1.1 Introduction
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 microcontrollers are based on a 32/16 bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with
real-time emulation and embedded trace support, that combines the microcontroller with
embedded high speed flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A 128-bit wide
memory interface and a unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code execution at
the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the alternative 16-bit Thumb
mode reduces code by more than 30 % with minimal performance penalty.
Due to their tiny size and low power consumption, LPC2141/2/4/6/8 are ideal for
applications where miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and
point-of-sale. A blend of serial communications interfaces ranging from a USB 2.0 Full
Speed device, multiple UARTS, SPI, SSP to I2Cs and on-chip SRAM of 8 kB up to 40 kB,
make these devices very well suited for communication gateways and protocol converters,
soft modems, voice recognition and low end imaging, providing both large buffer size and
high processing power. Various 32-bit timers, single or dual 10-bit ADC(s), 10-bit DAC,
PWM channels and 45 fast GPIO lines with up to nine edge or level sensitive external
interrupt pins make these microcontrollers particularly suitable for industrial control and
medical systems.

Peripheral Bus (VPB, a compatible superset of ARM’s AMBA Advanced Peripheral Bus)
for connection to on-chip peripheral functions. The LPC2141/24/6/8 configures the
ARM7TDMI-S processor in little-endian byte order.
AHB peripherals are allocated a 2 megabyte range of addresses at the very top of the
4 gigabyte ARM memory space. Each AHB peripheral is allocated a 16 kB address space
within the AHB address space. LPC2141/2/4/6/8 peripheral functions (other than the
interrupt controller) are connected to the VPB bus. The AHB to VPB bridge interfaces the
VPB bus to the AHB bus. VPB peripherals are also allocated a 2 megabyte range of
addresses, beginning at the 3.5 gigabyte address point. Each VPB peripheral is allocated
a 16 kB address space within the VPB address space.
The connection of on-chip peripherals to device pins is controlled by a Pin Connect Block
(see chapter "Pin Connect Block" on page 75). This must be configured by software to fit
specific application requirements for the use of peripheral functions and pins.

1.6 ARM7TDMI-S processor
The ARM7TDMI-S is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor, which offers high
performance and very low power consumption. The ARM architecture is based on
Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, and the instruction set and related
decode mechanism are much simpler than those of microprogrammed Complex
Instruction Set Computers. This simplicity results in a high instruction throughput and
impressive real-time interrupt response from a small and cost-effective processor core.
Pipeline techniques are employed so that all parts of the processing and memory systems
can operate continuously. Typically, while one instruction is being executed, its successor
is being decoded, and a third instruction is being fetched from memory.
The ARM7TDMI-S processor also employs a unique architectural strategy known as
THUMB, which makes it ideally suited to high-volume applications with memory
restrictions, or applications where code density is an issue.
The key idea behind THUMB is that of a super-reduced instruction set. Essentially, the
ARM7TDMI-S processor has two instruction sets:

• The standard 32-bit ARM instruction set.
• A 16-bit THUMB instruction set.
The THUMB set’s 16-bit instruction length allows it to approach twice the density of
standard ARM code while retaining most of the ARM’s performance advantage over a
traditional 16-bit processor using 16-bit registers. This is possible because THUMB code
operates on the same 32-bit register set as ARM code.
THUMB code is able to provide up to 65% of the code size of ARM, and 160% of the
performance of an equivalent ARM processor connected to a 16-bit memory system.
The ARM7TDMI-S processor is described in detail in the ARM7TDMI-S Datasheet that
can be found on official ARM website.

Chapter 1: Introductory information

1.7 On-chip Flash memory system
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 incorporate a 32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 256 kB, and 512 kB Flash
memory system respectively. This memory may be used for both code and data storage.
Programming of the Flash memory may be accomplished in several ways: over the serial
built-in JTAG interface, using In System Programming (ISP) and UART0, or by means of In
Application Programming (IAP) capabilities. The application program, using the IAP
functions, may also erase and/or program the Flash while the application is running,
allowing a great degree of flexibility for data storage field firmware upgrades, etc. When
the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 on-chip bootloader is used, 32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 256 kB, and
500 kB of Flash memory is available for user code.
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 Flash memory provides minimum of 100,000 erase/write cycles and
20 years of data-retention.

1.8 On-chip Static RAM (SRAM)
On-chip Static RAM (SRAM) may be used for code and/or data storage. The on-chip
SRAM may be accessed as 8-bits, 16-bits, and 32-bits. The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 provide
8/16/32 kB of static RAM respectively.
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 SRAM is designed to be accessed as a byte-addressed memory.
Word and halfword accesses to the memory ignore the alignment of the address and
access the naturally-aligned value that is addressed (so a memory access ignores
address bits 0 and 1 for word accesses, and ignores bit 0 for halfword accesses).
Therefore valid reads and writes require data accessed as halfwords to originate from
addresses with address line 0 being 0 (addresses ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, A, C, and E in
hexadecimal notation) and data accessed as words to originate from addresses with
address lines 0 and 1 being 0 (addresses ending with 0, 4, 8, and C in hexadecimal
notation). This rule applies to both off and on-chip memory usage.
The SRAM controller incorporates a write-back buffer in order to prevent CPU stalls during
back-to-back writes. The write-back buffer always holds the last data sent by software to
the SRAM. This data is only written to the SRAM when another write is requested by
software (the data is only written to the SRAM when software does another write). If a chip
reset occurs, actual SRAM contents will not reflect the most recent write request (i.e. after
a "warm" chip reset, the SRAM does not reflect the last write operation). Any software that
checks SRAM contents after reset must take this into account. Two identical writes to a
location guarantee that the data will be present after a Reset. Alternatively, a dummy write
operation before entering idle or power-down mode will similarly guarantee that the last
data written will be present in SRAM after a subsequent Reset.

address decoding for each peripheral. All peripheral register addresses are word aligned
(to 32-bit boundaries) regardless of their size. This eliminates the need for byte lane
mapping hardware that would be required to allow byte (8-bit) or half-word (16-bit)
accesses to occur at smaller boundaries. An implication of this is that word and half-word
registers must be accessed all at once. For example, it is not possible to read or write the
upper byte of a word register separately.

2.2 LPC2141/2142/2144/2146/2148 memory re-mapping and boot block
2.2.1 Memory map concepts and operating modes
The basic concept on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 is that each memory area has a "natural"
location in the memory map. This is the address range for which code residing in that area
is written. The bulk of each memory space remains permanently fixed in the same
location, eliminating the need to have portions of the code designed to run in different
address ranges.
Because of the location of the interrupt vectors on the ARM7 processor (at addresses
0x0000 0000 through 0x0000 001C, as shown in Table 3 below), a small portion of the
Boot Block and SRAM spaces need to be re-mapped in order to allow alternative uses of
interrupts in the different operating modes described in Table 4. Re-mapping of the
interrupts is accomplished via the Memory Mapping Control feature (Section 3.7 “Memory
mapping control” on page 26).

2.2.2 Memory re-mapping
In order to allow for compatibility with future derivatives, the entire Boot Block is mapped
to the top of the on-chip memory space. In this manner, the use of larger or smaller flash
modules will not require changing the location of the Boot Block (which would require
changing the Boot Loader code itself) or changing the mapping of the Boot Block interrupt
vectors. Memory spaces other than the interrupt vectors remain in fixed locations.
Figure 5 shows the on-chip memory mapping in the modes defined above.
The portion of memory that is re-mapped to allow interrupt processing in different modes
includes the interrupt vector area (32 bytes) and an additional 32 bytes, for a total of
64 bytes. The re-mapped code locations overlay addresses 0x0000 0000 through
0x0000 003F. A typical user program in the Flash memory can place the entire FIQ
handler at address 0x0000 001C without any need to consider memory boundaries. The
vector contained in the SRAM, external memory, and Boot Block must contain branches to
the actual interrupt handlers, or to other instructions that accomplish the branch to the
interrupt handlers.
There are three reasons this configuration was chosen:
1. To give the FIQ handler in the Flash memory the advantage of not having to take a
memory boundary caused by the remapping into account.

2. Minimize the need to for the SRAM and Boot Block vectors to deal with arbitrary
boundaries in the middle of code space.
3. To provide space to store constants for jumping beyond the range of single word
branch instructions.
Re-mapped memory areas, including the Boot Block and interrupt vectors, continue to
appear in their original location in addition to the re-mapped address.
Details on re-mapping and examples can be found in Section 3.7 “Memory mapping
control” on page 26.

Chapter 2: Memory map

2.3 Prefetch abort and data abort exceptions
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 generates the appropriate bus cycle abort exception if an access is
attempted for an address that is in a reserved or unassigned address region. The regions
are:

• Areas of the memory map that are not implemented for a specific ARM derivative. For
the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, this is:
– Address space between On-Chip Non-Volatile Memory and On-Chip SRAM,
labelled "Reserved Address Space" in Figure 2. For 32 kB Flash device this is
memory address range from 0x0000 8000 to 0x3FFF FFFF, for 64 kB Flash device
this is memory address range from 0x0001 0000 to 0x3FFF FFFF, for 128 kB Flash
device this is memory address range from 0x0002 0000 to 0x3FFF FFFF, for
256 kB Flash device this is memory address range from 0x0004 0000 to
0x3FFF FFFF while for 512 kB Flash device this range is from 0x0008 0000 to
0x3FFF FFFF.
– Address space between On-Chip Static RAM and the Boot Block. Labelled
"Reserved Address Space" in Figure 2. For 8 kB SRAM device this is memory
address range from 0x4000 2000 to 0x7FFF CFFF, for 16 kB SRAM device this is
memory address range from 0x4000 4000 to 0x7FFF CFFF. For 32 kB SRAM
device this range is from 0x4000 8000 to 0x7FCF FFFF where the 8 kB USB DMA
RAM starts, and from 0x7FD0 2000 to 0x7FFF CFFF.
– Address space between 0x8000 0000 and 0xDFFF FFFF, labelled "Reserved
Adress Space".
– Reserved regions of the AHB and VPB spaces. See Figure 3.

• Unassigned AHB peripheral spaces. See Figure 4.
• Unassigned VPB peripheral spaces. See Table 2.
For these areas, both attempted data access and instruction fetch generate an exception.
In addition, a Prefetch Abort exception is generated for any instruction fetch that maps to
an AHB or VPB peripheral address.
Within the address space of an existing VPB peripheral, a data abort exception is not
generated in response to an access to an undefined address. Address decoding within
each peripheral is limited to that needed to distinguish defined registers within the
peripheral itself. For example, an access to address 0xE000 D000 (an undefined address
within the UART0 space) may result in an access to the register defined at address
0xE000 C000. Details of such address aliasing within a peripheral space are not defined
in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 documentation and are not a supported feature.
Note that the ARM core stores the Prefetch Abort flag along with the associated
instruction (which will be meaningless) in the pipeline and processes the abort only if an
attempt is made to execute the instruction fetched from the illegal address. This prevents
accidental aborts that could be caused by prefetches that occur when code is executed
very near a memory boundary.

3.4 Crystal oscillator
While an input signal of 50-50 duty cycle within a frequency range from 1 MHz to 50 MHz
can be used by the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 if supplied to its input XTAL1 pin, this
microcontroller’s onboard oscillator circuit supports external crystals in the range of 1 MHz
to 30 MHz only. If the on-chip PLL system or the boot-loader is used, the input clock
frequency is limited to an exclusive range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz.
The oscillator output frequency is called FOSC and the ARM processor clock frequency is
referred to as CCLK for purposes of rate equations, etc. elsewhere in this document. FOSC
and CCLK are the same value unless the PLL is running and connected. Refer to the
Section 3.8 “Phase Locked Loop (PLL)” on page 27 for details and frequency limitations.
The onboard oscillator in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 can operate in one of two modes: slave
mode and oscillation mode.
In slave mode the input clock signal should be coupled by means of a capacitor of 100 pF
(CC in Figure 6, drawing a), with an amplitude of at least 200 mVrms. The X2 pin in this
configuration can be left not connected. If slave mode is selected, the FOSC signal of 50-50
duty cycle can range from 1 MHz to 50 MHz.
External components and models used in oscillation mode are shown in Figure 6,
drawings b and c, and in Table 7. Since the feedback resistance is integrated on chip, only
a crystal and the capacitances CX1 and CX2 need to be connected externally in case of
fundamental mode oscillation (the fundamental frequency is represented by L, CL and
RS). Capacitance CP in Figure 6, drawing c, represents the parallel package capacitance
and should not be larger than 7 pF. Parameters FC, CL, RS and CP are supplied by the
crystal manufacturer.
Choosing an oscillation mode as an on-board oscillator mode of operation limits FOSC
clock selection to 1 MHz to 30 MHz.

3.5 External interrupt inputs
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 includes four External Interrupt Inputs as selectable pin functions.
The External Interrupt Inputs can optionally be used to wake up the processor from
Power-down mode.

3.5.1 Register description
The external interrupt function has four registers associated with it. The EXTINT register
contains the interrupt flags, and the EXTWAKEUP register contains bits that enable
individual external interrupts to wake up the microcontroller from Power-down mode. The
EXTMODE and EXTPOLAR registers specify the level and edge sensitivity parameters.

Reset value reflects the data stored in used bits only. It does not include reserved bits content.

3.5.2 External Interrupt Flag register (EXTINT - 0xE01F C140)
When a pin is selected for its external interrupt function, the level or edge on that pin
(selected by its bits in the EXTPOLAR and EXTMODE registers) will set its interrupt flag in
this register. This asserts the corresponding interrupt request to the VIC, which will cause
an interrupt if interrupts from the pin are enabled.
Writing ones to bits EINT0 through EINT3 in EXTINT register clears the corresponding
bits. In level-sensitive mode this action is efficacious only when the pin is in its inactive
state.
Once a bit from EINT0 to EINT3 is set and an appropriate code starts to execute (handling
wakeup and/or external interrupt), this bit in EXTINT register must be cleared. Otherwise
the event that was just triggered by activity on the EINT pin will not be recognized in the
future.
Important: whenever a change of external interrupt operating mode (i.e. active
level/edge) is performed (including the initialization of an external interrupt), the
corresponding bit in the EXTINT register must be cleared! For details see Section
3.5.4 “External Interrupt Mode register (EXTMODE - 0xE01F C148)” and Section 3.5.5
“External Interrupt Polarity register (EXTPOLAR - 0xE01F C14C)”.
For example, if a system wakes up from power-down using a low level on external
interrupt 0 pin, its post-wakeup code must reset the EINT0 bit in order to allow future entry
into the power-down mode. If the EINT0 bit is left set to 1, subsequent attempt(s) to invoke
power-down mode will fail. The same goes for external interrupt handling.
More details on power-down mode will be discussed in the following chapters.

In level-sensitive mode, this bit is set if the EINT0 function is selected for its pin, and the pin is in 0

and the selected edge occurs on the pin.
Up to two pins can be selected to perform the EINT0 function (see P0.1 and P0.16 description in
"Pin Configuration" chapter page 66.)
This bit is cleared by writing a one to it, except in level sensitive mode when the pin is in its active

corresponding pin, this bit can not be cleared; this bit can be cleared only when the signal on the
pin becomes high).

EINT1

In level-sensitive mode, this bit is set if the EINT1 function is selected for its pin, and the pin is in 0
its active state. In edge-sensitive mode, this bit is set if the EINT1 function is selected for its pin,
and the selected edge occurs on the pin.
Up to two pins can be selected to perform the EINT1 function (see P0.3 and P0.14 description in
"Pin Configuration" chapter on page 66.)
This bit is cleared by writing a one to it, except in level sensitive mode when the pin is in its active

and the selected edge occurs on the pin.
Up to two pins can be selected to perform the EINT2 function (see P0.7 and P0.15 description in
"Pin Configuration" chapter on page 66.)
This bit is cleared by writing a one to it, except in level sensitive mode when the pin is in its active

Up to three pins can be selected to perform the EINT3 function (see P0.9, P0.20 and P0.30
description in "Pin Configuration" chapter on page 66.)
This bit is cleared by writing a one to it, except in level sensitive mode when the pin is in its active

pin becomes high).

Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read from a reserved NA

3.5.3 Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE - 0xE01F C144)
Enable bits in the INTWAKE register allow the external interrupts and other sources to
wake up the processor if it is in Power-down mode. The related EINTn function must be
mapped to the pin in order for the wakeup process to take place. It is not necessary for the
interrupt to be enabled in the Vectored Interrupt Controller for a wakeup to take place. This
arrangement allows additional capabilities, such as having an external interrupt input
wake up the processor from Power-down mode without causing an interrupt (simply
resuming operation), or allowing an interrupt to be enabled during Power-down without
waking the processor up if it is asserted (eliminating the need to disable the interrupt if the
wakeup feature is not desirable in the application).

3.5.6 Multiple external interrupt pins
Software can select multiple pins for each of EINT3:0 in the Pin Select registers, which are
described in chapter Pin Connect Block on page 75. The external interrupt logic for each
of EINT3:0 receives the state of all of its associated pins from the pins’ receivers, along
with signals that indicate whether each pin is selected for the EINT function. The external
interrupt logic handles the case when more than one pin is so selected, differently
according to the state of its Mode and Polarity bits:

• In Low-Active Level Sensitive mode, the states of all pins selected for the same EINTx
functionality are digitally combined using a positive logic AND gate.

• In High-Active Level Sensitive mode, the states of all pins selected for the same
EINTx functionality are digitally combined using a positive logic OR gate.

• In Edge Sensitive mode, regardless of polarity, the pin with the lowest GPIO port
number is used. (Selecting multiple pins for an EINTx in edge-sensitive mode could
be considered a programming error.)
The signal derived by this logic processing multiple external interrupt pins is the EINTi
signal in the following logic schematic Figure 8.
For example, if the EINT3 function is selected in the PINSEL0 and PINSEL1 registers for
pins P0.9, P0.20 and P0.30, and EINT3 is configured to be low level sensitive, the inputs
from all three pins will be logically ANDed. When more than one EINT pin is logically
ORed, the interrupt service routine can read the states of the pins from the GPIO port
using the IO0PIN and IO1PIN registers, to determine which pin(s) caused the interrupt.

3.7 Memory mapping control
The Memory Mapping Control alters the mapping of the interrupt vectors that appear
beginning at address 0x0000 0000. This allows code running in different memory spaces
to have control of the interrupts.

3.7.1 Memory Mapping control register (MEMMAP - 0xE01F C040)
Whenever an exception handling is necessary, the microcontroller will fetch an instruction
residing on the exception corresponding address as described in Table 3 “ARM exception
vector locations” on page 12. The MEMMAP register determines the source of data that
will fill this table.

3.7.2 Memory mapping control usage notes
The Memory Mapping Control simply selects one out of three available sources of data
(sets of 64 bytes each) necessary for handling ARM exceptions (interrupts).
For example, whenever a Software Interrupt request is generated, the ARM core will
always fetch 32-bit data "residing" on 0x0000 0008 see Table 3 “ARM exception vector
locations” on page 12. This means that when MEMMAP[1:0]=10 (User RAM Mode), a
read/fetch from 0x0000 0008 will provide data stored in 0x4000 0008. In case of
MEMMAP[1:0]=00 (Boot Loader Mode), a read/fetch from 0x0000 0008 will provide data
available also at 0x7FFF E008 (Boot Block remapped from on-chip Bootloader).

3.8 Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
There are two PLL modules in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 microcontroller. The PLL0 is used to
generate the CCLK clock (system clock) while the PLL1 has to supply the clock for the
USB at the fixed rate of 48 MHz. Structurally these two PLLs are identical with exception
of the PLL interrupt capabilities reserved only for the PLL0.
The PLL0 and PLL1 accept an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz
only. The input frequency is multiplied up the range of 10 MHz to 60 MHz for the CCLK
and 48 MHz for the USB clock using a Current Controlled Oscillators (CCO). The
multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32 (in practice, the multiplier value cannot be
higher than 6 on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 due to the upper frequency limit of the CPU). The
CCO operates in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz, so there is an additional divider in the
loop to keep the CCO within its frequency range while the PLL is providing the desired
output frequency. The output divider may be set to divide by 2, 4, 8, or 16 to produce the
output clock. Since the minimum output divider value is 2, it is insured that the PLL output
has a 50% duty cycle. A block diagram of the PLL is shown in Figure 9.
PLL activation is controlled via the PLLCON register. The PLL multiplier and divider values
are controlled by the PLLCFG register. These two registers are protected in order to
prevent accidental alteration of PLL parameters or deactivation of the PLL. Since all chip
operations, including the Watchdog Timer, are dependent on the PLL0 when it is providing
the chip clock, accidental changes to the PLL setup could result in unexpected behavior of

the microcontroller. The same concern is present with the PLL1 and the USB. The
protection is accomplished by a feed sequence similar to that of the Watchdog Timer.
Details are provided in the description of the PLLFEED register.
Both PLLs are turned off and bypassed following a chip Reset and when by entering
Power-down mode. The PLL is enabled by software only. The program must configure and
activate the PLL, wait for the PLL to Lock, then connect to the PLL as a clock source.

The PLL must be set up, enabled, and Lock established before it may be used as a clock

circuitry synchronizes the operation in order to ensure that glitches are not generated.
Hardware does not insure that the PLL is locked before it is connected or automatically
disconnect the PLL if lock is lost during operation. In the event of loss of PLL lock, it is
likely that the oscillator clock has become unstable and disconnecting the PLL will not
remedy the situation.

Section 3.8.7 “PLL Feed register (PLL0FEED - 0xE01F C08C, PLL1FEED 0xE01F C0AC)” on page 32). Calculations for the PLL frequency, and multiplier and

3.8.5 PLL Interrupt
The PLOCK bit in the PLLSTAT register is connected to the interrupt controller. This allows
for software to turn on the PLL and continue with other functions without having to wait for
the PLL to achieve lock. When the interrupt occurs (PLOCK = 1), the PLL may be
connected, and the interrupt disabled. For details on how to enable and disable the PLL
interrupt, see Section 5.4.4 “Interrupt Enable register (VICIntEnable - 0xFFFF F010)” on
page 54 and Section 5.4.5 “Interrupt Enable Clear register (VICIntEnClear 0xFFFF F014)” on page 55.
PLL interrupt is available only in PLL0, i.e. the PLL that generates the CCLK. USB
dedicated PLL1 does not have this capability.

the PLLCON and PLLCFG registers to take effect. The feed sequence is:
1. Write the value 0xAA to PLLFEED.
2. Write the value 0x55 to PLLFEED.
The two writes must be in the correct sequence, and must be consecutive VPB bus
cycles. The latter requirement implies that interrupts must be disabled for the duration of
the PLL feed operation. If either of the feed values is incorrect, or one of the previously
mentioned conditions is not met, any changes to the PLLCON or PLLCFG register will not
become effective.

3.8.8 PLL and Power-down mode
Power-down mode automatically turns off and disconnects activated PLL(s). Wakeup from
Power-down mode does not automatically restore the PLL settings, this must be done in
software. Typically, a routine to activate the PLL, wait for lock, and then connect the PLL
can be called at the beginning of any interrupt service routine that might be called due to
the wakeup. It is important not to attempt to restart the PLL by simply feeding it when
execution resumes after a wakeup from Power-down mode. This would enable and
connect the PLL at the same time, before PLL lock is established.
If activity on the USB data lines is not selected to wake up the microcontroller from
Power-down mode (see Section 3.5.3 “Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE 0xE01F C144)” on page 22), both the system and the USB PLL will be automatically be
turned off and disconnected when Power-down mode is invoked, as described above.
However, in case USBWAKE = 1 and USB_need_clock = 1 it is not possible to go into
Power-down mode and any attempt to set the PD bit will fail, leaving the PLLs in the
current state.

Table 21:

Elements determining PLL’s frequency

Description

FOSC

the frequency from the crystal oscillator/external oscillator

FCCO

the frequency of the PLL current controlled oscillator

CCLK

the PLL output frequency (also the processor clock frequency)

M

PLL Multiplier value from the MSEL bits in the PLLCFG register

P

PLL Divider value from the PSEL bits in the PLLCFG register

The PLL output frequency (when the PLL is both active and connected) is given by:
CCLK = M × FOSC or CCLK = FCCO / (2 × P)

The CCO frequency can be computed as:
FCCO = CCLK × 2 × P or FCCO = FOSC × M × 2 × P

The PLL inputs and settings must meet the following:

• FOSC is in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz.
• CCLK is in the range of 10 MHz to Fmax (the maximum allowed frequency for the
microcontroller - determined by the system microcontroller is embedded in).

• FCCO is in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz.
3.8.10 Procedure for determining PLL settings
If a particular application uses the PLL0, its configuration may be determined as follows:
1. Choose the desired processor operating frequency (CCLK). This may be based on
processor throughput requirements, need to support a specific set of UART baud
rates, etc. Bear in mind that peripheral devices may be running from a lower clock
than the processor (see Section 3.11 “VPB divider” on page 40).
2. Choose an oscillator frequency (FOSC). CCLK must be the whole (non-fractional)
multiple of FOSC.
3. Calculate the value of M to configure the MSEL bits. M = CCLK / FOSC. M must be in
the range of 1 to 32. The value written to the MSEL bits in PLLCFG is M − 1 (see
Table 23.
4. Find a value for P to configure the PSEL bits, such that FCCO is within its defined
frequency limits. FCCO is calculated using the equation given above. P must have one
of the values 1, 2, 4, or 8. The value written to the PSEL bits in PLLCFG is 00 for
P = 1; 01 for P = 2; 10 for P = 4; 11 for P = 8 (see Table 22).
Important: if a particular application is using the USB peripheral, the PLL1 must be
configured since this is the only available source of the 48 MHz clock required by
the USB. This limits the selection of FOSC to either 12 MHz, 16 MHz or 24 MHz.

3.8.11 PLL0 and PLL1 configuring examples
Example 1: an application not using the USB - configuring the PLL0
System design asks for FOSC= 10 MHz and requires CCLK = 60 MHz.
Based on these specifications, M = CCLK / Fosc = 60 MHz / 10 MHz = 6. Consequently,
M - 1 = 5 will be written as PLLCFG[4:0].
Value for P can be derived from P = FCCO / (CCLK x 2), using condition that FCCO must be
in range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz. Assuming the lowest allowed frequency for
FCCO = 156 MHz, P = 156 MHz / (2 x 60 MHz) = 1.3. The highest FCCO frequency criteria
produces P = 2.67. The only solution for P that satisfies both of these requirements and is
listed in Table 22 is P = 2. Therefore, PLLCFG[6:5] = 1 will be used.
Example 2: an application using the USB - configuring the PLL1
System design asks for FOSC= 12 MHz and requires the USB clock of 48 MHz.
Based on these specifications, M = 48 MHz / Fosc = 48 MHz / 12 MHz = 4. Consequently,
M - 1 = 3 will be written as PLLCFG[4:0].
Value for P can be derived from P = FCCO / (48 MHz x 2), using condition that FCCO must
be in range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz. Assuming the lowest allowed frequency for
FCCO = 156 MHz, P = 156 MHz / (2 x 48 MHz) = 1.625. The highest FCCO frequency
criteria produces P = 3.33. Solution for P that satisfy both of these requirements and are
listed in Table 22 are P = 2 and P = 3. Therefore, either of these two values can be used to
program PLLCFG[6:5] in the PLL1.
Example 2 has illustrated the way PLL1 should be configured. Since PLL0 and PLL1 are
independent, the PLL0 can be configured using the approach described in Example 1.

3.9 Power control
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 supports two reduced power modes: Idle mode and Power-down
mode. In Idle mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a Reset or interrupt
occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during Idle mode and may generate
interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution. Idle mode eliminates power used
by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal buses.
In Power-down mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives no internal clocks.
The processor state and registers, peripheral registers, and internal SRAM values are
preserved throughout Power-down mode and the logic levels of chip pins remain static.
The Power-down mode can be terminated and normal operation resumed by either a
Reset or certain specific interrupts that are able to function without clocks. Since all
dynamic operation of the chip is suspended, Power-down mode reduces chip power
consumption to nearly zero.
Entry to Power-down and Idle modes must be coordinated with program execution.
Wakeup from Power-down or Idle modes via an interrupt resumes program execution in
such a way that no instructions are lost, incomplete, or repeated. Wake up from
Power-down mode is discussed further in Section 3.12 “Wakeup timer” on page 41.
A Power Control for Peripherals feature allows individual peripherals to be turned off if
they are not needed in the application, resulting in additional power savings.

When PD is 1 and this bit is 0, Brown Out Detection (BOD) remains

operative during Power-down mode, such that its Reset can release the
microcontroller from Power-down mode[1]. When PD and this bit are
both 1, the BOD circuit is disabled during Power-down mode to
conserve power. When PD is 0, the state of this bit has no effect.

Since execution is delayed until after the Wakeup Timer has allowed the main oscillator to resume stable
operation, there is no guarantee that execution will resume before VDD has fallen below the lower BOD
threshold, which prevents execution. If execution does resume, there is no guarantee of how long the
microcontroller will continue execution before the lower BOD threshold terminates execution. These issues
depend on the slope of the decline of VDD. High decoupling capacitance (between VDD and ground) in the
vicinity of the microcontroller will improve the likelihood that software will be able to do what needs to be
done when power is being lost.

3.9.3 Power Control for Peripherals register (PCONP - 0xE01F COC4)
The PCONP register allows turning off selected peripheral functions for the purpose of
saving power. This is accomplished by gating off the clock source to the specified
peripheral blocks. A few peripheral functions cannot be turned off (i.e. the Watchdog timer,
GPIO, the Pin Connect block, and the System Control block). Some peripherals,
particularly those that include analog functions, may consume power that is not clock
dependent. These peripherals may contain a separate disable control that turns off

The bit numbers correspond to the related peripheral number as shown in the VPB
peripheral map Table 2 “VPB peripheries and base addresses” in the "LPC2141/2/4/6/8

If a peripheral control bit is 1, that peripheral is enabled. If a peripheral bit is 0, that
peripheral is disabled to conserve power. For example if bit 19 is 1, the I2C1 interface is
enabled. If bit 19 is 0, the I2C1 interface is disabled.
Important: valid read from a peripheral register and valid write to a peripheral
register is possible only if that peripheral is enabled in the PCONP register!

3.9.4 Power control usage notes
After every reset, the PCONP register contains the value that enables all interfaces and
peripherals controlled by the PCONP to be enabled. Therefore, apart from proper
configuring via peripheral dedicated registers, the user’s application has no need to
access the PCONP in order to start using any of the on-board peripherals.
Power saving oriented systems should have 1s in the PCONP register only in positions
that match peripherals really used in the application. All other bits, declared to be
"Reserved" or dedicated to the peripherals not used in the current application, must be
cleared to 0.

3.10 Reset
Reset has two sources on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8: the RESET pin and Watchdog Reset.
The RESET pin is a Schmitt trigger input pin with an additional glitch filter. Assertion of
chip Reset by any source starts the Wakeup Timer (see description in Section 3.12
“Wakeup timer” in this chapter), causing reset to remain asserted until the external Reset
is de-asserted, the oscillator is running, a fixed number of clocks have passed, and the
on-chip circuitry has completed its initialization. The relationship between Reset, the
oscillator, and the Wakeup Timer are shown in Figure 10.
The Reset glitch filter allows the processor to ignore external reset pulses that are very
short, and also determines the minimum duration of RESET that must be asserted in
order to guarantee a chip reset. Once asserted, RESET pin can be deasserted only when
crystal oscillator is fully running and an adequate signal is present on the X1 pin of the
microcontroller. Assuming that an external crystal is used in the crystal oscillator
subsystem, after power on, the RESET pin should be asserted for 10 ms. For all
subsequent resets when crystal oscillator is already running and stable signal is on the X1
pin, the RESET pin needs to be asserted for 300 ns only.
When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which
is initially the Reset vector mapped from the Boot Block. At that point, all of the processor
and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.
External and internal Resets have some small differences. An external Reset causes the
value of certain pins to be latched to configure the part. External circuitry cannot
determine when an internal Reset occurs in order to allow setting up those special pins,
so those latches are not reloaded during an internal Reset. Pins that are examined during
an external Reset for various purposes are: P1.20/TRACESYNC, P1.26/RTCK (see
chapters "Pin Configuration" on page 66 and "Pin Connect Block" on page 75). Pin P0.14
(see "Flash Memory System and Programming" chapter on page 291) is examined by
on-chip bootloader when this code is executed after every Reset.
It is possible for a chip Reset to occur during a Flash programming or erase operation.
The Flash memory will interrupt the ongoing operation and hold off the completion of
Reset to the CPU until internal Flash high voltages have settled.

3.11 VPB divider
The VPB Divider determines the relationship between the processor clock (CCLK) and the
clock used by peripheral devices (PCLK). The VPB Divider serves two purposes.
The first is to provides peripherals with desired PCLK via VPB bus so that they can
operate at the speed chosen for the ARM processor. In order to achieve this, the VPB bus
may be slowed down to one half or one fourth of the processor clock rate. Because the
VPB bus must work properly at power up (and its timing cannot be altered if it does not
work since the VPB divider control registers reside on the VPB bus), the default condition
at reset is for the VPB bus to run at one quarter speed.
The second purpose of the VPB Divider is to allow power savings when an application
does not require any peripherals to run at the full processor rate.
The connection of the VPB Divider relative to the oscillator and the processor clock is
shown in Figure 11. Because the VPB Divider is connected to the PLL output, the PLL
remains active (if it was running) during Idle mode.

3.12 Wakeup timer
The purpose of the wakeup timer is to ensure that the oscillator and other analog
functions required for chip operation are fully functional before the processor is allowed to
execute instructions. This is important at power on, all types of Reset, and whenever any
of the aforementioned functions are turned off for any reason. Since the oscillator and
other functions are turned off during Power-down mode, any wakeup of the processor
from Power-down mode makes use of the Wakeup Timer.
The Wakeup Timer monitors the crystal oscillator as the means of checking whether it is
safe to begin code execution. When power is applied to the chip, or some event caused
the chip to exit Power-down mode, some time is required for the oscillator to produce a
signal of sufficient amplitude to drive the clock logic. The amount of time depends on
many factors, including the rate of VDD ramp (in the case of power on), the type of crystal
and its electrical characteristics (if a quartz crystal is used), as well as any other external
circuitry (e.g. capacitors), and the characteristics of the oscillator itself under the existing
ambient conditions.
Once a clock is detected, the Wakeup Timer counts 4096 clocks, then enables the on-chip
circuitry to initialize. When the onboard modules initialization is complete, the processor is
released to execute instructions if the external Reset has been deasserted. In the case
where an external clock source is used in the system (as opposed to a crystal connected
to the oscillator pins), the possibility that there could be little or no delay for oscillator
start-up must be considered. The Wakeup Timer design then ensures that any other
required chip functions will be operational prior to the beginning of program execution.

Chapter 3: System Control Block

Any of the various Resets can bring the microcontroller out of power-down mode, as can
the external interrupts EINT3:0, plus the RTC interrupt if the RTC is operating from its own
oscillator on the RTCX1-2 pins. When one of these interrupts is enabled for wakeup and
its selected event occurs, an oscillator wakeup cycle is started. The actual interrupt (if any)
occurs after the wakeup timer expires, and is handled by the Vectored Interrupt Controller.
However, the pin multiplexing on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 (see chapters "Pin Configuration"
on page 66 and "Pin Connect Block" on page 75) was designed to allow other peripherals
to, in effect, bring the device out of Power-down mode. The following pin-function pairings
allow interrupts from events relating to UART0 or 1, SPI 0 or 1, or the I2C: RxD0 / EINT0,
SDA / EINT1, SSEL0 / EINT2, RxD1 / EINT3, DCD1 / EINT1, RI1 / EINT2, SSEL1 /
EINT3.
To put the device in Power-down mode and allow activity on one or more of these buses or
lines to power it back up, software should reprogram the pin function to External Interrupt,
select the appropriate mode and polarity for the Interrupt, and then select Power-down
mode. Upon wakeup software should restore the pin multiplexing to the peripheral
function.
All of the bus- or line-activity indications in the list above happen to be low-active. If
software wants the device to come out of power -down mode in response to activity on
more than one pin that share the same EINTi channel, it should program low-level
sensitivity for that channel, because only in level mode will the channel logically OR the
signals to wake the device.
The only flaw in this scheme is that the time to restart the oscillator prevents the
LPC2141/2/4/6/8 from capturing the bus or line activity that wakes it up. Idle mode is more
appropriate than power-down mode for devices that must capture and respond to external
activity in a timely manner.
To summarize: on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, the Wakeup Timer enforces a minimum reset
duration based on the crystal oscillator, and is activated whenever there is a wakeup from
Power-down mode or any type of Reset.

3.13 Brown-out detection
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 includes 2-stage monitoring of the voltage on the VDD pins. If this
voltage falls below 2.9 V, the Brown-Out Detector (BOD) asserts an interrupt signal to the
Vectored Interrupt Controller. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt
Enable register (see Section 5.4.4 “Interrupt Enable register (VICIntEnable 0xFFFF F010)” on page 54); if not, software can monitor the signal by reading the Raw
Interrupt Status register (see Section 5.4.3 “Raw Interrupt status register (VICRawIntr 0xFFFF F008)” on page 54).
The second stage of low-voltage detection asserts Reset to inactivate the
LPC2141/2/4/6/8 when the voltage on the VDD pins falls below 2.6 V. This Reset prevents
alteration of the Flash as operation of the various elements of the chip would otherwise
become unreliable due to low voltage. The BOD circuit maintains this reset down below
1 V, at which point the Power-On Reset circuitry maintains the overall Reset.
Both the 2.9 V and 2.6 V thresholds include some hysteresis. In normal operation, this
hysteresis allows the 2.9 V detection to reliably interrupt, or a regularly-executed event
loop to sense the condition.

But when Brown-Out Detection is enabled to bring the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 out of
Power-Down mode (which is itself not a guaranteed operation -- see Section 3.9.2 “Power
Control register (PCON - 0xE01F COCO)”), the supply voltage may recover from a
transient before the Wakeup Timer has completed its delay. In this case, the net result of
the transient BOD is that the part wakes up and continues operation after the instructions
that set Power-Down Mode, without any interrupt occurring and with the BOD bit in the
RISR being 0. Since all other wakeup conditions have latching flags (see Section 3.5.2
“External Interrupt Flag register (EXTINT - 0xE01F C140)” and Section 19.4.3 “Interrupt
Location Register (ILR - 0xE002 4000)” on page 277), a wakeup of this type, without any
apparent cause, can be assumed to be a Brown-Out that has gone away.

3.14 Code security vs. debugging
Applications in development typically need the debugging and tracing facilities in the
LPC2141/2/4/6/8. Later in the life cycle of an application, it may be more important to
protect the application code from observation by hostile or competitive eyes. The following
feature of the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 allows an application to control whether it can be
debugged or protected from observation.
Details on the way Code Read Protection works can be found in the "Flash Memory
System and Programming" chapter on page 291.

Chapter 4: Memory Acceleration Module (MAM)
Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005

User manual

4.1 Introduction
The MAM block in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 maximizes the performance of the ARM
processor when it is running code in Flash memory, but does so using a single Flash
bank.

4.2 Operation
Simply put, the Memory Accelerator Module (MAM) attempts to have the next ARM
instruction that will be needed in its latches in time to prevent CPU fetch stalls. The
LPC2141/2/4/6/8 uses one bank of Flash memory, compared to the two banks used on
predecessor devices. It includes three 128-bit buffers called the Prefetch Buffer, the
Branch Trail Buffer and the Data Buffer. When an Instruction Fetch is not satisfied by
either the Prefetch or Branch Trail buffer, nor has a prefetch been initiated for that line, the
ARM is stalled while a fetch is initiated for the 128-bit line. If a prefetch has been initiated
but not yet completed, the ARM is stalled for a shorter time. Unless aborted by a data
access, a prefetch is initiated as soon as the Flash has completed the previous access.
The prefetched line is latched by the Flash module, but the MAM does not capture the line
in its prefetch buffer until the ARM core presents the address from which the prefetch has
been made. If the core presents a different address from the one from which the prefetch
has been made, the prefetched line is discarded.
The Prefetch and Branch Trail Buffers each include four 32-bit ARM instructions or eight
16-bit Thumb instructions. During sequential code execution, typically the prefetch buffer
contains the current instruction and the entire Flash line that contains it.
The MAM uses the LPROT[0] line to differentiate between instruction and data accesses.
Code and data accesses use separate 128-bit buffers. 3 of every 4 sequential 32-bit code
or data accesses "hit" in the buffer without requiring a Flash access (7 of 8 sequential
16-bit accesses, 15 of every 16 sequential byte accesses). The fourth (eighth, 16th)
sequential data access must access Flash, aborting any prefetch in progress. When a
Flash data access is concluded, any prefetch that had been in progress is re-initiated.
Timing of Flash read operations is programmable and is described later in this section.
In this manner, there is no code fetch penalty for sequential instruction execution when the
CPU clock period is greater than or equal to one fourth of the Flash access time. The
average amount of time spent doing program branches is relatively small (less than 25%)
and may be minimized in ARM (rather than Thumb) code through the use of the
conditional execution feature present in all ARM instructions. This conditional execution
may often be used to avoid small forward branches that would otherwise be necessary.
Branches and other program flow changes cause a break in the sequential flow of
instruction fetches described above. The Branch Trail Buffer captures the line to which
such a non-sequential break occurs. If the same branch is taken again, the next
instruction is taken from the Branch Trail Buffer. When a branch outside the contents of

the Prefetch and Branch Trail Buffer is taken, a stall of several clocks is needed to load the
Branch Trail Buffer. Subsequently, there will typically be no further instructionfetch delays
until a new and different branch occurs.

4.3 MAM blocks
The Memory Accelerator Module is divided into several functional blocks:

•
•
•
•
•
•

A Flash Address Latch and an incrementor function to form prefetch addresses
A 128-bit Prefetch Buffer and an associated Address latch and comparator
A 128-bit Branch Trail Buffer and an associated Address latch and comparator
A 128-bit Data Buffer and an associated Address latch and comparator
Control logic
Wait logic

Figure 12 shows a simplified block diagram of the Memory Accelerator Module data paths.
In the following descriptions, the term “fetch” applies to an explicit Flash read request from
the ARM. “Pre-fetch” is used to denote a Flash read of instructions beyond the current
processor fetch address.

4.3.1 Flash memory bank
There is one bank of Flash memory with the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 MAM.
Flash programming operations are not controlled by the MAM, but are handled as a
separate function. A “boot block” sector contains Flash programming algorithms that may
be called as part of the application program, and a loader that may be run to allow serial
programming of the Flash memory.

Chapter 4: MAM Module

4.3.2 Instruction latches and data latches
Code and Data accesses are treated separately by the Memory Accelerator Module.
There is a 128-bit Latch, a 15-bit Address
Latch, and a 15-bit comparator associated with each buffer (prefetch, branch trail, and
data). Each 128-bit latch holds 4 words (4 ARM instructions, or 8 Thumb instructions).
Also associated with each buffer are 32 4:1 Multiplexers that select the requested word
from the 128-bit line.
Each Data access that is not in the Data latch causes a Flash fetch of 4 words of data,
which are captured in the Data latch. This speeds up sequential Data operations, but has
little or no effect on random accesses.

4.3.3 Flash programming Issues
Since the Flash memory does not allow accesses during programming and erase
operations, it is necessary for the MAM to force the CPU to wait if a memory access to a
Flash address is requested while the Flash module is busy. (This is accomplished by
asserting the ARM7TDMI-S local bus signal CLKEN.) Under some conditions, this delay
could result in a Watchdog time-out. The user will need to be aware of this possibility and
take steps to insure that an unwanted Watchdog reset does not cause a system failure
while programming or erasing the Flash memory.
In order to preclude the possibility of stale data being read from the Flash memory, the
LPC2141/2/4/6/8 MAM holding latches are automatically invalidated at the beginning of
any Flash programming or erase operation. Any subsequent read from a Flash address
will cause a new fetch to be initiated after the Flash operation has completed.

4.4 MAM operating modes
Three modes of operation are defined for the MAM, trading off performance for ease of
predictability:
Mode 0: MAM off. All memory requests result in a Flash read operation (see note 2
below). There are no instruction prefetches.
Mode 1: MAM partially enabled. Sequential instruction accesses are fulfilled from the
holding latches if the data is present. Instruction prefetch is enabled. Non-sequential
instruction accesses initiate Flash read operations (see note 2 below). This means that
all branches cause memory fetches. All data operations cause a Flash read because
buffered data access timing is hard to predict and is very situation dependent.
Mode 2: MAM fully enabled. Any memory request (code or data) for a value that is
contained in one of the corresponding holding latches is fulfilled from the latch.
Instruction prefetch is enabled. Flash read operations are initiated for instruction
prefetch and code or data values not available in the corresponding holding latches.

The MAM actually uses latched data if it is available, but mimics the timing of a Flash read operation. This
saves power while resulting in the same execution timing. The MAM can truly be turned off by setting the
fetch timing value in MAMTIM to one clock.

4.5 MAM configuration
After reset the MAM defaults to the disabled state. Software can turn memory access
acceleration on or off at any time. This allows most of an application to be run at the
highest possible performance, while certain functions can be run at a somewhat slower
but more predictable rate if more precise timing is required.

4.6 Register description
All registers, regardless of size, are on word address boundaries. Details of the registers
appear in the description of each function.

4.8 MAM Timing register (MAMTIM - 0xE01F C004)
The MAM Timing register determines how many CCLK cycles are used to access the

frequency. Flash access times from 1 clock to 7 clocks are possible. Single clock Flash
accesses would essentially remove the MAM from timing calculations. In this case the
MAM mode may be selected to optimize power usage.

4.9 MAM usage notes
When changing MAM timing, the MAM must first be turned off by writing a zero to
MAMCR. A new value may then be written to MAMTIM. Finally, the MAM may be turned
on again by writing a value (1 or 2) corresponding to the desired operating mode to
MAMCR.
For system clock slower than 20 MHz, MAMTIM can be 001. For system clock between
20 MHz and 40 MHz, Flash access time is suggested to be 2 CCLKs, while in systems
with system clock faster than 40 MHz, 3 CCLKs are proposed.

ARM PrimeCell™ Vectored Interrupt Controller
32 interrupt request inputs
16 vectored IRQ interrupts
16 priority levels dynamically assigned to interrupt requests
Software interrupt generation

5.2 Description
The Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC) takes 32 interrupt request inputs and
programmably assigns them into 3 categories, FIQ, vectored IRQ, and non-vectored IRQ.
The programmable assignment scheme means that priorities of interrupts from the
various peripherals can be dynamically assigned and adjusted.
Fast Interrupt reQuest (FIQ) requests have the highest priority. If more than one request is
assigned to FIQ, the VIC ORs the requests to produce the FIQ signal to the ARM
processor. The fastest possible FIQ latency is achieved when only one request is
classified as FIQ, because then the FIQ service routine can simply start dealing with that
device. But if more than one request is assigned to the FIQ class, the FIQ service routine
can read a word from the VIC that identifies which FIQ source(s) is (are) requesting an
interrupt.
Vectored IRQs have the middle priority, but only 16 of the 32 requests can be assigned to
this category. Any of the 32 requests can be assigned to any of the 16 vectored IRQ slots,
among which slot 0 has the highest priority and slot 15 has the lowest.
Non-vectored IRQs have the lowest priority.
The VIC ORs the requests from all the vectored and non-vectored IRQs to produce the
IRQ signal to the ARM processor. The IRQ service routine can start by reading a register
from the VIC and jumping there. If any of the vectored IRQs are requesting, the VIC
provides the address of the highest-priority requesting IRQs service routine, otherwise it
provides the address of a default routine that is shared by all the non-vectored IRQs. The
default routine can read another VIC register to see what IRQs are active.
All registers in the VIC are word registers. Byte and halfword reads and write are not
supported.
Additional information on the Vectored Interrupt Controller is available in the ARM
PrimeCell™ Vectored Interrupt Controller (PL190) documentation.

5.3 Register description
The VIC implements the registers shown in Table 35. More detailed descriptions follow.

5.4 VIC registers
The following section describes the VIC registers in the order in which they are used in the
VIC logic, from those closest to the interrupt request inputs to those most abstracted for
use by software. For most people, this is also the best order to read about the registers
when learning the VIC.

5.4.1 Software Interrupt register (VICSoftInt - 0xFFFF F018)
The contents of this register are ORed with the 32 interrupt requests from the various
peripherals, before any other logic is applied.

Chapter 5: VIC

5.6 Spurious interrupts
Spurious interrupts are possible in the ARM7TDMI based microcontrollers such as the
LPC2141/2/4/6/8 due to asynchronous interrupt handling. The asynchronous character of
the interrupt processing has its roots in the interaction of the core and the VIC. If the VIC
state is changed between the moments when the core detects an interrupt, and the core
actually processes an interrupt, problems may be generated.
Real-life applications may experience the following scenarios:
1. VIC decides there is an IRQ interrupt and sends the IRQ signal to the core.
2. Core latches the IRQ state.
3. Processing continues for a few cycles due to pipelining.
4. Core loads IRQ address from VIC.
Furthermore, It is possible that the VIC state has changed during step 3. For example, VIC
was modified so that the interrupt that triggered the sequence starting with step 1) is no
longer pending -interrupt got disabled in the executed code. In this case, the VIC will not
be able to clearly identify the interrupt that generated the interrupt request, and as a result
the VIC will return the default interrupt VicDefVectAddr (0xFFFF F034).
This potentially disastrous chain of events can be prevented in two ways:
1. Application code should be set up in a way to prevent the spurious interrupts from
occurring. Simple guarding of changes to the VIC may not be enough since, for
example, glitches on level sensitive interrupts can also cause spurious interrupts.
2. VIC default handler should be set up and tested properly.

5.6.1 Details and case studies on spurious interrupts
This chapter contains details that can be obtained from the official ARM website
(http://www.arm.com), FAQ section under the "Technical Support" link:
http://www.arm.com/support/faqip/3677.html.
What happens if an interrupt occurs as it is being disabled?
Applies to: ARM7TDMI
If an interrupt is received by the core during execution of an instruction that disables
interrupts, the ARM7 family will still take the interrupt. This occurs for both IRQ and FIQ
interrupts.
For example, consider the following instruction sequence:
MRS r0, cpsr
ORR r0, r0, #I_Bit:OR:F_Bit
MSR cpsr_c, r0

;disable IRQ and FIQ interrupts

If an IRQ interrupt is received during execution of the MSR instruction, then the behavior
will be as follows:

• The IRQ interrupt is latched.

UM10139

Philips Semiconductors
Volume 1

Chapter 5: VIC

• The MSR cpsr, r0 executes to completion setting both the I bit and the F bit in the
CPSR.

• The IRQ interrupt is taken because the core was committed to taking the interrupt
exception before the I bit was set in the CPSR.

• The CPSR (with the I bit and F bit set) is moved to the SPSR_IRQ.
This means that, on entry to the IRQ interrupt service routine, you can see the unusual
effect that an IRQ interrupt has just been taken while the I bit in the SPSR is set. In the
example above, the F bit will also be set in both the CPSR and SPSR. This means that
FIQs are disabled upon entry to the IRQ service routine, and will remain so until explicitly
re-enabled. FIQs will not be reenabled automatically by the IRQ return sequence.
Although the example shows both IRQ and FIQ interrupts being disabled, similar behavior
occurs when only one of the two interrupt types is being disabled. The fact that the core
processes the IRQ after completion of the MSR instruction which disables IRQs does not
normally cause a problem, since an interrupt arriving just one cycle earlier would be
expected to be taken. When the interrupt routine returns with an instruction like:
SUBS pc, lr, #4
the SPSR_IRQ is restored to the CPSR. The CPSR will now have the I bit and F bit set,
and therefore execution will continue with all interrupts disabled. However, this can cause
problems in the following cases:
Problem 1: A particular routine maybe called as an IRQ handler, or as a regular
subroutine. In the latter case, the system guarantees that IRQs would have been disabled
prior to the routine being called. The routine exploits this restriction to determine how it
was called (by examining the I bit of the SPSR), and returns using the appropriate
instruction. If the routine is entered due to an IRQ being received during execution of the
MSR instruction which disables IRQs, then the I bit in the SPSR will be set. The routine
would therefore assume that it could not have been entered via an IRQ.
Problem 2: FIQs and IRQs are both disabled by the same write to the CPSR. In this case,
if an IRQ is received during the CPSR write, FIQs will be disabled for the execution time of
the IRQ handler. This may not be acceptable in a system where FIQs must not be
disabled for more than a few cycles.

5.6.2 Workaround
There are 3 suggested workarounds. Which of these is most applicable will depend upon
the requirements of the particular system.

5.6.3 Solution 1: test for an IRQ received during a write to disable IRQs
Add code similar to the following at the start of the interrupt routine.
SUB
STMFD
MRS
TST
LDMNEFD

lr, lr, #4
sp!, {..., lr}
lr, SPSR
lr, #I_Bit
sp!, {..., pc}^

;
;
;
;
;
;
;

Adjust LR to point to return
Get some free regs
See if we got an interrupt while
interrupts were disabled.
If so, just return immediately.
The interrupt will remain pending since we haven’t
acknowledged it and will be reissued when interrupts

; are next enabled.
; Rest of interrupt routine
This code will test for the situation where the IRQ was received during a write to disable
IRQs. If this is the case, the code returns immediately - resulting in the IRQ not being
acknowledged (cleared), and further IRQs being disabled.
Similar code may also be applied to the FIQ handler, in order to resolve the first issue.
This is the recommended workaround, as it overcomes both problems mentioned above.
However, in the case of problem two, it does add several cycles to the maximum length of
time FIQs will be disabled.

5.6.4 Solution 2: disable IRQs and FIQs using separate writes to the CPSR
MRS
ORR
MSR
ORR
MSR

r0, cpsr
r0, r0, #I_Bit
cpsr_c, r0
r0, r0, #F_Bit
cpsr_c, r0

;disable IRQs
;disable FIQs

This is the best workaround where the maximum time for which FIQs are disabled is
critical (it does not increase this time at all). However, it does not solve problem one, and
requires extra instructions at every point where IRQs and FIQs are disabled together.

5.6.5 Solution 3: re-enable FIQs at the beginning of the IRQ handler
As the required state of all bits in the c field of the CPSR are known, this can be most
efficiently be achieved by writing an immediate value to CPSR_C, for example:
MSR cpsr_c, #I_Bit:OR:irq_MODE

;IRQ should be disabled
;FIQ enabled
;ARM state, IRQ mode

This requires only the IRQ handler to be modified, and FIQs may be re-enabled more
quickly than by using workaround 1. However, this should only be used if the system can
guarantee that FIQs are never disabled while IRQs are enabled. It does not address
problem one.

5.7 VIC usage notes
If user code is running from an on-chip RAM and an application uses interrupts, interrupt
vectors must be re-mapped to on-chip address 0x0. This is necessary because all the
exception vectors are located at addresses 0x0 and above. This is easily achieved by
configuring the MEMMAP register (see Section 3.7.1 “Memory Mapping control register
(MEMMAP - 0xE01F C040)” on page 26) to User RAM mode. Application code should be
linked such that at 0x4000 0000 the Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) will reside.
Although multiple sources can be selected (VICIntSelect) to generate FIQ request, only
one interrupt service routine should be dedicated to service all available/present FIQ
request(s). Therefore, if more than one interrupt sources are classified as FIQ the FIQ
interrupt service routine must read VICFIQStatus to decide based on this content what to

do and how to process the interrupt request. However, it is recommended that only one
interrupt source should be classified as FIQ. Classifying more than one interrupt sources
as FIQ will increase the interrupt latency.
Following the completion of the desired interrupt service routine, clearing of the interrupt
flag on the peripheral level will propagate to corresponding bits in VIC registers
(VICRawIntr, VICFIQStatus and VICIRQStatus). Also, before the next interrupt can be
serviced, it is necessary that write is performed into the VICVectAddr register before the
return from interrupt is executed. This write will clear the respective interrupt flag in the
internal interrupt priority hardware.
In order to disable the interrupt at the VIC you need to clear corresponding bit in the
VICIntEnClr register, which in turn clears the related bit in the VICIntEnable register. This
also applies to the VICSoftInt and VICSoftIntClear in which VICSoftIntClear will clear the
respective bits in VICSoftInt. For example, if VICSoftInt = 0x0000 0005 and bit 0 has to be
cleared, VICSoftIntClear = 0x0000 0001 will accomplish this. Before the new clear
operation on the same bit in VICSoftInt using writing into VICSoftIntClear is performed in
the future, VICSoftIntClear = 0x0000 0000 must be assigned. Therefore writing 1 to any
bit in Clear register will have one-time-effect in the destination register.
If the watchdog is enabled for interrupt on underflow or invalid feed sequence only then
there is no way of clearing the interrupt. The only way you could perform return from
interrupt is by disabling the interrupt at the VIC (using VICIntEnClr).
Example:
Assuming that UART0 and SPI0 are generating interrupt requests that are classified as
vectored IRQs (UART0 being on the higher level than SPI0), while UART1 and I2C are
generating non-vectored IRQs, the following could be one possibility for VIC setup:
VICIntSelect = 0x0000 0000
VICIntEnable = 0x0000 06C0
VICDefVectAddr = 0x...
VICVectAddr0 = 0x...
VICVectAddr1 = 0x...
VICVectCntl0 = 0x0000 0026

; SPI0, I2C, UART1 and UART0 are IRQ =>
; bit10, bit9, bit7 and bit6=0
; SPI0, I2C, UART1 and UART0 are enabled interrupts =>
; bit10, bit9, bit 7 and bit6=1
; holds address at what routine for servicing
; non-vectored IRQs (i.e. UART1 and I2C) starts
; holds address where UART0 IRQ service routine starts
; holds address where SPI0 IRQ service routine starts
; interrupt source with index 6 (UART0) is enabled as
; the one with priority 0 (the highest)
; interrupt source with index 10 (SPI0) is enabled
; as the one with priority 1

After any of IRQ requests (SPI0, I2C, UART0 or UART1) is made, microcontroller will
redirect code execution to the address specified at location 0x0000 0018. For vectored
and non-vectored IRQ’s the following instruction could be placed at 0x0000 0018:
LDR pc, [pc,#-0xFF0]
This instruction loads PC with the address that is present in VICVectAddr register.

