General description
The GD32E230xx device belongs to the value line of GD32 MCU family. It is a new 32-bit
general-purpose microcontroller based on the ARM® Cortex®-M23 core. The Cortex-M23
processor is an energy-efficient processor with a very low gate count. It is intended to be used
for microcontroller and deeply embedded applications that require an area-optimized
processor. The processor delivers high energy efficiency through a small but powerful
instruction set and extensively optimized design, providing high-end processing hardware
including a single-cycle multiplier and a 17-cycle divider.
The GD32E230xx device incorporates the ARM® Cortex®-M23 32-bit processor core
operating at up to 72 MHz frequency with Flash accesses 0~2 wait states to obtain maximum
efficiency. It provides up to 64 KB embedded Flash memory and up to 8 KB SRAM memory.
An extensive range of enhanced I/Os and peripherals connected to two APB buses. The
devices offer one 12-bit ADC and one comparator, up to five general 16-bit timers, a basic
timer, a PWM advanced timer, as well as standard and advanced communication interfaces:
up to two SPIs, two I2Cs, two USARTs, and an I2S.
The device operates from a 1.8 to 3.6 V power supply and available in –40 to +85 °C
temperature range. Several power saving modes provide the flexibility for maximum
optimization between wakeup latency and power consumption, an especially important
consideration in low power applications.
The above features make the GD32E230xx devices suitable for a wide range of applications,
especially in areas such as industrial control, motor drives, user interface, power monitor and
alarm systems, consumer and handheld equipment, gaming and GPS, E-bike and so on.

Functional description
3.1
ARM® Cortex®-M23 core
The Cortex-M23 processor is an energy-efficient processor with a very low gate count. It is
intended to be used for microcontroller and deeply embedded applications that require an
area-optimized processor. The processor is highly configurable enabling a wide range of
implementations from those requiring memory protection and powerful trace technology to
cost sensitive devices requiring minimal area, while delivering outstanding computational
performance and an advanced system response to interrupts.
32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M23 processor core
Up to 72 MHz operation frequency
Single-cycle multiplication and hardware divider
Ultra-low power, energy-efficient operation
Excellent code density
Integrated Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
24-bit SysTick timer
The Cortex®-M23 processor is based on the ARMv8-M architecture and supports both Thumb
and Thumb-2 instruction sets. Some system peripherals listed below are also provided by
Cortex®-M23:
Internal Bus Matrix connected with AHB master, Serial Wire Debug Port and Single-cycle
IO port
3.2
Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
Breakpoint Unit(BPU)
Data Watchpoint and Trace (DWT)
Serial Wire Debug Port
Embedded memory
Up to 64 Kbytes of Flash memory
Up to 8 Kbytes of SRAM with hardware parity checking
64 Kbytes of inner Flash and 8 Kbytes of inner SRAM at most is available for storing programs
and data, and Flash is accessed (read) at CPU clock speed with 0~2 wait states. Table 2-3.
GD32E230xx memory map shows the memory map of the GD32E230xx series of devices,
including code, SRAM, peripheral, and other pre-defined regions.
3.3
Clock, reset and supply management
Internal 8 MHz factory-trimmed RC and external 4 to 32 MHz crystal oscillator
34
GD32E230xx Datasheet
Internal 28 MHz RC oscillator
Internal 40 KHz RC calibrated oscillator and external 32.768 KHz crystal oscillator
Integrated system clock PLL
1.8 to 3.6 V application supply and I/Os
Supply Supervisor: POR (Power On Reset), PDR (Power Down Reset), and low voltage
detector (LVD)
The Clock Control Unit (CCU) provides a range of oscillator and clock functions. These
include speed internal RC oscillator and external crystal oscillator, high speed and low speed
two types. Several prescalers allow the frequency configuration of the AHB and two APB
domains. The maximum frequency of the AHB, APB2 and APB1 domains is 72 MHz/72
MHz/72 MHz. See Figure 2-8. GD32E230xx clock tree for details on the clock tree.
The Reset Control Unit (RCU) controls three kinds of reset: system reset resets the processor
core and peripheral IP components. Power-on reset (POR) and power-down reset (PDR) are
always active, and ensures proper operation starting from 1.71 V and down to 1.67 V. The
device remains in reset mode when VDD is below a specified threshold. The embedded low
voltage detector (LVD) monitors the power supply, compares it to the voltage threshold and
generates an interrupt as a warning message for leading the MCU into security.
