Description
■
In Application Interrupt and Reset Control (APINT) register, changed bit name from SYSRESETREQ
to SYSRESREQ.
■
Added DEBUG (Debug Priority) bit field to System Handler Priority 3 (SYSPRI3) register.
■
Added "Reset Sources" table to System Control chapter.
■
Removed mention of false-start bit detection in the UART chapter. This feature is not supported.
■
Added note that specific module clocks must be enabled before that module's registers can be
programmed. There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the module clock is enabled before
any of that module's registers are accessed.
■
Changed I2C slave register base addresses and offsets to be relative to the I2C module base address
of 0x4002.0000 , so register bases and offsets were changed for all I2C slave registers. Note that
the hw_i2c.h file in the StellarisWare Driver Library uses a base address of 0x4002.0800 for the I2C
slave registers. Be aware when using registers with offsets between 0x800 and 0x818 that
StellarisWare uses the old slave base address for these offsets.
■
Corrected nonlinearity and offset error parameters (EL, ED and EO) in ADC Characteristics table.
■
Added specification for maximum input voltage on a non-power pin when the microcontroller is
unpowered (VNON parameter in Maximum Ratings table).
■
Additional minor data sheet clarifications and corrections.
■
Reorganized ARM Cortex-M3 Processor Core, Memory Map and Interrupts chapters, creating two
new chapters, The Cortex-M3 Processor and Cortex-M3 Peripherals. Much additional content was
added, including all the Cortex-M3 registers.
■
Changed register names to be consistent with StellarisWare names: the Cortex-M3 Interrupt
Control and Status (ICSR) register to the Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL) register, and
the Cortex-M3 Interrupt Set Enable (SETNA) register to the Interrupt 0-31 Set Enable (EN0)
register.
■
Added clarification of instruction execution during Flash operations.
■
Modified Figure 7-2 on page 228 to clarify operation of the GPIO inputs when used as an alternate
function.
■
Added caution not to apply a Low value to PB7 when debugging; a Low value on the pin causes
the JTAG controller to be reset, resulting in a loss of JTAG communication.
■
In General-Purpose Timers chapter, clarified operation of the 32-bit RTC mode.
■
Added missing table "Connections for Unused Signals" (Table 17-5 on page 533).
■
In Electrical Characteristics chapter:
– Added ILKG parameter (GPIO input leakage current) to Table 19-4 on page 536.
– Corrected values for tCLKRF parameter (SSIClk rise/fall time) in Table 19-16 on page 544.
■
Added dimensions for Tray and Tape and Reel shipping mediums.

■
Added caution note to the I2C Master Timer Period (I2CMTPR) register description and changed
field width to 7 bits.
■
Added note about RST signal routing.
■
Clarified the function of the TnSTALL bit in the GPTMCTL register.
■
Additional minor data sheet clarifications and corrections.
■
In "System Control" section, clarified Debug Access Port operation after Sleep modes.
■
Clarified wording on Flash memory access errors.
■
Added section on Flash interrupts.
■
Changed the reset value of the ADC Sample Sequence Result FIFO n (ADCSSFIFOn) registers
to be indeterminate.
■
Clarified operation of SSI transmit FIFO.
■
Made these changes to the Operating Characteristics chapter:

–
Added storage temperature ratings to "Temperature Characteristics" table
–
Added "ESD Absolute Maximum Ratings" table
Made these changes to the Electrical Characteristics chapter:
–
In "Flash Memory Characteristics" table, corrected Mass erase time
–
Added sleep and deep-sleep wake-up times ("Sleep Modes AC Characteristics" table)
–
In "Reset Characteristics" table, corrected supply voltage (VDD) rise time
■
The reset value for the DID1 register may change, depending on the package.
■
Deleted MAXADCSPD bit field from DCGC0 register as it is not applicable in Deep-Sleep mode.
■
Deleted reset value for 16-bit mode from GPTMTAILR, GPTMTAMATCHR, and GPTMTAR registers
because the module resets in 32-bit mode.
■
Made these changes to the Electrical Characteristics chapter:
–
Removed VSIH and VSIL parameters from Operating Conditions table.
–
Changed SSI set up and hold times to be expressed in system clocks, not ns.
–
Revised ADC electrical specifications to clarify, including reorganizing and adding new data.
■
Added 48QFN package.
■
Additional minor data sheet clarifications and corrections.

■
Added note on clearing interrupts to the Interrupts chapter:
Note:
■
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)
Step 1 of the Initialization and Configuration procedure in the ADC chapter states the wrong register
to use to enable the ADC clock. Sentence changed to:
1. Enable the ADC clock by writing a value of 0x0001.0000 to the RCGC0 register.

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 Table 2-4 on page 61.
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/WC
Software can read or write this field. Writing to it with any value clears the register.
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.

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.

Functional Overview
The following sections provide an overview of the features of the LM3S615 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 573.
1.4.1
ARM Cortex™-M3
1.4.1.1
Processor Core (see page 42)
All members of the Stellaris product family, including the LM3S615 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.
1.4.1.2
Memory Map (see page 61)
A memory map lists the location of instructions and data in memory. The memory map for the
LM3S615 controller can be found in Table 2-4 on page 61. Register addresses are given as a
hexadecimal increment, relative to the module's base address as shown in the memory map.
1.4.1.3
System Timer (SysTick) (see page 84)
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.
1.4.1.4
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) (see page 85)
The LM3S615 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 28 interrupts.
January 09, 2011

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Architectural Overview
1.4.1.5
System Control Block (SCB) (see page 87)
The SCB provides system implementation information and system control, including configuration,
control, and reporting of system exceptions.
1.4.1.6
Memory Protection Unit (MPU) (see page 87)
The MPU supports the standard ARMv7 Protected Memory System Architecture (PMSA) model.
The MPU provides full support for protection regions, overlapping protection regions, access
permissions, and exporting memory attributes to the system.
1.4.2
Motor Control Peripherals
To enhance motor control, the LM3S615 controller features Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs.
1.4.2.1
PWM
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique for digitally encoding analog signal levels.
High-resolution counters are used to generate a square wave, and the duty cycle of the square
wave is modulated to encode an analog signal. Typical applications include switching power supplies
and motor control.
On the LM3S615, 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 486)
The LM3S615 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 271)
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 491)
The LM3S615 PWM module includes one fault-condition handling input to quickly provide low-latency
shutdown and prevent damage to the motor being controlled.
1.4.3
Analog Peripherals
To handle analog signals, the LM3S615 microcontroller offers an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC).
For support of analog signals, the LM3S615 microcontroller offers three analog comparators.
1.4.3.1
ADC (see page 325)
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a peripheral that converts a continuous analog voltage to a
discrete digital number.
36
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
The LM3S615 ADC module features 10-bit conversion resolution and supports two 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 473)
An analog comparator is a peripheral that compares two analog voltages, and provides a logical
output that signals the comparison result.
The LM3S615 microcontroller provides three independent integrated analog comparators that can
be configured to drive an output or generate an interrupt or ADC event.
A comparator can compare a test voltage against any one of these voltages:
■ An individual external reference voltage
■ A 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 LM3S615 controller supports both asynchronous and synchronous serial communications with:
■ Two fully programmable 16C550-type UARTs
■ One SSI module
■ One I2C module
1.4.4.1
UART (see page 361)
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 LM3S615 controller includes two fully programmable 16C550-type UARTs that support data
transfer speeds up to 3.125 Mbps. (Although similar in functionality to a 16C550 UART, it is not
register-compatible.)
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
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 400)
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a four-wire bi-directional full and low-speed communications
interface.
January 09, 2011
37
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Architectural Overview
The LM3S615 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
I2C (see page 437)
The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus provides bi-directional data transfer through a two-wire design
(a serial data line SDA and a serial clock line SCL).
The I2C bus interfaces to external I2C devices such as serial memory (RAMs and ROMs), networking
devices, LCDs, tone generators, and so on. The I2C bus may also be used for system testing and
diagnostic purposes in product development and manufacture.
The LM3S615 controller includes one I2C module that provides the ability to communicate to other
IC devices over an I2C bus. The I2C bus supports devices that can both transmit and receive (write
and read) data.
Devices on the I2C bus can be designated as either a master or a slave. The I2C module supports
both sending and receiving data as either a master or a slave, and also supports the simultaneous
operation as both a master and a slave. The four I2C modes are: Master Transmit, Master Receive,
Slave Transmit, and Slave Receive.
A Stellaris I2C module can operate at two speeds: Standard (100 Kbps) and Fast (400 Kbps).
Both the I2C master and slave can generate interrupts. The I2C master generates interrupts when
a transmit or receive operation completes (or aborts due to an error). The I2C slave generates
interrupts when data has been sent or requested by a master.
1.4.5
System Peripherals
1.4.5.1
Programmable GPIOs (see page 226)
General-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins offer flexibility for a variety of connections.
The Stellaris GPIO module is comprised of five physical GPIO blocks, each corresponding to an
individual GPIO port. The GPIO module is FiRM-compliant (compliant to the ARM Foundation IP
for Real-Time Microcontrollers specification) and supports 0-34 programmable input/output pins.
The number of GPIOs available depends on the peripherals being used (see “Signal
Tables” on page 526 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.

Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
1.4.5.2
Three Programmable Timers (see page 265)
Programmable timers can be used to count or time external events that drive the Timer input pins.
The Stellaris General-Purpose Timer Module (GPTM) contains three GPTM blocks. Each GPTM
block provides two 16-bit 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 301)
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 LM3S615 controller offers both single-cycle SRAM and single-cycle Flash memory.
1.4.6.1
SRAM (see page 209)
The LM3S615 static random access memory (SRAM) controller supports 8 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 210)
The LM3S615 Flash controller supports 32 KB of flash memory. The flash is organized as a set of
1-KB blocks that can be individually erased. Erasing a block causes the entire contents of the block
to be reset to all 1s. These blocks are paired into a set of 2-KB blocks that can be individually
protected. The blocks can be marked as read-only or execute-only, providing different levels of code
protection. Read-only blocks cannot be erased or programmed, protecting the contents of those
blocks from being modified. Execute-only blocks cannot be erased or programmed, and can only
be read by the controller instruction fetch mechanism, protecting the contents of those blocks from
being read by either the controller or by a debugger.
1.4.7
Additional Features
1.4.7.1
JTAG TAP Controller (see page 142)
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)
January 09, 2011

Architectural Overview
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.
1.4.7.2
System Control and Clocks (see page 152)
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.

Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
This chapter provides information on the Stellaris implementation of the Cortex-M3 processor,
including the programming model, the memory model, the exception model, fault handling, and
power management.
For technical details on the instruction set, see the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's
Manual.
2.1
Block Diagram
The Cortex-M3 processor is built on a high-performance processor core, with a 3-stage pipeline
Harvard architecture, making it ideal for demanding embedded applications. The processor delivers
exceptional power efficiency through an efficient instruction set and extensively optimized design,
providing high-end processing hardware including single-cycle 32x32 multiplication and dedicated
hardware division.
To facilitate the design of cost-sensitive devices, the Cortex-M3 processor implements tightly coupled
system components that reduce processor area while significantly improving interrupt handling and
system debug capabilities. The Cortex-M3 processor implements a version of the Thumb® instruction
set, ensuring high code density and reduced program memory requirements. The Cortex-M3
instruction set provides the exceptional performance expected of a modern 32-bit architecture, with
the high code density of 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers.
The Cortex-M3 processor closely integrates a nested interrupt controller (NVIC), to deliver
industry-leading interrupt performance. The Stellaris NVIC includes a non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
and provides eight interrupt priority levels. The tight integration of the processor core and NVIC
provides fast execution of interrupt service routines (ISRs), dramatically reducing interrupt latency.
The hardware stacking of registers and the ability to suspend load-multiple and store-multiple
operations further reduce interrupt latency. Interrupt handlers do not require any assembler stubs
which removes code overhead from the ISRs. Tail-chaining optimization also significantly reduces
the overhead when switching from one ISR to another. To optimize low-power designs, the NVIC
integrates with the sleep modes, including Deep-sleep mode, which enables the entire device to be
rapidly powered down.

The Cortex-M3 processor provides multiple interfaces using AMBA® technology to provide
high-speed, low-latency memory accesses. The core supports unaligned data accesses and
implements atomic bit manipulation that enables faster peripheral controls, system spinlocks, and
thread-safe Boolean data handling.
The Cortex-M3 processor has a memory protection unit (MPU) that provides fine-grain memory
control, enabling applications to implement security privilege levels and separate code, data and
stack on a task-by-task basis.
2.2.2
Integrated Configurable Debug
The Cortex-M3 processor implements a complete hardware debug solution, providing high system
visibility of the processor and memory through either a traditional JTAG port or a 2-pin Serial Wire
Debug (SWD) port that is ideal for microcontrollers and other small package devices. The Stellaris
implementation replaces 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 ARM® Debug Interface V5 Architecture Specification
for details on SWJ-DP.
For system trace, the processor integrates an Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) alongside data
watchpoints and a profiling unit. To enable simple and cost-effective profiling of the system trace
events, a Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) can export a stream of software-generated messages, data
trace, and profiling information through a single pin.

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
The Flash Patch and Breakpoint Unit (FPB) provides up to eight hardware breakpoint comparators
that debuggers can use. The comparators in the FPB also provide remap functions of up to eight
words in the program code in the CODE memory region. This enables applications stored in a
read-only area of Flash memory to be patched in another area of on-chip SRAM or Flash memory.
If a patch is required, the application programs the FPB to remap a number of addresses. When
those addresses are accessed, the accesses are redirected to a remap table specified in the FPB
configuration.
For more information on the Cortex-M3 debug capabilities, see theARM® Debug Interface V5
Architecture Specification.
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

The Cortex-M3 includes the following system components:
■ SysTick
A 24-bit count-down timer that can be used as a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) tick timer
or as a simple counter (see “System Timer (SysTick)” on page 84).

Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
The programming model interface to the processor. The SCB provides system implementation
information and system control, including configuration, control, and reporting of system
exceptions( see “System Control Block (SCB)” on page 87).
■ Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
Improves system reliability by defining the memory attributes for different memory regions. The
MPU provides up to eight different regions and an optional predefined background region (see
“Memory Protection Unit (MPU)” on page 87).
2.3
Programming Model
This section describes the Cortex-M3 programming model. In addition to the individual core register
descriptions, information about the processor modes and privilege levels for software execution and
stacks is included.
2.3.1
Processor Mode and Privilege Levels for Software Execution
The Cortex-M3 has two modes of operation:
■ Thread mode
Used to execute application software. The processor enters Thread mode when it comes out of
reset.
■ Handler mode
Used to handle exceptions. When the processor has finished exception processing, it returns to
Thread mode.
In addition, the Cortex-M3 has two privilege levels:
■ Unprivileged
In this mode, software has the following restrictions:
– Limited access to the MSR and MRS instructions and no use of the CPS instruction
– No access to the system timer, NVIC, or system control block
– Possibly restricted access to memory or peripherals
■ Privileged
In this mode, software can use all the instructions and has access to all resources.
In Thread mode, the CONTROL register (see page 60) controls whether software execution is
privileged or unprivileged. In Handler mode, software execution is always privileged.
Only privileged software can write to the CONTROL register to change the privilege level for software
execution in Thread mode. Unprivileged software can use the SVC instruction to make a supervisor
call to transfer control to privileged software.
2.3.2
Stacks
The processor uses a full descending stack, meaning that the stack pointer indicates the last stacked
item on the stack memory. When the processor pushes a new item onto the stack, it decrements
the stack pointer and then writes the item to the new memory location. The processor implements
46
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
two stacks: the main stack and the process stack, with independent copies of the stack pointer (see
the SP register on page 50).
In Thread mode, the CONTROL register (see page 60) controls whether the processor uses the
main stack or the process stack. In Handler mode, the processor always uses the main stack. The
options for processor operations are shown in Table 2-1 on page 47.

Register 14: Stack Pointer (SP)
The Stack Pointer (SP) is register R13. In Thread mode, the function of this register changes
depending on the ASP bit in the Control Register (CONTROL) register. When the ASP bit is clear,
this register is the Main Stack Pointer (MSP). When the ASP bit is set, this register is the Process
Stack Pointer (PSP). On reset, the ASP bit is clear, and the processor loads the MSP with the value
from address 0x0000.0000. The MSP can only be accessed in privileged mode; the PSP can be
accessed in either privileged or unprivileged mode.

Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
Register 17: Program Status Register (PSR)
Note:
This register is also referred to as xPSR.
The Program Status Register (PSR) has three functions, and the register bits are assigned to the
different functions:
■ Application Program Status Register (APSR), bits 31:27,
■ Execution Program Status Register (EPSR), bits 26:24, 15:10
■ Interrupt Program Status Register (IPSR), bits 5:0
The PSR, IPSR, and EPSR registers can only be accessed in privileged mode; the APSR register
can be accessed in either privileged or unprivileged mode.
APSR contains the current state of the condition flags from previous instruction executions.
EPSR contains the Thumb state bit and the execution state bits for the If-Then (IT) instruction or
the Interruptible-Continuable Instruction (ICI) field for an interrupted load multiple or store multiple
instruction. Attempts to read the EPSR directly through application software using the MSR instruction
always return zero. Attempts to write the EPSR using the MSR instruction in application software
are always ignored. Fault handlers can examine the EPSR value in the stacked PSR to determine
the operation that faulted (see “Exception Entry and Return” on page 74).
IPSR contains the exception type number of the current Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
These registers can be accessed individually or as a combination of any two or all three registers,
using the register name as an argument to the MSR or MRS instructions. For example, all of the
registers can be read using PSR with the MRS instruction, or APSR only can be written to using
APSR with the MSR instruction. page 53 shows the possible register combinations for the PSR. See
the MRS and MSR instruction descriptions in the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual
for more information about how to access the program status registers.

When EPSR holds the ICI execution state, bits 26:25 are zero.
The If-Then block contains up to four instructions following a 16-bit IT
instruction. Each instruction in the block is conditional. The conditions
for the instructions are either all the same, or some can be the inverse
of others. See the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual
for more information.
The value of this field is only meaningful when accessing PSR or EPSR.
EPSR Thumb State
This bit indicates the Thumb state and should always be set.
The following can clear the THUMB bit:
■
The BLX, BX and POP{PC} instructions
■
Restoration from the stacked xPSR value on an exception return
■
Bit 0 of the vector value on an exception entry
Attempting to execute instructions when this bit is clear results in a fault
or lockup. See “Lockup” on page 78 for more information.
The value of this bit is only meaningful when accessing PSR or EPSR.

EPSR ICI / IT status
These bits, along with bits 26:25, contain the Interruptible-Continuable
Instruction (ICI) field for an interrupted load multiple or store multiple
instruction or the execution state bits of the IT instruction.
When an interrupt occurs during the execution of an LDM, STM, PUSH
or POP instruction, the processor stops the load multiple or store multiple
instruction operation temporarily and stores the next register operand
in the multiple operation to bits 15:12. After servicing the interrupt, the
processor returns to the register pointed to by bits 15:12 and resumes
execution of the multiple load or store instruction. When EPSR holds
the ICI execution state, bits 11:10 are zero.
The If-Then block contains up to four instructions following a 16-bit IT
instruction. Each instruction in the block is conditional. The conditions
for the instructions are either all the same, or some can be the inverse
of others. See the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual

Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
Register 21: Control Register (CONTROL)
The CONTROL register controls the stack used and the privilege level for software execution when
the processor is in Thread mode. This register is only accessible in privileged mode.
Handler mode always uses MSP, so the processor ignores explicit writes to the ASP bit of the
CONTROL register when in Handler mode. The exception entry and return mechanisms automatically
update the CONTROL register based on the EXC_RETURN value (see Table 2-10 on page 76).
In an OS environment, threads running in Thread mode should use the process stack and the kernel
and exception handlers should use the main stack. By default, Thread mode uses MSP. To switch
the stack pointer used in Thread mode to PSP, either use the MSR instruction to set the ASP bit, as
detailed in the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual, or perform an exception return
to Thread mode with the appropriate EXC_RETURN value, as shown in Table 2-10 on page 76.
Note:
When changing the stack pointer, software must use an ISB instruction immediately after
the MSR instruction, ensuring that instructions after the ISB execute use the new stack
pointer. See the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual.

Exceptions and Interrupts
The Cortex-M3 processor supports interrupts and system exceptions. The processor and the Nested
Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) prioritize and handle all exceptions. An exception changes the
normal flow of software control. The processor uses Handler mode to handle all exceptions except
for reset. See “Exception Entry and Return” on page 74 for more information.
The NVIC registers control interrupt handling. See “Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller
(NVIC)” on page 85 for more information.
2.3.6
Data Types
The Cortex-M3 supports 32-bit words, 16-bit halfwords, and 8-bit bytes. The processor also supports
64-bit data transfer instructions. All instruction and data memory accesses are little endian. See
“Memory Regions, Types and Attributes” on page 62 for more information.
2.4
Memory Model
This section describes the processor memory map, the behavior of memory accesses, and the
bit-banding features. The processor has a fixed memory map that provides up to 4 GB of addressable
memory.
The memory map for the LM3S615 controller is provided in Table 2-4 on page 61. In this manual,
register addresses are given as a hexadecimal increment, relative to the module’s base address
as shown in the memory map.
The regions for SRAM and peripherals include bit-band regions. Bit-banding provides atomic
operations to bit data (see “Bit-Banding” on page 65).
The processor reserves regions of the Private peripheral bus (PPB) address range for core peripheral
registers (see “Cortex-M3 Peripherals” on page 84).
Note:
Within the memory map, all reserved space returns a bus fault when read or written.

2.4.1
Memory Regions, Types and Attributes
The memory map and the programming of the MPU split the memory map into regions. Each region
has a defined memory type, and some regions have additional memory attributes. The memory
type and attributes determine the behavior of accesses to the region.
The memory types are:
■ Normal: The processor can re-order transactions for efficiency and perform speculative reads.
62
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
■ Device: The processor preserves transaction order relative to other transactions to Device or
Strongly Ordered memory.
■ Strongly Ordered: The processor preserves transaction order relative to all other transactions.
The different ordering requirements for Device and Strongly Ordered memory mean that the memory
system can buffer a write to Device memory but must not buffer a write to Strongly Ordered memory.
An additional memory attribute is Execute Never (XN), which means the processor prevents
instruction accesses. A fault exception is generated only on execution of an instruction executed
from an XN region.
2.4.2
Memory System Ordering of Memory Accesses
For most memory accesses caused by explicit memory access instructions, the memory system
does not guarantee that the order in which the accesses complete matches the program order of
the instructions, providing the order does not affect the behavior of the instruction sequence. Normally,
if correct program execution depends on two memory accesses completing in program order,
software must insert a memory barrier instruction between the memory access instructions (see
“Software Ordering of Memory Accesses” on page 64).
However, the memory system does guarantee ordering of accesses to Device and Strongly Ordered
memory. For two memory access instructions A1 and A2, if both A1 and A2 are accesses to either
Device or Strongly Ordered memory, and if A1 occurs before A2 in program order, A1 is always
observed before A2.
2.4.3
Behavior of Memory Accesses
Table 2-5 on page 63 shows the behavior of accesses to each region in the memory map. See
“Memory Regions, Types and Attributes” on page 62 for more information on memory types and
the XN attribute. Stellaris devices may have reserved memory areas within the address ranges
shown below (refer to Table 2-4 on page 61 for more information).

The Code, SRAM, and external RAM regions can hold programs. However, it is recommended that
programs always use the Code region because the Cortex-M3 has separate buses that can perform
instruction fetches and data accesses simultaneously.

Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
The MPU can override the default memory access behavior described in this section. For more
information, see “Memory Protection Unit (MPU)” on page 87.
The Cortex-M3 prefetches instructions ahead of execution and speculatively prefetches from branch
target addresses.
2.4.4
Software Ordering of Memory Accesses
The order of instructions in the program flow does not always guarantee the order of the
corresponding memory transactions for the following reasons:
■ The processor can reorder some memory accesses to improve efficiency, providing this does
not affect the behavior of the instruction sequence.
■ The processor has multiple bus interfaces.
■ Memory or devices in the memory map have different wait states.
■ Some memory accesses are buffered or speculative.
“Memory System Ordering of Memory Accesses” on page 63 describes the cases where the memory
system guarantees the order of memory accesses. Otherwise, if the order of memory accesses is
critical, software must include memory barrier instructions to force that ordering. The Cortex-M3
has the following memory barrier instructions:
■ The Data Memory Barrier (DMB) instruction ensures that outstanding memory transactions
complete before subsequent memory transactions.
■ The Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB) instruction ensures that outstanding memory transactions
complete before subsequent instructions execute.
■ The Instruction Synchronization Barrier (ISB) instruction ensures that the effect of all completed
memory transactions is recognizable by subsequent instructions.
Memory barrier instructions can be used in the following situations:
■ MPU programming
– If the MPU settings are changed and the change must be effective on the very next instruction,
use a DSB instruction to ensure the effect of the MPU takes place immediately at the end of
context switching.
– Use an ISB instruction to ensure the new MPU setting takes effect immediately after
programming the MPU region or regions, if the MPU configuration code was accessed using
a branch or call. If the MPU configuration code is entered using exception mechanisms, then
an ISB instruction is not required.
■ Vector table
If the program changes an entry in the vector table and then enables the corresponding exception,
use a DMB instruction between the operations. The DMB instruction ensures that if the exception
is taken immediately after being enabled, the processor uses the new exception vector.
■ Self-modifying code
64
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
If a program contains self-modifying code, use an ISB instruction immediately after the code
modification in the program. The ISB instruction ensures subsequent instruction execution uses
the updated program.
■ Memory map switching
If the system contains a memory map switching mechanism, use a DSB instruction after switching
the memory map in the program. The DSB instruction ensures subsequent instruction execution
uses the updated memory map.
■ Dynamic exception priority change
When an exception priority has to change when the exception is pending or active, use DSB
instructions after the change. The change then takes effect on completion of the DSB instruction.
Memory accesses to Strongly Ordered memory, such as the System Control Block, do not require
the use of DMB instructions.
For more information on the memory barrier instructions, see the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set
Technical User's Manual.
2.4.5
Bit-Banding
A bit-band region maps each word in a bit-band alias region to a single bit in the bit-band region.
The bit-band regions occupy the lowest 1 MB of the SRAM and peripheral memory regions. Accesses
to the 32-MB SRAM alias region map to the 1-MB SRAM bit-band region, as shown in Table
2-6 on page 65. Accesses to the 32-MB peripheral alias region map to the 1-MB peripheral bit-band
region, as shown in Table 2-7 on page 65. For the specific address range of the bit-band regions,
see Table 2-4 on page 61.
Note:
A word access to the SRAM or the peripheral bit-band alias region maps to a single bit in
the SRAM or peripheral bit-band region.
A word access to a bit band address results in a word access to the underlying memory,
and similarly for halfword and byte accesses. This allows bit band accesses to match the
access requirements of the underlying peripheral.

Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
The following formula shows how the alias region maps onto the bit-band region:
bit_word_offset = (byte_offset x 32) + (bit_number x 4)
bit_word_addr = bit_band_base + bit_word_offset
where:
bit_word_offset
The position of the target bit in the bit-band memory region.
bit_word_addr
The address of the word in the alias memory region that maps to the targeted bit.
bit_band_base
The starting address of the alias region.
byte_offset
The number of the byte in the bit-band region that contains the targeted bit.
bit_number
The bit position, 0-7, of the targeted bit.
Figure 2-4 on page 67 shows examples of bit-band mapping between the SRAM bit-band alias
region and the SRAM bit-band region:
■ The alias word at 0x23FF.FFE0 maps to bit 0 of the bit-band byte at 0x200F.FFFF:
0x23FF.FFE0 = 0x2200.0000 + (0x000F.FFFF*32) + (0*4)
■ The alias word at 0x23FF.FFFC maps to bit 7 of the bit-band byte at 0x200F.FFFF:
0x23FF.FFFC = 0x2200.0000 + (0x000F.FFFF*32) + (7*4)
■ The alias word at 0x2200.0000 maps to bit 0 of the bit-band byte at 0x2000.0000:
0x2200.0000 = 0x2200.0000 + (0*32) + (0*4)
■ The alias word at 0x2200.001C maps to bit 7 of the bit-band byte at 0x2000.0000:
0x2200.001C = 0x2200.0000+ (0*32) + (7*4)

Directly Accessing an Alias Region
Writing to a word in the alias region updates a single bit in the bit-band region.
Bit 0 of the value written to a word in the alias region determines the value written to the targeted
bit in the bit-band region. Writing a value with bit 0 set writes a 1 to the bit-band bit, and writing a
value with bit 0 clear writes a 0 to the bit-band bit.
Bits 31:1 of the alias word have no effect on the bit-band bit. Writing 0x01 has the same effect as
writing 0xFF. Writing 0x00 has the same effect as writing 0x0E.
When reading a word in the alias region, 0x0000.0000 indicates that the targeted bit in the bit-band
region is clear and 0x0000.0001 indicates that the targeted bit in the bit-band region is set.
2.4.5.2
Directly Accessing a Bit-Band Region
“Behavior of Memory Accesses” on page 63 describes the behavior of direct byte, halfword, or word
accesses to the bit-band regions.
2.4.6
Data Storage
The processor views memory as a linear collection of bytes numbered in ascending order from zero.
For example, bytes 0-3 hold the first stored word, and bytes 4-7 hold the second stored word. Data
is stored in little-endian format, with the least-significant byte (lsbyte) of a word stored at the
lowest-numbered byte, and the most-significant byte (msbyte) stored at the highest-numbered byte.
Figure 2-5 on page 68 illustrates how data is stored.

Synchronization Primitives
The Cortex-M3 instruction set includes pairs of synchronization primitives which provide a
non-blocking mechanism that a thread or process can use to obtain exclusive access to a memory
location. Software can use these primitives to perform a guaranteed read-modify-write memory
update sequence or for a semaphore mechanism.
A pair of synchronization primitives consists of:
■ A Load-Exclusive instruction, which is used to read the value of a memory location and requests
exclusive access to that location.
■ A Store-Exclusive instruction, which is used to attempt to write to the same memory location and
returns a status bit to a register. If this status bit is clear, it indicates that the thread or process
gained exclusive access to the memory and the write succeeds; if this status bit is set, it indicates
that the thread or process did not gain exclusive access to the memory and no write is performed.
The pairs of Load-Exclusive and Store-Exclusive instructions are:
■ The word instructions LDREX and STREX
■ The halfword instructions LDREXH and STREXH
■ The byte instructions LDREXB and STREXB
Software must use a Load-Exclusive instruction with the corresponding Store-Exclusive instruction.
To perform a guaranteed read-modify-write of a memory location, software must:
1. Use a Load-Exclusive instruction to read the value of the location.
2. Update the value, as required.
3. Use a Store-Exclusive instruction to attempt to write the new value back to the memory location,
and test the returned status bit. If the status bit is clear, the read-modify-write completed
successfully; if the status bit is set, no write was performed, which indicates that the value
returned at step 1 might be out of date. The software must retry the read-modify-write sequence.
Software can use the synchronization primitives to implement a semaphore as follows:
1. Use a Load-Exclusive instruction to read from the semaphore address to check whether the
semaphore is free.
68
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
2. If the semaphore is free, use a Store-Exclusive to write the claim value to the semaphore
address.
3. If the returned status bit from step 2 indicates that the Store-Exclusive succeeded, then the
software has claimed the semaphore. However, if the Store-Exclusive failed, another process
might have claimed the semaphore after the software performed step 1.
The Cortex-M3 includes an exclusive access monitor that tags the fact that the processor has
executed a Load-Exclusive instruction. The processor removes its exclusive access tag if:
■ It executes a CLREX instruction.
■ It executes a Store-Exclusive instruction, regardless of whether the write succeeds.
■ An exception occurs, which means the processor can resolve semaphore conflicts between
different threads.
For more information about the synchronization primitive instructions, see the Cortex™-M3 Instruction
Set Technical User's Manual.
2.5
Exception Model
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor and the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) prioritize and
handle all exceptions 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, enabling 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 2-8 on page 71 lists all exception types. Software can set eight priority levels on seven of
these exceptions (system handlers) as well as on 28 interrupts (listed in Table 2-9 on page 72).
Priorities on the system handlers are set with the NVIC System Handler Priority n (SYSPRIn)
registers. Interrupts are enabled through the NVIC Interrupt Set Enable n (ENn) register and
prioritized with the NVIC Interrupt Priority n (PRIn) registers. Priorities can be grouped by splitting
priority levels into preemption priorities and subpriorities. All the interrupt registers are described in
“Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)” on page 85.
Internally, the highest user-programmable priority (0) is treated as fourth priority, after a Reset,
Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), and a Hard Fault, in that order. Note that 0 is the default priority for
all the programmable priorities.
Important: After a write to clear an interrupt source, it may take several processor cycles for the
NVIC to see the interrupt source de-assert. Thus if the interrupt clear is done as the
last action in an interrupt handler, it is possible for the interrupt handler to complete
while the NVIC sees the interrupt as still asserted, causing the interrupt handler to be
re-entered errantly. This situation 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 “Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)” on page 85 for more information on exceptions
and interrupts.
2.5.1
Exception States
Each exception is in one of the following states:
January 09, 2011
69
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
■ Inactive. The exception is not active and not pending.
■ Pending. The exception is waiting to be serviced by the processor. An interrupt request from a
peripheral or from software can change the state of the corresponding interrupt to pending.
■ Active. An exception that is being serviced by the processor but has not completed.
Note:
An exception handler can interrupt the execution of another exception handler. In this
case, both exceptions are in the active state.
■ Active and Pending. The exception is being serviced by the processor, and there is a pending
exception from the same source.
2.5.2
Exception Types
The exception types are:
■ Reset. Reset is invoked on power up or a warm reset. The exception model treats reset as a
special form of exception. When reset is asserted, the operation of the processor stops, potentially
at any point in an instruction. When reset is deasserted, execution restarts from the address
provided by the reset entry in the vector table. Execution restarts as privileged execution in
Thread mode.
■ NMI. A non-maskable Interrupt (NMI) can be signaled using the NMI signal or triggered by
software using the Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL) register. This exception has the
highest priority other than reset. NMI is permanently enabled and has a fixed priority of -2. NMIs
cannot be masked or prevented from activation by any other exception or preempted by any
exception other than reset.
■ Hard Fault. A hard fault is an exception that occurs because of an error during exception
processing, or because an exception cannot be managed by any other exception mechanism.
Hard faults have a fixed priority of -1, meaning they have higher priority than any exception with
configurable priority.
■ Memory Management Fault. A memory management fault is an exception that occurs because
of a memory protection related fault, including access violation and no match. The MPU or the
fixed memory protection constraints determine this fault, for both instruction and data memory
transactions. This fault is used to abort instruction accesses to Execute Never (XN) memory
regions, even if the MPU is disabled.
■ Bus Fault. A bus fault is an exception that occurs because of a memory-related fault for an
instruction or data memory transaction such as a prefetch fault or a memory access fault. This
fault can be enabled or disabled.
■ Usage Fault. A usage fault is an exception that occurs because of a fault related to instruction
execution, such as:
– An undefined instruction
– An illegal unaligned access
– Invalid state on instruction execution
– An error on exception return
70
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
An unaligned address on a word or halfword memory access or division by zero can cause a
usage fault when the core is properly configured.
■ SVCall. A supervisor call (SVC) is an exception that is triggered by the SVC instruction. In an
OS environment, applications can use SVC instructions to access OS kernel functions and device
drivers.
■ Debug Monitor. This exception is caused by the debug monitor (when not halting). This exception
is only active when enabled. This exception does not activate if it is a lower priority than the
current activation.
■ PendSV. PendSV is a pendable, interrupt-driven request for system-level service. In an OS
environment, use PendSV for context switching when no other exception is active. PendSV is
triggered using the Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL) register.
■ SysTick. A SysTick exception is an exception that the system timer generates when it reaches
zero when it is enabled to generate an interrupt. Software can also generate a SysTick exception
using the Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL) register. In an OS environment, the processor
can use this exception as system tick.
■ Interrupt (IRQ). An interrupt, or IRQ, is an exception signaled by a peripheral or generated by
a software request and fed through the NVIC (prioritized). All interrupts are asynchronous to
instruction execution. In the system, peripherals use interrupts to communicate with the processor.
Table 2-9 on page 72 lists the interrupts on the LM3S615 controller.
For an asynchronous exception, other than reset, the processor can execute another instruction
between when the exception is triggered and when the processor enters the exception handler.
Privileged software can disable the exceptions that Table 2-8 on page 71 shows as having
configurable priority (see the SYSHNDCTRL register on page 120 and the DIS0 register on page 99).
For more information about hard faults, memory management faults, bus faults, and usage faults,

