Table 2-2. Core modules
Module

Description

ARM Cortex-M4

The ARM® Cortex®-M4 is the newest member of the Cortex M Series of
processors targeting microcontroller cores focused on very cost sensitive,
deterministic, interrupt driven environments. The Cortex M4 processor is based on
the ARMv7 Architecture and Thumb®-2 ISA and is upward compatible with the
Cortex M3, Cortex M1, and Cortex M0 architectures. Cortex M4 improvements
include an ARMv7 Thumb-2 DSP (ported from the ARMv7-A/R profile
architectures) providing 32-bit instructions with SIMD (single instruction multiple
data) DSP style multiply-accumulates and saturating arithmetic.

NVIC

The ARMv7-M exception model and nested-vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)
implement a relocatable vector table supporting many external interrupts, a single
non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and priority levels.
The NVIC replaces shadow registers with equivalent system and simplified
programmability. The NVIC contains the address of the function to execute for a
particular handler. The address is fetched via the instruction port allowing parallel
register stacking and look-up. The first sixteen entries are allocated to ARM
internal sources with the others mapping to MCU-defined interrupts.

AWIC

The primary function of the Asynchronous Wake-up Interrupt Controller (AWIC) is
to detect asynchronous wake-up events in stop modes and signal to clock control
logic to resume system clocking. After clock restart, the NVIC observes the
pending interrupt and performs the normal interrupt or event processing.

Debug interfaces

Most of this device's debug is based on the ARM CoreSight™ architecture. Four
debug interfaces are supported:
•
•
•
•

IEEE 1149.1 JTAG
IEEE 1149.7 JTAG (cJTAG)
Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
ARM Real-Time Trace Interface

2.2.2 System Modules
The following system modules are available on this device.
Table 2-3. System modules
Module

Description

System integration module (SIM)

The SIM includes integration logic and several module configuration settings.

System mode controller (SMC)

The SMC provides control and protection on entry and exit to each power mode,
control for the Power management controller (PMC), and reset entry and exit for
the complete MCU.

Power management controller (PMC)

The PMC provides the user with multiple power options.Ten different modes are
supported that allow the user to optimize power consumption for the level of
functionality needed. Includes power-on-reset (POR) and integrated low voltage
detect (LVD) with reset (brownout) capability and selectable LVD trip points.

Low-leakage wakeup unit (LLWU)

The LLWU module allows the device to wake from low leakage power modes (LLS
and VLLS) through various internal peripheral and external pin sources.

Miscellaneous control module (MCM)

The MCM includes integration logic and embedded trace buffer details.

Module Functional Categories

Table 2-3. System modules (continued)
Module

Description

Crossbar switch (XBS)

The XBS connects bus masters and bus slaves, allowing all bus masters to access
different bus slaves simultaneously and providing arbitration among the bus
masters when they access the same slave.

Memory protection unit (MPU)

The MPU provides memory protection and task isolation. It concurrently monitors
all bus master transactions for the slave connections.

Peripheral bridges

The peripheral bridge converts the crossbar switch interface to an interface to
access a majority of peripherals on the device.

DMA multiplexer (DMAMUX)

The DMA multiplexer selects from many DMA requests down to a smaller number
for the DMA controller.

Direct memory access (DMA) controller

The DMA controller provides programmable channels with transfer control
descriptors for data movement via dual-address transfers for 8-, 16-, 32- and 128bit data values.

External watchdog monitor (EWM)

The EWM is a redundant mechanism to the software watchdog module that
monitors both internal and external system operation for fail conditions.

Software watchdog (WDOG)

The WDOG monitors internal system operation and forces a reset in case of
failure. It can run from an independent 1 KHz low power oscillator with a
programmable refresh window to detect deviations in program flow or system
frequency.

2.2.3 Memories and Memory Interfaces
The following memories and memory interfaces are available on this device.

Description

Instruction code (ICODE) bus The ICODE and DCODE buses are muxed. This muxed bus is called the CODE bus and is
connected to the crossbar switch via a single master port.
Data code (DCODE) bus
System bus

The system bus is connected to a separate master port on the crossbar.

Private peripheral (PPB) bus

The PPB provides access to these modules:
• ARM modules such as the NVIC, ETM, ITM, DWT, FBP, and ROM table
• Freescale Miscellaneous Control Module (MCM)
• Memory-Mapped Cryptographic Acceleration Unit (MMCAU)

3.2.1.2 System Tick Timer
The System Tick Timer's clock source is always the core clock, FCLK. This results in the
following:
• The CLKSOURCE bit in SysTick Control and Status register is always set to select
the core clock.
• Because the timing reference (FCLK) is a variable frequency, the TENMS bit in the
SysTick Calibration Value Register is always zero.
• The NOREF bit in SysTick Calibration Value Register is always set, implying that
FCLK is the only available source of reference timing.

3.2.1.3 Debug facilities
This device has extensive debug capabilities including run control and tracing
capabilities. The standard ARM debug port that supports JTAG and SWD interfaces.
Also the cJTAG interface is supported on this device.

3.2.1.4 Core privilege levels

value is: IRQ div 32
3. Indicates the NVIC's IPR register number used for this IRQ. The equation to calculate this value is: IRQ div 4

• The NVIC registers you would use to configure the interrupt are:
• NVICISER1
• NVICICER1
• NVICISPR1
• NVICICPR1
• NVICIABR1
• NVICIPR14
• To determine the particular IRQ's bitfield location within these particular registers:
• NVICISER1, NVICICER1, NVICISPR1, NVICICPR1, NVICIABR1 bit
location = IRQ mod 32 = 26
• NVICIPR14 bitfield starting location = 8 * (IRQ mod 4) + 4 = 20
Since the NVICIPR bitfields are 4-bit wide (16 priority levels), the NVICIPR14
bitfield range is 20-23
Therefore, the following bitfield locations are used to configure the LPTMR interrupts:

3.3.4.1 Wake-up Sources
This chip uses the following internal peripheral and external pin inputs as wakeup
sources to the LLWU module:
• LLWU_P0-15 are external pin inputs. Any digital function multiplexed on the pin
can be selected as the wakeup source. See the chip's signal multiplexing table for the
digital signal options.
• LLWU_M0IF-M7IF are connections to the internal peripheral interrupt flags.
NOTE
RESET is also a wakeup source, depending on the bit setting in
the LLWU_RST register. On devices where RESET is not a
dedicated pin, it must also be enabled in the explicit port mux
control.

1. The EZP_CS signal is checked only on Chip Reset not VLLS, so a VLLS wakeup via a non-reset source does not cause
EzPort mode entry. If NMI was enabled on entry to LLS/VLLS, asserting the NMI pin generates an NMI interrupt on exit
from the low power mode.
2. Requires the peripheral and the peripheral interrupt to be enabled. The LLWU's WUME bit enables the internal module flag
as a wakeup input. After wakeup, the flags are cleared based on the peripheral clearing mechanism.

3.3.7.4 Reset Values for RGD0 Registers
At reset, the MPU is enabled with a single region descriptor (RGD0) that maps the entire
4 GB address space with read, write and execute permissions given to the core, debugger
and the DMA bus masters.
The following table shows the chip-specific reset values for RGD0 and RGDAAC0.

