Figure 3.1. Interrupt Operation
The interrupt request (IRQ) lines are connected to the Cortex-M3. Each of these lines (shown in Table 3.1 Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ)
on page 13) is connected to one or more interrupt flags in one or more modules. The interrupt flags are set by hardware on an interrupt condition. It is also possible to set/clear the interrupt flags through the IFS/IFC registers. Each interrupt flag is then qualified with its
own interrupt enable bit (IEN register), before being OR'ed with the other interrupt flags to generate the IRQ. A high IRQ line will set the
corresponding pending bit (can also be set/cleared with the SETPEND/CLRPEND bits in ISPR0/ICPR0) in the Cortex-M3 NVIC. The
pending bit is then qualified with an enable bit (set/cleared with SETENA/CLRENA bits in ISER0/ICER0) before generating an interrupt
request to the core. Figure 3.1 Interrupt Operation on page 12 illustrates the interrupt system. For more information on how the interrupts are handled inside the Cortex-M3, the reader is referred to the EFM32 Cortex-M3 Reference Manual.
3.3.1.1 Avoiding Extraneous Interrupts
There can be latencies in the system such that clearing an interrupt flag could take longer than leaving an Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR). This can lead to the ISR being re-entered as the interrupt flag has yet to clear immediately after leaving the ISR. To avoid this,
when clearing an interrupt flag at the end of an ISR, the user should execute ARM's Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB) instruction.
Another approach is to clear the interrupt flag immediately after identifying the interrupt source and then service the interrupt as shown
in the pseudo-code below. The ISR typically is sufficiently long to more than cover the few cycles it may take to clear the interrupt status, and also allows the status to be checked for further interrupts before exiting the ISR.

irqXServiceRoutine() {
do {
clearIrqXStatus();
serviceIrqX();
} while(irqXStatusIsActive());
}

3.3.1.2 IFC Read-clear Operation
In addition to the normal interrupt setting and clearing operations via the IFS/IFC registers, there is an additional atomic Read-clear
operation that can be enabled by setting IFCREADCLEAR=1 in the MSC_CTRL register. When enabled, reads of peripheral IFC registers will return the interrupt vector (mirroring the IF register), while at the same time clearing whichever interrupt flags are set. This operation is functionally equivalent to reading the IF register and then writing the result immediately back to the IFC register.

4.1 Introduction
The EFM32 Jade Gecko contains an AMBA AHB Bus system to allow bus masters to access the memory mapped address space. A
multilayer AHB bus matrix connects the 4 master bus interfaces to the AHB slaves (Figure 4.1 EFM32 Jade Gecko Bus System on
page 14). The bus matrix allows several AHB slaves to be accessed simultaneously. An AMBA APB interface is used for the peripherals, which are accessed through an AHB-to-APB bridge connected to the AHB bus matrix. The 4 AHB bus masters are:
• Cortex-M3 ICode: Used for instruction fetches from Code memory (valid address range: 0x00000000 - 0x1FFFFFFF)
• Cortex-M3 DCode: Used for debug and data access to Code memory (valid address range: 0x00000000 - 0x1FFFFFFF)
• Cortex-M3 System: Used for data and debug access to system space. It can access entire memory space except Code memory
(valid address range: 0x20000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF)
• DMA: Can access entire memory space except internal core memory region and Code memory (valid address range: 0x20000000 0xDFFFFFFF)

Memory and Bus System

Figure 4.3. System Address Space with Peripheral Listing
The embedded SRAM is located at address 0x20000000 in the memory map of the EFM32 Jade Gecko. When running code located in
SRAM starting at this address, the Cortex-M3 uses the System bus interface to fetch instructions. This results in reduced performance
as the Cortex-M3 accesses stack, other data in SRAM and peripherals using the System bus interface. To be able to run code from
SRAM efficiently, the SRAM is also mapped in the code space at address 0x10000000. When running code from this space, the CortexM3 fetches instructions through the I/D-Code bus interface, leaving the System bus interface for data access. The SRAM mapped into
the code space can however only be accessed by the CPU, i.e. not the DMA.

Memory and Bus System
4.2.1 Bit-banding
The SRAM bit-band alias and peripheral bit-band alias regions are located at 0x22000000 and 0x42000000 respectively. Read and
write operations to these regions are converted into masked single-bit reads and atomic single-bit writes to the embedded SRAM and
peripherals of the EFM32 Jade Gecko.
Note: Bit-banding is only available through the CPU. No other AHB masters (e.g., DMA) can perform Bit-banding operations.
Using a standard approach to modify a single register or SRAM bit in the aliased regions, would require software to read the value of
the byte, half-word or word containing the bit, modify the bit, and then write the byte, half-word or word back to the register or SRAM
address. Using bit-banding, this can be done in a single operation, consuming only two bus cycles. As read-writeback, bit-masking and
bit-shift operations are not necessary in software, code size is reduced and execution speed improved.
The bit-band regions allow each bit in the SRAM and Peripheral areas of the memory map to be addressed. To set or clear a bit in the
embedded SRAM, write a 1 or a 0 to the following address:
bit_address = 0x22000000 + (address – 0x20000000) × 32 + bit × 4
where address is the address of the 32-bit word containing the bit to modify, and bit is the index of the bit in the 32-bit word.
To modify a bit in the Peripheral area, use the following address:
bit_address = 0x42000000 + (address – 0x40000000) × 32 + bit × 4

4.2.2 Peripheral Bit Set and Clear
The EFM32 Jade Gecko supports bit set and bit clear access to all peripherals except those listed in Table 4.1 Peripherals that Do Not
Support Bit Set and Bit Clear on page 18. The bit set and bit clear functionality (also called Bit Access) enables modification of bit
fields (single bit or multiple bit wide) without the need to perform a read-modify-write (though it is functionally equivalent). Also, the operation is contained within a single bus access (for HF peripherals), unlike the Bit-banding operation described in section 4.2.1 Bitbanding which consumes two bus accesses per operation. All AHB masters can utilize this feature.
The bit clear aliasing region starts at 0x44000000 and the bit set aliasing region starts at 0x46000000. Thus, to apply a bit set or clear
operation, write the bit set or clear mask to the following addresses:
bit_clear_address = address + 0x04000000
bit_set_address = address + 0x06000000
For bit set operations, bit locations that are 1 in the bit mask will be set in the destination register:
register = (register OR mask)
For bit clear operations, bit locations that are 1 in the bit mask will be cleared in the destination register:
register = (register AND (NOT mask))
Note: It is possible to combine bit clear and bit set operations in order to arbitrarily modify multi-bit register fields, without affecting other
fields in the same register. In this case, care should be taken to ensure that the field does not have intermediate values that can lead to
erroneous behavior. For example, if bit clear and bit set operations are used to change an analog tuning register field from 25 to 26, the
field would initially take on a value of zero. If the analog module is active at the time, this could lead to undesired behavior.
The peripherals listed in Table 4.1 Peripherals that Do Not Support Bit Set and Bit Clear on page 18 do not support Bit Access for any
registers. All other peripherals do support Bit Access, however, there may be cases of certain registers that do not support it. Such
registers have a note regarding this lack of support.

4.2.4 Bus Matrix
The Bus Matrix connects the memory segments to the bus masters as detailed in 4.1 Introduction.

silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 19

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

Memory and Bus System
4.2.4.1 Arbitration
The Bus Matrix uses a round-robin arbitration algorithm which enables high throughput and low latency, while starvation of simultaneous accesses to the same bus slave are eliminated. Round-robin does not assign a fixed priority to each bus master. The arbiter does
not insert any bus wait-states during peak interaction. However, one wait state is inserted for master accesses occurring after a prolonged inactive time. This wait state allows for increased power efficiency during master idle time.
4.2.4.2 Access Performance
The Bus Matrix is a multi-layer energy optimized AMBA AHB compliant bus with an internal bandwidth of 4x a single AHB interface.
The Bus Matrix accepts new transfers to be initiated by each master in each cycle without inserting any wait-states. However, the
slaves may insert wait-states depending on their internal throughput and the clock frequency.
The Cortex-M3, DMA Controller, and peripherals (not peripherals in the low frequency clock domain) run on clocks which can be prescaled separately. Clocks and prescaling are described in more detail in 10. CMU - Clock Management Unit .
In general, when accessing a peripheral, the latency in number of HFBUSCLK cycles, not including master arbitration, is given by:
Nbus cycles = Nslave cycles × fHFBUSCLK/fHFPERCLK, best-case write accesses
Nbus cycles = Nslave cycles × fHFBUSCLK/fHFPERCLK + 1, best-case read accesses
Nbus cycles = (Nslave cycles + 1) × fHFBUSCLK/fHFPERCLK - 1, worst-case write accesses
Nbus cycles = (Nslave cycles + 1) × fHFBUSCLK/fHFPERCLK, worst-case read accesses
where Nslave cycles is the number of cycles required to access the particular slave, including any wait cycles introduced by the slave.
Figure 4.4. Bus Access Latency (General Case)
Note that a latency of 1 cycle corresponds to 0 wait states.
Additionally, for back-to-back accesses to the same peripheral, the throughput in number of cycles per transfer is given by:
Nbus cycles = Nslave cycles × fHFBUSCLK/fHFPERCLK, write accesses
Nbus cycles = (Nslave cycles + 1) × fHFBUSCLK/fHFPERCLK, read accesses
Figure 4.5. Bus Access Throughput (Back-to-Back Transfers)
Lastly, in the highest performing case, where HFPERCLK equals HFBUSCLK and the slave doesn't introduce any additional wait
states, the access latency in number of cycles is given by:
Nbus cycles = 1, write accesses
Nbus cycles = 2, read accesses
Figure 4.6. Bus Access Latency (Max Performance)
Note that the cycle counts in the equations above is in terms of the HFBUSCLK. When the core is prescaled from the bus clock, the
core will see a reduced number of latency cycles given by:
Ncore cycles = ceiling( Nbus cycles × fHFCORECLK/fHFBUSCLK )
where master arbitration is not included.

4.2.4.3 Bus Faults
System accesses from the core can receive a bus fault in the following condition(s):
• The core attempts to access an address that is not assigned to any peripheral or other system device. These faults can be enabled
or disabled by setting the ADDRFAULTEN bit appropriately in MSC_CTRL.
• The core attempts to access a peripheral or system device that has its clock disabled. These faults can be enabled or disabled by
setting the CLKDISFAULTEN bit appropriately in MSC_CTRL.
In addition to any condition-specific bus fault control bits, the bus fault interrupt itself can be enabled or disabled in the same way as all
other internal core interrupts.
4.3 Access to Low Energy Peripherals (Asynchronous Registers)
The Low Energy Peripherals are capable of running when the high frequency oscillator and core system is powered off, i.e. in energy
mode EM2 DeepSleep and in some cases also EM3 Stop. This enables the peripherals to perform tasks while the system energy consumption is minimal.
The Low Energy Peripherals are listed in Table 4.3 Low Energy Peripherals on page 19.
All Low Energy Peripherals are memory mapped, with automatic data synchronization. Because the Low Energy Peripherals are running on clocks asynchronous to the high frequency system clock, there are some constraints on how register accesses are performed,
as described in the following sections.
4.3.1 Writing
Every Low Energy Peripheral has one or more registers with data that needs to be synchronized into the Low Energy clock domain to
maintain data consistency and predictable operation. There are two different synchronization mechanisms on the EFM32JG1, immediate synchronization, and delayed synchronization. Immediate synchronization is available for the RTCC and LETIMER, and results in
an immediate update of the target registers. Delayed synchronization is used for the remaining Low Energy Peripherals, and for these
peripherals, a write operation requires 3 positive edges of the clock on the Low Energy Peripheral being accessed. Registers requiring
synchronization are marked "Async Reg" in their description header.
Note: On the Gecko series of devices, all LE peripherals are subject to delayed synchronization.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

Memory and Bus System
4.3.1.1 Delayed Synchronization
After writing data to a register which value is to be synchronized into the Low Energy Peripheral using delayed synchronization, a corresponding busy flag in the _SYNCBUSY register (e.g. LETIMER_SYNCBUSY) is set. This flag is set as long as synchronization is in progress and is cleared upon completion.
Note: Subsequent writes to the same register before the corresponding busy flag is cleared is not supported. Write before the busy flag
is cleared may result in undefined behavior. In general the SYNCBUSY register only needs to be observed if there is a risk of multiple
write access to a register (which must be prevented). It is not required to wait until the relevant flag in the SYNCBUSY register is
cleared after writing a register. E.g., EM2 DeepSleep can be entered directly after writing a register.
See Figure 4.9 Write operation to Low Energy Peripherals on page 22 for an overview of the writing mechanism operation.

4.3.1.2 Immediate Synchronization
In contrast to the peripherals with delayed synchronization, peripherals with immediate synchronization don't experience a delay from a
value is written to it takes effect in the peripheral. They are updated immediately on the peripheral write access. If such a write is done
close to an edge on the clock of the peripheral, the write is delayed to after the clock edge. This will introduce wait-states on the peripheral access.
Peripherals with immediate synchronization each have a SYNCBUSY register. Commands written to a peripheral with immediate synchronization are not executed before the first peripheral clock after the write. In this period, the SYNCBUSY flag for the command register is set, indicating that the command has not yet been performed. Secondly, to maintain compatibility with the Gecko series, the rest
of the SYNCBUSY registers are also present, but these are always 0, indicating that register writes are always safe.
Note: If compatibility with the Gecko series is a requirement for a given application, the rules that apply to delayed synchronization with
respect to SYNCBUSY should also be followed for the peripherals that support immediate synchronization.

4.3.2 Reading
When reading from a Low Energy Peripheral, the data read is synchronized regardless if it originates in the Low Energy clock domain
or High Frequency clock domain. See Figure 4.10 Read operation from Low Energy Peripherals on page 23 for an overview of the
reading operation.
Note: Writing a register and then immediately reading the new value of the register may give the impression that the write operation is
complete. This may not be the case. Please refer to the SYNCBUSY register for correct status of the write operation to the Low Energy
Peripheral.

4.3.3 FREEZE Register
In all Low Energy Peripheral with delayed synchronization there is a _FREEZE register (e.g. RTCC_FREEZE). The
register contains a bit named REGFREEZE. If precise control of the synchronization process is required, this bit may be utilized. When
REGFREEZE is set, the synchronization process is halted allowing the software to write multiple Low Energy registers before starting
the synchronization process, thus providing precise control of the module update process. The synchronization process is started by
clearing the REGFREEZE bit.
Note: The FREEZE register is also present on peripherals with immediate synchronization, but there it has no effect

4.4 Flash
The Flash retains data in any state and typically stores the application code, special user data and security information. The Flash
memory is typically programmed through the debug interface, but can also be erased and written to from software.
• Up to 256 KB of memory
• Page size of 2048 bytes (minimum erase unit)
• Minimum 10K erase cycles endurance
• Greater than 10 years data retention at 85°C
• Lock-bits for memory protection
• Data retention in any state

Memory and Bus System
4.5 SRAM
The primary task of the SRAM memory is to store application data. Additionally, it is possible to execute instructions from SRAM, and
the DMA may be set up to transfer data between the SRAM, Flash and peripherals.
• Up to 32 KB of memory
• Bit-band access support
• Set of RAM blocks may be powered down when not in use
• Data retention of the entire memory in EM0 Active to EM3 Stop
The SRAM memory may be split among two or more different AHB slaves (e.g., RAM0, RAM1, ...) in order to allow simultaneous access to different sections of the memory from two different AHB masters. For example, the Cortex-M3 can access RAM0 while the DMA
controller accesses RAM1 in parallel. See Figure 4.1 EFM32 Jade Gecko Bus System on page 14 for AHB slave connectivity details.

The Debug Interface is used to program and debug
EFM32 Jade Gecko devices.
Why?
The Debug Interface makes it easy to re-program
and update the system in the field, and allows debugging with minimal I/O pin usage.
How?
The Cortex-M3 supports advanced debugging features. EFM32 Jade Gecko devices can use a minimum of two port pins for debugging or programming.
The internal and external state of the system can be
examined with debug extensions supporting instruction or data access break and watch points.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 61

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

DBG - Debug Interface
5.3.1 Debug Pins
The following pins are the debug connections for the device:
• Serial Wire Clock Input and Test Clock Input (SWCLKTCK) : This pin is enabled after reset and has a built-in pull down.
• Serial Wire Data Input/Output and Test Mode Select Input (SWDIOTMS) : This pin is enabled after reset and has a built-in pull-up.
• Test Data Output (TDO): This pin is disabled after reset.
• Test Data Input (TDI): This pin is disabled after reset. Once enabled, the pin has a built-in pull-up.
The debug pins have pull-down and pull-up enabled by default, so leaving them enabled may increase the current consumption if left
connected to supply or ground. The debug pins can be enabled and disabled through GPIO_ROUTE_PEN, see 26.3.4.2.3 Disabling
Debug Connections. Please remember that upon disabling the debug pins, debug contact with the device is lost once the DAPSWJ
power request bits are deasserted. If enabling the JTAG pins, the part must be power cycled to enable a SWD debug session.
5.3.2 Debug and EM2 DeepSleep/EM3 Stop
Leaving the debugger connected when issuing a WFI or WFE to enter EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop will make the system enter a special EM2 DeepSleep. This mode differs from regular EM2 DeepSleep and EM3 Stop in that the high frequency clocks are still enabled,
and certain core functionality is still powered in order to maintain debug-functionality. Because of this, the current consumption in this
mode is closer to EM1 Sleep and it is therefore important to deassert the power requests in the DAPSWJ and disconnect the debugger
before doing current consumption measurements.
5.3.3 Authentication Access Point
The Authentication Acces Point (AAP) is a set of registers that provide a minimal amount of debugging and system level commands.
The AAP registers contain commands to issue a FLASH erase, a system reset, a CRC of user code pages, and stalling the system bus.
The user must program the APSEL bit field to 255 inside of the ARM DAPSWJ Debug Port SELECT register to access the AAP. The
AAP is only accessible from a debugger and not from the core.
5.3.3.1 Command Key
The AAP uses a command key to enable the DEVICEERASE and SYSRESETREQ AAP commands. The command key must be written with the correct key in order for the commands to execute.
5.3.3.2 Device Erase
The device can be erased by writing AAP_CMDKEY followed by writing the DEVICEERASE register bit. Upon writing the command bit,
the ERASEBUSY bit is asserted. The ERASEBUSY bit will be de-asserted once the erase is complete. The SYSRESETREQ bit must
then be set to resume a normal debugger session. The DEVICEERASE register is available at all times through the AAP once the
CMDKEY is enetered.
5.3.3.3 System Reset
The system can be reset by writing AAP_CMDKEY followed by writing the SYSRESTREQ register bit. This must be done afer asserting
DEVICEERASE or CRCREQ. Depending on the reset level setting for system reset, asserting SYSRESETREQ will either reset the entire AAP register space or just the SYSRESETREQ bit. See 8.3.1 Reset levels for more details on reset levels. The SYSRESETREQ
register is available at all times through the AAP once the CMDKEY is enetered.
5.3.3.4 System Bus Stall
The system bus can be stalled at any time using the SYSBUSSTALL register bit. Once the SYSBUSSTALL is set, the system bus will
remain stalled until SYSBUSSTALL is cleared. While the system bus is stalled, only the registers inside the Cortex-M3, AAP and the
debugger can be accessed. The SYSBUSSTALL register is available at all times through the AAP.
5.3.3.5 User Flash Page CRC
The CRCREQ command initiates a CRC calculation on a given Flash Page. The CRC is only available on the Main, User Data, and
Lock Bit pages. It is highly recommended that the system bus is stalled before any CRCREQ commands are issued. The CRC calculation uses the on chip CRC block configured in 32 bit CRC mode. The Flash Page address for the CRCREQ command is written to the
CRCADDR register. After issuing the CRCREQ, the CRCBUSY flag is asserted. Once the CRCBUSY flag is de-asserted, the resulting
page CRC can be found in the CRCRESULT register. Once issuing a CRC command, the CPU is stalled and remains stalled until a
system reset occurs. Multiple CRC requests can occur before resetting the system. However, a CRC request that occurs while the
CRCBUSY flag is asserted will be ignored. The CRC registers are available at all times through the AAP.

DBG - Debug Interface
5.3.4 Debug Lock
The debug access to the Cortex-M3 is locked by clearing the Debug Lock Word (DLW) and resetting the device, see 6.3.2 Lock Bits
(LB) Page Description.
When debug access is locked, the debugger can access the DAPSWJ and AAP registers. However, the connection to the Cortex-M3
core and the whole bus-system is blocked. This mechanism is controlled by the Authentication Access Port (AAP) as illustrated by
Figure 5.1 AAP - Authentication Access Port on page 63.

DLW[3:0] == 0xF

SW-DP

Authentication
Access Port
(AAP)

Cortex

AHB-AP

Figure 5.1. AAP - Authentication Access Port
If the DLW is cleared, the device is locked. If the device is locked and the the AAP Lock Word (ALW) has not been cleared, it can be
unlocked by writing a valid key to the AAP_CMDKEY register and then setting the DEVICEERASE bit of the AAP_CMD register via the
debug interface. This operation erases the main block of flash, clears all lock bits, and debug access to the Cortex-M3 and bus-system
is enabled. The operation takes tens of mili seconds to complete. Note that the SRAM contents will also be deleted during a device
erase, while the UD-page is not erased.
The debugger may read the status of the device erase from the AAP_STATUS register. When the ERASEBUSY bit is set low after
DEVICEERASE of the AAP_CMD register is set, the debugger may set the SYSRESETREQ bit in the AAP_CMD register. After reset,
the debugger may resume a normal debug session through the AHB-AP.
5.3.5 AAP Lock
Take extreme caution when using this feature. Once the AAP has been locked, the state of the FLASH can not be changed via the
debugger.
5.3.6 Debugger reads of actionable registers
Some peripheral registers cause particular actions when read, e.g FIFOs which pop and IFC registers which clear the IF flags when
read. This can cause problems when debugging and the user wants to read the value without triggering the read action. For this reason, by default, the peripherals will not execute these triggered actions when an attached debugger is performing the read accesses
through the AAP. To override this behavior, the debugger can configure the MASTERTYPE bitfield of the Cortex-M3 AHB Access Port
CSW register in order to emulate a core access when performing system bus transfers.
Note: Registers with actionable reads are noted in their register descriptions. Please refer to Table 1.1 Register Access Types on page
2.

DBG - Debug Interface
5.3.7 Debug Recovery
Debug recovery is the ability to stall the system bus before the Cortex-M3 executes code. For example, the first few instructions may
disconnect the debugger pins. When this occurs it is difficult to connect the debugger and halt the Cortex-M3 before the Cortex-M3
starts to execute. By holding down pin reset, issuing the System Bus Stall AAP instruction, then releasing pin reset, the debugger can
stall the system bus before the Cortex-M3 has a chance to execute. Because the system is under reset during this procedure the Debugger can not look for ACK's from the part. Once the system bus is stalled, the FLASH can be erased by issuing the AAP_CMDKEY
and then the writting the DEVICEERASE in the AAP_CMD register.

The MSC allows the application code, user data and
flash lock bits to be stored in non-volatile Flash
memory. Certain memory system functions, such as
program memory wait-states and bus faults are also
configured from the MSC peripheral register interface, giving the developer the ability to dynamically
customize the memory system performance, security level, energy consumption and error handling capabilities to the requirements at hand.
How?
The MSC integrates a low-energy Flash IP with a
charge pump, enabling minimum energy consumption while eliminating the need for external programming voltage to erase the memory. An easy to use
write and erase interface is supported by an internal,
fixed-frequency oscillator and autonomous flash timing and control reduces software complexity while
not using other timer resources.
Application code may dynamically scale between
high energy optimization and high code execution
performance through advanced read modes.
A highly efficient low energy instruction cache reduces the number of flash reads significantly, thus
saving energy. Performance is also improved when
wait-states are used, since many of the wait-states
are eliminated. Built-in performance counters can be
used to measure the efficiency of the instruction
cache.

6.1 Introduction
The Memory System Controller (MSC) is the program memory unit of the EFM32 Jade Gecko microcontroller. The flash memory is
readable and writable from both the Cortex-M3 and DMA. The flash memory is divided into two blocks; the main block and the information block. Program code is normally written to the main block. Additionally, the information block is available for special user data and
flash lock bits. There is also a read-only page in the information block containing system and device calibration data, and bootloader.
Read and write operations are supported in the energy modes EM0 Active and EM1 Sleep.

There are 32 page lock bits per page lock word (PLW). Bit 0 refers to the first page and bit 31 refers to the last page within a PLW.
Thus, PLW[0] contains lock bits for page 0-31 in the main block, PLW[1] contains lock bits for page 32-63 etc. A page is locked when
the bit is 0. A locked page cannot be erased or written.
Word 127 is the debug lock word (DLW). The four LSBs of this word are the debug lock bits. If these bits are 0xF, then debug access is
enabled. Debug access to the core is disabled from power-on reset until the DLW is evaluated immediately before the Cortex-M3 starts
execution of the user application code. If the bits are not 0xF, then debug access to the core remains blocked.
Word 126 is the user page lock word (ULW). Bit 0 of this word is the User Data Page lock bit. Bit 1 in this word locks the Lock Bits
Page. The lock bits can be reset by a device erase operation initiated from the Authentication Access Port (AAP) registers. The AAP is
described in more detail in 5.3.3 Authentication Access Point. Note that the AAP is only accessible from the debug interface, and cannot be accessed from the Cortex-M3 core.
Word 125 is the mass erase lock word (MLW). Bit 0 locks the entire flash. The mass erase lock bits will not have any effect on device
erases initiated from the Authenitcation Access Port (AAP) registers. The AAP is described in more detail in 5.3.3 Authentication Access Point.
Word 124 is the Authentication Access Port (AAP) lock word (ALW) and the four LSBs of this word are the lock bits. If these bits are
0xF, then AAP access is enabled. If the bits are not 0xF, AAP is disabled and it is impossible to access the device through the AAP.
NOTE - locking AAP is irreversible. Once AAP is locked, it will be impossible to perform an external mass erase and AAP lock
cannot be reset. The only way to program the device when AAP is locked is through a boot loader or by SW already loaded into the
FLASH.
Word 122 is configuration word Zero. Bit[2] is the pinresetsoft bit. Bit[1] is the bootloader enable bit. .
6.3.3 Device Information (DI) Page
This read-only page holds oscillator and ADC calibration data from the production test as well as an unique device ID. The page is

6.3.4 Bootloader
Bootloader is readable by software but not writable. The system is configured to boot from bootloader automatically after system reset.
User can bypass the bootloader by clear bit 1 in config lock word0 (CLW0) in word 122 of lockbit (LB) page.

6.3.6 Post-reset Behavior
Calibration values are automatically written to registers by the MSC before application code startup. The values are also available to
read from the DI page for later reference by software. Other information such as the device ID and production date is also stored in the
DI page and is readable from software.
If bootloader is not bypassed, the system will boot up from the bootloader at address 0x0FE10000.
6.3.7 Flash Startup
On transitions from EM2/3 to EM0, the flash must be powered up. The time this takes depends on the current operating conditions. To
have a deterministic startup-time, set STDLY0 in MSC_STARTUP to 0x64 and clear STDLY1, ASTWAIT, STWSEN and STWS. This will
result in a 10 us delay before the flash is ready. The system will wake up before this, but the Cortex will stall on the first access to the
flash until it is ready. Execute code from RAM or cache to get a quicker startup
To get the fastest possible startup when wakeup, i.e. a startup that depends on the current operating conditions, set STDLY0 to 0x28
and set ASTWAIT in MSC_STARTUP. When configured this way, the system will poll the flash to determine when it is ready, and then
start execution.
For even quicker startup, run code in beginning with a set of wait-states. Set STDLY0 to 0x32, STDLY1 to 0x32, and set ASTWAIT and
STWSEN. Then configure STWS in MSC_STARTUP to the number of waitstates to run with. With this setup, sampling will begin with
the given number of waitstates after 5 us, and the system will run with this number of waitstates for the remaining 5 us before returning
to normal operation
A recommended setting for MSC_STARTUP register is to set STDLY0 to 0x32 for wait 5us and set ASTWAIT to one for active sampling
Set STWSEN to zero to bypass second delay period.
Flash wakeup on demand is supported when wakeup from EM2/3 to EM0. Set bit PWRUPONDEMAND of register MSC_CTRL to one
to enable the power up on demand. When enabled during powerup, flash will enter sleep mode and waiting for either pending flash
read transaction or software command to MSC_CMD.PWRUP bit. If software command wakeup, and interrupt of MSC_IF.PWRUPF will
be flaged if the MSC_IEN.PWRUPF is set

Wait-States

Frequency

WS0

no more than 32 MHz

WS1

above 32 MHz and no more than 40 MHz

6.3.8.1 One Wait-state Access
After reset, the HFCORECLK is normally 19 MHz from the HFRCO and the MODE field of the MSC_READCTRL register is set to WS1
(one wait-state). The reset value must be WS1 as an uncalibrated HFRCO may produce a frequency higher than 32 MHz. Software
must not select a zero wait-state mode unless the clock is guaranteed to be 32 MHz or below, otherwise the resulting behavior is undefined. If a HFCORECLK frequency above 32 MHz is to be set by software, the MODE field of the MSC_READCTRL register must be
set to WS1 or WS1SCBTP before the core clock is switched to the higher frequency clock source.
When changing to a lower frequency, the MODE field of the MSC_READCTRL register must be set to WS0 or WS0SCBTP only after
the frequency transition has completed. If the HFRCO is used, wait until the oscillator is stable on the new frequency. Otherwise, the
behavior is unpredictable.
To run at a frequency higher than 40 MHz, WS2 or WS2SCBTP must be selected to insert two wait-states for every flash access.
6.3.8.2 Zero Wait-state Access
At 32 MHz and below, read operations from flash may be performed without any wait-states. Zero wait-state access greatly improves
code execution performance at frequencies from 32 MHz and below. By default, the Cortex-M3 uses speculative prefetching and IfThen block folding to maximize code execution performance at the cost of additional flash accesses and energy consumption.
6.3.8.3 Operation Above
To run at frequencies higher than 32 MHz, MODE in MSC_READCTRL must be set to WS1 or WS1SCBTP.
6.3.9 Suppressed Conditional Branch Target Prefetch (SCBTP)
MSC offers a special instruction fetch mode which optimizes energy consumption by cancelling Cortex-M3 conditional branch target
prefetches. Normally, the Cortex-M3 core prefetches both the next sequential instruction and the instruction at the branch target address when a conditional branch instruction reaches the pipeline decode stage. This prefetch scheme improves performance while one
extra instruction is fetched from memory at each conditional branch, regardless of whether the branch is taken or not. To optimize for
low energy, the MSC can be configured to cancel these speculative branch target prefetches. With this configuration, energy consumption is more optimal, as the branch target instruction fetch is delayed until the branch condition is evaluated.
The performance penalty with this mode enabled is source code dependent, but is normally less than 1% for core frequencies from 32
MHz and below. To enable the mode at frequencies from 32 MHz and below write WS0SCBTP to the MODE field of the
MSC_READCTRL register. For frequencies above 32 MHz, use the WS1SCBTP mode, and for frequencies above 40 MHz, use the
WS2SCBTP mode. An increased performance penalty per clock cycle must be expected compared to WS0SCBTP mode. The performance penalty in WS1SCBTP/WS2SCBTP mode depends greatly on the density and organization of conditional branch instructions in
the code.
6.3.10 Cortex-M3 If-Then Block Folding
The Cortex-M3 offers a mechanism known as if-then block folding. This is a form of speculative prefetching where small if-then blocks
are collapsed in the prefetch buffer if the condition evaluates to false. The instructions in the block then appear to execute in zero cycles. With this scheme, performance is optimized at the cost of higher energy consumption as the processor fetches more instructions
from memory than it actually executes. To disable the mode, write a 1 to the DISFOLD bit in the NVIC Auxiliary Control Register; see
the Cortex-M3 Technical Reference Manual for details. Normally, it is expected that this feature is most efficient at core frequencies
above 32 MHz. Folding is enabled by default.

MSC - Memory System Controller
6.3.11 Instruction Cache
The MSC includes an instruction cache. The instruction cache for the internal flash memory is enabled by default, but can be disabled
by setting IFCDIS in MSC_READCTRL. When enabled, the instruction cache typically reduces the number of flash reads significantly,
thus saving energy. In most cases a cache hit-rate of more than 70 % is achievable. When a 32-bit instruction fetch hits in the cache the
data is returned to the processor in one clock cycle. Thus, performance is also improved when wait-states are used (i.e. running at
frequencies above 32 MHz).
The instruction cache is connected directly to the ICODE bus on the ARM core and functions as a memory access filter between the
processor and the memory system, as illustrated in Figure 6.2 Instruction Cache on page 75. The cache consists of an access filter,
lookup logic, SRAM, and two performance counters. The access filter checks that the address for the access is to on-chip flash memory
(instructions in RAM are not cached). If the address matches, the cache lookup logic and SRAM is enabled. Otherwise, the cache is
bypassed and the access is forwarded to the memory system. The cache is then updated when the memory access completes. The
access filter also disables cache updates for interrupt context accesses if caching in interrupt context is disabled. The performance
counters, when enabled, keep track of the number of cache hits and misses. The cachelines are filled up continuously one word at a
time as the individual words are requested by the processor. Thus, not all words of a cacheline might be valid at a given time.

Figure 6.2. Instruction Cache
By default, the instruction cache is automatically invalidated when the contents of the flash is changed (i.e. written or erased). In many
cases, however, the application only makes changes to data in the flash, not code. In this case, the automatic invalidate feature can be
disabled by setting AIDIS in MSC_READCTRL. The cache can (independent of the AIDIS setting) be manually invalidated by writing 1
to INVCACHE in MSC_CMD.
In general it is highly recommended to keep the cache enabled all the time. However, for some sections of code with very low cache hitrate more energy-efficient execution can be achieved by disabling the cache temporarily. To measure the hit-rate of a code-section, the
built-in performance counters can be used. Before the section, start the performance counters by writing 1 to STARTPC in MSC_CMD.
This starts the performance counters, counting from 0. At the end of the section, stop the performance counters by writing 1 to
STOPPC in MSC_CMD. The number of cache hits and cache misses for that section can then be read from MSC_CACHEHITS and
MSC_CACHEMISSES respectively. The total number of 32-bit instruction fetches will be MSC_CACHEHITS + MSC_CACHEMISSES.
Thus, the cache hit-ratio can be calculated as MSC_CACHEHITS / (MSC_CACHEHITS + MSC_CACHEMISSES). When MSC_CACHEHITS overflows the CHOF interrupt flag is set. When MSC_CACHEMISSES overflows the CMOF interrupt flag is set. These flags
must be cleared explicitly by software. The range of the performance counters can thus be extended by increasing a counter in the
MSC interrupt routine. The performance counters only count when a cache lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, MSC_CACHEMISSES is increased. If the lookup is successful, MSC_CACHEHITS is increased. For example, a cache lookup is not performed if the cache
is disabled or the code is executed from RAM. When caching of vector fetches and instructions in interrupt routines is disabled (ICCDIS
in MSC_READCTRL is set), the performance counters do not count when these types of fetches occur (i.e. while in interrupt context).
By default, interrupt vector fetches and instructions in interrupt routines are also cached. Some applications may get better cache utilization by not caching instructions in interrupt context. This is done by setting ICCDIS in MSC_READCTRL. You should only set this bit
based on the results from a cache hit ratio measurement. In general, it is recommended to keep the ICCDIS bit cleared. Note that lookups in the cache are still performed, regardless of the ICCDIS setting - but instructions are not cached when cache misses occur inside
the interrupt routine. So, for example, if a cached function is called from the interrupt routine, the instructions for that function will be
taken from the cache.
The cache content is not retained in EM2, EM3 and EM4. The cache is therefore invalidated regardless of the setting of AIDIS in
MSC_READCTRL when entering these energy modes. Applications that switch frequently between EM0 and EM2/3 and executes the
very same non-looping code almost every time will most likely benefit from putting this code in RAM. The interrupt vectors can also be
put in RAM to reduce current consumption even further.

MSC - Memory System Controller
6.3.12 Erase and Write Operations
Both page erase and write operations require that the address is written into the MSC_ADDRB register. For erase operations, the address may be any within the page to be erased. Load the address by writing 1 to the LADDRIM bit in the MSC_WRITECMD register.
The LADDRIM bit only has to be written once when loading the first address. After each word is written the internal address register
ADDR will be incremented automatically by 4. The INVADDR bit of the MSC_STATUS register is set if the loaded address is outside the
flash and the LOCKED bit of the MSC_STATUS register is set if the page addressed is locked. Any attempts to command erase of or
write to the page are ignored if INVADDR or the LOCKED bits of the MSC_STATUS register are set. To abort an ongoing erase, set the
ERASEABORT bit in the MSC_WRITECMD register.
When a word is written to the MSC_WDATA register, the WDATAREADY bit of the MSC_STATUS register is cleared. When this status
bit is set, software or DMA may write the next word.
A single word write is commanded by setting the WRITEONCE bit of the MSC_WRITECMD register. The operation is complete when
the BUSY bit of the MSC_STATUS register is cleared and control of the flash is handed back to the AHB interface, allowing application
code to resume execution.
For a DMA write the software must write the first word to the MSC_WDATA register and then set the WRITETRIG bit of the
MSC_WRITECMD register. DMA triggers when the WDATAREADY bit of the MSC_STATUS register is set.
It is possible to write words twice between each erase by keeping at 1 the bits that are not to be changed. Let us take as an example
writing two 16 bit values, 0xAAAA and 0x5555. To safely write them in the same flash word this method can be used:
• Write 0xFFFFAAAA (word in flash becomes 0xFFFFAAAA)
• Write 0x5555FFFF (word in flash becomes 0x5555AAAA)
Note that there is a maximum of two writes to the same word between each erase due to a physical limitation of the flash.
Note:
During a write or erase, flash read accesses will be stalled, effectively halting code execution from flash. Code execution continues
upon write/erase completion. Code residing in RAM may be executed during a write/erase operation.

6.3.12.1 Mass erase
A mass erase can be initiated from software using ERASEMAIN0 MSC_WRITECMD. This command will start a mass erase of the entire flash. Prior to initiating a mass erase, MSC_MASSLOCK must be unlocked by writing 0x631A to it. After a mass erase has been
started, this register can be locked again to prevent runaway code from accidentally triggering a mass erase.
The regular flash page lock bits will not prevent a mass erase. To prevent software from initiating mass erases, use the mass erase lock
bits in the mass erase lock word (MLW).

Suppress Conditional Branch Target Perfetch

Enable suppressed Conditional Branch Target Prefetch (SCBTP) function. SCBTP saves energy by delaying Cortex-M4
conditional branch target prefetches until the conditional branch instruction is in the execute stage. When the instruction
reaches this stage, the evaluation of the branch condition is completed and the core does not perform a speculative prefetch of both the branch target address and the next sequential address. With the SCBTP function enabled, one instruction
fetch is saved for each branch not taken, with a negligible performance penalty.

Read Mode

After reset, the core clock is 19 MHz from the HFRCO and the MODE field of MSC_READCTRL register is set to WS1. The
reset value is WS1 because the HFRCO may produce a frequency above 19 MHz before it is calibrated. A large wait states
is associated with high frequency. When changing to a higher frequency, this register must be set to a large wait states first
before the core clock is switched to the higher frequency. When changing to a lower frequency, this register should be set
to lower wait states after the frequency transition has been completed. If the HFRCO is used as clock source, wait until the
oscillator is stable on the new frequency to avoid unpredictable behavior.See Flash Wait-States table for the corresponding

The LDMA controller can move data without CPU intervention, effectively reducing the energy consumption for a data transfer.
Why?
Flash

DMA
controller

RAM

The LDMA can perform data transfers more energy
efficiently than the CPU and allows autonomous operation in low energy modes. For example the
LEUART can provide full UART communication in
EM2 DeepSleep, consuming only a few µA by using
the LDMA to move data between the LEUART and
RAM.
How?

Peripherals

The LDMA controller has multiple highly configurable, prioritized DMA channels. A linked list of flexible
descriptors makes it possible to tailor the controller
to the specific needs of an application.

7.1 Introduction
The Linked Direct Memory Access (LDMA) controller performs memory transfer operations independently of the CPU. This has the
benefit of reducing the energy consumption and the workload of the CPU, and enables the system to stay in low energy modes while
still routing data to memory and peripherals. For example, moving data from the LEUART to memory or memory to LEUART. Each of
the DMA channels on the EFM32 can be connected to any of the EFM32 peripherals.

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.3 Functional Description
The Linked DMA Controller is highly flexible. It is capable of transferring data between peripherals and memory without involvement
from the processor core. This can be used to increase system performance by off-loading the processor from copying large amounts of
data or avoiding frequent interrupts to service peripherals needing more data or having available data. It can also be used to reduce the
system energy consumption by making the LDMA work autonomously with EM2 peripherals for data transfer in EM2 DeepSleep without
having to wake up the processor core from sleep.
The Linked DMA Controller has 8 independent channels. Each of these channels can be connected to any of the available peripheral
DMA transfer request input sources by writing to the channel configuration registers, see 7.3.2 Channel Configuration. In addition, each
channel can also be triggered directly by software, which is useful for memory-to-memory transfers.
The channel descriptors determine what the Linked DMA Controller will do when it receives DMA transfer request. The initial descriptor
is written directly to the LDMA's channel registers. If desired, the initial descriptor can link to additional linked descriptors stored in memory (RAM or Flash). Alternatively, software may also load the initial descriptor by writing the descriptor address to the LDMA_CHx_LINK
register and then setting the corresponding bit the LDMA_LINKLOAD register.
Before enabling a channel, the software must take care to properly configure the channel registers including the link address and any
linked descriptors. When a channel is triggered, the Linked DMA Controller will perform the memory transfers as specified by the descriptors. A descriptor contains the memory address to read from, the memory address to write to, link address of the next descriptor,
the number of bytes to be transferred, etc. The channel descriptor is described in detail in 7.3.7 Channel descriptor data structure.
The Linked DMA Controller supports both fixed priority and round robin arbitration. The number of fixed and round robin channels is
programmable. For round robin channels, the number of arbitration slots requested for each channel is programmable. Using this
scheme, it is possible to ensure that timing-critical transfers are serviced on time.
DMA transfers take place by reading a block of data at a time from the source, storing it in the LDMA’s local FIFO, then writing the block
out to the destination from the FIFO. Interrupts may optionally be signaled to the CPU’s interrupt controller at the end of any DMA transfer or at the completion of a descriptor if the DONEIFSEN bit is set. An AHB error will always generate an interrupt.
7.3.1 Channel Descriptor
Each DMA channel has descriptor registers. A transfer can be initialized by software writing to the registers or by the DMA itself copying
a descriptor from RAM to memory. When using a linked list of descriptors the first descriptor should be initialized by the CPU. The DMA
itself will then copy linked descriptors to its descriptor registers as required. In addition to manually initializing the first transfer, software
may also cause the LDMA to load the initial descriptor by writing the descriptor address to the LDMA_CHx_LINK register and then setting the corresponding bit the LDMA_LINKLOAD register.
The contents of the descriptor registers are dynamically updated during the DMA transfer. The contents of descriptors in memory are
not edited by the controller.
Some descriptor field values are only used for linked descriptors. For example, the SRCMODE and DSTMODE bits of the
LDMA_CHx_CTRL registers determine if a linked descriptor is using relative or absolute addressing. Software writes to the address
registers will always use absolute addressing and never set these bits. Therefore, these bits are read only.
7.3.1.1 DMA Transfer Size
A DMA transfer is the smallest unit of data that can be transfered by the LDMA. The LDMA supports byte, half-word and word sized
transfers. The SIZE field in the LDMA_CHx_CTRL register specifies the data width of one DMA transfer.
7.3.1.2 Source/Destination Increments
The SRCINC and DSTINC in the LDMA_CHx_CTRL register determines the increment between DMA transfers. The increment is in
units of DMA transfers and using an increment size of 1 will transfer contiguous bytes, half-words, or words depending on the value of
the SIZE field. Multiple unit increments are useful for transferring or packing/unpacking alligned data. For example using an increment
of 4 with a size of BYTE will transfer word aligned bytes. An increment of 2 units witha size of HALFWORD is suitable for the transfer of
word aligned half-word data. The LDMA can pack also pack or unpack data by using a different increment size for source and destination. For example - to convert from word aligned byte data (unpacked) to contigous byte data (packed), set the SIZE to BYTE, SRCINC
to 4, and DSTINC to 1.
SIZE may also be set to NONE which will cause the LDMA to read or write the same location for every DMA transfer. This is usfull for
accessing peripheral FIFO or data registers.
7.3.1.3 Block Size
The block size defines the amount of data transferred in one arbitration. It consists of one or more DMA transfers. See 7.3.6.1 Arbitration Priority for more details.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.3.1.4 Transfer Count
The descriptor transfer count defines how many DMA transfers to perform. The number of bytes transferred by the descripter will depend on both the transfer count XFERCNT and the SIZE field settings. TOTAL_BYTES = XFERCNT * SIZE
7.3.1.5 Descriptor List
A descriptor list consists of one or more descriptors which are executed in serially. This list may be a simple sequence of descriptors, a
loop of descriptors, or a combination of the two.
Each descriptor in the list can be one of several types.
• Single Transfer descriptor: Transfers TOTAL_BYTES of data and then stops.
• Linked Transfer descriptor: Transfers TOTAL_BYTES of data and then loads the next linked descriptor.
• Loop Transfer descriptor: Transfers TOTAL_BYTES of data and performs loop control (see 7.3.2.2 Loop Counter).
• Sync descriptor: Handle synchronization of the list with other enteties (see 7.3.7.2 SYNC descriptor structure).
• WRI descriptor: Writes a value to a location in memory (see 7.3.7.3 WRI descriptor structure).
7.3.1.6 Addresses
Before initiating a transfer, software should write the source address, destination address, and if applicable the link address to the descriptor registers. Alternatively, software may load a descriptor from memory by writing the descriptor address to the LDMA_CHx_LINK
register and setting the corresponding bit in the LDMA_LINKLOAD register.
During a DMA transfer, the DMA source and destination address registers are pointers to the next transfer address. The LDMA will
update the SRC and DST addresses after each transfer. If software halts a DMA transfer by clearing the enable bit, the SRC and DST
addresses will indicate the next transfer address.
When a desriptor is finished the DMA will either halt or load the next (linked) descriptor depending on the value of the LINK field in the
LDMA_Chx_LINK register. After loading a linked descriptor, the descriptor registers will reflect the content of the loaded descriptor. Note
that the linked descriptor must be word aligned in memory. The two least significant bits of the LDMA_CHx_LINK register are used by
the LINK and LINKMODE bits. The two least significant bits of the link address are always zero.
7.3.1.7 Addressing Modes
The DMA descriptors support absolute addressing or relative addressing. When using relative addressing, the offset is relative to the
current contents of the respective address registers. Regardless of the descriptor addressing modes, the address registers always indicate the absolute address. For example, when loading a descriptor using relative SRC addressing, the LDMA will add the descriptor
source address (offset) to the contents of the SRCADDR register (base address). After loading, the SRCADDR register will indicate the
absolute address of the loaded descriptor.
The initial descriptor must use absolute addressing. The LDMA will ignore the DSTMODE, SRCMODE, and LINKMODE bits for the
initial descriptor and interpret the addresses as an absolute addresses.
Relative addressing is most useful for the link address. The initial descriptor will indicate the absolute address of the linked descriptors
in memory. The linked descriptors might be an array of structures. In this case the offset between descriptors is constant and is always
16 bytes. The LINK address is not incremented or decremented after each transfer. Thus, a relative offset of 0x10 may be used for all
linked descriptors.
The source and destination addresses also support relative addressing. When using relative addressing with the source or destination
address registers, the LDMA adds the relative offset to the current contents of the respective address register. Since the source and
destination addresses are normally incremented after each transfer, the final address will point to one unit past the last transfer. Thus,
an offset of zero will give the next sequential data address.
See the example 7.4.6 2D Copy for an common use of releative addressing.

The next example shows four variations of half-word sized transfers, with all possible combinations of half- and full-word source and
destination increments. Note that when the size and source/destination increments are all configured for half-word, the resulting DMA
transfer organization is equivalent to the full-word sized transfer in the previous example. The difference is that the half-word configuration requires twice as many DMA transfers.

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.3.2 Channel Configuration
Each DMA channel has associated configuration and loop counter registers for controlling direction of address increment , arbitration
slots, and descriptor looping.
7.3.2.1 Address Increment/Decrement
Normally DMA transfers increment the source and destination addresses after each DMA transfer. Each channel is also capable of decrementing the source and/or destination addresses after each DMA transfer. This may be useful for flipping an array or copying data
from tail to head. For example, a data packet might be prepared as an array of data with increasing addresses and then transmitted
from the highest address to the lowest address, from tail to head.
After reset the SRCINCSIGN and DSTINCSIGN bits in the LDMA_CHx_CFG register are cleared causing the source and destination
addresses to increment after each transfer. If the SRCINCSIGN bit is set , the DMA will decrement the source address after each transfer. If the DSTINCSIGN bit in the LDMA_CHx_CFG register is set , the DMA will decrement the destination address after each transfer.
Setting only one of these bits will flip the data. Setting both bits will copy from tail to head, but will not flip the data.
The SRCINCSIGN and DSTINCSIGN bits apply to all descriptors used by that channel. Software should take care to set the starting
source and/or destination address to the highest data address when decrementing.
7.3.2.2 Loop Counter
Each channel has a LDMA_CHx_LOOP register that includes a loop counter field. To use looping, software should initialize the loop
counter with the desired number of repetitions before enabling the transfer. A descriptor with the DECLOOPCNT bit set to TRUE will
repeat the loop and decrement the loop counter until LOOPCNT = 0.
For a looping descriptor, with DECLOOPCNT=1, the LINK address in the LDMA_CHx_LINK register is used as the loop address. While
LOOPCNT is greater than zero, the descriptor will execute and then the LDMA will load the next descriptor using the address specified
in the LDMA_CHx_LINK register. This feature enables looping of multiple descriptors. To repeat a single descriptor, the LINK address of
the descriptor should point to itself.
After LOOPCNT reaches zero, if the LINK bit in the descriptor LINK word is clear the transfer stops. If the LINK bit is set, the LDMA will
load the next sequential descriptor located immediately following the looping descriptor. The behavior of the LINK bit is different for a
looping descriptor. This is necessary because the LINK address is re-purposed as the loop address for a looping descriptor.
Note that LOOPCNT sets the number of repeats, not the number of iterations. The total number of loop iterations will be LOOPCNT
plus 1. Normally, the LOOPCNT should be set to one or more repeats.
Also note that because there is only one LOOPCNT per channel, software intervention is required to update the LOOPCNT if a sequence of transfers contains multiple loops. It is also possible to use a write immediate DMA data transfer to update the
LDMA_CHx_LOOP register.

7.3.3 Channel Select Configuration
The channel select block determines which peripheral request signal connects to each DMA channel.
This configuration is done by software through the SOURCESEL and SIGSEL fields of the LDMA_CHn_REQSEL register. SOURCESEL selects the peripheral and SIGSEL picks which DMA request signals to use from the selected peripheral.
7.3.4 Starting a transfer
A transfer may be started by software, a peripheral request, or a descriptor load.
Software may initiate a transfer by setting the bit for the desired channel in the LDMA_SREQ register. In this case the channel should
set SOURCESEL to NONE to prevent unintentional triggering of the channel by a peripheral.
A peripheral may trigger the channel by configuring the peripheral source and signal as described in 7.3.3 Channel Select Configuration
The LDMA may also be configured to begin a transfer immediatly after a new descriptor is loaded by setting the STRUCTREQ field of
the LDMA_CHx_CTRL register or descriptor word.
This configuration is done by software through the SOURCESEL and SIGSEL fields of the LDMA_CHn_REQSEL register. SOURCESEL selects the peripheral and SIGSEL picks which DMA request signals to use from the selected peripheral.

By default peripherals issue a Single Request (SREQ) when any data is present. For peripherals with a data buffer or FIFO this occurs
any time the FIFO is not empty. Uppon receving an SREQ the LDMA will perform one DMA transfer and stop till another request is
made.
It is generally more efficent to wait for a peripheral to accumulate data and transfer in a burst. This both reduces overhead of the DMA
engine and allows EM2 peripherals to save power by using the LDMA less often. To enable this set the IGNORESREQ bit in the
LDMA_CHx_CTRL register (or descriptor) which will cause the LDMA to ignore SREQ's and wait for a full Request (REQ) signal. When
the REQ is received the entire descriptor will be executed. For most peripherals with a FIFO the REQ signal is set when the FIFO is full,
or a predetermined threshold has been reached. See the individual peripheral chapters for more information.
7.3.5 Managing Transfer Errors
LDMA transfer errors are normally managed using interrupts. Software should clear the ERROR flag in the bit in the LDMA_IF register
and enable error interrupts by setting the ERROR bit in the LDMA_IEN register before initiating a DMA transfer
The LDMA interrupt handler should check the ERROR flag bit in the LDMA_IF register. If the ERROR flag bit is set, it should then read
the CHERROR field in the LDMA_STATUS register to determine the errant channel. The interrupt handler should reset the channel and
clear the ERROR flag bit in the LDMA_IF register before returning.
7.3.6 Arbitration
While multiple channels are configured simultaneously the LDMA engine can only be actively copying data for one channel at a time.
Arbitration determines which channel is being serviced at any point in time. The LDMA will choose a channel through arbitration, transfer BLOCK_SIZE elements of that channel and then arbitrate again choosing another channel to service. This allows high priority channels to be serviced while lower priority channels are in the middle of a transfer.
7.3.6.1 Arbitration Priority
There are two modes in determining priority when the controller arbitrates: fixed priority and round robin priority.
In fixed priority mode, channel 0 has the highest priority. As the channel number increases, the priority decreases. When the LDMA
controller is idle or when a transfer completes, the highest priority channel with an active request is granted the transfer. This mode
guarantees smallest latency for the highest priority requesters. It is best suited for systems where peak bandwidth is well below LDMA
controller’s maximum ability to serve. The drawback of this mode is the possibility of starvation for lowest priority requesters.
In the round robin priority mode, each active requesting channel is serviced in the order of priority. A late arriving request on a higher
priority channel will not get serviced until the next round. This mode minimizes the risk of starving low-priority latency-tolerant requesters. The drawback of this mode is higher risk of starving low-latency requesters.
The NUMFIXED field in the LDMA_CTRL register determines which channels are fixed priority and which are round robin. Channels
lower than NUMFIXED are fixed priority while those above it are round robin. A value of 0x0 implies all channels are round robin. A
value of 0x4 implies channels 0 through 3 are fixed priority and 4 through 7 are round robin. A value of 7 implies that channels 0
through 6 are fixed and channel 7 is round robin. This is functionally equivilent to having 8 fixed priority channels.
Fixed priority channels always take priority over round robin. As long as NUMFIXED is greater than 0, there is a possibility that a higher
priority channel can starve the remaining channels.
To address the drawbacks of using fixed priority or round robin priority the LDMA implements the concept of arbitration slots. This allows for channels to have high bandwidth and low latency while preventing starvation of latency tollerant low priority channels.
Each channel has a two bit ARBSLOT field in its LDM_CHx_CFG register. This field only applies to channels marked as round robin
(determined by NUMFIXED). The channels in the same arbitration slot are treated equally with round robin scheduling. Channels
marked with a higher arbitration slot will get serviced more frequently. By default all channels are placed in arbitration slot 1.
Every time the channels in slot 1 get serviced the channels in slot 2 get servicd twice, thoes in slot 4 get serviced 4 times, and thoes in
slot 8 get serviced 7 times. The specific arbitration allocation can be seen by the following table. The highest arbitration slot is serviced
every other arbitration cycle, allowing for low latency response. If there are no requests from channels in arbitration slot then that slot is
immediately skipped.

The top row shows the order at which the arbitration slots are executed. The remaining part of the table shows a more visual interpretation of the arbitration order.
For example, if we have one low latency channel (CHNL0) and two latency tolerant channels (CHNL1 and CHNL2). We could use the
following settings.
LDMA_CTRL.NUMFIXED = 0; set round robbin for all channels.
CHNL0_CFG.ARBSLOTS = TWO;
CHNL1_CFG.ARBSLOTS = ONE;
CHNL2_CFG.ARBSLOTS = ONE;
If all channels are constantly requesting transfers, then the arbitration order is: CHNL0, CHNL1, CHNL0, CHNL2, CHNL0, CHNL1,
CHNL0, CHNL2, CHNL0, etc
Note, there are no channels assigned to arbitration slot four or eight in this exampl, so thoes slots are skipped and the final sequence is
ARBSLOT2, ARBSLOT1, ARBSLOT2, ARBSLOT1, etc...
Channel 1 and Channel 2 are selected in round robin order when arbitration slot 1 is executed.
If we replace the ARBSLOTS value for channel 0 with EIGHT, then the sequence would look like the following:
CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL1, CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL2, CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL0, CHNL1, etc.

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.3.6.2 DMA Transfer Arbitration
In addition to the inter channel arbitration, software can configure when the controller arbitrates during a DMA transfer. This provides
reduced latency to higher priority channels when configuring low priority transfers with more arbitration cycles.
The LDMA provides four bits that configure how many DMA transfers occur before it re-arbitrates. These bits are known as the BLOCKSIZE bits and they map to the arbitration rate as shown below. For example, if BLOCKSIZE = 4 then the arbitration rate is 6, that is, the
controller arbitrates every 6 DMA transfers.
Table 7.2 AHB bus transfer arbitration interval on page 105 lists the arbitration rates.

Note:
Software must take care not to assign a low-priority channel with a large BLOCKSIZE because this prevents the controller from servicing high-priority requests, until it re-arbitrates.
The number of DMA transfers that need to be done is specified by the user in XFERCNT. When XFERCNT > BLOCKSIZE and is not an
integer multiple of BLOCKSIZE then the controller always performs sequences of BLOCKSIZE transfers until XFERCNT < BLOCKSIZE
remain to be transferred. The controller performs the remaining XFERCNT transfers at the end of the DMA cycle.
Software must store the value of the BLOCKSIZE bits in the channel control data structure. See 7.3.7.1 XFER descriptor structure for
more information about the location of the BLOCKSIZE bits in the data structure.

7.3.7 Channel descriptor data structure
Each channel descriptor consists of four 32-bit words:
• CTRL - control word contains information like transfer count and block size.
• SRC - source address points to where to copy data from
• DST - destination address points to where to copy data to
• LINK - link address points to where to load the next linked descriptor
These words map directly to the LDMA_CHx_CTRL, LDMA_CHx_SRC, LDMA_CHx_DST, and LDMA_CHx_LINK registers. The usage
of the SRC and DST fields may differ depending on the structure type
There are three different types of descriptor data structures: XFER, SYNC, and WRI
7.3.7.1 XFER descriptor structure
This descriptor defines a typical data transfer which may be a Normal, Link, or Loop transfer.
Only this structure type can be written directly into LDMA's registers by the CPU. All descriptors may be linked to. Please refer to the
register descriptions for additional information.
For specifying XFER structure type, set STRUCTTYPE to 0. Please see the peripheral register descriptions for information on the fields
in this structure.

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.3.7.2 SYNC descriptor structure
This descriptor defines an intra-channel synchronizing structure. It allows the channel to wait for some external stimulus before continuing on to the next descriptor. This structure is also used to provide stimulus to another channel to indicate that it may continue.
For example channel 1 may be configured to transfer a header into a buffer while channel 2 is simlutaniously transfering data into the
same structure. When channel 1 has completed it can wait for a sync signal from channel 2 before transfering the now complete buffer
to a peripheral.
Synch descriptors do nothing untill a condition is met. The condition is formed by the SYNCTRIG field in the LDMA_SYNC register and
the MATCHEN and MATCHVAL fields of the descriptor. When (SYNCTRIG & MATCHEN) == (MATCHVAL & MATCHEN) the next descriptor is loaded. In addition to waiting for the condition a Link descriptor can set or clear bits in SYNCTRIG to meet the conditions of
another channel and cause it to continue. The CPU also has the ability to set and clear the SYNCTRIG bits from software.
This structure type can only be linked in from memory.
For specifying SYNC structure type, set STRUCTTYPE to 1.

