Meaning
Register N
Registers are numbered consecutively throughout the document to
aid in referencing them. The register number has no meaning to
software.
reserved
Register bits marked reserved are reserved for future use. Reserved
bits return an indeterminate value, and should never be changed.
Only write a reserved bit with its current value.
yy:xx
The range of register bits inclusive from xx to yy. For example, 31:15
means bits 15 through 31 in that register.
Register Bit/Field Types
This value in the register bit diagram indicates whether software
running on the controller can change the value of the bit field.
RO
Software can read this field. Always write the chip reset value.
R/W
Software can read or write this field.
R/W1C
Software can read or write this field. A write of a 0 to a W1C bit does
not affect the bit value in the register. A write of a 1 clears the value
of the bit in the register; the remaining bits remain unchanged.
This register type is primarily used for clearing interrupt status bits
where the read operation provides the interrupt status and the write
of the read value clears only the interrupts being reported at the time
the register was read.
W1C
Software can write this field. A write of a 0 to a W1C bit does not
affect the bit value in the register. A write of a 1 clears the value of
the bit in the register; the remaining bits remain unchanged. A read
of the register returns no meaningful data.
This register is typically used to clear the corresponding bit in an
interrupt register.
WO
Only a write by software is valid; a read of the register returns no
meaningful data.
Register Bit/Field Reset Value
This value in the register bit diagram shows the bit/field value after
any reset, unless noted.
0
Bit cleared to 0 on chip reset.
1
Bit set to 1 on chip reset.

Functional Overview
The following sections provide an overview of the features of the LM3S315 microcontroller. The
chapter number in parenthesis indicates where that feature is discussed in detail. Ordering and
support information can be found in “Ordering and Contact Information” on page 381.
1.4.1
ARM Cortex™-M3
1.4.1.1
Processor Core (Section 2 on page 33)
All members of the Stellaris product family, including the LM3S315 microcontroller, are designed
around an ARM Cortex™-M3 processor core. The ARM Cortex-M3 processor provides the core
for a high-performance, low-cost platform that meets the needs of minimal memory
implementation, reduced pin count, and low power consumption, while delivering outstanding
computational performance and exceptional system response to interrupts.
Section 2, “ARM Cortex-M3 Processor Core,” on page 33 provides an overview of the ARM core;
the core is detailed in the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual.
1.4.1.2
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
The LM3S315 controller includes the ARM Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) on the
ARM Cortex-M3 core. The NVIC and Cortex-M3 prioritize and handle all exceptions. All exceptions
are handled in Handler Mode. The processor state is automatically stored to the stack on an
exception, and automatically restored from the stack at the end of the Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR). The vector is fetched in parallel to the state saving, which enables efficient interrupt entry.
The processor supports tail-chaining, which enables back-to-back interrupts to be performed
without the overhead of state saving and restoration. Software can set eight priority levels on 7
exceptions (system handlers) and 24 interrupts.
Section 4, “Interrupts,” on page 43 provides an overview of the NVIC controller and the interrupt
map. Exceptions and interrupts are detailed in the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference
Manual.
1.4.2
Motor Control Peripherals
To enhance motor control, the LM3S315 controller features Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
outputs.
1.4.2.1
PWM
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique for digitally encoding analog signal levels.
High-resolution counters are used to generate a square wave, and the duty cycle of the square
wave is modulated to encode an analog signal. Typical applications include switching power
supplies and motor control.
On the LM3S315, PWM motion control functionality can be achieved through dedicated, flexible
motion control hardware (the PWM pins) or through the motion control features of the
general-purpose timers (using the CCP pins).
PWM Pins (Section 15 on page 320)
The LM3S315 PWM module consists of one PWM generator block and a control block. Each PWM
generator block contains one timer (16-bit down or up/down counter), two comparators, a PWM
signal generator, a dead-band generator, and an interrupt/ADC-trigger selector. The control block
determines the polarity of the PWM signals, and which signals are passed through to the pins.
Each PWM generator block produces two PWM signals that can either be independent signals or
a single pair of complementary signals with dead-band delays inserted. The output of the PWM
generation blocks are managed by the output control block before being passed to the device pins.
April 27, 2007
27
Preliminary
Architectural Overview
CCP Pins (“16-Bit PWM Mode” on page 162)
The General-Purpose Timer Module’s CCP (Capture Compare PWM) pins are software
programmable to support a simple PWM mode with a software-programmable output inversion of
the PWM signal.
1.4.3
Analog Peripherals
To handle analog signals, the LM3S315 controller offers an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and
an analog comparator.
1.4.3.1
ADC (Section 11 on page 208)
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a peripheral that converts a continuous analog voltage to a
discrete digital number.
The Stellaris ADC module features 10-bit conversion resolution and supports foursix input
channels, plus an internal temperature sensor. Four buffered sample sequences allow rapid
sampling of up to eight analog input sources without controller intervention. Each sample
sequence provides flexible programming with fully configurable input source, trigger events,
interrupt generation, and sequence priority.
1.4.3.2
Analog Comparator (Section 14 on page 309)
An analog comparator is a peripheral that compares two analog voltages, and provides a logical
output that signals the comparison result.
The LM3S315 controller provides one independent integrated analog comparators that can be
configured to drive an output or generate an interrupt or ADC event.
A comparator can compare a test voltage against any one of these voltages:
An individual external reference voltage
A single external reference voltage
A shared internal reference voltage
The comparator can provide its output to a device pin, acting as a replacement for an analog
comparator on the board, or it can be used to signal the application via interrupts or triggers to the
ADC to cause it to start capturing a sample sequence. The interrupt generation and ADC triggering
logic is separate. This means, for example, that an interrupt can be generated on a rising edge and
the ADC triggered on a falling edge.
1.4.4
Serial Communications Peripherals
The LM3S315 controller supports both asynchronous and synchronous serial communications
with two fully programmable 16C550-type UARTs and SSI serial communications.
1.4.4.1
UART (Section 12 on page 238)
A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is an integrated circuit used for RS-232C
serial communications, containing a transmitter (parallel-to-serial converter) and a receiver
(serial-to-parallel converter), each clocked separately.
The LM3S315 controller includes two fully programmable 16C550-type UARTs that support data
transfer speeds up to 460.8 Kbps. (Although similar in functionality to a 16C550 UART, it is not
register compatible.)
Separate 16x8 transmit (TX) and 16x12 receive (RX) FIFOs reduce CPU interrupt service loading.
The UART can generate individually masked interrupts from the RX, TX, modem status, and error
conditions. The module provides a single combined interrupt when any of the interrupts are
asserted and are unmasked.

April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
1.4.4.2
SSI (Section 13 on page 274)
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a four-wire bi-directional communications interface.
The Stellaris SSI module provides the functionality for synchronous serial communications with
peripheral devices, and can be configured to use the Freescale SPI, MICROWIRE, or TI
synchronous serial interface frame formats. The size of the data frame is also configurable, and
can be set between 4 and 16 bits, inclusive.
The SSI module performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from a peripheral device,
and parallel-to-serial conversion on data transmitted to a peripheral device. The TX and RX paths
are buffered with internal FIFOs, allowing up to eight 16-bit values to be stored independently.
The SSI module can be configured as either a master or slave device. As a slave device, the SSI
module can also be configured to disable its output, which allows a master device to be coupled
with multiple slave devices.
The SSI module also includes a programmable bit rate clock divider and prescaler to generate the
output serial clock derived from the SSI module’s input clock. Bit rates are generated based on the
input clock and the maximum bit rate is determined by the connected peripheral.
1.4.5
System Peripherals
1.4.5.1
Programmable GPIOs (Section 8 on page 115)
General-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins offer flexibility for a variety of connections.
The Stellaris GPIO module is composed of five physical GPIO blocks, each corresponding to an
individual GPIO port. The GPIO module is FiRM-compliant (compliant to the ARM Foundation IP
for Real-Time Microcontrollers specification) and supports 7 to 32 programmable input/output pins.
The number of GPIOs available depends on the peripherals being used (see Table 17-4 on
page 359 for the signals available to each GPIO pin).
The GPIO module features programmable interrupt generation as either edge-triggered or
level-sensitive on all pins, programmable control for GPIO pad configuration, and bit masking in
both read and write operations through address lines.
1.4.5.2
Three Programmable Timers (Section 9 on page 153)
Programmable timers can be used to count or time external events that drive the Timer input pins.
The Stellaris General-Purpose Timer Module (GPTM) contains three GPTM blocks. Each GPTM
block provides two 16-bit timer/counters that can be configured to operate independently as timers
or event counters, or configured to operate as one 32-bit timer or one 32-bit Real-Time Clock
(RTC). Timers can also be used to trigger analog-to-digital (ADC) conversions.
When configured in 32-bit mode, a timer can run as a one-shot timer, periodic timer, or Real-Time
Clock (RTC). When in 16-bit mode, a timer can run as a one-shot timer or periodic timer, and can
extend its precision by using an 8-bit prescaler. A 16-bit timer can also be configured for event
capture or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) generation.
1.4.5.3
Watchdog Timer (Section 10 on page 185)
A watchdog timer can generate nonmaskable interrupts (NMIs) or a reset when a time-out value is
reached. The watchdog timer is used to regain control when a system has failed due to a software
error or to the failure of an external device to respond in the expected way.
The Stellaris Watchdog Timer module consists of a 32-bit down counter, a programmable load
register, interrupt generation logic, and a locking register.
The Watchdog Timer can be configured to generate an interrupt to the controller on its first
time-out, and to generate a reset signal on its second time-out. Once the Watchdog Timer has
April 27, 2007
29
Preliminary
Architectural Overview
been configured, the lock register can be written to prevent the timer configuration from being
inadvertently altered.
1.4.6
Memory Peripherals
The Stellaris controllers offer both SRAM and Flash memory.
1.4.6.1
SRAM (Section 7.2.1 on page 98)
The LM3S315 static random access memory (SRAM) controller supports 4 KB SRAM. The
internal SRAM of the Stellaris devices is located at address 0x2000.0000 of the device memory
map. To reduce the number of time consuming read-modify-write (RMW) operations, ARM has
introduced bit-banding technology in the new Cortex-M3 processor. With a bit-band-enabled
processor, certain regions in the memory map (SRAM and peripheral space) can use address
aliases to access individual bits in a single, atomic operation.
1.4.6.2
Flash (Section 7.2.2 on page 99)
The LM3S315 Flash controller supports 16 KB of flash memory. The flash is organized as a set of
1-KB blocks that can be individually erased. Erasing a block causes the entire contents of the
block to be reset to all 1s. These blocks are paired into a set of 2-KB blocks that can be individually
protected. The blocks can be marked as read-only or execute-only, providing different levels of
code protection. Read-only blocks cannot be erased or programmed, protecting the contents of
those blocks from being modified. Execute-only blocks cannot be erased or programmed, and can
only be read by the controller instruction fetch mechanism, protecting the contents of those blocks
from being read by either the controller or by a debugger.
1.4.7
Additional Features
1.4.7.1
Memory Map (Section 3 on page 41)
A memory map lists the location of instructions and data in memory. The memory map for the
LM3S315 controller can be found on page 41. Register addresses are given as a hexadecimal
increment, relative to the module’s base address as shown in the memory map.
The ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual provides further information on the memory
map.
1.4.7.2
JTAG TAP Controller (Section 5 on page 46)
The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) port provides a standardized serial interface for controlling the
Test Access Port (TAP) and associated test logic. The TAP, JTAG instruction register, and JTAG
data registers can be used to test the interconnects of assembled printed circuit boards, obtain
manufacturing information on the components, and observe and/or control the inputs and outputs
of the controller during normal operation. The JTAG port provides a high degree of testability and
chip-level access at a low cost.
The JTAG port is comprised of the standard five pins: TRST, TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO. Data is
transmitted serially into the controller on TDI and out of the controller on TDO. The interpretation of
this data is dependent on the current state of the TAP controller. For detailed information on the
operation of the JTAG port and TAP controller, please refer to the IEEE Standard 1149.1-Test
Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture.
The LMI JTAG controller works with the ARM JTAG controller built into the Cortex-M3 core. This is
implemented by multiplexing the TDO outputs from both JTAG controllers. ARM JTAG instructions
select the ARM TDO output while LMI JTAG instructions select the LMI TDO outputs. The
multiplexer is controlled by the LMI JTAG controller, which has comprehensive programming for
the ARM, LMI, and unimplemented JTAG instructions.

ARM Cortex-M3 Processor Core
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor provides the core for a high-performance, low-cost platform that
meets the needs of minimal memory implementation, reduced pin count, and low power
consumption, while delivering outstanding computational performance and exceptional system
response to interrupts. Features include:
Compact core.
Thumb-2 instruction set, delivering the high-performance expected of an ARM core in the
memory size usually associated with 8- and 16-bit devices; typically in the range of a few
kilobytes of memory for microcontroller class applications.
Exceptional interrupt handling, by implementing the register manipulations required for
handling an interrupt in hardware.
Memory protection unit (MPU) to provide a privileged mode of operation for complex
applications.
Full-featured debug solution with a:
– Serial Wire JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP)
– Flash Patch and Breakpoint (FPB) unit for implementing breakpoints
– Data Watchpoint and Trigger (DWT) unit for implementing watchpoints, trigger resources,
and system profiling
– Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) for support of printf style debugging
– Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU) for bridging to a Trace Port Analyzer
The Stellaris family of microcontrollers builds on this core to bring high-performance 32-bit
computing to cost-sensitive embedded microcontroller applications, such as factory automation
and control, industrial control power devices, and building and home automation.
For more information on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor core, see the ARM® Cortex™-M3
Technical Reference Manual. For information on SWJ-DP, see the CoreSight™ Design Kit
Technical Reference Manual.

Functional Description
Important: The ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual describes all the features of
an ARM Cortex-M3 in detail. However, these features differ based on the
implementation. This section describes the Stellaris implementation.
Luminary Micro has implemented the ARM Cortex-M3 core as shown in Figure 2-1. As noted in
the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual, several Cortex-M3 components are flexible
in their implementation: SW/JTAG-DP, ETM, TPIU, the ROM table, the MPU, and the Nested
Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC). Each of these is addressed in the sections that follow.
2.2.1
Serial Wire and JTAG Debug
Luminary Micro has replaced the ARM SW-DP and JTAG-DP with the ARM
CoreSight™-compliant Serial Wire JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP) interface. This means Chapter 12,
“Debug Port,” of the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual does not apply to Stellaris
devices.
The SWJ-DP interface combines the SWD and JTAG debug ports into one module. See the
CoreSight™ Design Kit Technical Reference Manual for details on SWJ-DP.

2.2.2
Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM)
ETM was not implemented in the Stellaris devices. This means Chapters 15 and 16 of the ARM®
Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual can be ignored.
2.2.3
Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU)
The TPIU acts as a bridge between the Cortex-M3 trace data from the ITM, and an off-chip Trace
Port Analyzer. The Stellaris devices have implemented TPIU as shown in Figure 2-2. This is
similar to the non-ETM version described in the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual,
however, SWJ-DP only provides SWV output for the TPIU.

2.2.5
Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The Memory Protection Unit (MPU) is included on the LM3S315 controller and supports the
standard ARMv7 Protected Memory System Architecture (PMSA) model. The MPU provides full
support for protection regions, overlapping protection regions, access permissions, and exporting
memory attributes to the system.
2.2.6
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC):
Facilitates low-latency exception and interrupt handling
Controls power management
Implements system control registers
The NVIC supports up to 240 dynamically reprioritizable interrupts each with up to 256 levels of
priority. The NVIC and the processor core interface are closely coupled, which enables low latency
April 27, 2007

Preliminary
ARM Cortex-M3 Processor Core
interrupt processing and efficient processing of late arriving interrupts. The NVIC maintains
knowledge of the stacked (nested) interrupts to enable tail-chaining of interrupts.
You can only fully access the NVIC from privileged mode, but you can pend interrupts in
user-mode if you enable the Configuration Control Register (see the ARM® Cortex™-M3
Technical Reference Manual). Any other user-mode access causes a bus fault.
All NVIC registers are accessible using byte, halfword, and word unless otherwise stated.
All NVIC registers and system debug registers are little endian regardless of the endianness state
of the processor.
2.2.6.1
Interrupts
The ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual describes the maximum number of
interrupts and interrupt priorities. The LM3S315 microcontroller supports 24 interrupts with eight
priority levels.
2.2.6.2
System Timer (SysTick)
Cortex-M3 includes an integrated system timer, SysTick. SysTick provides a simple, 24-bit
clear-on-write, decrementing, wrap-on-zero counter with a flexible control mechanism. The
counter can be used in several different ways, for example:
An RTOS tick timer which fires at a programmable rate (for example 100 Hz) and invokes a
SysTick routine.
A high-speed alarm timer using the system clock.
A variable rate alarm or signal timer—the duration is range-dependent on the reference clock
used and the dynamic range of the counter.
A simple counter. Software can use this to measure time to completion and time used.
An internal clock source control based on missing/meeting durations. The COUNTFLAG
bit-field in the control and status register can be used to determine if an action completed
within a set duration, as part of a dynamic clock management control loop.
Functional Description
The timer consists of three registers:
A control and status counter to configure its clock, enable the counter, enable the SysTick
interrupt, and determine counter status.
The reload value for the counter, used to provide the counter's wrap value.
The current value of the counter.
A fourth register, the SysTick Calibration Value Register, is not implemented in the Stellaris
devices.
When enabled, the timer counts down from the reload value to zero, reloads (wraps) to the value
in the SysTick Reload Value register on the next clock edge, then decrements on subsequent
clocks. Writing a value of zero to the Reload Value register disables the counter on the next wrap.
When the counter reaches zero, the COUNTFLAG status bit is set. The COUNTFLAG bit clears on
reads.
Writing to the Current Value register clears the register and the COUNTFLAG status bit. The write
does not trigger the SysTick exception logic. On a read, the current value is the value of the
register at the time the register is accessed.
36
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
If the core is in debug state (halted), the counter will not decrement. The timer is clocked with
respect to a reference clock. The reference clock can be the core clock or an external clock
source.

1 = counter operates in a multi-shot way. That is, counter loads
with the Reload value and then begins counting down. On

value again, and begins counting.
0 = counter disabled.

Register 2: SysTick Reload Value Register
Use the SysTick Reload Value Register to specify the start value to load into the current value
register when the counter reaches 0. It can be any value between 1 and 0x00FFFFFF. A start
value of 0 is possible, but has no effect because the SysTick interrupt and COUNTFLAG are
activated when counting from 1 to 0.
Therefore, as a multi-shot timer, repeated over and over, it fires every N+1 clock pulse, where N is
any value from 1 to 0x00FFFFFF. So, if the tick interrupt is required every 100 clock pulses, 99
must be written into the RELOAD. If a new value is written on each tick interrupt, so treated as
single shot, then the actual count down must be written. For example, if a tick is next required after
400 clock pulses, 400 must be written into the RELOAD.

Interrupts
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor and the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) prioritize and
handle all exceptions. All exceptions are handled in Handler Mode. The processor state is
automatically stored to the stack on an exception, and automatically restored from the stack at the
end of the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). The vector is fetched in parallel to the state saving,
which enables efficient interrupt entry. The processor supports tail-chaining, which enables
back-to-back interrupts to be performed without the overhead of state saving and restoration.
Table 4-1 lists all the exceptions. Software can set eight priority levels on seven of these
exceptions (system handlers) as well as on 24 interrupts (listed in Table 4-2). Priorities on the
system handlers are set with the NVIC System Handler Priority registers. Interrupts are enabled
through the NVIC Interrupt Set Enable register and prioritized with the NVIC Interrupt Priority
registers. You can also group priorities by splitting priority levels into pre-emption priorities and
subpriorities. All the interrupt registers are described in Chapter 8, “Nested Vectored Interrupt
Controller” in the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual.
Internally, the highest user-settable priority (0) is treated as fourth priority, after a Reset, NMI, and
a Hard Fault. Note that 0 is the default priority for all the settable priorities.
If you assign the same priority level to two or more interrupts, their hardware priority (the lower the
position number) determines the order in which the processor activates them. For example, if both
GPIO Port A and GPIO Port B are priority level 1, then GPIO Port A has higher priority.
See Chapter 5, “Exceptions” and Chapter 8, “Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller” in the ARM®
Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual for more information on exceptions and interrupts.

