AT91M55800A
1. Description
The AT91M55800A is a member 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.
Rev. 1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
The fully programmable External Bus Interface provides a direct connection to off-chip memory in as fast as one clock
cycle for a read or write operation. An eight-level priority vectored interrupt controller in conjunction with the peripheral data
controller significantly improve the real-time performance of the device.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density CMOS technology. By combining the ARM7TDMI processor core
with an on-chip SRAM, a wide range of peripheral functions, analog interfaces and low-power oscillators on a monolithic
chip, the Atmel AT91M55800A is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to
many ultra low-power applications.

5. Architectural Overview
The AT91M55800A microcontroller integrates an ARM7TDMI with its EmbeddedICE interface,
memories and peripherals. Its 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 onchip 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 AT91M55800A microcontroller implements the ICE port of the ARM7TDMI processor on
dedicated pins, offering a complete, low cost and easy-to-use debug solution for target
debugging.
5.1
Memory
The AT91M55800A microcontroller embeds 8K bytes of internal SRAM. The internal memory is
directly connected to the 32-bit data bus and is single-cycle accessible.
The AT91M55800A microcontroller features 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.
5.2
Peripherals
The AT91M55800A microcontroller integrates 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, 8-channel Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) transfers data between the on-chip
USARTs/SPI and the on and off-chip memories without processor intervention. One PDC channel is connected to the receiving channel and one to the transmitting channel of each USART
and of the SPI.
Most importantly, the PDC removes the processor interrupt handling overhead and significantly
reduces the number of clock cycles required for a data transfer. It can transfer up to 64K contiguous bytes. As a result, the performance of the microcontroller is increased and the power
consumption reduced.
5.2.1
System Peripherals
The External Bus Interface (EBI) controls the external memory and peripheral devices via an 8or 16-bit data bus and is programmed through the APB. Each chip select line has its own programming register.
The Advanced Power Management Controller (APMC) optimizes power consumption of the
product by controlling the clocking elements such as the oscillators and the PLL, system and
user peripheral clocks, and the power supplies.
The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) controls the internal interrupt sources from the internal
peripherals and the eight 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.

1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
The Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral is designed for very low power consumption, and combines a complete time-of-day clock with alarm and a two-hundred year Gregorian calendar,
complemented by a programmable periodic interrupt.
The Parallel Input/Output Controllers (PIOA and PIOB) control the 58 I/O lines. They enable the
user to select specific pins for on-chip peripheral input/output functions, and general-purpose
input/output signal pins. The PIO controllers can be programmed to detect an interrupt on a signal change from each line.
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 and Reset Status registers.
5.2.2
User Peripherals
Three 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 six 16-bit Timer/Counters (TC) are highly programmable and support 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. Each TC also has three external clock
signals.
The SPI provides communication with external devices in master or slave mode. It has four
external chip selects which can be connected to up to 15 devices. The data length is programmable, from 8- to 16-bits.
The two identical 4-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are based on a Successive
Approximation Register (SAR) approach.

7. Product Overview
7.1
Power Supplies
The AT91M55800A has 5 kinds of power supply pins:
• VDDCORE pins, which power the chip core
• VDDIO pins, which power the I/O Lines
• VDDPLL pins, which power the oscillator and PLL cells
• VDDA pins, which power the analog peripherals ADC and DAC
• VDDBU pins, which power the RTC, the 32768 Hz oscillator and the Shut-down Logic of the
APMC
VDDIO and VDDCORE are separated to permit the I/O lines to be powered with 5V, thus resulting in full TTL compliance.
The following ground pins are provided:
• GND for both VDDCORE and VDDIO
• GNDPLL for VDDPLL
• GNDA for VDDA
• GNDBU for VDDBU
All of these ground pins must be connected to the same voltage (generally the board electric
ground) with wires as short as possible. GNDPLL, GNDA and GNDBU are provided separately
in order to allow the user to add a decoupling capacitor directly between the power and ground
pads. In the same way, the PLL filter resistor and capacitors must be connected to the device
and to GNDBU with wires as short as possible. Also, the main oscillator crystal and the 32768
Hz crystal external load capacitances must be connected respectively to GNDPLL and to
GNDBU with wires as short as possible.
The main constraints applying to the different voltages of the device are:
• VDDBU must be lower than or equal to VDDCORE
• VDDA must be higher than or equal to VDDCORE
• VDDCORE must be lower than or equal to VDDIO
The nominal power combinations supported by the AT91M55800A are described in the following
table:

Input/Output Considerations
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 AT91M55800A
microcontroller be held at valid logic levels to minimize the power consumption.
13
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
7.3
Master Clock
Master Clock is generated in one of the following ways, depending on programming in the
APMC registers:
• From the 32768 Hz low-power oscillator that clocks the RTC
• The on-chip main oscillator together with a PLL generate a software-programmable main
clock in the 500 Hz to 33 MHz range. The main oscillator can be bypassed to allow the user
to enter an external clock signal.
The Master Clock (MCK) is also provided as an output of the device on the pin MCKO, whose
state is controlled by the APMC module.
7.4
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. Aside from the program counter, the ARM7TDMI registers do not have defined reset
states.
7.4.1
NRST Pin
NRST is active low-level input. It is asserted asynchronously, but exit from reset is synchronized
internally to the MCK. At reset, the source of MCK is the Slow Clock (32768 Hz crystal), and 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.
7.4.2
NTRST Pin
Test Access Port (TAP) reset functionality is provided through the NTRST signal.
The NTRST control pin initializes the selected TAP controller. The TAP controller involved in this
reset is determined according to the initial logical state applied on the JTAGSEL pin after the last
valid NRST.
In either Boundary Scan or ICE Mode a reset can be performed from the same or different circuitry, as shown in Figure 7-1 below. But in all cases, the NTRST like the NRST signal, must be
asserted after each power-up. (See the AT91M55800A electrical datasheet, Atmel lit° 1727, for
the necessary minimum pulse assertion time.)

In order to benefit the most regarding the separation of NRST and NTRST during the Debug
phase of development, the user must independently manage both signals as shown in example
(1) of Figure 7-1 above. However, once Debug is completed, both signals are easily managed
together during production as shown in example (2) of Figure 7-1 above.
7.4.3
7.5
7.5.1
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 Functions
Tri-state Mode
The AT91M55800A 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 AT91M55800A
microcontroller are disabled.
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 PA18 and USART 1 serial data transmit line TXD1.
Standard RS232 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.
7.5.2
JTAG/ICE Debug Mode
ARM Standard Embedded In-Circuit Emulation is supported via the JTAG/ICE port. It is connected to a host computer via an external ICE Interface. The JTAG/ICE debug mode is enabled
when JTAGSEL is low.
In ICE Debug Mode the ARM Core responds with a non-JTAG chip ID which identifies the core
to the ICE system. This is not JTAG compliant.
7.5.3
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary-scan
JTAG Boundary-scan is enabled when JTAGSEL is high. The functions SAMPLE, EXTEST and
BYPASS are implemented. There is no JTAG chip ID. The Special Function module provides a
chip ID which is independent of JTAG.
It is not possible to switch directly between JTAG and ICE operations. A chip reset must be performed (NRST and NTRST) after JTAGSEL is changed.
7.6
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
15
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
In any of these address spaces, the ARM7TDMI operates in Little-Endian mode only.
7.6.1
Internal Memories
The AT91M55800A microcontroller integrates an 8-Kbyte SRAM bank. This memory bank is
mapped at address 0x0 (after the remap command), allowing ARM7TDMI exception vectors
between 0x0 and 0x20 to be modified by the software. The rest of the bank can be used for
stack allocation (to speed up context saving and restoring), or as data and program storage for
critical algorithms. All internal memory is 32 bits wide and single-clock cycle accessible. Byte (8bit), half-word (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.
7.6.2
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
nonvolatile 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 (see Table 7-2).
The pin BMS is multiplexed with the I/O line PB18 that can be programmed after reset like any
standard PIO line.
Table 7-2.