Exception Handlers
The processor handles exceptions using:
■ Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs). Interrupts (IRQx) are the exceptions handled by ISRs.
■ Fault Handlers. Hard fault, memory management fault, usage fault, and bus fault are fault
exceptions handled by the fault handlers.
■ System Handlers. NMI, PendSV, SVCall, SysTick, and the fault exceptions are all system
exceptions that are handled by system handlers.
2.5.4
Vector Table
The vector table contains the reset value of the stack pointer and the start addresses, also called
exception vectors, for all exception handlers. The vector table is constructed using the vector address
or offset shown in Table 2-8 on page 71. Figure 2-6 on page 73 shows the order of the exception
vectors in the vector table. The least-significant bit of each vector must be 1, indicating that the
exception handler is Thumb code

memory location, in the range 0x0000.0100 to 0x3FFF.FF00 (see “Vector Table” on page 73). Note
that when configuring the VTABLE register, the offset must be aligned on a 256-byte boundary.
2.5.5
Exception Priorities
As Table 2-8 on page 71 shows, all exceptions have an associated priority, with a lower priority
value indicating a higher priority and configurable priorities for all exceptions except Reset, Hard
fault, and NMI. If software does not configure any priorities, then all exceptions with a configurable
priority have a priority of 0. For information about configuring exception priorities, see page 117 and
page 103.
Note:
Configurable priority values for the Stellaris implementation are in the range 0-7. This means
that the Reset, Hard fault, and NMI exceptions, with fixed negative priority values, always
have higher priority than any other exception.
For example, assigning a higher priority value to IRQ[0] and a lower priority value to IRQ[1] means
that IRQ[1] has higher priority than IRQ[0]. If both IRQ[1] and IRQ[0] are asserted, IRQ[1] is processed
before IRQ[0].
If multiple pending exceptions have the same priority, the pending exception with the lowest exception
number takes precedence. For example, if both IRQ[0] and IRQ[1] are pending and have the same
priority, then IRQ[0] is processed before IRQ[1].
When the processor is executing an exception handler, the exception handler is preempted if a
higher priority exception occurs. If an exception occurs with the same priority as the exception being
handled, the handler is not preempted, irrespective of the exception number. However, the status
of the new interrupt changes to pending.
2.5.6
Interrupt Priority Grouping
To increase priority control in systems with interrupts, the NVIC supports priority grouping. This
grouping divides each interrupt priority register entry into two fields:
■ An upper field that defines the group priority
■ A lower field that defines a subpriority within the group
Only the group priority determines preemption of interrupt exceptions. When the processor is
executing an interrupt exception handler, another interrupt with the same group priority as the
interrupt being handled does not preempt the handler.
If multiple pending interrupts have the same group priority, the subpriority field determines the order
in which they are processed. If multiple pending interrupts have the same group priority and
subpriority, the interrupt with the lowest IRQ number is processed first.
For information about splitting the interrupt priority fields into group priority and subpriority, see
page 111.
2.5.7
Exception Entry and Return
Descriptions of exception handling use the following terms:
■ Preemption. When the processor is executing an exception handler, an exception can preempt
the exception handler if its priority is higher than the priority of the exception being handled. See
“Interrupt Priority Grouping” on page 74 for more information about preemption by an interrupt.
When one exception preempts another, the exceptions are called nested exceptions. See
“Exception Entry” on page 75 more information.
74
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
■ Return. Return occurs when the exception handler is completed, and there is no pending
exception with sufficient priority to be serviced and the completed exception handler was not
handling a late-arriving exception. The processor pops the stack and restores the processor
state to the state it had before the interrupt occurred. See “Exception Return” on page 76 for
more information.
■ Tail-Chaining. This mechanism speeds up exception servicing. On completion of an exception
handler, if there is a pending exception that meets the requirements for exception entry, the
stack pop is skipped and control transfers to the new exception handler.
■ Late-Arriving. This mechanism speeds up preemption. If a higher priority exception occurs
during state saving for a previous exception, the processor switches to handle the higher priority
exception and initiates the vector fetch for that exception. State saving is not affected by late
arrival because the state saved is the same for both exceptions. Therefore, the state saving
continues uninterrupted. The processor can accept a late arriving exception until the first instruction
of the exception handler of the original exception enters the execute stage of the processor. On
return from the exception handler of the late-arriving exception, the normal tail-chaining rules
apply.
2.5.7.1
Exception Entry
Exception entry occurs when there is a pending exception with sufficient priority and either the
processor is in Thread mode or the new exception is of higher priority than the exception being
handled, in which case the new exception preempts the original exception.
When one exception preempts another, the exceptions are nested.
Sufficient priority means the exception has more priority than any limits set by the mask registers
(see PRIMASK on page 57, FAULTMASK on page 58, and BASEPRI on page 59). An exception
with less priority than this is pending but is not handled by the processor.
When the processor takes an exception, unless the exception is a tail-chained or a late-arriving
exception, the processor pushes information onto the current stack. This operation is referred to as
stacking and the structure of eight data words is referred to as stack frame.

Immediately after stacking, the stack pointer indicates the lowest address in the stack frame. Unless
stack alignment is disabled, the stack frame is aligned to a double-word address. If the STKALIGN
bit of the Configuration Control (CCR) register is set, stack align adjustment is performed during
stacking.
The stack frame includes the return address, which is the address of the next instruction in the
interrupted program. This value is restored to the PC at exception return so that the interrupted
program resumes.
January 09, 2011
75
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
In parallel to the stacking operation, the processor performs a vector fetch that reads the exception
handler start address from the vector table. When stacking is complete, the processor starts executing
the exception handler. At the same time, the processor writes an EXC_RETURN value to the LR,
indicating which stack pointer corresponds to the stack frame and what operation mode the processor
was in before the entry occurred.
If no higher-priority exception occurs during exception entry, the processor starts executing the
exception handler and automatically changes the status of the corresponding pending interrupt to
active.
If another higher-priority exception occurs during exception entry, known as late arrival, the processor
starts executing the exception handler for this exception and does not change the pending status
of the earlier exception.
2.5.7.2
Exception Return
Exception return occurs when the processor is in Handler mode and executes one of the following
instructions to load the EXC_RETURN value into the PC:
■ An LDM or POP instruction that loads the PC
■ A BX instruction using any register
■ An LDR instruction with the PC as the destination
EXC_RETURN is the value loaded into the LR on exception entry. The exception mechanism relies
on this value to detect when the processor has completed an exception handler. The lowest four
bits of this value provide information on the return stack and processor mode. Table 2-10 on page 76
shows the EXC_RETURN values with a description of the exception return behavior.
EXC_RETURN bits 31:4 are all set. When this value is loaded into the PC, it indicates to the processor
that the exception is complete, and the processor initiates the appropriate exception return sequence.

■ A bus error on an instruction fetch or vector table load or a data access.
■ An internally detected error such as an undefined instruction or an attempt to change state with

Fault Escalation and Hard Faults
All fault exceptions except for hard fault have configurable exception priority (see SYSPRI1 on
page 117). Software can disable execution of the handlers for these faults (see SYSHNDCTRL on
page 120).
January 09, 2011
77
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
Usually, the exception priority, together with the values of the exception mask registers, determines
whether the processor enters the fault handler, and whether a fault handler can preempt another
fault handler as described in “Exception Model” on page 69.
In some situations, a fault with configurable priority is treated as a hard fault. This process is called
priority escalation, and the fault is described as escalated to hard fault. Escalation to hard fault
occurs when:
■ A fault handler causes the same kind of fault as the one it is servicing. This escalation to hard
fault occurs because a fault handler cannot preempt itself because it must have the same priority
as the current priority level.
■ A fault handler causes a fault with the same or lower priority as the fault it is servicing. This
situation happens because the handler for the new fault cannot preempt the currently executing
fault handler.
■ An exception handler causes a fault for which the priority is the same as or lower than the currently
executing exception.
■ A fault occurs and the handler for that fault is not enabled.
If a bus fault occurs during a stack push when entering a bus fault handler, the bus fault does not
escalate to a hard fault. Thus if a corrupted stack causes a fault, the fault handler executes even
though the stack push for the handler failed. The fault handler operates but the stack contents are
corrupted.
Note:
2.6.3
Only Reset and NMI can preempt the fixed priority hard fault. A hard fault can preempt any
exception other than Reset, NMI, or another hard fault.
Fault Status Registers and Fault Address Registers
The fault status registers indicate the cause of a fault. For bus faults and memory management
faults, the fault address register indicates the address accessed by the operation that caused the
fault, as shown in Table 2-12 on page 78.

Lockup
The processor enters a lockup state if a hard fault occurs when executing the NMI or hard fault
handlers. When the processor is in the lockup state, it does not execute any instructions. The
processor remains in lockup state until it is reset or an NMI occurs.
Note:
If the lockup state occurs from the NMI handler, a subsequent NMI does not cause the
processor to leave the lockup state.

Power Management
The Cortex-M3 processor sleep modes reduce power consumption:
■ Sleep mode stops the processor clock.
■ Deep-sleep mode stops the system clock and switches off the PLL and Flash memory.
The SLEEPDEEP bit of the System Control (SYSCTRL) register selects which sleep mode is used
(see page 113). For more information about the behavior of the sleep modes, see “System
Control” on page 160.
This section describes the mechanisms for entering sleep mode and the conditions for waking up
from sleep mode, both of which apply to Sleep mode and Deep-sleep mode.
2.7.1
Entering Sleep Modes
This section describes the mechanisms software can use to put the processor into one of the sleep
modes.
The system can generate spurious wake-up events, for example a debug operation wakes up the
processor. Therefore, software must be able to put the processor back into sleep mode after such
an event. A program might have an idle loop to put the processor back to sleep mode.
2.7.1.1
Wait for Interrupt
The wait for interrupt instruction, WFI, causes immediate entry to sleep mode unless the wake-up
condition is true (see “Wake Up from WFI or Sleep-on-Exit” on page 80). When the processor
executes a WFI instruction, it stops executing instructions and enters sleep mode. See the
Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual for more information.
2.7.1.2
Wait for Event
The wait for event instruction, WFE, causes entry to sleep mode conditional on the value of a one-bit
event register. When the processor executes a WFE instruction, it checks the event register. If the
register is 0, the processor stops executing instructions and enters sleep mode. If the register is 1,
the processor clears the register and continues executing instructions without entering sleep mode.
If the event register is 1, the processor must not enter sleep mode on execution of a WFE instruction.
Typically, this situation occurs if an SEV instruction has been executed. Software cannot access
this register directly.
See the Cortex™-M3 Instruction Set Technical User's Manual for more information.
2.7.1.3
Sleep-on-Exit
If the SLEEPEXIT bit of the SYSCTRL register is set, when the processor completes the execution
of an exception handler, it returns to Thread mode and immediately enters sleep mode. This
mechanism can be used in applications that only require the processor to run when an exception
occurs.
2.7.2
Wake Up from Sleep Mode
The conditions for the processor to wake up depend on the mechanism that cause it to enter sleep
mode.
January 09, 2011
79
Texas Instruments-Production Data
The Cortex-M3 Processor
2.7.2.1
Wake Up from WFI or Sleep-on-Exit
Normally, the processor wakes up only when it detects an exception with sufficient priority to cause
exception entry. Some embedded systems might have to execute system restore tasks after the
processor wakes up and before executing an interrupt handler. Entry to the interrupt handler can
be delayed by setting the PRIMASK bit and clearing the FAULTMASK bit. If an interrupt arrives that
is enabled and has a higher priority than current exception priority, the processor wakes up but does
not execute the interrupt handler until the processor clears PRIMASK. For more information about
PRIMASK and FAULTMASK, see page 57 and page 58.
2.7.2.2
Wake Up from WFE
The processor wakes up if it detects an exception with sufficient priority to cause exception entry.
In addition, if the SEVONPEND bit in the SYSCTRL register is set, any new pending interrupt triggers
an event and wakes up the processor, even if the interrupt is disabled or has insufficient priority to
cause exception entry. For more information about SYSCTRL, see page 113.

Functional Description
This chapter provides information on the Stellaris implementation of the Cortex-M3 processor
peripherals: SysTick, NVIC, SCB and MPU.
3.1.1
System Timer (SysTick)
Cortex-M3 includes an integrated system timer, SysTick, which 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 as:
■ An RTOS tick timer that fires at a programmable rate (for example, 100 Hz) and invokes a SysTick
routine.
■ A high-speed alarm timer using the system clock.
84
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
■ 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 used to measure time to completion and time used.
■ An internal clock source control based on missing/meeting durations. The COUNT bit in the
STCTRL 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.
The timer consists of three registers:
■ SysTick Control and Status (STCTRL): A control and status counter to configure its clock,
enable the counter, enable the SysTick interrupt, and determine counter status.
■ SysTick Reload Value (STRELOAD): The reload value for the counter, used to provide the
counter's wrap value.
■ SysTick Current Value (STCURRENT): The current value of the counter.
When enabled, the timer counts down on each clock from the reload value to zero, reloads (wraps)
to the value in the STRELOAD register on the next clock edge, then decrements on subsequent
clocks. Clearing the STRELOAD register disables the counter on the next wrap. When the counter
reaches zero, the COUNT status bit is set. The COUNT bit clears on reads.
Writing to the STCURRENT register clears the register and the COUNT 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.
The SysTick counter runs on the processor clock. If this clock signal is stopped for low power mode,
the SysTick counter stops. Ensure software uses aligned word accesses to access the SysTick
registers.
Note:
3.1.2
When the processor is halted for debugging, the counter does not decrement.
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
This section describes the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) and the registers it uses.
The NVIC supports:
■ 28 interrupts.
■ A programmable priority level of 0-7 for each interrupt. A higher level corresponds to a lower
priority, so level 0 is the highest interrupt priority.
■ Low-latency exception and interrupt handling.
■ Level and pulse detection of interrupt signals.
■ Dynamic reprioritization of interrupts.
■ Grouping of priority values into group priority and subpriority fields.
■ Interrupt tail-chaining.
■ An external Non-maskable interrupt (NMI).