7.3.8 Interaction with the EMU
The LDMA interacts with the Energy Management Unit (EMU) to allow transfers from a low energy peripheral while in EM2 DeepSleep.
For example, when using the LEUART in EM2 DeepSleep the EMU can wake up the LDMA sufficiently long to allow data transfers to
occur. See section "DMA Support" in the LEUART documentation.

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.3.9 Interrupts
The LDMA_IF Interrupt flag register contains one DONE bit for each channel and one combined ERROR bit. When enabled, these interrupts are available as interrupts to the Cortex-M3 core. They are combined into one interrupt vector, DMA_INT. If the interrupt for the
DMA is enabled in the ARM Cortex-M3 core, an interrupt will be made if one or more of the interrupt flags in LDMA_IF and their
corresponding bits in LDMA_IEN are set.
When a descriptor finishes execution the interrupt flag for that channel will be set if the DONEIFSEN field of the LDMA_CHx_LOOP
register is set. If LINK and DONEIFSEN are both set when the descriptor completes the interrupt and the linked descriptor will be immediatly loaded. When the final descriptor in a linked list (LINK = 0) is finished the interrupt flag is always set regardless of the state of
DONEIFSEN.
7.3.10 Debugging
For a peripheral request DMA transfer, if software sets a bit for a channel in the LDMA_DBGHALT register then the DMA will halt durring a debug halt and the SRC and DST registers in the debug window will show the transfer in progress. Otherwise, during debug halt
the DMA will continue to run and complete the entire transfer causing the descriptor registers to indicate the transfer has completed.
7.4 Examples
This section provides examples of common LDMA usage. All examples assume the LDMA is in the reset state with the channel being
configured disabled and LDAM_CHx_CFG, LDMA_CHx_LOOP, and LDMA_CHx_LINK cleared.
7.4.1 Single Direct Register DMA Transfer
This simple example uses only the Channel Descriptor registers directly and does not use linking. Software writes directly to the LDMA
channel registers. This example does not use a memory based descriptor list.
This example is suitable for most simple transfers that are limited to transferring one block of data. It supports anything that can be
done using a single descriptor. This includes endian conversion and packing/unpacking data. Channel 0 is used for this example.
The LDMA will be used to copy 127 contiguous half words (254 bytes) from 0x0 to 0x1000. It will allow arbitration every 4 transfers and
is triggerd by a CPU write to the LDMA_SWREQ register. The CH0 interrupt flag will be set when the transfer completes since the descriptor does not link to another descriptor.
• Configure LDMA_CH0_CTRL
• DSTMODE = 0 (absolute)
• SRCMODE = 0 (absolute)
• SIZE = HALFWORD (16 bits)
• DSTINC = 0 (1 half-word)
• SRCINC = 0 (1 half-word)
• DECLOOPCNT=0 (unused)
• REQMODE = 1 (one request transfers all data)
• BLOCKSIZE = 3 (4 transfers)
• BYTESWAP=0 (no byte swap)
• XFERCNT=127 (transfer 127 half words)
• STRUCTTPYE=0 (TRANSFER)
• Write source address to LDMA_CH0_SRC register
• Write destination address to LDMA_CH0_DST register
• Configure the LDMA_CH0REQSEL register for the desired peripheral or select none for a memory-to-memory transfer
• Clear and enable interrupts.
• Write a 1 to bit 0 of the LDMA_IFC register to clear the CH0 DONE flag
• Write a 1 to bit 0 of the LDMA_IEN register to enable the CH0 interrupt
• Write a 1 to bit 0 of the LDMA_CHEN register to enable CH0
The REQMODE field is normally cleared to zero for a peripheral request transfer and will transfer the specified block size for each peripheral request. The REQMODE may be set to 1 for a memory-to-memory transfer or any time it is desired for a single DMA request to
initiate complete transfer.

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.4.2 Descriptor Linked List
This example shows how to use a Linked List of descriptors. Each descriptor has a link address which points to the next descriptor in
the list. A descriptor may be removed from the Linked list by altering the Link address of the one before it to point to the one after it.
Descriptor Linked lists are useful when handling an array of buffers for communication data. For example, a bad packet can be removed from a receiver queue by simply removing the descriptor from the linked list.
Software loads the first descriptor into the DMA by writing the descriptor address to LDMA_CHx_LINK and setting the bit for that channel in the LDMA_LINKLOAD register. This method is prefered when using a linked list in memory since it treats the first descriptor just
like all the others. However, it is also allowed acceptable for software to write the first descriptor directoy to the LDMA registers.
In this example 4 descriptors are executed in series. the interrupt flag is set after the 2nd and 4th (last) descriptors have completed.
• Prepare a list of descriptors using the XFER structure type in RAM
• Initialize the CTRL, SRC, and DST members as desired
• Setting STRUCTREQ in the CTRL word for descritpors 2-4 will cause them to begin transfering data as soon as they are loaded.
• Write 0x00000013 to the LINK member of all but the last descriptor
• LINKMODE = 1 (relative addressing)
• LINK = 1 (Link to the next descriptor)
• LINKADDR = 0x00000010 (size of descriptor)
• Set the DONEIFSEN bit in the CTRL member of the 2nd structure so that the interrupt flag will be set when it completes
• Write 0x00000000 to the LINK member of the last descriptor
• LINK = 0 (Do not link to the next descriptor)
• LINKMODE = 0 (don't care)
• LINKADDR = 0x00000000 (don't care)
Each descriptor now points to the start of the next descriptor as shown on the left in Figure 7.5 Descriptor Linked List on page 110. To
remove a descriptor from the linked list modify the LINK address of the descriptor of the one before to point to the one after. For example to remove the third descriptor, add 0x00000010 to the LINK register of the second descriptor. The second descriptor will now point
to the forth descriptor and skip over the third descriptor as shown on the right in Figure 7.5 Descriptor Linked List on page 110.

7.4.3 Single Descriptor Looped Transfer
This example demonstrates how to use looping using a single descriptor. This method allows a single DMA transfer to be repeated a
specified number of times. The looping descriptor is stored in memory and reloaded by hardware. After a specified number of iterations,
the transfer stops.
CH0 is setup to copy 4 words frm the ADC FIFO into a 15 word buffer at 0x1000. It repeates 4 times to fill the entire 16 word buffere. An
interrupt will fire when the entire 16 words has been transfered.
Initialize the Linked descriptor in memory as follows:
• Configure CTRL member
• DSTMODE = 0 (absolute)
• SRCMODE = 0 (absolute)
• SIZE = WORD
• DSTINC = 0 (1 WORD)
• SRCINC = 3 (0 WORDS)
• DECLOOPCNT=1 (decrement loop count)
• REQMODE=1 (Use XFERCNT)
• BLOCKSIZE = 4 (4 words)
• BYTESWAP=0 (no swap)
• XFERCNT= 4 (4 words)
• STRUCTTPYE=0 (TRANSFER)
• IGNORESREQ=1 (ignore single requests)
• Write the address ADC0_SINGLEDATA register to the SRC member
• Write 0x1000 address to DST member
• Configure the LINKLink member
• LINK = 0 (stop after loop)
• MODE = 1 (relative link address)
• LINKADDR = 0 (point to ourself)
• Configure the Channel
• Write the desired number of repeats to the LDMA_CH0_LOOP register
• SOURCESEL in LDMA_CH0REQSEL = ADC0 (select the ADC)
• SIG in LDMA_CH0REQSEL = ADC0SCAN (select the single conversion request)
• Clear and enable interrupts

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
7.4.5 Simple Inter-Channel Synchronization
The LDMA controller features synchronization structures which allow differing channels and/or hardware events to pause a DMA sequence, and wait for a synchronizing event to restart it.
In this example DMA channel 0 and 1 are tasked with the transfer of different sets of data. Channel 0 has two transfer structures, and
channel 1 just one, but channel 0 must wait until channel 1 has completed its transfer before it starts its second transfer structure.
Pausing channel 0 is accomplished by inserting a sync wait structure between the two transfer structures. This sync structure waits on
SYNCTRIG[7] to be set by a sync set/clear structure which is controlled by channel 1. Sync structures do not transfer data, they can
only set, clear, or wait to match the SYNCTRIG[7:0] bits. Note that sync structures cannot decrement loop counter.

Figure 7.8. Simple Intra-channel Synchronization Example
Both A and Y effectively start at the same time. A finishes earlier, then it links to B, which waits for the SYNCTRIG[7] bit to be set before
loading C. Y finishes after B is loaded, and it links to sync structure Z, which sets the SYNCTRIG[7] bit. Channel 0 responds to the
trigger set by loading C for the final data transfer.

7.4.6 2D Copy
The LDMA can easily perform a 2D copy using a descriptor list with looping. This set up is visualized in Figure 7.9 2D copy on page
116.
For an application working with graphics, this would mean the ability to copy a rectangle of a given width and height from one picture to
another.

Figure 7.9. 2D copy
The first descriptor will use absolute addressing mode and the source and destination addresses should point to the desired target addresses. The first descriptor will copy only the first row. The XFERCNT of the first descriptor is set to the desired width minus one.
• CTRL
• XFERCNT = WIDTH - 1
• SRCMD = 0 (absolute)
• DSTMD = 0 (absolute)
• SRCADDR = target source address
• DSTADDR = target destination address
• LINK = 0x00000013
• LINK=1
• LINKMD=1
• LINKADDR=0x00000010 (point to next descriptor)
The second descriptor will use relative addressing and the source and destination addresses are set to the desired offset. After the
completion of the first descriptor, the address registers will point to the last address transferred. Thus, the width must be subtracted
from the stride to get the offset. The second descriptor uses looping and the link register has not offset.

• XFERCNT = WIDTH - 1
• SRCMD = 1 (relative)
• DSTMD = 1 (relative)
• DECLOOPCNT = 1

• LINK = 0x00000001

LDMA - Linked DMA Controller
Because the first descriptor already transferred one row, the number of looping repeats should be the desired height minus two. Therefore, LOOPCNT should be set to HEIGHT minus two before initiating the transfer.
This same method is easily extended to copy multiple rectangles by linking descriptors together. To initialize the LDMA_CHx_LOOP
register, precede each descriptor pair described above with a write immediate descriptor which writes the desired value to the
LOOPCNT field of the LDMA_CHx_LOOP register.

7.4.7 Ping-Pong
Communication peripherals often use ping-pong buffers. Ping-pong buffers allow the CPU to process data in one buffer while a peripheral transmits or receives data in the other buffer.
Both transmit and receive ping-pong buffers are easily implemented using the LDMA. In either case, this requires two descriptors as
shown in Figure 7.10 Infinite Ping-Pong Example on page 118. The LINKADDR field of the LINK member should point to the other
descriptor. Using two adjacent descriptors and relative link addressing ensures the descriptors are easily reloadable.

Figure 7.10. Infinite Ping-Pong Example

A receiver ping-pong buffer controller consists of two buffers and two descriptors stored in memory that point to the two buffers. Once
initialized, as the peripheral receives data, it will fill the first buffer. Once the first buffer is full, it will link automatically to the second
buffer and generate an interrupt. Software will then process the data in the first buffer while the LDMA is transferring data to the second
buffer. For a receiver ping-pong buffer each descriptor should link to the other descriptor. The link bit should be set to provide infinite
ping pong between the two buffers. The DONIFS bit in each descriptor should be set to generate an interrupt on the completion of each
descriptor.
• Descriptor A
• CTRL
• DONEIFS = 1
• other settings as desired
• SRCADDR = peripheral source address
• DSTADDR = memory destination address
• LINK = 0x00000013
• LINKADDR = 0x00000010 (next descriptor)
• LINK = 1 (link to next descriptor)
• LINKMD = 1 (relative addressing)
• Descriptor B
• CTRL
• DONEIFS = 1
• other settings as desired
• SRCADDR = peripheral source address
• DSTADDR = memory destination address
• LINK = 0xFFFFFFF3
• LINKADDR = 0xFFFFFFF0 (previous descriptor)
• LINK = 1 (link to previous descriptor)
• LINKMD = 1 (relative addressing)
For transmitter ping-pong buffer, software will fill the first buffer and then initiate the DMA transfer. The LDMA will transmit the first
buffer data while software is filling the second buffer. In this case, the two descriptors should point to each other, but not automatically
continue to the second buffer. The LINK bit should be cleared to zero. Once software has loaded the first buffer, it will use the

• LINKMD = 1 (relative addressing)
7.4.8 Scatter-Gather
Scatter-Gather in general refers to a process that copies data from multiple locations scattered in memory and gathers the data to a
single location in memory, or vice versa. A simple descriptor list allows data gathering. For example, data from a discontiguous list of
buffers might be copied to a contiguous sequential array of buffers. The inverse is also possible when a sequential array of buffers is
scattered to a discontiguous list of available buffers. See section 7.4.2 Descriptor Linked List.
Some DMAs which only have two descriptors implement scatter-gather by using one descriptor to modify the other descriptor. While it is
possible to implement this same behavior using the LDMA, it is much more straight-forward to just use a simple descriptor list.

The RMU monitors each of the reset sources of the EFM32 Jade Gecko. If one or more reset sources go active, the RMU applies reset
to the EFM32 Jade Gecko. When the reset sources go inactive the EFM32 Jade Gecko starts up. At startup the EFM32 Jade Gecko
loads the stack pointer and program entry point from memory, and starts execution. Figure 8.1 RMU Reset Input Sources and Connections on page 142 shows an overview of the reset system on EFM32 Jade Gecko.

RMU - Reset Management Unit
8.3.2 RMU_RSTCAUSE Register
Whenever a reset source is active, the corresponding bit in the RMU_RSTCAUSE register is set. At startup the program code may
investigate this register in order to determine the cause of the reset. The register is cleared upon POR and software write to
RMU_CMD_RCCLR. The register should be cleared after the value has been read at startup, otherwise the register may indicate multiple causes for the reset at next startup.
RMU_RSTCAUSE should be interpreted according to Table 8.2 RMU Reset Cause Register Interpretation on page 144. In Table
8.2 RMU Reset Cause Register Interpretation on page 144, the reset causes are ordered by severity from right to left. A reset cause bit
is invalidated (i.e. can not be trusted) one of the bits to the right of it does not match the table. X bits are don't care.
Note:
Notice that it is possible to have multiple reset causes. For example, an external reset and a watchdog reset may happen simultaneously.

8.3.3 Power-On Reset (POR)
The POR ensures that the EFM32 Jade Gecko does not start up before the supply voltage VDD has reached the threshold voltage
VPORthr (see Device Datasheet Electrical Characteristics for details). Before the threshold voltage is reached, the EFM32 Jade Gecko
is kept in reset state. The operation of the POR is illustrated in Figure 8.2 RMU Power-on Reset Operation on page 145, with the active
low POWERONn reset signal. The reason for the “unknown” region is that the corresponding supply voltage is too low for any reliable
operation.

RMU - Reset Management Unit
8.3.5 RESETn pin Reset
The pin reset on EFM32 Jade Gecko can be configured to be either hard or soft. By default, pin reset is configured as a soft reset
source. To configure it as a hard reset, clear the PINRESETSOFT bit in CLW0 in the Lock bit page, see 6.3.2 Lock Bits (LB) Page
Description for details. Forcing the RESETn pin low generates a reset of the EFM32 Jade Gecko. The RESETn pin includes an on-chip
pull-up resistor, and can therefore be left unconnected if no external reset source is needed. Also connected to the RESETn line is a
filter which prevents glitches from resetting the EFM32 Jade Gecko.
8.3.6 Watchdog Reset
The Watchdog circuit is a timer which (when enabled) must be cleared by software regularly. If software does not clear it, a Watchdog
reset is activated. This functionality provides recovery from a software stalemate. Refer to the Watchdog section for specifications and
description. The Watchdog reset can be configured to cause different levels of reset as determined by WDOGRMODE in the
RMU_CTRL register.
8.3.7 Lockup Reset
A Cortex-M3 lockup is the result of the core being locked up because of an unrecoverable exception following the activation of the processor’s built-in system state protection hardware.
A Cortex-M3 lockup gives immediate indication of seriously errant kernel software. This is the result of the core being locked up due to
an unrecoverable exception following the activation of the processor’s built in system state protection hardware. For more information
about the Cortex-M3 lockup conditions see the ARMv7-M Architecture Reference Manual. The Lockup reset does not reset the Debug
Interface, unless configured as a FULL reset. The Lockup reset can be configured to cause different levels of reset as determined by
the LOCKUPRMODE bits in the RMU_CTRL register. This includes disabling the reset.
8.3.8 System Reset Request
Software may initiate a reset (e.g. if it finds itself in a non-recoverable state). By asserting the SYSRESETREQ in the Application Interrupt and Reset Control Register, a reset is issued. The SYSRESETREQ does not reset the Debug Interface, unless configured as a
FULL reset. The SYSRESTREQ reset can be configured to cause different levels of reset as determined by SYSRESETRMODE bits in
the RMU_CTRL register. This includes disabling the reset.
8.3.9 Reset state
The RESETSTATE bitfield in RMU_CTRL is a read-write register intended for software use only, and can be used to keep track of state
throughout a reset. This bitfield if only reset by POR and hard pin reset.
8.3.10 Registers with alternate reset
Figure 8.1 RMU Reset Input Sources and Connections on page 142 shows an overview of how the different parts of the design are
affected by the different levels of reset. For RMU, EMU and CMU there are some exceptions. These are given in the following tables.

Quick Facts
What?
The EMU (Energy Management Unit) handles the
different low energy modes in EFM32 Jade Gecko
Why?

0 1 2 3

4

The need for performance and peripheral functions
varies over time in most applications. By efficiently
scaling the available resources in real-time to match
the demands of the application, the energy consumption can be kept at a minimum.
How?
With a broad selection of energy modes, a high
number of low-energy peripherals available even in
EM2 DeepSleep, and short wake-up time (2 µs from
EM2 DeepSleep and EM3 Stop), applications can
dynamically minimize energy consumption during
program execution.

9.1 Introduction
The Energy Management Unit (EMU) manages all the low energy modes (EM) in EFM32 Jade Gecko. Each energy mode manages if
the CPU and the various peripherals are available. The energy modes range from EM0 Active to EM4 Shutoff. EM0 Active mode provides the highest amount of features, enabling the CPU, and peripherals with the highest clock frequency. EM4 Shutoff Mode provides
the lowest power state, allowing the part to return to EM0 Active on a wakeup condition. The EMU also controls the various power
routing configurations, internal regulators settings, and voltage monitoring needed for optimal power configuration and protection.
9.2 Features
The primary features of the EMU are listed below:
• Energy Modes control
• Entry into EM4 Hibernate or EM4 Shutoff
• Configuration of regulators and clocks for each Energy Mode
• Configuration of various EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff wakeup conditions
• Configuration of RAM power and retention settings
• Configuration of GPIO retention settings
• Power routing configurations
• DCDC control
• Internal power switches allowing for extensible system power architecture
• Temperature measurement control and status
• Brown Out Detection
• Voltage Monitoring
• Four dedicated continuous monitor channels
• Optional monitor features include interrupt generation, low power mode wakeup, and EM4 Entry
• State Retention

Figure 9.1. EMU Overview
The EMU is available on the peripheral bus. The energy management state machine controls the internal voltage regulators, oscillators,
memories, and interrupt system. Events, interrupts, and resets can trigger the energy management state machine to return to the active
state. This is further described in the following sections.
The power architecture is highly configurable to meet system power performance needs. Several external power configurations are
supported. The EMU allows flexible control of internal DCDC, Digital LDO Regulator, and internal power switching.

9.3.1 Energy Modes
EFM32 Jade Gecko features six main energy modes, referred to as Energy Mode 0 (EM0 Active) through Energy Mode 4 (EM4 Shutoff). The Cortex-M3 is only available for program execution in EM0 Active. In EM0 Active/EM1 Sleep any peripheral function can be
enabled. EM2 DeepSleep through EM4 Shutoff, also referred to as low energy modes, provide a significantly reduced energy consumption while still allowing a rich set of peripheral functionality. The following Table 9.1 table on page 158 shows the possible transitions
between different energy modes.

The ADC, and LEUART have the ability to temporarily wake up the part from either EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop to EM1 Sleep in order
to transfer data. Once completed, the part is automatically placed back into the EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop mode.
The Core can always request to go to EM1 Sleep with the WFI or WFE command during EM0 Active. The core will be prevented from
entering EM2 DeepSleep, EM3 Stop, EM4 Hibernate, or EM4 Shutoff if Flash is programming or erasing.
An overview of supported energy modes and available functionality is shown in Table 9.2 Table 2. EMU Energy Mode Overview on
page 158. By default, the system is configured in the lowest configuration within each energy mode. Functionality may be selectively

9.3.2 Entering Low Energy Modes
The following sections describe the requirements for entering the various Energy Modes.
9.3.2.1 Entry into EM1 Sleep
Energy mode EM1 Sleep is entered when the Cortex-M3 executes the Wait For Interrupt (WFI) or Wait For Event (WFE) instruction
while the SLEEPDEEP bit the Cortex-M3 System Control Register is cleared. The MCU can re-enter sleep automatically out of an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) if the SLEEPONEXIT bit in the Cortex-M3 System Control Register is set. Refer to ARM documentation on
entering Sleep modes.
Alternately, EM1 Sleep can be entered from either EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop from a Peripheral Wakeup Request allowing transfers
from the Peripheral to System RAM. On EFM32, the ADC, or LEUART peripherals can request this wakeup event. Please refer to their
respective register specification to enable this option. The system will return back to EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop once the ADC, or
LEUART have completed its transfers and processing.
During Peripheral Wakeup Request, additional system resources such as FLASH and other Peripherals can be enabled for access.
Refer to EMU_PERWUCONF for more details into system options.
9.3.2.2 Entry into EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop
Energy mode EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop may be entered when all of the following conditions are true:
•
•
•
•

IDAC is currently not updating output.
Cortex-M3 (if present) is in DEEPSLEEP state
Flash Program/Erase Inactive
DMA done with all current requests

Entry into EM2 DeepSleep and EM3 Stop can be blocked by setting the EMU_CTRL->EM2BLOCK bit.
Note: When EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop entry is blocked, the part is not able to enter a lower energy state. The core will be in a sleep
state, similar to EM1, where it is waiting for a proper interrupt of other valid wakeup event. Once the blocking conditions are removed,
then the part will automatically enter a lower energy state.
Energy mode EM2 DeepSleep is entered from EM0 Active when the Cortex-M3 executes the Wait For Interrupt (WFI) or Wait For Event
(WFE) instruction while the SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex-M3 System Control Register is set. The MCU can re-enter DeepSleep automatically out of an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) if the SLEEPONEXIT bit in the Cortex-M3 System Control Register is set. Refer to
ARM documentation on entering Sleep modes.
9.3.2.3 Entry into EM4 Hibernate
Energy mode EM4 Hibernate and EM4 Shutoff is entered through register access.
Software must ensure no modules are active when entering EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff.EM4CTRL->EM4STATE field must be configured to
select either Hibernate (EM4H) or Shutoff (EM4S) mode prior to entering EM4.
Software may enter EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff from EM0 Active by writing the sequence 2-3-2-3 to EM4CTRL->EM4ENTRY bit field. If the
EM4BLOCK bit in WDOGn_CTRL is set, the CPU will be prevented from entering EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff by software request.

9.3.3 Exiting a Low Energy Mode
A system in EM2 DeepSleep and EM3 Stop can be woken up to EM0 Active through regular interrupt requests from active peripherals.
Since state and RAM retention is available, the EFM32 is fully restored and can continue to operate as before it went into the Low
Energy Mode.
Wakeup from EM4 Hibernate or EM4 Shutoff is performed through reset. Wakeup from a specific module must be enabled en
EMU_EM4WUCONF.
Enabled interrupts that can cause wakeup from a low energy mode are shown in Table 9.3 EMU Wakeup Triggers from Low Energy

9.3.4 Power Configurations
The EFM32 Jade Gecko allows several power configurations with additional options giving flexible power architecture selection.
In order to provide the lowest power consuming solutions, the EFM32 Jade Gecko comes with a DC-DC module to power internal circuits. The DC-DC requires an external inductor and capacitor (please refer to the Data Sheet for preferred values).
The EFM32 Jade Gecko has multiple internal power domains: IO Supply (IOVDD), Analog & Flash (AVDD), Input to Digital LDO
(DVDD), and Low Voltage Digital Supply (DECOUPLE). Additional detail for each configuration and option is given in the following sections.
When assigning supply sources, the following requirement must be adhered to:
• VREGVDD = AVDD (Must be the highest voltage in the system)
• VREGVDD >= DVDD
• VREGVDD >= IOVDD
• DVDD >= DECOUPLE
The system boots up into a safe power state, but must be immediately programmed to the desired configuration by writing to the
EMU_PWRCFG->PWRCFG bitfield. Out of POR, the PWRCFG is set to STARTUP, locking access to various power control registers.
Once written, the PWRCFG cannot be changed.

EMU - Energy Management Unit
9.3.4.1 Power Configuration 0: STARTUP
During power-on reset (POR), the system boots up in a safe Startup Configuration that supports all of the available Power Configurations. The Startup Configuration is shown in the simplified diagram below.
In the Startup Configuration:
• The DC-DC converter's Bypass switch is On (i.e., the VREGVDD pin is shorted internally to the DVDD pin).
• The analog blocks are powered from the AVDD supply pin (i.e., ANASW=0).
After power on, firmware can configure the device to based on the external hardware configuration. Note that the PWRCFG register can
only be written once to a valid value and is then locked. This should be done immediately out of boot to select the proper power configuration. The DCDC and PWRCTRL registers will be locked until the PWRCFG register is configured.

9.3.4.3 Power Configuration 2: DC-DC
For the lowest power applications, the DC-DC converter can be used to power the DVDD supply.
In Power Configuration 2, the DC-DC Output (VDCDC) is connected to DVDD. DVDD powers the internal Digital LDO which powers the
digital circuits. AVDD is connected to the main supply voltage. The internal analog blocks may be powered from AVDD or DVDD, depending on the ANASW configuration. IOVDD could be connected to either the main supply (as shown below) or to VDCDC, depending
on the system IO requirements.

As the Main Supply voltage approaches the DC-DC output voltage, it eventually reaches a point where becomes inefficient (or impossible) for the DC-DC module to regulate VDCDC. At this point, the system can be dynamically switched into DC-DC bypass mode, which
effectively disables the DC-DC and shorts the Main Supply voltage directly to the DC-DC output. If and when sufficient voltage margin
on the Main Supply returns, the system can be switched back into DC-DC regulation mode.
9.3.5 DC-to-DC Interface
The EFM32 Jade Gecko features a DC-to-DC buck converter which requires a single external inductor and a single external capacitor.
The converter takes the VREGVDD input voltage and converts it down to an output voltage between VREGVDD and 1.8 V with a peak
efficiency of approximately 90% in Low Noise (LN) mode and 85% in Low Power (LP) mode. Refer to datasheet for full DC-DC specifications.
The DC-DC converter operates in either Low Noise (LN) or Low Power (LP) mode. LN mode is intended for higher current operation
(e.g., EM0), whereas LP mode is intended for very low current operation (e.g., EM2 and below). The DC-DC may be configured to automatically transition from LN mode in EM0/EM1 to LP mode in EM2, EM3, or EM4.
In addition, the DC-DC converter supports an unregulated Bypass mode, in which the input voltage is directly shorted to the DC-DC
output.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 166

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

EMU - Energy Management Unit
9.3.5.1 Bypass Mode
In Bypass mode, the VREGVDD input voltage is directly shorted to the DC-DC converter output through an internal switch. Out of reset,
the DC-DC converter defaults to Bypass mode.
Consult the datasheet for the Bypass switch impedance specification.
9.3.5.2 Low Power (LP) Mode
The Low Power (LP) controller operates in a hysteretic mode to keep the output voltage within a defined voltage band. Once the DCDC output voltage drops below a programmable internal reference, the LP controller generates a pulse train to control the powertrain
PFET switch, which charges up the DC-DC output capacitor. When the output voltage is at the programmed upper level, the powertrain
PFET is turned off. The output ripple voltage may be quite large (>100 mV) in LP mode.
The LP controller supports load currents up to approximately 10 mA, making it suitable for EM2, EM3, or EM4 low energy modes.
9.3.5.3 Low Noise (LN) Mode
The Low Noise (LN) controller continuously switches the powertrain NFET and PFET switches to maintain a constant programmed voltage at the DVDD pin. The LN controller supports load current from sub-mA up to 200 mA.
The LN controller switching frequency is programmable using the RCOBAND bitfield in the EMU_DCDCLNFREQCTRL register. See
below for recommended RCOBAND settings for each mode.
The DC-DC Low Noise controller operates in one of two modes:
1. Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
2. Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM)
9.3.5.3.1 Low Noise (LN) Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
CCM operation is configured by setting the LNFORCECCM bit in the EMU_DCDCMISCCTRL register. CCM can be used to improve
the DC-DC converter's output transient response time to quick load current changes, which minimizes voltage transients on the DC-DC
output.
Note that all references to CCM in the documentation actually refer to Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM) - that is, if the
LNFORCECCM bit is set and the output load current is very low, the DC-DC will be forced to operated in CCM. In this case, the current
through the inductor may be negative and current may flow back into the battery.
In CCM, the recommended DC-DC converter switching frequency is 6.4 MHz (RCOBAND = 4).
.
9.3.5.3.2 Low Noise (LN) Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM)
To enable DCM, the LNFORCECCM bit in EMU_DCDCMISCCTRL must be cleared before entering LN. Typically, this configuration
would occur while the part was in Bypass mode. Once DCM is enabled, the DC-DC should operate in DCM at light load currents. However, as the load current increases, the DC-DC will automatically transition into CCM without software intervention.
The advantage of DCM is improved efficiency for light load currents. However, in DCM the DC-DC has poorer dynamic response to
changes in load current, leading to potentially larger changes in the regulated output voltage. For these reasons, DCM is not recommended for applications that expect large instantaneous load current steps. For example, if the DC-DC is in DCM, firmware may need
to increment the core clock frequency in small steps to prevent a large sudden load increase.
In DCM, the recommended DC-DC converter switching frequency is 3 MHz (RCOBAND = 0).

9.3.5.4 Analog Peripheral Power Selection
The analog peripherals (e.g., ULFRCO, LFRCO, LFXO, HFRCO, AUXHFRCO, VMON, IDAC, ADC) may be powered from one of two
supply pins, depending on the configuration of the ANASW bit in the EMU_PWRCTRL register: Changes to the ANASW setting should
be made immediately out of reset (i.e., in the Startup Configuration) before all clocks (with the exception of HFRCO and ULFRCO) are
enabled. Once ANASW is configured it should not be changed. Note that the flash is always powered from the AVDD pin, regardless of
the state of the ANASW bit.

AVDD pin

This configuration may provide a quieter supply to the analog modules, but is less efficient as AVDD is typically at a higher voltage than
DVDD.

1

DVDD pin

This configuration may provide a noisier supply to the analog modules, but is more efficient.

9.3.5.5 IOVDD Connection
The IOVDD can be connected to either the DCDC Output (VDCDC) or the main supply.
Note that when IOVDD is powered from the VDCDC, any circuit attached to IOVDD must be capable of withstanding the main supply
voltage momentarily. This is because at startup, the bypass switch is on, shorting the main supply to VDCDC. In addition, the system
must take into consideration the maximum allowable DCDC load current. Refer to datasheet for DCDC specification.
IOVDD must be less than or equal to AVDD.
9.3.5.6 DC-to-DC Programming Guidelines
Note: Refer to Application Note AN0948: "Power Configurations and DC-DC" for detailed information on programming the DC-DC. Application Notes can be found on the Silicon Labs website (www.silabs.com/32bit-appnotes) or using the [Application Notes] tile in Simplicity Studio.

9.3.6 Brown Out Detector (BOD)

9.3.6.1 AVDD BOD
The EFM32 Jade Gecko has a fast response Brown Out Detector (BOD) on AVDD that is always active. This BOD ensures the minimal
supply is provided to the AVDD supply (typically also connected to VREGVDD). Once triggered, the BOD will cause the system to reset.
Note: In EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff a low power version of the AVDD BOD, called EM4BOD, is available to trigger a reset at level lower
than in other energy modes. All other BOD's are disabled during EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff

9.3.6.2 DVDD and DECOUPLE BOD
Additional BODs will monitor DVDD and DECOUPLE during EM0 Active through EM3 Stop. This can cause a reset to the internal logic,
but will not cause a power-on reset or reset the EMU or RTCC.

The EMU provides the following features around temperature changes
• Wakeup from EM4 Hibernate on Temperature Change
• Interrupt from High Level Trip
• Interrupt from Low Level Trip
9.3.10 Registers latched in EM4
The following registers will be latched when enterring EM4. After wakeup from EM4, these registers will be reset and require reprogramming prior to writing the EMU_CMD_EM4UNLATCH command.
• CMU_LFEPRESC0
9.3.11 Register Resets
Each EMU register requires retaining state in various energy modes and power transitions and will consequently need to be reset with a
different condition. The following reset conditions will apply to the appropriate set of registers as marked in the Register Description
table.
• Reset with POR or Hard Pin Reset
• Reset with POR, Hard Pin Reset, or any BOD reset
• Reset with SYSEXTENDEDRESETn
• Reset with FULLRESETn (default)
If a register field is not marked with a specific reset condition then it is assumed to be reset with FULLRESETn.

Description

EM4 Unlatch

When entering EM4, several registers will be latched in order to maintain constant functionality throughout EM4. Upon
wakeup, these registers will be reset and can have contradictory values to the latched values. To ensure a seamless transition from EM4 to EM0, the unlatch command should be given after properly reconfiguring these latched registers. The unlatch command can be executed after any reset condition but is only needed after EM4 wakeup.

Reverse current limit level selection for zero detector

Zero detector is reconfigured as low-side reverse current limiter when LNFORCECCM=1 in LN mode. The configuration of
this register is calculated by the allowed average reverse current I_RMAX through the equation: ZDETILIMSEL=(I_RMAX
+40mA)*1.5/(2.5mA*(NFETCNT+1)), where 40mA represents the current ripple with some margin, and the factor of 1.5 accounts for detecting error and other variations. When the battery is tolerable with large reverse current, it is recommended
to have I_RMAX=160mA to maximize ZDETILIMSEL to 7 with NFETCNT=15. Please be noticed that when LNFORCECCM=1 but ZDETILIMSEL=0, the DCDC’s behavior will be very similar to when LNFORCECCM=0. In another words,
the DCDC is in DCM mode. When LNFORCECCM=0, zero detector only detect zero-crossing and this register is ignored.
Reset with POR, Hard Pin Reset, or BOD reset.

CMU - Clock Management Unit

10. CMU - Clock Management Unit
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

Oscillators

The CMU controls oscillators and clocks. EFM32
Jade Gecko supports 6 different oscillators with
minimized power consumption and short start-up
time. The CMU has HW support for calibration of RC
oscillators.
WDOG clock

Why?

LETIMER clock
LEUART clock

Oscillators and clocks contribute significantly to the
power consumption of the MCU. With the low power
oscillators combined with the flexible clock control
scheme, it is possible to minimize the energy consumption in any given application.

Peripheral A clock

How?

Peripheral B clock

The CMU can configure different clock sources, enable/disable clocks to peripherals on an individual basis and set the prescaler for the different clocks. The
short oscillator start-up times makes duty-cycling between active mode and the different low energy
modes (EM2 DeepSleep, EM3 Stop, and EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff) very efficient. The calibration feature ensures high accuracy RC oscillators. Several
interrupts are available to avoid CPU polling of flags.

CMU

Peripheral C clock
Peripheral D clock
CPU clock

10.1 Introduction
The Clock Management Unit (CMU) is responsible for controlling the oscillators and clocks in the EFM32 Jade Gecko. The CMU provides the capability to turn on and off the clock on an individual basis to all peripheral modules in addition to enable/disable and configure the available oscillators. The high degree of flexibility enables software to minimize energy consumption in any specific application
by not wasting power on peripherals and oscillators that do not need to be active.
10.2 Features
• Multiple clock sources available:
• 38 MHz - 40 MHz High Frequency Crystal Oscillator (HFXO)
• 1 MHz - 38 MHz High Frequency RC Oscillator (HFRCO)
• 1 MHz - 38 MHz Auxiliary High Frequency RC Oscillator (AUXHFRCO)
• 32768 Hz Low Frequency Crystal Oscillator (LFXO)
• 32768 Hz Low Frequency RC Oscillator (LFRCO)
• 1000 Hz Ultra Low Frequency RC Oscillator (ULFRCO)
• Low power oscillators.
• Low start-up times.
• Separate prescalers for High Frequency Core Clocks (HFCORECLK), and Peripheral Clocks (HFPERCLK).
• Individual clock prescaler selection for each Low Energy Peripheral.
• Clock gating on an individual basis to core modules and all peripherals.
• Selectable clocks can be output to external pins and/or PRS.
• Wakeup interrupt based on LFRCO or LFXO ready, allowing to wait for low frequency oscillator startup while being in EM2 DeepSleep avoiding the need for polling.
• Auxiliary 1 MHz - 38 MHz RC oscillator (AUXHFRCO), which is asynchronous to the HFSRCCLK system clock, can be selected for
ADC operation and debug trace.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 207

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

CMU - Clock Management Unit
10.3.1.1 HFCLK - High Frequency Clock
HFSRCCLK is the selected High Frequency Source Clock. HFCLK is an optionally prescaled version of HFSRCCLK. The HFSRCCLK,
and therefore HFCLK, can be driven by a high-frequency oscillator (HFRCO or HFXO or HFRCODIV2 see ) or one of the low-frequency
oscillators (LFRCO or LFXO). Additionally, HFSRCCLK can also be driven from a pin (CLKIN) described in 10.3.6 Clock Input from a
Pin. By default the HFRCO is selected. In most applications, one of the high frequency oscillators will be the preferred choice. To
change the selected clock source, write to the HF bitfield in CMU_HFCLKSEL. The high frequency clock source can also be changed
automatically by hardware as explained in 10.3.2.9 Automatic HFXO Start. The currently selected source for HFSRCCLK and HFCLK
can be read from CMU_HFCLKSTATUS. The HFSRCCLK is running in EM0 Active and EM1 Sleep and is automatically stopped in
EM2 DeepSleep.
Note:
If a low frequency clock (i.e. LFRCO or LFXO) is selected as source clock for HFSRCCLK via the HF bitfield in CMU_HFCLKSEL, then
no register reads should be performed from Low Energy Peripherals for registers which can change value every clock cycle (e.g. a
counter register). In addition to the peripherals on LFACLK, LFBCLK and LFECLK, this restriction applies in general to any low frequency peripheral, which is not directly or indirectly clocked from HFSRCCLK (e.g. the WDOG).
HFCLK can optionally be prescaled by setting PRESC in CMU_HFPRESC to a non-zero value. This prescales HFCLK to all high frequency components and is typically used to save energy in applications where the system is not required to run at the highest frequency. The prescaler setting can be changed dynamically and the new setting takes effect immediately. HFCLK is used by the CMU and
drives the prescalers that generate HFCORECLK and HFPERCLK allowing for flexible clock prescaling. The HFBUSCLK, used, for example, in the bus and memory system, is equal to HFCLK.
10.3.1.2 HFCORECLK - High Frequency Core Clock
HFCORECLK is a prescaled version of HFCLK. This clock drives the Core Modules, which consists of the CPU and modules that are
tightly coupled to the CPU, e.g. the cache. The prescale factor for prescaling HFCLK into HFCORECLK is set using the CMU_HFCOREPRESC register. The setting can be changed dynamically and the new setting takes effect immediately.
Note:
Note that if HFPERCLK runs faster than HFCORECLK, the number of clock cycles for each bus-access to peripheral modules will increase with the ratio between the clocks. Please refer to 4.2.4 Bus Matrix for more details.

10.3.1.3 HFBUSCLK - High Frequency Bus Clock
HFBUSCLK is equal to HFCLK. This clock drives Bus and Memory System Modules as for example the Bus Matrix, MSC, RAM, DMA,
CRYPTO and GPIO. HFBUSCLK is also used to drive the bus interface to the Low Energy Peripherals as described further in
10.3.1.5 LFACLK - Low Frequency A Clock, 10.3.1.6 LFBCLK - Low Frequency B Clock and 10.3.1.7 LFECLK - Low Frequency E
Clock. Some of the modules that are driven by this clock can be clock gated completely when not in use. This is done by clearing the
clock enable bit for the specific module in CMU_HFBUSCLKEN0. The frequency of HFBUSCLK is equal to the frequency of HFCLK
and can therefore only be prescaled by using the PRESC bitfield in CMU_HFPRESC.
10.3.1.4 HFPERCLK - High Frequency Peripheral Clock
Like HFCORECLK, HFPERCLK also is a prescaled version of HFCLK. This clock drives the High-Frequency Peripherals. All the peripherals that are driven by this clock can be clock gated completely when not in use. This is done by clearing the clock enable bit for the
specific peripheral in CMU_HFPERCLKEN0. The peripherals can also be gated simultaneously by clearing the HFPERCLKEN bit in the
CMU_CTRL register. The prescale factor for prescaling HFCLK into HFPERCLK is set using the CMU_HFPERPRESC register. The
setting can be changed dynamically and the new setting takes effect immediately.
Note:
Note that if HFPERCLK runs faster than HFCORECLK, the number of clock cycles for each bus-access to peripheral modules will increase with the ratio between the clocks. E.g. if a bus-access normally takes three cycles, it will take 9 cycles if HFPERCLK runs three
times as fast as the HFCORECLK.

CMU - Clock Management Unit
10.3.1.5 LFACLK - Low Frequency A Clock
LFACLK is the selected clock for the Low Energy A Peripherals. There are three selectable sources for LFACLK: LFRCO, LFXO and
ULFRCO. In addition, the LFACLK can be disabled, which is the default setting. The selection is configured using the LFA field in
CMU_LFACLKSEL.
The bus interface to the Low Energy A Peripherals is clocked by HFBUSCLKLE and this clock therefore needs to be enabled when
programming a Low Energy (LE) peripheral.
Each Low Energy Peripheral that is clocked by LFACLK has its own prescaler setting and enable bit. The prescaler settings are configured using CMU_LFAPRESC0 and the clock enable bits can be found in CMU_LFACLKEN0.
When operating in oversampling mode, the pulse counters are clocked by LFACLK. This is configured for each pulse counter (n) individually by setting PCNTnCLKSEL in CMU_PCNTCTRL.
10.3.1.6 LFBCLK - Low Frequency B Clock
LFBCLK is the selected clock for the Low Energy B Peripherals. There are four selectable sources for LFBCLK: LFRCO, LFXO,
HFCLKLE and ULFRCO. In addition, the LFBCLK can be disabled, which is the default setting. The selection is configured using the
LFB field in CMU_LFBCLKSEL. The HFCLKLE setting allows the Low Energy B Peripherals to be used as high-frequency peripherals.
The bus interface to the Low Energy B Peripherals is clocked by HFBUSCLKLE and this clock therefore needs to be enabled when
programming a LE peripheral.
Note:
If HFCLKLE is selected as LFBCLK, the clock will stop in EM2 DeepSleep and EM3 Stop.
Each Low Energy Peripheral that is clocked by LFBCLK has its own prescaler setting and enable bit. The prescaler settings are configured using CMU_LFBPRESC0 and the clock enable bits can be found in CMU_LFBCLKEN0.
10.3.1.7 LFECLK - Low Frequency E Clock
LFECLK is the selected clock for the Low Energy E Peripherals. There are three selectable sources for LFECLK: LFRCO, LFXO and
ULFRCO. In addition, the LFECLK can be disabled, which is the default setting. The selection is configured using the LFE field in
CMU_LFECLKSEL.
The bus interface to the Low Energy E Peripherals is clocked by HFBUSCLKLE and this clock therefore needs to be enabled when
programming a LE peripheral.
Note:
LFECLK is in a different power domain than LFACLK and LFBCLK, which makes it available all the way down to EM4 Hibernate.
Each Low Energy Peripheral that is clocked by LFECLK has its own prescaler setting and enable bit. The prescaler settings are configured using CMU_LFEPRESC0 and the clock enable bits can be found in CMU_LFECLKEN0.
10.3.1.8 PCNTnCLK - Pulse Counter n Clock
Each available pulse counter is driven by its own clock, PCNTnCLK where n is the pulse counter instance number. Each pulse counter
can be configured to use an external pin (PCNTn_S0) or LFACLK as PCNTnCLK.
10.3.1.9 WDOGCLK - Watchdog Timer Clock
The Watchdog Timer (WDOG) can be configured to use one of three different clock sources: LFRCO, LFXO or ULFRCO.
10.3.1.10 CRYOCLK - Cryotimer Clock
The Cryotimer clock can be configured to use one of three different clock sources: LFRCO, LFXO or ULFRCO. The Cryotimer can also
run in EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff provided that its selected clock is kept enabled as configured in EMU_EM4CTRL.

CMU - Clock Management Unit
10.3.1.11 AUXCLK - Auxiliary Clock
AUXCLK is a 1 MHz - 38 MHz clock driven by a separate RC oscillator, the AUXHFRCO. This clock can be used for ADC operation and
Serial Wire Output (SWO). When the AUXHFRCO is selected as the ADC clock via the ADC0CLKSEL bitfield in the CMU_ADCCTRL
register this clock will become active automatically when needed. Even if the AUXHFRCO has not been enabled explicitly by software,
the ADC can automatically start and stop it. The AUXHFRCO is explicitely enabled by writing a 1 to AUXHFRCOEN in CMU_OSCENCMD. This explicit enabling is required when using the selecting AUXCLK for SWO operation.
10.3.1.12 Debug Trace Clock
The CMU selects the clock used for debug trace via the DBGCLKSEL register. The user can use the AUXHFRCO or the HFCLK. The
selected debug trace clock will be used to run the Cortex-M3 trace logic.
Note:
When using AUXHFRCO as the debug trace clock, it must be stopped before entering EM2 or EM3.

10.3.2.1 Enabling and Disabling
The different oscillators can typically be enabled and disabled via both hardware and software mechanisms. Enabling via software is
done by setting the corresponding enable bit in the CMU_OSCENCMD register. Disabling via software is done by setting the corresponding disable bit in CMU_OSCENCMD. Enabling via hardware can be performed by various peripherals and varies per oscillator.
Disabling via hardware is typically performed on entry of low energy modes. The enable and disable mechanisms for each of the oscillators are summarized in Table 10.1 Software based and Hardware based Enabling and Disabling of Oscillators on page 211 and described in more detail below.

CMU - Clock Management Unit
10.3.2.1.1 LFRCO and LFXO
The LFXO and LFRCO can be enabled and disabled by software via the CMU_OSCENCMD register. The WDOG can be configured to
force the LFXO or LFRCO to become (and remain) enabled when such an oscillator is selected as its clock source via the CLKSEL
bitfield in the WDOG_CTRL register while SWOSCBLOCK is set. In that case LFXODIS and LFRCODIS commands are blocked. They
are automatically disabled when entering EM3. Upon EM4 entry they are default turned off, but they can optionally be retained depending on the EMU_EM4CTRL configuration. Retaining of the LFXO or LFRCO in EM4 is needed if such an oscillator is required by a
specific peripheral in EM4. Retaining can also be used to guarantee quick oscillator availability after EM4 exit.
Note:
In order to support usage of LFRCO and LFXO in EM4, their settings are automatically latched upon EM4 entry. These settings remain
latched upon wake-up from EM4 to EM0 although the related registers (CMU_LFRCOCTRL, CMU_LFXOCTRL, CMU_LFECLKSEL,
CMU_LFECLKEN0 and CMU_LEEPRESC0) will have been reset. The registers can be rewritten by software, but they will only affect
the LFRCO and LFXO after unlatching their settings by setting EM4UNLATCH in the EMU_CMD register.
Note:
Turning off the LFRCO and LFXO upon EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff entry is most easily done by using the RETAINLFRCO and RETAINLFXO bitfields from the EMU_EM4CTRL register, which are default such that the LFRCO and LFXO are turned off automatically upon
EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff entry. Alternatively the LFRCO and LFXO can be disabled via the CMU_OSCENCMD register, in which case
software should wait for the oscillators to be properly disabled before executing the EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff entry routine.
After enabling the LFRCO (or LFXO), it should not be disabled before it has been signaled to be ready. Similarly, after disabling the
LFRCO (or LFXO), it should not be re-enabled before it has been signaled to be non-ready. Before entering EM4, software should
check that the LFRCO (or LFXO) is signaled to be ready before allowing or initiating the EM4 entry if that oscillator is required in EM4.
Also, to guarantee latching the latest settings, no control write should be ongoing upon EM4 entry as can be checked via the
CMU_SYNCBUSY register. Typical enable and disable sequences are as follows:
CMU->OSCENCMD = CMU_OSCENCMD_LFRCOEN;
while ((CMU->STATUS & CMU_STATUS_LFRCORDY) != CMU_STATUS_LFRCORDY);
CMU->OSCENCMD = CMU_OSCENCMD_LFRCODIS;
while ((CMU->STATUS & CMU_STATUS_LFRCORDY) == CMU_STATUS_LFRCORDY);

When the LFXO is disabled, the interface to the LFXTAL_N and LFXTAL_P pins are set in a high-Z state. The XTAL oscillations will not
stop immediately when LFXO is disabled, but typically die out gradually over some 100 ms. If the LFXO is enabled before XTAL oscillations have had time to reach zero amplitude, startup time can be significantly shorter.
Note:
The LFRCORDY and LFXORDY interrupts can be used to wake up the system from EM2 DeepSleep. In this way busy waiting for the
LFRCO or LFXO to become ready can be avoided by going into EM2 after enabling these oscillators and sleeping until the interrupt
causes a wakeup.

10.3.2.1.2 ULFRCO
The ULFRCO is automatically enabled in EM0, EM1, EM2, EM3, and EM4H and cannot be controlled via CMU_OSCENCMD. It is automatically disabled upon entering EM4S unless prevented by the configuration in EMU_EM4CTRL.
10.3.2.1.3 HFRCO
The HFRCO can be enabled and disabled by software via the CMU_OSCENCMD register. The HFRCO is disabled automatically when
entering EM2, EM3, or EM4. Further hardware based enabling and disabling can be performed by the LEUART when using automatic
RX/TX DMA wakeup as controlled by the RXDMAWU and TXDMAWU bits in the LEUARTn_CTRL register. An automatic start and selection of the HFXO will lead to an automatic HFRCO disabling.

10.3.2.1.4 HFXO
The HFXO can be enabled and disabled by software via the CMU_OSCENCMD register. The HFXO is disabled automatically when
entering EM2, EM3, or EM4. Hardware based HFXO enabling can be initiated by various peripherals as configured via the AUTOSTARTEM0EM1, AUTOSTARTSELEM0EM1 bits in the CMU_HFXOCTRL register. The interaction between hardware based and software
based control of the HFXO is further explained in 10.3.2.9 Automatic HFXO Start.
After enabling the HFXO, it should not be disabled before it has been signaled to be enabled. Similarly, after disabling the HFXO it
should not be re-enabled before it has been signaled to be non-enabled. Typical enable and disable sequences are as follows:
CMU->OSCENCMD = CMU_OSCENCMD_HFXOEN;
while ((CMU->STATUS & CMU_STATUS_HFXOENS) != CMU_STATUS_HFXOENS);

CMU - Clock Management Unit
10.3.2.2 Oscillator Start-up Time and Time-out
The start-up time differs per oscillator and the usage of an oscillator clock can further be delayed by a time-out. The LFRCO, LFXO and
the HFXO have a configurable time-out which is set by software in the (various) TIMEOUT bitfields of the CMU_LFRCOCTRL,
CMU_LFXOCTRL and CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL registers respectively. The time-out delays the assertion of the READY signal for
LFRCO, LFXO and HFXO and should allow for enough time for the oscillator to stabilize. The time-out can be optimized for the chosen
crystal (for LFXO and HFXO) used in the application. In case LFRCO and/or LFXO has been retained throughout EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff, such retained oscillators can be quickly restarted for use as LFACLK, LFBCLK or LFECLK by using the minimum TIMEOUT settings
for them. For the other RC oscillators (HFRCO, AUXHFRCO, and ULFRCO), the start-up time is known and a fixed time-out is used.
There are individual bits in the CMU_STATUS register for each oscillator indicating the status of the oscillator:
• ENABLED - Indicates that the oscillator is enabled
• READY - Start-up time including time-out is exceeded
These status bits are located in the CMU_STATUS register.
Additionaly, the HFXO has a second time-out counter which can be used to achieve deterministic start-up time based on timing from the
LFXO, ULFRCO, or LFRCO. This second counter runs off LFECLK and can be programmed via the LFTIMEOUT bitfield in the
CMU_HFXOCTRL register. It can be used when waking up from EM2 when either ULFRCO, LFRCO or LFXO is already running and
stable. In this case the HFXO ready assertion can be delayed with the number of LFECLK cycles as programmed in LFTIMEOUT. The
HFXO ready signal is asserted when both the TIMEOUT counter (configured via the CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL register) and the
LFTIMEOUT counter (configured via CMU_HFXOCTRL register) have timed out as shown in Figure 10.3 CMU Deterministic HFXO
startup using LFTIMEOUT on page 214. The TIMEOUT should cover the actual crystal startup time. Typically the time base used for
the TIMEOUT counter is not as accurate as the time base accuracy that can be achieved for the LFTIMEOUT counter, specifically if
that one is based on the LFXO timing. If LFTIMEOUT is triggered before TIMEOUT is triggered, then the LFTIMEOUTERR bitfield in
CMU_IF will be set to 1. Note that use of LFTIMEOUT requires that the peripheral causing the wake-up is on the LFECLK domain.

CMU - Clock Management Unit
10.3.2.3 Switching Clock Source
The HFRCO oscillator is a low energy oscillator with extremely short start-up time. Therefore, this oscillator is always chosen by hardware as the clock source for HFCLK when the device starts up (e.g. after reset and after waking up from EM2 DeepSleep and EM3
Stop). After reset, the HFRCO frequency is 19 MHz.
Software can switch between the different clock sources at run-time. For example, when the HFRCO is the clock source, software can
switch to HFXO by writing the field HF in the CMU_HFCLKSEL command register. See Figure 10.4 CMU Switching from HFRCO to
HFXO before HFXO is ready on page 215 for a description of the sequence of events for this specific operation.
Note:
Before switching the HFCLKSRC to HFXO via the HF bitfield in CMU_HFCLKSEL it is important to first enable the HFXO. Switching to
a disabled oscillator will effectively stop HFSRCCLK and only a reset can recover the system.
When selecting an oscillator which has been enabled, but which is not ready yet, the HFSRCCLK will stop for the duration of the oscillator start-up time since the oscillator driving it is not ready. This effectively stalls the Core Modules and the High-Frequency Peripherals.
It is possible to avoid this by first enabling the target oscillator (e.g. HFXO) and then waiting for that oscillator to become ready before
switching the clock source. This way, the system continues to run on the HFRCO until the target oscillator (e.g. HFXO) has timed out
and provides a reliable clock. This sequence of events is shown in Figure 10.5 CMU Switching from HFRCO to HFXO after HFXO is
ready on page 216.
A separate flag is set when the oscillator is ready. This flag can also be configured to generate an interrupt.

ready before switching to it.

Figure 10.6. HFXO Pin Connection
By default the HFXO is started in crystal mode, but it is possible to connect an active external sine wave or square wave clock source to
the HFXTAL_N pin of the HFXO. By configuring the MODE field in CMU_HFXOCTRL to EXTCLK, the HFXO can be bypassed and the
source clock can be provided through the HFXTAL_N pin.
Upon enabling the HFXO, a hardware state machine sequentially applies the configurable startup state and steady state control settings from the CMU_HFXOSTARTUPCTRL and CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL registers. Configuration is required for both the
startup state and the steady state of the HFXO. After reaching the steady operation state of the HFXO, further optimization can optionally be performed to optimize the HFXO for noise and current consumption. Optimization for noise can be performed by an automatic
Peak Detection Algorithm (PDA). Optimization for current can be performed by an automatic Shunt Current Optimization algorithm
(SCO). HFXO operation is possible without PDA and SCO at the cost of higher noise and current consumption than required.
Upon fully disabling the HFXO, the HFXTAL_N and HFXTAL_P pins can optionally be automatically pulled to ground as configured via
the XTI2GND and XTO2GND bits respectively from the CMU_HFXOCTRL register. Do not set XTI2GND to 1 when the HFXO is in
EXTCLK mode and an external wave is connected.

CMU - Clock Management Unit
Refer to the Device Datasheet to find the configuration values for a given crystal. The startup state configuration needs to be written
into the IBTRIMXOCORE and CTUNE bitfields of the CMU_HFXOSTARTUPCTRL register. The duration of the startup phase is configured in the STARTUPTIMEOUT bitfield of the CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL register. Similarly, the Device Datasheet provides the steady
state configuration depending on the crystal's CL, RESR and oscillation frequency. This configuration is programmed into the IBTRIMXOCORE, REGISH and CTUNE bitfields of the CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL register. The duration of the steady phase is configured in the STEADYTIMEOUT bitfield of the CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL register.
All HFXO configuration needs to be performed prior to enabling the HFXO via HFXOEN in CMU_OSCENCMD unless noted otherwise.
The HFXOENS flag in CMU_STATUS indicates if the HFXO has been successfully enabled. Once the HFXO startup time (STARTUPTIMEOUT plus STEADYTIMEOUT) has exceeded, the HFXO is ready for use as indicated by the HFXORDY flag in CMU_STATUS. If
PDA and SCO are enabled, the HFXOPEAKDETRDY and HFXOSHUNTOPTRDY flags in the CMU_STATUS register indicate when
these algorithms are ready and it is advised to also wait for these flags before using the HFXO.
The HFXO crystal bias current may be optimized and set to a value which decreases output phase noise without sacrificing PSR. This
is done by programming the recommended IBTRIMXOCORE value into the CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL register. The built-in
Peak Detector Algorithm (PDA) performs further optimization to accommodate for process variations. Once PDA is ready as indicated
by the HFXOPEAKDETRDY flag, the found optimal bias current setting is available in the IBTRIMXOCORE bitfield of the CMU_HFXOTRIMSTATUS register. This IBTRIMXOCORE setting should be saved and can be applied directly during a future HFXO startup as a
low noise setting by programming it into the corresponding bitfield in CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL while the HFXO is off.
If low noise is not required, the same PDA algorithm can be configured to optimize the HFXO for low current consumption by enabling
LOWPOWER in the CMU_HFXOCTRL register before starting up the HFXO. The found IBTRIMXOCORE setting can be saved as a
future low current setting.
Default PDA is started automatically once the HFXO has become ready. Repeated PDA can be triggered by writing HFXOPEAKDETSTART to 1 in the CMU_CMD register. PDA can also be triggered only by the command register by configuring PEAKDETSHUNTOPTMODE to CMD in the CMU_HFXOCTRL register before starting the HFXO. For PDA to work correctly, the REGISHUPPER bitfield of
CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL should be programmed to the value of the steady state REGISH + 3. The PEAKDETTIMEOUT bitfield in the CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL register is used to time the PDA steps and needs to be configured according to the Device
Datasheet for the given crystal. The PEAKDETEN bitfield of the CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL register is only used during manual
(i.e. fully software controlled) peak detection and is ignored during automatic or command based triggering of the PDA. Note that the
manual PDA mode is not recommended for general usage and therefore it is not further described. PDA should not be used when using
an external wave as clock source.
Current consumption can be (further) reduced by running Shunt Current Optimization (SCO) after PDA. Once SCO is ready as indicated by the HFXOSHUNTOPTRDY flag, the found optimal regulator output current setting is available in the REGISH bitfield of the
CMU_HFXOTRIMSTATUS register. This REGISH setting should be saved and can be applied directly during a future HFXO startup as
a low current setting by programming it into the corresponding bitfield in CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL while the HFXO is off. Normally SCO is run only for initial HFXO start up. The amplitude of the oscillator is not strongly dependent on temperature, but further
optimization may be done each time that the temperature changes significantly. In that case, run SCO again by writing HFXOSHUNTOPTSTART to 1 in the CMU_CMD register. SCO depends on the LOWPOWER setting in the CMU_HFXOCTRL and needs to be rerun if that value has been changed.
Default SCO is started automatically once the HFXO has become ready and PDA has finished. Repeated SCO can be triggered by
writing HFXOSHUNTOPTSTART to 1 in the CMU_CMD register. SCO can also be triggered only by the command register by configuring PEAKDETSHUNTOPTMODE to CMD in the CMU_HFXOCTRL register before starting the HFXO. For SCO to work correctly, the
REGISHUPPER bitfield of CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL should be programmed to the value of the steady state REGISH + 3. The
SHUNTOPTTIMEOUT bitfield in the CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL register is used to time the SCO steps and needs to be configured
according to the Device Datasheet for the given crystal. The REGSELILOW bitfield of the CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL register is
only used during manual (i.e. fully software controlled) shunt current optimization and is ignored during automatic or command based
triggering of the SCO. Note that the manual SCO mode is not recommended for general usage and therefore it is not further described.