7.6.3
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 AT91M55800A microcontroller uses a remap
command that enables switching between the boot memory and the internal RAM 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.
7.6.4
Abort Control
The abort signal providing a Data Abort or a Prefetch Abort exception to the ARM7TDMI is
asserted when accessing an undefined address in the EBI address space.
No abort is generated when reading the internal memory or by accessing the internal peripherals, whether the address is defined or not.

7.7
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 configure up
to eight 16-Mbyte banks. In all cases it supports byte, half-word and word aligned accesses.
For each of these banks, the user can program:
• Number of wait states
• Number of data float times (wait time after the access is finished to prevent any bus
contention in case the device is too long in releasing the bus)
• Data bus width (8-bit or 16-bit)
• With a 16-bit wide data bus, the user can program the EBI to control one 16-bit device (Byte
Access Select Mode) or two 8-bit devices in parallel that emulate a 16-bit memory (Byte-write
Access mode).
The External Bus Interface features also the Early Read Protocol, configurable for all the
devices, that significantly reduces access time requirements on an external device.
17
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
8. Peripherals
The AT91M55800A 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).
8.1
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 Register – 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 – 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.
8.2
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 non-interruptible single
instruction. This eliminates the need for interrupt masking at the AIC or Core level in real-time
and multi-tasking systems.
8.3
Peripheral Data Controller
An on-chip, 8-channel Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) transfers data between the on-chip
USARTs/SPI and the on and off-chip memories without processor intervention. One PDC channel is connected to the receiving channel and one to the transmitting channel of each USART
and SPI.
The user interface of a PDC channel is integrated in the memory space of each peripheral. It
contains a 32-bit address pointer register and a 16-bit count register. When the programmed
data is transferred, an end of transfer interrupt is generated by the corresponding peripheral.
18
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
Most importantly, the PDC removes the processor interrupt handling overhead and significantly
reduces the number of clock cycles required for a data transfer. It can transfer up to 64K contiguous bytes. As a result, the performance of the microcontroller is increased and the power
consumption reduced.
8.4
8.4.1
System Peripherals
APMC: Advanced Power Management Controller
The AT91M55800A Advanced Power Management Controller allows optimization of power consumption. The APMC enables/disables the clock inputs of most of the peripherals and the ARM
Core. Moreover, the main oscillator, the PLL and the analog peripherals can be put in standby
mode allowing minimum power consumption to be obtained. The APMC provides the following
operating modes:
• Normal: clock generator provides clock to the entire chip except the RTC.
• Wait mode: ARM Core clock deactivated
• Slow Clock mode: clock generator deactivated, master clock 32 kHz
• Standby mode: RTC active, all other clocks disabled
• Power down: RTC active, supply on the rest of the circuit deactivated
8.4.2
RTC: Real-time Clock
The AT91M55800A features a Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral that is designed for very low
power consumption. It combines a complete time-of-day clock with alarm and a two-hundred
year Gregorian calendar, complemented by a programmable periodic interrupt.
The time and calendar values are coded in Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) format. The time format can be 24-hour mode or 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.
Updating time and calendar fields and configuring the alarm fields is performed by a parallel capture on the 32-bit data bus. An entry control is performed to avoid loading registers with
incompatible BCD format data or with an incompatible date according to the current month/
year/century.
8.4.3
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 six external interrupt request lines (IRQ0 - IRQ5)
• The interrupt signals from the on-chip peripherals.
The AIC is largely 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.
8.4.4
PIO: Parallel I/O Controller
The AT91M55800A has 58 programmable I/O lines. 13 pins are dedicated as general-purpose
I/O pins. The other I/O lines are multiplexed with an external signal of a peripheral to optimize
the use of available package pins. The PIO lines are controlled by two separate and identical
19
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
PIO Controllers called PIOA and PIOB. The PIO controller enables the generation of an interrupt
on input change and insertion of a simple input glitch filter on any of the PIO pins.
8.4.5
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.
8.4.6
SF: Special Function
The AT91M55800A provides registers which implement the following special functions.
• Chip identification
• RESET status
8.5
8.5.1
User Peripherals
USART: Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
The AT91M55800A provides three identical, full-duplex, universal synchronous/asynchronous
receiver/transmitters.
Each USART has its own baud rate generator, and two dedicated Peripheral Data Controller
channels. The data format includes a start bit, up to 8 data bits, an optional programmable parity
bit and up to 2 stop bits.
The USART also features a Receiver Timeout register, facilitating variable-length frame support
when it is working with the PDC, and a Time-guard register, used when interfacing with slow
remote equipment.
8.5.2
TC: Timer Counter
The AT91M55800A features two Timer Counter blocks that include three identical 16-bit timer
counter channels. Each channel can be independently programmed to perform a wide range of
functions including frequency measurement, event counting, interval measurement, pulse generation, delay timing and pulse-width modulation.
The Timer Counters can be used in Capture or Waveform mode, and all three counter channels
can be started simultaneously and chained together.
8.5.3
SPI: Serial Peripheral Interface
The SPI provides communication with external devices in master or slave mode. It has four
external chip selects that can be connected to up to 15 devices. The data length is programmable, from 8- to 16-bit.
8.5.4
ADC: Analog-to-digital Converter
The two identical 4-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are based on a Successive
Approximation Register (SAR) approach.
Each ADC has 4 analog input pins, AD0 to AD3 and AD4 to AD7, digital trigger input pins
AD0TRIG and AD1TRIG, and provides an interrupt signal to the AIC. Both ADCs share the analog power supply pins VDDA and GNDA, and the input reference voltage pin ADVREF.
20
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
Each channel can be enabled or disabled independently, and has its own data register. The
ADC can be configured to automatically enter Sleep mode after a conversion sequence, and can
be triggered by the software, the Timer Counter, or an external signal.
8.5.5
DAC: Digital-to-analog Converter
Each DAC has an analog output pin, DA0 and DA1, and provides an interrupt signal to the AIC
DA0IRQ and DA1IRQ. Both DACs share the analog power supply pins VDDA and GNDA, and
the input reference DAVREF.

11. 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 128M bytes. It has eight chip
selects and a 24-bit address bus.
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
• 8 active-low 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 48.

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 11-1.)
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 0x0000 000C and 0x0000 0010. 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).

Data Bus Width
A data bus width of 8 or 16 bits can be selected for each chip select. This option is controlled by
the DBW field in the EBI_CSR (Chip-select Register) for the corresponding chip select.

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 11-4 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 8bit 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 nonvolatile memory interface, any value 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.

1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
11.6
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:
11.6.1
In the following waveforms and descriptions, NRD represents NRD and NOE since the two signals
have the same waveform. Likewise, NWE represents NWE, NWR0 and NWR1 unless NWR0 and
NWR1 are otherwise represented. ADDR represents A0 - A23 and/or A1 - A23.
Standard Read Protocol
Standard read protocol implements a read cycle in which NRD and NWE are similar. Both are
active during the second half of the clock cycle. The first half of the clock cycle allows time to
ensure completion of the previous access as well as the output of address and NCS before the
read cycle begins.
During a standard read protocol, external memory access, NCS is set low and ADDR is valid at
the beginning of the access while NRD goes low only in the second half of the master clock
cycle to avoid bus conflict (see Figure 11-7). NWE is the same in both protocols. NWE always
goes low in the second half of the master clock cycle (see Figure 11-8).

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.

11.6.3
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 11-9). 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.

11.7
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 the figure below.
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.

MCK

Data output
In early read protocol the data can remain valid longer than in standard read protocol due to the
additional wait cycle which follows a write access.

Wait States
The EBI can automatically insert wait states. The different types of wait states are listed below:
• Standard wait states
• Data float wait states
• External wait states
• Chip select change wait states
• Early read wait states (as described in Read Protocols)
11.8.1
Standard Wait States
Each chip select can be programmed to insert one or more wait states during an access on the
corresponding device. This is done by setting the WSE field in the corresponding EBI_CSR. The
number of cycles to insert is programmed in the NWS field in the same register.
Below is the correspondence between the number of standard wait states programmed and the
number of cycles during which the NWE pulse is held low:
0 wait states
1/2 cycle
1 wait state
1 cycle
For each additional wait state programmed, an additional cycle is added.