RGDAAC0

0061_F7DFh

3.3.7.5 Write Access Restrictions for RGD0 Registers
In addition to configuring the initial state of RGD0, the MPU implements further access
control on writes to the RGD0 registers. Specifically, the MPU assigns a priority scheme
where the debugger is treated as the highest priority master followed by the core and then
all the remaining masters.
The MPU does not allow writes from the core to affect the RGD0 start or end addresses
nor the permissions associated with the debugger; it can only write the permission fields
associated with the other masters.
These protections (summarized below) guarantee that the debugger always has access to
the entire address space and those rights cannot be changed by the core or any other bus
master.

1. For program flash only devices: The addresses shown assume program flash swap is disabled (default configuration).

3.5.1.3 Flash Memory Size Considerations
Since this document covers devices that contain program flash only and devices that
contain program flash and FlexNVM, there are some items to consider when reading the
flash memory chapter.
• The flash memory chapter shows a mixture of information depending on the device
you are using.
• For the program flash only devices:
• Two program flash blocks are supported: block 0 and block 1. The two blocks
are contiguous in the memory map.
• The program flash blocks support a swap feature in which the starting address of
the program flash blocks can be swapped.
• The FlexRAM is not available as EEPROM or traditional RAM. Its space is used
only for programming acceleration through the Program Section command.
• The programming acceleration RAM is used for the Program Section command.
• For the devices containing program flash and FlexNVM:
• Since there is only one program flash block, the program flash swap feature is
not available.

3.5.1.4 Flash Memory Map
The various flash memories and the flash registers are located at different base addresses
as shown in the following figure. The base address for each is specified in System

3.5.1.5 Flash Security
How flash security is implemented on this device is described in Chip Security.

3.5.1.6 Flash Modes
The flash memory operates in NVM normal and NVM special modes. The flash memory
enters NVM special mode when the EzPort is enabled (EZP_CS asserted during reset).
Otherwise, flash memory operates in NVM normal mode.

Chapter 3 Chip Configuration

3.5.1.7 Erase All Flash Contents
An Erase All Flash Blocks operation can be launched by software through a series of
peripheral bus writes to flash registers. In addition the entire flash memory may be erased
external to the flash memory from the SWJ-DP debug port by setting
DAP_CONTROL[0]. DAP_STATUS[0] is set to indicate the mass erase command has
been accepted. DAP_STATUS[0] is cleared when the mass erase completes.
The EzPort can also initiate an erase of flash contents by issuing a bulk erase (BE)
command. See the EzPort chapter for more details.

3.5.1.8 FTFE_FOPT Register
The flash memory's FTFE_FOPT register allows the user to customize the operation of
the MCU at boot time. See FOPT boot options for details of its definition.

3.5.2.1 Number of masters
The Flash Memory Controller supports up to eight crossbar switch masters. However,
this device has a different number of crossbar switch masters. See Crossbar Switch
Configuration for details on the master port assignments.

3.5.2.2 Program Flash Swap
On devices that contain program flash memory only, the program flash memory blocks
may swap their base addresses.
While not using swap:
• FMC_PFB0CR controls the lower code addresses (block 0)
• FMC_PFB1CR controls the upper code addresses (block 1)
If swap is used, the opposite is true:
• FMC_PFB0CR controls the upper code addresses (now in block 0)
• FMC_PFB1CR controls the lower code addresses (now in block 1)

3.5.3.1 SRAM sizes
This device contains SRAM tightly coupled to the ARM Cortex-M4 core. The on-chip
SRAM is split into SRAM_L and SRAM_U regions where the SRAM_L and SRAM_U
ranges form a contiguous block in the memory map anchored at address 0x2000_0000.
As such:
• SRAM_L is anchored to 0x1FFF_FFFF and occupies the space before this ending
address.
• SRAM_U is anchored to 0x2000_0000 and occupies the space after this beginning
address.
NOTE
Misaligned accesses across the 0x2000_0000 boundary are not
supported in the ARM Cortex-M4 architecture.

3.5.3.2 SRAM retention in low power modes
The SRAM is retained down to VLLS3 mode.
In VLLS2 the 32 KB region of SRAM_U from 0x2000_0000 is powered.
In VLLS1 and VLLS0 no SRAM is retained; however, the 32-byte register file is
available.

3.5.3.3 SRAM accesses
The SRAM is split into two logical arrays that are 32-bits wide.
• SRAM_L — Accessible by the code bus of the Cortex-M4 core and by the backdoor
port.
• SRAM_U — Accessible by the system bus of the Cortex-M4 core and by the
backdoor port.
The backdoor port makes the SRAM accessible to the non-core bus masters (such as
DMA).
The following figure illustrates the SRAM accesses within the device.

NOTE
Two non-core masters cannot access SRAM simultaneously.
The required arbitration and serialization is provided by the
crossbar switch. The SRAM_{L,U} arbitration is controlled by
the SRAM controller based on the configuration bits in the
MCM module.
NOTE
Burst-access cannot occur across the 0x2000_0000 boundary
that separates the two SRAM arrays. The two arrays should be
treated as separate memory ranges for burst accesses.

3.5.6.1 JTAG instruction
The system JTAG controller implements an EZPORT instruction. When executing this
instruction, the JTAG controller resets the core logic and asserts the EzPort chip select
signal to force the processor into EzPort mode.

3.5.6.2 Flash Option Register (FOPT)
The FOPT[EZPORT_DIS] bit can be used to prevent entry into EzPort mode during
reset. If the FOPT[EZPORT_DIS] bit is cleared, then the state of the chip select signal
(EZP_CS) is ignored and the MCU always boots in normal mode.
This option is useful for systems that use the EZP_CS/NMI signal configured for its NMI
function. Disabling EzPort mode prevents possible unwanted entry into EzPort mode if
the external circuit that drives the NMI signal asserts it during reset.
The FOPT register is loaded from the flash option byte. If the flash option byte is
modified the new value takes effect for any subsequent resets, until the value is changed
again.

3.5.7.1 FlexBus clocking
The system provides a dedicated clock source to the FlexBus module's external
CLKOUT. Its clock frequency is derived from a divider of the MCGOUTCLK. See
Clock Distribution for more details.

3.5.7.2 FlexBus signal multiplexing
The multiplexing of the FlexBus address and data signals is controlled by the port control
module. However, the multiplexing of some of the FlexBus control signals are controlled
by the port control and FlexBus modules. The port control module registers control
whether the FlexBus or another module signals are available on the external pin, while
the FlexBus's CSPMCR register configures which FlexBus signals are available from the
modules. The control signals are grouped as illustrated:

Therefore, use the CSPMCR and port control registers to configure which control signal
is available on the external pin. All control signals, except for FB_TA, are assigned to the
ALT5 function in the port control module. Since, unlike the other control signals, FB_TA
is an input signal, it is assigned to the ALT6 function.

3.5.7.3 FlexBus CSCR0 reset value
On this device the CSCR0 resets to 0x003F_FC00. Configure this register as needed
before performing any FlexBus access.

3.5.7.4 FlexBus Security
When security is enabled on the device, FlexBus accesses may be restricted by
configuring SIM_SOPT2[FBSL]. See System Integration Module (SIM) for details.

3.5.7.5 FlexBus line transfers
Line transfers are not possible from the ARM Cortex-M4 core. Ignore any references to
line transfers in the FlexBus chapter.

