Description
The AT91RM9200 is a complete system-on-chip built around the ARM920T ARM Thumb processor. It incorporates a rich set of system and application peripherals and standard interfaces
in order to provide a single-chip solution for a wide range of compute-intensive applications
that require maximum functionality at minimum power consumption at lowest cost.
The AT91RM9200 incorporates a high-speed on-chip SRAM workspace, and a low-latency
External Bus Interface (EBI) for seamless connection to whatever configuration of off-chip
memories and memory-mapped peripherals is required by the application. The EBI incorporates controllers for synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), Burst Flash and Static memories and
features specific circuitry facilitating the interface for SmartMedia, CompactFlash and NAND
Flash.
The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) enhances the interrupt handling performance of the
ARM920T processor by providing multiple vectored, prioritized interrupt sources and reducing
the time taken to transfer to an interrupt handler.
The Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) provides DMA channels for all the serial peripherals,
enabling them to transfer data to or from on- and off-chip memories without processor intervention. This reduces the processor overhead when dealing with transfers of continuous data
streams.The AT91RM9200 benefits from a new generation of PDC which includes dual pointers that simplify significantly buffer chaining.
The set of Parallel I/O (PIO) controllers multiplex the peripheral input/output lines with generalpurpose data I/Os for maximum flexibility in device configuration. An input change interrupt,
open drain capability and programmable pull-up resistor is included on each line.
The Power Management Controller (PMC) keeps system power consumption to a minimum by
selectively enabling/disabling the processor and various peripherals under software control. It
uses an enhanced clock generator to provide a selection of clock signals including a slow
clock (32 kHz) to optimize power consumption and performance at all times.
The AT91RM9200 integrates a wide range of standard interfaces including USB 2.0 Full
Speed Host and Device and Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Media Access Controller (MAC), which
provides connection to a extensive range of external peripheral devices and a widely used networking layer. In addition, it provides an extensive set of peripherals that operate in
accordance with several industry standards, such as those used in audio, telecom, Flash
Card, infrared and Smart Card applications.
To complete the offer, the AT91RM9200 benefits from the integration of a wide range of debug
features including JTAG-ICE, a dedicated UART debug channel (DBGU) and an embedded
real time trace. This enables the development and debug of all applications, especially those
with real-time constraints.

AT91RM9200 Product Properties
Power Supplies
The AT91RM9200 has five types of power supply pins:
•
VDDCORE pins. They power the core, including processor, memories and peripherals;
voltage ranges from 1.65V to 1.95V, 1.8V nominal.
•
VDDIOM pins. They power the External Bus Interface I/O lines; voltage ranges from 1.65V
to 3.6V, 1.8V, 3V or 3.3V nominal.
•
VDDIOP pins. They power the Peripheral I/O lines and the USB transceivers; voltage
ranges from 1.65V to 3.6V, 1.8V, 3V or 3.3V nominal.(1)
•
VDDPLL pins. They power the PLL cells; voltage ranges from 1.65V to 1.95V, 1.8V
nominal.
•
VDDOSC pin. They power both oscillators; voltage ranges from 1.65V to 1.95V, 1.8V
nominal.
Note:
1. Powering VDDIOP with a voltage lower than 3V prevents any use of the USB Host and
Device Ports. This also affects the operation of the Trace Port.
The double power supplies VDDIOM and VDDIOP are identified in Table 1 on page 14 and
Table 2 on page 16. These supplies enable the user to power the device differently for interfacing with memories and for interfacing with peripherals.
Ground pins are common to all power supplies, except VDDPLL and VDDOSC pins. For these
pins, GNDPLL and GNDOSC are provided, respectively.
Pinout

Overview of the
256-ball BGA
Package
Figure 3 on page 18 shows the orientation of the 256-ball BGA Package.
Peripheral
Multiplexing on
PIO Lines
The AT91RM9200 features four PIO controllers:
A detailed mechanical description is given in the section Mechanical Characteristics.
Figure 3. 256-ball BGA Pinout (Top View)
•
PIOA and PIOB, multiplexing I/O lines of the peripheral set.
•
PIOC, multiplexing the data bus bits 16 to 31 and several External Bus Interface control
signals. Using PIOC pins increases the number of general-purpose I/O lines available but
prevents 32-bit memory access.
•
PIOD, available in the 256-ball BGA package option only, multiplexing outputs of the
peripheral set and the ETM port.
Each PIO Controller controls up to 32 lines. Each line can be assigned to one of two peripheral
functions, A or B. The tables in the following paragraphs define how the I/O lines of the peripherals A and B are multiplexed on the PIO Controllers A, B, C and D. The two columns
“Function” and “Comments” have been inserted for the user’s own comments; they may be
used to track how pins are defined in an application.
The column “Reset State” indicates whether the PIO line resets in I/O mode or in peripheral
mode. If equal to “I/O”, the PIO line resets in input with the pull-up enabled so that the device
is maintained in a static state as soon as the NRST pin is asserted. As a result, the bit corresponding to the PIO line in the register PIO_PSR (Peripheral Status Register) resets low.
If a signal name is in the “Reset State” column, the PIO line is assigned to this function and the
corresponding bit in PIO_PSR resets high. This is the case for pins controlling memories,
either address lines or chip selects, and that require the pin to be driven as soon as NRST
raises. Note that the pull-up resistor is also enabled in this case.
See Table 3 on page 19, Table 4 on page 20, Table 5 on page 21 and Table 6 on page 22.

System Interrupt
The System Interrupt is the wired-OR of the interrupt signals coming from:
•
the Memory Controller
•
the Debug Unit
•
the System Timer
•
the Real-Time Clock
•
the Power Management Controller
The clock of these peripherals cannot be controlled and the Peripheral ID 1 can only be used
within the Advanced Interrupt Controller.
External Interrupts
All external interrupt signals, i.e., the Fast Interrupt signal FIQ or the Interrupt signals IRQ0 to
IRQ6, use a dedicated Peripheral ID. However, there is no clock control associated with these
peripheral IDs.
29
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Product Memory Mapping
A first level of address decoding is performed by the Memory Controller, i.e., by the implementation of the Advanced System Bus (ASB) with additional features.
Decoding splits the 4G bytes of address space into 16 areas of 256M bytes. The areas 1 to 8
are directed to the EBI that associates these areas to the external chip selects NC0 to NCS7.
The area 0 is reserved for the addressing of the internal memories, and a second level of
decoding provides 1M bytes of internal memory area. The area 15 is reserved for the peripherals and provides access to the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB).
Other areas are unused and performing an access within them provides an abort to the master
requesting such an access.

Peripheral Implementation
USART
The USART describes features allowing management of the Modem Signals DTR, DSR, DCD
and RI. For details, see “Modem Mode” on page 422.
In the AT91RM9200, only the USART1 implements these signals, named DTR1, DSR1, DCD1
and RI1.
The USART0, USART2 and USART3 do not implement all the modem signals. Only RTS and
CTS (RTS0 and CTS0, RTS2 and CTS2, RTS3 and CTS3, respectively) are implemented in
these USARTs for other features.
Thus, programming the USART0, USART2 or the USART3 in Modem Mode may lead to
unpredictable results. In these USARTs, the commands relating to the Modem Mode have no
effect and the status bits relating the status of the modem signals are never activated.
Timer Counter
The Timer Counter 0 to 5 are described with five generic clock inputs, TIMER_CLOCK1 to
TIMER_CLOCK5. In the AT91RM9200, these clock inputs are connected to the Master Clock
(MCK), to the Slow Clock (SLCK) and to divisions of the Master Clock. For details, see “Clock
Control” on page 476.
Table 2 gives the correspondence between the Timer Counter clock inputs and clocks in the
AT91RM9200. Each Timer Counter 0 to 5 displays the same configuration.

AT91RM9200
ARM9TDMI Processor
Instruction Type
Instructions are either 32 bits (in ARM state) or 16 bits (in Thumb state).
Data Types
ARM9TDMI supports byte (8-bit), half-word (16-bit) and word (32-bit) data types. Words
must be aligned to four-byte boundaries and half-words to two-byte boundaries.
Unaligned data access behavior depends on which instruction is used in a particular
location.
ARM9TDMI Operating
Modes
The ARM9TDMI, based on ARM architecture v4T, supports seven processor modes:
•
User: Standard ARM program execution state
•
FIQ: Designed to support high-speed data transfer or channel processes
•
IRQ: Used for general-purpose interrupt handling
•
Supervisor: Protected mode for the operating system
•
Abort mode: Implements virtual memory and/or memory protection
•
System: A privileged user mode for the operating system
•
Undefined: Supports software emulation of hardware coprocessors
Mode changes may be made under software control, or may be brought about by external interrupts or exception processing. Most application programs will execute in User
Mode. The non-user modes, known as privileged modes, are entered in order to service
interrupts or exceptions or to access protected resources.
37
1768B–ATARM–08/03
ARM9TDMI Registers
The ARM9TDMI processor core consists of a 32-bit datapath and associated control
logic. That datapath contains 31 general-purpose registers, coupled to a full shifter,
Arithmetic Logic Unit and multiplier.
At any one time, 16 registers are visible to the user. The remainder are synonyms used
to speed up exception processing.
Register 15 is the Program Counter (PC) and can be used in all instructions to reference
data relative to the current instruction.
R14 holds the return address after a subroutine call.
R13 is used (by software convention) as a stack pointer.

Mode-specific banked
registers
Registers R0 to R7 are unbanked registers, thus each of them refers to the same 32-bit
physical register in all processor modes. They are general-purpose registers, with no
special uses managed by the architecture, and can be used wherever an instruction
allows a general-purpose register to be specified.

AT91RM9200
Registers R8 to R14 are banked registers. This means that each of them depends of the
current processor mode.
For further details, see the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, Rev. DDI0100E.
Modes and Exception
Handling
All exceptions have banked registers for R14 and R13.
After an exception, R14 holds the return address for exception processing. This address
is used both to return after the exception is processed and to address the instruction that
caused the exception.
R13 is banked across exception modes to provide each exception handler with a private
stack pointer.
The fast interrupt mode also banks registers 8 to 12 so that interrupt processing can
begin without the need to save these registers.
A seventh processing mode, System Mode, does not have any banked registers. It uses
the User Mode registers. System Mode runs tasks that require a privileged processor
mode and allows them to invoke all classes of exceptions.
Status Registers
All other processor states are held in status registers. The current operating processor
status is in the Current Program Status Register (CPSR). The CPSR holds:
•
four ALU flags (Negative, Zero, Carry, and Overflow),
•
two interrupt disable bits (one for each type of interrupt),
•
one bit to indicate ARM or Thumb execution
•
five bits to encode the current processor mode
All five exception modes also have a Saved Program Status Register (SPSR) which
holds the CPSR of the task immediately before the exception occurred.
Exception Types
The ARM9TDMI supports five types of exceptions and a privileged processing mode for
each type. The types of exceptions are:
•
fast interrupt (FIQ)
•
normal interrupt (IRQ)
•
memory aborts (used to implement memory protection or virtual memory)
•
attempted execution of an undefined instruction
•
software interrupt (SWIs)
Exceptions are generated by internal and external sources.
More than one exception can occur at the same time.
When an exception occurs, the banked version of R14 and the SPSR for the exception
mode are used to save the state.
To return after handling the exception, the SPSR is moved to the CPSR and R14 is
moved to the PC. This can be done in two ways:
•
use of a data-processing instruction with the S-bit set, and the PC as the destination
•
use of the Load Multiple with Restore CPSR instruction (LDM)

Thumb Instruction Set
Overview
The Thumb instruction set is a re-encoded subset of the ARM instruction set.
The Thumb instruction set is divided into:
•
Branch instructions
•
Data processing instructions
•
Load and Store instructions
•
Load and Store multiple instructions
•
Exception-generating instruction
In Thumb mode, eight general-purpose registers are available, R0 to R7, that are the
same physical registers as R0 to R7 when executing ARM instructions. Some Thumb
instructions also access the Program Counter (ARM Register 15), the Link Register
(ARM Register 14) and the Stack Pointer (ARM Register 13). Further instructions allow
limited access to the ARM register 8 to 15.
For further details, see the ARM920T Technical Reference Manual, Rev. DDI0151C.

CP15 Register Access
CP15 registers can only be accessed in privileged mode by:
•
MCR (Move to Coprocessor from ARM Register) instruction
•
MRC (Move to ARM Register from Coprocessor) instruction
Other instructions (CDP, LDC, STC) cause an undefined instruction exception.
The MCR instruction is used to write an ARM register to CP15.
The MRC instruction is used to read the value of CP15 to an ARM register.
The assembler code for these instructions is:
MCR/MRC{cond} p15, opcode_1, Rd, CRn, CRm, opcode_2.

Memory Management Unit (MMU)
The ARM920T processor implements an enhanced ARM architecture v4 MMU to provide translation and access permission checks for the instruction and data address ports
of the ARM9TDMI core. The MMU is controlled from a single set of two-level page
tables stored in the main memory, providing a single address and translation protection
scheme. Independently, instruction and data TLBs in the MMU can be locked and
flushed.

Domain
A domain is a collection of sections and pages. The ARM920T supports 16 domains.
Access to the domains is controlled by the Domain Access Control register. For details,
refer to “CP15 Register 3, Domain Access Control Register” on page 52.
MMU Faults
The MMU generates alignment faults, translation faults, domain faults and permission
faults. Alignment fault checking is not affected by whether the MMU is enabled or not.
The access controls of the MMU detect the conditions that produce these faults. If the
fault is a result of memory access, the MMU aborts the access and signals the fault to
the CPU core.The MMU stores the status and address fault in the FSR and FAR registers (only for faults generated by data access).
The MMU does not store fault information about faults generated by an instruction fetch.
The memory system can abort during line fetches, memory accesses and translation
table access.

AT91RM9200
Caches, Write Buffers and Physical Address
The ARM920T includes an Instruction Cache (ICache), a Data Cache (DCache), a write
buffer and a Physical Address (PA) TAG RAM to reduce the effect on main memory
bandwidth and latency performance.
The ARM920T implements separate 16-Kbyte Instruction and 16-Kbyte Data Caches.
The caches and the write buffer are controlled by the CP15 Register 1 (Control), CP15
Register 7 (Cache Operations) and CP15 Register 9 (Cache Lockdown).
Instruction Cache
(ICache)
The ARM920T includes a 16-Kbyte Instruction Cache (ICache). The ICache has 512
lines of 32 bytes, arranged as a 64-way set associative cache.
Instruction access is subject to MMU permission and translation checks.
If the ICache is enabled with the MMU disabled, all instructions fetched as threats are
cachable. No protection checks are made and the physical address is flat-mapped to the
modified virtual address.
When the ICache is disabled, the cache contents are ignored and all instruction fetches
appear on the AMBA bus.
On reset, the ICache entries are invalidated and the ICache is disabled. For best performance, ICache should be enabled as soon as possible after reset.
The ICache is enabled by writing 1 to I bit of the CP15 Register 1 and disabled by writing
0 to this bit. For more details, see “CP15 Register 1, Control” on page 49.
The ICache is organized as eight segments, each containing 64 lines with each line
made up of 8 words.The position of the line within the segment is called the index and is
numbered from 0 to 63.
A line in the cache is identified by the index and segment. The index is independent of
the MVA (Modified Virtual Address), and the segment is the bit[7:5] of the MVA.
Data Cache (DCache)
and Write Buffer
The ARM920T includes a 16-Kbyte data cache (DCache). The DCache has 512 lines of
32 bytes, arranged as a 64-way set associative cache, and uses MVAs translated by
CP15 Register 13 from the ARM9DTMI core.
DCache
The DCache is organized as eight segments, each containing 64 lines with each line
made up of eight words.The position of the line within the segment is called the index
and is a number from 0 to 63.
The Write Buffer can hold up to 16 words of data and four separate addresses.
DCache and Write Buffer operations are closely connected as their configuration is set
in each section by the page descriptor in the MMU translation table.
All data accesses are subject to MMU permission and translation checks. Data
accesses aborted by the MMU cannot cause linefill or data access via the AMBA ASB
interface.
Write-though Operation
When a cache hit occurs for a data access, the cache line that contains the data is
updated to contains its value. The new data is also immediately written to the main
memory.
Write-back Operation
When a cache hit occurs for a data access, the cache line is marked as dirty, meaning
that its contents are not up-to-date with those in the main memory.
45
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Write Buffer
The ARM920T incorporates a 16-entry write buffer to avoid stalling the processor when
writes to external memory are performed. When a store occurs, its data, address and
other details are written to the write buffer at high speed. The write buffer then completes the store at the main memory speed (typically slower than the ARM speed). In
parallel, the ARM9TDMI processor can execute further instructions at full speed.
Physical Address Tag RAM
(PA TAG RAM)
The ARM920T implements Physical Address Tag RAM (PA TAG RAM) to perform writebacks from the data cache. The physical address of all the lines held in the data cache is
stored in the PA TAG memory, removing the need for address translation when evicting
a line from the cache.
When a line is written into the data cache, the physical address TAG is written into the
PA TAG RAM. If this line has to be written back to the main memory, the PA TAG RAM
is read and the physical address is used by the AMBA ASB interface to perform the
write-back.
For a 16-Kbyte DCache, the PA TAG RAM is organized by eight segments with:
46
•
64 rows per segments
•
26 bits per rows

CP15 Register 5, Fault Status Register
Access: Read/write
Reading the CP 15 Register 5, or Fault Status Register (FSR), returns the source of the last data fault, indicating the

In addition, the virtual address which caused the data abort is written into the Fault Address Register (CP15 Register 6).
Writing the CP 15 Register 5, or Fault Status Register (FSR), sets the FSR to the value of the data written. This is useful for
a debugger to restore the value of the FSR.

Functions Details
•
Wait for interrupt
Stops execution in low-power state until an interrupt occurs.
•
Invalidate
The cache line (or lines) is marked as invalid, so no cache hits occur in that line until it is re-allocated to an address.
•
Clean
Applies to write-back data caches. If the cache line contains stored data that has not yet been written out to the main memory, it is written to main memory immediately.
•
Drain write buffer
Stops the execution until all data in the write buffer has been stored in the main memory.
•
Prefetch
The memory cache line at the specified virtual address is loaded into the cache.

1768B–ATARM–08/03
The operation carried out on a single cache line identifies the line using the data transferred in the MCR instruction.
The data is interpreted as using one of the two formats:
– MVA format
– index format

The CP15 Register 9, or Cache Lockdown Register, is 0x0 on reset. The Cache Lockdown Register allows software to control which cache line in the ICache or DCache is loaded for a linefill. It prevents lines in the ICache or DCache from being
evicted during a linefill, locking them into the cache.
Reading from the CP15 Register 9 returns the value of the Cache Lockdown Register that is the base pointer for all cache
segments.
Only the bits[31:26] are returned; others are unpredictable.
Writing to the CP15 Register 9 updates the Cache Lockdown Register with both the base and the current victim pointers for

Debug and Test Features (DBG Test)
Overview
The AT91RM9200 features a number of complementary debug and test capabilities. A common JTAG/ICE (In-Circuit Emulator) port is used for standard debugging functions such as
downloading code and single-stepping through programs. An ETM (Embedded Trace Macrocell) provides more sophisticated debug features such as address and data comparators, halfrate clock mode, counters, sequencer and FIFO. The Debug Unit provides a two-pin UART
that can be used to upload an application into internal SRAM. It manages the interrupt handling of the internal COMMTX and COMMRX signals that trace the activity of the Debug
Communication Channel.
A set of dedicated debug and test input/output pins give direct access to these capabilities
from a PC-based test environment.

Functional
Description
Test Mode Pins
Two dedicated pins (TST1, TST0) are used to define the test mode of the device. The user
must make sure that these pins are both tied at low level to ensure normal operating conditions. Other values associated to these pins are manufacturing test reserved.
Embedded InCircuit Emulator
The ARM9TDMI Embedded In-Circuit Emulator is supported via the ICE/JTAG port. It is connected to a host computer via an ICE interface. Debug support is implemented using an
ARM9TDMI core embedded within the ARM920T. The internal state of the ARM920T is examined through an ICE/JTAG port which allows instructions to be serially inserted into the
pipeline of the core without using the external data bus. Therefore, when in debug state, a
store-multiple (STM) can be inserted into the instruction pipeline. This exports the contents of
the ARM9TDMI registers. This data can be serially shifted out without affecting the rest of the
system.
There are six scan chains inside the ARM920T processor which support testing, debugging,
and programming of the Embedded ICE. The scan chains are controlled by the ICE/JTAG
port.
Embedded ICE mode is selected when JTAGSEL is low. It is not possible to switch directly
between ICE and JTAG operations. A chip reset must be performed (NRST and NTRST) after
JTAGSEL is changed. The test reset input to the embedded ICE (NTRST) is provided separately to facilitate debug of the boot program.
For further details on the Embedded In-Circuit-Emulator, see the ARM920T Technical Reference Manual, ARM Ltd, - DDI 0151C.
Debug Unit
The Debug Unit provides a two-pin (DXRD and TXRD) UART that can be used for several
debug and trace purposes and offers an ideal means for in-situ programming solutions and
debug monitor communication. Moreover, the link with two peripheral data controller channels
provides packet handling of these tasks with processor time reduced to a minimum.
The Debug Unit also manages the interrupt handling of the COMMTX and COMMRX signals
that come from the ICE and trace the activity of the Debug Communication Channel. The
Debug Unit allows blockage of access to the system through the ICE interface.
The Debug Unit can be used to upload an application into internal SRAM. It is activated by the
boot program when no valid application is detected. The protocol used to load the application
is XMODEM.
A specific register, the Debug Unit Chip ID Register, informs about the product version and its
internal configuration.
AT91RM9200 Debug Unit Chip ID value is: 0x09290781, on 32-bit width.
For further details on the Debug Unit, see the Debug Unit datasheet; Atmel literature number,
2641.
For further details on the Debug Unit and Boot program, see the Boot Program Specifications.
Embedded Trace
Macrocell
The AT91RM9200 features an Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM), which is closely connected
to the ARM9TDMI Processor. The Embedded Trace is a standard mid-level implementation
and contains the following resources:
•
Four pairs of address comparators
•
Two data comparators
65
1768B–ATARM–08/03
•
Eight memory map decoder inputs
•
Two counters
•
One sequencer
•
Four external inputs
•
One external output
•
One 18-byte FIFO
The Embedded Trace Macrocell of the AT91RM9200 works in half-rate clock mode and thus
integrates a clock divider. This assures that the maximum frequency of all the trace port signals do not exceed one half of the ARM920T clock speed.
The Embedded Trace Macrocell input and output resources are not used in the AT91RM9200.
The Embedded Trace is a real-time trace module with the capability of tracing the ARM9TDMI
instruction and data.
The Embedded Trace debug features are only accessible in the AT91RM9200 BGA package.
For further details on Embedded Trace Macrocell, see the ETM9 (Rev2a) Technical Reference Manual, ARM Ltd. -DDI 0157E.
Trace Port
The Trace Port is made up of the following pins:
•
TSYNC - the synchronization signal (Indicates the start of a branch sequence on the trace
packet port.)
•
TCLK - the Trace Port clock, half-rate of the ARM920T processor clock.
•
TPS0 to TPS2 - indicate the processor state at each trace clock edge.
•
TPK0 to TPK15 - the Trace Packet data value.
The trace packet information (address, data) is associated with the processor state indicated
by TPS. Some processor states have no additional data associated with the Trace Packet Port
(i.e. failed condition code of an instruction). The packet is 8-bits wide, and up to two packets
can be output per cycle.

Implementation
Details
This section gives an overview of the Embedded Trace resources. For further details, see the
Embedded Trace Macrocell Specification, ARM Ltd. -IHI 0014H.
Three-state Sequencer
The sequencer has three possible next states (one dedicated to itself and two others) and can
change on every clock cycle. The sate transition is controlled with internal events. If the user
needs multiple-stage trigger schemes, the trigger event is based on a sequencer state.
Address Comparator
In single mode, address comparators compare either the instruction address or the data
address against the user-programmed address.
In range mode, the address comparators are arranged in pairs to form a virtual address range
resource.
Details of the address comparator programming are:
•
The first comparator is programmed with the range start address.
•
The second comparator is programmed with the range end address.
•
The resource matches if the address is within the following range:
–
•
Data Comparator
(address > = range start address) AND (address < range end address)
Unpredictable behavior occurs if the two address comparators are not configurated in the
same way.
Each full address comparator is associated with a specific data comparator. A data comparator is used to observe the data bus only when load and store operations occur.
A data comparator has both a value register and a mask register, therefore it is possible to
compare only certain bits of a preprogrammed value against the data bus.
Memory Decoder Inputs
The eight memory map decoder inputs are connected to custom address decoders. The
address decoders divide the memory into regions of on-chip SRAM, on-chip ROM, and peripherals. The address decoders also optimize the ETM9 trace trigger.

An 18-byte FIFO is used to store data tracing. The FIFO is used to separate the pipeline status
from the trace packet. So, the FIFO can be used to buffer trace packets.
A FIFO overflow is detected by the embedded trace macrocell when the FIFO is full or when
the FIFO has less bytes than the user-programmed number.
For further details, see the ETM9 (Rev2a) Technical Reference Manual, ARM Ltd. DDI 0157E.

1768B–ATARM–08/03
Half-rate Clocking Mode
The ETM9 is implemented in half-rate mode that allows both rising and falling edge data tracing of the trace clock.
The half-rate mode is implemented to maintain the signal clock integrity of high speed systems
(up to 100 Mhz).

Half-rate Clocking Mode
Care must be taken on the choice of the trace capture system as it needs to support half-rate
clock functionality.
Application Board
Restriction
The TCLK signal needs to be set with care, some timing parameters are required.
Refer to AT91RM9200 “JTAG/ICE Timings” on page 621 and “ETM Timings” on page 624.
The specified target system connector is the AMP Mictor connector.
The connector must be oriented on the application board as described below in Figure 14. The
view of the PCB is shown from above with the trace connector mounted near the edge of the
board. This allows the Trace Port Analyzer to minimize the physical intrusiveness of the interconnected target.

IEEE 1149.1 JTAG
Boundary Scan
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan allows pin-level access independent of the device packaging technology.
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan is enabled when JTAGSEL is high. The SAMPLE,
EXTEST and BYPASS functions are implemented. In ICE debug mode, the ARM processor
responds with a non-JTAG chip ID that identifies the processor to the ICE system. This is not
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG-compliant.
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.
Two Boundary Scan Descriptor Language (BSDL) files are provided to set up testing. Each
BSDL file is dedicated to a specific packaging.
JTAG Boundary Scan
Register
The Boundary Scan Register (BSR) contains 449 bits which correspond to active pins and
associated control signals.
Each AT91RM9200 input pin has a corresponding bit in the Boundary Scan Register for
observability.
Each AT91RM9200 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 AT91RM9200 input/output 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 facilitates the observability of
data applied to the pad. The CTRL bit selects the direction of the pad.

Boot Program
Overview
The Boot Program downloads an application in any of the AT91 products integrating a ROM. It
integrates a Bootloader and a boot Uploader to assure correct information download.
The Bootloader is activated first. It looks for a sequence of eight valid ARM exception vectors
in a DataFlash connected to the SPI, an EEPROM connected to the Two-wire Interface (TWI)
or an 8-bit memory device connected to the external bus interface (EBI) (if device integrates
EBI). All these vectors must be B-branch or LDR load register instructions except for the sixth
instruction. This vector is used to store information, such as the size of the image to download
and the type of DataFlash device.
If a valid sequence is found, code is downloaded into the internal SRAM. This is followed by a
remap and a jump to the first address of the SRAM.
If no valid ARM vector sequence is found, the boot Uploader is started. It initializes the Debug
Unit serial port (DBGU) and the USB Device Port. It then waits for any transaction and downloads a piece of code into the internal SRAM via a Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) protocol
for USB and XMODEM protocol for the DBGU. After the end of the download, it branches to
the application entry point at the first address of the SRAM.
The main features of the Boot Program are:
•
Default Boot Program stored in ROM-based products
•
Downloads and runs an application from external storage media into internal SRAM
•
Downloaded code size depends on embedded SRAM size
•
Automatic detection of valid application
•
Bootloader supporting a wide range of non-volatile memories
–
SPI DataFlash® connected on SPI NPCS0
–
Two-wire EEPROM
–
8-bit parallel memories on NCS0 (if device integrates EBI)
•
Boot Uploader in case no valid program is detected in external NVM and supporting
several communication media
•
Serial communication on a DBGU (XModem protocol)
•
USB Device Port (DFU Protocol)

Bootloader
The Boot Program is started from address 0x0000_0000 (ARM reset vector) when the on-chip
boot mode is selected (BMS high during the reset, only on devices with EBI integrated). The
first operation is the search for a valid program in the off-chip non-volatile memories. If a valid
application is found, this application is loaded into internal SRAM and executed by branching
at address 0x0000_0000 after remap. This application may be the application code or a second-level Bootloader.
To optimize the downloaded application code size, the Boot Program embeds several functions that can be reused by the application. The Boot Program is linked at address
0x0010_0000 but the internal ROM is mapped at both 0x0000_0000 and 0x0010_0000 after
reset. All the call to functions is PC relative and does not use absolute addresses. The ARM
vectors are present at both addresses, 0x0000_0000 and 0x0010_0000.
To access the functions in ROM, a structure containing chip descriptor and function entry
points is defined at a fixed address in ROM.
If no valid application is detected, the debug serial port or the USB device port must be connected to allow the upload. A specific application provided by Atmel (DFU uploader) loads the
application into internal SRAM through the USB. To load the application through the debug
serial port, a terminal application (HyperTerminal) running the Xmodem protocol is required.

Valid Image
Detection
The Bootloader software looks for a valid application by analyzing the first 32 bytes corresponding to the ARM exception vectors. These bytes must implement ARM instructions for
either branch or load PC with PC relative addressing. The sixth vector, at offset 0x18, contains
the size of the image to download and the DataFlash parameters.
The user must replace this vector with his own vector.

Bootloader
Sequence
The Boot Program performs device initialization followed by the download procedure. If unsuccessful, the upload is done via the USB or debug serial port.
Device Initialization
Initialization follows the steps described below:
1. PLL setup
–
PLLB is initialized to generate a 48 MHz clock necessary to use the USB Device. A
register located in the Power Management Controller (PMC) determines the
frequency of the main oscillator and thus the correct factor for the PLLB.
Table 22 defines the crystals supported by the Boot Program.

Download Procedure
90
The download procedure checks for a valid boot on several devices. The first device checked
is a serial DataFlash connected to the NPCS0 of the SPI, followed by the serial EEPROM connected to the TWI and by an 8-bit parallel memory connected on NCS0 of the External Bus
Interface (if EBI is implemented in the product).

The Boot Program supports all Atmel DataFlash devices. Table 21 summarizes the parameters to include in the ARM vector 6 for all devices.
The DataFlash has a Status Register that determines all the parameters required to access
the device.
Thus, to be compatible with the future design of the DataFlash, parameters are coded in the
ARM vector 6.

Boot Uploader
If no valid boot device has been found during the Bootloader sequence, initialization of serial
communication devices (DBGU and USB device ports) is performed.
–
Initialization of the DBGU serial port (115200 bauds, 8, N, 1) and Xmodem protocol
start
–
Initialization of the USB Device Port and DFU protocol start
–
Download of the application
The boot Uploader performs the DFU and Xmodem protocols to upload the application into
internal SRAM at address 0x0020_0000.
The Boot Program uses a piece of internal SRAM for variables and stacks. To prevent any
upload error, the size of the application to upload must be less than the SRAM size minus 3K
bytes.
After the download, the peripheral registers are reset, the interrupts are disabled and the
remap is performed. After the remap, the internal SRAM is at address 0x0000_0000 and the
internal ROM at address 0x0010_0000. The instruction setting the PC to 0 is the one just after
the remap command. This instruction is fetched in the pipe before doing the remap and executed just after. This fetch cycle executes the downloaded image.
External
Communication
Channels
DBGU Serial Port
The upload is performed through the DBGU serial port initialized to 115200 Baud, 8, n, 1.
The DBGU sends the character ‘C’ (0x43) to start an Xmodem protocol. Any terminal performing this protocol can be used to send the application file to the target. The size of the binary file
to send depends on the SRAM size embedded in the product (Refer to the microcontroller
datasheet to determine SRAM size embedded in the microcontroller). In all cases, the size of
the binary file must be lower than SRAM size because the Xmodem protocol requires some
SRAM memory to work.
Xmodem Protocol
The Xmodem protocol supported is the 128-byte length block. This protocol uses a two character CRC-16 to guarantee detection of a maximum bit error.
Xmodem protocol with CRC is accurate provided both sender and receiver report successful
transmission. Each block of the transfer looks like:
<SOH><blk #><255-blk #><--128 data bytes--><checksum> in which:
–
<SOH> = 01 hex
–
<blk #> = binary number, starts at 01, increments by 1, and wraps 0FFH to 00H
(not to 01)
–
<255-blk #> = 1’s complement of the blk#.
–
<checksum> = 2 bytes CRC16
Figure 23 shows a transmission using this protocol.

USB Device Port
A 48 MHz USB clock is necessary to use USB Device port. It has been programmed earlier in
the device initialization with PLLB configuration.
DFU Protocol
The DFU allows upgrade of the firmware of USB devices. The DFU algorithm is a part of the
USB specification. For more details, refer to “USB Device Firmware Upgrade Specification,
Rev. 1.0”.
There are four distinct steps when carrying out a firmware upgrade:
1. Enumeration: The device informs the host of its capabilities.
2. Reconfiguration: The host and the device agree to initiate a firmware upgrade.
3. Transfer: The host transfers the firmware image to the device. Status requests are
employed to maintain synchronization between the host and the device.
4. Manifestation: Once the device reports to the host that it has completed the reprogramming operations, the host issues a reset and the device executes the upgraded
firmware.

Hardware and
Software
Constraints
The software limitations of the Boot Program are:
•
The downloaded code size is less than the SRAM size embedded in the product.
•
The device address of the EEPROM must be 0 on the TWI bus.
•
The code is always downloaded from the device address 0x0000_0000 (DataFlash,
EEPROM) to the address 0x0000_0000 of the internal SRAM (after remap).
•
The downloaded code must be position-independent or linked at address 0x0000_0000.
The hardware limitations of the Boot Program are:
•
The DataFlash must be connected to NPCS0 of the SPI.
•
The 8-bit parallel Flash must be connected to NCS0 of the EBI (applicable for devices with
integrated EBI).
The SPI and TWI drivers use several PIOs in alternate functions to communicate with devices.
Care must be taken when these PIOs are used by the application. The devices connected
could be unintentionally driven at boot time, and electrical conflicts between SPI or TWI output
pins and the connected devices may appear.
To assure correct functionality, it is recommended to plug in critical devices to other pins or to
boot on an external 16-bit parallel memory (if product integrates an EBI) by setting bit BMS.
Table 24 contains a list of pins that are driven during the Boot Program execution. These pins
are driven during the boot sequence for a period of about 6 ms if no correct boot program is
found. The download through the TWI takes about 5 sec for 64K bytes due to the TWI bit rate
(100 Kbits/s).
For the DataFlash driven by SPCK signal at 12 MHz, the time to download 64K bytes is
reduced to 66 ms.
Before performing the jump to the application in internal SRAM, all the PIOs and peripherals
used in the Boot Program are set to their reset state.

