SAM9G46
Atmel | SMART ARM-based Embedded MPU
DATASHEET
Description
The Atmel® | SMART ARM926EJ-S™-based SAM9G46 embedded
microprocessor unit (eMPU) features the frequently requested combination of
user interface functionality and high data rate connectivity, including LCD
controller, resistive touchscreen, camera interface, audio, Ethernet 10/100 and
high speed USB and SDIO. With the processor running at 400 MHz and multiple
100+ Mbps data rate peripherals, the SAM9G46 provides adequate performance
and bandwidth to the network or local storage media.
The SAM9G46 eMPU supports DDR2 and NAND Flash memory interfaces for
program and data storage. An internal 133 MHz multi-layer bus architecture
associated with 39 DMA channels, a dual external bus interface and distributed
memory including a 64-Kbyte SRAM that can be configured as a tightly coupled
memory (TCM) sustains the high bandwidth required by the processor and the
high speed peripherals.
On-chip hardware accelerators with DMA support enable high-speed data
encryption and authentication of the transferred data or application. Supported
standards are up to 256-bit AES, FIPS PUB 46-3 compliant TDES and FIPS
Publication 180-2 compliant SHA1 and SHA256. A True Random Number
Generator is embedded for key generation and exchange protocols.
The I/Os support 1.8V or 3.3V operation, which are independently configurable for
the memory interface and peripheral I/Os. This feature completely eliminates the
need for any external level shifters. In addition it supports 0.8 mm ball pitch
package for low cost PCB manufacturing.
The SAM9G46 power management controller features efficient clock gating and a
battery backup section minimizing power consumption in active and standby
modes.

1. Refer to peripheral multiplexing tables in Section 7.4 “Peripheral Signals Multiplexing on I/O Lines” for these signals.
2. When configured as an input, the NRST pin enables asynchronous reset of the device when asserted low. This allows
connection of a simple push button on the NRST pin as a system-user reset.
3. Programming of this pull-up resistor is performed independently for each I/O line through the PIO Controllers. After reset, all
the I/O lines default as inputs with pull-up resistors enabled, except those which are multiplexed with the External Bus
Interface signals that require to be enabled as Peripheral at reset. This is explicitly indicated in the column “Reset State” of
the peripheral multiplexing tables.

Power Sequence Requirements
The SAM9G46 board design must comply with the guidelines described in Section 4.2.1 “Power-up Sequence”
and Section 4.2.2 “Power-down Sequence” to guarantee reliable operation of the device. Any deviation from these
sequences may lead to unpredictable results.

VDDCORE and VDDBU are controlled by the internal PORs (Power-on Reset) to guarantee that these power sources
reach their target values prior to the release of POR.
VDDIOP must be ≥ VIH (refer to Table 48-2 “DC Characteristics” for more details) within (tRST + t1) after
VDDCORE has reached VT+
VDDIOM must reach VOH (refer to Table 48-2 “DC Characteristics” for more details) within (tRST + t1 + t2) after
VDDCORE has reached VT+
̶
tRST is a POR characteristic
̶
t1 = 3 × tSLCK
̶
t2 = 16 × tSLCK
The tSLCK min (22 µs) is obtained for the maximum frequency of the internal RC oscillator (44 kHz).
̶
̶
̶
tRST = 30 µs
t1 = 66 µs
t2 = 352 µs
In conclusion, VDDIOP and VDDIOM must be established first, then VDDCORE to ensure a reliable operation of the
device. VDDOSC, VDDPLL, VDDUTMII and VDDUTMIC must be started at any time prior to VDDCORE to ensure correct
behavior of the ROM code.

4.2.2
Power-down Sequence
To ensure that the device does not operate outside the operating conditions defined in Section 4.1 “Power
Supplies”, it is good practice to first place the device in reset state before removing its power supplies. No specific
sequencing is required with respect to its supply channels as long as the NRST line is held active during the
power-down phase.

5.1
Memory Mapping
Other areas are unused and performing an access within them provides an abort to the master requesting such an
access.
A first level of address decoding is performed by the AHB Bus Matrix, i.e., the implementation of the Advanced
High performance Bus (AHB) for its Master and Slave interfaces with additional features.
Decoding breaks up the 4 Gbytes of address space into 16 banks of 256 Mbytes. Banks 1 to 6 are directed to the
EBI that associates these banks to the external chip selects NCS0 to NCS5.
Bank 7 is directed to the DDRSDRC0 that associates this bank to the DDR_NCS chip select and so dedicated to
the 4-port DDR2/LPDDR controller.
Bank 0 is reserved for the addressing of the internal memories, and a second level of decoding provides 1 Mbyte
of internal memory area. The bank 15 is reserved for the peripherals and provides access to the Advanced
Peripheral Bus (APB).
Other areas are unused and performing an access within them provides an abort to the master requesting such an
access.
5.2
Embedded Memories
5.2.1
Internal SRAM
The SAM9G46 product embeds a total of 64 Kbytes high-speed SRAM split in 4 blocks of 16 Kbytes connected to
one slave of the matrix. After reset and until the Remap Command is performed, the four SRAM blocks are
contiguous and only accessible at address 0x00300000. After Remap, the SRAM also becomes available at
address 0x0.

The SAM9G46 device embeds two memory features. The processor Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM) interface that
allows the processor to access the memory up to processor speed (PCK) and the interface on the AHB side
allowing masters to access the memory at AHB speed (MCK).
A wait state is necessary to access the TCM at 400 MHz. Setting the bit NWS_TCM in the bus Matrix TCM
Configuration Register of the matrix inserts a wait state on the ITCM and DTCM accesses.
5.2.2
TCM Interface
On the processor side, this Internal SRAM can be allocated to three areas:
18
Internal SRAM A is the ARM926EJ-S Instruction TCM. The user can map this SRAM block anywhere in the
ARM926 instruction memory space using CP15 instructions and the TCR configuration register located in
the Chip Configuration User Interface. This SRAM block is also accessible by the ARM926 Masters and by
the AHB Masters through the AHB bus.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
Internal SRAM B is the ARM926EJ-S Data TCM. The user can map this SRAM block anywhere in the
ARM926 data memory space using CP15 instructions. This SRAM block is also accessible by the ARM926
Data Master and by the AHB Masters through the AHB bus.
Internal SRAM C is only accessible by all the AHB Masters. After reset and until the Remap Command is
performed, this SRAM block is accessible through the AHB bus at address 0x0030 0000 by all the AHB
Masters. After Remap, this SRAM block also becomes accessible through the AHB bus at address 0x0 by
the ARM926 Instruction and the ARM926 Data Masters.
Within the 64 Kbytes SRAM size available, the amount of memory assigned to each block is software
programmable according to Table 5-1.

Internal ROM
The SAM9G46 embeds an Internal ROM, which contains the boot ROM and SAM-BA® program.
At any time, the ROM is mapped at address 0x0040 0000. It is also accessible at address 0x0 (BMS = 1) after the
reset and before the Remap Command.

I/O Drive Selection and Delay Control
5.3.1
I/O Drive Selection
The aim of this control is to adapt the signal drive to the frequency. Two bits allow the user to select High or Low
drive for memories data/address/ctrl signals.
5.3.2
Setting the bit [17], EBI_DRIVE, in the CCFG_EBICSA register of the matrix allows to control the drive of the
EBI.
Setting the bit [18], DDR_DRIVE, in the CCFG_EBICSA register of the matrix allows to control the drive of
the DDR.
Delay Control
To avoid the simultaneous switching of all the I/Os, a delay can be inserted on the different EBI, DDR2 and PIO
lines.

System Controller
The System Controller is a set of peripherals that allows handling of key elements of the system, such as power,
resets, clocks, time, interrupts, watchdog, etc.
The System Controller User Interface also embeds the registers that configure the Matrix and a set of registers for
the chip configuration. The chip configuration registers configure the EBI chip select assignment and voltage range
for external memories.
6.1
System Controller Mapping
The System Controller’s peripherals are all mapped within the highest 16 Kbytes of address space, between
addresses 0xFFFF E800 and 0xFFFF FFFF.
However, all the registers of the System Controller are mapped on the top of the address space. All the registers of
the System Controller can be addressed from a single pointer by using the standard ARM instruction set, as the
Load/Store instruction have an indexing mode of ±4 Kbyte.
Figure 6-1 on page 23 shows the System Controller block diagram.
Figure 5-1 on page 17 shows the mapping of the User Interfaces of the System Controller peripherals.

Peripheral Interrupts and Clock Control
7.3.1
System Interrupt
–
IRQ
The System Interrupt in Source 1 is the wired-OR of the interrupt signals coming from:
the DDR2/LPDDR Controller
the Debug Unit
the Periodic Interval Timer
the Real-time Timer
the Real-time Clock
the Watchdog Timer
the Reset Controller
the Power Management Controller
The clock of these peripherals cannot be deactivated and Peripheral ID 1 can only be used within the Advanced
Interrupt Controller.
7.3.2
External Interrupts
All external interrupt signals, i.e., the Fast Interrupt signal FIQ or the Interrupt signal IRQ, use a dedicated
Peripheral ID. However, there is no clock control associated with these peripheral IDs.
7.4
Peripheral Signals Multiplexing on I/O Lines
The SAM9G46 features five PIO controllers, PIOA, PIOB, PIOC, PIOD and PIOE, which multiplexes the I/O lines
of the peripheral set.
Each PIO Controller controls up to 32 lines. Each line can be assigned to one of two peripheral functions, A or B.
The multiplexing tables in the following paragraphs define how the I/O lines of the peripherals A and B are
multiplexed on the PIO Controllers. The two columns “Function” and “Comments” have been inserted in this table
for the user’s own comments; they may be used to track how pins are defined in an application.
Note that some peripheral function which are output only, might be duplicated within the both tables.
The column “Reset State” indicates whether the PIO Line resets in I/O mode or in peripheral mode. If I/O is
mentioned, the PIO Line resets in input with the pull-up enabled, so that the device is maintained in a static state
as soon as the reset is released. As a result, the bit corresponding to the PIO Line in the register PIO_PSR
(Peripheral Status Register) resets low.
If a signal name is mentioned in the “Reset State” column, the PIO Line is assigned to this function and the
corresponding bit in PIO_PSR resets high. This is the case of pins controlling memories, in particular the address
lines, which require the pin to be driven as soon as the reset is released. Note that the pull-up resistor is also
enabled in this case.

ARM9EJ-S Processor
8.4.1
ARM9EJ-S Operating States
The ARM9EJ-S processor can operate in three different states, each with a specific instruction set:
ARM state: 32-bit, word-aligned ARM instructions.
THUMB state: 16-bit, halfword-aligned Thumb instructions.
Jazelle state: variable length, byte-aligned Jazelle instructions.
In Jazelle state, all instruction Fetches are in words.
8.4.2
Switching State
The operating state of the ARM9EJ-S core can be switched between:
ARM state and THUMB state using the BX and BLX instructions, and loads to the PC
ARM state and Jazelle state using the BXJ instruction
All exceptions are entered, handled and exited in ARM state. If an exception occurs in Thumb or Jazelle states, the
processor reverts to ARM state. The transition back to Thumb or Jazelle states occurs automatically on return from
the exception handler.
8.4.3
Instruction Pipelines
The ARM9EJ-S core uses two kinds of pipelines to increase the speed of the flow of instructions to the processor.
A five-stage (five clock cycles) pipeline is used for ARM and Thumb states. It consists of Fetch, Decode, Execute,
Memory and Writeback stages.
A six-stage (six clock cycles) pipeline is used for Jazelle state It consists of Fetch, Jazelle/Decode (two clock
cycles), Execute, Memory and Writeback stages.
8.4.4
Memory Access
The ARM9EJ-S core supports byte (8-bit), half-word (16-bit) and word (32-bit) access. Words must be aligned to
four-byte boundaries, half-words must be aligned to two-byte boundaries and bytes can be placed on any byte
boundary.
Because of the nature of the pipelines, it is possible for a value to be required for use before it has been placed in
the register bank by the actions of an earlier instruction. The ARM9EJ-S control logic automatically detects these
cases and stalls the core or forward data.
8.4.5
Jazelle Technology
The Jazelle technology enables direct and efficient execution of Java byte codes on ARM processors, providing
high performance for the next generation of Java-powered wireless and embedded devices.
The new Java feature of ARM9EJ-S can be described as a hardware emulation of a JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
Java mode will appear as another state: instead of executing ARM or Thumb instructions, it executes Java byte
codes. The Java byte code decoder logic implemented in ARM9EJ-S decodes 95% of executed byte codes and
turns them into ARM instructions without any overhead, while less frequently used byte codes are broken down
into optimized sequences of ARM instructions. The hardware/software split is invisible to the programmer, invisible
to the application and invisible to the operating system. All existing ARM registers are re-used in Jazelle state and
all registers then have particular functions in this mode.
Minimum interrupt latency is maintained across both ARM state and Java state. Since byte codes execution can
be restarted, an interrupt automatically triggers the core to switch from Java state to ARM state for the execution of
the interrupt handler. This means that no special provision has to be made for handling interrupts while executing
byte codes, whether in hardware or in software.

8.4.6
ARM9EJ-S Operating Modes
In all states, there are seven operation modes:
User mode is the usual ARM program execution state. It is used for executing most application programs
Fast Interrupt (FIQ) mode is used for handling fast interrupts. It is suitable for high-speed data transfer or
channel process
Interrupt (IRQ) mode is used for general-purpose interrupt handling
Supervisor mode is a protected mode for the operating system
Abort mode is entered after a data or instruction prefetch abort
System mode is a privileged user mode for the operating system
Undefined mode is entered when an undefined instruction exception occurs
Mode changes may be made under software control, or may be brought about by external interrupts or exception
processing. Most application programs execute in User Mode. The non-user modes, known as privileged modes,
are entered in order to service interrupts or exceptions or to access protected resources.
8.4.7
ARM9EJ-S Registers
The ARM9EJ-S core has a total of 37 registers.
31 general-purpose 32-bit registers
Six 32-bit status registers
Table 8-1 shows all the registers in all modes.

Mode-specific banked registers
The ARM state register set contains 16 directly-accessible registers, r0 to r15, and an additional register, the
Current Program Status Register (CPSR). Registers r0 to r13 are general-purpose registers used to hold either
data or address values. Register r14 is used as a Link register that holds a value (return address) of r15 when BL
or BLX is executed. Register r15 is used as a program counter (PC), whereas the Current Program Status
Register (CPSR) contains condition code flags and the current mode bits.
In privileged modes (FIQ, Supervisor, Abort, IRQ, Undefined), mode-specific banked registers (r8 to r14 in FIQ
mode or r13 to r14 in the other modes) become available. The corresponding banked registers r14_fiq, r14_svc,
r14_abt, r14_irq, r14_und are similarly used to hold the values (return address for each mode) of r15 (PC) when
interrupts and exceptions arise, or when BL or BLX instructions are executed within interrupt or exception routines.
There is another register called Saved Program Status Register (SPSR) that becomes available in privileged
modes instead of CPSR. This register contains condition code flags and the current mode bits saved as a result of
the exception that caused entry to the current (privileged) mode.
In all modes and due to a software agreement, register r13 is used as stack pointer.

The use and the function of all the registers described above should obey ARM Procedure Call Standard (APCS)
which defines:
Constraints on the use of registers
Stack conventions
Argument passing and result return
For more details, refer to ARM Software Development Kit.
The Thumb state register set is a subset of the ARM state set. The programmer has direct access to:
Eight general-purpose registers r0–r7
Stack pointer, SP
Link register, LR (ARM r14)
PC
CPSR
There are banked registers SPs, LRs and SPSRs for each privileged mode (for more details see the ARM9EJ-S
Technical Reference Manual, revision r1p2 page 2-12).
8.4.7.1 Status Registers
The ARM9EJ-S core contains one CPSR, and five SPSRs for exception handlers to use. The program status
registers:
hold information about the most recently performed ALU operation
control the enabling and disabling of interrupts
set the processor operation mode

Figure 8-2 shows the status register format, where:

The Sticky Overflow (Q) flag can be set by certain multiply and fractional arithmetic instructions like QADD,
QDADD, QSUB, QDSUB, SMLAxy, and SMLAWy needed to achieve DSP operations.
The Q flag is sticky in that, when set by an instruction, it remains set until explicitly cleared by an MSR
instruction writing to the CPSR. Instructions cannot execute conditionally on the status of the Q flag.
The J bit in the CPSR indicates when the ARM9EJ-S core is in Jazelle state, where:
38
̶
J = 0: The processor is in ARM or Thumb state, depending on the T bit
̶
J = 1: The processor is in Jazelle state.
Mode: five bits to encode the current processor mode

8.4.7.2 Exceptions
8.4.7.3 Exception Types and Priorities
The ARM9EJ-S supports five types of exceptions. Each type drives the ARM9EJ-S in a privileged mode. The types
of exceptions are:
Fast interrupt (FIQ)
Normal interrupt (IRQ)
Data and Prefetched aborts (Abort)
Undefined instruction (Undefined)
Software interrupt and Reset (Supervisor)
When an exception occurs, the banked version of R14 and the SPSR for the exception mode are used to save the
state.
More than one exception can happen at a time, therefore the ARM9EJ-S takes the arisen exceptions according to
the following priority order:
Reset (highest priority)
Data Abort
FIQ
IRQ
Prefetch Abort
BKPT, Undefined instruction, and Software Interrupt (SWI) (Lowest priority)
The BKPT, or Undefined instruction, and SWI exceptions are mutually exclusive.
Note that there is one exception in the priority scheme: when FIQs are enabled and a Data Abort occurs at the
same time as an FIQ, the ARM9EJ-S core enters the Data Abort handler, and proceeds immediately to FIQ vector.
A normal return from the FIQ causes the Data Abort handler to resume execution. Data Aborts must have higher
priority than FIQs to ensure that the transfer error does not escape detection.
8.4.7.4 Exception Modes and Handling
Exceptions arise whenever the normal flow of a program must be halted temporarily, for example, to service an
interrupt from a peripheral.
When handling an ARM exception, the ARM9EJ-S core performs the following operations:
1.
Preserves the address of the next instruction in the appropriate Link Register that corresponds to the new
mode that has been entered. When the exception entry is from:
̶
̶
ARM and Jazelle states, the ARM9EJ-S copies the address of the next instruction into LR (current
PC(r15) + 4 or PC + 8 depending on the exception).
THUMB state, the ARM9EJ-S writes the value of the PC into LR, offset by a value (current PC + 2, PC
+ 4 or PC + 8 depending on the exception) that causes the program to resume from the correct place
on return.
2.
Copies the CPSR into the appropriate SPSR.
3.
Forces the CPSR mode bits to a value that depends on the exception.
4.
Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from the relevant exception vector.
The register r13 is also banked across exception modes to provide each exception handler with private stack
pointer.
The ARM9EJ-S can also set the interrupt disable flags to prevent otherwise unmanageable nesting of exceptions.
When an exception has completed, the exception handler must move both the return value in the banked LR
minus an offset to the PC and the SPSR to the CPSR. The offset value varies according to the type of exception.
This action restores both PC and the CPSR.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
39
The fast interrupt mode has seven private registers r8 to r14 (banked registers) to reduce or remove the
requirement for register saving which minimizes the overhead of context switching.
The Prefetch Abort is one of the aborts that indicates that the current memory access cannot be completed. When
a Prefetch Abort occurs, the ARM9EJ-S marks the prefetched instruction as invalid, but does not take the
exception until the instruction reaches the Execute stage in the pipeline. If the instruction is not executed, for
example because a branch occurs while it is in the pipeline, the abort does not take place.
The breakpoint (BKPT) instruction is a new feature of ARM9EJ-S that is destined to solve the problem of the
Prefetch Abort. A breakpoint instruction operates as though the instruction caused a Prefetch Abort.
A breakpoint instruction does not cause the ARM9EJ-S to take the Prefetch Abort exception until the instruction
reaches the Execute stage of the pipeline. If the instruction is not executed, for example because a branch occurs
while it is in the pipeline, the breakpoint does not take place.

features are memory access permission controls and virtual to physical address translations.
The Virtual Address generated by the CPU core is converted to a Modified Virtual Address (MVA) by the FCSE
(Fast Context Switch Extension) using the value in CP15 register13. The MMU translates modified virtual
addresses to physical addresses by using a single, two-level page table set stored in physical memory. Each entry
in the set contains the access permissions and the physical address that correspond to the virtual address.
The first level translation tables contain 4096 entries indexed by bits [31:20] of the MVA. These entries contain a
pointer to either a 1 MB section of physical memory along with attribute information (access permissions, domain,
etc.) or an entry in the second level translation tables; coarse table and fine table.
The second level translation tables contain two subtables, coarse table and fine table. An entry in the coarse table
contains a pointer to both large pages and small pages along with access permissions. An entry in the fine table
contains a pointer to large, small and tiny pages.
Table 7 shows the different attributes of each page in the physical memory.

The MMU consists of:
8.6.1
Access control logic
Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB)
Translation table walk hardware
Access Control Logic
The access control logic controls access information for every entry in the translation table. The access control
logic checks two pieces of access information: domain and access permissions. The domain is the primary access
control mechanism for a memory region; there are 16 of them. It defines the conditions necessary for an access to
proceed. The domain determines whether the access permissions are used to qualify the access or whether they
should be ignored.
The second access control mechanism is access permissions that are defined for sections and for large, small and
tiny pages. Sections and tiny pages have a single set of access permissions whereas large and small pages can
be associated with 4 sets of access permissions, one for each subpage (quarter of a page).
8.6.2
Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB)
The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) caches translated entries and thus avoids going through the translation
process every time. When the TLB contains an entry for the MVA (Modified Virtual Address), the access control
logic determines if the access is permitted and outputs the appropriate physical address corresponding to the
MVA. If access is not permitted, the MMU signals the CPU core to abort.
If the TLB does not contain an entry for the MVA, the translation table walk hardware is invoked to retrieve the
translation information from the translation table in physical memory.

8.6.3
Translation Table Walk Hardware
The translation table walk hardware is a logic that traverses the translation tables located in physical memory, gets
the physical address and access permissions and updates the TLB.
The number of stages in the hardware table walking is one or two depending whether the address is marked as a
section-mapped access or a page-mapped access.
There are three sizes of page-mapped accesses and one size of section-mapped access. Page-mapped accesses
are for large pages, small pages and tiny pages. The translation process always begins with a level one fetch. A
section-mapped access requires only a level one fetch, but a page-mapped access requires an additional level two
fetch. For further details on the MMU, please refer to chapter 3 in ARM926EJ-S Technical Reference Manual.
8.6.4
MMU Faults
The MMU generates an abort on the following types of faults:
Alignment faults (for data accesses only)
Translation faults
Domain faults
Permission faults
The access control mechanism of the MMU detects the conditions that produce these faults. If the fault is a result
of memory access, the MMU aborts the access and signals the fault to the CPU core.The MMU retains status and
address information about faults generated by the data accesses in the data fault status register and fault address
register. It also retains the status of faults generated by instruction fetches in the instruction fault status register.
The fault status register (register 5 in CP15) indicates the cause of a data or prefetch abort, and the domain
number of the aborted access when it happens. The fault address register (register 6 in CP15) holds the MVA
associated with the access that caused the Data Abort. For further details on MMU faults, please refer to chapter 3
in ARM926EJ-S Technical Reference Manual.

8.7
Caches and Write Buffer
The ARM926EJ-S contains a 32K Byte Instruction Cache (ICache), a 32K Byte Data Cache (DCache), and a write
buffer. Although the ICache and DCache share common features, each still has some specific mechanisms.
The caches (ICache and DCache) are four-way set associative, addressed, indexed and tagged using the
Modified Virtual Address (MVA), with a cache line length of eight words with two dirty bits for the DCache. The
ICache and DCache provide mechanisms for cache lockdown, cache pollution control, and line replacement.
A new feature is now supported by ARM926EJ-S caches called allocate on read-miss commonly known as
wrapping. This feature enables the caches to perform critical word first cache refilling. This means that when a
request for a word causes a read-miss, the cache performs an AHB access. Instead of loading the whole line
(eight words), the cache loads the critical word first, so the processor can reach it quickly, and then the remaining
words, no matter where the word is located in the line.
The caches and the write buffer are controlled by the CP15 register 1 (Control), CP15 register 7 (cache
operations) and CP15 register 9 (cache lockdown).
8.7.1
Instruction Cache (ICache)
The ICache caches fetched instructions to be executed by the processor. The ICache can be enabled by writing 1
to I bit of the CP15 Register 1 and disabled by writing 0 to this same bit.
When the MMU is enabled, all instruction fetches are subject to translation and permission checks. If the MMU is
disabled, all instructions fetches are cachable, no protection checks are made and the physical address is flatmapped to the modified virtual address. With the MVA use disabled, context switching incurs ICache cleaning
and/or invalidating.
When the ICache is disabled, all instruction fetches appear on external memory (AHB) (see Tables 4-1 and 4-2 in
page 4-4 in ARM926EJ-S TRM).
On reset, the ICache entries are invalidated and the ICache is disabled. For best performance, ICache should be
enabled as soon as possible after reset.
8.7.2
Data Cache (DCache) and Write Buffer
ARM926EJ-S includes a DCache and a write buffer to reduce the effect of main memory bandwidth and latency on
data access performance. The operations of DCache and write buffer are closely connected.
8.7.2.1 DCache
The DCache needs the MMU to be enabled. All data accesses are subject to MMU permission and translation
checks. Data accesses that are aborted by the MMU do not cause linefills or data accesses to appear on the
AMBA ASB interface. If the MMU is disabled, all data accesses are noncachable, nonbufferable, with no protection
checks, and appear on the AHB bus. All addresses are flat-mapped, VA = MVA = PA, which incurs DCache
cleaning and/or invalidating every time a context switch occurs.
The DCache stores the Physical Address Tag (PA Tag) from which every line was loaded and uses it when writing
modified lines back to external memory. This means that the MMU is not involved in write-back operations.
Each line (8 words) in the DCache has two dirty bits, one for the first four words and the other one for the second
four words. These bits, if set, mark the associated half-lines as dirty. If the cache line is replaced due to a linefill or
a cache clean operation, the dirty bits are used to decide whether all, half or none is written back to memory.
DCache can be enabled or disabled by writing either 1 or 0 to bit C in register 1 of CP15 (see Tables 4-3 and 4-4
on page 4-5 in ARM926EJ-S TRM).
The DCache supports write-through and write-back cache operations, selected by memory region using the C and
B bits in the MMU translation tables.
The DCache contains an eight data word entry, single address entry write-back buffer used to hold write-back data
for cache line eviction or cleaning of dirty cache lines.
48
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
The Write Buffer can hold up to 16 words of data and four separate addresses. DCache and Write Buffer
operations are closely connected as their configuration is set in each section by the page descriptor in the MMU
translation table.
8.7.2.2 Write Buffer
The ARM926EJ-S contains a write buffer that has a 16-word data buffer and a four- address buffer. The write
buffer is used for all writes to a bufferable region, write-through region and write-back region. It also allows to avoid
stalling the processor when writes to external memory are performed. When a store occurs, data is written to the
write buffer at core speed (high speed). The write buffer then completes the store to external memory at bus speed
(typically slower than the core speed). During this time, the ARM9EJ-S processor can preform other tasks.
DCache and Write Buffer support write-back and write-through memory regions, controlled by C and B bits in each
section and page descriptor within the MMU translation tables.
8.7.2.3 Write-though Operation
When a cache write hit occurs, the DCache line is updated. The updated data is then written to the write buffer
which transfers it to external memory.
When a cache write miss occurs, a line, chosen by round robin or another algorithm, is stored in the write buffer
which transfers it to external memory.
8.7.2.4 Write-back Operation
When a cache write hit occurs, the cache line or half line is marked as dirty, meaning that its contents are not upto-date with those in the external memory.
When a cache write miss occurs, a line, chosen by round robin or another algorithm, is stored in the write buffer
which transfers it to external memory.

8.8
Tightly-Coupled Memory Interface
8.8.1
TCM Description
The ARM926EJ-S processor features a Tightly-coupled Memory (TCM) interface, which enables separate
instruction and data TCMs (ITCM and DTCM) to be directly reached by the processor. TCMs are used to store
real-time and performance critical code, they also provide a DMA support mechanism. Unlike AHB accesses to
external memories, accesses to TCMs are fast and deterministic and do not incur bus penalties.
The user has the possibility to independently configure each TCM size with values within the following ranges,
[0 Kbyte, 64 Kbytes] for ITCM size and [0 Kbyte, 64 Kbytes] for DTCM size.
TCMs can be configured by two means: HMATRIX TCM register and TCM region register (register 9) in CP15 and
both steps should be performed. HMATRIX TCM register sets TCM size whereas TCM region register (register 9)
in CP15 maps TCMs and enables them.
The data side of the ARM9EJ-S core is able to access the ITCM. This is necessary to enable code to be loaded
into the ITCM, for SWI and emulated instruction handlers, and for accesses to PC-relative literal pools.
8.8.2
Enabling and Disabling TCMs
Prior to any enabling step, the user should configure the TCM sizes in HMATRIX TCM register. Then enabling
TCMs is performed by using TCM region register (register 9) in CP15. The user should use the same sizes as
those put in HMATRIX TCM register. For further details and programming tips, please refer to chapter 2.3 in
ARM926EJ-S TRM.
8.8.3
TCM Mapping
The TCMs can be located anywhere in the memory map, with a single region available for ITCM and a separate
region available for DTCM. The TCMs are physically addressed and can be placed anywhere in physical address
space. However, the base address of a TCM must be aligned to its size, and the DTCM and ITCM regions must
not overlap. TCM mapping is performed by using TCM region register (register 9) in CP15. The user should input
the right mapping address for TCMs.

8.9
Bus Interface Unit
The ARM926EJ-S features a Bus Interface Unit (BIU) that arbitrates and schedules AHB requests. The BIU
implements a multi-layer AHB, based on the AHB-Lite protocol, that enables parallel access paths between
multiple AHB masters and slaves in a system. This is achieved by using a more complex interconnection matrix
and gives the benefit of increased overall bus bandwidth, and a more flexible system architecture.
The multi-master bus architecture has a number of benefits:
8.9.1
It allows the development of multi-master systems with an increased bus bandwidth and a flexible
architecture.
Each AHB layer becomes simple because it only has one master, so no arbitration or master-to-slave
muxing is required. AHB layers, implementing AHB-Lite protocol, do not have to support request and grant,
nor do they have to support retry and split transactions.
The arbitration becomes effective when more than one master wants to access the same slave
simultaneously.
Supported Transfers
The ARM926EJ-S processor performs all AHB accesses as single word, bursts of four words, or bursts of eight
words. Any ARM9EJ-S core request that is not 1, 4, 8 words in size is split into packets of these sizes. Note that
the Atmel bus is AHB-Lite protocol compliant, hence it does not support split and retry requests.
Table 8-7 gives an overview of the supported transfers and different kinds of transactions they are used for.

Thumb Instruction Fetches
All instructions fetches, regardless of the state of ARM9EJ-S core, are made as 32-bit accesses on the AHB. If the
ARM9EJ-S is in Thumb state, then two instructions can be fetched at a time.
8.9.3
Address Alignment
The ARM926EJ-S BIU performs address alignment checking and aligns AHB addresses to the necessary
boundary. 16-bit accesses are aligned to halfword boundaries, and 32-bit accesses are aligned to word
boundaries.

SAM9G46 Debug and Test
9.1
Description
The SAM9G46 features a number of complementary debug and test capabilities. A common JTAG/ICE (In-Circuit
Emulator) port is used for standard debugging functions, such as downloading code and single-stepping through
programs. The Debug Unit provides a two-pin UART that can be used to upload an application into internal SRAM.
It manages the interrupt handling of the internal COMMTX and COMMRX signals that trace the activity of the
Debug Communication Channel.
A set of dedicated debug and test input/output pins gives direct access to these capabilities from a PC-based test
environment.

9.6
Functional Description
9.6.1
Test Pin
One dedicated pin, TST, is used to define the device operating mode. The user must make sure that this pin is tied
at low level to ensure normal operating conditions. Other values associated with this pin are reserved for
manufacturing test.
9.6.2
EmbeddedICE
The ARM9EJ-S EmbeddedICE-RT™ is supported via the ICE/JTAG port. It is connected to a host computer via an
ICE interface. Debug support is implemented using an ARM9EJ-S core embedded within the ARM926EJ-S. The
internal state of the ARM926EJ-S is examined through an ICE/JTAG port which allows instructions to be serially
inserted into the pipeline of the core without using the external data bus. Therefore, when in debug state, a storemultiple (STM) can be inserted into the instruction pipeline. This exports the contents of the ARM9EJ-S registers.
This data can be serially shifted out without affecting the rest of the system.
There are two scan chains inside the ARM9EJ-S processor which support testing, debugging, and programming of
the EmbeddedICE-RT. The scan chains are controlled by the ICE/JTAG port.
EmbeddedICE mode is selected when JTAGSEL is low. It is not possible to switch directly between ICE and JTAG
operations. A chip reset must be performed after JTAGSEL is changed.
For further details on the EmbeddedICE-RT, see the ARM document:
ARM9EJ-S Technical Reference Manual (DDI 0222A).
9.6.3
JTAG Signal Description
TMS is the Test Mode Select input which controls the transitions of the test interface state machine.
TDI is the Test Data Input line which supplies the data to the JTAG registers (Boundary Scan Register, Instruction
Register, or other data registers).
TDO is the Test Data Output line which is used to serially output the data from the JTAG registers to the equipment
controlling the test. It carries the sampled values from the boundary scan chain (or other JTAG registers) and
propagates them to the next chip in the serial test circuit.
NTRST (optional in IEEE Standard 1149.1) is a Test-ReSeT input which is mandatory in ARM cores and used to
reset the debug logic. On Atmel ARM926EJ-S-based cores, NTRST is a Power-on Reset output. It is asserted on
power on. If necessary, the user can also reset the debug logic with the NTRST pin assertion during 2.5 MCK
periods.
TCK is the Test Clock input which enables the test interface. TCK is pulsed by the equipment controlling the test
and not by the tested device. It can be pulsed at any frequency. Note the maximum JTAG clock rate on
ARM926EJ-S cores is 1/6th the clock of the CPU. This gives 5.45 kHz maximum initial JTAG clock rate for an
ARM9E running from the 32.768 kHz slow clock.
RTCK is the Return Test Clock. Not an IEEE Standard 1149.1 signal added for a better clock handling by
emulators. From some ICE Interface probes, this return signal can be used to synchronize the TCK clock and take
not care about the given ratio between the ICE Interface clock and system clock equal to 1/6th. This signal is only
available in JTAG ICE Mode and not in boundary scan mode.
9.6.4
Debug Unit
The Debug Unit provides a two-pin (DXRD and TXRD) USART that can be used for several debug and trace
purposes and offers an ideal means for in-situ programming solutions and debug monitor communication.
Moreover, the association with two peripheral data controller channels permits packet handling of these tasks with
processor time reduced to a minimum.
56
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
The Debug Unit also manages the interrupt handling of the COMMTX and COMMRX signals that come from the
ICE and that trace the activity of the Debug Communication Channel.The Debug Unit allows blockage of access to
the system through the ICE interface.
A specific register, the Debug Unit Chip ID Register, gives information about the product version and its internal
configuration.
The SAM9G46 Debug Unit Chip ID value is 0x819B 05A2 and the extended ID is 0x00000004 on 32-bit width.
For further details on the Debug Unit, see Section 27. “Debug Unit (DBGU)”.
9.6.5
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan allows pin-level access independent of the device packaging technology.
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan is enabled when JTAGSEL is high. The SAMPLE, EXTEST and BYPASS
functions are implemented. In ICE debug mode, the ARM processor responds with a non-JTAG chip ID that
identifies the processor to the ICE system. This is not IEEE 1149.1 JTAG-compliant.
It is not possible to switch directly between JTAG and ICE operations. A chip reset must be performed after
JTAGSEL is changed.
A Boundary-scan Descriptor Language (BSDL) file is provided to set up test.

Boot Strategies
The system always boots at address 0x0. To ensure maximum boot possibilities the memory layout can be
changed with two parameters.
REMAP allows the user to layout the internal SRAM bank to 0x0 to ease the development. This is done by
software once the system has boot.
BMS allows the user to layout to 0x0, when convenient, the ROM or an external memory. This is done by
hardware at reset.
Note:
All the memory blocks can always be seen at their specified base addresses that are not concerned by
these parameters.
The SAM9G46 manages a boot memory that depends on the level on the BMS pin at reset. The internal memory
area mapped between address 0x0 and 0x000F FFFF is reserved to this effect.
If BMS is detected at 0, the boot memory is the memory connected on the Chip Select 0 of the External Bus
Interface.
Boot on on-chip RC
Boot with the default configuration for the Static Memory Controller, byte select mode, 16-bit data bus,
Read/Write controlled by Chip Select, allows boot on 16-bit non-volatile memory.
To speed up the boot sequence, user programmed software should perform a complete configuration:
Enable the 32768 Hz oscillator if best accuracy is needed
Program the PMC (main oscillator enable or bypass mode)
Program and Start the PLL
Reprogram the SMC setup, cycle, hold, mode timings registers for EBI CS0 to adapt them to the new clock
Switch the system clock to the new value
If BMS is detected at 1, the boot memory is the embedded ROM and the boot program described below is
executed.
10.1
Boot Program
The Boot Program is contained in the embedded ROM. It is also called “ROM Code” or “First level bootloader”. At
power on, if the BMS pin is detected at 1, the boot memory is the embedded ROM and the boot program is
executed.
The boot program consists of several steps. First, it performs device initialization. Then it attempts to boot from
external non volatile memories (NVM). And finally, if no valid program is found in NVM, it executes a routine called
“SAM-BA Monitor”.

Device Initialization
10.3.1 Clock at Start Up
At boot start up, the processor clock (PCK) and the master clock (MCK) are found on the slow clock. The slow
clock can be an external 32 kHz crystal oscillator or the internal RC oscillator. By default the slow clock is the
internal RC oscillator. Its frequency is not precise and is between 20 kHz and 40 kHz. Its start up is much faster
than an external 32 kHz quartz. If a battery supplies the backup power and if the external 32 kHz clock was
previously started up and selected, the slow clock at boot is the external 32 kHz quartz oscillator. Refer to the Slow
Clock Crystal Oscillator description in Section 24. “Clock Generator”.
10.3.2 Initialization Sequence
Initialization follows the steps described below:
1.
Stack setup for ARM supervisor mode.
2.
Main Oscillator Detection: (External crystal or external clock on XIN). The Main Oscillator is disabled at
startup (MOSCEN = 0). First it is bypassed (OSCBYPASS set at 1). Then the MAINRDY bit is polled. Since
this bit is raised, the Main Clock Frequency field is analyzed (MAINF). If the value is bigger than 16, an
external clock connected on XIN is detected. If not, an external quartz connected between XIN and XOUT
(whose frequency is unknown at this moment) is detected.
3.
Main Oscillator Enabling: if an external clock is connected on XIN, the Main Oscillator does not need to be
started. Otherwise, the OSCBYPASS bit is not set. The Main Oscillator is enabled (MOSCEN = 1) with the
maximum start-up time and the MOSC bit is polled to wait for stabilization.
4.
Main Oscillator Selection: the Master Clock source is switched from Slow Clock to the Main Oscillator
without prescaler. The PMC Status Register is polled to wait for MCK Ready. PCK and MCK are now the
Main Oscillator clock.
5.
C variable initialization: non zero-initialized data are initialized in RAM (copy from ROM to RAM). Zeroinitialized data are set to 0 in RAM.
6.
PLLA initialization: PLLA is configured to allow communication on the USB link for the SAM-BA Monitor. Its

The NVM bootloader program initializes the NVM. It initializes the required PIO. It sets the right peripheral
depending on the NVM and tries to access the memory. If the initialization fails, it restores the reset values for the
PIO and peripherals and then the next NVM bootloader program is executed.
If the initialization is successful, the NVM bootloader program reads the beginning of the NVM and determines if
the NVM contains valid code.
If the NVM does not contain valid code, the NVM bootloader program restores the reset value for the peripherals
and then the next NVM bootloader program is executed.
If valid code is found, this code is loaded from NVM into internal SRAM and executed by branching at address
0x0000_0000 after remap. This code may be the application code or a second-level bootloader. All the calls to
functions are PC relative and do not use absolute addresses.

10.4.2 Valid Code Detection
There are two kinds of valid code detection. Depending on the NVM bootloader, either one or both of them is used.
10.4.2.1 ARM Exception Vectors Check
The NVM bootloader program reads and analyzes the first 28 bytes corresponding to the first seven ARM
exception vectors. Except for the sixth vector, these bytes must implement the ARM instructions for either branch
or load PC with PC relative addressing.

10.5.2 DBGU Serial Port
Communication is performed through the DBGU serial port initialized to 115200 Baud, 8 bits of data, no parity, 1
stop bit.
10.5.2.1 Supported External Crystal/External Clocks
The SAM-BA Monitor supports a frequency of 12 MHz to allow DBGU communication for both external crystal and
external clock.
10.5.2.2 Xmodem Protocol
The Send and Receive File commands use the Xmodem protocol to communicate. Any terminal performing this
protocol can be used to send the application file to the target. The size of the binary file to send depends on the
SRAM size embedded in the product. In all cases, the size of the binary file must be lower than the SRAM size
because the Xmodem protocol requires some SRAM memory in order to work.
The Xmodem protocol supported is the 128-byte length block. This protocol uses a two-character CRC-16 to
guarantee detection of a maximum bit error.
Xmodem protocol with CRC is accurate provided both sender and receiver report successful transmission. Each
block of the transfer looks like:
in which:
̶
= 01 hex
̶
= binary number, starts at 01, increments by 1, and wraps 0FFH to 00H (not to 01)
̶
= 1’s complement of the blk#.
̶
= 2 bytes CRC16
Figure 10-9 shows a transmission using this protocol.

10.5.3 USB Device Port
10.5.3.1 Supported External Crystal / External Clocks
The only frequency supported by SAM-BA Monitor to allow USB communication is a 12 MHz crystal or external
clock.
10.5.3.2 USB Class
The device uses the USB communication device class (CDC) drivers to take advantage of the installed PC RS-232
software to talk over the USB. The CDC class is implemented in all releases of Windows ® , beginning with
Windows 98SE®. The CDC document, available at www.usb.org, describes how to implement devices such as
ISDN modems and virtual COM ports.
The Vendor ID is Atmel’s vendor ID 0x03EB. The product ID is 0x6124. These references are used by the host
operating system to mount the correct driver. On Windows systems, the INF files contain the correspondence
between vendor ID and product ID.
10.5.3.3 Enumeration Process
The USB protocol is a master/slave protocol. The host starts the enumeration, sending requests to the device
through the control endpoint. The device handles standard requests as defined in the USB Specification.

10.5.3.4 Communication Endpoints
There are two communication endpoints and endpoint 0 is used for the enumeration process. Endpoint 1 is a 64byte Bulk OUT endpoint and endpoint 2 is a 64-byte Bulk IN endpoint. SAM-BA Boot commands are sent by the
host through endpoint 1. If required, the message is split by the host into several data payloads by the host driver.
If the command requires a response, the host can send IN transactions to pick up the response.

Reset Controller (RSTC)
11.1
Description
The Reset Controller (RSTC), based on power-on reset cells, handles all the resets of the system without any
external components. It reports which reset occurred last.
The Reset Controller also drives independently or simultaneously the external reset and the peripheral and
processor resets.
11.2
Embedded Characteristics
The Reset Controller is based on two Power-on Reset cells, one on VDDBU and one on VDDCORE.
The Reset Controller is capable to return to the software the source of the last reset, either a general reset
(VDDBU rising), a wake-up reset (VDDCORE rising), a software reset, a user reset or a watchdog reset.
The Reset Controller controls the internal resets of the system and the NRST pin. The NRST pin is bidirectional. It
is handled by the on-chip reset controller and can be driven low to provide a reset signal to the external
components or asserted low externally to reset the microcontroller. It will reset the Core and the peripherals except
the Backup region. There is no constraint on the length of the reset pulse and the reset controller can guarantee a
minimum pulse length.
The NRST pin integrates a permanent pull-up resistor to VDDIOP0 of about 100 kΩ. NRST is an open drain
output.
The configuration of the Reset Controller is saved as supplied on VDDBU.

Functional Description
11.4.1 Reset Controller Overview
The Reset Controller is made up of an NRST Manager, a Startup Counter and a Reset State Manager. It runs at
Slow Clock and generates the following reset signals:
proc_nreset: Processor reset line. It also resets the Watchdog Timer.
backup_nreset: Affects all the peripherals powered by VDDBU.
periph_nreset: Affects the whole set of embedded peripherals.
nrst_out: Drives the NRST pin.
These reset signals are asserted by the Reset Controller, either on external events or on software action. The
Reset State Manager controls the generation of reset signals and provides a signal to the NRST Manager when an
assertion of the NRST pin is required.
The NRST Manager shapes the NRST assertion during a programmable time, thus controlling external device
resets.
The startup counter waits for the complete crystal oscillator startup. The wait delay is given by the crystal oscillator
startup time maximum value that can be found in the section Crystal Oscillator Characteristics in the Electrical
Characteristics section of the product datasheet.
The Reset Controller Mode Register (RSTC_MR), allowing the configuration of the Reset Controller, is powered
with VDDBU, so that its configuration is saved as long as VDDBU is on.
11.4.2 NRST Manager
The NRST Manager samples the NRST input pin and drives this pin low when required by the Reset State
Manager. Figure 11-2 shows the block diagram of the NRST Manager.

11.4.2.1 NRST Signal or Interrupt
The NRST Manager samples the NRST pin at Slow Clock speed. When the line is detected low, a User Reset is
reported to the Reset State Manager.
However, the NRST Manager can be programmed to not trigger a reset when an assertion of NRST occurs.
Writing the bit URSTEN at 0 in RSTC_MR disables the User Reset trigger.
The level of the pin NRST can be read at any time in the bit NRSTL (NRST level) in RSTC_SR. As soon as the pin
NRST is asserted, the bit URSTS in RSTC_SR is set. This bit clears only when RSTC_SR is read.
The Reset Controller can also be programmed to generate an interrupt instead of generating a reset. To do so, the
bit URSTIEN in RSTC_MR must be written at 1.
74
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
11.4.2.2 NRST External Reset Control
The Reset State Manager asserts the signal ext_nreset to assert the NRST pin. When this occurs, the “nrst_out”
signal is driven low by the NRST Manager for a time programmed by the field ERSTL in RSTC_MR. This assertion
duration, named EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH, lasts 2(ERSTL+1) Slow Clock cycles. This gives the approximate
duration of an assertion between 60 µs and 2 seconds. Note that ERSTL at 0 defines a two-cycle duration for the
NRST pulse.
This feature allows the Reset Controller to shape the NRST pin level, and thus to guarantee that the NRST line is
driven low for a time compliant with potential external devices connected on the system reset.
As the field is within RSTC_MR, which is backed up, this field can be used to shape the system power-up reset for
devices requiring a longer startup time than the Slow Clock Oscillator.
11.4.3 BMS Sampling
The product matrix manages a boot memory that depends on the level on the BMS pin at reset. The BMS signal is
sampled three slow clock cycles after the Core Power-On Reset output rising edge.

11.4.4 Reset States
The Reset State Manager handles the different reset sources and generates the internal reset signals. It reports
the reset status in the field RSTTYP of the Status Register (RSTC_SR). The update of the field RSTTYP is
performed when the processor reset is released.

Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
75
11.4.4.1 General Reset
A general reset occurs when VDDBU and VDDCORE are powered on. The backup supply POR cell output rises
and is filtered with a Startup Counter, which operates at Slow Clock. The purpose of this counter is to make sure
the Slow Clock oscillator is stable before starting up the device. The length of startup time is hardcoded to comply
with the Slow Clock Oscillator startup time.
After this time, the processor clock is released at Slow Clock and all the other signals remain valid for three cycles
for proper processor and logic reset. Then, all the reset signals are released and the field RSTTYP in RSTC_SR
reports a General Reset. As the RSTC_MR is reset, the NRST line rises 2 cycles after the backup_nreset, as
ERSTL defaults at value 0x0.
When VDDBU is detected low by the Backup Supply POR Cell, all resets signals are immediately asserted, even if
the Main Supply POR Cell does not report a Main Supply shutdown.
VDDBU only activates the backup_nreset signal.
The backup_nreset must be released so that any other reset can be generated by VDDCORE (Main Supply POR
output).
Figure 11-4 shows how the General Reset affects the reset signals.

11.4.4.2 Wake-up Reset
The Wake-up Reset occurs when the Main Supply is down. When the Main Supply POR output is active, all the
reset signals are asserted except backup_nreset. When the Main Supply powers up, the POR output is
resynchronized on Slow Clock. The processor clock is then re-enabled during three Slow Clock cycles, depending
on the requirements of the ARM processor.
At the end of this delay, the processor and other reset signals rise. The field RSTTYP in RSTC_SR is updated to
report a Wake-up Reset.
The “nrst_out” remains asserted for EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH cycles. As RSTC_MR is backed up, the
programmed number of cycles is applicable.
When the Main Supply is detected falling, the reset signals are immediately asserted. This transition is
synchronous with the output of the Main Supply POR.

11.4.4.3 User Reset
The User Reset is entered when a low level is detected on the NRST pin and the bit URSTEN in RSTC_MR is at 1.
The NRST input signal is resynchronized with SLCK to insure proper behavior of the system.
The User Reset is entered as soon as a low level is detected on NRST. The Processor Reset and the Peripheral
Reset are asserted.
The User Reset is left when NRST rises, after a two-cycle resynchronization time and a three-cycle processor
startup. The processor clock is re-enabled as soon as NRST is confirmed high.
When the processor reset signal is released, the RSTTYP field of the Status Register (RSTC_SR) is loaded with
the value 0x4, indicating a User Reset.
The NRST Manager guarantees that the NRST line is asserted for EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH Slow Clock
cycles, as programmed in the field ERSTL. However, if NRST does not rise after EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH
because it is driven low externally, the internal reset lines remain asserted until NRST actually rises.

11.4.4.4 Software Reset
The Reset Controller offers several commands used to assert the different reset signals. These commands are
performed by writing the Control Register (RSTC_CR) with the following bits at 1:
PROCRST: Writing PROCRST at 1 resets the processor and the watchdog timer.
PERRST: Writing PERRST at 1 resets all the embedded peripherals, including the memory system, and, in
particular, the Remap Command. The Peripheral Reset is generally used for debug purposes.
Except for Debug purposes, PERRST must always be used in conjunction with PROCRST (PERRST and
PROCRST set both at 1 simultaneously.)
EXTRST: Writing EXTRST at 1 asserts low the NRST pin during a time defined by the field ERSTL in the
Mode Register (RSTC_MR).
The software reset is entered if at least one of these bits is set by the software. All these commands can be
performed independently or simultaneously. The software reset lasts three Slow Clock cycles.
The internal reset signals are asserted as soon as the register write is performed. This is detected on the Master
Clock (MCK). They are released when the software reset is left, i.e., synchronously to SLCK.
If EXTRST is set, the nrst_out signal is asserted depending on the programming of the field ERSTL. However, the
resulting falling edge on NRST does not lead to a User Reset.
If and only if the PROCRST bit is set, the Reset Controller reports the software status in the field RSTTYP of the
Status Register (RSTC_SR). Other Software Resets are not reported in RSTTYP.
As soon as a software operation is detected, the bit SRCMP (Software Reset Command in Progress) is set in the
Status Register (RSTC_SR). It is cleared as soon as the software reset is left. No other software reset can be
performed while the SRCMP bit is set, and writing any value in RSTC_CR has no effect.

11.4.4.5 Watchdog Reset
The Watchdog Reset is entered when a watchdog fault occurs. This state lasts three Slow Clock cycles.
When in Watchdog Reset, assertion of the reset signals depends on the WDRPROC bit in WDT_MR:
If WDRPROC is 0, the Processor Reset and the Peripheral Reset are asserted. The NRST line is also
asserted, depending on the programming of the field ERSTL. However, the resulting low level on NRST
does not result in a User Reset state.
If WDRPROC = 1, only the processor reset is asserted.
The Watchdog Timer is reset by the proc_nreset signal. As the watchdog fault always causes a processor reset if
WDRSTEN is set, the Watchdog Timer is always reset after a Watchdog Reset, and the Watchdog is enabled by
default and with a period set to a maximum.
When the WDRSTEN in WDT_MR bit is reset, the watchdog fault has no impact on the reset controller.

The Reset State Manager manages the following priorities between the different reset sources, given in
descending order:
Backup Reset
Wake-up Reset
Watchdog Reset
Software Reset
User Reset
Particular cases are listed below:
When in User Reset:
̶
̶
A watchdog event is impossible because the Watchdog Timer is being reset by the proc_nreset signal.
A software reset is impossible, since the processor reset is being activated.
When in Software Reset:
̶
A watchdog event has priority over the current state.
̶
The NRST has no effect.
When in Watchdog Reset:
̶
The processor reset is active and so a Software Reset cannot be programmed.
̶
A User Reset cannot be entered.

11.4.6 Reset Controller Status Register
The Reset Controller status register (RSTC_SR) provides several status fields:
RSTTYP field: This field gives the type of the last reset, as explained in previous sections.
SRCMP bit: This field indicates that a Software Reset Command is in progress and that no further software
reset should be performed until the end of the current one. This bit is automatically cleared at the end of the
current software reset.
NRSTL bit: The NRSTL bit of the Status Register gives the level of the NRST pin sampled on each MCK
rising edge.
URSTS bit: A high-to-low transition of the NRST pin sets the URSTS bit of the RSTC_SR. This transition is
also detected on the Master Clock (MCK) rising edge (see Figure 11-9). If the User Reset is disabled
(URSTEN = 0) and if the interruption is enabled by the URSTIEN bit in the RSTC_MR, the URSTS bit
triggers an interrupt. Reading the RSTC_SR status register resets the URSTS bit and clears the interrupt.

Functional Description
The Real-time Timer is used to count elapsed seconds. It is built around a 32-bit counter fed by Slow Clock divided
by a programmable 16-bit value. The value can be programmed in the field RTPRES of the Real-time Mode
Register (RTT_MR).
Programming RTPRES at 0x00008000 corresponds to feeding the real-time counter with a 1 Hz signal (if the Slow
Clock is 32.768 kHz). The 32-bit counter can count up to 232 seconds, corresponding to more than 136 years, then
roll over to 0.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
87
The Real-time Timer can also be used as a free-running timer with a lower time-base. The best accuracy is
achieved by writing RTPRES to 3. Programming RTPRES to 1 or 2 is possible, but may result in losing status
events because the status register is cleared two Slow Clock cycles after read. Thus if the RTT is configured to
trigger an interrupt, the interrupt occurs during 2 Slow Clock cycles after reading RTT_SR. To prevent several
executions of the interrupt handler, the interrupt must be disabled in the interrupt handler and re-enabled when the
status register is clear.
The Real-time Timer value (CRTV) can be read at any time in the register RTT_VR (Real-time Value Register). As
this value can be updated asynchronously from the Master Clock, it is advisable to read this register twice at the
same value to improve accuracy of the returned value.
The current value of the counter is compared with the value written in the alarm register RTT_AR (Real-time Alarm
Register). If the counter value matches the alarm, the bit ALMS in RTT_SR is set. The alarm register is set to its
maximum value, corresponding to 0xFFFF_FFFF, after a reset.
The bit RTTINC in RTT_SR is set each time the Real-time Timer counter is incremented. This bit can be used to
start a periodic interrupt, the period being one second when the RTPRES is programmed with 0x8000 and Slow
Clock equal to 32.768 Hz.
Reading the RTT_SR status register resets the RTTINC and ALMS fields.
Writing the bit RTTRST in RTT_MR immediately reloads and restarts the clock divider with the new programmed
value. This also resets the 32-bit counter.
Note:
Because of the asynchronism between the Slow Clock (SCLK) and the System Clock (MCK):
1) The restart of the counter and the reset of the RTT_VR current value register is effective only 2 slow clock cycles
after the write of the RTTRST bit in the RTT_MR.
2) The status register flags reset is taken into account only 2 slow clock cycles after the read of the RTT_SR (Status
Register).

