1. Introduction

UM10120

Chapter 1: Introductory information

Rev. 02 — 25 July 2006 User manual LPC213x
The LPC213x and LPC213x/01 microcontrollers are based on a 16/32 bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-time emulation and embedded trace support that combines the microcontroller with embedded high speed Flash memory r anging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A 128-bit wide memory interface and a unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code execution at 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, these microcontrollers are ideal for applications where miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and point-of-sale. With a wide range of serial communications interfaces and on-chip SRAM options of 8/16/32 kB, they are 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 8 channel ADC(s), 10-bit DAC, PWM channels and 47 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.
Important: The term “LPC213x“ in the following text will be used both for devices with and without /01 suffix. Only when needed “LPC213x/01” will be used to identify the latest ones: LPC2131/01, LPC2132/01, LPC2134/01, LPC2136/01, and/or LPC2138/01.

2. Enhancements introduced with LPC213x/01 devices

Fast GPIO ports enable pin toggling up to 3.5x faster than the original LPC213x. Also,
Enhanced parallel ports allow for a port pin to be read at any time regardless of the function selected on it. For details see GPIO chapter on page 78.
Dedicated result registers for AD converter(s) reduce interrupt overhead. For details
see ADC chapter on page 211.
UART0/1 include Fractional Baudrate Generator, auto-bauding capabilities and
handshake control fully implemented in hardware. For more details see UART0 chapter on page 92 and UART1 chapter on page 108.
Enhanced BOD control enables further reduction of power consumption. For det ails
see Table 4–30 “Power Control register (PCON - address 0xE01F C0C0) bit

6. Architectural overview

The LPC213x consists of an ARM7TDMI-S CPU with emulation support, the ARM7 Lo ca l Bus for interface to on-chip memory controllers, the AMBA Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) for interface to the interrupt controller, and the VLSI Peripheral Bus (APB, a compatible superset of ARM’s AMBA Advanced Peripher al Bus) for connection to on-chip peripheral functions. The LPC213x 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 allocate d a 16 kB address space within the AHB address space. LPC213x peripheral functions (other than the interrupt controller) are connected to the APB bus. The AHB to APB bridge interfaces the APB bus to the AHB bus. APB peripherals are also allocated a 2 megabyte range of addresses, beginning at the 3.5 gigabyte address point. Each APB peripheral is allocated a 16 kB address space within the APB 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 72). This must be configured by softwa re to fit specific application requirements for the use of periph er al functions and pins.

7. 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.

Philips Semiconductors
Pipeline techniques are employed so that all part s of the pro cessing and memory systems can operate continuously. T ypically, 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.
UM10120
Chapter 1: Introductory information
The ARM7TDMI-S processor is described in detail in the ARM7TDMI-S Datasheet that can be found on official ARM website.

8. On-chip Flash memory system

The LPC213x incorporates a 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 kB Flash memory system. This memory may be used for both code and dat a stor age. Progra mming of the Fl ash memory may be accomplished in several ways: over the serial builtin 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 LPC213x on-chip bootloader is used, 32/64/128/256/500 kB of Flash memory is available for user code and/or data storage.
The LPC213x Flash memory provides minimum of 100,000 erase/write cycles and 20 years of data-retention.

9. 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 LPC213x provide 8/16/32 kB of static RAM.
The LPC213x 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 nottaion) and
UM10120_2 © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2006. All rights reserved.
User manual LPC213x Rev. 02 — 25 July 2006 6 of 292
Philips Semiconductors
data accessed as words to originate from adresses 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 wr ite 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.

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 p ossible to read or write the upper byte of a word register separately.

2. LPC213x memory re-mapping and boot block

2.1 Memory map concepts and operating modes

The basic concept on the LPC213x 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 2–3 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 2–4 interrupts is accomplished via the Memory Mapping Contro l feature (Section 4–7 “
mapping control” on page 32).