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Cortex-M3 Peripherals
The processor automatically stacks its state on exception entry and unstacks this state on exception
exit, with no instruction overhead, providing low latency exception handling.
3.1.2.1
Level-Sensitive and Pulse Interrupts
The processor supports both level-sensitive and pulse interrupts. Pulse interrupts are also described
as edge-triggered interrupts.
A level-sensitive interrupt is held asserted until the peripheral deasserts the interrupt signal. Typically
this happens because the ISR accesses the peripheral, causing it to clear the interrupt request. A
pulse interrupt is an interrupt signal sampled synchronously on the rising edge of the processor
clock. To ensure the NVIC detects the interrupt, the peripheral must assert the interrupt signal for
at least one clock cycle, during which the NVIC detects the pulse and latches the interrupt.
When the processor enters the ISR, it automatically removes the pending state from the interrupt
(see “Hardware and Software Control of Interrupts” on page 86 for more information). For a
level-sensitive interrupt, if the signal is not deasserted before the processor returns from the ISR,
the interrupt becomes pending again, and the processor must execute its ISR again. As a result,
the peripheral can hold the interrupt signal asserted until it no longer needs servicing.
3.1.2.2
Hardware and Software Control of Interrupts
The Cortex-M3 latches all interrupts. A peripheral interrupt becomes pending for one of the following
reasons:
■ The NVIC detects that the interrupt signal is High and the interrupt is not active.
■ The NVIC detects a rising edge on the interrupt signal.
■ Software writes to the corresponding interrupt set-pending register bit, or to the Software Trigger
Interrupt (SWTRIG) register to make a Software-Generated Interrupt pending. See the INT bit
in the PEND0 register on page 100 or SWTRIG on page 105.
A pending interrupt remains pending until one of the following:
■ The processor enters the ISR for the interrupt, changing the state of the interrupt from pending
to active. Then:
– For a level-sensitive interrupt, when the processor returns from the ISR, the NVIC samples
the interrupt signal. If the signal is asserted, the state of the interrupt changes to pending,
which might cause the processor to immediately re-enter the ISR. Otherwise, the state of the
interrupt changes to inactive.
– For a pulse interrupt, the NVIC continues to monitor the interrupt signal, and if this is pulsed
the state of the interrupt changes to pending and active. In this case, when the processor
returns from the ISR the state of the interrupt changes to pending, which might cause the
processor to immediately re-enter the ISR.
If the interrupt signal is not pulsed while the processor is in the ISR, when the processor
returns from the ISR the state of the interrupt changes to inactive.
■ Software writes to the corresponding interrupt clear-pending register bit
– For a level-sensitive interrupt, if the interrupt signal is still asserted, the state of the interrupt
does not change. Otherwise, the state of the interrupt changes to inactive.

– For a pulse interrupt, the state of the interrupt changes to inactive, if the state was pending
or to active, if the state was active and pending.
3.1.3
System Control Block (SCB)
The System Control Block (SCB) provides system implementation information and system control,
including configuration, control, and reporting of the system exceptions.
3.1.4
Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
This section describes the Memory protection unit (MPU). The MPU divides the memory map into
a number of regions and defines the location, size, access permissions, and memory attributes of
each region. The MPU supports independent attribute settings for each region, overlapping regions,
and export of memory attributes to the system.
The memory attributes affect the behavior of memory accesses to the region. The Cortex-M3 MPU
defines eight separate memory regions, 0-7, and a background region.
When memory regions overlap, a memory access is affected by the attributes of the region with the
highest number. For example, the attributes for region 7 take precedence over the attributes of any
region that overlaps region 7.
The background region has the same memory access attributes as the default memory map, but is
accessible from privileged software only.
The Cortex-M3 MPU memory map is unified, meaning that instruction accesses and data accesses
have the same region settings.
If a program accesses a memory location that is prohibited by the MPU, the processor generates
a memory management fault, causing a fault exception and possibly causing termination of the
process in an OS environment. In an OS environment, the kernel can update the MPU region setting
dynamically based on the process to be executed. Typically, an embedded OS uses the MPU for
memory protection.
Configuration of MPU regions is based on memory types (see “Memory Regions, Types and
Attributes” on page 62 for more information).
Table 3-2 on page 87 shows the possible MPU region attributes. See the section called “MPU
Configuration for a Stellaris Microcontroller” on page 91 for guidelines for programming a
microcontroller implementation.

To avoid unexpected behavior, disable the interrupts before updating the attributes of a region that
the interrupt handlers might access.
Ensure software uses aligned accesses of the correct size to access MPU registers:
■ Except for the MPU Region Attribute and Size (MPUATTR) register, all MPU registers must
be accessed with aligned word accesses.
■ The MPUATTR register can be accessed with byte or aligned halfword or word accesses.

Cortex-M3 Peripherals
The processor does not support unaligned accesses to MPU registers.
When setting up the MPU, and if the MPU has previously been programmed, disable unused regions
to prevent any previous region settings from affecting the new MPU setup.
3.1.4.1
Updating an MPU Region
To update the attributes for an MPU region, the MPU Region Number (MPUNUMBER), MPU
Region Base Address (MPUBASE) and MPUATTR registers must be updated. Each register can
be programmed separately or with a multiple-word write to program all of these registers. You can
use the MPUBASEx and MPUATTRx aliases to program up to four regions simultaneously using
an STM instruction.
Updating an MPU Region Using Separate Words
This example simple code configures one region:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = size/enable
; R3 = attributes
; R4 = address
LDR R0,=MPUNUMBER
STR R1, [R0, #0x0]
STR R4, [R0, #0x4]
STRH R2, [R0, #0x8]
STRH R3, [R0, #0xA]
;
;
;
;
;

Disable a region before writing new region settings to the MPU if you have previously enabled the
region being changed. For example:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = size/enable
; R3 = attributes
; R4 = address
LDR R0,=MPUNUMBER
STR R1, [R0, #0x0]
BIC R2, R2, #1
STRH R2, [R0, #0x8]
STR R4, [R0, #0x4]

Software must use memory barrier instructions:
■ Before MPU setup, if there might be outstanding memory transfers, such as buffered writes, that
might be affected by the change in MPU settings.
■ After MPU setup, if it includes memory transfers that must use the new MPU settings.
However, memory barrier instructions are not required if the MPU setup process starts by entering
an exception handler, or is followed by an exception return, because the exception entry and
exception return mechanism cause memory barrier behavior.
Software does not need any memory barrier instructions during MPU setup, because it accesses
the MPU through the Private Peripheral Bus (PPB), which is a Strongly Ordered memory region.
88
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
For example, if all of the memory access behavior is intended to take effect immediately after the
programming sequence, then a DSB instruction and an ISB instruction should be used. A DSB is
required after changing MPU settings, such as at the end of context switch. An ISB is required if
the code that programs the MPU region or regions is entered using a branch or call. If the
programming sequence is entered using a return from exception, or by taking an exception, then
an ISB is not required.
Updating an MPU Region Using Multi-Word Writes
The MPU can be programmed directly using multi-word writes, depending how the information is
divided. Consider the following reprogramming:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = address
; R3 = size, attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPUNUMBER ; 0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
STR R1, [R0, #0x0] ; Region Number
STR R2, [R0, #0x4] ; Region Base Address
STR R3, [R0, #0x8] ; Region Attribute, Size and Enable
An STM instruction can be used to optimize this:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = address
; R3 = size, attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPUNUMBER ; 0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
STM R0, {R1-R3}
; Region number, address, attribute, size and enable
This operation can be done in two words for pre-packed information, meaning that the MPU Region
Base Address (MPUBASE) register (see page 137) contains the required region number and has
the VALID bit set. This method can be used when the data is statically packed, for example in a
boot loader:
; R1 = address and region number in one
; R2 = size and attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPUBASE
; 0xE000ED9C, MPU Region Base register
STR R1, [R0, #0x0] ; Region base address and region number combined
; with VALID (bit 4) set
STR R2, [R0, #0x4] ; Region Attribute, Size and Enable
An STM instruction can be used to optimize this:
; R1 = address and region number in one
; R2 = size and attributes in one
LDR R0,=MPUBASE
; 0xE000ED9C, MPU Region Base register
STM R0, {R1-R2}
; Region base address, region number and VALID bit,
; and Region Attribute, Size and Enable
Subregions
Regions of 256 bytes or more are divided into eight equal-sized subregions. Set the corresponding
bit in the SRD field of the MPU Region Attribute and Size (MPUATTR) register (see page 139) to
disable a subregion. The least-significant bit of the SRD field controls the first subregion, and the
most-significant bit controls the last subregion. Disabling a subregion means another region

Cortex-M3 Peripherals
overlapping the disabled range matches instead. If no other enabled region overlaps the disabled
subregion, the MPU issues a fault.
Regions of 32, 64, and 128 bytes do not support subregions. With regions of these sizes, the SRD
field must be configured to 0x00, otherwise the MPU behavior is unpredictable.
Example of SRD Use
Two regions with the same base address overlap. Region one is 128 KB, and region two is 512 KB.
To ensure the attributes from region one apply to the first 128 KB region, configure the SRD field for
region two to 0x03 to disable the first two subregions, as Figure 3-1 on page 90 shows.

MPU Access Permission Attributes
The access permission bits, TEX, S, C, B, AP, and XN of the MPUATTR register, control access to
the corresponding memory region. If an access is made to an area of memory without the required
permissions, then the MPU generates a permission fault.
Table 3-3 on page 90 shows the encodings for the TEX, C, B, and S access permission bits. All
encodings are shown for completeness, however the current implementation of the Cortex-M3 does
not support the concept of cacheability or shareability. Refer to the section called “MPU Configuration
for a Stellaris Microcontroller” on page 91 for information on programming the MPU for Stellaris
implementations.

3.1.4.3
MPU Mismatch
When an access violates the MPU permissions, the processor generates a memory management
fault (see “Exceptions and Interrupts” on page 61 for more information). The MFAULTSTAT register
indicates the cause of the fault. See page 124 for more information.

This bit is cleared by a read of the register or if the STCURRENT register
is written with any value.
If read by the debugger using the DAP, this bit is cleared only if the
MasterType bit in the AHB-AP Control Register is clear. Otherwise,
the COUNT bit is not changed by the debugger read. See the ARM®

Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The STRELOAD register specifies the start value to load into the SysTick Current Value
(STCURRENT) register when the counter reaches 0. The start value can be between 0x1 and
0x00FF.FFFF. A start value of 0 is possible but has no effect because the SysTick interrupt and the
COUNT bit are activated when counting from 1 to 0.
SysTick can be configured as a multi-shot timer, repeated over and over, firing every N+1 clock
pulses, where N is any value from 1 to 0x00FF.FFFF. For example, if a tick interrupt is required
every 100 clock pulses, 99 must be written into the RELOAD field.

NVIC Register Descriptions
This section lists and describes the NVIC registers, in numerical order by address offset.
The NVIC registers can only be fully accessed from privileged mode, but interrupts can be pended
while in unprivileged mode by enabling the Configuration and Control (CFGCTRL) register. Any
other unprivileged mode access causes a bus fault.
Ensure software uses correctly aligned register accesses. The processor does not support unaligned
accesses to NVIC registers.
An interrupt can enter the pending state even if it is disabled.
Before programming the VTABLE register to relocate the vector table, ensure the vector table
entries of the new vector table are set up for fault handlers, NMI, and all enabled exceptions such
as interrupts. For more information, see page 110.

Register 4: Interrupt 0-29 Set Enable (EN0), offset 0x100
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The EN0 register enables interrupts and shows which interrupts are enabled. Bit 0 corresponds to
Interrupt 0; bit 29 corresponds to Interrupt 29.
See Table 2-9 on page 72 for interrupt assignments.
If a pending interrupt is enabled, the NVIC activates the interrupt based on its priority. If an interrupt
is not enabled, asserting its interrupt signal changes the interrupt state to pending, but the NVIC
never activates the interrupt, regardless of its priority.

System Control Block (SCB) Register Descriptions
This section lists and describes the System Control Block (SCB) registers, in numerical order by
address offset. The SCB registers can only be accessed from privileged mode.
All registers must be accessed with aligned word accesses except for the FAULTSTAT and
SYSPRI1-SYSPRI3 registers, which can be accessed with byte or aligned halfword or word accesses.
The processor does not support unaligned accesses to system control block registers.

Register 19: Interrupt Control and State (INTCTRL), offset 0xD04
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The INCTRL register provides a set-pending bit for the NMI exception, and set-pending and
clear-pending bits for the PendSV and SysTick exceptions. In addition, bits in this register indicate
the exception number of the exception being processed, whether there are preempted active
exceptions, the exception number of the highest priority pending exception, and whether any interrupts
are pending.
When writing to INCTRL, the effect is unpredictable when writing a 1 to both the PENDSV and
UNPENDSV bits, or writing a 1 to both the PENDSTSET and PENDSTCLR bits.

1
On a read, indicates an NMI exception is pending.
On a write, changes the NMI exception state to pending.
Because NMI is the highest-priority exception, normally the processor
enters the NMI exception handler as soon as it registers the setting of
this bit, and clears this bit on entering the interrupt handler. A read of
this bit by the NMI exception handler returns 1 only if the NMI signal is
reasserted while the processor is executing that handler.

Register 21: Application Interrupt and Reset Control (APINT), offset 0xD0C
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The APINT register provides priority grouping control for the exception model, endian status for
data accesses, and reset control of the system. To write to this register, 0x05FA must be written to
the VECTKEY field, otherwise the write is ignored.
The PRIGROUP field indicates the position of the binary point that splits the INTx fields in the
Interrupt Priority (PRIx) registers into separate group priority and subpriority fields. Table
3-8 on page 111 shows how the PRIGROUP value controls this split. The bit numbers in the Group
Priority Field and Subpriority Field columns in the table refer to the bits in the INTA field. For the
INTB field, the corresponding bits are 15:13; for INTC, 23:21; and for INTD, 31:29.
Note:
Determining preemption of an exception uses only the group priority field.

Register 27: System Handler Control and State (SYSHNDCTRL), offset 0xD24
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The SYSHNDCTRL register enables the system handlers, and indicates the pending status of the
usage fault, bus fault, memory management fault, and SVC exceptions as well as the active status
of the system handlers.
If a system handler is disabled and the corresponding fault occurs, the processor treats the fault as
a hard fault.
This register can be modified to change the pending or active status of system exceptions. An OS
kernel can write to the active bits to perform a context switch that changes the current exception
type.
Caution – Software that changes the value of an active bit in this register without correct adjustment
to the stacked content can cause the processor to generate a fault exception. Ensure software that writes
to this register retains and subsequently restores the current active status.
If the value of a bit in this register must be modified after enabling the system handlers, a
read-modify-write procedure must be used to ensure that only the required bit is modified.

In a fault handler, the true faulting address can be determined by:
1. Read and save the Memory Management Fault Address (MMADDR) or Bus Fault Address
(FAULTADDR) value.
2. Read the MMARV bit in MFAULTSTAT, or the BFARV bit in BFAULTSTAT to determine if the
MMADDR or FAULTADDR contents are valid.
Software must follow this sequence because another higher priority exception might change the
MMADDR or FAULTADDR value. For example, if a higher priority handler preempts the current
fault handler, the other fault might change the MMADDR or FAULTADDR value.

1
A data bus error has occurred, but the return address in the
stack frame is not related to the instruction that caused the error.
When this bit is set, a fault address is not written to the FAULTADDR
register.
This fault is asynchronous. Therefore, if the fault is detected when the
priority of the current process is higher than the bus fault priority, the
bus fault becomes pending and becomes active only when the processor
returns from all higher-priority processes. If a precise fault occurs before
the processor enters the handler for the imprecise bus fault, the handler
detects that both the IMPRE bit is set and one of the precise fault status
bits is set.
This bit is cleared by writing a 1 to it.

Register 33: MPU Control (MPUCTRL), offset 0xD94
Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The MPUCTRL register enables the MPU, enables the default memory map background region,
and enables use of the MPU when in the hard fault, Non-maskable Interrupt (NMI), and Fault Mask
Register (FAULTMASK) escalated handlers.
When the ENABLE and PRIVDEFEN bits are both set:
■ For privileged accesses, the default memory map is as described in “Memory Model” on page 61.
Any access by privileged software that does not address an enabled memory region behaves
as defined by the default memory map.
■ Any access by unprivileged software that does not address an enabled memory region causes
a memory management fault.
Execute Never (XN) and Strongly Ordered rules always apply to the System Control Space regardless
of the value of the ENABLE bit.
When the ENABLE bit is set, at least one region of the memory map must be enabled for the system
to function unless the PRIVDEFEN bit is set. If the PRIVDEFEN bit is set and no regions are enabled,
then only privileged software can operate.
When the ENABLE bit is clear, the system uses the default memory map, which has the same
memory attributes as if the MPU is not implemented (see Table 2-5 on page 63 for more information).
The default memory map applies to accesses from both privileged and unprivileged software.
When the MPU is enabled, accesses to the System Control Space and vector table are always
permitted. Other areas are accessible based on regions and whether PRIVDEFEN is set.
Unless HFNMIENA is set, the MPU is not enabled when the processor is executing the handler for
an exception with priority –1 or –2. These priorities are only possible when handling a hard fault or
NMI exception or when FAULTMASK is enabled. Setting the HFNMIENA bit enables the MPU when
operating with these two priorities.