11.8.2
Data Float Wait State
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.
33
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
Data float wait states do not delay internal memory accesses. Hence, a single access to an
external memory with long t DF 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.

11.8.3
External Wait
The NWAIT input can be used to add wait states at any time. NWAIT is active low and is
detected on the rising edge of the clock.
If NWAIT is low at the rising edge of the clock, the EBI adds a wait state and changes neither the
output signals nor its internal counters and state. When NWAIT is de-asserted, the EBI finishes
the access sequence.
The NWAIT signal must meet setup and hold requirements on the rising edge of the clock.

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

11.10 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 Section 11.5 “Boot on NCS0” on page 29) 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.

12. APMC: Advanced Power Management Controller
The AT91M55800A features an Advanced Power Management Controller, which optimizes both
the power consumption of the device and the complete system. The APMC controls the clocking
elements such as the oscillators and the PLL, the core and the peripheral clocks, and has the
capability to control the system power supply.
Main Power is used throughout this document to identify the voltages powering the
AT91M55800A and other components of the system, with the exception of the Battery Backup
voltage, which is applied to the VDDBU. Main Power supplies VDDIO, VDDCORE and, if
required, the analog voltage VDDA. A battery or battery capacitor generally supplies the Battery
Backup Power.
The APMC consists of the following elements:
• The RTC Oscillator, which provides the Slow Clock at 32768 Hz.
• The Main Oscillator, which provides a clock that depends on the frequency of the crystal
connected to the XIN and XOUT pins.
• The Phase Lock Loop.
• The ARM Core Clock Controller, which allows entry to the Idle Mode.
• The Peripheral Clock Controller, which conserves the power consumption of unused
peripherals.
• The Master Clock Output Controller.
• The Shut-down Logic, which controls the Main Power.

12.1
Operating Modes
Five operating modes are supported by the APMC and offer different power consumption levels
and event response latency times.
• Normal Mode:
The Main Power supply is switched on; the ARM Core Clock is enabled and the peripheral
clocks are enabled according to the application requirements.
• Idle Mode:
The Main Power is switched on; the ARM Core Clock is disabled and waiting for the next
interrupt (or a main reset); the peripheral clocks are enabled according to the application
requirements and the PDC transfers are still possible.
• Slow Clock Mode:
Similar to Normal Mode, but the Main Oscillator and the PLL are switched off to save power;
the device core and peripheral run in Slow Clock Mode; Note that Slow Clock Mode is the
mode selected after the reset.
• Standby Mode:
A combination of the Slow Clock Mode and the Idle Mode, which enables the processor to
respond quickly to a wake-up event by keeping very low power consumption.
• Power-down Mode:
The Main Power supply is turned off at the external power source until a programmable
edge on the wake-up signal or a programmable RTC Alarm occurs.

12.2
Slow Clock Generator
The AT91M55800A has a very low power 32 kHz oscillator powered by the backup battery voltage supplied on the VDDBU pins. The XIN32 and XOUT32 pins must be connected to a 32768
Hz crystal. The oscillator has been especially designed to connect to a 6 pF typical load capacitance crystal and does not require any external capacitor, as it integrates the XIN32 and
XOUT32 capacitors to ground. For a higher typical load capacitance, two external capacitances
must be wired as shown in Figure 12-3:
Figure 12-3. Higher Typical Load Capacitance
XIN32
CL1
12.2.1
XOUT32
GNDPLL
CL2
Backup Reset Controller
The backup reset controller initializes the logic supplied by the backup battery power. A simple
RC circuit connected to the NRSTBU pin provides a power-on reset signal to the RTC and the
shutdown logic. When the reset signal increases and as the startup time of the 32 kHz oscillator
is around 300 ms, the AT91M55800A maintains the internal backup reset signal for 32768 oscillator clock cycles in order to guarantee the backup power supplied logic does not operate before
the oscillator output is stabilized.
Alternatively, a reset supervisor can be connected to the NRSTBU pin in place of the RC.
12.2.2
Slow Clock
The Slow Clock is the only clock considered permanent in an AT91M55800A-based system and
is essential in the operations of the APMC (Advanced Power Management Controller). In any
use-case, a 32768 Hz crystal must be connected to the XIN32 and XOUT32 pins in order to
ensure that the Slow Clock is present.
55
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
12.3
Clock Generator
The clock generator consists of the main oscillator, the PLL and the clock selection logic with its
prescaler. It aims at selecting the Master Clock, called MCK throughout this datasheet. The
clock generator also contains the circuitry needed to drive the MCKO pin with the master clock
signal.
12.3.1
Main Oscillator
The Main Oscillator is designed for a 3 to 20 MHz fundamental crystal. The typical crystal connection is illustrated in Figure 12-4. The 1 kΩ resistor is only required for crystals with
frequencies lower than 8 MHz. The oscillator contains 25 pF capacitances on each XIN and
XOUT pin. Consequently, CL1 and CL2 can be removed when a crystal with a load capacitance
of 12.5 pF is used.
Figure 12-4. Typical Crystal Connection of Main Oscillator
XIN
XOUT
GNDPLL
1KΩ
CL1
CL2
The Main Oscillator can be bypassed if the MOSCBYP bit in the Clock Generator Mode Register
(APMC_CGMR) is set to 1. In this case, any frequency (up to the maximum specified in the electrical characteristics datasheet) can be input on the XIN pin. If the PLL is used, a minimum input
frequency is required.
To minimize the power required to start up the system, the Main Oscillator is disabled after the
reset. The software can deactivate the Main Oscillator to reduce the power consumption by
clearing the MOSCEN bit in APMC_CGMR. The MOSCS (Main Oscillator Status) bit in
APMC_SR is automatically cleared, indicating that the Main Oscillator is off.
Writing the MOSCEN bit in APMC_CGMR reactivates the Main Oscillator and loads the value
written in the OSCOUNT field in APMC_CGMR in the oscillator counter. Then, the oscillator
counter decrements every 8 clock cycles and when it reaches 0, the MOSCS bit is set and can
provide an interrupt.
12.3.2
Phase Lock Loop
The Main Oscillator output signal feeds the phase lock loop, which aims at multiplying the frequency of its input signal by a number up to 64. This number is programmed in the MUL field of
APMC_CGMR and the multiplication ratio is the programmed value plus one (MUL+1). If a null
value is programmed into MUL, the PLL is automatically disabled to save power.
The PLL is disabled at reset to minimize the power consumption.
A start-up sequence must be executed to enable the PLL if it is disabled. This sequence is
started by writing a new MUL value in APMC_CGMR. This automatically clears the LOCK bit in
APMC_SR and loads the PLL counter with the value programmed in the PLLCOUNT field. Then,
the PLL counter decrements at each Slow Clock cycle.
56
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
Note:
Programming one in PLLCOUNT is the minimum allowed and guarantees at least 2 Slow Clock
cycles before the lock bit is set. Programming n in PLLCOUNT guarantees (n+1) the delay of Slow
Clock cycles. When the PLL Counter reaches 0, the LOCK bit in APMC_SR is set and can cause
an interrupt. Programming MUL or PLLCOUNT before the LOCK bit is set may lead to unpredictable behavior.
If the PLL multiplication is changed while the PLL is already active, the LOCK bit in APMC_SR is
automatically cleared and the same sequence is restarted. The PLL is automatically bypassed
while the frequency is changing (while LOCK is 0). If the Main Oscillator is reactivated at the
same time the PLL is enabled, the LOCK bit is set only when both the Main Oscillator and the
PLL are stabilized.
12.3.3
PLL Filter
The Phase Lock Loop has a dedicated PLLRC pin which must connect with an appropriate second order filter made up of one resistor and two capacitors. If the integrated PLL is not used, it
can remain disabled. The PLLRC pin must be grounded if the resistor and the capacitors need to
be saved. The following figure shows a typical filter connection.
Figure 12-5. Typical Filter Connection
PLLRC
R
C2
C1
GNDPLL
In order to obtain optimal results with a 16 MHz input frequency and a 32 MHz output frequency,
the typical component values for the PLL filter are:
R = 287Ω - C1 = 680 nF - C2 = 68 nF
The lock time with these values is about 3.5 µs in this example.
12.3.4
Master Clock Selection
The MCK (Master Clock) can be selected through the CSS field in APMC_CGMR between the
Slow Clock, the output of the Main Oscillator or the output of the PLL.
The following CSS field definitions are forbidden and the write operations are not taken into
account by the APMC:
• deselect the Slow Clock if the Main Oscillator is disabled or its output is not stabilized
• disable the PLL without having first selected the Slow Clock or the Main Oscillator clock
• select the PLL clock and, in the same register, write disable the PLL
• select either the Main Oscillator or the PLL clocks and, in the same register, write disable the
Main Oscillator
• disable the Main Oscillator without having first selected the Slow Clock
This clock switch is performed in some Slow Clocks and PLLs or Main Oscillator clock cycles as
described in the state machine diagram below:

