■
As noted in the PCN, three of the nine Ethernet LED configuration options are no longer supported:
TX Activity (0x2), RX Activity (0x3), and Collision (0x4). These values for the LED0 and LED1 bit
fields in the MR23 register are now marked as reserved.
■
As noted in the PCN, the option to provide VDD25 power from external sources was removed. Use
the LDO output as the source of VDD25 input.
■
As noted in the PCN, pin 41 (ball K3 on the BGA package) was renamed from GNDPHY to ERBIAS.
A 12.4-kΩ resistor should be connected between ERBIAS and ground to accommodate future device
revisions (see “Functional Description” on page 447).
■
Additional minor data sheet clarifications and corrections.
■
The ΘJA value was changed from 55.3 to 34 in the "Thermal Characteristics" table in the Operating
Characteristics chapter.
■
Bit 31 of the DC3 register was incorrectly described in prior versions of the data sheet. A reset of
1 indicates that an even CCP pin is present and can be used as a 32-KHz input clock.
■
Values for IDD_HIBERNATE were added to the "Detailed Power Specifications" table in the "Electrical
Characteristics" chapter.
■
The "Hibernation Module DC Electricals" table was added to the "Electrical Characteristics" chapter.

Characteristics" chapter was changed from 4 to 3.
■
The operational frequency of the internal 30-kHz oscillator clock source is 30 kHz ± 50% (prior data
sheets incorrectly noted it as 30 kHz ± 30%).
■
A value of 0x3 in bits 5:4 of the MISC register (OSCSRC) indicates the 30-KHz internal oscillator is
the input source for the oscillator. Prior data sheets incorrectly noted 0x3 as a reserved value.
■
The reset for bits 6:4 of the RCC2 register (OSCSRC2) is 0x1 (IOSC). Prior data sheets incorrectly
noted the reset was 0x0 (MOSC).

Description
■
■
The following notes on battery management were added to the "Hibernation Module" chapter:
–
Battery voltage is not measured while in Hibernate mode.
–
System level factors may affect the accuracy of the low battery detect circuit. The designer
should consider battery type, discharge characteristics, and a test load during battery voltage
measurements.
A note on high-current applications was added to the GPIO chapter:
For special high-current applications, the GPIO output buffers may be used with the following
restrictions. With the GPIO pins configured as 8-mA output drivers, a total of four GPIO outputs may
be used to sink current loads up to 18 mA each. At 18-mA sink current loading, the VOL value is
specified as 1.2 V. The high-current GPIO package pins must be selected such that there are only
a maximum of two per side of the physical package or BGA pin group with the total number of
high-current GPIO outputs not exceeding four for the entire package.
■
A note on Schmitt inputs was added to the GPIO chapter:
Pins configured as digital inputs are Schmitt-triggered.
■
The Buffer type on the WAKE pin changed from OD to - in the Signal Tables.
■
The "Differential Sampling Range" figures in the ADC chapter were clarified.
■
The last revision of the data sheet (revision 2550) introduced two errors that have now been corrected:

Notation
Meaning
General Register Notation
REGISTER
APB registers are indicated in uppercase bold. For example, PBORCTL is the Power-On and
Brown-Out Reset Control register. If a register name contains a lowercase n, it represents more
than one register. For example, SRCRn represents any (or all) of the three Software Reset Control
registers: SRCR0, SRCR1 , and SRCR2.
bit
A single bit in a register.
bit field
Two or more consecutive and related bits.
offset 0xnnn
A hexadecimal increment to a register's address, relative to that module's base address as specified
in “Memory Map” on page 53.
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. In most cases, reserved bits are set to
0; however, user software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide software
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be preserved across a
read-modify-write operation.
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.
RC
Software can read this field. The bit or field is cleared by hardware after reading 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.
R/W1S
Software can read or write a 1 to this field. A write of a 0 to a R/W1S bit does not affect the bit
value in the register.
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.
-
Nondeterministic.
Pin/Signal Notation
[]
Pin alternate function; a pin defaults to the signal without the brackets.
pin
Refers to the physical connection on the package.
signal
Refers to the electrical signal encoding of a pin.

Notation
Meaning
assert a signal
Change the value of the signal from the logically False state to the logically True state. For active
High signals, the asserted signal value is 1 (High); for active Low signals, the asserted signal value
is 0 (Low). The active polarity (High or Low) is defined by the signal name (see SIGNAL and SIGNAL
below).
deassert a signal
Change the value of the signal from the logically True state to the logically False state.
SIGNAL
Signal names are in uppercase and in the Courier font. An overbar on a signal name indicates that
it is active Low. To assert SIGNAL is to drive it Low; to deassert SIGNAL is to drive it High.
SIGNAL
Signal names are in uppercase and in the Courier font. An active High signal has no overbar. To
assert SIGNAL is to drive it High; to deassert SIGNAL is to drive it Low.
Numbers
X
An uppercase X indicates any of several values is allowed, where X can be any legal pattern. For
example, a binary value of 0X00 can be either 0100 or 0000, a hex value of 0xX is 0x0 or 0x1, and
so on.
0x
Hexadecimal numbers have a prefix of 0x. For example, 0x00FF is the hexadecimal number FF.
All other numbers within register tables are assumed to be binary. Within conceptual information,
binary numbers are indicated with a b suffix, for example, 1011b, and decimal numbers are written
without a prefix or suffix.

®
The Stellaris family of microcontrollers—the first ARM® Cortex™-M3 based controllers—brings
high-performance 32-bit computing to cost-sensitive embedded microcontroller applications. These
pioneering parts deliver customers 32-bit performance at a cost equivalent to legacy 8- and 16-bit
devices, all in a package with a small footprint.
®
The Stellaris family offers efficient performance and extensive integration, favorably positioning
the device into cost-conscious applications requiring significant control-processing and connectivity
®
capabilities. The Stellaris LM3S8000 series combines Bosch Controller Area Network technology
with both a 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layer.
The LM3S8971 microcontroller is targeted for industrial applications, including remote monitoring,
electronic point-of-sale machines, test and measurement equipment, network appliances and
switches, factory automation, HVAC and building control, gaming equipment, motion control, medical
instrumentation, and fire and security.
For applications requiring extreme conservation of power, the LM3S8971 microcontroller features
a battery-backed Hibernation module to efficiently power down the LM3S8971 to a low-power state
during extended periods of inactivity. With a power-up/power-down sequencer, a continuous time
counter (RTC), a pair of match registers, an APB interface to the system bus, and dedicated
non-volatile memory, the Hibernation module positions the LM3S8971 microcontroller perfectly for
battery applications.
In addition, the LM3S8971 microcontroller offers the advantages of ARM's widely available
development tools, System-on-Chip (SoC) infrastructure IP applications, and a large user community.
Additionally, the microcontroller uses ARM's Thumb®-compatible Thumb-2 instruction set to reduce
memory requirements and, thereby, cost. Finally, the LM3S8971 microcontroller is code-compatible
®
to all members of the extensive Stellaris family; providing flexibility to fit our customers' precise
needs.
Texas Instruments offers a complete solution to get to market quickly, with evaluation and
development boards, white papers and application notes, an easy-to-use peripheral driver library,
and a strong support, sales, and distributor network. See “Ordering and Contact
®
Information” on page 632 for ordering information for Stellaris family devices.

Functional Overview
The following sections provide an overview of the features of the LM3S8971 microcontroller. The
page 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 632.
1.4.1
ARM Cortex™-M3
1.4.1.1
Processor Core (see page 47)
®
All members of the Stellaris product family, including the LM3S8971 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.
“ARM Cortex-M3 Processor Core” on page 47 provides an overview of the ARM core; the core is
detailed in the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual.
1.4.1.2
System Timer (SysTick) (see page 50)
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.
1.4.1.3
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) (see page 55)
The LM3S8971 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 34 interrupts.
“Interrupts” on page 55 provides an overview of the NVIC controller and the interrupt map. Exceptions
and interrupts are detailed in the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual.

Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
1.4.2
Motor Control Peripherals
To enhance motor control, the LM3S8971 controller features Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs
and the Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI).
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 LM3S8971, PWM motion control functionality can be achieved through:
■ Dedicated, flexible motion control hardware using the PWM pins
■ The motion control features of the general-purpose timers using the CCP pins
PWM Pins (see page 504)
The LM3S8971 PWM module consists of three PWM generator blocks 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.
CCP Pins (see page 229)
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.
Fault Pin (see page 509)
The LM3S8971 PWM module includes one fault-condition handling input to quickly provide low-latency
shutdown and prevent damage to the motor being controlled.
1.4.2.2
QEI (see page 542)
A quadrature encoder, also known as a 2-channel incremental encoder, converts linear displacement
into a pulse signal. By monitoring both the number of pulses and the relative phase of the two signals,
you can track the position, direction of rotation, and speed. In addition, a third channel, or index
signal, can be used to reset the position counter.
The Stellaris quadrature encoder with index (QEI) module interprets the code produced by a
quadrature encoder wheel to integrate position over time and determine direction of rotation. In
addition, it can capture a running estimate of the velocity of the encoder wheel.
1.4.3
Analog Peripherals
To handle analog signals, the LM3S8971 microcontroller offers an Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC).
For support of analog signals, the LM3S8971 microcontroller offers one analog comparator.
June 23, 2010

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Architectural Overview
1.4.3.1
ADC (see page 283)
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a peripheral that converts a continuous analog voltage to a
discrete digital number.
The LM3S8971 ADC module features 10-bit conversion resolution and supports eight 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 Comparators (see page 493)
An analog comparator is a peripheral that compares two analog voltages, and provides a logical
output that signals the comparison result.
The LM3S8971 microcontroller 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.
1.4.4
Serial Communications Peripherals
The LM3S8971 controller supports both asynchronous and synchronous serial communications
with:
■ One fully programmable 16C550-type UART
■ One SSI module
■ One CAN unit
■ Ethernet controller
1.4.4.1
UART (see page 320)
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 LM3S8971 controller includes one fully programmable 16C550-type UARTthat supports data
transfer speeds up to 3.125 Mbps. (Although similar in functionality to a 16C550 UART, it is not
register-compatible.) In addition, each UART is capable of supporting IrDA.
Separate 16x8 transmit (TX) and receive (RX) FIFOs reduce CPU interrupt service loading. The
UART can generate individually masked interrupts from the RX, TX, modem status, and error
42

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
conditions. The module provides a single combined interrupt when any of the interrupts are asserted
and are unmasked.
1.4.4.2
SSI (see page 361)
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a four-wire bi-directional full and low-speed communications
interface.
The LM3S8971 controller includes one SSI module that 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.
1.4.4.3
Controller Area Network (see page 398)
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a multicast shared serial-bus standard for connecting electronic
control units (ECUs). CAN was specifically designed to be robust in electromagnetically noisy
environments and can utilize a differential balanced line like RS-485 or a more robust twisted-pair
wire. Originally created for automotive purposes, now it is used in many embedded control
applications (for example, industrial or medical). Bit rates up to 1Mb/s are possible at network lengths
below 40 meters. Decreased bit rates allow longer network distances (for example, 125 Kb/s at
500m).
A transmitter sends a message to all CAN nodes (broadcasting). Each node decides on the basis
of the identifier received whether it should process the message. The identifier also determines the
priority that the message enjoys in competition for bus access. Each CAN message can transmit
from 0 to 8 bytes of user information. The LM3S8971 includes one CAN units.
1.4.4.4
Ethernet Controller (see page 446)
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet
has been standardized as IEEE 802.3. It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the
physical layer, two means of network access at the Media Access Control (MAC)/Data Link Layer,
and a common addressing format.
The Stellaris® Ethernet Controller consists of a fully integrated media access controller (MAC) and
network physical (PHY) interface device. The Ethernet Controller conforms to IEEE 802.3
specifications and fully supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX standards. In addition, the Ethernet
Controller supports automatic MDI/MDI-X cross-over correction.
1.4.5
System Peripherals
1.4.5.1
Programmable GPIOs (see page 181)
General-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins offer flexibility for a variety of connections.
June 23, 2010
43
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Architectural Overview
®
The Stellaris GPIO module is comprised of eight 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 4-38 programmable input/output pins.
The number of GPIOs available depends on the peripherals being used (see “Signal
Tables” on page 561 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. Pins configured as digital inputs are
Schmitt-triggered.
1.4.5.2
Four Programmable Timers (see page 223)
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 four GPTM blocks. Each GPTM
block provides two 16-bit timers/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 Real-Time Clock (RTC), one-shot timer or
periodic timer. 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 (see page 259)
A watchdog timer can generate an interrupt 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 been configured,
the lock register can be written to prevent the timer configuration from being inadvertently altered.
1.4.6
Memory Peripherals
The LM3S8971 controller offers both single-cycle SRAM and single-cycle Flash memory.
1.4.6.1
SRAM (see page 155)
The LM3S8971 static random access memory (SRAM) controller supports 64 KB SRAM. The internal
®
SRAM of the Stellaris devices starts at base 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 (see page 156)
The LM3S8971 Flash controller supports 256 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
44
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
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 (see page 53)
A memory map lists the location of instructions and data in memory. The memory map for the
LM3S8971 controller can be found in “Memory Map” on page 53. 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 (see page 58)
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 composed 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 Stellaris 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 Stellaris JTAG instructions select the Stellaris TDO
®
outputs. The multiplexer is controlled by the Stellaris JTAG controller, which has comprehensive
®
programming for the ARM, Stellaris , and unimplemented JTAG instructions.
1.4.7.3
System Control and Clocks (see page 70)
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.
1.4.7.4
Hibernation Module (see page 135)
The Hibernation module provides logic to switch power off to the main processor and peripherals,
and to wake on external or time-based events. The Hibernation module includes power-sequencing
logic, a real-time clock with a pair of match registers, low-battery detection circuitry, and interrupt
signalling to the processor. It also includes 64 32-bit words of non-volatile memory that can be used
for saving state during hibernation.

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.
Texas Instruments has implemented the ARM Cortex-M3 core as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 48.
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
Texas Instruments has replaced the ARM SW-DP and JTAG-DP with the ARM CoreSight™-compliant
Serial Wire JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP) interface. 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 on page 49.
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.

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.

Texas Instruments-Production Data
ARM Cortex-M3 Processor Core
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
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.
2.2.6.1
Interrupts
The ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical Reference Manual describes the maximum number of interrupts
and interrupt priorities. The LM3S8971 microcontroller supports 34 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.

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.

Value Description

Counter disabled.
1
Counter operates in a multi-shot way. That is, counter loads with the
Reload value and then begins counting down. On reaching 0, it sets
the COUNTFLAG to 1 and optionally pends the SysTick handler, based
on TICKINT. It then loads the Reload value again, and begins counting.
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 0x00FF.FFFF. 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 0x00FF.FFFF. 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 on page 55 lists all exception types. Software can set eight priority levels on seven of
these exceptions (system handlers) as well as on 34 interrupts (listed in Table 4-2 on page 56).
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 also can group priorities by splitting priority levels into pre-emption priorities
and subpriorities. All of 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
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.
Important: It may take several processor cycles after a write to clear an interrupt source in order
for NVIC to see the interrupt source de-assert. This means if the interrupt clear is done
as the last action in an interrupt handler, it is possible for the interrupt handler to complete
while NVIC sees the interrupt as still asserted, causing the interrupt handler to be
re-entered errantly. This can be avoided by either clearing the interrupt source at the
beginning of the interrupt handler or by performing a read or write after the write to clear
the interrupt source (and flush the write buffer).
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 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 Stellaris 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 Stellaris JTAG instructions select the Stellaris TDO
®
outputs. The multiplexer is controlled by the Stellaris JTAG controller, which has comprehensive
®
programming for the ARM, Stellaris , and unimplemented JTAG instructions.
®
The Stellaris 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, IDCODE, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, EXTEST and INTEST
■ ARM additional instructions: APACC, DPACC and ABORT
■ Integrated ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD)

controller.

Functional Description
A high-level conceptual drawing of the JTAG module is shown in Figure 5-1 on page 59. 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 65 for a list of implemented instructions).
See “JTAG and Boundary Scan” on page 595 for JTAG timing diagrams.
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 on page 60. 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 62.
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.
60
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
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 62. 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 “Register Descriptions” on page 65.
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 is described below.

5.2.4.1
GPIO Functionality
When the controller is reset with either a POR or RST, the JTAG/SWD port pins default to their
JTAG/SWD configurations. The default configuration includes enabling digital functionality (setting
GPIODEN to 1), enabling the pull-up resistors (setting GPIOPUR to 1), and enabling the alternate
hardware function (setting GPIOAFSEL to 1) for the PB7 and PC[3:0] JTAG/SWD 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/SWD port for debugging
or board-level testing, this provides five more GPIOs for use in the design.
Caution – 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.
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(see page 198) are not committed to storage unless the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see
page 208) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see
page 209) have been set to 1.
Recovering a "Locked" Device
Note:
The mass erase of the flash memory caused by the below sequence erases the entire flash
memory, regardless of the settings in the Flash Memory Protection Program Enable n
(FMPPEn) registers. Performing the sequence below does not affect the nonvolatile registers
discussed in “Nonvolatile Register Programming” on page 158.
If software configures any of the JTAG/SWD pins as GPIO and loses the ability to communicate
with the debugger, there is a debug sequence that can be used to recover the device. Performing
a total of ten JTAG-to-SWD and SWD-to-JTAG switch sequences while holding the device in reset
mass erases the flash memory. The sequence to recover the device is:
1. Assert and hold the RST signal.
2. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
3. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
4. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
5. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
6. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
7. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
8. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
9. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
10. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.

11. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
12. Release the RST signal.
13. Wait 400 ms.
14. Power-cycle the device.
The JTAG-to-SWD and SWD-to-JTAG switch sequences are described in “ARM Serial Wire Debug
(SWD)” on page 64. When performing switch sequences for the purpose of recovering the debug
capabilities of the device, only steps 1 and 2 of the switch sequence in the section called
“JTAG-to-SWD Switching” on page 64 must be performed.
5.2.4.2
Communication with JTAG/SWD
Because the debug clock and the system clock can be running at different frequencies, care must
be taken to maintain reliable communication with the JTAG/SWD interface. In the Capture-DR state,
the result of the previous transaction, if any, is returned, together with a 3-bit ACK response. Software
should check the ACK response to see if the previous operation has completed before initiating a
new transaction. Alternatively, if the system clock is at least 8 times faster than the debug clock
(TCK or SWCLK), the previous operation has enough time to complete and the ACK bits do not have
to be checked.
5.2.4.3
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 switching 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, Test Logic Reset, Test Logic
Reset, Run Test Idle, Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, Test Logic Reset, Test Logic Reset, Run
Test Idle, Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, and Test Logic Reset states.
Stepping through this sequences of the TAP state machine 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.
JTAG-to-SWD Switching
To switch the operating mode of the Debug Access Port (DAP) from JTAG to SWD mode, the
external debug hardware must send the switching preamble to the device. The 16-bit switch sequence
for switching to SWD mode is defined as b1110011110011110, transmitted LSB first. This can also
be represented as 16'hE79E when transmitted LSB first. The complete switch sequence should
consist of the following transactions on the TCK/SWCLK and TMS/SWDIO signals:
1. Send at least 50 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that both JTAG and
SWD are in their reset/idle states.

2. Send the 16-bit JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence, 16'hE79E.
3. Send at least 50 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that if SWJ-DP was
already in SWD mode, before sending the switch sequence, the SWD goes into the line reset
state.
SWD-to-JTAG Switching
To switch the operating mode of the Debug Access Port (DAP) from SWD to JTAG mode, the
external debug hardware must send a switch sequence to the device. The 16-bit switch sequence
for switching to JTAG mode is defined as b1110011100111100, transmitted LSB first. This can also
be represented as 16'hE73C when transmitted LSB first. The complete switch sequence should
consist of the following transactions on the TCK/SWCLK and TMS/SWDIO signals:
1. Send at least 50 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that both JTAG and
SWD are in their reset/idle states.
2. Send the 16-bit SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence, 16'hE73C.
3. Send at least 5 TCK/SWCLK cycles with TMS/SWDIO set to 1. This ensures that if SWJ-DP was
already in JTAG mode, before sending the switch sequence, the JTAG goes into the Test Logic
Reset state.
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. In addition to
enabling the alternate functions, any other changes to the GPIO pad configurations on the five JTAG
pins (PB7 andPC[3:0]) should be reverted to their default settings.
5.4
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 connected between the JTAG
TDI and TDO pins with a parallel load register. 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 on page 65. A detailed explanation of each instruction, along
with its associated Data Register, follows.