MPU Default Region
This bit enables privileged software access to the default memory map.
Value Description
0
If the MPU is enabled, this bit disables use of the default memory
map. Any memory access to a location not covered by any
enabled region causes a fault.
1
If the MPU is enabled, this bit enables use of the default memory
map as a background region for privileged software accesses.
When this bit is set, the background region acts as if it is region number
-1. Any region that is defined and enabled has priority over this default
map.
If the MPU is disabled, the processor ignores this bit.

Note:
This register can only be accessed from privileged mode.
The MPUATTR register defines the region size and memory attributes of the MPU region specified
by the MPU Region Number (MPUNUMBER) register and enables that region and any subregions.
The MPUATTR register is accessible using word or halfword accesses with the most-significant
halfword holding the region attributes and the least-significant halfword holds the region size and
the region and subregion enable bits.
The MPU access permission attribute bits, XN, AP, TEX, S, C, and B, control access to the
corresponding memory region. If an access is made to an area of memory without the required
permissions, then the MPU generates a permission fault.
The SIZE field defines the size of the MPU memory region specified by the MPUNUMBER register
as follows:
(Region size in bytes) = 2(SIZE+1)
The smallest permitted region size is 32 bytes, corresponding to a SIZE value of 4. Table

JTAG Interface

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)
See the ARM® Debug Interface V5 Architecture Specification for more information on the ARM
JTAG controller.

Functional Description
A high-level conceptual drawing of the JTAG module is shown in Figure 4-1 on page 143. 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 4-2 on page 148 for a list of implemented instructions).
See “JTAG and Boundary Scan” on page 538 for JTAG timing diagrams.
4.2.1
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 4-1 on page 144. 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.
4.2.1.2
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.
4.2.1.3
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 4-2 on page 146.
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.
144
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
4.2.1.4
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.
4.2.1.5
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.
4.2.2
JTAG TAP Controller
The JTAG TAP controller state machine is shown in Figure 4-2 on page 146. 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 148.
4.2.4
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.
146
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
4.2.4.1
GPIO Functionality
When the microcontroller is reset with either a POR or RST, the JTAG port pins default to their JTAG
configurations. The default configuration includes enabling the pull-up resistors (setting GPIOPUR
to 1 for PB7 and PC[3:0]) and enabling the alternate hardware function (setting GPIOAFSEL to
1 for PB7 and PC[3:0]) on the JTAG pins.
It is possible for software to configure these pins as GPIOs after reset by writing 0s to PB7 and
PC[3:0] in the GPIOAFSEL register. If the user does not require the JTAG port for debugging or
board-level testing, this provides five more GPIOs for use in the design.
Caution – If the JTAG pins are used as GPIOs in a design, PB7 and PC2 cannot have external pull-down
resistors connected to both of them at the same time. If both pins are pulled Low during reset, the
controller has unpredictable behavior. If this happens, remove one or both of the pull-down resistors,
and apply RST or power-cycle the part.
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.
4.2.4.2
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.
4.2.4.3
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, Capture IR, Exit1 IR, Update IR,
Run Test Idle, Select DR, Select IR, Capture IR, Exit1 IR, Update IR, Run Test Idle, Select DR,
Select IR, and Test-Logic-Reset states.
Stepping through the JTAG TAP Instruction Register (IR) load sequences of the TAP state machine
twice without shifting in a new instruction enables the SWD interface and disables the JTAG interface.
For more information on this operation and the SWD interface, see the ARM® Debug Interface V5
Architecture Specification.
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.

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.
4.4
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.
4.4.1
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 4-2 on page 148. A detailed explanation of each instruction, along
with its associated Data Register, follows.

BYPASS
Connects TDI to TDO through a single Shift Register chain.
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
148
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
Data Register can be accessed to sample and shift out the current data and load new data into the
Boundary Scan Data Register.
4.4.1.2
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.
4.4.1.3
SAMPLE/PRELOAD Instruction
The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction connects the Boundary Scan Data Register chain between
TDI and TDO. This instruction samples the current state of the pad pins for observation and preloads
new test data. Each GPIO pad has an associated input, output, and output enable signal. When the
TAP controller enters the Capture DR state during this instruction, the input, output, and output-enable
signals to each of the GPIO pads are captured. These samples are serially shifted out of TDO while
the TAP controller is in the Shift DR state and can be used for observation or comparison in various
tests.
While these samples of the inputs, outputs, and output enables are being shifted out of the Boundary
Scan Data Register, new data is being shifted into the Boundary Scan Data Register from TDI.
Once the new data has been shifted into the Boundary Scan Data Register, the data is saved in the
parallel load registers when the TAP controller enters the Update DR state. This update of the
parallel load register preloads data into the Boundary Scan Data Register that is associated with
each input, output, and output enable. This preloaded data can be used with the EXTEST and
INTEST instructions to drive data into or out of the controller. Please see “Boundary Scan Data
Register” on page 151 for more information.
4.4.1.4
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 151 for more
information.
4.4.1.5
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 151 for more information.
4.4.1.6
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 151 for more information.
4.4.1.7
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 150 for more
information.
4.4.1.8
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 150 for
more information.
4.4.2
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.
4.4.2.1
IDCODE Data Register
The format for the 32-bit IDCODE Data Register defined by the IEEE Standard 1149.1 is shown in
Figure 4-3 on page 150. 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 0x1BA0.0477. 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 4-5 on page 151. 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.
5.1
Functional Description
The System Control module provides the following capabilities:
■ Device identification (see “Device Identification” on page 152)
■ Local control, such as reset (see “Reset Control” on page 152), power (see “Power
Control” on page 157) and clock control (see “Clock Control” on page 157)
■ System control (Run, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep modes); see “System Control” on page 160
5.1.1
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.
5.1.2
Reset Control
This section discusses aspects of hardware functions during reset as well as system software
requirements following the reset sequence.
5.1.2.1
Reset Sources
The controller has six sources of reset:
1. External reset input pin (RST) assertion; see “External RST Pin” on page 153.
2. Power-on reset (POR); see “Power-On Reset (POR)” on page 153.
3. Internal brown-out (BOR) detector; see “Brown-Out Reset (BOR)” on page 155.
4. Software-initiated reset (with the software reset registers); see “Software Reset” on page 156.
5. A watchdog timer reset condition violation; see “Watchdog Timer Reset” on page 156.
6. Internal low drop-out (LDO) regulator output.
Table 5-1 provides a summary of results of the various reset operations.

b. Programmable on a module-by-module basis using the Software Reset Control Registers.
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 external reset
is the cause, and then all the other bits in the RESC register are cleared.
Note:
5.1.2.2
The main oscillator is used for external resets and power-on resets; the internal oscillator
is used during the internal process by internal reset and clock verification circuitry.
Power-On Reset (POR)
Note:
The power-on reset also resets the JTAG controller. An external reset does not.
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 153.
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 19-6 on page 541.
5.1.2.3
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 5-1 on page 154.

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 540).
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 5-2 on page 154.

5.1.2.4
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
A drop in the input voltage resulting in the assertion of the internal brown-out detector can be used
to reset the controller. This is initially disabled and may be enabled by software.
The system provides a brown-out detection circuit that triggers if the power supply (VDD) drops
below a brown-out threshold voltage (VBTH). The circuit is provided to guard against improper
operation of logic and peripherals that operate off the power supply voltage (VDD) and not the LDO
voltage. If a brown-out condition is detected, the system may generate a controller interrupt or a
system reset. The BOR circuit has a digital filter that protects against noise-related detection for the
interrupt condition. This feature may be optionally enabled.
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 sequence is as follows:
1. When VDD drops below VBTH, an internal BOR condition is set.
2. If the BORWT bit in the PBORCTL register is set and BORIOR is not set, the BOR condition is
resampled, after a delay specified by BORTIM, to determine if the original condition was caused
by noise. If the BOR condition is not met the second time, then no further action is taken.
3. If the BOR condition exists, an internal reset is asserted.
4. The internal reset is released and the controller fetches and loads the initial stack pointer, the
initial program counter, the first instruction designated by the program counter, and begins
execution.
5. The internal BOR condition is reset after 500 µs to prevent another BOR condition from being
set before software has a chance to investigate the original cause.
The internal Brown-Out Reset timing is shown in Figure 19-7 on page 541.

System Control
5.1.2.5
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 160). 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 19-8 on page 542.
5.1.2.6
Watchdog Timer Reset
The watchdog timer module's function is to prevent system hangs. The watchdog timer can be
configured to generate an interrupt to the controller on its first time-out, and to generate a reset
signal on its second time-out.
After the first time-out event, the 32-bit counter is reloaded with the value of the Watchdog Timer
Load (WDTLOAD) register, 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 19-9 on page 542.
5.1.2.7
Low Drop-Out (LDO)
A reset can be initiated when the internal low drop-out (LDO) regulator output goes unregulated.
This is initially disabled and may be enabled by software. LDO is controlled with the LDO Power
Control (LDOPCTL) register. The LDO reset sequence is as follows:
1. LDO goes unregulated and the LDOARST bit in the LDOARST register is set.
2. An internal reset is asserted.

initial program counter, the first instruction designated by the program counter, and begins

The LDO reset timing is shown in Figure 19-10 on page 542.
5.1.3
Power Control
®
The Stellaris microcontroller provides an integrated LDO regulator that is 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.
5.1.4
Clock Control
System control determines the control of clocks in this part.
5.1.4.1
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%.
■ 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. The crystal value
allowed depends on whether the main oscillator is used as the clock reference source to the
PLL. If so, the crystal 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 172).
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 5-2 on page 157 shows how the various clock sources can be used in a system.

register. This register controls the following clock functionality:
■ Source of clocks in sleep and deep-sleep modes

157
Texas Instruments-Production Data
System Control
■ System clock derived from PLL or other clock source
■ Enabling/disabling of oscillators and PLL
■ Clock divisors
■ Crystal input selection
Figure 5-4 on page 158 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 16.67 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 16.667 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). Table 5-3 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

a. This parameter is used in functions such as SysCtlClockSet() in the Stellaris Peripheral Driver Library.
b. SYSCTL_SYSDIV_1 does not set the USESYSDIV bit. As a result, using this parameter without enabling the PLL results
in the system clock having the same frequency as the clock source.
5.1.4.3
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 172) 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.
5.1.4.4
Main PLL Frequency Configuration
The main PLL is disabled by default during power-on reset and is enabled later by software if
required. Software configures the main PLL input reference clock source, specifies the output divisor
to set the system clock frequency, and enables the main PLL to drive the output.
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 176). The internal translation provides a translation within ± 1% of the
targeted PLL VCO frequency.
The Crystal Value field (XTAL) in the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register (see page 172)
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.
5.1.4.5
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 register fields (see page 172).

5.1.4.6
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
19-7 on page 538). During the relock time, the affected PLL is not usable as a clock reference.
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 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 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.
5.1.4.7
Clock Verification Timers
There are three identical clock verification circuits that can be enabled though software. The circuit
checks the faster clock by a slower clock using timers:
■ The main oscillator checks the PLL.
■ The main oscillator checks the internal oscillator.
■ The internal oscillator divided by 64 checks the main oscillator.
If the verification timer function is enabled and a failure is detected, the main clock tree is immediately
switched to a working clock and an interrupt is generated to the controller. Software can then
determine the course of action to take. The actual failure indication and clock switching does not
clear without a write to the CLKVCLR register, an external reset, or a POR reset. The clock
verification timers are controlled by the PLLVER , IOSCVER , and MOSCVER bits in the RCC register.
5.1.5
System Control
For power-savings purposes, the RCGCn , SCGCn , and DCGCn registers control the clock gating
logic for each peripheral or block in the system while the controller is in Run, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep
mode, respectively. The DC1 , DC2 and DC4 registers act as a write mask for the RCGCn , SCGCn,
and DCGCn registers.
There are three 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.
160
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
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 “Power Management” on page 79 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. 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 “Power Management” on page 79
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
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 register to be /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.
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.
5.2
Initialization and Configuration
The PLL is configured using direct register writes to the RCC register. The steps required to
successfully change the PLL-based system clock are:
1. Bypass the PLL and system clock divider by setting the BYPASS bit and clearing the USESYS
bit in the RCC register. This configures the system to run off a “raw” clock source and allows
for the new PLL configuration to be validated before switching the system clock to the PLL.
2. Select the crystal value (XTAL) and oscillator source (OSCSRC), and clear the PWRDN and OEN
bits in RCC. Setting the XTAL field automatically pulls valid PLL configuration data for the
appropriate crystal, and clearing the PWRDN and OEN bits powers and enables the PLL and its
output.

System Control
3. Select the desired system divider (SYSDIV) in RCC 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.
Note:
5.3
If the BYPASS bit is cleared before the PLL locks, it is possible to render the device unusable.

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.

The PLL VCO frequency is 200 MHz.
If the SYSDIV value is less than MINSYSDIV (see page 183), and the

If the PLL is not being used, the SYSDIV value can be less than

Register 19: 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.

Register 24: Deep Sleep Mode Clock Gating Control Register 1 (DCGC1),
offset 0x124
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.

Internal Memory
The LM3S615 microcontroller comes with 8 KB of bit-banded SRAM and 32 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.
6.2.1
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
January 09, 2011
209
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, see “Bit-Banding” on page 65.
6.2.2
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 548 for a preprogrammed flash-resident utility used to
download code to the flash memory of a device without the use of a debug interface.
6.2.2.1
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.
6.2.2.2
Flash Memory Protection
The user is provided two forms of flash protection per 2-KB flash blocks in two 32-bit wide
registers.The protection policy for each form is controlled by individual bits (per policy per block) in
the 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 6-1 on page 210.
Table 6-1. Flash Protection Policy Combinations

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.
6.2.2.3
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 220) 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 219).
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 221).
6.2.2.4
Flash Memory Protection by Disabling Debug Access
Flash memory may also be protected by permanently disabling access to the Debug Access Port
(DAP) through the JTAG and SWD interfaces. Access is disabled by clearing the DBG field of the
FMPRE register.
If the DBG field in the Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE) register is programmed
to 0x2, access to the DAP is enabled through the JTAG and SWD interfaces. If clear, access to the
DAP is disabled. The DBG field programming becomes permanent and irreversible after a commit
sequence is performed.
In the initial state provided from the factory, access is enabled in order to facilitate code development
and debug. Access to the DAP may be disabled at the end of the manufacturing flow, once all tests
have passed and software has been loaded. This change does not take effect until the next power-up
of the device. Note that it is recommended that disabling access to the DAP be combined with a
mechanism for providing end-user installable updates (if necessary) such as the Stellaris boot loader.
January 09, 2011
211
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Internal Memory
Important: Once the DBG field is cleared and committed, this field can never be restored to the
factory-programmed value—which means the JTAG/SWD interface to the debug module
can never be re-enabled. This sequence does NOT disable the JTAG controller, it only
disables the access of the DAP through the JTAG or SWD interfaces. The JTAG interface
remains functional and access to the Test Access Port remains enabled, allowing the
user to execute the IEEE JTAG-defined instructions (for example, to perform boundary
scan operations).
When using the FMPRE bits to protect Flash memory from being read as data (to mark sets of 2-KB
blocks of Flash memory as execute-only), these one-time-programmable bits should be written at
the same time that the debug disable bits are programmed. Mechanisms to execute the one-time
code sequence to disable all debug access include:
■ Selecting the debug disable option in the Stellaris boot loader
■ Loading the debug disable sequence into SRAM and running it once from SRAM after
programming the final end application code into Flash memory
6.3
Flash Memory Initialization and Configuration
This section shows examples for using the flash controller to perform various operations on the
contents of the flash memory.
6.3.1
Changing Flash Protection Bits
As discussed in “Flash Memory Protection” on page 210, changes to the protection bits must be
committed before they take effect. The sequence below is used change and commit a block protection
bit in the FMPRE or FMPPE registers. The sequence to change and commit a bit in software is as
follows:
1. The Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE) and Flash Memory Protection Program
Enable (FMPPE) registers are written, changing the intended bit(s). The action of these changes
can be tested by software while in this state.
2. The Flash Memory Address (FMA) register (see page 215) bit 0 is set to 1 if the FMPPE register
is to be committed; otherwise, a 0 commits the FMPRE register.
3. The Flash Memory Control (FMC) register (see page 217) is written with the COMT bit set. This
initiates a write sequence and commits the changes.
There is a special sequence to change and commit the DBG bits in the Flash Memory Protection
Read Enable (FMPRE) register. This sequence also sets and commits any changes from 1 to 0 in
the block protection bits (for execute-only) in the FMPRE register.
1. The Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE) register is written, changing the intended
bit(s). The action of these changes can be tested by software while in this state.
2. The Flash Memory Address (FMA) register (see page 215) is written with a value of 0x900.
3. The Flash Memory Control (FMC) register (see page 217) is written with the COMT bit set. This
initiates a write sequence and commits the changes.
Below is an example code sequence to permanently disable the JTAG and SWD interface to the
debug module using DriverLib:
212
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
#include "hw_types.h"
#include "hw_flash.h"
void
permanently_disable_jtag_swd(void)
{
//
// Clear the DBG field of the FMPRE register. Note that the value
// used in this instance does not affect the state of the BlockN
// bits, but were the value different, all bits in the FMPRE are
// affected by this function!
//
HWREG(FLASH_FMPRE) &= 0x3fffffff;
//
// The following sequence activates the one-time
// programming of the FMPRE register.
//
HWREG(FLASH_FMA) = 0x900;
HWREG(FLASH_FMC) = (FLASH_FMC_WRKEY | FLASH_FMC_COMT);
//
// Wait until the operation is complete.
//
while (HWREG(FLASH_FMC) & FLASH_FMC_COMT)
{
}
}
6.3.2
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.
During a Flash memory operation (write, page erase, or mass erase) access to the Flash memory
is inhibited. As a result, instruction and literal fetches are held off until the Flash memory operation
is complete. If instruction execution is required during a Flash memory operation, the code that is
executing must be placed in SRAM and executed from there while the flash operation is in progress.
6.3.2.1
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.
6.3.2.2
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.