Power supply schemes:
VDD range: 1.8 to 3.6 V, external power supply for I/Os and the internal regulator.
Provided externally through VDD pins.
VSSA, VDDA range: 1.8 to 3.6 V, external analog power supplies for ADC, reset blocks,
RCs and PLL. VDDA and VSSA must be connected to VDD and VSS, respectively.
VBAK range: 1.8 to 3.6 V, power supply for RTC, external clock 32 KHz oscillator and
backup registers (through power switch) when VDD is not present.
3.4
Boot modes
At startup, boot pins are used to select one of three boot options:
Boot from main Flash memory (default)
Boot from system memory
Boot from on-chip SRAM
In default condition, boot from main Flash memory is selected. The boot loader is located in
the internal boot ROM memory (system memory). It is used to reprogram the Flash memory
by using USART0 (PA9 and PA10) or USART1 (PA14 and PA15 or PA2 and PA3).
3.5
Power saving modes
The MCU supports three kinds of power saving modes to achieve even lower power
consumption. They are sleep mode, deep-sleep mode, and standby mode. These operating
modes reduce the power consumption and allow the application to achieve the best balance
35
GD32E230xx Datasheet
between the CPU operating time, speed and power consumption.
Sleep mode
In sleep mode, only the clock of CPU core is off. All peripherals continue to operate and
any interrupt/event can wake up the system.
Deep-sleep mode
In deep-sleep mode, all clocks in the 1.2V domain are off, and all of the high speed
crystal oscillator (IRC8M, HXTAL) and PLL are disabled. Only the contents of SRAM and
registers are retained. Any interrupt or wakeup event from EXTI lines can wake up the
system from the deep-sleep mode including the 16 external lines, the RTC alarm, RTC
tamper and timestamp, CMP output, LVD output and USART wakeup. When exiting the
deep-sleep mode, the IRC8M is selected as the system clock.
Standby mode
In standby mode, the whole 1.2V domain is power off, the LDO is shut down, and all of
IRC8M, HXTAL and PLL are disabled. The contents of SRAM and registers (except
backup registers) are lost. There are four wakeup sources for the standby mode,
including the external reset from NRST pin, the RTC alarm, the FWDGT reset, and the
rising edge on WKUP pin.
3.6
Analog to digital converter (ADC)
12-bit SAR ADC's conversion rate is up to 2 MSPS
12-bit, 10-bit, 8-bit or 6-bit configurable resolution
Hardware oversampling ratio adjustable from 2 to 256x improves resolution to 16-bit
Input voltage range: VSSA to VDDA
Temperature sensor
One 12-bit 2 MSPS multi-channel ADC is integrated in the device. It has a total of 12
multiplexed channels: up to 10 external channels, 1 channel for internal temperature sensor
(VSENSE) and 1 channel for internal reference voltage (VREFINT). The input voltage range is
between VSSA and VDDA. An on-chip hardware oversampling scheme improves performance
while off-loading the related computational burden from the CPU. An analog watchdog block
can be used to detect the channels, which are required to remain within a specific threshold
window. A configurable channel management block can be used to perform conversions in
single, continuous, scan or discontinuous mode to support more advanced use.
The ADC can be triggered from the events generated by the general level 0 timers (TIMERx)
and the advanced timer (TIMER0) with internal connection. The temperature sensor can be
used to generate a voltage that varies linearly with temperature. It is internally connected to
the ADC_IN16 input channel which is used to convert the sensor output voltage in a digital
value.
36
GD32E230xx Datasheet
3.7
DMA
5 channels DMA controller
Peripherals supported: Timers, ADC, SPIs, I2Cs, USARTs and I2S
The flexible general-purpose DMA controllers provide a hardware method of transferring data
between peripherals and/or memory without intervention from the CPU, thereby freeing up
bandwidth for other system functions. Three types of access method are supported:
peripheral to memory, memory to peripheral, memory to memory.
Each channel is connected to fixed hardware DMA requests. The priorities of DMA channel
requests are determined by software configuration and hardware channel number. Transfer
size of source and destination are independent and configurable.
3.8
General-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs)
Up to 39 fast GPIOs, all mappable on 16 external interrupt lines
Analog input/output configurable
Alternate function input/output configurable
There are up to 39 general purpose I/O pins (GPIO) in GD32E230xx, named PA0 ~ PA15 and
PB0 ~ PB15, PC13 ~ PC15, PF0 ~ PF1, PF6 ~ PF7 to implement logic input/output functions.