Real-time Clock (RTC)
13.1
Description
The Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral is designed for very low power consumption.
It combines a complete time-of-day clock with alarm and a two-hundred-year Gregorian calendar, complemented
by a programmable periodic interrupt. The alarm and calendar registers are accessed by a 32-bit data bus.
The time and calendar values are coded in binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. The time format can be 24-hour
mode or 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.
Updating time and calendar fields and configuring the alarm fields are performed by a parallel capture on the 32-bit
data bus. An entry control is performed to avoid loading registers with incompatible BCD format data or with an
incompatible date according to the current month/year/century.

Product Dependencies
13.4.1
Power Management
The Real-time Clock is continuously clocked at 32768 Hz. The Power Management Controller has no effect on
RTC behavior.
13.4.2
Interrupt
The RTC Interrupt is connected to interrupt source 1 (IRQ1) of the advanced interrupt controller. This interrupt line
is due to the OR-wiring of the system peripheral interrupt lines (System Timer, Real-time Clock, Power
Management Controller, Memory Controller, etc.). When a system interrupt occurs, the service routine must first
determine the cause of the interrupt. This is done by reading the status registers of the above system peripherals
successively.
13.5
Functional Description
The RTC provides a full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock that includes century (19/20), year (with leap years),
month, date, day, hours, minutes and seconds.
The valid year range is 1900 to 2099, a two-hundred-year Gregorian calendar achieving full Y2K compliance.
The RTC can operate in 24-hour mode or in 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.
Corrections for leap years are included (all years divisible by 4 being leap years, including year 2000). This is
correct up to the year 2099.
After a general reset (a backup reset), the calendar is initialized to Thursday, January 1, 1998.
13.5.1
Reference Clock
The reference clock is Slow Clock (SLCK). It can be driven internally or by an external 32.768 kHz crystal.
During low power modes of the processor (idle mode), the oscillator runs and power consumption is critical. The
crystal selection has to take into account the current consumption for power saving and the frequency drift due to
temperature effect on the circuit for time accuracy.
13.5.2
Timing
The RTC is updated in real time at one-second intervals in normal mode for the counters of seconds, at oneminute intervals for the counter of minutes and so on.
Due to the asynchronous operation of the RTC with respect to the rest of the chip, to be certain that the value read
in the RTC registers (century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, seconds) are valid and stable, it is
necessary to read these registers twice. If the data is the same both times, then it is valid. Therefore, a minimum of
two and a maximum of three accesses are required.
13.5.3
Alarm
The RTC has five programmable fields: month, date, hours, minutes and seconds.
Each of these fields can be enabled or disabled to match the alarm condition:
If all the fields are enabled, an alarm flag is generated (the corresponding flag is asserted and an interrupt
generated if enabled) at a given month, date, hour/minute/second.
If only the “seconds” field is enabled, then an alarm is generated every minute.
Depending on the combination of fields enabled, a large number of possibilities are available to the user ranging
from minutes to 365/366 days.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
95
13.5.4
Error Checking
Verification on user interface data is performed when accessing the century, year, month, date, day, hours,
minutes, seconds and alarms. A check is performed on illegal BCD entries such as illegal date of the month with
regard to the year and century configured.
If one of the time fields is not correct, the data is not loaded into the register/counter and a flag is set in the validity
register. The user can not reset this flag. It is reset as soon as an acceptable value is programmed. This avoids
any further side effects in the hardware. The same procedure is done for the alarm.
The following checks are performed:
1.
Century (check if it is in range 19–20)
2.
Year (BCD entry check)
3.
Date (check range 01–31)
4.
Month (check if it is in BCD range 01–12, check validity regarding “date”)
5.
Day (check range 1–7)
6.
Hour (BCD checks: in 24-hour mode, check range 00–23 and check that AM/PM flag is not set if RTC is set
in 24-hour mode; in 12-hour mode check range 01–12)
7.
Minute (check BCD and range 00–59)
8.
Second (check BCD and range 00–59)
Note:
13.5.5
If the 12-hour mode is selected by means of the RTC_MODE register, a 12-hour value can be programmed and the
returned value on RTC_TIME will be the corresponding 24-hour value. The entry control checks the value of the
AM/PM indicator (bit 22 of RTC_TIME register) to determine the range to be checked.
Updating Time/Calendar
To update any of the time/calendar fields, the user must first stop the RTC by setting the corresponding field in the
Control Register. Bit UPDTIM must be set to update time fields (hour, minute, second) and bit UPDCAL must be
set to update calendar fields (century, year, month, date, day).
Then the user must poll or wait for the interrupt (if enabled) of bit ACKUPD in the Status Register. Once the bit
reads 1, it is mandatory to clear this flag by writing the corresponding bit in RTC_SCCR. The user can now write to
the appropriate Time and Calendar register.
Once the update is finished, the user must reset (0) UPDTIM and/or UPDCAL in the Control
When entering programming mode of the calendar fields, the time fields remain enabled. When entering the
programming mode of the time fields, both time and calendar fields are stopped. This is due to the location of the
calendar logic circuity (downstream for low-power considerations). It is highly recommended to prepare all the
fields to be updated before entering programming mode. In successive update operations, the user must wait at
least one second after resetting the UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit in the RTC_CR (Control Register) before setting these
bits again. This is done by waiting for the SEC flag in the Status Register before setting UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit.
After resetting UPDTIM/UPDCAL, the SEC flag must also be cleared.

Functional Description
The Periodic Interval Timer aims at providing periodic interrupts for use by operating systems.
The PIT provides a programmable overflow counter and a reset-on-read feature. It is built around two counters: a
20-bit CPIV counter and a 12-bit PICNT counter. Both counters work at Master Clock /16.
The first 20-bit CPIV counter increments from 0 up to a programmable overflow value set in the field PIV of the
Mode Register (PIT_MR). When the counter CPIV reaches this value, it resets to 0 and increments the Periodic
Interval Counter, PICNT. The status bit PITS in the Status Register (PIT_SR) rises and triggers an interrupt,
provided the interrupt is enabled (PITIEN in PIT_MR).
Writing a new PIV value in PIT_MR does not reset/restart the counters.
When CPIV and PICNT values are obtained by reading the Periodic Interval Value Register (PIT_PIVR), the
overflow counter (PICNT) is reset and the PITS is cleared, thus acknowledging the interrupt. The value of PICNT
gives the number of periodic intervals elapsed since the last read of PIT_PIVR.
When CPIV and PICNT values are obtained by reading the Periodic Interval Image Register (PIT_PIIR), there is
no effect on the counters CPIV and PICNT, nor on the bit PITS. For example, a profiler can read PIT_PIIR without
clearing any pending interrupt, whereas a timer interrupt clears the interrupt by reading PIT_PIVR.
The PIT may be enabled/disabled using the PITEN bit in the PIT_MR (disabled on reset). The PITEN bit only
becomes effective when the CPIV value is 0. Figure 14-2 illustrates the PIT counting. After the PIT Enable bit is
reset (PITEN = 0), the CPIV goes on counting until the PIV value is reached, and is then reset. PIT restarts
counting, only if the PITEN is set again.
The PIT is stopped when the core enters debug state.

Description
The Watchdog Timer can be used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. It
features a 12-bit down counter that allows a watchdog period of up to 16 seconds (slow clock at 32.768 kHz). It
can generate a general reset or a processor reset only. In addition, it can be stopped while the processor is in
debug mode or idle mode.

27.5.2 Receiver
27.5.2.1 Receiver Reset, Enable and Disable
After device reset, the Debug Unit receiver is disabled and must be enabled before being used. The receiver can
be enabled by writing the control register DBGU_CR with the bit RXEN at 1. At this command, the receiver starts
looking for a start bit.
The programmer can disable the receiver by writing DBGU_CR with the bit RXDIS at 1. If the receiver is waiting for
a start bit, it is immediately stopped. However, if the receiver has already detected a start bit and is receiving the
data, it waits for the stop bit before actually stopping its operation.
The programmer can also put the receiver in its reset state by writing DBGU_CR with the bit RSTRX at 1. In doing
so, the receiver immediately stops its current operations and is disabled, whatever its current state. If RSTRX is
applied when data is being processed, this data is lost.
27.5.2.2 Start Detection and Data Sampling
The Debug Unit only supports asynchronous operations, and this affects only its receiver. The Debug Unit receiver
detects the start of a received character by sampling the DRXD signal until it detects a valid start bit. A low level
(space) on DRXD is interpreted as a valid start bit if it is detected for more than 7 cycles of the sampling clock,
which is 16 times the baud rate. Hence, a space that is longer than 7/16 of the bit period is detected as a valid start
bit. A space which is 7/16 of a bit period or shorter is ignored and the receiver continues to wait for a valid start bit.
When a valid start bit has been detected, the receiver samples the DRXD at the theoretical midpoint of each bit. It
is assumed that each bit lasts 16 cycles of the sampling clock (1-bit period) so the bit sampling point is eight cycles
(0.5-bit period) after the start of the bit. The first sampling point is therefore 24 cycles (1.5-bit periods) after the
falling edge of the start bit was detected.
Each subsequent bit is sampled 16 cycles (1-bit period) after the previous one.

27.5.2.3 Receiver Ready
When a complete character is received, it is transferred to the DBGU_RHR and the RXRDY status bit in
DBGU_SR (Status Register) is set. The bit RXRDY is automatically cleared when the receive holding register
DBGU_RHR is read.

If DBGU_RHR has not been read by the software (or the Peripheral Data Controller) since the last transfer, the
RXRDY bit is still set and a new character is received, the OVRE status bit in DBGU_SR is set. OVRE is cleared
when the software writes the control register DBGU_CR with the bit RSTSTA (Reset Status) at 1.

27.5.2.5 Parity Error
Each time a character is received, the receiver calculates the parity of the received data bits, in accordance with
the field PAR in DBGU_MR. It then compares the result with the received parity bit. If different, the parity error bit
PARE in DBGU_SR is set at the same time the RXRDY is set. The parity bit is cleared when the control register
DBGU_CR is written with the bit RSTSTA (Reset Status) at 1. If a new character is received before the reset status
command is written, the PARE bit remains at 1.

27.5.2.6 Receiver Framing Error
When a start bit is detected, it generates a character reception when all the data bits have been sampled. The stop
bit is also sampled and when it is detected at 0, the FRAME (Framing Error) bit in DBGU_SR is set at the same
time the RXRDY bit is set. The bit FRAME remains high until the control register DBGU_CR is written with the bit
RSTSTA at 1.

27.5.3 Transmitter
27.5.3.1 Transmitter Reset, Enable and Disable
After device reset, the Debug Unit transmitter is disabled and it must be enabled before being used. The
transmitter is enabled by writing the control register DBGU_CR with the bit TXEN at 1. From this command, the
transmitter waits for a character to be written in the Transmit Holding Register DBGU_THR before actually starting
the transmission.
The programmer can disable the transmitter by writing DBGU_CR with the bit TXDIS at 1. If the transmitter is not
operating, it is immediately stopped. However, if a character is being processed into the Shift Register and/or a
character has been written in the Transmit Holding Register, the characters are completed before the transmitter is
actually stopped.
The programmer can also put the transmitter in its reset state by writing the DBGU_CR with the bit RSTTX at 1.
This immediately stops the transmitter, whether or not it is processing characters.
27.5.3.2 Transmit Format
The Debug Unit transmitter drives the pin DTXD at the baud rate clock speed. The line is driven depending on the
format defined in the Mode Register and the data stored in the Shift Register. One start bit at level 0, then the 8
data bits, from the lowest to the highest bit, one optional parity bit and one stop bit at 1 are consecutively shifted
out as shown on the following figure. The field PARE in the mode register DBGU_MR defines whether or not a
parity bit is shifted out. When a parity bit is enabled, it can be selected between an odd parity, an even parity, or a
fixed space or mark bit.

27.5.3.3 Transmitter Control
When the transmitter is enabled, the bit TXRDY (Transmitter Ready) is set in the status register DBGU_SR. The
transmission starts when the programmer writes in the Transmit Holding Register DBGU_THR, and after the
written character is transferred from DBGU_THR to the Shift Register. The bit TXRDY remains high until a second
character is written in DBGU_THR. As soon as the first character is completed, the last character written in
DBGU_THR is transferred into the shift register and TXRDY rises again, showing that the holding register is
empty.
When both the Shift Register and the DBGU_THR are empty, i.e., all the characters written in DBGU_THR have
been processed, the bit TXEMPTY rises after the last stop bit has been completed.

27.5.4 Peripheral Data Controller
Both the receiver and the transmitter of the Debug Unit's UART are generally connected to a Peripheral Data
Controller (PDC) channel.
The peripheral data controller channels are programmed via registers that are mapped within the Debug Unit user
interface from the offset 0x100. The status bits are reported in the Debug Unit status register DBGU_SR and can
generate an interrupt.
The RXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the receiver. This results in a read of the data in
DBGU_RHR. The TXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the transmitter. This results in a write of a
data in DBGU_THR.
27.5.5 Test Modes
The Debug Unit supports three tests modes. These modes of operation are programmed by using the field
CHMODE (Channel Mode) in the mode register DBGU_MR.
The Automatic Echo mode allows bit-by-bit retransmission. When a bit is received on the DRXD line, it is sent to
the DTXD line. The transmitter operates normally, but has no effect on the DTXD line.
The Local Loopback mode allows the transmitted characters to be received. DTXD and DRXD pins are not used
and the output of the transmitter is internally connected to the input of the receiver. The DRXD pin level has no
effect and the DTXD line is held high, as in idle state.
The Remote Loopback mode directly connects the DRXD pin to the DTXD line. The transmitter and the receiver
are disabled and have no effect. This mode allows a bit-by-bit retransmission.

27.5.6 Debug Communication Channel Support
The Debug Unit handles the signals COMMRX and COMMTX that come from the Debug Communication Channel
of the ARM Processor and are driven by the In-circuit Emulator.
The Debug Communication Channel contains two registers that are accessible through the ICE Breaker on the
JTAG side and through the coprocessor 0 on the ARM Processor side.
As a reminder, the following instructions are used to read and write the Debug Communication Channel:
MRC
p14, 0, Rd, c1, c0, 0
Returns the debug communication data read register into Rd
MCR
p14, 0, Rd, c1, c0, 0
Writes the value in Rd to the debug communication data write register.
The bits COMMRX and COMMTX, which indicate, respectively, that the read register has been written by the
debugger but not yet read by the processor, and that the write register has been written by the processor and not
yet read by the debugger, are wired on the two highest bits of the status register DBGU_SR. These bits can
generate an interrupt. This feature permits handling under interrupt a debug link between a debug monitor running
on the target system and a debugger.
406
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
27.5.7 Chip Identifier
The Debug Unit features two chip identifier registers, DBGU_CIDR (Chip ID Register) and DBGU_EXID
(Extension ID). Both registers contain a hard-wired value that is read-only. The first register contains the following
fields:
EXT - shows the use of the extension identifier register
NVPTYP and NVPSIZ - identifies the type of embedded non-volatile memory and its size
ARCH - identifies the set of embedded peripherals
SRAMSIZ - indicates the size of the embedded SRAM
EPROC - indicates the embedded ARM processor
VERSION - gives the revision of the silicon
The second register is device-dependent and reads 0 if the bit EXT is 0.
27.5.8 ICE Access Prevention
The Debug Unit allows blockage of access to the system through the ARM processor's ICE interface. This feature
is implemented via the register Force NTRST (DBGU_FNR), that allows assertion of the NTRST signal of the ICE
Interface. Writing the bit FNTRST (Force NTRST) to 1 in this register prevents any activity on the TAP controller.
On standard devices, the bit FNTRST resets to 0 and thus does not prevent ICE access.
This feature is especially useful on custom ROM devices for customers who do not want their on-chip code to be
visible.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
28.1
Description
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) circuit is a synchronous serial data link that provides communication with
external devices in Master or Slave Mode. It also enables communication between processors if an external
processor is connected to the system.
The Serial Peripheral Interface is essentially a shift register that serially transmits data bits to other SPIs. During a
data transfer, one SPI system acts as the “master”' which controls the data flow, while the other devices act as
“slaves'' which have data shifted into and out by the master. Different CPUs can take turn being masters (Multiple
Master Protocol opposite to Single Master Protocol where one CPU is always the master while all of the others are
always slaves) and one master may simultaneously shift data into multiple slaves. However, only one slave may
drive its output to write data back to the master at any given time.
A slave device is selected when the master asserts its NSS signal. If multiple slave devices exist, the master
generates a separate slave select signal for each slave (NPCS).
The SPI system consists of two data lines and two control lines:
28.2
Master Out Slave In (MOSI): This data line supplies the output data from the master shifted into the input(s)
of the slave(s).
Master In Slave Out (MISO): This data line supplies the output data from a slave to the input of the master.
There may be no more than one slave transmitting data during any particular transfer.
Serial Clock (SPCK): This control line is driven by the master and regulates the flow of the data bits. The
master may transmit data at a variety of baud rates; the SPCK line cycles once for each bit that is
transmitted.
Slave Select (NSS): This control line allows slaves to be turned on and off by hardware.

28.6.2 Power Management
The SPI may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first
configure the PMC to enable the SPI clock.
28.6.3 Interrupt
The SPI interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC). Handling the SPI
interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the SPI.

28.7
Functional Description
28.7.1 Modes of Operation
The SPI operates in Master Mode or in Slave Mode.
Operation in Master Mode is programmed by writing at 1 the MSTR bit in the Mode Register. The pins NPCS0 to
NPCS3 are all configured as outputs, the SPCK pin is driven, the MISO line is wired on the receiver input and the
MOSI line driven as an output by the transmitter.
If the MSTR bit is written at 0, the SPI operates in Slave Mode. The MISO line is driven by the transmitter output,
the MOSI line is wired on the receiver input, the SPCK pin is driven by the transmitter to synchronize the receiver.
The NPCS0 pin becomes an input, and is used as a Slave Select signal (NSS). The pins NPCS1 to NPCS3 are not
driven and can be used for other purposes.
The data transfers are identically programmable for both modes of operations. The baud rate generator is
activated only in Master Mode.
28.7.2 Data Transfer
Four combinations of polarity and phase are available for data transfers. The clock polarity is programmed with the
CPOL bit in the Chip Select Register. The clock phase is programmed with the NCPHA bit. These two parameters
determine the edges of the clock signal on which data is driven and sampled. Each of the two parameters has two
possible states, resulting in four possible combinations that are incompatible with one another. Thus, a
master/slave pair must use the same parameter pair values to communicate. If multiple slaves are used and fixed
in different configurations, the master must reconfigure itself each time it needs to communicate with a different
slave.
Table 28-4 shows the four modes and corresponding parameter settings.

28.7.3 Master Mode Operations
When configured in Master Mode, the SPI operates on the clock generated by the internal programmable baud
rate generator. It fully controls the data transfers to and from the slave(s) connected to the SPI bus. The SPI drives
the chip select line to the slave and the serial clock signal (SPCK).
The SPI features two holding registers, the Transmit Data Register and the Receive Data Register, and a single
Shift Register. The holding registers maintain the data flow at a constant rate.
After enabling the SPI, a data transfer begins when the processor writes to the SPI_TDR (Transmit Data Register).
The written data is immediately transferred in the Shift Register and transfer on the SPI bus starts. While the data
in the Shift Register is shifted on the MOSI line, the MISO line is sampled and shifted in the Shift Register.
Receiving data cannot occur without transmitting data. If receiving mode is not needed, for example when
communicating with a slave receiver only (such as an LCD), the receive status flags in the status register can be
discarded.
Before writing the TDR, the PCS field in the SPI_MR must be set in order to select a slave.
After enabling the SPI, a data transfer begins when the processor writes to the SPI_TDR (Transmit Data Register).
The written data is immediately transferred in the Shift Register and transfer on the SPI bus starts. While the data
in the Shift Register is shifted on the MOSI line, the MISO line is sampled and shifted in the Shift Register.
Transmission cannot occur without reception.
Before writing the TDR, the PCS field must be set in order to select a slave.
If new data is written in SPI_TDR during the transfer, it stays in it until the current transfer is completed. Then, the
received data is transferred from the Shift Register to SPI_RDR, the data in SPI_TDR is loaded in the Shift
Register and a new transfer starts.
The transfer of a data written in SPI_TDR in the Shift Register is indicated by the TDRE bit (Transmit Data
Register Empty) in the Status Register (SPI_SR). When new data is written in SPI_TDR, this bit is cleared. The
TDRE bit is used to trigger the Transmit PDC channel.
The end of transfer is indicated by the TXEMPTY flag in the SPI_SR. If a transfer delay (DLYBCT) is greater than
0 for the last transfer, TXEMPTY is set after the completion of said delay. The master clock (MCK) can be switched
off at this time.
The transfer of received data from the Shift Register in SPI_RDR is indicated by the RDRF bit (Receive Data
Register Full) in the Status Register (SPI_SR). When the received data is read, the RDRF bit is cleared.
If the SPI_RDR (Receive Data Register) has not been read before new data is received, the Overrun Error bit
(OVRES) in SPI_SR is set. As long as this flag is set, data is loaded in SPI_RDR. The user has to read the status
register to clear the OVRES bit.
Figure 28-6 on page 431 shows a block diagram of the SPI when operating in Master Mode. Figure 28-7 on page
432 shows a flow chart describing how transfers are handled.

28.7.3.3 Clock Generation
The SPI Baud rate clock is generated by dividing the Master Clock (MCK), by a value between 1 and 255.
This allows a maximum operating baud rate at up to Master Clock and a minimum operating baud rate of MCK
divided by 255.
Programming the SCBR field at 0 is forbidden. Triggering a transfer while SCBR is at 0 can lead to unpredictable
results.
At reset, SCBR is 0 and the user has to program it at a valid value before performing the first transfer.
The divisor can be defined independently for each chip select, as it has to be programmed in the SCBR field of the
Chip Select Registers. This allows the SPI to automatically adapt the baud rate for each interfaced peripheral
without reprogramming.

28.7.3.4 Transfer Delays
Figure 28-10 shows a chip select transfer change and consecutive transfers on the same chip select. Three delays
can be programmed to modify the transfer waveforms:
The delay between chip selects, programmable only once for all the chip selects by writing the DLYBCS field
in the Mode Register. Allows insertion of a delay between release of one chip select and before assertion of
a new one.
The delay before SPCK, independently programmable for each chip select by writing the field DLYBS.
Allows the start of SPCK to be delayed after the chip select has been asserted.
The delay between consecutive transfers, independently programmable for each chip select by writing the
DLYBCT field. Allows insertion of a delay between two transfers occurring on the same chip select
These delays allow the SPI to be adapted to the interfaced peripherals and their speed and bus release time.

28.7.3.5 Peripheral Selection
The serial peripherals are selected through the assertion of the NPCS0 to NPCS3 signals. By default, all the
NPCS signals are high before and after each transfer.
Fixed Peripheral Select: SPI exchanges data with only one peripheral
Fixed Peripheral Select is activated by writing the PS bit to zero in SPI_MR (Mode Register). In this case, the
current peripheral is defined by the PCS field in SPI_MR and the PCS field in the SPI_TDR has no effect.
Variable Peripheral Select: Data can be exchanged with more than one peripheral without having to
reprogram the NPCS field in the SPI_MR register.
Variable Peripheral Select is activated by setting PS bit to one. The PCS field in SPI_TDR is used to select the
current peripheral. This means that the peripheral selection can be defined for each new data. The value to write in
the SPI_TDR register as the following format.
[xxxxxxx(7-bit) + LASTXFER(1-bit)(1)+ xxxx(4-bit) + PCS (4-bit) + DATA (8 to 16-bit)] with PCS equals to the chip
select to assert as defined in Section 28.8.4 (SPI Transmit Data Register) and LASTXFER bit at 0 or 1 depending
on CSAAT bit. CSAAT, LASTXFER and CSNAAT bit are discussed in the Peripheral Deselection in Section
28.7.3.11.
Note:
1.
Optional.
28.7.3.6 SPI Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC)
In both fixed and variable mode the Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC) can be used to reduce processor overhead.
The Fixed Peripheral Selection allows buffer transfers with a single peripheral. Using the PDC is an optimal
means, as the size of the data transfer between the memory and the SPI is either 8 bits or 16 bits. However,
changing the peripheral selection requires the Mode Register to be reprogrammed.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
435
The Variable Peripheral Selection allows buffer transfers with multiple peripherals without reprogramming the
Mode Register. Data written in SPI_TDR is 32 bits wide and defines the real data to be transmitted and the
peripheral it is destined to. Using the PDC in this mode requires 32-bit wide buffers, with the data in the LSBs and
the PCS and LASTXFER fields in the MSBs, however the SPI still controls the number of bits (8 to16) to be
transferred through MISO and MOSI lines with the chip select configuration registers. This is not the optimal
means in term of memory size for the buffers, but it provides a very effective means to exchange data with several
peripherals without any intervention of the processor.
28.7.3.7 Transfer Size
Depending on the data size to transmit, from 8 to 16 bits, the PDC manages automatically the type of pointer's size
it has to point to. The PDC will perform the following transfer size depending on the mode and number of bits per
data.
Fixed Mode:
8-bit Data:
Byte transfer,
PDC Pointer Address = Address + 1 byte,
PDC Counter = Counter - 1
8-bit to 16-bit Data:
2 bytes transfer. n-bit data transfer with don’t care data (MSB) filled with 0’s,
PDC Pointer Address = Address + 2 bytes,
PDC Counter = Counter - 1
Variable Mode:
In variable Mode, PDC Pointer Address = Address +4 bytes and PDC Counter = Counter - 1 for 8 to 16-bit transfer
size. When using the PDC, the TDRE and RDRF flags are handled by the PDC, thus the user’s application does
not have to check those bits. Only End of RX Buffer (ENDRX), End of TX Buffer (ENDTX), Buffer Full (RXBUFF),
TX Buffer Empty (TXBUFE) are significant. For further details about the Peripheral DMA Controller and user
interface, refer to the PDC section of the product datasheet.
28.7.3.8 SPI Direct Access Memory Controller (DMAC)
In both fixed and variable mode the Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC) can be used to reduce processor
overhead.
The Fixed Peripheral Selection allows buffer transfers with a single peripheral. Using the DMAC is an optimal
means, as the size of the data transfer between the memory and the SPI is either 8 bits or 16 bits. However,
changing the peripheral selection requires the Mode Register to be reprogrammed.
The Variable Peripheral Selection allows buffer transfers with multiple peripherals without reprogramming the
Mode Register. Data written in SPI_TDR is 32 bits wide and defines the real data to be transmitted and the
peripheral it is destined to. Using the DMAC in this mode requires 32-bit wide buffers, with the data in the LSBs
and the PCS and LASTXFER fields in the MSBs, however the SPI still controls the number of bits (8 to16) to be
transferred through MISO and MOSI lines with the chip select configuration registers. This is not the optimal
means in term of memory size for the buffers, but it provides a very effective means to exchange data with several
peripherals without any intervention of the processor.
28.7.3.9 Peripheral Chip Select Decoding
The user can program the SPI to operate with up to 15 peripherals by decoding the four Chip Select lines, NPCS0
to NPCS3 with 1 of up to 16 decoder/demultiplexer. This can be enabled by writing the PCSDEC bit at 1 in the
Mode Register (SPI_MR).
When operating without decoding, the SPI makes sure that in any case only one chip select line is activated, i.e.,
one NPCS line driven low at a time. If two bits are defined low in a PCS field, only the lowest numbered chip select
is driven low.
436
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
When operating with decoding, the SPI directly outputs the value defined by the PCS field on NPCS lines of either
the Mode Register or the Transmit Data Register (depending on PS).
As the SPI sets a default value of 0xF on the chip select lines (i.e. all chip select lines at 1) when not processing
any transfer, only 15 peripherals can be decoded.
The SPI has only four Chip Select Registers, not 15. As a result, when decoding is activated, each chip select
defines the characteristics of up to four peripherals. As an example, SPI_CRS0 defines the characteristics of the
externally decoded peripherals 0 to 3, corresponding to the PCS values 0x0 to 0x3. Thus, the user has to make
sure to connect compatible peripherals on the decoded chip select lines 0 to 3, 4 to 7, 8 to 11 and 12 to 14. Figure
28-11 below shows such an implementation.
If the CSAAT bit is used, with or without the PDC, the Mode Fault detection for NPCS0 line must be disabled. This
is not needed for all other chip select lines since Mode Fault Detection is only on NPCS0.
If the CSAAT bit is used, with or without the DMAC, the Mode Fault detection for NPCS0 line must be disabled.
This is not needed for all other chip select lines since Mode Fault Detection is only on NPCS0.

28.7.3.10 Peripheral Deselection Without PDC nor DMAC
During a transfer of more than one data on a Chip Select without the PDC nor DMAC, the SPI_TDR is loaded by
the processor, the flag TDRE rises as soon as the content of the SPI_TDR is transferred into the internal shift
register. When this flag is detected high, the SPI_TDR can be reloaded. If this reload by the processor occurs
before the end of the current transfer and if the next transfer is performed on the same chip select as the current
transfer, the Chip Select is not de-asserted between the two transfers. But depending on the application software
handling the SPI status register flags (by interrupt or polling method) or servicing other interrupts or other tasks,
the processor may not reload the SPI_TDR in time to keep the chip select active (low). A null Delay Between
Consecutive Transfer (DLYBCT) value in the SPI_CSR, will give even less time for the processor to reload the
SPI_TDR. With some SPI slave peripherals, requiring the chip select line to remain active (low) during a full set of
transfers might lead to communication errors.
To facilitate interfacing with such devices, the Chip Select Register [CSR0...CSR3] can be programmed with the
CSAAT bit (Chip Select Active After Transfer) at 1. This allows the chip select lines to remain in their current state
(low = active) until transfer to another chip select is required. Even if the SPI_TDR is not reloaded the chip select
will remain active. To have the chip select line to raise at the end of the transfer the Last Transfer Bit (LASTXFER)
in the SPI_MR must be set at 1 before writing the last data to transmit into the SPI_TDR.
28.7.3.11 Peripheral Deselection with PDC
When the Peripheral DMA Controller is used, the chip select line will remain low during the whole transfer since the
TDRE flag is managed by the PDC itself. The reloading of the SPI_TDR by the PDC is done as soon as TDRE flag
is set to one. In this case the use of CSAAT bit might not be needed. However, it may happen that when other PDC
channels connected to other peripherals are in use as well, the SPI PDC might be delayed by another (PDC with a
higher priority on the bus). Having PDC buffers in slower memories like flash memory or SDRAM compared to fast
internal SRAM, may lengthen the reload time of the SPI_TDR by the PDC as well. This means that the SPI_TDR
might not be reloaded in time to keep the chip select line low. In this case the chip select line may toggle between
data transfer and according to some SPI Slave devices, the communication might get lost. The use of the CSAAT
bit might be needed.
28.7.3.12 Peripheral Deselection with DMAC
When the Direct Memory Access Controller is used, the chip select line will remain low during the whole transfer
since the TDRE flag is managed by the DMAC itself. The reloading of the SPI_TDR by the DMAC is done as soon
as TDRE flag is set to one. In this case the use of CSAAT bit might not be needed. However, it may happen that
when other DMAC channels connected to other peripherals are in use as well, the SPI DMAC might be delayed by
another (DMAC with a higher priority on the bus). Having DMAC buffers in slower memories like flash memory or
SDRAM compared to fast internal SRAM, may lengthen the reload time of the SPI_TDR by the DMAC as well. This
means that the SPI_TDR might not be reloaded in time to keep the chip select line low. In this case the chip select
line may toggle between data transfer and according to some SPI Slave devices, the communication might get
lost. The use of the CSAAT bit might be needed.
Figure 28-12 shows different peripheral deselction cases and the effect of the CSAAT bit.

28.7.3.13 Mode Fault Detection
A mode fault is detected when the SPI is programmed in Master Mode and a low level is driven by an external
master on the NPCS0/NSS signal. In this case, multi-master configuration, NPCS0, MOSI, MISO and SPCK pins
must be configured in open drain (through the PIO controller). When a mode fault is detected, the MODF bit in the
SPI_SR is set until the SPI_SR is read and the SPI is automatically disabled until re-enabled by writing the SPIEN
bit in the SPI_CR (Control Register) at 1.
By default, the Mode Fault detection circuitry is enabled. The user can disable Mode Fault detection by setting the
MODFDIS bit in the SPI Mode Register (SPI_MR).
28.7.4 SPI Slave Mode
When operating in Slave Mode, the SPI processes data bits on the clock provided on the SPI clock pin (SPCK).
The SPI waits for NSS to go active before receiving the serial clock from an external master. When NSS falls, the
clock is validated on the serializer, which processes the number of bits defined by the BITS field of the Chip Select
Register 0 (SPI_CSR0). These bits are processed following a phase and a polarity defined respectively by the
NCPHA and CPOL bits of the SPI_CSR0. Note that BITS, CPOL and NCPHA of the other Chip Select Registers
have no effect when the SPI is programmed in Slave Mode.
The bits are shifted out on the MISO line and sampled on the MOSI line.
(For more information on the BITS field, see the note below the register bitmap in Section 28.8.9 “SPI Chip Select
Register” on page 452.)
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
439
When all the bits are processed, the received data is transferred in the Receive Data Register and the RDRF bit
rises. If the SPI_RDR (Receive Data Register) has not been read before new data is received, the Overrun Error
bit (OVRES) in SPI_SR is set. As long as this flag is set, data is loaded in SPI_RDR. The user has to read the
status register to clear the OVRES bit.
When a transfer starts, the data shifted out is the data present in the Shift Register. If no data has been written in
the Transmit Data Register (SPI_TDR), the last data received is transferred. If no data has been received since the
last reset, all bits are transmitted low, as the Shift Register resets at 0.
When a first data is written in SPI_TDR, it is transferred immediately in the Shift Register and the TDRE bit rises. If
new data is written, it remains in SPI_TDR until a transfer occurs, i.e., NSS falls and there is a valid clock on the
SPCK pin. When the transfer occurs, the last data written in SPI_TDR is transferred in the Shift Register and the
TDRE bit rises. This enables frequent updates of critical variables with single transfers.
Then, a new data is loaded in the Shift Register from the Transmit Data Register. In case no character is ready to
be transmitted, i.e., no character has been written in SPI_TDR since the last load from SPI_TDR to the Shift
Register, the Shift Register is not modified and the last received character is retransmitted.

• SCBR: Serial Clock Baud Rate
In Master Mode, the SPI Interface uses a modulus counter to derive the SPCK baud rate from the Master Clock MCK. The
Baud rate is selected by writing a value from 1 to 255 in the SCBR field. The following equations determine the SPCK baud
rate:
MCK
SPCK Baudrate = --------------SCBR
Programming the SCBR field at 0 is forbidden. Triggering a transfer while SCBR is at 0 can lead to unpredictable results.
At reset, SCBR is 0 and the user has to program it at a valid value before performing the first transfer.
• DLYBS: Delay Before SPCK
This field defines the delay from NPCS valid to the first valid SPCK transition.
When DLYBS equals zero, the NPCS valid to SPCK transition is 1/2 the SPCK clock period.
Otherwise, the following equations determine the delay:
DLYBS
Delay Before SPCK = ------------------MCK
• DLYBCT: Delay Between Consecutive Transfers
This field defines the delay between two consecutive transfers with the same peripheral without removing the chip select.
The delay is always inserted after each transfer and before removing the chip select if needed.
When DLYBCT equals zero, no delay between consecutive transfers is inserted and the clock keeps its duty cycle over the
character transfers.
Otherwise, the following equation determines the delay:
32 × DLYBCT
Delay Between Consecutive Transfers = -----------------------------------MCK

Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO)
29.1
Description
The Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) manages up to 32 fully programmable input/output lines. Each I/O line
may be dedicated as a general-purpose I/O or be assigned to a function of an embedded peripheral. This assures
effective optimization of the pins of a product.
Each I/O line is associated with a bit number in all of the 32-bit registers of the 32-bit wide User Interface.
Each I/O line of the PIO Controller features:
An input change interrupt enabling level change detection on any I/O line.
A glitch filter providing rejection of pulses lower than one-half of clock cycle.
Multi-drive capability similar to an open drain I/O line.
Control of the pull-up of the I/O line.
Input visibility and output control.
The PIO Controller also features a synchronous output providing up to 32 bits of data output in a single write
operation.

Product Dependencies
29.3.1 Pin Multiplexing
Each pin is configurable, according to product definition as either a general-purpose I/O line only, or as an I/O line
multiplexed with one or two peripheral I/Os. As the multiplexing is hardware-defined and thus product-dependent,
the hardware designer and programmer must carefully determine the configuration of the PIO controllers required
by their application. When an I/O line is general-purpose only, i.e., not multiplexed with any peripheral I/O,
programming of the PIO Controller regarding the assignment to a peripheral has no effect and only the PIO
Controller can control how the pin is driven by the product.
29.3.2 External Interrupt Lines
The interrupt signals FIQ and IRQ0 to IRQn are most generally multiplexed through the PIO Controllers. However,
it is not necessary to assign the I/O line to the interrupt function as the PIO Controller has no effect on inputs and
the interrupt lines (FIQ or IRQs) are used only as inputs.
29.3.3 Power Management
The Power Management Controller controls the PIO Controller clock in order to save power. Writing any of the
registers of the user interface does not require the PIO Controller clock to be enabled. This means that the
configuration of the I/O lines does not require the PIO Controller clock to be enabled.
However, when the clock is disabled, not all of the features of the PIO Controller are available. Note that the Input
Change Interrupt and the read of the pin level require the clock to be validated.
After a hardware reset, the PIO clock is disabled by default.
The user must configure the Power Management Controller before any access to the input line information.
29.3.4 Interrupt Generation
For interrupt handling, the PIO Controllers are considered as user peripherals. This means that the PIO Controller
interrupt lines are connected among the interrupt sources 2 to 31. Refer to the PIO Controller peripheral identifier
in the product description to identify the interrupt sources dedicated to the PIO Controllers.
The PIO Controller interrupt can be generated only if the PIO Controller clock is enabled.

29.4.1 Pull-up Resistor Control
Each I/O line is designed with an embedded pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor can be enabled or disabled by
writing respectively PIO_PUER (Pull-up Enable Register) and PIO_PUDR (Pull-up Disable Resistor). Writing in
these registers results in setting or clearing the corresponding bit in PIO_PUSR (Pull-up Status Register). Reading
a 1 in PIO_PUSR means the pull-up is disabled and reading a 0 means the pull-up is enabled.
Control of the pull-up resistor is possible regardless of the configuration of the I/O line.
After reset, all of the pull-ups are enabled, i.e., PIO_PUSR resets at the value 0x0.
29.4.2 I/O Line or Peripheral Function Selection
When a pin is multiplexed with one or two peripheral functions, the selection is controlled with the registers
PIO_PER (PIO Enable Register) and PIO_PDR (PIO Disable Register). The register PIO_PSR (PIO Status
Register) is the result of the set and clear registers and indicates whether the pin is controlled by the
corresponding peripheral or by the PIO Controller. A value of 0 indicates that the pin is controlled by the
corresponding on-chip peripheral selected in the PIO_ABSR (AB Select Status Register). A value of 1 indicates
the pin is controlled by the PIO controller.
If a pin is used as a general purpose I/O line (not multiplexed with an on-chip peripheral), PIO_PER and PIO_PDR
have no effect and PIO_PSR returns 1 for the corresponding bit.
After reset, most generally, the I/O lines are controlled by the PIO controller, i.e., PIO_PSR resets at 1. However,
in some events, it is important that PIO lines are controlled by the peripheral (as in the case of memory chip select
lines that must be driven inactive after reset or for address lines that must be driven low for booting out of an
external memory). Thus, the reset value of PIO_PSR is defined at the product level, depending on the multiplexing
of the device.
29.4.3 Peripheral A or B Selection
The PIO Controller provides multiplexing of up to two peripheral functions on a single pin. The selection is
performed by writing PIO_ASR (A Select Register) and PIO_BSR (Select B Register). PIO_ABSR (AB Select
Status Register) indicates which peripheral line is currently selected. For each pin, the corresponding bit at level 0
means peripheral A is selected whereas the corresponding bit at level 1 indicates that peripheral B is selected.
Note that multiplexing of peripheral lines A and B only affects the output line. The peripheral input lines are always
connected to the pin input.
After reset, PIO_ABSR is 0, thus indicating that all the PIO lines are configured on peripheral A. However,
peripheral A generally does not drive the pin as the PIO Controller resets in I/O line mode.
Writing in PIO_ASR and PIO_BSR manages PIO_ABSR regardless of the configuration of the pin. However,
assignment of a pin to a peripheral function requires a write in the corresponding peripheral selection register
(PIO_ASR or PIO_BSR) in addition to a write in PIO_PDR.
29.4.4 Output Control
When the I/0 line is assigned to a peripheral function, i.e., the corresponding bit in PIO_PSR is at 0, the drive of the
I/O line is controlled by the peripheral. Peripheral A or B, depending on the value in PIO_ABSR, determines
whether the pin is driven or not.
When the I/O line is controlled by the PIO controller, the pin can be configured to be driven. This is done by writing
PIO_OER (Output Enable Register) and PIO_ODR (Output Disable Register). The results of these write
operations are detected in PIO_OSR (Output Status Register). When a bit in this register is at 0, the corresponding
I/O line is used as an input only. When the bit is at 1, the corresponding I/O line is driven by the PIO controller.
The level driven on an I/O line can be determined by writing in PIO_SODR (Set Output Data Register) and
PIO_CODR (Clear Output Data Register). These write operations respectively set and clear PIO_ODSR (Output
Data Status Register), which represents the data driven on the I/O lines. Writing in PIO_OER and PIO_ODR
458
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
manages PIO_OSR whether the pin is configured to be controlled by the PIO controller or assigned to a peripheral
function. This enables configuration of the I/O line prior to setting it to be managed by the PIO Controller.
Similarly, writing in PIO_SODR and PIO_CODR effects PIO_ODSR. This is important as it defines the first level
driven on the I/O line.
29.4.5 Synchronous Data Output
Controlling all parallel busses using several PIOs requires two successive write operations in the PIO_SODR and
PIO_CODR registers. This may lead to unexpected transient values. The PIO controller offers a direct control of
PIO outputs by single write access to PIO_ODSR (Output Data Status Register). Only bits unmasked by
PIO_OWSR (Output Write Status Register) are written. The mask bits in the PIO_OWSR are set by writing to
PIO_OWER (Output Write Enable Register) and cleared by writing to PIO_OWDR (Output Write Disable Register).
After reset, the synchronous data output is disabled on all the I/O lines as PIO_OWSR resets at 0x0.
29.4.6 Multi Drive Control (Open Drain)
Each I/O can be independently programmed in Open Drain by using the Multi Drive feature. This feature permits
several drivers to be connected on the I/O line which is driven low only by each device. An external pull-up resistor
(or enabling of the internal one) is generally required to guarantee a high level on the line.
The Multi Drive feature is controlled by PIO_MDER (Multi-driver Enable Register) and PIO_MDDR (Multi-driver
Disable Register). The Multi Drive can be selected whether the I/O line is controlled by the PIO controller or
assigned to a peripheral function. PIO_MDSR (Multi-driver Status Register) indicates the pins that are configured
to support external drivers.
After reset, the Multi Drive feature is disabled on all pins, i.e., PIO_MDSR resets at value 0x0.
29.4.7 Output Line Timings
Figure 29-4 shows how the outputs are driven either by writing PIO_SODR or PIO_CODR, or by directly writing
PIO_ODSR. This last case is valid only if the corresponding bit in PIO_OWSR is set. Figure 29-4 also shows when
the feedback in PIO_PDSR is available.

29.4.8 Inputs
The level on each I/O line can be read through PIO_PDSR (Pin Data Status Register). This register indicates the
level of the I/O lines regardless of their configuration, whether uniquely as an input or driven by the PIO controller
or driven by a peripheral.
Reading the I/O line levels requires the clock of the PIO controller to be enabled, otherwise PIO_PDSR reads the
levels present on the I/O line at the time the clock was disabled.
29.4.9 Input Glitch Filtering
Optional input glitch filters are independently programmable on each I/O line. When the glitch filter is enabled, a
glitch with a duration of less than 1/2 Master Clock (MCK) cycle is automatically rejected, while a pulse with a
duration of 1 Master Clock cycle or more is accepted. For pulse durations between 1/2 Master Clock cycle and 1
Master Clock cycle the pulse may or may not be taken into account, depending on the precise timing of its
occurrence. Thus for a pulse to be visible it must exceed 1 Master Clock cycle, whereas for a glitch to be reliably
filtered out, its duration must not exceed 1/2 Master Clock cycle. The filter introduces one Master Clock cycle
latency if the pin level change occurs before a rising edge. However, this latency does not appear if the pin level
change occurs before a falling edge. This is illustrated in Figure 29-5.
The glitch filters are controlled by the register set; PIO_IFER (Input Filter Enable Register), PIO_IFDR (Input Filter
Disable Register) and PIO_IFSR (Input Filter Status Register). Writing PIO_IFER and PIO_IFDR respectively sets
and clears bits in PIO_IFSR. This last register enables the glitch filter on the I/O lines.
When the glitch filter is enabled, it does not modify the behavior of the inputs on the peripherals. It acts only on the
value read in PIO_PDSR and on the input change interrupt detection. The glitch filters require that the PIO
Controller clock is enabled.

29.4.10 Input Change Interrupt
The PIO Controller can be programmed to generate an interrupt when it detects an input change on an I/O line.
The Input Change Interrupt is controlled by writing PIO_IER (Interrupt Enable Register) and PIO_IDR (Interrupt
Disable Register), which respectively enable and disable the input change interrupt by setting and clearing the
corresponding bit in PIO_IMR (Interrupt Mask Register). As Input change detection is possible only by comparing
two successive samplings of the input of the I/O line, the PIO Controller clock must be enabled. The Input Change
Interrupt is available, regardless of the configuration of the I/O line, i.e., configured as an input only, controlled by
the PIO Controller or assigned to a peripheral function.
When an input change is detected on an I/O line, the corresponding bit in PIO_ISR (Interrupt Status Register) is
set. If the corresponding bit in PIO_IMR is set, the PIO Controller interrupt line is asserted. The interrupt signals of
the thirty-two channels are ORed-wired together to generate a single interrupt signal to the Advanced Interrupt
Controller.

When the software reads PIO_ISR, all the interrupts are automatically cleared. This signifies that all the interrupts
that are pending when PIO_ISR is read must be handled.

29.4.11 Write Protected Registers
To prevent any single software error that may corrupt the PIO behavior, the registers listed below can be writeprotected by setting the WPEN bit in the PIO Write Protect Mode Register (PIO_WPMR).
If a write access in a write-protected register is detected, then the WPVS flag in the PIO Write Protect Status
Register (PIO_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates in which register the write access has been
attempted.
The WPVS flag is automatically reset after reading the PIO Write Protect Status Register (PIO_WPSR).

29.4.12 Programmable I/O Delays
The PIO interface consists of a series of signals driven by peripherals or directly by software. The simultaneous
switching outputs on these busses may lead to a peak of current in the internal and external power supply lines.
In order to reduce the peak of current in such cases, additional propagation delays can be adjusted independently
for pad buffers by means of configuration registers, PIO_DELAY.
For each I/O, the additional programmable delays range from 0 to 4 ns (Worst Case PVT). The delay can differ
between IOs supporting this feature. The delay can be modified according to programming for each I/O. The
minimum additional delay that can be programmed on a PAD supporting this feature is 1/16 of the maximum
programmable delay.
Only PADs PC[12], PC[7:2], PA[30:23] and PA[9:2] can be configured.
When programming 0x0 in fields, no delay is added (reset value) and the propagation delay of the pad buffers is
the inherent delay of the pad buffer. When programming 0xF in field, the propagation delay of the corresponding
pad is maximal.

I/O Lines Programming Example
The programing example as shown in Table 29-1 below is used to define the following configuration.
4-bit output port on I/O lines 0 to 3, (should be written in a single write operation), open-drain, with pull-up
resistor
Four output signals on I/O lines 4 to 7 (to drive LEDs for example), driven high and low, no pull-up resistor
Four input signals on I/O lines 8 to 11 (to read push-button states for example), with pull-up resistors, glitch
filters and input change interrupts
Four input signals on I/O line 12 to 15 to read an external device status (polled, thus no input change
interrupt), no pull-up resistor, no glitch filter
I/O lines 16 to 19 assigned to peripheral A functions with pull-up resistor
I/O lines 20 to 23 assigned to peripheral B functions, no pull-up resistor
I/O line 24 to 27 assigned to peripheral A with Input Change Interrupt and pull-up resistor

Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) User Interface
Each I/O line controlled by the PIO Controller is associated with a bit in each of the PIO Controller User Interface
registers. Each register is 32 bits wide. If a parallel I/O line is not defined, writing to the corresponding bits has no
effect. Undefined bits read zero. If the I/O line is not multiplexed with any peripheral, the I/O line is controlled by the
PIO Controller and PIO_PSR returns 1 systematically.

Notes: 1. Reset value of PIO_PSR depends on the product implementation.
2. PIO_ODSR is Read-only or Read/Write depending on PIO_OWSR I/O lines.
3. Reset value of PIO_PDSR depends on the level of the I/O lines. Reading the I/O line levels requires the clock of the PIO
Controller to be enabled, otherwise PIO_PDSR reads the levels present on the I/O line at the time the clock was disabled.
4. PIO_ISR is reset at 0x0. However, the first read of the register may read a different value as input changes may have
occurred.
5. Only this set of registers clears the status by writing 1 in the first register and sets the status by writing 1 in the second
register.

Two-wire Interface (TWI)
30.1
Description
The Atmel Two-wire Interface (TWI) interconnects components on a unique two-wire bus, made up of one clock
line and one data line with speeds of up to 400 Kbits per second, based on a byte-oriented transfer format. It can
be used with any Atmel Two-wire Interface bus Serial EEPROM and I²C compatible device such as Real-tme
Clock (RTC), Dot Matrix/Graphic LCD Controllers and Temperature Sensor, to name but a few. The TWI is
programmable as a master or a slave with sequential or single-byte access. Multiple master capability is
supported.
Arbitration of the bus is performed internally and puts the TWI in slave mode automatically if the bus arbitration is
lost.
A configurable baud rate generator permits the output data rate to be adapted to a wide range of core clock
frequencies.
Below, Table 30-1 lists the compatibility level of the Atmel Two-wire Interface in Master Mode and a full I2C
compatible device.

I/O Lines
Type
Both TWD and TWCK are bidirectional lines, connected to a positive supply voltage via a current source or pull-up
resistor (see Figure 30-2). When the bus is free, both lines are high. The output stages of devices connected to the
bus must have an open-drain or open-collector to perform the wired-AND function.
TWD and TWCK pins may be multiplexed with PIO lines. To enable the TWI, the programmer must perform the
following step:
Program the PIO controller to dedicate TWD and TWCK as peripheral lines.
The user must not program TWD and TWCK as open-drain. It is already done by the hardware.

Transfer Format
The data put on the TWD line must be 8 bits long. Data is transferred MSB first; each byte must be followed by an
acknowledgement. The number of bytes per transfer is unlimited (see Figure 30-4).
Each transfer begins with a START condition and terminates with a STOP condition (see Figure 30-3).
A high-to-low transition on the TWD line while TWCK is high defines the START condition.
A low-to-high transition on the TWD line while TWCK is high defines a STOP condition.

30.7.3.3 Programming Master Mode
The following registers have to be programmed before entering Master mode:
1.
DADR (+ IADRSZ + IADR if a 10 bit device is addressed): The device address is used to access slave
devices in read or write mode.
2.
CKDIV + CHDIV + CLDIV: Clock Waveform.
3.
SVDIS: Disable the slave mode.
4.
MSEN: Enable the master mode.
30.7.3.4 Master Transmitter Mode
After the master initiates a Start condition when writing into the Transmit Holding Register, TWI_THR, it sends a 7bit slave address, configured in the Master Mode register (DADR in TWI_MMR), to notify the slave device. The bit
following the slave address indicates the transfer direction, 0 in this case (MREAD = 0 in TWI_MMR).
The TWI transfers require the slave to acknowledge each received byte. During the acknowledge clock pulse (9th
pulse), the master releases the data line (HIGH), enabling the slave to pull it down in order to generate the
acknowledge. The master polls the data line during this clock pulse and sets the Not Acknowledge bit (NACK) in
the status register if the slave does not acknowledge the byte. As with the other status bits, an interrupt can be
generated if enabled in the interrupt enable register (TWI_IER). If the slave acknowledges the byte, the data
written in the TWI_THR, is then shifted in the internal shifter and transferred. When an acknowledge is detected,
the TXRDY bit is set until a new write in the TWI_THR.
While no new data is written in the TWI_THR, the Serial Clock Line is tied low. When new data is written in the
TWI_THR, the SCL is released and the data is sent. To generate a STOP event, the STOP command must be
performed by writing in the STOP field of TWI_CR.
After a Master Write transfer, the Serial Clock line is stretched (tied low) while no new data is written in the
TWI_THR or until a STOP command is performed.
See Figure 30-6, Figure 30-7, and Figure 30-8.

30.7.3.5 Master Receiver Mode
The read sequence begins by setting the START bit. After the start condition has been sent, the master sends a 7bit slave address to notify the slave device. The bit following the slave address indicates the transfer direction, 1 in
this case (MREAD = 1 in TWI_MMR). During the acknowledge clock pulse (9th pulse), the master releases the
data line (HIGH), enabling the slave to pull it down in order to generate the acknowledge. The master polls the
data line during this clock pulse and sets the NACK bit in the status register if the slave does not acknowledge the
byte.
If an acknowledge is received, the master is then ready to receive data from the slave. After data has been
received, the master sends an acknowledge condition to notify the slave that the data has been received except
for the last data, after the stop condition. See Figure 30-9. When the RXRDY bit is set in the status register, a
character has been received in the receive-holding register (TWI_RHR). The RXRDY bit is reset when reading the
TWI_RHR.
When a single data byte read is performed, with or without internal address (IADR), the START and STOP bits
must be set at the same time. See Figure 30-9. When a multiple data byte read is performed, with or without
internal address (IADR), the STOP bit must be set after the next-to-last data received. See Figure 30-10. For
Internal Address usage see Section 30.7.3.6.

