Description
The AT91X40 Series is a subset of the Atmel AT91 16/32-bit microcontroller family,
which is based on the ARM7TDMI processor core. This processor has a high-performance 32-bit RISC architecture with a high-density 16-bit instruction set and very low
power consumption. In addition, a large number of internally banked registers result in
very fast exception handling, making the device ideal for real-time control applications.
The AT91X40 Series features a direct connection to off-chip memory, including Flash,
through the fully programmable External Bus Interface (EBI). An eight-level priority
vectored interrupt controller, in conjunction with the Peripheral Data Controller significantly improve the real-time performance of the device.
The devices are manufactured using Atmel’s high-density CMOS technology. By combining the ARM7TDMI processor core with on-chip high-speed memory and a wide
range of peripheral functions on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT91X40 Series is a family of powerful microcontrollers that offer a flexible, cost-effective solution to many
compute-intensive embedded control applications.

AT91X40 Series
1354D–ATARM–05/02
AT91X40 Series
Architectural
Overview
The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate an ARM7TDMI with its embedded ICE
interface, memories and peripherals. The series’ architecture consists of two main
buses, the Advanced System Bus (ASB) and the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB).
Designed for maximum performance and controlled by the memory controller, the ASB
interfaces the ARM7TDMI processor with the on-chip 32-bit memories, the External Bus
Interface (EBI) and the AMBA™ Bridge. The AMBA Bridge drives the APB, which is
designed for accesses to on-chip peripherals and optimized for low-power consumption.
The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers implement the ICE port of the ARM7TDMI processor on dedicated pins, offering a complete, low-cost and easy-to-use debug solution for
target debugging.
Memories
The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers embed up to 256K bytes of internal SRAM, and
up to 128K bytes of ROM. The internal memories are directly connected to the 32-bit
data bus and are single-cycle accessible. This provides maximum performance of 0.9
MIPS/MHz by using the ARM instruction set of the processor, minimizing system power
consumption and improving the performance of separate memory solutions.
The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers feature an External Bus Interface (EBI), which
enables connection of external memories and application-specific peripherals. The EBI
supports 8- or 16-bit devices and can use two 8-bit devices to emulate a single 16-bit
device. The EBI implements the early read protocol, enabling faster memory accesses
than standard memory interfaces.
Peripherals
The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate several peripherals, which are classified
as system or user peripherals. All on-chip peripherals are 32-bit accessible by the
AMBA Bridge, and can be programmed with a minimum number of instructions. The
peripheral register set is composed of control, mode, data, status and enable/disable/status registers.
An on-chip Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) transfers data between the on-chip
USARTs and on- and off-chip memories address space without processor intervention.
Most importantly, the PDC removes the processor interrupt handling overhead, making
it possible to transfer up to 64K continuous bytes without reprogramming the start
address, thus increasing the performance of the microcontroller, and reducing the power
consumption.
System Peripherals
The External Bus Interface (EBI) controls the external memory or devices via an 8-bit or
16-bit data bus, and is programmed through the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). Each
chip select line has its own programming register.
The Power Saving (PS) module implements the Idle Mode (ARM7TDMI core clock
stopped until the next interrupt) and enables the user to adapt the power consumption of
the microcontroller to application requirements (independent peripheral clock control).
The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) controls the internal sources from the internal
peripherals and the four external interrupt lines (including the FIQ) to provide an interrupt and/or fast interrupt request to the ARM7TDMI. It integrates an 8-level priority
controller, and, using the Auto-vectoring feature, reduces the interrupt latency time.
The Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) controls up to 32 I/O lines. It enables the user
to select specific pins for on-chip peripheral input/output functions, and general-purpose
input/output signal pins. The PIO controller can be programmed to detect an interrupt on
a signal change from each line.
5
1354D–ATARM–05/02
The Watchdog (WD) can be used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes
trapped in a deadlock.
The Special Function (SF) module integrates the Chip ID, the Reset Status and the Protect registers.
User Peripherals
Two USARTs, independently configurable, enable communication at a high baud rate in
Synchronous or Asynchronous Mode. The format includes start, stop and parity bits and
up to 8 data bits. Each USART also features a Timeout and a Time Guard register, facilitating the use of the two dedicated Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) channels.
The 3-channel, 16-bit Timer Counter (TC) is highly-programmable and supports Capture
or Waveform Modes. Each TC channel can be programmed to measure or generate different kinds of waves, and can detect and control two input/output signals. The TC also
has 3 external clock signals.

Product Overview
Power Supply
The AT91x40 Series Microcontrollers have two types of power supply pins - VDDIO and
VDDCORE. However, the AT91M40800, the AT91M40807 and the AT91R40807 have
single-supply VDD, VDDIO and VDDCORE pins that have to be tied to the same voltage. For further details on power supplies and acceptable voltage range on VDD,
VDDIO and VDDCORE, refer to the product Summary Datasheet or the product Electrical Characteristics datasheet.
Input/Output
Considerations
The AT91M40807, the AT91R40807 and the AT91R40008 accept voltage levels up to
their power supply limit on the pads.
The AT91M40800 Microcontroller I/O pads are 5V-tolerant, enabling it to interface with
external 5V devices without any additional components. 5V-tolerant means that the
AT91M40800 accepts 5V (3V) on the inputs even if it is powered at 3V (2V). Refer to the
AT91M40800 Electrical Characteristics datasheet for further details.
After the reset, the peripheral I/Os are initialized as inputs to provide the user with maximum flexibility. It is recommended that in any application phase, the inputs to the
AT91X40 Series Microcontroller be held at valid logic levels to minimize the power
consumption.
Master Clock
The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers have a fully static design and work on the Master
Clock (MCK), provided on the MCKI pin from an external source.
The Master Clock is also provided as an output of the device on the pin MCKO, which is
multiplexed with a general-purpose I/O line. While NRST is active, the MCKO stays low.
After the reset, the MCKO is valid and outputs an image of the MCK signal. The PIO
Controller must be programmed to use this pin as standard I/O line.
Reset
Reset restores the default states of the user interface registers (defined in the user interface of each peripheral), and forces the ARM7TDMI to perform the next instruction fetch
from address zero. Except for the program counter the ARM7TDMI registers do not
have defined reset states.
NRST Pin
NRST is active low-level input. It is asserted asynchronously, but exit from reset is synchronized internally to the MCK. The signal presented on MCK must be active within the
specification for a minimum of 10 clock cycles up to the rising edge of NRST, to ensure
correct operation. The first processor fetch occurs 80 clock cycles after the rising edge
of NRST.
Watchdog Reset
The watchdog can be programmed to generate an internal reset. In this case, the reset
has the same effect as the NRST pin assertion, but the pins BMS and NTRI are not
sampled. Boot Mode and Tri-state Mode are not updated. If the NRST pin is asserted
and the watchdog triggers the internal reset, the NRST pin has priority.
Emulation Function
Tri-state Mode
8
The AT91X40 Series provides a tri-state mode, which is used for debug purposes. This
enables the connection of an emulator probe to an application board without having to
desolder the device from the target board. In tri-state mode, all the output pin drivers of
the AT91X40 Series Microcontroller are disabled.
AT91X40 Series
1354D–ATARM–05/02
AT91X40 Series
To enter tri-state mode, the pin NTRI must be held low during the last 10 clock cycles
before the rising edge of NRST. For normal operation, the pin NTRI must be held high
during reset, by a resistor of up to 400K Ohm.
NTRI is multiplexed with I/O line P21 and USART 1 serial data transmit line TXD1.
Standard RS-232 drivers generally contain internal 400K Ohm pull-up resistors. If TXD1
is connected to a device not including this pull-up, the user must make sure that a high
level is tied on NTRI while NRST is asserted.
JTAG/ICE Debug
ARM standard embedded In-circuit Emulation is supported via the JTAG/ICE port. The
pins TDI, TDO, TCK and TMS are dedicated to this debug function and can be connected to a host computer via the external ICE interface.
In ICE Debug Mode, the ARM7TDMI core responds with a non-JTAG chip ID that identifies the microcontroller. This is not fully IEEE1149.1 compliant.
Memory Controller
The ARM7TDMI processor address space is 4G bytes. The memory controller decodes
the internal 32-bit address bus and defines three address spaces:
•
Internal Memories in the four lowest megabytes
•
Middle Space reserved for the external devices (memory or peripherals) controlled
by the EBI
•
Internal Peripherals in the four highest megabytes
In any of these address spaces, the ARM7TDMI operates in Little-Endian Mode only.
Internal Memories
The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate one or two banks of internal static
SRAM and/or one bank of ROM. All internal memories are 32 bits wide and single-clock
cycle accessible. Byte (8-bit), halfword (16-bit) or word (32-bit) accesses are supported
and are executed within one cycle. Fetching Thumb or ARM instructions is supported
and internal memory can store twice as many Thumb instructions as ARM ones.
All the AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate a primary 8-Kbyte or 256-Kbyte
SRAM bank, accessible at address 0x0 (after the remap).
The AT91R40807 integrates a secondary SRAM memory bank of 128K bytes at
address 0x10 0000. This secondary bank can be used to emulate the ROM of the
AT91M40807.
The AT91M40807 Microcontroller integrates 128K bytes of internal ROM at address
0x10 0000. It offers a reduced-cost option of the AT91R40807 for high-volume applications in which the software is stable.
Using Internal Memories
The primary RAM bank is always mapped at address 0x30 0000 before remap and at
address 0x0 after the remap, allowing ARM7TDMI exception vectors to be modified by
the software. Making the RAM bank accessible before remap allows the user to copy
ARM exception vectors and boot code into the bank prior to remap.
The rest of the bank can be used for stack allocation to speed up context saving and
restoration, or as data and program storage for critical algorithms.
Placing the SRAM on-chip and using a 32-bit data bus bandwidth maximizes microcontroller performance while minimizing system power consumption. The 32-bit bus
optimizes use of the ARM instruction set and offers the ability to process data wider than
16 bits, thus making optimal use of the ARM7TDMI advanced performance.
The capability to update application software dynamically in an internal SRAM bank
adds an extra dimension to the AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers.