Note: Identified as reserved in ARM documentation, this location is used
by the Boot Loader as the Valid User Program key. This is descibed in detail in "Flash Memory System and Programming" chapter on page 237.
The Boot Loader always executes after any reset. The Boot Block interrupt vectors are mapped to the bottom of memory to allow handling exceptions and using interrupts during the Boot Loading process.
Activated by Boot Loader when a valid User Program Signature is recognized in memory and Boot Loader operation is not forced. Interrupt vectors are not re-mapped and are found in the bottom of the Flash memory.
Activated by a User Program as desired. Interrupt vectors are re-mapped to the bottom of the Static RAM.

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 interru pt vectors. Memory spaces other than the interrupt vectors remain in fixed locations.
Figure 2–5
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.
Philips Semiconductors
2. Minimize the ne ed 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 constant s 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.

3. Prefetch abort and data abort exceptions

The LPC213x 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. Fo r
the LPC213x, this is: – Address space between On-Chip Non-Volatile Memory and On-Chip SRAM,
labelled "Reserved Address Space" in Figure 2–2 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 2–2 address range from 0x4000 2000 to 0x7FFF CFFF, for 16 kB SRAM device this is memory address range from 0x4000 4000 to 0x7FFF CFFF, while for 32 kB SRAM device this range is from 0x4000 8000 to 0x7FFF CFFF.
– Address space between 0x8000 0000 and 0xDFFF FFFF, labelled "Reserved
Adress Space".

and Figure 2–5. For 32 kB Flash
. For 8 kB SRAM device this is memory
.
For these areas, both attempted data acce ss and in struction fetch genera te an exception. In addition, a Prefetch Abort exception is generated for any instruction fetch that maps to an AHB or APB peripheral address.
Within the address space of an existing APB 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 LPC213x 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.

Chapter 3: Memory Acceleration Module (MAM)

Rev. 02 — 12 July 2006 User manual LPC213x
The MAM block in the LPC213x maximizes the performance of the ARM processor when it is running code in Flash memory but does so using a single Flash bank.
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 LPC213x 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 Buf fer and the data b uffer. 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 da ta 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 present s 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 Buf fe r contains the current instruction and the entire Flash line that contains it.
The MAM differentiates betwee n in str uction and data accesses. Code and data acce sse s 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 sequ ential 16-bit accesses, 15 of eve ry 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 operat ions 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 T rail Buffer is taken, a st all 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.

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

3.1 Flash memory bank

There is one bank of Flash memory with the LPC213x 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.

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.

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 LPC213x MAM holding latches are automatically invalidated at the beginnin g 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.
UM10120
Chapter 3: MAM Module

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.

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.

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.

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 LPC213x 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.

5. External interrupt inputs

The LPC213x 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.

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.
Table 13. External interrupt registers
Name Description Access Reset
EXTINT The External Interrupt Flag Register contains
interrupt flags for EINT0, EINT1, EINT2 and EINT3. See Table 4–14
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 4–15
EXTMODE The External Interrupt Mode Register controls
whether each pin is edge- or levelsensitive.
EXTPOLAR The External Interrupt Polarity Register controls
which level or edge on each pin will cause an interrupt.

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 a nd EXTMODE registers) will set its interrupt fla g 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 corre sp onding 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 star ts to execute (hand ling 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 externa l 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
4–5.4 “External Interrupt Mode register (EXTMODE - 0xE01F C148)” and Section 4–5.5 “External Interrupt Polarity register (EXTPOLAR - 0xE01F C14C)”.

Chapter 4: System control block
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 a llow 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.

5.3 Interrupt Wakeup register (INTWAKE - 0xE01F C144)

Enable bits in the INTWAKE register allow the external interrupts 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 V ectored Interr upt Controller for a wake up to t ake place. T his arra ngement 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).
For an external interrupt pin to be a source that would wake up the microco ntroller from Power-down mode, it is also necessary to clear the corresponding bit in the External Interrupt Flag register (Section 4–5.2 on page 26

5.4 External Interrupt Mode register (EXTMODE - 0xE01F C148)

The bits in this register select whether each EI NT pin is le vel- or edge- sensitive. Only pins that are selected for the EINT function (see chapter Pin Connect Block on page 72) and enabled via the VICIntEnable register (Section 5–4.4 “Interrupt Enable register
(VICIntEnable - 0xFFFF F010)” on page 53) can cause interrupts from the External
Interrupt function (though of course pins selected for other functions may cause i nterrupt s from those functions).
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.

