Description
The AT91F40816 is a member of the Atmel AT91 16/32-bit microcontroller family,
which is based on the ARM7TDMI processor core. The processor has a high-performance 32-bit RISC architecture with a high-density 16-bit instruction set and very low
power consumption. In addition, a large number of internally banked registers result in
very fast exception handling, making the device ideal for real-time control applications.
The eight-level priority-vectored interrupt controller, together with the Peripheral Data
Controller, significantly enhance real-time device performance.
By combining the microcontroller, featuring on-chip SRAM and a wide range of peripheral functions, with 16 Mbits of Flash memory in a single compact 120-ball BGA
package, the Atmel AT91F40816 provides a powerful, flexible and cost-effective solution to many compute-intensive embedded control applications and offers significant
board size reductions.
The Flash memory may be programmed via the JTAG/ICE interface or the factory-programmed Flash Uploader using a single device supply, making the AT91F40816 ideal
for in-system programmable applications.

Architectural
Overview
The AT91F40816 integrates Atmel’s AT91M40800 ARM Thumb Microcontroller and an
AT49BV1604/1614 16 Mbits, 2.7-Volt Read and 2.7-Volt Byte-Write Sectored Flash
memory die in a single compact 120-ball BGA device. The address, data and control
signals, except the Flash memory enable, are internally interconnected.
The architecture consists of two main buses, the Advanced System Bus (ASB) and the
Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). Designed for maximum performance and controlled by
the memory controller, the ASB interfaces the ARM7TDMI processor with the on-chip
32-bit memories, the External Bus Interface (EBI) and the AMBA™ Bridge. The AMBA
Bridge drives the APB, which is designed for accesses to on-chip peripherals and optimized for low power consumption.
The AT91F40816 implements the ICE port of the ARM7TDMI processor on dedicated
pins, offering a complete, low-cost and easy-to-use debug solution for target debugging.
Memories
The AT91F40816 embeds 8K bytes of internal SRAM. The internal memory is directly
connected to the 32-bit data bus and is single-cycle accessible.
The AT91F40816 features an External Bus Interface (EBI), which enables connection of
external memories and application-specific peripherals. The EBI supports 8- or 16-bit
devices and can use two 8-bit devices to emulate a single 16-bit device. The EBI implements the early read protocol, enabling faster memory accesses than standard memory
interfaces.
The AT91F40816 embeds a Flash memory organized as 1M 16-bit words, accessed via
the EBI. Its main function is as a program memory. A 16-bit Thumb instruction can be
loaded from Flash memory in a single access. Separate MCU and Flash memory Reset
inputs (NRST and NRSTF) are provided for maximum flexibility. The user is thus free to
conform the reset operation to the application.
The AT91F40816 integrates resident boot software called AT91 Flash Uploader software. The AT91 Flash Uploader software is able to upload program application software
into its Flash memory.
Peripherals
The AT91F40816 integrates several peripherals, which are classified as system or user
peripherals. All on-chip peripherals are 32-bit accessible by the AMBA Bridge, and can
be programmed with a minimum number of instructions. The peripheral register set is
composed of control, mode, data, status and enable/disable/status registers.
An on-chip Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) transfers data between the on-chip
USARTs and on- and off-chip memories address space without processor intervention.
Most importantly, the PDC removes the processor interrupt handling overhead, making
it possible to transfer up to 64K continuous bytes without reprogramming the start
address, thus increasing the performance of the microcontroller, and reducing the power
consumption.
System Peripherals
The External Bus Interface (EBI) controls the external memory or peripheral devices via
an 8- or 16-bit databus and is programmed through the APB. Each chip-select line has
its own programming register.
The Power-saving (PS) module implements the Idle mode (ARM7TDMI core clock
stopped until the next interrupt) and enables the user to adapt the power consumption of
the microcontroller to application requirements (independent peripheral clock control).
The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) controls the internal sources from the internal
peripherals and the four external interrupt lines (including the FIQ) to provide an inter-
6
AT91F40816
1348D–ATARM–03/04
AT91F40816
rupt and/or fast interrupt request to the ARM7TDMI. It integrates an 8-level priority
controller, and using the Auto-vectoring feature, reduces the interrupt latency time.
The Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) controls up to 32 I/O lines. It enables the user
to select specific pins for on-chip peripheral input/output functions, and general-purpose
input/output signal pins. The PIO controller can be programmed to detect an interrupt on
a signal change from each line.
The Watchdog (WD) can be used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes
trapped in a deadlock.
The Special Function (SF) module integrates the Chip ID, the Reset Status and the Protect registers.
User Peripherals
Two USARTs, independently configurable, enable communication at a high baud rate in
synchronous or asynchronous mode. The format includes start, stop and parity bits and
up to 8 data bits. Each USART also features a Time-out and a Time-guard register, facilitating the use of the two dedicated Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) channels.
The 3-channel, 16-bit Timer Counter (TC) is highly-programmable and supports capture
or waveform modes. Each TC channel can be programmed to measure or generate different kinds of waves, and can detect and control two input/output signals. The TC has
also 3 external clock signals.