ROM Emulation
T he AT9 1 R 4 0 8 0 7 p r ov id e s a n id e a l m e an s o f e mu la t in g th e R O M v e rs io n
AT91M40807. The secondary SRAM bank of the AT91R40807 is mapped to the same
address as the ROM of the AT91M40807. It is write-protected after a reset; writing 0x1
in the Memory Mode Register of the Special Function Module can disable this
protection.
At system power-up, the code is downloaded from an external non-volatile memory or
through a debugger to the on-chip secondary SRAM bank of the AT91R40807. After the
secondary SRAM bank write-protection is enabled, the application is in the same environment as though it were running on an AT91M40807.
Boot Mode Select
The ARM reset vector is at address 0x0. After the NRST line is released, the
ARM7TDMI executes the instruction stored at this address. This means that this
address must be mapped in non-volatile memory after the reset.
The input level on the BMS pin during the last 10 clock cycles before the rising edge of
the NRST selects the type of boot memory. The Boot Mode depends on BMS and
whether or not the AT91X40 Series Microcontroller has on-chip ROM or extended
SRAM (see Table 3).
The AT91R40807 supports boot in on-chip extended SRAM, for the purpose of emulating ROM versions. In this case, the microcontroller must first boot from external nonvolatile memory, and ensure that a valid program is downloaded in the on-chip extended
SRAM. Then, the NRST must be reasserted by external circuitry after the level on the
pin BMS is changed.
The pin BMS is multiplexed with the I/O line P24 that can be programmed after reset like
any standard PIO line.

Remap Command
The ARM vectors (Reset, Abort, Data Abort, Prefetch Abort, Undefined Instruction,
Interrupt, Fast Interrupt) are mapped from address 0x0 to address 0x20. In order to
allow these vectors to be redefined dynamically by the software, the AT91X40 Series
Microcontrollers use a remap command that enables switching between the boot memory and the internal primary SRAM bank addresses. The remap command is accessible
through the EBI User Interface, by writing one in RCB of EBI_RCR (Remap Control
Register). Performing a remap command is mandatory if access to the other external
devices (connected to chip selects 1 to 7) is required. The remap operation can only be
changed back by an internal reset or an NRST assertion.
Abort Control
The abort signal providing a Data Abort or a Prefetch Abort exception to the ARM7TDMI
is asserted in the following cases:
10
•
When accessing an undefined address in the EBI address space
•
When writing to a write-protected internal memory area on the AT91R40807
AT91X40 Series
1354D–ATARM–05/02
AT91X40 Series
No abort is generated when reading the internal memory or by accessing the internal
peripheral, whether the address is defined or not.
When a write-protected area is accessed, the memory controller detects it and generates an abort but does not cancel the access.
External Bus Interface
The External Bus Interface handles the accesses between addresses 0x0040 0000 and
0xFFC0 0000. It generates the signals that control access to the external devices, and
can be configured from eight 1M byte banks up to four 16M bytes banks. It supports
byte, half-word and word aligned accesses.
For each of these banks, the user can program:
•
Number of wait states
•
Number of data float times (wait time after the access is finished to prevent any bus
contention in case the device is too long in releasing the bus)
•
Data bus width (8-bit or 16-bit)
•
With a 16-bit wide data bus, the user can program the EBI to control one 16-bit
device (Byte Access Select Mode) or two 8-bit devices in parallel that emulate a 16bit memory (Byte Write Access Mode).
The External Bus Interface features also the Early Read Protocol, configurable for all the
devices, that significantly reduces access time requirements on an external device in
the case of single clock cycle access.
Peripherals
The AT91X40 Series’ peripherals are connected to the 32-bit wide Advanced Peripheral
Bus. Peripheral registers are only word accessible – byte and half-word accesses are
not supported. If a byte or a half-word access is attempted, the memory controller automatically masks the lowest address bits and generates a word access.
Each peripheral has a 16-Kbyte address space allocated (the AIC only has a 4-Kbyte
address space).
Peripheral Registers
The following registers are common to all peripherals:
•
Control Register – write only register that triggers a command when a one is written
to the corresponding position at the appropriate address. Writing a zero has no
effect.
•
Mode Register – read/write register that defines the configuration of the peripheral.
Usually has a value of 0x0 after a reset.
•
Data Registers – read and/or write register that enables the exchange of data
between the processor and the peripheral.
•
Status Register – read only register that returns the status of the peripheral.
•
Enable/Disable/Status Registers are shadow command registers. Writing a one in
the Enable Register sets the corresponding bit in the Status Register. Writing a one
in the Disable Register resets the corresponding bit and the result can be read in the
Status Register. Writing a bit to zero has no effect. This register access method
maximizes the efficiency of bit manipulation, and enables modification of a register
with a single non-interruptible instruction, replacing the costly read-modify-write
operation.
Unused bits in the peripheral registers are shown as “–“ and must be written at 0 for
upward compatibility. These bits read 0.

1354D–ATARM–05/02
Peripheral Interrupt Control
The Interrupt Control of each peripheral is controlled from the status register using the
interrupt mask. The status register bits are ANDed to their corresponding interrupt mask
bits and the result is then ORed to generate the Interrupt Source signal to the Advanced
Interrupt Controller.
The interrupt mask is read in the Interrupt Mask Register and is modified with the Interrupt Enable Register and the Interrupt Disable Register. The enable/disable/status (or
mask) makes it possible to enable or disable peripheral interrupt sources with a noninterruptible single instruction. This eliminates the need for interrupt masking at the AIC
or Core level in real-time and multi-tasking systems.
Peripheral Data Controller
The AT91X40 Series Microcontroller has a 4-channel PDC dedicated to the two on-chip
USARTs. One PDC channel is dedicated to the receiver and one to the transmitter of
each USART.
The user interface of a PDC channel is integrated in the memory space of each USART.
It contains a 32-bit Address Pointer Register (RPR or TPR) and a 16-bit Transfer
Counter Register (RCR or TCR). When the programmed number of transfers are performed, a status bit indicating the end of transfer is set in the USART Status Register
and an interrupt can be generated.
System Peripherals
PS: Power-saving
The Power-saving feature optimizes power consumption, enabling the software to stop
the ARM7TDMI clock (Idle Mode) and restarting it when the module receives an interrupt (or reset). It also enables on-chip peripheral clocks to be enabled and disabled
individually, matching power consumption and application needs.
AIC: Advanced Interrupt
Controller
The AIC has an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored interrupt controller, and
drives the NIRQ and NFIQ pins of the ARM7TDMI from:
•
The external fast interrupt line (FIQ)
•
The three external interrupt request lines (IRQ0 - IRQ2)
•
The interrupt signals from the on-chip peripherals
The AIC is extensively programmable, offering maximum flexibility, and its vectoring features reduce the real-time overhead in handling interrupts.
The AIC also features a spurious vector, which reduces spurious interrupt handling to a
minimum, and a protect mode that facilitates the debug capabilities.
PIO: Parallel IO Controller
The AT91X40 Series has 32 programmable I/O lines. Six pins are dedicated as generalpurpose I/O pins. Other I/O lines are multiplexed with an external signal of a peripheral
to optimize the use of available package pins. The PIO controller enables generation of
an interrupt on input change and insertion of a simple input glitch filter on any of the PIO
pins.
WD: Watchdog
The Watchdog is built around a 16-bit counter, and is used to prevent system lock-up if
the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. It can generate an internal reset or interrupt, or assert an active level on the dedicated pin NWDOVF. All programming registers
are password-protected to prevent unintentional programming.

