SAM4E Series
Atmel | SMART ARM-based Flash MCU
DATASHEET
Description
The Atmel® | SMART SAM4E series of Flash microcontrollers is based on the
high-performance 32-bit ARM ® Cortex ® -M4 RISC processor and includes a
floating point unit (FPU). It operates at a maximum speed of 120 MHz and
features up to 1024 Kbytes of Flash, 2 Kbytes of cache memory and up to
128 Kbytes of SRAM.
The SAM4E offers a rich set of advanced connectivity peripherals including
10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC supporting IEEE 1588 and dual CAN. With a singleprecision FPU, advanced analog features, as well as a full set of timing and
control functions, the SAM4E is the ideal solution for industrial automation, home
and building control, machine-to-machine communications, automotive
aftermarket and energy management applications.
The peripheral set includes a full-speed USB device port with embedded
transceiver, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC supporting IEEE 1588, a high-speed
MCI for SDIO/SD/MMC, an external bus interface featuring a static memory
controller providing connection to SRAM, PSRAM, NOR Flash, LCD Module and
NAND Flash, a parallel I/O capture mode for camera interface, hardware
acceleration for AES256, 2 USARTs, 2 UARTs, 2 TWIs, 3 SPIs, as well as a 4channel PWM, 3 three-channel general-purpose 32-bit timers (with stepper motor
and quadrature decoder logic support), a low-power RTC, a low-power RTT, 256bit General Purpose Backup Registers, 2 Analog Front End interfaces (16-bit
ADC, DAC, MUX and PGA), one 12-bit DAC (2-channel) and an analog
comparator.
The SAM4E devices have three software-selectable low-power modes: Sleep,
Wait and Backup. In Sleep mode, the processor is stopped while all other
functions can be kept running. In Wait mode, all clocks and functions are stopped
but some peripherals can be configured to wake up the system based on
predefined conditions.
The Real-time Event Managment allows peripherals to receive, react to and send
events in Active and Sleep modes without processor intervention.

Power Considerations
5.1
Power Supplies
The SAM4E has several types of power supply pins:
5.2
5.2.1
VDDCORE pins: power the core, the first flash rail, the embedded memories and the peripherals.
Voltage ranges from 1.08V to 1.32V.
VDDIO pins: power the peripheral I/O lines (Input/Output Buffers), the second flash rail, the backup part, the
USB transceiver, 32 kHz crystal oscillator and oscillator pads.
Voltage ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V.
VDDIN pins: voltage regulator input, DAC and Analog Comparator power supply.
Voltage ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V.
VDDPLL pin: powers the PLL, the Fast RC and the 3 to 20 MHz oscillator.
Voltage ranges from 1.08V to 1.32V.
Power-up Considerations
VDDIO Versus VDDCORE
VDDIO must always be higher than or equal to VDDCORE.
VDDIO must reach its minimum operating voltage (1.62 V) before VDDCORE has reached VDDCORE(min). The minimum
slope for VDDCORE is defined by (VDDCORE(min) - VT+) / tRST.
If VDDCORE rises at the same time as VDDIO, the VDDIO rising slope must be higher than or equal to 8.8 V/ms.
If VDDCORE is powered by the internal regulator, all power-up considerations are met

5.2.2
VDDIO Versus VDDIN
At power-up, VDDIO needs to reach 0.6 V before VDDIN reaches 1.0 V.
VDDIO voltage needs to be equal to or below (VDDIN voltage + 0.5 V).
5.3
Voltage Regulator
The SAM4E embeds a voltage regulator that is managed by the Supply Controller.
This internal regulator is designed to supply the internal core of SAM4E. It features two operating modes:
In Normal mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 500 µA static current and draws 80 mA of output
current. Internal adaptive biasing adjusts the regulator quiescent current depending on the required load
current. In Wait Mode quiescent current is only 5 µA.
In Backup mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 1.5 µA while its output (VDDOUT) is driven
internally to GND. The default output voltage is 1.20V and the start-up time to reach Normal mode is less
than 300 µs.
For adequate input and output power supply decoupling/bypassing, refer to Table 46-3, “1.2V Voltage Regulator
Characteristics,” on page 1357.
5.4
Typical Powering Schematics
The SAM4E supports a 1.62–3.6 V single supply mode. The internal regulator input is connected to the source and
its output feeds VDDCORE. Figure 5-2 shows the power schematics.
As VDDIN powers the voltage regulator, the DAC and the analog comparator, when the user does not want to use
the embedded voltage regulator, it can be disabled by software via the SUPC (note that this is different from
Backup mode).

Active Mode
Active mode is the normal running mode with the core clock running from the fast RC oscillator, the main crystal
oscillator or the PLLA. The power management controller can be used to adapt the frequency and to disable the
peripheral clocks.
5.6
Low-power Modes
The SAM4E has the following low-power modes: Backup mode, Wait mode and Sleep mode.
Note:
The Wait For Event instruction (WFE) of the Cortex-M4 core can be used to enter any of the low-power modes, however, this may add complexity in the design of application state machines. This is due to the fact that the WFE
instruction goes along with an event flag of the Cortex core (cannot be managed by the software application). The
event flag can be set by interrupts, a debug event or an event signal from another processor. Since it is possible for an
interrupt to occur just before the execution of WFE, WFE takes into account events that happened in the past. As a
result, WFE prevents the device from entering wait mode if an interrupt event has occurred.
Atmel has made provision to avoid using the WFE instruction. The workarounds to ease application design are as follows:
- For backup mode, switch off the voltage regulator and configure the VROFF bit in the Supply Controller Control Register (SUPC_CR).
- For wait mode, configure the WAITMODE bit in the PMC Clock Generator Main Oscillator Register of the Power
Management Controller (PMC)
- For sleep mode, use the Wait for Interrupt (WFI) instruction.
Complete information is available in Table 5-1 “Low-power Mode Configuration Summary”.
5.6.1
Backup Mode
The purpose of Backup mode is to achieve the lowest power consumption possible in a system which is
performing periodic wake-ups to perform tasks but not requiring fast startup time. Total current consumption is
1 µA typical (VDDIO = 1.8 V at 25°C).
The Supply Controller, zero-power power-on reset, RTT, RTC, backup registers and 32 kHz oscillator (RC or
crystal oscillator selected by software in the Supply Controller) are running. The regulator and the core supply are
off.
The SAM4E can be woken up from this mode using the pins WKUP0–15, the supply monitor (SM), the RTT or
RTC wake-up event.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
17
Backup mode is entered by writing a 1 to the VROFF bit of the Supply Controller Control Register (SUPC_CR) (A
key is needed to write the VROFF bit, refer to Section 18. “Supply Controller (SUPC)”) and with the SLEEPDEEP
bit in the Cortex-M4 System Control Register set to 1. (See the power management description in Section 11.
“ARM Cortex-M4 Processor”).
To enter Backup mode using the VROFF bit:
Write a 1 to the VROFF bit of SUPC_CR.
To enter Backup mode using the WFE instruction:
Write a 1 to the SLEEPDEEP bit of the Cortex-M4 processor.
Execute the WFE instruction of the processor.
In both cases, exit from Backup mode happens if one of the following enable wake-up events occurs:
Level transition, configurable debouncing on pins WKUPEN0–15
Supply Monitor alarm
RTC alarm
RTT alarm
5.6.2
Wait Mode
The purpose of Wait mode is to achieve very low power consumption while maintaining the whole device in a
powered state for a startup time of less than 10 µs. Current consumption in Wait mode is typically 32 µA (total
current consumption) if the internal voltage regulator is used.
In this mode, the clocks of the core, peripherals and memories are stopped. However, the core, peripherals and
memories power supplies are still powered. From this mode, a fast start up is available.
This mode is entered by setting the WAITMODE bit to 1 in the PMC Clock Generator Main Oscillator Register
(CKGR_MOR) in conjunction with FLPM = 0 or FLPM = 1 bits of the PMC Fast Startup Mode Register
(PMC_FSMR) or by the WFE instruction.
The Cortex-M4 is able to handle external or internal events in order to wake-up the core. This is done by
configuring the external lines WKUP0–15 as fast startup wake-up pins (refer to Section 5.8 “Fast Start-up”). RTC
or RTT Alarm and USB wake-up events can be used to wake up the CPU.
To enter Wait mode with WAITMODE bit:
1.
Select the 4/8/12 MHz fast RC oscillator as Main Clock.
2.
Set the FLPM field in the PMC_FSMR.
3.
Set Flash Wait State to 0.
4.
Set the WAITMODE bit = 1 in CKGR_MOR.
5.
Wait for Master Clock Ready MCKRDY = 1 in the PMC Status Register (PMC_SR).
To enter Wait mode with WFE:
1.
Select the 4/8/12 MHz fast RC oscillator as Main Clock.
2.
Set the FLPM field in the PMC_FSMR.
3.
Set Flash Wait State to 0.
4.
Set the LPM bit in the PMC_FSMR.
5.
Execute the Wait-For-Event (WFE) instruction of the processor.
In both cases, depending on the value of the field FLPM, the Flash enters one of three different modes:
FLPM = 0 in Standby mode (low consumption)
FLPM = 1 in Deep power-down mode (extra low consumption)
FLPM = 2 in Idle mode. Memory ready for Read access
Table 5-1 summarizes the power consumption, wake-up time and system state in Wait mode.

SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
5.6.3
Sleep Mode
The purpose of Sleep mode is to optimize power consumption of the device versus response time. In this mode,
only the core clock is stopped. The peripheral clocks can be enabled. The current consumption in this mode is
application dependent.
This mode is entered via Wait for Interrupt (WFI) or WFE instructions with bit LPM = 0 in PMC_FSMR.
The processor can be woken up from an interrupt if the WFI instruction of the Cortex-M4 is used or from an event
if the WFE instruction is used.
5.6.4
Low-power Mode Summary Table
The modes detailed above are the main low-power modes. Each part can be set to on or off separately and wakeup sources can be configured individually. Table 5-1 provides the configuration summary of the low-power modes.

1. When considering wake-up time, the time required to start the PLL is not taken into account. Once started, the device works with the 4/8/12 MHz fast RC
oscillator. The user has to add the PLL start-up time if it is needed in the system. The wake-up time is defined as the time taken for wake up until the first
instruction is fetched.
2. The external loads on PIOs are not taken into account in the calculation.
3. Supply Monitor current consumption is not included.
4. Total consumption is 1 μA typical (VDDIO = 1.8 V at 25°C).
5. Power consumption on VDDCORE. For total current consumption, please refer to Section 46. “SAM4E Electrical Characteristics”.
6. Depends on MCK frequency.
7. In this mode the core is supplied and not clocked but some peripherals can be clocked.
5.7
Wake-up Sources
The wake-up events allow the device to exit the Backup mode. When a wake-up event is detected, the Supply
Controller performs a sequence which automatically reenables the core power supply and the SRAM power
supply, if they are not already enabled. See Figure 18-4 ”Wake-up Sources”.
5.8
Fast Start-up
The SAM4E allows the processor to restart in a few microseconds while the processor is in Wait mode or in Sleep
mode. A fast start-up can occur upon detection of a low level on one of the 19 wake-up inputs (WKUP0 to
15 + RTC + RTT + USB).
The fast restart circuitry (shown in Figure 29-4 ”Fast Startup Circuitry”) is fully asynchronous and provides a fast
start-up signal to the Power Management Controller. As soon as the fast start-up signal is asserted, the PMC
automatically restarts the embedded 4/8/12 MHz Fast RC oscillator, switches the master clock on this 4 MHz clock
by default and reenables the processor clock.

6.
Input/Output Lines
The SAM4E has several kinds of input/output (I/O) lines such as general purpose I/Os (GPIO) and system I/Os.
GPIOs can have alternate functionality due to multiplexing capabilities of the PIO controllers. The same PIO line
can be used whether in I/O mode or by the multiplexed peripheral. System I/Os include pins such as test pins,
oscillators, erase or analog inputs.
6.1
General Purpose I/O Lines
GPIO Lines are managed by PIO Controllers. All I/Os have several input or output modes such as pull-up or pulldown, input Schmitt triggers, multi-drive (open-drain), glitch filters, debouncing or input change interrupt.
Programming of these modes is performed independently for each I/O line through the PIO controller user
interface. For more details, refer to Section 33. “Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO)”.
Some GPIOs can have an alternate function as analog input. When a GPIO is set in analog mode, all digital
features of the I/O are disabled.
The input/output buffers of the PIO lines are supplied through VDDIO power supply rail.
The SAM4E device embeds high speed pads able. See Section 46.11 “AC Characteristics” for more details.
Typical pull-up and pull-down value is 100 kΩ for all I/Os.
Each I/O line also embeds an ODT (On-Die Termination), (see Figure 6-1 below). It consists of an internal series
resistor termination scheme for impedance matching between the driver output (SAM4E) and the PCB trace
impedance preventing signal reflection. The series resistor helps to reduce IOs switching current (di/dt) thereby
reducing in turn, EMI. It also decreases overshoot and undershoot (ringing) due to inductance of interconnect
between devices or between boards. In conclusion, ODT helps diminish signal integrity issues.

If PB12 is used as PIO input in user applications, a low level must be ensured at startup to prevent Flash erase
before the user application sets PB12 into PIO mode.
When the 32kHz oscillator is used in Bypass mode, XIN32 (PA7) is used as external clock source input and
XOUT32 (PA8) can be left unconnected or used as GPIO.

7.2.3.2
Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller manages accesses performed by the masters of the system. It enables
reading the Flash and writing the write buffer. It also contains a User Interface, mapped on the APB.
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller ensures the interface of the Flash block.
It manages the programming, erasing, locking and unlocking sequences of the Flash using a full set of commands.
One of the commands returns the embedded Flash descriptor definition that informs the system about the Flash
organization, thus making the software generic.
7.2.3.3
Flash Speed
The user needs to set the number of wait states depending on the frequency used:
For more details, refer to the “AC Characteristics” section of the product “Electrical Characteristics”.
Target for the Flash speed at 0 wait state: 24 MHz.
7.2.3.4
Lock Regions
Several lock bits are used to protect write and erase operations on lock regions. A lock region is composed of
several consecutive pages, and each lock region has its associated lock bit.
Table 7-1.

If a locked-region’s erase or program command occurs, the command is aborted and the EEFC triggers an
interrupt.
The lock bits are software programmable through the EEFC User Interface. The command “Set Lock Bit” enables
the protection. The command “Clear Lock Bit” unlocks the lock region.
Asserting the ERASE pin clears the lock bits, thus unlocking the entire Flash.

7.2.3.5
Security Bit Feature
The SAM4E device features a security bit, based on a specific General Purpose NVM bit (GPNVM bit 0). When the
security is enabled, any access to the Flash, SRAM, Core Registers and Internal Peripherals either through the
ICE interface or through the Fast Flash Programming Interface, is forbidden. This ensures the confidentiality of the
code programmed in the Flash.
This security bit can only be enabled through the command “Set General Purpose NVM Bit 0” of the EEFC User
Interface. Disabling the security bit can only be achieved by asserting the ERASE pin at 1, and after a full Flash
erase is performed. When the security bit is deactivated, all accesses to the Flash, SRAM, Core registers, Internal
Peripherals are permitted.
The ERASE pin integrates a permanent pull-down. Consequently, it can be left unconnected during normal
operation. However, it is recommended, in harsh environment, to connect it directly to GND if the erase operation
is not used in the application.
To avoid unexpected erase at power-up, a minimum ERASE pin assertion time is required. This time is defined in
Table 46-68 “AC Flash Characteristics”.
The erase operation is not performed when the system is in Wait mode with the Flash in Deep-power-down mode.
To make sure that the erase operation is performed after power-up, the system must not reconfigure the ERASE
pin as GPIO or enter Wait mode with Flash in Deep-power-down mode before the ERASE pin assertion time has
elapsed.
The following sequence ensures the erase operation in all cases:
7.2.3.6
1.
Assert the ERASE pin (High)
2.
Assert the NRST pin (Low)
3.
Power cycle the device
4.
Maintain the ERASE pin high for at least the minimum assertion time.
Calibration Bits
NVM bits are used to calibrate the brownout detector and the voltage regulator. These bits are factory configured
and cannot be changed by the user. The ERASE pin has no effect on the calibration bits.
7.2.3.7
Unique Identifier
Each device integrates its own 128-bit unique identifier. These bits are factory configured and cannot be changed
by the user. The ERASE pin has no effect on the unique identifier.
7.2.3.8
User Signature
Each part contains a User Signature of 512 bytes. It can be used by the user to store user information, such as
trimming, keys, etc., that the customer does not want to be erased by asserting the ERASE pin or by software
ERASE command. Read, write and erase of this area is allowed.
7.2.3.9
Fast Flash Programming Interface
The Fast Flash Programming Interface allows programming the device through a multiplexed fully-handshaked
parallel port. It allows gang programming with market-standard industrial programmers.
The FFPI supports read, page program, page erase, full erase, lock, unlock and protect commands.
The Fast Flash Programming Interface is enabled and the Fast Programming Mode is entered when TST and PA0
and PA1are tied low.

SAM-BA Boot
The SAM-BA Boot is a default Boot Program which provides an easy way to program in-situ the on-chip Flash
memory.
The SAM-BA Boot Assistant supports serial communication via the UART.
The SAM-BA Boot provides an interface with SAM-BA Graphic User Interface (GUI).
The SAM-BA Boot is in ROM and is mapped in Flash at address 0x0 when GPNVM bit 1 is set to 0.
7.2.3.11
GPNVM Bits
The SAM4E device features two GPNVM bits. These bits can be cleared or set respectively through the
commands “Clear GPNVM Bit” and “Set GPNVM Bit” of the EEFC User Interface.
The Flash of SAM4E is composed of 1024 Kbytes in a single bank.

Boot mode selection
Boot Strategies
The system always boots at address 0x0. To ensure maximum boot possibilities, the memory layout can be
changed via GPNVM.
A general purpose NVM (GPNVM) bit is used to boot either on the ROM (default) or from the Flash.
The GPNVM bit can be cleared or set respectively through the commands “Clear General-purpose NVM Bit” and
“Set General-purpose NVM Bit” of the EEFC User Interface.
Setting GPNVM Bit 1 selects the boot from the Flash, clearing it selects the boot from the ROM. Asserting ERASE
clears the GPNVM Bit 1 and thus selects the boot from the ROM by default.
7.3
External Memories
The SAM4E device features one External Bus Interface to provide an interface to a wide range of external
memories and to any parallel peripheral.
7.4
Cortex-M Cache Controller (CMCC)
The SAM4E device features one cache memory and his controller which improve code execution when the code
runs out of Code section (memory from 0x0 to 0x2000_0000).
The Cache controller handles both command instructions and data, it is an unified cache:
L1 data cache size set to 2 Kbytes
L1 cache line is 16 bytes
L1 cache integrates 32 bits bus master interface
Unified 4-way set associative cache architecture

Real-time Event Management
The events generated by peripherals are designed to be directly routed to peripherals managing/using these
events without processor intervention. Peripherals receiving events contain logic by which to select the one
required.
8.1
Embedded Characteristics
8.2
Timers, PWM, IO peripherals generate event triggers which are directly routed to event managers such as
AFEC or DACC, for example, to start measurement/conversion without processor intervention.
UART, USART, SPI, TWI, PWM, HSMCI, AES, AFEC, DACC, PIO, TIMER (capture mode) also generate
event triggers directly connected to Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC) for data transfer without processor
intervention.
Parallel capture logic is directly embedded in PIO and generates trigger event to PDC to capture data
without processor intervention.
PWM security events (faults) are in combinational form and directly routed from event generators (AFEC,
ACC, PMC, TIMER) to PWM module.
PWM output comparators generate events directly connected to TIMER.
PMC security event (clock failure detection) can be programmed to switch the MCK on reliable main RC
internal clock without processor intervention.

Power-on-Reset, Brownout and Supply Monitor
The SAM4E device embeds three features to monitor, warn and/or reset the chip:
9.2.1
Power-on-Reset on VDDIO
Brownout Detector on VDDCORE
Supply Monitor on VDDIO
Power-on-Reset
The Power-on-Reset monitors VDDIO. It is always activated and monitors voltage at start up but also during power
down. If VDDIO goes below the threshold voltage, the entire chip is reset. For more information, refer to Section
46. “SAM4E Electrical Characteristics”.
9.2.2
Brownout Detector on VDDCORE
The Brownout Detector monitors VDDCORE. It is active by default. It can be deactivated by software through the
Supply Controller (SUPC_MR). It is especially recommended to disable it during low-power modes such as wait or
sleep modes.
If VDDCORE goes below the threshold voltage, the reset of the core is asserted. For more information, refer to the
Section 18. “Supply Controller (SUPC)” and Section 46. “SAM4E Electrical Characteristics”.
9.2.3
Supply Monitor on VDDIO
The Supply Monitor monitors VDDIO. It is not active by default. It can be activated by software and is fully
programmable with 16 steps for the threshold (between 1.6V to 3.4V). It is controlled by the Supply Controller
(SUPC). A sample mode is possible. It allows to divide the supply monitor power consumption by a factor of up to
2048. For more information, refer to the Section 18. “Supply Controller (SUPC)” and Section 46. “SAM4E Electrical
Characteristics”.

Peripheral Signal Multiplexing on I/O Lines
The SAM4E device features five PIO Controllers on 144-pin versions (PIOA, PIOB, PIOC, PIOD and PIOE) that
multiplex the I/O lines of the peripheral set.
The SAM4E PIO Controllers control up to 32 lines. Each line can be assigned to one of three peripheral functions:
A, B or C. The multiplexing tables in the following paragraphs define how the I/O lines of the peripherals A, B and
C are multiplexed on the PIO Controllers. The column “Comments” has been inserted in this table for the user’s
own comments; it may be used to track how pins are defined in an application.
Note that some peripheral functions which are output only, might be duplicated within the tables.

Cortex-M4 processor
11.1
Description
The Cortex-M4 processor is a high performance 32-bit processor designed for the microcontroller market. It offers
significant benefits to developers, including outstanding processing performance combined with fast interrupt
handling, enhanced system debug with extensive breakpoint and trace capabilities, efficient processor core,
system and memories, ultra-low power consumption with integrated sleep modes, and platform security
robustness, with integrated memory protection unit (MPU).
The Cortex-M4 processor is built on a high-performance processor core, with a 3-stage pipeline Harvard
architecture, making it ideal for demanding embedded applications. The processor delivers exceptional power
efficiency through an efficient instruction set and extensively optimized design, providing high-end processing
hardware including IEEE754-compliant single-precision floating-point computation, a range of single-cycle and
SIMD multiplication and multiply-with-accumulate capabilities, saturating arithmetic and dedicated hardware
division.
To facilitate the design of cost-sensitive devices, the Cortex-M4 processor implements tightly-coupled system
components that reduce processor area while significantly improving interrupt handling and system debug
capabilities. The Cortex-M4 processor implements a version of the Thumb® instruction set based on Thumb-2
technology, ensuring high code density and reduced program memory requirements. The Cortex-M4 instruction
set provides the exceptional performance expected of a modern 32-bit architecture, with the high code density of
8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers.
The Cortex-M4 processor closely integrates a configurable NVIC, to deliver industry-leading interrupt
performance. The NVIC includes a non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and provides up to 256 interrupt priority levels.
The tight integration of the processor core and NVIC provides fast execution of interrupt service routines (ISRs),
dramatically reducing the interrupt latency. This is achieved through the hardware stacking of registers, and the
ability to suspend load-multiple and store-multiple operations. Interrupt handlers do not require wrapping in
assembler code, removing any code overhead from the ISRs. A tail-chain optimization also significantly reduces
the overhead when switching from one ISR to another.
To optimize low-power designs, the NVIC integrates with the sleep modes, that include a deep sleep function that
enables the entire device to be rapidly powered down while still retaining program state.
11.1.1
System Level Interface
The Cortex-M4 processor provides multiple interfaces using AMBA® technology to provide high speed, low latency
memory accesses. It supports unaligned data accesses and implements atomic bit manipulation that enables
faster peripheral controls, system spinlocks and thread-safe Boolean data handling.
The Cortex-M4 processor has a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) that provides fine grain memory control, enabling
applications to utilize multiple privilege levels, separating and protecting code, data and stack on a task-by-task
basis. Such requirements are becoming critical in many embedded applications such as automotive.
11.1.2
Integrated Configurable Debug
The Cortex-M4 processor implements a complete hardware debug solution. This provides high system visibility of
the processor and memory through either a traditional JTAG port or a 2-pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port that is
ideal for microcontrollers and other small package devices.
For system trace the processor integrates an Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) alongside data watchpoints
and a profiling unit. To enable simple and cost-effective profiling of the system events these generate, a Serial
Wire Viewer (SWV) can export a stream of software-generated messages, data trace, and profiling information
through a single pin.

SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
The Flash Patch and Breakpoint Unit (FPB) provides up to eight hardware breakpoint comparators that debuggers
can use. The comparators in the FPB also provide remap functions of up to eight words in the program code in the
CODE memory region. This enables applications stored on a non-erasable, ROM-based microcontroller to be
patched if a small programmable memory, for example flash, is available in the device. During initialization, the
application in ROM detects, from the programmable memory, whether a patch is required. If a patch is required,
the application programs the FPB to remap a number of addresses. When those addresses are accessed, the
accesses are redirected to a remap table specified in the FPB configuration, which means the program in the nonmodifiable ROM can be patched.

Cortex-M4 Models
11.4.1
Programmers Model
This section describes the Cortex-M4 programmers model. In addition to the individual core register descriptions, it
contains information about the processor modes and privilege levels for software execution and stacks.
11.4.1.1
Processor Modes and Privilege Levels for Software Execution
The processor modes are:
Thread mode
Used to execute application software. The processor enters the Thread mode when it comes out of reset.
Handler mode
Used to handle exceptions. The processor returns to the Thread mode when it has finished exception
processing.
The privilege levels for software execution are:
Unprivileged
The software:
̶
Has limited access to the MSR and MRS instructions, and cannot use the CPS instruction
̶
Cannot access the System Timer, NVIC, or System Control Block
̶
Might have a restricted access to memory or peripherals.
Unprivileged software executes at the unprivileged level.
Privileged
The software can use all the instructions and has access to all resources. Privileged software executes at
the privileged level.
In Thread mode, the Control Register controls whether the software execution is privileged or unprivileged, see
“Control Register” . In Handler mode, software execution is always privileged.
Only privileged software can write to the Control Register to change the privilege level for software execution in
Thread mode. Unprivileged software can use the SVC instruction to make a supervisor call to transfer control to
privileged software.
11.4.1.2
Stacks
The processor uses a full descending stack. This means the stack pointer holds the address of the last stacked
item in memory When the processor pushes a new item onto the stack, it decrements the stack pointer and then
writes the item to the new memory location. The processor implements two stacks, the main stack and the process
stack, with a pointer for each held in independent registers, see “Stack Pointer” .
In Thread mode, the Control Register controls whether the processor uses the main stack or the process stack,
see “Control Register” .
In Handler mode, the processor always uses the main stack.
The options for processor operations are:

11.4.1.4
General-purpose Registers
R0–R12 are 32-bit general-purpose registers for data operations.
11.4.1.5
Stack Pointer
The Stack Pointer (SP) is register R13. In Thread mode, bit[1] of the Control Register indicates the stack pointer to
use:
0 = Main Stack Pointer (MSP). This is the reset value.
1 = Process Stack Pointer (PSP).
On reset, the processor loads the MSP with the value from address 0x00000000.
11.4.1.6
Link Register
The Link Register (LR) is register R14. It stores the return information for subroutines, function calls, and
exceptions. On reset, the processor loads the LR value 0xFFFFFFFF.
11.4.1.7
Program Counter
The Program Counter (PC) is register R15. It contains the current program address. On reset, the processor loads
the PC with the value of the reset vector, which is at address 0x00000004. Bit[0] of the value is loaded into the
EPSR T-bit at reset and must be 1.

The Program Status Register (PSR) combines:
• Application Program Status Register (APSR)
• Interrupt Program Status Register (IPSR)
• Execution Program Status Register (EPSR).
These registers are mutually exclusive bitfields in the 32-bit PSR.
The PSR accesses these registers individually or as a combination of any two or all three registers, using the register
name as an argument to the MSR or MRS instructions. For example:
• Read of all the registers using PSR with the MRS instruction
• Write to the APSR N, Z, C, V and Q bits using APSR_nzcvq with the MSR instruction.
The PSR combinations and attributes are:

The EPSR contains the Thumb state bit, and the execution state bits for either the If-Then (IT) instruction, or the Interruptible-Continuable Instruction (ICI) field for an interrupted load multiple or store multiple instruction.
Attempts to read the EPSR directly through application software using the MSR instruction always return zero. Attempts to
write the EPSR using the MSR instruction in the application software are ignored. Fault handlers can examine the EPSR
value in the stacked PSR to indicate the operation that is at fault. See “Exception Entry and Return” .
• ICI: Interruptible-continuable Instruction
When an interrupt occurs during the execution of an LDM, STM, PUSH, POP, VLDM, VSTM, VPUSH, or VPOP instruction,
the processor:
– Stops the load multiple or store multiple instruction operation temporarily
– Stores the next register operand in the multiple operation to EPSR bits[15:12].
After servicing the interrupt, the processor:
– Returns to the register pointed to by bits[15:12]
– Resumes the execution of the multiple load or store instruction.
When the EPSR holds the ICI execution state, bits[26:25,11:10] are zero.
• IT: If-Then Instruction
Indicates the execution state bits of the IT instruction.
The If-Then block contains up to four instructions following an IT instruction. Each instruction in the block is conditional.
The conditions for the instructions are either all the same, or some can be the inverse of others. See “IT” for more
information.
• T: Thumb State
The Cortex-M4 processor only supports the execution of instructions in Thumb state. The following can clear the T bit to 0:
– Instructions BLX, BX and POP{PC}
– Restoration from the stacked xPSR value on an exception return
– Bit[0] of the vector value on an exception entry or reset.
Attempting to execute instructions when the T bit is 0 results in a fault or lockup. See “Lockup” for more information.

The BASEPRI register defines the minimum priority for exception processing. When BASEPRI is set to a nonzero value, it
prevents the activation of all exceptions with same or lower priority level as the BASEPRI value.
• BASEPRI
Priority mask bits:
0x0000: No effect
Nonzero: Defines the base priority for exception processing
The processor does not process any exception with a priority value greater than or equal to BASEPRI.
This field is similar to the priority fields in the interrupt priority registers. The processor implements only bits[7:4] of this
field, bits[3:0] read as zero and ignore writes. See “Interrupt Priority Registers” for more information. Remember that
higher priority field values correspond to lower exception priorities.

The Control Register controls the stack used and the privilege level for software execution when the processor is in Thread
mode and indicates whether the FPU state is active.
• FPCA: Floating-point Context Active
Indicates whether the floating-point context is currently active:
0: No floating-point context active.
1: Floating-point context active.
The Cortex-M4 uses this bit to determine whether to preserve the floating-point state when processing an exception.
• SPSEL: Active Stack Pointer
Defines the current stack:
0: MSP is the current stack pointer.
1: PSP is the current stack pointer.
In Handler mode, this bit reads as zero and ignores writes. The Cortex-M4 updates this bit automatically on exception
return.
• nPRIV: Thread Mode Privilege Level
Defines the Thread mode privilege level:
0: Privileged.
1: Unprivileged.
Handler mode always uses the MSP, so the processor ignores explicit writes to the active stack pointer bit of the Control
Register when in Handler mode. The exception entry and return mechanisms update the Control Register based on the
EXC_RETURN value.
In an OS environment, ARM recommends that threads running in Thread mode use the process stack, and the kernel and
exception handlers use the main stack.
By default, the Thread mode uses the MSP. To switch the stack pointer used in Thread mode to the PSP, either:
• Use the MSR instruction to set the Active stack pointer bit to 1, see “MSR” , or
• Perform an exception return to Thread mode with the appropriate EXC_RETURN value, see Table 11-10.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
55
Note: When changing the stack pointer, the software must use an ISB instruction immediately after the MSR instruction. This ensures
that instructions after the ISB execute using the new stack pointer. See “ISB” .
11.4.1.17
Exceptions and Interrupts
The Cortex-M4 processor supports interrupts and system exceptions. The processor and the Nested Vectored
Interrupt Controller (NVIC) prioritize and handle all exceptions. An exception changes the normal flow of software
control. The processor uses the Handler mode to handle all exceptions except for reset. See “Exception Entry”
and “Exception Return” for more information.
The NVIC registers control interrupt handling. See “Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)” for more
information.
11.4.1.18
Data Types
The processor supports the following data types:
32-bit words
16-bit halfwords
8-bit bytes
The processor manages all data memory accesses as little-endian. Instruction memory and Private
Peripheral Bus (PPB) accesses are always little-endian. See “Memory Regions, Types and Attributes” for
more information.
11.4.1.19
Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS)
For a Cortex-M4 microcontroller system, the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) defines:
A common way to:
̶
Access peripheral registers
̶
Define exception vectors
The names of:
̶
The registers of the core peripherals
̶
The core exception vectors
A device-independent interface for RTOS kernels, including a debug channel.
The CMSIS includes address definitions and data structures for the core peripherals in the Cortex-M4 processor.
The CMSIS simplifies the software development by enabling the reuse of template code and the combination of
CMSIS-compliant software components from various middleware vendors. Software vendors can expand the
CMSIS to include their peripheral definitions and access functions for those peripherals.
This document includes the register names defined by the CMSIS, and gives short descriptions of the CMSIS
functions that address the processor core and the core peripherals.
Note:
This document uses the register short names defined by the CMSIS. In a few cases, these differ from the architectural
short names that might be used in other documents.
The following sections give more information about the CMSIS:

The regions for SRAM and peripherals include bit-band regions. Bit-banding provides atomic operations to bit
data, see “Bit-banding” .
The processor reserves regions of the Private peripheral bus (PPB) address range for core peripheral registers.
This memory mapping is generic to ARM Cortex-M4 products. To get the specific memory mapping of this product,
refer to the Memories section of the datasheet.
11.4.2.1
Memory Regions, Types and Attributes
The memory map and the programming of the MPU split the memory map into regions. Each region has a defined
memory type, and some regions have additional memory attributes. The memory type and attributes determine the
behavior of accesses to the region.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
57
Memory Types
Normal
The processor can re-order transactions for efficiency, or perform speculative reads.
Device
The processor preserves transaction order relative to other transactions to Device or Strongly-ordered
memory.
Strongly-ordered
The processor preserves transaction order relative to all other transactions.
The different ordering requirements for Device and Strongly-ordered memory mean that the memory system can
buffer a write to Device memory, but must not buffer a write to Strongly-ordered memory.
Additional Memory Attributes
Shareable
For a shareable memory region, the memory system provides data synchronization between bus masters in
a system with multiple bus masters, for example, a processor with a DMA controller.
Strongly-ordered memory is always shareable.
If multiple bus masters can access a non-shareable memory region, the software must ensure data
coherency between the bus masters.
Execute Never (XN)
Means the processor prevents instruction accesses. A fault exception is generated only on execution of an
instruction executed from an XN region.
11.4.2.2
Memory System Ordering of Memory Accesses
For most memory accesses caused by explicit memory access instructions, the memory system does not
guarantee that the order in which the accesses complete matches the program order of the instructions, providing
this does not affect the behavior of the instruction sequence. Normally, if correct program execution depends on
two memory accesses completing in program order, the software must insert a memory barrier instruction between
the memory access instructions, see “Software Ordering of Memory Accesses” .
However, the memory system does guarantee some ordering of accesses to Device and Strongly-ordered
memory. For two memory access instructions A1 and A2, if A1 occurs before A2 in program order, the ordering of
the memory accesses is described below.
Table 11-3.

The Code, SRAM, and external RAM regions can hold programs. However, ARM recommends that programs
always use the Code region. This is because the processor has separate buses that enable instruction fetches and
data accesses to occur simultaneously.
The MPU can override the default memory access behavior described in this section. For more information, see
“Memory Protection Unit (MPU)” .
Additional Memory Access Constraints For Caches and Shared Memory
When a system includes caches or shared memory, some memory regions have additional access constraints,

Instruction Prefetch and Branch Prediction
The Cortex-M4 processor:
Prefetches instructions ahead of execution
Speculatively prefetches from branch target addresses.
11.4.2.4
Software Ordering of Memory Accesses
The order of instructions in the program flow does not always guarantee the order of the corresponding memory
transactions. This is because:
The processor can reorder some memory accesses to improve efficiency, providing this does not affect the
behavior of the instruction sequence.
The processor has multiple bus interfaces
Memory or devices in the memory map have different wait states
Some memory accesses are buffered or speculative.
“Memory System Ordering of Memory Accesses” describes the cases where the memory system guarantees the
order of memory accesses. Otherwise, if the order of memory accesses is critical, the software must include
memory barrier instructions to force that ordering. The processor provides the following memory barrier
instructions:
DMB
The Data Memory Barrier (DMB) instruction ensures that outstanding memory transactions complete before
subsequent memory transactions. See “DMB” .
DSB
The Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB) instruction ensures that outstanding memory transactions complete
before subsequent instructions execute. See “DSB” .
ISB
The Instruction Synchronization Barrier (ISB) ensures that the effect of all completed memory transactions is
recognizable by subsequent instructions. See “ISB” .
MPU Programming
Use a DSB followed by an ISB instruction or exception return to ensure that the new MPU configuration is used by
subsequent instructions.
11.4.2.5
Bit-banding
A bit-band region maps each word in a bit-band alias region to a single bit in the bit-band region. The bit-band
regions occupy the lowest 1 MB of the SRAM and peripheral memory regions.
The memory map has two 32 MB alias regions that map to two 1 MB bit-band regions:
Accesses to the 32 MB SRAM alias region map to the 1 MB SRAM bit-band region, as shown in Table 11-6.
Accesses to the 32 MB peripheral alias region map to the 1 MB peripheral bit-band region, as shown in
Table 11-7.