3.7.1.1 ADC instantiation information
This device contains two ADCs.
3.7.1.1.1

Number of ADC channels

The number of ADC channels present on the device is determined by the pinout of the
specific device package. For details regarding the number of ADC channel available on a
particular package, refer to the signal multiplexing chapter of this MCU.

3.7.1.2 DMA Support on ADC
Applications may require continuous sampling of the ADC (4K samples/sec) that may
have considerable load on the CPU. Though using PDB to trigger ADC may reduce some
CPU load, the ADC supports DMA request functionality for higher performance when
the ADC is sampled at a very high rate or cases where PDB is bypassed. The ADC can
trigger the DMA (via DMA req) on conversion completion.

3.7.1.6 ADC Reference Options
The ADC supports the following references:
• VREFH/VREFL - connected as the primary reference option
• 1.2 V VREF_OUT - connected as the VALT reference option
ADCx_SC2[REFSEL] bit selects the voltage reference sources for ADC. Refer to
REFSEL description in ADC chapter for more details.

3.7.1.7 ADC triggers
The ADC supports both software and hardware triggers. The primary hardware
mechanism for triggering the ADC is the PDB. The PDB itself can be triggered by other
peripherals. For example: RTC (Alarm, Seconds) signal is connected to the PDB. The
PDB input trigger can receive the RTC (alarm/seconds) trigger forcing ADC conversions
in run mode (where PDB is enabled). On the other hand, the ADC can conduct
conversions in low power modes, not triggered by PDB. This allows the ADC to do
conversions in low power mode and store the output in the result register. The ADC
generates interrupt when the data is ready in the result register that wakes the system
from low power mode. The PDB can also be bypassed by using the ADCxTRGSEL bits
in the SIM_SOPT7 register.
For operation of triggers in different modes, refer to Power Management chapter.

3.7.1.8 Alternate clock
For this device, the alternate clock is connected to OSCERCLK.
NOTE
This clock option is only usable when OSCERCLK is in the
MHz range. A system with OSCERCLK in the kHz range has
the optional clock source below minimum ADC clock operating
frequency.

Compared with the FTM0 and FTM3 configuration, the FTM1 and FTM2 configuration
adds the Quadrature decoder feature and reduces the number of channels.

3.8.2.2 External Clock Options
By default each FTM is clocked by the internal bus clock (the FTM refers to it as system
clock). Each module contains a register setting that allows the module to be clocked from
an external clock instead. There are two external FTM_CLKINx pins that can be selected
by any FTM module via the SIM_SOPT4 register.

3.8.2.3 Fixed frequency clock
The fixed frequency clock for each FTM is MCGFFCLK.

3.8.2.4 FTM Interrupts
The FlexTimer has multiple sources of interrupt. However, these sources are OR'd
together to generate a single interrupt request per FTM module to the interrupt controller.
When an FTM interrupt occurs, read the FTM status registers (FMS, SC, and STATUS)
to determine the exact interrupt source.

3.8.2.5 FTM Fault Detection Inputs
The following fault detection input options for the FTM modules are selected via the
SIM_SOPT4 register. The external pin option is selected by default.

The FTM synchronization hardware triggers are connected in the chip as follows:
• FTM0 hardware trigger 0 = CMP0 Output or FTM1 Match (when enabled in the
FTM1 External Trigger (EXTTRIG) register)
• FTM0 hardware trigger 1 = PDB channel 1 Trigger Output or FTM2 Match (when
enabled in the FTM2 External Trigger (EXTTRIG) register)
• FTM0 hardware trigger 2 = FTM0_FLT0 pin
• FTM1 hardware trigger 0 = CMP0 Output
• FTM1 hardware trigger 1 = CMP1 Output
• FTM1 hardware trigger 2 = FTM1_FLT0 pin
For the triggers with more than one option, SIM_SOPT4 controls the selection.

3.9.1.1 Ethernet Clocking Options
The Ethernet module uses the following clocks:
• The device's system clock is connected to the module clock, as named in the Ethernet
chapter. The minimum system clock frequency for 100 Mbps operation is
• An externally-supplied 25 MHz MII clock or 50 MHz RMII clock. This clock is used
as the timing reference for the external MII or RMII interface.
• A time-stamping clock for the IEEE 1588 timers.
For more details on the Ethernet module clocking options, see Ethernet Clocking.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

147

Communication interfaces

3.9.1.2 RMII Clocking
On this device, RMII_REF_CLK is internally tied to EXTAL. See Clock Distribution for
clocking requirements.
RMII can also be clocked from IEEE 1588 CLKIN.

3.9.1.3 IEEE 1588 Timers
The ethernet module includes a four channel timer module for IEEE 1588 timestamping.
The timer supports input capture (rising, falling, or both edges), output compare (toggle
or pulse with programmable polarity). The timer matches on greater than or equal (the
1588 can skip numbers, so the counter might not ever exactly match the compare value).
The counter is able to operate asynchronously to the ethernet bus by using one of four
clock sources. See Ethernet Clocking for more details.

3.9.1.4 Ethernet Operation in Low Power Modes
The Ethernet module is not fully operational in any low power modes. However, the
module does support magic packet detection that can generate a wakeup in stop mode if
enabled.
During low power operation:
• The MAC transmit logic is disabled
• The core FIFO receive/transmit functions are disabled
• The MAC receive logic is kept in normal mode, but it ignores all traffic from the line
except magic packets.
The recieve logic needed for magic packet detection is clocked using the externallysupplied MII or RMII clock. This allows for the wakeup functionality in stop mode. No
Ethernet operation, including magic packet wakeup, is supported in VLPx modes.
3.9.1.4.1

IEEE 1588 Timer Operation in Low Power Modes

The 1588 counter and 1588 timer channels can continue operating in low power modes
provided their clock is enabled in that mode.
The 1588 timer channels can also generate an interrupt to exit the low power mode if the
clock is enabled in that mode.

3.9.1.5 Ethernet Doze Mode
The doze mode for the Ethernet module is the same as the wait and VLPW modes for the
chip.

3.9.1.6 Ethernet Interrupts

are OR'd together to generate an interrupt request. See below for a summary:

The event signal output is not supported on this device. Therefore, ATCR[PINPER] has
no effect.

3.9.2 Universal Serial Bus (USB) FS Subsystem
The USB FS subsystem includes these components:
• Dual-role USB OTG-capable (On-The-Go) controller that supports a full-speed (FS)
device or FS/LS host. The module complies with the USB 2.0 specification.
• USB transceiver that includes internal 15 kΩ pulldowns on the D+ and D- lines for
host mode functionality.
• A 3.3 V regulator.
• USB device charger detection module.

NOTE
Use the following code sequence to select USB clock source,
USB clock divide ratio, and enable its clock gate to avoid
potential clock glitches which may result in USB enumeration
stage failure.
1. Select the USB clock source by configuring SIM_SOPT2.
2. Select the desired clock divide ratio by configuring
SIM_CLKDIV2.
3. Enable USB clock gate by setting SIM_SCGC4.