12.3.5
Slow Clock Interrupt
The APMC also features the Slow Clock interrupt, allowing the user to detect when the Master
Clock is actually switched to the Slow Clock. Switching from the Slow Clock to a higher frequency is generally performed safely, as the processor is running slower than the target
frequency. However, switching from a high frequency to the Slow Clock requires the high frequency to be valid during the switch time. The Slow Clock interrupt permits the user to know
exactly when the switch has been achieved, thus, when the Main Oscillator or the PLL can be
disabled.
12.3.6
Prescaler
The prescaler is the last stage to provide the master clock. It permits the selected clock to be
divided by a power of 2 between 1 and 64. The default value is 1 after the reset. The prescaler
allows the microcontroller operating frequency to reach down to 512 Hz.
Precautions must be taken when defining a master clock lower than the Slow Clock, as some
peripherals (RTC and APMC) can still operate at Slow Clock frequency. In this case, access to
the peripheral registers that are updated at 32 kHz cannot be ensured.
12.3.7
58
Master Clock Output
The Master Clock can be output to the MCKO pad. The MCKO pad can be tri-stated to minimize
power consumption by setting the bit MCKODS (Master Clock Output Disable) in APMC_CGMR
(default is MCKO enabled).
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
12.4
System Clock
The AT91M55800A has only one system clock: the ARM Core clock. It can be enabled and disabled by writing to the System Clock Enable (APMC_SCER) and System Clock Disable
Registers (APMC_SCDR). The status of the ARM Core clock (at least for debug purposes) can
be read in the System Clock Status Register (APMC_SCSR).
The ARM Core clock is enabled after a reset and is automatically re-enabled by any enabled
interrupt.
When the ARM Core clock is disabled, the current instruction is finished before the clock is
stopped.
Note:
12.5
Stopping the ARM Core does not prevent PDC transfers.
Peripheral Clocks
Each peripheral clock integrated in the AT91M55800A can be individually enabled and disabled
by writing to the Peripheral Clock Enable (APMC_PCER) and Peripheral Clock Disable
(APMC_PCDR) Registers. The status of the peripheral clocks can be read in the Peripheral
Clock Status Register (APMC_PCSR).
When a peripheral clock is disabled, the clock is immediately stopped. When the clock is reenabled, the peripheral resumes action where it left off.
In order to stop a peripheral, it is recommended that the system software waits until the peripheral has executed its last programmed operation before disabling the clock. This is to avoid data
corruption or erroneous behavior of the system.
The peripheral clocks are automatically disabled after a reset.
The bits that control the peripheral clocks are the same as those that control the Interrupt
Sources in the AIC.
12.6
Shut-down and Wake-up
The APMC (Advanced Power Management Controller) integrates shut-down and wake-up logic
to control an external main power supply. This logic is supplied by the Battery Backup Power.
This feature makes the Power-down mode possible.
If the SHDN pin is connected to the shut-down pin of the main power supply, the Shut-down
command (SHDALC) in APMC_PCR disables the main power. The shut-down input of the converter is generally pulled up or down by a resistor, depending on its active level.
There are 3 ways to exit Power-down mode and restart the main power:
• An alarm programmed in the RTC occurs and the bit ALWKEN in APMC_PMR is set.
• An edge defined by the field WKEDG in APMC_PMR occurs on the pin WAKEUP.
• The user opens the Shut-down line with an external jumper or push-button.
Figure 12-7 shows a typical application using the Shut-down and Wake-up features.

Main Start Up
To accommodate the different types of main power supply available, and different signals that
can command the shut-down of this device, tri-state, level 0 and level 1 are user-definable for
the Shut-down pin. The Wake-up pin can be configured as detected on the positive or negative
edge, and at high or low level. They are selected by the SHDALS and WKACKS fields in
APMC_PMR.
12.7
Alarm
If the Shut-down feature is not used, the pin SHDN can be used as an Alarm Output Signal from
the RTC Alarm. The Alarm State corresponds to Shut-down, and the Acknowledge or Non-Alarm
State corresponds to Wake-up.
The alarm control logic is the same as that for Shut-down. The SHDALC command in
APMC_PCR (defined by the field SHDALS in APMC_PMR) and the WKACKS command in
APMC_PCR (defined by the field WKACKS field in APMC_PMR) control the SHDN pin.
The alarm can be positioned by an RTC Alarm and be acknowledged by a programmable edge
on the WAKEUP pin. The Backup Reset initializes the logic in Non-Alarm State.

1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
12.8
First Start-up Sequence
At initial startup, or after VDDBU has been disconnected, the battery-supplied logic must be
initialized.
The Battery Backup Reset sets the following default state:
• Shut-down Logic
Initialized in the Wake-up state (or Non Alarm)
• The Power Mode Register
Shut-down defines SHDN as level 0 (SHDALS = 1)
Wake-up defines SHDN as tri-state (WKACKS = 0)
• The Real-time Clock Configuration and Data Registers
A simple RC network can be used as a power-on reset for the battery supply.
The pin SHDN is tri-stated by default. An external resistor must hold the main power supply
shut-down pin in the inactive state. The shut-down logic can be programmed with the correct
active level of the power supply shut-down input during the first start-up sequence.
The first time the system is powered up, the SHDN pin is tri-stated because different power supplies use different logic levels for their shut-down input signals. To minimize backup battery
power consumption, there is no internal pull-up or pull-down on this signal.
If the power supply needs a logic level on its shut-down input in order to start the main power
supply then an external “Force Start Up” jumper is required to provide this level.
The jumper provides the necessary level on the SHDN to maintain the power supply when the
AT91 boots, and it can be removed until the next loss of battery power.

13. RTC: Real-time Clock
The AT91M55800A features a Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral that is designed for very low
power consumption. It combines a complete time-of-day clock with alarm and a two-hundred
year Gregorian calendar, complemented by a programmable periodic interrupt.
The time and calendar values are coded in Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) format. The time format can be 24-hour mode or 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.
Updating time and calendar fields and configuring the alarm fields is performed by a parallel capture on the 32-bit data bus. An entry control is performed to avoid loading registers with
incompatible BCD format data or with an incompatible date according to the current month/
year/century.
13.1
Year 2000 Conformity
The Real-time Clock complies fully with the Year 2000 Conformity Requirements as stated in the
British Standards Institution Document Ref BSI-DISC PD2000-1: “Year 2000 conformity shall
mean that neither performance nor functionality is affected by dates prior to, during and after the
year 2000”.
It has been tested to be compliant with the four associated rules:
1. No value for current date will cause any interruption in operation.
2. Date-based functionality must behave consistently for dates prior to, during and after
year 2000.
3. In all interfaces and data storage, the century in any date must be specified either
explicitly or by unambiguous algorithms or inferencing rules.
4. Year 2000 must be recognized as a leap year.
The RTC represents the year as a four-digit number (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, etc.) so that the
century is unambiguously identified, in accordance with Rule 3.