0x42000000–0x43FFFFFF
Peripheral bit-band region
Data accesses to this region are remapped to bit-band region. A write
operation is performed as read-modify-write. Instruction accesses are not
permitted.
Notes:
1. A word access to the SRAM or peripheral bit-band alias regions map to a single bit in the SRAM or peripheral bit-band
region.
2. Bit-band accesses can use byte, halfword, or word transfers. The bit-band transfer size matches the transfer size of the
instruction making the bit-band access.
The following formula shows how the alias region maps onto the bit-band region:
bit_word_offset = (byte_offset x 32) + (bit_number x 4)
bit_word_addr = bit_band_base + bit_word_offset
where:
Bit_word_offset is the position of the target bit in the bit-band memory region.
Bit_word_addr is the address of the word in the alias memory region that maps to the targeted bit.
Bit_band_base is the starting address of the alias region.
Byte_offset is the number of the byte in the bit-band region that contains the targeted bit.
Bit_number is the bit position, 0–7, of the targeted bit.
Figure 11-4 shows examples of bit-band mapping between the SRAM bit-band alias region and the SRAM bitband region:
The alias word at 0x23FFFFE0 maps to bit[0] of the bit-band byte at 0x200FFFFF: 0x23FFFFE0 =
0x22000000 + (0xFFFFF*32) + (0*4).
The alias word at 0x23FFFFFC maps to bit[7] of the bit-band byte at 0x200FFFFF: 0x23FFFFFC =
0x22000000 + (0xFFFFF*32) + (7*4).
The alias word at 0x22000000 maps to bit[0] of the bit-band byte at 0x20000000: 0x22000000 =
0x22000000 + (0*32) + (0*4).
The alias word at 0x2200001C maps to bit[7] of the bit-band byte at 0x20000000: 0x2200001C =
0x22000000+ (0*32) + (7*4).

Directly Accessing an Alias Region
Writing to a word in the alias region updates a single bit in the bit-band region.
Bit[0] of the value written to a word in the alias region determines the value written to the targeted bit in the bitband region. Writing a value with bit[0] set to 1 writes a 1 to the bit-band bit, and writing a value with bit[0] set to 0
writes a 0 to the bit-band bit.
Bits[31:1] of the alias word have no effect on the bit-band bit. Writing 0x01 has the same effect as writing 0xFF.
Writing 0x00 has the same effect as writing 0x0E.
Reading a word in the alias region:
0x00000000 indicates that the targeted bit in the bit-band region is set to 0
0x00000001 indicates that the targeted bit in the bit-band region is set to 1
Directly Accessing a Bit-band Region
“Behavior of Memory Accesses” describes the behavior of direct byte, halfword, or word accesses to the bit-band
regions.
11.4.2.6
Memory Endianness
The processor views memory as a linear collection of bytes numbered in ascending order from zero. For example,
bytes 0–3 hold the first stored word, and bytes 4–7 hold the second stored word. “Little-endian Format” describes
how words of data are stored in memory.
Little-endian Format
In little-endian format, the processor stores the least significant byte of a word at the lowest-numbered byte, and
the most significant byte at the highest-numbered byte. For example:

Synchronization Primitives
The Cortex-M4 instruction set includes pairs of synchronization primitives. These provide a non-blocking
mechanism that a thread or process can use to obtain exclusive access to a memory location. The software can
use them to perform a guaranteed read-modify-write memory update sequence, or for a semaphore mechanism.
A pair of synchronization primitives comprises:
A Load-exclusive Instruction, used to read the value of a memory location, requesting exclusive access to that
location.
A Store-Exclusive instruction, used to attempt to write to the same memory location, returning a status bit to a
register. If this bit is:
0: It indicates that the thread or process gained exclusive access to the memory, and the write succeeds,
1: It indicates that the thread or process did not gain exclusive access to the memory, and no write is
performed.
The pairs of Load-Exclusive and Store-Exclusive instructions are:
The word instructions LDREX and STREX
The halfword instructions LDREXH and STREXH
The byte instructions LDREXB and STREXB.
The software must use a Load-Exclusive instruction with the corresponding Store-Exclusive instruction.
To perform an exclusive read-modify-write of a memory location, the software must:
1. Use a Load-Exclusive instruction to read the value of the location.
2.
Update the value, as required.
3.
Use a Store-Exclusive instruction to attempt to write the new value back to the memory location
4.
Test the returned status bit. If this bit is:
0: The read-modify-write completed successfully.
1: No write was performed. This indicates that the value returned at step 1 might be out of date. The
software must retry the read-modify-write sequence.
The software can use the synchronization primitives to implement a semaphore as follows:
1. Use a Load-Exclusive instruction to read from the semaphore address to check whether the semaphore is
free.
2.
If the semaphore is free, use a Store-Exclusive instruction to write the claim value to the semaphore
address.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
63
3.
If the returned status bit from step 2 indicates that the Store-Exclusive instruction succeeded then the
software has claimed the semaphore. However, if the Store-Exclusive instruction failed, another process
might have claimed the semaphore after the software performed the first step.
The Cortex-M4 includes an exclusive access monitor, that tags the fact that the processor has executed a LoadExclusive instruction. If the processor is part of a multiprocessor system, the system also globally tags the memory
locations addressed by exclusive accesses by each processor.
The processor removes its exclusive access tag if:
It executes a CLREX instruction
It executes a Store-Exclusive instruction, regardless of whether the write succeeds.
An exception occurs. This means that the processor can resolve semaphore conflicts between different
threads.
In a multiprocessor implementation:
Executing a CLREX instruction removes only the local exclusive access tag for the processor
Executing a Store-Exclusive instruction, or an exception, removes the local exclusive access tags, and all
global exclusive access tags for the processor.
For more information about the synchronization primitive instructions, see “LDREX and STREX” and “CLREX” .
11.4.2.8
Programming Hints for the Synchronization Primitives
ISO/IEC C cannot directly generate the exclusive access instructions. CMSIS provides intrinsic functions for
generation of these instructions:
Table 11-8.
CMSIS Functions for Exclusive Access Instructions
Instruction
CMSIS Function
LDREX
uint32_t __LDREXW (uint32_t *addr)
LDREXH
uint16_t __LDREXH (uint16_t *addr)
LDREXB
uint8_t __LDREXB (uint8_t *addr)
STREX
uint32_t __STREXW (uint32_t value, uint32_t *addr)
STREXH
uint32_t __STREXH (uint16_t value, uint16_t *addr)
STREXB
uint32_t __STREXB (uint8_t value, uint8_t *addr)
CLREX
void __CLREX (void)
The actual exclusive access instruction generated depends on the data type of the pointer passed to the intrinsic
function. For example, the following C code generates the required LDREXB operation:
__ldrex((volatile char *) 0xFF);
11.4.3
Exception Model
This section describes the exception model.
11.4.3.1
Exception States
Each exception is in one of the following states:
Inactive
The exception is not active and not pending.
Pending
The exception is waiting to be serviced by the processor.
64
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
An interrupt request from a peripheral or from software can change the state of the corresponding interrupt to
pending.
Active
An exception is being serviced by the processor but has not completed.
An exception handler can interrupt the execution of another exception handler. In this case, both exceptions are in
the active state.
Active and Pending
The exception is being serviced by the processor and there is a pending exception from the same source.
11.4.3.2
Exception Types
The exception types are:
Reset
Reset is invoked on power up or a warm reset. The exception model treats reset as a special form of exception.
When reset is asserted, the operation of the processor stops, potentially at any point in an instruction. When reset
is deasserted, execution restarts from the address provided by the reset entry in the vector table. Execution
restarts as privileged execution in Thread mode.
Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI)
A non maskable interrupt (NMI) can be signalled by a peripheral or triggered by software. This is the highest
priority exception other than reset. It is permanently enabled and has a fixed priority of -2.
NMIs cannot be:
Masked or prevented from activation by any other exception.
Preempted by any exception other than Reset.
Hard Fault
A hard fault is an exception that occurs because of an error during exception processing, or because an exception
cannot be managed by any other exception mechanism. Hard Faults have a fixed priority of -1, meaning they have
higher priority than any exception with configurable priority.
Memory Management Fault (MemManage)
A Memory Management Fault is an exception that occurs because of a memory protection related fault. The MPU
or the fixed memory protection constraints determines this fault, for both instruction and data memory transactions.
This fault is used to abort instruction accesses to Execute Never (XN) memory regions, even if the MPU is
disabled.
Bus Fault
A Bus Fault is an exception that occurs because of a memory related fault for an instruction or data memory
transaction. This might be from an error detected on a bus in the memory system.
Usage Fault
A Usage Fault is an exception that occurs because of a fault related to an instruction execution. This includes:
An undefined instruction
An illegal unaligned access
An invalid state on instruction execution
An error on exception return.
The following can cause a Usage Fault when the core is configured to report them:
An unaligned address on word and halfword memory access
A division by zero.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
65
SVCall
A supervisor call (SVC) is an exception that is triggered by the SVC instruction. In an OS environment, applications
can use SVC instructions to access OS kernel functions and device drivers.
PendSV
PendSV is an interrupt-driven request for system-level service. In an OS environment, use PendSV for context
switching when no other exception is active.
SysTick
A SysTick exception is an exception the system timer generates when it reaches zero. Software can also generate
a SysTick exception. In an OS environment, the processor can use this exception as system tick.
Interrupt (IRQ)
A interrupt, or IRQ, is an exception signalled by a peripheral, or generated by a software request. All interrupts are
asynchronous to instruction execution. In the system, peripherals use interrupts to communicate with the
processor.

11.4.3.3
Exception Handlers
The processor handles exceptions using:
11.4.3.4
Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs)
Interrupts IRQ0 to IRQ46 are the exceptions handled by ISRs.
Fault Handlers
Hard fault, memory management fault, usage fault, bus fault are fault exceptions handled by the fault
handlers.
System Handlers
NMI, PendSV, SVCall SysTick, and the fault exceptions are all system exceptions that are handled by
system handlers.
Vector Table
The vector table contains the reset value of the stack pointer, and the start addresses, also called exception
vectors, for all exception handlers. Figure 11-6 shows the order of the exception vectors in the vector table. The
least-significant bit of each vector must be 1, indicating that the exception handler is Thumb code.

11.4.3.5
Exception Priorities
As Table 11-9 shows, all exceptions have an associated priority, with:
A lower priority value indicating a higher priority
Configurable priorities for all exceptions except Reset, Hard fault and NMI.
If the software does not configure any priorities, then all exceptions with a configurable priority have a priority of 0.
For information about configuring exception priorities see “System Handler Priority Registers” , and “Interrupt
Priority Registers” .
Note:
Configurable priority values are in the range 0–15. This means that the Reset, Hard fault, and NMI exceptions, with
fixed negative priority values, always have higher priority than any other exception.
For example, assigning a higher priority value to IRQ[0] and a lower priority value to IRQ[1] means that IRQ[1] has
higher priority than IRQ[0]. If both IRQ[1] and IRQ[0] are asserted, IRQ[1] is processed before IRQ[0].
If multiple pending exceptions have the same priority, the pending exception with the lowest exception number
takes precedence. For example, if both IRQ[0] and IRQ[1] are pending and have the same priority, then IRQ[0] is
processed before IRQ[1].
When the processor is executing an exception handler, the exception handler is preempted if a higher priority
exception occurs. If an exception occurs with the same priority as the exception being handled, the handler is not
preempted, irrespective of the exception number. However, the status of the new interrupt changes to pending.
11.4.3.6
Interrupt Priority Grouping
To increase priority control in systems with interrupts, the NVIC supports priority grouping. This divides each
interrupt priority register entry into two fields:
An upper field that defines the group priority
A lower field that defines a subpriority within the group.
Only the group priority determines preemption of interrupt exceptions. When the processor is executing an
interrupt exception handler, another interrupt with the same group priority as the interrupt being handled does not
preempt the handler.
If multiple pending interrupts have the same group priority, the subpriority field determines the order in which they
are processed. If multiple pending interrupts have the same group priority and subpriority, the interrupt with the
lowest IRQ number is processed first.
For information about splitting the interrupt priority fields into group priority and subpriority, see “Application
Interrupt and Reset Control Register” .
11.4.3.7
Exception Entry and Return
Descriptions of exception handling use the following terms:
Preemption
When the processor is executing an exception handler, an exception can preempt the exception handler if its
priority is higher than the priority of the exception being handled. See “Interrupt Priority Grouping” for more
information about preemption by an interrupt.
When one exception preempts another, the exceptions are called nested exceptions. See “Exception Entry” more
information.
Return
This occurs when the exception handler is completed, and:
68
There is no pending exception with sufficient priority to be serviced
The completed exception handler was not handling a late-arriving exception.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
The processor pops the stack and restores the processor state to the state it had before the interrupt occurred.
See “Exception Return” for more information.
Tail-chaining
This mechanism speeds up exception servicing. On completion of an exception handler, if there is a pending
exception that meets the requirements for exception entry, the stack pop is skipped and control transfers to the
new exception handler.
Late-arriving
This mechanism speeds up preemption. If a higher priority exception occurs during state saving for a previous
exception, the processor switches to handle the higher priority exception and initiates the vector fetch for that
exception. State saving is not affected by late arrival because the state saved is the same for both exceptions.
Therefore the state saving continues uninterrupted. The processor can accept a late arriving exception until the
first instruction of the exception handler of the original exception enters the execute stage of the processor. On
return from the exception handler of the late-arriving exception, the normal tail-chaining rules apply.
Exception Entry
An Exception entry occurs when there is a pending exception with sufficient priority and either the processor is in
Thread mode, or the new exception is of a higher priority than the exception being handled, in which case the new
exception preempts the original exception.
When one exception preempts another, the exceptions are nested.
Sufficient priority means that the exception has more priority than any limits set by the mask registers, see
“Exception Mask Registers” . An exception with less priority than this is pending but is not handled by the
processor.
When the processor takes an exception, unless the exception is a tail-chained or a late-arriving exception, the
processor pushes information onto the current stack. This operation is referred as stacking and the structure of
eight data words is referred to as stack frame.
When using floating-point routines, the Cortex-M4 processor automatically stacks the architected floating-point
state on exception entry. Figure 11-7 on page 70 shows the Cortex-M4 stack frame layout when floating-point
state is preserved on the stack as the result of an interrupt or an exception.
Note:
Where stack space for floating-point state is not allocated, the stack frame is the same as that of ARMv7-M
implementations without an FPU. Figure 11-7 on page 70 shows this stack frame also.

Immediately after stacking, the stack pointer indicates the lowest address in the stack frame. The alignment of the
stack frame is controlled via the STKALIGN bit of the Configuration Control Register (CCR).
The stack frame includes the return address. This is the address of the next instruction in the interrupted program.
This value is restored to the PC at exception return so that the interrupted program resumes.
In parallel to the stacking operation, the processor performs a vector fetch that reads the exception handler start
address from the vector table. When stacking is complete, the processor starts executing the exception handler. At
the same time, the processor writes an EXC_RETURN value to the LR. This indicates which stack pointer
corresponds to the stack frame and what operation mode the processor was in before the entry occurred.
If no higher priority exception occurs during the exception entry, the processor starts executing the exception
handler and automatically changes the status of the corresponding pending interrupt to active.
If another higher priority exception occurs during the exception entry, the processor starts executing the exception
handler for this exception and does not change the pending status of the earlier exception. This is the late arrival
case.
Exception Return
An Exception return occurs when the processor is in Handler mode and executes one of the following instructions
to load the EXC_RETURN value into the PC:
70
An LDM or POP instruction that loads the PC
An LDR instruction with the PC as the destination.
A BX instruction using any register.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
EXC_RETURN is the value loaded into the LR on exception entry. The exception mechanism relies on this value
to detect when the processor has completed an exception handler. The lowest five bits of this value provide
information on the return stack and processor mode. Table 11-10 shows the EXC_RETURN values with a
description of the exception return behavior.
All EXC_RETURN values have bits[31:5] set to one. When this value is loaded into the PC, it indicates to the
processor that the exception is complete, and the processor initiates the appropriate exception return sequence.
Table 11-10.
Exception Return Behavior
EXC_RETURN[31:0]
Description
0xFFFFFFF1
Return to Handler mode, exception return uses non-floating-point state
from the MSP and execution uses MSP after return.
0xFFFFFFF9

execution uses MSP after return.
0xFFFFFFFD
Return to Thread mode, exception return uses state from the PSP and
execution uses PSP after return.
0xFFFFFFE1
Return to Handler mode, exception return uses floating-point-state from
MSP and execution uses MSP after return.
0xFFFFFFE9
Return to Thread mode, exception return uses floating-point state from

0xFFFFFFED
Return to Thread mode, exception return uses floating-point state from PSP
and execution uses PSP after return.
11.4.3.8
Fault Handling
Faults are a subset of the exceptions, see “Exception Model” . The following generate a fault:
A bus error on:
̶
An instruction fetch or vector table load
̶
A data access
An internally-detected error such as an undefined instruction
An attempt to execute an instruction from a memory region marked as Non-Executable (XN).
A privilege violation or an attempt to access an unmanaged region causing an MPU fault.
Fault Types
Table 11-11 shows the types of fault, the handler used for the fault, the corresponding fault status register, and the
register bit that indicates that the fault has occurred. See “Configurable Fault Status Register” for more information
about the fault status registers.

Fault Escalation and Hard Faults
All faults exceptions except for hard fault have configurable exception priority, see “System Handler Priority
Registers” . The software can disable the execution of the handlers for these faults, see “System Handler Control
and State Register” .
Usually, the exception priority, together with the values of the exception mask registers, determines whether the
processor enters the fault handler, and whether a fault handler can preempt another fault handler, as described in
“Exception Model” .
In some situations, a fault with configurable priority is treated as a hard fault. This is called priority escalation, and
the fault is described as escalated to hard fault. Escalation to hard fault occurs when:
A fault handler causes the same kind of fault as the one it is servicing. This escalation to hard fault occurs
because a fault handler cannot preempt itself; it must have the same priority as the current priority level.
A fault handler causes a fault with the same or lower priority as the fault it is servicing. This is because the
handler for the new fault cannot preempt the currently executing fault handler.
An exception handler causes a fault for which the priority is the same as or lower than the currently
executing exception.
A fault occurs and the handler for that fault is not enabled.
If a bus fault occurs during a stack push when entering a bus fault handler, the bus fault does not escalate to a
hard fault. This means that if a corrupted stack causes a fault, the fault handler executes even though the stack
push for the handler failed. The fault handler operates but the stack contents are corrupted.
Note:
Only Reset and NMI can preempt the fixed priority hard fault. A hard fault can preempt any exception other than
Reset, NMI, or another hard fault.
Fault Status Registers and Fault Address Registers
The fault status registers indicate the cause of a fault. For bus faults and memory management faults, the fault
address register indicates the address accessed by the operation that caused the fault, as shown in Table 11-12.

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

Power Management
The Cortex-M4 processor sleep modes reduce the power consumption:
Sleep mode stops the processor clock
Deep sleep mode stops the system clock and switches off the PLL and flash memory.
The SLEEPDEEP bit of the SCR selects which sleep mode is used; see “System Control Register” .
This section describes the mechanisms for entering sleep mode, and the conditions for waking up from sleep
mode.
11.5.1
Entering Sleep Mode
This section describes the mechanisms software can use to put the processor into sleep mode.
The system can generate spurious wakeup events, for example a debug operation wakes up the processor.
Therefore, the software must be able to put the processor back into sleep mode after such an event. A program
might have an idle loop to put the processor back to sleep mode.
11.5.1.1
Wait for Interrupt
The wait for interrupt instruction, WFI, causes immediate entry to sleep mode. When the processor executes a
WFI instruction it stops executing instructions and enters sleep mode. See “WFI” for more information.
11.5.1.2
Wait for Event
The wait for event instruction, WFE, causes entry to sleep mode conditional on the value of an one-bit event
register. When the processor executes a WFE instruction, it checks this register:
If the register is 0, the processor stops executing instructions and enters sleep mode
If the register is 1, the processor clears the register to 0 and continues executing instructions without
entering sleep mode.
See “WFE” for more information.
11.5.1.3
Sleep-on-exit
If the SLEEPONEXIT bit of the SCR is set to 1 when the processor completes the execution of an exception
handler, it returns to Thread mode and immediately enters sleep mode. Use this mechanism in applications that
only require the processor to run when an exception occurs.
11.5.2
Wakeup from Sleep Mode
The conditions for the processor to wake up depend on the mechanism that cause it to enter sleep mode.
11.5.2.1
Wakeup from WFI or Sleep-on-exit
Normally, the processor wakes up only when it detects an exception with sufficient priority to cause exception
entry.
Some embedded systems might have to execute system restore tasks after the processor wakes up, and before it
executes an interrupt handler. To achieve this, set the PRIMASK bit to 1 and the FAULTMASK bit to 0. If an
interrupt arrives that is enabled and has a higher priority than the current exception priority, the processor wakes
up but does not execute the interrupt handler until the processor sets PRIMASK to zero. For more information
about PRIMASK and FAULTMASK, see “Exception Mask Registers” .
11.5.2.2
Wakeup from WFE
The processor wakes up if:
74
It detects an exception with sufficient priority to cause an exception entry
It detects an external event signal. See “External Event Input”
In a multiprocessor system, another processor in the system executes an SEV instruction.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
In addition, if the SEVONPEND bit in the SCR is set to 1, any new pending interrupt triggers an event and wakes
up the processor, even if the interrupt is disabled or has insufficient priority to cause an exception entry. For more
information about the SCR, see “System Control Register” .
11.5.2.3
External Event Input
The processor provides an external event input signal. Peripherals can drive this signal, either to wake the
processor from WFE, or to set the internal WFE event register to 1 to indicate that the processor must not enter
sleep mode on a later WFE instruction. See “Wait for Event” for more information.
11.5.3
Power Management Programming Hints
ISO/IEC C cannot directly generate the WFI and WFE instructions. The CMSIS provides the following functions for
these instructions:
void __WFE(void) // Wait for Event
void __WFI(void) // Wait for Interrupt

Instruction Descriptions
11.6.3.1
Operands
An instruction operand can be an ARM register, a constant, or another instruction-specific parameter. Instructions
act on the operands and often store the result in a destination register. When there is a destination register in the
instruction, it is usually specified before the operands.
Operands in some instructions are flexible, can either be a register or a constant. See “Flexible Second Operand” .
11.6.3.2
Restrictions when Using PC or SP
Many instructions have restrictions on whether the Program Counter (PC) or Stack Pointer (SP) for the operands
or destination register can be used. See instruction descriptions for more information.
Note:
11.6.3.3
Bit[0] of any address written to the PC with a BX, BLX, LDM, LDR, or POP instruction must be 1 for correct execution,
because this bit indicates the required instruction set, and the Cortex-M4 processor only supports Thumb instructions.
Flexible Second Operand
Many general data processing instructions have a flexible second operand. This is shown as Operand2 in the
descriptions of the syntax of each instruction.
Operand2 can be a:
“Constant”
“Register with Optional Shift”
Constant
Specify an Operand2 constant in the form:
#constant
where constant can be:
Any constant that can be produced by shifting an 8-bit value left by any number of bits within a 32-bit word
Any constant of the form 0x00XY00XY
Any constant of the form 0xXY00XY00
Any constant of the form 0xXYXYXYXY.
Note:
In the constants shown above, X and Y are hexadecimal digits.
In addition, in a small number of instructions, constant can take a wider range of values. These are described in
the individual instruction descriptions.
When an Operand2 constant is used with the instructions MOVS, MVNS, ANDS, ORRS, ORNS, EORS, BICS,
TEQ or TST, the carry flag is updated to bit[31] of the constant, if the constant is greater than 255 and can be
produced by shifting an 8-bit value. These instructions do not affect the carry flag if Operand2 is any other
constant.
Instruction Substitution
The assembler might be able to produce an equivalent instruction in cases where the user specifies a constant
that is not permitted. For example, an assembler might assemble the instruction CMP Rd, #0xFFFFFFFE as the
equivalent instruction CMN Rd, #0x2.
Register with Optional Shift
Specify an Operand2 register in the form:
Rm {, shift}
where:
Rm
is the register holding the data for the second operand.
shift
is an optional shift to be applied to Rm. It can be one of:
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]

ASR #n
arithmetic shift right n bits, 1 ≤ n ≤ 32.
LSL #n
logical shift left n bits, 1 ≤ n ≤ 31.
LSR #n
logical shift right n bits, 1 ≤ n ≤ 32.
ROR #n
rotate right n bits, 1 ≤ n ≤ 31.
RRX
rotate right one bit, with extend.
-
if omitted, no shift occurs, equivalent to LSL #0.
If the user omits the shift, or specifies LSL #0, the instruction uses the value in Rm.
If the user specifies a shift, the shift is applied to the value in Rm, and the resulting 32-bit value is used by the
instruction. However, the contents in the register Rm remains unchanged. Specifying a register with shift also
updates the carry flag when used with certain instructions. For information on the shift operations and how they
affect the carry flag, see “Flexible Second Operand” .
11.6.3.4
Shift Operations
Register shift operations move the bits in a register left or right by a specified number of bits, the shift length.
Register shift can be performed:
Directly by the instructions ASR, LSR, LSL, ROR, and RRX, and the result is written to a destination register
During the calculation of Operand2 by the instructions that specify the second operand as a register with
shift. See “Flexible Second Operand” . The result is used by the instruction.
The permitted shift lengths depend on the shift type and the instruction. If the shift length is 0, no shift occurs.
Register shift operations update the carry flag except when the specified shift length is 0. The following
subsections describe the various shift operations and how they affect the carry flag. In these descriptions, Rm is
the register containing the value to be shifted, and n is the shift length.
ASR
Arithmetic shift right by n bits moves the left-hand 32-n bits of the register, Rm, to the right by n places, into the
right-hand 32-n bits of the result. And it copies the original bit[31] of the register into the left-hand n bits of the
result. See Figure 11-8.
The ASR #n operation can be used to divide the value in the register Rm by 2n, with the result being rounded
towards negative-infinity.
When the instruction is ASRS or when ASR #n is used in Operand2 with the instructions MOVS, MVNS, ANDS,
ORRS, ORNS, EORS, BICS, TEQ or TST, the carry flag is updated to the last bit shifted out, bit[n-1], of the
register Rm.
If n is 32 or more, then all the bits in the result are set to the value of bit[31] of Rm.
If n is 32 or more and the carry flag is updated, it is updated to the value of bit[31] of Rm.
Figure 11-8.
ASR #3
LSR
Logical shift right by n bits moves the left-hand 32-n bits of the register Rm, to the right by n places, into the righthand 32-n bits of the result. And it sets the left-hand n bits of the result to 0. See Figure 11-9.
84
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]

The LSR #n operation can be used to divide the value in the register Rm by 2n, if the value is regarded as an
unsigned integer.
When the instruction is LSRS or when LSR #n is used in Operand2 with the instructions MOVS, MVNS, ANDS,
ORRS, ORNS, EORS, BICS, TEQ or TST, the carry flag is updated to the last bit shifted out, bit[n-1], of the
register Rm.
If n is 32 or more, then all the bits in the result are cleared to 0.
If n is 33 or more and the carry flag is updated, it is updated to 0.

LSL
Logical shift left by n bits moves the right-hand 32-n bits of the register Rm, to the left by n places, into the left-hand
32-n bits of the result; and it sets the right-hand n bits of the result to 0. See Figure 11-10.
The LSL #n operation can be used to multiply the value in the register Rm by 2n, if the value is regarded as an
unsigned integer or a two’s complement signed integer. Overflow can occur without warning.
When the instruction is LSLS or when LSL #n, with non-zero n, is used in Operand2 with the instructions MOVS,
MVNS, ANDS, ORRS, ORNS, EORS, BICS, TEQ or TST, the carry flag is updated to the last bit shifted out, bit[32n], of the register Rm. These instructions do not affect the carry flag when used with LSL #0.
If n is 32 or more, then all the bits in the result are cleared to 0.
If n is 33 or more and the carry flag is updated, it is updated to 0.

ROR
Rotate right by n bits moves the left-hand 32-n bits of the register Rm, to the right by n places, into the right-hand

Figure 11-11.
When the instruction is RORS or when ROR #n is used in Operand2 with the instructions MOVS, MVNS, ANDS,
ORRS, ORNS, EORS, BICS, TEQ or TST, the carry flag is updated to the last bit rotation, bit[n-1], of the register
Rm.
If n is 32, then the value of the result is same as the value in Rm, and if the carry flag is updated, it is updated
to bit[31] of Rm.
ROR with shift length, n, more than 32 is the same as ROR with shift length n-32.

11.6.3.5
Address Alignment
An aligned access is an operation where a word-aligned address is used for a word, dual word, or multiple word
access, or where a halfword-aligned address is used for a halfword access. Byte accesses are always aligned.
The Cortex-M4 processor supports unaligned access only for the following instructions:
LDR, LDRT
LDRH, LDRHT
LDRSH, LDRSHT
STR, STRT
STRH, STRHT
All other load and store instructions generate a usage fault exception if they perform an unaligned access, and
therefore their accesses must be address-aligned. For more information about usage faults, see “Fault Handling” .
Unaligned accesses are usually slower than aligned accesses. In addition, some memory regions might not
support unaligned accesses. Therefore, ARM recommends that programmers ensure that accesses are aligned.
To avoid accidental generation of unaligned accesses, use the UNALIGN_TRP bit in the Configuration and Control
Register to trap all unaligned accesses, see “Configuration and Control Register” .
11.6.3.6
PC-relative Expressions
A PC-relative expression or label is a symbol that represents the address of an instruction or literal data. It is
represented in the instruction as the PC value plus or minus a numeric offset. The assembler calculates the
required offset from the label and the address of the current instruction. If the offset is too big, the assembler
produces an error.
86
For B, BL, CBNZ, and CBZ instructions, the value of the PC is the address of the current instruction plus 4
bytes.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
For all other instructions that use labels, the value of the PC is the address of the current instruction plus 4
bytes, with bit[1] of the result cleared to 0 to make it word-aligned.
Your assembler might permit other syntaxes for PC-relative expressions, such as a label plus or minus a
number, or an expression of the form [PC, #number].
11.6.3.7
Conditional Execution
Most data processing instructions can optionally update the condition flags in the Application Program Status
Register (APSR) according to the result of the operation, see “Application Program Status Register” . Some
instructions update all flags, and some only update a subset. If a flag is not updated, the original value is
preserved. See the instruction descriptions for the flags they affect.
An instruction can be executed conditionally, based on the condition flags set in another instruction, either:
Immediately after the instruction that updated the flags
After any number of intervening instructions that have not updated the flags.
Conditional execution is available by using conditional branches or by adding condition code suffixes to
instructions. See Table 11-16 for a list of the suffixes to add to instructions to make them conditional instructions.
The condition code suffix enables the processor to test a condition based on the flags. If the condition test of a
conditional instruction fails, the instruction:
Does not execute
Does not write any value to its destination register
Does not affect any of the flags
Does not generate any exception.
Conditional instructions, except for conditional branches, must be inside an If-Then instruction block. See “IT” for
more information and restrictions when using the IT instruction. Depending on the vendor, the assembler might
automatically insert an IT instruction if there are conditional instructions outside the IT block.
The CBZ and CBNZ instructions are used to compare the value of a register against zero and branch on the result.
This section describes:
“Condition Flags”
“Condition Code Suffixes” .
Condition Flags
The APSR contains the following condition flags:
N
Set to 1 when the result of the operation was negative, cleared to 0 otherwise.
Z
Set to 1 when the result of the operation was zero, cleared to 0 otherwise.
C
Set to 1 when the operation resulted in a carry, cleared to 0 otherwise.
V
Set to 1 when the operation caused overflow, cleared to 0 otherwise.
For more information about the APSR, see “Program Status Register” .
A carry occurs:
If the result of an addition is greater than or equal to 232
If the result of a subtraction is positive or zero
As the result of an inline barrel shifter operation in a move or logical instruction.
An overflow occurs when the sign of the result, in bit[31], does not match the sign of the result, had the operation
been performed at infinite precision, for example:
If adding two negative values results in a positive value
If adding two positive values results in a negative value
If subtracting a positive value from a negative value generates a positive value
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
87
If subtracting a negative value from a positive value generates a negative value.
The Compare operations are identical to subtracting, for CMP, or adding, for CMN, except that the result is
discarded. See the instruction descriptions for more information.
Note:
Most instructions update the status flags only if the S suffix is specified. See the instruction descriptions for more
information.
Condition Code Suffixes
The instructions that can be conditional have an optional condition code, shown in syntax descriptions as {cond}.
Conditional execution requires a preceding IT instruction. An instruction with a condition code is only executed if
the condition code flags in the APSR meet the specified condition. Table 11-16 shows the condition codes to use.
A conditional execution can be used with the IT instruction to reduce the number of branch instructions in code.
Table 11-16 also shows the relationship between condition code suffixes and the N, Z, C, and V flags.

11.6.3.8
Instruction Width Selection
There are many instructions that can generate either a 16-bit encoding or a 32-bit encoding depending on the
operands and destination register specified. For some of these instructions, the user can force a specific
instruction size by using an instruction width suffix. The .W suffix forces a 32-bit instruction encoding. The .N suffix
forces a 16-bit instruction encoding.
If the user specifies an instruction width suffix and the assembler cannot generate an instruction encoding of the
requested width, it generates an error.
Note:
In some cases, it might be necessary to specify the .W suffix, for example if the operand is the label of an instruction or
literal data, as in the case of branch instructions. This is because the assembler might not automatically generate the
right size encoding.
To use an instruction width suffix, place it immediately after the instruction mnemonic and condition code, if any.
The example below shows instructions with the instruction width suffix.
BCS.W label
; creates a 32-bit instruction even for a short
; branch
ADDS.W R0, R0, R1 ; creates a 32-bit instruction even though the same

Load PC-relative address.
Syntax
ADR{cond} Rd, label
where:
cond
is an optional condition code, see “Conditional Execution” .
Rd
is the destination register.
label
is a PC-relative expression. See “PC-relative Expressions” .
Operation
ADR determines the address by adding an immediate value to the PC, and writes the result to the destination
register.
ADR produces position-independent code, because the address is PC-relative.
If ADR is used to generate a target address for a BX or BLX instruction, ensure that bit[0] of the address generated
is set to 1 for correct execution.
Values of label must be within the range of −4095 to +4095 from the address in the PC.
Note:
The user might have to use the .W suffix to get the maximum offset range or to generate addresses that are not wordaligned. See “Instruction Width Selection” .
Restrictions
Rd must not be SP and must not be PC.

address for the memory access. The register Rn is unaltered. The assembly language syntax for this mode is:
[Rn, #offset]
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16

address for the memory access and written back into the register Rn. The assembly language syntax for this mode
is:
[Rn, #offset]!
Post-indexed Addressing
The address obtained from the register Rn is used as the address for the memory access. The offset value is
added to or subtracted from the address, and written back into the register Rn. The assembly language syntax for
this mode is:
[Rn], #offset
The value to load or store can be a byte, halfword, word, or two words. Bytes and halfwords can either be signed
or unsigned. See “Address Alignment” .

* (n-1) is written back to Rn.
For LDMDB, LDMEA, STMDB, and STMFD the memory addresses used for the accesses are at 4-byte intervals
ranging from Rn to Rn - 4 * (n-1), where n is the number of registers in reglist. The accesses happen in order of
decreasing register numbers, with the highest numbered register using the highest memory address and the
lowest number register using the lowest memory address. If the writeback suffix is specified, the value of Rn - 4 *

LDREXB{cond} Rt, [Rn]
STREXB{cond} Rd, Rt, [Rn]
LDREXH{cond} Rt, [Rn]
STREXH{cond} Rd, Rt, [Rn]
where:
cond
is an optional condition code, see “Conditional Execution” .
Rd
is the destination register for the returned status.
Rt
is the register to load or store.
Rn
is the register on which the memory address is based.
offset
is an optional offset applied to the value in Rn.
If offset is omitted, the address is the value in Rn.
Operation
LDREX, LDREXB, and LDREXH load a word, byte, and halfword respectively from a memory address.
STREX, STREXB, and STREXH attempt to store a word, byte, and halfword respectively to a memory address.
The address used in any Store-Exclusive instruction must be the same as the address in the most recently
executed Load-exclusive instruction. The value stored by the Store-Exclusive instruction must also have the same
data size as the value loaded by the preceding Load-exclusive instruction. This means software must always use a
Load-exclusive instruction and a matching Store-Exclusive instruction to perform a synchronization operation, see
“Synchronization Primitives” .
If an Store-Exclusive instruction performs the store, it writes 0 to its destination register. If it does not perform the
store, it writes 1 to its destination register. If the Store-Exclusive instruction writes 0 to the destination register, it is
guaranteed that no other process in the system has accessed the memory location between the Load-exclusive
and Store-Exclusive instructions.
For reasons of performance, keep the number of instructions between corresponding Load-Exclusive and StoreExclusive instruction to a minimum.
The result of executing a Store-Exclusive instruction to an address that is different from that used in the preceding
Load-Exclusive instruction is unpredictable.
Restrictions
In these instructions:
Do not use PC
Do not use SP for Rd and Rt
For STREX, Rd must be different from both Rt and Rn
The value of offset must be a multiple of four in the range 0–1020.

Syntax
CLREX{cond}
where:
cond
is an optional condition code, see “Conditional Execution” .
Operation
Use CLREX to make the next STREX, STREXB, or STREXH instruction write a 1 to its destination register and fail
to perform the store. It is useful in exception handler code to force the failure of the store exclusive if the exception
occurs between a load exclusive instruction and the matching store exclusive instruction in a synchronization
operation.

of
the
Operation
The ADD instruction adds the value of Operand2 or imm12 to the value in Rn.
The ADC instruction adds the values in Rn and Operand2, together with the carry flag.
The SUB instruction subtracts the value of Operand2 or imm12 from the value in Rn.
The SBC instruction subtracts the value of Operand2 from the value in Rn. If the carry flag is clear, the result is
reduced by one.
The RSB instruction subtracts the value in Rn from the value of Operand2. This is useful because of the wide
range of options for Operand2.
Use ADC and SBC to synthesize multiword arithmetic, see Multiword arithmetic examples on.
See also “ADR” .
Note:
ADDW is equivalent to the ADD syntax that uses the imm12 operand. SUBW is equivalent to the SUB syntax that uses
the imm12 operand.
Restrictions
In these instructions:
104
Operand2 must not be SP and must not be PC
Rd can be SP only in ADD and SUB, and only with the additional restrictions:
̶
Rn must also be SP
̶
Any shift in Operand2 must be limited to a maximum of 3 bits using LSL
Rn can be SP only in ADD and SUB
Rd can be PC only in the ADD{cond} PC, PC, Rm instruction where:
̶
The user must not specify the S suffix
̶
Rm must not be PC and must not be SP
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
̶
If the instruction is conditional, it must be the last instruction in the IT block
With the exception of the ADD{cond} PC, PC, Rm instruction, Rn can be PC only in ADD and SUB, and only
with the additional restrictions:
̶
The user must not specify the S suffix
̶
The second operand must be a constant in the range 0 to 4095.
̶
Note: When using the PC for an addition or a subtraction, bits[1:0] of the PC are rounded to 0b00
before performing the calculation, making the base address for the calculation word-aligned.
̶
Note: To generate the address of an instruction, the constant based on the value of the PC must be
adjusted. ARM recommends to use the ADR instruction instead of ADD or SUB with Rn equal to the
PC, because the assembler automatically calculates the correct constant for the ADR instruction.
When Rd is PC in the ADD{cond} PC, PC, Rm instruction:
Bit[0] of the value written to the PC is ignored
A branch occurs to the address created by forcing bit[0] of that value to 0.

