AT91SAM7XC256/128 Preliminary
1. Description
Atmel's AT91SAM7XC256/128 is a member of a series of highly integrated Flash microcontrollers based on the 32-bit ARM RISC processor. It features 256/128 Kbyte high-speed Flash and
64/32 Kbyte SRAM, a large set of peripherals, including an 802.3 Ethernet MAC, a CAN controller, an AES 128 Encryption accelerator and a Triple Data Encryption System. A complete set of
system functions minimizes the number of external components.
The embedded Flash memory can be programmed in-system via the JTAG-ICE interface or via
a parallel interface on a production programmer prior to mounting. Built-in lock bits and a security bit protect the firmware from accidental overwrite and preserve its confidentiality.
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 system controller includes a reset controller capable of managing
the power-on sequence of the microcontroller and the complete system. Correct device operation can be monitored by a built-in brownout detector and a watchdog running off an integrated
RC oscillator.
By combining the ARM7TDMI processor with on-chip Flash and SRAM, and a wide range of
peripheral functions, including USART, SPI, CAN Controller, Ethernet MAC, AES 128 accelerator, TDES, Timer Counter, RTT and Analog-to-Digital Converters on a monolithic chip, the
AT91SAM7XC256/128 is a powerful device that provides a flexible, cost-effective solution to
many embedded control applications requiring secure communication over, for example, Ethernet, CAN wired and Zigbee wireless networks.

6. Power Considerations
6.1
Power Supplies
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 has six types of power supply pins and integrates a voltage regulator, allowing the device to be supplied with only one voltage. The six power supply pin types are:
• VDDIN pin. It powers the voltage regulator and the ADC; voltage ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V,
3.3V nominal. In order to decrease current consumption, if the voltage regulator and the ADC
are not used, VDDIN, ADVREF, AD5, AD6 and AD7 should be connected to GND. In this
case, VDDOUT should be left unconnected.
• VDDOUT pin. It is the output of the 1.8V voltage regulator.
• VDDIO pin. It powers the I/O lines; voltage ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V, 3.3V nominal.
• VDDFLASH pin. It powers the USB transceivers and a part of the Flash and is required for
the Flash to operate correctly; voltage ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V, 3.3V nominal.
• VDDCORE pins. They power the logic of the device; voltage ranges from 1.65V to 1.95V,
1.8V typical. It can be connected to the VDDOUT pin with decoupling capacitor. VDDCORE
is required for the device, including its embedded Flash, to operate correctly.
• VDDPLL pin. It powers the oscillator and the PLL. It can be connected directly to the
VDDOUT pin.
No separate ground pins are provided for the different power supplies. Only GND pins are provided and should be connected as shortly as possible to the system ground plane.
6.2
Power Consumption
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 has a static current of less than 60 µA on VDDCORE at 25°C,
including the RC oscillator, the voltage regulator and the power-on reset when the brownout
detector is deactivated. Activating the brownout detector adds 28 µA static current.
The dynamic power consumption on VDDCORE is less than 90 mA at full speed when running
out of the Flash. Under the same conditions, the power consumption on VDDFLASH does not
exceed 10 mA.
6.3
Voltage Regulator
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 embeds a voltage regulator that is managed by the System
Controller.
In Normal Mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 100 µA static current and draws 100
mA of output current.
The voltage regulator also has a Low-power Mode. In this mode, it consumes less than 25 µA
static current and draws 1 mA of output current.
Adequate output supply decoupling is mandatory for VDDOUT to reduce ripple and avoid oscillations. The best way to achieve this is to use two capacitors in parallel: one external 470 pF (or
1 nF) NPO capacitor should be connected between VDDOUT and GND as close to the chip as
possible. One external 2.2 µF (or 3.3 µF) X7R capacitor should be connected between VDDOUT
and GND.
9
6209AS–ATARM–20-Oct-05
Adequate input supply decoupling is mandatory for VDDIN in order to improve startup stability
and reduce source voltage drop. The input decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the
chip. For example, two capacitors can be used in parallel: 100 nF NPO and 4.7 µF X7R.
6.4
Typical Powering Schematics
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 supports a 3.3V single supply mode. The internal regulator input
connected to the 3.3V source and its output feeds VDDCORE and the VDDPLL. Figure 6-1
shows the power schematics to be used for USB bus-powered systems.