CMU - Clock Management Unit
10.3.2.5 LFXO Configuration
The Low Frequency Crystal Oscillator (LFXO) is default configured to ensure safe startup for all crystals. In order to optimize startup
time and power consumption for a given crystal, it is possible to adjust the startup gain in the oscillator by programming the GAIN field
in CMU_LFXOCTRL. Refer to the Device Datasheet and application notes for guidelines in selecting correct components and crystals
as well as for configuration trade-offs.
The LFXO can be retained on in EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff. In that case its required configuration is latched/retained throughout EM4 even
though the CMU_LFXOCTRL register itself will be reset. Upon EM4 exit, the CMU_LFXOCTRL register therefore needs to be reconfigured to its original settings and the LFXO needs to be restarted via CMU_OSCENCMD, before optionally unlatching the retained LFXO
configuration by writing 1 to EM4UNLATCH in the EMU_CMD register. The LFXO startup time is configured via the TIMEOUT bitfield of
the CMU_LFXOCTRL register. If the LFXO has been retained throughout EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff, it can be quickly restarted for use as
LFACLK, LFBCLK or LFECLK by using its minimum TIMEOUT setting. While retained, the LFXO can be used down to EM4 Hibernate
as source for LFECLK and down to EM4 Shutoff as source for CRYOCLK.
The LFXO crystal is connected to the LFXTAL_N/LFXTAL_P pins as shown in Figure 10.8 LFXO Pin Connection on page 220

Figure 10.8. LFXO Pin Connection
By configuring the MODE field in CMU_LFXOCTRL, the LFXO can be bypassed, and an external clock source can be connected to the
LFXTAL_N pin of the LFXO oscillator. If MODE is set to BUFEXTCLK, an external active sine source can be used as clock source. If
MODE is set to DIGEXTCLK, an external active CMOS source can be used as clock source.
The LFXO includes on-chip tunable capacitance, which can replace external load capacitors. The TUNING bitfield of the
CMU_LFXOCTRL register is used to tune the internal load capacitance connected between LFXTAL_P and ground and LFXTAL_N and
ground symmetrically. The capacitance range and step size information is available in the device datasheets. Use the formula below to
calculate the TUNING bitfield:
TUNING = ((desiredTotalLoadCap * 2 - Min(CLFXO_T)) / CLFXO_TS)
Figure 10.9. CMU LFXO Tuning Capacitance Equation
These tunable capacitors can also be used to compensate for temperature drift of the XTAL in software. Crystals normally have a temperature dependency which is given by a parabolic function. The crystal has highest frequency at its turnover temperature, normally
25C. The frequency is reduced following a parabola for higher and lower temperatures. The LFXO offers a mechanism to internally add
capacitance on the LFXTAL_N and LFXTAL_P pins (in parallel to an optional external load capacitance). The variation in frequency as
a function of temperature can therefore be compensated by adjusting the load capacitance. When the temperature compensation
scheme is used, the maximum internal capacitance should be used to obtain good frequency matching at the turnover temperature. For
higher and lower temperatures one then has the maximum tuning range available. The external load capacitance must then of course
be reduced accordingly. Note that the ADC (22. ADC - Analog to Digital Converter) includes an embedded temperature sensor and that
the EMU (9. EMU - Energy Management Unit) offers a temperature management interface, both of which can be used in combination
with this LFXO temperature compensation scheme.
The XTAL oscillation amplitude can be controlled via the HIGHAMPL bitfield in CMU_LFXOCTRL. Setting HIGHAMPL to 1 will result in
higher amplitude, which in turn provides safer operation, somewhat improved duty cycle, and lower sensitivity to noise at the cost of
increased current consumption.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 220

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

CMU - Clock Management Unit
The AGC bit of the CMU_LFXOCTRL register is used to turn on or off the Automatic Gain Control module that adjusts the amplitude of
the XTAL. When disabled, the LFXO will run at the startup current and the XTAL will oscillate rail to rail, again providing safer operation,
improved duty cycle, and lower sensitivity to noise at the cost of increased current consumption.
10.3.2.6 HFRCO and AUXHFRCO Configuration
It is possible to calibrate the HFRCO and AUXHFRCO to achieve higher accuracy (see the device datasheets for details on accuracy).
The frequency is adjusted by changing the TUNING and FINETUNING bitfields in CMU_HFRCOCTRL and CMU_AUXHFRCOCTRL.
Changing to a higher value will result in a lower frequency. Please refer to the datasheet for stepsize details.
The HFRCO and AUXHFRCO can be set to one of several different frequency bands from 1 MHz to 38 MHz by setting the FREQRANGE field in CMU_HFRCOCTRL and CMU_AUXHFRCOCTRL. The HFRCO and AUXHFRCO frequency bands are calibrated during production test, and the production tested calibration values can be read from the Device Information (DI) page. The DI page contains a separate tuning value for each frequency band. During reset, HFRCO and AUXHFRCO tuning values are set to the production
calibrated values for the 19 MHz band, which is the default frequency band. When changing to a different HFRCO or AUXHFRCO
band, make sure to also update the TUNING value and other bitfields in the CMU_HFRCOCTRL and CMU_AUXHFRCOCTRL registers. Typically the entire register is written with a value obtained from the Device Information (DI) page. Please refer to for information
on which frequency band settings are stored in the DI page.
The frequency can be tuned more accurately, at the cost of increased current consumption, via the FINETUNING bitfield if finetuning
has been enabled via the FINETUNINGEN bit. The HFRCO and AUXHFRCO both contain a local prescaler, which can be used in combination with any FREQRANGE setting. These prescalers allow the output clocks to be divided by 1, 2, or 4 as configured in the
CLKDIV bitfield.
10.3.2.7 LFRCO Configuration
It is possible to calibrate the LFRCO to achieve higher accuracy (see the device datasheets for details on accuracy). The frequency is
adjusted by changing the TUNING bitfield in CMU_LFRCOCTRL. Changing to a higher value will result in a lower frequency. Please
refer to the datasheet for stepsize details.
The LFRCO can be retained on in EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff. In that case its required configuration is latched/retained throughout EM4
even though the CMU_LFRCOCTRL register itself will be reset. Upon EM4 exit the CMU_LFRCOCTRL register therefore needs to be
reconfigured to its original settings and the LFRCO needs to be restarted via CMU_OSCENCMD, before optionally unlatching the retained LFRCO configuration by writing 1 to EM4UNLATCH in the EMU_CMD register. The LFRCO startup time is configured via the
TIMEOUT bitfield of the CMU_LFRCOCTRL register. Default its 16 cycle startup should be used. However, in case the LFRCO has
been retained throughout EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff, it can be quickly restarted for use as LFACLK or LFBCLK by using its minimum TIMEOUT setting. While retained, the LFRCO can be used down to EM4 Hibernate as source for LFECLK and down to EM4 Shutoff as
source for CRYOCLK.
The LFRCO is also calibrated in production and its TUNING values are set to the correct value during reset.
The LFRCO can be put in duty cycle mode by setting the ENVREF bit in CMU_LFRCOCTRL to 1 before starting the LFRCO. This will
reduce current consumption, but will result in slightly worse accuracy especially at high temperatures. Setting the ENCHOP and/or ENDEM bitfields to 1 in the CMU_LFRCOCTRL register will improve the average LFRCO frequency accuracy at the cost of a worse cycleto-cycle accuracy.

10.3.2.8 RC Oscillator Calibration
The CMU has built-in HW support to efficiently calibrate the RC oscillators (LFRCO, HFRCO, AUXHFRCO) at run-time, see Figure
10.10 HW-support for RC Oscillator Calibration on page 222 for an illustration of this circuit. The concept is to select a reference and
compare the RC frequency with the reference frequency. When the calibration circuit is started, one down-counter running on a selectable clock (DOWNSEL in CMU_CALCTRL) and one up-counter running on a selectable clock (UPSEL in CMU_CALCTRL) are started
simultaneously. The top value for the down-counter must be written to CMU_CALCNT before calibration is started. The down-counter
counts for CMU_CALCNT+1 cycles. When the down-counter has reached 0, the up-counter is sampled and the CALRDY interrupt flag
is set. If CONT in CMU_CALCTRL is cleared, the counters are stopped after finishing the ongoing calibration. If continuous mode is
selected by setting CONT in CMU_CALCTRL the down-counter reloads the top value and continues counting and the up-counter restarts from 0. Software can then read out the sampled up-counter value from CMU_CALCNT. The up-counter has counted (the sampled
value)+1 cycles. The ratio between the reference and the oscillator subject to the calibration can easily be found using top+1 and sample+1. Overflows of the up-counter will not occur. If the up-counter reaches its top value before the down-counter reaches 0, the upcounter stays at its top value. Calibration can be stopped by writing CALSTOP in CMU_CMD. With this HW support, it is simple to write
efficient calibration algorithms in software.

10.3.2.9 Automatic HFXO Start
The enabling of the HFXO and its selection as HFCLKSRC source can be performed automatically by hardware. Automatic control of
the HFXO is controlled via the AUTOSTARTSELEM0EM1 and AUTOSTARTEM0EM1 bits in the CMU_HFXOCTRL register. It further
depends on the energy mode of the EFM32 .
An automatic HFXO enable is performed only if any of the following conditions are met:
• EFM32 is in EM0/EM1 and AUTOSTARTEM0EM1 or AUTOSTARTSELEM0EM1 are set to 1.
An automatic HFXO select is performed only if any of the following conditions is met:
• EFM32 is in EM0/EM1 and AUTOSTARTSELEM0EM1 is set to 1.
Whenever any of the conditions for automatic HFXO enable is met, software is not alllowed to disable the HFXO. An attempt to do so
(e.g. by writing 1 to the HFXODIS bit) is ignored and causes the HFXODISERR bit in the CMU_IF register to be set to 1. Similarly,
whenever any of the conditions for automatic HFXO selection is met, software is not alllowed to deselect the HFXO as clock source for
HFSRCCLK. An attempt to do so (e.g. by selecting another clock source via CMU_HFCLKSEL) is ignored and causes the HFXODISERR bit in the CMU_IF register to be set to 1. Note that CMUERR is not implied by HFXODISERR. CMUERR will not get set to 1 for
the above scenarios in which HFXODISERR gets set.
Software can only disable or deselect the HFXO after removing all of the HFXO automatic enable or select reasons. Note that if the
autostart functionality is not used, software can always disable or deselect the HFXO even if hardware requires the HFXO as indicated
via HFXOREQ bitfield in CMU_STATUS. The HFXODISERR flag will not get set in that case. The HFXO is only disabled by hardware
upon EM2, EM3 or EM4 entry.
In case that AUTOSTARTSELEM0EM1 is set to 1 in EM0/EM1 (irrespective of the other autostart bits), the HFXO select will occur immediately, even if HFXO is not ready yet. Upon wake-up into EM0/EM1 this can therefore lead to a relatively long startup time as the
system will not start operating from the HFRCO as it would otherwise do.
Note that the user should take care that the settings in the MSC_READCTRL and CMU_CTRL registers, as described in 10.3.3 Configuration For Operating Frequencies, are compatible with 40 MHz HFXO operation before enabling the HFXO automatic startup feature.
A basic automatic HFXO start scenario is shown in Figure 10.13 CMU Automatic startup and selection of HFXO on page 224.

disabling of a running HFRCO is signalled via the HFRCODIS bit in CMU_IF. This only applies to the HFRCO. If for example the LFXO
was used as HFSRCCLK at the time of automatic selection of the HFXO, the LFXO remains unaffected.

10.3.3 Configuration For Operating Frequencies
The HFXO is capable of driving crystals up to 40 MHz, which allows the EFM32 to run at up to this frequency. However, the Memory
System Controller (MSC) and the Low Energy Peripheral Interface need to be configured correctly to allow operation at higher frequencies as explained below.
The MODE bitfield in MSC_READCTRL makes sure the flash is able to operate at the given HFCLK frequency by inserting wait states
for flash accesses. The required settings for controlling flash wait states are shown in Table 10.2 Configuration For Operating Frequencies: Flash Wait States on page 226. The WSHFLE bitfield in CMU_CTRL is used to ensure that the Low Energy Peripheral Interface is
able to operate at the given HFBUSCLK LE frequency by inserting wait states when using this interface. The required settings are shown
in Table 10.3 Configuration For Operating Frequencies: Low Energy Peripheral Interface on page 226. The HFCLKLEPRESC bitfield in
CMU_HFPRESC is used to control the HFCLKLE frequency. This is required in case LE peripherals use HFCLKLE as clock source for
LFACLK or LFECLK. The required settings to ensure a valid operating frequency for LFACLK/LFECLK are shown in Table 10.4 Configuration For Operating Frequencies: Using HFCLKLE as LFACLK/LFECLK on page 226.
Before going to a high frequency, make sure the registers in the table have the correct values. When going down in frequency, make
sure to keep the registers at the values required by the higher frequency until after the switch has been done.

10.3.4 Energy Modes
The availability of oscillators and system clocks depends on the chosen energy mode. Default the high frequency oscillators (HFRCO,
AUXHFRCO, and HFXO) and high frequency clocks (HFSRCLK, HFCLK, HFCORECLK, HFBUSCLK, HFPERCLK, HFCLKLE) are
available downto EM1 Sleep. From EM2 DeepSleep onwards these oscillators and clocks are normally off, although special cases exist
as summarized in Table 10.5 Oscillator and clock availability in Energy Modes on page 227 and Table 9.2 EMU Energy Mode Overview
on page 158. The CMU overview figure in 10.3 Functional Description also indicates which oscillators and clocks can be used in what
energy modes.
The low frequency oscillators (LFRCO and LFXO) are available in all energy modes except in EM3 Stop when they are off by definition.
Default these oscillators are also off in EM4 Hibernate and EM4 Shutoff, but they can be retained on in these states as well if needed.
The ultra low frequency oscillator (ULFRCO) is default on in all energy modes, except for EM4 Shutoff, but it can be retained on in that
state as well if needed. The low frequency clocks (LFACLK, LFBCLK, LFECLK, WDOGCLK, and CRYOCLK) are in various power domains and therefore their availability not only depends on the chosen clock source, but also on the chosen energy mode as indicated in

10.3.5 Clock Output on a Pin
It is possible to configure the CMU to output clocks on the CMU_CLK0 and CMU_CLK1 pins. This clock selection is done using the
CLKOUTSEL0 and CLKOUTSEL1 bitfields respectively in CMU_CTRL. The required output pins must be enabled in the CMU_ROUTEPEN register and the pin locations can be configured in the CMU_ROUTELOC0 register. The following clocks can be output on a
pin:
• HFSRCCLK and HFEXPCLK. The HFSRCCLK is the high frequency clock before any prescaling has been applied. The HFEXPCLK
is a prescaled version of HFCLK as controlled by the HFEXPPRESC bitfield in the CMU_HFPRESC register.
• The unqualified clock output from any of the oscillators (ULFRCO, LFRCO, LFXO, HFXO). Note that these unqualified clocks can
exhibit glitches or skewed duty-cycle during startup and therefore these clock outputs are normally not used before observing the
related ready flag being set to 1 in CMU_STATUS.
• The qualified clock from any of the oscillators (ULFRCO, LFRCO, LFXO, HFXO, HFRCO, AUXHFRCO). A qualified clock will not
have any glitches or skewed duty-cycle during startup. For LFRCO, LFXO and HFXO correct configuration of the TIMEOUT bitfield(s) in CMU_LFRCOCTRL, CMU_LFXOCTRL and CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL respectively is required to guarantee a properly
qualified clock.
HFCLK will not have a 50-50 duty cycle when any other division factor than 1 is used in CMU_HFPRESC (i.e. if PRESC is not equal to
0). In such a case, the exported HFEXPCLK will therefore also not be 50-50 when its division factor is not set to an even number in
CMU_HFEXPPRESC.
10.3.6 Clock Input from a Pin
It is possible to configure the CMU to input a clock from the CMU_CLKI0. This clock can be selected to drive HFSRCCLK and DPLL
reference using CMU_HFCLKSEL and CMU_DPLLCTRL respectively. The required input pins must be enabled in the CMU_ROUTEPEN register and the pin locations can be configured in the CMU_ROUTELOC1 register.
10.3.7 Clock Output on PRS
The CMU can be used as a PRS producer. It can output clocks onto PRS which can be selected by a consumer as CMUCLKOUT0 and
CMUCLKOUT1. The clocks which can be produced via CMUCLKOUT0 and CMUCLKOUT1 are selected via the CLKOUTSEL0 and
CLKOUTSEL1 fields respectively in CMU_CTRL.
Note that the CLKOUTSEL0 and CLKOUTSEL1 fields are also used for selecting which clock is output onto a pin as described in
10.3.5 Clock Output on a Pin. In contrast with clock output on a pin however, output of a clock onto PRS does not depend on any
configuration of the CMU_ROUTEPEN and CMU_ROUTELOC0 registers.
10.3.8 Error Handling
Certain restrictions apply to how and when the CMU registers can be configured as is desribed for the respective registers. Not adhering to these restrictions can lead to unpredictable and non-defined behaviour. Some of these software restrictions are checked in hardware and not adhering to them will cause the CMUERR interrupt flag in CMU_IF to be set to 1. The restrictions impacting CMUERR are
as follows:
• CMU_HFRCOCTRL should not be written while HFRCOBSY in the CMU_SYNCBUSY register is set to 1.
• CMU_AUXHFRCOCTRL should not be written while AUXHFRCOBSY in the CMU_SYNCBUSY register is set to 1.
• CMU_HFXOSTARTUPCTRL, CMU_HFXOSTEADYSTATECTRL and CMU_HFXOTIMEOUTCTRL should not be written while
HFXOBSY in the CMU_SYNCBUSY register is set to 1. Note that writes to CMU_HFXOCTRL do not impact CMUERR. Although
most of its bitfields need to be configured before enabling the HFXO, it it allowed to change the AUTOSTART bits (i.e. AUTOSTARTSELEM0EM1 and AUTOSTARTEM0EM1) at any time.
• HFXO should not be enabled before it has been properly disabled (so only enable HFXO when HFXOENS=0 or HFXOBSY=0). Likewise, HFXO should not be disabled before it has been properly enabled (so only disable HFXO when HFXOENS=1 or HFXOBSY=0).
• CMU_LFRCOCTRL should not be written while LFRCOBSY in the CMU_SYNCBUSY register is set to 1. The GMCCURTUNE bitfield should not be written with a differing value while the LFRCOVREFBSY flag is set to 1.
• CMU_LFXOCTRL should not be written while LFXOBSY in the CMU_SYNCBUSY register is set to 1.
10.3.9 Interrupts
The interrupts generated by the CMU module are combined into one interrupt vector. If CMU interrupts are enabled, an interrupt will be
made if one or more of the interrupt flags in CMU_IF and their corresponding bits in CMU_IEN are set.

10.3.10 Wake-up
The CMU can be (partially) active all the way down to EM4 Shutoff. It can wake up the CPU from EM2 upon LFRCO or LFXO becoming
ready as LFRCORDY and LFXORDY can be used as wake-up interrupt.
10.3.11 Protection
It is possible to lock the control- and command registers to prevent unintended software writes to critical clock settings. This is controlled by the CMU_LOCK register.

10.5.2 CMU_HFRCOCTRL - HFRCO Control Register
Write this register to set the frequency band in which the HFRCO is to operate. Always update all fields in this registers at once by
writing the value for the desired band, which has been obtained from the Device Information page entry for that band. The TUNING,
FINETUNING, FINETUNINGEN and CLKDIV bitfields can be used to tune a specific band (FREQRANGE) of the oscillator to a nonpreconfigured frequency. When changing this setting there will be no glitches on the HFRCO output, hence it is safe to change this
setting even while the system is running on the HFRCO. Only write CMU_HFRCOCTRL when it is ready for an update as indicated by
HFRCOBSY=0 in CMU_SYNCBUSY.

RTCC - Real Time Counter and Calendar

11. RTCC - Real Time Counter and Calendar
Quick Facts
What?
The Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC) is a
32-bit counter ensuring timekeeping in low energy
modes. The RTCC also includes a calendar mode
for easy time and date keeping. In addition, the
RTCC includes 128 bytes of general purpose retention data, allowing persistent data storage in all energy modes except EM4S.

0 1 2 34

Why?
Timekeeping over long time periods while using as
little power as possible is required in many low power applications.
How?
A low frequency oscillator is used as clock signal
and the RTCC has three different Capture/Compare
channels which can trigger wake-up, generate PRS
signalling, or capture system events. 32-bit resolution and selectable prescaling allows the system to
stay in low energy modes for long periods of time
and still maintain reliable timekeeping.

0 1 2 34

11.1 Introduction
The Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC) contains a 32-bit counter/calendar in combination with a 15-bit pre-counter to allow flexible prescaling of the main counter. The RTCC is available in all energy modes except EM4S.
Three individually configurable Capture/Compare channels are available in the RTCC. These can be used to trigger interrupts, generate
PRS signals, capture system events, and to wake the device up from a low energy mode. The RTCC also includes 128 bytes of general
purpose storage, and a Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) calendar mode, enabling easy time and date keeping.

RTCC - Real Time Counter and Calendar
11.3.1 Counter
The RTCC consists of two counters; the 32-bit main counter, RTCC_CNT (RTCC_TIME and RTCC_DATE in calendar mode), and a 15bit pre-counter, RTCC_PRECNT. The pre-counter can be used as an independent counter, or to generate a specific frequency for the
main counter. In both configurations, the pre-counter can be used to generate compare match events or be captured in the Capture/
Compare channels as a result of an external PRS event. Refer to 11.3.2 Capture/Compare Channels for details on how to configure the
Capture/Compare channels for use with the pre-counter.

Figure 11.2. RTCC counters
The RTCC is enabled by setting the ENABLE bit in RTCC_CTRL. When the RTCC is enabled, the pre-counter (RTCC_PRECNT) increments upon each positive clock edge of LFCLKRTCC. If CNTTICK in RTCC_CTRL is set to PRESC, the pre-counter will continue to
count up, wrapping around to zero when it overflows. If CNTTICK in RTCC_CTRL is set to CCV0MATCH, the pre-counter will wrap
around when it hits the value configured in RTCC_CC0_CCV.
The main counter of the RTCC, RTCC_CNT, has two modes; normal mode and calendar mode. In normal mode, the main counter is
available in RTCC_CNT and increments upon each tick given from the pre-counter. Refer to 11.3.1.1 Normal Mode for a description on
how to configure the frequency of these ticks. In calendar mode, the counter value is available in RTCC_TIME and RTCC_DATE, keeping track of seconds, minutes, hours, day of month, day of week, months, and years, all encoded in BCD format. Refer to
11.3.1.2 Calendar Mode for details on this mode. The mode of the main counter is configured in CNTMODE in RTCC_CTRL. The differences between the two modes are summarized below.
• Normal mode
• Incremental counter, RTCC_CNT.
• RTCC_CCx_CCV used for Capture/Compare value.
• Calendar mode
• BCD counters, RTCC_DATE, RTCC_TIME.
• RTCC_CCx_TIME and RTCC_CCx_DATE used for Capture/Compare value.
Note: The mode of the RTCC must be configured for CALENDAR mode in RTCC_CTRL_CNTMODE before writing to the mode dependent registers, RTCC_TIME, RTCC_DATE, RTCC_CCx_TIME, and RTCC_CCx_DATE. Writes to these registers when in NORMAL
mode will be ignored.

RTCC - Real Time Counter and Calendar
11.3.1.1 Normal Mode
The main counter can receive a tick based on different tappings from the pre-counter, allowing the ticks to be power of 2 divisions of the
LFCLKRTCC. For more accurate configuration of the tick frequency, RTCC_CC0_CCV[14:0] can be used as a top value for
RTCC_PRECNT. When reaching the top value, the main counter receives a tick, and the pre-counter wraps around. Table 11.1 RTCC
Resolution vs Overflow, FLFCLK = 32768 Hz on page 293 summarizes the resolutions available when using a 32768 Hz oscillator as
source for LFCLKRTCC.

By default, the counter will keep counting until it reaches the top value, 0xFFFFFFFF, before it wraps around and continues counting
from zero. By setting CCV1TOP in RTCC_CTRL, a Capture/Compare channel 1 compare match will result in the main counter wrapping to 0. The timer will then wrap around on a channel 1 compare match (RTCC_CNT = RTCC_CC1_CCV). If using the CCV1TOP
setting, make sure to set this bit prior to or at the same time the RTCC is enabled. Setting CCV1TOP after enabling the RTCC
(RTCC_CTRL_MODE != DISABLED) may cause unintended operation (e.g. if RTCC_CNT > RTCC_CC1_CCV, RTCC_CNT will wrap
when reaching 0xFFFFFFFF rather than RTCC_CC1_CCV).

RTCC - Real Time Counter and Calendar
11.3.1.2 Calendar Mode
The RTCC includes a calendar mode which implements time and date decoding in hardware. Calendar mode is enabled by configuring
CNTMODE in RTCC_CTRL to CALENDAR. When in calendar mode, the counter value is available in RTCC_TIME and RTCC_DATE.
RTCC_TIME shows seconds, minutes, and hours while RTCC_DATE shows day of month, month, year, and day of week. RTCC_TIME
and RTCC_DATE are encoded in BCD format. In calendar mode, the pre-counter should be configured to give ticks with a period of one
second, i.e. RTCC_CTRL_CNTTICK should be set to PRESC, and the CNTPRESC bitfield of the RTCC_CTRL register should be set
to DIV32768 if a 32768 Hz clock source is used.
In calendar mode, the time and date registers of the capture compare channels, RTCC_CCx_TIME and RTCC_CCx_DATE, are used to
set compare values. Compare values can be set on seconds, minutes, hours, days, and months. Whether day of week, or day of month
is used for a Capture/Compare channel is configured in RTCC_CCx_CTRL_DAYCC in the respective Capture/Compare channel.
The RTCC will automatically compensate for 28-, 29- (leap year), 30-, and 31-day months. The day of week counter,
RTCC_DATE_DAYOW, is a three bit counter incrementing when RTCC_TIME_HOURT overflows, wrapping around every seventh day.
Automatic leap year correction, extending the month of February from 28 to 29 days every fourth year is by default enabled, but can be
disabled by setting the LYEARCORRDIS bit in RTCC_CTRL. The pseudocode for leap year correction is as follows:

if RTCC_DATE_YEART modulo 2 = 0:
if RTCC_DATE_YEARU modulo 4 = 0:
leap_year = true
else:
leap_year = false
else:
if (RTCC_DATE_YEARU + 2) modulo 4 = 0:
leap_year = true
else:
leap_year = false

The seconds, minute, hour segments are represented in 24-hour BCD format. The month segments are enumerated as shown in Table
11.2 RTCC calendar enumeration on page 294.

11.3.1.3 RTCC Initialization
The counters of the RTCC, RTCC_CNT (RTCC_TIME and RTCC_DATE in calendar mode) and RTCC_PRECNT, can at any time be
written by software, as long as the registers are not locked using RTCC_LOCKKEY. All RTCC registers use the immediate synchronization scheme, described in 4.3.1 Writing.
Note: Writing to the RTCC_PRECNT register may alter the frequency of the ticks for the RTCC_CNT register.

RTCC - Real Time Counter and Calendar
11.3.2 Capture/Compare Channels
Three capture/compare channels are available in the RTCC. Each channel can be configured as input capture or output compare, by
setting the corresponding MODE in the RTCC_CCx_CTRL register.

Figure 11.3. RTCC Compare match and PRS output illustration
In input capture mode the RTCC_CNT (RTCC_TIME and RTCC_DATE in calendar mode) register is captured into the
RTCC_CCx_CCV (RTCC_CCx_TIME and RTCC_CCx_DATE in calendar mode) register when an edge is detected on the selected
PRS input channel. The active capture edge is configured in the ICEDGE control bits.
In output compare mode the compare values are set by writing to the RTCC compare channel registers RTCC_CCx_CCV
(RTCC_CCx_TIME and RTCC_CCx_DATE in calendar mode). These values will be compared to the main counter, RTCC_CNT
(RTCC_TIME and RTCC_DATE in calendar mode), or a mixture of the main counter and the pre-counter, as illustrated in Figure
11.4 RTCC Compare base illustration on page 296. Compare base for the capture compare channels is set by configuring COMPBASE
in RTCC_CCx_CTRL.

and MONTHT bitfields in RTCC_CCx_TIME and RTCC_CCx_DATE are compared to the corresponding bitfields in RTCC_DATE and
RTCC_TIME. The DAYU and DAYT bitfields in RTCC_CCx_DATE will be compared to {RTCC_DATE_DAYOMT, RTCC_DATE_DAYOMU} if DAYCC in RTCC_CCx_CTRL is set to MONTH. If DAYCC in RTCC_CCx_CTRL is set to WEEK, the DAYU and DAYT bitfields in
RTCC_CCx_DATE will be compared to {0b000, RTCC_DATE_DAYOW}.

To generate periodically recurring events, is possible to mask out parts of the compare match values. By configuring COMPMASK in
RTCC_CCx_CTRL, parts of the compare values will be masked out, limiting which part of the compare register being subject to comparison with the counter. Figure 11.6 RTCC Compare mask illustration, COMPMASK=11 on page 297 illustrates the effect of COMPMASK when in normal mode and calendar mode.

Upon a compare match, the respective Capture/Compare interrupt flag CCx is set. Additionally, the event selected by the CMOA setting
is generated on the corresponding PRS output. This is illustrated in Figure 11.3 RTCC Compare match and PRS output illustration on
page 295.
11.3.3 Interrupts and PRS Output
The RTCC has one interrupt for each of its 3 Capture/Compare channels, CC0, CC1, and CC2. Each Capture/Compare channel has a
PRS output with configurable actions upon compare match.
The interrupt flag CNTTICK is set each time the main counter receives a tick (each second in calendar mode). In calendar mode, there
are also interrupt flags being set each minute, hour, day, week, and month.
Upon oscillator failure detection, the OSCFAIL flag will be set.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 297

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

RTCC - Real Time Counter and Calendar
11.3.3.1 Main Counter Tick PRS Output
To output the ticks for the main counter on PRS, it is possible to use a Capture/Compare channel and mask all the bits, i.e.
RTCC_CCx_CTRL_COMPBASE=CNT and RTCC_CCx_CTRL_COMPMASK=31. PRS output of main counter ticks does not work if
the main counter is not prescaled.
Note:
To be able to mask all bits in the main counter, RTCC_CTRL_CNTMODE has to be set to CALENDAR. In NORMAL mode, the least
significant bit can not be masked out.

11.3.4 Energy Mode Availability
The RTCC is available in all Energy Modes except EM4S. To enable RTCC operation in EM4H, the EMU_EM4CTRL register in the
EMU has to be configured. Any enabled RTCC interrupt will wake the system up from EM4H; if EM4WU if RTCC_EM4WUEN is set.
Refer to 9. EMU - Energy Management Unit for details on how to configure the EMU.
11.3.5 Register Lock
To prevent accidental writes to the RTCC registers, the RTCC_LOCKKEY register can be written to any other value than the unlock
value. To unlock the register, write the unlock value to RTCC_LOCKKEY. Registers affected by this lock are:
• RTCC_CTRL
• RTCC_PRECNT
• RTCC_CNT
• RTCC_TIME
• RTCC_DATE
• RTCC_IEN
• RTCC_POWERDOWN
• RTCC_CCx_CTRL
• RTCC_CCx_CCV
• RTCC_CCx_TIME
• RTCC_CCx_DATE
11.3.6 Oscillator Failure Detection
To be able to detect OSC failure, the RTCC includes a security mechanism ensuring that at least three OSC cycles are detected within
one period of the ULFRCO. If no OSC cycles are detected, the OSCFAIL interrupt flag is set. OSC failure detection is enabled by setting the OSCFDETEN bit in RTCC_CTRL.
11.3.7 Retention Registers
The RTCC includes 32 x 32 bit registers which can be retained in all energy modes except EM4S. The registers are accessible through
the RETx_REG registers. Retention is by default enabled in EM0 Active through EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff. The registers can be shut off
to save power by setting the RAM bit in RTCC_POWERDOWN.
Note:
The retention registers are mapped to a RAM instance and have undefined state out of reset.

11.3.8 Frame Controller Interface
For easy timestamping of frames, RTCC_CC2_CCV is directly available for the Frame Controller, FRC.
11.3.9 Debug Session
By default, the RTCC is halted when code execution is halted from the debugger. By setting the DEBUGRUN bit in the RTCC_CTRL
register, the RTCC will continue to run even when the debugger has halted the system.

WDOG - Watchdog Timer

12. WDOG - Watchdog Timer
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

The WDOG (Watchdog Timer) resets the system in
case of a fault condition, and can be enabled in all
energy modes as long as the low frequency clock
source is available.
Why?
Counter value
Watchdog clear

System reset

Timeout period

If a software failure or external event renders the
MCU unresponsive, a Watchdog timeout will reset
the system to a known, safe state.
How?

Time

An enabled Watchdog Timer implements a configurable timeout period. If the CPU fails to re-start the
Watchdog Timer before it times out, a full system reset will be triggered. The Watchdog consumes insignificant power, and allows the device to remain safely in low energy modes for up to 256 seconds at a
time.

12.1 Introduction
The purpose of the watchdog timer is to generate a reset in case of a system failure to increase application reliability. The failure can be
caused by a variety of events, such as an ESD pulse or a software failure.
12.2 Features
• Clock input from selectable oscillators
• Internal 32 kHz RC oscillator
• Internal 1 kHz RC oscillator
• External 32.768 kHz XTAL oscillator
• Configurable timeout period from 9 to 256k watchdog clock cycles
• Individual selection to keep running or freeze when entering EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop
• Selection to keep running or freeze when entering debug mode
• Selection to block the CPU from entering Energy Mode 4
• Selection to block the CMU from disabling the selected watchdog clock
• Configurable warning interrupt at 25%,50%, or 75% of the timeout period
• Configurable window interrupt at 12.5%,25%,37.5%,50%,62.5%,75%,87.5% of the timeout period
• Timeout interrupt
• PRS as a watchdog clear
• Interrupt for the event where a PRS rising edge is absent before a software reset
12.3 Functional Description
The watchdog is enabled by setting the EN bit in WDOGn_CTRL. When enabled, the watchdog counts up to the period value configured through the PERSEL field in WDOGn_CTRL. If the watchdog timer is not cleared to 0 (by writing a 1 to the CLEAR bit in
WDOGn_CMD) before the period is reached, the chip is reset. If a timely clear command is issued, the timer starts counting up from 0
again. The watchdog can optionally be locked by writing the LOCK bit in WDOGn_CTRL. Once locked, it cannot be disabled or reconfigured by software.
When the EN bit in WDOGn_CTRL is cleared to 0, the watchdog counter is reset.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 319

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

WDOG - Watchdog Timer
12.3.1 Clock Source
Three clock sources are available for use with the watchdog, through the CLKSEL field in WDOGn_CTRL. The corresponding clocks
must be enabled in the CMU. The SWOSCBLOCK bit in WDOGn_CTRL can be written to prevent accidental disabling of the selected
clocks. Also, setting this bit will automatically start the selected oscillator source when the watchdog is enabled. The PERSEL field in
WDOGn_CTRL is used to divide the selected watchdog clock, and the timeout for the watchdog timer can be calculated with the formula:
TTIMEOUT = (23+PERSEL + 1) / f
where f is the frequency of the selected clock.
When the watchdog is enabled, it is recommended to clear the watchdog before changing PERSEL.
To use this module, the LE interface clock must be enabled in CMU_HFCORECLKEN0, in addition to the module clock.
12.3.2 Debug Functionality
The watchdog timer can either keep running or be frozen when the device is halted by a debugger. This configuration is done through
the DEBUGRUN bit in WDOGn_CTRL. When code execution is resumed, the watchdog will continue counting where it left off.
12.3.3 Energy Mode Handling
The watchdog timer can be configured to either keep on running or freeze when entering EM2 DeepSleep or EM3 Stop. The configuration is done individually for each energy mode in the EM2RUN and EM3RUN bits in WDOGn_CTRL. When the watchdog has been
frozen and is re-entering an energy mode where it is running, the watchdog timer will continue counting where it left off. For the watchdog there is no difference between EM0 Active and EM1 Sleep. The watchdog does not run in EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff. If EM4BLOCK in
WDOGn_CTRL is set, the CPU will be prevented from entering EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff by software request.
Note:
If the WDOG is clocked by the LFXO or LFRCO, writing the SWOSCBLOCK bit will prevent the CPU from entering EM3 Stop. When
running from the ULFRCO, writing the SWOSCBLOCK bit will prevent the CPU from entering EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff.

12.3.4 Register access
Since this module is a Low Energy Peripheral, and runs off a clock which is asynchronous to the HFCORECLK, special considerations
must be taken when accessing registers. Please refer to 4.3 Access to Low Energy Peripherals (Asynchronous Registers) for a description on how to perform register accesses to Low Energy Peripherals. Note that clearing the EN bit in WDOGn_CTRL will reset the
WDOG module, which will halt any ongoing register synchronization.
Note:
Never write to the WDOG registers when it is disabled, except to enable the watchdog by setting the EN bitfield in WDOGn_CTRL.

12.3.5 Warning Interrupt
The watchdog implements a warning interrupt which can be configured to occur at approximately 25%, 50%, or 75% of the timeout
period through the WARNSEL field of the WDOGn_CTRL register.This interrupt can be used to wake up the cpu for clearing the watchdog. The warning point for the watchdog timer can be calculated with the formula:
TWARNING = (23+PERSEL) * (WARNSEL / 4) + 1) / f,
where f is the frequency of the selected clock.
When the watchdog is enabled, it is recommended to clear the watchdog before changing WARNSEL.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 320

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

WDOG - Watchdog Timer
12.3.6 Window Interrupt
This interrupt occurs when the watchdog is cleared below a certain threshold. This threshold is given by the formula:
TWARNING = (23+PERSEL) * (WINSEL/8) + 1)/f,
where f is the frequency of the selected clock.
This value will be approximately 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%, 75%, or 87.5% of the timeout value based on the WINSEL field of
the WDOGn_CTRL. Figure 12.2 WDOG Warning, Window, and Timeout on page 321 illustrates the warning, the window, and the timeout interrupts. Also, it shows where the prs rising edge needs to happen. The prs edge detection feature is discussed later.

12.3.7 PRS as Watchdog Clear
The first PRS channel (selected by register WDOGn_PCH0_PRSCTRL) can be used to clear the watchdog counter. To enable this feature, CLRSRC must be set to 1. Figure 12.2 PRS Clearing WDOG on page 322 shows how the PRS channel takes over the wdog
clear function. Clearing the WDOG with the PRS is mutually exclusive of clearing the WDT by software.

The PRS (Peripheral Reflex System) allows configurable, fast, and autonomous communication between peripherals.
Why?

Timer

PRS
Ch

ADC
DMA

PRS
Ch

Events and signals from one peripheral can be used
as input signals or triggers by other peripherals. Besides reducing software overhead and thus current
consumption, this reduces latency and ensures predictable timing.
How?
Without CPU intervention the peripherals can send
Reflex signals (both pulses and level) to each other
in single- or chained steps. The peripherals can be
set up to perform actions based on the incoming Reflex signals. This results in improved system performance and reduced energy consumption.

13.1 Introduction
The Peripheral Reflex System (PRS) is a network allowing direct communication between different peripheral modules without involving
the CPU. Peripheral modules which send out Reflex signals are called producers. The PRS routes these reflex signals through reflex
channels to consumer peripherals which perform actions depending on the Reflex signals received. The format for the Reflex signals is
not given, but edge triggers and other functionality can be applied by the PRS.
13.2 Features
• 12 Configurable Reflex Channels
• Each channel can be connected to any producing peripheral, including the PRS channels
• Consumers can choose which channel to listen to
• Selectable edge detector (Rising, falling and both edges)
• Configurable AND and OR between channels
• Optional channel invert
• PRS can generate event to CPU
• Two independent DMA requests based on PRS channels
• Software controlled channel output
• Configurable level
• Triggered pulses

PRS - Peripheral Reflex System
13.3 Functional Description
An overview of the PRS module is shown in Figure 13.1 PRS Overview on page 335. The PRS contains 12 Reflex channels. All channels can select any Reflex signal offered by the producers. The consumers can choose which PRS channel to listen to and perform
actions based on the Reflex signals routed through that channel. The Reflex signals can be both edge signals and level signals.

Figure 13.1. PRS Overview

13.3.1 Channel Functions
Different functions can be applied to a reflex signal within the PRS. Each channel includes an edge detector to enable generation of
pulse signals from level signals. The PRS channels can also be manually triggered by writing to PRS_SWPULSE or PRS_SWLEVEL.
SWLEVEL[n] is a programmable level for each channel and holds the value it is programmed to. Setting SWPULSE[n] will cause the
PRS channel to output a high pulse that is one HFBUSCLK cycle wide. The SWLEVEL[n] and SWPULSE[n] signals are then XOR'ed
with the selected input from the producers to form the output signal sent to the consumers listening to the channel. For example, when
SWLEVEL[n] is set, if a producer produces a signal of 1, this will cause a channel output of 0.
13.3.1.1 Asynchronous Mode
Reflex channels can operate in two modes, synchronous or asynchronous. In synchronous mode reflex signals are clocked on the
HFCLK, and can be used by any reflex consumer. However, this will not work in EM2/EM3, since the HFCLK will be turned off.
Asynchronous reflex channels are not clocked on HFCLK, and can be used even in EM2/EM3. However, the asynchronous mode can
only be used by a subset of the reflex consumers.
The asynchronous reflex signals generated by the producers are indicated in the SIGSEL field in PRS_CHx_CTRL. The consumers
capable of utilizing asynchronous reflex signals include the LEUART and the PCNT. The USART can also consume some particular
asynchronous signals. Please refer to the respective modules for details on how to configure them to use the PRS.
Note: If a Reflex channel with ASYNC set is used in a consumer not supporting asynchronous reflexes, the behaviour is undefined

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

PRS - Peripheral Reflex System
13.3.1.2 Edge Detection and Clock Domains
Using EDSEL in PRS_CHx_CTRL, edge detection can be applied to a PRS signal. When edge detection is enabled, changes in the
PRS input will result in a pulse on the PRS channel. This requires that the ASYNC bit in PRS_CHx_CTRL is cleared. Signals on the
PRS input must be at least one HFBUSCLK period wide in order to be detected properly. This applies to all cases when ASYNC is not
used in the PRS.
For communication between peripherals on different prescaled clocks (e.g. between peripherals on HFBUSCLK and HFPERCLK),
there are two options. For level signals, no action is needed, but software must make sure that the level signals are held long enough
for the destination domain to detect them. For pulse signals, edge detection should be enabled (by configuring EDSEL in
PRS_CHx_CTRL to positive edge, negative edge, or both) and STRETCH in PRS_CHx_CTRL should be set. When edge detection
and stretch are enabled on a PRS source, the output on the PRS channel is held long enough for the destination domain to detect the
pulse. This also works if there are multiple destination domains running at different frequencies.
13.3.1.3 Configurable PRS Logic
Each PRS channel has three logic functions that can be used by themselves or in combination. The selected PRS source can be
AND'ed with the next PRS channel output, OR'ed with the previous PRS channel output and inverted. This is shown in Figure 13.1 PRS
Overview on page 335. The order of the functions is important. If OR and AND are enabled at the same time, AND is applied first, and
then OR.

Figure 13.2. Configurable PRS Logic
In addition to the logic functions that can combine a PRS channel with one of its neighbors, a PRS channel can also select any other
PRS channel as input. This can allow relatively complex logic functions to be created.
13.3.2 Producers
Through SOURCESEL in PRS_CHx_CTRL, each PRS channel selects signal producers. Each producer outputs one or more signals
which can be selected by setting the SIGSEL field in PRS_CHx_CTRL. Setting the SOURCESEL bits to 0 (Off) leads to a constant 0
output from the input mux. An overview of the available producers can be found in the SOURCESEL and SIGSEL fields in
PRS_CHx_CTRL.

13.3.3 Consumers
Consumer peripherals (Listed in Table 13.1 Reflex Consumers on page 337) can be set to listen to a PRS channel and perform an
action based on the signal received on that channel. While most consumers expect a pulse input, some can handle level inputs as well.

13.3.4 Event on PRS
The PRS can be used to send events to the MCU. This is very useful in combination with the Wait For Event (WFE) instruction. A single
PRS channel can be selected for this using SEVONPRSSEL in PRS_CTRL, and the feature is enabled by setting SEVONPRS in the
same register.
Using SEVONPRS, one can e.g. set up a timer to trigger an event to the MCU periodically, every time letting the MCU pass through a
WFE instruction in its program. This can help in performance-critical sections where timing is known, and the goal is to wait for an
event, then execute some code, then wait for an event, then execute some code and so on.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

PRS - Peripheral Reflex System
13.3.5 DMA Request on PRS
Up to two independent DMA requests can be generated by the PRS. The PRS signals triggering the DMA requests are selected with
the DMAREQxSEL fields in DMA_CTRL. The DMA requests are cleared on write to the DMAREQxSEL fields and when the DMA services the requests. The requests are set whenever the selected PRS signals are high.
The selected PRS signals must have ASYNC cleared when they are used as inputs to the DMA. Edge detection in the PRS can be
enabled to only trigger transfers on edges.
13.3.6 Example
The example below (illustrated in Figure 13.3 TIMER0 overflow starting ADC0 single conversions through PRS channel 5. on page
338) shows how to set up ADC0 to start single conversions every time TIMER0 overflows (one HFPERCLK cycle high pulse), using
PRS channel 5:
• Set SOURCESEL in PRS_CH5_CTRL to TIMER0 as input to PRS channel 5.
• Set SIGSEL in PRS_CH5_CTRL to select the overflow signal (from TIMER0).
• Configure ADC0 with the desired conversion set-up.
• Set SINGLEPRSEN in ADC0_SINGLECTRL to 1 to enable single conversions to be started by a high PRS input signal.
• Set SINGLEPRSSEL in ADC0_SINGLECTRL to 0x5 to select PRS channel 5 as input to start the single conversion.
• Start TIMER0 with the desired TOP value, an overflow PRS signal is output automatically on overflow.
Note that the ADC results needs to be fetched either by the CPU or DMA.

The Pulse Counter (PCNT) decodes incoming pulses. The module has a quadrature mode which may
be used to decode the speed and direction of a mechanical shaft. PCNT can operate in EM0 Active
down to EM3 Stop.
Reload value

Interrupt

Quadrature code

Why?
The PCNT generates an interrupt after a specific
number of pulses (or rotations), eliminating the need
for timing- or I/O interrupts and CPU processing to
measure pulse widths, etc.
How?
PCNT uses the LFACLK or may be externally
clocked from a pin. The module incorporates an 16bit up/down-counter to keep track of incoming pulses
or rotations.

14.1 Introduction
The Pulse Counter (PCNT) can be used for counting incoming pulses on a single input or to decode quadrature encoded inputs in EM0
Active down to EM3 Stop. It can run from the internal LFACLK while counting pulses on the PCNTn_S0IN pin. Or, alternately, the
PCNTn_S0IN pin may be used as an external clock source that runs both the PCNT counter and register access.

14.3.1 Pulse Counter Modes
The pulse counter can operate in single input oversampling mode (OVSSINGLE), externally clocked single input counter mode (EXTCLKSINGLE), externally clocked quadrature decoder mode (EXTCLKQUAD) and oversampling quadrature decoder modes(OVSQUAD1X, OVSQUAD2X and OVSQUAD4X). The following sections describe operation of each of these modes and how they are enabled. Input timing constraints are described in 14.3.6 Clock Sources and 14.3.7 Input Filter.
14.3.1.1 Single Input Oversampling Mode
This mode is enabled by writing OVSSINGLE to the MODE field in the PCNTn_CTRL register and disabled by writing DISABLE to the
same field. The LFACLK clock source to the pulse counter is configured by clearing PCNT0CLKSEL in the CMU_PCNTCTRL in the
Clock Management Unit (CMU), 10. CMU - Clock Management Unit .
The optional pulse width filter is enabled by setting the FILT bit in the PCNTn_CTRL register. Additionally, the PCNTn_S0IN input may
be inverted, so that falling edges are counted, by setting the EDGE bit in the PCNTn_CTRL register.
If S1CDIR in the PCNTn_CTRL register is cleared, PCNTn_S0IN is the only observed input in this mode. The PCNTn_S0IN input is
sampled by the LFACLK and the number of detected positive or negative edges on PCNTn_S0IN appears in PCNTn_CNT. The counter
may be configured to count down by setting the CNTDIR bit in PCNTn_CTRL. Default is to count up.
The counting direction can also be controlled externally in this mode by setting S1CDIR. This will make the input value on PCNTn_S1IN
decide the direction counted on a PCNTn_S0IN edge. If PCNTn_S1IN is high, the count is done according to CNTDIR in
PCNTn_CTRL. If low, the count direction is opposite.
14.3.1.2 Externally Clocked Single Input Counter Mode
This mode is enabled by writing EXTCLKSINGLE to the MODE field in the PCNTn_CTRL register and disabled by writing DISABLE to
the same field. The external pin clock source is configured by setting PCNT0CLKSEL in the CMU_PCNTCTRL register (10. CMU Clock Management Unit ).
Positive edges on PCNTn_S0IN are used to clock the counter. Similar to the oversampled mode, PCNTn_S1IN is used to determine
the count direction if S1CDIR is set. If not, CNTDIR in PCNTn_CTRL solely defines count direction.
The digital pulse width filter is not available in this mode. The analog de-glitch filter in the GPIO pads is capable of removing some
unwanted noise. However, this mode may be susceptible to spikes and unintended pulses from devices such as mechanical switches,
and is therefore most suited to take input from electronic sensors etc. that generate single wire pulses.

14.3.1.3 Quadrature decoder modes
Two different types of quadrature decoding is supported in the pulse counter: the externally clocked (Asynchronous) quadrature decoding and the oversampling (Synchronous) quadrature decoding. The externally clocked mode supports 1X quadrature decoding whereas
the oversampling mode supports 1X, 2X and 4X quadrature decoding. These modes are described in detail in 14.3.1.4 Externally
Clocked Quadrature Decoder Mode and 14.3.1.5 Oversampling Quadrature Decoder Mode .

14.3.1.4 Externally Clocked Quadrature Decoder Mode
This mode is enabled by writing EXTCLKQUAD to the MODE field in PCNTn_CTRL and disabled by writing DISABLE to the same field.
The external pin clock source is configured by setting PCNT0CLKSEL in the CMU_PCNTCTRL register (10. CMU - Clock Management
Unit ).
In this mode, both edges on PCNTn_S0IN pin are used to sample PCNTn_S1IN pin, in order to decode the quadrature code. A quadrature coded signal contains information about the relative speed and direction of a rotating shaft as illustrated by Figure 14.2 PCNT
Quadrature Coding on page 364, hence the direction of the counter register PCNTn_CNT is controlled automatically.

If PCNTn_S0IN leads PCNTn_S1IN in phase, the direction is clockwise, and if it lags in phase the direction is counter-clockwise. Default behavior is illustrated by Figure 14.2 PCNT Quadrature Coding on page 364.
The counter direction may be read from the DIR bit in the PCNTn_STATUS register. Additionally, the DIRCNG interrupt in the
PCNTn_IF register is generated when a direction change is detected. When a change is detected, the DIR bit in the PCNTn_STATUS
register must be read to determine the current new direction.
Note:
The sector disc illustrated in the figure may be finer grained in some systems. Typically, they may generate 2-4 PCNTn_S0IN wave
periods per 360° rotation.
The direction of the quadrature code and control of the counter is generated by the simple binary function outlined by Table 14.1 PCNT
QUAD Mode Counter Control Function on page 365. Note that this function also filters some invalid inputs that may occur when the
shaft changes direction or temporarily toggles direction.

PCNT - Pulse Counter
14.3.1.5 Oversampling Quadrature Decoder Mode
There are three Oversampling Quadrature Decoder Modes supported: 1X , 2X and 4X. These modes are enabled by writing OVSQUAD1X, OVSQUAD2X and OVSQUAD4X, respectively, to the MODE field in PCNTn_CTRL and disabled by writing DISABLE to the
same field. The LFACLK clock source to the pulse counter must be configured by clearing PCNT0CLKSEL in the CMU_PCNTCTRL in
the Clock Management Unit (CMU), 10. CMU - Clock Management Unit .
The optional pulse width filter is enabled by setting the FILT bit in the PCNTn_CTRL register. The filter applies to both inputs
PCNTn_S0IN and PCNTn_S1IN. The filter length is configured by FILTLEN in PCNTn_OVSCFG register.
Based on the modes selected, the decoder updates the counter on different events. In the OVSQUAD1X mode, the counter is updated
on the rising edge of the PCNTn_S0IN input when counting up, and on the negedge of the PCNTn_S0IN input when counting down. In
the OVSQUAD2X mode, the counter is updated on both edges of PCNTn_S0IN input. In the OVSQUAD4X mode the counter is updated on both edges of both inputs PCNTn_S0IN and PCNTn_S1IN. Table 14.2 PCNT OVSQUAD 1X, 2X and 4X Mode Counter Control
Function on page 366 outlines the increment or decrement of the counter based on the Quadrature Mode selected.
Note:
The decoding behavior of OVSQUAD1X mode is slightly different compared to EXTCLKQUAD mode(also 1X mode). In the EXTCLKQUAD mode, the counter is updated only on the posedge of S0IN input. However, in the OVSQUAD1X mode, the counter is updated on the posedge of S0IN when counting up and on the negedge of S0IN when counting down.

The counter direction can be read from the DIR bit in PCNTn_STATUS register. Additionally, the DIRCNG interrupt in the PCNTn_IF is
generated when the direction change is detected. When a change is detected, the DIR bit in the PCNTn_STATUS register must be read
to determine the new direction.
In the oversampling quadrature decoder modes, the maximum input toggle frequency supported is 8KHz. For frequencies of 8KHz and
higher, incorrect decoding occurs. The different decoding modes and the counter updates are futher illustrated by Figure 14.4 PCNT

Figure 14.6. PCNT Oversampling Quadrature Decoder 4X mode
The above modes, by default are prone to flutter effects in the inputs PCNTn_S0IN and PCNTn_S1IN. When this occurs, the counter
changes directions rapidly causing DIRCNG interrupts and unnecessarily waking the core. To prevent this, set FLUTTERRM in
PCNTn_OVSCFG register. When enabled, flutter is removed, thus preventing unnecessary wakeup of the core. The flutter removal logic works by preventing update of the counter value if the wheel keeps changing direction as a result of flutter. The counter is only updated if the current and previous state transition of the rotation are in the same direction. These state transitions are quadrature decoder
mode specific. The highlighted state trasitions in Figure 14.3 PCNT State transitions for different Oversampling Quadrature Decoder
Modes on page 367 are the ones considered for the different quadrature decoder modes. Figure 14.7 PCNT Oversampling Quadrature
Decoder with Flutter Removal on page 368 shows how the counter is updated for the different quadrature decoder modes with flutter
removal FLUTTERRM enabled in PCNTn_OVSCFG.

PCNT - Pulse Counter
14.3.2 Hysteresis
By default the pulse counter wraps to 0 when passing the configured top value, and wraps to the top value when counting down from 0.
On these events, a system will likely want to wake up to store and track the overflow count. This is fine if the pulse counter is tracking a
monotonic value or a value that does not change directions frequently. In the latter scenario, if the counter changes directions around
the overflow/underflow point, the system will have to wake up frequently to keep track of the rotations, resulting in higher current consumption.
To solve this, the pulse counter has a way of introducing hysteresis to the counter. When HYST in PCNTn_CTRL is set, the pulse counter will always wrap to TOP/2 on underflows and overflows. This takes the counter away from the area where it might overflow or underflow, removing the problem. Figure 14.8 PCNT Hysteresis behavior of Counter on page 369 illustrates the hysteresis behavior.

PCNT - Pulse Counter
14.3.3 Auxiliary counter
To be able to keep explicit track of counting in one direction in addition to the regular counter which counts both up and down, the
auxiliary counter can be used. The pulse counter can, for instance, be configured to keep track of the absolute rotation of the wheel,
while at the same time the auxiliary counter can keep track of how much the wheel has reversed.
The auxiliary counter is enabled by configuring AUXCNTEV in PCNTn_CTRL. It will always count up, but it can be configured whether it
should count up on up-events, down-events or both, keeping track of rotation either way or general movement. The value of the auxiliary counter can be read from the PCNTn_AUXCNT register.
Overflows on the auxiliary counter happen when the auxiliary counter passes the top value of the pulse counter, configured in
PCNTn_TOP. In that event, the AUXOF interrupt flag is set, and the auxiliary counter wraps to 0.
As the auxiliary counter, the main counter can be configured to count only on certain events. This is done through CNTEV in
PCNTn_CTRL, and it is possible like for the auxiliary counter, to make the main counter count on only up and down events. The difference between the counters is that where the auxiliary counter will only count up, the main counter will count up or down depending on
the direction of the count event.

PCNT - Pulse Counter
14.3.4 Triggered compare and clear
The pulse counter features triggered compare and clear. When enabled, a configurable trigger will induce a comparison between the
main counter, PCNTn_CNT, and the top value, PCNTn_TOP. After the comparison, the counter is cleared. The trigger for a compare
and clear event is configured in the TCCMODE bit-field in PCNTn_CTRL. There are two options, LFA and PRS. If LFA is selected, the
pulse counter will be compared with the top value, and cleared every 2N LFA clock cycle (where N is the value of TCCPRESC in
PCNTn_CTRL). If a PRS trigger is selected, the active PRS channel is configured in TCCPRSSEL in PCNTn_CTRL. The PRS input
can be inverted by setting TCCPRSPOL, triggering the compare and clear on the negative edge of the PRS input. The PRS input can
also be used as a gate for the pulse counter clock. This is enabled by setting PRSGATEEN in PCNTn_CTRL.
Note:
When PRSGATEEN is set, the clock to the entire pulse counter will be gated by the PRS input, meaning that register writes will not take
effect while the gated clock is inactive.
Comparison with PCNTn_TOP can be performed in three ways: range, greater than or equal, and less than or equal. TCCCOMP in
PCNTn_CTRL configures comparison mode. Upon a compare match, the TCC interrupt is set, and the PRS output from the pulse
counter is set. The PRS output will remain set until the next compare and clear event. Triggered compare and clear is intended for use
when the pulse counter is configured to count up. In this mode, PCNTn_CNT will not wrap to 0 when hitting PCNTn_TOP, it will keep
counting. In addition, the counter will not overflow, it will rather stop counting, just setting the overflow interrupt flag.
Figure 14.11 PCNT Triggered compare and clear on page 371 shows an overview of the control circuitry for triggered compare and
clear. The control circuitry includes two positive edge detectors (PED) and glitch filters, used to generate clocks for the pulse counter.
The two clock outputs are mutually exclusive: If both edge detectors receive a pulse at the same time, the output pulse from one of
them will be postponed until the other edge detectors output pulse has completed.