30.7.3.6 Internal Address
The TWI interface can perform various transfer formats: Transfers with 7-bit slave address devices and 10-bit
slave address devices.
7-bit Slave Addressing
When Addressing 7-bit slave devices, the internal address bytes are used to perform random address (read or
write) accesses to reach one or more data bytes, within a memory page location in a serial memory, for example.
When performing read operations with an internal address, the TWI performs a write operation to set the internal
address into the slave device, and then switch to Master Receiver mode. Note that the second start condition (after
sending the IADR) is sometimes called “repeated start” (Sr) in I2C fully-compatible devices. See Figure 30-12. See
Figure 30-11 and Figure 30-13 for Master Write operation with internal address.
The three internal address bytes are configurable through the Master Mode register (TWI_MMR).
If the slave device supports only a 7-bit address, i.e. no internal address, IADRSZ must be set to 0.

10-bit Slave Addressing
For a slave address higher than 7 bits, the user must configure the address size (IADRSZ) and set the other slave
address bits in the internal address register (TWI_IADR). The two remaining Internal address bytes, IADR[15:8]
and IADR[23:16] can be used the same as in 7-bit Slave Addressing.
Example: Address a 10-bit device (10-bit device address is b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8 b9 b10)
1.
Program IADRSZ = 1,
2.
Program DADR with 1 1 1 1 0 b1 b2 (b1 is the MSB of the 10-bit address, b2, etc.)
3.
Program TWI_IADR with b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8 b9 b10 (b10 is the LSB of the 10-bit address)
Figure 30-13 below shows a byte write to an Atmel AT24LC512 EEPROM. This demonstrates the use of internal
addresses to access the device.

30.7.4
Multi- master Mode
30.7.4.1 Definition
More than one master may handle the bus at the same time without data corruption by using arbitration.
Arbitration starts as soon as two or more masters place information on the bus at the same time, and stops
(arbitration is lost) for the master that intends to send a logical one while the other master sends a logical zero.
As soon as arbitration is lost by a master, it stops sending data and listens to the bus in order to detect a stop.
When the stop is detected, the master who has lost arbitration may put its data on the bus by respecting
arbitration.
Arbitration is illustrated in Figure 30-22 on page 514.
30.7.4.2 Different Multi-master Modes
Two multi-master modes may be distinguished:
1.
TWI is considered as a Master only and will never be addressed.
2.
TWI may be either a Master or a Slave and may be addressed.
Note:
In both Multi-master modes arbitration is supported.
TWI as Master Only
In this mode, TWI is considered as a Master only (MSEN is always at one) and must be driven like a Master with
the ARBLST (ARBitration Lost) flag in addition.
If arbitration is lost (ARBLST = 1), the programmer must reinitiate the data transfer.
If the user starts a transfer (ex.: DADR + START + W + Write in THR) and if the bus is busy, the TWI automatically
waits for a STOP condition on the bus to initiate the transfer (see Figure 30-21 on page 514).
Note:
The state of the bus (busy or free) is not indicated in the user interface.
TWI as Master or Slave
The automatic reversal from Master to Slave is not supported in case of a lost arbitration.
Then, in the case where TWI may be either a Master or a Slave, the programmer must manage the pseudo Multimaster mode described in the steps below.
1.
Program TWI in Slave mode (SADR + MSDIS + SVEN) and perform Slave Access (if TWI is addressed).
2.
If TWI has to be set in Master mode, wait until TXCOMP flag is at 1.
3.
Program Master mode (DADR + SVDIS + MSEN) and start the transfer (ex: START + Write in THR).
4.
As soon as the Master mode is enabled, TWI scans the bus in order to detect if it is busy or free. When the
bus is considered as free, TWI initiates the transfer.
5.
As soon as the transfer is initiated and until a STOP condition is sent, the arbitration becomes relevant and
the user must monitor the ARBLST flag.
6.
If the arbitration is lost (ARBLST is set to 1), the user must program the TWI in Slave mode in the case
where the Master that won the arbitration wanted to access the TWI.
7.
If TWI has to be set in Slave mode, wait until TXCOMP flag is at 1 and then program the Slave mode.
Note:
In the case where the arbitration is lost and TWI is addressed, TWI will not acknowledge even if it is programmed in
Slave mode as soon as ARBLST is set to 1. Then, the Master must repeat SADR.

30.7.5
Slave Mode
30.7.5.1 Definition
The Slave Mode is defined as a mode where the device receives the clock and the address from another device
called the master.
In this mode, the device never initiates and never completes the transmission (START, REPEATED_START and
STOP conditions are always provided by the master).

30.7.5.3 Programming Slave Mode
The following fields must be programmed before entering Slave mode:
1.
SADR (TWI_SMR): The slave device address is used in order to be accessed by master devices in read or
write mode.
2.
MSDIS (TWI_CR): Disable the master mode.
3.
SVEN (TWI_CR): Enable the slave mode.
As the device receives the clock, values written in TWI_CWGR are not taken into account.
30.7.5.4 Receiving Data
After a Start or Repeated Start condition is detected and if the address sent by the Master matches with the Slave
address programmed in the SADR (Slave ADdress) field, SVACC (Slave ACCess) flag is set and SVREAD (Slave
READ) indicates the direction of the transfer.
SVACC remains high until a STOP condition or a repeated START is detected. When such a condition is detected,
EOSACC (End Of Slave ACCess) flag is set.
Read Sequence
In the case of a Read sequence (SVREAD is high), TWI transfers data written in the TWI_THR (TWI Transmit
Holding Register) until a STOP condition or a REPEATED_START + an address different from SADR is detected.
Note that at the end of the read sequence TXCOMP (Transmission Complete) flag is set and SVACC reset.
As soon as data is written in the TWI_THR, TXRDY (Transmit Holding Register Ready) flag is reset, and it is set
when the shift register is empty and the sent data acknowledged or not. If the data is not acknowledged, the NACK
flag is set.
Note that a STOP or a repeated START always follows a NACK.
See Figure 30-25 on page 517.
516
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
Write Sequence
In the case of a Write sequence (SVREAD is low), the RXRDY (Receive Holding Register Ready) flag is set as
soon as a character has been received in the TWI_RHR (TWI Receive Holding Register). RXRDY is reset when
reading the TWI_RHR.
TWI continues receiving data until a STOP condition or a REPEATED_START + an address different from SADR
is detected. Note that at the end of the write sequence TXCOMP flag is set and SVACC reset.
See Figure 30-26 on page 518.
Clock Synchronization Sequence
In the case where TWI_THR or TWI_RHR is not written/read in time, TWI performs a clock synchronization.
Clock stretching information is given by the SCLWS (Clock Wait state) bit.
See Figure 30-28 on page 519 and Figure 30-29 on page 520.
General Call
In the case where a GENERAL CALL is performed, GACC (General Call ACCess) flag is set.
After GACC is set, it is up to the programmer to interpret the meaning of the GENERAL CALL and to decode the
new address programming sequence.
See Figure 30-27 on page 518.
30.7.5.5 Data Transfer
Read Operation
The read mode is defined as a data requirement from the master.
After a START or a REPEATED START condition is detected, the decoding of the address starts. If the slave
address (SADR) is decoded, SVACC is set and SVREAD indicates the direction of the transfer.
Until a STOP or REPEATED START condition is detected, TWI continues sending data loaded in the TWI_THR.
If a STOP condition or a REPEATED START + an address different from SADR is detected, SVACC is reset.
Figure 30-25 describes the write operation.

Write Operation
The write mode is defined as a data transmission from the master.
After a START or a REPEATED START, the decoding of the address starts. If the slave address is decoded,
SVACC is set and SVREAD indicates the direction of the transfer (SVREAD is low in this case).
Until a STOP or REPEATED START condition is detected, TWI stores the received data in the TWI_RHR.
If a STOP condition or a REPEATED START + an address different from SADR is detected, SVACC is reset.

2. RXRDY is set when data has been transmitted from the shift register to the TWI_RHR and reset when this data is read.
General Call
The general call is performed in order to change the address of the slave.
If a GENERAL CALL is detected, GACC is set.
After the detection of General Call, it is up to the programmer to decode the commands which come afterwards.
In case of a WRITE command, the programmer has to decode the programming sequence and program a new
SADR if the programming sequence matches.
Figure 30-27 describes the General Call access.

Note:
This method allows the user to create an own programming sequence by choosing the programming bytes and the

Clock Synchronization
In both read and write modes, it may happen that TWI_THR/TWI_RHR buffer is not filled /emptied before the
emission/reception of a new character. In this case, to avoid sending/receiving undesired data, a clock stretching
mechanism is implemented.

Clock Synchronization in Read Mode
The clock is tied low if the shift register is empty and if a STOP or REPEATED START condition was not detected.
It is tied low until the shift register is loaded.

• START: Send a START Condition
0: No effect.
1: A frame beginning with a START bit is transmitted according to the features defined in the mode register.
This action is necessary when the TWI peripheral wants to read data from a slave. When configured in Master Mode with a
write operation, a frame is sent as soon as the user writes a character in the Transmit Holding Register (TWI_THR).
• STOP: Send a STOP Condition
0: No effect.
1: STOP Condition is sent just after completing the current byte transmission in master read mode.
– In single data byte master read, the START and STOP must both be set.
– In multiple data bytes master read, the STOP must be set after the last data received but one.
– In master read mode, if a NACK bit is received, the STOP is automatically performed.
– In master data write operation, a STOP condition will be sent after the transmission of the current data is
finished.
• MSEN: TWI Master Mode Enabled
0: No effect.
1: If MSDIS = 0, the master mode is enabled.
Note: Switching from Slave to Master mode is only permitted when TXCOMP = 1.
• MSDIS: TWI Master Mode Disabled
0: No effect.
1: The master mode is disabled, all pending data is transmitted. The shifter and holding characters (if it contains data) are
transmitted in case of write operation. In read operation, the character being transferred must be completely received
before disabling.

1: When both holding and shifter registers are empty and STOP condition has been sent.
TXCOMP behavior in Master mode can be seen in Figure 30-8 on page 503 and in Figure 30-10 on page 504.
TXCOMP used in Slave mode:
0: As soon as a Start is detected.
1: After a Stop or a Repeated Start + an address different from SADR is detected.
TXCOMP behavior in Slave mode can be seen in Figure 30-28 on page 519, Figure 30-29 on page 520, Figure 30-30 on
page 520 and Figure 30-31 on page 521.
• RXRDY: Receive Holding Register Ready (automatically set / reset)
0: No character has been received since the last TWI_RHR read operation.
1: A byte has been received in the TWI_RHR since the last read.
RXRDY behavior in Master mode can be seen in Figure 30-10 on page 504.
RXRDY behavior in Slave mode can be seen in Figure 30-26 on page 518, Figure 30-29 on page 520, Figure 30-30 on
page 520 and Figure 30-31 on page 521.
• TXRDY: Transmit Holding Register Ready (automatically set / reset)
TXRDY used in Master mode:
0: The transmit holding register has not been transferred into shift register. Set to 0 when writing into TWI_THR.
1: As soon as a data byte is transferred from TWI_THR to internal shifter or if a NACK error is detected, TXRDY is set at
the same time as TXCOMP and NACK. TXRDY is also set when MSEN is set (enable TWI).
TXRDY behavior in Master mode can be seen in Figure 30-8 on page 503.
TXRDY used in Slave mode:
0: As soon as data is written in the TWI_THR, until this data has been transmitted and acknowledged (ACK or NACK).
1: It indicates that the TWI_THR is empty and that data has been transmitted and acknowledged.

If TXRDY is high and if a NACK has been detected, the transmission will be stopped. Thus when TRDY = NACK = 1, the
programmer must not fill TWI_THR to avoid losing it.
TXRDY behavior in Slave mode can be seen in Figure 30-25 on page 517, Figure 30-28 on page 519, Figure 30-30 on
page 520 and Figure 30-31 on page 521.
• SVREAD: Slave Read (automatically set / reset)
This bit is only used in Slave mode. When SVACC is low (no Slave access has been detected) SVREAD is irrelevant.
0: Indicates that a write access is performed by a Master.
1: Indicates that a read access is performed by a Master.
SVREAD behavior can be seen in Figure 30-25 on page 517, Figure 30-26 on page 518, Figure 30-30 on page 520 and
Figure 30-31 on page 521.
• SVACC: Slave Access (automatically set / reset)
This bit is only used in Slave mode.
0: TWI is not addressed. SVACC is automatically cleared after a NACK or a STOP condition is detected.
1: Indicates that the address decoding sequence has matched (A Master has sent SADR). SVACC remains high until a
NACK or a STOP condition is detected.
SVACC behavior can be seen in Figure 30-25 on page 517, Figure 30-26 on page 518, Figure 30-30 on page 520 and Figure 30-31 on page 521.
• GACC: General Call Access (clear on read)
This bit is only used in Slave mode.
0: No General Call has been detected.
1: A General Call has been detected. After the detection of General Call, if need be, the programmer may acknowledge
this access and decode the following bytes and respond according to the value of the bytes.
GACC behavior can be seen in Figure 30-27 on page 518.
• OVRE: Overrun Error (clear on read)
This bit is only used in Master mode.
0: TWI_RHR has not been loaded while RXRDY was set
1: TWI_RHR has been loaded while RXRDY was set. Reset by read in TWI_SR when TXCOMP is set.
• NACK: Not Acknowledged (clear on read)
NACK used in Master mode:
0: Each data byte has been correctly received by the far-end side TWI slave component.
1: A data byte has not been acknowledged by the slave component. Set at the same time as TXCOMP.
NACK used in Slave Read mode:
0: Each data byte has been correctly received by the Master.
1: In read mode, a data byte has not been acknowledged by the Master. When NACK is set the programmer must not fill
TWI_THR even if TXRDY is set, because it means that the Master will stop the data transfer or re initiate it.
Note that in Slave Write mode all data are acknowledged by the TWI.

Timer Counter (TC)
31.1
Description
The Timer Counter (TC) includes three identical 16-bit Timer Counter channels.
Each channel can be independently programmed to perform a wide range of functions including frequency
measurement, event counting, interval measurement, pulse generation, delay timing and pulse width modulation.
Each channel has three external clock inputs, five internal clock inputs and two multi-purpose input/output signals
which can be configured by the user. Each channel drives an internal interrupt signal which can be programmed to
generate processor interrupts.
The Timer Counter block has two global registers which act upon all three TC channels.
The Block Control Register allows the three channels to be started simultaneously with the same instruction.
The Block Mode Register defines the external clock inputs for each channel, allowing them to be chained.
Table 31-1 gives the assignment of the device Timer Counter clock inputs common to Timer Counter 0 to 2.

31.5.2 Power Management
The TC is clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first configure the
PMC to enable the Timer Counter clock.
31.5.3 Interrupt
The TC has an interrupt line connected to the Interrupt Controller (IC). Handling the TC interrupt requires
programming the IC before configuring the TC.

Functional Description
31.6.1 TC Description
The three channels of the Timer Counter are independent and identical in operation. The registers for channel
programming are listed in Table 31-5 on page 553.
31.6.2 16-bit Counter
Each channel is organized around a 16-bit counter. The value of the counter is incremented at each positive edge
of the selected clock. When the counter has reached the value 0xFFFF and passes to 0x0000, an overflow occurs
and the COVFS bit in TC_SR (Status Register) is set.
The current value of the counter is accessible in real time by reading the Counter Value Register, TC_CV. The
counter can be reset by a trigger. In this case, the counter value passes to 0x0000 on the next valid edge of the
selected clock.
31.6.3 Clock Selection
At block level, input clock signals of each channel can either be connected to the external inputs TCLK0, TCLK1 or
TCLK2, or be connected to the internal I/O signals TIOA0, TIOA1 or TIOA2 for chaining by programming the
TC_BMR (Block Mode). See Figure 31-2 ”Clock Chaining Selection”.
Each channel can independently select an internal or external clock source for its counter:
Internal clock signals: TIMER_CLOCK1, TIMER_CLOCK2, TIMER_CLOCK3, TIMER_CLOCK4,
TIMER_CLOCK5
External clock signals: XC0, XC1 or XC2
This selection is made by the TCCLKS bits in the TC Channel Mode Register.
The selected clock can be inverted with the CLKI bit in TC_CMR. This allows counting on the opposite edges of
the clock.
The burst function allows the clock to be validated when an external signal is high. The BURST parameter in the
Mode Register defines this signal (none, XC0, XC1, XC2). See Figure 31-3 ”Clock Selection”
Note:
In all cases, if an external clock is used, the duration of each of its levels must be longer than the master
clock period. The external clock frequency must be at least 2.5 times lower than the master clock

31.6.4 Clock Control
The clock of each counter can be controlled in two different ways: it can be enabled/disabled and started/stopped.
See Figure 31-4.
The clock can be enabled or disabled by the user with the CLKEN and the CLKDIS commands in the Control
Register. In Capture Mode it can be disabled by an RB load event if LDBDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. In
Waveform Mode, it can be disabled by an RC Compare event if CPCDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. When
disabled, the start or the stop actions have no effect: only a CLKEN command in the Control Register can reenable the clock. When the clock is enabled, the CLKSTA bit is set in the Status Register.
The clock can also be started or stopped: a trigger (software, synchro, external or compare) always starts
the clock. The clock can be stopped by an RB load event in Capture Mode (LDBSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) or a
RC compare event in Waveform Mode (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR). The start and the stop commands have
effect only if the clock is enabled.

31.6.5 TC Operating Modes
Each channel can independently operate in two different modes:
Capture Mode provides measurement on signals.
Waveform Mode provides wave generation.
The TC Operating Mode is programmed with the WAVE bit in the TC Channel Mode Register.
In Capture Mode, TIOA and TIOB are configured as inputs.
In Waveform Mode, TIOA is always configured to be an output and TIOB is an output if it is not selected to be the
external trigger.
31.6.6 Trigger
A trigger resets the counter and starts the counter clock. Three types of triggers are common to both modes, and a
fourth external trigger is available to each mode.
Regardless of the trigger used, it will be taken into account at the following active edge of the selected clock. This
means that the counter value can be read differently from zero just after a trigger, especially when a low frequency
signal is selected as the clock.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
543
The following triggers are common to both modes:
Software Trigger: Each channel has a software trigger, available by setting SWTRG in TC_CCR.
SYNC: Each channel has a synchronization signal SYNC. When asserted, this signal has the same effect as
a software trigger. The SYNC signals of all channels are asserted simultaneously by writing TC_BCR (Block
Control) with SYNC set.
Compare RC Trigger: RC is implemented in each channel and can provide a trigger when the counter value
matches the RC value if CPCTRG is set in TC_CMR.
The channel can also be configured to have an external trigger. In Capture Mode, the external trigger signal can be
selected between TIOA and TIOB. In Waveform Mode, an external event can be programmed on one of the
following signals: TIOB, XC0, XC1 or XC2. This external event can then be programmed to perform a trigger by
setting ENETRG in TC_CMR.
If an external trigger is used, the duration of the pulses must be longer than the master clock period in order to be
detected.
31.6.7 Capture Operating Mode
This mode is entered by clearing the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode Register).
Capture Mode allows the TC channel to perform measurements such as pulse timing, frequency, period, duty
cycle and phase on TIOA and TIOB signals which are considered as inputs.
Figure 31-5 shows the configuration of the TC channel when programmed in Capture Mode.
31.6.8 Capture Registers A and B
Registers A and B (RA and RB) are used as capture registers. This means that they can be loaded with the
counter value when a programmable event occurs on the signal TIOA.
The LDRA parameter in TC_CMR defines the TIOA edge for the loading of register A, and the LDRB parameter
defines the TIOA edge for the loading of Register B.
RA is loaded only if it has not been loaded since the last trigger or if RB has been loaded since the last loading of
RA.
RB is loaded only if RA has been loaded since the last trigger or the last loading of RB.
Loading RA or RB before the read of the last value loaded sets the Overrun Error Flag (LOVRS) in TC_SR (Status
Register). In this case, the old value is overwritten.
31.6.9 Trigger Conditions
In addition to the SYNC signal, the software trigger and the RC compare trigger, an external trigger can be defined.
The ABETRG bit in TC_CMR selects TIOA or TIOB input signal as an external trigger. The ETRGEDG parameter
defines the edge (rising, falling or both) detected to generate an external trigger. If ETRGEDG = 0 (none), the
external trigger is disabled.

31.6.10 Waveform Operating Mode
Waveform operating mode is entered by setting the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode Register).
In Waveform Operating Mode the TC channel generates 1 or 2 PWM signals with the same frequency and
independently programmable duty cycles, or generates different types of one-shot or repetitive pulses.
In this mode, TIOA is configured as an output and TIOB is defined as an output if it is not used as an external event
(EEVT parameter in TC_CMR).
Figure 31-6 shows the configuration of the TC channel when programmed in Waveform Operating Mode.
31.6.11 Waveform Selection
Depending on the WAVSEL parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode Register), the behavior of TC_CV varies.
With any selection, RA, RB and RC can all be used as compare registers.
RA Compare is used to control the TIOA output, RB Compare is used to control the TIOB output (if correctly
configured) and RC Compare is used to control TIOA and/or TIOB outputs.

31.6.11.1 WAVSEL = 00
When WAVSEL = 00, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to 0xFFFF. Once 0xFFFF has been reached, the
value of TC_CV is reset. Incrementation of TC_CV starts again and the cycle continues. See Figure 31-7.
An external event trigger or a software trigger can reset the value of TC_CV. It is important to note that the trigger
may occur at any time. See Figure 31-8.
RC Compare cannot be programmed to generate a trigger in this configuration. At the same time, RC Compare
can stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) and/or disable the counter clock (CPCDIS = 1 in
TC_CMR).

When WAVSEL = 10, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to the value of RC, then automatically reset on a
RC Compare. Once the value of TC_CV has been reset, it is then incremented and so on. See Figure 31-9.
It is important to note that TC_CV can be reset at any time by an external event or a software trigger if both are
programmed correctly. See Figure 31-10.
In addition, RC Compare can stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) and/or disable the counter clock
(CPCDIS = 1 in TC_CMR).

31.6.11.3 WAVSEL = 01
When WAVSEL = 01, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to 0xFFFF. Once 0xFFFF is reached, the value of
TC_CV is decremented to 0, then re-incremented to 0xFFFF and so on. See Figure 31-11.
A trigger such as an external event or a software trigger can modify TC_CV at any time. If a trigger occurs while
TC_CV is incrementing, TC_CV then decrements. If a trigger is received while TC_CV is decrementing, TC_CV
then increments. See Figure 31-12.
RC Compare cannot be programmed to generate a trigger in this configuration.
At the same time, RC Compare can stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1) and/or disable the counter clock
(CPCDIS = 1).

31.6.12 External Event/Trigger Conditions
An external event can be programmed to be detected on one of the clock sources (XC0, XC1, XC2) or TIOB. The
external event selected can then be used as a trigger.
The EEVT parameter in TC_CMR selects the external trigger. The EEVTEDG parameter defines the trigger edge
for each of the possible external triggers (rising, falling or both). If EEVTEDG is cleared (none), no external event
is defined.
If TIOB is defined as an external event signal (EEVT = 0), TIOB is no longer used as an output and the compare
register B is not used to generate waveforms and subsequently no IRQs. In this case the TC channel can only
generate a waveform on TIOA.
When an external event is defined, it can be used as a trigger by setting bit ENETRG in TC_CMR.
As in Capture Mode, the SYNC signal and the software trigger are also available as triggers. RC Compare can
also be used as a trigger depending on the parameter WAVSEL.
31.6.13 Output Controller
The output controller defines the output level changes on TIOA and TIOB following an event. TIOB control is used
only if TIOB is defined as output (not as an external event).
The following events control TIOA and TIOB: software trigger, external event and RC compare. RA compare
controls TIOA and RB compare controls TIOB. Each of these events can be programmed to set, clear or toggle the
output as defined in the corresponding parameter in TC_CMR.

Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART)
32.1
Description
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) provides one full duplex universal
synchronous asynchronous serial link. Data frame format is widely programmable (data length, parity, number of
stop bits) to support a maximum of standards. The receiver implements parity error, framing error and overrun
error detection. The receiver time-out enables handling variable-length frames and the transmitter timeguard
facilitates communications with slow remote devices. Multidrop communications are also supported through
address bit handling in reception and transmission.
The USART features three test modes: remote loopback, local loopback and automatic echo.
The USART supports specific operating modes providing interfaces on RS485, LIN and SPI buses, with ISO7816
T = 0 or T = 1 smart card slots and infrared transceivers. The hardware handshaking feature enables an out-ofband flow control by automatic management of the pins RTS and CTS.
The USART supports the connection to the Peripheral DMA Controller, which enables data transfers to the
transmitter and from the receiver. The PDC provides chained buffer management without any intervention of the
processor.

32.6.1 I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the USART may be multiplexed with the PIO lines. The programmer must first
program the PIO controller to assign the desired USART pins to their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the USART
are not used by the application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO Controller.
To prevent the TXD line from falling when the USART is disabled, the use of an internal pull up is mandatory. If the
hardware handshaking feature is used, the internal pull-up on TXD must also be enabled.

32.6.2 Power Management
The USART is not continuously clocked. The programmer must first enable the USART Clock in the Power
Management Controller (PMC) before using the USART. However, if the application does not require USART
operations, the USART clock can be stopped when not needed and be restarted later. In this case, the USART will
resume its operations where it left off.
Configuring the USART does not require the USART clock to be enabled.

32.7.1 Baud Rate Generator
The Baud Rate Generator provides the bit period clock named the Baud Rate Clock to both the receiver and the
transmitter.
The Baud Rate Generator clock source can be selected by setting the USCLKS field in the Mode Register
(US_MR) between:
the Master Clock MCK
a division of the Master Clock, the divider being product dependent, but generally set to 8
the external clock, available on the SCK pin
The Baud Rate Generator is based upon a 16-bit divider, which is programmed with the CD field of the Baud Rate
Generator Register (US_BRGR). If CD is programmed at 0, the Baud Rate Generator does not generate any
clock. If CD is programmed at 1, the divider is bypassed and becomes inactive.
If the external SCK clock is selected, the duration of the low and high levels of the signal provided on the SCK pin
must be longer than a Master Clock (MCK) period. The frequency of the signal provided on SCK must be at least
4.5 times lower than MCK.

32.7.1.1 Baud Rate in Asynchronous Mode
If the USART is programmed to operate in asynchronous mode, the selected clock is first divided by CD, which is
field programmed in the Baud Rate Generator Register (US_BRGR). The resulting clock is provided to the receiver
as a sampling clock and then divided by 16 or 8, depending on the programming of the OVER bit in US_MR.
If OVER is set to 1, the receiver sampling is 8 times higher than the Baud Rate Clock. If OVER is cleared, the
sampling is performed at 16 times the Baud Rate Clock.
The following formula performs the calculation of the baud rate.
SelectedClock
Baudrate = -------------------------------------------( 8 ( 2 – Over )CD )
This gives a maximum baud rate of MCK divided by 8, assuming that MCK is the highest possible clock and that
OVER is programmed at 1.

32.7.1.2 Fractional Baud Rate in Asynchronous Mode
The baud rate generator previously defined is subject to the following limitation: the output frequency changes by
only integer multiples of the reference frequency. An approach to this problem is to integrate a fractional N clock
generator that has a high resolution. The generator architecture is modified to obtain baud rate changes by a
fraction of the reference source clock. This fractional part is programmed with the FP field in the Baud Rate
Generator Register (US_BRGR). If FP is not 0, the fractional part is activated. The resolution is one eighth of the
clock divider. This feature is only available when using USART normal mode. The fractional baud rate is calculated
using the following formula:
SelectedClock
Baudrate = --------------------------------------------------------------- 8 ( 2 – Over ) CD + FP

32.7.1.3 Baud Rate in Synchronous Mode or SPI Mode
If the USART is programmed to operate in synchronous mode, the selected clock is simply divided by the field CD
in US_BRGR.
SelectedClock
BaudRate = -------------------------------------CD
In synchronous mode, if the external clock is selected (USCLKS = 3), the clock is provided directly by the signal on
the USART SCK pin. No division is active. The value written in US_BRGR has no effect. The external clock
frequency must be at least 4.5 times lower than the system clock. In synchronous mode master (USCLKS = 0 or 1,
CLK0 set to 1), the receive part limits the SCK maximum frequency to MCK/4.5,
When either the external clock SCK or the internal clock divided (MCK/DIV) is selected, the value programmed in
CD must be even if the user has to ensure a 50:50 mark/space ratio on the SCK pin. If the internal clock MCK is
selected, the Baud Rate Generator ensures a 50:50 duty cycle on the SCK pin, even if the value programmed in
CD is odd.

If the USART is configured in ISO7816 Mode, the clock selected by the USCLKS field in the Mode Register
(US_MR) is first divided by the value programmed in the field CD in the Baud Rate Generator Register
(US_BRGR). The resulting clock can be provided to the SCK pin to feed the smart card clock inputs. This means
that the CLKO bit can be set in US_MR.
This clock is then divided by the value programmed in the FI_DI_RATIO field in the FI_DI_Ratio register
(US_FIDI). This is performed by the Sampling Divider, which performs a division by up to 2047 in ISO7816 Mode.
The non-integer values of the Fi/Di Ratio are not supported and the user must program the FI_DI_RATIO field to a
value as close as possible to the expected value.
The FI_DI_RATIO field resets to the value 0x174 (372 in decimal) and is the most common divider between the
ISO7816 clock and the bit rate (Fi = 372, Di = 1).
Figure 32-5 shows the relation between the Elementary Time Unit, corresponding to a bit time, and the ISO 7816
clock.

32.7.2 Receiver and Transmitter Control
After reset, the receiver is disabled. The user must enable the receiver by setting the RXEN bit in the Control
Register (US_CR). However, the receiver registers can be programmed before the receiver clock is enabled.
After reset, the transmitter is disabled. The user must enable it by setting the TXEN bit in the Control Register
(US_CR). However, the transmitter registers can be programmed before being enabled.
The Receiver and the Transmitter can be enabled together or independently.
At any time, the software can perform a reset on the receiver or the transmitter of the USART by setting the
corresponding bit, RSTRX and RSTTX respectively, in the Control Register (US_CR). The software resets clear
the status flag and reset internal state machines but the user interface configuration registers hold the value
configured prior to software reset. Regardless of what the receiver or the transmitter is performing, the
communication is immediately stopped.
The user can also independently disable the receiver or the transmitter by setting RXDIS and TXDIS respectively
in US_CR. If the receiver is disabled during a character reception, the USART waits until the end of reception of
the current character, then the reception is stopped. If the transmitter is disabled while it is operating, the USART
waits the end of transmission of both the current character and character being stored in the Transmit Holding
Register (US_THR). If a timeguard is programmed, it is handled normally.
32.7.3 Synchronous and Asynchronous Modes
32.7.3.1 Transmitter Operations
The transmitter performs the same in both synchronous and asynchronous operating modes (SYNC = 0 or SYNC
= 1). One start bit, up to 9 data bits, one optional parity bit and up to two stop bits are successively shifted out on
the TXD pin at each falling edge of the programmed serial clock.
The number of data bits is selected by the CHRL field and the MODE 9 bit in the Mode Register (US_MR). Nine
bits are selected by setting the MODE 9 bit regardless of the CHRL field. The parity bit is set according to the PAR
field in US_MR. The even, odd, space, marked or none parity bit can be configured. The MSBF field in US_MR
configures which data bit is sent first. If written at 1, the most significant bit is sent first. At 0, the less significant bit
is sent first. The number of stop bits is selected by the NBSTOP field in US_MR. The 1.5 stop bit is supported in
asynchronous mode only.

The characters are sent by writing in the Transmit Holding Register (US_THR). The transmitter reports two status
bits in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR): TXRDY (Transmitter Ready), which indicates that US_THR is
empty and TXEMPTY, which indicates that all the characters written in US_THR have been processed. When the
current character processing is completed, the last character written in US_THR is transferred into the Shift
Register of the transmitter and US_THR becomes empty, thus TXRDY rises.
Both TXRDY and TXEMPTY bits are low when the transmitter is disabled. Writing a character in US_THR while
TXRDY is low has no effect and the written character is lost.

32.7.3.2 Manchester Encoder
When the Manchester encoder is in use, characters transmitted through the USART are encoded based on
biphase Manchester II format. To enable this mode, set the MAN field in the US_MR to 1. Depending on polarity
configuration, a logic level (zero or one), is transmitted as a coded signal one-to-zero or zero-to-one. Thus, a
transition always occurs at the midpoint of each bit time. It consumes more bandwidth than the original NRZ signal
(2x) but the receiver has more error control since the expected input must show a change at the center of a bit cell.
An example of Manchester encoded sequence is: the byte 0xB1 or 10110001 encodes to 10 01 10 10 01 01 01 10,
assuming the default polarity of the encoder. Figure 32-8 illustrates this coding scheme.

The Manchester encoded character can also be encapsulated by adding both a configurable preamble and a start
frame delimiter pattern. Depending on the configuration, the preamble is a training sequence, composed of a predefined pattern with a programmable length from 1 to 15 bit times. If the preamble length is set to 0, the preamble
waveform is not generated prior to any character. The preamble pattern is chosen among the following sequences:
ALL_ONE, ALL_ZERO, ONE_ZERO or ZERO_ONE, writing the field TX_PP in the US_MAN register, the field
TX_PL is used to configure the preamble length. Figure 32-9 illustrates and defines the valid patterns. To improve
flexibility, the encoding scheme can be configured using the TX_MPOL field in the US_MAN register. If the
TX_MPOL field is set to zero (default), a logic zero is encoded with a zero-to-one transition and a logic one is
encoded with a one-to-zero transition. If the TX_MPOL field is set to one, a logic one is encoded with a one-to-zero
transition and a logic zero is encoded with a zero-to-one transition.

A start frame delimiter is to be configured using the ONEBIT field in the US_MR. It consists of a user-defined
pattern that indicates the beginning of a valid data. Figure 32-10 illustrates these patterns. If the start frame
delimiter, also known as start bit, is one bit, (ONEBIT at 1), a logic zero is Manchester encoded and indicates that
a new character is being sent serially on the line. If the start frame delimiter is a synchronization pattern also
referred to as sync (ONEBIT at 0), a sequence of 3 bit times is sent serially on the line to indicate the start of a new
character. The sync waveform is in itself an invalid Manchester waveform as the transition occurs at the middle of
the second bit time. Two distinct sync patterns are used: the command sync and the data sync. The command
sync has a logic one level for one and a half bit times, then a transition to logic zero for the second one and a half
bit times. If the MODSYNC field in the US_MR is set to 1, the next character is a command. If it is set to 0, the next
character is a data. When direct memory access is used, the MODSYNC field can be immediately updated with a
modified character located in memory. To enable this mode, VAR_SYNC field in US_MR must be set to 1. In this
case, the MODSYNC field in US_MR is bypassed and the sync configuration is held in the TXSYNH in the
US_THR. The USART character format is modified and includes sync information.

32.7.3.3 Drift Compensation
Drift compensation is available only in 16X oversampling mode. An hardware recovery system allows a larger
clock drift. To enable the hardware system, the bit in the USART_MAN register must be set. If the RXD edge is
one 16X clock cycle from the expected edge, this is considered as normal jitter and no corrective actions is taken.
If the RXD event is between 4 and 2 clock cycles before the expected edge, then the current period is shortened
by one clock cycle. If the RXD event is between 2 and 3 clock cycles after the expected edge, then the current
period is lengthened by one clock cycle. These intervals are considered to be drift and so corrective actions are
automatically taken.

32.7.3.4 Asynchronous Receiver
If the USART is programmed in asynchronous operating mode (SYNC = 0), the receiver oversamples the RXD
input line. The oversampling is either 16 or 8 times the Baud Rate clock, depending on the OVER bit in the Mode
Register (US_MR).
The receiver samples the RXD line. If the line is sampled during one half of a bit time at 0, a start bit is detected
and data, parity and stop bits are successively sampled on the bit rate clock.
If the oversampling is 16, (OVER at 0), a start is detected at the eighth sample at 0. Then, data bits, parity bit and
stop bit are sampled on each 16 sampling clock cycle. If the oversampling is 8 (OVER at 1), a start bit is detected
at the fourth sample at 0. Then, data bits, parity bit and stop bit are sampled on each 8 sampling clock cycle.

The number of data bits, first bit sent and parity mode are selected by the same fields and bits as the transmitter,
i.e., respectively CHRL, MODE9, MSBF and PAR. For the synchronization mechanism only, the number of stop
bits has no effect on the receiver as it considers only one stop bit, regardless of the field NBSTOP, so that
resynchronization between the receiver and the transmitter can occur. Moreover, as soon as the stop bit is
sampled, the receiver starts looking for a new start bit so that resynchronization can also be accomplished when
the transmitter is operating with one stop bit.

32.7.3.5 Manchester Decoder
When the MAN field in US_MR is set to 1, the Manchester decoder is enabled. The decoder performs both
preamble and start frame delimiter detection. One input line is dedicated to Manchester encoded input data.
An optional preamble sequence can be defined, its length is user-defined and totally independent of the emitter
side. Use RX_PL in US_MAN register to configure the length of the preamble sequence. If the length is set to 0, no
preamble is detected and the function is disabled. In addition, the polarity of the input stream is programmable with
RX_MPOL field in US_MAN register. Depending on the desired application the preamble pattern matching is to be
defined via the RX_PP field in US_MAN. See Figure 32-9 for available preamble patterns.
586
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]

Unlike preamble, the start frame delimiter is shared between Manchester Encoder and Decoder. So, if ONEBIT
field is set to 1, only a zero encoded Manchester can be detected as a valid start frame delimiter. If ONEBIT is set
to 0, only a sync pattern is detected as a valid start frame delimiter. Decoder operates by detecting transition on
incoming stream. If RXD is sampled during one quarter of a bit time at zero, a start bit is detected. See Figure 3214. The sample pulse rejection mechanism applies.

The receiver is activated and starts Preamble and Frame Delimiter detection, sampling the data at one quarter and
then three quarters. If a valid preamble pattern or start frame delimiter is detected, the receiver continues decoding
with the same synchronization. If the stream does not match a valid pattern or a valid start frame delimiter, the
receiver re-synchronizes on the next valid edge.The minimum time threshold to estimate the bit value is three
quarters of a bit time.
If a valid preamble (if used) followed with a valid start frame delimiter is detected, the incoming stream is decoded
into NRZ data and passed to USART for processing. Figure 32-15 illustrates Manchester pattern mismatch. When
incoming data stream is passed to the USART, the receiver is also able to detect Manchester code violation. A
code violation is a lack of transition in the middle of a bit cell. In this case, MANE flag in US_CSR is raised. It is
cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA bit at 1. See Figure 32-16 for an example of
Manchester error detection during data phase.

When the start frame delimiter is a sync pattern (ONEBIT field at 0), both command and data delimiter are
supported. If a valid sync is detected, the received character is written as RXCHR field in the US_RHR and the
RXSYNH is updated. RXCHR is set to 1 when the received character is a command, and it is set to 0 if the
received character is a data. This mechanism alleviates and simplifies the direct memory access as the character
contains its own sync field in the same register.
As the decoder is set up to be used in unipolar mode, the first bit of the frame has to be a zero-to-one transition.
32.7.3.6 Radio Interface: Manchester Encoded USART Application
This section describes low data rate RF transmission systems and their integration with a Manchester encoded
USART. These systems are based on transmitter and receiver ICs that support ASK and FSK modulation
schemes.
The goal is to perform full duplex radio transmission of characters using two different frequency carriers. See the
configuration in Figure 32-17.

The USART module is configured as a Manchester encoder/decoder. Looking at the downstream communication
channel, Manchester encoded characters are serially sent to the RF emitter. This may also include a user defined
preamble and a start frame delimiter. Mostly, preamble is used in the RF receiver to distinguish between a valid
data from a transmitter and signals due to noise. The Manchester stream is then modulated. See Figure 32-18 for
an example of ASK modulation scheme. When a logic one is sent to the ASK modulator, the power amplifier,
referred to as PA, is enabled and transmits an RF signal at downstream frequency. When a logic zero is
transmitted, the RF signal is turned off. If the FSK modulator is activated, two different frequencies are used to
transmit data. When a logic 1 is sent, the modulator outputs an RF signal at frequency F0 and switches to F1 if the
data sent is a 0. See Figure 32-19.
From the receiver side, another carrier frequency is used. The RF receiver performs a bit check operation
examining demodulated data stream. If a valid pattern is detected, the receiver switches to receiving mode. The
demodulated stream is sent to the Manchester decoder. Because of bit checking inside RF IC, the data transferred
to the microcontroller is reduced by a user-defined number of bits. The Manchester preamble length is to be
defined in accordance with the RF IC configuration.

32.7.3.7 Synchronous Receiver
In synchronous mode (SYNC = 1), the receiver samples the RXD signal on each rising edge of the Baud Rate
Clock. If a low level is detected, it is considered as a start. All data bits, the parity bit and the stop bits are sampled
and the receiver waits for the next start bit. Synchronous mode operations provide a high speed transfer capability.
Configuration fields and bits are the same as in asynchronous mode.

32.7.3.8 Receiver Operations
When a character reception is completed, it is transferred to the Receive Holding Register (US_RHR) and the
RXRDY bit in the Status Register (US_CSR) rises. If a character is completed while the RXRDY is set, the OVRE
(Overrun Error) bit is set. The last character is transferred into US_RHR and overwrites the previous one. The
OVRE bit is cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA (Reset Status) bit at 1.

32.7.3.9 Parity
The USART supports five parity modes selected by programming the PAR field in the Mode Register (US_MR).
The PAR field also enables the Multidrop mode, see “Multidrop Mode” on page 591. Even and odd parity bit
generation and error detection are supported.
If even parity is selected, the parity generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit at 0 if a number of 1s in the
character data bit is even, and at 1 if the number of 1s is odd. Accordingly, the receiver parity checker counts the
number of received 1s and reports a parity error if the sampled parity bit does not correspond. If odd parity is
selected, the parity generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit at 1 if a number of 1s in the character data bit
is even, and at 0 if the number of 1s is odd. Accordingly, the receiver parity checker counts the number of received
1s and reports a parity error if the sampled parity bit does not correspond. If the mark parity is used, the parity
generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit at 1 for all characters. The receiver parity checker reports an error
if the parity bit is sampled at 0. If the space parity is used, the parity generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit
at 0 for all characters. The receiver parity checker reports an error if the parity bit is sampled at 1. If parity is
disabled, the transmitter does not generate any parity bit and the receiver does not report any parity error.
Table 32-9 shows an example of the parity bit for the character 0x41 (character ASCII “A”) depending on the
configuration of the USART. Because there are two bits at 1, 1 bit is added when a parity is odd, or 0 is added
when a parity is even.

When the receiver detects a parity error, it sets the PARE (Parity Error) bit in the Channel Status Register
(US_CSR). The PARE bit can be cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA bit at 1. Figure
32-22 illustrates the parity bit status setting and clearing.

32.7.3.10 Multidrop Mode
If the PAR field in the Mode Register (US_MR) is programmed to the value 0x6 or 0x07, the USART runs in
Multidrop Mode. This mode differentiates the data characters and the address characters. Data is transmitted with
the parity bit at 0 and addresses are transmitted with the parity bit at 1.
If the USART is configured in multidrop mode, the receiver sets the PARE parity error bit when the parity bit is high
and the transmitter is able to send a character with the parity bit high when the Control Register is written with the
SENDA bit at 1.
To handle parity error, the PARE bit is cleared when the Control Register is written with the bit RSTSTA at 1.
The transmitter sends an address byte (parity bit set) when SENDA is written to US_CR. In this case, the next byte
written to US_THR is transmitted as an address. Any character written in US_THR without having written the
command SENDA is transmitted normally with the parity at 0.

32.7.3.11 Transmitter Timeguard
The timeguard feature enables the USART interface with slow remote devices.
The timeguard function enables the transmitter to insert an idle state on the TXD line between two characters. This
idle state actually acts as a long stop bit.
The duration of the idle state is programmed in the TG field of the Transmitter Timeguard Register (US_TTGR).
When this field is programmed at zero no timeguard is generated. Otherwise, the transmitter holds a high level on
TXD after each transmitted byte during the number of bit periods programmed in TG in addition to the number of
stop bits.
As illustrated in Figure 32-23, the behavior of TXRDY and TXEMPTY status bits is modified by the programming of
a timeguard. TXRDY rises only when the start bit of the next character is sent, and thus remains at 0 during the
timeguard transmission if a character has been written in US_THR. TXEMPTY remains low until the timeguard
transmission is completed as the timeguard is part of the current character being transmitted.

32.7.3.12 Receiver Time-out
The Receiver Time-out provides support in handling variable-length frames. This feature detects an idle condition
on the RXD line. When a time-out is detected, the bit TIMEOUT in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR) rises
and can generate an interrupt, thus indicating to the driver an end of frame.
The time-out delay period (during which the receiver waits for a new character) is programmed in the TO field of
the Receiver Time-out Register (US_RTOR). If the TO field is programmed at 0, the Receiver Time-out is disabled
and no time-out is detected. The TIMEOUT bit in US_CSR remains at 0. Otherwise, the receiver loads a 16-bit
counter with the value programmed in TO. This counter is decremented at each bit period and reloaded each time
a new character is received. If the counter reaches 0, the TIMEOUT bit in the Status Register rises. Then, the user
can either:
Stop the counter clock until a new character is received. This is performed by writing the Control Register
(US_CR) with the STTTO (Start Time-out) bit at 1. In this case, the idle state on RXD before a new character
is received will not provide a time-out. This prevents having to handle an interrupt before a character is
received and allows waiting for the next idle state on RXD after a frame is received.
Obtain an interrupt while no character is received. This is performed by writing US_CR with the RETTO
(Reload and Start Time-out) bit at 1. If RETTO is performed, the counter starts counting down immediately
from the value TO. This enables generation of a periodic interrupt so that a user time-out can be handled, for
example when no key is pressed on a keyboard.
If STTTO is performed, the counter clock is stopped until a first character is received. The idle state on RXD before
the start of the frame does not provide a time-out. This prevents having to obtain a periodic interrupt and enables a
wait of the end of frame when the idle state on RXD is detected.
If RETTO is performed, the counter starts counting down immediately from the value TO. This enables generation
of a periodic interrupt so that a user time-out can be handled, for example when no key is pressed on a keyboard.

32.7.3.13 Framing Error
The receiver is capable of detecting framing errors. A framing error happens when the stop bit of a received
character is detected at level 0. This can occur if the receiver and the transmitter are fully desynchronized.
A framing error is reported on the FRAME bit of the Channel Status Register (US_CSR). The FRAME bit is
asserted in the middle of the stop bit as soon as the framing error is detected. It is cleared by writing the Control
Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA bit at 1.

32.7.3.14 Transmit Break
The user can request the transmitter to generate a break condition on the TXD line. A break condition drives the
TXD line low during at least one complete character. It appears the same as a 0x00 character sent with the parity
and the stop bits at 0. However, the transmitter holds the TXD line at least during one character until the user
requests the break condition to be removed.
A break is transmitted by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the STTBRK bit at 1. This can be performed at
any time, either while the transmitter is empty (no character in either the Shift Register or in US_THR) or when a
594
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
character is being transmitted. If a break is requested while a character is being shifted out, the character is first
completed before the TXD line is held low.
Once STTBRK command is requested further STTBRK commands are ignored until the end of the break is
completed.
The break condition is removed by writing US_CR with the STPBRK bit at 1. If the STPBRK is requested before
the end of the minimum break duration (one character, including start, data, parity and stop bits), the transmitter
ensures that the break condition completes.
The transmitter considers the break as though it is a character, i.e., the STTBRK and STPBRK commands are
taken into account only if the TXRDY bit in US_CSR is at 1 and the start of the break condition clears the TXRDY
and TXEMPTY bits as if a character is processed.
Writing US_CR with the both STTBRK and STPBRK bits at 1 can lead to an unpredictable result. All STPBRK
commands requested without a previous STTBRK command are ignored. A byte written into the Transmit Holding
Register while a break is pending, but not started, is ignored.
After the break condition, the transmitter returns the TXD line to 1 for a minimum of 12 bit times. Thus, the
transmitter ensures that the remote receiver detects correctly the end of break and the start of the next character.
If the timeguard is programmed with a value higher than 12, the TXD line is held high for the timeguard period.
After holding the TXD line for this period, the transmitter resumes normal operations.
Figure 32-26 illustrates the effect of both the Start Break (STTBRK) and Stop Break (STPBRK) commands on the
TXD line.

32.7.3.15 Receive Break
The receiver detects a break condition when all data, parity and stop bits are low. This corresponds to detecting a
framing error with data at 0x00, but FRAME remains low.
When the low stop bit is detected, the receiver asserts the RXBRK bit in US_CSR. This bit may be cleared by
writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the bit RSTSTA at 1.
An end of receive break is detected by a high level for at least 2/16 of a bit period in asynchronous operating mode
or one sample at high level in synchronous operating mode. The end of break detection also asserts the RXBRK
bit.

32.7.3.16 Hardware Handshaking
The USART features a hardware handshaking out-of-band flow control. The RTS and CTS pins are used to

Setting the USART to operate with hardware handshaking is performed by writing the USART_MODE field in the
Mode Register (US_MR) to the value 0x2.
The USART behavior when hardware handshaking is enabled is the same as the behavior in standard
synchronous or asynchronous mode, except that the receiver drives the RTS pin as described below and the level
on the CTS pin modifies the behavior of the transmitter as described below. Using this mode requires using the
PDC channel for reception. The transmitter can handle hardware handshaking in any case.
Figure 32-28 shows how the receiver operates if hardware handshaking is enabled. The RTS pin is driven high if
the receiver is disabled and if the status RXBUFF (Receive Buffer Full) coming from the PDC channel is high.
Normally, the remote device does not start transmitting while its CTS pin (driven by RTS) is high. As soon as the
Receiver is enabled, the RTS falls, indicating to the remote device that it can start transmitting. Defining a new
buffer to the PDC clears the status bit RXBUFF and, as a result, asserts the pin RTS low.

32.7.4 ISO7816 Mode
The USART features an ISO7816-compatible operating mode. This mode permits interfacing with smart cards and
Security Access Modules (SAM) communicating through an ISO7816 link. Both T = 0 and T = 1 protocols defined
by the ISO7816 specification are supported.
Setting the USART in ISO7816 mode is performed by writing the USART_MODE field in the Mode Register (US_MR)
to the value 0x4 for protocol T = 0 and to the value 0x5 for protocol T = 1.
32.7.4.1 ISO7816 Mode Overview
The ISO7816 is a half duplex communication on only one bidirectional line. The baud rate is determined by a
division of the clock provided to the remote device (see “Baud Rate Generator” on page 578).
The USART connects to a smart card as shown in Figure 32-30. The TXD line becomes bidirectional and the Baud
Rate Generator feeds the ISO7816 clock on the SCK pin. As the TXD pin becomes bidirectional, its output remains
driven by the output of the transmitter but only when the transmitter is active while its input is directed to the input
of the receiver. The USART is considered as the master of the communication as it generates the clock.

TXD
CLK
I/O
Smart
Card
When operating in ISO7816, either in T = 0 or T = 1 modes, the character format is fixed. The configuration is 8
data bits, even parity and 1 or 2 stop bits, regardless of the values programmed in the CHRL, MODE9, PAR and
CHMODE fields. MSBF can be used to transmit LSB or MSB first. Parity Bit (PAR) can be used to transmit in
normal or inverse mode. Refer to “USART Mode Register” on page 625 and “PAR: Parity Type” on page 626.
The USART cannot operate concurrently in both receiver and transmitter modes as the communication is
unidirectional at a time. It has to be configured according to the required mode by enabling or disabling either the
receiver or the transmitter as desired. Enabling both the receiver and the transmitter at the same time in ISO7816
mode may lead to unpredictable results.
The ISO7816 specification defines an inverse transmission format. Data bits of the character must be transmitted
on the I/O line at their negative value. The USART does not support this format and the user has to perform an
exclusive OR on the data before writing it in the Transmit Holding Register (US_THR) or after reading it in the
Receive Holding Register (US_RHR).
32.7.4.2 Protocol T = 0
In T = 0 protocol, a character is made up of one start bit, eight data bits, one parity bit and one guard time, which
lasts two bit times. The transmitter shifts out the bits and does not drive the I/O line during the guard time.
If no parity error is detected, the I/O line remains at 1 during the guard time and the transmitter can continue with
the transmission of the next character, as shown in Figure 32-31.
If a parity error is detected by the receiver, it drives the I/O line at 0 during the guard time, as shown in Figure 3232. This error bit is also named NACK, for Non Acknowledge. In this case, the character lasts 1 bit time more, as
the guard time length is the same and is added to the error bit time which lasts 1 bit time.
When the USART is the receiver and it detects an error, it does not load the erroneous character in the Receive
Holding Register (US_RHR). It appropriately sets the PARE bit in the Status Register (US_SR) so that the
software can handle the error.

Receive Error Counter
The USART receiver also records the total number of errors. This can be read in the Number of Error (US_NER)
register. The NB_ERRORS field can record up to 255 errors. Reading US_NER automatically clears the
NB_ERRORS field.
Receive NACK Inhibit
The USART can also be configured to inhibit an error. This can be achieved by setting the INACK bit in the Mode
Register (US_MR). If INACK is at 1, no error signal is driven on the I/O line even if a parity bit is detected, but the
INACK bit is set in the Status Register (US_SR). The INACK bit can be cleared by writing the Control Register
(US_CR) with the RSTNACK bit at 1.
Moreover, if INACK is set, the erroneous received character is stored in the Receive Holding Register, as if no
error occurred. However, the RXRDY bit does not raise.
Transmit Character Repetition
When the USART is transmitting a character and gets a NACK, it can automatically repeat the character before
moving on to the next one. Repetition is enabled by writing the MAX_ITERATION field in the Mode Register
(US_MR) at a value higher than 0. Each character can be transmitted up to eight times; the first transmission plus
seven repetitions.
If MAX_ITERATION does not equal zero, the USART repeats the character as many times as the value loaded in
MAX_ITERATION.
When the USART repetition number reaches MAX_ITERATION, the ITERATION bit is set in the Channel Status
Register (US_CSR). If the repetition of the character is acknowledged by the receiver, the repetitions are stopped
and the iteration counter is cleared.
The ITERATION bit in US_CSR can be cleared by writing the Control Register with the RSIT bit at 1.
Disable Successive Receive NACK
The receiver can limit the number of successive NACKs sent back to the remote transmitter. This is programmed
by setting the bit DSNACK in the Mode Register (US_MR). The maximum number of NACK transmitted is
programmed in the MAX_ITERATION field. As soon as MAX_ITERATION is reached, the character is considered
as correct, an acknowledge is sent on the line and the ITERATION bit in the Channel Status Register is set.

32.7.4.3 Protocol T = 1
When operating in ISO7816 protocol T = 1, the transmission is similar to an asynchronous format with only one
stop bit. The parity is generated when transmitting and checked when receiving. Parity error detection sets the
PARE bit in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR).
32.7.5 IrDA Mode
The USART features an IrDA mode supplying half-duplex point-to-point wireless communication. It embeds the
modulator and demodulator which allows a glueless connection to the infrared transceivers, as shown in Figure
32-33. The modulator and demodulator are compliant with the IrDA specification version 1.1 and support data
transfer speeds ranging from 2.4 Kb/s to 115.2 Kb/s.
The USART IrDA mode is enabled by setting the USART_MODE field in the Mode Register (US_MR) to the value
0x8. The IrDA Filter Register (US_IF) allows configuring the demodulator filter. The USART transmitter and
receiver operate in a normal asynchronous mode and all parameters are accessible. Note that the modulator and
the demodulator are activated.