JTAG Interface
The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) port is an IEEE standard that defines a Test Access Port and
Boundary Scan Architecture for digital integrated circuits and provides a standardized serial
interface for controlling the associated test logic. The TAP, Instruction Register (IR), and Data
Registers (DR) can be used to test the interconnections of assembled printed circuit boards and
obtain manufacturing information on the components. The JTAG Port also provides a means of
accessing and controlling design-for-test features such as I/O pin observation and control, scan
testing, and debugging.
The JTAG port is comprised of the standard five pins: TRST, TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO. Data is
transmitted serially into the controller on TDI and out of the controller on TDO. The interpretation of
this data is dependent on the current state of the TAP controller. For detailed information on the
operation of the JTAG port and TAP controller, please refer to the IEEE Standard 1149.1-Test
Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture.
The LMI JTAG controller works with the ARM JTAG controller built into the Cortex-M3 core. This is
implemented by multiplexing the TDO outputs from both JTAG controllers. ARM JTAG instructions
select the ARM TDO output while LMI JTAG instructions select the LMI TDO outputs. The
multiplexer is controlled by the LMI JTAG controller, which has comprehensive programming for
the ARM, LMI, and unimplemented JTAG instructions.
The JTAG module has the following features:
IEEE 1149.1-1990 compatible Test Access Port (TAP) controller
Four-bit Instruction Register (IR) chain for storing JTAG instructions
IEEE standard instructions:
– BYPASS instruction
– IDCODE instruction
– SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction
– EXTEST instruction
– INTEST instruction
ARM additional instructions:
– APACC instruction
– DPACC instruction
– ABORT instruction

Functional Description
A high-level conceptual drawing of the JTAG module is shown in Figure 5-1. The JTAG module is
composed of the Test Access Port (TAP) controller and serial shift chains with parallel update
registers. The TAP controller is a simple state machine controlled by the TRST, TCK and TMS
inputs. The current state of the TAP controller depends on the current value of TRST and the
sequence of values captured on TMS at the rising edge of TCK. The TAP controller determines
when the serial shift chains capture new data, shift data from TDI towards TDO, and update the
parallel load registers. The current state of the TAP controller also determines whether the
Instruction Register (IR) chain or one of the Data Register (DR) chains is being accessed.
The serial shift chains with parallel load registers are comprised of a single Instruction Register
(IR) chain and multiple Data Register (DR) chains. The current instruction loaded in the parallel
load register determines which DR chain is captured, shifted, or updated during the sequencing of
the TAP controller.
Some instructions, like EXTEST and INTEST, operate on data currently in a DR chain and do not
capture, shift, or update any of the chains. Instructions that are not implemented decode to the
BYPASS instruction to ensure that the serial path between TDI and TDO is always connected (see
Table 5-2 on page 52 for a list of implemented instructions).
See “JTAG and Boundary Scan” on page 370 for JTAG timing diagrams.

Preliminary
JTAG Interface
5.2.1
JTAG Interface Pins
The JTAG interface consists of five standard pins: TRST, TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO. These pins and
their associated reset state are given in Table 5-1. Detailed information on each pin follows.

High-Z
Test Reset Input (TRST)
The TRST pin is an asynchronous active Low input signal for initializing and resetting the JTAG
TAP controller and associated JTAG circuitry. When TRST is asserted, the TAP controller resets to
the Test-Logic-Reset state and remains there while TRST is asserted. When the TAP controller
enters the Test-Logic-Reset state, the JTAG Instruction Register (IR) resets to the default
instruction, IDCODE.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TRST pin is enabled after reset. Changes to the
pull-up resistor settings on GPIO Port B should ensure that the internal pull-up resistor remains
enabled on PB7/TRST; otherwise JTAG communication could be lost.
5.2.1.2
Test Clock Input (TCK)
The TCK pin is the clock for the JTAG module. This clock is provided so the test logic can operate
independently of any other system clocks. In addition, it ensures that multiple JTAG TAP
controllers that are daisy-chained together can synchronously communicate serial test data
between components. During normal operation, TCK is driven by a free-running clock with a
nominal 50% duty cycle. When necessary, TCK can be stopped at 0 or 1 for extended periods of
time. While TCK is stopped at 0 or 1, the state of the TAP controller does not change and data in
the JTAG Instruction and Data Registers is not lost.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TCK pin is enabled after reset. This assures that no
clocking occurs if the pin is not driven from an external source. The internal pull-up and pull-down
resistors can be turned off to save internal power as long as the TCK pin is constantly being driven
by an external source.
5.2.1.3
Test Mode Select (TMS)
The TMS pin selects the next state of the JTAG TAP controller. TMS is sampled on the rising edge
of TCK. Depending on the current TAP state and the sampled value of TMS, the next state is
entered. Because the TMS pin is sampled on the rising edge of TCK, the IEEE Standard 1149.1
expects the value on TMS to change on the falling edge of TCK.
Holding TMS high for five consecutive TCK cycles drives the TAP controller state machine to the
Test-Logic-Reset state. When the TAP controller enters the Test-Logic-Reset state, the JTAG
Instruction Register (IR) resets to the default instruction, IDCODE. Therefore, this sequence can
be used as a reset mechanism, similar to asserting TRST. The JTAG Test Access Port state
machine can be seen in its entirety in Figure 5-2 on page 50.
48
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TMS pin is enabled after reset. Changes to the
pull-up resistor settings on GPIO Port C should ensure that the internal pull-up resistor remains
enabled on PC1/TMS; otherwise JTAG communication could be lost.
5.2.1.4
Test Data Input (TDI)
The TDI pin provides a stream of serial information to the IR chain and the DR chains. TDI is
sampled on the rising edge of TCK and, depending on the current TAP state and the current
instruction, presents this data to the proper shift register chain. Because the TDI pin is sampled on
the rising edge of TCK, the IEEE Standard 1149.1 expects the value on TDI to change on the
falling edge of TCK.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TDI pin is enabled after reset. Changes to the
pull-up resistor settings on GPIO Port C should ensure that the internal pull-up resistor remains
enabled on PC2/TDI; otherwise JTAG communication could be lost.
5.2.1.5
Test Data Output (TDO)
The TDO pin provides an output stream of serial information from the IR chain or the DR chains.
The value of TDO depends on the current TAP state, the current instruction, and the data in the
chain being accessed. In order to save power when the JTAG port is not being used, the TDO pin is
placed in an inactive drive state when not actively shifting out data. Because TDO can be
connected to the TDI of another controller in a daisy-chain configuration, the IEEE Standard
1149.1 expects the value on TDO to change on the falling edge of TCK.
By default, the internal pull-up resistor on the TDO pin is enabled after reset. This assures that the
pin remains at a constant logic level when the JTAG port is not being used. The internal pull-up
and pull-down resistors can be turned off to save internal power if a High-Z output value is
acceptable during certain TAP controller states.
5.2.2
JTAG TAP Controller
The JTAG TAP controller state machine is shown in Figure 5-2 on page 50. The TAP controller
state machine is reset to the Test-Logic-Reset state on the assertion of a Power-On-Reset (POR)
or the assertion of TRST. Asserting the correct sequence on the TMS pin allows the JTAG module
to shift in new instructions, shift in data, or idle during extended testing sequences. For detailed
information on the function of the TAP controller and the operations that occur in each state,
please refer to IEEE Standard 1149.1.

Shift Registers
The Shift Registers consist of a serial shift register chain and a parallel load register. The serial
shift register chain samples specific information during the TAP controller’s CAPTURE states and
allows this information to be shifted out of TDO during the TAP controller’s SHIFT states. While the
sampled data is being shifted out of the chain on TDO, new data is being shifted into the serial shift
register on TDI. This new data is stored in the parallel load register during the TAP controller’s
UPDATE states. Each of the shift registers is discussed in detail in “Shift Registers” on page 50.
5.2.4
Operational Considerations
There are certain operational considerations when using the JTAG module. Because the JTAG
pins can be programmed to be GPIOs, board configuration and reset conditions on these pins
must be considered. In addition, because the JTAG module has integrated ARM Serial Wire
Debug, the method for switching between these two operational modes requires clarification.
5.2.4.1
GPIO Functionality
When the controller is reset with either a POR or RST, the JTAG port pins default to their JTAG
configurations. The default configuration includes enabling the pull-up resistors (setting GPIOPUR
50
April 27, 2007
Preliminary

to 1 for PB7 and PC[3:0]) and enabling the alternate hardware function (setting GPIOAFSEL to 1
for PB7 and PC[3:0]) on the JTAG pins.
It is possible for software to configure these pins as GPIOs after reset by writing 0s to PB7 and
PC[3:0]in the GPIOAFSEL register. If the user does not require the JTAG port for debugging or
board-level testing, this provides five more GPIOs for use in the design.
Caution – If the JTAG pins are used as GPIOs in a design, PB7 and PC2 cannot have external
pull-down resistors connected to both of them at the same time. If both pins are pulled Low during
reset, the controller has unpredictable behavior. If this happens, remove one or both of the
pull-down resistors, and apply RST or power-cycle the part
In addition, it is possible to create a software sequence that prevents the debugger from connecting
to the Stellaris microcontroller. If the program code loaded into flash immediately changes the
JTAG pins to their GPIO functionality, the debugger does not have enough time to connect and
halt the controller before the JTAG pin functionality switches. This locks the debugger out of the
part. This can be avoided with a software routine that restores JTAG functionality using an
external trigger.
5.2.4.2
ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
In order to seamlessly integrate the ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) functionality, a serial-wire
debugger must be able to connect to the Cortex-M3 core without having to perform, or have any
knowledge of, JTAG cycles. This is accomplished with a SWD preamble that is issued before the
SWD session begins.
The preamble used to enable the SWD interface of the SWJ-DP module starts with the TAP
controller in the Test-Logic-Reset state. From here, the preamble sequences the TAP controller
through the following states: Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, Capture IR, Exit1 IR, Update IR,
Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, Capture IR, Exit1 IR, Update IR, Run Test Idle, Select DR,
Select IR, and Test-Logic-Reset states.
Stepping through the JTAG TAP Instruction Register (IR) load sequences of the TAP state
machine twice without shifting in a new instruction enables the SWD interface and disables the
JTAG interface. For more information on this operation and the SWD interface, see the ARM®
Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual and the ARM® CoreSight Technical Reference Manual.
Because this sequence is a valid series of JTAG operations that could be issued, the ARM JTAG
TAP controller is not fully compliant to the IEEE Standard 1149.1. This is the only instance where
the ARM JTAG TAP controller does not meet full compliance with the specification. Due to the low
probability of this sequence occurring during normal operation of the TAP controller, it should not
affect normal performance of the JTAG interface.
5.3
Initialization and Configuration
After a Power-On-Reset or an external reset (RST), the JTAG pins are automatically configured for
JTAG communication. No user-defined initialization or configuration is needed. However, if the
user application changes these pins to their GPIO function, they must be configured back to their
JTAG functionality before JTAG communication can be restored. This is done by enabling the five
JTAG pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]) for their alternate function using the GPIOAFSEL register.

Register Descriptions
There are no APB-accessible registers in the JTAG TAP Controller or Shift Register chains. The
registers within the JTAG controller are all accessed serially through the TAP Controller. The
registers can be broken down into two main categories: Instruction Registers and Data Registers.
5.4.1
Instruction Register (IR)
The JTAG TAP Instruction Register (IR) is a four-bit serial scan chain with a parallel load register
connected between the JTAG TDI and TDO pins. When the TAP Controller is placed in the correct
states, bits can be shifted into the Instruction Register. Once these bits have been shifted into the
chain and updated, they are interpreted as the current instruction. The decode of the Instruction
Register bits is shown in Table 5-2. A detailed explanation of each instruction, along with its
associated Data Register, follows.

5.4.1.1
Description
Captures the current I/O values and shifts the sampled values out of the
Boundary Scan Chain while new preload data is shifted in.
EXTEST Instruction
The EXTEST instruction does not have an associated Data Register chain. The EXTEST
instruction uses the data that has been preloaded into the Boundary Scan Data Register using the
SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction. When the EXTEST instruction is present in the Instruction
Register, the preloaded data in the Boundary Scan Data Register associated with the outputs and
output enables are used to drive the GPIO pads rather than the signals coming from the core. This
allows tests to be developed that drive known values out of the controller, which can be used to
verify connectivity.
5.4.1.2
INTEST Instruction
The INTEST instruction does not have an associated Data Register chain. The INTEST instruction
uses the data that has been preloaded into the Boundary Scan Data Register using the SAMPLE/
PRELOAD instruction. When the INTEST instruction is present in the Instruction Register, the
preloaded data in the Boundary Scan Data Register associated with the inputs are used to drive
the signals going into the core rather than the signals coming from the GPIO pads. This allows
52
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
tests to be developed that drive known values into the controller, which can be used for testing. It
is important to note that although the RST input pin is on the Boundary Scan Data Register chain,
it is only observable.
5.4.1.3
SAMPLE/PRELOAD Instruction
The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction connects the Boundary Scan Data Register chain between
TDI and TDO. This instruction samples the current state of the pad pins for observation and
preloads new test data. Each GPIO pad has an associated input, output, and output enable signal.
When the TAP controller enters the Capture DR state during this instruction, the input, output, and
output-enable signals to each of the GPIO pads are captured. These samples are serially shifted
out of TDO while the TAP controller is in the Shift DR state and can be used for observation or
comparison in various tests.
While these samples of the inputs, outputs, and output enables are being shifted out of the
Boundary Scan Data Register, new data is being shifted into the Boundary Scan Data Register
from TDI. Once the new data has been shifted into the Boundary Scan Data Register, the data is
saved in the parallel load registers when the TAP controller enters the Update DR state. This
update of the parallel load register preloads data into the Boundary Scan Data Register that is
associated with each input, output, and output enable. This preloaded data can be used with the
EXTEST and INTEST instructions to drive data into or out of the controller. Please see “Boundary
Scan Data Register” on page 54 for more information.
5.4.1.4
ABORT Instruction
The ABORT instruction connects the associated ABORT Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides read and write access to the ABORT Register of the ARM Debug
Access Port (DAP). Shifting the proper data into this Data Register clears various error bits or
initiates a DAP abort of a previous request. Please see the “ABORT Data Register” on page 55 for
more information.
5.4.1.5
DPACC Instruction
The DPACC instruction connects the associated DPACC Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides read and write access to the DPACC Register of the ARM Debug
Access Port (DAP). Shifting the proper data into this register and reading the data output from this
register allows read and write access to the ARM debug and status registers. Please see “DPACC
Data Register” on page 55 for more information.
5.4.1.6
APACC Instruction
The APACC instruction connects the associated APACC Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides read and write access to the APACC Register of the ARM Debug
Access Port (DAP). Shifting the proper data into this register and reading the data output from this
register allows read and write access to internal components and buses through the Debug Port.
Please see “APACC Data Register” on page 55 for more information.
5.4.1.7
IDCODE Instruction
The IDCODE instruction connects the associated IDCODE Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction provides information on the manufacturer, part number, and version of the
ARM core. This information can be used by testing equipment and debuggers to automatically
configure their input and output data streams. IDCODE is the default instruction that is loaded into
the JTAG Instruction Register when a power-on-reset (POR) is asserted, TRST is asserted, or the
Test-Logic-Reset state is entered. Please see “IDCODE Data Register” on page 54 for more
information.
April 27, 2007
53
Preliminary
JTAG Interface
5.4.1.8
BYPASS Instruction
The BYPASS instruction connects the associated BYPASS Data Register chain between TDI and
TDO. This instruction is used to create a minimum length serial path between the TDI and TDO
ports. The BYPASS Data Register is a single-bit shift register. This instruction improves test
efficiency by allowing components that are not needed for a specific test to be bypassed in the
JTAG scan chain by loading them with the BYPASS instruction. Please see “BYPASS Data
Register” on page 54 for more information.
5.4.2
Data Registers
The JTAG module contains six Data Registers. These include: IDCODE, BYPASS, Boundary
Scan, APACC, DPACC, and ABORT serial Data Register chains. Each of these Data Registers is
discussed in the following sections.
5.4.2.1
IDCODE Data Register
The format for the 32-bit IDCODE Data Register defined by the IEEE Standard 1149.1 is shown in
Figure 5-3. The standard requires that every JTAG-compliant device implement either the
IDCODE instruction or the BYPASS instruction as the default instruction. The LSB of the IDCODE
Data Register is defined to be a 1 to distinguish it from the BYPASS instruction, which has an LSB
of 0. This allows auto configuration test tools to determine which instruction is the default
instruction.
The major uses of the JTAG port are for manufacturer testing of component assembly, and
program development and debug. To facilitate the use of auto-configuration debug tools, the
IDCODE instruction outputs a value of 0x1BA00477. This value indicates an ARM Cortex-M3,
Version 1 processor. This allows the debuggers to automatically configure themselves to work
correctly with the Cortex-M3 during debug.

Boundary Scan Data Register
The format of the Boundary Scan Data Register is shown in Figure 5-5. Each GPIO pin, in a
counter-clockwise direction from the JTAG port pins, is included in the Boundary Scan Data
Register. Each GPIO pin has three associated digital signals that are included in the chain. These
54

signals are input, output, and output enable, and are arranged in that order as can be seen in the
figure. In addition to the GPIO pins, the controller reset pin, RST, is included in the chain. Because
the reset pin is always an input, only the input signal is included in the Data Register chain.
When the Boundary Scan Data Register is accessed with the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction, the
input, output, and output enable from each digital pad are sampled and then shifted out of the
chain to be verified. The sampling of these values occurs on the rising edge of TCK in the Capture
DR state of the TAP controller. While the sampled data is being shifted out of the Boundary Scan
chain in the Shift DR state of the TAP controller, new data can be preloaded into the chain for use
with the EXTEST and INTEST instructions. These instructions either force data out of the
controller, with the EXTEST instruction, or into the controller, with the INTEST instruction.

System Control
System control determines the overall operation of the device. It provides information about the
device, controls the clocking of the device and individual peripherals, and handles reset detection
and reporting.
6.1
Functional Description
The System Control module provides the following capabilities:
6.1.1
Device identification, see page 56
Local control, such as reset (see page 56), power (see page 59) and clock control (see
page 59)
System control (Run, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep modes), see page 61
Device Identification
Seven read-only registers provide software with information on the microcontroller, such as
version, part number, SRAM size, Flash size, and other features. See the DID0, DID1 and
DC0-DC4 registers starting on page 64.
6.1.2
Reset Control
This section discusses aspects of hardware functions during reset as well as system software
requirements following the reset sequence.
6.1.2.1
Reset Sources
The controller has six sources of reset:
1. External reset input pin (RST) assertion, see page 56.
2. Power-on reset (POR), see page 57.
3. Internal brown-out (BOR) detector, see page 57.
4. Software-initiated reset (with the software reset registers), see page 58.
5. A watchdog timer reset condition violation, see page 58.
6. Internal low drop-out (LDO) regulator output, see page 59.
After a reset, the Reset Cause (RESC) register (see page 83) is set with the reset cause. The bits
in this register are sticky and maintain their state across multiple reset sequences, except when an
external reset is the cause, and then all the other bits in the RESC register are cleared.
Note:
6.1.2.2
The main oscillator is used for external resets and power-on resets; the internal oscillator
is used during the internal process by internal reset and clock verification circuitry.
RST Pin Assertion
The external reset pin (RST) resets the controller. This resets the core and all the peripherals
except the JTAG TAP controller (see “JTAG Interface” on page 46). The external reset sequence is
as follows:
1. The external reset pin (RST) is asserted and then de-asserted.
2. After RST is de-asserted, the main crystal oscillator must be allowed to settle and there is an
internal main oscillator counter that takes from 15-30 ms to account for this. During this time,
internal reset to the rest of the controller is held active.
56
April 27, 2007

3. The internal reset is released and the controller fetches and loads the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then
begins execution.
The external reset timing is shown in Figure 19-8 on page 373.
6.1.2.3
Power-On Reset (POR)
The Power-On Reset (POR) circuitry detects a rise in power-supply voltage and generates an
on-chip reset pulse. To use the on-chip circuitry, the RST input needs a pull-up resistor (1K to
10K Ω).
The device must be operating within the specified operating parameters at the point when the
on-chip power-on reset pulse is complete. The specified operating parameters include supply
voltage, frequency, temperature, and so on. If the operating conditions are not met at the point of
POR end, the Stellaris controller does not operate correctly. In this case, the reset must be
extended using external circuitry. The RST input may be used with the circuit as shown in
Figure 6-1.