Embedded Software Services
Overview
An embedded software service is an independent software object that drives device resources
for frequently implemented tasks. The object-oriented approach of the software provides an
easy way to access services to build applications.
An AT91 service has several purposes:
•
It gives software examples dedicated to the AT91 devices.
•
It can be used on several AT91 device families.
•
It offers an interface to the software stored in the ROM.
The main features of the software services are:
•
Compliant with ATPCS
•
Compliant with ANSI/ISO Standard C
•
Compiled in ARM/Thumb Interworking
•
ROM Entry Service
•
Tempo, Xmodem and DataFlash services
•
CRC and Sine tables
Service Definition
Service Structure
Structure Definition
A service structure is defined in C header files.
This structure is composed of data members and pointers to functions (methods) and is similar
to a class definition. There is no protection of data access or methods access. However, some
functions can be used by the customer application or other services and so be considered as
public methods. Similarly, other functions are not invoked by them. They can be considered as
private methods. This is also valid for data.
Methods
In the service structure, pointers to functions are supposed to be initialized by default to the
standard functions. Only the default standard functions reside in ROM. Default methods can
be overloaded by custom application methods.
Methods do not declare any static variables nor invoke global variables. All methods are
invoked with a pointer to the service structure. A method can access and update service data
without restrictions.
Similarly, there is no polling in the methods. In fact, there is a method to start the functionality
(a read to give an example), a method to get the status (is the read achieved?), and a callback, initialized by the start method. Thus, using service, the client application carries out a
synchronous read by starting the read and polling the status, or an asynchronous read specifying a callback when starting the read operation.
Service Entry Point
Each AT91 service, except for the ROM Entry Service (see page 101), defines a function
named AT91F_Open_<Service>. It is the only entry point defined for a service. Even if the
functions AT91F_Open_<Service> may be compared with object constructors, they do not
act as constructors in that they initiate the service structure but they do not allocate it. Thus the
customer application must allocate it.
97
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Example
// Allocation of the service structure
AT91S_Pipe pipe;
// Opening of the service
AT91PS_Pipe pPipe = AT91F_OpenPipe(&pipe, …);
Method pointers in the service structure are initialized to the default methods defined in the
AT91 service. Other fields in the service structure are initialized to default values or with the
arguments of the function AT91F_Open_<Service>.
In summary, an application must know what the service structure is and where the function
AT91F_Open_<Service> is.
The default function AT91F_Open_<Service> may be redefined by the application or comprised in an application-defined function.
Using a Service
Opening a Service
The entry point to a service is established by initializing the service structure. An open function
is associated with each service structure, except for the ROM Entry Service (see page 101).
Thus, only the functions AT91F_Open_<service> are visible from the user side. Access to
the service methods is made via function pointers in the service structure.
The function AT91F_Open_<service> has at least one argument: a pointer to the service
structure that must be allocated elsewhere. It returns a pointer to the base service structure or
a pointer to this service structure.
The function AT91F_Open_<service> initializes all data members and method pointers. All
function pointers in the service structure are set to the service’s functions.
The advantage of this method is to offer a single entry point for a service. The methods of a
service are initialized by the open function and each member can be overloaded.
Overloading a Method
Default methods are defined for all services provided in ROM. These methods may not be
adapted to a project requirement. It is possible to overload default methods by methods
defined in the project.
A me th o d i s a p o in te r t o a f u nc t io n . Th i s po i nt er i s i ni t i al i z ed b y t h e fu n c ti o n
AT91F_Open_<Service>. To overload one or several methods in a service, the function
pointer must be updated to the new method.
It is possible to overload just one method of a service or all the methods of a service. In this
latter case, the functionality of the service is user-defined, but still works on the same data
structure.
Note:
98
Calling the default function AT91F_Open_<Service> ensures that all methods and data are
initialized.
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
This can be done by writing a new function My_OpenService(). This new Open function
must call the library-defined function AT91F_Open_<Service>, and then update one or several function pointers:

}

Embedded Software Services
Definition
Several AT91 products embed ROM. In most cases, the ROM integrates a bootloader and
several services that may speed up the application and reduce the application code size.
When software is fixed in the ROM, the address of each object (function, constant, table, etc.)
must be related to a customer application. This is done by providing an address table to the
linker. For each version of ROM, a new address table must be provided and all client applications must be recompiled.
The Embedded Software Services offer another solution to access objects stored in ROM. For
each embedded service, the customer application requires only the address of the Service
Entry Point (see page 97).
Even if these services have only one entry point (AT91F_Open_<Service> function), they must
be specified to the linker. The Embedded Software Services solve this problem by providing a
dedicated service: the ROM Entry Service.
The goal of this product-dedicated service is to provide just one address to access all ROM
functionalities.
ROM Entry Service
The ROM Entry Service of a product is a structure named AT91S_RomBoot. Some members of
this structure point to the open functions of all services stored in ROM (function
AT91F_Open_<Service>) but also the CRC and Sine Arrays. Thus, only the address of the
AT91S_RomBoot has to be published.
Table 27. Initialization of the ROM Entry Service and Use with an Open Service Method
Application Memory Space
ROM Memory Space
// Init the ROM Entry Service
AT91S_RomBoot const *pAT91;
pAT91 = AT91C_ROM_BOOT_ADDRESS;
AT91S_TempoStatus AT91F_OpenCtlTempo(
AT91PS_CtlTempo pCtlTempo,
void const *pTempoTimer )
{
// Allocation of the service structure
AT91S_CtlTempo tempo;
// Call the Service Open method
pAT91->OpenCtlTempo(&tempo, ...);
// Use of tempo methods
tempo.CtlTempoCreate(&tempo, ...);
...
}
AT91S_TempoStatus AT91F_CtlTempoCreate (
AT91PS_CtlTempo pCtrl,
AT91PS_SvcTempo pTempo)
{
...
}
The application obtains the address of the ROM Entry Service and initializes an instance of
the AT91S_RomBoot structure. To obtain the Open Service Method of another service stored in
ROM, the application uses the appropriate member of the AT91S_RomBoot structure.
The address of the AT91S_RomBoot can be found at the beginning of the ROM, after the
exception vectors.

Tempo Service
Presentation
The Tempo Service allows a single hardware system timer to support several software timers
running concurrently. This works as an object notifier.
There are two objects defined to control the Tempo Service: AT91S_CtlTempo and
AT91S_SvcTempo.
The application declares one instance of AT91S_CtlTempo associated with the hardware
system timer. Additionally, it controls a list of instances of AT91S_SvcTempo.
Each time the application requires another timer, it asks the AT91S_CtlTempo to create a
new instance of AT91S_SvcTempo, then the application initializes all the settings of
AT91S_SvcTempo.

1768B–ATARM–08/03
Using the Service
The first step is to find the address of the open service method AT91F_OpenCtlTempo using
the ROM Entry Service.
Allocate one instance of AT91S_CtlTempo and AT91S_SvcTempo in the application memory space:
// Allocate the service and the control tempo
AT91S_CtlTempo ctlTempo;
AT91S_SvcTempo svcTempo1;
Initialize the AT91S_CtlTempo instance by calling the AT91F_OpenCtlTempo function:
// Initialize service
pAT91->OpenCtlTempo(&ctlTempo, (void *) &(pAT91->SYSTIMER_DESC));
At this stage, the application can use the AT91S_CtlTempo service members.
If the application wants to overload an object member, it can be done now. For example, if
AT91F_CtlTempoCreate(&ctlTempo, &svcTempo1) method is to be replaced by the application defined as my_CtlTempoCreate(...), the procedure is as follows:
// Overload AT91F_CtlTempoCreate
ctlTempo.CtlTempoCreate = my_CtlTempoCreate;
In most cases, initialize the AT91S_SvcTempo object by calling the
AT91F_CtlTempoCreate method of the AT91S_CtlTempo service:
// Init the svcTempo1, link it to the AT91S_CtlTempo object
ctlTempo.CtlTempoCreate(&ctlTempo, &svcTempo1);
Start the timeout by calling Start method of the svcTempo1 object. Depending on the function
parameters, either a callback is started at the end of the countdown or the status of the timeout is checked by reading the TickTempo member of the svcTempo1 object.
// Start the timeout
svcTempo1.Start(&svcTempo1,100,0,NULL,NULL);
// Wait for the timeout of 100 (unity depends on the timer programmation)
// No repetition and no callback.
while (svcTempo1.TickTempo);
When the application needs another software timer to control a timeout, it:
•
Allocates one instance of AT91S_SvcTempo in the application memory space
// Allocate the service
AT91S_SvcTempo svcTempo2;
•
Initializes the AT91S_SvcTempo object calling the AT91F_CtlTempoCreate method of
the AT91S_CtlTempo service:
// Init the svcTempo2, link it to the AT91S_CtlTempo object
ctlTempo.CtlTempoCreate(&ctlTempo, &svcTempo2);

Xmodem Service
Presentation
The Xmodem service is an application of the communication pipe abstract layer. This layer is
media-independent (USART, USB, etc.) and gives entry points to carry out reads and writes
on an abstract media, the pipe.
Communication Pipe
Service
The pipe communication structure is a virtual structure that contains all the functions required
to read and write a buffer, regardless of the communication media and the memory
management.
The pipe structure defines:
•
a pointer to a communication service structure AT91PS_SvcComm
•
a pointer to a buffer manager structure AT91PS_Buffer
•
pointers on read and write functions
•
pointers to callback functions associated to the read and write functions
The following structure defines the pipe object:
typedef struct _AT91S_Pipe
{
// A pipe is linked with a peripheral and a buffer
AT91PS_SvcComm pSvcComm;
AT91PS_Buffer
pBuffer;
// Callback functions with their arguments
void (*WriteCallback) (AT91S_PipeStatus, void *);
void (*ReadCallback)
(AT91S_PipeStatus, void *);
void *pPrivateReadData;
void *pPrivateWriteData;
// Pipe methods
AT91S_PipeStatus (*Write) (
struct _AT91S_Pipe
*pPipe,
char const *
pData,
unsigned int
size,
void
(*callback) (AT91S_PipeStatus, void *),

char (*IsReceived) (struct _AT91S_Pipe *pPipe,char const *pVoid);
} AT91S_Pipe, *AT91PS_Pipe;
The Xmodem protocol implementation demonstrates how to use the communication pipe.

Description of the Buffer
Structure
The AT91PS_Buffer is a pointer to the AT91S_Buffer structure manages the buffers. This
structure embeds the following functions:
•
pointers to functions that manage the read buffer
•
pointers to functions that manage the write buffer
All the functions can be overloaded by the application to adapt buffer management.
A simple implementation of buffer management for the Xmodem Service is provided in the
boot ROM source code.
typedef struct _AT91S_Buffer
{
struct _AT91S_Pipe *pPipe;
void *pChild;
// Functions invoked by the pipe
AT91S_BufferStatus (*SetRdBuffer)
*pBuffer, unsigned int Size);

Description of the
SvcComm Structure
The SvcComm structure provides the interface between low-level functions and the pipe
object.
It contains pointers of functions initialized to the lower level functions (e.g. SvcXmodem).
The Xmodem Service implementation gives an example of SvcComm use.
typedef struct _AT91S_Service
{
// Methods:
AT91S_SvcCommStatus (*Reset)
(struct _AT91S_Service *pService);
AT91S_SvcCommStatus (*StartTx)(struct _AT91S_Service *pService);

Description of the
SvcXmodem Structure
The SvcXmodem service is a reusable implementation of the Xmodem protocol. It supports
only the 128-byte packet format and provides read and write functions. The SvcXmodem
structure defines:
•
a pointer to a handler initialized to readHandler or writeHandler
•
a pointer to a function that processes the xmodem packet crc
•
a pointer to a function that checks the packet header
•
a pointer to a function that checks data
With this structure, the Xmodem protocol can be used with all media (USART, USB, etc.).
Only private methods may be overloaded to adapt the Xmodem protocol to a new media.
The default implementation of the Xmodem uses a USART to send and receive packets. Read
and write functions implement peripheral data controller facilities to reduce interrupt overhead.
It assumes the USART is initialized, the memory buffer allocated and the interrupts
programmed.
A periodic timer is required by the service to manage timeouts and the periodic transmission of
the character “C” (Refer to Xmodem protocol). This feature is provided by the Tempo Service.
The following structure defines the Xmodem Service:
typedef struct _AT91PS_SvcXmodem {
// Public Methods:
AT91S_SvcCommStatus (*Handler) (struct _AT91PS_SvcXmodem *, unsigned int);
AT91S_SvcCommStatus (*StartTx) (struct _AT91PS_SvcXmodem *, unsigned int);

Using the Service
The first step is to find the address of the open service method
the ROM Entry Service.
AT91F_OpenSvcDataFlash
using
1. Allocate one instance of AT91S_SvcDataFlash and AT91S_Dataflash in the application
memory space:
// Allocate the service and a device structure.
AT91S_SvcDataFlash svcDataFlash;
AT91S_Dataflash Device; // member of AT91S_SvcDataFlash service
Then initialize the
function:
AT91S_SvcDataFlash
instance by calling the
AT91F_OpenSvcDataFlash
// Initialize service
pAT91->OpenSvcDataFlash (AT91C_BASE_PMC, &svcDataFlash);
2. Initialize the SPI
Interrupt:
// Initialize the SPI Interrupt
at91_irq_open ( AT91C_BASE_AIC,AT91C_ID_SPI,3,
AT91C_AIC_SRCTYPE_INT_LEVEL_SENSITIVE ,AT91F_spi_asm_handler);
3. Configure the DataFlash structure with its correct features and link it to the device
structure in the AT91S_SvcDataFlash service structure:
// Example with an ATMEL AT45DB321B DataFlash
Device.pages_number = 8192;
Device.pages_size = 528;
Device.page_offset = 10;
Device.byte_mask = 0x300;
// Link to the service structure
svcDataFlash.pDevice = &Device;
4. Now the different methods can be used. Following is an example of a Page Read of
528 bytes on page 50:
// Result of the read operation in RxBufferDataFlash
unsigned char RxBufferDataFlash[528];
svcDataFlash.PageRead(&svcDataFlash,
(50*528),RxBufferDataFlash,528);

AT91RM9200
AT91RM9200 Reset Controller
Overview
This chapter describes the AT91RM9200 reset signals and how to use them in order to assure
correct operation of the device.
The AT91RM9200 has two reset input lines called NRST and NTRST. Each line provides,
respectively:
•
•
Initialization of the User Interface registers (defined in the user interface of each
peripheral) and:
–
Sample the signals needed at bootup
–
Compel the processor to fetch the next instruction at address zero.
Initialization of the embedded ICE TAP controller.
The NRST signal must be considered as the System Reset signal and the reader must take
care when designing the logic to drive this reset signal. NTRST is typically used by the hardware debug interface which uses the In-Circuit Emulator unit and Initializes it without affecting
the normal operation of the ARM® processor. This line shall also be driven by an on board
logic.
Both NRST and NTRST are active low signals that asynchronously reset the logic in the
AT91RM92000.
Reset Conditions
NRST Conditions
NRST is the active low reset input. When power is first applied to the system, a power-on reset
(also denominated as “cold” reset) must be applied to the AT91RM9200. During this transient
state, it is mandatory to hold the reset signal low long enough for the power supply to reach a
working nominal level and for the oscillator to reach a stable operating frequency. Typically,
these features are provided by every power supply supervisor which, under a threshold voltage limit, the electrical environment is considered as not nominal. Power-up is not the only
event to be be considered as power-down or a brownout are also occurrences that assert the
NRST signal. The threshold voltage must be selected according to the minimum operating
voltage of the AT91RM9200 power supply lines marked as VDD in Figure 25. (See “DC Characteristics” on page 596.)
The choice of the reset holding delay depends on the start-up time of the low frequency oscillator as shown below in Figure 25. (See “32 kHz Oscillator Characteristics” on page 599.)

1768B–ATARM–08/03
NRST can also be asserted in circumstances other than the power-up sequence, such as a
manual command. This assertion can be performed asynchronously, but exit from reset is
synchronized internally to the default active clock. During normal operation, NRST must be
active for a minimum delay time to ensure correct behavior. See Figure 26 and Table 33.

NTRST Assertion
As with the NRST signal, at power-up, the NTRST signal must be valid while the power supply
has not obtained the the minimum recommended working level. (See “DC Characteristics” on
page 596.). A clock on TCK is not required to validate this reset request.
As with the NRST signal, NTRST can also be asserted in circumstances other than the powerup sequence, such as a manual command or an ICE Interface action. This assertion and deassertion can be performed asynchronously but must be active for a minimum delay time.
(See “JTAG/ICE Timings” on page 621.)
Reset
Management
System Reset
The system reset functionality is provided through the NRST signal.
This Reset signal is used to compel the microcontroller unit to assume a set of initial
conditions:
•
Sample the Boot Mode Select (BMS) logical state.
•
Restore the default states (default values) of the user interface.
•
Require the processor to perform the next instruction fetch from address zero.
With the exception of the program counter and the Current Program Status Register, the processor’s registers do not have defined reset states. When the microcontroller’s NRST input is
asserted, the processor immediately stops execution of the current instruction independently
of the clock.
The system reset circuitry must take two types of reset requests into account:
•
The cold reset needed for the power-up sequence.
•
The user reset request.
Both have the same effect but can have different assertion time requirements regarding the
NRST pin. In fact, the cold reset assertion has to overlap the start-up time of the system. The
user reset request requires a shorter assertion delay time than does cold reset.
Test Reset
120
Test reset functionality is provided through the NTRST signal.
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
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 Boundary Scan Mode, after a NTRST assertion, the IDCODE instruction is set onto the output of the instruction register in the Test-Logic-Reset controller state.
Otherwise, in ICE Mode, the reset action is as follows:
• The core exits from Debug Mode.
• The IDCORE instruction is requested.
In either Boundary Scan or ICE Mode a reset can be performed from the same or different circuitry, as shown in Figure 27 below, upon system reset at power-up or upon user request.

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 27 above. However, once Debug is completed, both signals are easily
managed together during production as shown in example (2) of Figure 27 above.

Functional
Description
The Memory Controller (MC) handles the internal ASB bus and arbitrates the accesses of up
to four masters.
It is made up of:
•
A bus arbiter
•
An address decoder
•
An abort status
•
A misalignment detector
The Memory Controller handles only little-endian mode accesses. All masters must work in little-endian mode only.
Bus Arbiter
The Memory Controller has a user-programmable bus arbiter. Each master can be assigned a
priority between 0 and 7, where 7 is the highest level. The bus arbiter is programmed in the
register MC_MPR (Master Priority Register).
The same priority level can be assigned to more than one master. If requests occur from two
masters having the same priority level, the following default priority is used by the bus arbiter
to determine the first to serve: Master 0, Master 1, Master 2, Master 3.
The masters are:
Address Decoder
•
the ARM920T as the Master 0
•
the Peripheral Data Controller as the Master 1
•
the USB Host Port as the Master 2
•
the Ethernet MAC as the Master 3
The Memory Controller features an Address Decoder that first decodes the four highest bits of
the 32-bit address bus and defines 11 separate areas:
•
One 256-Mbyte address space for the internal memories
•
Eight 256-Mbyte address spaces, each assigned to one of the eight chip select lines of the
External Bus Interface
•
One 256-Mbyte address space reserved for the embedded peripherals
•
An undefined address space of 1536M bytes that returns an Abort if accessed

Internal Memory
Mapping
Within the Internal Memory address space, the Address Decoder of the Memory Controller
decodes eight more address bits to allocate 1-Mbyte address spaces for the embedded
memories.
The allocated memories are accessed all along the 1-Mbyte address space and so are
repeated n times within this address space, n equaling 1M byte divided by the size of the
memory.
When the address of the access is undefined within the internal memory area, i.e. over the
address 0x0040 0000, the Address Decoder returns an Abort to the master.

Area 0
Depending on the BMS pin state at reset and as a function of the remap command, the memory mapped at address 0x0 is different. Before execution of the remap command the on-chip
ROM (BMS = 1) or the non-volatile memory connected to external chip select zero (BMS = 0)
is mapped into Internal Memory Area 0. After the remap command, the internal SRAM at
address 0x0020 0000 is mapped into Internal Memory Area 0. The memory mapped into Internal Memory Area 0 is accessible in both its original location and at address 0x0.
The first 32 bytes of Internal Memory Area 0 contain the ARM processor exception vectors.

Internal SRAM
The BMS pin state allows the device to boot out of an internal or external boot memory, actually the input level on the BMS pin during the last 2 clock cycles, before the reset selects the
type of boot memory according to the following conditions:
•
If high, the Internal ROM, which is generally mapped within the Internal Memory Area 1,
is also accessible through the Internal Memory Area 0
•
If low, the External Memory Area 0, which is generally accessible from address 0x1000
0000, is also accessible through the Internal Memory Area 0.
The BMS pin is multiplexed with an I/O line. After reset, this pin can be used as any standard
PIO line.
Remap Command
After execution, the Remap Command causes the Internal SRAM to be accessed through the
Internal Memory Area 0.
As the ARM vectors (Reset, Abort, Data Abort, Prefetch Abort, Undefined Instruction, Interrupt, and Fast Interrupt) are mapped from address 0x0 to address 0x20, the Remap
Command allows the user to redefine dynamically these vectors under software control.
The Remap Command is accessible through the Memory Controller User Interface by writing
the MC_RCR (Remap Control Register) RCB field to one.
127
1768B–ATARM–08/03
The Remap Command can be cancelled by writing the MC_RCR RCB field to one, which acts
as a toggling command. This allows easy debug of the user-defined boot sequence by offering
a simple way to put the chip in the same configuration as just after a reset.
Table 35 on page 127 is provided to summarize the effect of these two key features on the
nature of the memory mapped to the address 0x0.
Abort Status
There are two reasons for an abort to occur:
•
an access to an undefined address
•
an access to a misaligned address.
When an abort occurs, a signal is sent back to all the masters, regardless of which one has
generated the access. However, only the master having generated the access leading to the
abort takes this signal into account.
The abort signal generates directly an abort on the ARM9TDMI. Note that, from the processor
perspective, an abort can also be generated by the Memory Management Unit of the
ARM920T, but this is obviously not managed by the Memory Controller and not discussed in
this section.
The Peripheral Data Controller does not handle the abort input signal (and that’s why the connection is not represented in Figure 28). The UHP reports an unrecoverable error in the
HcInterruptStatus register and resets its operations. The EMAC reports the Abort to the user
through the ABT bit in its Status Register, which might generate an interrupt.
To facilitate debug or for fault analysis by an operating system, the Memory Controller integrates an Abort Status register set.
The full 32-bit wide abort address is saved in the Abort Address Status Register (MC_AASR).
Parameters of the access are saved in the Abort Status Register (MC_ASR) and include:
•
the size of the request (ABTSZ field)
•
the type of the access, whether it is a data read or write or a code fetch (ABTTYP field)
•
whether the access is due to accessing an undefined address (UNDADD bit) or a
misaligned address (MISADD bit)
•
the source of the access leading to the last abort (MST0, MST1, MST2 and MST3 bits)
•
whether or not an abort occurred for each master since the last read of the register
(SVMST0, SVMST1, SVMST2 and SVMST3 bits) except if it is traced in the MST bits.
In case of Data Abort from the processor, the address of the data access is stored. This is
probably the most useful, as finding which address has generated the abort would require disassembling the instruction and full knowledge of the processor context.
However, in case of prefetch abort, the address might have changed, as the prefetch abort is
pipelined in the ARM processor. The ARM processor takes the prefetch abort into account
only if the read instruction is actually executed and it is probable that several aborts have
occurred during this time. So, in this case, it is preferable to use the content of the Abort Link
register of the ARM processor.
Misalignment
Detector
The Memory Controller features a Misalignment Detector that checks the consistency of the
accesses.
For each access, regardless of the master, the size of access and the 0 and 1 bits of the
address bus are checked. If the type of access is a word (32-bit) and the 0 and 1 bits are not 0,
or if the type of the access is a half-word (16-bit) and the 0 bit is not 0, an abort is returned to
the master and the access is cancelled. Note that the accesses of the ARM processor when it
is fetching instructions are not checked.

The misalignments are generally due to software errors leading to wrong pointer handling.
These errors are particularly difficult to detect in the debug phase.
As the requested address is saved in the Abort Status and the address of the instruction generating the misalignment is saved in the Abort Link Register of the processor, detection and
correction of this kind of software error is simplified.
Memory Controller
Interrupt
The Memory Controller itself does not generate any interrupt. However, as indicated in Figure
28, the Memory Controller receives an interrupt signal from the External Bus Interface, which
might be activated in case of Refresh Error detected by the SDRAM Controller. This interrupt
signal just transits through the Memory Controller, which can neither enable/disable it nor
return its activity.
This Memory Controller interrupt signal is ORed with the other System Peripheral interrupt
lines (RTC, ST, DBGU, PMC) to provide the System Interrupt on Source 1 of the Advanced
Interrupt Controller.

External Bus Interface (EBI)
Overview
The External Bus Interface (EBI) is designed to ensure the successful data transfer between
several external devices and the embedded Memory Controller of an ARM®-based device.
The Static Memory, SDRAM and Burst Flash Controllers are all featured external Memory
Controllers on the EBI. These external Memory Controllers are capable of handling several
types of external memory and peripheral devices, such as SRAM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM,
Flash, SDRAM and Burst Flash.
The EBI also supports the CompactFlash and the SmartMedia protocols via integrated circuitry that greatly reduces the requirements for external components. Furthermore, the EBI
handles data transfers with up to eight external devices, each assigned to eight address
spaces defined by the embedded Memory Controller. Data transfers are performed through a
16-bit or 32-bit data bus, an address bus of up to 26 bits, up to eight chip select lines
(NCS[7:0]) and several control pins that are generally multiplexed between the different external Memory Controllers.
Features of the EBI are:
•
Integrates Three External Memory Controllers:
–
Static Memory Controller
–
SDRAM Controller
–
Burst Flash Controller
•
Additional Logic for SmartMediaTM and CompactFlashTM Support
•
Optimized External Bus:
•
–
16- or 32-bit Data Bus
–
Up to 26-bit Address Bus, Up to 64-Mbytes Addressable
–
Up to 8 Chip Selects, Each Reserved to One of the Eight Memory Areas
–
Optimized Pin Multiplexing to Reduce Latencies on External Memories
Configurable Chip Select Assignment:
–
Burst Flash Controller or Static Memory Controller on NCS0
–
SDRAM Controller or Static Memory Controller on NCS1
–
Static Memory Controller on NCS3, Optional SmartMedia Support
–
Static Memory Controller on NCS4 - NCS6, Optional CompactFlash Support
–

I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the External Bus Interface may be multiplexed with the PIO lines.
The programmer must first program the PIO controller to assign the External Bus Interface
pins to their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the External Bus Interface are not used by the
application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO Controller.
Functional
Description
The EBI transfers data between the internal ASB Bus (handled by the Memory Controller) and
the external memories or peripheral devices. It controls the waveforms and the parameters of
the external address, data and control busses and is composed of the following elements:
Bus Multiplexing
•
The Static Memory Controller (SMC)
•
The SDRAM Controller (SDRAMC)
•
The Burst Flash Controller (BFC)
•
A chip select assignment feature that assigns an ASB address space to the external
devices.
•
A multiplex controller circuit that shares the pins between the different Memory
Controllers.
•
Programmable CompactFlash support logic
•
Programmable SmartMedia and NAND Flash support logic
The EBI offers a complete set of control signals that share the 32-bit data lines, the address
lines of up to 26 bits and the control signals through a multiplex logic operating in function of
the memory area requests.
Multiplexing is specifically organized in order to guarantee the maintenance of the address
and output control lines at a stable state while no external access is being performed. Multiplexing is also designed to respect the data float times defined in the Memory Controllers.
Furthermore, refresh cycles of the SDRAM are executed independently by the SDRAM Controller without delaying the other external Memory Controller accesses. Lastly, it prevents
burst accesses on the same page of a burst Flash from being interrupted which avoids the
need to restart a high-latency first access.
Pull-up Control
The EBI permits enabling of on-chip pull-up resistors on the data bus lines not multiplexed with
the PIO Controller lines. The pull-up resistors are enabled after reset. Setting the DBPUC bit
disables the pull-up resistors on the D0 to D15 lines. Enabling the pull-up resistor on the D16 D31 lines can be performed by programming the appropriate PIO controller.

CompactFlash
Support
The External Bus Interface integrates circuitry that interfaces to CompactFlash devices.
The CompactFlash logic is driven by the Static Memory Controller (SMC) on the NCS4
address space. Programming the CS4A field of the Chip Select Assignment Register (See
“EBI Chip Select Assignment Register” on page 149.) to the appropriate value enables this
logic. Access to an external CompactFlash device is then made by accessing the address
space reserved to NCS4 (i.e., between 0x5000 0000 and 0x5FFF FFFF).
When multiplexed with CFCE1 and CFCE2 signals, the NCS5 and NCS6 signals become
unavailable. Performing an access within the address space reserved to NCS5 and NCS6
(i.e., between 0x6000 0000 and 0x7FFF FFFF) may lead to an unpredictable outcome.
The True IDE Mode is not supported and in I/O Mode, the signal _IOIS16 is not managed.
I/O Mode, Common
Memory Mode and
Attribute Memory
Mode
Within the NCS4 address space, the current transfer address is used to distinguish I/O mode,
common memory mode and attribute memory mode. More precisely, the A23 bit of the transfer address is used to select I/O Mode. Any EBI address bit not required by the CompactFlash
device (i.e., bit A24 or bits A22 to A11) can be used to separate common memory mode and
attribute memory mode. Using the A22 bit, for example, leads to the address map in Figure 33
below. In this figure, “i” stands for any hexadecimal digit.

Note:
Read/Write Signals
In the above example, the A22 pin of the EBI can be used to drive the REG signal of the CompactFlash Device.
In I/O mode, the CompactFlash logic drives the read and write command signals of the SMC
on CFIOR and CFIOW signals, while the CFOE and CFWE signals are deactivated. Likewise,
in common memory mode and attribute memory mode, the SMC signals are driven on the
CFOE and CFWE signals, while the CFIOR and CFIOW are deactivated. Figure 34 on page
144 demonstrates a schematic representation of this logic.
Attribute memory mode, common memory mode and I/O mode are supported by setting the
address setup and hold time on the NCS4 chip select to the appropriate values. For details on
these signal waveforms, please refer to the section: “Setup and Hold Cycles” on page 164 of
the Static Memory Controller documentation.

Multiplexing of
CompactFlash Signals
on EBI Pins
Table 41 below and Table 42 on page 145 illustrate the multiplexing of the CompactFlash logic
signals with other EBI signals on the EBI pins. The EBI pins in Table 41 are strictly dedicated
to the CompactFlash interface as soon as the CS4A field of the Chip Select Assignment Register is set (See “EBI Chip Select Assignment Register” on page 149.). These pins must not be
used to drive any other memory devices.
The EBI pins in Table 42 on page 145 remain shared between all memory areas when the
CompactFlash interface is enabled (CS4A = 1).

the CFCS signal is identical to the NCS4 signal. Moreover, the CFRNW signal remains valid
throughout the transfer, as does the address bus. The CompactFlash _WAIT signal is connected to the NWAIT input of the Static Memory Controller. For details on these waveforms

SmartMedia and
NAND Flash
Support
The EBI integrates circuitry that interfaces to SmartMedia and NAND Flash devices.
The SmartMedia logic is driven by the Static Memory Controller on the NCS3 address space.
Programming the CS3A field in the Chip Select Assignment Register to the appropriate value
enables the SmartMedia logic (See “EBI Chip Select Assignment Register” on page 149.).
Access to an external SmartMedia device is then made by accessing the address space
reserved to NCS3 (i.e., between 0x4000 0000 and 0x4FFF FFFF).
The SmartMedia Logic drives the read and write command signals of the SMC on the SMOE
and SMWE signals when the NCS3 signal is active. SMOE and SMWE are invalidated as
soon as the transfer address fails to lie in the NCS3 address space. For details on these waveforms, refer to the Static Memory Controller “Overview” on page 151.
The SMWE and SMOE signals are multiplexed with BFRDY and BFBAA signals of the Burst
Flash Controller. This multiplexing is controlled in the MUX logic part of the EBI by the CS3A
field of the Chip Select Assignment Register (See “EBI Chip Select Assignment Register” on
page 149.). This logic also controls the direction of the BFRDY/SMOE pad.

The address latch enable and command latch enable signals on the SmartMedia device are
driven by address bits A22 and A21 of the EBI address bus. The user should note that any bit
on the EBI address bus can also be used for this purpose. The command, address or data
words on the data bus of the SmartMedia device are distinguished by using their address
within the NCS3 address space. The chip enable (CE) signal of the device and the ready/busy
(R/B) signals are connected to PIO lines. The CE signal then remains asserted even when
NCS3 is not selected, preventing the device from returning to standby mode. Some functional
limitation with the supported burst Flash device will occur when the SmartMedia device is activated due to the fact that the SMOE and SMWE signals are multiplexed with BFRDY and
BFBAA signals respectively.

External Memory
Mapping
The memory map is defined by hardware and associates the internal 32-bit address space
with the external 26-bit address bus. Note that A[25:0] is only significant for 8-bit memory.
A[25:1] is used for 16-bit memory. If the physical memory device is smaller than the page size,
it wraps around and appears to be repeated within the page. The SMC correctly handles any
valid access to the memory device within the page. See Figure 40.

Write Access
Write Access Type
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 SMC_CSR for the corresponding chip select.
See “SMC Chip Select Registers” on page 186.
Byte Write Access
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.

Read Access
Read Protocols
The SMC provides two alternative protocols for external memory read accesses: standard and
early read. The difference between the two protocols lies in the behavior of the NRD signal.
For write accesses, in both protocols, NWE has the same behavior. In the second half of the
master clock cycle, NWE always goes low (see Figure 56 on page 164).
The protocol is selected by the DRP field in SMC_CSR (See “SMC Chip Select Registers” on
page 186.). Standard read protocol is the default protocol after reset.
Note:
Standard Read Protocol
In the following waveforms and descriptions, NRD represents NRD as well as NOE since the
two signals have the same waveform. Likewise, NWE represents NWE, NWR0 and NWR1
unless NWR0 and NWR1 are otherwise represented. In addition, NCS represents NCS[7:0]
(see “I/O Lines” on page 153, Table 44 and Table 45).
Standard read protocol implements a read cycle during 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 lines and NCS
before the read cycle begins.
During a standard read protocol, NCS is set low and address lines are valid at the beginning of
the external memory access, while NRD goes low only in the second half of the master clock
cycle to avoid bus conflict. See Figure 49.