Also, the MOV instruction permits additional forms of Operand2 as synonyms for shift instructions:
MOV{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, ASR Rs is a synonym for ASR{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, Rs
MOV{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, LSL Rs is a synonym for LSL{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, Rs
MOV{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, LSR Rs is a synonym for LSR{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, Rs
MOV{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, ROR Rs is a synonym for ROR{S}{cond} Rd, Rm, Rs
See “ASR, LSL, LSR, ROR, and RRX” .
The MVN instruction takes the value of Operand2, performs a bitwise logical NOT operation on the value, and
places the result into Rd.
The MOVW instruction provides the same function as MOV, but is restricted to using the imm16 operand.
Restrictions
SP and PC only can be used in the MOV instruction, with the following restrictions:
The second operand must be a register without shift
The S suffix must not be specified.
When Rd is PC in a MOV instruction:
Bit[0] of the value written to the PC is ignored
A branch occurs to the address created by forcing bit[0] of that value to 0.
Though it is possible to use MOV as a branch instruction, ARM strongly recommends the use of a BX or BLX
instruction to branch for software portability to the ARM instruction set.

options.
Operation
These instructions test the value in a register against Operand2. They update the condition flags based on the
result, but do not write the result to a register.
The TST instruction performs a bitwise AND operation on the value in Rn and the value of Operand2. This is the
same as the ANDS instruction, except that it discards the result.
To test whether a bit of Rn is 0 or 1, use the TST instruction with an Operand2 constant that has that bit set to 1
and all other bits cleared to 0.
The TEQ instruction performs a bitwise Exclusive OR operation on the value in Rn and the value of Operand2.
This is the same as the EORS instruction, except that it discards the result.
Use the TEQ instruction to test if two values are equal without affecting the V or C flags.
TEQ is also useful for testing the sign of a value. After the comparison, the N flag is the logical Exclusive OR of the
sign bits of the two operands.
Restrictions
Do not use SP and do not use PC.

For signed n-bit saturation, this means that:
If the value to be saturated is less than -2n-1, the result returned is -2n-1
If the value to be saturated is greater than 2n-1-1, the result returned is 2n-1-1
Otherwise, the result returned is the same as the value to be saturated.
For unsigned n-bit saturation, this means that:
If the value to be saturated is less than 0, the result returned is 0
If the value to be saturated is greater than 2n-1, the result returned is 2n-1
Otherwise, the result returned is the same as the value to be saturated.
If the returned result is different from the value to be saturated, it is called saturation. If saturation occurs, the
instruction sets the Q flag to 1 in the APSR. Otherwise, it leaves the Q flag unchanged. To clear the Q flag to 0, the
MSR instruction must be used; see “MSR” .
To read the state of the Q flag, the MRS instruction must be used; see “MRS” .

B, BL, BX, and BLX
Branch instructions.
Syntax
B{cond} label
BL{cond} label
BX{cond} Rm
BLX{cond} Rm
where:
B
is branch (immediate).
BL
is branch with link (immediate).
BX
is branch indirect (register).
BLX
is branch indirect with link (register).
cond
is an optional condition code, see “Conditional Execution” .
label
is a PC-relative expression. See “PC-relative Expressions” .
Rm
is a register that indicates an address to branch to. Bit[0] of the value in Rm
must be 1, but the address to branch to is created by changing bit[0] to 0.
Operation
All these instructions cause a branch to label, or to the address indicated in Rm. In addition:
The BL and BLX instructions write the address of the next instruction to LR (the link register, R14).
The BX and BLX instructions result in a UsageFault exception if bit[0] of Rm is 0.
Bcond label is the only conditional instruction that can be either inside or outside an IT block. All other branch
instructions must be conditional inside an IT block, and must be unconditional outside the IT block, see “IT” .
The table below shows the ranges for the various branch instructions.
Table 11-26.
Branch Ranges
Instruction

−16 MB to +16 MB
BX{cond} Rm
Any value in register
BLX{cond} Rm
Any value in register
The .W suffix might be used to get the maximum branch range. See “Instruction Width Selection” .
Restrictions
The restrictions are:
Do not use PC in the BLX instruction
For BX and BLX, bit[0] of Rm must be 1 for correct execution but a branch occurs to the target address
created by changing bit[0] to 0
When any of these instructions is inside an IT block, it must be the last instruction of the IT block.
Bcond is the only conditional instruction that is not required to be inside an IT block. However, it has a longer
branch range when it is inside an IT block.

IT
If-Then condition instruction.
Syntax
IT{x{y{z}}} cond
where:
x
specifies the condition switch for the second instruction in the IT block.
y
specifies the condition switch for the third instruction in the IT block.
z
specifies the condition switch for the fourth instruction in the IT block.
cond
specifies the condition for the first instruction in the IT block.
The condition switch for the second, third and fourth instruction in the IT block can be either:
T
Then. Applies the condition cond to the instruction.
E
Else. Applies the inverse condition of cond to the instruction.
It is possible to use AL (the always condition) for cond in an IT instruction. If this is done, all of the instructions in
the IT block must be unconditional, and each of x, y, and z must be T or omitted but not E.
Operation
The IT instruction makes up to four following instructions conditional. The conditions can be all the same, or some
of them can be the logical inverse of the others. The conditional instructions following the IT instruction form the IT
block.
The instructions in the IT block, including any branches, must specify the condition in the {cond} part of their
syntax.
The assembler might be able to generate the required IT instructions for conditional instructions automatically, so
that the user does not have to write them. See the assembler documentation for details.
A BKPT instruction in an IT block is always executed, even if its condition fails.
Exceptions can be taken between an IT instruction and the corresponding IT block, or within an IT block. Such an
exception results in entry to the appropriate exception handler, with suitable return information in LR and stacked
PSR.
Instructions designed for use for exception returns can be used as normal to return from the exception, and
execution of the IT block resumes correctly. This is the only way that a PC-modifying instruction is permitted to
branch to an instruction in an IT block.
Restrictions
The following instructions are not permitted in an IT block:
IT
CBZ and CBNZ
CPSID and CPSIE.
Other restrictions when using an IT block are:
A branch or any instruction that modifies the PC must either be outside an IT block or must be the last
instruction inside the IT block. These are:
̶
ADD PC, PC, Rm
̶
MOV PC, Rm
̶
B, BL, BX, BLX
̶
Any LDM, LDR, or POP instruction that writes to the PC
̶
TBB and TBH
Do not branch to any instruction inside an IT block, except when returning from an exception handler
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
171
All conditional instructions except Bcond must be inside an IT block. Bcond can be either outside or inside
an IT block but has a larger branch range if it is inside one
Each instruction inside the IT block must specify a condition code suffix that is either the same or logical
inverse as for the other instructions in the block.
Your assembler might place extra restrictions on the use of IT blocks, such as prohibiting the use of assembler
directives within them.

TBB and TBH
Table Branch Byte and Table Branch Halfword.
Syntax
TBB [Rn, Rm]
TBH [Rn, Rm, LSL #1]
where:
Rn
is the register containing the address of the table of branch lengths.
If Rn is PC, then the address of the table is the address of the byte immediately
following the TBB or TBH instruction.
Rm
is the index register. This contains an index into the table. For halfword tables,
LSL #1 doubles the value in Rm to form the right offset into the table.
Operation
These instructions cause a PC-relative forward branch using a table of single byte offsets for TBB, or halfword
offsets for TBH. Rn provides a pointer to the table, and Rm supplies an index into the table. For TBB the branch
offset is twice the unsigned value of the byte returned from the table. and for TBH the branch offset is twice the
unsigned value of the halfword returned from the table. The branch occurs to the address at that offset from the
address of the byte immediately after the TBB or TBH instruction.
Restrictions
The restrictions are:
Rn must not be SP
Rm must not be SP and must not be PC
When any of these instructions is used inside an IT block, it must be the last instruction of the IT block.
Condition Flags
These instructions do not change the flags.

11.8
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
This section describes the NVIC and the registers it uses. The NVIC supports:
Up to 47 interrupts
A programmable priority level of 0–15 for each interrupt. A higher level corresponds to a lower priority, so
level 0 is the highest interrupt priority.
Level detection of interrupt signals
Dynamic reprioritization of interrupts
Grouping of priority values into group priority and subpriority fields
Interrupt tail-chaining
An external Non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
The processor automatically stacks its state on exception entry and unstacks this state on exception exit, with no
instruction overhead. This provides low latency exception handling.
11.8.1
Level-sensitive Interrupts
The processor supports level-sensitive interrupts. A level-sensitive interrupt is held asserted until the peripheral
deasserts the interrupt signal. Typically, this happens because the ISR accesses the peripheral, causing it to clear
the interrupt request.
When the processor enters the ISR, it automatically removes the pending state from the interrupt (see “Hardware
and Software Control of Interrupts” ). For a level-sensitive interrupt, if the signal is not deasserted before the
processor returns from the ISR, the interrupt becomes pending again, and the processor must execute its ISR
again. This means that the peripheral can hold the interrupt signal asserted until it no longer requires servicing.
11.8.1.1
Hardware and Software Control of Interrupts
The Cortex-M4 latches all interrupts. A peripheral interrupt becomes pending for one of the following reasons:
The NVIC detects that the interrupt signal is HIGH and the interrupt is not active
The NVIC detects a rising edge on the interrupt signal
A software writes to the corresponding interrupt set-pending register bit, see “Interrupt Set-pending
Registers” , or to the NVIC_STIR to make an interrupt pending, see “Software Trigger Interrupt Register” .
A pending interrupt remains pending until one of the following:
The processor enters the ISR for the interrupt. This changes the state of the interrupt from pending to active.
Then:
̶
11.8.2
For a level-sensitive interrupt, when the processor returns from the ISR, the NVIC samples the
interrupt signal. If the signal is asserted, the state of the interrupt changes to pending, which might
cause the processor to immediately re-enter the ISR. Otherwise, the state of the interrupt changes to
inactive.
Software writes to the corresponding interrupt clear-pending register bit.
For a level-sensitive interrupt, if the interrupt signal is still asserted, the state of the interrupt does not
change. Otherwise, the state of the interrupt changes to inactive.
NVIC Design Hints and Tips
Ensure that the software uses correctly aligned register accesses. The processor does not support unaligned
accesses to NVIC registers. See the individual register descriptions for the supported access sizes.
A interrupt can enter a pending state even if it is disabled. Disabling an interrupt only prevents the processor from
taking that interrupt. Before programming SCB_VTOR to relocate the vector table, ensure that the vector table
entries of the new vector table are set up for fault handlers, NMI and all enabled exception like interrupts. For more
information, see the “Vector Table Offset Register” .

11.8.2.1
NVIC Programming Hints
The software uses the CPSIE I and CPSID I instructions to enable and disable the interrupts. The CMSIS provides
the following intrinsic functions for these instructions:
void __disable_irq(void) // Disable Interrupts
void __enable_irq(void) // Enable Interrupts
In addition, the CMSIS provides a number of functions for NVIC control, including:
Table 11-30.
CMSIS Functions for NVIC Control
CMSIS Interrupt Control Function
Description
void NVIC_SetPriorityGrouping(uint32_t priority_grouping)
Set the priority grouping
void NVIC_EnableIRQ(IRQn_t IRQn)
Enable IRQn
void NVIC_DisableIRQ(IRQn_t IRQn)
Disable IRQn
uint32_t NVIC_GetPendingIRQ (IRQn_t IRQn)
Return true (IRQ-Number) if IRQn is pending
void NVIC_SetPendingIRQ (IRQn_t IRQn)
Set IRQn pending
void NVIC_ClearPendingIRQ (IRQn_t IRQn)
Clear IRQn pending status
uint32_t NVIC_GetActive (IRQn_t IRQn)
Return the IRQ number of the active interrupt
void NVIC_SetPriority (IRQn_t IRQn, uint32_t priority)
Set priority for IRQn
uint32_t NVIC_GetPriority (IRQn_t IRQn)
Read priority of IRQn
void NVIC_SystemReset (void)
Reset the system
The input parameter IRQn is the IRQ number. For more information about these functions, see the CMSIS
documentation.
To improve software efficiency, the CMSIS simplifies the NVIC register presentation. In the CMSIS:
The Set-enable, Clear-enable, Set-pending, Clear-pending and Active Bit registers map to arrays of 32-bit
integers, so that:
̶
The array ISER[0] to ISER[1] corresponds to the registers ISER0–ISER1
̶
The array ICER[0] to ICER[1] corresponds to the registers ICER0–ICER1
̶
The array ISPR[0] to ISPR[1] corresponds to the registers ISPR0–ISPR1
̶
The array ICPR[0] to ICPR[1] corresponds to the registers ICPR0–ICPR1
̶
The array IABR[0] to IABR[1] corresponds to the registers IABR0–IABR1
The Interrupt Priority Registers (IPR0–IPR12) provide an 8-bit priority field for each interrupt and each
register holds four priority fields.
The CMSIS provides thread-safe code that gives atomic access to the Interrupt Priority Registers. Table 11-31
shows how the interrupts, or IRQ numbers, map onto the interrupt registers and corresponding CMSIS variables
that have one bit per interrupt.

The NVIC_IPR0–NVIC_IPR12 registers provide a 8-bit priority field for each interrupt. These registers are byte-accessible.
Each register holds four priority fields that map up to four elements in the CMSIS interrupt priority array IP[0] to IP[46].
• PRI3: Priority (4m+3)
Priority, Byte Offset 3, refers to register bits [31:24].
• PRI2: Priority (4m+2)
Priority, Byte Offset 2, refers to register bits [23:16].
• PRI1: Priority (4m+1)
Priority, Byte Offset 1, refers to register bits [15:8].
• PRI0: Priority (4m)
Priority, Byte Offset 0, refers to register bits [7:0].
Notes:
1. Each priority field holds a priority value, 0–15. The lower the value, the greater the priority of the corresponding interrupt.
The processor implements only bits[7:4] of each field; bits[3:0] read as zero and ignore writes.
2. For more information about the IP[0] to IP[46] interrupt priority array, that provides the software view of the interrupt
priorities, see Table 11-30, “CMSIS Functions for NVIC Control” .
3. The corresponding IPR number n is given by n = m DIV 4.
4. The byte offset of the required Priority field in this register is m MOD 4.

System Control Block (SCB)
The System Control Block (SCB) provides system implementation information, and system control. This includes
configuration, control, and reporting of the system exceptions.
Ensure that the software uses aligned accesses of the correct size to access the system control block registers:
Except for the SCB_CFSR and SCB_SHPR1–SCB_SHPR3 registers, it must use aligned word accesses
For the SCB_CFSR and SCB_SHPR1–SCB_SHPR3 registers, it can use byte or aligned halfword or word
accesses.
The processor does not support unaligned accesses to system control block registers.
In a fault handler, to determine the true faulting address:
1. Read and save the MMFAR or SCB_BFAR value.
2.
Read the MMARVALID bit in the MMFSR subregister, or the BFARVALID bit in the BFSR subregister. The
SCB_MMFAR or SCB_BFAR address is valid only if this bit is 1.
The software must follow this sequence because another higher priority exception might change the SCB_MMFAR
or SCB_BFAR value. For example, if a higher priority handler preempts the current fault handler, the other fault
might change the SCB_MMFAR or SCB_BFAR value.

DISMCYCINT
The SCB_ACTLR provides disable bits for the following processor functions:
• IT folding
• Write buffer use for accesses to the default memory map
• Interruption of multi-cycle instructions.
By default, this register is set to provide optimum performance from the Cortex-M4 processor, and does not normally
require modification.
• DISOOFP: Disable Out Of Order Floating Point
Disables floating point instructions that complete out of order with respect to integer instructions.
• DISFPCA: Disable FPCA
Disables an automatic update of CONTROL.FPCA.
• DISFOLD: Disable Folding
When set to 1, disables the IT folding.
Note: In some situations, the processor can start executing the first instruction in an IT block while it is still executing the IT instruction.
This behavior is called IT folding, and it improves the performance. However, IT folding can cause jitter in looping. If a task must
avoid jitter, set the DISFOLD bit to 1 before executing the task, to disable the IT folding.
• DISDEFWBUF: Disable Default Write Buffer
When set to 1, it disables the write buffer use during default memory map accesses. This causes BusFault to be precise
but decreases the performance, as any store to memory must complete before the processor can execute the next
instruction.
This bit only affects write buffers implemented in the Cortex-M4 processor.
• DISMCYCINT: Disable Multiple Cycle Interruption
When set to 1, it disables the interruption of load multiple and store multiple instructions. This increases the interrupt
latency of the processor, as any LDM or STM must complete before the processor can stack the current state and enter the
interrupt handler.

The SCB_ICSR provides a set-pending bit for the Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) exception, and set-pending and clearpending bits for the PendSV and SysTick exceptions.
It indicates:
• The exception number of the exception being processed, and whether there are preempted active exceptions,
• The exception number of the highest priority pending exception, and whether any interrupts are pending.
• NMIPENDSET: NMI Set-pending
Write:
PendSV set-pending bit.
Write:
0: No effect.
1: Changes NMI exception state to pending.
Read:
0: NMI exception is not pending.
1: NMI exception is pending.
As NMI is the highest-priority exception, the processor normally enters the NMI exception handler as soon as it registers a
write of 1 to this bit. Entering the handler clears this bit to 0. A read of this bit by the NMI exception handler returns 1 only if
the NMI signal is reasserted while the processor is executing that handler.
• PENDSVSET: PendSV Set-pending
Write:
0: No effect.
1: Changes PendSV exception state to pending.
Read:
0: PendSV exception is not pending.
1: PendSV exception is pending.
Writing a 1 to this bit is the only way to set the PendSV exception state to pending.

1: Changes SysTick exception state to pending.
Read:
0: SysTick exception is not pending.
1: SysTick exception is pending.
• PENDSTCLR: SysTick Exception Clear-pending
Write:
0: No effect.
1: Removes the pending state from the SysTick exception.
This bit is Write-only. On a register read, its value is Unknown.
• ISRPENDING: Interrupt Pending Flag (Excluding NMI and Faults)
0: Interrupt not pending.
1: Interrupt pending.
• VECTPENDING: Exception Number of the Highest Priority Pending Enabled Exception
0: No pending exceptions.
Nonzero: The exception number of the highest priority pending enabled exception.
The value indicated by this field includes the effect of the BASEPRI and FAULTMASK registers, but not any effect of the
PRIMASK register.
• RETTOBASE: Preempted Active Exceptions Present or Not
0: There are preempted active exceptions to execute.
1: There are no active exceptions, or the currently-executing exception is the only active exception.
• VECTACTIVE: Active Exception Number Contained
0: Thread mode.
Nonzero: The exception number of the currently active exception. The value is the same as IPSR bits [8:0]. See “Interrupt
Program Status Register” .
Subtract 16 from this value to obtain the IRQ number required to index into the Interrupt Clear-Enable, Set-Enable, ClearPending, Set-Pending, or Priority Registers, see “Interrupt Program Status Register” .
Note: When the user writes to the SCB_ICSR, the effect is unpredictable if:
- Writing a 1 to the PENDSVSET bit and writing a 1 to the PENDSVCLR bit
- Writing a 1 to the PENDSTSET bit and writing a 1 to the PENDSTCLR bit.

The SCB_VTOR indicates the offset of the vector table base address from memory address 0x00000000.
• TBLOFF: Vector Table Base Offset
It contains bits [29:7] of the offset of the table base from the bottom of the memory map.
Bit [29] determines whether the vector table is in the code or SRAM memory region:
0: Code.
1: SRAM.
It is sometimes called the TBLBASE bit.
Note: When setting TBLOFF, the offset must be aligned to the number of exception entries in the vector table. Configure the next
statement to give the information required for your implementation; the statement reminds the user of how to determine the
alignment requirement. The minimum alignment is 32 words, enough for up to 16 interrupts. For more interrupts, adjust the
alignment by rounding up to the next power of two. For example, if 21 interrupts are required, the alignment must be on a 64-word
boundary because the required table size is 37 words, and the next power of two is 64.
Table alignment requirements mean that bits[6:0] of the table offset are always zero.

• SEVONPEND: Send Event on Pending Bit
0: Only enabled interrupts or events can wake up the processor; disabled interrupts are excluded.
1: Enabled events and all interrupts, including disabled interrupts, can wake up the processor.
When an event or an interrupt enters the pending state, the event signal wakes up the processor from WFE. If the processor is not waiting for an event, the event is registered and affects the next WFE.
The processor also wakes up on execution of an SEV instruction or an external event.
• SLEEPDEEP: Sleep or Deep Sleep
Controls whether the processor uses sleep or deep sleep as its low power mode:
0: Sleep.
1: Deep sleep.
• SLEEPONEXIT: Sleep-on-exit
Indicates sleep-on-exit when returning from the Handler mode to the Thread mode:
0: Do not sleep when returning to Thread mode.
1: Enter sleep, or deep sleep, on return from an ISR.
Setting this bit to 1 enables an interrupt-driven application to avoid returning to an empty main application.

The SCB_CCR controls the entry to the Thread mode and enables the handlers for NMI, hard fault and faults escalated by
FAULTMASK to ignore BusFaults. It also enables the division by zero and unaligned access trapping, and the access to
the NVIC_STIR by unprivileged software (see “Software Trigger Interrupt Register” ).
• STKALIGN: Stack Alignment
Indicates the stack alignment on exception entry:
0: 4-byte aligned.
1: 8-byte aligned.
On exception entry, the processor uses bit [9] of the stacked PSR to indicate the stack alignment. On return from the
exception, it uses this stacked bit to restore the correct stack alignment.
• BFHFNMIGN: Bus Faults Ignored
Enables handlers with priority -1 or -2 to ignore data bus faults caused by load and store instructions. This applies to the
hard fault and FAULTMASK escalated handlers:
0: Data bus faults caused by load and store instructions cause a lock-up.
1: Handlers running at priority -1 and -2 ignore data bus faults caused by load and store instructions.
Set this bit to 1 only when the handler and its data are in absolutely safe memory. The normal use of this bit is to probe system devices and bridges to detect control path problems and fix them.
• DIV_0_TRP: Division by Zero Trap
Enables faulting or halting when the processor executes an SDIV or UDIV instruction with a divisor of 0:
0: Do not trap divide by 0.
1: Trap divide by 0.
When this bit is set to 0, a divide by zero returns a quotient of 0.
• UNALIGN_TRP: Unaligned Access Trap
Enables unaligned access traps:
0: Do not trap unaligned halfword and word accesses.
1: Trap unaligned halfword and word accesses.
If this bit is set to 1, an unaligned access generates a usage fault.

239
Unaligned LDM, STM, LDRD, and STRD instructions always fault irrespective of whether UNALIGN_TRP is set to 1.
• USERSETMPEND: Unprivileged Software Access
Enables unprivileged software access to the NVIC_STIR, see “Software Trigger Interrupt Register” :
0: Disable.
1: Enable.
• NONBASETHRDENA: Thread Mode Enable
Indicates how the processor enters Thread mode:
0: The processor can enter the Thread mode only when no exception is active.
1: The processor can enter the Thread mode from any level under the control of an EXC_RETURN value, see “Exception
Return” .

If the user disables a system handler and the corresponding fault occurs, the processor treats the fault as a hard fault.
The user can write to this register to change the pending or active status of system exceptions. An OS kernel can write to
the active bits to perform a context switch that changes the current exception type.

• IACCVIOL: Instruction Access Violation Flag
This is part of “MMFSR: Memory Management Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No instruction access violation fault.
1: The processor attempted an instruction fetch from a location that does not permit execution.
This fault occurs on any access to an XN region, even when the MPU is disabled or not present.
When this bit is 1, the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the faulting instruction. The processor has not
written a fault address to the SCB_MMFAR.
• DACCVIOL: Data Access Violation Flag
This is part of “MMFSR: Memory Management Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No data access violation fault.
1: The processor attempted a load or store at a location that does not permit the operation.
When this bit is 1, the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the faulting instruction. The processor has loaded
the SCB_MMFAR with the address of the attempted access.
• MUNSTKERR: Memory Manager Fault on Unstacking for a Return From Exception
This is part of “MMFSR: Memory Management Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No unstacking fault.
1: Unstack for an exception return has caused one or more access violations.
This fault is chained to the handler. This means that when this bit is 1, the original return stack is still present. The processor has not adjusted the SP from the failing return, and has not performed a new save. The processor has not written a
fault address to the SCB_MMFAR.
• MSTKERR: Memory Manager Fault on Stacking for Exception Entry
This is part of “MMFSR: Memory Management Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No stacking fault.
1: Stacking for an exception entry has caused one or more access violations.
When this bit is 1, the SP is still adjusted but the values in the context area on the stack might be incorrect. The processor
has not written a fault address to SCB_MMFAR.
• MLSPERR: MemManage During Lazy State Preservation

SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
This is part of “MMFSR: Memory Management Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No MemManage fault occurred during the floating-point lazy state preservation.
1: A MemManage fault occurred during the floating-point lazy state preservation.
• MMARVALID: Memory Management Fault Address Register (SCB_MMFAR) Valid Flag
This is part of “MMFSR: Memory Management Fault Status Subregister” .
0: The value in SCB_MMFAR is not a valid fault address.
1: SCB_MMFAR holds a valid fault address.
If a memory management fault occurs and is escalated to a hard fault because of priority, the hard fault handler must set
this bit to 0. This prevents problems on return to a stacked active memory management fault handler whose SCB_MMFAR
value has been overwritten.
• IBUSERR: Instruction Bus Error
This is part of “BFSR: Bus Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No instruction bus error.
1: Instruction bus error.
The processor detects the instruction bus error on prefetching an instruction, but it sets the IBUSERR flag to 1 only if it
attempts to issue the faulting instruction.
When the processor sets this bit to 1, it does not write a fault address to the BFAR.
• PRECISERR: Precise Data Bus Error
This is part of “BFSR: Bus Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No precise data bus error.
1: A data bus error has occurred, and the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the instruction that caused
the fault.
When the processor sets this bit to 1, it writes the faulting address to the SCB_BFAR.
• IMPRECISERR: Imprecise Data Bus Error
This is part of “BFSR: Bus Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No imprecise data bus error.
1: A data bus error has occurred, but the return address in the stack frame is not related to the instruction that caused the
error.
When the processor sets this bit to 1, it does not write a fault address to the SCB_BFAR.
This is an asynchronous fault. Therefore, if it is detected when the priority of the current process is higher than the bus fault
priority, the bus fault becomes pending and becomes active only when the processor returns from all higher priority processes. If a precise fault occurs before the processor enters the handler for the imprecise bus fault, the handler detects
that both this bit and one of the precise fault status bits are set to 1.
• UNSTKERR: Bus Fault on Unstacking for a Return From Exception
This is part of “BFSR: Bus Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No unstacking fault.
1: Unstack for an exception return has caused one or more bus faults.

This fault is chained to the handler. This means that when the processor sets this bit to 1, the original return stack is still
present. The processor does not adjust the SP from the failing return, does not performed a new save, and does not write
a fault address to the BFAR.
• STKERR: Bus Fault on Stacking for Exception Entry
This is part of “BFSR: Bus Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No stacking fault.
1: Stacking for an exception entry has caused one or more bus faults.
When the processor sets this bit to 1, the SP is still adjusted but the values in the context area on the stack might be incorrect. The processor does not write a fault address to the SCB_BFAR.
• LSPERR: Bus Error During Lazy Floating-point State Preservation
This is part of “BFSR: Bus Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No bus fault occurred during floating-point lazy state preservation
1: A bus fault occurred during floating-point lazy state preservation.
• BFARVALID: Bus Fault Address Register (BFAR) Valid flag
This is part of “BFSR: Bus Fault Status Subregister” .
0: The value in SCB_BFAR is not a valid fault address.
1: SCB_BFAR holds a valid fault address.
The processor sets this bit to 1 after a bus fault where the address is known. Other faults can set this bit to 0, such as a
memory management fault occurring later.
If a bus fault occurs and is escalated to a hard fault because of priority, the hard fault handler must set this bit to 0. This
prevents problems if returning to a stacked active bus fault handler whose SCB_BFAR value has been overwritten.
• UNDEFINSTR: Undefined Instruction Usage Fault
This is part of “UFSR: Usage Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No undefined instruction usage fault.
1: The processor has attempted to execute an undefined instruction.
When this bit is set to 1, the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the undefined instruction.
An undefined instruction is an instruction that the processor cannot decode.
• INVSTATE: Invalid State Usage Fault
This is part of “UFSR: Usage Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No invalid state usage fault.
1: The processor has attempted to execute an instruction that makes illegal use of the EPSR.
When this bit is set to 1, the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the instruction that attempted the illegal
use of the EPSR.
This bit is not set to 1 if an undefined instruction uses the EPSR.

Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
• INVPC: Invalid PC Load Usage Fault
This is part of “UFSR: Usage Fault Status Subregister” . It is caused by an invalid PC load by EXC_RETURN:
0: No invalid PC load usage fault.
1: The processor has attempted an illegal load of EXC_RETURN to the PC, as a result of an invalid context, or an invalid
EXC_RETURN value.
When this bit is set to 1, the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the instruction that tried to perform the illegal load of the PC.
• NOCP: No Coprocessor Usage Fault
This is part of “UFSR: Usage Fault Status Subregister” . The processor does not support coprocessor instructions:
0: No usage fault caused by attempting to access a coprocessor.
1: The processor has attempted to access a coprocessor.
• UNALIGNED: Unaligned Access Usage Fault
This is part of “UFSR: Usage Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No unaligned access fault, or unaligned access trapping not enabled.
1: The processor has made an unaligned memory access.
Enable trapping of unaligned accesses by setting the UNALIGN_TRP bit in the SCB_CCR to 1. See “Configuration and
Control Register” . Unaligned LDM, STM, LDRD, and STRD instructions always fault irrespective of the setting of
UNALIGN_TRP.
• DIVBYZERO: Divide by Zero Usage Fault
This is part of “UFSR: Usage Fault Status Subregister” .
0: No divide by zero fault, or divide by zero trapping not enabled.
1: The processor has executed an SDIV or UDIV instruction with a divisor of 0.
When the processor sets this bit to 1, the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the instruction that performed
the divide by zero. Enable trapping of divide by zero by setting the DIV_0_TRP bit in the SCB_CCR to 1. See “Configuration and Control Register” .

The SCB_HFSR gives information about events that activate the hard fault handler. This register is read, write to clear.
This means that bits in the register read normally, but wrting a 1 to any bit clears that bit to 0.
• DEBUGEVT: Reserved for Debug Use
When writing to the register, write a 0 to this bit, otherwise the behavior is unpredictable.
• FORCED: Forced Hard Fault
It indicates a forced hard fault, generated by escalation of a fault with configurable priority that cannot be handles, either
because of priority or because it is disabled:
0: No forced hard fault.
1: Forced hard fault.
When this bit is set to 1, the hard fault handler must read the other fault status registers to find the cause of the fault.
• VECTTBL: Bus Fault on a Vector Table
It indicates a bus fault on a vector table read during an exception processing:
0: No bus fault on vector table read.
1: Bus fault on vector table read.
This error is always handled by the hard fault handler.
When this bit is set to 1, the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the instruction that was preempted by the
exception.
Note: The HFSR bits are sticky. This means that, as one or more fault occurs, the associated bits are set to 1. A bit that is set to 1 is
cleared to 0 only by wrting a 1 to that bit, or by a reset.

1. When an unaligned access faults, the address is the actual address that faulted. Because a single read or write instruction
can be split into multiple aligned accesses, the fault address can be any address in the range of the requested access size.
2. Flags in the MMFSR subregister indicate the cause of the fault, and whether the value in the SCB_MMFAR is valid. See

ADDRESS
The SCB_BFAR contains the address of the location that generated a bus fault.
• ADDRESS: Bus Fault Generation Location Address
When the BFARVALID bit of the BFSR subregister is set to 1, this field holds the address of the location that generated the
bus fault.
Notes:
1. When an unaligned access faults, the address in the SCB_BFAR is the one requested by the instruction, even if it is not the
address of the fault.
2. Flags in the BFSR indicate the cause of the fault, and whether the value in the SCB_BFAR is valid. See “BFSR: Bus Fault
Status Subregister” .

11.10 System Timer (SysTick)
The processor has a 24-bit system timer, SysTick, that counts down from the reload value to zero, reloads (wraps
to) the value in the SYST_RVR on the next clock edge, then counts down on subsequent clocks.
When the processor is halted for debugging, the counter does not decrement.
The SysTick counter runs on the processor clock. If this clock signal is stopped for low power mode, the SysTick
counter stops.
Ensure that the software uses aligned word accesses to access the SysTick registers.
The SysTick counter reload and current value are undefined at reset; the correct initialization sequence for the
SysTick counter is:
1. Program the reload value.
256
2.
Clear the current value.
3.
Program the Control and Status register.

The SysTick SYST_CSR enables the SysTick features.
• COUNTFLAG: Count Flag
Returns 1 if the timer counted to 0 since the last time this was read.
• CLKSOURCE: Clock Source
Indicates the clock source:
0: External Clock.
1: Processor Clock.
• TICKINT: SysTick Exception Request Enable
Enables a SysTick exception request:
0: Counting down to zero does not assert the SysTick exception request.
1: Counting down to zero asserts the SysTick exception request.
The software can use COUNTFLAG to determine if SysTick has ever counted to zero.
• ENABLE: Counter Enable
Enables the counter:
0: Counter disabled.
1: Counter enabled.
When ENABLE is set to 1, the counter loads the RELOAD value from the SYST_RVR and then counts down. On reaching
0, it sets the COUNTFLAG to 1 and optionally asserts the SysTick depending on the value of TICKINT. It then loads the
RELOAD value again, and begins counting.

The SYST_RVR specifies the start value to load into the SYST_CVR.
• RELOAD: SYST_CVR Load Value
Value to load into the SYST_CVR when the counter is enabled and when it reaches 0.
The RELOAD value can be any value in the range 0x00000001–0x00FFFFFF. A start value of 0 is possible, but has no
effect because the SysTick exception request and COUNTFLAG are activated when counting from 1 to 0.
The RELOAD value is calculated according to its use: For example, to generate a multi-shot timer with a period of N processor clock cycles, use a RELOAD value of N-1. If the SysTick interrupt is required every 100 clock pulses, set RELOAD
to 99.

The SysTick SYST_CSR indicates the SysTick calibration properties.
• NOREF: No Reference Clock
It indicates whether the device provides a reference clock to the processor:
0: Reference clock provided.
1: No reference clock provided.
If your device does not provide a reference clock, the SYST_CSR.CLKSOURCE bit reads-as-one and ignores writes.
• SKEW: TENMS Value Verification
It indicates whether the TENMS value is exact:
0: TENMS value is exact.
1: TENMS value is inexact, or not given.
An inexact TENMS value can affect the suitability of SysTick as a software real time clock.
• TENMS: Ten Milliseconds
The reload value for 10 ms (100 Hz) timing is subject to system clock skew errors. If the value reads as zero, the calibration value is not known.
The TENMS field default value is 0x00003A98 (15000 decimal).
In order to achieve a 1 ms timebase on SystTick, the TENMS field must be programmed to a value corresponding to the
processor clock frequency (in kHz) divided by 8.
For example, for devices running the processor clock at 48 MHz, the TENMS field value must be 0x0001770
(48000 kHz/8).

11.11 Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The MPU divides the memory map into a number of regions, and defines the location, size, access permissions,
and memory attributes of each region. It supports:
Independent attribute settings for each region
Overlapping regions
Export of memory attributes to the system.
The memory attributes affect the behavior of memory accesses to the region. The Cortex-M4 MPU defines:
Eight separate memory regions, 0–7
A background region.
When memory regions overlap, a memory access is affected by the attributes of the region with the highest
number. For example, the attributes for region 7 take precedence over the attributes of any region that overlaps
region 7.
The background region has the same memory access attributes as the default memory map, but is accessible
from privileged software only.
The Cortex-M4 MPU memory map is unified. This means that instruction accesses and data accesses have the
same region settings.
If a program accesses a memory location that is prohibited by the MPU, the processor generates a memory
management fault. This causes a fault exception, and might cause the termination of the process in an OS
environment.
In an OS environment, the kernel can update the MPU region setting dynamically based on the process to be
executed. Typically, an embedded OS uses the MPU for memory protection.
The configuration of MPU regions is based on memory types (see “Memory Regions, Types and Attributes” ).
Table 11-36 shows the possible MPU region attributes. These include Share ability and cache behavior attributes
that are not relevant to most microcontroller implementations. See “MPU Configuration for a Microcontroller” for
guidelines for programming such an implementation.

MPU Access Permission Attributes
This section describes the MPU access permission attributes. The access permission bits (TEX, C, B, S, AP, and
XN) of the MPU_RASR control the access to the corresponding memory region. If an access is made to an area of
memory without the required permissions, then the MPU generates a permission fault.