R2
The R1 and C1 components define the power-on delay. The R2 resistor mitigates any leakage from
the RST input. The diode discharges C1 rapidly when the power supply is turned off.
The Power-On Reset sequence is as follows:
1. The controller waits for the later of external reset (RST) or internal POR to go inactive.
2. After the resets are inactive, the main crystal oscillator must be allowed to settle and there is
an internal main oscillator counter that takes from 15-30 ms to account for this. During this
time, internal reset to the rest of the controller is held active.
3. The internal reset is released and the controller fetches and loads the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then
begins execution.
The internal POR is only active on the initial power-up of the controller. The Power-On Reset
timing is shown in Figure 19-9 on page 373.
6.1.2.4
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
A drop in the input voltage resulting in the assertion of the internal brown-out detector can be used
to reset the controller. This is initially disabled and may be enabled by software.
The system provides a brown-out detection circuit that triggers if VDD drops below VBTH. The
circuit is provided to guard against improper operation of logic and peripherals that operate off VDD
and not the LDO voltage. If a brown-out condition is detected, the system may generate a
controller interrupt or a system reset. The BOR circuit has a digital filter that protects against
noise-related detection. This feature may be optionally enabled.

Preliminary
System Control
Brown-out resets are controlled with the Power-On and Brown-Out Reset Control (PBORCTL)
register (see page 74). The BORIOR bit in the PBORCTL register must be set for a brown-out to
trigger a reset. The brown-out reset sequence is as follows:
1. When VDD drops below VBTH, an internal BOR condition is set.
2. If the BORWT bit in the PBORCTL register is set, the BOR condition is resampled sometime
later (specified by BORTIM) to determine if the original condition was caused by noise. If the
BOR condition is not met the second time, then no action is taken.
3. If the BOR condition exists, an internal reset is asserted.
4. The internal reset is released and the controller fetches and loads the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then
begins execution.
5. The internal BOR signal is released after 500 µs to prevent another BOR condition from being
set before software has a chance to investigate the original cause.
The internal Brown-Out Reset timing is shown in Figure 19-10 on page 373.
6.1.2.5
Software Reset
Each peripheral can be reset by software. There are three registers that control this function (see
the SRCRn registers, starting on page 76). If the bit position corresponding to a peripheral is set,
the peripheral is reset. The encoding of the reset registers is consistent with the encoding of the
clock gating control for peripherals and on-chip functions (see “System Control” on page 61).
Writing a bit lane with a value of 1 initiates a reset of the corresponding unit. Note that all reset
signals for all clocks of the specified unit are asserted as a result of a software-initiated reset.
The entire system can be reset by software also. Setting the SYSRESETREQ bit in the Cortex-M3
Application Interrupt and Reset Control register resets the entire system including the core. The
software-initiated system reset sequence is as follows:
1. A software system reset in initiated by writing the SYSRESETREQ bit in the ARM Cortex-M3
Application Interrupt and Reset Control register.
2. An internal reset is asserted.
3. The internal reset is released and the controller fetches and loads the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then
begins execution.
The software-initiated system reset timing is shown in Figure 19-11 on page 373.
6.1.2.6
Watchdog Timer Reset
The watchdog timer module's function is to prevent system hangs. The watchdog timer can be
configured to generate an interrupt to the controller on its first time-out, and to generate a reset
signal on its second time-out.
After the first time-out event, the 32-bit counter is reloaded with the value of the Watchdog Timer
Load (WDTLOAD) register (see page 188), and the timer resumes counting down from that value.
If the timer counts down to its zero state again before the first time-out interrupt is cleared, and the
reset signal has been enabled, the watchdog timer asserts its reset signal to the system. The
watchdog timer reset sequence is as follows:
1. The watchdog timer times out for the second time without being serviced.
2. An internal reset is asserted.

3. The internal reset is released and the controller fetches and loads the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then
begins execution.
The watchdog reset timing is shown in Figure 19-12 on page 374.
6.1.2.7
Low Drop-Out
A reset can be initiated when the internal low drop-out (LDO) regulator output goes unregulated.
This is initially disabled and may be enabled by software. LDO is controlled with the LDO Power
Control (LDOPCTL) register (see page 75). The LDO reset sequence is as follows:
1. LDO goes unregulated and the LDOARST bit in the LDOARST register is set.
2. An internal reset is asserted.
3. The internal reset is released and the controller fetches and loads the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then
begins execution.
The LDO reset timing is shown in Figure 19-13 on page 374.
6.1.3
Power Control
The LDO regulator permits the adjustment of the on-chip output voltage (VOUT). The output may
be adjusted in 50 mV increments between the range of 2.25 V through 2.75 V. The adjustment is
made through the VADJ field of the LDO Power Control (LDOPCTL) register (see page 75).
6.1.4
Clock Control
System control determines the clocking and control of clocks in this part.
6.1.4.1
Fundamental Clock Sources
There are two fundamental clock sources for use in the device:
The main oscillator, driven from either an external crystal or a single-ended source. As a
crystal, the main oscillator source is specified to run from 1-8 MHz. However, when the crystal
is being used as the PLL source, it must be from 3.579545–8.192 MHz to meet PLL
requirements. As a single-ended source, the range is from DC to the specified speed of the
device.
The internal oscillator, which is an on-chip free running clock. The internal oscillator is
specified to run at 15 MHz ± 50%. It can be used to clock the system, but the tolerance of
frequency range must be met.
The internal system clock may be driven by either of the above two reference sources as well as
the internal PLL, provided that the PLL input is connected to a clock source that meets its AC
requirements.
Nearly all of the control for the clocks is provided by the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC)
register (see page 84).
Figure 6-2 shows the logic for the main clock tree. The peripheral blocks are driven by the System
Clock signal and can be programmatically enabled/disabled. The ADC clock signal is
automatically divided down to 14-18 MHz for proper ADC operation. The PWM clock signal is a
synchronous divide by of the system clock to provide the PWM circuit with more range.

PLL Frequency Configuration
The user does not have direct control over the PLL frequency, but is required to match the external
crystal used to an internal PLL-Crystal table. This table is used to create the best fit for PLL
parameters to the crystal chosen. Not all crystals result in the PLL operating at exactly 200 MHz,
though the frequency is within ±1%. The result of the lookup is kept in the XTAL to PLL
Translation (PLLCFG) register (see page 89).
Table 6-4 on page 88 describes the available crystal choices and default programming of the
PLLCFG register. The crystal number is written into the XTAL field of the Run-Mode Clock
Configuration (RCC) register (see page 84). Any time the XTAL field changes, a read of the
internal table is performed to get the correct value. Table 6-4 on page 88 describes the available
crystal choices and default programming values.
6.1.4.3
PLL Modes
The PLL has two modes of operation: Normal and Power-Down
Normal: The PLL multiplies the input clock reference and drives the output.
Power-Down: Most of the PLL internal circuitry is disabled and the PLL does not drive the
output.
The modes are programmed using the RCC register fields as shown in Table 6-4 on page 88.
6.1.4.4
PLL Operation
If the PLL configuration is changed, the PLL output is not stable for a period of time (PLL
TREADY=0.5 ms) and during this time, the PLL is not usable as a clock reference.
The PLL is changed by one of the following:
Change to the XTAL value in the RCC register (see page 84)—writes of the same value do not
cause a relock.
Change in the PLL from Power-Down to Normal mode.
A counter is defined to measure the TREADY requirement. The counter is clocked by the main
oscillator. The range of the main oscillator has been taken into account and the down counter is
set to 0x1200 (that is, ~600 µs at a 8.192-MHz external oscillator clock). Hardware is provided to
60
April 27, 2007
Preliminary

keep the PLL from being used as a system clock until the TREADY condition is met after one of the
two changes above. It is the user's responsibility to have a stable clock source (like the main
oscillator) before the RCC register is switched to use the PLL.
6.1.4.5
Clock Verification Timers
There are three identical clock verification circuits that can be enabled though software. The circuit
checks the faster clock by a slower clock using timers:
The main oscillator checks the PLL.
The main oscillator checks the internal oscillator.
The internal oscillator divided by 64 checks the main oscillator.
If the verification timer function is enabled and a failure is detected, the main clock tree is
immediately switched to a working clock and an interrupt is generated to the controller. Software
can then determine the course of action to take. The actual failure indication and clock switching
does not clear without a write to the CLKVCLR register, an external reset, or a POR reset. The
clock verification timers are controlled by the PLLVER, IOSCVER, and MOSCVER bits in the RCC
register (see page 84).
6.1.5
System Control
For power-savings purposes, the RCGCn, SCGCn, and DCGCn registers control the clock gating
logic for each peripheral or block in the system while the controller is in Run, Sleep, and
Deep-Sleep mode, respectively. The DC1, DC2 and DC4 registers act as a write mask for the
RCGCn, SCGCn, and DCGCn registers.
In Run mode, the controller is actively executing code. In Sleep mode, the clocking of the device is
unchanged but the controller no longer executes code (and is no longer clocked). In Deep-Sleep
mode, the clocking of the device may change (depending on the Run mode clock configuration)
and the controller no longer executes code (and is no longer clocked). An interrupt returns the
device to Run mode from one of the sleep modes; the sleep modes are entered on request from
the code. Each mode is described in more detail in this section.
6.1.5.1
Run Mode
Run mode provides normal operation of the processor and all of the peripherals that are currently
enabled by the RCGCn registers. The system clock can be any of the available clock sources
including the PLL.
6.1.5.2
Sleep Mode
In Sleep mode, the Cortex-M3 processor core and the memory subsystem are not clocked.
Peripherals are clocked that are enabled in the SCGCn register when Auto Clock Gating is
enabled (see RCC register on page 84) or the RCGCn register when the Auto Clock Gating is
disabled. The System Clock has the same source and frequency as that during Run mode.
6.1.5.3
Deep-Sleep Mode
The Cortex-M3 processor core and the memory subsystem are not clocked. Peripherals are
clocked that are enabled in the DCGCn register when Auto Clock Gating is enabled (see RCC
register) or the RCGCn register when the Auto Clock Gating is disabled. The system clock source
is the main oscillator by default or the internal oscillator specified in the DSLPCLKCFG register if
one is enabled (see page 95). When the DSLPCLKCFG register is used, the internal oscillator is
powered up, if necessary, and the main oscillator is powered down. If the PLL is running at the
time of the WFI instruction, hardware powers the PLL down and overrides the SYSDIV field of the
active RCC register to be /16 or /64 respectively. When the Deep-Sleep exit event occurs,
April 27, 2007
61
Preliminary
System Control
hardware brings the system clock back to the source and frequency it had at the onset of
Deep-Sleep mode before enabling the clocks that were stopped during the Deep-Sleep duration.
6.2
Initialization and Configuration
The PLL is configured using direct register writes to the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC)
register. The steps required to successfully change the PLL-based system clock are:
1. Bypass the PLL and system clock divider by setting the BYPASS bit and clearing the USESYS
bit in the RCC register. This configures the system to run off a “raw” clock source (using the
main oscillator or internal oscillator) and allows for the new PLL configuration to be validated
before switching the system clock to the PLL.
2. Select the crystal value (XTAL) and oscillator source (OSCSRC), and clear the PWRDN and OEN
bits in RCC. Setting the XTAL field automatically pulls valid PLL configuration data for the
appropriate crystal, and clearing the PWRDN and OEN bits powers and enables the PLL and its
output.
3. Select the desired system divider (SYSDIV) and set the USESYS bit in RCC. The SYSDIV field
determines the system frequency for the microcontroller.
4. Wait for the PLL to lock by polling the PLLLRIS bit in the Raw Interrupt Status (RIS) register.
If the PLL doesn’t lock, the configuration is invalid.
5. Enable use of the PLL by clearing the BYPASS bit in RCC.
Important: If the BYPASS bit is cleared before the PLL locks, it is possible to render the device
unusable.

Description
Reserved bits return an indeterminate value, and should

This field specifies the number of internal oscillator clocks
delayed before the BOR output is resampled if the BORWT
bit is set.
The width of this field is derived by the tBOR width of 500 µs
and the internal oscillator (IOSC) frequency of 15 MHz ±
50%. At +50%, the counter value has to exceed 10,000.

BOR Wait and Check for Noise
This bit specifies the response to a brown-out signal
assertion. If BORWT is set to 1, the controller waits BORTIM
IOSC periods before resampling the BOR output, and if
asserted, it signals a BOR condition interrupt or reset. If the
BOR resample is deasserted, the cause of the initial
assertion was likely noise and the interrupt or reset is
suppressed. If BORWT is 0, BOR assertions do not resample
the output and any condition is reported immediately if
enabled.

Auto Clock Gating
This bit specifies whether the system uses the Sleep-Mode
Clock Gating Control (SCGCn) registers (see page 90)
and Deep-Sleep-Mode Clock Gating Control (DCGCn)
registers (see page 90) if the controller enters a Sleep or
Deep-Sleep mode (respectively). If set, the SCGCn or
DCGCn registers are used to control the clocks distributed
to the peripherals when the controller is in a sleep mode.
Otherwise, the Run-Mode Clock Gating Control (RCGCn)
registers (see page 90) are used when the controller enters
a sleep mode.
The RCGCn registers are always used to control the clocks
in Run mode.
This allows peripherals to consume less power when the
controller is in a sleep mode and the peripheral is unused.

Register 21: Deep-Sleep-Mode Clock Gating Control 0 (DCGC0), offset 0x120
These registers control the clock gating logic. Each bit controls a clock enable for a given
interface, function, or unit. If set, the unit receives a clock and functions. Otherwise, the unit is
unclocked and disabled (saving power). If the unit is unclocked, reads or writes to the unit will
generate a bus fault. The reset state of these bits is 0 (unclocked) unless otherwise noted, so that
all functional units are disabled. It is the responsibility of software to enable the ports necessary for
the application. Note that these registers may contain more bits than there are interfaces,
functions, or units to control. This is to assure reasonable code compatibility with other family and
future parts.
RCGC0 is the clock configuration register for running operation, SCGC0 for Sleep operation, and
DCGC0 for Deep-Sleep operation. Setting the ACG bit in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration
(RCC) register (see page 84) specifies that the system uses sleep modes.

Internal Memory
The LM3S315 microcontroller comes with 4 KB of bit-banded SRAM and 16 KB of flash memory.
The flash controller provides a user-friendly interface, making flash programming a simple task.
Flash protection can be applied to the flash memory on a 2-KB block basis.

Functional Description
This section describes the functionality of both memories.
7.2.1
SRAM Memory
The internal SRAM of the Stellaris devices is located at address 0x20000000 of the device
memory map. To reduce the number of time consuming read-modify-write (RMW) operations,
ARM has introduced bit-banding technology in the new Cortex-M3 processor. With a
bit-band-enabled processor, certain regions in the memory map (SRAM and peripheral space) can
use address aliases to access individual bits in a single, atomic operation.
98
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
The bit-band alias is calculated by using the formula:
bit-band alias = bit-band base + (byte offset * 32) + (bit number * 4)
For example, if bit 3 at address 0x20001000 is to be modified, the bit-band alias is calculated as:
0x22000000 + (0x1000 * 32) + (3 * 4) = 0x2202000C
With the alias address calculated, an instruction performing a read/write to address 0x2202000C
allows direct access to only bit 3 of the byte at address 0x20001000.
For details about bit-banding, please refer to Chapter 4, “Memory Map” in the ARM® Cortex™-M3
Technical Reference Manual.
7.2.2
Flash Memory
The flash is organized as a set of 1-KB blocks that can be individually erased. Erasing a block
causes the entire contents of the block to be reset to all 1s. These blocks are paired into a set of
2-KB blocks that can be individually protected. The blocks can be marked as read-only or
execute-only, providing different levels of code protection. Read-only blocks cannot be erased or
programmed, protecting the contents of those blocks from being modified. Execute-only blocks
cannot be erased or programmed, and can only be read by the controller instruction fetch
mechanism, protecting the contents of those blocks from being read by either the controller or by a
debugger.
7.2.2.1
Flash Memory Timing
The timing for the flash is automatically handled by the flash controller. However, in order to do so,
it must know the clock rate of the system in order to time its internal signals properly. The number
of clock cycles per microsecond must be provided to the flash controller for it to accomplish this
timing. It is software's responsibility to keep the flash controller updated with this information via
the USec Reload (USECRL) register (see page 106).
On reset, USECRL is loaded with a value that configures the flash timing so that it works with the
default crystal value of 6 MHz. If software changes the system operating frequency, the new
operating frequency must be loaded into USECRL before any flash modifications are attempted.
For example, if the device is operating at a speed of 20 MHz, a value of 0x13 must be written to
the USECRL register.
7.2.2.2
Flash Memory Protection
The user is provided two forms of flash protection per 2-KB flash blocks in two 32-bit wide
registers. The protection policy for each form is controlled by individual bits (per policy per block) in
the FMPPE (see page 105) and FMPRE registers (see page 104).
Flash Memory Protection Program Enable (FMPPE[Blockn:Block0]): If set, the block may
be programmed (written) or erased. If cleared, the block may not be changed.
Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE[Blockn:Block0]): If set, the block may be
executed or read by software or debuggers. If cleared, the block may only be executed. The
contents of the memory block are prohibited from being accessed as data and traversing the
DCode bus.
April 27, 2007

The policies may be combined as shown in Table 7-1.

No protection. The block may be written, erased, executed, or read.
An access that attempts to program or erase a PE-protected block is prohibited. A controller
interrupt may be optionally generated (by setting the AMASK bit in the FIM register) to alert
software developers of poorly behaving software during the development and debug phases.
An access that attempts to read an RE-protected block is prohibited. Such accesses return data
filled with all 0s. A controller interrupt may be optionally generated to alert software developers of
poorly behaving software during the development and debug phases.
The factory settings for the FMPRE and FMPPE registers are a value of 1 for all implemented
banks. This implements a policy of open access and programmability. The register bits may be
changed by writing the specific register bit. The changes are not permanent until the register is
committed (saved), at which point the bit change is permanent. If a bit is changed from a 1 to a 0
and not committed, it may be restored by executing a power-on reset sequence.
7.2.2.3
Flash Protection by Disabling Debug Access
Flash memory may also be protected by permanently disabling access to the Debug Access Port
(DAP) through the JTAG and SWD interfaces. This is accomplished by clearing the DBG field of
the FMPRE register.
Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (DBG field): If set to 0x2, access to the DAP is enabled
through the JTAG and SWD interfaces. If clear, access to the DAP is disabled. The DBG field
programming becomes permanent, and irreversible, after a commit sequence is performed.
In the initial state, provided from the factory, access is enabled in order to facilitate code
development and debug. Access to the DAP may be disabled at the end of the manufacturing flow,
once all tests have passed and software loaded. This change will not take effect until the next
power-up of the device. Note that it is recommended that disabling access to the DAP be
combined with a mechanism for providing end-user installable updates (if necessary) such as the
Stellaris boot loader.
Important: Once the DBG field is cleared and committed, this field can never be restored to the
factory-programmed value—which means JTAG/SWD interface to the debug module
can never be re-enabled. This sequence does NOT disable the JTAG controller, it
only disables the access of the DAP through the JTAG or SWD interfaces. The JTAG
interface remains functional and access to the Test Access Port remains enabled,
allowing the user to execute the IEEE JTAG-defined instructions (for example, to
perform boundary scan operations).

Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
If the user will also be using the FMPRE bits to protect flash memory from being read as data (to
mark sets of 2 KB blocks of flash memory as execute-only), these one-time-programmable bits
should be written at the same time that the debug disable bits are programmed. Mechanisms to
execute the one-time code sequence to disable all debug access include:
7.2.2.4
Selecting the debug disable option in the Stellaris boot loader
Loading the debug disable sequence into SRAM and running it once from SRAM after
programming the final end application code into flash
Flash Memory Programming
Writing the flash memory requires that the code be executed out of SRAM to avoid corrupting or
interrupting the bus timing. Flash pages can be erased on a page basis (1 KB in size), or by
performing a mass erase of the entire flash.
All erase and program operations are performed using the Flash Memory Address (FMA), Flash
Memory Data (FMD) and Flash Memory Control (FMC) registers. See section 7.3 for examples.
7.3
Initialization and Configuration
This section shows examples for using the flash controller to perform various operations on the
contents of the flash memory.
7.3.1
Changing Flash Protection Bits
As discussed in Section 7.2.2.2, changes to the protection bits must be committed before they
take effect. The sequence below is used change and commit a block protection bit in the FMPRE
or FMPPE registers. The sequence to change and commit a bit in software is as follows:
1. The Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE) and Flash Memory Protection
Program Enable (FMPPE) registers are written, changing the intended bit(s). The action of
these changes can be tested by software while in this state.
2. The Flash Memory Address (FMA) register (see page 107) bit 0 is set to 1 if the FMPPE
register is to be committed; otherwise, a 0 commits the FMPRE register.
3. The Flash Memory Control (FMC) register (see page 110) is written with the COMT bit set.
This initiates a write sequence and commits the changes.
There is a special sequence to change and commit the DBG bits in the Flash Memory Protection
Read Enable (FMPRE) register. This sequence also sets and commits any changes from 1 to 0 in
the block protection bits (for execute-only) in the FMPRE register.
1. 1. The Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE) register is written, changing the
intended bit(s). The action of these changes can be tested by software while in this state.
2. 2. The Flash Memory Address (FMA) register (see page 102) is written with a value of 0x900.
3. 3. The Flash Memory Control (FMC) register (see page 104) is written with the COMT bit set.
This initiates a write sequence and commits the changes.
Below is an example code sequence to permanently disable the JTAG and SWD interface to the
debug module using Luminary Micro's DriverLib peripheral driver library:
#include "hw_types.h"
#include "hw_flash.h"

Flash Programming
The Stellaris devices provide a user-friendly interface for flash programming. All erase/program
operations are handled via three registers: FMA, FMD and FMC.
The flash is programmed using the following sequence:
1. Write source data to the FMD register.
2. Write the target address to the FMA register.
3. Write the flash write key and the WRITE bit (a value of 0xA4420001) to the FMC register.
4. Poll the FMC register until the WRITE bit is cleared.
To perform an erase of a 1-KB page:
1. Write the page address to the FMA register.
2. Write the flash write key and the ERASE bit (a value of 0xA4420002) to the FMC register.
3. Poll the FMC register until the ERASE bit is cleared.
To perform a mass erase of the flash:
1. Write the flash write key and the MERASE bit (a value of 0xA4420004) to the FMC register.
2. Poll the FMC register until the MERASE bit is cleared.

Internal Memory
Register 1: Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE), offset 0x130
Note:
Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000
This register stores the read-only (FMPRE) protection bits for each 2-KB flash block and bits to
disable debug access through JTAG and SWD. This register is loaded during the power-on reset
sequence.
The factory setting for the FMPRE register is a value of 1 for all implemented flash banks and 0x2
for the DBG field. These bits implement a policy of open access, programmability, and debug
access. The register bits may be changed by writing the specific register bit. However, this register
is R/W0; the user can only change the protection bit from a 1 to a 0 (and may NOT change a 0 to a
1).
The changes are not permanent until the register is committed (saved), at which point the bit
change is permanent. If a bit is changed from a 1 to a 0 and not committed, it may be restored by
executing a power-on reset sequence.
For additional information, see “Flash Memory Protection” on page 87.

Register 6: Flash Memory Control (FMC), offset 0x008
When this register is written, the flash controller initiates the appropriate access cycle for the
location specified by the Flash Memory Address (FMA) register (see page 107). If the access is
a write access, the data contained in the Flash Memory Data (FMD) register (see page 109) is
written.
This is the final register written and initiates the memory operation. There are four control bits in
the lower byte of this register that, when set, initiate the memory operation. The most used of
these register bits are the ERASE and WRITE bits.
It is a programming error to write multiple control bits and the results of such an operation are
unpredictable.

set, the program tried to access the flash counter to the
policy as set in the Flash Memory Protection Read
Enable (FMPRE) and Flash Memory Protection Program
Enable (FMPPE) registers (see page 104). Otherwise, no
access has tried to improperly access the flash.

Functional Description
Important: All GPIO pins are inputs by default (GPIODIR=0 and GPIOAFSEL=0), with the
exception of the five JTAG pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]. The JTAG pins default to their
JTAG functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1). Asserting a Power-On-Reset (POR) or an
external reset (RST) puts both groups of pins back to their default state.
Each GPIO port is a separate hardware instantiation of the same physical block (see Figure 8-2).
The LM3S315 microcontroller contains five ports and thus five of these physical GPIO blocks.

Data Register Operation
To aid in the efficiency of software, the GPIO ports allow for the modification of individual bits in the
GPIO Data (GPIODATA) register (see page 123) by using bits [9:2] of the address bus as a mask.
This allows software drivers to modify individual GPIO pins in a single instruction, without affecting
the state of the other pins. This is in contrast to the "typical" method of doing a read-modify-write
operation to set or clear an individual GPIO pin. To accommodate this feature, the GPIODATA
register covers 256 locations in the memory map.
During a write, if the address bit associated with that data bit is set to 1, the value of the
GPIODATA register is altered. If it is cleared to 0, it is left unchanged.
For example, writing a value of 0xEB to the address GPIODATA + 0x098 would yield as shown in
Figure 8-3, where u is data unchanged by the write.

During a read, if the address bit associated with the data bit is set to 1, the value is read. If the
address bit associated with the data bit is set to 0, it is read as a zero, regardless of its actual
value. For example, reading address GPIODATA + 0x0C4 yields as shown in Figure 8-4.

Data Direction
The GPIO Direction (GPIODIR) register (see page 124) is used to configure each individual pin
as an input or output.
8.2.3
Interrupt Operation
The interrupt capabilities of each GPIO port are controlled by a set of seven registers. With these
registers, it is possible to select the source of the interrupt, its polarity, and the edge properties.
When one or more GPIO inputs cause an interrupt, a single interrupt output is sent to the interrupt
controller for the entire GPIO port. For edge-triggered interrupts, software must clear the interrupt
to enable any further interrupts. For a level-sensitive interrupt, it is assumed that the external
source holds the level constant for the interrupt to be recognized by the controller.
Three registers are required to define the edge or sense that causes interrupts:
GPIO Interrupt Sense (GPIOIS) register (see page 125)
GPIO Interrupt Both Edges (GPIOIBE) register (see page 126)
GPIO Interrupt Event (GPIOIEV) register (see page 127)
Interrupts are enabled/disabled via the GPIO Interrupt Mask (GPIOIM) register (see page 128).
When an interrupt condition occurs, the state of the interrupt signal can be viewed in two locations:
the GPIO Raw Interrupt Status (GPIORIS) and GPIO Masked Interrupt Status (GPIOMIS)
registers (see pages 129 and 130). As the name implies, the GPIOMIS register only shows
interrupt conditions that are allowed to be passed to the controller. The GPIORIS register indicates
that a GPIO pin meets the conditions for an interrupt, but has not necessarily been sent to the
controller.
118
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
In addition to providing GPIO functionality, PB4 can also be used as an external trigger for the
ADC. If PB4 is configured as a non-masked interrupt pin (GPIOIM is set to 1), not only is an
interrupt for PortB generated, but an external trigger signal is sent to the ADC. If the ADC Event
Multiplexer Select (ADCEMUX) register is configured to use the external trigger, an ADC
conversion is initiated.
If no other PortB pins are being used to generate interrupts, the ARM Integrated Nested Vectored
Interrupt Controller (NVIC) Interrupt Set Enable (SETNA) register can disable the PortB interrupts
and the ADC interrupt can be used to read back the converted data. Otherwise, the PortB interrupt
handler needs to ignore and clear interrupts on B4, and wait for the ADC interrupt or the ADC
interrupt needs to be disabled in the SETNA register and the PortB interrupt handler polls the ADC
registers until the conversion is completed.
Interrupts are cleared by writing a 1 to the GPIO Interrupt Clear (GPIOICR) register (see
page 131).
When programming interrupts, the interrupts should be masked (GPIOIM set to 0). Writing any
value to an interrupt control register (GPIOIS, GPIOIBE, or GPIOIEV) can generate a spurious
interrupt if the corresponding bits are enabled.
8.2.4
Mode Control
The GPIO pins can be controlled by either hardware or software. When hardware control is
enabled via the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register (see page 132), the pin
state is controlled by its alternate function (that is, the peripheral). Software control corresponds to
GPIO mode, where the GPIODATA register is used to read/write the corresponding pins.
8.2.5
Pad Configuration
The pad configuration registers allow for GPIO pad configuration by software based on the
application requirements. The pad configuration registers include the GPIODR2R, GPIODR4R,
GPIODR8R, GPIOODR, GPIOPUR, GPIOPDR, GPIOSLR, and GPIODEN registers.
8.2.6
Identification
The identification registers configured at reset allow software to detect and identify the module as
a GPIO block. The identification registers include the GPIOPeriphID0-GPIOPeriphID7 registers
as well as the GPIOPCellID0-GPIOPCellID3 registers.
8.3
Initialization and Configuration
To use the GPIO, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting PORTA, PORTB, PORTC, PORTD,
and PORTE in the RCGC2 register.
On reset, all GPIO pins (except for the five JTAG pins) default to general-purpose input mode
(GPIODIR and GPIOAFSEL both set to 0). Table 8-1 shows all possible configurations of the

Table 8-2 lists the GPIO registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the register’s
address, relative to that GPIO port’s base address:

Important: The GPIO registers in this chapter are duplicated in each GPIO block, however,
depending on the block, all eight bits may not be connected to a GPIO pad (see
Figure 8-1 on page 116). In those cases, writing to those unconnected bits has no
effect and reading those unconnected bits returns no meaningful data.

LM3S315 Data Sheet
Register 1: GPIO Data (GPIODATA), offset 0x000
The GPIODATA register is the data register. In software control mode, values written in the
GPIODATA register are transferred onto the GPIO port pins if the respective pins have been
configured as outputs through the GPIO Direction (GPIODIR) register (see page 124).
In order to write to GPIODATA, the corresponding bits in the mask, resulting from the address bus
bits [9:2], must be High. Otherwise, the bit values remain unchanged by the write.
Similarly, the values read from this register are determined for each bit by the mask bit derived
from the address used to access the data register, bits [9:2]. Bits that are 1 in the address mask
cause the corresponding bits in GPIODATA to be read, and bits that are 0 in the address mask
cause the corresponding bits in GPIODATA to be read as 0, regardless of their value.
A read from GPIODATA returns the last bit value written if the respective pins are configured as
outputs, or it returns the value on the corresponding input pin when these are configured as inputs.
All bits are cleared by a reset.

GPIO Data
This register is virtually mapped to 256 locations in the address
space. To facilitate the reading and writing of data to these
registers by independent drivers, the data read from and the data
written to the registers are masked by the eight address lines
ipaddr[9:2]. Reads from this register return its current
state. Writes to this register only affect bits that are not masked
by ipaddr[9:2] and are configured as outputs. See “Data
Register Operation” on page 117 for examples of reads and
writes.

Register 8: GPIO Masked Interrupt Status (GPIOMIS), offset 0x418
The GPIOMIS register is the masked interrupt status register. Bits read High in GPIOMIS reflect
the status of input lines triggering an interrupt. Bits read as Low indicate that either no interrupt has
been generated, or the interrupt is masked.
In addition to providing GPIO functionality, PB4 can also be used as an external trigger for the
ADC. If PB4 is configured as a non-masked interrupt pin (GPIOIM is set to 1), not only is an
interrupt for PortB generated, but an external trigger signal is sent to the ADC. If the ADC Event
Multiplexer Select (ADCEMUX) register (see page 219) is configured to use the external trigger,
an ADC conversion is initiated.
If no other PortB pins are being used to generate interrupts, the ARM Integrated Nested Vectored
Interrupt Controller (NVIC) Interrupt Set Enable (SETNA) register can disable the PortB interrupts
and the ADC interrupt can be used to read back the converted data. Otherwise, the PortB interrupt
handler needs to ignore and clear interrupts on B4, and wait for the ADC interrupt or the ADC
interrupt needs to be disabled in the SETNA register and the PortB interrupt handler polls the ADC
registers until the conversion is completed.
GPIOMIS is the state of the interrupt after masking.

General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
Register 10: GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL), offset 0x420
The GPIOAFSEL register is the mode control select register. Writing a 1 to any bit in this register
selects the hardware control for the corresponding GPIO line. All bits are cleared by a reset,
therefore no GPIO line is set to hardware control by default.
Caution – All GPIO pins are inputs by default (GPIODIR=0 and GPIOAFSEL=0), with the
exception of the five JTAG pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). The JTAG pins default to their JTAG
functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1). Asserting a Power-On-Reset (POR) or an external reset (RST)
puts both groups of pins back to their default state.
If the JTAG pins are used as GPIOs in a design, PB7 and PC2 cannot have external pull-down
resistors connected to both of them at the same time. If both pins are pulled Low during reset, the
controller has unpredictable behavior. If this happens, remove one or both of the pull-down
resistors, and apply RST or power-cycle the part.
In addition, it is possible to create a software sequence that prevents the debugger from connecting
to the Stellaris microcontroller. If the program code loaded into flash immediately changes the
JTAG pins to their GPIO functionality, the debugger may not have enough time to connect and
halt the controller before the JTAG pin functionality switches. This may lock the debugger out of
the part. This can be avoided with a software routine that restores JTAG functionality based on an
external or software trigger.

Register 14: GPIO Open Drain Select (GPIOODR), offset 0x50C
The GPIOODR register is the open drain control register. Setting a bit in this register enables the
open drain configuration of the corresponding GPIO pad. When open drain mode is enabled, the
corresponding bit should also be set in the GPIO Digital Input Enable (GPIODEN) register (see
page 140). Corresponding bits in the drive strength registers (GPIODR2R, GPIODR4R,
GPIODR8R, and GPIOSLR) can be set to achieve the desired rise and fall times. The GPIO acts
as an open drain input if the corresponding bit in the GPIODIR register is set to 0; and as an open
drain output when set to 1.

General-Purpose Timers
Programmable timers can be used to count or time external events that drive the Timer input pins.
The LM3S315 controller General-Purpose Timer Module (GPTM) contains three GPTM blocks
(Timer0, Timer1, and Timer 2). Each GPTM block provides two 16-bit timer/counters (referred to
as TimerA and TimerB) that can be configured to operate independently as timers or event
counters, or configured to operate as one 32-bit timer or one 32-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC).
Timers can also be used to trigger analog-to-digital (ADC) conversions. The trigger signals from all
of the general-purpose timers are ORed together before reaching the ADC module, so only one
timer should be used to trigger ADC events.
The General-Purpose Timer Module is one timing resource available on the Stellaris
microcontrollers. Other timer resources include the System Timer (SysTick) (see “System Timer
(SysTick)” on page 36) and the PWM timer in the PWM module (see “PWM Timer” on page 320).
The following modes are supported:
32-bit Timer modes:
– Programmable one-shot timer
– Programmable periodic timer
– Real-Time Clock using 32.768-KHz input clock
– Software-controlled event stalling (excluding RTC mode)
16-bit Timer modes:
– General-purpose timer function with an 8-bit prescaler
– Programmable one-shot timer
– Programmable periodic timer
– Software-controlled event stalling
16-bit Input Capture modes:
– Input edge count capture
– Input edge time capture
16-bit PWM mode:
– Simple PWM mode with software-programmable output inversion of the PWM signal

Functional Description
The main components of each GPTM block are two free-running 16-bit up/down counters (referred
to as TimerA and TimerB), two 16-bit match registers, two prescaler match registers, and two
16-bit load/initialization registers and their associated control functions. The exact functionality of
each GPTM is controlled by software and configured through the register interface.
Software configures the GPTM using the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register (see
page 165), the GPTM TimerA Mode (GPTMTAMR) register (see page 166), and the GPTM
TimerB Mode (GPTMTBMR) register (see page 167). When in one of the 32-bit modes, the timer
can only act as a 32-bit timer. However, when configured in 16-bit mode, the GPTM can have its
two 16-bit timers configured in any combination of the 16-bit modes.
9.2.1
GPTM Reset Conditions
After reset has been applied to the GPTM module, the module is in an inactive state, and all
control registers are cleared and in their default states. Counters TimerA and TimerB are initialized
to 0xFFFF, along with their corresponding load registers: the GPTM TimerA Interval Load
(GPTMTAILR) register (see page 175) and the GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR)
register (see page 176). The prescale counters are initialized to 0x00: the GPTM TimerA
Prescale (GPTMTAPR) register (see page 179) and the GPTM TimerB Prescale (GPTMTBPR)
register (see page 180).
9.2.2
32-Bit Timer Operating Modes
Note:
Both the odd- and even-numbered CCP pins are used for 16-bit mode. Only the
even-numbered CCP pins are used for 32-bit mode.