EBI: External Bus
Interface
The EBI generates the signals that control the access to the external memory or peripheral devices. The EBI is fully-programmable and can address up to 64M bytes. It has
eight chip selects and a 24-bit address bus, the upper four bits of which are multiplexed
with a chip select.
The 16-bit data bus can be configured to interface with 8- or 16-bit external devices.
Separate read and write control signals allow for direct memory and peripheral
interfacing.
The EBI supports different access protocols allowing single-clock cycle memory
accesses.
The main features are:
•
External memory mapping
•
Up to 8 chip select lines
•
8- or 16-bit data bus
•
Byte write or byte select lines
•
Remap of boot memory
•
Two different read protocols
•
Programmable wait state generation
•
External wait request
•
Programmable data float time
The “EBI User Interface” is described on page 45.
External Memory
Mapping
The memory map associates the internal 32-bit address space with the external 24-bit
address bus.
The memory map is defined by programming the base address and page size of the
external memories (see “EBI User Interface” registers EBI_CSR0 to EBI_CSR7). Note
that A0 - A23 is only significant for 8-bit memory; A1 - A23 is used for 16-bit memory.
If the physical memory device is smaller than the programmed page size, it wraps
around and appears to be repeated within the page. The EBI correctly handles any valid
access to the memory device within the page (see Figure 6).
In the event of an access request to an address outside any programmed page, an
Abort signal is generated. Two types of Abort are possible: instruction prefetch abort
and data abort. The corresponding exception vector addresses are respectively
0x0000000C and 0x00000010. It is up to the system programmer to program the error
handling routine to use in case of an Abort (see the ARM7TDMI datasheet for further
information).
If two chip selects are defined as having the same base address, an access to the overlapping address space asserts both NCS lines. The Chip Select Register with the
smaller number defines the characteristics of the external access and the behavior of
the control signals.

Chip Select Lines
The EBI provides up to eight chip select lines:
•
Chip select lines NCS0 - NCS3 are dedicated to the EBI (not multiplexed).
•
Chip select lines CS4 - CS7 are multiplexed with the top four address lines A23 A20.
By exchanging address lines for chip select lines, the user can optimize the EBI to suit
the external memory requirements: more external devices or larger address range for
each device.
The selection is controlled by the ALE field in EBI_MCR (Memory Control Register). The
following combinations are possible:
A20, A21, A22, A23 (configuration by default)
A20, A21, A22, CS4
A20, A21, CS5, CS4

Byte Write or Byte Select
Access
Each chip select with a 16-bit data bus can operate with one of two different types of
write access:
•
Byte Write Access supports two byte write and a single read signal.
•
Byte Select Access selects upper and/or lower byte with two byte select lines, and
separate read and write signals.
This option is controlled by the BAT field in the EBI_CSR (Chip Select Register) for the
corresponding chip select.
Byte Write Access is used to connect 2 x 8-bit devices as a 16-bit memory page.
•
The signal A0/NLB is not used.
•
The signal NWR1/NUB is used as NWR1 and enables upper byte writes.
•
The signal NWR0/NWE is used as NWR0 and enables lower byte writes.
•
The signal NRD/NOE is used as NRD and enables half-word and byte reads.
Figure 11 shows how to connect two 512K x 8-bit devices in parallel on NCS2.

Boot on NCS0
Depending on the device and the BMS pin level during the reset, the user can select
either an 8-bit or 16-bit external memory device connected on NCS0 as the Boot Memory. In this case, EBI_CSR0 (Chip Select Register 0) is reset at the following
configuration for chip select 0:
•
8 wait states (WSE = 1, NWS = 7)
•
8-bit or 16-bit data bus width, depending on BMS
Byte access type and number of data float time are respectively set to Byte Write
Access and 0. With a non-volatile memory interface, any values can be programmed for
these parameters.
Before the remap command, the user can modify the chip select 0 configuration, programming the EBI_CSR0 with exact boot memory characteristics. the base address
becomes effective after the remap command, but the new number of wait states can be
changed immediately. This is useful if a boot sequence needs to be faster.

Read Protocols
The EBI provides two alternative protocols for external memory read access: standard
and early read. The difference between the two protocols lies in the timing of the NRD
(read cycle) waveform.
The protocol is selected by the DRP field in EBI_MCR (Memory Control Register) and is
valid for all memory devices. Standard read protocol is the default protocol after reset.
Note:
Standard Read Protocol
In the following waveforms and descriptions, NRD represents NRD and NOE since the
two signals have the same waveform. Likewise, NWE represents NWE, NWR0 and
NWR1 unless NWR0 and NWR1 are otherwise represented. ADDR represents A0 - A23
and/or A1 - A23.
Standard read protocol implements a read cycle in which NRD and NWE are similar.
Both are active during the second half of the clock cycle. The first half of the clock cycle
allows time to ensure completion of the previous access as well as the output of address
and NCS before the read cycle begins.
During a standard read protocol, external memory access, NCS is set low and ADDR is
valid at the beginning of the access while NRD goes low only in the second half of the
master clock cycle to avoid bus conflict (see Figure 14). NWE is the same in both protocols. NWE always goes low in the second half of the master clock cycle (see Figure 15).
Early Read Protocol
Early read protocol provides more time for a read access from the memory by asserting
NRD at the beginning of the clock cycle. In the case of successive read cycles in the
same memory, NRD remains active continuously. Since a read cycle normally limits the
speed of operation of the external memory system, early read protocol can allow a
faster clock frequency to be used. However, an extra wait state is required in some
cases to avoid contentions on the external bus.
Early Read Wait State
In early read protocol, an early read wait state is automatically inserted when an external write cycle is followed by a read cycle to allow time for the write cycle to end before
the subsequent read cycle begins (see Figure 16). This wait state is generated in addition to any other programmed wait states (i.e. data float wait).
No wait state is added when a read cycle is followed by a write cycle, between consecutive accesses of the same type or between external and internal memory accesses.
Early read wait states affect the external bus only. They do not affect internal bus timing.

Write Data Hold Time
During write cycles in both protocols, output data becomes valid after the falling edge of
the NWE signal and remains valid after the rising edge of NWE, as illustrated in Figure
17. The external NWE waveform (on the NWE pin) is used to control the output data timing to guarantee this operation.
It is therefore necessary to avoid excessive loading of the NWE pins, which could delay
the write signal too long and cause a contention with a subsequent read cycle in standard protocol.

Data Output
In early read protocol the data can remain valid longer than in standard read protocol
due to the additional wait cycle which follows a write access.
Wait States
Standard Wait States
The EBI can automatically insert wait states. The different types of wait states are listed
below:
•
Standard wait states
•
Data float wait states
•
External wait states
•
Chip select change wait states
•
Early read wait states (see “Read Protocols” )
Each chip select can be programmed to insert one or more wait states during an access
on the corresponding device. This is done by setting the WSE field in the corresponding
EBI_CSR. The number of cycles to insert is programmed in the NWS field in the same
register.
Below is the correspondence between the number of standard wait states programmed
and the number of cycles during which the NWE pulse is held low:
0 wait states1/2 cycle
1 wait state1 cycle
For each additional wait state programmed, an additional cycle is added.

Notes:
Data Float Wait State
(1)
(2)
1. Early Read Protocol
2. Standard Read Protocol
Some memory devices are slow to release the external bus. For such devices it is necessary to add wait states (data float waits) after a read access before starting a write
access or a read access to a different external memory.
The Data Float Output Time (tDF) for each external memory device is programmed in the
TDF field of the EBI_CSR register for the corresponding chip select. The value (0 - 7
clock cycles) indicates the number of data float waits to be inserted and represents the
time allowed for the data output to go high impedance after the memory is disabled.
Data float wait states do not delay internal memory accesses. Hence, a single access to
an external memory with long tDF will not slow down the execution of a program from
internal memory.
The EBI keeps track of the programmed external data float time during internal
accesses, to ensure that the external memory system is not accessed while it is still
busy.
Internal memory accesses and consecutive accesses to the same external memory do
not have added Data Float wait states.