3.9.2.1 USB Wakeup
When the USB detects that there is no activity on the USB bus for more than 3 ms, the
INT_STAT[SLEEP] bit is set. This bit can cause an interrupt and software decides the
appropriate action.
Waking from a low power mode (except in LLS/VLLS mode where USB is not powered)
occurs through an asynchronous interrupt triggered by activity on the USB bus. Setting
the USBTRC0[USBRESMEN] bit enables this function.

3.9.2.2 USB Power Distribution
This chip includes an internal 5 V to 3.3 V USB regulator that powers the USB
transceiver or the MCU (depending on the application).

Clocking Options

CAN_CTRL1[CLKSRC] register bit selects between clocking the FlexCAN from the
internal bus clock or the input clock (OSCERCLK). In this case, a clock source with PLL
FM jitter must not be used.
3.9.3.3.2

Clock Gating

The clock to each CAN module can be gated on and off using the SCGCn[CANx] bits.
These bits are cleared after any reset, which disables the clock to the corresponding
module. The appropriate clock enable bit should be set by software at the beginning of
the FlexCAN initialization routine to enable the module clock before attempting to
initialize any of the FlexCAN registers.

3.9.3.5 FlexCAN Operation in Low Power Modes
The FlexCAN module is operational in VLPR and VLPW modes. With the 2 MHz bus
clock, the fastest supported FlexCAN transfer rate is 250 kbps. The bit timing parameters
in the module must be adjusted for the new frequency, but full functionality is possible.
FlexCAN requires certain clock tolerances to enable proper CAN bus communications
without errors. The specific tolerances are specific to the CAN bit timing settings used in
a system and calculations are outlined in the CAN specification. To maximize reliability,
it is recommended that if using a PLL with FM jitter control, this should be turned off.
The FlexCAN module can be configured to generate a wakeup interrupt in STOP and
VLPS modes. When the FlexCAN is configured to generate a wakeup, a recessive to
dominant transition on the CAN bus generates an interrupt.

3.9.3.6 FlexCAN Doze Mode
The Doze mode for the FlexCAN module is the same as the Wait and VLPW modes for
the chip.

3.9.4.1 SPI Modules Configuration
This device contains three SPI modules.

3.9.4.2 SPI clocking
The SPI module is clocked by the internal bus clock (the DSPI refers to it as system
clock). The module has an internal divider, with a minimum divide is two. So, the SPI
can run at a maximum frequency of bus clock/2.

3.9.4.3 Number of CTARs
SPI CTAR registers define different transfer attribute configurations. The SPI module
supports up to eight CTAR registers. This device supports two CTARs on all instances of
the SPI.
In master mode, the CTAR registers define combinations of transfer attributes, such as
frame size, clock phase, clock polarity, data bit ordering, baud rate, and various delays. In
slave mode only CTAR0 is used, and a subset of its bitfields sets the slave transfer
attributes.

3.9.4.7 SPI Operation in Low Power Modes
In VLPR and VLPW modes the SPI is functional; however, the reduced system
frequency also reduces the max frequency of operation for the SPI. In VLPR and VLPW
modes the max SPI_CLK frequency is 2MHz.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

159

Communication interfaces

In stop and VLPS modes, the clocks to the SPI module are disabled. The module is not
functional, but it is powered so that it retains state.
There is one way to wake from stop mode via the SPI, which is explained in the
following section.
3.9.4.7.1

Using GPIO Interrupt to Wake from stop mode

Here are the steps to use a GPIO to create a wakeup upon reception of SPI data in slave
mode:
1. Point the GPIO interrupt vector to the desired interrupt handler.
2. Enable the GPIO input to generate an interrupt on either the rising or falling edge
(depending on the polarity of the chip select signal).
3. Enter Stop or VLPS mode and Wait for the GPIO interrupt.
NOTE
It is likely that in using this approach the first word of data from
the SPI host might not be received correctly. This is dependent
on the transfer rate used for the SPI, the delay between chip
select assertion and presentation of data, and the system
interrupt latency.

3.9.4.8 SPI Doze Mode
The Doze mode for the SPI module is the same as the Wait and VLPW modes for the
chip.

3.9.4.9 SPI Interrupts
The SPI has multiple sources of interrupt requests. However, these sources are OR'd
together to generate a single interrupt request per SPI module to the interrupt controller.
When an SPI interrupt occurs, read the SPI_SR to determine the exact interrupt source.

3.9.7.1 SDHC clocking
In addition to the system clock, the SDHC needs a clock for the base for the external card
clock. There are four possible clock sources for this clock, selected by the SIM_SOPT2
register:
•
•
•
•

Core/system clock
MCGPLLCLK or MCGFLLCLK
OSCERCLK
Bypass clock from off-chip (SDHC0_CLKIN)

3.9.7.2 SD bus pullup/pulldown constraints
The SD standard requires the SD bus signals (except the SD clock) to be pulled up during
data transfers. The SDHC also provides a feature of detecting card insertion/removal, by
detecting voltage level changes on DAT[3] of the SD bus. To support this DAT[3] must
be pulled down. To avoid a situation where the SDHC detects voltage changes due to
normal data transfers on the SD bus as card insertion/removal, the interrupt relating to
this event must be disabled after the card has been inserted and detected. It can be reenabled after the card is removed.

3.9.8 I2S configuration
This section summarizes how the module has been configured in the chip. For a

3.9.8.1 Instantiation information
This device contains one I2S module.
As configured on the device, module features include:
• TX data lines: 2
• RX data lines: 2
• FIFO size (words): 8
• Maximum words per frame: 32

3.9.8.2 I2S/SAI clocking
3.9.8.2.1

Audio Master Clock

The audio master clock (MCLK) is used to generate the bit clock when the receiver or
transmitter is configured for an internally generated bit clock. The audio master clock can
also be output to or input from a pin. The transmitter and receiver have the same audio
master clock inputs.

Chapter 3 Chip Configuration

3.9.8.2.2

Bit Clock

The I2S/SAI transmitter and receiver support asynchronous bit clocks (BCLKs) that can
be generated internally from the audio master clock or supplied externally. The module
also supports the option for synchronous operation between the receiver and transmitter
product.
3.9.8.2.3

Bus Clock

The bus clock is used by the control registers and to generate synchronous interrupts and
DMA requests.
3.9.8.2.4

I2S/SAI clock generation

Each SAI peripheral can control the input clock selection, pin direction and divide ratio
of one audio master clock.
The MCLK Input Clock Select bit of the MCLK Control Register (MCR[MICS]) selects
the clock input to the I2S/SAI module’s MCLK divider.
The following table shows the input clock selection options on this device.

MCGPLLCLK or MCGFLLCLK

The module's MCLK Divide Register (MDR) configures the MCLK divide ratio.
The module's MCLK Output Enable bit of the MCLK Control Register (MCR[MOE])
controls the direction of the MCLK pin. The pin is the input from the pin when MOE is 0,
and the pin is the output from the clock divider when MOE is 1.
The transmitter and receiver can independently select between the bus clock and the
audio master clock to generate the bit clock. Each module's Clocking Mode field of the
Transmit Configuration 2 Register and Receive Configuration 2 Register (TCR2[MSEL]
and RCR2[MSEL]) selects the master clock.

Clock gating and I2S/SAI initialization

The clock to the I2S/SAI module can be gated using a bit in the SIM. To minimize power
consumption, these bits are cleared after any reset, which disables the clock to the
corresponding module. The clock enable bit should be set by software at the beginning of
the module initialization routine to enable the module clock before initialization of any of
the I2S/SAI registers.