April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
This section describes the three GPTM 32-bit timer modes (One-Shot, Periodic, and RTC) and
their configuration.
The GPTM is placed into 32-bit mode by writing a 0 (One-Shot/Periodic 32-bit timer mode) or a 1
(RTC mode) to the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register. In both configurations, certain
GPTM registers are concatenated to form pseudo 32-bit registers. These registers include:
GPTM TimerA Interval Load (GPTMTAILR) register [15:0], see page 175
GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR) register [15:0], see page 176
GPTM TimerA (GPTMTAR) register [15:0], see page 183
GPTM TimerB (GPTMTBR) register [15:0], see page 184
In the 32-bit modes, the GPTM translates a 32-bit write access to GPTMTAILR into a write access
to both GPTMTAILR and GPTMTBILR. The resulting word ordering for such a write operation is:
GPTMTBILR[15:0]:GPTMTAILR[15:0]. Likewise, a read access to GPTMTAR returns the
value: GPTMTBR[15:0]:GPTMTAR[15:0].
9.2.2.1
32-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
In 32-bit one-shot and periodic timer modes, the concatenated versions of the TimerA and TimerB
registers are configured as a 32-bit down-counter. The selection of one-shot or periodic mode is
determined by the value written to the TAMR field of the GPTM TimerA Mode (GPTMTAMR)
register (see page 166), and there is no need to write to the GPTM TimerB Mode (GPTMTBMR)
register.
When software writes the TAEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register (see page 168), the
timer begins counting down from its preloaded value. Once the 0x00000000 state is reached, the
timer reloads its start value from the concatenated GPTMTAILR on the next cycle. If configured to
be a one-shot timer, the timer stops counting and clears the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. If
configured as a periodic timer, it continues counting.
In addition to reloading the count value, the GPTM generates interrupts and output triggers when it
reaches the 0x0000000 state. The GPTM sets the TATORIS bit in the GPTM Raw Interrupt
Status (GPTMRIS) register (see page 172), and holds it until it is cleared by writing the GPTM
Interrupt Clear (GPTMICR) register (see page 174). If the time-out interrupt is enabled in the
GPTM Interrupt Mask (GPTIMR) register (see page 170), the GPTM also sets the TATOMIS bit in
the GPTM Masked Interrupt Status (GPTMISR) register (see page 173).
The output trigger is a one-clock-cycle pulse that is asserted when the counter hits the
0x00000000 state, and deasserted on the following clock cycle. It is enabled by setting the TAOTE
bit in GPTMCTL, and can trigger SoC-level events such as ADC conversions.
If software reloads the GPTMTAILR register while the counter is running, the counter loads the
new value on the next clock cycle and continues counting from the new value.
If the TASTALL bit in the GPTMCTL register is asserted, the timer freezes counting until the signal
is deasserted.
9.2.2.2
32-Bit Real-Time Clock Timer Mode
In Real-Time Clock (RTC) mode, the concatenated versions of the TimerA and TimerB registers
are configured as a 32-bit up-counter. When RTC mode is selected for the first time, the counter is
loaded with a value of 0x00000001. All subsequent load values must be written to the GPTM
TimerA Match (GPTMTAMATCHR) register (see page 177) by the controller.
The input clock on the CCP0, CCP2 or CCP4 pins is required to be 32.768 KHz in RTC mode. The
clock signal is then divided down to a 1 Hz rate and is passed along to the input of the 32-bit
counter.
April 27, 2007
155
Preliminary
General-Purpose Timers
When software writes the TAEN bit in GPTMCTL, the counter starts counting up from its preloaded
value of 0x00000001. When the current count value matches the preloaded value in
GPTMTAMATCHR, it rolls over to a value of 0x00000000 and continues counting until either a
hardware reset, or it is disabled by software (clearing the TAEN bit). When a match occurs, the
GPTM asserts the RTCRIS bit in GPTMRIS. If the RTC interrupt is enabled in GPTIMR, the GPTM
also sets the RTCMIS bit in GPTMISR and generates a controller interrupt. The status flags are
cleared by writing the RTCCINT bit in GPTMICR.
If the TASTALL and/or TBSTALL bits in the GPTMCTL register are set, the timer does not freeze if
the RTCEN bit is set in GPTMCTL.
9.2.3
16-Bit Timer Operating Modes
The GPTM is placed into global 16-bit mode by writing a value of 0x4 to the GPTM Configuration
(GPTMCFG) register (see page 165). This section describes each of the GPTM 16-bit modes of
operation. Timer A and Timer B have identical modes, so a single description is given using an n
to reference both.
9.2.3.1
16-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
In 16-bit one-shot and periodic timer modes, the timer is configured as a 16-bit down-counter with
an optional 8-bit prescaler that effectively extends the counting range of the timer to 24 bits. The
selection of one-shot or periodic mode is determined by the value written to the TnMR field of the
GPTMTnMR register. The optional prescaler is loaded into the GPTM Timern Prescale
(GPTMTnPR) register.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register, the timer begins counting down from
its preloaded value. Once the 0x0000 state is reached, the timer reloads its start value from
GPTMTnILR and GPTMTnPR on the next cycle. If configured to be a one-shot timer, the timer
stops counting and clears the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. If configured as a periodic timer,
it continues counting.
In addition to reloading the count value, the timer generates interrupts and output triggers when it
reaches the 0x0000 state. The GPTM sets the TnTORIS bit in the GPTMRIS register, and holds it
until it is cleared by writing the GPTMICR register. If the time-out interrupt is enabled in GPTIMR,
the GPTM also sets the TnTOMIS bit in GPTMISR and generates a controller interrupt.
The output trigger is a one-clock-cycle pulse that is asserted when the counter hits the 0x0000
state, and deasserted on the following clock cycle. It is enabled by setting the TnOTE bit in the
GPTMCTL register, and can trigger SoC-level events such as ADC conversions.
If software reloads the GPTMTAILR register while the counter is running, the counter loads the
new value on the next clock cycle and continues counting from the new value.
If the TnSTALL bit in the GPTMCTL register is enabled, the timer freezes counting until the signal
is deasserted.
The following example shows a variety of configurations for a 16-bit free running timer while using
the prescaler. All values assume a 25-MHz clock with Tc=20 ns (clock period).

9.2.3.2
16-Bit Input Edge Count Mode
In Edge Count mode, the timer is configured as a down-counter capable of capturing three types
of events: rising edge, falling edge, or both. To place the timer in Edge Count mode, the TnCMR bit
of the GPTMTnMR register must be set to 0. The type of edge that the timer counts is determined
by the TnEVENT fields of the GPTMCTL register. During initialization, the GPTM Timern Match
(GPTMTnMATCHR) register is configured so that the difference between the value in the
GPTMTnILR register and the GPTMTnMATCHR register equals the number of edge events that
must be counted.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register, the timer is enabled
for event capture. Each input event on the CCP pin decrements the counter by 1 until the event
count matches GPTMTnMATCHR. When the counts match, the GPTM asserts the CnMRIS bit in
the GPTMRIS register (and the CnMMIS bit, if the interrupt is not masked). The counter is then
reloaded using the value in GPTMTnILR, and stopped since the GPTM automatically clears the
TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. Once the event count has been reached, all further events are
ignored until TnEN is re-enabled by software.
Figure 9-2 shows how input edge count mode works. In this case, the timer start value is set to
GPTMnILR=0x000A and the match value is set to GPTMnMATCHR=0x0006 so that four edge
events are counted. The counter is configured to detect both edges of the input signal.
Note that the last two edges are not counted since the timer automatically clears the TnEN bit after
the current count matches the value in the GPTMnMR register.

9.2.3.3
16-Bit Input Edge Time Mode
In Edge Time mode, the timer is configured as a free-running down-counter initialized to the value
loaded in the GPTMTnILR register (or 0xFFFF at reset). This mode allows for event capture of
both rising and falling edges. The timer is placed into Edge Time mode by setting the TnCMR bit in
the GPTMTnMR register, and the type of event that the timer captures is determined by the
TnEVENT fields of the GPTMCTL register.
Note:
Prescaler is not available in 16-Bit Input Edge Time mode.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register, the timer is enabled for event
capture. When the selected input event is detected, the current Tn counter value is captured in the
GPTMTnR register and is available to be read by the controller. The GPTM then asserts the
CnERIS bit (and the CnEMIS bit, if the interrupt is not masked).
After an event has been captured, the timer does not stop counting. It continues to count until the
TnEN bit is cleared. When the timer reaches the 0x0000 state, it is reloaded with the value from the
GPTMnILR register.
Figure 9-3 shows how input edge timing mode works. In the diagram, it is assumed that the start
value of the timer is the default value of 0xFFFF, and the timer is configured to capture rising edge
events.
Each time a rising edge event is detected, the current count value is loaded into the GPTMTnR
register, and is held there until another rising edge is detected (at which point the new count value
is loaded into GPTMTnR).

16-Bit PWM Mode
The GPTM supports a simple PWM generation mode. In PWM mode, the timer is configured as a
down-counter with a start value (and thus period) defined by GPTMTnILR. PWM mode is enabled
with the GPTMTnMR register by setting the TnAMS bit to 0x1, the TNCMR bit to 0x0, and the TnMR
field to 0x2.
PWM mode can take advantage of the 8-bit prescaler by using the GPTM Timern Prescale
Register (GPTMTnPR) and the GPTM Timern Prescale Match Register (GPTMTnPMR). This
effectively extends the range of the timer to 24 bits.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register, the counter begins counting down
until it reaches the 0x0000 state. On the next counter cycle, the counter reloads its start value from
GPTMTnILR (and GPTMTnPR if using a prescaler) and continues counting until disabled by
software clearing the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. No interrupts or status bits are asserted
in PWM mode.
The output PWM signal asserts when the counter is at the value of the GPTMTnILR register (its
start state), and is deasserted when the counter value equals the value in the GPTM Timern
Match Register (GPTMnMATCHR). Software has the capability of inverting the output PWM
signal by setting the TnPWML bit in the GPTMCTL register.
Figure 9-4 shows how to generate an output PWM with a 1-ms period and a 66% duty cycle
assuming a 50-MHz input clock and TnPWML=0 (duty cycle would be 33% for the TnPWML=1
configuration). For this example, the start value is GPTMnIRL=0xC350 and the match value is
GPTMnMR=0x411A.

Initialization and Configuration
To use the general purpose timers, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the GPTM0,
GPTM1, and GPTM2 bits in the RCGC1 register.
This section shows module initialization and configuration examples for each of the supported
timer modes.
9.3.1
32-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
The GPTM is configured for 32-bit One-Shot and Periodic modes by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register is cleared) before making
any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration Register (GPTMCFG) with a value of 0x0.
3. Set the TAMR field in the GPTM TimerA Mode Register (GPTMTAMR):
a. Write a value of 0x1 for One-Shot mode.
b. Write a value of 0x2 for Periodic mode.
4. Load the start value into the GPTM TimerA Interval Load Register (GPTMTAILR).
5. If interrupts are required, set the TATOIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask Register
(GPTMIMR).
6. Set the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register to enable the timer and start counting.
7. Poll the TATORIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if
enabled). In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the TATOCINT bit of the
GPTM Interrupt Clear Register (GPTMICR).

April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
In One-Shot mode, the timer stops counting after step 7. To re-enable the timer, repeat the
sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
9.3.2
32-Bit Real-Time Clock (RTC) Mode
To use the RTC mode, the timer must have a 32.768-KHz input signal on its CCP0, CCP2 or CCP4
pins. To enable the RTC feature, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TAEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration Register (GPTMCFG) with a value of 0x1.
3. Write the desired match value to the GPTM TimerA Match Register (GPTMTAMATCHR).
4. Set/clear the RTCEN bit in the GPTM Control Register (GPTMCTL) as desired.
5. If interrupts are required, set the RTCIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask Register
(GPTMIMR).
6. Set the TAEN bit in the GPTMCTL register to enable the timer and start counting.
When the timer count equals the value in the GPTMTAMATCHR register, the counter is re-loaded
with 0x00000000 and begins counting. If an interrupt is enabled, it does not have to be cleared.
9.3.3
16-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
A timer is configured for 16-bit One-Shot and Periodic modes by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration Register (GPTMCFG) with a value of 0x4.
3. Set the TnMR field in the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register:
a. Write a value of 0x1 for One-Shot mode.
b. Write a value of 0x2 for Periodic mode.
4. If a prescaler is to be used, write the prescale value to the GPTM Timern Prescale Register
(GPTMTnPR).
5. Load the start value into the GPTM Timer Interval Load Register (GPTMTnILR).
6. If interrupts are required, set the TnTOIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask Register
(GPTMIMR).
7. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control Register (GPTMCTL) to enable the timer and start
counting.
8. Poll the TnTORIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if
enabled). In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the TnTOCINT bit of the
GPTM Interrupt Clear Register (GPTMICR).
In One-Shot mode, the timer stops counting after step 8. To re-enable the timer, repeat the
sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
9.3.4
16-Bit Input Edge Count Mode
A timer is configured to Input Edge Count mode by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register with a value of 0x4.
3. In the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register, write the TnCMR field to 0x0 and the TnMR
field to 0x3.
April 27, 2007

Preliminary
General-Purpose Timers
4. Configure the type of event(s) that the timer captures by writing the TnEVENT field of the
GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register.
5. Load the timer start value into the GPTM Timern Interval Load (GPTMTnILR) register.
6. Load the desired event count into the GPTM Timern Match (GPTMTnMATCHR) register.
7. If interrupts are required, set the CnMIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask (GPTMIMR) register.
8. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register to enable the timer and begin waiting for edge
events.
9. Poll the CnMRIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if
enabled). In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the CnMCINT bit of the
GPTM Interrupt Clear (GPTMICR) register.
In Input Edge Count Mode, the timer stops after the desired number of edge events has been
detected. To re-enable the timer, ensure that the TnEN bit is cleared and repeat steps 4-9.
9.3.5
16-Bit Input Edge Timing Mode
A timer is configured to Input Edge Timing mode by the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register with a value of 0x4.
3. In the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register, write the TnCMR field to 0x1 and the TnMR
field to 0x3.
4. Configure the type of event that the timer captures by writing the TnEVENT field of the GPTM
Control (GPTMCTL) register.
5. Load the timer start value into the GPTM Timern Interval Load (GPTMTnILR) register.
6. If interrupts are required, set the CnEIM bit in the GPTM Interrupt Mask (GPTMIMR) register.
7. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register to enable the timer and start
counting.
8. Poll the CnERIS bit in the GPTMRIS register or wait for the interrupt to be generated (if
enabled). In both cases, the status flags are cleared by writing a 1 to the CnECINT bit of the
GPTM Interrupt Clear (GPTMICR) register. The time at which the event happened can be
obtained by reading the GPTM Timern (GPTMTnR) register.
In Input Edge Timing mode, the timer continues running after an edge event has been detected,
but the timer interval can be changed at any time by writing the GPTMTnILR register. The change
takes effect at the next cycle after the write.
9.3.6
16-Bit PWM Mode
A timer is configured to PWM mode using the following sequence:
1. Ensure the timer is disabled (the TnEN bit is cleared) before making any changes.
2. Write the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register with a value of 0x4.
3. In the GPTM Timer Mode (GPTMTnMR) register, set the TnAMS bit to 0x1, the TNCMR bit to
0x0, and the TnMR field to 0x2.
4. Configure the output state of the PWM signal (whether or not it is inverted) in the TnEVENT
field of the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register.
5. Load the timer start value into the GPTM Timern Interval Load (GPTMTnILR) register.
6. Load the GPTM Timern Match (GPTMTnMATCHR) register with the desired value.
162

7. If a prescaler is going to be used, configure the GPTM Timern Prescale (GPTMTnPR)
register and the GPTM Timern Prescale Match (GPTMTnPMR) register.
8. Set the TnEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register to enable the timer and begin
generation of the output PWM signal.
In PWM Timing mode, the timer continues running after the PWM signal has been generated. The
PWM period can be adjusted at any time by writing the GPTMTnILR register, and the change
takes effect at the next cycle after the write.

Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer can generate nonmaskable interrupts (NMIs) or a reset when a time-out value is
reached. The watchdog timer is used to regain control when a system has failed due to a software
error or due to the failure of an external device to respond in the expected way.
The Stellaris Watchdog Timer module consists of a 32-bit down counter, a programmable load
register, interrupt generation logic, a locking register, and user-enabled stalling.
The Watchdog Timer can be configured to generate an interrupt to the controller on its first
time-out, and to generate a reset signal on its second time-out. Once the Watchdog Timer has
been configured, the lock register can be written to prevent the timer configuration from being
inadvertently altered.

Watchdog Timer
10.2
Functional Description
The Watchdog Timer module consists of a 32-bit down counter, a programmable load register,
interrupt generation logic, and a locking register. Once the Watchdog Timer has been configured,
the Watchdog Timer Lock (WDTLOCK) register is written, which prevents the timer configuration
from being inadvertently altered by software.
The Watchdog Timer module generates the first time-out signal when the 32-bit counter reaches
the zero state after being enabled; enabling the counter also enables the watchdog timer interrupt.
After the first time-out event, the 32-bit counter is re-loaded with the value of the Watchdog Timer
Load (WDTLOAD) register, and the timer resumes counting down from that value.
If the timer counts down to its zero state again before the first time-out interrupt is cleared, and the
reset signal has been enabled (via the WatchdogResetEnable function), the Watchdog timer
asserts its reset signal to the system. If the interrupt is cleared before the 32-bit counter reaches its
second time-out, the 32-bit counter is loaded with the value in the WDTLOAD register, and
counting resumes from that value.
If WDTLOAD is written with a new value while the Watchdog Timer counter is counting, then the
counter is loaded with the new value and continues counting.
Writing to WDTLOAD does not clear an active interrupt. An interrupt must be specifically cleared
by writing to the Watchdog Interrupt Clear (WDTICR) register.
The Watchdog module interrupt and reset generation can be enabled or disabled as required.
When the interrupt is re-enabled, the 32-bit counter is preloaded with the load register value and
not its last state.
10.3
Initialization and Configuration
To use the WDT, its peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the WDT bit in the RCGC0 register.
The Watchdog Timer is configured using the following sequence:
1. Load the WDTLOAD register with the desired timer load value.
2. If the Watchdog is configured to trigger system resets, set the RESEN bit in the WDTCTL
register.
3. Set the INTEN bit in the WDTCTL register to enable the Watchdog and lock the control
register.
If software requires that all of the watchdog registers are locked, the Watchdog Timer module can
be fully locked by writing any value to the WDTLOCK register. To unlock the Watchdog Timer,
write a value of 0x1ACCE551.
10.4
Register Map
Table 10-1 lists the Watchdog registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to the Watchdog Timer base address of 0x40000000.

Register 7: Watchdog Lock (WDTLOCK), offset 0xC00
Writing 0x1ACCE551 to the WDTLOCK register enables write access to all other registers. Writing
any other value to the WDTLOCK register re-enables the locked state for register writes to all the
other registers. Reading the WDTLOCK register returns the lock status rather than the 32-bit
value written. Therefore, when write accesses are disabled, reading the WDTLOCK register
returns 0x00000001 (when locked; otherwise, the returned value is 0x00000000 (unlocked)).

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a peripheral that converts a continuous analog voltage to a
discrete digital number.
The Stellaris ADC module features 10-bit conversion resolution and supports four input channels,
plus an internal temperature sensor. The ADC module contains a programmable sequencer which
allows for the sampling of multiple analog input sources without controller intervention. Each
sample sequence provides flexible programming with fully configurable input source, trigger
events, interrupt generation, and sequence priority.
The Stellaris ADC provides the following features:
Four analog input channels
Single-ended and differential-input configurations
Internal temperature sensor
Sample rate of 250 thousand samples/second
Four programmable sample conversion sequences from one to eight entries long, with
corresponding conversion result FIFOs
Flexible trigger control
– Controller (software)
– Timers
– Analog Comparators
– PWM
– GPIO
Hardware averaging of up to 64 samples for improved accuracy

Functional Description
The Stellaris ADC collects sample data by using a programmable sequence-based approach
instead of the traditional single or double-sampling approach found on many ADC modules. Each
sample sequence is a fully programmed series of consecutive (back-to-back) samples, allowing
the ADC to collect data from multiple input sources without having to be re-configured or serviced
by the controller. The programming of each sample in the sample sequence includes parameters
such as the input source and mode (differential versus single-ended input), interrupt generation on
sample completion, and the indicator for the last sample in the sequence.
11.2.1
Sample Sequencers
The sampling control and data capture is handled by the Sample Sequencers. All of the
sequencers are identical in implementation except for the number of samples that can be captured
and the depth of the FIFO. Table 11-1 shows the maximum number of samples that each
Sequencer can capture and its corresponding FIFO depth. In this implementation, each FIFO entry
is a 32-bit word, with the lower 10 bits containing the conversion result.