External Wait
1. Early Read Protocol
2. Standard Read Protocol
The NWAIT input can be used to add wait states at any time. NWAIT is active low and is
detected on the rising edge of the clock.
If NWAIT is low at the rising edge of the clock, the EBI adds a wait state and changes
neither the output signals nor its internal counters and state. When NWAIT is deasserted, the EBI finishes the access sequence.
The NWAIT signal must meet setup and hold requirements on the rising edge of the
clock.

Additional constraints are applicable to the AT91R40807, the AT91M40807 and the
AT91 40800. The behavior of the EBI is correct when NWAIT is asserted during an
external memory access:
•
When NWAIT is asserted before the first rising edge of MCKI
•
When NWAIT is de-asserted and at least one standard wait state remains to be
executed
These constraints are not applicable to the AT91R40008.
Chip Select Change Wait
States
A chip select wait state is automatically inserted when consecutive accesses are made
to two different external memories (if no wait states have already been inserted). If any
wait states have already been inserted, (e.g., data float wait) then none are added.

EBI User Interface
The EBI is programmed using the registers listed in the table below. The Remap Control
Register (EBI_RCR) controls exit from Boot Mode (See “Boot on NCS0” on page 26.)
The Memory Control Register (EBI_MCR) is used to program the number of active chip
selects and data read protocol. Eight Chip Select Registers (EBI_CSR0 to EBI_CSR7)
are used to program the parameters for the individual external memories. Each
EBI_CSR must be programmed with a different base address, even for unused chip
selects.
Base Address: 0xFFE00000 (Code Label EBI_BASE)

PS: Power-saving
The AT91X40 Series’ Power-saving feature enables optimization of power consumption.
The PS controls the CPU and Peripheral Clocks. One control register (PS_CR) enables
the user to stop the ARM7TDMI Clock and enter Idle Mode. One set of registers with a
set/clear mechanism enables and disables the peripheral clocks individually.
The ARM7TDMI clock is enabled after a reset and is automatically re-enabled by any
enabled interrupt in the Idle Mode.
Peripheral Clocks
The clock of each peripheral integrated in the AT91X40 Series can be individually
enabled and disabled by writing to the Peripheral Clock Enable (PS_PCER) and Peripheral Clock Disable Registers (PS_PCDR). The status of the peripheral clocks can be
read in the Peripheral Clock Status Register (PS_PCSR).
When a peripheral clock is disabled, the clock is immediately stopped. When the clock is
re-enabled, the peripheral resumes action where it left off.
To avoid data corruption or erroneous behavior of the system, the system software only
disables the clock after all programmed peripheral operations have finished.
The peripheral clocks are automatically enabled after a reset.
The bits that control the peripheral clocks are the same as those that control the Interrupt Sources in the AIC.

AIC: Advanced
Interrupt Controller
The AT91X40 Series has an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored interrupt
controller. This feature substantially reduces the software and real-time overhead in
handling internal and external interrupts.
The interrupt controller is connected to the NFIQ (fast interrupt request) and the NIRQ
(standard interrupt request) inputs of the ARM7TDMI processor. The processor’s NFIQ
line can only be asserted by the external fast interrupt request input: FIQ. The NIRQ line
can be asserted by the interrupts generated by the on-chip peripherals and the external
interrupt request lines: IRQ0 to IRQ2.
The 8-level priority encoder allows the customer to define the priority between the different NIRQ interrupt sources.
Internal sources are programmed to be level sensitive or edge triggered. External
sources can be programmed to be positive or negative edge triggered or high- or lowlevel sensitive.
The interrupt sources are listed in Table 8 and the AIC programmable registers in Table
9.

Hardware Interrupt
Vectoring
The hardware interrupt vectoring reduces the number of instructions to reach the interrupt handler to only one. By storing the following instruction at address 0x00000018, the
processor loads the program counter with the interrupt handler address stored in the
AIC_IVR register. Execution is then vectored to the interrupt handler corresponding to
the current interrupt.
ldr PC,[PC,# - &F20]
The current interrupt is the interrupt with the highest priority when the Interrupt Vector
Register (AIC_IVR) is read. The value read in the AIC_IVR corresponds to the address
stored in the Source Vector Register (AIC_SVR) of the current interrupt. Each interrupt
source has its corresponding AIC_SVR. In order to take advantage of the hardware
interrupt vectoring it is necessary to store the address of each interrupt handler in the
corresponding AIC_SVR, at system initialization.
Priority Controller
The NIRQ line is controlled by an 8-level priority encoder. Each source has a programmable priority level of 7 to 0. Level 7 is the highest priority and level 0 the lowest.
When the AIC receives more than one unmasked interrupt at a time, the interrupt with
the highest priority is serviced first. If both interrupts have equal priority, the interrupt
with the lowest interrupt source number (see table 8) is serviced first.
The current priority level is defined as the priority level of the current interrupt at the time
the register AIC_IVR is read (the interrupt which will be serviced).
In the case when a higher priority unmasked interrupt occurs while an interrupt already
exists, there are two possible outcomes depending on whether the AIC_IVR has been
read.
•
If the NIRQ line has been asserted but the AIC_IVR has not been read, then the
processor will read the new higher priority interrupt handler address in the AIC_IVR
register and the current interrupt level is updated.
•
If the processor has already read the AIC_IVR then the NIRQ line is reasserted.
When the processor has authorized nested interrupts to occur and reads the
AIC_IVR again, it reads the new, higher priority interrupt handler address. At the
same time the current priority value is pushed onto a first-in last-out stack and the
current priority is updated to the higher priority.
When the end of interrupt command register (AIC_EOICR) is written the current interrupt level is updated with the last stored interrupt level from the stack (if any). Hence at
the end of a higher priority interrupt, the AIC returns to the previous state corresponding
to the preceding lower priority interrupt which had been interrupted.
Interrupt Handling
The interrupt handler must read the AIC_IVR as soon as possible. This de-asserts the
NIRQ request to the processor and clears the interrupt in case it is programmed to be
edge triggered. This permits the AIC to assert the NIRQ line again when a higher priority
unmasked interrupt occurs.
At the end of the interrupt service routine, the end of interrupt command register
(AIC_EOICR) must be written. This allows pending interrupts to be serviced.
Interrupt Masking
58
Each interrupt source, including FIQ, can be enabled or disabled using the command
registers AIC_IECR and AIC_IDCR. The interrupt mask can be read in the read only
register AIC_IMR. A disabled interrupt does not affect the servicing of other interrupts.
AT91X40 Series
1354D–ATARM–05/02
AT91X40 Series
Interrupt Clearing and
Setting
All interrupt sources which are programmed to be edge triggered (including FIQ) can be
individually set or cleared by respectively writing to the registers AIC_ISCR and
AIC_ICCR. This function of the interrupt controller is available for auto-test or software
debug purposes.
Fast Interrupt Request
The external FIQ line is the only source which can raise a fast interrupt request to the
processor. Therefore, it has no priority controller.
The external FIQ line can be programmed to be positive or negative edge triggered or
high- or low-level sensitive in the AIC_SMR0 register.
The fast interrupt handler address can be stored in the AIC_SVR0 register. The value
written into this register is available by reading the AIC_FVR register when an FIQ interrupt is raised. By storing the following instruction at address 0x0000001C, the processor
will load the program counter with the interrupt handler address stored in the AIC_FVR
register.
ldr PC,[PC,# -&F20]
Alternatively the interrupt handler can be stored starting from address 0x0000001C as
described in the ARM7TDMI datasheet.
Software Interrupt
Interrupt source 1 of the advanced interrupt controller is a software interrupt. It must be
programmed to be edge triggered in order to set or clear it by writing to the AIC_ISCR
and AIC_ICCR.
This is totally independent of the SWI instruction of the ARM7TDMI processor.
Spurious Interrupt
When the AIC asserts the NIRQ line, the ARM7TDMI enters IRQ Mode and the interrupt
handler reads the IVR. It may happen that the AIC de-asserts the NIRQ line after the
core has taken into account the NIRQ assertion and before the read of the IVR.
This behavior is called a Spurious Interrupt.
The AIC is able to detect these Spurious Interrupts and returns the Spurious Vector
when the IVR is read. The Spurious Vector can be programmed by the user when the
vector table is initialized.
A spurious interrupt may occur in the following cases:
•
With any sources programmed to be level sensitive, if the interrupt signal of the AIC
input is de-asserted at the same time as it is taken into account by the ARM7TDMI.
•
If an interrupt is asserted at the same time as the software is disabling the
corresponding source through AIC_IDCR (this can happen due to the pipelining of
the ARM core).
The same mechanism of spurious interrupt occurs if the ARM7TDMI reads the IVR
(application software or ICE) when there is no interrupt pending. This mechanism is also
valid for the FIQ interrupts.
Once the AIC enters the spurious interrupt management, it asserts neither the NIRQ nor
the NFIQ lines to the ARM7TDMI as long as the spurious interrupt is not acknowledged.
Therefore, it is mandatory for the Spurious Interrupt Service Routine to acknowledge the
“spurious” behavior by writing to the AIC_EOICR (End of Interrupt) before returning to
the interrupted software. It also can perform other operation(s), e.g., trace possible
undesirable behavior.
59
1354D–ATARM–05/02
Protect Mode
The Protect Mode permits reading of the Interrupt Vector Register without performing
the associated automatic operations. This is necessary when working with a debug
system.
When a Debug Monitor or an ICE reads the AIC User Interface, the IVR could be read.
This would have the following consequences in Normal Mode.
•
If an enabled interrupt with a higher priority than the current one is pending, it would
be stacked
•
If there is no enabled pending interrupt, the spurious vector would be returned.
In either case, an End of Interrupt command would be necessary to acknowledge and to
restore the context of the AIC. This operation is generally not performed by the debug
system. Hence the debug system would become strongly intrusive, and could cause the
application to enter an undesired state.
This is avoided by using Protect Mode.
The Protect Mode is enabled by setting the AIC bit in the SF Protect Mode Register (see
“SF: Special Function Registers” on page 94).
When Protect Mode is enabled, the AIC performs interrupt stacking only when a write
access is performed on the AIC_IVR. Therefore, the Interrupt Service Routines must
write (arbitrary data) to the AIC_IVR just after reading it.
The new context of the AIC, including the value of the Interrupt Status Register
(AIC_ISR), is updated with the current interrupt only when IVR is written.
An AIC_IVR read on its own (e.g. by a debugger), modifies neither the AIC context nor
the AIC_ISR.
Extra AIC_IVR reads performed in between the read and the write can cause unpredictable results. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to set a breakpoint between
these two actions, nor to stop the software.
The debug system must not write to the AIC_IVR as this would cause undesirable
effects.
The following table shows the main steps of an interrupt and the order in which they are
performed according to the mode:

1. NIRQ de-assertion and automatic interrupt clearing if the source is programmed as
level sensitive.
2. Software that has been written and debugged using Protect Mode will run correctly in
Normal Mode without modification. However, in Normal Mode the AIC_IVR write has
no effect and can be removed to optimize the code.

The End of Interrupt Command Register is used by the interrupt routine to indicate that the interrupt treatment is complete.
Any value can be written because it is only necessary to make a write to this register location to signal the end of interrupt
treatment.

AT91X40 Series
Standard Interrupt
Sequence
It is assumed that:
•
The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR are loaded
with corresponding interrupt service routine addresses and interrupts are enabled.
•
The Instruction at address 0x18(IRQ exception vector address) is
ldr pc, [pc, # - &F20]
When NIRQ is asserted, if the bit I of CPSR is 0, the sequence is:
1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_irq, the current value of the Program Counter is
loaded in the IRQ link register (r14_irq) and the Program Counter (r15) is loaded
with 0x18. In the following cycle during fetch at address 0x1C, the ARM core
adjusts r14_irq, decrementing it by 4.
2. The ARM core enters IRQ Mode, if it is not already.
3. When the instruction loaded at address 0x18 is executed, the Program Counter
is loaded with the value read in AIC_IVR. Reading the AIC_IVR has the following
effects:
–
Set the current interrupt to be the pending one with the highest priority. The
current level is the priority level of the current interrupt.
–
De-assert the NIRQ line on the processor. (Even if vectoring is not used,
AIC_IVR must be read in order to de-assert NIRQ)
–
Automatically clear the interrupt, if it has been programmed to be edge
triggered
–
Push the current level on to the stack
–
Return the value written in the AIC_SVR corresponding to the current
interrupt
4. The previous step has effect to branch to the corresponding interrupt service
routine. This should start by saving the Link Register(r14_irq) and the
SPSR(SPSR_irq). Note that the Link Register must be decremented by 4 when it
is saved, if it is to be restored directly into the Program Counter at the end of the
interrupt.
5. Further interrupts can then be unmasked by clearing the I bit in the CPSR, allowing re-assertion of the NIRQ to be taken into account by the core. This can occur
if an interrupt with a higher priority than the current one occurs.
6. The Interrupt Handler can then proceed as required, saving the registers which
will be used and restoring them at the end. During this phase, an interrupt of priority higher than the current level will restart the sequence from step 1. Note that
if the interrupt is programmed to be level sensitive, the source of the interrupt
must be cleared during this phase.
7. The I bit in the CPSR must be set in order to mask interrupts before exiting, to
ensure that the interrupt is completed in an orderly manner.
8. The End Of Interrupt Command Register (AIC_EOICR) must be written in order
to indicate to the AIC that the current interrupt is finished. This causes the current level to be popped from the stack, restoring the previous current level if one
exists on the stack. If another interrupt is pending, with lower or equal priority
than old current level but with higher priority than the new current level, the NIRQ
line is re-asserted, but the interrupt sequence does not immediately start
because the I bit is set in the core.
9. The SPSR (SPSR_irq) is restored. Finally, the saved value of the Link Register is
restored directly into the PC. This has effect of returning from the interrupt to
whatever was being executed before, and of loading the CPSR with the stored
71
1354D–ATARM–05/02
SPSR, masking or unmasking the interrupts depending on the state saved in the
SPSR (the previous state of the ARM core).
Note:
72
The I bit in the SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was just
about to mask IRQ interrupts when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence, when
the SPSR is restored, the mask instruction is completed (IRQ is masked).

Fast Interrupt Sequence
It is assumed that:
•
The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR[0] is loaded
with fast interrupt service routine address and the fast interrupt is enabled.
•
The Instruction at address 0x1C(FIQ exception vector address) is:
•
ldr pc, [pc, # - &F20].
•
Nested Fast Interrupts are not needed by the user.
When NFIQ is asserted, if the bit F of CPSR is 0, the sequence is:
1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_fiq, the current value of the Program Counter is
loaded in the FIQ link register (r14_fiq) and the Program Counter (r15) is loaded
with 0x1C. In the following cycle, during fetch at address 0x20, the ARM core
adjusts r14_fiq, decrementing it by 4.
2. The ARM core enters FIQ Mode.
3. When the instruction loaded at address 0x1C is executed, the Program Counter
is loaded with the value read in AIC_FVR. Reading the AIC_FVR has effect of
automatically clearing the fast interrupt (source 0 connected to the FIQ line), if it
has been programmed to be edge triggered. In this case only, it de-asserts the
NFIQ line on the processor.
4. The previous step has effect to branch to the corresponding interrupt service
routine. It is not necessary to save the Link Register(r14_fiq) and the
SPSR(SPSR_fiq) if nested fast interrupts are not needed.
5. The Interrupt Handler can then proceed as required. It is not necessary to save
registers r8 to r13 because FIQ Mode has its own dedicated registers and the
user r8 to r13 are banked. The other registers, r0 to r7, must be saved before
being used, and restored at the end (before the next step). Note that if the fast
interrupt is programmed to be level sensitive, the source of the interrupt must be
cleared during this phase in order to de-assert the NFIQ line.
6. Finally, the Link Register (r14_fiq) is restored into the PC after decrementing it by
4 (with instruction sub pc, lr, #4 for example). This has effect of returning from the
interrupt to whatever was being executed before, and of loading the CPSR with
the SPSR, masking or unmasking the fast interrupt depending on the state saved
in the SPSR.
Note:
The F bit in the SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was just
about to mask FIQ interrupts when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence when
the SPSR is restored, the interrupted instruction is completed (FIQ is masked).