6.3.2.3
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.

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 215). If the access is a write
access, the data contained in the Flash Memory Data (FMD) register (see page 216) 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.

Register 8: Flash Memory Protection Read Enable (FMPRE), offset 0x130
Note:
Offset is relative to System Control base address of 0x400FE000.
This register stores the read-only protection bits for each 2-KB flash block (see the FMPPE registers
for the execute-only protection bits). This register is loaded during the power-on reset sequence.
The factory settingsare a value of 1 for all implemented banks. This implements a policy of open
access and programmability. The register bits may be changed by writing the specific register bit.
However, this register is R/W0; the user can only change the protection bit from a 1 to a 0 (and may
NOT change a 0 to a 1). The changes are not permanent until the register is committed (saved), at
which point the bit change is permanent. If a bit is changed from a 1 to a 0 and not committed, it
may be restored by executing a power-on reset sequence. For additional information, see the “Flash

Functional Description
Important: All GPIO pins are inputs by default (GPIODIR=0 and GPIOAFSEL=0), with the exception
of the five JTAG pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). The JTAG pins default to their JTAG
functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting an external reset
(RST) puts both groups of pins back to their default state.
While debugging systems where PB7 is being used as a GPIO, care must be taken to
ensure that a Low value is not applied to the pin when the part is reset. Because PB7
reverts to the TRST function after reset, a Low value on the pin causes the JTAG
controller to be reset, resulting in a loss of JTAG communication.

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.
7.2.1.1
Data Direction Operation
The GPIO Direction (GPIODIR) register (see page 235) 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.
7.2.1.2
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 234) by using bits [9:2] of the address bus as a mask.
228
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
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 7-3 on page 229, 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 7-4 on page 229.

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 236)
■ GPIO Interrupt Both Edges (GPIOIBE) register (see page 237)
■ GPIO Interrupt Event (GPIOIEV) register (see page 238)

the GPIO Raw Interrupt Status (GPIORIS) and GPIO Masked Interrupt Status (GPIOMIS) registers
(see page 240 and page 241). As the name implies, the GPIOMIS register only shows interrupt
conditions that are allowed to be passed to the controller. The GPIORIS register indicates that a
GPIO pin meets the conditions for an interrupt, but has not necessarily been sent to the controller.
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 Interrupt 0-31 Set Enable (EN0)
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 PB4,
and wait for the ADC interrupt or the ADC interrupt must be disabled in the EN0 register and the
PortB interrupt handler must poll the ADC registers until the conversion is completed. See page 98
for more information.
Interrupts are cleared by writing a 1 to the appropriate bit of the GPIO Interrupt Clear (GPIOICR)
register (see page 242).
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.
7.2.3
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 243), 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.
7.2.4
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.
7.2.5
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.
7.3
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) default to general-purpose input mode
(GPIODIR=0 and GPIOAFSEL=0). Table 7-1 on page 231 shows all possible configurations of the
GPIO pads and the control register settings required to achieve them. Table 7-2 on page 231 shows
how a rising edge interrupt would be configured for pin 2 of a GPIO port.

GPIO Port C: 0x4000.6000
GPIO Port D: 0x4000.7000
GPIO Port E: 0x4002.4000
Note that the GPIO module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 202). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the GPIO module clock is enabled before
any GPIO module registers are accessed.
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 register is 0x0000.0000 for all GPIO pins, with
the exception of the five JTAG pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). These five pins default to JTAG
functionality. Because of this, the default reset value of GPIOAFSEL for GPIO Port B is
0x0000.0080 while the default reset value for Port C is 0x0000.000F.

General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
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 235).
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 228 for examples of
reads and writes.

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.

Register 6: GPIO Interrupt Mask (GPIOIM), offset 0x410
The GPIOIM register is the interrupt mask register. Bits set to High in GPIOIM allow the corresponding
pins to trigger their individual interrupts and the combined GPIOINTR line. Clearing a bit disables
interrupt triggering on that pin. All bits are cleared by a reset.

Register 7: GPIO Raw Interrupt Status (GPIORIS), offset 0x414
The GPIORIS register is the raw interrupt status register. Bits read High in GPIORIS reflect the
status of interrupt trigger conditions detected (raw, prior to masking), indicating that all the
requirements have been met, before they are finally allowed to trigger by the GPIO Interrupt Mask
(GPIOIM) register (see page 239). Bits read as zero indicate that corresponding input pins have not
initiated an interrupt. All bits are cleared by a reset.

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 Interrupt 0-31 Set Enable (EN0)
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 PB4,
and wait for the ADC interrupt or the ADC interrupt must be disabled in the EN0 register and the
PortB interrupt handler must poll the ADC registers until the conversion is completed. See page 98
for more information.
GPIOMIS is the state of the interrupt after masking.

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.
Important: All GPIO pins are inputs by default (GPIODIR=0 and GPIOAFSEL=0), with the exception
of the five JTAG pins (PB7 and PC[3:0]). The JTAG pins default to their JTAG
functionality (GPIOAFSEL=1). A Power-On-Reset (POR) or asserting an external reset
(RST) puts both groups of pins back to their default state.
While debugging systems where PB7 is being used as a GPIO, care must be taken to
ensure that a Low value is not applied to the pin when the part is reset. Because PB7
reverts to the TRST function after reset, a Low value on the pin causes the JTAG
controller to be reset, resulting in a loss of JTAG communication.
Caution – If the JTAG pins are used as GPIOs in a design, PB7 and PC2 cannot have external pull-down
resistors connected to both of them at the same time. If both pins are pulled Low during reset, the
controller has unpredictable behavior. If this happens, remove one or both of the pull-down resistors,
and apply RST or power-cycle the part.
It is possible to create a software sequence that prevents the debugger from connecting to the Stellaris®
microcontroller. If the program code loaded into flash immediately changes the JTAG pins to their
GPIO functionality, the debugger may not have enough time to connect and halt the controller before
the JTAG pin functionality switches. This may lock the debugger out of the part. This can be avoided
with a software routine that restores JTAG functionality based on an external or software trigger.

Register 14: GPIO Open Drain Select (GPIOODR), offset 0x50C
The GPIOODR register is the open drain control register. Setting a bit in this register enables the
open drain configuration of the corresponding GPIO pad. When open drain mode is enabled, the
corresponding bit should also be set in the GPIO Digital Input Enable (GPIODEN) register (see
page 252). 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.
When using the I2C module, in addition to configuring the pin to open drain, the GPIO Alternate
Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register bits for the I2C clock and data pins should be set to 1 (see
examples in “Initialization and Configuration” on page 230).

Note:
Pins configured as digital inputs are Schmitt-triggered.
The GPIODEN register is the digital input enable register. By default, all GPIO signals are configured
as digital inputs at reset. If a pin is being used as a GPIO or its Alternate Hardware Function, it
should be configured as a digital input. The only time that a pin should not be configured as a digital
input is when the GPIO pin is configured to be one of the analog input signals for the analog
comparators.

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 three GPTM blocks (Timer0, Timer1,
and Timer 2). 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 84) and the PWM timer in the PWM module
(see “PWM Timer” on page 488).
The General-Purpose Timers provide the following features:
■ Three 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
266
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
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 277),
the GPTM TimerA Mode (GPTMTAMR) register (see page 278), and the GPTM TimerB Mode
(GPTMTBMR) register (see page 280). 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.
8.2.1
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 291) and the GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR) register
(see page 292). The prescale counters are initialized to 0x00: the GPTM TimerA Prescale
(GPTMTAPR) register (see page 295) and the GPTM TimerB Prescale (GPTMTBPR) register (see
page 296).
8.2.2
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 291
■ GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR) register [15:0], see page 292
■ GPTM TimerA (GPTMTAR) register [15:0], see page 299
■ GPTM TimerB (GPTMTBR) register [15:0], see page 300
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]
8.2.2.1
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 278), and there is no need to write to the GPTM TimerB Mode (GPTMTBMR) register.
When software writes the TAEN bit in the GPTM Control (GPTMCTL) register (see page 282), 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.
January 09, 2011
267
Texas Instruments-Production Data
General-Purpose Timers
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 287), and holds it until it is cleared by writing the GPTM Interrupt
Clear (GPTMICR) register (see page 289). If the time-out interrupt is enabled in the GPTM Interrupt
Mask (GPTMIMR) register (see page 285), the GPTM also sets the TATOMIS bit in the GPTM Masked
Interrupt Status (GPTMMIS) register (see page 288). 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.
8.2.2.2
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 293) 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 GPTMIMR, the
GPTM also sets the RTCMIS bit in GPTMMIS 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.
8.2.3
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 277). 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.
8.2.3.1
16-Bit One-Shot/Periodic Timer Mode
In 16-bit one-shot and periodic timer modes, the timer is configured as a 16-bit down-counter with
an optional 8-bit prescaler that effectively extends the counting range of the timer to 24 bits. The
selection of one-shot or periodic mode is determined by the value written to the TnMR field of the
GPTMTnMR register. The optional prescaler is loaded into the GPTM Timern Prescale (GPTMTnPR)
register.
When software writes the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register, the timer begins counting down from
its preloaded value. Once the 0x0000 state is reached, the timer reloads its start value from
GPTMTnILR and GPTMTnPR on the next cycle. If configured to be a one-shot timer, the timer stops
counting and clears the TnEN bit in the GPTMCTL register. If configured as a periodic timer, it
continues counting.
268
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
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 GPTMIMR, 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).

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 8-2 on page 270 shows how input edge count mode works. In this case, the timer start value
is set to GPTMTnILR =0x000A and the match value is set to GPTMTnMATCHR =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 GPTMTnMATCHR 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 GPTMCTL 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
GPTMTnILR register.
Figure 8-3 on page 271 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 (GPTMTnMATCHR). Software has the capability of inverting the output PWM signal by
setting the TnPWML bit in the GPTMCTL register.
Figure 8-4 on page 272 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 GPTMTnIRL=0xC350 and the match value is
GPTMTnMATCHR=0x411A.

Initialization and Configuration
To use the general-purpose timers, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the TIMER0,
TIMER1, and TIMER2 bits in the RCGC1 register.
This section shows module initialization and configuration examples for each of the supported timer
modes.
8.3.1
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.
272
January 09, 2011

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 273. To re-enable the timer, repeat
the sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
8.3.2
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 GPTM asserts the
RTCRIS bit in the GPTMRIS register and continues counting until Timer A is disabled or a hardware
reset. The interrupt is cleared by writing the RTCCINT bit in the GPTMICR register.
8.3.3
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 273. To re-enable the timer, repeat
the sequence. A timer configured in Periodic mode does not stop counting after it times out.
8.3.4
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 274
through step 9 on page 274.
8.3.5
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.
8.3.6
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 TnPWML 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.

Register Map
Table 8-3 on page 275 lists the GPTM registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to that timer’s base address:
■ Timer0: 0x4003.0000
■ Timer1: 0x4003.1000
■ Timer2: 0x4003.2000
Note that the Timer module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 196). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the Timer module clock is enabled before
any Timer module registers are accessed.

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.
302
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 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.
9.3
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.

Register Map

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 two 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:
■ Two analog input channels
■ Single-ended and differential-input configurations
■ On-chip internal temperature sensor
■ Sample rate of 500 thousand 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
– GPIO
■ Hardware averaging of up to 64 samples for improved accuracy
■ Converter uses an internal 3-V reference

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.
10.2.1
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 10-1 on page 326 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
(ADCSSCTLn) registers, where "n" corresponds to the sequence number. The ADCSSMUXn
326
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
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.
10.2.2
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.
10.2.2.1
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.
10.2.2.2
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.

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
10.2.2.3
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.
10.2.3
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 347). There is a single averaging circuit and all input channels receive the same
amount of averaging whether they are single-ended or differential.

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.
10.2.5
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 10-2 on page 328). 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 10-2 on page 328).
Table 10-2. Differential Sampling Pairs
Differential Pair
Analog Inputs
0
0 and 1
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
■ 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 10-2 on page 329 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 10-3 on page 330 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
10-4 on page 330 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 360).

Internal Temperature Sensor
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 10-5 on page 331.

10.3
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.
10.3.1
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 190).
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.
10.3.2
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:
January 09, 2011
331
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
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.
10.4
Register Map
Table 10-3 on page 332 lists the ADC registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to the ADC base address of 0x4003.8000.
Note that the ADC module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 190). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the ADC module clock is enabled before
any ADC module registers are accessed.

This register controls the amount of hardware averaging applied to conversion results. The final
conversion result stored in the FIFO is averaged from 2 AVG consecutive ADC samples at the specified
ADC speed. If AVG is 0, the sample is passed directly through without any averaging. If AVG=6,
then 64 consecutive ADC samples are averaged to generate one result in the sequencer FIFO. An
AVG = 7 provides unpredictable results.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 378). 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.
11.2.1
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 11-2 on page 363 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 374) and the 6-bit fractional part is loaded with the UART Fractional Baud-Rate Divisor
(UARTFBRD) register (see page 375). 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 376), 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
11.2.3
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 372) is asserted as soon as
January 09, 2011
363
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs)
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 362).
The start bit is valid and recognized if UnRx is still low on the eighth cycle of Baud16, otherwise it
is ignored. After a valid start bit is detected, 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.
11.2.4
FIFO Operation
The UART has two 16-entry FIFOs; one for transmit and one for receive. Both FIFOs are accessed
via the UART Data (UARTDR) register (see page 368). 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 376).
FIFO status can be monitored via the UART Flag (UARTFR) register (see page 372) 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 380). 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.
11.2.5
Interrupts
The UART can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Overrun Error
■ Break Error
■ Parity Error
■ Framing Error
■ Receive Timeout
■ Transmit (when condition defined in the TXIFLSEL bit in the UARTIFLS register is met)
364
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
■ 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 385).
The interrupt events that can trigger a controller-level interrupt are defined in the UART Interrupt
Mask (UARTIM ) register (see page 382) 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 384).
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 386).
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.
11.2.6
Loopback Operation
The UART can be placed into an internal loopback mode for diagnostic or debug work. This is
accomplished by setting the LBE bit in the UARTCTL register (see page 378). In loopback mode,
data transmitted on UnTx is received on the UnRx input.
11.3
Initialization and Configuration
To use the UARTs, the peripheral clock must be enabled by setting the UART0 or UART1 bits in the
RCGC1 register.
This section discusses the steps that are required 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
■ 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 363, 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 374) should be set to 10.
The value to be loaded into the UARTFBRD register (see page 375) is calculated by the equation:
UARTFBRD[DIVFRAC] = integer(0.8507 * 64 + 0.5) = 54
January 09, 2011
365
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UARTs)
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.
11.4
Register Map
Table 11-1 on page 366 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
■ UART1: 0x4000.D000
Note that the UART module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 196). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the UART module clock is enabled before
any UART module registers are accessed.
Note:
The UART must be disabled (see the UARTEN bit in the UARTCTL register on page 378)
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.

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.

UART Overrun Error
When this bit is set to 1, data is received and the FIFO is already full.
This bit is cleared to 0 by a write to UARTECR.
The FIFO contents remain valid since no further data is written when
the FIFO is full, only the contents of the shift register are overwritten.
The CPU must now read the data in order to empty the FIFO.

UART Break Error
This bit is set to 1 when a break condition is detected, indicating that
the received data input was held Low for longer than a full-word
transmission time (defined as start, data, parity, and stop bits).
This bit is cleared to 0 by a write to UARTECR.
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 receive data input
goes to a 1 (marking state) and the next valid start bit is received.

The UARTCTL register is the control register. All the bits are cleared on reset except for the

To enable the UART module, the UARTEN bit must be set to 1. If software requires a configuration

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.