All Others
Reserved
Defaults to the BYPASS instruction to ensure that TDI is always connected
to TDO.
EXTEST Instruction
The EXTEST instruction is not associated with its own 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. While the EXTEST instruction is present in the Instruction Register, the Boundary Scan
Data Register can be accessed to sample and shift out the current data and load new data into the
Boundary Scan Data Register.
5.4.1.2
INTEST Instruction
The INTEST instruction is not associated with its own 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 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. While the INTEXT instruction is present in the Instruction Register, the Boundary
Scan Data Register can be accessed to sample and shift out the current data and load new data
into the Boundary Scan Data Register.
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
66

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
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 68 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 69 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 69 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 69 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 68 for more
information.
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 68 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 on page 68. 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 0x3BA0.0477. 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 on page 69. Each GPIO
pin, starting with a GPIO pin next to 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
signals are input, output, and output enable, and are arranged in that order as can be seen in the
figure.
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 to the core and individual peripherals, and handles reset detection and
reporting.
6.1
Functional Description
The System Control module provides the following capabilities:
■ Device identification (see “Device Identification” on page 70)
■ Local control, such as reset (see “Reset Control” on page 70), power (see “Power
Control” on page 73) and clock control (see “Clock Control” on page 75)
■ System control (Run, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep modes); see “System Control” on page 80
6.1.1
Device Identification
Several 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.
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
CMOD0 and CMOD1 Test-Mode Control Pins
Two pins, CMOD0 and CMOD1, are defined for internal use for testing the microcontroller during
manufacture. They have no end-user function and should not be used. The CMOD pins should be
connected to ground.
6.1.2.2
Reset Sources
The controller has five sources of reset:
1. External reset input pin (RST) assertion; see “External RST Pin” on page 71.
2. Power-on reset (POR); see “Power-On Reset (POR)” on page 70.
3. Internal brown-out (BOR) detector; see “Brown-Out Reset (BOR)” on page 72.
4. Software-initiated reset (with the software reset registers); see “Software Reset” on page 73.
5. A watchdog timer reset condition violation; see “Watchdog Timer Reset” on page 73.
After a reset, the Reset Cause (RESC) register is set with the reset cause. The bits in this register
are sticky and maintain their state across multiple reset sequences, except when an internal POR
is the cause, and then all the other bits in the RESC register are cleared except for the POR indicator.
6.1.2.3
Power-On Reset (POR)
Note:
The power-on reset also resets the JTAG controller. An external reset does not.
70
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
The internal Power-On Reset (POR) circuit monitors the power supply voltage (VDD) and generates
a reset signal to all of the internal logic including JTAG when the power supply ramp reaches a
threshold value (VTH). The microcontroller must be operating within the specified operating parameters
when the on-chip power-on reset pulse is complete. The 3.3-V power supply to the microcontroller
must reach 3.0 V within 10 msec of VDD crossing 2.0 V to guarantee proper operation. For applications
that require the use of an external reset signal to hold the microcontroller in reset longer than the
internal POR, the RST input may be used as discussed in “External RST Pin” on page 71.
The Power-On Reset sequence is as follows:
1. The microcontroller waits for internal POR to go inactive.
2. The internal reset is released and the core loads from memory 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 microcontroller. The Power-On Reset
timing is shown in Figure 23-6 on page 598.
6.1.2.4
External RST Pin
Note:
It is recommended that the trace for the RST signal must be kept as short as possible. Be
sure to place any components connected to the RST signal as close to the microcontroller
as possible.
If the application only uses the internal POR circuit, the RST input must be connected to the power
supply (VDD) through an optional pull-up resistor (0 to 100K Ω) as shown in Figure 6-1 on page 71.
Figure 6-1. Basic RST Configuration
VDD
Stellaris®
RPU
RST
RPU = 0 to 100 kΩ
The external reset pin (RST) resets the microcontroller including the core and all the on-chip
peripherals except the JTAG TAP controller (see “JTAG Interface” on page 58). The external reset
sequence is as follows:
1. The external reset pin (RST) is asserted for the duration specified by TMIN and then de-asserted
(see “Reset” on page 597).
2. The internal reset is released and the core loads from memory the initial stack pointer, the initial
program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then begins
execution.
To improve noise immunity and/or to delay reset at power up, the RST input may be connected to
an RC network as shown in Figure 6-2 on page 72.

6.1.2.5
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 the power supply (VDD) drops
below a brown-out threshold voltage (VBTH). If a brown-out condition is detected, the system may
generate a controller interrupt or a system reset.
Brown-out resets are controlled with the Power-On and Brown-Out Reset Control (PBORCTL)
register. The BORIOR bit in the PBORCTL register must be set for a brown-out condition to trigger
a reset.
The brown-out reset is equivalent to an assertion of the external RST input and the reset is held
active until the proper VDD level is restored. The RESC register can be examined in the reset interrupt
72

handler to determine if a Brown-Out condition was the cause of the reset, thus allowing software to
determine what actions are required to recover.
The internal Brown-Out Reset timing is shown in Figure 23-7 on page 598.
6.1.2.6
Software Reset
Software can reset a specific peripheral or generate a reset to the entire system .
Peripherals can be individually reset by software via three registers that control reset signals to each
peripheral (see the SRCRn registers). If the bit position corresponding to a peripheral is set and
subsequently cleared, 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 80). 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 by 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 is 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 deasserted and the controller loads from memory 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 23-8 on page 598.
6.1.2.7
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, 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 loads from memory the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, the first instruction designated by the program counter, and begins
execution.
The watchdog reset timing is shown in Figure 23-9 on page 599.
6.1.3

The Stellaris microcontroller provides an integrated LDO regulator that may be used to provide
power to the majority of the controller's internal logic. For power reduction, the LDO regulator provides

software a mechanism to adjust the regulated value, in small increments (VSTEP), over the range
of 2.25 V to 2.75 V (inclusive)—or 2.5 V ± 10%. The adjustment is made by changing the value of
the VADJ field in the LDO Power Control (LDOPCTL) register.
Figure 6-4 on page 74 shows the power architecture.
Note:
On the printed circuit board, use the LDO output as the source of VDD25 input. In addition,
the LDO requires decoupling capacitors. See “On-Chip Low Drop-Out (LDO) Regulator

Clock Control
System control determines the control of clocks in this part.
6.1.4.1
Fundamental Clock Sources
There are multiple clock sources for use in the device:
■ Internal Oscillator (IOSC). The internal oscillator is an on-chip clock source. It does not require
the use of any external components. The frequency of the internal oscillator is 12 MHz ± 30%.
Applications that do not depend on accurate clock sources may use this clock source to reduce
system cost. The internal oscillator is the clock source the device uses during and following POR.
If the main oscillator is required, software must enable the main oscillator following reset and
allow the main oscillator to stabilize before changing the clock reference.
■ Main Oscillator (MOSC). The main oscillator provides a frequency-accurate clock source by
one of two means: an external single-ended clock source is connected to the OSC0 input pin, or
an external crystal is connected across the OSC0 input and OSC1 output pins. If the PLL is being
used, the crystal value must be one of the supported frequencies between 3.579545 MHz through
8.192 MHz (inclusive). If the PLL is not being used, the crystal may be any one of the supported
frequencies between 1 MHz and 8.192 MHz. The single-ended clock source range is from DC
through the specified speed of the device. The supported crystals are listed in the XTAL bit field
in the RCC register (see page 92).
■ Internal 30-kHz Oscillator. The internal 30-kHz oscillator is similar to the internal oscillator,
except that it provides an operational frequency of 30 kHz ± 50%. It is intended for use during
Deep-Sleep power-saving modes. This power-savings mode benefits from reduced internal
switching and also allows the main oscillator to be powered down.
■ External Real-Time Oscillator. The external real-time oscillator provides a low-frequency,
accurate clock reference. It is intended to provide the system with a real-time clock source. The
real-time oscillator is part of the Hibernation Module (see “Hibernation Module” on page 135) and
may also provide an accurate source of Deep-Sleep or Hibernate mode power savings.
The internal system clock (SysClk), is derived from any of the above sources plus two others: the
output of the main internal PLL, and the internal oscillator divided by four (3 MHz ± 30%). The
frequency of the PLL clock reference must be in the range of 3.579545 MHz to 8.192 MHz (inclusive).
Table 6-1 on page 75 shows how the various clock sources can be used in a system.

Clock Configuration
The Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) and Run-Mode Clock Configuration 2 (RCC2)
registers provide control for the system clock. The RCC2 register is provided to extend fields that
June 23, 2010

System Control
offer additional encodings over the RCC register. When used, the RCC2 register field values are
used by the logic over the corresponding field in the RCC register. In particular, RCC2 provides for
a larger assortment of clock configuration options. These registers control the following clock
functionality:
■ Source of clocks in sleep and deep-sleep modes
■ System clock derived from PLL or other clock source
■ Enabling/disabling of oscillators and PLL
■ Clock divisors
■ Crystal input selection
Figure 6-5 on page 77 shows the logic for the main clock tree. The peripheral blocks are driven by
the system clock signal and can be individually enabled/disabled. The ADC clock signal is
automatically divided down to 16 MHz for proper ADC operation. The PWM clock signal is a
synchronous divide of the system clock to provide the PWM circuit with more range (set with PWMDIV
in RCC).
Note:
When the ADC module is in operation, the system clock must be at least 16 MHz.

In the RCC register, the SYSDIV field specifies which divisor is used to generate the system clock
from either the PLL output or the oscillator source (depending on how the BYPASS bit in this register
is configured). When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is predivided by 2 before the
divisor is applied. Table 6-2 shows how the SYSDIV encoding affects the system clock frequency,
depending on whether the PLL is used (BYPASS=0) or another clock source is used (BYPASS=1).
The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV encoding plus 1. For a list of possible clock sources, see
Table 6-1 on page 75.

The SYSDIV2 field in the RCC2 register is 2 bits wider than the SYSDIV field in the RCC register
so that additional larger divisors up to /64 are possible, allowing a lower system clock frequency for
improved Deep Sleep power consumption. When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is
predivided by 2 before the divisor is applied. The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV2 encoding
plus 1. Table 6-3 shows how the SYSDIV2 encoding affects the system clock frequency, depending

6.1.4.3
Crystal Configuration for the Main Oscillator (MOSC)
The main oscillator supports the use of a select number of crystals. If the main oscillator is used by
the PLL as a reference clock, the supported range of crystals is 3.579545 to 8.192 MHz, otherwise,
the range of supported crystals is 1 to 8.192 MHz.
The XTAL bit in the RCC register (see page 92) describes the available crystal choices and default
programming values.
Software configures the RCC register XTAL field with the crystal number. If the PLL is used in the
design, the XTAL field value is internally translated to the PLL settings.
6.1.4.4
Main PLL Frequency Configuration
The main PLL is disabled by default during power-on reset and is enabled later by software if
required. Software specifies the output divisor to set the system clock frequency, and enables the
main PLL to drive the output. The PLL operates at 400 MHz, but is divided by two prior to the
application of the output divisor.
If the main oscillator provides the clock reference to the main PLL, the translation provided by
hardware and used to program the PLL is available for software in the XTAL to PLL Translation
(PLLCFG) register (see page 96). The internal translation provides a translation within ± 1% of the
targeted PLL VCO frequency. Table 23-9 on page 594 shows the actual PLL frequency and error for
a given crystal choice.
The Crystal Value field (XTAL) in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register (see page 92)
describes the available crystal choices and default programming of the PLLCFG register. Any time
the XTAL field changes, the new settings are translated and the internal PLL settings are updated.
To configure the external 32-kHz real-time oscillator as the PLL input reference, program the OSCRC2
field in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration 2 (RCC2) register to be 0x7.
6.1.4.5
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/RCC2 register fields (see page 92 and page 97).
6.1.4.6
PLL Operation
If a PLL configuration is changed, the PLL output frequency is unstable until it reconverges (relocks)
to the new setting. The time between the configuration change and relock is TREADY (see Table
23-8 on page 594). During the relock time, the affected PLL is not usable as a clock reference.
June 23, 2010
79
Texas Instruments-Production Data
System Control
PLL is changed by one of the following:
■ Change to the XTAL value in the RCC register—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 an 8.192 MHz external oscillator clock). Hardware is provided to 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/RCC2 register is switched to use the PLL.
If the main PLL is enabled and the system clock is switched to use the PLL in one step, the system
control hardware continues to clock the controller from the oscillator selected by the RCC/RCC2
register until the main PLL is stable (TREADY time met), after which it changes to the PLL. Software
can use many methods to ensure that the system is clocked from the main PLL, including periodically
polling the PLLLRIS bit in the Raw Interrupt Status (RIS) register, and enabling the PLL Lock
interrupt.
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.
There are four levels of operation for the device defined as:
■ Run Mode. In Run mode, the controller actively executes code. 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.
■ Sleep Mode. In Sleep mode, the clock frequency of the active peripherals is unchanged, but the
processor and the memory subsystem are not clocked and therefore no longer execute code.
Sleep mode is entered by the Cortex-M3 core executing a WFI(Wait for Interrupt)
instruction. Any properly configured interrupt event in the system will bring the processor back
into Run mode. See the system control NVIC section of the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical
Reference Manual for more details.
Peripherals are clocked that are enabled in the SCGCn register when auto-clock gating is enabled
(see the RCC register) 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.
■ Deep-Sleep Mode. In Deep-Sleep mode, the clock frequency of the active peripherals may
change (depending on the Run mode clock configuration) in addition to the processor clock being
stopped. An interrupt returns the device to Run mode from one of the sleep modes; the sleep
modes are entered on request from the code. Deep-Sleep mode is entered by first writing the
Deep Sleep Enable bit in the ARM Cortex-M3 NVIC system control register and then executing
a WFI instruction. Any properly configured interrupt event in the system will bring the processor
back into Run mode. See the system control NVIC section of the ARM® Cortex™-M3 Technical
Reference Manual for more details.
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 the RCC
register) or the RCGCn register when 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
80
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
one is enabled. 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 will power the PLL down and override the SYSDIV field of the active
RCC/RCC2 register, to be determined by the DSDIVORIDE setting in the DSLPCLKCFG register,
up to /16 or /64 respectively. When the Deep-Sleep exit event occurs, 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 had been stopped during the Deep-Sleep duration.
■ Hibernate Mode. In this mode, the power supplies are turned off to the main part of the device
and only the Hibernation module's circuitry is active. An external wake event or RTC event is
required to bring the device back to Run mode. The Cortex-M3 processor and peripherals outside
of the Hibernation module see a normal "power on" sequence and the processor starts running
code. It can determine that it has been restarted from Hibernate mode by inspecting the
Hibernation module registers.
Caution – If the Cortex-M3 Debug Access Port (DAP) has been enabled, and the device wakes from a
low power sleep or deep-sleep mode, the core may start executing code before all clocks to peripherals
have been restored to their run mode configuration. The DAP is usually enabled by software tools
accessing the JTAG or SWD interface when debugging or flash programming. If this condition occurs,
a Hard Fault is triggered when software accesses a peripheral with an invalid clock.
A software delay loop can be used at the beginning of the interrupt routine that is used to wake up a
system from a WFI (Wait For Interrupt) instruction. This stalls the execution of any code that accesses
a peripheral register that might cause a fault. This loop can be removed for production software as the
DAP is most likely not enabled during normal execution.
Because the DAP is disabled by default (power on reset), the user can also power-cycle the device. The
DAP is not enabled unless it is enabled through the JTAG or SWD interface.
6.2
Initialization and Configuration
The PLL is configured using direct register writes to the RCC/RCC2 register. If the RCC2 register
is being used, the USERCC2 bit must be set and the appropriate RCC2 bit/field is used. 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 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 bit in
RCC/RCC2. Setting the XTAL field automatically pulls valid PLL configuration data for the
appropriate crystal, and clearing the PWRDN bit powers and enables the PLL and its output.
3. Select the desired system divider (SYSDIV) in RCC/RCC2 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.
5. Enable use of the PLL by clearing the BYPASS bit in RCC/RCC2.

Auto Clock Gating
This bit specifies whether the system uses the Sleep-Mode Clock
Gating Control (SCGCn) registers and Deep-Sleep-Mode Clock
Gating Control (DCGCn) registers 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 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.

If the SYSDIV value is less than MINSYSDIV (see page 103), and the
PLL is being used, then the MINSYSDIV value is used as the divisor.
If the PLL is not being used, the SYSDIV value can be less than
MINSYSDIV.

Register 10: Run-Mode Clock Configuration 2 (RCC2), offset 0x070
This register overrides the RCC equivalent register fields, as shown in Table 6-5, when the USERCC2
bit is set, allowing the extended capabilities of the RCC2 register to be used while also providing a
means to be backward-compatible to previous parts. Each RCC2 field that supersedes an RCC
field is located at the same LSB bit position; however, some RCC2 fields are larger than the
corresponding RCC field.

Register 18: Run Mode Clock Gating Control Register 0 (RCGC0), offset 0x100
This register controls 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
specifies that the system uses sleep modes.

This register controls 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. RCGC1 is the
clock configuration register for running operation, SCGC1 for Sleep operation, and DCGC1 for
Deep-Sleep operation. Setting the ACG bit in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register
specifies that the system uses sleep modes.

Register 26: Deep Sleep Mode Clock Gating Control Register 2 (DCGC2),
offset 0x128
This register controls 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. RCGC2 is the
clock configuration register for running operation, SCGC2 for Sleep operation, and DCGC2 for
Deep-Sleep operation. Setting the ACG bit in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register
specifies that the system uses sleep modes.

Hibernation Module
The Hibernation Module manages removal and restoration of power to provide a means for reducing
power consumption. When the processor and peripherals are idle, power can be completely removed
with only the Hibernation module remaining powered. Power can be restored based on an external
signal, or at a certain time using the built-in Real-Time Clock (RTC). The Hibernation module can
be independently supplied from a battery or an auxiliary power supply.
The Hibernation module has the following features:
■ System power control using discrete external regulator
■ Dedicated pin for waking from an external signal
■ Low-battery detection, signaling, and interrupt generation
■ 32-bit real-time clock (RTC)
■ Two 32-bit RTC match registers for timed wake-up and interrupt generation
■ Clock source from a 32.768-kHz external oscillator or a 4.194304-MHz crystal
■ RTC predivider trim for making fine adjustments to the clock rate
■ 64 32-bit words of non-volatile memory
■ Programmable interrupts for RTC match, external wake, and low battery events

Functional Description
The Hibernation module controls the power to the processor with an enable signal (HIB) that signals
an external voltage regulator to turn off.
The Hibernation module power source is determined dynamically. The supply voltage of the
Hibernation module is the larger of the main voltage source (VDD) or the battery/auxilliary voltage
source (VBAT). A voting circuit indicates the larger and an internal power switch selects the
appropriate voltage source. The Hibernation module also has a separate clock source to maintain
a real-time clock (RTC). Once in hibernation, the module signals an external voltage regulator to
turn back on the power when an external pin (WAKE) is asserted, or when the internal RTC reaches
a certain value. The Hibernation module can also detect when the battery voltage is low, and
optionally prevent hibernation when this occurs.
Power-up from a power cut to code execution is defined as the regulator turn-on time (specified at
tHIB_TO_VDD maximum) plus the normal chip POR (see “Hibernation Module” on page 599).
7.2.1
Register Access Timing
Because the Hibernation module has an independent clocking domain, certain registers must be
written only with a timing gap between accesses. The delay time is tHIB_REG_WRITE, therefore software
must guarantee that a delay of tHIB_REG_WRITE is inserted between back-to-back writes to certain
Hibernation registers, or between a write followed by a read to those same registers. There is no
restriction on timing for back-to-back reads from the Hibernation module.

