3. Functional Description
3.1
DSP Array
The ATSAM3108B includes eight on-chip DSPs.
Each DSP (P24) is built around a 2k x 24 RAM and a 1k x 24 ROM. The RAM contains both data
and P24 instructions, the ROM contains typical coefficients such as FFT cosines and windowing.
A P24 sends and receives audio samples through the Sync Bus. It can request external data
such as compressed audio through the Async Bus. Each P24 RAM can be accessed through
the Async Bus.
Each P24 is capable of typical MAC operation loops, including auto-indexing, bit reverse and
butterfly (multiplication of complex numbers). It also includes specialized audio instructions such
as state variable IIR filtering, envelope generation, linear interpolation and wavetable loop.
One P24 is sufficient for processing stereo reverb and chorus @48kHz or stereo sampling rate
conversion @96kHz.

6092C–DRMSD–12-Feb-07
ATSAM3108B
3.2
Sync Bus
The Sync Bus transfers data on a frame basis, typical frame rates being 32, 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz.
Each frame is divided into 64 time slots. Each slot is divided into 4 bus cycles. Each P24 is
assigned a hardwired time slot (8 to 63), during which it may provide 24-bit data to the bus (up to
4 data samples). Each P24 can read data on the bus at any time, allowing inter P24 communication at the current sampling rate. Slots 0 to 7 are reserved for a specific router DSP, which also
handles audio out, audio in, and remix send.
3.3
Async Bus
The Async Bus has 24-bit data inside the chip and 16-bit data outside.
The P16 processor normally masters the Async Bus; it can read/write the P24 memories and the
external or embedded ROM/RAM. However, each P24 can request a bus master cycle for
accessing external ROM/RAM or other P24 memories. This allows efficient intercommunication
between several P24s on asynchronous block basis. Specific P24 instructions FLOAT and FIX
convert fixed-point DSP data to floating-point 16 bits. This allows for 20-bit audio dynamic range
when using 16-bit external memory.
3.4
16-bit Processor
The P16 processor is widely used in ATSAM products. Using the P16 keeps large firmware
investments from the ATSAM97xx series. A built-in ROM, connected to the P16 holds basic
input/output software (BIOS) for peripherals such as UART, DataFlash, SmartMedia and MPU,
as well as a debugger that uses a dedicated asynchronous serial line. The firmware can be
downloaded at power-up into the built-in 16k x 24 RAM from serial EEPROM, DataFlash, SmartMedia or host.
3.5
MMU (Memory Management Unit)
The MMU handles transfer requests between the embedded RAM/ROM, the P16 and the P24s
through the Async Bus. The ATSAM3108B includes 16k x 24 RAM on chip.
3.6
Router: Final ACC, MIX, Audio Out, Audio In
This block includes RAM (accessed through the Async Bus) that defines the routing from the
Sync Bus to/from the Audio I/O or back to the Sync Bus (mix send). It takes care of mix and
accumulation from Sync Bus samples. Eight channels of audio in and eight channels of audio
out are provided (4-stereo in/out, I2S format). The stereo audio in channels may have a different
sampling rate than the audio out channels. In this case, one (or more) P24 takes care of sampling rate conversion.
3.7
I/O
The ATSAM3108B includes very versatile I/Os, that share common pins for reduced pin count
and small IC footprint. Most I/Os, when not used for a specific function, remain available as firmware controlled general-purpose pins.
The following peripherals are included on chip:
• 2 x 8-bit timers
• 2 x 16-bit timers
• Parallel slave 8-bit port, MPU401 compatible
• Parallel master 8-bit port, for connection to SmartMedia and/or LCD display, switches, etc.

• 2 x asynchronous bidirectional serial ports
• Synchronous serial slave port (SPI type host connection)

• A small 256-Kbit external EEPROM with an SPI interface such as Atmel AT25256
• A DataFlash (current capacities range from 1Mbit to 64 Mbits) if audio storage functions are
required
• A SmartMedia card (supported capacities from 8 Mbytes to 128 Mbytes)
• The parallel MPU type interface.
5.2
I/O Selection Considerations
I/Os are organized in groups, which can be mutually exclusive because they share the same IC
pins (please refer to the pinout to identify the exclusions). The two main types of operation are
host controlled and stand-alone.
5.2.1
Host-controlled Operation
There are three main possible ways of communication with a host processor:
• 8-bit parallel MPU type bidirectional interface. Signals: D7 - D0, CS, WR, RD, A0, IRQ
• Asynchronous serial, MIDI_IN and optionally MIDI_OUT
• Synchronous serial. Signals: SDIN, SCLK, SYNC, INT
5.2.2
Stand-alone Operation
Possible stand-alone modes are:
• Firmware into external EEPROM or DataFlash
• Firmware into external SmartMedia. In this case, the firmware should reside in the
SmartMedia reserved sectors starting at sector # 1.

Status register is read when A0 = 1, RD = 0, CS = 0.
• TE: Transmit Empty
If 0, data from ATSAM3108B to host is pending and IRQ is high. Reading the data at A0 = 0 will set TE to 1 and clear IRQ.
• RF: Receiver full.
If 0, then ATSAM3108B is ready to accept DATA from host.
Note:
If status bit RF is not checked by host, write cycle time should not be lower than 3 µs.