PCNT - Pulse Counter
14.3.5 Register Access
The counter-clock domain may be clocked externally. To update the counter-clock domain registers from software in this mode, 2-3
clock pulses on the external clock are needed to synchronize accesses to the externally clocked domain. Clock source switching is
controlled from the registers in the CMU (10. CMU - Clock Management Unit ).
When the RSTEN bit in the PCNTn_CTRL register is set, the PCNT clock domain is asynchronously held in reset. The reset is synchronously released two PCNT clock edges after the RSTEN bit in the PCNTn_CTRL register is cleared by software. This asynchronous
reset restores the reset values in PCNTn_TOP, PCNTn_CNT and other control registers in the PCNT clock domain.
CNTRSTEN works in a similar manner as RSTEN, but only resetting the counter, CNT. Note that the counter is also reset by RSTEN.
AUXCNTRSTEN works in a similar manner as RSTEN, but only resetting the auxiliary counter, PCNTn_AUXCNT. Note that the auxiliary counter is also reset by RSTEN.
Since this module is a Low Energy Peripheral, and runs off a clock which is asynchronous to the HFCORECLK, special considerations
must be taken when accessing registers. Please refer to 4.3 Access to Low Energy Peripherals (Asynchronous Registers) for a description on how to perform register accesses to Low Energy Peripherals.
Note:
PCNTn_TOP and PCNTn_CNT are read-only registers. When writing to PCNTn_TOPB, make sure that the counter value,
PCNTn_CNT, can not exceed the value written to PCNTn_TOPB within two clock cycles.

14.3.6 Clock Sources
The pulse counter may be clocked from two possible clock sources: LFACLK or an external clock. The clock selection is configured by
the PCNT0CLKSEL bit in the CMU_PCNTCTRL in the Clock Management Unit (CMU), 10. CMU - Clock Management Unit . The default clock source is the LFACLK.
This PCNT module may also use PCNTn_S0IN as an external clock to clock the counter (EXTCLKSINGLE mode) and to sample
PCNTn_S1IN (EXTCLKQUAD mode). Setup, hold and max frequency constraints for PCNTn_S0IN and PCNTn_S1IN for these modes
are specified in the device datasheet.
To use this module, the LE interface clock must be enabled in CMU_HFBUSCLKEN0, in addition to the module clock in
CMU_PCNTCTRL.
Note:
PCNT Clock Domain Reset, RSTEN, should be set when changing clock source for PCNT. If changing to an external clock source, the
clock pin has to be enabled as input prior to de-asserting RSTEN. Changing clock source without asserting RSTEN results in undefined
behaviour.

14.3.7 Input Filter
An optional pulse width filter is available in OVSSINGLE and OVSQUAD modes, when LFACLK is selected as a clock source for the
Pulse Counter in CMU 10. CMU - Clock Management Unit . The filter is enabled by writing 1 to the FILT bit in the PCNTn_CTRL register. When enabled, the high and low periods of PCNTn_S0IN and PCNTn_S1IN must be stable for a programmable number of consecutive clock cycles before the edge is passed to the edge detector. The filter length should be programmed in FILTLEN field of the
PCNTn_OVSCFG register.
The filter length is given by Figure 14.12 PCNT Input Filter length Equation on page 372:
Filter length = (FILTLEN + 5) LFACLK cycles
Figure 14.12. PCNT Input Filter length Equation
The maximum filter length configured is 260 LFACLK cycles.
In EXTCLKSINGLE and EXTCLKQUAD mode, there is no digital pulse width filter available.

PCNT - Pulse Counter
14.3.8 Edge Polarity
The edge polarity can be set by configuring the EDGE bit in the PCNTn_CTRL register. When this bit is cleared, the pulse counter
counts positive edges of PCNTn_S0IN input. When this bit is set, the pulse counter counts negative edges in OVSSINGLE mode. Also,
when the EDGE bit is set in the OVSSINGLE and EXTCLKSINGLE modes, the PCNTn_S1IN input is inverted. In OVSQUAD 1X-4X
modes the EDGE bit inverts both inputs.
Note:
The EDGE bit in PCNTn_CTRL has no effect in EXTCLKQUAD mode.

14.3.9 PRS and PCNTn_S0IN,PCNTn_S1IN Inputs
It is possible to receive input from PRS on both PCNTn_S0IN (or PCNTn_S1IN) by setting S0PRSEN (or S1PRSEN) in PCNTn_INPUT.
The PRS channel used can be selected using S0PRSSEL (or S1PRSSEL) in PCNTn_INPUT.
In the Oversampling quadrature decoder modes, the input frequency should be less than 8KHz to ensure correct functionality.
PCNT module generates three PRS outputs the TCC PRS output, the CNT OF/UF PRS output and the CNT DIR PRS output. The TCC
PRS is generated on compare match of TCC event. The CNT OF/UF combined PRS is generated when the counter overflow or underflows. The CNT DIR PRS is a level PRS and indicates the current direction of count of counter CNT
Note:
S0PRSEN,S1PRSEN,S0PRSSEL,S1PRSSEL should only be altered when RSTEN in PCNTn_CTRL is set.

14.3.10 Interrupts
The interrupt generated by PCNT uses the PCNTn_INT interrupt vector. Software must read the PCNTn_IF register to determine which
module interrupt that generated the vector invocation.
14.3.10.1 Underflow and Overflow Interrupts
The underflow interrupt flag (UF) is set when the counter counts down from 0. I.e. when the value of the counter is 0 and a new pulse is
received. The PCNTn_CNT register is loaded with the PCNTn_TOP value after this event.
The overflow interrupt flag (OF) is set when the counter counts up from the PCNTn_TOP (reload) value. I.e. if PCNTn_CNT =
PCNTn_TOP and a new pulse is received. The PCNTn_CNT register is loaded with the value 0 after this event.

14.3.10.2 Direction Change Interrupt
The PCNTn_PCNT module sets the DIRCNG interrupt flag (PCNTn_IF register) for EXTCLKQUAD and OVSQUAD1X-4X modes when
the direction of the quadrature code changes. The behavior of this interrupt in the EXTCLKQUAD mode is illustrated by Figure

14.3.11 Cascading Pulse Counters
When two or more Pulse Counters are available, it is possible to cascade them. For example two 16-bit Pulse Counters can be cascaded to form a 32-bit pulse counter. This can be done with the help of the CNT UF/OF PRS and CNT DIR PRS ouputs. The figure Figure
14.14 PCNT Cascading to two 16-bit PCNT to form a 32-bit PCNT on page 375 illustrates this structure.

Figure 14.14. PCNT Cascading to two 16-bit PCNT to form a 32-bit PCNT
For cascading of Pulse Counters to work, the PCNT1 according to the figure Figure 14.14 PCNT Cascading to two 16-bit PCNT to form
a 32-bit PCNT on page 375 should be programmed in EXTCLKSINGLE mode and its S0IN and S1IN inputs should be configured to
prs_ufof and prs_dir of PCNT0 respectively. In addition to this, a strict programming sequence needs to be followed to ensure both
PCNTs are in sync with each other.
• Configure PCNT0 registers. eg. PCNT0_INPUT,PCNT0_CTRL,PCNT0_OVSCFG etc.
• Wait for PCNT0_SYCNBUSY to be cleared to ensure the registers are synchronized to the asynchronous clock domain.
• Hold PCNT0 in sw reset by setting PCNT0_CTRL_RSTEN.
• Configure PCNT1_CTRL to EXTCLKSINLE mode with S1CDIR and CNTDIR bit set. Configure INPUT to accept "prs_ufof" and
"prs_dir" of PCNT0 on S0IN and S1IN respectively.
• Wait for PCNTn_SYCNBUSY to be cleared to ensure the registers are synchronized to the asynchronous clock domain. Use three
PRS_SWPULSE on the S0IN prs channel to ensure this synchronization.
• Hold PCNT1 in sw reset by setting PCNT1_CTRL_RSTEN.
• Clear PCNT1_CTRL_RSTEN and synchronize it by asserting two PRS_SWPULSE on the S0IN input.
• Finally clear PCNT0_CTRL_RSTEN and start counting.
Note:
When RSTEN in PCNTn_CTRL is set, the TOP value in the Pulse Counter gets cleared. Therefore, in order to update the TOP value
while RSTEN is set, assert TOPBHFEN bit in PCNTn_CTRL. This will update the TOP value with the TOPB value even without having
to synchronize the TOPB value. This only works if TOPBHFEN and TOPB are configured while RSTEN in PCNTn_CTRL is set.

VDD

Other I2C

I2C
EEPROM

I2C is a popular serial bus that enables communication with a number of external devices using only
two I/O pins.
How?
With the help of DMA, the I2C interface allows I2C
communication with minimal CPU intervention. Address recognition is available in all energy modes
(except EM4), allowing the MCU to wait for data on
the I2C-bus with sub-µA current consumption.

15.1 Introduction
The I2C module provides an interface between the MCU and a serial I2C-bus. It is capable of acting as both a master and a slave and
supports multi-master buses. Standard-mode, fast-mode and fast-mode plus speeds are supported, allowing transmission rates all the
way from 10 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s. Slave arbitration and timeouts are also provided to allow implementation of an SMBus compliant system. The interface provided to software by the I2C module allows precise control of the transmission process and highly automated
transfers. Automatic recognition of slave addresses is provided in all energy modes (except EM4).
15.2 Features
• True multi-master capability
• Support for different bus speeds
• Standard-mode (Sm) bit rate up to 100 kbit/s
• Fast-mode (Fm) bit rate up to 400 kbit/s
• Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) bit rate up to 1 Mbit/s
• Arbitration for both master and slave (allows SMBus ARP)
• Clock synchronization and clock stretching
• Hardware address recognition
• 7-bit masked address
• General call address
• Active in all energy modes (except EM4)
• 10-bit address support
• Error handling
• Clock low timeout
• Clock high timeout
• Arbitration lost
• Bus error detection
• Separate receive/ transmit 2-level buffers, with additional separate shift registers
• Full DMA support

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.1 I2C-Bus Overview
The I2C-bus uses two wires for communication; a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) as shown in Figure 15.2 I2C-Bus
Example on page 397. As a true multi-master bus it includes collision detection and arbitration to resolve situations where multiple
masters transmit data at the same time without data loss.

Figure 15.2. I2C-Bus Example
Each device on the bus is addressable by a unique address, and an I2C master can address all the devices on the bus, including other
masters.
Both the bus lines are open-drain. The maximum value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated as a function of the maximal rise-time tr
for the given bus speed, and the estimated bus capacitance Cb as shown in Figure 15.3 I2C Pull-up Resistor Equation on page 397.
Rp(max) = (tr/0.8473) x Cb.
Figure 15.3. I2C Pull-up Resistor Equation
The maximal rise times for 100 kHz, 400 kHz and 1 MHz I2C are 1 µs, 300 ns and 120 ns respectively.
Note:
The GPIO drive strength can be used to control slew rate.
Note:
If Vdd drops below the voltage on SCL and SDA lines, the MCU could become back powered and pull the SCL and SDA lines low.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.1.1 START and STOP Conditions
START and STOP conditions are used to initiate and stop transactions on the I2C-bus. All transactions on the bus begin with a START
condition (S) and end with a STOP condition (P). As shown in Figure 15.4 I2C START and STOP Conditions on page 398, a START
condition is generated by pulling the SDA line low while SCL is high, and a STOP condition is generated by pulling the SDA line high
while SCL is high.

S

P

START condition

STOP condition

Figure 15.4. I2C START and STOP Conditions
The START and STOP conditions are easily identifiable bus events as they are the only conditions on the bus where a transition is
allowed on SDA while SCL is high. During the actual data transmission, SDA is only allowed to change while SCL is low, and must be
stable while SCL is high. One bit is transferred per clock pulse on the I2C-bus as shown in Figure 15.5 I2C Bit Transfer on I2C-Bus on
page 398.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.1.2 Bus Transfer
When a master wants to initiate a transfer on the bus, it waits until the bus is idle and transmits a START condition on the bus. The
master then transmits the address of the slave it wishes to interact with and a single R/W bit telling whether it wishes to read from the
slave (R/W bit set to 1) or write to the slave (R/W bit set to 0).
After the 7-bit address and the R/W bit, the master releases the bus, allowing the slave to acknowledge the request. During the next bitperiod, the slave pulls SDA low (ACK) if it acknowledges the request, or keeps it high if it does not acknowledge it (NACK).
Following the address acknowledge, either the slave or master transmits data, depending on the value of the R/W bit. After every 8 bits
(one byte) transmitted on the SDA line, the transmitter releases the line to allow the receiver to transmit an ACK or a NACK. Both the
data and the address are transmitted with the most significant bit first.
The number of bytes in a bus transfer is unrestricted. The master ends the transmission after a (N)ACK by sending a STOP condition
on the bus. After a STOP condition, any master wishing to initiate a transfer on the bus can try to gain control of it. If the current master
wishes to make another transfer immediately after the current, it can start a new transfer directly by transmitting a repeated START
condition (Sr) instead of a STOP followed by a START.
Examples of I2C transfers are shown in Figure 15.6 I2C Single Byte Write to Slave on page 399, Figure 15.7 I2C Double Byte Read

15.3.1.3 Addresses
I2C supports both 7-bit and 10-bit addresses. When using 7-bit addresses, the first byte transmitted after the START-condition contains
the address of the slave that the master wants to contact. In the 7-bit address space, several addresses are reserved. These addresses
are summarized in Table 15.1 I2C Reserved I2C Addresses on page 400, and include a General Call address which can be used to
broadcast a message to all slaves on the I2C-bus.

15.3.1.4 10-bit Addressing
To address a slave using a 10-bit address, two bytes are required to specify the address instead of one. The seven first bits of the first
byte must then be 1111 0XX, where XX are the two most significant bits of the 10-bit address. As with 7-bit addresses, the eighth bit of
the first byte determines whether the master wishes to read from or write to the slave. The second byte contains the eight least significant bits of the slave address.
When a slave receives a 10-bit address, it must acknowledge both the address bytes if they match the address of the slave.
When performing a master transmitter operation, the master transmits the two address bytes and then the remaining data, as shown in
Figure 15.9 I2C Master Transmitter/Slave Receiver with 10-bit Address on page 400.

When performing a master receiver operation however, the master first transmits the two address bytes in a master transmitter operation, then sends a repeated START followed by the first address byte and then receives data from the addressed slave. The slave addressed by the 10-bit address in the first two address bytes must remember that it was addressed, and respond with data if the address
transmitted after the repeated start matches its own address. An example of this (with one byte transmitted) is shown in Figure

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.1.5 Arbitration, Clock Synchronization, Clock Stretching
Arbitration and clock synchronization are features aimed at allowing multi-master buses. Arbitration occurs when two devices try to
drive the bus at the same time. If one device drives it low, while the other drives it high, the one attempting to drive it high will not be
able to do so due to the open-drain bus configuration. Both devices sample the bus, and the one that was unable to drive the bus in the
desired direction detects the collision and backs off, letting the other device continue communication on the bus undisturbed.
Clock synchronization is a means of synchronizing the clock outputs from several masters driving the bus at once, and is a requirement
for effective arbitration.
Slaves on the bus are allowed to force the clock output on the bus low in order to pause the communication on the bus and give themselves time to process data or perform any real-time tasks they might have. This is called clock stretching.
Arbitration is supported by the I2C module for both masters and slaves. Clock synchronization and clock stretching is also supported.
15.3.2 Enable and Reset
The I2C is enabled by setting the EN bit in the I2Cn_CTRL register. Whenever this bit is cleared, the internal state of the I2C is reset,
terminating any ongoing transfers.
Note:
When enabling the I2C, the ABORT command or the Bus Idle Timeout feature must be applied prior to use even if the BUSY flag is not
set.

15.3.3 Safely Disabling and Changing Slave Configuration
The I2C slave is partially asynchronous, and some precautions are necessary to always ensure a safe slave disable or slave configuration change. These measures should be taken, if (while the slave is enabled) the user cannot guarantee that an address match will not
occur at the exact time of slave disable or slave configuration change.
Worst case consequences for an address match while disabling slave or changing configuration is that the slave may end up in an
undefined state. To reset the slave back to a known state, the EN bit in I2Cn_CTRL must be reset. This should be done regardless of
whether the slave is going to be re-enabled or not.
15.3.4 Clock Generation
The SCL signal generated by the I2C master determines the maximum transmission rate on the bus. The clock is generated as a division of the peripheral clock, and is given by the following equation:
fSCL = fHFPERCLK/(((Nlow + Nhigh) x (DIV + 1)) + 8),
Figure 15.11. I2C Maximum Transmission Rate
Nlow and Nhigh in combination with the synchronization cycles (discussed below) specify the number of prescaled clock cycles in the low
and high periods of the clock signal respectively. The worst case low and high periods of the signal are:
Thigh >= ((Nhigh) x (DIV + 1) + 4)/fHFPERCLK,
Tlow >= (Nlow x (DIV + 1) + 4)/fHFPERCLK.
Figure 15.12. I2C High and Low Cycles Equations
In worst case, Thigh and Tlow can be 1 fHFPERCLK cycle longer than the number found by above equations due to synchronization uncertainity (i.e., if the synchronization takes 3 fHFPERCLK cycles instead of 2). Similarly, in the worst case the number 8 in the denominator in
fSCL equation can be 9 (if the synchronization cycles were 3 instead of 2 in Thigh or Tlow) or 10 (if synchronization cycles were 3 in both
Thigh and Tlow). The values of Nlow and Nhigh and thus the ratio between the high and low parts of the clock signal is controlled by
CLHR in the I2Cn_CTRL register.
Note:
DIV must be set to 1 during slave mode operation.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.5 Arbitration
Arbitration is enabled by default, but can be disabled by setting the ARBDIS bit in I2Cn_CTRL. When arbitration is enabled, the value
on SDA is sensed every time the I2C module attempts to change its value. If the sensed value is different than the value the I2C module
tried to output, it is interpreted as a simultaneous transmission by another device, and that the I2C module has lost arbitration.
Whenever arbitration is lost, the ARBLOST interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set, any lines held are released, and the I2C device goes idle. If
an I2C master loses arbitration during the transmission of an address, another master may be trying to address it. The master therefore
receives the rest of the address, and if the address matches the slave address of the master, the master goes into either slave transmitter or slave receiver mode.
Note:
Arbitration can be lost both when operating as a master and when operating as a slave.

15.3.6 Buffers

15.3.6.1 Transmit Buffer and Shift Register
The I2C transmitter has a 2-level FIFO transmit buffer and a transmit shift register as shown in Figure 15.1 I2C Overview on page 396.
A byte is loaded into the transmit buffer by writing to I2Cn_TXDATA or 2 bytes can be loaded simultaneously in the transmit buffer by
writing to I2Cn_TXDOUBLE. Figure 15.13 I2C Transmit Buffer Operation on page 402 shows the basics of the transmit buffer. When
the transmit shift register is empty and ready for new data, the byte from the transmit buffer is then loaded into the shift register. The
byte is then kept in the shift register until it is transmitted. When a byte has been transmitted, a new byte is loaded into the shift register
(if available in the transmit buffer). If the transmit buffer is empty, then the shift register also remains empty. The TXC flag in I2Cn_STATUS and the TXC interrupt flags in I2Cn_IF are then set, signaling that the transmit shift register is out of data. TXC is cleared when
new data becomes available, but the TXC interrupt flag must be cleared by software.

Peripheral bus

TXDATA

TX buffer element 1
TXDOUBLE
TX buffer element 0

Shift register

Figure 15.13. I2C Transmit Buffer Operation
The TXBL flags in the I2Cn_STATUS and I2Cn_IF are used to indicate the level of the transmit buffer. TXBIL in I2Cn_CTRL controls the
level at which these flag bits are set. If TXBIL is cleared, the flags are set whenever the transmit buffer becomes empty (used when
transmitting using I2Cn_TXDOUBLE). If TXBIL is set, the flags are set whenever the transmit buffer goes from full to half-empty or empty (used when transmitting with I2Cn_TXDATA). Both the TXBL status flag and the TXBL interrupt flag are cleared automatically when
the condition becomes false.
If an attempt is made to write more bytes to the transmit buffer than the space available, the TXOF interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set,
indicating the overflow. The data already in the buffer remains preserved, and no new data is written.
The transmit buffer and the transmit shift register can be cleared by setting command bit CLEARTX in I2Cn_CMD. This will prevent the
I2C module from transmitting the data in the buffer and the shift register, and will make them available for new data. Any byte currently
being transmitted will not be aborted. Transmission of this byte will be completed.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.6.2 Receive Buffer and Shift Register
The I2C receiver uses a 2-level FIFO receive buffer and a receive shift register as shown in Figure 15.14 I2C Receive Buffer Operation
on page 403. When a byte has been fully received by the receive shift register, it is loaded into the receive buffer if there is room for it,
making the shift register empty to receive another byte. Otherwise, the byte waits in the shift register until space becomes available in
the buffer.

Peripheral bus

RX buffer element 0

RXDATA

RXDOUBLE
RX buffer element 1

Shift register

Figure 15.14. I2C Receive Buffer Operation
When a byte becomes available in the receive buffer, the RXDATAV in I2Cn_STATUS and RXDATAV interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF are set.
When the buffer becomes full, RXFULL in the I2Cn_STATUS and I2Cn_IF are set. The status flags RXDATAV and RXFULL are automatically cleared by hardware when their condition is no longer true. This also goes for the RXDATAV interrupt flag, but the RXFULL
interrupt flag must be cleared by software. When the RXFULL flag is set, notifying that the buffer is full, space is still available in the
receive shift register for one more byte.
The data can be fetched from the buffer in two ways. I2Cn_RXDATA gives access to the received byte (if two bytes are received then
the one received first is fetched first). I2Cn_RXDOUBLE makes it possible to read the two received bytes simultaneously. If an attempt
is made to read more bytes from the buffer than available, the RXUF interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set to signal the underflow, and the data
read from the buffer is undefined.
When using I2Cn_RXDOUBLE to pick data, AUTOACK in I2Cn_CTRL should be set to 1. This ensures that an ACK is automatically
sent out after the first byte is received so that the reception of the next byte can begin. In order to stop receiving data bytes, a NACK
must be sent out through the I2Cn_CMD register.
I2Cn_RXDATAP and I2Cn_RXDOUBLEP can be used to read data from the receive buffer without removing it from the buffer. The
RXUF interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF will never be set as a result of reading from I2Cn_RXDATAP and I2Cn_RXDOUBLEP, but the data read
through I2Cn_RXDATAP when the receive buffer is empty is still undefined.
Once a transaction is complete (STOP sent or received), the receive buffer needs to be flushed (all received data must be read) before
starting a new transaction.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.7 Master Operation
A bus transaction is initiated by transmitting a START condition (S) on the bus. This is done by setting the START bit in I2Cn_CMD. The
command schedules a START condition, and makes the I2C module generate a start condition whenever the bus becomes free.
The I2C-bus is considered busy whenever another device on the bus transmits a START condition. Until a STOP condition is detected,
the bus is owned by the master issuing the START condition. The bus is considered free when a STOP condition is transmitted on the
bus. After a STOP is detected, all masters that have data to transmit send a START condition and begin transmitting data. Arbitration
ensures that collisions are avoided.
When the START condition has been transmitted, the master must transmit a slave address (ADDR) with an R/W bit on the bus. If this
address is available in the transmit buffer, the master transmits it immediately, but if the buffer is empty, the master holds the I2C-bus
while waiting for software to write the address to the transmit buffer.
After the address has been transmitted, a sequence of bytes can be read from or written to the slave, depending on the value of the
R/W bit (bit 0 in the address byte). If the bit was cleared, the master has entered a master transmitter role, where it now transmits data
to the slave. If the bit was set, it has entered a master receiver role, where it now should receive data from the slave. In either case, an
unlimited number of bytes can be transferred in one direction during the transmission.
At the end of the transmission, the master either transmits a repeated START condition (Sr) if it wishes to continue with another transfer, or transmits a STOP condition (P) if it wishes to release the bus. When operating in the master mode, HFPERCLK frequency must
be higher than 2 MHz for Standard-mode, 9 MHz for Fast-mode, and 20 MHz for Fast-mode Plus.

arriving at the right side of the state machine.
Branches in the path through the state machine are the results of bus events and choices made by software, either directly or indirectly.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.7.2 Interactions
Whenever the I2C module is waiting for interaction from software, it holds the bus clock SCL low, freezing all bus activities, and the
BUSHOLD interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set. The action(s) required by software depends on the current state the of the I2C module. This
state can be read from the I2Cn_STATE register.
As an example, Table 15.3 I2C Master Transmitter on page 408 shows the different states the I2C goes through when operating as a
Master Transmitter, i.e., a master that transmits data to a slave. As seen in the table, when a start condition has been transmitted, a
requirement is that there is an address and an R/W bit in the transmit buffer. If the transmit buffer is empty, then the BUSHOLD interrupt
flag is set, and the bus is held until data becomes available in the buffer. While waiting for the address, I2Cn_STATE has a value 0x57,
which can be used to identify exactly what the I2C module is waiting for.
Note:
The bus would never stop at state 0x57 if the address was available in the transmit buffer.
The different interactions used by the I2C module are listed in Table 15.2 I2C Interactions in Prioritized Order on page 406 in a prioritized order. If the I2C module is in such a state that multiple courses of action are possible, then the action chosen is the one that has
the highest priority. For example, after sending out a START, if an address is present in the buffer and a STOP is also pending, then the
I2C will send out the STOP since it has the higher priority.

No interaction is required

The commands marked with a * in Table 15.2 I2C Interactions in Prioritized Order on page 406 can be issued before an interaction is
required. When such a command is issued before it can be used/consumed by the I2C module, the command is set in a pending state,
which can be read from the STATUS register. A pending START command can for instance be identified by PSTART having a high
value.
Whenever the I2C module requires an interaction, it checks the pending commands. If one or a combination of these can fulfill an interaction, they are consumed by the module and the transmission continues without setting the BUSHOLD interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF to get
an interaction from software. The pending status of a command goes low when it is consumed.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 406

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
When several interactions are possible from a set of pending commands, the interaction with the highest priority, i.e., the interaction
closest to the top of Table 15.2 I2C Interactions in Prioritized Order on page 406 is applied to the bus.
Pending commands can be cleared by setting the CLEARPC command bit in I2Cn_CMD.
15.3.7.3 Automatic ACK Interaction
When receiving addresses and data, an ACK command in I2Cn_CMD is normally required after each received byte. When AUTOACK
is set in I2Cn_CTRL, an ACK is always pending, and the ACK-pending bit PACK in I2Cn_STATUS is thus always set, even after an
ACK has been consumed. This is used when data is picked using I2Cn_RXDOUBLE and can also be used with I2Cn_RXDATA in order
to reduce the amount of software interaction required during a transfer.
15.3.7.4 Reset State
After a reset, the state of the I2C-bus is unknown. To avoid interrupting transfers on the I2C-bus after a reset of the I2C module or the
entire MCU, the I 2C-bus is assumed to be busy when coming out of a reset, and the BUSY flag in I2Cn_STATUS is thus set. To be able
to carry through master operations on the I2C-bus, the bus must be idle.
The bus goes idle when a STOP condition is detected on the bus, but on buses with little activity, the time before the I2C module detects that the bus is idle can be significant. There are two ways of assuring that the I2C module gets out of the busy state.
• Use the ABORT command in I2Cn_CMD. When the ABORT command is issued, the I2C module is instructed that the bus is idle.
The I2C module can then initiate master operations.
• Use the Bus Idle Timeout. When SCL has been high for a long period of time, it is very likely that the bus is idle. Set BITO in
I2Cn_CTRL to an appropriate timeout period and set GIBITO in I2Cn_CTRL. If activity has not been detected on the bus within the
timeout period, the bus is then automatically assumed idle, and master operations can be initiated.
Note:
If operating in slave mode, the above approach is not necessary.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.7.5 Master Transmitter
To transmit data to a slave, the master must operate as a master transmitter. Table 15.3 I2C Master Transmitter on page 408 shows
the states the I2C module goes through while acting as a master transmitter. Every state where an interaction is required has the possible interactions listed, along with the result of the interactions. The table also shows which interrupt flags are set in the different states.
The interrupt flags enclosed in parenthesis may be set. If the BUSHOLD interrupt in I2Cn_IF is set, the module is waiting for an interaction, and the bus is frozen. The value of I2Cn_STATE will be equal to the values given in the table when the BUSHOLD interrupt flag is
set, and can be used to determine which interaction is required to make the transmission continue.
The interrupt flag START in I2Cn_IF is set when the I2C module transmits the START.
A master operation is started by issuing a START command by setting START in I2Cn_CMD. ADDR+W, i.e., the address of the slave +
the R/W bit is then required by the I2C module. If this is not available in the transmit buffer, then the bus is held and the BUSHOLD
interrupt flag is set. The value of I2Cn_STATE will then be 0x57. As seen in the table, the I2C module also stops in this state if the
address is not available after a repeated start condition.
To continue, write a byte to I2Cn_TXDATA with the address of the slave in the 7 most significant bits and the least significant bit cleared
(ADDR+W). This address will then be transmitted, and the slave will reply with an ACK or a NACK. If no slave replies to the address,
the response will also be NACK. If the address was acknowledged, the master now has four choices. It can send data by placing it in
I2Cn_TXDATA/ I2Cn_TXDOUBLE (the master should check the TXBL interrupt flag before writing to the transmit buffer), this data is
then transmitted. The master can also stop the transmission by sending a STOP, it can send a repeated start by sending START, or it
can send a STOP and then a START as soon as possible. If the master wishes to make another transfer immediately after the current,
the preferred way is to start a new transfer directly by transmitting a repeated START instead of a STOP followed by a START. This is
so because if a STOP is sent out, then any master wishing to initiate a transfer on the bus can try to gain control of it.
If a NACK was received, the master has to issue a CONT command in addition to providing data in order to continue transmission. This
is not standard I2C, but is provided for flexibility. The rest of the options are similar to when an ACK was received.
If a new byte was transmitted, an ACK or NACK is received after the transmission of the byte, and the master has the same options as
for when the address was sent.
The master may lose arbitration at any time during transmission. In this case, the ARBLOST interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set. If the arbitration was lost during the transfer of an address, and SLAVE in I2Cn_CTRL is set, the master then checks which address was transmitted. If it was the address of the master, then the master goes to slave mode.
After a master has transmitted a START and won any arbitration, it owns the bus until it transmits a STOP. After a STOP, the bus is
released, and arbitration decides which bus master gains the bus next. The MSTOP interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set when a STOP condition is transmitted by the master.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.7.6 Master Receiver
To receive data from a slave, the master must operate as a master receiver, see Table 15.4 I2C Master Receiver on page 410. This is
done by transmitting ADDR+R as the address byte instead of ADDR+W, which is transmitted to become a master transmitter. The address byte loaded into the data register thus has to contain the 7-bit slave address in the 7 most significant bits of the byte, and have
the least significant bit set.
When the address has been transmitted, the master receives an ACK or a NACK. If an ACK is received, the ACK interrupt flag in
I2Cn_IF is set, and if space is available in the receive shift register, reception of a byte from the slave begins. If the receive buffer and
shift register is full however, the bus is held until data is read from the receive buffer or another interaction is made. Note that the STOP
and START interactions have a higher priority than the data-available interaction, so if a STOP or START command is pending, the
highest priority interaction will be performed, and data will not be received from the slave.
If a NACK was received, the CONT command in I2Cn_CMD has to be issued in order to continue receiving data, even if there is space
available in the receive buffer and/or shift register.
After a data byte has been received the master must ACK or NACK the received byte. If an ACK is pending or AUTOACK in
I2Cn_CTRL is set, an ACK is sent automatically and reception continues if space is available in the receive buffer.
If a NACK is sent, the CONT command must be used in order to continue transmission. If an ACK or NACK is issued along with a
START or STOP or both, then the ACK/NACK is transmitted and the reception is ended. If START in I2Cn_CMD is set alone, a repeated start condition is transmitted after the ACK/NACK. If STOP in I2Cn_CMD is set, a stop condition is sent regardless of whether
START is set. If START is set in this case, it is set as pending.
As when operating as a master transmitter, arbitration can be lost as a master receiver. When this happens the ARBLOST interrupt flag
in I2Cn_IF is set, and the master has a possibility of being selected as a slave given the correct conditions.

15.3.8 Bus States
The I2Cn_STATE register can be used to determine which state the I2C module and the I2C bus are in at a given time. The register
consists of the STATE bit-field, which shows which state the I2C module is at in any ongoing transmission, and a set of single-bits,
which reveal the transmission mode, whether the bus is busy or idle, and whether the bus is held by this I2C module waiting for a software response.
The possible values of the STATE field are summarized in Table 15.5 I2C STATE Values on page 412. When this field is cleared, the
I2C module is not a part of any ongoing transmission. The remaining status bits in the I2Cn_STATE register are listed in Table 15.6 I2C
Transmission Status on page 412.

NACK

Only valid when bus is held and STATE is ADDRACK or DATAACK. In that case it is set
if a NACK was received. In all other cases, the bit is cleared.

Note:
I2Cn_STATE reflects the internal state of the I2C module, and therefore only held constant as long as the bus is held, i.e., as long as
BUSHOLD in I2Cn_STATUS is set.

15.3.9 Slave Operation
The I2C module operates in master mode by default. To enable slave operation, i.e., to allow the device to be addressed as an I2C
slave, the SLAVE bit in I2Cn_CTRL must be set. In this case the I2C module operates in a mixed mode, both capable of starting transmissions as a master, and being addressed as a slave. When operating in the slave mode, HFPERCLK frequency must be higher than
2 MHz for Standard-mode, 5 MHz for Fast-mode, and 14 MHz for Fast-mode Plus.

15.3.9.2 Address Recognition
The I2C module provides automatic address recognition for 7-bit addresses. 10-bit address recognition is not fully automatic, but can be
assisted by the 7-bit address comparator as shown in 15.3.11 Using 10-bit Addresses. Address recognition is supported in all energy
modes (except EM4).
The slave address, i.e., the address which the I2C module should be addressed with, is defined in the I2Cn_SADDR register. In addition
to the address, a mask must be specified, telling the address comparator which bits of an incoming address to compare with the address defined in I2Cn_SADDR. The mask is defined in I2Cn_SADDRMASK, and for every zero in the mask, the corresponding bit in the
slave address is treated as a don’t-care, i.e., the 0-masked bits are ignored.
An incoming address that fails address recognition is automatically replied to with a NACK. Since only the bits defined by the mask are
checked, a mask with a value 0x00 will result in all addresses being accepted. A mask with a value 0x7F will only match the exact
address defined in I2Cn_SADDR, while a mask 0x70 will match all addresses where the three most significant bits in I2Cn_SADDR and
the incoming address are equal.
If GCAMEN in I2Cn_CTRL is not set, the start-byte, i.e., the general call address with the R/W bit set is ignored unless it is included in
the defined slave address and and the address mask.
When an address is accepted by the address comparator, the decision of whether to ACK or NACK the address is passed to software.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.9.3 Slave Transmitter
When SLAVE in I2Cn_CTRL is set, the RSTART interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF will be set when repeated START conditions are detected.
After a START or repeated START condition, the bus master will transmit an address along with an R/W bit. If there is no room in the
receive shift register for the address, the bus will be held by the slave until room is available in the shift register. Transmission then
continues and the address is loaded into the shift register. If this address does not pass address recognition, it is automatically
NACK’ed by the slave, and the slave goes to an idle state. The address byte is in this case discarded, making the shift register ready
for a new address. It is not loaded into the receive buffer.
If the address was accepted and the R/W bit was set (R), indicating that the master wishes to read from the slave, the slave now goes
into the slave transmitter mode. Software interaction is now required to decide whether the slave wants to acknowledge the request or
not. The accepted address byte is loaded into the receive buffer like a regular data byte. If no valid interaction is pending, the bus is
held until the slave responds with a command. The slave can reject the request with a single NACK command.
The slave will in that case go to an idle state, and wait for the next start condition. To continue the transmission, the slave must make
sure data is loaded into the transmit buffer and send an ACK. The loaded data will then be transmitted to the master, and an ACK or
NACK will be received from the master.
Data transmission can also continue after a NACK if a CONT command is issued along with the NACK. This is not standard I2C however.
If the master responds with an ACK, it may expect another byte of data, and data should be made available in the transmit buffer. If
data is not available, the bus is held until data is available.
If the response is a NACK however, this is an indication of that the master has received enough bytes and wishes to end the transmission. The slave now automatically goes idle, unless CONT in I2Cn_CMD is set and data is available for transmission. The latter is not
standard I2C.
The master ends the transmission by sending a STOP or a repeated START. The SSTOP interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set when the master transmits a STOP condition. If the transmission is ended with a repeated START, then the SSTOP interrupt flag is not set.
Note:
The SSTOP interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF will be set regardless of whether the slave is participating in the transmission or not, as long as
SLAVE in I2Cn_CTRL is set and a STOP condition is detected
If arbitration is lost at any time during transmission, the ARBLOST interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set, the bus is released and the slave
goes idle.

15.3.9.4 Slave Receiver
A slave receiver operation is started in the same way as a slave transmitter operation, with the exception that the address transmitted
by the master has the R/W bit cleared (W), indicating that the master wishes to write to the slave. The slave then goes into slave receiver mode.
To receive data from the master, the slave should respond to the address with an ACK and make sure space is available in the receive
buffer. Transmission will then continue, and the slave will receive a byte from the master.
If a NACK is sent without a CONT, the transmission is ended for the slave, and it goes idle. If the slave issues both the NACK and
CONT commands and has space available in the receive buffer, it will be open for continuing reception from the master.
When a byte has been received from the master, the slave must ACK or NACK the byte. The responses here are the same as for the
reception of the address byte.
The master ends the transmission by sending a STOP or a repeated START. The SSTOP interrupt flag is set when the master transmits
a STOP condition. If the transmission is ended with a repeated START, then the SSTOP interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is not set.
Note:
The SSTOP interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF will be set regardless of whether the slave is participating in the transmission or not, as long as
SLAVE in I2Cn_CTRL is set and a STOP condition is detected
If arbitration is lost at any time during transmission, the ARBLOST interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set, the bus is released and the slave
goes idle.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.10.1 DMA
DMA can be used to automatically load data into the transmit buffer and load data out from the receive buffer. When using DMA, software is thus relieved of moving data to and from memory after each transferred byte.
15.3.10.2 Automatic ACK
When AUTOACK in I2Cn_CTRL is set, an ACK is sent automatically whenever an ACK interaction is possible and no higher priority
interactions are pending.
15.3.10.3 Automatic STOP
A STOP can be generated automatically on two conditions. These apply only to the master transmitter.
If AUTOSN in I2Cn_CTRL is set, the I2C module ends a transmission by transmitting a STOP condition when operating as a master
transmitter and a NACK is received.
If AUTOSE in I2Cn_CTRL is set, the I2C module always ends a transmission when there is no more data in the transmit buffer. If data
has been transmitted on the bus, the transmission is ended after the (N)ACK has been received by the slave. If a START is sent when
no data is available in the transmit buffer and AUTOSE is set, then the STOP condition is sent immediately following the START. Software must thus make sure data is available in the transmit buffer before the START condition has been fully transmitted if data is to be
transferred.
15.3.11 Using 10-bit Addresses
When using 10-bit addresses in slave mode, set the I2Cn_SADDR register to 1111 0XX where XX are the two most significant bits of
the 10-bit address, and set I2Cn_SADDRMASK to 0xFF. Address matches will now be given on all 10-bit addresses where the two
most significant bits are correct.
When receiving an address match, the slave must acknowledge the address and receive the first data byte. This byte contains the second part of the 10-bit address. If it matches the address of the slave, the slave should ACK the byte to continue the transmission, and if
it does not match, the slave should NACK it.
When the master is operating as a master transmitter, the data bytes will follow after the second address byte. When the master is
operating as a master receiver however, a repeated START condition is sent after the second address byte. The address sent after this
repeated START is equal to the first of the address bytes transmitted previously, but now with the R/W byte set, and only the slave that
found a match on the entire 10-bit address in the previous message should ACK this address. The repeated start should take the master into a master receiver mode, and after the single address byte sent this time around, the slave begins transmission to the master.
15.3.12 Error Handling
Note:
The setting of GCAMEN and SLAVE fields in the I2Cn_CTRL register and the registers I2Cn_SADDR and I2Cn_ROUTELOC0 are considered static. This means that these need to be set before an I2C transaction starts and need to stay stable during the entire transaction.

15.3.12.1 ABORT Command
Some bus errors may require software intervention to be resolved. The I2C module provides an ABORT command, which can be set in
I2Cn_CMD, to help resolve bus errors.
When the bus for some reason is locked up and the I2C module is in the middle of a transmission it cannot get out of, or for some other
reason the I2C wants to abort a transmission, the ABORT command can be used.
Setting the ABORT command will make the I2C module discard any data currently being transmitted or received, release the SDA and
SCL lines and go to an idle mode. ABORT effectively makes the I2C module forget about any ongoing transfers.
15.3.12.2 Bus Reset
A bus reset can be performed by setting the START and STOP commands in I2Cn_CMD while the transmit buffer is empty. A START
condition will then be transmitted, immediately followed by a STOP condition. A bus reset can also be performed by transmitting a
START command with the transmit buffer empty and AUTOSE set.

15.3.12.3 I2C-Bus Errors
An I2C-bus error occurs when a START or STOP condition is misplaced, which happens when the value on SDA changes while SCL is
high during bit-transmission on the I2C-bus. If the I2C module is part of the current transmission when a bus error occurs, any data
currently being transmitted or received is discarded, SDA and SCL are released, the BUSERR interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is set to indicate
the error, and the module automatically takes a course of action as defined in Table 15.9 I2C Bus Error Response on page 418.
Table 15.9. I2C Bus Error Response

Misplaced START

Go idle. Perform any pending actions.

15.3.12.4 Bus Lockup
A lockup occurs when a master or slave on the I2C-bus has locked the SDA or SCL at a low value, preventing other devices from putting high values on the bus, and thus making communication on the bus impossible.
Many slave-only devices operating on an I2C-bus are not capable of driving SCL low, but in the rare case that SCL is stuck LOW, the
advice is to apply a hardware reset signal to the slaves on the bus. If this does not work, cycle the power to the devices in order to
make them release SCL.
When SDA is stuck low and SCL is free, a master should send 9 clock pulses on SCL while tristating the SDA. This procedure is performed in the GPIO module after clearing the I2C_ROUTE register and disabling the I2C module. The device that held the bus low
should release it sometime within those 9 clocks. If not, use the same approach as for when SCL is stuck, resetting and possibly cycling
power to the slaves.
Lockup of SDA can be detected by keeping count of the number of continuous arbitration losses during address transmission. If arbitration is also lost during the transmission of a general call address, i.e., during the transmission of the STOP condition, which should
never happen during normal operation, this is a good indication of SDA lockup.
Detection of SCL lockups can be done using the timeout functionality defined in 15.3.12.6 Clock Low Timeout
15.3.12.5 Bus Idle Timeout
When SCL has been high for a significant amount of time, this is a good indication of that the bus is idle. On an SMBus system, the bus
is only allowed to be in this state for a maximum of 50 µs before the bus is considered idle.
The bus idle timeout BITO in I2Cn_CTRL can be used to detect situations where the bus goes idle in the middle of a transmission. The
timeout can be configured in BITO, and when the bus has been idle for the given amount of time, the BITO interrupt flag in I2Cn_IF is
set. The bus can also be set idle automatically on a bus idle timeout. This is enabled by setting GIBITO in I2Cn_CTRL.
When the bus idle timer times out, it wraps around and continues counting as long as its condition is true. If the bus is not set idle using
GIBITO or the ABORT command in I2Cn_CMD, this will result in periodic timeouts.
Note:
This timeout will be generated even if SDA is held low.
The bus idle timeout is active as long as the bus is busy, i.e., BUSY in I2Cn_STATUS is set. The timeout can be used to get the I2C
module out of the busy-state it enters when reset, see 15.3.7.4 Reset State.
15.3.12.6 Clock Low Timeout
The clock timeout, which can be configured in CLTO in I2Cn_CTRL, starts counting whenever SCL goes low, and times out if SCL does
not go high within the configured timeout. A clock low timeout results in CLTOIF in I2Cn_IF being set, allowing software to take action.
When the timer times out, it wraps around and continues counting as long as SCL is low. An SCL lockup will thus result in periodic clock
low timeouts as long as SCL is low.

I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface
15.3.12.7 Clock Low Error
The I2C module can continue transmission in parallel with another device for the entire transaction, as long as the two communications
are identical. A case may arise when (before an arbitration has been decided upon) the I2C module decides to send out a repeated
START or a STOP condition while the other device is still sending data. In the I2C protocol specifications, such a combination results in
an undefined condition. The I2C deals with this by generating a clock low error. This means that if the I2C is transmitting a repeated
START or a STOP condition and another device (another master or a misbehaving slave) pulls SCL low before the I2C sends out the
START/STOP condition on SDA, a clock low error is generated. The CLERR interrupt flag is then set in the I2Cn_IF register, any held
lines are released and the I2C device goes to idle.
15.3.13 DMA Support
The I2C module has full DMA support. A request for the DMA controller to write to the I2C transmit buffer can come from TXBL (transmit
buffer has room for more data). The DMA controller can write to the transmit buffer using the I2Cn_TXDATA or the I2Cn_TXDOUBLE
register. In order to write to the I2Cn_TXDOUBLE register (i.e., transferring 2 bytes simultaneously to the transmit buffer using the
DMA), DMA_USEBURSTS needs to be set to 1 for the selected DMA channel. This ensures that the transfer is made to the transmit
buffer only when both buffer elements are empty. For performing a DMA write to the I2Cn_TXDATA register, DMA_USEBURSTC needs
to be set to 1 for the selected DMA channel. This ensures that a DMA transfer is made even when the transmit buffer is half-empty.
A request for the DMA controller to read from the I2C receive buffer can come from RXDATAV (data available in the receive buffer). To
receive from I2Cn_RXDOUBLE (i.e., receive only when both buffer elements are full), DMA_USEBURSTS needs to be set to 1 for the
selected DMA channel. In order to receive from I2Cn_RXDATA through the DMA, DMA_USEBURSTC needs to be set to 1. This ensures that the data gets picked up even when the receive buffer is half-full.
15.3.14 Interrupts
The interrupts generated by the I2C module are combined into one interrupt vector, I2C_INT. If I2C interrupts are enabled, an interrupt
will be made if one or more of the interrupt flags in I2Cn_IF and their corresponding bits in I2Cn_IEN are set.
15.3.15 Wake-up
The I2C receive section can be active all the way down to energy mode EM3 Stop, and can wake up the CPU on address interrupt. All
address match modes are supported.

0x0

RW

Bus Idle Timeout

Use to generate a timeout when SCL has been high for a given amount time between a START and STOP condition. When
in a bus transaction, i.e. the BUSY flag is set, a timer is started whenever SCL goes high. When the timer reaches the value
defined by BITO, it sets the BITO interrupt flag. The BITO interrupt flag will then be set periodically as long as SCL remains
high. The bus idle timeout is active as long as BUSY is set. It is thus stopped automatically on a timeout if GIBITO is set. It
is also stopped a STOP condition is detected and when the ABORT command is issued. The timeout is activated whenever
the bus goes BUSY, i.e. a START condition is detected. The timeout value can be calculated by
timeout = PCC/(fSCL x (Nlow + Nhigh))

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter

16. USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

The USART handles high-speed UART, SPI-bus,
SmartCards, and IrDA communication.
Why?

DMA
controller

Serial communication is frequently used in embedded systems and the USART allows efficient communication with a wide range of external devices.

RAM

How?

USART
RX/
MISO
TX/
MOSI

IrDA SmartCards
USART
SPI

The USART has a wide selection of operating
modes, frame formats and baud rates. The multiprocessor mode allows the USART to remain idle
when not addressed. Triple buffering and DMA support makes high data-rates possible with minimal
CPU intervention and it is possible to transmit and
receive large frames while the MCU remains in EM1
Sleep.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.1 Modes of Operation
The USART operates in either asynchronous or synchronous mode.
In synchronous mode, a separate clock signal is transmitted with the data. This clock signal is generated by the bus master, and both
the master and slave sample and transmit data according to this clock. Both master and slave modes are supported by the USART. The
synchronous communication mode is compatible with the Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (SPI) standard.
In asynchronous mode, no separate clock signal is transmitted with the data on the bus. The USART receiver thus has to determine
where to sample the data on the bus from the actual data. To make this possible, additional synchronization bits are added to the data
when operating in asynchronous mode, resulting in a slight overhead.
Asynchronous or synchronous mode can be selected by configuring SYNC in USARTn_CTRL. The options are listed with supported
protocols in Table 16.1 USART Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Mode on page 450. Full duplex and half duplex communication is supported in both asynchronous and synchronous mode.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.1 Frame Format
The frame format used in asynchronous mode consists of a set of data bits in addition to bits for synchronization and optionally a parity
bit for error checking. A frame starts with one start-bit (S), where the line is driven low for one bit-period. This signals the start of a
frame, and is used for synchronization. Following the start bit are 4 to 16 data bits and an optional parity bit. Finally, a number of stopbits, where the line is driven high, end the frame. An example frame is shown in Figure 16.2 USART Asynchronous Frame Format on
page 451.

Figure 16.2. USART Asynchronous Frame Format
The number of data bits in a frame is set by DATABITS in USARTn_FRAME, see Table 16.3 USART Data Bits on page 451, and the
number of stop-bits is set by STOPBITS in USARTn_FRAME, see Table 16.4 USART Stop Bits on page 451. Whether or not a parity
bit should be included, and whether it should be even or odd is defined by PARITY, also in USARTn_FRAME. For communication to be
possible, all parties of an asynchronous transfer must agree on the frame format being used.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
The order in which the data bits are transmitted and received is defined by MSBF in USARTn_CTRL. When MSBF is cleared, data in a
frame is sent and received with the least significant bit first. When it is set, the most significant bit comes first.
The frame format used by the transmitter can be inverted by setting TXINV in USARTn_CTRL, and the format expected by the receiver
can be inverted by setting RXINV in USARTn_CTRL. These bits affect the entire frame, not only the data bits. An inverted frame has a
low idle state, a high start-bit, inverted data and parity bits, and low stop-bits.
16.3.2.2 Parity bit Calculation and Handling
When parity bits are enabled, hardware automatically calculates and inserts any parity bits into outgoing frames, and verifies the received parity bits in incoming frames. This is true for both asynchronous and synchronous modes, even though it is mostly used in
asynchronous communication. The possible parity modes are defined in Table 16.5 USART Parity Bits on page 452. When even parity
is chosen, a parity bit is inserted to make the number of high bits (data + parity) even. If odd parity is chosen, the parity bit makes the
total number of high bits odd.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.3 Clock Generation
The USART clock defines the transmission and reception data rate. When operating in asynchronous mode, the baud rate (bit-rate) is
given by Figure 16.3 USART Baud Rate on page 453.
br = fHFPERCLK/(oversample x (1 + USARTn_CLKDIV/256))
Figure 16.3. USART Baud Rate
where fHFPERCLK is the peripheral clock (HFPERCLKUSARTn) frequency and oversample is the oversampling rate as defined by OVS in
USARTn_CTRL, see Table 16.6 USART Oversampling on page 453.

The USART has a fractional clock divider to allow the USART clock to be controlled more accurately than what is possible with a standard integral divider.
The clock divider used in the USART is a 20-bit value, with a 15-bit integral part and an 5-bit fractional part. The fractional part is configured in the lower 5 bits of DIV in USART_CLKDIV. The lowest achievable baud rate at 32 MHz is about 61 bauds/sec.
Fractional clock division is implemented by distributing the selected fraction over thirty two baud periods. The fractional part of the divider tells how many of these periods should be extended by one peripheral clock cycle.
Given a desired baud rate brdesired, the clock divider USARTn_CLKDIV can be calculated by using Figure 16.4 USART Desired Baud
Rate on page 453:
USARTn_CLKDIV = 256 x (fHFPERCLK/(oversample x brdesired) - 1)
Figure 16.4. USART Desired Baud Rate
Table 16.7 USART Baud Rates @ 4MHz Peripheral Clock with 20 bit CLKDIV on page 453 shows a set of desired baud rates and how
accurately the USART is able to generate these baud rates when running at a 4 MHz peripheral clock, using 16x or 8x oversampling.

16.3.2.4 Auto Baud Detection
Setting AUTOBAUDEN in USARTn_CLKDIV uses the first frame received to automatically set the baud rate provided that it contains
0x55 (IrDA uses 0x00). AUTOBAUDEN can be used in a simple LIN configuration to auto detect the SYNC byte. The receiver will
measure the number of local clock cycles between the beginning of the START bit and the beginning of the 8th data bit. The DIV field in
USARTn_CLKDIV will be overwritten with the new value. The OVS in USARTn_CTRL and the +1 count of the Baud Rate equation are
already factored into the result that gets written into the DIV field. To restart autobaud detection, clear AUTOBAUDEN and set it high
again. Since the auto baud detection is done over 8 baud times, only the upper 3 bits of the fractional part of the clock divider are
populated.
16.3.2.5 Data Transmission
Asynchronous data transmission is initiated by writing data to the transmit buffer using one of the methods described in 16.3.2.6 Transmit Buffer Operation. When the transmission shift register is empty and ready for new data, a frame from the transmit buffer is loaded
into the shift register, and if the transmitter is enabled, transmission begins. When the frame has been transmitted, a new frame is loaded into the shift register if available, and transmission continues. If the transmit buffer is empty, the transmitter goes to an idle state,
waiting for a new frame to become available.
Transmission is enabled through the command register USARTn_CMD by setting TXEN, and disabled by setting TXDIS in the same
command register. When the transmitter is disabled using TXDIS, any ongoing transmission is aborted, and any frame currently being
transmitted is discarded. When disabled, the TX output goes to an idle state, which by default is a high value. Whether or not the transmitter is enabled at a given time can be read from TXENS in USARTn_STATUS.
When the USART transmitter is enabled and there is no data in the transmit shift register or transmit buffer, the TXC flag in
USARTn_STATUS and the TXC interrupt flag in USARTn_IF are set, signaling that the transmission is complete. The TXC status flag is
cleared when a new frame becomes available for transmission, but the TXC interrupt flag must be cleared by software.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.6 Transmit Buffer Operation
The transmit-buffer is a multiple entry FIFO buffer. A frame can be loaded into the buffer by writing to USARTn_TXDATA,
USARTn_TXDATAX, USARTn_TXDOUBLE or USARTn_TXDOUBLEX. Using USARTn_TXDATA allows 8 bits to be written to the buffer, while using USARTn_TXDOUBLE will write 2 frames of 8 bits to the buffer. If 9-bit frames are used, the 9th bit of the frames will in
these cases be set to the value of BIT8DV in USARTn_CTRL.
To set the 9th bit directly and/or use transmission control, USARTn_TXDATAX and USARTn_TXDOUBLEX must be used.
USARTn_TXDATAX allows 9 data bits to be written, as well as a set of control bits regarding the transmission of the written frame.
Every frame in the buffer is stored with 9 data bits and additional transmission control bits. USARTn_TXDOUBLEX allows two frames,
complete with control bits to be written at once. When data is written to the transmit buffer using USARTn_TXDATAX and
USARTn_TXDOUBLEX, the 9th bit(s) written to these registers override the value in BIT8DV in USARTn_CTRL, and alone define the
9th bits that are transmitted if 9-bit frames are used. Figure 16.5 USART Transmit Buffer Operation on page 455 shows the basics of
the transmit buffer when DATABITS in USARTn_FRAME is configured to less than 10 bits.

Figure 16.5. USART Transmit Buffer Operation
When writing more frames to the transmit buffer than there is free space for, the TXOF interrupt flag in USARTn_IF will be set, indicating the overflow. The data already in the transmit buffer is preserved in this case, and no data is written.
In addition to the interrupt flag TXC in USARTn_IF and status flag TXC in USARTn_STATUS which are set when the transmission is
complete, TXBL in USARTn_STATUS and the TXBL interrupt flag in USARTn_IF are used to indicate the level of the transmit buffer.
TXBIL in USARTn_CTRL controls the level at which these bits are set. If TXBIL is cleared, they are set whenever the transmit buffer
becomes empty, and if TXBIL is set, they are set whenever the transmit buffer goes from full to half-full or empty. Both the TXBL status
flag and the TXBL interrupt flag are cleared automatically when their condition becomes false.
There is a TXIDLE status bit in USARTn_STATUS to provide an indication of when the transmitter is idle. The combined count of TX
buffer element 0, TX buffer element 1, and TX shift register is called TXBUFCNT in USARTn_STATUS. For large frames, the count is
only of TX buffer entry 0 and the TX shifter register.
The transmit buffer, including the transmit shift register can be cleared by setting CLEARTX in USARTn_CMD. This will prevent the
USART from transmitting the data in the buffer and shift register, and will make them available for new data. Any frame currently being
transmitted will not be aborted. Transmission of this frame will be completed.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.7 Frame Transmission Control
The transmission control bits, which can be written using USARTn_TXDATAX and USARTn_TXDOUBLEX, affect the transmission of
the written frame. The following options are available:
• Generate break: By setting TXBREAK, the output will be held low during the stop-bit period to generate a framing error. A receiver
that supports break detection detects this state, allowing it to be used e.g. for framing of larger data packets. The line is driven high
before the next frame is transmitted so the next start condition can be identified correctly by the recipient. Continuous breaks lasting
longer than a USART frame are thus not supported by the USART. GPIO can be used for this.
• Disable transmitter after transmission: If TXDISAT is set, the transmitter is disabled after the frame has been fully transmitted.
• Enable receiver after transmission: If RXENAT is set, the receiver is enabled after the frame has been fully transmitted. It is enabled
in time to detect a start-bit directly after the last stop-bit has been transmitted.
• Unblock receiver after transmission: If UBRXAT is set, the receiver is unblocked and RXBLOCK is cleared after the frame has been
fully transmitted.
• Tristate transmitter after transmission: If TXTRIAT is set, TXTRI is set after the frame has been fully transmitted, tristating the transmitter output. Tristating of the output can also be performed automatically by setting AUTOTRI. If AUTOTRI is set TXTRI is always
read as 0.
Note:
When in SmartCard mode with repeat enabled, none of the actions, except generate break, will be performed until the frame is transmitted without failure. Generation of a break in SmartCard mode with repeat enabled will cause the USART to detect a NACK on every
frame.