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
7.2.2
Clock Source
The Hibernation module must be clocked by an external source, even if the RTC feature is not used.
An external oscillator or crystal can be used for this purpose. To use a crystal, a 4.194304-MHz
crystal is connected to the XOSC0 and XOSC1 pins. This clock signal is divided by 128 internally to
produce the 32.768-kHz clock reference. For an alternate clock source, a 32.768-kHz oscillator can
be connected to the XOSC0 pin. See Figure 7-2 on page 137 and Figure 7-3 on page 138. Note that
these diagrams only show the connection to the Hibernation pins and not to the full system. See
“Hibernation Module” on page 599 for specific values.
The clock source is enabled by setting the CLK32EN bit of the HIBCTL register. The type of clock
source is selected by setting the CLKSEL bit to 0 for a 4.194304-MHz clock source, and to 1 for a
32.768-kHz clock source. If the bit is set to 0, the 4.194304-MHz input clock is divided by 128,
resulting in a 32.768-kHz clock source. If a crystal is used for the clock source, the software must
leave a delay of tXOSC_SETTLE after setting the CLK32EN bit and before any other accesses to the
Hibernation module registers. The delay allows the crystal to power up and stabilize. If an oscillator
is used for the clock source, no delay is needed.

Battery Management
The Hibernation module can be independently powered by a battery or an auxiliary power source.
The module can monitor the voltage level of the battery and detect when the voltage drops below
VLOWBAT. When this happens, an interrupt can be generated. The module can also be configured
so that it will not go into Hibernate mode if the battery voltage drops below this threshold. Battery
voltage is not measured while in Hibernate mode.
Important: System level factors may affect the accuracy of the low battery detect circuit. The
designer should consider battery type, discharge characteristics, and a test load during
battery voltage measurements.
Note that the Hibernation module draws power from whichever source (VBAT or VDD) has the higher
voltage. Therefore, it is important to design the circuit to ensure that VDD is higher that VBAT under
nominal conditions or else the Hibernation module draws power from the battery even when VDD
is available.
The Hibernation module can be configured to detect a low battery condition by setting the LOWBATEN
bit of the HIBCTL register. In this configuration, the LOWBAT bit of the HIBRIS register will be set
when the battery level is low. If the VABORT bit is also set, then the module is prevented from entering
Hibernation mode when a low battery is detected. The module can also be configured to generate
an interrupt for the low-battery condition (see “Interrupts and Status” on page 140).
7.2.4
Real-Time Clock
The Hibernation module includes a 32-bit counter that increments once per second with a proper
clock source and configuration (see “Clock Source” on page 137). The 32.768-kHz clock signal is
fed into a predivider register which counts down the 32.768-kHz clock ticks to achieve a once per
second clock rate for the RTC. The rate can be adjusted to compensate for inaccuracies in the clock
source by using the predivider trim register, HIBRTCT. This register has a nominal value of 0x7FFF,
and is used for one second out of every 64 seconds to divide the input clock. This allows the software
to make fine corrections to the clock rate by adjusting the predivider trim register up or down from
0x7FFF. The predivider trim should be adjusted up from 0x7FFF in order to slow down the RTC
rate, and down from 0x7FFF in order to speed up the RTC rate.

The Hibernation module includes two 32-bit match registers that are compared to the value of the
RTC counter. The match registers can be used to wake the processor from hibernation mode, or
to generate an interrupt to the processor if it is not in hibernation.
The RTC must be enabled with the RTCEN bit of the HIBCTL register. The value of the RTC can be
set at any time by writing to the HIBRTCLD register. The predivider trim can be adjusted by reading
and writing the HIBRTCT register. The predivider uses this register once every 64 seconds to adjust
the clock rate. The two match registers can be set by writing to the HIBRTCM0 and HIBRTCM1
registers. The RTC can be configured to generate interrupts by using the interrupt registers (see
“Interrupts and Status” on page 140).
7.2.5
Non-Volatile Memory
The Hibernation module contains 64 32-bit words of memory which are retained during hibernation.
This memory is powered from the battery or auxiliary power supply during hibernation. The processor
software can save state information in this memory prior to hibernation, and can then recover the
state upon waking. The non-volatile memory can be accessed through the HIBDATA registers.
7.2.6
Power Control
Important: The Hibernation Module requires special system implementation considerations when
using HIB to control power, as it is intended to power-down all other sections of its host
device. All system signals and power supplies that connect to the chip must be driven
to 0 VDC or powered down with the same regulator controlled by HIB. See “Hibernation
Module” on page 599 for more details.
The Hibernation module controls power to the microcontroller through the use of the HIB pin. This
pin is intended to be connected to the enable signal of the external regulator(s) providing 3.3 V
and/or 2.5 V to the microcontroller. When the HIB signal is asserted by the Hibernation module, the
external regulator is turned off and no longer powers the system. The Hibernation module remains
powered from the VBAT supply (which could be a battery or an auxiliary power source) until a Wake
event. Power to the device is restored by deasserting the HIB signal, which causes the external
regulator to turn power back on to the chip.
7.2.7
Initiating Hibernate
Hibernation mode is initiated by the microcontroller setting the HIBREQ bit of the HIBCTL register.
Prior to doing this, a wake-up condition must be configured, either from the external WAKE pin, or
by using an RTC match.
The Hibernation module is configured to wake from the external WAKE pin by setting the PINWEN
bit of the HIBCTL register. It is configured to wake from RTC match by setting the RTCWEN bit. Either
one or both of these bits can be set prior to going into hibernation. The WAKE pin includes a weak
internal pull-up. Note that both the HIB and WAKE pins use the Hibernation module's internal power
supply as the logic 1 reference.
When the Hibernation module wakes, the microcontroller will see a normal power-on reset. Software
can detect that the power-on was due to a wake from hibernation by examining the raw interrupt
status register (see “Interrupts and Status” on page 140) and by looking for state data in the non-volatile
memory (see “Non-Volatile Memory” on page 139).
When the HIB signal deasserts, enabling the external regulator, the external regulator must reach
the operating voltage within tHIB_TO_VDD.

7.2.8
Interrupts and Status
The Hibernation module can generate interrupts when the following conditions occur:
■ Assertion of WAKE pin
■ RTC match
■ Low battery detected
All of the interrupts are ORed together before being sent to the interrupt controller, so the Hibernate
module can only generate a single interrupt request to the controller at any given time. The software
interrupt handler can service multiple interrupt events by reading the HIBMIS register. Software can
also read the status of the Hibernation module at any time by reading the HIBRIS register which
shows all of the pending events. This register can be used at power-on to see if a wake condition
is pending, which indicates to the software that a hibernation wake occurred.
The events that can trigger an interrupt are configured by setting the appropriate bits in the HIBIM
register. Pending interrupts can be cleared by writing the corresponding bit in the HIBIC register.
7.3
Initialization and Configuration
The Hibernation module can be set in several different configurations. The following sections show
the recommended programming sequence for various scenarios. The examples below assume that
a 32.768-kHz oscillator is used, and thus always show bit 2 (CLKSEL) of the HIBCTL register set
to 1. If a 4.194304-MHz crystal is used instead, then the CLKSEL bit remains cleared. Because the
Hibernation module runs at 32.768 kHz and is asynchronous to the rest of the system, software
must allow a delay of tHIB_REG_WRITE after writes to certain registers (see “Register Access
Timing” on page 136). The registers that require a delay are listed in a note in “Register
Map” on page 141 as well as in each register description.
7.3.1
Initialization
The Hibernation module clock source must be enabled first, even if the RTC feature is not used. If
a 4.194304-MHz crystal is used, perform the following steps:
1. Write 0x40 to the HIBCTL register at offset 0x10 to enable the crystal and select the divide-by-128
input path.
2. Wait for a time of tXOSC_SETTLE for the crystal to power up and stabilize before performing any
other operations with the Hibernation module.
If a 32.678-kHz oscillator is used, then perform the following steps:
1. Write 0x44 to the HIBCTL register at offset 0x10 to enable the oscillator input.
2. No delay is necessary.
The above is only necessary when the entire system is initialized for the first time. If the processor
is powered due to a wake from hibernation, then the Hibernation module has already been powered
up and the above steps are not necessary. The software can detect that the Hibernation module
and clock are already powered by examining the CLK32EN bit of the HIBCTL register.
7.3.2

HIBCTL register at offset 0x010.
7.3.4
External Wake-Up from Hibernation

2. Enable the external wake and start the hibernation sequence by writing 0x0000.0056 to the
HIBCTL register at offset 0x010.
7.3.5

1. Write the required RTC match value to the HIBRTCMn registers at offset 0x004 or 0x008.
2. Write the required RTC load value to the HIBRTCLD register at offset 0x00C.
3. Write any data to be retained during power cut to the HIBDATA register at offsets 0x030-0x12C.
4. Set the RTC Match/External Wake-Up and start the hibernation sequence by writing 0x0000.005F

Internal Memory
The LM3S8971 microcontroller comes with 64 KB of bit-banded SRAM and 256 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 the SRAM and Flash memories.
8.2.1
SRAM Memory
®
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 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.
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 0x2000.1000 is to be modified, the bit-band alias is calculated as:
0x2200.0000 + (0x1000 * 32) + (3 * 4) = 0x2202.000C
June 23, 2010
155
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Internal Memory
With the alias address calculated, an instruction performing a read/write to address 0x2202.000C
allows direct access to only bit 3 of the byte at address 0x2000.1000.
For details about bit-banding, please refer to Chapter 4, “Memory Map” in the ARM® Cortex™-M3
Technical Reference Manual.
8.2.2
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. An individual 32-bit word can be
programmed to change bits that are currently 1 to a 0. These blocks are paired into a set of 2-KB
blocks that can be individually protected. The protection allows blocks to 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.
See also “Serial Flash Loader” on page 607 for a preprogrammed flash-resident utility used to
download code to the flash memory of a device without the use of a debug interface.
8.2.2.1
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.
On reset, the USECRL register is loaded with a value that configures the flash timing so that it works
with the maximum clock rate of the part. If software changes the system operating frequency, the
new operating frequency minus 1 (in MHz) 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 (20-1) must be written to the USECRL register.
8.2.2.2
Flash Memory Protection
The user is provided two forms of flash protection per 2-KB flash blocks in four pairs of 32-bit wide
registers. The protection policy for each form is controlled by individual bits (per policy per block)
in the FMPPEn and FMPREn registers.
■ Flash Memory Protection Program Enable (FMPPEn): If set, the block may be programmed
(written) or erased. If cleared, the block may not be changed.
■ Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPREn): If a bit is set, the corresponding block may
be executed or read by software or debuggers. If a bit is cleared, the corresponding block may
only be executed, and contents of the memory block are prohibited from being read as data.
The policies may be combined as shown in Table 8-1 on page 156.
Table 8-1. Flash Protection Policy Combinations

This mode is used to lock the block from further modification while allowing any read or

1
1
No protection. The block may be written, erased, executed or read.
A Flash memory access that attempts to read a read-protected block (FMPREn bit is set) is prohibited
and generates a bus fault. A Flash memory access that attempts to program or erase a
program-protected block (FMPPEn bit is set) is prohibited and can optionally generate an interrupt
(by setting the AMASK bit in the Flash Controller Interrupt Mask (FCIM) register) to alert software
developers of poorly behaving software during the development and debug phases.
The factory settings for the FMPREn and FMPPEn registers are a value of 1 for all implemented
banks. These settings create a policy of open access and programmability. The register bits may
be changed by clearing 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. The changes
are committed using the Flash Memory Control (FMC) register. Details on programming these bits
are discussed in “Nonvolatile Register Programming” on page 158.
8.2.2.3
Interrupts
The Flash memory controller can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Programming Interrupt - signals when a program or erase action is complete.
■ Access Interrupt - signals when a program or erase action has been attempted on a 2-kB block
of memory that is protected by its corresponding FMPPEn bit.
The interrupt events that can trigger a controller-level interrupt are defined in the Flash Controller
Masked Interrupt Status (FCMIS) register (see page 166) by setting the corresponding MASK bits.
If interrupts are not used, the raw interrupt status is always visible via the Flash Controller Raw
Interrupt Status (FCRIS) register (see page 165).
Interrupts are always cleared (for both the FCMIS and FCRIS registers) by writing a 1 to the
corresponding bit in the Flash Controller Masked Interrupt Status and Clear (FCMISC) register
(see page 167).
8.3
Flash Memory Initialization and Configuration
8.3.1
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.
8.3.1.1
To program a 32-bit word
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 0xA442.0001) to the FMC register.
4. Poll the FMC register until the WRITE bit is cleared.
June 23, 2010
157
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Internal Memory
8.3.1.2
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 0xA442.0002) to the FMC register.
3. Poll the FMC register until the ERASE bit is cleared.
8.3.1.3
To perform a mass erase of the flash
1. Write the flash write key and the MERASE bit (a value of 0xA442.0004) to the FMC register.
2. Poll the FMC register until the MERASE bit is cleared.
8.3.2
Nonvolatile Register Programming
This section discusses how to update registers that are resident within the Flash memory itself.
These registers exist in a separate space from the main Flash memory array and are not affected
by an ERASE or MASS ERASE operation. The bits in these registers can be changed from 1 to 0
with a write operation. Prior to being committed, the register contents are unaffected by any reset
condition except power-on reset, which returns the register contents to the original value. By
committing the register values using the COMT bit in the FMC register, the register contents become
nonvolatile and are therefore retained following power cycling. Once the register contents are
committed, the contents are permanent, and they cannot be restored to their factory default values.
With the exception of the USER_DBG register, the settings in these registers can be tested before
committing them to Flash memory. For the USER_DBG register, the data to be written is loaded
into the FMD register before it is committed. The FMD register is read only and does not allow the
USER_DBG operation to be tried before committing it to nonvolatile memory.
Important: These registers can only have bits changed from 1 to 0 by user programming. Once
committed, these registers cannot be restored to their factory default values.
In addition, the USER_REG0, USER_REG1, USER_REG2, USER_REG3, and USER_DBG registers
each use bit 31 (NW) to indicate that they have not been committed and bits in the register may be
changed from 1 to 0. These five registers can only be committed once whereas the Flash memory
protection registers may be committed multiple times. Table 8-2 on page 158 provides the FMA
address required for commitment of each of the registers and the source of the data to be written
when the FMC register is written with a value of 0xA442.0008. After writing the COMT bit, the user
may poll the FMC register to wait for the commit operation to complete.

Register 3: 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 161). If the access is a write
access, the data contained in the Flash Memory Data (FMD) register (see page 162) 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.

Note:
This register is aliased for backwards compatability.
Note:
Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000.
This register stores the read-only protection bits for each 2-KB flash block (FMPPEn stores the
execute-only bits). Flash memory up to a total of 64 KB is controlled by this register. Other FMPREn
registers (if any) provide protection for other 64K blocks. This register is loaded during the power-on
reset sequence. The factory settings for the FMPREn and FMPPEn registers are a value of 1 for
all implemented banks. This achieves a policy of open access and programmability. 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. The reset value shown only applies to power-on reset; any other type of reset does
not affect this register. For additional information, see the "Flash Memory Protection" section.

Register 10: User Debug (USER_DBG), offset 0x1D0
Note:
Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000.
This register provides a write-once mechanism to disable external debugger access to the device
in addition to 27 additional bits of user-defined data. The DBG0 bit (bit 0) is set to 0 from the factory
and the DBG1 bit (bit 1) is set to 1, which enables external debuggers. Changing the DBG1 bit to
0 disables any external debugger access to the device permanently, starting with the next power-up
cycle of the device. The NW bit (bit 31) indicates that the register has not yet been committed and
is controlled through hardware to ensure that the register is only committed once. Prior to being
committed, bits can only be changed from 1 to 0. The reset value shown only applies to power-on
reset; any other type of reset does not affect this register. Once committed, this register cannot be
restored to the factory default value.

Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000.
This register provides 31 bits of user-defined data that is non-volatile and can only be committed
once. Bit 31 indicates that the register is available to be committed and is controlled through hardware
to ensure that the register is only committed once. Prior to being committed, bits can only be changed

Register 13: Flash Memory Protection Read Enable 1 (FMPRE1), offset 0x204
Note:
Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000.
This register stores the read-only protection bits for each 2-KB flash block (FMPPEn stores the
execute-only bits). Flash memory up to a total of 64 KB is controlled by this register. Other FMPREn
registers (if any) provide protection for other 64K blocks. This register is loaded during the power-on
reset sequence. The factory settings for the FMPREn and FMPPEn registers are a value of 1 for
all implemented banks. This achieves a policy of open access and programmability. 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. The reset value shown only applies to power-on reset; any other type of reset does
not affect this register. If the Flash memory size on the device is less than 64 KB, this register usually
reads as zeroes, but software should not rely on these bits to be zero. For additional information,
see the "Flash Memory Protection" section.

General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
The GPIO module is composed of eight physical GPIO blocks, each corresponding to an individual
GPIO port (Port A, Port B, Port C, Port D, Port E, Port F, Port G, Port H). The GPIO module supports
4-38 programmable input/output pins, depending on the peripherals being used.
The GPIO module has the following features:
■ 4-38 GPIOs, depending on configuration
■ 5-V-tolerant input/outputs
■ Programmable control for GPIO interrupts
– Interrupt generation masking
– Edge-triggered on rising, falling, or both
– Level-sensitive on High or Low values
■ Bit masking in both read and write operations through address lines
■ Can initiate an ADC sample sequence
■ Pins configured as digital inputs are Schmitt-triggered.
■ Programmable control for GPIO pad configuration
– Weak pull-up or pull-down resistors
– 2-mA, 4-mA, and 8-mA pad drive for digital communication; up to four pads can be configured
with an 18-mA pad drive for high-current applications
– Slew rate control for the 8-mA drive
– Open drain enables
– Digital input enables

Functional Description
Important: All GPIO pins are tri-stated by default (GPIOAFSEL=0, GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0,
and GPIOPUR=0), with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]).
The JTAG/SWD pins default to their JTAG/SWD functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1,
GPIODEN=1 and GPIOPUR=1). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting 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
9-1 on page 182). The LM3S8971 microcontroller contains eight ports and thus eight of these physical
GPIO blocks.

Data Control
The data control registers allow software to configure the operational modes of the GPIOs. The data
direction register configures the GPIO as an input or an output while the data register either captures
incoming data or drives it out to the pads.
9.1.1.1
Data Direction Operation
The GPIO Direction (GPIODIR) register (see page 190) is used to configure each individual pin as
an input or output. When the data direction bit is set to 0, the GPIO is configured as an input and
the corresponding data register bit will capture and store the value on the GPIO port. When the data
direction bit is set to 1, the GPIO is configured as an output and the corresponding data register bit
will be driven out on the GPIO port.
9.1.1.2
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 189) 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 9-2 on page 183, 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 9-3 on page 183.

Interrupt Control
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 191)
■ GPIO Interrupt Both Edges (GPIOIBE) register (see page 192)
■ GPIO Interrupt Event (GPIOIEV) register (see page 193)
Interrupts are enabled/disabled via the GPIO Interrupt Mask (GPIOIM) register (see page 194).
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 page 195 and page 196). As the name implies, the GPIOMIS register only shows interrupt
June 23, 2010
183
Texas Instruments-Production Data
General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
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.
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 (the appropriate bit of 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 appropriate bit of the GPIO Interrupt Clear (GPIOICR)
register (see page 197).
When programming the following interrupt control registers, 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.
9.1.3
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 198), 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.
9.1.4
Commit Control
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(see page 198) are not committed to storage unless the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see
page 208) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see
page 209) have been set to 1.
9.1.5
Pad Control
The pad control registers allow for GPIO pad configuration by software based on the application
requirements. The pad control registers include the GPIODR2R, GPIODR4R, GPIODR8R, GPIOODR,
GPIOPUR, GPIOPDR, GPIOSLR, and GPIODEN registers. These registers control drive strength,
open-drain configuration, pull-up and pull-down resistors, slew-rate control and digital input enable.
For special high-current applications, the GPIO output buffers may be used with the following
restrictions. With the GPIO pins configured as 8-mA output drivers, a total of four GPIO outputs may
be used to sink current loads up to 18 mA each. At 18-mA sink current loading, the VOL value is
specified as 1.2 V. The high-current GPIO package pins must be selected such that there are only
a maximum of two per side of the physical package or BGA pin group with the total number of
high-current GPIO outputs not exceeding four for the entire package.