13.2
Functional Description
The RTC provides a full Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) clock which includes century (19/20), year
(with leap years), month, date, day, hours, minutes and seconds.
The valid year range is 1900 to 2099, a two-hundred year Gregorian calendar achieving full Y2K
compliance.
The RTC can operate in 24-hour mode or in 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.
Corrections for leap years are included (all years divisible by 4 being leap years, including year
2000). This is correct up to the year 2099.
13.2.1
Timing
The RTC is updated in real-time at one second intervals in normal mode for the counters of seconds, at 1 minute intervals for the counter of minutes and so on.
Due to the asynchronous operation of the RTC with respect to the rest of the chip, to be certain
that the value read in the RTC registers (century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, seconds) are valid and stable, it is necessary to read these registers twice. If the data is the same
both times, then it is valid. Therefore, a minimum of two and a maximum of three accesses is
required.
13.2.2
Alarm
The RTC has five programmable fields with which to program an alarm: MONTH and DATE in
the Calendar Alarm Register (RTC_CAR), and SEC, MIN and HOUR in the Time Alarm Register
(RTC_TAR). Each of these fields can be enabled or disabled using the bits MTHEN, DATEN,
SECEN, MINEN, HOUREN to match the alarm condition.
• If all the fields are enabled, an alarm flag is generated (the corresponding flag is asserted
and an interrupt generated if enabled) at a given month, date, hour, minute and second.
• If only the “seconds” field is enabled, then an alarm is generated every minute.
• Depending on the combination of fields enabled, a large number of possibilities are available
to the user ranging from minutes to 365/366 days.
13.2.3
Error Checking
A verification on user interface data is performed when accessing the century, year, month,
date, day, hours, minutes, seconds and alarms. A check is performed on illegal BCD entries
such as illegal date of the month with regards to the year and century configured.
If one of the time fields is not correct, the data is not loaded into the register/counter and a flag is
set in the Valid Entry Register (RTC_VER). This flag cannot be reset by the user. It is reset as
soon as an acceptable value is programmed. This avoids any further side effects in the hardware. The same processing is done for the alarm.
The following checks are processed:
1. Century (check if it is in range 19 - 20)
2. Year (BCD entry check)
3. Date (check range 01 - 31)
4. Month (check if it is in BCD range 01 - 12,
check validity regarding “date”)
5. Day (check range 1 - 7)
75
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
6. Hour (BCD check, in 24-hour mode check range 00 - 23 and check that AM/PM flag is
not set if RTC is set in 24-Hour mode, in 12-Hour mode check range 01 - 12)
7. Minute (check BCD and range 00 - 59)
8. Second (check BCD and range 00 - 59)
Note:
13.2.4
If the 12-hour mode is selected by means of the RTC_MODE register, a 12-hour value can be programmed and the returned value on RTC_TIME will be the corresponding 24-hour value. The
entry control checks the value of the AM/PM indicator (bit 22 of RTC_TIME register) to determine
the range to be checked.
Updating Time/Calendar
To update any of the time/calendar fields, the user must first stop the RTC by setting the corresponding field in the Mode Register (RTC_MR). Bit UPDTIM must be set to update time fields
(hour, minute, second) and bit UPDCAL must be set to update calendar fields (century, year,
month, date, day).
Then the user must poll or wait for the interrupt (if enabled) of bit ACKUPD in the Status Register
(RTC_SR). Once the bit reads 1 (the user must clear this status bit by writing ACKUPD to 1 in
RTC_SCR), the user can write to the appropriate register.
Once the update is finished, the user must reset (0) UPDTIM and/or UPDCAL in the Mode Register (RTC_MR).
When programming the calendar fields, the time fields remain enabled. This avoids a time slip in
case the user stays in the calendar update phase for several tens of seconds or more.

14. WD: Watchdog Timer
The AT91M55800A has an internal Watchdog Timer that 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 14-1).
• 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/32, MCK/128, MCK/1024 or
MCK/4096. The selection is made using the WDCLKS parameter in WD_CMR. This provides a
programmable time-out period of 4 ms to 8 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:
3. Write 0x373C to WD_CMR
(HPCV = 15 and WDCLKS = MCK/8)
4. Restart the timer:
Write 0xC071 to WD_CR
5. Enable the watchdog:
Write 0x2345 to WD_OMR (interrupt enabled)

15. AIC: Advanced Interrupt Controller
The AT91M55800A 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
IRQ5.
An 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 low-level sensitive.
The interrupt sources are listed in Table 15-1 on page 97 and the AIC programmable registers in
Table 15-2 on page 102.

15.1
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.
15.2
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 Table 15-1) 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 is 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
reads 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.
15.3
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.
98

1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
15.4
Interrupt Masking
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.
15.5
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.
15.6
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 loads 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.
15.7
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.
15.8
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).
99
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
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.
15.9
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.
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 2 actions,
nor to stop the software.
The debug system must not write to the AIC_IVR as this would cause undesirable effects.

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.

15.11 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 reassertion 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 are
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 reasserted, 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 SPSR, masking or
unmasking the interrupts depending on the state saved in the SPSR (the previous state
of the ARM Core).
111
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
Note:
112
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).

16. PIO: Parallel I/O Controller
The AT91M55800A has 58 programmable I/O lines. 13 pins are dedicated as general-purpose
I/O pins. The other I/O lines are multiplexed with an external signal of a peripheral to optimize
the use of available package pins. The PIO lines are controlled by two separate and identical
PIO Controllers called PIOA and PIOB. The PIO controller enables the generation of an interrupt
on input change and insertion of a simple input glitch filter on any of the PIO pins.
16.1
Multiplexed I/O Lines
Some I/O lines are multiplexed with an I/O signal of a peripheral. After reset, the pin is controlled
by the PIO Controller and is in input mode.
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 16-1 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 multi-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.
16.2
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.
16.3
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).
16.4
Filters
Optional input glitch filtering is available on each pin and is controlled by the registers PIO_IFER
(Input Filter Enable) and PIO_IFDR (Input Filter Disable). The input glitch filtering can be
113
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
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.
16.5
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/clearing the corresponding bit in the PIO_IMR. When
a change in level occurs, the corresponding bit in the PIO_ISR (Interrupt Status) is set whether
the pin is used as a PIO or a peripheral and whether it is defined as input or output. If the corresponding interrupt in PIO_IMR (Interrupt Mask) is enabled, the PIO interrupt is asserted.
When PIO_ISR is read, the register is automatically cleared.
16.6
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.
16.7
Multi-driver (Open Drain)
Each I/O can be programmed for multi-driver option. This means that the I/O is configured as
open drain (can only drive a low level) in order to support external drivers on the same pin. An
external pull-up is necessary to guarantee a logic level of one when the pin is not being driven.
Registers PIO_MDER (Multi-driver Enable) and PIO_MDDR (Multi-driver Disable) control this
option. Multi-driver can be selected whether the I/O pin is controlled by the PIO Controller or the
peripheral. PIO_MDSR (Multi-driver Status) indicates which pins are configured to support external drivers.

Description
SCK
USART Serial clock can be configured as input or output:
SCK is configured as input if an External clock is selected (USCLKS[1] = 1)
SCK is driven as output if the External Clock is disabled (USCLKS[1] = 0) and Clock output is enabled (CLKO = 1)
TXD
Transmit Serial Data is an output
RXD
Receive Serial Data is an input
Notes:
1. After a hardware reset, the USART clock is disabled by default. The user must configure the Power Management Controller
before any access to the User Interface of the USART.
2. After a hardware reset, the USART pins are deselected by default (see Section 16. “PIO: Parallel I/O Controller” on page
113). The user must configure the PIO Controller before enabling the transmitter or receiver. If the user selects one of the
internal clocks, SCK can be configured as a PIO.

1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
18.2
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.
Baud Rate
=
Selected Clock
16 x CD
When the USART is programmed to operate in Synchronous Mode (SYNC = 1) and the selected
clock is internal (USCLKS[1] = 0 in the Mode Register US_MR), the Baud Rate Clock is the
internal selected clock divided by the value written in US_BRGR. If US_BRGR is set to 0, the
Baud Rate Clock is disabled.