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.

Wait State
Management
Standard Wait States
The SMC can automatically insert wait states. The different types of wait states managed are
listed below:
•
Standard wait states
•
External wait states
•
Data float wait states
•
Chip select change wait states
•
Early Read wait states
Each chip select can be programmed to insert one or more wait states during an access on
the corresponding memory area. This is done by setting the WSEN field in the corresponding
SMC_CSR (See “SMC Chip Select Registers” on page 186.). 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 clock cycles during which the NWE pulse is held low:
0 wait states
1/2 clock cycle
1 wait state
1 clock cycle
For each additional wait state programmed, an additional cycle is added.

1. Early Read Protocol
2. Standard Read Protocol
The NWAIT input pin is used to insert wait states beyond the maximum standard wait states
programmable or in addition to. If NWAIT is asserted low, then the SMC adds a wait state and
no changes are made to the output signals, the internal counters or the state. When NWAIT is
de-asserted, the SMC completes the access sequence.
The input of the NWAIT signal is an asynchronous input. To avoid any metastability problems,
NWAIT is synchronized before using it. This operation results in a two-cycle delay.
NWS must be programmed as a function of synchronization time and delay between NWAIT
falling and control signals falling (NRD/NWE), otherwise SMC will not function correctly.
NWS > Wait Delay from nrd/nwe + external_nwait Synchronization Delay + 1
If NWAIT is asserted during a setup or hold timing, the SMC does not function correctly.

Synchronization Delay
Some memory devices are slow to release the external bus. For such devices, it is necessary
to add wait states (data float wait states) 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 SMC_CSR register for the corresponding chip select (See “SMC Chip Select Registers” on page 186.). The value of TDF indicates the number of data float wait cycles
(between 0 and 15) to be inserted and represents the time allowed for the data output to go to
high impedance after the memory is disabled.
Data float wait states do not delay internal memory accesses. Hence, a single access to an
external memory with long tDF will not slow down the execution of a program from internal
memory.

AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
To ensure that the external memory system is not accessed while it is still busy, the SMC
keeps track of the programmed external data float time during internal accesses.
Internal memory accesses and consecutive read accesses to the same external memory do
not add data float wait states.

A chip select wait state is automatically inserted when consecutive accesses are made to two
different external memories (if no other type of wait state has already been inserted). If a wait
state has already been inserted (e.g., data float wait state), then no more wait states are
added.

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 56). This wait state is generated in addition to any other programmed wait states (i.e., data float wait state).
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.

Setup and Hold
Cycles
The SMC allows some memory devices to be interfaced with different setup, hold and pulse
delays. These parameters are programmable and define the timing of each portion of the read
and write cycles. However, it is not possible to use this feature in early read protocol.
If an attempt is made to program the setup parameter as not equal to zero and the hold
parameter as equal to zero with WSEN = 0 (0 standard wait state), the SMC does not operate
correctly.
If consecutive accesses are made to two different external memories and the second memory
is programmed with setup cycles, then no chip select change wait state is inserted (see Figure
61 on page 166).
When a data float wait state (tDF) is programmed on the first memory bank and when the second memory bank is programmed with setup cycles, the SMC behaves as follows:
Read Access
164
•
If the number of tDF is higher or equal to the number of setup cycles, the number of setup
cycles inserted is equal to 0 (see Figure 62 on page 167).
•
If the number of the setup cycle is higher than the number of tDF, the number of tDF inserted
is 0 (see Figure 63 on page 167).
The read cycle can be divided into a setup, a pulse length and a hold. The setup parameter
can have a value between 1.5 and 7.5 clock cycles, the hold parameter between 0 and 7 clock
cycles and the pulse length between 1.5 and 128.5 clock cycles, by increments of one.

LCD Interface
Mode
The SMC can be configured to work with an external liquid crystal display (LCD) controller by
setting the ACSS (Address to Chip Select Setup) bit in the SMC_CSR registers (See “SMC
Chip Select Registers” on page 186.).
In LCD mode, NCS is shortened by one/two/three clock cycles at the leading and trailing
edges, providing positive address setup and hold. For read accesses, the data is latched in
the SMC when NCS is raised at the end of the access.
Additionally, WSEN must be set and NWS programmed with a value of two or more superior to
ACSS. In LCD mode, it is not recommended to use RWHOLD or RWSETUP. If the above conditions are not satisfied, SMC does not operate correctly.

SDRAM Controller (SDRAMC)
Overview
The SDRAM Controller (SDRAMC) extends the memory capabilities of a chip by providing the
interface to an external 16-bit or 32-bit SDRAM device. The page size supports ranges from
2048 to 8192 and the number of columns from 256 to 2048. It supports byte (8-bit), half-word
(16-bit) and word (32-bit) accesses.
The SDRAM Controller supports a read or write burst length of one location. It does not support byte read/write bursts or half-word write bursts. It keeps track of the active row in each
bank, thus maximizing SDRAM performance, e.g., the application may be placed in one bank
and data in the other banks. So as to optimize performance, it is advisable to avoid accessing
different rows in the same bank.

SDRAM Devices
Initialization
The initialization sequence is generated by software. The SDRAM devices are initialized by
the following sequence:
1. A minimum pause of 200 µs is provided to precede any signal toggle.
2. An All Banks Precharge command is issued to the SDRAM devices.
3. Eight auto-refresh (CBR) cycles are provided.
4. A mode register set (MRS) cycle is issued to program the parameters of the SDRAM
devices, in particular CAS latency and burst length.
5. A Normal Mode command is provided, 3 clocks after tMRD is met.
6. Write refresh rate into the count field in the SDRAMC Refresh Timer register. (Refresh
rate = delay between refresh cycles).
After these six steps, the SDRAM devices are fully functional.
The commands (NOP, MRS, CBR, normal mode) are generated by programming the command field in the SDRAMC Mode register

I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the SDRAM Controller may be multiplexed with the PIO lines.
The programmer must first program the PIO controller to assign the SDRAM Controller pins to
their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the SDRAM Controller are not used by the application,
they can be used for other purposes by the PIO Controller.
Interrupt
The SDRAM Controller interrupt (Refresh Error notification) is connected to the Memory Controller. This interrupt may be ORed with other System Peripheral interrupt lines and is finally
provided as the System Interrupt Source (Source 1) to the AIC (Advanced Interrupt
Controller).
Using the SDRAM Controller interrupt requires the AIC to be programmed first.
Functional
Description
SDRAM Controller
Write Cycle
The SDRAM Controller allows burst access or single access. To initiate a burst access, the
SDRAM Controller uses the transfer type signal provided by the master requesting the access.
If the next access is a sequential write access, writing to the SDRAM device is carried out. If
the next access is a write-sequential access, but the current access is to a boundary page, or
if the next access is in another row, then the SDRAM Controller generates a precharge command, activates the new row and initiates a write command. To comply with SDRAM timing
parameters, additional clock cycles are inserted between precharge/active (tRP) commands
and active/write (tRCD) commands. For definition of these timing parameters, refer to the
“SDRAMC Configuration Register” on page 204. This is described in Figure 90 below.

Read Cycle
The SDRAM Controller allows burst access or single access. To initiate a burst access, the
SDRAM Controller uses the transfer type signal provided by the master requesting the access.
If the next access is a sequential read access, reading to the SDRAM device is carried out. If
the next access is a sequential read access, but the current access is to a boundary page, or if
the next access is in another row, then the SDRAM Controller generates a precharge command, activates the new row and initiates a read command. To comply with SDRAM timing
parameters, an additional clock cycle is inserted between the precharge/active (tRP) command
and the active/read (tRCD) command, After a read command, additional wait states are generated to comply with cas latency. The SDRAM Controller supports a cas latency of two. For
definition of these timing parameters, refer to “SDRAMC Configuration Register” on page 204.
This is described in Figure 91 below.

Management
When the memory row boundary has been reached, an automatic page break is inserted. In
this case, the SDRAM controller generates a precharge command, activates the new row and
initiates a read or write command. To comply with SDRAM timing parameters, an additional
clock cycle is inserted between the precharge/active (tRP) command and the active/read (tRCD)
command. This is described in Figure 92 below.

SDRAM Controller
Refresh Cycles
An auto-refresh command is used to refresh the SDRAM device. Refresh addresses are generated internally by the SDRAM device and incremented after each auto-refresh automatically.
The SDRAM Controller generates these auto-refresh commands periodically. A timer is
loaded with the value in the register SDRAMC_TR that indicates the number of clock cycles
between refresh cycles.
A refresh error interrupt is generated when the previous auto-refresh command did not perform. It will be acknowledged by reading the Interrupt Status Register (SDRAMC_ISR).
When the SDRAM Controller initiates a refresh of the SDRAM device, internal memory
accesses are not delayed. However, if the CPU tries to access the SDRAM, the slave will indicate that the device is busy and the ARM BWAIT signal will be asserted. See Figure 93 below.

Power
Management
Self-refresh Mode
Self-refresh mode is used in power-down mode, i.e., when no access to the SDRAM device is
possible. In this case, power consumption is very low. The mode is activated by programming
the self-refresh command bit (SRCB) in SDRAMC_SRR. In self-refresh mode, the SDRAM
device retains data without external clocking and provides its own internal clocking, thus performing its own auto-refresh cycles. All the inputs to the SDRAM device become “don’t care”
except SDCKE, which remains low. As soon as the SDRAM device is selected, the SDRAM
Controller provides a sequence of commands and exits self-refresh mode, so the self-refresh
command bit is disabled.
To re-activate this mode, the self-refresh command bit must be re-programmed.
The SDRAM device must remain in self-refresh mode for a minimum period of tRAS and may
remain in self-refresh mode for an indefinite period. This is described in Figure 94 below.

Low-power Mode
Low-power mode is used in power-down mode, i.e., when no access to the SDRAM device is
possible. In this mode, power consumption is greater than in self-refresh mode. This state is
similar to normal mode (No low-power mode/No self-refresh mode), but the SDCKE pin is low
and the input and output buffers are deactivated as soon as the SDRAM device is no longer
accessible. In contrast to self-refresh mode, the SDRAM device cannot remain in low-power
mode longer than the refresh period (64 ms for a whole device refresh operation). As no autorefresh operations are performed in this mode, the SDRAM Controller carries out the refresh
operation. In order to exit low-power mode, a NOP command is required. The exit procedure is
faster than in self-refresh mode.
When self-refresh mode is enabled, it is recommended to avoid enabling low-power mode.
When low-power mode is enabled, it is recommended to avoid enabling self-refresh mode.

• COUNT: SDRAMC Refresh Timer Count
This 12-bit field is loaded into a timer that generates the refresh pulse. Each time the refresh pulse is generated, a refresh
burst is initiated. The value to be loaded depends on the SDRAMC clock frequency (MCK: Master Clock), the refresh rate of
the SDRAM device and the refresh burst length where 15.6 µs per row is a typical value for a burst of length one.
To refresh the SDRAM device even if the reset value is not equal to 0, this 12-bit field must be written. If this condition is not
satisfied, no refresh command is issued and no refresh of the SDRAM device is carried out.

Burst Flash Controller (BFC)
Overview
The Burst Flash Controller (BFC) provides an interface for external 16-bit Burst Flash devices
and handles an address space of 256M bytes. It supports byte, half-word and word aligned
accesses and can access up to 32M bytes of Burst Flash devices. The BFC also supports
data bus and address bus multiplexing. The Burst Flash interface supports only continuous
burst reads. Programmable burst lengths of four or eight words are not possible. The BFC
never generates an abort signal, regardless of the requested address within the 256M bytes of
address space.
The BFC can operate with two burst read protocols depending on whether or not the address
increment of the Burst Flash device is signal controlled. The Burst Flash Controller Mode Register (BFC_MR) located in the BFC user interface is used in programming Asynchronous or
Burst Operating Modes. In Burst Mode, the read protocol, Clock Controlled Address Advance,
automatically increments the address at each clock cycle. Whereas in Signal Controlled
Address Advance protocol the address is incremented only when the Burst Address Advance
signal is active. When Address and Data Bus Multiplexing Mode is chosen, the sixteen lowest
address bits are multiplexed with the data bus.
The BFC clock speed is programmable to be either master clock or master clock divided by 2
or 4. Page size handling (16 bytes to 1024 bytes) is required by some Burst Flash devices
unable to handle continuous burst read. The number of latency cycles after address valid goes
up to sixteen cycles. The number of latency cycles after output enable runs between one and
three cycles. The Burst Flash Controller can also be programmed to suspend and maintain the
current burst. This attribute gives other devices the possibility to share the BFC busses without
any loss of efficiency. In Burst Mode, the BFC can restart a sequential access without any
additional latency.
Features of the Burst Flash Controller are:
•

Product Dependencies
Supported Burst
Flash Devices
The Burst Flash Controller is designed to preferentially support the following ATMEL Burst
Flash devices:
•
AT49SN6416A and AT49SN6416AT (64 Mbits x 16)
•
AT49SN3208A and AT49SN3208AT (32 Mbits x 16)
•
AT49BN3208 and AT49BN3208T (32 Mbits x 16)
I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the Burst Flash Controller may be multiplexed with the PIO lines.
The programmer must first program the PIO controller to assign the Burst Flash Controller
pins to their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the Burst Flash Controller are not used by the
application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO Controller.
Functional
Description
The Burst Flash Controller drives the following signals:
•
Address Valid (BFAVD), to latch the addresses
•
Clock (BFCK), to supply the burst clock
•
Burst Advance Address (BFBAA), to control the Burst Flash memory address advance
when programmed to operate in signal controlled burst advance
•
Write Enable (BFWE), to write to the Burst Flash device
•
Output Enable (BFOE), to enable the external device data drive on the data bus
When enabled, the BFC also drives the address bus, the data bus and the Chip Select (BFCS)
line. The Ready Signal (BFRDY) is taken as an input and used as an indicator for the next
data availability.
Burst Flash
Controller Reset
State
After reset, the BFC is disabled and, therefore, must be enabled by programming the field
BFCOM. See “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221. At this time, the Burst
Flash Controller operates in Asynchronous Mode. The Burst Flash memory can be programmed by writing and reading in Asynchronous Mode.
Burst Flash
Controller Clock
Selection
The BFC clock rate is programmable to be either Master Clock, Master Clock divided by 2 or
Master Clock divided by 4. The clock selection is necessary in Burst Mode as well as in Asynchronous Mode. The latency fields in the mode register and all burst Flash control signal
waveforms are related to the Burst Flash Clock (BFCK) period.
The BFC clock rate is selected by the BFCC field. See “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register”
on page 221.

Burst Flash
Controller
Asynchronous
Mode
In Asynchronous Mode, the Burst Flash Controller clock is off. The BFCK signal is driven low.
The BFC performs read access to bytes (8-bits), half-words (16-bits), and words (32-bits). In
the last case, the BFC autonomously transforms the word read request into two separate halfword reads. This is fully transparent to the user.
The BFC performs only half-word write requests. Write requests for bytes or words are ignored
by the BFC.
For any access in the address space, the address is driven on the address bus while a pulse is
driven on the BFAVD signal (see Figure 99 on page 214, and Figure 100 on page 215). The
Burst Flash address is also driven on the data bus if the multiplexed data and address bus
options are enabled. (Figure 99 on page 214).
•
For write access, the signal BFWE is asserted in the following BFCK clock cycle.
•
For read access, the signal BFOE is asserted one cycle later. This additional cycle in read
accesses has been inserted to switch the I/O pad direction so as to avoid conflict on the
Burst Flash data bus when address and data busses are multiplexed.
The Address Valid Latency (AVL) determines the length of the pulses as a number of Master
Clock cycles. The AVL field (See “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221.) is
coded as the Address Valid Latency minus 1. Waveforms in Figure 99 on page 214 and Figure
100 on page 215 show the AVL field definition in read and write accesses.
•
In read access, the access finishes with the rising edge of BFOE.
•
In write access, data and address lines are released one half cycle after the rising edge of
BFWE.
After a read access to the Burst Flash, it takes Output Enable Latency (OEL) cycles for the
Burst Flash device to release the data bus. The OEL field (See “Burst Flash Controller Mode
Register” on page 221.) gives the OEL expressed in BFCK Clock cycles. This prevents other
memory controllers from using the Data Bus until it is released by the Burst Flash device.
In Figure 99 on page 214 (multiplexed address and data busses), one idle cycle (OEL = 1) is
inserted between the read and write accesses. The Burst Flash device must release the data
bus before the BFC can drive the address. As shown in Figure 100 on page 215, where busses are not multiplexed, the write access can start as soon as the read access ends. In the
same way, the OEL has no impact when a read follows a write access.
Waveforms in Figure 99 on page 214 below and Figure 100 on page 215 are related to the
Burst Flash Controller Clock even though the BFCK pin is driven low in Asynchronous Mode.
The BFCC field (See “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221.) is used as a measure of the burst Flash speed and must also be programmed in Asynchronous Mode.

Mode
Writing the Burst Flash Controller Operating Mode field (BFCOM) to 2 (see “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221) puts the BFC in Burst Mode. The BFC Clock is driven on
the BFCK pin. Only read accesses are treated and write accesses are ignored. The BFC supports read access of bytes, half-words or words.
Burst Read Protocols
The BFC supports two burst read protocols:
Read Access in Burst
Mode
•
Clock Controlled Address Advance, the internal address of the burst Flash is automatically
incremented at each BFCK cycle.
•
Signal Controlled Address Advance, the internal address of the burst Flash is incremented
only when the BFBAA signal is active.
When a read access is requested in Burst Mode, the requested address is registered in the
BFC. For subsequent read accesses, the address is compared to the previous one. Then the
two following cases are considered:
1. In case of a non-sequential access, the current burst is broken and the BFC launches a
new burst by performing an address latch cycle. The address is presented on the
address bus in any case and on the data bus if the multiplexed bus option is enabled.
215
1768B–ATARM–08/03
This new address is registered in the BFC and is then used as reference for further
accesses.
2. In case of sequential access, and provided that the BFOEH mode is selected in the
mode register (See “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221.), the internal
burst address is incremented:
–
Through the BFBAA pin, if the Signal Controlled Address Advance is enabled.
–
By enabling the clock during one clock cycle in Clock Controlled Address Advance
Mode.
These protocols are illustrated in Figure 101 below and Figure 102 on page 217. The Address
Valid Latency (AVL+1, see “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221) gives the
number of cycles from the first rising clock edge when BFAVD is asserted to the rising edge
that causes the read of data D1.
Note:
This rising edge is also used to latch D0 in the BFC.

The BFC can suspend a burst to enable other internal transfers, or other memory controllers
to use the memory address and data busses if they are shared. Two modes are provided on
the BFOEH bit (Burst Flash Output Enable Handling, see “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221):
•
BFOEH = 1: the BFC suspends the burst when it is no longer selected and the BFOE pin
is deasserted. When a new sequential access on the Burst Flash device is requested, the
burst is resumed and the BFOE pin is asserted again. The data is available on the data
bus after OEL cycles. This mode provides a minimal access latency. (Refer to Figure 101
on page 216 and Figure 102 above).
•
BFOEH = 0: the BFC suspends the burst when it is no longer selected and the BFOE pin
is deasserted. When a new access to the Burst Flash device is requested, either
sequential or not, a new burst is initialized and the next data is available as defined by the
AVL latency field in the Mode Register. This mode is provided for Burst Flash devices for
which the deassertion of the BFOE signal causes an irreversible break of the burst. Figure
103 on page 218 shows the access request to the BFC and the deassertion of the BFOE
signal due to a deselection of the BFC (Suspend). When the BFC is requested again, a
new burst is started even though the requested address is sequential to the previously
requested address.

Reads
The BFC performs continuous burst reads. It is also possible to program page sizes from 16
bytes up to 1024 bytes. This is done by setting the appropriate value in the PAGES field of the
“Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page 221.
Page Mode
In Page Mode, the BFC stops the current burst and starts a new burst each time the requested
address matches a page boundary. Figure 104 on page 219 illustrates a 16-byte page size.
Data D0 to D10 belong to two separate pages and are accessed through two burst accesses.
This mode is provided for Burst Flash devices that cannot handle continuous burst read (in
which case, a continuous burst access to address D0 would cause the Burst Flash internal

In Ready Enable Mode (bit RDYEN in the “Burst Flash Controller Mode Register” on page
221), the BFC uses the Ready Signal (BFRDY) from the burst Flash device as an indicator of
the next data availability. The BFRDY signal must be asserted one BFCK cycle before data is
valid. In Figure 105 on page 220 below, the BFRDY signal indicates on edge (A) that the
expected D4 data will not be available on the next rising BFCK edge. The BFRDY signal
remains low until rising at edge (B). D4 is then sampled on edge (C).
When the RDYEN mode is disabled (RDYEN = 0), the BFRDY signal at the BFC input interface is ignored. This mode is provided for Burst Flash devices that do not handle the BFRDY
signal.

Peripheral Data Controller (PDC)
Overview
The Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) transfers data between on-chip serial peripherals such
as the UART, USART, SSC, SPI, MCI and the on- and off-chip memories. Using the Peripheral
Data Contoller avoids processor intervention and removes the processor interrupt-handling
overhead.This significantly reduces the number of clock cycles required for a data transfer
and, as a result, improves the performance of the microcontroller and makes it more power
efficient.
The PDC channels are implemented in pairs, each pair being dedicated to a particular peripheral. One channel in the pair is dedicated to the receiving channel and one to the transmitting
channel of each UART, USART, SSC and SPI.
The user interface of a PDC channel is integrated in the memory space of each peripheral. It
contains:
• A 32-bit memory pointer register
•
A 16-bit transfer count register
•
A 32-bit register for next memory pointer
•
A 16-bit register for next transfer count
The peripheral triggers PDC transfers using transmit and receive signals. When the programmed data is transferred, an end of transfer interrupt is generated by the corresponding
peripheral.
Important features of the PDC are:

Functional
Description
Configuration
The PDC channels user interface enables the user to configure and control the data transfers
for each channel. The user interface of a PDC channel is integrated into the user interface of
the peripheral (offset 0x100), which it is related to.
Per peripheral, it contains four 32-bit Pointer Registers (RPR, RNPR, TPR, and TNPR) and
four 16-bit Counter Registers (RCR, RNCR, TCR, and TNCR).
The size of the buffer (number of transfers) is configured in an internal 16-bit transfer counter
register, and it is possible, at any moment, to read the number of transfers left for each
channel.
The memory base address is configured in a 32-bit memory pointer by defining the location of
the first address to access in the memory. It is possible, at any moment, to read the location in
memory of the next transfer and the number of remaining transfers. The PDC has dedicated
status registers which indicate if the transfer is enabled or disabled for each channel. The status for each channel is located in the peripheral status register. Transfers can be enabled
and/or disabled by setting TXTEN/TXTDIS and RXTEN/RXTDIS in PDC Transfer Control
Register. These control bits enable reading the pointer and counter registers safely without
any risk of their changing between both reads.
The PDC sends status flags to the peripheral visible in its status-register (ENDRX, ENDTX,
RXBUFF, and TXBUFE).
ENDRX flag is set when the PERIPH_RCR register reaches zero.
RXBUFF flag is set when both PERIPH_RCR and PERIPH_RNCR reach zero.
ENDTX flag is set when the PERIPH_TCR register reaches zero.
TXBUFE flag is set when both PERIPH_TCR and PERIPH_TNCR reach zero.
These status flags are described in the peripheral status register.
Memory Pointers
Each peripheral is connected to the PDC by a receiver data channel and a transmitter data
channel. Each channel has an internal 32-bit memory pointer. Each memory pointer points to
a location anywhere in the memory space (on-chip memory or external bus interface memory).
Depending on the type of transfer (byte, half-word or word), the memory pointer is incremented by 1, 2 or 4, respectively for peripheral transfers.
If a memory pointer is reprogrammed while the PDC is in operation, the transfer address is
changed, and the PDC performs transfers using the new address.
Transfer Counters
There is one internal 16-bit transfer counter for each channel used to count the size of the
block already transferred by its associated channel. These counters are decremented after
each data transfer. When the counter reaches zero, the transfer is complete and the PDC
stops transferring data.
If the Next Counter Register is equal to zero, the PDC disables the trigger while activating the
related peripheral end flag.
If the counter is reprogrammed while the PDC is operating, the number of transfers is updated
and the PDC counts transfers from the new value.
Programming the Next Counter/Pointer registers chains the buffers. The counters are decremented after each data transfer as stated above, but when the transfer counter reaches zero,
224
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
the values of the Next Counter/Pointer are loaded into the Counter/Pointer registers in order to
re-enable the triggers.
For each channel, two status bits indicate the end of the current buffer (ENDRX, ENTX) and
the end of both current and next buffer (RXBUFF, TXBUFE). These bits are directly mapped to
the peripheral status register and can trigger an interrupt request to the AIC.
The peripheral end flag is automatically cleared when one of the counter-registers (Counter or
Next Counter Register) is written.
Note: When the Next Counter Register is loaded into the Counter Register, it is set to zero.
Data Transfers
The peripheral triggers PDC transfers using transmit (TXRDY) and receive (RXRDY) signals.
When the peripheral receives an external character, it sends a Receive Ready signal to the
PDC which then requests access to the system bus. When access is granted, the PDC starts
a read of the peripheral Receive Holding Register (RHR) and then triggers a write in the
memory.
After each transfer, the relevant PDC memory pointer is incremented and the number of transfers left is decremented. When the memory block size is reached, a signal is sent to the
peripheral and the transfer stops.
The same procedure is followed, in reverse, for transmit transfers.
Priority of PDC
Transfer Requests
The Peripheral Data Controller handles transfer requests from the channel according to priorities fixed for each product.These priorities are defined in the product datasheet.
If simultaneous requests of the same type (receiver or transmitter) occur on identical peripherals, the priority is determined by the numbering of the peripherals.
If transfer requests are not simultaneous, they are treated in the order they occurred.
Requests from the receivers are handled first and then followed by transmitters requests.

Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC)
Overview
The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) is an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored
interrupt controller, providing handling of up to thirty-two interrupt sources. It is designed to
substantially reduce the software and real-time overhead in handling internal and external
interrupts.
The AIC drives the nFIQ (fast interrupt request) and the nIRQ (standard interrupt request)
inputs of an ARM processor. Inputs of the AIC are either internal peripheral interrupts or external interrupts coming from the product's pins.
The 8-level Priority Controller allows the user to define the priority for each interrupt source,
thus permitting higher priority interrupts to be serviced even if a lower priority interrupt is being
treated.
Internal interrupt sources can be programmed to be level sensitive or edge triggered. External
interrupt sources can be programmed to be positive-edge or negative-edge triggered or highlevel or low-level sensitive.
The fast forcing feature redirects any internal or external interrupt source to provide a fast
interrupt rather than a normal interrupt.
Important Features of the AIC are:
•
Controls the Interrupt Lines (nIRQ and nFIQ) of an ARM® Processor
•
Thirty-two Individually Maskable and Vectored Interrupt Sources
•
•
•
–
Source 0 is Reserved for the Fast Interrupt Input (FIQ)
–
Source 1 is Reserved for System Peripherals (ST, RTC, PMC, DBGU…)

I/O Lines
The interrupt signals FIQ and IRQ0 to IRQn are normally multiplexed through the PIO controllers. Depending on the features of the PIO controller used in the product, the pins must be
programmed in accordance with their assigned interrupt function. This is not applicable when
the PIO controller used in the product is transparent on the input path.
Power
Management
The Advanced Interrupt Controller is continuously clocked. The Power Management Controller
has no effect on the Advanced Interrupt Controller behavior.
The assertion of the Advanced Interrupt Controller outputs, either nIRQ or nFIQ, wakes up the
ARM processor while it is in Idle Mode. The General Interrupt Mask feature enables the AIC to
wake up the processor without asserting the interrupt line of the processor, thus providing synchronization of the processor on an event.
Interrupt Sources
The Interrupt Source 0 is always located at FIQ. If the product does not feature an FIQ pin, the
Interrupt Source 0 cannot be used.
The Interrupt Source 1 is always located at System Interrupt. This is the result of the OR-wiring of the system peripheral interrupt lines, such as the System Timer, the Real Time Clock,
the Power Management Controller and the Memory Controller. When a system interrupt
occurs, the service routine must first distinguish the cause of the interrupt. This is performed
by reading successively the status registers of the above mentioned system peripherals.
The interrupt sources 2 to 31 can either be connected to the interrupt outputs of an embedded
user peripheral or to external interrupt lines. The external interrupt lines can be connected
directly, or through the PIO Controller.
The PIO Controllers are considered as user peripherals in the scope of interrupt handling.
Accordingly, the PIO Controller interrupt lines are connected to the Interrupt Sources 2 to 31.
The peripheral identification defined at the product level corresponds to the interrupt source
number (as well as the bit number controlling the clock of the peripheral). Consequently, to
simplify the description of the functional operations and the user interface, the interrupt
sources are named FIQ, SYS, and PID2 to PID31.

Functional Description
Interrupt Source
Control
Interrupt Source Mode
The Advanced Interrupt Controller independently programs each interrupt source. The SRCTYPE field of the corresponding AIC_SMR (Source Mode Register) selects the interrupt
condition of each source.
The internal interrupt sources wired on the interrupt outputs of the embedded peripherals can
be programmed either in level-sensitive mode or in edge-triggered mode. The active level of
the internal interrupts is not important for the user.
The external interrupt sources can be programmed either in high level-sensitive or low levelsensitive modes, or in positive edge-triggered or negative edge-triggered modes.
Interrupt Source
Enabling
Each interrupt source, including the FIQ in source 0, can be enabled or disabled by using the
command registers; AIC_IECR (Interrupt Enable Command Register) and AIC_IDCR (Interrupt Disable Command Register). This set of registers conducts enabling or disabling in one
instruction. The interrupt mask can be read in the AIC_IMR register. A disabled interrupt does
not affect servicing of other interrupts.
Interrupt Clearing and
Setting
All interrupt sources programmed to be edge-triggered (including the FIQ in source 0) can be
individually set or cleared by writing respectively the AIC_ISCR and AIC_ICCR registers.
Clearing or setting interrupt sources programmed in level-sensitive mode has no effect.
The clear operation is perfunctory, as the software must perform an action to reinitialize the
“memorization” circuitry activated when the source is programmed in edge-triggered mode.
However, the set operation is available for auto-test or software debug purposes. It can also
be used to execute an AIC-implementation of a software interrupt.
The AIC features an automatic clear of the current interrupt when the AIC_IVR (Interrupt Vector Register) is read. Only the interrupt source being detected by the AIC as the current
interrupt is affected by this operation. (See “Priority Controller” on page 237.) The automatic
clear reduces the operations required by the interrupt service routine entry code to reading the
AIC_IVR. Note that the automatic interrupt clear is disabled if the interrupt source has the Fast
Forcing feature enabled as it is considered uniquely as a FIQ source. (For further details, See
“Fast Forcing” on page 241.)
The automatic clear of the interrupt source 0 is performed when AIC_FVR is read.
Interrupt Status
For each interrupt, the AIC operation originates in AIC_IPR (Interrupt Pending Register) and
its mask in AIC_IMR (Interrupt Mask Register). AIC_IPR enables the actual activity of the
sources, whether masked or not.
The AIC_ISR register reads the number of the current interrupt (see “Priority Controller” on
page 237) and the register AIC_CISR gives an image of the signals nIRQ and nFIQ driven on
the processor.
Each status referred to above can be used to optimize the interrupt handling of the systems.

Interrupt Latencies
Global interrupt latencies depend on several parameters, including:
•
The time the software masks the interrupts.
•
Occurrence, either at the processor level or at the AIC level.
•
The execution time of the instruction in progress when the interrupt occurs.
•
The treatment of higher priority interrupts and the resynchronization of the hardware
signals.
This section addresses only the hardware resynchronizations. It gives details of the latency
times between the event on an external interrupt leading in a valid interrupt (edge or level) or
the assertion of an internal interrupt source and the assertion of the nIRQ or nFIQ line on the
processor. The resynchronization time depends on the programming of the interrupt source
and on its type (internal or external). For the standard interrupt, resynchronization times are
given assuming there is no higher priority in progress.
The PIO Controller multiplexing has no effect on the interrupt latencies of the external interrupt
sources.