In case UART0 request has been made, VICVectAddr will be identical to VICVectAddr0,
while in case SPI0 request has been made value from VICVectAddr1 will be found here. If
neither UART0 nor SPI0 have generated IRQ request but UART1 and/or I2C were the
reason, content of VICVectAddr will be identical to VICDefVectAddr.

Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005

User manual

7.1 Features
• Allows individual pin configuration.

7.2 Applications
The purpose of the Pin Connect Block is to configure the microcontroller pins to the
desired functions.

7.3 Description
The pin connect block allows selected pins of the microcontroller to have more than one
function. Configuration registers control the multiplexers to allow connection between the
pin and the on chip peripherals.
Peripherals should be connected to the appropriate pins prior to being activated, and prior
to any related interrupt(s) being enabled. Activity of any enabled peripheral function that is
not mapped to a related pin should be considered undefined.
Selection of a single function on a port pin completely excludes all other functions
otherwise available on the same pin.
The only partial exception from the above rule of exclusion is the case of inputs to the A/D
converter. Regardless of the function that is selected for the port pin that also hosts the
A/D input, this A/D input can be read at any time and variations of the voltage level on this
pin will be reflected in the A/D readings. However, valid analog reading(s) can be obtained
if and only if the function of an analog input is selected. Only in this case proper interface
circuit is active in between the physical pin and the A/D module. In all other cases, a part
of digital logic necessary for the digital function to be performed will be active, and will
disrupt proper behavior of the A/D.

7.4 Register description
The Pin Control Module contains 2 registers as shown in Table 59 below.

8.1 Features
• Every physical GPIO port is accessible via either the group of registers providing an
enhanced features and accelerated port access or the legacy group of registers

• Accelerated GPIO functions:
– GPIO registers are relocated to the ARM local bus so that the fastest possible I/O
timing can be achieved
– Mask registers allow treating sets of port bits as a group, leaving other bits
unchanged
– All registers are byte and half-word addressable
– Entire port value can be written in one instruction

• Bit-level set and clear registers allow a single instruction set or clear of any number of
bits in one port

• Direction control of individual bits
• All I/O default to inputs after reset
• Backward compatibility with other earlier devices is maintained with legacy registers
appearing at the original addresses on the VPB bus

LPC2141/2/4/6/8 has two 32-bit General Purpose I/O ports. Total of 30 input/output and a
single output only pin out of 32 pins are available on PORT0. PORT1 has up to 16 pins
available for GPIO functions. PORT0 and PORT1 are controlled via two groups of 4
registers as shown in Table 65 and Table 66.
Legacy registers shown in Table 65 allow backward compatibility with earlier family
devices, using existing code. The functions and relative timing of older GPIO
implementations is preserved.

Chapter 8: GPIO

The registers in Table 66 represent the enhanced GPIO features available on the
LPC2141/2/4/6/8. All of these registers are located directly on the local bus of the CPU for
the fastest possible read and write timing. An additional feature has been added that
provides byte addressability of all GPIO registers. A mask register allows treating groups
of bits in a single GPIO port separately from other bits on the same port.
User must select whether a GPIO will be accessed via registers that provide enhanced
features or a legacy set of registers (see Section 3.6.1 “System Control and Status flags
register (SCS - 0xE01F C1A0)” on page 26). While both of a port’s fast and legacy GPIO
registers are controlling the same physical pins, these two port control branches are
mutually exclusive and operate independently. For example, changing a pin’s output via a
fast register will not be observable via the corresponding legacy register.
The following text will refer to the legacy GPIO as "the slow" GPIO, while GPIO equipped
with the enhanced features will be referred as "the fast" GPIO.

This word accessible register is used to control the direction of the pins when they are
configured as GPIO port pins. Direction bit for any pin must be set according to the pin
functionality.
Legacy registers are the IO0DIR and IO1DIR, while the enhanced GPIO functions are
supported via the FIO0DIR and FIO1DIR registers.

This register provides the value of port pins that are configured to perform only digital
functions. The register will give the logic value of the pin regardless of whether the pin is
configured for input or output, or as GPIO or an alternate digital function. As an example,
a particular port pin may have GPIO input, GPIO output, UART receive, and PWM output
as selectable functions. Any configuration of that pin will allow its current logic state to be
read from the IOPIN register.

Chapter 8: GPIO

If a pin has an analog function as one of its options, the pin state cannot be read if the
analog configuration is selected. Selecting the pin as an A/D input disconnects the digital
features of the pin. In that case, the pin value read in the IOPIN register is not valid.
Writing to the IOPIN register stores the value in the port output register, bypassing the
need to use both the IOSET and IOCLR registers to obtain the entire written value. This
feature should be used carefully in an application since it affects the entire port.
Legacy registers are the IO0PIN and IO1PIN, while the enhanced GPIOs are supported
via the FIO0PIN and FIO1PIN registers. Access to a port pins via the FIOPIN register is
conditioned by the corresponding FIOMASK register (see Section 8.4.2 “Fast GPIO port
Mask register (FIOMASK, Port 0: FIO0MASK - 0x3FFF C010 and Port 1:FIO1MASK 0x3FFF C030)”).
Only pins masked with zeros in the Mask register (see Section 8.4.2 “Fast GPIO port
Mask register (FIOMASK, Port 0: FIO0MASK - 0x3FFF C010 and Port 1:FIO1MASK 0x3FFF C030)”) will be correlated to the current content of the Fast GPIO port pin value
register.

This register is used to produce a LOW level output at port pins configured as GPIO in an
OUTPUT mode. Writing 1 produces a LOW level at the corresponding port pin and clears
the corresponding bit in the IOSET register. Writing 0 has no effect. If any pin is configured
as an input or a secondary function, writing to IOCLR has no effect.
Legacy registers are the IO0CLR and IO1CLR, while the enhanced GPIOs are supported
via the FIO0CLR and FIO1CLR registers. Access to a port pins via the FIOCLR register is
conditioned by the corresponding FIOMASK register (see Section 8.4.2 “Fast GPIO port
Mask register (FIOMASK, Port 0: FIO0MASK - 0x3FFF C010 and Port 1:FIO1MASK 0x3FFF C030)”).

8.5 GPIO usage notes
8.5.1 Example 1: sequential accesses to IOSET and IOCLR affecting the
same GPIO pin/bit
State of the output configured GPIO pin is determined by writes into the pin’s port IOSET
and IOCLR registers. Last of these accesses to the IOSET/IOCLR register will determine
the final output of a pin.
In case of a code:
IO0DIR
IO0CLR
IO0SET
IO0CLR

=
=

=

0x0000
0x0000

0080
0080

;pin P0.7 configured as output
;P0.7 goes LOW
;P0.7 goes HIGH
;P0.7 goes LOW

pin P0.7 is configured as an output (write to IO0DIR register). After this, P0.7 output is set
to low (first write to IO0CLR register). Short high pulse follows on P0.7 (write access to
IO0SET), and the final write to IO0CLR register sets pin P0.7 back to low level.

8.5.2 Example 2: an immediate output of 0s and 1s on a GPIO port
Write access to port’s IOSET followed by write to the IOCLR register results with pins
outputting 0s being slightly later then pins outputting 1s. There are systems that can
tolerate this delay of a valid output, but for some applications simultaneous output of a
binary content (mixed 0s and 1s) within a group of pins on a single GPIO port is required.
This can be accomplished by writing to the port’s IOPIN register.
Following code will preserve existing output on PORT0 pins P0.[31:16] and P0.[7:0] and at
the same time set P0.[15:8] to 0xA5, regardless of the previous value of pins P0.[15:8]:
IO0PIN = (IO0PIN && 0xFFFF00FF) || 0x0000A500
The same outcome can be obtained using the fast port access.
Solution 1: using 32-bit (word) accessible fast GPIO registers
FIO0MASK = 0xFFFF00FF;
FIO0PIN = 0x0000A500;
Solution 2: using 16-bit (half-word) accessible fast GPIO registers
FIO0MASKL = 0x00FF;
FIO0PINL = 0xA500;
Solution 3: using 8-bit (byte) accessible fast GPIO registers
FIO0PIN1 = 0xA5;

Chapter 8: GPIO

8.5.3 Writing to IOSET/IOCLR .vs. IOPIN
Write to the IOSET/IOCLR register allows easy change of the port’s selected output pin(s)
to high/low level at a time. Only pin/bit(s) in the IOSET/IOCLR written with 1 will be set to
high/low level, while those written as 0 will remain unaffected. However, by just writing to
either IOSET or IOCLR register it is not possible to instantaneously output arbitrary binary
data containing mixture of 0s and 1s on a GPIO port.
Write to the IOPIN register enables instantaneous output of a desired content on the
parallel GPIO. Binary data written into the IOPIN register will affect all output configured
pins of that parallel port: 0s in the IOPIN will produce low level pin outputs and 1s in IOPIN
will produce high level pin outputs. In order to change output of only a group of port’s pins,
application must logically AND readout from the IOPIN with mask containing 0s in bits
corresponding to pins that will be changed, and 1s for all others. Finally, this result has to
be logically ORred with the desired content and stored back into the IOPIN register.
Example 2 from above illustrates output of 0xA5 on PORT0 pins 15 to 8 while preserving
all other PORT0 output pins as they were before.

8.5.4 Output signal frequency considerations when using the legacy and
enhanced GPIO registers
The enhanced features of the fast GPIO ports available on this microcontroller make
GPIO pins more responsive to the code that has task of controlling them. In particular,
software access to a GPIO pin is 3.5 times faster via the fast GPIO registers than it is
when the legacy set of registers is used. As a result of the access speed increase, the
maximum output frequency of the digital pin is increased 3.5 times, too. This tremendous
increase of the output frequency is not always that visible when a plain C code is used,
and a portion of an application handling the fast port output might have to be written in an
assembly code and executed in the ARM mode.
Here is a code where the pin control section is written in assembly language for ARM. It
illustrates the difference between the fast and slow GPIO port output capabilities. Once
this code is compiled in the ARM mode, its execution from the on-chip Flash will yield the
best results when the MAM module is configured as described in Section 4.9 “MAM usage
notes” on page 49. Execution from the on-chip SRAM is independent from the MAM
setup.

9.3.1 UART0 Receiver Buffer Register (U0RBR - 0xE000 C000, when
DLAB = 0, Read Only)
The U0RBR is the top byte of the UART0 Rx FIFO. The top byte of the Rx FIFO contains
the oldest character received and can be read via the bus interface. The LSB (bit 0)
represents the “oldest” received data bit. If the character received is less than 8 bits, the
unused MSBs are padded with zeroes.
The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U0LCR must be zero in order to access the
U0RBR. The U0RBR is always Read Only.
Since PE, FE and BI bits correspond to the byte sitting on the top of the RBR FIFO (i.e.
the one that will be read in the next read from the RBR), the right approach for fetching the
valid pair of received byte and its status bits is first to read the content of the U0LSR
register, and then to read a byte from the U0RBR.

9.3.2 UART0 Transmit Holding Register (U0THR - 0xE000 C000, when
DLAB = 0, Write Only)
The U0THR is the top byte of the UART0 TX FIFO. The top byte is the newest character in
the TX FIFO and can be written via the bus interface. The LSB represents the first bit to
transmit.
The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U0LCR must be zero in order to access the
U0THR. The U0THR is always Write Only.

9.3.3 UART0 Divisor Latch Registers (U0DLL - 0xE000 C000 and U0DLM 0xE000 C004, when DLAB = 1)
The UART0 Divisor Latch is part of the UART0 Fractional Baud Rate Generator and holds
the value used to divide the clock supplied by the fractional prescaler in order to produce
the baud rate clock, which must be 16x the desired baud rate (Equation 1). The U0DLL
and U0DLM registers together form a 16 bit divisor where U0DLL contains the lower 8 bits
of the divisor and U0DLM contains the higher 8 bits of the divisor. A 0x0000 value is
treated like a 0x0001 value as division by zero is not allowed.The Divisor Latch Access Bit
(DLAB) in U0LCR must be one in order to access the UART0 Divisor Latches.
Details on how to select the right value for U0DLL and U0DLM can be found later on in
this chapter.

This register controls the clock pre-scaler for the baud rate generation. The reset value of

16 × ( 16 × U0DLM + U0DLL ) × ⎛ 1 + ---------------------------- ⎞
⎝

Where PCLK is the peripheral clock, U0DLM and U0DLL are the standard UART0 baud
rate divider registers, and DIVADDVAL and MULVAL are UART0 fractional baudrate
generator specific parameters.
The value of MULVAL and DIVADDVAL should comply to the following conditions:
1. 0 < MULVAL ≤ 15
2. 0 ≤ DIVADDVAL ≤ 15

If the U0FDR register value does not comply to these two requests then the fractional
divider output is undefined. If DIVADDVAL is zero then the fractional divider is disabled
and the clock will not be divided.
The value of the U0FDR should not be modified while transmitting/receiving data or data
may be lost or corrupted.
Usage Note: For practical purposes, UART0 baudrate formula can be written in a way
that identifies the part of a UART baudrate generated without the fractional baudrate
generator, and the correction factor that this module adds:
(2)
PCLK
MulVal
UART0 baudrate = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- × ----------------------------------------------------------16 × ( 16 × U0DLM + U0DLL ) ( MulVal + DivAddVal )

Based on this representation, fractional baudrate generator contribution can also be
described as a prescaling with a factor of MULVAL / (MULVAL + DIVADDVAL).

9.3.5 UART0 baudrate calculation
Example 1: Using UART0baudrate formula from above, it can be determined that system
with PCLK = 20 MHz, U0DL = 130 (U0DLM = 0x00 and U0DLL = 0x82), DIVADDVAL = 0
and MULVAL = 1 will enable UART0 with UART0baudrate = 9615 bauds.
Example 2: Using UART0baudrate formula from above, it can be determined that system
with PCLK = 20 MHz, U0DL = 93 (U0DLM = 0x00 and U0DLL = 0x5D), DIVADDVAL = 2
and MULVAL = 5 will enable UART0 with UART0baudrate = 9600 bauds.

Chapter 9: UART0

The UART0 RLS interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 011) is the highest priority interrupt and is set
whenever any one of four error conditions occur on the UART0 Rx input: overrun error
(OE), parity error (PE), framing error (FE) and break interrupt (BI). The UART0 Rx error
condition that set the interrupt can be observed via U0LSR[4:1]. The interrupt is cleared
upon an U0LSR read.
The UART0 RDA interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 010) shares the second level priority with the CTI
interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 110). The RDA is activated when the UART0 Rx FIFO reaches the
trigger level defined in U0FCR[7:6] and is reset when the UART0 Rx FIFO depth falls
below the trigger level. When the RDA interrupt goes active, the CPU can read a block of
data defined by the trigger level.
The CTI interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 110) is a second level interrupt and is set when the UART0
Rx FIFO contains at least one character and no UART0 Rx FIFO activity has occurred in
3.5 to 4.5 character times. Any UART0 Rx FIFO activity (read or write of UART0 RSR) will
clear the interrupt. This interrupt is intended to flush the UART0 RBR after a message has
been received that is not a multiple of the trigger level size. For example, if a peripheral
wished to send a 105 character message and the trigger level was 10 characters, the CPU
would receive 10 RDA interrupts resulting in the transfer of 100 characters and 1 to 5 CTI
interrupts (depending on the service routine) resulting in the transfer of the remaining 5
characters.

The UART0 THRE interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 001) is a third level interrupt and is activated

initialization conditions implement a one character delay minus the stop bit whenever
THRE=1 and there have not been at least two characters in the U0THR at one time since
the last THRE = 1 event. This delay is provided to give the CPU time to write data to
U0THR without a THRE interrupt to decode and service. A THRE interrupt is set
immediately if the UART0 THR FIFO has held two or more characters at one time and
currently, the U0THR is empty. The THRE interrupt is reset when a U0THR write occurs or
a read of the U0IIR occurs and the THRE is the highest interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 001).

9.3.13 Auto-baud
The UART0 auto-baud function can be used to measure the incoming baud-rate based on
the ”AT" protocol (Hayes command). If enabled the auto-baud feature will measure the bit
time of the receive data stream and set the divisor latch registers U0DLM and U0DLL
accordingly.
Auto-baud is started by setting the U0ACR Start bit. Auto-baud can be stopped by
clearing the U0ACR Start bit. The Start bit will clear once auto-baud has finished and
reading the bit will return the status of auto-baud (pending/finished).
Two auto-baud measuring modes are available which can be selected by the U0ACR
Mode bit. In mode 0 the baud-rate is measured on two subsequent falling edges of the
UART0 Rx pin (the falling edge of the start bit and the falling edge of the least significant
bit). In mode 1 the baud-rate is measured between the falling edge and the subsequent
rising edge of the UART0 Rx pin (the length of the start bit).

The U0ACR AutoRestart bit can be used to automatically restart baud-rate measurement
if a time-out occurs (the rate measurement counter overflows). If this bit is set the rate
measurement will restart at the next falling edge of the UART0 Rx pin.
The auto-baud function can generate two interrupts.

• The U0IIR ABTOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U0IER ABToIntEn
is set and the auto-baud rate measurement counter overflows).

• The U0IIR ABEOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U0IER ABEOIntEn
is set and the auto-baud has completed successfully).
The auto-baud interrupts have to be cleared by setting the corresponding U0ACR
ABTOIntClr and ABEOIntEn bits.
Typically the fractional baud-rate generator is disabled (DIVADDVAL = 0) during
auto-baud. However, if the fractional baud-rate generator is enabled (DIVADDVAL > 0), it
is going to impact the measuring of UART0 Rx pin baud-rate, but the value of the U0FDR
register is not going to be modified after rate measurement. Also, when auto-baud is used,
any write to U0DLM and U0DLL registers should be done before U0ACR register write.
The minimum and the maximum baudrates supported by UART0 are function of PCLK,
number of data bits, stop-bits and parity bits.

When this bit is 1, as it is after a Reset, data written to the THR is output 1
on the TXD pin as soon as any preceding data has been sent. If this bit
is cleared to 0 while a character is being sent, the transmission of that
character is completed, but no further characters are sent until this bit is
set again. In other words, a 0 in this bit blocks the transfer of characters
from the THR or TX FIFO into the transmit shift register. Software
implementing software-handshaking can clear this bit when it receives
an XOFF character (DC3). Software can set this bit again when it
receives an XON (DC1) character.

When the software is expecting an ”AT" command, it configures the UART0 with the
expected character format and sets the U0ACR Start bit. The initial values in the divisor
latches U0DLM and U0DLM don‘t care. Because of the ”A" or ”a" ASCII coding
(”A" = 0x41, ”a" = 0x61), the UART0 Rx pin sensed start bit and the LSB of the expected
character are delimited by two falling edges. When the U0ACR Start bit is set, the
auto-baud protocol will execute the following phases:
1. On U0ACR Start bit setting, the baud-rate measurement counter is reset and the
UART0 U0RSR is reset. The U0RSR baud rate is switch to the highest rate.
2. A falling edge on UART0 Rx pin triggers the beginning of the start bit. The rate
measuring counter will start counting PCLK cycles optionally pre-scaled by the
fractional baud-rate generator.
3. During the receipt of the start bit, 16 pulses are generated on the RSR baud input with
the frequency of the (fractional baud-rate pre-scaled) UART0 input clock,
guaranteeing the start bit is stored in the U0RSR.
4. During the receipt of the start bit (and the character LSB for mode = 0) the rate
counter will continue incrementing with the pre-scaled UART0 input clock (PCLK).
5. If Mode = 0 then the rate counter will stop on next falling edge of the UART0 Rx pin. If
Mode = 1 then the rate counter will stop on the next rising edge of the UART0 Rx pin.
6. The rate counter is loaded into U0DLM/U0DLL and the baud-rate will be switched to
normal operation. After setting the U0DLM/U0DLL the end of auto-baud interrupt
U0IIR ABEOInt will be set, if enabled. The U0RSR will now continue receiving the
remaining bits of the ”A/a" character.

9.4 Architecture
The architecture of the UART0 is shown below in the block diagram.
The VPB interface provides a communications link between the CPU or host and the
UART0.
The UART0 receiver block, U0RX, monitors the serial input line, RXD0, for valid input. The
UART0 RX Shift Register (U0RSR) accepts valid characters via RXD0. After a valid
character is assembled in the U0RSR, it is passed to the UART0 RX Buffer Register FIFO
to await access by the CPU or host via the generic host interface.

Chapter 9: UART0

The UART0 transmitter block, U0TX, accepts data written by the CPU or host and buffers
the data in the UART0 TX Holding Register FIFO (U0THR). The UART0 TX Shift Register
(U0TSR) reads the data stored in the U0THR and assembles the data to transmit via the
serial output pin, TXD0.
The UART0 Baud Rate Generator block, U0BRG, generates the timing enables used by
the UART0 TX block. The U0BRG clock input source is the VPB clock (PCLK). The main
clock is divided down per the divisor specified in the U0DLL and U0DLM registers. This
divided down clock is a 16x oversample clock, NBAUDOUT.
The interrupt interface contains registers U0IER and U0IIR. The interrupt interface
receives several one clock wide enables from the U0TX and U0RX blocks.
Status information from the U0TX and U0RX is stored in the U0LSR. Control information
for the U0TX and U0RX is stored in the U0LCR.

10.3.1 UART1 Receiver Buffer Register (U1RBR - 0xE001 0000, when
DLAB = 0 Read Only)
The U1RBR is the top byte of the UART1 RX FIFO. The top byte of the RX FIFO contains
the oldest character received and can be read via the bus interface. The LSB (bit 0)
represents the “oldest” received data bit. If the character received is less than 8 bits, the
unused MSBs are padded with zeroes.
The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U1LCR must be zero in order to access the
U1RBR. The U1RBR is always Read Only.
Since PE, FE and BI bits correspond to the byte sitting on the top of the RBR FIFO (i.e.
the one that will be read in the next read from the RBR), the right approach for fetching the
valid pair of received byte and its status bits is first to read the content of the U1LSR
register, and then to read a byte from the U1RBR.

10.3.2 UART1 Transmitter Holding Register (U1THR - 0xE001 0000, when
DLAB = 0 Write Only)
The U1THR is the top byte of the UART1 TX FIFO. The top byte is the newest character in
the TX FIFO and can be written via the bus interface. The LSB represents the first bit to
transmit.
The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U1LCR must be zero in order to access the
U1THR. The U1THR is always Write Only.

Writing to the UART1 Transmit Holding Register causes the data NA

10.3.3 UART1 Divisor Latch Registers 0 and 1 (U1DLL - 0xE001 0000 and
U1DLM - 0xE001 0004, when DLAB = 1)
The UART1 Divisor Latch is part of the UART1 Fractional Baud Rate Generator and holds
the value used to divide the clock supplied by the fractional prescaler in order to produce
the baud rate clock, which must be 16x the desired baud rate (Equation 4). The U1DLL
and U1DLM registers together form a 16 bit divisor where U1DLL contains the lower 8 bits
of the divisor and U1DLM contains the higher 8 bits of the divisor. A 0x0000 value is
treated like a 0x0001 value as division by zero is not allowed.The Divisor Latch Access Bit
(DLAB) in U1LCR must be one in order to access the UART1 Divisor Latches.
Details on how to select the right value for U1DLL and U1DLM can be found later on in
this chapter.

This register controls the clock pre-scaler for the baud rate generation. The reset value of
the register keeps the fractional capabilities of UART1 disabled making sure that UART1 is
fully software and hardware compatible with UARTs not equipped with this feature.
UART1 baudrate can be calculated as:

PCLK
UART1 baudrate = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DivAddVal
16 × ( 16 × U1DLM + U1DLL ) × ⎛ 1 + ---------------------------- ⎞
⎝
MulVal ⎠
Where PCLK is the peripheral clock, U1DLM and U1DLL are the standard UART1 baud
rate divider registers, and DIVADDVAL and MULVAL are UART1 fractional baudrate
generator specific parameters.
The value of MULVAL and DIVADDVAL should comply to the following conditions:
1. 0 < MULVAL ≤ 15
2. 0 ≤ DIVADDVAL ≤ 15

If the U1FDR register value does not comply to these two requests then the fractional
divider output is undefined. If DIVADDVAL is zero then the fractional divider is disabled
and the clock will not be divided.
The value of the U1FDR should not be modified while transmitting/receiving data or data
may be lost or corrupted.
Usage Note: For practical purposes, UART1 baudrate formula can be written in a way
that identifies the part of a UART baudrate generated without the fractional baudrate
generator, and the correction factor that this module adds:
(5)
PCLK
MulVal
UART1 baudrate = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- × ----------------------------------------------------------16 × ( 16 × U1DLM + U1DLL ) ( MulVal + DivAddVal )

Based on this representation, fractional baudrate generator contribution can also be
described as a prescaling with a factor of MULVAL / (MULVAL + DIVADDVAL).

10.3.5 UART1 baudrate calculation
Example 1: Using UART1baudrate formula from above, it can be determined that system
with PCLK = 20 MHz, U1DL = 130 (U1DLM = 0x00 and U1DLL = 0x82), DIVADDVAL = 0
and MULVAL = 1 will enable UART1 with UART1baudrate = 9615 bauds.
Example 2: Using UART1baudrate formula from above, it can be determined that system
with PCLK = 20 MHz, U1DL = 93 (U1DLM = 0x00 and U1DLL = 0x5D), DIVADDVAL = 2
and MULVAL = 5 will enable UART1 with UART1baudrate = 9600 bauds.

Interrupts are handled as described in Table 83. Given the status of U1IIR[3:0], an
interrupt handler routine can determine the cause of the interrupt and how to clear the
active interrupt. The U1IIR must be read in order to clear the interrupt prior to exiting the
Interrupt Service Routine.
The UART1 RLS interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 011) is the highest priority interrupt and is set
whenever any one of four error conditions occur on the UART1RX input: overrun error
(OE), parity error (PE), framing error (FE) and break interrupt (BI). The UART1 Rx error
condition that set the interrupt can be observed via U1LSR[4:1]. The interrupt is cleared
upon an U1LSR read.
The UART1 RDA interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 010) shares the second level priority with the CTI
interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 110). The RDA is activated when the UART1 Rx FIFO reaches the
trigger level defined in U1FCR7:6 and is reset when the UART1 Rx FIFO depth falls below
the trigger level. When the RDA interrupt goes active, the CPU can read a block of data
defined by the trigger level.
The CTI interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 110) is a second level interrupt and is set when the UART1
Rx FIFO contains at least one character and no UART1 Rx FIFO activity has occurred in
3.5 to 4.5 character times. Any UART1 Rx FIFO activity (read or write of UART1 RSR) will
clear the interrupt. This interrupt is intended to flush the UART1 RBR after a message has
been received that is not a multiple of the trigger level size. For example, if a peripheral
wished to send a 105 character message and the trigger level was 10 characters, the CPU
would receive 10 RDA interrupts resulting in the transfer of 100 characters and 1 to 5 CTI
interrupts (depending on the service routine) resulting in the transfer of the remaining 5
characters.

Only)”

The UART1 THRE interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 001) is a third level interrupt and is activated
when the UART1 THR FIFO is empty provided certain initialization conditions have been
met. These initialization conditions are intended to give the UART1 THR FIFO a chance to
fill up with data to eliminate many THRE interrupts from occurring at system start-up. The
initialization conditions implement a one character delay minus the stop bit whenever
THRE = 1 and there have not been at least two characters in the U1THR at one time since
the last THRE = 1 event. This delay is provided to give the CPU time to write data to
U1THR without a THRE interrupt to decode and service. A THRE interrupt is set
immediately if the UART1 THR FIFO has held two or more characters at one time and
currently, the U1THR is empty. The THRE interrupt is reset when a U1THR write occurs or
a read of the U1IIR occurs and the THRE is the highest interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 001).
The modem interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 000) is available in LPC2144/6/8 only. It is the lowest
priority interrupt and is activated whenever there is any state change on modem inputs
pins, DCD, DSR or CTS. In addition, a low to high transition on modem input RI will
generate a modem interrupt. The source of the modem interrupt can be determined by
examining U1MSR[3:0]. A U1MSR read will clear the modem interrupt.

The modem loopback mode provides a mechanism to perform 0

connected internally to serial input of the receiver. Input pin,
RXD1, has no effect on loopback and output pin, TXD1 is held
in marking state. The four modem inputs (CTS, DSR, RI and
DCD) are disconnected externally. Externally, the modem
outputs (RTS, DTR) are set inactive. Internally, the four modem
outputs are connected to the four modem inputs. As a result of
these connections, the upper four bits of the U1MSR will be
driven by the lower four bits of the U1MCR rather than the four
modem inputs in normal mode. This permits modem status
interrupts to be generated in loopback mode by writing the
lower four bits of U1MCR.

Chapter 10: UART1

Auto-RTS
The auto-RTS function is enabled by setting the CTSen bit. Auto-RTS data flow control
originates in the U1RBR module and is linked to the programmed receiver FIFO trigger
level. If auto-RTS is enabled, when the receiver FIFO level reaches the programmed
trigger level RTS1 is deasserted (to a high value). The sending UART may send an
additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another
byte to send) because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS1 until after it has
begun sending the additional byte. RTS1 is automatically reasserted (to a low value) once
the receiver FIFO has reached the previous trigger level. The reassertion of RTS1 signals
the sending UART to continue transmitting data.
If auto-RTS mode is disabled the RTSen bit controls the RTS1 output of the UART1. If
auto-RTS mode is enabled hardware controls the RTS1 output and the actual value of
RTS1 will be copied in the RTSen bit of the UART1. As long as auto-RTS is enabled the
value if the RTSen bit is read-only for software.

~
~

Example: Suppose the UART1 operating in type 550 has trigger level in U1FCR set to 0x2
then if auto-RTS is enabled the UART1 will deassert the RTS1 output as soon as the
receive FIFO contains 8 bytes (Table 123 on page 122). The RTS1 output will be
reasserted as soon as the receive FIFO hits the previous trigger level: 4 bytes.

Auto-CTS
The auto-CTS function is enabled by setting the CTSen bit. If auto-CTS is enabled the
transmitter circuitry in the U1TSR module checks CTS1 input before sending the next data
byte. When CTS1 is active (low), the transmitter sends the next byte. To stop the
transmitter from sending the following byte, CTS1 must be released before the middle of
the last stop bit that is currently being sent. In auto-CTS mode a change of the CTS1
signal does not trigger a modem status interrupt unless the CTS Interrupt Enable bit is set,
Delta CTS bit in the U1MSR will be set though. Table 126 lists the conditions for
generating a Modem Status interrupt.

The auto-CTS function reduces interrupts to the host system. When flow control is
enabled, a CTS1 state change does not trigger host interrupts because the device
automatically controls its own transmitter. Without auto-CTS, the transmitter sends any
data present in the transmit FIFO and a receiver overrun error can result. Figure 21
illustrates the auto-CTS functional timing.

~
~

CTS1 pin

Fig 21. Auto-CTS functional timing

While starting transmission of the initial character the CTS1 signal is asserted.
Transmission will stall as soon as the pending transmission has completed. The UART will
continue transmitting a 1 bit as long as CTS1 is deasserted (high). As soon as CTS1 gets
deasserted transmission resumes and a start bit is sent followed by the data bits of the
next character.

10.3.15 Auto-baud
The UART1 auto-baud function can be used to measure the incoming baud-rate based on
the ”AT" protocol (Hayes command). If enabled the auto-baud feature will measure the bit
time of the receive data stream and set the divisor latch registers U1DLM and U1DLL
accordingly.
Auto-baud is started by setting the U1ACR Start bit. Auto-baud can be stopped by
clearing the U1ACR Start bit. The Start bit will clear once auto-baud has finished and
reading the bit will return the status of auto-baud (pending/finished).
Two auto-baud measuring modes are available which can be selected by the U1ACR
Mode bit. In mode 0 the baud-rate is measured on two subsequent falling edges of the
UART1 Rx pin (the falling edge of the start bit and the falling edge of the least significant
bit). In mode 1 the baud-rate is measured between the falling edge and the subsequent
rising edge of the UART1 Rx pin (the length of the start bit).
The U1ACR AutoRestart bit can be used to automatically restart baud-rate measurement
if a time-out occurs (the rate measurement counter overflows). If this bit is set the rate
measurement will restart at the next falling edge of the UART1 Rx pin.
The auto-baud function can generate two interrupts.

• The U1IIR ABTOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U1IER ABToIntEn
is set and the auto-baud rate measurement counter overflows).

• The U1IIR ABEOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U1IER ABEOIntEn
is set and the auto-baud has completed successfully).
The auto-baud interrupts have to be cleared by setting the corresponding U1ACR
ABTOIntClr and ABEOIntEn bits.
Typically the fractional baud-rate generator is disabled (DIVADDVAL = 0) during
auto-baud. However, if the fractional baud-rate generator is enabled (DIVADDVAL > 0), it
is going to impact the measuring of UART1 Rx pin baud-rate, but the value of the U1FDR
register is not going to be modified after rate measurement. Also, when auto-baud is used,
any write to U1DLM and U1DLL registers should be done before U1ACR register write.
The minimum and the maximum baudrates supported by UART1 are function of PCLK,
number of data bits, stop-bits and parity bits.

10.3.16 Auto-baud Modes
When the software is expecting an ”AT" command, it configures the UART1 with the
expected character format and sets the U1ACR Start bit. The initial values in the divisor
latches U1DLM and U1DLM don‘t care. Because of the ”A" or ”a" ASCII coding
(”A" = 0x41, ”a" = 0x61), the UART1 Rx pin sensed start bit and the LSB of the expected
character are delimited by two falling edges. When the U1ACR Start bit is set, the
auto-baud protocol will execute the following phases:
1. On U1ACR Start bit setting, the baud-rate measurement counter is reset and the
UART1 U1RSR is reset. The U1RSR baud rate is switch to the highest rate.
2. A falling edge on UART1 Rx pin triggers the beginning of the start bit. The rate
measuring counter will start counting PCLK cycles optionally pre-scaled by the
fractional baud-rate generator.
3. During the receipt of the start bit, 16 pulses are generated on the RSR baud input with
the frequency of the (fractional baud-rate pre-scaled) UART1 input clock,
guaranteeing the start bit is stored in the U1RSR.
4. During the receipt of the start bit (and the character LSB for mode = 0) the rate
counter will continue incrementing with the pre-scaled UART1 input clock (PCLK).
5. If Mode = 0 then the rate counter will stop on next falling edge of the UART1 Rx pin. If
Mode = 1 then the rate counter will stop on the next rising edge of the UART1 Rx pin.
6. The rate counter is loaded into U1DLM/U1DLL and the baud-rate will be switched to
normal operation. After setting the U1DLM/U1DLL the end of auto-baud interrupt
U1IIR ABEOInt will be set, if enabled. The U1RSR will now continue receiving the
remaining bits of the ”A/a" character.

TXEN

When this bit is 1, as it is after a Reset, data written to the THR 1
is output on the TXD pin as soon as any preceding data has
been sent. If this bit cleared to 0 while a character is being sent,
the transmission of that character is completed, but no further
characters are sent until this bit is set again. In other words, a 0
in this bit blocks the transfer of characters from the THR or TX
FIFO into the transmit shift register. Software can clear this bit
when it detects that the a hardware-handshaking TX-permit
signal (LPC2144/6/8: CTS - otherwise any GPIO/external
interrupt line) has gone false, or with software handshaking,
when it receives an XOFF character (DC3). Software can set
this bit again when it detects that the TX-permit signal has gone
true, or when it receives an XON (DC1) character.

10.4 Architecture
The architecture of the UART1 is shown below in the block diagram.
The VPB interface provides a communications link between the CPU or host and the
UART1.
The UART1 receiver block, U1RX, monitors the serial input line, RXD1, for valid input. The
UART1 RX Shift Register (U1RSR) accepts valid characters via RXD1. After a valid
character is assembled in the U1RSR, it is passed to the UART1 RX Buffer Register FIFO
to await access by the CPU or host via the generic host interface.
The UART1 transmitter block, U1TX, accepts data written by the CPU or host and buffers
the data in the UART1 TX Holding Register FIFO (U1THR). The UART1 TX Shift Register
(U1TSR) reads the data stored in the U1THR and assembles the data to transmit via the
serial output pin, TXD1.
The UART1 Baud Rate Generator block, U1BRG, generates the timing enables used by
the UART1 TX block. The U1BRG clock input source is the VPB clock (PCLK). The main
clock is divided down per the divisor specified in the U1DLL and U1DLM registers. This
divided down clock is a 16x oversample clock, NBAUDOUT.
The modem interface contains registers U1MCR and U1MSR. This interface is
responsible for handshaking between a modem peripheral and the UART1.
The interrupt interface contains registers U1IER and U1IIR. The interrupt interface
receives several one clock wide enables from the U1TX and U1RX blocks.
Status information from the U1TX and U1RX is stored in the U1LSR. Control information
for the U1TX and U1RX is stored in the U1LCR.

User manual

11.1 Features
• Standard I2C compliant bus interfaces that may be configured as Master, Slave, or
Master/Slave.

• Arbitration between simultaneously transmitting masters without corruption of serial
data on the bus.

• Programmable clock to allow adjustment of I2C transfer rates.
• Bidirectional data transfer between masters and slaves.
• Serial clock synchronization allows devices with different bit rates to communicate via
one serial bus.

• Serial clock synchronization can be used as a handshake mechanism to suspend and
resume serial transfer.

• The I2C-bus may be used for test and diagnostic purposes.

11.2 Applications
Interfaces to external I2C standard parts, such as serial RAMs, LCDs, tone generators,
etc.

11.3 Description
A typical I2C-bus configuration is shown in Figure 24. Depending on the state of the
direction bit (R/W), two types of data transfers are possible on the I2C-bus:

• Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave receiver. The first byte transmitted
by the master is the slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The slave
returns an acknowledge bit after each received byte.

• Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master receiver. The first byte (the slave
address) is transmitted by the master. The slave then returns an acknowledge bit.
Next follows the data bytes transmitted by the slave to the master. The master returns
an acknowledge bit after all received bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the
last received byte, a “not acknowledge” is returned. The master device generates all
of the serial clock pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended
with a STOP condition or with a repeated START condition. Since a repeated START
condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C-bus will not be
released.
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 I2C interfaces are byte oriented, and have four operating modes:
master transmitter mode, master receiver mode, slave transmitter mode and slave
receiver mode.
The I2C interfaces compile with entire I2C specification, supporting the ability to turn
power off to the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 without causing a problem with other devices on the
same I2C-bus (see "The I2C-bus specification" description under the heading
"Fast-Mode", and notes for the table titled "Characteristics of the SDA and SCL I/O stages

11.5 I2C operating modes
In a given application, the I2C block may operate as a master, a slave, or both. In the slave
mode, the I2C hardware looks for its own slave address and the general call address. If
one of these addresses is detected, an interrupt is requested. If the processor wishes to
become the bus master, the hardware waits until the bus is free before the master mode is
entered so that a possible slave operation is not interrupted. If bus arbitration is lost in the
master mode, the I2C block switches to the slave mode immediately and can detect its
own slave address in the same serial transfer.

11.5.1 Master Transmitter mode
In this mode data is transmitted from master to slave. Before the master transmitter mode
can be entered, the I2CONSET register must be initialized as shown in Table 133. I2EN
must be set to 1 to enable the I2C function. If the AA bit is 0, the I2C interface will not

The first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the receiving device (7 bits) and
the data direction bit. In this mode the data direction bit (R/W) should be 0 which means
Write. The first byte transmitted contains the slave address and Write bit. Data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is received.
START and STOP conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the end of a serial
transfer.
The I2C interface will enter master transmitter mode when software sets the STA bit. The
I2C logic will send the START condition as soon as the bus is free. After the START
condition is transmitted, the SI bit is set, and the status code in the I2STAT register is
0x08. This status code is used to vector to a state service routine which will load the slave
address and Write bit to the I2DAT register, and then clear the SI bit. SI is cleared by
writing a 1 to the SIC bit in the I2CONCLR register.
When the slave address and R/W bit have been transmitted and an acknowledgment bit
has been received, the SI bit is set again, and the possible status codes now are 0x18,
0x20, or 0x38 for the master mode, or 0x68, 0x78, or 0xB0 if the slave mode was enabled
(by setting AA to 1). The appropriate actions to be taken for each of these status codes
are shown in Table 148 to Table 151.

11.5.2 Master Receiver mode
In the master receiver mode, data is received from a slave transmitter. The transfer is
initiated in the same way as in the master transmitter mode. When the START condition
has been transmitted, the interrupt service routine must load the slave address and the
data direction bit to the I2C Data register (I2DAT), and then clear the SI bit. In this case,
the data direction bit (R/W) should be 1 to indicate a read.

The first byte is received and handled as in the slave receiver mode. However, in this
mode, the direction bit will be 1, indicating a read operation. Serial data is transmitted via
SDA while the serial clock is input through SCL. START and STOP conditions are
recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. In a given application, I2C may
operate as a master and as a slave. In the slave mode, the I2C hardware looks for its own
slave address and the general call address. If one of these addresses is detected, an
interrupt is requested. When the microcontrollers wishes to become the bus master, the

11.6.2 Address Register, I2ADDR
This register may be loaded with the 7-bit slave address (7 most significant bits) to which
the I2C block will respond when programmed as a slave transmitter or receiver. The LSB
(GC) is used to enable general call address (0x00) recognition.

11.6.3 Comparator
The comparator compares the received 7-bit slave address with its own slave address (7
most significant bits in I2ADR). It also compares the first received 8-bit byte with the
general call address (0x00). If an equality is found, the appropriate status bits are set and
an interrupt is requested.

11.6.4 Shift register, I2DAT
This 8-bit register contains a byte of serial data to be transmitted or a byte which has just
been received. Data in I2DAT is always shifted from right to left; the first bit to be
transmitted is the MSB (bit 7) and, after a byte has been received, the first bit of received
data is located at the MSB of I2DAT. While data is being shifted out, data on the bus is
simultaneously being shifted in; I2DAT always contains the last byte present on the bus.
Thus, in the event of lost arbitration, the transition from master transmitter to slave receiver
is made with the correct data in I2DAT.

11.6.5 Arbitration and synchronization logic
In the master transmitter mode, the arbitration logic checks that every transmitted logic 1
actually appears as a logic 1 on the I2C-bus. If another device on the bus overrules a logic
1 and pulls the SDA line low, arbitration is lost, and the I2C block immediately changes
from master transmitter to slave receiver. The I2C block will continue to output clock pulses
(on SCL) until transmission of the current serial byte is complete.
Arbitration may also be lost in the master receiver mode. Loss of arbitration in this mode
can only occur while the I2C block is returning a “not acknowledge: (logic 1) to the bus.
Arbitration is lost when another device on the bus pulls this signal LOW. Since this can
occur only at the end of a serial byte, the I2C block generates no further clock pulses.
Figure 31 shows the arbitration procedure.

Chapter 11: I2C interfaces

The synchronization logic will synchronize the serial clock generator with the clock pulses
on the SCL line from another device. If two or more master devices generate clock pulses,
the “mark” duration is determined by the device that generates the shortest “marks,” and
the “space” duration is determined by the device that generates the longest “spaces”.
Figure 32 shows the synchronization procedure.

1. Another device pulls the SCL line low before this C has timed a complete high time. The other device

effectively determines the (shorter) high period.

2. Another device continues to pull the SCL line low after thisC has timed a complete low time and released
I
SCL. The I2C clock generator is forced to wait until SCL goes high. The other device effectively determines
the (longer) low period.
3. The SCL line is released and the clock generator begins timing the high time.

Fig 32. Serial clock synchronization

A slave may stretch the space duration to slow down the bus master. The space duration
may also be stretched for handshaking purposes. This can be done after each bit or after
a complete byte transfer. the I2C block will stretch the SCL space duration after a byte has
been transmitted or received and the acknowledge bit has been transferred. The serial
interrupt flag (SI) is set, and the stretching continues until the serial interrupt flag is
cleared.

11.6.6 Serial clock generator
This programmable clock pulse generator provides the SCL clock pulses when the I2C
block is in the master transmitter or master receiver mode. It is switched off when the I2C
block is in a slave mode. The I2C output clock frequency and duty cycle is programmable
via the I2C Clock Control Registers. See the description of the I2CSCLL and I2CSCLH
registers for details. The output clock pulses have a duty cycle as programmed unless the
bus is synchronizing with other SCL clock sources as described above.

11.6.7 Timing and control
The timing and control logic generates the timing and control signals for serial byte
handling. This logic block provides the shift pulses for I2DAT, enables the comparator,
generates and detects start and stop conditions, receives and transmits acknowledge bits,
controls the master and slave modes, contains interrupt request logic, and monitors the
I2C-bus status.

11.6.8 Control register, I2CONSET and I2CONCLR
The I2C control register contains bits used to control the following I2C block functions: start
and restart of a serial transfer, termination of a serial transfer, bit rate, address recognition,
and acknowledgment.

Chapter 11: I2C interfaces

The contents of the I2C control register may be read as I2CONSET. Writing to I2CONSET
will set bits in the I2C control register that correspond to ones in the value written.
Conversely, writing to I2CONCLR will clear bits in the I2C control register that correspond
to ones in the value written.

11.6.9 Status decoder and Status register
The status decoder takes all of the internal status bits and compresses them into a 5-bit
code. This code is unique for each I2C-bus status. The 5-bit code may be used to
generate vector addresses for fast processing of the various service routines. Each
service routine processes a particular bus status. There are 26 possible bus states if all
four modes of the I2C block are used. The 5-bit status code is latched into the five most
significant bits of the status register when the serial interrupt flag is set (by hardware) and
remains stable until the interrupt flag is cleared by software. The three least significant bits
of the status register are always zero. If the status code is used as a vector to service
routines, then the routines are displaced by eight address locations. Eight bytes of code is
sufficient for most of the service routines (see the software example in this section).

11.7 Register description
Each I2C interface contains 7 registers as shown in Table 135 below.

I2EN I2C Interface Enable. When I2EN is 1, the I2C interface is enabled. I2EN can be
cleared by writing 1 to the I2ENC bit in the I2CONCLR register. When I2EN is 0, the I2C
interface is disabled.
When I2EN is “0”, the SDA and SCL input signals are ignored, the I2C block is in the “not
addressed” slave state, and the STO bit is forced to “0”.
I2EN should not be used to temporarily release the I2C-bus since, when I2EN is reset, the
I2C-bus status is lost. The AA flag should be used instead.
STA is the START flag. Setting this bit causes the I2C interface to enter master mode and
transmit a START condition or transmit a repeated START condition if it is already in
master mode.
When STA is 1 and the I2C interface is not already in master mode, it enters master mode,
checks the bus and generates a START condition if the bus is free. If the bus is not free, it
waits for a STOP condition (which will free the bus) and generates a START condition after
a delay of a half clock period of the internal clock generator. If the I2C interface is already
in master mode and data has been transmitted or received, it transmits a repeated START
condition. STA may be set at any time, including when the I2C interface is in an addressed
slave mode.
STA can be cleared by writing 1 to the STAC bit in the I2CONCLR register. When STA is 0,
no START condition or repeated START condition will be generated.
If STA and STO are both set, then a STOP condition is transmitted on the I2C-bus if it the
interface is in master mode, and transmits a START condition thereafter. If the I2C
interface is in slave mode, an internal STOP condition is generated, but is not transmitted
on the bus.

Chapter 11: I2C interfaces

STO is the STOP flag. Setting this bit causes the I2C interface to transmit a STOP
condition in master mode, or recover from an error condition in slave mode. When STO is
1 in master mode, a STOP condition is transmitted on the I2C-bus. When the bus detects
the STOP condition, STO is cleared automatically.
In slave mode, setting this bit can recover from an error condition. In this case, no STOP
condition is transmitted to the bus. The hardware behaves as if a STOP condition has
been received and it switches to “not addressed” slave receiver mode. The STO flag is
cleared by hardware automatically.
SI is the I2C Interrupt Flag. This bit is set when the I2C state changes. However, entering
state F8 does not set SI since there is nothing for an interrupt service routine to do in that
case.
While SI is set, the low period of the serial clock on the SCL line is stretched, and the
serial transfer is suspended. When SCL is high, it is unaffected by the state of the SI flag.
SI must be reset by software, by writing a 1 to the SIC bit in I2CONCLR register.
AA is the Assert Acknowledge Flag. When set to 1, an acknowledge (low level to SDA) will
be returned during the acknowledge clock pulse on the SCL line on the following
situations:
1. The address in the Slave Address Register has been received.
2. The general call address has been received while the general call bit (GC) in I2ADR is
set.
3. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the master receiver mode.
4. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the addressed slave receiver mode
The AA bit can be cleared by writing 1 to the AAC bit in the I2CONCLR register. When AA
is 0, a not acknowledge (high level to SDA) will be returned during the acknowledge clock
pulse on the SCL line on the following situations:
1. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the master receiver mode.
2. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the addressed slave receiver mode.

The I2CONCLR registers control clearing of bits in the I2CON register that controls
operation of the I2C interface. Writing a one to a bit of this register causes the
corresponding bit in the I2C control register to be cleared. Writing a zero has no effect.

11.7.8 Selecting the appropriate I2C data rate and duty cycle
Software must set values for the registers I2SCLH and I2SCLL to select the appropriate
data rate and duty cycle. I2SCLH defines the number of PCLK cycles for the SCL high
time, I2SCLL defines the number of PCLK cycles for the SCL low time. The frequency is
determined by the following formula (PCLK is the frequency of the peripheral bus VPB):
(7)

PCLK
I 2 C bitfrequency = -------------------------------------------------------I2CSCLH + I2CSCLL

The values for I2SCLL and I2SCLH should not necessarily be the same. Software can set
different duty cycles on SCL by setting these two registers. For example, the I2C-bus
specification defines the SCL low time and high time at different values for a 400 kHz I2C
rate. The value of the register must ensure that the data rate is in the I2C data rate range
of 0 through 400 kHz. Each register value must be greater than or equal to 4. Table 143
gives some examples of I2C-bus rates based on PCLK frequency and I2SCLL and
I2SCLH values.

In Figures 33 to 37, circles are used to indicate when the serial interrupt flag is set. The
numbers in the circles show the status code held in the I2STAT register. At these points, a
service routine must be executed to continue or complete the serial transfer. These
service routines are not critical since the serial transfer is suspended until the serial
interrupt flag is cleared by software.
When a serial interrupt routine is entered, the status code in I2STAT is used to branch to
the appropriate service routine. For each status code, the required software action and
details of the following serial transfer are given in tables from Table 148 to Table 152.

11.8.1 Master Transmitter mode
In the master transmitter mode, a number of data bytes are transmitted to a slave receiver
(see Figure 33). Before the master transmitter mode can be entered, I2CON must be
initialized as follows:

The I2C rate must also be configured in the I2SCLL and I2SCLH registers. I2EN must be
set to logic 1 to enable the I2C block. If the AA bit is reset, the I2C block will not
acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address in the event of another
device becoming master of the bus. In other words, if AA is reset, the I2C interface cannot
enter a slave mode. STA, STO, and SI must be reset.
The master transmitter mode may now be entered by setting the STA bit. The I2C logic will
now test the I2C-bus and generate a start condition as soon as the bus becomes free.
When a START condition is transmitted, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set, and the status
code in the status register (I2STAT) will be 0x08. This status code is used by the interrupt
service routine to enter the appropriate state service routine that loads I2DAT with the
slave address and the data direction bit (SLA+W). The SI bit in I2CON must then be reset
before the serial transfer can continue.
When the slave address and the direction bit have been transmitted and an
acknowledgment bit has been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set again, and a
number of status codes in I2STAT are possible. There are 0x18, 0x20, or 0x38 for the
master mode and also 0x68, 0x78, or 0xB0 if the slave mode was enabled (AA = logic 1).
The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 148.
After a repeated start condition (state 0x10). The I2C block may switch to the master
receiver mode by loading I2DAT with SLA+R).

11.8.2 Master Receiver mode
In the master receiver mode, a number of data bytes are received from a slave transmitter
(see Figure 34). The transfer is initialized as in the master transmitter mode. When the
start condition has been transmitted, the interrupt service routine must load I2DAT with the
7-bit slave address and the data direction bit (SLA+R). The SI bit in I2CON must then be
cleared before the serial transfer can continue.
When the slave address and the data direction bit have been transmitted and an
acknowledgment bit has been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set again, and a
number of status codes in I2STAT are possible. These are 0x40, 0x48, or 0x38 for the
master mode and also 0x68, 0x78, or 0xB0 if the slave mode was enabled (AA = 1). The
appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 149. After
a repeated start condition (state 0x10), the I2C block may switch to the master transmitter
mode by loading I2DAT with SLA+W.

In the slave receiver mode, a number of data bytes are received from a master transmitter

The I2C-bus rate settings do not affect the I2C block in the slave mode. I2EN must be set
to logic 1 to enable the I2C block. The AA bit must be set to enable the I2C block to
acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address. STA, STO, and SI must be
reset.
When I2ADR and I2CON have been initialized, the I2C block waits until it is addressed by
its own slave address followed by the data direction bit which must be “0” (W) for the I2C
block to operate in the slave receiver mode. After its own slave address and the W bit have
been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set and a valid status code can be read from
I2STAT. This status code is used to vector to a state service routine. The appropriate
action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 104. The slave
receiver mode may also be entered if arbitration is lost while the I2C block is in the master
mode (see status 0x68 and 0x78).
If the AA bit is reset during a transfer, the I2C block will return a not acknowledge (logic 1)
to SDA after the next received data byte. While AA is reset, the I2C block does not respond
to its own slave address or a general call address. However, the I2C-bus is still monitored
and address recognition may be resumed at any time by setting AA. This means that the
AA bit may be used to temporarily isolate the I2C block from the I2C-bus.

11.8.4 Slave Transmitter mode
In the slave transmitter mode, a number of data bytes are transmitted to a master receiver
(see Figure 36). Data transfer is initialized as in the slave receiver mode. When I2ADR
and I2CON have been initialized, the I2C block waits until it is addressed by its own slave
address followed by the data direction bit which must be “1” (R) for the I2C block to operate
in the slave transmitter mode. After its own slave address and the R bit have been
received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set and a valid status code can be read from
I2STAT. This status code is used to vector to a state service routine, and the appropriate
action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 151. The slave
transmitter mode may also be entered if arbitration is lost while the I2C block is in the
master mode (see state 0xB0).
If the AA bit is reset during a transfer, the I2C block will transmit the last byte of the transfer
and enter state 0xC0 or 0xC8. The I2C block is switched to the not addressed slave mode
and will ignore the master receiver if it continues the transfer. Thus the master receiver
receives all 1s as serial data. While AA is reset, the I2C block does not respond to its own
slave address or a general call address. However, the I2C-bus is still monitored, and
address recognition may be resumed at any time by setting AA. This means that the AA
bit may be used to temporarily isolate the I2C block from the I2C-bus.

11.8.5 Miscellaneous States
There are two I2STAT codes that do not correspond to a defined I2C hardware state (see
Table 152). These are discussed below.

11.8.6 I2STAT = 0xF8
This status code indicates that no relevant information is available because the serial
interrupt flag, SI, is not yet set. This occurs between other states and when the I2C block is
not involved in a serial transfer.