9.1.6
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.
9.2
Initialization and Configuration
To use the GPIO, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the appropriate GPIO Port bit
field (GPIOn) in the RCGC2 register.
On reset, all GPIO pins (except for the five JTAG pins) are configured out of reset to be undriven
(tristate): GPIOAFSEL=0, GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0, and GPIOPUR=0. Table 9-1 on page 185
shows all possible configurations of the GPIO pads and the control register settings required to
achieve them. Table 9-2 on page 185 shows how a rising edge interrupt would be configured for pin
2 of a GPIO port.

GPIO Port A: 0x4000.4000

GPIO Port F: 0x4002.5000
GPIO Port G: 0x4002.6000
GPIO Port H: 0x4002.7000
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. In those
cases, writing to those unconnected bits has no effect, and reading those unconnected
bits returns no meaningful data.
Note:
The default reset value for the GPIOAFSEL, GPIOPUR, and GPIODEN registers are
0x0000.0000 for all GPIO pins, with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). These five pins default to JTAG/SWD functionality. Because of this, the default
reset value of these registers for GPIO Port B is 0x0000.0080 while the default reset value
for Port C is 0x0000.000F.
The default register type for the GPIOCR register is RO for all GPIO pins with the exception
of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). These five pins are currently the only
GPIOs that are protected by the GPIOCR register. Because of this, the register type for
GPIO Port B7 and GPIO Port C[3:0] is R/W.
The default reset value for the GPIOCR register is 0x0000.00FF for all GPIO pins, with the
exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). To ensure that the JTAG port
is not accidentally programmed as a GPIO, these five pins default to non-committable.
186
June 23, 2010

Because of this, the default reset value of GPIOCR for GPIO Port B is 0x0000.007F while
the default reset value of GPIOCR for Port C is 0x0000.00F0.

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 190).
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 182 for examples of
reads and writes.

Register 2: GPIO Direction (GPIODIR), offset 0x400
The GPIODIR register is the data direction register. Bits set to 1 in the GPIODIR register configure
the corresponding pin to be an output, while bits set to 0 configure the pins to be inputs. All bits are
cleared by a reset, meaning all GPIO pins are inputs by default.

General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
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 (the appropriate bit of 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.
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.
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(see page 198) are not committed to storage unless the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see
page 208) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see
page 209) have been set to 1.
Important: All GPIO pins are tri-stated by default (GPIOAFSEL=0, GPIODEN=0, GPIOPDR=0,
and GPIOPUR=0), with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]).
The JTAG/SWD pins default to their JTAG/SWD functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1,
GPIODEN=1 and GPIOPUR=1). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting RST puts both
groups of pins back to their default state.
Caution – 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.

The AFSEL values are defined as follows:
Value Description
0
Software control of corresponding GPIO line (GPIO mode).
1
Hardware control of corresponding GPIO line (alternate
hardware function).
Note:
The default reset value for the GPIOAFSEL,
GPIOPUR, and GPIODEN registers are 0x0000.0000
for all GPIO pins, with the exception of the five
JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). These five pins
default to JTAG/SWD functionality. Because of this,
the default reset value of these registers for GPIO
Port B is 0x0000.0080 while the default reset value
for Port C is 0x0000.000F.

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 207). 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 cleared. If open drain is selected while the
GPIO is configured as an input, the GPIO will remain an input and the open-drain selection has no
effect until the GPIO is changed to an output.

to the GPIOLOCK register re-enables the locked state. Reading the GPIOLOCK register returns
the lock status rather than the 32-bit value that was previously written. Therefore, when write accesses
are disabled, or locked, reading the GPIOLOCK register returns 0x00000001. When write accesses
are enabled, or unlocked, reading the GPIOLOCK register returns 0x00000000.

Description
0x0000.0001 GPIO Lock
A write of the value 0x1ACC.E551 unlocks the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR)
register for write access.
A write of any other value or a write to the GPIOCR register reapplies
the lock, preventing any register updates. A read of this register returns
the following values:

Register 20: GPIO Commit (GPIOCR), offset 0x524
The GPIOCR register is the commit register. The value of the GPIOCR register determines which
bits of the GPIOAFSEL register are committed when a write to the GPIOAFSEL register is performed.
If a bit in the GPIOCR register is a zero, the data being written to the corresponding bit in the
GPIOAFSEL register will not be committed and will retain its previous value. If a bit in the GPIOCR
register is a one, the data being written to the corresponding bit of the GPIOAFSEL register will be
committed to the register and will reflect the new value.
The contents of the GPIOCR register can only be modified if the GPIOLOCK register is unlocked.
Writes to the GPIOCR register are ignored if the GPIOLOCK register is locked.
Important: This register is designed to prevent accidental programming of the registers that control
connectivity to the JTAG/SWD debug hardware. By initializing the bits of the GPIOCR
register to 0 for PB7 and PC[3:0], the JTAG/SWD debug port can only be converted
to GPIOs through a deliberate set of writes to the GPIOLOCK, GPIOCR, and the
corresponding registers.
Because this protection is currently only implemented on the JTAG/SWD pins on PB7
and PC[3:0], all of the other bits in the GPIOCR registers cannot be written with 0x0.
These bits are hardwired to 0x1, ensuring that it is always possible to commit new
values to the GPIOAFSELregister bits of these other pins.

Description
GPIO Commit
On a bit-wise basis, any bit set allows the corresponding GPIOAFSEL
bit to be set to its alternate function.
Note:
The default register type for the GPIOCR register is RO for
all GPIO pins with the exception of the five JTAG/SWD pins
(PB7 and PC[3:0]). These five pins are currently the only
GPIOs that are protected by the GPIOCR register. Because
of this, the register type for GPIO Port B7 and GPIO Port
C[3:0] is R/W.
The default reset value for the GPIOCR register is
0x0000.00FF for all GPIO pins, with the exception of the five
JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). To ensure that the
JTAG port is not accidentally programmed as a GPIO, these
five pins default to non-committable. Because of this, the
default reset value of GPIOCR for GPIO Port B is
0x0000.007F while the default reset value of GPIOCR for Port
C is 0x0000.00F0.

General-Purpose Timers
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 four GPTM blocks (Timer0, Timer1,
Timer 2, and Timer 3). Each GPTM block provides two 16-bit timers/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).
In addition, timers can be used to trigger analog-to-digital conversions (ADC). The ADC 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 GPT Module is one timing resource available on the Stellaris microcontrollers. Other timer
resources include the System Timer (SysTick) (see “System Timer (SysTick)” on page 50) and the
PWM timer in the PWM module (see “PWM Timer” on page 506).
The General-Purpose Timers provide the following features:
■ Four General-Purpose Timer Modules (GPTM), each of which provides two 16-bit timers/counters.
Each GPTM can be configured to operate independently:
– As a single 32-bit timer
– As one 32-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC) to event capture
– For Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
– To trigger analog-to-digital conversions
■ 32-bit Timer modes
– Programmable one-shot timer
– Programmable periodic timer
– Real-Time Clock when using an external 32.768-KHz clock as the input
– User-enabled stalling when the controller asserts CPU Halt flag during debug
– ADC event trigger
■ 16-bit Timer modes
– General-purpose timer function with an 8-bit prescaler (for one-shot and periodic modes only)
– Programmable one-shot timer
– Programmable periodic timer
– User-enabled stalling when the controller asserts CPU Halt flag during debug
– ADC event trigger
■ 16-bit Input Capture modes
– Input edge count capture

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 235),
the GPTM TimerA Mode (GPTMTAMR) register (see page 236), and the GPTM TimerB Mode
(GPTMTBMR) register (see page 238). 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.
10.2.1
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 249) and the GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR) register
(see page 250). The prescale counters are initialized to 0x00: the GPTM TimerA Prescale
(GPTMTAPR) register (see page 253) and the GPTM TimerB Prescale (GPTMTBPR) register (see
page 254).
10.2.2
32-Bit Timer Operating Modes
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 249
■ GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR) register [15:0], see page 250
■ GPTM TimerA (GPTMTAR) register [15:0], see page 257
■ GPTM TimerB (GPTMTBR) register [15:0], see page 258
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]
10.2.2.1
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 236), and there is no need to write to the GPTM TimerB Mode (GPTMTBMR) register.
June 23, 2010
225
Texas Instruments-Production Data
General-Purpose Timers
When software writes the TAEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register (see page 240), the
timer begins counting down from its preloaded value. Once the 0x0000.0000 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 triggers when it reaches
the 0x000.0000 state. The GPTM sets the TATORIS bit in the GPTM Raw Interrupt Status
(GPTMRIS) register (see page 245), and holds it until it is cleared by writing the GPTM Interrupt
Clear (GPTMICR) register (see page 247). If the time-out interrupt is enabled in the GPTM Interrupt
Mask (GPTIMR) register (see page 243), the GPTM also sets the TATOMIS bit in the GPTM Masked
Interrupt Status (GPTMMIS) register (see page 246). The ADC trigger is enabled by setting the
TAOTE bit in GPTMCTL.
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 set, the timer freezes counting while the processor
is halted by the debugger. The timer resumes counting when the processor resumes execution.
10.2.2.2
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 0x0000.0001. All subsequent load values must be written to the GPTM TimerA
Match (GPTMTAMATCHR) register (see page 251) by the controller.
The input clock on an even CCP input 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.
When software writes the TAEN bit inthe GPTMCTL register, the counter starts counting up from its
preloaded value of 0x0000.0001. When the current count value matches the preloaded value in the
GPTMTAMATCHR register, it rolls over to a value of 0x0000.0000 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.
10.2.3
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 235). This section describes each of the GPTM 16-bit modes of
operation. TimerA and TimerB have identical modes, so a single description is given using an n to
reference both.
10.2.3.1
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.
226
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
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 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 ADC trigger is
enabled by setting the TnOTE bit in the GPTMCTL register.
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 set, the timer freezes counting while the processor
is halted by the debugger. The timer resumes counting when the processor resumes execution.
The following example shows a variety of configurations for a 16-bit free running timer while using
the prescaler. All values assume a 50-MHz clock with Tc=20 ns (clock period).

10.2.3.2
16-Bit Input Edge Count Mode
Note:
For rising-edge detection, the input signal must be High for at least two system clock periods
following the rising edge. Similarly, for falling-edge detection, the input signal must be Low
for at least two system clock periods following the falling edge. Based on this criteria, the
maximum input frequency for edge detection is 1/4 of the system frequency.
Note:
The prescaler is not available in 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 10-2 on page 228 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.

16-Bit Input Edge Time Mode
Note:
For rising-edge detection, the input signal must be High for at least two system clock periods
following the rising edge. Similarly, for falling edge detection, the input signal must be Low
for at least two system clock periods following the falling edge. Based on this criteria, the
maximum input frequency for edge detection is 1/4 of the system frequency.
Note:
The prescaler is not available in 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
either rising or falling edges, but not both. 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 GPTMCnTL register.
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 10-3 on page 229 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
Note:
The prescaler is not available in 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. In this mode, the PWM
frequency and period are synchronous events and therefore guaranteed to be glitch free. 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.
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 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 10-4 on page 230 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 TIMER0,
TIMER1, TIMER2, and TIMER3 bits in the RCGC1 register.
This section shows module initialization and configuration examples for each of the supported timer
modes.
10.3.1
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.
230
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
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).
In One-Shot mode, the timer stops counting after step 7 on page 231. To re-enable the timer, repeat
the sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
10.3.2
32-Bit Real-Time Clock (RTC) Mode
To use the RTC mode, the timer must have a 32.768-KHz input signal on an even CCP input. 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 0x0000.0000 and begins counting. If an interrupt is enabled, it does not have to be cleared.
10.3.3
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).

Texas Instruments-Production Data
General-Purpose Timers
In One-Shot mode, the timer stops counting after step 8 on page 231. To re-enable the timer, repeat
the sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
10.3.4
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.
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 step 4 on page 232
through step 9 on page 232.
10.3.5
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.
10.3.6
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.
7. 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 has the following features:
■ 32-bit down counter with a programmable load register
■ Separate watchdog clock with an enable
■ Programmable interrupt generation logic with interrupt masking
■ Lock register protection from runaway software
■ Reset generation logic with an enable/disable
■ User-enabled stalling when the controller asserts the CPU Halt flag during debug
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.

Functional Description
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. 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.
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.
260
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
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.
11.3
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 0x1ACC.E551.
11.4
Register Map
Table 11-1 on page 261 lists the Watchdog registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment

Register 1: Watchdog Load (WDTLOAD), offset 0x000
This register is the 32-bit interval value used by the 32-bit counter. When this register is written, the
value is immediately loaded and the counter restarts counting down from the new value. If the
WDTLOAD register is loaded with 0x0000.0000, an interrupt is immediately generated.

Register 3: Watchdog Control (WDTCTL), offset 0x008
This register is the watchdog control register. The watchdog timer can be configured to generate a
reset signal (on second time-out) or an interrupt on time-out.
When the watchdog interrupt has been enabled, all subsequent writes to the control register are
ignored. The only mechanism that can re-enable writes is a hardware reset.

Register 8: Watchdog Lock (WDTLOCK), offset 0xC00
Writing 0x1ACC.E551 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
0x0000.0001 (when locked; otherwise, the returned value is 0x0000.0000 (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 eight input channels,
plus an internal temperature sensor. The ADC module contains four 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 module provides the following features:
■ Eight analog input channels
■ Single-ended and differential-input configurations
■ On-chip internal temperature sensor
■ Sample rate of one million samples/second
■ Flexible, configurable analog-to-digital conversion
■ 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

Functional Description
®
The Stellaris ADC collects sample data by using a programmable sequence-based approach
instead of the traditional single or double-sampling approaches 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.
12.2.1
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 12-1 on page 284 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.

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
284
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
(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, and should 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 IEn 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.
12.2.2
Module Control
Outside of the sample sequencers, the remainder of the control logic is responsible for tasks such
as:
■ Interrupt generation
■ Sequence prioritization
■ 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.
12.2.2.1
Interrupts
The register configurations of the sample sequencers dictate which events generate raw interrupts,
but do not have control over whether the interrupt is actually sent to the interrupt controller. The
ADC module's interrupt signals are 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 the various interrupt signals, and the ADC
Interrupt Status and Clear (ADCISC) register, which shows active interrupts that are enabled by
the ADCIM register. Sequencer interrupts are cleared by writing a 1 to the corresponding IN bit in
ADCISC.
12.2.2.2
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.
June 23, 2010

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
12.2.2.3
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 SSx bits in the ADC Processor Sample Sequence Initiate (ADCPSSI) register.
Care must be taken when using the "Always" trigger. If a sequence's priority is too high, it is possible
to starve other lower priority sequences.
12.2.3
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 306). There is a single averaging circuit and all input channels receive the same
amount of averaging whether they are single-ended or differential.
12.2.4
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. An internal 3 V reference is used by the converter
resulting in sample values ranging from 0x000 at 0 V input to 0x3FF at 3 V input when in single-ended
input mode.
12.2.5
Differential Sampling
In addition to traditional single-ended sampling, the ADC module supports differential sampling of
two analog input channels. To enable differential sampling, software must set the Dn bit in the
ADCSSCTL0n register in a step's configuration nibble.
When a sequence step is configured for differential sampling, its corresponding value in the
ADCSSMUXn register must be set to one of the four differential pairs, numbered 0-3. Differential
pair 0 samples analog inputs 0 and 1; differential pair 1 samples analog inputs 2 and 3; and so on
(see Table 12-2 on page 286). The ADC does not support other differential pairings such as analog
input 0 with analog input 3. The number of differential pairs supported is dependent on the number
of analog inputs (see Table 12-2 on page 286).

The voltage sampled in differential mode is the difference between the odd and even channels:
∆V (differential voltage) = VIN_EVEN (even channels) – VIN_ODD (odd channels), therefore:
■ If ∆V = 0, then the conversion result = 0x1FF
286

■ If ∆V > 0, then the conversion result > 0x1FF (range is 0x1FF–0x3FF)
■ If ∆V < 0, then the conversion result < 0x1FF (range is 0–0x1FF)
The differential pairs assign polarities to the analog inputs: the even-numbered input is always
positive, and the odd-numbered input is always negative. In order for a valid conversion result to
appear, the negative input must be in the range of ± 1.5 V of the positive input. If an analog input
is greater than 3 V or less than 0 V (the valid range for analog inputs), the input voltage is clipped,
meaning it appears as either 3 V or 0 V, respectively, to the ADC.
Figure 12-2 on page 287 shows an example of the negative input centered at 1.5 V. In this
configuration, the differential range spans from -1.5 V to 1.5 V. Figure 12-3 on page 288 shows an
example where the negative input is centered at -0.75 V, meaning inputs on the positive input
saturate past a differential voltage of -0.75 V since the input voltage is less than 0 V. Figure
12-4 on page 288 shows an example of the negative input centered at 2.25 V, where inputs on the
positive channel saturate past a differential voltage of 0.75 V since the input voltage would be greater
than 3 V.

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 319).

Internal Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor serves two primary purposes: 1) to notify the system that internal temperature
is too high or low for reliable operation, and 2) to provide temperature measurements for calibration
of the Hibernate module RTC trim value.
The temperature sensor does not have a separate enable, since it also contains the bandgap
reference and must always be enabled. The reference is supplied to other analog modules; not just
the ADC.
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 12-5 on page 289.

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). Using unsupported frequencies can cause faulty operation in the
ADC module.
12.3.1
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 0x0001.0000 to the RCGC0 register (see page 112).
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.

12.3.2
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 ASENn 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 ASENn bit in the
ADCACTSS register.

Register 12: ADC Sample Sequence Control 0 (ADCSSCTL0), offset 0x044
This register contains the configuration information for each sample for a sequence executed with
a sample sequencer. When configuring a sample sequence, the END bit must be set at some point,
whether it be after the first sample, last sample, or any sample in between. This register is 32-bits
wide and contains information for eight possible samples.

Description
8th Sample Temp Sensor Select
This bit is used during the eighth sample of the sample sequence and
and specifies the input source of the sample.
When set, the temperature sensor is read.
When clear, the input pin specified by the ADCSSMUX register is read.

8th Sample Interrupt Enable
This 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.
When this bit is clear, the raw interrupt is not asserted.
It is legal to have multiple samples within a sequence generate interrupts.
29
END7
R/W
0
8th Sample is End of Sequence
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.
28
D7
R/W
0
8th Sample Diff Input Select
The D7 bit indicates that the analog input is to be differentially sampled.
The corresponding ADCSSMUXx nibble must be set to the pair number
"i", where the paired inputs are "2i and 2i+1". The temperature sensor
does not have a differential option. When set, the analog inputs are
differentially sampled.

Important: Use caution when reading this register. Performing a read may change bit status.
This register contains the conversion results for samples collected with the sample sequencer (the
ADCSSFIFO0 register is used for Sample Sequencer 0, ADCSSFIFO1 for Sequencer 1,
ADCSSFIFO2 for Sequencer 2, and ADCSSFIFO3 for Sequencer 3). Reads of this register return
conversion result data in the order sample 0, sample 1, and so on, until the FIFO is empty. If the
FIFO is not properly handled by software, overflow and underflow conditions are registered in the
ADCOSTAT and ADCUSTAT registers.

Register 27: ADC Test Mode Loopback (ADCTMLB), offset 0x100
This register provides loopback operation within the digital logic of the ADC, which can be useful in
debugging software without having to provide actual analog stimulus. This test mode is entered by
writing a value of 0x0000.0001 to this register. When data is read from the FIFO in loopback mode,
the read-only portion of this register is returned.