Priority Controller
An 8-level priority controller drives the nIRQ line of the processor, depending on the interrupt
conditions occurring on the interrupt sources 1 to 31 (except for those programmed in Fast
Forcing).
Each interrupt source has a programmable priority level of 7 to 0, which is user-definable by
writing the PRIOR field of the corresponding AIC_SMR (Source Mode Register). Level 7 is the
highest priority and level 0 the lowest.
As soon as an interrupt condition occurs, as defined by the SRCTYPE field of the AIC_SVR
(Source Vector Register), the nIRQ line is asserted. As a new interrupt condition might have
happened on other interrupt sources since the nIRQ has been asserted, the priority controller
determines the current interrupt at the time the AIC_IVR (Interrupt Vector Register) is read.
The read of AIC_IVR is the entry point of the interrupt handling which allows the AIC to
consider that the interrupt has been taken into account by the software.
The current priority level is defined as the priority level of the current interrupt.
If several interrupt sources of equal priority are pending and enabled when the AIC_IVR is
read, the interrupt with the lowest interrupt source number is serviced first.
The nIRQ line can be asserted only if an interrupt condition occurs on an interrupt source with
a higher priority. If an interrupt condition happens (or is pending) during the interrupt treatment
in progress, it is delayed until the software indicates to the AIC the end of the current service
by writing the AIC_EOICR (End of Interrupt Command Register). The write of AIC_EOICR is
the exit point of the interrupt handling.
237
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Interrupt Nesting
The priority controller utilizes interrupt nesting in order for the highest priority interrupt to be
handled during the service of lower priority interrupts. This requires the interrupt service routines of the lower interrupts to re-enable the interrupt at the processor level.
When an interrupt of a higher priority happens during an already occurring interrupt service
routine, the nIRQ line is re-asserted. If the interrupt is enabled at the core level, the current
execution is interrupted and the new interrupt service routine should read the AIC_IVR. At this
time, the current interrupt number and its priority level are pushed into an embedded hardware
stack, so that they are saved and restored when the higher priority interrupt servicing is finished and the AIC_EOICR is written.
The AIC is equipped with an 8-level wide hardware stack in order to support up to eight interrupt nestings pursuant to having eight priority levels.
Interrupt Vectoring
The interrupt handler addresses corresponding to each interrupt source can be stored in the
registers AIC_SVR1 to AIC_SVR31 (Source Vector Register 1 to 31). When the processor
reads AIC_IVR (Interrupt Vector Register), the value written into AIC_SVR corresponding to
the current interrupt is returned.
This feature offers a way to branch in one single instruction to the handler corresponding to
the current interrupt, as AIC_IVR is mapped at the absolute address 0xFFFF F100 and thus
accessible from the ARM interrupt vector at address 0x0000 0018 through the following
instruction:
LDR
PC,[PC,# -&F20]
When the processor executes this instruction, it loads the read value in AIC_IVR in its program
counter, thus branching the execution on the correct interrupt handler.
This feature is often not used when the application is based on an operating system (either
real time or not). Operating systems often have a single entry point for all the interrupts and
the first task performed is to discern the source of the interrupt.
However, it is strongly recommended to port the operating system on AT91 products by supporting the interrupt vectoring. This can be performed by defining all the AIC_SVR of the
interrupt source to be handled by the operating system at the address of its interrupt handler.
When doing so, the interrupt vectoring permits a critical interrupt to transfer the execution on a
specific very fast handler and not onto the operating system’s general interrupt handler. This
facilitates the support of hard real-time tasks (input/outputs of voice/audio buffers and software
peripheral handling) to be handled efficiently and independently of the application running
under an operating system.
Interrupt Handlers
This section gives an overview of the fast interrupt handling sequence when using the AIC. It
is assumed that the programmer understands the architecture of the ARM processor, and
especially the processor interrupt modes and the associated status bits.
It is assumed that:
1. The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR registers are
loaded with corresponding interrupt service routine addresses and interrupts are
enabled.
2. The instruction at the ARM interrupt exception vector address is required to work with
the vectoring
LDR PC, [PC, # -&F20]
When nIRQ is asserted, if the bit “I” of CPSR is 0, the sequence is as follows:
1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_irq, the current value of the Program Counter is loaded in
the Interrupt link register (R14_irq) and the Program Counter (R15) is loaded with
238
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
0x18. In the following cycle during fetch at address 0x1C, the ARM core adjusts
R14_irq, decrementing it by four.
2. The ARM core enters Interrupt mode, if it has not already done so.
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:
–
Sets the current interrupt to be the pending and enabled interrupt with the highest
priority. The current level is the priority level of the current interrupt.
–
De-asserts the nIRQ line on the processor. Even if vectoring is not used, AIC_IVR
must be read in order to de-assert nIRQ.
–
Automatically clears the interrupt, if it has been programmed to be edge-triggered.
–
Pushes the current level and the current interrupt number on to the stack.
–
Returns the value written in the AIC_SVR corresponding to the current interrupt.
4. The previous step has the effect of branching to the corresponding interrupt service
routine. This should start by saving the link register (R14_irq) and SPSR_IRQ. The link
register must be decremented by four when it is saved if it is to be restored directly into
the program counter at the end of the interrupt. For example, the instruction SUB PC,
LR, #4 may be used.
5. Further interrupts can then be unmasked by clearing the “I” bit in CPSR, allowing reassertion of the nIRQ to be taken into account by the core. This can happen if an interrupt with a higher priority than the current interrupt occurs.
6. The interrupt handler can then proceed as required, saving the registers that will be
used and restoring them at the end. During this phase, an interrupt of higher priority
than the current level will restart the sequence from step 1.
Note:
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 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 the old current level but
with higher priority than the new current level, the nIRQ line is re-asserted, but the
interrupt sequence does not immediately start because the “I” bit is set in the core.
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 SPSR_irq.
Note:
The “I” bit in SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was on the verge of
masking an interrupt when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence, when SPSR is
restored, the mask instruction is completed (interrupt is masked).
Fast Interrupt
Fast Interrupt Source
The interrupt source 0 is the only source which can raise a fast interrupt request to the processor except if fast forcing is used. The interrupt source 0 is generally connected to a FIQ pin of
the product, either directly or through a PIO Controller.
Fast Interrupt Control
The fast interrupt logic of the AIC has no priority controller. The mode of interrupt source 0 is
programmed with the AIC_SMR0 and the field PRIOR of this register is not used even if it
239
1768B–ATARM–08/03
reads what has been written. The field SRCTYPE of AIC_SMR0 enables programming the
fast interrupt source to be positive-edge triggered or negative-edge triggered or high-level sensitive or low-level sensitive
Writing 0x1 in the AIC_IECR (Interrupt Enable Command Register) and AIC_IDCR (Interrupt
Disable Command Register) respectively enables and disables the fast interrupt. The bit 0 of
AIC_IMR (Interrupt Mask Register) indicates whether the fast interrupt is enabled or disabled.
Fast Interrupt
Vectoring
The fast interrupt handler address can be stored in AIC_SVR0 (Source Vector Register 0).
The value written into this register is returned when the processor reads AIC_FVR (Fast Vector Register). This offers a way to branch in one single instruction to the interrupt handler, as
AIC_FVR is mapped at the absolute address 0xFFFF F104 and thus accessible from the ARM
fast interrupt vector at address 0x0000 001C through the following instruction:
LDR
PC,[PC,# -&F20]
When the processor executes this instruction it loads the value read in AIC_FVR in its program counter, thus branching the execution on the fast interrupt handler. It also automatically
performs the clear of the fast interrupt source if it is programmed in edge-triggered mode.
Fast Interrupt
Handlers
This section gives an overview of the fast interrupt handling sequence when using the AIC. It
is assumed that the programmer understands the architecture of the ARM processor, and
especially the processor interrupt modes and associated status bits.
Assuming that:
1. The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR0 is loaded with
the fast interrupt service routine address, and the interrupt source 0 is enabled.
2. The Instruction at address 0x1C (FIQ exception vector address) is required to vector
the fast interrupt:
LDR PC, [PC, # -&F20]
3. The user does not need nested fast interrupts.
When nFIQ is asserted if the bit "F" of CPSR is 0, the sequence is:
1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_fiq, the current value of the program counter is loaded in
the FIQ link register (R14_FIQ) and the program counter (R15) is loaded with 0x1C. In
the following cycle, during fetch at address 0x20, the ARM core adjusts R14_fiq, decrementing it by four.
2. The ARM core enters FIQ mode.
3. When the instruction loaded at address 0x1C is executed, the program counter is
loaded with the value read in AIC_FVR. Reading the AIC_FVR has effect of automatically clearing the fast interrupt, if it has been programmed to be edge triggered. In this
case only, it de-asserts the nFIQ line on the processor.
4. The previous step enables branching to the corresponding interrupt service routine. It
is not necessary to save the link register R14_fiq and SPSR_fiq if nested fast interrupts
are not needed.
5. The Interrupt Handler can then proceed as required. It is not necessary to save registers R8 to R13 because FIQ mode has its own dedicated registers and the user R8 to
R13 are banked. The other registers, R0 to R7, must be saved before being used, and
restored at the end (before the next step). Note that if the fast interrupt is programmed
to be level sensitive, the source of the interrupt must be cleared during this phase in
order to de-assert the interrupt source 0.
6. Finally, the Link Register R14_fiq is restored into the PC after decrementing it by four
(with instruction SUB PC, LR, #4 for example). This has the effect of returning from
the interrupt to whatever was being executed before, loading the CPSR with the SPSR
240
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
and masking or unmasking the fast interrupt depending on the state saved in the
SPSR.
Note:
The "F" bit in SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was just about to
mask FIQ interrupts when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence when the SPSR is
restored, the interrupted instruction is completed (FIQ is masked).
Another way to handle the fast interrupt is to map the interrupt service routine at the address
of the ARM vector 0x1C. This method does not use the vectoring, so that reading AIC_FVR
must be performed at the very beginning of the handler operation. However, this method
saves the execution of a branch instruction.
Fast Forcing
The Fast Forcing feature of the advanced interrupt controller provides redirection of any normal Interrupt source on the fast interrupt controller.
Fast Forcing is enabled or disabled by writing to the Fast Forcing Enable Register
(AIC_FFER) and the Fast Forcing Disable Register (AIC_FFDR). Writing to these registers
results in an update of the Fast Forcing Status Register (AIC_FFSR) that controls the feature
for each internal or external interrupt source.
When Fast Forcing is disabled, the interrupt sources are handled as described in the previous
pages.
When Fast Forcing is enabled, the edge/level programming and, in certain cases, edge detection of the interrupt source is still active but the source cannot trigger a normal interrupt to the
processor and is not seen by the priority handler.
If the interrupt source is programmed in level-sensitive mode and an active level is sampled,
Fast Forcing results in the assertion of the nFIQ line to the core.
If the interrupt source is programmed in edge-triggered mode and an active edge is detected,
Fast Forcing results in the assertion of the nFIQ line to the core.
The Fast Forcing feature does not affect the Source 0 pending bit in the Interrupt Pending
Register (AIC_IPR).
The Fast Interrupt Vector Register (AIC_FVR) reads the contents of the Source Vector Register 0 (AIC_SVR0), whatever the source of the fast interrupt may be. The read of the FVR does
not clear the Source 0 when the fast forcing feature is used and the interrupt source should be
cleared by writing to the Interrupt Clear Command Register (AIC_ICCR).
All enabled and pending interrupt sources that have the fast forcing feature enabled and that
are programmed in edge-triggered mode must be cleared by writing to the Interrupt Clear
Command Register. In doing so, they are cleared independently and thus lost interrupts are
prevented.
The read of AIC_IVR does not clear the source that has the fast forcing feature enabled.
The source 0, reserved to the fast interrupt, continues operating normally and becomes one of
the Fast Interrupt sources.

Protect Mode
The Protect Mode permits reading the Interrupt Vector Register without performing the associated automatic operations. This is necessary when working with a debug system. When a
debugger, working either with a Debug Monitor or the ARM processor's ICE, stops the applications and updates the opened windows, it might read the AIC User Interface and thus the IVR.
This has undesirable consequences:
•
If an enabled interrupt with a higher priority than the current one is pending, it is stacked.
•
If there is no enabled pending interrupt, the spurious vector is returned.
In either case, an End of Interrupt command is necessary to acknowledge and to restore the
context of the AIC. This operation is generally not performed by the debug system as the
debug system would become strongly intrusive and cause the application to enter an undesired state.
This is avoided by using the Protect Mode. Writing DBGM in AIC_DCR (Debug Control Register) at 0x1 enables the Protect Mode.
When the 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 AIC_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 perform the same operations. However, it is recommended to
not stop the processor between the read and the write of AIC_IVR of the interrupt service routine to make sure the debugger does not modify the AIC context.
To summarize, in normal operating mode, the read of AIC_IVR performs the following operations within the AIC:
1. Calculates active interrupt (higher than current or spurious).
2. Determines and returns the vector of the active interrupt.
3. Memorizes the interrupt.
4. Pushes the current priority level onto the internal stack.
5. Acknowledges the interrupt.
242
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
However, while the Protect Mode is activated, only operations 1 to 3 are performed when
AIC_IVR is read. Operations 4 and 5 are only performed by the AIC when AIC_IVR is written.
Software that has been written and debugged using the Protect Mode runs correctly in Normal
Mode without modification. However, in Normal Mode the AIC_IVR write has no effect and can
be removed to optimize the code.
Spurious Interrupt
The Advanced Interrupt Controller features protection against spurious interrupts. A spurious
interrupt is defined as being the assertion of an interrupt source long enough for the AIC to
assert the nIRQ, but no longer present when AIC_IVR is read. This is most prone to occur
when:
•
An external interrupt source is programmed in level-sensitive mode and an active level
occurs for only a short time.
•
An internal interrupt source is programmed in level sensitive and the output signal of the
corresponding embedded peripheral is activated for a short time. (As in the case for the
Watchdog.)
•
An interrupt occurs just a few cycles before the software begins to mask it, thus resulting in
a pulse on the interrupt source.
The AIC detects a spurious interrupt at the time the AIC_IVR is read while no enabled interrupt
source is pending. When this happens, the AIC returns the value stored by the programmer in
AIC_SPU (Spurious Vector Register). The programmer must store the address of a spurious
interrupt handler in AIC_SPU as part of the application, to enable an as fast as possible return
to the normal execution flow. This handler writes in AIC_EOICR and performs a return from
interrupt.
General Interrupt
Mask
The AIC features a General Interrupt Mask bit to prevent interrupts from reaching the processor. Both the nIRQ and the nFIQ lines are driven to their inactive state if the bit GMSK in
AIC_DCR (Debug Control Register) is set. However, this mask does not prevent waking up
the processor if it has entered Idle Mode. This function facilitates synchronizing the processor
on a next event and, as soon as the event occurs, performs subsequent operations without
having to handle an interrupt. It is strongly recommended to use this mask with caution.

Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) User Interface
Base Address
The AIC is mapped at the address 0xFFFF F000. It has a total 4-Kbyte addressing space. This
permits the vectoring feature, as the PC-relative load/store instructions of the ARM processor
supports only an ± 4-Kbyte offset.

Power Management Controller (PMC)
Overview
The Power Management Controller (PMC) generates all the clocks of a system thanks
to the integration of two oscillators and two PLLs.
The PMC provides clocks to the embedded processor and enables the idle mode by
stopping the processor clock until the next interrupt.
The PMC independently provides and controls up to thirty peripheral clocks and four
programmable clocks that can be used as outputs on pins to feed external devices. The
integration of the PLLs supplies the USB devices and host ports with a 48 MHz clock, as
required by the bus speed, and the rest of the system with a clock at another frequency.
Thus, the fully-featured Power Management Controller optimizes power consumption of
the whole system and supports the Normal, Idle, Slow Clock and Standby operating
modes.
The main features of the PMC are:
•
Optimize the Power Consumption of the Whole System
•
Embeds and Controls:
•
•
–
One Main Oscillator and One Slow Clock Oscillator (32.768 kHz)
–
Two Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) and Dividers
–
Clock Prescalers
Provides:
–
the Processor Clock PCK
–
the Master Clock MCK
–
the USB Clocks, UHPCK and UDPCK, Respectively for the USB Host Port
and the USB Device Port
–
Programmable Automatic PLL Switch-off in USB Device Suspend Conditions
–
up to Thirty Peripheral Clocks
–
up to Four Programmable Clock Outputs
Four Operating Modes:
–
Normal Mode, Idle Mode, Slow Clock Mode, Standby Mode
255
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Product Dependencies
I/O Lines
The Power Management Controller is capable of handling up to four Programmable
Clocks, PCK0 to PCK3.
A Programmable Clock is generally multiplexed on a PIO Controller. The user must first
program the PIO controllers to assign the pins of the Programmable Clock to its peripheral function.
Interrupt
The Power Management Controller has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced
Interrupt Controller (AIC). Handling the PMC interrupt requires programming the AIC
before configuring the PMC.
Oscillator and PLL
Characteristics
The electrical characteristics of the embedded oscillators and PLLs are product-dependent, even if the way to control them is similar.
All of the parameters for both oscillators and the PLLs are given in the DC Characteristics section of the product datasheet. These figures are used not only for the hardware
design, as they affect the external components to be connected to the pins, but also the
software configuration, as they determine the waiting time for the startup and lock times
to be programmed.
Peripheral Clocks
The Power Management Controller provides and controls up to thirty peripheral clocks.
The bit number permitting the control of a peripheral clock is the Peripheral ID of the
embedded peripheral.
When the Peripheral ID does not correspond to a peripheral, either because this is an
external interrupt or because there are less than thirty peripherals, the control bits of the
Peripheral ID are not implemented in the PMC and programming them has no effect on
the behavior of the PMC.
USB Clocks
The Power Management Controller provides and controls two USB Clocks, the UHPCK
for the USB Host Port, and the UDPCK for the USB Device.
If the product does not embed either the USB Host Port or the USB Device Port, the
associated control bits and registers are not implemented in the PMC and programming
them has no effect on the behavior of the PMC.

Functional Description
Operating Modes
Definition
Clock Definitions
Clock Generator
The following operating modes are supported by the PMC and offer different power consumption levels and event response latency times:
•
Normal Mode: The ARM processor clock is enabled and peripheral clocks are
enabled depending on application requirements.
•
Idle Mode: The ARM processor clock is disabled and waiting for the next interrupt
(or a main reset). The peripheral clocks are enabled depending on application
requirements. PDC transfers are still possible.
•
Slow Clock Mode: Slow clock mode is similar to normal mode, but the main
oscillator and the PLL are switched off to save power and the processor and the
peripherals run in Slow Clock mode. Note that slow clock mode is the mode
selected after the reset.
•
Standby Mode: Standby mode is a combination of Slow Clock mode and Idle Mode.
It enables the processor to respond quickly to a wake-up event by keeping power
consumption very low.
The Power Management Controller provides the following clocks:
•
Slow Clock (SLCK), typically at 32.768 kHz, is the only permanent clock within the
system.
•
Master Clock (MCK), programmable from a few hundred Hz to the maximum
operating frequency of the device. It is available to the modules running
permanently, such as the AIC and the Memory Controller.
•
Processor Clock (PCK), typically the Master Clock for ARM7-based systems and a
faster clock on ARM9-based systems, switched off when entering idle mode.
•
Peripheral Clocks, typically MCK, provided to the embedded peripherals (USART,
SSC, SPI, TWI, TC, MCI, etc.) and independently controllable. In order to reduce the
number of clock names in a product, the Peripheral Clocks are named MCK in the
product datasheet.
•
UDP Clock (UDPCK), typically at 48 MHz, required by the USB Device Port
operations.
•
UHP Clock (UHPCK), typically at 48 MHz, required by the USB Host Port
operations.
•
Programmable Clock Outputs (PCK0 to PCK3) can be selected from the clocks
provided by the clock generator and driven on the PCK0 to PCK3 pins.
The Clock Generator embeds:
•
the Slow Clock Oscillator
•
the Main Oscillator
•
two PLL and divider blocks, A and B
The Clock Generator may optionally integrate a divider by 2. The ARM7-based systems
generally embed PLLs able to output between 20 MHz and 100 MHz and do not embed
the divider by 2. The ARM9-based systems generally embed PLLs able to output
between 80 MHz and 240 MHz. As the 48 MHz required by the USB cannot be reached
by such a PLL, the optional divider by 2 is implemented.
The block diagram of the Clock Generator is shown in Figure 118.

Connection
The Clock Generator integrates a low-power 32.768 kHz oscillator. The XIN32 and
XOUT32 pins must be connected to a 32.768 kHz crystal. Two external capacitors must
be wired as shown in Figure 119.

Slow Clock Oscillator Startup
Time

The startup time of the Slow Clock Oscillator is given in the DC Characteristics section
of the product datasheet. As it is often higher than 500 ms and the processor requires
an assertion of the reset until it has stabilized, the user must implement an external
reset supervisor covering this startup time. However, this startup is only required in case
of cold reset, i.e., in case of system power-up. When a warm reset occurs, the length of
the reset pulse may be much lower. For further details, see “AT91RM9200 Reset Controller” on page 119.

The Clock Generator integrates a Main Oscillator that is designed for a 3 to 20 MHz fundamental crystal. The typical crystal connection is illustrated in Figure 121. The 1 kΩ
resistor is only required for crystals with frequencies lower than 8 MHz. The oscillator
contains twenty-five pF capacitors 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. For further details on the electrical characteristics of the Main Oscillator, see the DC
Characteristics section of the product datasheet.

Main Oscillator Startup Time
The startup time of the Main Oscillator is given in the DC Characteristics section of the
product datasheet. The startup time depends on the crystal frequency and increases
when the frequency rises.
Main Oscillator Control
To minimize the power required to start up the system, the Main Oscillator is disabled
after reset and the Slow Clock mode is selected.
The software enables or disables the Main Oscillator so as to reduce power consumption by clearing the MOSCEN bit in the Main Oscillator Register (CKGR_MOR). When
disabling the Main Oscillator by clearing the MOSCEN bit in CKGR_MOR, the MOSCS
bit in PMC_SR is automatically cleared indicating the Main Clock is off.
260
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
When enabling the Main Oscillator, the user must initiate the Main Oscillator counter
with a value corresponding to the startup time of the oscillator. This startup time
depends on the crystal frequency connected to the main oscillator. When the MOSCEN
bit and the OSCOUNT are written in CKGR_MOR to enable the Main Oscillator, the
MOSCS bit is cleared and the counter starts counting down on the Slow Clock divided
by 8 from the OSCOUNT value. Since the OSCOUNT value is coded with 8 bits, the
maximum startup time is about 62 ms.
When the counter reaches 0, the MOSCS bit is set, indicating that the Main Clock is
valid. Setting the MOSCS bit in PMC_IMR can trigger an interrupt to the processor on
this event.
Main Clock Frequency
Counter
The Main Oscillator features a Main Clock frequency counter that provides the quartz
frequency connected to the Main Oscillator. Generally, this value is known by the system designer; however, it is useful for the boot program to configure the device with the
correct clock speed, independently of the application.
The Main Clock frequency counter starts incrementing at the Main Clock speed after the
next rising edge of the Slow Clock as soon as the Main Oscillator is stable, i.e., as soon
as the MOSCS bit is set. Then, at the 16th falling edge of Slow Clock, the bit MAINRDY
in CKGR_MCFR (Main Clock Frequency Register) is set and the counter stops counting. Its value can be read in the MAINF field of CKGR_MCFR and gives the number of
Main Clock cycles during 16 periods of Slow Clock, so that the frequency of the crystal
connected on the Main Oscillator can be determined.
Main Oscillator Bypass
The user can input a clock on the device instead of connecting a crystal. In this case, the
user has to provide the external clock signal on the pin XIN. The input characteristics of
the XIN pin under these conditions are given in the product Electrical Characteristics
section. The programmer has to be sure not to modify the MOSCEN bit in the Main
Oscillator Register (CKGR_MOR). This bit must remain at 0, its reset value, for the
external clock to operate properly. While this bit is at 0, the pin XIN is tied low to prevent
any internal oscillation regardless of pin connected.
The external clock signal must meet the requirements relating to the power supply
VDDPLL (i.e., between 1.65V and 1.95V) and cannot exceed 50 MHz.
261
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Divider and PLL Blocks
The Clock Generator features two Divider/PLL Blocks that generates a wide range of
frequencies. Additionally, they provide a 48 MHz signal to the embedded USB device
and/or host ports, regardless of the frequency of the Main Clock.
Figure 122 shows the block diagram of the divider and PLL blocks.

PLL Source Clock
The source of PLLs A and B is respectively the output of Divider A, i.e. the Main Clock
divided by DIVA, and the output of Divider B, i.e. the Main Clock divided by DIVB.
As the input frequency of the PLLs is limited, the user has to make sure that the programming of DIVA and DIVB are compliant with the input frequency range of the PLLs,
which is given in the DC Characteristics section of the product datasheet.
Divider and Phase Lock Loop
Programming
The two dividers increase the accuracy of the PLLA and the PLLB clocks independently
of the input frequency.
The Main Clock can be divided by programming the DIVB field in CKGR_PLLBR and
the DIVA field in CKGR_PLLAR. Each divider can be set between 1 and 255 in steps of
1. When the DIVA and DIVB fields are set to 0, the output of the divider and the PLL outputs A and B are a continuous signal at level 0. On reset, the DIVA and DIVB fields are
set to 0, thus both PLL input clocks are set to 0.
The two PLLs of the clock generator allow multiplication of the divider’s outputs. The
PLLA and the PLLB clock signals have a frequency that depends on the respective
source signal frequency and on the parameters DIV (DIVA, DIVB) and MUL (MULA,
MULB). The factor applied to the source signal frequency is (MUL + 1)/DIV. When
MULA or MULB is written to 0, the corresponding PLL is disabled and its power consumption is saved. Re-enabling the PLLA or the PLLB can be performed by writing a
value higher than 0 in the MULA or MULB field, respectively.
Whenever a PLL is re-enabled or one of its parameters is changed, the LOCKA or
LOCKB bit in PMC_SR is automatically cleared. The values written in the PLLACOUNT
or PLLBCOUNT fields in CKGR_PPLAR and CKGR_PLLBR, respectively, are loaded in
the corresponding PLL counter. The PLL counter then decrements at the speed of the
Slow Clock until it reaches 0. At this time, the corresponding LOCK bit is set in PMC_SR
and can trigger an interrupt to the processor. The user has to load the number of Slow
Clock cycles required to cover the PLL transient time into the PLLACOUNT and PLLBCOUNT field. The transient time depends on the PLL filters. The initial state of the PLL
and its target frequency can be calculated using a specific tool provided by Atmel.
PLLB Divider by 2
In ARM9-based systems, the PLLB clock may be divided by two. This divider can be
enabled by setting the bit USB_96M of CKGR_PLLBR. In this case, the divider by 2 is
enabled and the PLLB must be programmed to output 96 MHz and not 48 MHz, thus
ensuring correct operation of the USB bus.
Clock Controllers
The Power Management Controller provides the clocks to the different peripherals of the
system, either internal or external. It embeds the following elements:
Master Clock Controller
•
the Master Clock Controller, which selects the Master Clock.
•
the Processor Clock Controller, which implements the Idle Mode.
•
the Peripheral Clock Controller, which provides power saving by controlling clocks of
the embedded peripherals.
•
the USB Clock Controller, which distributes the 48 MHz clock to the USB controllers.
•
the Programmable Clock Controller, which allows generation of up to four
programmable clock signals on external pins.
The Master Clock Controller provides selection and division of the Master Clock (MCK).
MCK is the clock provided to all the peripherals and the memory controller.
The Master Clock is selected from one of the clocks provided by the Clock Generator.
Selecting the Slow Clock enables Slow Clock Mode by providing a 32.768 kHz signal to
the whole device. Selecting the Main Clock saves power consumption of both PLLs, but
263
1768B–ATARM–08/03
prevents using the USB ports. Selecting the PLLB Clock saves the power consumption
of the PLLA by running the processor and the peripheral at 48 MHz required by the USB
ports. Selecting the PLLA Clock runs the processor and the peripherals at their maximum speed while running the USB ports at 48 MHz.
The Master Clock Controller is made up of a clock selector and a prescaler, as shown in
Figure 124. It also contains an optional Master Clock divider in products integrating an
ARM9 processor. This allows the processor clock to be faster than the Master Clock.
The Master Clock selection is made by writing the CSS field (Clock Source Selection) in
PMC_MCKR (Master Clock Register). The prescaler supports the division by a power of
2 of the selected clock between 1 and 64. The PRES field in PMC_MCKR programs the
prescaler.
When the Master Clock divider is implemented, it can be programmed between 1 and 4
through the MDIV field in PMC_MCKR.
Each time PMC_MCKR is written to define a new Master Clock, the MCKRDY bit is
cleared in PMC_SR. It reads 0 until the Master Clock is established. Then, the MCKRDY bit is set and can trigger an interrupt to the processor. This feature is useful when
switching from a high-speed clock to a lower one to inform the software when the
change is actually done.
Note:
A new value to be written in PMC_MCKR must not be the same as the current value in
PMC_MCKR.

Processor Clock Controller
The PMC features a Processor Clock Controller that implements the Idle Mode. The
Processor Clock can be enabled and disabled by writing the System Clock Enable
(PMC_SCER) and System Clock Disable Registers (PMC_SCDR). The status of this
clock (at least for debug purpose) can be read in the System Clock Status Register
(PMC_SCSR).
Processor Clock Source
The clock provided to the processor is determined by the Master Clock controller. On
ARM7-based systems, the Processor Clock source is directly the Master Clock.
On ARM9-based systems, the Processor Clock source might be 2, 3 or 4 times the Master Clock. This ratio value is determined by programming the field MDIV of the Master
Clock Register (PMC_MCKR).
Idle Mode
264
The Processor Clock is enabled after a reset and is automatically re-enabled by any
enabled interrupt. The Idle Mode is achieved by disabling the Processor Clock, which is
automatically re-enabled by any enabled fast or normal interrupt, or by the reset of the
product.
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
When the Processor Clock is disabled, the current instruction is finished before the clock
is stopped, but this does not prevent data transfers from other masters of the system
bus.
Peripheral Clock Controller
The PMC controls the clocks of each embedded peripheral. The user can individually
enable and disable the Master Clock on the peripherals by writing into the Peripheral
Clock Enable (PMC_PCER) and Peripheral Clock Disable (PMC_PCDR) registers. The
status of the peripheral clock activity can be read in the Peripheral Clock Status Register
(PMC_PCSR).
When a peripheral clock is disabled, the clock is immediately stopped. When the clock is
re-enabled, the peripheral resumes action where it left off. The peripheral clocks are
automatically disabled after a reset.
In order to stop a peripheral, it is recommended that the system software wait 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 bit number within the Peripheral Clock Control registers (PMC_PCER,
PMC_PCDR, and PMC_PCSR) is the Peripheral Identifier defined at the product level.
Generally, the bit number corresponds to the interrupt source number assigned to the
peripheral.
USB Clock Controller
If using one of the USB ports, the user has to program the Divider and PLL B block to
output a 48 MHz signal with an accuracy of ± 0.25%.
When the clock for the USB is stable, the USB device and host clocks, UDPCK and
UHPCK, can be enabled. They can be disabled when the USB transactions are finished,
so that the power consumption generated by the 48 MHz signal on these peripherals is
saved.
The USB ports require both the 48 MHz signal and the Master Clock. The Master Clock
may be controlled via the Peripheral Clock Controller.
USB Device Clock Control
The USB Device Port clock UDPCK can be enabled by writing 1 at the UDP bit in
PMC_SCER (System Clock Enable Register) and disabled by writing 1 at the bit UDP in
PMC_SCDR (System Clock Disable Register). The activity of UDPCK is shown in the bit
UDP of PMC_SCSR (System Clock Status Register).
USB Device Port Suspend
When the USB Device Port detects a suspend condition, the 48 MHz clock is automatically disabled, i.e., the UDP bit in PMC_SCSR is cleared. It is also possible to
automatically disable the Master Clock provided to the USB Device Port on a suspend
condition. The MCKUDP bit in PMC_SCSR configures this feature and can be set or
cleared by writing one in the same bit of PMC_SCER and PMC_SCDR.
USB Host Clock Control
The USB Host Port clock UHPCK can be enabled by writing 1 at the UHP bit in
PMC_SCER (System Clock Enable Register) and disabled by writing 1 at the UHP bit in
PMC_SCDR (System Clock Disable Register). The activity of UDPCK is shown in the bit
UHP of PMC_SCSR (System Clock Status Register).
Programmable Clock Output
Controller
The PMC controls up to four signals to be output on external pins PCK0 to PCK3. Each
signal can be independently programmed via the registers PMC_PCK0 to PMC_PCK3.
PCK0 to PCK3 can be independently selected between the four clocks provided by the
Clock Generator by writing the CSS field in PMC_PCK0 to PMC_PCK3. Each output
signal can also be divided by a power of 2 between 1 and 64 by writing the field PRES
(Prescaler) in PMC_PCK0 to PMC_PCK3.
265
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Each output signal can be enabled and disabled by writing 1 in the corresponding bit
PCK0 to PCK3 of PMC_SCER and PMC_SCDR, respectively. Status of the active programmable output clocks are given in the bits PCK0 to PCK3 of PMC_SCSR (System
Clock Status Register).
Moreover, like the MCK, a status bit in PMC_SR indicates that the Programmable Clock
is actually what has been programmed in the Programmable Clock registers.
As the Programmable Clock Controller does not manage with glitch prevention when
switching clocks, it is strongly recommended to disable the Programmable Clock before
any configuration change and to re-enable it after the change is actually performed.
Note also that it is required to assign the pin to the Programmable Clock operation in the
PIO Controller to enable the signal to be driven on the pin.

Timings
Table 60 gives the worst case timing required for the Master Clock to switch from one
selected clock to another one. This is in the event that the prescaler is de-activated.
When the prescaler is activated, an additional time of 64 clock cycles of the new
selected clock has to be added.

System Timer (ST)
Overview
The System Timer (ST) module integrates three different free-running timers:
•
A Period Interval Timer (PIT) that sets the time base for an operating system.
•
A Watchdog Timer (WDT) with system reset capabilities in case of software deadlock.
•
A Real-Time Timer (RTT) counting elapsed seconds.
These timers count using the Slow Clock provided by the Power Management Controller. Typically, this clock has a frequency of 32.768 kHz, but the System Timer might be configured to
support another frequency.
The System Timer provides an interrupt line connected to one of the sources of the Advanced
Interrupt Controller (AIC). Interrupt handling requires programming the AIC before configuring
the System Timer. Usually, the System Timer interrupt line is connected to the first interrupt
source line and shares this entry with the Debug Unit (DBGU) and the Real Time Clock (RTC).
This sharing requires the programmer to determine the source of the interrupt when the
source 1 is triggered.
Important features of the System Timer include:

Product

Power
Management
The System Timer is continuously clocked at 32768 Hz. The power management controller
has no effect on the system timer behavior.
Interrupt Sources
The System Timer interrupt is generally connected to the source 1 of the Advanced Interrupt
Controller. This interrupt line is the result of the OR-wiring of the system peripheral interrupt
lines (System Timer, Real Time Clock, Power Management Controller, Memory Controller).
When a system interrupt happens, the service routine must first determine the cause of the
interrupt. This is accomplished by reading successively the status registers of the above mentioned system peripherals.
Watchdog
Overflow
The System Timer is capable of driving the NWDOVF pin. This pin might be implemented or
not in a product. When it is implemented, this pin might or not be multiplexed on the PIO Controllers even though it is recommended to dedicate a pin to the watchdog function. If the
NWDOVF is multiplexed on a PIO Controller, this last should be first programmed to assign
the pin to the watchdog function before using the pin as NWDOVF.
When it is not implemented, programming the associated bits and registers has no effect on
the behavior of the System Timer.
Functional
Description
System Timer
Clock
The System Timer uses only the SLCK clock so that it is capable to provide periodic, watchdog, second change or alarm interrupt even if the Power Management Controller is
programmed to put the product in Slow Clock Mode. If the product has the capability to back
up the Slow Clock oscillator and the System Timer, the System Timer can continue to operate.
Period Interval
Timer (PIT)
The Period Interval Timer can be used to provide periodic interrupts for use by operating systems. The reset value of the PIT is 0 corresponding to the maximum value. It is built around a
16-bit down counter, which is preloaded by a value programmed in ST_PIMR (Period Interval
Mode Register). When the PIT counter reaches 0, the bit PITS is set in ST_SR (Status Register), and an interrupt is generated if it is enabled.
The counter is then automatically reloaded and restarted. Writing to the ST_PIMR at any time
immediately reloads and restarts the down counter with the new programmed value.
Warning: If ST_PIMR is programmed with a period less or equal to the current MCK period,
the update of the PITS status bit and its associated interrupt generation are unpredictable.