11.8.7 I2STAT = 0x00
This status code indicates that a bus error has occurred during an I2C serial transfer. A
bus error is caused when a START or STOP condition occurs at an illegal position in the
format frame. Examples of such illegal positions are during the serial transfer of an
address byte, a data byte, or an acknowledge bit. A bus error may also be caused when
external interference disturbs the internal I2C block signals. When a bus error occurs, SI is
set. To recover from a bus error, the STO flag must be set and SI must be cleared. This
causes the I2C block to enter the “not addressed” slave mode (a defined state) and to
clear the STO flag (no other bits in I2CON are affected). The SDA and SCL lines are
released (a STOP condition is not transmitted).

Wait or proceed current transfer.

Only the internal hardware is affected in
the MST or addressed SLV modes. In all
cases, the bus is released and the I2C
block is switched to the not addressed
SLV mode. STO is reset.

11.8.8 Some special cases
The I2C hardware has facilities to handle the following special cases that may occur during
a serial transfer:

11.8.9 Simultaneous repeated START conditions from two masters
A repeated START condition may be generated in the master transmitter or master
receiver modes. A special case occurs if another master simultaneously generates a
repeated START condition (see Figure 37). Until this occurs, arbitration is not lost by either
master since they were both transmitting the same data.
If the I2C hardware detects a repeated START condition on the I2C-bus before generating
a repeated START condition itself, it will release the bus, and no interrupt request is
generated. If another master frees the bus by generating a STOP condition, the I2C block
will transmit a normal START condition (state 0x08), and a retry of the total serial data
transfer can commence.

11.8.10 Data transfer after loss of arbitration
Arbitration may be lost in the master transmitter and master receiver modes (see
Figure 31). Loss of arbitration is indicated by the following states in I2STAT; 0x38, 0x68,
0x78, and 0xB0 (see Figure 33 and Figure 34).
If the STA flag in I2CON is set by the routines which service these states, then, if the bus
is free again, a START condition (state 0x08) is transmitted without intervention by the
CPU, and a retry of the total serial transfer can commence.

11.8.11 Forced access to the I2C-bus
In some applications, it may be possible for an uncontrolled source to cause a bus
hang-up. In such situations, the problem may be caused by interference, temporary
interruption of the bus or a temporary short-circuit between SDA and SCL.

If an uncontrolled source generates a superfluous START or masks a STOP condition,
then the I2C-bus stays busy indefinitely. If the STA flag is set and bus access is not
obtained within a reasonable amount of time, then a forced access to the I2C-bus is
possible. This is achieved by setting the STO flag while the STA flag is still set. No STOP
condition is transmitted. The I2C hardware behaves as if a STOP condition was received
and is able to transmit a START condition. The STO flag is cleared by hardware (see
Figure 34).

11.8.12 I2C-bus obstructed by a low level on SCL or SDA
An I2C-bus hang-up occurs if SDA or SCL is pulled LOW by an uncontrolled source. If the
SCL line is obstructed (pulled LOW) by a device on the bus, no further serial transfer is
possible, and the I2C hardware cannot resolve this type of problem. When this occurs, the
problem must be resolved by the device that is pulling the SCL bus line LOW.
If the SDA line is obstructed by another device on the bus (e.g., a slave device out of bit
synchronization), the problem can be solved by transmitting additional clock pulses on the
SCL line (see Figure 39). The I2C hardware transmits additional clock pulses when the
STA flag is set, but no START condition can be generated because the SDA line is pulled
LOW while the I2C-bus is considered free. The I2C hardware attempts to generate a
START condition after every two additional clock pulses on the SCL line. When the SDA
line is eventually released, a normal START condition is transmitted, state 0x08 is entered,
and the serial transfer continues.
If a forced bus access occurs or a repeated START condition is transmitted while SDA is
obstructed (pulled LOW), the I2C hardware performs the same action as described above.
In each case, state 0x08 is entered after a successful START condition is transmitted and
normal serial transfer continues. Note that the CPU is not involved in solving these bus
hang-up problems.

11.8.13 Bus error
A bus error occurs when a START or STOP condition is present at an illegal position in the
format frame. Examples of illegal positions are during the serial transfer of an address
byte, a data bit, or an acknowledge bit.
The I2C hardware only reacts to a bus error when it is involved in a serial transfer either as
a master or an addressed slave. When a bus error is detected, the I2C block immediately
switches to the not addressed slave mode, releases the SDA and SCL lines, sets the
interrupt flag, and loads the status register with 0x00. This status code may be used to
vector to a state service routine which either attempts the aborted serial transfer again or
simply recovers from the error condition as shown in Table 152.

Chapter 11: I2C interfaces

• The 26 state service routines providing support for all four I2C operating modes.
11.8.15 Initialization
In the initialization example, the I2C block is enabled for both master and slave modes. For
each mode, a buffer is used for transmission and reception. The initialization routine
performs the following functions:

• I2ADR is loaded with the part’s own slave address and the general call bit (GC)
• The I2C interrupt enable and interrupt priority bits are set
• The slave mode is enabled by simultaneously setting the I2EN and AA bits in I2CON
and the serial clock frequency (for master modes) is defined by loading CR0 and CR1
in I2CON. The master routines must be started in the main program.
The I2C hardware now begins checking the I2C-bus for its own slave address and general
call. If the general call or the own slave address is detected, an interrupt is requested and
I2STAT is loaded with the appropriate state information.

11.8.16 I2C interrupt service
When the I2C interrupt is entered, I2STAT contains a status code which identifies one of
the 26 state services to be executed.

11.8.17 The State service routines
Each state routine is part of the I2C interrupt routine and handles one of the 26 states.

11.8.18 Adapting State services to an application
The state service examples show the typical actions that must be performed in response
to the 26 I2C state codes. If one or more of the four I2C operating modes are not used, the
associated state services can be omitted, as long as care is taken that the those states
can never occur.
In an application, it may be desirable to implement some kind of timeout during I2C
operations, in order to trap an inoperative bus or a lost service routine.

11.9 Software example
11.9.1 Initialization routine
Example to initialize I2C Interface as a Slave and/or Master.
1. Load I2ADR with own Slave Address, enable general call recognition if needed.
2. Enable I2C interrupt.
3. Write 0x44 to I2CONSET to set the I2EN and AA bits, enabling Slave functions. For
Master only functions, write 0x40 to I2CONSET.

11.9.2 Start Master Transmit function
Begin a Master Transmit operation by setting up the buffer, pointer, and data count, then
initiating a Start.

Single complete and independent SPI controller.
Compliant with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) specification.
Synchronous, Serial, Full Duplex Communication.
Combined SPI master and slave.
Maximum data bit rate of one eighth of the input clock rate.
8 to 16 bits per transfer

12.2 Description
12.2.1 SPI overview
SPI is a full duplex serial interfaces. It can handle multiple masters and slaves being
connected to a given bus. Only a single master and a single slave can communicate on
the interface during a given data transfer. During a data transfer the master always sends
8 to 16 bits of data to the slave, and the slave always sends a byte of data to the master.

12.2.2 SPI data transfers
Figure 40 is a timing diagram that illustrates the four different data transfer formats that
are available with the SPI. This timing diagram illustrates a single 8 bit data transfer. The
first thing you should notice in this timing diagram is that it is divided into three horizontal
parts. The first part describes the SCK and SSEL signals. The second part describes the
MOSI and MISO signals when the CPHA variable is 0. The third part describes the MOSI
and MISO signals when the CPHA variable is 1.
In the first part of the timing diagram, note two points. First, the SPI is illustrated with
CPOL set to both 0 and 1. The second point to note is the activation and de-activation of
the SSEL signal. When CPHA = 1, the SSEL signal will always go inactive between data
transfers. This is not guaranteed when CPHA = 0 (the signal can remain active).

The definition of when an 8 bit transfer starts and stops is dependent on whether a device
is a master or a slave, and the setting of the CPHA variable.
When a device is a master, the start of a transfer is indicated by the master having a byte
of data that is ready to be transmitted. At this point, the master can activate the clock, and
begin the transfer. The transfer ends when the last clock cycle of the transfer is complete.

When a device is a slave, and CPHA is set to 0, the transfer starts when the SSEL signal
goes active, and ends when SSEL goes inactive. When a device is a slave, and CPHA is
set to 1, the transfer starts on the first clock edge when the slave is selected, and ends on
the last clock edge where data is sampled.

12.2.3 General information
There are four registers that control the SPI peripheral. They are described in detail in
Section 12.4 “Register description” on page 175.
The SPI control register contains a number of programmable bits used to control the
function of the SPI block. The settings for this register must be set up prior to a given data
transfer taking place.
The SPI status register contains read only bits that are used to monitor the status of the
SPI interface, including normal functions, and exception conditions. The primary purpose
of this register is to detect completion of a data transfer. This is indicated by the SPIF bit.
The remaining bits in the register are exception condition indicators. These exceptions will
be described later in this section.
The SPI data register is used to provide the transmit and receive data bytes. An internal
shift register in the SPI block logic is used for the actual transmission and reception of the
serial data. Data is written to the SPI data register for the transmit case. There is no buffer
between the data register and the internal shift register. A write to the data register goes
directly into the internal shift register. Therefore, data should only be written to this register
when a transmit is not currently in progress. Read data is buffered. When a transfer is
complete, the receive data is transferred to a single byte data buffer, where it is later read.
A read of the SPI data register returns the value of the read data buffer.
The SPI clock counter register controls the clock rate when the SPI block is in master
mode. This needs to be set prior to a transfer taking place, when the SPI block is a master.
This register has no function when the SPI block is a slave.
The I/Os for this implementation of SPI are standard CMOS I/Os. The open drain SPI
option is not implemented in this design. When a device is set up to be a slave, its I/Os are
only active when it is selected by the SSEL signal being active.

12.2.4 Master operation
The following sequence describes how one should process a data transfer with the SPI
block when it is set up to be the master. This process assumes that any prior data transfer
has already completed.
1. Set the SPI clock counter register to the desired clock rate.
2. Set the SPI control register to the desired settings.
3. Write the data to transmitted to the SPI data register. This write starts the SPI data
transfer.
4. Wait for the SPIF bit in the SPI status register to be set to 1. The SPIF bit will be set
after the last cycle of the SPI data transfer.
5. Read the SPI status register.
6. Read the received data from the SPI data register (optional).
7. Go to step 3 if more data is required to transmit.

Note that a read or write of the SPI data register is required in order to clear the SPIF
status bit. Therefore, if the optional read of the SPI data register does not take place, a
write to this register is required in order to clear the SPIF status bit.

The following sequence describes how one should process a data transfer with the SPI
block when it is set up to be a slave. This process assumes that any prior data transfer has
already completed. It is required that the system clock driving the SPI logic be at least 8X
faster than the SPI.
1. Set the SPI control register to the desired settings.
2. Write the data to transmitted to the SPI data register (optional). Note that this can only
be done when a slave SPI transfer is not in progress.
3. Wait for the SPIF bit in the SPI status register to be set to 1. The SPIF bit will be set
after the last sampling clock edge of the SPI data transfer.
4. Read the SPI status register.
5. Read the received data from the SPI data register (optional).
6. Go to step 2 if more data is required to transmit.
Note that a read or write of the SPI data register is required in order to clear the SPIF
status bit. Therefore, at least one of the optional reads or writes of the SPI data register
must take place, in order to clear the SPIF status bit.

12.2.6 Exception conditions
12.2.7 Read Overrun
A read overrun occurs when the SPI block internal read buffer contains data that has not
been read by the processor, and a new transfer has completed. The read buffer containing
valid data is indicated by the SPIF bit in the status register being active. When a transfer
completes, the SPI block needs to move the received data to the read buffer. If the SPIF
bit is active (the read buffer is full), the new receive data will be lost, and the read overrun
(ROVR) bit in the status register will be activated.

12.2.8 Write Collision
As stated previously, there is no write buffer between the SPI block bus interface, and the
internal shift register. As a result, data must not be written to the SPI data register when a
SPI data transfer is currently in progress. The time frame where data cannot be written to
the SPI data register is from when the transfer starts, until after the status register has
been read when the SPIF status is active. If the SPI data register is written in this time
frame, the write data will be lost, and the write collision (WCOL) bit in the status register
will be activated.

12.2.9 Mode Fault
The SSEL signal must always be inactive when the SPI block is a master. If the SSEL
signal goes active, when the SPI block is a master, this indicates another master has
selected the device to be a slave. This condition is known as a mode fault. When a mode
fault is detected, the mode fault (MODF) bit in the status register will be activated, the SPI
signal drivers will be de-activated, and the SPI mode will be changed to be a slave.

12.2.10 Slave Abort
A slave transfer is considered to be aborted, if the SSEL signal goes inactive before the
transfer is complete. In the event of a slave abort, the transmit and receive data for the
transfer that was in progress are lost, and the slave abort (ABRT) bit in the status register
will be activated.

Pin Description

SCK0

Input/Output

Serial Clock. The SPI is a clock signal used to synchronize the transfer of data across the
SPI interface. The SPI is always driven by the master and received by the slave. The clock is
programmable to be active high or active low. The SPI is only active during a data transfer.
Any other time, it is either in its inactive state, or tri-stated.

SSEL0

Input

Slave Select. The SPI slave select signal is an active low signal that indicates which slave is
currently selected to participate in a data transfer. Each slave has its own unique slave select
signal input. The SSEL must be low before data transactions begin and normally stays low
for the duration of the transaction. If the SSEL signal goes high any time during a data
transfer, the transfer is considered to be aborted. In this event, the slave returns to idle, and
any data that was received is thrown away. There are no other indications of this exception.
This signal is not directly driven by the master. It could be driven by a simple general purpose
I/O under software control.
On the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 (unlike earlier Philips ARM devices) the SSEL0 pin can be
used for a different function when the SPI0 interface is only used in Master mode. For
example, pin hosting the SSEL0 function can be configured as an output digital GPIO
pin and used to select one of the SPI0 slaves.

MISO0

Input/Output

Master In Slave Out. The MISO signal is a unidirectional signal used to transfer serial data
from the slave to the master. When a device is a slave, serial data is output on this signal.
When a device is a master, serial data is input on this signal. When a slave device is not
selected, the slave drives the signal high impedance.

MOSI0

Input/Output

Master Out Slave In. The MOSI signal is a unidirectional signal used to transfer serial data
from the master to the slave. When a device is a master, serial data is output on this signal.
When a device is a slave, serial data is input on this signal.

13.2 Description
The SSP is a Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) controller capable of operation on a SPI,
4-wire SSI, or Microwire bus. It can interact with multiple masters and slaves on the bus.
Only a single master and a single slave can communicate on the bus during a given data
transfer. Data transfers are in principle full duplex, with frames of 4 to 16 bits of data
flowing from the master to the slave and from the slave to the master. In practice it is often
the case that only one of these data flows carries meaningful data.

Serial Clock. SCK/CLK/SK is a clock signal used to
synchronize the transfer of data. It is driven by the master
and received by the slave. When SPI interface is used the
clock is programmable to be active high or active low,
otherwise it is always active high. SCK1 only switches
during a data transfer. Any other time, the SSP either holds
it in its inactive state, or does not drive it (leaves it in high
impedance state).

Slave Select/Frame Sync/Chip Select. When the SSP is a
bus master, it drives this signal from shortly before the start
of serial data, to shortly after the end of serial data, to signify
a data transfer as appropriate for the selected bus and
mode. When the SSP is a bus slave, this signal qualifies the
presence of data from the Master, according to the protocol
in use. When there is just one bus master and one bus
slave, the Frame Sync or Slave Select signal from the
Master can be connected directly to the slave’s
corresponding input. When there is more than one slave on
the bus, further qualification of their Frame Select/Slave
Select inputs will typically be necessary to prevent more
than one slave from responding to a transfer.

For device configured as a master in this mode, CLK and FS are forced LOW, and the
transmit data line DX is tristated whenever the SSP is idle. Once the bottom entry of the
transmit FIFO contains data, FS is pulsed HIGH for one CLK 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 CLK, the MSB of the 4 to 16-bit data frame is
shifted out on the DX pin. Likewise, the MSB of the received data is shifted onto the DR
pin by the off-chip serial slave device.
Both the SSP and the off-chip serial slave device then clock each data bit into their serial
shifter on the falling edge of each CLK. The received data is transferred from the serial
shifter to the receive FIFO on the first rising edge of CLK after the LSB has been latched.

13.3.2 SPI frame format
The SPI interface is a four-wire interface where the SSEL signal behaves as a slave
select. The main feature of the SPI format is that the inactive state and phase of the SCK
signal are programmable through the CPOL and CPHA bits within the SSPCR0 control
register.

13.3.3 Clock Polarity (CPOL) and Clock Phase (CPHA) control
When the CPOL clock polarity control bit is LOW, it produces a steady state low value on
the SCK pin. If the CPOL clock polarity control bit is HIGH, a steady state high value is
placed on the CLK pin when data is not being transferred.

The CPHA 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 CPHA phase control bit is
LOW, data is captured on the first clock edge transition. If the CPHA clock phase control
bit is HIGH, data is captured on the second clock edge transition.

In this configuration, during idle periods:

• The CLK signal is forced LOW
• SSEL is forced HIGH
• The transmit MOSI/MISO pad is in high impedance
If the SSP is enabled and there is valid data within the transmit FIFO, the start of
transmission is signified by the SSEL master signal being driven LOW. This causes slave
data to be enabled onto the MISO input line of the master. Master’s MOSI is enabled.
One half SCK period later, valid master data is transferred to the MOSI pin. Now that both
the master and slave data have been set, the SCK master clock pin goes HIGH after one
further half SCK period.
The data is now captured on the rising and propagated on the falling edges of the SCK
signal.

In the case of a single word transmission, after all bits of the data word have been
transferred, the SSEL line is returned to its idle HIGH state one SCK period after the last
bit has been captured.
However, in the case of continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSEL 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
CPHA bit is logic zero. Therefore the master device must raise the SSEL pin of the slave
device between each data transfer to enable the serial peripheral data write. On
completion of the continuous transfer, the SSEL pin is returned to its idle state one SCK
period after the last bit has been captured.

line is returned to its idle HIGH state one SCK period after the last bit has been captured.
For continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSEL pins 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. In general, for continuous back-to-back transfers the SSEL pin is held
LOW between successive data words and termination is the same as that of the single
word transfer.

Fig 47. Microwire frame format (single transfer)

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 SSP to the
off-chip slave device. During this transmission, no incoming data is received by the SSP.
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:

• The SK signal is forced LOW
• CS is forced HIGH
• The transmit data line SO is arbitrarily forced LOW
A transmission is triggered by writing a control byte to the transmit FIFO.The falling edge
of CS 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 SO pin. CS remains LOW for the duration of the frame
transmission. The SI 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 SK. 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 SSP. Each bit is driven onto SI line on the falling edge of SK. The SSP in turn
latches each bit on the rising edge of SK. At the end of the frame, for single transfers, the
CS signal is pulled HIGH one clock period after the last bit has been latched in the receive
serial shifter, that 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 SK
after the LSB has been latched by the receive shiftier, or when the CS pin goes HIGH.
For continuous transfers, data transmission begins and ends in the same manner as a
single transfer. However, the CS 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 SK, after the LSB of the
frame has been latched into the SSP.

13.3.9 Setup and hold time requirements on CS with respect to SK in
Microwire mode
In the Microwire mode, the SSP slave samples the first bit of receive data on the rising
edge of SK after CS has gone LOW. Masters that drive a free-running SK must ensure
that the CS signal has sufficient setup and hold margins with respect to the rising edge of
SK.
Figure 49 illustrates these setup and hold time requirements. With respect to the SK rising
edge on which the first bit of receive data is to be sampled by the SSP slave, CS must
have a setup of at least two times the period of SK on which the SSP operates. With
respect to the SK rising edge previous to this edge, CS must have a hold of at least one
SK period.

14.1 Introduction
The USB is a 4 wire bus that supports communication between a host and a number (127
max.) of peripherals. The host controller allocates the USB bandwidth to attached devices
through a token based protocol. The bus supports hot plugging, un-plugging and dynamic
configuration of the devices. All transactions are initiated by the host controller.
The host schedules transactions in 1 ms frames. Each frame contains SoF marker and
transactions that transfer data to/from device endpoints. Each device can have a
maximum of 16 logical or 32 physical endpoints. There are 4 types of transfers defined or
the endpoints. The control transfers are used to configure the device. The interrupt
transfers are used for periodic data transfer. The bulk transfers are used when rate of
transfer is not critical. The isochronous transfers have guaranteed delivery time but no
error correction.
The device controller enables 12 Mb/s data exchange with a USB host controller. It
consists of register interface, serial interface engine, endpoint buffer memory and DMA
controller. The serial interface engine decodes the USB data stream and writes data to the
appropriate end point buffer memory. The status of a completed USB transfer or error
condition is indicated via status registers. An interrupt is also generated if enabled. The
DMA controller when enabled transfers data between the endpoint buffer and the USB
RAM.

Chapter 14: USB Device Controller

14.5 Data Flow
USB is a host controlled protocol, i.e., irrespective of whether the data transfer is from the
host to the device or device to the host, transfer sequence is always initiated by the host.
During data transfer from device to the host, the host sends an IN token to the device,
following which the device responds with the data.

14.5.1 Data Flow from USB Host to the Device
The USB device protocol engine receives the serial data from the ATX and converts it into
a parallel data stream. The parallel data is sent to the RAM interface which in turn
transfers the data to the endpoint buffer. The endpoint buffer is implemented as an SRAM
based FIFO. Each realized endpoint will have a reserved space in the RAM. So the total
RAM space required depends on the number of realized endpoints, maximum packet size
of the endpoint and whether the endpoint supports double buffering. Data is written to the
buffers with the header showing how many bytes are valid in the buffer.
For non-isochronous endpoints, when a full data packet is received without any errors, the
endpoint generates a request for data transfer from its FIFO by generating an interrupt to
the system.
Isochronous endpoint will have one packet of data to be transferred in every frame. So the
data transfer has to be synchronized to the USB frame rather than packet arrival. So, for
every 1 ms there will be an interrupt to the system.
The data transfer follows the little endian format. The first byte received from the USB bus
will be available in the least significant byte of the receive data register.

14.5.2 Data Flow from Device to the Host
For data transfer from an endpoint to the host, the host will send an IN token to that
endpoint. If the FIFO corresponding to the endpoint is empty, the device will return a NAK
and will raise an interrupt to the system. On this interrupt the CPU fills a packet of data in
the endpoint FIFO.The next IN token that comes after filling this packet will transfer this
packet to the host.
The data transfer follows the little endian format. The first byte sent on the USB bus will be
the least significant byte of the transmit data register.

14.5.3 Slave Mode Transfer
Slave data transfer is done through the interrupt issued from the USB device to the CPU.
Reception of valid (error-free) data packet in any of the OUT non-isochronous endpoint
buffer generates an interrupt. Upon receiving the interrupt, the software can read the data
using receive length and data registers. When there is no empty buffer (for a given OUT
non-isochronous endpoint), any data arrival generates an interrupt only if Interrupt on
NAK feature for that endpoint type is enabled and the existing interrupt is cleared. For
OUT isochronous endpoints, the data will always be written irrespective of the buffer
status. There will be no interrupt generated specific to OUT isochronous endpoints other
than the frame interrupt.

Chapter 14: USB Device Controller

Similarly, when a packet is successfully transferred to the host from any of IN
non-isochronous endpoint buffer, an interrupt is generated. When there is no data
available in any of the buffers (for a given IN non-isochronous endpoint), a data request
generates an interrupt only if Interrupt on NAK feature for that endpoint type is enabled
and existing interrupt is cleared. Upon receiving the interrupt, the software can load any
data to be sent using transmit length and data registers. For IN isochronous endpoints, the
data available in the buffer will be sent only if the buffer is validated; otherwise, an empty
packet will be sent. Like OUT isochronous endpoints, there will be no interrupt generated
specific to IN isochronous endpoints other than the frame interrupt.

14.5.4 DMA Mode Transfer (LPC2146/8 only)
Under DMA mode operation the USB device will act as a master on the AHB bus and
transfers the data directly from the memory to the endpoint buffer and vice versa. A duplex
channel DMA acts as a AHB master on the bus.
The endpoint 0 of USB (default control endpoint) will receive the setup packet. It will not
be efficient to transfer this data to the USB RAM since the CPU has to decode this
command and respond back to the host. So, this transfer will happen in the slave mode
only.
For each Isochronous endpoint, one packet transfer happens every frame. Hence, the
DMA transfer has to be synchronized to the frame interrupt.
The DMA engine also support Auto Transfer Length Extraction (ATLE) mode for bulk
transfers. In this mode the DMA engine recovers the transfer size from the incoming
packet stream.

14.6 Interfaces
14.6.1 Software Interface
The software interface of the USB device block consists of a register view and the format
definitions for the endpoint descriptors. These two aspects are addressed in the following
sections.

14.6.2 Register Map
The following registers are located in the AHB clock domain. The minimum AHB clock
frequency should be 18 MHz. They can be accessed directly by the CPU. All registers are
32 bit wide and aligned in the word address boundaries.
USB slave mode registers are located in the address region 0xE009 0000 to
0xE009 004C. All unused address in this region reads “DEADABBA”.
DMA related registers are located in the address region 0xE009 0050 to 0xE009 00FC. All
unused address in this region reads invalid data.

14.7 USB Device register definitions
14.7.1 USB Interrupt Status register (USBIntSt - 0xE01F C1C0)
The USB device has three interrupt output lines. The interrupts usb_int_req_Ip and
usb_int_req_hp facilitates transfer of data in slave mode. These two interrupt lines are
provided to allow two different priority (high/low) levels in slave mode transfer. Each of the
individual endpoint interrupts can be routed to either high priority or low priority levels
using corresponding bits in the Endpoint Interrupt Priority register (Section 14.7.11). The
interrupt level is triggered with active high polarity. The external interrupt generation takes
place only if the necessary ‘enable’ bits are set in the Device Interrupt Enable register
(Section 14.7.3). Otherwise, they will be registered only in the status registers. The
usb_int_req_dma is raised when an end_of_transfer or a system error has occurred. DMA
data transfer is not dependent on this interrupt.
The three interrupt output lines are ORed together to reduce the number of interrupt
channels required for the USB device in the vectored interrupt controller. This register
reflects the status of the each interrupt line. The USBIntSt is a read/write register.

USB_need_clock becomes one, it resets to zero 3 ms after the last
frame has been received/sent. A change of this bit from 0 to 1 can wake
up the microcontroller if an activity on the USB bus is selected to wake
up the part from the Power-down mode (see Section 3.5.3 “Interrupt
Wakeup register (INTWAKE - 0xE01F C144)” on page 22 for details).
Also see Section 3.8.8 “PLL and Power-down mode” on page 32 and

14.7.8 USB Endpoint Interrupt Enable register (USBEpIntEn - 0xE009 0034)
Setting bits in this register will cause the corresponding bit in the interrupt status register
to transfer its status to the device interrupt status register. Either the EP_FAST or
EP_SLOW bit will be set depending on the value in the endpoint interrupt priority register.
Setting this bit to 1 implies operating in the slave mode. The USBEpIntEn is a read/write
register.

The corresponding bit in the Endpoint Interrupt Status register
(Section 14.7.7) transfers its status to the Device Interrupt Status register
(Section 14.7.2). Having a bit in the USBEpIntEn set to 1 implies operating
in the slave mode.

14.7.9 USB Endpoint Interrupt Clear register (USBEpIntClr - 0xE009 0038)
Writing a 1 to this bit clears the bit in the endpoint interrupt status register. Writing 0 will
not have any impact. When the endpoint interrupt is cleared from this register, the
hardware will clear the CDFULL bit in the Device Interrupt Status register. On completion
of this action, the CDFULL bit will be set and the Command Data register will have the
status of the endpoint. Endpoint Interrupt register and CDFULL bit of Device Interrupt
status register are related through clearing of interrupts in USB clock domain. Whenever
software attempts to clear a bit of Endpoint Interrupt register, hardware will clear CDFULL
bit before it starts issuing "Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt" command (refer to Section
14.9.11 “Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt (Command: 0x40 - 0x5F, Data: read 1 byte)” on
page 229) and sets the same bit when command data is available for reading. Software
will have to wait for CDFULL bit to be set to '1' (whenever it expects data from hardware)
before it can read Command Data register. Each physical endpoint has its own reserved
bit in this register. The bit field definition is the same as the Endpoint Interrupt Status
Register as shown in Table 172. The USBEpIntClr is a write only register.

Clears the corresponding bit in the Endpoint Interrupt Status register.

Software is allowed to issue clear operation on multiple endpoints as well. Let us take an
example:
Assume bits 5 and 10 of Endpoint Interrupt Status register are to be cleared. The software
can issue Clear operation by writing in Endpoint Interrupt Clear register (with
corresponding bit positions set to '1'). Then hardware will do the following:
1. Clears CDFULL bit of Device Interrupt Status register.

14.7.11 USB Endpoint Interrupt Priority register (USBEpIntPri - 0xE009 0040)
This register determines whether the interrupt has to be routed to the fast interrupt line
(EP_FAST) or to the slow interrupt line (EP_SLOW). If set 1 the interrupt will be routed to
the fast interrupt bit of the device status register. Otherwise it will be routed to the slow
endpoint interrupt bit. Note that routing of multiple endpoints to EP_FAST or EP_SLOW is
possible. The Device Interrupt Priority register may override this register setting. Refer to
Section 14.7.6 “USB Device Interrupt Priority register (USBDevIntPri - 0xE009 002C)” on
page 203 for more details. The USBEpIntPri is a write only register.

14.7.12 USB Realize Endpoint register (USBReEp - 0xE009 0044)
Though fixed-endpoint configuration implements 32 endpoints, it is not a must that all
have to be used. If the endpoint has to be used, it should have buffer space in the
EP_RAM. The EP_RAM space can be optimized by realizing a subset of endpoints. This
is done through programming the Realize Endpoint register. Each physical endpoint has
one bit as shown in Table 196. The USBReEp is a read/write register.

Device will not respond to any tokens to the un-realized endpoint. ‘Configure Device’
command can only enable all realized and enabled endpoints. For details see Section
14.9.2 “Configure Device (Command: 0xD8, Data: write 1 byte)” on page 223.

14.8 EP_RAM requirements
The USB device controller uses dedicated RAM based FIFO (EP_RAM) as an endpoint
buffer. Each endpoint has a reserved space in the EP_RAM. The EP_RAM size
requirement for an endpoint depends on its Maxpacketsize and whether it is double
buffered or not. 32 words of EP_RAM are used by the device for storing the buffer
pointers. The EP_RAM is word aligned but the Maxpacketsize is defined in bytes hence
the RAM depth has to be adjusted to the next word boundary. Also, each buffer has one
word header showing the size of the packet length received.
EP_ RAM size (in words) required for the physical endpoint can be expressed as
EP_RAMsize = ((Maxpacketsize + 3) / 4 + 1) × db_status
where db_status = 1 for single buffered endpoint and 2 for double buffered endpoint.
Since all the realized endpoints occupy EP_RAM space, the total EP_RAM requirement is
N

TotalEPRAMsize = 32 +

∑

epramsize ( n )

n=0

where N is the number of realized endpoints. Total EP_RAM size should not exceed 2048
bytes (2 kB, 0.5 kwords).
EP_RAM can be accessed by 3 sources, which are SIE, DMA engine and CPU. Among
them, CPU has the highest priority followed by the SIE and DMA engine. The DMA engine
has got the lowest priority. Then again, under the above mentioned 3 request sources,
write request has got higher priority than read request. Typically, CPU does single word

read or write accesses, the DMA logic can do 32-byte burst access. The CPU and DMA
engine operates at a higher clock frequency as compared to the SIE engine. The CPU
cycles are valuable and so the CPU is given the highest priority. The CPU clock frequency
is higher than the SIE operating frequency (12 MHz). The SIE will take 32 clock cycles for
a word transfer. In general, this time translates to more than 32 clock cycles of the CPU in
which it can do easily several accesses to the memory.

14.8.1 USB Endpoint Index register (USBEpIn - 0xE009 0048)
Each endpoint has a register carrying the Maxpacket size value for that endpoint.This is in
fact a register array. Hence before writing, this register has to be ‘addressed’ through the
Endpoint Index register. The USBEpIn is a write only register.
The Endpoint Index register will hold the physical endpoint number. Writing into the
Maxpacket size register will set the array element pointed by the Endpoint Index register.

it, the EP_RLZED bit will be set in the Device Interrupt Status register (Section 14.7.2).

software can read this register to determine the number of bytes it has transferred to the
EP_RAM. After each write to the Transmit Data register the hardware will decrement the
contents of the Transmit Packet Length register. For lengths larger than the Maximum
Packet Size, the software should submit data in steps of Maximum Packet Size and the
remaining extra bytes in the last packet. For example, if the Maximum Packet Size is 64
bytes and the data buffer to be transferred is of length 130 bytes, then the software
submits 64 bytes packet twice followed by 2 bytes in the last packet. So, a total of 3
packets are sent on USB. The USBTxPLen is a write only register.

When the software wants to read the data from an endpoint buffer it should make the
Read Enable bit high and should program the LOG_ENDPOINT in the USB control
register. The control logic will first fetch the packet length to the receive packet length
register. The PKT_RDY bit (Table 200) in the Packet Length Register is set along with this.
Also the hardware fills the receive data register with the first word of the packet.
The software can now start reading the Receive Data register (Section 14.8.3). When the
end of packet is reached the Read Enable bit (RD_EN in Table 203) will be disabled by the
control logic and RxENDPKT bit is set in the Device Interrupt Status register. The software
should issue a Clear Buffer (refer to Section 14.9.13 “Clear Buffer (Command: 0xF2, Data:
read 1 byte (optional))” on page 230) command. The endpoint is now ready to accept the
next packet.

this case the data will remain in the EP_RAM. When the Read Enable signal is made high
again for this endpoint, data will be read from the beginning.
For writing data to an endpoint buffer, Write Enable bit (WR_EN in Table 203) should be
made high and software should write to the Transmit Packet Length register
(Section 14.8.6) the number of bytes it is going to send in the packet. It can then write data
continuously in the Transmit Data register.
When the control logic receives the number of bytes programmed in the Transmit Packet
Length register, it will reset the Write Enable bit. The TxENDPKT bit is set in the Device
Interrupt Status register. The software should issue a Validate Buffer (refer to Section
14.9.14 “Validate Buffer (Command: 0xFA, Data: none)” on page 230) command. The
endpoint is now ready to send the packet. If the software resets this bit midway, writing will
start again from the beginning.
A synchronization mechanism is used to transfer data between the two clock domains i.e.
AHB slave clock and the USB bit clock at 12 MHz. This synchronization process takes up
to 5 clock cycles of the slow clock (i.e. 12 MHz) for reading/writing from/to a register
before the next read/write can happen. The AHB HREADY output from the USB device is
driven appropriately to take care of the timing.
Both Read Enable and Write Enable bits can be high at the same time for the same logical
endpoint. The interleaved read and write operation is possible.

14.8.9 USB Command Code register (USBCmdCode - 0xE009 0010)
This register is used for writing the commands. The commands written here will get
propagated to the Protocol Engine and will be executed there. After executing the
command, the register will be empty, and the “CCEMTY” bit of the Interrupt Status register
is set high. See Section 14.9 “Protocol engine command description” on page 222 for
details. The USBCmdCode is a write only register.

This is a read-only register which will carry the data retrieved after executing a command.
When this register is ready, the “CD_FULL” bit of the Device Interrupt Status register is
set. The CPU can poll this bit or enable an interrupt corresponding to this to sense the
arrival of the data.The data is always one-byte wide. See Section 14.9 “Protocol engine
command description” on page 222 for details.

This register is set by the hardware whenever a packet (OUT) or token (IN) is received on
a realized endpoint. It serves as a flag for DMA engine to start the data transfer if the DMA
is enabled for this particular endpoint. Each endpoint has one reserved bit in this register.
Hardware sets this bit when a realized endpoint needs to be serviced through DMA.
Software can read the register content. DMA cannot be enabled for control endpoints
(EP0 and EP1). For easy readability the control endpoint is shown in the register contents.

The software should not clear the DMA request clear bit while the DMA operation is in
progress. But if at all the clearing happens, the behavior of DMA engine will depend on at
what time the clearing is done. There can be more than one DMA requests pending at any
given time. The DMA engine processes these requests serially (i.e starting from EP2 to
EP31). If the DMA request for a particular endpoint is cleared before DMA operation has
started for that request, then the DMA engine will never know about the request and no
DMA operation on that endpoint will be done (till the next request appears). On the other
hand, if the DMA request for a particular endpoint is cleared after the DMA operation
corresponding to that request has begun, it does not matter even if the request is cleared,
since the DMA engine has registered the endpoint number internally and will not sample
the same request before finishing the current DMA operation.

The DMA Request Set register is normally used for the test purpose. It is also useful in the
normal operation mode to avoid a "lock" situation if the DMA is programmed after that the
USB packets are already received. Normally the arrival of a packet generates an interrupt
when it is completely received. This interrupt is used by the DMA to start working. This
works fine as long as the DMA is programmed before the arrival of the packet (2 packets if double buffered). If the DMA is programmed "too late", the interrupts were already
generated in slave mode (but not handled because the intention was to use the DMA) and
when the DMA is programmed no interrupts are generated to "activate" it. In this case the
usage of the DMA Request Set register is useful to manually start the DMA transfer.

14.8.14 USB UDCA Head register (USBUDCAH - 0xE009 0080)
The UDCA (USB Device Communication Area) Head register maintains the address
where UDCA is allocated in the USB RAM (Figure 52). The USB RAM is part of the
system memory which is used for the USB purposes. It is located at address
0x7FD0 0000 and is 8 kB in size. Note, however, DMA on endpoint 0 is not feasible. The
UDCA has to be aligned to 128 - byte boundary and should be of size 128 bytes (32
words that correspond to 32 physical endpoints). Each word can point to a DMA
descriptor of a physical endpoint or can point to NULL (i.e. zero value) when the endpoint
is not enabled for DMA operation. This implies that the DMA descriptors need to be
created only for the DMA enabled endpoints. Gaps can be there while realizing the
endpoints and there is no need to keep dummy DMA descriptors. The DMA engine will not
process the descriptors of the DMA disabled endpoints. The reset value for this register is
0. Refer to Section 14.10 “DMA descriptor” on page 230 and Section 14.11 “DMA
operation” on page 234 for more details on DMA descriptors. The USBUDCAH is a
read/write register.

14.8.15 USB EP DMA Status register (USBEpDMASt - 0xE009 0084)
This register indicates whether the DMA for a particular endpoint is enabled or disabled.
Each endpoint has one bit assigned in the EP DMA Status register. Bit 0 corresponds to
endpoint 0 and Bit 31 to endpoint 15 IN). DMA transfer for a specific endpoint can start
only if its bit is set in the USBEpDMASt register. Hence, it is referred as DMA_ENABLE
bit. If the bit in the EP DMA Status register is made 0 (by writing into EP DMA Disable
register) in between a packet transfer, the current packet transfer will still be completed.
After the current packet, DMA gets disabled. In other words, the packet transfer when
started will end unless an error condition occurs. When error condition is detected the bit
will be reset by the hardware. The USBEpDMASt is a read only register.

protocol engine commands.
Here is an example of the Read Current Frame Number command (reading 2 bytes):
USBDevIntClr = 0x30;
//
USBCmdCode = 0x00F50500;
while (!(USBDevIntSt & 0x10)); //
USBDevIntClr = 0x10;

14.9.1 Set Address (Command: 0xD0, Data: write 1 byte)
The Set Address command is used to set the USB assigned address and enable the
(embedded) function. The address set in the device will take effect after the status phase
of the setup token. (Alternately, issuing the Set Address command twice will set the
address in the device). At power on reset, the DEV_EN is set to 0. After bus reset, the
address is reset to 0x00. The enable bit is set to 1. The device will respond on packets for
function address 0x00, endpoint 0 (default endpoint).

14.9.4 Read Current Frame Number (Command: 0xF5, Data: read 1 or 2
bytes)
Returns the frame number of the last successfully received SOF. The frame number is
eleven bits wide. The frame number returns least significant byte first. In case the user is
only interested in the lower 8 bits of the frame number, only the first byte needs to be read.

• In case no SOF was received by the device at the beginning of a frame, the frame
number returned is that of the last successfully received SOF.

• In case the SOF frame number contained a CRC error, the frame number returned will
be the corrupted frame number as received by the device.

14.9.5 Read Test Register (Command: 0xFD, Data: read 2 bytes)

Commands 0x40 to 0x5F are identical to their Select Endpoint equivalents, with the
following differences:

• They clear the associated interrupt in the USB clock domain only.
• In case of a control out endpoint, they clear the setup and over-written bits
• Reading one byte is obligatory.
14.9.12 Set Endpoint Status (Command: 0x40 - 0x55, Data: write 1 byte
(optional))
The Set Endpoint Status command sets status bits ‘7:5’ and 0 of the endpoint. The
Command Code of Set Endpoint Status is equal to the sum of 0x40 and the physical
endpoint number in hex value. Not all bits can be set for all types of endpoints.

value

Stalled endpoint bit. A Stalled control endpoint is automatically
Unstalled when it receives a SETUP token, regardless of the
content of the packet. If the endpoint should stay in its stalled
state, the CPU can un-stall it.

0

When a stalled endpoint is unstalled - either by the Set Endpoint
Status command or by receiving a SETUP token - it is also
re-initialized. This flushes the buffer: in case of an OUT buffer it
waits for a DATA 0 PID; in case of an IN buffer it writes a DATA 0
PID. There is no change on the interrupt status of the endpoint.
Even when unstalled, setting the stalled bit to 0 initializes the
endpoint. When an endpoint is stalled by the Set Endpoint
Status command it is also re-initialized.
The command to set the conditional stall bit will be ignored if the
‘Setup Packet’ bit is set (the EP will not be reset and no status
bits will change).

14.9.13 Clear Buffer (Command: 0xF2, Data: read 1 byte (optional))
When a packet sent by the host has been received successfully, an internal Endpoint
Buffer Full flag is set. All subsequent packets will be refused by returning a NAK. When
the CPU has read the data, it should free the buffer by the Clear Buffer command. When
the buffer is cleared, new packets will be accepted.
When bit 0 of the optional data byte is 1, the previously received packet was over-written
by a SETUP packet. The Packet overwritten bit is used only in control transfers. According
to the USB specification, SETUP packet should be accepted irrespective of the buffer
status. The software should always check the status of the PO bit after reading the
SETUP data. If it is set then it should discard the previously read data, clear the PO bit by
issuing a Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt command, read the new SETUP data and again
check the status of the PO bit.

14.9.14 Validate Buffer (Command: 0xFA, Data: none)
When the CPU has written data into an IN buffer, it should set the buffer full flag by the
Validate Buffer command. This indicates that the data in the buffer is valid and can be sent
to the host when the next IN token is received.
A control IN buffer cannot be validated when the Packet Over-written bit of its
corresponding OUT buffer is set or when the Set up packet is pending in the buffer. For the
control endpoint the validated buffer will be invalidated when a Setup packet is received.

14.10 DMA descriptor
A DMA transfer can be characterized by a structure describing these parameters. This
structure is called the DMA Descriptor (DD).
The DMA descriptors are placed in the USB RAM. These descriptors can be located
anywhere in the USB RAM in the wordaligned boundaries. USB RAM is part of the system
memory which is used for the USB purposes. It is located at address 0x7FD0 0000 and is
8192 bytes (8 kB) in size.
DD for non-isochronous endpoints are four-word long and isochronous endpoints are
five-word long.
Total USB RAM required for DD is:
Total_USBDDRAM = (No.of_non-ISOendpoints × 4 + No.of_ISOendpoints × 5)

Chapter 14: USB Device Controller

14.10.2 DMA_mode
Defines in which mode the DMA has to operate. Two modes have been defined, Normal
and ATLE. In the normal mode the DMA engine will not split a packet into two different
DMA buffers. In the ATLE mode splitting of the packet into two buffers can happen. This is
because two transfers can be concatenated in the packet to improve the bandwidth. See
Section 14.13 “Concatenated transfer (ATLE) mode operation” on page 236 for more
details.

14.10.3 Next_DD_valid
This bit indicates whether the software has prepared the next DMA descriptor. If it is valid,
the DMA engine once finished with the current descriptor will load the new descriptor.

14.10.4 Isochronous_endpoint
The descriptor belongs to an isochronous endpoint. Hence, 5 words have to be read.

14.10.5 Max_packet_size
The maximum packet size of the endpoint. This parameter has to be used while
transferring the data for IN endpoints from the memory. It is used for OUT endpoints to
detect the short packet. This is applicable to non-isochronous endpoints only. The
max_packet_size field should be the same as the value set in the MaxPacketSize register
for the endpoint.

14.10.6 DMA_buffer_length
This indicates the depth of the DMA buffer allocated for transferring the data. The DMA
engine will stop using this descriptor when this limit is reached and will look for the next
descriptor. This will be set by the software in the normal mode operation for both IN and
OUT endpoints.In the ATLE mode operation the buffer_length is set by software for IN
endpoints. For OUT endpoints this is set by the hardware from the extracted length of the
data stream. In case of the Isochronous endpoints the DMA_buffer_length is specified in
terms of number of packets.

14.10.7 DMA_buffer_start_addr
The address from where the data has to be picked up or to be stored. This field is updated
packet-wise by DMA engine.

14.10.8 DD_retired
This bit is set when the DMA engine finishes the current descriptor. This will happen when
the end of the buffer is reached or a short packet is transferred (no isochronous endpoints)
or an error condition is detected.

14.10.9 DD_status
The status of the DMA transfer is encoded in this field. The following status are defined:

• Not serviced - No packet has been transferred yet. DD is in the initial position itself.
• Being serviced - This status indicates that at least one packet is transferred.

• Normal completion - The DD is retired because the end of the buffer is reached and
there were no errors. DD_retired bit also is set.

• Data under run - Before reaching the end of the buffer, transfer is terminated
because a short packet is received. DD_retired bit also is set.

• Data over run - End of the DMA buffer is reached in the middle of a packet transfer.
This is an error situation. DD_retired bit will be set. The DMA count will show the value
of DMA buffer length. The packet has to be re-transmitted from the FIFO.
DMA_ENABLE bit is reset.

• System error - Transfer is terminated because of an error in the system bus.
DD_retired bit is not set in this case. DMA_ENABLE bit is reset. Since system error
can happen while updating the DD, the DD fields in the USB RAM may not be very
reliable.

14.10.10 Packet_valid
This bit indicates whether the last packet transferred to the memory is received with errors
or not. This bit will be set if the packet is valid, i.e., it was received without errors. Since
non-isochronous endpoint will not generate DMA request for packet with errors, this field
will not make much sense to them as it will be set for all packets transferred. But for
isochronous endpoints this information is useful. See Section 14.14 “Isochronous
Endpoint Operation” on page 240 for isochronous endpoint operation.

14.10.11 LS_byte_extracted
Applicable only in the ATLE mode. This bit set indicates that the Least Significant Byte
(LSB) of the transfer length has been already extracted. The extracted size will be
reflected in the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field in the bits 23:16.

14.10.12 MS_byte_extracted
Applicable only in the ATLE mode. This bit set indicates that the Most Significant Byte
(MSB) of the transfer size has been already extracted. The size extracted will be reflected
in the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field at 31:24. Extraction stops when ‘LS_Byte_extracted’ and
‘MS_byte_extracted’ fields are set.

14.10.13 Present_DMA_count
The number of bytes transferred by the DMA engine at any point of time. This is updated
packet-wise by the DMA engine when it updates the descriptor. In case of the Isochronous
endpoints the Present_DMA_count is specified in terms of number of packets transferred.

14.10.14 Message_length_position
This applies only in the ATLE mode. This field gives the offset of the message length
position embedded in the packet. This is applicable only for OUT endpoints. Offset 0
indicates that the message length starts from the first byte of the packet onwards.

14.10.15 Isochronous_packetsize_memory_address
The memory buffer address where the packet size information along with the frame
number has to be transferred or fetched. See Figure 55. This is applicable to isochronous
endpoints only.

14.11 DMA operation
14.11.1 Triggering the DMA engine
An endpoint will raise a DMA request when the slave mode transfer is disabled by setting
the corresponding bit in Endpoint Interrupt Enable register to 0 (Section 14.7.8).
The DMA transfer for an OUT endpoint is triggered when it receives a packet without any
errors (i.e., the buffer is full) and the DMA_ENABLE (Section 14.8.15 “USB EP DMA
Status register (USBEpDMASt - 0xE009 0084)”) bit is set for this endpoint.
Transfer for an IN endpoint is triggered when the host requests for a packet of data and
the DMA_ENABLE bit is set for this endpoint.
In DMA mode, the bits corresponding to Interrupt on NAK for Bulk OUT and Interrupt OUT
endpoints (bit INAK_BO and INAK_IO) in Set Mode register (Section 14.9.3 “Set Mode
(Command: 0xF3, Data: write 1 byte)”) should be reset to 0.

14.11.2 Arbitration between endpoints
If more than one endpoint is requests for data transfer at the same time the endpoint with
lower physical endpoint number value gets the priority.

14.12 Non Isochronous Endpoints - Normal Mode operation
14.12.1 Setting up DMA transfer
The software prepares the DDs for the physical endpoints that need DMA transfer. These
DDs are present in the USB RAM. Also, the start address of the first DD is programmed
into the DDP location for the corresponding endpoint. The software will then set the
DMA_ENABLE bit for this endpoint in the EP DMA Status register (Section 14.8.15).The
‘dma_mode’ bits in the descriptor has to be set to ‘00’ for normal mode operation. It should
also initialize all the bits in the DD as given in the table.

14.12.2 Finding DMA Descriptor
When there is a trigger for a DMA transfer for an endpoint, DMA engine will first determine
whether a new descriptor has to the fetched or not. A new descriptor need not have to be
fetched if the last transfer was also made for the same endpoint and the DD is not yet in
the ‘retired’ state. A flag called ‘DMA_PROCEED’ is used to identify this (see Section
14.12.4 “Optimizing Descriptor Fetch” on page 235).
If a new descriptor has to be read, the DMA engine will calculate the location of the DDP
for this endpoint and will fetch the start address of DD from this location. A DD start
address at location zero is considered invalid. In this case a ‘new_dd_request’ interrupt is
raised. All other word boundaries are valid.
At any point of time if the DD is to be fetched, the status of DD (word 3) is read first and
the status of the ‘DD_retired’ bit is checked. If this is not set, DDP points to a valid DD. If
the ‘DD_retired’ bit is set, the DMA engine will read the ‘control’ field (word 1) of the DD.
If the bit ‘next_DD_valid’ bit’ is set, the DMA engine will fetch the ‘next_dd_pointer’ field
(word 0) of the DD and load it to the DDP. The new DDP is written to the UDCA area.

The full DMA descriptor (4 words) will in turn be fetched from this address pointed by DDP.
The DD will give the details of the transfer to be done. The DMA engine will load its
hardware resources with the information fetched from the DD (start address, DMA count
etc.).
If the ‘next_dd_valid’ is not set and the DD_retired bit is set the DMA engine will raise the
‘NEW_DD_REQUEST’ interrupt for this endpoint. It also disables the DMA_ENABLE bit.

14.12.3 Transferring the Data
In case of OUT endpoints, the current packet will be read from the EP_RAM by the DMA
Engine and will get transferred to the USB RAM memory locations starting from the
address pointed by ‘dma_buffer_start_addr’. In case of IN endpoints, the data will be
fetched from the USB RAM and will be written to the EP_RAM. The
‘dma_buffer_start_addr’ and ‘present_dma_count’ will get updated while the transfer
progresses.

14.12.4 Optimizing Descriptor Fetch
A DMA transfer normally involves multiple packet transfers. If a DD once fetched is
equipped to do multiple transfers, the hardware will not fetch DD for all the succeeding
packets. It will do the fetching only if the previous packet transferred on this channel does
not belong to this endpoint. This is on the assumption that the current contents of the
hardware resource and that of the descriptor to be fetched will be the same. In such a
case DMA engine can proceed without fetching the new descriptor if it has not transferred
enough data specified in the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field of the descriptor. To keep this
information the hardware will have a flag set called ‘DMA_PROCEED’.
This flag will be reset after the required number of bytes specified in the
‘dma_buffer_length’ field is transferred. It is also reset when the software writes into the
EP DMA Disable register. This will give the software control over the reading of DD by the
hardware. Hardware will be forced to read the DD for the next packet. Writing data 0x0
into the EP DMA Disable register will cause only resetting of the DMA_PROCEED flag
without disabling DMA for any endpoint.

14.12.5 Ending the packet transfer
The DMA engine will write back the DD with an updated status to the same memory
location from where it was read. The ‘dma_buffer_start_addr’, ‘present_dma_count’ and
the status bits field in the DD gets updated. Only words 2 and 3 are updated by hardware
in this mode.
A DD can have the following types of completion:
Normal completion - If the current packet is fully transferred and the ‘dma_count’ field
equals the ‘dma_buffer_length’ defined in the descriptor, the DD has a normal
completion. The DD will be written back to memory with ‘DD_retired’ bit set.
END_OF_TRANSFER interrupt is raised for this endpoint. DD_Status bits are updated
for ‘normal_completion’ code.
Transfer end completion - If the current packet is fully transferred and its size is less
than the ‘max_packet_size’ defined in the descriptor, and the end of the buffer is still not
reached the transfer end completion occurs. The DD will be written back to the memory
with ‘DD_retired’ bit set and DD_Status bits showing ‘data under run’ completion code.
Also, the ‘END_OF_TRANSFER’ interrupt for this endpoint is raised.
Error completion - If the current packet is partially transferred i.e. end of the DMA
buffer is reached in the middle of the packet transfer, an error situation occurs. The DD
is written back with DD_status ‘data over run’ and ‘DD_retired’ bit is set. The DMA
engine will raise the end of transfer interrupt and resets the corresponding bit for this
endpoint in the ‘DMA_ENABLE’ register. This packet will be retransmitted to the
memory fully when DMA_ENABLE bit is set again.

14.12.6 No_Packet DD
For IN transfers, it can happen that for a request, the system does not have any data to
send for a long time. The system can suppress this request by programming a no_packet
DD. This is done by setting the ‘Maxpacketsize’ and ‘dma_buffer_length’ in the DD control
field to 0. No packets will be sent to the host in response to the no_packet DD.

14.13 Concatenated transfer (ATLE) mode operation
Some host drivers like ‘NDIS’ (Network Driver Interface Standard) are capable of
concatenating small transfers (delta transfers) to form a single large transfer. The device
hardware should be able to break up this single transfer back into delta transfers and
transfer them to different DMA buffers. This is achieved in the ATLE mode operation. This
is applicable only for Bulk endpoints.
In ATLE mode, the Host driver can concatenate various transfer lengths, which
correspond to different DMA descriptors on Device side. And these transfers have to be
done on USB without breaking the packet. This is the primary difference between the
Normal Mode of DMA operation and ATLE mode, wherein one DMA transfer length ends
with either a full USB packet or a short packet and next DMA transfer length starts with a
new USB packet in Normal mode, but these two transfers may be concatenated in the last
USB packet of the first DMA transfer in ATLE mode.

Fig 54. Data transfer in ATLE mode

Figure 54 shows a typical OUT transfer, where the host concatenates two DMA transfer
lengths of 160 bytes and 100 bytes respectively. As seen on USB, there would be four
packets of 64 bytes (MPS = 64) and a short packet of 4 bytes in ATLE mode unlike Normal
mode with five packets of 64, 64, 32, 64, 36 bytes in the given order.
It is now responsibility of the DMA engine to separate these two transfers and put them in
proper memory locations as pointed by the "DMA_buffer_start_address" field of DMA
Descriptor 1 (DD1) and DMA Descriptor 2 (DD2).
There are two things in OUT transfer of ATLE mode, which differentiate it from the OUT
transfer in Normal mode of DMA operation. The first one is that the Device software does
not know the "DMA_buffer_length" of the incoming transfer and hence this field in DD is
programmed to 0. But by the NDIS protocol, device driver does know at which location in
the incoming data transfer, will the transfer length be stored. This value is programmed in
the field "Message_length_position" of the DD.
It is responsibility of the hardware to read the two byte wide "DMA_buffer_length" at the
offset (from start of transfer) specified by "Message_length_position", from incoming data
and write it in "DMA_buffer_length" field of the DD. Once this information is extracted from
the incoming data and updated in the DD, the transfer continues as in Normal mode of
operation.
It may happen that the message length position points to the last byte in the USB packet,
which means that out of two bytes of buffer length, first (LS) byte is available in the current
packet, and the second (MS) byte would follow in the next packet. To deal with such
situations, the flags "LS_byte_extracted" and "MS_byte_extracted" are used by hardware.
When the hardware reads the LS byte (which is the last byte of USB packet), it writes the
contents of LS byte in position (23:16) of "DMA_buffer_length" field, sets the flag
"LS_byte_extracted" to 1 and updates the DD in System memory (since the packet
transfer is over).