Functional Description
®
Each 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 339). 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.
The UART peripheral also includes a serial IR (SIR) encoder/decoder block that can be connected
to an infrared transceiver to implement an IrDA SIR physical layer. The SIR function is programmed
using the UARTCTL register.
13.2.1
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 13-2 on page 322 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 335) and the 6-bit fractional part is loaded with the UART Fractional Baud-Rate Divisor
(UARTFBRD) register (see page 336). 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 = UARTSysClk / (16 * Baud Rate)
where UARTSysClk is the system clock connected to the UART.
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 337), 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

13.2.3
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 332) 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 (the UnRx 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 321).
The start bit is valid if UnRx 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 330). 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 UnRx 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.
13.2.4
Serial IR (SIR)
The UART peripheral includes an IrDA serial-IR (SIR) encoder/decoder block. The IrDA SIR block
provides functionality that converts between an asynchronous UART data stream, and half-duplex
serial SIR interface. No analog processing is performed on-chip. The role of the SIR block is to
provide a digital encoded output and decoded input to the UART. The UART signal pins can be
connected to an infrared transceiver to implement an IrDA SIR physical layer link. The SIR block
has two modes of operation:
■ In normal IrDA mode, a zero logic level is transmitted as high pulse of 3/16th duration of the
selected baud rate bit period on the output pin, while logic one levels are transmitted as a static
LOW signal. These levels control the driver of an infrared transmitter, sending a pulse of light
for each zero. On the reception side, the incoming light pulses energize the photo transistor base
of the receiver, pulling its output LOW. This drives the UART input pin LOW.
■ In low-power IrDA mode, the width of the transmitted infrared pulse is set to three times the
period of the internally generated IrLPBaud16 signal (1.63 µs, assuming a nominal 1.8432 MHz
frequency) by changing the appropriate bit in the UARTCR register. See page 334 for more
information on IrDA low-power pulse-duration configuration.
Figure 13-3 on page 324 shows the UART transmit and receive signals, with and without IrDA
modulation.

In both normal and low-power IrDA modes:
■ During transmission, the UART data bit is used as the base for encoding
■ During reception, the decoded bits are transferred to the UART receive logic
The IrDA SIR physical layer specifies a half-duplex communication link, with a minimum 10 ms delay
between transmission and reception. This delay must be generated by software because it is not
automatically supported by the UART. The delay is required because the infrared receiver electronics
might become biased, or even saturated from the optical power coupled from the adjacent transmitter
LED. This delay is known as latency, or receiver setup time.
If the application does not require the use of the UnRx signal, the GPIO pin that has the UnRx signal
as an alternate function must be configured as the UnRx signal and pulled High.
13.2.5
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 328). 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 337).
FIFO status can be monitored via the UART Flag (UARTFR) register (see page 332) 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 341). Both FIFOs can be individually configured to
trigger interrupts at different levels. Available configurations include 1/8, ¼, ½, ¾, and 7/8. For
example, if the ¼ 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
½ mark.
13.2.6
Interrupts
The UART can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
324
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
■ Overrun Error
■ Break Error
■ Parity Error
■ Framing Error
■ 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 346).
The interrupt events that can trigger a controller-level interrupt are defined in the UART Interrupt
Mask (UARTIM ) register (see page 343) 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 345).
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 347).
The receive timeout interrupt is asserted when the receive FIFO is not empty, and no further data
is received over a 32-bit period. The receive timeout interrupt is cleared either when the FIFO
becomes empty through reading all the data (or by reading the holding register), or when a 1 is
written to the corresponding bit in the UARTICR register.
13.2.7
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 339). In loopback mode,
data transmitted on UnTx is received on the UnRx input.
13.2.8
IrDA SIR block
The IrDA SIR block contains an IrDA serial IR (SIR) protocol encoder/decoder. When enabled, the
SIR block uses the UnTx and UnRx pins for the SIR protocol, which should be connected to an IR
transceiver.
The SIR block can receive and transmit, but it is only half-duplex so it cannot do both at the same
time. Transmission must be stopped before data can be received. The IrDA SIR physical layer
specifies a minimum 10-ms delay between transmission and reception.
13.3
Initialization and Configuration
To use the UART, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the UART0 bit in the RCGC1
register.
This section discusses the steps that are required to use a UART module. For this example, the
UART clock is assumed to be 20 MHz and the desired UART configuration is:
■ 115200 baud rate
June 23, 2010
325
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs)
■ 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 322, 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 335) should be set to 10.
The value to be loaded into the UARTFBRD register (see page 336) 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.
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
0x0000.0060).
5. Enable the UART by setting the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register.
13.4
Register Map
Table 13-1 on page 326 lists the UART registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to that UART’s base address:
■ UART0: 0x4000.C000
Note:
The UART must be disabled (see the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register on page 339)
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
Important: Use caution when reading this register. Performing a read may change bit status.
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.

This bit is set to 1 when a break condition is detected, indicating that
the receive data input was held Low for longer than a full-word
transmission time (defined as start, data, parity, and stop bits).
In FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of
the FIFO. When a break occurs, only one 0 character is loaded into the
FIFO. The next character is only enabled after the received data input
goes to a 1 (marking state) and the next valid start bit is received.

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.
The UARTRSR register cannot be written.
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 IrDA Low-Power Register (UARTILPR), offset 0x020
The UARTILPR register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores the low-power counter divisor
value used to derive the low-power SIR pulse width clock by dividing down the system clock (SysClk).
All the bits are cleared to 0 when reset.
The internal IrLPBaud16 clock is generated by dividing down SysClk according to the low-power
divisor value written to UARTILPR. The duration of SIR pulses generated when low-power mode
is enabled is three times the period of the IrLPBaud16 clock. The low-power divisor value is
calculated as follows:
ILPDVSR = SysClk / FIrLPBaud16
where FIrLPBaud16 is nominally 1.8432 MHz.
You must choose the divisor so that 1.42 MHz < FIrLPBaud16 < 2.12 MHz, which results in a low-power
pulse duration of 1.41–2.11 μs (three times the period of IrLPBaud16). The minimum frequency
of IrLPBaud16 ensures that pulses less than one period of IrLPBaud16 are rejected, but that
pulses greater than 1.4 μs are accepted as valid pulses.
Note:
Zero is an illegal value. Programming a zero value results in no IrLPBaud16 pulses being
generated.

Register 8: UART Control (UARTCTL), offset 0x030
The UARTCTL register is the control register. All the bits are cleared on reset except for the
Transmit Enable (TXE) and Receive Enable (RXE) bits, which are set to 1.
To enable the UART module, the UARTEN bit must be set to 1. If software requires a configuration
change in the module, the UARTEN bit must be cleared before the configuration changes are written.
If the UART is disabled during a transmit or receive operation, the current transaction is completed
prior to the UART stopping.
Note:
The UARTCTL register should not be changed while the UART is enabled or else the results
are unpredictable. The following sequence is recommended for making changes to the
UARTCTL register.
1. Disable the UART.
2. Wait for the end of transmission or reception of the current character.
3. Flush the transmit FIFO by disabling bit 4 (FEN) in the line control register (UARTLCRH).
4. Reprogram the control register.
5. Enable the UART.

UART SIR Low Power Mode
This bit selects the IrDA encoding mode. If this bit is cleared to 0,
low-level bits are transmitted as an active High pulse with a width of

with a pulse width which is 3 times the period of the IrLPBaud16 input

but might reduce transmission distances. See page 334 for more

Register 9: 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.

The UARTIM register is the interrupt mask set/clear register.
On a read, this register gives the current value of the mask on the relevant interrupt. Writing a 1 to
a bit allows the corresponding raw interrupt signal to be routed to the interrupt controller. Writing a
0 prevents the raw interrupt signal from being sent to the interrupt controller.

Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
®
The Stellaris Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a master or slave interface for synchronous
serial communication with peripheral devices that have either Freescale SPI, MICROWIRE, or Texas
Instruments synchronous serial interfaces.
®
The Stellaris SSI module has the following features:
■ Master or slave operation
■ Programmable clock bit rate and prescale
■ Separate transmit and receive FIFOs, 16 bits wide, 8 locations deep
■ Programmable interface operation for Freescale SPI, MICROWIRE, or Texas Instruments
synchronous serial interfaces
■ Programmable data frame size from 4 to 16 bits
■ Internal loopback test mode for diagnostic/debug testing

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
June 23, 2010
361
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
internal FIFO memories allowing up to eight 16-bit values to be stored independently in both transmit
and receive modes.
14.2.1
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 input clock (FSysClk). 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 380). 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 373).
The frequency of the output clock SSIClk is defined by:
SSIClk = FSysClk / (CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR))
Note:
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 “Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)” on page 601 to view SSI timing parameters.
14.2.2
FIFO Operation
14.2.2.1
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 377), 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.
In slave mode, the SSI transmits data each time the master initiates a transaction. If the transmit
FIFO is empty and the master initiates, the slave transmits the 8th most recent value in the transmit
FIFO. If less than 8 values have been written to the transmit FIFO since the SSI module clock was
enabled using the SSI bit in the RGCG1 register, then 0 is transmitted. Care should be taken to
ensure that valid data is in the FIFO as needed. The SSI can be configured to generate an interrupt
or a µDMA request when the FIFO is empty.
14.2.2.2
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.
14.2.3
Interrupts
The SSI can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Transmit FIFO service
■ Receive FIFO service
362
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
■ Receive FIFO time-out
■ Receive FIFO overrun
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 381). 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 383 and page 384, respectively).
14.2.4
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.
14.2.4.1

In this mode, SSIClk and SSIFss are forced Low, and the transmit data line SSITx is tristated

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.

back-to-back frames are transmitted.

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.

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
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 14-12 on page 370 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 0x0000.0000.
b. For slave mode (output enabled), set the SSICR1 register to 0x0000.0004.
c. For slave mode (output disabled), set the SSICR1 register to 0x0000.000C.
3. Configure the clock prescale divisor by writing the SSICPSR register.
4. Write the SSICR0 register with the following configuration:
370
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
■ 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 0x0000.0000.
3. Write the SSICPSR register with a value of 0x0000.0002.
4. Write the SSICR0 register with a value of 0x0000.09C7.
5. The SSI is then enabled by setting the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register to 1.

Register 3: SSI Data (SSIDR), offset 0x008
Important: Use caution when reading this register. Performing a read may change bit status.
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.

Controller Area Network (CAN) Module

Controller Area Network (CAN) Module
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a multicast, shared serial bus standard for connecting electronic
control units (ECUs). CAN was specifically designed to be robust in electromagnetically-noisy
environments and can utilize a differential balanced line like RS-485 or a more robust twisted-pair
wire. Originally created for automotive purposes, it is also used in many embedded control
applications (such as industrial and medical). Bit rates up to 1Mbps are possible at network lengths
less than 40 meters. Decreased bit rates allow longer network distances (for example, 125 Kbps at
500 meters).
®
The Stellaris CAN controller supports the following features:
■ CAN protocol version 2.0 part A/B
■ Bit rates up to 1 Mbps
■ 32 message objects with individual identifier masks
■ Maskable interrupt
■ Disable Automatic Retransmission mode for Time-Triggered CAN (TTCAN) applications
■ Programmable Loopback mode for self-test operation
■ Programmable FIFO mode enables storage of multiple message objects
■ Gluelessly attaches to an external CAN interface through the CANnTX and CANnRX signals

Functional Description
®
The Stellaris CAN controller conforms to the CAN protocol version 2.0 (parts A and B). Message
transfers that include data, remote, error, and overload frames with an 11-bit identifier (standard)
or a 29-bit identifier (extended) are supported. Transfer rates can be programmed up to 1 Mbps.
The CAN module consists of three major parts:
■ CAN protocol controller and message handler
■ Message memory
■ CAN register interface
June 23, 2010

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Controller Area Network (CAN) Module
A data frame contains data for transmission, whereas a remote frame contains no data and is used
to request the transmission of a specific message object. The CAN data/remote frame is constructed
as shown in Figure 15-2 on page 400.

CAN Data Frame
The protocol controller transfers and receives the serial data from the CAN bus and passes the data
on to the message handler. The message handler then loads this information into the appropriate
message object based on the current filtering and identifiers in the message object memory. The
message handler is also responsible for generating interrupts based on events on the CAN bus.
The message object memory is a set of 32 identical memory blocks that hold the current configuration,
status, and actual data for each message object. These are accessed via either of the CAN message
object register interfaces.
®
®
The message memory is not directly accessible in the Stellaris memory map, so the Stellaris CAN
controller provides an interface to communicate with the message memory via two CAN interface
register sets for communicating with the message objects. As there is no direct access to the
message object memory, these two interfaces must be used to read or write to each message object.
The two message object interfaces allow parallel access to the CAN controller message objects
when multiple objects may have new information that must be processed. In general, one interface
is used for transmit data and one for receive data.
15.2.1
Initialization
Software initialization is started by setting the INIT bit in the CAN Control (CANCTL) register (with
software or by a hardware reset) or by going bus-off, which occurs when the transmitter's error
counter exceeds a count of 255. While INIT is set, all message transfers to and from the CAN bus
are stopped and the CANnTX signal is held High. Entering the initialization state does not change
the configuration of the CAN controller, the message objects, or the error counters. However, some
configuration registers are only accessible while in the initialization state.
To initialize the CAN controller, set the CAN Bit Timing (CANBIT) register and configure each
message object. If a message object is not needed, label it as not valid by clearing the MSGVAL bit
400
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
in the CAN IFn Arbitration 2 (CANIFnARB2) register. Otherwise, the whole message object must
be initialized, as the fields of the message object may not have valid information, causing unexpected
results. Both the INIT and CCE bits in the CANCTL register must be set in order to access the
CANBIT register and the CAN Baud Rate Prescaler Extension (CANBRPE) register to configure
the bit timing. To leave the initialization state, the INIT bit must be cleared. Afterwards, the internal
Bit Stream Processor (BSP) synchronizes itself to the data transfer on the CAN bus by waiting for
the occurrence of a sequence of 11 consecutive recessive bits (indicating a bus idle condition)
before it takes part in bus activities and starts message transfers. Message object initialization does
not require the CAN to be in the initialization state and can be done on the fly. However, message
objects should all be configured to particular identifiers or set to not valid before message transfer
starts. To change the configuration of a message object during normal operation, clear the MSGVAL
bit in the CANIFnARB2 register to indicate that the message object is not valid during the change.
When the configuration is completed, set the MSGVAL bit again to indicate that the message object
is once again valid.
15.2.2
Operation
There are two sets of CAN Interface Registers (CANIF1x and CANIF2x), which are used to access
the message objects in the Message RAM. The CAN controller coordinates transfers to and from
the Message RAM to and from the registers. The two sets are independent and identical and can
be used to queue transactions. Generally, one interface is used to transmit data and one is used to
receive data.
Once the CAN module is initialized and the INIT bit in the CANCTL register is cleared, the CAN
module synchronizes itself to the CAN bus and starts the message transfer. As each message is
received, it goes through the message handler's filtering process, and if it passes through the filter,
is stored in the message object specified by the MNUM bit in the CAN IFn Command Request
(CANIFnCRQ) register. The whole message (including all arbitration bits, data-length code, and
eight data bytes) is stored in the message object. If the Identifier Mask (the MSK bits in the CAN IFn
Mask 1 and CAN IFn Mask 2 (CANIFnMSKn) registers) is used, the arbitration bits that are masked
to "don't care" may be overwritten in the message object.
The CPU may read or write each message at any time via the CAN Interface Registers. The message
handler guarantees data consistency in case of concurrent accesses.
The transmission of message objects is under the control of the software that is managing the CAN
hardware. These can be message objects used for one-time data transfers, or permanent message
objects used to respond in a more periodic manner. Permanent message objects have all arbitration
and control set up, and only the data bytes are updated. At the start of transmission, the appropriate
TXRQST bit in the CAN Transmission Request n (CANTXRQn) register and the NEWDAT bit in the
CAN New Data n (CANNWDAn) register are set. If several transmit messages are assigned to the
same message object (when the number of message objects is not sufficient), the whole message
object has to be configured before the transmission of this message is requested.
The transmission of any number of message objects may be requested at the same time; they are
transmitted according to their internal priority, which is based on the message identifier (MNUM) for
the message object, with 1 being the highest priority and 32 being the lowest priority. Messages
may be updated or set to not valid any time, even when their requested transmission is still pending.
The old data is discarded when a message is updated before its pending transmission has started.
Depending on the configuration of the message object, the transmission of a message may be
requested autonomously by the reception of a remote frame with a matching identifier.
Transmission can be automatically started by the reception of a matching remote frame. To enable
this mode, set the RMTEN bit in the CAN IFn Message Control (CANIFnMCTL) register. A matching
received remote frame causes the TXRQST bit to be set and the message object automatically

Controller Area Network (CAN) Module
transfers its data or generates an interrupt indicating a remote frame was requested. This can be
strictly a single message identifier, or it can be a range of values specified in the message object.
The CAN mask registers, CANIFnMSKn, configure which groups of frames are identified as remote
frame requests. The UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register enables the MSK bits in the
CANIFnMSKn register to filter which frames are identified as a remote frame request. The MXTD
bit in the CANIFnMSK2 register should be set if a remote frame request is expected to be triggered
by 29-bit extended identifiers.
15.2.3
Transmitting Message Objects
If the internal transmit shift register of the CAN module is ready for loading, and if there is no data
transfer occurring between the CAN Interface Registers and message RAM, the valid message
object with the highest priority that has a pending transmission request is loaded into the transmit
shift register by the message handler and the transmission is started. The message object's NEWDAT
bit in the CANNWDAn register is cleared. After a successful transmission, and if no new data was
written to the message object since the start of the transmission, the TXRQST bit in the CANTXRQn
register is cleared. If the CAN controller is set up to interrupt upon a successful transmission of a
message object, (the TXIE bit in the CAN IFn Message Control (CANIFnMCTL) register is set),
the INTPND bit in the CANIFnMCTL register is set after a successful transmission. If the CAN
module has lost the arbitration or if an error occurred during the transmission, the message is
re-transmitted as soon as the CAN bus is free again. If, meanwhile, the transmission of a message
with higher priority has been requested, the messages are transmitted in the order of their priority.
15.2.4
Configuring a Transmit Message Object
The following steps illustrate how to configure a transmit message object.
1. In the CAN IFn Command Mask (CANIFnCMASK) register:
■ Set the WRNRD bit to specify a write to the CANIFnCMASK register; specify whether to
transfer the IDMASK, DIR, and MXTD of the message object into the CAN IFn registers using
the MASK bit
■ Specify whether to transfer the ID, DIR, XTD, and MSGVAL of the message object into the
interface registers using the ARB bit
■ Specify whether to transfer the control bits into the interface registers using the CONTROL
bit
■ Specify whether to clear the INTPND bit in the CANIFnMCTL register using the CLRINTPND
bit
■ Specify whether to clear the NEWDAT bit in the CANNWDAn register using the NEWDAT bit
■ Specify which bits to transfer using the DATAA and DATAB bits
2. In the CANIFnMSK1 register, use the MSK[15:0] bits to specify which of the bits in the 29-bit
or 11-bit message identifier are used for acceptance filtering. Note that MSK[15:0] in this
register are used for bits [15:0] of the 29-bit message identifier and are not used for an 11-bit
identifier. A value of 0x00 enables all messages to pass through the acceptance filtering. Also
note that in order for these bits to be used for acceptance filtering, they must be enabled by
setting the UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register.
402