7. I/O Lines Considerations
7.1
JTAG Port Pins
TMS, TDI and TCK are schmitt trigger inputs and are not 5-V tolerant. TMS, TDI and TCK do not
integrate a pull-up resistor.
TDO is an output, driven at up to VDDIO, and has no pull-up resistor.
The JTAGSEL pin is used to select the JTAG boundary scan when asserted at a high level. The
JTAGSEL pin integrates a permanent pull-down resistor of about 15 kΩ to GND, so that it can be
left unconnected for normal operations.
7.2
Test Pin
The TST pin is used for manufacturing test or fast programming mode of the
AT91SAM7XC256/128 when asserted high. The TST pin integrates a permanent pull-down
resistor of about 15 kΩ to GND, so that it can be left unconnected for normal operations.
To enter fast programming mode, the TST pin and the PA0 and PA1 pins should be tied high
and PA2 tied to low.
Driving the TST pin at a high level while PA0 or PA1 is driven at 0 leads to unpredictable results.
7.3
Reset Pin
The NRST pin is bidirectional with an open drain output buffer. It is handled by the on-chip reset
controller and can be driven low to provide a reset signal to the external components or asserted
low externally to reset the microcontroller. There is no constraint on the length of the reset pulse,
and the reset controller can guarantee a minimum pulse length. This allows connection of a simple push-button on the NRST pin as system user reset, and the use of the signal NRST to reset
all the components of the system.
The NRST pin integrates a permanent pull-up resistor to VDDIO.
7.4
ERASE Pin
The ERASE pin is used to re-initialize the Flash content and some of its NVM bits. It integrates a
permanent pull-down resistor of about 15 kΩ to GND, so that it can be left unconnected for normal operations.
This pin is debounced by the RC oscillator to improve the glitch tolerance. Minimum debouncing
time is 200 ms.
7.5
PIO Controller Lines
All the I/O lines, PA0 to PA30 and PB0 to PB30, are 5V-tolerant and all integrate a programmable pull-up resistor. Programming of this pull-up resistor is performed independently for each I/O
line through the PIO controllers.
5V-tolerant means that the I/O lines can drive voltage level according to VDDIO, but can be
driven with a voltage of up to 5.5V. However, driving an I/O line with a voltage over VDDIO while
the programmable pull-up resistor is enabled can lead to unpredictable results. Care should be
taken, in particular at reset, as all the I/O lines default to input with pull-up resistor enabled at
reset.
11
6209AS–ATARM–20-Oct-05
7.6
I/O Lines Current Drawing
The PIO lines PA0 to PA3 are high-drive current capable. Each of these I/O lines can drive up to
16 mA permanently.
The remaining I/O lines can draw only 8 mA.
However, the total current drawn by all the I/O lines cannot exceed 200 mA.

Memory Mapping
Internal RAM
• The AT91SAM7XC256 embeds a high-speed 64-Kbyte SRAM bank
• The AT91SAM7XC128 embeds a high-speed 32-Kbyte SRAM bank.
After reset and until the Remap Command is performed, the SRAM is only accessible at address
0x0020 0000. After Remap, the SRAM also becomes available at address 0x0.
9.3.2
Internal ROM
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 embeds an Internal ROM. At any time, the ROM is mapped at
address 0x30 0000. The ROM contains FFPI and SAM-BA program.
9.3.3
Internal Flash
• The AT91SAM7XC256 features one bank of 256 Kbytes of Flash
• The AT91SAM7XC128 features one bank of 128 Kbytes of Flash.
At any time, the Flash is mapped to address 0x0010 0000. It is also accessible at address 0x0
after the reset and before the Remap Command.
A general purpose NVM (GPNVM) bit is used to boot either on the ROM (default) or from the
Flash.
This GPNVM bit can be cleared or set respectively through the commands “Clear General-purpose NVM Bit” and “Set General-purpose NVM Bit” of the EFC User Interface.
Setting the GPNVM Bit 2 selects the boot from the Flash. Asserting ERASE clears the GPNVM
Bit 2 and thus selects the boot from the ROM by default.

Embedded Flash
9.4.1
Flash Overview
• The Flash of the AT91SAM7XC256 is organized in 1024 pages of 256 bytes. It reads as
65,536 32-bit words.
• The Flash of the AT91SAM7XC128 is organized in 512 pages of 256 bytes. It reads as
32,768 32-bit words.
The Flash contains a 256-byte write buffer, accessible through a 32-bit interface.