Volume 1

Chapter 14: USB Device Controller

On reception of the next packet, looking at "LS_byte_extracted" field 1 and
"MS_byte_extracted" field 0, hardware knows that it has to read the first incoming byte as
MS byte of buffer length, update the position (31:24) of "DMA_buffer_length" with the read
contents and set the flag "MS_byte_extracted". After the extraction of MS byte of DMA
buffer length, the transfer continues as in Normal mode of operation.
The second thing, which differentiates the ATLE mode OUT transfer from Normal mode
OUT transfer, is the behavior in case when DD is retired in between a USB packet
transfer.
As can be seen in the figure earlier, the first 32 bytes of the 3rd packet correspond to DD1
and the remaining 32 bytes correspond to DD2. In such a situation, on reception of first 32
bytes, the first DD (i.e. DD1) is retired and updated in the system memory, the new DD
(pointed by "next_DD_pointer") is fetched and the remaining 32 bytes are transferred to
the location in system memory pointed by "DMA_buffer_start_address" of new DD (i.e.
DD2).
It should be noted that in ATLE mode, the software will always program the
"LS_byte_extracted" and "MS_byte_extracted" fields to 0 while preparing a DD, and hence
on fetching the DD2 in above situation, the Buffer Length Extraction process will start
again as described earlier.
In case if the first DD is retired in between the packet transfer and the next DD is not
programmed, i.e. "next_DD_valid" field in DD1 is 0, then the first DD is retired with the
status "data over run" (DD_status = 1000), which has to be treated as an err or condition
and the DMA channel for that particular endpoint is disabled by the hardware. Otherwise
the first DD is retired with status "normal completion" (DD_status = 0010).
Please note that in this mode the last buffer length to be transferred would always end with
a short packet or empty packet indicating that no more concatenated data is coming on
the way. If the concatenated transfer lengths are such that the last transfer ends on a
packet boundary, the (NDIS) host will send an empty packet to mark the End Of Transfer.
IN Transfer in ATLE mode
The operation in IN transfers is relatively simple than the OUT transfer in ATLE mode
since device software knows the buffer length to be transferred and it is programmed in
"DMA_buffer_length" field while preparing the DD, thus avoiding any transfer length
extraction mechanism.
The only difference for IN transfers between ATLE mode and Normal mode of DMA
operation is that the DDs can get retired in the middle of the USB packet transfer. In such
a case, the hardware will update the first DD in system memory, fetch the new DD pointed
by "next_DD_pointer" field of the first DD and fetch the remaining bytes from system
memory pointed by "DMA_buffer_start_address" of second DD to complete the packet
before sending it on USB.
In the above situation, if the next DD is not programmed, i.e. "next_DD_valid" field in DD is
0, and the buffer length for current DD has completed before the packet boundary, then
the available bytes from current DD are sent as a short packet on USB, which marks the
End Of Transfer for the Host.

Chapter 14: USB Device Controller

In cases, where the intended buffer lengths are already transferred and the last buffer
length has completed on the USB packet boundary, it is responsibility of Device software
to program the next DD with "DMA_buffer_length" field 0, after which an empty packet is
sent on USB by the hardware to mark the End Of Transfer for the Host.

14.13.1 Setting up the DMA transfer
There is an additional field in the descriptor called ‘message_length_position’ which has
to be set for the OUT endpoints.This indicates the start location of the message length in
the incoming data packet. Also the software will set the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field to ‘0’ for
OUT endpoints as this field has to be updated by hardware.
For IN endpoints, descriptors are to be set in the same way as the normal mode operation.
Since a single packet can have two transfers which has to be transferred or collected from
different DMA buffers, the software should keep two buffers ready always, except for the
last delta transfer which ends with a short packet.

14.13.2 Finding the DMA Descriptor
DMA descriptors are found in the same way as the normal mode operation.

14.13.3 Transferring the Data
For OUT end points if the ‘LS_byte_extracted’ or ‘MS_byte_extracted’ bit in the status field
is not set, the hardware will extract the transfer length from the data stream.
‘dma_buffer_length’ field is derived from this information which is 2 bytes long. Once the
extraction is complete both the ‘LS_byte_extracted’ and ‘MS_byte_extracted’ bits will be
set.
For IN endpoints transfer proceeds like the normal mode and continues till the number of
bytes transferred equals the ‘dma_buffer_length’.

14.13.4 Ending the packet transfer
DMA engine proceeds with the transfer till the number of bytes specified in the field
‘dma_buffer_length’ gets transferred to or from the USB RAM. END_OF_TRANSFER
interrupt will be generated. If this happens in the middle of the packet, the linked DD will
get loaded and the remaining part of the packet gets transferred to or from the address
pointed by the new DD.
For an OUT endpoint if the linked DD is not valid and the packet is partially transferred to
memory, the DD ends with data_over_run status set and DMA will be disabled for this
endpoint. Otherwise DD_status will be updated with ‘normal completion’.
For an IN endpoint if the linked DD is not valid and the packet is partially transferred to
USB, DD ends with ‘normal completion’ and the packet will be sent as a short packet
(since this situation is the end of transfer). Also, when the linked DD is valid and buffer
length is 0, a short packet will be sent.

14.14 Isochronous Endpoint Operation
In case of isochronous endpoint operation the packet size can vary on each and every
packet. There will be one packet per isochronous endpoint at every frame.

14.14.1 Setting up of DMA transfer
For Isochronous DMA descriptor the DMA length is set in terms of the number of frames
the transfer is to be made rather than the number of bytes. The DMA count is also updated
in terms of the number of frames.

14.14.2 Finding the DMA Descriptor
Finding the descriptor is done in the same way as that for a non isochronous endpoint.
DMA descriptor has a bit field in the word 1 (isochronous_endpoint) to indicate that the
descriptor belongs to an isochronous endpoint. Also, isochronous DD has a fifth word
showing where the packet length for the frame has to be put (for OUT endpoint) or from
where it has to be read.
DMA request will be placed for DMA enabled isochronous endpoints on every frame
interrupt. For a DMA request the DMA engine will fetch the descriptor and if it identifies
that the descriptor belongs to an Isochronous endpoint, it will fetch the fifth word of the DD
which will give the location from where the packet length has to be placed or fetched.

14.14.3 Transferring the Data
The data is transferred to or from the memory location pointed by the
dma_buffer_start_addr. After the end of the packet transfer the dma_count value is
incremented by 1.
For an OUT transfer a word is formed by combining the frame number and the packet
length such that the packet length appears at the least significant 2 bytes (15 to 0). Bit 16
shows whether the packet is valid or not (set when packet is valid i.e. it was received
without any errors). The frame number appears in the most significant 2 bytes (bit 31 to
17). The frame number is available from the USB device. This word is then transferred to
the address location pointed by the variable Isochronous_packet_size_memory_address.
The Isochronous_packet_size_memory_address is incremented by 4 after receiving or
transmitting an Isochronous data packet. The Isochronous_packet_size memory buffer
should be big enough to hold information of all packets sent by the host.
For an IN endpoint only the bits from 15 to 0 are applicable. An Isochronous data packet of
size specified by this field is transferred from the USB device to the Host in each frame. If
the size programmed in this location is zero an empty packet will be sent by the USB
device.
The Isochronous endpoint works only in the normal mode DMA operation.
An Isochronous endpoint can have only ‘normal completion’ since there is no short packet
on Isochronous endpoint and the transfer continues infinitely till a system error occurs.
Also, there is no data_over_run detection.

Output

External Match Output 0/1- When a match register 0/1 (MR3:0) equals
the timer counter (TC) this output can either toggle, go low, go high, or
do nothing. The External Match Register (EMR) controls the
functionality of this output. Match Output functionality can be selected
on a number of pins in parallel. It is also possible for example, to have
2 pins selected at the same time so that they provide MAT1.3 function
in parallel.

The Interrupt Register consists of four bits for the match interrupts and four bits for the
capture interrupts. If an interrupt is generated then the corresponding bit in the IR will be
high. Otherwise, the bit will be low. Writing a logic one to the corresponding IR bit will reset
the interrupt. Writing a zero has no effect.

15.5.3 Count Control Register (CTCR, TIMER0: T0CTCR - 0xE000 4070 and
TIMER1: T1TCR - 0xE000 8070)
The Count Control Register (CTCR) is used to select between Timer and Counter mode,
and in Counter mode to select the pin and edge(s) for counting.
When Counter Mode is chosen as a mode of operation, the CAP input (selected by the
CTCR bits 3:2) is sampled on every rising edge of the PCLK clock. After comparing two
consecutive samples of this CAP input, one of the following four events is recognized:
rising edge, falling edge, either of edges or no changes in the level of the selected CAP
input. Only if the identified event corresponds to the one selected by bits 1:0 in the CTCR
register, the Timer Counter register will be incremented.
Effective processing of the externally supplied clock to the counter has some limitations.
Since two successive rising edges of the PCLK clock are used to identify only one edge
on the CAP selected input, the frequency of the CAP input can not exceed one half of the
PCLK clock. Consequently, duration of the high/low levels on the same CAP input in this
case can not be shorter than 1/PCLK.

15.5.4 Timer Counter (TC, TIMER0: T0TC - 0xE000 4008 and TIMER1:
T1TC - 0xE000 8008)
The 32-bit Timer Counter is incremented when the Prescale Counter reaches its terminal
count. Unless it is reset before reaching its upper limit, the TC will count up through the
value 0xFFFF FFFF and then wrap back to the value 0x0000 0000. This event does not
cause an interrupt, but a Match register can be used to detect an overflow if needed.

15.5.5 Prescale Register (PR, TIMER0: T0PR - 0xE000 400C and TIMER1:
T1PR - 0xE000 800C)
The 32-bit Prescale Register specifies the maximum value for the Prescale Counter.

15.5.6 Prescale Counter Register (PC, TIMER0: T0PC - 0xE000 4010 and
TIMER1: T1PC - 0xE000 8010)
The 32-bit Prescale Counter controls division of PCLK by some constant value before it is
applied to the Timer Counter. This allows control of the relationship of the resolution of the
timer versus the maximum time before the timer overflows. The Prescale Counter is
incremented on every PCLK. When it reaches the value stored in the Prescale Register,
the Timer Counter is incremented and the Prescale Counter is reset on the next PCLK.
This causes the TC to increment on every PCLK when PR = 0, every 2 PCLKs when
PR = 1, etc.

15.5.7 Match Registers (MR0 - MR3)
The Match register values are continuously compared to the Timer Counter value. When
the two values are equal, actions can be triggered automatically. The action possibilities
are to generate an interrupt, reset the Timer Counter, or stop the timer. Actions are
controlled by the settings in the MCR register.

15.5.9 Capture Registers (CR0 - CR3)
Each Capture register is associated with a device pin and may be loaded with the Timer
Counter value when a specified event occurs on that pin. The settings in the Capture
Control Register register determine whether the capture function is enabled, and whether
a capture event happens on the rising edge of the associated pin, the falling edge, or on
both edges.

15.5.10 Capture Control Register (CCR, TIMER0: T0CCR - 0xE000 4028 and
TIMER1: T1CCR - 0xE000 8028)
The Capture Control Register is used to control whether one of the four Capture Registers
is loaded with the value in the Timer Counter when the capture event occurs, and whether
an interrupt is generated by the capture event. Setting both the rising and falling bits at the
same time is a valid configuration, resulting in a capture event for both edges. In the
description below, "n" represents the Timer number, 0 or 1.

15.6 Example timer operation
Figure 56 shows a timer configured to reset the count and generate an interrupt on match.
The prescaler is set to 2 and the match register set to 6. At the end of the timer cycle
where the match occurs, the timer count is reset. This gives a full length cycle to the
match value. The interrupt indicating that a match occurred is generated in the next clock
after the timer reached the match value.
Figure 57 shows a timer configured to stop and generate an interrupt on match. The
prescaler is again set to 2 and the match register set to 6. In the next clock after the timer
reaches the match value, the timer enable bit in TCR is cleared, and the interrupt
indicating that a match occurred is generated.

Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005

User manual

LPC2141/2/4/6/8 Pulse Width Modulator is based on standard Timer/Counter 0/1
described in the previous chapter. Application can choose among PWM and match
functions available.

16.1 Features
• Seven match registers allow up to 6 single edge controlled or 3 double edge
controlled PWM outputs, or a mix of both types. The match registers also allow:
– Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.
– Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.
– Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.

• An external output for each match register with the following capabilities:
– Set low on match.
– Set high on match.
– Toggle on match.
– Do nothing on match.

• Supports single edge controlled and/or double edge controlled PWM outputs. Single
edge controlled PWM outputs all go high at the beginning of each cycle unless the
output is a constant low. Double edge controlled PWM outputs can have either edge
occur at any position within a cycle. This allows for both positive going and negative
going pulses.

• Pulse period and width can be any number of timer counts. This allows complete
flexibility in the trade-off between resolution and repetition rate. All PWM outputs will
occur at the same repetition rate.

• Double edge controlled PWM outputs can be programmed to be either positive going
or negative going pulses.

• Match register updates are synchronized with pulse outputs to prevent generation of
erroneous pulses. Software must "release" new match values before they can
become effective.

• May be used as a standard timer if the PWM mode is not enabled.
• A 32-bit Timer/Counter with a programmable 32-bit Prescaler.
• Four 32-bit capture channels take a snapshot of the timer value when an input signal
transitions. A capture event may also optionally generate an interrupt.

16.2 Description
The PWM is based on the standard Timer block and inherits all of its features, although
only the PWM function is pinned out on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8. The Timer is designed to
count cycles of the peripheral clock (PCLK) and optionally generate interrupts or perform
other actions when specified timer values occur, based on seven match registers. It also

Chapter 16: PWM

includes four capture inputs to save the timer value when an input signal transitions, and
optionally generate an interrupt when those events occur. The PWM function is in addition
to these features, and is based on match register events.
The ability to separately control rising and falling edge locations allows the PWM to be
used for more applications. For instance, multi-phase motor control typically requires three
non-overlapping PWM outputs with individual control of all three pulse widths and
positions.
Two match registers can be used to provide a single edge controlled PWM output. One
match register (PWMMR0) controls the PWM cycle rate, by resetting the count upon
match. The other match register controls the PWM edge position. Additional single edge
controlled PWM outputs require only one match register each, since the repetition rate is
the same for all PWM outputs. Multiple single edge controlled PWM outputs will all have a
rising edge at the beginning of each PWM cycle, when an PWMMR0 match occurs.
Three match registers can be used to provide a PWM output with both edges controlled.
Again, the PWMMR0 match register controls the PWM cycle rate. The other match
registers control the two PWM edge positions. Additional double edge controlled PWM
outputs require only two match registers each, since the repetition rate is the same for all
PWM outputs.
With double edge controlled PWM outputs, specific match registers control the rising and
falling edge of the output. This allows both positive going PWM pulses (when the rising
edge occurs prior to the falling edge), and negative going PWM pulses (when the falling
edge occurs prior to the rising edge).
Figure 59 shows the block diagram of the PWM. The portions that have been added to the
standard timer block are on the right hand side and at the top of the diagram.

Chapter 16: PWM

A sample of how PWM values relate to waveform outputs is shown in Figure 60. PWM
output logic is shown in Figure 59 that allows selection of either single or double edge
controlled PWM outputs via the muxes controlled by the PWMSELn bits. The match
register selections for various PWM outputs is shown in Table 245. This implementation
supports up to N-1 single edge PWM outputs or (N-1)/2 double edge PWM outputs, where
N is the number of match registers that are implemented. PWM types can be mixed if
desired.

The waveforms below show a single PWM cycle and demonstrate PWM outputs under the
following conditions:
The timer is configured for PWM mode.

The match register values are as follows:

Match 0 is configured to reset the timer/counter

MRO = 100 (PWM rate)

when a match event occurs.

MR1 = 41, MR2 = 78 (PWM2 output)

Control bits PWMSEL2 and PWMSEL4 are set.

MR3 = 53, MR4 = 27 (PWM4 output)
MR5 = 65 (PWM5 output)

Identical to single edge mode in this case since Match 0 is the neighboring match register. Essentially,
PWM1 cannot be a double edged output.

[2]

It is generally not advantageous to use PWM channels 3 and 5 for double edge PWM outputs because it
would reduce the number of double edge PWM outputs that are possible. Using PWM 2, PWM4, and
PWM6 for double edge PWM outputs provides the most pairings.

16.2.1 Rules for single edge controlled PWM outputs
1. All single edge controlled PWM outputs go high at the beginning of a PWM cycle
unless their match value is equal to 0.

Chapter 16: PWM

2. Each PWM output will go low when its match value is reached. If no match occurs (i.e.
the match value is greater than the PWM rate), the PWM output remains continuously
high.

16.2.2 Rules for double edge controlled PWM outputs
Five rules are used to determine the next value of a PWM output when a new cycle is
about to begin:
1. The match values for the next PWM cycle are used at the end of a PWM cycle (a time
point which is coincident with the beginning of the next PWM cycle), except as noted
in rule 3.
2. A match value equal to 0 or the current PWM rate (the same as the Match channel 0
value) have the same effect, except as noted in rule 3. For example, a request for a
falling edge at the beginning of the PWM cycle has the same effect as a request for a
falling edge at the end of a PWM cycle.
3. When match values are changing, if one of the "old" match values is equal to the
PWM rate, it is used again once if the neither of the new match values are equal to 0
or the PWM rate, and there was no old match value equal to 0.
4. If both a set and a clear of a PWM output are requested at the same time, clear takes
precedence. This can occur when the set and clear match values are the same as in,
or when the set or clear value equals 0 and the other value equals the PWM rate.
5. If a match value is out of range (i.e. greater than the PWM rate value), no match event
occurs and that match channel has no effect on the output. This means that the PWM
output will remain always in one state, allowing always low, always high, or
"no change" outputs.

16.4.3 PWM Timer Counter (PWMTC - 0xE001 4008)
The 32-bit PWM Timer Counter is incremented when the Prescale Counter reaches its
terminal count. Unless it is reset before reaching its upper limit, the PWMTC will count up
through the value 0xFFFF FFFF and then wrap back to the value 0x0000 0000. This event
does not cause an interrupt, but a Match register can be used to detect an overflow if
needed.

16.4.4 PWM Prescale Register (PWMPR - 0xE001 400C)
The 32-bit PWM Prescale Register specifies the maximum value for the PWM Prescale
Counter.

16.4.5 PWM Prescale Counter register (PWMPC - 0xE001 4010)
The 32-bit PWM Prescale Counter controls division of PCLK by some constant value
before it is applied to the PWM Timer Counter. This allows control of the relationship of the
resolution of the timer versus the maximum time before the timer overflows. The PWM
Prescale Counter is incremented on every PCLK. When it reaches the value stored in the
PWM Prescale Register, the PWM Timer Counter is incremented and the PWM Prescale
Counter is reset on the next PCLK. This causes the PWM TC to increment on every PCLK
when PWMPR = 0, every 2 PCLKs when PWMPR = 1, etc.

16.4.9 PWM Latch Enable Register (PWMLER - 0xE001 4050)
The PWM Latch Enable Register is used to control the update of the PWM Match
registers when they are used for PWM generation. When software writes to the location of
a PWM Match register while the Timer is in PWM mode, the value is held in a shadow
register. When a PWM Match 0 event occurs (normally also resetting the timer in PWM
mode), the contents of shadow registers will be transferred to the actual Match registers if
the corresponding bit in the Latch Enable Register has been set. At that point, the new
values will take effect and determine the course of the next PWM cycle. Once the transfer
of new values has taken place, all bits of the LER are automatically cleared. Until the
corresponding bit in the PWMLER is set and a PWM Match 0 event occurs, any value
written to the PWM Match registers has no effect on PWM operation.
For example, if PWM2 is configured for double edge operation and is currently running, a
typical sequence of events for changing the timing would be:

•
•
•
•

Write a new value to the PWM Match1 register.
Write a new value to the PWM Match2 register.
Write to the PWMLER, setting bits 1 and 2 at the same time.
The altered values will become effective at the next reset of the timer (when a PWM
Match 0 event occurs).

The order of writing the two PWM Match registers is not important, since neither value will
be used until after the write to PWMLER. This insures that both values go into effect at the
same time, if that is required. A single value may be altered in the same way if needed.
The function of each of the bits in the PWMLER is shown in Table 252.

17.1 Features
• 10 bit successive approximation analog to digital converter (one in LPC2141/2 and
two in LPC2144/6/8).

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Input multiplexing among 6 or 8 pins (ADC0 and ADC1).
Power-down mode.
Measurement range 0 V to VREF (typically 3 V; not to exceed VDDA voltage level).
10 bit conversion time ≥ 2.44 µs.
Burst conversion mode for single or multiple inputs.
Optional conversion on transition on input pin or Timer Match signal.
Global Start command for both converters (LPC2144/6/8 only).

17.2 Description
Basic clocking for the A/D converters is provided by the VPB clock. A programmable
divider is included in each converter, to scale this clock to the 4.5 MHz (max) clock
needed by the successive approximation process. A fully accurate conversion requires 11
of these clocks.

Table 253 gives a brief summary of each of ADC related pins.
Table 253: ADC pin description
Pin

Type

Description

AD0.7:6, AD0.4:1
&
AD1.7:0
(LPC2144/6/8)

Input

Analog Inputs. The ADC cell can measure the voltage on any of these input signals.
Note that these analog inputs are always connected to their pins, even if the Pin
function Select register assigns them to port pins. A simple self-test of the ADC can be
done by driving these pins as port outputs.
Note: if the ADC is used, signal levels on analog input pins must not be above the
level of V3A at any time. Otherwise, A/D converter readings will be invalid. If the A/D
converter is not used in an application then the pins associated with A/D inputs can be
used as 5 V tolerant digital IO pins.
Warning: while the ADC pins are specified as 5 V tolerant (see Table 58 “Pin
description” on page 69), the analog multiplexing in the ADC block is not. More than
3.3 V (VDDA) +10 % should not be applied to any pin that is selected as an ADC input,
or the ADC reading will be incorrect. If for example AD0.0 and AD0.1 are used as the
ADC0 inputs and voltage on AD0.0 = 4.5 V while AD0.1 = 2.5 V, an excessive voltage
on the AD0.0 can cause an incorrect reading of the AD0.1, although the AD0.1 input
voltage is within the right range.

VREF

Reference

Voltage Reference. This pin is provides a voltage reference level for the A/D
converter(s).

VDDA, VSSA

Power

Analog Power and Ground. These should be nominally the same voltages as VDD
and VSS, but should be isolated to minimize noise and error.

17.5 Operation
17.5.1 Hardware-triggered conversion
If the BURST bit in the ADCR is 0 and the START field contains 010-111, the ADC will
start a conversion when a transition occurs on a selected pin or Timer Match signal. The
choices include conversion on a specified edge of any of 4 Match signals, or conversion
on a specified edge of either of 2 Capture/Match pins. The pin state from the selected pad
or the selected Match signal, XORed with ADCR bit 27, is used in the edge detection
logic.

17.5.2 Interrupts
An interrupt request is asserted to the Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC) when the DONE
bit is 1. Software can use the Interrupt Enable bit for the A/D Converter in the VIC to
control whether this assertion results in an interrupt. DONE is negated when the ADDR is
read.

17.5.3 Accuracy vs. digital receiver
The AIN function must be selected in corresponding Pin Select register (see "Pin Connect
Block" on page 75) in order to get accurate voltage readings on the monitored pin. For pin
hosting an ADC input, it is not possible to have a have a digital function selected and yet
get valid ADC readings. An inside circuit disconnects ADC hardware from the associated
pin whenever a digital function is selected on that pin.

19.1 Features
• Measures the passage of time to maintain a calendar and clock.
• Ultra Low Power design to support battery powered systems.
• Provides Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day of Month, Month, Year, Day of Week, and Day
of Year.

• Dedicated 32 kHz oscillator or programmable prescaler from VPB clock.
• Dedicated power supply pin can be connected to a battery or to the main 3.3 V.

19.2 Description
The Real Time Clock (RTC) is a set of counters for measuring time when system power is
on, and optionally when it is off. It uses little power in Power-down mode. On the
LPC2141/2/4/6/8, the RTC can be clocked by a separate 32.768 KHz oscillator, or by a
programmable prescale divider based on the VPB clock. Also, the RTC is powered by its
own power supply pin, VBAT, which can be connected to a battery or to the same 3.3 V
supply used by the rest of the device.

Chapter 19: RTC

19.4.1 RTC interrupts
Interrupt generation is controlled through the Interrupt Location Register (ILR), Counter
Increment Interrupt Register (CIIR), the alarm registers, and the Alarm Mask Register
(AMR). Interrupts are generated only by the transition into the interrupt state. The ILR
separately enables CIIR and AMR interrupts. Each bit in CIIR corresponds to one of the
time counters. If CIIR is enabled for a particular counter, then every time the counter is
incremented an interrupt is generated. The alarm registers allow the user to specify a date
and time for an interrupt to be generated. The AMR provides a mechanism to mask alarm
compares. If all nonmasked alarm registers match the value in their corresponding time
counter, then an interrupt is generated.
The RTC interrupt can bring the microcontroller out of power-down mode if the RTC is
operating from its own oscillator on the RTCX1-2 pins. When the RTC interrupt is enabled
for wakeup and its selected event occurs, XTAL1/2 pins associated oscillator wakeup
cycle is started. For details on the RTC based wakeup process see Section 3.5.3
“Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE - 0xE01F C144)” on page 22 and Section 3.12
“Wakeup timer” on page 41.

19.4.3 Interrupt Location Register (ILR - 0xE002 4000)
The Interrupt Location Register is a 2-bit register that specifies which blocks are
generating an interrupt (see Table 265). Writing a one to the appropriate bit clears the
corresponding interrupt. Writing a zero has no effect. This allows the programmer to read
this register and write back the same value to clear only the interrupt that is detected by
the read.

These values are simply incremented at the appropriate intervals and reset at the defined overflow point.
They are not calculated and must be correctly initialized in order to be meaningful.

19.4.13 Leap year calculation
The RTC does a simple bit comparison to see if the two lowest order bits of the year
counter are zero. If true, then the RTC considers that year a leap year. The RTC considers
all years evenly divisible by 4 as leap years. This algorithm is accurate from the year 1901
through the year 2099, but fails for the year 2100, which is not a leap year. The only effect
of leap year on the RTC is to alter the length of the month of February for the month, day
of month, and year counters.

19.4.14 Alarm register group
The alarm registers are shown in Table 275. The values in these registers are compared
with the time counters. If all the unmasked (See Section 19.4.7 “Alarm Mask Register
(AMR - 0xE002 4010)” on page 279) alarm registers match their corresponding time
counters then an interrupt is generated. The interrupt is cleared when a one is written to
bit one of the Interrupt Location Register (ILR[1]).

19.5 RTC usage notes
If the RTC is used, VBAT must be connected to either pin V3 or an independent power
supply (external battery). Otherwise, VBAT should be tied to the ground (VSS). No provision
is made in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 to retain RTC status upon the VBAT power loss, or to
maintain time incrementation if the clock source is lost, interrupted, or altered.
Since the RTC operates using one of two available clocks (the VPB clock (PCLK) or the
32 kHz signal coming from the RTCX1-2pins), any interruption of the selected clock will
cause the time to drift away from the time value it would have provided otherwise. The
variance could be to actual clock time if the RTC was initialized to that, or simply an error
in elapsed time since the RTC was activated.
While the signal from RTCX1-2 pins can be used to supply the RTC clock at anytime,
selecting the PCLK as the RTC clock and entering the Power-down mode will cause a
lapse in the time update. Also, feeding the RTC with the PCLK and altering this timebase
during system operation (by reconfiguring the PLL, the VPB divider, or the RTC prescaler)
will result in some form of accumulated time error. Accumulated time errors may occur in
case RTC clock source is switched between the PCLK to the RTCX pins, too.
Once the 32 kHz signal from RTCX1-2 pins is selected as a clock source, the RTC can
operate completely without the presence of the VPB clock (PCLK). Therefore, power
sensitive applications (i.e. battery powered application) utilizing the RTC will reduce the
power consumption by using the signal from RTCX1-2 pins, and writing a 0 into the
PCRTC bit in the PCONP power control register (see Section 3.9 “Power control” on page
35).

19.6 Reference clock divider (prescaler)
The reference clock divider (hereafter referred to as the prescaler) allows generation of a
32.768 kHz reference clock from any peripheral clock frequency greater than or equal to
65.536 kHz (2 × 32.768 kHz). This permits the RTC to always run at the proper rate
regardless of the peripheral clock rate. Basically, the Prescaler divides the peripheral
clock (PCLK) by a value which contains both an integer portion and a fractional portion.
The result is not a continuous output at a constant frequency, some clock periods will be
one PCLK longer than others. However, the overall result can always be 32,768 counts
per second.

Chapter 19: RTC

The reference clock divider consists of a 13-bit integer counter and a 15-bit fractional
counter. The reasons for these counter sizes are as follows:
1. For frequencies that are expected to be supported by the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, a 13-bit
integer counter is required. This can be calculated as 160 MHz divided by
32,768 minus 1 = 4881 with a remainder of 26,624. Thirteen bits are needed to hold
the value 4881, but actually supports frequencies up to 268.4 MHz (32,768 × 8192).
2. The remainder value could be as large as 32,767, which requires 15 bits.

19.6.3 Example of prescaler usage
In a simplistic case, the PCLK frequency is 65.537 kHz. So:
PREINT = int (PCLK / 32768) − 1 = 1 and
PREFRAC = PCLK - ([PREINT + 1] × 32768) = 1
With this prescaler setting, exactly 32,768 clocks per second will be provided to the RTC
by counting 2 PCLKs 32,767 times, and 3 PCLKs once.
In a more realistic case, the PCLK frequency is 10 MHz. Then,

PREINT = int (PCLK / 32768) − 1 = 304 and
PREFRAC = PCLK − ([PREINT + 1] × 32768) = 5,760.
In this case, 5,760 of the prescaler output clocks will be 306 (305 + 1) PCLKs long, the
rest will be 305 PCLKs long.
In a similar manner, any PCLK rate greater than 65.536 kHz (as long as it is an even
number of cycles per second) may be turned into a 32 kHz reference clock for the RTC.
The only caveat is that if PREFRAC does not contain a zero, then not all of the 32,768 per
second clocks are of the same length. Some of the clocks are one PCLK longer than
others. While the longer pulses are distributed as evenly as possible among the remaining
pulses, this "jitter" could possibly be of concern in an application that wishes to observe
the contents of the Clock Tick Counter (CTC) directly(Section 19.4.4 “Clock Tick Counter
Register (CTCR - 0xE002 4004)” on page 278).

The Prescaler block labelled "Combination Logic" in Figure 62 determines when the
decrement of the 13-bit PREINT counter is extended by one PCLK. In order to both insert
the correct number of longer cycles, and to distribute them evenly, the combinatorial Logic
associates each bit in PREFRAC with a combination in the 15-bit Fraction Counter. These
associations are shown in the following Table 279.

For example, if PREFRAC bit 14 is a one (representing the fraction 1/2), then half of the
cycles counted by the 13-bit counter need to be longer. When there is a 1 in the LSB of
the Fraction Counter, the logic causes every alternate count (whenever the LSB of the
Fraction Counter=1) to be extended by one PCLK, evenly distributing the pulse widths.
Similarly, a one in PREFRAC bit 13 (representing the fraction 1/4) will cause every fourth
cycle (whenever the two LSBs of the Fraction Counter=10) counted by the 13-bit counter
to be longer.

Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005

User manual

20.1 Features
• Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded.
• Debug mode.
• Enabled by software but requires a hardware reset or a watchdog reset/interrupt to be
disabled.

•
•
•
•

Incorrect/Incomplete feed sequence causes reset/interrupt if enabled.
Flag to indicate Watchdog reset.
Programmable 32-bit timer with internal pre-scaler.
Selectable time period from (TPCLK x 256 x 4) to (TPCLK x 232 x 4) in multiples of
TPCLK x 4.

20.2 Applications
The purpose of the watchdog is to reset the microcontroller within a reasonable amount of
time if it enters an erroneous state. When enabled, the watchdog will generate a system
reset if the user program fails to "feed" (or reload) the watchdog within a predetermined
amount of time.
For interaction of the on-chip watchdog and other peripherals, especially the reset and
boot-up procedures, please read Section 3.10 “Reset” on page 38 of this document.

20.3 Description
The watchdog consists of a divide by 4 fixed pre-scaler and a 32-bit counter. The clock is
fed to the timer via a pre-scaler. The timer decrements when clocked. The minimum value
from which the counter decrements is 0xFF. Setting a value lower than 0xFF causes 0xFF
to be loaded in the counter. Hence the minimum watchdog interval is (TPCLK x 256 x 4)
and the maximum watchdog interval is (TPCLK x 232 x 4) in multiples of (TPCLK x 4). The
watchdog should be used in the following manner:

•
•
•
•

Set the watchdog timer constant reload value in WDTC register.
Setup mode in WDMOD register.
Start the watchdog by writing 0xAA followed by 0x55 to the WDFEED register.
Watchdog should be fed again before the watchdog counter underflows to prevent
reset/interrupt.

When the Watchdog counter underflows, the program counter will start from 0x0000 0000
as in the case of external reset. The Watchdog Time-Out Flag (WDTOF) can be examined
to determine if the watchdog has caused the reset condition. The WDTOF flag must be
cleared by software.

reset will clear the WDINT flag.

Once the WDEN and/or WDRESET bits are set they can not be cleared by software. Both
flags are cleared by an external reset or a watchdog timer underflow.
WDTOF The Watchdog Time-Out Flag is set when the watchdog times out. This flag is
cleared by software.
WDINT The Watchdog Interrupt Flag is set when the watchdog times out. This flag is
cleared when any reset occurs. Once the watchdog interrupt is serviced, it can be
disabled in the VIC or the watchdog interrupt request will be generated indefinitely.

The WDTC register determines the time-out value. Every time a feed sequence occurs the
WDTC content is reloaded in to the watchdog timer. It’s a 32-bit register with 8 LSB set to
1 on reset. Writing values below 0xFF will cause 0xFF to be loaded to the WDTC. Thus
the minimum time-out interval is TPCLK × 256 × 4.

Writing 0xAA followed by 0x55 to this register will reload the watchdog timer to the WDTC
value. This operation will also start the watchdog if it is enabled via the WDMOD register.
Setting the WDEN bit in the WDMOD register is not sufficient to enable the watchdog. A
valid feed sequence must first be completed before the Watchdog is capable of generating
an interrupt/reset. Until then, the watchdog will ignore feed errors. Once 0xAA is written to
the WDFEED register the next operation in the Watchdog register space should be a
WRITE (0x55) to the WDFFED register otherwise the watchdog is triggered. The
interrupt/reset will be generated during the second PCLK following an incorrect access to
a watchdog timer register during a feed sequence.

Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005

User manual

21.1 Flash Boot Loader
The Boot Loader controls initial operation after reset, and also provides the means to
accomplish programming of the Flash memory. This could be initial programming of a
blank device, erasure and re-programming of a previously programmed device, or
programming of the Flash memory by the application program in a running system.

21.2 Features
• In-System Programming: In-System programming (ISP) is programming or
reprogramming the on-chip flash memory, using the boot loader software and a serial
port. This can be done when the part resides in the end-user board.

• In Application Programming: In-Application (IAP) programming is performing erase
and write operation on the on-chip flash memory, as directed by the end-user
application code.

21.3 Applications
The flash boot loader provides both In-System and In-Application programming interfaces
for programming the on-chip flash memory.

21.4 Description
The flash boot loader code is executed every time the part is powered on or reset. The
loader can execute the ISP command handler or the user application code. A a LOW level
after reset at the P0.14 pin is considered as an external hardware request to start the ISP
command handler. Assuming that proper signal is present on X1 pin when the rising edge
on RESET pin is generated, it may take up to 3 ms before P0.14 is sampled and the
decision on whether to continue with user code or ISP handler is made. If P0.14 is
sampled low and the watchdog overflow flag is set, the external hardware request to start
the ISP command handler is ignored. If there is no request for the ISP command handler
execution (P0.14 is sampled HIGH after reset), a search is made for a valid user program.
If a valid user program is found then the execution control is transferred to it. If a valid user
program is not found, the auto-baud routine is invoked.
Pin P0.14 that is used as hardware request for ISP requires special attention. Since P0.14
is in high impedance mode after reset, it is important that the user provides external
hardware (a pull-up resistor or other device) to put the pin in a defined state. Otherwise
unintended entry into ISP mode may occur.

21.4.1 Memory map after any reset
The boot block is 12 kB in size and resides in the top portion (starting from 0x0007 D000)
of the on-chip flash memory. After any reset the entire boot block is also mapped to the
top of the on-chip memory space i.e. the boot block is also visible in the memory region
starting from the address 0x7FFF D000. The flash boot loader is designed to run from this

usage is described later in this chapter. The interrupt vectors residing in the boot block of
the on-chip flash memory also become active after reset, i.e., the bottom 64 bytes of the
boot block are also visible in the memory region starting from the address 0x0000 0000.
The reset vector contains a jump instruction to the entry point of the flash boot loader
software.

21.4.2 Criterion for valid user code
Criterion for valid user code: The reserved ARM interrupt vector location (0x0000 0014)
should contain the 2’s complement of the check-sum of the remaining interrupt vectors.
This causes the checksum of all of the vectors together to be 0. The boot loader code
disables the overlaying of the interrupt vectors from the boot block, then checksums the
interrupt vectors in sector 0 of the flash. If the signatures match then the execution control
is transferred to the user code by loading the program counter with 0x0000 0000. Hence
the user flash reset vector should contain a jump instruction to the entry point of the user
application code.
If the signature is not valid, the auto-baud routine synchronizes with the host via serial port
0. The host should send a ’?’ (0x3F) as a synchronization character and wait for a
response. The host side serial port settings should be 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
The auto-baud routine measures the bit time of the received synchronization character in
terms of its own frequency and programs the baud rate generator of the serial port. It also
sends an ASCII string ("Synchronized<CR><LF>") to the Host. In response to this host
should send the same string ("Synchronized<CR><LF>"). The auto-baud routine looks at

the received characters to verify synchronization. If synchronization is verified then
"OK<CR><LF>" string is sent to the host. Host should respond by sending the crystal
frequency (in kHz) at which the part is running. For example, if the part is running at 10
MHz, the response from the host should be "10000<CR><LF>". "OK<CR><LF>" string is
sent to the host after receiving the crystal frequency. If synchronization is not verified then
the auto-baud routine waits again for a synchronization character. For auto-baud to work
correctly, the crystal frequency should be greater than or equal to 10 MHz. The on-chip
PLL is not used by the boot code.
Once the crystal frequency is received the part is initialized and the ISP command handler
is invoked. For safety reasons an "Unlock" command is required before executing the
commands resulting in flash erase/write operations and the "Go" command. The rest of
the commands can be executed without the unlock command. The Unlock command is
required to be executed once per ISP session. The Unlock command is explained in
Section 21.8 “ISP commands” on page 297.

21.4.3 Communication protocol
All ISP commands should be sent as single ASCII strings. Strings should be terminated
with Carriage Return (CR) and/or Line Feed (LF) control characters. Extra <CR> and
<LF> characters are ignored. All ISP responses are sent as <CR><LF> terminated ASCII
strings. Data is sent and received in UU-encoded format.

21.4.4 ISP command format
"Command Parameter_0 Parameter_1 ... Parameter_n<CR><LF>" "Data" (Data only for
Write commands)

21.4.5 ISP response format
"Return_Code<CR><LF>Response_0<CR><LF>Response_1<CR><LF> ...
Response_n<CR><LF>" "Data" (Data only for Read commands)

21.4.6 ISP data format
The data stream is in UU-encode format. The UU-encode algorithm converts 3 bytes of
binary data in to 4 bytes of printable ASCII character set. It is more efficient than Hex
format which converts 1 byte of binary data in to 2 bytes of ASCII hex. The sender should
send the check-sum after transmitting 20 UU-encoded lines. The length of any
UU-encoded line should not exceed 61 characters(bytes) i.e. it can hold 45 data bytes.
The receiver should compare it with the check-sum of the received bytes. If the check-sum
matches then the receiver should respond with "OK<CR><LF>" to continue further
transmission. If the check-sum does not match the receiver should respond with
"RESEND<CR><LF>". In response the sender should retransmit the bytes.
A description of UU-encode is available at http://www.wotsit.org.

21.4.7 ISP flow control
A software XON/XOFF flow control scheme is used to prevent data loss due to buffer
overrun. When the data arrives rapidly, the ASCII control character DC3 (stop) is sent to
stop the flow of data. Data flow is resumed by sending the ASCII control character DC1
(start). The host should also support the same flow control scheme.

21.4.8 ISP command abort
Commands can be aborted by sending the ASCII control character "ESC". This feature is
not documented as a command under "ISP Commands" section. Once the escape code is
received the ISP command handler waits for a new command.

21.4.9 Interrupts during ISP
The boot block interrupt vectors located in the boot block of the flash are active after any
reset.

21.4.10 Interrupts during IAP
The on-chip flash memory is not accessible during erase/write operations. When the user
application code starts executing the interrupt vectors from the user flash area are active.
The user should either disable interrupts, or ensure that user interrupt vectors are active in
RAM and that the interrupt handlers reside in RAM, before making a flash erase/write IAP
call. The IAP code does not use or disable interrupts.

21.4.11 RAM used by ISP command handler
ISP commands use on-chip RAM from 0x4000 0120 to 0x4000 01FF. The user could use
this area, but the contents may be lost upon reset. Flash programming commands use the
top 32 bytes of on-chip RAM. The stack is located at RAM top − 32. The maximum stack
usage is 256 bytes and it grows downwards.

21.4.12 RAM used by IAP command handler
Flash programming commands use the top 32 bytes of on-chip RAM. The maximum stack
usage in the user allocated stack space is 128 bytes and it grows downwards.

21.4.13 RAM used by RealMonitor
The RealMonitor uses on-chip RAM from 0x4000 0040 to 0x4000 011F. he user could use
this area if RealMonitor based debug is not required. The Flash boot loader does not
initialize the stack for RealMonitor.

21.6 Flash content protection mechanism
The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 is equipped with the Error Correction Code (ECC) capable Flash
memory. The purpose of an error correction module is twofold. Firstly, it decodes data
words read from the memory into output data words. Secondly, it encodes data words to
be written to the memory. The error correction capability consists of single bit error
correction with Hamming code.

Chapter 21: Flash Memory

The operation of ECC is transparent to the running application. The ECC content itself is
stored in a flash memory not accessible by user’s code to either read from it or write into it
on its own. A byte of ECC corresponds to every consecutive 128 bits of the user
accessible Flash. Consequently, Flash bytes from 0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 0003 are
protected by the first ECC byte, Flash bytes from 0x0000 0004 to 0x0000 0007 are
protected by the second ECC byte, etc.
Whenever the CPU requests a read from user’s Flash, both 128 bits of raw data
containing the specified memory location and the matching ECC byte are evaluated. If the
ECC mechanism detects a single error in the fetched data, a correction will be applied
before data are provided to the CPU. When a write request into the user’s Flash is made,
write of user specified content is accompanied by a matching ECC value calculated and
stored in the ECC memory.
When a sector of user’s Flash memory is erased, corresponding ECC bytes are also
erased. Once an ECC byte is written, it can not be updated unless it is erased first.
Therefore, for the implemented ECC mechanism to perform properly, data must be written
into the Flash memory in groups of 4 bytes (or multiples of 4), aligned as described above.

21.7 Code Read Protection (CRP)
Code read protection is enabled by programming the flash address location 0x1FC (User
flash sector 0) with value 0x8765 4321 (2271560481 Decimal). Address 0x1FC is used to
allow some room for the FIQ exception handler. When the code read protection is enabled
the JTAG debug port, external memory boot and the following ISP commands are
disabled:

•
•
•
•

Read Memory
Write to RAM
Go
Copy RAM to Flash

The ISP commands mentioned above terminate with return code
CODE_READ_PROTECTION_ENABLED. The ISP erase command only allows erasure
of all user sectors when the code read protection is enabled. This limitation does not exist
if the code read protection is not enabled. IAP commands are not affected by the code
read protection.
Important: CRP is active/inactive once the device has gone through a power cycle.

21.8 ISP commands
The following commands are accepted by the ISP command handler. Detailed status
codes are supported for each command. The command handler sends the return code
INVALID_COMMAND when an undefined command is received. Commands and return
codes are in ASCII format.
CMD_SUCCESS is sent by ISP command handler only when received ISP command has
been completely executed and the new ISP command can be given by the host.
Exceptions from this rule are "Set Baud Rate", "Write to RAM", "Read Memory", and "Go"
commands.

21.8.4 Write to RAM <start address> <number of bytes>
The host should send the data only after receiving the CMD_SUCCESS return code. The
host should send the check-sum after transmitting 20 UU-encoded lines. The checksum is
generated by adding raw data (before UU-encoding) bytes and is reset after transmitting
20 UU-encoded lines. The length of any UU-encoded line should not exceed 61
characters(bytes) i.e. it can hold 45 data bytes. When the data fits in less then 20
UU-encoded lines then the check-sum should be of the actual number of bytes sent. The
ISP command handler compares it with the check-sum of the received bytes. If the
check-sum matches, the ISP command handler responds with "OK<CR><LF>" to
continue further transmission. If the check-sum does not match, the ISP command
handler responds with "RESEND<CR><LF>". In response the host should retransmit the
bytes.

21.9 IAP Commands
For in application programming the IAP routine should be called with a word pointer in
register r0 pointing to memory (RAM) containing command code and parameters. Result
of the IAP command is returned in the result table pointed to by register r1. The user can
reuse the command table for result by passing the same pointer in registers r0 and r1. The
parameter table should be big enough to hold all the results in case if number of results
are more than number of parameters. Parameter passing is illustrated in the Figure 67.
The number of parameters and results vary according to the IAP command. The
maximum number of parameters is 5, passed to the "Copy RAM to FLASH" command.
The maximum number of results is 2, returned by the "Blankcheck sector(s)" command.
The command handler sends the status code INVALID_COMMAND when an undefined
command is received. The IAP routine resides at 0x7FFF FFF0 location and it is thumb
code.
The IAP function could be called in the following way using C.
Define the IAP location entry point. Since the 0th bit of the IAP location is set there will be
a change to Thumb instruction set when the program counter branches to this address.
#define IAP_LOCATION 0x7ffffff1
Define data structure or pointers to pass IAP command table and result table to the IAP
function:
unsigned long command[5];
unsigned long result[2];
or
unsigned long * command;
unsigned long * result;
command=(unsigned long *) 0x……
result= (unsigned long *) 0x……
Define pointer to function type, which takes two parameters and returns void. Note the IAP
returns the result with the base address of the table residing in R1.

IAP iap_entry;
Setting function pointer:
iap_entry=(IAP) IAP_LOCATION;
Whenever you wish to call IAP you could use the following statement.
iap_entry (command, result);
The IAP call could be simplified further by using the symbol definition file feature
supported by ARM Linker in ADS (ARM Developer Suite). You could also call the IAP
routine using assembly code.
The following symbol definitions can be used to link IAP routine and user application:

0x7fffffe0 A rm_irqhandler2
0x7ffffff0 T iap_entry
As per the ARM specification (The ARM Thumb Procedure Call Standard SWS ESPC
0002 A-05) up to 4 parameters can be passed in the r0, r1, r2 and r3 registers
respectively. Additional parameters are passed on the stack. Up to 4 parameters can be
returned in the r0, r1, r2 and r3 registers respectively. Additional parameters are returned
indirectly via memory. Some of the IAP calls require more than 4 parameters. If the ARM
suggested scheme is used for the parameter passing/returning then it might create
problems due to difference in the C compiler implementation from different vendors. The
suggested parameter passing scheme reduces such risk.
The flash memory is not accessible during a write or erase operation. IAP commands,
which results in a flash write/erase operation, use 32 bytes of space in the top portion of
the on-chip RAM for execution. The user program should not be use this space if IAP flash
programming is permitted in the application.

22.1 Features
• No target resources are required by the software debugger in order to start the
debugging session.

• Allows the software debugger to talk via a JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) port directly
to the core.

• Inserts instructions directly in to the ARM7TDMI-S core.
• The ARM7TDMI-S core or the System state can be examined, saved or changed
depending on the type of instruction inserted.

• Allows instructions to execute at a slow debug speed or at a fast system speed.

22.2 Applications
The EmbeddedICE logic provides on-chip debug support. The debugging of the target
system requires a host computer running the debugger software and an EmbeddedICE
protocol convertor. EmbeddedICE protocol convertor converts the Remote Debug
Protocol commands to the JTAG data needed to access the ARM7TDMI-S core present
on the target system.

22.3 Description
The ARM7TDMI-S Debug Architecture uses the existing JTAG1 port as a method of
accessing the core. The scan chains that are around the core for production test are
reused in the debug state to capture information from the data bus and to insert new
information into the core or the memory. There are two JTAG-style scan chains within the
ARM7TDMI-S. A JTAG-style Test Access Port Controller controls the scan chains. In
addition to the scan chains, the debug architecture uses EmbeddedICE logic which
resides on chip with the ARM7TDMI-S core. The EmbeddedICE has its own scan chain
that is used to insert watchpoints and breakpoints for the ARM7TDMI-S core. The
EmbeddedICE logic consists of two real time watchpoint registers, together with a control
and status register. One or both of the watchpoint registers can be programmed to halt the
ARM7TDMI-S core. Execution is halted when a match occurs between the values
programmed into the EmbeddedICE logic and the values currently appearing on the
address bus, data bus and some control signals. Any bit can be masked so that its value
does not affect the comparison. Either watchpoint register can be configured as a
watchpoint (i.e. on a data access) or a break point (i.e. on an instruction fetch). The
watchpoints and breakpoints can be combined such that:

• The conditions on both watchpoints must be satisfied before the ARM7TDMI core is
stopped. The CHAIN functionality requires two consecutive conditions to be satisfied
before the core is halted. An example of this would be to set the first breakpoint to

trigger on an access to a peripheral and the second to trigger on the code segment
that performs the task switching. Therefore when the breakpoints trigger the
information regarding which task has switched out will be ready for examination.

• The watchpoints can be configured such that a range of addresses are enabled for
the watchpoints to be active. The RANGE function allows the breakpoints to be
combined such that a breakpoint is to occur if an access occurs in the bottom 256
bytes of memory but not in the bottom 32 bytes.
The ARM7TDMI-S core has a Debug Communication Channel function in-built. The
debug communication channel allows a program running on the target to communicate
with the host debugger or another separate host without stopping the program flow or
even entering the debug state. The debug communication channel is accessed as a
co-processor 14 by the program running on the ARM7TDMI-S core. The debug
communication channel allows the JTAG port to be used for sending and receiving data
without affecting the normal program flow. The debug communication channel data and
control registers are mapped in to addresses in the EmbeddedICE logic.

Test Reset. The nTRST pin can be used to reset the test logic within the
EmbeddedICE logic.

RTCK

Output

Returned Test Clock. Extra signal added to the JTAG port. Required for
designs based on ARM7TDMI-S processor core. Multi-ICE (Development
system from ARM) uses this signal to maintain synchronization with
targets having slow or widely varying clock frequency. For details refer to
"Multi-ICE System Design considerations Application Note 72 (ARM DAI
0072A)".

22.5 Reset state of multiplexed pins
On the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, the pins above are multiplexed with P1.31-26. To have them
come up as a Debug port, connect a weak bias resistor (4.7-10 kΩ depending on the
external JTAG circuitry) between VSS and the P1.26/RTCK pin. To have them come up as
GPIO pins, do not connect a bias resistor, and ensure that any external driver connected
to P1.26/RTCK is either driving high, or is in high-impedance state, during Reset.

1 External trigger input
10 pin interface
All registers are programmed through JTAG interface.
Does not consume power when trace is not being used.
THUMB instruction set support

23.2 Applications
As the microcontroller has significant amounts of on-chip memories, it is not possible to
determine how the processor core is operating simply by observing the external pins. The
ETM provides real-time trace capability for deeply embedded processor cores. It outputs
information about processor execution to a trace port. A software debugger allows
configuration of the ETM using a JTAG interface and displays the trace information that
has been captured, in a format that a user can easily understand.

23.3 Description
The ETM is connected directly to the ARM core and not to the main AMBA system bus. It
compresses the trace information and exports it through a narrow trace port. An external
Trace Port Analyzer captures the trace information under software debugger control. Trace
port can broadcast the Instruction trace information. Instruction trace (or PC trace) shows
the flow of execution of the processor and provides a list of all the instructions that were
executed. Instruction trace is significantly compressed by only broadcasting branch
addresses as well as a set of status signals that indicate the pipeline status on a cycle by
cycle basis. Trace information generation can be controlled by selecting the trigger
resource. Trigger resources include address comparators, counters and sequencers.
Since trace information is compressed the software debugger requires a static image of
the code being executed. Self-modifying code can not be traced because of this
restriction.

Description

TRACECLK

Output Trace Clock. The trace clock signal provides the clock for the trace
port. PIPESTAT[2:0], TRACESYNC, and TRACEPKT[3:0] signals are
referenced to the rising edge of the trace clock. This clock is not
generated by the ETM block. It is to be derived from the system clock.
The clock should be balanced to provide sufficient hold time for the
trace data signals. Half rate clocking mode is supported. Trace data
signals should be shifted by a clock phase from TRACECLK. Refer to
Figure 3.14 page 3.26 and figure 3.15 page 3.27 in "ETM7 Technical
Reference Manual" (ARM DDI 0158B), for example circuits that
implements both half-rate clocking and shifting of the trace data with
respect to the clock. For TRACECLK timings refer to section 5.2 on
page 5-13 in "Embedded Trace Macrocell Specification" (ARM IHI
0014E).

PIPESTAT[2:0]

Output Pipe Line status. The pipeline status signals provide a cycle-by-cycle
indication of what is happening in the execution stage of the processor
pipeline.

TRACESYNC

Output Trace synchronization. The trace sync signal is used to indicate the
first packet of a group of trace packets and is asserted HIGH only for
the first packet of any branch address.

TRACEPKT[3:0] Output Trace Packet. The trace packet signals are used to output packaged
address and data information related to the pipeline status. All packets
are eight bits in length. A packet is output over two cycles. In the first
cycle, Packet[3:0] is output and in the second cycle, Packet[7:4] is
output.

23.5 Reset state of multiplexed pins
On the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, the ETM pin functions are multiplexed with P1.25-16. To have
these pins come as a Trace port, connect a weak bias resistor (4.7 kΩ) between the
P1.20/TRACESYNC pin and VSS. To have them come up as port pins, do not connect a
bias resistor to P1.20/TRACESYNC, and ensure that any external driver connected to
P1.20/TRACESYNC is either driving high, or is in high-impedance state, during Reset.

User manual

RealMonitor is a configurable software module which enables real time debug.
RealMonitor is developed by ARM Inc. Information presented in this chapter is taken from
the ARM document RealMonitor Target Integration Guide (ARM DUI 0142A). It applies to
a specific configuration of RealMonitor software programmed in the on-chip ROM boot
memory of this device.
Refer to the white paper "Real Time Debug for System-on-Chip" available at
http://www.arm.com/support/White_Papers?OpenDocument for background information.

24.1 Features
• Allows user to establish a debug session to a currently running system without halting
or resetting the system.

• Allows user time-critical interrupt code to continue executing while other user
application code is being debugged.

24.2 Applications
Real time debugging.

24.3 Description
RealMonitor is a lightweight debug monitor that allows interrupts to be serviced while user
debug their foreground application. It communicates with the host using the DCC (Debug
Communications Channel), which is present in the EmbeddedICE logic. RealMonitor
provides advantages over the traditional methods for debugging applications in ARM
systems. The traditional methods include:

• Angel (a target-based debug monitor)
• Multi-ICE or other JTAG unit and EmbeddedICE logic (a hardware-based debug
solution).
Although both of these methods provide robust debugging environments, neither is
suitable as a lightweight real-time monitor.
Angel is designed to load and debug independent applications that can run in a variety of
modes, and communicate with the debug host using a variety of connections (such as a
serial port or ethernet). Angel is required to save and restore full processor context, and
the occurrence of interrupts can be delayed as a result. Angel, as a fully functional
target-based debugger, is therefore too heavyweight to perform as a real-time monitor.
Multi-ICE is a hardware debug solution that operates using the EmbeddedICE unit that is
built into most ARM processors. To perform debug tasks such as accessing memory or
the processor registers, Multi-ICE must place the core into a debug state. While the
processor is in this state, which can be millions of cycles, normal program execution is
suspended, and interrupts cannot be serviced.

Chapter 24: RealMonitor

RealMonitor combines features and mechanisms from both Angel and Multi-ICE to
provide the services and functions that are required. In particular, it contains both the
Multi-ICE communication mechanisms (the DCC using JTAG), and Angel-like support for
processor context saving and restoring. RealMonitor is pre-programmed in the on-chip
ROM memory (boot sector). When enabled It allows user to observe and debug while
parts of application continue to run. Refer to Section 24.4 “How to enable Realmonitor” on
page 322 for details.