Watchdog Timer
(WDT)
The Watchdog Timer can be used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes trapped
in a deadlock. It is built around a 16-bit down counter loaded with the value defined in
ST_WDMR (Watchdog Mode Register).
At reset, the value of the ST_WDMR is 0x00020000, corresponding to the maximum value of
the counter. The watchdog overflow signal is tied low during 8 slow clock cycles when a
watchdog overflow occurs (EXTEN bit set in ST_WDMR).
It uses the Slow Clock divided by 128 to establish the maximum watchdog period to be 256
seconds (with a typical slow clock of 32.768 kHz).
In normal operation, the user reloads the Watchdog at regular intervals before the timer overflow occurs, by setting the bit WDRST in the ST_CR (Control Register).
If an overflow does occur, the watchdog timer:
•
Sets the WDOVF bit in ST_SR (Status Register), from which an interrupt can be
generated.
•
Generates a pulse for 8 slow clock cycles on the external signal watchdog overflow if the
bit EXTEN in ST_WDMR is set.
•
Generates an internal reset if the parameter RSTEN in ST_WDMR is set.
•
Reloads and restarts the down counter.
Writing the ST_WDMR does not reload or restart the down counter. When the ST_CR is written the watchdog counter is immediately reloaded from ST_WDMR and restarted and the
Slow Clock 128 divider is also immediately reset and restarted.

Real-time Timer
(RTT)
The Real-Time Timer is used to count elapsed seconds. It is built around a 20-bit counter fed
by Slow Clock divided by a programmable value. At reset, this value is set to 0x8000, corresponding to feeding the real-time counter with a 1 Hz signal when the Slow Clock is 32.768
Hz. The 20-bit counter can count up to 1048576 seconds, corresponding to more than 12
days, then roll over to 0.
The Real-Time Timer value can be read at any time in the register ST_CRTR (Current Realtime Register). As this value can be updated asynchronously to the master clock, it is advisable to read this register twice at the same value to improve accuracy of the returned value.
This current value of the counter is compared with the value written in the alarm register
ST_RTAR (Real-time Alarm Register). If the counter value matches the alarm, the bit ALMS in
TC_SR is set. The alarm register is set to its maximum value, corresponding to 0, after a reset.
The bit RTTINC in ST_SR is set each time the 20-bit counter is incremented. This bit can be
used to start an interrupt, or generate a one-second signal.
287
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Writing the ST_RTMR immediately reloads and restarts the clock divider with the new programmed value. This also resets the 20-bit counter.
Warning: If RTPRES is programmed with a period less or equal to the current MCK period, the update of
the RTTINC and ALMS status bits and their associated interrupt generation are unpredictable.

Real Time Controller (RTC)
Overview
The Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral 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 alarm and calendar registers
are accessed by a 32-bit data bus.
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 are 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.
Important features of the RTC include:
•
Low Power Consumption
•
Full Asynchronous Design
•
Two Hundred Year Calendar
•
Programmable Periodic Interrupt
•
Alarm and Update Parallel Load
•

Management
The Real-time Clock is continuously clocked at 32768 Hz. The Power Management Controller
has no effect on RTC behavior.
Interrupt
The RTC Interrupt is connected to interrupt source 1 (IRQ1) of the advanced interrupt controller. This interrupt line is due to the OR-wiring of the system peripheral interrupt lines (System
Timer, Real Time Clock, Power Management Controller, Memory Controller, etc.). When a
295
1768B–ATARM–08/03
system interrupt occurs, the service routine must first determine the cause of the interrupt.
This is done by reading the status registers of the above system peripherals successively.
Functional
Description
The RTC provides a full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock that 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.
After hardware reset, the calendar is initialized to Thursday, January 1, 1998.
Reference Clock
The reference clock is Slow Clock (SLCK). It can be driven by the Atmel cell OSC55 or OSC56
(or an equivalent cell) and an external 32.768 kHz crystal.
During low power modes of the processor (idle mode), the oscillator runs and power consumption is critical. The crystal selection has to take into account the current consumption for power
saving and the frequency drift due to temperature effect on the circuit for time accuracy.
Timing
The RTC is updated in real time at one-second intervals in normal mode for the counters of
seconds, at one-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 are required.
Alarm
The RTC has five programmable fields: month, date, hours, minutes and seconds.
Each of these fields can be enabled or disabled 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/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.
Error Checking
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 regard 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 validity register. The user can not reset this flag. It is reset as soon as an acceptable value is programmed. This avoids any further side effects in the hardware. The same
procedure is done for the alarm.
The following checks are performed:
1. Century (check if it is in range 19 - 20)
2. Year (BCD entry check)
3. Date (check range 01 - 31)
296
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
4. Month (check if it is in BCD range 01 - 12, check validity regarding “date”)
5. Day (check range 1 - 7)
6. Hour (BCD checks: 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:
Updating
Time/Calendar
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.
To update any of the time/calendar fields, the user must first stop the RTC by setting the corresponding field in the Control Register. 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. Once the bit reads 1, the user can write to the appropriate register.
Once the update is finished, the user must reset (0) UPDTIM and/or UPDCAL in the Control
Register.
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. In
successive update operations, the user must wait at least one second after resetting the
UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit in the RTC_CR (Control Register) before setting these bits again. This
is done by waiting for the SEC flag in the Status Register before setting UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit.
After resetting UPDTIM/UPDCAL, the SEC flag must also be cleared.

Debug Unit (DBGU)
Overview
The Debug Unit provides a single entry point from the processor for access to all the debug
capabilities of Atmel’s ARM-based systems.
The Debug Unit features a two-pin UART that can be used for several debug and trace purposes and offers an ideal medium for in-situ programming solutions and debug monitor
communications. Moreover, the association with two peripheral data controller channels permits packet handling for these tasks with processor time reduced to a minimum.
The Debug Unit also makes the Debug Communication Channel (DCC) signals provided by
the In-circuit Emulator of the ARM processor visible to the software. These signals indicate the
status of the DCC read and write registers and generate an interrupt to the ARM processor,
making possible the handling of the DCC under interrupt control.
Chip Identifier registers permit recognition of the device and its revision. These registers
inform as to the sizes and types of the on-chip memories, as well as the set of embedded
peripherals.
Finally, the Debug Unit features a Force NTRST capability that enables the software to decide
whether to prevent access to the system via the In-circuit Emulator. This permits protection of
the code, stored in ROM.

Product
Dependencies
I/O Lines
Depending on product integration, the Debug Unit pins may be multiplexed with PIO lines. In
this case, the programmer must first configure the corresponding PIO Controller to enable I/O
lines operations of the Debug Unit.
Power
Management
Depending on product integration, the Debug Unit clock may be controllable through the
Power Management Controller. In this case, the programmer must first configure the PMC to
enable the Debug Unit clock. Usually, the peripheral identifier used for this purpose is 1.
Interrupt Source
Depending on product integration, the Debug Unit interrupt line is connected to one of the
interrupt sources of the Advanced Interrupt Controller. Interrupt handling requires programming of the AIC before configuring the Debug Unit. Usually, the Debug Unit interrupt line
connects to the interrupt source 1 of the AIC, which may be shared with the real-time clock,
the system timer interrupt lines and other system peripheral interrupts, as shown in Figure
135. This sharing requires the programmer to determine the source of the interrupt when the
source 1 is triggered.
UART
Operations
The Debug Unit operates as a UART, (asynchronous mode only) and supports only 8-bit character handling (with parity). It has no clock pin.
The Debug Unit's UART is made up of a receiver and a transmitter that operate independently,
and a common baud rate generator. Receiver timeout and transmitter time guard are not
implemented. However, all the implemented features are compatible with those of a standard
USART.
Baud Rate
Generator
The baud rate generator provides the bit period clock named baud rate clock to both the
receiver and the transmitter.
The baud rate clock is the master clock divided by 16 times the value (CD) written in
DBGU_BRGR (Baud Rate Generator Register). If DBGU_BRGR is set to 0, the baud rate
clock is disabled and the Debug Unit's UART remains inactive. The maximum allowable baud
rate is Master Clock divided by 16. The minimum allowable baud rate is Master Clock divided
by (16 x 65536).

Receiver Reset,
Enable and Disable
After device reset, the Debug Unit receiver is disabled and must be enabled before being
used. The receiver can be enabled by writing the control register DBGU_CR with the bit RXEN
at 1. At this command, the receiver starts looking for a start bit.
The programmer can disable the receiver by writing DBGU_CR with the bit RXDIS at 1. If the
receiver is waiting for a start bit, it is immediately stopped. However, if the receiver has already
detected a start bit and is receiving the data, it waits for the stop bit before actually stopping its
operation.
The programmer can also put the receiver in its reset state by writing DBGU_CR with the bit
RSTRX at 1. In doing so, the receiver immediately stops its current operations and is disabled,
whatever its current state. If RSTRX is applied when data is being processed, this data is lost.
Start Detection and
Data Sampling
The Debug Unit only supports asynchronous operations, and this affects only its receiver. The
Debug Unit receiver detects the start of a received character by sampling the DRXD signal
until it detects a valid start bit. A low level (space) on DRXD 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 that 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 DRXD at the theoretical
midpoint of each bit. It is assumed that each bit lasts 16 cycles of the sampling clock (1-bit
period) so the bit sampling point is eight cycles (0.5-bit period) 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.

If DBGU_RHR has not been read by the software (or the Peripheral Data Controller) since the

DBGU_SR is set. OVRE is cleared when the software writes the control register DBGU_CR
with the bit RSTSTA (Reset Status) at 1.

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 DBGU_MR. It then compares the result with the received
parity bit. If different, the parity error bit PARE in DBGU_SR is set at the same time the
RXRDY is set. The parity bit is cleared when the control register DBGU_CR is written with the
bit RSTSTA (Reset Status) at 1. If a new character is received before the reset status command is written, the PARE bit remains at 1.

Receiver Framing
Error
When a start bit is detected, it generates a character reception when all the data bits have
been sampled. The stop bit is also sampled and when it is detected at 0, the FRAME (Framing
Error) bit in DBGU_SR is set at the same time the RXRDY bit is set. The bit FRAME remains
high until the control register DBGU_CR is written with the bit RSTSTA at 1.

Transmitter Reset,
Enable and Disable
After device reset, the Debug Unit transmitter is disabled and it must be enabled before being
used. The transmitter is enabled by writing the control register DBGU_CR with the bit TXEN at
1. From this command, the transmitter waits for a character to be written in the Transmit Holding Register DBGU_THR before actually starting the transmission.
The programmer can disable the transmitter by writing DBGU_CR with the bit TXDIS at 1. If
the transmitter is not operating, it is immediately stopped. However, if a character is being processed into the Shift Register and/or a character has been written in the Transmit Holding
Register, the characters are completed before the transmitter is actually stopped.
The programmer can also put the transmitter in its reset state by writing the DBGU_CR with
the bit RSTTX at 1. This immediately stops the transmitter, whether or not it is processing
characters.
Transmit Format
The Debug Unit transmitter drives the pin DTXD at the baud rate clock speed. The line is
driven depending on the format defined in the Mode Register and the data stored in the Shift
Register. One start bit at level 0, then the 8 data bits, from the lowest to the highest bit, one
optional parity bit and one stop bit at 1 are consecutively shifted out as shown on the following
figure. The field PARE in the mode register DBGU_MR defines whether or not a parity bit is
shifted out. When a parity bit is enabled, it can be selected between an odd parity, an even
parity, or a fixed space or mark bit.

When the transmitter is enabled, the bit TXRDY (Transmitter Ready) is set in the status register DBGU_SR. The transmission starts when the programmer writes in the Transmit Holding
Register DBGU_THR, and after the written character is transferred from DBGU_THR to the
Shift Register. The bit TXRDY remains high until a second character is written in DBGU_THR.

As soon as the first character is completed, the last character written in DBGU_THR is transferred into the shift register and TXRDY rises again, showing that the holding register is
empty.
When both the Shift Register and the DBGU_THR are empty, i.e., all the characters written in
DBGU_THR have been processed, the bit TXEMPTY rises after the last stop bit has been
completed.

Both the receiver and the transmitter of the Debug Unit's UART are generally connected to a
Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) channel.
The peripheral data controller channels are programmed via registers that are mapped within
the Debug Unit user interface from the offset 0x100. The status bits are reported in the Debug
Unit status register DBGU_SR and can generate an interrupt.
The RXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the receiver. This results in a read of
the data in DBGU_RHR. The TXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the transmitter. This results in a write of a data in DBGU_THR.
Test Modes
The Debug Unit supports three tests modes. These modes of operation are programmed by
using the field CHMODE (Channel Mode) in the mode register DBGU_MR.
The Automatic Echo mode allows bit-by-bit retransmission. When a bit is received on the
DRXD line, it is sent to the DTXD line. The transmitter operates normally, but has no effect on
the DTXD line.
The Local Loopback mode allows the transmitted characters to be received. DTXD and DRXD
pins are not used and the output of the transmitter is internally connected to the input of the
receiver. The DRXD pin level has no effect and the DTXD line is held high, as in idle state.
The Remote Loopback mode directly connects the DRXD pin to the DTXD line. The transmitter and the receiver are disabled and have no effect. This mode allows a bit-by-bit
retransmission.

Debug
Communication
Channel Support
The Debug Unit handles the signals COMMRX and COMMTX that come from the Debug
Communication Channel of the ARM Processor and are driven by the In-circuit Emulator.
The Debug Communication Channel contains two registers that are accessible through the
ICE Breaker on the JTAG side and through the coprocessor 0 on the ARM Processor side.
As a reminder, the following instructions are used to read and write the Debug Communication
Channel:
MRC
p14, 0, Rd, c1, c0, 0
Returns the debug communication data read register into Rd
MCR
p14, 0, Rd, c1, c0, 0
Writes the value in Rd to the debug communication data write register.
The bits COMMRX and COMMTX, which indicate, respectively, that the read register has
been written by the debugger but not yet read by the processor, and that the write register has
been written by the processor and not yet read by the debugger, are wired on the two highest
bits of the status register DBGU_SR. These bits can generate an interrupt. This feature permits handling under interrupt a debug link between a debug monitor running on the target
system and a debugger.
Chip Identifier
The Debug Unit features two chip identifier registers, DBGU_CIDR (Chip ID Register) and
DBGU_EXID (Extension ID). Both registers contain a hard-wired value that is read-only. The
first register contains the following fields:
•
EXT - shows the use of the extension identifier register
•
NVPTYP and NVPSIZ - identifies the type of embedded non-volatile memory and its size
•
ARCH - identifies the set of embedded peripheral
•
SRAMSIZ - indicates the size of the embedded SRAM
•
EPROC - indicates the embedded ARM processor
•
VERSION - gives the revision of the silicon
The second register is device-dependent and reads 0 if the bit EXT is 0.
ICE Access
Prevention
The Debug Unit allows blockage of access to the system through the ARM processor's ICE
interface. This feature is implemented via the register Force NTRST (DBGU_FNR), that allows
assertion of the NTRST signal of the ICE Interface. Writing the bit FNTRST (Force NTRST) to
1 in this register prevents any activity on the TAP controller.
On standard devices, the bit FNTRST resets to 0 and thus does not prevent ICE access.
This feature is especially useful on custom ROM devices for customers who do not want their
on-chip code to be visible.

Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO)
Overview
The Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) manages up to 32 fully programmable input/output
lines. Each I/O line may be dedicated as a general-purpose I/O or be assigned to a function of
an embedded peripheral. This assures effective optimization of the pins of a product.
Each I/O line is associated with a bit number in all of the 32-bit registers of the 32-bit wide
User Interface.
Each I/O line of the PIO Controller features:
•
An input change interrupt enabling level change on any I/O line.
•
A glitch filter providing rejection of pulses lower than one-half of clock cycle.
•
Multi-drive capability similar to an open drain I/O line.
•
Control of the the pull-up of the I/O line.
•
Input visibility and output control.
The PIO Controller also features a synchronous output providing up to 32 bits of data output in
a single write operation.
Important features of the PIO also include:
•
Up to 32 Programmable I/O Lines
•
Fully Programmable through Set/Clear Registers
•
Multiplexing of Two Peripheral Functions per I/O Line
•
For each I/O Line (Whether Assigned to a Peripheral or Used as General Purpose I/O)
•
–
Input Change Interrupt
–
Glitch Filter
–
Multi-drive Option Enables Driving in Open Drain
–
Programmable Pull Up on Each I/O Line
–
Pin Data Status Register, Supplies Visibility of the Level on the Pin at Any Time
Synchronous Output, Provides Set and Clear of Several I/O lines in a Single Write

Product Dependencies
Pin Multiplexing
Each pin is configurable, according to product definition as either a general-purpose I/O line
only, or as an I/O line multiplexed with one or two peripheral I/Os. As the multiplexing is hardware-defined and thus product-dependent, the hardware designer and programmer must
carefully determine the configuration of the PIO controllers required by their application. When
an I/O line is general-purpose only, i.e. not multiplexed with any peripheral I/O, programming
of the PIO Controller regarding the assignment to a peripheral has no effect and only the PIO
Controller can control how the pin is driven by the product.
External Interrupt
Lines
The interrupt signals FIQ and IRQ0 to IRQn are most generally multiplexed through the PIO
Controllers. However, it is not necessary to assign the I/O line to the interrupt function as the
PIO Controller has no effect on inputs and the interrupt lines (FIQ or IRQs) are used only as
inputs.
Power
Management
The Power Management Controller controls the PIO Controller clock in order to save power.
Writing any of the registers of the user interface does not require the PIO Controller clock to be
enabled. This means that the configuration of the I/O lines does not require the PIO Controller
clock to be enabled.
However, when the clock is disabled, not all of the features of the PIO Controller are available.
Note that the Input Change Interrupt and the read of the pin level require the clock to be
validated.
After a hardware reset, the PIO clock is disabled by default (see Power Management
Controller).
The user must configure the Power Management Controller before any access to the input line
information.
Interrupt
Generation
For interrupt handling, the PIO Controllers are considered as user peripherals. This means
that the PIO Controller interrupt lines are connected among the interrupt sources 2 to 31.
Refer to the PIO Controller peripheral identifier in the product description to identify the interrupt sources dedicated to the PIO Controllers.
The PIO Controller interrupt can be generated only if the PIO Controller clock is enabled.

Pull-up Resistor
Control
Each I/O line is designed with an embedded pull-up resistor. The value of this resistor is about
100 kΩ (see the product electrical characteristics for more details about this value). The pullup resistor can be enabled or disabled by writing respectively PIO_PUER (Pull-up Enable
Register) and PIO_PUDR (Pull-up Disable Resistor). Writing in these registers results in setting or clearing the corresponding bit in PIO_PUSR (Pull-up Status Register). Reading a 1 in
PIO_PUSR means the pull-up is disabled and reading a 0 means the pull-up is enabled.
Control of the pull-up resistor is possible regardless of the configuration of the I/O line.
After reset, all of the pull-ups are enabled, i.e. PIO_PUSR resets at the value 0x0.
I/O Line or
Peripheral
Function Selection
When a pin is multiplexed with one or two peripheral functions, the selection is controlled with
the registers PIO_PER (PIO Enable Register) and PIO_PDR (PIO Disable Register). The register PIO_PSR (PIO Status Register) is the result of the set and clear registers and indicates
whether the pin is controlled by the corresponding peripheral or by the PIO Controller. A value
of 0 indicates that the pin is controlled by the corresponding on-chip peripheral selected in the
PIO_ABSR (AB Select Status Register). A value of 1 indicates the pin is controlled by the PIO
controller.
If a pin is used as a general purpose I/O line (not multiplexed with an on-chip peripheral),
PIO_PER and PIO_PDR have no effect and PIO_PSR returns 1 for the corresponding bit.
After reset, most generally, the I/O lines are controlled by the PIO controller, i.e. PIO_PSR
resets at 1. However, in some events, it is important that PIO lines are controlled by the
peripheral (as in the case of memory chip select lines that must be driven inactive after reset
or for address lines that must be driven low for booting out of an external memory). Thus, the
reset value of PIO_PSR is defined at the product level, depending on the multiplexing of the
device.
Peripheral A or B
Selection
The PIO Controller provides multiplexing of up to two peripheral functions on a single pin. The
selection is performed by writing PIO_ASR (A Select Register) and PIO_BSR (Select B Register). PIO_ABSR (AB Select Status Register) indicates which peripheral line is currently
selected. For each pin, the corresponding bit at level 0 means peripheral A is selected
whereas the corresponding bit at level 1 indicates that peripheral B is selected.
Note that multiplexing of peripheral lines A and B only affects the output line. The peripheral
input lines are always connected to the pin input.
After reset, PIO_ABSR is 0, thus indicating that all the PIO lines are configured on peripheral
A. However, peripheral A generally does not drive the pin as the PIO Controller resets in I/O
line mode.
Writing in PIO_ASR and PIO_BSR manages PIO_ABSR regardless of the configuration of the
pin. However, assignment of a pin to a peripheral function requires a write in the corresponding peripheral selection register (PIO_ASR or PIO_BSR) in addition to a write in PIO_PDR.
Output Control
When the I/0 line is assigned to a peripheral function, i.e. the corresponding bit in PIO_PSR is
at 0, the drive of the I/O line is controlled by the peripheral. Peripheral A or B, depending on
the value in PIO_ABSR, determines whether the pin is driven or not.
When the I/O line is controlled by the PIO controller, the pin can be configured to be driven.
This is done by writing PIO_OER (Output Enable Register) and PIO_PDR (Output Disable
Register). The results of these write operations are detected in PIO_OSR (Output Status Register). When a bit in this register is at 0, the corresponding I/O line is used as an input only.
When the bit is at 1, the corresponding I/O line is driven by the PIO controller.
337
1768B–ATARM–08/03
The level driven on an I/O line can be determined by writing in PIO_SODR (Set Output Data
Register) and PIO_CODR (Clear Output Data Register). These write operations respectively
set and clear PIO_ODSR (Output Data Status Register), which represents the data driven on
the I/O lines. Writing in PIO_OER and PIO_ODR manages PIO_OSR whether the pin is configured to be controlled by the PIO controller or assigned to a peripheral function. This enables
configuration of the I/O line prior to setting it to be managed by the PIO Controller.
Similarly, writing in PIO_SODR and PIO_CODR effects PIO_ODSR. This is important as it
defines the first level driven on the I/O line.
Synchronous Data
Output
Using the write operations in PIO_SODR and PIO_CODR can require that several instructions
be executed in order to define values on several bits. Both clearing and setting I/O lines on an
8-bit port, for example, cannot be done at the same time, and thus might limit the application
covered by the PIO Controller.
To avoid these inconveniences, the PIO Controller features a Synchronous Data Output to
clear and set a number of I/O lines in a single write. This is performed by authorizing the writing of PIO_ODSR (Output Data Status Register) from the register set PIO_OWER (Output
Write Enable Register), PIO_OWDR (Output Write Disable Register) and PIO_OWSR (Output
Write Status Register). The value of PIO_OWSR register is user-definable by writing in
PIO_OWER and PIO_OWDR. It is used by the PIO Controller as a PIO_ODSR write authorization mask. Authorizing the write of PIO_ODSR on a user-definable number of bits is
especially useful, as it guarantees that the unauthorized bit will not be changed when writing it
and thus avoids the need of a time consuming read-modify-write operation.
After reset, the synchronous data output is disabled on all the I/O lines as PIO_OWSR resets
at 0x0.
Multi Drive Control
(Open Drain)
Each I/O can be independently programmed in Open Drain by using the Multi Drive feature.
This feature permits several drivers to be connected on the I/O line which is driven low only by
each device. An external pull-up resistor (or enabling of the internal one) is generally required
to guarantee a high level on the line.
The Multi Drive feature is controlled by PIO_MDER (Multi-driver Enable Register) and
PIO_MDDR (Multi-driver Disable Register). The Multi Drive can be selected whether the I/O
line is controlled by the PIO controller or assigned to a peripheral function. PIO_MDSR (Multidriver Status Register) indicates the pins that are configured to support external drivers.
After reset, the Multi Drive feature is disabled on all pins, i.e. PIO_MDSR resets at value 0x0.

Timings

Figure 150 shows how the outputs are driven either by writing PIO_SODR or PIO_CODR, or
by directly writing PIO_ODSR. This last case is valid only if the corresponding bit in
PIO_OWSR is set. Figure 150 also shows when the feedback in PIO_PDSR is available.

Inputs
The level on each I/O line can be read through PIO_PDSR (Peripheral Data Status Register).
This register indicates the level of the I/O lines regardless of their configuration, whether
uniquely as an input or driven by the PIO controller or driven by a peripheral.
Reading the I/O line levels requires the clock of the PIO controller to be enabled, otherwise
PIO_PDSR reads the levels present on the I/O line at the time the clock was disabled.
Input Glitch
Filtering
Optional input glitch filters are independently programmable on each I/O line. When the glitch
filter is enabled, a glitch with a duration of less than 1/2 Master Clock (MCK) cycle is automatically rejected, while a pulse with a duration of 1 Master Clock cycle or more is accepted. For
pulse durations between 1/2 Master Clock cycle and 1 Master Clock cycle the pulse may or
may not be taken into account, depending on the precise timing of its occurrence. Thus for a
pulse to be visible it must exceed 1 Master Clock cycle, whereas for a glitch to be reliably filtered out, its duration must not exceed 1/2 Master Clock cycle. The filter introduces one
Master Clock cycle latency if the pin level change occurs before a rising edge. However, this
latency does not appear if the pin level change occurs before a falling edge. This is illustrated
in Figure 151.
The glitch filters are controlled by the register set; PIO_IFER (Input Filter Enable Register),
PIO_IFDR (Input Filter Disable Register) and PIO_IFSR (Input Filter Status Register). Writing
PIO_IFER and PIO_IFDR respectively sets and clears bits in PIO_IFSR. This last register
enables the glitch filter on the I/O lines.
When the glitch filter is enabled, it does not modify the behavior of the inputs on the peripherals. It acts only on the value read in PIO_PDSR and on the input change interrupt detection.
The glitch filters require that the PIO Controller clock is enabled.

Input Change
Interrupt
The PIO Controller can be programmed to generate an interrupt when it detects an input
change on an I/O line. The Input Change Interrupt is controlled by writing PIO_IER (Interrupt
Enable Register) and PIO_IDR (Interrupt Disable Register), which respectively enable and
disable the input change interrupt by setting and clearing the corresponding bit in PIO_IMR
(Interrupt Mask Register). As Input change detection is possible only by comparing two successive samplings of the input of the I/O line, the PIO Controller clock must be enabled. The
Input Change Interrupt is available, regardless of the configuration of the I/O line, i.e. configured as an input only, controlled by the PIO Controller or assigned to a peripheral function.
When an input change is detected on an I/O line, the corresponding bit in PIO_ISR (Interrupt
Status Register) is set. If the corresponding bit in PIO_IMR is set, the PIO Controller interrupt
line is asserted. The interrupt signals of the thirty-two channels are ORed-wired together to
generate a single interrupt signal to the Advanced Interrupt Controller.
When the software reads PIO_ISR, all the interrupts are automatically cleared. This signifies
that all the interrupts that are pending when PIO_ISR is read must be handled.

Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) User Interface
Each I/O line controlled by the PIO Controller is associated with a bit in each of the PIO Controller User Interface registers.
Each register is 32 bits wide. If a parallel I/O line is not defined, writing to the corresponding bits has no effect. Undefined
bits read zero. If the I/O line is not multiplexed with any peripheral, the I/O line is controlled by the PIO Controller and
PIO_PSR returns 1 systematically.

Reset value of PIO_PSR depends on the product implementation.
PIO_ODSR is Read-only or Read/Write depending on PIO_OWSR I/O lines.
Reset value of PIO_PDSR depends on the level of the I/O lines.
PIO_ISR is reset at 0x0. However, the first read of the register may read a different value as input changes may have
occurred.
5. Only this set of registers clears the status by writing 1 in the first register and sets the status by writing 1 in the second

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) circuit is a synchronous serial data link that provides
communication with external devices in Master or Slave Mode. It also allows communication
between processors if an external processor is connected to the system.
The Serial Peripheral Interface is a shift register that serially transmits data bits to other SPIs.
During a data transfer, one SPI system acts as the master that controls the data flow, while the
other system acts as the slave, having data shifted into and out of it by the master. Different
CPUs can take turn being masters (Multiple Master Protocol versus Single Master Protocol
where one CPU is always the master while all of the others are always slaves), and one master may simultaneously shift data into multiple slaves. However, only one slave may drive its
output to write data back to the master at any given time.
A slave device is selected when the master asserts its NSS signal. If multiple slave devices
exist, the master generates a separate slave select signal for each slave (NPCS).
The SPI system consists of two data lines and two control lines:
•
Master Out Slave In (MOSI): This data line supplies the output data from the master
shifted into the input(s) of the slave(s).
•
Master In Slave Out (MISO): This data line supplies the output data from a slave to the
input of the master. There may be no more than one slave transmitting data during any
particular transfer.
•
Serial Clock (SPCK): This control line is driven by the master and regulates the flow of the
data bits. The master may transmit data at a variety of baud rates; the SPCK line cycles

Product Dependencies
I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the compliant external devices may be multiplexed with PIO
lines. The programmer must first program the PIO controllers to assign the SPI pins to their
peripheral functions.
Power
Management
The SPI may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first have to configure the PMC to enable the SPI clock.
Interrupt
The SPI interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC).
Handling the SPI interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the SPI.
Functional Description
Master Mode
Operations
When configured in Master Mode, the Serial Peripheral Interface 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 core
writes to the SPI_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 SPI_TDR, the SPI
continues to transfer data. If the SPI_RDR (Receive Data Register) has not been read before
new data is received, the Overrun Error (OVRES) flag is set.
Note:
As long as this flag is set, no data is loaded in the SPI_RDR. The user has to read the status
register to clear it.
The programmable 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 SPI_CSR0 to SPI_CSR3 (Chip Select
Registers).
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
Figure 159 and Figure 160 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 in Section .
Fixed Peripheral
Select
This mode is used 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 SPI_MR (Mode Register). The
peripheral is defined by the PCS field in SPI_MR.
This option is only available when the SPI is programmed in Master Mode.
Variable Peripheral
Select
Variable Peripheral Select is activated by setting bit PS to one. The PCS field in SPI_TDR 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 SPI_MR has no effect.
This option is only available when the SPI is programmed in Master Mode.

AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
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 SPI_MR (Mode Register) selects one to four 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 SPI_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 SPI_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 SPI_MR before writing new
data in SPI_TDR.
The value on the NPCS pins at the end of each transfer can be read in the SPI_RDR (Receive
Data Register).
By default, all NPCS signals are high (equal to one) before and after each transfer.
Clock Generation and
Transfer Delays
The SPI Baud rate clock is generated by dividing the Master Clock (MCK) or the Master Clock
divided by 32 (if DIV32 is set in the Mode Register) 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.
Figure 155 shows a chip select transfer change and consecutive transfers on the same chip
selects. Three delays can be programmed to modify the transfer waveforms:
•
Delay between chip selects, programmable only once for all the chip selects by writing the
field DLYBCS in the Mode Register. Allows insertion of a delay between release of one
chip select and before assertion of a new one.
•
Delay before SPCK, independently programmable for each chip select by writing the field
DLYBS. Allows the start of SPCK to be delayed until after the chip select has been
asserted.
•
Delay between consecutive transfers, independently programmable for each chip select by
writing the field DLYBCT. Allows insertion of a delay between two transfers occurring on
the same chip select
These delays allow the SPI to be adapted to the interfaced peripherals and their speed and
bus release time.

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 SPI_SR is set until the SPI_SR is read
and the SPI is disabled until re-enabled by bit SPIEN in the SPI_CR (Control Register).
By default, Mode Fault Detection is enabled. It is disabled by setting the MODFDIS bit in the
SPI Mode Register.

SPI 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 SPI_CSR0 are used to define the transfer
characteristics. The other Chip Select Registers are not used in Slave Mode.
In Slave Mode, the low and high pulse durations of the input clock on SPCK must be longer
than two Master Clock periods.

Data Transfer
Four modes are used for data transfers. These modes correspond to combinations of a pair of
parameters called clock polarity (CPOL) and clock phase (NCPHA) that determine the edges
of the clock signal on which the data are driven and sampled. Each of the two parameters has
two possible states, resulting in four possible combinations that are incompatible with one
another. Thus a master/slave pair must use the same parameter pair values to communicate.
If multiple slaves are used and fixed in different configurations, the master must reconfigure
itself each time it needs to communicate with a different slave.
Table 69 shows the four modes and corresponding parameter settings.

SPI_CSR0 defines peripheral chip select signals 0 to 3.
SPI_CSR1 defines peripheral chip select signals 4 to 7.
SPI_CSR2 defines peripheral chip select signals 8 to 11.
SPI_CSR3 defines peripheral chip select signals 12 to 15*.
*Note: 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.

CPOL
• CPOL: Clock Polarity
0 = The inactive state value of SPCK is logic level zero.
1 = The inactive state value of SPCK is logic level one.
CPOL is used to determine the inactive state value of the serial clock (SPCK). It is used with NCPHA to produce the
required clock/data relationship between master and slave devices.
• NCPHA: Clock Phase
0 = Data is changed on the leading edge of SPCK and captured on the following edge of SPCK.
1 = Data is captured on the leading edge of SPCK and changed on the following edge of SPCK.
NCPHA determines which edge of SPCK causes data to change and which edge causes data to be captured. NCPHA is
used with CPOL to produce the required clock/data relationship between master and slave devices.
• BITS: Bits Per Transfer
The BITS field determines the number of data bits transferred. Reserved values should not be used.

• SCBR: Serial Clock Baud Rate
In Master Mode, the SPI Interface uses a modulus counter to derive the SPCK baud rate from the Master Clock MCK. 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:
If DIV32 is 0:
SPCK Baudrate = MCK ⁄ ( 2 × SCBR )
If DIV32 is 1:
SPCK Baudrate = MCK ⁄ ( 64 × 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
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 equations determine the delay:
If DIV32 is 0:
Delay Before SPCK = DLYBS ⁄ MCK
If DIV32 is 1:
Delay Before SPCK = 32 × DLYBS ⁄ MCK
• DLYBCT: Delay Between Consecutive Transfers
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 minimum delay of four MCK cycles are inserted (or 128 MCK cycles when DIV32 is set)
between two consecutive characters.
Otherwise, the following equation determines the delay:
If DIV32 is 0:
Delay Between Consecutive Transfers = 32 × DLYBCT ⁄ MCK
If DIV32 is 1:
Delay Between Consecutive Transfers = 1024 × DLYBCT ⁄ MCK

Two-wire Interface (TWI)
Overview
The Two-wire Interface (TWI) interconnects components on a unique two-wire bus, made up
of one clock line and one data line with speeds of up to 400 Kbits per second, based on a byteoriented transfer format. It can be used with any Atmel two-wire bus serial EEPROM. The TWI
is programmable as a master with sequential or single-byte access.
A configurable baud rate generator permits the output data rate to be adapted to a wide range
of core clock frequencies.
The main features of the TWI are:
•
Compatibility with standard two-wire serial memory
•
One, two or three bytes for slave address
•
Sequential read/write operations

I/O Lines
Both TWD and TWCK are bi-directional lines, connected to a positive supply voltage via a current source or pull-up resistor (see Figure 162 on page 381). When the bus is free, both lines
are high. The output stages of devices connected to the bus must have an open-drain or opencollector to perform the wired-AND function.
TWD and TWCK pins may be multiplexed with PIO lines. To enable the TWI, the programmer
must perform the following steps:
•
Program the PIO controller to:
–
Dedicate TWD and TWCK as peripheral lines.
–
Define TWD and TWCK as open-drain.
Power
Management
•
Interrupt
The TWI interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC).
In order to handle interrupts, the AIC must be programmed before configuring the TWI.
Enable the peripheral clock.
The TWI interface may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the
programmer must first configure the PMC to enable the TWI clock.
Functional Description
Transfer Format
The data put on the TWD line must be eight bits long. Data is transferred MSB first; each byte
must be followed by an acknowledgement. The number of bytes per transfer is unlimited (see
Figure 164 on page 383).
Each transfer begins with a START condition and terminates with a STOP condition (see Figure 163 on page 382).
•
A high-to-low transition on the TWD line while TWCK is high defines the START condition.
•
A low-to-high transition on the TWD line while TWCK is high defines a STOP condition.