The Flash benefits from the integration of a power reset cell and from the brownout detector.
This prevents code corruption during power supply changes, even in the worst conditions.
When Flash is not used (read or write access), it is automatically placed into standby mode.
9.4.2
Embedded Flash Controller
The Embedded Flash Controller (EFC) manages accesses performed by the masters of the system. It enables reading the Flash and writing the write buffer. It also contains a User Interface,
mapped within the Memory Controller on the APB. The User Interface allows:
• programming of the access parameters of the Flash (number of wait states, timings, etc.)
• starting commands such as full erase, page erase, page program, NVM bit set, NVM bit
clear, etc.
• getting the end status of the last command
• getting error status
• programming interrupts on the end of the last commands or on errors
The Embedded Flash Controller also provides a dual 32-bit Prefetch Buffer that optimizes 16-bit
access to the Flash. This is particularly efficient when the processor is running in Thumb mode.
17
6209AS–ATARM–20-Oct-05
9.4.3
9.4.3.1
Lock Regions
AT91SAM7XC256
The Embedded Flash Controller manages 16 lock bits to protect 16 regions of the flash against
inadvertent flash erasing or programming commands. The AT91SAM7XC256 contains 16 lock
regions and each lock region contains 64 pages of 256 bytes. Each lock region has a size of 16
Kbytes.
If a locked-region’s erase or program command occurs, the command is aborted and the EFC
trigs an interrupt.
The 16 NVM bits are software programmable through the EFC User Interface. The command
“Set Lock Bit” enables the protection. The command “Clear Lock Bit” unlocks the lock region.
Asserting the ERASE pin clears the lock bits, thus unlocking the entire Flash.
9.4.3.2
AT91SAM7XC128
The Embedded Flash Controller manages 8 lock bits to protect 8 regions of the flash against
inadvertent flash erasing or programming commands. The AT91SAM7XC128 contains 8 lock
regions and each lock region contains 64 pages of 256 bytes. Each lock region has a size of 16
Kbytes.
If a locked-region’s erase or program command occurs, the command is aborted and the EFC
trigs an interrupt.
The 8 NVM bits are software programmable through the EFC User Interface. The command “Set
Lock Bit” enables the protection. The command “Clear Lock Bit” unlocks the lock region.
Asserting the ERASE pin clears the lock bits, thus unlocking the entire Flash.
9.4.4
Security Bit Feature
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 features a security bit, based on a specific NVM-Bit. When the security is enabled, any access to the Flash, either through the ICE interface or through the Fast
Flash Programming Interface, is forbidden. This ensures the confidentiality of the code programmed in the Flash.
This security bit can only be enabled, through the Command “Set Security Bit” of the EFC User
Interface. Disabling the security bit can only be achieved by asserting the ERASE pin at 1, and
after a full flash erase is performed. When the security bit is deactivated, all accesses to the
flash are permitted.
It is important to note that the assertion of the ERASE pin should always be longer than 200 ms.
As the ERASE pin integrates a permanent pull-down, it can be left unconnected during normal
operation. However, it is safer to connect it directly to GND for the final application.
9.4.5
Non-volatile Brownout Detector Control
Two general purpose NVM (GPNVM) bits are used for controlling the brownout detector (BOD),
so that even after a power loss, the brownout detector operations remain in their state.
These two GPNVM bits can be cleared or set respectively through the commands “Clear General-purpose NVM Bit” and “Set General-purpose NVM Bit” of the EFC User Interface.
18
AT91SAM7XC256/128 Preliminary
6209AS–ATARM–20-Oct-05
AT91SAM7XC256/128 Preliminary
• GPNVM Bit 0 is used as a brownout detector enable bit. Setting the GPNVM Bit 0 enables
the BOD, clearing it disables the BOD. Asserting ERASE clears the GPNVM Bit 0 and thus
disables the brownout detector by default.
• The GPNVM Bit 1 is used as a brownout reset enable signal for the reset controller. Setting
the GPNVM Bit 1 enables the brownout reset when a brownout is detected, Clearing the
GPNVM Bit 1 disables the brownout reset. Asserting ERASE disables the brownout reset by
default.
9.4.6
Calibration Bits
Eight NVM bits are used to calibrate the brownout detector and the voltage regulator. These bits
are factory configured and cannot be changed by the user. The ERASE pin has no effect on the
calibration bits.