16.3.2.8 Data Reception
Data reception is enabled by setting RXEN in USARTn_CMD. When the receiver is enabled, it actively samples the input looking for a
transition from high to low indicating the start baud of a new frame. When a start baud is found, reception of the new frame begins if the
receive shift register is empty and ready for new data. When the frame has been received, it is pushed into the receive buffer, making
the shift register ready for another frame of data, and the receiver starts looking for another start baud. If the receive buffer is full, the
received frame remains in the shift register until more space in the receive buffer is available. If an incoming frame is detected while
both the receive buffer and the receive shift register are full, the data in the shift register is overwritten, and the RXOF interrupt flag in
USARTn_IF is set to indicate the buffer overflow.
The receiver can be disabled by setting the command bit RXDIS in USARTn_CMD. Any frame currently being received when the receiver is disabled is discarded. Whether or not the receiver is enabled at a given time can be read out from RXENS in USARTn_STATUS.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.9 Receive Buffer Operation
When data becomes available in the receive buffer, the RXDATAV flag in USARTn_STATUS, and the RXDATAV interrupt flag in
USARTn_IF are set, and when the buffer becomes full, RXFULL in USARTn_STATUS and the RXFULL interrupt flag in USARTn_IF are
set. The status flags RXDATAV and RXFULL are automatically cleared by hardware when their condition is no longer true. This also
goes for the RXDATAV interrupt flag, but the RXFULL interrupt flag must be cleared by software. When the RXFULL flag is set, notifying
that the buffer is full, space is still available in the receive shift register for one more frame.
Data can be read from the receive buffer in a number of ways. USARTn_RXDATA gives access to the 8 least significant bits of the
received frame, and USARTn_RXDOUBLE makes it possible to read the 8 least significant bits of two frames at once, pulling two
frames from the buffer. To get access to the 9th, most significant bit, USARTn_RXDATAX must be used. This register also contains
status information regarding the frame. USARTn_RXDOUBLEX can be used to get two frames complete with the 9th bits and status
bits.
When a frame is read from the receive buffer using USARTn_RXDATA or USARTn_RXDATAX, the frame is pulled out of the buffer,
making room for a new frame. USARTn_RXDOUBLE and USARTn_RXDOUBLEX pull two frames out of the buffer. If an attempt is
done to read more frames from the buffer than what is available, the RXUF interrupt flag in USARTn_IF is set to signal the underflow,
and the data read from the buffer is undefined.
Frames can be read from the receive buffer without removing the data by using USARTn_RXDATAXP and USARTn_RXDOUBLEXP.
USARTn_RXDATAXP gives access the first frame in the buffer with status bits, while USARTn_RXDOUBLEXP gives access to both
frames with status bits. The data read from these registers when the receive buffer is empty is undefined. If the receive buffer contains
one valid frame, the first frame in USARTn_RXDOUBLEXP will be valid. No underflow interrupt is generated by a read using these
registers, i.e. RXUF in USARTn_IF is never set as a result of reading from USARTn_RXDATAXP or USARTn_RXDOUBLEXP.
The basic operation of the receive buffer when DATABITS in USARTn_FRAME is configured to less than 10 bits is shown in Figure
16.6 USART Receive Buffer Operation on page 457.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.10 Blocking Incoming Data
When using hardware frame recognition, as detailed in 16.3.2.20 Multi-Processor Mode and 16.3.2.21 Collision Detection, it is necessary to be able to let the receiver sample incoming frames without passing the frames to software by loading them into the receive buffer.
This is accomplished by blocking incoming data.
Incoming data is blocked as long as RXBLOCK in USARTn_STATUS is set. When blocked, frames received by the receiver will not be
loaded into the receive buffer, and software is not notified by the RXDATAV flag in USARTn_STATUS or the RXDATAV interrupt flag in
USARTn_IF at their arrival. For data to be loaded into the receive buffer, RXBLOCK must be cleared in the instant a frame is fully received by the receiver. RXBLOCK is set by setting RXBLOCKEN in USARTn_CMD and disabled by setting RXBLOCKDIS also in
USARTn_CMD. There is one exception where data is loaded into the receive buffer even when RXBLOCK is set. This is when an address frame is received when operating in multi-processor mode. See 16.3.2.20 Multi-Processor Mode for more information.
Frames received containing framing or parity errors will not result in the FERR and PERR interrupt flags in USARTn_IF being set while
RXBLOCK in USARTn_STATUS is set. Hardware recognition is not applied to these erroneous frames, and they are silently discarded.
Note:
If a frame is received while RXBLOCK in USARTn_STATUS is cleared, but stays in the receive shift register because the receive buffer
is full, the received frame will be loaded into the receive buffer when space becomes available even if RXBLOCK is set at that time.
The overflow interrupt flag RXOF in USARTn_IF will be set if a frame in the receive shift register, waiting to be loaded into the receive
buffer is overwritten by an incoming frame even though RXBLOCK in USARTn_STATUS is set.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.11 Clock Recovery and Filtering
The receiver samples the incoming signal at a rate 16, 8, 6 or 4 times higher than the given baud rate, depending on the oversampling
mode given by OVS in USARTn_CTRL. Lower oversampling rates make higher baud rates possible, but give less room for errors.
When a high-to-low transition is registered on the input while the receiver is idle, this is recognized as a start-bit, and the baud rate
generator is synchronized with the incoming frame.
For oversampling modes 16, 8 and 6, every bit in the incoming frame is sampled three times to gain a level of noise immunity. These
samples are aimed at the middle of the bit-periods, as visualized in Figure 16.7 USART Sampling of Start and Data Bits on page 459.
With OVS=0 in USARTn_CTRL, the start and data bits are thus sampled at locations 8, 9 and 10 in the figure, locations 4, 5 and 6 for
OVS=1 and locations 3, 4, and 5 for OVS=2. The value of a sampled bit is determined by majority vote. If two or more of the three bitsamples are high, the resulting bit value is high. If the majority is low, the resulting bit value is low.
Majority vote is used for all oversampling modes except 4x oversampling. In this mode, a single sample is taken at position 3 as shown
in Figure 16.7 USART Sampling of Start and Data Bits on page 459.
Majority vote can be disabled by setting MVDIS in USARTn_CTRL.
If the value of the start bit is found to be high, the reception of the frame is aborted, filtering out false start bits possibly generated by
noise on the input.

Figure 16.7. USART Sampling of Start and Data Bits
If the baud rate of the transmitter and receiver differ, the location each bit is sampled will be shifted towards the previous or next bit in
the frame. This is acceptable for small errors in the baud rate, but for larger errors, it will result in transmission errors.
When the number of stop bits is 1 or more, stop bits are sampled like the start and data bits as seen in Figure 16.8 USART Sampling of
Stop Bits when Number of Stop Bits are 1 or More on page 460. When a stop bit has been detected by sampling at positions 8, 9 and
10 for normal mode, or 4, 5 and 6 for smart mode, the USART is ready for a new start bit. As seen in Figure 16.8 USART Sampling of
Stop Bits when Number of Stop Bits are 1 or More on page 460, a stop-bit of length 1 normally ends at c, but the next frame will be
received correctly as long as the start-bit comes after position a for OVS=0 and OVS=3, and b for OVS=1 and OVS=2.

Figure 16.8. USART Sampling of Stop Bits when Number of Stop Bits are 1 or More
When working with stop bit lengths of half a baud period, the above sampling scheme no longer suffices. In this case, the stop-bit is not
sampled, and no framing error is generated in the receiver if the stop-bit is not generated. The line must still be driven high before the
next start bit however for the USART to successfully identify the start bit.
16.3.2.12 Parity Error
When parity bits are enabled, a parity check is automatically performed on incoming frames. When a parity error is detected in an incoming frame, the data parity error bit PERR in the frame is set, as well as the interrupt flag PERR in USARTn_IF. Frames with parity
errors are loaded into the receive buffer like regular frames.
PERR can be accessed by reading the frame from the receive buffer using the USARTn_RXDATAX, USARTn_RXDATAXP,
USARTn_RXDOUBLEX or USARTn_RXDOUBLEXP registers.
If ERRSTX in USARTn_CTRL is set, the transmitter is disabled on received parity and framing errors. If ERRSRX in USARTn_CTRL is
set, the receiver is disabled on parity and framing errors.
16.3.2.13 Framing Error and Break Detection
A framing error is the result of an asynchronous frame where the stop bit was sampled to a value of 0. This can be the result of noise
and baud rate errors, but can also be the result of a break generated by the transmitter on purpose.
When a framing error is detected in an incoming frame, the framing error bit FERR in the frame is set. The interrupt flag FERR in
USARTn_IF is also set. Frames with framing errors are loaded into the receive buffer like regular frames.
FERR can be accessed by reading the frame from the receive buffer using the USARTn_RXDATAX, USARTn_RXDATAXP,
USARTn_RXDOUBLEX or USARTn_RXDOUBLEXP registers.
If ERRSTX in USARTn_CTRL is set, the transmitter is disabled on parity and framing errors. If ERRSRX in USARTn_CTRL is set, the
receiver is disabled on parity and framing errors.

16.3.2.14 Local Loopback
The USART receiver samples U(S)n_RX by default, and the transmitter drives U(S)n_TX by default. This is not the only option however. When LOOPBK in USARTn_CTRL is set, the receiver is connected to the U(S)n_TX pin as shown in Figure 16.9 USART Local
Loopback on page 461. This is useful for debugging, as the USART can receive the data it transmits, but it is also used to allow the
USART to read and write to the same pin, which is required for some half duplex communication modes. In this mode, the U(S)n_TX
pin must be enabled as an output in the GPIO.

16.3.2.15 Asynchronous Half Duplex Communication
When doing full duplex communication, two data links are provided, making it possible for data to be sent and received at the same
time. In half duplex mode, data is only sent in one direction at a time. There are several possible half duplex setups, as described in the
following sections.
16.3.2.16 Single Data-link
In this setup, the USART both receives and transmits data on the same pin. This is enabled by setting LOOPBK in USARTn_CTRL,
which connects the receiver to the transmitter output. Because they are both connected to the same line, it is important that the USART
transmitter does not drive the line when receiving data, as this would corrupt the data on the line.
When communicating over a single data-link, the transmitter must thus be tristated whenever not transmitting data. This is done by
setting the command bit TXTRIEN in USARTn_CMD, which tristates the transmitter. Before transmitting data, the command bit TXTRIDIS, also in USARTn_CMD, must be set to enable transmitter output again. Whether or not the output is tristated at a given time can be
read from TXTRI in USARTn_STATUS. If TXTRI is set when transmitting data, the data is shifted out of the shift register, but is not put
out on U(S)n_TX.
When operating a half duplex data bus, it is common to have a bus master, which first transmits a request to one of the bus slaves, then
receives a reply. In this case, the frame transmission control bits, which can be set by writing to USARTn_TXDATAX, can be used to
make the USART automatically disable transmission, tristate the transmitter and enable reception when the request has been transmitted, making it ready to receive a response from the slave.
The timer, 16.3.10 Timer, can also be used to add delay between the RX and TX frames so that the interrupt service routine has time to
process data that was just received before transmitting more data. Also hardware flow control is another method to insert time for processing the frame. RTS and CTS can be used to halt either the link partner's transmitter or the local transmitter. See the section on
hardware flow control,16.3.4 Hardware Flow Control, for more details.
Tristating the transmitter can also be performed automatically by the USART by using AUTOTRI in USARTn_CTRL. When AUTOTRI is
set, the USART automatically tristates U(S)n_TX whenever the transmitter is idle, and enables transmitter output when the transmitter
goes active. If AUTOTRI is set TXTRI is always read as 0.
Note:
Another way to tristate the transmitter is to enable wired-and or wired-or mode in GPIO. For wired-and mode, outputting a 1 will be the
same as tristating the output, and for wired-or mode, outputting a 0 will be the same as tristating the output. This can only be done on
buses with a pull-up or pull-down resistor respectively.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.17 Single Data-link with External Driver
Some communication schemes, such as RS-485 rely on an external driver. Here, the driver has an extra input which enables it, and
instead of tristating the transmitter when receiving data, the external driver must be disabled.
This can be done manually by assigning a GPIO to turn the driver on or off, or it can be handled automatically by the USART. If AUTOCS in USARTn_CTRL is set, the USn_CS output is automatically activated a configurable number of baud periods before the transmitter starts transmitting data, and deactivated a configurable number of baud periods after the last bit has been transmitted and there
is no more data in the transmit buffer to transmit. The number of baud periods are controlled by CSSETUP and CSHOLD in
USARTn_TIMING. This feature can be used to turn the external driver on when transmitting data, and turn it off when the data has been
transmitted.
The timer, 16.3.10 Timer, can also be used to configure CSSETUP and CSHOLD values between 1 to 256 baud-times by using
TCMPVAL0, TCMPVAL1, or TCMPVAL2 for the TX sequencer.
USn_CS is immediately deasserted when the transmitter becomes disabled.
Figure 16.10 USART Half Duplex Communication with External Driver on page 462 shows an example configuration where USn_CS is
used to automatically enable and disable an external driver.

USART

Figure 16.10. USART Half Duplex Communication with External Driver
The USn_CS output is active low by default, but its polarity can be changed with CSINV in USARTn_CTRL. AUTOCS works regardless
of which mode the USART is in, so this functionality can also be used for automatic chip/slave select when in synchronous mode (e.g.
SPI).
16.3.2.18 Two Data-links
Some limited devices only support half duplex communication even though two data links are available. In this case software is responsible for making sure data is not transmitted when incoming data is expected.
TXARXnEN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL may be used to automatically start transmission after the end of the RX frame plus any TXSTDELAY and CSSETUP delay in USARTn_TIMING. For enabling the receiver either use RXENAT in USARTn_TXDATAX or RXATXnEN in
USARTn_TRIGCTRL.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.19 Large Frames
As each frame in the transmit and receive buffers holds a maximum of 9 bits, both the elements in the buffers are combined when
working with USART-frames of 10 or more data bits.
To transmit such a frame, at least two elements must be available in the transmit buffer. If only one element is available, the USART will
wait for the second element before transmitting the combined frame. Both the elements making up the frame are consumed when
transmitting such a frame.
When using large frames, the 9th bits in the buffers are unused. For an 11 bit frame, the 8 least significant bits are thus taken from the
first element in the buffer, and the 3 remaining bits are taken from the second element as shown in Figure 16.11 USART Transmission
of Large Frames on page 463. The first element in the transmit buffer, i.e. element 0 in Figure 16.11 USART Transmission of Large
Frames on page 463 is the first element written to the FIFO, or the least significant byte when writing two bytes at a time using
USARTn_TXDOUBLE.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
Figure 16.12 USART Transmission of Large Frames, MSBF on page 463 illustrates the order of the transmitted bits when an 11 bit
frame is transmitted with MSBF set. If MSBF is set and the frame is smaller than 10 bits, only the contents of transmit buffer 0 will be
transmitted.
When receiving a large frame, BYTESWAP in USARTn_CTRL determines the order the way the large frame is split into the two buffer
elements. If BYTESWAP is cleared, the least significant 8 bits of the received frame are loaded into the first element of the receive
buffer, and the remaining bits are loaded into the second element, as shown in Figure 16.13 USART Reception of Large Frames on
page 464. The first byte read from the buffer thus contains the 8 least significant bits. Set BYTESWAP to reverse the order.
The status bits are loaded into both elements of the receive buffer. The frame is not moved from the receive shift register before there
are two free spaces in the receive buffer.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.20 Multi-Processor Mode
To simplify communication between multiple processors, the USART supports a special multi-processor mode. In this mode the 9th data bit in each frame is used to indicate whether the content of the remaining 8 bits is data or an address.
When multi-processor mode is enabled, an incoming 9-bit frame with the 9th bit equal to the value of MPAB in USARTn_CTRL is identified as an address frame. When an address frame is detected, the MPAF interrupt flag in USARTn_IF is set, and the address frame is
loaded into the receive register. This happens regardless of the value of RXBLOCK in USARTn_STATUS.
Multi-processor mode is enabled by setting MPM in USARTn_CTRL, and the value of the 9th bit in address frames can be set in MPAB.
Note that the receiver must be enabled for address frames to be detected. The receiver can be blocked however, preventing data from
being loaded into the receive buffer while looking for address frames.
Figure 16.14 USART Multi-processor Mode Example on page 465 explains basic usage of the multi-processor mode:
1. All slaves enable multi-processor mode and, enable and block the receiver. They will now not receive data unless it is an address
frame. MPAB in USARTn_CTRL is set to identify frames with the 9th bit high as address frames.
2.
The master sends a frame containing the address of a slave and with the 9th bit set
3. All slaves receive the address frame and get an interrupt. They can read the address from the receive buffer. The selected slave
unblocks the receiver to start receiving data from the master.
4.
The master sends data with the 9th bit cleared
5. Only the slave with RX enabled receives the data. When transmission is complete, the slave blocks the receiver and waits for a
new address frame.
Figure 16.14. USART Multi-processor Mode Example
When a slave has received an address frame and wants to receive the following data, it must make sure the receiver is unblocked
before the next frame has been completely received in order to prevent data loss.
BIT8DV in USARTn_CTRL can be used to specify the value of the 9th bit without writing to the transmit buffer with USARTn_TXDATAX
or USARTn_TXDOUBLEX, giving higher efficiency in multi-processor mode, as the 9th bit is only set when writing address frames, and
8-bit writes to the USART can be used when writing the data frames.
16.3.2.21 Collision Detection
The USART supports a basic form of collision detection. When the receiver is connected to the output of the transmitter, either by using
the LOOPBK bit in USARTn_CTRL or through an external connection, this feature can be used to detect whether data transmitted on
the bus by the USART did get corrupted by a simultaneous transmission by another device on the bus.
For collision detection to be enabled, CCEN in USARTn_CTRL must be set, and the receiver enabled. The data sampled by the receiver is then continuously compared with the data output by the transmitter. If they differ, the CCF interrupt flag in USARTn_IF is set. The
collision check includes all bits of the transmitted frames. The CCF interrupt flag is set once for each bit sampled by the receiver that
differs from the bit output by the transmitter. When the transmitter output is disabled, i.e. the transmitter is tristated, collisions are not
registered.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.2.22 SmartCard Mode
In SmartCard mode, the USART supports the ISO 7816 I/O line T0 mode. With exception of the stop-bits (guard time), the 7816 data
frame is equal to the regular asynchronous frame. In this mode, the receiver pulls the line low for one baud, half a baud into the guard
time to indicate a parity error. This NAK can for instance be used by the transmitter to re-transmit the frame. SmartCard mode is a half
duplex asynchronous mode, so the transmitter must be tristated whenever not transmitting data.
To enable SmartCard mode, set SCMODE in USARTn_CTRL, set the number of databits in a frame to 8, and configure the number of
stopbits to 1.5 by writing to STOPBITS in USARTn_FRAME.
The SmartCard mode relies on half duplex communication on a single line, so for it to work, both the receiver and transmitter must work
on the same line. This can be achieved by setting LOOPBK in USARTn_CTRL or through an external connection. The TX output
should be configured as open-drain in the GPIO module.
When no parity error is identified by the receiver, the data frame is as shown in Figure 16.15 USART ISO 7816 Data Frame Without
Error on page 466. The frame consists of 8 data bits, a parity bit, and 2 stop bits. The transmitter does not drive the output line during
the guard time.

If a parity error is detected by the receiver, it pulls the line I/O line low after half a stop bit, see Figure 16.16 USART ISO 7816 Data
Frame With Error on page 466. It holds the line low for one bit-period before it releases the line. In this case, the guard time is extended by one bit period before a new transmission can start, resulting in a total of 3 stop bits.

Figure 16.16. USART ISO 7816 Data Frame With Error
On a parity error, the NAK is generated by hardware. The NAK generated by the receiver is sampled as the stop-bit of the frame. Because of this, parity errors when in SmartCard mode are reported with both a parity error and a framing error.
When transmitting a T0 frame, the USART receiver on the transmitting side samples position 16, 17 and 18 in the stop-bit to detect the
error signal when in 16x oversampling mode as shown in Figure 16.17 USART SmartCard Stop Bit Sampling on page 467. Sampling
at this location places the stop-bit sample in the middle of the bit-period used for the error signal (NAK).
If a NAK is transmitted by the receiver, it will thus appear as a framing error at the transmitter, and the FERR interrupt flag in
USARTn_IF will be set. If SCRETRANS USARTn_CTRL is set, the transmitter will automatically retransmit a NACK’ed frame. The
transmitter will retransmit the frame until it is ACK’ed by the receiver. This only works when the number of databits in a frame is configured to 8.
Set SKIPPERRF in USARTn_CTRL to make the receiver discard frames with parity errors. The PERR interrupt flag in USARTn_IF is
set when a frame is discarded because of a parity error.

Figure 16.17. USART SmartCard Stop Bit Sampling
For communication with a SmartCard, a clock signal needs to be generated for the card. This clock output can be generated using one
of the timers. See the ISO 7816 specification for more info on this clock signal.
SmartCard T1 mode is also supported. The T1 frame format used is the same as the asynchronous frame format with parity bit enabled
and one stop bit. The USART must then be configured to operate in asynchronous half duplex mode.
16.3.3 Synchronous Operation
Most of the features in asynchronous mode are available in synchronous mode. Multi-processor mode can be enabled for 9-bit frames,
loopback is available and collision detection can be performed.
16.3.3.1 Frame Format
The frames used in synchronous mode need no start and stop bits since a single clock is available to all parts participating in the communication. Parity bits cannot be used in synchronous mode.
The USART supports frame lengths of 4 to 16 bits per frame. Larger frames can be simulated by transmitting multiple smaller frames,
i.e. a 22 bit frame can be sent using two 11-bit frames, and a 21 bit frame can be generated by transmitting three 7-bit frames. The
number of bits in a frame is set using DATABITS in USARTn_FRAME.
The frames in synchronous mode are by default transmitted with the least significant bit first like in asynchronous mode. The bit-order
can be reversed by setting MSBF in USARTn_CTRL.
The frame format used by the transmitter can be inverted by setting TXINV in USARTn_CTRL, and the format expected by the receiver
can be inverted by setting RXINV, also in USARTn_CTRL.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.3.2 Clock Generation
The bit-rate in synchronous mode is given by Figure 16.18 USART Synchronous Mode Bit Rate on page 468. As in the case of asynchronous operation, the clock division factor have a 15-bit integral part and a 5-bit fractional part.
br = fHFPERCLK/(2 x (1 + USARTn_CLKDIV/256))
Figure 16.18. USART Synchronous Mode Bit Rate
Given a desired baud rate brdesired, the clock divider USARTn_CLKDIV can be calculated using Figure 16.19 USART Synchronous
Mode Clock Division Factor on page 468
USARTn_CLKDIV = 256 x (fHFPERCLK/(2 x brdesired) - 1)
Figure 16.19. USART Synchronous Mode Clock Division Factor
When the USART operates in master mode, the highest possible bit rate is half the peripheral clock rate. When operating in slave mode
however, the highest bit rate is an eighth of the peripheral clock:
• Master mode: brmax = fHFPERCLK/2
• Slave mode: brmax = fHFPERCLK/8
On every clock edge data on the data lines, MOSI and MISO, is either set up or sampled. When CLKPHA in USARTn_CTRL is cleared,
data is sampled on the leading clock edge and set-up is done on the trailing edge. If CLKPHA is set however, data is set-up on the
leading clock edge, and sampled on the trailing edge. In addition to this, the polarity of the clock signal can be changed by setting
CLKPOL in USARTn_CTRL, which also defines the idle state of the clock. This results in four different modes which are summarized in
Table 16.8 USART SPI Modes on page 468. Figure 16.20 USART SPI Timing on page 468 shows the resulting timing of data set-up
and sampling relative to the bus clock.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
If CPHA=1, the TX underflow flag, TXUF, will be set on the first setup clock edge of a frame in slave mode if TX data is not available. If
CPHA=0, TXUF is set if data is not available in the transmit buffer three HFPERCLK cycles prior to the first sample clock edge. The
RXDATAV flag is updated on the last sample clock edge of a transfer, while the RX overflow interrupt flag, RXOF, is set on the first
sample clock edge if the receive buffer overflows. When a transfer has been performed, interrupt flags TXBL and TXC are updated on
the first setup clock edge of the succeeding frame, or when CS is deasserted.
16.3.3.3 Master Mode
When in master mode, the USART is in full control of the data flow on the synchronous bus. When operating in full duplex mode, the
slave cannot transmit data to the master without the master transmitting to the slave. The master outputs the bus clock on USn_CLK.
Communication starts whenever there is data in the transmit buffer and the transmitter is enabled. The USART clock then starts, and
the master shifts bits out from the transmit shift register using the internal clock.
When there are no more frames in the transmit buffer and the transmit shift register is empty, the clock stops, and communication ends.
When the receiver is enabled, it samples data using the internal clock when the transmitter transmits data. Operation of the RX and TX
buffers is as in asynchronous mode.
16.3.3.4 Operation of USn_CS Pin
When operating in master mode, the USn_CS pin can have one of two functions, or it can be disabled.
If USn_CS is configured as an output, it can be used to automatically generate a chip select for a slave by setting AUTOCS in
USARTn_CTRL. If AUTOCS is set, USn_CS is activated before a transmission begins, and deactivated after the last bit has been transmitted and there is no more data in the transmit buffer.
The time between when CS is asserted and the first bit is transmitted can be controlled using the USART Timer and with CSSETUP in
USARTn_TIMING. Any of the three comparators can be used to set this delay. If new data is ready for transmission before CS is deasserted, the data is sent without deasserting CS in between. CSHOLD in USARTn_TIMING keeps CS asserted after the end of frame for
the number of baud-times specified.
By default, USn_CS is active low, but its polarity can be inverted by setting CSINV in USARTn_CTRL.
When USn_CS is configured as an input, it can be used by another master that wants control of the bus to make the USART release it.
When USn_CS is driven low, or high if CSINV is set, the interrupt flag SSM in USARTn_IF is set, and if CSMA in USARTn_CTRL is set,
the USART goes to slave mode.
16.3.3.5 AUTOTX
A synchronous master is required to transmit data to a slave in order to receive data from the slave. In some cases, only a few words
are transmitted and a lot of data is then received from the slave. In that case, one solution is to keep feeding the TX with data to transmit, but that consumes system bandwidth. Instead AUTOTX can be used.
When AUTOTX in USARTn_CTRL is set, the USART transmits data as long as there is available space in the RX shift register for the
chosen frame size. This happens even though there is no data in the TX buffer. The TX underflow interrupt flag TXUF in USARTn_IF is
set on the first word that is transmitted which does not contain valid data.
During AUTOTX the USART will always send the previous sent bit, thus reducing the number of transitions on the TX output. So if the
last bit sent was a 0, 0's will be sent during AUTOTX and if the last bit sent was a 1, 1's will be sent during AUTOTX.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.3.6 Slave Mode
When the USART is in slave mode, data transmission is not controlled by the USART, but by an external master. The USART is therefore not able to initiate a transmission, and has no control over the number of bytes written to the master.
The output and input to the USART are also swapped when in slave mode, making the receiver take its input from USn_TX (MOSI) and
the transmitter drive USn_RX (MISO).
To transmit data when in slave mode, the slave must load data into the transmit buffer and enable the transmitter. The data will remain
in the USART until the master starts a transmission by pulling the USn_CS input of the slave low and transmitting data. For every frame
the master transmits to the slave, a frame is transferred from the slave to the master. After a transmission, MISO remains in the same
state as the last bit transmitted. This also applies if the master transmits to the slave and the slave TX buffer is empty.
If the transmitter is enabled in synchronous slave mode and the master starts transmission of a frame, the underflow interrupt flag
TXUF in USARTn_IF will be set if no data is available for transmission to the master.
If the slave needs to control its own chip select signal, this can be achieved by clearing CSPEN in the ROUTE register. The internal
chip select signal can then be controlled through CSINV in the CTRL register. The chip select signal will be CSINV inverted, i.e. if
CSINV is cleared, the chip select is active and vice versa.
16.3.3.7 Synchronous Half Duplex Communication
Half duplex communication in synchronous mode is very similar to half duplex communication in asynchronous mode as detailed in
16.3.2.15 Asynchronous Half Duplex Communication. The main difference is that in this mode, the master must generate the bus clock
even when it is not transmitting data, i.e. it must provide the slave with a clock to receive data. To generate the bus clock, the master
should transmit data with the transmitter tristated, i.e. TXTRI in USARTn_STATUS set, when receiving data. If 2 bytes are expected
from the slave, then transmit 2 bytes with the transmitter tristated, and the slave uses the generated bus clock to transmit data to the
master. TXTRI can be set by setting the TXTRIEN command bit in USARTn_CMD.
Note:
When operating as SPI slave in half duplex mode, TX has to be tristated (not disabled) during data reception if the slave is to transmit
data in the current transfer.

16.3.3.8 I2S
I2S is a synchronous format for transmission of audio data. The frame format is 32-bit, but since data is always transmitted with MSB
first, an I2S device operating with 16-bit audio may choose to only process the 16 msb of the frame, and only transmit data in the 16
msb of the frame.
In addition to the bit clock used for regular synchronous transfers, I2S mode uses a separate word clock. When operating in mono
mode, with only one channel of data, the word clock pulses once at the start of each new word. In stereo mode, the word clock toggles
at the start of new words, and also gives away whether the transmitted word is for the left or right audio channel; A word transmitted
while the word clock is low is for the left channel, and a word transmitted while the word clock is high is for the right.
When operating in I2S mode, the CS pin is used as a the word clock. In master mode, this is automatically driven by the USART, and in
slave mode, the word clock is expected from an external master.
16.3.3.9 Word Format
The general I2S word format is 32 bits wide, but the USART also supports 16-bit and 8-bit words. In addition to this, it can be specified
how many bits of the word should actually be used by the USART. These parameters are given by FORMAT in USARTn_I2SCTRL.
As an example, configuring FORMAT to using a 32-bit word with 16-bit data will make each word on the I2S bus 32-bits wide, but when
receiving data through the USART, only the 16 most significant bits of each word can be read out of the USART. Similarly, only the 16
most significant bits have to be written to the USART when transmitting. The rest of the bits will be transmitted as zeroes.

16.3.3.10 Major Modes
The USART supports a set of different I2S formats as shown in Table 16.9 USART I2S Modes on page 471, but it is not limited to these
modes. MONO, JUSTIFY and DELAY in USARTn_I2SCTRL can be mixed and matched to create an appropriate format. MONO enables mono mode, i.e. one data stream instead of two which is the default. JUSTIFY aligns data within a word on the I2S bus, either left
or right which can bee seen in figures Figure 16.23 USART Left-justified I2S waveform on page 472 and Figure 16.24 USART Rightjustified I2S waveform on page 472. Finally, DELAY specifies whether a new I2S word should be started directly on the edge of the
word-select signal, or one bit-period after the edge.

accuracy, i.e. the data transmitted has less bits than what is possible in the bus format.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.3.11 Using I2S Mode
When using the USART in I2S mode, DATABITS in USARTn_FRAME must be set to 8 or 16 data-bits. 8 databits can be used in all
modes, and 16 can be used in the modes where the number of bytes in the I2S word is even. In addition to this, MSBF in
USARTn_CTRL should be set, and CLKPOL and CLKPHA in USARTn_CTRL should be cleared.
The USART does not have separate TX and RX buffers for left and right data, so when using I2S in stereo mode, the application must
keep track of whether the buffers contain left or right data. This can be done by observing TXBLRIGHT, RXDATAVRIGHT and RXFULLRIGHT in USARTn_STATUS. TXBLRIGHT tells whether TX is expecting data for the left or right channel. It will be set with TXBL if right
data is expected. The receiver will set RXDATAVRIGHT if there is at least one right element in the buffer, and RXFULLRIGHT if the
buffer is full of right elements.
When using I2S with DMA, separate DMA requests can be used for left and right data by setting DMASPLIT in USARTn_I2SCTRL.
In both master and slave mode the USART always starts transmitting on the LEFT channel after being enabled. In master mode, the
transmission will stop if TX becomes empty. In that case, TXC is set. Continuing the transmission in this case will make the data-stream
continue where it left off. To make the USART start on the LEFT channel after going empty, disable and re-enable TX.
16.3.4 Hardware Flow Control
Hardware flow control can be used to hold off the link partner's transmission until RX buffer space is available. Use RTSPEN and
CTSPEN in USARTn_ROUTEPEN to allocate the hardware flow control to GPIOs. RTS is an out going signal which indicates that RX
buffer space is available to receive a frame. The link partner is being requested to send its data when RTS is asserted. CTS is an incoming signal to stop the next TX data from going out. When CTS is negated, the frame currently being transmitted is completed before
stopping. CTS indicates that the link partner has RX buffer space available, and the local transmitter is clear to send. Also use CTSEN
in USARTn_CTLX to enable the CTS input into the TX sequencer. For debug use set DBGHALT in USARTn_CTRLX which will force
the RTS to request one frame from the link partner when the CPU core single steps.
16.3.5 Debug Halt
When DBGHALT in USART_CTRLX is clear, RTS is only dependent on the RX buffer having space available to receive data. Incoming
data is always received until both the RX buffer is full and the RX shift register is full regardless of the state of DBGHALT or chip halt.
Additional incoming data is discarded. When DBGHALT is set, RTS deasserts on RX buffer full or when chip halt is high. However, a
low pulse detected on chip halt will keep RTS asserted when no frame is being received. At the start of frame reception, RTS will deassert if chip halt is high and DBGHALT is set. This behavior allows single stepping to pulse the chip halt low for a cycle, and receive the
next frame. The link partner must stop transmitting when RTS is deasserted, or the RX buffer could overflow. All data in the transmit
buffer is sent out even when chip halt is asserted; therefore, the DMA will need to be set to stop sending the USART TX data during
chip halt.
16.3.6 PRS-triggered Transmissions
If a transmission must be started on an event with very little delay, the PRS system can be used to trigger the transmission. The PRS
channel to use as a trigger can be selected using TSEL in USARTn_TRIGCTRL. When a positive edge is detected on this signal, the
receiver is enabled if RXTEN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL is set, and the transmitter is enabled if TXTEN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL is set.
Only one signal input is supported by the USART.
The AUTOTX feature can also be enabled via PRS. If an external SPI device sets a pin high when there is data to be read from the
device, this signal can be routed to the USART through the PRS system and be used to make the USART clock data out of the external
device. If AUTOTXTEN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL is set, the USART will transmit data whenever the PRS signal selected by TSEL is high
given that there is enough room in the RX buffer for the chosen frame size. Note that if there is no data in the TX buffer when using
AUTOTX, the TX underflow interrupt will be set.
AUTOTXTEN can also be combined with TXTEN to make the USART transmit a command to the external device prior to clocking out
data. To do this, disable TX using the TXDIS command, load the TX buffer with the command and enable AUTOTXTEN and TXTEN.
When the selected PRS input goes high, the USART will now transmit the loaded command, and then continue clocking out while both
the PRS input is high and there is room in the RX buffer
16.3.7 PRS RX Input
The USART can be configured to receive data directly from a PRS channel by setting RXPRS in USARTn_INPUT. The PRS channel
used is selected using RXPRSSEL in USARTn_INPUT. This way, for example, a differential RX signal can be input to the ACMP and
the output routed via PRS to the USART.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 473

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.8 PRS CLK Input
The USART can be configured to receive clock directly from a PRS channel by setting CLKPRS in USARTn_INPUT. The PRS channel
used is selected using CLKPRSSEL in USARTn_INPUT. This is useful in synchronous slave mode and can together with RX PRS input
be used to input data from PRS.
16.3.9 DMA Support
The USART has full DMA support. The DMA controller can write to the transmit buffer using the registers USARTn_TXDATA,
USARTn_TXDATAX, USARTn_TXDOUBLE and USARTn_TXDOUBLEX, and it can read from the receive buffer using the registers
USARTn_RXDATA, USARTn_RXDATAX, USARTn_RXDOUBLE and USARTn_RXDOUBLEX. This enables single byte transfers, 9 bit
data + control/status bits, double byte and double byte + control/status transfers both to and from the USART.
A request for the DMA controller to read from the USART receive buffer can come from the following source:
• Data available in the receive buffer
• Data available in the receive buffer and data is for the RIGHT I2S channel. Only used in I2S mode.
A write request can come from one of the following sources:
• Transmit buffer and shift register empty. No data to send.
• Transmit buffer has room for more data
• Transmit buffer has room for RIGHT I2S data. Only used in I2S mode
Even though there are two sources for write requests to the DMA, only one should be used at a time, since the requests from both
sources are cleared even though only one of the requests are used.
In some cases, it may be sensible to temporarily stop DMA access to the USART when an error such as a framing error has occurred.
This is enabled by setting ERRSDMA in USARTn_CTRL.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.10 Timer
In addition to the TX sequence timer, there is a versatile 8 bit timer that can generate up to three event pulses. These pulses can be
used to create timing for a variety of uses such as RX timeout, break detection, response timeout, and RX enable delay. Transmission
delay, CS setup, inter-character spacing, and CS hold use the TX sequence counter. The TX sequencer counter can use the three 8 bit
compare values or preset values for delays. There is one general counter with three comparators. Each comparator has a start source,
a stop source, a restart enable, and a timer compare value. The start source enables the comparator, resets the counter, and starts the
counter. If the counter is already running, the start source will reset the counter and restart it.
Any comparator could start the counter using the same start source but have different timing events programmed into TCMPVALn in
USARTn_TIMECMPn. The TCMP0, TCMP1, or TCMP2 events can be preempted by using the comparator stop source to disable the
comparator before the counter reaches TCMPVAL0, TCMPVAL1, or TCMPVAL2. If one comparator gets disabled while the other comparator is still enabled, the counter continues counting. By default the counter will count up to 256 and stop unless a RESTARTEN is set
in one of the USARTn_TIMECMPn registers. By using RESTARTEN and an interval programmed into TCMPVAL, an interval timer can
be set up. The TSTART field needs to be changed to DISABLE to stop the interval timer. The timer stops running once all of the comparators are disabled. If a comparator's start and stop sources both trigger the same cycle, the TCMPn event triggers, the comparator
stays enabled, and the counter begins counting from zero.
The TXDELAY, CSSETUP, ICS, and CSHOLD in USARTn_TIMING are used to program start of transmission delay, chip select setup
delay, inter-character space, and chip select hold delay. Either a preset value of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 7 can be used for any of these delays; or
the value in TCMPVALn may be used to set the delay. Using the preset values leaves the TCMPVALn free for other uses. The same
TCMPVALn may be used for multiple events that require the same timing. The transmit sequencer's counter can run in parallel with the
timer's counter. The counters and controls are shown in Figure 16.26 USART Timer Block Diagram on page 476.

Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476 shows some examples of how
the USART timer can be programmed for various applications. The following sections will describe more details for each applications
shown in the table.
16.3.10.1 Response Timeout
Response Timeout is when a UART master sends a frame and expects the slave to respond within a certain number of baud-times.
Refer to Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476 for specific register settings. Comparator 0 will be looking for TX end of frame to use as the timer start source. For this example, a receiver start of frame
RXACT has not been detected for 8 baud-times, and the TCMP0 interrupt in USARTn_IF is set. If an RX start bit is detected before the
8 baud-times, comparator 0 is disabled before the TCMP0 event can trigger.

A receiver timeout function can be implemented by using the RX end of frame to start comparator 1 and look for the RX start bit RXACT
to disable the comparator. See Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476
for details on setting up this example. As long as the next RX start bit occurs before the counter reaches the comparator 1 value
TCMPVAL1, the interrupt will not get set. In this example the RX Timeout was set to 8 baud-times. To get an RX timeout larger than 256
baud-times, RESTART1EN in USARTn_TIMER can used to restart the counter when it reaches TCMPVAL1. By setting TCMPVAL1 in
USARTn_TIMING to 0xFF, an interrupt will be generated after 256 baud-times. An interrupt service routine can then increment a memory location until the desired timeout is reached. Once the RX start bit is detected, comparator 1 will be disabled. If TIMERRESTARTED
in USARTn_STATUS is clear, the TCMP1 interrupt is the first interrupt after RXEOF.

LIN bus and half-duplex UARTs can take advantage of the timer configured for break detection where RX is held low for a number of
baud-times to indicate a break condition. Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on
page 476 shows the settings for this mode. Each time RX is active (default of low) such as for a start bit, the timer begins counting. If
the counter reaches 12 baud-times before RX goes to inactive RXACTN (default of high), an interrupt is asserted.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.10.4 TX Start Delay
Some applications may require a delay before the start of transmission. This example in Figure 16.30 USART TXSEQ Timing on page
479 shows the TXSEQ timer used to delay the start of transmission by 4 baud times before the start of CS, and by 2 baud times with
CS asserted. See Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476 for details on
how to configure this mode. The TX sequencer could be enabled on PRS and start the TXSEQ counter running for 4 baud times as
programmed in TCMPVAL0. Then CS is asserted for 2 baud times before the transmitter begins sending TX data. TXDELAY in
USARTn_TIMING is the initial delay before any CS assertion, and CSSETUP is the delay during CS assertion. There are several small
preset timing values such as 1, 2, 3, or 7 that can be used for some of the TX sequencer timing which leaves TCMPVAL0, TCMPVAL1,
and TCMPVAL2 free for other uses.

16.3.10.5 Inter-Character Space
In addition to delaying the start of frame transmission, it is sometimes necessary to also delay the time between each transmit character
(inter-character space). After the first transmission, the inter-character space will delay the start of all subsequent transmissions until
the transmit buffer is empty. See Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476
for details on setting up this example. For this example in Figure 16.30 USART TXSEQ Timing on page 479 ICS is set to TCMP2 in
USARTn_TIMING. To keep CS asserted during the inter-character space, set AUTOCS in USARTn_CTRL. There are a few small preset timing values provided for TX sequence timing. Using these preset timing values can free up the TCMPVALn for other uses. For this
example, the inter-character space is set to 0x03 and a preset value could be used.
16.3.10.6 TX Chip Select End Delay
The assertion of CS can be extended after the final character of the frame by using CSHOLD in USARTn_TIMING. See Table
16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476 for details on setting up this example.
AUTOCS in USARTn_CTRL needs to be set to extend the CS assertion after the last TX character is transmitted as shown in Figure
16.30 USART TXSEQ Timing on page 479.
16.3.10.7 Response Delay
A response delay can be used to hold off the transmitter until a certain number of baud-times after the RX frame. See Table
16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476 for details on setting up this example.
TXARX1EN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL tells the TX sequencer to trigger after RX EOF plus tcmp1val baud times.

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.10.8 Combined TX and RX Example
This example describes how to alternate between TX and RX frames. This has a 28 baud-time space after RX and a 16 baud-time
space after TX. The TSTART1 in USARTn_TIMECMP1 is set to RXEOF which uses the the receiver end of frame to start the timer. The
TSTOP1 is set to TCMP1 to generate an event after 28 baud times. Set TXARX1EN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL, and the transmitter is
held off until 28 baud times. TCMPVAL in USARTn_TIMECMP1 is set to 0x1C for 28 baud times. By setting TSTART0 in
USARTn_TIMECMP0 to TXEOF, the timer will be started after the transmission has completed. RXATX0EN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL is
used to delay enabling of the receiver until 16 baud times after the transmitter has completed. Write 0x10 into TCMPVAL of
USARTn_TIMECMP0 for a 16 baud time delay. CS is also asserted 7 baud-times before start of transmission by setting CSSETUP to
0x7 in USARTn_TIMING. To keep CS asserted for 3 baud-times after transmission completes, CSHOLD is set to 0x3 in USARTn_TIMING. See Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476 for details on setting
up this example.
16.3.10.9 Combined TX delay and RX break detect
This example describes how to delay TX transmission after an RX frame and how to have a break condition signal an interrupt. See
Table 16.10 USART Application Settings for USARTn_TIMING and USARTn_TIMECMPn on page 476 for details on setting up this example. The TX delay is set up by using transmit after RX, TXARX0EN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL to start the timer. TSTART0 in
USARTn_TIMECMP0 is set to RXEOF which enables the transitter of the timer delay. For this example TCMPVAL in
USARTn_TIMECMP0 is set to 0x20 to create a 32 baud-time delay between the end of the RX frame and the start of the TX frame. The
break detect is configured by setting TSTART1 to RXACT to detect the start bit, and setting TSTOP1 to RXACTN to detect RX going
high. In this case the interrupt asserts after RX stays low for 12 baud-times, so TCMPVAL1 is set to 0x0C.
16.3.10.10 Other Stop Conditions
There is also a timer stop on TX start using the TXST setting in TSTOP of USARTn_TIMECMPn. This can be used to see that the DMA
has not written to the TXBUFFER for a given time.
16.3.11 Interrupts
The interrupts generated by the USART are combined into two interrupt vectors. Interrupts related to reception are assigned to one
interrupt vector, and interrupts related to transmission are assigned to the other. Separating the interrupts in this way allows different
priorities to be set for transmission and reception interrupts.
The transmission interrupt vector groups the transmission-related interrupts generated by the following interrupt flags:
• TXC
• TXBL
• TXOF
• CCF
• TXIDLE
The reception interrupt on the other hand groups the reception-related interrupts, triggered by the following interrupt flags:
• RXDATAV

USART - Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
16.3.12 IrDA Modulator/ Demodulator
The IrDA modulator on USART0 implements the physical layer of the IrDA specification, which is necessary for communication over
IrDA. The modulator takes the signal output from the USART module, and modulates it before it leaves USART0. In the same way, the
input signal is demodulated before it enters the actual USART module. The modulator is only available on USART0, and implements
the original Rev. 1.0 physical layer and one high speed extension which supports speeds from 2.4 kbps to 1.152 Mbps.
The data from and to the USART is represented in a NRZ (Non Return to Zero) format, where the signal value is at the same level
through the entire bit period. For IrDA, the required format is RZI (Return to Zero Inverted), a format where a “1” is signalled by holding
the line low, and a “0” is signalled by a short high pulse. An example is given in Figure 16.32 USART Example RZI Signal for a given
Asynchronous USART Frame on page 481.

Figure 16.32. USART Example RZI Signal for a given Asynchronous USART Frame
The IrDA module is enabled by setting IREN. The USART transmitter output and receiver input is then routed through the IrDA modulator.
The width of the pulses generated by the IrDA modulator is set by configuring IRPW in USARTn_IRCTRL. Four pulse widths are available, each defined relative to the configured bit period as listed in Table 16.11 USART IrDA Pulse Widths on page 481.

By default, no filter is enabled in the IrDA demodulator. A filter can be enabled by setting IRFILT in USARTn_IRCTRL. When the filter is
enabled, an incoming pulse has to last for 4 consecutive clock cycles to be detected by the IrDA demodulator.
Note that by default, the idle value of the USART data signal is high. This means that the IrDA modulator generates negative pulses,
and the IrDA demodulator expects negative pulses. To make the IrDA module use RZI signalling, both TXINV and RXINV in
USARTn_CTRL must be set.
The IrDA module can also modulate a signal from the PRS system, and transmit a modulated signal to the PRS system. To use a PRS
channel as transmitter source instead of the USART, set IRPRSEN in USARTn_IRCTRL high. The channel is selected by configuring
IRPRSSEL in USARTn_IRCTRL.

The USART Timer restarted itself

When the timer is restarting itself on each TCMP event, a TIMERRESTARTED value of 0x0 indicates the first TCMP event
in the sequence of multiple TCMP events. Any non TCMP timer start events will clear TIMERRESTARTED. When there is a
TCMP interrupt and TIMERRESTARTED is 0x0, an interrupt service routine can set a TCMP event counter variable in
memory to 0x1 to indicate the first TCMP interrupt of the sequence.

The LEUART provides full UART communication using a low frequency 32.768 kHz clock, and has special features for communication without CPU intervention.
Why?

DMA
controller

RAM

It allows UART communication to be performed in
low energy modes, using only a few µA during active
communication and only 150 nA when waiting for incoming data.
How?

LEUART
RX
TX

A low frequency clock signal allows communication
with less energy. Using DMA, the LEUART can
transmit and receive data with minimal CPU intervention. Special UART-frames can be configured to
help control the data flow, further automating data
transmission.

17.1 Introduction
The unique Low Energy UART (LEUART) is a UART that allows two-way UART communication on a strict power budget. Only a 32.768
kHz clock is needed to allow UART communication up to 9600 baud.
Even when the EFM is in low energy mode EM2 DeepSleep (with most core functionality turned off), the LEUART can wait for an incoming UART frame while having an extremely low energy consumption. When a UART frame is completely received, the CPU can
quickly be woken up. Alternatively, multiple frames can be transferred via the Direct Memory Access (DMA) module into RAM memory
before waking up the CPU.
Received data can optionally be blocked until a configurable start frame is detected. A signal frame can be configured to generate an
interrupt indicating the end of a data transmission. The start frame and signal frame can be used in combination to handle higher level
communication protocols.
Similarly, data can be transmitted in EM2 DeepSleep either on a frame-by-frame basis with data from the CPU or through use of the
DMA.
The LEUART includes all necessary hardware support to make asynchronous serial communication possible with minimal software
overhead and low energy consumption.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.1 Frame Format
The frame format used by the LEUART consists of a set of data bits in addition to bits for synchronization and optionally a parity bit for
error checking. A frame starts with one start-bit (S), where the line is driven low for one bit-period. This signals the start of a frame, and
is used for synchronization. Following the start bit are 8 or 9 data bits and an optional parity bit. The data is transmitted with the least
significant bit first. Finally, a number of stop-bits, where the line is driven high, end the frame. The frame format is shown in Figure
17.2 LEUART Asynchronous Frame Format on page 544.

Figure 17.2. LEUART Asynchronous Frame Format
The number of data bits in a frame is set by DATABITS in LEUARTn_CTRL, and the number of stop-bits is set by STOPBITS in
LEUARTn_CTRL. Whether or not a parity bit should be included, and whether it should be even or odd is defined by PARITY in
LEUARTn_CTRL. For communication to be possible, all parties of an asynchronous transfer must agree on the frame format being
used.
The frame format used by the LEUART can be inverted by setting INV in LEUARTn_CTRL. This affects the entire frame, resulting in a
low idle state, a high start-bit, inverted data and parity bits, and low stop-bits. INV should only be changed while the receiver is disabled.
17.3.1.1 Parity Bit Calculation and Handling
Hardware automatically inserts parity bits into outgoing frames and checks the parity bits of incoming frames. The possible parity
modes are defined in Table 17.1 LEUART Parity Bit on page 544. When even parity is chosen, a parity bit is inserted to make the
number of high bits (data + parity) even. If odd parity is chosen, the parity bit makes the total number of high bits odd. When parity bits
are disabled, which is the default configuration, the parity bit is omitted.

17.3.2 Clock Source
The LEUART clock source is selected by the LFB bit field the CMU_LFCLKSEL register. The clock is prescaled by the LEUARTn bitfield in the CMU_LFBPRESC0 register and enabled by the LEUARTn bit in the CMU_LFBCLKEN0. See 10.3 Functional Description for
a diagram of the clocking structure.
To use this module, the LE interface clock must be enabled in CMU_HFBUSCLKEN0, in addition to the module clock.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.3 Clock Generation
The LEUART clock defines the transmission and reception data rate. The clock generator employs a fractional clock divider to allow
baud rates that are not attainable by integral division of the 32.768 kHz clock that drives the LEUART.
The clock divider used in the LEUART is a 14-bit value, with a 9-bit integral part and a 5-bit fractional part. The baud rate of the
LEUART is given by :
br = fLEUARTn / (1 + LEUARTn_CLKDIV / 256)
Figure 17.3. LEUART Baud Rate Equation
where fLEUARTn is the clock frequency supplied to the LEUART. The value of LEUARTn_CLKDIV thus defines the baud rate of the
LEUART. The integral part of the divider is right-aligned in the upper 24 bits of LEUARTn_CLKDIV and the fractional part is left-aligned
in the lower 8 bits. The divider is thus a 256th of LEUARTn_CLKDIV as seen in the equation.
As an example let us assume fLEUART = 22.5Khz and the value of DIV in LEUARTn_CLKDIV is 0x0028 (LEUARTn_CLKDIV =
0x00000140). The baud rate = 22.5Khz/(1 + 0x140 / 256) = 22.5Khz / 2.25 = 10Khz.
For a desired baud rate brDESIRED, LEUARTn_CLKDIV can be calculated by using:
LEUARTn_CLKDIV = 256 x (fLEUARTn/brDESIRED - 1)
Figure 17.4. LEUART CLKDIV Equation
It's important to note that this equation results in a 32bit value for the LEUARTn_CLKDIV register but only bits [16:3] are valid and all
others must be 0. For example if we have a 32Khz clock and whish to achieve a baud rate of 10Khz the equation above results in a
LEUARTn_CLKDIV value of 0x233. However, the actual value of the register will be 0x230 since bits [2:0] cannot be set. This limits the
best achievable acuracy. In this example the actual baud rate wil be 32Khz / (1+ 0x230/255) = 10.039Khz instead of 32Khz /
(1+ 0x233/255) = 10.002Khz.
Table 17.2 LEUART Baud Rates on page 545 lists a set of desired baud rates and the closest baud rates reachable by the LEUART
with a 32.768 kHz clock source. It also shows the average baud rate error.

17.3.4 Data Transmission
Data transmission is initiated by writing data to the transmit buffer using one of the methods described in 17.3.4.1 Transmit Buffer Operation. When the transmit shift register is empty and ready for new data, a frame from the transmit buffer is loaded into the shift register,
and if the transmitter is enabled, transmission begins. When the frame has been transmitted, a new frame is loaded into the shift register if available, and transmission continues. If the transmit buffer is empty, the transmitter goes to an idle state, waiting for a new frame
to become available. Transmission is enabled through the command register LEUARTn_CMD by setting TXEN, and disabled by setting
TXDIS. When the transmitter is disabled using TXDIS, any ongoing transmission is aborted, and any frame currently being transmitted
is discarded. When disabled, the TX output goes to an idle state, which by default is a high value. Whether or not the transmitter is
enabled at a given time can be read from TXENS in LEUARTn_STATUS. After a transmission, when there is no more data in the shift
register or transmit buffer, the TXC flag in LEUARTn_STATUS and the TXC interrupt flag in LEUARTn_IF are set, signaling that the
transmitter is idle. The TXC status flag is cleared when a new byte becomes available for transmission, but the TXC interrupt flag must
be cleared by software.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.4.1 Transmit Buffer Operation
A frame can be loaded into the transmit buffer by writing to LEUARTn_TXDATA or LEUARTn_TXDATAX. Using LEUARTn_TXDATA
allows 8 bits to be written to the buffer. If 9 bit frames are used, the 9th bit will in that case be set to the value of BIT8DV in
LEUARTn_CTRL. To set the 9th bit directly and/or use transmission control, LEUARTn_TXDATAX must be used. When writing data to
the transmit buffer using LEUARTn_TXDATAX, the 9th bit written to LEUARTn_TXDATAX overrides the value in BIT8DV, and alone
defines the 9th bit that is transmitted if 9-bit frames are used.
If a write is attempted to the transmit buffer when it is not empty, the TXOF interrupt flag in LEUARTn_IF is set, indicating the overflow.
The data already in the buffer is in that case preserved, and no data is written.
In addition to the interrupt flag TXC in LEUARTn_IF and the status flag TXC in LEUARTn_STATUS which are set when the transmitter
becomes idle, TXBL in LEUARTn_STATUS and the TXBL interrupt flag in LEUARTn_IF are used to indicate the level of the transmit
buffer. Whenever the transmit buffer becomes empty, these flags are set high. Both the TXBL status flag and the TXBL interrupt flag are
cleared automatically when data is written to the transmit buffer.
There is also TXIDLE status in LEUART_STATUS which can be used to detect when the transmit state machine is in the idle state.
The transmit buffer, including the TX shift register can be cleared by setting command bit CLEARTX in LEUARTn_CMD. This will prevent the LEUART from transmitting the data in the buffer and shift register, and will make them available for new data. Any frame currently being transmitted will not be aborted. Transmission of this frame will be completed. An overview of the operation of the transmitter
is shown in Figure 17.5 LEUART Transmitter Overview on page 546.

17.3.4.2 Frame Transmission Control
The transmission control bits, which can be written using LEUARTn_TXDATAX, affect the transmission of the written frame. The following options are available:
• Generate break: By setting TXBREAK, the output will be held low during the first stop-bit period to generate a framing error. A receiver that supports break detection detects this state, allowing it to be used e.g. for framing of larger data packets. The line is driven
high for one bit period before the next frame is transmitted so the next start condition can be identified correctly by the recipient.
Continuous breaks lasting longer than an UART frame are thus not supported by the LEUART. GPIO can be used for this. Note that
when AUTOTRI in LEUARTn_CTRL is used, the transmitter is not tristated before the high-bit after the break has been transmitted.
• Disable transmitter after transmission: If TXDISAT is set, the transmitter is disabled after the frame has been fully transmitted.
• Enable receiver after transmission: If RXENAT is set, the receiver is enabled after the frame has been fully transmitted. It is enabled
in time to detect a start-bit directly after the last stop-bit has been transmitted.
The transmission control bits in the LEUART cannot tristate the transmitter. This is performed automatically by hardware if AUTOTRI in
LEUARTn_CTRL is set. See 17.3.7 Half Duplex Communication for more information on half duplex operation.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.5 Data Reception
Data reception is enabled by setting RXEN in LEUARTn_CMD. When the receiver is enabled, it actively samples the input looking for a
transition from high to low indicating the start bit of a new frame. When a start bit is found, reception of the new frame begins if the
receive shift register is empty and ready for new data. When the frame has been received, it is pushed into the receive buffer, making
the shift register ready for another frame of data, and the receiver starts looking for another start bit. If the receive buffer is full, the
received frame remains in the shift register until more space in the receive buffer is available.
If an incoming frame is detected while both the receive buffer and the receive shift register are full, the data in the receive shift register
is overwritten, and the RXOF interrupt flag in LEUARTn_IF is set to indicate the buffer overflow.
The receiver can be disabled by setting the command bit RXDIS in LEUARTn_CMD. Any frame currently being received when the receiver is disabled is discarded. Whether or not the receiver is enabled at a given time can be read out from RXENS in LEUARTn_STATUS.
The receive buffer,can be cleared by setting command bit CLEARRX in LEUARTn_CMD. This will make it avaliable for new data. Any
frame currently being received will not be aborted and will become the first received frame when complete.
17.3.5.1 Receive Buffer Operation
When data becomes available in the receive buffer, the RXDATAV flag in LEUARTn_STATUS and the RXDATAV interrupt flag in
LEUARTn_IF are set. Both the RXDATAV status flag and the RXDATAV interrupt flag are cleared by hardware when data is no longer
available, i.e. when data has been read out of the buffer.
Data can be read from receive buffer using either LEUARTn_RXDATA or LEUARTn_RXDATAX. LEUARTn_RXDATA gives access to
the 8 least significant bits of the received frame, while LEUARTn_RXDATAX must be used to get access to the 9th, most significant bit.
The LEUARTn_RXDATAX register also contains status information regarding the frame.
When a frame is read from the receive buffer using LEUARTn_RXDATA or LEUARTn_RXDATAX, the frame is removed from the buffer,
making room for a new one. If an attempt is done to read more frames from the buffer than what is available, the RXUF interrupt flag in
LEUARTn_IF is set to signal the underflow, and the data read from the buffer is undefined.
Frames can also be read from the receive buffer without removing the data by using LEUARTn_RXDATAXP, which gives access to the
frame in the buffer including control bits. Data read from this register when the receive buffer is empty is undefined. No underflow interrupt is generated by a read using LEUARTn_RXDATAXP, i.e. the RXUF interrupt flag is never set as a result of reading from
LEUARTn_RXDATAXP.
An overview of the operation of the receiver is shown in Figure 17.6 LEUART Receiver Overview on page 547.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.5.2 Blocking Incoming Data
When using hardware frame recognition, as detailed in 17.3.5.6 Programmable Start Frame, 17.3.5.7 Programmable Signal Frame, and
17.3.5.8 Multi-Processor Mode, it is necessary to be able to let the receiver sample incoming frames without passing the frames to
software by loading them into the receive buffer. This is accomplished by blocking incoming data.
Incoming data is blocked as long as RXBLOCK in LEUARTn_STATUS is set. When blocked, frames received by the receiver will not be
loaded into the receive buffer, and software is not notified by the RXDATAV bit in LEUARTn_STATUS or the RXDATAV interrupt flag in
LEUARTn_IF at their arrival. For data to be loaded into the receive buffer, RXBLOCK must be cleared in the instant a frame is fully
received by the receiver. RXBLOCK is set by setting RXBLOCKEN in LEUARTn_CMD and disabled by setting RXBLOCKDIS also in
LEUARTn_CMD. There are two exceptions where data is loaded into the receive buffer even when RXBLOCK is set. The first is when
an address frame is received when in operating in multi-processor mode as shown in 17.3.5.8 Multi-Processor Mode. The other case is
when receiving a start-frame when SFUBRX in LEUARTn_CTRL is set; see 17.3.5.6 Programmable Start Frame
Frames received containing framing or parity errors will not result in the FERR and PERR interrupt flags in LEUARTn_IF being set while
RXBLOCK is set. Hardware recognition is not applied to these erroneous frames, and they are silently discarded.
Note:
If a frame is received while RXBLOCK in LEUARTn_STATUS is cleared, but stays in the receive shift register because the receive buffer is full, the received frame will be loaded into the receive buffer when space becomes available even if RXBLOCK is set at that time.
The overflow interrupt flag RXOF in LEUARTn_IF will be set if a frame in the receive shift register, waiting to be loaded into the receive
buffer is overwritten by an incoming frame even though RXBLOCK is set.