The TWI has two modes of operations:
•
Master transmitter mode
•
Master receiver mode
The TWI Control Register (TWI_CR) allows configuration of the interface in Master Mode. In
this mode, it generates the clock according to the value programmed in the Clock Waveform
Generator Register (TWI_CWGR). This register defines the TWCK signal completely,
enabling the interface to be adapted to a wide range of clocks.
Transmitting Data
After the master initiates a Start condition, it sends a 7-bit slave address, configured in the
Master Mode register (DADR in TWI_MMR), to notify the slave device. The bit following the
slave address indicates the transfer direction (write or read). If this bit is 0, it indicates a write
operation (transmit operation). If the bit is 1, it indicates a request for data read (receive
operation).
The TWI transfers require the slave to acknowledge each received byte. During the acknowledge clock pulse, the master releases the data line (HIGH), enabling the slave to pull it down
in order to generate the acknowledge. The master polls the data line during this clock pulse
and sets the NAK bit in the status register if the slave does not acknowledge the byte. As with
the other status bits, an interrupt can be generated if enabled in the interrupt enable register
(TWI_IER). After writing in the transmit-holding register (TWI_THR), setting the START bit in
the control register starts the transmission. The data is shifted in the internal shifter and when
an acknowledge is detected, the TXRDY bit is set until a new write in the TWI_THR (see Figure 166 on page 384). The master generates a stop condition to end the transfer.
The read sequence begins by setting the START bit. When the RXRDY bit is set in the status
register, a character has been received in the receive-holding register (TWI_RHR). The
RXRDY bit is reset when reading the TWI_RHR.
The TWI interface performs various transfer formats (7-bit slave address, 10-bit slave
address). The three internal address bytes are configurable through the Master Mode register
(TWI_MMR). If the slave device supports only a 7-bit address, the IADRSZ must be set to 0.
For slave address higher than seven bits, the user must configure the address size (IADRSZ)
and set the other slave address bits in the internal address register (TWI_IADR).

The following flowcharts shown in Figure 170 on page 386 and in Figure 171 on page 387 give
examples for read and write operations in Master Mode. A polling or interrupt method can be
used to check the status bits. The interrupt method requires that the interrupt enable register
(TWI_IER) be configured first.

• START: Send a START Condition
0 = No effect.
1 = A frame beginning with a START bit is transmitted according to the features defined in the mode register.
This action is necessary when the TWI peripheral wants to read data from a slave. When configured in Master Mode with a
write operation, a frame is sent with the mode register as soon as the user writes a character in the holding register.
• STOP: Send a STOP Condition
0 = No effect.
1 = STOP Condition is sent just after completing the current byte transmission in master read or write mode.
In single data byte master read or write, the START and STOP must both be set.
In multiple data bytes master read or write, the STOP must be set before ACK/NACK bit transmission.
In master read mode, if a NACK bit is received, the STOP is automatically performed.
In multiple data write operation, when both THR and shift register are empty, a STOP condition is automatically sent.
• MSEN: TWI Master Transfer Enabled
0 = No effect.
1 = If MSDIS = 0, the master data transfer is enabled.
• MSDIS: TWI Master Transfer Disabled
0 = No effect.
1 = The master data transfer is disabled, all pending data is transmitted. The shifter and holding characters (if it contains
data) are transmitted in case of write operation. In read operation, the character being transferred must be completely
received before disabling.
• SWRST: Software Reset
0 = No effect.

Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver (USART)
Overview
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver (USART) provides one full
duplex universal synchronous asynchronous serial link. Data frame format is widely programmable (data length, parity, number of stop bits) to support a maximum of standards. The
receiver implements parity error, framing error and overrun error detection. The receiver timeout enables handling variable-length frames and the transmitter timeguard facilitates communications with slow remote devices. Multi-drop communications are also supported through
address bit handling in reception and transmission.
The USART features three test modes: remote loopback, local loopback and automatic echo.
The USART supports specific operating modes providing interfaces on RS485 busses, with
ISO7816 T = 0 or T = 1 smart card slots, infrared transceivers and connection to modem ports.
The hardware handshaking feature enables an out-of-band flow control by automatic management of the pins RTS and CTS.
The USART supports the connection to the Peripheral Data Controller, which enables data
transfers to the transmitter and from the receiver. The PDC provides chained buffer management without any intervention of the processor.
Important features of the USART are:

I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the USART may be multiplexed with the PIO lines. The programmer must first program the PIO controller to assign the desired USART pins to their peripheral
function. If I/O lines of the USART are not used by the application, they can be used for other
purposes by the PIO Controller.
All the pins of the modems may or may not not be implemented on the USART within a product. Frequently, only the USART1 is fully equipped with all the modem signals. For the other
399
1768B–ATARM–08/03
USARTs of the product not equipped with the corresponding pin, the associated control bits
and statuses have no effect on the behavior of the USART.
Power
Management
The USART is not continuously clocked. The programmer must first enable the USART Clock
in the Power Management Controller (PMC) before using the USART. However, if the application does not require USART operations, the USART clock can be stopped when not needed
and be restarted later. In this case, the USART will resume its operations where it left off.
Configuring the USART does not require the USART clock to be enabled.
Interrupt
The USART interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the Advanced Interrupt Controller. Using the USART interrupt requires the AIC to be programmed first. Note that
it is not recommended to use the USART interrupt line in edge sensitive mode.

Baud Rate
Generator
NACK handling, error counter with repetition and iteration limit
remote loopback, local loopback, automatic echo
The Baud Rate Generator provides the bit period clock named the Baud Rate Clock to both
the receiver and the transmitter.
The Baud Rate Generator clock source can be selected by setting the USCLKS field in the
Mode Register (US_MR) between:
400
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
•
the Master Clock MCK
•
A division of the Master Clock, the divider being product dependent, but generally set to 8
•
the external clock, available on the SCK pin
The Baud Rate Generator is based upon a 16-bit divider, which is programmed with the CD
field of the Baud Rate Generator Register (US_BRGR). If CD is programmed at 0, the Baud
Rate Generator does not generate any clock. If CD is programmed at 1, the divider is
bypassed and becomes inactive.
If the external SCK clock is selected, the duration of the low and high levels of the signal provided on the SCK pin must be longer than a Master Clock (MCK) period. The frequency of the
signal provided on SCK must be at least 4.5 times lower than MCK.

Clock
If the USART is programmed to operate in asynchronous mode, the selected clock is first
divided by CD, which is field programmed in the Baud Rate Generator Register (US_BRGR).
The resulting clock is provided to the receiver as a sampling clock and then divided by 16 or 8,
depending on the programming of the OVER bit in US_MR.
If OVER is set to 1, the receiver sampling is 8 times higher than the baud rate clock. If OVER
is cleared, the sampling is performed at 16 times the baud rate clock.
The following formula performs the calculation of the Baud Rate.
SelectedClock
Baudrate = -------------------------------------------( 8 ( 2 – Over )CD )
This gives a maximum baud rate of MCK divided by 8, assuming that MCK is the highest possible clock and that OVER is programmed at 1.

In synchronous mode, if the external clock is selected (USCLKS = 3), the clock is provided
directly by the signal on the USART SCK pin. No division is active. The value written in
US_BRGR has no effect. The external clock frequency must be at least 4.5 times lower than
the system clock.
When either the external clock SCK or the internal clock divided (MCK/DIV) is selected, the
value programmed in CD must be even if the user has to ensure a 50:50 mark/space ratio on
the SCK pin. If the internal clock MCK is selected, the Baud Rate Generator ensures a 50:50
duty cycle on the SCK pin, even if the value programmed in CD is odd.
Baud Rate in ISO 7816
Mode
The ISO7816 specification defines the bit rate with the following formula:
Di
B = ------ × f
Fi
where:
•
B is the bit rate
•
Di is the bit-rate adjustment factor
•
Fi is the clock frequency division factor
•
f is the ISO7816 clock frequency (Hz)
Di is a binary value encoded on a 4-bit field, named DI, as represented in Table 75.

If the USART is configured in ISO7816 Mode, the clock selected by the USCLKS field in the
Mode Register (US_MR) is first divided by the value programmed in the field CD in the Baud
403
1768B–ATARM–08/03
Rate Generator Register (US_BRGR). The resulting clock can be provided to the SCK pin to
feed the smart card clock inputs. This means that the CLKO bit can be set in US_MR.
This clock is then divided by the value programmed in the FI_DI_RATIO field in the
FI_DI_Ratio register (US_FIDI). This is performed by the Sampling Divider, which performs a
division by up to 2047 in ISO7816 Mode. The non-integer values of the Fi/Di Ratio are not supported and the user must program the FI_DI_RATIO field to a value as close as possible to the
expected value.
The FI_DI_RATIO field resets to the value 0x174 (372 in decimal) and is the most common
divider between the ISO7816 clock and the bit rate (Fi = 372, Di = 1).
Figure 175 shows the relation between the Elementary Time Unit, corresponding to a bit time,
and the ISO 7816 clock.

Receiver and
Transmitter
Control
After reset, the receiver is disabled. The user must enable the receiver by setting the RXEN bit
in the Control Register (US_CR). However, the receiver registers can be programmed before
the receiver clock is enabled.
After reset, the transmitter is disabled. The user must enable it by setting the TXEN bit in the
Control Register (US_CR). However, the transmitter registers can be programmed before
being enabled.
The Receiver and the Transmitter can be enabled together or independently.
At any time, the software can perform a reset on the receiver or the transmitter of the USART
by setting the corresponding bit, RSTRX and RSTTX respectively, in the Control Register
(US_CR). The reset commands have the same effect as a hardware reset on the corresponding logic. Regardless of what the receiver or the transmitter is performing, the communication
is immediately stopped.
The user can also independently disable the receiver or the transmitter by setting RXDIS and
TXDIS respectively in US_CR. If the receiver is disabled during a character reception, the
USART waits until the end of reception of the current character, then the reception is stopped.
If the transmitter is disabled while it is operating, the USART waits the end of transmission of
both the current character and character being stored in the Transmit Holding Register
(US_THR). If a time guard is programmed, it is handled normally.

Synchronous and
Asynchronous
Modes
Transmitter
Operations
The transmitter performs the same in both synchronous and asynchronous operating modes
(SYNC = 0 or SYNC = 1). One start bit, up to 9 data bits, one optional parity bit and up to two
stop bits are successively shifted out on the TXD pin at each falling edge of the programmed
serial clock.
The number of data bits is selected by the CHRL field and the MODE9 bit in the Mode Register (US_MR). Nine bits are selected by setting the MODE 9 bit regardless of the CHRL field.
The parity bit is set according to the PAR field in US_MR. The even, odd, space, marked or
none parity bit can be configured. The MSBF field in US_MR configures which data bit is sent
first. If written at 1, the most significant bit is sent first. At 0, the less significant bit is sent first.
The number of stop bits is selected by the NBSTOP field in US_MR. The 1.5 stop bit is supported in asynchronous mode only.

The characters are sent by writing in the Transmit Holding Register (US_THR). The transmitter reports two status bits in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR): TXRDY (Transmitter
Ready), which indicates that US_THR is empty and TXEMPTY, which indicates that all the
characters written in US_THR have been processed. When the current character processing
is completed, the last character written in US_THR is transferred into the Shift Register of the
transmitter and US_THR becomes empty, thus TXRDY raises.
Both TXRDY and TXEMPTY bits are low since the transmitter is disabled. Writing a character
in US_THR while TXRDY is active has no effect and the written character is lost.

Asynchronous
Receiver
If the USART is programmed in asynchronous operating mode (SYNC = 0), the receiver oversamples the RXD input line. The oversampling is either 16 or 8 times the Baud Rate clock,
depending on the OVER bit in the Mode Register (US_MR).
The receiver samples the RXD line. If the line is sampled during one half of a bit time at 0, a
start bit is detected and data, parity and stop bits are successively sampled on the bit rate
clock.
If the oversampling is 16, (OVER at 0), a start is detected at the eighth sample at 0. Then, data
bits, parity bit and stop bit are sampled on each 16 sampling clock cycle. If the oversampling is
8 (OVER at 1), a start bit is detected at the fourth sample at 0. Then, data bits, parity bit and
stop bit are sampled on each 8 sampling clock cycle.
The number of data bits, first bit sent and parity mode are selected by the same fields and bits
as the transmitter, i.e. respectively CHRL, MODE9, MSBF and PAR. The number of stop bits
has no effect on the receiver as it considers only one stop bit, regardless of the field NBSTOP,
so that resynchronization between the receiver and the transmitter can occur. Moreover, as
soon as the stop bit is sampled, the receiver starts looking for a new start bit so that resynchronization can also be accomplished when the transmitter is operating with one stop bit.
Figure 178 and Figure 179 illustrate start detection and character reception when USART
operates in asynchronous mode.

Synchronous Receiver
In synchronous mode (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. All data bits, the parity bit and the stop bits are sampled and the receiver waits for the next start bit. Synchronous
mode operations provide a high speed transfer capability.
Configuration fields and bits are the same as in asynchronous mode.
Figure 180 illustrates a character reception in synchronous mode.

When a character reception is completed, it is transferred to the Receive Holding Register
(US_RHR) and the RXRDY bit in the Status Register (US_CSR) rises. If a character is completed while the RXRDY is set, the OVRE (Overrun Error) bit is set. The last character is
transferred into US_RHR and overwrites the previous one. The OVRE bit is cleared by writing
the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA (Reset Status) bit at 1.

Parity
The USART supports five parity modes selected by programming the PAR field in the Mode
Register (US_MR). The PAR field also enables the Multidrop mode, which is discussed in a
separate paragraph. Even and odd parity bit generation and error detection are supported.
If even parity is selected, the parity generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit at 1 if a
number of 1s in the character data bit is even, and at 0 if the number of 1s is odd. Accordingly,
the receiver parity checker counts the number of received 1s and reports a parity error if the
sampled parity bit does not correspond. If the odd parity is selected, the parity generator of the
407
1768B–ATARM–08/03
transmitter drives the parity bit at 0 if a number of 1s in the character data bit is even, and at 1
if the number of 1s is odd. Accordingly, the receiver parity checker counts the number of
received 1s and reports a parity error if the sampled parity bit does not correspond. If the mark
parity is used, the parity generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit at 1 for all characters.
The receiver parity checker reports an error if the parity bit is sampled at 0.If the space parity is
used, the parity generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit at 0 for all characters. The
receiver parity checker reports an error if the parity bit is sampled at 1. If parity is disabled, the
transmitter does not generate any parity bit and the receiver does not report any parity error.
Table 78 shows an example of the parity bit for the character 0x41 (character ASCII “A”)
depending on the configuration of the USART. Because there are two bits at 1, 1 bit is added
when a parity is odd, or 0 is added when a parity is even. I

When the receiver detects a parity error, it sets the PARE (Parity Error) bit in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR). The PARE bit can be cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR)
with the RSTSTA bit at 1. Figure 182 illustrates the parity bit status setting and clearing.

Multi-drop Mode
If the PAR field in the Mode Register (US_MR) is programmed to the value 0x3, the USART
runs in Multi-drop mode. This mode differentiates the data characters and the address characters. Data is transmitted with the parity bit at 0 and addresses are transmitted with the parity bit
at 1.
If the USART is configured in multi-drop mode, the receiver sets the PARE parity error bit
when the parity bit is high and the transmitter is able to send a character with the parity bit high
when the Control Register is written with the SENDA bit at 1.
408
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
To handle parity error, the PARE bit is cleared when the Control Register is written with the bit
RSTSTA at 1.
The transmitter sends an address byte (parity bit set) when SENDA is written to US_CR. In
this case, the next byte written to US_THR is transmitted as an address. Any character written
in US_THR without having written the command SENDA is transmitted normally with the parity
at 0.
Transmitter Timeguard
The timeguard feature enables the USART interface with slow remote devices.
The timeguard function enables the transmitter to insert an idle state on the TXD line between
two characters. This idle state actually acts as a long stop bit.
The duration of the idle state is programmed in the TG field of the Transmitter Timeguard Register (US_TTGR). When this field is programmed at zero no timeguard is generated.
Otherwise, the transmitter holds a high level on TXD after each transmitted byte during the
number of bit periods programmed in TG in addition to the number of stop bits.
As illustrated in Figure 183, the behavior of TXRDY and TXEMPTY status bits is modified by
the programming of a timeguard. TXRDY rises only when the start bit of the next character is
sent, and thus remains at 0 during the timeguard transmission if a character has been written
in US_THR. TXEMPTY remains low until the timeguard transmission is completed as the timeguard is part of the current character being transmitted.

The Receiver Time-out provides support in handling variable-length frames. This feature
detects an idle condition on the RXD line. When a time-out is detected, the bit TIMEOUT in the
Channel Status Register (US_CSR) rises and can generate an interrupt, thus indicating to the
driver an end of frame.
The time-out delay period (during which the receiver waits for a new character) is programmed
in the TO field of the Receiver Time-out Register (US_RTOR). If the TO field is programmed at
0, the Receiver Time-out is disabled and no time-out is detected. The TIMEOUT bit in
US_CSR remains at 0. Otherwise, the receiver loads a 16-bit counter with the value programmed in TO. This counter is decremented at each bit period and reloaded each time a new
character is received. If the counter reaches 0, the TIMEOUT bit in the Status Register rises.
The user can either:
•
Obtain an interrupt when a time-out is detected after having received at least one
character. This is performed by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the STTTO
(Start Time-out) bit at 1.
•
Obtain a periodic interrupt while no character is received. This is performed by writing
US_CR with the RETTO (Reload and Start Time-out) bit at 1.
If STTTO is performed, the counter clock is stopped until a first character is received. The idle
state on RXD before the start of the frame does not provide a time out. This prevents having to
obtain a periodic interrupt and enables a wait of the end of frame when the idle state on RXD
is detected.
If RETTO is performed, the counter starts counting down immediately from the value TO. This
enables generation of a periodic interrupt so that a user time-out can be handled, for example
when no key is pressed on a keyboard.

The receiver is capable of detecting framing errors. A framing error happens when the stop bit
of a received character is detected at level 0. This can occur if the receiver and the transmitter
are fully desynchronized.
A framing error is reported on the FRAME bit of the Channel Status Register (US_CSR). The
FRAME bit is asserted in the middle of the stop bit as soon as the framing error is detected. It
is cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA bit at 1.

Transmit Break
The user can request the transmitter to generate a break condition on the TXD line. A break
condition drives the TXD line low during at least one complete character. It appears the same
as a 0x00 character sent with the parity and the stop bits at 0. However, the transmitter holds
the TXD line at least during one character until the user requests the break condition to be
removed.
411
1768B–ATARM–08/03
A break is transmitted by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the STTBRK bit at 1. This
can be performed at any time, either while the transmitter is empty (no character in either the
Shift Register or in US_THR) or when a character is being transmitted. If a break is requested
while a character is being shifted out, the character is first completed before the TXD line is
held low.
Once STTBRK command is requested further STTBRK commands are ignored until the end of
the break is completed.
The break condition is removed by writing US_CR with the STPBRK bit at 1. If the STPBRK is
requested before the end of the minimum break duration (one character, including start, data,
parity and stop bits), the transmitter ensures that the break condition completes.
The transmitter considers the break as though it is a character, i.e. the STTBRK and STPBRK
commands are taken into account only if the TXRDY bit in US_CSR is at 1 and the start of the
break condition clears the TXRDY and TXEMPTY bits as if a character is processed.
Writing US_CR with the both STTBRK and STPBRK bits at 1 can lead to an unpredictable
result. 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, is
ignored.
After the break condition, the transmitter returns the TXD line to 1 for a minimum of 12 bit
times. Thus, the transmitter ensures that the remote receiver detects correctly the end of
break and the start of the next character. If the timeguard is programmed with a value higher
than 12, the TXD line is held high for the timeguard period.
After holding the TXD line for this period, the transmitter resumes normal operations.
Figure 186 illustrates the effect of both the Start Break (STTBRK) and Stop Break (STP BRK)
commands on the TXD line.

Receive Break
The receiver detects a break condition when all data, parity and stop bits are low. This corresponds to detecting a framing error with data at 0x00, but FRAME remains low.
When the low stop bit is detected, the receiver asserts the RXBRK bit in US_CSR. This bit
may be cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the bit RSTSTA at 1.
An end of receive break is detected by a high level for at least 2/16 of a bit period in asynchronous operating mode or one sample at high level in synchronous operating mode. The end of
break detection also asserts the RXBRK bit.

Hardware
Handshaking
The USART features a hardware handshaking out-of-band flow control. The RTS and CTS
pins are used to connect with the remote device, as shown in Figure 187.

Setting the USART to operate with hardware handshaking is performed by writing the
USART_MODE field in the Mode Register (US_MR) to the value 0x2.
The USART behavior when hardware handshaking is enabled is the same as the behavior in
standard synchronous or asynchronous mode, except that the receiver drives the RTS pin as
described below and the level on the CTS pin modifies the behavior of the transmitter as
described below. Using this mode requires using the PDC channel for reception. The transmitter can handle hardware handshaking in any case.
Figure 188 shows how the receiver operates if hardware handshaking is enabled. The RTS
pin is driven high if the receiver is disabled and if the status RXBUFF (Receive Buffer Full)
coming from the PDC channel is high. Normally, the remote device does not start transmitting
while its CTS pin (driven by RTS) is high. As soon as the Receiver is enabled, the RTS falls,
indicating to the remote device that it can start transmitting. Defining a new buffer to the PDC
clears the status bit RXBUFF and, as a result, asserts the pin RTS low.

ISO7816 Mode
The USART features an ISO7816-compatible operating mode. This mode permits interfacing
with smart cards and Security Access Modules (SAM) communicating through an ISO7816
link. Both T = 0 and T = 1 protocols defined by the ISO7816 specification are supported.
Setting the USART in ISO7816 mode is performed by writing the USART_MODE field in the
Mode Register (US_MR) to the value 0x4 for protocol T = 0 and to the value 0x5 for protocol T
= 1.
ISO7816 Mode
overview
The ISO7816 is a half duplex communication on only one bidirectional line. The baud rate is
determined by a division of the clock provided to the remote device (see “Baud Rate Generator” on page 400).
The USART connects to a smart card. as shown in Figure 190. The TXD line becomes bidirectional and the Baud Rate Generator feeds the ISO7816 clock on the SCK pin. As the TXD pin
becomes bidirectional, its output remains driven by the output of the transmitter but only when
the transmitter is active while its input is directed to the input of the receiver. The USART is
considered as the master of the communication as it generates the clock.
Figure 190. Connection of a Smart Card to the USART
USART
SCK
TXD
CLK
I/O
Smart
Card
When operating in ISO7816, either in T = 0 or T = 1 modes, the character format is fixed. The
configuration is 8 data bits, even parity and 1 or 2 stop bits, regardless of the values programmed in the CHRL, MODE9, PAR and CHMODE fields. MSBF can be used to transmit
LSB or MSB first.
The USART cannot operate concurrently in both receiver and transmitter modes as the communication is unidirectional at a time. It has to be configured according to the required mode
by enabling or disabling either the receiver or the transmitter as desired. Enabling both the
receiver and the transmitter at the same time in ISO7816 mode may lead to unpredictable
results.
The ISO7816 specification defines an inverse transmission format. Data bits of the character
must be transmitted on the I/O line at their negative value. The USART does not support this
format and the user has to perform an exclusive OR on the data before writing it in the Transmit Holding Register (US_THR) or after reading it in the Receive Holding Register (US_RHR).
Protocol T = 0
In T = 0 protocol, a character is made up of one start bit, eight data bits, one parity bit and one
guard time, which lasts two bit times. The transmitter shifts out the bits and does not drive the
I/O line during the guard time.
If no parity error is detected, the I/O line remains at 1 during the guard time and the transmitter
can continue with the transmission of the next character, as shown in Figure 191.
If a parity error is detected by the receiver, it drives the I/O line at 0 during the guard time, as
shown in Figure 192. This error bit is also named NACK, for Non Acknowledge. In this case,
the character lasts 1 bit time more, as the guard time length is the same and is added to the
error bit time which lasts 1 bit time.

When the USART is the receiver and it detects an error, it does not load the erroneous character in the Receive Holding Register (US_RHR). It appropriately sets the PARE bit in the Status
Register (US_SR) so that the software can handle the error.

Receive Error Counter
The USART receiver also records the total number of errors. This can be read in the Number
of Error (US_NER) register. The NB_ERRORS field can record up to 255 errors. Reading
US_NER automatically clears the NB_ERRORS field.
Receive NACK Inhibit
The USART can also be configured to inhibit an error. This can be achieved by setting the
INACK bit in the Mode Register (US_MR). If INACK is at 1, no error signal is driven on the I/O
line even if a parity bit is detected, but the INACK bit is set in the Status Register (US_SR).
The INACK bit can be cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTNACK bit
at 1.
Moreover, if INACK is set, the erroneous received character is stored in the Receive Holding
Register, as if no error occurred. However, the RXRDY bit does not raise.
Transmit Character
Repetition
When the USART is transmitting a character and gets a NACK, it can automatically repeat the
character before moving on to the next one. Repetition is enabled by writing the
MAX_ITERATION field in the Mode Register (US_MR) at a value higher than 0. Each character can be transmitted up to eight times; the first transmission plus seven repetitions.
If MAX_ITERATION does not equal zero, the USART repeats the character as many times as
the value loaded in MAX_ITERATION.
When the USART repetition number reaches MAX_ITERATION, the ITERATION bit is set in
the Channel Status Register (US_CSR). If the repetition of the character is acknowledged by
the receiver, the repetitions are stopped and the iteration counter is cleared.
The ITERATION bit in US_CSR can be cleared by writing the Control Register with the RSIT
bit at 1.
Disable Successive
Receive NACK
The receiver can limit the number of successive NACKs sent back to the remote transmitter.
This is programmed by setting the bit DSNACK in the Mode Register (US_MR). The maximum
number of NACK transmitted is programmed in the MAX_ITERATION field. As soon as
415
1768B–ATARM–08/03
MAX_ITERATION is reached, the character is considered as correct, an acknowledge is sent
on the line and the ITERATION bit in the Channel Status Register is set.
Protocol T = 1
When operating in ISO7816 protocol T = 1, the transmission is similar to an asynchronous format with only one stop bit. The parity is generated when transmitting and checked when
receiving. Parity error detection sets the PARE bit in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR).
IrDA Mode
The USART features an IrDA mode supplying half-duplex point-to-point wireless communication. It embeds the modulator and demodulator which allows a glueless connection to the
infrared transceivers, as shown in Figure 193. The modulator and demodulator are compliant
with the IrDA specification version 1.1 and support data transfer speeds ranging from 2,4 Kbps
to 115,2 Kbps.
The USART IrDA mode is enabled by setting the USART_MODE field in the Mode Register
(US_MR) to the value 0x8. The IrDA Filter Register (US_IF) allows configuring the demodulator filter. The USART transmitter and receiver operate in a normal asynchronous mode and all
parameters are accessible. Note that the modulator and the demodulator are activated.

IrDA Demodulator
The demodulator is based on the IrDA Receive filter comprised of an 8-bit down counter which
is loaded with the value programmed in US_IF. When a falling edge is detected on the RXD
pin, the Filter Counter starts counting down at the Master Clock (MCK) speed. If a rising edge
is detected on the RXD pin, the counter stops and is reloaded with US_IF. If no rising edge is
detected when the counter reaches 0, the input of the receiver is driven low during one bit
time.
Figure 195 illustrates the operations of the IrDA demodulator.

As the IrDA mode uses the same logic as the ISO7816, note that the FI_DI_RATIO field in
US_FIDI must be set to a value higher than 0 in order to assure IrDA communications operate
correctly.

RS485 Mode
The USART features the RS485 mode to enable line driver control. While operating in RS485
mode, the USART behaves as though in asynchronous or synchronous mode and configuration of all the parameters are possible. The difference is that the RTS pin is driven low when
the transmitter is operating. The behavior of the RTS pin is controlled by the TXEMPTY bit. A
typical connection of the USART to a RS485 bus is shown in Figure 196.

USART
RXD
Differential
Bus
TXD
RTS
The USART is set in RS485 mode by programming the USART_MODE field in the Mode Register (US_MR) to the value 0x1.
The RTS pin is at a level inverse of the TXEMPTY bit. Significantly, the RTS pin remains low
when a timeguard is programmed so that the line can remain driven after the last character
completion. Figure 197 gives an example of the RTS waveform during a character transmission when the timeguard is enabled.

Modem Mode
The USART features modem mode, which enables control of the signals: DTR (Data Terminal
Ready), DSR (Data Set Ready), RTS (Request to Send), CTS (Clear to Send), DCD (Data
Carrier Detect) and RI (Ring Indicator). While operating in modem mode, the USART behaves
as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) as it drives DTR and RTS and can detect level change
on DSR, DCD, CTS and RI.
Setting the USART in modem mode is performed by writing the USART_MODE field in the
Mode Register (US_MR) to the value 0x3. While operating in modem mode the USART
behaves as though in asynchronous mode and all the parameter configurations are available.
Table 83 gives the correspondence of the USART signals with modem connection standards.

The control of the RTS and DTR output pins is performed by witting the Control Register
(US_CR) with the RTSDIS, RTSEN, DTRDIS and DTREN bits respectively at 1. The disable
command forces the corresponding pin to its inactive level, i.e. high. The enable commands
force the corresponding pin to its active level, i.e. low.
The level changes are detected on the RI, DSR, DCD and CTS pins. If an input change is
detected, the RIIC, DSRIC, DCDIC and CTSIC bits in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR)
are set respectively and can trigger an interrupt. The status is automatically cleared when
US_CSR is read. Furthermore, the CTS automatically disables the transmitter when it is
detected at its inactive state. If a character is being transmitted when the CTS rises, the character transmission is completed before the transmitter is actually disabled.
Test Modes
The USART can be programmed to operate in three different test modes. The internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. In the loopback mode the USART interface pins
are disconnected or not and reconfigured for loopback internally or externally.
Normal Mode
As a reminder, the normal mode simply connects the RXD pin on the receiver input and the
transmitter output on the TXD pin.

Automatic Echo
Automatic echo mode allows bit-by-bit retransmission. When a bit is received on the RXD pin,
it is sent to the TXD pin, as shown in Figure 199. Programming the transmitter has no effect on
the TXD pin. The RXD pin is still connected to the receiver input, thus the receiver remains
active.

Local Loopback
The local loopback mode connects the output of the transmitter directly to the input of the
receiver, as shown in Figure 200. The TXD and RXD pins are not used. The RXD pin has no
effect on the receiver and the TXD pin is continuously driven high, as in idle state.

Serial Synchronous Controller (SSC)
Overview
The Atmel Synchronous Serial Controller (SSC) provides a synchronous communication link
with external devices. It supports many serial synchronous communication protocols generally
used in audio and telecom applications such as I2S, Short Frame Sync, Long Frame Sync,
etc.
The SSC contains an independent receiver and transmitter and a common clock divider. The
receiver and the transmitter each interface with three signals: the TD/RD signal for data, the
TK/RK signal for the clock and the TF/RF signal for the Frame Sync. Transfers contain up to
16 data of up to 32 bits. they can be programmed to start automatically or on different events
detected on the Frame Sync signal.
The SSC’s high-level of programmability and its two dedicated PDC channels of up to 32 bits
permit a continuous high bit rate data transfer without processor intervention.
Featuring connection to two PDC channels, the SSC permits interfacing with low processor
overhead to the following:
•
CODECs in master or slave mode
•
DAC through dedicated serial interface, particularly I2S
•
Magnetic card reader
Features of the SSC are:
•
Provides Serial Synchronous Communication Links Used in Audio and Telecom
Applications
•
Contains an Independent Receiver and Transmitter and a Common Clock Divider
•
Interfaced with Two PDC Channels (DMA Access) to Reduce Processor Overhead
•
Offers a Configurable Frame Sync and Data Length
•
Receiver and Transmitter can be Programmed to Start Automatically or on Detection of
Different Event on the Frame Sync Signal
•
Receiver and Transmitter Include a Data Signal, a Clock Signal and a Frame
Synchronization Signal

I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the compliant external devices may be multiplexed with PIO
lines.
Before using the SSC receiver, the PIO controller must be configured to dedicate the SSC
receiver I/O lines to the SSC peripheral mode.
Before using the SSC transmitter, the PIO controller must be configured to dedicate the SSC
transmitter I/O lines to the SSC peripheral mode.
Power
Management
The SSC is not continuously clocked. The SSC interface may be clocked through the Power
Management Controller (PMC), therefore the programmer must first configure the PMC to
enable the SSC clock.
Interrupt
The SSC interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC).
Handling interrupts requires programming the AIC before configuring the SSC.
All SSC interrupts can be enabled/disabled configuring the SSC Interrupt mask register. Each
pending and unmasked SSC interrupt will assert the SSC interrupt line. The SSC interrupt service routine can get the interrupt origin by reading the SSC interrupt status register.

Functional
Description
This chapter contains the functional description of the following: SSC Functional Block, Clock
Management, Data format, Start, Transmitter, Receiver and Frame Sync.
The receiver and transmitter operate separately. However, they can work synchronously by
programming the receiver to use the transmit clock and/or to start a data transfer when transmission starts. Alternatively, this can be done by programming the transmitter to use the
receive clock and/or to start a data transfer when reception starts. The transmitter and the
receiver can be programmed to operate with the clock signals provided on either the TK or RK
pins. This allows the SSC to support many slave-mode data transfers. The maximum clock
speed allowed on the TK and RK pins is the master clock divided by 2. Each level of the clock
must be stable for at least two master clock periods.