Preliminary
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
For a given sample sequence, each sample is defined by two 4-bit nibbles in the ADC Sample
Sequence Input Multiplexer Select (ADCSSMUXn) and ADC Sample Sequence Control
(ADCSSCTLn) registers, where "n" corresponds to the sequence number. The ADCSSMUXn
nibbles select the input pin, while the ADCSSCTLn nibbles contain the sample control bits
corresponding to parameters such as temperature sensor selection, interrupt enable, end of
sequence, and differential input mode. Sample Sequencers are enabled by setting the respective
ASENn bit in the ADC Active Sample Sequencer (ADCACTSS) register, but can be configured
before being enabled.
When configuring a sample sequence, multiple uses of the same input pin within the same
sequence is allowed. In the ADCSSCTLn register, the Interrupt Enable (IE) bits can be set
for any combination of samples, allowing interrupts to be generated after every sample in the
sequence if necessary. Also, the END bit can be set at any point within a sample sequence. For
example, if Sequencer 0 is used, the END bit can be set in the nibble associated with the fifth
sample, allowing Sequencer 0 to complete execution of the sample sequence after the fifth
sample.
After a sample sequence completes execution, the result data can be retrieved from the ADC
Sample Sequence Result FIFO (ADCSSFIFOn) registers. The FIFOs are simple circular buffers
that read a single address to "pop" result data. For software debug purposes, the positions of the
FIFO head and tail pointers are visible in the ADC Sample Sequence FIFO Status
(ADCSSFSTATn) registers along with FULL and EMPTY status flags. Overflow and underflow
conditions are monitored using the ADCOSTAT and ADCUSTAT registers.
11.2.2
Module Control
Outside of the Sample Sequencers, the remainder of the control logic is responsible for tasks such
as interrupt generation, sequence prioritization, and trigger configuration.
Most of the ADC control logic runs at the ADC clock rate of 14-18 MHz. The internal ADC divider is
configured automatically by hardware when the system XTAL is selected. The automatic clock
divider configuration targets 16.667 MHz operation for all Stellaris devices.
11.2.2.1
Interrupts
The Sample Sequencers dictate the events that cause interrupts, but they don't have control over
whether the interrupt is actually sent to the interrupt controller. The ADC module's interrupt signal
is controlled by the state of the MASK bits in the ADC Interrupt Mask (ADCIM) register. Interrupt
status can be viewed at two locations: the ADC Raw Interrupt Status (ADCRIS) register, which
shows the raw status of a Sample Sequencer's interrupt signal, and the ADC Interrupt Status
and Clear (ADCISC) register, which shows the logical AND of the ADCRIS register’s INR bit and
the ADCIM register’s MASK bits. Interrupts are cleared by writing a 1 to the corresponding IN bit in
ADCISC.
11.2.2.2
Prioritization
When sampling events (triggers) happen concurrently, they are prioritized for processing by the
values in the ADC Sample Sequencer Priority (ADCSSPRI) register. Valid priority values are in
the range of 0-3, with 0 being the highest priority and 3 being the lowest. Multiple active Sample
Sequencer units with the same priority do not provide consistent results, so software must ensure
that all active Sample Sequencer units have a unique priority value.
11.2.2.3
Sampling Events
Sample triggering for each Sample Sequencer is defined in the ADC Event Multiplexer Select
(ADCEMUX) register. The external peripheral triggering sources vary by Stellaris family member,
but all devices share the "Controller" and "Always" triggers. Software can initiate sampling by
setting the CH bits in the ADC Processor Sample Sequence Initiate (ADCPSSI) register.
210
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
When using the "Always" trigger, care must be taken. If a sequence's priority is too high, it is
possible to starve other lower priority sequences.
11.2.3
Hardware Sample Averaging Circuit
Higher precision results can be generated using the hardware averaging circuit, however, the
improved results are at the cost of throughput. Up to 64 samples can be accumulated and
averaged to form a single data entry in the sequencer FIFO. Throughput is decreased
proportionally to the number of samples in the averaging calculation. For example, if the averaging
circuit is configured to average 16 samples, the throughput is decreased by a factor of 16.
By default the averaging circuit is off and all data from the converter passes through to the
sequencer FIFO. The averaging hardware is controlled by the ADC Sample Averaging Control
(ADCSAC) register (see page 223). There is a single averaging circuit and all input channels
receive the same amount of averaging whether they are single-ended or differential.
11.2.4
Analog-to-Digital Converter
The converter itself generates a 10-bit output value for selected analog input. Special analog pads
are used to minimize the distortion on the input.
11.2.5
Test Modes
There is a user-available test mode that allows for loopback operation within the digital portion of
the ADC module. This can be useful for debugging software without having to provide actual
analog stimulus. This mode is available through the ADC Test Mode Loopback (ADCTMLB)
register (see page 236).
11.2.6
Internal Temperature Sensor
The internal temperature sensor provides an analog temperature reading as well as a reference
voltage. The voltage at the output terminal SENSO is given by the following equation:
SENSO = 2.7 - ((T + 55) / 75)
This relation is shown in Figure 11-2 on page 211.

Internal Temperature Sensor Characteristic
Initialization and Configuration
In order for the ADC module to be used, the PLL must be enabled and using a supported crystal
frequency (see the RCC register on page 84). Using unsupported frequencies can cause faulty
operation in the ADC module.

11.3.1
Module Initialization
Initialization of the ADC module is a simple process with very few steps. The main steps include
enabling the clock to the ADC and reconfiguring the Sample Sequencer priorities (if needed).
The initialization sequence for the ADC is as follows:
1. Enable the ADC clock by writing a value of 0x00010000 to the RCGC1 register in the System
Control module.
2. If required by the application, reconfigure the Sample Sequencer priorities in the ADCSSPRI
register. The default configuration has Sample Sequencer 0 with the highest priority, and
Sample Sequencer 3 as the lowest priority.
11.3.2
Sample Sequencer Configuration
Configuration of the Sample Sequencers is slightly more complex than the module initialization
since each sample sequence is completely programmable.
The configuration for each Sample Sequencer should be as follows:
1. Ensure that the Sample Sequencer is disabled by writing a 0 to the corresponding ASEN bit in
the ADCACTSS register. Programming of the Sample Sequencers is allowed without having
them enabled. Disabling the Sequencer during programming prevents erroneous execution if
a trigger event were to occur during the configuration process.
2. Configure the trigger event for the Sample Sequencer in the ADCEMUX register.
3. For each sample in the sample sequence, configure the corresponding input source in the
ADCSSMUXn register.
4. For each sample in the sample sequence, configure the sample control bits in the
corresponding nibble in the ADCSSCTLn register. When programming the last nibble, ensure
that the END bit is set. Failure to set the END bit causes unpredictable behavior.
5. If interrupts are to be used, write a 1 to the corresponding MASK bit in the ADCIM register.
6. Enable the Sample Sequencer logic by writing a 1 to the corresponding ASEN bit in the
ADCACTSS register.

TS7
R/W

the temperature sensor is read. Otherwise, the input pin
specified by the ADCSSMUX register is read.
30
IE7
R/W
0
The IE7 bit is used during the eighth sample of the sample
sequence and specifies whether the raw interrupt signal (INR0
bit) is asserted at the end of the sample's conversion. If the
MASK0 bit in the ADCIM register is set, the interrupt is
promoted to a controller-level interrupt. When this bit is set, the
raw interrupt is asserted, otherwise it is not. It is legal to have
multiple samples within a sequence generate interrupts.
29
END7
R/W
0
The END7 bit indicates that this is the last sample of the
sequence. It is possible to end the sequence on any sample
position. Samples defined after the sample containing a set
END are not requested for conversion even though the fields
may be non-zero. It is required that software write the END bit
somewhere within the sequence. (Sample Sequencer 3,
which only has a single sample in the sequence, is hardwired
to have the END0 bit set.)
Setting this bit indicates that this sample is the last in the
sequence.

The D7 bit indicates that the analog input is to be differentially

The temperature sensor does not have a differential option.
When set, the analog inputs are differentially sampled.

Functional Description
The Stellaris UART performs the functions of parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversions. It
is similar in functionality to a 16C550 UART, but is not register compatible.
The UART is configured for transmit and/or receive via the TXE and RXE bits of the UART Control
(UARTCTL) register (see page 255). Transmit and receive are both enabled out of reset. Before
any control registers are programmed, the UART must be disabled by clearing the UARTEN bit in
UARTCTL. If the UART is disabled during a TX or RX operation, the current transaction is
completed prior to the UART stopping.
12.2.1
Transmit/Receive Logic
The transmit logic performs parallel-to-serial conversion on the data read from the transmit FIFO.
The control logic outputs the serial bit stream beginning with a start bit, and followed by the data

bits (LSB first), parity bit, and the stop bits according to the programmed configuration in the
control registers. See Figure 12-2 for details.
The receive logic performs serial-to-parallel conversion on the received bit stream after a valid
start pulse has been detected. Overrun, parity, frame error checking, and line-break detection are
also performed, and their status accompanies the data that is written to the receive FIFO.

Baud-Rate Generation
The baud-rate divisor is a 22-bit number consisting of a 16-bit integer and a 6-bit fractional part.
The number formed by these two values is used by the baud-rate generator to determine the bit
period. Having a fractional baud-rate divider allows the UART to generate all the standard baud
rates.
The 16-bit integer is loaded through the UART Integer Baud-Rate Divisor (UARTIBRD) register
(see page 251) and the 6-bit fractional part is loaded with the UART Fractional Baud-Rate
Divisor (UARTFBRD) register (see page 252). The baud-rate divisor (BRD) has the following
relationship to the system clock (where BRDI is the integer part of the BRD and BRDF is the
fractional part, separated by a decimal place.):
BRD = BRDI + BRDF = SysClk / (16 * Baud Rate)
The 6-bit fractional number (that is to be loaded into the DIVFRAC bit field in the UARTFBRD
register) can be calculated by taking the fractional part of the baud-rate divisor, multiplying it by 64,
and adding 0.5 to account for rounding errors:
UARTFBRD[DIVFRAC] = integer(BRDF * 64 + 0.5)
The UART generates an internal baud-rate reference clock at 16x the baud-rate (referred to as
Baud16). This reference clock is divided by 16 to generate the transmit clock, and is used for
error detection during receive operations.
Along with the UART Line Control, High Byte (UARTLCRH) register (see page 253), the
UARTIBRD and UARTFBRD registers form an internal 30-bit register. This internal register is only
updated when a write operation to UARTLCRH is performed, so any changes to the baud-rate
divisor must be followed by a write to the UARTLCRH register for the changes to take effect.
To update the baud-rate registers, there are four possible sequences:
UARTIBRD write, UARTFBRD write, and UARTLCRH write
UARTFBRD write, UARTIBRD write, and UARTLCRH write
UARTIBRD write and UARTLCRH write
UARTFBRD write and UARTLCRH write

12.2.3
Data Transmission
Data received or transmitted is stored in two 16-byte FIFOs, though the receive FIFO has an extra
four bits per character for status information. For transmission, data is written into the transmit
FIFO. If the UART is enabled, it causes a data frame to start transmitting with the parameters
indicated in the UARTLCRH register. Data continues to be transmitted until there is no data left in
the transmit FIFO. The BUSY bit in the UART Flag (UARTFR) register (see page 249) is asserted
as soon as data is written to the transmit FIFO (that is, if the FIFO is non-empty) and remains
asserted while data is being transmitted. The BUSY bit is negated only when the transmit FIFO is
empty, and the last character has been transmitted from the shift register, including the stop bits.
The UART can indicate that it is busy even though the UART may no longer be enabled.
When the receiver is idle (U0Rx or U1Rx is continuously 1) and the data input goes Low (a start bit
has been received), the receive counter begins running and data is sampled on the eighth cycle of
Baud16 (described in “Transmit/Receive Logic” on page 239).
The start bit is valid if U0Rx or U1Rx is still low on the eighth cycle of Baud16, otherwise a false
start bit is detected and it is ignored. Start bit errors can be viewed in the UART Receive Status
(UARTRSR) register (see page 247). If the start bit was valid, successive data bits are sampled on
every 16th cycle of Baud16 (that is, one bit period later) according to the programmed length of
the data characters. The parity bit is then checked if parity mode was enabled. Data length and
parity are defined in the UARTLCRH register.
Lastly, a valid stop bit is confirmed if U0Rx or U1Rx is High, otherwise a framing error has
occurred. When a full word is received, the data is stored in the receive FIFO, with any error bits
associated with that word.
12.2.4
FIFO Operation
The UART has two 16-entry FIFOs; one for transmit and one for receive. Both FIFOs are accessed
via the UART Data (UARTDR) register (see page 245). Read operations of the UARTDR register
return a 12-bit value consisting of 8 data bits and 4 error flags while write operations place 8-bit
data in the transmit FIFO.
Out of reset, both FIFOs are disabled and act as 1-byte-deep holding registers. The FIFOs are
enabled by setting the FEN bit in UARTLCRH (page 253).
FIFO status can be monitored via the UART Flag (UARTFR) register (see page 249) and the
UART Receive Status (UARTRSR) register. Hardware monitors empty, full and overrun
conditions. The UARTFR register contains empty and full flags (TXFE, TXFF, RXFE and RXFF bits)
and the UARTRSR register shows overrun status via the OE bit.
The trigger points at which the FIFOs generate interrupts is controlled via the UART Interrupt
FIFO Level Select (UARTIFLS) register (see page 256). Both FIFOs can be individually
configured to trigger interrupts at different levels. Available configurations include 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4
and 7/8. For example, if the 1/4 option is selected for the receive FIFO, the UART generates a
receive interrupt after 4 data bytes are received. Out of reset, both FIFOs are configured to trigger
an interrupt at the 1/2 mark.
12.2.5
Interrupts
The UART can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
Overrun Error
Break Error
Parity Error
Framing Error

Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs)
Receive Timeout
Transmit (when condition defined in the TXIFLSEL bit in the UARTIFLS register is met)
Receive (when condition defined in the RXIFLSEL bit in the UARTIFLS register is met)
All of the interrupt events are ORed together before being sent to the interrupt controller, so the
UART can only generate a single interrupt request to the controller at any given time. Software can
service multiple interrupt events in a single interrupt service routine by reading the UART Masked
Interrupt Status (UARTMIS) register (see page 260).
The interrupt events that can trigger a controller-level interrupt are defined in the UART Interrupt
Mask (UARTIM) register (see page 257) by setting the corresponding IM bit to 1. If interrupts are
not used, the raw interrupt status is always visible via the UART Raw Interrupt Status (UARTRIS)
register (see page 259).
Interrupts are always cleared (for both the UARTMIS and UARTRIS registers) by setting the
corresponding bit in the UART Interrupt Clear (UARTICR) register (see page 261).
12.2.6
Loopback Operation
The UART can be placed into an internal loopback mode for diagnostic or debug work. This is
accomplished by setting the LBE bit in the UARTCTL register (see page 255). In loopback mode,
data transmitted on the U0Tx output is received on the U0Rx input, and data transmitted on U1Tx
is received on U1Rx.
12.3
Initialization and Configuration
To use the UARTs, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the UART0 or UART1 bits in the
RCGC1 register.
This section discusses the steps that are required for using a UART module. For this example, the
system clock is assumed to be 20 MHz and the desired UART configuration is:
115200 baud rate
Data length of 8 bits
One stop bit
No parity
FIFOs disabled
No interrupts
The first thing to consider when programming the UART is the baud-rate divisor (BRD), since the
UARTIBRD and UARTFBRD registers must be written before the UARTLCRH register. Using the
equation described in “Baud-Rate Generation” on page 240, the BRD can be calculated:
BRD = 20,000,000 / (16 * 115,200) = 10.8507
which means that the DIVINT field of the UARTIBRD register (see page 251) should be set to 10.
The value to be loaded into the UARTFBRD register (see page 252) is calculated by the equation:
UARTFBRD[DIVFRAC] = integer(0.8507 * 64 + 0.5) = 54
With the BRD values in hand, the UART configuration is written to the module in the following
order:
1. Disable the UART by clearing the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register.
2. Write the integer portion of the BRD to the UARTIBRD register.
242
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
3. Write the fractional portion of the BRD to the UARTFBRD register.
4. Write the desired serial parameters to the UARTLCRH register (in this case, a value of
0x00000060).
5. Enable the UART by setting the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register.

Register Map
Table 12-1 lists the UART registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the register’s
address, relative to that UART’s base address:
UART0: 0x4000C000
UART1: 0x4000D000
Note:
Table 12-1.
The UART must be disabled (see the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register on page 255)
before any of the control registers are reprogrammed. When the UART is disabled during
a TX or RX operation, the current transaction is completed prior to the UART stopping.

Register 1: UART Data (UARTDR), offset 0x000
This register is the data register (the interface to the FIFOs).
When FIFOs are enabled, data written to this location is pushed onto the transmit FIFO. If FIFOs
are disabled, data is stored in the transmitter holding register (the bottom word of the transmit
FIFO). A write to this register initiates a transmission from the UART.
For received data, if the FIFO is enabled, the data byte and the 4-bit status (break, frame, parity
and overrun) is pushed onto the 12-bit wide receive FIFO. If FIFOs are disabled, the data byte and
status are stored in the receiving holding register (the bottom word of the receive FIFO). The
received data can be retrieved by reading this register.

Register 2: UART Receive Status/Error Clear (UARTRSR/UARTECR), offset 0x004
The UARTRSR/UARTECR register is the receive status register/error clear register.
In addition to the UARTDR register, receive status can also be read from the UARTRSR register. If
the status is read from this register, then the status information corresponds to the entry read from
UARTDR prior to reading UARTRSR. The status information for overrun is set immediately when
an overrun condition occurs.
A write of any value to the UARTECR register clears the framing, parity, break, and overrun errors.
All the bits are cleared to 0 on reset.

Register 4: UART Integer Baud-Rate Divisor (UARTIBRD), offset 0x024
The UARTIBRD register is the integer part of the baud-rate divisor value. All the bits are cleared
on reset. The minimum possible divide ratio is 1 (when UARTIBRD=0), in which case the
UARTFBRD register is ignored. When changing the UARTIBRD register, the new value does not
take effect until transmission/reception of the current character is complete. Any changes to the
baud-rate divisor must be followed by a write to the UARTLCRH register. See “Baud-Rate
Generation” on page 240 for configuration details.

Register 8: UART Interrupt FIFO Level Select (UARTIFLS), offset 0x034
The UARTIFLS register is the interrupt FIFO level select register. You can use this register to
define the FIFO level at which the TXRIS and RXRIS bits in the UARTRIS register are triggered.
The interrupts are generated based on a transition through a level rather than being based on the
level. That is, the interrupts are generated when the fill level progresses through the trigger level.
For example, if the receive trigger level is set to the half-way mark, the interrupt is triggered as the
module is receiving the 9th character.
Out of reset, the TXIFLSEL and RXIFLSEL bits are configured so that the FIFOs trigger an
interrupt at the half-way mark.