AT91F40816
Product Overview
Power Supply
The AT91F40816 has a single type of power supply pin, VDD. The VDD pin supplies the
I/O pads and the core. The supported voltage range on VDD is 2.7V to 3.6V.
Input/Output
Considerations
The AT91F40816 I/O pads are 5V-tolerant except for the EBI Data Bus (D0 - D15). This
enables the PIO pads to interface with external 5V devices without any additional
components.
After the reset, the microcontroller peripheral I/Os are initialized as inputs to provide the
user with maximum flexibility. It is recommended that in any application phase, the
inputs to the microcontroller be held at valid logic levels to minimize the power
consumption.
Master Clock
The AT91F40816 has a fully static design and works on the Master Clock (MCK), provided on the MCKI pin from an external source.
The Master Clock is also provided as an output of the device on the pin MCKO, which is
multiplexed with a general-purpose I/O line. While NRST is active, MCKO remains low.
After the reset, the MCKO is valid and outputs an image of the MCK signal. The PIO
Controller must be programmed to use this pin as standard I/O line.
Reset
Reset restores the default states of the user interface registers (defined in the user interface of each peripheral), and forces the ARM7TDMI to perform the next instruction fetch
from address zero. Except for the program counter the ARM7TDMI registers do not
have defined reset states.
NRST Pin
NRST is active low-level input. It is asserted asynchronously, but exit from reset is synchronized internally to the MCK. The signal presented on MCKI must be active within
the specification for a minimum of 10 clock cycles up to the rising edge of NRST, to
ensure correct operation.
The first processor fetch occurs 80 clock cycles after the rising edge of NRST.
Watchdog Reset
The watchdog can be programmed to generate an internal reset. In this case, the reset
has the same effect as the NRST pin assertion, but the pins BMS and NTRI are not
sampled. Boot mode and Tri-state mode are not updated. If the NRST pin is asserted
and the watchdog triggers the internal reset, the NRST pin has priority.
Emulation Functions
Tri-state Mode
The AT91F40816 provides a Tri-state mode, which is used for debug purposes in order
to connect an emulator probe to an application board. In Tri-state mode, all the output
pin drivers of the microcontroller are disabled.
This feature can also be used to program the embedded Flash within a standard NVM
programmer.
To enter Tri-state mode, the pin NTRI must be held low during the last 10 clock cycles
before the rising edge of NRST.
For normal operation, the pin NTRI must be held high during reset, by a resistor of up to
400K Ohm. NTRI is multiplexed with I/O line P21 and USART1 serial data transmit line
TXD1.
9
1348D–ATARM–03/04
Standard RS232 drivers generally contain internal 400K Ohm pull-up resistors. If TXD1
is connected to a device not including this pull-up, the user must make sure that a high
level is tied on NTRI while NRST is asserted.
JTAG/ICE Debug
ARM standard embedded In-circuit emulation is supported via the JTAG/ICE port. The
pins TDI, TDO, TCK and TMS are dedicated to this debug function and can be connected to a host computer via the external ICE interface.
In ICE Debug mode, the ARM7TDMI core responds with a non-JTAG chip ID that identifies the microcontroller. This is not fully IEEE1149.1 compliant.
Memory Controller
The ARM7TDMI processor address space is 4G bytes. The memory controller decodes
the internal 32-bit address bus and defines three address spaces:
•
Internal memories in the four lowest megabytes
•
Middle space reserved for the external devices (memory or peripherals) controlled
by the EBI
•
Internal peripherals in the four highest megabytes
In any of these address spaces, the ARM7TDMI operates in Little-Endian mode only.
Internal Memories
The AT91F40816 integrates 8K bytes of primary internal SRAM that is 32 bits wide and
single-clock cycle accessible. This SRAM is mapped at address 0x0 (after the remap
command), allowing ARM7TDMI exception vectors between 0x0 and 0x20 to be modified by the software. The rest of the SRAM can be used for stack allocation (to speed up
context saving and restoring), or as data and program storage for critical algorithms.
Byte (8-bit), half-word (16-bit) or word (32-bit) accesses are supported and are executed
within one cycle. Fetching Thumb or ARM instructions is supported and internal memory
can store twice as many Thumb instructions as ARM ones.
The AT91F40816 also integrates a 2-Mbyte Flash memory that is accessed via the
External Bus Interface. All data, address and control lines, except for the Chip Select
signal, are connected within the device. Byte and half-word accesses are supported.
Boot Mode Select
The ARM reset vector is at address 0x0. After the NRST line is released, the
ARM7TDMI executes the instruction stored at this address. This means that this
address must be mapped in nonvolatile memory after the reset.
The input level on the BMS pin during the last 10 clock cycles before the rising edge of
the NRST selects the type of boot memory (see Table 3). If the embedded Flash memory is to be used as boot memory, the BMS input must be pulled down externally.
The pin BMS is multiplexed with the I/O line P24 that can be programmed after reset like
any standard PIO line.