3. In the CANIFnMSK2 register, use the MSK[12:0] bits to specify which of the bits in the 29-bit
or 11-bit message identifier are used for acceptance filtering. Note that MSK[12:0] are used
for bits [28:16] of the 29-bit message identifier; whereas MSK[12:2] are used for bits [10:0] of
the 11-bit message identifier. Use the MXTD and MDIR bits to specify whether to use XTD and
DIR for acceptance filtering. A value of 0x00 enables all messages to pass through the
acceptance filtering. Also note that in order for these bits to be used for acceptance filtering,
they must be enabled by setting the UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register.
4. For a 29-bit identifier, configure ID[15:0] in the CANIFnARB1 register to are used for bits
[15:0] of the message identifier and ID[12:0] in the CANIFnARB2 register to are used for
bits [28:16] of the message identifier. Set the XTD bit to indicate an extended identifier; set the
DIR bit to indicate transmit; and set the MSGVAL bit to indicate that the message object is valid.
5. For an 11-bit identifier, disregard the CANIFnARB1 register and configure ID[12:2] in the
CANIFnARB2 register to are used for bits [10:0] of the message identifier. Clear the XTD bit to
indicate a standard identifier; set the DIR bit to indicate transmit; and set the MSGVAL bit to
indicate that the message object is valid.
6. In the CANIFnMCTL register:
■ Optionally set the UMASK bit to enable the mask (MSK, MXTD, and MDIR specified in the
CANIFnMSK1 and CANIFnMSK2 registers) for acceptance filtering
■ Optionally set the TXIE bit to enable the INTPND bit to be set after a successful transmission
■ Optionally set the RMTEN bit to enable the TXRQST bit to be set upon the reception of a
matching remote frame allowing automatic transmission
■ Set the EOB bit for a single message object;
■ Set the DLC[3:0] field to specify the size of the data frame. Take care during this
configuration not to set the NEWDAT, MSGLST, INTPND or TXRQST bits.
7. Load the data to be transmitted into the CAN IFn Data (CANIFnDA1, CANIFnDA2, CANIFnDB1,
CANIFnDB2) or (CANIFnDATAA and CANIFnDATAB) registers. Byte 0 of the CAN data frame
is stored in DATA[7:0] in the CANIFnDA1 register.
8. Program the number of the message object to be transmitted in the MNUM field in the CAN IFn
Command Request (CANIFnCRQ) register.
9. When everything is properly configured, set the TXRQST bit in the CANIFnMCTL register. Once
this bit is set, the message object is available to be transmitted, depending on priority and bus
availability. Note that setting the RMTEN bit in the CANIFnMCTL register can also start message
transmission if a matching remote frame has been received.
15.2.5
Updating a Transmit Message Object
The CPU may update the data bytes of a Transmit Message Object any time via the CAN Interface
Registers and neither the MSGVAL bit in the CANIFnARB2 register nor the TXRQST bits in the
CANIFnMCTL register have to be cleared before the update.
Even if only some of the data bytes are to be updated, all four bytes of the corresponding
CANIFnDAn/CANIFnDBn register have to be valid before the content of that register is transferred
to the message object. Either the CPU must write all four bytes into the CANIFnDAn/CANIFnDBn
June 23, 2010
403
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Controller Area Network (CAN) Module
register or the message object is transferred to the CANIFnDAn/CANIFnDBn register before the
CPU writes the new data bytes.
In order to only update the data in a message object, the WRNRD, DATAA and DATAB bits in the
CANIFnMSKn register are set, followed by writing the updated data into CANIFnDA1, CANIFnDA2,
CANIFnDB1, and CANIFnDB2 registers, and then the number of the message object is written to
the MNUM field in the CAN IFn Command Request (CANIFnCRQ) register. To begin transmission
of the new data as soon as possible, set the TXRQST bit in the CANIFnMSKn register.
To prevent the clearing of the TXRQST bit in the CANIFnMCTL register at the end of a transmission
that may already be in progress while the data is updated, the NEWDAT and TXRQST bits have to be
set at the same time in the CANIFnMCTL register. When these bits are set at the same time, NEWDAT
is cleared as soon as the new transmission has started.
15.2.6
Accepting Received Message Objects
When the arbitration and control field (the ID and XTD bits in the CANIFnARB2 and the RMTEN and
DLC[3:0] bits of the CANIFnMCTL register) of an incoming message is completely shifted into
the CAN controller, the message handling capability of the controller starts scanning the message
RAM for a matching valid message object. To scan the message RAM for a matching message
object, the controller uses the acceptance filtering programmed through the mask bits in the
CANIFnMSKn register and enabled using the UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register. Each valid
message object, starting with object 1, is compared with the incoming message to locate a matching
message object in the message RAM. If a match occurs, the scanning is stopped and the message
handler proceeds depending on whether it is a data frame or remote frame that was received.
15.2.7
Receiving a Data Frame
The message handler stores the message from the CAN controller receive shift register into the
matching message object in the message RAM. The data bytes, all arbitration bits, and the DLC bits
are all stored into the corresponding message object. In this manner, the data bytes are connected
with the identifier even if arbitration masks are used. The NEWDAT bit of the CANIFnMCTL register
is set to indicate that new data has been received. The CPU should clear this bit when it reads the
message object to indicate to the controller that the message has been received, and the buffer is
free to receive more messages. If the CAN controller receives a message and the NEWDAT bit is
already set, the MSGLST bit in the CANIFnMCTL register is set to indicate that the previous data
was lost. If the system requires an interrupt upon successful reception of a frame, the RXIE bit of
the CANIFnMCTL register should be set. In this case, the INTPND bit of the same register is set,
causing the CANINT register to point to the message object that just received a message. The
TXRQST bit of this message object should be cleared to prevent the transmission of a remote frame.
15.2.8
Receiving a Remote Frame
A remote frame contains no data, but instead specifies which object should be transmitted. When
a remote frame is received, three different configurations of the matching message object have to
be considered:

Receive/Transmit Priority
The receive/transmit priority for the message objects is controlled by the message number. Message
object 1 has the highest priority, while message object 32 has the lowest priority. If more than one
transmission request is pending, the message objects are transmitted in order based on the message
object with the lowest message number. This should not be confused with the message identifier
as that priority is enforced by the CAN bus. This means that if message object 1 and message object
2 both have valid messages that need to be transmitted, message object 1 will always be transmitted
first regardless of the message identifier in the message object itself.
15.2.10
Configuring a Receive Message Object
The following steps illustrate how to configure a receive message object.
1. Program the CAN IFn Command Mask (CANIFnCMASK) register as described in the
“Configuring a Transmit Message Object” on page 402 section, except that the WRNRD bit is set
to specify a write to the message RAM.
2. Program the CANIFnMSK1and CANIFnMSK2 registers as described in the “Configuring a
Transmit Message Object” on page 402 section to configure which bits are used for acceptance
filtering. Note that in order for these bits to be used for acceptance filtering, they must be enabled
by setting the UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register.
3. In the CANIFnMSK2 register, use the MSK[12:0] bits to specify which of the bits in the 29-bit
or 11-bit message identifier are used for acceptance filtering. Note that MSK[12:0] are used
for bits [28:16] of the 29-bit message identifier; whereas MSK[12:2] are used for bits [10:0] of
the 11-bit message identifier. Use the MXTD and MDIR bits to specify whether to use XTD and
DIR for acceptance filtering. A value of 0x00 enables all messages to pass through the
acceptance filtering. Also note that in order for these bits to be used for acceptance filtering,
they must be enabled by setting the UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register.
4. Program the CANIFnARB1 and CANIFnARB2 registers as described in the “Configuring a
Transmit Message Object” on page 402 section to program XTD and ID bits for the message
identifier to be received; set the MSGVAL bit to indicate a valid message; and clear the DIR bit
to specify receive.
June 23, 2010

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Controller Area Network (CAN) Module
5. In the CANIFnMCTL register:
■ Optionally set the UMASK bit to enable the mask (MSK, MXTD, and MDIR specified in the
CANIFnMSK1 and CANIFnMSK2 registers) for acceptance filtering
■ Optionally set the RXIE bit to enable the INTPND bit to be set after a successful reception
■ Clear the RMTEN bit to leave the TXRQST bit unchanged
■ Set the EOB bit for a single message object
■ Set the DLC[3:0] field to specify the size of the data frame
Take care during this configuration not to set the NEWDAT, MSGLST, INTPND or TXRQST bits.
6. Program the number of the message object to be received in the MNUM field in the CAN IFn
Command Request (CANIFnCRQ) register. Reception of the message object begins as soon
as a matching frame is available on the CAN bus.
When the message handler stores a data frame in the message object, it stores the received Data
Length Code and eight data bytes in the CANIFnDA1, CANIFnDA2, CANIFnDB1, and CANIFnDB2
register. Byte 0 of the CAN data frame is stored in DATA[7:0] in the CANIFnDA1 register. If the
Data Length Code is less than 8, the remaining bytes of the message object are overwritten by
unspecified values.
The CAN mask registers can be used to allow groups of data frames to be received by a message
object. The CAN mask registers, CANIFnMSKn, configure which groups of frames are received by
a message object. The UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register enables the MSK bits in the
CANIFnMSKn register to filter which frames are received. The MXTD bit in the CANIFnMSK2 register
should be set if only 29-bit extended identifiers are expected by this message object.
15.2.11
Handling of Received Message Objects
The CPU may read a received message any time via the CAN Interface registers because the data
consistency is guaranteed by the message handler state machine.
Typically, the CPU first writes 0x007F to the CANIFnCMSK register and then writes the number of
the message object to the CANIFnCRQ register. That combination transfers the whole received
message from the message RAM into the Message Buffer registers (CANIFnMSKn, CANIFnARBn,
and CANIFnMCTL). Additionally, the NEWDAT and INTPND bits are cleared in the message RAM,
acknowledging that the message has been read and clearing the pending interrupt generated by
this message object.
If the message object uses masks for acceptance filtering, the CANIFnARBn registers show the
full, unmasked ID for the received message.
The NEWDAT bit in the CANIFnMCTL register shows whether a new message has been received
since the last time this message object was read. The MSGLST bit in the CANIFnMCTL register
shows whether more than one message has been received since the last time this message object
was read. MSGLST is not automatically cleared, and should be cleared by software after reading its
status.
Using a remote frame, the CPU may request new data from another CAN node on the CAN bus.
Setting the TXRQST bit of a receive object causes the transmission of a remote frame with the receive
object's identifier. This remote frame triggers the other CAN node to start the transmission of the
matching data frame. If the matching data frame is received before the remote frame could be
406
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
transmitted, the TXRQST bit is automatically reset. This prevents the possible loss of data when the
other device on the CAN bus has already transmitted the data slightly earlier than expected.
15.2.11.1 Configuration of a FIFO Buffer
With the exception of the EOB bit in the CANIFnMCTL register, the configuration of receive message
objects belonging to a FIFO buffer is the same as the configuration of a single receive message
object (see “Configuring a Receive Message Object” on page 405). To concatenate two or more
message objects into a FIFO buffer, the identifiers and masks (if used) of these message objects
have to be programmed to matching values. Due to the implicit priority of the message objects, the
message object with the lowest message object number is the first message object in a FIFO buffer.
The EOB bit of all message objects of a FIFO buffer except the last one must be cleared. The EOB
bit of the last message object of a FIFO buffer is set, indicating it is the last entry in the buffer.
15.2.11.2 Reception of Messages with FIFO Buffers
Received messages with identifiers matching to a FIFO buffer are stored starting with the message
object with the lowest message number. When a message is stored into a message object of a
FIFO buffer, the NEWDAT of the CANIFnMCTL register bit of this message object is set. By setting
NEWDAT while EOB is clear, the message object is locked and cannot be written to by the message
handler until the CPU has cleared the NEWDAT bit. Messages are stored into a FIFO buffer until the
last message object of this FIFO buffer is reached. If none of the preceding message objects has
been released by clearing the NEWDAT bit, all further messages for this FIFO buffer will be written
into the last message object of the FIFO buffer and therefore overwrite previous messages.
15.2.11.3 Reading from a FIFO Buffer
When the CPU transfers the contents of a message object from a FIFO buffer by writing its number
to the CANIFnCRQ, the TXRQST and CLRINTPND bits in the CANIFnCMSK register should be set
such that the NEWDAT and INTPEND bits in the CANIFnMCTL register are cleared after the read.
The values of these bits in the CANIFnMCTL register always reflect the status of the message
object before the bits are cleared. To assure the correct function of a FIFO buffer, the CPU should
read out the message objects starting with the message object with the lowest message number.
When reading from the FIFO buffer, the user should be aware that a new received message could
be placed in the location of any message object for which the NEWDAT bit of the CANIFnMCTL
register. As a result, the order of the received messages in the FIFO is not guaranteed. Figure
15-3 on page 408 shows how a set of message objects which are concatenated to a FIFO Buffer
can be handled by the CPU.

15.2.12
Handling of Interrupts
If several interrupts are pending, the CAN Interrupt (CANINT) register points to the pending interrupt
with the highest priority, disregarding their chronological order. The status interrupt has the highest
priority. Among the message interrupts, the message object's interrupt with the lowest message
number has the highest priority. A message interrupt is cleared by clearing the message object's
INTPND bit in the CANIFnMCTL register or by reading the CAN Status (CANSTS) register. The
status Interrupt is cleared by reading the CANSTS register.
The interrupt identifier INTID in the CANINT register indicates the cause of the interrupt. When no
interrupt is pending, the register reads as 0x0000. If the value of the INTID field is different from 0,
then there is an interrupt pending. If the IE bit is set in the CANCTL register, the interrupt line to
the CPU is active. The interrupt line remains active until the INTID field is 0, meaning that all interrupt
sources have been cleared (the cause of the interrupt is reset), or until IE is cleared, which disables
interrupts from the CAN controller.
The INTID field of the CANINT register points to the pending message interrupt with the highest
interrupt priority. The SIE bit in the CANCTL register controls whether a change of the RXOK, TXOK,
and LEC bits in the CANSTS can cause an interrupt. The EIE bit in the CANCTLregister controls
whether a change of the BOFF and EWARN bits in the CANSTS can cause an interrupt. The IE bit
in the CANCTL controls whether any interrupt from the CAN controller actually generates an interrupt
to the microcontroller's interrupt controller. The CANINT register is updated even when the IE bit
in the CANCTL register is clear, but the interrupt will not be indicated to the CPU.
A value of 0x8000 in the CANINT register indicates that an interrupt is pending because the CAN
module has updated, but not necessarily changed, the CANSTS , indicating that either an error or
status interrupt has been generated. A write access to the CANSTS register can clear the RXOK,
TXOK, and LEC bits in that same register; however, the only way to clear the source of a status
interrupt is to read the CANSTS register.
There are two ways to determine the source of an interrupt during interrupt handling. The first is to
read the INTID bit in the CANINT register to determine the highest priority interrupt that is pending,
and the second is to read the CAN Message Interrupt Pending (CANMSGnINT) register to see
all of the message objects that have pending interrupts.
An interrupt service routine reading the message that is the source of the interrupt may read the
message and clear the message object's INTPND bit at the same time by setting the CLRINTPND
bit in the CANIFnCMSK register. Once the INTPND bit has been cleared, the CANINT register
contains the message number for the next message object with a pending interrupt.
15.2.13
Test Mode
A Test Mode is provided, which allows various diagnostics to be performed. Test Mode is entered
by setting the TEST bit CANCTL register. Once in Test Mode, the TX[1:0], LBACK, SILENT and
BASIC bits in the CAN Test (CANTST) register can be used to put the CAN controller into the
various diagnostic modes. The RX bit in the CANTST register allows monitoring of the CANnRX
signal. All CANTST register functions are disabled when the TEST bit is cleared.
15.2.13.1 Silent Mode
Silent Mode can be used to analyze the traffic on a CAN bus without affecting it by the transmission
of dominant bits (Acknowledge Bits, Error Frames). The CAN Controller is put in Silent Mode setting
the SILENT bit in the CANTST register. In Silent Mode, the CAN controller is able to receive valid
data frames and valid remote frames, but it sends only recessive bits on the CAN bus and it cannot
start a transmission. If the CAN Controller is required to send a dominant bit (ACK bit, overload flag,
June 23, 2010
409
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Controller Area Network (CAN) Module
or active error flag), the bit is rerouted internally so that the CAN Controller monitors this dominant
bit, although the CAN bus remains in recessive state.
15.2.13.2 Loopback Mode
Loopback mode is useful for self-test functions. In Loopback Mode, the CAN Controller internally
routes the CANnTX signal on to the CANnRX signal and treats its own transmitted messages as
received messages and stores them (if they pass acceptance filtering) into the message buffer. The
CAN Controller is put in Loopback Mode by setting the LBACK bit in the CANTST register. To be
independent from external stimulation, the CAN Controller ignores acknowledge errors (a recessive
bit sampled in the acknowledge slot of a data/remote frame) in Loopback Mode. The actual value
of the CANnRX signal is disregarded by the CAN Controller. The transmitted messages can be
monitored on the CANnTX signal.
15.2.13.3 Loopback Combined with Silent Mode
Loopback Mode and Silent Mode can be combined to allow the CAN Controller to be tested without
affecting a running CAN system connected to the CANnTX and CANnRX signals. In this mode, the
CANnRX signal is disconnected from the CAN Controller and the CANnTX signal is held recessive.
This mode is enabled by setting both the LBACK and SILENT bits in the CANTST register.
15.2.13.4 Basic Mode
Basic Mode allows the CAN Controller to be operated without the Message RAM. In Basic Mode,
The CANIF1 registers are used as the transmit buffer. The transmission of the contents of the IF1
registers is requested by setting the BUSY bit of the CANIF1CRQ register. The CANIF1 registers
are locked while the BUSY bit is set. The BUSY bit indicates that a transmission is pending. As soon
the CAN bus is idle, the CANIF1 registers are loaded into the shift register of the CAN Controller
and transmission is started. When the transmission has completed, the BUSY bit is cleared and the
locked CANIF1 registers are released. A pending transmission can be aborted at any time by clearing
the BUSY bit in the CANIF1CRQ register while the CANIF1 registers are locked. If the CPU has
cleared the BUSY bit, a possible retransmission in case of lost arbitration or an error is disabled.
The CANIF2 Registers are used as a receive buffer. After the reception of a message, the contents
of the shift register is stored into the CANIF2 registers, without any acceptance filtering. Additionally,
the actual contents of the shift register can be monitored during the message transfer. Each time a
read message object is initiated by setting the BUSY bit of the CANIF2CRQ register, the contents
of the shift register are stored into the CANIF2 registers.
In Basic Mode, all message-object-related control and status bits and of the control bits of the
CANIFnCMSK registers are not evaluated. The message number of the CANIFnCRQ registers is
also not evaluated. In the CANIF2MCTL register, the NEWDAT and MSGLST bits retain their function,
the DLC[3:0] field shows the received DLC, the other control bits are cleared.
Basic Mode is enabled by setting the BASIC bit in the CANTST register.
15.2.13.5 Transmit Control
Software can directly override control of the CANnTX signal in four different ways.
■ CANnTX is controlled by the CAN Controller
■ The sample point is driven on the CANnTX signal to monitor the bit timing
■ CANnTX drives a low value
410
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
■ CANnTX drives a high value
The last two functions, combined with the readable CAN receive pin CANnRX, can be used to check
the physical layer of the CAN bus.
The Transmit Control function is enabled by programming the TX[1:0] field in the CANTST register.
The three test functions for the CANnTX signal interfere with all CAN protocol functions. TX[1:0]
must be cleared when CAN message transfer or Loopback Mode, Silent Mode, or Basic Mode are
selected.

Bit Timing Configuration Error Considerations
Even if minor errors in the configuration of the CAN bit timing do not result in immediate failure, the
performance of a CAN network can be reduced significantly. In many cases, the CAN bit
synchronization amends a faulty configuration of the CAN bit timing to such a degree that only
occasionally an error frame is generated. In the case of arbitration, however, when two or more
CAN nodes simultaneously try to transmit a frame, a misplaced sample point may cause one of the
transmitters to become error passive. The analysis of such sporadic errors requires a detailed
knowledge of the CAN bit synchronization inside a CAN node and of the CAN nodes' interaction on
the CAN bus.
15.2.15
Bit Time and Bit Rate
The CAN system supports bit rates in the range of lower than 1 Kbps up to 1000 Kbps. Each member
of the CAN network has its own clock generator. The timing parameter of the bit time can be
configured individually for each CAN node, creating a common bit rate even though the CAN nodes'
oscillator periods may be different.
Because of small variations in frequency caused by changes in temperature or voltage and by
deteriorating components, these oscillators are not absolutely stable. As long as the variations
remain inside a specific oscillator's tolerance range, the CAN nodes are able to compensate for the
different bit rates by periodically resynchronizing to the bit stream.
According to the CAN specification, the bit time is divided into four segments (see Figure
15-4 on page 412): the Synchronization Segment, the Propagation Time Segment, the Phase Buffer
Segment 1, and the Phase Buffer Segment 2. Each segment consists of a specific, programmable
number of time quanta (see Table 15-1 on page 412). The length of the time quantum (tq), which is
the basic time unit of the bit time, is defined by the CAN controller's input clock (fsys) and the Baud
Rate Prescaler (BRP):
tq = BRP / fsys
The fsys input clock is 8 MHz.
The Synchronization Segment Sync is that part of the bit time where edges of the CAN bus level
are expected to occur; the distance between an edge that occurs outside of Sync and the Sync is
called the phase error of that edge.
The Propagation Time Segment Prop is intended to compensate for the physical delay times within
the CAN network.
The Phase Buffer Segments Phase1 and Phase2 surround the Sample Point.
The (Re-)Synchronization Jump Width (SJW) defines how far a resynchronization may move the
Sample Point inside the limits defined by the Phase Buffer Segments to compensate for edge phase
errors.

A given bit rate may be met by different bit-time configurations, but for the proper function of the
CAN network, the physical delay times and the oscillator's tolerance range have to be considered.