LM3S315 Data Sheet

Functional Description
The SSI performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from a peripheral device. The
CPU accesses data, control, and status information. The transmit and receive paths are buffered
with internal FIFO memories allowing up to eight 16-bit values to be stored independently in both
transmit and receive modes.
13.2.1
Bit Rate Generation
The SSI includes a programmable bit rate clock divider and prescaler to generate the serial output
clock. Bit rates are supported to 2 MHz and higher, although maximum bit rate is determined by
peripheral devices.
The serial bit rate is derived by dividing down the 25-MHz input clock. The clock is first divided by
an even prescale value CPSDVSR from 2 to 254, which is programmed in the SSI Clock Prescale
(SSICPSR) register (see page 292). The clock is further divided by a value from 1 to 256, which is
1 + SCR, where SCR is the value programmed in the SSI Control0 (SSICR0) register (see
page 286).
The frequency of the output clock SSICLK is defined by:
FSSIClk = FSysClk / (CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR))
Note that although the SSICLK transmit clock can theoretically be 12.5 MHz, the module may not
be able to operate at that speed. For master mode, the system clock must be at least two times
faster than the SSICLK. For slave mode, the system clock must be at least 12 times faster than
the SSICLK.
See “Electrical Characteristics” on page 362 to view SSI timing parameters.
13.2.2
FIFO Operation
13.2.2.1
Transmit FIFO
The common transmit FIFO is a 16-bit wide, 8-locations deep, first-in, first-out memory buffer. The
CPU writes data to the FIFO by writing the SSI Data (SSIDR) register (see page 290), and data is
stored in the FIFO until it is read out by the transmission logic.
When configured as a master or a slave, parallel data is written into the transmit FIFO prior to
serial conversion and transmission to the attached slave or master, respectively, through the
SSITX pin.
13.2.2.2
Receive FIFO
The common receive FIFO is a 16-bit wide, 8-locations deep, first-in, first-out memory buffer.
Received data from the serial interface is stored in the buffer until read out by the CPU, which
accesses the read FIFO by reading the SSIDR register.
When configured as a master or slave, serial data received through the SSIRX pin is registered
prior to parallel loading into the attached slave or master receive FIFO, respectively.
13.2.3
Interrupts
The SSI can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
Transmit FIFO service
Receive FIFO service
Receive FIFO time-out
Receive FIFO overrun

Preliminary
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
All of the interrupt events are ORed together before being sent to the interrupt controller, so the
SSI can only generate a single interrupt request to the controller at any given time. You can mask
each of the four individual maskable interrupts by setting the appropriate bits in the SSI Interrupt
Mask (SSIIM) register (see page 293). Setting the appropriate mask bit to 1 enables the interrupt.
Provision of the individual outputs, as well as a combined interrupt output, allows use of either a
global interrupt service routine, or modular device drivers to handle interrupts. The transmit and
receive dynamic dataflow interrupts have been separated from the status interrupts so that data
can be read or written in response to the FIFO trigger levels. The status of the individual interrupt
sources can be read from the SSI Raw Interrupt Status (SSIRIS) and SSI Masked Interrupt
Status (SSIMIS) registers (see page 294 and page 295, respectively).
13.2.4
Frame Formats
Each data frame is between 4 and 16 bits long, depending on the size of data programmed, and is
transmitted starting with the MSB. There are three basic frame types that can be selected:
Texas Instruments synchronous serial
Freescale SPI
MICROWIRE
For all three formats, the serial clock (SSICLK) is held inactive while the SSI is idle, and SSICLK
transitions at the programmed frequency only during active transmission or reception of data. The
idle state of SSICLK is utilized to provide a receive timeout indication that occurs when the receive
FIFO still contains data after a timeout period.
For Freescale SPI and MICROWIRE frame formats, the serial frame (SSIFSS) pin is active Low,
and is asserted (pulled down) during the entire transmission of the frame.
For Texas Instruments synchronous serial frame format, the SSIFSS pin is pulsed for one serial
clock period starting at its rising edge, prior to the transmission of each frame. For this frame
format, both the SSI and the off-chip slave device drive their output data on the rising edge of
SSICLK, and latch data from the other device on the falling edge.
Unlike the full-duplex transmission of the other two frame formats, the MICROWIRE format uses a
special master-slave messaging technique, which operates at half-duplex. In this mode, when a
frame begins, an 8-bit control message is transmitted to the off-chip slave. During this transmit, no
incoming data is received by the SSI. After the message has been sent, the off-chip slave decodes
it and, after waiting one serial clock after the last bit of the 8-bit control message has been sent,
responds with the requested data. The returned data can be 4 to 16 bits in length, making the total
frame length anywhere from 13 to 25 bits.

In this mode, SSICLK and SSIFSS are forced Low, and the transmit data line SSITX is tristated
whenever the SSI is idle. Once the bottom entry of the transmit FIFO contains data, SSIFSS is
pulsed High for one SSICLK period. The value to be transmitted is also transferred from the
transmit FIFO to the serial shift register of the transmit logic. On the next rising edge of SSICLK,
the MSB of the 4 to 16-bit data frame is shifted out on the SSITX pin. Likewise, the MSB of the
received data is shifted onto the SSIRX pin by the off-chip serial slave device.
Both the SSI and the off-chip serial slave device then clock each data bit into their serial shifter on
the falling edge of each SSICLK. The received data is transferred from the serial shifter to the
receive FIFO on the first rising edge of SSICLK after the LSB has been latched.

frames are transmitted.

13.2.4.2
Freescale SPI Frame Format
The Freescale SPI interface is a four-wire interface where the SSIFSS signal behaves as a slave
select. The main feature of the Freescale SPI format is that the inactive state and phase of the
SSICLK signal are programmable through the SPO and SPH bits within the SSISCR0 control
register.
SPO Clock Polarity Bit
When the SPO clock polarity control bit is Low, it produces a steady state Low value on the
SSICLK pin. If the SPO bit is High, a steady state High value is placed on the SSICLK pin when
data is not being transferred.
SPH Phase Control Bit
The SPH phase control bit selects the clock edge that captures data and allows it to change state.
It has the most impact on the first bit transmitted by either allowing or not allowing a clock
transition before the first data capture edge. When the SPH phase control bit is Low, data is
captured on the first clock edge transition. If the SPH bit is High, data is captured on the second
clock edge transition.

In this configuration, during idle periods:
SSICLK is forced Low
SSIFSS is forced High
The transmit data line SSITX is arbitrarily forced Low
When the SSI is configured as a master, it enables the SSICLK pad
When the SSI is configured as a slave, it disables the SSICLK pad
If the SSI is enabled and there is valid data within the transmit FIFO, the start of transmission is
signified by the SSIFSS master signal being driven Low. This causes slave data to be enabled
onto the SSIRX input line of the master. The master SSITX output pad is enabled.
One half SSICLK period later, valid master data is transferred to the SSITX pin. Now that both the
master and slave data have been set, the SSICLK master clock pin goes High after one further
half SSICLK period.
The data is now captured on the rising and propagated on the falling edges of the SSICLK signal.
In the case of a single word transmission, after all bits of the data word have been transferred, the
SSIFSS line is returned to its idle High state one SSICLK period after the last bit has been
captured.
However, in the case of continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSIFSS signal must be
pulsed High between each data word transfer. This is because the slave select pin freezes the
data in its serial peripheral register and does not allow it to be altered if the SPH bit is logic zero.
Therefore, the master device must raise the SSIFSS pin of the slave device between each data
transfer to enable the serial peripheral data write. On completion of the continuous transfer, the
SSIFSS pin is returned to its idle state one SSICLK period after the last bit has been captured.

Data is then captured on the falling edges and propagated on the rising edges of the SSICLK
signal.
In the case of a single word transfer, after all bits have been transferred, the SSIFSS line is
returned to its idle High state one SSICLK period after the last bit has been captured.

output data
MICROWIRE format is very similar to SPI format, except that transmission is half-duplex instead
of full-duplex, using a master-slave message passing technique. Each serial transmission begins
with an 8-bit control word that is transmitted from the SSI to the off-chip slave device. During this
transmission, no incoming data is received by the SSI. After the message has been sent, the
off-chip slave decodes it and, after waiting one serial clock after the last bit of the 8-bit control
message has been sent, responds with the required data. The returned data is 4 to 16 bits in
length, making the total frame length anywhere from 13 to 25 bits.
In this configuration, during idle periods:
SSICLK is forced Low
SSIFSS is forced High
The transmit data line SSITX is arbitrarily forced Low
April 27, 2007
281
Preliminary
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
A transmission is triggered by writing a control byte to the transmit FIFO. The falling edge of
SSIFSS causes the value contained in the bottom entry of the transmit FIFO to be transferred to
the serial shift register of the transmit logic, and the MSB of the 8-bit control frame to be shifted out
onto the SSITX pin. SSIFSS remains Low for the duration of the frame transmission. The SSIRX
pin remains tristated during this transmission.
The off-chip serial slave device latches each control bit into its serial shifter on the rising edge of
each SSICLK. After the last bit is latched by the slave device, the control byte is decoded during a
one clock wait-state, and the slave responds by transmitting data back to the SSI. Each bit is
driven onto the SSIRX line on the falling edge of SSICLK. The SSI in turn latches each bit on the
rising edge of SSICLK. At the end of the frame, for single transfers, the SSIFSS signal is pulled
High one clock period after the last bit has been latched in the receive serial shifter, which causes
the data to be transferred to the receive FIFO.
Note:
The off-chip slave device can tristate the receive line either on the falling edge of SSICLK
after the LSB has been latched by the receive shifter, or when the SSIFSS pin goes High.
For continuous transfers, data transmission begins and ends in the same manner as a single
transfer. However, the SSIFSS line is continuously asserted (held Low) and transmission of data
occurs back-to-back. The control byte of the next frame follows directly after the LSB of the
received data from the current frame. Each of the received values is transferred from the receive
shifter on the falling edge of SSICLK, after the LSB of the frame has been latched into the SSI.

In the MICROWIRE mode, the SSI slave samples the first bit of receive data on the rising edge of
SSICLK after SSIFSS has gone Low. Masters that drive a free-running SSICLK must ensure that
the SSIFSS signal has sufficient setup and hold margins with respect to the rising edge of
SSICLK.
Figure 13-12 illustrates these setup and hold time requirements. With respect to the SSICLK rising
edge on which the first bit of receive data is to be sampled by the SSI slave, SSIFSS must have a
setup of at least two times the period of SSICLK on which the SSI operates. With respect to the
SSICLK rising edge previous to this edge, SSIFSS must have a hold of at least one SSICLK
period.

Initialization and Configuration
To use the SSI, its peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the SSI bit in the RCGC1 register.
For each of the frame formats, the SSI is configured using the following steps:
1. Ensure that the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register is disabled before making any configuration
changes.
2. Select whether the SSI is a master or slave:
a. For master operations, set the SSICR1 register to 0x00000000.
b. For slave mode (output enabled), set the SSICR1 register to 0x00000004.
c. For slave mode (output disabled), set the SSICR1 register to 0x0000000C.
3. Configure the clock prescale divisor by writing the SSICPSR register.
4. Write the SSICR0 register with the following configuration:
– Serial clock rate (SCR)
– Desired clock phase/polarity, if using Freescale SPI mode (SPH and SPO)
– The protocol mode: Freescale SPI, TI SSF, MICROWIRE (FRF)
– The data size (DSS)
5. Enable the SSI by setting the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register.
As an example, assume the SSI must be configured to operate with the following parameters:
Master operation
Freescale SPI mode (SPO=1, SPH=1)
1 Mbps bit rate
8 data bits
Assuming the system clock is 20 MHz, the bit rate calculation would be:
FSSIClk = FSysClk / (CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR)) ' 1x106 = 20x106 / (CPSDVSR * (1 +
SCR))
In this case, if CPSDVSR=2, SCR must be 9.
The configuration sequence would be as follows:
1. Ensure that the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register is disabled.
2. Write the SSICR1 register with a value of 0x00000000.
April 27, 2007

Preliminary
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
3. Write the SSICPSR register with a value of 0x00000002.
4. Write the SSICR0 register with a value of 0x000009C7.
5. The SSI is then enabled by setting the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register to 1.

This bit is only applicable to the Freescale SPI Format.
The SPH control bit selects the clock edge that captures data
and allows it to change state. It has the most impact on the first
bit transmitted by either allowing or not allowing a clock
transition before the first data capture edge.
When the SPH bit is 0, data is captured on the first clock edge
transition. If SPH is 1, data is captured on the second clock edge
transition.

SSI Slave Mode Output Disable
This bit is relevant only in the Slave mode (MS=1). In
multiple-slave systems, it is possible for the SSI master to
broadcast a message to all slaves in the system while
ensuring that only one slave drives data onto the serial output
line. In such systems, the TXD lines from multiple slaves
could be tied together. To operate in such a system, the SOD
bit can be configured so that the SSI slave does not drive the
SSITX pin.

Register 3: SSI Data (SSIDR), offset 0x008
SSIDR is the data register and is 16-bits wide. When SSIDR is read, the entry in the receive FIFO
(pointed to by the current FIFO read pointer) is accessed. As data values are removed by the SSI
receive logic from the incoming data frame, they are placed into the entry in the receive FIFO
(pointed to by the current FIFO write pointer).
When SSIDR is written to, the entry in the transmit FIFO (pointed to by the write pointer) is written
to. Data values are removed from the transmit FIFO one value at a time by the transmit logic. It is
loaded into the transmit serial shifter, then serially shifted out onto the SSITx pin at the
programmed bit rate.
When a data size of less than 16 bits is selected, the user must right-justify data written to the
transmit FIFO. The transmit logic ignores the unused bits. Received data less than 16 bits is
automatically right-justified in the receive buffer.
When the SSI is programmed for MICROWIRE frame format, the default size for transmit data is
eight bits (the most significant byte is ignored). The receive data size is controlled by the
programmer. The transmit FIFO and the receive FIFO are not cleared even when the SSE bit in the
SSICR1 register is set to zero. This allows the software to fill the transmit FIFO before enabling the
SSI.

SSI Receive/Transmit Data
A read operation reads the receive FIFO. A write operation
writes the transmit FIFO.
Software must right-justify data when the SSI is programmed
for a data size that is less than 16 bits. Unused bits at the top
are ignored by the transmit logic. The receive logic
automatically right-justifies the data.

SSICPSR is the clock prescale register and specifies the division factor by which the system clock
must be internally divided before further use.
The value programmed into this register must be an even number between 2 and 254. The
least-significant bit of the programmed number is hard-coded to zero. If an odd number is written
to this register, data read back from this register has the least-significant bit as zero.

Register 6: SSI Interrupt Mask (SSIIM), offset 0x014
The SSIIM register is the interrupt mask set or clear register. It is a read/write register and all bits
are cleared to 0 on reset.
On a read, this register gives the current value of the mask on the relevant interrupt. A write of 1 to
the particular bit sets the mask, enabling the interrupt to be read. A write of 0 clears the
corresponding mask.

Analog Comparator
An analog comparator is a peripheral that compares two analog voltages, and provides a logical
output that signals the comparison result.
The LM3S315 controller provides one analog comparator that can be configured to drive an output
or generate an interrupt or ADC event.
A comparator can compare a test voltage against any one of these voltages:
An individual external reference voltage
A shared single external reference voltage
A shared internal reference voltage
The comparator can provide its output to a device pin, acting as a replacement for an analog
comparator on the board, or it can be used to signal the application via interrupts or triggers to the
ADC to cause it to start capturing a sample sequence. The interrupt generation and ADC triggering
logic is separate. This means, for example, that an interrupt can be generated on a rising edge and
the ADC triggered on a falling edge.

Functional Description
Important: It is recommended that the Digital-Input enable (the GPIODEN bit in the GPIO
module) for the analog input pin be disabled to prevent excessive current draw from
the I/O pads.
The comparator compares the VIN- and VIN+ inputs to produce an output, VOUT.
As shown in Figure 14-2, the input source for VIN- is an external input. In addition to an external
input, input sources for VIN+ can be the +ve input of comparator 0 or an internal reference.

A comparator is configured through two status/control registers (ACCTL and ACSTAT). The
internal reference is configured through one control register (ACREFCTL). Interrupt status and
control is configured through three registers (ACMIS, ACRIS, and ACINTEN). The operating
modes of the comparators are shown in Table 14-1.
Typically, the comparator output is used internally to generate controller interrupts. It may also be
used to drive an external pin or generate an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) trigger.
Important: Certain register bit values must be set before using the analog comparators. The
proper pad configuration for the comparator input and output pins are described in
Table 8-1 on page 120.

Internal Reference Programming
The structure of the internal reference is shown in Figure 14-3. This is controlled by a single
configuration register (ACREFCTL). Table 14-2 shows the programming options to develop
specific internal reference values, to compare an external voltage against a particular voltage
generated internally.

Initialization and Configuration
The following example shows how to configure analog comparator to read back its output value
from an internal register.
1. Enable the analog comparator 0 clock by writing a value of 0x00100000 to the RCGC1 register
in the System Control module.
2. In the GPIO module, enable the GPIO port/pin associated with C0- as a GPIO input.
3. Configure the internal voltage reference to 1.65 V by writing the ACREFCTL register with the
value 0x0000030C.
4. Configure comparator 0 to use the internal voltage reference and to not invert the output on
the C0O pin by writing the ACCTL0 register with the value of 0x0000040C.

6. Read the comparator output value by reading the ACSTAT0 register’s OVAL value.
Change the level of the signal input on C0- to see the OVAL value change.

Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
15
Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique for digitally encoding analog signal levels.
High-resolution counters are used to generate a square wave, and the duty cycle of the square
wave is modulated to encode an analog signal. Typical applications include switching power
supplies and motor control.
The LM3S315 PWM module consists of one PWM generator block and a control block. The PWM
generator block contains one timer (16-bit down or up/down counter), two comparators, a PWM
signal generator, a dead-band generator, and an interrupt/ADC-trigger selector. The control block
determines the polarity of the PWM signals, and which signals are passed through to the pins.
The PWM generator block produces two PWM signals that can either be independent signals
(other than being based on the same timer and therefore having the same frequency) or a single
pair of complementary signals with dead-band delays inserted. The output of the PWM generation
block is managed by the output control block before being passed to the device pins.
The LM3S315 PWM module provides a great deal of flexibility. It can generate simple PWM
signals, such as those required by a simple charge pump. It can also generate paired PWM
signals with dead-band delays, such as those required by a half-H bridge driver.

Figure 15-1 provides a block diagram of a Stellaris PWM module. The LM3S315 controller

Functional Description
15.2.1
PWM Timer
The timer runs in one of two modes: Count-Down mode or Count-Up/Down mode. In Count-Down
mode, the timer counts from the load value to zero, goes back to the load value, and continues
counting down. In Count-Up/Down mode, the timer counts from zero up to the load value, back
down to zero, back up to the load value, and so on. Generally, Count-Down mode is used for
generating left- or right-aligned PWM signals, while the Count-Up/Down mode is used for
generating center-aligned PWM signals.
320
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
The timers output three signals that are used in the PWM generation process: the direction signal
(this is always Low in Count-Down mode, but alternates between Low and High in Count-Up/Down
mode), a single-clock-cycle-width High pulse when the counter is zero, and a
single-clock-cycle-width High pulse when the counter is equal to the load value. Note that in
Count-Down mode, the zero pulse is immediately followed by the load pulse.
15.2.2
PWM Comparators
There are two comparators in the PWM generator that monitor the value of the counter; when
either match the counter, they output a single-clock-cycle-width High pulse. When in Count-Up/
Down mode, these comparators match both when counting up and when counting down; they are
therefore qualified by the counter direction signal. These qualified pulses are used in the PWM
generation process. If either comparator match value is greater than the counter load value, then
that comparator never outputs a High pulse.
Figure 15-2 shows the behavior of the counter and the relationship of these pulses when the
counter is in Count-Down mode. Figure 15-3 shows the behavior of the counter and the
relationship of these pulses when the counter is in Count-Up/Down mode.

PWM Signal Generator
The PWM generator takes these pulses (qualified by the direction signal), and generates two
PWM signals. In Count-Down mode, there are four events that can affect the PWM signal: zero,
load, match A down, and match B down. In Count-Up/Down mode, there are six events that can
affect the PWM signal: zero, load, match A down, match A up, match B down, and match B up.
The match A or match B events are ignored when they coincide with the zero or load events. If the
match A and match B events coincide, the first signal, PWMA, is generated based only on the match
A event, and the second signal, PWMB, is generated based only on the match B event.
For each event, the effect on each output PWM signal is programmable: it can be left alone
(ignoring the event), it can be toggled, it can be driven Low, or it can be driven High. These actions
can be used to generate a pair of PWM signals of various positions and duty cycles, which do or
do not overlap. Figure 15-4 shows the use of Count-Up/Down mode to generate a pair of
center-aligned, overlapped PWM signals that have different duty cycles.

In this example, the first generator is set to drive High on match A up, drive Low on match A down,
and ignore the other four events. The second generator is set to drive High on match B up, drive
Low on match B down, and ignore the other four events. Changing the value of comparator A
changes the duty cycle of the PWMA signal, and changing the value of comparator B changes the
duty cycle of the PWMB signal.

15.2.4
Dead-Band Generator
The two PWM signals produced by the PWM generator are passed to the dead-band generator. If
disabled, the PWM signals simply pass through unmodified. If enabled, the second PWM signal is
lost and two PWM signals are generated based on the first PWM signal. The first output PWM
signal is the input signal with the rising edge delayed by a programmable amount. The second
output PWM signal is the inversion of the input signal with a programmable delay added between
the falling edge of the input signal and the rising edge of this new signal.
This is therefore a pair of active High signals where one is always High, except for a
programmable amount of time at transitions where both are Low. These signals are therefore
suitable for driving a half-H bridge, with the dead-band delays preventing shoot-through current
from damaging the power electronics. Figure 15-5 shows the effect of the dead-band generator on
an input PWM signal.