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

18.3.1
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 midpoint 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 18-5.

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.
18.3.4
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. When the character is completed and as
soon as the character is read, the parity status bit is cleared.
18.3.5
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.
18.3.6
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 timeout 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.
Calculation of time-out duration:
Duration = Value • 4 • BitPeriod

18.4
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 18-6.
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.
18.4.1
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 Timeguard). When this register is set to zero, no time-guard is generated. Otherwise, the transmitter
holds a high level on TXD after each transmitted byte during the number of bit periods programmed in US_TTGR.

Multi-drop Mode
When the field PAR in US_MR equals 11X (binary value), the USART is configured to run in
multi-drop mode. In this case, the parity error bit PARE in US_CSR is set when data is detected
with a parity bit set to identify an address byte. PARE is cleared with the Reset Status Bits Command (RSTSTA) in US_CR. If the parity bit is detected low, 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.

18.6
Break
A break condition is a low signal level which has a duration of at least one character (including
start/stop bits and parity).
18.6.1
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). US_CSR.TXEMPTY is cleared. 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 (bit
TXRDY = 0 in US_CSR) 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).
140
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
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
(bit 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
(bit TXRDY = 1 in US_CSR)
6. Send the next byte
(write byte to US_THR)
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.
18.6.2
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 1-bit + 1/16 of a bit period in asynchronous operating mode
or at least one sample in synchronous operating 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.
141
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
18.7
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) and can be programmed to generate an interrupt. Transfers are
then disabled until a new non-zero counter value is programmed.
18.8
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.
18.9
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 re-transmission.

19. TC: Timer Counter
The AT91M55800A features two Timer Counter Blocks, each containing three identical 16-bit
timer counter channels. Each channel can be independently programmed to perform a wide
range of functions including frequency measurement, event counting, interval measurement,
pulse generation, delay timing and pulse-width modulation.
Each Timer Counter channel has three external clock inputs, five internal clock inputs, and two
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).
Each 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.
The internal configuration of a single Timer Counter Block is shown in Figure Figure 19-1 on
page 163.

Notes:
1. After a hardware reset, the TC clock is disabled by default (See “APMC: Advanced Power Management Controller” on page
52.). The user must configure the Power Management Controller before any access to the User Interface of the TC.
2. 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
Each Timer Counter channel is identical in operation. The registers for channel programming are
listed in Table 19-1 on page 164.
19.2.1
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 input clock. When the counter reaches 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 clock.
19.2.2
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
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.

19.2.3
Clock Control
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.

Timer Counter Operating Modes
Each Timer Counter channel can independently operate in two different modes:
• Capture Mode allows measurement on signals
• Waveform Mode allows wave generation
The Timer Counter 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.
19.2.5
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:
166
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
• 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.
167
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
19.3
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 considered as input.
Figure 19-4 shows the configuration of the TC Channel when programmed in Capture Mode.
19.3.1
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.
19.3.2
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.
19.3.3
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

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 19-5 shows the configuration of the TC Channel when programmed in Waveform Operating Mode.
19.4.1
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. Trigger resets the
counter so RC can control the period of PWM waveforms.
19.4.2
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.
19.4.3
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.

20. SPI: Serial Peripheral Interface
The AT91M55800A includes an SPI which provides communication with external devices in
master or slave mode.
The SPI has four external chip selects which can be connected to up to 15 devices. The data
length is programmable, from 8- to 16-bit.
As for the USART, a 2-channel PDC can be used to move data between memory and the SPI
without CPU intervention.
20.1
Pin Description
Seven pins are associated with the SPI Interface. When not needed for the SPI function, each of
these pins can be configured as a PIO.
Support for an external master is provided by the PIO Controller Multi-driver option. To configure
an SPI pin as open-drain to support external drivers, set the corresponding bits in the
PIO_MDSR register.
An input filter can be enabled on the SPI input pins by setting the corresponding bits in the
PIO_IFSR.
The NPCS0/NSS pin can function as a peripheral chip select output or slave select input. Refer
to Table 20-1 for a description of the SPI pins.

Notes:
1. After a hardware reset, the SPI clock is disabled by default. The user must configure the Power Management Controller
before any access to the User Interface of the SPI.
2. After a hardware reset, the SPI pins are deselected by default (see Section 16. “PIO: Parallel I/O Controller” on page 113).
The user must configure the PIO Controller to enable the corresponding pins for their SPI function. NPCS0/NSS must be
configured as open drain in the Parallel I/O Controller for multi-master operation.
20.2
Master Mode
In Master Mode, the SPI controls data transfers to and from the slave(s) connected to the SPI
bus. The SPI drives the chip select(s) to the slave(s) and the serial clock (SPCK). After enabling
the SPI, a data transfer begins when the ARM core writes to the SP_TDR (Transmit Data
Register).
Transmit and Receive buffers maintain the data flow at a constant rate with a reduced requirement for high priority interrupt servicing. When new data is available in the SP_TDR (Transmit
Data Register) the SPI continues to transfer data. If the SP_RDR (Receive Data Register) has
not been read before new data is received, the Overrun Error (OVRES) flag is set.
The delay between the activation of the chip select and the start of the data transfer (DLYBS) as
well as the delay between each data transfer (DLYBCT) can be programmed for each of the four
external chip selects. All data transfer characteristics including the two timing values are programmed in registers SP_CSR0 to SP_CSR3 (Chip Select Registers). See Table 20-2.
In master mode the peripheral selection can be defined in two different ways:
• Fixed Peripheral Select: SPI exchanges data with only one peripheral
• Variable Peripheral Select: Data can be exchanged with more than one peripheral
Figures 20-2 and 20-3 show the operation of the SPI in Master Mode. For details concerning the
flag and control bits in these diagrams, see the tables in the Programmer’s Model, starting on
page 198.
20.2.1
Fixed Peripheral Select
This mode is ideal for transferring memory blocks without the extra overhead in the transmit data
register to determine the peripheral.
Fixed Peripheral Select is activated by setting bit PS to zero in SP_MR (Mode Register). The
peripheral is defined by the PCS field, also in SP_MR.
This option is only available when the SPI is programmed in master mode.
191
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
20.2.2
Variable Peripheral Select
Variable Peripheral Select is activated by setting bit PS to one. The PCS field in SP_TDR
(Transmit Data Register) is used to select the destination peripheral. The data transfer characteristics are changed when the selected peripheral changes, according to the associated chip
select register.
The PCS field in the SP_MR has no effect.
This option is only available when the SPI is programmed in master mode.
20.2.3
Chip Selects
The Chip Select lines are driven by the SPI only if it is programmed in Master Mode. These lines
are used to select the destination peripheral. The PCSDEC field in SP_MR (Mode Register)
selects 1 to 4 peripherals (PCSDEC = 0) or up to 15 peripherals (PCSDEC = 1).
If Variable Peripheral Select is active, the chip select signals are defined for each transfer in the
PCS field in SP_TDR. Chip select signals can thus be defined independently for each transfer.
If Fixed Peripheral Select is active, Chip Select signals are defined for all transfers by the field
PCS in SP_MR. If a transfer with a new peripheral is necessary, the software must wait until the
current transfer is completed, then change the value of PCS in SP_MR before writing new data
in SP_TDR.
The value on the NPCS pins at the end of each transfer can be read in the SP_RDR (Receive
Data Register).
By default, all NPCS signals are high (equal to one) before and after each transfer.
20.2.4
Mode Fault Detection
A mode fault is detected when the SPI is programmed in Master Mode and a low level is driven
by an external master on the NPCS0/NSS signal.
When a mode fault is detected, the MODF bit in the SP_SR is set until the SP_SR is read and
the SPI is disabled until re-enabled by bit SPIEN in the SP_CR (Control Register).

Slave Mode
In Slave Mode, the SPI waits for NSS to go active low before receiving the serial clock from an
external master.
In slave mode CPOL, NCPHA and BITS fields of SP_CSR0 are used to define the transfer characteristics. The other Chip Select Registers are not used in slave mode.