Clock
Management
The transmitter clock can be generated by:
•
an external clock received on the TK I/O pad
•
the receiver clock
•
the internal clock divider
The receiver clock can be generated by:
•
an external clock received on the RK I/O pad
•
the transmitter clock
•
the internal clock divider
Furthermore, the transmitter block can generate an external clock on the TK I/O pad, and the
receiver block can generate an external clock on the RK I/O pad.
This allows the SSC to support many Master and Slave-mode data transfers.
Clock Divider

12-bit Counter

Divided Clock
The Master Clock divider is determined by the 12-bit field DIV counter and comparator (so its
maximal value is 4095) in the Clock Mode Register SSC_CMR, allowing a Master Clock division by up to 8190. The Divided Clock is provided to both the Receiver and Transmitter. When
this field is programmed to 0, the Clock Divider is not used and remains inactive.
When DIV is set to a value equal or greater to 1, the Divided Clock has a frequency of Master
Clock divided by 2 times DIV. Each level of the Divided Clock has a duration of the Master
Clock multiplied by DIV. This ensures a 50% duty cycle for the Divided Clock regardless if the
DIV value is even or odd.

Transmitter Clock
Management
The transmitter clock is generated from the receiver clock or the divider clock or an external
clock scanned on the TK I/O pad. The transmitter clock is selected by the CKS field in
SSC_TCMR (Transmit Clock Mode Register). Transmit Clock can be inverted independently
by the CKI bits in SSC_TCMR.
The transmitter can also drive the TK I/O pad continuously or be limited to the actual data
transfer. The clock output is configured by the SSC_TCMR register. The Transmit Clock Inversion (CKI) bits have no effect on the clock outputs. Programming the TCMR register to select
TK pin (CKS field) and at the same time Continuous Transmit Clock (CKO field) might lead to
unpredictable results.

Transmitter
Operations
A transmitted frame is triggered by a start event and can be followed by synchronization data
before data transmission.
The start event is configured by setting the Transmit Clock Mode Register (SSC_TCMR). See
“Start” on page 448.
The frame synchronization is configured setting the Transmit Frame Mode Register
(SSC_TFMR). See “Frame Sync” on page 450.
To transmit data, the transmitter uses a shift register clocked by the transmitter clock signal
and the start mode selected in the SSC_TCMR. Data is written by the application to the
SSC_THR register then transferred to the shift register according to the data format selected.
When both the SSC_THR and the transmit shift register are empty, the status flag TXEMPTY
is set in SSC_SR. When the Transmit Holding register is transferred in the Transmit shift register, the status flag TXRDY is set in SSC_SR and additional data can be loaded in the holding
register.

Operations
A received frame is triggered by a start event and can be followed by synchronization data

“Start” on page 448.
The frame synchronization is configured setting the Receive Frame Mode Register
(SSC_RFMR). See “Frame Sync” on page 450.
The receiver uses a shift register clocked by the receiver clock signal and the start mode
selected in the SSC_RCMR. The data is transferred from the shift register in function of data
format selected.
When the receiver shift register is full, the SSC transfers this data in the holding register, the
status flag RXRDY is set in SSC_SR and the data can be read in the receiver holding register,
if another transfer occurs before read the RHR register, the status flag OVERUN is set in
SSC_SR and the receiver shift register is transferred in the RHR register.

Start
The transmitter and receiver can both be programmed to start their operations when an event
occurs, respectively in the Transmit Start Selection (START) field of SSC_TCMR and in the
Receive Start Selection (START) field of SSC_RCMR.
Under the following conditions the start event is independently programmable:
•
Continuous. In this case, the transmission starts as soon as a word is written in SSC_THR
and the reception starts as soon as the Receiver is enabled.
•
Synchronously with the transmitter/receiver
•
On detection of a falling/rising edge on TK/RK
•
On detection of a low level/high level on TK/RK
•
On detection of a level change or an edge on TK/RK
A start can be programmed in the same manner on either side of the Transmit/Receive Clock
Register (RCMR/TCMR). Thus, the start could be on TF (Transmit) or RF (Receive).
Detection on TF/RF input/output is done through the field FSOS of the Transmit / Receive
Frame Mode Register (TFMR/RFMR).

Frame Sync
The Transmitter and Receiver Frame Sync pins, TF and RF, can be programmed to generate
different kinds of frame synchronization signals. The Frame Sync Output Selection (FSOS)
field in the Receive Frame Mode Register (SSC_RFMR) and in the Transmit Frame Mode
Register (SSC_TFMR) are used to select the required waveform.
•
Programmable low or high levels during data transfer are supported.
•
Programmable high levels before the start of data transfers or toggling are also supported.
If a pulse waveform is selected, the Frame Sync Length (FSLEN) field in SSC_RFMR and
SSC_TFMR programs the length of the pulse, from 1-bit time up to 16-bit time.
The periodicity of the Receive and Transmit Frame Sync pulse output can be programmed
through the Period Divider Selection (PERIOD) field in SSC_RCMR and SSC_TCMR.
Frame Sync Data
Frame Sync Data transmits or receives a specific tag during the Frame Synchro signal.
During the Frame Sync signal, the Receiver can sample the RD line and store the data in the
Receive Sync Holding Register and the transmitter can transfer Transmit Sync Holding Register in the Shifter Register. The data length to be sampled/shifted out during the Frame Sync
signal is programmed by the FSLEN field in SSC_RFMR/SSC_TFMR.
Concerning the Receive Frame Sync Data operation, if the Frame Sync Length is equal to or
lower than the delay between the start event and the actual data reception, the data sampling
operation is performed in the Receive Sync Holding Register through the Receive Shift
Register.
The Transmit Frame Sync Operation is performed by the transmitter only if the bit Frame Sync
Data Enable (FSDEN) in SSC_TFMR is set. If the Frame Sync length is equal to or lower than
the delay between the start event and the actual data transmission, the normal transmission
has priority and the data contained in the Transmit Sync Holding Register is transferred in the
Transmit Register then shifted out.
Frame Sync Edge
Detection
The Frame Sync Edge detection is programmed by the FSEDGE field in
SSC_RFMR/SSC_TFMR. This sets the corresponding flags RXSYN/TXSYN in the SSC Status Register (SSC_SR) on frame synchro edge detection (signals RF/TF).
Data Format
The data framing format of both the transmitter and the receiver are largely programmable
through the Transmitter Frame Mode Register (SSC_TFMR) and the Receiver Frame Mode
Register (SSC_RFMR). In either case, the user can independently select:
•
The event that starts the data transfer (START).
•
The delay in number of bit periods between the start event and the first data bit (STTDLY).
•
The length of the data (DATLEN)
•
The number of data to be transferred for each start event (DATNB).
•
The length of Synchronization transferred for each start event (FSLEN).
•
The bit sense: most or lowest significant bit first (MSBF).
Additionally, the transmitter can be used to transfer Synchronization and select the level
driven on the TD pin while not in data transfer operation. This is done respectively by the
Frame Sync Data Enable (FSDEN) and by the Data Default Value (DATDEF) bits in
SSC_TFMR.

Interrupt
Most bits in SSC_SR have a corresponding bit in interrupt management registers.
The SSC Controller can be programmed to generate an interrupt when it detects an event.
The Interrupt is controlled by writing SSC_IER (Interrupt Enable Register) and SSC_IDR
(Interrupt Disable Register), which respectively enable and disable the corresponding interrupt
by setting and clearing the corresponding bit in SSC_IMR (Interrupt Mask Register), which
controls the generation of interrupts by asserting the SSC interrupt line connected to the AIC.

If STTDLY is not 0, a delay of STTDLY clock cycles is inserted between the start event and the actual start of reception.
When the Receiver is programmed to start synchronously with the Transmitter, the delay is also applied.
Please Note: It is very important that STTDLY be set carefully. If STTDLY must be set, it should be done in relation to TAG
(Receive Sync Data) reception.
• PERIOD: Receive Period Divider Selection
This field selects the divider to apply to the selected Receive Clock in order to generate a new Frame Sync Signal. If 0, no
PERIOD signal is generated. If not 0, a PERIOD signal is generated each 2 x (PERIOD+1) Receive Clock.

Timer Counter (TC)
Overview
The Timer Counter (TC) includes three identical 16-bit Timer Counter channels.
Each channel can be independently programmed to perform a wide range of functions including frequency measurement, event counting, interval measurement, pulse generation, delay
timing and pulse width modulation.
Each 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.
The Timer Counter block has two global registers which act upon all three TC channels.
The Block Control Register allows the three channels to be started simultaneously with the
same instruction.
The Block Mode Register defines the external clock inputs for each channel, allowing them to
be chained.

For further details on the Timer Counter hardware implementation, see the specific Product
Properties document.
I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the compliant external devices may be multiplexed with PIO
lines. The programmer must first program the PIO controllers to assign the TC pins to their
peripheral functions.
Power
Management
The TC must be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first configure the PMC to enable the Timer Counter.
Interrupt
The TC interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC).
Handling the TC interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the TC.
Functional
Description
TC Description
The three channels of the Timer Counter are independent and identical in operation. The registers for channel programming are listed in Table 90 on page 475.
16-bit Counter
Each channel is organized around a 16-bit counter. The value of the counter is incremented at
each positive edge of the selected clock. When the counter has reached the value 0xFFFF
and passes to 0x0000, an overflow occurs and the COVFS bit in TC_SR (Status Register) is
set.
The current value of the counter is accessible in real time by reading the Counter Value Register, TC_CV. The counter can be reset by a trigger. In this case, the counter value passes to
0x0000 on the next valid edge of the selected clock.
Clock Selection
At block level, input clock signals of each channel can either be connected to the external
inputs TCLK0, TCLK1 or TCLK2, or be connected to the configurable I/O signals TIOA0,
TIOA1 or TIOA2 for chaining by programming the TC_BMR (Block Mode). See Figure 221.
Each channel can independently select an internal or external clock source for its counter:
•
Internal clock signals: TIMER_CLOCK1, TIMER_CLOCK2, TIMER_CLOCK3,
TIMER_CLOCK4, TIMER_CLOCK5
•
External clock signals: XC0, XC1 or XC2
This selection is made by the TCCLKS bits in the TC Channel Mode Register (Capture Mode).
The selected clock can be inverted with the CLKI bit in TC_CMR (Capture Mode). This allows
counting on the opposite edges of the clock.
475
1768B–ATARM–08/03
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
master clock period. The external clock frequency must be at least 2.5 times lower than the
master clock

Clock Control
476
The clock of each counter can be controlled in two different ways: it can be enabled/disabled
and started/stopped. See Figure 222.
•
The clock can be enabled or disabled by the user with the CLKEN and the CLKDIS
commands in the Control Register. In Capture Mode it can be disabled by an RB load
event if LDBDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. In Waveform Mode, it can be disabled by an RC
Compare event if CPCDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. When disabled, the start or the stop
actions have no effect: only a CLKEN command in the Control Register can re-enable the
clock. When the clock is enabled, the CLKSTA bit is set in the Status Register.
•
The clock can also be started or stopped: a trigger (software, synchro, external or
compare) always starts the clock. The clock can be stopped by an RB load event in
Capture Mode (LDBSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) or a RC compare event in Waveform Mode
(CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR). The start and the stop commands have effect only if the
clock is enabled.

Event
Each channel can independently operate in two different modes:
•
Capture Mode provides measurement on signals.
•
Waveform Mode provides wave generation.
The TC Operating Mode is programmed with the WAVE bit in the TC Channel Mode Register.
In Capture Mode, TIOA and TIOB are configured as inputs.
In Waveform Mode, TIOA is always configured to be an output and TIOB is an output if it is not
selected to be the external trigger.
Trigger
A trigger resets the counter and starts the counter clock. Three types of triggers are common
to both modes, and a fourth external trigger is available to each mode.
The following triggers are common to both modes:
•
Software Trigger: Each channel has a software trigger, available by setting SWTRG in
TC_CCR.
•
SYNC: Each channel has a synchronization signal SYNC. When asserted, this signal has
the same effect as a software trigger. The SYNC signals of all channels are asserted
simultaneously by writing TC_BCR (Block Control) with SYNC set.
•
Compare RC Trigger: RC is implemented in each channel and can provide a trigger when
the counter value matches the RC value if CPCTRG is set in TC_CMR.
The 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 master clock
period in order to be detected.
Regardless of the trigger used, it will be taken into account at the following active edge of the
selected clock. This means that the counter value can be read differently from zero just after a
trigger, especially when a low frequency signal is selected as the clock.
477
1768B–ATARM–08/03
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
inputs.
Figure 223 shows the configuration of the TC channel when programmed in Capture Mode.
Capture Registers A
and B
Registers A and B (RA and RB) 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 LDRA parameter in TC_CMR defines the TIOA edge for the loading of register A, and the
LDRB parameter defines the TIOA edge for the loading of Register B.
RA is loaded only if it has not been loaded since the last trigger or if RB has been loaded since
the last loading of RA.
RB is loaded only if RA has been loaded since the last trigger or the last loading of RB.
Loading RA or RB before the read of the last value loaded sets the Overrun Error Flag
(LOVRS) in TC_SR (Status Register). In this case, the old value is overwritten.
Trigger Conditions
In addition to the SYNC signal, the software trigger and the RC compare trigger, an external
trigger can be defined.
The ABETRG bit in TC_CMR selects TIOA or TIOB input signal as an external trigger. The
ETRGEDG parameter defines the edge (rising, falling or both) detected to generate an external trigger. If ETRGEDG = 0 (none), the external trigger is disabled.

Waveform
Operating Mode
Waveform operating mode is entered by setting the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel
Mode Register).
In Waveform Operating Mode the TC channel generates 1 or 2 PWM signals with the same
frequency and independently programmable duty cycles, or generates different types of oneshot or repetitive pulses.
In this mode, TIOA is configured as an output and TIOB is defined as an output if it is not used
as an external event (EEVT parameter in TC_CMR).
Figure 224 shows the configuration of the TC channel when programmed in Waveform Operating Mode.
Waveform Selection
Depending on the WAVSEL parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode Register), the behavior of
TC_CV varies.
With any selection, RA, RB and RC can all be used as compare registers.
RA Compare is used to control the TIOA output, RB Compare is used to control the TIOB output (if correctly configured) and RC Compare is used to control TIOA and/or TIOB outputs.

WAVSEL = 00
When WAVSEL = 00, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to 0xFFFF. Once 0xFFFF
has been reached, the value of TC_CV is reset. Incrementation of TC_CV starts again and the
cycle continues. See Figure 225.
An external event trigger or a software trigger can reset the value of TC_CV. It is important to
note that the trigger may occur at any time. See Figure 226.
RC Compare cannot be programmed to generate a trigger in this configuration. At the same
time, RC Compare can stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) and/or disable the
counter clock (CPCDIS = 1 in TC_CMR).

When WAVSEL = 10, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to the value of RC, then automatically reset on a RC Compare. Once the value of TC_CV has been reset, it is then
incremented and so on. See Figure 227.
It is important to note that TC_CV can be reset at any time by an external event or a software
trigger if both are programmed correctly. See Figure 228.
In addition, RC Compare can stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) and/or disable the counter clock (CPCDIS = 1 in TC_CMR).

WAVSEL = 01
When WAVSEL = 01, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to 0xFFFF. Once 0xFFFF is
reached, the value of TC_CV is decremented to 0, then re-incremented to 0xFFFF and so on.
See Figure 229.
A trigger such as an external event or a software trigger can modify TC_CV at any time. If a
trigger occurs while TC_CV is incrementing, TC_CV then decrements. If a trigger is received
while TC_CV is decrementing, TC_CV then increments. See Figure 230.
RC Compare cannot be programmed to generate a trigger in this configuration.
At the same time, RC Compare can stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1) and/or disable the
counter clock (CPCDIS = 1).

When WAVSEL = 11, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to RC. Once RC is reached,
the value of TC_CV is decremented to 0, then re-incremented to RC and so on. See Figure
231.
A trigger such as an external event or a software trigger can modify TC_CV at any time. If a
trigger occurs while TC_CV is incrementing, TC_CV then decrements. If a trigger is received
while TC_CV is decrementing, TC_CV then increments. See Figure 232.

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 parameter in TC_CMR selects the external trigger. The EEVTEDG
parameter 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 an 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 and the software trigger are also available as triggers.
RC Compare can also be used as a trigger depending on the parameter WAVSEL.
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.

MultiMedia Card Interface (MCI)
Overview
The MultiMedia Card Interface (MCI) supports the MultiMediaCard (MMC) Specification V2.2
and the SD Memory Card Specification V1.0.
The MCI includes a command register, response registers, data registers, timeout counters
and error detection logic that automatically handle the transmission of commands and, when
required, the reception of the associated responses and data with limited processor overhead.
The MCI supports stream, block and multi-block data read and write, and is compatible with
the Peripheral Data Controller channels, minimizing processor intervention for large buffer
transfers.
The MCI operates at a rate of up to Master Clock divided by 2 and supports interfacing of up to
16 slots (depending on the product). Each slot may be used to interface with a MultiMediaCard
bus (up to 30 Cards) or with an SD Memory Card. Only one slot can be selected at a time
(slots are multiplexed). A bit in the Command Register performs this selection.
The SD Memory Card communication is based on a 9-pin interface (clock, command, four
data and three power lines) and the MultiMediaCard on a 7-pin interface (clock, command,
one data and three power lines).
The SD Memory Card interface also supports MultiMedia Card operations. The main differences between SD and MultiMedia Cards are the initialization process and the bus topology.
The main features of the MCI are:
•
Compatibility with MultiMedia Card Specification Version 2.2
•
Compatibility with SD Memory Card Specification Version 1.0
•
Cards clock rate up to Master Clock divided by 2
•
Embedded power management to slow down clock rate when not used
•
Supports up to sixteen multiplexed slots (product-dependent)
–
One slot for one MultiMediaCard bus (up to 30 cards) or one SD Memory Card
•
Support for stream, block and multi-block data read and write
•
Supports connection to Peripheral Data Controller
–
Minimizes processor intervention for large buffer transfers

Product Dependencies
I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the MultiMedia Cards or SD Cards may be multiplexed with PIO
lines. The programmer must first program the PIO controllers to assign the peripheral functions to MCI pins.
Power
Management
The MCI may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), so the programmer must first to configure the PMC to enable the MCI clock.
Interrupt
The MCI interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC).
Handling the MCI interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the MCI.

When the MCI is configured to operate with SD memory cards, the width of the data bus can
be selected in the MCI_SDCR register. Clearing the SDCBUS bit in this register means that
the width is one bit and setting it means that the width is four bits. In the case of multimedia
cards, only the data line 0 is used. The other data lines can be used as independent PIOs.
MultiMedia Card
Operations
After a power-on reset, the cards are initialized by a special message-based MultiMedia Card
bus protocol. Each message is represented by one of the following tokens:
•
Command: A command is a token that starts an operation. A command is sent from the
host either to a single card (addressed command) or to all connected cards (broadcast
command). A command is transferred serially on the CMD line.
•
Response: A response is a token which is sent from an addressed card or (synchronously)
from all connected cards to the host as an answer to a previously received command. A
response is transferred serially on the CMD line.
•
Data: Data can be transferred from the card to the host or vice versa. Data is transferred
via the data line.
Card addressing is implemented using a session address assigned during the initialization
phase by the bus controller to all currently connected cards. Their unique CID number identifies individual cards.
The structure of commands, responses and data blocks is described in the MultiMedia-Card
System Specification Version 2.2. See also Table 96 on page 507.
MultiMediaCard bus data transfers are composed of these tokens.
There are different types of operations. Addressed operations always contain a command and
a response token. In addition, some operations have a data token; the others transfer their
information directly within the command or response structure. In this case, no data token is
present in an operation. The bits on the DAT and the CMD lines are transferred synchronous
to the clock MCCK.
Two types of data transfer commands are defined:
506
•
Sequential commands: These commands initiate a continuous data stream. They are
terminated only when a stop command follows on the CMD line. This mode reduces the
command overhead to an absolute minimum.
•
Block-oriented commands: These commands send a data block succeeded by CRC bits.
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
Both read and write operations allow either single or multiple block transmission. A multiple
block transmission is terminated when a stop command follows on the CMD line similarly to
the sequential read.
The MCI provides a set of registers to perform the entire range of MultiMediaCard operations.
Commandresponse
Operation
After reset the MCI is disabled and becomes valid after setting the MCIEN bit in the MCI_CR
Control Register. The bit PWSEN allows saving power by dividing the MCI clock by 2 power
PWSDIV (MCI_MR) when the bus is inactive.
The command and the response of the card are clocked out with the rising edge of the MCCK.
All the timings for MultiMediaCard are defined in the MultiMediaCard System Specification
Version 2.2.
The two bus modes (open drain and push/pull) needed to process all the operations are
defined in the MCI command register. The MCI_CMDR allows a command to be carried out.
For example, to perform an ALL_SEND_CID command:

The MCI_ARGR contains the argument field of the command.
To send a command, the user must perform the following steps:
•
Fill the argument register (MCI_ARGR) with the command argument.
•
Set the command register (MCI_CMDR) (see Table 97).
The command is sent immediately after writing the command register. The status bit
CMDRDY in the status register (MCI_SR) is asserted until the command is completed. If the
507
1768B–ATARM–08/03
command requires a response, it can be read in the MCI response register (MCI_RSPR). The
response size can be 48 bits up to 136 bits according to the command. The MCI embeds an
error detection to prevent any corrupted data during the transfer.
The following flowchart shows how to send a command to the card and read the response if
needed. In this example, the status register bits are polled but setting the appropriate bits in
the interrupt enable register (MCI_IER) allows using an interrupt method.

1. If the command is SEND_OP_COND, the CRC error flag is always present (refer to R3
response in the MultiMediaCard specification).
The MultiMedia Card allows several read/write operations (single block, multiple blocks,
stream, etc.).
These operations can be done using the Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) features. If the
PDCMODE bit is set in MCI_MR, then all reads and writes use the PDC facilities. In all cases,
the block length must be defined in the mode register.

Read Operation
The following flowchart shows how to read a single block with or without use of PDC facilities.
In this example, a polling method is used to wait for the end of read. Similarly, the user can
configure the interrupt enable register (MCI_IER) to trigger an interrupt at the end of read.
These two methods can be applied for all MultiMediaCard read functions.

Write Operation
In write operation the MCI Mode Register (MCI_MR) is used to define the padding value when
writing non-multiple block size. If the bit PDCPADV is 0, then 0x00 value is used when padding data, otherwise 0xFF is used. If set, the bit PDCMODE enables PDC transfer.
The following flowchart shows how to write a single block with or without use of PDC facilities.
Polling or interrupt method can be used to wait for the end of write according to the contents of
the Interrupt Mask Register (MCI_IMR).
This flowchart can be adapted to perform all the MultiMedia Card write functions.

SD Card
Operations
The MultiMedia Card Interface allows processing of SD Memory Card (Secure Digital Memory
Card) commands. The SD Memory Card will include a copyright protection mechanism that
complies with the security requirements of the SDMI standard, is faster and applicable to
higher memory capacity.
The physical form factor, pin assignment and data transfer protocol are forward-com-patible
with the MultiMedia Card with some additions.
The SD Memory Card communication is based on a 9-pin interface (Clock, Command,
4 x Data and 3 x Power lines). The communication protocol is defined as a part of this specification. The main difference between the SD Memory Card and the MultiMedia Card is the
initialization process.
The SD Card Control Register (MCI_SDCR) allows selection of the card slot and the data bus
width.
The SD Card bus allows dynamic configuration of the number of data lines. After power up, by
default, the SD Memory Card will use only DAT0 for data transfer. After initialization, the host
can change the bus width (number of active data lines).

USB Device Port (UDP)
Overview
The USB Device Port (UDP) is compliant with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) V2.0 full-speed
device specification. It is designed to be associated with Atmel’s embedded USB transceiver
and interfaced with an ARM7TDMI and ARM9TDMI core.
The number and size of endpoints is product-dependent. Each endpoint is associated with
one or two banks of a dual-port RAM used to store the current data payload. If two banks are
used, one DPR bank is read or written by the processor, while the other is read or written by
the USB device peripheral. This feature is mandatory for isochronous endpoints. Thus the
device maintains the maximum bandwidth (1M bytes/s) by working with endpoints with two
banks of DPR.
Suspend and resume are automatically detected by the USB device, which notifies the processor by raising an interrupt. Depending on the product, an external signal can be used to
send a wake-up to the USB host controller.
The main features of the UDP are:
•
USB V2.0 Full-speed Compliant, 12 Mbits per second
•
Embedded USB V2.0 Full-speed Transceiver
•
Number and Size of Endpoints Fully Parametrizable in RTL
•
Embedded Dual-port RAM for Endpoints
•
Suspend/Resume Logic
•
Ping-pong Mode (2 Memory Banks) for Isochronous and Bulk Endpoints

Access to the UDP is via the APB bus interface. Read and write to the data FIFO are done by
reading and writing 8-bit values to APB registers.
The UDP peripheral requires two clocks: one peripheral clock used by the MCK domain and a
48 MHz clock used by the 12 MHz domain.
A USB 2.0 full-speed pad is embedded and controlled by the SIE.
The signal external_resume is optional. It allows the UDP peripheral to wake-up once in system mode. The host will then be notified that the device asks for a resume. This optional
feature must be also negotiated with the host during the enumeration.

1768B–ATARM–08/03

Product Dependencies
The USB physical transceiver is integrated into the product. The bi-directional differential signals DP and DM are available from the product boundary.
Two I/O lines may be used by the application:
I/O Lines
•
One to check that VBUS is still available from the host. Self-powered devices may use this
entry to be notified that the host has been powered off. In this case, the board pull-up on
DP must be disabled in order to prevent feeding current to the host.
•
One to control the board pull-up on DP. Thus, when the device is ready to communicate
with the host, it activates its DP pull-up through this control line.
DP and DM are not controlled by any PIO controllers. The embedded USB physical transceiver is controlled by the USB device peripheral.
To reserve an I/O line to check VBUS, the programmer must first program the PIO controller to
assign this I/O in input PIO mode.
To reserve an I/O line to control the board pull-up, the programmer must first program the PIO
controller to assign this I/O in output PIO mode.
Power
Management
The USB device peripheral requires a 48 MHz clock. This clock must be generated by a PLL
with an accuracy of ± 0.25%.
Thus, the USB device receives two clocks from the Power Management Controller (PMC): the
master clock, MCK, used to drive the peripheral user interface and the UDPCK used to interface with the bus USB signals (recovered 12 MHz domain).
Interrupt
The USB device interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller
(AIC).
Handling the USB device interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the UDP.

Functional Description
USB V2.0 Fullspeed Introduction
The USB V2.0 full-speed provides communication services between host and attached USB
devices. Each device is offered with a collection of communication flows (pipes) associated
with each endpoint. Software on the host communicates with an USB device through a set of
communication flows.

USB Bus Transactions
Each transfer results in one or more transactions over the USB bus. There are five kinds of
transactions flowing across the bus in packets:
1. Setup Transaction
2. Data IN Transaction
3. Data OUT Transaction
4. Status IN Transaction
5. Status OUT Transaction

Handling Transactions with USB V2.0 Device Peripheral
Setup Transaction
Setup is a special type of host-to-device transaction used during control transfers. Control
transfers must be performed using endpoints with no ping-pong attributes. A setup transaction
needs to be handled as soon as possible by the firmware. It is used to transmit requests from
the host to the device. These requests are then handled by the USB device and may require
more arguments. The arguments are sent to the device by a Data OUT transaction which follows the setup transaction. These requests may also return data. The data is carried out to the
host by the next Data IN transaction which follows the setup transaction. A status transaction
ends the control transfer.
When a setup transfer is received by the USB endpoint:
•
The USB device automatically acknowledges the setup packet
•
RXSETUP is set in the USB_CSRx register
•
An endpoint interrupt is generated while the RXSETUP is not cleared. This interrupt is
carried out to the microcontroller if interrupts are enabled for this endpoint.
Thus, firmware must detect the RXSETUP polling the USB_CSRx or catching an interrupt,
read the setup packet in the FIFO, then clear the RXSETUP. RXSETUP cannot be cleared
before the setup packet has been read in the FIFO. Otherwise, the USB device would accept
the next Data OUT transfer and overwrite the setup packet in the FIFO.

Data IN Transaction
Data IN transactions are used in control, isochronous, bulk and interrupt transfers and conduct
the transfer of data from the device to the host. Data IN transactions in isochronous transfer
must be done using endpoints with ping-pong attributes.
Using Endpoints
Without Ping-pong
Attributes
To perform a Data IN transaction, using a non ping-pong endpoint:
1. The microcontroller checks if it is possible to write in the FIFO by polling TXPKTRDY in
the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register (TXPKTRDY must be cleared).
2. The microcontroller writes data to be sent in the endpoint’s FIFO, writing zero or more
byte values in the endpoint’s USB_FDRx register,
3. The microcontroller notifies the USB peripheral it has finished by setting the TXPKTRDY in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register,
4. The microcontroller is notified that the endpoint’s FIFO has been released by the USB
device when TXCOMP in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register has been set. Then an
interrupt for the corresponding endpoint is pending while TXCOMP is set.
TXCOMP is set by the USB device when it has received an ACK PID signal for the Data IN
packet. An interrupt is pending while TXCOMP is set.
Note:
Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 1.1, for more information on the Data IN protocol layer.

Using Endpoints With
Ping-pong Attribute
The use of an endpoint with ping-pong attributes is necessary during isochronous transfer. To
be able to guarantee a constant bandwidth, the microcontroller must prepare the next data
payload to be sent while the current one is being sent by the USB device. Thus two banks of
memory are used. While one is available for the microcontroller, the other one is locked by the
USB device.

When using a ping-pong endpoint, the following procedures are required to perform Data IN
transactions:
1. The microcontroller checks if it is possible to write in the FIFO by polling TXPKTRDY to
be cleared in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register.
2. The microcontroller writes the first data payload to be sent in the FIFO (Bank 0), writing
zero or more byte values in the endpoint’s USB_FDRx register.
3. The microcontroller notifies the USB peripheral it has finished writing in Bank 0 of the
FIFO by setting the TXPKTRDY in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register.
4. Without waiting for TXPKTRDY to be cleared, the microcontroller writes the second
data payload to be sent in the FIFO (Bank 1), writing zero or more byte values in the
endpoint’s USB_FDRx register.
5. The microcontroller is notified that the first Bank has been released by the USB device
when TXCOMP in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register is set. An interrupt is pending
while TXCOMP is being set.
6. Once the microcontroller has received TXCOMP for the first Bank, it notifies the USB
device that it has prepared the second Bank to be sent rising TXPKTRDY in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register.
7. At this step, Bank 0 is available and the microcontroller can prepare a third data payload to be sent.

Warning: There is software critical path due to the fact that once the second bank is filled, the
driver has to wait for TX_COMP to set TX_PKTRDY. If the delay between receiving
TX_COMP is set and TX_PKTRDY is set is too long, some Data IN packets may be NACKed,
reducing the bandwidth.

Data OUT Transaction

transfers must be done using endpoints with ping-pong attributes.
Data OUT Transaction
Without Ping-pong
Attributes
To perform a Data OUT transaction, using a non ping-pong endpoint:
1. The host generates a Data OUT packet.
2. This packet is received by the USB device endpoint. While the FIFO associated to this
endpoint is being used by the microcontroller, a NAK PID is returned to the host. Once
the FIFO is available, data are written to the FIFO by the USB device and an ACK is
automatically carried out to the host.
3. The microcontroller is notified that the USB device has received a data payload polling
RX_DATA_BK0 in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register. An interrupt is pending for this
endpoint while RX_DATA_BK0 is set.
4. The number of bytes available in the FIFO is made available by reading RXBYTECNT
in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register.
5. The microcontroller carries out data received from the endpoint’s memory to its memory. Data received is available by reading the endpoint’s USB_FDRx register.
6. The microcontroller notifies the USB device that it has finished the transfer by clearing
RX_DATA_BK0 in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register.
7. A new Data OUT packet can be accepted by the USB device.

During isochronous transfer, using an endpoint with ping-pong attributes is necessary. To be
able to guarantee a constant bandwidth, the microcontroller must read the previous data payload sent by the host, while the current data payload is received by the USB device. Thus two
banks of memory are used. While one is available for the microcontroller, the other one is

When using a ping-pong endpoint, the following procedures are required to perform Data OUT
transactions:
1. The host generates a Data OUT packet.
2. This packet is received by the USB device endpoint. It is written in the endpoint’s FIFO
Bank 0.
3. The USB device sends an ACK PID packet to the host. The host can immediately send
a second Data OUT packet. It is accepted by the device and copied to FIFO Bank 1.
4. The microcontroller is notified that the USB device has received a data payload, polling
RX_DATA_BK0 in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register. An interrupt is pending for this
endpoint while RX_DATA_BK0 is set.
5. The number of bytes available in the FIFO is made available by reading RXBYTECNT
in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register.
6. The microcontroller transfers out data received from the endpoint’s memory to the
microcontroller’s memory. Data received is made available by reading the endpoint’s
USB_FDRx register.
7. The microcontroller notifies the USB peripheral device that it has finished the transfer
by clearing RX_DATA_BK0 in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register.
8. A third Data OUT packet can be accepted by the USB peripheral device and copied in
the FIFO Bank 0.
9. If a second Data OUT packet has been received, the microcontroller is notified by the
flag RX_DATA_BK1 set in the endpoint’s USB_CSRx register. An interrupt is pending
for this endpoint while RX_DATA_BK1 is set.

An interrupt is pending while the RX_DATA_BK0 or RX_DATA_BK1 flag is set.
Warning: When RX_DATA_BK0 and RX_DATA_BK1 are both set, there is no way to determine which one to clear first. Thus the software must keep an internal counter to be sure to
clear alternatively RX_DATA_BK0 then RX_DATA_BK1. This situation may occur when the
software application is busy elsewhere and the two banks are filled by the USB host. Once the
application comes back to the USB driver, the two flags are set.

Status Transaction
A status transaction is a special type of host to device transaction used only in a control transfer. The control transfer must be performed using endpoints with no ping-pong attributes.
According to the control sequence (read or write), the USB device sends or receives a status
transaction.

1. During the Status IN stage, the host waits for a zero length packet (Data IN transaction with
no data) from the device using DATA1 PID. Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Universal Serial
Bus Specification, Rev. 1.1, to get more information on the protocol layer.
2. During the Status OUT stage, the host emits a zero length packet to the device (Data OUT
transaction with no data).

Status IN Transfer
Once a control request has been processed, the device returns a status to the host. This is a
zero length Data IN transaction.
1. The microcontroller waits for TXPKTRDY in the USB_CSRx endpoint’s register to be
cleared. (At this step, TXPKTRDY must be cleared because the previous transaction
was a setup transaction or a Data OUT transaction.)
2. Without writing anything to the USB_FDRx endpoint’s register, the microcontroller sets
TXPKTRDY. The USB device generates a Data IN packet using DATA1 PID.
3. This packet is acknowledged by the host and TXPKTRDY is set in the USB_CSRx endpoint’s register.