32.7.5.1 IrDA Modulation

32.7.5.3 IrDA Demodulator
The demodulator is based on the IrDA Receive filter comprised of an 8-bit down counter which is loaded with the
value programmed in US_IF. When a falling edge is detected on the RXD pin, the Filter Counter starts counting
down at the Master Clock (MCK) speed. If a rising edge is detected on the RXD pin, the counter stops and is
reloaded with US_IF. If no rising edge is detected when the counter reaches 0, the input of the receiver is driven
low during one bit time.
Figure 32-35 illustrates the operations of the IrDA demodulator.

As the IrDA mode uses the same logic as the ISO7816, note that the FI_DI_RATIO field in US_FIDI must be set to
a value higher than 0 in order to assure IrDA communications operate correctly.
32.7.6 RS485 Mode
The USART features the RS485 mode to enable line driver control. While operating in RS485 mode, the USART
behaves as though in asynchronous or synchronous mode and configuration of all the parameters is possible. The
difference is that the RTS pin is driven high when the transmitter is operating. The behavior of the RTS pin is
controlled by the TXEMPTY bit. A typical connection of the USART to a RS485 bus is shown in Figure 32-36.

RXD

RTS
The USART is set in RS485 mode by programming the USART_MODE field in the Mode Register (US_MR) to the
value 0x1.
The RTS pin is at a level inverse to the TXEMPTY bit. Significantly, the RTS pin remains high when a timeguard is
programmed so that the line can remain driven after the last character completion. Figure 32-37 gives an example
of the RTS waveform during a character transmission when the timeguard is enabled.

32.7.7 SPI Mode
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Mode is a synchronous serial data link that provides communication with
external devices in Master or Slave Mode. It also enables communication between processors if an external
processor is connected to the system.
The Serial Peripheral Interface is essentially a shift register that serially transmits data bits to other SPIs. During a
data transfer, one SPI system acts as the “master” which controls the data flow, while the other devices act as
“slaves'' which have data shifted into and out by the master. Different CPUs can take turns being masters and one
master may simultaneously shift data into multiple slaves. (Multiple Master Protocol is the opposite of Single
Master Protocol, where one CPU is always the master while all of the others are always slaves.) However, only
one slave may drive its output to write data back to the master at any given time.
A slave device is selected when its NSS signal is asserted by the master. The USART in SPI Master mode can
address only one SPI Slave because it can generate only one NSS signal.
The SPI system consists of two data lines and two control lines:
Master Out Slave In (MOSI): This data line supplies the output data from the master shifted into the input of
the slave.
Master In Slave Out (MISO): This data line supplies the output data from a slave to the input of the master.
Serial Clock (SCK): This control line is driven by the master and regulates the flow of the data bits. The
master may transmit data at a variety of baud rates. The SCK line cycles once for each bit that is
transmitted.
Slave Select (NSS): This control line allows the master to select or deselect the slave.
32.7.7.1 Modes of Operation
The USART can operate in SPI Master Mode or in SPI Slave Mode.
Operation in SPI Master Mode is programmed by writing at 0xE the USART_MODE field in the Mode Register. In
this case the SPI lines must be connected as described below:
602
The MOSI line is driven by the output pin TXD
The MISO line drives the input pin RXD
The SCK line is driven by the output pin SCK
The NSS line is driven by the output pin RTS
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
Operation in SPI Slave Mode is programmed by writing at 0xF the USART_MODE field in the Mode Register. In
this case the SPI lines must be connected as described below:
The MOSI line drives the input pin RXD
The MISO line is driven by the output pin TXD
The SCK line drives the input pin SCK
The NSS line drives the input pin CTS
In order to avoid unpredicted behavior, any change of the SPI Mode must be followed by a software reset of the
transmitter and of the receiver (except the initial configuration after a hardware reset). (See Section 32.7.8.2).
32.7.7.2 Baud Rate
In SPI Mode, the baudrate generator operates in the same way as in USART synchronous mode: See “Baud Rate
in Synchronous Mode or SPI Mode” on page 580. However, there are some restrictions:
In SPI Master Mode:
The external clock SCK must not be selected (USCLKS ≠ 0x3), and the bit CLKO must be set to “1” in the
Mode Register (US_MR), in order to generate correctly the serial clock on the SCK pin.
To obtain correct behavior of the receiver and the transmitter, the value programmed in CD of must be
superior or equal to 6.
If the internal clock divided (MCK/DIV) is selected, the value programmed in CD must be even to ensure a
50:50 mark/space ratio on the SCK pin, this value can be odd if the internal clock is selected (MCK).
In SPI Slave Mode:
The external clock (SCK) selection is forced regardless of the value of the USCLKS field in the Mode
Register (US_MR). Likewise, the value written in US_BRGR has no effect, because the clock is provided
directly by the signal on the USART SCK pin.
To obtain correct behavior of the receiver and the transmitter, the external clock (SCK) frequency must be at
least 4 times lower than the system clock.
32.7.7.3 Data Transfer
Up to 9 data bits are successively shifted out on the TXD pin at each rising or falling edge (depending of CPOL and
CPHA) of the programmed serial clock. There is no Start bit, no Parity bit and no Stop bit.
The number of data bits is selected by the CHRL field and the MODE 9 bit in the Mode Register (US_MR). The 9
bits are selected by setting the MODE 9 bit regardless of the CHRL field. The MSB data bit is always sent first in
SPI Mode (Master or Slave).
Four combinations of polarity and phase are available for data transfers. The clock polarity is programmed with the
CPOL bit in the Mode Register. The clock phase is programmed with the CPHA bit. These two parameters
determine the edges of the clock signal upon which data is driven and sampled. Each of the two parameters has
two possible states, resulting in four possible combinations that are incompatible with one another. Thus, a
master/slave pair must use the same parameter pair values to communicate. If multiple slaves are used and fixed
in different configurations, the master must reconfigure itself each time it needs to communicate with a different
slave.

32.7.7.4 Receiver and Transmitter Control
See “Receiver and Transmitter Control” on page 582.
32.7.7.5 Character Transmission
The characters are sent by writing in the Transmit Holding Register (US_THR). The transmitter reports two status
bits in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR): TXRDY (Transmitter Ready), which indicates that US_THR is
empty and TXEMPTY, which indicates that all the characters written in US_THR have been processed. When the
604
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
current character processing is completed, the last character written in US_THR is transferred into the Shift
Register of the transmitter and US_THR becomes empty, thus TXRDY rises.
Both TXRDY and TXEMPTY bits are low when the transmitter is disabled. Writing a character in US_THR while
TXRDY is low has no effect and the written character is lost.
If the USART is in SPI Slave Mode and if a character must be sent while the Transmit Holding Register (US_THR)
is empty, the UNRE (Underrun Error) bit is set. The TXD transmission line stays at high level during all this time.
The UNRE bit is cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA (Reset Status) bit at 1.
In SPI Master Mode, the slave select line (NSS) is asserted at low level one tbit (tbit being the nominal time required
to transmit a bit) before the transmission of the MSB bit and released at high level one tbit after the transmission of
the LSB bit. So, the slave select line (NSS) is always released between each character transmission and a
minimum delay of three tbit always inserted. However, in order to address slave devices supporting the CSAAT
mode (Chip Select Active After Transfer), the slave select line (NSS) can be forced at low level by writing the
Control Register (US_CR) with the RTSEN bit at 1. The slave select line (NSS) can be released at high level only
by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RTSDIS bit at 1 (for example, when all data have been
transferred to the slave device).
In SPI Slave Mode, the transmitter does not require a falling edge of the slave select line (NSS) to initiate a
character transmission but only a low level. However, this low level must be present on the slave select line (NSS)
at least one tbit before the first serial clock cycle corresponding to the MSB bit.
32.7.7.6 Character Reception
When a character reception is completed, it is transferred to the Receive Holding Register (US_RHR) and the
RXRDY bit in the Status Register (US_CSR) rises. If a character is completed while RXRDY is set, the OVRE
(Overrun Error) bit is set. The last character is transferred into US_RHR and overwrites the previous one. The
OVRE bit is cleared by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA (Reset Status) bit at 1.
To ensure correct behavior of the receiver in SPI Slave Mode, the master device sending the frame must ensure a
minimum delay of one tbit between each character transmission. The receiver does not require a falling edge of the
slave select line (NSS) to initiate a character reception but only a low level. However, this low level must be
present on the slave select line (NSS) at least one tbit before the first serial clock cycle corresponding to the MSB
bit.
32.7.7.7 Receiver Timeout
Because the receiver baud rate clock is active only during data transfers in SPI Mode, a receiver timeout is
impossible in this mode, whatever the Time-out value is (field TO) in the Time-out Register (US_RTOR).
32.7.8 LIN Mode
The LIN Mode provides Master node and Slave node connectivity on a LIN bus.
The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial communication protocol which efficiently supports the control of
mechatronic nodes in distributed automotive applications.
The main properties of the LIN bus are:
Single Master/Multiple Slaves concept
Low cost silicon implementation based on common UART/SCI interface hardware, an equivalent in software,
or as a pure state machine.
Self synchronization without quartz or ceramic resonator in the slave nodes
Deterministic signal transmission
Low cost single-wire implementation
Speed up to 20 kbit/s
LIN provides cost efficient bus communication where the bandwidth and versatility of CAN are not required.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
605
The LIN Mode enables processing LIN frames with a minimum of action from the microprocessor.
32.7.8.1 Modes of operation
The USART can act either as a LIN Master node or as a LIN Slave node.
The node configuration is chosen by setting the USART_MODE field in the USART3 Mode register (US_MR):
LIN Master Node (USART_MODE = 0xA)
LIN Slave Node (USART_MODE = 0xB)
In order to avoid unpredicted behavior, any change of the LIN node configuration must be followed by a software
reset of the transmitter and of the receiver (except the initial node configuration after a hardware reset). (See
Section 32.7.8.2)
32.7.8.2 Receiver and Transmitter Control
See “Receiver and Transmitter Control” on page 582.
32.7.8.3 Character Transmission
See “Transmitter Operations” on page 582.
32.7.8.4 Character Reception
See “Receiver Operations” on page 589.
32.7.8.5 Header Transmission (Master Node Configuration)
All the LIN Frames start with a header which is sent by the master node and consists of a Synch Break Field,
Synch Field and Identifier Field.
So in Master node configuration, the frame handling starts with the sending of the header.
The header is transmitted as soon as the identifier is written in the LIN Identifier register (US_LINIR). At this
moment the flag TXRDY falls.
The Break Field, the Synch Field and the Identifier Field are sent automatically one after the other.
The Break Field consists of 13 dominant bits and 1 recessive bit, the Synch Field is the character 0x55 and the
Identifier corresponds to the character written in the LIN Identifier Register (US_LINIR). The Identifier parity bits
can be automatically computed and sent (see Section 32.7.8.8).
The flag TXRDY rises when the identifier character is transferred into the Shift Register of the transmitter.As soon
as the Synch Break Field is transmitted, the flag LINBK in the Channel Status register (US_CSR) is set to “1”.
Likewise, as soon as the Identifier Field is sent, the flag LINID in the Channel Status register (US_CSR) is set to
“1”. These flags are reset by writing the bit RSTSTA at “1” in the Control register (US_CR).

32.7.8.6 Header Reception (Slave Node Configuration)
All the LIN Frames start with a header which is sent by the master node and consists of a Synch Break Field,
Synch Field and Identifier Field.
In Slave node configuration, the frame handling starts with the reception of the header.
The USART uses a break detection threshold of 11 nominal bit times at the actual baud rate. At any time, if 11
consecutive recessive bits are detected on the bus, the USART detects a Break Field. As long as a Break Field
has not been detected, the USART stays idle and the received data are not taken in account.
When a Break Field has been detected, the flag LINBK in the Channel Status register (US_CSR) is set to “1” and
the USART expects the Synch Field character to be 0x55. This field is used to update the actual baud rate in order
to stay synchronized (see Section 32.7.8.7). If the received Synch character is not 0x55, an Inconsistent Synch
Field error is generated (see Section 32.7.8.13).
After receiving the Synch Field, the USART expects to receive the Identifier Field.
When the Identifier Field has been received, the flag LINID in the Channel Status register (US_CSR) is set to “1”.
At this moment the field IDCHR in the LIN Identifier register (US_LINIR) is updated with the received character.
The Identifier parity bits can be automatically computed and checked (see Section 32.7.8.8).The flags LINID and
LINBK are reset by writing the bit RSTSTA at “1” in the Control register (US_CR).

32.7.8.7 Slave Node Synchronization
The synchronization is done only in Slave node configuration. The procedure is based on time measurement
between falling edges of the Synch Field. The falling edges are available in distances of 2, 4, 6 and 8 bit times.

The time measurement is made by a 19-bit counter clocked by the sampling clock (see Section 32.7.1).
When the start bit of the Synch Field is detected the counter is reset. Then during the next eight tbit of the Synch
Field, the counter is incremented. At the end of these eight tbit, the counter is stopped. At this moment, the 16 most

significant bits of the counter (value divided by 8) gives the new clock divider (CD) and the 3 least significant bits of
this value (the remainder) gives the new fractional part (FP).
When the Synch Field has been received, the clock divider (CD) and the fractional part (FP) are updated in the
Baud Rate Generator register (US_BRGR).

The accuracy of the synchronization depends on several parameters:
The nominal clock frequency (fNom) (the theoretical slave node clock frequency)
The baud rate
The oversampling (OVER = 0 => 16X or OVER = 1 => 8X)
The following formula is used to compute the deviation of the slave bit rate relative to the master bit rate after
synchronization (fSLAVE is the real slave node clock frequency).
[ α × 8 × ( 2 – Over ) + β ] × Baudrate
Baudrate_deviation = 100 × ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- %

– 0.5 ≤ α ≤ +0.5
-1 < β < +1
fTOL_UNSYNCH is the deviation of the real slave node clock from the nominal clock frequency. The LIN Standard
imposes that it must not exceed ±15%. The LIN Standard imposes also that for communication between two
nodes, their bit rate must not differ by more than ±2%. This means that the Baudrate_deviation must not exceed
±1%.
It follows from that, a minimum value for the nominal clock frequency:

f Nom ( min ) = 100 × ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hz
– 15

Examples:
608
Baudrate = 20 kbit/s, OVER = 0 (Oversampling 16X) => fNom(min) = 2.64 MHz
Baudrate = 20 kbit/s, OVER = 1 (Oversampling 8X) => fNom(min) = 1.47 MHz
Baudrate = 1 kbit/s, OVER = 0 (Oversampling 16X) => fNom(min) = 132 kHz
Baudrate = 1 kbit/s, OVER = 1 (Oversampling 8X) => fNom(min) = 74 kHz

If the fractional baud rate is not used, the accuracy of the synchronization becomes much lower. When the counter
is stopped, the 16 most significant bits of the counter (value divided by 8) gives the new clock divider (CD). This
value is rounded by adding the first insignificant bit. The equation of the Baudrate deviation is the same as given
above, but the constants are as follows:

32.7.8.8 Identifier Parity
A protected identifier consists of two sub-fields; the identifier and the identifier parity. Bits 0 to 5 are assigned to the
identifier and bits 6 and 7 are assigned to the parity.
The USART interface can generate/check these parity bits, but this feature can also be disabled. The user can
choose between two modes by the PARDIS bit of the LIN Mode register (US_LINMR):
PARDIS = 0:
̶
̶
During header transmission, the parity bits are computed and sent with the 6 least significant bits of
the IDCHR field of the LIN Identifier register (US_LINIR). The bits 6 and 7 of this register are
discarded.
During header reception, the parity bits of the identifier are checked. If the parity bits are wrong, an
Identifier Parity error occurs (see Section 32.7.3.9). Only the 6 least significant bits of the IDCHR field
are updated with the received Identifier. The bits 6 and 7 are stuck at 0.
PARDIS = 1:
̶
̶
During header transmission, all the bits of the IDCHR field of the LIN Identifier register (US_LINIR) are
sent on the bus.
During header reception, all the bits of the IDCHR field are updated with the received Identifier.

32.7.8.9 Node Action
Depending on the identifier, the node is affected – or not – by the LIN response. Consequently, after sending or
receiving the identifier, the USART must be configured. There are three possible configurations:
PUBLISH: the node sends the response.
SUBSCRIBE: the node receives the response.
IGNORE: the node is not concerned by the response, it does not send and does not receive the response.
This configuration is made by the field Node Action (NACT) in the US_LINMR (see Section 32.8.16).
Example: a LIN cluster that contains a Master and two Slaves:
Data transfer from the Master to the Slave 1 and to the Slave 2:
NACT(Master)=PUBLISH
NACT(Slave1)=SUBSCRIBE
NACT(Slave2)=SUBSCRIBE
Data transfer from the Master to the Slave 1 only:
NACT(Master)=PUBLISH
NACT(Slave1)=SUBSCRIBE
NACT(Slave2)=IGNORE
Data transfer from the Slave 1 to the Master:
NACT(Master)=SUBSCRIBE
NACT(Slave1)=PUBLISH
NACT(Slave2)=IGNORE
Data transfer from the Slave1 to the Slave2:
NACT(Master)=IGNORE
NACT(Slave1)=PUBLISH
NACT(Slave2)=SUBSCRIBE
Data transfer from the Slave2 to the Master and to the Slave1:

32.7.8.10 Response Data Length
The LIN response data length is the number of data fields (bytes) of the response excluding the checksum.
The response data length can either be configured by the user or be defined automatically by bits 4 and 5 of the
Identifier (compatibility to LIN Specification 1.1). The user can choose between these two modes by the DLM bit of
the LIN Mode register (US_LINMR):
DLM = 0: the response data length is configured by the user via the DLC field of the LIN Mode register
(US_LINMR). The response data length is equal to (DLC + 1) bytes. DLC can be programmed from 0 to 255,
so the response can contain from 1 data byte up to 256 data bytes.
DLM = 1: the response data length is defined by the Identifier (IDCHR in US_LINIR) according to the table
below. The DLC field of the LIN Mode register (US_LINMR) is discarded. The response can contain 2 or 4 or
8 data bytes.

32.7.8.11 Checksum
The last field of a frame is the checksum. The checksum contains the inverted 8- bit sum with carry, over all data
bytes or all data bytes and the protected identifier. Checksum calculation over the data bytes only is called classic
checksum and it is used for communication with LIN 1.3 slaves. Checksum calculation over the data bytes and the
protected identifier byte is called enhanced checksum and it is used for communication with LIN 2.0 slaves.
The USART can be configured to:
Send/Check an Enhanced checksum automatically (CHKDIS = 0 & CHKTYP = 0)
Send/Check a Classic checksum automatically (CHKDIS = 0 & CHKTYP = 1)
Not send/check a checksum (CHKDIS = 1)
This configuration is made by the Checksum Type (CHKTYP) and Checksum Disable (CHKDIS) fields of the LIN
Mode register (US_LINMR).
If the checksum feature is disabled, the user can send it manually all the same, by considering the checksum as a
normal data byte and by adding 1 to the response data length (see Section 32.7.8.10).

32.7.8.12 Frame Slot Mode
This mode is useful only for Master nodes. It respects the following rule: each frame slot shall be longer than or
equal to tFrame_Maximum.
If the Frame Slot Mode is enabled (FSDIS = 0) and a frame transfer has been completed, the TXRDY flag is set
again only after tFrame_Maximum delay, from the start of frame. So the Master node cannot send a new header if the
frame slot duration of the previous frame is inferior to tFrame_Maximum.
If the Frame Slot Mode is disabled (FDIS = 1) and a frame transfer has been completed, the TXRDY flag is set
again immediately.
The tFrame_Maximum is calculated as below:
If the Checksum is sent (CHKDIS = 0):
tHeader_Nominal = 34 x tbit
tResponse_Nominal = 10 x (NData + 1) x tbit
tFrame_Maximum = 1.4 x (tHeader_Nominal + tResponse_Nominal + 1)(1)
tFrame_Maximum = 1.4 x (34 + 10 x (DLC + 1 + 1) + 1) x tbit
tFrame_Maximum = (77 + 14 x DLC) x tbit
If the Checksum is not sent (CHKDIS = 1):
tHeader_Nominal = 34 x tbit
tResponse_Nominal = 10 x NData x tbit
tFrame_Maximum = 1.4 x (tHeader_Nominal + tResponse_Nominal + 1(1))
tFrame_Maximum = 1.4 x (34 + 10 x (DLC + 1) + 1) x tbit
tFrame_Maximum = (63 + 14 x DLC) x tbit
Note:

The term “+1” leads to an integer result for tFrame_Max (LIN Specification 1.3)

This error is generated when the USART is transmitting and if the transmitted value on the Tx line is different from
the value sampled on the Rx line.

Inconsistent Synch Field Error
This error is generated in Slave node configuration if the Synch Field character received is other than 0x55.
Parity Error
This error is generated if the parity of the identifier is wrong. This error can be generated only if the parity feature is
enabled (PARDIS = 0).
Checksum Error
This error is set if the received checksum is wrong. This error can be generated only if the checksum feature is
enabled (CHKDIS = 0).
Slave Not Responding Error
This error is set when the USART expects a response from another node (NACT = SUBSCRIBE) but no valid
message appears on the bus within the time frame given by the maximum length of the message frame,
TFrame_Maximum (see Section 32.7.8.12). This error is disabled if the USART does not expect any message
(NACT = PUBLISH or NACT = IGNORE).

32.7.8.15 LIN Frame Handling With the Peripheral DMA Controller
The USART can be used in association with the Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC) in order to transfer data directly
into/from the on- and off-chip memories without any processor intervention.
The PDC uses the trigger flags, TXRDY and RXRDY, to write or read into the USART. The PDC always writes in
the Transmit Holding register (US_THR) and it always reads in the Receive Holding register (US_RHR). The size
of the data written or read by the PDC in the USART is always a byte.
Master Node Configuration
The user can choose between two PDC modes by the PDCM bit in the LIN Mode register (US_LINMR):
PDCM = 1: the LIN configuration is stored in the WRITE buffer and it is written by the PDC in the Transmit
Holding register US_THR (instead of the LIN Mode register US_LINMR). Because the PDC transfer size is
limited to a byte, the transfer is split into two accesses. During the first access the bits, NACT, PARDIS,
CHKDIS, CHKTYP, DLM and FDIS are written. During the second access the 8-bit DLC field is written.
PDCM = 0: the LIN configuration is not stored in the WRITE buffer and it must be written by the user in the
LIN Mode register (US_LINMR).
The WRITE buffer also contains the Identifier and the DATA, if the USART sends the response (NACT =
PUBLISH).
The READ buffer contains the DATA if the USART receives the response (NACT = SUBSCRIBE).

32.7.8.16 Wake-up Request
Any node in a sleeping LIN cluster may request a wake-up.
In the LIN 2.0 specification, the wakeup request is issued by forcing the bus to the dominant state from 250 µs to
5 ms. For this, it is necessary to send the character 0xF0 in order to impose 5 successive dominant bits. Whatever
the baud rate is, this character respects the specified timings.
Baud rate min = 1 kbit/s -> tbit = 1ms -> 5 tbit = 5 ms
Baud rate max = 20 kbit/s -> tbit = 50 µs -> 5 tbit = 250 µs
In the LIN 1.3 specification, the wakeup request should be generated with the character 0x80 in order to impose 8
successive dominant bits.
The user can choose by the WKUPTYP bit in the LIN Mode register (US_LINMR) either to send a LIN 2.0 wakeup
request (WKUPTYP = 0) or to send a LIN 1.3 wakeup request (WKUPTYP = 1).
A wake-up request is transmitted by writing the Control Register (US_CR) with the LINWKUP bit at 1. Once the
transfer is completed, the LINTC flag is asserted in the Status Register (US_SR). It is cleared by writing the
Control Register (US_CR) with the RSTSTA bit at 1.
32.7.8.17 Bus Idle Time-out
If the LIN bus is inactive for a certain duration, the slave nodes shall automatically enter in sleep mode. In the LIN
2.0 specification, this time-out is fixed at 4 seconds. In the LIN 1.3 specification, it is fixed at 25,000 tbit.
In Slave Node configuration, the Receiver Time-out detects an idle condition on the RXD line. When a time-out is
detected, the bit TIMEOUT in the Channel Status Register (US_CSR) rises and can generate an interrupt, thus
indicating to the driver to go into sleep mode.
The time-out delay period (during which the receiver waits for a new character) is programmed in the TO field of
the Receiver Time-out Register (US_RTOR). If the TO field is programmed at 0, the Receiver Time-out is disabled
and no time-out is detected. The TIMEOUT bit in US_CSR remains at 0. Otherwise, the receiver loads a 17-bit
counter with the value programmed in TO. This counter is decremented at each bit period and reloaded each time
a new character is received. If the counter reaches 0, the TIMEOUT bit in the Status Register rises.
If STTTO is performed, the counter clock is stopped until a first character is received.
If RETTO is performed, the counter starts counting down immediately from the value TO.

32.7.9 Test Modes
The USART can be programmed to operate in three different test modes. The internal loopback capability allows
on-board diagnostics. In the loopback mode the USART interface pins are disconnected or not and reconfigured
for loopback internally or externally.

Normal mode connects the RXD pin on the receiver input and the transmitter output on the TXD pin.

32.7.9.2 Automatic Echo Mode
Automatic echo mode allows bit-by-bit retransmission. When a bit is received on the RXD pin, it is sent to the TXD
pin, as shown in Figure 32-56. Programming the transmitter has no effect on the TXD pin. The RXD pin is still
connected to the receiver input, thus the receiver remains active.

Synchronous Serial Controller (SSC)
33.1
Description
The Atmel Synchronous Serial Controller (SSC) provides a synchronous communication link with external devices.
It supports many serial synchronous communication protocols generally used in audio and telecom applications
such as I2S, Short Frame Sync, Long Frame Sync, etc.
The SSC contains an independent receiver and transmitter and a common clock divider. The receiver and the
transmitter each interface with three signals: the TD/RD signal for data, the TK/RK signal for the clock and the
TF/RF signal for the Frame Sync. The transfers can be programmed to start automatically or on different events
detected on the Frame Sync signal.
The SSC’s high-level of programmability and its two dedicated PDC channels of up to 32 bits permit a continuous
high bit rate data transfer without processor intervention.
The SSC’s high-level of programmability and its use of DMA permit a continuous high bit rate data transfer without
processor intervention.
Featuring connection to two PDC channels and connection to the DMA, the SSC permits interfacing with low
processor overhead to the following:

33.6.1 I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the compliant external devices may be multiplexed with PIO lines.
Before using the SSC receiver, the PIO controller must be configured to dedicate the SSC receiver I/O lines to the
SSC peripheral mode.
Before using the SSC transmitter, the PIO controller must be configured to dedicate the SSC transmitter I/O lines
to the SSC peripheral mode.

Functional Description
This chapter contains the functional description of the following: SSC Functional Block, Clock Management, Data
format, Start, Transmitter, Receiver and Frame Sync.
The receiver and transmitter operate separately. However, they can work synchronously by programming the
receiver to use the transmit clock and/or to start a data transfer when transmission starts. Alternatively, this can be
done by programming the transmitter to use the receive clock and/or to start a data transfer when reception starts.
The transmitter and the receiver can be programmed to operate with the clock signals provided on either the TK or
RK pins. This allows the SSC to support many slave-mode data transfers. The maximum clock speed allowed on
the TK and RK pins is the master clock divided by 2.

33.7.1 Clock Management
The transmitter clock can be generated by:
an external clock received on the TK I/O pad
the receiver clock
the internal clock divider
The receiver clock can be generated by:
an external clock received on the RK I/O pad
the transmitter clock
the internal clock divider
Furthermore, the transmitter block can generate an external clock on the TK I/O pad, and the receiver block can
generate an external clock on the RK I/O pad.
This allows the SSC to support many Master and Slave Mode data transfers.

The Master Clock divider is determined by the 12-bit field DIV counter and comparator (so its maximal value is
4095) in the Clock Mode Register SSC_CMR, allowing a Master Clock division by up to 8190. The Divided Clock is
provided to both the Receiver and Transmitter. When this field is programmed to 0, the Clock Divider is not used
and remains inactive.
When DIV is set to a value equal to or greater than 1, the Divided Clock has a frequency of Master Clock divided
by 2 times DIV. Each level of the Divided Clock has a duration of the Master Clock multiplied by DIV. This ensures
a 50% duty cycle for the Divided Clock regardless of whether the DIV value is even or odd.

33.7.1.2 Transmitter Clock Management
The transmitter clock is generated from the receiver clock or the divider clock or an external clock scanned on the
TK I/O pad. The transmitter clock is selected by the CKS field in SSC_TCMR (Transmit Clock Mode Register).
Transmit Clock can be inverted independently by the CKI bits in SSC_TCMR.
The transmitter can also drive the TK I/O pad continuously or be limited to the actual data transfer. The clock
output is configured by the SSC_TCMR. The Transmit Clock Inversion (CKI) bits have no effect on the clock
outputs. Programming the TCMR to select TK pin (CKS field) and at the same time Continuous Transmit Clock
(CKO field) might lead to unpredictable results.

33.7.1.3 Receiver Clock Management
The receiver clock is generated from the transmitter clock or the divider clock or an external clock scanned on the
RK I/O pad. The Receive Clock is selected by the CKS field in SSC_RCMR (Receive Clock Mode Register).
Receive Clocks can be inverted independently by the CKI bits in SSC_RCMR.
The receiver can also drive the RK I/O pad continuously or be limited to the actual data transfer. The clock output
is configured by the SSC_RCMR. The Receive Clock Inversion (CKI) bits have no effect on the clock outputs.
Programming the RCMR to select RK pin (CKS field) and at the same time Continuous Receive Clock (CKO field)
can lead to unpredictable results.

33.7.1.4 Serial Clock Ratio Considerations
The Transmitter and the Receiver can be programmed to operate with the clock signals provided on either the TK
or RK pins. This allows the SSC to support many slave-mode data transfers. In this case, the maximum clock
speed allowed on the RK pin is:
̶
Master Clock divided by 2 if Receiver Frame Synchro is input
̶
Master Clock divided by 3 if Receiver Frame Synchro is output
In addition, the maximum clock speed allowed on the TK pin is:
̶
̶
Master Clock divided by 6 if Transmit Frame Synchro is input
Master Clock divided by 2 if Transmit Frame Synchro is output
33.7.2 Transmitter Operations
A transmitted frame is triggered by a start event and can be followed by synchronization data before data
transmission.
The start event is configured by setting the Transmit Clock Mode Register (SSC_TCMR). See “Start” on page 660.
The frame synchronization is configured setting the Transmit Frame Mode Register (SSC_TFMR). See “Frame
Sync” on page 662.
To transmit data, the transmitter uses a shift register clocked by the transmitter clock signal and the start mode
selected in the SSC_TCMR. Data is written by the application to the SSC_THR then transferred to the shift register
according to the data format selected.
658
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]

When both the SSC_THR and the transmit shift register are empty, the status flag TXEMPTY is set in SSC_SR.
When the Transmit Holding register is transferred in the Transmit shift register, the status flag TXRDY is set in
SSC_SR and additional data can be loaded in the holding register.

33.7.3 Receiver Operations
A received frame is triggered by a start event and can be followed by synchronization data before data
transmission.
The start event is configured setting the Receive Clock Mode Register (SSC_RCMR). See “Start” on page 660.
The frame synchronization is configured setting the Receive Frame Mode Register (SSC_RFMR). See “Frame
Sync” on page 662.
The receiver uses a shift register clocked by the receiver clock signal and the start mode selected in the
SSC_RCMR. The data is transferred from the shift register depending on the data format selected.
When the receiver shift register is full, the SSC transfers this data in the holding register, the status flag RXRDY is
set in SSC_SR and the data can be read in the receiver holding register. If another transfer occurs before read of
the RHR, the status flag OVERUN is set in SSC_SR and the receiver shift register is transferred in the RHR.

33.7.4 Start
The transmitter and receiver can both be programmed to start their operations when an event occurs, respectively
in the Transmit Start Selection (START) field of SSC_TCMR and in the Receive Start Selection (START) field of
SSC_RCMR.
Under the following conditions the start event is independently programmable:
Continuous. In this case, the transmission starts as soon as a word is written in SSC_THR and the reception
starts as soon as the Receiver is enabled.
Synchronously with the transmitter/receiver
On detection of a falling/rising edge on TF/RF
On detection of a low level/high level on TF/RF
On detection of a level change or an edge on TF/RF
A start can be programmed in the same manner on either side of the Transmit/Receive Clock Register
(RCMR/TCMR). Thus, the start could be on TF (Transmit) or RF (Receive).
Moreover, the Receiver can start when data is detected in the bit stream with the Compare Functions.
Detection on TF/RF input/output is done by the field FSOS of the Transmit/Receive Frame Mode Register
(TFMR/RFMR).

33.7.5 Frame Sync
The Transmitter and Receiver Frame Sync pins, TF and RF, can be programmed to generate different kinds of
frame synchronization signals. The Frame Sync Output Selection (FSOS) field in the Receive Frame Mode
Register (SSC_RFMR) and in the Transmit Frame Mode Register (SSC_TFMR) are used to select the required
waveform.
Programmable low or high levels during data transfer are supported.
Programmable high levels before the start of data transfers or toggling are also supported.
If a pulse waveform is selected, the Frame Sync Length (FSLEN) field in SSC_RFMR and SSC_TFMR programs
the length of the pulse, from 1 bit time up to 256 bit time.
The periodicity of the Receive and Transmit Frame Sync pulse output can be programmed through the Period
Divider Selection (PERIOD) field in SSC_RCMR and SSC_TCMR.
33.7.5.1 Frame Sync Data
Frame Sync Data transmits or receives a specific tag during the Frame Sync signal.
During the Frame Sync signal, the Receiver can sample the RD line and store the data in the Receive Sync
Holding Register and the transmitter can transfer Transmit Sync Holding Register in the Shifter Register. The data
length to be sampled/shifted out during the Frame Sync signal is programmed by the FSLEN field in
SSC_RFMR/SSC_TFMR and has a maximum value of 16.
Concerning the Receive Frame Sync Data operation, if the Frame Sync Length is equal to or lower than the delay
between the start event and the actual data reception, the data sampling operation is performed in the Receive
Sync Holding Register through the Receive Shift Register.
The Transmit Frame Sync Operation is performed by the transmitter only if the bit Frame Sync Data Enable
(FSDEN) in SSC_TFMR is set. If the Frame Sync length is equal to or lower than the delay between the start event
and the actual data transmission, the normal transmission has priority and the data contained in the Transmit Sync
Holding Register is transferred in the Transmit Register, then shifted out.
33.7.5.2 Frame Sync Edge Detection
The Frame Sync Edge detection is programmed by the FSEDGE field in SSC_RFMR/SSC_TFMR. This sets the
corresponding flags RXSYN/TXSYN in the SSC Status Register (SSC_SR) on frame synchro edge detection
(signals RF/TF).

33.7.6.1 Compare Functions
Length of the comparison patterns (Compare 0, Compare 1) and thus the number of bits they are compared to is
defined by FSLEN, but with a maximum value of 16 bits. Comparison is always done by comparing the last bits
received with the comparison pattern. Compare 0 can be one start event of the Receiver. In this case, the receiver
compares at each new sample the last bits received at the Compare 0 pattern contained in the Compare 0

SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
Register (SSC_RC0R). When this start event is selected, the user can program the Receiver to start a new data
transfer either by writing a new Compare 0, or by receiving continuously until Compare 1 occurs. This selection is
done with the bit (STOP) in SSC_RCMR.
33.7.7 Data Format
The data framing format of both the transmitter and the receiver are programmable through the Transmitter Frame
Mode Register (SSC_TFMR) and the Receiver Frame Mode Register (SSC_RFMR). In either case, the user can
independently select:
the event that starts the data transfer (START)
the delay in number of bit periods between the start event and the first data bit (STTDLY)
the length of the data (DATLEN)
the number of data to be transferred for each start event (DATNB).
the length of synchronization transferred for each start event (FSLEN)
the bit sense: most or lowest significant bit first (MSBF)
Additionally, the transmitter can be used to transfer synchronization and select the level driven on the TD pin while
not in data transfer operation. This is done respectively by the Frame Sync Data Enable (FSDEN) and by the Data
Default Value (DATDEF) bits in SSC_TFMR.

33.7.9 Interrupt
Most bits in SSC_SR have a corresponding bit in interrupt management registers.
The SSC can be programmed to generate an interrupt when it detects an event. The interrupt is controlled by
writing SSC_IER (Interrupt Enable Register) and SSC_IDR (Interrupt Disable Register) These registers enable
and disable, respectively, the corresponding interrupt by setting and clearing the corresponding bit in SSC_IMR
(Interrupt Mask Register), which controls the generation of interrupts by asserting the SSC interrupt line connected
to the AIC.

• STTDLY: Receive Start Delay
If STTDLY is not 0, a delay of STTDLY clock cycles is inserted between the start event and the actual start of reception.
When the Receiver is programmed to start synchronously with the Transmitter, the delay is also applied.
Note: It is very important that STTDLY be set carefully. If STTDLY must be set, it should be done in relation to TAG
(Receive Sync Data) reception.
• PERIOD: Receive Period Divider Selection
This field selects the divider to apply to the selected Receive Clock in order to generate a new Frame Sync Signal. If 0, no
PERIOD signal is generated. If not 0, a PERIOD signal is generated each 2 x (PERIOD+1) Receive Clock.

• DATLEN: Data Length
0: Forbidden value (1-bit data length not supported).
Any other value: The bit stream contains DATLEN + 1 data bits. Moreover, it defines the transfer size performed by the
PDC assigned to the Receiver. If DATLEN is lower or equal to 7, data transfers are in bytes. If DATLEN is between 8 and
15 (included), half-words are transferred, and for any other value, 32-bit words are transferred.
• LOOP: Loop Mode
0: Normal operating mode.
1: RD is driven by TD, RF is driven by TF and TK drives RK.
• MSBF: Most Significant Bit First
0: The lowest significant bit of the data register is sampled first in the bit stream.
1: The most significant bit of the data register is sampled first in the bit stream.
• DATNB: Data Number per Frame
This field defines the number of data words to be received after each transfer start, which is equal to (DATNB + 1).
• FSLEN: Receive Frame Sync Length
This field defines the number of bits sampled and stored in the Receive Sync Data Register. When this mode is selected by
the START field in the Receive Clock Mode Register, it also determines the length of the sampled data to be compared to
the Compare 0 or Compare 1 register.
This field is used with FSLEN_EXT to determine the pulse length of the Receive Frame Sync signal.
Pulse length is equal to FSLEN + (FSLEN_EXT * 16) + 1 Receive Clock periods.

• STTDLY: Transmit Start Delay
If STTDLY is not 0, a delay of STTDLY clock cycles is inserted between the start event and the actual start of transmission
of data. When the Transmitter is programmed to start synchronously with the Receiver, the delay is also applied.
Note: STTDLY must be set carefully. If STTDLY is too short in respect to TAG (Transmit Sync Data) emission, data is emitted instead of the end of TAG.
• PERIOD: Transmit Period Divider Selection
This field selects the divider to apply to the selected Transmit Clock to generate a new Frame Sync Signal. If 0, no period
signal is generated. If not 0, a period signal is generated at each 2 x (PERIOD+1) Transmit Clock.

Ethernet MAC 10/100 (EMAC)
34.1
Description
The EMAC module implements a 10/100 Ethernet MAC compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard using an
address checker, statistics and control registers, receive and transmit blocks, and a DMA interface.
The address checker recognizes four specific 48-bit addresses and contains a 64-bit hash register for matching
multicast and unicast addresses. It can recognize the broadcast address of all ones, copy all frames, and act on an
external address match signal.
The statistics register block contains registers for counting various types of event associated with transmit and
receive operations. These registers, along with the status words stored in the receive buffer list, enable software to
generate network management statistics compatible with IEEE 802.3.

Functional Description
The MACB has several clock domains:
System bus clock (AHB and APB): DMA and register blocks
Transmit clock: transmit block
Receive clock: receive and address checker block
The system bus clock must run at least as fast as the receive clock and transmit clock (25 MHz at 100 Mbps, and
2.5 MHZ at 10 Mbps).
Figure 34-1 illustrates the different blocks of the EMAC module.
The control registers drive the MDIO interface, set up up DMA activity, start frame transmission and select modes
of operation such as full- or half-duplex.
The receive block checks for valid preamble, FCS, alignment and length, and presents received frames to the
address checking block and DMA interface.
The transmit block takes data from the DMA interface, adds preamble and, if necessary, pad and FCS, and
transmits data according to the CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with collision detect) protocol. The start
of transmission is deferred if CRS (carrier sense) is active.
If COL (collision) becomes active during transmission, a jam sequence is asserted and the transmission is retried
after a random back off. CRS and COL have no effect in full duplex mode.
The DMA block connects to external memory through its AHB bus interface. It contains receive and transmit FIFOs
for buffering frame data. It loads the transmit FIFO and empties the receive FIFO using AHB bus master
operations. Receive data is not sent to memory until the address checking logic has determined that the frame
should be copied. Receive or transmit frames are stored in one or more buffers. Receive buffers have a fixed
length of 128 bytes. Transmit buffers range in length between 0 and 2047 bytes, and up to 128 buffers are
permitted per frame. The DMA block manages the transmit and receive framebuffer queues. These queues can
hold multiple frames.
34.4.1 Clock
Synchronization module in the EMAC requires that the bus clock (hclk) runs at the speed of the macb_tx/rx_clk at
least, which is 25 MHz at 100 Mbps, and 2.5 MHz at 10 Mbps.
34.4.2 Memory Interface
Frame data is transferred to and from the EMAC through the DMA interface. All transfers are 32-bit words and may
be single accesses or bursts of 2, 3 or 4 words. Burst accesses do not cross sixteen-byte boundaries. Bursts of 4
words are the default data transfer; single accesses or bursts of less than four words may be used to transfer data
at the beginning or the end of a buffer.
The DMA controller performs six types of operation on the bus. In order of priority, these are:
1.
Receive buffer manager write
2.
Receive buffer manager read
3.
Transmit data DMA read
4.
Receive data DMA write
5.
Transmit buffer manager read
6.
Transmit buffer manager write
34.4.2.1 FIFO
The FIFO depths are 128 bytes for receive and 128 bytes for transmit and are a function of the system clock speed,
memory latency and network speed.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
695
Data is typically transferred into and out of the FIFOs in bursts of four words. For receive, a bus request is asserted
when the FIFO contains four words and has space for 28 more. For transmit, a bus request is generated when
there is space for four words, or when there is space for 27 words if the next transfer is to be only one or two
words.
Thus the bus latency must be less than the time it takes to load the FIFO and transmit or receive three words (112
bytes) of data.
At 100 Mbit/s, it takes 8960 ns to transmit or receive 112 bytes of data. In addition, six master clock cycles should
be allowed for data to be loaded from the bus and to propagate through the FIFOs. For a 133 MHz master clock
this takes 45 ns, making the bus latency requirement 8915 ns.
34.4.2.2 Receive Buffers
Received frames, including CRC/FCS optionally, are written to receive buffers stored in memory. Each receive
buffer is 128 bytes long. The start location for each receive buffer is stored in memory in a list of receive buffer
descriptors at a location pointed to by the receive buffer queue pointer register. The receive buffer start location is
a word address. For the first buffer of a frame, the start location can be offset by up to three bytes depending on
the value written to bits 14 and 15 of the network configuration register. If the start location of the buffer is offset the
available length of the first buffer of a frame is reduced by the corresponding number of bytes.
Each list entry consists of two words, the first being the address of the receive buffer and the second being the
receive status. If the length of a receive frame exceeds the buffer length, the status word for the used buffer is
written with zeroes except for the “start of frame” bit and the offset bits, if appropriate. Bit zero of the address field
is written to one to show the buffer has been used. The receive buffer manager then reads the location of the next
receive buffer and fills that with receive frame data. The final buffer descriptor status word contains the complete
frame status. Refer to Table 34-1 for details of the receive buffer descriptor list.

Updated with the current values of the network configuration register. If jumbo frame mode is enabled through bit 3 of the
network configuration register, then bits 13:12 of the receive buffer descriptor entry are used to indicate bits 13:12 of the
frame length.
11:0
Length of frame including FCS (if selected). Bits 13:12 are also used if jumbo frame mode is selected.
To receive frames, the buffer descriptors must be initialized by writing an appropriate address to bits 31 to 2 in the
first word of each list entry. Bit zero must be written with zero. Bit one is the wrap bit and indicates the last entry in
the list.
The start location of the receive buffer descriptor list must be written to the receive buffer queue pointer register
before setting the receive enable bit in the network control register to enable receive. As soon as the receive block
starts writing received frame data to the receive FIFO, the receive buffer manager reads the first receive buffer
location pointed to by the receive buffer queue pointer register.
If the filter block then indicates that the frame should be copied to memory, the receive data DMA operation starts
writing data into the receive buffer. If an error occurs, the buffer is recovered. If the current buffer pointer has its
wrap bit set or is the 1024th descriptor, the next receive buffer location is read from the beginning of the receive
descriptor list. Otherwise, the next receive buffer location is read from the next word in memory.
There is an 11-bit counter to count out the 2048 word locations of a maximum length, receive buffer descriptor list.
This is added with the value originally written to the receive buffer queue pointer register to produce a pointer into
the list. A read of the receive buffer queue pointer register returns the pointer value, which is the queue entry
currently being accessed. The counter is reset after receive status is written to a descriptor that has its wrap bit set
or rolls over to zero after 1024 descriptors have been accessed. The value written to the receive buffer pointer
register may be any word-aligned address, provided that there are at least 2048 word locations available between
the pointer and the top of the memory.
Section 3.6 of the AMBA 2.0 specification states that bursts should not cross 1K boundaries. As receive buffer
manager writes are bursts of two words, to ensure that this does not occur, it is best to write the pointer register
with the least three significant bits set to zero. As receive buffers are used, the receive buffer manager sets bit zero
of the first word of the descriptor to indicate used. If a receive error is detected the receive buffer currently being
written is recovered. Previous buffers are not recovered. Software should search through the used bits in the buffer
descriptors to find out how many frames have been received. It should be checking the start-of-frame and end-offrame bits, and not rely on the value returned by the receive buffer queue pointer register which changes
continuously as more buffers are used.
For CRC errored frames, excessive length frames or length field mismatched frames, all of which are counted in
the statistics registers, it is possible that a frame fragment might be stored in a sequence of receive buffers.
Software can detect this by looking for start of frame bit set in a buffer following a buffer with no end of frame bit
set.
For a properly working Ethernet system, there should be no excessively long frames or frames greater than 128
bytes with CRC/FCS errors. Collision fragments are less than 128 bytes long. Therefore, it is a rare occurrence to
find a frame fragment in a receive buffer.

Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
697
If bit zero is set when the receive buffer manager reads the location of the receive buffer, then the buffer has
already been used and cannot be used again until software has processed the frame and cleared bit zero. In this
case, the DMA block sets the buffer not available bit in the receive status register and triggers an interrupt.
If bit zero is set when the receive buffer manager reads the location of the receive buffer and a frame is being
received, the frame is discarded and the receive resource error statistics register is incremented.
A receive overrun condition occurs when bus was not granted in time or because HRESP was not OK (bus error).
In a receive overrun condition, the receive overrun interrupt is asserted and the buffer currently being written is
recovered. The next frame received with an address that is recognized reuses the buffer.
If bit 17 of the network configuration register is set, the FCS of received frames shall not be copied to memory. The
frame length indicated in the receive status field shall be reduced by four bytes in this case.
34.4.2.3 Transmit Buffer
Frames to be transmitted are stored in one or more transmit buffers. Transmit buffers can be between 0 and 2047
bytes long, so it is possible to transmit frames longer than the maximum length specified in IEEE Standard 802.3.
Zero length buffers are allowed. The maximum number of buffers permitted for each transmit frame is 128.
The start location for each transmit buffer is stored in memory in a list of transmit buffer descriptors at a location
pointed to by the transmit buffer queue pointer register. Each list entry consists of two words, the first being the
byte address of the transmit buffer and the second containing the transmit control and status. Frames can be
transmitted with or without automatic CRC generation. If CRC is automatically generated, pad is also automatically
generated to take frames to a minimum length of 64 bytes. Table 34-2 on page 699 defines an entry in the transmit
buffer descriptor list. To transmit frames, the buffer descriptors must be initialized by writing an appropriate byte
address to bits 31 to 0 in the first word of each list entry. The second transmit buffer descriptor is initialized with
control information that indicates the length of the buffer, whether or not it is to be transmitted with CRC and
whether the buffer is the last buffer in the frame.
After transmission, the control bits are written back to the second word of the first buffer along with the “used” bit
and other status information. Bit 31 is the “used” bit which must be zero when the control word is read if
transmission is to happen. It is written to one when a frame has been transmitted. Bits 27, 28 and 29 indicate
various transmit error conditions. Bit 30 is the “wrap” bit which can be set for any buffer within a frame. If no wrap
bit is encountered after 1024 descriptors, the queue pointer rolls over to the start in a similar fashion to the receive
queue.
The transmit buffer queue pointer register must not be written while transmit is active. If a new value is written to
the transmit buffer queue pointer register, the queue pointer resets itself to point to the beginning of the new
queue. If transmit is disabled by writing to bit 3 of the network control, the transmit buffer queue pointer register
resets to point to the beginning of the transmit queue. Note that disabling receive does not have the same effect on
the receive queue pointer.
Once the transmit queue is initialized, transmit is activated by writing to bit 9, the Transmit Start bit of the network
control register. Transmit is halted when a buffer descriptor with its used bit set is read, or if a transmit error occurs,
or by writing to the transmit halt bit of the network control register. (Transmission is suspended if a pause frame is
received while the pause enable bit is set in the network configuration register.) Rewriting the start bit while
transmission is active is allowed.
Transmission control is implemented with a Tx_go variable which is readable in the transmit status register at bit
location 3. The Tx_go variable is reset when:
698
̶
transmit is disabled
̶
a buffer descriptor with its ownership bit set is read
̶
a new value is written to the transmit buffer queue pointer register
̶
bit 10, tx_halt, of the network control register is written
̶
there is a transmit error such as too many retries or a transmit underrun.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
To set tx_go, write to bit 9, tx_start, of the network control register. Transmit halt does not take effect until any
ongoing transmit finishes. If a collision occurs during transmission of a multi-buffer frame, transmission
automatically restarts from the first buffer of the frame. If a “used” bit is read midway through transmission of a
multi-buffer frame, this is treated as a transmit error. Transmission stops, tx_er is asserted and the FCS is bad.
If transmission stops due to a transmit error, the transmit queue pointer resets to point to the beginning of the
transmit queue. Software needs to re-initialize the transmit queue after a transmit error.
If transmission stops due to a “used” bit being read at the start of the frame, the transmission queue pointer is not
reset and transmit starts from the same transmit buffer descriptor when the transmit start bit is written.

34.4.3 Transmit Block
This block transmits frames in accordance with the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD protocol. Frame assembly
starts by adding preamble and the start frame delimiter. Data is taken from the transmit FIFO a word at a time.
Data is transmitted least significant nibble first. If necessary, padding is added to increase the frame length to 60
bytes. CRC is calculated as a 32-bit polynomial. This is inverted and appended to the end of the frame, taking the
frame length to a minimum of 64 bytes. If the No CRC bit is set in the second word of the last buffer descriptor of a
transmit frame, neither pad nor CRC are appended.
In full-duplex mode, frames are transmitted immediately. Back-to-back frames are transmitted at least 96 bit times
apart to guarantee the interframe gap.
In half-duplex mode, the transmitter checks carrier sense. If asserted, it waits for it to de-assert and then starts
transmission after the interframe gap of 96 bit times. If the collision signal is asserted during transmission, the
transmitter transmits a jam sequence of 32 bits taken from the data register and then retry transmission after the
back off time has elapsed.
The back-off time is based on an XOR of the 10 least significant bits of the data coming from the transmit FIFO and
a 10-bit pseudo random number generator. The number of bits used depends on the number of collisions seen.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
699
After the first collision, 1 bit is used, after the second 2, and so on up to 10. Above 10, all 10 bits are used. An error
is indicated and no further attempts are made if 16 attempts cause collisions.
If transmit DMA underruns, bad CRC is automatically appended using the same mechanism as jam insertion and
the tx_er signal is asserted. For a properly configured system, this should never happen.
If the back pressure bit is set in the network control register in half duplex mode, the transmit block transmits 64
bits of data, which can consist of 16 nibbles of 1011 or in bit-rate mode 64 1s, whenever it sees an incoming frame
to force a collision. This provides a way of implementing flow control in half-duplex mode.
34.4.4 Pause Frame Support
The start of an 802.3 pause frame is as follows:
Table 34-3.
Start of an 802.3 Pause Frame
Destination Address
Source Address
Type (Mac Control Frame)
Pause Opcode
Pause Time
0x0180C2000001
6 bytes
0x8808
0x0001
2 bytes
The network configuration register contains a receive pause enable bit (13). If a valid pause frame is received, the
pause time register is updated with the frame’s pause time, regardless of its current contents and regardless of the
state of the configuration register bit 13. An interrupt (12) is triggered when a pause frame is received, assuming it
is enabled in the interrupt mask register. If bit 13 is set in the network configuration register and the value of the
pause time register is non-zero, no new frame is transmitted until the pause time register has decremented to zero.
The loading of a new pause time, and hence the pausing of transmission, only occurs when the EMAC is
configured for full-duplex operation. If the EMAC is configured for half-duplex, there is no transmission pause, but
the pause frame received interrupt is still triggered.
A valid pause frame is defined as having a destination address that matches either the address stored in specific
address register 1 or matches 0x0180C2000001 and has the MAC control frame type ID of 0x8808 and the pause
opcode of 0x0001. Pause frames that have FCS or other errors are treated as invalid and are discarded. Valid
pause frames received increment the Pause Frame Received statistic register.
The pause time register decrements every 512 bit times (i.e., 128 rx_clks in nibble mode) once transmission
has stopped. For test purposes, the register decrements every rx_clk cycle once transmission has stopped if bit
12 (retry test) is set in the network configuration register. If the pause enable bit (13) is not set in the network
configuration register, then the decrementing occurs regardless of whether transmission has stopped or not.
An interrupt (13) is asserted whenever the pause time register decrements to zero (assuming it is enabled in the
interrupt mask register).
34.4.5 Receive Block
The receive block checks for valid preamble, FCS, alignment and length, presents received frames to the DMA
block and stores the frames destination address for use by the address checking block. If, during frame reception,
the frame is found to be too long or rx_er is asserted, a bad frame indication is sent to the DMA block. The DMA
block then ceases sending data to memory. At the end of frame reception, the receive block indicates to the DMA
block whether the frame is good or bad. The DMA block recovers the current receive buffer if the frame was bad.
The receive block signals the register block to increment the alignment error, the CRC (FCS) error, the short
frame, long frame, jabber error, the receive symbol error statistics and the length field mismatch statistics.
The enable bit for jumbo frames in the network configuration register allows the EMAC to receive jumbo frames of
up to 10240 bytes in size. This operation does not form part of the IEEE802.3 specification and is disabled by
default. When jumbo frames are enabled, frames received with a frame size greater than 10240 bytes are
discarded.

SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
34.4.6 Address Checking Block
The address checking (or filter) block indicates to the DMA block which receive frames should be copied to
memory. Whether a frame is copied depends on what is enabled in the network configuration register, the state of
the external match pin, the contents of the specific address and hash registers and the frame’s destination
address. In this implementation of the EMAC, the frame’s source address is not checked. Provided that bit 18 of
the Network Configuration register is not set, a frame is not copied to memory if the EMAC is transmitting in half
duplex mode at the time a destination address is received. If bit 18 of the Network Configuration register is set,
frames can be received while transmitting in half-duplex mode.
Ethernet frames are transmitted a byte at a time, least significant bit first. The first six bytes (48 bits) of an Ethernet
frame make up the destination address. The first bit of the destination address, the LSB of the first byte of the
frame, is the group/individual bit: this is One for multicast addresses and Zero for unicast. The All Ones address is
the broadcast address, and a special case of multicast.
The EMAC supports recognition of four specific addresses. Each specific address requires two registers, specific
address register bottom and specific address register top. Specific address register bottom stores the first four
bytes of the destination address and specific address register top contains the last two bytes. The addresses
stored can be specific, group, local or universal.
The destination address of received frames is compared against the data stored in the specific address registers
once they have been activated. The addresses are deactivated at reset or when their corresponding specific
address register bottom is written. They are activated when specific address register top is written. If a receive
frame address matches an active address, the frame is copied to memory.
The following example illustrates the use of the address match registers for a MAC address of 21:43:65:87:A9:CB.

The sequence above shows the beginning of an Ethernet frame. Byte order of transmission is from top to bottom

Base address + 0x98 0x87654321 (Bottom)
Base address + 0x9C 0x0000CBA9 (Top)
And for a successful match to the Type ID register, the following should be set up:

34.4.7 Broadcast Address
The broadcast address of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF is recognized if the ‘no broadcast’ bit in the network configuration
register is zero.
34.4.8 Hash Addressing
The hash address register is 64 bits long and takes up two locations in the memory map. The least significant bits
are stored in hash register bottom and the most significant bits in hash register top.
The unicast hash enable and the multicast hash enable bits in the network configuration register enable the
reception of hash matched frames. The destination address is reduced to a 6-bit index into the 64-bit hash register
using the following hash function. The hash function is an exclusive or of every sixth bit of the destination address.
hash_index[5] = da[5] ^ da[11] ^ da[17] ^ da[23] ^ da[29] ^ da[35] ^ da[41] ^ da[47]
hash_index[4] = da[4] ^ da[10] ^ da[16] ^ da[22] ^ da[28] ^ da[34] ^ da[40] ^ da[46]
hash_index[3] = da[3] ^ da[09] ^ da[15] ^ da[21] ^ da[27] ^ da[33] ^ da[39] ^ da[45]
hash_index[2] = da[2] ^ da[08] ^ da[14] ^ da[20] ^ da[26] ^ da[32] ^ da[38] ^ da[44]
hash_index[1] = da[1] ^ da[07] ^ da[13] ^ da[19] ^ da[25] ^ da[31] ^ da[37] ^ da[43]
hash_index[0] = da[0] ^ da[06] ^ da[12] ^ da[18] ^ da[24] ^ da[30] ^ da[36] ^ da[42]
da[0] represents the least significant bit of the first byte received, that is, the multicast/unicast indicator, and
da[47] represents the most significant bit of the last byte received.
If the hash index points to a bit that is set in the hash register, then the frame is matched according to whether the
frame is multicast or unicast.
A multicast match is signalled if the multicast hash enable bit is set. da[0] is 1 and the hash index points to a bit set
in the hash register.
A unicast match is signalled if the unicast hash enable bit is set. da[0] is 0 and the hash index points to a bit set in
the hash register.
To receive all multicast frames, the hash register should be set with all ones and the multicast hash enable bit
should be set in the network configuration register.
34.4.9 Copy All Frames (or Promiscuous Mode)
If the copy all frames bit is set in the network configuration register, then all non-errored frames are copied to
memory. For example, frames that are too long, too short, or have FCS errors or rx_er asserted during reception
are discarded and all others are received. Frames with FCS errors are copied to memory if bit 19 in the network
configuration register is set.
34.4.10 Type ID Checking
The contents of the type_id register are compared against the length/type ID of received frames (i.e., bytes 13 and
14). Bit 22 in the receive buffer descriptor status is set if there is a match. The reset state of this register is zero
which is unlikely to match the length/type ID of any valid Ethernet frame.
Note:
702
A type ID match does not affect whether a frame is copied to memory.

34.4.11 VLAN Support
An Ethernet encoded 802.1Q VLAN tag looks like this:
Table 34-4.
802.1Q VLAN Tag
TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier) 16 bits
TCI (Tag Control Information) 16 bits
0x8100
First 3 bits priority, then CFI bit, last 12 bits VID
The VLAN tag is inserted at the 13th byte of the frame, adding an extra four bytes to the frame. If the VID (VLAN
identifier) is null (0x000), this indicates a priority-tagged frame. The MAC can support frame lengths up to 1536
bytes, 18 bytes more than the original Ethernet maximum frame length of 1518 bytes. This is achieved by setting
bit 8 in the network configuration register.
The following bits in the receive buffer descriptor status word give information about VLAN tagged frames:
Bit 21 set if receive frame is VLAN tagged (i.e., type id of 0x8100)
Bit 20 set if receive frame is priority tagged (i.e., type id of 0x8100 and null VID). (If bit 20 is set, bit 21 is set
also.)
Bit 19, 18 and 17 set to priority if bit 21 is set
Bit 16 set to CFI if bit 21 is set
34.4.12 Wake-on-LAN Support
The receive block supports Wake-on-LAN by detecting the following events on incoming receive frames:
Magic packet
ARP request to the device IP address
Specific address 1 filter match
Multicast hash filter match
If one of these events occurs Wake-on-LAN detection is indicated by asserting the wol output pin for 64 rx_clk
cycles. These events can be individually enabled through bits[19:16] of the Wake-on-LAN register. Also, for Wakeon-LAN detection to occur, receive enable must be set in the network control register, however a receive buffer
does not have to be available. wol assertion due to ARP request, specific address 1 or multicast filter events
occurs even if the frame is errored. For magic packet events, the frame must be correctly formed and error free.
A magic packet event is detected if all of the following are true:
magic packet events are enabled through bit 16 of the Wake-on-LAN register
the frame’s destination address matches specific address 1
the frame is correctly formed with no errors
the frame contains at least 6 bytes of 0xFF for synchronization
there are 16 repetitions of the contents of specific address 1 register immediately following the
synchronization
An ARP request event is detected if all of the following are true:
ARP request events are enabled through bit 17 of the Wake-on-LAN register
broadcasts are allowed by bit 5 in the network configuration register
the frame has a broadcast destination address (bytes 1 to 6)
the frame has a type ID field of 0x0806 (bytes 13 and 14)
the frame has an ARP operation field of 0x0001 (bytes 21 and 22)
the least significant 16 bits of the frame’s ARP target protocol address (bytes 41 and 42) match the value
programmed in bits[15:0] of the Wake-on-LAN register
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
703
The decoding of the ARP fields adjusts automatically if a VLAN tag is detected within the frame. The reserved
value of 0x0000 for the Wake-on-LAN target address value does not cause an ARP request event, even if
matched by the frame.
A specific address 1 filter match event occurs if all of the following are true:
specific address 1 events are enabled through bit 18 of the Wake-on-LAN register
the frame’s destination address matches the value programmed in the specific address 1 registers
A multicast filter match event occurs if all of the following are true:
multicast hash events are enabled through bit 19 of the Wake-on-LAN register
multicast hash filtering is enabled through bit 6 of the network configuration register
the frame’s destination address matches against the multicast hash filter
the frame’s destination address is not a broadcast
34.4.13 PHY Maintenance
The register EMAC_MAN enables the EMAC to communicate with a PHY by means of the MDIO interface. It is
used during auto-negotiation to ensure that the EMAC and the PHY are configured for the same speed and duplex
configuration.
The PHY maintenance register is implemented as a shift register. Writing to the register starts a shift operation
which is signalled as complete when bit two is set in the network status register (about 2000 MCK cycles later
when bit ten is set to zero, and bit eleven is set to one in the network configuration register). An interrupt is
generated as this bit is set. During this time, the MSB of the register is output on the MDIO pin and the LSB
updated from the MDIO pin with each MDC cycle. This causes transmission of a PHY management frame on
MDIO.
Reading during the shift operation returns the current contents of the shift register. At the end of management
operation, the bits have shifted back to their original locations. For a read operation, the data bits are updated with
data read from the PHY. It is important to write the correct values to the register to ensure a valid PHY
management frame is produced.
The MDIO interface can read IEEE 802.3 clause 45 PHYs as well as clause 22 PHYs. To read clause 45 PHYs,
bits[31:28] should be written as 0x0011. For a description of MDC generation, see the network configuration
register in the “Network Control Register” on page 710.
34.4.14 Media Independent Interface
The Ethernet MAC is capable of interfacing to both RMII and MII Interfaces. The RMII bit in the EMAC_USRIO
register controls the interface that is selected. When this bit is set, the RMII interface is selected, else the MII
interface is selected.
The MII and RMII interface are capable of both 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s data rates as described in the IEEE 802.3u
standard. The signals used by the MII and RMII interfaces are described in Table 34-5 on page 705.

The intent of the RMII is to provide a reduced pin count alternative to the IEEE 802.3u MII. It uses 2 bits for
transmit (ETX0 and ETX1) and two bits for receive (ERX0 and ERX1). There is a Transmit Enable (ETXEN), a
Receive Error (ERXER), a Carrier Sense (ECRS_DV), and a 50 MHz Reference Clock (ETXCK_EREFCK) for
100Mb/s data rate.
34.4.14.1 RMII Transmit and Receive Operation
The same signals are used internally for both the RMII and the MII operations. The RMII maps these signals in a
more pin-efficient manner. The transmit and receive bits are converted from a 4-bit parallel format to a 2-bit parallel
scheme that is clocked at twice the rate. The carrier sense and data valid signals are combined into the ECRSDV
signal. This signal contains information on carrier sense, FIFO status, and validity of the data. Transmit error bit
(ETXER) and collision detect (ECOL) are not used in RMII mode.
34.5
Programming Interface
34.5.1 Initialization
34.5.1.1 Configuration
Initialization of the EMAC configuration (e.g., loop-back mode, frequency ratios) must be done while the transmit
and receive circuits are disabled. See the description of the network control register and network configuration
register earlier in this document.
To change loop-back mode, the following sequence of operations must be followed:
1.
Allocate a number (n) of buffers of 128 bytes in system memory.
2.
Write to network control register to change loop-back mode.
3.
Write to network control register to re-enable transmit or receive circuits.
Note:
These writes to network control register cannot be combined in any way.
34.5.1.2 Receive Buffer List
Receive data is written to areas of data (i.e., buffers) in system memory. These buffers are listed in another data
structure that also resides in main memory. This data structure (receive buffer queue) is a sequence of descriptor
entries as defined in “Receive Buffer Descriptor Entry” on page 696. It points to this data structure.

(In memory)
To create the list of buffers:
1.
Allocate a number (n) of buffers of 128 bytes in system memory.
2.
Allocate an area 2n words for the receive buffer descriptor entry in system memory and create n entries in
this list. Mark all entries in this list as owned by EMAC, i.e., bit 0 of word 0 set to 0.
3.
If less than 1024 buffers are defined, the last descriptor must be marked with the wrap bit (bit 1 in word 0 set
to 1).
4.
Write address of receive buffer descriptor entry to EMAC register receive_buffer queue pointer.
5.
The receive circuits can then be enabled by writing to the address recognition registers and then to the
network control register.
34.5.1.3 Transmit Buffer List
Transmit data is read from areas of data (the buffers) in system memory These buffers are listed in another data
structure that also resides in main memory. This data structure (Transmit Buffer Queue) is a sequence of
descriptor entries (as defined in Table 34-2 on page 699) that points to this data structure.
To create this list of buffers:
1.
Allocate a number (n) of buffers of 128 bytes in system memory.
2.
Allocate an area 2n words for the transmit buffer descriptor entry in system memory and create N entries in
this list. Mark all entries in this list as owned by EMAC, i.e. bit 31 of word 1 set to 0.
3.
If fewer than 1024 buffers are defined, the last descriptor must be marked with the wrap bit — bit 30 in word
1 set to 1.
4.
Write address of transmit buffer descriptor entry to EMAC register transmit_buffer queue pointer.
5.
The transmit circuits can then be enabled by writing to the network control register.
34.5.1.4 Address Matching
The EMAC register-pair hash address and the four specific address register-pairs must be written with the required
values. Each register-pair comprises a bottom register and top register, with the bottom register being written first.
The address matching is disabled for a particular register-pair after the bottom-register has been written and reenabled when the top register is written. See “Address Checking Block” on page 701. for details of address
matching. Each register-pair may be written at any time, regardless of whether the receive circuits are enabled or
disabled.

34.5.1.5 Interrupts
There are 15 interrupt conditions that are detected within the EMAC. These are ORed to make a single interrupt.
Depending on the overall system design, this may be passed through a further level of interrupt collection (interrupt
controller). On receipt of the interrupt signal, the CPU enters the interrupt handler (Refer to the AIC programmer
datasheet). To ascertain which interrupt has been generated, read the interrupt status register. Note that this
register clears itself when read. At reset, all interrupts are disabled. To enable an interrupt, write to interrupt enable
register with the pertinent interrupt bit set to 1. To disable an interrupt, write to interrupt disable register with the
pertinent interrupt bit set to 1. To check whether an interrupt is enabled or disabled, read interrupt mask register: if
the bit is set to 1, the interrupt is disabled.
34.5.1.6 Transmitting Frames
To set up a frame for transmission:
1.
Allocate a number (n) of buffers of 128 bytes in system memory.
2.
Allocate an area of system memory for transmit data. This does not have to be contiguous, varying byte
lengths can be used as long as they conclude on byte borders.
3.
Set-up the transmit buffer list.
4.
Set the network control register to enable transmission and enable interrupts.
5.
Write data for transmission into these buffers.
6.
Write the address to transmit buffer descriptor queue pointer.
7.
Write control and length to word one of the transmit buffer descriptor entry.
8.
Write to the transmit start bit in the network control register.
34.5.1.7 Receiving Frames
When a frame is received and the receive circuits are enabled, the EMAC checks the address and, in the following
cases, the frame is written to system memory:
if it matches one of the four specific address registers.
if it matches the hash address function.
if it is a broadcast address (0xFFFFFFFFFFFF) and broadcasts are allowed.
if the EMAC is configured to copy all frames.
The register receive buffer queue pointer points to the next entry (see Table 34-1 on page 696) and the EMAC
uses this as the address in system memory to write the frame to. Once the frame has been completely and
successfully received and written to system memory, the EMAC then updates the receive buffer descriptor entry
with the reason for the address match and marks the area as being owned by software. Once this is complete an
interrupt receive complete is set. Software is then responsible for handling the data in the buffer and then releasing
the buffer by writing the ownership bit back to 0.
If the EMAC is unable to write the data at a rate to match the incoming frame, then an interrupt receive overrun is
set. If there is no receive buffer available, i.e., the next buffer is still owned by software, the interrupt receive buffer
not available is set. If the frame is not successfully received, a statistic register is incremented and the frame is
discarded without informing software.

• LLB: Loopback local
Connects txd to rxd, tx_en to rx_dv, forces full duplex and drives rx_clk and tx_clk with pclk divided by 4.
rx_clk and tx_clk may glitch as the EMAC is switched into and out of internal loop back. It is important that receive
and transmit circuits have already been disabled when making the switch into and out of internal loop back.
• RE: Receive enable
When set, enables the EMAC to receive data. When reset, frame reception stops immediately and the receive FIFO is
cleared. The receive queue pointer register is unaffected.
• TE: Transmit enable
When set, enables the Ethernet transmitter to send data. When reset transmission, stops immediately, the transmit FIFO
and control registers are cleared and the transmit queue pointer register resets to point to the start of the transmit descriptor list.
• MPE: Management port enable
Set to one to enable the management port. When zero, forces MDIO to high impedance state and MDC low.
• CLRSTAT: Clear statistics registers
This bit is write only. Writing a one clears the statistics registers.
• INCSTAT: Increment statistics registers
This bit is write only. Writing a one increments all the statistics registers by one for test purposes.
• WESTAT: Write enable for statistics registers
Setting this bit to one makes the statistics registers writable for functional test purposes.
• BP: Back pressure
If set in half duplex mode, forces collisions on all received frames.

• RTY: Retry test
Must be set to zero for normal operation. If set to one, the back off between collisions is always one slot time. Setting this
bit to one helps testing the too many retries condition. Also used in the pause frame tests to reduce the pause counters
decrement time from 512 bit times, to every rx_clk cycle.
• PAE: Pause Enable
When set, transmission pauses when a valid pause frame is received.
• RBOF: Receive Buffer Offset
Indicates the number of bytes by which the received data is offset from the start of the first receive buffer.
RBOF
Offset
00
No offset from start of receive buffer
01
One-byte offset from start of receive buffer
10
Two-byte offset from start of receive buffer
11
Three-byte offset from start of receive buffer
• RLCE: Receive Length field Checking Enable
When set, frames with measured lengths shorter than their length fields are discarded. Frames containing a type ID in
bytes 13 and 14 — length/type ID = 0600 — are not be counted as length errors.
• DRFCS: Discard Receive FCS
When set, the FCS field of received frames are not be copied to memory.
• EFRHD:
Enable Frames to be received in half-duplex mode while transmitting.
• IRXFCS: Ignore RX FCS
When set, frames with FCS/CRC errors are not rejected and no FCS error statistics are counted. For normal operation, this
bit must be set to 0.

This register, when read, provides details of the status of a transmit. Once read, individual bits may be cleared by writing 1
to them. It is not possible to set a bit to 1 by writing to the register.
• UBR: Used Bit Read
Set when a transmit buffer descriptor is read with its used bit set. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• COL: Collision Occurred
Set by the assertion of collision. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• RLE: Retry Limit exceeded
Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• TGO: Transmit Go
If high transmit is active.
• BEX: Buffers exhausted mid frame
If the buffers run out during transmission of a frame, then transmission stops, FCS shall be bad and tx_er asserted.
Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• COMP: Transmit Complete
Set when a frame has been transmitted. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• UND: Transmit Underrun
Set when transmit DMA was not able to read data from memory, either because the bus was not granted in time, because
a not OK hresp(bus error) was returned or because a used bit was read midway through frame transmission. If this
occurs, the transmitter forces bad CRC. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.

This register points to the entry in the receive buffer queue (descriptor list) currently being used. It is written with the start
location of the receive buffer descriptor list. The lower order bits increment as buffers are used up and wrap to their original
values after either 1024 buffers or when the wrap bit of the entry is set.
Reading this register returns the location of the descriptor currently being accessed. This value increments as buffers are
used. Software should not use this register for determining where to remove received frames from the queue as it constantly changes as new frames are received. Software should instead work its way through the buffer descriptor queue
checking the used bits.
Receive buffer writes also comprise bursts of two words and, as with transmit buffer reads, it is recommended that bit 2 is
always written with zero to prevent a burst crossing a 1K boundary, in violation of section 3.6 of the AMBA specification.
• ADDR: Receive buffer queue pointer address
Written with the address of the start of the receive queue, reads as a pointer to the current buffer being used.

This register points to the entry in the transmit buffer queue (descriptor list) currently being used. It is written with the start
location of the transmit buffer descriptor list. The lower order bits increment as buffers are used up and wrap to their original values after either 1024 buffers or when the wrap bit of the entry is set. This register can only be written when bit 3 in
the transmit status register is low.
As transmit buffer reads consist of bursts of two words, it is recommended that bit 2 is always written with zero to prevent a
burst crossing a 1K boundary, in violation of section 3.6 of the AMBA specification.
• ADDR: Transmit buffer queue pointer address
Written with the address of the start of the transmit queue, reads as a pointer to the first buffer of the frame being transmitted or about to be transmitted.

This register, when read, provides details of the status of a receive. Once read, individual bits may be cleared by writing 1
to them. It is not possible to set a bit to 1 by writing to the register.
• BNA: Buffer Not Available
An attempt was made to get a new buffer and the pointer indicated that it was owned by the processor. The DMA rereads
the pointer each time a new frame starts until a valid pointer is found. This bit is set at each attempt that fails even if it has
not had a successful pointer read since it has been cleared.
Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• REC: Frame Received
One or more frames have been received and placed in memory. Cleared by writing a one to this bit.
• OVR: Receive Overrun
The DMA block was unable to store the receive frame to memory, either because the bus was not granted in time or
because a not OK hresp(bus error) was returned. The buffer is recovered if this happens.
Cleared by writing a one to this bit.

34.6.27 EMAC Statistic Registers
These registers reset to zero on a read and stick at all ones when they count to their maximum value. They should be read
frequently enough to prevent loss of data. The receive statistics registers are only incremented when the receive enable bit
is set in the network control register. To write to these registers, bit 7 must be set in the network control register. The statistics register block contains the following registers.

RSE
• RSE: Receive Symbol Errors
An 8-bit register counting the number of frames that had rx_er asserted during reception. Receive symbol errors are also
counted as an FCS or alignment error if the frame is between 64 and 1518 bytes in length (1536 if bit 8 is set in the network
configuration register). If the frame is larger, it is recorded as a jabber error.

High Speed Multimedia Card Interface (HSMCI)
35.1
Description
The High Speed Multimedia Card Interface (HSMCI) supports the MultiMedia Card (MMC) Specification V4.3, the
SD Memory Card Specification V2.0, the SDIO V2.0 specification and CE-ATA V1.1.
The HSMCI includes a command register, response registers, data registers, timeout counters and error detection
logic that automatically handle the transmission of commands and, when required, the reception of the associated
responses and data with a limited processor overhead.
The HSMCI supports stream, block and multi block data read and write, and is compatible with the DMA Controller
(DMAC), minimizing processor intervention for large buffer transfers.
The HSMCI operates at a rate of up to Master Clock divided by 2 and supports the interfacing of 1 slot(s). Each
slot may be used to interface with a High Speed MultiMediaCard bus (up to 30 Cards) or with an SD Memory Card.
Only one slot can be selected at a time (slots are multiplexed). A bit field in the SD Card Register performs this
selection.
The SD Memory Card communication is based on a 9-pin interface (clock, command, four data and three power
lines) and the High Speed MultiMedia Card on a 7-pin interface (clock, command, one data, three power lines and
one reserved for future use).
The SD Memory Card interface also supports High Speed MultiMedia Card operations. The main differences
between SD and High Speed MultiMedia Cards are the initialization process and the bus topology.
HSMCI fully supports CE-ATA Revision 1.1, built on the MMC System Specification v4.0. The module includes
dedicated hardware to issue the command completion signal and capture the host command completion signal
disable.

When the HSMCI is configured to operate with SD memory cards, the width of the data bus can be selected in the
HSMCI SDCard/SDIO Register (HSMCI_SDCR). Clearing the SDCBUS bit in this register means that the width is
one bit; setting it means that the width is four bits. In the case of High Speed MultiMedia cards, only the data line 0
is used. The other data lines can be used as independent PIOs.
35.8
High Speed MultiMediaCard Operations
After a power-on reset, the cards are initialized by a special message-based High Speed MultiMediaCard bus
protocol. Each message is represented by one of the following tokens:
Command: A command is a token that starts an operation. A command is sent from the host either to a
single card (addressed command) or to all connected cards (broadcast command). A command is
transferred serially on the CMD line.
Response: A response is a token which is sent from an addressed card or (synchronously) from all
connected cards to the host as an answer to a previously received command. A response is transferred
serially on the CMD line.
Data: Data can be transferred from the card to the host or vice versa. Data is transferred via the data line.
Card addressing is implemented using a session address assigned during the initialization phase by the bus
controller to all currently connected cards. Their unique CID number identifies individual cards.
The structure of commands, responses and data blocks is described in the High Speed MultiMedia-Card System
Specification. See also Table 35-6 on page 770.
High Speed MultiMediaCard bus data transfers are composed of these tokens.
There are different types of operations. Addressed operations always contain a command and a response token.
In addition, some operations have a data token; the others transfer their information directly within the command or
response structure. In this case, no data token is present in an operation. The bits on the DAT and the CMD lines
are transferred synchronous to the clock HSMCI Clock.
Two types of data transfer commands are defined:
Sequential commands: These commands initiate a continuous data stream. They are terminated only when
a stop command follows on the CMD line. This mode reduces the command overhead to an absolute
minimum.
Block-oriented commands: These commands send a data block succeeded by CRC bits.
Both read and write operations allow either single or multiple block transmission. A multiple block transmission is
terminated when a stop command follows on the CMD line similarly to the sequential read or when a multiple block
transmission has a pre-defined block count (See “Data Transfer Operation” on page 773.).
The HSMCI provides a set of registers to perform the entire range of High Speed MultiMedia Card operations.

Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
769
35.8.1
Command - Response Operation
After reset, the HSMCI is disabled and becomes valid after setting the MCIEN bit in the HSMCI Control Register
(HSMCI_CR).
The PWSEN bit saves power by dividing the HSMCI clock by 2PWSDIV + 1 when the bus is inactive.
The two bits, RDPROOF and WRPROOF in the HSMCI Mode Register (HSMCI_MR) allow stopping the HSMCI
Clock during read or write access if the internal FIFO is full. This will guarantee data integrity, not bandwidth.
All the timings for High Speed MultiMedia Card are defined in the High Speed MultiMediaCard System
Specification.
The two bus modes (open drain and push/pull) needed to process all the operations are defined in the HSMCI
Command Register (HSMCI_CMDR). The HSMCI_CMDR allows a command to be carried out.
For example, to perform an ALL_SEND_CID command:

The HSMCI Argument Register (HSMCI_ARGR) contains the argument field of the command.
To send a command, the user must perform the following steps:
Fill the HSMCI_ARGR with the command argument.
Set the HSMCI_CMDR (see Table 35-7).
The command is sent immediately after writing the HSMCI_CMDR.
While the card maintains a busy indication (at the end of a STOP_TRANSMISSION command CMD12, for
example), a new command shall not be sent. The NOTBUSY flag in the HSMCI Status Register (HSMCI_SR) is
asserted when the card releases the busy indication.
770
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
If the command requires a response, it can be read in the HSMCI Response Register (HSMCI_RSPR). The
response size can be from 48 bits up to 136 bits depending on the command. The HSMCI embeds an error
detection to prevent any corrupted data during the transfer.
The following flowchart shows how to send a command to the card and read the response if needed. In this
example, the status register bits are polled but setting the appropriate bits in the HSMCI Interrupt Enable Register
(HSMCI_IER) allows using an interrupt method.

35.8.2
Data Transfer Operation
The High Speed MultiMedia Card allows several read/write operations (single block, multiple blocks, stream, etc.).
These kinds of transfer can be selected setting the Transfer Type (TRTYP) field in the HSMCI Command Register
(HSMCI_CMDR).
These operations can be done using the features of the DMA Controller.
In all cases, the block length (BLKLEN field) must be defined either in the HSMCI_MR, or in the HSMCI Block
Register (HSMCI_BLKR). This field determines the size of the data block.
Consequent to MMC Specification 3.1, two types of multiple block read (or write) transactions are defined (the host
can use either one at any time):
Open-ended/Infinite Multiple block read (or write):
The number of blocks for the read (or write) multiple block operation is not defined. The card will
continuously transfer (or program) data blocks until a stop transmission command is received.
Multiple block read (or write) with pre-defined block count (since version 3.1 and higher):
The card will transfer (or program) the requested number of data blocks and terminate the transaction. The
stop command is not required at the end of this type of multiple block read (or write), unless terminated with
an error. In order to start a multiple block read (or write) with pre-defined block count, the host must correctly
program the HSMCI_BLKR, otherwise, the card will start an open-ended multiple block read. The BCNT field
of the HSMCI_BLKR defines the number of blocks to transfer (from 1 to 65535 blocks). Programming the
value 0 in the BCNT field corresponds to an infinite block transfer.
35.8.3
Read Operation
The following flowchart (Figure 35-8) shows how to read a single block with or without use of DMAC facilities. In
this example, a polling method is used to wait for the end of read. Similarly, the user can configure the HSMCI_IER
to trigger an interrupt at the end of read.

37.5.8 Handling Transactions with USB V2.0 Device Peripheral
37.5.8.1 Setup Transaction
The setup packet is valid in the DPR while RX_SETUP is set. Once RX_SETUP is cleared by the application, the
UDPHS accepts the next packets sent over the device endpoint.
When a valid setup packet is accepted by the UDPHS:
the UDPHS device automatically acknowledges the setup packet (sends an ACK response)
payload data is written in the endpoint
sets the RX_SETUP interrupt
the BYTE_COUNT field in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is updated
An endpoint interrupt is generated while RX_SETUP in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is not cleared. This
interrupt is carried out to the microcontroller if interrupts are enabled for this endpoint.
Thus, firmware must detect RX_SETUP polling UDPHS_EPTSTAx or catching an interrupt, read the setup packet
in the FIFO, then clear the RX_SETUP bit in the UDPHS_EPTCLRSTA register to acknowledge the setup stage.
If STALL_SNT was set to 1, then this bit is automatically reset when a setup token is detected by the device. Then,
the device still accepts the setup stage. (See Section 37.5.8.5 “STALL” on page 847).
37.5.8.2 NYET
NYET is a High Speed only handshake. It is returned by a High Speed endpoint as part of the PING protocol.
High Speed devices must support an improved NAK mechanism for Bulk OUT and control endpoints (except setup
stage). This mechanism allows the device to tell the host whether it has sufficient endpoint space for the next OUT
transfer (see USB 2.0 spec 8.5.1 NAK Limiting via Ping Flow Control).
The NYET/ACK response to a High Speed Bulk OUT transfer and the PING response are automatically handled
by hardware in the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register (except when the user wants to force a NAK response by using the
NYET_DIS bit).
If the endpoint responds instead to the OUT/DATA transaction with an NYET handshake, this means that the
endpoint accepted the data but does not have room for another data payload. The host controller must return to
using a PING token until the endpoint indicates it has space available.

37.5.8.3 Data IN
Bulk IN or Interrupt IN
Data IN packets are sent by the device during the data or the status stage of a control transfer or during an
(interrupt/bulk/isochronous) IN transfer. Data buffers are sent packet by packet under the control of the application
or under the control of the DMA channel.
There are three ways for an application to transfer a buffer in several packets over the USB:
packet by packet (see below)
64 Kbyte (see below)
DMA (see below)
Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Packet Under Application Control (Device to Host)
The application can write one or several banks.
A simple algorithm can be used by the application to send packets regardless of the number of banks associated
to the endpoint.
Algorithm Description for Each Packet:
The application waits for TX_PK_RDY flag to be cleared in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register before it can
perform a write access to the DPR.
The application writes one USB packet of data in the DPR through the 64 Kbyte endpoint logical memory
window.
The application sets TX_PK_RDY flag in the UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.
The application is notified that it is possible to write a new packet to the DPR by the TX_PK_RDY interrupt. This
interrupt can be enabled or masked by setting the TX_PK_RDY bit in the
UDPHS_EPTCTLENB/UDPHS_EPTCTLDIS register.
Algorithm Description to Fill Several Packets:
Using the previous algorithm, the application is interrupted for each packet. It is possible to reduce the application
overhead by writing linearly several banks at the same time. The AUTO_VALID bit in the UDPHS_EPTCTLx must
be set by writing the AUTO_VALID bit in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx register.
The auto-valid-bank mechanism allows the transfer of data (IN and OUT) without the intervention of the CPU. This
means that bank validation (set TX_PK_RDY or clear the RX_BK_RDY bit) is done by hardware.
The application checks the BUSY_BANK_STA field in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register. The application must
wait that at least one bank is free.
The application writes a number of bytes inferior to the number of free DPR banks for the endpoint. Each
time the application writes the last byte of a bank, the TX_PK_RDY signal is automatically set by the
UDPHS.
If the last packet is incomplete (i.e., the last byte of the bank has not been written) the application must set
the TX_PK_RDY bit in the UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.
The application is notified that all banks are free, so that it is possible to write another burst of packets by the
BUSY_BANK interrupt. This interrupt can be enabled or masked by setting the BUSY_BANK flag in the
UDPHS_EPTCTLENB and UDPHS_EPTCTLDIS registers.
This algorithm must not be used for isochronous transfer. In this case, the ping-pong mechanism does not operate.
A Zero Length Packet can be sent by setting just the TX_PKTRDY flag in the UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.

SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Buffer Using DMA (Device to Host)
The UDPHS integrates a DMA host controller. This DMA controller can be used to transfer a buffer from the
memory to the DPR or from the DPR to the processor memory under the UDPHS control. The DMA can be used
for all transfer types except control transfer.
Example DMA configuration:
1.
Program UDPHS_DMAADDRESS x with the address of the buffer that should be transferred.
2.
Enable the interrupt of the DMA in UDPHS_IEN
3.
Program UDPHS_ DMACONTROLx:
̶
Size of buffer to send: size of the buffer to be sent to the host.
̶
END_B_EN: The endpoint can validate the packet (according to the values programmed in the
AUTO_VALID and SHRT_PCKT fields of UDPHS_EPTCTLx.) (See “UDPHS Endpoint Control
Register” on page 872 and Figure 37-12. Autovalid with DMA)
̶
̶
END_BUFFIT: generate an interrupt when the BUFF_COUNT in UDPHS_DMASTATUSx reaches 0.
CHANN_ENB: Run and stop at end of buffer
The auto-valid-bank mechanism allows the transfer of data (IN & OUT) without the intervention of the CPU. This
means that bank validation (set TX_PK_RDY or clear the RX_BK_RDY bit) is done by hardware.
A transfer descriptor can be used. Instead of programming the register directly, a descriptor should be
programmed and the address of this descriptor is then given to UDPHS_DMANXTDSC to be processed after
setting the LDNXT_DSC field (Load Next Descriptor Now) in UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register.
The structure that defines this transfer descriptor must be aligned.
Each buffer to be transferred must be described by a DMA Transfer descriptor (see “UDPHS DMA Channel
Transfer Descriptor” on page 882). Transfer descriptors are chained. Before executing transfer of the buffer, the
UDPHS may fetch a new transfer descriptor from the memory address pointed by the UDPHS_DMANXTDSCx
register. Once the transfer is complete, the transfer status is updated in the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register.
To chain a new transfer descriptor with the current DMA transfer, the DMA channel must be stopped. To do so,
INTDIS_DMA and TX_BK_RDY may be set in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx register. It is also possible for the
application to wait for the completion of all transfers. In this case the LDNXT_DSC field in the last transfer
descriptor UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register must be set to 0 and CHANN_ENB set to 1.
Then the application can chain a new transfer descriptor.
The INTDIS_DMA can be used to stop the current DMA transfer if an enabled interrupt is triggered. This can be
used to stop DMA transfers in case of errors.
The application can be notified at the end of any buffer transfer (ENB_BUFFIT bit in the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx
register).

Before proceeding to the status stage, the software should determine that there is no risk of extra data from
the host (data stage). If not certain (non-predictable data stage length), then the software should wait for a
NAK-IN interrupt before proceeding to the status stage. This precaution should be taken to avoid collision
in the FIFO.

Note: In the illustration above Autovalid validates a bank as full, although this might not be the case, in order to continue processing
data and to send to DMA.
Isochronous IN
Isochronous-IN is used to transmit a stream of data whose timing is implied by the delivery rate. Isochronous
transfer provides periodic, continuous communication between host and device.
It guarantees bandwidth and low latencies appropriate for telephony, audio, video, etc.
If the endpoint is not available (TX_PK_RDY = 0), then the device does not answer to the host. An ERR_FL_ISO
interrupt is generated in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register and once enabled, then sent to the CPU.
The STALL_SNT command bit is not used for an ISO-IN endpoint.
High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint Handling: IN Example
For high bandwidth isochronous endpoints, the DMA can be programmed with the number of transactions
(BUFF_LENGTH field in UDPHS_DMACONTROLx) and the system should provide the required number of
packets per microframe, otherwise, the host will notice a sequencing problem.
842
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
A response should be made to the first token IN recognized inside a microframe under the following conditions:
If at least one bank has been validated, the correct DATAx corresponding to the programmed Number Of
Transactions per Microframe (NB_TRANS) should be answered. In case of a subsequent missed or
corrupted token IN inside the microframe, the USB 2.0 Core available data bank(s) that should normally
have been transmitted during that microframe shall be flushed at its end. If this flush occurs, an error
condition is flagged (ERR_FLUSH is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx).
If no bank is validated yet, the default DATA0 ZLP is answered and underflow is flagged (ERR_FL_ISO is set
in UDPHS_EPTSTAx). Then, no data bank is flushed at microframe end.
If no data bank has been validated at the time when a response should be made for the second transaction
of NB_TRANS = 3 transactions microframe, a DATA1 ZLP is answered and underflow is flagged
(ERR_FL_ISO is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx). If and only if remaining untransmitted banks for that microframe
are available at its end, they are flushed and an error condition is flagged (ERR_FLUSH is set in
UDPHS_EPTSTAx).
If no data bank has been validated at the time when a response should be made for the last programmed
transaction of a microframe, a DATA0 ZLP is answered and underflow is flagged (ERR_FL_ISO is set in
UDPHS_EPTSTAx). If and only if the remaining untransmitted data bank for that microframe is available at
its end, it is flushed and an error condition is flagged (ERR_FLUSH is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx).
If at the end of a microframe no valid token IN has been recognized, no data bank is flushed and no error
condition is reported.
At the end of a microframe in which at least one data bank has been transmitted, if less than NB_TRANS banks
have been validated for that microframe, an error condition is flagged (ERR_TRANS is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx).
Cases of Error (in UDPHS_EPTSTAx)
ERR_FL_ISO: There was no data to transmit inside a microframe, so a ZLP is answered by default.
ERR_FLUSH: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the number of token IN received
is lesser than the number of transactions actually validated (TX_BK_RDY) and likewise with the NB_TRANS
programmed.
ERR_TRANS: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the number of token IN received
is lesser than the number of programmed NB_TRANS transactions and the packets not requested were not
validated.
ERR_FL_ISO + ERR_FLUSH: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the data has not
been validated in time to answer one of the following token IN.
ERR_FL_ISO + ERR_TRANS: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the data has
not been validated in time to answer one of the following token IN and the data can be discarded at the
microframe end.
ERR_FLUSH + ERR_TRANS: The first token IN has been answered and it was the only one received, a
second bank has been validated but not the third, whereas NB_TRANS was waiting for three transactions.
ERR_FL_ISO + ERR_FLUSH + ERR_TRANS: The first token IN has been treated, the data for the second
Token IN was not available in time, but the second bank has been validated before the end of the
microframe. The third bank has not been validated, but three transactions have been set in NB_TRANS.
37.5.8.4 Data OUT
Bulk OUT or Interrupt OUT
Like data IN, data OUT packets are sent by the host during the data or the status stage of control transfer or during
an interrupt/bulk/isochronous OUT transfer. Data buffers are sent packet by packet under the control of the
application or under the control of the DMA channel.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
843
Bulk OUT or Interrupt OUT: Receiving a Packet Under Application Control (Host to Device)
Algorithm Description for Each Packet:
The application enables an interrupt on RX_BK_RDY.
When an interrupt on RX_BK_RDY is received, the application knows that UDPHS_EPTSTAx register
BYTE_COUNT bytes have been received.
The application reads the BYTE_COUNT bytes from the endpoint.
The application clears RX_BK_RDY.
Note:
If the application does not know the size of the transfer, it may not be a good option to use AUTO_VALID.
Because if a zero-length-packet is received, the RX_BK_RDY is automatically cleared by the
AUTO_VALID hardware and if the endpoint interrupt is triggered, the software will not find its originating
flag when reading the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register.
Algorithm to Fill Several Packets:
The application enables the interrupts of BUSY_BANK and AUTO_VALID.
When a BUSY_BANK interrupt is received, the application knows that all banks available for the endpoint
have been filled. Thus, the application can read all banks available.
If the application does not know the size of the receive buffer, instead of using the BUSY_BANK interrupt, the
application must use RX_BK_RDY.
Bulk OUT or Interrupt OUT: Sending a Buffer Using DMA (Host To Device)
To use the DMA setting, the AUTO_VALID field is mandatory.
See Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Buffer Using DMA (Device to Host) for more information.
DMA Configuration Example:
1.
First program UDPHS_DMAADDRESSx with the address of the buffer that should be transferred.
2.
Enable the interrupt of the DMA in UDPHS_IEN
3.
Program the DMA Channelx Control Register:
̶
Size of buffer to be sent.
̶
END_B_EN: Can be used for OUT packet truncation (discarding of unbuffered packet data) at the end
of DMA buffer.
̶
END_BUFFIT: Generate an interrupt when BUFF_COUNT in the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register
reaches 0.
̶
END_TR_EN: End of transfer enable, the UDPHS device can put an end to the current DMA transfer,
in case of a short packet.
̶
END_TR_IT: End of transfer interrupt enable, an interrupt is sent after the last USB packet has been
transferred by the DMA, if the USB transfer ended with a short packet. (Beneficial when the receive
size is unknown.)
̶
CHANN_ENB: Run and stop at end of buffer.
For OUT transfer, the bank will be automatically cleared by hardware when the application has read all the bytes in
the bank (the bank is empty).
844
Note:
When a zero-length-packet is received, RX_BK_RDY bit in UDPHS_EPTSTAx is cleared automatically by
AUTO_VALID, and the application knows of the end of buffer by the presence of the END_TR_IT.
Note:
If the host sends a zero-length packet, and the endpoint is free, then the device sends an ACK. No data is
written in the endpoint, the RX_BY_RDY interrupt is generated, and the BYTE_COUNT field in
UDPHS_EPTSTAx is null.

USB 2.0 supports individual High Speed isochronous endpoints that require data rates up to 192 Mb/s (24 MB/s):
3x1024 data bytes per microframe.
To support such a rate, two or three banks may be used to buffer the three consecutive data packets. The
microcontroller (or the DMA) should be able to empty the banks very rapidly (at least 24 MB/s on average).
NB_TRANS field in UDPHS_EPTCFGx register = Number Of Transactions per Microframe.

Isochronous Endpoint Handling: OUT Example
The user can ascertain the bank status (free or busy), and the toggle sequencing of the data packet for each bank
with the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register in the three bit fields as follows:
TOGGLESQ_STA: PID of the data stored in the current bank
CURRENT_BANK: Number of the bank currently being accessed by the microcontroller.
BUSY_BANK_STA: Number of busy bank
This is particularly useful in case of a missing data packet.
If the inter-packet delay between the OUT token and the Data is greater than the USB standard, then the ISO-OUT
transaction is ignored. (Payload data is not written, no interrupt is generated to the CPU.)
If there is a data CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error, the payload is, none the less, written in the endpoint. The
ERR_CRISO flag is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx register.
If the endpoint is already full, the packet is not written in the DPRAM. The ERR_FL_ISO flag is set in
UDPHS_EPTSTAx.
If the payload data is greater than the maximum size of the endpoint, then the ERR_OVFLW flag is set. It is the
task of the CPU to manage this error. The data packet is written in the endpoint (except the extra data).
846
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
If the host sends a Zero Length Packet, and the endpoint is free, no data is written in the endpoint, the
RX_BK_RDY flag is set, and the BYTE_COUNT field in UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is null.
The FRCESTALL command bit is unused for an isochonous endpoint.
Otherwise, payload data is written in the endpoint, the RX_BK_RDY interrupt is generated and the BYTE_COUNT
in UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is updated.
37.5.8.5 STALL
STALL is returned by a function in response to an IN token or after the data phase of an OUT or in response to a
PING transaction. STALL indicates that a function is unable to transmit or receive data, or that a control pipe
request is not supported.
OUT
To stall an endpoint, set the FRCESTALL bit in UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register and after the STALL_SNT flag has
been set, set the TOGGLE_SEG bit in the UDPHS_EPTCLRSTAx register.
IN
Set the FRCESTALL bit in UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.

37.5.9 Speed Identification
The high speed reset is managed by the hardware.
At the connection, the host makes a reset which could be a classic reset (full speed) or a high speed reset.
At the end of the reset process (full or high), the ENDRESET interrupt is generated.
Then the CPU should read the SPEED bit in UDPHS_INTSTAx to ascertain the speed mode of the device.

37.5.12 Power Modes
37.5.12.1 Controlling Device States
A USB device has several possible states. Refer to Chapter 9 (USB Device Framework) of the Universal Serial
Bus Specification, Rev 2.0.

Bus Activity
Movement from one state to another depends on the USB bus state or on standard requests sent through control
transactions via the default endpoint (endpoint 0).
After a period of bus inactivity, the USB device enters Suspend Mode. Accepting Suspend/Resume requests from
the USB host is mandatory. Constraints in Suspend Mode are very strict for bus-powered applications; devices
may not consume more than 500 µA on the USB bus.
While in Suspend Mode, the host may wake up a device by sending a resume signal (bus activity) or a USB device
may send a wake-up request to the host, e.g., waking up a PC by moving a USB mouse.
The wake-up feature is not mandatory for all devices and must be negotiated with the host.
850
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
37.5.12.2 Not Powered State
Self powered devices can detect 5V VBUS using a PIO. When the device is not connected to a host, device power
consumption can be reduced by the DETACH bit in UDPHS_CTRL. Disabling the transceiver is automatically
done. HSDM, HSDP, FSDP and FSDP lines are tied to GND pull-downs integrated in the hub downstream ports.
37.5.12.3 Entering Attached State
When no device is connected, the USB FSDP and FSDM signals are tied to GND by 15 KΩ pull-downs integrated
in the hub downstream ports. When a device is attached to a hub downstream port, the device connects a 1.5 KΩ
pull-up on FSDP. The USB bus line goes into IDLE state, FSDP is pulled-up by the device 1.5 KΩ resistor to 3.3V
and FSDM is pulled-down by the 15 KΩ resistor to GND of the host.
After pull-up connection, the device enters the powered state. The transceiver remains disabled until bus activity is
detected.
In case of low power consumption need, the device can be stopped. When the device detects the VBUS, the
software must enable the USB transceiver by enabling the EN_UDPHS bit in UDPHS_CTRL register.
The software can detach the pull-up by setting DETACH bit in UDPHS_CTRL register.
37.5.12.4 From Powered State to Default State (Reset)
After its connection to a USB host, the USB device waits for an end-of-bus reset. The unmasked flag ENDRESET
is set in the UDPHS_IEN register and an interrupt is triggered.
Once the ENDRESET interrupt has been triggered, the device enters Default State. In this state, the UDPHS
software must:
Enable the default endpoint, setting the EPT_ENABL flag in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENB[0] register and,
optionally, enabling the interrupt for endpoint 0 by writing 1 in EPT_0 of the UDPHS_IEN register. The
enumeration then begins by a control transfer.
Configure the Interrupt Mask Register which has been reset by the USB reset detection
Enable the transceiver.
In this state, the EN_UDPHS bit in UDPHS_CTRL register must be enabled.
37.5.12.5 From Default State to Address State (Address Assigned)
After a Set Address standard device request, the USB host peripheral enters the address state.
Warning: before the device enters address state, it must achieve the Status IN transaction of the control transfer,
i.e., the UDPHS device sets its new address once the TX_COMPLT flag in the UDPHS_EPTCTL[0] register has
been received and cleared.
To move to address state, the driver software sets the DEV_ADDR field and the FADDR_EN flag in the
UDPHS_CTRL register.
37.5.12.6 From Address State to Configured State (Device Configured)
Once a valid Set Configuration standard request has been received and acknowledged, the device enables
endpoints corresponding to the current configuration. This is done by setting the BK_NUMBER, EPT_TYPE,
EPT_DIR and EPT_SIZE fields in the UDPHS_EPTCFGx registers and enabling them by setting the EPT_ENABL
flag in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx registers, and, optionally, enabling corresponding interrupts in the UDPHS_IEN
register.
37.5.12.7 Entering Suspend State (Bus Activity)
When a Suspend (no bus activity on the USB bus) is detected, the DET_SUSPD signal in the UDPHS_STA
register is set. This triggers an interrupt if the corresponding bit is set in the UDPHS_IEN register. This flag is
cleared by writing to the UDPHS_CLRINT register. Then the device enters Suspend Mode.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
851
In this state bus powered devices must drain less than 500 µA from the 5V VBUS. As an example, the
microcontroller switches to slow clock, disables the PLL and main oscillator, and goes into Idle Mode. It may also
switch off other devices on the board.
The UDPHS device peripheral clocks can be switched off. Resume event is asynchronously detected.
37.5.12.8 Receiving a Host Resume
In Suspend mode, a resume event on the USB bus line is detected asynchronously, transceiver and clocks
disabled (however the pull-up should not be removed).
Once the resume is detected on the bus, the signal WAKE_UP in the UDPHS_INTSTA is set. It may generate an
interrupt if the corresponding bit in the UDPHS_IEN register is set. This interrupt may be used to wake-up the core,
enable PLL and main oscillators and configure clocks.
37.5.12.9 Sending an External Resume
In Suspend State it is possible to wake-up the host by sending an external resume.
The device waits at least 5 ms after being entered in Suspend State before sending an external resume.
The device must force a K state from 1 to 15 ms to resume the host.
37.5.13 Test Mode
A device must support the TEST_MODE feature when in the Default, Address or Configured High Speed device
states.
TEST_MODE can be:
Test_J
Test_K
Test_Packet
Test_SEO_NAK
(See Section 37.6.7 “UDPHS Test Register” on page 864 for definitions of each test mode.)

• OPMODE2: OpMode2
Read and write:
0: No effect.
1: Set to force the OpMode signal (UTMI interface) to “10”, to disable the bit-stuffing and the NRZI encoding.
Note: For the Test mode, Test_SE0_NAK (see Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 2.0: 7.1.20, Test Mode Support). Force the device in High Speed mode, and configure a bulk-type endpoint. Do not fill this endpoint for sending NAK
to the host.
Upon command, a port’s transceiver must enter the High Speed receive mode and remain in that mode until the exit action
is taken. This enables the testing of output impedance, low level output voltage and loading characteristics. In addition,
while in this mode, upstream facing ports (and only upstream facing ports) must respond to any IN token packet with a
NAK handshake (only if the packet CRC is determined to be correct) within the normal allowed device response time. This
enables testing of the device squelch level circuitry and, additionally, provides a general purpose stimulus/response test for
basic functional testing.

• EPT_ENABL: Endpoint Enable
0: If cleared, the endpoint is disabled according to the device configuration. Endpoint 0 should always be enabled after a
hardware or UDPHS bus reset and participate in the device configuration.
1: If set, the endpoint is enabled according to the device configuration.
• AUTO_VALID: Packet Auto-Valid Enabled (Not for CONTROL Endpoints)
Set this bit to automatically validate the current packet and switch to the next bank for both IN and OUT endpoints.
For IN Transfer:
If this bit is set, then the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register TX_PK_RDY bit is set automatically when the current bank is full
and at the end of DMA buffer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit is set.
The user may still set the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register TX_PK_RDY bit if the current bank is not full, unless the user
wants to send a Zero Length Packet by software.
For OUT Transfer:
If this bit is set, then the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register RX_BK_RDY bit is automatically reset for the current bank when
the last packet byte has been read from the bank FIFO or at the end of DMA buffer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx
register END_B_EN bit is set. For example, to truncate a padded data packet when the actual data transfer size is
reached.
The user may still clear the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register RX_BK_RDY bit, for example, after completing a DMA buffer
by software if UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit was disabled or in order to cancel the read of the
remaining data bank(s).
• INTDIS_DMA: Interrupt Disables DMA
If set, when an enabled endpoint-originated interrupt is triggered, the DMA request is disabled regardless of the
UDPHS_IEN register EPT_x bit for this endpoint. Then, the firmware will have to clear or disable the interrupt source or
clear this bit if transfer completion is needed.
If the exception raised is associated with the new system bank packet, then the previous DMA packet transfer is normally
completed, but the new DMA packet transfer is not started (not requested).
872
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
If the exception raised is not associated to a new system bank packet (NAK_IN, NAK_OUT, ERR_FL_ISO...), then the
request cancellation may happen at any time and may immediately stop the current DMA transfer.
This may be used, for example, to identify or prevent an erroneous packet to be transferred into a buffer or to complete a
DMA buffer by software after reception of a short packet, or to perform buffer truncation on ERR_FL_ISO interrupt for
adaptive rate.
• NYET_DIS: NYET Disable (Only for High Speed Bulk OUT endpoints)
0: If clear, this bit lets the hardware handle the handshake response for the High Speed Bulk OUT transfer.
1: If set, this bit forces an ACK response to the next High Speed Bulk OUT transfer instead of a NYET response.
Note: According to the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 2.0 (8.5.1.1 NAK Responses to OUT/DATA During PING Protocol), a
NAK response to an HS Bulk OUT transfer is expected to be an unusual occurrence.
• DATAX_RX: DATAx Interrupt Enabled (Only for High Bandwidth Isochronous OUT endpoints)
0: No effect.
1: Send an interrupt when a DATA2, DATA1 or DATA0 packet has been received meaning the whole microframe data payload has been received.
• MDATA_RX: MDATA Interrupt Enabled (Only for High Bandwidth Isochronous OUT endpoints)
0: No effect.
1: Send an interrupt when an MDATA packet has been received and so at least one packet of the microframe data payload
has been received.
• ERR_OVFLW: Overflow Error Interrupt Enabled
0: Overflow Error Interrupt is masked.
1: Overflow Error Interrupt is enabled.
• RX_BK_RDY: Received OUT Data Interrupt Enabled
0: Received OUT Data Interrupt is masked.
1: Received OUT Data Interrupt is enabled.
• TX_COMPLT: Transmitted IN Data Complete Interrupt Enabled
0: Transmitted IN Data Complete Interrupt is masked.
1: Transmitted IN Data Complete Interrupt is enabled.
• TX_PK_RDY/ERR_TRANS: TX Packet Ready/Transaction Error Interrupt Enabled
0: TX Packet Ready/Transaction Error Interrupt is masked.
1: TX Packet Ready/Transaction Error Interrupt is enabled.
Caution: Interrupt source is active as long as the corresponding UDPHS_EPTSTAx register TX_PK_RDY flag
remains low. If there are no more banks available for transmitting after the software has set
UDPHS_EPTSTAx/TX_PK_RDY for the last transmit packet, then the interrupt source remains inactive until the first
bank becomes free again to transmit at UDPHS_EPTSTAx/TX_PK_RDY hardware clear.
• RX_SETUP/ERR_FL_ISO: Received SETUP/Error Flow Interrupt Enabled
0: Received SETUP/Error Flow Interrupt is masked.
1: Received SETUP/Error Flow Interrupt is enabled.

• STALL_SNT/ERR_CRISO/ERR_NBTRA: Stall Sent/ISO CRC Error/Number of Transaction Error Interrupt Enabled
0: Stall Sent/ISO CRC error/number of Transaction Error Interrupt is masked.
1: Stall Sent /ISO CRC error/number of Transaction Error Interrupt is enabled.
• NAK_IN/ERR_FLUSH: NAKIN/Bank Flush Error Interrupt Enabled
0: NAKIN Interrupt is masked.