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 72. 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 m ore than one pin is so selected, dif ferently according to the state of its Mode and Polarity bits:

bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined.
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 is the EINTi signal in the following logic schematic
Figure 4–9
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.

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.

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 2–3 “
exception vector locations” on page 13. The MEMMAP register determines the source of
data that will fill this table.

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).

8. Phase Locked Loop (PLL)

The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz only. The input frequency is multiplied up into the CCLK with the range of 10 MHz to 60 MHz using a Current Controlled Oscillator (CCO). The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32 (in practice, the multiplier value cannot be higher than 6 on th e LPC213x 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 4–10
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 PLL when it is providing the chip clock, accidental changes to the PLL setup could result in unexpected behavior of the microcontroller. 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.

The PLL is turned off and bypassed following a chip Reset and when by en tering 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.

8.2 PLL Control register (PLLCON - 0xE01F C080)

The PLLCON register contains the bits that enable and connect the PLL. Enabling the PLL allows it to attempt to lock to the current settings of the multiplier and divider values. Connecting the PLL causes the processor and all chip functions to run from the PLL output clock. Changes to the PLLCON register do not take effect until a correct PLL feed sequence has been given (see Section 4–8.7 “
0xE01F C08C)” and Section 4–8.3 “PLL Configuration register (PL LCFG - 0xE01F C084)” on page 36).

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 witho ut having to wait for the PLL to achieve lock. When the interrupt occurs (PLOCK = 1), the PLL may be connected, and the interrupt disabled.

8.6 PLL Modes

The combinations of PLLE and PLLC are shown in Table 4–24.
Table 24. PLL Control bit combinations

0 1 The PLL is active, but not yet connected. The PLL can be connected after
PLOCK is asserted.

connected without also being enabled.
1 1 The PLL is active and has been connected as the system clock source.

8.7 PLL Feed register (PLLFEED - 0xE01F C08C)

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 APB 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.

8.8 PLL and Power-down mode

Power-down mode automatically turns off and disconnects the PLL. 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.

8.10 Procedure for determining PLL settings

If a particular application uses the PLL, 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 4–11 “
2. Choose an oscillator frequency (F multiple of F
3. Calculate the value of M to configure the MSEL bits. M = CCLK / F the range of 1 to 32. The value written to the MSEL bits in PLLCFG is M 1 (see
Table 4–28
4. Find a value for P to configure the PSEL bits, such that F frequency limits. F 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 4–27

9. Power control

The LPC213x 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 4–12 “

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.

9.3 Power Control for Peripherals register (PCONP - 0xE01F C0C4)

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 additional circuitry to reduce power. Each bit in PCONP controls one of the peripherals.

9.4 Power control usage notes

After every reset, the PCONP register contains the value that en ables 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.

10. Reset

Reset has three sources on the LPC213x: the RESET pin, Watchdog Reset and Brown-Out-Detector (BOD) Reset. The RESET additional glitch filter . Assertion of chip Reset by a ny source st arts the W akeup Timer (see description in Section 4–12 “ 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 4–11
The Reset glitch filter allows the processor to ignore exte rn al re se t puls es that are very short, and also determines the minimum duration of RESET order to guarantee a chip reset. Once asserted, RESET 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 subsequent resets when crystal oscillator is already running and stable signal is on the X1 pin, the RESET

pin can be deasserted only when
pin should be asserted for 10 ms. For all
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 64 and "Pin Connect Block" on p a ge 72). Pin P0.14 (see "Flash Memory System and Programming" chapter on page 237) 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.

11. APB divider

The APB Divider determines the relationship between the processor clock (CCLK) and the clock used by peripheral devices (PCLK). The APB Divider ser ves two purpo ses. The fir st is to provides peripherals with desired PCLK via APB bus so that they can operate at the speed chosen for the ARM processor. In order to achieve this, the APB bus may be slowed down to one half or one fourth of the processor clock rate. Because the APB bus must work properly at power up (and its timing cannot be altered if it does not work since the APB divider control registers reside on the APB bus), the default condition at reset is for the APB bus to run at one quarter speed. The second purpose of the APB Divider is to allow power savings when an application does not require any per ipherals to run at the full processor rate.