The ARM vectors (Reset, Abort, Data Abort, Prefetch Abort, Undefined Instruction,
Interrupt, Fast Interrupt) are mapped from address 0x0 to address 0x20. In order to
allow these vectors to be redefined dynamically by the software, the AT91F40816 uses
a remap command that enables switching between the boot memory and the internal
primary SRAM addresses. The remap command is accessible through the EBI User
AT91F40816
1348D–ATARM–03/04
AT91F40816
Interface by writing one in RCB of EBI_RCR (Remap Control Register). Performing a
remap command is mandatory if access to the other external devices (connected to
chip-selects 1 to 7) is required. The remap operation can only be changed back by an
internal reset or an NRST assertion.
Abort Control
The abort signal providing a Data Abort or a Prefetch Abort exception to the ARM7TDMI
is asserted when accessing an undefined address in the EBI address space.
No abort is generated when reading the internal memory or by accessing the internal
peripherals, whether the address is defined or not.
External Bus Interface
The External Bus Interface handles the accesses between addresses 0x0040 0000 and
0xFFC0 0000. It generates the signals that control access to the external devices, and
can be configured from eight 1-Mbyte banks up to four 16-Mbyte banks. It supports byte,
half-word and word aligned accesses.
For each of these banks, the user can program:
•
Number of wait states
•
Number of data float times (wait time after the access is finished to prevent any bus
contention in case the device is too long in releasing the bus)
•
Data bus-width (8-bit or 16-bit).
•
With a 16-bit wide data bus, the user can program the EBI to control one 16-bit
device (Byte Access Select mode) or two 8-bit devices in parallel that emulate a 16bit memory (Byte Write Access Mode).
The External Bus Interface features also the Early Read Protocol, configurable for all the
devices, that significantly reduces access time requirements on an external device in
the case of single-clock cycle access.
In the AT91F40816, the External Bus Interface connects internally to the Flash memory.
Flash Memory
The 16M-bit Flash memory is organized as 1,048,576 16-bit words. The Flash memory
is addressed as 16-bit words via the EBI. It uses address lines A1 to A20. Address line
A20 must not be reprogrammed as an I/O pin or as a chip select, as it is the most significant bit of the Flash memory address.
The address, data and control signals, except the Flash memory enable, are internally
interconnected. The user should connect the Flash memory enable (NCSF) to one of
the active-low chip selects on the EBI. NCS0 must be used if the Flash memory is to be
the boot memory. In addition, if the Flash memory is to be used as boot memory, the
BMS input must be pulled down externally in order for the processor to perform correct
16-bit fetches after reset.
During boot, the EBI must be configured with correct number of standard wait states.
For example, five standard wait states are required when the microcontroller is running
at 40 MHz.
The user must ensure that all VDD and all GND pins are connected to their respective
supplies by the shortest route. The Flash memory powers-on in the read mode. Command sequences are used to place the device in other operating modes, such as
program and erase.
A separate Flash memory reset input pin (NRSTF) is provided for maximum flexibility,
enabling the reset operation to adapt to the application. When this input is at a logic
high-level, the memory is in its standard operating mode; a low-level on this input halts
the current memory operation and puts its outputs in a high impedance state.
11
1348D–ATARM–03/04
The Flash memory features data polling to detect the end of a program cycle. While a
program cycle is in progress, an attempted read of the last word written returns the complement of the written data on I/O7. An open-drain NBUSY output pin provides another
method of detecting the end of a program or erase cycle. This pin is pulled low while
program and erase cycles are in progress, and it is released at the completion of the
cycle. A toggle bit feature provides a third means of detecting the end of a program or
erase cycle.
The Flash memory is segmented into two memory planes. Reads from one memory
plane may be performed even while program or erase functions are being executed in
the other memory plane. This feature enhances performance by not requiring the system to wait for a program or erase cycle to complete before a read may be performed.
The Flash memory is divided into 40 sectors for erase operations. To further enhance
device flexibility, an Erase Suspend feature is offered. This feature puts the erase cycle
on hold for an indefinite period and allows the user to read data from, or to write data to,
any other sector within the same memory plane. There is no need to suspend an erase
cycle if the data to be read is in the other memory plane. The device has the capability to
protect data stored in any sector. Once the data protection for a sector is enabled, the
data in that sector cannot be changed while input levels lie between ground and VDD.
An optional VPP pin is available to enhance the program/erase times. See the
AT49BV1604(T)/1614(T) “16 Mbits, 2.7-Volt Read and 2.7-Volt Byte-Write Sectored
Flash” datasheet for further detail.
A 6-byte command sequence (Bypass Unlock) allows the device to be written to directly,
using single pulses on the write control lines. This mode (Single Pulse Programming) is
exited by powering down the device or by pulsing the NRSTF pin low for a certain duration(1) and then bringing it back to VDD.
The following hardware features protect against inadvertent programming of the Flash
memory.
•
VDD Sense – if VDD is below a certain level(1), the program function is inhibited.
•
VDD Power-on Delay – once VDD has reached the VDD sense level, the device
automatically times out a certain duration(1) before programming.
•
Program Inhibit – holding any one of OE low, CE high or WE high inhibits program
cycles
•