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

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
400
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
internal FIFO memories allowing up to eight 16-bit values to be stored independently in both transmit
and receive modes.
12.2.1
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 1.5 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 419). 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 412).
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 544 to view SSI timing parameters.
12.2.2
FIFO Operation
12.2.2.1
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 416), 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.
12.2.2.2
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.
12.2.3
Interrupts
The SSI can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Transmit FIFO service
■ Receive FIFO service
January 09, 2011
401
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
■ 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 420). 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 422 and page 423, respectively).
12.2.4
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.
12.2.4.1

In this mode, SSIClk and SSIFss are forced Low, and the transmit data line SSITx is tristated
whenever the SSI is idle. Once the bottom entry of the transmit FIFO contains data, SSIFss is
pulsed High for one SSIClk period. The value to be transmitted is also transferred from the transmit
FIFO to the serial shift register of the transmit logic. On the next rising edge of SSIClk, the MSB
of the 4 to 16-bit data frame is shifted out on the SSITx pin. Likewise, the MSB of the received data
is shifted onto the SSIRx pin by the off-chip serial slave device.
Both the SSI and the off-chip serial slave device then clock each data bit into their serial shifter on
the falling edge of each SSIClk. The received data is transferred from the serial shifter to the receive
FIFO on the first rising edge of SSIClk after the LSB has been latched.
Figure 12-3 on page 403 shows the Texas Instruments synchronous serial frame format when
back-to-back frames are transmitted.

12.2.4.2
Freescale SPI Frame Format
The Freescale SPI interface is a four-wire interface where the SSIFss signal behaves as a slave
select. The main feature of the Freescale SPI format is that the inactive state and phase of the
SSIClk signal are programmable through the SPO and SPH bits within the SSISCR0 control register.
SPO Clock Polarity Bit
When the SPO clock polarity control bit is Low, it produces a steady state Low value on the SSIClk
pin. If the SPO bit is High, a steady state High value is placed on the SSIClk pin when data is not
being transferred.

SPH Phase Control Bit
The SPH phase control bit selects the clock edge that captures data and allows it to change state.
It has the most impact on the first bit transmitted by either allowing or not allowing a clock transition
before the first data capture edge. When the SPH phase control bit is Low, data is captured on the
first clock edge transition. If the SPH bit is High, data is captured on the second clock edge transition.
12.2.4.3

Single and continuous transmission signal sequences for Freescale SPI format with SPO=0 and

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.
404
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
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.
12.2.4.4
Freescale SPI Frame Format with SPO=0 and SPH=1
The transfer signal sequence for Freescale SPI format with SPO=0 and SPH=1 is shown in Figure

■ 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. The master SSITx output is enabled. After
a further one half SSIClk period, both master and slave valid data is enabled onto their respective
transmission lines. At the same time, the SSIClk is enabled with a rising edge transition.
Data is then captured on the falling edges and propagated on the rising edges of the SSIClk signal.
In the case of a single word transfer, after all bits have been transferred, the SSIFss line is returned
to its idle High state one SSIClk period after the last bit has been captured.

For continuous back-to-back transfers, the SSIFss pin is held Low between successive data words
and termination is the same as that of the single word transfer.

In this configuration, during idle periods:
■ SSIClk is forced High
■ 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, which causes slave data to be immediately
transferred onto the SSIRx line of the master. The master SSITx output pad is enabled.
One half period later, valid master data is transferred to the SSITx line. Now that both the master
and slave data have been set, the SSIClk master clock pin becomes Low after one further half
SSIClk period. This means that data is captured on the falling edges and propagated on the rising
edges of the SSIClk signal.
In the case of a single word transmission, after all bits of the data word are 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.

Freescale SPI Frame Format with SPO=1 and SPH=1
The transfer signal sequence for Freescale SPI format with SPO=1 and SPH=1 is shown in Figure

■ 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. The master SSITx output pad is enabled.
After a further one-half SSIClk period, both master and slave data are enabled onto their respective
transmission lines. At the same time, SSIClk is enabled with a falling edge transition. Data is then
captured on the rising edges and propagated on the falling edges of the SSIClk signal.
After all bits have been transferred, in the case of a single word transmission, the SSIFss line is
returned to its idle high state one SSIClk period after the last bit has been captured.
For continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSIFss pin remains in its active Low state, until
the final bit of the last word has been captured, and then returns to its idle state as described above.
For continuous back-to-back transfers, the SSIFss pin is held Low between successive data words
and termination is the same as that of the single word transfer.

MICROWIRE Frame Format
Figure 12-10 on page 408 shows the MICROWIRE frame format, again for a single frame. Figure

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.

output data
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 12-12 on page 409 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:
January 09, 2011
409
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
■ 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.
12.4
Register Map
Table 12-1 on page 411 lists the SSI registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to that SSI module’s base address:
■ SSI0: 0x4000.8000
Note that the SSI module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 196). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the SSI module clock is enabled before
any SSI module registers are accessed.
Note:
The SSI must be disabled (see the SSE bit in the SSICR1 register) before any of the control
registers are reprogrammed.

0x0000
SSI Serial Clock Rate
The value SCR is used to generate the transmit and receive bit rate of
the SSI. The bit rate is:
BR=FSSIClk/(CPSDVSR * (1 + SCR))
where CPSDVSR is an even value from 2-254 programmed in the
SSICPSR register, and SCR is a value from 0-255.

SPH
R/W
0
SSI Serial Clock Phase
This bit is only applicable to the Freescale SPI Format.
The SPH control bit selects the clock edge that captures data and allows
it to change state. It has the most impact on the first bit transmitted by
either allowing or not allowing a clock transition before the first data
capture edge.
When the SPH bit is 0, data is captured on the first clock edge transition.
If SPH is 1, data is captured on the second clock edge transition.
6
SPO

SSI Serial Clock Polarity
This bit is only applicable to the Freescale SPI Format.
When the SPO bit is 0, it produces a steady state Low value on the

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.

Register 5: SSI Clock Prescale (SSICPSR), offset 0x010
SSICPSR is the clock prescale register and specifies the division factor by which the system clock
must be internally divided before further use.
The value programmed into this register must be an even number between 2 and 254. The
least-significant bit of the programmed number is hard-coded to zero. If an odd number is written
to this register, data read back from this register has the least-significant bit as zero.

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

Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Interface
The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus provides bi-directional data transfer through a two-wire design
(a serial data line SDA and a serial clock line SCL), and interfaces to external I2C devices such as
serial memory (RAMs and ROMs), networking devices, LCDs, tone generators, and so on. The I2C
bus may also be used for system testing and diagnostic purposes in product development and
manufacture. The LM3S615 microcontroller includes one I2C module, providing the ability to interact
(both send and receive) with other I2C devices on the bus.
®
The Stellaris I2C interface has the following features:
■ Devices on the I2C bus can be designated as either a master or a slave
– Supports both sending and receiving data as either a master or a slave
– Supports simultaneous master and slave operation
■ Four I2C modes
– Master transmit
– Master receive
– Slave transmit
– Slave receive
■ Two transmission speeds: Standard (100 Kbps) and Fast (400 Kbps)
■ Master and slave interrupt generation
– Master generates interrupts when a transmit or receive operation completes (or aborts due
to an error)
– Slave generates interrupts when data has been sent or requested by a master
■ Master with arbitration and clock synchronization, multimaster support, and 7-bit addressing
mode

Functional Description
I2C module is comprised of both master and slave functions which are implemented as separate
peripherals. For proper operation, the SDA and SCL pins must be connected to bi-directional
open-drain pads. A typical I2C bus configuration is shown in Figure 13-2 on page 438.
See “Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Interface” on page 546 for I2C timing diagrams.

I2C Bus Functional Overview
The I2C bus uses only two signals: SDA and SCL, named I2CSDA and I2CSCL on Stellaris
microcontrollers. SDA is the bi-directional serial data line and SCL is the bi-directional serial clock
line. The bus is considered idle when both lines are High.
Every transaction on the I2C bus is nine bits long, consisting of eight data bits and a single
acknowledge bit. The number of bytes per transfer (defined as the time between a valid START
and STOP condition, described in “START and STOP Conditions” on page 439) is unrestricted, but
each byte has to be followed by an acknowledge bit, and data must be transferred MSB first. When
a receiver cannot receive another complete byte, it can hold the clock line SCL Low and force the
transmitter into a wait state. The data transfer continues when the receiver releases the clock SCL.

13.2.1.1
START and STOP Conditions
The protocol of the I2C bus defines two states to begin and end a transaction: START and STOP.
A High-to-Low transition on the SDA line while the SCL is High is defined as a START condition,
and a Low-to-High transition on the SDA line while SCL is High is defined as a STOP condition.
The bus is considered busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition. See Figure
13-3 on page 439.

Data Format with 7-Bit Address
Data transfers follow the format shown in Figure 13-4 on page 439. After the START condition, a
slave address is sent. This address is 7-bits long followed by an eighth bit, which is a data direction
bit (R/S bit in the I2CMSA register). A zero indicates a transmit operation (send), and a one indicates
a request for data (receive). A data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition generated
by the master, however, a master can initiate communications with another device on the bus by
generating a repeated START condition and addressing another slave without first generating a
STOP condition. Various combinations of receive/send formats are then possible within a single
transfer.

Data
The first seven bits of the first byte make up the slave address (see Figure 13-5 on page 439). The
eighth bit determines the direction of the message. A zero in the R/S position of the first byte means
that the master will write (send) data to the selected slave, and a one in this position means that
the master will receive data from the slave.

13.2.1.3
Data Validity
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of the clock, and the data line can
only change when SCL is Low (see Figure 13-6 on page 440).

13.2.1.4
Acknowledge
All bus transactions have a required acknowledge clock cycle that is generated by the master. During
the acknowledge cycle, the transmitter (which can be the master or slave) releases the SDA line.
To acknowledge the transaction, the receiver must pull down SDA during the acknowledge clock
cycle. The data sent out by the receiver during the acknowledge cycle must comply with the data
validity requirements described in “Data Validity” on page 439.
When a slave receiver does not acknowledge the slave address, SDA must be left High by the slave
so that the master can generate a STOP condition and abort the current transfer. If the master
device is acting as a receiver during a transfer, it is responsible for acknowledging each transfer
made by the slave. Since the master controls the number of bytes in the transfer, it signals the end
of data to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge on the last data byte. The slave
transmitter must then release SDA to allow the master to generate the STOP or a repeated START
condition.
13.2.1.5
Arbitration
A master may start a transfer only if the bus is idle. It's possible for two or more masters to generate
a START condition within minimum hold time of the START condition. In these situations, an
arbitration scheme takes place on the SDA line, while SCL is High. During arbitration, the first of
the competing master devices to place a '1' (High) on SDA while another master transmits a '0'
(Low) will switch off its data output stage and retire until the bus is idle again.
Arbitration can take place over several bits. Its first stage is a comparison of address bits, and if
both masters are trying to address the same device, arbitration continues on to the comparison of
data bits.
13.2.2
Available Speed Modes
The I2C clock rate is determined by the parameters: CLK_PRD, TIMER_PRD, SCL_LP, and SCL_HP.
where:
CLK_PRD is the system clock period
SCL_LP is the low phase of SCL (fixed at 6)
SCL_HP is the high phase of SCL (fixed at 4)
TIMER_PRD is the programmed value in the I2C Master Timer Period (I2CMTPR) register (see
page 458).
The I2C clock period is calculated as follows:
SCL_PERIOD = 2*(1 + TIMER_PRD)*(SCL_LP + SCL_HP)*CLK_PRD
For example:
440
January 09, 2011
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
CLK_PRD = 50 ns
TIMER_PRD = 2
SCL_LP=6
SCL_HP=4
yields a SCL frequency of:
1/T = 333 Khz
Table 13-1 on page 441 gives examples of timer period, system clock, and speed mode (Standard
or Fast).

Interrupts
The I2C can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Master transaction completed
■ Master arbitration lost
■ Master transaction error
■ Slave transaction received
■ Slave transaction requested
There is a separate interrupt signal for the I2C master and I2C slave modules. While both modules
can generate interrupts for multiple conditions, only a single interrupt signal is sent to the interrupt
controller.
13.2.3.1
I2C Master Interrupts
The I2C master module generates an interrupt when a transaction completes (either transmit or
receive), when arbitration is lost, or when an error occurs during a transaction. To enable the I2C
master interrupt, software must set the IM bit in the I2C Master Interrupt Mask (I2CMIMR) register.
When an interrupt condition is met, software must check the ERROR and ARBLST bits in the I2C
Master Control/Status (I2CMCS) register to verify that an error didn't occur during the last transaction
and to ensure that arbitration has not been lost. An error condition is asserted if the last transaction
wasn't acknowledged by the slave. If an error is not detected and the master has not lost arbitration,
January 09, 2011
441
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Interface
the application can proceed with the transfer. The interrupt is cleared by writing a 1 to the IC bit in
the I2C Master Interrupt Clear (I2CMICR) register.
If the application doesn't require the use of interrupts, the raw interrupt status is always visible via
the I2C Master Raw Interrupt Status (I2CMRIS) register.
13.2.3.2
I2C Slave Interrupts
The slave module can generate an interrupt when data has been received or requested. This interrupt
is enabled by writing a 1 to the DATAIM bit in the I2C Slave Interrupt Mask (I2CSIMR) register.
Software determines whether the module should write (transmit) or read (receive) data from the I2C
Slave Data (I2CSDR) register, by checking the RREQ and TREQ bits of the I2C Slave Control/Status
(I2CSCSR) register. If the slave module is in receive mode and the first byte of a transfer is received,
the FBR bit is set along with the RREQ bit. The interrupt is cleared by writing a 1 to the DATAIC bit
in the I2C Slave Interrupt Clear (I2CSICR) register.
If the application doesn't require the use of interrupts, the raw interrupt status is always visible via
the I2C Slave Raw Interrupt Status (I2CSRIS) register.
13.2.4
Loopback Operation
The I2C modules can be placed into an internal loopback mode for diagnostic or debug work. This
is accomplished by setting the LPBK bit in the I2C Master Configuration (I2CMCR) register. In
loopback mode, the SDA and SCL signals from the master and slave modules are tied together.

slave mode.

Initialization and Configuration
The following example shows how to configure the I2C module to send a single byte as a master.
This assumes the system clock is 20 MHz.
1. Enable the I2C clock by writing a value of 0x0000.1000 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. Also, be sure to enable the same pins for Open Drain operation.
4. Initialize the I2C Master by writing the I2CMCR register with a value of 0x0000.0020.
5. Set the desired SCL clock speed of 100 Kbps by writing the I2CMTPR register with the correct
value. The value written to the I2CMTPR register represents the number of system clock periods
in one SCL clock period. The TPR value is determined by the following equation:
January 09, 2011
449
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Interface
TPR = (System Clock / (2 * (SCL_LP + SCL_HP) * SCL_CLK)) - 1;
TPR = (20MHz / (2 * (6 + 4) * 100000)) - 1;
TPR = 9
Write the I2CMTPR register with the value of 0x0000.0009.
6. Specify the slave address of the master and that the next operation will be a Send by writing
the I2CMSA register with a value of 0x0000.0076. This sets the slave address to 0x3B.
7. Place data (byte) to be sent in the data register by writing the I2CMDR register with the desired
data.
8. Initiate a single byte send of the data from Master to Slave by writing the I2CMCS register with
a value of 0x0000.0007 (STOP, START, RUN).
9. Wait until the transmission completes by polling the I2CMCS register’s BUSBSY bit until it has
been cleared.
13.4
Register Map
Table 13-2 on page 450 lists the I2C registers. All addresses given are relative to the I2C base
addresses for the master and slave:
■ I2C 0: 0x4002.0000
Note that the I2C module clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 196). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the I2C module clock is enabled before
any I2C module registers are accessed.
®
The hw_i2c.h file in the StellarisWare Driver Library uses a base address of 0x800 for the I2C slave
registers. Be aware when using registers with offsets between 0x800 and 0x818 that StellarisWare
uses an offset between 0x000 and 0x018 with the slave base address.

Register 2: I2C Master Control/Status (I2CMCS), offset 0x004
This register accesses four control bits when written, and accesses seven status bits when read.
The status register consists of seven bits, which when read determine the state of the I2C bus
controller.
The control register consists of four bits: the RUN, START, STOP, and ACK bits. The START bit causes
the generation of the START, or REPEATED START condition.
The STOP bit determines if the cycle stops at the end of the data cycle, or continues on to a burst.
To generate a single send cycle, the I2C Master Slave Address (I2CMSA) register is written with
the desired address, the R/S bit is set to 0, and the Control register is written with ACK=X (0 or 1),
STOP=1, START=1, and RUN=1 to perform the operation and stop. When the operation is completed
(or aborted due an error), the interrupt pin becomes active and the data may be read from the
I2CMDR register. When the I2C module operates in Master receiver mode, the ACK bit must be set
normally to logic 1. This causes the I2C bus controller to send an acknowledge automatically after
each byte. This bit must be reset when the I2C bus controller requires no further data to be sent
from the slave transmitter.