24.3.1 RealMonitor components
As shown in Figure 70, RealMonitor is split in to two functional components:

24.3.2 RMHost
This is located between a debugger and a JTAG unit. The RMHost controller,
RealMonitor.dll, converts generic Remote Debug Interface (RDI) requests from the
debugger into DCC-only RDI messages for the JTAG unit. For complete details on
debugging a RealMonitor-integrated application from the host, see the ARM RMHost User
Guide (ARM DUI 0137A).

24.3.3 RMTarget
This is pre-programmed in the on-chip ROM memory (boot sector), and runs on the target
hardware. It uses the EmbeddedICE logic, and communicates with the host using the
DCC. For more details on RMTarget functionality, see the RealMonitor Target Integration
Guide (ARM DUI 0142A).

24.3.4 How RealMonitor works
In general terms, the RealMonitor operates as a state machine, as shown in Figure 71.
RealMonitor switches between running and stopped states, in response to packets
received by the host, or due to asynchronous events on the target. RMTarget supports the
triggering of only one breakpoint, watchpoint, stop, or semihosting SWI at a time. There is
no provision to allow nested events to be saved and restored. So, for example, if user
application has stopped at one breakpoint, and another breakpoint occurs in an IRQ
handler, RealMonitor enters a panic state. No debugging can be performed after
RealMonitor enters this state.

Fig 71. RealMonitor as a state machine

A debugger such as the ARM eXtended Debugger (AXD) or other RealMonitor aware
debugger, that runs on a host computer, can connect to the target to send commands and
receive data. This communication between host and target is illustrated in Figure 70.
The target component of RealMonitor, RMTarget, communicates with the host component,
RMHost, using the Debug Communications Channel (DCC), which is a reliable link whose
data is carried over the JTAG connection.
While user application is running, RMTarget typically uses IRQs generated by the DCC.
This means that if user application also wants to use IRQs, it must pass any
DCC-generated interrupts to RealMonitor.
To allow nonstop debugging, the EmbeddedICE-RT logic in the processor generates a
Prefetch Abort exception when a breakpoint is reached, or a Data Abort exception when a
watchpoint is hit. These exceptions are handled by the RealMonitor exception handlers
that inform the user, by way of the debugger, of the event. This allows user application to
continue running without stopping the processor. RealMonitor considers user application
to consist of two parts:

• a foreground application running continuously, typically in User, System, or SVC mode
• a background application containing interrupt and exception handlers that are
triggered by certain events in user system, including:
– IRQs or FIQs
– Data and Prefetch aborts caused by user foreground application. This indicates an
error in the application being debugged. In both cases the host is notified and the
user application is stopped.

Chapter 24: RealMonitor

– Undef exception caused by the undefined instructions in user foreground
application. This indicates an error in the application being debugged. RealMonitor
stops the user application until a "Go" packet is received from the host.
When one of these exceptions occur that is not handled by user application, the following
happens:

• RealMonitor enters a loop, polling the DCC. If the DCC read buffer is full, control is
passed to rm_ReceiveData() (RealMonitor internal function). If the DCC write buffer is
free, control is passed to rm_TransmitData() (RealMonitor internal function). If there is
nothing else to do, the function returns to the caller. The ordering of the above
comparisons gives reads from the DCC a higher priority than writes to the
communications link.

• RealMonitor stops the foreground application. Both IRQs and FIQs continue to be
serviced if they were enabled by the application at the time the foreground application
was stopped.

24.4 How to enable Realmonitor
The following steps must be performed to enable RealMonitor. A code example which
implements all the steps can be found at the end of this section.

24.4.1 Adding stacks
User must ensure that stacks are set up within application for each of the processor
modes used by RealMonitor. For each mode, RealMonitor requires a fixed number of
words of stack space. User must therefore allow sufficient stack space for both
RealMonitor and application.
RealMonitor has the following stack requirements:
Table 320: RealMonitor stack requirement
Processor Mode

RealMonitor Stack Usage (Bytes)

Undef

48

Prefetch Abort

16

Data Abort

16

IRQ

8

24.4.2 IRQ mode
A stack for this mode is always required. RealMonitor uses two words on entry to its
interrupt handler. These are freed before nested interrupts are enabled.

24.4.3 Undef mode
A stack for this mode is always required. RealMonitor uses 12 words while processing an
undefined instruction exception.

24.4.4 SVC mode
RealMonitor makes no use of this stack.

24.4.5 Prefetch Abort mode
RealMonitor uses four words on entry to its Prefetch abort interrupt handler.

24.4.6 Data Abort mode
RealMonitor uses four words on entry to its data abort interrupt handler.

24.4.7 User/System mode
RealMonitor makes no use of this stack.

24.4.8 FIQ mode
RealMonitor makes no use of this stack.

24.4.9 Handling exceptions
This section describes the importance of sharing exception handlers between
RealMonitor and user application.

24.4.10 RealMonitor exception handling
To function properly, RealMonitor must be able to intercept certain interrupts and
exceptions. Figure 72 illustrates how exceptions can be claimed by RealMonitor itself, or
shared between RealMonitor and application. If user application requires the exception
sharing, they must provide function (such as app_IRQDispatch ()). Depending on the
nature of the exception, this handler can either:

• Pass control to the RealMonitor processing routine, such as rm_irqhandler2().
• Claim the exception for the application itself, such as app_IRQHandler ().
In a simple case where an application has no exception handlers of its own, the
application can install the RealMonitor low-level exception handlers directly into the vector
table of the processor. Although the IRQ handler must get the address of the Vectored
Interrupt Controller. The easiest way to do this is to write a branch instruction (<address>)
into the vector table, where the target of the branch is the start address of the relevant
RealMonitor exception handler.

  • 3. UM10139 Chapter 1: General information Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual 1.1 Introduction The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 microcontrollers are based on a 32/16 bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-time emulation and embedded trace support, that combines the microcontroller with embedded high speed flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A 128-bit wide memory interface and a unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the alternative 16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30 % with minimal performance penalty. Due to their tiny size and low power consumption, LPC2141/2/4/6/8 are ideal for applications where miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and point-of-sale. A blend of serial communications interfaces ranging from a USB 2.0 Full Speed device, multiple UARTS, SPI, SSP to I2Cs and on-chip SRAM of 8 kB up to 40 kB, make these devices very well suited for communication gateways and protocol converters, soft modems, voice recognition and low end imaging, providing both large buffer size and high processing power. Various 32-bit timers, single or dual 10-bit ADC(s), 10-bit DAC, PWM channels and 45 fast GPIO lines with up to nine edge or level sensitive external interrupt pins make these microcontrollers particularly suitable for industrial control and medical systems. 1.2 Features • 16/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller in a tiny LQFP64 package. • 8 to 40 kB of on-chip static RAM and 32 to 512 kB of on-chip flash program memory. 128 bit wide interface/accelerator enables high speed 60 MHz operation. • In-System/In-Application Programming (ISP/IAP) via on-chip boot-loader software. Single flash sector or full chip erase in 400 ms and programming of 256 bytes in 1 ms. • EmbeddedICE RT and Embedded Trace interfaces offer real-time debugging with the on-chip RealMonitor software and high speed tracing of instruction execution. • USB 2.0 Full Speed compliant Device Controller with 2 kB of endpoint RAM.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 1: Introductory information Peripheral Bus (VPB, a compatible superset of ARM’s AMBA Advanced Peripheral Bus) for connection to on-chip peripheral functions. The LPC2141/24/6/8 configures the ARM7TDMI-S processor in little-endian byte order. AHB peripherals are allocated a 2 megabyte range of addresses at the very top of the 4 gigabyte ARM memory space. Each AHB peripheral is allocated a 16 kB address space within the AHB address space. LPC2141/2/4/6/8 peripheral functions (other than the interrupt controller) are connected to the VPB bus. The AHB to VPB bridge interfaces the VPB bus to the AHB bus. VPB peripherals are also allocated a 2 megabyte range of addresses, beginning at the 3.5 gigabyte address point. Each VPB peripheral is allocated a 16 kB address space within the VPB address space. The connection of on-chip peripherals to device pins is controlled by a Pin Connect Block (see chapter "Pin Connect Block" on page 75). This must be configured by software to fit specific application requirements for the use of peripheral functions and pins. 1.6 ARM7TDMI-S processor The ARM7TDMI-S is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor, which offers high performance and very low power consumption. The ARM architecture is based on Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, and the instruction set and related decode mechanism are much simpler than those of microprogrammed Complex Instruction Set Computers. This simplicity results in a high instruction throughput and impressive real-time interrupt response from a small and cost-effective processor core. Pipeline techniques are employed so that all parts of the processing and memory systems can operate continuously. Typically, while one instruction is being executed, its successor is being decoded, and a third instruction is being fetched from memory. The ARM7TDMI-S processor also employs a unique architectural strategy known as THUMB, which makes it ideally suited to high-volume applications with memory restrictions, or applications where code density is an issue. The key idea behind THUMB is that of a super-reduced instruction set. Essentially, the ARM7TDMI-S processor has two instruction sets: • The standard 32-bit ARM instruction set. • A 16-bit THUMB instruction set. The THUMB set’s 16-bit instruction length allows it to approach twice the density of standard ARM code while retaining most of the ARM’s performance advantage over a traditional 16-bit processor using 16-bit registers. This is possible because THUMB code operates on the same 32-bit register set as ARM code. THUMB code is able to provide up to 65% of the code size of ARM, and 160% of the performance of an equivalent ARM processor connected to a 16-bit memory system. The ARM7TDMI-S processor is described in detail in the ARM7TDMI-S Datasheet that can be found on official ARM website. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 1: Introductory information 1.7 On-chip Flash memory system The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 incorporate a 32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 256 kB, and 512 kB Flash memory system respectively. This memory may be used for both code and data storage. Programming of the Flash memory may be accomplished in several ways: over the serial built-in JTAG interface, using In System Programming (ISP) and UART0, or by means of In Application Programming (IAP) capabilities. The application program, using the IAP functions, may also erase and/or program the Flash while the application is running, allowing a great degree of flexibility for data storage field firmware upgrades, etc. When the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 on-chip bootloader is used, 32 kB, 64 kB, 128 kB, 256 kB, and 500 kB of Flash memory is available for user code. The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 Flash memory provides minimum of 100,000 erase/write cycles and 20 years of data-retention. 1.8 On-chip Static RAM (SRAM) On-chip Static RAM (SRAM) may be used for code and/or data storage. The on-chip SRAM may be accessed as 8-bits, 16-bits, and 32-bits. The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 provide 8/16/32 kB of static RAM respectively. The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 SRAM is designed to be accessed as a byte-addressed memory. Word and halfword accesses to the memory ignore the alignment of the address and access the naturally-aligned value that is addressed (so a memory access ignores address bits 0 and 1 for word accesses, and ignores bit 0 for halfword accesses). Therefore valid reads and writes require data accessed as halfwords to originate from addresses with address line 0 being 0 (addresses ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, A, C, and E in hexadecimal notation) and data accessed as words to originate from addresses with address lines 0 and 1 being 0 (addresses ending with 0, 4, 8, and C in hexadecimal notation). This rule applies to both off and on-chip memory usage. The SRAM controller incorporates a write-back buffer in order to prevent CPU stalls during back-to-back writes. The write-back buffer always holds the last data sent by software to the SRAM. This data is only written to the SRAM when another write is requested by software (the data is only written to the SRAM when software does another write). If a chip reset occurs, actual SRAM contents will not reflect the most recent write request (i.e. after a "warm" chip reset, the SRAM does not reflect the last write operation). Any software that checks SRAM contents after reset must take this into account. Two identical writes to a location guarantee that the data will be present after a Reset. Alternatively, a dummy write operation before entering idle or power-down mode will similarly guarantee that the last data written will be present in SRAM after a subsequent Reset. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 10. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 2: Memory map address decoding for each peripheral. All peripheral register addresses are word aligned (to 32-bit boundaries) regardless of their size. This eliminates the need for byte lane mapping hardware that would be required to allow byte (8-bit) or half-word (16-bit) accesses to occur at smaller boundaries. An implication of this is that word and half-word registers must be accessed all at once. For example, it is not possible to read or write the upper byte of a word register separately.

This is the address range for which code residing in that area is written. The bulk of each memory space remains permanently fixed in the same location, eliminating the need to have portions of the code designed to run in different address ranges. Because of the location of the interrupt vectors on the ARM7 processor (at addresses 0x0000 0000 through 0x0000 001C, as shown in Table 3 below), a small portion of the Boot Block and SRAM spaces need to be re-mapped in order to allow alternative uses of interrupts in the different operating modes described in Table 4. Re-mapping of the interrupts is accomplished via the Memory Mapping Control feature (Section 3.7 “Memory mapping control” on page 26). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Interrupt vectors are not re-mapped and are found in the bottom of the Flash memory. User RAM Software Activated by a User Program as desired. Interrupt vectors are mode activation by re-mapped to the bottom of the Static RAM. User program 2.2.2 Memory re-mapping In order to allow for compatibility with future derivatives, the entire Boot Block is mapped to the top of the on-chip memory space. In this manner, the use of larger or smaller flash modules will not require changing the location of the Boot Block (which would require changing the Boot Loader code itself) or changing the mapping of the Boot Block interrupt vectors. Memory spaces other than the interrupt vectors remain in fixed locations. Figure 5 shows the on-chip memory mapping in the modes defined above. The portion of memory that is re-mapped to allow interrupt processing in different modes includes the interrupt vector area (32 bytes) and an additional 32 bytes, for a total of 64 bytes. The re-mapped code locations overlay addresses 0x0000 0000 through 0x0000 003F. A typical user program in the Flash memory can place the entire FIQ handler at address 0x0000 001C without any need to consider memory boundaries. The vector contained in the SRAM, external memory, and Boot Block must contain branches to the actual interrupt handlers, or to other instructions that accomplish the branch to the interrupt handlers. There are three reasons this configuration was chosen: 1. To give the FIQ handler in the Flash memory the advantage of not having to take a memory boundary caused by the remapping into account. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 15. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 2: Memory map 2.3 Prefetch abort and data abort exceptions The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 generates the appropriate bus cycle abort exception if an access is attempted for an address that is in a reserved or unassigned address region. The regions are: • Areas of the memory map that are not implemented for a specific ARM derivative. For the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, this is: – Address space between On-Chip Non-Volatile Memory and On-Chip SRAM, labelled "Reserved Address Space" in Figure 2. For 32 kB Flash device this is memory address range from 0x0000 8000 to 0x3FFF FFFF, for 64 kB Flash device this is memory address range from 0x0001 0000 to 0x3FFF FFFF, for 128 kB Flash device this is memory address range from 0x0002 0000 to 0x3FFF FFFF, for 256 kB Flash device this is memory address range from 0x0004 0000 to 0x3FFF FFFF while for 512 kB Flash device this range is from 0x0008 0000 to 0x3FFF FFFF. – Address space between On-Chip Static RAM and the Boot Block. Labelled "Reserved Address Space" in Figure 2. For 8 kB SRAM device this is memory address range from 0x4000 2000 to 0x7FFF CFFF, for 16 kB SRAM device this is memory address range from 0x4000 4000 to 0x7FFF CFFF. For 32 kB SRAM device this range is from 0x4000 8000 to 0x7FCF FFFF where the 8 kB USB DMA RAM starts, and from 0x7FD0 2000 to 0x7FFF CFFF. – Address space between 0x8000 0000 and 0xDFFF FFFF, labelled "Reserved Adress Space". – Reserved regions of the AHB and VPB spaces. See Figure 3. • Unassigned AHB peripheral spaces. See Figure 4. • Unassigned VPB peripheral spaces. See Table 2. For these areas, both attempted data access and instruction fetch generate an exception. In addition, a Prefetch Abort exception is generated for any instruction fetch that maps to an AHB or VPB peripheral address. Within the address space of an existing VPB peripheral, a data abort exception is not generated in response to an access to an undefined address. Address decoding within each peripheral is limited to that needed to distinguish defined registers within the peripheral itself. For example, an access to address 0xE000 D000 (an undefined address within the UART0 space) may result in an access to the register defined at address 0xE000 C000. Details of such address aliasing within a peripheral space are not defined in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 documentation and are not a supported feature. Note that the ARM core stores the Prefetch Abort flag along with the associated instruction (which will be meaningless) in the pipeline and processes the abort only if an attempt is made to execute the instruction fetched from the illegal address. This prevents accidental aborts that could be caused by prefetches that occur when code is executed very near a memory boundary. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

If the on-chip PLL system or the boot-loader is used, the input clock frequency is limited to an exclusive range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz. The oscillator output frequency is called FOSC and the ARM processor clock frequency is referred to as CCLK for purposes of rate equations, etc. elsewhere in this document. FOSC and CCLK are the same value unless the PLL is running and connected. Refer to the Section 3.8 “Phase Locked Loop (PLL)” on page 27 for details and frequency limitations. The onboard oscillator in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 can operate in one of two modes: slave mode and oscillation mode. In slave mode the input clock signal should be coupled by means of a capacitor of 100 pF (CC in Figure 6, drawing a), with an amplitude of at least 200 mVrms. The X2 pin in this configuration can be left not connected. If slave mode is selected, the FOSC signal of 50-50 duty cycle can range from 1 MHz to 50 MHz. External components and models used in oscillation mode are shown in Figure 6, drawings b and c, and in Table 7. Since the feedback resistance is integrated on chip, only a crystal and the capacitances CX1 and CX2 need to be connected externally in case of fundamental mode oscillation (the fundamental frequency is represented by L, CL and RS). Capacitance CP in Figure 6, drawing c, represents the parallel package capacitance and should not be larger than 7 pF. Parameters FC, CL, RS and CP are supplied by the crystal manufacturer. Choosing an oscillation mode as an on-board oscillator mode of operation limits FOSC clock selection to 1 MHz to 30 MHz. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

FOSC selection algorithm 3.5 External interrupt inputs The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 includes four External Interrupt Inputs as selectable pin functions. The External Interrupt Inputs can optionally be used to wake up the processor from Power-down mode. 3.5.1 Register description The external interrupt function has four registers associated with it. The EXTINT register contains the interrupt flags, and the EXTWAKEUP register contains bits that enable individual external interrupts to wake up the microcontroller from Power-down mode. The EXTMODE and EXTPOLAR registers specify the level and edge sensitivity parameters.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 3: System Control Block Table 8: External interrupt registers Name Description Access Reset Address value[1] INTWAKE The Interrupt Wakeup Register contains four enable bits that control whether each external interrupt will cause the processor to wake up from Power-down mode. See Table 10. R/W 0 0xE01F C144 EXTMODE The External Interrupt Mode Register controls whether each pin is edge- or level sensitive. R/W 0 0xE01F C148 EXTPOLAR The External Interrupt Polarity Register controls R/W which level or edge on each pin will cause an interrupt. 0 0xE01F C14C [1] Reset value reflects the data stored in used bits only. It does not include reserved bits content. 3.5.2 External Interrupt Flag register (EXTINT - 0xE01F C140) When a pin is selected for its external interrupt function, the level or edge on that pin (selected by its bits in the EXTPOLAR and EXTMODE registers) will set its interrupt flag in this register. This asserts the corresponding interrupt request to the VIC, which will cause an interrupt if interrupts from the pin are enabled. Writing ones to bits EINT0 through EINT3 in EXTINT register clears the corresponding bits. In level-sensitive mode this action is efficacious only when the pin is in its inactive state. Once a bit from EINT0 to EINT3 is set and an appropriate code starts to execute (handling wakeup and/or external interrupt), this bit in EXTINT register must be cleared. Otherwise the event that was just triggered by activity on the EINT pin will not be recognized in the future. Important: whenever a change of external interrupt operating mode (i.e. active level/edge) is performed (including the initialization of an external interrupt), the corresponding bit in the EXTINT register must be cleared! For details see Section 3.5.4 “External Interrupt Mode register (EXTMODE - 0xE01F C148)” and Section 3.5.5 “External Interrupt Polarity register (EXTPOLAR - 0xE01F C14C)”. For example, if a system wakes up from power-down using a low level on external interrupt 0 pin, its post-wakeup code must reset the EINT0 bit in order to allow future entry into the power-down mode. If the EINT0 bit is left set to 1, subsequent attempt(s) to invoke power-down mode will fail. The same goes for external interrupt handling. More details on power-down mode will be discussed in the following chapters. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 21

In edge-sensitive mode, this bit is set if the EINT0 function is selected for its pin, and the selected edge occurs on the pin. Up to two pins can be selected to perform the EINT0 function (see P0.1 and P0.16 description in "Pin Configuration" chapter page 66.) This bit is cleared by writing a one to it, except in level sensitive mode when the pin is in its active state (e.g. if EINT0 is selected to be low level sensitive and a low level is present on the corresponding pin, this bit can not be cleared; this bit can be cleared only when the signal on the pin becomes high). 1 EINT1 In level-sensitive mode, this bit is set if the EINT1 function is selected for its pin, and the pin is in 0 its active state. In edge-sensitive mode, this bit is set if the EINT1 function is selected for its pin, and the selected edge occurs on the pin.

Up to three pins can be selected to perform the EINT3 function (see P0.9, P0.20 and P0.30 description in "Pin Configuration" chapter on page 66.) This bit is cleared by writing a one to it, except in level sensitive mode when the pin is in its active state (e.g. if EINT3 is selected to be low level sensitive and a low level is present on the corresponding pin, this bit can not be cleared; this bit can be cleared only when the signal on the pin becomes high). 7:4 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read from a reserved NA bit is not defined. 3.5.3 Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE - 0xE01F C144) Enable bits in the INTWAKE register allow the external interrupts and other sources to wake up the processor if it is in Power-down mode. The related EINTn function must be mapped to the pin in order for the wakeup process to take place. It is not necessary for the interrupt to be enabled in the Vectored Interrupt Controller for a wakeup to take place. This arrangement allows additional capabilities, such as having an external interrupt input wake up the processor from Power-down mode without causing an interrupt (simply resuming operation), or allowing an interrupt to be enabled during Power-down without waking the processor up if it is asserted (eliminating the need to disable the interrupt if the wakeup feature is not desirable in the application). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Note: Software should only change a bit in this register when its interrupt is disabled in the VICIntEnable register, and should write the corresponding 1 to the EXTINT register before enabling (initializing) or re-enabling the interrupt, to clear the EXTINT bit that could be set by changing the mode.

  • 25. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 3: System Control Block 3.5.6 Multiple external interrupt pins Software can select multiple pins for each of EINT3:0 in the Pin Select registers, which are described in chapter Pin Connect Block on page 75. The external interrupt logic for each of EINT3:0 receives the state of all of its associated pins from the pins’ receivers, along with signals that indicate whether each pin is selected for the EINT function. The external interrupt logic handles the case when more than one pin is so selected, differently according to the state of its Mode and Polarity bits: • In Low-Active Level Sensitive mode, the states of all pins selected for the same EINTx functionality are digitally combined using a positive logic AND gate. • In High-Active Level Sensitive mode, the states of all pins selected for the same EINTx functionality are digitally combined using a positive logic OR gate. • In Edge Sensitive mode, regardless of polarity, the pin with the lowest GPIO port number is used. (Selecting multiple pins for an EINTx in edge-sensitive mode could be considered a programming error.) The signal derived by this logic processing multiple external interrupt pins is the EINTi signal in the following logic schematic Figure 8. For example, if the EINT3 function is selected in the PINSEL0 and PINSEL1 registers for pins P0.9, P0.20 and P0.30, and EINT3 is configured to be low level sensitive, the inputs from all three pins will be logically ANDed. When more than one EINT pin is logically ORed, the interrupt service routine can read the states of the pins from the GPIO port using the IO0PIN and IO1PIN registers, to determine which pin(s) caused the interrupt.

For example, whenever a Software Interrupt request is generated, the ARM core will always fetch 32-bit data "residing" on 0x0000 0008 see Table 3 “ARM exception vector locations” on page 12. This means that when MEMMAP[1:0]=10 (User RAM Mode), a read/fetch from 0x0000 0008 will provide data stored in 0x4000 0008. In case of MEMMAP[1:0]=00 (Boot Loader Mode), a read/fetch from 0x0000 0008 will provide data available also at 0x7FFF E008 (Boot Block remapped from on-chip Bootloader). 3.8 Phase Locked Loop (PLL) There are two PLL modules in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 microcontroller. The PLL0 is used to generate the CCLK clock (system clock) while the PLL1 has to supply the clock for the USB at the fixed rate of 48 MHz. Structurally these two PLLs are identical with exception of the PLL interrupt capabilities reserved only for the PLL0. The PLL0 and PLL1 accept an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz only. The input frequency is multiplied up the range of 10 MHz to 60 MHz for the CCLK and 48 MHz for the USB clock using a Current Controlled Oscillators (CCO). The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32 (in practice, the multiplier value cannot be higher than 6 on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 due to the upper frequency limit of the CPU). The CCO operates in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz, so there is an additional divider in the loop to keep the CCO within its frequency range while the PLL is providing the desired output frequency. The output divider may be set to divide by 2, 4, 8, or 16 to produce the output clock. Since the minimum output divider value is 2, it is insured that the PLL output has a 50% duty cycle. A block diagram of the PLL is shown in Figure 9. PLL activation is controlled via the PLLCON register. The PLL multiplier and divider values are controlled by the PLLCFG register. These two registers are protected in order to prevent accidental alteration of PLL parameters or deactivation of the PLL. Since all chip operations, including the Watchdog Timer, are dependent on the PLL0 when it is providing the chip clock, accidental changes to the PLL setup could result in unexpected behavior of © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Otherwise, the oscillator clock is used directly by the microcontroller. See PLLSTAT register, Table 18. 7:2 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. NA The PLL must be set up, enabled, and Lock established before it may be used as a clock source. When switching from the oscillator clock to the PLL output or vice versa, internal circuitry synchronizes the operation in order to ensure that glitches are not generated. Hardware does not insure that the PLL is locked before it is connected or automatically disconnect the PLL if lock is lost during operation. In the event of loss of PLL lock, it is likely that the oscillator clock has become unstable and disconnecting the PLL will not remedy the situation. 3.8.3 PLL Configuration register (PLL0CFG - 0xE01F C084, PLL1CFG 0xE01F C0A4) The PLLCFG register contains the PLL multiplier and divider values. Changes to the PLLCFG register do not take effect until a correct PLL feed sequence has been given (see Section 3.8.7 “PLL Feed register (PLL0FEED - 0xE01F C08C, PLL1FEED 0xE01F C0AC)” on page 32).

PLLSTAT may disagree with values found in PLLCON and PLLCFG because changes to those registers do not take effect until a proper PLL feed has occurred (see Section 3.8.7 “PLL Feed register (PLL0FEED 0xE01F C08C, PLL1FEED - 0xE01F C0AC)”).

When PLLC and PLLE are both 0 one, the PLL is connected as the clock source for the microcontroller. When either PLLC or PLLE is zero, the PLL is bypassed and the oscillator clock is used directly by the microcontroller. This bit is automatically cleared when Power-down mode is activated. 10 PLOCK Reflects the PLL Lock status. When zero, the PLL is not locked. When one, the PLL is locked onto the requested frequency. 0 15:11 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. NA 3.8.5 PLL Interrupt The PLOCK bit in the PLLSTAT register is connected to the interrupt controller. This allows for software to turn on the PLL and continue with other functions without having to wait for the PLL to achieve lock. When the interrupt occurs (PLOCK = 1), the PLL may be connected, and the interrupt disabled. For details on how to enable and disable the PLL interrupt, see Section 5.4.4 “Interrupt Enable register (VICIntEnable - 0xFFFF F010)” on page 54 and Section 5.4.5 “Interrupt Enable Clear register (VICIntEnClear 0xFFFF F014)” on page 55. PLL interrupt is available only in PLL0, i.e. the PLL that generates the CCLK. USB dedicated PLL1 does not have this capability. 3.8.6 PLL Modes The combinations of PLLE and PLLC are shown in Table 19. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

The CCLK equals the unmodified clock input. This combination can not be used in case of the PLL1 since there will be no 48 MHz clock and the USB can not operate. 0 1 The PLL is active, but not yet connected. The PLL can be connected after PLOCK is asserted. 1 0 Same as 00 combination. This prevents the possibility of the PLL being connected without also being enabled. 1 1 The PLL is active and has been connected. CCLK/system clock is sourced from the PLL0 and the USB clock is sourced from the PLL1. 3.8.7 PLL Feed register (PLL0FEED - 0xE01F C08C, PLL1FEED 0xE01F C0AC) A correct feed sequence must be written to the PLLFEED register in order for changes to the PLLCON and PLLCFG registers to take effect. The feed sequence is: 1. Write the value 0xAA to PLLFEED. 2. Write the value 0x55 to PLLFEED. The two writes must be in the correct sequence, and must be consecutive VPB bus cycles. The latter requirement implies that interrupts must be disabled for the duration of the PLL feed operation. If either of the feed values is incorrect, or one of the previously mentioned conditions is not met, any changes to the PLLCON or PLLCFG register will not become effective.

Wakeup from Power-down mode does not automatically restore the PLL settings, this must be done in software. Typically, a routine to activate the PLL, wait for lock, and then connect the PLL can be called at the beginning of any interrupt service routine that might be called due to the wakeup. It is important not to attempt to restart the PLL by simply feeding it when execution resumes after a wakeup from Power-down mode. This would enable and connect the PLL at the same time, before PLL lock is established. If activity on the USB data lines is not selected to wake up the microcontroller from Power-down mode (see Section 3.5.3 “Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE 0xE01F C144)” on page 22), both the system and the USB PLL will be automatically be turned off and disconnected when Power-down mode is invoked, as described above. However, in case USBWAKE = 1 and USB_need_clock = 1 it is not possible to go into Power-down mode and any attempt to set the PD bit will fail, leaving the PLLs in the current state. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 3: System Control Block 3.8.9 PLL frequency calculation The PLL equations use the following parameters: Table 21: Elements determining PLL’s frequency Element Description FOSC the frequency from the crystal oscillator/external oscillator FCCO the frequency of the PLL current controlled oscillator CCLK the PLL output frequency (also the processor clock frequency) M PLL Multiplier value from the MSEL bits in the PLLCFG register P PLL Divider value from the PSEL bits in the PLLCFG register The PLL output frequency (when the PLL is both active and connected) is given by: CCLK = M × FOSC or CCLK = FCCO / (2 × P) The CCO frequency can be computed as: FCCO = CCLK × 2 × P or FCCO = FOSC × M × 2 × P The PLL inputs and settings must meet the following: • FOSC is in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz. • CCLK is in the range of 10 MHz to Fmax (the maximum allowed frequency for the microcontroller - determined by the system microcontroller is embedded in). • FCCO is in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz. 3.8.10 Procedure for determining PLL settings If a particular application uses the PLL0, its configuration may be determined as follows: 1. Choose the desired processor operating frequency (CCLK). This may be based on processor throughput requirements, need to support a specific set of UART baud rates, etc. Bear in mind that peripheral devices may be running from a lower clock than the processor (see Section 3.11 “VPB divider” on page 40). 2. Choose an oscillator frequency (FOSC). CCLK must be the whole (non-fractional) multiple of FOSC. 3. Calculate the value of M to configure the MSEL bits. M = CCLK / FOSC. M must be in the range of 1 to 32. The value written to the MSEL bits in PLLCFG is M − 1 (see Table 23. 4. Find a value for P to configure the PSEL bits, such that FCCO is within its defined frequency limits. FCCO is calculated using the equation given above. P must have one of the values 1, 2, 4, or 8. The value written to the PSEL bits in PLLCFG is 00 for P = 1; 01 for P = 2; 10 for P = 4; 11 for P = 8 (see Table 22). Important: if a particular application is using the USB peripheral, the PLL1 must be configured since this is the only available source of the 48 MHz clock required by the USB. This limits the selection of FOSC to either 12 MHz, 16 MHz or 24 MHz. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 33

Based on these specifications, M = CCLK / Fosc = 60 MHz / 10 MHz = 6. Consequently, M - 1 = 5 will be written as PLLCFG[4:0]. Value for P can be derived from P = FCCO / (CCLK x 2), using condition that FCCO must be in range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz. Assuming the lowest allowed frequency for FCCO = 156 MHz, P = 156 MHz / (2 x 60 MHz) = 1.3. The highest FCCO frequency criteria produces P = 2.67. The only solution for P that satisfies both of these requirements and is listed in Table 22 is P = 2. Therefore, PLLCFG[6:5] = 1 will be used. Example 2: an application using the USB - configuring the PLL1 System design asks for FOSC= 12 MHz and requires the USB clock of 48 MHz. Based on these specifications, M = 48 MHz / Fosc = 48 MHz / 12 MHz = 4. Consequently, M - 1 = 3 will be written as PLLCFG[4:0]. Value for P can be derived from P = FCCO / (48 MHz x 2), using condition that FCCO must be in range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz. Assuming the lowest allowed frequency for FCCO = 156 MHz, P = 156 MHz / (2 x 48 MHz) = 1.625. The highest FCCO frequency criteria produces P = 3.33. Solution for P that satisfy both of these requirements and are listed in Table 22 are P = 2 and P = 3. Therefore, either of these two values can be used to program PLLCFG[6:5] in the PLL1. Example 2 has illustrated the way PLL1 should be configured. Since PLL0 and PLL1 are independent, the PLL0 can be configured using the approach described in Example 1. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 35. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 3: System Control Block 3.9 Power control The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 supports two reduced power modes: Idle mode and Power-down mode. In Idle mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a Reset or interrupt occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during Idle mode and may generate interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution. Idle mode eliminates power used by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal buses. In Power-down mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives no internal clocks. The processor state and registers, peripheral registers, and internal SRAM values are preserved throughout Power-down mode and the logic levels of chip pins remain static. The Power-down mode can be terminated and normal operation resumed by either a Reset or certain specific interrupts that are able to function without clocks. Since all dynamic operation of the chip is suspended, Power-down mode reduces chip power consumption to nearly zero. Entry to Power-down and Idle modes must be coordinated with program execution. Wakeup from Power-down or Idle modes via an interrupt resumes program execution in such a way that no instructions are lost, incomplete, or repeated. Wake up from Power-down mode is discussed further in Section 3.12 “Wakeup timer” on page 41. A Power Control for Peripherals feature allows individual peripherals to be turned off if they are not needed in the application, resulting in additional power savings. 3.9.1 Register description The Power Control function contains two registers, as shown in Table 24. More detailed descriptions follow. Table 24: Power control registers Name Description Access Reset value[1] PCON Power Control Register. This register contains R/W control bits that enable the two reduced power operating modes of the microcontroller. See Table 25. 0x00 PCONP Power Control for Peripherals Register.

Writing a one to the corresponding bit causes entry to either the Power-down or Idle mode. If both bits are set, Power-down mode is entered. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Any enabled interrupt from a peripheral or an external interrupt source will cause the processor to resume execution. 0 1 PD Power-down mode - when 1, this bit causes the oscillator and all on-chip clocks to be stopped. A wakeup condition from an external interrupt can cause the oscillator to restart, the PD bit to be cleared, and the processor to resume execution. 0 IMPORTANT: PD bit can be set to 1 at any time if USBWAKE = 0. In case of USBWAKE = 1, it is possible to set PD to 1 only if USB_need_clock = 0. Having both USBWAKE and USB_need_clock equal 1 prevents the microcontroller from entering Power-down mode. (For additional details see Section 3.5.3 “Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE - 0xE01F C144)” on page 22 and Section 14.7.1 “USB Interrupt Status register (USBIntSt 0xE01F C1C0)” on page 200) 2 PDBOD 3 BODPDM When this bit is 1, the BOD circuitry will go into power down mode when 0 chip power down is asserted, resulting in a further reduction in power. However, the possibility of using BOD as a wakeup source from Power Down mode will be lost. When this bit is 0, BOD stays active during Power Down mode. 4 BOGD Brown Out Global Disable. When this bit is 1, the BOD circuitry is fully disabled at all times, and will not consume power. When 0, the BOD circuitry is enabled. 0 5 BORD Brown Out Reset Disable. When this bit is 1, the second stage of low voltage detection (2.6 V) will not cause a chip reset. When BORD is 0, the reset is enabled. The first stage of low voltage detection (2.9 V) Brown Out interrupt is not affected. 0 7:6 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. NA [1] When PD is 1 and this bit is 0, Brown Out Detection (BOD) remains 0 operative during Power-down mode, such that its Reset can release the microcontroller from Power-down mode[1]. When PD and this bit are both 1, the BOD circuit is disabled during Power-down mode to conserve power. When PD is 0, the state of this bit has no effect. Since execution is delayed until after the Wakeup Timer has allowed the main oscillator to resume stable operation, there is no guarantee that execution will resume before VDD has fallen below the lower BOD threshold, which prevents execution. If execution does resume, there is no guarantee of how long the microcontroller will continue execution before the lower BOD threshold terminates execution. These issues depend on the slope of the decline of VDD. High decoupling capacitance (between VDD and ground) in the vicinity of the microcontroller will improve the likelihood that software will be able to do what needs to be done when power is being lost. 3.9.3 Power Control for Peripherals register (PCONP - 0xE01F COC4) The PCONP register allows turning off selected peripheral functions for the purpose of saving power. This is accomplished by gating off the clock source to the specified peripheral blocks. A few peripheral functions cannot be turned off (i.e. the Watchdog timer, GPIO, the Pin Connect block, and the System Control block). Some peripherals, particularly those that include analog functions, may consume power that is not clock dependent.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 3: System Control Block 3.9.4 Power control usage notes After every reset, the PCONP register contains the value that enables all interfaces and peripherals controlled by the PCONP to be enabled. Therefore, apart from proper configuring via peripheral dedicated registers, the user’s application has no need to access the PCONP in order to start using any of the on-board peripherals. Power saving oriented systems should have 1s in the PCONP register only in positions that match peripherals really used in the application. All other bits, declared to be "Reserved" or dedicated to the peripherals not used in the current application, must be cleared to 0. 3.10 Reset Reset has two sources on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8: the RESET pin and Watchdog Reset. The RESET pin is a Schmitt trigger input pin with an additional glitch filter. Assertion of chip Reset by any source starts the Wakeup Timer (see description in Section 3.12 “Wakeup timer” in this chapter), causing reset to remain asserted until the external Reset is de-asserted, the oscillator is running, a fixed number of clocks have passed, and the on-chip circuitry has completed its initialization. The relationship between Reset, the oscillator, and the Wakeup Timer are shown in Figure 10. The Reset glitch filter allows the processor to ignore external reset pulses that are very short, and also determines the minimum duration of RESET that must be asserted in order to guarantee a chip reset. Once asserted, RESET pin can be deasserted only when crystal oscillator is fully running and an adequate signal is present on the X1 pin of the microcontroller. Assuming that an external crystal is used in the crystal oscillator subsystem, after power on, the RESET pin should be asserted for 10 ms. For all subsequent resets when crystal oscillator is already running and stable signal is on the X1 pin, the RESET pin needs to be asserted for 300 ns only. When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which is initially the Reset vector mapped from the Boot Block. At that point, all of the processor and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values. External and internal Resets have some small differences. An external Reset causes the value of certain pins to be latched to configure the part. External circuitry cannot determine when an internal Reset occurs in order to allow setting up those special pins, so those latches are not reloaded during an internal Reset. Pins that are examined during an external Reset for various purposes are: P1.20/TRACESYNC, P1.26/RTCK (see chapters "Pin Configuration" on page 66 and "Pin Connect Block" on page 75). Pin P0.14 (see "Flash Memory System and Programming" chapter on page 291) is examined by on-chip bootloader when this code is executed after every Reset. It is possible for a chip Reset to occur during a Flash programming or erase operation. The Flash memory will interrupt the ongoing operation and hold off the completion of Reset to the CPU until internal Flash high voltages have settled. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

The VPB Divider serves two purposes. The first is to provides peripherals with desired PCLK via VPB bus so that they can operate at the speed chosen for the ARM processor. In order to achieve this, the VPB bus may be slowed down to one half or one fourth of the processor clock rate. Because the VPB bus must work properly at power up (and its timing cannot be altered if it does not work since the VPB divider control registers reside on the VPB bus), the default condition at reset is for the VPB bus to run at one quarter speed. The second purpose of the VPB Divider is to allow power savings when an application does not require any peripherals to run at the full processor rate. The connection of the VPB Divider relative to the oscillator and the processor clock is shown in Figure 11. Because the VPB Divider is connected to the PLL output, the PLL remains active (if it was running) during Idle mode. 3.11.1 Register description Only one register is used to control the VPB Divider.

VPB divider connections 3.12 Wakeup timer The purpose of the wakeup timer is to ensure that the oscillator and other analog functions required for chip operation are fully functional before the processor is allowed to execute instructions. This is important at power on, all types of Reset, and whenever any of the aforementioned functions are turned off for any reason. Since the oscillator and other functions are turned off during Power-down mode, any wakeup of the processor from Power-down mode makes use of the Wakeup Timer. The Wakeup Timer monitors the crystal oscillator as the means of checking whether it is safe to begin code execution. When power is applied to the chip, or some event caused the chip to exit Power-down mode, some time is required for the oscillator to produce a signal of sufficient amplitude to drive the clock logic. The amount of time depends on many factors, including the rate of VDD ramp (in the case of power on), the type of crystal and its electrical characteristics (if a quartz crystal is used), as well as any other external circuitry (e.g. capacitors), and the characteristics of the oscillator itself under the existing ambient conditions. Once a clock is detected, the Wakeup Timer counts 4096 clocks, then enables the on-chip circuitry to initialize. When the onboard modules initialization is complete, the processor is released to execute instructions if the external Reset has been deasserted. In the case where an external clock source is used in the system (as opposed to a crystal connected to the oscillator pins), the possibility that there could be little or no delay for oscillator start-up must be considered. The Wakeup Timer design then ensures that any other required chip functions will be operational prior to the beginning of program execution. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 42. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 3: System Control Block Any of the various Resets can bring the microcontroller out of power-down mode, as can the external interrupts EINT3:0, plus the RTC interrupt if the RTC is operating from its own oscillator on the RTCX1-2 pins. When one of these interrupts is enabled for wakeup and its selected event occurs, an oscillator wakeup cycle is started. The actual interrupt (if any) occurs after the wakeup timer expires, and is handled by the Vectored Interrupt Controller. However, the pin multiplexing on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 (see chapters "Pin Configuration" on page 66 and "Pin Connect Block" on page 75) was designed to allow other peripherals to, in effect, bring the device out of Power-down mode. The following pin-function pairings allow interrupts from events relating to UART0 or 1, SPI 0 or 1, or the I2C: RxD0 / EINT0, SDA / EINT1, SSEL0 / EINT2, RxD1 / EINT3, DCD1 / EINT1, RI1 / EINT2, SSEL1 / EINT3. To put the device in Power-down mode and allow activity on one or more of these buses or lines to power it back up, software should reprogram the pin function to External Interrupt, select the appropriate mode and polarity for the Interrupt, and then select Power-down mode. Upon wakeup software should restore the pin multiplexing to the peripheral function. All of the bus- or line-activity indications in the list above happen to be low-active. If software wants the device to come out of power -down mode in response to activity on more than one pin that share the same EINTi channel, it should program low-level sensitivity for that channel, because only in level mode will the channel logically OR the signals to wake the device. The only flaw in this scheme is that the time to restart the oscillator prevents the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 from capturing the bus or line activity that wakes it up. Idle mode is more appropriate than power-down mode for devices that must capture and respond to external activity in a timely manner. To summarize: on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, the Wakeup Timer enforces a minimum reset duration based on the crystal oscillator, and is activated whenever there is a wakeup from Power-down mode or any type of Reset. 3.13 Brown-out detection The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 includes 2-stage monitoring of the voltage on the VDD pins. If this voltage falls below 2.9 V, the Brown-Out Detector (BOD) asserts an interrupt signal to the Vectored Interrupt Controller. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable register (see Section 5.4.4 “Interrupt Enable register (VICIntEnable 0xFFFF F010)” on page 54); if not, software can monitor the signal by reading the Raw Interrupt Status register (see Section 5.4.3 “Raw Interrupt status register (VICRawIntr 0xFFFF F008)” on page 54). The second stage of low-voltage detection asserts Reset to inactivate the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 when the voltage on the VDD pins falls below 2.6 V. This Reset prevents alteration of the Flash as operation of the various elements of the chip would otherwise become unreliable due to low voltage. The BOD circuit maintains this reset down below 1 V, at which point the Power-On Reset circuitry maintains the overall Reset. Both the 2.9 V and 2.6 V thresholds include some hysteresis. In normal operation, this hysteresis allows the 2.9 V detection to reliably interrupt, or a regularly-executed event loop to sense the condition. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 43. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 3: System Control Block But when Brown-Out Detection is enabled to bring the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 out of Power-Down mode (which is itself not a guaranteed operation -- see Section 3.9.2 “Power Control register (PCON - 0xE01F COCO)”), the supply voltage may recover from a transient before the Wakeup Timer has completed its delay. In this case, the net result of the transient BOD is that the part wakes up and continues operation after the instructions that set Power-Down Mode, without any interrupt occurring and with the BOD bit in the RISR being 0. Since all other wakeup conditions have latching flags (see Section 3.5.2 “External Interrupt Flag register (EXTINT - 0xE01F C140)” and Section 19.4.3 “Interrupt Location Register (ILR - 0xE002 4000)” on page 277), a wakeup of this type, without any apparent cause, can be assumed to be a Brown-Out that has gone away. 3.14 Code security vs. debugging Applications in development typically need the debugging and tracing facilities in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8. Later in the life cycle of an application, it may be more important to protect the application code from observation by hostile or competitive eyes. The following feature of the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 allows an application to control whether it can be debugged or protected from observation.

  • 44. UM10139 Chapter 4: Memory Acceleration Module (MAM) Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual 4.1 Introduction The MAM block in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 maximizes the performance of the ARM processor when it is running code in Flash memory, but does so using a single Flash bank. 4.2 Operation Simply put, the Memory Accelerator Module (MAM) attempts to have the next ARM instruction that will be needed in its latches in time to prevent CPU fetch stalls. The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 uses one bank of Flash memory, compared to the two banks used on predecessor devices. It includes three 128-bit buffers called the Prefetch Buffer, the Branch Trail Buffer and the Data Buffer. When an Instruction Fetch is not satisfied by either the Prefetch or Branch Trail buffer, nor has a prefetch been initiated for that line, the ARM is stalled while a fetch is initiated for the 128-bit line. If a prefetch has been initiated but not yet completed, the ARM is stalled for a shorter time. Unless aborted by a data access, a prefetch is initiated as soon as the Flash has completed the previous access. The prefetched line is latched by the Flash module, but the MAM does not capture the line in its prefetch buffer until the ARM core presents the address from which the prefetch has been made. If the core presents a different address from the one from which the prefetch has been made, the prefetched line is discarded. The Prefetch and Branch Trail Buffers each include four 32-bit ARM instructions or eight 16-bit Thumb instructions. During sequential code execution, typically the prefetch buffer contains the current instruction and the entire Flash line that contains it. The MAM uses the LPROT[0] line to differentiate between instruction and data accesses. Code and data accesses use separate 128-bit buffers. 3 of every 4 sequential 32-bit code or data accesses "hit" in the buffer without requiring a Flash access (7 of 8 sequential 16-bit accesses, 15 of every 16 sequential byte accesses). The fourth (eighth, 16th) sequential data access must access Flash, aborting any prefetch in progress. When a Flash data access is concluded, any prefetch that had been in progress is re-initiated. Timing of Flash read operations is programmable and is described later in this section. In this manner, there is no code fetch penalty for sequential instruction execution when the CPU clock period is greater than or equal to one fourth of the Flash access time. The average amount of time spent doing program branches is relatively small (less than 25%) and may be minimized in ARM (rather than Thumb) code through the use of the conditional execution feature present in all ARM instructions. This conditional execution may often be used to avoid small forward branches that would otherwise be necessary. Branches and other program flow changes cause a break in the sequential flow of instruction fetches described above. The Branch Trail Buffer captures the line to which such a non-sequential break occurs. If the same branch is taken again, the next instruction is taken from the Branch Trail Buffer.

  • 45. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 4: MAM Module the Prefetch and Branch Trail Buffer is taken, a stall of several clocks is needed to load the Branch Trail Buffer. Subsequently, there will typically be no further instructionfetch delays until a new and different branch occurs. 4.3 MAM blocks The Memory Accelerator Module is divided into several functional blocks: • • • • • • A Flash Address Latch and an incrementor function to form prefetch addresses A 128-bit Prefetch Buffer and an associated Address latch and comparator A 128-bit Branch Trail Buffer and an associated Address latch and comparator A 128-bit Data Buffer and an associated Address latch and comparator Control logic Wait logic Figure 12 shows a simplified block diagram of the Memory Accelerator Module data paths. In the following descriptions, the term “fetch” applies to an explicit Flash read request from the ARM. “Pre-fetch” is used to denote a Flash read of instructions beyond the current processor fetch address. 4.3.1 Flash memory bank There is one bank of Flash memory with the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 MAM. Flash programming operations are not controlled by the MAM, but are handled as a separate function. A “boot block” sector contains Flash programming algorithms that may be called as part of the application program, and a loader that may be run to allow serial programming of the Flash memory.

  • 46. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 4: MAM Module 4.3.2 Instruction latches and data latches Code and Data accesses are treated separately by the Memory Accelerator Module. There is a 128-bit Latch, a 15-bit Address Latch, and a 15-bit comparator associated with each buffer (prefetch, branch trail, and data). Each 128-bit latch holds 4 words (4 ARM instructions, or 8 Thumb instructions). Also associated with each buffer are 32 4:1 Multiplexers that select the requested word from the 128-bit line. Each Data access that is not in the Data latch causes a Flash fetch of 4 words of data, which are captured in the Data latch. This speeds up sequential Data operations, but has little or no effect on random accesses. 4.3.3 Flash programming Issues Since the Flash memory does not allow accesses during programming and erase operations, it is necessary for the MAM to force the CPU to wait if a memory access to a Flash address is requested while the Flash module is busy. (This is accomplished by asserting the ARM7TDMI-S local bus signal CLKEN.) Under some conditions, this delay could result in a Watchdog time-out. The user will need to be aware of this possibility and take steps to insure that an unwanted Watchdog reset does not cause a system failure while programming or erasing the Flash memory. In order to preclude the possibility of stale data being read from the Flash memory, the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 MAM holding latches are automatically invalidated at the beginning of any Flash programming or erase operation. Any subsequent read from a Flash address will cause a new fetch to be initiated after the Flash operation has completed. 4.4 MAM operating modes Three modes of operation are defined for the MAM, trading off performance for ease of predictability: Mode 0: MAM off. All memory requests result in a Flash read operation (see note 2 below). There are no instruction prefetches. Mode 1: MAM partially enabled. Sequential instruction accesses are fulfilled from the holding latches if the data is present. Instruction prefetch is enabled. Non-sequential instruction accesses initiate Flash read operations (see note 2 below). This means that all branches cause memory fetches. All data operations cause a Flash read because buffered data access timing is hard to predict and is very situation dependent. Mode 2: MAM fully enabled. Any memory request (code or data) for a value that is contained in one of the corresponding holding latches is fulfilled from the latch. Instruction prefetch is enabled. Flash read operations are initiated for instruction prefetch and code or data values not available in the corresponding holding latches. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

This allows most of an application to be run at the highest possible performance, while certain functions can be run at a somewhat slower but more predictable rate if more precise timing is required. 4.6 Register description All registers, regardless of size, are on word address boundaries.

The programmable assignment scheme means that priorities of interrupts from the various peripherals can be dynamically assigned and adjusted. Fast Interrupt reQuest (FIQ) requests have the highest priority. If more than one request is assigned to FIQ, the VIC ORs the requests to produce the FIQ signal to the ARM processor. The fastest possible FIQ latency is achieved when only one request is classified as FIQ, because then the FIQ service routine can simply start dealing with that device. But if more than one request is assigned to the FIQ class, the FIQ service routine can read a word from the VIC that identifies which FIQ source(s) is (are) requesting an interrupt. Vectored IRQs have the middle priority, but only 16 of the 32 requests can be assigned to this category. Any of the 32 requests can be assigned to any of the 16 vectored IRQ slots, among which slot 0 has the highest priority and slot 15 has the lowest. Non-vectored IRQs have the lowest priority. The VIC ORs the requests from all the vectored and non-vectored IRQs to produce the IRQ signal to the ARM processor. The IRQ service routine can start by reading a register from the VIC and jumping there. If any of the vectored IRQs are requesting, the VIC provides the address of the highest-priority requesting IRQs service routine, otherwise it provides the address of a default routine that is shared by all the non-vectored IRQs. The default routine can read another VIC register to see what IRQs are active. All registers in the VIC are word registers. Byte and halfword reads and write are not supported. Additional information on the Vectored Interrupt Controller is available in the ARM PrimeCell™ Vectored Interrupt Controller (PL190) documentation. 5.3 Register description The VIC implements the registers shown in Table 35.