AT91 Flash Uploader
Software
All Flash-based AT91 devices are delivered with a factory-programmed software called
the AT91 Flash Uploader, which resides in the first sector of the embedded Flash. The
Flash Uploader allows programming to the embedded flash through a serial port. Either
of the on-chip USARTs can be used by the Flash Uploader.

Flash Uploader Operations
The Flash Uploader requires NCS0 to be connected to NCSF and a valid clock to be
applied to MCKI. The chip select line loop allows the ARM Core to boot from the embedded Flash when the reset is de-asserted. Next, the Flash Uploader immediately
recopies itself in the internal SRAM and jumps into it. The following operation requires
this memory resource only. External accesses are performed only to program the
Flash.
When starting, PIO input change interrupts are initialized on the RXD lines of both
USARTs. When an interrupt occurs, a Timer Counter channel is started. When the next
input change is detected on the RXD line, the Timer Counter channel is stopped. This is
how the first character length is measured and the USART can be initiated by taking into
account the ratio between the device master clock speed and the actual communication
baud rate speed.
The Programming System, then, can send commands and data following a proprietary
protocol for the Flash device to be programmed. It is up to the Programming System to
erase and program the first sector of the Flash lastly, in order to reduce, at a minimum,
the risk that the Flash Uploader is erased and the power supply shuts down.
In the event that the Flash Uploader is erased from the first sector while the new final
application is not yet programmed, and while the target system power supply is switched
off, it would lead to a non-recoverable error and the AT91F40816 could not be re-programmed by using the Flash Uploader.
Programming System
Atmel provides a free Host Loader that runs on an IBM® compatible PC under Windows®95 or Windows®98 operating system. It can be downloaded from the Atmel web
site and requires only a serial cable to connect the Host to the Target.