Once a control request has been processed and the requested data returned, the host
acknowledges by sending a zero length packet. This is a zero length Data OUT transaction.
1. The USB device receives a zero length packet. It sets RX_DATA_BK0 flag in the
USB_CSRx register and acknowledges the zero length packet.
2. The microcontroller is notified that the USB device has received a zero length packet
sent by the host polling RX_DATA_BK0 in the USB_CSRx register. An interrupt is
pending while RX_DATA_BK0 is set. The number of bytes received in the endpoint’s
USB_BCR register is equal to zero.
3. The microcontroller must clear RX_DATA_BK0.

Stall Handshake
A stall handshake can be used in one of two distinct occasions. (For more information on the
stall handshake, refer to Chapter 8 of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 1.1.)
•
A functional stall is used when the halt feature associated with the endpoint is set. (Refer
to Chapter 9 of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 1.1, for more information on the
halt feature.)
•
To abort the current request, a protocol stall is used, but uniquely with control transfer.
The following procedure generates a stall packet:
1. The microcontroller sets the FORCESTALL flag in the USB_CSRx endpoint’s register.
2. The host receives the stall packet.
3. The microcontroller is notified that the device has sent the stall by polling the
STALLSENT to be set. An endpoint interrupt is pending while STALLSENT is set. The
microcontroller must clear STALLSENT to clear the interrupt.
When a setup transaction is received after a stall handshake, STALLSENT must be cleared in
order to prevent interrupts due to STALLSENT being set.

Bus Activity
Movement from one state to another depends on the USB bus state or on standard requests
sent through control transactions via the default endpoint (endpoint 0).
After a period of bus inactivity, the UDP device enters Suspend Mode. Accepting Suspend/Resume requests from the USB host is mandatory. Constraints in Suspend Mode are
very strict for bus-powered applications; devices may not consume more than 500 uA on the
USB bus.
While in Suspend Mode, the host may wake up a device by sending a resume signal (bus
activity) or a USB device may send a wake-up request to the host, e.g., waking up a PC by
moving a USB mouse.
The wake-up feature is not mandatory for all devices and must be negotiated with the host.

From Powered State to
Default State
After its connection to a USB host, the USB device waits for an end-of-bus reset. The USB
host stops driving a reset state once it has detected the device’s pull-up on DP. The unmasked
flag ENDBURST is set in the register UDP_ISR and an interrupt is triggered. The UDP software enables the default endpoint, setting the EPEDS flag in the UDP_CSR[0] register and,
optionally, enabling the interrupt for endpoint 0 by writing 1 to the UDP_IER register. The enumeration then begins by a control transfer.
From Default State to
Address State
After a set address standard device request, the USB host peripheral enters the address state.
Before this, it achieves the Status IN transaction of the control transfer, i.e., the UDP device
sets its new address once the TXCOMP flag in the UDP_CSR[0] register has been received
and cleared.
To move to address state, the driver software sets the FADDEN flag in the
UDP_GLB_STATE, sets its new address, and sets the FEN bit in the UDP_FADDR register.
From Address State to
Configured State
Once a valid Set Configuration standard request has been received and acknowledged, the
device enables endpoints corresponding to the current configuration. This is done by setting
the EPEDS and EPTYPE fields in the UDP_CSRx registers and, optionally, enabling corresponding interrupts in the UDP_IER register.
Enabling Suspend
When a Suspend (no bus activity on the USB bus) is detected, the RXSUSP signal in the
UDP_ISR register is set. This triggers an interrupt if the corresponding bit is set in the
UDP_IMR register.
This flag is cleared by writing to the UDP_ICR register. Then the device enters Suspend
Mode. As an example, the microcontroller switches to slow clock, disables the PLL and main
oscillator, and goes into Idle Mode. It may also switch off other devices on the board.
The USB device peripheral clocks may be switched off. However, the transceiver and the USB
peripheral must not be switched off, otherwise the resume is not detected.
Receiving a Host
Resume
In suspend mode, the USB transceiver and the USB peripheral must be powered to detect the
RESUME. However, the USB device peripheral may not be clocked as the WAKEUP signal is
asynchronous.
Once the resume is detected on the bus, the signal WAKEUP in the UDP_ISR is set. It may
generate an interrupt if the corresponding bit in the UDP_IMR register is set. This interrupt
may be used to wake-up the core, enable PLL and main oscillators and configure clocks. The
WAKEUP bit must be cleared as soon as possible by setting WAKEUP in the UDP_ICR
register.
Sending an External
Resume
The External Resume is negotiated with the host and enabled by setting the ESR bit in the
USB_GLB_STATE. An asynchronous event on the ext_resume_pin of the peripheral generates a WAKEUP interrupt. On early versions of the USP peripheral, the K-state on the USB
line is generated immediately. This means that the USB device must be able to answer to the
host very quickly. On recent versions, the software sets the RMWUPE bit in the
UDP_GLB_STATE register once it is ready to communicate with the host. The K-state on the
bus is then generated.
The WAKEUP bit must be cleared as soon as possible by setting WAKEUP in the UDP_ICR
register.

• TXCOMP: Generates an IN packet with data previously written in the DPR
This flag generates an interrupt while it is set to one.
Write (Cleared by the firmware)
0 = Clear the flag, clear the interrupt.
1 = No effect.
Read (Set by the USB peripheral)
0 = Data IN transaction has not been acknowledged by the Host.
1 = Data IN transaction is achieved, acknowledged by the Host.
After having issued a Data IN transaction setting TXPKTRDY, the device firmware waits for TXCOMP to be sure that the
host has acknowledged the transaction.
• RX_DATA_BK0: Receive Data Bank 0
This flag generates an interrupt while it is set to one.
Write (Cleared by the firmware)
0 = Notify USB peripheral device that data have been read in the FIFO's Bank 0.
1 = No effect.
Read (Set by the USB peripheral)
0 = No data packet has been received in the FIFO's Bank 0
1 = A data packet has been received, it has been stored in the FIFO's Bank 0.
When the device firmware has polled this bit or has been interrupted by this signal, it must transfer data from the FIFO to
the microcontroller memory. The number of bytes received is available in RXBYTCENT field. Bank 0 FIFO values are read
through the USB_FDRx register. Once a transfer is done, the device firmware must release Bank 0 to the USB peripheral
device by clearing RX_DATA_BK0.
• RXSETUP: Sends STALL to the Host (Control endpoints)
This flag generates an interrupt while it is set to one.
Read
0 = No setup packet available.
1 = A setup data packet has been sent by the host and is available in the FIFO.

This flag is used to notify the USB device firmware that a valid Setup data packet has been sent by the host and successfully received by the USB device. The USB device firmware may transfer Setup data from the FIFO by reading the
USB_FDRx register to the microcontroller memory. Once a transfer has been done, RXSETUP must be cleared by the
device firmware.
Ensuing Data OUT transactions is not accepted while RXSETUP is set.
• STALLSENT: Stall sent (Control, Bulk Interrupt endpoints)/ ISOERROR (Isochronous endpoints)
This flag generates an interrupt while it is set to one.
STALLSENT: this ends a STALL handshake
Read
0 = the host has not acknowledged a STALL.
1 = host has acknowledge the stall.
Write
0 = reset the STALLSENT flag, clear the interrupt.
1 = No effect.
This is mandatory for the device firmware to clear this flag. Otherwise the interrupt remains.
Please refer to chapters 8.4.4 and 9.4.5 of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev. 1.1 to get more information on the
STALL handshake.
ISOERROR: a CRC error has been detected in an isochronous transfer

1 = A data packet has been received, it has been stored in FIFO's Bank 1.
When the device firmware has polled this bit or has been interrupted by this signal, it must transfer data from the FIFO to
microcontroller memory. The number of bytes received is available in RXBYTECNT field. Bank 1 FIFO values are read
through USB_FDRx register. Once a transfer is done, the device firmware must release Bank 1 to the USB device by clearing RX_DATA_BK1.
• DIR: Transfer Direction (only available for control endpoints)
Read/Write
0 = Allow Data OUT transactions in the control data stage.
1 = Enable Data IN transactions in the control data stage.
Please refer to Chapter 8.5.2 of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev. 1.1 to get more information on the control data
stage.
This bit must be set before USB_CSRx/RXSETUP is cleared at the end of the setup stage. According to the request sent in
the setup data packet, the data stage is either a device to host (DIR = 1) or host to device (DIR = 0) data transfer. It is not
necessary to check this bit to reverse direction for the status stage.

USB Host Port (UHP)
Overview
The USB Host Port interfaces the USB with the host application. It handles Open HCI protocol
(Open Host Controller Interface) as well as USB v2.0 Full-speed and Low-speed protocols. It
also provides a simple read/write protocol on the ASB.
The USB Host Port integrates a root hub and transceivers on downstream ports. It provides
several high-speed half-duplex serial communication ports at a baud rate of 12 Mbit/s. Up to
127 USB devices (printer, camera, mouse, keyboard, disk, etc.) and the USB hub can be connected to the USB host in the USB “tiered star” topology.
The USB Host Port controller is fully compliant with the Open HCI specification. The standard
OHCI USB stack driver can be easily ported to ATMEL’s architecture in the same way all existing class drivers run without hardware specialization.
This means that all standard class devices are automatically detected and available to the
user application. As an example, integrating an HID (Human Interface Device) class driver
provides a plug & play feature for all USB keyboards and mouses.
Key features of the USB Host Port are:
•
Compliance with Open HCI Rev 1.0 Specification
•
Compliance with USB V2.0 Full Speed and Low Speed Specification
•
Supports Both Low-speed 1.5 Mbps and Full-speed 12 Mbps USB devices
•
Root Hub Integrated with Two Downstream USB Ports
•
Embedded USB Transceivers (Number of Transceivers is Product Dependant)
•
Supports Power Management
•
Operates as a Master on the ASB Bus

Access to the USB host operational registers is achieved through the ASB bus interface. The
Open HCI host controller initializes master DMA transfers with the ASB bus as follows:
•
Fetches endpoint descriptors and transfer descriptors
•
Access to endpoint data from system memory
•
Access to the HC communication area
•
Write status and retire transfer Descriptor
All of the ASB memory map is accessible to the USB host master DMA. Thus there is no need
to define a dedicated physical memory area to the USB host.
The USB root hub is integrated in the USB host. Several USB downstream ports are available.
The number of downstream ports can be determined by the software driver reading the root
hub’s operational registers. Device connection is automatically detected by the USB host port
logic.
Warning: a pull-down must be connected to DP on the board. Otherwise The USB host will
permanently detect a device connection on this port.
USB physical transceivers are integrated in the product and driven by the root hub’s ports.
Over current protection on ports can be activated by the USB host controller. Atmel’s standard
product does not dedicate pads to external over current protection.
Product
Dependencies
I/O Lines
DPs and DMs are not controlled by any PIO controllers. The embedded USB physical transceivers are controlled by the USB host controller.
Power
Management
The USB host controller requires a 48 MHz clock. This clock must be generated by a PLL with
a correct accuracy of ± 0.25%.
Thus the USB device peripheral receives two clocks from the Power Management Controller
(PMC): the master clock MCK used to drive the peripheral user interface (MCK domain) and
the UHPCLK 48 MHz clock used to interface with the bus USB signals (Recovered 12 MHz
domain).
Interrupt
The USB host interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller
(AIC).
Handling USB host interrupts requires programming the AIC before configuring the UHP.
Functional
Description
Please refer to the Open Host Controller Interface Specification for USB Release 1.0.a.
Host Controller
Interface
There are two communication channels between the Host Controller and the Host Controller
Driver. The first channel uses a set of operational registers located on the USB Host Controller. The Host Controller is the target for all communications on this channel. The operational
registers contain control, status and list pointer registers. They are mapped in the ASB memory mapped area. Within the operational register set there is a pointer to a location in the
processor address space named the Host Controller Communication Area (HCCA). The
HCCA is the second communication channel. The host controller is the master for all communication on this channel. The HCCA contains the head pointers to the interrupt Endpoint
562
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
Descriptor lists, the head pointer to the done queue and status information associated with
start-of-frame processing.
The basic building blocks for communication across the interface are Endpoint Descriptors
(ED, 4 double words) and Transfer Descriptors (TD, 4 or 8 double words). The host controller
assigns an Endpoint Descriptor to each endpoint in the system. A queue of Transfer Descriptors is linked to the Endpoint Descriptor for the specific endpoint.

Typical
Connection
•
Host controller hardware and serial engine: Transmit and receive USB data on the bus.
•
Host controller driver: Drives the Host controller hardware and handle the USB protocol
•
USB Bus driver and hub driver: Handles USB commands and enumeration. Offers a
hardware independent interface.
•
Mini driver: Handles device specific commands.
•
Class driver: handles standard devices. This acts as a generic driver for a class of devices,
for example the HID driver.

Ethernet MAC (EMAC)
Overview
The Ethernet MAC is the hardware implementation of the MAC sub-layer OSI reference model
between the physical layer (PHY) and the logical link layer (LLC). It controls the data
exchange between a host and a PHY layer according to Ethernet IEEE 802.3u data frame format. The Ethernet MAC contains the required logic and transmit and receive FIFOs for DMA
management. In addition, it is interfaced through MDIO/MDC pins for PHY layer management.
The Ethernet MAC can transfer data in media-independent interface (MII) or reduced mediaindependent interface (RMII) modes depending on the pinout configuration.
The aim of the reduced interface is to lower the pin count for a switch product that can be connected to multiple PHY interfaces. The characteristics specific to RMII mode are:
•
Single clock at 50 MHz frequency
•
Reduction of required control pins
•
Reduction of data paths to di-bit (2-bit wide) by doubling clock frequency
•
10 Mbits/sec. and 100 Mbits/sec. data capability
The major features of the EMAC are:
•
Compatibility with IEEE Standard 802.3
•
10 and 100 Mbits per second data throughput capability
•
Full- and half-duplex operation
•
MII or RMII interface to the physical layer
•
Register interface to address, status and control registers
•
DMA interface
•
Interrupt generation to signal receive and transmit completion
•
28-byte transmit and 28-byte receive FIFOs
•
Automatic pad and CRC generation on transmitted frames
•
Address checking logic to recognize four 48-bit addresses
•
Supports promiscuous mode where all valid frames are copied to memory
•
Supports physical layer management through MDIO interface control of alarm and update
time/calendar data in

I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the compliant external devices may be multiplexed with PIO
lines. The programmer must first program the PIO controllers to assign the EMAC pins to their
peripheral functions. In RMII mode, unused pins (see Table 102: MII/RMII Signal Mapping)
can be used as general I/O lines.
Power
Management
The EMAC may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), so the programmer must first configure the PMC to enable the EMAC clock.
Interrupt
The EMAC has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC). Handling the EMAC interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the EMAC.

The Ethernet MAC is capable of interfacing to both RMII and MII Interfaces. The RMII bit in the
ETH_CFG register controls the interface that is selected. When this bit is set, the RMII interface is selected, else the MII interface is selected.
The MII and RMII interface are capable of both 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s data rates as described
in the IEEE 802.3u standard. The signals used by the MII and RMII interfaces are described in
the Table 102.

The intent of the RMII is to provide a reduced pin count alternative to the IEEE 802.3u MII. It
uses 2 bits for transmit (ETX0 and ETX1) and two bits for receive (ERX0 and ERX1). There is
a Transmit Enable (ETXEN), a Receive Error (ERXER), a Carrier Sense (ECRS_DV), and a
50 MHz Reference Clock (ETXCK_REFCK) for 100Mb/s data rate.
RMII Transmit and
Receive Operation
The same signals are used internally for both the RMII and the MII operations. The RMII maps
these signals in a more pin-efficient manner. The transmit and receive bits are converted from
a 4-bit parallel format to a 2-bit parallel scheme that is clocked at twice the rate. The carrier
sense and data valid signals are combined into the ECRS_ECRSDV signal. This signal contains information on carrier sense, FIFO status, and validity of the data. Transmit error bit
(ETXER) and collision detect (ECOL) are not used in RMII mode.

Transmit/Receive
Operation
A standard IEEE 802.3 packet consists of the following fields: preamble, start of frame delimiter (SFD), destination address (DA), source address (SA), length, data (Logical Link Control
Data) and frame check sequence CRC32 (FCS).
Table 103. Packet Format

SA
Length/type
1 byte
6 bytes
6 bytes
2 bytes
LLC Data

FCS
4 bytes
Frame Length between 64 bytes and 1518 bytes.
The packets are Manchester-encoded and -decoded and transferred serially using NRZ data
with a clock. All fields are of fixed length except for the data field. The MAC generates and
appends the preamble, SFD and CRC fields during transmission.
The preamble and SFD fields are stripped during reception.
Preamble and Start of
Frame Delimiter (SFD)
The preamble field is used to acquire bit synchronization with an incoming packet. When
transmitted, each packet contains 62 bits of alternating 1,0 preamble. Some of this preamble
is lost as the packet travels through the network. Byte alignment is performed with the Start of
Frame Delimiter (SFD) pattern that consists of two consecutive 1's.
Destination Address
The destination address (DA) indicates the destination of the packet on the network and is
used to filter unwanted packets. There are three types of address formats: physical, multicast
and broadcast. The physical address is a unique address that corresponds only to a single
node. All physical addresses have an MSB of 0.
Multicast addresses begin with an MSB of 1. The MAC filters multicast addresses using a
standard hashing algorithm that maps all multicast addresses into a 6-bit value. This 6-bit
value indexes a 64-bit array that filters the value. If the address consists of all ones, it is a
broadcast address, indicating that the packet is intended for all nodes.
Source Address
The source address (SA) is the physical address of the node that sent the packet. Source
addresses cannot be multicast or broadcast addresses. This field is passed to buffer memory.
Length/Type
If the value of this field is less than or equal to 1500, then the Length/Type field indicates the
number of bytes in the subsequent LLC Data field. If the value of this field is greater than or
equal to 1536, then the Length/Type field indicates the nature of the MAC client protocol (protocol type).
LLC Data
The data field consists of anywhere from 46 to 1500 bytes. Messages longer than 1500 bytes
need to be broken into multiple packets. Messages shorter than 46 bytes require appending a
pad to bring the data field to the minimum length of 46 bytes. If the data field is padded, the
number of valid data bytes is indicated in the length field.
FCS Field
The Frame Check Sequence (FCS) is a 32-bit CRC field, calculated and appended to a packet
during transmission to allow detection of errors when a packet is received. During reception,
error free packets result in a specific pattern in the CRC generator. Packets with improper
CRC will be rejected.

Frame Format
Extensions
The original Ethernet standards defined the minimum frame size as 64 bytes and the maximum as 1518 bytes. These numbers include all bytes from the Destination MAC Address field
through the Frame Check Sequence field. The Preamble and Start Frame Delimiter fields are
not included when quoting the size of a frame. The IEEE 802.3ac standard extended the maximum allowable frame size to 1522 bytes to allow a VLAN tag to be inserted into the Ethernet
frame format. The bit BIG defined in the ETH_CFG register aims to process packet with VLAN
tag.
The VLAN protocol permits insertion of an identifier, or tag, into the Ethernet frame format to
identify the VLAN to which the frame belongs. It allows frames from stations to be assigned to
logical groups. This provides various benefits, such as easing network administration, allowing
formation of work groups, enhancing network security, and providing a means of limiting
broadcast domains (refer to IEEE standard 802.1Q for definition of the VLAN protocol). The
802.3ac standard defines only the implementation details of the VLAN protocol that are specific to Ethernet.
If present, the 4-byte VLAN tag is inserted into the Ethernet frame between the Source MAC
Address field and the Length field. The first 2-bytes of the VLAN tag consist of the “802.1Q
Tag Type” and are always set to a value of 0x8100. The 0x8100 value is a reserved
Length/Type field assignment that indicates the presence of the VLAN tag, and signals that
the traditional Length/Type field can be found at an offset of four bytes further into the frame.
The last two bytes of the VLAN tag contain the following information:
•
The first three bits are a User Priority Field that may be used to assign a priority level to
the Ethernet frame.
•
The following one bit is a Canonical Format Indicator (CFI) used in Ethernet frames to
indicate the presence of a Routing Information Field (RIF).
•
The last twelve bits are the VLAN Identifier (VID) that uniquely identifies the VLAN to
which the Ethernet frame belongs.
With the addition of VLAN tagging, the 802.3ac standard permits the maximum length of an
Ethernet frame to be extended from 1518 bytes to 1522 bytes. Table 104 illustrates the format
of an Ethernet frame that has been “tagged” with a VLAN identifier according to the IEEE
802.3ac standard.

DMA Operations
Frame data is transferred to and from the Ethernet MAC via the DMA interface. All transfers
are 32-bit words and may be single accesses or bursts of two, three or four words. Burst
accesses do not cross 16-byte boundaries.
The DMA controller performs four types of operations on the ASB bus. In order of priority,
these operations are receive buffer manager read, receive buffer manager write, transmit data
DMA read and receive data DMA write.
Transmitter Mode
Transmit frame data needs to be stored in contiguous memory locations. It does not need to
be word-aligned.
The transmit address register is written with the address of the first byte to be transmitted.
Transmit is initiated by writing the number of bytes to transfer (length) to the transmit control
register.
The transmit channel then reads data from memory 32 bits at a time and places them in the
transmit FIFO.
The transmit block starts frame transmission when three words have been loaded into the
FIFO.
The transmit address register must be written before the transmit control register. While a
frame is being transmitted, it is possible to set up one other frame for transmission by writing
new values to the transmit address and control registers. Reading the transmit address register returns the address of the buffer currently being accessed by the transmit FIFO.
Reading the transmit control register returns the total number of bytes to be transmitted. The
BNQ bit in the Transmit Status Register indicates whether another buffer can be safely
queued. An interrupt is generated whenever this bit is set.
Frame assembly starts by adding preamble and the start frame delimiter. Data is taken from
the transmit FIFO word-by-word. If necessary, padding is added to make the frame length 60
bytes. The CRC is calculated as a 32-bit polynomial. This is inverted and appended to the end
of the frame, making the frame length a minimum of 64 bytes. The CRC is not appended if the
NCRC bit is set in the transmit control register.
In full-duplex mode, frames are transmitted immediately. Back-to-back frames are transmitted
at least 96 bit times apart to guarantee the inter-frame gap.
In half-duplex mode, the transmitter checks carrier sense. If asserted, it waits for it to de-assert
and then starts transmission after the inter-frame gap of 96 bit-times.
If the collision signal is asserted during transmission, the transmitter transmits a jam sequence
of 32 bits taken from the data register and then retries transmission after the backoff time has
elapsed. An error is indicated and any further attempts aborted if 16 attempts cause collisions.
If transmit DMA underruns, bad CRC is automatically appended using the same mechanism
as jam insertion. Underrun also causes TXER to be asserted.
Receiver Mode
When a packet is received, it is checked for valid preamble, CRC, alignment, length and
address. If all these criteria are met, the packet is stored successfully in a receive buffer. If at
the end of reception the CRC is bad, then the received buffer is recovered. Each received
frame including CRC is written to a single receive buffer.
Receive buffers are word-aligned and are capable of containing 1518 or 1522 bytes (BIG = 1
in ETH_CFG) of data (the maximum length of an Ethernet frame).
The start location for each received frame is stored in memory in a list of receive buffer
descriptors at a location pointed to by the receive buffer queue pointer register. Each entry in
572
AT91RM9200
1768B–ATARM–08/03
AT91RM9200
the list consists of two words. The first word is the address of the received buffer; the second is
the receive status. Table 105 defines an entry in the received buffer descriptor list.
To receive frames, the buffer queue must be initialized by writing an appropriate address to
bits [31:2] in the first word of each list entry. Bit zero of word zero must be written with zero.
After a frame is received, bit zero becomes set and the second word indicates what caused
the frame to be copied to memory. The start location of the received buffer descriptor list
should be written to the received buffer queue pointer register before receive is enabled (by
setting the receive enable bit in the network control register). As soon as the received block
starts writing received frame data to the receive FIFO, the received buffer manager reads the
first receive buffer location pointed to by the received buffer queue pointer register. If the filter
block is active, the frame should be copied to memory; the receive data DMA operation starts
writing data into the receive buffer. If an error occurs, the buffer is recovered. If the frame is
received without error, the queue entry is updated. The buffer pointer is rewritten to memory
with its low-order bit set to indicate successful frame reception and a used buffer. The next
word is written with the length of the frame and how the destination address was recognized.
The next receive buffer location is then read from the following word or, if the current buffer
pointer had its wrap bit set, the beginning of the table. The maximum number of buffer pointers
before a wrap bit is seen is 1024. If a wrap bit is not seen by then, a wrap bit is assumed in that
entry. The received buffer queue pointer register must be written with zero in its lower-order bit
positions to enable the wrap function to work correctly.
If bit zero is set when the receive buffer manager reads the location of the receive buffer, then
the buffer has already been used and cannot be used again until software has processed the
frame and cleared bit zero. In this case, the DMA block sets the buffer unavailable bit in the
received status register and triggers an interrupt. The frame is discarded and the queue entry
is reread on reception of the next frame to see if the buffer is now available. Each discarded
frame increments a statistics register that is cleared on being read. When there is network
congestion, it is possible for the MAC to be programmed to apply backpressure.
This is when half-duplex mode collisions are forced on all received frames by transmitting 64
bits of data (a default pattern).
Reading the received buffer queue register returns the location of the queue entry currently
being accessed. The queue wraps around to the start after either 1024 entries (i.e., 2048
words) or when the wrap bit is found to be set in bit 1 of the first word of an entry.

Length of frame including FCS
Whether or not a frame is stored depends on what is enabled in the network configuration register, the contents of the specific address and hash registers and the frame destination
address. In this implementation of the MAC the frame source address is not checked.
A frame is not copied to memory if the MAC is transmitting in half-duplex mode at the time a
destination address is received.
The hash register is 64 bits long and takes up two locations in the memory map.
There are four 48-bit specific address registers, each taking up two memory locations. The
first location contains the first four bytes of the address; the second location contains the last
two bytes of the address stored in its least significant byte positions. The addresses stored
can be specific, group, local or universal.
Ethernet frames are transmitted a byte at a time, LSB first. The first bit (i.e., the LSB of the first
byte) of the destination address is the group/individual bit and is set one for multicast
addresses and zero for unicast. This bit corresponds to bit 24 of the first word of the specific
address register. The MSB of the first byte of the destination address corresponds to bit 31 of
the specific address register.
The specific address registers are compared to the destination address of received frames
once they have been activated. Addresses are deactivated at reset or when the first byte
[47:40] is written and activated or when the last byte [7:0] is written. If a receive frame address
matches an active address, the local match signal is set and the store frame pulse signal is
sent to the DMA block via the HCLK synchronization block.
A frame can also be copied if a unicast or multicast hash match occurs, it has the broadcast
address of all ones, or the copy all frames bit in the network configuration register is set.
The broadcast address of 0xFFFFFFFF is recognized if the no broadcast bit in the network
configuration register is zero. This sets the broadcast match signal and triggers the store
frame signal.
The unicast hash enable and the multicast hash enable bits in the network configuration register enable the reception of hash matched frames. So all multicast frames can be received by
setting all bits in the hash register.
The CRC algorithm reduces the destination address to a 6-bit index into a 64-bit hash register.If the equivalent bit in the register is set, the frame is matched depending on whether the
frame is multicast or unicast and the appropriate match signals are sent to the DMA block. If
the copy all frames bit is set in the network configuration register, the store frame pulse is
always sent to the DMA block as soon as any destination address is received.

LEN
• LEN: Transmit Frame Length
This register is written to the number of bytes to be transmitted excluding the four CRC bytes unless the no CRC bit is
asserted. Writing these bits to any non-zero value initiates a transmission. If the value is greater than 1514 (1518 if no CRC
is being generated), an oversize frame is transmitted. This field is buffered so that a new frame can be queued while the
previous frame is still being transmitted. Must always be written in address-then-length order. Reads as the total number of
bytes to be transmitted (i.e., this value does not change as the frame is transmitted.) Frame transmission does not start
until two 32-bit words have been loaded into the transmit FIFO. The length must be great enough to ensure two words are
loaded.
• NCRC: No CRC
If this bit is set, it is assumed that the CRC is included in the length being written in the low-order bits and the MAC does not
append CRC to the transmitted frame. If the buffer is not at least 64 bytes long, a short frame is sent. This field is buffered
so that a new frame can be queued while the previous frame is still being transmitted. Reads as the value of the frame currently being transmitted.

BNA
• BNA: Buffer Not Available
An attempt was made to get a new buffer and the pointer indicated that it was owned by the processor. The DMA rereads
the pointer each time a new frame starts until a valid pointer is found. This bit is set at each attempt that fails even if it has
not had a successful pointer read since it has been cleared. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• REC: Frame Received
One or more frames have been received and placed in memory. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• OVR: RX Overrun
The DMA block was unable to store the receive frame to memory, either because the ASB bus was not granted in time or
because a not OK HRESP was returned. The buffer is recovered if this happens. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.

DATA
Writing to this register starts the shift register that controls the serial connection to the PHY. On each shift cycle the MDIO
pin becomes equal to the MSB of the shift register and LSB of the shift register becomes equal to the value of the MDIO
pin. When the shifting is complete an interrupt is generated and the IDLE field is set in the Network Status register.
When read, gives current shifted value.
• DATA
For a write operation this is written with the data to be written to the PHY. After a read operation this contains the data read
from the PHY.
• CODE
Must be written to 10 in accordance with IEEE standard 802.3. Reads as written.
• REGA
Register address. Specifies the register in the PHY to access.
• PHYA
PHY address. Normally is 0.
• RW

• HIGH
Must be written with 1 to make a valid PHY management frame. Conforms with IEEE standard 802.3.
• LOW
Must be written with 0 to make a valid PHY management frame. Conforms with IEEE standard 802.3.

fifteen collisions prior to being transmitted (62 - 1518 bytes, no carrier loss, no
underrun).
Frames Received OK Register
ETH_OK
A 24-bit register counting the number of good frames received, i.e., address
recognized. A good frame is of length 64 to 1518 bytes and has no FCS,
alignment or code errors.
Frame Check Sequence Error
Register
ETH_SEQE
An 8-bit register counting address-recognized frames that are an integral
number of bytes long, that have bad CRC and that are 64 to 1518 bytes long.
Alignment Error Register

An 8-bit register counting frames that:
- are address-recognized,
- are not an integral number of bytes long,
- have bad CRC when their length is truncated to an integral number of bytes,
- are between 64 and 1518 bytes long.
Deferred Transmission Frame
Register
ETH_DTE
A 16-bit register counting the number of frames experiencing deferral due to
carrier sense active on their first attempt at transmission (no underrun or
collision).
Late Collision Register
ETH_LCOL
An 8-bit register counting the number of frames that experience a collision after
the slot time (512 bits) has expired. No carrier loss or underrun. A late collision
is counted twice, i.e., both as a collision and a late collision.
Excessive Collision Register
ETH_ECOL
An 8-bit register counting the number of frames that failed to be transmitted
because they experienced 16 collisions (64 - 1518 bytes, no carrier loss or
underrun).
Carrier Sense Error Register
ETH_CSE
An 8-bit register counting the number of frames for which carrier sense was not
detected and that were maintained in half-duplex mode one slot time (512 bits)
after the start of transmission (no excessive collision).
Transmit Underrun Error
Register
ETH_TUE
An 8-bit register counting the number of frames not transmitted due to a
transmit DMA underrun. If this register is incremented, then no other register is
incremented.
Code Error Register
ETH_CDE
An 8-bit register counting the number of frames that are address-recognized,
had RXER asserted during reception. If this counter is incremented, then no
other counters are incremented.
Excessive Length Error Register

Computation
The delays are given as typical values in the following conditions:
•
VDDIOM = 3.3V
•
VDDCORE = 1.8V
•
Ambient Temperature = 25°C
•
Load Capacitance = 0 pF
•
The output level change detection is (0.5 x VDDIOM).
•
The input level is (0.3 x VDDIOM) for a low-level detection and is (0.7 x VDDIOM) for a highlevel detection.
The minimum and maximum values given in the AC characteristics tables of this datasheet
take into account process variation and design. In order to obtain the timing for other conditions, the following equation should be used:
t = δ T ° × ( ( δ VDDCORE × t DATASHEET ) + ( δ VDDIO M × ∑ ( C SIGNAL × δ CSIGNAL ) ) )
where:
•
δT° is the derating factor in temperature given in Figure 267 on page 604.
•
δVDDCORE is the derating factor for the Core Power Supply given in Figure 268 on page
604.
•
tDATASHEET is the minimum or maximum timing value given in this datasheet for a load
capacitance of 0 pF.
δVDDIOM is the derating factor for the IOM Power Supply given in Figure 269 on page 605.
CSIGNAL is the capacitance load on the considered output pin(1).
δCSIGNAL is the load derating factor depending on the capacitance load on the related
output pins given in Min and Max in this datasheet.
•
•
•
The input delays are given as typical values.
Note:
1. The user must take into account the package capacitance load contribution (CIN) described
in Table 109, “DC Characteristics,” on page 596.

TPS[2:0]
TPK[15:0]
When designing a PCB, it is important to keep the differences between trace length of ETM
signals as small as possible to minimize skew between them. In addition, crosstalk on the
trace port must be kept to a minimum as it can cause erroneous trace results. Stubs on these
traces can cause unpredictable responses, thus it is recommended to avoid stubs on the trace
lines.
The TCLK line should be series-terminated as close as possible to the microcontroller pins.
The maximum capacitance presented by the trace connector, cabling and interfacing logic
must be less than 15 pF.

AT91RM9200 Mechanical Characteristics
Thermal and Reliability Considerations
Thermal Data
In Table 132, the device lifetime is estimated using the MIL-217 standard in the “moderately
controlled” environmental model (this model is described as corresponding to an installation in
a permanent rack with adequate cooling air), depending on the device Junction Temperature.
(For details see the section “Junction Temperature” on page 626.)
Note that the user must be extremely cautious with this MTBF calculation. It should be noted
that the MIL-217 model is pessimistic with respect to observed values due to the way the
data/models are obtained (test under severe conditions). The life test results that have been
measured are always better than the predicted ones.

Junction
Temperature
The average chip-junction temperature, TJ, in °C can be obtained from the following:
1.
T J = T A + ( P D × θ JA )
2.
T J = T A + ( P D × ( θ HEATSINK + θ JC ) )
where:
•
θJA = package thermal resistance, Junction-to-ambient (°C/W), provided in Table 133 on
page 625.
•
θJC = package thermal resistance, Junction-to-case thermal resistance (°C/W), provided in
Table 133 on page 625.
•
θHEAT SINK = cooling device thermal resistance (°C/W), provided in the device datasheet.
•
PD = device power consumption (W) estimated from data provided in the section “Power
Consumption” on page 598.
TA = ambient temperature (°C).
•
From the first equation, the user can derive the estimated lifetime of the chip and decide if a
cooling device is necessary or not. If a cooling device is to be fitted on the chip, the second
equation should be used to compute the resulting average chip-junction temperature TJ in °C.