1354D–ATARM–05/02
PIO: Parallel I/O
Controller
The AT91X40 Series has 32 programmable I/O lines. Six pins are dedicated as general
purpose I/O pins (P16, P17, P18, P19, P23 and P24). Other I/O lines are multiplexed
with an external signal of a peripheral to optimize the use of available package pins (see
Table 10). The PIO controller also provides an internal interrupt signal to the Advanced
Interrupt Controller.
Multiplexed I/O Lines
Some I/O lines are multiplexed with an I/O signal of a peripheral. After reset, the pin is
generally controlled by the PIO Controller and is in Input Mode. Table 10 indicates which
of these pins are not controlled by the PIO Controller after reset.
When a peripheral signal is not used in an application, the corresponding pin can be
used as a parallel I/O. Each parallel I/O line is bi-directional, whether the peripheral
defines the signal as input or output. Figure 34 shows the multiplexing of the peripheral
signals with Parallel I/O signals.
If a pin is multiplexed between the PIO Controller and a peripheral, the pin is controlled
by the registers PIO_PER (PIO Enable) and PIO_PDR (PIO Disable). The register
PIO_PSR (PIO Status) indicates whether the pin is controlled by the corresponding
peripheral or by the PIO Controller.
If a pin is a general-purpose parallel I/O pin (not multiplexed with a peripheral),
PIO_PER and PIO_PDR have no effect and PIO_PSR returns 1 for the bits corresponding to these pins.
When the PIO is selected, the peripheral input line is connected to zero.
Output Selection
The user can enable each individual I/O signal as an output with the registers PIO_OER
(Output Enable) and PIO_ODR (Output Disable). The output status of the I/O signals
can be read in the register PIO_OSR (Output Status). The direction defined has effect
only if the pin is configured to be controlled by the PIO Controller.
I/O Levels
Each pin can be configured to be driven high or low. The level is defined in four different
ways, according to the following conditions.
If a pin is controlled by the PIO Controller and is defined as an output (see “Output
Selection” above), the level is programmed using the registers PIO_SODR (Set Output
Data) and PIO_CODR (Clear Output Data). In this case, the programmed value can be
read in PIO_ODSR (Output Data Status).
If a pin is controlled by the PIO Controller and is not defined as an output, the level is
determined by the external circuit.
If a pin is not controlled by the PIO Controller, the state of the pin is defined by the
peripheral (see peripheral datasheets).
In all cases, the level on the pin can be read in the register PIO_PDSR (Pin Data
Status).
Filters
74
Optional input glitch filtering is available on each pin of the AT91M40800, the
AT91M40807 and the AT91R40807. Filtering is controlled by the registers PIO_IFER
(Input Filter Enable) and PIO_IFDR (Input Filter Disable). The input glitch filtering can be
selected whether the pin is used for its peripheral function or as a parallel I/O line. The
register PIO_IFSR (Input Filter Status) indicates whether or not the filter is activated for
each pin.
AT91X40 Series
1354D–ATARM–05/02
AT91X40 Series
Interrupts
Each parallel I/O can be programmed to generate an interrupt when a level change
occurs. This is controlled by the PIO_IER (Interrupt Enable) and PIO_IDR (Interrupt Disable) registers which enable/disable the I/O interrupt by setting/clearin g the
corresponding bit in the PIO_IMR. When a change in level occurs, the corresponding bit
in the PIO_ISR (Interrupt Status) is set whether the pin is used as a PIO or a peripheral
and whether it is defined as input or output. If the corresponding interrupt in PIO_IMR
(Interrupt Mask) is enabled, the PIO interrupt is asserted.
When PIO_ISR is read, the register is automatically cleared.
User Interface
Each individual I/O is associated with a bit position in the Parallel I/O user interface registers. Each of these registers are 32 bits wide. If a parallel I/O line is not defined, writing
to the corresponding bits has no effect. Undefined bits read zero.

1. The reset value of this register depends on the level of the external pins at reset.
2. This register is cleared at reset. However, the first read of the register can give a value not equal to zero if any changes have
occurred on any pins between the reset and the read.
3. This register exists in the AT91R40008 but its value has no meaning, since the filters are not implemented.

WD: Watchdog Timer
The AT91X40 Series has an internal watchdog timer which can be used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. In normal operation the user
reloads the watchdog at regular intervals before the timer overflow occurs. If an overflow
does occur, the watchdog timer generates one or a combination of the following signals,
depending on the parameters in WD_OMR (Overflow Mode Register):
•
If RSTEN is set, an internal reset is generated (WD_RESET as shown in Figure 35).
•
If IRQEN is set, a pulse is generated on the signal WDIRQ which is connected to the
Advanced Interrupt Controller
•
If EXTEN is set, a low level is driven on the NWDOVF signal for a duration of 8 MCK
cycles.
The watchdog timer has a 16-bit down counter. Bits 12-15 of the value loaded when the
watchdog is restarted are programmable using the HPVC parameter in WD_CMR
(Clock Mode). Four clock sources are available to the watchdog counter: MCK/8,
MCK/32, MCK/128 or MCK/1024. The selection is made using the WDCLKS parameter
in WD_CMR. This provides a programmable time-out period of 1 ms to 2 sec. with a 33
MHz system clock.
All write accesses are protected by control access keys to help prevent corruption of the
watchdog should an error condition occur. To update the contents of the mode and control registers it is necessary to write the correct bit pattern to the control access key bits
at the same time as the control bits are written (the same write access).

WD Enabling Sequence
To enable the Watchdog Timer the sequence is as follows:
1. Disable the Watchdog by clearing the bit WDEN:
Write 0x2340 to WD_OMR
This step is unnecessary if the WD is already disabled (reset state).
2. Initialize the WD Clock Mode Register:
Write 0x373C to WD_CMR
(HPCV = 15 and WDCLKS = MCK/8)
3. Restart the timer:
Write 0xC071 to WD_CR
4. Enable the watchdog:
Write 0x2345 to WD_OMR (interrupt enabled)

Notes:
1. After a hardware reset, the USART pins are not enabled by default (see “PIO: Parallel I/O Controller” on page 74). The user
must configure the PIO Controller before enabling the transmitter or receiver.
2. If the user selects one of the internal clocks, SCK can be configured as a PIO.

1354D–ATARM–05/02
Baud Rate Generator
The Baud Rate Generator provides the bit period clock (the Baud Rate clock) to both the
Receiver and the Transmitter.
The Baud Rate Generator can select between external and internal clock sources. The
external clock source is SCK. The internal clock sources can be either the master clock
(MCK) or the master clock divided by 8 (MCK/8).
Note:
In all cases, if an external clock is used, the duration of each of its levels must be longer
than the system clock (MCK) period. The external clock frequency must be at least 2.5
times lower than the system clock.
When the USART is programmed to operate in Asynchronous Mode (SYNC = 0 in the
Mode Register US_MR), the selected clock is divided by 16 times the value (CD) written
in US_BRGR (Baud Rate Generator Register). If US_BRGR is set to 0, the Baud Rate
Clock is disabled.

When the USART is programmed to operate in Synchronous Mode (SYNC = 1) and the
selected clock is internal (USCLKS[1] = 0 in the Mode Register US_MR), the Baud Rate
Clock is the internal selected clock divided by the value written in US_BRGR. If
US_BRGR is set to 0, the Baud Rate Clock is disabled.

In Synchronous Mode with external clock selected (USCLKS[1] = 1), the clock is provided directly by the signal on the SCK pin. No division is active. The value written in

AT91X40 Series
Receiver
Asynchronous Receiver
The USART is configured for asynchronous operation when SYNC = 0 (bit 7 of
US_MR). In Asynchronous Mode, the USART detects the start of a received character
by sampling the RXD signal until it detects a valid start bit. A low level (space) on RXD is
interpreted as a valid start bit if it is detected for more than 7 cycles of the sampling
clock, which is 16 times the baud rate. Hence a space which is longer than 7/16 of the
bit period is detected as a valid start bit. A space which is 7/16 of a bit period or shorter
is ignored and the receiver continues to wait for a valid start bit.
When a valid start bit has been detected, the receiver samples the RXD at the theoretical mid-point of each bit. It is assumed that each bit lasts 16 cycles of the sampling clock
(one bit period) so the sampling point is 8 cycles (0.5 bit periods) after the start of the bit.
The first sampling point is therefore 24 cycles (1.5 bit periods) after the falling edge of
the start bit was detected. Each subsequent bit is sampled 16 cycles (1 bit period) after
the previous one.

Synchronous Receiver
When configured for synchronous operation (SYNC = 1), the receiver samples the RXD
signal on each rising edge of the Baud Rate clock. If a low level is detected, it is considered as a start. Data bits, parity bit and stop bit are sampled and the receiver waits for
the next start bit. See example in Figure 40.