Fault Status Subregister” for more information.
11.11.1.2
Updating an MPU Region
To update the attributes for an MPU region, update the MPU_RNR, MPU_RBAR and MPU_RASRs. Each register
can be programed separately, or a multiple-word write can be used to program all of these registers. MPU_RBAR
and MPU_RASR aliases can be used to program up to four regions simultaneously using an STM instruction.
11.11.1.3
Updating an MPU Region Using Separate Words
Simple code to configure one region:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = size/enable
; R3 = attributes
; R4 = address
LDR R0,=MPU_RNR
STR R1, [R0, #0x0]
STR R4, [R0, #0x4]
STRH R2, [R0, #0x8]
STRH R3, [R0, #0xA]
;

enabled. For example:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = size/enable
; R3 = attributes
; R4 = address
LDR R0,=MPU_RNR
; 0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
STR R1, [R0, #0x0]

SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
STRH R2, [R0, #0x8]
; Region Size and Enable
The software must use memory barrier instructions:
Before the MPU setup, if there might be outstanding memory transfers, such as buffered writes, that might
be affected by the change in MPU settings
After the MPU setup, if it includes memory transfers that must use the new MPU settings.
However, memory barrier instructions are not required if the MPU setup process starts by entering an exception
handler, or is followed by an exception return, because the exception entry and exception return mechanisms
cause memory barrier behavior.
The software does not need any memory barrier instructions during an MPU setup, because it accesses the MPU
through the PPB, which is a Strongly-Ordered memory region.
For example, if the user wants all of the memory access behavior to take effect immediately after the programming
sequence, a DSB instruction and an ISB instruction must be used. A DSB is required after changing MPU settings,
such as at the end of a context switch. An ISB is required if the code that programs the MPU region or regions is
entered using a branch or call. If the programming sequence is entered using a return from exception, or by taking
an exception, then an ISB is not required.
11.11.1.4
Updating an MPU Region Using Multi-word Writes
The user can program directly using multi-word writes, depending on how the information is divided. Consider the
following reprogramming:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = address
; R3 = size, attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPU_RNR
; 0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
STR R1, [R0, #0x0] ; Region Number
STR R2, [R0, #0x4] ; Region Base Address
STR R3, [R0, #0x8] ; Region Attribute, Size and Enable
Use an STM instruction to optimize this:
; R1 = region number
; R2 = address
; R3 = size, attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPU_RNR
; 0xE000ED98, MPU region number register
STM R0, {R1-R3}
; Region Number, address, attribute, size and enable
This can be done in two words for pre-packed information. This means that the MPU_RBAR contains the required
region number and had the VALID bit set to 1. See “MPU Region Base Address Register” . Use this when the data
is statically packed, for example in a boot loader:
; R1 = address and region number in one
; R2 = size and attributes in one
LDR R0, =MPU_RBAR
; 0xE000ED9C, MPU Region Base register
STR R1, [R0, #0x0] ; Region base address and
; region number combined with VALID (bit 4) set to 1
STR R2, [R0, #0x4] ; Region Attribute, Size and Enable
Use an STM instruction to optimize this:
; R1 = address and region number in one
; R2 = size and attributes in one
LDR R0,=MPU_RBAR
; 0xE000ED9C, MPU Region Base register

Subregions
Regions of 256 bytes or more are divided into eight equal-sized subregions. Set the corresponding bit in the SRD
field of the MPU_RASR field to disable a subregion. See “MPU Region Attribute and Size Register” . The least
significant bit of SRD controls the first subregion, and the most significant bit controls the last subregion. Disabling
a subregion means another region overlapping the disabled range matches instead. If no other enabled region
overlaps the disabled subregion, the MPU issues a fault.
Regions of 32, 64, and 128 bytes do not support subregions. With regions of these sizes, the SRD field must be
set to 0x00, otherwise the MPU behavior is unpredictable.
11.11.1.6
Example of SRD Use
Two regions with the same base address overlap. Region 1 is 128 KB, and region 2 is 512 KB. To ensure the
attributes from region 1 apply to the first 128 KB region, set the SRD field for region 2 to b00000011 to disable the
first two subregions, as in Figure 11-13 below:

MPU Design Hints And Tips
To avoid unexpected behavior, disable the interrupts before updating the attributes of a region that the interrupt
handlers might access.
Ensure the software uses aligned accesses of the correct size to access MPU registers:
Except for the MPU_RASR, it must use aligned word accesses
For the MPU_RASR, it can use byte or aligned halfword or word accesses.
The processor does not support unaligned accesses to MPU registers.
When setting up the MPU, and if the MPU has previously been programmed, disable unused regions to prevent
any previous region settings from affecting the new MPU setup.
MPU Configuration for a Microcontroller

In most microcontroller implementations, the shareability and cache policy attributes do not affect the system
behavior. However, using these settings for the MPU regions can make the application code more portable. The
values given are for typical situations. In special systems, such as multiprocessor designs or designs with a
separate DMA engine, the shareability attribute might be important. In these cases, refer to the recommendations
of the memory device manufacturer.

ENABLE
The MPU CTRL register enables the MPU, enables the default memory map background region, and enables the use of
the MPU when in the hard fault, Non-maskable Interrupt (NMI), and FAULTMASK escalated handlers.
• PRIVDEFENA: Privileged Default Memory Map Enable
Enables privileged software access to the default memory map:
0: If the MPU is enabled, disables the use of the default memory map. Any memory access to a location not covered by
any enabled region causes a fault.
1: If the MPU is enabled, enables the use of the default memory map as a background region for privileged software
accesses.
When enabled, the background region acts as a region number -1. Any region that is defined and enabled has priority over
this default map.
If the MPU is disabled, the processor ignores this bit.
• HFNMIENA: Hard Fault and NMI Enable
Enables the operation of MPU during hard fault, NMI, and FAULTMASK handlers.
When the MPU is enabled:
0: MPU is disabled during hard fault, NMI, and FAULTMASK handlers, regardless of the value of the ENABLE bit.
1: The MPU is enabled during hard fault, NMI, and FAULTMASK handlers.
When the MPU is disabled, if this bit is set to 1, the behavior is unpredictable.
• ENABLE: MPU Enable
Enables the MPU:
0: MPU disabled.
1: MPU enabled.
When ENABLE and PRIVDEFENA are both set to 1:
• For privileged accesses, the default memory map is as described in “Memory Model” . Any access by privileged
software that does not address an enabled memory region behaves as defined by the default memory map.
• Any access by unprivileged software that does not address an enabled memory region causes a memory management
fault.

Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
XN and Strongly-ordered rules always apply to the System Control Space regardless of the value of the ENABLE bit.
When the ENABLE bit is set to 1, at least one region of the memory map must be enabled for the system to function unless
the PRIVDEFENA bit is set to 1. If the PRIVDEFENA bit is set to 1 and no regions are enabled, then only privileged software can operate.
When the ENABLE bit is set to 0, the system uses the default memory map. This has the same memory attributes as if the
MPU is not implemented. The default memory map applies to accesses from both privileged and unprivileged software.
When the MPU is enabled, accesses to the System Control Space and vector table are always permitted. Other areas are
accessible based on regions and whether PRIVDEFENA is set to 1.
Unless HFNMIENA is set to 1, the MPU is not enabled when the processor is executing the handler for an exception with
priority –1 or –2. These priorities are only possible when handling a hard fault or NMI exception, or when FAULTMASK is
enabled. Setting the HFNMIENA bit to 1 enables the MPU when operating with these two priorities.

• REGION: MPU Region Referenced by the MPU_RBAR and MPU_RASRs
Indicates the MPU region referenced by the MPU_RBAR and MPU_RASRs.
The MPU supports 8 memory regions, so the permitted values of this field are 0–7.
Normally, the required region number is written to this register before accessing the MPU_RBAR or MPU_RASR. However, the region number can be changed by writing to the MPU_RBAR with the VALID bit set to 1; see “MPU Region Base
Address Register” . This write updates the value of the REGION field.

MPU_RASR).
If the region size is configured to 4 GB, in the MPU_RASR, there is no valid ADDR field. In this case, the region occupies
the complete memory map, and the base address is 0x00000000.
The base address is aligned to the size of the region. For example, a 64 KB region must be aligned on a multiple of 64 KB,
for example, at 0x00010000 or 0x00020000.
• VALID: MPU Region Number Valid
Write:
0: MPU_RNR not changed, and the processor updates the base address for the region specified in the MPU_RNR, and
ignores the value of the REGION field.
1: The processor updates the value of the MPU_RNR to the value of the REGION field, and updates the base address for
the region specified in the REGION field.
Always reads as zero.
• REGION: MPU Region
For the behavior on writes, see the description of the VALID field.
On reads, returns the current region number, as specified by the MPU_RNR.

constant instructions.
The FPU provides floating-point computation functionality that is compliant with the ANSI/IEEE Std 754-2008,
IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, referred to as the IEEE 754 standard.
The FPU contains 32 single-precision extension registers, which can also be accessed as 16 doubleword registers
for load, store, and move operations.
11.12.1
Enabling the FPU
The FPU is disabled from reset. It must be enabled before any floating-point instructions can be used. Example 41 shows an example code sequence for enabling the FPU in both privileged and user modes. The processor must
be in privileged mode to read from and write to the CPACR.
Example of Enabling the FPU:
; CPACR is located at address 0xE000ED88
LDR.W R0, =0xE000ED88
; Read CPACR
LDR R1, [R0]
; Set bits 20-23 to enable CP10 and CP11 coprocessors
ORR R1, R1, #(0xF = EXTERNAL RESET LENGTH
13.4.4
Reset State Priorities
The reset state manager manages the priorities among the different reset sources. The resets are listed in order of
priority as follows:
1. General reset
2.
Backup reset
3.
Watchdog reset
4.
Software reset
5.
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.
314
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.

Real-time Timer (RTT)
14.1
Description
The Real-time Timer (RTT) is built around a 32-bit counter used to count roll-over events of the programmable 16bit prescaler driven from the 32-kHz slow clock source. It generates a periodic interrupt and/or triggers an alarm on
a programmed value.
The RTT can also be configured to be driven by the 1Hz RTC signal, thus taking advantage of a calibrated 1Hz
clock.
The slow clock source can be fully disabled to reduce power consumption when only an elapsed seconds count is
required.

Functional Description
The programmable 16-bit prescaler value can be configured through the RTPRES field in the “Real-time Timer
Mode Register” (RTT_MR).
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16

Configuring the RTPRES field value to 0x8000 (default value) corresponds to feeding the real-time counter with a
1Hz 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. Bit RTTINC in the “Real-time Timer Status Register” (RTT_SR) is set
each time there is a prescaler roll-over (see Figure 14-2)
The real-time 32-bit counter can also be supplied by the 1Hz RTC clock. This mode is interesting when the RTC
1Hz is calibrated (CORRECTION field ≠ 0 in RTC_MR) in order to guaranty the synchronism between RTC and
RTT counters.
Setting the RTC1HZ bit in the RTT_MR drives the 32-bit RTT counter from the 1Hz RTC clock. In this mode, the
RTPRES field has no effect on the 32-bit counter.
The prescaler roll-over generates an increment of the real-time timer counter if RTC1HZ = 0. Otherwise, if
RTC1HZ = 1, the real-time timer counter is incremented every second. The RTTINC bit is set independently from
the 32-bit counter increment.
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 in RTT_MR.
Programming RTPRES to 1 or 2 is forbidden.
If the RTT is configured to trigger an interrupt, the interrupt occurs two slow clock cycles after reading the RTT_SR.
To prevent several executions of the interrupt handler, the interrupt must be disabled in the interrupt handler and
re-enabled when the RTT_SR is cleared.
The CRTV field can be read at any time in the “Real-time Timer Value Register” (RTT_VR). As this value can be
updated asynchronously with the Master Clock, the CRTV field must be read twice at the same value to read a
correct value.
The current value of the counter is compared with the value written in the “Real-time Timer Alarm Register”
(RTT_AR). If the counter value matches the alarm, the ALMS bit in the RTT_SR is set. The RTT_AR is set to its
maximum value (0xFFFF_FFFF) after a reset.
The ALMS flag is always a source of the RTT alarm signal that may be used to exit the system from low power
modes (see Figure 14-1).
The alarm interrupt must be disabled (ALMIEN must be cleared in RTT_MR) when writing a new ALMV value in
the RTT_AR.
The RTTINC bit can be used to start a periodic interrupt, the period being one second when the RTPRES field
value = 0x8000 and the slow clock = 32.768 kHz.
The RTTINCIEN bit must be cleared prior to writing a new RTPRES value in the RTT_MR.
Reading the RTT_SR automatically clears the RTTINC and ALMS bits.
Writing the RTTRST bit in the RTT_MR immediately reloads and restarts the clock divider with the new
programmed value. This also resets the 32-bit counter.
When not used, the Real-time Timer can be disabled in order to suppress dynamic power consumption in this
module. This can be achieved by setting the RTTDIS bit in the RTT_MR.

Real-time Clock (RTC)
15.1
Description
The Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral is designed for very low power consumption. For optimal functionality, the
RTC requires an accurate external 32.768 kHz clock, which can be provided by a crystal oscillator.
It combines a complete time-of-day clock with alarm and a Gregorian or Persian 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.
A clock divider calibration circuitry can be used to compensate for crystal oscillator frequency variations.
An RTC output can be programmed to generate several waveforms, including a prescaled clock derived from
32.768 kHz.

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 reported in RTC Time Register (RTC_TIMR) and RTC Calendar
Register (RTC_CALR).
The valid year range is up to 2099 in Gregorian mode (or 1300 to 1499 in Persian mode).
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 except 1900). This is correct up to
the year 2099.
The RTC can generate configurable waveforms on RTCOUT0/1 outputs.
15.5.1
Reference Clock
The reference clock is the Slow Clock (SLCK). It can be driven internally or by an external 32.768 kHz crystal.
During low power modes of the processor, 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.
15.5.2
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.
15.5.3
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:
328
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.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
Depending on the combination of fields enabled, a large number of possibilities are available to the user ranging
from minutes to 365/366 days.
Hour, minute and second matching alarm (SECEN, MINEN, HOUREN) can be enabled independently of SEC,
MIN, HOUR fields.
Note:
15.5.4
To change one of the SEC, MIN, HOUR, DATE, MONTH fields, it is recommended to disable the field before changing
the value and then re-enable it after the change has been made. This requires up to three accesses to the
RTC_TIMALR or RTC_CALALR. The first access clears the enable corresponding to the field to change (SECEN,
MINEN, HOUREN, DATEEN, MTHEN). If the field is already cleared, this access is not required. The second access
performs the change of the value (SEC, MIN, HOUR, DATE, MONTH). The third access is required to re-enable the
field by writing 1 in SECEN, MINEN, HOUREn, DATEEN, MTHEN fields.
Error Checking when Programming
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 followed for the alarm.
The following checks are performed:
1. Century (check if it is in range 19–20 or 13–14 in Persian mode)
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)

Note:
15.5.5
If the 12-hour mode is selected by means of the RTC Mode Register (RTC_MR), a 12-hour value can be programmed
and the returned value on RTC_TIMR will be the corresponding 24-hour value. The entry control checks the value of
the AM/PM indicator (bit 22 of RTC_TIMR) to determine the range to be checked.
RTC Internal Free Running Counter Error Checking
To improve the reliability and security of the RTC, a permanent check is performed on the internal free running
counters to report non-BCD or invalid date/time values.
An error is reported by TDERR bit in the status register (RTC_SR) if an incorrect value has been detected. The
flag can be cleared by setting the TDERRCLR bit in the Status Clear Command Register (RTC_SCCR).
Anyway the TDERR error flag will be set again if the source of the error has not been cleared before clearing the
TDERR flag. The clearing of the source of such error can be done by reprogramming a correct value on
RTC_CALR and/or RTC_TIMR.
The RTC internal free running counters may automatically clear the source of TDERR due to their roll-over (i.e.,
every 10 seconds for SECONDS[3:0] field in RTC_TIMR). In this case the TDERR is held high until a clear
command is asserted by TDERRCLR bit in RTC_SCCR.
15.5.6
Updating Time/Calendar
The update of the time/calendar must be synchronized on a second periodic event by either polling the
RTC_SR.SEC status bit or by enabling the SECEN interrupt in the RTC_IER register.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]

Once the second event occurs, the user must stop the RTC by setting the corresponding field in the Control
Register (RTC_CR). 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).
The ACKUPD bit must then be read to 1 by either polling the RTC_SR or by enabling the ACKUPD interrupt in the
RTC_IER. Once ACKUPD is read to 1, it is mandatory to clear this flag by writing the corresponding bit in the
RTC_SCCR, after which the user can write to the Time Register, the Calendar Register, or both.
Once the update is finished, the user must write UPDTIM and/or UPDCAL to 0 in the RTC_CR.
The timing sequence of the time/calendar update is described in Figure 15-2.
When entering the Programming mode of the calendar fields, the time fields remain enabled. When entering the
Programming mode of the time fields, both the time and the calendar fields are stopped. This is due to the location
of the calendar logical 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
for at least one second after resetting the UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit in the RTC_CR before setting these bits again.
This is done by waiting for the SEC flag in the RTC_SR before setting the UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit. After resetting
UPDTIM/UPDCAL, the SEC flag must also be cleared.

RTC Accurate Clock Calibration
The crystal oscillator that drives the RTC may not be as accurate as expected mainly due to temperature variation.
The RTC is equipped with circuitry able to correct slow clock crystal drift.
To compensate for possible temperature variations over time, this accurate clock calibration circuitry can be
programmed on-the-fly and also programmed during application manufacturing, in order to correct the crystal
frequency accuracy at room temperature (20–25°C). The typical clock drift range at room temperature is ±20 ppm.
In the device operating temperature range, the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator clock inaccuracy can be up to 200 ppm.
The RTC clock calibration circuitry allows positive or negative correction in a range of 1.5 ppm to 1950 ppm.
The calibration circuitry is fully digital. Thus, the configured correction is independent of temperature, voltage,
process, etc., and no additional measurement is required to check that the correction is effective.
If the correction value configured in the calibration circuitry results from an accurate crystal frequency measure,
the remaining accuracy is bounded by the values listed below:
Below 1 ppm, for an initial crystal drift between 1.5 ppm up to 20 ppm, and from 30 ppm to 90 ppm
Below 2 ppm, for an initial crystal drift between 20 ppm up to 30 ppm, and from 90 ppm to 130 ppm
Below 5 ppm, for an initial crystal drift between 130 ppm up to 200 ppm
The calibration circuitry does not modify the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator clock frequency but it acts by slightly
modifying the 1 Hz clock period from time to time. The correction event occurs every 1 + [(20 (19 x HIGHPPM)) x CORRECTION] seconds. When the period is modified, depending on the sign of the
correction, the 1 Hz clock period increases or reduces by around 4 ms. Depending on the CORRECTION,
NEGPPM and HIGHPPM values configured in RTC_MR, the period interval between two correction events differs.

The inaccuracy of a crystal oscillator at typical room temperature (±20 ppm at 20–25 °C) can be compensated if a
reference clock/signal is used to measure such inaccuracy. This kind of calibration operation can be set up during
the final product manufacturing by means of measurement equipment embedding such a reference clock. The
correction of value must be programmed into the (RTC_MR), and this value is kept as long as the circuitry is
powered (backup area). Removing the backup power supply cancels this calibration. This room temperature
calibration can be further processed by means of the networking capability of the target application.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
333
To ease the comparison of the inherent crystal accuracy with the reference clock/signal during manufacturing, an
internal prescaled 32.768 kHz clock derivative signal can be assigned to drive RTC output. To accommodate the
measure, several clock frequencies can be selected among 1 Hz, 32 Hz, 64 Hz, 512 Hz.
The clock calibration correction drives the internal RTC counters but can also be observed in the RTC output when
one of the following three frequencies 1 Hz, 32 Hz or 64 Hz is configured. The correction is not visible in the RTC
output if 512 Hz frequency is configured.
In any event, this adjustment does not take into account the temperature variation.
The frequency drift (up to -200 ppm) due to temperature variation can be compensated using a reference time if
the application can access such a reference. If a reference time cannot be used, a temperature sensor can be
placed close to the crystal oscillator in order to get the operating temperature of the crystal oscillator. Once
obtained, the temperature may be converted using a lookup table (describing the accuracy/temperature curve of
the crystal oscillator used) and RTC_MR configured accordingly. The calibration can be performed on-the-fly. This
adjustment method is not based on a measurement of the crystal frequency/drift and therefore can be improved by
means of the networking capability of the target application.
If no crystal frequency adjustment has been done during manufacturing, it is still possible to do it. In the case
where a reference time of the day can be obtained through LAN/WAN network, it is possible to calculate the drift of
the application crystal oscillator by comparing the values read on RTC Time Register (RTC_TIMR) and
programming the HIGHPPM and CORRECTION fields on RTC_MR according to the difference measured
between the reference time and those of RTC_TIMR.
15.5.8
Waveform Generation
Waveforms can be generated by the RTC in order to take advantage of the RTC inherent prescalers while the RTC
is the only powered circuitry (Low-power mode of operation, Backup mode) or in any active mode. Going into
Backup or Low-power operating modes does not affect the waveform generation outputs.
The RTC outputs (RTCOUT0 and RTCOUT1) have a source driver selected among seven possibilities.
The first selection choice sticks the associated output at 0 (This is the reset value and it can be used at any time to
disable the waveform generation).
Selection choices 1 to 4 respectively select 1 Hz, 32 Hz, 64 Hz and 512 Hz.
32 Hz or 64 Hz can drive, for example, a TN LCD backplane signal while 1 Hz can be used to drive a blinking
character like “:” for basic time display (hour, minute) on TN LCDs.
Selection choice 5 provides a toggling signal when the RTC alarm is reached.
Selection choice 6 provides a copy of the alarm flag, so the associated output is set high (logical 1) when an alarm
occurs and immediately cleared when software clears the alarm interrupt source.
Selection choice 7 provides a 1 Hz periodic high pulse of 15 µs duration that can be used to drive external devices
for power consumption reduction or any other purpose.
PIO lines associated to RTC outputs are automatically selecting these waveforms as soon as RTC_MR
corresponding fields OUT0 and OUT1 differ from 0.

This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in the System Controller Write Protection Mode Register
(SYSC_WPMR).
Note: To change one of the DATE, MONTH fields, it is recommended to disable the field before changing the value and then re-enable
it after the change has been made. This requires up to three accesses to the RTC_CALALR. The first access clears the enable
corresponding to the field to change (DATEEN, MTHEN). If the field is already cleared, this access is not required. The second
access performs the change of the value (DATE, MONTH). The third access is required to re-enable the field by writing 1 in
DATEEN, MTHEN fields.
• MONTH: Month Alarm
This field is the alarm field corresponding to the BCD-coded month counter.

TEVCNT
RTC_TSTR0 reports the timestamp of the first tamper event.
• TEVCNT: Tamper Events Counter (cleared by reading RTC_TSSR0)
Each time a tamper event occurs, this counter is incremented. This counter saturates at 15. Once this value is reached, it
is no more possible to know the exact number of tamper events.
If this field is not null, this implies that at least one tamper event occurs since last register reset and that the values stored
in timestamping registers are valid.
• BACKUP: System Mode of the Tamper (cleared by reading RTC_TSSR0)
0: The state of the system is different from Backup mode when the tamper event occurs.
1: The system is in Backup mode when the tamper event occurs.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
16.1
Description
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is 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 around 32 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 Sleep mode (Idle mode).

Low-power Tamper Detection and Anti-Tampering
Low-power debouncer inputs (WKUP0, WKUP1) can be used for tamper detection. If the tamper sensor is biased
through a resistor and constantly driven by the power supply, this leads to power consumption as long as the
tamper detection switch is in its active state. To prevent power consumption when the switch is in active state, the
tamper sensor circuitry must be intermittently powered, and thus a specific waveform must be applied to the
sensor circuitry.
The waveform is generated using RTCOUTx in all modes including Backup mode. Refer to the section “Real-Time
Clock (RTC)” for waveform generation.
Separate debouncers are embedded, one for WKUP0 input, one for WKUP1 input.
The WKUP0 and/or WKUP1 inputs perform a system wake-up upon tamper detection. This is enabled by setting
the LPDBCEN0/1 bit in the SUPC_WUMR.
WKUP0 and/or WKUP1 inputs can also be used when VDDCORE is powered to detect a tamper.
380
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
When the bit LPDBCENx is written to 1, WKUPx pins must not be configured to act as a debouncing source for the
WKUPDBC counter (WKUPENx must be cleared in SUPC_WUIR).
Low-power tamper detection or debounce requires RTC output (RTCOUTx) to be configured to generate a duty
cycle programmable pulse (i.e., OUT0 = 0x7 in RTC_MR) in order to create the sampling points of both
debouncers. The sampling point is the falling edge of the RTCOUTx waveform.
Figure 18-6 shows an example of an application where two tamper switches are used. RTCOUTx powers the
external pull-up used by the tamper sensor circuitry.

The debouncing period duration is configurable. The period is set for all debouncers (i.e., the duration cannot be
adjusted for each debouncer). The number of successive identical samples to wake up the system can be
configured from 2 up to 8 in the LPDBC field of SUPC_WUMR. The period of time between two samples can be
configured by programming the TPERIOD field in the RTC_MR. Power parameters can be adjusted by modifying
the period of time in the THIGH field in RTC_MR.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
381
The wake-up polarity of the inputs can be independently configured by writing WKUPT0 and/ or WKUPT1 fields in
SUPC_WUMR.
In order to determine which wake-up/tamper pin triggers the system wake-up, a status flag is associated for each
low-power debouncer. These flags are read in SUPC_SR.
A debounce event (tamper detection) can perform an immediate clear (0 delay) on the first half the generalpurpose backup registers (GPBR). The LPDBCCLR bit must be set in SUPC_WUMR.
Note that it is not mandatory to use the RTCOUTx pin when using the WKUP0/WKUP1 pins as tampering inputs in
any mode. Using the RTCOUTx pin provides a “sampling mode” to further reduce the power consumption of the
tamper detection circuitry. If RTCOUTx is not used, the RTC must be configured to create an internal sampling
point for the debouncer logic. The period of time between two samples can be configured by programming the
TPERIOD field in RTC_MR.
Figure 18-8 illustrates the use of WKUPx without the RTCOUTx pin.

Clock Alarms
The RTC and the RTT alarms can generate a wake-up of the core power supply. This can be enabled by setting,
respectively, the bits RTCEN and RTTEN in SUPC_WUMR.
The Supply Controller does not provide any status as the information is available in the user interface of either the
Real-Time Timer or the Real-Time Clock.
18.4.7.5

The supply monitor can generate a wake-up of the core power supply. See Section 18.4.4 ”Supply Monitor”.

General Purpose Backup Registers (GPBR)
19.1
Description
The System Controller embeds 640 bits of General Purpose Backup registers organized as 20 32-bit registers.
It is possible to generate an immediate clear of the content of General Purpose Backup registers 0 to 9 (first half) if
a Low-power Debounce event is detected on one of the wakeup pins, WKUP0 or WKUP1. The content of the other
General Purpose Backup registers (second half) remains unchanged.
The Supply Controller module must be programmed accordingly. In the register SUPC_WUMR in the Supply
Controller module, LPDBCCLR, LPDBCEN0 and/or LPDBCEN1 bit must be configured to 1 and LPDBC must be
other than 0.
If a Tamper event has been detected, it is not possible to write to the General Purpose Backup registers while the
LPDBCS0 or LPDBCS1 flags are not cleared in the Supply Controller Status Register (SUPC_SR).

Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC)
20.1
Description
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC) provides the interface of the Flash block with the 32-bit internal
bus.
Its 128-bit or 64-bit wide memory interface increases performance. It also manages the programming, erasing,
locking and unlocking sequences of the Flash using a full set of commands. One of the commands returns the
embedded Flash descriptor definition that informs the system about the Flash organization, thus making the
software generic.
20.2

Power Management
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC) is continuously clocked. The Power Management Controller
has no effect on its behavior.
20.3.2
Interrupt Sources
The EEFC interrupt line is connected to the interrupt controller. Using the EEFC interrupt requires the interrupt
controller to be programmed first. The EEFC interrupt is generated only if the value of EEFC_FMR.FRDY is ‘1’.

SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
397
One memory plane organized in several pages of the same size for the code
A separate 2 x 512-byte memory area which includes the unique chip identifier
A separate 512-byte memory area for the user signature
Two 128-bit or 64-bit read buffers used for code read optimization
One 128-bit or 64-bit read buffer used for data read optimization
One write buffer that manages page programming. The write buffer size is equal to the page size. This buffer
is write-only and accessible all along the 1 Mbyte address space, so that each word can be written to its final
address.
Several lock bits used to protect write/erase operation on several pages (lock region). A lock bit is
associated with a lock region composed of several pages in the memory plane.
Several bits that may be set and cleared through the EEFC interface, called general-purpose non-volatile
memory bits (GPNVM bits)
The embedded Flash size, the page size, the organization of lock regions and the definition of GPNVM bits are
specific to the device. The EEFC returns a descriptor of the Flash controller after a ‘Get Flash Descriptor’
command has been issued by the application (see Section 20.4.3.1 ”Get Flash Descriptor Command”).

20.4.2
Read Operations
An optimized controller manages embedded Flash reads, thus increasing performance when the processor is
running in Thumb-2 mode by means of the 128- or 64-bit-wide memory interface.
The Flash memory is accessible through 8-, 16- and 32-bit reads.
As the Flash block size is smaller than the address space reserved for the internal memory area, the embedded
Flash wraps around the address space and appears to be repeated within it.
The read operations can be performed with or without wait states. Wait states must be programmed in the field
FWS in the Flash Mode register (EEFC_FMR). Defining FWS as 0 enables the single-cycle access of the
embedded Flash. For more details, refer to the section “Electrical Characteristics” of this datasheet.
20.4.2.1
128- or 64-bit Access Mode
By default, the read accesses of the Flash are performed through a 128-bit wide memory interface. It improves
system performance especially when two or three wait states are needed.
For systems requiring only 1 wait state, or to focus on current consumption rather than performance, the user can
select a 64-bit wide memory access via the bit EEFC_FMR.FAM.
For more details, refer to the section “Electrical Characteristics” of this datasheet.
20.4.2.2
Code Read Optimization
Code read optimization is enabled if the bit EEFC_FMR.SCOD is cleared.
A system of 2 x 128-bit or 2 x 64-bit buffers is added in order to optimize sequential code fetch.
Note:
Immediate consecutive code read accesses are not mandatory to benefit from this optimization.
The sequential code read optimization is enabled by default. If the bit EEFC_FMR.SCOD is set, these buffers are
disabled and the sequential code read is no longer optimized.
Another system of 2 x 128-bit or 2 x 64-bit buffers is added in order to optimize loop code fetch. Refer to
Section 20.4.2.3 ”Code Loop Optimization” for more details.

Note: When FWS is between 1 and 3, in case of sequential reads, the first access takes (FWS + 1) cycles. The following accesses take
only one cycle.
20.4.2.3
Code Loop Optimization
Code loop optimization is enabled when the bit EEFC_FMR.CLOE is set.
When a backward jump is inserted in the code, the pipeline of the sequential optimization is broken and becomes
inefficient. In this case, the loop code read optimization takes over from the sequential code read optimization to
prevent the insertion of wait states. The loop code read optimization is enabled by default. In EEFC_FMR, if the bit
CLOE is reset to 0 or the bit SCOD is set, these buffers are disabled and the loop code read is not optimized.
When code loop optimization is enabled, if inner loop body instructions L0 to Ln are positioned from the 128-bit
Flash memory cell Mb0 to the memory cell Mp1, after recognition of a first backward branch, the first two Flash
memory cells Mb0 and Mb1 targeted by this branch are cached for fast access from the processor at the next loop
iteration.
Then by combining the sequential prefetch (described in Section 20.4.2.2 ”Code Read Optimization”) through the
loop body with the fast read access to the loop entry cache, the entire loop can be iterated with no wait state.
Figure 20-5 illustrates code loop optimization.

20.4.2.4
Data Read Optimization
The organization of the Flash in 128 bits or 64 bits is associated with two 128-bit or 64-bit prefetch buffers and one
128-bit or 64-bit data read buffer, thus providing maximum system performance. This buffer is added in order to
store the requested data plus all the data contained in the 128-bit or 64-bit aligned data. This speeds up sequential
data reads if, for example, FWS is equal to 1 (see Figure 20-6). The data read optimization is enabled by default. If
the bit EEFC_FMR.SCOD is set, this buffer is disabled and the data read is no longer optimized.
Note:

No consecutive data read accesses are mandatory to benefit from this optimization.

In order to execute one of these commands, select the required command using the FCMD field in the Flash
Command register (EEFC_FCR). As soon as EEFC_FCR is written, the FRDY flag and the FVALUE field in the
Flash Result register (EEFC_FRR) are automatically cleared. Once the current command has completed, the
FRDY flag is automatically set. If an interrupt has been enabled by setting the bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the
corresponding interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated. (Note that this is true for all commands except
for the STUI command. The FRDY flag is not set when the STUI command has completed.)
All the commands are protected by the same keyword, which must be written in the eight highest bits of
EEFC_FCR.
Writing EEFC_FCR with data that does not contain the correct key and/or with an invalid command has no effect
on the whole memory plane, but the FCMDE flag is set in the Flash Status register (EEFC_FSR). This flag is
automatically cleared by a read access to EEFC_FSR.
When the current command writes or erases a page in a locked region, the command has no effect on the whole
memory plane, but the FLOCKE flag is set in EEFC_FSR. This flag is automatically cleared by a read access to
EEFC_FSR.

20.4.3.1
Get Flash Descriptor Command
This command provides the system with information on the Flash organization. The system can take full
advantage of this information. For instance, a device could be replaced by one with more Flash capacity, and so
the software is able to adapt itself to the new configuration.
To get the embedded Flash descriptor, the application writes the GETD command in EEFC_FCR. The first word of
the descriptor can be read by the software application in EEFC_FRR as soon as the FRDY flag in EEFC_FSR
rises. The next reads of EEFC_FRR provide the following word of the descriptor. If extra read operations to
EEFC_FRR are done after the last word of the descriptor has been returned, the EEFC_FRR value is 0 until the
next valid command.

20.4.3.2
Write Commands
Several commands are used to program the Flash.
Only 0 values can be programmed using Flash technology; 1 is the erased value. In order to program words in a
page, the page must first be erased. Commands are available to erase the full memory plane or a given number of
pages. With the EWP and EWPL commands, a page erase is done automatically before a page programming.
After programming, the page (the entire lock region) can be locked to prevent miscellaneous write or erase
sequences. The lock bit can be automatically set after page programming using WPL or EWPL commands.
Data to be programmed in the Flash must be written in an internal latch buffer before writing the programming
command in EEFC_FCR. Data can be written at their final destination address, as the latch buffer is mapped into
the Flash memory address space and wraps around within this Flash address space.
Byte and half-word AHB accesses to the latch buffer are not allowed. Only 32-bit word accesses are supported.
32-bit words must be written continuously, in either ascending or descending order. Writing the latch buffer in a
random order is not permitted. This prevents mapping a C-code structure to the latch buffer and accessing the
data of the structure in any order. It is instead recommended to fill in a C-code structure in SRAM and copy it in the
latch buffer in a continuous order.
Write operations in the latch buffer are performed with the number of wait states programmed for reading the
Flash.
The latch buffer is automatically re-initialized, i.e., written with logical ‘1’, after execution of each programming
command. However, after power-up, the latch buffer is not initialized. If only part of the page is to be written with
user data, the remaining part must be erased (written with ‘1’).
The programming sequence is the following:
1. Write the data to be programmed in the latch buffer.
2.
Write the programming command in EEFC_FCR. This automatically clears the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY.
3.
When Flash programming is completed, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt has been enabled by
setting the bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the EEFC is activated.
Three errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after a programming sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Lock Error: The page to be programmed belongs to a locked region. A command must be run previously to
unlock the corresponding region.
Flash Error: When programming is completed, the WriteVerify test of the Flash memory has failed.
Only one page can be programmed at a time. It is possible to program all the bits of a page (full page
programming) or only some of the bits of the page (partial page programming).
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
405
Depending on the number of bits to be programmed within the page, the EEFC adapts the write operations
required to program the Flash.
When a ‘Write Page’ (WP) command is issued, the EEFC starts the programming sequence and all the bits written
at 0 in the latch buffer are cleared in the Flash memory array.
During programming, i.e., until EEFC_FSR.FDRY rises, access to the Flash is not allowed.
Full Page Programming
To program a full page, all the bits of the page must be erased before writing the latch buffer and issuing the WP
command. The latch buffer must be written in ascending order, starting from the first address of the page. See
Figure 20-8 "Full Page Programming".
Partial Page Programming
To program only part of a page using the WP command, the following constraints must be respected:
Data to be programmed must be contained in integer multiples of 64-bit address-aligned
words.
64-bit words can be programmed only if all the corresponding bits in the Flash array are
erased (at logical value ‘1’).
See Figure 20-9 "Partial Page Programming".
Programming Bytes
Individual bytes can be programmed using the Partial page programming mode.
In this case, an area of 64 bits must be reserved for each byte.
Refer to Figure 20-10 "Programming Bytes in the Flash".

20.4.3.3
Erase Commands
Erase commands are allowed only on unlocked regions. Depending on the Flash memory, several commands can
be used to erase the Flash:
Erase All Memory (EA): All memory is erased. The processor must not fetch code from the Flash memory.
Erase Pages (EPA): 8 or 16 pages are erased in the Flash sector selected. The first page to be erased is
specified in the FARG[15:2] field of the EEFC_FCR. The first page number must be a multiple of 8, 16 or 32
depending on the number of pages to erase at the same time.
Erase Sector (ES): A full memory sector is erased. Sector size depends on the Flash memory.
EEFC_FCR.FARG must be set with a page number that is in the sector to be erased.
If the processor is fetching code from the Flash memory while the EPA or ES command is being executed, the
processor accesses are stalled until the EPA command is completed. To avoid stalling the processor, the code can
be run out of internal SRAM.
The erase sequence is the following:
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
409
1. Erase starts as soon as one of the erase commands and the FARG field are written in EEFC_FCR.
̶
For the EPA command, the two lowest bits of the FARG field define the number of pages to be erased
(FARG[1:0]):
Table 20-4.
EEFC_FCR.FARG Field for EPA Command
FARG[1:0]
2.
Number of pages to be erased with EPA command
0
4 pages (only valid for small 8 KB sectors)
1
8 pages
2
16 pages
3
32 pages (not valid for small 8 KB sectors)
When erasing is completed, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt has been enabled by setting the
bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
Three errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after an erasing sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Lock Error: At least one page to be erased belongs to a locked region. The erase command has been
refused, no page has been erased. A command must be run previously to unlock the corresponding region.
Flash Error: At the end of the erase period, the EraseVerify test of the Flash memory has failed.
20.4.3.4
Lock Bit Protection
Lock bits are associated with several pages in the embedded Flash memory plane. This defines lock regions in the
embedded Flash memory plane. They prevent writing/erasing protected pages.
The lock sequence is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Set Lock Bit’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the SLB command and
EEFC_FCR.FARG with a page number to be protected.
2.
When the locking completes, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt has been enabled by setting the
bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
3.
The result of the SLB command can be checked running a ‘Get Lock Bit’ (GLB) command.
Note:
The value of the FARG argument passed together with SLB command must not exceed the higher lock bit index
available in the product.
Two errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after a programming sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Flash Error: At the end of the programming, the EraseVerify or WriteVerify test of the Flash memory has
failed.
It is possible to clear lock bits previously set. After the lock bits are cleared, the locked region can be erased or
programmed. The unlock sequence is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Clear Lock Bit’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the CLB command and
EEFC_FCR.FARG with a page number to be unprotected.
2.
Note:
When the unlock completes, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt has been enabled by setting the
bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
The value of the FARG argument passed together with CLB command must not exceed the higher lock bit index
available in the product.
Two errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after a programming sequence:

Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Flash Error: At the end of the programming, the EraseVerify or WriteVerify test of the Flash memory has
failed.