9.5
Fast Flash Programming Interface
The Fast Flash Programming Interface allows programming the device through either a serial
JTAG interface or through a multiplexed fully-handshaked parallel port. It allows gang-programming with market-standard industrial programmers.
The FFPI supports read, page program, page erase, full erase, lock, unlock and protect
commands.
The Fast Flash Programming Interface is enabled and the Fast Programming Mode is entered
when the TST pin and the PA0 and PA1 pins are all tied high.
9.6
SAM-BA Boot Assistant
The SAM-BA Boot Assistant is a default Boot Program that provides an easy way to program insitu the on-chip Flash memory.
The SAM-BA Boot Assistant supports serial communication via the DBGU or the USB Device
Port.
• Communication via the DBGU supports a wide range of crystals from 3 to 20 MHz via
software auto-detection.
• Communication via the USB Device Port is limited to an 18.432 MHz crystal.
The SAM-BA Boot provides an interface with SAM-BA Graphic User Interface (GUI).
The SAM-BA Boot is in ROM and is mapped in Flash at address 0x0 when the GPNVM Bit 2 is
set to 0.

Reset Controller
• Based on one power-on reset cell and one brownout detector
• Status of the last reset, either Power-up Reset, Software Reset, User Reset, Watchdog
Reset, Brownout Reset
• Controls the internal resets and the NRST pin output
• Allows to shape a signal on the NRST line, guaranteeing that the length of the pulse meets
any requirement.
10.2.1
Brownout Detector and Power-on Reset
The AT91SAM7XC256/128 embeds one brownout detection circuit and a power-on reset cell.
The power-on reset is supplied with and monitors VDDCORE.
Both signals are provided to the Flash to prevent any code corruption during power-up or powerdown sequences or if brownouts occur on the power supplies.
The power-on reset cell has a limited-accuracy threshold at around 1.5V. Its output remains low
during power-up until VDDCORE goes over this voltage level. This signal goes to the reset controller and allows a full re-initialization of the device.
The brownout detector monitors the VDDCORE and VDDFLASH levels during operation by
comparing them to a fixed trigger level. It secures system operations in the most difficult environments and prevents code corruption in case of brownout on the VDDCORE or VDDFLASH.
When the brownout detector is enabled and VDDCORE decreases to a value below the trigger
level (Vbot18-, defined as Vbot18 - hyst/2), the brownout output is immediately activated.
When VDDCORE increases above the trigger level (Vbot18+, defined as Vbot18 + hyst/2), the
reset is released. The brownout detector only detects a drop if the voltage on VDDCORE stays
below the threshold voltage for longer than about 1µs.
The VDDCORE threshold voltage has a hysteresis of about 50 mV, to ensure spike free brownout detection. The typical value of the brownout detector threshold is 1.68V with an accuracy of
± 2% and is factory calibrated.
When the brownout detector is enabled and VDDFLASH decreases to a value below the trigger
level (Vbot33-, defined as Vbot33 - hyst/2), the brownout output is immediately activated.
When VDDFLASH increases above the trigger level (Vbot33+, defined as Vbot33 + hyst/2), the
reset is released. The brownout detector only detects a drop if the voltage on VDDCORE stays
below the threshold voltage for longer than about 1µs.
The VDDFLASH threshold voltage has a hysteresis of about 50 mV, to ensure spike free brownout detection. The typical value of the brownout detector threshold is 2.80V with an accuracy of
± 3.5% and is factory calibrated.
The brownout detector is low-power, as it consumes less than 28 µA static current. However, it
can be deactivated to save its static current. In this case, it consumes less than 1µA. The deactivation is configured through the GPNVM bit 0 of the Flash.

The AT91SAM7XC256/128 features two PIO controllers, PIOA and PIOB, that multiplex the I/O
lines of the peripheral set.
Each PIO Controller controls 31 lines. Each line can be assigned to one of two peripheral functions, A or B. Some of them can also be multiplexed with the analog inputs of the ADC
Controller.
Table 11-1 on page 29 and Table 11-2 on page 30 defines how the I/O lines of the peripherals A,
B or the analog inputs are multiplexed on the PIO Controller A and PIO Controller B. The two
columns “Function” and “Comments” have been inserted for the user’s own comments; they may
be used to track how pins are defined in an application.
Note that some peripheral functions that are output only, may be duplicated in the table.
At reset, all I/O lines are automatically configured as input with the programmable pull-up
enabled, so that the device is maintained in a static state as soon as a reset is detected.