  • 61. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 5: VIC 5.6 Spurious interrupts Spurious interrupts are possible in the ARM7TDMI based microcontrollers such as the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 due to asynchronous interrupt handling. The asynchronous character of the interrupt processing has its roots in the interaction of the core and the VIC. If the VIC state is changed between the moments when the core detects an interrupt, and the core actually processes an interrupt, problems may be generated. Real-life applications may experience the following scenarios: 1. VIC decides there is an IRQ interrupt and sends the IRQ signal to the core. 2. Core latches the IRQ state. 3. Processing continues for a few cycles due to pipelining. 4. Core loads IRQ address from VIC. Furthermore, It is possible that the VIC state has changed during step 3. For example, VIC was modified so that the interrupt that triggered the sequence starting with step 1) is no longer pending -interrupt got disabled in the executed code. In this case, the VIC will not be able to clearly identify the interrupt that generated the interrupt request, and as a result the VIC will return the default interrupt VicDefVectAddr (0xFFFF F034). This potentially disastrous chain of events can be prevented in two ways: 1. Application code should be set up in a way to prevent the spurious interrupts from occurring. Simple guarding of changes to the VIC may not be enough since, for example, glitches on level sensitive interrupts can also cause spurious interrupts. 2. VIC default handler should be set up and tested properly. 5.6.1 Details and case studies on spurious interrupts This chapter contains details that can be obtained from the official ARM website (http://www.arm.com), FAQ section under the "Technical Support" link: http://www.arm.com/support/faqip/3677.html. What happens if an interrupt occurs as it is being disabled? Applies to: ARM7TDMI If an interrupt is received by the core during execution of an instruction that disables interrupts, the ARM7 family will still take the interrupt. This occurs for both IRQ and FIQ interrupts. For example, consider the following instruction sequence: MRS r0, cpsr ORR r0, r0, #I_Bit:OR:F_Bit MSR cpsr_c, r0 ;disable IRQ and FIQ interrupts If an IRQ interrupt is received during execution of the MSR instruction, then the behavior will be as follows: • The IRQ interrupt is latched. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 61
  • 62. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 5: VIC • The MSR cpsr, r0 executes to completion setting both the I bit and the F bit in the CPSR. • The IRQ interrupt is taken because the core was committed to taking the interrupt exception before the I bit was set in the CPSR. • The CPSR (with the I bit and F bit set) is moved to the SPSR_IRQ. This means that, on entry to the IRQ interrupt service routine, you can see the unusual effect that an IRQ interrupt has just been taken while the I bit in the SPSR is set. In the example above, the F bit will also be set in both the CPSR and SPSR. This means that FIQs are disabled upon entry to the IRQ service routine, and will remain so until explicitly re-enabled. FIQs will not be reenabled automatically by the IRQ return sequence. Although the example shows both IRQ and FIQ interrupts being disabled, similar behavior occurs when only one of the two interrupt types is being disabled. The fact that the core processes the IRQ after completion of the MSR instruction which disables IRQs does not normally cause a problem, since an interrupt arriving just one cycle earlier would be expected to be taken. When the interrupt routine returns with an instruction like: SUBS pc, lr, #4 the SPSR_IRQ is restored to the CPSR. The CPSR will now have the I bit and F bit set, and therefore execution will continue with all interrupts disabled. However, this can cause problems in the following cases: Problem 1: A particular routine maybe called as an IRQ handler, or as a regular subroutine. In the latter case, the system guarantees that IRQs would have been disabled prior to the routine being called. The routine exploits this restriction to determine how it was called (by examining the I bit of the SPSR), and returns using the appropriate instruction. If the routine is entered due to an IRQ being received during execution of the MSR instruction which disables IRQs, then the I bit in the SPSR will be set. The routine would therefore assume that it could not have been entered via an IRQ. Problem 2: FIQs and IRQs are both disabled by the same write to the CPSR. In this case, if an IRQ is received during the CPSR write, FIQs will be disabled for the execution time of the IRQ handler. This may not be acceptable in a system where FIQs must not be disabled for more than a few cycles. 5.6.2 Workaround There are 3 suggested workarounds. Which of these is most applicable will depend upon the requirements of the particular system. 5.6.3 Solution 1: test for an IRQ received during a write to disable IRQs Add code similar to the following at the start of the interrupt routine. SUB STMFD MRS TST LDMNEFD lr, lr, #4 sp!, {..., lr} lr, SPSR lr, #I_Bit sp!, {..., pc}^ ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Adjust LR to point to return Get some free regs See if we got an interrupt while interrupts were disabled. If so, just return immediately. The interrupt will remain pending since we haven’t acknowledged it and will be reissued when interrupts © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 63. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 5: VIC ; are next enabled. ; Rest of interrupt routine This code will test for the situation where the IRQ was received during a write to disable IRQs. If this is the case, the code returns immediately - resulting in the IRQ not being acknowledged (cleared), and further IRQs being disabled. Similar code may also be applied to the FIQ handler, in order to resolve the first issue. This is the recommended workaround, as it overcomes both problems mentioned above. However, in the case of problem two, it does add several cycles to the maximum length of time FIQs will be disabled. 5.6.4 Solution 2: disable IRQs and FIQs using separate writes to the CPSR MRS ORR MSR ORR MSR r0, cpsr r0, r0, #I_Bit cpsr_c, r0 r0, r0, #F_Bit cpsr_c, r0 ;disable IRQs ;disable FIQs This is the best workaround where the maximum time for which FIQs are disabled is critical (it does not increase this time at all). However, it does not solve problem one, and requires extra instructions at every point where IRQs and FIQs are disabled together. 5.6.5 Solution 3: re-enable FIQs at the beginning of the IRQ handler As the required state of all bits in the c field of the CPSR are known, this can be most efficiently be achieved by writing an immediate value to CPSR_C, for example: MSR cpsr_c, #I_Bit:OR:irq_MODE ;IRQ should be disabled ;FIQ enabled ;ARM state, IRQ mode This requires only the IRQ handler to be modified, and FIQs may be re-enabled more quickly than by using workaround 1. However, this should only be used if the system can guarantee that FIQs are never disabled while IRQs are enabled. It does not address problem one. 5.7 VIC usage notes If user code is running from an on-chip RAM and an application uses interrupts, interrupt vectors must be re-mapped to on-chip address 0x0. This is necessary because all the exception vectors are located at addresses 0x0 and above. This is easily achieved by configuring the MEMMAP register (see Section 3.7.1 “Memory Mapping control register (MEMMAP - 0xE01F C040)” on page 26) to User RAM mode. Application code should be linked such that at 0x4000 0000 the Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) will reside. Although multiple sources can be selected (VICIntSelect) to generate FIQ request, only one interrupt service routine should be dedicated to service all available/present FIQ request(s). Therefore, if more than one interrupt sources are classified as FIQ the FIQ interrupt service routine must read VICFIQStatus to decide based on this content what to © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 64. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 5: VIC do and how to process the interrupt request. However, it is recommended that only one interrupt source should be classified as FIQ. Classifying more than one interrupt sources as FIQ will increase the interrupt latency. Following the completion of the desired interrupt service routine, clearing of the interrupt flag on the peripheral level will propagate to corresponding bits in VIC registers (VICRawIntr, VICFIQStatus and VICIRQStatus). Also, before the next interrupt can be serviced, it is necessary that write is performed into the VICVectAddr register before the return from interrupt is executed. This write will clear the respective interrupt flag in the internal interrupt priority hardware. In order to disable the interrupt at the VIC you need to clear corresponding bit in the VICIntEnClr register, which in turn clears the related bit in the VICIntEnable register. This also applies to the VICSoftInt and VICSoftIntClear in which VICSoftIntClear will clear the respective bits in VICSoftInt. For example, if VICSoftInt = 0x0000 0005 and bit 0 has to be cleared, VICSoftIntClear = 0x0000 0001 will accomplish this. Before the new clear operation on the same bit in VICSoftInt using writing into VICSoftIntClear is performed in the future, VICSoftIntClear = 0x0000 0000 must be assigned. Therefore writing 1 to any bit in Clear register will have one-time-effect in the destination register. If the watchdog is enabled for interrupt on underflow or invalid feed sequence only then there is no way of clearing the interrupt. The only way you could perform return from interrupt is by disabling the interrupt at the VIC (using VICIntEnClr). Example: Assuming that UART0 and SPI0 are generating interrupt requests that are classified as vectored IRQs (UART0 being on the higher level than SPI0), while UART1 and I2C are generating non-vectored IRQs, the following could be one possibility for VIC setup: VICIntSelect = 0x0000 0000 VICIntEnable = 0x0000 06C0 VICDefVectAddr = 0x... VICVectAddr0 = 0x... VICVectAddr1 = 0x... VICVectCntl0 = 0x0000 0026 VICVectCntl1 = 0x0000 002A ; SPI0, I2C, UART1 and UART0 are IRQ => ; bit10, bit9, bit7 and bit6=0 ; SPI0, I2C, UART1 and UART0 are enabled interrupts => ; bit10, bit9, bit 7 and bit6=1 ; holds address at what routine for servicing ; non-vectored IRQs (i.e. UART1 and I2C) starts ; holds address where UART0 IRQ service routine starts ; holds address where SPI0 IRQ service routine starts ; interrupt source with index 6 (UART0) is enabled as ; the one with priority 0 (the highest) ; interrupt source with index 10 (SPI0) is enabled ; as the one with priority 1 After any of IRQ requests (SPI0, I2C, UART0 or UART1) is made, microcontroller will redirect code execution to the address specified at location 0x0000 0018. For vectored and non-vectored IRQ’s the following instruction could be placed at 0x0000 0018: LDR pc, [pc,#-0xFF0] This instruction loads PC with the address that is present in VICVectAddr register. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 75. UM10139 Chapter 7: Pin Connect Block Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual 7.1 Features • Allows individual pin configuration. 7.2 Applications The purpose of the Pin Connect Block is to configure the microcontroller pins to the desired functions. 7.3 Description The pin connect block allows selected pins of the microcontroller to have more than one function. Configuration registers control the multiplexers to allow connection between the pin and the on chip peripherals. Peripherals should be connected to the appropriate pins prior to being activated, and prior to any related interrupt(s) being enabled. Activity of any enabled peripheral function that is not mapped to a related pin should be considered undefined. Selection of a single function on a port pin completely excludes all other functions otherwise available on the same pin. The only partial exception from the above rule of exclusion is the case of inputs to the A/D converter. Regardless of the function that is selected for the port pin that also hosts the A/D input, this A/D input can be read at any time and variations of the voltage level on this pin will be reflected in the A/D readings. However, valid analog reading(s) can be obtained if and only if the function of an analog input is selected. Only in this case proper interface circuit is active in between the physical pin and the A/D module. In all other cases, a part of digital logic necessary for the digital function to be performed will be active, and will disrupt proper behavior of the A/D. 7.4 Register description The Pin Control Module contains 2 registers as shown in Table 59 below.

  • 82. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 8: GPIO The registers in Table 66 represent the enhanced GPIO features available on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8. All of these registers are located directly on the local bus of the CPU for the fastest possible read and write timing. An additional feature has been added that provides byte addressability of all GPIO registers. A mask register allows treating groups of bits in a single GPIO port separately from other bits on the same port. User must select whether a GPIO will be accessed via registers that provide enhanced features or a legacy set of registers (see Section 3.6.1 “System Control and Status flags register (SCS - 0xE01F C1A0)” on page 26). While both of a port’s fast and legacy GPIO registers are controlling the same physical pins, these two port control branches are mutually exclusive and operate independently. For example, changing a pin’s output via a fast register will not be observable via the corresponding legacy register. The following text will refer to the legacy GPIO as "the slow" GPIO, while GPIO equipped with the enhanced features will be referred as "the fast" GPIO.

The register will give the logic value of the pin regardless of whether the pin is configured for input or output, or as GPIO or an alternate digital function. As an example, a particular port pin may have GPIO input, GPIO output, UART receive, and PWM output as selectable functions. Any configuration of that pin will allow its current logic state to be read from the IOPIN register. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 87. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 8: GPIO If a pin has an analog function as one of its options, the pin state cannot be read if the analog configuration is selected. Selecting the pin as an A/D input disconnects the digital features of the pin. In that case, the pin value read in the IOPIN register is not valid. Writing to the IOPIN register stores the value in the port output register, bypassing the need to use both the IOSET and IOCLR registers to obtain the entire written value. This feature should be used carefully in an application since it affects the entire port. Legacy registers are the IO0PIN and IO1PIN, while the enhanced GPIOs are supported via the FIO0PIN and FIO1PIN registers. Access to a port pins via the FIOPIN register is conditioned by the corresponding FIOMASK register (see Section 8.4.2 “Fast GPIO port Mask register (FIOMASK, Port 0: FIO0MASK - 0x3FFF C010 and Port 1:FIO1MASK 0x3FFF C030)”). Only pins masked with zeros in the Mask register (see Section 8.4.2 “Fast GPIO port Mask register (FIOMASK, Port 0: FIO0MASK - 0x3FFF C010 and Port 1:FIO1MASK 0x3FFF C030)”) will be correlated to the current content of the Fast GPIO port pin value register.

  • 92. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 8: GPIO 8.5 GPIO usage notes 8.5.1 Example 1: sequential accesses to IOSET and IOCLR affecting the same GPIO pin/bit State of the output configured GPIO pin is determined by writes into the pin’s port IOSET and IOCLR registers. Last of these accesses to the IOSET/IOCLR register will determine the final output of a pin. In case of a code: IO0DIR IO0CLR IO0SET IO0CLR = = = = 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0080 0080 0080 0080 ;pin P0.7 configured as output ;P0.7 goes LOW ;P0.7 goes HIGH ;P0.7 goes LOW pin P0.7 is configured as an output (write to IO0DIR register). After this, P0.7 output is set to low (first write to IO0CLR register). Short high pulse follows on P0.7 (write access to IO0SET), and the final write to IO0CLR register sets pin P0.7 back to low level. 8.5.2 Example 2: an immediate output of 0s and 1s on a GPIO port Write access to port’s IOSET followed by write to the IOCLR register results with pins outputting 0s being slightly later then pins outputting 1s. There are systems that can tolerate this delay of a valid output, but for some applications simultaneous output of a binary content (mixed 0s and 1s) within a group of pins on a single GPIO port is required. This can be accomplished by writing to the port’s IOPIN register. Following code will preserve existing output on PORT0 pins P0.[31:16] and P0.[7:0] and at the same time set P0.[15:8] to 0xA5, regardless of the previous value of pins P0.[15:8]: IO0PIN = (IO0PIN && 0xFFFF00FF) || 0x0000A500 The same outcome can be obtained using the fast port access. Solution 1: using 32-bit (word) accessible fast GPIO registers FIO0MASK = 0xFFFF00FF; FIO0PIN = 0x0000A500; Solution 2: using 16-bit (half-word) accessible fast GPIO registers FIO0MASKL = 0x00FF; FIO0PINL = 0xA500; Solution 3: using 8-bit (byte) accessible fast GPIO registers FIO0PIN1 = 0xA5; © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 93. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 8: GPIO 8.5.3 Writing to IOSET/IOCLR .vs. IOPIN Write to the IOSET/IOCLR register allows easy change of the port’s selected output pin(s) to high/low level at a time. Only pin/bit(s) in the IOSET/IOCLR written with 1 will be set to high/low level, while those written as 0 will remain unaffected. However, by just writing to either IOSET or IOCLR register it is not possible to instantaneously output arbitrary binary data containing mixture of 0s and 1s on a GPIO port. Write to the IOPIN register enables instantaneous output of a desired content on the parallel GPIO. Binary data written into the IOPIN register will affect all output configured pins of that parallel port: 0s in the IOPIN will produce low level pin outputs and 1s in IOPIN will produce high level pin outputs. In order to change output of only a group of port’s pins, application must logically AND readout from the IOPIN with mask containing 0s in bits corresponding to pins that will be changed, and 1s for all others. Finally, this result has to be logically ORred with the desired content and stored back into the IOPIN register. Example 2 from above illustrates output of 0xA5 on PORT0 pins 15 to 8 while preserving all other PORT0 output pins as they were before. 8.5.4 Output signal frequency considerations when using the legacy and enhanced GPIO registers The enhanced features of the fast GPIO ports available on this microcontroller make GPIO pins more responsive to the code that has task of controlling them. In particular, software access to a GPIO pin is 3.5 times faster via the fast GPIO registers than it is when the legacy set of registers is used. As a result of the access speed increase, the maximum output frequency of the digital pin is increased 3.5 times, too. This tremendous increase of the output frequency is not always that visible when a plain C code is used, and a portion of an application handling the fast port output might have to be written in an assembly code and executed in the ARM mode. Here is a code where the pin control section is written in assembly language for ARM. It illustrates the difference between the fast and slow GPIO port output capabilities. Once this code is compiled in the ARM mode, its execution from the on-chip Flash will yield the best results when the MAM module is configured as described in Section 4.9 “MAM usage notes” on page 49. Execution from the on-chip SRAM is independent from the MAM setup. ldr r0,=0xe01fc1a0 /*register address--enable fast port*/ mov r1,#0x1 str r1,[r0] /*enable fast port0*/ ldr r1,=0xffffffff ldr r0,=0x3fffc000 /*direction of fast port0*/ str r1,[r0] ldr r0,=0xe0028018 /*direction of slow port 1*/ str r1,[r0] ldr r0,=0x3fffc018 /*FIO0SET -- fast port0 register*/ ldr r1,=0x3fffc01c /*FIO0CLR0 -- fast port0 register*/ ldr r2,=0xC0010000 /*select fast port 0.16 for toggle*/ ldr r3,=0xE0028014 /*IO1SET -- slow port1 register*/ ldr r4,=0xE002801C /*IO1CLR -- slow port1 register*/ ldr r5,=0x00100000 /*select slow port 1.20 for toggle*/ /*Generate 2 pulses on the fast port*/ str r2,[r0] © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 97. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 9: UART0 9.3.1 UART0 Receiver Buffer Register (U0RBR - 0xE000 C000, when DLAB = 0, Read Only) The U0RBR is the top byte of the UART0 Rx FIFO. The top byte of the Rx FIFO contains the oldest character received and can be read via the bus interface. The LSB (bit 0) represents the “oldest” received data bit. If the character received is less than 8 bits, the unused MSBs are padded with zeroes. The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U0LCR must be zero in order to access the U0RBR. The U0RBR is always Read Only. Since PE, FE and BI bits correspond to the byte sitting on the top of the RBR FIFO (i.e. the one that will be read in the next read from the RBR), the right approach for fetching the valid pair of received byte and its status bits is first to read the content of the U0LSR register, and then to read a byte from the U0RBR. Table 97: UART0 Receiver Buffer Register (U0RBR - address 0xE000 C000, when DLAB = 0, Read Only) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 7:0 RBR The UART0 Receiver Buffer Register contains the oldest received byte in the UART0 Rx FIFO. undefined 9.3.2 UART0 Transmit Holding Register (U0THR - 0xE000 C000, when DLAB = 0, Write Only) The U0THR is the top byte of the UART0 TX FIFO. The top byte is the newest character in the TX FIFO and can be written via the bus interface. The LSB represents the first bit to transmit. The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U0LCR must be zero in order to access the U0THR. The U0THR is always Write Only. Table 98: UART0 Transmit Holding Register (U0THR - address 0xE000 C000, when DLAB = 0, Write Only) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 7:0 THR Writing to the UART0 Transmit Holding Register causes the data NA to be stored in the UART0 transmit FIFO. The byte will be sent when it reaches the bottom of the FIFO and the transmitter is available. 9.3.3 UART0 Divisor Latch Registers (U0DLL - 0xE000 C000 and U0DLM 0xE000 C004, when DLAB = 1) The UART0 Divisor Latch is part of the UART0 Fractional Baud Rate Generator and holds the value used to divide the clock supplied by the fractional prescaler in order to produce the baud rate clock, which must be 16x the desired baud rate (Equation 1). The U0DLL and U0DLM registers together form a 16 bit divisor where U0DLL contains the lower 8 bits of the divisor and U0DLM contains the higher 8 bits of the divisor. A 0x0000 value is treated like a 0x0001 value as division by zero is not allowed.The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U0LCR must be one in order to access the UART0 Divisor Latches. Details on how to select the right value for U0DLL and U0DLM can be found later on in this chapter. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

This pre-scaler takes the VPB clock and generates an output clock per specified fractional requirements. Table 101: UART0 Fractional Divider Register (U0FDR - address 0xE000 C028) bit description Bit Function Description Reset value 3:0 DIVADDVAL Baudrate generation pre-scaler divisor value. If this field is 0, fractional baudrate generator will not impact the UART0 baudrate. 7:4 MULVAL Baudrate pre-scaler multiplier value.

NA The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. 0 This register controls the clock pre-scaler for the baud rate generation. The reset value of the register keeps the fractional capabilities of UART0 disabled making sure that UART0 is fully software and hardware compatible with UARTs not equipped with this feature. UART0 baudrate can be calculated as: (1) PCLK UART0 baudrate = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DivAddVal 16 × ( 16 × U0DLM + U0DLL ) × ⎛ 1 + ---------------------------- ⎞ ⎝ MulVal ⎠ Where PCLK is the peripheral clock, U0DLM and U0DLL are the standard UART0 baud rate divider registers, and DIVADDVAL and MULVAL are UART0 fractional baudrate generator specific parameters. The value of MULVAL and DIVADDVAL should comply to the following conditions: 1. 0 < MULVAL ≤ 15 2. 0 ≤ DIVADDVAL ≤ 15 © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 99. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 9: UART0 If the U0FDR register value does not comply to these two requests then the fractional divider output is undefined. If DIVADDVAL is zero then the fractional divider is disabled and the clock will not be divided. The value of the U0FDR should not be modified while transmitting/receiving data or data may be lost or corrupted. Usage Note: For practical purposes, UART0 baudrate formula can be written in a way that identifies the part of a UART baudrate generated without the fractional baudrate generator, and the correction factor that this module adds: (2) PCLK MulVal UART0 baudrate = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- × ----------------------------------------------------------16 × ( 16 × U0DLM + U0DLL ) ( MulVal + DivAddVal ) Based on this representation, fractional baudrate generator contribution can also be described as a prescaling with a factor of MULVAL / (MULVAL + DIVADDVAL). 9.3.5 UART0 baudrate calculation Example 1: Using UART0baudrate formula from above, it can be determined that system with PCLK = 20 MHz, U0DL = 130 (U0DLM = 0x00 and U0DLL = 0x82), DIVADDVAL = 0 and MULVAL = 1 will enable UART0 with UART0baudrate = 9615 bauds. Example 2: Using UART0baudrate formula from above, it can be determined that system with PCLK = 20 MHz, U0DL = 93 (U0DLM = 0x00 and U0DLL = 0x5D), DIVADDVAL = 2 and MULVAL = 5 will enable UART0 with UART0baudrate = 9600 bauds.

  • 102. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 9: UART0 The UART0 RLS interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 011) is the highest priority interrupt and is set whenever any one of four error conditions occur on the UART0 Rx input: overrun error (OE), parity error (PE), framing error (FE) and break interrupt (BI). The UART0 Rx error condition that set the interrupt can be observed via U0LSR[4:1]. The interrupt is cleared upon an U0LSR read. The UART0 RDA interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 010) shares the second level priority with the CTI interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 110). The RDA is activated when the UART0 Rx FIFO reaches the trigger level defined in U0FCR[7:6] and is reset when the UART0 Rx FIFO depth falls below the trigger level. When the RDA interrupt goes active, the CPU can read a block of data defined by the trigger level. The CTI interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 110) is a second level interrupt and is set when the UART0 Rx FIFO contains at least one character and no UART0 Rx FIFO activity has occurred in 3.5 to 4.5 character times. Any UART0 Rx FIFO activity (read or write of UART0 RSR) will clear the interrupt. This interrupt is intended to flush the UART0 RBR after a message has been received that is not a multiple of the trigger level size. For example, if a peripheral wished to send a 105 character message and the trigger level was 10 characters, the CPU would receive 10 RDA interrupts resulting in the transfer of 100 characters and 1 to 5 CTI interrupts (depending on the service routine) resulting in the transfer of the remaining 5 characters.

These initialization conditions are intended to give the UART0 THR FIFO a chance to fill up with data to eliminate many THRE interrupts from occurring at system start-up.

This delay is provided to give the CPU time to write data to U0THR without a THRE interrupt to decode and service. A THRE interrupt is set immediately if the UART0 THR FIFO has held two or more characters at one time and currently, the U0THR is empty. The THRE interrupt is reset when a U0THR write occurs or a read of the U0IIR occurs and the THRE is the highest interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 001). 9.3.8 UART0 FIFO Control Register (U0FCR - 0xE000 C008) The U0FCR controls the operation of the UART0 Rx and TX FIFOs.

However, it cannot be assumed that the next received byte will be correct even if there is no Framing Error. Note: A framing error is associated with the character at the top of the UART0 RBR FIFO. 0 1 4 Framing error status is inactive. Framing error status is active. Break Interrupt (BI) When RXD0 is held in the spacing state (all 0’s) for one full character 0 transmission (start, data, parity, stop), a break interrupt occurs. Once the break condition has been detected, the receiver goes idle until RXD0 goes to marking state (all 1’s). An U0LSR read clears this status bit. The time of break detection is dependent on U0FCR[0]. Note: The break interrupt is associated with the character at the top of the UART0 RBR FIFO. 0 1 5 6 Transmitter Holding Register Empty (THRE)) Transmitter Empty (TEMT) Break interrupt status is inactive. Break interrupt status is active. THRE is set immediately upon detection of an empty UART0 THR and is cleared on a U0THR write. 0 U0THR contains valid data. 1 U0THR is empty. TEMT is set when both U0THR and U0TSR are empty; TEMT is cleared when 1 either the U0TSR or the U0THR contain valid data. 0 U0THR and/or the U0TSR contains valid data. 1 7 1 U0THR and the U0TSR are empty. Error in RX FIFO (RXFE) U0LSR[7] is set when a character with a Rx error such as framing error, parity 0 error or break interrupt, is loaded into the U0RBR. This bit is cleared when the U0LSR register is read and there are no subsequent errors in the UART0 FIFO. 0 U0RBR contains no UART0 RX errors or U0FCR[0]=0. 1 UART0 RBR contains at least one UART0 RX error. 9.3.11 UART0 Scratch pad register (U0SCR - 0xE000 C01C) The U0SCR has no effect on the UART0 operation. This register can be written and/or read at user’s discretion. There is no provision in the interrupt interface that would indicate to the host that a read or write of the U0SCR has occurred.

Writing a 0 has no impact. 0 31:10 - NA Reserved, user software should not write ones to 0 reserved bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. 9.3.13 Auto-baud The UART0 auto-baud function can be used to measure the incoming baud-rate based on the ”AT" protocol (Hayes command). If enabled the auto-baud feature will measure the bit time of the receive data stream and set the divisor latch registers U0DLM and U0DLL accordingly. Auto-baud is started by setting the U0ACR Start bit. Auto-baud can be stopped by clearing the U0ACR Start bit. The Start bit will clear once auto-baud has finished and reading the bit will return the status of auto-baud (pending/finished). Two auto-baud measuring modes are available which can be selected by the U0ACR Mode bit. In mode 0 the baud-rate is measured on two subsequent falling edges of the UART0 Rx pin (the falling edge of the start bit and the falling edge of the least significant bit). In mode 1 the baud-rate is measured between the falling edge and the subsequent rising edge of the UART0 Rx pin (the length of the start bit). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 107. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 9: UART0 The U0ACR AutoRestart bit can be used to automatically restart baud-rate measurement if a time-out occurs (the rate measurement counter overflows). If this bit is set the rate measurement will restart at the next falling edge of the UART0 Rx pin. The auto-baud function can generate two interrupts. • The U0IIR ABTOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U0IER ABToIntEn is set and the auto-baud rate measurement counter overflows). • The U0IIR ABEOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U0IER ABEOIntEn is set and the auto-baud has completed successfully). The auto-baud interrupts have to be cleared by setting the corresponding U0ACR ABTOIntClr and ABEOIntEn bits. Typically the fractional baud-rate generator is disabled (DIVADDVAL = 0) during auto-baud. However, if the fractional baud-rate generator is enabled (DIVADDVAL > 0), it is going to impact the measuring of UART0 Rx pin baud-rate, but the value of the U0FDR register is not going to be modified after rate measurement. Also, when auto-baud is used, any write to U0DLM and U0DLL registers should be done before U0ACR register write. The minimum and the maximum baudrates supported by UART0 are function of PCLK, number of data bits, stop-bits and parity bits. (3) 2 × P CLK PCLK ratemin = ------------------------ ≤ UART0 baudrate ≤ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = ratemax 16 × ( 2 + databits + paritybits + stopbits ) 16 × 2 15 9.3.14 UART0 Transmit Enable Register (U0TER - 0xE000 C030) LPC2141/2/4/6/8’s U0TER enables implementation of software flow control. When TXEn=1, UART0 transmitter will keep sending data as long as they are available. As soon as TXEn becomes 0, UART0 transmission will stop. Table 111 describes how to use TXEn bit in order to achieve software flow control. Table 111: UART0 Transmit Enable Register (U0TER - address 0xE000 C030) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 6:0 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. NA 7 TXEN When this bit is 1, as it is after a Reset, data written to the THR is output 1 on the TXD pin as soon as any preceding data has been sent. If this bit is cleared to 0 while a character is being sent, the transmission of that character is completed, but no further characters are sent until this bit is set again. In other words, a 0 in this bit blocks the transfer of characters from the THR or TX FIFO into the transmit shift register. Software implementing software-handshaking can clear this bit when it receives an XOFF character (DC3). Software can set this bit again when it receives an XON (DC1) character. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 107
  • 108. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 9: UART0 9.3.15 Auto-baud Modes When the software is expecting an ”AT" command, it configures the UART0 with the expected character format and sets the U0ACR Start bit. The initial values in the divisor latches U0DLM and U0DLM don‘t care. Because of the ”A" or ”a" ASCII coding (”A" = 0x41, ”a" = 0x61), the UART0 Rx pin sensed start bit and the LSB of the expected character are delimited by two falling edges. When the U0ACR Start bit is set, the auto-baud protocol will execute the following phases: 1. On U0ACR Start bit setting, the baud-rate measurement counter is reset and the UART0 U0RSR is reset. The U0RSR baud rate is switch to the highest rate. 2. A falling edge on UART0 Rx pin triggers the beginning of the start bit. The rate measuring counter will start counting PCLK cycles optionally pre-scaled by the fractional baud-rate generator. 3. During the receipt of the start bit, 16 pulses are generated on the RSR baud input with the frequency of the (fractional baud-rate pre-scaled) UART0 input clock, guaranteeing the start bit is stored in the U0RSR. 4. During the receipt of the start bit (and the character LSB for mode = 0) the rate counter will continue incrementing with the pre-scaled UART0 input clock (PCLK). 5. If Mode = 0 then the rate counter will stop on next falling edge of the UART0 Rx pin. If Mode = 1 then the rate counter will stop on the next rising edge of the UART0 Rx pin. 6. The rate counter is loaded into U0DLM/U0DLL and the baud-rate will be switched to normal operation. After setting the U0DLM/U0DLL the end of auto-baud interrupt U0IIR ABEOInt will be set, if enabled. The U0RSR will now continue receiving the remaining bits of the ”A/a" character. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 108

The UART0 RX Shift Register (U0RSR) accepts valid characters via RXD0. After a valid character is assembled in the U0RSR, it is passed to the UART0 RX Buffer Register FIFO to await access by the CPU or host via the generic host interface. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 110. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 9: UART0 The UART0 transmitter block, U0TX, accepts data written by the CPU or host and buffers the data in the UART0 TX Holding Register FIFO (U0THR). The UART0 TX Shift Register (U0TSR) reads the data stored in the U0THR and assembles the data to transmit via the serial output pin, TXD0. The UART0 Baud Rate Generator block, U0BRG, generates the timing enables used by the UART0 TX block. The U0BRG clock input source is the VPB clock (PCLK). The main clock is divided down per the divisor specified in the U0DLL and U0DLM registers. This divided down clock is a 16x oversample clock, NBAUDOUT. The interrupt interface contains registers U0IER and U0IIR. The interrupt interface receives several one clock wide enables from the U0TX and U0RX blocks. Status information from the U0TX and U0RX is stored in the U0LSR. Control information for the U0TX and U0RX is stored in the U0LCR. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

The top byte of the RX FIFO contains the oldest character received and can be read via the bus interface. The LSB (bit 0) represents the “oldest” received data bit. If the character received is less than 8 bits, the unused MSBs are padded with zeroes. The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U1LCR must be zero in order to access the U1RBR. The U1RBR is always Read Only. Since PE, FE and BI bits correspond to the byte sitting on the top of the RBR FIFO (i.e. the one that will be read in the next read from the RBR), the right approach for fetching the valid pair of received byte and its status bits is first to read the content of the U1LSR register, and then to read a byte from the U1RBR.

The top byte is the newest character in the TX FIFO and can be written via the bus interface. The LSB represents the first bit to transmit. The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U1LCR must be zero in order to access the U1THR. The U1THR is always Write Only. Table 115: UART1 Transmitter Holding Register (U1THR - address 0xE001 0000, when DLAB = 0 Write Only) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 7:0 THR Writing to the UART1 Transmit Holding Register causes the data NA to be stored in the UART1 transmit FIFO.

The U1DLL and U1DLM registers together form a 16 bit divisor where U1DLL contains the lower 8 bits of the divisor and U1DLM contains the higher 8 bits of the divisor. A 0x0000 value is treated like a 0x0001 value as division by zero is not allowed.The Divisor Latch Access Bit (DLAB) in U1LCR must be one in order to access the UART1 Divisor Latches.

NA 31:10 - [1] LPC2144/6/8 only. For all other LPC214x devices ’000’ combination is Reserved. Interrupts are handled as described in Table 83. Given the status of U1IIR[3:0], an interrupt handler routine can determine the cause of the interrupt and how to clear the active interrupt. The U1IIR must be read in order to clear the interrupt prior to exiting the Interrupt Service Routine. The UART1 RLS interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 011) is the highest priority interrupt and is set whenever any one of four error conditions occur on the UART1RX input: overrun error (OE), parity error (PE), framing error (FE) and break interrupt (BI). The UART1 Rx error condition that set the interrupt can be observed via U1LSR[4:1]. The interrupt is cleared upon an U1LSR read. The UART1 RDA interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 010) shares the second level priority with the CTI interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 110). The RDA is activated when the UART1 Rx FIFO reaches the trigger level defined in U1FCR7:6 and is reset when the UART1 Rx FIFO depth falls below the trigger level. When the RDA interrupt goes active, the CPU can read a block of data defined by the trigger level. The CTI interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 110) is a second level interrupt and is set when the UART1 Rx FIFO contains at least one character and no UART1 Rx FIFO activity has occurred in 3.5 to 4.5 character times. Any UART1 Rx FIFO activity (read or write of UART1 RSR) will clear the interrupt. This interrupt is intended to flush the UART1 RBR after a message has been received that is not a multiple of the trigger level size. For example, if a peripheral wished to send a 105 character message and the trigger level was 10 characters, the CPU would receive 10 RDA interrupts resulting in the transfer of 100 characters and 1 to 5 CTI interrupts (depending on the service routine) resulting in the transfer of the remaining 5 characters. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

These initialization conditions are intended to give the UART1 THR FIFO a chance to fill up with data to eliminate many THRE interrupts from occurring at system start-up. The initialization conditions implement a one character delay minus the stop bit whenever THRE = 1 and there have not been at least two characters in the U1THR at one time since the last THRE = 1 event. This delay is provided to give the CPU time to write data to U1THR without a THRE interrupt to decode and service. A THRE interrupt is set immediately if the UART1 THR FIFO has held two or more characters at one time and currently, the U1THR is empty. The THRE interrupt is reset when a U1THR write occurs or a read of the U1IIR occurs and the THRE is the highest interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 001). The modem interrupt (U1IIR[3:1] = 000) is available in LPC2144/6/8 only. It is the lowest priority interrupt and is activated whenever there is any state change on modem inputs pins, DCD, DSR or CTS. In addition, a low to high transition on modem input RI will generate a modem interrupt. The source of the modem interrupt can be determined by examining U1MSR[3:0]. A U1MSR read will clear the modem interrupt. 10.3.8 UART1 FIFO Control Register (U1FCR - 0xE001 0008) The U1FCR controls the operation of the UART1 RX and TX FIFOs. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

The four modem inputs (CTS, DSR, RI and DCD) are disconnected externally. Externally, the modem outputs (RTS, DTR) are set inactive. Internally, the four modem outputs are connected to the four modem inputs. As a result of these connections, the upper four bits of the U1MSR will be driven by the lower four bits of the U1MCR rather than the four modem inputs in normal mode.

  • 124. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 10: UART1 Auto-RTS The auto-RTS function is enabled by setting the CTSen bit. Auto-RTS data flow control originates in the U1RBR module and is linked to the programmed receiver FIFO trigger level. If auto-RTS is enabled, when the receiver FIFO level reaches the programmed trigger level RTS1 is deasserted (to a high value). The sending UART may send an additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another byte to send) because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS1 until after it has begun sending the additional byte. RTS1 is automatically reasserted (to a low value) once the receiver FIFO has reached the previous trigger level. The reassertion of RTS1 signals the sending UART to continue transmitting data. If auto-RTS mode is disabled the RTSen bit controls the RTS1 output of the UART1. If auto-RTS mode is enabled hardware controls the RTS1 output and the actual value of RTS1 will be copied in the RTSen bit of the UART1. As long as auto-RTS is enabled the value if the RTSen bit is read-only for software. ~ ~ Example: Suppose the UART1 operating in type 550 has trigger level in U1FCR set to 0x2 then if auto-RTS is enabled the UART1 will deassert the RTS1 output as soon as the receive FIFO contains 8 bytes (Table 123 on page 122). The RTS1 output will be reasserted as soon as the receive FIFO hits the previous trigger level: 4 bytes. start byte N stop start bits0..7 stop start bits0..7 stop ~ ~ UART1 Rx RTS1 pin N-1 N N-1 N-2 N-1 N-2 M+2 M+1 M M-1 ~ ~ UART1 Rx FIFO level ~~ ~~ UART1 Rx FIFO read Fig 20. Auto-RTS functional timing Auto-CTS The auto-CTS function is enabled by setting the CTSen bit. If auto-CTS is enabled the transmitter circuitry in the U1TSR module checks CTS1 input before sending the next data byte. When CTS1 is active (low), the transmitter sends the next byte. To stop the transmitter from sending the following byte, CTS1 must be released before the middle of the last stop bit that is currently being sent. In auto-CTS mode a change of the CTS1 signal does not trigger a modem status interrupt unless the CTS Interrupt Enable bit is set, Delta CTS bit in the U1MSR will be set though.

Auto-CTS functional timing While starting transmission of the initial character the CTS1 signal is asserted. Transmission will stall as soon as the pending transmission has completed. The UART will continue transmitting a 1 bit as long as CTS1 is deasserted (high).

The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. 10.3.15 Auto-baud The UART1 auto-baud function can be used to measure the incoming baud-rate based on the ”AT" protocol (Hayes command). If enabled the auto-baud feature will measure the bit time of the receive data stream and set the divisor latch registers U1DLM and U1DLL accordingly. Auto-baud is started by setting the U1ACR Start bit. Auto-baud can be stopped by clearing the U1ACR Start bit. The Start bit will clear once auto-baud has finished and reading the bit will return the status of auto-baud (pending/finished). Two auto-baud measuring modes are available which can be selected by the U1ACR Mode bit. In mode 0 the baud-rate is measured on two subsequent falling edges of the UART1 Rx pin (the falling edge of the start bit and the falling edge of the least significant bit). In mode 1 the baud-rate is measured between the falling edge and the subsequent rising edge of the UART1 Rx pin (the length of the start bit). The U1ACR AutoRestart bit can be used to automatically restart baud-rate measurement if a time-out occurs (the rate measurement counter overflows). If this bit is set the rate measurement will restart at the next falling edge of the UART1 Rx pin. The auto-baud function can generate two interrupts. • The U1IIR ABTOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U1IER ABToIntEn is set and the auto-baud rate measurement counter overflows). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 10: UART1 • The U1IIR ABEOInt interrupt will get set if the interrupt is enabled (U1IER ABEOIntEn is set and the auto-baud has completed successfully). The auto-baud interrupts have to be cleared by setting the corresponding U1ACR ABTOIntClr and ABEOIntEn bits. Typically the fractional baud-rate generator is disabled (DIVADDVAL = 0) during auto-baud. However, if the fractional baud-rate generator is enabled (DIVADDVAL > 0), it is going to impact the measuring of UART1 Rx pin baud-rate, but the value of the U1FDR register is not going to be modified after rate measurement. Also, when auto-baud is used, any write to U1DLM and U1DLL registers should be done before U1ACR register write. The minimum and the maximum baudrates supported by UART1 are function of PCLK, number of data bits, stop-bits and parity bits. (6) 2 × P CLK PCLK ratemin = ------------------------ ≤ UART 1 baudrate ≤ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = ratemax 16 × ( 2 + databits + paritybits + stopbits ) 16 × 2 15 10.3.16 Auto-baud Modes When the software is expecting an ”AT" command, it configures the UART1 with the expected character format and sets the U1ACR Start bit. The initial values in the divisor latches U1DLM and U1DLM don‘t care. Because of the ”A" or ”a" ASCII coding (”A" = 0x41, ”a" = 0x61), the UART1 Rx pin sensed start bit and the LSB of the expected character are delimited by two falling edges. When the U1ACR Start bit is set, the auto-baud protocol will execute the following phases: 1. On U1ACR Start bit setting, the baud-rate measurement counter is reset and the UART1 U1RSR is reset. The U1RSR baud rate is switch to the highest rate. 2. A falling edge on UART1 Rx pin triggers the beginning of the start bit. The rate measuring counter will start counting PCLK cycles optionally pre-scaled by the fractional baud-rate generator. 3. During the receipt of the start bit, 16 pulses are generated on the RSR baud input with the frequency of the (fractional baud-rate pre-scaled) UART1 input clock, guaranteeing the start bit is stored in the U1RSR. 4. During the receipt of the start bit (and the character LSB for mode = 0) the rate counter will continue incrementing with the pre-scaled UART1 input clock (PCLK). 5. If Mode = 0 then the rate counter will stop on next falling edge of the UART1 Rx pin. If Mode = 1 then the rate counter will stop on the next rising edge of the UART1 Rx pin. 6. The rate counter is loaded into U1DLM/U1DLL and the baud-rate will be switched to normal operation. After setting the U1DLM/U1DLL the end of auto-baud interrupt U1IIR ABEOInt will be set, if enabled. The U1RSR will now continue receiving the remaining bits of the ”A/a" character. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 129

NA The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. 7 TXEN When this bit is 1, as it is after a Reset, data written to the THR 1 is output on the TXD pin as soon as any preceding data has been sent. If this bit cleared to 0 while a character is being sent, the transmission of that character is completed, but no further characters are sent until this bit is set again. In other words, a 0 in this bit blocks the transfer of characters from the THR or TX FIFO into the transmit shift register. Software can clear this bit when it detects that the a hardware-handshaking TX-permit signal (LPC2144/6/8: CTS - otherwise any GPIO/external interrupt line) has gone false, or with software handshaking, when it receives an XOFF character (DC3). Software can set this bit again when it detects that the TX-permit signal has gone true, or when it receives an XON (DC1) character. 10.4 Architecture The architecture of the UART1 is shown below in the block diagram. The VPB interface provides a communications link between the CPU or host and the UART1. The UART1 receiver block, U1RX, monitors the serial input line, RXD1, for valid input. The UART1 RX Shift Register (U1RSR) accepts valid characters via RXD1. After a valid character is assembled in the U1RSR, it is passed to the UART1 RX Buffer Register FIFO to await access by the CPU or host via the generic host interface. The UART1 transmitter block, U1TX, accepts data written by the CPU or host and buffers the data in the UART1 TX Holding Register FIFO (U1THR). The UART1 TX Shift Register (U1TSR) reads the data stored in the U1THR and assembles the data to transmit via the serial output pin, TXD1. The UART1 Baud Rate Generator block, U1BRG, generates the timing enables used by the UART1 TX block. The U1BRG clock input source is the VPB clock (PCLK). The main clock is divided down per the divisor specified in the U1DLL and U1DLM registers. This divided down clock is a 16x oversample clock, NBAUDOUT. The modem interface contains registers U1MCR and U1MSR. This interface is responsible for handshaking between a modem peripheral and the UART1. The interrupt interface contains registers U1IER and U1IIR. The interrupt interface receives several one clock wide enables from the U1TX and U1RX blocks. Status information from the U1TX and U1RX is stored in the U1LSR. Control information for the U1TX and U1RX is stored in the U1LCR. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

Depending on the state of the direction bit (R/W), two types of data transfers are possible on the I2C-bus: • Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave receiver. The first byte transmitted by the master is the slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The slave returns an acknowledge bit after each received byte. • Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master receiver. The first byte (the slave address) is transmitted by the master. The slave then returns an acknowledge bit. Next follows the data bytes transmitted by the slave to the master. The master returns an acknowledge bit after all received bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the last received byte, a “not acknowledge” is returned. The master device generates all of the serial clock pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with a STOP condition or with a repeated START condition. Since a repeated START condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C-bus will not be released. The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 I2C interfaces are byte oriented, and have four operating modes: master transmitter mode, master receiver mode, slave transmitter mode and slave receiver mode. The I2C interfaces compile with entire I2C specification, supporting the ability to turn power off to the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 without causing a problem with other devices on the same I2C-bus (see "The I2C-bus specification" description under the heading "Fast-Mode", and notes for the table titled "Characteristics of the SDA and SCL I/O stages © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

In the slave mode, the I2C hardware looks for its own slave address and the general call address. If one of these addresses is detected, an interrupt is requested. If the processor wishes to become the bus master, the hardware waits until the bus is free before the master mode is entered so that a possible slave operation is not interrupted. If bus arbitration is lost in the master mode, the I2C block switches to the slave mode immediately and can detect its own slave address in the same serial transfer. 11.5.1 Master Transmitter mode In this mode data is transmitted from master to slave.

After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is received. START and STOP conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the end of a serial transfer. The I2C interface will enter master transmitter mode when software sets the STA bit. The I2C logic will send the START condition as soon as the bus is free. After the START condition is transmitted, the SI bit is set, and the status code in the I2STAT register is 0x08. This status code is used to vector to a state service routine which will load the slave address and Write bit to the I2DAT register, and then clear the SI bit. SI is cleared by writing a 1 to the SIC bit in the I2CONCLR register. When the slave address and R/W bit have been transmitted and an acknowledgment bit has been received, the SI bit is set again, and the possible status codes now are 0x18, 0x20, or 0x38 for the master mode, or 0x68, 0x78, or 0xB0 if the slave mode was enabled (by setting AA to 1).

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces 11.6.2 Address Register, I2ADDR This register may be loaded with the 7-bit slave address (7 most significant bits) to which the I2C block will respond when programmed as a slave transmitter or receiver. The LSB (GC) is used to enable general call address (0x00) recognition. 11.6.3 Comparator The comparator compares the received 7-bit slave address with its own slave address (7 most significant bits in I2ADR). It also compares the first received 8-bit byte with the general call address (0x00). If an equality is found, the appropriate status bits are set and an interrupt is requested. 11.6.4 Shift register, I2DAT This 8-bit register contains a byte of serial data to be transmitted or a byte which has just been received. Data in I2DAT is always shifted from right to left; the first bit to be transmitted is the MSB (bit 7) and, after a byte has been received, the first bit of received data is located at the MSB of I2DAT. While data is being shifted out, data on the bus is simultaneously being shifted in; I2DAT always contains the last byte present on the bus. Thus, in the event of lost arbitration, the transition from master transmitter to slave receiver is made with the correct data in I2DAT. 11.6.5 Arbitration and synchronization logic In the master transmitter mode, the arbitration logic checks that every transmitted logic 1 actually appears as a logic 1 on the I2C-bus. If another device on the bus overrules a logic 1 and pulls the SDA line low, arbitration is lost, and the I2C block immediately changes from master transmitter to slave receiver. The I2C block will continue to output clock pulses (on SCL) until transmission of the current serial byte is complete. Arbitration may also be lost in the master receiver mode. Loss of arbitration in this mode can only occur while the I2C block is returning a “not acknowledge: (logic 1) to the bus. Arbitration is lost when another device on the bus pulls this signal LOW. Since this can occur only at the end of a serial byte, the I2C block generates no further clock pulses. Figure 31 shows the arbitration procedure. (1) (1) 1 2 3 (3) (2) SDA Line SCL Line 4 8 9 ACK 1.

Arbitration is lost and this 2 C enters Slave Receiver mode. I 3. This I2 C is in Slave Receiver mode, but still generates clock pulses until the current byte has been transmitted. This 2 C will not generate clock pulses for the next byte. Data on SDA originates from the new I master once it has won arbitration. Fig 31.

  • 141. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces The synchronization logic will synchronize the serial clock generator with the clock pulses on the SCL line from another device. If two or more master devices generate clock pulses, the “mark” duration is determined by the device that generates the shortest “marks,” and the “space” duration is determined by the device that generates the longest “spaces”. Figure 32 shows the synchronization procedure. SDA Line (1) (3) (1) SCL Line (2) High period Low period 2 1. Another device pulls the SCL line low before this C has timed a complete high time. The other device I effectively determines the (shorter) high period. 2 2. Another device continues to pull the SCL line low after thisC has timed a complete low time and released I SCL. The I2C clock generator is forced to wait until SCL goes high. The other device effectively determines the (longer) low period. 3. The SCL line is released and the clock generator begins timing the high time. Fig 32. Serial clock synchronization A slave may stretch the space duration to slow down the bus master. The space duration may also be stretched for handshaking purposes. This can be done after each bit or after a complete byte transfer. the I2C block will stretch the SCL space duration after a byte has been transmitted or received and the acknowledge bit has been transferred. The serial interrupt flag (SI) is set, and the stretching continues until the serial interrupt flag is cleared. 11.6.6 Serial clock generator This programmable clock pulse generator provides the SCL clock pulses when the I2C block is in the master transmitter or master receiver mode. It is switched off when the I2C block is in a slave mode. The I2C output clock frequency and duty cycle is programmable via the I2C Clock Control Registers. See the description of the I2CSCLL and I2CSCLH registers for details. The output clock pulses have a duty cycle as programmed unless the bus is synchronizing with other SCL clock sources as described above. 11.6.7 Timing and control The timing and control logic generates the timing and control signals for serial byte handling. This logic block provides the shift pulses for I2DAT, enables the comparator, generates and detects start and stop conditions, receives and transmits acknowledge bits, controls the master and slave modes, contains interrupt request logic, and monitors the I2C-bus status. 11.6.8 Control register, I2CONSET and I2CONCLR The I2C control register contains bits used to control the following I2C block functions: start and restart of a serial transfer, termination of a serial transfer, bit rate, address recognition, and acknowledgment. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Writing to I2CONSET will set bits in the I2C control register that correspond to ones in the value written. Conversely, writing to I2CONCLR will clear bits in the I2C control register that correspond to ones in the value written. 11.6.9 Status decoder and Status register The status decoder takes all of the internal status bits and compresses them into a 5-bit code. This code is unique for each I2C-bus status. The 5-bit code may be used to generate vector addresses for fast processing of the various service routines. Each service routine processes a particular bus status. There are 26 possible bus states if all four modes of the I2C block are used. The 5-bit status code is latched into the five most significant bits of the status register when the serial interrupt flag is set (by hardware) and remains stable until the interrupt flag is cleared by software. The three least significant bits of the status register are always zero. If the status code is used as a vector to service routines, then the routines are displaced by eight address locations. Eight bytes of code is sufficient for most of the service routines (see the software example in this section). 11.7 Register description Each I2C interface contains 7 registers as shown in Table 135 below.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces 11.7.1 I2C Control Set register (I2CONSET: I2C0, I2C0CONSET - 0xE001 C000 and I2C1, I2C1CONSET - 0xE005 C000) The I2CONSET registers control setting of bits in the I2CON register that controls operation of the I2C interface. Writing a one to a bit of this register causes the corresponding bit in the I2C control register to be set. Writing a zero has no effect. Table 136: I2C Control Set register (I2CONSET: I2C0, I2C0CONSET - address 0xE001 C000 and I2C1, I2C1CONSET - address 0xE005 C000) bit description Bit Symbol Description 1:0 - Reserved.

When I2EN is 1, the I2C interface is enabled. I2EN can be cleared by writing 1 to the I2ENC bit in the I2CONCLR register. When I2EN is 0, the I2C interface is disabled. When I2EN is “0”, the SDA and SCL input signals are ignored, the I2C block is in the “not addressed” slave state, and the STO bit is forced to “0”. I2EN should not be used to temporarily release the I2C-bus since, when I2EN is reset, the I2C-bus status is lost. The AA flag should be used instead. STA is the START flag. Setting this bit causes the I2C interface to enter master mode and transmit a START condition or transmit a repeated START condition if it is already in master mode. When STA is 1 and the I2C interface is not already in master mode, it enters master mode, checks the bus and generates a START condition if the bus is free. If the bus is not free, it waits for a STOP condition (which will free the bus) and generates a START condition after a delay of a half clock period of the internal clock generator. If the I2C interface is already in master mode and data has been transmitted or received, it transmits a repeated START condition. STA may be set at any time, including when the I2C interface is in an addressed slave mode. STA can be cleared by writing 1 to the STAC bit in the I2CONCLR register. When STA is 0, no START condition or repeated START condition will be generated. If STA and STO are both set, then a STOP condition is transmitted on the I2C-bus if it the interface is in master mode, and transmits a START condition thereafter. If the I2C interface is in slave mode, an internal STOP condition is generated, but is not transmitted on the bus. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 144. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces STO is the STOP flag. Setting this bit causes the I2C interface to transmit a STOP condition in master mode, or recover from an error condition in slave mode. When STO is 1 in master mode, a STOP condition is transmitted on the I2C-bus. When the bus detects the STOP condition, STO is cleared automatically. In slave mode, setting this bit can recover from an error condition. In this case, no STOP condition is transmitted to the bus. The hardware behaves as if a STOP condition has been received and it switches to “not addressed” slave receiver mode. The STO flag is cleared by hardware automatically. SI is the I2C Interrupt Flag. This bit is set when the I2C state changes. However, entering state F8 does not set SI since there is nothing for an interrupt service routine to do in that case. While SI is set, the low period of the serial clock on the SCL line is stretched, and the serial transfer is suspended. When SCL is high, it is unaffected by the state of the SI flag. SI must be reset by software, by writing a 1 to the SIC bit in I2CONCLR register. AA is the Assert Acknowledge Flag. When set to 1, an acknowledge (low level to SDA) will be returned during the acknowledge clock pulse on the SCL line on the following situations: 1. The address in the Slave Address Register has been received. 2. The general call address has been received while the general call bit (GC) in I2ADR is set. 3. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the master receiver mode. 4. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the addressed slave receiver mode The AA bit can be cleared by writing 1 to the AAC bit in the I2CONCLR register. When AA is 0, a not acknowledge (high level to SDA) will be returned during the acknowledge clock pulse on the SCL line on the following situations: 1. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the master receiver mode. 2. A data byte has been received while the I2C is in the addressed slave receiver mode. 11.7.2 I2C Control Clear register (I2CONCLR: I2C0, I2C0CONCLR 0xE001 C018 and I2C1, I2C1CONCLR - 0xE005 C018) The I2CONCLR registers control clearing of bits in the I2CON register that controls operation of the I2C interface. Writing a one to a bit of this register causes the corresponding bit in the I2C control register to be cleared. Writing a zero has no effect. Table 137: I2C Control Set register (I2CONCLR: I2C0, I2C0CONCLR - address 0xE001 C018 and I2C1, I2C1CONCLR - address 0xE005 C018) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 1:0 - Reserved.

The I2C Status register is Read-Only. Table 138: I2C Status register (I2STAT: I2C0, I2C0STAT - address 0xE001 C004 and I2C1, I2C1STAT - address 0xE005 C004) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 2:0 - These bits are unused and are always 0. 0 7:3 Status These bits give the actual status information about the I2C interface. 0x1F The three least significant bits are always 0. Taken as a byte, the status register contents represent a status code. There are 26 possible status codes. When the status code is 0xF8, there is no relevant information available and the SI bit is not set. All other 25 status codes correspond to defined I2C states. When any of these states entered, the SI bit will be set. For a complete list of status codes, refer to tables from Table 148 to Table 151. 11.7.4 I2C Data register (I2DAT: I2C0, I2C0DAT - 0xE001 C008 and I2C1, I2C1DAT - 0xE005 C008) This register contains the data to be transmitted or the data just received. The CPU can read and write to this register only while it is not in the process of shifting a byte, when the SI bit is set. Data in I2DAT remains stable as long as the SI bit is set. Data in I2DAT is always shifted from right to left: the first bit to be transmitted is the MSB (bit 7), and after a byte has been received, the first bit of received data is located at the MSB of I2DAT.

In master mode, this register has no effect. The LSB of I2ADR is the general call bit. When this bit is set, the general call address (0x00) is recognized. Table 140: I2C Slave Address register (I2ADR: I2C0, I2C0ADR - address 0xE001 C00C and I2C1, I2C1ADR - address 0xE005 C00C) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 0 General Call enable bit. 0 GC 7:1 Address The I2C device address for slave mode. 0x00 11.7.6 I2C SCL High duty cycle register (I2SCLH: I2C0, I2C0SCLH 0xE001 C010 and I2C1, I2C1SCLH - 0xE0015 C010) Table 141: I2C SCL High Duty Cycle register (I2SCLH: I2C0, I2C0SCLH - address 0xE001 C010 and I2C1, I2C1SCLH - address 0xE005 C010) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 15:0 SCLH Count for SCL HIGH time period selection. 0x0004 11.7.7 I2C SCL Low duty cycle register (I2SCLL: I2C0 - I2C0SCLL: 0xE001 C014; I2C1 - I2C1SCLL: 0xE0015 C014) Table 142: I2C SCL Low Duty Cycle register (I2SCLL: I2C0, I2C0SCLL - address 0xE001 C014 and I2C1, I2C1SCLL - address 0xE005 C014) bit description Bit Symbol Description Reset value 15:0 SCLL Count for SCL LOW time period selection. 0x0004 11.7.8 Selecting the appropriate I2C data rate and duty cycle Software must set values for the registers I2SCLH and I2SCLL to select the appropriate data rate and duty cycle. I2SCLH defines the number of PCLK cycles for the SCL high time, I2SCLL defines the number of PCLK cycles for the SCL low time. The frequency is determined by the following formula (PCLK is the frequency of the peripheral bus VPB): (7) PCLK I 2 C bitfrequency = -------------------------------------------------------I2CSCLH + I2CSCLL The values for I2SCLL and I2SCLH should not necessarily be the same. Software can set different duty cycles on SCL by setting these two registers. For example, the I2C-bus specification defines the SCL low time and high time at different values for a 400 kHz I2C rate. The value of the register must ensure that the data rate is in the I2C data rate range of 0 through 400 kHz. Each register value must be greater than or equal to 4. Table 143 gives some examples of I2C-bus rates based on PCLK frequency and I2SCLL and I2SCLH values. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

The numbers in the circles show the status code held in the I2STAT register. At these points, a service routine must be executed to continue or complete the serial transfer. These service routines are not critical since the serial transfer is suspended until the serial interrupt flag is cleared by software.