Interrupt/ADC-Trigger Selector
The PWM generator also takes the same four (or six) counter events and uses them to generate
an interrupt or an ADC trigger. Any of these events or a set of these events can be selected as a
source for an interrupt; when any of the selected events occur, an interrupt is generated.
Additionally, the same event, a different event, the same set of events, or a different set of events
can be selected as a source for an ADC trigger; when any of these selected events occur, an ADC
trigger pulse is generated. The selection of events allows the interrupt or ADC trigger to occur at a
specific position within the PWM signal. Note that interrupts and ADC triggers are based on the
raw events; delays in the PWM signal edges caused by the dead-band generator are not taken
into account.
15.2.6
Synchronization Methods
There is a global reset capability that can synchronously reset any or all of the counters in the
PWM generator.
The counter load values and comparator match values of the PWM generator can be updated in
two ways. The first is immediate update mode, where a new value is used as soon as the counter
reaches zero. By waiting for the counter to reach zero, a guaranteed behavior is defined, and
overly short or overly long output PWM pulses are prevented.
The other update method is synchronous, where the new value is not used until a global
synchronized update signal is asserted, at which point the new value is used as soon as the
counter reaches zero. This second mode allows multiple items to be updated simultaneously
without odd effects during the update; everything runs from the old values until a point at which
they all run from the new values.
15.2.7
Fault Conditions
There are two external conditions that affect the PWM block; the signal input on the Fault pin and
the stalling of the controller by a debugger. There are two mechanisms available to handle such
conditions: the output signals can be forced into an inactive state and/or the PWM timers can be
stopped.
April 27, 2007
323
Preliminary
Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
Each output signal has a fault bit. If set, a fault input signal causes the corresponding output signal
to go into the inactive state. If the inactive state is a safe condition for the signal to be in for an
extended period of time, this keeps the output signal from driving the outside world in a dangerous
manner during the fault condition. A fault condition can also generate a controller interrupt.
Each PWM generator can also be configured to stop counting during a stall condition. The user
can select for the counters to run until they reach zero then stop, or to continue counting and
reloading. A stall condition does not generate a controller interrupt.
15.2.8
Output Control Block
With the PWM generator block producing two raw PWM signals, the output control block takes
care of the final conditioning of the PWM signals before they go to the pins. Via a single register,
the set of PWM signals that are actually enabled to the pins can be modified; this can be used, for
example, to perform commutation of a brushless DC motor with a single register write (and without
modifying the individual PWM generators, which are modified by the feedback control loop).
Similarly, fault control can disable any of the PWM signals as well. A final inversion can be applied
to any of the PWM signals, making them active Low instead of the default active High.
15.3
Initialization and Configuration
The following example shows how to initialize the PWM Generator 0 with a 25-KHz frequency, and
with a 25% duty cycle on the PWM0 pin and a 75% duty cycle on the PWM1 pin. This example
assumes the system clock is 20 MHz.
1. Enable the PWM clock by writing a value of 0x00100000 to the RCGC0 register in the System
Control module.
2. In the GPIO module, enable the appropriate pins for their alternate function using the
GPIOAFSEL register.
3. Configure the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register in the System Control module
to use the PWM divide (USEPWMDIV) and set the divider (PWMDIV) to divide by 2 (000).
4. Configure the PWM generator for countdown mode with immediate updates to the
parameters.
– Write the PWM0CTL register with a value of 0x00000000.
– Write the PWM0GENA register with a value of 0x0000008C.
– Write the PWM0GENB register with a value of 0x0000080C.
5. Set the period. For a 25-KHz frequency, the period = 1/25,000, or 40 microseconds. The PWM
clock source is 10 MHz; the system clock divided by 2. This translates to 400 clock ticks per
period. Use this value to set the PWM0LOAD register. In Count-Down mode, set the LOAD
field in the PWM0LOAD register to the requested period minus one.
– Write the PWM0LOAD register with a value of 0x0000018F.
6. Set the pulse width of the PWM0 pin for a 25% duty cycle.
– Write the PWM0CMPA register with a value of 0x0000012B.
7. Set the pulse width of the PWM1 pin for a 75% duty cycle.
– Write the PWM0CMPB register with a value of 0x00000063.
8. Start the timers in PWM generator 0.
– Write the PWM0CTL register with a value of 0x00000001.
9. Enable PWM outputs.

Register 2: PWM Time Base Sync (PWMSYNC), offset 0x004
This register provides a method to perform synchronization of the counters in the PWM generation
blocks. Writing a bit in this register to 1 causes the specified counter to reset back to 0; writing
multiple bits resets multiple counters simultaneously. The bits auto-clear after the reset has
occurred; reading them back as zero indicates that the synchronization has completed.

Register 3: PWM Output Enable (PWMENABLE), offset 0x008
This register provides a master control of which generated PWM signals are output to device pins.
By disabling a PWM output, the generation process can continue (for example when the time
bases are synchronized) without driving PWM signals to the pins. When bits in this register are
set, the corresponding PWM signal is passed through to the output stage, which is controlled by
the PWMINVERT register. When bits are not set, the PWM signal is replaced by a zero value
which is also passed to the output stage.

Register 4: PWM Output Inversion (PWMINVERT), offset 0x00C
This register provides a master control of the polarity of the PWM signals on the device pins. The
PWM signals generated by the dead-band block are active High; they can optionally be made
active Low via this register. Disabled PWM channels are also passed through the output inverter (if
so configured) so that inactive channels maintain the correct polarity.

Register 5: PWM Output Fault (PWMFAULT), offset 0x010
This register controls the behavior of the PWM outputs in the presence of fault conditions. Both the
fault input and debug events are considered fault conditions. On a fault condition, each PWM
signal can either be passed through unmodified or driven Low. For outputs that are configured for
pass-through, the debug event handling on the corresponding PWM generator also determines if
the PWM signal continues to be generated.
Fault condition control happens before the output inverter, so PWM signals driven Low on fault are
inverted if the channel is configured for inversion (therefore, the pin is driven High on a fault
condition).

Register 7: PWM Raw Interrupt Status (PWMRIS), offset 0x018
This register provides the current set of interrupt sources that are asserted, regardless of whether
they cause an interrupt to be asserted to the controller. The fault interrupt is latched on detection; it
must be cleared through the PWM Interrupt Status and Clear (PWMISC) register (see
page 334). The PWM generator interrupts simply reflect the status of the PWM generator; they are
cleared via the interrupt status register in the PWM generator block. Bits set to 1 indicate the
events that are active; a zero bit indicates that the event in question is not active.

Register 8: PWM Interrupt Status and Clear (PWMISC), offset 0x01C
This register provides a summary of the interrupt status of the PWM generator block. A bit set to 1
indicates that the generator block is asserting an interrupt. The individual interrupt status registers
must be consulted to determine the reason for the interrupt, and used to clear the interrupt. For the
fault interrupt, a write of 1 to that bit position clears the latched interrupt status.

Register 11: PWM0 Interrupt/Trigger Enable (PWM0INTEN), offset 0x044
This register controls the interruptThese registers control the interrupt and ADC trigger generation
capabilities of the PWM generator. The events that can cause an interrupt or an ADC trigger are:
The counter being equal to the load register
The counter being equal to zero
The counter being equal to the comparator A register while counting up
The counter being equal to the comparator A register while counting down
The counter being equal to the comparator B register while counting up
The counter being equal to the comparator B register while counting down
Any combination of these events can generate either an interrupt or an ADC trigger, though no
determination can be made as to the actual event that caused an ADC trigger.

This register contains the load value for the PWM counter. Based on the counter mode, either this
value is loaded into the counter after it reaches zero, or it is the limit of up-counting after which the
counter decrements back to zero. If the Load Value Update mode is immediate, this value is used
the next time the counter reaches zero; if the mode is synchronous, it is used the next time the
counter reaches zero after a synchronous update has been requested through the PWM Master
Control (PWMCTL) register (see page 327). If this register is re-written before the actual update
occurs, the previous value is never used and is lost.

This register controls the generation of the PWMNA signal based on the load and zero output pulses
from the counter, as well as the compare A and compare B pulses from the comparators. When
the counter is running in Count-Down mode, only four of these events occur; when running in
Count-Up/Down mode, all six occur. These events provide great flexibility in the positioning and
duty cycle of the PWM signal that is produced.
The PWM0GENA register controls generation of the PWM0A signal.
Each field can take on one of the values defined in Table 15-2, which defines the effect of the
event on the output signal.
If a zero or load event coincides with a compare A or compare B event, the zero or load action is
taken and the compare A or compare B action is ignored. If a compare A event coincides with a
compare B event, the compare A action is taken and the compare B action is ignored.

The PWM0DBCTL register controls the dead-band generator, which produces the PWM0 and PWM1
signals based on the PWM0A and PWM0B signals. When disabled, the PWM0A signal passes through
to the PWM0 signal and the PWM0B signal passes through to the PWM1 signal. When enabled, the
PWM0B signal is ignored; the PWM0 signal is generated by delaying the rising edge(s) of the PWM0A
signal by the value in the PWM0DBRISE register (see page 349), and the PWM1 signal is
generated by delaying the falling edge(s) of the PWM0A signal by the value in the PWM0DBFALL
register (see page 350).

The PWM0DBRISE register contains the number of clock ticks to delay the rising edge of the
PWM0A signal when generating the PWM0 signal. If the dead-band generator is disabled through the
PWMnDBCTL register, the PWM0DBRISE register is ignored. If the value of this register is larger
than the width of a High pulse on the input PWM signal, the rising-edge delay consumes the entire
High time of the signal, resulting in no High time on the output. Care must be taken to ensure that
the input High time always exceeds the rising-edge delay.

Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
Register 22: PWM0 Dead-Band Falling-Edge-Delay (PWM0DBFALL), offset 0x070
The PWM0DBFALL register contains the number of clock ticks to delay the falling edge of the
PWM0A signal when generating the PWM1 signal. If the dead-band generator is disabled, this
register is ignored. If the value of this register is larger than the width of a Low pulse on the input
PWM signal, the falling-edge delay consumes the entire Low time of the signal, resulting in no Low
time on the output. Care must be taken to ensure that the input Low time always exceeds the
falling-edge delay.

Signal Tables
The following tables list the signals available for each pin. Functionality is enabled by software with
the GPIOAFSEL register (see page 132).
Important: All multiplexed pins are GPIOs by default, with the exception of the five JTAG pins
(PB7 and PC[3:0]) which default to the JTAG functionality.
Table 17-1 shows the pin-to-signal-name mapping, including functional characteristics of the
signals. Table 17-2 lists the signals in alphabetical order by signal name. Table 17-3 groups the
signals by functionality, except for GPIOs. Table 17-4 lists the GPIO pins and their alternate
functionality.

Important: This device contains circuitry to protect the inputs against damage due to high-static
voltages or electric fields; however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to
avoid application of any voltage higher than maximum-rated voltages to this
high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused inputs are
connected to an appropriate logic voltage level (for example, either GND or VDD).

Appendix A. Serial Flash Loader
The Stellaris serial flash loader is used to download code to the flash memory of a device without
the use of a debug interface. The serial flash loader uses a simple packet interface to provide
synchronous communication with the device. The flash loader runs off the crystal and does not
enable the PLL, so its speed is determined by the crystal used. The two serial interfaces that can
be used are the UART0 and SSI interfaces. For simplicity, both the data format and
communication protocol are identical for both serial interfaces.
21.1
Interfaces
Once communication with the flash loader is established via one of the serial interfaces, that
interface is used until the flash loader is reset or new code takes over. For example, once you start
communicating using the SSI port, communications with the flash loader via the UART are
disabled until the device is reset.
21.1.1
UART
The Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UART) communication uses a fixed serial
format of 8 bits of data, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The baud rate used for communication is
automatically detected by the flash loader and can be any valid baud rate supported by the host
and the device. The auto detection sequence requires that the baud rate should be no more than
1/32 the crystal frequency of the board that is running the serial flash loader. This is actually the
same as the hardware limitation for the maximum baud rate for any UART on a Stellaris device.
In order to determine the baud rate, the serial flash loader needs to determine the relationship
between its own crystal frequency and the baud rate. This is enough information for the flash
loader to configure its UART to the same baud rate as the host. This automatic baud rate detection
allows the host to use any valid baud rate that it wants to communicate with the device.
The method used to perform this automatic synchronization relies on the host sending the flash
loader two bytes that are both 0x55. This generates a series of pulses to the flash loader that it can
use to calculate the ratios needed to program the UART to match the host’s baud rate. After the
host sends the pattern, it attempts to read back one byte of data from the UART. The flash loader
returns the value of 0xCC to indicate successful detection of the baud rate. If this byte is not
received after at least twice the time required to transfer the two bytes, the host can resend
another pattern of 0x55, 0x55, and wait for the 0xCC byte again until the flash loader
acknowledges that it has received a synchronization pattern correctly. For example, the time to
wait for data back from the flash loader should be calculated as at least 2*(20(bits/sync)/baud rate
(bits/sec)). For a baud rate of 115200, this time is 2*(20/115200) or 0.35ms.
21.1.2
SSI
The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) port also uses a fixed serial format for communications,
with the framing defined as Motorola format with SPH set to 1 and SPO set to 1. See the section
on SSI formats for more details on this transfer protocol. Like the UART, this interface has
hardware requirements that limit the maximum speed that the SSI clock can run. This allows the
SSI clock to be at most 1/12 the crystal frequency of the board running the flash loader. Since the
host device is the master, the SSI on the flash loader device does not need to determine the clock
as it is provided directly by the host.
21.2
Packet Handling
All communications, with the exception of the UART auto-baud, are done via defined packets that
are acknowledged (ACK) or not acknowledged (NAK) by the devices. The packets use the same
376
April 27, 2007
Preliminary
LM3S315 Data Sheet
format for receiving and sending packets, including the method used to acknowledge successful or
unsuccessful reception of a packet.
21.2.1
Packet Format
All packets sent and received from the device use the following byte-packed format.
struct
{
unsigned char ucSize;
unsigned char ucCheckSum;
unsigned char Data[];
};
ucSize – The first byte received holds the total size of the transfer including the size and checksum
bytes.
ucChecksum – This holds a simple checksum of the bytes in the data buffer only. The algorithm is
Data[0]+Data[1]+…+ Data[ucSize-3].
Data – This is the raw data intended for the device, which is formatted in some form of command
interface. There should be ucSize – 2 bytes of data provided in this buffer to or from the device.
21.2.2
Sending Packets
The actual bytes of the packet can be sent individually or all at once, the only limitation is that
commands that cause flash memory access should limit the download sizes to prevent losing
bytes during flash programming. This limitation is discussed further in the commands that interact
with the flash.
Once the packet has been formatted correctly by the host, it should be sent out over the UART or
SSI interface. Then the host should poll the UART or SSI interface for the first non-zero data
returned from the device. The first non-zero byte will either be an ACK (0xCC) or a NAK (0x33)
byte from the device indicating the packet was received successfully (ACK) or unsuccessfully
(NAK). This does not indicate that the actual contents of the command issued in the data portion of
the packet were valid, just that the packet was received correctly.
21.2.3
Receiving Packets
The flash loader sends a packet of data in the same format that it receives a packet. The flash
loader may transfer leading zero data before the first actual byte of data is sent out. The first
non-zero byte is the size of the packet followed by a checksum byte, and finally followed by the
data itself. There is no break in the data after the first non-zero byte is sent from the flash loader.
Once the device communicating with the flash loader receives all the bytes, it must either ACK or
NAK the packet to indicate that the transmission was successful. The appropriate response after
sending a NAK to the flash loader is to resend the command that failed and request the data
again. If needed, the host may send leading zeros before sending down the ACK/NAK signal to
the flash loader, as the flash loader only accepts the first non-zero data as a valid response. This
zero padding is needed by the SSI interface in order to receive data to or from the flash loader.
21.3
Commands
The next section defines the list of commands that can be sent to the flash loader. The first byte of
the data should always be one of the defined commands, followed by data or parameters as
determined by the command that is sent.

Preliminary
21.3.1
COMMAND_PING (0x20)
This command simply accepts the command and sets the global status to success. The format of
the packet is as follows:
Byte[0] = 0x03;
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2]);
Byte[2] = COMMAND_PING;
The ping command has 3 bytes and the value for COMMAND_PING is 0x20 and the checksum of
one byte is that same byte, making Byte[1] also 0x20. Since the ping command has no real return
status, the receipt of an ACK can be interpreted as a successful ping to the flash loader.
21.3.2
COMMAND_GET_STATUS (0x23)
This command returns the status of the last command that was issued. Typically, this command
should be sent after every command to ensure that the previous command was successful or to
properly respond to a failure. The command requires one byte in the data of the packet and should
be followed by reading a packet with one byte of data that contains a status code. The last step is
to ACK or NAK the received data so the flash loader knows that the data has been read.
Byte[0] = 0x03
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_GET_STATUS
21.3.3
COMMAND_DOWNLOAD (0x21)
This command is sent to the flash loader to indicate where to store data and how many bytes will
be sent by the COMMAND_SEND_DATA commands that follow. The command consists of two
32-bit values that are both transferred MSB first. The first 32-bit value is the address to start
programming data into, while the second is the 32-bit size of the data that will be sent. This
command also triggers an erase of the full area to be programmed so this command takes longer
than other commands. This results in a longer time to receive the ACK/NAK back from the board.
This command should be followed by a COMMAND_GET_STATUS to ensure that the Program
Address and Program size are valid for the device running the flash loader.
The format of the packet to send this command is a follows:
Byte[0] = 11
Byte[1] = checksum(Bytes[2:10])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_DOWNLOAD
Byte[3] = Program Address [31:24]
Byte[4] = Program Address [23:16]
Byte[5] = Program Address [15:8]
Byte[6] = Program Address [7:0]
Byte[7] = Program Size [31:24]
Byte[8] = Program Size [23:16]
Byte[9] = Program Size [15:8]
Byte[10] = Program Size [7:0]
21.3.4
COMMAND_SEND_DATA (0x24)
This command should only follow a COMMAND_DOWNLOAD command or another
COMMAND_SEND_DATA command if more data is needed. Consecutive send data commands

automatically increment address and continue programming from the previous location. The caller
should limit transfers of data to a maximum 8 bytes of packet data to allow the flash to program
successfully and not overflow input buffers of the serial interfaces. The command terminates
programming once the number of bytes indicated by the COMMAND_DOWNLOAD command has
been received. Each time this function is called it should be followed by a
COMMAND_GET_STATUS to ensure that the data was successfully programmed into the flash. If
the flash loader sends a NAK to this command, the flash loader does not increment the current
address to allow retransmission of the previous data.
Byte[0] = 11
Byte[1] = checksum(Bytes[2:10])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_SEND_DATA
Byte[3] = Data[0]
Byte[4] = Data[1]
Byte[5] = Data[2]
Byte[6] = Data[3]
Byte[7] = Data[4]
Byte[8] = Data[5]
Byte[9] = Data[6]
Byte[10] = Data[7]
21.3.5
COMMAND_RUN (0x22)
This command is used to tell the flash loader to execute from the address passed as the
parameter in this command. This command consists of a single 32-bit value that is interpreted as
the address to execute. The 32-bit value is transmitted MSB first and the flash loader responds
with an ACK signal back to the host device before actually executing the code at the given
address. This allows the host to know that the command was received successfully and the code
is now running.

COMMAND_RESET (0x25)
This command is used to tell the flash loader device to reset. This is useful when downloading a
new image that overwrote the flash loader and wants to start from a full reset. Unlike the
COMMAND_RUN command, this allows the initial stack pointer to be read by the hardware and
set up for the new code. It can also be used to reset the flash loader if a critical error occurs and
the host device wants to restart communication with the flash loader.
Byte[0] = 3
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_RESET

Preliminary
The flash loader responds with an ACK signal back to the host device before actually executing
the software reset to the device running the flash loader. This allows the host to know that the
command was received successfully and the part will be reset.