17.3.5.3 Data Sampling
The receiver samples each incoming bit as close as possible to the middle of the bit-period. Except for the start-bit, only a single sample is taken of each of the incoming bits.
The length of a bit-period is given by 1 + LEUARTn_CLKDIV/256, as a number of 32.768 kHz clock periods. Let the clock cycle where a
start-bit is first detected be given the index 0. The optimal sampling point for each bit in the UART frame is then given by the following
equation:
Sopt(n) = n (1 + LEUARTn_CLKDIV/256) + CLKDIV/512
Figure 17.7. LEUART Optimal Sampling Point
where n is the bit-index.
Since samples are only done on the positive edges of the 32.768 kHz clock, the actual samples are performed on the closest positive
edge, i.e. the edge given by the following equation:
S(n) = floor(n x (1 + LEUARTn_CLKDIV/256) + LEUARTn_CLKDIV/512)
Figure 17.8. LEUART Actual Sampling Point
The sampling location will thus have jitter according to difference between Sopt and S. The start-bit is found at n=0, then follows the
data bits, any parity bit, and the stop bits.
If the value of the start-bit is found to be high, then the start-bit is discarded, and the receiver waits for a new start-bit.
17.3.5.4 Parity Error
When the parity bit is enabled, a parity check is automatically performed on incoming frames. When a parity error is detected in a
frame, the data parity error bit PERR in the frame is set, as well as the interrupt flag PERR. Frames with parity errors are loaded into
the receive buffer like regular frames.
PERR can be accessed by reading the frame from the receive buffer using the LEUARTn_RXDATAX register.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.5.5 Framing Error and Break Detection
A framing error is the result of a received frame where the stop bit was sampled to a value of 0. This can be the result of noise and
baud rate errors, but can also be the result of a break generated by the transmitter on purpose.
When a framing error is detected, the framing error bit FERR in the received frame is set. The interrupt flag FERR in LEUARTn_IF is
also set. Frames with framing errors are loaded into the receive buffer like regular frames.
FERR can be accessed by reading the frame from the receive buffer using the LEUARTn_RXDATAX or LEUARTn_RXDATAXP registers.
17.3.5.6 Programmable Start Frame
The LEUART can be configured to start receiving data when a special start frame is detected on the input. This can be useful when
operating in low energy modes, allowing other devices to gain the attention of the LEUART by transmitting a given frame.
When SFUBRX in LEUARTn_CTRL is set, an incoming frame matching the frame defined in LEUARTn_STARTFRAME will result in
RXBLOCK in LEUARTn_STATUS being cleared. This can be used to enable reception when a specified start frame is detected. If the
receiver is enabled and blocked, i.e. RXENS and RXBLOCK in LEUARTn_STATUS are set, the receiver will receive all incoming
frames, but unless an incoming frame is a start frame it will be discarded and not loaded into the receive buffer. When a start frame is
detected, the block is cleared, and frames received from that point, including the start frame, are loaded into the receive buffer.
An incoming start frame results in the STARTF interrupt flag in LEUARTn_IF being set, regardless of the value of SFUBRX in
LEUARTn_CTRL. This allows an interrupt to be made when the start frame is detected.
When 8 data-bit frame formats are used, only the 8 least significant bits of LEUARTn_STARTFRAME are compared to incoming
frames. The full length of LEUARTn_STARTFRAME is used when operating with frames consisting of 9 data bits.
Note:
The receiver must be enabled for start frames to be detected. In addition, a start frame with a parity error or framing error is not detected as a start frame.

17.3.5.7 Programmable Signal Frame
As well as the configurable start frame, a special signal frame can be specified. When a frame matching the frame defined in
LEUARTn_SIGFRAME is detected by the receiver, the SIGF interrupt flag in LEUARTn_IF is set. As for start frame detection, the receiver must be enabled for signal frames to be detected.
One use of the programmable signal frame is to signal the end of a multi-frame message transmitted to the LEUART. An interrupt will
then be triggered when the packet has been completely received, allowing software to process it. Used in conjunction with the programmable start frame and DMA, this makes it possible for the LEUART to automatically begin the reception of a packet on a specified start
frame, load the entire packet into memory, and give an interrupt when reception of a packet has completed. The device can thus wait
for data packets in EM2 DeepSleep, and only be woken up when a packet has been completely received.
A signal frame with a parity error or framing error is not detected as a signal frame.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.5.8 Multi-Processor Mode
To simplify communication between multiple processors and maintain compatibility with the USART, the LEUART supports a multi-processor mode. In this mode the 9th data bit in each frame is used to indicate whether the content of the remaining 8 bits is data or an
address.
When multi-processor mode is enabled, an incoming 9-bit frame with the 9th bit equal to the value of MPAB in LEUARTn_CTRL is
identified as an address frame. When an address frame is detected, the MPAF interrupt flag in LEUARTn_IF is set, and the address
frame is loaded into the receive register. This happens regardless of the value of RXBLOCK in LEUARTn_STATUS.
Multi-processor mode is enabled by setting MPM in LEUARTn_CTRL. The mode can be used in buses with multiple slaves, allowing
the slaves to be addressed using the special address frames. An addressed slave, which was previously blocking reception using
RXBLOCK, would then unblock reception, receive a message from the bus master, and then block reception again, waiting for the next
message. See the USART for a more detailed example.
Note:
The programmable start frame functionality can be used for automatic address matching, enabling reception on a correctly configured
incoming frame.
An address frame with a parity error or a framing error is not detected as an address frame. The Start, Signal, and address frames
should not be set to match the same frame since each of these uses separate synchronization to the peripherial clock domain.
17.3.6 Loopback
The LEUART receiver samples LEUn_RX by default, and the transmitter drives LEUn_TX by default. This is not the only configuration
however. When LOOPBK in LEUARTn_CTRL is set, the receiver is connected to the LEUn_TX pin as shown in Figure 17.9 LEUART
Local Loopback on page 550. This is useful for debugging, as the LEUART can receive the data it transmits, but it is also used to
allow the LEUART to read and write to the same pin, which is required for some half duplex communication modes. In this mode, the
LEUn_TX pin must be enabled as an output in the GPIO.

17.3.7 Half Duplex Communication
When doing full duplex communication, two data links are provided, making it possible for data to be sent and received at the same
time. In half duplex mode, data is only sent in one direction at a time. There are several possible half duplex setups, as described in the
following sections.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.7.1 Single Data-link
In this setup, the LEUART both receives and transmits data on the same pin. This is enabled by setting LOOPBK in LEUARTn_CTRL,
which connects the receiver to the transmitter output. Because they are both connected to the same line, it is important that the
LEUART transmitter does not drive the line when receiving data, as this would corrupt the data on the line.
When communicating over a single data-link, the transmitter must thus be tristated whenever not transmitting data. If AUTOTRI in
LEUARTn_CTRL is set, the LEUART automatically tristates LEUn_TX whenever the transmitter is inactive. It is then the responsibility
of the software protocol to make sure the transmitter is not transmitting data whenever incoming data is expected.
The transmitter can also be tristated from software by configuring the GPIO pin as an input and disabling the LEUART output on
LEUn_TX.
Note:
Another way to tristate the transmitter is to enable wired-and or wired-or mode in GPIO. For wired-and mode, outputting a 1 will be the
same as tristating the output, and for wired-or mode, outputting a 0 will be the same as tristating the output. This can only be done on
buses with a pull-up or pull-down resistor respectively.

17.3.7.2 Single Data-link with External Driver
Some communication schemes, such as RS-485 rely on an external driver. Here, the driver has an extra input which enables it, and
instead of Tristating the transmitter when receiving data, the external driver must be disabled. The USART has hardware support for
automatically turning the driver on and off. When using the LEUART in such a setup, the driver must be controlled by a GPIO. Figure
17.10 LEUART Half Duplex Communication with External Driver on page 551 shows an example configuration using an external driver.

Figure 17.10. LEUART Half Duplex Communication with External Driver

17.3.7.3 Two Data-links
Some limited devices only support half duplex communication even though two data links are available. In this case software is responsible for making sure data is not transmitted when incoming data is expected.
17.3.8 Transmission Delay
By configuring TXDELAY in LEUARTn_CTRL, the transmitter can be forced to wait a number of bit-periods from when it is ready to
transmit data, to when it actually transmits the data. This delay is only applied to the first frame transmitted after the transmitter has
been idle. When transmitting frames back-to-back the delay is not introduced between the transmitted frames.
This is useful on half duplex buses, because the receiver always returns received frames to software during the first stop-bit. The bus
may still be driven for up to 3 bit periods, depending on the current frame format. Using the transmission delay, a transmission can be
started when a frame is received, and it is possible to make sure that the transmitter does not begin driving the output before the frame
on the bus is completely transmitted.
To route the UART TX and RX signals to a pin first select the desired pins using the RXLOC and TXLOC fields in the LEUARTn_ROUTELOC0 register. Then enable the connection using TXPEN and RXPEN in the LEUARTn_ROUTPEN register. See the device datasheet for mappings between UART locations (LOC0, LOC1, etc.) and device pins (PA0, PA1, etc.).

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.9 PRS RX Input
In addition to receiving data on an external pin the LEUART can be configured to receive data directly from a PRS channel by setting
RX_PRS in LEUARTn_INPUT. The PRS channel used can be selected using RX_PRS_SEL in LEUARTn_INPUT. See the PRS chapter
for more details on the PRS block.
For example the output of a comparator coudl be routed to the LEUART through the PRS to allow for recieving a signal with low peakto-peak voltage or a significant DC offset.
17.3.10 DMA Support
The LEUART has full DMA support in energy modes EM0 Active – EM2 DeepSleep. The DMA controller can write to the transmit buffer
using the registers LEUARTn_TXDATA and LEUARTn_TXDATAX, and it can read from receive buffer using the registers
LEUARTn_RXDATA and LEUARTn_RXDATAX. This enables single byte transfers and 9 bit data + control/status bits transfers both to
and from the LEUART. The DMA will start up the HFRCO and run from this when it is waken by the LEUART in EM2. The HFRCO is
disabled once the transaction is done.
A request for the DMA controller to read from the receive buffer can come from one of the following sources:
• Receive buffer full
A write request can come from one of the following sources:
• Transmit buffer and shift register empty. No data to send.
• Transmit buffer empty
In some cases, it may be sensible to temporarily stop DMA access to the LEUART when a parity or framing error has occurred. This is
enabled by setting ERRSDMA in LEUARTn_CTRL. When this bit is set, the DMA controller will not get requests from the receive buffer
if a framing error or parity error is detected in the received byte. The ERRSDMA bit applies only to the RX DMA.
When operating in EM2 DeepSleep, the DMA controller must be powered up in order to perform the transfer. This is automatically performed for read operations if RXDMAWU in LEUARTn_CTRL is set and for write operations if TXDMAWU in LEUARTn_CTRL is set. To
make sure the DMA controller still transfers bits to and from the LEUART in low energy modes, these bits must thus be configured
accordingly.
Note:
When RXDMAWU or TXDMAWU is set, the system will not be able to go to EM2 DeepSleep/EM3 Stop before all related LEUART DMA
requests have been processed. This means that if RXDMAWU is set and the LEUART receives a frame, the system will not be able to
go to EM2 DeepSleep/EM3 Stop before the frame has been read from the LEUART. In order for the system to go to EM2 during the last
byte transmission, LEUART_CTRL_TXDMAWU must be cleared in the DMA interrupt service routine. This is because TXBL will be high
during that last byte transfer.

LEUART - Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
17.3.11 Pulse Generator/ Pulse Extender
The LEUART has an optional pulse generator for the transmitter output, and a pulse extender on the receiver input. These are enabled
by setting PULSEEN in LEUARTn_PULSECTRL, and with INV in LEUARTn_CTRL set, they will change the output/input format of the
LEUART from NRZ to RZI as shown in Figure 17.11 LEUART - NRZ vs. RZI on page 553.

Figure 17.11. LEUART - NRZ vs. RZI
If PULSEEN in LEUARTn_PULSECTRL is set while INV in LEUARTn_CTRL is cleared, the output waveform will look like RZI shown in
Figure 17.11 LEUART - NRZ vs. RZI on page 553, only inverted.
The width of the pulses from the pulse generator can be configured using PULSEW in LEUARTn_PULSECTRL. The generated pulse
width is PULSEW + 1 cycles of the 32.768 kHz clock, which makes pulse width from 31.25µs to 500µs possible.
Since the incoming signal is only sampled on positive clock edges, the width of the incoming pulses must be at least two 32.768 kHz
clock periods wide for reliable detection by the LEUART receiver. They must also be shorter than half a UART bit period.
At 2400 baud or lower, the pulse generator is able to generate RZI pulses compatible with the IrDA physical layer specification. The
external IrDA device must generate pulses of sufficient length for successful two-way communication.
PULSEFILT in the LEUARTn_PULSECTRL register can be used to extend the minimum receive pulse width from 2 clock periods to 3
clock periods.
17.3.11.1 Interrupts
The interrupts generated by the LEUART are combined into one interrupt vector. If LEUART interrupts are enabled, an interrupt will be
made if one or more of the interrupt flags in LEUARTn_IF and their corresponding bits in LEUART_IEN are set.
17.3.12 Register access
Since this module is a Low Energy Peripheral, and runs off a clock which is asynchronous to the HFCORECLK, special considerations
must be taken when accessing registers. Please refer to 4.3 Access to Low Energy Peripherals (Asynchronous Registers) for a description on how to perform register accesses to Low Energy Peripherals.
The registers LEUARTn_FREEZE and LEUARTn_SYNCBUSY are used for synchronization of this peripheral.

Most applications have activities that need to be
timed accurately with as little CPU intervention and
energy consumption as possible.

Output compare/PWM

The flexible 16-bit timer can be configured to provide
PWM waveforms with optional dead-time insertion
(e.g. motor control) or work as a frequency generator. The timer can also count events and control other peripherals through the PRS, which offloads the
CPU and reduces energy consumption.

18.1 Introduction
The 16-bit general purpose timer has 3 or 4 compare/capture channels for input capture and compare/Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
output. TIMER0 also includes a Dead-Time Insertion module suitable for motor control applications.

18.3.1 Counter Modes
The timer consists of a counter that can be configured to the following modes:
1. Up-count: Counter counts up until it reaches the value in TIMERn_TOP, where it is reset to 0 before counting up again.
2. Down-count: The counter starts at the value in TIMERn_TOP and counts down. When it reaches 0, it is reloaded with the value in
TIMERn_TOP.
3. Up/Down-count: The counter starts at 0 and counts up. When it reaches the value in TIMERn_TOP, it counts down until it reaches
0 and starts counting up again.
4. Quadrature Decoder: Two input channels where one determines the count direction, while the other pin triggers a clock event.
In addition, to the TIMER modes listed above, the TIMER also supports a 2x Count Mode. In this mode the counter increments/decrements by 2. The 2x Count Mode intended use is to generate 2x PWM frequency when the Compare/Capture channel is put in PWM
mode. The 2x Count Mode can be enabled by setting the X2CNT bitfield in the TIMERn_CTRL register.
The counter value can be read or written by software at any time by accessing the CNT field in TIMERn_CNT.

TIMER - Timer/Counter
18.3.1.1 Events
Overflow is set when the counter value shifts from TIMERn_TOP to the next value when counting up. In up-count mode and Quadrature
Decoder mode the next value is 0. In up/down-count mode, the next value is TIMERn_TOP-1.
Underflow is set when the counter value shifts from 0 to the next value when counting down. In down-count mode and Quadrature Decoder mode, the next value is TIMERn_TOP. In up/down-count mode the next value is 1.
An update event occurs on overflow in up-count mode and on underflow in down-count or up/down count mode. Additionally, an update
event also occurs on overflow and underflow in Quadrature Decoder Mode. This event is used to time updates of buffered values.
18.3.1.2 Operation
Figure 18.2 TIMER Hardware Timer/Counter Control on page 581 shows the hardware Timer/Counter control. Software can start or
stop the counter by setting the START or STOP bits in TIMERn_CMD. The counter value (CNT in TIMERn_CNT) can always be written
by software to any 16-bit value.
It is also possible to control the counter through either an external pin or PRS input. This is done through the input logic for the Compare/Capture Channel 0. The Timer/Counter allows individual actions (start, stop, reload) to be taken for rising and falling input edges.
This is configured in the RISEA and FALLA fields in TIMERn_CTRL. The reload value is 0 in up-count and up/down-count mode and
TOP in down-count mode.
The RUNNING bit in TIMERn_STATUS indicates if the timer is running or not. If the SYNC bit in TIMERn_CTRL is set, the timer is
started/stopped/reloaded (external pin or PRS) when any of the other timers are started/stopped/reloaded.
The DIR bit in TIMERn_STATUS indicates the counting direction of the timer at any given time. The counter value can be read or written by software through the CNT field in TIMERn_CNT. In Up/Down-Count mode the count direction will be set to up if the CNT value is
written by software.

18.3.1.4 Peripheral Clock (HFPERCLK)
The peripheral clock (HFPERCLK) can be used as a source with a configurable prescale factor of 2^PRESC, where PRESC is an integer between 0 and 10, which is set in PRESC in TIMERn_CTRL. However, if 2x Count Mode is enabled and the Compare/Capture
channels are put in PWM mode, the CC output is updated on both clock edges so prescaling the peripheral clock will produce an incorrect result. The prescaler is stopped and reset when the timer is stopped.
18.3.1.5 Compare/ Capture Channel 1 Input
The timer can also be clocked by positive and/or negative edges on the Compare/Capture channel 1 input. This input can either come
from the TIMn_CC1 pin or one of the PRS channels. The input signal must not have a higher frequency than fHFPERCLK/3 when running
from a pin input or a PRS input with FILT enabled in TIMERn_CCx_CTRL. When running from PRS without FILT, the frequency can be
as high as fHFPERCLK. Note that when clocking the timer from the same pulse that triggers a start (through RISEA/FALLA in
TIMERn_CTRL), the starting pulse will not update the Counter Value.
18.3.1.6 Underflow/Overflow from Neighboring Timer
All timers are linked together (see Figure 18.4 TIMER Connections on page 582), allowing timers to count on overflow/underflow from
the lower numbered neighbouring timers to form a 32-bit or 48-bit timer. Note that all timers must be set to same count direction and
less significant timer(s) can only be set to count up or down.

18.3.1.7 One-Shot Mode
By default, the counter counts continuously until it is stopped. If the OSMEN bit is set in the TIMERn_CTRL register, however, the counter is disabled by hardware on the first update event (see 18.3.1.1 Events). Note that when the counter is running with CC1 as clock
source (0b01 in CLKSEL in TIMERn_CTRL) and OSMEN is set, a CC1 capture event will not take place on the update event (CC1
rising edge) that stops the timer.

18.3.1.8 Top Value Buffer
The TIMERn_TOP register can be altered either by writing it directly or by writing to the TIMER_TOPB (buffer) register. When writing to
the buffer register the TIMERn_TOPB register will be written to TIMERn_TOP on the next update event. Buffering ensures that the TOP
value is not set below the actual count value. The TOPBV flag in TIMERn_STATUS indicates whether the TIMERn_TOPB register contains data that has not yet been written to the TIMERn_TOP register (see Figure 18.5 TIMER TOP Value Update Functionality on page
583).
Note: When writing to TIMERn_TOP register directly, the TIMERn_TOPB register value will be invalidated and the TOPBV flag will be
cleared. This prevents TIMERn_TOP register from being immmediately updated by an existing vaild TIMERn_TOPB value during the
next update event.

18.3.1.9 Quadrature Decoder
Quadrature Decoding mode is used to track motion and determine both rotation direction and position. The Quadrature Decoder uses
two input channels that are 90 degrees out of phase (see Figure 18.6 TIMER Quadrature Encoded Inputs on page 584).

Channel A
90°

Channel B

Forward rotation (Channel A leads Channel B)
Channel A
Channel B

90°

Backward rotation (Channel B leads Channel A)

Figure 18.6. TIMER Quadrature Encoded Inputs
In the timer these inputs are tapped from the Compare/Capture channel 0 (Channel A) and 1 (Channel B) inputs before edge detection.
The Timer/Counter then increments or decrements the counter, based on the phase relation between the two inputs. The Quadrature
Decoder Mode supports two channels, but if a third channel (Z-terminal) is available, this can be connected to an external interrupt and
trigger a counter reset from the interrupt service routine. By connecting a periodic signal from another timer as input capture on
Compare/Capture Channel 2, it is also possible to calculate speed and acceleration.
Note: In Quadrature Decoder mode, overflow and underflow triggers an update event

18.3.2 Compare/Capture Channels
The timer contains 3 Compare/Capture channels, which can be configured in the following modes:
1. Input Capture
2. Output Compare
3. PWM
18.3.2.1 Input Pin Logic
Each Compare/Capture channel can be configured as an input source for the Capture Unit or as external clock source for the timer (see
Figure 18.11 TIMER Input Pin Logic on page 586). Compare/Capture channels 0 and 1 are the inputs for the Quadrature Decoder
Mode. The input channel can be filtered before it is used, which requires the input to remain stable for 5 cycles in a row before the input
is propagated to the output.

18.3.2.2 Compare/Capture Registers
The Compare/Capture channel registers are prefixed with TIMERn_CCx_, where the x stands for the channel number. Since the Compare/Capture channels serve three functions (input capture, compare, PWM), the behavior of the Compare/Capture registers
(TIMERn_CCx_CCV) and buffer registers (TIMERn_CCx_CCVB) change depending on the mode the channel is set in.

18.3.2.3 Input Capture
In Input Capture Mode, the counter value (TIMERn_CNT) can be captured in the Compare/Capture Register (TIMERn_CCx_CCV) (see

Figure 18.12. TIMER Input Capture
The Compare/Capture Buffer Register (TIMERn_CCx_CCVB) and the TIMERn_CCx_CCV register form double-buffered capture registers allowing two subsequent capture events to take place before a read-out is required. The first capture can always be read from
TIMERn_CCx_CCV, and reading this address will load the next capture value into TIMERn_CCx_CCV from TIMERn_CCx_CCVB if it
contains valid data. The CC value can be read without altering the FIFO contents by reading TIMERn_CCx_CCVP.
TIMERn_CCx_CCVB can also be read without altering the FIFO contents. The ICV flag in TIMERn_STATUS indicates if there is a valid
unread capture in TIMERn_CCx_CCV. In this mode, TIMERn_CCx_CCV is read-only.
In the case where a capture is triggered while both TIMERn_CCx_CCV and TIMERn_CCx_CCVB contain unread capture values, the
buffer overflow interrupt flag (ICBOF in TIMERn_IF) will be set. On overflow new capture values will overwrite the value in
TIMERn_CCx_CCVB and the value of TIMERn_CCx_CCV will remain unchanged. TIMERn_CCx_CCV will always contain the oldest
unread value and TIMERn_CCx_CCVB will always contain the newest value.
Note: In input capture mode, the timer will only trigger interrupts when it is running.

18.3.2.4 Period/Pulse-Width Capture
Period and/or pulse-width capture can only be possible with Channel 0 (CC0), because this is the only channel that can start and stop
the timer. This can be done by setting the RISEA field in TIMERn_CTRL to Clear&Start, and select the wanted input from either external pin or PRS, see Figure 18.13 TIMER Period and/or Pulse width Capture on page 588. For period capture, the Compare/Capture
Channel should then be set to input capture on a rising edge of the same input signal. To capture the width of a high pulse, the Compare/Capture Channel should be set to capture on a falling edge of the input signal. To measure the low pulse-width of a signal, opposite polarities should be chosen.

Each Compare/Capture channel contains a comparator which outputs a compare match if the contents of TIMERn_CCx_CCV matches

compare channel can be configured to either set, clear or toggle the output on an event (compare match, overflow or underflow). The

The compare output is delayed by one cycle to allow for full 0% to 100% PWM generation. Each example contains a high detail diagram whcih specifies the exact timing of events durring Compare or PWM operation. If occurring in the same cycle, match action will
have priority over overflow or underflow action.
The input selected (through PRSSEL, INSEL and FILTSEL in TIMERn_CCx_CTRL) for the CC channel will also be sampled on compare match and the result is found in the CCPOL bits in TIMERn_STATUS. It is also possible to configure the CCPOL to always track
the inputs by setting ATI in TIMERn_CTRL.
The COIST bit in TIMERn_CCx_CTRL is the initial state of the compare/PWM output. The COIST bit can also be used as an initial
value to the compare outputs on a reload-start when RSSCOIST is set in TIMERn_CTRL. Also the resulting output can be inverted by
setting OUTINV in TIMERn_CCx_CTRL. It is recommended to turn off the CC channel before configuring the output state to avoid any
pulses on the output. The CC channel can be turned off by setting MODE to OFF in TIMER_CCx_CTRL.

18.3.2.6 Compare Mode Registers
When running in Output Compare or PWM mode, the value in TIMERn_CCx_CCV will be compared against the count value. In Compare mode the output can be configured to toggle, clear or set on compare match, overflow, and underflow through the CMOA, COFOA
and CUFOA fields in TIMERn_CCx_CTRL. TIMERn_CCx_CCV can be accessd directly or through the buffer register
TIMERn_CCx_CCVB, see Figure 18.16 TIMER Output Compare/PWM Buffer Functionality Detail on page 590. When writing to the
buffer register, the value in TIMERn_CCx_CCVB will be written to TIMERn_CCx_CCV on the next update event. This functionality ensures glitch free PWM outputs. The CCVBV flag in TIMERn_STATUS indicates whether the TIMERn_CCx_CCVB register contains data
that has not yet been written to the TIMERn_CCx_CCV register. Note that when writing 0 to TIMERn_CCx_CCVB in up-down count
mode the CCV value is updated when the timer counts from 0 to 1. Thus, the compare match for the next period will not happen until
the timer reaches 0 again on the way down.

If the counter is set to up-count and the Compare/Capture channel is put in PWM mode, single slope PWM output will be generated

PWM output will be high for a number of cycles equal to TIMERn_CCx_CCV. This means that a constant high output is achieved by
setting TIMER_CCx to TOP+1 or higher. The PWM resolution (in bits) is then given by Figure 18.21 TIMER Up-count PWM Resolution

18.3.3 Dead-Time Insertion Unit (TIMER0 only)
The Dead-Time Insertion Unit aims to make control of brushless DC (BLDC) motors safer and more efficient by introducing complementary PWM outputs with dead-time insertion and fault handling, see Figure 18.39 TIMER Dead-Time Insertion Unit Overview on page

Figure 18.39. TIMER Dead-Time Insertion Unit Overview
When used for motor control, the PWM outputs TIM0_CC0, TIM0_CC1 and TIM0_CC2 are often connected to the high-side transistors
of a triple half-bridge setup (UH, VH and WH), and the complementary outputs connected to the respective low-side transistors (UL, VL,
WL shown in Figure 18.40 TIMER Triple Half-Bridge on page 596). Transistors used in such a bridge often do not open/close instantaneously, and using the exact complementary inputs for the high and low side of a half-bridge may result in situations where both gates
are open. This can give unnecessary current-draw and short circuit the power supply. The DTI unit provides dead-time insertion to deal
with this problem.

The DTI unit is enabled by setting DTEN in TIMER0_DTCTRL. In addition to providing the complementary outputs, the DTI unit then
also overrides the compare match outputs from the timer.
The DTI unit gives the rising edges of the PWM outputs and the rising edges of the complementary PWM outputs a configurable time
delay. By doing this, the DTI unit introduces a dead-time where both the primary and complementary outputs in a pair are inactive as
seen in Figure 18.42 TIMER Polarity of Both Signals are Set as Active-High on page 597.

Original PWM
TIM0_CC0
TIM0_CDTI0

Figure 18.42. TIMER Polarity of Both Signals are Set as Active-High
Dead-time is specified individually for the rising and falling edge of the original PWM. These values are shared across all the three
PWM channels of the DTI unit. A single prescaler value is provided for the DTI unit, meaning that both the rising and falling edge deadtimes share prescaler value. The prescaler divides the HFPERCLKTIMERn by a configurable factor between 1 and 1024, which is set in
the DTPRESC field in TIMER0_DTTIME. The rising and falling edge dead-times are configured in DTRISET and DTFALLT in TIMER0_DTTIME to any number between 1-64 HFPERCLKTIMER0 cycles.
The DTAR and DTFATS bits in TIMER0_DTCTRL control the DTI output behavior when the timer stops. By default the DTI block stops
when the timer is stopped. Setting the DTAR bit will cause the DTI to output on channel 0 to continue when the timer is stopped. DTAR
effects only channel 0. See 18.3.3.2 PRS Channel as a Source for an example of when this can be used. While in this mode the undivided HFPERCLK_TIMER0 (DTPRESC=0) is always used regardless of programmed DTPRESC value in TIMER0_DTTIME. This means
that rise and fall dead times are calculated assuming DTPRESC = 0.
When the timer stops DTI outputs are frozen by default, preserving their last state. To allow the outputs to go to a safe state as programmed in the DTFA field of TIMER0_DTFC register and set the DTFATS bitfield in the TIMER0_DTCTRL reg. Note that when DTAR
is also set, DTAR has priority over DTFATS for DTI channel 0 output.

TIMER - Timer/Counter
18.3.3.1 Output Polarity
The value of the primary and complementary outputs in a pair will never be set active at the same time by the DTI unit. The polarity of
the outputs can be changed however, if this is required by the application. The active values of the primary and complementary outputs
are set by the DTIPOL and DTCINV bits in the TIMER0_DTCTRL register. The DTIPOL bit of this register specifies the base polarity. If
DTIPOL =0, then the outputs are active-high, and if DTIPOL = 1 they are active-low. The relative phase of the primary and complementary outputs is not changed by DTIPOL, as the polarity of both outputs is changed, see Figure 18.45 TIMER Output Polarities on page
599
In some applications, it may be required that the primary outputs are active-high, while the complementary outputs are active-low. This
can be accomplished by manipulating the DTCINV bit of the TIMER0_DTCTRL register, which inverts the polarity of the complementary
outputs relative to the primary outputs.
DTIPOL = 0 and DTCINV = 0 results in outputs with opposite phase and active-high states.
Figure 18.43. TIMER DTI Example 1

DTIPOL = 1 and DTCINV = 1 results in outputs with equal phase. The primary output will be active-high, while the complementary will

TIMER - Timer/Counter
18.3.3.2 PRS Channel as a Source
A PRS channel can be used as input to the DTI module instead of the PWM output from the timer for DTI channel 0. Setting DTPRSEN
in TIMER0_DTCTRL will override the source of the first DTI channel, driving TIM0_CC0 and TIM0_CDTI0, with the value on the PRS
channel. The rest of the DTI channels will continue to be driven by the PWM output from the timer. The input PRS channel is chosen by
configuring DTPRSSEL in TIMER0_DTCTRL. Note that the timer must be running even when PRS is used as DTI source. However, if it
is required to keep the DTI channel 0 running even when the timer is stopped, set DTAR in TIMER0_DTCTRL. When this bit is set, it
uses DTPRESC=0 regardless of the value programmed in DTPRESC in TIMER0_DTTIME.
The DTI prescaler, set by DTPRESC in TIMER0_DTTIME determines the accuracy with which the DTI can insert dead-time into a PRS
signal. The maximum dead-time error equals 2DTPRESC clock cycles. With zero prescaling, the inserted dead-times are therefore accurate, but they may be inaccurate for larger prescaler settings.
18.3.3.3 Fault Handling
The fault handling system of the DTI unit allows the outputs of the DTI unit to be put in a well-defined state in case of a fault. This
hardware fault handling system enables a fast reaction to faults, reducing the possibility of damage to the system.
The fault sources which trigger a fault in the DTI module are determined by the bitfields of TIMER0_DTFC register. Any combination of
the available error sources can be selected:
• PRS source 0, determined by DTPRS0FSEL in TIMER0_DTFC
• PRS source 1, determined by DTPRS1FSEL in TIMER0_DTFC
• Debugger
• Core Lockup
One or two PRS channels can be used as an error source. When PRS source 0 is selected as an error source, DTPRS0FSEL determines which PRS channel is used for this source. DTPRS1FSEL determines which PRS channel is selected as PRS source 1. Please
note that for Core Lockup, the LOCKUPRDIS in RMU_CTRL must be set. Otherwise this will generate a full reset of the chip.
18.3.3.4 Action on Fault
When a fault occurs, the bit representing the fault source is set in TIMER0_DTFAULT register, and the outputs from the DTI unit are set
to a well-defined state. The following options are available, and can be enabled by configuring DTFACT in TIMER0_DTFC:
• Set outputs to inactive level
• Clear outputs
• Tristate outputs
With the first option enabled, the output state in case of a fault depends on the polarity settings for the individual outputs. An output set
to be active high will be set low if a fault is detected, while an output set to be active low will be driven high.
When a fault occurs, the fault source(s) can be read out from TIMER0_DTFAULT register.
Additionally a fault action can also be triggered when the timer stops if DTFATS in TIMER0_DTCTRL is set. This allows the DTI output
to go to safe state programmed in DTFACT in TIMER0_DTFC when timer stops. When DTAR and DTFATS in TIMER0_DTCTRL are
both set, DTI channel 0 keeps running even when the timer stops. This is useful when DTI channel 0 has an input coming from PRS.
18.3.3.5 Exiting Fault State
When a fault is triggered by the PRS system, software intervention is required to re-enable the outputs of the DTI unit. This is done by
manually clearing bits in TIMER0_DTFAULT register. If the fault source as determined by checking TIMER0_DEFAULT is the debugger
alone, the outputs can be automatically restarted when the debugger exits. To eable automatic restart set DTDAS in TIMER0_DCTRL.
When an automatic restart occurs the DTDBGF bit in TIMER0_DTFAULT will be automatically cleared by hardware. If any other bits in
the TIMER0_DTFAULT register are set when the hardware clears DTDBGF the DTI module will not exit the fault state.
18.3.3.6 DTI Configuration Lock
To prevent software errors from making changes to the DTI configuration, a configuration lock is available. Writing any value but
0xCE80 to LOCKKEY in TIMER0_DTLOCK results in TIMER0_DTFC, TIMER0_DTCTRL, TIMER0_DTTIME and TIMER0_ROUTE being locked from writing. To unlock the registers, write 0xCE80 to LOCKKEY in TIMER0_DTLOCK. The value of TIMER0_DTLOCK is 1
when the lock is active, and 0 when the registers are unlocked.
18.3.4 Debug Mode
When the CPU is halted in debug mode, the timer can be configured to either continue to run or to be frozen. This is configured in
DEBUGRUN in TIMERn_CTRL.

TIMER - Timer/Counter
18.3.5 Interrupts, DMA and PRS Output
The timer has 3 different types of output events:
• Counter Underflow
• Counter Overflow
• Compare match or input capture (one per Compare/Capture channel)
Each of the events has its own interrupt flag. Also, there is one interrupt flag for each Compare/Capture channel which is set on buffer
overflow in capture mode. Buffer overflow happens when a new capture pushes an old unread capture out of the TIMERn_CCx_CCV/
TIMERn_CCx_CCVB register pair.
If the interrupt flags are set and the corresponding interrupt enable bits in TIMERn_IEN are set high, the timer will send out an interrupt
request. Each of the events will also lead to a one HFPERCLKTIMERn cycle high pulse on individual PRS outputs. Setting PRSOCNF to
LEVEL in TIMERn_CCx_CTRL will make the compare match PRS output follow the compare match output, instead of outputting one
HFPERCLKTIMERn cycle high pulse. Interrupts are cleared by setting the corresponding bit in the TIMERn_IFC register.
Each of the events will also set a DMA request when they occur. The different DMA requests are cleared when certain acknowledge
conditions are met, see Table 18.4 TIMER DMA Events on page 601. Events which clear the DMA requests do not clear interrupt
flags. Software must still manaually clear the interrupt flag if interrupts are in use.
If DMACLRACT is set in TIMERn_CTRL, the DMA request is cleared when the triggered DMA channel is active, without having to access any timer registers. This is usfull in cases where a timer event is used to trigger a DMA tansfer that does not target the CCV or
CCVB register.

The TIMn_CCx inputs/outputs and TIM0_CDTIx outputs are accessible as alternate functions through GPIO. Each pin connection can
be enabled/disabled separately by setting the corresponding CCxPEN or CDTIxPEN bits in TIMERn_ROUTE. The LOCATION bits in
the same register can be used to move all enabled pins to alternate pins. See the device datasheet for the mapping between block
locations (LOC0, LOC1, etc.) and actual device pins (PA0, PA1, etc.).

Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

The LETIMER is a down-counter that can keep track
of time and output configurable waveforms. Running
on a 32.768 Hz, clock the LETIMER is available in
EM2 DeepSleep.
Why?

RTC

The LETIMER can be used to provide repeatable
waveforms to external components while remaining
in EM2 DeepSleep. It is well suited for applications
such as metering systems or to provide more compare values than available in the RTC.
How?

LETIMER

With buffered repeat and top value registers, the LETIMER can provide glitch-free waveforms at frequencies up to 16 kHz. It can be coupled with RTC
using PRS, allowing advanced time-keeping and
wake-up functions in EM2 DeepSleep

19.1 Introduction
The unique LETIMERTM, the Low Energy Timer, is a 16-bit timer that is available in energy mode EM2 DeepSleep EM1 Sleep, and
EM0 Active. Because of this, it can be used for timing and output generation when most of the device is powered down, allowing simple
tasks to be performed while the power consumption of the system is kept at an absolute minimum.
The LETIMER can be used to output a variety of waveforms with minimal software intervention. It can also be connected to the Real
Time Counter (RTC) using PRS, and can be configured to start counting on compare matches from the RTC.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3 Functional Description

Peripheral bus

An overview of the LETIMER module is shown in Figure 19.1 LETIMER Overview on page 645. The LETIMER is a 16-bit down-counter with two compare registers, LETIMERn_COMP0 and LETIMERn_COMP1. The LETIMERn_COMP0 register can optionally act as a
top value for the counter. The repeat counter LETIMERn_REP0 allows the timer to count a specified number of times before it stops.
Both the LETIMERn_COMP0 and LETIMERn_REP0 registers can be double buffered by the LETIMERn_COMP1 and LETIMERn_REP1 registers to allow continuous operation. The timer can generate a single pin output, or two linked outputs.

Figure 19.1. LETIMER Overview

19.3.1 Timer
The timer is started by setting command bit START in LETIMERn_CMD, and stopped by setting the STOP command bit in the same
register. RUNNING in LETIMERn_STATUS is set as long as the timer is running. The timer can also be started on external signals,
such as a compare match from the Real Time Counter. If START and STOP are set at the same time, STOP has priority, and the timer
will be stopped.
The timer value can be read using the LETIMERn_CNT register. The value can be written, and it can also be cleared by setting the
CLEAR command bit in LETIMERn_CMD. If the CLEAR and START commands are issued at the same time, the timer will be cleared,
then start counting at the top value.
19.3.2 Compare Registers
The LETIMER has two compare match registers, LETIMERn_COMP0 and LETIMERn_COMP1. Each of these compare registers are
capable of generating an interrupt when the counter value LETIMERn_CNT becomes equal to their value. When LETIMERn_CNT becomes equal to the value of LETIMERn_COMP0, the interrupt flag COMP0 in LETIMERn_IF is set, and when LETIMERn_CNT becomes equal to the value of LETIMERn_COMP1, the interrupt flag COMP1 in LETIMERn_IF is set.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3.3 Top Value
If COMP0TOP in LETIMERn_CTRL is set, the value of LETIMERn_COMP0 acts as the top value of the timer, and LETIMERn_COMP0
is loaded into LETIMERn_CNT on timer underflow. If COMP0TOP is cleared to 0, the timer wraps around to 0xFFFF. The underflow
interrupt flag UF in LETIMERn_IF is set when the timer reaches zero.
19.3.3.1 Buffered Top Value
If BUFTOP in LETIMERn_CTRL is set, the value of LETIMERn_COMP0 is buffered by LETIMERn_COMP1. In this mode, the value of
LETIMERn_COMP1 is loaded into LETIMERn_COMP0 every time LETIMERn_REP0 is about to decrement to 0. This can for instance
be used in conjunction with the buffered repeat mode to generate continually changing output waveforms.
Write operations to LETIMERn_COMP0 have priority over buffer loads.
19.3.3.2 Repeat Modes
By default, the timer wraps around to the top value or 0xFFFF on each underflow, and continues counting. The repeat counters can be
used to get more control of the operation of the timer, including defining the number of times the counter should wrap around. Four
different repeat modes are available, see Table 19.1 LETIMER Repeat Modes on page 646.

Description

0b00

Free-running

The timer runs until it is stopped.

0b01

One-shot

The timer runs as long as LETIMERn_REP0 != 0. LETIMERn_REP0 is decremented at each timer underflow.

0b10

Buffered

The timer runs as long as LETIMERn_REP0 != 0. LETIMERn_REP0 is decremented on each timer underflow. If LETIMERn_REP1 has been written, it is loaded into LETIMERn_REP0 when LETIMERn_REP0 is about to be decremented
to 0.

0b11

Double

The timer runs as long as LETIMERn_REP0 != 0 or LETIMERn_REP1 !=
0. Both LETIMERn_REP0 and LETIMERn_REP1 are decremented at each timer underflow.

The interrupt flags REP0 and REP1 in LETIMERn_IF are set whenever LETIMERn_REP0 or LETIMERn_REP1 are decremented to 0
respectively. REP0 is also set when the value of LETIMERn_REP1 is loaded into LETIMERn_REP0 in buffered mode.

19.3.3.3 Free-Running Mode
In free-running mode, the LETIMER acts as a regular timer and the repeat counter is disabled. When started, the timer runs until it is
stopped using the STOP command bit in LETIMERn_CMD. A state machine for this mode is shown in Figure 19.2 LETIMER State
Machine for Free-running Mode on page 647 .

Note that the CLEAR command bit in LETIMERn_CMD always has priority over other changes to LETIMERn_CNT. When the clear
command is used, LETIMERn_CNT is set to 0 and an underflow event will not be generated when LETIMERn_CNT wraps around to
the top value or 0xFFFF. Since no underflow event is generated, no output action is performed. LETIMERn_REP0, LETIMERn_REP1,
LETIMERn_COMP0 and LETIMERn_COMP1 are also left untouched.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3.3.4 One-shot Mode
The one-shot repeat mode is the most basic repeat mode. In this mode, the repeat register LETIMERn_REP0 is decremented every
time the timer underflows, and the timer stops when LETIMERn_REP0 goes from 1 to 0. In this mode, the timer counts down LETIMERn_REP0 times, i.e. the timer underflows LETIMERn_REP0 times.
Note:
Note that write operations to LETIMERn_REP0 have priority over the timer decrement event. If LETIMERn_REP0 is assigned a new
value in the same cycle as a timer decrement event occurs, the timer decrement will not occur and the new value is assigned.
LETIMERn_REP0 can be written while the timer is running to allow the timer to run for longer periods at a time without stopping. Figure

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3.3.5 Buffered Mode
The Buffered repeat mode allows buffered timer operation. When started, the timer runs LETIMERn_REP0 number of times. If LETIMERn_REP1 has been written since the last time it was used and it is nonzero, LETIMERn_REP1 is then loaded into LETIMERn_REP0, and counting continues the new number of times. The timer keeps going as long as LETIMERn_REP1 is updated with a
nonzero value before LETIMERn_REP0 is finished counting down. The timer top value (LETIMERn_COMP0) may also optionally be
buffered by setting BUFTOP in LETIMERn_CTRL.
If the timer is started when both LETIMERn_CNT and LETIMERn_REP0 are zero but LETIMERn_REP1 is non-zero, LETIMERn_REP1
is loaded into LETIMERn_REP0, and the counter counts the loaded number of times.
Used in conjunction with a buffered top value, both the top and repeat values of the timer may be buffered, and the timer can for instance be set to run 4 times with period 7 (top value 6), 6 times with period 200, then 3 times with period 50.
A state machine for the buffered repeat mode is shown in Figure 19.4 LETIMER Buffered Repeat State Machine on page 649.
REP1USED shown in the state machine is an internal variable that keeps track of whether the value in LETIMERn_REP1 has been loaded into LETIMERn_REP0 or not. The purpose of this is that a value written to LETIMERn_REP1 should only be counted once.
REP1USED is cleared whenever LETIMERn_REP1 is written.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3.3.6 Double Mode
The Double repeat mode works much like the one-shot repeat mode. The difference is that, where the one-shot mode counts as long
as LETIMERn_REP0 is larger than 0, the double mode counts as long as either LETIMERn_REP0 or LETIMERn_REP1 is larger than
0. As an example, say LETIMERn_REP0 is 3 and LETIMERn_REP1 is 10 when the timer is started. If no further interaction is done with
the timer, LETIMERn_REP0 will now be decremented 3 times, and LETIMERn_REP1 will be decremented 10 times. The timer counts a
total of 10 times, and LETIMERn_REP0 is 0 after the first three timer underflows and stays at 0. LETIMERn_REP0 and LETIMERn_REP1 can be written at any time. After a write to either of these, the timer is guaranteed to underflow at least the written number
of times if the timer is running. Use the Double repeat mode to generate output on both the LETIMER outputs at the same time. The
state machine for this repeat mode can be seen in Figure 19.5 LETIMER Double Repeat State Machine on page 650.

The LETIMER can be configured to start, stop, and/or clear based on PRS inputs. The diagram showing the functions of the PRS input
triggers is shown in Figure 19.7 LETIMER PRS input triggers. on page 651.
There are 12 PRS inputs to the LETIMER. PRSSTARTEN, PRSSTOPEN, and PRSCLEAREN are used to enable starting, stopping,
and/or clearing the LETIMER through the PRS inputs. PRSSTARTSEL, PRSSTOPSEL, and PRSCLEARSEL selects which PRS inputs
are used to start, stop, and/or clear the LETIMER. Finally, PRSSTARTMODE, PRSSTOPMODE, and PRSCLEARMODE select which
edge or edge(s) can trigger the start, stop, and/or clear action.

19.3.3.9 Debug
If DEBUGRUN in LETIMERn_CTRL is cleared, the LETIMER automatically stops counting when the CPU is halted during a debug session, and resumes operation when the CPU continues. Because of synchronization, the LETIMER is halted two clock cycles after the
CPU is halted, and continues running two clock cycles after the CPU continues. RUNNING in LETIMERn_STATUS is not cleared when
the LETIMER stops because of a debug-session.
Set DEBUGRUN in LETIMERn_CTRL to allow the LETIMER to continue counting even when the CPU is halted in debug mode.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3.4 Underflow Output Action
For each of the repeat registers, an underflow output action can be set. The configured output action is performed every time the counter underflows while the respective repeat register is nonzero. In PWM mode, the output is similarly only changed on COMP1 match if
the repeat register is nonzero. As an example, the timer will perform 7 output actions if LETIMERn_REP0 is set to 7 when starting the
timer in one-shot mode and leaving it untouched.
The output actions can be set by configuring UFOA0 and UFOA1 in LETIMERn_CTRL. UFOA0 defines the action on output 0, and is
connected to LETIMERn_REP0, while UFOA1 defines the action on output 1 and is connected to LETIMERn_REP1. The possible actions are defined in Table 19.2 LETIMER Underflow Output Actions on page 652.
Table 19.2. LETIMER Underflow Output Actions
UF0A0/UF0A1

Mode

Description

0b00

Idle

The output is held at its idle value

0b01

Toggle

The output is toggled on LETIMERn_CNT
underflow if LEIMERn_REPx is nonzero

0b10

Pulse

The output is held active for one clock cycle on LETIMERn_CNT underflow if LETIMERn_REPx is nonzero. It then returns to
its idle value

0b11

PWM

The output is set idle on LETIMERn_CNT
underflow and active on compare match
with LETIMERn_COMP1 if LETIMERn_REPx is nonzero.

Note:
For the Pulse and PWM modes, the outputs will return to their idle states regardless of the state of the corresponding LETIMERn_REPx
registers. They will only be set active if the LETIMERn_REPx registers are nonzero however.
Note:
For free-running mode, LETIMERn_REP0 != 0 for output generation to be enabled.
The polarity of the outputs can be set individually by configuring OPOL0 and OPOL1 in LETIMERn_CTRL. When these are cleared,
their respective outputs have a low idle value and a high active value. When they are set, the idle value is high, and the active value is
low.
When using the toggle action, the outputs can be driven to their idle values by setting their respective CTO0/CTO1 command bits in
LETIMERn_CTRL. This can be used to put the output in a well-defined state before beginning to generate toggle output, which may be
important in some applications. The command bit can also be used while the timer is running.
Some simple waveforms generated with the different output modes are shown in Figure 19.8 LETIMER Simple Waveforms Output on
page 653. For the example, REPMODE in LETIMERn_CTRL has been cleared, COMP0TOP also in LETIMERn_CTRL has been set
and LETIMERn_COMP0 has been written to 3. As seen in the figure, LETIMERn_COMP0 now decides the length of the signal periods.
For the toggle mode, the period of the output signal is 2(LETIMERn_COMP0 + 1), and for the pulse modes, the periods of the output
signals are LETIMERn_COMP0+1. Note that the pulse outputs are delayed by one period relative to the toggle output. The pulses
come at the end of their periods.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3.6.1 Triggered Output Generation
If both LETIMERn_CNT and LETIMERn_REP0 are 0 in buffered mode, and COMP0TOP and BUFTOP in LETIMERn_CTRL are set,
the values of LETIMERn_COMP1 and LETIMERn_REP1 are loaded into LETIMERn_CNT and LETIMERn_REP0 respectively when
the timer is started. If no additional writes to LETIMERn_REP1 are done before the timer stops, LETIMERn_REP1 determines the number of pulses/toggles generated on the output, and LETIMERn_COMP1 determines the period lengths.
As the RTC can be used via PRS to start the LETIMER, the RTC and LETIMER can thus be combined to generate specific pulse-trains
at given intervals. Software can update LETIMERn_COMP1 and LETIMERn_REP1 to change the number of pulses and pulse-period in
each train, but if changes are not required, software does not have to update the registers between each pulse train.
For the example in Figure 19.11 LETIMER Triggered Operation on page 655, the initial values cause the LETIMER to generate two
pulses with 3 cycle periods, or a single pulse 3 cycles wide every time the LETIMER is started. After the output has been generated, the
LETIMER stops, and is ready to be triggered again.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
19.3.6.2 Continuous Output Generation
In some scenarios, it might be desired to make LETIMER generate a continuous waveform. Very simple constant waveforms can be
generated without the repeat counter as shown in Figure 19.8 LETIMER Simple Waveforms Output on page 653, but to generate
changing waveforms, using the repeat counter and buffer registers can prove advantageous.
For the example in Figure 19.12 LETIMER Continuous Operation on page 656, the goal is to produce a pulse train consisting of 3
sequences with the following properties:
• 3 pulses with periods of 3 cycles
• 4 pulses with periods of 2 cycles
• 2 pulses with periods of 3 cycles

Figure 19.12. LETIMER Continuous Operation
The first two sequences are loaded into the LETIMER before the timer is started.
LETIMERn_COMP0 is set to 2 (cycles – 1), and LETIMERn_REP0 is set to 3 for the first sequence, and the second sequence is loaded
into the buffer registers, i.e. COMP1 is set to 1 and LETIMERn_REP1 is set to 4.
The LETIMER is set to trigger an interrupt when LETIMERn_REP0 is done by setting REP0 in LETIMERn_IEN. This interrupt is a good
place to update the values of the buffers. Last but not least REPMODE in LETIMERn_CTRL is set to buffered mode, and the timer is
started.
In the interrupt routine the buffers are updated with the values for the third sequence. If this had not been done, the timer would have
stopped after the second sequence.

LETIMER - Low Energy Timer
The final result is shown in Figure 19.12 LETIMER Continuous Operation on page 656. The pulse output is grouped to show which
sequence generated which output. Toggle output is also shown in the figure. Note that the toggle output is not aligned with the pulse
outputs.
Note:
Multiple LETIMER cycles are required to write a value to the LETIMER registers. The example in Figure 19.12 LETIMER Continuous
Operation on page 656 assumes that writes are done in advance so they arrive in the LETIMER as described in the figure.
Figure 19.13 LETIMER LETIMERn_CNT Not Initialized to 0 on page 657 shows an example where the LETIMER is started while LETIMERn_CNT is nonzero. In this case the length of the first repetition is given by the value in LETIMERn_CNT.

19.3.6.3 PWM Output
There are several ways of generating PWM output with the LETIMER, but the most straight-forward way is using the PWM output
mode. This mode is enabled by setting UFOA0 or UFOA1 in LETIMERn_CTRL to 3. In PWM mode, the output is set idle on timer underflow, and active on LETIMERn_COMP1 match, so if for instance COMP0TOP = 1 and OPOL0 = 0 in LETIMERn_CTRL, LETIMERn_COMP0 determines the PWM period, and LETIMERn_COMP1 determines the active period.
The PWM period in PWM mode is LETIMERn_COMP0 + 1. There is no special handling of the case where LETIMERn_COMP1 > LETIMERn_COMP0, so if LETIMERn_COMP1 > LETIMERn_COMP0, the PWM output is given by the idle output value. This means that
for OPOLx = 0 in LETIMERn_CTRL, the PWM output will always be 0 for at least one clock cycle, and for OPOLx = 1 LETIMERn_CTRL, the PWM output will always be 1 for at least one clock cycle.
To generate a PWM signal using the full PWM range, invert OPOLx when LETIMERn_COMP1 is set to a value larger than LETIMERn_COMP0.
19.3.6.4 Interrupts
The interrupts generated by the LETIMER are combined into one interrupt vector. If the interrupt for the LETIMER is enabled, an interrupt will be made if one or more of the interrupt flags in LETIMERn_IF and their corresponding bits in LETIMER_IEN are set.

CRYOTIMER - Ultra Low Energy Timer/Counter

20. CRYOTIMER - Ultra Low Energy Timer/Counter
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

The CRYOTIMER is a timer capable of providing
wakeup events/interrupts after deterministic intervals
in all energy modes, including EM4.
Why?

CRYOTIMER

The CRYOTIMER enables the chip to remain in the
lowest energy modes for long durations, while keeping track of time and being able to wake up at regular intervals, all with an absolute minimum current
consumption.

Counter
Low Frequency
Oscillator

How?
=
Wakeup Event

Using a counter running on a prescaled Low Frequency Oscillator, the CRYOTIMER can provide periodic wakeup events with a very wide period range.

Period

20.1 Introduction
The CRYOTIMER is a 32 bit counter which operates on a low frequency oscillator, and is capable of running in all Energy Modes. It can
provide periodic Wakeup events and PRS signals which can be used to wake up peripherals from any energy mode. The CRYOTIMER
provides a very wide range of periods for the interrupts facilitating flexible ultra-low energy operation.
Because of its simplicity, the CRYOTIMER is a lower energy solution for periodically waking up the MCU compared to the RTCC.

CRYOTIMER - Ultra Low Energy Timer/Counter
20.3.2 Operation
The desired low frequency oscillator for the CRYOTIMER operation can be selected by using OSCSEL in CRYOTIMER_CTRL. The
selection must be made before enabling the CRYOTIMER, and it must be ensured that the selected oscillator is ready. This can be
checked by observing LFXORDY or LFRCORDY (depending upon the oscillator selection) in CMU_STATUS. Note that the ULFRCO is
always ready.
By default the CRYOTIMER is held in reset. It can be started by setting EN in CRYOTIMER_CTRL. The CRYOTIMER, when running, is
reset by clearing EN.
The timer counts at a frequency determined by PRESC in CRYOTIMER_CTRL. This value should be set before the CRYOTIMER is
enabled. Setting PRESC to 0 gives the maximum resolution, while higher values allow longer periods, see Table 20.1 CRYOTIMER
Resolution vs Maximum Wakeup event/Interrupt period, FCRYOCLK = 32768 Hz on page 679.
The 32-bit Counter provides 32 different options for selecting the duration between the Wakeup events. The selected duration is specified by CRYOTIMER_PERIODSEL. It should be configured before the CRYOTIMER is enabled.
TWU = (2PRESC x 2PERIODSEL)/fCRYOCLK

The 32-bit counter value of the CRYOTIMER can be read using the CRYOTIMER_CNT register.
The PRS output pulses of the CRYOTIMER are 1 CRYOCLK clock cycle wide. However, if the PRESC and PERIODSEL are both set to
0, the width of these pulses will be half CRYOCLK time period.
The CRYOTIMER wakeup events set the flag in the CRYOTIMER_IF. Interrupt on this event can be enabled by using the CRYOTIMER_IEN register.
The CRYOTIMER is always reset by the External Pin and Power-On resets. Additionally, by using EMU_CTRL, it can also be configured to reset by Watchdog, lockup, and system request resets.
Note: The CRYOTIMER configuration bits/registers should only be changed when EN in CRYOTIMER_CTRL is cleared.

20.3.3 Debug Mode
When the CPU is halted in debug mode, the CRYOTIMER can be configured to either continue to run or to be frozen. This is configured
using DEBUGRUN in CRYOTIMER_CTRL.
20.3.4 Energy Mode availability
The CRYOTIMER is available in all Energy Modes. Wakeup from EM2 DeepSleep and EM3 Stop to EM0 Active can be performed using the regular interrupt as discussed in 20.3.2 Operation. To generate wakeup events during EM4 Hibernate/Shutoff, EM4WU in
CRYOTIMER_EM4WUEN must be set to 1. Refer to 9. EMU - Energy Management Unit for details on how to configure the EMU.

ACMP - Analog Comparator

21. ACMP - Analog Comparator
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

The ACMP (Analog Comparator) compares two analog signals and returns a digital value telling which is
greater.
Why?
Applications often do not need to know the exact
value of an analog signal, only if it has passed a certain threshold. Often the voltage must be monitored
continuously, which requires extremely low power
consumption.
How?
Available down to Energy Mode 3 and using as little
as 100 nA, the ACMP can wake up the system when
input signals pass the threshold. The analog comparator can compare two analog signals or one analog
signal and a highly configurable internal reference.

21.1 Introduction
The Analog Comparator compares the voltage of two analog inputs and outputs a digital signal indicating which input voltage is higher.
Inputs can either be from internal references or from external pins. Response time, and thereby the current consumption, can be configured by altering the current supply to the comparator.
21.2 Features
• Up to 144 selectable external I/O inputs for both positive and negative inputs
• Up to 48 I/O can be used as a dividable reference
• Voltage supply monitoring
• Low power mode for internal V DD and bandgap references
• Selectable hysteresis
• 8 values
• Values can be positive or negative
• Divideable references have scale for both both output values, allowing for even larger hysteresis
• Selectable response time
• Asynchronous interrupt generation on selectable edges
• Rising edge
• Falling edge
• Both edges
• Operational in EM0 Active down to EM3 Stop
• Dedicated capacitive sense mode with up to 80 inputs
• Adjustable internal resistor
• Configurable output when inactive
• Comparator output direct on PRS
• Comparator output on GPIO through alternate functionality
• Output inversion available

Figure 21.1. ACMP Overview
The comparator has two analog inputs: one positive and one negative. When the comparator is active, the output indicates which of the
two input voltages is higher. When the voltage on the positive input is higher than the voltage on the negative input, the digital output is
high and vice versa.
The output of the comparator can be read in the ACMPOUT bit in ACMPn_STATUS. It is possible to switch inputs while the comparator
is enabled, but all other configuration should only be changed while the comparator is disabled.