• SHRT_PCKT: Short Packet Interrupt Enabled
For OUT endpoints: send an Interrupt when a Short Packet has been received.
0: Short Packet Interrupt is masked.
1: Short Packet Interrupt is enabled.
For IN endpoints: a Short Packet transmission is guaranteed upon end of the DMA Transfer, thus signaling a BULK or
INTERRUPT end of transfer or an end of isochronous (micro-)frame data, but only if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx
register END_B_EN and UDPHS_EPTCTLx register AUTO_VALID bits are also set.

• FRCESTALL: Stall Handshake Request Set
0: No effect.
1: Set this bit to request a STALL answer to the host for the next handshake
Refer to chapters 8.4.5 (Handshake Packets) and 9.4.5 (Get Status) of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 2.0 for
more information on the STALL handshake.
• KILL_BANK: KILL Bank Set (for IN Endpoint)
0: No effect.
1: Kill the last written bank.
• TX_PK_RDY: TX Packet Ready Set
0: No effect.
1: Set this bit after a packet has been written into the endpoint FIFO for IN data transfers
– This flag is used to generate a Data IN transaction (device to host).
– Device firmware checks that it can write a data payload in the FIFO, checking that TX_PK_RDY is cleared.
– Transfer to the FIFO is done by writing in the “Buffer Address” register.
– Once the data payload has been transferred to the FIFO, the firmware notifies the UDPHS device setting
TX_PK_RDY to one.
– UDPHS bus transactions can start.
– TXCOMP is set once the data payload has been received by the host.
– Data should be written into the endpoint FIFO only after this bit has been cleared.
– Set this bit without writing data to the endpoint FIFO to send a Zero Length Packet.

FRCESTALL
• FRCESTALL: Stall Handshake Request
0: No effect.
1: If set a STALL answer will be done to the host for the next handshake.
This bit is reset by hardware upon received SETUP.
• TOGGLESQ_STA: Toggle Sequencing
Toggle Sequencing:
– IN endpoint: It indicates the PID Data Toggle that will be used for the next packet sent. This is not relative to
the current bank.
– CONTROL and OUT endpoint:
These bits are set by hardware to indicate the PID data of the current bank:
00
Data0
01
Data1
10
Data2 (only for High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint)
11
MData (only for High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint)
Note 1: In OUT transfer, the Toggle information is meaningful only when the current bank is busy (Received OUT
Data = 1).
Note 2: These bits are updated for OUT transfer:
– A new data has been written into the current bank.
– The user has just cleared the Received OUT Data bit to switch to the next bank.
Note 3: For High Bandwidth Isochronous Out endpoint, it is recommended to check the UDPHS_EPTSTAx/ERR_TRANS
bit to know if the toggle sequencing is correct or not.
Note 4: This field is reset to DATA1 by the UDPHS_EPTCLRSTAx register TOGGLESQ bit, and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx
(disable endpoint).
878
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
• ERR_OVFLW: Overflow Error
This bit is set by hardware when a new too-long packet is received.
Example: If the user programs an endpoint 64 bytes wide and the host sends 128 bytes in an OUT transfer, then the Overflow Error bit is set.
This bit is updated at the same time as the BYTE_COUNT field.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
• RX_BK_RDY/KILL_BANK: Received OUT Data/KILL Bank
– Received OUT Data: (For OUT endpoint or Control endpoint)
This bit is set by hardware after a new packet has been stored in the endpoint FIFO.
This bit is cleared by the device firmware after reading the OUT data from the endpoint.
For multi-bank endpoints, this bit may remain active even when cleared by the device firmware, this if an other packet has
been received meanwhile.
Hardware assertion of this bit may generate an interrupt if enabled by the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register RX_BK_RDY bit.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
– KILL Bank: (For IN endpoint)
– The bank is really cleared or the bank is sent, BUSY_BANK_STA is decremented.
– The bank is not cleared but sent on the IN transfer, TX_COMPLT
– The bank is not cleared because it was empty. The user should wait that this bit is cleared before trying to clear
another packet.
Note: “Kill a packet” may be refused if at the same time, an IN token is coming and the current packet is sent on the
UDPHS line. In this case, the TX_COMPLT bit is set. Take notice however, that if at least two banks are ready to be sent,
there is no problem to kill a packet even if an IN token is coming. In fact, in that case, the current bank is sent (IN transfer)
and the last bank is killed.
• TX_COMPLT: Transmitted IN Data Complete
This bit is set by hardware after an IN packet has been transmitted for isochronous endpoints and after it has been
accepted (ACK’ed) by the host for Control, Bulk and Interrupt endpoints.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
• TX_PK_RDY/ERR_TRANS: TX Packet Ready/Transaction Error
– TX Packet Ready:
This bit is cleared by hardware, as soon as the packet has been sent for isochronous endpoints, or after the host has
acknowledged the packet for Control, Bulk and Interrupt endpoints.
For Multi-bank endpoints, this bit may remain clear even after software is set if another bank is available to transmit.
Hardware clear of this bit may generate an interrupt if enabled by the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register TX_PK_RDY bit.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
– Transaction Error: (For high bandwidth isochronous OUT endpoints) (Read-Only)
This bit is set by hardware when a transaction error occurs inside one microframe.
If one toggle sequencing problem occurs among the n-transactions (n = 1, 2 or 3) inside a microframe, then this bit is still
set as long as the current bank contains one “bad” n-transaction. (see “CURRENT_BANK/CONTROL_DIR: Current
Bank/Control Direction” on page 881) As soon as the current bank is relative to a new “good” n-transactions, then this bit is
reset.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
879
Note1: A transaction error occurs when the toggle sequencing does not respect the Universal Serial Bus Specification,
Rev 2.0 (5.9.2 High Bandwidth Isochronous endpoints) (Bad PID, missing data....)
Note2: When a transaction error occurs, the user may empty all the “bad” transactions by clearing the Received OUT Data
flag (RX_BK_RDY).
If this bit is reset, then the user should consider that a new n-transaction is coming.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
• RX_SETUP/ERR_FL_ISO: Received SETUP/Error Flow
– Received SETUP: (for Control endpoint only)
This bit is set by hardware when a valid SETUP packet has been received from the host.
It is cleared by the device firmware after reading the SETUP data from the endpoint FIFO.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
– Error Flow: (for isochronous endpoint only)
This bit is set by hardware when a transaction error occurs.
– Isochronous IN transaction is missed, the micro has no time to fill the endpoint (underflow).
– Isochronous OUT data is dropped because the bank is busy (overflow).
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
• STALL_SNT/ERR_CRISO/ERR_NBTRA: Stall Sent/CRC ISO Error/Number of Transaction Error
– STALL_SNT: (for Control, Bulk and Interrupt endpoints)
This bit is set by hardware after a STALL handshake has been sent as requested by the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register
FRCESTALL bit.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
– ERR_CRISO: (for Isochronous OUT endpoints) (Read-only)
This bit is set by hardware if the last received data is corrupted (CRC error on data).
This bit is updated by hardware when new data is received (Received OUT Data bit).
– ERR_NBTRA: (for High Bandwidth Isochronous IN endpoints)
This bit is set at the end of a microframe in which at least one data bank has been transmitted, if less than the number of
transactions per micro-frame banks (UDPHS_EPTCFGx register NB_TRANS) have been validated for transmission inside
this microframe.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
• NAK_IN/ERR_FLUSH: NAK IN/Bank Flush Error
– NAK_IN:
This bit is set by hardware when a NAK handshake has been sent in response to an IN request from the Host.
This bit is cleared by software.
– ERR_FLUSH: (for High Bandwidth Isochronous IN endpoints)
This bit is set when flushing unsent banks at the end of a microframe.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by EPT_CTL_DISx (disable endpoint).
• NAK_OUT: NAK OUT
This bit is set by hardware when a NAK handshake has been sent in response to an OUT or PING request from the Host.
This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by EPT_CTL_DISx (disable endpoint).

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).
– Control Direction: (for Control endpoint only)
0: A Control Write is requested by the Host.
1: A Control Read is requested by the Host.

OUT endpoint: it indicates the number of busy banks filled by OUT transaction from the Host.
00
All banks are free
01
1 busy bank
10
2 busy banks

• BYTE_COUNT: UDPHS Byte Count
Byte count of a received data packet.
This field is incremented after each write into the endpoint (to prepare an IN transfer).
This field is decremented after each reading into the endpoint (OUT transfer).
This field is also updated at RX_BK_RDY flag clear with the next bank.
This field is also updated at TX_PK_RDY flag set with the next bank.
This field is reset by EPT_x of UDPHS_EPTRST register.
• SHRT_PCKT: Short Packet
An OUT Short Packet is detected when the receive byte count is less than the configured UDPHS_EPTCFGx register
EPT_Size.
This bit is updated at the same time as the BYTE_COUNT field.

37.6.15 UDPHS DMA Channel Transfer Descriptor
The DMA channel transfer descriptor is loaded from the memory.
Be careful with the alignment of this buffer.
The structure of the DMA channel transfer descriptor is defined by three parameters as described below:
Offset 0:
The address must be aligned: 0xXXXX0
Next Descriptor Address Register: UDPHS_DMANXTDSCx
Offset 4:
The address must be aligned: 0xXXXX4
DMA Channelx Address Register: UDPHS_DMAADDRESSx
Offset 8:
The address must be aligned: 0xXXXX8
DMA Channelx Control Register: UDPHS_DMACONTROLx
To use the DMA channel transfer descriptor, fill the structures with the correct value (as described in the following
pages).
Then write directly in UDPHS_DMANXTDSCx the address of the descriptor to be used first.
Then write 1 in the LDNXT_DSC bit of UDPHS_DMACONTROLx (load next channel transfer descriptor). The
descriptor is automatically loaded upon Endpointx request for packet transfer.

• BUFF_ADD
This field determines the AHB bus starting address of a DMA channel transfer.
Channel start and end addresses may be aligned on any byte boundary.
The firmware may write this field only when the UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB bit is clear.
This field is updated at the end of the address phase of the current access to the AHB bus. It is incrementing of the access
byte width. The access width is 4 bytes (or less) at packet start or end, if the start or end address is not aligned on a word
boundary.
The packet start address is either the channel start address or the next channel address to be accessed in the channel
buffer.
The packet end address is either the channel end address or the latest channel address accessed in the channel buffer.
The channel start address is written by software or loaded from the descriptor, whereas the channel end address is either
determined by the end of buffer or the UDPHS device, USB end of transfer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register
END_TR_EN bit is set.

CHANN_ENB
• CHANN_ENB (Channel Enable Command)
0: DMA channel is disabled at and no transfer will occur upon request. This bit is also cleared by hardware when the channel source bus is disabled at end of buffer.
If the UDPHS_DMACONTROL register LDNXT_DSC bit has been cleared by descriptor loading, the firmware will have to
set the corresponding CHANN_ENB bit to start the described transfer, if needed.
If the UDPHS_DMACONTROL register LDNXT_DSC bit is cleared, the channel is frozen and the channel registers may
then be read and/or written reliably as soon as both UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB and CHANN_ACT flags
read as 0.
If a channel request is currently serviced when this bit is cleared, the DMA FIFO buffer is drained until it is empty, then the
UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB bit is cleared.
If the LDNXT_DSC bit is set at or after this bit clearing, then the currently loaded descriptor is skipped (no data transfer
occurs) and the next descriptor is immediately loaded.
1: UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB bit will be set, thus enabling DMA channel data transfer. Then any pending request will start the transfer. This may be used to start or resume any requested transfer.
• LDNXT_DSC: Load Next Channel Transfer Descriptor Enable (Command)
0: No channel register is loaded after the end of the channel transfer.
1: The channel controller loads the next descriptor after the end of the current transfer, i.e. when the
UDPHS_DMASTATUS/CHANN_ENB bit is reset.
If the UDPHS_DMA CONTROL/CHANN_ENB bit is cleared, the next descriptor is immediately loaded upon transfer
request.

• END_TR_EN: End of Transfer Enable (Control)
Used for OUT transfers only.
0: USB end of transfer is ignored.
1: UDPHS device can put an end to the current buffer transfer.
When set, a BULK or INTERRUPT short packet or the last packet of an ISOCHRONOUS (micro) frame (DATAX) will close
the current buffer and the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register END_TR_ST flag will be raised.
This is intended for UDPHS non-prenegotiated end of transfer (BULK or INTERRUPT) or ISOCHRONOUS microframe
data buffer closure.
• END_B_EN: End of Buffer Enable (Control)
0: DMA Buffer End has no impact on USB packet transfer.
1: Endpoint can validate the packet (according to the values programmed in the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register AUTO_VALID
and SHRT_PCKT fields) at DMA Buffer End, i.e. when the UDPHS_DMASTATUS register BUFF_COUNT reaches 0.
This is mainly for short packet IN validation initiated by the DMA reaching end of buffer, but could be used for OUT packet
truncation (discarding of unwanted packet data) at the end of DMA buffer.
• END_TR_IT: End of Transfer Interrupt Enable
0: UDPHS device initiated buffer transfer completion will not trigger any interrupt at UDPHS_STATUSx/END_TR_ST
rising.
1: An interrupt is sent after the buffer transfer is complete, if the UDPHS device has ended the buffer transfer.
Use when the receive size is unknown.
• END_BUFFIT: End of Buffer Interrupt Enable
0: UDPHS_DMA_STATUSx/END_BF_ST rising will not trigger any interrupt.
1: An interrupt is generated when the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register BUFF_COUNT reaches zero.
• DESC_LD_IT: Descriptor Loaded Interrupt Enable
0: UDPHS_DMASTATUSx/DESC_LDST rising will not trigger any interrupt.
1: An interrupt is generated when a descriptor has been loaded from the bus.
• BURST_LCK: Burst Lock Enable
0: The DMA never locks bus access.
1: USB packets AHB data bursts are locked for maximum optimization of the bus bandwidth usage and maximization of flyby AHB burst duration.
• BUFF_LENGTH: Buffer Byte Length (Write-only)
This field determines the number of bytes to be transferred until end of buffer. The maximum channel transfer size (64
Kbytes) is reached when this field is 0 (default value). If the transfer size is unknown, this field should be set to 0, but the
transfer end may occur earlier under UDPHS device control.
When this field is written, The UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register BUFF_COUNT field is updated with the write value.
Note: Bits [31:2] are only writable when issuing a channel Control Command other than “Stop Now”.
Note: For reliability it is highly recommended to wait for both UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register CHAN_ACT and CHAN_ENB flags are at
0, thus ensuring the channel has been stopped before issuing a command other than “Stop Now”.

• CHANN_ENB: Channel Enable Status
0: If cleared, the DMA channel no longer transfers data, and may load the next descriptor if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx
register LDNXT_DSC bit is set.
When any transfer is ended either due to an elapsed byte count or a UDPHS device initiated transfer end, this bit is automatically reset.
1: If set, the DMA channel is currently enabled and transfers data upon request.
This bit is normally set or cleared by writing into the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register CHANN_ENB bit field either by
software or descriptor loading.
If a channel request is currently serviced when the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register CHANN_ENB bit is cleared, the
DMA FIFO buffer is drained until it is empty, then this status bit is cleared.
• CHANN_ACT: Channel Active Status
0: The DMA channel is no longer trying to source the packet data.
When a packet transfer is ended this bit is automatically reset.
1: The DMA channel is currently trying to source packet data, i.e. selected as the highest-priority requesting channel.
When a packet transfer cannot be completed due to an END_BF_ST, this flag stays set during the next channel descriptor
load (if any) and potentially until UDPHS packet transfer completion, if allowed by the new descriptor.
• END_TR_ST: End of Channel Transfer Status
0: Cleared automatically when read by software.
1: Set by hardware when the last packet transfer is complete, if the UDPHS device has ended the transfer.
Valid until the CHANN_ENB flag is cleared at the end of the next buffer transfer.
• END_BF_ST: End of Channel Buffer Status
0: Cleared automatically when read by software.
1: Set by hardware when the BUFF_COUNT downcount reach zero.
Valid until the CHANN_ENB flag is cleared at the end of the next buffer transfer.

• DESC_LDST: Descriptor Loaded Status
0: Cleared automatically when read by software.
1: Set by hardware when a descriptor has been loaded from the system bus.
Valid until the CHANN_ENB flag is cleared at the end of the next buffer transfer.
• BUFF_COUNT: Buffer Byte Count
This field determines the current number of bytes still to be transferred for this buffer.
This field is decremented from the AHB source bus access byte width at the end of this bus address phase.
The access byte width is 4 by default, or less, at DMA start or end, if the start or end address is not aligned on a word
boundary.
At the end of buffer, the DMA accesses the UDPHS device only for the number of bytes needed to complete it.
This field value is reliable (stable) only if the channel has been stopped or frozen (UDPHS_EPTCTLx register
NT_DIS_DMA bit is used to disable the channel request) and the channel is no longer active CHANN_ACT flag is 0.
Note: For OUT endpoints, if the receive buffer byte length (BUFF_LENGTH) has been defaulted to zero because the USB transfer
length is unknown, the actual buffer byte length received will be 0x10000-BUFF_COUNT.

Image Sensor Interface (ISI)
38.1
Description
The Image Sensor Interface (ISI) connects a CMOS-type image sensor to the processor and provides image
capture in various formats. It does data conversion, if necessary, before the storage in memory through DMA.
The ISI supports color CMOS image sensor and grayscale image sensors with a reduced set of functionalities.
In grayscale mode, the data stream is stored in memory without any processing and so is not compatible with the
LCD controller.
Internal FIFOs on the preview and codec paths are used to store the incoming data. The RGB output on the
preview path is compatible with the LCD controller. This module outputs the data in RGB format (LCD compatible)
and has scaling capabilities to make it compliant to the LCD display resolution (See Table 38-3 on page 892).
Several input formats such as preprocessed RGB or YCbCr are supported through the data bus interface.
It supports two modes of synchronization:
1.
The hardware with ISI_VSYNC and ISI_HSYNC signals
2.
The International Telecommunication Union Recommendation ITU-R BT.656-4 Start-of-Active-Video (SAV)
and End-of-Active-Video (EAV) synchronization sequence.
Using EAV/SAV for synchronization reduces the pin count (ISI_VSYNC, ISI_HSYNC not used). The polarity of the
synchronization pulse is programmable to comply with the sensor signals.

Functional Description
The Image Sensor Interface (ISI) supports direct connection to the ITU-R BT. 601/656 8-bit mode compliant
sensors and up to 12-bit grayscale sensors. It receives the image data stream from the image sensor on the 12-bit
data bus.
This module receives up to 12 bits for data, the horizontal and vertical synchronizations and the pixel clock. The
reduced pin count alternative for synchronization is supported for sensors that embed SAV (start of active video)
and EAV (end of active video) delimiters in the data stream.
The Image Sensor Interface interrupt line is connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller and can trigger an
interrupt at the beginning of each frame and at the end of a DMA frame transfer. If the SAV/EAV synchronization is
used, an interrupt can be triggered on each delimiter event.
For 8-bit color sensors, the data stream received can be in several possible formats: YCbCr 4:2:2, RGB 8:8:8,
RGB 5:6:5 and may be processed before the storage in memory. The data stream may be sent on both preview
path and codec path if the bit ISI_CDC in the ISI_CTRL is one. To optimize the bandwidth, the codec path should
be enabled only when a capture is required.
In grayscale mode, the input data stream is stored in memory without any processing. The 12-bit data, which
represent the grayscale level for the pixel, is stored in memory one or two pixels per word, depending on the
GS_MODE bit in the ISI_CFG2 register. The codec datapath is not available when grayscale image is selected.
A frame rate counter allows users to capture all frames or 1 out of every 2 to 8 frames.
38.4.1 Data Timing
The two data timings using horizontal and vertical synchronization and EAV/SAV sequence synchronization are
shown in Figure 38-3 and Figure 38-4.
In the VSYNC/HSYNC synchronization, the valid data is captured with the active edge of the pixel clock (ISI_PCK),
after SFD lines of vertical blanking and SLD pixel clock periods delay programmed in the control register.
The ITU-RBT.656-4 defines the functional timing for an 8-bit wide interface.
There are two timing reference signals, one at the beginning of each video data block SAV (0xFF000080) and one
at the end of each video data block EAV(0xFF00009D). Only data sent between EAV and SAV is captured.
Horizontal blanking and vertical blanking are ignored. Use of the SAV and EAV synchronization eliminates the
ISI_VSYNC and ISI_HSYNC signals from the interface, thereby reducing the pin count. In order to retrieve both
frame and line synchronization properly, at least one line of vertical blanking is mandatory.

38.4.2 Data Ordering
The RGB color space format is required for viewing images on a display screen preview, and the YCbCr color
space format is required for encoding.
All the sensors do not output the YCbCr or RGB components in the same order. The ISI allows the user to program
the same component order as the sensor, reducing software treatments to restore the right format.

RGB 8:8:8
RGB 5:6:5
The RGB 5:6:5 input format is processed to be displayed as RGB 5:6:5 format, compliant with the 16-bit mode of
the LCD controller.
38.4.3 Clocks
The sensor master clock (ISI_MCK) can be generated either by the Advanced Power Management Controller
(APMC) through a Programmable Clock output or by an external oscillator connected to the sensor.
None of the sensors embed a power management controller, so providing the clock by the APMC is a simple and
efficient way to control power consumption of the system.
Care must be taken when programming the system clock. The ISI has two clock domains, the system bus clock
and the pixel clock provided by sensor. The two clock domains are not synchronized, but the system clock must be
faster than pixel clock.

This module resizes captured 8-bit color sensor images to fit the LCD display format. The resize module performs

algorithm is applied.
The decimation factor is a multiple of 1/16 and values 0 to 15 are forbidden.

38.4.4.2 Color Space Conversion
This module converts YCrCb or YUV pixels to RGB color space. Clipping is performed to ensure that the samples
value do not exceed the allowable range. The conversion matrix is defined below and is fully programmable:
C0 0 C1
Y – Y off
R
G = C 0 – C 2 – C 3 × C b – C boff
B
C0 C4 0
C r – C roff
Example of programmable value to convert YCrCb to RGB:
R = 1.164 ⋅ ( Y – 16 ) + 1.596 ⋅ ( C r – 128 )
G = 1.164 ⋅ ( Y – 16 ) – 0.813 ⋅ ( C r – 128 ) – 0.392 ⋅ ( C b – 128 )
B = 1.164 ⋅ ( Y – 16 ) + 2.107 ⋅ ( C b – 128 )
An example of programmable value to convert from YUV to RGB:
R = Y + 1.596 ⋅ V
G = Y – 0.394 ⋅ U – 0.436 ⋅ V
B = Y + 2.032 ⋅ U

38.4.4.3 Memory Interface
Preview datapath contains a data formatter that converts 8:8:8 pixel to RGB 5:6:5 format compliant with 16-bit
format of the LCD controller. In general, when converting from a color channel with more bits to one with fewer
bits, formatter module discards the lower-order bits. Example: Converting from RGB 8:8:8 to RGB 5:6:5, it discards
the three LSBs from the red and blue channels, and two LSBs from the green channel. When grayscale mode is
enabled, two memory formats are supported. One mode supports two pixels per word, and the other mode
supports one pixel per word.

38.4.4.4 FIFO and DMA Features
Both preview and Codec datapaths contain FIFOs. These asynchronous buffers are used to safely transfer
formatted pixels from Pixel clock domain to AHB clock domain. A video arbiter is used to manage FIFO thresholds
and triggers a relevant DMA request through the AHB master interface. Thus, depending on FIFO state, a
specified length burst is asserted. Regarding AHB master interface, it supports Scatter DMA mode through linked
list operation. This mode of operation improves flexibility of image buffer location and allows the user to allocate
two or more frame buffers. The destination frame buffers are defined by a series of Frame Buffer Descriptors
(FBD). Each FBD controls the transfer of one entire frame and then optionally loads a further FBD to switch the
DMA operation at another frame buffer address. The FBD is defined by a series of three words. The first one
defines the current frame buffer address (named DMA_X_ADDR register), the second defines control information
(named DMA_X_CTRL register) and the third defines the next descriptor address (named DMA_X_DSCR). DMA
transfer mode with linked list support is available for both codec and preview datapath. The data to be transferred
described by an FBD requires several burst accesses. In the example below, the use of two ping-pong frame
buffers is described.
896
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
38.4.4.5 Example
The first FBD, stored at address 0x00030000, defines the location of the first frame buffer. This address is
programmed in the ISI user interface DMA_P_DSCR. To enable Descriptor fetch operation DMA_P_CTRL register
must be set to 0x00000001. LLI_0 and LLI_1 are the two descriptors of the Linked list.
Destination Address: frame buffer ID0 0x02A000 (LLI_0.DMA_P_ADDR)
Transfer 0 Control Information, fetch and writeback: 0x00000003 (LLI_0.DMA_P_CTRL)
Next FBD address: 0x00030010 (LLI_0.DMA_P_DSCR)
Second FBD, stored at address 0x00030010, defines the location of the second frame buffer.
Destination Address: frame buffer ID1 0x0003A000 (LLI_1.DMA_P_ADDR
Transfer 1 Control information fetch and writeback: 0x00000003 (LLI_1.DMA_P_CTRL)
Next FBD address: 0x00030000, wrapping to first FBD (LLI_1.DMA_P_DSCR)
Using this technique, several frame buffers can be configured through the linked list. Figure 38-6 illustrates a
typical three frame buffer application. Frame n is mapped to frame buffer 0, frame n+1 is mapped to frame buffer 1,
frame n+2 is mapped to Frame buffer 2, further frames wrap. A codec request occurs, and the full-size 4:2:2
encoded frame is stored in a dedicated memory space.

38.4.5.1 Color Space Conversion
Depending on user selection, this module can be bypassed so that input YCrCb stream is directly connected to the
format converter module. If the RGB input stream is selected, this module converts RGB to YCrCb color space
with the formulas given below:
Y

Cb
–C6 –C7 C8
C3 –C4 –C5
Y off
R
× G + Cr off
B
Cb off
An example of coefficients is given below:
Y = 0.257 ⋅ R + 0.504 ⋅ G + 0.098 ⋅ B + 16
C = 0.439 ⋅ R – 0.368 ⋅ G – 0.071 ⋅ B + 128
r
C b = – 0.148 ⋅ R – 0.291 ⋅ G + 0.439 ⋅ B + 128
38.4.5.2 Memory Interface
Dedicated FIFOs are used to support packed memory mapping. YCrCb pixel components are sent in a single 32bit word in a contiguous space (packed). Data is stored in the order of natural scan lines. Planar mode is not
supported.
38.4.5.3 DMA Features
Like preview datapath, codec datapath DMA mode uses linked list operation.

Touchscreen ADC Controller (TSADCC)
39.1
Description
The Touchscreen ADC Controller is based on a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) 10-bit Analog-to-Digital
Converter (ADC). It also integrates:
an 8-to-1 analog multiplexer for analog-to-digital conversions of up to 8 analog lines
4 power switches that measure both axis positions on the resistive touchscreen panel
1 additional power switch and an embedded resistor that detects pen-interrupt and pen loss
The conversions extend from 0V to TSADVREF.
The TSADCC supports an 8-bit or 10-bit resolution mode, and conversion results are reported in a common
register for all channels, as well as in a channel-dedicated register.
Conversions can be started for all enabled channels, either by a software trigger, by detection of a rising edge on
the external trigger pin TSADTRG or by an integrated programmable timer. When the Touchscreen is enabled, a
timer-triggered sequencer automatically configures the power switches, performs the conversions and stores the
results in dedicated registers.
The TSADCC also integrates a Sleep Mode and a Pen-Detect Mode and connects with one PDC channel. These
features reduce both power consumption and processor intervention.
The TSADCC timings, like the Startup Time and Sample and Hold Time, are fully configurable.

Product Dependencies
39.5.1
Power Management
The TSADC controller is not continuously clocked. The programmer must first enable the TSADC controller Clock
in the Power Management Controller (PMC) before using the TSADC controller. However, if the application does
not require TSADC controller operations, the TSADC controller clock can be stopped when not needed and be
restarted later.
Configuring the TSADC controller does not require the TSADC controller clock to be enabled.
39.5.2
Interrupt Sources
The TSADCC interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the Advanced Interrupt Controller. Using
the TSADCC interrupt requires the AIC to be programmed first.

Analog Inputs
The analog input pins can be multiplexed with PIO lines. In this case, the assignment of the TSADCC input is
automatically done as soon as the corresponding channel is enabled by writing the register TSADCC_CHER. By
default, after reset, the PIO lines are configured as input with its pull-up enabled and the TSADCC inputs are
connected to the GND.
39.5.4
I/O Lines
The pin TSADTRG may be shared with other peripheral functions through the PIO Controller. In this case, the PIO
Controller should be set accordingly to assign the pin TSADTRG to the TSADCC function.

Conversion Performances
For performance and electrical characteristics of the TSADCC, see the section “Electrical Characteristics” of the
datasheet.
39.6
Analog-to-digital Converter Functional Description
The TSADCC embeds a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The ADC
supports 8-bit or 10-bit resolutions.
The conversion is performed on a full range between 0V and the reference voltage pin TSADVREF. Analog inputs
between these voltages convert to values based on a linear conversion.
39.6.1
ADC Resolution
The ADC supports 8-bit or 10-bit resolutions. The 8-bit selection is performed by setting the bit LOWRES in the
TSADCC Mode Register. See Section 39.11.2 “TSADCC Mode Register” on page 949.
By default, after a reset, the resolution is the highest and the DATA field in the “TSADCC Channel Data Register x
(x = 0..7)” are fully used.
932
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
By setting the bit LOWRES, the ADC switches in the lowest resolution and the conversion results can be read in
the eight lowest significant bits of the data registers. The two highest bits of the DATA field in the corresponding
TSADCC_CDR and of the LDATA field in the TSADCC_LCDR read 0.
Moreover, when a PDC channel is connected to the TSADCC, 10-bit resolution sets the transfer request sizes to
16-bit. Setting the bit LOWRES automatically switches to 8-bit data transfers. In this case, the destination buffers
are optimized.
All the conversions for the Touchscreen forces the ADC in 10-bit resolution, regardless of the LOWRES setting.
Further details are given in the section “Operating Modes” on page 940.
39.6.2
ADC Clock
The TSADCC uses the ADC Clock to perform conversions. Converting a single analog value to a 10-bit digital data
requires Sample and Hold Clock cycles as defined in the field SHTIM of the “TSADCC Mode Register” and 10
ADC Clock cycles. The ADC Clock frequency is selected in the PRESCAL field of the “TSADCC Mode Register” .
The ADC clock range is between MCK/2, if PRESCAL is 0, and MCK/128, if PRESCAL is set to 63 (0x3F).
PRESCAL must be programmed in order to provide an ADC clock frequency according to the maximum sampling
rate parameter given in the “Electrical Characteristics” section.
39.6.3
Sleep Mode
The TSADCC Sleep Mode maximizes power saving by automatically deactivating the Analog-to-Digital Converter
cell when it is not being used for conversions. Sleep Mode is enabled by setting the bit SLEEP in “TSADCC Mode
Register” .
The SLEEP of the ADC is automatically managed by the conversion sequencer, which can automatically process
the conversions of all channels at lowest power consumption.
When a trigger occurs, the Analog-to-Digital Converter cell is automatically activated. As the analog cell requires a
start-up time, the logic waits during this time and then starts the conversion on the enabled channels. When all
conversions are complete, the ADC is deactivated until the next trigger.
39.6.4
Startup Time
The Touchscreen ADC has a minimal Startup Time when it exits the Sleep Mode. As the ADC Clock depends on
the application, the user has to program the field STARTUP in the “TSADCC Mode Register” , which defines how
many ADC Clock cycles to wait before performing the first conversion of the sequence.
The field STARTUP can define a Startup Time between 8 and 1024 ADC Clock cycles by steps of 8.
The user must assure that ADC Startup Time given in the section “Electrical Characteristics” is covered by this
wait time.
39.6.5
Sample and Hold Time
In the same way, a minimal Sample and Hold Time is necessary for the TSADCC to guarantee the best converted
final value between selection of two channels. This time depends on the input impedance of the analog input, but
also on the output impedance of the driver providing the signal to the analog input, as there is no input buffer
amplifier.
The Sample and Hold time has to be programmed through the bitfields SHTIM in the “TSADCC Mode Register”
and TSSHTIM in the “TSADCC Touchscreen Register” .
The field SHTIM defines the number of ADC Clock cycles for an analog input, while the field TSSHTIM defines the
number of ADC Clock cycles for a Touchscreen input.
These both fields can define a Sample and Hold time between 1 and 16 ADC Clock cycles.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
933
The field TSSHTIM defines also the time the power switches of the Touchscreen are closed when the TSADCC
performs a conversion for the Touchscreen.
39.7
Touchscreen
39.7.1
Resistive Touchscreen Principles
A resistive touchscreen is based on two resistive films, each one being fitted with a pair of electrodes, placed at the
top and bottom on one film, and on the right and left on the other. Between the two, there is a layer that acts as an
insulator, but also enables contact when you press the screen. This is illustrated in Figure 39-2.
The TSADC controller has the ability to perform without external components:

Horizontal Position Detection
Position Measurement Method
As shown in Figure 39-2, to detect the position of a contact, a supply is first applied from top to bottom. Due to the
linear resistance of the film, there is a voltage gradient from top to bottom. When a contact is performed on the
screen, the voltage propagates at the point the two surfaces come into contact with the second film. If the input
impedance on the right and left electrodes sense is high enough, the film does not affect this voltage, despite its
resistive nature.
For the horizontal direction, the same method is used, but by applying supply from left to right. The range depends
on the supply voltage and on the loss in the switches that connect to the top and bottom electrodes.
In an ideal world (linear, with no loss through switches), the horizontal position is equal to:
VYM / VDD or VYP / VDD.
The proposed implementation with on-chip power switches is shown in Figure 39-3. The voltage measurement at
the output of the switch compensates for the switches loss.

It is possible to correct for the switch loss by performing the operation:
[VYP - VXM] / [VXP - VXM].
This requires additional measurements, as shown in Figure 39-3.

Pressure Measurement Method
The method to measure the pressure (Rp) applied to the touchscreen is based on the knowledge of the X-Panel
resistance (Rxp).
Three conversions (Xpos,Z1,Z2) are necessary to determine the value of Rp (Zaxis resistance).
Rp = Rxp*(Xpos/1024)*[(Z2/Z1)-1]

Pen Detect Method
When there is no contact, it is not necessary to perform conversion. However, it is important to detect a contact by
keeping the power consumption as low as possible.
The proposed implementation polarizes the vertical panel by closing the switch on XP and ties the horizontal panel
by an embedded resistor connected to YM. This resistor is enabled by a fifth switch. Since there is no contact, no
current is flowing and there is no related power consumption. As soon as a contact occurs, a current is flowing in
the touchscreen and a schmitt trigger detects the voltage in the resistor.
The Touchscreen Interrupt configuration is entered by programming the bit PENDET in the “TSADCC Mode
Register” . If this bit is written at 1, the switch on XP and the switch on the resistor are both closed, except when a
touchscreen conversion is in progress.
To complete the circuit, a programmable debouncer is placed at the output of the schmitt trigger. This debouncer is
programmable at 1 ADC Clock period, useful when the system is running at Slow Clock, or at up to 215 ADC Clock
periods, but better used to filter noise on the Touchscreen panel when the system is running at high speed. The
debouncer length can be selected by programming the field PENDBC in “TSADCC Mode Register” .

The Touchscreen Pen Detect can be used to generate a TSADCC interrupt to wake up the system or it can be
programmed to trig a conversion, so that a position can be measured as soon as a contact is detected if the
TSADCC is programmed for an operating mode involving the Touchscreen.
The Pen Detect generates two types of status, reported in the “TSADCC Status Register” :
the bit PENCNT is set as soon as a current flows for a time over the debouncing time as defined by
PENDBC and remains set until TSADCC_SR is read.
the bit NOCNT is set as soon as no current flows for a time over the debouncing time as defined by
PENDBC and remains set until TSADCC_SR is read.
Both bits are automatically cleared as soon as the Status Register TSADCC_SR is read, and can generate an
interrupt by writing accordingly the “TSADCC Interrupt Enable Register” .

Conversion Results
When a conversion is completed, the resulting 8-bit or 10-bit digital value is right-aligned and stored in the
“TSADCC Channel Data Register x (x = 0..7)” of the current channel and in the “TSADCC Last Converted Data
Register” .
The channel EOC bit and the bit DRDY in the “TSADCC Status Register” are both set. If the PDC channel is
enabled, DRDY rising triggers a data transfer. In any case, either EOC and DRDY can trigger an interrupt.
Reading one of the “TSADCC Channel Data Register x (x = 0..7)” registers clears the corresponding EOC bit.
Reading “TSADCC Last Converted Data Register” clears the DRDY bit and the EOC bit corresponding to the last
converted channel.

If the “TSADCC Channel Data Register x (x = 0..7)” is not read before further incoming data is converted, the

In the same way, new data converted when DRDY is high sets the bit GOVRE (General Overrun Error) in the
“TSADCC Status Register” .
The OVRE and GOVRE flags are automatically cleared when the “TSADCC Status Register” is read.

Conversion Triggers
Conversions of the active analog channels are started with a software or a hardware trigger.
The software trigger is provided by writing the “TSADCC Control Register” with the bit START at 1.
The hardware trigger can be selected by the filed TRGMOD in the TSADCC Trigger Register (TSADCC_TRGR)
between:
an edge, either rising or falling or any, detected on the external trigger pin TSADTRG
the Pen Detect, depending on how the PENDET bit is set in the “TSADCC Mode Register”
a continuous trigger, meaning the TSADCC restarts the next sequence as soon as it finishes the current one,
in this case, only one software trigger is required at the beginning
a periodic trigger, which is defined by programming the field TRGPER in the “TSADCC Trigger Register”
Enabling hardware triggers does not disable the software trigger functionality. Thus, if a hardware trigger is
selected, the start of a conversion can still be initiated by the software trigger.

39.10 Operating Modes
The Touchscreen ADC Controller features several operating modes, each defining a conversion sequence:
The ADC Mode: at each trigger, all the enabled channels are converted
The Touchscreen Mode: at each trigger, the touchscreen inputs are converted with the switches accordingly
set and the results are processed and stored in the corresponding data registers
The Interleaved Mode: at each trigger, the 8 conversions for the touchscreen and the analog inputs
conversions are performed. Only the analog inputs results are managed by the PDC and the touchscreen
conversions can be performed less often than the analog inputs.
The Operating Mode of the TSADCC is programmed in the field TSAMOD in the “TSADCC Mode Register” .
The conversion sequences for each Operating Mode are described in the following paragraphs.
The conversion sequencer, combined with the Sleep Modes, allows automatic processing with minimum processor
intervention and optimized power consumption. In any case, the sequence starts with a trigger event.
Note:
The reference voltage pins always remain connected in normal mode as in sleep mode.
39.10.1 ADC Mode
In the ADC Mode, the active channels are defined by the “TSADCC Channel Status Register” , which is defined by
writing the “TSADCC Channel Enable Register” and “TSADCC Channel Disable Register” . The results are stored
in the “TSADCC Channel Data Register x (x = 0..7)” and in the “TSADCC Last Converted Data Register” , so that
data transfers by using the PDC are possible.
At each trigger, the following sequence is performed:
1.
If SLEEP is set, wake up the ADC cell and wait for the Startup Time.
2.
If Channel 0 is enabled, convert Channel 0 and store result in both TSADCC_CDR0 and TSADCC_LCDR.
3.
If Channel 1 is enabled, convert Channel 1 and store result in both TSADCC_CDR1 and TSADCC_LCDR.
4.
If Channel 2 is enabled, convert Channel 2 and store result in both TSADCC_CDR2 and TSADCC_LCDR.
5.
If Channel 3 is enabled, convert Channel 3 and store result in both TSADCC_CDR3 and TSADCC_LCDR.
6.
If Channel 4 to Channel 7 are enabled, convert the Channels and store result in the corresponding
TSADCC_CDRx and TSADCC_LCDR.
7.
If SLEEP is set, sleep down the ADC cell.
If the PDC is enabled, all the converted data are transferred contiguously in the memory buffer. The bit LOWRES
defines which resolution is used, either 8-bit or 10-bit, and thus the width of the PDC memory buffer.

SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
39.10.2 Touchscreen Mode
Writing TSAMOD to “Touchscreen Only Mode” automatically enables the touchscreen pins as analog inputs, and
thus disables the digital function of the corresponding pins.
In Touchscreen Mode, the channels 0 to 3 corresponding to the Touchscreen inputs are automatically activated
and the bits CH0 to CH3 are automatically set in the “TSADCC Channel Status Register” .
The remaining channels can be either enabled or disabled by the user and their conversions are performed at the
end of each touchscreen sequence.
The resolution is forced to 10 bits, regardless of the LOWRES bit setting.
At each trigger, if the bit PRES in “TSADCC Mode Register” is disabled, the following sequence is performed to
measure only position.
1.
If SLEEP is set, wake up the ADC cell and wait for the Startup Time.
2.
Close the switches on the inputs XP and XM during the Sample and Hold Time.
3.
Convert Channel XM and store the result in TSADCC_CDR1.
4.
Close the switches on the inputs XP and XM during the Sample and Hold Time.
5.

TSADCC_CDR0 and TSADCC_LCDR.
6.
Close the switches on the inputs XP and XM during the Sample and Hold Time.
7.
Convert Channel YP, subtract TSADCC_CDR1 from the result and store the subtraction result in both
TSADCC_CDR1 and TSADCC_LCDR.

TSADCC_CDR2 and TSADCC_LCDR.
12. Close the switches on the inputs YP and YM during the Sample and Hold Time.
13. Convert Channel XP, subtract TSADCC_CDR3 from the result and store the subtraction result in both
TSADCC_CDR3 and TSADCC_LCDR.
14. If Channel 4 to Channel 7 are enabled, convert the Channels and store result in the corresponding
TSADCC_CDRx and TSADCC_LCDR.
15. If SLEEP is set, sleep down the ADC cell.
The resulting buffer is 16 bits wide and its structure stored in memory is:
1.
XP - X M
2.
YP - X M
3.
YP - Y M
4.
XP - Y M
5.
AD4 to AD7 if enabled.
The vertical position can be easily calculated by dividing the data at offset 0 (XP - XM) by the data at offset 1 (YP XM).
The horizontal position can be easily calculated by dividing the data at offset 2 (Y P - YM) by the data at offset 3 (XP
- YM).

39.10.3 Interleaved Mode
In the Interleaved Mode, the conversion of the touchscreen channels are made in parallel to each channel. In
addition to interleaving, the analog channels 4 and 5 can be converted more often than the touchscreen channels
depending on the TSFREQ field in the register TSADCC_MR. In the interleaved mode at least one ADC channel
must be enabled.
In the Interleaved Mode, the channels 0 to 3 corresponding to the Touchscreen inputs are automatically activated
and the bits CH0 to CH3 are automatically set in the “TSADCC Channel Status Register” .
This mode allows periodic conversion of the remaining channels at high sampling rate and converted data
transferred in memory with the PDC while the touchscreen conversions are performed at low rate. The PDC
transfers only analog channel data and touchscreen data must be read in the “TSADCC Channel Data Register x
(x = 0..7)” .
The resolution can be configured for the channel 4 to 7 only, through the LOWRES bit. The resolution for the
conversion made on channels 0 to 3 is forced to 10 bits.
At each trigger, the sequence performed depends on a Trigger Counter, which is compared at the end to the
Touchscreen Frequency, as defined by the field TSFREQ in the register TSADCC_MR:
Touchscreen Frequency = Trigger Frequency / (2TSFREQ+1)
unless TSFREQ is programmed at 0 or 1. In such cases, the Touchscreen Frequency is one-sixth of the Trigger
Frequency.
As TSFREQ varies between 0 and 15, this results in the ADC channels being converted between 6 to 65536 less
often than the Touchscreen channels.
If the bit PRES in “TSADCC Mode Register” is disabled (measure only position), the sequences are as follow:
For Trigger Counter at 0:
1.

DMA Controller (DMAC)
40.1
Description
The DMA Controller (DMAC) is an AHB-central DMA controller core that transfers data from a source peripheral to
a destination peripheral over one or more AMBA buses. One channel is required for each source/destination pair.
In the most basic configuration, the DMAC has one master interface and one channel. The master interface reads
the data from a source and writes it to a destination. Two AMBA transfers are required for each DMAC data
transfer. This is also known as a dual-access transfer.
The DMAC is programmed via the APB interface.

Functional Description
40.5.1 Basic Definitions
Source peripheral: Device on an AMBA layer from where the DMAC reads data, which is then stored in the
channel FIFO. The source peripheral teams up with a destination peripheral to form a channel.
Destination peripheral: Device to which the DMAC writes the stored data from the FIFO (previously read from the
source peripheral).
Memory: Source or destination that is always “ready” for a DMAC transfer and does not require a handshaking
interface to interact with the DMAC.
Channel: Read/write datapath between a source peripheral on one configured AMBA layer and a destination
peripheral on the same or different AMBA layer that occurs through the channel FIFO. If the source peripheral is
not memory, then a source handshaking interface is assigned to the channel. If the destination peripheral is not
memory, then a destination handshaking interface is assigned to the channel. Source and destination
handshaking interfaces can be assigned dynamically by programming the channel registers.
Master interface: DMAC is a master on the AHB bus reading data from the source and writing it to the destination
over the AHB bus.
Slave interface: The APB interface over which the DMAC is programmed. The slave interface in practice could be
on the same layer as any of the master interfaces or on a separate layer.
Handshaking interface: A set of signal registers that conform to a protocol and handshake between the DMAC and
source or destination peripheral to control the transfer of a single or chunk transfer between them. This interface is
used to request, acknowledge, and control a DMAC transaction. A channel can receive a request through one of
two types of handshaking interface: hardware or software.
Hardware handshaking interface: Uses hardware signals to control the transfer of a single or chunk transfer
between the DMAC and the source or destination peripheral.
Software handshaking interface: Uses software registers to contr5ol the transfer of a single or chunk transfer
between the DMAC and the source or destination peripheral. No special DMAC handshaking signals are needed
on the I/O of the peripheral. This mode is useful for interfacing an existing peripheral to the DMAC without
modifying it.
Flow controller: The device (either the DMAC or source/destination peripheral) that determines the length of and
terminates a DMAC buffer transfer. If the length of a buffer is known before enabling the channel, then the DMAC
should be programmed as the flow controller. If the length of a buffer is not known prior to enabling the channel,
the source or destination peripheral needs to terminate a buffer transfer. In this mode, the peripheral is the flow
controller.
Transfer hierarchy: Figure 40-2 on page 974 illustrates the hierarchy between DMAC transfers, buffer transfers,
chunk or single, and AMBA transfers (single or burst) for non-memory peripherals. Figure 40-3 on page 974 shows
the transfer hierarchy for memory.

Buffer: A buffer of DMAC data. The amount of data (length) is determined by the flow controller. For transfers
between the DMAC and memory, a buffer is broken directly into a sequence of AMBA bursts and AMBA single
transfers.
For transfers between the DMAC and a non-memory peripheral, a buffer is broken into a sequence of DMAC
transactions (single and chunks). These are in turn broken into a sequence of AMBA transfers.
Transaction: A basic unit of a DMAC transfer as determined by either the hardware or software handshaking
interface. A transaction is only relevant for transfers between the DMAC and a source or destination peripheral if
the source or destination peripheral is a non-memory device. There are two types of transactions: single transfer
and chunk transfer.
̶
̶
Single transfer: The length of a single transaction is always 1 and is converted to a single AMBA
access.
Chunk transfer: The length of a chunk is programmed into the DMAC. The chunk is then converted
into a sequence of AHB access.DMAC executes each AMBA burst transfer by performing incremental
bursts that are no longer than 16 beats.
DMAC transfer: Software controls the number of buffers in a DMAC transfer. Once the DMAC transfer has
completed, then hardware within the DMAC disables the channel and can generate an interrupt to signal the
completion of the DMAC transfer. You can then re-program the channel for a new DMAC transfer.
Single-buffer DMAC transfer: Consists of a single buffer.
974
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
Multi-buffer DMAC transfer: A DMAC transfer may consist of multiple DMAC buffers. Multi-buffer DMAC transfers
are supported through buffer chaining (linked list pointers), auto-reloading of channel registers, and contiguous
buffers. The source and destination can independently select which method to use.
̶
̶
̶
Linked lists (buffer chaining) – A descriptor pointer (DSCR) points to the location in system memory
where the next linked list item (LLI) exists. The LLI is a set of registers that describe the next buffer
(buffer descriptor) and a descriptor pointer register. The DMAC fetches the LLI at the beginning of
every buffer when buffer chaining is enabled.
Replay – The DMAC automatically reloads the channel registers at the end of each buffers to the
value when the channel was first enabled.
Contiguous buffers – Where the address of the next buffer is selected to be a continuation from the
end of the previous buffer.
Picture-in-Picture Mode: DMAC contains a picture-in-picture mode support. When this mode is enabled,
addresses are automatically incremented by a programmable value when the DMAC channel transfer count
reaches a user defined boundary.
Figure 40-4 illustrates a memory mapped image 4:2:2 encoded located at image_base_address in memory. A user
defined start address is defined at Picture_start_address. The incremented value is set to memory_hole_size =
image_width - picture_width, and the boundary is set to picture_width.
Figure 40-4.
Picture-In-Picture Mode Support
Channel locking: Software can program a channel to keep the AHB master interface by locking the arbitration for
the master bus interface for the duration of a DMAC transfer, buffer, or chunk.
Bus locking: Software can program a channel to maintain control of the AMBA bus by asserting hmastlock for the
duration of a DMAC transfer, buffer, or transaction (single or chunk). Channel locking is asserted for the duration of
bus locking at a minimum.

40.5.2 Memory Peripherals
Figure 40-3 on page 974 shows the DMAC transfer hierarchy of the DMAC for a memory peripheral. There is no
handshaking interface with the DMAC, and therefore the memory peripheral can never be a flow controller. Once
the channel is enabled, the transfer proceeds immediately without waiting for a transaction request. The alternative
to not having a transaction-level handshaking interface is to allow the DMAC to attempt AMBA transfers to the
peripheral once the channel is enabled. If the peripheral slave cannot accept these AMBA transfers, it inserts wait
states onto the bus until it is ready; it is not recommended that more than 16 wait states be inserted onto the bus.
By using the handshaking interface, the peripheral can signal to the DMAC that it is ready to transmit/receive data,
and then the DMAC can access the peripheral without the peripheral inserting wait states onto the bus.
40.5.3 Handshaking Interface
Handshaking interfaces are used at the transaction level to control the flow of single or chunk transfers. The
operation of the handshaking interface is different and depends on whether the peripheral or the DMAC is the flow
controller.
The peripheral uses the handshaking interface to indicate to the DMAC that it is ready to transfer/accept data over
the AMBA bus. A non-memory peripheral can request a DMAC transfer through the DMAC using one of two
handshaking interfaces:
Hardware handshaking
Software handshaking
Software selects between the hardware or software handshaking interface on a per-channel basis. Software
handshaking is accomplished through memory-mapped registers, while hardware handshaking is accomplished
using a dedicated handshaking interface.
40.5.3.1 Software Handshaking
When the slave peripheral requires the DMAC to perform a DMAC transaction, it communicates this request by
sending an interrupt to the CPU or interrupt controller.
The interrupt service routine then uses the software registers to initiate and control a DMAC transaction. These
software registers are used to implement the software handshaking interface.
The SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bit in the DMAC_CFGx channel configuration register must be set to zero to
enable software handshaking.
When the peripheral is not the flow controller, then the last transaction register DMAC_LAST is not used, and the
values in these registers are ignored.
40.5.3.2 Chunk Transactions
Writing a 1 to the DMAC_CREQ[2x] register starts a source chunk transaction request, where x is the channel
number. Writing a 1 to the DMAC_CREQ[2x+1] register starts a destination chunk transfer request, where x is the
channel number.
Upon completion of the chunk transaction, the hardware clears the DMAC_CREQ[2x] or DMAC_CREQ[2x+1].
40.5.3.3 Single Transactions
Writing a 1 to the DMAC_SREQ[2x] register starts a source single transaction request, where x is the channel
number. Writing a 1 to the DMAC_SREQ[2x+1] register starts a destination single transfer request, where x is the
channel number.
Upon completion of the chunk transaction, the hardware clears the DMAC_SREQ[x] or DMAC_SREQ[2x+1].
Software can poll the relevant channel bit in the DMAC_CREQ[2x]/DMAC_CREQ[2x+1] and
DMAC_SREQ[x]/DMAC_SREQ[2x+1] registers. When both are 0, then either the requested chunk or single
transaction has completed.

40.5.4 DMAC Transfer Types
A DMAC transfer may consist of single or multi-buffers transfers. On successive buffers of a multi-buffer transfer,
the DMAC_SADDRx/DMAC_DADDRx registers in the DMAC are reprogrammed using either of the following
methods:
Buffer chaining using linked lists
Replay mode
Contiguous address between buffers
On successive buffers of a multi-buffer transfer, the DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx registers in the DMAC
are re-programmed using either of the following methods:
Buffer chaining using linked lists
Replay mode
When buffer chaining, using linked lists is the multi-buffer method of choice, and on successive buffers, the
DMAC_DSCRx register in the DMAC is re-programmed using the following method:
Buffer chaining using linked lists
A buffer descriptor (LLI) consists of following registers, DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx,
DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx.These registers, along with the DMAC_CFGx register, are used by the DMAC
to set up and describe the buffer transfer.
40.5.4.1 Multi-buffer Transfers
40.5.4.2 Buffer Chaining Using Linked Lists
In this case, the DMAC re-programs the channel registers prior to the start of each buffer by fetching the buffer
descriptor for that buffer from system memory. This is known as an LLI update.
DMAC buffer chaining is supported by using a Descriptor Pointer register (DMAC_DSCRx) that stores the address
in memory of the next buffer descriptor. Each buffer descriptor contains the corresponding buffer descriptor
(DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx DMAC_CTRLBx).
To set up buffer chaining, a sequence of linked lists must be programmed in memory.
The DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx registers are
fetched from system memory on an LLI update. The updated content of the DMAC_CTRLAx register is written
back to memory on buffer completion. Figure 40-5 on page 978 shows how to use chained linked lists in memory
to define multi-buffer transfers using buffer chaining.
The Linked List multi-buffer transfer is initiated by programming DMAC_DSCRx with DSCRx(0) (LLI(0) base
address) and DMAC_CTRLBx register with both SRC_DSCR and DST_DSCR set to 0. Other fields and registers
are ignored and overwritten when the descriptor is retrieved from memory.
The last transfer descriptor must be written to memory with its next descriptor address set to 0.

manually program the value.
4. Channel stalled is true if the relevant BTC interrupt is not masked.
5. LLI means that the register field is updated with the content of the linked list item.
40.5.4.4 Replay Mode of Channel Registers
During automatic replay mode, the channel registers are reloaded with their initial values at the completion of each
buffer and the new values used for the new buffer. Depending on the row number in Table 40-2, some or all of the
DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx channel registers are reloaded from
their initial value at the start of a buffer transfer.
40.5.4.5 Contiguous Address Between Buffers
In this case, the address between successive buffers is selected to be a continuation from the end of the previous
buffer. Enabling the source or destination address to be contiguous between buffers is a function of
DMAC_CTRLAx.SRC_DSCR, DMAC_CFGx.SRC_REP, DMAC_CTRLAx.DST_DSCR and
DMAC_CFGx.DST_REP registers.