1348D–ATARM–03/04
Communications can be selected on either COM1 or COM2 and the serial link speed is
limited to 115200 bauds. Because the serial link is the bottleneck in this configuration,
the Flash programming lasts 110 seconds per Mbytes.
Programming time can be reached by using a faster programming system. An EB40
(AT91 Evaluation Board for the x40 Series Microcontroller) is capable of running a serial
link at up to 500 Kbits/sec and can match the fastest programming allowed by the Flash,
for example, about 40 seconds per Mbyte when the word programming becomes the
bottleneck.
Peripherals
The AT91F40816 peripherals are connected to the 32-bit wide Advanced Peripheral
Bus.
Peripheral registers are only word accessible. Byte and half-word accesses are not supported. If a byte or a half-word access is attempted, the memory controller automatically
masks the lowest address bits and generates an word access.
Each peripheral has a 16-Kbyte address space allocated (the AIC only has a 4-Kbyte
address space).
Peripheral Registers
The following registers are common to all peripherals:
• Control Register – write only register that triggers a command when a one is written
to the corresponding position at the appropriate address. Writing a zero has no effect.
• Mode Register – read/write register that defines the configuration of the peripheral.
Usually has a value of 0x0 after a reset.
• Data Registers – read and/or write register that enables the exchange of data
between the processor and the peripheral.
• Status Register – read only register that returns the status of the peripheral.
• Enable/Disable/Status Registers – shadow command registers. Writing a one in the
Enable Register sets the corresponding bit in the Status Register. Writing a one in the
Disable Register resets the corresponding bit and the result can be read in the Status
Register. Writing a bit to zero has no effect. This register access method maximizes
the efficiency of bit manipulation, and enables modification of a register with a single
non-interruptible instruction, replacing the costly read-modify-write operation.
Unused bits in the peripheral registers must be written at 0 for upward compatibility.
These bits read 0.
Peripheral Interrupt Control
The Interrupt Control of each peripheral is controlled from the status register using the
interrupt mask. The status register bits are ANDed to their corresponding interrupt mask
bits and the result is then ORed to generate the Interrupt Source signal to the Advanced
Interrupt Controller.
The interrupt mask is read in the Interrupt Mask Register and is modified with the Interrupt Enable Register and the Interrupt Disable Register. The enable/disable/status (or
mask) makes it possible to enable or disable peripheral interrupt sources with a noninterruptible single instruction. This eliminates the need for interrupt masking at the AIC
or Core level in real-time and multi-tasking systems.
Peripheral Data Controller
The AT91F40816 has a 4-channel PDC dedicated to the two on-chip USARTs. One
PDC channel is dedicated to the receiver and one to the transmitter of each USART.
The user interface of a PDC channel is integrated in the memory space of each USART.
It contains a 32-bit Address Pointer Register (RPR or TPR) and a 16-bit Transfer
Counter Register (RCR or TCR). When the programmed number of transfers are per-
14
AT91F40816

AT91F40816
formed, a status bit indicating the end of transfer is set in the USART Status Register
and an interrupt can be generated.

System Peripherals
PS: Power-saving
The Power-saving feature optimizes power consumption, enabling the software to stop
the ARM7TDMI clock (idle mode) and restarting it when the module receives an interrupt (or reset). It also enables on-chip peripheral clocks to be enabled and disabled
individually, matching power consumption and application needs.
AIC: Advanced Interrupt
Controller
The Advanced Interrupt Controller has an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored interrupt controller, and drives the NIRQ and NFIQ pins of the ARM7TDMI from:
• The external fast interrupt line (FIQ)
• The three external interrupt request lines (IRQ0-IRQ2)
• The interrupt signals from the on-chip peripherals
The AIC is extensively programmable, offering maximum flexibility, and its vectoring features reduce the real-time overhead in handling interrupts.
The AIC also features a spurious vector detection feature, which reduces spurious interrupt handling to a minimum, and a protect mode that facilitates the debug capabilities.
PIO: Parallel I/O Controller
The AT91F40816 has 32 programmable I/O lines. Six pins are dedicated as generalpurpose I/O pins. Other I/O lines are multiplexed with an external signal of a peripheral
to optimize the use of available package pins. The PIO controller enables generation of
an interrupt on input change and insertion of a simple input glitch filter on any of the PIO
pins.
WD: Watchdog
The Watchdog is built around a 16-bit counter and is used to prevent system lock-up if
the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. It can generate an internal reset or interrupt, or assert an active level on the dedicated pin NWDOVF. All programming registers
are password-protected to prevent unintentional programming.
SF: Special Function
The AT91F40816 provides registers that implement the following special functions.
• Chip Identification
• RESET Status
• Protect Mode

User Peripherals
USART: Universal
Synchronous/
Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter
The AT91F40816 provides two identical, full-duplex, universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver/transmitters.
Each USART has its own baud rate generator, and two dedicated Peripheral Data Controller channels. The data format includes a start bit, up to 8 data bits, an optional
programmable parity bit and up to 2 stop bits.
The USART also features a Receiver Time-out register, facilitating variable length frame
support when it is working with the PDC, and a Time-guard register, used when interfacing with slow remote equipment.
TC: Timer Counter
The AT91F40816 features a Timer Counter block that 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.
The Timer Counter can be used in Capture or Waveform mode, and all three counter
channels can be started simultaneously and chained together.

Small packages may be subject to higher temperatures if they are reflowed in boards
with larger components. In this case, small packages may have to withstand temperatures of up to 235°C, not 220°C (IR reflow).
Recommended package reflow conditions depend on package thickness and volume.

Notes:
1. The packages are qualified by Atmel by using IR reflow conditions, not convection or
VPR.
2. By default, the package level 1 is qualified at 220°C (unless 235°C is stipulated).
3. The body temperature is the most important parameter but other profile parameters
such as total exposure time to hot temperature or heating rate may also influence
component reliability.
A maximum of three reflow passes is allowed per component.