ACMP - Analog Comparator
21.3.1 Warm-up Time
The analog comparator is enabled by setting the EN bit in ACMPn_CTRL. The comparator requires some time to stabilize after it is
enabled. This time period is called the warm-up time. The warm-up period is self-timed and will complete within 5µs after EN is set.
During warm-up and when the comparator is disabled, the output level of the comparator is set to the value of the INACTVAL bit in
ACMPn_CTRL. When the warm-up time is over, the ACMPACT bit in ACMPn_STATUS is set to 1 to indicate that the comparator is
active.
An edge interrupt will be generated if the edge interrupt is enabled and the value set in INACTVAL differs from ACMPOUT when the
comparator transitions from warm-up to active.
Software should wait until the warm-up period is over before entering EM2 or EM3, otherwise no comparator interrupts will be detected.
EM1 can still be entered during warm-up. After the warm-up period is completed, interrupts will be detected in EM2 and EM3.
21.3.2 Response Time
There is a delay from when the input voltage changes polarity to when the output toggles. This delay is called the response time and
can be altered by increasing or decreasing the bias current to the comparator through the BIASPROG and FULLBIAS fields in the
ACMPn_CTRL register. The current and speed of the circuit increase as the values of FULLBIAS and BIASPROG are increased from
their minimum setting of FULLBIAS=0 BIASPROG=0b00000 to the maximum setting FULLBIAS=1 BIASPROG=0b11111 (maximum).
The setting of FULLBIAS has a greater affect on current and speed than the setting of BIASPROG. See the part datasheet for specific
current and response times related to the setting of these fields.
If FULLBIAS is set, to avoid glitches the highest hysteresis level should be used.

ACMP - Analog Comparator
21.3.3 Hysteresis
When the hysteresis level is set to a non-zero value, the digital output will not toggle until the positive input voltage is at a voltage equal
to the hysteresis level above or below the negative input voltage (see Figure 21.3 Hysteresis on page 690 ). This feature can be used
to avoid continual comparator output changes due to noise when the positive and negative inputs are nearly equal by requiring the input
difference to exceed the hysteresis threshold.
In the analog comparator, hysteresis can be configured to 8 different levels. Level 0 is no hysteresis. Hysteresis is configured through
the HYST field in ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0 and ACMPn_HYSTERESIS1 registers. The hysteresis value can be positive or negative.
The comparator will output a 1 if:
POSSEL - NEGSEL > HYST
There are two hysteresis registers, ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0 and ACMPn_HYSTERESIS1, as the ACMP supports asymmetric hysteresis. ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0 are the hysteresis values used when the comparator output is 0; ACMPn_HYSTERESIS1 are the values
used when the comparator output is 1. The user must set both registers to the same values if symmetric hysteresis is desired.
Along with the HYST field, the ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0/1 registers include the DIVVA and DIVVB fields. This allows the user to implement even larger hysteresis when comparing against VADIV or VBDIV, as the reference voltage can vary with the comparator output,
also.

ACMP - Analog Comparator
21.3.4 Input Selection
The POSSEL and NEGSEL fields in ACMPn_INPUTSEL control the input connections to the positive and negative inputs of the comparator. The user can select external GPIO pins on the chip, or select a number of internal chip voltages. Pins are selected by configuring
channels on APORT buses. Not all selectable channels are available on a given device, as different devices within a family may not
implement or bring out all of the I/O defined for that family.
The mapping for external I/O connections to ACMP0 and ACMP1 inputs is shown in Table 21.1 ACMP0 and ACMP1 Bus and Pin Mapping on page 691. Note that this table shows the mapping for an entire family of devices. Refer to the Pin Definition and the APORT
Client Map in the device datasheet for specific details on which I/O are available for each family and package configuration.

There are limitations on the POSSEL and NEGSEL connections than can be made. The user cannot select an X-bus for both POSSEL
and NEGSEL simultaneously, nor a Y-bus for both POSSEL and NEGSEL simultaneously. The second limitation is that when using the
feedback resistor only X-bus selections can be made for POSSEL. (The resistor only physically exists on the positive input of the comparator).
Refer to Table 21.1 ACMP0 and ACMP1 Bus and Pin Mapping on page 691 for specific I/O pin connection options. Note that the same
I/O pin may appear in multiple locations. Enumerations for the POSSEL and NEGSEL fields can be determmined by finding the desired
pin connection in the table and then combining the ACMP Port, polarity and channel identifier. For example, pin PF7 is listed as CH23
on APORT2, polarity X. The enumeration would be APORT2XCH23. PF7 is also available on CH23 of APORT1, polarity Y, so
APORT1YCH23 also selects PF7.
The user may also select from a number of internal voltages. VADIV and VBDIV are two dividable voltages. VADIV can be VDD divided,
or the user can choose to select inputs from a number of APORT buses. VBDIV consists of two dividable band-gap references of either
1.25V or 2.5V. Each of these voltages have dividers in the ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0/1 registers. The formula for the division of these
voltages is:
VADIV = VA × ( (DIVVA+1) / 64 )
Figure 21.3. VA Voltage Division

VBDIV = VB × ( (DIVVB+1) / 64 )
Figure 21.4. VB Voltage Division
Either VADIV and VBDIV can also be used as an input to a lower power reference: VLP. Which of the two is used is configured via the
VLPSEL field in ACMPn_INPUTSEL. If the user selects VLP as an input source, then VADIV or VBDIV cannot be used as the source
for the other input.
ACMP can be configured to operate with a selected level of accuracy depending on the setting of ACCURACY in ACMPn_CTRL. The
default is low-accuracy mode where ACMP operates with lower accuracy but consumes less current. When higher accuracy is needed
the user can set ACCURACY=1 at the cost of higher current consumption.
The ACMP block has dedicated inputs APORT0X and APORT0Y to facilitate direct connection of the ACMP to chip pins. Currently, no
part in this family uses these analog buses.

ACMP - Analog Comparator
21.3.5 Capacitive Sense Mode
The analog comparator includes specialized hardware for capacitive sensing of passive push buttons. Such buttons are traces on the
PCB laid out in a way that creates a parasitic capacitor between the button and the ground node. Because a human finger will have a
small intrinsic capacitance to ground, the capacitance of the button will increase when the button is touched. The capacitance is measured by including the capacitor in a free-running RC oscillator (see Figure 21.5 Capacitive Sensing Setup on page 694 ). The frequency produced will decrease when the button is touched compared to when it is not touched. By measuring the output frequency with
a timer (via the PRS), the change in capacitance can be detected.
The analog comparator contains a feedback loop including an optional internal resistor. This resistor is enabled by setting the CSRESEN bit in ACMPn_INPUTSEL. The resistance can be set to any of 8 values by configuring the CSRESSEL bits in ACMPn_INPUTSEL.
The source for VADIV is set to VDD by setting field VASEL=0 in ACMPn_INPUTSEL. The oscillation rails are defined by the VADIV
fields in registers ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0/1. The user should select VADIV as the source for NEGSEL, and APORTXCHc for POSSEL
in ACMPn_INPUTSEL. When enabled, the comparator output will oscillate between the rails defined by VADIV in ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0/1.

21.3.6 Interrupts and PRS Output
The analog comparator includes an edge triggered interrupt flag (EDGE in ACMPn_IF). If either IRISE and/or IFALL in ACMPn_CTRL is
set, the EDGE interrupt flag will be set on rising and/or falling edge of the comparator output respectively. An interrupt request will be
sent if the EDGE interrupt flag in ACMPn_IF is set and enabled through the EDGE bit in ACMPn_IEN. The edge interrupt can also be
used to wake up the device from EM3 Stop-EM1 Sleep.
The analog comparator includes the interrupt flag WARMUP in ACMPn_IF which is set when a warm-up sequence has finished. An
interrupt request will be sent if the WARMUP interrupt flag in ACMPn_IF is set and enabled through the WARMUP bit in ACMPn_IEN.
The analog comparator can also generate an interrupt if a bus conflict occurs. An interrupt request will be sent if the APORTCONFLICT
interrupt flag in ACMPn_IF is set and enabled through the APORTCONFLICT bit in ACMPn_IEN.
The synchronized comparator output is also available as a PRS output signal.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

ACMP - Analog Comparator
21.3.7 Output to GPIO
The output from the comparator and the capacitive sense output are available as alternate functions to the GPIO pins. Set the ACMPPEN bit in ACMPn_ROUTE to enable the output to a pin and the LOCATION bits to select the output location. The GPIO-pin must also
be set as output. The output to the GPIO can be inverted by setting the GPIOINV bit in ACMPn_CTRL.
21.3.8 APORT Conflicts
The analog comparator connects to chip pins through APORT buses. It is possible that another APORT client is using a given APORT
bus. To help debugging over-utilization of APORT resources the ACMP provides a number of status registers. The ACMPn_APORTREQ gives the user visibility into what APORT buses the ACMP is requesting given the setting of registers ACMPn_INPUTSEL and
ACMPn_CTRL. ACMPn_APORTCONFLICT indicates if any of the selections are in conflict, internally or externally.
For example, if the user selects APORT1XCH0 for POSSEL and APORT3XCH1 for NEGSEL, then bits APORT1XCONFLICT and
APORT3XCONFLICT would be 1 in register ACMPn_APORTCONFLICT, as it is illegal for POSSEL and NEGSEL to both select an Xbus simultaneously.
If the user wishes the ACMP to monitor the same pin as another APORT client within the system, the ACMP can be configured to not
attempt to control the switches on an APORT bus via the fields APORTXMASTERDIS, APORTYMASTERDIS, and APORTVMASTERDIS in ACMPn_CTRL. APORTXMASTERDIS and APORTYMASTERDIS control if the X or Y bus selected via POSSEL or NEGESEL is
mastered or not. APORTVMASTERDIS controls if either the X or Y bus selection of VASEL is mastered or not. When bus mastering is
disabled, it is the other APORT client that determines which pin is connected to the APORT bus.
21.3.9 Supply Voltage Monitoring
The ACMP can be used to monitor supply voltages. The ACMP can select which voltage it uses via PWRSEL in ACMPn_CTRL. This
voltage can be selected for VADIV using VASEL=0 in ACMPn_INPUTSEL and divided to a voltage with the band-gap reference range
using DIVVA in registers ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0/1. The band-gap reference voltage can also be scaled via DIVVB in registers
ACMPn_HYSTERESIS0/1 to provide a voltage higher or lower than the scaled VA voltage for comparison.

APORT Bus Master Disable for Bus selected by VASEL

Determines if the ACMP will request the X or Y APORT bus selected by VASEL. This bit allows multiple APORT connected
devices to monitor the same APORT bus simultaneously by allowing the ACMP to not master the selected bus. When 1,
the determination is expected to be from another peripheral, and the ACMP only passively looks at the bus. When 1, the
selection of channel for a selected bus is ignored (the bus is not), and is whatever selection the external device mastering
the bus has configured for the APORT bus.

22. ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

The ADC is used to convert analog signals into a
digital representation and features low-power, autonomous operation.
Why?

+
ADC
-

...0101110...

In many applications there is a need to measure analog signals and record them in a digital representation, without exhausting the energy source.
How?
A low power ADC samples up to 32 input channels
in a programmable sequence. With the help of PRS
and DMA, the ADC can operate without CPU intervention in EM2 and EM3, minimizing the number of
powered up resources. The ADC can further be duty-cycled to reduce the energy consumption.

22.1 Introduction
The ADC uses a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture, with a resolution of up to 12 bits at up to one million samples
per second (1 Msps). The integrated input multiplexer can select from external I/Os and 11 internal signals.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.1 Clock Selection
The ADC logic is partitioned into two clock domains: HFPERCLK and ADC_CLK. The HFPERCLK domain contains the register interface logic, APORT request logic and portions of FIFO read logic. The HFPERCLK is the default clock for the ADC peripheral. The rest
of the ADC is clocked by the ADC_CLK domain. The ADC_CLK is chosen by ADCCLKMODE bit in the ADCn_CTRL register.
The ADC_CLK is the main clock for the ADC engine. If the ADCCLKMODE is set to SYNC, the ADC_CLK is equal to the HFPERCLK
and the ADC operates in synchronous mode. If the ADCCLKMODE is set to ASYNC, the ADC_CLK is ASYNCCLK and the ADC operates in asynchronous mode. This distinction is important to understand as there are additional system restrictions and benefits to running the ADC in asynchronous mode detailed in 22.3.13 ASYNC ADC_CLK Usage Restrictions and Benefits.
The ADC has an internal clock prescaler, controlled by PRESC bits in ADCn_CTRL, which can divide the ADC_CLK by any factor between 1 and 128 to generate the conversion clock (adc_clk_sar) for the ADC. This adc_clk_sar is also used to generate acquisition
timing. Note that the maximum clock frequency for adc_clk_sar is 16 MHz. The ADC warmup time is determined by ADC_CLK and not
by adc_clk_sar.
ASYNCCLK is a clock source from the CMU which is considered asynchronous to HFPERCLK. The CMU_ADCCTRL register can be
programmed to request and use ASYNCCLK. It has multiple choices for its source, including AUXHFRCO, HFXO and HFSRCCLK, and
can optionally be inverted. If the chosen source for ASYNCCLK is not active at the time of request, the CMU enables the source oscillator upon receiving the request, and shuts down the oscillator when the ADC stops requesting the clock. Consult the CMU chapter for
details of how to program the clock sources for the ASYNCCLK and oscillator start-up time details.
Software may choose a clock request generation scheme by programming the ASYNCCLKEN and WARMMODE of the ADCn_CTRL
register. If the ASYNCCLKEN is set to ASNEEDED with WARMMODE set to NORMAL, the ADC requests ASYNCCLK only when a
conversion trigger is activated. The ASYNCCLK request is withdrawn after the conversion is complete. All other options keep the
ASYNCCLK request "ON" until software programs these fields otherwise or changes the ADCCLKMODE to SYNC.
For EM2 or EM3 operation of the ADC, the ADC_CLK must be configured for AUXHFRCO as this is the only available option during
EM2 or EM3. The ADC_CLK source should not be changed as the system enters or exits various energy modes, otherwise measurement inaccuracies will result.
22.3.2 Conversions
A conversion consists of two phases: acquisition and approximation. The input is sampled in the acquisition phase before it is converted
to digital representation during the approximation phase. The acquisition time can be configured independently for scan sequence and
single channel conversions (see 22.3.3 ADC Modes) by setting AT in ADCn_SINGLECTRL/ADCn_SCANCTRL. The acquisition times
can be set to 1 , 2, 3 or any integer power of 2 from 4 to 256 adc_clk_sar cycles.
Note:
For high impedance sources the acquisition time should be adjusted to allow enough time for the internal sample capacitor to fully
charge. The minimum acquisition time for sampling at 1 Msps and typical input loading is 187.5 ns.
The ADC uses one adc_clk_sar cycle per output bit in the approximation phase plus 1 extra adc_clk_sar cycle.
Tconv= (Tacq+ (N + 1) x Tadc_clk_sar) x OVSRSEL
Where Tacq is the acquisition time set by the AT bit field, N is the resolution (in bits), and OVSRSEL is the oversampling ratio according
to the OVSRSEL field in ADCn_CTRL when oversampling is enabled (see 22.3.8.6 Oversampling).

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.3 ADC Modes
The ADC contains two programmable modes: single channel mode and scan mode. Both modes have separate configuration registers
and a four-deep FIFO for conversion results. Both modes may be set up to run only once per trigger or to automatically repeat after
each operation. The scan mode has priority over the single channel mode. However by default, if scan sequence is running, a triggered
single channel conversion will be interleaved between two scan samples.
22.3.3.1 Single Channel Mode
Single channel mode can be used to convert a single channel either once per trigger or repetitively. The configuration of single channel
mode is done using the ADCn_SINGLECTRL and ADCn_SINGLECTRLX registers and the result FIFO can be read through the
ADCn_SINGLEDATA register. The DVL field of the ADCn_SINGLECTRLX controls the FIFO watermark crossing which sets the SINGLEDV bit in ADCn_STATUS high and is cleared when the data is read and the number of unread data samples falls below the DVL
threshold. The user can choose to throw out new samples or overwrite the old samples when the FIFO becomes full by programming
the FIFOOFACT field of the ADCn_SINGLECTRLX register. Single channel results can also be read through ADCn_SINGLEDATAP
without popping the FIFO, returning its latest element. The DIFF field in ADCn_SINGLECTRL selects whether differential or single
ended inputs are used and POSSEL and NEGSEL selects the input signal(s). The CMPEN bit in the ADCn_SINGLECTRL register enables the window compare function, and the latest converted data is compared against values programmed into the ADGT and ADLT
fields of the ADCn_CMPTHR register and generates SINGLECMP interrupts if enabled. The window compare function allows for compare triggering both within (if ADGT less than ADLT) or out of (if ADGT greater than ADLT) window.
22.3.3.2 Scan Mode
Scan mode is used to perform conversions across multiple channels, sweeping a set of selected inputs in a sequence. The configuration of scan mode is done in the ADCn_SCANCTRL and ADCn_SCANCTRLX registers. It has similar controls and data read mechanisms to single channel mode. There are two key differences between single channel mode and scan mode: the input sequence is
programmed differently, and it has additional information in the result to indicate the channel on which the conversion was acquired.
22.3.5 Input Selection explains how the input sequence is chosen. When the scan sequence is triggered, the ADC samples all inputs
that are included in the mask (ADCn_SCANMASK), starting at the lowest pin number. DIFF in ADCn_SCANCTRL selects whether single ended or differential inputs are used. The FIFO data is tagged with SCANINPUTID and can be read along with the scan data using

it. There is also a ADCn_SCANDATA register that contains results without the SCANINPUTID appended.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.4 Warm-up Time
After power-on, the ADC requires some time for internal bias currents and references to settle prior to starting a conversion. This time
period is called the warm-up time. Warm-up timing is performed by hardware. Software must program the number of ADC_CLK cycles
required to count at least 1 µs in the TIMEBASE field of the ADCn_CTRL register. TIMEBASE only affects the timing of the warm-up
sequence and is not dependent on adc_clk_sar. When enabling the ADC or changing references between samples, the ADC is automatically warmed up for 5 µs (5 times the period indicated by TIMEBASE).
Normally, the ADC will be warmed up only when samples are requested and is shut off when there are no more samples waiting. However, if lower latency is needed, configuring the WARMUPMODE field in ADCn_CTRL allows the ADC and/or reference to stay warm
between samples, reducing the warm-up time or eliminating it altogether. Figure 22.4 ADC Analog Power Consumption With Different
WARMUPMODE Settings on page 723 shows the effects on analog power consumption in scenarios using different WARMUPMODE
settings.
Only the reference for scan-mode can be kept warm. Thus, if the single-mode reference setting is different than scan-mode, the single
mode conversion will first warmup its reference for 5 µs before a conversion begins. If the ADC is used only in single conversion mode,
it is important to configure both the ADCn_SINGLECTRL, ADCn_SINGLECTRLX and ADCn_SCANCTRL, ADCn_SCANCTRLX registers with the same reference to avoid this extra warm-up time.
Various warmup modes are described here:
• NORMAL: This is the lowest power option for general-purpose use and low sampling rates (below 35 ksps). The ADC and references are shut off when there are no samples waiting. The ADC does not consume any power when it is shut down. A 5 µs warmup
time will be initiated prior to every conversion. Figure a in Figure 22.4 ADC Analog Power Consumption With Different WARMUPMODE Settings on page 723 shows this mode.
• KEEPINSTANDBY: This mode is suitable for infrequent sampling of lower impedance inputs, and is the lowest power option for sampling rates between about 35 and 125 ksps. It may also be useful for lower sampling rates where latency is important. The reference
selected for scan mode is kept warm, but the ADC is powered down. The ADC will initiate a 1 µs warmup period before a conversion
begins. Because the reference is kept warm, the ADC will consume a small amount of standby current when it is not converting.
Figure b in Figure 22.4 ADC Analog Power Consumption With Different WARMUPMODE Settings on page 723 shows this mode.
• KEEPINSLOWACC: This mode is useful for high-impedance inputs which are sampled infrequently. It is similar to KEEPINSTANDBY, but continuously tracks the input, keeping the input multiplexer connected to the APORT bus. This mode consumes little more
power than KEEPINSTANDBY mode (about 2uA extra) when a conversion is not in progress. This allows the user to avoid programming long acquisition time that would otherwise be necessary for high-impedance inputs when ADC wakes up to full power mode,
thereby reducing the total current consumption per conversion.
• KEEPADCWARM: This mode provides the lowest latency and allows for maximum sampling rates. The ADC and reference circuitry
remain powered on even when conversions are not in progress. Figure c in Figure 22.4 ADC Analog Power Consumption With Different WARMUPMODE Settings on page 723 shows this mode. This mode consumes the most power, but as soon as a trigger
event occurs, the acquisition and conversion begin with no warm-up time.
When KEEPADCWARM is chosen, ADC is termed as being in continuous operation. When any other warmup mode is chosen, ADC is
termed to be in duty-cycled operation.
When entering EM2 or EM3, if the ADC is not going to be used, it should be returned to an idle state and WARMUPMODE in
ADCn_CTRL written to 0. Refer to 22.3.15 ADC Programming Model for more information on placing the ADC in an idle state. If the
ADC is going to be used in these low energy modes, the user can use any of the WARMUPMODE settings, but should be mindful of the
power consumption that comes along with the different mode settings. For EM2 or EM3 operation, the ADC clock source must be configured to use AUXHFRCO.

22.3.5 Input Selection
The ADC samples and converts the analog voltage differential at its positive and negative voltage inputs. The input multiplexers of the
ADC can connect these inputs to one of several internal nodes (e.g., temperature sensor) or to external signals via analog ports
(APORT0, APORT1, APORT2, APORT3 or APORT4).
The analog ports APORT1, APORT2, APORT3, and APORT4 connect to external pins via analog buses (BUSAX, BUSAY, BUSBX,
etc.) which are shared among other analog peripherals on the device. APORT1 through APORT4 are each 32 channels wide with connections to two sub-buses: a 16-channel X bus and a 16-channel Y bus. In the ADC module, all X buses connect to the INP_MUX and
all Y buses connect to the INN_MUX as shown in Figure 22.5 APORT connection to the ADC on page 724. Connections to the X and
Y sub-buses alternate channels on the APORT. On APORT1 and APORT3, even-numbered channels connect to the X bus, and oddnumbered channels connect to the Y bus. On APORT2 and APORT4, even-numbered channels connect to the X bus and odd-numbered channels connect to the Y bus.
Unlike APORT1 through APORT4, APORT0 is not a shared resource. It consists of a 16-channel X bus and a 16-channel Y bus, each
with dedicated I/O pin connections. Note that APORT0 is not available on all device families.

For differential measurements, one input must be chosen from an X bus and the other from a Y bus. Choosing both inputs from an X
bus or both from a Y bus will generate a PROGERR interrupt (if enabled) of NEGSELCONF type. The PROGERR type can be checked
in the ADCn_STATUS register.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
Multiple peripherals may request the same shared system bus (BUSAX, BUSAY, BUSBX, etc.). When this happens, a conflict status is
generated and that bus is kept floating. If this happens with the ADC, the PROGERR field in ADCn_STATUS is set to BUSCONF, and
an interrupt may be generated (if enabled). When connecting dedicated I/Os through APORT0, all inputs are available to APORT0X
and APORT0Y and no bus conflict is possible. Refer to 22.3.5.3 APORT Conflicts for more information on identifying and resolving bus
conflicts.
Note: The internal inputs can only be sampled in single channel, single-ended mode. NEGSEL should be fixed to VSS for these conversions.

22.3.5.1 Configuring ADC Inputs in Single Channel Mode
In single channel mode, the ADCn_SINGLECTRL register provides the POSSEL and NEGSEL selection for positive and negative
channel selection of the ADC. The APORT Client Map provides external pin to internal bus channel mapping enumeration for a particular device. Software can also choose internal nodes for POSSEL.
For all single-ended conversions, VSS must be selected in NEGSEL.
Note that in both the POSSEL and NEGSEL fields, it is possible to choose inputs from both X and Y buses, even though X channels
are physically connected to the positive mux (INP_MUX) and Y channels are physically connected to the negative mux (INN_MUX). For
single-ended operation (DIFF = 0), if the positive input is chosen from a Y channel the ADC performs a negative single ended conversion and automatically inverts the result at the end, producing a positive result. For differential conversions (DIFF = 1), if a Y channel is
chosen for the positive input and an X channel is chosen for the negative input, the ADC result will be inverted to produce the correct
polarity.
Refer to Table 22.1 ADC0 Bus and Pin Mapping on page 725 for specific pin connection options. Note that the same I/O pin may appear in multiple locations. Enumerations for the POSSEL and NEGSEL fields can be determmined by finding the desired pin connection
in the table and then combining the ADC Port, polarity and channel identifier. For example, pin PF7 is listed as CH23 on APORT2,
polarity X. The enumeration would be APORT2XCH23. PF7 is also available on CH23 of APORT1, polarity Y, so APORT1YCH23 also
selects PF7.

22.3.5.2 Configuring ADC Inputs in Scan Mode
In scan mode, the ADC can sample and convert up to 32 external channels on each conversion trigger. Internal channels are not available in scan mode. The ADC's scanner logic automatically changes the input mux settings between conversions, eliminating the need
for firmware intervention.
The ADC scanner logic is controlled by a set of 32 logical channels called SCANINPUTIDs. The 32 SCANINPUTIDs are arranged in
four groups of 8 channels each. Each channel group can point to a predefined series of 8 sequential channels on any of the available
APORTs. The ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL register is used to configure which group of physical APORT channels each of the SCANINPUTID channel groups map to. For example, selecting APORT1CH16TOCH23 in the INPUT7TO0SEL field selects APORT1CH16 for
SCANINPUTID0, APORT1CH17 for SCANINPUTID1, APORT1CH18 for SCANINPUTID2, and so on.
The four SCANINPUTID groups are fully independent and may be selected from any APORT in any combination. It is possible also to
repeat the same selection in multiple groups. For example, the user may select APORT2CH0TOCH7 for all four of the SCANINPUTID
groups.
In many cases, the user application will not require all 32 channels of the scanner to be converted. Each of the scanner channels may
be individually enabled according to the needs of the system. The ADCn_SCANMASK register is used to enable and disable individual
SCANINPUTIDs. The bits in the ADCnSCANMASK register correspond one-to-one with the SCANINPUTID channel numbers. During a
scan operation, the ADC scanner logic will convert only the enabled SCANINPUTIDs, in order from lowest to highest.
In single-ended mode, all conversions performed by the ADC will be relative to VSS. For any enabled SCANINPUTID, the selected
APORT channel will be connected to the ADC with the opposite ADC input terminal connected to VSS. Note that the channel groups
selected in ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL point to a block of 8 channels on an APORT, which includes both X and Y channels. Depending on
the channels enabled by ADCn_SCANMASK, the ADC may perform conversions on the X or the Y bus associated with that APORT.
Figure 22.6 ADC Single-ended Scan Mode Example on page 727 shows an example of a single-ended scan configuration. In this
example, ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL has been configured to place APORT1CH16TO23 in the first, third, and fourth channel groups.
APORT4CH8TO15 has been placed in the second channel group. ADCn_SCANMASK selects six of these channels for inclusion in the
scan. When an ADC scan is initiated with this configuration, the ADC begins at SCANINPUTID0 and converts each enabled channel in
turn. This scan configuration results in a set of six single-ended ADC conversions: PF0, PF3, PA5, PA5, PF7, and PF4.

Figure 22.6. ADC Single-ended Scan Mode Example
In differential mode, the default operation of the ADC scanner is to perform a differential measurement between the selected APORT
channel and the next channel on that APORT. For example, if the enabled SCANINPUTID points to APORT1CH6, the ADC will perform
a differential conversion between APORT1CH6 and APORT1CH7.
There are two exceptions to this rule, listed in order of precedence:
1. When converting SCANINPUTID15, the differential conversion will be performed between the channel selected by SCANINPUTID15 and the channel selected by SCANINPUTID8.
2. When APORTnCH31 is the selected input, the differential conversion will be performed between APORTnCH31 and APORTnCH0.
Figure 22.7 ADC Differential Scan Mode Example on page 728 shows an example of a differential scan configuration. In this example,
ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL has been configured to place APORT1CH16TO23 in the first, third, and fourth channel groups.
APORT4CH8TO15 has been placed in the second channel group. ADCn_SCANMASK selects three channels pairs for inclusion in the
scan. When an ADC scan is initiated with this configuration, the ADC begins at SCANINPUTID0 and converts each enabled channel in
turn. This scan configuration results in a set of three differential ADC conversions: PF0-PF1, PF2-PF3, and PA4-PA5.

In certain applications it may be desirable to perform differential conversions on several channels against a common voltage. The
ADCn_SCANNEGSEL register allows eight of the SCANINPUTIDs to re-map the negative terminal of a differential conversion to a
common channel. In the first ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL group, the negative input for SCANINPUT 0, 2, 4, and 6 may be re-mapped to
any of the odd-numbered channels in that group (SCANINPUT 1, 3, 5, or 7). Likewise, in the second ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL group,
the negative input for SCANINPUT 9, 11, 13, and 15 may be re-mapped to any of the even-numbered channels in that group (SCANINPUT 8, 10, 12, or 14).

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.5.3 APORT Conflicts
The ADC shares common analog buses connected to its APORTs (1-4) with other analog peripherals (see Table 22.1 ADC0 Bus and
Pin Mapping on page 725). As the ADC performs single or scan conversions, it requests the shared buses and sends selections for the
control switches to connect the desired I/O pins. If another analog peripheral requests the same shared bus at the same time, there will
be a collision and none of the peripherals will be granted control of that bus.
To help debug over-utilization of APORT resources, the ADC hardware provides status information in local registers. The ADCn_APORTREQ register gives the user visibility into which APORT(s) the ADC is requesting given the setting of the input selection registers.
ADCn_APORTCONFLICT reports any conflicts that occur. If PROGERR in ADCn_IEN is set, any conflict generates an interrupt. The
PROGERR field in the ADCn_STATUS register indicates whether the programming error happened as a result of an APORT bus conflict (BUSCONF) or from a negative-input selection conflict (NEGSELCONF). If the PROGERR interrupt occurred due to a negative selection conflict, then the interrupt can be cleared by software only after correcting the conflict. If a software clear is attempted without
correcting the configuration, the interrupt will be cleared for one clock cycle but then it will trigger again as the invalid configuration still
persists.
Note: The ADC requests shared bus connections as soon as that bus is selected in the input select registers, even if the ADC is not
performing any conversions. This means that by using the APORT request, the ADC will acquire the associated shared analog bus,
preventing other peripherals from using it. The bus will be released only when the input select registers are changed.
It is possible for the ADC to passively monitor shared bus signals without controlling the switches and creating bus conflicts. This can
be done by setting the ADCn_APORTMASTERDIS register. When ADCn_APORTMASTERDIS is used, channel selection defers to the
peripheral acting as the bus master for that shared bus, and no bus conflict will occur. The ADC will connect its input to the shared bus,
but the specific channel will be controlled by the peripheral designated as the bus master.
22.3.6 Reference Selection and Input Range Definition
The full scale voltage (VFS) of the ADC is defined as the full input range, from the lowest possible input voltage to the highest. For
single-ended conversions, the input range on the selected positive input is from 0 to VFS. For differential conversions, the input to the
converter is the difference between the positive and negative input selections. This can range from -VFS/2 to +VFS/2.
VFS for the converter is determined by a combination of the selected voltage reference (VREF) and programmable divider circuits on
the ADC input and voltage reference paths. Users have full control over the VREF and divider selections, offering a very flexible and
wide selection of VFS values. In most applications however, it is not necessary to adjust VFS beyond a set of common pre-defined
choices. For the simplest VFS configuration, refer to 22.3.6.1 Basic Full-Scale Voltage Configuration. If the application requires a VFS
configuration not available in the pre-defined choices, 22.3.6.2 Advanced Full-Scale Voltage Configuration covers additional configuration options.
22.3.6.1 Basic Full-Scale Voltage Configuration
Basic configuration of the VFS (full scale voltage) for the converter is done by programming the REF bitfield in ADCn_SINGLECTRL
(for single channel mode) or ADCn_SCANCTRL (for scan mode) to any of the pre-defined options. The list of available pre-defined VFS
options is:
• VFS = 1.25 V using internal VBGR as the reference source
• VFS = 2.5 V using internal VBGR as the reference source
• VFS = AVDD using AVDD as the reference source (AVDD ≤ 3.6 V)
• VFS = 5 V using internal VBGR as the reference source
• VFS = ADCn_EXTP external pin as a single-ended reference source (1.2 V - 3.6 V)
• VFS = ADCn_EXTP - ADCn_EXTN external pins as a differential reference source. ( 1.2 V - 3.6 V difference)
• VFS = 2 x AVDD using AVDD as the reference source (AVDD ≤ 3.6 V)
The maximum and minimum input voltage which the ADC can recognize at any external pin is limited to the supply voltages. If VFS is
configured to be larger than the supply range, the full ADC range will not be available. For example, with a 3.3 V supply and VFS configured to 5 V, the input voltage for single-ended conversions will be limited to 0 to 3.3 V, though the effective VFS is still 5 V.
The ADC uses a chip-level bias circuit to provide bias current for its operation. For highest accuracy when using a VBGR-derived internal bandgap reference source, GPBIASACC in ADCn_BIASPROG should be cleared to 0. This will allow the ADC to enable high-accuracy mode from the bias circuitry during conversions. When AVDD or an external pin reference option is used, software should set
GPBIASACC in ADCn_BIASPROG to 1 to conserve energy.
If the pre-defined VFS options do not suit the particular application, refer to 22.3.6.2 Advanced Full-Scale Voltage Configuration for
more advanced VFS options.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.6.2 Advanced Full-Scale Voltage Configuration
For most applications, the pre-defined VFS options described in 22.3.6.1 Basic Full-Scale Voltage Configuration are suitable. Advanced
VFS configurations are also possible by programming the REF bitfield in ADCn_SINGLECTRL or ADCn_SCANCTRL to the CONF option. Programming the REF bitfield to CONF allows the user to select the specific VREF source and adjust the programmable input and
reference divider options directly.
The general procedure for programming an advanced VFS configuration is as follows:
1. Select the voltage reference source using VREFSEL.
2. Configure VREFATTFIX and VREFATT so that the reference voltage at the ADC is between 0.7 and 1.05 V.
3. Configure VINATT to achieve the desired full-scale voltage.
The VREFSEL field in ADCn_SINGLECTRLX or ADCn_SCANCTRLX selects the voltage reference source. The ADC can choose from
the following voltage reference (VREF) sources:
• VBGR: An internal 0.83 V bandgap reference voltage. This is the most precise internal reference source available.
• VDDXWATT: An attenuated version of the AVDD supply voltage. The attenuation factor is determined by the VREFATTFIX and/or
VREFATT bit fields.
• VREFPWATT: An external reference source applied to the ADCn_EXTP pin, and attenuated by the attenuation factor (determined by
the VREFATTFIX and/or VREFATT bit fields). This is the appropriate choice for external reference inputs greater than 1.05 V.
• VREFP: An external reference source applied to the ADCn_EXTP pin, without any attenuation. This is the appropriate choice for
external reference inputs between 0.7 V and 1.05 V.
• VENTROPY: A very low internal reference voltage (approx. 0.1 V). This option is intended to be used only with the ADC inputs tied
internally to VSS, for generating random noise at the ADC output.
• VREFPNWATT: A differential version of VREFPWATT, with the reference source applied to the ADCn_EXTP and ADCn_EXTN pins
and attenuated. This is the appropriate choice where a differential reference of greater than 1.05 V is required.
• VREFPN: A differential version of VREFP, with the reference source applied to the ADCn_EXTP and ADCn_EXTN pins and no attenuation. This is the appropriate choice where a differential reference of between 0.7 V and 1.05 V is required.
• VBGRLOW: An internal 0.78 V bandgap reference voltage.
The ADC reference voltage should be attenuated to a lower voltage when using AVDD or the external reference source. A simple method for a wide range of reference sources is to set VREFATTFIX to 1. The VREF attenuation factor (ATTVREF) can then be selected
between 1/3 (when VREFATT is greater than 0), and 1/4 (when VREFATT is equal to 0). For reference sources between 1.2 V and 3.6
V, ATTVREF = 1/3 is the best choice. ATTVREF = 1/4 can be used with references from 1.6 V to 3.8 V, with slight performance degradation.
Finer granularity on ATTVREF is possible as well, by clearing VREFATTFIX to 0, and setting the VREFATT field. For optimal performance with VREFATTFIX = 0, the attenuated ADC reference input should be limited to between 0.7 V and 1.05 V. When VREFATTFIX is
cleared to 0, ATTVREF is set according to the equation:
ATTVREF = (VREFATT + 6) / 24 for VREFATT < 13, and (VREFATT - 3) / 12 for VREFATT ≥ 13
Figure 22.9. ATTVREF: VREF Attenuation Factor
The ADC input also includes a programmable attenuator. The VIN attenuator is used to widen the available input range of the ADC
beyond the reference source. The VIN attenuation factor (ATTVIN) is determined by the VINATT field according to the equation:
ATTVIN = VINATT / 12 for VINATT ≥ 3 (settings 0, 1, and 2 are not allowable values for VINATT)
Figure 22.10. ATTVIN: VIN Attenuation Factor
VFS can be calculated by the formula given below for any given VREF source, VREF attenuation, and VIN attenuation:
VFS = 2 × VREF × ATTVREF / ATTVIN
VREF is selected in the VREFSEL bitfield, and
ATTVREF is the VREF attenuation factor, determined by VREFATT or VREFATTFIX
ATTVIN is the VIN attenuation factor, determined by VINATT

The maximum and minimum input voltage which the ADC can recognize at any external pin is limited to the supply voltages. If VFS is
configured to be larger than the supply range, the full ADC range will not be available. For example, with a 3.3 V supply and VFS configured to 5 V, the input voltage for single-ended conversions will be limited to 0 to 3.3 V, though the effective VFS is still 5 V.

22.3.7 Programming of Bias Current

The ADC uses a chip-level bias generator to provide bias current for its operation. The ADC's internal bias can be scaled by ADCBIASPROG field of the ADCn_BIASPROG register. At lower conversion speeds, the ADCBIASPROG can be used to lower active power.
Some commonly used settings are given in the ADCBIASPROG register description. For proper operation, the ADC conversion speed
must be scaled accordingly. The scale factor is calculated as:
Bias scale factor = (1- ADCBIASPROG[2:0]/8) / (1+3×ADCBIASPROG[3])
Figure 22.12. Bias scale factor
The bias programming register also includes the VFAULTCLR bit field. If VREFOF interrupt is enabled and it is triggered, then the user
needs to set this bit in the ISR before clearing the interrupt flag. This bit then needs to be reset after the interrupt flag is cleared in order
to enable the VREFOV flag to trigger on the next VREFOV condition.
The bias current settings should only be changed while the ADC is disabled (i.e. in NORMAL warm-up mode and no conversion in
progress).
22.3.8 Feature Set
The following sections explain different ADC features.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.8.1 Conversion Tailgating
Scan conversions have priority over single channel conversions. This means that if scan and single triggers are received simultaneously, or even if the scan is received later when ADC is being warmed up for performing a single conversion, the scan conversion will have
priority and will be done before the single conversion. However, a scan trigger will not interrupt in the middle of a single conversion, i.e.,
if the single conversion is in the acquisition or approximation phase, then the scan will have to wait for the single conversion to complete. If a scan sequence is triggered by a timer on a periodic basis, single channel conversion that started just before a scan trigger
can delay the start of the scan sequence, thus causing jitter in sample rate. To solve this, conversion tailgating can be chosen by setting
TAILGATE in ADCn_CTRL. When this bit is set, any triggered single channels will wait for the next scan sequence to finish before activating (see Figure 22.13 ADC Conversion Tailgating on page 732). The single channel will then follow immediately after the scan
sequence. In this way, the scan sequence will always start immediately when triggered, provided that the period between the scan triggers is big enough to allow the single sample conversion that was triggered to finish before the next scan trigger arrives. Note that if
tailgating is set and a single channel conversion is triggered, it will indefinitely wait for a scan conversion before starting the single channel conversion.

22.3.8.2 Repetitive Mode
Both single channel and scan mode can be run as a one shot conversion or in repetitive mode. The REP bitfield in ADCn_SINGLECTRL/ADCn_SCANCTRL registers can be used to activate the repetitive mode for single and scan respectively. In order to achieve
the maximum sampling rate of 1 Msps, repetitive mode should be used.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.8.3 Conversion Trigger
The conversion modes can be activated by writing a 1 to the SINGLESTART or SCANSTART bit in the ADCn_CMD register. The conversions can be stopped by writing a 1 to the SINGLESTOP or SCANSTOP bit in the ADCn_CMD register. A START command will
have priority over a STOP command. When the ADC is stopped in the middle of a conversion, the result buffer is cleared (the FIFO
contents for any prior conversions are still intact). Every time a STOP command is issued, the user should wait for the corresponding
status flag (SINGLEACT/SCANACT) to go low and then either read all the data in the FIFO or send the corresponding FIFOCLEAR
command. The SINGLEACT and SCANACT bits in ADCn_STATUS are set high when the modes are actively converting or have pending conversions.
It is also possible to trigger conversions from PRS signals. The PRS is treated as an asynchronous trigger. Setting PRSEN in
ADCn_SINGLECTRL/ADCn_SCANCTRL enables triggering from PRS input. Which PRS channel to listen to is defined by PRSSEL in
ADCn_SINGLECTRLX/ADCn_SCANCTRLX. When PRS trigger is selected, it is still possible to trigger a conversion from software.
Please refer to the PRS chapter for more information on how to set up the PRS channels. When the conversions are triggered using the
ADCn_CMD register, then the SINGLEACT and SCANACT bits in the ADCn_STATUS are set as soon as the START command is written to the register. When the conversion is triggered using PRS, it takes some cycles from the time PRS trigger is received until the
SINGLEACT and SCANACT bits are set due to the synchronization requirement. If SINGLEACT is already high then sending a new
START command or a new PRS trigger for a single conversion will not have any impact as ADC already has a single conversion ongoing or a single conversion pending (single conversion can be pending if ADC is busy running a scan sequence). The same rules
apply for SCANACT and SCAN START and PRS triggers. When software issues a SINGLE/SCAN STOP command, it must wait until
SINGLEACT/ SCANACT flag goes low before issuing a new START.
The PRS may trigger the ADC in two possible ways, configured by PRSMODE in ADCn_SINGLECTRLX/ADCn_SCANCTRLX. In
PULSED mode, a PRS pulse triggers the ADC to start the ADC_CLK (if not already enabled), warm up (if not already warm), start the
acquisition period, and perform the conversion. This is identical to issuing a START command from software. In this mode, the input
sampling finishes at the end of the acquisition period (AT).
If the ADC_CLK and the source of the trigger (START command or PRS pulse) are not synchronous, the frequency of the input sampling (FS), will experience a 11/2 to 21/2 ADC_CLK cycle jitter due to synchronization requirements.
To precisely control the sample frequency, the PRSMODE can be set to TIMED mode. In this mode, a long PRS pulse is expected to
trigger the ADC and its negative edge directly finishes input sampling and starts the approximation phase, giving precise sampling frequency management. The restriction is that the PRS pulse has to be long enough to start the ADC_CLK (if not already enabled), and
finish the acquisition period based on the AT field in ADCn_SINGLECTRL/ADCn_SCANCTRL. The PRS pulse needs to be high when
AT event finishes. If it is not high when AT finishes, then it is ignored and input sampling finishes after AT event has ended (a two cycle
latency is added to the conversion in this scenario).
If the PRS pulse is too long (e.g., FS = 32kHz), the analog ADC start can be delayed to save power. The CONVSTARTDELAY along
with its EN in the ADCn_SINGLECTRLX or ADCn_SCANCTRLx can be programmed to implement a 0 to 8 microseconds delay. The
microsecond tick is counted by TIMEBASE with ADC_CLK similar to warmup case. This saves power as the ADC is not enabled until
the last possible microsecond before the fall edge of the PRS arrives to open the sampling switch and to start the approximation phase.
Figure 22.14 ADC PRS Timed mode with ASNEEDED ADC_CLK request on page 733) shows PRS Timed mode triggering with
CONVSTARTDELAY and ASNEEDED ADC_CLK request. See that power is saved by both delaying the ADC EN and by requesting the
ADC_CLK only during ADC operation. This is especially useful in saving power when running the ADC in EM2 or EM3 power mode with
low sampling frequency.

Figure 22.14. ADC PRS Timed mode with ASNEEDED ADC_CLK request
When a PRS pulse is received, if the ADC_CLK is not running (ASNEEDED mode), then the ADC requests the clock by setting
clkreq_adc_async high. If the chosen clock source (HFXO/ HFSRCCLK/ AUXHFRCO) is already running, then it takes 5 ADC_CLK
cycles after the clock request is asserted for the ADC_CLK to start. HFXO and HFSRCCLK (if chosen as ADC clock source) need to be

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
already running before ADC sends out the clock request. If AUXHFRCO is chosen as the ADC clock source, and it is not already running, then the CMU automatically turns it on when the ADC sends a clock request. In such a case, it takes (7 ADC_CLK cycles + the
oscillator startup time) for the ADC_CLK to start. The oscillator startup time can be found in the device datasheet.
When triggering repeat mode using PRS and then stopping the triggered mode using STOP command, ensure that the PRS pulse used
to generate the repeat mode has gone low by the time the STOP command is issued. If the PRS pulse continues to stay high after ADC
has stopped the ongoing conversion, then it will be picked as a new trigger to start a new conversion.
Note:
The conversion settings should not be changed while the ADC is running. Doing so may lead to unpredictable behavior.
The adc_clk_sar phase is always reset by a conversion trigger as long as a conversion is not in progress. This gives predictable latency
from the time of the trigger to the time the conversion starts, regardless of when in the trigger occurs.
Software should not trigger conversions if PRS Timed mode is selected and PRSEN is set to 1 in the ADCn_SINGLECTRL/
ADCn_SCANCTRL register.
If the PRS Timed mode is being used, the acquisition time (AT) must be set greater than 0.

22.3.8.5 Resolution
The ADC performs 12-bit conversions by default. However, if full 12-bit resolution is not needed, it is possible to speed up the conversion by selecting a lower resolution (6 or 8 bits). For more information on the accuracy of the ADC, the reader is referred to the electrical characteristics section for the device.
22.3.8.6 Oversampling
To achieve higher accuracy, hardware oversampling can be enabled individually for each mode (Set RES in ADCn_SINGLECTRL/
ADCn_SCANCTRL to 0x3). The oversampling rate (OVSRSEL in ADCn_CTRL) can be set to any integer power of 2 from 2 to 4096
and the configuration is shared between the scan and single channel mode (OVSRSEL field in ADCn_CTRL).
With oversampling, each input is sampled at 12-bits of resolution a number of times (given by OVSRSEL), and the results are filtered by
a first order accumulate and dump filter to form the end result. The data presented in the ADCn_SINGLEDATA and ADCn_SCANDATA
registers are the direct contents of the accumulation register (sum of samples). However, if the oversampling ratio is set higher than
16x, the accumulated results are shifted to fit the MSB in bit 15 as shown in Table 22.5 Oversampling Result Shifting and Resolution on
page 735.

22.3.8.8 Channel Connection
The inputs are connected to the analog ADC at the beginning of the acquisition phase and are disconnected at the end of the acquisition phase. The time when the APORT switches are closed (for the next input to be converted) can be controlled by the CHCONMODE
bitfield in the ADCn_CTRL register. By default, this field is set to the MAXSETTLE option. For MAXSETTLE, APORT switches are
closed on the next input as soon as the acquisition phase for the current conversion is complete. This means that the APORT switches
are closed approximately 12 adc_clk_sar cycles (assuming 12 bit resolution) before the acquisition phase of the current conversion
starts, giving APORT switches maximum time to settle. The time for which APORT switches should be closed before the acquisition
phase starts, should be the same for all inputs in order to get consistent results. This means that if the ADC is warmed up with CHCONREFWARMIDLE set to 0 (scan reference warmed up and the APORT switches for the first scan channel closed) and a single trigger
comes in, the single conversion will have to wait 12 adc_clk_sar cycles before it can start (even if single is using the same reference as
scan). In this case, it might be more suitable to switch to the MAXRESP option in the CHCONMODE bitfield. In MAXRESP, the APORT
switches for the upcoming conversion are closed just before the acquisition phase starts. This gives less settling time to the APORT
switches but removes the extra waiting time before a conversion can start (which could be the case with MAXSETTLE as discussed
above).
22.3.8.9 Temperature Measurement
The ADC includes an internal temperature sensor. This sensor is measured during production test and the temperature readout from
the ADC at production temperature, ADC0CAL3_TEMPREAD1V25, is given in the Device Information (DI) page. The production temperature, CAL_TEMP, is also given in this page. The temperature sensor slope, V_TS_SLOPE (mV/degree Celsius), for the sensor is
found in the data sheet for the device. Using the 1.25V VFS option and 12-bit resolution, the temperature can be calculated according
to the following formula (VFS in the formula is 1250 mV) :
TCELSIUS = CAL_TEMP - (ADC0CAL3_TEMPREAD1V25 - ADC_result) × VFS / (4096× V_TS_SLOPE)
Figure 22.15. ADC Temperature Measurement
When reading the temperature sensor, the GPBIASACC bit in ADCn_BIASPROG should be set to 1 to keep the bias in LOWACC
mode.
Note: The minimum acquisition time for the temperature reference is found in the electrical characteristics for the device. If using the
1.25V reference, extra acquisition time is required. In this case the AT field of ADCn_SINGLECTRL or ADCn_SCANCTRL should be
set to a value of 9 or higher.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.8.10 ADC as a Random Number Generator
The ADC can be used as a random number generator. This is done by:
1. Choose the REF in the ADCn_SINGLECTRL as CONF, setting the VREFSEL in the ADCn_SINGLECTRLX as VENTROPY and
VINATT in the same register to its maximum value of 15.
2. Set DIFF to 1 and RES to 0 in the ADCn_SINGLECTRL register.
3. Trigger a single channel conversion and then read ADCn_SINGLEDATA register when the conversion finishes.
The LSB[2:0] of each sample will be a random number. In this mode, the POSSEL or NEGSEL in ADCn_SINGLECTRL can be connected to VSS or any other noisy input.
22.3.9 Interrupts, PRS Output
The single and scan modes have separate SINGLE and SCAN interrupt flags indicating whether corresponding FIFO contains DVL # of
valid conversion data. Corresponding interrupt enable bit has to be set in ADCn_IEN in order to generate interrupts. For these interrupts, there is no software clear mechanism by writing to ADCn_IFC. The user needs to read enough data from the interrupted FIFO to
ensure it contains less than DVL # of elements. The ADCn_SINGLEFIFOCOUNT/ADCn_SCANFIFOCOUNT can provide number of
valid elements remaining in corresponding FIFO. The FIFO can also be cleared by ADCn_SINGLEFIFOCLEAR/ADCn_SCANFIFOCLEAR, but any existing data will be lost by this operation.
In addition to the SINGLE and SCAN interrupt flags, there is separate scan and single channel result overflow interrupt flag which signals that a result from a scan or single channel FIFO has been overwritten before being read. There is also separate scan and single
channel result underflow interrupt flag which signals that a FIFO read was issued when the FIFO was empty.
There is separate scan and single compare interrupt flag which signals a compare match with latest sample if the CMPEN in
ADCn_SINGLECTRL/ADCn_SCANCTRL is enabled.
ADC has two separate PRS outputs, one for single channel and one for scan sequence. A finished conversion results in a one
ADC_CLK cycle pulse, which is output to the Peripheral Reflex System (PRS). Note that the PRS pulse for scan is generated once after
every channel conversion in the scan sequence.
22.3.10 DMA Request
The ADC has two DMA request lines, SINGLEREQ and SCANREQ, which are set when a single or scan FIFO receives DVL# of samples. The requests are cleared when the corresponding single or scan result register is read and corresponding FIFO count reaches
lower than DVL. It also has two additional DMA Single request lines, SINGLESREQ and SCANSREQ, that are set when the corresponding FIFO is not empty.
22.3.11 Calibration
The ADC supports offset and gain calibration to correct errors due to process and temperature variations. This must be done individually for each reference used. For each reference, it needs to be repeated for single-ended, negative single-ended (see 22.3.5 Input Selection for details) and differential measurement. The ADC calibration (ADCn_CAL) register contains register fields for calibrating offset
and gain for both single and scan mode. The gain and offset calibration are done in single channel mode, but the resulting calibration
values can be used for both single and scan mode.
Gain and offset for various references and modes are calibrated during production and the calibration values for these can be found in
the Device Information page. During reset, the gain and offset calibration registers are loaded with the production calibration values for
the 1V25 reference. Others can be loaded as needed or the user can perform calibration on the fly using the particular reference and
mode to be used and write the result in the ADCn_CAL before starting the ADC conversion with them.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.11.1 Offset Calibration
Offset calibration must be performed prior to gain calibration. Follow these steps for the offset calibration in single mode:
1. Select the desired full scale configuration by setting the REF bit field of the ADCn_SINGLECTRL register.
2. Set the AT bit field of the ADCn_SINGLECTRL register to 16CYCLES.
3. Set the POSSEL and NEGSEL of the ADCn_SINGLECTRL register to VSS, and set the DIFF to 1 for enabling differential input if
calibrating for DIFF measurement. During calibration, the ADC samples represent the code coming out of the analog. Thus, since
the input voltage is 0, the expected ADC output is 0b100000000000 in differential mode, 0b000000000000 in single-ended mode
and 0b111111111111 in negative single-ended mode.
4. A binary search is used to find the offset calibration value. Set the CALEN to 1, and OFFSETINVMODE to 1 (if calibrating for negative single-ended conversion) in the ADCn_CAL register. If user is performing negative single-ended calibration, the SINGLEOFFSETINV provides the offset else SINGLEOFFSET bit provides the offset (for both single-ended and differential offset calibration).
Start with 0b0000 (or 0b1111 if doing calibration for differential mode) in SINGLEOFFSET or with 0b1000 in SINGLEOFFSETINV (if
calibrating for negative single-ended conversion). Set the SINGLESTART bit in the ADCn_CMD register to perform a 12-bit
conversion and read the ADCn_SINGLEDATA register. The offset is (ADCn_SINGLEDATA - expected ADC output). Calculate this
and write [3:0] of the result into SINGLEOFFSET or SCANOFFSETINV (if doing negative single-ended conversion). The user repeats till ADCn_SINGLEDATA matches expected ADC output. The ADC has a 8LSB built in negative offset to allow for negative
offset correction. So, with default offset value, which corrects for the negative offset, the converted ADCn_SINGLEDATA would
match expected ADC output if there were no offset. To get better noise immunity, the sampling phase can be repeated with Oversampling enabled. The result of the binary search is written to the SINGLEOFFSET (or SINGLEOFFSETINV) field of the
ADCn_CAL register.
22.3.11.2 Gain Calibration
Offset calibration must be performed prior to gain calibration. The Gain Calibration is done in the following manner:
1. Select an external ADC channel for single channel conversion (a differential channel can also be used).
2. Apply an external voltage on the selected ADC input channel. This voltage should correspond to the top of the ADC input range for
the selected reference.
3. Set SINGLEGAIN[6:0] to 64 in the ADCn_CAL and measure gain, repeat gain calibration walking the 1 in SINGLEGAIN[6] to SINGLEGAIN[0] till sampled ADCn_SINGLEDATA matches expected value. This is done by setting CALEN in ADCn_CAL set to 1 and
performing single channel, reading in the raw ADC code from the ADCn_SINGLEDATA and comparing it with expected code, i.e.
0b111111111111 for single-ended or differential conversion, and 0b000000000000 for negative single-ended conversion. The target
value is ideally the top of the ADC input range, but it is recommended to use a value a couple of LSBs below in order to avoid
overshooting. The result of the binary search is written to the SINGLEGAIN field of the ADCn_CAL register.
For the VDD reference and external reference, there is no hardware gain calibration. Calibration can be done by software after taking a
sample.

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.12 EM2 or EM3 Operation
The ADC can operate in EM2 or EM3 mode. For EM2 or EM3 operation the ADC_CLK must be selected as AUXHFRCO. The section
22.3.1 Clock Selection describes how to choose AUXHFRCO as the ADC_CLK. The AUXHFRCO can be kept on for as long as sample
conversion is needed or it can be requested by trigger event and after the conversion is done, the AUXHFRCO can be shut down. The
second option saves power at the expense of the delay to start the AUXHFRCO oscillator. All the trigger modes are available in EM2 or
EM3 as well.
While in EM2 or EM3, the ADC can wake the system to EM0 on enabled interrupts, (i.e., compare interrupt or SCAN or SINGLE interrupt indicating the corresponding FIFO has reached the DVL watermark). The ADC can also work with the DMA so that the system
does not have to wake up to consume data. This can happen if the SCAN or SINGLE interrupt is disabled and the SINGLEDMAWU or
SCANDMAWU in the ADCn_CTRL is set. The DMA will be triggered by the ADC when DVL samples become available in the corresponding FIFO. The DMA will then pop all the elements of the corresponding FIFO and put the system back into the low power state. A
system-level wake up will occur upon the DMA done interrupt. Note that other enabled ADC interrupts can still wake up the system
when operating with the DMA. For example, the user can configure the window compare function to trip when the result reaches a certain threshold while gathering ADC data in EM2 or EM3.
The ADC works with the EMU to wake up the system or the DMA. It takes 2us from the time the ADC request a wakeup to start of the
peripheral clocks. In this ASYNC mode of ADC_CLK, it takes 6 HFPERCLK cycles to read a single entry from the single or scan FIFO.
So, with a 20MHz HFPERCLK, it takes about 4us per DMA wakeup to empty a full FIFO (4 entries). This restricts the sampling rate to
no more than 400 ksps in EM2 or EM3 in order to avoid FIFO overflows.
The AUXHFRCO power can be reduced by reducing the clock speed, and the user may adjust the ADCBIASPROG field in the
ADCn_BIASPROG register to reduce active power of the ADC during the conversions, thus reducing power even more in EM2/EM3.
Please refer to the data sheet for relevant power consumption numbers.
If the ADC is not to be used in EM2 or EM3, then the user should ensure that the ADC is not busy before going to the low power mode.
22.3.15 ADC Programming Model explains how to ensure the ADC is not busy. If the chip enters EM2 or EM3 when ADC is busy without using AUXHFRCO, then the ADC clock will stop but the ADC will stay on, resulting in higher supply current.
22.3.13 ASYNC ADC_CLK Usage Restrictions and Benefits
When the ADC_CLK is chosen to come from ASYNCCLK, (ADCCLKMODE is set to ASYNC), the ADC_CLK and the ADC peripheral
clock are considered asynchronous and this adds some restrictions:
• Due to a synchronization delay, accessing the following registers takes extra time (up to additional 7 HFPERCLK cycles):
ADCn_SINGLEDATA, ADCn_SCANDATA, ADCn_SINGLEDATAP, ADCn_SCANDATAP, ADCn_SCANDATAX, ADCn_SCANDATAXP, ADCn_SINGLEFIFOCOUNT, ADCn_SCANFIFOCOUNT, ADCn_SINGLEFIFOCLEAR, ADCn_SCANFIFOCLEAR.
• The safe time to change the ADCn_SINGLECTRL, ADCn_SINGLECTRLX, ADCn_SCANCTRL, ADCn_SCANCTRLx, ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL, ADCn_SCANNEGSEL or ADCn_SCANMASK register is when SINGLEACT/SCANACT in the ADCn_STATUS is 0
with no pending trigger event. The user can enforce this by writing the SINGLESTOP or SCANSTOP in the ADCn_CMD register and
ensuring no trigger event can come before modifying the registers.
• When the ADC needs to run in EM2 or EM3, only AUXHFRCO can provide the ADC_CLK to the ADC. Thus the user needs to set
ASYNC mode of ADCCLKMODE and setup the CMU to provide the AUXHFRCO clock as ASYNCCLK.
• If the ADC needs to run on a particular adc_clk_sar frequency to achieve a sample rate and the HFPERCLK is not a proper multiple
for such clock frequency, a higher frequency system clock, HFRCO, can be chosen to be ADC_CLK using ASYNC mode. This allows HFPERCLK to be set to an optimum value from a system view point.
• ASYNC mode can also help with digital noise mitigation as this clock is asynchronous (not balanced) with the system clock. Moreover, the user can use the invert option to invert the source of ASYNCCLK helping in noise mitigation further.
• With ASNEEDED setting for ASYNCCLK request, the ADC_CLK power can be reduced.
22.3.14 Window Compare Function
The ADC supports a window compare function on both the latest single and scan outputs. The compare thresholds, ADGT and ADLT,
are defined in the ADCn_CMPTHR register. These are 16-bit values and their format must match the type of conversion (single-ended
or differential) the user is trying to compare with. For example, a 12-bit differential conversion is sign extended to 16 bits while a 12-bit
single-ended conversion result would get zero padded to 16-bit result before comparing with ADGT and ADLT. If over-sampling is enabled, the conversion result could grow to 16-bits. There is a single set of ADLT and ADGT threshold for both single and scan compare.
The user can however enable single or scan compare logic individually by enabling CMPEN in ADCn_SINGLECTRL or
ADCn_SCANCTRL register.
The user can perform comparison both within or outside of the window defined by the ADGT and ADLT. If the ADLT is greater than
ADGT, the ADC compares if the current sample is within the window. Otherwise, the ADC compares if the current sample is outside of
the window.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
22.3.15 ADC Programming Model
The ADC configuration registers are considered static and can only be updated when (1) ADC is in SYNC mode and (2) ADC is idle.
ADC is considered busy when it is doing conversions (either the SINGLEACT or SCANACT status flag is high) or when it is warmed up
(one of the following status flags is high: WARM, SINGLEREFWARM, SCANREFWARM). The following registers are considered ADC
configuration registers: CMU_ADCCTRL, ADCn_CTRL, ADCn_SINGLECTRL, ADCn_SINGLECTRLX, ADCn_SCANCTRL,
ADCn_SCANCTRLX, ADCn_SCANINPUTSEL, ADCn_SCANNEGSEL, ADCn_IEN, ADCn_BIASPROG, ADCn_SCANMASK,
ADCn_CAL and ADCn_CMPTHR.
From reset, the ADC is in SYNC mode by default. The user can program the configuration registers as needed. If PRS is to be used,
PRSEN in ADCn_SINGLECTRL/ADCn_SCANCTRL should be set after all other configuration is complete. Once configuration is complete, the ADC is ready to receive triggers.
After the ADC has been used to perform conversions, the user must ensure that the ADC is idle before updating the configuration registers. The first step is to ensure that no new triggers (PRS) are being issued. It can take a few cycles from when a trigger is received to
when SINGELACT/SCANACT flags go high due to synchronization requirement. If it is unclear when the triggers were issued and if
those are under synchronization or not, the user should add a small delay before checking the status flags. If the SINGLEACT/
SCANACT status flags are high, the corresponding STOP command should be issued and the user should wait until the SINGLEACT/
SCANACT flags go low. If the ADC was warmed up, then the WARMUPMODE should be changed to NORMAL and then the user
should wait on WARM, SINGLEREFWARM and SCANREFWARM flags until those go low. Now the ADC is idle.
Note:
When switching ADCCLKMODE in the ADCn_CTRL register, use the appropriate sequence below:
• SYNC to ASYNC:
1. Disable ADC interrupts
2. Clear the FIFOs
3. Switch the ADCCLKMODE
• ASYNC TO SYNC:
1. Disable ADC interrupts
2. Switch the ADCCLKMODE
3. Clear the FIFOs
The FIFOs are cleared by writing 1 to the ADCn_SCANFIFOCLEAR and ADCn_SINGLEFIFOCLEAR registers.
When switching from ASYNC to SYNC, ensure that the ASYNC clock is turned off before doing the switch.