3.9.8.3 I2S/SAI operation in low power modes
3.9.8.3.1

Stop and very low power modes

In Stop mode, the SAI transmitter and/or receiver can continue operating provided the
appropriate Stop Enable bit is set (TCSR[STOPE] and/or RCSR[STOPE], respectively),
and provided the transmitter and/or receiver is/are using an externally generated bit clock
or an Audio Master Clock that remains operating in Stop mode. The SAI transmitter and/
or receiver can generate an asynchronous interrupt to wake the CPU from Stop mode.
In VLPS mode, the module behaves as it does in stop mode if VLPS mode is entered
from run mode. However, if VLPS mode is entered from VLPR mode, the FIFO might
underflow or overflow before wakeup from stop mode due to the limits in bus bandwidth.
In VLPW and VLPR modes, the module is limited by the maximum bus clock
frequencies.
When operating from an internally generated bit clock or Audio Master Clock that is
disabled in stop modes:

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
168

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 3 Chip Configuration

In Stop mode, if the Transmitter Stop Enable (TCSR[STOPE]) bit is clear, the transmitter
is disabled after completing the current transmit frame, and, if the Receiver Stop Enable
(RCSR[STOPE]) bit is clear, the receiver is disabled after completing the current receive
frame. Entry into Stop mode is prevented–not acknowledged–while waiting for the
transmitter and receiver to be disabled at the end of the current frame.

3.9.8.3.2

Low-leakage modes

When entering low-leakage modes, the Stop Enable (TCSR[STOPE] and
RCSR[STOPE]) bits are ignored and the SAI is disabled after completing the current
transmit and receive Frames. Entry into stop mode is prevented (not acknowledged)
while waiting for the transmitter and receiver to be disabled at the end of the current
frame.

Chapter 4
Memory Map
4.1 Introduction
This device contains various memories and memory-mapped peripherals which are
located in one 32-bit contiguous memory space. This chapter describes the memory and
peripheral locations within that memory space.

4.2 System memory map
The following table shows the high-level device memory map. This map provides the
complete architectural address space definition for the various sections. Based on the
physical sizes of the memories and peripherals, the actual address regions used may be
smaller.
The system memory map includes multiple aliased address spaces that are intended for
specific purposes.
• There are two FlexBus aliased address spaces that are mapped into the ICode regions
(address < 0x2000_0000) for code sections that are normally located in the system
region of the memory map (address >= 0x2000_0000). The two subsets of FlexBus
space are aliased so they appear in the ICode region so instructions mapped into this
space can be executed with maximum performance.
• There is an aliased region that maps a system address space to the Program flash
section. On devices with FlexNVM there is also an aliased region that maps a system
address space to the FlexNVM flash section. This is complementary to the previous
FlexBus example. Flash region aliasing is specifically intended for references to

read-only data coefficients in the flash while still preserving a full Harvard memory
organization in the processor core supporting concurrent instruction fetches (for
example, from RAM) and data accesses (from flash via the aliased space).
• The bitbanding functionality supported by the processor core uses aliased regions
that map to the basic RAM and peripheral address spaces. This functionality maps
each 32-bit word of the aliased address space to a unique bit in the underlying RAM
or peripheral address space to support single-bit insert and extract operations from
the processor.

1. This map provides the complete architectural address space definition for the flash. Based on the physical sizes of the
memories implemented for a particular device, the actual address regions used may be smaller. See Flash Memory Sizes
for details.
2. This range varies depending on the amount of SRAM implemented for a particular device. See SRAM sizes for details.

NOTE
1. EzPort master port is statically muxed with DMA master
port. Access rights to AIPS-Lite peripheral bridge and
general purpose input/output (GPIO) module address space
is limited to the core, DMA and EzPort.
2. ARM Cortex-M4 core access privileges also includes
accesses via the debug interface.

4.2.1 Aliased bit-band regions
The SRAM_U, AIPS-Lite, and general purpose input/output (GPIO) module resources
reside in the Cortex-M4 processor bit-band regions.
The processor also includes two 32 MB aliased bit-band regions associated with the two
1 MB bit-band spaces. Each 32-bit location in the 32 MB space maps to an individual bit
in the bit-band region. A 32-bit write in the alias region has the same effect as a readmodify-write operation on the targeted bit in the bit-band region.
Bit 0 of the value written to the alias region determines what value is written to the target
bit:
• Writing a value with bit 0 set writes a 1 to the target bit.
• Writing a value with bit 0 clear writes a 0 to the target bit.
A 32-bit read in the alias region returns either:
• a value of 0x0000_0000 to indicate the target bit is clear
• a value of 0x0000_0001 to indicate the target bit is set

4.4 SRAM memory map
The on-chip RAM is split in two regions: SRAM_L and SRAM_U. The RAM is
implemented such that the SRAM_L and SRAM_U ranges form a contiguous block in
the memory map. See SRAM Configuration for details.
Accesses to the SRAM_L and SRAM_U memory ranges outside the amount of RAM on
the device causes the bus cycle to be terminated with an error followed by the appropriate
response in the requesting bus master.

Peripheral bridge (AIPS-Lite0 and AIPS-Lite1) memory map

4.5 Peripheral bridge (AIPS-Lite0 and AIPS-Lite1) memory
map
The peripheral memory map is accessible via two slave ports on the crossbar switch in
the 0x4000_0000–0x400F_FFFF region. The device implements two peripheral bridges
(AIPS-Lite 0 and 1):
• AIPS-Lite0 covers 512 KB
• AIPS-Lite1 covers 508 KB with 4 KB assigned to the general purpose input/output
module (GPIO)
AIPS-Lite0 is connected to crossbar switch slave port 2, and is accessible at locations
0x4000_0000–0x4007_FFFF.
AIPS-Lite1 and the general purpose input/output module share the connection to crossbar
switch slave port 3. The AIPS-Lite1 is accessible at locations 0x4008_0000–
0x400F_EFFF. The general purpose input/output module is accessible in a 4-kbyte region
at 0x400F_F000–0x400F_FFFF. Its direct connection to the crossbar switch provides
master access without incurring wait states associated with accesses via the AIPS-Lite
controllers.
Modules that are disabled via their clock gate control bits in the SIM registers disable the
associated AIPS slots. Access to any address within an unimplemented or disabled
peripheral bridge slot results in a transfer error termination.
For programming model accesses via the peripheral bridges, there is generally only a
small range within the 4 KB slots that is implemented. Accessing an address that is not
implemented in the peripheral results in a transfer error termination.

4.5.1 Read-after-write sequence and required serialization of
memory operations
In some situations, a write to a peripheral must be completed fully before a subsequent
action can occur. Examples of such situations include:
• Exiting an interrupt service routine (ISR)
• Changing a mode
• Configuring a function
In these situations, the application software must perform a read-after-write sequence to
guarantee the required serialization of the memory operations:
1. Write the peripheral register.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
176

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 4 Memory Map

2. Read the written peripheral register to verify the write.
3. Continue with subsequent operations.
NOTE
One factor contributing to these situations is processor write
buffering. The processor architecture has a programmable
configuration bit to disable write buffering:
ACTLR[DISDEFWBUF]. However, disabling buffered writes
is likely to degrade system performance much more than simply
performing the required memory serialization for the situations
that truly require it.