  • 148. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces 11.8.1 Master Transmitter mode In the master transmitter mode, a number of data bytes are transmitted to a slave receiver (see Figure 33). Before the master transmitter mode can be entered, I2CON must be initialized as follows: Table 145: I2CONSET used to initialize Master Transmitter mode Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Symbol - I2EN STA STO SI AA - - Value - 1 0 0 0 x - - The I2C rate must also be configured in the I2SCLL and I2SCLH registers. I2EN must be set to logic 1 to enable the I2C block. If the AA bit is reset, the I2C block will not acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address in the event of another device becoming master of the bus. In other words, if AA is reset, the I2C interface cannot enter a slave mode. STA, STO, and SI must be reset. The master transmitter mode may now be entered by setting the STA bit. The I2C logic will now test the I2C-bus and generate a start condition as soon as the bus becomes free. When a START condition is transmitted, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set, and the status code in the status register (I2STAT) will be 0x08. This status code is used by the interrupt service routine to enter the appropriate state service routine that loads I2DAT with the slave address and the data direction bit (SLA+W). The SI bit in I2CON must then be reset before the serial transfer can continue. When the slave address and the direction bit have been transmitted and an acknowledgment bit has been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set again, and a number of status codes in I2STAT are possible. There are 0x18, 0x20, or 0x38 for the master mode and also 0x68, 0x78, or 0xB0 if the slave mode was enabled (AA = logic 1). The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 148. After a repeated start condition (state 0x10). The I2C block may switch to the master receiver mode by loading I2DAT with SLA+R). 11.8.2 Master Receiver mode In the master receiver mode, a number of data bytes are received from a slave transmitter (see Figure 34). The transfer is initialized as in the master transmitter mode. When the start condition has been transmitted, the interrupt service routine must load I2DAT with the 7-bit slave address and the data direction bit (SLA+R). The SI bit in I2CON must then be cleared before the serial transfer can continue. When the slave address and the data direction bit have been transmitted and an acknowledgment bit has been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set again, and a number of status codes in I2STAT are possible. These are 0x40, 0x48, or 0x38 for the master mode and also 0x68, 0x78, or 0xB0 if the slave mode was enabled (AA = 1). The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 149. After a repeated start condition (state 0x10), the I2C block may switch to the master transmitter mode by loading I2DAT with SLA+W. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces 11.8.3 Slave Receiver mode In the slave receiver mode, a number of data bytes are received from a master transmitter (see Figure 35). To initiate the slave receiver mode, I2ADR and I2CON must be loaded as follows: Table 146: I2C0ADR and I2C1ADR usage in Slave Receiver mode Bit 7 6 5 Symbol 4 3 2 1 own slave 7-bit address 0 GC The upper 7 bits are the address to which the I2C block will respond when addressed by a master. If the LSB (GC) is set, the I2C block will respond to the general call address (0x00); otherwise it ignores the general call address. Table 147: I2C0CONSET and I2C1CONSET used to initialize Slave Receiver mode Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Symbol - I2EN STA STO SI AA - - Value - 1 0 0 0 1 - - The I2C-bus rate settings do not affect the I2C block in the slave mode. I2EN must be set to logic 1 to enable the I2C block. The AA bit must be set to enable the I2C block to acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address. STA, STO, and SI must be reset. When I2ADR and I2CON have been initialized, the I2C block waits until it is addressed by its own slave address followed by the data direction bit which must be “0” (W) for the I2C block to operate in the slave receiver mode. After its own slave address and the W bit have been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set and a valid status code can be read from I2STAT. This status code is used to vector to a state service routine. The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 104. The slave receiver mode may also be entered if arbitration is lost while the I2C block is in the master mode (see status 0x68 and 0x78). If the AA bit is reset during a transfer, the I2C block will return a not acknowledge (logic 1) to SDA after the next received data byte. While AA is reset, the I2C block does not respond to its own slave address or a general call address. However, the I2C-bus is still monitored and address recognition may be resumed at any time by setting AA. This means that the AA bit may be used to temporarily isolate the I2C block from the I2C-bus. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

After its own slave address and the R bit have been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set and a valid status code can be read from I2STAT. This status code is used to vector to a state service routine, and the appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 151. The slave transmitter mode may also be entered if arbitration is lost while the I2C block is in the master mode (see state 0xB0). If the AA bit is reset during a transfer, the I2C block will transmit the last byte of the transfer and enter state 0xC0 or 0xC8. The I2C block is switched to the not addressed slave mode and will ignore the master receiver if it continues the transfer. Thus the master receiver receives all 1s as serial data. While AA is reset, the I2C block does not respond to its own slave address or a general call address. However, the I2C-bus is still monitored, and address recognition may be resumed at any time by setting AA.

  • 159. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces 11.8.5 Miscellaneous States There are two I2STAT codes that do not correspond to a defined I2C hardware state (see Table 152). These are discussed below. 11.8.6 I2STAT = 0xF8 This status code indicates that no relevant information is available because the serial interrupt flag, SI, is not yet set. This occurs between other states and when the I2C block is not involved in a serial transfer. 11.8.7 I2STAT = 0x00 This status code indicates that a bus error has occurred during an I2C serial transfer. A bus error is caused when a START or STOP condition occurs at an illegal position in the format frame. Examples of such illegal positions are during the serial transfer of an address byte, a data byte, or an acknowledge bit. A bus error may also be caused when external interference disturbs the internal I2C block signals. When a bus error occurs, SI is set. To recover from a bus error, the STO flag must be set and SI must be cleared. This causes the I2C block to enter the “not addressed” slave mode (a defined state) and to clear the STO flag (no other bits in I2CON are affected). The SDA and SCL lines are released (a STOP condition is not transmitted). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 159

Only the internal hardware is affected in the MST or addressed SLV modes. In all cases, the bus is released and the I2C block is switched to the not addressed SLV mode. STO is reset. 11.8.8 Some special cases The I2C hardware has facilities to handle the following special cases that may occur during a serial transfer: 11.8.9 Simultaneous repeated START conditions from two masters A repeated START condition may be generated in the master transmitter or master receiver modes. A special case occurs if another master simultaneously generates a repeated START condition (see Figure 37). Until this occurs, arbitration is not lost by either master since they were both transmitting the same data. If the I2C hardware detects a repeated START condition on the I2C-bus before generating a repeated START condition itself, it will release the bus, and no interrupt request is generated. If another master frees the bus by generating a STOP condition, the I2C block will transmit a normal START condition (state 0x08), and a retry of the total serial data transfer can commence. 11.8.10 Data transfer after loss of arbitration Arbitration may be lost in the master transmitter and master receiver modes (see Figure 31). Loss of arbitration is indicated by the following states in I2STAT; 0x38, 0x68, 0x78, and 0xB0 (see Figure 33 and Figure 34). If the STA flag in I2CON is set by the routines which service these states, then, if the bus is free again, a START condition (state 0x08) is transmitted without intervention by the CPU, and a retry of the total serial transfer can commence. 11.8.11 Forced access to the I2C-bus In some applications, it may be possible for an uncontrolled source to cause a bus hang-up. In such situations, the problem may be caused by interference, temporary interruption of the bus or a temporary short-circuit between SDA and SCL. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 161. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces If an uncontrolled source generates a superfluous START or masks a STOP condition, then the I2C-bus stays busy indefinitely. If the STA flag is set and bus access is not obtained within a reasonable amount of time, then a forced access to the I2C-bus is possible. This is achieved by setting the STO flag while the STA flag is still set. No STOP condition is transmitted. The I2C hardware behaves as if a STOP condition was received and is able to transmit a START condition. The STO flag is cleared by hardware (see Figure 34). 11.8.12 I2C-bus obstructed by a low level on SCL or SDA An I2C-bus hang-up occurs if SDA or SCL is pulled LOW by an uncontrolled source. If the SCL line is obstructed (pulled LOW) by a device on the bus, no further serial transfer is possible, and the I2C hardware cannot resolve this type of problem. When this occurs, the problem must be resolved by the device that is pulling the SCL bus line LOW. If the SDA line is obstructed by another device on the bus (e.g., a slave device out of bit synchronization), the problem can be solved by transmitting additional clock pulses on the SCL line (see Figure 39). The I2C hardware transmits additional clock pulses when the STA flag is set, but no START condition can be generated because the SDA line is pulled LOW while the I2C-bus is considered free. The I2C hardware attempts to generate a START condition after every two additional clock pulses on the SCL line. When the SDA line is eventually released, a normal START condition is transmitted, state 0x08 is entered, and the serial transfer continues. If a forced bus access occurs or a repeated START condition is transmitted while SDA is obstructed (pulled LOW), the I2C hardware performs the same action as described above. In each case, state 0x08 is entered after a successful START condition is transmitted and normal serial transfer continues. Note that the CPU is not involved in solving these bus hang-up problems. 11.8.13 Bus error A bus error occurs when a START or STOP condition is present at an illegal position in the format frame. Examples of illegal positions are during the serial transfer of an address byte, a data bit, or an acknowledge bit. The I2C hardware only reacts to a bus error when it is involved in a serial transfer either as a master or an addressed slave. When a bus error is detected, the I2C block immediately switches to the not addressed slave mode, releases the SDA and SCL lines, sets the interrupt flag, and loads the status register with 0x00. This status code may be used to vector to a state service routine which either attempts the aborted serial transfer again or simply recovers from the error condition as shown in Table 152. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 163. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 11: I2C interfaces • The 26 state service routines providing support for all four I2C operating modes. 11.8.15 Initialization In the initialization example, the I2C block is enabled for both master and slave modes. For each mode, a buffer is used for transmission and reception. The initialization routine performs the following functions: • I2ADR is loaded with the part’s own slave address and the general call bit (GC) • The I2C interrupt enable and interrupt priority bits are set • The slave mode is enabled by simultaneously setting the I2EN and AA bits in I2CON and the serial clock frequency (for master modes) is defined by loading CR0 and CR1 in I2CON. The master routines must be started in the main program. The I2C hardware now begins checking the I2C-bus for its own slave address and general call. If the general call or the own slave address is detected, an interrupt is requested and I2STAT is loaded with the appropriate state information. 11.8.16 I2C interrupt service When the I2C interrupt is entered, I2STAT contains a status code which identifies one of the 26 state services to be executed. 11.8.17 The State service routines Each state routine is part of the I2C interrupt routine and handles one of the 26 states. 11.8.18 Adapting State services to an application The state service examples show the typical actions that must be performed in response to the 26 I2C state codes. If one or more of the four I2C operating modes are not used, the associated state services can be omitted, as long as care is taken that the those states can never occur. In an application, it may be desirable to implement some kind of timeout during I2C operations, in order to trap an inoperative bus or a lost service routine. 11.9 Software example 11.9.1 Initialization routine Example to initialize I2C Interface as a Slave and/or Master. 1.

Compliant with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) specification. Synchronous, Serial, Full Duplex Communication. Combined SPI master and slave. Maximum data bit rate of one eighth of the input clock rate. 8 to 16 bits per transfer 12.2 Description 12.2.1 SPI overview SPI is a full duplex serial interfaces. It can handle multiple masters and slaves being connected to a given bus. Only a single master and a single slave can communicate on the interface during a given data transfer. During a data transfer the master always sends 8 to 16 bits of data to the slave, and the slave always sends a byte of data to the master. 12.2.2 SPI data transfers Figure 40 is a timing diagram that illustrates the four different data transfer formats that are available with the SPI. This timing diagram illustrates a single 8 bit data transfer. The first thing you should notice in this timing diagram is that it is divided into three horizontal parts. The first part describes the SCK and SSEL signals. The second part describes the MOSI and MISO signals when the CPHA variable is 0. The third part describes the MOSI and MISO signals when the CPHA variable is 1. In the first part of the timing diagram, note two points. First, the SPI is illustrated with CPOL set to both 0 and 1. The second point to note is the activation and de-activation of the SSEL signal. When CPHA = 1, the SSEL signal will always go inactive between data transfers. This is not guaranteed when CPHA = 0 (the signal can remain active). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 171

When a device is a master, the start of a transfer is indicated by the master having a byte of data that is ready to be transmitted. At this point, the master can activate the clock, and begin the transfer. The transfer ends when the last clock cycle of the transfer is complete. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 173. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 12: SPI When a device is a slave, and CPHA is set to 0, the transfer starts when the SSEL signal goes active, and ends when SSEL goes inactive. When a device is a slave, and CPHA is set to 1, the transfer starts on the first clock edge when the slave is selected, and ends on the last clock edge where data is sampled. 12.2.3 General information There are four registers that control the SPI peripheral. They are described in detail in Section 12.4 “Register description” on page 175. The SPI control register contains a number of programmable bits used to control the function of the SPI block. The settings for this register must be set up prior to a given data transfer taking place. The SPI status register contains read only bits that are used to monitor the status of the SPI interface, including normal functions, and exception conditions. The primary purpose of this register is to detect completion of a data transfer. This is indicated by the SPIF bit. The remaining bits in the register are exception condition indicators. These exceptions will be described later in this section. The SPI data register is used to provide the transmit and receive data bytes. An internal shift register in the SPI block logic is used for the actual transmission and reception of the serial data. Data is written to the SPI data register for the transmit case. There is no buffer between the data register and the internal shift register. A write to the data register goes directly into the internal shift register. Therefore, data should only be written to this register when a transmit is not currently in progress. Read data is buffered. When a transfer is complete, the receive data is transferred to a single byte data buffer, where it is later read. A read of the SPI data register returns the value of the read data buffer. The SPI clock counter register controls the clock rate when the SPI block is in master mode. This needs to be set prior to a transfer taking place, when the SPI block is a master. This register has no function when the SPI block is a slave. The I/Os for this implementation of SPI are standard CMOS I/Os. The open drain SPI option is not implemented in this design. When a device is set up to be a slave, its I/Os are only active when it is selected by the SSEL signal being active. 12.2.4 Master operation The following sequence describes how one should process a data transfer with the SPI block when it is set up to be the master. This process assumes that any prior data transfer has already completed. 1. Set the SPI clock counter register to the desired clock rate. 2. Set the SPI control register to the desired settings. 3. Write the data to transmitted to the SPI data register. This write starts the SPI data transfer. 4. Wait for the SPIF bit in the SPI status register to be set to 1. The SPIF bit will be set after the last cycle of the SPI data transfer. 5. Read the SPI status register. 6. Read the received data from the SPI data register (optional). 7. Go to step 3 if more data is required to transmit. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 173
  • 174. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 12: SPI Note that a read or write of the SPI data register is required in order to clear the SPIF status bit. Therefore, if the optional read of the SPI data register does not take place, a write to this register is required in order to clear the SPIF status bit. 12.2.5 Slave operation The following sequence describes how one should process a data transfer with the SPI block when it is set up to be a slave. This process assumes that any prior data transfer has already completed. It is required that the system clock driving the SPI logic be at least 8X faster than the SPI. 1. Set the SPI control register to the desired settings. 2. Write the data to transmitted to the SPI data register (optional). Note that this can only be done when a slave SPI transfer is not in progress. 3. Wait for the SPIF bit in the SPI status register to be set to 1. The SPIF bit will be set after the last sampling clock edge of the SPI data transfer. 4. Read the SPI status register. 5. Read the received data from the SPI data register (optional). 6. Go to step 2 if more data is required to transmit. Note that a read or write of the SPI data register is required in order to clear the SPIF status bit. Therefore, at least one of the optional reads or writes of the SPI data register must take place, in order to clear the SPIF status bit. 12.2.6 Exception conditions 12.2.7 Read Overrun A read overrun occurs when the SPI block internal read buffer contains data that has not been read by the processor, and a new transfer has completed. The read buffer containing valid data is indicated by the SPIF bit in the status register being active. When a transfer completes, the SPI block needs to move the received data to the read buffer. If the SPIF bit is active (the read buffer is full), the new receive data will be lost, and the read overrun (ROVR) bit in the status register will be activated. 12.2.8 Write Collision As stated previously, there is no write buffer between the SPI block bus interface, and the internal shift register. As a result, data must not be written to the SPI data register when a SPI data transfer is currently in progress. The time frame where data cannot be written to the SPI data register is from when the transfer starts, until after the status register has been read when the SPIF status is active. If the SPI data register is written in this time frame, the write data will be lost, and the write collision (WCOL) bit in the status register will be activated. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 175. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 12: SPI 12.2.9 Mode Fault The SSEL signal must always be inactive when the SPI block is a master. If the SSEL signal goes active, when the SPI block is a master, this indicates another master has selected the device to be a slave. This condition is known as a mode fault. When a mode fault is detected, the mode fault (MODF) bit in the status register will be activated, the SPI signal drivers will be de-activated, and the SPI mode will be changed to be a slave. 12.2.10 Slave Abort A slave transfer is considered to be aborted, if the SSEL signal goes inactive before the transfer is complete. In the event of a slave abort, the transmit and receive data for the transfer that was in progress are lost, and the slave abort (ABRT) bit in the status register will be activated. 12.3 Pin description Table 154: SPI pin description Pin Name Type Pin Description SCK0 Input/Output Serial Clock. The SPI is a clock signal used to synchronize the transfer of data across the SPI interface. The SPI is always driven by the master and received by the slave. The clock is programmable to be active high or active low. The SPI is only active during a data transfer. Any other time, it is either in its inactive state, or tri-stated. SSEL0 Input Slave Select. The SPI slave select signal is an active low signal that indicates which slave is currently selected to participate in a data transfer. Each slave has its own unique slave select signal input. The SSEL must be low before data transactions begin and normally stays low for the duration of the transaction. If the SSEL signal goes high any time during a data transfer, the transfer is considered to be aborted. In this event, the slave returns to idle, and any data that was received is thrown away. There are no other indications of this exception. This signal is not directly driven by the master. It could be driven by a simple general purpose I/O under software control. On the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 (unlike earlier Philips ARM devices) the SSEL0 pin can be used for a different function when the SPI0 interface is only used in Master mode. For example, pin hosting the SSEL0 function can be configured as an output digital GPIO pin and used to select one of the SPI0 slaves. MISO0 Input/Output Master In Slave Out. The MISO signal is a unidirectional signal used to transfer serial data from the slave to the master. When a device is a slave, serial data is output on this signal. When a device is a master, serial data is input on this signal. When a slave device is not selected, the slave drives the signal high impedance. MOSI0 Input/Output Master Out Slave In. The MOSI signal is a unidirectional signal used to transfer serial data from the master to the slave. When a device is a master, serial data is output on this signal. When a device is a slave, serial data is input on this signal. 12.4 Register description The SPI contains 5 registers as shown in Table 155.

It can interact with multiple masters and slaves on the bus. Only a single master and a single slave can communicate on the bus during a given data transfer. Data transfers are in principle full duplex, with frames of 4 to 16 bits of data flowing from the master to the slave and from the slave to the master. In practice it is often the case that only one of these data flows carries meaningful data. Table 161: SSP pin descriptions Pin Name Type SCK1 I/O Interface pin name/function SPI SSI Microwire SCK CLK SK Pin Description Serial Clock. SCK/CLK/SK is a clock signal used to synchronize the transfer of data. It is driven by the master and received by the slave. When SPI interface is used the clock is programmable to be active high or active low, otherwise it is always active high. SCK1 only switches during a data transfer. Any other time, the SSP either holds it in its inactive state, or does not drive it (leaves it in high impedance state). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

When the SSP is a bus master, it drives this signal from shortly before the start of serial data, to shortly after the end of serial data, to signify a data transfer as appropriate for the selected bus and mode. When the SSP is a bus slave, this signal qualifies the presence of data from the Master, according to the protocol in use. When there is just one bus master and one bus slave, the Frame Sync or Slave Select signal from the Master can be connected directly to the slave’s corresponding input. When there is more than one slave on the bus, further qualification of their Frame Select/Slave Select inputs will typically be necessary to prevent more than one slave from responding to a transfer. MISO1 I/O MISO DR(M) DX(S) SI(M) SO(S) Master In Slave Out. The MISO signal transfers serial data from the slave to the master. When the SSP is a slave, serial data is output on this signal. When the SSP is a master, it clocks in serial data from this signal. When the SSP is a slave and is not selected by SSEL, it does not drive this signal (leaves it in high impedance state). MOSI1 I/O MOSI DX(M) DR(S) SO(M) SI(S) Master Out Slave In. The MOSI signal transfers serial data from the master to the slave. When the SSP is a master, it outputs serial data on this signal.

Texas Instruments synchronous serial frame format: a) single and b) continuous/back-to-back two frames transfer For device configured as a master in this mode, CLK and FS are forced LOW, and the transmit data line DX is tristated whenever the SSP is idle. Once the bottom entry of the transmit FIFO contains data, FS is pulsed HIGH for one CLK 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 CLK, the MSB of the 4 to 16-bit data frame is shifted out on the DX pin. Likewise, the MSB of the received data is shifted onto the DR pin by the off-chip serial slave device. Both the SSP and the off-chip serial slave device then clock each data bit into their serial shifter on the falling edge of each CLK. The received data is transferred from the serial shifter to the receive FIFO on the first rising edge of CLK after the LSB has been latched. 13.3.2 SPI frame format The SPI interface is a four-wire interface where the SSEL signal behaves as a slave select. The main feature of the SPI format is that the inactive state and phase of the SCK signal are programmable through the CPOL and CPHA bits within the SSPCR0 control register. 13.3.3 Clock Polarity (CPOL) and Clock Phase (CPHA) control When the CPOL clock polarity control bit is LOW, it produces a steady state low value on the SCK pin.

When the CPHA phase control bit is LOW, data is captured on the first clock edge transition. If the CPHA clock phase control bit is HIGH, data is captured on the second clock edge transition. 13.3.4 SPI format with CPOL=0,CPHA=0 Single and continuous transmission signal sequences for SPI format with CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0 are shown in Figure 43.

  • 184. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 13: SSP In the case of a single word transmission, after all bits of the data word have been transferred, the SSEL line is returned to its idle HIGH state one SCK period after the last bit has been captured. However, in the case of continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSEL 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 CPHA bit is logic zero. Therefore the master device must raise the SSEL pin of the slave device between each data transfer to enable the serial peripheral data write. On completion of the continuous transfer, the SSEL pin is returned to its idle state one SCK period after the last bit has been captured. 13.3.5 SPI format with CPOL=0,CPHA=1 The transfer signal sequence for SPI format with CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1 is shown in Figure 44, which covers both single and continuous transfers.

Microwire frame format (single transfer) 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 SSP to the off-chip slave device. During this transmission, no incoming data is received by the SSP. 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: • The SK signal is forced LOW • CS is forced HIGH • The transmit data line SO is arbitrarily forced LOW A transmission is triggered by writing a control byte to the transmit FIFO.The falling edge of CS 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 SO pin. CS remains LOW for the duration of the frame transmission. The SI 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 SK. 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 SSP. Each bit is driven onto SI line on the falling edge of SK. The SSP in turn latches each bit on the rising edge of SK. At the end of the frame, for single transfers, the CS signal is pulled HIGH one clock period after the last bit has been latched in the receive serial shifter, that 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 SK after the LSB has been latched by the receive shiftier, or when the CS pin goes HIGH. For continuous transfers, data transmission begins and ends in the same manner as a single transfer. However, the CS 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 SK, after the LSB of the frame has been latched into the SSP. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Microwire frame format (continuos transfers) 13.3.9 Setup and hold time requirements on CS with respect to SK in Microwire mode In the Microwire mode, the SSP slave samples the first bit of receive data on the rising edge of SK after CS has gone LOW. Masters that drive a free-running SK must ensure that the CS signal has sufficient setup and hold margins with respect to the rising edge of SK. Figure 49 illustrates these setup and hold time requirements. With respect to the SK rising edge on which the first bit of receive data is to be sampled by the SSP slave, CS must have a setup of at least two times the period of SK on which the SSP operates.

UM10139 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual 14.1 Introduction The USB is a 4 wire bus that supports communication between a host and a number (127 max.) of peripherals. The host controller allocates the USB bandwidth to attached devices through a token based protocol. The bus supports hot plugging, un-plugging and dynamic configuration of the devices. All transactions are initiated by the host controller. The host schedules transactions in 1 ms frames. Each frame contains SoF marker and transactions that transfer data to/from device endpoints. Each device can have a maximum of 16 logical or 32 physical endpoints. There are 4 types of transfers defined or the endpoints. The control transfers are used to configure the device. The interrupt transfers are used for periodic data transfer. The bulk transfers are used when rate of transfer is not critical. The isochronous transfers have guaranteed delivery time but no error correction. The device controller enables 12 Mb/s data exchange with a USB host controller. It consists of register interface, serial interface engine, endpoint buffer memory and DMA controller. The serial interface engine decodes the USB data stream and writes data to the appropriate end point buffer memory. The status of a completed USB transfer or error condition is indicated via status registers. An interrupt is also generated if enabled. The DMA controller when enabled transfers data between the endpoint buffer and the USB RAM.

  • 197. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.5 Data Flow USB is a host controlled protocol, i.e., irrespective of whether the data transfer is from the host to the device or device to the host, transfer sequence is always initiated by the host. During data transfer from device to the host, the host sends an IN token to the device, following which the device responds with the data. 14.5.1 Data Flow from USB Host to the Device The USB device protocol engine receives the serial data from the ATX and converts it into a parallel data stream. The parallel data is sent to the RAM interface which in turn transfers the data to the endpoint buffer. The endpoint buffer is implemented as an SRAM based FIFO. Each realized endpoint will have a reserved space in the RAM. So the total RAM space required depends on the number of realized endpoints, maximum packet size of the endpoint and whether the endpoint supports double buffering. Data is written to the buffers with the header showing how many bytes are valid in the buffer. For non-isochronous endpoints, when a full data packet is received without any errors, the endpoint generates a request for data transfer from its FIFO by generating an interrupt to the system. Isochronous endpoint will have one packet of data to be transferred in every frame. So the data transfer has to be synchronized to the USB frame rather than packet arrival. So, for every 1 ms there will be an interrupt to the system. The data transfer follows the little endian format. The first byte received from the USB bus will be available in the least significant byte of the receive data register. 14.5.2 Data Flow from Device to the Host For data transfer from an endpoint to the host, the host will send an IN token to that endpoint. If the FIFO corresponding to the endpoint is empty, the device will return a NAK and will raise an interrupt to the system. On this interrupt the CPU fills a packet of data in the endpoint FIFO.The next IN token that comes after filling this packet will transfer this packet to the host. The data transfer follows the little endian format. The first byte sent on the USB bus will be the least significant byte of the transmit data register. 14.5.3 Slave Mode Transfer Slave data transfer is done through the interrupt issued from the USB device to the CPU. Reception of valid (error-free) data packet in any of the OUT non-isochronous endpoint buffer generates an interrupt. Upon receiving the interrupt, the software can read the data using receive length and data registers. When there is no empty buffer (for a given OUT non-isochronous endpoint), any data arrival generates an interrupt only if Interrupt on NAK feature for that endpoint type is enabled and the existing interrupt is cleared. For OUT isochronous endpoints, the data will always be written irrespective of the buffer status. There will be no interrupt generated specific to OUT isochronous endpoints other than the frame interrupt. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 198. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller Similarly, when a packet is successfully transferred to the host from any of IN non-isochronous endpoint buffer, an interrupt is generated. When there is no data available in any of the buffers (for a given IN non-isochronous endpoint), a data request generates an interrupt only if Interrupt on NAK feature for that endpoint type is enabled and existing interrupt is cleared. Upon receiving the interrupt, the software can load any data to be sent using transmit length and data registers. For IN isochronous endpoints, the data available in the buffer will be sent only if the buffer is validated; otherwise, an empty packet will be sent. Like OUT isochronous endpoints, there will be no interrupt generated specific to IN isochronous endpoints other than the frame interrupt. 14.5.4 DMA Mode Transfer (LPC2146/8 only) Under DMA mode operation the USB device will act as a master on the AHB bus and transfers the data directly from the memory to the endpoint buffer and vice versa. A duplex channel DMA acts as a AHB master on the bus. The endpoint 0 of USB (default control endpoint) will receive the setup packet. It will not be efficient to transfer this data to the USB RAM since the CPU has to decode this command and respond back to the host. So, this transfer will happen in the slave mode only. For each Isochronous endpoint, one packet transfer happens every frame. Hence, the DMA transfer has to be synchronized to the frame interrupt. The DMA engine also support Auto Transfer Length Extraction (ATLE) mode for bulk transfers. In this mode the DMA engine recovers the transfer size from the incoming packet stream. 14.6 Interfaces 14.6.1 Software Interface The software interface of the USB device block consists of a register view and the format definitions for the endpoint descriptors. These two aspects are addressed in the following sections. 14.6.2 Register Map The following registers are located in the AHB clock domain. The minimum AHB clock frequency should be 18 MHz. They can be accessed directly by the CPU. All registers are 32 bit wide and aligned in the word address boundaries. USB slave mode registers are located in the address region 0xE009 0000 to 0xE009 004C. All unused address in this region reads “DEADABBA”. DMA related registers are located in the address region 0xE009 0050 to 0xE009 00FC. All unused address in this region reads invalid data. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 198

It does not include reserved bits content. 14.7 USB Device register definitions 14.7.1 USB Interrupt Status register (USBIntSt - 0xE01F C1C0) The USB device has three interrupt output lines. The interrupts usb_int_req_Ip and usb_int_req_hp facilitates transfer of data in slave mode. These two interrupt lines are provided to allow two different priority (high/low) levels in slave mode transfer. Each of the individual endpoint interrupts can be routed to either high priority or low priority levels using corresponding bits in the Endpoint Interrupt Priority register (Section 14.7.11). The interrupt level is triggered with active high polarity. The external interrupt generation takes place only if the necessary ‘enable’ bits are set in the Device Interrupt Enable register (Section 14.7.3). Otherwise, they will be registered only in the status registers. The usb_int_req_dma is raised when an end_of_transfer or a system error has occurred. DMA data transfer is not dependent on this interrupt. The three interrupt output lines are ORed together to reduce the number of interrupt channels required for the USB device in the vectored interrupt controller. This register reflects the status of the each interrupt line. The USBIntSt is a read/write register.

Having a bit in the USBEpIntEn set to 1 implies operating in the slave mode. 14.7.9 USB Endpoint Interrupt Clear register (USBEpIntClr - 0xE009 0038) Writing a 1 to this bit clears the bit in the endpoint interrupt status register. Writing 0 will not have any impact. When the endpoint interrupt is cleared from this register, the hardware will clear the CDFULL bit in the Device Interrupt Status register. On completion of this action, the CDFULL bit will be set and the Command Data register will have the status of the endpoint. Endpoint Interrupt register and CDFULL bit of Device Interrupt status register are related through clearing of interrupts in USB clock domain. Whenever software attempts to clear a bit of Endpoint Interrupt register, hardware will clear CDFULL bit before it starts issuing "Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt" command (refer to Section 14.9.11 “Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt (Command: 0x40 - 0x5F, Data: read 1 byte)” on page 229) and sets the same bit when command data is available for reading. Software will have to wait for CDFULL bit to be set to '1' (whenever it expects data from hardware) before it can read Command Data register. Each physical endpoint has its own reserved bit in this register. The bit field definition is the same as the Endpoint Interrupt Status Register as shown in Table 172. The USBEpIntClr is a write only register.

If set 1 the interrupt will be routed to the fast interrupt bit of the device status register. Otherwise it will be routed to the slow endpoint interrupt bit.

For details see Section 14.9.2 “Configure Device (Command: 0xD8, Data: write 1 byte)” on page 223. 14.8 EP_RAM requirements The USB device controller uses dedicated RAM based FIFO (EP_RAM) as an endpoint buffer. Each endpoint has a reserved space in the EP_RAM. The EP_RAM size requirement for an endpoint depends on its Maxpacketsize and whether it is double buffered or not. 32 words of EP_RAM are used by the device for storing the buffer pointers. The EP_RAM is word aligned but the Maxpacketsize is defined in bytes hence the RAM depth has to be adjusted to the next word boundary. Also, each buffer has one word header showing the size of the packet length received. EP_ RAM size (in words) required for the physical endpoint can be expressed as EP_RAMsize = ((Maxpacketsize + 3) / 4 + 1) × db_status where db_status = 1 for single buffered endpoint and 2 for double buffered endpoint. Since all the realized endpoints occupy EP_RAM space, the total EP_RAM requirement is N TotalEPRAMsize = 32 + ∑ epramsize ( n ) n=0 where N is the number of realized endpoints. Total EP_RAM size should not exceed 2048 bytes (2 kB, 0.5 kwords). EP_RAM can be accessed by 3 sources, which are SIE, DMA engine and CPU. Among them, CPU has the highest priority followed by the SIE and DMA engine. The DMA engine has got the lowest priority. Then again, under the above mentioned 3 request sources, write request has got higher priority than read request. Typically, CPU does single word 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 209

The CPU and DMA engine operates at a higher clock frequency as compared to the SIE engine. The CPU cycles are valuable and so the CPU is given the highest priority. The CPU clock frequency is higher than the SIE operating frequency (12 MHz). The SIE will take 32 clock cycles for a word transfer. In general, this time translates to more than 32 clock cycles of the CPU in which it can do easily several accesses to the memory. 14.8.1 USB Endpoint Index register (USBEpIn - 0xE009 0048) Each endpoint has a register carrying the Maxpacket size value for that endpoint.This is in fact a register array. Hence before writing, this register has to be ‘addressed’ through the Endpoint Index register. The USBEpIn is a write only register. The Endpoint Index register will hold the physical endpoint number. Writing into the Maxpacket size register will set the array element pointed by the Endpoint Index register.

Other endpoints are assigned 0. Modifying MaxPacketSize register content will cause the buffer address of the internal RAM to be recalculated. This is essentially a multi-cycle process. At the end of it, the EP_RLZED bit will be set in the Device Interrupt Status register (Section 14.7.2). The USB MaxPacket register array indexing is shown in Figure 51.

  • 212. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller software can read this register to determine the number of bytes it has transferred to the EP_RAM. After each write to the Transmit Data register the hardware will decrement the contents of the Transmit Packet Length register. For lengths larger than the Maximum Packet Size, the software should submit data in steps of Maximum Packet Size and the remaining extra bytes in the last packet. For example, if the Maximum Packet Size is 64 bytes and the data buffer to be transferred is of length 130 bytes, then the software submits 64 bytes packet twice followed by 2 bytes in the last packet. So, a total of 3 packets are sent on USB. The USBTxPLen is a write only register.

Also the hardware fills the receive data register with the first word of the packet. The software can now start reading the Receive Data register (Section 14.8.3). When the end of packet is reached the Read Enable bit (RD_EN in Table 203) will be disabled by the control logic and RxENDPKT bit is set in the Device Interrupt Status register.

  • 213. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller If the software makes the Read Enable bit low midway, the reading will be terminated. In this case the data will remain in the EP_RAM. When the Read Enable signal is made high again for this endpoint, data will be read from the beginning. For writing data to an endpoint buffer, Write Enable bit (WR_EN in Table 203) should be made high and software should write to the Transmit Packet Length register (Section 14.8.6) the number of bytes it is going to send in the packet. It can then write data continuously in the Transmit Data register. When the control logic receives the number of bytes programmed in the Transmit Packet Length register, it will reset the Write Enable bit. The TxENDPKT bit is set in the Device Interrupt Status register. The software should issue a Validate Buffer (refer to Section 14.9.14 “Validate Buffer (Command: 0xFA, Data: none)” on page 230) command. The endpoint is now ready to send the packet. If the software resets this bit midway, writing will start again from the beginning. A synchronization mechanism is used to transfer data between the two clock domains i.e. AHB slave clock and the USB bit clock at 12 MHz. This synchronization process takes up to 5 clock cycles of the slow clock (i.e. 12 MHz) for reading/writing from/to a register before the next read/write can happen. The AHB HREADY output from the USB device is driven appropriately to take care of the timing. Both Read Enable and Write Enable bits can be high at the same time for the same logical endpoint. The interleaved read and write operation is possible. 14.8.9 USB Command Code register (USBCmdCode - 0xE009 0010) This register is used for writing the commands. The commands written here will get propagated to the Protocol Engine and will be executed there. After executing the command, the register will be empty, and the “CCEMTY” bit of the Interrupt Status register is set high. See Section 14.9 “Protocol engine command description” on page 222 for details. The USBCmdCode is a write only register.

It serves as a flag for DMA engine to start the data transfer if the DMA is enabled for this particular endpoint. Each endpoint has one reserved bit in this register. Hardware sets this bit when a realized endpoint needs to be serviced through DMA. Software can read the register content. DMA cannot be enabled for control endpoints (EP0 and EP1).

The software should not clear the DMA request clear bit while the DMA operation is in progress. But if at all the clearing happens, the behavior of DMA engine will depend on at what time the clearing is done. There can be more than one DMA requests pending at any given time. The DMA engine processes these requests serially (i.e starting from EP2 to EP31). If the DMA request for a particular endpoint is cleared before DMA operation has started for that request, then the DMA engine will never know about the request and no DMA operation on that endpoint will be done (till the next request appears). On the other hand, if the DMA request for a particular endpoint is cleared after the DMA operation corresponding to that request has begun, it does not matter even if the request is cleared, since the DMA engine has registered the endpoint number internally and will not sample the same request before finishing the current DMA operation. 14.8.13 USB DMA Request Set register (USBDMARSet - 0xE009 0058) Writing 1 into the register will set the corresponding interrupt from the DMA request register.

The DMA Request Set register is normally used for the test purpose. It is also useful in the normal operation mode to avoid a "lock" situation if the DMA is programmed after that the USB packets are already received. Normally the arrival of a packet generates an interrupt when it is completely received. This interrupt is used by the DMA to start working. This works fine as long as the DMA is programmed before the arrival of the packet (2 packets if double buffered). If the DMA is programmed "too late", the interrupts were already generated in slave mode (but not handled because the intention was to use the DMA) and when the DMA is programmed no interrupts are generated to "activate" it. In this case the usage of the DMA Request Set register is useful to manually start the DMA transfer. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.8.14 USB UDCA Head register (USBUDCAH - 0xE009 0080) The UDCA (USB Device Communication Area) Head register maintains the address where UDCA is allocated in the USB RAM (Figure 52). The USB RAM is part of the system memory which is used for the USB purposes. It is located at address 0x7FD0 0000 and is 8 kB in size. Note, however, DMA on endpoint 0 is not feasible. The UDCA has to be aligned to 128 - byte boundary and should be of size 128 bytes (32 words that correspond to 32 physical endpoints). Each word can point to a DMA descriptor of a physical endpoint or can point to NULL (i.e. zero value) when the endpoint is not enabled for DMA operation. This implies that the DMA descriptors need to be created only for the DMA enabled endpoints. Gaps can be there while realizing the endpoints and there is no need to keep dummy DMA descriptors. The DMA engine will not process the descriptors of the DMA disabled endpoints. The reset value for this register is 0. Refer to Section 14.10 “DMA descriptor” on page 230 and Section 14.11 “DMA operation” on page 234 for more details on DMA descriptors. The USBUDCAH is a read/write register.

  • 217. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.8.15 USB EP DMA Status register (USBEpDMASt - 0xE009 0084) This register indicates whether the DMA for a particular endpoint is enabled or disabled. Each endpoint has one bit assigned in the EP DMA Status register. Bit 0 corresponds to endpoint 0 and Bit 31 to endpoint 15 IN). DMA transfer for a specific endpoint can start only if its bit is set in the USBEpDMASt register. Hence, it is referred as DMA_ENABLE bit. If the bit in the EP DMA Status register is made 0 (by writing into EP DMA Disable register) in between a packet transfer, the current packet transfer will still be completed. After the current packet, DMA gets disabled. In other words, the packet transfer when started will end unless an error condition occurs. When error condition is detected the bit will be reset by the hardware. The USBEpDMASt is a read only register. Table 211: USB EP DMA Status register (USBEpDMASt - address 0xE009 0084) bit description Bit Symbol Value Description Reset value 0 EP0_DMA_ENABLE 0 Control endpoint OUT (DMA cannot be enabled for this endpoint and the EP0_DMA_ENABLE bit must be 0). 0 1 EP1_DMA_ENABLE 0 Control endpoint IN (DMA cannot be enabled for this 0 endpoint and the EP1_DMA_ENABLE bit must be 0). endpoint xx (2 ≤ xx ≤ 31) DMA enabled bit. 31:2 EPxx_DMA_ENABLE 0 The DMA for endpoint EPxx is disabled. 1 0 The DMA for endpoint EPxx is enabled.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.9.10 Select Endpoint (Command: 0x00 - 0x1F, Data: read 1 byte (optional)) The Select Endpoint command initializes an internal pointer to the start of the selected buffer in EP_RAM. Optionally, this command can be followed by a data read, which returns some additional information on the packet in the buffer. The command code of ‘select endpoint’ is equal to the physical endpoint number. In the case of single buffer, B_2_FULL bit is not valid.

For OUT endpoint if the next read buffers is full this bit is 1. ST Stalled endpoint indicator. 0 1 2 0 The selected endpoint is not stalled. The selected endpoint is stalled. STP Setup bit: the value of this bit is updated after each successfully 0 received packet (i.e. an ACKed package on that particular physical endpoint). 0 1 3 The STP bit is cleared by doing a Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt on this endpoint.

The previously received packet was over-written by a setup packet. EPN EP NAKed bit indicates sending of a NAK. If the host sends an 0 OUT packet to a filled OUT buffer, the device returns NAK. If the host sends an IN token to an empty IN buffer, the device returns NAK. 0 1 5 The EPN bit is reset after the device has sent an ACK after an OUT packet or when the device has seen an ACK after sending an IN packet.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.9.11 Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt (Command: 0x40 - 0x5F, Data: read 1 byte) Commands 0x40 to 0x5F are identical to their Select Endpoint equivalents, with the following differences: • They clear the associated interrupt in the USB clock domain only. • In case of a control out endpoint, they clear the setup and over-written bits • Reading one byte is obligatory. 14.9.12 Set Endpoint Status (Command: 0x40 - 0x55, Data: write 1 byte (optional)) The Set Endpoint Status command sets status bits ‘7:5’ and 0 of the endpoint. The Command Code of Set Endpoint Status is equal to the sum of 0x40 and the physical endpoint number in hex value. Not all bits can be set for all types of endpoints. Table 233: Set Endpoint Status Register bit description Bit Symbol 0 Value ST Description Reset value Stalled endpoint bit. A Stalled control endpoint is automatically Unstalled when it receives a SETUP token, regardless of the content of the packet. If the endpoint should stay in its stalled state, the CPU can un-stall it. 0 When a stalled endpoint is unstalled - either by the Set Endpoint Status command or by receiving a SETUP token - it is also re-initialized. This flushes the buffer: in case of an OUT buffer it waits for a DATA 0 PID; in case of an IN buffer it writes a DATA 0 PID. There is no change on the interrupt status of the endpoint. Even when unstalled, setting the stalled bit to 0 initializes the endpoint. When an endpoint is stalled by the Set Endpoint Status command it is also re-initialized. The command to set the conditional stall bit will be ignored if the ‘Setup Packet’ bit is set (the EP will not be reset and no status bits will change). 0 1 4:1 5 The endpoint is unstalled. The endpoint is stalled. - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. NA Disabled endpoint bit. 0 DA 0 1 6 The endpoint is enabled. The endpoint is disabled. RF_MO Rate Feedback Mode. 0 0 1 7 Interrupt endpoint is in the Toggle mode. Interrupt endpoint is in the Rate Feedback mode. This means that transfer takes place without data toggle bit.

  • 230. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.9.13 Clear Buffer (Command: 0xF2, Data: read 1 byte (optional)) When a packet sent by the host has been received successfully, an internal Endpoint Buffer Full flag is set. All subsequent packets will be refused by returning a NAK. When the CPU has read the data, it should free the buffer by the Clear Buffer command. When the buffer is cleared, new packets will be accepted. When bit 0 of the optional data byte is 1, the previously received packet was over-written by a SETUP packet. The Packet overwritten bit is used only in control transfers. According to the USB specification, SETUP packet should be accepted irrespective of the buffer status. The software should always check the status of the PO bit after reading the SETUP data. If it is set then it should discard the previously read data, clear the PO bit by issuing a Select Endpoint/Clear Interrupt command, read the new SETUP data and again check the status of the PO bit. Table 234: Clear Buffer Register bit description Bit Symbol Value Description Reset value 0 PO 0 Packet over-written bit. This bit is only applicable to the control endpoint EP0. 0 1 7:1 - The previously received packet is intact. The previously received packet was over-written by a later SETUP packet. - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The NA value read from a reserved bit is not defined. 14.9.14 Validate Buffer (Command: 0xFA, Data: none) When the CPU has written data into an IN buffer, it should set the buffer full flag by the Validate Buffer command. This indicates that the data in the buffer is valid and can be sent to the host when the next IN token is received. A control IN buffer cannot be validated when the Packet Over-written bit of its corresponding OUT buffer is set or when the Set up packet is pending in the buffer. For the control endpoint the validated buffer will be invalidated when a Setup packet is received. 14.10 DMA descriptor A DMA transfer can be characterized by a structure describing these parameters. This structure is called the DMA Descriptor (DD). The DMA descriptors are placed in the USB RAM. These descriptors can be located anywhere in the USB RAM in the wordaligned boundaries. USB RAM is part of the system memory which is used for the USB purposes. It is located at address 0x7FD0 0000 and is 8192 bytes (8 kB) in size. DD for non-isochronous endpoints are four-word long and isochronous endpoints are five-word long. Total USB RAM required for DD is: Total_USBDDRAM = (No.of_non-ISOendpoints × 4 + No.of_ISOendpoints × 5) 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 232. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.10.2 DMA_mode Defines in which mode the DMA has to operate. Two modes have been defined, Normal and ATLE. In the normal mode the DMA engine will not split a packet into two different DMA buffers. In the ATLE mode splitting of the packet into two buffers can happen. This is because two transfers can be concatenated in the packet to improve the bandwidth. See Section 14.13 “Concatenated transfer (ATLE) mode operation” on page 236 for more details. 14.10.3 Next_DD_valid This bit indicates whether the software has prepared the next DMA descriptor. If it is valid, the DMA engine once finished with the current descriptor will load the new descriptor. 14.10.4 Isochronous_endpoint The descriptor belongs to an isochronous endpoint. Hence, 5 words have to be read. 14.10.5 Max_packet_size The maximum packet size of the endpoint. This parameter has to be used while transferring the data for IN endpoints from the memory. It is used for OUT endpoints to detect the short packet. This is applicable to non-isochronous endpoints only. The max_packet_size field should be the same as the value set in the MaxPacketSize register for the endpoint. 14.10.6 DMA_buffer_length This indicates the depth of the DMA buffer allocated for transferring the data. The DMA engine will stop using this descriptor when this limit is reached and will look for the next descriptor. This will be set by the software in the normal mode operation for both IN and OUT endpoints.In the ATLE mode operation the buffer_length is set by software for IN endpoints. For OUT endpoints this is set by the hardware from the extracted length of the data stream. In case of the Isochronous endpoints the DMA_buffer_length is specified in terms of number of packets. 14.10.7 DMA_buffer_start_addr The address from where the data has to be picked up or to be stored. This field is updated packet-wise by DMA engine. 14.10.8 DD_retired This bit is set when the DMA engine finishes the current descriptor. This will happen when the end of the buffer is reached or a short packet is transferred (no isochronous endpoints) or an error condition is detected. 14.10.9 DD_status The status of the DMA transfer is encoded in this field. The following status are defined: • Not serviced - No packet has been transferred yet. DD is in the initial position itself. • Being serviced - This status indicates that at least one packet is transferred. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 232
  • 233. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller • Normal completion - The DD is retired because the end of the buffer is reached and there were no errors. DD_retired bit also is set. • Data under run - Before reaching the end of the buffer, transfer is terminated because a short packet is received. DD_retired bit also is set. • Data over run - End of the DMA buffer is reached in the middle of a packet transfer. This is an error situation. DD_retired bit will be set. The DMA count will show the value of DMA buffer length. The packet has to be re-transmitted from the FIFO. DMA_ENABLE bit is reset. • System error - Transfer is terminated because of an error in the system bus. DD_retired bit is not set in this case. DMA_ENABLE bit is reset. Since system error can happen while updating the DD, the DD fields in the USB RAM may not be very reliable. 14.10.10 Packet_valid This bit indicates whether the last packet transferred to the memory is received with errors or not. This bit will be set if the packet is valid, i.e., it was received without errors. Since non-isochronous endpoint will not generate DMA request for packet with errors, this field will not make much sense to them as it will be set for all packets transferred. But for isochronous endpoints this information is useful. See Section 14.14 “Isochronous Endpoint Operation” on page 240 for isochronous endpoint operation. 14.10.11 LS_byte_extracted Applicable only in the ATLE mode. This bit set indicates that the Least Significant Byte (LSB) of the transfer length has been already extracted. The extracted size will be reflected in the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field in the bits 23:16. 14.10.12 MS_byte_extracted Applicable only in the ATLE mode. This bit set indicates that the Most Significant Byte (MSB) of the transfer size has been already extracted. The size extracted will be reflected in the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field at 31:24. Extraction stops when ‘LS_Byte_extracted’ and ‘MS_byte_extracted’ fields are set. 14.10.13 Present_DMA_count The number of bytes transferred by the DMA engine at any point of time. This is updated packet-wise by the DMA engine when it updates the descriptor. In case of the Isochronous endpoints the Present_DMA_count is specified in terms of number of packets transferred. 14.10.14 Message_length_position This applies only in the ATLE mode. This field gives the offset of the message length position embedded in the packet. This is applicable only for OUT endpoints. Offset 0 indicates that the message length starts from the first byte of the packet onwards. 14.10.15 Isochronous_packetsize_memory_address The memory buffer address where the packet size information along with the frame number has to be transferred or fetched. See Figure 55. This is applicable to isochronous endpoints only. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 233
  • 234. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.11 DMA operation 14.11.1 Triggering the DMA engine An endpoint will raise a DMA request when the slave mode transfer is disabled by setting the corresponding bit in Endpoint Interrupt Enable register to 0 (Section 14.7.8). The DMA transfer for an OUT endpoint is triggered when it receives a packet without any errors (i.e., the buffer is full) and the DMA_ENABLE (Section 14.8.15 “USB EP DMA Status register (USBEpDMASt - 0xE009 0084)”) bit is set for this endpoint. Transfer for an IN endpoint is triggered when the host requests for a packet of data and the DMA_ENABLE bit is set for this endpoint. In DMA mode, the bits corresponding to Interrupt on NAK for Bulk OUT and Interrupt OUT endpoints (bit INAK_BO and INAK_IO) in Set Mode register (Section 14.9.3 “Set Mode (Command: 0xF3, Data: write 1 byte)”) should be reset to 0. 14.11.2 Arbitration between endpoints If more than one endpoint is requests for data transfer at the same time the endpoint with lower physical endpoint number value gets the priority. 14.12 Non Isochronous Endpoints - Normal Mode operation 14.12.1 Setting up DMA transfer The software prepares the DDs for the physical endpoints that need DMA transfer. These DDs are present in the USB RAM. Also, the start address of the first DD is programmed into the DDP location for the corresponding endpoint. The software will then set the DMA_ENABLE bit for this endpoint in the EP DMA Status register (Section 14.8.15).The ‘dma_mode’ bits in the descriptor has to be set to ‘00’ for normal mode operation. It should also initialize all the bits in the DD as given in the table. 14.12.2 Finding DMA Descriptor When there is a trigger for a DMA transfer for an endpoint, DMA engine will first determine whether a new descriptor has to the fetched or not. A new descriptor need not have to be fetched if the last transfer was also made for the same endpoint and the DD is not yet in the ‘retired’ state. A flag called ‘DMA_PROCEED’ is used to identify this (see Section 14.12.4 “Optimizing Descriptor Fetch” on page 235). If a new descriptor has to be read, the DMA engine will calculate the location of the DDP for this endpoint and will fetch the start address of DD from this location. A DD start address at location zero is considered invalid. In this case a ‘new_dd_request’ interrupt is raised. All other word boundaries are valid. At any point of time if the DD is to be fetched, the status of DD (word 3) is read first and the status of the ‘DD_retired’ bit is checked. If this is not set, DDP points to a valid DD. If the ‘DD_retired’ bit is set, the DMA engine will read the ‘control’ field (word 1) of the DD. If the bit ‘next_DD_valid’ bit’ is set, the DMA engine will fetch the ‘next_dd_pointer’ field (word 0) of the DD and load it to the DDP. The new DDP is written to the UDCA area. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 234
  • 235. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller The full DMA descriptor (4 words) will in turn be fetched from this address pointed by DDP. The DD will give the details of the transfer to be done. The DMA engine will load its hardware resources with the information fetched from the DD (start address, DMA count etc.). If the ‘next_dd_valid’ is not set and the DD_retired bit is set the DMA engine will raise the ‘NEW_DD_REQUEST’ interrupt for this endpoint. It also disables the DMA_ENABLE bit. USB RAM 0 UDCA Head Register 1 DD-EP2 2 DDP-EP2 USB Device Controller 31 DD-EP31 DDP-EP31 Fig 53. Finding the DMA descriptor 14.12.3 Transferring the Data In case of OUT endpoints, the current packet will be read from the EP_RAM by the DMA Engine and will get transferred to the USB RAM memory locations starting from the address pointed by ‘dma_buffer_start_addr’. In case of IN endpoints, the data will be fetched from the USB RAM and will be written to the EP_RAM. The ‘dma_buffer_start_addr’ and ‘present_dma_count’ will get updated while the transfer progresses. 14.12.4 Optimizing Descriptor Fetch A DMA transfer normally involves multiple packet transfers. If a DD once fetched is equipped to do multiple transfers, the hardware will not fetch DD for all the succeeding packets. It will do the fetching only if the previous packet transferred on this channel does not belong to this endpoint. This is on the assumption that the current contents of the hardware resource and that of the descriptor to be fetched will be the same. In such a case DMA engine can proceed without fetching the new descriptor if it has not transferred enough data specified in the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field of the descriptor. To keep this information the hardware will have a flag set called ‘DMA_PROCEED’. This flag will be reset after the required number of bytes specified in the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field is transferred. It is also reset when the software writes into the EP DMA Disable register. This will give the software control over the reading of DD by the hardware. Hardware will be forced to read the DD for the next packet. Writing data 0x0 into the EP DMA Disable register will cause only resetting of the DMA_PROCEED flag without disabling DMA for any endpoint. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 236. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.12.5 Ending the packet transfer The DMA engine will write back the DD with an updated status to the same memory location from where it was read. The ‘dma_buffer_start_addr’, ‘present_dma_count’ and the status bits field in the DD gets updated. Only words 2 and 3 are updated by hardware in this mode. A DD can have the following types of completion: Normal completion - If the current packet is fully transferred and the ‘dma_count’ field equals the ‘dma_buffer_length’ defined in the descriptor, the DD has a normal completion. The DD will be written back to memory with ‘DD_retired’ bit set. END_OF_TRANSFER interrupt is raised for this endpoint. DD_Status bits are updated for ‘normal_completion’ code. Transfer end completion - If the current packet is fully transferred and its size is less than the ‘max_packet_size’ defined in the descriptor, and the end of the buffer is still not reached the transfer end completion occurs. The DD will be written back to the memory with ‘DD_retired’ bit set and DD_Status bits showing ‘data under run’ completion code. Also, the ‘END_OF_TRANSFER’ interrupt for this endpoint is raised. Error completion - If the current packet is partially transferred i.e. end of the DMA buffer is reached in the middle of the packet transfer, an error situation occurs. The DD is written back with DD_status ‘data over run’ and ‘DD_retired’ bit is set. The DMA engine will raise the end of transfer interrupt and resets the corresponding bit for this endpoint in the ‘DMA_ENABLE’ register. This packet will be retransmitted to the memory fully when DMA_ENABLE bit is set again. 14.12.6 No_Packet DD For IN transfers, it can happen that for a request, the system does not have any data to send for a long time. The system can suppress this request by programming a no_packet DD. This is done by setting the ‘Maxpacketsize’ and ‘dma_buffer_length’ in the DD control field to 0. No packets will be sent to the host in response to the no_packet DD. 14.13 Concatenated transfer (ATLE) mode operation Some host drivers like ‘NDIS’ (Network Driver Interface Standard) are capable of concatenating small transfers (delta transfers) to form a single large transfer. The device hardware should be able to break up this single transfer back into delta transfers and transfer them to different DMA buffers. This is achieved in the ATLE mode operation. This is applicable only for Bulk endpoints. In ATLE mode, the Host driver can concatenate various transfer lengths, which correspond to different DMA descriptors on Device side. And these transfers have to be done on USB without breaking the packet. This is the primary difference between the Normal Mode of DMA operation and ATLE mode, wherein one DMA transfer length ends with either a full USB packet or a short packet and next DMA transfer length starts with a new USB packet in Normal mode, but these two transfers may be concatenated in the last USB packet of the first DMA transfer in ATLE mode. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 237. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller Data to be sent by Host Driver Data in packets as seen on USB Data to be stored in USB RAM by DMA Engine 160 bytes 64 bytes 160 bytes DMA_buffer_start_ address of DD1 64 bytes 32 bytes 32 bytes 100 bytes 100 bytes 64 bytes DMA_buffer_start_ address of DD2 4 bytes Fig 54. Data transfer in ATLE mode Figure 54 shows a typical OUT transfer, where the host concatenates two DMA transfer lengths of 160 bytes and 100 bytes respectively. As seen on USB, there would be four packets of 64 bytes (MPS = 64) and a short packet of 4 bytes in ATLE mode unlike Normal mode with five packets of 64, 64, 32, 64, 36 bytes in the given order. It is now responsibility of the DMA engine to separate these two transfers and put them in proper memory locations as pointed by the "DMA_buffer_start_address" field of DMA Descriptor 1 (DD1) and DMA Descriptor 2 (DD2). There are two things in OUT transfer of ATLE mode, which differentiate it from the OUT transfer in Normal mode of DMA operation. The first one is that the Device software does not know the "DMA_buffer_length" of the incoming transfer and hence this field in DD is programmed to 0. But by the NDIS protocol, device driver does know at which location in the incoming data transfer, will the transfer length be stored. This value is programmed in the field "Message_length_position" of the DD. It is responsibility of the hardware to read the two byte wide "DMA_buffer_length" at the offset (from start of transfer) specified by "Message_length_position", from incoming data and write it in "DMA_buffer_length" field of the DD. Once this information is extracted from the incoming data and updated in the DD, the transfer continues as in Normal mode of operation. It may happen that the message length position points to the last byte in the USB packet, which means that out of two bytes of buffer length, first (LS) byte is available in the current packet, and the second (MS) byte would follow in the next packet. To deal with such situations, the flags "LS_byte_extracted" and "MS_byte_extracted" are used by hardware. When the hardware reads the LS byte (which is the last byte of USB packet), it writes the contents of LS byte in position (23:16) of "DMA_buffer_length" field, sets the flag "LS_byte_extracted" to 1 and updates the DD in System memory (since the packet transfer is over). 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 238. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller On reception of the next packet, looking at "LS_byte_extracted" field 1 and "MS_byte_extracted" field 0, hardware knows that it has to read the first incoming byte as MS byte of buffer length, update the position (31:24) of "DMA_buffer_length" with the read contents and set the flag "MS_byte_extracted". After the extraction of MS byte of DMA buffer length, the transfer continues as in Normal mode of operation. The second thing, which differentiates the ATLE mode OUT transfer from Normal mode OUT transfer, is the behavior in case when DD is retired in between a USB packet transfer. As can be seen in the figure earlier, the first 32 bytes of the 3rd packet correspond to DD1 and the remaining 32 bytes correspond to DD2. In such a situation, on reception of first 32 bytes, the first DD (i.e. DD1) is retired and updated in the system memory, the new DD (pointed by "next_DD_pointer") is fetched and the remaining 32 bytes are transferred to the location in system memory pointed by "DMA_buffer_start_address" of new DD (i.e. DD2). It should be noted that in ATLE mode, the software will always program the "LS_byte_extracted" and "MS_byte_extracted" fields to 0 while preparing a DD, and hence on fetching the DD2 in above situation, the Buffer Length Extraction process will start again as described earlier. In case if the first DD is retired in between the packet transfer and the next DD is not programmed, i.e. "next_DD_valid" field in DD1 is 0, then the first DD is retired with the status "data over run" (DD_status = 1000), which has to be treated as an err or condition and the DMA channel for that particular endpoint is disabled by the hardware. Otherwise the first DD is retired with status "normal completion" (DD_status = 0010). Please note that in this mode the last buffer length to be transferred would always end with a short packet or empty packet indicating that no more concatenated data is coming on the way. If the concatenated transfer lengths are such that the last transfer ends on a packet boundary, the (NDIS) host will send an empty packet to mark the End Of Transfer. IN Transfer in ATLE mode The operation in IN transfers is relatively simple than the OUT transfer in ATLE mode since device software knows the buffer length to be transferred and it is programmed in "DMA_buffer_length" field while preparing the DD, thus avoiding any transfer length extraction mechanism. The only difference for IN transfers between ATLE mode and Normal mode of DMA operation is that the DDs can get retired in the middle of the USB packet transfer. In such a case, the hardware will update the first DD in system memory, fetch the new DD pointed by "next_DD_pointer" field of the first DD and fetch the remaining bytes from system memory pointed by "DMA_buffer_start_address" of second DD to complete the packet before sending it on USB. In the above situation, if the next DD is not programmed, i.e. "next_DD_valid" field in DD is 0, and the buffer length for current DD has completed before the packet boundary, then the available bytes from current DD are sent as a short packet on USB, which marks the End Of Transfer for the Host. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 239. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller In cases, where the intended buffer lengths are already transferred and the last buffer length has completed on the USB packet boundary, it is responsibility of Device software to program the next DD with "DMA_buffer_length" field 0, after which an empty packet is sent on USB by the hardware to mark the End Of Transfer for the Host. 14.13.1 Setting up the DMA transfer There is an additional field in the descriptor called ‘message_length_position’ which has to be set for the OUT endpoints.This indicates the start location of the message length in the incoming data packet. Also the software will set the ‘dma_buffer_length’ field to ‘0’ for OUT endpoints as this field has to be updated by hardware. For IN endpoints, descriptors are to be set in the same way as the normal mode operation. Since a single packet can have two transfers which has to be transferred or collected from different DMA buffers, the software should keep two buffers ready always, except for the last delta transfer which ends with a short packet. 14.13.2 Finding the DMA Descriptor DMA descriptors are found in the same way as the normal mode operation. 14.13.3 Transferring the Data For OUT end points if the ‘LS_byte_extracted’ or ‘MS_byte_extracted’ bit in the status field is not set, the hardware will extract the transfer length from the data stream. ‘dma_buffer_length’ field is derived from this information which is 2 bytes long. Once the extraction is complete both the ‘LS_byte_extracted’ and ‘MS_byte_extracted’ bits will be set. For IN endpoints transfer proceeds like the normal mode and continues till the number of bytes transferred equals the ‘dma_buffer_length’. 14.13.4 Ending the packet transfer DMA engine proceeds with the transfer till the number of bytes specified in the field ‘dma_buffer_length’ gets transferred to or from the USB RAM. END_OF_TRANSFER interrupt will be generated. If this happens in the middle of the packet, the linked DD will get loaded and the remaining part of the packet gets transferred to or from the address pointed by the new DD. For an OUT endpoint if the linked DD is not valid and the packet is partially transferred to memory, the DD ends with data_over_run status set and DMA will be disabled for this endpoint. Otherwise DD_status will be updated with ‘normal completion’. For an IN endpoint if the linked DD is not valid and the packet is partially transferred to USB, DD ends with ‘normal completion’ and the packet will be sent as a short packet (since this situation is the end of transfer). Also, when the linked DD is valid and buffer length is 0, a short packet will be sent. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 240. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 14: USB Device Controller 14.14 Isochronous Endpoint Operation In case of isochronous endpoint operation the packet size can vary on each and every packet. There will be one packet per isochronous endpoint at every frame. 14.14.1 Setting up of DMA transfer For Isochronous DMA descriptor the DMA length is set in terms of the number of frames the transfer is to be made rather than the number of bytes. The DMA count is also updated in terms of the number of frames. 14.14.2 Finding the DMA Descriptor Finding the descriptor is done in the same way as that for a non isochronous endpoint. DMA descriptor has a bit field in the word 1 (isochronous_endpoint) to indicate that the descriptor belongs to an isochronous endpoint. Also, isochronous DD has a fifth word showing where the packet length for the frame has to be put (for OUT endpoint) or from where it has to be read. DMA request will be placed for DMA enabled isochronous endpoints on every frame interrupt. For a DMA request the DMA engine will fetch the descriptor and if it identifies that the descriptor belongs to an Isochronous endpoint, it will fetch the fifth word of the DD which will give the location from where the packet length has to be placed or fetched. 14.14.3 Transferring the Data The data is transferred to or from the memory location pointed by the dma_buffer_start_addr. After the end of the packet transfer the dma_count value is incremented by 1. For an OUT transfer a word is formed by combining the frame number and the packet length such that the packet length appears at the least significant 2 bytes (15 to 0). Bit 16 shows whether the packet is valid or not (set when packet is valid i.e. it was received without any errors). The frame number appears in the most significant 2 bytes (bit 31 to 17). The frame number is available from the USB device. This word is then transferred to the address location pointed by the variable Isochronous_packet_size_memory_address. The Isochronous_packet_size_memory_address is incremented by 4 after receiving or transmitting an Isochronous data packet. The Isochronous_packet_size memory buffer should be big enough to hold information of all packets sent by the host. For an IN endpoint only the bits from 15 to 0 are applicable. An Isochronous data packet of size specified by this field is transferred from the USB device to the Host in each frame. If the size programmed in this location is zero an empty packet will be sent by the USB device. The Isochronous endpoint works only in the normal mode DMA operation. An Isochronous endpoint can have only ‘normal completion’ since there is no short packet on Isochronous endpoint and the transfer continues infinitely till a system error occurs. Also, there is no data_over_run detection. 9397 750 XXXXX User manual © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 240