40.5.4.6 Suspension of Transfers Between buffers
At the end of every buffer transfer, an end of buffer interrupt is asserted if:
Note:
the channel buffer interrupt is unmasked, DMAC_EBCIMR.BTC[n] = ‘1’, where n is the channel number.
The buffer complete interrupt is generated at the completion of the buffer transfer to the destination.
At the end of a chain of multiple buffers, an end of linked list interrupt is asserted if:
the channel end of chained buffer interrupt is unmasked, DMAC_EBCIMR.CBTC[n] = ‘1’, when n is the
channel number.
40.5.4.7 Ending Multi-buffer Transfers
All multi-buffer transfers must end as shown in Row 1 of Table 40-2 on page 979. At the end of every buffer
transfer, the DMAC samples the row number, and if the DMAC is in Row 1 state, then the previous buffer
transferred was the last buffer and the DMAC transfer is terminated.
For rows 9, 10 and 11 of Table 40-2 on page 979, (DMAC_DSCRx = 0 and DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO is set), multibuffer DMAC transfers continue until the automatic mode is disabled by writing a ‘1’ in DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO bit.
This bit should be programmed to zero in the end of buffer interrupt service routine that services the next-to-last
buffer transfer. This puts the DMAC into Row 1 state.
For rows 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (DMAC_CRTLBx.AUTO cleared) the user must setup the last buffer descriptor in
memory such that both LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx.SRC_DSCR and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx.DST_DSCR are one and
LLI.DMAC_DSCRx is set to 0.
40.5.5 Programming a Channel
Four registers, the DMAC_DSCRx, the DMAC_CTRLAx, the DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx, need to be
programmed to set up whether single or multi-buffer transfers take place, and which type of multi-buffer transfer is
used. The different transfer types are shown in Table 40-2 on page 979.
The “BTSIZE, SADDR and DADDR” columns indicate where the values of DMAC_SARx, DMAC_DARx,
DMAC_CTLx, and DMAC_LLPx are obtained for the next buffer transfer when multi-buffer DMAC transfers are
enabled.

40.5.5.1 Programming Examples
40.5.5.2 Single-buffer Transfer (Row 1)
1.
Read the Channel Handler Status Register DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE Field to choose a free (disabled)
channel.
2.
Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading the interrupt status
register, DMAC_EBCISR.
3.
Program the following channel registers:
a. Write the starting source address in the DMAC_SADDRx register for channel x.
b. Write the starting destination address in the DMAC_DADDRx register for channel x.
c.
Program DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx according to Row 1 as shown in Table
40-2 on page 979. Program the DMAC_CTRLBx register with both DST_DSCR and SRC_DSCR
fields set to one and AUTO field set to 0.
d. Write the control information for the DMAC transfer in the DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx registers for channel x. For example, in the register, you can program the following:
̶
i. Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow
control device by programming the FC of the DMAC_CTRLBx register.
̶
ii. Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:
– Transfer width for the source in the SRC_WIDTH field.
– Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.
– Source AHB Master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.
– Destination AHB Master Interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.
– Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INC field.
– Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination in DST_INC field.
e. Write the channel configuration information into the DMAC_CFGx register for channel x.
̶
̶
f.
i. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination
peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the
SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a ‘1’ activates the hardware handshaking
interface to handle source/destination requests. Writing a ‘0’ activates the software handshaking
interface to handle source/destination requests.
ii. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign a
handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the
SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.
If source picture-in-picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SRC_PIP is enabled), program the
DMAC_SPIPx register for channel x.
g. If destination picture-in-picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DST_PIP is enabled), program the
DMAC_DPIPx register for channel x.
4.
After the DMAC selected channel has been programmed, enable the channel by writing a ‘1’ to the
DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n] bit, where n is the channel number. Make sure that bit 0 of DMAC_EN.ENABLE
register is enabled.
5.
Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming
non-memory peripherals). The DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and
single) in the buffer and carry out the buffer transfer.
6.
Once the transfer completes, hardware sets the interrupts and disables the channel. At this time you can
either respond to the buffer Complete or Transfer Complete interrupts, or poll for the Channel Handler Status
Register (DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE[n]) bit until it is cleared by hardware, to detect when the transfer is
complete.

40.5.5.3 Multi-buffer Transfer with Linked List for Source and Linked List for Destination (Row 4)
1.
Read the Channel Enable register to choose a free (disabled) channel.
2.
Set up the chain of Linked List Items (otherwise known as buffer descriptors) in memory. Write the control
information in the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx registers location of the buffer descriptor for
each LLI in memory (see Figure 40-6 on page 983) for channel x. For example, in the register, you can
program the following:
a. Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow control device by programming the FC of the DMAC_CTRLBx register.
b. Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:
̶
̶
̶
3.
i. Transfer width for the source in the SRC_WIDTH field.
ii. Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.
iii. Source AHB master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.
̶
iv. Destination AHB master interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.
̶
v. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.
̶
vi. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination DST_INCR field.
Write the channel configuration information into the DMAC_CFGx register for channel x.
a. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination
peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the
SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a ‘1’ activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a ‘0’ activates the
software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.
b. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign the
handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the
SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.
4.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register locations of all LLI entries in memory (except the last) are
set as shown in Row 4 of Table 40-2 on page 979. The LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register of the last Linked List
Item must be set as described in Row 1 of Table 40-2. Figure 40-5 on page 978 shows a Linked List
example with two list items.
5.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DSCRx register locations of all LLI entries in memory (except the last) are
non-zero and point to the base address of the next Linked List Item.
6.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_SADDRx/LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register locations of all LLI entries in memory
point to the start source/destination buffer address preceding that LLI fetch.
7.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE field of the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx register locations of all LLI
entries in memory are cleared.
8.
If source picture-picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SRC_PIP is enabled), program the
DMAC_SPIPx register for channel x.
9.
If destination picture-in-picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DST_PIP is enabled), program the
DMAC_DPIPx register for channel x.
10. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading the status register:
DMAC_EBCISR.
11. Program the DMAC_CTRLBx, DMAC_CFGx registers according to Row 4 as shown in Table 40-2 on page
979.
12. Program the DMAC_DSCRx register with DMAC_DSCRx(0), the pointer to the first Linked List item.
13. Finally, enable the channel by writing a ‘1’ to the DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n] bit, where n is the channel
number. The transfer is performed.
14. The DMAC fetches the first LLI from the location pointed to by DMAC_DSCRx(0).
982
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
Note:
The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx, LLI. DMAC_DADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DSCRx, LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx
registers are fetched. The DMAC automatically reprograms the DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx,
DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CTRLAx channel registers from the DMAC_DSCRx(0).
15. Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming
non-memory peripheral). The DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and
single) in the buffer and carry out the buffer transfer.
16. Once the buffer of data is transferred, the DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to system memory at the
same location and on the same layer (DMAC_DSCRx.DSCR_IF) where it was originally fetched, that is, the
location of the DMAC_CTRLAx register of the linked list item fetched prior to the start of the buffer transfer.
Only DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out because only the DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE and
DMAC_CTRLAX.DONE bits have been updated by DMAC hardware. Additionally, the
DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted when the buffer transfer has completed.
Note:
Do not poll the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the DMAC memory map. Instead, poll the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit
in the LLI for that buffer. If the poll LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted, then this buffer transfer has completed.
This LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit was cleared at the start of the transfer.
17. The DMAC does not wait for the buffer interrupt to be cleared, but continues fetching the next LLI from the
memory location pointed to by current DMAC_DSCRx register and automatically reprograms the
DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx channel
registers. The DMAC transfer continues until the DMAC determines that the DMAC_CTRLBx and
DMAC_DSCRx registers at the end of a buffer transfer match described in Row 1 of Table 40-2 on page
979. The DMAC then knows that the previous buffer transferred was the last buffer in the DMAC transfer.
The DMAC transfer might look like that shown in Figure 40-6.

If the user needs to execute a DMAC transfer where the source and destination address are contiguous but the

40.5.5.4 Multi-buffer Transfer with Source Address Auto-reloaded and Destination Address Auto-reloaded (Row 10)
1.
Read the Channel Enable register to choose an available (disabled) channel.
2.
Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading the interrupt status
register. Program the following channel registers:
a. Write the starting source address in the DMAC_SADDRx register for channel x.
b. Write the starting destination address in the DMAC_DADDRx register for channel x.
c.
Program DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx according to Row 10 as shown in
Table 40-2 on page 979. Program the DMAC_DSCRx register with ‘0’.
d. Write the control information for the DMAC transfer in the DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx register for channel x. For example, in the register, you can program the following:
̶
̶
i. Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow
control device by programming the FC of the DMAC_CTRLBx register.
ii. Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:
– Transfer width for the source in the SRC_WIDTH field.
– Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.
– Source AHB master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.
– Destination AHB master interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.
– Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.
– Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination in DST_INCR field.
e. If source picture-in-picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SPIP is enabled), program the
DMAC_SPIPx register for channel x.
f.
If destination picture-in-picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DPIP), program the DMAC_DPIPx register for channel x.
g. Write the channel configuration information into the DMAC_CFGx register for channel x. Ensure that
the reload bits, DMAC_CFGx.SRC_REP, DMAC_CFGx.DST_REP and DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO are
enabled.
̶
̶
986
i. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination
peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the
SRC_H2SEL/DST_h2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a ‘1’ activates the hardware handshaking
interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a ‘0’ activates the
software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.
ii. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign
handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the
SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.
3.
After the DMAC selected channel has been programmed, enable the channel by writing a ‘1’ to the
DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n] bit where is the channel number. Make sure that bit 0 of the DMAC_EN register is
enabled.
4.
Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming
non-memory peripherals). The DMAC acknowledges on completion of each chunk/single transaction and
carry out the buffer transfer.
5.
When the buffer transfer has completed, the DMAC reloads the DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx and
DMAC_CTRLAx registers. Hardware sets the buffer Complete interrupt. The DMAC then samples the row
number as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979. If the DMAC is in Row 1, then the DMAC transfer has
completed. Hardware sets the transfer complete interrupt and disables the channel. So you can either
respond to the Buffer Complete or Chained buffer transfer Complete interrupts, or poll for the Channel
Enable in the Channel Status Register (DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE[n]) until it is disabled, to detect when the
transfer is complete. If the DMAC is not in Row 1, the next step is performed.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
6.
The DMAC transfer proceeds as follows:
a. If interrupts is un-masked (DMAC_EBCIMR.BTC[x] = ‘1’, where x is the channel number) hardware
sets the buffer complete interrupt when the buffer transfer has completed. It then stalls until the
STALLED[n] bit of DMAC_CHSR is cleared by software, writing ‘1’ to DMAC_CHER.KEEPON[n] bit
where n is the channel number. If the next buffer is to be the last buffer in the DMAC transfer, then the
buffer complete ISR (interrupt service routine) should clear the automatic mode bit in the
DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO bit. This put the DMAC into Row 1 as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979. If the
next buffer is not the last buffer in the DMAC transfer, then the reload bits should remain enabled to
keep the DMAC in Row 4.
b.
If the buffer complete interrupt is masked (DMAC_EBCIMR.BTC[x] = ‘1’, where x is the channel number), then hardware does not stall until it detects a write to the buffer complete interrupt enable
register DMAC_EBCIER but starts the next buffer transfer immediately. In this case software must
clear the automatic mode bit in the DMAC_CTRLB to put the DMAC into ROW 1 of Table 40-2 on
page 979 before the last buffer of the DMAC transfer has completed. The transfer is similar to that
shown in Figure 40-9. The DMAC transfer flow is shown in Figure 40-10 on page 988.

1.
Read the Channel Enable register to choose a free (disabled) channel.
2.
Set up the chain of linked list items (otherwise known as buffer descriptors) in memory. Write the control
information in the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx registers location of the buffer descriptor for
each LLI in memory for channel x. For example, in the register you can program the following:
a. Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow control peripheral by programming the FC of the DMAC_CTRLBx register.
b. Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:
̶
̶
̶
3.
Note:

i. Transfer width for the source in the SRC_WIDTH field.
ii. Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.
iii. Source AHB master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.

̶
v. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.
̶
vi. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination DST_INCR field.
Write the starting source address in the DMAC_SADDRx register for channel x.
The values in the LLI.DMAC_SADDRx register locations of each of the Linked List Items (LLIs) setup up in memory,
although fetched during a LLI fetch, are not used.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
4.
Write the channel configuration information into the DMAC_CFGx register for channel x.
a. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination
peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the
SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a ‘1’ activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a ‘0’ activates the
software handshaking interface source/destination requests.
b. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign
handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the
SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.
5.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register locations of all LLIs in memory (except the last) are set as
shown in Row 6 of Table 40-2 on page 979 while the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register of the last Linked List item
must be set as described in Row 1 of Table 40-2. Figure 40-5 on page 978 shows a Linked List example with
two list items.
6.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DSCRx register locations of all LLIs in memory (except the last) are non-zero
and point to the next Linked List Item.
7.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register location of all LLIs in memory point to the start destination
buffer address proceeding that LLI fetch.
8.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTLx.DONE field of the LLI.DMAC_CTRLA register locations of all LLIs in
memory is cleared.
9.
If source picture-in-picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SPIP is enabled), program the DMAC_SPIPx
register for channel x.
10. If destination picture-in-picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DPIP is enabled), program the DMAC_DPIPx
register for channel x.
11. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading to the
DMAC_EBCISR.
12. Program the DMAC_CTLx, DMAC_CFGx registers according to Row 6 as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979.
13. Program the DMAC_DSCRx register with DMAC_DSCRx(0), the pointer to the first Linked List item.
14. Finally, enable the channel by writing a ‘1’ to the DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n] bit where n is the channel
number. The transfer is performed. Make sure that bit 0 of the DMAC_EN register is enabled.
15. The DMAC fetches the first LLI from the location pointed to by DMAC_DSCRx(0).
Note:
The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DADDRx, LLI. DMAC_LLPx LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx
registers are fetched. The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx register although fetched is not used.
16. Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming
non-memory peripherals). DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and single) in
the buffer and carry out the buffer transfer.
17. The DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to system memory. The DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to
the same location on the same layer (DMAC_DSCRx.DSCR_IF) where it was originally fetched, that is the
location of the DMAC_CTRLAx register of the linked list item fetched prior to the start of the buffer transfer.
Only DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out, because only the DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE and
DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE fields have been updated by hardware within the DMAC. The
LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted to indicate buffer completion Therefore, software can poll the
LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE field of the DMAC_CTRLAx register in the LLi to ascertain when a buffer transfer
has completed.
Note:
Do not poll the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the DMAC memory map. Instead poll the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit
in the LLI for that buffer. If the polled LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted, then this buffer transfer has
completed. This LLI.DMAC_CTRLA.DONE bit was cleared at the start of the transfer.
18. The DMAC reloads the DMAC_SADDRx register from the initial value. Hardware sets the buffer complete
interrupt. The DMAC samples the row number as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979. If the DMAC is in Row
1, then the DMAC transfer has completed. Hardware sets the transfer complete interrupt and disables the

channel. You can either respond to the Buffer Complete or Chained buffer Transfer Complete interrupts, or
poll for the Channel Enable (DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE) bit until it is cleared by hardware, to detect when the
transfer is complete. If the DMAC is not in Row 1 as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979, the following step is
performed.
19. The DMAC fetches the next LLI from memory location pointed to by the current DMAC_DSCRx register, and
automatically reprograms the DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx
channel registers. Note that the DMAC_SADDRx is not re-programmed as the reloaded value is used for the
next DMAC buffer transfer. If the next buffer is the last buffer of the DMAC transfer then the DMAC_CTRLBx
and DMAC_DSCRx registers just fetched from the LLI should match Row 1 of Table 40-2 on page 979. The
DMAC transfer might look like that shown in Figure 40-11.

i. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination
peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the
SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a ‘1’ activates the hardware handshaking
interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a ‘0’ activates the
software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.
̶
ii. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign
handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the
SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.
4.
After the DMAC channel has been programmed, enable the channel by writing a ‘1’ to the
DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n] bit where n is the channel number. Make sure that bit 0 of the
DMAC_EN.ENABLE register is enabled.
5.
Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming
non-memory peripherals). The DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and
single) in the buffer and carries out the buffer transfer.
6.
When the buffer transfer has completed, the DMAC reloads the DMAC_SADDRx register. The
DMAC_DADDRx register remains unchanged. Hardware sets the buffer complete interrupt. The DMAC then
samples the row number as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979. If the DMAC is in Row 1, then the DMAC
transfer has completed. Hardware sets the transfer complete interrupt and disables the channel. So you can
either respond to the Buffer Complete or Transfer Complete interrupts, or poll for ENABLE field in the
Channel Status Register (DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE[n] bit) until it is cleared by hardware, to detect when the
transfer is complete. If the DMAC is not in Row 1, the next step is performed.
7.
The DMAC transfer proceeds as follows:
a. If the buffer complete interrupt is un-masked (DMAC_EBCIMR.BTC[x] = ‘1’, where x is the channel
number) hardware sets the buffer complete interrupt when the buffer transfer has completed. It then
stalls until STALLED[n] bit of DMAC_CHSR is cleared by writing in the KEEPON[n] field of
DMAC_CHER where n is the channel number. If the next buffer is to be the last buffer in the DMAC
transfer, then the buffer complete ISR (interrupt service routine) should clear the automatic mode bit,
DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO. This puts the DMAC into Row 1 as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979. If the
next buffer is not the last buffer in the DMAC transfer then the automatic transfer mode bit should
remain enabled to keep the DMAC in Row 11 as shown in Table 40-2 on page 979.
b.
If the buffer complete interrupt is masked (DMAC_EBCIMR.BTC[x] = ‘1’, where x is the channel number) then hardware does not stall until it detects a write to the buffer transfer completed interrupt
enable register but starts the next buffer transfer immediately. In this case software must clear the
automatic mode bit, DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO, to put the device into ROW 1 of Table 40-2 on page 979
before the last buffer of the DMAC transfer has completed.
The transfer is similar to that shown in Figure 40-13 on page 993.
The DMAC Transfer flow is shown in Figure 40-14 on page 994.

Note:
4.
The values in the LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register location of each Linked List Item (LLI) in memory, although fetched
during an LLI fetch, are not used.
Write the channel configuration information into the DMAC_CFGx register for channel x.
a. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination
peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the
SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a ‘1’ activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a ‘0’ activates the
software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.
b. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign
handshaking interface to the source and destination peripherals. This requires programming the
SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.
5.
Make sure that all LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register locations of the LLI (except the last) are set as shown in Row
2 of Table 40-2 on page 979, while the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register of the last Linked List item must be set
as described in Row 1 of Table 40-2. Figure 40-5 on page 978 shows a Linked List example with two list
items.
6.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DSCRx register locations of all LLIs in memory (except the last) are non-zero
and point to the next Linked List Item.
7.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_SADDRx register location of all LLIs in memory point to the start source
buffer address proceeding that LLI fetch.
8.
Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE field of the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx register locations of all LLIs
in memory is cleared.
9.
If source picture-in-picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SPIP is enabled), program the DMAC_SPIPx
register for channel x.
10. If destination picture-in-picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DPIP is enabled), program the DMAC_DPIPx
register for channel x.
11. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading the interrupt status
register.
12. Program the DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx registers according to Row 2 as shown in
Table 40-2 on page 979
13. Program the DMAC_DSCRx register with DMAC_DSCRx(0), the pointer to the first Linked List item.
14. Finally, enable the channel by writing a ‘1’ to the DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n] bit. The transfer is performed.
Make sure that bit 0 of the DMAC_EN register is enabled.
15. The DMAC fetches the first LLI from the location pointed to by DMAC_DSCRx(0).
Note:
The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DSCRx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLA/Bx registers are fetched.
The LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register location of the LLI although fetched is not used. The DMAC_DADDRx register in the
DMAC remains unchanged.
16. Source and destination requests single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data
(assuming non-memory peripherals). The DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction
(chunk and single) in the buffer and carry out the buffer transfer
17. Once the buffer of data is transferred, the DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to system memory at the
same location and on the same layer (DMAC_DSCRx.DSCR_IF) where it was originally fetched, that is, the
location of the DMAC_CTRLAx register of the linked list item fetched prior to the start of the buffer transfer.
Only DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out because only the DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE and
DMAC_CTRLAX.DONE fields have been updated by DMAC hardware. Additionally, the
DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted when the buffer transfer has completed.
Note:
Do not poll the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the DMAC memory map. Instead, poll the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit
in the LLI for that buffer. If the poll LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted, then this buffer transfer has completed.
This LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit was cleared at the start of the transfer.

18. The DMAC does not wait for the buffer interrupt to be cleared, but continues and fetches the next LLI from
the memory location pointed to by current DMAC_DSCRx register and automatically reprograms the
DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx channel registers. The
DMAC_DADDRx register is left unchanged. The DMAC transfer continues until the DMAC samples the
DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx registers at the end of a buffer transfer match that
described in Row 1 of Table 40-2 on page 979. The DMAC then knows that the previous buffer transferred
was the last buffer in the DMAC transfer.
The DMAC transfer might look like that shown in Figure 40-15 Note that the destination address is decrementing.

40.5.6 Disabling a Channel Prior to Transfer Completion
Under normal operation, software enables a channel by writing a ‘1’ to the Channel Handler Enable Register,
DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n], and hardware disables a channel on transfer completion by clearing the
DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE[n] register bit.
The recommended way for software to disable a channel without losing data is to use the SUSPEND[n] bit in
conjunction with the EMPTY[n] bit in the Channel Handler Status Register.
1.
If software wishes to disable a channel n prior to the DMAC transfer completion, then it can set the
DMAC_CHER.SUSPEND[n] bit to tell the DMAC to halt all transfers from the source peripheral. Therefore,
the channel FIFO receives no new data.
2.
Software can now poll the DMAC_CHSR.EMPTY[n] bit until it indicates that the channel n FIFO is empty,
where n is the channel number.
3.
The DMAC_CHER.ENABLE[n] bit can then be cleared by software once the channel n FIFO is empty, where
n is the channel number.
When DMAC_CTRLAx.SRC_WIDTH is less than DMAC_CTRLAx.DST_WIDTH and the
DMAC_CHSRx.SUSPEND[n] bit is high, the DMAC_CHSRx.EMPTY[n] is asserted once the contents of the FIFO
do not permit a single word of DMAC_CTRLAx.DST_WIDTH to be formed. However, there may still be data in the
channel FIFO but not enough to form a single transfer of DMAC_CTLx.DST_WIDTH width. In this configuration,
once the channel is disabled, the remaining data in the channel FIFO are not transferred to the destination
peripheral. It is permitted to remove the channel from the suspension state by writing a ‘1’ to the
DMAC_CHER.RESUME[n] field register. The DMAC transfer completes in the normal manner. n defines the
channel number.
Note:
If a channel is disabled by software, an active single or chunk transaction is not guaranteed to receive an
acknowledgement.
40.5.6.1 Abnormal Transfer Termination
A DMAC transfer may be terminated abruptly by software by clearing the channel enable bit,
DMAC_CHDR.ENABLE[n] where n is the channel number. This does not mean that the channel is disabled
immediately after the DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE[n] bit is cleared over the APB interface. Consider this as a request to
disable the channel. The DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE[n] must be polled and then it must be confirmed that the channel
is disabled by reading back 0.
Software may terminate all channels abruptly by clearing the global enable bit in the DMAC Configuration Register
(DMAC_EN.ENABLE bit). Again, this does not mean that all channels are disabled immediately after the
DMAC_EN.ENABLE is cleared over the APB slave interface. Consider this as a request to disable all channels.
The DMAC_CHSR.ENABLE must be polled and then it must be confirmed that all channels are disabled by
reading back ‘0’.
Note:
Note:
998
If the channel enable bit is cleared while there is data in the channel FIFO, this data is not sent to the destination
peripheral and is not present when the channel is re-enabled. For read sensitive source peripherals, such as a source
FIFO, this data is therefore lost. When the source is not a read sensitive device (i.e., memory), disabling a channel
without waiting for the channel FIFO to empty may be acceptable as the data is available from the source peripheral
upon request and is not lost.
If a channel is disabled by software, an active single or chunk transaction is not guaranteed to receive an
acknowledgement.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
40.6
DMAC Software Requirements
There must not be any write operation to Channel registers in an active channel after the channel enable is
made HIGH. If any channel parameters must be reprogrammed, this can only be done after disabling the
DMAC channel.
When destination peripheral is defined as the flow controller, source single transfer request are not serviced
until Destination Peripheral has asserted its Last Transfer Flag.
When Source Peripheral is flow controller, destination single transfer request are not serviced until Source
Peripheral has asserted its Last Transfer Flag.
When destination peripheral is defined as the flow controller, if the destination width is smaller than the
source width, then a data loss may occur, and the loss is equal to Source Single Transfer size in bytesdestination Single Transfer size in bytes.
When a Memory to Peripheral transfer occurs if the destination peripheral is flow controller, then a prefetch
operation is performed. It means that data are extracted from memory before any request from the
peripheral is generated.
You must program the DMAC_SADDRx and DMAC_DADDRx channel registers with a byte, half-word and
word aligned address depending on the source width and destination width.
After the software disables a channel by writing into the channel disable register, it must re-enable the
channel only after it has polled a 0 in the corresponding channel enable status register. This is because the
current AHB Burst must terminate properly.
If you program the BTSIZE field in the DMAC_CTRLA, as zero, and the DMAC is defined as the flow
controller, then the channel is automatically disabled.
When hardware handshaking interface protocol is fully implemented, a peripheral is expected to deassert
any sreq or breq signals on receiving the ack signal irrespective of the request the ack was asserted in
response to.
Multiple Transfers involving the same peripheral must not be programmed and enabled on different channel,
unless this peripheral integrates several hardware handshaking interface.
When a Peripheral is flow controller, the targeted DMAC Channel must be enabled before the Peripheral. If
you do not ensure this the DMAC Channel might miss a Last Transfer Flag, if the First DMAC request is also
the last transfer.
When AUTO Field is set to TRUE, then the BTSIZE Field is automatically reloaded from its previous value.
BTSIZE must be initialized to a non zero value if the first transfer is initiated with AUTO field set to TRUE
even if LLI mode is enabled because the LLI fetch operation will not update this field.

Pulse Width Modulation Controller (PWM)
41.1
Description
The PWM macrocell controls several channels independently. Each channel controls one square output
waveform. Characteristics of the output waveform such as period, duty-cycle and polarity are configurable through
the user interface. Each channel selects and uses one of the clocks provided by the clock generator. The clock
generator provides several clocks resulting from the division of the PWM macrocell master clock.
All PWM macrocell accesses are made through APB mapped registers.
Channels can be synchronized, to generate non overlapped waveforms. All channels integrate a double buffering
system in order to prevent an unexpected output waveform while modifying the period or the duty-cycle.

Product Dependencies
41.5.1 I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the PWM may be multiplexed with PIO lines. The programmer must first program the
PIO controller to assign the desired PWM pins to their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the PWM are not used by
the application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO controller.
All of the PWM outputs may or may not be enabled. If an application requires only four channels, then only four
PIO lines will be assigned to PWM outputs.

41.5.2 Power Management
The PWM is not continuously clocked. The programmer must first enable the PWM clock in the Power
Management Controller (PMC) before using the PWM. However, if the application does not require PWM
operations, the PWM clock can be stopped when not needed and be restarted later. In this case, the PWM will
resume its operations where it left off.
Configuring the PWM does not require the PWM clock to be enabled.
41.5.3 Interrupt Sources
The PWM interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the Advanced Interrupt Controller. Using the
PWM interrupt requires the AIC to be programmed first. Note that it is not recommended to use the PWM interrupt
line in edge sensitive mode.

CAUTION: Before using the PWM macrocell, the programmer must first enable the PWM clock in the Power
Management Controller (PMC).
The PWM macrocell master clock, MCK, is divided in the clock generator module to provide different clocks
available for all channels. Each channel can independently select one of the divided clocks.
The clock generator is divided in three blocks:
̶
̶
a modulo n counter which provides 11 clocks: fMCK, fMCK/2, fMCK/4, fMCK/8, fMCK/16, fMCK/32, fMCK/64,
fMCK/128, fMCK/256, fMCK/512, fMCK/1024
two linear dividers (1, 1/2, 1/3, ... 1/255) that provide two separate clocks: clkA and clkB
Each linear divider can independently divide one of the clocks of the modulo n counter. The selection of the clock
to be divided is made according to the PREA (PREB) field of the PWM Mode Register (PWM_MR). The resulting
clock clkA (clkB) is the clock selected divided by DIVA (DIVB) field value in the PWM Mode Register (PWM_MR).
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
1027
After a reset of the PWM controller, DIVA (DIVB) and PREA (PREB) in the PWM Mode register are set to 0. This
implies that after reset clkA (clkB) are turned off.
At reset, all clocks provided by the modulo n counter are turned off except clock “clk”. This situation is also true
when the PWM master clock is turned off through the Power Management Controller.

41.6.2.2 Waveform Properties
The different properties of output waveforms are:
the internal clock selection. The internal channel counter is clocked by one of the clocks provided by the
clock generator described in the previous section. This channel parameter is defined in the CPRE field of the
PWM_CMRx register. This field is reset at 0.
the waveform period. This channel parameter is defined in the CPRD field of the PWM_CPRDx register.
- If the waveform is left aligned, then the output waveform period depends on the counter source clock and
can be calculated:
By using the Master Clock (MCK) divided by an X given prescaler value
(with X being 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024), the resulting period formula will be:
(-----------------------------X × CPRD )MCK
By using a Master Clock divided by one of both DIVA or DIVB divider, the formula becomes, respectively:
( X*CPRD*DIVA )
( X*CPRD*DIVB )
----------------------------------------------- or ----------------------------------------------MCK
MCK
If the waveform is center aligned then the output waveform period depends on the counter source clock and
can be calculated:
By using the Master Clock (MCK) divided by an X given prescaler value
(with X being 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024). The resulting period formula will be:
(---------------------------------------2 × X × CPRD )
MCK
By using a Master Clock divided by one of both DIVA or DIVB divider, the formula becomes, respectively:
(----------------------------------------------------2*X*CPRD*DIVA -)
( 2*X*CPRD*DIVB )
or -----------------------------------------------------MCK
MCK
the waveform duty cycle. This channel parameter is defined in the CDTY field of the PWM_CDTYx
register.
If the waveform is left aligned then:
( period – 1 ⁄ fchannel_x_clock × CDTY )
duty cycle = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------period
If the waveform is center aligned, then:
( ( period ⁄ 2 ) – 1 ⁄ fchannel_x_clock × CDTY ) )
duty cycle = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( period ⁄ 2 )
the waveform polarity. At the beginning of the period, the signal can be at high or low level. This property is
defined in the CPOL field of the PWM_CMRx register. By default the signal starts by a low level.
the waveform alignment. The output waveform can be left or center aligned. Center aligned waveforms can
be used to generate non overlapped waveforms. This property is defined in the CALG field of the
PWM_CMRx register. The default mode is left aligned.

PWM0
PWM1
Period
Note:
1.
See Figure 41-5 on page 1031 for a detailed description of center aligned waveforms.
When center aligned, the internal channel counter increases up to CPRD and.decreases down to 0. This ends the
period.
When left aligned, the internal channel counter increases up to CPRD and is reset. This ends the period.
Thus, for the same CPRD value, the period for a center aligned channel is twice the period for a left aligned
channel.
Waveforms are fixed at 0 when:
CDTY = CPRD and CPOL = 0
CDTY = 0 and CPOL = 1
Waveforms are fixed at 1 (once the channel is enabled) when:
CDTY = 0 and CPOL = 0
CDTY = CPRD and CPOL = 1
The waveform polarity must be set before enabling the channel. This immediately affects the channel output level.
Changes on channel polarity are not taken into account while the channel is enabled.

41.6.3 PWM Controller Operations
41.6.3.1 Initialization
Before enabling the output channel, this channel must have been configured by the software application:
Configuration of the clock generator if DIVA and DIVB are required
Selection of the clock for each channel (CPRE field in the PWM_CMRx register)
Configuration of the waveform alignment for each channel (CALG field in the PWM_CMRx register)
Configuration of the period for each channel (CPRD in the PWM_CPRDx register). Writing in PWM_CPRDx
Register is possible while the channel is disabled. After validation of the channel, the user must use
PWM_CUPDx Register to update PWM_CPRDx as explained below.
Configuration of the duty cycle for each channel (CDTY in the PWM_CDTYx register). Writing in
PWM_CDTYx Register is possible while the channel is disabled. After validation of the channel, the user
must use PWM_CUPDx Register to update PWM_CDTYx as explained below.
Configuration of the output waveform polarity for each channel (CPOL in the PWM_CMRx register)
Enable Interrupts (Writing CHIDx in the PWM_IER)
Enable the PWM channel (Writing CHIDx in the PWM_ENA register)
It is possible to synchronize different channels by enabling them at the same time by means of writing
simultaneously several CHIDx bits in the PWM_ENA register.
In such a situation, all channels may have the same clock selector configuration and the same period
specified.
41.6.3.2 Source Clock Selection Criteria
The large number of source clocks can make selection difficult. The relationship between the value in the Period
Register (PWM_CPRDx) and the Duty Cycle Register (PWM_CDTYx) can help the user in choosing. The event
number written in the Period Register gives the PWM accuracy. The Duty Cycle quantum cannot be lower than
1/PWM_CPRDx value. The higher the value of PWM_CPRDx, the greater the PWM accuracy.
For example, if the user sets 15 (in decimal) in PWM_CPRDx, the user is able to set a value between 1 up to 14 in
PWM_CDTYx Register. The resulting duty cycle quantum cannot be lower than 1/15 of the PWM period.
41.6.3.3 Changing the Duty Cycle or the Period
It is possible to modulate the output waveform duty cycle or period.
To prevent unexpected output waveform, the user must use the update register (PWM_CUPDx) to change
waveform parameters while the channel is still enabled. The user can write a new period value or duty cycle value
in the update register (PWM_CUPDx). This register holds the new value until the end of the current cycle and
updates the value for the next cycle. Depending on the CPD field in the PWM_CMRx register, PWM_CUPDx either
updates PWM_CPRDx or PWM_CDTYx. Note that even if the update register is used, the period must not be
smaller than the duty cycle.

To prevent overwriting the PWM_CUPDx by software, the user can use status events in order to synchronize his
software. Two methods are possible. In both, the user must enable the dedicated interrupt in PWM_IER at PWM
Controller level.
The first method (polling method) consists of reading the relevant status bit in PWM_ISR Register according to the
enabled channel(s). See Figure 41-7.
The second method uses an Interrupt Service Routine associated with the PWM channel.
Note:
Reading the PWM_ISR automatically clears CHIDx flags.

Note:

41.6.3.4 Interrupts
Depending on the interrupt mask in the PWM_IMR, an interrupt is generated at the end of the corresponding
channel period. The interrupt remains active until a read operation in the PWM_ISR occurs.
A channel interrupt is enabled by setting the corresponding bit in the PWM_IER. A channel interrupt is disabled by
setting the corresponding bit in the PWM_IDR.

42.6.1 I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the compliant external devices may be multiplexed with PIO lines.
Before using the AC97 Controller receiver, the PIO controller must be configured in order for the AC97C receiver
I/O lines to be in AC97 Controller peripheral mode.
Before using the AC97 Controller transmitter, the PIO controller must be configured in order for the AC97C
transmitter I/O lines to be in AC97 Controller peripheral mode.

42.6.2 Power Management
The AC97 Controller is not continuously clocked. Its interface may be clocked through the Power Management
Controller (PMC), therefore the programmer must first configure the PMC to enable the AC97 Controller clock.
The AC97 Controller has two clock domains. The first one is supplied by PMC and is equal to MCK. The second
one is AC97CK which is sent by the AC97 Codec (Bit clock).
Signals that cross the two clock domains are re-synchronized. MCK clock frequency must be higher than the
AC97CK (Bit Clock) clock frequency.
42.6.3 Interrupt
The AC97 Controller interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC). Handling
interrupts requires programming the AIC before configuring the AC97C.
All AC97 Controller interrupts can be enabled/disabled by writing to the AC97 Controller Interrupt Enable/Disable
Registers. Each pending and unmasked AC97 Controller interrupt will assert the interrupt line. The AC97
Controller interrupt service routine can get the interrupt source in two steps:
Reading and ANDing AC97 Controller Interrupt Mask Register (AC97C_IMR) and AC97 Controller Status
Register (AC97C_SR).
Reading AC97 Controller Channel x Status Register (AC97C_CxSR).

42.7.2 Slot Description
42.7.2.1 Tag Slot
The tag slot, or slot 0, is a 16-bit wide slot that always goes at the beginning of an outgoing or incoming frame.
Within tag slot, the first bit is a global bit that flags the entire frame validity. The next 12 bit positions sampled by
the AC97 Controller indicate which of the corresponding 12 time slots contain valid data. The slot’s last two bits
(combined) called Codec ID, are used to distinguish primary and secondary codec.
The 16-bit wide tag slot of the output frame is automatically generated by the AC97 Controller according to the
transmit request of each channel and to the SLOTREQ from the previous input frame, sent by the AC97 Codec, in
Variable Sample Rate mode.
42.7.2.2 Codec Slot 1
The command/status slot is a 20-bit wide slot used to control features, and monitors status for AC97 Codec
functions.
The control interface architecture supports up to sixty-four 16-bit wide read-write registers. Only the even registers
are currently defined and addressed.
Slot 1’s bitmap is the following:
Bit 19 is for read-write command, 1 = read, 0 = write.
Bits [18:12] are for control register index.
Bits [11:0] are reserved.
42.7.2.3 Codec Slot 2
Slot 2 is a 20-bit wide slot used to carry 16-bit wide AC97 Codec control register data. If the current command port
operation is a read, the entire slot time is stuffed with zeros. Its bitmap is the following:
Bits [19:4] are the control register data
Bits [3:0] are reserved and stuffed with zeros.
42.7.2.4 Data Slots [3:12]
Slots [3:12] are 20-bit wide data slots, they usually carry audio PCM and/or modem I/O data.

Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
42.7.3 AC97 Controller Channel Organization
The AC97 Controller features a Codec channel and 2 logical channels: Channel A, Channel B.
The Codec channel controls AC97 Codec registers, it enables write and read configuration values in order to bring
the AC97 Codec to an operating state. The Codec channel always runs slot 1 and slot 2 exclusively, in both input
and output directions.
Channel A, Channel B transfer data to/from AC97 codec. All audio samples and modem data must transit by these
2 channels. However, Channels A and B are connected to PDC channels thus making it suitable for audio
streaming applications.
Each slot of the input or the output frame that belongs to this range [3 to 12] can be operated by Channel A or
Channel B. The slot to channel assignment is configured by two registers:
AC97 Controller Input Channel Assignment Register (AC97C_ICA)
AC97 Controller Output Channel Assignment Register (AC97C_OCA)
The AC97 Controller Input Channel Assignment Register (AC97C_ICA) configures the input slot to channel
assignment. The AC97 Controller Output Channel Assignment Register (AC97C_OCA) configures the output slot
to channel assignment.
A slot can be left unassigned to a channel by the AC97 Controller. Slots 0, 1,and 2 cannot be assigned to Channel
A or to Channel B through the AC97C_OCA and AC97C_ICA Registers.
The width of sample data, that transit via the Channel varies and can take one of these values; 10, 16, 18 or 20
bits.

42.7.3.1 AC97 Controller Setup
The following operations must be performed in order to bring the AC97 Controller into an operating state:
1.
Enable the AC97 Controller clock in the PMC controller.
2.
Turn on AC97 function by enabling the ENA bit in AC97 Controller Mode Register (AC97C_MR).
3.
Configure the input channel assignment by controlling the AC97 Controller Input Assignment Register
(AC97C_ICA).
4.
Configure the output channel assignment by controlling the AC97 Controller Input Assignment Register
(AC97C_OCA).
5.
Configure sample width for Channel A, Channel B by writing the SIZE bit field in AC97C Channel x Mode
Register (AC97C_CAMR), (AC97C_CBMR). The application can write 10, 16, 18,or 20-bit wide PCM
samples through the AC97 interface and they will be transferred into 20-bit wide slots.
6.
Configure data Endianness for Channel A, Channel B by writing CEM bit field in (AC97C_CAMR),
(AC97C_CBMR) register. Data on the AC-link are shifted MSB first. The application can write little- or bigendian data to the AC97 Controller interface.
7.
Configure the PIO controller to drive the RESET signal of the external Codec. The RESET signal must fulfill
external AC97 Codec timing requirements.
8.
Enable Channel A and/or Channel B by writing CEN bit field in AC97C_CxMR.
42.7.3.2 Transmit Operation
The application must perform the following steps in order to send data via a channel to the AC97 Codec:
Check if previous data has been sent by polling TXRDY flag in the AC97C Channel x Status Register
(AC97_CxSR). x being one of the 2 channels.
Write data to the AC97 Controller Channel x Transmit Holding Register (AC97C_CxTHR).
Once data has been transferred to the Channel x Shift Register, the TXRDY flag is automatically set by the AC97
Controller which allows the application to start a new write action. The application can also wait for an interrupt
notice associated with TXRDY in order to send data. The interrupt remains active until TXRDY flag is cleared.

AC97C_CxSR or wait for an interrupt notice associated with the same flag.

In most cases, the AC97 Controller is embedded in chips that target audio player devices. In such cases, the AC97
Controller is exposed to heavy audio transfers. Using the polling technique increases processor overhead and may
fail to keep the required pace under an operating system. In order to avoid these polling drawbacks, the application
can perform audio streams by using PDC connected to channel A, which reduces processor overhead and
increases performance especially under an operating system.
The PDC transmit counter values must be equal to the number of PCM samples to be transmitted, each sample
goes in one slot.
42.7.3.3 AC97 Output Frame
The AC97 Controller outputs a thirteen-slot frame on the AC-Link. The first slot (tag slot or slot 0) flags the validity
of the entire frame and the validity of each slot; whether a slot carries valid data or not. Slots 1 and 2 are used if the
application performs control and status monitoring actions on AC97 Codec control/status registers. Slots [3:12] are
used according to the content of the AC97 Controller Output Channel Assignment Register (AC97C_OCA). If the
application performs many transmit requests on a channel, some of the slots associated to this channel or all of
them will carry valid data.
42.7.3.4 Receive Operation
The AC97 Controller can also receive data from AC97 Codec. Data is received in the channel’s shift register and
then transferred to the AC97 Controller Channel x Read Holding Register. To read the newly received data, the
application must perform the following steps:
Poll RXRDY flag in AC97 Controller Channel x Status Register (AC97C_CxSR). x being one of the 2
channels.
Read data from AC97 Controller Channel x Read Holding Register.
The application can also wait for an interrupt notice in order to read data from AC97C_CxRHR. The interrupt
remains active until RXRDY is cleared by reading AC97C_CxSR.
The RXRDY flag in AC97C_CxSR is set automatically when data is received in the Channel x shift register. Data is
then shifted to AC97C_CxRHR.

If the previously received data has not been read by the application, the new data overwrites the data already
waiting in AC97C_CxRHR, therefore the OVRUN flag in AC97C_CxSR is raised. The application can either poll
the OVRUN flag in AC97C_CxSR or wait for an interrupt notice. The interrupt remains active until the OVRUN flag
in AC97C_CxSR is set.
The AC97 Controller can also be used in sound recording devices in association with an AC97 Codec. The AC97
Controller may also be exposed to heavy PCM transfers. The application can use the PDC connected to channel A
in order to reduce processor overhead and increase performance especially under an operating system.
The PDC receive counter values must be equal to the number of PCM samples to be received, each sample goes
in one slot.

42.7.3.5 AC97 Input Frame
The AC97 Controller receives a thirteen slot frame on the AC-Link sent by the AC97 Codec. The first slot (tag slot
or slot 0) flags the validity of the entire frame and the validity of each slot; whether a slot carries valid data or not.
Slots 1 and 2 are used if the application requires status informations from AC97 Codec. Slots [3:12] are used
according to AC97 Controller Output Channel Assignment Register (AC97C_ICA) content. The AC97 Controller
will not receive any data from any slot if AC97C_ICA is not assigned to a channel in input.
42.7.3.6 Configuring and Using Interrupts
Instead of polling flags in AC97 Controller Global Status Register (AC97C_SR) and in AC97 Controller Channel x
Status Register (AC97C_CxSR), the application can wait for an interrupt notice. The following steps show how to
configure and use interrupts correctly:
Set the interruptible flag in AC97 Controller Channel x Mode Register (AC97C_CxMR).
Set the interruptible event and channel event in AC97 Controller Interrupt Enable Register (AC97C_IER).
The interrupt handler must read both AC97 Controller Global Status Register (AC97C_SR) and AC97 Controller
Interrupt Mask Register (AC97C_IMR) and AND them to get the real interrupt source. Furthermore, to get which
event was activated, the interrupt handler has to read AC97 Controller Channel x Status Register (AC97C_CxSR),
x being the channel whose event triggers the interrupt.
The application can disable event interrupts by writing in AC97 Controller Interrupt Disable Register (AC97C_IDR).
The AC97 Controller Interrupt Mask Register (AC97C_IMR) shows which event can trigger an interrupt and which
one cannot.
42.7.3.7 Endianness
Endianness can be managed automatically for each channel, except for the Codec channel, by writing to Channel
Endianness Mode (CEM) in AC97C_CxMR. This enables transferring data on AC-link in Big Endian format without
any additional operation.

42.7.4 Variable Sample Rate
The problem of variable sample rate can be summarized by a simple example. When passing a 44.1 kHz stream
across the AC-link, for every 480 audio output frames that are sent across, 441 of them must contain valid sample
data. The new AC97 standard approach calls for the addition of “on-demand” slot request flags. The AC97 Codec
examines its sample rate control register, the state of its FIFOs, and the incoming SDATA_OUT tag bits (slot 0) of
each output frame and then determines which SLOTREQ bits to set active (low). These bits are passed from the
AC97 Codec to the AC97 Controller in slot 1/SLOTREQ in every audio input frame. Each time the AC97 controller
sees one or more of the newly defined slot request flags set active (low) in a given audio input frame, it must pass
along the next PCM sample for the corresponding slot(s) in the AC-link output frame that immediately follows.
The variable Sample Rate mode is enabled by performing the following steps:
Setting the VRA bit in the AC97 Controller Mode Register (AC97C_MR).
Enable Variable Rate mode in the AC97 Codec by performing a transfer on the Codec channel.
Slot 1 of the input frame is automatically interpreted as SLOTREQ signaling bits. The AC97 Controller will
automatically fill the active slots according to both SLOTREQ and AC97C_OCA register in the next transmitted
frame.
42.7.5 Power Management
42.7.5.1 Powering Down the AC-Link
The AC97 Codecs can be placed in low power mode. The application can bring AC97 Codec to a power down
state by performing sequential writes to AC97 Codec powerdown register. Both the bit clock (clock delivered by
AC97 Codec, AC97CK) and the input line (AC97RX) are held at a logic low voltage level. This puts AC97 Codec in
power down state while all its registers are still holding current values. Without the bit clock, the AC-link is
completely in a power down state.
The AC97 Controller should not attempt to play or capture audio data until it has awakened AC97 Codec.
To set the AC97 Codec in low power mode, the PR4 bit in the AC97 Codec powerdown register (Codec address
0x26) must be set to 1. Then the primary Codec drives both AC97CK and AC97RX to a low logic voltage level.
The following operations must be done to put AC97 Codec in low power mode:
Disable Channel A clearing CEN field in the AC97C_CAMR.
Disable Channel B clearing CEN field in the AC97C_CBMR.
Write 0x2680 value in the AC97C_COTHR.
Poll the TXEMPTY flag in AC97C_CxSRs for the 2 channels.
At this point AC97 Codec is in low power mode.
42.7.5.2 Waking up the AC-link
There are two methods to bring the AC-link out of low power mode. Regardless of the method, it is always the
AC97 Controller that performs the wake-up.
42.7.5.3 Wake-up Triggered by the AC97 Controller
The AC97 Controller can wake up the AC97 Codec by issuing either a cold or a warm reset.
The AC97 Controller can also wake up the AC97 Codec by asserting AC97FS signal, however this action should
not be performed for a minimum period of four audio frames following the frame in which the powerdown was
issued.
42.7.5.4 Wake-up Triggered by the AC97 Codec
This feature is implemented in AC97 modem codecs that need to report events such as Caller-ID and wake-up on
ring.
1060
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
The AC97 Codec can drive AC97RX signal from low to high level and holding it high until the controller issues
either a cold or a worm reset. The AC97RX rising edge is asynchronously (regarding AC97FS) detected by the
AC97 Controller. If WKUP bit is enabled in AC97C_IMR, an interrupt is triggered that wakes up the AC97
Controller which should then immediately issue a cold or a warm reset.
If the processor needs to be awakened by an external event, the AC97RX signal must be externally connected to
the WAKEUP entry of the system controller.

42.7.5.5 AC97 Codec Reset
There are three ways to reset an AC97 Codec.
42.7.5.6 Cold AC97 Reset
A cold reset is generated by asserting the RESET signal low for the minimum specified time (depending on the
AC97 Codec) and then by de-asserting RESET high. AC97CK and AC97FS is reactivated and all AC97 Codec
registers are set to their default power-on values. Transfers on AC-link can resume.
The RESET signal will be controlled via a PIO line. This is how an application should perform a cold reset:
Clear and set ENA flag in the AC97C_MR to reset the AC97 Controller
Clear PIO line output controlling the AC97 RESET signal
Wait for the minimum specified time
Set PIO line output controlling the AC97 RESET signal
AC97CK, the clock provided by AC97 Codec, is detected by the controller.
42.7.5.7 Warm AC97 Reset
A warm reset reactivates the AC-link without altering AC97 Codec registers. A warm reset is signaled by driving
AC97FX signal high for a minimum of 1us in the absence of AC97CK. In the absence of AC97CK, AC97FX is
treated as an asynchronous (regarding AC97FX) input used to signal a warm reset to AC97 Codec.
This is the right way to perform a warm reset:
Set WRST in the AC97C_MR.
Wait for at least 1us
Clear WRST in the AC97C_MR.
The application can check that operations have resumed by checking SOF flag in the AC97C_SR or wait for an
interrupt notice if SOF is enabled in AC97C_IMR.

Note: Each time slot in the data phase is 20 bit long. For example, if a 16-bit sample stream is being played to an AC 97 DAC, the first
16 bit positions are presented to the DAC MSB-justified. They are followed by the next four bit positions that the AC97 Controller
fills with zeroes. This process ensures that the least significant bits do not introduce any DC biasing, regardless of the
implemented DAC’s resolution (16-, 18-, or 20-bit)

True Random Number Generator (TRNG)
43.1
Description
The True Random Number Generator (TRNG) passes the American NIST Special Publication 800-22 and Diehard
Random Tests Suites.
As soon as the TRNG is enabled (TRNG_CTRL register), the generator provides one 32-bit value every 84 clock
cycles. Interrupt trng_int can be enabled through the TRNG_IER (respectively disabled in TRNG_IDR). This
interrupt is set when a new random value is available and is cleared when the status register is read (TRNG_SR).
The flag DATRDY of the status register (TRNG_ISR) is set when the random data is ready to be read out on the
32-bit output data register (TRNG_ODATA).
The normal mode of operation checks that the status register flag equals 1 before reading the output data register
when a 32-bit random value is required by the software application.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
44.1
Description
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is compliant with the American FIPS (Federal Information Processing
Standard) Publication 197 specification.
The AES supports all five confidentiality modes of operation for symmetrical key block cipher algorithms (ECB,
CBC, OFB, CFB and CTR), as specified in the NIST Special Publication 800-38A Recommendation. It is
compatible with all these modes via Peripheral DMA Controller channels, minimizing processor intervention for
large buffer transfers.
The 128-bit/192-bit/256-bit key is stored in four/six/eight 32-bit registers (AES_KEYWRx) which are all write-only.
The 128-bit input data and initialization vector (for some modes) are each stored in four 32-bit registers
(AES_IDATARx and AES_IVRx) which are all write-only.
As soon as the initialization vector, the input data and the key are configured, the encryption/decryption process
may be started. Then the encrypted/decrypted data is ready to be read out on the four 32-bit output data registers
(AES_ODATARx) or through the DMA channels.

Functional Description
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) specifies a FIPS-approved cryptographic algorithm that can be used to
protect electronic data. The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt
(decipher) information.
Encryption converts data to an unintelligible form called ciphertext. Decrypting the ciphertext converts the data
back into its original form, called plaintext. The CIPHER bit in the AES Mode Register (AES_MR) allows selection
between the encryption and the decryption processes.
The AES is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128/192/256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in blocks of 128
bits. This 128-bit/192-bit/256-bit key is defined in the Key Registers (AES_KEYWRx).
The input to the encryption processes of the CBC, CFB, and OFB modes includes, in addition to the plaintext, a
128-bit data block called the initialization vector (IV), which must be set in the Initialization Vector Registers
(AES_IVRx). The initialization vector is used in an initial step in the encryption of a message and in the
corresponding decryption of the message. The Initialization Vector Registers are also used by the CTR mode to
set the counter value.
44.4.1 Operation Modes
The AES supports the following modes of operation:
ECB: Electronic Code Book
CBC: Cipher Block Chaining
OFB: Output Feedback
CFB: Cipher Feedback
̶
CFB8 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 8 bits)
̶
CFB16 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 16 bits)
̶
CFB32 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 32 bits)
̶
CFB64 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 64 bits)
̶
CFB128 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 128 bits)
CTR: Counter
The data pre-processing, post-processing and data chaining for the concerned modes are automatically
performed. Refer to the NIST Special Publication 800-38A Recommendation for more complete information.
These modes are selected by setting the OPMOD field in the AES Mode Register (AES_MR).
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
1093
In CFB mode, five data sizes are possible (8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 bits), configurable by means of the CFBS field in
the mode register. (See “AES Mode Register” on page 1101.).
In CTR mode, the size of the block counter embedded in the module is 16 bits. Therefore, there is a rollover after
processing 1 megabyte of data.
44.4.2 Start Modes
The SMOD field in the AES Mode Register (AES_MR) allows selection of the encryption (or decryption) start
mode.
44.4.2.1 Manual Mode
The sequence order is as follows:
Write the Mode Register (AES_MR) with all required fields, including but not limited to SMOD and OPMOD.
Write the 128-bit/192-bit/256-bit key in the Key Registers (AES_KEYWRx).
Write the initialization vector (or counter) in the Initialization Vector Registers (AES_IVRx).
Note:
The Initialization Vector Registers concern all modes except ECB.
Set the bit DATRDY (Data Ready) in the AES Interrupt Enable register (AES_IER), depending on whether
an interrupt is required or not at the end of processing.
Write the data to be encrypted/decrypted in the authorized Input Data Registers (See Table 44-2).