Clock Distribution
5.1 Introduction
The MCG module controls which clock source is used to derive the system clocks. The
clock generation logic divides the selected clock source into a variety of clock domains,
including the clocks for the system bus masters, system bus slaves, and flash memory .
The clock generation logic also implements module-specific clock gating to allow
granular shutoff of modules.
The primary clocks for the system are generated from the MCGOUTCLK clock. The
clock generation circuitry provides several clock dividers that allow different portions of
the device to be clocked at different frequencies. This allows for trade-offs between
performance and power dissipation.
Various modules, such as the USB OTG Controller, have module-specific clocks that can
be generated from the IRC48MCLK or MCGPLLCLK or MCGFLLCLK clock. In
addition, there are various other module-specific clocks that have other alternate sources.
Clock selection for most modules is controlled by the SOPT registers in the SIM module.

5.2 Programming model
The selection and multiplexing of system clock sources is controlled and programmed via
the MCG module. The setting of clock dividers and module clock gating for the system
are programmed via the SIM module. Reference those sections for detailed register and
bit descriptions.

5.3 High-Level device clocking diagram
The following system oscillator, MCG, and SIM module registers control the
multiplexers, dividers, and clock gates shown in the below figure:

5.5.1 Clock divider values after reset
Each clock divider is programmed via the SIM module’s CLKDIVn registers. The flash
memory's FTF_FOPT[LPBOOT] bit controls the reset value of the core clock, system
clock, bus clock, and flash clock dividers as shown below:
FTF_FOPT
[LPBOOT]

Core/system

Bus clock

FlexBus clock

Flash clock

Description

Low power boot

0x0 (divide by 1)

0x0 (divide by 1)

0x1 (divide by 2)

0x1 (divide by 2)

Fast clock boot

This gives the user flexibility for a lower frequency, low-power boot option. The flash
erased state defaults to fast clocking mode, since where the low power boot
(FTF_FOPT[LPBOOT]) bit resides in flash is logic 1 in the flash erased state.
To enable the low power boot option program FTF_FOPT[LPBOOT] to zero. During the
reset sequence, if LPBOOT is cleared, the system is in a slow clock configuration. Upon
any system reset, the clock dividers return to this configurable reset state.

5.5.2 VLPR mode clocking
The clock dividers cannot be changed while in VLPR mode. They must be programmed
prior to entering VLPR mode to guarantee:
• the core/system, FlexBus, and bus clocks are less than or equal to 4 MHz, and
• the flash memory clock is less than or equal to 1 MHz
NOTE
When the MCG is in BLPI and clocking is derived from the
Fast IRC, the clock divider controls, MCG_SC[FCRDIV] and
SIM_CLKDIV1[OUTDIV4], must be programmed such that
the resulting flash clock nominal frequency is 800 kHz or less.
In this case, one example of correct configuration is
MCG_SC[FCRDIV]=000b and
SIM_CLKDIV1[OUTDIV4]=0100b, resulting in a divide by 5
setting.

5.6 Clock Gating
The clock to each module can be individually gated on and off using the SIM module's
SCGCx registers. These bits are cleared after any reset, which disables the clock to the
corresponding module to conserve power. Prior to initializing a module, set the
corresponding bit in SCGCx register to enable the clock. Before turning off the clock,
make sure to disable the module.
Any bus access to a peripheral that has its clock disabled generates an error termination.

Chapter 5 Clock Distribution

5.7.1 PMC 1-kHz LPO clock
The Power Management Controller (PMC) generates a 1-kHz clock that is enabled in all
modes of operation, including all low power modes. This 1-kHz source is commonly
referred to as LPO clock or 1-kHz LPO clock.

5.7.2 IRC 48MHz clock
The integrated 48 MHz internal reference clock source (IRC48MCLK) is available in
Run, and WAIT modes of operation. IRC48MCLK is forced disabled when the MCU
transitions into VLPS , LLSx, and VLLSx low power modes.
NOTE
IRC48MCLK is not forced disabled in Stop modes and should
be disabled by software prior to Stop entry unless it is required.
IRC48MCLK is not forced disabled in VLPR and should be
disabled by software prior to VLPR entry.
IRC48MCLK is enabled via the following control settings while operating in these
clocking modes:
• USB Control register enables — enabled when
USB_CLK_RECOVER_IRC_EN[IRC_EN]=1
• or MCG Control register selects IRC48 MHz clock — enabled when
MCG_C7[OSCSEL]=10
• or SIM Control register selects IRC48 MHz clock — enabled when
SIM_SOPT2[PLLFLLSEL]=11
In USB Device applications, the IRC48M block can be enabled in USB Clock Recovery
mode in which the internal IRC48M oscillator is tuned to match the clock extracted from
the incoming USB data stream. This functionality provides the capability of generating a
high precision 48MHz clock source without requiring an on-chip PLL or an associated
off-chip crystal circuit.
The IRC48MCLK is also available for use as:
• An oscillator reference to the MCG - from which core, system, bus, and flash clock
sources can be derived
• An input to the PLL/FLL clock, which is used by various modules

also be output to or input from a pin. The transmitter and receiver have the same audio
master clock inputs.
Each SAI peripheral can control the input clock selection, pin direction and divide ratio
of one audio master clock.
The I2S/SAI transmitter and receiver support asynchronous bit clocks (BCLKs) that can
be generated internally from the audio master clock or supplied externally. The module
also supports the option for synchronous operation between the receiver and transmitter
product.
The transmitter and receiver can independently select between the bus clock and the
audio master clock to generate the bit clock.

Reset

6.2 Reset
This section discusses basic reset mechanisms and sources. Some modules that cause
resets can be configured to cause interrupts instead. Consult the individual peripheral
chapters for more information.

6.2.1 Power-on reset (POR)
When power is initially applied to the MCU or when the supply voltage drops below the
power-on reset re-arm voltage level (VPOR), the POR circuit causes a POR reset
condition.
As the supply voltage rises, the LVD circuit holds the MCU in reset until the supply has
risen above the LVD low threshold (VLVDL). The POR and LVD bits in SRS0 register are
set following a POR.