NA 15.5.3 Count Control Register (CTCR, TIMER0: T0CTCR - 0xE000 4070 and TIMER1: T1TCR - 0xE000 8070) The Count Control Register (CTCR) is used to select between Timer and Counter mode, and in Counter mode to select the pin and edge(s) for counting. When Counter Mode is chosen as a mode of operation, the CAP input (selected by the CTCR bits 3:2) is sampled on every rising edge of the PCLK clock. After comparing two consecutive samples of this CAP input, one of the following four events is recognized: rising edge, falling edge, either of edges or no changes in the level of the selected CAP input. Only if the identified event corresponds to the one selected by bits 1:0 in the CTCR register, the Timer Counter register will be incremented. Effective processing of the externally supplied clock to the counter has some limitations. Since two successive rising edges of the PCLK clock are used to identify only one edge on the CAP selected input, the frequency of the CAP input can not exceed one half of the PCLK clock. Consequently, duration of the high/low levels on the same CAP input in this case can not be shorter than 1/PCLK.

However, capture and/or interrupt can be selected for the other 3 CAPn inputs in the same timer. 7:4 - - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits.

NA 15.5.4 Timer Counter (TC, TIMER0: T0TC - 0xE000 4008 and TIMER1: T1TC - 0xE000 8008) The 32-bit Timer Counter is incremented when the Prescale Counter reaches its terminal count. Unless it is reset before reaching its upper limit, the TC will count up through the value 0xFFFF FFFF and then wrap back to the value 0x0000 0000. This event does not cause an interrupt, but a Match register can be used to detect an overflow if needed. 15.5.5 Prescale Register (PR, TIMER0: T0PR - 0xE000 400C and TIMER1: T1PR - 0xE000 800C) The 32-bit Prescale Register specifies the maximum value for the Prescale Counter. 15.5.6 Prescale Counter Register (PC, TIMER0: T0PC - 0xE000 4010 and TIMER1: T1PC - 0xE000 8010) The 32-bit Prescale Counter controls division of PCLK by some constant value before it is applied to the Timer Counter. This allows control of the relationship of the resolution of the timer versus the maximum time before the timer overflows. The Prescale Counter is incremented on every PCLK. When it reaches the value stored in the Prescale Register, the Timer Counter is incremented and the Prescale Counter is reset on the next PCLK. This causes the TC to increment on every PCLK when PR = 0, every 2 PCLKs when PR = 1, etc. 15.5.7 Match Registers (MR0 - MR3) The Match register values are continuously compared to the Timer Counter value. When the two values are equal, actions can be triggered automatically. The action possibilities are to generate an interrupt, reset the Timer Counter, or stop the timer. Actions are controlled by the settings in the MCR register. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 247

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 15: TIMER0 and TIMER1 15.5.9 Capture Registers (CR0 - CR3) Each Capture register is associated with a device pin and may be loaded with the Timer Counter value when a specified event occurs on that pin. The settings in the Capture Control Register register determine whether the capture function is enabled, and whether a capture event happens on the rising edge of the associated pin, the falling edge, or on both edges. 15.5.10 Capture Control Register (CCR, TIMER0: T0CCR - 0xE000 4028 and TIMER1: T1CCR - 0xE000 8028) The Capture Control Register is used to control whether one of the four Capture Registers is loaded with the value in the Timer Counter when the capture event occurs, and whether an interrupt is generated by the capture event. Setting both the rising and falling bits at the same time is a valid configuration, resulting in a capture event for both edges. In the description below, "n" represents the Timer number, 0 or 1.

UM10139 Chapter 16: Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual LPC2141/2/4/6/8 Pulse Width Modulator is based on standard Timer/Counter 0/1 described in the previous chapter. Application can choose among PWM and match functions available. 16.1 Features • Seven match registers allow up to 6 single edge controlled or 3 double edge controlled PWM outputs, or a mix of both types. The match registers also allow: – Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match. – Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation. – Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation. • An external output for each match register with the following capabilities: – Set low on match. – Set high on match. – Toggle on match. – Do nothing on match. • Supports single edge controlled and/or double edge controlled PWM outputs. Single edge controlled PWM outputs all go high at the beginning of each cycle unless the output is a constant low. Double edge controlled PWM outputs can have either edge occur at any position within a cycle. This allows for both positive going and negative going pulses. • Pulse period and width can be any number of timer counts. This allows complete flexibility in the trade-off between resolution and repetition rate. All PWM outputs will occur at the same repetition rate. • Double edge controlled PWM outputs can be programmed to be either positive going or negative going pulses. • Match register updates are synchronized with pulse outputs to prevent generation of erroneous pulses. Software must "release" new match values before they can become effective. • May be used as a standard timer if the PWM mode is not enabled. • A 32-bit Timer/Counter with a programmable 32-bit Prescaler. • Four 32-bit capture channels take a snapshot of the timer value when an input signal transitions. A capture event may also optionally generate an interrupt. 16.2 Description The PWM is based on the standard Timer block and inherits all of its features, although only the PWM function is pinned out on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8. The Timer is designed to count cycles of the peripheral clock (PCLK) and optionally generate interrupts or perform other actions when specified timer values occur, based on seven match registers.

  • 254. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 16: PWM includes four capture inputs to save the timer value when an input signal transitions, and optionally generate an interrupt when those events occur. The PWM function is in addition to these features, and is based on match register events. The ability to separately control rising and falling edge locations allows the PWM to be used for more applications. For instance, multi-phase motor control typically requires three non-overlapping PWM outputs with individual control of all three pulse widths and positions. Two match registers can be used to provide a single edge controlled PWM output. One match register (PWMMR0) controls the PWM cycle rate, by resetting the count upon match. The other match register controls the PWM edge position. Additional single edge controlled PWM outputs require only one match register each, since the repetition rate is the same for all PWM outputs. Multiple single edge controlled PWM outputs will all have a rising edge at the beginning of each PWM cycle, when an PWMMR0 match occurs. Three match registers can be used to provide a PWM output with both edges controlled. Again, the PWMMR0 match register controls the PWM cycle rate. The other match registers control the two PWM edge positions. Additional double edge controlled PWM outputs require only two match registers each, since the repetition rate is the same for all PWM outputs. With double edge controlled PWM outputs, specific match registers control the rising and falling edge of the output. This allows both positive going PWM pulses (when the rising edge occurs prior to the falling edge), and negative going PWM pulses (when the falling edge occurs prior to the rising edge). Figure 59 shows the block diagram of the PWM. The portions that have been added to the standard timer block are on the right hand side and at the top of the diagram. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 256. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 16: PWM A sample of how PWM values relate to waveform outputs is shown in Figure 60. PWM output logic is shown in Figure 59 that allows selection of either single or double edge controlled PWM outputs via the muxes controlled by the PWMSELn bits. The match register selections for various PWM outputs is shown in Table 245. This implementation supports up to N-1 single edge PWM outputs or (N-1)/2 double edge PWM outputs, where N is the number of match registers that are implemented. PWM types can be mixed if desired. The waveforms below show a single PWM cycle and demonstrate PWM outputs under the following conditions: The timer is configured for PWM mode. The match register values are as follows: Match 0 is configured to reset the timer/counter MRO = 100 (PWM rate) when a match event occurs. MR1 = 41, MR2 = 78 (PWM2 output) Control bits PWMSEL2 and PWMSEL4 are set. MR3 = 53, MR4 = 27 (PWM4 output) MR5 = 65 (PWM5 output) PWM2 PWM4 PWM5 0 27 41 53 65 78 100 (counter is reset) Fig 60.

Essentially, PWM1 cannot be a double edged output. [2] It is generally not advantageous to use PWM channels 3 and 5 for double edge PWM outputs because it would reduce the number of double edge PWM outputs that are possible. Using PWM 2, PWM4, and PWM6 for double edge PWM outputs provides the most pairings. 16.2.1 Rules for single edge controlled PWM outputs 1. All single edge controlled PWM outputs go high at the beginning of a PWM cycle unless their match value is equal to 0. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 257. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 16: PWM 2. Each PWM output will go low when its match value is reached. If no match occurs (i.e. the match value is greater than the PWM rate), the PWM output remains continuously high. 16.2.2 Rules for double edge controlled PWM outputs Five rules are used to determine the next value of a PWM output when a new cycle is about to begin: 1. The match values for the next PWM cycle are used at the end of a PWM cycle (a time point which is coincident with the beginning of the next PWM cycle), except as noted in rule 3. 2. A match value equal to 0 or the current PWM rate (the same as the Match channel 0 value) have the same effect, except as noted in rule 3. For example, a request for a falling edge at the beginning of the PWM cycle has the same effect as a request for a falling edge at the end of a PWM cycle. 3. When match values are changing, if one of the "old" match values is equal to the PWM rate, it is used again once if the neither of the new match values are equal to 0 or the PWM rate, and there was no old match value equal to 0. 4. If both a set and a clear of a PWM output are requested at the same time, clear takes precedence. This can occur when the set and clear match values are the same as in, or when the set or clear value equals 0 and the other value equals the PWM rate. 5. If a match value is out of range (i.e. greater than the PWM rate value), no match event occurs and that match channel has no effect on the output. This means that the PWM output will remain always in one state, allowing always low, always high, or "no change" outputs. 16.3 Pin description Table 246 gives a brief summary of each of PWM related pins.

NA 16.4.9 PWM Latch Enable Register (PWMLER - 0xE001 4050) The PWM Latch Enable Register is used to control the update of the PWM Match registers when they are used for PWM generation. When software writes to the location of a PWM Match register while the Timer is in PWM mode, the value is held in a shadow register. When a PWM Match 0 event occurs (normally also resetting the timer in PWM mode), the contents of shadow registers will be transferred to the actual Match registers if the corresponding bit in the Latch Enable Register has been set. At that point, the new values will take effect and determine the course of the next PWM cycle. Once the transfer of new values has taken place, all bits of the LER are automatically cleared. Until the corresponding bit in the PWMLER is set and a PWM Match 0 event occurs, any value written to the PWM Match registers has no effect on PWM operation. For example, if PWM2 is configured for double edge operation and is currently running, a typical sequence of events for changing the timing would be: • • • • Write a new value to the PWM Match1 register. Write a new value to the PWM Match2 register. Write to the PWMLER, setting bits 1 and 2 at the same time. The altered values will become effective at the next reset of the timer (when a PWM Match 0 event occurs). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

Power-down mode. Measurement range 0 V to VREF (typically 3 V; not to exceed VDDA voltage level). 10 bit conversion time ≥ 2.44 µs. Burst conversion mode for single or multiple inputs. Optional conversion on transition on input pin or Timer Match signal. Global Start command for both converters (LPC2144/6/8 only). 17.2 Description Basic clocking for the A/D converters is provided by the VPB clock. A programmable divider is included in each converter, to scale this clock to the 4.5 MHz (max) clock needed by the successive approximation process. A fully accurate conversion requires 11 of these clocks. 17.3 Pin description Table 253 gives a brief summary of each of ADC related pins. Table 253: ADC pin description Pin Type Description AD0.7:6, AD0.4:1 & AD1.7:0 (LPC2144/6/8) Input Analog Inputs. The ADC cell can measure the voltage on any of these input signals. Note that these analog inputs are always connected to their pins, even if the Pin function Select register assigns them to port pins. A simple self-test of the ADC can be done by driving these pins as port outputs. Note: if the ADC is used, signal levels on analog input pins must not be above the level of V3A at any time. Otherwise, A/D converter readings will be invalid. If the A/D converter is not used in an application then the pins associated with A/D inputs can be used as 5 V tolerant digital IO pins. Warning: while the ADC pins are specified as 5 V tolerant (see Table 58 “Pin description” on page 69), the analog multiplexing in the ADC block is not. More than 3.3 V (VDDA) +10 % should not be applied to any pin that is selected as an ADC input, or the ADC reading will be incorrect. If for example AD0.0 and AD0.1 are used as the ADC0 inputs and voltage on AD0.0 = 4.5 V while AD0.1 = 2.5 V, an excessive voltage on the AD0.0 can cause an incorrect reading of the AD0.1, although the AD0.1 input voltage is within the right range. VREF Reference Voltage Reference. This pin is provides a voltage reference level for the A/D converter(s). VDDA, VSSA Power Analog Power and Ground. These should be nominally the same voltages as VDD and VSS, but should be isolated to minimize noise and error. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 17: A/D Converter 17.5 Operation 17.5.1 Hardware-triggered conversion If the BURST bit in the ADCR is 0 and the START field contains 010-111, the ADC will start a conversion when a transition occurs on a selected pin or Timer Match signal. The choices include conversion on a specified edge of any of 4 Match signals, or conversion on a specified edge of either of 2 Capture/Match pins. The pin state from the selected pad or the selected Match signal, XORed with ADCR bit 27, is used in the edge detection logic. 17.5.2 Interrupts An interrupt request is asserted to the Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC) when the DONE bit is 1. Software can use the Interrupt Enable bit for the A/D Converter in the VIC to control whether this assertion results in an interrupt. DONE is negated when the ADDR is read. 17.5.3 Accuracy vs. digital receiver The AIN function must be selected in corresponding Pin Select register (see "Pin Connect Block" on page 75) in order to get accurate voltage readings on the monitored pin. For pin hosting an ADC input, it is not possible to have a have a digital function selected and yet get valid ADC readings. An inside circuit disconnects ADC hardware from the associated pin whenever a digital function is selected on that pin. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 277. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 19: RTC 19.4.1 RTC interrupts Interrupt generation is controlled through the Interrupt Location Register (ILR), Counter Increment Interrupt Register (CIIR), the alarm registers, and the Alarm Mask Register (AMR). Interrupts are generated only by the transition into the interrupt state. The ILR separately enables CIIR and AMR interrupts. Each bit in CIIR corresponds to one of the time counters. If CIIR is enabled for a particular counter, then every time the counter is incremented an interrupt is generated. The alarm registers allow the user to specify a date and time for an interrupt to be generated. The AMR provides a mechanism to mask alarm compares. If all nonmasked alarm registers match the value in their corresponding time counter, then an interrupt is generated. The RTC interrupt can bring the microcontroller out of power-down mode if the RTC is operating from its own oscillator on the RTCX1-2 pins. When the RTC interrupt is enabled for wakeup and its selected event occurs, XTAL1/2 pins associated oscillator wakeup cycle is started. For details on the RTC based wakeup process see Section 3.5.3 “Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE - 0xE01F C144)” on page 22 and Section 3.12 “Wakeup timer” on page 41. 19.4.2 Miscellaneous register group Table 264 summarizes the registers located from 0 to 7 of A[6:2].

Writing a one to the appropriate bit clears the corresponding interrupt. Writing a zero has no effect. This allows the programmer to read this register and write back the same value to clear only the interrupt that is detected by the read. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

They are not calculated and must be correctly initialized in order to be meaningful. 19.4.13 Leap year calculation The RTC does a simple bit comparison to see if the two lowest order bits of the year counter are zero. If true, then the RTC considers that year a leap year. The RTC considers all years evenly divisible by 4 as leap years. This algorithm is accurate from the year 1901 through the year 2099, but fails for the year 2100, which is not a leap year. The only effect of leap year on the RTC is to alter the length of the month of February for the month, day of month, and year counters. 19.4.14 Alarm register group The alarm registers are shown in Table 275. The values in these registers are compared with the time counters. If all the unmasked (See Section 19.4.7 “Alarm Mask Register (AMR - 0xE002 4010)” on page 279) alarm registers match their corresponding time counters then an interrupt is generated.

Otherwise, VBAT should be tied to the ground (VSS). No provision is made in the LPC2141/2/4/6/8 to retain RTC status upon the VBAT power loss, or to maintain time incrementation if the clock source is lost, interrupted, or altered. Since the RTC operates using one of two available clocks (the VPB clock (PCLK) or the 32 kHz signal coming from the RTCX1-2pins), any interruption of the selected clock will cause the time to drift away from the time value it would have provided otherwise. The variance could be to actual clock time if the RTC was initialized to that, or simply an error in elapsed time since the RTC was activated. While the signal from RTCX1-2 pins can be used to supply the RTC clock at anytime, selecting the PCLK as the RTC clock and entering the Power-down mode will cause a lapse in the time update. Also, feeding the RTC with the PCLK and altering this timebase during system operation (by reconfiguring the PLL, the VPB divider, or the RTC prescaler) will result in some form of accumulated time error. Accumulated time errors may occur in case RTC clock source is switched between the PCLK to the RTCX pins, too. Once the 32 kHz signal from RTCX1-2 pins is selected as a clock source, the RTC can operate completely without the presence of the VPB clock (PCLK). Therefore, power sensitive applications (i.e. battery powered application) utilizing the RTC will reduce the power consumption by using the signal from RTCX1-2 pins, and writing a 0 into the PCRTC bit in the PCONP power control register (see Section 3.9 “Power control” on page 35). 19.6 Reference clock divider (prescaler) The reference clock divider (hereafter referred to as the prescaler) allows generation of a 32.768 kHz reference clock from any peripheral clock frequency greater than or equal to 65.536 kHz (2 × 32.768 kHz). This permits the RTC to always run at the proper rate regardless of the peripheral clock rate. Basically, the Prescaler divides the peripheral clock (PCLK) by a value which contains both an integer portion and a fractional portion. The result is not a continuous output at a constant frequency, some clock periods will be one PCLK longer than others.

The reasons for these counter sizes are as follows: 1. For frequencies that are expected to be supported by the LPC2141/2/4/6/8, a 13-bit integer counter is required. This can be calculated as 160 MHz divided by 32,768 minus 1 = 4881 with a remainder of 26,624. Thirteen bits are needed to hold the value 4881, but actually supports frequencies up to 268.4 MHz (32,768 × 8192). 2. The remainder value could be as large as 32,767, which requires 15 bits.

The value of PREINT must be greater than or equal to 1.

The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. 19.6.2 Prescaler Fraction register (PREFRAC - 0xE002 4084) This is the fractional portion of the prescale value, and may be calculated as: PREFRAC = PCLK − ((PREINT + 1) × 32768).

So: PREINT = int (PCLK / 32768) − 1 = 1 and PREFRAC = PCLK - ([PREINT + 1] × 32768) = 1 With this prescaler setting, exactly 32,768 clocks per second will be provided to the RTC by counting 2 PCLKs 32,767 times, and 3 PCLKs once.

  • 284. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 19: RTC PREINT = int (PCLK / 32768) − 1 = 304 and PREFRAC = PCLK − ([PREINT + 1] × 32768) = 5,760. In this case, 5,760 of the prescaler output clocks will be 306 (305 + 1) PCLKs long, the rest will be 305 PCLKs long. In a similar manner, any PCLK rate greater than 65.536 kHz (as long as it is an even number of cycles per second) may be turned into a 32 kHz reference clock for the RTC. The only caveat is that if PREFRAC does not contain a zero, then not all of the 32,768 per second clocks are of the same length. Some of the clocks are one PCLK longer than others. While the longer pulses are distributed as evenly as possible among the remaining pulses, this "jitter" could possibly be of concern in an application that wishes to observe the contents of the Clock Tick Counter (CTC) directly(Section 19.4.4 “Clock Tick Counter Register (CTCR - 0xE002 4004)” on page 278).

UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 19: RTC For example, if PREFRAC bit 14 is a one (representing the fraction 1/2), then half of the cycles counted by the 13-bit counter need to be longer. When there is a 1 in the LSB of the Fraction Counter, the logic causes every alternate count (whenever the LSB of the Fraction Counter=1) to be extended by one PCLK, evenly distributing the pulse widths. Similarly, a one in PREFRAC bit 13 (representing the fraction 1/4) will cause every fourth cycle (whenever the two LSBs of the Fraction Counter=10) counted by the 13-bit counter to be longer.

UM10139 Chapter 20: Watchdog Timer Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual 20.1 Features • Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded. • Debug mode. • Enabled by software but requires a hardware reset or a watchdog reset/interrupt to be disabled. • • • • Incorrect/Incomplete feed sequence causes reset/interrupt if enabled. Flag to indicate Watchdog reset. Programmable 32-bit timer with internal pre-scaler. Selectable time period from (TPCLK x 256 x 4) to (TPCLK x 232 x 4) in multiples of TPCLK x 4. 20.2 Applications The purpose of the watchdog is to reset the microcontroller within a reasonable amount of time if it enters an erroneous state. When enabled, the watchdog will generate a system reset if the user program fails to "feed" (or reload) the watchdog within a predetermined amount of time. For interaction of the on-chip watchdog and other peripherals, especially the reset and boot-up procedures, please read Section 3.10 “Reset” on page 38 of this document. 20.3 Description The watchdog consists of a divide by 4 fixed pre-scaler and a 32-bit counter. The clock is fed to the timer via a pre-scaler. The timer decrements when clocked. The minimum value from which the counter decrements is 0xFF. Setting a value lower than 0xFF causes 0xFF to be loaded in the counter. Hence the minimum watchdog interval is (TPCLK x 256 x 4) and the maximum watchdog interval is (TPCLK x 232 x 4) in multiples of (TPCLK x 4). The watchdog should be used in the following manner: • • • • Set the watchdog timer constant reload value in WDTC register. Setup mode in WDMOD register. Start the watchdog by writing 0xAA followed by 0x55 to the WDFEED register. Watchdog should be fed again before the watchdog counter underflows to prevent reset/interrupt. When the Watchdog counter underflows, the program counter will start from 0x0000 0000 as in the case of external reset. The Watchdog Time-Out Flag (WDTOF) can be examined to determine if the watchdog has caused the reset condition. The WDTOF flag must be cleared by software. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 287

WDTV [1] Watchdog Timer Value register. This register reads RO out the current value of the Watchdog timer. Reset value reflects the data stored in used bits only. It does not include reserved bits content. 20.4.1 Watchdog Mode register (WDMOD - 0xE000 0000) The WDMOD register controls the operation of the watchdog as per the combination of WDEN and RESET bits. Table 282: Watchdog operating modes selection WDEN WDRESET Mode of Operation 0 X (0 or 1) Debug/Operate without the watchdog running. 1 0 Watchdog Interrupt Mode: debug with the Watchdog interrupt but no WDRESET enabled. When this mode is selected, a watchdog counter underflow will set the WDINT flag and the watchdog interrupt request will be generated. 1 1 Watchdog Reset Mode: operate with the watchdog interrupt and WDRESET enabled. When this mode is selected, a watchdog counter underflow will reset the microcontroller. While the watchdog interrupt is also enabled in this case (WDEN = 1) it will not be recognized since the watchdog reset will clear the WDINT flag. Once the WDEN and/or WDRESET bits are set they can not be cleared by software. Both flags are cleared by an external reset or a watchdog timer underflow. WDTOF The Watchdog Time-Out Flag is set when the watchdog times out. This flag is cleared by software. WDINT The Watchdog Interrupt Flag is set when the watchdog times out. This flag is cleared when any reset occurs. Once the watchdog interrupt is serviced, it can be disabled in the VIC or the watchdog interrupt request will be generated indefinitely. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Every time a feed sequence occurs the WDTC content is reloaded in to the watchdog timer. It’s a 32-bit register with 8 LSB set to 1 on reset. Writing values below 0xFF will cause 0xFF to be loaded to the WDTC. Thus the minimum time-out interval is TPCLK × 256 × 4.

This operation will also start the watchdog if it is enabled via the WDMOD register. Setting the WDEN bit in the WDMOD register is not sufficient to enable the watchdog. A valid feed sequence must first be completed before the Watchdog is capable of generating an interrupt/reset. Until then, the watchdog will ignore feed errors. Once 0xAA is written to the WDFEED register the next operation in the Watchdog register space should be a WRITE (0x55) to the WDFFED register otherwise the watchdog is triggered. The interrupt/reset will be generated during the second PCLK following an incorrect access to a watchdog timer register during a feed sequence.

UM10139 Chapter 21: Flash Memory System and Programming Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual 21.1 Flash Boot Loader The Boot Loader controls initial operation after reset, and also provides the means to accomplish programming of the Flash memory. This could be initial programming of a blank device, erasure and re-programming of a previously programmed device, or programming of the Flash memory by the application program in a running system. 21.2 Features • In-System Programming: In-System programming (ISP) is programming or reprogramming the on-chip flash memory, using the boot loader software and a serial port. This can be done when the part resides in the end-user board. • In Application Programming: In-Application (IAP) programming is performing erase and write operation on the on-chip flash memory, as directed by the end-user application code. 21.3 Applications The flash boot loader provides both In-System and In-Application programming interfaces for programming the on-chip flash memory. 21.4 Description The flash boot loader code is executed every time the part is powered on or reset. The loader can execute the ISP command handler or the user application code. A a LOW level after reset at the P0.14 pin is considered as an external hardware request to start the ISP command handler. Assuming that proper signal is present on X1 pin when the rising edge on RESET pin is generated, it may take up to 3 ms before P0.14 is sampled and the decision on whether to continue with user code or ISP handler is made. If P0.14 is sampled low and the watchdog overflow flag is set, the external hardware request to start the ISP command handler is ignored. If there is no request for the ISP command handler execution (P0.14 is sampled HIGH after reset), a search is made for a valid user program. If a valid user program is found then the execution control is transferred to it. If a valid user program is not found, the auto-baud routine is invoked. Pin P0.14 that is used as hardware request for ISP requires special attention. Since P0.14 is in high impedance mode after reset, it is important that the user provides external hardware (a pull-up resistor or other device) to put the pin in a defined state. Otherwise unintended entry into ISP mode may occur. 21.4.1 Memory map after any reset The boot block is 12 kB in size and resides in the top portion (starting from 0x0007 D000) of the on-chip flash memory. After any reset the entire boot block is also mapped to the top of the on-chip memory space i.e. the boot block is also visible in the memory region starting from the address 0x7FFF D000.

Fig 65. Map of lower memory after reset 21.4.2 Criterion for valid user code Criterion for valid user code: The reserved ARM interrupt vector location (0x0000 0014) should contain the 2’s complement of the check-sum of the remaining interrupt vectors. This causes the checksum of all of the vectors together to be 0. The boot loader code disables the overlaying of the interrupt vectors from the boot block, then checksums the interrupt vectors in sector 0 of the flash. If the signatures match then the execution control is transferred to the user code by loading the program counter with 0x0000 0000. Hence the user flash reset vector should contain a jump instruction to the entry point of the user application code. If the signature is not valid, the auto-baud routine synchronizes with the host via serial port 0. The host should send a ’?’ (0x3F) as a synchronization character and wait for a response. The host side serial port settings should be 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. The auto-baud routine measures the bit time of the received synchronization character in terms of its own frequency and programs the baud rate generator of the serial port. It also sends an ASCII string ("Synchronized<CR><LF>") to the Host. In response to this host should send the same string ("Synchronized<CR><LF>").

If synchronization is verified then "OK<CR><LF>" string is sent to the host. Host should respond by sending the crystal frequency (in kHz) at which the part is running. For example, if the part is running at 10 MHz, the response from the host should be "10000<CR><LF>". "OK<CR><LF>" string is sent to the host after receiving the crystal frequency. If synchronization is not verified then the auto-baud routine waits again for a synchronization character. For auto-baud to work correctly, the crystal frequency should be greater than or equal to 10 MHz. The on-chip PLL is not used by the boot code. Once the crystal frequency is received the part is initialized and the ISP command handler is invoked. For safety reasons an "Unlock" command is required before executing the commands resulting in flash erase/write operations and the "Go" command. The rest of the commands can be executed without the unlock command. The Unlock command is required to be executed once per ISP session. The Unlock command is explained in Section 21.8 “ISP commands” on page 297. 21.4.3 Communication protocol All ISP commands should be sent as single ASCII strings. Strings should be terminated with Carriage Return (CR) and/or Line Feed (LF) control characters. Extra <CR> and <LF> characters are ignored. All ISP responses are sent as <CR><LF> terminated ASCII strings. Data is sent and received in UU-encoded format. 21.4.4 ISP command format "Command Parameter_0 Parameter_1 ...

Response_n<CR><LF>" "Data" (Data only for Read commands) 21.4.6 ISP data format The data stream is in UU-encode format. The UU-encode algorithm converts 3 bytes of binary data in to 4 bytes of printable ASCII character set. It is more efficient than Hex format which converts 1 byte of binary data in to 2 bytes of ASCII hex. The sender should send the check-sum after transmitting 20 UU-encoded lines. The length of any UU-encoded line should not exceed 61 characters(bytes) i.e. it can hold 45 data bytes. The receiver should compare it with the check-sum of the received bytes. If the check-sum matches then the receiver should respond with "OK<CR><LF>" to continue further transmission. If the check-sum does not match the receiver should respond with "RESEND<CR><LF>". In response the sender should retransmit the bytes. A description of UU-encode is available at http://www.wotsit.org. 21.4.7 ISP flow control A software XON/XOFF flow control scheme is used to prevent data loss due to buffer overrun. When the data arrives rapidly, the ASCII control character DC3 (stop) is sent to stop the flow of data. Data flow is resumed by sending the ASCII control character DC1 (start). The host should also support the same flow control scheme. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 293

When the user application code starts executing the interrupt vectors from the user flash area are active. The user should either disable interrupts, or ensure that user interrupt vectors are active in RAM and that the interrupt handlers reside in RAM, before making a flash erase/write IAP call.

The purpose of an error correction module is twofold. Firstly, it decodes data words read from the memory into output data words. Secondly, it encodes data words to be written to the memory. The error correction capability consists of single bit error correction with Hamming code. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 296
  • 297. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 21: Flash Memory The operation of ECC is transparent to the running application. The ECC content itself is stored in a flash memory not accessible by user’s code to either read from it or write into it on its own. A byte of ECC corresponds to every consecutive 128 bits of the user accessible Flash. Consequently, Flash bytes from 0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 0003 are protected by the first ECC byte, Flash bytes from 0x0000 0004 to 0x0000 0007 are protected by the second ECC byte, etc. Whenever the CPU requests a read from user’s Flash, both 128 bits of raw data containing the specified memory location and the matching ECC byte are evaluated. If the ECC mechanism detects a single error in the fetched data, a correction will be applied before data are provided to the CPU. When a write request into the user’s Flash is made, write of user specified content is accompanied by a matching ECC value calculated and stored in the ECC memory. When a sector of user’s Flash memory is erased, corresponding ECC bytes are also erased. Once an ECC byte is written, it can not be updated unless it is erased first. Therefore, for the implemented ECC mechanism to perform properly, data must be written into the Flash memory in groups of 4 bytes (or multiples of 4), aligned as described above. 21.7 Code Read Protection (CRP) Code read protection is enabled by programming the flash address location 0x1FC (User flash sector 0) with value 0x8765 4321 (2271560481 Decimal). Address 0x1FC is used to allow some room for the FIQ exception handler. When the code read protection is enabled the JTAG debug port, external memory boot and the following ISP commands are disabled: • • • • Read Memory Write to RAM Go Copy RAM to Flash The ISP commands mentioned above terminate with return code CODE_READ_PROTECTION_ENABLED. The ISP erase command only allows erasure of all user sectors when the code read protection is enabled. This limitation does not exist if the code read protection is not enabled. IAP commands are not affected by the code read protection. Important: CRP is active/inactive once the device has gone through a power cycle. 21.8 ISP commands The following commands are accepted by the ISP command handler. Detailed status codes are supported for each command. The command handler sends the return code INVALID_COMMAND when an undefined command is received. Commands and return codes are in ASCII format. CMD_SUCCESS is sent by ISP command handler only when received ISP command has been completely executed and the new ISP command can be given by the host. Exceptions from this rule are "Set Baud Rate", "Write to RAM", "Read Memory", and "Go" commands. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

Result of the IAP command is returned in the result table pointed to by register r1. The user can reuse the command table for result by passing the same pointer in registers r0 and r1. The parameter table should be big enough to hold all the results in case if number of results are more than number of parameters. Parameter passing is illustrated in the Figure 67. The number of parameters and results vary according to the IAP command. The maximum number of parameters is 5, passed to the "Copy RAM to FLASH" command. The maximum number of results is 2, returned by the "Blankcheck sector(s)" command. The command handler sends the status code INVALID_COMMAND when an undefined command is received. The IAP routine resides at 0x7FFF FFF0 location and it is thumb code. The IAP function could be called in the following way using C. Define the IAP location entry point. Since the 0th bit of the IAP location is set there will be a change to Thumb instruction set when the program counter branches to this address. #define IAP_LOCATION 0x7ffffff1 Define data structure or pointers to pass IAP command table and result table to the IAP function: unsigned long command[5]; unsigned long result[2]; or unsigned long * command; unsigned long * result; command=(unsigned long *) 0x…… result= (unsigned long *) 0x…… Define pointer to function type, which takes two parameters and returns void. Note the IAP returns the result with the base address of the table residing in R1. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved. User manual Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 305

Additional parameters are passed on the stack. Up to 4 parameters can be returned in the r0, r1, r2 and r3 registers respectively. Additional parameters are returned indirectly via memory. Some of the IAP calls require more than 4 parameters. If the ARM suggested scheme is used for the parameter passing/returning then it might create problems due to difference in the C compiler implementation from different vendors. The suggested parameter passing scheme reduces such risk. The flash memory is not accessible during a write or erase operation. IAP commands, which results in a flash write/erase operation, use 32 bytes of space in the top portion of the on-chip RAM for execution. The user program should not be use this space if IAP flash programming is permitted in the application.

The result may not be correct when the source or destination includes any of the first 64 bytes starting from address zero. The first 64 bytes can be re-mapped to RAM. 21.9.8 Reinvoke ISP Table 313: Reinvoke ISP Command Compare Input Command code: 5710 Return Code None Result None. Description This command is used to invoke the bootloader in ISP mode. This command maps boot vectors, configures P0.1 as an input and sets the VPB divider register to 0 before entering the ISP mode. This command may be used when a valid user program is present in the internal flash memory and the P0.14 pin is not accessible to force the ISP mode. This command does not disable the PLL hence it is possible to invoke the bootloader when the part is running off the PLL. In such case the ISP utility should pass the PLL frequency after autobaud handshake. Another option is to disable the PLL before making this IAP call. Important: TIMER1 registers must be programmed with reset values before "Reinvoke ISP" command is used. 21.9.9 IAP Status codes Table 314: IAP Status codes Summary Status Mnemonic Code Description 0 CMD_SUCCESS Command is executed successfully. 1 INVALID_COMMAND Invalid command. 2 SRC_ADDR_ERROR Source address is not on a word boundary. 3 DST_ADDR_ERROR Destination address is not on a correct boundary. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

UM10139 Chapter 22: EmbeddedICE logic Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual 22.1 Features • No target resources are required by the software debugger in order to start the debugging session. • Allows the software debugger to talk via a JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) port directly to the core. • Inserts instructions directly in to the ARM7TDMI-S core. • The ARM7TDMI-S core or the System state can be examined, saved or changed depending on the type of instruction inserted. • Allows instructions to execute at a slow debug speed or at a fast system speed. 22.2 Applications The EmbeddedICE logic provides on-chip debug support. The debugging of the target system requires a host computer running the debugger software and an EmbeddedICE protocol convertor. EmbeddedICE protocol convertor converts the Remote Debug Protocol commands to the JTAG data needed to access the ARM7TDMI-S core present on the target system. 22.3 Description The ARM7TDMI-S Debug Architecture uses the existing JTAG1 port as a method of accessing the core. The scan chains that are around the core for production test are reused in the debug state to capture information from the data bus and to insert new information into the core or the memory. There are two JTAG-style scan chains within the ARM7TDMI-S. A JTAG-style Test Access Port Controller controls the scan chains. In addition to the scan chains, the debug architecture uses EmbeddedICE logic which resides on chip with the ARM7TDMI-S core. The EmbeddedICE has its own scan chain that is used to insert watchpoints and breakpoints for the ARM7TDMI-S core. The EmbeddedICE logic consists of two real time watchpoint registers, together with a control and status register. One or both of the watchpoint registers can be programmed to halt the ARM7TDMI-S core. Execution is halted when a match occurs between the values programmed into the EmbeddedICE logic and the values currently appearing on the address bus, data bus and some control signals. Any bit can be masked so that its value does not affect the comparison. Either watchpoint register can be configured as a watchpoint (i.e. on a data access) or a break point (i.e. on an instruction fetch). The watchpoints and breakpoints can be combined such that: • The conditions on both watchpoints must be satisfied before the ARM7TDMI core is stopped. The CHAIN functionality requires two consecutive conditions to be satisfied before the core is halted. An example of this would be to set the first breakpoint to 1.For more details refer to IEEE Standard 1149.1 - 1990 Standard Test Access Port and Boundary Scan Architecture. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Therefore when the breakpoints trigger the information regarding which task has switched out will be ready for examination. • The watchpoints can be configured such that a range of addresses are enabled for the watchpoints to be active. The RANGE function allows the breakpoints to be combined such that a breakpoint is to occur if an access occurs in the bottom 256 bytes of memory but not in the bottom 32 bytes. The ARM7TDMI-S core has a Debug Communication Channel function in-built. The debug communication channel allows a program running on the target to communicate with the host debugger or another separate host without stopping the program flow or even entering the debug state. The debug communication channel is accessed as a co-processor 14 by the program running on the ARM7TDMI-S core. The debug communication channel allows the JTAG port to be used for sending and receiving data without affecting the normal program flow. The debug communication channel data and control registers are mapped in to addresses in the EmbeddedICE logic. 22.4 Pin description Table 315: EmbeddedICE pin description Pin Name Type Description TMS Input Test Mode Select. The TMS pin selects the next state in the TAP state machine. TCK Input Test Clock. This allows shifting of the data in, on the TMS and TDI pins. It is a positive edge triggered clock with the TMS and TCK signals that define the internal state of the device. TDI Input Test Data In. This is the serial data input for the shift register. TDO Output Test Data Output. This is the serial data output from the shift register. Data is shifted out of the device on the negative edge of the TCK signal. nTRST Input Test Reset. The nTRST pin can be used to reset the test logic within the EmbeddedICE logic. RTCK Output Returned Test Clock. Extra signal added to the JTAG port. Required for designs based on ARM7TDMI-S processor core. Multi-ICE (Development system from ARM) uses this signal to maintain synchronization with targets having slow or widely varying clock frequency.

To have them come up as a Debug port, connect a weak bias resistor (4.7-10 kΩ depending on the external JTAG circuitry) between VSS and the P1.26/RTCK pin. To have them come up as GPIO pins, do not connect a bias resistor, and ensure that any external driver connected to P1.26/RTCK is either driving high, or is in high-impedance state, during Reset. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

Does not consume power when trace is not being used. THUMB instruction set support 23.2 Applications As the microcontroller has significant amounts of on-chip memories, it is not possible to determine how the processor core is operating simply by observing the external pins. The ETM provides real-time trace capability for deeply embedded processor cores. It outputs information about processor execution to a trace port. A software debugger allows configuration of the ETM using a JTAG interface and displays the trace information that has been captured, in a format that a user can easily understand. 23.3 Description The ETM is connected directly to the ARM core and not to the main AMBA system bus. It compresses the trace information and exports it through a narrow trace port. An external Trace Port Analyzer captures the trace information under software debugger control. Trace port can broadcast the Instruction trace information. Instruction trace (or PC trace) shows the flow of execution of the processor and provides a list of all the instructions that were executed. Instruction trace is significantly compressed by only broadcasting branch addresses as well as a set of status signals that indicate the pipeline status on a cycle by cycle basis. Trace information generation can be controlled by selecting the trigger resource. Trigger resources include address comparators, counters and sequencers. Since trace information is compressed the software debugger requires a static image of the code being executed. Self-modifying code can not be traced because of this restriction. 23.3.1 ETM configuration The following standard configuration is selected for the ETM macrocell.

This clock is not generated by the ETM block. It is to be derived from the system clock. The clock should be balanced to provide sufficient hold time for the trace data signals. Half rate clocking mode is supported. Trace data signals should be shifted by a clock phase from TRACECLK. Refer to Figure 3.14 page 3.26 and figure 3.15 page 3.27 in "ETM7 Technical Reference Manual" (ARM DDI 0158B), for example circuits that implements both half-rate clocking and shifting of the trace data with respect to the clock. For TRACECLK timings refer to section 5.2 on page 5-13 in "Embedded Trace Macrocell Specification" (ARM IHI 0014E). PIPESTAT[2:0] Output Pipe Line status. The pipeline status signals provide a cycle-by-cycle indication of what is happening in the execution stage of the processor pipeline. TRACESYNC Output Trace synchronization. The trace sync signal is used to indicate the first packet of a group of trace packets and is asserted HIGH only for the first packet of any branch address. TRACEPKT[3:0] Output Trace Packet. The trace packet signals are used to output packaged address and data information related to the pipeline status. All packets are eight bits in length. A packet is output over two cycles. In the first cycle, Packet[3:0] is output and in the second cycle, Packet[7:4] is output.

  • 319. UM10139 Chapter 24: RealMonitor Rev. 01 — 15 August 2005 User manual RealMonitor is a configurable software module which enables real time debug. RealMonitor is developed by ARM Inc. Information presented in this chapter is taken from the ARM document RealMonitor Target Integration Guide (ARM DUI 0142A). It applies to a specific configuration of RealMonitor software programmed in the on-chip ROM boot memory of this device. Refer to the white paper "Real Time Debug for System-on-Chip" available at http://www.arm.com/support/White_Papers?OpenDocument for background information. 24.1 Features • Allows user to establish a debug session to a currently running system without halting or resetting the system. • Allows user time-critical interrupt code to continue executing while other user application code is being debugged. 24.2 Applications Real time debugging. 24.3 Description RealMonitor is a lightweight debug monitor that allows interrupts to be serviced while user debug their foreground application. It communicates with the host using the DCC (Debug Communications Channel), which is present in the EmbeddedICE logic. RealMonitor provides advantages over the traditional methods for debugging applications in ARM systems. The traditional methods include: • Angel (a target-based debug monitor) • Multi-ICE or other JTAG unit and EmbeddedICE logic (a hardware-based debug solution). Although both of these methods provide robust debugging environments, neither is suitable as a lightweight real-time monitor. Angel is designed to load and debug independent applications that can run in a variety of modes, and communicate with the debug host using a variety of connections (such as a serial port or ethernet). Angel is required to save and restore full processor context, and the occurrence of interrupts can be delayed as a result. Angel, as a fully functional target-based debugger, is therefore too heavyweight to perform as a real-time monitor. Multi-ICE is a hardware debug solution that operates using the EmbeddedICE unit that is built into most ARM processors. To perform debug tasks such as accessing memory or the processor registers, Multi-ICE must place the core into a debug state. While the processor is in this state, which can be millions of cycles, normal program execution is suspended, and interrupts cannot be serviced. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 320. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 24: RealMonitor RealMonitor combines features and mechanisms from both Angel and Multi-ICE to provide the services and functions that are required. In particular, it contains both the Multi-ICE communication mechanisms (the DCC using JTAG), and Angel-like support for processor context saving and restoring. RealMonitor is pre-programmed in the on-chip ROM memory (boot sector). When enabled It allows user to observe and debug while parts of application continue to run. Refer to Section 24.4 “How to enable Realmonitor” on page 322 for details. 24.3.1 RealMonitor components As shown in Figure 70, RealMonitor is split in to two functional components: DEBUGGER RDI 1.5.1 Host REALMONITOR.DLL RMHOST RDI 1.5.1 RT JTAG Unit RealMonitor protocol DCC transmissions over the JTAG link Target TARGET BOARD AND PROCESSOR RMTARGET APPLICATION Fig 70. RealMonitor components 24.3.2 RMHost This is located between a debugger and a JTAG unit. The RMHost controller, RealMonitor.dll, converts generic Remote Debug Interface (RDI) requests from the debugger into DCC-only RDI messages for the JTAG unit. For complete details on debugging a RealMonitor-integrated application from the host, see the ARM RMHost User Guide (ARM DUI 0137A). 24.3.3 RMTarget This is pre-programmed in the on-chip ROM memory (boot sector), and runs on the target hardware. It uses the EmbeddedICE logic, and communicates with the host using the DCC. For more details on RMTarget functionality, see the RealMonitor Target Integration Guide (ARM DUI 0142A). © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 321. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 24: RealMonitor 24.3.4 How RealMonitor works In general terms, the RealMonitor operates as a state machine, as shown in Figure 71. RealMonitor switches between running and stopped states, in response to packets received by the host, or due to asynchronous events on the target. RMTarget supports the triggering of only one breakpoint, watchpoint, stop, or semihosting SWI at a time. There is no provision to allow nested events to be saved and restored. So, for example, if user application has stopped at one breakpoint, and another breakpoint occurs in an IRQ handler, RealMonitor enters a panic state. No debugging can be performed after RealMonitor enters this state. SWI Abort undef Stop RUNNING STOPPED SWI Abort undef PANIC Go Fig 71. RealMonitor as a state machine A debugger such as the ARM eXtended Debugger (AXD) or other RealMonitor aware debugger, that runs on a host computer, can connect to the target to send commands and receive data. This communication between host and target is illustrated in Figure 70. The target component of RealMonitor, RMTarget, communicates with the host component, RMHost, using the Debug Communications Channel (DCC), which is a reliable link whose data is carried over the JTAG connection. While user application is running, RMTarget typically uses IRQs generated by the DCC. This means that if user application also wants to use IRQs, it must pass any DCC-generated interrupts to RealMonitor. To allow nonstop debugging, the EmbeddedICE-RT logic in the processor generates a Prefetch Abort exception when a breakpoint is reached, or a Data Abort exception when a watchpoint is hit. These exceptions are handled by the RealMonitor exception handlers that inform the user, by way of the debugger, of the event. This allows user application to continue running without stopping the processor. RealMonitor considers user application to consist of two parts: • a foreground application running continuously, typically in User, System, or SVC mode • a background application containing interrupt and exception handlers that are triggered by certain events in user system, including: – IRQs or FIQs – Data and Prefetch aborts caused by user foreground application. This indicates an error in the application being debugged. In both cases the host is notified and the user application is stopped. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005. All rights reserved.

  • 322. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 24: RealMonitor – Undef exception caused by the undefined instructions in user foreground application. This indicates an error in the application being debugged. RealMonitor stops the user application until a "Go" packet is received from the host. When one of these exceptions occur that is not handled by user application, the following happens: • RealMonitor enters a loop, polling the DCC. If the DCC read buffer is full, control is passed to rm_ReceiveData() (RealMonitor internal function). If the DCC write buffer is free, control is passed to rm_TransmitData() (RealMonitor internal function). If there is nothing else to do, the function returns to the caller. The ordering of the above comparisons gives reads from the DCC a higher priority than writes to the communications link. • RealMonitor stops the foreground application. Both IRQs and FIQs continue to be serviced if they were enabled by the application at the time the foreground application was stopped. 24.4 How to enable Realmonitor The following steps must be performed to enable RealMonitor. A code example which implements all the steps can be found at the end of this section. 24.4.1 Adding stacks User must ensure that stacks are set up within application for each of the processor modes used by RealMonitor. For each mode, RealMonitor requires a fixed number of words of stack space. User must therefore allow sufficient stack space for both RealMonitor and application. RealMonitor has the following stack requirements: Table 320: RealMonitor stack requirement Processor Mode RealMonitor Stack Usage (Bytes) Undef 48 Prefetch Abort 16 Data Abort 16 IRQ 8 24.4.2 IRQ mode A stack for this mode is always required. RealMonitor uses two words on entry to its interrupt handler. These are freed before nested interrupts are enabled. 24.4.3 Undef mode A stack for this mode is always required. RealMonitor uses 12 words while processing an undefined instruction exception. 24.4.4 SVC mode RealMonitor makes no use of this stack. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.

  • 323. UM10139 Philips Semiconductors Volume 1 Chapter 24: RealMonitor 24.4.5 Prefetch Abort mode RealMonitor uses four words on entry to its Prefetch abort interrupt handler. 24.4.6 Data Abort mode RealMonitor uses four words on entry to its data abort interrupt handler. 24.4.7 User/System mode RealMonitor makes no use of this stack. 24.4.8 FIQ mode RealMonitor makes no use of this stack. 24.4.9 Handling exceptions This section describes the importance of sharing exception handlers between RealMonitor and user application. 24.4.10 RealMonitor exception handling To function properly, RealMonitor must be able to intercept certain interrupts and exceptions. Figure 72 illustrates how exceptions can be claimed by RealMonitor itself, or shared between RealMonitor and application. If user application requires the exception sharing, they must provide function (such as app_IRQDispatch ()). Depending on the nature of the exception, this handler can either: • Pass control to the RealMonitor processing routine, such as rm_irqhandler2(). • Claim the exception for the application itself, such as app_IRQHandler (). In a simple case where an application has no exception handlers of its own, the application can install the RealMonitor low-level exception handlers directly into the vector table of the processor. Although the IRQ handler must get the address of the Vectored Interrupt Controller. The easiest way to do this is to write a branch instruction (<address>) into the vector table, where the target of the branch is the start address of the relevant RealMonitor exception handler. © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2005.