The bit timing configuration is programmed in two register bytes in the CANBIT register. In the
CANBIT register, the four components TSEG2, TSEG1, SJW, and BRP have to be programmed to a
numerical value that is one less than its functional value; so instead of values in the range of [1..n],
values in the range of [0..n-1] are programmed. That way, for example, SJW (functional range of
[1..4]) is represented by only two bits in the SJW bit field. Table 15-2 shows the relationship between
the CANBIT register values and the parameters.

The data in the CANBIT register is the configuration input of the CAN protocol controller. The baud
rate prescaler (configured by the BRP field) defines the length of the time quantum, the basic time
unit of the bit time; the bit timing logic (configured by TSEG1, TSEG2, and SJW) defines the number
of time quanta in the bit time.
The processing of the bit time, the calculation of the position of the sample point, and occasional
synchronizations are controlled by the CAN controller and are evaluated once per time quantum.
The CAN controller translates messages to and from frames. In addition, the controller generates
and discards the enclosing fixed format bits, inserts and extracts stuff bits, calculates and checks
the CRC code, performs the error management, and decides which type of synchronization is to be
used. The bit value is received or transmitted at the sample point. The information processing time
(IPT) is the time after the sample point needed to calculate the next bit to be transmitted on the CAN
bus. The IPT includes any of the following: retrieving the next data bit, handling a CRC bit, determining
if bit stuffing is required, generating an error flag or simply going idle.
The IPT is application-specific but may not be longer than 2 tq; the CAN's IPT is 0 tq. Its length is
the lower limit of the programmed length of Phase2. In case of synchronization, Phase2 may be
shortened to a value less than IPT, which does not affect bus timing.
15.2.16
Calculating the Bit Timing Parameters
Usually, the calculation of the bit timing configuration starts with a required bit rate or bit time. The
resulting bit time (1/bit rate) must be an integer multiple of the system clock period.
The bit time may consist of 4 to 25 time quanta. Several combinations may lead to the required bit
time, allowing iterations of the following steps.
The first part of the bit time to be defined is Prop. Its length depends on the delay times measured
in the system. A maximum bus length as well as a maximum node delay has to be defined for
expandable CAN bus systems. The resulting time for Prop is converted into time quanta (rounded
up to the nearest integer multiple of tq).
Sync is 1 tq long (fixed), which leaves (bit time - Prop - 1) tq for the two Phase Buffer Segments. If
the number of remaining tq is even, the Phase Buffer Segments have the same length, that is,
Phase2 = Phase1, else Phase2 = Phase1 + 1.
The minimum nominal length of Phase2 has to be regarded as well. Phase2 may not be shorter
than the CAN controller's Information Processing Time, which is, depending on the actual
implementation, in the range of [0..2] tq.
The length of the synchronization jump width is set to the least of 4, Phase1 or Phase2.
The oscillator tolerance range necessary for the resulting configuration is calculated by the formula
given below:
(1 − df ) × fnom ≤ fosc ≤ (1 + df ) × fnom
where:

(Phase _ seg1, Phase _ seg2) min

■ tbit = Bit Time
■ dfmax = Maximum difference between two oscillators
If more than one configuration is possible, that configuration allowing the highest oscillator tolerance
range should be chosen.
CAN nodes with different system clocks require different configurations to come to the same bit
rate. The calculation of the propagation time in the CAN network, based on the nodes with the
longest delay times, is done once for the whole network.
The CAN system's oscillator tolerance range is limited by the node with the lowest tolerance range.
The calculation may show that bus length or bit rate have to be decreased or that the oscillator
frequencies' stability has to be increased in order to find a protocol-compliant configuration of the
CAN bit timing.

Register 1: CAN Control (CANCTL), offset 0x000
This control register initializes the module and enables test mode and interrupts.
The bus-off recovery sequence (see CAN Specification Rev. 2.0) cannot be shortened by setting
or clearing INIT. If the device goes bus-off, it sets INIT, stopping all bus activities. Once INIT
has been cleared by the CPU, the device then waits for 129 occurrences of Bus Idle (129 * 11
consecutive High bits) before resuming normal operations. At the end of the bus-off recovery
sequence, the Error Management Counters are reset.
During the waiting time after INIT is cleared, each time a sequence of 11 High bits has been
monitored, a BITERROR0 code is written to the CANSTS register (the LEC field = 0x5), enabling
the CPU to readily check whether the CAN bus is stuck Low or continuously disturbed, and to monitor
the proceeding of the bus-off recovery sequence.

Register 2: CAN Status (CANSTS), offset 0x004
Important: Use caution when reading this register. Performing a read may change bit status.
The status register contains information for interrupt servicing such as Bus-Off, error count threshold,
and error types.
The LEC field holds the code that indicates the type of the last error to occur on the CAN bus. This
field is cleared when a message has been transferred (reception or transmission) without error. The
unused error code 7 may be written by the CPU to manually set this field to an invalid error so that
it can be checked for a change later.
An error interrupt is generated by the BOFF and EWARN bits and a status interrupt is generated by
the RXOK, TXOK, and LEC bits, if the corresponding enable bits in the CAN Control (CANCTL)
register are set. A change of the EPASS bit or a write to the RXOK, TXOK, or LEC bits does not
generate an interrupt.
Reading the CAN Status (CANSTS) register clears the CAN Interrupt (CANINT) register, if it is
pending.

More than 5 equal bits in a sequence have occurred in a part
of a received message where this is not allowed.

A fixed format part of the received frame has the wrong
format.
0x3
ACK Error
The message transmitted was not acknowledged by another
node.
0x4
Bit 1 Error
When a message is transmitted, the CAN controller monitors
the data lines to detect any conflicts. When the arbitration
field is transmitted, data conflicts are a part of the arbitration
protocol. When other frame fields are transmitted, data
conflicts are considered errors.
A Bit 1 Error indicates that the device wanted to send a High
level (logical 1) but the monitored bus value was Low (logical
0).
0x5
Bit 0 Error
A Bit 0 Error indicates that the device wanted to send a Low
level (logical 0), but the monitored bus value was High (logical
1).
During bus-off recovery, this status is set each time a
sequence of 11 High bits has been monitored. This enables
the CPU to monitor the proceeding of the bus-off recovery
sequence without any disturbances to the bus.
0x6
CRC Error
The CRC checksum was incorrect in the received message,
indicating that the calculated value received did not match
the calculated CRC of the data.
0x7
No Event
When the LEC bit shows this value, no CAN bus event was
detected since the CPU wrote this value to LEC.

Time Segment after Sample Point
0x00-0x07: The actual interpretation by the hardware of this value is
such that one more than the value programmed here is used.
So, for example, a reset value of 0x2 defines that there is 3 (2+1) bit

The bit time quanta is defined by the BRP field.

The bit time quanta is define by the BRP field.

0x00-0x03: The actual interpretation by the hardware of this value is

During the start of frame (SOF), if the CAN controller detects a phase
error (misalignment), it can adjust the length of TSEG2 or TSEG1 by the
value in SJW. So the reset value of 0 adjusts the length by 1 bit time
quanta.

This register indicates the source of the interrupt.
If several interrupts are pending, the CAN Interrupt (CANINT) register points to the pending interrupt
with the highest priority, disregarding the order in which the interrupts occurred. An interrupt remains
pending until the CPU has cleared it. If the INTID field is not 0x0000 (the default) and the IE bit in
the CANCTL register is set, the interrupt is active. The interrupt line remains active until the INTID
field is cleared by reading the CANSTS register, or until the IE bit in the CANCTL register is cleared.
Note:
Reading the CAN Status (CANSTS) register clears the CAN Interrupt (CANINT) register,
if it is pending.

Block Diagram
As shown in Figure 16-1 on page 447, the Ethernet Controller is functionally divided into two layers:
the Media Access Controller (MAC) layer and the Network Physical (PHY) layer. These layers
correspond to the OSI model layers 2 and 1. The CPU accesses the Ethernet Controller via the
MAC layer. The MAC layer provides transmit and receive processing for Ethernet frames. The MAC
layer also provides the interface to the PHY layer via an internal Media Independent Interface (MII).
The PHY layer communicates with the Ethernet bus.

Functional Description
Note:
A 12.4-kΩ resistor should be connected between the ERBIAS and ground. The 12.4-kΩ
resistor should have a 1% tolerance and should be located in close proximity to the ERBIAS
pin. Power dissipation in the resistor is low, so a chip resistor of any geometry may be used.
The functional description of the Ethernet Controller is discussed in the following sections.
16.2.1
MAC Operation
The following sections decribe the operation of the MAC unit, including an overview of the Ethernet
frame format, the MAC layer FIFOs, Ethernet transmission and reception options, and LED indicators.

16.2.1.1
Ethernet Frame Format
Ethernet data is carried by Ethernet frames. The basic frame format is shown in Figure
16-3 on page 448.

The seven fields of the frame are transmitted from left to right. The bits within the frame are
transmitted from least to most significant bit.
■ Preamble
The Preamble field is used to synchronize with the received frame’s timing. The preamble is 7
octets long.
■ Start Frame Delimiter (SFD)
The SFD field follows the preamble pattern and indicates the start of the frame. Its value is
1010.1011.
■ Destination Address (DA)
This field specifies destination addresses for which the frame is intended. The LSB (bit 16 of DA
oct 1 in the frame, see Table 16-1 on page 449) of the DA determines whether the address is an
individual (0), or group/multicast (1) address.
■ Source Address (SA)
The source address field identifies the station from which the frame was initiated.
■ Length/Type Field
The meaning of this field depends on its numeric value. This field can be interpreted as length
or type code. The maximum length of the data field is 1500 octets. If the value of the Length/Type
field is less than or equal to 1500 decimal, it indicates the number of MAC client data octets. If
the value of this field is greater than or equal to 1536 decimal, then it is type interpretation. The
meaning of the Length/Type field when the value is between 1500 and 1536 decimal is unspecified
by the IEEE 802.3 standard. However, the Ethernet Controller assumes type interpretation if the
value of the Length/Type field is greater than 1500 decimal. The definition of the Type field is
specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard. The first of the two octets in this field is most significant.
■ Data
The data field is a sequence of octets that is at least 46 in length, up to 1500 in length. Full data
transparency is provided so any values can appear in this field. A minimum frame size of 46
octets is required to meet the IEEE standard. If the frame size is too small, the Ethernet Controller
automatically appends extra bits (a pad), thus the pad can have a size of 0 to 46 octets. Data
padding can be disabled by clearing the PADEN bit in the Ethernet MAC Transmit Control
(MACTCTL) register.
For the Ethernet Controller, data sent/received can be larger than 1500 bytes without causing
a Frame Too Long error. Instead, a FIFO overrun error is reported using the FOV bit in the
448
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
Ethernet MAC Raw Interrupt Status(MACRIS) register when the frame received is too large
to fit into the Ethernet Controller’s 2K RAM.
■ Frame Check Sequence (FCS)
The frame check sequence carries the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value. The CRC is
computed over the destination address, source address, length/type, and data (including pad)
fields using the CRC-32 algorithm. The Ethernet Controller computes the FCS value one nibble
at a time. For transmitted frames, this field is automatically inserted by the MAC layer, unless
disabled by clearing the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register. For received frames, this field is
automatically checked. If the FCS does not pass, the frame is not placed in the RX FIFO, unless
the FCS check is disabled by clearing the BADCRC bit in the MACRCTL register.
16.2.1.2
MAC Layer FIFOs
The Ethernet Controller is capable of simultaneous transmission and reception. This feature is
enabled by setting the DUPLEX bit in the MACTCTL register.
For Ethernet frame transmission, a 2 KB transmit FIFO is provided that can be used to store a single
frame. While the IEEE 802.3 specification limits the size of an Ethernet frame's payload section to
1500 Bytes, the Ethernet Controller places no such limit. The full buffer can be used, for a payload
of up to 2032 bytes (as the first 16 bytes in the FIFO are reserved for destination address, source
address and length/type information).
For Ethernet frame reception, a 2-KB receive FIFO is provided that can be used to store multiple
frames, up to a maximum of 31 frames. If a frame is received, and there is insufficient space in the
RX FIFO, an overflow error is indicated using the FOV bit in the MACRIS register.
For details regarding the TX and RX FIFO layout, refer to Table 16-1 on page 449. Please note the
following difference between TX and RX FIFO layout. For the TX FIFO, the Data Length field in the
first FIFO word refers to the Ethernet frame data payload, as shown in the 5th to nth FIFO positions.
For the RX FIFO, the Frame Length field is the total length of the received Ethernet frame, including
the Length/Type bytes and the FCS bits.
If FCS generation is disabled by clearing the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register, the last word in the
TX FIFO must contain the FCS bytes for the frame that has been written to the FIFO.
Also note that if the length of the data payload section is not a multiple of 4, the FCS field is not be
aligned on a word boundary in the FIFO. However, for the RX FIFO the beginning of the next frame
is always on a word boundary.

If the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register is clear, the FCS bytes must be written with the
correct CRC. If the CRC bit is set, the Ethernet Controller automatically writes the FCS bytes.
Ethernet Transmission Options
At the MAC layer, the transmitter can be configured for both full-duplex and half-duplex operation
by using the DUPLEX bit in the MACTCTL register.
The Ethernet Controller automatically generates and inserts the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) at
the end of the transmit frame when the CRC bit in the MACTCTL register is set. However, for test
purposes, this feature can be disabled in order to generate a frame with an invalid CRC by clearing
the CRC bit.
The IEEE 802.3 specification requires that the Ethernet frame payload section be a minimum of 46
bytes. The Ethernet Controller automatically pads the data section if the payload data section loaded
into the FIFO is less than the minimum 46 bytes when the PADEN bit in the MACTCTL register is
set. This feature can be disabled by clearing the PADEN bit.
The transmitter must be enabled by setting the TXEN bit in the TCTL register.
16.2.1.4
Ethernet Reception Options
The Ethernet Controller RX FIFO should be cleared during software initialization. The receiver should
first be disabled by clearing the RXEN bit in the Ethernet MAC Receive Control (MACRCTL)
register, then the FIFO can be cleared by setting the RSTFIFO bit in the MACRCTL register.
The receiver automatically rejects frames that contain bad CRC values in the FCS field. In this case,
a Receive Error interrupt is generated and the receive data is lost. To accept all frames, clear the
BADCRC bit in the MACRCTL register.
In normal operating mode, the receiver accepts only those frames that have a destination address
that matches the address programmed into the Ethernet MAC Individual Address 0 (MACIA0)
450
June 23, 2010
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S8971 Microcontroller
and Ethernet MAC Individual Address 1 (MACIA1) registers. However, the Ethernet receiver can
also be configured for Promiscuous and Multicast modes by setting the PRMS and AMUL bits in the
MACRCTL register.
16.2.2
Internal MII Operation
For the MII management interface to function properly, the MDIO signal must be connected through
a 10k Ω pull-up resistor to the +3.3 V supply. Failure to connect this pull-up resistor prevents
management transactions on this internal MII to function. Note that it is possible for data transmission
across the MII to still function since the PHY layer auto-negotiates the link parameters by default.
For the MII management interface to function properly, the internal clock must be divided down from
the system clock to a frequency no greater than 2.5 MHz. The Ethernet MAC Management Divider
(MACMDV) register contains the divider used for scaling down the system clock. See page 470 for
more details about the use of this register.
16.2.3
PHY Operation
The Physical Layer (PHY) in the Ethernet Controller includes integrated ENDECs,
scrambler/descrambler, dual-speed clock recovery, and full-featured auto-negotiation functions.
The transmitter includes an on-chip pulse shaper and a low-power line driver. The receiver has an
adaptive equalizer and a baseline restoration circuit required for accurate clock and data recovery.
The transceiver interfaces to Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (Cat-5 UTP) cabling for 100BASE-TX
applications, and Category-3 unshielded twisted pair (Cat-3 UTP) for 10BASE-T applications. The
Ethernet Controller is connected to the line media via dual 1:1 isolation transformers. No external
filter is required.
16.2.3.1
Clock Selection
The Ethernet Controller has an on-chip crystal oscillator which can also be driven by an external
oscillator. In this mode of operation, a 25-MHz crystal should be connected between the XTALPPHY
and XTALNPHY pins. Alternatively, an external 25-MHz clock input can be connected to the XTALPPHY
pin. In this mode of operation, a crystal is not required and the XTALNPHY pin must be tied to ground.
16.2.3.2
Auto-Negotiation
The Ethernet Controller supports the auto-negotiation functions of Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3
standard for 10/100 Mbps operation over copper wiring. This function is controlled via register
settings. The auto-negotiation function is turned on by default, and the ANEGEN bit in the Ethernet
PHY Management Register 0 - Control (MR0) is set after reset. Software can disable the
auto-negotiation function by clearing the ANEGEN bit. The contents of the Ethernet PHY Management
Register - Auto-Negotiation Advertisement (MR4) are reflected to the Ethernet Controller’s link
partner during auto-negotiation via fast-link pulse coding.
Once auto-negotiation is complete, the DPLX and RATE bits in the Ethernet PHY Management
Register 18 - Diagnostic (MR18) register reflect the actual speed and duplex condition. If
auto-negotiation fails to establish a link for any reason, the ANEGF bit in the MR18 register reflects
this and auto-negotiation restarts from the beginning. Setting the RANEG bit in the MR0 register also
causes auto-negotiation to restart.
16.2.3.3
Polarity Correction
The Ethernet Controller is capable of either automatic or manual polarity reversal for 10BASE-T
and auto-negotiation functions. Bits 4 and 5 (RVSPOL and APOL) in the Ethernet PHY Management
Register 16 - Vendor-Specific (MR16) control this feature. The default is automatic mode, where
June 23, 2010
451
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Ethernet Controller
APOL is clear and RVSPOL indicates if the detection circuitry has inverted the input signal. To enter
manual mode, APOL should be set. In manual mode RVSPOL controls the signal polarity.
16.2.3.4
MDI/MDI-X Configuration
The Ethernet Controller supports the MDI/MDI-X configuration as defined in IEEE 802.3-2002
specification. The MDI/MDI-X configuration eliminates the need for cross-over cables when connecting
to another device, such as a hub. The algorithm is controlled via settings in the Ethernet PHY
Management Register 24 - MDI/MIDIX Control (MR24). Refer to page 492 for additional details
about these settings.
16.2.3.5
Power Management
The PHY has two power-saving modes:
■ Power-Down
■ Receive Power Management
Power-down mode is activated by setting the PWRDN bit in the MR0 register. When the PHY is in
power-down mode, it consumes minimum power. While in the power-down state, the Ethernet
Controller still responds to management transactions.
Receive power management (RXCC mode) is activated by setting the RXCC bit in the MR16 register.
In this mode of operation, the adaptive equalizer, the clock recovery phase lock loop (PLL), and all
other receive circuitry are powered down. As soon as a valid signal is detected, all circuits are
automatically powered up to resume normal operation. Note that the RXCC mode is not supported
during 10BASE-T operation.
16.2.3.6
LED Indicators
The Ethernet Controller supports two LED signals that can be used to indicate various states of
operation. These signals are mapped to the LED0 and LED1 pins. By default, these pins are
configured as GPIO signals (PF3 and PF2). For the PHY layer to drive these signals, they must be
reconfigured to their alternate function. See “General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)” on page 181
for additional details. The function of these pins is programmable via the PHY layer Ethernet PHY
Management Register 23 - LED Configuration (MR23). Refer to page 491 for additional details on
how to program these LED functions.
16.2.4
Interrupts
The Ethernet Controller can generate an interrupt for one or more of the following conditions:
■ A frame has been received into an empty RX FIFO
■ A frame transmission error has occurred
■ A frame has been transmitted successfully
■ A frame has been received with inadequate room in the RX FIFO (overrun)
■ A frame has been received with one or more error conditions (for example, FCS failed)
■ An MII management transaction between the MAC and PHY layers has completed
■ One or more of the following PHY layer conditions occurs:

Software Configuration
To use the Ethernet Controller, it must be enabled by setting the EPHY0 and EMAC0 bits in the
RCGC2 register (see page 124). The following steps can then be used to configure the Ethernet
Controller for basic operation.
1. Program the MACDIV register to obtain a 2.5 MHz clock (or less) on the internal MII. Assuming
a 20-MHz system clock, the MACDIV value should be 0x03 or greater.
2. Program the MACIA0 and MACIA1 register for address filtering.
3. Program the MACTCTL register for Auto CRC generation, padding, and full-duplex operation
using a value of 0x16.
4. Program the MACRCTL register to flush the receive FIFO and reject frames with bad FCS using
a value of 0x18.
5. Enable both the Transmitter and Receive by setting the LSB in both the MACTCTL and
MACRCTL registers.
6. To transmit a frame, write the frame into the TX FIFO using the Ethernet MAC Data (MACDATA)
register. Then set the NEWTX bit in the Ethernet Mac Transmission Request (MACTR) register
to initiate the transmit process. When the NEWTX bit has been cleared, the TX FIFO is available
for the next transmit frame.
7. To receive a frame, wait for the NPR field in the Ethernet MAC Number of Packets (MACNP)
register to be non-zero. Then begin reading the frame from the RX FIFO by using the MACDATA
register. To ensure that the entire packet is received, either use the DriverLib EthernetPacketGet()
API or compare the number of bytes received to the Length field from the frame to determine
when the packet has been completely read.