6.2.2 System reset sources
Resetting the MCU provides a way to start processing from a known set of initial
conditions. System reset begins with the on-chip regulator in full regulation and system
clocking generation from an internal reference. When the processor exits reset, it
performs the following:
• Reads the start SP (SP_main) from vector-table offset 0
• Reads the start PC from vector-table offset 4
• LR is set to 0xFFFF_FFFF
The on-chip peripheral modules are disabled and the non-analog I/O pins are initially
configured as disabled. The pins with analog functions assigned to them default to their
analog function after reset.
During and following a reset, the JTAG pins have their associated input pins configured
as:
• TDI in pull-up (PU)
• TCK in pull-down (PD)
• TMS in PU
and associated output pin configured as:
• TDO with no pull-down or pull-up

Chapter 6 Reset and Boot

Note that the nTRST signal is initially configured as disabled, however once configured
to its JTAG functionality its associated input pin is configured as:
• nTRST in PU

6.2.2.1 External pin reset (PIN)
On this device, RESET is a dedicated pin. This pin is open drain and has an internal
pullup device. Asserting RESET wakes the device from any mode. During a pin reset, the
RCM's SRS0[PIN] bit is set.
6.2.2.1.1

Reset pin filter

The RESET pin filter supports filtering from both the 1 kHz LPO clock and the bus
clock. A separate filter is implemented for each clock source. In stop and VLPS mode
operation, this logic either switches to bypass operation or has continued filtering
operation depending on the filtering mode selected. In low leakage stop modes, a separate
LPO filter in the LLWU can continue filtering the RESET pin.
The RPFC[RSTFLTSS], RPFC[RSTFLTSRW], and RPFW[RSTFLTSEL] fields in the
reset control (RCM) register set control this functionality; see the RCM chapter. The
filters are asynchronously reset by Chip POR. The reset value for each filter assumes the
RESET pin is negated.
The two clock options for the RESET pin filter when the chip is not in low leakage
modes are the LPO (1 kHz) and bus clock. For low leakage modes VLLS3, VLLS2,
VLLS1, VLLS0, the LLWU provides control (in the LLWU_RST register) of an optional
fixed digital filter running the LPO. When entering VLLS0, the RESET pin filter is
disabled and bypassed.
The LPO filter has a fixed filter value of 3. Due to a synchronizer on the input data, there
is also some associated latency (2 cycles). As a result, 5 cycles are required to complete a
transition from low to high or high to low.
The bus filter initializes to off (logic 1) when the bus filter is not enabled. The bus clock
is used when the filter selects bus clock, and the number of counts is controlled by the
RCM's RPFW[RSTFLTSEL] field.

Reset

6.2.2.2 Low-voltage detect (LVD)
The chip includes a system for managing low voltage conditions to protect memory
contents and control MCU system states during supply voltage variations. The system
consists of a power-on reset (POR) circuit and an LVD circuit with a user-selectable trip
voltage. The LVD system is always enabled in normal run, wait, or stop mode. The LVD
system is disabled when entering VLPx, LLS, or VLLSx modes.
The LVD can be configured to generate a reset upon detection of a low voltage condition
by setting the PMC's LVDSC1[LVDRE] bit to 1. The low voltage detection threshold is
determined by the PMC's LVDSC1[LVDV] field. After an LVD reset has occurred, the
LVD system holds the MCU in reset until the supply voltage has risen above the low
voltage detection threshold. The RCM's SRS0[LVD] bit is set following either an LVD
reset or POR.

6.2.2.3 Computer operating properly (COP) watchdog timer
The computer operating properly (COP) watchdog timer (WDOG) monitors the operation
of the system by expecting periodic communication from the software. This
communication is generally known as servicing (or refreshing) the COP watchdog. If this
periodic refreshing does not occur, the watchdog issues a system reset. The COP reset
causes the RCM's SRS0[WDOG] bit to set.

6.2.2.4 Low leakage wakeup (LLWU)
The LLWU module provides the means for a number of external pins, the RESET pin,
and a number of internal peripherals to wake the MCU from low leakage power modes.
The LLWU module is functional only in low leakage power modes.
• In LLS mode, only the RESET pin via the LLWU can generate a system reset.
• In VLLSx modes, all enabled inputs to the LLWU can generate a system reset.
After a system reset, the LLWU retains the flags indicating the input source of the last
wakeup until the user clears them.
NOTE
Some flags are cleared in the LLWU and some flags are
required to be cleared in the peripheral module. Refer to the
individual peripheral chapters for more information.

Chapter 6 Reset and Boot

6.2.2.5 Multipurpose clock generator loss-of-clock (LOC)
The MCG module supports an external reference clock.
If the C6[CME] bit in the MCG module is set, the clock monitor is enabled. If the
external reference falls below floc_low or floc_high, as controlled by the C2[RANGE] field
in the MCG module, the MCU resets. The RCM's SRS0[LOC] bit is set to indicate this
reset source.
NOTE
To prevent unexpected loss of clock reset events, all clock
monitors should be disabled before entering any low power
modes, including VLPR and VLPW.

6.2.2.6 MCG loss-of-lock (LOL) reset
The MCG includes a PLL loss-of-lock detector. The detector is enabled when configured
for PEE and lock has been achieved. If the MCG_C8[LOLRE] bit in the MCG module is
set and the PLL lock status bit (MCG_S[LOLS0]) becomes set, the MCU resets. The
RCM_SRS0[LOL] bit is set to indicate this reset source.
NOTE
This reset source does not cause a reset if the chip is in any stop
mode.

6.2.2.7 Stop mode acknowledge error (SACKERR)
This reset is generated if the core attempts to enter stop mode, but not all modules
acknowledge stop mode within 1025 cycles of the 1 kHz LPO clock.
A module might not acknowledge the entry to stop mode if an error condition occurs. The
error can be caused by a failure of an external clock input to a module.

6.2.2.8 Software reset (SW)
The SYSRESETREQ bit in the NVIC application interrupt and reset control register can
be set to force a software reset on the device. (See ARM's NVIC documentation for the
full description of the register fields, especially the VECTKEY field requirements.)
Setting SYSRESETREQ generates a software reset request. This reset forces a system
reset of all major components except for the debug module. A software reset causes the
RCM's SRS1[SW] bit to set.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Reset

6.2.2.9 Lockup reset (LOCKUP)
The LOCKUP gives immediate indication of seriously errant kernel software. This is the
result of the core being locked because of an unrecoverable exception following the
activation of the processor’s built in system state protection hardware.
The LOCKUP condition causes a system reset and also causes the RCM's
SRS1[LOCKUP] bit to set.

6.2.2.10 EzPort reset
The EzPort supports a system reset request via EzPort signaling. The EzPort generates a
system reset request following execution of a Reset Chip (RESET) command via the
EzPort interface. This method of reset allows the chip to boot from flash memory after it
has been programmed by an external source. The EzPort is enabled or disabled by the
EZP_CS pin.
An EzPort reset causes the RCM's SRS1[EZPT] bit to set.

6.2.2.11 MDM-AP system reset request
Set the system reset request bit in the MDM-AP control register to initiate a system reset.
This is the primary method for resets via the JTAG/SWD interface. The system reset is
held until this bit is cleared.
Set the core hold reset bit in the MDM-AP control register to hold the core in reset as the
rest of the chip comes out of system reset.

6.2.3 MCU Resets
A variety of resets are generated by the MCU to reset different modules.

6.2.3.1 VBAT POR
The VBAT POR asserts on a VBAT POR reset source. It affects only the modules within
the VBAT power domain: RTC and VBAT Register File. These modules are not affected
by the other reset types.

Chapter 6 Reset and Boot

6.2.3.2 POR Only
The POR Only reset asserts on the POR reset source only. It resets the PMC and System
Register File.
The POR Only reset also causes all other reset types (except VBAT POR) to occur.

6.2.3.3 Chip POR not VLLS
The Chip POR not VLLS reset asserts on POR and LVD reset sources. It resets parts of
the SMC and SIM. It also resets the LPTMR.
The Chip POR not VLLS reset also causes these resets to occur: Chip POR, Chip Reset
not VLLS, and Chip Reset (including Early Chip Reset).