Each of the GPIO ports has related control and configuration registers to satisfy the
requirements of specific applications. The external interrupts on the GPIO pins of the device
have related control and configuration registers in the Interrupt/event controller (EXTI). The
GPIO ports are pin-shared with other alternative functions (AFs) to obtain maximum flexibility
on the package pins. Each of the GPIO pins can be configured by software as output (pushpull open-drain or analog), as input (with or without pull-up or pull-down) or as peripheral
alternate function. Most of the GPIO pins are shared with digital or analog alternate functions.
All GPIOs are high-current capable except for analog inputs.
3.9
Timers and PWM generation
One 16-bit advanced timer (TIMER0), up to five 16-bit general timers (TIMER2, TIMER13
~ TIMER16), and one 16-bit basic timer (TIMER5)
Up to 4 independent channels of PWM, output compare or input capture for each general
timer and external trigger input
16-bit, motor control PWM advanced timer with programmable dead-time generation for
output match
Encoder interface controller with two inputs using quadrature decoder
24-bit SysTick timer down counter
2 watchdog timers (free watchdog timer and window watchdog timer)
The advanced timer (TIMER0) can be used as a three-phase PWM multiplexed on 6 channels.
37
GD32E230xx Datasheet
It has complementary PWM outputs with programmable dead-time generation. It can also be
used as a complete general timer. The 4 independent channels can be used for input capture,
output compare, PWM generation (edge- or center- aligned counting modes) and single pulse
mode output. If configured as a general 16-bit timer, it has the same functions as the TIMERx
timer. It can be synchronized with external signals or to interconnect with other general timers
together which have the same architecture and features.
The general timer can be used for a variety of purposes including general time, input signal
pulse width measurement or output waveform generation such as a single pulse generation
or PWM output, up to 4 independent channels for input capture/output compare. TIMER2 is
based on a 16-bit auto-reload up/down counter and a 16-bit prescaler. TIMER13 ~ TIMER16
is based on a 16-bit auto-reload up counter and a 16-bit prescaler. The general timer also
supports an encoder interface with two inputs using quadrature decoder.
The basic timer, known as TIMER5 can also be used as a simple 16-bit time base.
The GD32E230xx have two watchdog peripherals, free watchdog and window watchdog.
They offer a combination of high safety level, flexibility of use and timing accuracy.
The free watchdog timer includes a 12-bit down-counting counter and an 8-bit prescaler. It is
clocked from an independent 40 KHz internal RC and as it operates independently of the
main clock, it can operate in deep-sleep and standby modes. It can be used either as a
watchdog to reset the device when a problem occurs, or as a free-running timer for application
timeout management.
The window watchdog is based on a 7-bit down counter that can be set as free-running. It
can be used as a watchdog to reset the device when a problem occurs. It is clocked from the
main clock. It has an early wakeup interrupt capability and the counter can be frozen in debug
mode.
The SysTick timer is dedicated for OS, but could also be used as a standard down counter.
The features are shown below:
3.10
A 24-bit down counter
Auto reload capability
Maskable system interrupt generation when the counter reaches 0
Programmable clock source
Real time clock (RTC)
Independent binary-coded decimal (BCD) format timer/counter with five 32-bit backup
registers.
Calendar with subsecond, second, minute, hour, week day, date, year and month
automatically correction
Alarm function with wake up from deep-sleep and standby mode capability
On-the-fly correction for synchronization with master clock. Digital calibration with 0.954
ppm resolution for compensation of quartz crystal inaccuracy.
38
GD32E230xx Datasheet
The real time clock is an independent timer which provides a set of continuously running
counters in backup registers to provide a real calendar function, and provides an alarm
interrupt or an expected interrupt. It is not reset by a system or power reset, or when the
device wakes up from standby mode. In the RTC unit, there are two prescalers used for
implementing the calendar and other functions. One prescaler is a 7-bit asynchronous
prescaler and the other is a 15-bit synchronous prescaler.
3.11
Inter-integrated circuit (I2C)
Up to two I2C bus interfaces can support both master and slave mode with a frequency
up to 1 MHz (Fast mode plus)
Provide arbitration function, optional PEC (packet error checking) generation and
checking
Supports 7-bit and 10-bit addressing mode and general call addressing mode
Supports SAM_V mode
The I2C interface is an internal circuit allowing communication with an external I2C interface
which is an industry standard two line serial interface used for connection to external
hardware. These two serial lines are known as a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line
(SCL). The I2C module provides different data transfer rates: up to 100 KHz in standard mode,
up to 400 KHz in the fast mode and up to 1 MHz in the fast mode plus. The I2C module also
has an arbitration detect function to prevent the situation where more than one master
attempts to transmit data to the I2C bus at the same time. A CRC-8 calculator is also provided
in I2C interface to perform packet error checking for I2C data.