Register 11: I2C Slave Control/Status (I2CSCSR), offset 0x804
This register accesses one control bit when written, and three status bits when read.
The read-only Status register consists of three bits: the FBR, RREQ, and TREQ bits. The First
Byte Received (FBR) bit is set only after the Stellaris device detects its own slave address and
receives the first data byte from the I2C master. The Receive Request (RREQ) bit indicates that
the Stellaris I2C device has received a data byte from an I2C master. Read one data byte from the
I2C Slave Data (I2CSDR) register to clear the RREQ bit. The Transmit Request (TREQ) bit
indicates that the Stellaris I2C device is addressed as a Slave Transmitter. Write one data byte into
the I2C Slave Data (I2CSDR) register to clear the TREQ bit.
The write-only Control register consists of one bit: the DA bit. The DA bit enables and disables the
Stellaris I2C slave operation.

Analog Comparators
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. See the Comparator Operating
Mode tables in “Functional Description” on page 474 for more information.
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:
■ Three independent integrated analog comparators
■ 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

Functional Description
Important: It is recommended that the Digital-Input enable (the GPIODEN bit in the GPIO module)
for the analog input pin be disabled to prevent excessive current draw from the I/O
pads.
The comparator compares the VIN- and VIN+ inputs to produce an output, VOUT.
VIN- < VIN+, VOUT = 1
VIN- > VIN+, VOUT = 0
As shown in Figure 14-2 on page 475, 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). The operating modes of the
comparators are shown in the Comparator Operating Mode tables.
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. The proper pad configuration for the comparator input and output pins
are described in the Comparator Operating Mode tables.

Internal Reference Programming
The structure of the internal reference is shown in Figure 14-3 on page 476. This is controlled by a
single configuration register (ACREFCTL). Table 14-4 on page 476 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.
14.4
Register Map
Table 14-5 on page 478 lists the comparator registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment
to the register’s address, relative to the Analog Comparator base address of 0x4003.C000.
Note that the analog comparator module clock must be enabled before the registers can be
programmed (see page 196). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the ADC module clock
is enabled before any ADC module registers are accessed.

Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)

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.
15.2.2
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 15-3 on page 489 shows the behavior of the counter and the relationship of these pulses
when the counter is in Count-Down mode. Figure 15-4 on page 489 shows the behavior of the counter
and the relationship of these pulses when the counter is in Count-Up/Down mode.

PWM Signal Generator
The PWM generator takes these pulses (qualified by the direction signal), and generates two PWM
signals. In Count-Down mode, there are four events that can affect the PWM signal: zero, load,
match A down, and match B down. In Count-Up/Down mode, there are six events that can affect
the PWM signal: zero, load, match A down, match A up, match B down, and match B up. The match
A or match B events are ignored when they coincide with the zero or load events. If the match A
and match B events coincide, the first signal, PWMA, is generated based only on the match A event,
and the second signal, PWMB, is generated based only on the match B event.
For each event, the effect on each output PWM signal is programmable: it can be left alone (ignoring
the event), it can be toggled, it can be driven Low, or it can be driven High. These actions can be
used to generate a pair of PWM signals of various positions and duty cycles, which do or do not
overlap. Figure 15-5 on page 490 shows the use of Count-Up/Down mode to generate a pair of
center-aligned, overlapped PWM signals that have different duty cycles.

In this example, the first generator is set to drive High on match A up, drive Low on match A down,
and ignore the other four events. The second generator is set to drive High on match B up, drive
Low on match B down, and ignore the other four events. Changing the value of comparator A
changes the duty cycle of the PWMA signal, and changing the value of comparator B changes the
duty cycle of the PWMB signal.
15.2.4
Dead-Band Generator
The two PWM signals produced by the PWM generator are passed to the dead-band generator. If
disabled, the PWM signals simply pass through unmodified. If enabled, the second PWM signal is
lost and two PWM signals are generated based on the first PWM signal. The first output PWM signal
is the input signal with the rising edge delayed by a programmable amount. The second output
PWM signal is the inversion of the input signal with a programmable delay added between the falling
edge of the input signal and the rising edge of this new signal.
This is therefore a pair of active High signals where one is always High, except for a programmable
amount of time at transitions where both are Low. These signals are therefore suitable for driving
a half-H bridge, with the dead-band delays preventing shoot-through current from damaging the
power electronics. Figure 15-6 on page 490 shows the effect of the dead-band generator on an input
PWM signal.

Interrupt/ADC-Trigger Selector
The PWM generator also takes the same four (or six) counter events and uses them to generate
an interrupt or an ADC trigger. Any of these events or a set of these events can be selected as a
source for an interrupt; when any of the selected events occur, an interrupt is generated. Additionally,
the same event, a different event, the same set of events, or a different set of events can be selected
as a source for an ADC trigger; when any of these selected events occur, an ADC trigger pulse is
generated. The selection of events allows the interrupt or ADC trigger to occur at a specific position
within the PWM signal. Note that interrupts and ADC triggers are based on the raw events; delays
in the PWM signal edges caused by the dead-band generator are not taken into account.

15.2.6
Synchronization Methods
There is a global reset capability that can synchronously reset any or all of the counters in the PWM
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.
15.2.7
Fault Conditions
There are two external conditions that affect the PWM block; the signal input on the Fault pin and
the stalling of the controller by a debugger. There are two mechanisms available to handle such
conditions: the output signals can be forced into an inactive state and/or the PWM timers can be
stopped.
Each output signal has a fault bit. If set, a fault input signal causes the corresponding output signal
to go into the inactive state. If the inactive state is a safe condition for the signal to be in for an
extended period of time, this keeps the output signal from driving the outside world in a dangerous
manner during the fault condition. A fault condition can also generate a controller interrupt.
Each PWM generator can also be configured to stop counting during a stall condition. The user can
select for the counters to run until they reach zero then stop, or to continue counting and reloading.
A stall condition does not generate a controller interrupt.
15.2.8
Output Control Block
With 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.
15.3
Initialization and Configuration
The following example shows how to initialize the PWM Generator 0 with a 25-KHz frequency, and
with a 25% duty cycle on the PWM0 pin and a 75% duty cycle on the PWM1 pin. This example assumes
the system clock is 20 MHz.

1. Enable the PWM clock by writing a value of 0x0010.0000 to the RCGC0 register in the System
Control module.
2. In the GPIO module, enable the appropriate pins for their alternate function using the
GPIOAFSEL register.
3. Configure the Run-Mode Clock Configuration (RCC) register in the System Control module
to use the PWM divide (USEPWMDIV) and set the divider (PWMDIV) to divide by 2 (000).
4. Configure the PWM generator for countdown mode with immediate updates to the parameters.
■ Write the PWM0CTL register with a value of 0x0000.0000.
■ Write the PWM0GENA register with a value of 0x0000.008C.
■ Write the PWM0GENB register with a value of 0x0000.080C.
5. Set the period. For a 25-KHz frequency, the period = 1/25,000, or 40 microseconds. The PWM
clock source is 10 MHz; the system clock divided by 2. This translates to 400 clock ticks per
period. Use this value to set the PWM0LOAD register. In Count-Down mode, set the Load field
in the PWM0LOAD register to the requested period minus one.
■ Write the PWM0LOAD register with a value of 0x0000.018F.
6. Set the pulse width of the PWM0 pin for a 25% duty cycle.
■ Write the PWM0CMPA register with a value of 0x0000.012B.
7. Set the pulse width of the PWM1 pin for a 75% duty cycle.
■ Write the PWM0CMPB register with a value of 0x0000.0063.
8. Start the timers in PWM generator 0.
■ Write the PWM0CTL register with a value of 0x0000.0001.
9. Enable PWM outputs.
■ Write the PWMENABLE register with a value of 0x0000.0003.

Table 15-1 on page 492 lists the PWM registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment to the
register’s address, relative to the PWM base address of 0x4002.8000. Note that the PWM module
clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see page 190). There must be a
delay of 3 system clocks after the PWM module clock is enabled before any PWM module registers
are accessed.

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

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

Register 4: PWM Output Inversion (PWMINVERT), offset 0x00C
This register provides a master control of the polarity of the PWM signals on the device pins. The
PWM signals generated by the 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 502).
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.

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 495). If this register is
rewritten before the actual update occurs, the previous value is never used and is lost.

Register 35: PWM1 Generator A Control (PWM1GENA), offset 0x0A0
Register 36: PWM2 Generator A Control (PWM2GENA), offset 0x0E0
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 522), 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 523). 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.

Signal Tables
The following tables list the signals available for each pin. Functionality is enabled by software with
the GPIOAFSEL register.
Important: All multiplexed pins are GPIOs by default, with the exception of the five JTAG pins (PB7
and PC[3:0]) which default to the JTAG functionality.
Table 17-1 on page 526 shows the pin-to-signal-name mapping, including functional characteristics
of the signals. Table 17-2 on page 528 lists the signals in alphabetical order by signal name.
Table 17-3 on page 530 groups the signals by functionality, except for GPIOs. Table 17-4 on page 532
lists the GPIO pins and their alternate functionality.
Note:
All digital inputs are Schmitt triggered.

Serial Flash Loader
A
Serial Flash Loader
A.1
Serial Flash Loader
®
The Stellaris serial flash loader is a preprogrammed flash-resident utility used to download code
to the flash memory of a device without the use of a debug interface. The serial flash loader uses
a simple packet interface to provide synchronous communication with the device. The flash loader
runs off the crystal and does not enable the PLL, so its speed is determined by the crystal used.
The two serial interfaces that can be used are the UART0 and SSI0 interfaces. For simplicity, both
the data format and communication protocol are identical for both serial interfaces.
A.2
Interfaces
Once communication with the flash loader is established via one of the serial interfaces, that interface
is used until the flash loader is reset or new code takes over. For example, once you start
communicating using the SSI port, communications with the flash loader via the UART are disabled
until the device is reset.
A.2.1
UART
The Universal Asynchronous Receivers/Transmitters (UART) communication uses a fixed serial
format of 8 bits of data, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The baud rate used for communication is
automatically detected by the flash loader and can be any valid baud rate supported by the host
and the device. The auto detection sequence requires that the baud rate should be no more than
1/32 the crystal frequency of the board that is running the serial flash loader. This is actually the
same as the hardware limitation for the maximum baud rate for any UART on a Stellaris device
which is calculated as follows:
Max Baud Rate = System Clock Frequency / 16
In order to determine the baud rate, the serial flash loader needs to determine the relationship
between its own crystal frequency and the baud rate. This is enough information for the flash loader
to configure its UART to the same baud rate as the host. This automatic baud-rate detection allows
the host to use any valid baud rate that it wants to communicate with the device.
The method used to perform this automatic synchronization relies on the host sending the flash
loader two bytes that are both 0x55. This generates a series of pulses to the flash loader that it can
use to calculate the ratios needed to program the UART to match the host’s baud rate. After the
host sends the pattern, it attempts to read back one byte of data from the UART. The flash loader
returns the value of 0xCC to indicate successful detection of the baud rate. If this byte is not received
after at least twice the time required to transfer the two bytes, the host can resend another pattern
of 0x55, 0x55, and wait for the 0xCC byte again until the flash loader acknowledges that it has
received a synchronization pattern correctly. For example, the time to wait for data back from the
flash loader should be calculated as at least 2*(20(bits/sync)/baud rate (bits/sec)). For a baud rate
of 115200, this time is 2*(20/115200) or 0.35 ms.
A.2.2
SSI
The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) port also uses a fixed serial format for communications,
with the framing defined as Motorola format with SPH set to 1 and SPO set to 1. See “Frame
Formats” on page 402 in the SSI chapter for more information on formats for this transfer protocol.
Like the UART, this interface has hardware requirements that limit the maximum speed that the SSI
clock can run. This allows the SSI clock to be at most 1/12 the crystal frequency of the board running
548

Texas Instruments-Production Data
Stellaris® LM3S615 Microcontroller
the flash loader. Since the host device is the master, the SSI on the flash loader device does not
need to determine the clock as it is provided directly by the host.
A.3
Packet Handling
All communications, with the exception of the UART auto-baud, are done via defined packets that
are acknowledged (ACK) or not acknowledged (NAK) by the devices. The packets use the same
format for receiving and sending packets, including the method used to acknowledge successful or
unsuccessful reception of a packet.
A.3.1
Packet Format
All packets sent and received from the device use the following byte-packed format.
struct
{
unsigned char ucSize;
unsigned char ucCheckSum;
unsigned char Data[];
};
A.3.2
ucSize
The first byte received holds the total size of the transfer including
the size and checksum bytes.
ucChecksum
This holds a simple checksum of the bytes in the data buffer only.
The algorithm is Data[0]+Data[1]+…+ Data[ucSize-3].
Data
This is the raw data intended for the device, which is formatted in
some form of command interface. There should be ucSize–2
bytes of data provided in this buffer to or from the device.
Sending Packets
The actual bytes of the packet can be sent individually or all at once; the only limitation is that
commands that cause flash memory access should limit the download sizes to prevent losing bytes
during flash programming. This limitation is discussed further in the section that describes the serial
flash loader command, COMMAND_SEND_DATA (see “COMMAND_SEND_DATA
(0x24)” on page 551).
Once the packet has been formatted correctly by the host, it should be sent out over the UART or
SSI interface. Then the host should poll the UART or SSI interface for the first non-zero data returned
from the device. The first non-zero byte will either be an ACK (0xCC) or a NAK (0x33) byte from
the device indicating the packet was received successfully (ACK) or unsuccessfully (NAK). This
does not indicate that the actual contents of the command issued in the data portion of the packet
were valid, just that the packet was received correctly.
A.3.3
Receiving Packets
The flash loader sends a packet of data in the same format that it receives a packet. The flash loader
may transfer leading zero data before the first actual byte of data is sent out. The first non-zero byte
is the size of the packet followed by a checksum byte, and finally followed by the data itself. There
is no break in the data after the first non-zero byte is sent from the flash loader. Once the device
communicating with the flash loader receives all the bytes, it must either ACK or NAK the packet to
indicate that the transmission was successful. The appropriate response after sending a NAK to
the flash loader is to resend the command that failed and request the data again. If needed, the
host may send leading zeros before sending down the ACK/NAK signal to the flash loader, as the
January 09, 2011
549
Texas Instruments-Production Data
Serial Flash Loader
flash loader only accepts the first non-zero data as a valid response. This zero padding is needed
by the SSI interface in order to receive data to or from the flash loader.
A.4
Commands
The next section defines the list of commands that can be sent to the flash loader. The first byte of
the data should always be one of the defined commands, followed by data or parameters as
determined by the command that is sent.
A.4.1
COMMAND_PING (0X20)
This command simply accepts the command and sets the global status to success. The format of
the packet is as follows:
Byte[0] = 0x03;
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2]);
Byte[2] = COMMAND_PING;
The ping command has 3 bytes and the value for COMMAND_PING is 0x20 and the checksum of one
byte is that same byte, making Byte[1] also 0x20. Since the ping command has no real return status,
the receipt of an ACK can be interpreted as a successful ping to the flash loader.
A.4.2
COMMAND_GET_STATUS (0x23)
This command returns the status of the last command that was issued. Typically, this command
should be sent after every command to ensure that the previous command was successful or to
properly respond to a failure. The command requires one byte in the data of the packet and should
be followed by reading a packet with one byte of data that contains a status code. The last step is
to ACK or NAK the received data so the flash loader knows that the data has been read.
Byte[0] = 0x03
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_GET_STATUS
A.4.3
COMMAND_DOWNLOAD (0x21)
This command is sent to the flash loader to indicate where to store data and how many bytes will
be sent by the COMMAND_SEND_DATA commands that follow. The command consists of two 32-bit
values that are both transferred MSB first. The first 32-bit value is the address to start programming
data into, while the second is the 32-bit size of the data that will be sent. This command also triggers
an erase of the full area to be programmed so this command takes longer than other commands.
This results in a longer time to receive the ACK/NAK back from the board. This command should
be followed by a COMMAND_GET_STATUS to ensure that the Program Address and Program size
are valid for the device running the flash loader.
The format of the packet to send this command is a follows:
Byte[0]
Byte[1]
Byte[2]

COMMAND_SEND_DATA (0x24)
This command should only follow a COMMAND_DOWNLOAD command or another
COMMAND_SEND_DATA command if more data is needed. Consecutive send data commands
automatically increment address and continue programming from the previous location. The caller
should limit transfers of data to a maximum 8 bytes of packet data to allow the flash to program
successfully and not overflow input buffers of the serial interfaces. The command terminates
programming once the number of bytes indicated by the COMMAND_DOWNLOAD command has been
received. Each time this function is called it should be followed by a COMMAND_GET_STATUS to
ensure that the data was successfully programmed into the flash. If the flash loader sends a NAK
to this command, the flash loader does not increment the current address to allow retransmission
of the previous data.

COMMAND_RUN (0x22)
This command is used to tell the flash loader to execute from the address passed as the parameter
in this command. This command consists of a single 32-bit value that is interpreted as the address
to execute. The 32-bit value is transmitted MSB first and the flash loader responds with an ACK
signal back to the host device before actually executing the code at the given address. This allows
the host to know that the command was received successfully and the code is now running.

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

Byte[0] = 3
Byte[1] = checksum(Byte[2])
Byte[2] = COMMAND_RESET
The flash loader responds with an ACK signal back to the host device before actually executing the
software reset to the device running the flash loader. This allows the host to know that the command
was received successfully and the part will be reset.