The status of lock bits can be returned by the EEFC. The ‘Get Lock Bit’ sequence is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Get Lock Bit’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the GLB command. Field
EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
2.
Lock bits can be read by the software application in EEFC_FRR. The first word read corresponds to the 32
first lock bits, next reads providing the next 32 lock bits as long as it is meaningful. Extra reads to
EEFC_FRR return 0.
For example, if the third bit of the first word read in EEFC_FRR is set, the third lock region is locked.
Two errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after a programming sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Flash Error: At the end of the programming, the EraseVerify or WriteVerify test of the Flash memory has
failed.
Note:
20.4.3.5
Access to the Flash in read is permitted when a ‘Set Lock Bit’, ‘Clear Lock Bit’ or ‘Get Lock Bit’ command is executed.
GPNVM Bit
GPNVM bits do not interfere with the embedded Flash memory plane. For more details, refer to the section
“Memories” of this datasheet.
The ‘Set GPNVM Bit’ sequence is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Set GPNVM Bit’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the SGPB command and
EEFC_FCR.FARG with the number of GPNVM bits to be set.
2.
When the GPNVM bit is set, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt was enabled by setting the bit
EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
3.
The result of the SGPB command can be checked by running a ‘Get GPNVM Bit’ (GGPB) command.
Note:
The value of the FARG argument passed together with SGPB command must not exceed the higher GPNVM index
available in the product. Flash data content is not altered if FARG exceeds the limit. Command Error is detected only if
FARG is greater than 8.
Two errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after a programming sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Flash Error: At the end of the programming, the EraseVerify or WriteVerify test of the Flash memory has
failed.
It is possible to clear GPNVM bits previously set. The ‘Clear GPNVM Bit’ sequence is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Clear GPNVM Bit’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the CGPB command and
EEFC_FCR.FARG with the number of GPNVM bits to be cleared.
2.
Note:
When the clear completes, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt has been enabled by setting the bit
EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
The value of the FARG argument passed together with CGPB command must not exceed the higher GPNVM index
available in the product. Flash data content is not altered if FARG exceeds the limit. Command Error is detected only if
FARG is greater than 8.
Two errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after a programming sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Flash Error: At the end of the programming, the EraseVerify or WriteVerify test of the Flash memory has
failed.
The status of GPNVM bits can be returned by the EEFC. The sequence is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Get GPNVM Bit’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the GGPB command. Field
EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
2.
GPNVM bits can be read by the software application in EEFC_FRR. The first word read corresponds to the
32 first GPNVM bits, following reads provide the next 32 GPNVM bits as long as it is meaningful. Extra reads
to EEFC_FRR return 0.

For example, if the third bit of the first word read in EEFC_FRR is set, the third GPNVM bit is active.
One error can be detected in EEFC_FSR after a programming sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Note:
20.4.3.6
Access to the Flash in read is permitted when a ‘Set GPNVM Bit’, ‘Clear GPNVM Bit’ or ‘Get GPNVM Bit’ command is
executed.
Calibration Bit
Calibration bits do not interfere with the embedded Flash memory plane.
The calibration bits cannot be modified.
The status of calibration bits are returned by the EEFC. The sequence is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Get CALIB Bit’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the GCALB command. Field
EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
2.
Calibration bits can be read by the software application in EEFC_FRR. The first word read corresponds to
the first 32 calibration bits. The following reads provide the next 32 calibration bits as long as it is meaningful.
Extra reads to EEFC_FRR return 0.
The 8/12 MHz internal RC oscillator is calibrated in production. This calibration can be read through the GCALB
command. Table 20-5 shows the bit implementation.
The RC calibration for the 4 MHz is set to ‘1000000’.

20.4.3.7
Security Bit Protection
When the security bit is enabled, access to the Flash through the SWD interface or through the Fast Flash
Programming interface is forbidden. This ensures the confidentiality of the code programmed in the Flash.
The security bit is GPNVM0.
Disabling the security bit can only be achieved by asserting the ERASE pin at ‘1’, and after a full Flash erase is
performed. When the security bit is deactivated, all accesses to the Flash are permitted.
20.4.3.8
Unique Identifier Area
Each device is programmed with a 128-bit unique identifier area . See Figure 20-1 "Flash Memory Areas".
The sequence to read the unique identifier area is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Start Read Unique Identifier’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the STUI command. Field EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
2.
Wait until the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY falls to read the unique identifier area. The unique identifier field is
located in the first 128 bits of the Flash memory mapping. The ‘Start Read Unique Identifier’ command
reuses some addresses of the memory plane for code, but the unique identifier area is physically different
from the memory plane for code.
3.
To stop reading the unique identifier area, execute the ‘Stop Read Unique Identifier’ command by writing
EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the SPUI command. Field EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
4.
When the SPUI command has been executed, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt was enabled
by setting the bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
Note that during the sequence, the software cannot be fetched from the Flash.

20.4.3.9
User Signature Area
Each product contains a user signature area of 512-bytes. It can be used for storage. Read, write and erase of this
area is allowed.
See Figure 20-1 "Flash Memory Areas".
The sequence to read the user signature area is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Start Read User Signature’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the STUS command. Field EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
2.
Wait until the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY falls to read the user signature area. The user signature area is located
in the first 512 bytes of the Flash memory mapping. The ‘Start Read User Signature’ command reuses some
addresses of the memory plane but the user signature area is physically different from the memory plane
3.
To stop reading the user signature area, execute the ‘Stop Read User Signature’ command by writing
EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the SPUS command. Field EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
4.
When the SPUI command has been executed, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt was enabled
by setting the bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
Note that during the sequence, the software cannot be fetched from the Flash or from the second plane in case of
dual plane.
One error can be detected in EEFC_FSR after this sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
The sequence to write the user signature area is the following:
1. Write the full page, at any page address, within the internal memory area address space.
2.
Execute the ‘Write User Signature’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the WUS command. Field
EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
3.
When programming is completed, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt has been enabled by
setting the bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the corresponding interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
Two errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after this sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Flash Error: At the end of the programming, the WriteVerify test of the Flash memory has failed.
The sequence to erase the user signature area is the following:
1. Execute the ‘Erase User Signature’ command by writing EEFC_FCR.FCMD with the EUS command.
Field EEFC_FCR.FARG is meaningless.
2.
When programming is completed, the bit EEFC_FSR.FRDY rises. If an interrupt has been enabled by
setting the bit EEFC_FMR.FRDY, the corresponding interrupt line of the interrupt controller is activated.
Two errors can be detected in EEFC_FSR after this sequence:
Command Error: A bad keyword has been written in EEFC_FCR.
Flash Error: At the end of the programming, the EraseVerify test of the Flash memory has failed.

Programmer Handshaking
A handshake is defined for read and write operations. When the device is ready to start a new operation (RDY
signal set), the programmer starts the handshake by clearing the NCMD signal. The handshaking is completed
once the NCMD signal is high and RDY is high.

Device Operations
Several commands on the Flash memory are available. These commands are summarized in Table 21-3. Each
command is driven by the programmer through the parallel interface running several read/write handshaking
sequences.
When a new command is executed, the previous one is automatically achieved. Thus, chaining a read command
after a write automatically flushes the load buffer in the Flash.

Flash Read Command
This command is used to read the contents of the Flash memory. The read command can start at any valid
address in the memory plane and is optimized for consecutive reads. Read handshaking can be chained; an
internal address buffer is automatically increased.

Flash Write Command
This command is used to write the Flash contents.
The Flash memory plane is organized into several pages. Data to be written are stored in a load buffer that
corresponds to a Flash memory page. The load buffer is automatically flushed to the Flash:
before access to any page other than the current one
when a new command is validated (MODE = CMDE)
The Write Page command (WP) is optimized for consecutive writes. Write handshaking can be chained; an
internal address buffer is automatically increased.

The Flash command Write Page and Lock (WPL) is equivalent to the Flash Write Command. However, the lock
bit is automatically set at the end of the Flash write operation. As a lock region is composed of several pages, the
programmer writes to the first pages of the lock region using Flash write commands and writes to the last page of
the lock region using a Flash write and lock command.
The Flash command Erase Page and Write (EWP) is equivalent to the Flash Write Command. However, before
programming the load buffer, the page is erased.
The Flash command Erase Page and Write the Lock (EWPL) combines EWP and WPL commands.
21.3.5.3
Flash Full Erase Command
This command is used to erase the Flash memory planes.
All lock regions must be unlocked before the Full Erase command by using the CLB command. Otherwise, the
erase command is aborted and no page is erased.

Flash Lock Commands
Lock bits can be set using WPL or EWPL commands. They can also be set by using the Set Lock command

command. When bit 0 of the bit mask is set, then the first lock bit is activated.
In the same way, the Clear Lock command (CLB) is used to clear lock bits.

To erase the Flash, perform the following steps:
1. Power-off the chip.
2.
Power-on the chip with TST = 0.
3.
Assert the ERASE pin for at least the ERASE pin assertion time as defined in the section “Electrical
Characteristics”.
4.
Power-off the chip.
Return to FFPI mode to check that the Flash is erased.

Functional Description
22.4.1
Cache Operation
On reset, the cache controller data entries are all invalidated and the cache is disabled. The cache is transparent
to processor operations. The cache controller is activated with its configuration registers. The configuration
interface is memory-mapped in the private peripheral bus.
Use the following sequence to enable the cache controller:
1. Verify that the cache controller is disabled by reading the value of the CSTS (Cache Controller Status) bit
of the Status register (CMCC_SR).
2.
22.4.2
Enable the cache controller by writing a one to the CEN (Cache Enable) bit of the Control register
(CMCC_CTRL).
Cache Maintenance
If the contents seen by the cache have changed, the user must invalidate the cache entries. This can be done lineby-line or for all cache entries.
22.4.2.1
Cache Invalidate-by-Line Operation
When an invalidate-by-line command is issued, the cache controller resets the valid bit information of the decoded
cache line. As the line is no longer valid, the replacement counter points to that line.
Use the following sequence to invalidate one line of cache:
1. Disable the cache controller by clearing the CEN bit of CMCC_CTRL.
2.
Check the CSTS bit of CMCC_SR to verify that the cache is successfully disabled.
3.
Perform an invalidate-by-line by configuring the bits INDEX and WAY in the Maintenance Register 1
(CMCC_MAINT1).
4.
Enable the cache controller by writing a one the CEN bit of the CMCC_CTRL.
22.4.2.2
Cache Invalidate All Operation
To invalidate all cache entries, write a one to the INVALL bit of the Maintenance Register 0 (CMCC_MAINT0).
22.4.3
Cache Performance Monitoring
The Cortex-M cache controller includes a programmable 32-bit monitor counter. The monitor can be configured to
count the number of clock cycles, the number of data hits or the number of instruction hits.
Use the following sequence to activate the counter:
1. Configure the monitor counter by writing to the MODE field of the Monitor Configuration register
(CMCC_MCFG).
430
2.
Enable the counter by writing a one to the MENABLE bit of the Monitor Enable register (CMCC_MEN).
3.
If required, clear the counter by writing a one to the SWRST bit of the Monitor Control register
(CMCC_MCTRL).
4.
Check the value of the monitor counter by reading the EVENT_CNT field of the CMCC_MSR.

The SAM-BA Boot program seeks to detect a source clock either from the embedded main oscillator with external
crystal (main oscillator enabled) or from a supported frequency signal applied to the XIN pin (Main oscillator in
bypass mode).
If a clock is found from the two possible sources above, the boot program checks to verify that the frequency is one
of the supported external frequencies. If the frequency is one of the supported external frequencies, USB
activation is allowed, else (no clock or frequency other than one of the supported external frequencies), the internal
12 MHz RC oscillator is used as main clock and USB clock is not allowed due to frequency drift of the 12 MHz RC
oscillator.

23.6.1
UART0 Serial Port
Communication is performed through the UART0 initialized to 115200 Baud, 8, n, 1.
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 to work. See Section 23.3 ”Hardware and Software
Constraints”.
23.6.2
Xmodem Protocol
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 23-2 shows a transmission using this protocol.

23.6.3
USB Device Port
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 a way to implement devices such as
ISDN modems and virtual COM ports.
The Vendor ID (VID) is Atmel’s vendor ID 0x03EB. The product ID (PID) 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.
446
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
For more details about VID/PID for End Product/Systems, please refer to the Vendor ID form available from the
USB Implementers Forum on www.usb.org.
Atmel provides an INF example to see the device as a new serial port and also provides another custom driver
used by the SAM-BA application: atm6124.sys. Refer to the application note “USB Basic Application”, Atmel
literature number 6123, for more details.
23.6.3.1
Enumeration Process
The USB protocol is a master/slave protocol. This is the host that starts the enumeration sending requests to the
device through the control endpoint. The device handles standard requests as defined in the USB Specification.
Table 23-3.

SET_CONTROL_LINE_STATE
RS-232 signal used to tell the DCE device the DTE device is now present.
Unhandled requests are STALLed.
23.6.3.2
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.

23.6.4
In Application Programming (IAP) Feature
The IAP feature is a function located in ROM that can be called by any software application.
When called, this function sends the desired FLASH command to the EEFC and waits for the Flash to be ready
(looping while the FRDY bit is not set in the EEFC_FSR).
Since this function is executed from ROM, this allows Flash programming (such as sector write) to be done by
code running in Flash.
The IAP function entry point is retrieved by reading the NMI vector in ROM (0x00800008).
This function takes one argument in parameter: the command to be sent to the EEFC.
This function returns the value of the EEFC_FSR.
IAP software code example:
(unsigned int) (*IAP_Function)(unsigned long);
void main (void){
unsigned
unsigned
unsigned
unsigned
long
long
long
long
FlashSectorNum = 200; //
flash_cmd = 0;
flash_status = 0;
EFCIndex = 0; // 0:EEFC0, 1: EEFC1
/* Initialize the function pointer (retrieve function address from NMI vector)
*/
IAP_Function = ((unsigned long) (*)(unsigned long))
0x00800008;
/* Send your data to the sector here */
/* build the command to send to EEFC */
flash_cmd =
(0x5A BRP = (tCSC x fperipheral clock) - 1 = 5
The propagation segment time is equal to twice the sum of the signal’s propagation time on the bus line, the
receiver delay and the output driver delay:
tPRS = 2 * (50+30+110) ns = 380 ns = 3 tCSC
=> PROPAG = tPRS/tCSC - 1 = 2
The remaining time for the two phase segments is:
tPHS1 + tPHS2 = bit time - tCSC - tPRS = (16 - 1 - 3)tCSC
tPHS1 + tPHS2 = 12 tCSC
Because this number is even, we choose tPHS2 = tPHS1 (else we would choose tPHS2 = tPHS1 + tCSC).
tPHS1 = tPHS2 = (12/2) tCSC = 6 tCSC
=> PHASE1 = PHASE2 = tPHS1/tCSC - 1 = 5
The resynchronization jump width must comprise between one tCSC and the minimum of four tCSC and tPHS1.
We choose its maximum value:
tSJW = Min(4 tCSC,tPHS1) = 4 tCSC
=> SJW = tSJW/tCSC - 1 = 3
Finally: CAN_BR = 0x00053255
CAN Bus Synchronization
Two types of synchronization are distinguished: “hard synchronization” at the start of a frame and
“resynchronization” inside a frame. After a hard synchronization, the bit time is restarted with the end of the
SYNC_SEG segment, regardless of the phase error. Resynchronization causes a reduction or increase in the bit
time so that the position of the sample point is shifted with respect to the detected edge.
The effect of resynchronization is the same as that of hard synchronization when the magnitude of the phase error
of the edge causing the resynchronization is less than or equal to the programmed value of the resynchronization
jump width (tSJW).
When the magnitude of the phase error is larger than the resynchronization jump width and
652
the phase error is positive, then PHASE_SEG1 is lengthened by an amount equal to the resynchronization
jump width.

the phase error is negative, then PHASE_SEG2 is shortened by an amount equal to the resynchronization
jump width.

Autobaud Mode
The autobaud feature is enabled by setting the ABM field in the CAN_MR. In this mode, the CAN controller is only
listening to the line without acknowledging the received messages. It can not send any message. The errors flags
are updated. The bit timing can be adjusted until no error occurs (good configuration found). In this mode, the error
counters are frozen. To go back to the standard mode, the ABM bit must be cleared in the CAN_MR.
31.7.4.2
Error Detection
There are five different error types that are not mutually exclusive. Each error concerns only specific fields of the
CAN data frame (refer to the Bosch CAN specification for their correspondence):
CRC error (CERR bit in the CAN_SR): With the CRC, the transmitter calculates a checksum for the CRC bit
sequence from the Start of Frame bit until the end of the Data Field. This CRC sequence is transmitted in the
CRC field of the Data or Remote Frame.
Bit-stuffing error (SERR bit in the CAN_SR): If a node detects a sixth consecutive equal bit level during the
bit-stuffing area of a frame, it generates an Error Frame starting with the next bit-time.
Bit error (BERR bit in CAN_SR): A bit error occurs if a transmitter sends a dominant bit but detects a
recessive bit on the bus line, or if it sends a recessive bit but detects a dominant bit on the bus line. An error
frame is generated and starts with the next bit time.
Form Error (FERR bit in the CAN_SR): If a transmitter detects a dominant bit in one of the fix-formatted
segments CRC Delimiter, ACK Delimiter or End of Frame, a form error has occurred and an error frame is
generated.
Acknowledgment error (AERR bit in the CAN_SR): The transmitter checks the Acknowledge Slot, which is
transmitted by the transmitting node as a recessive bit, contains a dominant bit. If this is the case, at least
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
653
one other node has received the frame correctly. If not, an Acknowledge Error has occurred and the
transmitter will start in the next bit-time an Error Frame transmission.
Fault Confinement
To distinguish between temporary and permanent failures, every CAN controller has two error counters: REC
(Receive Error Counter) and TEC (Transmit Error Counter). The two counters are incremented upon detected
errors and are decremented upon correct transmissions or receptions, respectively. Depending on the counter
values, the state of the node changes: the initial state of the CAN controller is Error Active, meaning that the
controller can send Error Active flags. The controller changes to the Error Passive state if there is an accumulation
of errors. If the CAN controller fails or if there is an extreme accumulation of errors, there is a state transition to Bus
Off.
Figure 31-7.

An error active unit takes part in bus communication and sends an active error frame when the CAN controller
detects an error.
An error passive unit cannot send an active error frame. It takes part in bus communication, but when an error is
detected, a passive error frame is sent. Also, after a transmission, an error passive unit waits before initiating
further transmission.
A bus off unit is not allowed to have any influence on the bus.
For fault confinement, two errors counters (TEC and REC) are implemented. These counters are accessible via
the CAN_ECR. The state of the CAN controller is automatically updated according to these counter values. If the
CAN controller enters Error Active state, then the ERRA bit is set in the CAN_SR. The corresponding interrupt is
pending while the interrupt is not masked in the CAN_IMR. If the CAN controller enters Error Passive Mode, then
the ERRP bit is set in the CAN_SR and an interrupt remains pending while the ERRP bit is set in the CAN_IMR. If
the CAN enters Bus Off Mode, then the BOFF bit is set in the CAN_SR. As for ERRP and ERRA, an interrupt is
pending while the BOFF bit is set in the CAN_IMR.
When one of the error counters values exceeds 96, an increased error rate is indicated to the controller through
the WARN bit in CAN_SR, but the node remains error active. The corresponding interrupt is pending while the
interrupt is set in the CAN_IMR.
Refer to the Bosch CAN specification v2.0 for details on fault confinement.
Error Interrupt Handler
ERRA, WARN, ERRP and BOFF (CAN_SR) store the key transitions of the CAN bus status as defined in Figure
31-7 on page 654. The transitions depend on the TEC and REC (CAN_ECR) values as described in Section
“Fault Confinement” on page 654.
These flags are latched to keep from triggering a spurious interrupt in case these bits are used as the source of an
interrupt. Thus, these flags may not reflect the current status of the CAN bus.
654
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
The current CAN bus state can be determined by reading the TEC and REC fields of CAN_ECR.
31.7.4.3
Overload
The overload frame is provided to request a delay of the next data or remote frame by the receiver node (“Request
overload frame”) or to signal certain error conditions (“Reactive overload frame”) related to the intermission field
respectively.
Reactive overload frames are transmitted after detection of the following error conditions:
Detection of a dominant bit during the first two bits of the intermission field
Detection of a dominant bit in the last bit of EOF by a receiver, or detection of a dominant bit by a receiver or
a transmitter at the last bit of an error or overload frame delimiter
The CAN controller can generate a request overload frame automatically after each message sent to one of the
CAN controller mailboxes. This feature is enabled by setting the OVL bit in the CAN_MR.
Reactive overload frames are automatically handled by the CAN controller even if the OVL bit in the CAN_MR is
not set. An overload flag is generated in the same way as an error flag, but error counters do not increment.
31.7.5
Low-power Mode
In Low-power mode, the CAN controller cannot send or receive messages. All mailboxes are inactive.
In Low-power mode, the SLEEP signal in the CAN_SR is set; otherwise, the WAKEUP signal in the CAN_SR is
set. These two bits are exclusive except after a CAN controller reset (WAKEUP and SLEEP are stuck at 0 after a
reset). After power-up reset, the Low-power mode is disabled and the WAKEUP bit is set in the CAN_SR only after
detection of 11 consecutive recessive bits on the bus.
31.7.5.1
Enabling Low-power Mode
A software application can enable Low-power mode by setting the LPM bit in the CAN_MR global register. The
CAN controller enters Low-power mode once all pending transmit messages are sent.
When the CAN controller enters Low-power mode, the SLEEP signal in the CAN_SR is set. Depending on the
corresponding mask in the CAN_IMR, an interrupt is generated while SLEEP is set.
The SLEEP signal in the CAN_SR is automatically cleared once WAKEUP is set. The WAKEUP signal is
automatically cleared once SLEEP is set.
Reception is disabled while the SLEEP signal is set to one in the CAN_SR. It is important to note that those
messages with higher priority than the last message transmitted can be received between the LPM command and
entry in Low-power mode.
Once in Low-power mode, the CAN controller clock can be switched off by programming the chip’s Power
Management Controller (PMC). The CAN controller drains only the static current.
Error counters are disabled while the SLEEP signal is set to one.
Thus, to enter Low-power mode, the software application must:
̶
Set LPM field in the CAN_MR
̶
Wait for SLEEP signal rising
Now the CAN Controller clock can be disabled. This is done by programming the Power Management Controller
(PMC).

Disabling Low-power Mode
The CAN controller can be awake after detecting a CAN bus activity. Bus activity detection is done by an external
module that may be embedded in the chip. When it is notified of a CAN bus activity, the software application
disables Low-power mode by programming the CAN controller.
To disable Low-power mode, the software application must:
̶
Enable the CAN Controller clock. This is done by programming the Power Management Controller
(PMC).
̶
Clear the LPM field in the CAN_MR
The CAN controller synchronizes itself with the bus activity by checking for eleven consecutive “recessive” bits.
Once synchronized, the WAKEUP signal in the CAN_SR is set.
Depending on the corresponding mask in the CAN_IMR, an interrupt is generated while WAKEUP is set. The
SLEEP signal in the CAN_SR is automatically cleared once WAKEUP is set. WAKEUP signal is automatically
cleared once SLEEP is set.
If no message is being sent on the bus, then the CAN controller is able to send a message eleven bit times after
disabling Low-power mode.
If there is bus activity when Low-power mode is disabled, the CAN controller is synchronized with the bus activity
in the next interframe. The previous message is lost (see Figure 31-9).

Functional Description
CAN Controller Initialization
After power-up reset, the CAN controller is disabled. The CAN controller clock must be activated by the Power
Management Controller (PMC) and the CAN controller interrupt line must be enabled by the interrupt controller.
The CAN controller must be initialized with the CAN network parameters. The CAN_BR defines the sampling point
in the bit time period. CAN_BR must be set before the CAN controller is enabled.
The CAN controller is enabled by setting the CANEN bit in the CAN_MR. At this stage, the internal CAN controller
state machine is reset, error counters are reset to 0, and error flags are reset to 0.
Once the CAN controller is enabled, bus synchronization is done automatically by scanning eleven recessive bits.
The WAKEUP bit in the CAN_SR is automatically set to 1 when the CAN controller is synchronized (WAKEUP and
SLEEP are stuck at 0 after a reset).
The CAN controller can start listening to the network in Autobaud Mode. In this case, the error counters are locked
and a mailbox may be configured in Receive Mode. By scanning error flags, the CAN_BR values synchronized
with the network. Once no error has been detected, the application disables the Autobaud Mode, clearing the ABM
bit in the CAN_MR.

CAN Controller Interrupt Handling
There are two different types of interrupts. One type of interrupt is a message-object related interrupt, the other is
a system interrupt that handles errors or system-related interrupt sources.
658
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
All interrupt sources can be masked by writing the corresponding field in the CAN_IDR. They can be unmasked by
writing to the CAN_IER. After a power-up reset, all interrupt sources are disabled (masked). The current mask
status can be checked by reading the CAN_IMR.
The CAN_SR gives all interrupt source states.
The following events may initiate one of the two interrupts:
Message object interrupt
̶
̶
Data registers in the mailbox object are available to the application. In Receive Mode, a new message
was received. In Transmit Mode, a message was transmitted successfully.
A sent transmission was aborted.
System interrupts
̶
Bus off interrupt: The CAN module enters the bus off state.
̶
Error passive interrupt: The CAN module enters Error Passive Mode.
̶
Error Active Mode: The CAN module is neither in Error Passive Mode nor in Bus Off mode.
̶
Warn Limit interrupt: The CAN module is in Error-active Mode, but at least one of its error counter
value exceeds 96.
̶
Wake-up interrupt: This interrupt is generated after a wake-up and a bus synchronization.
̶
Sleep interrupt: This interrupt is generated after a Low-power mode enable once all pending
messages in transmission have been sent.
̶
Internal timer counter overflow interrupt: This interrupt is generated when the internal timer rolls over.
̶
Timestamp interrupt: This interrupt is generated after the reception or the transmission of a start of
frame or an end of frame. The value of the internal counter is copied in the CAN_TIMESTP register.
All interrupts are cleared by clearing the interrupt source except for the internal timer counter overflow interrupt and
the timestamp interrupt. These interrupts are cleared by reading the CAN_SR.
31.8.3
CAN Controller Message Handling
31.8.3.1
Receive Handling
Two modes are available to configure a mailbox to receive messages. In Receive Mode, the first message
received is stored in the mailbox data register. In Receive with Overwrite Mode, the last message received is
stored in the mailbox.
Simple Receive Mailbox
A mailbox is in Receive Mode once the MOT field in the CAN_MMRx has been configured. Message ID and
Message Acceptance Mask must be set before the Receive Mode is enabled.
After Receive Mode is enabled, the MRDY flag in the CAN_MSR is automatically cleared until the first message is
received. When the first message has been accepted by the mailbox, the MRDY flag is set. An interrupt is pending
for the mailbox while the MRDY flag is set. This interrupt can be masked depending on the mailbox flag in the
CAN_IMR global register.
Message data are stored in the mailbox data register until the software application notifies that data processing
has ended. This is done by asking for a new transfer command, setting the MTCR flag in the CAN_MCRx. This
automatically clears the MRDY signal.
The MMI flag in the CAN_MSRx notifies the software that a message has been lost by the mailbox. This flag is set
when messages are received while MRDY is set in the CAN_MSRx. This flag is cleared by reading the
CAN_MSRs register. A receive mailbox prevents from overwriting the first message by new ones while MRDY flag
is set in the CAN_MSRx. See Figure 31-11.

Receive with Overwrite Mailbox
A mailbox is in Receive with Overwrite Mode once the MOT field in the CAN_MMRx has been configured.
Message ID and Message Acceptance masks must be set before Receive Mode is enabled.
After Receive Mode is enabled, the MRDY flag in the CAN_MSR is automatically cleared until the first message is
received. When the first message has been accepted by the mailbox, the MRDY flag is set. An interrupt is pending
for the mailbox while the MRDY flag is set. This interrupt is masked depending on the mailbox flag in the CAN_IMR
global register.
If a new message is received while the MRDY flag is set, this new message is stored in the mailbox data register,
overwriting the previous message. The MMI flag in the CAN_MSRx notifies the software that a message has been
dropped by the mailbox. This flag is cleared when reading the CAN_MSRx.
The CAN controller may store a new message in the CAN data registers while the application reads them. To
check that CAN_MDHx and CAN_MDLx do not belong to different messages, the application must check the MMI
bit in the CAN_MSRx before and after reading CAN_MDHx and CAN_MDLx. If the MMI flag is set again after the
data registers have been read, the software application has to re-read CAN_MDHx and CAN_MDLx (see Figure
31-12).

Chaining Mailboxes
Several mailboxes may be used to receive a buffer split into several messages with the same ID. In this case, the
mailbox with the lowest number is serviced first. In the receive and receive with overwrite modes, the field PRIOR
in the CAN_MMRx has no effect. If Mailbox 0 and Mailbox 5 accept messages with the same ID, the first message
is received by Mailbox 0 and the second message is received by Mailbox 5. Mailbox 0 must be configured in
Receive Mode (i.e., the first message received is considered) and Mailbox 5 must be configured in Receive with
Overwrite Mode. Mailbox 0 cannot be configured in Receive with Overwrite Mode; otherwise, all messages are
accepted by this mailbox and Mailbox 5 is never serviced.
If several mailboxes are chained to receive a buffer split into several messages, all mailboxes except the last one
(with the highest number) must be configured in Receive Mode. The first message received is handled by the first
mailbox, the second one is refused by the first mailbox and accepted by the second mailbox, the last message is
accepted by the last mailbox and refused by previous ones (see Figure 31-13).

31.8.3.2
Transmission Handling
A mailbox is in Transmit Mode once the MOT field in the CAN_MMRx has been configured. Message ID and
Message Acceptance mask must be set before Receive Mode is enabled.
After Transmit Mode is enabled, the MRDY flag in the CAN_MSR is automatically set until the first command is
sent. When the MRDY flag is set, the software application can prepare a message to be sent by writing to the
CAN_MDx registers. The message is sent once the software asks for a transfer command setting the MTCR bit
and the message data length in the CAN_MCRx.
The MRDY flag remains at zero as long as the message has not been sent or aborted. It is important to note that
no access to the mailbox data register is allowed while the MRDY flag is cleared. An interrupt is pending for the
mailbox while the MRDY flag is set. This interrupt can be masked depending on the mailbox flag in the CAN_IMR
global register.
It is also possible to send a remote frame setting the MRTR bit instead of setting the MDLC field. The answer to
the remote frame is handled by another reception mailbox. In this case, the device acts as a consumer but with the
help of two mailboxes. It is possible to handle the remote frame emission and the answer reception using only one
mailbox configured in Consumer Mode. Refer to the section “Remote Frame Handling” on page 664.
Several messages can try to win the bus arbitration in the same time. The message with the highest priority is sent
first. Several transfer request commands can be generated at the same time by setting MBx bits in the CAN_TCR.
The priority is set in the PRIOR field of the CAN_MMRx. Priority 0 is the highest priority, priority 15 is the lowest
priority. Thus it is possible to use a part of the message ID to set the PRIOR field. If two mailboxes have the same
priority, the message of the mailbox with the lowest number is sent first. Thus if mailbox 0 and mailbox 5 have the
same priority and have a message to send at the same time, then the message of the mailbox 0 is sent first.
Setting the MACR bit in the CAN_MCRx aborts the transmission. Transmission for several mailboxes can be
aborted by writing MBx fields in the CAN_ACR. If the message is being sent when the abort command is set, then
the application is notified by the MRDY bit set and not the MABT in the CAN_MSRx. Otherwise, if the message
has not been sent, then the MRDY and the MABT are set in the CAN_MSR.
When the bus arbitration is lost by a mailbox message, the CAN controller tries to win the next bus arbitration with
the same message if this one still has the highest priority. Messages to be sent are re-tried automatically until they
win the bus arbitration. This feature can be disabled by setting the bit DRPT in the CAN_MR. In this case if the
message was not sent the first time it was transmitted to the CAN transceiver, it is automatically aborted. The
MABT flag is set in the CAN_MSRx until the next transfer command.
Figure 31-15 shows three MBx message attempts being made (MRDY of MBx set to 0).
The first MBx message is sent, the second is aborted and the last one is trying to be aborted but too late because
it has already been transmitted to the CAN transceiver.

Remote Frame Handling
Producer/consumer model is an efficient means of handling broadcasted messages. The push model allows a
producer to broadcast messages; the pull model allows a customer to ask for messages.

Confirmation(s)
In Pull Mode, a consumer transmits a remote frame to the producer. When the producer receives a remote frame,
it sends the answer accepted by one or many consumers. Using transmit and receive mailboxes, a consumer must
dedicate two mailboxes, one in Transmit Mode to send remote frames, and at least one in Receive Mode to
capture the producer’s answer. The same structure is applicable to a producer: one reception mailbox is required
to get the remote frame and one transmit mailbox to answer.
Mailboxes can be configured in Producer or Consumer Mode. A lonely mailbox can handle the remote frame and
the answer. With 8 mailboxes, the CAN controller can handle 8 independent producers/consumers.

SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
Producer Configuration
A mailbox is in Producer Mode once the MOT field in the CAN_MMRx has been configured. Message ID and
Message Acceptance masks must be set before Receive Mode is enabled.
After Producer Mode is enabled, the MRDY flag in the CAN_MSR is automatically set until the first transfer
command. The software application prepares data to be sent by writing to the CAN_MDHx and the CAN_MDLx
registers, then by setting the MTCR bit in the CAN_MCRx. Data is sent after the reception of a remote frame as
soon as it wins the bus arbitration.
The MRDY flag remains at zero as long as the message has not been sent or aborted. No access to the mailbox
data register can be done while MRDY flag is cleared. An interrupt is pending for the mailbox while the MRDY flag
is set. This interrupt can be masked according to the mailbox flag in the CAN_IMR global register.
If a remote frame is received while no data are ready to be sent (signal MRDY set in the CAN_MSRx), then the
MMI signal is set in the CAN_MSRx. This bit is cleared by reading the CAN_MSRx.
The MRTR field in the CAN_MSRx has no meaning. This field is used only when using Receive and Receive with
Overwrite modes.
After a remote frame has been received, the mailbox functions like a transmit mailbox. The message with the
highest priority is sent first. The transmitted message may be aborted by setting the MACR bit in the CAN_MCR.
Please refer to the section “Transmission Handling” on page 663.

Consumer Configuration
A mailbox is in Consumer Mode once the MOT field in the CAN_MMRx has been configured. Message ID and
Message Acceptance masks must be set before Receive Mode is enabled.
After Consumer Mode is enabled, the MRDY flag in the CAN_MSR is automatically cleared until the first transfer
request command. The software application sends a remote frame by setting the MTCR bit in the CAN_MCRx or
the MBx bit in the global CAN_TCR. The application is notified of the answer by the MRDY flag set in the
CAN_MSRx. The application can read the data contents in the CAN_MDHx and CAN_MDLx registers. An interrupt
is pending for the mailbox while the MRDY flag is set. This interrupt can be masked according to the mailbox flag
in the CAN_IMR global register.
The MRTR bit in the CAN_MCRx has no effect. This field is used only when using Transmit Mode.
After a remote frame has been sent, the consumer mailbox functions as a reception mailbox. The first message
received is stored in the mailbox data registers. If other messages intended for this mailbox have been sent while
the MRDY flag is set in the CAN_MSRx, they will be lost. The application is notified by reading the MMI bit in the
CAN_MSRx. The read operation automatically clears the MMI flag.
If several messages are answered by the Producer, the CAN controller may have one mailbox in consumer
configuration, zero or several mailboxes in Receive Mode and one mailbox in Receive with Overwrite Mode. In this

case, the consumer mailbox must have a lower number than the Receive with Overwrite mailbox. The transfer
command can be triggered for all mailboxes at the same time by setting several MBx fields in the CAN_TCR.

CAN Controller Timing Modes
Using the free running 16-bit internal timer, the CAN controller can be set in one of the two following timing modes:
Timestamping Mode: The value of the internal timer is captured at each Start Of Frame or each End Of
Frame.
Time Triggered Mode: The mailbox transfer operation is triggered when the internal timer reaches the
mailbox trigger.
Timestamping Mode is enabled by clearing the TTM bit in the CAN_MR. Time Triggered Mode is enabled by
setting the TTM bit in the CAN_MR.
31.8.4.1
Timestamping Mode
Each mailbox has its own timestamp value. Each time a message is sent or received by a mailbox, the 16-bit value
MTIMESTAMP of the CAN_TIMESTP register is transferred to the LSB bits of the CAN_MSRx. The value read in
the CAN_MSRx corresponds to the internal timer value at the Start Of Frame or the End Of Frame of the message
handled by the mailbox.