Scan Sequence Input Mask

Set one or more bits in this mask to select which inputs are included in scan sequence in either single ended or differential
mode. This works with SCANINPUTSEL register. The SCANINPUTSEL chooses 32 possible channels for single-ended or
32 pairs of possible channels for differential scanning from BUSes. These chosen channels are referred as ADCn_INPUTx
in the description. Four even inputs from first group of 8 ADCn_INPUTx and four odd inputs from second group of 8
ADCn_INPUTx have programmable NEGSEL, defined in SCANNEGSEL register. If the SCANMASK is set to 0 and scan
conversion is triggered, ADC will do a conversion with garbage results since no inputs were enabled for conversion.

IDAC - Current Digital to Analog Converter
23.3 Functional Description
An overview of the IDAC module is shown in Figure 23.1 IDAC Overview on page 791. The IDAC is designed to source or sink a
programmable current which can be controlled by setting the range and the step in the RANGESEL and STEPSEL bitfields in
IDAC_CURRPROG register. The IDAC output enable to APORT can be controlled by software or PRS. Output enable to APORT is
controlled by software by setting APORTOUTEN, or by PRS by setting APORTOUTENPRS in IDAC_CTRL. The APORTOUTSEL bitfield in IDAC_CTRL selects which APORT channel to route to pin. The IDAC is enabled by setting EN in IDAC_CTRL.

23.3.2 IDAC Enable and Warm-up
The IDAC is enabled by setting the EN bit in IDAC_CTRL. When this bit is set, the IDAC must stabilize before its output current is
stable.
It is important to wait until the IDAC is warmed up, or until any current programming is complete and the output current is stabilized,
before entering EM1, EM2, or EM3.

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

IDAC - Current Digital to Analog Converter
23.3.3 Output Control
The IDAC output to APORT can be controlled either by software or PRS. After configuring the desired output mode, set APORTOUTENPRS in IDAC_CTRL to enable PRS control over the output, or set APORTOUTEN in IDAC_CTRL to enable the output via software.
23.3.4 Output Modes
The IDAC can output current to a pin through the APORT bus system. The IDAC is connected to APORT bus 1x and 1y (channel 0-31).
The IDAC output is enabled by first configuring APORTOUTSEL in IDAC_CTRL to the desired APORT channel and then setting APORTOUTEN in IDAC_CTRL. For details regarding setting up the APORT see 23.3.5 APORT Configuration.

silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly.

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 792

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

IDAC - Current Digital to Analog Converter
23.3.5 APORT Configuration
The IDAC output is routed to a pin through the APORT system. The IDAC can be in either master or slave mode when connecting to
the APORT. By default the IDAC is in master mode and will drive the channel selected. To enable slave mode, set APORTMASTERDIS
in IDAC_CTRL. An APORT channel can be requested by configuring APORTOUTSEL to APORT1XCHx/APORT1YCHx in
IDAC_CTRL. The APORT1XREQ and APORT1YREQ bitfields in IDAC_APORTREQ will indicate if the access was granted by the
APORT. If the IDAC is in master mode, and another module is currently driving the requested channel, the APORTCONFLICT bitfield in
IDAC_STATUS will be set together with APORT1XCONFLICT or APORT1YCONFLICT in IDAC_APORTCONFLICT. The APORTCONFLICT can also be configured to trigger an interrupt, see 23.3.6 Interrupts for details. The IDAC will stop driving/listening (or stop requesting) the APORT channel by clearing APORTOUTEN in IDAC_CTRL.
The mapping for IDAC0 outputs to external I/O connections is shown in Table 23.2 IDAC0 Bus and Pin Mapping on page 793. Note
that this table shows the mapping for an entire family of devices. Enumerations for the APORTOUTSEL field can be determmined by
finding the desired pin connection in the table and then combining the IDAC Port, polarity and channel identifier. For example, pin PB14
is listed as CH30 on APORT1, polarity X. The enumeration would be APORT1XCH30. Refer to the Pin Definition and the APORT Client
Map in the device datasheet for specific details on which I/O are available for each family and package configuration.

23.3.6 Interrupts
The APORTCONFLICT interrupt flag in the IDAC_IF register indicates that a conflict has occurred when requesting a channel from the
APORT. The APORTCONFLICT interrupt can be enabled by setting the APORTCONFLICT bit in IDAC_IEN, or cleared by setting the
APORTCONFLICT bit in IDAC_IFC.
23.3.7 Minimizing Output Transition
If the internal output of the IDAC differs from the voltage at the output pin, enabling the output can cause an unwanted transition. To
minimize this transition, it is possible to charge or discharge the internal output node before enabling the output to the pin. Setting MINOUTTRANS in IDAC_CTRL when the IDAC is sourcing current connects the internal node to GND. Alternatively, setting MINOUTTRANS when the IDAC is sinking current connects the internal output node to VDD. Setting APORTOUTEN when MINOUTTRANS is
set will halt the charge/discharge until either APORTOUTEN is cleared or MINOUTTRANS is cleared.
23.3.8 Duty Cycle Configuration
The references for the IDAC can be duty-cycled, meaning that it can source current at very low overhead current consumption at the
cost of response time and accuracy. By default duty-cycling is enabled in EM2 and EM3 and disabled in EM0 and EM1. Setting
EM2DUTYCYCLEDIS in IDAC_DUTYCONFIG will disable duty cycling in EM2 and EM3. Note that sinking current can not be done with
duty-cycled references so measures needs to be taken to always disable duty-cycling while sinking current.
23.3.9 Calibration
The IDAC can be calibrated to accurately compensate for process, supply voltage and temperature variations. During the production
test, the middle step of each range is calibrated at room temperature. The TUNING bitfield in the IDAC_CAL register can be used to do
further calibration of each step with an external resistor connected to IDAC_OUT. The calibrated tuning value for each band can be
read from the Device Information (DI) page.
23.3.10 PRS Input
The IDAC can be configured to control the APORT output enable directly from the PRS channel by setting APORTOUTENPRS in
IDAC_CTRL, once the desired output mode is configured in IDAC_CTRL. The PRS channel is selected using PRSSEL in the
IDAC_CTRL register.

IDAC - Current Digital to Analog Converter
23.3.11 PRS Triggered Charge Injection
The amount of charge sourced or sunk by the IDAC can be controlled by the PRS (e.g., using a timer as producer) via the output
switch. Figure 23.2 IDAC Charge Injection Example on page 795 shows a case where the IDAC is configured to periodically supply
charge using the PRS. The amount of charge injected is proportional to the the period the IDAC is on. The total charge injected is the
current multiplied by the time the output switch is enabled.
The PRS system is enabled by setting APORTOUTENPRS in IDAC_CTRL, and the PRS channel is selected by PRSSEL in
IDAC_CTRL. To generate the periodic control signal, the TIMER module can be used, by configuring for example a CC channel to compare match with PRSLEVEL selected.

GPCRC - General Purpose Cyclic Redundancy Check

24. GPCRC - General Purpose Cyclic Redundancy Check
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

The GPCRC is an error-detecting module commonly
used in digital networks and storage systems to detect accidental changes to data.
Why?
The GPCRC module can detect errors in data, giving a higher system reliability and robustness.
How?
Blocks of data entering GPCRC module can have a
short checksum, based on the remainder of a polynomial division of their contents; on retrieval the calculation is repeated, and corrective action can be
taken against presumed data corruption if the check
values do not match.

24.1 Introduction
The GPCRC module is a slave peripheral that implements a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) function. It supports both 32-bit and 16bit polynomials. The supported 32-bit polynomial is 0x04C11DB7(IEEE 802.3), while the 16-bit polynomial can be programmed to any
value, depending on the needs of the application. Common 16-bit polynomials are 0x1021 (CCITT-16), 0x3D65 (IEC16-MBus), and
0x8005 (ZigBee, 802.15.4, and USB).

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

GPCRC - General Purpose Cyclic Redundancy Check
24.3.1 Polynomial Specification
POLYSEL in GPCRC_CTRL selects between 32-bit and 16-bit polynomial functions. When a 32-bit polynomial is selected, the fixed
IEEE 802.3 polynomial(0x04C11DB7) is used. When a 16-bit polynomial is selected, any valid polynomial can be defined by the user in
GPCRC_POLY.
A valid 16-bit CRC polynomial must have an x^16 term and an x^0 term. Theoretically, a 16-bit polynomial has 17 terms total. The convention used is to omit the x^16 term. The polynomial should be written in reversed (little endian) bit order. The most significant bit
corresponds to the lowest order term. Thus, the most significant bit in CRC_POLY represents the x^0 term, and the least significant bit
in CRC_POLY represents the x^15 term. The highest significant bit of CRC_POLY should always set to 1.The polynomial representation for the CRC-16-CCIT polynomial x^16 + x^12 + x^5 + 1, or 0x8408 in reversed order, is shown in Figure 24.2 Polynomial Representation on page 806.

24.3.2 Input and Output Specification
The CRC input data can be written to the GPCRC_INPUTDATA, GPCRC_INPUTDATAHWORD or GPCRC_INPUTDATABYTE register
via the APB bus based on different data size. If BYTEMODE in GPCRC_CTRL is set, only the least significant byte of the data word will
be used for the CRC calculation no matter which input register is written. There are also three output registers for different ordering.
Reading from GPCRC_DATA will get the result based on the polynomial in reversed order, while reading from GPCRC_DATAREV will
get the result based on the polynomial in normal order. The CRC calculation needs one clock cycle, reading from GPCRC_DATA,
GPCRC_DATAREV or GPCRC_DATABYTEREV register or writting to GPCRC_CMD register is halted while the calculation is in progress.
24.3.3 Automatic Initialization
The CRC can be pre-loaded or re-initialized by first writing a 32-bit programmable init value to INIT in GPCRC_INIT and then setting
INIT in GPCRC_CMD. It can also be re-initialized automatically when read from DATA, DATAREV or DATABYTEREV provided that AUTOINIT in GPCRC_CTRL is set, the CRC would be re-initialized with the stored init value.
24.3.4 DMA Usage
A DMA channel may be used to transfer data into the CRC engine. All bytes and half-word writes must be word-aligned. The recommended DMA usage model is to use the DMA to transfer all avaliable words of data and use software writes to capture any remaining
bytes.

GPCRC - General Purpose Cyclic Redundancy Check
24.3.5 Byte-Level Bit Reversal and Byte Reordering
The byte-level bit reversal and byte reordering operations occur before the data is used in the CRC calculation. Byte reordering can
occur on words or half words. The hardware ignores the BYTEREVERSE field with any byte writes or operations with byte mode enabled (BYTEMODE = 1), but the bit reversal settings (BITREVERSE) are still applied to the byte. 32-bit little endian MSB-first data can
be treated like 32-bit little endian LSB-first data, as shown in Figure 24.3 Data Ordering Example - 32-bit MSB -first to LSB-first on page
807. In this example, 32-bit data is written to GPCRC_INPUTDATA, BYTEREVERSE is set for byte ordering, and BITREVERSE is set
for byte-level bit reversal.

When handling 16-bit data, the byte reordering function only swap the two lowest bytes and clear the two highest bytes, as shown in
Figure 24.4 Data Ordering Example - 16-bit MSB -first to LSB-first on page 808. In this example, 16-bit data is written to GPCRC_INPUTDATAHWORD, BYTEREVERSE is set for byte ordering, and BITREVERSE is set for byte-level bit reversal.

Efficient cryptography with little or no CPU intervention helps to meet the speed and energy demands of
the application. Hardware implementations are generally more secure against side-channel attacks than
software implementations.
How?
Programmable sequences of instructions on big
numbers allow fast processing with little CPU intervention.

25.1 Introduction
The CRYPTO module allows efficient acceleration of common cryptographic operations and allows these to be used efficiently with a
low CPU load. Operations performed by CRYPTO can be set up as a sequence of instructions on a set of 128-bit, 256-bit or 512-bit
registers to implement or accelerate Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, and various block cipher modes
based on the Advanced Encryption Standard, also known as AES (FIPS-197).
CRYPTO is capable of autonomously fetching data, performing cipher operations and storing data across multiple blocks. When the
source data is not a multiple of 16 bytes (128 bits), Zero-padding can be included in the last block. Block operations such as Counter
Mode (CTR), Electronic Code Book (ECB), Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Cipher Feedback (CFB) and Output Feedback (OFB) are
easily implemented. Block Cipher modes of operation such as Electronic Code Book (ECB), Counter Mode (CTR), Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), CBC-MAC (CBC Message Authentication Code), CCM, (Counter with CBC-MAC) and GCM (Galois Counter mode) are
easily implemented.
CRYPTO is delivered with an extensive software library in Simplicity Studio that implements all major cryptographic algorithms, including but not limited to AES, SHA-1, SHA-2, ECC, and legacy algorithms DES, 3DES, MD4, MD5 and RC4. The implementation accelerates the algorithms using CRYPTO when possible.

CRYPTO - Crypto Accelerator
25.4.1 Data and Key Registers
The CRYPTO module contains five 256-bit registers. Accelerators are implemented through instructions operating on these registers,
either by copying data between registers and external components like through DMA, or by executing instructions on the registers.
Depending on the instruction, the registers can be accessed as 128-bit, 256-bit or 512-bit registers. The registers can also be accessed
through different interface registers to acheive different results.
When writing to and reading from the CRYPTO_DATAx, CRYPTO_KEY, CRYPTO_KEYBUF, CRYPTO_DDATAx and CRYPTO_QDATAx registers, the least significant part is accessed first and the most significant part last, see Figure 25.2 CRYPTO Data and Key Register Operation on page 821. The same is the case for the XOR and byte-access registers for DATA0 and DATA1. It is important to
note that some of the 256-bit registers are composed of the 128-bit registers, and both the 512-bit registers are composed of the 256-bit
registers.
Note: From here on, the 128, 256 and 512-bit registers are named DATAx, DDATAx, QDATAx, etc, And the access-points to these registers are named CRYPTO_DATAx, CRYPTO_DDATAx, CRYPTO_QDATAx, etc.
DATA0 can be accessed through CRYPTO_DATA0 (32-bit), CRYPTO_DATA0XOR (32-bit), CRYPTO_DATA0BYTE (8-bit) and CRYPTO_DATA0XORBYTE (8-bit). Direct access to bytes 12 - 15 is available through CRYPTO_DATA0BYTE12-15 (8-bit). The DATA0XOR
(in CRYPTO_DATA0XOR) is used for XOR'ing a value with the current value in DATA0. This is used in a large variety of block cipher
modes. All of these registers operate on DATA0.
DATA1 can be accessed through CRYPTO_DATA1 (32-bit) and CRYPTO_DATA1BYTE (8-bit).
The remaining data registers have regular 32-bit access through their respective registers. Note that all data registers require a full read
or write to be fully accessed. This means that the 128-bit registers need four 32-bit reads/writes, the 256-bit registers need 8 reads/
writes and the 512-bit registers need 16 reads/writes. For a read, if all read accesses are not done, the register will end up as a shifted
version of the original value.
Note: For byte-wise data accesses (DDATAxBYTE, DATAxBYTE, etc.), all reads and writes must be performed in groups of 4, due to
internal buffering and shifting of 32 bits at a time. Accessing a number of bytes that is not a multiple of four can cause data incoherency
in all of the data registers.
The KEY and KEYBUF registers are 256 bit wide when AES256 is set in CRYPTO_CTRL. Else they are 128 bit wide. When used as a
part of DDATAx and QDATAx, they are always 256 bit wide.
The registers DDATA0BIG and QDATA1BIG produce byte-swapped versions of DDATA0 and QDATA1 respectively. These may be used
when a computation requires byte-swapping. An example of this is SHA computation, where data needs to be changed to big endian
before CRYPTO can work with it. Little endian data is then loaded in through QDATA1BIG and the resulting little endian hash can be
read out from DDATA0BIG, see 25.4.5 SHA.
Except for KEYBUF, the contents of all data registers are lost when going to EM2.

CRYPTO - Crypto Accelerator
25.4.1.2 DDATA0 and DDATA1 Quick Observation
DDATA0LSBS in CRYPTO_DSTATUS shows the 4 least significant bits in DDATA0. DDATA0MSBS in CRYPTO_DSTATUS shows the 4
most significant bits of DDATA0, while DDATA1MSB in CRYPTO_DSTATUS shows the msb of DDATA1. These observation bitfields are
useful for determining the sign of the value in the data registers without having to read out the full register data register values
The 4 bits observed by DDATA0MSBS will change depending on RESULTWIDTH in CRYPTO_WAC. When using 260-bit results, DDATA0MSBS shows bits 259-256, when using 256-bit results, it is bits 255-252, and for 128-bit results, bits 127-124 can be observed.
When RESULTWIDTH is 260 bits, the 4 most significant bits, e.g. bits 259-256 are also available in CRYPTO_DDATA0BYTE32, where
they can also be written. Using this register is the only way of inputting the upper 4 bits of a 260-bit number to CRYPTO.

25.4.1.3 Result Width
RESULTWIDTH in CRYPTO_WAC determines the width of the operation when performing arithmetic/shift instructions with CRYPTO.
Using less wide results will reduce the current consumption of the CRYPTO module. The higher-order bits that are beyond the selected
result width are ignored in the computation of arithmetic/shift operations, however, these higher-order bits will be undefined in the result
of such instructions.
When RESULTWIDTH=260BIT, all DDATA registers effectively become 260 bits wide, so that the upper 4 bits are not lost when transferring data from DDATA0 to the other DDATA registers. Likewise, the arithmetic/shift instructions shall consider the full 260-bit values
of DDATA0-DDATA4 when used as operation inputs. Note that DDATA0 is the only 260-bit register of which MSBs can be observed/
written. The upper 4 bits are observed through DDATA0MSBS in CRYPTO_DSTATUS or through CRYPTO_DDATA0BYTE32. For all
DDATAx registers, the extra MSBs are cleared when DDATAx is written. Furthermore, for a particular x, a write to DDATAx or any of its
aliased registers will cause DDATAx MSBs to be cleared. Note, writing to KEY/KEYBUF will only clear MSBs of DDATA1/DDATA4 when
AES256 mode is set. Likewise, writing to DATA0/DATA2 will not clear DDATA2/DDATA3 MSBs.
Since the DATA0-DATA3 registers are always 128-bit, all bit positions greater than 128 are interpreted as 0 when RESULTWIDTH is
greater than 128 bits. However, the assignment instructions DATAxTODDATAy will not zero-out the upper 128 bits of the DDATAy target. Instead, those upper words become undefined after such operations.
25.4.2 Instructions and Execution
The CRYPTO module implements a set of instructions in order to load and manipulate data effectively. These instructions are grouped
into four types:
• ALU instructions - arithmetic and logical bitwise operations
• Transfer instructions - moving data between registers and external peripherals like DMA
• Conditional instructions - conditionally execute instructions based on context
• Special instructions - various crypto and support instructions
A single instruction can be executed by writing INSTR in CRYPTO_CMD. This will execute the instruction, and the interface of CRYPTO will be locked until the execution has completed. Multiple commands can safely be issued after each other by the CPU as long as
NOBUSYSTALL in CRYPTO_CTRL is not set. If CRYPTO gets a new command or a data access request while busy it will then stall the
bus, and execute the new command as soon as it is done with the previous one. Note, there are some exceptions to this rule. For
example, see 25.4.8 DMA.
Stalling of the bus can be disabled by setting NOBUSYSTALL in CRYPTO_CTRL, however manipulating (reading or writing) registers
while running a sequence will result in undefined behaviour. Additionally, if NOBUSYSTALL=0 and a new command or data access request is made while the Crypto is simultaneously performing a data transfer sequence, it is possible for system lockup due to bus stalling loops. The safest approach is to always check if an instruction is running by looking at INSTRRUNNING in CRYPTO_STATUS.
25.4.2.1 Sequences
For executing a set of instructions it is however more efficient to load them into the CRYPTO module and run them as a sequence. This
is done by writing the instructions into CRYPTO_SEQ0-CRYPTO_SEQ4, and marking the end of the instruction sequence with either
an END or an EXEC instruction. The END simply means end-of-instructions, while writing EXEC means end-of-instructions and execute
immediately.
The five registers allow up to 20 instructions to be loaded. To start execution, either end the instructions with an EXEC instruction, or set
SEQSTART in CRYPTO_CMD. CRYPTO will then execute the instructions, starting in CRYPTO_SEQ0, and ending at the first END
instruction. SEQRUNNING in CRYPTO_STATUS is set while the sequence is running, and the interrupt flag SEQDONE in CRYPTO_IF
will be set when the sequence has completed.
A sequence can be stopped by issuing the SEQSTOP command in the CRYPTO_CMD register. This command also clears the state of
ongoing CRYPTO instructions including DMA access. Check SEQRUNNING in CRYPTO_STATUS after issuing the SEQSTOP command flag to make sure any ongoing sequence/transfer has completed before accessing data registers again.

25.4.2.3 MULx details
For the MULx instructions (not MMUL), MULWIDTH in CRYPTO_WAC specifies the width of operands DDATA1 (and sometimes V1).
This is useful in order to optimize performance because multiplications take the same number of cycles as the bits in the operands plus
a couple of cycles for setup.
As for the other ALU instructions, RESULTWIDTH limits the width of the final result of the MULx and MMUL instructions.
25.4.2.4 DATA1INC and DATA1INCCLR instructions
DATA1INC and DATA1INCCLR operate on the 1, 2, 3 or 4 most significant bytes in DATA1, depending on INCWIDTH in CRYPTO_CTRL. DATA1INC increments these bytes in big endian, while DATA1INCCLR clears the bytes.
25.4.2.5 BBSWAP128 instruction
The BBSWAP128 instruction copies the contents of the V0 operand to DDATA0 while swapping the bits of the lower 16 bytes. The
operand is not changed. This operation is required for GCM. See 25.4.7 GCM and GMAC

25.4.2.6 Carry
The carry output from most instructions can be observed through CARRY in CRYPTO_DSTATUS. Shift-instructions set CARRY to the
value that is shifted out of the register, addition and multiplication set it on register overflow, and subtraction sets it on borrow, e.g. underflow.
In addition to generating carry information, some instructions also use the current value of CARRY. ADDC, SUBC, SHLC and SHRC all
use carry to generate the result. For all of these instructions, carry allows a program to chain instructions together to operate on bigger
numbers than allowed by CRYPTO. E.g. by chaining first an ADD, and then an ADDC which uses the carry from the ADD operation,
one can add two 512-bit numbers. By chaining more instructions, even larger numbers can be manipulated.
Other uses of CARRY include observation. To check if a register is 0, one can subtract 1 using the DEC instruction, and check if goes
negative by checking the CARRY bit. CARRY can be set manually and in CRYPTO programs using the CSET and CCLR instructions,
which set and clear the CARRY bit.
The MULC instruction does not use CARRY like the other C(arry) instructions, but rather preserves the old contents of the multiplication
register
25.4.3 Repeated Sequence
To maximize efficiency, it is desirable to be able to run a set of instructions over multiple blocks of data autonomously. To repeat a sequence over a larger set of data, set LENGTHA in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL to the number of bytes in the set, and BLOCKSIZE to the size
of the blocks in the set. The sequence will then be repeated N times, where N is LENGTHA / BLOCKSIZE if LENGTHA is a multiple of
BLOCKSIZE, or ceiling( LENGTHA / BLOCKSIZE ) if not. In the latter case, data written by DMA will be zero-padded up to BLOCKSIZE
if it is written to a register which has a size equal to BLOCKSIZE. One notable exception is when LENGTHA is 0. In this case the sequence will still execute once, but the block transfer instructions will not execute.
Note: If DMAxRSEL in CRYPTO_CTRL selects a register that is smaller than the specified blocksize, DATATODMAx/DMAxTODATA
instructions will not use the full blocksize, but will only transfer enough data to empty/fill the register once. For example, if BLOCKSIZE
is set to 64B and DMA0RSEL=DDATA0, the instruction DATATODMA0 will only read 32B instead of 64B. The processing of
LENGTHA/B will continue as if all 64B had been transfered.
A repeated sequence can also be made do slightly different operations on different parts of the data set. A sequence can be divided
into two parts; part A, and part B. By configuring LENGTHA in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL to the length of part A, and LENGTHB in CRYPTO_SEQCTRLB to the length of part B, CRYPTO will first run iterations over part A, knowing it is A, and then part B, knowing it is part
B. By using the conditional instructions listed in Table 25.3 Conditional Instructions on page 824, a program can execute different instructions depending on whether it is in part A or part B.

25.4.4 AES
The AES core operates on data in the 128-bit register DATA0 using the either a 128-bit or 256-bit key from the KEY register. The key
width is specified by AES256 in CRYPTO_CTRL. AES operations are implemented as the AESENC and AESDEC instructions, for AES
encryption and AES decryption respectively. An overview of the AES functionality is shown in Figure 25.3 CRYPTO AES Overview on
page 827.
AES encryption and decryption enables various block cipher modes like ECB, CTR, CBC, PCBC, CFB, OFB, CBC-MAC, GMAC, CCM,
CCM*, and GCM.

The input data before encryption is called the PlainText and output from the encryption is called CipherText. For encryption, the key is
called PlainKey. After encryption, the resulting key in the KEY registers is the CipherKey. This key must be loaded into the KEY registers prior to the decryption. After one decryption, the resulting key will be the PlainKey. The resulting PlainKey/CipherKey is only dependent on the value in the KEY registers before encryption/decryption. The resulting keys and data are shown in Figure 25.4 CRYPTO
Key and Data Definitions on page 827.

25.4.5 SHA
The CRYPTO SHA instruction implements SHA-1 with a 160-bit digest or SHA-2 with a 224-bit digest (SHA-224) or 256-bit digest
(SHA-256). Depending on SHAMODE in CRYPTO_CTRL, SHA-1, SHA-224 or SHA-256 will be run on the data in QDATA1, and the
result will be put on DDATA0. The contents in QDATA1 will be destroyed in the process.
To run SHA on a dataset, it must first be pre-processed by appending a bit '1' to the message, then padding the data with '0' bits until
the message length in bits modulo 512 is 448. Then append the length of the message before pre-processing as a 64-bit big-endian
integer. This pre-processing is known as MD-strengthening, and must be done by software before processing with the CRYPTO module.
The pre-processed data can now be run through the CRYPTO module. Begin by writing the values listed in Table 25.5 SHA Init Values
on page 829 to CRYPTO_DDATA1 from top to bottom, then execute the instructions listed in in Table 25.6 SHA Preparations on page
829.

25.4.6 ECC
The CRYPTO module implements support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography through the modular instructions MADD, MMUL and MSUB,
which perform modular addition, multiplication and subtraction respectively. The instructions can operate on a set of both prime fields
GF(p) and binary fields GF(2^m).
The type of modular arithmetic used and the modulus for the modular operations are specified by MODOP and MODULUS in CRYPTO_WAC respectively. Changing these in the middle of an operation leads to undefined behaviour.

25.4.7 GCM and GMAC
CRYPTO implements support for Galois/Counter Mode (GCM), and also Galois Message Authentication Code (GMAC), by providing
AES instructions and allowing multiplication on the field GF(2^128) defined by the polynomial x^128 + x^7 + x^2 + x + 1.
Note: BBSWAP128 needs to be applied to both operands and the result of the MMUL instruction when using it for GCM and GMAC
Efficient sequencer programs can be set up to perform GCM authentication and encryption/decryption on data from either DMA, or
CPU. To acheive a single-pass solution, LENGTHA in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL is set to the length of the authentication part, and
LENGTHB is set to the length of the rest of the message. Conditional instructions can then be used to make sure the two parts of the
message are processed correctly. A similar approach is used to implement CCM.
25.4.8 DMA
The CRYPTO module has 5 DMA request signals (see Table 25.8 DMA Signals on page 830) split over 2 internal DMA channels:
DMA0 and DMA1. These DMA channels are not associated with channel 0 and 1 of the system DMA, and any system DMA channel
can serve any of the 5 DMA requests. See the DMA chapter for information on how to configure the system DMA.
The DMA signals are set through the use of DMA oriented instructions, and cleared by reading or writing the respective CRYPTO data
registers.

Note: DMAxRSEL in CRYPTO_CTRL has to be set to the data registers that are to be read using the respective DMA channels on a
DATATODMAx instruction. As an important note, DMAxRSEL in CRYPTO_CTRL selects what is read from any of the selectable read
registers during an ongoing DATATODMAx transfer (verify for accuracy).
When a DMA oriented CRYPTO instruction is used (either through a STEP in a Sequence or through CRYPTO_CMD), the corresponding DMA signal is set. The instruction is complete when the entire source/destination is read/written (e.g. if DMA0TODATA is used, the
operation is complete when a total of 128 valid bits have been written through the CRYPTO_DATA0 register). DMAACTIVE in CRYPTO_STATUS is set while CRYPTO is working on a DMA-related instruction, e.g. waiting for the DMA to read or write data to CRYPTO
(see 25.4.8.1 DMA Initial Bytes Skip).
Normally, when a sequence or instruction is executed, access to most CRYPTO registers will stall the CPU or DMA that is trying to
access CRYPTO until the operation is done, preventing accesses to CRYPTO that could potentially interfere with an operation. During
DMA operations, all non-dma registers are writeable and readable, but progress through the DMA operation will only be tracked with
the registers targetted by the DMA operation. I.e. if the DMA operation is supposed to transfer 3 words to DATA0, the DMA can first
choose to transfer data to e.g. DATA3, and then fulfill the transfer to DATA0.
Because the bus interface to CRYPTO is normally locked outside of DMA transfers, a wrongly set up DMA transfer, that for example
transfer one byte too many might lock up the interface. One way to assist in debugging such issues can be setting NOBUSYSTALL in
CRYPTO_CTRL. This will prevent any stall on CRYPTO register accesses during sequences and instructions. Use this option with
care, as modifying a register that is being used by CRYPTO can lead to undefined behavior

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

CRYPTO - Crypto Accelerator
25.4.8.1 DMA Initial Bytes Skip
The DMA must be configured to use 32-bit transfer size. This normally would imply that the source data must be aligned to a 4 byte
address boundry. However, it is possible to skip the intial bytes (1 to 3) when using DMA to write to DATA0 or DATA1 through a CRYPTO instruction operation. The number of bytes to skip are set in DMA0SKIP and DMA1SKIP in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL. This implies that if
DMA0SKIP is set to another value than 0, the initial DMA access will require 5 DMA transfers, even though only 4x32-bit is required.
Note: Any valid unused bytes from a previous DMA write will be used before new DMA data is requested. This data is invalidated by
using STOP in CRYPTO_CMD.

25.4.8.2 DMA Unaligned Read/Write
Except for DATA0 and DATA1, which can be loaded bytewise using the CRYPTO_DATA0BYTE, CRYPTO_DATA0XORBYTE and
CRYPTO_DATA1BYTE registers, the CRYPTO data registers are loaded 32-bits at a time. In most cases this is ok, but the DMA does
not directly support 32-bit unaligned accesses, so if the data buffer is not aligned to 32-bit and DMA is being used, special care must be
taken.
As an example, let an in-memory 16-byte data buffer start at address 4*N + M and end at the byte before. 4*N + 16 + M, where M is
between 0 and 3 inclusive. With an M=0, we have fully aligned accesses, and everything is fine. For M>0 however, the access is unaligned. If M=1, that means that the first 32-bit aligned word of the memory buffer contains 1 byte before the buffer, and 3 bytes of the
buffer. Similarly, the last 32-bit aligned word of the memory buffer contains the last byte of the buffer, and three bytes after the buffer.
When doing an unaligned read, we want to only pass the 16 bytes of the buffer to the CRYPTO module. Not the N bytes before in the
32-bit aligned word, and not the 4-N words at the end. To acheive this, set DxDMAREADMODE in CRYPTO_CTRL to either UNALIGNEDFULL or UNALIGNEDLENLIMIT, and set DATAxDMASKIP in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL equal to N. When reading in data using a
DMA-oriented instruction to DATAx, DDATAx or QDATAx, the read will now only contain the 16 bytes, and not the N bytes before or 4-N
words after. Note that in this case, the DMA has to be set up to transfer 5 32-bit words instead of the effective 4.
Being able to read unaligned data does not solve all cases however. If data is to be written back to the buffer after passing through
CRYPTO, e.g. when doing an in-place encryption or decryption, it is very undesirable to actually modify the N bytes before and 4-N
bytes after the buffer. This is solved using the UAR-suffixed registers in CRYPTO when reading data out from the CRYPTO module,
e.g. CRYPTO_DATA0UAR, CRYPTO_DATA1UAR, CRYPTO_DDATA0UAR,CRYPTO_DDATA1UAR, CRYPTO_QDATA0UAR, etc.
When an unaligned buffer is written to a CRYPTO buffer, CRYPTO stores the N first bytes and the 4-N last bytes internally. When reading out from an UAR register, these bytes are placed back into the data if DATAxDMAPRES is set in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL.
Note that the latter case only works if the first N and the last 4-N bytes are not changed while CRYPTO works on the data. Internally
CRYPTO has 2 buffers for the bytes before and after. The first one is connected to read/write of the DATA0, DDATA0 and QDATA0
registers, and the second is connected to the DATA1, DDATA1 and QDATA1 registers.
If DMAxRMODE in CRYPTO_CTRL is set to FULL or UNALIGNEDFULL and the corresponding DMAxPRES in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL is
set, then a whole number of data buffers have to be written by the DMA. In all other cases, it is enough to write the number of 32-bit
words to pass all LENGTH bits to the target CRYPTO buffer.
25.4.10 Debugging
There are multiple ways of debugging CRYPTO sequences. The most straight-forward way is to write individual instructions to INSTR in
CRYPTO_CMD. An instruction can be written, and data can be read out and examined before running another instruction.
Running individual instructions to debug a program falls short when working with repeated sequences. In these cases, a sequence is
run multiple times over a set of data. This cannot be directly replicated with individual instructions
To debug a sequence, set HALT in CRYPTO_SEQCTRL. When set, CRYPTO requires software or the debugger to step it through each
instruction in the sequence. To step through the sequence, set SEQSTEP in CRYPTO_CMD. This will execute the current instruction,
and make CRYPTO ready to execute the next one.
When stepping through a sequence, the current instruction index can be read from SEQIP in CRYPTO_CSTATUS. SEQSKIP, also in
CRYPTO_CSTATUS tells whether the next instruction will be executed or not, based on previous conditionals in the program. SEQPART in CRYPTO_CSTATUS shows whether CRYPTO is currently in part A or B of a sequence. Even with NOBUSYSTALL in CRYPTO_CTRL cleared, read and write accesses to CRYPTO will be allowed when CRYPTO is waiting to be stepped. This is to allow data
registers to be inspected during debugging.
Note: The data registers in Crypto (those marked read-actionable) require shifting of data in order to return the result. For this reason,
reading these registers will have no effect and will return unknown values during normal debugger read accesses (see 5.3.6 Debugger
reads of actionable registers).

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output

26. GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

4

The General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) is used
for pin configuration, direct pin manipulation and
sensing, as well as routing for peripheral pin connections.
Why?

GPIO

Easy to use and highly configurable input/output
pins are important to fit many communication protocols as well as minimizing software control overhead. Flexible routing of peripheral functions helps
to ease PCB layout.
How?

Peripherals

ARM
Cortex-M3

Each pin on the device can be individually configured as either an input or an output with several different drive modes. Also, individual bit manipulation
registers minimizes control overhead. Peripheral
connections to pins can be routed to several different locations, thus solving congestion issues that
may arise with multiple functions on the same pin.
Fully asynchronous interrupts can also be generated
from any pin.

26.1 Introduction
In the EFM32 Jade Gecko devices the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins are organized into ports with up to 16 pins each.
These GPIO pins can individually be configured as either an output or input. More advanced configurations like open-drain, opensource, and glitch filtering can be configured for each individual GPIO pin. The GPIO pins can also be overridden by peripheral pin
connections, like Timer PWM outputs or USART communication, which can be routed to several locations on the device. The GPIO
supports up to 16 asynchronous external pin interrupts, which enable interrupts from any pin on the device. Also, the input value of a
pin can be routed through the Peripheral Reflex System to other peripherals.
Note:
To use the GPIO, the GPIO clock must first be enabled in CMU_HFBUSCLKEN0. Setting this bit enables the HFBUSCLK for the GPIO.

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output
26.3 Functional Description
An overview of the GPIO module is shown in Figure 26.1 Pin Configuration on page 874.The GPIO pins are grouped into 16-pin
ports. Each individual GPIO pin is called Pxn where x indicates the port (A, B, C ...) and n indicates the pin number (0,1,....,15). Fewer
than 16 bits may be available on some ports, depending on the total number of I/O pins on the package. After a reset, both input and
output are disabled for all pins on the device, except for the Serial Wire Debug pins.
To use a pin, the Mode Register (GPIO_Px_MODEL/GPIO_Px_MODEH) must be configured for the pin to make it an input or output.
These registers can also do more advanced configuration, which is covered in 26.3.1 Pin Configuration. When the port is configured as
an input or an output, the Data In Register (GPIO_Px_DIN) can be used to read the level of each pin in the port (bit n in the register is
connected to pin n on the port). When configured as an output, the value of the Data Out Register (GPIO_Px_DOUT) will be driven to
the pin.
The DOUT value can be changed in 4 different ways:
• Writing to the GPIO_Px_DOUT register
• Writing the BITSET address of the GPIO_Px_DOUT register sets the DOUT bits
• Writing the BITCLEAR address of the GPIO_Px_DOUT register clears the DOUT bits
• Writing the GPIO_Px_DOUTTGL register toggles the corresponding DOUT bits
Reading the GPIO_Px_DOUT register will return its contents. Reading the GPIO_Px_DOUTTGL register will return 0.

26.3.1 Pin Configuration
In addition to setting the pins as either outputs or inputs, the GPIO_Px_MODEL and GPIO_Px_MODEH registers can be used for more
advanced configurations. GPIO_Px_MODEL contains 8 bit fields named MODEn (n=0,1,..7) which control pins 0-7, while
GPIO_Px_MODEH contains 8 bit fields named MODEn (n=8,9,..15) which control pins 8-15. In some modes GPIO_Px_DOUT is also
used for extra configurations like pull-up/down and glitch suppression filter enable. Table 26.1 Pin Configuration on page 875 shows

MODEn determines which mode the pin is in at a given time. Setting MODEn to DISABLED disables the pin, reducing power consumption to a minimum. When the output driver, input driver and Over Voltage Tolearance is disabled, the pin can be used as a connection
for an analog module. An input is enabled by setting MODEn to any value other than DISABLED while DINDIS for the given port is
cleared. Set DINDIS to disable the input of a gpio port. The pull-up, pull-down and glitch filter function can optionally be applied to the
input, see Figure 26.2 Tristated Output with Optional Pull-up or Pull-down on page 876.

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output
26.3.1.1 Over Voltage Tolerance
Over voltage capability is available for most pins. If available, it allows the pin to be used at either the minimum of VDDIO + 2V and
5.5V (for 5V tolerant pads) or the minimum of VDDIO + 2V and 3.8V (for non-5V tolerant pads). The datasheet specifies which pins can
be used as 5V tolerant pins. Default over voltage is enabled for each pin supporting that feature. Over voltage tolerance can be disabled on a per pin basis. The over voltage tolerance feature applied to the selected pins is configured in the GPIO_Px_OVTDIS register.
Disabling the over voltage tolerance for a pin will provide less distortion on that pin, which is useful when the pin is used as analog
input.
26.3.1.2 Alternate Port Control
The Alternate Port Control allows for additional flexibilty of port level settings. A user may setup two different port configurations (normal
and alternate modes) and select which is applied on a pin by pin bases. For example you may configure half of port A to use the low
drive strength setting (normal mode) while the other half uses high drive strenght (alternate mode).
Alternate port control is enabled when MODEn is set to any of the ALT enumared modes (ie. PUSHPULLALT). When MODEn is an
alternate mode, the pin uses the alternalte port control values specified in the DINDISALT,SLEWRATEALT, and DRIVESTRENGTHALT
fields in GPIO_Px_CTRL. In all other modes, the port control values are used from the DINDIS,SLEWRATE, and DRIVESTRENGTH
fields in GPIO_Px_CTRL.
26.3.1.3 Drive Strength
The drive strength can be applied to pins on a port-by-port basis. The drive strength applied to pins configured using normal MODEn
settings can be controlled using the DRIVESTRENGTH field in GPIO_Px_CTRL. The drive strength applied to pins configured using
alternate MODEn settings can be controled using the DRIVESTRENGTHALT field.
26.3.1.4 Slewrate
The slewrate can be applied to pins on a port-by-port basis. The slewrate applied to pins configured using normal MODEn settings can
be controlled using the SLEWRATE fields in GPIO_Px_CTRL. The slewrate applied to pins configured using the alternate MODEn settings can be controlled using the SLEWRATEALT field.
26.3.1.5 Input Disable
The pin inputs can be disabled on a port-by-port basis. The input of pins configured using the normal MODEn settings can be disabled
by setting DINDIS in GPIO_Px_CTRL. The input of pins configured using the alternate MODEn settings can be disabled by setting DINDISALT.
26.3.1.6 Configuration Lock
GPIO_Px_MODEL, GPIO_Px_MODEH, GPIO_Px_CTRL, GPIO_Px_PINLOCKN, GPIO_Px_OVTDIS, GPIO_EXTIPSELL, GPIO_EXTIPSELH, GPIO_EXTIPINSELL, GPIO_EXTIPINSELH, GPIO_INSENSE, GPIO_ROUTEPEN, and GPIO_ROUTELOC0 can be locked
by writing any value other than 0xA534 to GPIO_LOCK. Writing the value 0xA534 to the GPIOx_LOCK register unlocks the configuration registers.
In addition to configuration lock, GPIO_Px_MODEL, GPIO_Px_MODEH, GPIO_Px_DOUT, GPIO_Px_DOUTTGL, and GPIO_Px_OVTDIS can be locked individually for each pin by clearing the corresponding bit in GPIO_Px_PINLOCKN. When a bit in the GPIO_Px_PINLOCKN register is cleared, it will stay cleared until reset.

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output
26.3.2 EM4 Wake-up
It is possible to trigger a wake-up from EM4 using any of the selectable EM4WU GPIO pins. The wake-up request can be triggered
through the pins by enabling the corresponding bit in the GPIO_EM4WUEN register. When EM4 wake-up is enabled for the pin, the
input filter is enabled during EM4. This is done to avoid false wake-up caused by glitches. In addition, the polarity of the EM4 wake-up
request can be selected using the GPIO_EXTILEVEL register.

GPIO_IFC
GPIO_EM4WUEN
GPIO_EXTILEVEL
GPIO_IEN

Wake-up Logic
Wake-up request

Figure 26.5. EM4 Wake-up Logic
The pins used for EM4 wake-up must be configured as inputs with glitch filters using the GPIO_Px_MODEL/GPIO_Px_MODEH register. If the input is disabled and the wakeup polarity is low, a false wakeup will occur when entering EM4. If the input is enabled, the
glitch filtered is disabled, and the polarity is set low, a glitch will occur when going into EM4 that will cause an immediate wake-up.
Before going down to EM4, it is important to clear the wake-up logic by setting the GPIO_IFC bit, which clears the wake-up logic, including the GPIO_IF register. It is possible to determine which pin caused the EM4WU by reading the GPIO_IF register. The mapping
between EM4WU pins and the bit indexes in the GPIO_EM4WUEN, GPIO_EXTILEVEL, GPIO_IFC, GPIO_IFS, GPIO_IEN, and
GPIO_IF registers is as follows:

Note: Please see the device datasheet for actual pin location

26.3.3 EM4 Retention
By default GPIO pins revert back to their reset state when EM4 is entered. The GPIO pins can be configured to retain the settings for
output enable, output value, pull enable, pull direction and over voltage tolerance while in EM4.
EM4 GPIO retention is controled with the EM4IORETMODE field in the EMU_EM4CTRL register. Setting EM4IORETMODE to EM4EXIT will cause retention to persist while in EM4 and reset the GPIO's durring wakeup. Setting EM4 IORETMODE to SWUNLATCH will
cause the rentention to perset untill the EM4UNLATCH bit is written by sofware. When using SWUNLATCH the GPIO register values
are sill reset on wakup. In order to ensure that the GPIO state does not change sofware must re-write the GPIO registers before setting
EM4UNLATCH and ending EM4 GPIO retention. See the EMU chapter for additional documentation on it's registers and the EM4UNLATCH bit.

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output
26.3.4 Alternate Functions
Alternate functions are connections to pins from peripherals, i.e. Timers, USARTs, etc.. These peripherals contain route registers,
where the pin connections are enabled. In addition, the route registers contain a location bit field that configures which pin an output of
that peripheral will be connected to if enabled. After connecting a peripheral, the pin configuration stays as set in GPIO_Px_MODEL,
GPIO_Px_MODEH and GPIO_Px_DOUT registers. For example, the pin configuration must be set to output enable in GPIO_Px_MODEL or GPIO_Px_MODEH for a peripheral to be able to use the pin as an output.
It is not recommended to select two or more peripherals as output on the same pin. The reader is referred to the pin map section of the
device datasheet for more information on the possible locations of each alternate function.
26.3.4.1 Analog Connections
When using the GPIO pin for analog functionality, it is recommended to disable the over voltage tolerance by setting the coresponding
pin in the GPIO_Px_OVTDIS register and setting the MODEn in GPIO_Px_MODEL or GPIO_Px_MODEH equal to DISABLE to disable
the input sense, output driver and pull resistors.
26.3.4.2 Debug Connections
26.3.4.2.1 Serial Wire Debug Connection
The SW Debug Port is routed as an alternate function and the SWDIO and SWCLK pin connections are enabled by default with internal
pull up and pull down resistors, respectivlely. It is possible to disable these pin connections (and disable the pull resistors) by setting the
SWDIOTMSPEN and SWCLKTCKPEN bits in GPIO_ROUTEPEN to 0.
The Serial Wire Viewer pin, SWV, can be enabled by setting the SWVPEN bit in GPIO_ROUTEPEN. This bit can also be routed to
alternate locations by configuring the SWVLOC bitfield in GPIO_ROUTELOC0.
26.3.4.2.2 JTAG Debug Connection
The JTAG Debug Port is routed as an alternate function and the TMS, TCK, TDO, and TDI pin connections are enabled by default with
internal pull up, pull down, no pull, and pull up resistors, respectivlely. It is possible to disable these pin connections (and disable the
pull resistors) by setting the SWDIOTMSPEN, SWCLKTCKPEN, TDOPEN, and TDIPEN bits in GPIO_ROUTEPEN to 0.
26.3.4.2.3 Disabling Debug Connections
When the debug pins are disabled, the device can no longer be accessed by a debugger. A reset will set the debug pins back to their
enabled default state. The GPIO_ROUTEPEN register can only be updated when the debugger is disconnected from the system. Any
attempts to modify GPIO_ROUTEPEN when the debugger is connected will not occur. If you do disable the debug pins, make sure you
have at least a 3 second timeout at the start of your program code before you disable the debug pins. This way the debugger will have
time to connect to the the device after a reset and before the pins are disabled.
26.3.5 Interrupt Generation

Preliminary Rev. 0.6 | 879

EFM32JG1 Reference Manual

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output
26.3.5.1 Edge Interrupt Generation
The GPIO can generate an interrupt from any edge of the input of any GPIO pin on the device. The edge interrupts have asynchronous
sense capability, enabling wake-up from energy modes as low as EM3 Stop, see Figure 26.6 Pin n Interrupt Generation on page 880.

Figure 26.6. Pin n Interrupt Generation
External pin interrupts can be represented in the form of EXTI[index], where index is the external interrupt number. For example, the
EXTI7 interrupt has an index of 7. All pins within a group of four (0-3,4-7,8-11,12-15) from all ports are grouped together to trigger one
interupt. The group of pins availabe to trigger an interrupt is determined by the interrupt index and calculated as int(index/4). For example the first 4 interrupts (EXTI0 - EXTI3) are triggered by pins in the first group (Px[3:0]) and the second 4 interrupts (EXTI4-EXTI7) are
triggered by pins in the second group (Px[7:4]).
The EXTIPSELn bits in GPIO_EXTIPSELL or GPIO_EXTIPSELH select which PORT in the group will trigger the interupt. The EXTIPINSELn bits in GPIO_EXTIPINSELL or GPIO_EXTIPINSELH will determine which pin inside the selected group will trigger the interrupt.
For example if EXTIPSEL11 = PORTB and EXTPINSEL11 = 0 then PB8 will be used for EXTI11. EXTI11 uses the third group (11/4 = 2)
so the list of possible pins is Px[11:8]. The setting of EXTIPSEL11 further narrows the selection to PB[11:8]. Finally EXTPINSEL11 selects the first pin in that group which is PB8.
The GPIO_EXTIRISE[n] and GPIO_EXTIFALL[n] registers enable sensing of rising and falling edges. By setting the EXT[n] bit in
GPIO_IEN, a high interrupt flag n, will trigger one of two interrupt lines. The even interrupt line is triggered by any enabled even numbered interrupt flag index, while the odd interrupt line is triggered by odd flag indexes. The interrupt flags can be set and cleared by
software when writing the GPIO_IFS and GPIO_IFC registers. Since the external interrupts are asynchronous, they are sensitive to
noise. To increase noise tolerance, the MODEL and MODEH fields in the GPIO_Px_MODEL and GPIO_Px_MODEH registers, respectively, should be set to include glitch filtering for pins that have external interrupts enabled.

GPIO - General Purpose Input/Output
26.3.5.2 Level Interrupt Generation
GPIO can generate a level interrupt using the input of any GPIO EM4 wake-up pins on the device. The interrupts have asynchronous
sense capability, enabling wake-up from energy modes as low as EM4.
In order to enable the level interrupt, set the EM4WU field in the GPIO_IEN register and the EM4WUn field in the GPIO_EXTILEVEL
register. Upon a level interrupt occuring, the corresponding EM4WU index in the GPIO_IF register will be set along with the odd or even
interrupt line depending on the index inside of GPIO_IF, see Figure 26.7 Level Interrupt Example on page 881 The wake-up granulalrity of the level interrupts is based on the settings of the EM4WU field in the GPIO_IEN register and the EM4WUEN field in the
GPIO_EM4WUEN register, see Table 26.3 Level Interrupt Energy Mode Wakeup on page 881

By setting the EM4WU8 in GPIO_EXTILEVEL and EM4WU[8] in GPIO_IEN, the interrupt flag EM4WU[8] in GPIO_IF will be triggered
by a high level on pin EM4WU8 and a interrupt request will be sent on IRQ_GPIO_EVEN.

26.3.6 Output to PRS
All pins within a group of four(0-3,4-7,8-11,12-15) from all ports are grouped together to form one PRS producer which outputs to the
PRS. The pin from which the output should be taken is selected in the same fashion as the edge interrupts.
PRS output is not effeted by the interupt edge detction logic or gated by the IEN bits. See Figure 26.6 Pin n Interrupt Generation on
page 880 for an ilistration of where the PRS output signal is generated.
26.3.7 Synchronization
To avoid metastability in synchronous logic connected to the pins, all inputs are synchronized with double flip-flops. The flip-flops for the
input data run on the HFBUSCLK. Consequently, when a pin changes state, the change will have propagated to GPIO_Px_DIN after
two 2 HFBUSCLK cycles. Synchronization (also running on the HFBUSCLK) is also added for interrupt input. To save power when the
external interrupts or level interrupts are not used, the synchronization flip-flops for these can be turned off by clearing INT or
EM4WU,respectively, in GPIO_INSENSE register.

27. APORT - Analog Port
Quick Facts
What?
0 1 2 3

The Analog Port (APORT) is a set of analog buses
which are used to connect I/O pins to analog peripheral signals.
Why?

Producers

DAC

IDAC

The APORT gives on-chip analog resources access
to a large number of I/O pins, and provides the system designer with a high degree of routing flexibility.

...

How?
An analog peripheral requests a pad by simply configuring its input/output to use a channel on APORT.
That selection becomes an APORT request where
the APORT control switches the pad and the analog
signal onto a common bus.

27.1 Introduction
APORT consists of wires, switches, and control logic needed to route signals between analog peripherals and I/O pins. On-chip clients
can be either producers or consumers. Analog producers are active devices that drive current/voltage into an APORT, such as current
or voltage DACs. Consumers are passive devices that monitor or react to the current/voltage routed to them via the APORT, such as
ADCs or analog comparators (ACMP).
27.2 Features
• Pins are typically mapped to two different APORT buses
• Arbitration and conflict status provided to each APORT client

Switch control

Figure 27.1. Analog Bus (ABUS)
An analog bus (ABUS) consists of analog switches connected to a common wire as shown in Figure 27.1 Analog Bus (ABUS) on page
921. An APORT consists of multiple ABUSes. Since many clients can operate differentially, buses are grouped by pairs as X and Y. If a
given client uses a single ABUS (e.g. single-ended ADC), X and Y are just labels to differentiate the two buses.
When operating differentially, most APORT clients require that one input be chosen from an X bus and the other from a Y bus. For
example, the ACMP block will not allow both positive and negative inputs to be chosen from X buses.

Figure 27.2. APORT Structure
APORT ABUSes are prefixed with "AP" and are grouped in pairs. Each pair is uniquely identified using a letter prefix ("A", "B", "C", etc.)
followed by either a "X" or "Y" to identify the ABUS in the pair. For example, "APDX" decodes as: "AP"=APORT, "D"=pair, "X"=bus.
Figure 27.2 APORT Structure on page 922 illustrates this organization.
APORT clients are generally described in this reference manual. For example, the ACMP client is described once, but the device could
contain multiple instances of the ACMP. Because of this, for APORT client descriptions in this reference manual, the ABUS connections
are generalized with the prefix "BUS" followed by a number (instead of the "AP" followed by a letter). It is possible that different

APORT - Analog Port
instances of an APORT client connect to different ABUSes. For example, ACMP0 BUS1X might connect to the ABUS APAX while
ACMP1 BUS1X might connect to ABUS APCX. Refer to the APORT Client Map in the device datasheet to map the generalized APORT
client bus name to an actual device ABUS.
A given ABUS has multiple switches which need to be identified. The switches on a bus are specified with the bus name ID followed by
a channel ID. For example, channel switch 7 on a given APORT client might be given as BUS1XCH7. Channels are not always map to
an I/O for a particular device. Refer to the APORT Client Map in the device datasheet for which channels are mapped, and if mapped,
to which I/O.

APORT - Analog Port
27.3.2 Managing ABUSes
The ABUSes of an APORT are shared resources. The user needs to be mindful of this in assigning I/O for different clients throughout
the chip, as it is possible to have conflicts for a given ABUS. Each ABUS has an arbiter responsible for limiting the control over the
ABUS to one and only one client. If multiple clients attempt to control an ABUS, the arbiter allows no client control over the ABUS and
asserts a conflict signal to the clients. The user has the ability to check for such a conflict in each client's status, as well as generate an
interrupt.
Having only one client control an ABUS is not the same as having only one user of an ABUS. It is possible for multiple clients to access
a single ABUS, but requires all but one client to relinquish control of the ABUS. To do this, some clients have bits to disable bus mastership which are 0 by default. One example is the BUSXMASTERDIS bit in the ACMPn_CTRL. When set to 1, the client will not assert
control of the ABUS switches, but may still connect to an ABUS that is controlled by another client.
For example, if an IDAC, ADC, and ACMP all want to use the same pin on a particular ABUS the user might set the bus master disable
bit to 1 for the IDAC and ACMP. The ADC is the sole master of the switch configuration on that ABUS, so switches are configured using
the configuration set in the ADC.

Figure 27.3. APORT Example 1
Figure 27.3 APORT Example 1 on page 924 illustrates the sharing of APORT. For illustration purposes, each ABUS is identified by a
numeric index (instead of APAX, APAY, APBX, etc.). Also, the requests from all the APORT clients are packed into a bit-vector named
BUS_REQ to illustrate the request from the APORT Clients (instead of by name such as BUS1XREQ, BUS1YREQ, BUS2XREQ, etc.).
In Figure 27.3 APORT Example 1 on page 924, ABUS and client are the same color if the client has been granted the ABUS.
In Figure 27.3 APORT Example 1 on page 924 ADC0 has requested ABUS[3:0], ACMP1 has requested ABUS[5:4], ACMP0 has requested ABUS[7], and ABUS[6] is unused. No APORT Client has requested the same ABUS as another, so there is no conflict.

Figure 27.4. APORT Example 2: Bus Conlict
In Figure 27.4 APORT Example 2: Bus Conlict on page 925 is a similar example to Figure 27.3 APORT Example 1 on page 924, but
now both ACMP0 and ADC0 are requesting ABUS[0]. This is a configuration error, so APORT grants neither client ABUS[0]. The user
must resolve the conflict before ABUS[0] is useable.

Figure 27.5. APORT Example 3: Sharing an ABUS
Figure 27.5 APORT Example 3: Sharing an ABUS on page 925 illustrates ABUS sharing. Both ACMPs are configured identically, except ACMP0 has its BUSMASTERDIS bit-field set to 1. There is only one APORT master for ABUS[5:4], so there is no conflict.
