Summary
1.Description
The AT91R40008 microcontroller is a member of the Atmel AT91 16/32-bit microcontroller family, which is based on the ARM7TDMI processor core. This processor has a
high-performance, 32-bit RISC architecture with a high-density, 16-bit instruction set
and very low power consumption. Furthermore, it features 256K bytes of on-chip
SRAM and a large number of internally banked registers, resulting in very fast exception handling, and making the device ideal for real-time control applications.
The AT91R40008 microcontroller features a direct connection to off-chip memory,
including Flash, through the fully programmable External Bus Interface (EBI). An 8level priority vectored interrupt controller, in conjunction with the Peripheral Data Controller, significantly improves the real-time performance of the device.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density CMOS technology. By combining the ARM7TDMI processor core with a large, on-chip, high-speed SRAM and a
wide range of peripheral functions on a monolithic chip, the AT91R40008 is a powerful
microcontroller that offers a flexible and high-performance solution to many computeintensive embedded control applications.

The AT91R40008 microcontroller integrates an ARM7TDMI with EmbeddedICE interface,
memories and peripherals. The architecture consists of two main buses: the Advanced System Bus (ASB) and the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). Designed for maximum performance
and controlled by the memory controller, the ASB interfaces the ARM7TDMI processor with
the on-chip 32-bit memories, the External Bus Interface (EBI) and the AMBA
AMBA Bridge drives the APB, which is designed for accesses to on-chip peripherals and optimized for low power consumption.
The AT91R40008 microcontroller implements the ICE port of the ARM7TDMI processor on
dedicated pins, offering a complete, low-cost and easy-to-use debug solution for target
debugging.
5.1Memories
The AT91R40008 microcontroller embeds 256K bytes of internal SRAM. The internal memory
is directly connected to the 32-bit data bus and is single-cycle accessible.
The AT91R40008 microcontroller features an External Bus Interface (EBI), which enables
connection of external memories and application-specific peripherals. The EBI supports 8- or
16-bit devices and can use two 8-bit devices to emulate a single 16-bit device. The EBI implements the early read protocol, enabling faster memory accesses than standard memory
interfaces.

5.2Peripherals
The AT91R40008 microcontrollers integrate several peripherals, that are classified as system
or user peripherals. All on-chip peripherals are 32-bit accessible by the AMBA Bridge, and can
be programmed with a minimum number of instructions. The peripheral register set consists of
control, mode, data, status and enable/disable/status registers.
An on-chip Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) transfers data between the on-chip USARTs and
on- and off-chip memories address space without processor intervention. Most importantly,
the PDC removes the processor interrupt handling overhead, making it possible to transfer up
to 64K contiguous bytes without reprogramming the start address, thus increasing the performance of the microcontroller and reducing the power consumption.
5.2.1System Peripherals
The External Bus Interface (EBI) controls the external memory or peripheral devices via an 8or 16-bit data bus and is programmed through the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). Each chip
select line has its own programming register.
The Power-saving (PS) module implements the Idle mode (ARM7TDMI core clock stopped
until the next interrupt) and enables the user to adapt the power consumption of the microcontroller to application requirements (independent peripheral clock control).
The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) controls the internal interrupt sources from the internal peripherals and the four external interrupt lines (including the FIQ) to provide an interrupt
and/or fast interrupt request to the ARM7TDMI. It integrates an 8-level priority controller and,
using the Auto-vectoring feature, reduces the interrupt latency time.

The Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) controls up to 32 I/O lines. It enables the user to
select specific pins for on-chip peripheral input/output functions and general-purpose

input/output signal pins. The PIO controller can be programmed to detect an interrupt on a signal change from each line.
The Watchdog (WD) can be used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes trapped
in a deadlock.
The Special Function (SF) module integrates the Chip ID, the Reset Status and the Protect
registers.
Two independently configurable USARTs enable communication at a high baud rate in synchronous or asynchronous mode. The format includes start, stop and parity bits and up to 8
data bits. Each USART also features a Time-out and a Time-guard register, facilitating the
use of the two dedicated Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) channels.
The 3-channel, 16-bit Timer/Counter (TC) is highly programmable and supports capture or
waveform modes. Each TC channel can be programmed to measure or generate different
kinds of waves, and can detect and control two input/output signals. The TC also has three
external clock signals.