31.8.4.2
Time Triggered Mode
In Time Triggered Mode, basic cycles can be split into several time windows. A basic cycle starts with a reference
message. Each time a window is defined from the reference message, a transmit operation should occur within a
pre-defined time window. A mailbox must not win the arbitration in a previous time window, and it must not be
retried if the arbitration is lost in the time window.
Figure 31-20. Time Triggered Principle
Time Cycle
Reference

Reference
Message
Time Windows for Messages
Global Time
Time Trigger Mode is enabled by setting the TTM field in the CAN_MR. In Time Triggered Mode, as in Timestamp
Mode, the CAN_TIMESTP field captures the values of the internal counter, but the MTIMESTAMP fields in the
CAN_MSRx registers are not active and are read at 0.
Synchronization by a Reference Message
In Time Triggered Mode, the internal timer counter is automatically reset when a new message is received in the
last mailbox. This reset occurs after the reception of the End Of Frame on the rising edge of the MRDY signal in
the CAN_MSRx. This allows synchronization of the internal timer counter with the reception of a reference
message and the start a new time window.
Transmitting within a Time Window
A time mark is defined for each mailbox. It is defined in the 16-bit MTIMEMARK field of the CAN_MMRx. At each
internal timer clock cycle, the value of the CAN_TIM is compared with each mailbox time mark. When the internal
timer counter reaches the MTIMEMARK value, an internal timer event for the mailbox is generated for the mailbox.
In Time Triggered Mode, transmit operations are delayed until the internal timer event for the mailbox. The
application prepares a message to be sent by setting the MTCR in the CAN_MCRx. The message is not sent until
the CAN_TIM value is less than the MTIMEMARK value defined in the CAN_MMRx.
If the transmit operation is failed, i.e., the message loses the bus arbitration and the next transmit attempt is
delayed until the next internal time trigger event. This prevents overlapping the next time window, but the message
is still pending and is retried in the next time window when CAN_TIM value equals the MTIMEMARK value. It is
also possible to prevent a retry by setting the DRPT field in the CAN_MR.
Freezing the Internal Timer Counter
The internal counter can be frozen by setting TIMFRZ in the CAN_MR. This prevents an unexpected roll-over
when the counter reaches FFFFh. When this occurs, it automatically freezes until a new reset is issued, either due
to a message received in the last mailbox or any other reset counter operations. The TOVF bit in the CAN_SR is
set when the counter is frozen. The TOVF bit in the CAN_SR is cleared by reading the CAN_SR. Depending on
the corresponding interrupt mask in the CAN_IMR, an interrupt is generated when TOVF is set.

Register Write Protection
To prevent any single software error that may corrupt CAN behavior, the registers listed below can be writeprotected by setting the WPEN bit in the CAN Write Protection Mode Register (CAN_WPMR).
If a write access in a write-protected register is detected, then the WPVS flag in the CAN Write Protection Status
Register (CAN_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 CAN_WPSR.
The following registers can be write-protected:

To compute the different bit timings, please refer to the Section 31.7.4.1 “CAN Bit Timing Configuration” on page 649.
• PHASE2: Phase 2 Segment
This phase is used to compensate the edge phase error.
t PHS2 = t CSC × ( PHASE2 + 1 )
Warning: PHASE2 value must be different from 0.
• PHASE1: Phase 1 Segment
This phase is used to compensate for edge phase error.
t PHS1 = t CSC × ( PHASE1 + 1 )
• PROPAG: Programming Time Segment
This part of the bit time is used to compensate for the physical delay times within the network.
t PRS = t CSC × ( PROPAG + 1 )
• SJW: Re-synchronization Jump Width
To compensate for phase shifts between clock oscillators of different controllers on bus. The controller must re-synchronize on any relevant signal edge of the current transmission. The synchronization jump width defines the maximum of
clock cycles a bit period may be shortened or lengthened by re-synchronization.
t SJW = t CSC × ( SJW + 1 )
• BRP: Baudrate Prescaler
This field allows user to program the period of the CAN system clock to determine the individual bit timing.
t CSC = ( BRP + 1 ) ⁄ t peripheral clock
The BRP field must be within the range [1, 0x7F], i.e., BRP = 0 is not authorized.
• SMP: Sampling Mode
0 (ONCE): The incoming bit stream is sampled once at sample point.
1 (THREE): The incoming bit stream is sampled three times with a period of a peripheral clock, centered on sample point.
SMP Sampling Mode is automatically disabled if BRP = 0.

• MTIMESTAMP: Timestamp
This field carries the value of the internal CAN controller 16-bit timer value at the start or end of frame.
If the TEOF bit is cleared in the CAN_MR, the internal Timer Counter value is captured in the MTIMESTAMP field at each
start of frame else the value is captured at each end of frame. When the value is captured, the TSTP flag is set in the
CAN_SR. If the TSTP mask in the CAN_IMR is set, an interrupt is generated while TSTP flag is set in the CAN_SR. The
TSTP flag is cleared by reading the CAN_SR.
Note: The CAN_TIMESTP register is reset when the CAN is disabled then enabled via the CANEN bit in the CAN_MR.

REC
• REC: Receive Error Counter
When a receiver detects an error, REC will be increased by one, except when the detected error is a BIT ERROR while
sending an ACTIVE ERROR FLAG or an OVERLOAD FLAG.
When a receiver detects a dominant bit as the first bit after sending an ERROR FLAG, REC is increased by 8.
When a receiver detects a BIT ERROR while sending an ACTIVE ERROR FLAG, REC is increased by 8.
Any node tolerates up to 7 consecutive dominant bits after sending an ACTIVE ERROR FLAG, PASSIVE ERROR FLAG or
OVERLOAD FLAG. After detecting the 14th consecutive dominant bit (in case of an ACTIVE ERROR FLAG or an OVERLOAD FLAG) or after detecting the 8th consecutive dominant bit following a PASSIVE ERROR FLAG, and after each
sequence of additional eight consecutive dominant bits, each receiver increases its REC by 8.
After successful reception of a message, REC is decreased by 1 if it was between 1 and 127. If REC was 0, it stays 0, and
if it was greater than 127, then it is set to a value between 119 and 127.
• TEC: Transmit Error Counter
When a transmitter sends an ERROR FLAG, TEC is increased by 8 except when
– the transmitter is error passive and detects an ACKNOWLEDGMENT ERROR because of not detecting a
dominant ACK and does not detect a dominant bit while sending its PASSIVE ERROR FLAG.
– the transmitter sends an ERROR FLAG because a STUFF ERROR occurred during arbitration and should
have been recessive and has been sent as recessive but monitored as dominant.
When a transmitter detects a BIT ERROR while sending an ACTIVE ERROR FLAG or an OVERLOAD FLAG, the TEC will
be increased by 8.
Any node tolerates up to 7 consecutive dominant bits after sending an ACTIVE ERROR FLAG, PASSIVE ERROR FLAG or
OVERLOAD FLAG. After detecting the 14th consecutive dominant bit (in case of an ACTIVE ERROR FLAG or an OVERLOAD FLAG) or after detecting the 8th consecutive dominant bit following a PASSIVE ERROR FLAG, and after each
sequence of additional eight consecutive dominant bits every transmitter increases its TEC by 8.
After a successful transmission the TEC is decreased by 1 unless it was already 0.

This register initializes several transfer requests at the same time.
• MBx: Transfer Request for Mailbox x
Mailbox Object Type
Description
Receive
It receives the next message.
Receive with overwrite
This triggers a new reception.
Transmit
Sends data prepared in the mailbox as soon as possible.
Consumer
Sends a remote frame.
Producer
Sends data prepared in the mailbox after receiving a remote frame from a consumer.
This flag clears the MRDY and MABT flags in the corresponding CAN_MSRx.
When several mailboxes are requested to be transmitted simultaneously, they are transmitted in turn, starting with the
mailbox with the highest priority. If several mailboxes have the same priority, then the mailbox with the lowest number is
sent first (i.e., MB0 will be transferred before MB1).
• TIMRST: Timer Reset
Resets the internal timer counter. If the internal timer counter is frozen, this command automatically re-enables it. This
command is useful in Time Triggered mode.

MTIMEMARK
This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in the CAN Write Protection Mode Register.
• MTIMEMARK: Mailbox Timemark
This field is active in Time Triggered Mode. Transmit operations are allowed when the internal timer counter reaches the
Mailbox Timemark. See “Transmitting within a Time Window” on page 667.
In Timestamp Mode, MTIMEMARK is set to 0.
• PRIOR: Mailbox Priority
This field has no effect in receive and receive with overwrite modes. In these modes, the mailbox with the lowest number is
serviced first.
When several mailboxes try to transmit a message at the same time, the mailbox with the highest priority is serviced first. If
several mailboxes have the same priority, the mailbox with the lowest number is serviced first (i.e., MBx0 is serviced before
MBx 15 if they have the same priority).
• MOT: Mailbox Object Type
This field allows the user to define the type of the mailbox. All mailboxes are independently configurable. Five different
types are possible for each mailbox.

Reception mailbox with overwrite. Mailbox is configured for reception. If a message is received
while the mailbox is full, it overwrites the previous message.
3
MB_TX
Transmit mailbox. Mailbox is configured for transmission.
4
MB_CONSUMER
Consumer Mailbox. Mailbox is configured in reception but behaves as a Transmit Mailbox, i.e., it
sends a remote frame and waits for an answer.
5
MB_PRODUCER
Producer Mailbox. Mailbox is configured in transmission but also behaves like a reception mailbox,
i.e., it waits to receive a Remote Frame before sending its contents.

• MDL: Message Data Low Value
When MRDY bit is set in the CAN_MSRx, the lower 32 bits of a received message can be read or written by the software
application. Otherwise, the MDL value is locked by the CAN controller to send/receive a new message.
In Receive with overwrite, the CAN controller may modify MDL value while the software application reads MDH and MDL
registers. To check that MDH and MDL do not belong to different messages, the application has to check the MMI bit in the
CAN_MSRx. In this mode, the software application must re-read CAN_MDH and CAN_MDL, while the MMI bit in the
CAN_MSRx is set.

Chip Identifier (CHIPID)
32.1
Description
Chip Identifier (CHIPID) registers are used to recognize the device and its revision. These registers provide the
sizes and types of the on-chip memories, as well as the set of embedded peripherals.
Two CHIPID registers are embedded: Chip ID Register (CHIPID_CIDR) and Chip ID Extension Register
(CHIPID_EXID). Both registers contain a hard-wired value that is read-only.
The CHIPID_CIDR register contains the following fields:
VERSION: Identifies the revision of the silicon
EPROC: Indicates the embedded ARM processor
NVPTYP and NVPSIZ: Identify the type of embedded non-volatile memory and the size
SRAMSIZ: Indicates the size of the embedded SRAM
ARCH: Identifies the set of embedded peripherals
EXT: Shows the use of the extension identifier register
The CHIPID_EXID register is device-dependent and reads 0 if CHIPID_CIDR.EXT = 0.

Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO)
33.1
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 ensures
effective optimization of the pins of the 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.
Additional Interrupt modes enabling rising edge, falling edge, low-level or high-level detection on any I/O
line.
A glitch filter providing rejection of glitches lower than one-half of peripheral clock cycle.
A debouncing filter providing rejection of unwanted pulses from key or push button operations.
Multi-drive capability similar to an open drain I/O line.
Control of the pull-up and pull-down 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.
An 8-bit parallel capture mode is also available which can be used to interface a CMOS digital image sensor, an
ADC, a DSP synchronous port in synchronous mode, etc.

33.4.1
Product Dependencies
Pin Multiplexing
Each pin is configurable, depending on the product, 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.
33.4.2
Power Management
The Power Management Controller controls the peripheral clock in order to save power. Writing any of the
registers of the user interface does not require the peripheral clock to be enabled. This means that the
configuration of the I/O lines does not require the peripheral clock to be enabled.
However, when the clock is disabled, not all of the features of the PIO Controller are available, including glitch
filtering. Note that the input change interrupt, the interrupt modes on a programmable event and the read of the pin
level require the clock to be validated.
After a hardware reset, the peripheral clock is disabled by default.
The user must configure the Power Management Controller before any access to the input line information.
33.4.3
Interrupt Sources
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. Refer to the PIO Controller peripheral identifier in the
Peripheral Identifiers table to identify the interrupt sources dedicated to the PIO Controllers. Using the PIO
Controller requires the Interrupt Controller to be programmed first.
The PIO Controller interrupt can be generated only if the peripheral clock is enabled.

33.5.1
Pull-up and Pull-down Resistor Control
Each I/O line is designed with an embedded pull-up resistor and an embedded pull-down resistor. The pull-up
resistor can be enabled or disabled by writing to the Pull-up Enable Register (PIO_PUER) or Pull-up Disable
Register (PIO_PUDR), respectively. Writing to these registers results in setting or clearing the corresponding bit in
the Pull-up Status Register (PIO_PUSR). Reading a one in PIO_PUSR means the pull-up is disabled and reading
a zero means the pull-up is enabled. The pull-down resistor can be enabled or disabled by writing the Pull-down
Enable Register (PIO_PPDER) or the Pull-down Disable Register (PIO_PPDDR), respectively. Writing in these
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
709
registers results in setting or clearing the corresponding bit in the Pull-down Status Register (PIO_PPDSR).
Reading a one in PIO_PPDSR means the pull-up is disabled and reading a zero means the pull-down is enabled.
Enabling the pull-down resistor while the pull-up resistor is still enabled is not possible. In this case, the write of
PIO_PPDER for the relevant I/O line is discarded. Likewise, enabling the pull-up resistor while the pull-down
resistor is still enabled is not possible. In this case, the write of PIO_PUER for the relevant I/O line is discarded.
Control of the pull-up resistor is possible regardless of the configuration of the I/O line.
After reset, depending on the I/O, pull-up or pull-down can be set.
33.5.2
I/O Line or Peripheral Function Selection
When a pin is multiplexed with one or two peripheral functions, the selection is controlled with the Enable Register
(PIO_PER) and the Disable Register (PIO_PDR). The Status Register (PIO_PSR) 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 zero indicates that the pin is controlled by the corresponding on-chip peripheral selected in the ABCD
Select registers (PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2). A value of one 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 a one for the corresponding bit.
After reset, the I/O lines are controlled by the PIO Controller, i.e., PIO_PSR resets at one. 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 and depends on the multiplexing of the
device.
33.5.3
Peripheral A or B or C or D Selection
The PIO Controller provides multiplexing of up to four peripheral functions on a single pin. The selection is
performed by writing PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2.
For each pin:
The corresponding bit at level zero in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level zero in
PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral A is selected.
The corresponding bit at level one in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level zero in
PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral B is selected.
The corresponding bit at level zero in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level one in
PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral C is selected.
The corresponding bit at level one in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level one in
PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral D is selected.
Note that multiplexing of peripheral lines A, B, C and D only affects the output line. The peripheral input lines are
always connected to the pin input (see Figure 33-2).
Writing in PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 manages the multiplexing regardless of the configuration of the
pin. However, assignment of a pin to a peripheral function requires a write in PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2
in addition to a write in PIO_PDR.
After reset, PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 are zero, 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.
If the software selects a peripheral A, B, C or D which does not exist for a pin, no alternate functions are enabled
for this pin and the selection is taken into account. The PIO Controller does not carry out checks to prevent
selection of a peripheral which does not exist.
710
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
33.5.4
Output Control
When the I/O line is assigned to a peripheral function, i.e., the corresponding bit in PIO_PSR is at zero, the drive of
the I/O line is controlled by the peripheral. Peripheral A or B or C or D depending on the value in PIO_ABCDSR1
and PIO_ABCDSR2 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
the Output Enable Register (PIO_OER) and Output Disable Register (PIO_ODR). The results of these write
operations are detected in the Output Status Register (PIO_OSR). When a bit in this register is at zero, the
corresponding I/O line is used as an input only. When the bit is at one, 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 the Set Output Data Register (PIO_SODR) and the
Clear Output Data Register (PIO_CODR). These write operations, respectively, set and clear the Output Data
Status Register (PIO_ODSR), which represents the data driven on the I/O lines. Writing in PIO_OER and
PIO_ODR 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 affects PIO_ODSR. This is important as it defines the first level
driven on the I/O line.
33.5.5
Synchronous Data Output
Clearing one or more PIO line(s) and setting another one or more PIO line(s) synchronously cannot be done by
using PIO_SODR and PIO_CODR. It requires two successive write operations into two different registers. To
overcome this, the PIO Controller offers a direct control of PIO outputs by single write access to PIO_ODSR. Only
bits unmasked by the Output Write Status Register (PIO_OWSR) are written. The mask bits in PIO_OWSR are set
by writing to the Output Write Enable Register (PIO_OWER) and cleared by writing to the Output Write Disable
Register (PIO_OWDR).
After reset, the synchronous data output is disabled on all the I/O lines as PIO_OWSR resets at 0x0.
33.5.6
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 the Multi-driver Enable Register (PIO_MDER) and the Multi-driver Disable
Register (PIO_MDDR). The multi-drive can be selected whether the I/O line is controlled by the PIO Controller or
assigned to a peripheral function. The Multi-driver Status Register (PIO_MDSR) 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.
33.5.7
Output Line Timings
Figure 33-3 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 33-3 also shows when
the feedback in the Pin Data Status Register (PIO_PDSR) is available.

Inputs
The level on each I/O line can be read through PIO_PDSR. 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.
33.5.9
Input Glitch and Debouncing Filters
Optional input glitch and debouncing filters are independently programmable on each I/O line.
The glitch filter can filter a glitch with a duration of less than 1/2 peripheral clock and the debouncing filter can filter
a pulse of less than 1/2 period of a programmable divided slow clock.
The selection between glitch filtering or debounce filtering is done by writing in the PIO Input Filter Slow Clock
Disable Register (PIO_IFSCDR) and the PIO Input Filter Slow Clock Enable Register (PIO_IFSCER). Writing
PIO_IFSCDR and PIO_IFSCER, respectively, sets and clears bits in the Input Filter Slow Clock Status Register
(PIO_IFSCSR).
The current selection status can be checked by reading the PIO_IFSCSR.
If PIO_IFSCSR[i] = 0: The glitch filter can filter a glitch with a duration of less than 1/2 master clock period.
If PIO_IFSCSR[i] = 1: The debouncing filter can filter a pulse with a duration of less than 1/2 programmable
divided slow clock period.
For the debouncing filter, the period of the divided slow clock is defined by writing in the DIV field of the Slow Clock
Divider Debouncing Register (PIO_SCDR):
tdiv_slck = ((DIV + 1) × 2) × tslck
When the glitch or debouncing filter is enabled, a glitch or pulse with a duration of less than 1/2 selected clock
cycle (selected clock represents peripheral clock or divided slow clock depending on PIO_IFSCDR and
PIO_IFSCER programming) is automatically rejected, while a pulse with a duration of one selected clock
(peripheral clock or divided slow clock) cycle or more is accepted. For pulse durations between 1/2 selected clock
cycle and one selected 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 one selected clock cycle, whereas for a glitch
to be reliably filtered out, its duration must not exceed 1/2 selected clock cycle.
The filters also introduce some latencies, illustrated in Figure 33-4 and Figure 33-5.

The glitch filters are controlled by the Input Filter Enable Register (PIO_IFER), the Input Filter Disable Register
(PIO_IFDR) and the Input Filter Status Register (PIO_IFSR). 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 and/or debouncing 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 and
debouncing filters require that the peripheral clock is enabled.

Input Edge/Level Interrupt
The PIO Controller can be programmed to generate an interrupt when it detects an edge or a level on an I/O line.
The Input Edge/Level interrupt is controlled by writing the Interrupt Enable Register (PIO_IER) and the Interrupt
Disable Register (PIO_IDR), which enable and disable the input change interrupt respectively by setting and
clearing the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Mask Register (PIO_IMR). As input change detection is possible only
by comparing two successive samplings of the input of the I/O line, the peripheral 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.
By default, the interrupt can be generated at any time an edge is detected on the input.
Some additional interrupt modes can be enabled/disabled by writing in the Additional Interrupt Modes Enable
Register (PIO_AIMER) and Additional Interrupt Modes Disable Register (PIO_AIMDR). The current state of this
selection can be read through the Additional Interrupt Modes Mask Register (PIO_AIMMR).
These additional modes are:

713
Rising edge detection
Falling edge detection
Low-level detection
High-level detection
In order to select an additional interrupt mode:
The type of event detection (edge or level) must be selected by writing in the Edge Select Register
(PIO_ESR) and Level Select Register (PIO_LSR) which select, respectively, the edge and level detection.
The current status of this selection is accessible through the Edge/Level Status Register (PIO_ELSR).
The polarity of the event detection (rising/falling edge or high/low-level) must be selected by writing in the
Falling Edge/Low-Level Select Register (PIO_FELLSR) and Rising Edge/High-Level Select Register
(PIO_REHLSR) which allow to select falling or rising edge (if edge is selected in PIO_ELSR) edge or highor low-level detection (if level is selected in PIO_ELSR). The current status of this selection is accessible
through the Fall/Rise - Low/High Status Register (PIO_FRLHSR).
When an input edge or level is detected on an I/O line, the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Status Register
(PIO_ISR) is set. If the corresponding bit in PIO_IMR is set, the PIO Controller interrupt line is asserted.The
interrupt signals of the 32 channels are ORed-wired together to generate a single interrupt signal to the 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. When an Interrupt is enabled on a “level”, the interrupt is
generated as long as the interrupt source is not cleared, even if some read accesses in PIO_ISR are performed.

I/O Lines Lock
When an I/O line is controlled by a peripheral (particularly the Pulse Width Modulation Controller PWM), it can
become locked by the action of this peripheral via an input of the PIO Controller. When an I/O line is locked, the
write of the corresponding bit in PIO_PER, PIO_PDR, PIO_MDER, PIO_MDDR, PIO_PUDR, PIO_PUER,
PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 is discarded in order to lock its configuration. The user can know at anytime
which I/O line is locked by reading the PIO Lock Status Register (PIO_LOCKSR). Once an I/O line is locked, the
only way to unlock it is to apply a hardware reset to the PIO Controller.
33.5.12
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 current peak in such cases, additional propagation delays can be adjusted independently for
pad buffers by means of configuration registers, PIO_DELAYR.
For each I/O supporting the additional programmable delay, the delay ranges from 0 to - ns (worst case process,
voltage, temperature). The delay can differ between I/Os supporting this feature. Delay can be modified per
programming for each I/O. The minimal additional delay that can be programmed on a PAD supporting this feature
is 1/16 of the maximum programmable delay.
Only pads PA26-PA27-PA30-PA31 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 fields, the propagation delay of the corresponding
pad is maximal.

Parallel Capture Mode
33.5.14.1
Overview
The PIO Controller integrates an interface able to read data from a CMOS digital image sensor, a high-speed
parallel ADC, a DSP synchronous port in synchronous mode, etc. For better understanding and to ease reading,
the following description uses an example with a CMOS digital image sensor.
33.5.14.2
Functional Description
The CMOS digital image sensor provides a sensor clock, an 8-bit data synchronous with the sensor clock and two
data enables which are also synchronous with the sensor clock.

As soon as the parallel capture mode is enabled by writing a one to the PCEN bit in PIO_PCMR, the I/O lines
connected to the sensor clock (PIODCCLK), the sensor data (PIODC[7:0]) and the sensor data enable signals
(PIODCEN1 and PIODCEN2) are configured automatically as inputs. To know which I/O lines are associated with

717
the sensor clock, the sensor data and the sensor data enable signals, refer to the I/O multiplexing table(s) in the
section “Package and Pinout”.
Once enabled, the parallel capture mode samples the data at rising edge of the sensor clock and resynchronizes it
with the peripheral clock domain.
The size of the data which can be read in PIO_PCRHR can be programmed using the DSIZE field in PIO_PCMR.
If this data size is larger than 8 bits, then the parallel capture mode samples several sensor data to form a
concatenated data of size defined by DSIZE. Then this data is stored in PIO_PCRHR and the flag DRDY is set to
one in PIO_PCISR.
The parallel capture mode can be associated with a reception channel of the Peripheral DMA
Controller (PDC). This performs reception transfer from parallel capture mode to a memory
buffer without any intervention from the CPU. Transfer status signals from PDC are available
in PIO_PCISR through the flags ENDRX and RXBUFF.
The parallel capture mode can take into account the sensor data enable signals or not. If the bit ALWYS is set to
zero in PIO_PCMR, the parallel capture mode samples the sensor data at the rising edge of the sensor clock only
if both data enable signals are active (at one). If the bit ALWYS is set to one, the parallel capture mode samples
the sensor data at the rising edge of the sensor clock whichever the data enable signals are.
The parallel capture mode can sample the sensor data only one time out of two. This is particularly useful when
the user wants only to sample the luminance Y of a CMOS digital image sensor which outputs a YUV422 data
stream. If the HALFS bit is set to zero in PIO_PCMR, the parallel capture mode samples the sensor data in the
conditions described above. If the HALFS bit is set to one in PIO_PCMR, the parallel capture mode samples the
sensor data in the conditions described above, but only one time out of two. Depending on the FRSTS bit in
PIO_PCMR, the sensor can either sample the even or odd sensor data. If sensor data are numbered in the order
that they are received with an index from zero to n, if FRSTS equals zero then only data with an even index are
sampled. If FRSTS equals one, then only data with an odd index are sampled. If data is ready in PIO_PCRHR and
it is not read before a new data is stored in PIO_PCRHR, then an overrun error occurs. The previous data is lost
and the OVRE flag in PIO_PCISR is set to one. This flag is automatically reset when PIO_PCISR is read (reset
after read).
The flags DRDY, OVRE, ENDRX and RXBUFF can be a source of the PIO interrupt.

Register Write Protection
To prevent any single software error from corrupting PIO behavior, certain registers in the address space can be
write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the PIO Write Protection Mode Register (PIO_WPMR).
If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS flag in the PIO Write Protection Status
Register (PIO_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been
attempted.
The WPVS bit is automatically cleared after reading the PIO_WPSR.
The following registers can be write-protected:

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-bit 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 one systematically.

Notes: 1. Reset value 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. If an offset is not listed in the table it must be considered as reserved.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
34.1
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, contrary to single master protocol where one CPU is always the master while all of the others are
always slaves). One master can simultaneously shift data into multiple slaves. However, only one slave can 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:
34.2
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 can transmit data at a variety of baud rates; there is one SPCK pulse for each bit that is transmitted.
Slave Select (NSS)—This control line allows slaves to be turned on and off by hardware.

Functional Description
34.7.1
Modes of Operation
The SPI operates in Master mode or in Slave mode.
The SPI operates in Master mode by setting the MSTR bit in the SPI Mode Register (SPI_MR):
̶
Pins NPCS0 to NPCS3 are all configured as outputs
̶
The SPCK pin is driven
̶
The MISO line is wired on the receiver input
̶
The MOSI line is driven as an output by the transmitter.
The SPI operates in Slave mode if the MSTR bit in the SPI_MR is written to 0:
̶
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)
̶
NPCS1 to NPCS3 are not driven and can be used for other purposes.
The data transfers are identically programmable for both modes of operation. The baud rate generator is activated
only in Master mode.
34.7.2
Data Transfer
Four combinations of polarity and phase are available for data transfers. The clock polarity is programmed with the
CPOL bit in the SPI chip select registers (SPI_CSRx). 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.
Consequently, a master/slave pair must use the same parameter pair values to communicate. If multiple slaves
are connected and require different configurations, the master must reconfigure itself each time it needs to
communicate with a different slave.
Table 34-4 shows the four modes and corresponding parameter settings.

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 (SPI_TDR) and the Receive Data Register
(SPI_RDR), and a single shift register. The holding registers maintain the data flow at a constant rate.
After enabling the SPI, a data transfer starts when the processor writes to the SPI_TDR. The written data is
immediately transferred in the Shift register and the 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. Data cannot be
loaded in the SPI_RDR without transmitting data. If there is no data to transmit, dummy data can be used
(SPI_TDR filled with ones). If the SPI_MR.WDRBT bit is set, transmission can occur only if the SPI_RDR has been
read. If Receiving mode is not required, for example when communicating with a slave receiver only (such as an
LCD), the receive status flags in the SPI Status register (SPI_SR) can be discarded.
Before writing the SPI_TDR, the PCS field in the SPI_MR must be set in order to select a slave.
If new data is written in the SPI_TDR during the transfer, it is kept in the SPI_TDR until the current transfer is
completed. Then, the received data is transferred from the Shift register to the SPI_RDR, the data in the SPI_TDR
is loaded in the Shift register and a new transfer starts.
As soon as the SPI_TDR is written, the Transmit Data Register Empty (TDRE) flag in the SPI_SR is cleared. When
the data written in the SPI_TDR is loaded into the Shift register, the TDRE flag in the SPI_SR is set. The TDRE bit
is used to trigger the Transmit PDC or DMA channel.
See Figure 34-5.
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 this delay. The peripheral clock can be switched off
at this time.
Note:
When the SPI is enabled, the TDRE and TXEMPTY flags are set.

The transfer of received data from the Shift register to the SPI_RDR is indicated by the Receive Data Register Full
(RDRF) bit in the SPI_SR. When the received data is read, the RDRF bit is cleared.
If the SPI_RDR has not been read before new data is received, the Overrun Error (OVRES) bit in the SPI_SR is
set. As long as this flag is set, data is loaded in the SPI_RDR. The user has to read the SPI_SR to clear the
OVRES bit.
Figure 34-6 shows a block diagram of the SPI when operating in Master mode. Figure 34-7 shows a flow chart
describing how transfers are handled.

36.5.2.1
Receiver Reset, Enable and Disable
After device reset, the UART receiver is disabled and must be enabled before being used. The receiver can be
enabled by writing the Control Register (UART_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 UART_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 receiver can be put in reset state by writing UART_CR with the bit RSTRX at 1. In this case, 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.
36.5.2.2
Start Detection and Data Sampling
The UART only supports asynchronous operations, and this affects only its receiver. The UART receiver detects
the start of a received character by sampling the URXD signal until it detects a valid start bit. A low level (space) on
URXD is interpreted as a valid start bit if it is detected for more than seven 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 URXD 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
detecting the falling edge of the start bit.
Each subsequent bit is sampled 16 cycles (1-bit period) after the previous one.

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 the Mode Register (UART_MR). It then compares the result with the received parity bit. If different,
the parity error bit PARE in UART_SR is set at the same time RXRDY is set. The parity bit is cleared when
UART_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.

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 UART_SR is set at the same
time the RXRDY bit is set. The FRAME bit remains high until the Control Register (UART_CR) is written with the
bit RSTSTA at 1.

36.5.3.1
Transmitter Reset, Enable and Disable
RSTSTA
After device reset, the UART transmitter is disabled and must be enabled before being used. The transmitter is
enabled by writing UART_CR with the bit TXEN at 1. From this command, the transmitter waits for a character to
be written in the Transmit Holding Register (UART_THR) before actually starting the transmission.
The programmer can disable the transmitter by writing UART_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 internal shift register
and/or a character has been written in the UART_THR, the characters are completed before the transmitter is
actually stopped.
The programmer can also put the transmitter in its reset state by writing the UART_CR with the bit RSTTX at 1.
This immediately stops the transmitter, whether or not it is processing characters.
36.5.3.2
Transmit Format
The UART transmitter drives the pin UTXD at the baud rate clock speed. The line is driven depending on the
format defined in UART_MR and the data stored in the internal 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 in the following figure. The field PARE in UART_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.

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

Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC)
Both the receiver and the transmitter of the UART are connected to a PDC.
The PDC channels are programmed via registers that are mapped within the UART user interface from the offset
0x100. The status bits are reported in UART_SR and generate an interrupt.
The RXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the receiver. This results in a read of the data in
UART_RHR. The TXRDY bit triggers the PDC channel data transfer of the transmitter. This results in a write of
data in UART_THR.
36.5.5
Test Modes
The UART supports three test modes. These modes of operation are programmed by using the CHMODE field in
UART_MR.
The Automatic Echo mode allows a bit-by-bit retransmission. When a bit is received on the URXD line, it is sent to
the UTXD line. The transmitter operates normally, but has no effect on the UTXD line.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]

865
The Local Loopback mode allows the transmitted characters to be received. UTXD and URXD pins are not used
and the output of the transmitter is internally connected to the input of the receiver. The URXD pin level has no
effect and the UTXD line is held high, as in idle state.
The Remote Loopback mode directly connects the URXD pin to the UTXD line. The transmitter and the receiver
are disabled and have no effect. This mode allows a bit-by-bit retransmission.

Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART)
37.1
Description
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver (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, and SPI buses, with ISO7816 T =
0 or T = 1 smart card slots, infrared transceivers and connection to modem ports. The hardware handshaking
feature enables an out-of-band flow control by automatic management of the pins RTS and CTS.
The USART supports the connection to the DMA Controller and the Peripheral DMA Controller, which enables
data transfers to the transmitter and from the receiver. The PDC and DMAC provide chained buffer management
without any intervention of the processor.

Product Dependencies
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.
All the pins of the modems may or may not be implemented on the USART. Only USART1 is fully equipped with all
the modem signals. On USARTs not equipped with the corresponding pin, the associated control bits and statuses
have no effect on the behavior of the USART.

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.
37.5.3
Interrupt Sources
The USART interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the Interrupt Controller. Using the USART
interrupt requires the Interrupt Controller to be programmed first.

Functional Description
37.6.1
Baud Rate Generator
The baud rate generator provides the bit period clock, also named the baud rate clock, to both the receiver and the
transmitter.
The baud rate generator clock source is selected by configuring the USCLKS field in the USART Mode Register
(US_MR) to one of the following:
The peripheral clock
A division of the peripheral clock, where the divider is 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 a 0 is written to CD, the baud rate generator does not generate any clock. If a 1
is written to CD, 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 peripheral clock period. The frequency of the signal provided on SCK must be at least 3
times lower than the frequency provided on the peripheral clock in USART mode (field USART_MODE differs from
0xE or 0xF), or 6 times lower in SPI mode (field USART_MODE equals 0xE or 0xF).

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 US_BRGR. The resulting clock is provided to the receiver as a sampling clock and then
divided by 16 or 8, depending on how the OVER bit in the US_MR is programmed.
If OVER is set, the receiver sampling is eight times higher than the baud rate clock. If OVER is cleared, the
sampling is performed at 16 times the baud rate clock.
The baud rate is calculated as per the following formula:
Selected Clock
Baud Rate = ----------------------------------------------( 8 ( 2 – OVER )CD )
This gives a maximum baud rate of peripheral clock divided by 8, assuming that the peripheral clock is the highest
possible clock and that the OVER bit is set.

37.6.1.2
Fractional Baud Rate in Asynchronous Mode
The baud rate generator is subject to the following limitation: the output frequency changes only by 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 US_BRGR. If FP is not 0, the
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]

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:
Selected Clock
Baud Rate = ------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 ( 2 – OVER ) CD + FP

The modified architecture is presented in the following Figure 37-3.

Warning: When the value of field FP is greater than 0, the SCK (oversampling clock) generates non-constant duty
cycles. The SCK high duration is increased by “selected clock” period from time to time. The duty cycle depends
on the value of the CD field.
37.6.1.3
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 the US_BRGR.
Selected Clock
Baud Rate = -----------------------------------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 3 times lower than the system clock. In Master mode, Synchronous mode (USCLKS =
0 or 1, CLKO set to 1), the receive part limits the SCK maximum frequency to Selected Clock/3 in USART mode, or
Selected Clock/6 in SPI mode.
When either the external clock SCK or the internal clock divided (peripheral clock/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. When the
peripheral clock 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 US_MR is first divided by
the value programmed in the field CD in the 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).

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 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 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 the 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.
37.6.3
Synchronous and Asynchronous Modes
37.6.3.1
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 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 the US_MR configures which
data bit is sent first. If written to 1, the most significant bit is sent first. If written to 0, the less significant bit is sent
first. The number of stop bits is selected by the NBSTOP field in the 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.

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 bit 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 37-7 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
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]

887
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 37-8 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 1, 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 bit in the US_MR. It consists of a user-defined pattern
that indicates the beginning of a valid data. Figure 37-9 illustrates these patterns. If the start frame delimiter, also
known as the start bit, is one bit, (ONEBIT = 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 (ONE BIT to 0), a sequence of three 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 bit 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 bit in US_MR must be set to 1. In this
case, the MODSYNC bit in the 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.

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.

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 US_MR.
The receiver samples the RXD line. If the line is sampled during one half of a bit time to 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 = 0), a start is detected at the eighth sample to 0. Data bits, parity bit and stop bit
are assumed to have a duration corresponding to 16 oversampling clock cycles. If the oversampling is 8 (OVER =
1), a start bit is detected at the fourth sample to 0. Data bits, parity bit and stop bit are assumed to have a duration
corresponding to 8 oversampling clock cycles.

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.

Manchester Decoder
When the MAN bit in the 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 bit 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 37-8 for available preamble patterns.
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 to zero, a start bit is detected. See Figure 3713. 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 resynchronizes 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 37-14 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, the MANERR flag in the US_CSR is
raised. It is cleared by writing a 1 to the RSTSTA in the US_CR. See Figure 37-15 for an example of Manchester
error detection during data phase.

When the start frame delimiter is a sync pattern (ONEBIT field to 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 setup to be used in Unipolar mode, the first bit of the frame has to be a zero-to-one transition.

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 37-16.

The USART peripheral 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 37-17 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 37-18.
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.

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.
Figure 37-19 illustrates a character reception in Synchronous mode.

Receiver Operations
When a character reception is completed, it is transferred to the Receive Holding register (US_RHR) and the
RXRDY bit in 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 a 1 to the RSTSTA (Reset Status) bit in the US_CR.

Parity
The USART supports five Parity modes that are selected by writing to the PAR field in the US_MR. The PAR field
also enables the Multidrop mode, see Section 37.6.3.9 ”Multidrop Mode”. 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 to 0 if a number of 1s in the
character data bit is even, and to 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 to 1 if a number of 1s in the character data bit
is even, and to 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 to 1 for all characters. The receiver parity checker reports an error
if the parity bit is sampled to 0. If the space parity is used, the parity generator of the transmitter drives the parity bit
to 0 for all characters. The receiver parity checker reports an error if the parity bit is sampled to 1. If parity is
disabled, the transmitter does not generate any parity bit and the receiver does not report any parity error.
Table 37-8 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 set to 1 in the character value, the parity bit is set to 1
when the parity is odd, or configured to 0 when the parity is even.

When the receiver detects a parity error, it sets the PARE (Parity Error) bit in the US_CSR. The PARE bit can be
cleared by writing a 1 to the RSTSTA bit the US_CR. Figure 37-21 illustrates the parity bit status setting and
clearing.