Clock Generation
In master mode the SPI Master Clock is either MCK or MCK/32, as defined by the MCK32 field
of SP_MR. The SPI baud rate clock is generated by dividing the SPI Master Clock by a value
between 4 and 510. The divisor is defined in the SCBR field in each Chip Select Register. The
transfer speed can thus be defined independently for each chip select signal.
CPOL and NCPHA in the Chip Select Registers define the clock/data relationship between master and slave devices. CPOL defines the inactive value of the SPCK. NCPHA defines which
edge causes data to change and which edge causes data to be captured.
In Slave Mode, the input clock low and high pulse duration must strictly be longer than two system clock (MCK) periods.
20.6
Peripheral Data Controller
The SPI is closely connected to two Peripheral Data Controller channels. One is dedicated to
the receiver. The other is dedicated to the transmitter.
The PDC channel is programmed using SP_TPR (Transmit Pointer) and SP_TCR (Transmit
Counter) for the transmitter and SP_RPR (Receive Pointer) and SP_RCR (Receive Counter) for
the receiver. The status of the PDC is given in SP_SR by the SPENDTX bit for the transmitter
and by the SPENDRX bit for the receiver.
The pointer registers (SP_TPR and SP_RPR) are used to store the address of the transmit or
receive buffers. The counter registers (SP_TCR and SP_RCR) are used to store the size of
these buffers.
The receiver data transfer is triggered by the RDRF bit and the transmitter data transfer is triggered by TDRE. When a transfer is performed, the counter is decremented and the pointer is
incremented. When the counter reaches 0, the status bit is set (SPENDRX for the receiver,
SPENDTX for the transmitter in SP_SR) and can be programmed to generate an interrupt. While
the counter is at zero, the status bit is asserted and transfers are disabled.

SP_CSR0defines peripheral chip select signals 0 to 3.
SP_CSR1defines peripheral chip select signals 4 to 7.
SP_CSR2defines peripheral chip select signals 8 to 11.
SP_CSR3defines peripheral chip select signals 12 to 15(1).
Note:
1. The 16th state corresponds to a state in which all chip selects are inactive. This allows a different clock configuration to be
defined by each chip select register.

• SCBR: Serial Clock Baud Rate (Code Label SP_SCBR)
In Master Mode, the SPI Interface uses a modulus counter to derive the SPCK baud rate from the SPI Master Clock
(selected between MCK and MCK/32). The Baud rate is selected by writing a value from 2 to 255 in the field SCBR. The
following equation determines the SPCK baud rate:
SPCK_Baud_Rate =
SPI_Master_Clock_frequency
2 x SCBR
Giving SCBR a value of zero or one disables the baud rate generator. SPCK is disabled and assumes its inactive state
value. No serial transfers may occur. At reset, baud rate is disabled.
• DLYBS: Delay Before SPCK (Code Label SP_DLYBS)
This field defines the delay from NPCS valid to the first valid SPCK transition.
When DLYBS equals zero, the NPCS valid to SPCK transition is 1/2 the SPCK clock period.
Otherwise, the following equation determines the delay:
NPCS_to_SPCK_Delay = DLYBS * SPI_Master_Clock_period
• DLYBCT: Delay Between Consecutive Transfers (Code Label SP_DLYBCT)
This field defines the delay between two consecutive transfers with the same peripheral without removing the chip select.
The delay is always inserted after each transfer and before removing the chip select if needed.
When DLYBCT equals zero, a delay of four SPI Master Clock periods are inserted.
Otherwise, the following equation determines the delay:
Delay_After_Transfer = 32 * DLYBCT * SPI_Master_Clock_period

21. ADC: Analog-to-digital Converter
The AT91M55800A features two identical 4-channel 10-bit Analog-to-digital converters (ADC)
based on a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) approach.
Each ADC has 4 analog input pins (AD0 to AD3 and AD4 to AD7), digital trigger input pins
(AD0TRIG and AD1TRIG), and provides an interrupt signal to the AIC. Both ADCs share the
analog power supply pins (VDDA and GNDA) and the input reference voltage pin (ADVREF).

21.0.1
Analog-to-digital Conversion
The ADC has an internal sample-and-hold circuit that holds the sampled analog value during a
complete conversion.
The reference voltage pin ADVREF allows the analog input conversion range to be set between
0 and ADVREF. Analog inputs between these voltages convert to values based on a linear
conversion.
The ADC uses the ADC Clock to perform the conversion. To convert a single analog value to a
10-bit digital data requires 11 ADC clock cycles. The ADC Clock frequency is selected in the
PRESCAL field of the Mode Register (ADC_MR).
21.0.2
Conversion Results
When a conversion is complete, the resulting 10-bit digital value is stored in the Convert Data
Register (ADC_CDR) of the selected channel, and the corresponding EOC flag in the Status
Register (ADC_SR) is set. This bit can provide an interrupt signal and is automatically cleared
when the corresponding Convert Data Register (ADC_CDR) is read.
If the ADC_CDR is not read before further incoming data is converted, the corresponding Overrun Error (OVRE) flag is set in the Status Register (ADC_SR).
The ADC offers an 8-bit or 10-bit operating mode. By default after a reset, the ADC operates in
10-bit mode. If the bit RES in ADC_MR is set, the 8-bit mode is selected.
When operating in 10-bit mode, the field DATA in ADC_CDR is fully significant.
When operating in 8-bit mode, only the 8 lowest bits of DATA are significant and the 2 highest
bits read 0.
21.0.3
Conversion Triggers
Conversions of the active analog channels are started with a software or a hardware trigger. The
software trigger is provided by writing the bit START in the Control Register (ADC_CR).
The hardware trigger can be one of the TIOA outputs of the Timer Counter channels, or the
external trigger input of the ADC (AD0TRIG for the ADC0 or AD1TRIG for ADC1). The hardware
trigger is selected with the field TRGSEL in the Mode Register (ADC_MR). The selected hardware trigger is enabled with the bit TRGEN in the Mode Register (ADC_MR).
If a hardware trigger is selected, the start of a conversion is detected at each rising edge of the
selected signal. If one of the TIOA outputs is selected, the corresponding Timer Counter channel
must be programmed in Waveform Mode.
Only one start command is necessary to initiate a conversion sequence on all the channels. The
ADC hardware logic automatically performs the conversions on the active channels, then waits
for a new request. The Channel Enable (ADC_CHER) and Channel Disable (ADC_CHDR) Registers enable the analog channels to be enabled or disabled independently.
21.0.4
Sleep Mode
The AT91 ADC Sleep Mode maximizes power saving by deactivating the ADC when it is not
being used for conversions. Sleep Mode is selected by setting the bit SLEEP in the Mode Register ADC_MR.
When a start conversion request occurs, the ADC is automatically activated. As the analog cell
requires a start-up time, the logic waits during this time and starts the conversion sequence on
213
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
the enabled channel. When all conversions are complete, the ADC is deactivated until the next
trigger.
This permits an automatic conversion sequence with minimum CPU intervention and optimized
power consumption.

22. DAC: Digital-to-Analog Converter
The AT91M55800A features two identical 1-channel 10-bit Digital-to-analog converters (DAC).
Each DAC has an analog output pin (DA0 and DA1) and provides an interrupt signal to the AIC
(DA0IRQ and DA1IRQ). Both DACs share the analog power supply pins VDDA and GNDA, and
the input reference pin DAVREF.