SmartMedia and Other Peripheral Interfaces
The SmartMedia and Other Peripheral Interfaces is a master 8-bit parallel interface that provides
connection to SmartMedia or other peripherals such as LCD screens.
Pins used: I/O7 - I/O0 (I/O), SMPD (input), SMCE, SMALE, SMCLE, SMRE, SMWE (outputs)
All of these pins are fully under firmware control, therefore timing compatibility is ensured by
firmware only.
10.3
EEPROM/DataFlash Interface
The EEPROM/DataFlash interface is a master synchronous serial interface, operating in SPI
mode 0.
Pins used: DFCS, DFSI, DFSCK (outputs), DFSO (input)
The DFSCK frequency is firmware programmable from fck to fck/64, where fck is the crystal frequency. Thus a large variety of EEPROM/DataFlash devices can be accommodated.
Please refer to Atmel DataFlash datasheets for accurate SPI mode 0 timing.

Serial Slave Synchronous Interface
The ATSAM3108B can be controlled by an external host processor through this unidirectional
serial interface. However, no firmware can be downloaded at power-up through this interface.
Therefore an external ROM/Flash/EEPROM is required.
Pins used: SCLK, SYNC, SDIN (inputs) INT (output)
Data is shifted into MSB first. The IC samples an incoming SDIN bit on the rising edge of SCLK,
therefore the host should change SDIN on the negative SCLK edge.
SYNC allows initial synchronization. The rising edge of SYNC, which should occur with SCLK
low, indicates that SDIN will hold MSB data on the next rising SCLK.
The data is stored internally into a 256-byte FIFO.
When the FIFO count is below 64, the INT output goes low. This allows the host processor to
send data in burst mode.
The maximum SCLK frequency is tck (tck being the crystal frequency). The minimum time
between two bytes is 64 tck periods.
The contents of the SDIN data are defined by the firmware.

Digital Audio
Pins used: CLBD (output), WSBD (output) DABD3 - 0 (outputs) DAAD3 - 0 (inputs)
Optionally: CLAD3 - 0 (inputs), WSAD3 - 0 (inputs)
The ATSAM3108B allows for 8 digital audio output channels and 8 digital audio input channels.
All audio channels are normally synchronized on single clocks CLBD, WSBD which are derived
from the IC crystal oscillator. However, as a firmware option, the DAAD3 - 0 inputs can be synchronized with incoming CLAD3 - 0 and WSAD3 - 0 signals. In this case, the incoming sampling
frequencies must be lower or equal to the chip sampling frequency.
The digital audio timing follows the I2S standard, with up to 24 bits per sample

11. Reset and Power-down
During power up, the RESET input should be held low until the crystal oscillator and PLL are stabilized, which takes max. 10 ms.
After the low to high transition of RESET, the following happens:
• All P24s enter an idle state.
• P16 program execution starts in built-in ROM.
The power-up sequence is as follows:
• STIN is sensed. If HIGH, then the built-in debugger is started.
• SMC is sensed. If LOW, then the built-in loader waits for SmartMedia presence detect
(SMPD). When detected, the firmware is down loaded from SmartMedia reserved sector 1
and started.
• An attempt is made to read the first two bytes of an external EEPROM or DataFlash. If "DR"
is read, then the built-in loader loads the firmware from the external EEPROM/DataFlash and
starts it.
• Firmware download from a host processor is assumed.
1. The 0ACh byte is written to the host, this raises IRQ. The host can recognize that the
chip is ready to accept program download. Higher speed transfer can be reached by
polling the parallel interface status (CS = 0, A0 = 1, RD = 0).
2. The host sends the firmware size (in words) on two bytes (Low byte first).
3. The host sends the ATSAM3108B firmware. The firmware should begin with string
"DR".
4. The 0ACh byte is written to the host, this raises IRQ. The host can recognize that the
chip has accepted the firmware.
5. ATSAM3108B starts the firmware.
If PDWN is asserted low, then the crystal oscillator and PLL will be stopped. If the power switch
is used, then the chip enters a deep power down sleep mode, as power is removed from the
core. To exit power down, PDWN has to be asserted high, then RESET applied.
Other power reduction features allowing warm restart are controlled by firmware:
• P24s can be individually stopped.
• The clock frequency can be internally divided by 256.

12. Recommended Board Layout
Like all HCMOS high integration ICs, following simple rules of board layout is mandatory for reliable operations:
• GND, VC33, VC18 distribution, decoupling
All GND, VC33, VC18 pins should be connected. A GND plane is strongly recommended. The
board GND + VC33 distribution should be in grid form.
Recommended VC18 decoupling is 0.1 µF at each corner of the IC with an additional 10 µF
decoupling close to the crystal. VC33 requires a single 0.1 µF decoupling.
• Crystal, LFT
The paths between the crystal, the crystal compensation capacitors, the LFT filter R-C-R and the
IC should be short and shielded. The ground return from the compensation capacitors and LFT
filter should be the GND plane from the IC.
• Buses.
A ground plane should be implemented below the D0 - D7 bus that connects both to the host
and to the IC GND.
• Analog Section
A specific AGND ground plane should be provided, which connects by a single trace to the GND
ground. No digital signals should cross the AGND plane. Refer to the Codec vendor recommended layout for correct implementation of the analog section.

14. Product Development and Debugging
Atmel provides an integrated product development and debugging tool SamVS. SamVS runs
under Windows® (98, ME, 2000, XP). Within the environment, it is possible to:
• Edit
• Assemble
• Debug on real target (In-circuit Emulation)
• Program Dataflash, EEPROM, SmartMedia on target.
Two dedicated IC pins, STIN and STOUT allow running firmware directly into the target using
standard PC COM port communication at 57.6 Kbauds. Thus time-to-market is optimized by
testing directly on the final prototype.
A library of frequently used functions is available, such as:
• Reverb/Chorus
• MP3 decode
• 31-band equalizer
• Parametric equalizer
Atmel engineers are available to study customer-specific applications.