3.12
Serial peripheral interface (SPI)
Up to two SPI interfaces with a frequency of up to 18 MHz
Support both master and slave mode
Hardware CRC calculation and transmit automatic CRC error checking
Separate transmit and receive 32-bit FIFO with DMA capability (only in SPI1)
Data frame size can be 4 to 16 bits (only in SPI1)
Quad-SPI configuration available in master mode (only in SPI1)
The SPI interface uses 4 pins, among which are the serial data input and output lines (MISO
& MOSI), the clock line (SCK) and the slave select line (NSS). Both SPIs can be served by
the DMA controller. The SPI interface may be used for a variety of purposes, including simplex
synchronous transfers on two lines with a possible bidirectional data line or reliable
communication using CRC checking. Specially, SPI1 has separate transmit and receive 32bit FIFO with DMA capability and its data frame size can be 4 to 16 bits. Quad-SPI master
mode is also supported in SPI1.

Up to two USARTs with operating frequency up to 4.5 MBits/s
Supports both asynchronous and clocked synchronous serial communication modes
IrDA SIR encoder and decoder support
LIN break generation and detection
ISO 7816-3 compliant smart card interface
The USART (USART0, USART1) are used to translate data between parallel and serial
interfaces, provides a flexible full duplex data exchange using synchronous or asynchronous
transfer. It is also commonly used for RS-232 standard communication. The USART includes
a programmable baud rate generator which is capable of dividing the system clock to produce
a dedicated clock for the USART transmitter and receiver. The USART also supports DMA
function for high speed data communication.
3.14
Inter-IC sound (I2S)
One I2S bus Interfaces with sampling frequency from 8 KHz to 192 KHz, multiplexed with
SPI0
Support either master or slave mode
The Inter-IC sound (I2S) bus provides a standard communication interface for digital audio
applications by 3-wire serial lines. GD32E230xx contain an I2S-bus interface that can be
operated with 16/32 bit resolution in master or slave mode, pin multiplexed with SPI0. The
audio sampling frequency from 8 KHz to 192 KHz is supported with less than 0.5% accuracy
error.
3.15
Comparators (CMP)

When System Clock is less than 4 MHz, an external source is used, and the HXTAL bypass function is needed,
no PLL.
When System Clock is greater than 8 MHz, a crystal 8 MHz is used, and the HXTAL bypass function is closed,
using PLL.
When analog peripheral blocks such as ADCs, HXTAL, LXTAL, IRC8M, or IRC40K are ON, an additional power
consumption should be considered.

All pins except PC13 / PC14 / PC15. Since PC13 to PC15 are supplied through the Power Switch, which can
only be obtained by a small current, the speed of GPIOs PC13 to PC15 should not exceed 2 MHz when they
are in output mode(maximum load: 30 pF).

Thermal characteristics
Thermal resistance is used to characterize the thermal performance of the package device,
which is represented by the Greek letter “θ”. For semiconductor devices, thermal resistance
represents the steady-state temperature rise of the chip junction due to the heat dissipated
on the chip surface.
θJA: Thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient.
θJB: Thermal resistance, junction-to-board.
θJC: Thermal resistance, junction-to-case.
ᴪJB: Thermal characterization parameter, junction-to-board.
ᴪJT: Thermal characterization parameter, junction-to-top center.
θJA =(TJ -TA )/PD
(5-1)
θJB =(TJ -TB )/PD
(5-2)
θJC =(TJ -TC )/PD
(5-3)
Where, TJ = Junction temperature.
TA = Ambient temperature
TB = Board temperature
TC = Case temperature which is monitoring on package surface
PD = Total power dissipation
θJA represents the resistance of the heat flows from the heating junction to ambient air. It is
an indicator of package heat dissipation capability. Lower θJA can be considerate as better
overall thermal performance. θJA is generally used to estimate junction temperature.
θJB is used to measure the heat flow resistance between the chip surface and the PCB board.
ΘJC represents the thermal resistance between the chip surface and the package top case.
ΘJC is mainly used to estimate the heat dissipation of the system (using heat sink or other
heat dissipation methods outside the device package).