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 Rese t, an d when e ve r 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 T i mer 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 V 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 Wake up T imer 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.

Philips Semiconductors
Any of the various Resets can bring the microcontroller out of power-down mode, as can the external interrupts EINT3:0, plus the RT C interrupt if the RTC is operating fr om 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 LPC213x (see chapters "Pin Configuration" on page 64 and "Pin Connect Block" on page 72) was designed to allow othe r periphera ls 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 I 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.
UM10120
Chapter 4: System control block

C: RxD0 / EINT0,
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 progr am 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 LPC213x 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 LPC213x, the Wakeup Timer en forces 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.

13. Brown-out detection

The LPC213x 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 “Interru pt Enab le re gis te r (VICIntEnable -
0xFFFF F010)” on page 53); 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 53).
The second stage of low-voltage detection assert s Reset to inactivate th e LPC213x when the voltage on the V 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.

pins falls below 2.6 V. This Reset prevents alteration of the Flash
DD
Philips Semiconductors
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 LPC213x out of Power-Down mode (which is itself not a guaranteed operation -- see Section 4–9.2 “
(PCON - 0xE01F C0C0)”), 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 4–5.2 “
register (EXTINT - 0xE01F C140)” and Section 18–4.3 “Interrupt Location Register (ILR ­0xE002 4000)” on page 223), a wakeup of this type, without any apparent cause, can be
assumed to be a Brown-Out that has gone away.

14. Code security vs debugging

Applications in development typically need the debugging and tracing facilities in the LPC213x. 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 LPC213x allows an application to control whether it can be debugged or protected from observation.

Rev. 02 — 12 July 2006 User manual LPC213x
ARM PrimeCell Vectored Interrupt Controller
32 interrupt request inputs
16 vectored IRQ interrupts
16 priority levels dynamically assigned to interrupt requests
Software interrupt generation
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 high est 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 po ssible 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 th e midd le pr iority, but only 16 of the 32 requests can be assigned to this category . Any of the 32 reque sts can be as signed to any of the 16 vectored IRQ slot s, 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 , ot he rw ise 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.

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.

4.1 Software Interrupt register (VICSoftInt - 0xFFFF F018)

The contents of this register are ORed with the 32 interrup t requests from the various peripherals, before any other logic is applied.

6. Spurious interrupts

Spurious interrupts are possible in the ARM7TDMI based microcontrollers such as the LPC213x 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).
UM10120
Chapter 5: VIC
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.

6.1 Details and case studies on spurious interrupts

This chapter contains details that can be obtained from the official ARM website, FAQ section.
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 ;disable IRQ and FIQ interrupts MSR cpsr_c, r0
If an IRQ interrupt is received during execut ion of the MSR instruction, then the behavior will be as follows:
The IRQ interrupt is latched.
The MSR cpsr, r0 executes to completion setting both the I bit and the F bit in the
CPSR.

Philips Semiconductors
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 be ing 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:
UM10120
Chapter 5: VIC
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.

6.2 Workaround

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

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 lr, lr, #4 ; Adjust LR to point to return STMFD sp!, {..., lr} ; Get some free regs MRS lr, SPSR ; See if we got an interrupt while TST lr, #I_Bit ; interrupts were disabled. LDMNEFD sp!, {..., pc}^ ; 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 p roblem two, it do es add several cycles to the maximu m length of time FIQs will be disabled.

6.4 Solution 2: disable IRQs and FIQs using separate writes to the CPSR

MRS r0, cpsr ORR r0, r0, #I_Bit ;disable IRQs MSR cpsr_c, r0 ORR r0, r0, #F_Bit ;disable FIQs MSR cpsr_c, r0
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.
UM10120
Chapter 5: VIC

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.