Multidrop Mode
If the value 0x6 or 0x07 is written to the PAR field in the US_MR, 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 a 1 is written to the SENTA bit in the
US_CR.
To handle parity error, the PARE bit is cleared when a 1 is written to the RSTSTA bit in the US_CR.
The transmitter sends an address byte (parity bit set) when SENDA is written to in the US_CR. In this case, the
next byte written to the US_THR is transmitted as an address. Any character written in the US_THR without having
written the command SENDA is transmitted normally with the parity at 0.
37.6.3.10
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 written to 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 37-22, 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 to 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.

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 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 written to 0, the Receiver Time-out is disabled and no
time-out is detected. The TIMEOUT bit in the 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 US_CSR rises. Then, the user can either:
896
Stop the counter clock until a new character is received. This is performed by writing a 1 to the STTTO (Start
Time-out) bit in the US_CR. 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 a 1 to the RETTO (Reload
and Start Time-out) bit in the US_CR. 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.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
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.

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 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 a 1 to the RSTSTA bit in the US_CR.

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 a 1 to the STTBRK bit in the US_CR. 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 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 a 1 to the STPBRK bit in the US_CR. 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
processed only if the TXRDY bit in US_CSR is to 1 and the start of the break condition clears the TXRDY and
TXEMPTY bits as if a character is processed.
Writing US_CR with both STTBRK and STPBRK bits to 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 37-25 illustrates the effect of both the Start Break (STTBRK) and Stop Break (STPBRK) commands on the
TXD line.

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 to 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 a 1 to the RSTSTA bit in the US_CR.
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.

Hardware Handshaking
The USART features a hardware handshaking out-of-band flow control. The RTS and CTS pins are used to
connect with the remote device, as shown in Figure 37-26.

Setting the USART to operate with hardware handshaking is performed by writing the USART_MODE field in
US_MR to the value 0x2.
When hardware handshaking is enabled, the USART displays similar behavior as in standard Synchronous or
Asynchronous modes, with the difference that the receiver drives the RTS pin and the level on the CTS pin
modifies the behavior of the transmitter, as shown in the figures below. Using this mode requires using the PDC
channel for reception. The transmitter can handle hardware handshaking in any case.
Figure 37-27 shows how the receiver operates if hardware handshaking is enabled. The RTS pin is driven high if
the receiver is disabled or 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 in the PDC clears the status bit RXBUFF and, as a result, asserts the pin RTS low.

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 US_MR to the value 0x4
for protocol T = 0 and to the value 0x5 for protocol T = 1.
37.6.4.1
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 Section 37-2 ”Baud Rate Generator”).
The USART connects to a smart card as shown in Figure 37-29. 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.

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 Section 37.7.3 ”USART Mode Register” and “PAR: Parity Type” .
900
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
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.
37.6.4.2
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 37-30.
If a parity error is detected by the receiver, it drives the I/O line to 0 during the guard time, as shown in Figure 3731. 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 US_MR. If
INACK is to 1, no error signal is driven on the I/O line even if a parity bit is detected.
Moreover, if INACK is set, the erroneous received character is stored in the Receive Holding register, as if no error
occurred and the RXRDY bit does rise.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
901
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 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 and the last repeated character is not
acknowledged, the ITER bit is set in US_CSR. If the repetition of the character is acknowledged by the receiver,
the repetitions are stopped and the iteration counter is cleared.
The ITER bit in US_CSR can be cleared by writing a 1 to the RSTIT bit in the US_CR.
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 US_MR. The maximum number of NACKs transmitted is programmed in the
MAX_ITERATION field. As soon as MAX_ITERATION is reached, no error signal is driven on the I/O line and the
ITER bit in the US_CSR is set.
37.6.4.3
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 US_CSR.
37.6.5
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
37-32. The modulator and demodulator are compliant with the IrDA specification version 1.1 and support data
transfer speeds ranging from 2.4 kbit/s to 115.2 kbit/s.
The IrDA mode is enabled by setting the USART_MODE field in US_MR to the value 0x8. The IrDA Filter register
(US_IF) is used to configure 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.

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 peripheral clock 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 37-34 illustrates the operations of the IrDA demodulator.

The programmed value in the US_IF register must always meet the following criteria:

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 make sure IrDA communications operate correctly.
37.6.6
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 an RS485 bus is shown in Figure 37-35.

The USART is set in RS485 mode by writing the value 0x1 to the USART_MODE field in US_MR.

Modem Mode
The USART features Modem mode, which enables control of the signals: DTR (Data Terminal Ready), DSR (Data
Set Ready), RTS (Request to Send), CTS (Clear to Send), DCD (Data Carrier Detect) and RI (Ring Indicator).
While operating in Modem mode, the USART behaves as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) as it drives DTR and
RTS and can detect level change on DSR, DCD, CTS and RI.
Setting the USART in Modem mode is performed by writing the USART_MODE field in US_MR to the value 0x3.
While operating in Modem mode, the USART behaves as though in Asynchronous mode and all the parameter
configurations are available.

The control of the DTR output pin is performed by writing a 1 to the DTRDIS and DTREN bits respectively in
US_CR. The disable command forces the corresponding pin to its inactive level, i.e., high. The enable command
forces the corresponding pin to its active level, i.e., low. The RTS output pin is automatically controlled in this
mode.
The level changes are detected on the RI, DSR, DCD and CTS pins. If an input change is detected, the RIIC,
DSRIC, DCDIC and CTSIC bits in US_CSR are set respectively and can trigger an interrupt. The status is
automatically cleared when US_CSR is read. Furthermore, the CTS automatically disables the transmitter when it
is detected at its inactive state. If a character is being transmitted when the CTS rises, the character transmission
is completed before the transmitter is actually disabled.
37.6.8
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.
37.6.8.1
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 0xE to the USART_MODE field in US_MR. In this case
the SPI lines must be connected as described below:
906
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
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
The NSS line is driven by the output pin RTS
Operation in SPI Slave mode is programmed by writing to 0xF the USART_MODE field in US_MR. 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 unpredictable 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 37.6.8.4).
37.6.8.2
Baud Rate
In SPI mode, the baud rate generator operates in the same way as in USART Synchronous mode. See Section
37.6.1.3 ”Baud Rate in Synchronous Mode or SPI Mode”. 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
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 must be superior
or equal to 6.
If the divided peripheral clock 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 peripheral clock is selected.
In SPI Slave mode:
37.6.8.3
The external clock (SCK) selection is forced regardless of the value of the USCLKS field in the 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 6 times lower than the system clock.
Data Transfer
Up to nine 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 US_MR. The nine 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 US_MR. 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.

Receiver and Transmitter Control
See Section 37.6.2 ”Receiver and Transmitter Control”
37.6.8.5
Character Transmission
The characters are sent by writing in the Transmit Holding register (US_THR). An additional condition for
transmitting a character can be added when the USART is configured in SPI Master mode. In the USART Mode
Register (SPI_MODE) (USART_MR), the value configured on the bit WRDBT can prevent any character
908
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
transmission (even if US_THR has been written) while the receiver side is not ready (character not read). When
WRDBT equals 0, the character is transmitted whatever the receiver status. If WRDBT is set to 1, the transmitter
waits for the Receive Holding register (US_RHR) to be read before transmitting the character (RXRDY flag
cleared), thus preventing any overflow (character loss) on the receiver side.
The chip select line is de-asserted for a period equivalent to three bits between the transmission of two data.
The transmitter reports two status bits in 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.
If the USART is in SPI Slave mode and if a character must be sent while the 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 a 1 to the RSTSTA (Reset Status) bit in US_CR.
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 a 1 to the
RCS bit in the US_CR. The slave select line (NSS) can be released at high level only by writing a 1 to the FCS bit
in the US_CR (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.
37.6.8.6
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 a 1 to the RSTSTA (Reset Status) bit in the US_CR.
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.
37.6.8.7
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 US_RTOR.
37.6.9
Test Modes
The USART can be programmed to operate in three different test modes. The internal loopback capability allows
on-board diagnostics. In Loopback mode, the USART interface pins are disconnected or not and reconfigured for
loopback internally or externally.
37.6.9.1
Normal Mode
Normal mode connects the RXD pin on the receiver input and the transmitter output on the TXD pin.

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 37-40. 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.

Register Write Protection
To prevent any single software error from corrupting USART behavior, certain registers in the address space can
be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the USART Write Protection Mode Register (US_WPMR).
If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS flag in the USART Write Protection Status
Register (US_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been
attempted.
The WPVS bit is automatically cleared after reading the US_WPSR.
The following registers can be write-protected:
USART Mode Register
USART Baud Rate Generator Register
USART Receiver Time-out Register
USART Transmitter Timeguard Register
USART FI DI RATIO Register
USART IrDA Filter Register
USART Manchester Configuration Register

CPOL is used to determine the inactive state value of the serial clock (SPCK). It is used with CPHA to produce the required
clock/data relationship between master and slave devices.
• CLKO: Clock Output Select
0: The USART does not drive the SCK pin.
1: The USART drives the SCK pin if USCLKS does not select the external clock SCK.
• WRDBT: Wait Read Data Before Transfer
0: The character transmission starts as soon as a character is written into US_THR (assuming TXRDY was set).
1: The character transmission starts when a character is written and only if RXRDY flag is cleared (Receive Holding Register has been read).

Timer Counter (TC)
38.1
Description
A Timer Counter (TC) module includes three identical TC channels. The number of implemented TC modules is
device-specific.
Each TC 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 TC embeds a quadrature decoder (QDEC) connected in front of the timers and driven by TIOA0, TIOB0 and
TIOB1 inputs. When enabled, the QDEC performs the input lines filtering, decoding of quadrature signals and
connects to the timers/counters in order to read the position and speed of the motor through the user interface.
The TC block has two global registers which act upon all TC channels:
38.2
Block Control Register (TC_BCR)—allows channels to be started simultaneously with the same instruction
Block Mode Register (TC_BMR)—defines the external clock inputs for each channel, allowing them to be
chained

Functional Description
Description
All channels of the Timer Counter are independent and identical in operation except when the QDEC is enabled.
The registers for channel programming are listed in Table 38-6 “Register Mapping”.
38.6.2
32-bit Counter
Each 32-bit channel is organized around a 32-bit counter. The value of the counter is incremented at each positive
edge of the selected clock. When the counter has reached the value 232-1 and passes to zero, an overflow occurs
and the COVFS bit in the TC Status Register (TC_SR) is set.
The current value of the counter is accessible in real time by reading the TC Counter Value Register (TC_CV). The
counter can be reset by a trigger. In this case, the counter value passes to zero on the next valid edge of the
selected clock.

Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
38.6.3
Clock Selection
At block level, input clock signals of each channel can be connected either to the external inputs TCLKx, or to the
internal I/O signals TIOAx for chaining(1) by programming the TC Block Mode Register (TC_BMR). See Figure 382.
Each channel can independently select an internal or external clock source for its counter(2):
External clock signals: XC0, XC1 or XC2
Internal clock signals: MCK/2, MCK/8, MCK/32, MCK/128, SLCK
This selection is made by the TCCLKS bits in the TC Channel Mode Register (TC_CMR).
The selected clock can be inverted with the CLKI bit in the 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
TC_CMR defines this signal (none, XC0, XC1, XC2). See Figure 38-3.
Notes:
1.
2.
Figure 38-2.
In Waveform mode, to chain two timers, it is mandatory to initialize some parameters:
- Configure TIOx outputs to 1 or 0 by writing the required value to TC_CMR.ASWTRG.
- Bit TC_BCR.SYNC must be written to 1 to start the channels at the same time.
In all cases, if an external clock is used, the duration of each of its levels must be longer than the peripheral clock
period, so the clock frequency will be at least 2.5 times lower than the peripheral clock.

Clock Control
The clock of each counter can be controlled in two different ways: it can be enabled/disabled and started/stopped.
See Figure 38-4.
954
The clock can be enabled or disabled by the user with the CLKEN and the CLKDIS commands in the TC
Channel Control Register (TC_CCR). In Capture mode it can be disabled by an RB load event if LDBDIS is
set to 1 in the 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
TC_CCR can re-enable the clock. When the clock is enabled, the CLKSTA bit is set in the TC_SR.
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
an RC compare event in Waveform mode (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR). The start and the stop commands
are effective only if the clock is enabled.

Operating Modes
Each channel can operate independently 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_CMR.
In Capture mode, TIOAx and TIOBx are configured as inputs.
In Waveform mode, TIOAx is always configured to be an output and TIOBx is an output if it is not selected to be
the external trigger.
38.6.6
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.
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 the TC_CMR.
The channel can also be configured to have an external trigger. In Capture mode, the external trigger signal can be
selected between TIOAx and TIOBx. In Waveform mode, an external event can be programmed on one of the
following signals: TIOBx, XC0, XC1 or XC2. This external event can then be programmed to perform a trigger by
setting bit ENETRG in the TC_CMR.
If an external trigger is used, the duration of the pulses must be longer than the peripheral clock period in order to
be detected.

38.6.7
Capture Mode
Capture mode is entered by clearing the WAVE bit in the TC_CMR.
Capture mode allows the TC channel to perform measurements such as pulse timing, frequency, period, duty
cycle and phase on TIOAx and TIOBx signals which are considered as inputs.
Figure 38-6 shows the configuration of the TC channel when programmed in Capture mode.
38.6.8
Capture Registers A and B
Registers A and B (RA and RB) are used as capture registers. They can be loaded with the counter value when a
programmable event occurs on the signal TIOAx.
The LDRA field in the TC_CMR defines the TIOAx selected edge for the loading of register A, and the LDRB field
defines the TIOAx selected edge for the loading of Register B.
The subsampling ratio defined by the SBSMPLR field in TC_CMR is applied to these selected edges, so that the
loading of Register A and Register B occurs once every 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 selected edges.
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 bit) in the TC_SR.
In this case, the old value is overwritten.
When DMA is used, the RAB register address must be configured as source address of the transfer. The RAB
register provides the next unread value from Register A and Register B. It may be read by the DMA after a request
has been triggered upon loading Register A or Register B.
38.6.9
Transfer with PDC in Capture Mode
The PDC can perform access from the TC to system memory in Capture mode only.
Figure 38-5 illustrates how TC_RA and TC_RB can be loaded in the system memory without CPU intervention.

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 the TC_CMR selects TIOAx or TIOBx input signal as an external trigger or the trigger signal
from the output comparator of the PWM module. The External Trigger Edge Selection parameter (ETRGEDG field
in TC_CMR) defines the edge (rising, falling, or both) detected to generate an external trigger. If ETRGEDG = 0
(none), the external trigger is disabled.

Waveform Mode
Waveform mode is entered by setting the TC_CMRx.WAVE bit.
In Waveform mode, the TC channel generates one or two PWM signals with the same frequency and
independently programmable duty cycles, or generates different types of one-shot or repetitive pulses.
In this mode, TIOAx is configured as an output and TIOBx is defined as an output if it is not used as an external
event (EEVT parameter in TC_CMR).
Figure 38-7 shows the configuration of the TC channel when programmed in Waveform operating mode.
38.6.12
Waveform Selection
Depending on the WAVSEL parameter in TC_CMR, the behavior of TC_CV varies.
With any selection, TC_RA, TC_RB and TC_RC can all be used as compare registers.
RA Compare is used to control the TIOAx output, RB Compare is used to control the TIOBx output (if correctly
configured) and RC Compare is used to control TIOAx and/or TIOBx outputs.

WAVSEL = 00
When WAVSEL = 00, the value of TC_CV is incremented from 0 to 232-1. Once 232-1 has been reached, the value
of TC_CV is reset. Incrementation of TC_CV starts again and the cycle continues. See Figure 38-8.
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 38-9.
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).

External Event/Trigger Conditions
An external event can be programmed to be detected on one of the clock sources (XC0, XC1, XC2) or TIOBx. 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 TIOBx is defined as an external event signal (EEVT = 0), TIOBx 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 TIOAx.
When an external event is defined, it can be used as a trigger by setting bit ENETRG in the 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.
38.6.14
Synchronization with PWM
The inputs TIOAx/TIOBx can be bypassed, and thus channel trigger/capture events can be directly driven by the
independent PWM module.
PWM comparator outputs (internal signals without dead-time insertion - OCx), respectively source of the
PWMH/L[2:0] outputs, are routed to the internal TC inputs. These specific TC inputs are multiplexed with TIOA/B
input signal to drive the internal trigger/capture events.
The selection can be programmed in the Extended Mode Register (TC_EMR) fields TRIGSRCA and TRIGSRCB
(see Section 38.7.14 “TC Extended Mode Register”).
Each channel of the TC module can be synchronized by a different PWM channel as described in Figure 38-16.

Output Controller
The output controller defines the output level changes on TIOAx and TIOBx following an event. TIOBx Control is
used only if TIOBx is defined as output (not as an external event).
The following events control TIOAx and TIOBx:
Software Trigger
External Event
RC Compare
RA Compare controls TIOAx, and RB Compare controls TIOBx. Each of these events can be programmed to set,
clear or toggle the output as defined in the corresponding parameter in TC_CMR.
38.6.16
Quadrature Decoder
38.6.16.1
Description
The quadrature decoder (QDEC) is driven by TIOA0, TIOB0, TIOB1 input pins and drives the timer/counter of
channel 0 and 1. Channel 2 can be used as a time base in case of speed measurement requirements (refer to
Figure 38-17).
When writing a 0 to bit QDEN of the TC_BMR, the QDEC is bypassed and the IO pins are directly routed to the
timer counter function.
TIOA0 and TIOB0 are to be driven by the two dedicated quadrature signals from a rotary sensor mounted on the
shaft of the off-chip motor.
A third signal from the rotary sensor can be processed through pin TIOB1 and is typically dedicated to be driven by
an index signal if it is provided by the sensor. This signal is not required to decode the quadrature signals PHA,
PHB.
Field TCCLKS of TC_CMRx must be configured to select XC0 input (i.e., 0x101). Field TC0XC0S has no effect as
soon as the QDEC is enabled.
Either speed or position/revolution can be measured. Position channel 0 accumulates the edges of PHA, PHB
input signals giving a high accuracy on motor position whereas channel 1 accumulates the index pulses of the
sensor, therefore the number of rotations. Concatenation of both values provides a high level of precision on
motion system position.
In Speed mode, position cannot be measured but revolution can be measured.
Inputs from the rotary sensor can be filtered prior to down-stream processing. Accommodation of input polarity,
phase definition and other factors are configurable.
Interruptions can be generated on different events.
A compare function (using TC_RC) is available on channel 0 (speed/position) or channel 1 (rotation) and can
generate an interrupt by means of the CPCS flag in the TC_SRx.

Input Pre-processing
Input pre-processing consists of capabilities to take into account rotary sensor factors such as polarities and phase
definition followed by configurable digital filtering.
Each input can be negated and swapping PHA, PHB is also configurable.
The MAXFILT field in the TC_BMR is used to configure a minimum duration for which the pulse is stated as valid.
When the filter is active, pulses with a duration lower than MAXFILT +1 × tperipheral clock ns are not passed to downstream logic.

Input filtering can efficiently remove spurious pulses that might be generated by the presence of particulate
contamination on the optical or magnetic disk of the rotary sensor.
Spurious pulses can also occur in environments with high levels of electro-magnetic interference. Or, simply if
vibration occurs even when rotation is fully stopped and the shaft of the motor is in such a position that the
beginning of one of the reflective or magnetic bars on the rotary sensor disk is aligned with the light or magnetic
(Hall) receiver cell of the rotary sensor. Any vibration can make the PHA, PHB signals toggle for a short duration.

38.6.16.3
Direction Status and Change Detection
After filtering, the quadrature signals are analyzed to extract the rotation direction and edges of the two quadrature
signals detected in order to be counted by timer/counter logic downstream.
The direction status can be directly read at anytime in the TC_QISR. The polarity of the direction flag status
depends on the configuration written in TC_BMR. INVA, INVB, INVIDX, SWAP modify the polarity of DIR flag.
Any change in rotation direction is reported in the TC_QISR and can generate an interrupt.
The direction change condition is reported as soon as two consecutive edges on a phase signal have sampled the
same value on the other phase signal and there is an edge on the other signal. The two consecutive edges of one
phase signal sampling the same value on other phase signal is not sufficient to declare a direction change, for the
reason that particulate contamination may mask one or more reflective bars on the optical or magnetic disk of the
sensor. Refer to Figure 38-20 for waveforms.

The direction change detection is disabled when QDTRANS is set in the TC_BMR. In this case, the DIR flag report

A quadrature error is also reported by the QDEC via the QERR flag in the TC_QISR. This error is reported if the
time difference between two edges on PHA, PHB is lower than a predefined value. This predefined value is

38.6.16.4
Position and Rotation Measurement
When the POSEN bit is set in the TC_BMR, the motor axis position is processed on channel 0 (by means of the
PHA, PHB edge detections) and the number of motor revolutions are recorded on channel 1 if the IDX signal is
provided on the TIOB1 input. If no IDX signal is available, the internal counter can be cleared for each revolution if
the number of counts per revolution is configured in TC_RC0.RC and the TC_CMR.CPCTRG bit is written to 1.
The position measurement can be read in the TC_CV0 register and the rotation measurement can be read in the
TC_CV1 register.
Channel 0 and 1 must be configured in Capture mode (TC_CMR0.WAVE = 0). ‘Rising edge’ must be selected as
the External Trigger Edge (TC_CMR.ETRGEDG = 0x01) and ‘TIOAx’ must be selected as the External Trigger
(TC_CMR.ABETRG = 0x1).
In parallel, the number of edges are accumulated on timer/counter channel 0 and can be read on the TC_CV0
register.
Therefore, the accurate position can be read on both TC_CV registers and concatenated to form a 32-bit word.
972
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
The timer/counter channel 0 is cleared for each increment of IDX count value.
Depending on the quadrature signals, the direction is decoded and allows to count up or down in timer/counter
channels 0 and 1. The direction status is reported on TC_QISR.
38.6.16.5
Speed Measurement
When SPEEDEN is set in the TC_BMR, the speed measure is enabled on channel 0.
A time base must be defined on channel 2 by writing the TC_RC2 period register. Channel 2 must be configured in
Waveform mode (WAVE bit set) in TC_CMR2. The WAVSEL field must be defined with 0x10 to clear the counter
by comparison and matching with TC_RC value. Field ACPC must be defined at 0x11 to toggle TIOAx output.
This time base is automatically fed back to TIOAx of channel 0 when QDEN and SPEEDEN are set.
Channel 0 must be configured in Capture mode (WAVE = 0 in TC_CMR0). The ABETRG bit of TC_CMR0 must be
configured at 1 to select TIOAx as a trigger for this channel.
EDGTRG must be set to 0x01, to clear the counter on a rising edge of the TIOAx signal and field LDRA must be
set accordingly to 0x01, to load TC_RA0 at the same time as the counter is cleared (LDRB must be set to 0x01).
As a consequence, at the end of each time base period the differentiation required for the speed calculation is
performed.
The process must be started by configuring bits CLKEN and SWTRG in the TC_CCR.
The speed can be read on field RA in TC_RA0.
Channel 1 can still be used to count the number of revolutions of the motor.
38.6.16.6
Detecting a Missing Index Pulse
To detect a missing index pulse due contamination, dust, etc., the TC_SR0.CPCS flag can be used. It is also
possible to assert the interrupt line if the TC_SR0.CPCS flag is enabled as a source of the interrupt by writing a ‘1’
to TC_IER0.CPCS.
The TC_RC0.RC field must be written with the nominal number of counts per revolution provided by the rotary
encoder, plus a margin to eliminate potential noise (e.g., if nominal count per revolution is 1024, then
TC_RC0.RC=1028).
If the index pulse is missing, the timer value is not cleared and the nominal value is exceeded, then the comparator
on the RC triggers an event, TC_SR0.CPCS=1, and the interrupt line is asserted if TC_IER0.CPCS=1.
38.6.17
2-bit Gray Up/Down Counter for Stepper Motor
Each channel can be independently configured to generate a 2-bit Gray count waveform on corresponding TIOAx,
TIOBx outputs by means of the GCEN bit in TC_SMMRx.
Up or Down count can be defined by writing bit DOWN in TC_SMMRx.
It is mandatory to configure the channel in Waveform mode in the TC_CMR.
The period of the counters can be programmed in TC_RCx.

Fault Mode
At any time, the TC_RCx registers can be used to perform a comparison on the respective current channel counter
value (TC_CVx) with the value of TC_RCx register.
The CPCSx flags can be set accordingly and an interrupt can be generated.
This interrupt is processed but requires an unpredictable amount of time to be achieve the required action.
It is possible to trigger the FAULT output of the TIMER1 with CPCS from TC_SR0 and/or CPCS from TC_SR1.
Each source can be independently enabled/disabled in the TC_FMR.
This can be useful to detect an overflow on speed and/or position when QDEC is processed and to act
immediately by using the FAULT output.

Register Write Protection
To prevent any single software error from corrupting TC behavior, certain registers in the address space can be
write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the TC Write Protection Mode Register (TC_WPMR).
The Timer Counter clock of the first channel must be enabled to access TC_WPMR.
The following registers can be write-protected:
TC Block Mode Register
TC Channel Mode Register: Capture Mode
TC Channel Mode Register: Waveform Mode
TC Fault Mode Register
TC Stepper Motor Mode Register
TC Register A
TC Register B
TC Register C

Pulse Width Modulation Controller (PWM)
39.1
Description
The Pulse Width Modulation Controller (PWM) generates output pulses on 4 channels independently according to
parameters defined per channel. Each channel controls two complementary square output waveforms.
Characteristics of the output waveforms such as period, duty-cycle, polarity and dead-times (also called deadbands or non-overlapping times) are configured 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 peripheral clock.
All accesses to the PWM are made through registers mapped on the peripheral bus. All channels integrate a
double buffering system in order to prevent an unexpected output waveform while modifying the period, the spread
spectrum, the duty-cycle or the dead-times.
Channels can be linked together as synchronous channels to be able to update their duty-cycle or dead-times at
the same time.
The update of duty-cycles of synchronous channels can be performed by the DMA Controller channel which offers
buffer transfer without processor Intervention.
The PWM includes a spread-spectrum counter to allow a constantly varying period (only for Channel 0). This
counter may be useful to minimize electromagnetic interference or to reduce the acoustic noise of a PWM driven
motor.
The PWM provides 8 independent comparison units capable of comparing a programmed value to the counter of
the synchronous channels (counter of channel 0). These comparisons are intended to generate software
interrupts, to trigger pulses on the 2 independent event lines (in order to synchronize ADC conversions with a lot of
flexibility independently of the PWM outputs) and to trigger DMA Controllertransfer requests.
PWM outputs can be overridden synchronously or asynchronously to their channel counter.
The PWM provides a fault protection mechanism with 8 fault inputs, capable to detect a fault condition and to
override the PWM outputs asynchronously (outputs forced to ‘0’, ‘1’ or Hi-Z).
For safety usage, some configuration registers are write-protected.

I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the PWM are 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.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
1011
All of the PWM outputs may or may not be enabled. If an application requires only four channels, then only four
PIO lines are assigned to PWM outputs.
39.5.2
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.
39.5.3
Interrupt Sources
The PWM interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the Interrupt Controller. Using the PWM
interrupt requires the Interrupt Controller to be programmed first.
39.5.4
Fault Inputs
The PWM has the fault inputs connected to the different modules. Refer to the implementation of these modules
within the product for detailed information about the fault generation procedure. The PWM receives faults from:

Functional Description
The PWM controller is primarily composed of a clock generator module and 4 channels.
39.6.1
Clocked by the peripheral clock, the clock generator module provides 13 clocks.
Each channel can independently choose one of the clock generator outputs.
Each channel generates an output waveform with attributes that can be defined independently for each
channel through the user interface registers.

The PWM peripheral clock 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 into different blocks:
̶
̶
a modulo n counter which provides 11 clocks: fperipheral clock, fperipheral clock/2, fperipheral clock/4, fperipheral
clock/8, fperipheral clock/16, fperipheral clock/32, fperipheral clock/64, fperipheral clock/128, fperipheral clock/256, fperipheral
clock/512, fperipheral clock/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 Clock register (PWM_CLK). The resulting
clock clkA (clkB) is the clock selected divided by DIVA (DIVB) field value.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
1013
After a reset of the PWM controller, DIVA (DIVB) and PREA (PREB) 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 the peripheral clock. This situation is
also true when the PWM peripheral clock is turned off through the Power Management Controller.
CAUTION:
Before using the PWM controller, the programmer must first enable the peripheral clock in the Power Management
Controller (PMC).

A clock selector which selects one of the clocks provided by the clock generator (described in Section 39.6.1
“PWM Clock Generator”).
A counter clocked by the output of the clock selector. This counter is incremented or decremented according
to the channel configuration and comparators matches. The size of the counter is 16 bits.
A comparator used to compute the OCx output waveform according to the counter value and the
configuration. The counter value can be the one of the channel counter or the one of the channel 0 counter
according to SYNCx bit in the PWM Sync Channels Mode Register (PWM_SCM).
A 2-bit configurable gray counter enables the stepper motor driver. One gray counter drives 2 channels.
A dead-time generator providing two complementary outputs (DTOHx/DTOLx) which allows to drive external
power control switches safely.
An output override block that can force the two complementary outputs to a programmed value
(OOOHx/OOOLx).
An asynchronous fault protection mechanism that has the highest priority to override the two complementary
outputs (PWMHx/PWMLx) in case of fault detection (outputs forced to ‘0’, ‘1’ or Hi-Z).
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
39.6.2.2
Comparator
The comparator continuously compares its counter value with the channel period defined by CPRD in the PWM
Channel Period Register (PWM_CPRDx) and the duty-cycle defined by CDTY in the PWM Channel Duty Cycle
Register (PWM_CDTYx) to generate an output signal OCx accordingly.
The different properties of the waveform of the output OCx are:
the clock selection. The 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 Channel
Mode Register (PWM_CMRx). 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 PWM peripheral clock divided by a given prescaler value “X” (where X = 2PREA is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,
32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024). The resulting period formula is:
( X × CPRD )------------------------------f peripheral clock
By using the PWM peripheral clock divided by a given prescaler value “X” (see above) and by either the
DIVA or the DIVB divider. The formula becomes, respectively:
( X × C RPD × DIVA -)
( X × C RPD × DIVB )
--------------------------------------------------or ---------------------------------------------------f peripheral clock
f peripheral clock
If the waveform is center-aligned, then the output waveform period depends on the counter source clock and
can be calculated:
By using the PWM peripheral clock divided by a given prescaler value “X” (where X = 2PREA is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,
32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024). The resulting period formula is:
(---------------------------------------2 × X × CPRD )
f peripheral clock
By using the PWM peripheral clock divided by a given prescaler value “X” (see above) and by either the
DIVA or the DIVB divider. The formula becomes, respectively:
( 2 × X × C PRD × DIVA )
------------------------------------------------------------or
f peripheral clock
( 2 × X × C PRD × DIVB )
------------------------------------------------------------f peripheral clock
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 bit of PWM_CMRx. 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
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16

generate non-overlapped waveforms. This property is defined in the CALG bit of PWM_CMRx. The default
mode is left-aligned.
Figure 39-4.
Non-Overlapped Center-Aligned Waveforms
No overlap
OC0
OC1
Period
Note:
1.
See Figure 39-5 for a detailed description of center-aligned waveforms.
When center-aligned, the channel counter increases up to CPRD and decreases down to 0. This ends the period.
When left-aligned, the 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.
Modifying CPOL in PWM Channel Mode Register while the channel is enabled can lead to an unexpected
behavior of the device being driven by PWM.
In addition to generating the output signals OCx, the comparator generates interrupts depending on the counter
value. When the output waveform is left-aligned, the interrupt occurs at the end of the counter period. When the
output waveform is center-aligned, the bit CES of PWM_CMRx defines when the channel counter interrupt occurs.
If CES is set to ‘0’, the interrupt occurs at the end of the counter period. If CES is set to ‘1’, the interrupt occurs at
the end of the counter period and at half of the counter period.
Figure 39-5 illustrates the counter interrupts depending on the configuration.

Trigger Selection for Timer Counter
The PWM controller can be used as a trigger source for the Timer Counter (TC) to achieve the two application
examples described below.
Delay Measurement
To measure the delay between the channel x comparator output (OCx) and the feedback from the bridge driver of
the MOSFETs (see Figure 39-6), the bit TCTS in the PWM Channel Mode Register must be at 0. This defines the
comparator output of the channel x as the TC trigger source. The TIOB trigger (TC internal input) is used to start
the TC; the TIOA input (from PAD) is used to capture the delay.

2-bit Gray Up/Down Counter for Stepper Motor
A pair of channels may provide a 2-bit gray count waveform on two outputs. Dead-time generator and other
downstream logic can be configured on these channels.
Up or Down Count mode can be configured on-the-fly by means of PWM_SMMR configuration registers.
When GCEN0 is set to ‘1’, channels 0 and 1 outputs are driven with gray counter.

Dead-Time Generator
The dead-time generator uses the comparator output OCx to provide the two complementary outputs DTOHx and
DTOLx, which allows the PWM macrocell to drive external power control switches safely. When the dead-time
generator is enabled by setting the bit DTE to 1 or 0 in the PWM Channel Mode Register (PWM_CMRx), deadtimes (also called dead-bands or non-overlapping times) are inserted between the edges of the two
complementary outputs DTOHx and DTOLx. Note that enabling or disabling the dead-time generator is allowed
only if the channel is disabled.
The dead-time is adjustable by the PWM Channel Dead Time Register (PWM_DTx). Each output of the dead-time
generator can be adjusted separately by DTH and DTL. The dead-time values can be updated synchronously to
the PWM period by using the PWM Channel Dead Time Update Register (PWM_DTUPDx).
The dead-time is based on a specific counter which uses the same selected clock that feeds the channel counter
of the comparator. Depending on the edge and the configuration of the dead-time, DTOHx and DTOLx are delayed
until the counter has reached the value defined by DTH or DTL. An inverted configuration bit (DTHI and DTLI bit in
PWM_CMRx) is provided for each output to invert the dead-time outputs. The following figure shows the waveform
of the dead-time generator.

Output Override Value Register (PWM_OOV).
The set registers PWM Output Selection Set Register (PWM_OSS) and PWM Output Selection Set Update

same way, the clear registers PWM Output Selection Clear Register (PWM_OSC) and PWM Output Selection
Clear Update Register (PWM_OSCUPD) disable the override of the outputs of a channel regardless of other
channels.
By using buffer registers PWM_OSSUPD and PWM_OSCUPD, the output selection of PWM outputs is done
synchronously to the channel counter, at the beginning of the next PWM period.
By using registers PWM_OSS and PWM_OSC, the output selection of PWM outputs is done asynchronously to
the channel counter, as soon as the register is written.
The value of the current output selection can be read in PWM_OS.
While overriding PWM outputs, the channel counters continue to run, only the PWM outputs are forced to user
defined values.

The polarity level of the fault inputs is configured by the FPOL field in the PWM Fault Mode Register (PWM_FMR).
For fault inputs coming from internal peripherals such as ADC or Timer Counter, the polarity level must be FPOL =
1. For fault inputs coming from external GPIO pins the polarity level depends on the user's implementation.
The configuration of the Fault Activation mode (FMOD field in PWMC_FMR) depends on the peripheral generating
the fault. If the corresponding peripheral does not have “Fault Clear” management, then the FMOD configuration to
use must be FMOD = 1, to avoid spurious fault detection. Refer to the corresponding peripheral documentation for
details on handling fault generation.
Fault inputs may or may not be glitch-filtered depending on the FFIL field in PWM_FMR. When the filter is
activated, glitches on fault inputs with a width inferior to the PWM peripheral clock period are rejected.
A fault becomes active as soon as its corresponding fault input has a transition to the programmed polarity level. If
the corresponding bit FMOD is set to ‘0’ in PWM_FMR, the fault remains active as long as the fault input is at this
polarity level. If the corresponding FMOD field is set to ‘1’, the fault remains active until the fault input is no longer
at this polarity level and until it is cleared by writing the corresponding bit FCLR in the PWM Fault Clear Register
(PWM_FCR). In the PWM Fault Status Register (PWM_FSR), the field FIV indicates the current level of the fault
inputs and the field FIS indicates whether a fault is currently active.
Each fault can be taken into account or not by the fault protection mechanism in each channel. To be taken into
account in the channel x, the fault y must be enabled by the bit FPEx[y] in the PWM Fault Protection Enable
registers (PWM_FPE1). However, synchronous channels (see Section 39.6.2.9 “Synchronous Channels”) do not
use their own fault enable bits, but those of the channel 0 (bits FPE0[y]).
The fault protection on a channel is triggered when this channel is enabled and when any one of the faults that are
enabled for this channel is active. It can be triggered even if the PWM peripheral clock is not running but only by a
fault input that is not glitch-filtered.
When the fault protection is triggered on a channel, the fault protection mechanism resets the counter of this
channel and forces the channel outputs to the values defined by the fields FPVHx and FPVLx in the PWM Fault
Protection Value Register 1 (PWM_FPV) and fields FPZHx/FPZLx in the PWM Fault Protection Value Register 2,
as shown in Table 39-3. The output forcing is made asynchronously to the channel counter.