Ethernet Register Map
Table 16-2 on page 455 lists the Ethernet MAC registers. All addresses given are relative to the
Ethernet MAC base address of 0x4004.8000.
The IEEE 802.3 standard specifies a register set for controlling and gathering status from the PHY
layer. The registers are collectively known as the MII Management registers and are detailed in
Section 22.2.4 of the IEEE 802.3 specification. Table 16-2 on page 455 also lists these MII
Management registers. All addresses given are absolute and are written directly to the REGADR field
of the Ethernet MAC Management Control (MACMCTL) register. The format of registers 0 to 15
are defined by the IEEE specification and are common to all PHY layer implementations. The only
variance allowed is for features that may or may not be supported by a specific PHY implementation.

Register 5: Ethernet MAC Data (MACDATA), offset 0x010
Important: Use caution when reading this register. Performing a read may change bit status.
This register enables software to access the TX and RX FIFOs.
Reads from this register return the data stored in the RX FIFO from the location indicated by the
read pointer. The read pointer is then auto incremented to the next RX FIFO location. Reading from
the RX FIFO when a frame has not been received or is in the process of being received will return
indeterminate data and not increment the read pointer.
Writes to this register store the data in the TX FIFO at the location indicated by the write pointer.
The write pointer is the auto incremented to the next TX FIFO location. Writing more data into the
TX FIFO than indicated in the length field will result in the data being lost. Writing less data into the
TX FIFO than indicated in the length field will result in indeterminate data being appended to the
end of the frame to achieve the indicated length. Attempting to write the next frame into the TX FIFO
before transmission of the first has completed will result in the data being lost.
There is no mechanism for randomly accessing bytes in either the RX or TX FIFOs. Data must be
read from the RX FIFO sequentially and stored in a buffer for further processing. Once a read has
been performed, the data in the FIFO cannot be re-read. Data must be written to the TX FIFO
sequentially. If an error is made in placing the frame into the TX FIFO, the write pointer can be reset
to the start of the TX FIFO by writing the TXER bit of the MACIACK register and then the data
re-written.

Register 8: Ethernet MAC Threshold (MACTHR), offset 0x01C
In order to increase the transmission rate, it is possible to program the Ethernet Controller to begin
transmission of the next frame prior to the completion of the transmission of the current frame. Note:
Extreme care must be used when implementing this function. Software must be able to guarantee
that the complete frame is able to be stored in the transmission FIFO prior to the completion of the
transmission frame.
This register enables software to set the threshold level at which the transmission of the frame
begins. If the THRESH bits are set to 0x3F, which is the reset value, the early transmission feature
is disabled, and transmission does not start until the NEWTX bit is set in the MACTR register.
Writing the THRESH bits to any value besides 0x3F enables the early transmission feature. Once
the byte count of data in the TX FIFO reaches the value derived from the THRESH bits as shown
below, transmission of the frame begins. When THRESH is set to all 0s, transmission of the frame
begins after 4 bytes (a single write) are stored in the TX FIFO. Each increment of the THRESH bit
field waits for an additional 32 bytes of data (eight writes) to be stored in the TX FIFO. Therefore,
a value of 0x01 causes the transmitter to wait for 36 bytes of data to be written while a value of 0x02
makes the wait equal to 68 bytes of written data. In general, early transmission starts when:
Number of Bytes >= 4 (THRESH x 8 + 1)
Reaching the threshold level has the same effect as setting the NEWTX bit in the MACTR register.
Transmission of the frame begins and then the number of bytes indicated by the Data Length field
is transmitted. Because under-run checking is not performed, if any event, such as an interrupt,
delays the filling of the FIFO, the tail pointer may reach and pass the write pointer in the TX FIFO.
In this event, indeterminate values are transmitted rather than the end of the frame. Therefore,
sufficient bus bandwidth for writing to the TX FIFO must be guaranteed by the software.
If a frame smaller than the threshold level must be sent, the NEWTX bit in the MACTR register must
be set with an explicit write. This initiates the transmission of the frame even though the threshold
limit has not been reached.
If the threshold level is set too small, it is possible for the transmitter to underrun. If this occurs, the
transmit frame is aborted, and a transmit error occurs. Note that in this case, the TXER bit in the
MACRIS is not set meaning that the CPU receives no indication that a transmit error happened.

Note:
The FCS bytes are not included in the NPR value. As a result, the NPR value could be zero
before the FCS bytes are read from the FIFO. In addition, a new packet could be received
before the NPR value reaches zero. To ensure that the entire packet is received, either use
the DriverLib EthernetPacketGet() API or compare the number of bytes received to the

MII Management Register Descriptions
The IEEE 802.3 standard specifies a register set for controlling and gathering status from the PHY
layer. The registers are collectively known as the MII Management registers. All addresses given
are absolute. Addresses not listed are reserved; these addresses should not be written to and any
data read should be ignored. Also see “Ethernet MAC Register Descriptions” on page 456.

Receive Data Polarity
This bit indicates whether the receive data pulses are being inverted.
If the APOL bit is 0, then the RVSPOL bit is read-only and indicates
whether the auto-polarity circuitry is reversing the polarity. In this case,
if RVSPOL is set, it indicates that the receive data is inverted; if RVSPOL
is clear, it indicates that the receive data is not inverted.
If the APOL bit is 1, then the RVSPOL bit is writable and software can
force the receive data to be inverted. Setting RVSPOL to 1 forces the
receive data to be inverted; clearing RVSPOL does not invert the receive
data.

Analog Comparator
An analog comparator is a peripheral that compares two analog voltages, and provides a logical
output that signals the comparison result.
Note:
Not all comparators have the option to drive an output pin.
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.
®
The Stellaris Analog Comparators module has the following features:
■ One integrated analog comparator
■ Configurable for output to drive an output pin, generate an interrupt, or initiate an ADC sample
sequence
■ Compare external pin input to external pin input or to internal programmable voltage reference
■ 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

Analog Comparator
The comparator compares the VIN- and VIN+ inputs to produce an output, VOUT.
VIN- < VIN+, VOUT = 1
VIN- > VIN+, VOUT = 0
As shown in Figure 17-2 on page 494, 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.

ACCTL
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).
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: The ASRCP bits in the ACCTLn register must be set before using the analog
comparators.
17.2.1
Internal Reference Programming
The structure of the internal reference is shown in Figure 17-3 on page 494. This is controlled by a
single configuration register (ACREFCTL). Table 17-1 on page 495 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 an analog comparator to read back its output value
from an internal register.
1. Enable the analog comparator 0 clock by writing a value of 0x0010.0000 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 0x0000.030C.
4. Configure comparator 0 to use the internal voltage reference and to not invert the output by
writing the ACCTL0 register with the value of 0x0000.040C.
5. Delay for some time.
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)
18
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 Stellaris PWM module consists of three PWM generator blocks and a control block. 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
(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
blocks are managed by the output control block before being passed to the device pins.
®
The Stellaris 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. Three generator blocks can
also generate the full six channels of gate controls required by a 3-phase inverter bridge.
®
Each Stellaris PWM module has the following features:
■ Three PWM generator blocks, each with one 16-bit counter, two PWM comparators, a PWM
signal generator, a dead-band generator, and an interrupt/ADC-trigger selector
■ One fault input in hardware to promote low-latency shutdown
■ One 16-bit counter
– Runs in Down or Up/Down mode
– Output frequency controlled by a 16-bit load value
– Load value updates can be synchronized
– Produces output signals at zero and load value
■ Two PWM comparators
– Comparator value updates can be synchronized
– Produces output signals on match
■ PWM generator
– Output PWM signal is constructed based on actions taken as a result of the counter and
PWM comparator output signals
– Produces two independent PWM signals
■ Dead-band generator
– Produces two PWM signals with programmable dead-band delays suitable for driving a half-H
bridge
– Can be bypassed, leaving input PWM signals unmodified

The timer in each PWM generator 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.
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.
18.2.2
PWM Comparators
There are two comparators in each 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 18-3 on page 507 shows the behavior of the counter and the relationship of these pulses
when the counter is in Count-Down mode. Figure 18-4 on page 507 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 18-5 on page 508 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.
18.2.4
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 18-6 on page 508 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.

18.2.6
Synchronization Methods
There is a global reset capability that can synchronously reset any or all of the counters in the PWM
generators. If multiple PWM generators are configured with the same counter load value, this can
be used to guarantee that they also have the same count value (this does imply that the PWM
generators must be configured before they are synchronized). With this, more than two PWM signals
can be produced with a known relationship between the edges of those signals since the counters
always have the same values.
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 in multiple PWM generators 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. The Update mode of the load and comparator match
values can be individually configured in each PWM generator block. It typically makes sense to use
the synchronous update mechanism across PWM generator blocks when the timers in those blocks
are synchronized, though this is not required in order for this mechanism to function properly.
18.2.7
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.
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.
18.2.8
Output Control Block
With each 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.
18.3
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.

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.

This register provides a master control of the polarity of the PWM signals on the device pins. The
PWM signals generated by the PWM generator 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 inputs and debug events are considered fault conditions. On a fault condition, each PWM signal
can 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 occurs 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 520).
The PWM generator interrupts simply reflect the status of the PWM generators; they are cleared
via the interrupt status register in the PWM generator blocks. Bits set to 1 indicate the events that
are active; zero bits indicate that the event in question is not active.

Register 11: PWM1 Control (PWM1CTL), offset 0x080
Register 12: PWM2 Control (PWM2CTL), offset 0x0C0
These registers configure the PWM signal generation blocks (PWM0CTL controls the PWM generator
0 block, and so on). The Register Update mode, Debug mode, Counting mode, and Block Enable
mode are all controlled via these registers. The blocks produce the PWM signals, which can be
either two independent PWM signals (from the same counter), or a paired set of PWM signals with
dead-band delays added.
The PWM0 block produces the PWM0 and PWM1 outputs, the PWM1 block produces the PWM2 and
PWM3 outputs, and the PWM2 block produces the PWM4 and PWM5 outputs.

Register 14: PWM1 Interrupt and Trigger Enable (PWM1INTEN), offset 0x084
Register 15: PWM2 Interrupt and Trigger Enable (PWM2INTEN), offset 0x0C4
These registers control the interrupt and ADC trigger generation capabilities of the PWM generators
(PWM0INTEN controls the PWM generator 0 block, and so on). 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 if more than one is
specified.

These registers contain a value to be compared against the counter (PWM0CMPA controls the

can drive the generation of a PWM signal (via the PWMnGENA/PWMnGENB registers) or drive an

the PWMnLOAD register (see page 529), then no pulse is ever output.
If the comparator A update mode is immediate (based on the CmpAUpd bit in the PWMnCTL register),
this 16-bit CompA value is used the next time the counter reaches zero. If the update 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 513). If this register is
rewritten before the actual update occurs, the previous value is never used and is lost.

Register 32: PWM1 Compare B (PWM1CMPB), offset 0x09C
Register 33: PWM2 Compare B (PWM2CMPB), offset 0x0DC
These registers contain a value to be compared against the counter (PWM0CMPB controls the
PWM generator 0 block, and so on). When this value matches the counter, a pulse is output; this
can drive the generation of a PWM signal (via the PWMnGENA/PWMnGENB registers) or drive an
interrupt or ADC trigger (via the PWMnINTEN register). If the value of this register is greater than
the PWMnLOAD register, no pulse is ever output.
If the comparator B update mode is immediate (based on the CmpBUpd bit in the PWMnCTL register),
this 16-bit CompB value is used the next time the counter reaches zero. If the update 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 513). If this register is
rewritten before the actual update occurs, the previous value is never used and is lost.

These registers control 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
(PWM0GENA controls the PWM generator 0 block, and so on). 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; PWM1GENA, the PWM1A signal;
and PWM2GENA, the PWM2A 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 and
inverting the resulting waveform, 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 540), 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 541). In a similar manner, PWM2 and PWM3 are
produced from the PWM1A and PWM1B signals, and PWM4 and PWM5 are produced from the PWM2A
and PWM2B signals.

Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)

Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)
A quadrature encoder, also known as a 2-channel incremental encoder, converts linear displacement
into a pulse signal. By monitoring both the number of pulses and the relative phase of the two signals,
you can track the position, direction of rotation, and speed. In addition, a third channel, or index
signal, can be used to reset the position counter.
®
The Stellaris quadrature encoder interface (QEI) module interprets the code produced by a
quadrature encoder wheel to integrate position over time and determine direction of rotation. In
addition, it can capture a running estimate of the velocity of the encoder wheel.
®
The Stellaris quadrature encoder has the following features:
■ Position integrator that tracks the encoder position
■ Velocity capture using built-in timer
■ The input frequency of the QEI inputs may be as high as 1/4 of the processor frequency (for
example, 12.5 MHz for a 50-MHz system)
■ Interrupt generation on:
– Index pulse
– Velocity-timer expiration
– Direction change
– Quadrature error detection

Functional Description
The QEI module interprets the two-bit gray code produced by a quadrature encoder wheel to integrate
position over time and determine direction of rotation. In addition, it can capture a running estimate
of the velocity of the encoder wheel.
The position integrator and velocity capture can be independently enabled, though the position
integrator must be enabled before the velocity capture can be enabled. The two phase signals, PhA
and PhB, can be swapped before being interpreted by the QEI module to change the meaning of
forward and backward, and to correct for miswiring of the system. Alternatively, the phase signals
can be interpreted as a clock and direction signal as output by some encoders.
The QEI module supports two modes of signal operation: quadrature phase mode and clock/direction
mode. In quadrature phase mode, the encoder produces two clocks that are 90 degrees out of
phase; the edge relationship is used to determine the direction of rotation. In clock/direction mode,
the encoder produces a clock signal to indicate steps and a direction signal to indicate the direction
of rotation. This mode is determined by the SigMode bit of the QEI Control (QEICTL) register (see
page 547).
When the QEI module is set to use the quadrature phase mode (SigMode bit equals zero), the
capture mode for the position integrator can be set to update the position counter on every edge of
the PhA signal or to update on every edge of both PhA and PhB. Updating the position counter on
every PhA and PhB provides more positional resolution at the cost of less range in the positional
counter.
When edges on PhA lead edges on PhB , the position counter is incremented. When edges on PhB
lead edges on PhA , the position counter is decremented. When a rising and falling edge pair is
seen on one of the phases without any edges on the other, the direction of rotation has changed.

The positional counter is automatically reset on one of two conditions: sensing the index pulse or
reaching the maximum position value. Which mode is determined by the ResMode bit of the QEI
Control (QEICTL) register.
When ResMode is 1, the positional counter is reset when the index pulse is sensed. This limits the
positional counter to the values [0:N-1], where N is the number of phase edges in a full revolution
of the encoder wheel. The QEIMAXPOS register must be programmed with N-1 so that the reverse
direction from position 0 can move the position counter to N-1. In this mode, the position register
contains the absolute position of the encoder relative to the index (or home) position once an index
pulse has been seen.
When ResMode is 0, the positional counter is constrained to the range [0:M], where M is the
programmable maximum value. The index pulse is ignored by the positional counter in this mode.
The velocity capture has a configurable timer and a count register. It counts the number of phase
edges (using the same configuration as for the position integrator) in a given time period. The edge
count from the previous time period is available to the controller via the QEISPEED register, while
the edge count for the current time period is being accumulated in the QEICOUNT register. As soon
as the current time period is complete, the total number of edges counted in that time period is made
available in the QEISPEED register (losing the previous value), the QEICOUNT is reset to 0, and
counting commences on a new time period. The number of edges counted in a given time period
is directly proportional to the velocity of the encoder.

Figure 19-2 on page 544 shows how the Stellaris quadrature encoder converts the phase input
signals into clock pulses, the direction signal, and how the velocity predivider operates (in Divide
by 4 mode).

The period of the timer is configurable by specifying the load value for the timer in the QEILOAD
register. When the timer reaches zero, an interrupt can be triggered, and the hardware reloads the
timer with the QEILOAD value and continues to count down. At lower encoder speeds, a longer
timer period is needed to be able to capture enough edges to have a meaningful result. At higher
encoder speeds, both a shorter timer period and/or the velocity predivider can be used.
The following equation converts the velocity counter value into an rpm value:
rpm = (clock * (2 ^ VelDiv) * Speed * 60) ÷ (Load * ppr * edges)
where:
clock is the controller clock rate
ppr is the number of pulses per revolution of the physical encoder
edges is 2 or 4, based on the capture mode set in the QEICTL register (2 for CapMode set to 0 and
4 for CapMode set to 1)

For example, consider a motor running at 600 rpm. A 2048 pulse per revolution quadrature encoder
is attached to the motor, producing 8192 phase edges per revolution. With a velocity predivider of
÷1 (VelDiv set to 0) and clocking on both PhA and PhB edges, this results in 81,920 pulses per
second (the motor turns 10 times per second). If the timer were clocked at 10,000 Hz, and the load
value was 2,500 (¼ of a second), it would count 20,480 pulses per update. Using the above equation:
rpm = (10000 * 1 * 20480 * 60) ÷ (2500 * 2048 * 4) = 600 rpm
Now, consider that the motor is sped up to 3000 rpm. This results in 409,600 pulses per second,
or 102,400 every ¼ of a second. Again, the above equation gives:
rpm = (10000 * 1 * 102400 * 60) ÷ (2500 * 2048 * 4) = 3000 rpm
Care must be taken when evaluating this equation since intermediate values may exceed the capacity
of a 32-bit integer. In the above examples, the clock is 10,000 and the divider is 2,500; both could
be predivided by 100 (at compile time if they are constants) and therefore be 100 and 25. In fact, if
they were compile-time constants, they could also be reduced to a simple multiply by 4, cancelled
by the ÷4 for the edge-count factor.
Important: Reducing constant factors at compile time is the best way to control the intermediate
values of this equation, as well as reducing the processing requirement of computing
this equation.
The division can be avoided by selecting a timer load value such that the divisor is a power of 2; a
simple shift can therefore be done in place of the division. For encoders with a power of 2 pulses
per revolution, this is a simple matter of selecting a power of 2 load value. For other encoders, a
load value must be selected such that the product is very close to a power of two. For example, a
100 pulse per revolution encoder could use a load value of 82, resulting in 32,800 as the divisor,
which is 0.09% above 214; in this case a shift by 15 would be an adequate approximation of the
divide in most cases. If absolute accuracy were required, the controller’s divide instruction could be
used.
The QEI module can produce a controller interrupt on several events: phase error, direction change,
reception of the index pulse, and expiration of the velocity timer. Standard masking, raw interrupt
status, interrupt status, and interrupt clear capabilities are provided.

Initialization and Configuration
The following example shows how to configure the Quadrature Encoder module to read back an
absolute position:
1. Enable the QEI clock by writing a value of 0x0000.0100 to the RCGC1 register in the System
Control module.
2. Enable the clock to the appropriate GPIO module via the RCGC2 register in the System Control
module.
3. In the GPIO module, enable the appropriate pins for their alternate function using the
GPIOAFSEL register.
4. Configure the quadrature encoder to capture edges on both signals and maintain an absolute
position by resetting on index pulses. Using a 1000-line encoder at four edges per line, there
are 4000 pulses per revolution; therefore, set the maximum position to 3999 (0xF9F) since the
count is zero-based.