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 th e exception vectors are located at addresse s 0x 0 an d ab o ve. Th is is easily achieved by configuring the MEMMAP register (see Section 4–7.1 “Memory Mapping control register
(MEMMAP - 0xE01F C040)” on page 32) 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).
UM10120
Chapter 5: VIC
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 I generating non-vectored IRQs, the following could be one possibility for VIC setup:
VICIntSelect = 0x0000 0000 ; SPI0, I2C, UART1 and UART0 are IRQ => ; bit10, bit9, bit7 and bit6=0 VICIntEnable = 0x0000 06C0 ; SPI0, I2C, UART1 and UART0 are enabled interrupts => ; bit10, bit9, bit 7 and bit6=1 VICDefVectAddr = 0x... ; holds address at what routine for servicing ; non-vectored IRQs (i.e. UART1 and I2C) starts VICVectAddr0 = 0x... ; holds address where UART0 IRQ service routine starts VICVectAddr1 = 0x... ; holds address where SPI0 IRQ service routine starts VICVectCntl0 = 0x0000 0026 ; interrupt source with index 6 (UART0) is enabled as ; the one with priority 0 (the highest) VICVectCntl1 = 0x0000 002A ; 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]
2
C are
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 I reason, content of VICVectAddr will be identical to VICDefVectAddr.

1. Features

2. Applications

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

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.

Rev. 02 — 25 July 2006 User manual LPC213x
Allows individual pin configuration.
Peripherals should be connected to the appropri ate 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 var iations of the vol t age 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 par t of digital logic necessary for the digital function to be performed will be active, and will disrupt proper behavior of the A/D.

The registers in Table 8–66 represent the enhanced GPIO features available on the LPC213x/01 only. 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 p ort.
The user must select whether a GPIO will be accessed via registers that provide enhanced features or a legacy set of registers (see Section 4–6.1 “System Control and
Status flags register (SCS - 0xE01F C1A0)” on page 31). 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.

Chapter 8: GPIO
If a pin has an analog function as one of its options, the pin state cannot be r ead if the analog configuration is selected. Selecting the pin as an A/D input disconnect s 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)”).

This register is used to produce a HIGH level output at the port pins configured as GPIO in an OUTPUT mode. Writing 1 produces a HIGH level at the corresponding port pins. Writing 0 has no effect. If any pin is configured as an input or a se condary functio n, writing 1 to the corresponding bit in the IOSET has no effect.
Reading the IOSET register returns the value of this register, as determined by previous writes to IOSET and IOCLR (or IOPIN as noted above). This value does not reflect the effect of any outside world influence on the I/O pins.

5. GPIO usage notes

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 = 0x0000 0080 ;pin P0.7 configured as output IO0CLR = 0x0000 0080 ;P0.7 goes LOW IO0SET = 0x0000 0080 ;P0.7 goes HIGH IO0CLR = 0x0000 0080 ;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.
UM10120
Chapter 8: GPIO

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;

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.

5.4 Output signal frequency considerations when using the legacy and enhanced GPIO registers

UM10120
Chapter 8: GPIO
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 3–9 “MAM
usage notes” on page 21. Execution from the on-chip SRAM is independent fro m the
MAM setup.

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 dat a 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.

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.

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.

3.7 UART0 Interrupt Identification Register (U0IIR - 0xE000 C008, Read Only)

The U0IIR provides a status code that denotes the priority and source of a pending interrupt. The interrupts are frozen during an U0IIR access. If an interrupt occurs during an U0IIR access, the interrupt is recorded for the next U0IIR access.

Interrupts are handled as described in Table 9–105. Given the status of U0IIR[3:0], an interrupt handler routine can determine the cause of the interrupt and how to clear the active interrupt. The U0IIR must be read in order to clear the interrupt prior to exiting the Interrupt Service Routine.
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 interru pt (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 le vel 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] = 1 10) 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 occurre d 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 peripher al wished to send a 105 character message and the trigger level was 10 ch aracters, 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 rem aining 5 characters.

Transmit Holding Register (U0THR - 0xE000 C000, when DLAB = 0, Write Only)”
The UART0 THRE interrupt (U0IIR[3:1] = 001) is a third level interrupt and is activated when the UART0 THR FIFO is empty provided certain initialization conditions have been met. 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. 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 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).