CAUTION:
To prevent any unexpected activation of the status flag FSy in PWM_FSR, the FMODy bit can be set to ‘1’
only if the FPOLy bit has been previously configured to its final value.
To prevent any unexpected activation of the Fault Protection on the channel x, the bit FPEx[y] can be set to
‘1’ only if the FPOLy bit has been previously configured to its final value.
If a comparison unit is enabled (see Section 39.6.3 “PWM Comparison Units”) and if a fault is triggered in the
channel 0, then the comparison cannot match.
As soon as the fault protection is triggered on a channel, an interrupt (different from the interrupt generated at the
end of the PWM period) can be generated but only if it is enabled and not masked. The interrupt is reset by reading
the interrupt status register, even if the fault which has caused the trigger of the fault protection is kept active.
39.6.2.8
Spread Spectrum Counter
The PWM macrocell includes a spread spectrum counter allowing the generation of a constantly varying duty cycle
on the output PWM waveform (only for the channel 0). This feature may be useful to minimize electromagnetic
interference or to reduce the acoustic noise of a PWM driven motor.
This is achieved by varying the effective period in a range defined by a spread spectrum value which is
programmed by the field SPRD in the PWM Spread Spectrum Register (PWM_SSPR). The effective period of the
output waveform is the value of the spread spectrum counter added to the programmed waveform period CPRD in
the PWM Channel Period Register (PWM_CPRD0).
It will cause the effective period to vary from CPRD-SPRD to CPRD+SPRD. This leads to a constantly varying duty
cycle on the PWM output waveform because the duty cycle value programmed is unchanged.
The value of the spread spectrum counter can change in two ways depending on the bit SPRDM in PWM_SSPR.
If SPRDM = 0, the Triangular mode is selected. The spread spectrum counter starts to count from -SPRD when
the channel 0 is enabled or after reset and counts upwards at each period of the channel counter. When it reaches
SPRD, it restarts to count from -SPRD again.
If SPRDM = 1, the Random mode is selected. A new random value is assigned to the spread spectrum counter at
each period of the channel counter. This random value is between -SPRD and +SPRD and is uniformly distributed.

39.6.2.9
Synchronous Channels
Some channels can be linked together as synchronous channels. They have the same source clock, the same
period, the same alignment and are started together. In this way, their counters are synchronized together.
The synchronous channels are defined by the SYNCx bits in the PWM Sync Channels Mode Register
(PWM_SCM). Only one group of synchronous channels is allowed.
When a channel is defined as a synchronous channel, the channel 0 is also automatically defined as a
synchronous channel. This is because the channel 0 counter configuration is used by all the synchronous
channels.
If a channel x is defined as a synchronous channel, the fields/bits for the channel 0 are used instead of those of
channel x:
CPRE in PWM_CMR0 instead of CPRE in PWM_CMRx (same source clock)
CPRD in PWM_CPRD0 instead of CPRD in PWM_CPRDx (same period)
CALG in PWM_CMR0 instead of CALG in PWM_CMRx (same alignment)
Modifying the fields CPRE, CPRD and CALG of for channels with index greater than 0 has no effect on output
waveforms.
Because counters of synchronous channels must start at the same time, they are all enabled together by enabling
the channel 0 (by the CHID0 bit in PWM_ENA register). In the same way, they are all disabled together by
disabling channel 0 (by the CHID0 bit in PWM_DIS register). However, a synchronous channel x different from
channel 0 can be enabled or disabled independently from others (by the CHIDx bit in PWM_ENA and PWM_DIS
registers).
Defining a channel as a synchronous channel while it is an asynchronous channel (by writing the bit SYNCx to ‘1’
while it was at ‘0’) is allowed only if the channel is disabled at this time (CHIDx = 0 in PWM_SR). In the same way,
defining a channel as an asynchronous channel while it is a synchronous channel (by writing the SYNCx bit to ‘0’
while it was ‘1’) is allowed only if the channel is disabled at this time.
The UPDM field (Update Mode) in the PWM_SCM register selects one of the three methods to update the
registers of the synchronous channels:
Method 1 (UPDM = 0): The period value, the duty-cycle values and the dead-time values must be written by
the processor in their respective update registers (respectively PWM_CPRDUPDx, PWM_CDTYUPDx and
PWM_DTUPDx).The update is triggered at the next PWM period as soon as the bit UPDULOCK in the PWM
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]

1025
Sync Channels Update Control Register (PWM_SCUC) is set to ‘1’ (see “Method 1: Manual write of dutycycle values and manual trigger of the update” ).
Method 2 (UPDM = 1): The period value, the duty-cycle values, the dead-time values and the update period
value must be written by the processor in their respective update registers (respectively PWM_CPRDUPDx,
PWM_CDTYUPDx and PWM_DTUPD). The update of the period value and of the dead-time values is
triggered at the next PWM period as soon as the bit UPDULOCK in the PWM_SCUC register is set to ‘1’.
The update of the duty-cycle values and the update period value is triggered automatically after an update
period defined by the field UPR in the PWM Sync Channels Update Period Register (PWM_SCUP) (see
“Method 2: Manual write of duty-cycle values and automatic trigger of the update” ).
Method 3 (UPDM = 2): Same as Method 2 apart from the fact that the duty-cycle values of ALL synchronous
channels are written by the Peripheral DMA Controller (see “Method 3: Automatic write of duty-cycle values
and automatic trigger of the update” ). The user can choose to synchronize the Peripheral DMA Controller
transfer request with a comparison match (see Section 39.6.3 “PWM Comparison Units”), by the fields
PTRM and PTRCS in the PWM_SCM register. The DMA destination address must be configured to access
only the PWM DMA Register (PWM_DMAR). The DMA buffer data structure must consist of sequentially
repeated duty cycles. The number of duty cycles in each sequence corresponds to the number of
synchronized channels. Duty cycles in each sequence must be ordered from the lowest to the highest
channel index. The size of the duty cycle is 16 bits.

Method 1: Manual write of duty-cycle values and manual trigger of the update
In this mode, the update of the period value, the duty-cycle values and the dead-time values must be done by
writing in their respective update registers with the processor (respectively PWM_CPRDUPDx, PWM_CDTYUPDx
and PWM_DTUPDx).
To trigger the update, the user must use the bit UPDULOCK in the PWM_SCUC register which allows to update
synchronously (at the same PWM period) the synchronous channels:
If the bit UPDULOCK is set to ‘1’, the update is done at the next PWM period of the synchronous channels.
If the UPDULOCK bit is not set to ‘1’, the update is locked and cannot be performed.
After writing the UPDULOCK bit to ‘1’, it is held at this value until the update occurs, then it is read 0.

Method 2: Manual write of duty-cycle values and automatic trigger of the update
In this mode, the update of the period value, the duty-cycle values, the dead-time values and the update period
value must be done by writing in their respective update registers with the processor (respectively
PWM_CPRDUPDx, PWM_CDTYUPDx, PWM_DTUPDx and PWM_SCUPUPD).
To trigger the update of the period value and the dead-time values, the user must use the bit UPDULOCK in the
PWM_SCUC register, which updates synchronously (at the same PWM period) the synchronous channels:
If the bit UPDULOCK is set to ‘1’, the update is done at the next PWM period of the synchronous channels.
If the UPDULOCK bit is not set to ‘1’, the update is locked and cannot be performed.
After writing the UPDULOCK bit to ‘1’, it is held at this value until the update occurs, then it is read 0.
The update of the duty-cycle values and the update period is triggered automatically after an update period.
To configure the automatic update, the user must define a value for the update period by the UPR field in the
PWM_SCUP register. The PWM controller waits UPR+1 period of synchronous channels before updating
automatically the duty values and the update period value.
The status of the duty-cycle value write is reported in the PWM Interrupt Status Register 2 (PWM_ISR2) by the
following flags:
WRDY: this flag is set to ‘1’ when the PWM Controller is ready to receive new duty-cycle values and a new
update period value. It is reset to ‘0’ when the PWM_ISR2 register is read.
Depending on the interrupt mask in the PWM Interrupt Mask Register 2 (PWM_IMR2), an interrupt can be
generated by these flags.
Sequence for Method 2:
1. Select the manual write of duty-cycle values and the automatic update by setting the field UPDM to ‘1’ in
the PWM_SCM register
2.
Define the synchronous channels by the bits SYNCx in the PWM_SCM register.
3.
Define the update period by the field UPR in the PWM_SCUP register.
4.
Enable the synchronous channels by writing CHID0 in the PWM_ENA register.
5.
If an update of the period value and/or of the dead-time values is required, write registers that need to be
updated (PWM_CPRDUPDx, PWM_DTUPDx), else go to Step 8.

values is possible by polling the flag WRDY (or by waiting for the corresponding interrupt) in PWM_ISR2.

Method 3: Automatic write of duty-cycle values and automatic trigger of the update
In this mode, the update of the duty cycle values is made automatically by the Peripheral DMA Controller. The
update of the period value, the dead-time values and the update period value must be done by writing in their
respective update registers with the processor (respectively PWM_CPRDUPDx, PWM_DTUPDx and
PWM_SCUPUPD).
To trigger the update of the period value and the dead-time values, the user must use the bit UPDULOCK which
allows to update synchronously (at the same PWM period) the synchronous channels:
If the bit UPDULOCK is set to ‘1’, the update is done at the next PWM period of the synchronous channels.
If the UPDULOCK bit is not set to ‘1’, the update is locked and cannot be performed.
After writing the UPDULOCK bit to ‘1’, it is held at this value until the update occurs, then it is read 0.
The update of the duty-cycle values and the update period value is triggered automatically after an update period.
To configure the automatic update, the user must define a value for the Update Period by the field UPR in the
PWM_SCUP register. The PWM controller waits UPR+1 periods of synchronous channels before updating
automatically the duty values and the update period value.
Using the Peripheral DMA Controller removes processor overhead by reducing its intervention during the transfer.
This significantly reduces the number of clock cycles required for a data transfer, which improves microcontroller
performance.
The Peripheral DMA Controller must write the duty-cycle values in the synchronous channels index order. For
example if the channels 0, 1 and 3 are synchronous channels, the Peripheral DMA Controller must write the dutycycle of the channel 0 first, then the duty-cycle of the channel 1, and finally the duty-cycle of the channel 3.
The status of the Peripheral DMA Controller transfer is reported in PWM_ISR2 by the following flags:
1028
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
WRDY: this flag is set to ‘1’ when the PWM Controller is ready to receive new duty-cycle values and a new
update period value. It is reset to ‘0’ when PWM_ISR2 is read. The user can choose to synchronize the
WRDY flag and the Peripheral DMA Controller transfer request with a comparison match (see Section
39.6.3 “PWM Comparison Units”), by the fields PTRM and PTRCS in the PWM_SCM register.
ENDTX (not relevant if DMA is used): this flag is set to ‘1’ when a PDC transfer is completed
TXBUFE (not relevant if DMA is used): this flag is set to ‘1’ when the PDC buffer is empty (no pending PDC
transfers)
UNRE: this flag is set to ‘1’ when the update period defined by the UPR field has elapsed while the whole
data has not been written by the Peripheral DMA Controller. It is reset to ‘0’ when PWM_ISR2 is read.
Depending on the interrupt mask in PWM_IMR2, an interrupt can be generated by these flags.
Sequence for Method 3:
1. Select the automatic write of duty-cycle values and automatic update by setting the field UPDM to 2 in the
PWM_SCM register.
2.
Define the synchronous channels by the bits SYNCx in the PWM_SCM register.
3.
Define the update period by the field UPR in the PWM_SCUP register.
4.
Define when the WRDY flag and the corresponding Peripheral DMA Controller transfer request must be set
in the update period by the PTRM bit and the PTRCS field in the PWM_SCM register (at the end of the
update period or when a comparison matches).
5.
Define the Peripheral DMA Controller transfer settings for the duty-cycle values and enable it in the
Peripheral DMA Controller registers
6.
Enable the synchronous channels by writing CHID0 in the PWM_ENA register.
7.
If an update of the period value and/or of the dead-time values is required, write registers that need to be
updated (PWM_CPRDUPDx, PWM_DTUPDx), else go to Step 10.
8.
Set UPDULOCK to ‘1’ in PWM_SCUC.
9.
The update of these registers will occur at the beginning of the next PWM period. At this moment the bit
UPDULOCK is reset, go to Step 7. for new values.
10. If an update of the update period value is required, check first that write of a new update value is possible by
polling the flag WRDY (or by waiting for the corresponding interrupt) in PWM_ISR2, else go to Step 12.
11. Write the register that needs to be updated (PWM_SCUPUPD).
12. The update of this register will occur at the next PWM period of the synchronous channels when the Update
Period is elapsed. Go to Step 10. for new values.If DMA is used: Wait for the DMA status flag indicating that
the buffer transfer is complete. If the transfer has ended, define a new DMA transfer for new duty-cycle
values. Go to Step 5. If PDC is used: Check the end of the PDC transfer by the flag ENDTX. If the transfer
has ended, define a new PDC transfer in the PDC registers for new duty-cycle values. Go to Step 5.

Update Time for Double-Buffering Registers
All channels integrate a double-buffering system in order to prevent an unexpected output waveform while
modifying the period, the spread spectrum value, the polarity, the duty-cycle, the dead-times, the output override,
and the synchronous channels update period.
This double-buffering system comprises the following update registers:
1030
PWM Sync Channels Update Period Update Register
PWM Output Selection Set Update Register
PWM Output Selection Clear Update Register
PWM Spread Spectrum Update Register
PWM Channel Duty Cycle Update Register
PWM Channel Period Update Register
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
PWM Channel Dead Time Update Register
PWM Channel Mode Update Register
When one of these update registers is written to, the write is stored, but the values are updated only at the next
PWM period border. In Left-aligned mode (CALG = 0), the update occurs when the channel counter reaches the
period value CPRD. In Center-aligned mode, the update occurs when the channel counter value is decremented
and reaches the 0 value.
In Center-aligned mode, it is possible to trigger the update of the polarity and the duty-cycle at the next half period
border. This mode concerns the following update registers:
PWM Channel Duty Cycle Update Register
PWM Channel Mode Update Register
The update occurs at the first half period following the write of the update register (either when the channel counter
value is incrementing and reaches the period value CPRD, or when the channel counter value is decrementing
and reaches the 0 value). To activate this mode, the user must write a one to the bit UPDS in the PWM Channel
Mode Register.
39.6.3
PWM Comparison Units
The PWM provides 8 independent comparison units able to compare a programmed value with the current value of
the channel 0 counter (which is the channel counter of all synchronous channels, Section 39.6.2.9 “Synchronous
Channels”). These comparisons are intended to generate pulses on the event lines (used to synchronize ADC, see
Section 39.6.4 “PWM Event Lines”), to generate software interrupts and to trigger Peripheral DMA Controller
transfer requests for the synchronous channels (see “Method 3: Automatic write of duty-cycle values and
automatic trigger of the update” ).

The comparison x matches when it is enabled by the bit CEN in the PWM Comparison x Mode Register
(PWM_CMPMx for the comparison x) and when the counter of the channel 0 reaches the comparison value
defined by the field CV in PWM Comparison x Value Register (PWM_CMPVx for the comparison x). If the counter
of the channel 0 is center-aligned (CALG = 1 in PWM Channel Mode Register), the bit CVM in PWM_CMPVx
defines if the comparison is made when the counter is counting up or counting down (in Left-alignment mode
CALG = 0, this bit is useless).

Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
1031
If a fault is active on the channel 0, the comparison is disabled and cannot match (see Section 39.6.2.7 “Fault
Protection”).
The user can define the periodicity of the comparison x by the fields CTR and CPR in PWM_CMPMx. The
comparison is performed periodically once every CPR+1 periods of the counter of the channel 0, when the value of
the comparison period counter CPRCNT in PWM_CMPMx reaches the value defined by CTR. CPR is the
maximum value of the comparison period counter CPRCNT. If CPR = CTR = 0, the comparison is performed at
each period of the counter of the channel 0.
The comparison x configuration can be modified while the channel 0 is enabled by using the PWM Comparison x
Mode Update Register (PWM_CMPMUPDx registers for the comparison x). In the same way, the comparison x
value can be modified while the channel 0 is enabled by using the PWM Comparison x Value Update Register
(PWM_CMPVUPDx registers for the comparison x).
The update of the comparison x configuration and the comparison x value is triggered periodically after the
comparison x update period. It is defined by the field CUPR in PWM_CMPMx. The comparison unit has an update
period counter independent from the period counter to trigger this update. When the value of the comparison
update period counter CUPRCNT (in PWM_CMPMx) reaches the value defined by CUPR, the update is triggered.
The comparison x update period CUPR itself can be updated while the channel 0 is enabled by using the
PWM_CMPMUPDx register.
CAUTION: The write of PWM_CMPVUPDx must be followed by a write of PWM_CMPMUPDx.
The comparison match and the comparison update can be source of an interrupt, but only if it is enabled and not
masked. These interrupts can be enabled by the PWM Interrupt Enable Register 2 and disabled by the PWM
Interrupt Disable Register 2. The comparison match interrupt and the comparison update interrupt are reset by
reading the PWM Interrupt Status Register 2.

PWM Event Lines
The PWM provides 2 independent event lines intended to trigger actions in other peripherals (e.g., for the Analogto-Digital Converter (ADC)).
A pulse (one cycle of the peripheral clock) is generated on an event line, when at least one of the selected
comparisons is matching. The comparisons can be selected or unselected independently by the CSEL bits in the
PWM Event Line x Register (PWM_ELMRx for the Event Line x).
An example of event generation is provided in Figure 39-20.

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_CPRDUPDx register to update PWM_CPRDx as explained below.
Configuration of the duty-cycle for each channel (CDTY in the PWM_CDTYx register). Writing in

39.6.5.2
Source Clock Selection Criteria
The large number of source clocks can make selection difficult. The relationship between the value in the PWM
Channel Period Register (PWM_CPRDx) and the PWM Channel Duty Cycle Register (PWM_CDTYx) helps the
user select the appropriate clock. The event number written in the Period Register gives the PWM accuracy. The
Duty-Cycle quantum cannot be lower than 1/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 from between 1 up to
14 in PWM_CDTYx. The resulting duty-cycle quantum cannot be lower than 1/15 of the PWM period.
39.6.5.3
Changing the Duty-Cycle, the Period and the Dead-Times
It is possible to modulate the output waveform duty-cycle, period and dead-times.
To prevent unexpected output waveform, the user must use the PWM Channel Duty Cycle Update Register
(PWM_CDTYUPDx), the PWM Channel Period Update Register (PWM_CPRDUPDx) and the PWM Channel
Dead Time Update Register (PWM_DTUPDx) to change waveform parameters while the channel is still enabled.
If the channel is an asynchronous channel (SYNCx = 0 in PWM Sync Channels Mode Register
(PWM_SCM)), these registers hold the new period, duty-cycle and dead-times values until the end of the
current PWM period and update the values for the next period.
If the channel is a synchronous channel and update method 0 is selected (SYNCx = 1 and UPDM = 0 in
PWM_SCM register), these registers hold the new period, duty-cycle and dead-times values until the bit
UPDULOCK is written at ‘1’ (in PWM Sync Channels Update Control Register (PWM_SCUC)) and the end
of the current PWM period, then update the values for the next period.
If the channel is a synchronous channel and update method 1 or 2 is selected (SYNCx = 1 and UPDM = 1 or
2 in PWM_SCM register):
̶
registers PWM_CPRDUPDx and PWM_DTUPDx hold the new period and dead-times values until the
bit UPDULOCK is written at ‘1’ (in PWM_SCUC) and the end of the current PWM period, then update
the values for the next period.

Note:
register PWM_CDTYUPDx holds the new duty-cycle value until the end of the update period of
synchronous channels (when UPRCNT is equal to UPR in PWM Sync Channels Update Period
Register (PWM_SCUP)) and the end of the current PWM period, then updates the value for the next
period.
If the update registers PWM_CDTYUPDx, PWM_CPRDUPDx and PWM_DTUPDx are written several times between
two updates, only the last written value is taken into account.

Changing the Update Period of Synchronous Channels
It is possible to change the update period of synchronous channels while they are enabled. See “Method 2:
Manual write of duty-cycle values and automatic trigger of the update” and “Method 3: Automatic write of dutycycle values and automatic trigger of the update” .
To prevent an unexpected update of the synchronous channels registers, the user must use the PWM Sync
Channels Update Period Update Register (PWM_SCUPUPD) to change the update period of synchronous
channels while they are still enabled. This register holds the new value until the end of the update period of
synchronous channels (when UPRCNT is equal to UPR in PWM_SCUP) and the end of the current PWM period,
then updates the value for the next period.
Note:
Note:
1036
If the update register PWM_SCUPUPD is written several times between two updates, only the last written value is
taken into account.
Changing the update period does make sense only if there is one or more synchronous channels and if the update
method 1 or 2 is selected (UPDM = 1 or 2 in PWM Sync Channels Mode Register).

Changing the Comparison Value and the Comparison Configuration
It is possible to change the comparison values and the comparison configurations while the channel 0 is enabled
(see Section 39.6.3 “PWM Comparison Units”).
To prevent unexpected comparison match, the user must use the PWM Comparison x Value Update Register
(PWM_CMPVUPDx) and the PWM Comparison x Mode Update Register (PWM_CMPMUPDx) to change,
respectively, the comparison values and the comparison configurations while the channel 0 is still enabled. These
registers hold the new values until the end of the comparison update period (when CUPRCNT is equal to CUPR in
PWM Comparison x Mode Register (PWM_CMPMx) and the end of the current PWM period, then update the
values for the next period.
CAUTION: The write of the register PWM_CMPVUPDx must be followed by a write of the register
PWM_CMPMUPDx.
Note:
If the update registers PWM_CMPVUPDx and PWM_CMPMUPDx are written several times between two updates,
only the last written value are taken into account.

Interrupt Sources
Depending on the interrupt mask in PWM_IMR1 and PWM_IMR2, an interrupt can be generated at the end of the
corresponding channel period (CHIDx in the PWM Interrupt Status Register 1 (PWM_ISR1)), after a fault event
(FCHIDx in PWM_ISR1), after a comparison match (CMPMx in PWM_ISR2), after a comparison update (CMPUx
in PWM_ISR2) or according to the Transfer mode of the synchronous channels (WRDY, ENDTX, TXBUFE and
UNRE in PWM_ISR2).
If the interrupt is generated by the flags CHIDx or FCHIDx, the interrupt remains active until a read operation in
PWM_ISR1 occurs.
If the interrupt is generated by the flags WRDY or UNRE or CMPMx or CMPUx, the interrupt remains active until a
read operation in PWM_ISR2 occurs.
A channel interrupt is enabled by setting the corresponding bit in PWM_IER1 and PWM_IER2. A channel interrupt
is disabled by setting the corresponding bit in PWM_IDR1 and PWM_IDR2.

Register Write Protection
To prevent any single software error that may corrupt PWM behavior, the registers listed below can be writeprotected by writing the field WPCMD in the PWM Write Protection Control Register (PWM_WPCR). They are
divided into six groups:
Register group 0:
Register group 1:
̶
̶
PWM Clock Register
PWM Disable Register
Register group 2:
̶
PWM Sync Channels Mode Register
̶
PWM Channel Mode Register
̶
PWM Stepper Motor Mode Register
̶
PWM Channel Mode Update Register
Register group 3:

PWM Fault Protection Value Register 1
There are two types of write protection:
SW write protection—can be enabled or disabled by software
HW write protection—can be enabled by software but only disabled by a hardware reset of the PWM
controller
Both types of write protection can be applied independently to a particular register group by means of the WPCMD
and WPRGx fields in PWM_WPCR. If at least one type of write protection is active, the register group is writeprotected. The value of field WPCMD defines the action to be performed:
0: Disables SW write protection of the register groups of which the bit WPRGx is at ‘1’
1: Enables SW write protection of the register groups of which the bit WPRGx is at ‘1’
2: Enables HW write protection of the register groups of which the bit WPRGx is at ‘1’
At any time, the user can determine whether SW or HW write protection is active in a particular register group by
the fields WPSWS and WPHWS in the PWM Write Protection Status Register (PWM_WPSR).
If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS flag in PWM_WPSR is set and the field
WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been attempted.
The WPVS and WPVSRC fields are automatically cleared after reading PWM_WPSR.

UPDULOCK
• UPDULOCK: Synchronous Channels Update Unlock
0: No effect
1: If the UPDM field is set to ‘0’ in PWM Sync Channels Mode Register, writing the UPDULOCK bit to ‘1’ triggers the update
of the period value, the duty-cycle and the dead-time values of synchronous channels at the beginning of the next PWM
period. If the field UPDM is set to ‘1’ or ‘2’, writing the UPDULOCK bit to ‘1’ triggers only the update of the period value and
of the dead-time values of synchronous channels.
This bit is automatically reset when the update is done.

• SPRD: Spread Spectrum Limit Value
The spread spectrum limit value defines the range for the spread spectrum counter. It is introduced in order to achieve constant varying PWM period for the output waveform.
• SPRDM: Spread Spectrum Counter Mode
0: Triangular mode. The spread spectrum counter starts to count from -SPRD when the channel 0 is enabled and counts
upwards at each PWM period. When it reaches +SPRD, it restarts to count from -SPRD again.
1: Random mode. The spread spectrum counter is loaded with a new random value at each PWM period. This random
value is uniformly distributed and is between -SPRD and +SPRD.

This register can only be written if bits WPSWS2 and WPHWS2 are cleared in the PWM Write Protection Status Register.
This register acts as a double buffer for the CPOL value. This prevents an unexpected waveform when modifying the polarity value.
• CPOLUP: Channel Polarity Update
The write of this bit is taken into account only if the bit CPOLINVUP is written at ‘0’ at the same time.
0: The OCx output waveform (output from the comparator) starts at a low level.
1: The OCx output waveform (output from the comparator) starts at a high level.
• CPOLINVUP: Channel Polarity Inversion Update
If this bit is written at ‘1’, the write of the bit CPOLUP is not taken into account.
0: No effect.
1: The OCx output waveform (output from the comparator) is inverted.

High Speed Multimedia Card Interface (HSMCI)
40.1
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 Peripheral DMA
Controller (PDC) Channels, 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 MultiMedia Card bus (up to 30 Cards) or with an SD Memory
Card. 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_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.
40.8
High Speed MultiMedia Card Operations
After a power-on reset, the cards are initialized by a special message-based High Speed MultiMedia Card bus
protocol. Each message is represented by one of the following tokens:
1098
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.
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
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 40-6 on page 1099.
High Speed MultiMedia Card 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 predefined block count (see Section 40.8.2 “Data Transfer Operation”).
The HSMCI provides a set of registers to perform the entire range of High Speed MultiMedia Card operations.
40.8.1
Command - Response Operation
After reset, the HSMCI is disabled and becomes valid after setting the MCIEN bit in the 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 MultiMedia Card 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_ARGR contains the argument field of the command.
To send a command, the user must perform the following steps:
Fill the argument register (HSMCI_ARGR) with the command argument.
Set the command register (HSMCI_CMDR) (see Table 40-7).
The command is sent immediately after writing the command register.
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 Status Register (HSMCI_SR) is asserted
when the card releases the busy indication.
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.

40.8.2
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 Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC). If the PDCMODE bit is
set in HSMCI_MR, then all reads and writes use the PDC facilities.
In all cases, the block length (BLKLEN field) must be defined either in the HSMCI Mode Register (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 predefined 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 predefined block count, the host must correctly
program the HSMCI Block Register (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.
40.8.3
Read Operation
The following flowchart (Figure 40-8) shows how to read a single block with or without use of PDC facilities. In this
example, a polling method is used to wait for the end of read. Similarly, the user can configure the HSMCI Interrupt
Enable Register (HSMCI_IER) to trigger an interrupt at the end of read.

Notes:
1. A 4.7 µF or higher ceramic capacitor must be connected between VDDIN and the closest GND pin of the device.
This large decoupling capacitor is mandatory to reduce startup current, improving transient response and noise rejection.
2. To ensure stability, an external 2.2 µF output capacitor, CDOUT must be connected between the VDDOUT and the closest
GND pin of the device. The ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the capacitor must be in the range 0.1Ω to 10Ω.
Solid tantalum and multilayer ceramic capacitors are all suitable as output capacitor.
A 100 nF bypass capacitor between VDDOUT and the closest GND pin of the device helps decrease output noise and
improves the load transient response.
3. Defined as the current needed to charge external bypass/decoupling capacitor network.

Power Consumption
Power consumption of the device depending on the different Low-Power mode Capabilities (Backup, Wait,
Sleep) and Active mode.
Power consumption on power supply in different modes: Backup, Wait, Sleep and Active.
Power consumption by peripheral: calculated as the difference in current measurement after having enabled
then disabled the corresponding clock.
All power consumption values are based on characterization. Note that these values are not covered by test
limits in production.

Crystal Oscillator Design Considerations Information
46.4.8.1
Choosing a Crystal
When choosing a crystal for the 32.768 kHz Slow Clock Oscillator or for the 3–20 MHz oscillator, several
parameters must be taken into account. Important parameters between crystal and SAM4E specifications are as
follows:
Load Capacitance
Ccrystal is the equivalent capacitor value the oscillator must “show” to the crystal in order to oscillate at the
target frequency. The crystal must be chosen according to the internal load capacitance (CLOAD) of the onchip oscillator. Having a mismatch for the load capacitance will result in a frequency drift.
Drive Level
Crystal Drive Level ≥ Oscillator Drive Level. Having a crystal drive level number lower than the oscillator
specification may damage the crystal.
Equivalent Series Resistor (ESR)
Crystal ESR ≤ Oscillator ESR Max. Having a crystal with ESR value higher than the oscillator may cause the
oscillator to not start.
Shunt Capacitance
Max. Crystal Shunt Capacitance ≤ Oscillator Shunt Capacitance (CSHUNT). Having a crystal with ESR value
higher than the oscillator may cause the oscillator to not start.
46.4.8.2
Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
SAM4E oscillators are low-power oscillators requiring particular attention when designing PCB systems.

ADC Bias Current
All current consumption is performed when the field IBCTL in the AFEC Control Register (AFEC_ACR) is set to 01.
IBCTL controls the ADC biasing current, with the nominal setting IBCTL = 01.
IBCTL = 01 is the default configuration suitable for a sampling frequency of up to 1 MHz. If the sampling frequency
is below 500 kHz, IBCTL = 00 can also be used to reduce the current consumption.

External Reference Voltage
VADVREF is an external reference voltage applied on the pin ADVREF. The quality of the reference voltage VADVREF
is critical to the performance of the ADC. A DC variation of the reference voltage VADVREF is converted to a gain
error by the ADC. The noise generated by VADVREF is converted by the ADC to count noise.

46.7.4
ADC Transfer Function
The first operation of the ADC is a sampling function relative to a common mode voltage. The common mode
voltage (VCM) is equal to VADVREF/2 when the bits OFFx = 1, in Differential and in Single-ended mode. When the
bits OFFx = 0, sampling is done versus VADVREF/4 for gain = 2, and VADVREF/8 for gain = 4, in Single-ended mode
only.
The code in AFEC_CDR is a 12-bit positive integer. The internal DAC is set for the code 2047.
46.7.4.1
Differential Mode
A differential input voltage VI = VI+ - VI- can be applied between two selected differential pins, e.g., AD0 and AD1.
The ideal code Ci is calculated by using the following formula and rounding the result to the nearest positive
integer.
4096
Ci = ----------------------- × V I × Gain + 2047
V ADVREF
Table 46-31 is a computation example for the above formula, where VADVREF = 3V.

Single-ended Mode
Figure 46-17 illustrates the ADC output code relative to an input voltage VI between 0V (Ground) and VADVREF. The
ADC is configured in Single-ended mode by connecting internally the negative differential input to VADVREF/2. As
the ADC continues to work internally in Differential mode, the offset is measured at VADVREF/2.

10-bit ADC Mode
In 10-bit mode, the ADC produces 12-bit output but the output data in AFEC_CDR is shifted two bits to the right,
removing the two LSBs of the 12-bit ADC.
The gain and offset have the same values as for 12-bit mode, with digital full-scale output code range reduced to
1024 (vs 4096).
The INL and DNL have the same values as for 12-bit mode.
The dynamic performances are the 12-bit mode values, reduced by 12 dB.

Low Voltage Supply
The ADC operates in 10-bit mode or 12-bit mode. Working at low voltage (VDDIN or/and VADVREF) between 2 and
2.4V is subject to the following restrictions:
The field IBCTL must be 00 to reduce the biasing of the ADC under low voltage. See Section 46.7.1.1 “ADC
Bias Current”.
In 10-bit mode, the ADC clock should not exceed 5 MHz (max signal bandwidth is 250 kHz).
In 12-bit mode, the ADC clock should not exceed 2 MHz (max signal bandwidth is 100 kHz).

RON is typical 2 kΩ and 8 kΩ max (worst case process and high temperature)
RON is negligible regarding the value of Zi
The following formula is used to calculate input impedance:

Z i = ---------------fS × Ci
where:
fS is the sampling frequency of the ADC channel
Typ values are used to compute ADC input impedance Zi

During the tracking phase, the ADC needs to track the input signal during the tracking time shown below:
tTRACK = 0.054 × ZSOURCE + 205
with tTRACK expressed in ns and ZSOURCE expressed in Ω.
The ADC already includes a tracking time of 15 tCP_ADC
Two cases must be considered:
46.7.5.4
If the calculated tracking time (tTRACK) is lower than 15 tCP_ADC, then AFEC_MR.TRACKTIM can be set to 0.
If the calculated tracking time (tTRACK) is higher than 15 tCP_ADC, then AFEC_MR.TRACKTIM must be set to
the correct value.

46.10 Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is connected to channel 15 of the ADC.
The temperature sensor provides an output voltage (VO_TS) that is proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT).
VO_TS linearly varies with a temperature slope dVO_TS/dT = 4.7 mV/°C.
VO_TS equals 1.44V at TA 27°C, with a ±60 mV accuracy. The VO_TS slope versus temperature dVO_TS/dT = 4.7
mV/°C only shows a ±7% slight variation over process, mismatch and supply voltage.
The user needs to calibrate it (offset calibration) at ambient temperature to eliminate the VO_TS spread at ambient
temperature (±15%).

SPI Characteristics
In Figure 46-21 “SPI Master Mode with (CPOL = NCPHA = 0) or (CPOL = NCPHA = 1)” and Figure 46-22 “SPI
Master Mode with (CPOL = 0 and NCPHA = 1) or (CPOL = 1 and NCPHA = 0)” below, the MOSI line shifting edge
is represented with a hold time = 0. However, it is important to note that for this device, the MISO line is sampled
prior to the MOSI line shifting edge. As shown in Figure 46-20 “MISO Capture in Master Mode”, the device
sampling point extends the propagation delay (tp) for slave and routing delays to more than half the SPI clock
period, whereas the common sampling point allows only less than half the SPI clock period.
As an example, an SPI Slave working in Mode 0 is safely driven if the SPI Master is configured in Mode 0.

Maximum SPI Frequency
The following formulas give the maximum SPI frequency in Master read and write modes and in Slave read and
write modes.
Master Write Mode
The SPI only sends data to a slave device such as an LCD, for example. The limit is given by SPI2 (or SPI5)
timing. Since it gives a maximum frequency above the maximum pad speed (see Section 46.11.2 “I/O
Characteristics”), the maximum SPI frequency is defined by the pin FreqMax value.
Master Read Mode
1
f SPCK Max = ------------------------------------------------------SPI 0 ( or SPI 3 ) + t valid
tvalid is the slave time response to output data after detecting an SPCK edge. For a non-volatile memory with
tvalid (or tV) = 12 ns Max, fSPCKMax = 43.4 MHz @ VDDIO = 3.3V.
Slave Read Mode
In slave mode, SPCK is the input clock for the SPI. The maximum SPCK frequency is given by setup and
hold timings SPI7/SPI8(or SPI10/SPI11). Since this gives a frequency well above the pad limit, the limit in
slave read mode is given by SPCK pad.
Slave Write Mode
1
f SPCK Max = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2x ( S PI 6max ( or SPI 9max ) + t setup )
For 3.3V I/O domain and SPI6, fSPCKMax = 21 MHz. tSETUP is the setup time from the master before sampling
data.

Embedded Flash Characteristics
The embedded flash is fully tested during production test. The flash contents are not set to a known state prior to
shipment. Therefore, the flash contents should be erased prior to programming an application.
The maximum operating frequency given in Table 46-67 is limited by the Embedded Flash access time when the
processor is fetching code out of it. The table provides the device maximum operating frequency defined by the
value of field FWS in the EEFC_FMR. This field defines the number of wait states required to access the
Embedded Flash Memory.

50.1.1
Watchdog
50.1.1.1
Watchdog Not Stopped in Wait Mode
When the Watchdog is enabled and the bit WAITMODE = 1 is used to enter Wait mode, the watchdog is not
halted. If the time spent in Wait mode is longer than the Watchdog time-out, the device will be reset if Watchdog
reset is enabled.
Problem Fix/Workaround
When entering Wait mode, the Wait For Event (WFE) instruction of the processor Cortex-M4 must be used with
the SLEEPDEEP bit of the System Control Register (SCB_SCR) of the Cortex-M = 0.
50.1.2
Brownout Detector
50.1.2.1
Unpredictable Behavior if BOD is Disabled, VDDCORE is Lost and VDDIO is Connected
In Active mode or in Wait mode, if the Brownout Detector is disabled (SUPC_MR.BODDIS = 1) and power is lost
on VDDCORE while VDDIO is powered, the device might not be properly reset and may behave unpredictably.
Problem Fix/Workaround
When the Brownout Detector is disabled in Active or in Wait mode, VDDCORE always needs to be powered.
50.1.3
Flash
50.1.3.1
Flash: Incorrect Flash Read May Occur Depending on VDDIO Voltage and Flash Wait State
Flash read issues leading to wrong instruction fetch or incorrect data read may occur under the following operating
conditions:
VDDIO < 2.4V and Flash wait state(1) ≥ 1
If the core clock frequency does not require the use of the Flash wait state (2) (FWS = 0 in EEFC_FMR), or if only
data reads are performed on the Flash (e.g., if the code is running out of SRAM), there are no constraints on
1416
SAM4E Series [DATASHEET]
Atmel-11157H-ATARM-SAM4E16-SAM4E8-Datasheet_31-Mar-16
VDDIO voltage. The usable voltage range for VDDIO is defined in Table 46-2 “DC Characteristics” in Section 46.
“SAM4E Electrical Characteristics”.
Notes:
1. Defined in FWS field in EEFC_FMR.
2. See “Embedded Flash Characteristics” in Section 46. “SAM4E Electrical Characteristics” for the maximum core
clock frequency at zero (0) wait state.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Two workarounds are available:
Reduce the device speed to decrease the number of wait states to 0.
Copy the code from Flash to SRAM at 0 wait states and then run the code out of SRAM.
50.1.4
Floating Point Unit (FPU)
50.1.4.1
FPU: IXC flag interrupt
The FPU exhibits six exceptions that are logically ORed and connected to the interrupt controller. If the IXC
(Inexact result) flag occurrence is frequent, this leads to a very high rate of interrupts which severely affects FPU
performance.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Disable the FPU Error interrupt. After each FPU operation, check whether an error occurred by polling the FPU
Status register (FPSCR).