Conversion Details
Digital-to-analog conversions are possible only if the DAC has been enabled in the APMC and
the startup time has elapsed. This startup time is a maximum of 5 µsec, and is indicated more
precisely in the Electrical Characteristics datasheet of the device as parameter tDASU.
Digital inputs are converted to output voltages on a linear conversion between 0 and DAVREF.
The analog output voltages on DA0 and DA1 pins are determined by the following equation:
224
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
DA = DAVREF x (DAC_DOR / 1024)
When DAC_DOR (Data Output Register) is loaded, the analog output voltage is available after a
settling time of approximately 5 µsec. The exact value depends on the power supply voltage and
the analog output load, and is indicated in the Electrical Characteristics Sheet of the device as
parameter tDAST.
The output register cannot be written directly and any data transfer to the DAC must be performed by writing in DAC_DHR (Data Holding Register). The transfer from DAC_DHR to
DAC_DOR is performed automatically or when an hardware trigger occurs, depending on the bit
TRGEN in DAC_MR (Mode Register).
The DAC integrates an output buffer enabling the reduction of the output impedance, and the
possibility of driving external loads directly, without having to add an external operational amplifier. The maximum load supported by the output buffer is indicated in the Electrical
Characteristics of the device.
22.1.1
8- or 10-bit Conversion Mode
Bit RES in the Mode Register (DAC_MR) selects between 8-bit or 10-bit modes of operation. In
8-bit mode, the data written in DAC_DHR is automatically shifted left two bits and the two lowest
bits are written 0. The bit RES also affects the type of transfers performed by the PDC channel:
• in 8-bit mode, only a byte transfer is performed.
• in 10-bit mode, a half-word transfer (16 bits) is performed.
22.1.2
Trigger Selection
A conversion is triggered when data is written in DAC_DHR and TRGEN in DAC_MR is 0.
If TRGEN is 1, a hardware trigger is selected by the field TTRGSEL between the Timer Counter
Channel outputs TIOA. In this case, the corresponding Timer Counter channel must be programmed in Waveform Mode, and each time the DAC detects a rising edge on the TC output, it
transfers the last data written in DAC_DHR into DAC_DOR.
The bit DATRDY traces the fact that a valid data has been written in DAC_DHR and not yet
been transferred in DAC_DOR. An interrupt can be generated from this status bit to tell the software to load the following value.

The Boundary-scan Register (BSR) contains 256 bits which correspond to active pins and associated control signals.
Each AT91M55800A input pin has a corresponding bit in the Boundary-scan Register for
observability.
Each AT91M55800A output pin has a corresponding 2-bit register in the BSR. The OUTPUT bit
contains data which can be forced on the pad. The CTRL bit can put the pad into high impedance.
Each AT91M55800A in/out pin corresponds to a 3-bit register in the BSR. The OUTPUT bit contains data that can be forced on the pad. The INPUT bit is for the observability of data applied to
the pad. The CTRL bit selects the direction of the pad.

27. Errata
The following known errata are applicable to:
• The following datasheets:
AT91M55800A Summary, 1745S
AT91M55800A, (This document)
AT91M55800A, Electrical Characteristics Rev.1727
• 176-lead LQFP and 176-ball BGA devices with the following markings:
27.1
ADC: ADC Characteristics and Behavior
The tracking time has a theoretical minimum duration. It equals one ADC Clock period and is
normally ensured by the ADC Controller.
It might randomly happen that this minimum duration cannot be guaranteed on the first enabled
channel. When this happens, the sampling and hold process is too short and the conversion
result is wrong.
Problem Fix/Work Around
To use only one channel, the user has to enable two channels and then must use the second
channel only.
In the event that all of the ADC channels need to be used, only three channels will be available.
A software work around allows all the channels to be used. It consists of performing several conversions and averaging the samples on the first enabled channel. This method does not support
fast conversion. However, signals from temperature sensors, which are slow signals, can be
handled by averaging a number of samples.
27.2
Warning: Additional NWAIT Constraints
When the NWAIT signal is asserted during an external memory access, the following EBI
behavior is correct:
– NWAIT is asserted before the first rising edge of the master clock and respects the
NWAIT to MCKI rising setup timing as defined in the Electrical Characteristics
datasheet.
– NWAIT is sampled inactive and at least one standard wait state remains to be
executed, even if NWAIT does not meet the NWAIT to first MCKI rising setup timing
(i.e., NWAIT is asserted only on the second rising edge of MCKI).
In these cases, the access is delayed as required by NWAIT and the access operations are
correctly performed.
246
AT91M5880A
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
AT91M5880A
In other cases, the following erroneous behavior occurs:
– 32-bit read accesses are not managed correctly and the first 16-bit data sampling
takes into account only the standard wait states. 16- and 8-bit accesses are not
affected.
– During write accesses of any type, the NWE rises on the rising edge of the last cycle
as defined by the programmed number of wait states. However, NWAIT assertion
does affect the length of the total access. Only the NWE pulse length is inaccurate.
At maximum speed, asserting the NWAIT in the first access cycle is not possible, as the sum of
the timings “MCKI Falling to Chip Select” and “NWAIT setup to MCKI rising” are generally higher
than one half of a clock period. This leads to using at least one standard wait state. However,
this is not sufficient except to perform byte or half-word read accesses. Word and write accesses
require at least two standard wait states.
The following waveforms further explain the issue:
If the NWAIT setup time is satisfied on the first rising edge of MCKI, the behavior is accurate.
The EBI operations are not affected when the NWAIT rises.
Figure 27-1. NWAIT Rising
MCKI
NWAIT
NWAIT Setup before MCKI Rising (EBI5)
If the NWAIT setup time is satisfied on the following edges of MCKI and if at least one standard
wait state remains to be executed, the behavior is accurate. In the following example, the number of standard wait states is two. The NWAIT setup time on the second rising edge of MCKI
must be met.

If the first two conditions are not met during a 32-bit read access, the first 16-bit data is read at
the end of the standard 16-bit read access. In the following example, the number of standard
waits is one. NWAIT assertions do affect both NRD pulse lengths, but first data sampling is not
delayed. The second data sampling is correct.

If the first two conditions are not met during write accesses, the NWE signal is not affected by
the NWAIT assertion. The following example illustrates the number of standard wait states.
NWAIT is not asserted during the first cycle, but is asserted at the second and last cycle of the
standard access. The access is correctly delayed as the NCS line rises accordingly to the
NWAIT assertion. However, the NWE signal waveform is unchanged, and rises too early.

APMC: Unpredictable Result in APMC State Machine on Switch from Oscillator to PLL
An automatic switch from the main oscillator output (CSS = 1) may cause an unpredictable
result in the APMC state machine. The automatic PLL to PLL transition is also effected by this
problem.
Problem Fix/Workaround
The user must either wait for the PLL lock flag to be set in the APMC status register or switch to
an intermediate 32 kHz oscillator output (CSS = 0).
27.4
APMC: Clock Switching with the Prescaler in the APMC is not Permitted
Switching from the selected clock (PRES = 0) to the selected clock divided by 4 (PRES = 2), 8
(PRES = 3) or 64 (PRES = 6) may lead to unpredictable results.
Problem Fix/Workaround
First, the user should switch to any other value (PRES = 1, 4 or 5) and wait for the actual switch
to perform (at least 64 cycles of the selected clock). Then, the user can write the final prescaler
value.
27.5
SPI: Initializing SPI in Master Mode May Cause a Mode Fault Detection
Problem Fix/Workaround
In order to prevent this error, the user must pull up the PA26/NPCS0/NSS pin to the VDDIO power
supply.
249
1745F–ATARM–06-Sep-07
27.6
SPI: SPI in Slave Mode does not Work
In transmission, the data to be transmitted (written in SP_TDR) is transferred in the shift register
and, consequently, the TDRE bit in SP_SR is set to 1. Though the transfer has not begun, when
the following data are written in SP_TDR, they are also transferred into the shift register, crushing the precedent data and setting the bit TDRE to 1.
Problem Fix/Workaround
No problem fix/workaround to propose.
27.7
VDDBU Consumption is not Guaranteed
The battery supply voltage consumption is not guaranteed in the case of internal peripheral
accesses.
Problem Fix/Workaround
The user should minimally access the Advanced Peripheral Bus by using an interrupt-driven
driver rather than polling methods.
27.8
VDDCORE Current Consumption when PLL is not Used
If the PLL is not used, an excessive current consumption can be seen on VDDPLL (about 2 mA).
Problem Fix/Workaround
At start-up, set the PLL on (set MUL at 2 and PLLCOUNT at 2, for example), wait for the PLL
LOCK and then disable the PLL (MUL = 0).