Receiver Ready
When a complete character is received, it is transferred to the US_RHR and the RXRDY
status bit in US_CSR is set. If US_RHR has not been read since the last transfer, the
OVRE status bit in US_CSR is set.
Parity Error
Each time a character is received, the receiver calculates the parity of the received data
bits, in accordance with the field PAR in US_MR. It then compares the result with the
received parity bit. If different, the parity error bit PARE in US_CSR is set.
Framing Error
If a character is received with a stop bit at low level and with at least one data bit at high
level, a framing error is generated. This sets FRAME in US_CSR.
Time-out
This function allows an idle condition on the RXD line to be detected. The maximum
delay for which the USART should wait for a new character to arrive while the RXD line
is inactive (high level) is programmed in US_RTOR (Receiver Time-out). When this register is set to 0, no time-out is detected. Otherwise, the receiver waits for a first character
and then initializes a counter which is decremented at each bit period and reloaded at
each byte reception. When the counter reaches 0, the TIMEOUT bit in US_CSR is set.
The user can restart the wait for a first character with the STTTO (Start Time-out) bit in
US_CR.

Transmitter
The transmitter has the same behavior in both synchronous and asynchronous operating modes. Start bit, data bits, parity bit and stop bits are serially shifted, lowest
significant bit first, on the falling edge of the serial clock. See example in Figure 41.
The number of data bits is selected in the CHRL field in US_MR.
The parity bit is set according to the PAR field in US_MR.
The number of stop bits is selected in the NBSTOP field in US_MR.
When a character is written to US_THR (Transmit Holding), it is transferred to the Shift
Register as soon as it is empty. When the transfer occurs, the TXRDY bit in US_CSR is
set until a new character is written to US_THR. If Transmit Shift Register and US_THR
are both empty, the TXEMPTY bit in US_CSR is set.
Time-guard
The Time-guard function allows the transmitter to insert an idle state on the TXD line
between two characters. The duration of the idle state is programmed in US_TTGR
(Transmitter Time-guard). When this register is set to zero, no time-guard is generated.
Otherwise, the transmitter holds a high level on TXD after each transmitted byte during
the number of bit periods programmed in US_TTGR

Period
When the field PAR in US_MR equals 11X (binary value), the USART is configured to
run in Multi-drop Mode. In this case, the parity error bit PARE in US_CSR is set when
data is detected with a parity bit set to identify an address byte. PARE is cleared with the
Reset Status Bits Command (RSTSTA) in US_CR. If the parity bit is detected low, identifying a data byte, PARE is not set.
The transmitter sends an address byte (parity bit set) when a Send Address Command
(SENDA) is written to US_CR. In this case, the next byte written to US_THR will be
transmitted as an address. After this any byte transmitted will have the parity bit cleared.

Break
A break condition is a low signal level which has a duration of at least one character
(including start/stop bits and parity).
Transmit Break
The transmitter generates a break condition on the TXD line when STTBRK is set in
US_CR (Control Register). In this case, the character present in the Transmit Shift Register is completed before the line is held low.
To cancel a break condition on the TXD line, the STPBRK command in US_CR must be
set. The USART completes a minimum break duration of one character length. The TXD
line then returns to high level (idle state) for at least 12 bit periods to ensure that the end
of break is correctly detected. Then the transmitter resumes normal operation.
The BREAK is managed like a character:
•
The STTBRK and the STPBRK commands are performed only if the transmitter is
ready (bit TXRDY = 1 in US_CSR)
•
The STTBRK command blocks the transmitter holding register (bit TXRDY is
cleared in US_CSR) until the break has started
•
A break is started when the Shift Register is empty (any previous character is fully
transmitted). TXEMPTY is cleared in US_CSR. The break blocks the transmitter
shift register until it is completed (high level for at least 12-bit periods after the
STPBRK command is requested)
In order to avoid unpredictable states:
•
STTBRK and STPBRK commands must not be requested at the same time
•
Once an STTBRK command is requested, further STTBRK commands are ignored
until the BREAK is ended (high level for at least 12-bit periods)
•
All STPBRK commands requested without a previous STTBRK command are
ignored
•
A byte written into the Transmit Holding Register while a break is pending but not
started (US_CSR.TXRDY = 0) is ignored
•
It is not permitted to write new data in the Transmit Holding Register while a break is
in progress (STPBRK has not been requested), even though TXRDY = 1 in
US_CSR.
•
A new STTBRK command must not be issued until an existing break has ended
(TXEMPTY = 1 in US_CSR)
The standard break transmission sequence is:
1. Wait for the transmitter ready
(US_CSR.TXRDY = 1)
2. Send the STTBRK command
(write 0x0200 to US_CR)
3. Wait for the transmitter ready
(TXRDY = 1 in US_CSR)
4. Send the STPBRK command
(write 0x0400 to US_CR)
The next byte can then be sent:
5. Wait for the transmitter ready
(TXRDY = 1 in US_CSR)
6. Send the next byte
(write byte to US_THR)
104
AT91X40 Series
1354D–ATARM–05/02
AT91X40 Series
Each of these steps can be scheduled by using the interrupt if the bit TXRDY in US_IMR
is set. For character transmission, the USART channel must be enabled before sending
a break.
Receive Break
The receiver detects a break condition when all data, parity and stop bits are low. When
the low stop bit is detected, the receiver asserts the RXBRK bit in US_CSR. An end of
receive break is detected by a high level for at least 2/16 of a bit period in Asynchronous
Mode or at least one sample in Synchronous Mode. RXBRK is also asserted when an
end of break is detected.
Both the beginning and the end of a break can be detected by interrupt if the bit
US_IMR.RXBRK is set.
Peripheral Data
Controller
Each USART channel is closely connected to a corresponding Peripheral Data Controller channel. One is dedicated to the receiver. The other is dedicated to the transmitter.
Note:
The PDC is disabled if 9-bit character length is selected (MODE9 = 1) in US_MR.
The PDC channel is programmed using US_TPR (Transmit Pointer) and US_TCR
(Transmit Counter) for the transmitter and US_RPR (Receive Pointer) and US_RCR
(Receive Counter) for the receiver. The status of the PDC is given in US_CSR by the
ENDTX bit for the transmitter and by the ENDRX bit for the receiver.
The pointer registers (US_TPR and US_RPR) are used to store the address of the
transmit or receive buffers. The counter registers (US_TCR and US_RCR) are used to
store the size of these buffers.
The receiver data transfer is triggered by the RXRDY bit and the transmitter data transfer is triggered by TXRDY. When a transfer is performed, the counter is decremented
and the pointer is incremented. When the counter reaches 0, the status bit is set
(ENDRX for the receiver, ENDTX for the transmitter in US_CSR) which can be programmed to generate an interrupt. Transfers are then disabled until a new non-zero
counter value is programmed.
Interrupt Generation
Each status bit in US_CSR has a corresponding bit in US_IER (Interrupt Enable) and
US_IDR (Interrupt Disable) which controls the generation of interrupts by asserting the
USART interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller. US_IMR (Interrupt
Mask Register) indicates the status of the corresponding bits.
When a bit is set in US_CSR and the same bit is set in US_IMR, the interrupt line is
asserted.
Channel Modes
The USART can be programmed to operate in three different test modes, using the field
CHMODE in US_MR.
Automatic Echo Mode allows bit by bit re-transmission. When a bit is received on the
RXD line, it is sent to the TXD line. Programming the transmitter has no effect.
Local Loopback Mode allows the transmitted characters to be received. TXD and RXD
pins are not used and the output of the transmitter is internally connected to the input of
the receiver. The RXD pin level has no effect and the TXD pin is held high, as in idle
state.
Remote Loopback Mode directly connects the RXD pin to the TXD pin. The Transmitter
and the Receiver are disabled and have no effect. This mode allows bit by bit retransmission.

TC: Timer Counter
The AT91X40 Series features a Timer Counter block which includes three identical 16bit timer counter channels. Each channel can be independently programmed to perform
a wide range of functions including frequency measurement, event counting, interval
measurement, pulse generation, delay timing and pulse width modulation.
Each Timer Counter channel has 3 external clock inputs, 5 internal clock inputs, and 2
multi-purpose input/output signals which can be configured by the user. Each channel
drives an internal interrupt signal which can be programmed to generate processor
interrupts via the AIC (Advanced Interrupt Controller).
The Timer Counter block has two global registers which act upon all three TC channels.
The Block Control Register allows the three channels to be started simultaneously with
the same instruction. The Block Mode Register defines the external clock inputs for
each Timer Counter channel, allowing them to be chained.