In 64-bit CFB mode, writing to AES_IDATAR2 and AES_IDATAR3 registers is not allowed and may lead to errors in
processing.
In 32-, 16- and 8-bit CFB modes, writing to AES_IDATAR1, AES_IDATAR2 and AES_IDATAR3 registers is not allowed
and may lead to errors in processing.
Set the START bit in the AES Control register AES_CR to begin the encryption or the decryption process.
When processing completes, the bit DATRDY in the AES Interrupt Status Register (AES_ISR) raises. If an
interrupt has been enabled by setting the bit DATRDY in AES_IER, the interrupt line of the AES is activated.
When the software reads one of the Output Data Registers (AES_ODATARx), the DATRDY bit is
automatically cleared.
44.4.2.2 Auto Mode
The Auto Mode is similar to the manual one, except that in this mode, as soon as the correct number of Input Data
registers is written, processing is automatically started without any action in the Control Register.
1094
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
44.4.2.3 DMA Mode
The DMA Controller can be used in association with the AES to perform an encryption/decryption of a buffer
without any action by the software during processing.
The SMOD field of the AES_MR must be set either to 0x1 or 0x2 depending on how the DMA is configured.
The start address of any transfer descriptor must be set to AES_IDATAR0 register.
The DMA chunk size can be set either to single data or to 4 data per request.
If the entire AES message to be processed requires only a single DMA transfer descriptor, or if the message
is transferred using several DMA transfer descriptors which sizes are greater than 128 bits (4 words), the
DMA must be configured with non incremental addresses. Then, the SMOD field of the AES_MR must be
set to 0x2.
If the AES message is described using DMA transfer descriptors having a transfer size equal to 128 bits (4
words), the DMA must be configured to perform non incremental addresses. Then, the SMOD field of the
AES_MR must be set to 0x1.
When DMA is used, the type of data transfer (byte, half-word or word) depends on the operation mode.

44.4.3 Last Output Data Mode
This mode is used to generate cryptographic checksums on data (MAC) by means of cipher block chaining
encryption algorithm (CBC-MAC algorithm for example).
After each end of encryption/decryption, the output data is available either on the output data registers for Manual
and Auto mode or at the address specified in the receive buffer pointer for DMA mode (See Table 44-4).
The Last Output Data bit (LOD) in the AES Mode Register (AES_MR) allows retrieval of only the last data of
several encryption/decryption processes.
Therefore, there is no need to define a read buffer in DMA mode.
This data is only available on the Output Data Registers (AES_ODATARx).

Encryption or Decryption Process
If the user does not want to read the output data registers between each encryption/decryption, the DATRDY flag
will not be cleared. If the DATRDY flag is not cleared, the user cannot know the end of the following
encryptions/decryptions.
If LOD = 1
The DATRDY flag is cleared when at least one Input Data Register is written, so before the start of a new transfer
(See Figure 44-2). No more Output Data Register reads are necessary between consecutive
encryptions/decryptions.

44.4.3.2 DMA Mode
If LOD = 0
This mode may be used for all AES operating modes except CBC-MAC where LOD=1 mode is recommended.
The end of the encryption/decryption is notified by the end of DMA transfer associated to AES_ODATARx
registers (see Figure 44-3). 2 channels DMA are required, 1 for writing message blocks to AES_IDATARx
registers and the other one to get back the processed from AES_ODATARx registers.

If LOD = 1
This mode is recommended to process AES CBC-MAC operating mode.
The user must first wait for the DMA flag (BTC = Buffer Transfer Complete) to rise, then for DATRDY to ensure
that the encryption/decryption is completed (see Figure 44-4).
In this case, no receive buffers are required.
The output data is only available on the Output Data Registers (AES_ODATARx).

Warning: In DMA mode, reading to the Output Data registers before the last data transfer may lead to unpredictable result.
44.4.4 Security Features
44.4.4.1 Countermeasures
The AES also features hardware countermeasures that can be used to make more difficult the unexpected data
recovery.
These countermeasures can be enabled through the CTYPE field in the AES Mode Register. This field is writeonly, and all changes to it are taken into account if, at the same time, the Countermeasure Key (CKEY field) is
correctly written (see “AES Mode Register” on page 1101).
Note:
Enabling countermeasures has an impact on the AES encryption/decryption throughput.
By default, all the countermeasures are enabled.
The best throughput is achieved with all the countermeasures disabled. On the other hand, the best protection is
achieved with all of them enabled.
The LOADSEED bit in the AES Control Register (AES_CR) restarts the countermeasures generator to an internal
pre-defined value.
44.4.4.2 Unspecified Register Access Detection
When an unspecified register access occurs, the URAD bit in the Interrupt Status Register (AES_ISR) raises. Its
source is then reported in the Unspecified Register Access Type field (URAT). Only the last unspecified register
access is available through the URAT field.
Several kinds of unspecified register accesses can occur:
Input Data Register written during the data processing when SMOD=IDATAR0_START
Output Data Register read during data processing
Mode Register written during data processing
Output Data Register read during sub-keys generation
Mode Register written during sub-keys generation
Write-only register read access
The URAD bit and the URAT field can only be reset by the SWRST bit in the AES_CR.

Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES)
The Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) is compliant with the American FIPS (Federal Information Processing
Standard) Publication 46-3 specification.
The TDES supports the four different confidentiality modes of operation (ECB, CBC, OFB and CFB), specified in
the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) Publication 81 and is compatible with the Peripheral Data
Controller channels for all of these modes, minimizing processor intervention for large buffer transfers.
The 64-bit long keys and input data (and initialization vector for some modes) are each stored in two
corresponding 32-bit write-only registers:
Key x Word Registers TDES_KEYxWR0 and TDES_KEYxWR1
Input Data Registers TDES_IDATAR0 and TDES_IDATAR1
Initialization Vector Registers TDES_IVR0 and TDES_IVR1
As soon as the initialization vector, the input data and the key are configured, the encryption/decryption process
may be started. Then the encrypted/decrypted data is ready to be read out on the two 32-bit output data registers
(TDES_ODATARx) or through the PDC channels.

Product Dependencies
45.2.1 Power Management
The TDES may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), so the programmer must first
configure the PMC to enable the TDES clock.
45.2.2 Interrupt
The TDES interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC). Handling the TDES
interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the TDES.
45.3
Functional Description
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDES) specify FIPS-approved
cryptographic algorithms that can be used to protect electronic data. The TDES bit in the TDES Mode Register
(TDES_MR) is used to select either the single DES or the Triple DES mode.
Encryption (enciphering) converts data to an unintelligible form called ciphertext. Decrypting (deciphering) the
ciphertext converts the data back into its original form, called plaintext. The CIPHER bit in the TDES_MR is used to
choose between encryption and decryption.
A DES is capable of using cryptographic keys of 64 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in blocks of 64 bits. This 64-bit
key is defined in the Key 1 Word Registers (TDES_KEY1WRx).
A TDES key consists of three DES keys, which is also referred to as a key bundle. These three 64-bit keys are
defined, respectively, in the Key 1, 2 and 3 Word Registers (TDES_KEY1WRx, TDES_KEY2WRx and
TDES_KEY3WRx). In Triple DES mode (TDESMOD = 1 in TDES_MR), the KEYMOD bit in the TDES_MR is used
to choose between a two- and a three-key algorithm as summarized in Table 45-1.

The input to the encryption processes of the CBC, CFB, and OFB modes includes, in addition to the plaintext, a
64-bit data block called the initialization vector (IV), which must be set in the Initialization Vector Registers
(TDES_IVRx). The initialization vector is used in an initial step in the encryption of a message and in the
corresponding decryption of the message.
XTEA algorithm can be used instead of DES/TDES by configuring the TDESMOD field in the TDES_MR with the
appropriate value 0x2. An XTEA key consists of a 128-bit key. They are defined in the Key 1 and 2 Word Registers
(TDES_KEY1WRx, TDES_KEY2WRx).
The number of rounds of XTEA is defined in the TDES_XTEA_RNDR and can be programmed up to 64 (1 round =
2 Feistel network rounds).
All the start and operating modes of the TDES algorithm can be applied to the XTEA algorithm.

45.3.1 Operation Modes
The TDES supports the following modes of operation:
ECB—Electronic Code Book
CBC—Cipher Block Chaining
OFB—Output Feedback
CFB—Cipher Feedback
̶
CFB8 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 8 bits)
̶
CFB16 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 16 bits)
̶
CFB32 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 32 bits)
̶
CFB64 (CFB where the length of the data segment is 64 bits)
The data pre-processing, post-processing and data chaining for each mode are automatically performed. Refer to
the FIPS Publication 81 for more complete information.
These modes are selected by setting the OPMOD field in the TDES_MR.
In CFB mode, four data sizes are possible (8, 16, 32 and 64 bits), configurable by means of the CFBS field in the
TDES_MR (see Section 45.4.2 ”TDES Mode Register” on page 1121).
The OFB and CFB modes of operation are only available if 2-key mode is selected (KEYMOD = 1 in TDES_MR).
45.3.2 Start Modes
The SMOD field in the TDES_MR selects the encryption (or decryption) start mode.
45.3.2.1 Manual Mode
The sequence is as follows:
1.
Write the TDES_MR with all required fields, including but not limited to SMOD and OPMOD.
2.
Write the 64-bit key(s) in the different Key Word Registers (TDES_KEYxWRx), depending on whether one,
two or three keys are required.
3.
Write the initialization vector (or counter) in the Initialization Vector Registers (TDES_IVRx).
Note:
4.
The Initialization Vector Registers concern all modes except ECB.
Set the bit DATRDY (Data Ready) in the TDES Interrupt Enable register (TDES_IER), depending on whether
an interrupt is required or not at the end of processing.
5.
Write the data to be encrypted/decrypted in the authorized Input Data Registers (see Table 45-2).
6.
Set the START bit in the TDES Control Register (TDES_CR) to begin the encryption or the decryption
process.
7.
When the processing completes, the bit DATRDY in the TDES Interrupt Status Register (TDES_ISR) rises. If
an interrupt has been enabled by setting the bit DATRDY in TDES_IER, the interrupt line of the TDES is
activated.
8.
When the software reads one of the Output Data Registers (TDES_ODATARx), the DATRDY bit is
automatically cleared.

In 32-, 16- and 8-bit CFB mode, writing to TDES_IDATAR1 is not allowed and may lead to errors in processing.
45.3.2.2 Auto Mode
The Auto Mode is similar to Manual Mode, except that, as soon as the correct number of Input Data registers is
written, processing is automatically started without any action in the TDES_CR.
45.3.2.3 PDC Mode
The Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC) can be used in association with the TDES to perform an
encryption/decryption of a buffer without any action by the software during processing.
The SMOD field in the TDES_MR must be configured to 0x2.
The sequence is as follows:
1.
Write the TDES_MR with all required fields, including but not limited to SMOD and OPMOD.
2.
Write the key in the Key Registers (TDES_KEYxWRx).
3.
Write the initialization vector (or counter) in the Initialization Vector Registers (TDES_IVRx).
Note:
4.
Note:
The Initialization Vector Registers concern all modes except ECB.
Set the PDC Transmit Pointer Register to the address where the data buffer to encrypt/decrypt is stored and
the PDC Receive Pointer Register where it must be encrypted/decrypted.
Transmit and receive buffers can be identical.
5.
Set the PDC Transmit Counter Register and PDC Receive Counter Register to the same value. This value
must be a multiple of the data transfer type size (see Table 45-3 “Data Transfer Type for the Different
Operation Modes”).
Note:
The same requirements are necessary for the Next Pointer(s) and Counter(s) of the PDC (Transmit Next Pointer
Register, Receive Next Pointer Register, Transmit Next Counter Register, Receive Next Counter Register).
6.
If not already done, set the ENDRX bit (or RXBUFF if the next pointers and counters are used) in the
TDES_IER, depending on whether an interrupt is required or not at the end of processing.
7.
Enable the PDC in transmission and reception to start the processing (PDC Transfer Control Register).
8.
When the processing completes, the bit ENDRX (or RXBUFF) in the TDES_ISR rises. If an interrupt has
been enabled by setting the corresponding bit in TDES_IER, the interrupt line of the TDES is activated.
When PDC is used, the data size to transfer (byte, half-word or word) depends on the TDES mode of operations.
This size is automatically configured by the TDES.

45.3.3 Last Output Data Mode
This mode is used to generate cryptographic checksums on data (MAC) using a CBC-MAC or a CFB encryption
algorithm (See FIPS Publication 81 Appendix F).
After each end of encryption/decryption, the output data is available either on the output data registers for Manual
and Auto mode or at the address specified in the receive buffer pointer for PDC mode (See Table 45-4 “Last
Output Mode Behavior versus Start Modes”).
The Last Output Data bit (LOD) in the TDES_MR allows retrieval of only the last data of several
encryption/decryption processes.
This data is only available on the Output Data Registers (TDES_ODATARx).
Therefore, there is no need to define a read buffer in PDC mode.
45.3.3.1 Manual and Auto Modes
TDES_MR.LOD = 0
The DATRDY flag is cleared when at least one of the Output Data Registers is read. See Figure 45-1.

DATRDY
Encryption or Decryption Process
If the user does not want to read the output data registers between each encryption/decryption, the DATRDY flag
will not be cleared. If the DATRDY flag is not cleared, the user will not be informed of the end of the
encryptions/decryptions that follow.
TDES_MR.LOD = 1
The DATRDY flag is cleared when at least one Input Data Register is written, before the start of a new transfer.
See Figure 45-2. No further Output Data Register reads are necessary between consecutive
encryptions/decryptions.

The user must first wait for the ENDTX (or TXBUFE) flag to rise in the TDES_ISR, then for DATRDY to ensure that
the encryption/decryption is completed. See Figure 45-4.
In this case, no receive buffers are required.
The output data is only available on the Output Data Registers (TDES_ODATARx).

Warning: In PDC mode, reading to the Output Data registers before the last data transfer may lead to unpredictable
results.
45.3.4 Security Features
45.3.4.1 Unspecified Register Access Detection
When an unspecified register access occurs, the URAD bit in the TDES_ISR is set. Its source is then reported in
the Unspecified Register Access Type field (URAT). Only the last unspecified register access is available through
the URAT field.
Several kinds of unspecified register accesses can occur:
Input Data Register written during the data processing in PDC mode
Output Data Register read during the data processing
Mode Register written during the data processing
Write-only register read access
The URAD bit and the URAT field can only be reset by the SWRST bit in the TDES_CR.

• IV: Initialization Vector
The two 32-bit Initialization Vector registers are used to set the 64-bit initialization vector data block, which is used by some
modes of operation as an additional initial input.
IV1 corresponds to the first word of the Initialization Vector, IV2 to the last one.
These registers are write-only to prevent the Initialization Vector from being read by another application.
Note: These registers are not used for ECB mode and must not be written.

Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)
46.1
Description
The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is compliant with the American FIPS (Federal Information Processing
Standard) Publication 180-2 specification.
The 512-bit block of message is stored in 16 x 32-bit registers (SHA_IDATAxR) which are all write-only, by
software or through PDC channels.
As soon as the input data (512-bit block) is written, the hash processing may be started. The registers comprising
the 512-bit block of a padded message must be entered consecutively. Then the message digest is ready to be
read out on the 5 up to 8 x 32-bit output data registers (SHA_ODATAxR), by software only.

46.3.1 Power Management
The SHA may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), so the programmer must first
configure the PMC to enable the SHA clock.
46.3.2 Interrupt
The SHA interface has an interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC).
Handling the SHA interrupt requires programming the AIC before configuring the SHA.

46.4
Functional Description
The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) module requires a padded message according to FIPS180-2 specification. The
first block of the message must be indicated to the module. The SHA module produces a 160-bit message digest
each time a block is written in SHA1 mode or a 256-bit message digest each time a block is written in SHA256
mode.
46.4.1 SHA Algorithm
The module can process SHA1 or SHA256 by means of a configuration bit.
46.4.2 Processing Period
The processing period can be configured.
The short processing period allows to allocate bandwidth to the SHA module whereas the long processing period
allocates more bandwidth to other applications (example: PDC).
In SHA1 mode, the short processing period is 85 clock cycles + 2 clock cycles for start command synchronization.
The long period is 326 clock cycles + 2 clock cycles.
In SHA256 mode, the short processing period is 72 clock cycles + 2 clock cycles for start command
synchronization. The long period is 265 clock cycles + 2 clock cycles.
46.4.3 Start Modes
The SMOD field in the SHA Mode Register (SHA_MR) is used to select the hash processing start mode.
46.4.3.1 Manual Mode
The sequence is as follows:
Set the bit DATRDY (Data Ready) in the SHA Interrupt Enable Register (SHA_IER), depending on whether
an interrupt is required or not at the end of processing.
For the first 512-bit block of a message, the FIRST command must be set by writing a 1 into the
corresponding bit of the Control Register (SHA_CR). For the other blocks, there is nothing to write in this
Control Register.
Write the 512-bit block to be processed in the Input Data Registers.
Set the START bit in the SHA Control Register SHA_CR to begin the processing.
When the processing completes, the bit DATRDY in the SHA Interrupt Status Register (SHA_ISR) raises. If
an interrupt has been enabled by setting the bit DATRDY in SHA_IER, the interrupt line of the SHA is
activated.
Repeat the write procedure for each 512-bit block, start procedure and wait for the interrupt procedure up to
the last 512-bit block of the entire message. Each time the start procedure is complete, the DATRDY flag is
cleared.
After the last block is processed (DATRDY flag is set, if an interrupt has been enabled by setting the bit
DATRDY in SHA_IER, the interrupt line of the SHA is activated), read the message digest in the Output Data
Registers. The DATRDY flag is automatically cleared when reading the SHA_ODATAxR read only registers.
46.4.3.2 Auto Mode
Auto Mode is similar to Manual Mode, except that in this mode, as soon as the correct number of Input Data
Registers is written, processing is automatically started without any action in the control register.
46.4.3.3 PDC Mode
The Peripheral Data Controller (PDC or Peripheral DMA) can be used in association with the SHA to perform the
algorithm on a complete message without any action by the software during processing.
In this starting mode, the type of the data transfer is set in words:
1136
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
The sequence is as follows:
Set the Transmit Pointer Register (SHA_TPR) to the address where the data buffer to process is stored.
Set the Transmit Counter Registers (SHA_TCR) to the same value. This value must be a multiple of words.
Note:
The same requirements are necessary for the Next Pointer(s) and Counter(s) of the PDC (SHA_TNPR, SHA_TNCR).
If not already done, set the bit ENDTX (or TXBUFF if the next pointers and counters are used) in the SHA
Interrupt Enable Register (SHA_IER), depending on whether an interrupt is required or not at the end of
processing.
If not already done, set the bit DATRDY in SHA Interrupt Enable Register (SHA_IER).
Enable the PDC in transmission to start the processing (SHA_PTCR).
When the processing completes, the bit ENDTX (or TXBUFF) in the SHA Interrupt Status Register
(SHA_ISR) raises. If an interrupt has been enabled by setting the corresponding in SHA_IER, the interrupt
line of the SHA is activated.
As soon as bit ENDTX (or TXBUFF) or interrupt is triggered, the DATRDY bit or interrupt line must be
triggered.
The message digest can be read from the Output Data Registers (SHA_ODATAxR read only registers).
46.4.4 Security Features
When an unspecified register access occurs, the URAD bit in the Interrupt Status Register (SHA_ISR) raises. Its
source is then reported in the Unspecified Register Access Type field (URAT). Only the last unspecified register
access is available through the URAT field.
Several kinds of unspecified register accesses can occur:
Input Data Register written during the data processing in PDC mode
Output Data Register read during the data processing
Mode Register written during the data processing
Write-only register read access
The URAD bit and the URAT field can only be reset by the SWRST bit in the SHA_CR.

LCD Controller (LCDC)
47.1
Description
The LCD Controller (LCDC) consists of logic for transferring LCD image data from an external display buffer to an
LCD module with integrated common and segment drivers.
The LCD Controller supports single and double scan monochrome and color passive STN LCD modules and
single scan active TFT LCD modules. On monochrome STN displays, up to 16 gray shades are supported using a
time-based dithering algorithm and Frame Rate Control (FRC) method. This method is also used in color STN
displays to generate up to 4096 colors.
The LCD Controller has a display input buffer (FIFO) to allow a flexible connection of the external AHB master
interface, and a lookup table to allow palettized display configurations.
The LCD Controller is programmable in order to support many different requirements such as resolutions up to
2048 x 2048; pixel depth (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 bits per pixel); data line width (4, 8, 16 or 24 bits) and interface timing.
The LCD Controller is connected to the ARM Advanced High Performance Bus (AHB) as a master for reading pixel
data. However, the LCD Controller interfaces with the AHB as a slave in order to configure its registers.

I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the LCD Controller may be multiplexed with PIO lines. The programmer must first
program the PIO Controller to assign the pins to their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the LCD Controller are not
used by the application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO Controller.

Functional Description
The LCD Controller consists of two main blocks (Figure 47-1 on page 1148), the DMA controller and the LCD
controller core (LCDC core). The DMA controller reads the display data from an external memory through a AHB
master interface. The LCD controller core formats the display data. The LCD controller core continuously pumps
the pixel data into the LCD module via the LCD data bus (LCDD[23:0]); this bus is timed by the LCDDOTCK,
LCDDEN, LCDHSYNC, and LCDVSYNC signals.
47.6.1
DMA Controller
47.6.1.1 Configuration Block
The configuration block is a set of programmable registers that are used to configure the DMA controller operation.
These registers are written via the AHB slave interface. Only word access is allowed.
For details on the configuration registers, see “LCD Controller (LCDC) User Interface” on page 1174.
47.6.1.2 AHB Interface
This block generates the AHB transactions. It generates undefined-length incrementing bursts as well as 4-, 8- or
16-beat incrementing bursts. The size of the transfer can be configured in the BRSTLN field of the DMAFRMCFG
register. For details on this register, see “DMA Frame Configuration Register” on page 1182.
47.6.1.3 Channel-U
This block stores the base address and the number of words transferred for this channel (frame in single scan
mode and Upper Panel in dual scan mode) since the beginning of the frame. It also generates the end of frame
signal.
It has two pointers, the base address and the number of words to transfer. When the module receives a
new_frame signal, it reloads the number of words to transfer pointer with the size of the frame/panel. When the
module receives the new_frame signal, it also reloads the base address with the base address programmed by the
host.
The size of the frame/panel can be programmed in the FRMSIZE field of the DMAFRMCFG Register. This size is
calculated as follows:
X_size*Y_size
Frame_size = -----------------------------------32
where:
X_size = ((LINESIZE+1)*Bpp+PIXELOFF)/32
Y_size = (LINEVAL+1)
LINESIZE is the horizontal size of the display in pixels, minus 1, as programmed in the LINESIZE field of the
LCDFRMCFG register of the LCD Controller.
Bpp is the number of bits per pixel configured.
PIXELOFF is the pixel offset for 2D addressing, as programmed in the DMA2DCFG register. Applicable only
if 2D addressing is being used.
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
1151
Note:
LINEVAL is the vertical size of the display in pixels, minus 1, as programmed in the LINEVAL field of the
LCDFRMCFG register of the LCD Controller.
X_size is calculated as an up-rounding of a division by 32. (This can also be done adding 31 to the dividend before
using an integer division by 32). When using the 2D-addressing mode (see “2D Memory Addressing” on page 1172), it
is important to note that the above calculation must be executed and the FRMSIZE field programmed with every
movement of the displaying window, since a change in the PIXELOFF field can change the resulting FRMSIZE value.
47.6.1.4 Channel-L
This block has the same functionality as Channel-U, but for the Lower Panel in dual scan mode only.
47.6.1.5 Control
This block receives the request signals from the LCDC core and generates the requests for the channels.
47.6.2
LCD Controller Core
47.6.2.1 Configuration Block
The configuration block is a set of programmable registers that are used to configure the LCDC core operation.
These registers are written via the AHB slave interface. Only word access is allowed.
The description of the configuration registers can be found in “LCD Controller (LCDC) User Interface” on page
1174.
47.6.2.2 Datapath
The datapath block contains five submodules: FIFO, Serializer, Palette, Dithering and Shifter. The structure of the
datapath is shown in Figure 47-2.

Output Interface
This module transforms the data read from the memory into a format according to the LCD module used. It has
four different interfaces: the input interface, the output interface, the configuration interface and the control
interface.
The input interface connects the datapath with the DMA controller. It is a dual FIFO interface with a data bus
and two push lines that are used by the DMA controller to fill the FIFOs.
The output interface is a 24-bit data bus. The configuration of this interface depends on the type of LCD
used (TFT or STN, Single or Dual Scan, 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit or 24-bit interface).
The configuration interface connects the datapath with the configuration block. It is used to select between
the different datapath configurations.
The control interface connects the datapath with the timing generation block. The main control signal is the
data-request signal, used by the timing generation module to request new data from the datapath.
The datapath can be characterized by two parameters: initial_latency and cycles_per_data. The parameter
initial_latency is defined as the number of LCDC Core Clock cycles until the first data is available at the output of
the datapath. The parameter cycles_per_data is the minimum number of LCDC Core clock cycles between two
consecutive data at the output interface.

47.6.2.3 FIFO
The FIFO block buffers the input data read by the DMA module. It contains two input FIFOs to be used in Dual
Scan configuration that are configured as a single FIFO when used in single scan configuration.
The size of the FIFOs allows a wide range of architectures to be supported.
The upper threshold of the FIFOs can be configured in the FIFOTH field of the LCDFIFO register. The LCDC core
will request a DMA transfer when the number of words in each FIFO is less than FIFOTH words. To avoid
overwriting in the FIFO and to maximize the FIFO utilization, the FIFOTH should be programmed with:
FIFOTH (in Words) = 512 - (2 x DMA_BURST_LENGTH + 3)
where:
512 is the effective size of the FIFO in Words. It is the total FIFO memory size in single scan mode and half
that size in dual scan mode.
DMA_burst_length is the burst length of the transfers made by the DMA in Words.
47.6.2.4 Serializer
This block serializes the data read from memory. It reads words from the FIFO and outputs pixels (1 bit, 2 bits, 4
bits, 8 bits, 16 bits or 24 bits wide) depending on the format specified in the PIXELSIZE field of the LCDCON2
register. It also adapts the memory-ordering format. Both big-endian and little-endian formats are supported. They
are configured in the MEMOR field of the LCDCON2 register.
The organization of the pixel data in the memory depends on the configuration and is shown in Table 47-5 and
Table 47-6.
Note:
1154
For a color depth of 24 bits per pixel there are two different formats supported: packed and unpacked. The packed
format needs less memory but has some limitations when working in 2D addressing mode (See “2D Memory
Addressing” on page 1172.).

47.6.2.5 Palette
This block is used to generate the pixel gray or color information in palettized configurations. The different modes
with the palettized/non-palettized configuration can be found in Table 47-8. In these modes, 1, 2, 4 or 8 input bits
index an entry in the lookup table. The corresponding entry in the lookup table contains the color or gray shade
information for the pixel.

The lookup table can be accessed by the host in R/W mode to allow the host to program and check the values
stored in the palette. It is mapped in the LCD controller configuration memory map. The LUT is mapped as 16-bit
half-words aligned at word boundaries, only word write access is allowed (the 16 MSB of the bus are not used).
For the detailed memory map, see Table 47-15 on page 1174.
The lookup table contains 256 16-bit wide entries. The 256 entries are chosen by the programmer from the 216
possible combinations.

In STN Monochrome, only the four most significant bits of the red value are used (16 gray shades). In STN Color,
only the four most significant bits of the blue, green and red value are used (4096 colors).
In TFT mode, all the bits in the blue, green and red values are used. The LCDD unused bits are tied to 0 when TFT
palettized configurations are used (LCDD[18:16], LCDD[9:8], LCDD[2:0]).
47.6.2.6 Dithering
The dithering block is used to generate the shades of gray or color when the LCD Controller is used with an STN
LCD Module. It uses a time-based dithering algorithm and Frame Rate Control method.
The Frame Rate Control varies the duty cycle for which a given pixel is turned on, giving the display an
appearance of multiple shades. In order to reduce the flicker noise caused by turning on and off adjacent pixels at
the same time, a time-based dithering algorithm is used to vary the pattern of adjacent pixels every frame. This
algorithm is expressed in terms of Dithering Pattern registers (DP_i) and considers not only the pixel gray level
number, but also its horizontal coordinate.
Table 47-10 shows the correspondences between the gray levels and the duty cycle.

The duty cycles for gray levels 0 and 15 are 0 and 1, respectively.
The same DP_i register can be used for the pairs for which the sum of duty cycles is 1 (e.g., 1/7 and 6/7). The
dithering pattern for the first pair member is the inversion of the one for the second.
The DP_i registers contain a series of 4-bit patterns. The (3-m)th bit of the pattern determines if a pixel with
horizontal coordinate x = 4n + m (n is an integer and m ranges from 0 to 3) should be turned on or off in the current
frame. The operation is shown by the examples below.
Consider the pixels a, b, c and d with the horizontal coordinates 4*n+0, 4*n+1, 4*n+2 and 4*n+3, respectively. The
four pixels should be displayed in gray level 9 (duty cycle 3/5) so the register used is DP3_5 =”1010 0101 1010
0101 1111”.
The output sequence obtained in the data output for monochrome mode is shown in Table 47-11.

Consider now color display mode and two pixels p0 and p1 with the horizontal coordinates 4*n+0, and 4*n+1. A
color pixel is composed of three components: {R, G, B}. Pixel p0 will be displayed sending the color components
{R0, G0, B0} to the display. Pixel p1 will be displayed sending the color components {R1, G1, B1}. Suppose that
the data read from memory and mapped to the lookup tables corresponds to shade level 10 for the three color
components of both pixels, with the dithering pattern to apply to all of them being DP2_3 = “1101 1011 0110”.
Table 47-12 shows the output sequence in the data output bus for single scan configurations. (In Dual Scan
Configuration, each panel data bus acts like in the equivalent single scan configuration.)

47.6.2.7 Shifter
The FIFO, Serializer, Palette and Dithering modules process one pixel at a time in monochrome mode and three
sub-pixels at a time in color mode (R,G,B components). This module packs the data according to the output
interface. This interface can be programmed in the DISTYPE, SCANMOD, and IFWIDTH fields of the LDCCON3
register.
The DISTYPE field selects between TFT, STN monochrome and STN color display. The SCANMODE field selects
between single and dual scan modes; in TFT mode, only single scan is supported. The IFWIDTH field configures
the width of the interface in STN mode: 4-bit (in single scan mode only), 8-bit and 16-bit (in dual scan mode only).
For a more detailed description of the fields, see “LCD Controller (LCDC) User Interface” on page 1174.
For a more detailed description of the LCD Interface, see “LCD Interface” on page 1164.
47.6.2.8 Time Generator
The time generator block generates the control signals LCDDOTCK, LCDHSYNC, LCDVSYNC, LCDDEN, and
LCDMOD, used by the LCD module. This block is programmable in order to support different types of LCD
modules and obtain the output clock signals, which are derived from the LCDC Core clock.
The LCDMOD signal provides an AC signal for the display. It is used by the LCD to alternate the polarity of the row
and column voltages used to turn the pixels on and off. This prevents the liquid crystal from degradation. It can be
configured to toggle every frame (bit MMODE = 0 in LCDMVAL register) or to toggle every programmable number
of LCDHSYNC pulses (bit MMODE = 1, number of pulses defined in MVAL field of LCDMVAL register).
f LCD_HSYNC
f LCD_MOD = ----------------------------------------2 × ( MVAL + 1 )
Figure 47-3 and Figure 47-4 show the timing of LCDMOD in both configurations.

The LCDDOTCK signal is used to clock the data into the LCD drivers' shift register. The data is sent through
LCDD[23:0] synchronized by default with LCDDOTCK falling edge (rising edge can be selected). The CLKVAL
field of LCDCON1 register controls the rate of this signal. The divisor can also be bypassed with the BYPASS bit in
the LCDCON1 register. In this case, the rate of LCDDOTCK is equal to the frequency of the LCDC Core clock. The
minimum period of the LCDDOTCK signal depends on the configuration. This information can be found in Table
47-13.

The LCDDOTCK signal has two different timings that are selected with the CLKMOD field of the LCDCON2
register:

After each horizontal line of data has been shifted into the LCD, the LCDHSYNC is asserted to cause the line to be
displayed on the panel.
The following timing parameters can be configured:
Vertical to Horizontal Delay (VHDLY): The delay between the falling edge of LCDVSYNC and the generation
of LCDHSYNC is configurable in the VHDLY field of the LCDTIM1 register. The delay is equal to (VHDLY+1)
LCDDOTCK cycles.
Horizontal Pulse Width (HPW): The LCDHSYNC pulse width is configurable in HPW field of LCDTIM2
register. The width is equal to (HPW + 1) LCDDOTCK cycles.
Horizontal Back Porch (HBP): The delay between the LCDHSYNC falling edge and the first LCDDOTCK
rising edge with valid data at the LCD Interface is configurable in the HBP field of the LCDTIM2 register. The
delay is equal to (HBP+1) LCDDOTCK cycles.
Horizontal Front Porch (HFP): The delay between end of valid data and the generation of the next
LCDHSYNC is configurable in the HFP field of the LCDTIM2 register. The delay is equal to (HFP+VHDLY+2)
LCDDOTCK cycles.
There is a limitation in the minimum values of VHDLY, HPW and HBP parameters imposed by the initial latency of
the datapath. The total delay in LCDC clock cycles must be higher than or equal to the latency column in Table 474 on page 1154. This limitation is given by the following formula:
Equation 1
( VHDLY + HPW + HBP + 3 ) × PCLK_PERIOD ≥ DPATH_LATENCY
where:
VHDLY, HPW, HBP are the value of the fields of LCDTIM1 and LCDTIM2 registers
PCLK_PERIOD is the period of LCDDOTCK signal measured in LCDC Clock cycles
DPATH_LATENCY is the datapath latency of the configuration, given in Table 47-4 on page 1154
The LCDVSYNC is asserted once per frame. This signal is asserted to cause the LCD's line pointer to start over at
the top of the display. The timing of this signal depends on the type of LCD: STN or TFT LCD.
In STN mode, the high phase corresponds to the complete first line of the frame. In STN mode, this signal is
synchronized with the first active LCDDOTCK rising edge in a line.
In TFT mode, the high phase of this signal starts at the beginning of the first line. The following timing parameters
can be selected:
Vertical Pulse Width (VPW): LCDVSYNC pulse width is configurable in VPW field of the LCDTIM1 register.
The pulse width is equal to (VPW+1) lines.
Vertical Back Porch: Number of inactive lines at the beginning of the frame is configurable in VBP field of
LCDTIM1 register. The number of inactive lines is equal to VBP. This field should be programmed with 0 in
STN Mode.
Vertical Front Porch: Number of inactive lines at the end of the frame is configurable in VFP field of
LCDTIM2 register. The number of inactive lines is equal to VFP. This field should be programmed with 0 in
STN mode.
There are two other parameters to configure in this module, the HOZVAL and the LINEVAL fields of the
LCDFRMCFG:
HOZVAL configures the number of active LCDDOTCK cycles in each line. The number of active cycles in
each line is equal to (HOZVAL+1) cycles. The minimum value of this parameter is 1.
LINEVAL configures the number of active lines per frame. This number is equal to (LINEVAL+1) lines. The
minimum value of this parameter is 1.

Usually the LCD_FRM rate is about 70 Hz to 75 Hz. It is given by the following equation:
1
VHDLY + HPW + HBP + HOZVAL + HFP + ( 4 )
---------------------------- = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( VBP + LINEVAL + VFP + 1 )
f LCDDOTCK
f LCDVSYNC
where:
HOZVAL determines de number of LCDDOTCK cycles per line
LINEVAL determines the number of LCDHSYNC cycles per frame, according to the expressions shown
below:
In STN Mode:
Horizontal_display_size
HOZVAL = ---------------------------------------------------------- – 1
Number_data_lines
LINEVAL = Vertical_display_size – 1
In monochrome mode, Horizontal_display_size is equal to the number of horizontal pixels. The number_data_lines
is equal to the number of bits of the interface in single scan mode; number_data_lines is equal to half the bits of
the interface in dual scan mode.
In color mode, Horizontal_display_size equals three times the number of horizontal pixels.
In TFT Mode:
HOZVAL = Horizontal_display_size – 1
LINEVAL = Vertical_display_size – 1
The frame rate equation is used first without considering the clock periods added at the end beginning or at the
end of each line to determine, approximately, the LCDDOTCK rate:
f lcd_pclk = ( HOZVAL + 5 ) × ( f lcd_vsync × ( LINEVAL + 1 ) )
With this value, the CLKVAL is fixed, as well as the corresponding LCDDOTCK rate.
Then select VHDLY, HPW and HBP according to the type of LCD used and “Equation 1” on page 1161.
Finally, the frame rate is adjusted to 70–75 Hz with the HFP value:
1
HFP = f LCDDOTCK × -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- – ( VHDLY + HPW + HPB + HOZVAL + 4 )
f LCDVSYNC × ( LINEVAL + VBP + VFP + 1 )
The line counting is controlled by the read-only field LINECNT of LCDCON1 register. The LINECNT field
decreases by one unit at each falling edge of LCDHSYNC.

47.6.2.9 Display
This block is used to configure the polarity of the data and control signals. The polarity of all clock signals can be
configured by LCDCON2[12:8] register setting.
This block also generates the lcd_pwr signal internally used to control the state of the LCD pins and to turn on and
off by software the LCD module.
It is also available on the LCDPWR pin.
This signal is controlled by the PWRCON register and respects the number of frames configured in the
GUARD_TIME field of PWRCON register (PWRCON[7:1]) between the write access to LCD_PWR field
(PWRCON[0]) and the activation/deactivation of lcd_pwr signal.
The minimum value for the GUARD_TIME field is one frame. This gives the DMA Controller enough time to fill the
FIFOs before the start of data transfer to the LCD.
47.6.2.10 PWM
This block generates the LCD contrast control signal (LCDCC) to make possible the control of the display's
contrast by software. This is an 8-bit PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal that can be converted to an analog
voltage with a simple passive filter.
The PWM module has a free-running counter whose value is compared against a compare register
(CONSTRAST_VAL register). If the value in the counter is less than that in the register, the output brings the value
of the polarity (POL) bit in the PWM control register: CONTRAST_CTR. Otherwise, the opposite value is output.
Thus, a periodic waveform with a pulse width proportional to the value in the compare register is generated.
Due to the comparison mechanism, the output pulse has a width between zero and 255 PWM counter cycles.
Thus by adding a simple passive filter outside the chip, an analog voltage between 0 and (255/256) × VDD can be
obtained (for the positive polarity case, or between (1/256) × VDD and VDD for the negative polarity case). Other
voltage values can be obtained by adding active external circuitry.
For PWM mode, the frequency of the counter can be adjusted to four different values using field PS of
CONTRAST_CTR.
47.6.3
LCD Interface
The LCD Controller interfaces with the LCD Module through the LCD Interface (Table 47-14 on page 1169). The
Controller supports the following interface configurations: 24-bit TFT single scan, 16-bit STN Dual Scan Mono
(Color), 8-bit STN Dual (Single) Scan Mono (Color), 4-bit single scan Mono (Color).
A 4-bit single scan STN display uses 4 parallel data lines to shift data to successive single horizontal lines one at a
time until the entire frame has been shifted and transferred. The 4 LSB pins of LCD Data Bus (LCDD [3:0]) can be
directly connected to the LCD driver; the 20 MSB pins (LCDD [23:4]) are not used.
An 8-bit single scan STN display uses 8 parallel data lines to shift data to successive single horizontal lines one at
a time until the entire frame has been shifted and transferred. The 8 LSB pins of LCD Data Bus (LCDD [7:0]) can
be directly connected to the LCD driver; the 16 MSB pins (LCDD [23:8]) are not used.
An 8-bit Dual Scan STN display uses two sets of 4 parallel data lines to shift data to successive upper and lower
panel horizontal lines one at a time until the entire frame has been shifted and transferred. The bus LCDD[3:0] is
connected to the upper panel data lines and the bus LCDD[7:4] is connected to the lower panel data lines. The rest
of the LCD Data Bus lines (LCDD[23:8]) are not used.
A 16-bit Dual Scan STN display uses two sets of 8 parallel data lines to shift data to successive upper and lower
panel horizontal lines one at a time until the entire frame has been shifted and transferred. The bus LCDD[7:0] is
connected to the upper panel data lines and the bus LCDD[15:8] is connected to the lower panel data lines. The
rest of the LCD Data Bus lines (LCDD[23:16]) are not used.
STN Mono displays require one bit of image data per pixel. STN Color displays require three bits (Red, Green and
Blue) of image data per pixel, resulting in a horizontal shift register of length three times the number of pixels per
1164
SAM9G46 Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11028G-ATARM-SAM9G46-Datasheet_08-Dec-15
horizontal line. This RGB or Monochrome data is shifted to the LCD driver as consecutive bits via the parallel data
lines.
A TFT single scan display uses up to 24 parallel data lines to shift data to successive horizontal lines one at a time
until the entire frame has been shifted and transferred. The 24 data lines are divided in three bytes that define the
color shade of each color component of each pixel. The LCDD bus is split as LCDD[23:16] for the blue component,
LCDD[15:8] for the green component and LCDD[7:0] for the red component. If the LCD Module has lower color
resolution (fewer bits per color component), only the most significant bits of each component are used.
All these interfaces are shown in Figure 47-8 to Figure 47-12.
Figure 47-8 shows the 24-bit single scan TFT display timing.
Figure 47-9 shows the 4-bit single scan STN display timing for monochrome and color modes.
Figure 47-10 on page 1166 shows the 8-bit single scan STN display timing for monochrome and color modes.

Interrupts
The LCD Controller generates six different IRQs. All the IRQs are synchronized with the internal LCD Core Clock.
The IRQs are:
DMA Memory error IRQ. Generated when the DMA receives an error response from an AHB slave while it is
doing a data transfer.
FIFO underflow IRQ. Generated when the Serializer tries to read a word from the FIFO when the FIFO is
empty.
FIFO overwrite IRQ. Generated when the DMA Controller tries to write a word in the FIFO while the FIFO is
full.
DMA end of frame IRQ. Generated when the DMA controller updates the Frame Base Address pointers.
This IRQ can be used to implement a double-buffer technique. For more information, see “Double-buffer
Technique” on page 1171.
End of Line IRQ. This IRQ is generated when the LINEBLANK period of each line is reached and the DMA
Controller is in inactive state.
End of Last Line IRQ. This IRQ is generated when the LINEBLANK period of the last line of the current
frame is reached and the DMA Controller is in inactive state.
Each IRQ can be individually enabled, disabled or cleared, in the LCD_IER (Interrupt Enable Register), LCD_IDR
(Interrupt Disable Register) and LCD_ICR (Interrupt Clear Register) registers. The LCD_IMR contains the mask
value for each IRQ source and the LDC_ISR contains the status of each IRQ source. A more detailed description
of these registers can be found in “LCD Controller (LCDC) User Interface” on page 1174.
47.8
Configuration Sequence
The DMA Controller starts to transfer image data when the LCDC Core is activated (Write to LCD_PWR field of
PWRCON register). Thus, the user should configure the LCDC Core and configure and enable the DMA Controller
prior to activation of the LCD Controller. In addition, the image data to be shows should be available when the
LCDC Core is activated, regardless of the value programmed in the GUARD_TIME field of the PWRCON register.
To disable the LCD Controller, the user should disable the LCDC Core and then disable the DMA Controller. The
user should not enable LIP again until the LCDC Core is in IDLE state. This is checked by reading the LCD_BUSY
bit in the PWRCON register.
The initialization sequence that the user should follow to make the LCDC work is:
Create or copy the first image to show in the display buffer memory.
If a palettized mode is used, create and store a palette in the internal LCD Palette memory (See “Palette” on
page 1156.
Configure the LCD Controller Core without enabling it:
̶
LCDCON1 register: Program the CLKVAL and BYPASS fields: these fields control the pixel clock
divisor that is used to generate the pixel clock LCDDOTCK. The value to program depends on the
LCD Core clock and on the type and size of the LCD Module used. There is a minimum value of the
LCDDOTCK clock period that depends on the LCD Controller Configuration, this minimum value can
be found in Table 47-13 on page 1160. The equations that are used to calculate the value of the pixel
clock divisor can be found at the end of the section “Time Generator” on page 1159.
̶
̶
1170
LCDCON2 register: Program its fields following their descriptions in the LCD Controller User Interface
section below and considering the type of LCD module used and the desired working mode. Consider
that not all combinations are possible.
LCDTIM1 and LCDTIM2 registers: Program their fields according to the datasheet of the LCD module
used and with the help of the “Time Generator” on page 1159. Note that some fields are not applicable
to STN modules and must be programmed with 0 values. Note also that there is a limitation on the

̶
LCDFRMCFG register: program the dimensions of the LCD module used.
̶
LCDFIFO register: To program it, use the formula in section “FIFO” on page 1154.
̶
LCDMVAL register: Its configuration depends on the LCD Module used and should be tuned to
improve the image quality in the display (See “Time Generator” on page 1159.)
̶
DP1_2 to DP6_7 registers: they are only used for STN displays. They contain the dithering patterns
used to generate gray shades or colors in these modules. They are loaded with recommended
patterns at reset, so it is not necessary to write anything on them. They can be used to improve the
image quality in the display by tuning the patterns in each application.
̶
PWRCON Register: this register controls the power-up sequence of the LCD, so take care to use it
properly. Do not enable the LCD (writing a 1 in LCD_PWR field) until the previous steps and the
configuration of the DMA have been finished.
̶
CONTRAST_CTR and CONTRAST_VAL: use this registers to adjust the contrast of the display, when
the LCDCC line is used.
Configure the DMA Controller. The user should configure the base address of the display buffer memory, the
size of the AHB transaction and the size of the display image in memory. When the DMA is configured the
user should enable the DMA. To do so the user should configure the following registers:
̶
47.9
DMABADDR1 and DMABADDR2 registers: In single scan mode only DMABADDR1 register must be
configured with the base address of the display buffer in memory. In dual scan mode DMABADDR1
should be configured with the base address of the Upper Panel display buffer and DMABADDR2
should be configured with the base address of the Lower Panel display buffer.
̶
DMAFRMCFG register: Program the FRMSIZE field. Note that in dual scan mode the vertical size to
use in the calculation is that of each panel. Respect to the BRSTLN field, a recommended value is a 4word burst.
̶
DMACON register: Once both the LCD Controller Core and the DMA Controller have been configured,
enable the DMA Controller by writing a “1” to the DMAEN field of this register. If using a dual scan
module or the 2D addressing feature, do not forget to write the DMAUPDT bit after every change to
the set of DMA configuration values.
̶
DMA2DCFG register: Required only in 2D memory addressing mode (see “2D Memory Addressing”
on page 1172).
Finally, enable the LCD Controller Core by writing a “1” in the LCD_PWR field of the PWRCON register and
do any other action that may be required to turn the LCD module on.
Double-buffer Technique
The double-buffer technique is used to avoid flickering while the frame being displayed is updated. Instead of using
a single buffer, there are two different buffers, the back buffer (background buffer) and the primary buffer (the
buffer being displayed).
The host updates the back buffer while the LCD Controller is displaying the primary buffer. When the back buffer
has been updated the host updates the DMA Base Address registers.
When using a Dual Panel LCD Module, both base address pointers should be updated in the same frame. There
are two possibilities:
Check the DMAFRMPTx register to ensure that there is enough time to update the DMA Base Address
registers before the end of frame.
Update the Frame Base Address Registers when the End Of Frame IRQ is generated.
Once the host has updated the Frame Base Address Registers and the next DMA end of frame IRQ arrives, the
back buffer and the primary buffer are swapped and the host can work with the new back buffer.
When using a dual-panel LCD module, both base address pointers should be updated in the same frame. In order
to achieve this, the DMAUPDT bit in DMACON register must be used to validate the new base address.

47.10 2D Memory Addressing
The LCDC can be configured to work on a frame buffer larger than the actual screen size. By changing the values
in a few registers, it is easy to move the displayed area along the frame buffer width and height.
Figure 47-13. Frame Buffer Addressing
Frame Buffer
Displayed Image
Base word address &
pixel offset
Line-to-line
address increment
In order to locate the displayed window within a larger frame buffer, the software must:
Program the DMABADDR1 (DMABADDR2) register(s) to make them point to the word containing the first
pixel of the area of interest.
Program the PIXELOFF field of DMA2DCFG register to specify the offset of this first pixel within the 32-bit
memory word that contains it.
Define the width of the complete frame buffer by programming in the field ADDRINC of DMA2DCFG register
the address increment between the last word of a line and the first word of the next line (in number of 32-bit
words).
Enable the 2D addressing mode by writing the DMA2DEN bit in DMACON register. If this bit is not activated,
the values in the DMA2DCFG register are not considered and the controller assumes that the displayed area
occupies a continuous portion of the memory.
The above configuration can be changed frame to frame, so the displayed window can be moved rapidly. Note that
the FRMSIZE field of DMAFRMCFG register must be updated with any movement of the displaying window. Note
also that the software must write bit DMAUPDT in DMACON register after each configuration for it to be accepted
by LCDC.
Note:
1172
In 24 bpp packed mode, the DMA base address must point to a word containing a complete pixel (possible values of
PIXELOFF are 0 and 8). This means that the horizontal origin of the displaying window must be a multiple of 4 pixels
or a multiple of 4 pixels minus 1 (x = 4n or x = 4n-1, valid origins are pixel 0,3,4,7,8,11,12, etc.).

52.3
SAM9G46 Errata - Rev. C Parts
52.3.1 Boot ROM
52.3.1.1 Boot ROM: NAND Flash boot does not support ECC Correction
The boot ROM allows booting from block 0 of a NAND Flash connected on CS3. However, the boot ROM does not
feature ECC correction on a NAND Flash.
Most of the NAND Flash vendors do not guarantee anymore that block 0 is error free. Therefore we advise to
locate the bootstrap program into another device supported by the boot ROM (DataFlash, Serial Flash, SDCARD
or EEPROM), and to implement a NAND Flash access with ECC.
Problem Fix/Workaround
None.
52.3.1.2 Boot ROM: SD Card Boot is not functional
The SD card boot functionality does not work due to an issue in the ROM Code.
Problem Fix/Workaround
The SD card boot functionality can be restored by connecting EBI_D0 and EBI_D6 via 10 KΩ resistors:
1. EBI_D0 should be connected to ground.
2. EBI_D6 should be connected to VDDIOM.
52.3.2 Error Correction Code Controller (ECC)
52.3.2.1 ECC: Computation with a 1 clock cycle long NRD/NWE pulse
If the SMC is programmed with NRD/NWE pulse length equal to 1 clock cycle, ECC can't compute the parity.
Problem Fix/Workaround
It is recommended to program SMC with a value superior to 1.
52.3.2.2 ECC: Uncomplete parity status when error in ECC parity
When a single correctable error is detected in ECC value, the error is located in ECC Parity register's field which
contains a 1 in the 24 least significant bits, except when the error is located in the 12th or the 24th bit. In this case,
these bits are always stuck at 0.
A Single correctable error is detected but it is impossible to correct it.
Problem Fix/Workaround
None.
52.3.2.3 ECC: Unsupported ECC per 512 words
1 bit ECC per 512 words is not functional.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Perform the ECC computation by software.
52.3.2.4 ECC: Unsupported hardware ECC on 16-bit Nand Flash
Hardware ECC on 16-bit Nand Flash is not supported.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Perform the ECC by software.

52.3.3 Ethernet MAC 10/100 (EMAC)
52.3.3.1 EMAC: Setup Timing Violation in RMII Mode
A setup timing violation occurs when using the EMAC in RMII mode only with I/Os in a 1.8V range [1.65V:1.95V]
and when the line load exceeds 20 pF. The RMII mode is fully functional with I/Os in a 3.3V range [3.0V:3.6V].
Problem Fix/Workaround
None
52.3.4 Pulse Width Modulation Controller PWM)
52.3.4.1 PWM: Zero Period
It is impossible to update a period equal to 0 by using the PWM_CUPD register.
Problem Fix/Workaround
None
52.3.5 RSTC: Software Reset During DDRAM Accesses
52.3.5.1 Software reset during DDRAM access
When a software reset (CPU and peripherals) occurs during DDRAM read access, the CPU will stop the DDRAM
clock.
The DDRAM maintains the data on the bus until the clock restarts. This will create a bus conflict if another
memory, sharing the external bus with the DDRAM, is accessed prior to completion of the read access to the
DDRAM. Such a conflict will occur when the device boots out of an external NAND or NOR Flash following a
software reset.
Problem Fix/Workaround
1) Boot from serial Flash
2) Before generating the software reset, the user must ensure that all the accesses to DDRAM are completed and
then put the DDRAM in self-refresh mode. The routine to generate the software reset must be located in internal
SRAM or in the ARM cache memory.
52.3.6 Static Memory Controller (SMC)
52.3.6.1 SMC: SMC Delay Access
In this document, the access is “Read/Write” in the Register Mapping table (SMC_DELAY1 to SMC_DELAY8
rows), and in the SMC DELAY I/O Register.
The current access is “Write-only”.
Problem Fix/Workaround
None

52.3.7 Serial Synchronous Controller (SSC)
52.3.7.1 SSC: Data sent without any frame synchro
When SSC is configured with the following conditions:
RF is in input,
TD is synchronized on a receive START (any condition: START field = 2 to 7)
TF toggles at each start of data transfer
Transmit STTDLY = 0
Check TD and TF after a receive START,
The data is sent but there is not any toggle of the TF line
Problem Fix/Workaround
Transmit STTDLY must be different from 0.
52.3.7.2 SSC: Unexpected delay on TD output
When SSC is configured with the following conditions:
TCMR.STTDLY more than 0
RCMR.START = Start on falling edge/Start on Rising edge/Start on any edge
RFMR.FSOS = None (input)
TCMR.START = Receive Start
Unexpected delay of 2 or 3 system clock cycles is added to TD output.
Problem Fix/Workaround
None
52.3.8 Touchscreen (TSADCC)
52.3.8.1 TSADCC: Pen detect accuracy is not good
Depending on LCD panels, the pen detect is noisy, leading to an unpredictable behavior.
Problem Fix/Workaround
An additional resistor solves the problem. Its value (between 100 kΩ and 250 kΩ) is to be tuned for the LCD panel.

52.3.9 USB High Speed Host Port (UHPHS) and Device Port (UDPHS)
52.3.9.1 UHPHS/UDPHS: USB Does Not Start after Power-up
The USB may not start properly at first use after power-up.
Booting out of the internal ROM fixes this issue because the workaround below is applied in the ROM Code.
Problem Fix/Workaround
There are two possible workarounds:
1.
Apply a hardware reset (NRST) after power-up
or:
2.
Activate the PLLUTMI twice, following the procedure below:
a. Start The UTMI PLL an wait for the PLL lock bit
b. Disable the UTMI PLL and wait 10 µ seconds minimum
c.
Restart the UTMI PLL and wait for the PLL Lock bit
Below is a possible implementation of the workaround:
/* First enable the UTMI PLL */
AT91C_BASE_PMC->CKGR_UCKR |= (AT91C_CKGR_UCKR_PLLCOUNT & (0x3 PMC_SR & AT91C_PMC_SR_LOCKU) == 0) && (tmp++ <
DELAY));
/* Disable the PLLUTMI and wait 10µs min*/
AT91C_BASE_PMC->CKGR_UCKR &= ~AT91C_CKGR_UCKR_UPLLEN;
tmp = 0;
while(tmp++ < DELAY2); // DELAY2 must be defined to fit the 10 µs min;
/* Re- enable the UTMI PLL and wait for the PLL lock status*/
AT91C_BASE_PMC->CKGR_UCKR |= (AT91C_CKGR_UCKR_PLLCOUNT & (0x3 PMC_SR & AT91C_PMC_SR_LOCKU) == 0) && (tmp++ <
DELAY));