After a hardware reset, the Timer Counter block pins are controlled by the PIO Controller. They must be configured to be controlled by the peripheral before being used.
Timer Counter
Description
The three Timer Counter channels are independent and identical in operation. The registers for channel programming are listed in Table 17.
Counter
Each Timer Counter channel is organized around a 16-bit counter. The value of the
counter is incremented at each positive edge of the selected clock. When the counter
has reached the value 0xFFFF and passes to 0x0000, an overflow occurs and the bit
COVFS in TC_SR (Status Register) is set.
The current value of the counter is accessible in real-time by reading TC_CV. The
counter can be reset by a trigger. In this case, the counter value passes to 0x0000 on
the next valid edge of the selected clock.
Clock Selection
At block level, input clock signals of each channel can either be connected to the external inputs TCLK0, TCLK1 or TCLK2, or be connected to the configurable I/O signals
TIOA0, TIOA1 or TIOA2 for chaining by programming the TC_BMR (Block Mode).
Each channel can independently select an internal or external clock source for its
counter:
•
Internal clock signals: MCK/2, MCK/8, MCK/32,
MCK/128, MCK/1024
•
External clock signals: XC0, XC1 or XC2
123
1354D–ATARM–05/02
The selected clock can be inverted with the CLKI bit in TC_CMR (Channel Mode). This
allows counting on the opposite edges of the clock.
The burst function allows the clock to be validated when an external signal is high. The
BURST parameter in the Mode Register defines this signal (none, XC0, XC1, XC2).
Note:
In all cases, if an external clock is used, the duration of each of its levels must be longer
than the system clock (MCK) period. The external clock frequency must be at least 2.5
times lower than the system clock (MCK).

Clock Control
124
The clock of each counter can be controlled in two different ways: it can be enabled/disabled and started/stopped.
•
The clock can be enabled or disabled by the user with the CLKEN and the CLKDIS
commands in the Control Register. In Capture Mode it can be disabled by an RB
load event if LDBDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. In Waveform Mode, it can be disabled
by an RC Compare event if CPCDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. When disabled, the
start or the stop actions have no effect: only a CLKEN command in the Control
Register can re-enable the clock. When the clock is enabled, the CLKSTA bit is set
in the Status Register.
•
The clock can also be started or stopped: a trigger (software, synchro, external or
compare) always starts the clock. The clock can be stopped by an RB load event in
Capture Mode (LDBSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) or a RC compare event in Waveform
Mode (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR). The start and the stop commands have effect
only if the clock is enabled.

Event
Each Timer Counter channel can independently operate in two different modes:
•
Capture Mode allows measurement on signals
•
Waveform Mode allows wave generation
The Timer Counter Operating Mode is programmed with the WAVE bit in the TC Mode
Register. In Capture Mode, TIOA and TIOB are configured as inputs. In Waveform
Mode, TIOA is always configured to be an output and TIOB is an output if it is not
selected to be the external trigger.
Trigger
A trigger resets the counter and starts the counter clock. Three types of triggers are
common to both modes, and a fourth external trigger is available to each mode.
The following triggers are common to both modes:
•
Software Trigger: Each channel has a software trigger, available by setting SWTRG
in TC_CCR.
•
SYNC: Each channel has a synchronization signal SYNC. When asserted, this
signal has the same effect as a software trigger. The SYNC signals of all channels
are asserted simultaneously by writing TC_BCR (Block Control) with SYNC set.
•
Compare RC Trigger: RC is implemented in each channel and can provide a trigger
when the counter value matches the RC value if CPCTRG is set in TC_CMR.
The Timer Counter channel can also be configured to have an external trigger. In Capture Mode, the external trigger signal can be selected between TIOA and TIOB. In
Waveform Mode, an external event can be programmed on one of the following signals:
TIOB, XC0, XC1 or XC2. This external event can then be programmed to perform a trigger by setting ENETRG in TC_CMR.
If an external trigger is used, the duration of the pulses must be longer than the system
clock (MCK) period in order to be detected.
Whatever the trigger used, it will be taken into account at the following active edge of the
selected clock. This means that the counter value may not read zero just after a trigger,
especially when a low frequency signal is selected as the clock.
125
1354D–ATARM–05/02
Capture Operating Mode
This mode is entered by clearing the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode
Register). Capture Mode allows the TC Channel to perform measurements such as
pulse timing, frequency, period, duty cycle and phase on TIOA and TIOB signals which
are inputs.
Figure 46 shows the configuration of the TC Channel when programmed in Capture
Mode.
Capture Registers A and B
(RA and RB)
Registers A and B are used as capture registers. This means that they can be loaded
with the counter value when a programmable event occurs on the signal TIOA.
The parameter LDRA in TC_CMR defines the TIOA edge for the loading of register A,
and the parameter LDRB defines the TIOA edge for the loading of Register B.
RA is loaded only if it has not been loaded since the last trigger or if RB has been loaded
since the last loading of RA.
RB is loaded only if RA has been loaded since the last trigger or the last loading of RB.
Loading RA or RB before the read of the last value loaded sets the Overrun Error Flag
(LOVRS) in TC_SR (Status Register). In this case, the old value is overwritten.
Trigger Conditions
In addition to the SYNC signal, the software trigger and the RC compare trigger, an
external trigger can be defined.
Bit ABETRG in TC_CMR selects input signal TIOA or TIOB as an external trigger.
Parameter ETRGEDG defines the edge (rising, falling or both) detected to generate an
external trigger. If ETRGEDG = 0 (none), the external trigger is disabled.
Status Register
The following bits in the status register are significant in Capture Operating Mode.
•
CPCS: RC Compare Status
There has been an RC Compare match at least once since the last read of the
status
•
COVFS: Counter Overflow Status
The counter has attempted to count past $FFFF since the last read of the status
•
LOVRS: Load Overrun Status
RA or RB has been loaded at least twice without any read of the corresponding register, since the last read of the status
•
LDRAS: Load RA Status
RA has been loaded at least once without any read, since the last read of the status
•
LDRBS: Load RB Status
RB has been loaded at least once without any read, since the last read of the status
•
ETRGS: External Trigger Status
An external trigger on TIOA or TIOB has been detected since the last read of the
status
Note:
126
All the status bits are set when the corresponding event occurs and they are automatically cleared when the Status Register is read.

Waveform Operating
Mode
This mode is entered by setting the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode
Register).
Waveform Operating Mode allows the TC Channel to generate 1 or 2 PWM signals with
the same frequency and independently programmable duty cycles, or to generate different types of one-shot or repetitive pulses.
In this mode, TIOA is configured as output and TIOB is defined as output if it is not used
as an external event (EEVT parameter in TC_CMR).
Figure 47 shows the configuration of the TC Channel when programmed in Waveform
Operating Mode.
Compare Register A, B and C
(RA, RB, and RC)
In Waveform Operating Mode, RA, RB and RC are all used as compare registers.
RA Compare is used to control the TIOA output. RB Compare is used to control the
TIOB (if configured as output). RC Compare can be programmed to control TIOA and/or
TIOB outputs.
RC Compare can also stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) and/or disable the counter clock (CPCDIS = 1 in TC_CMR).
As in Capture Mode, RC Compare can also generate a trigger if CPCTRG = 1. A trigger
resets the counter so RC can control the period of PWM waveforms.
External Event/Trigger Conditions
An external event can be programmed to be detected on one of the clock sources (XC0,
XC1, XC2) or TIOB. The external event selected can then be used as a trigger.
The parameter EEVT in TC_CMR selects the external trigger. The parameter EEVTEDG defines the trigger edge for each of the possible external triggers (rising, falling or
both). If EEVTEDG is cleared (none), no external event is defined.
If TIOB is defined as an external event signal (EEVT = 0), TIOB is no longer used as
output and the TC channel can only generate a waveform on TIOA.
When an external event is defined, it can be used as a trigger by setting bit ENETRG in
TC_CMR.
As in Capture Mode, the SYNC signal, the software trigger and the RC compare trigger
are also available as triggers.

Output Controller
The output controller defines the output level changes on TIOA and TIOB following an
event. TIOB control is used only if TIOB is defined as output (not as an external event).
The following events control TIOA and TIOB: software trigger, external event and RC
compare. RA compare controls TIOA and RB compare controls TIOB. Each of these
events can be programmed to set, clear or toggle the output as defined in the corresponding parameter in TC_CMR.
The tables below show which parameter in TC_CMR is used to define the effect of each
event.