6.2.3.4 Chip POR
The Chip POR asserts on POR, LVD, and VLLS Wakeup reset sources. It resets the
Reset Pin Filter registers and parts of the SIM and MCG.
The Chip POR also causes the Chip Reset (including Early Chip Reset) to occur.

6.2.3.5 Chip Reset not VLLS
The Chip Reset not VLLS reset asserts on all reset sources except a VLLS Wakeup that
does not occur via the RESET pin. It resets parts of the SMC, LLWU, and other modules
that remain powered during VLLS mode.
The Chip Reset not VLLS reset also causes the Chip Reset (including Early Chip Reset)
to occur.

6.2.3.6 Early Chip Reset
The Early Chip Reset asserts on all reset sources. It resets only the flash memory module.
It negates before flash memory initialization begins ("earlier" than when the Chip Reset
negates).

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Reset

6.2.3.7 Chip Reset
Chip Reset asserts on all reset sources and only negates after flash initialization has
completed and the RESET pin has also negated. It resets the remaining modules (the
modules not reset by other reset types).

6.2.4 Reset Pin
For all reset sources except a VLLS Wakeup that does not occur via the RESET pin, the
RESET pin is driven low by the MCU for at least 128 bus clock cycles and until flash
initialization has completed.
After flash initialization has completed, the RESET pin is released, and the internal Chip
Reset negates after the RESET pin is pulled high. Keeping the RESET pin asserted
externally delays the negation of the internal Chip Reset.

6.2.5 Debug resets
The following sections detail the debug resets available on the device.

6.2.5.1 JTAG reset
The JTAG module generate a system reset when certain IR codes are selected. This
functional reset is asserted when EzPort, EXTEST, HIGHZ and CLAMP instructions are
active. The reset source from the JTAG module is released when any other IR code is
selected. A JTAG reset causes the RCM's SRS1[JTAG] bit to set.

6.2.5.2 nTRST reset
The nTRST pin causes a reset of the JTAG logic when asserted. Asserting the nTRST pin
allows the debugger to gain control of the TAP controller state machine (after exiting
LLS or VLLSx) without resetting the state of the debug modules.
The nTRST pin does not cause a system reset.

6.3.2 Boot options
The device's functional mode is controlled by the state of the EzPort chip select
(EZP_CS) pin during reset.
The device can be in single chip (default) or serial flash programming mode (EzPort).
While in single chip mode the device can be in run or various low power modes
mentioned in Power mode transitions.

6.3.3 FOPT boot options
The flash option register (FOPT) in the flash memory module allows the user to
customize the operation of the MCU at boot time. The register contains read-only bits
that are loaded from the NVM's option byte in the flash configuration field. The user can
reprogram the option byte in flash to change the FOPT values that are used for
subsequent resets. For more details on programming the option byte, refer to the flash
memory chapter.
The MCU uses the FOPT register bits to configure the device at reset as shown in the
following table.

6.3.4 Boot sequence
At power up, the on-chip regulator holds the system in a POR state until the input supply
is above the POR threshold. The system continues to be held in this static state until the
internally regulated supplies have reached a safe operating voltage as determined by the
LVD. The Mode Controller reset logic then controls a sequence to exit reset.
1. A system reset is held on internal logic, the RESET pin is driven out low, and the
MCG is enabled in its default clocking mode.
2. Required clocks are enabled (Core Clock, System Clock, Flash Clock, and any Bus
Clocks that do not have clock gate control).
3. The system reset on internal logic continues to be held, but the Flash Controller is
released from reset and begins initialization operation while the Mode Control logic
continues to drive the RESET pin out low for a count of ~128 Bus Clock cycles.
4. The RESET pin is released, but the system reset of internal logic continues to be held
until the Flash Controller finishes initialization. EzPort mode is selected instead of
the normal CPU execution if EZP_CS is low when the internal reset is deasserted.

EzPort mode can be disabled by programming the FOPT[EZPORT_DIS] field in the
Flash Memory module.
When Flash Initialization completes, the RESET pin is observed. If RESET
continues to be asserted (an indication of a slow rise time on the RESET pin or
external drive in low), the system continues to be held in reset. Once the RESET pin
is detected high, the system is released from reset.
At release of system reset, clocking is switched to a slow clock if the
FOPT[LPBOOT] field in the Flash Memory module is configured for Low Power
Boot
When the system exits reset, the processor sets up the stack, program counter (PC),
and link register (LR). The processor reads the start SP (SP_main) from vector-table
offset 0. The core reads the start PC from vector-table offset 4. LR is set to
0xFFFF_FFFF. What happens next depends on the NMI input and the
FOPT[NMI_DIS] field in the Flash Memory module:
• If the NMI input is high or the NMI function is disabled in the NMI_DIS field,
the CPU begins execution at the PC location.
• If the NMI input is low and the NMI function is enabled in the NMI_DIS field,
this results in an NMI interrupt. The processor executes an Exception Entry and
reads the NMI interrupt handler address from vector-table offset 8. The CPU
begins execution at the NMI interrupt handler.
If FlexNVM is enabled, the flash controller continues to restore the FlexNVM data.
This data is not available immediately out of reset and the system should not access
this data until the flash controller completes this initialization step as indicated by the
EEERDY flag.

Subsequent system resets follow this reset flow beginning with the step where system
clocks are enabled.

Power Management
7.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the various chip power modes and functionality of the individual
modules in these modes.

7.2 Power Modes Description
The power management controller (PMC) provides multiple power options to allow the
user to optimize power consumption for the level of functionality needed.
Depending on the stop requirements of the user application, a variety of stop modes are
available that provide state retention, partial power down or full power down of certain
logic and/or memory. I/O states are held in all modes of operation. The following table
compares the various power modes available.
For Run and VLPR mode there is a corresponding wait and stop mode. Wait modes are
similar to ARM sleep modes. Stop modes (VLPS, STOP) are similar to ARM sleep deep
mode. The very low power run (VLPR) operating mode can drastically reduce runtime
power when the maximum bus frequency is not required to handle the application needs.
The three primary modes of operation are run, wait and stop. The WFI instruction
invokes both wait and stop modes for the chip. The primary modes are augmented in a
number of ways to provide lower power based on application needs.

1. Resumes normal run mode operation by executing the LLWU interrupt service routine.
2. Follows the reset flow with the LLWU interrupt flag set for the NVIC.

7.3 Entering and exiting power modes
The WFI instruction invokes wait and stop modes for the chip. The processor exits the
low-power mode via an interrupt. The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
describes interrupt operation and what peripherals can cause interrupts.
NOTE
The WFE instruction can have the side effect of entering a lowpower mode, but that is not its intended usage. See ARM
documentation for more on the WFE instruction.
Recovery from VLLSx is through the wake-up Reset event. The chip wake-ups from
VLLSx by means of reset, an enabled pin or enabled module. See the table "LLWU
inputs" in the LLWU configuration section for a list of the sources.
The wake-up flow from VLLSx is through reset. The wakeup bit in the SRS registers in
the RCM is set indicating that the chip is recovering from a low power mode. Code
execution begins; however, the I/O pins are held in their pre low power mode entry
states, and the system oscillator and MCG registers are reset (even if EREFSTEN had
been set before entering VLLSx). Software must clear this hold by writing a 1 to the
ACKISO bit in the Regulator Status and Control Register in the PMC module.
NOTE
To avoid unwanted transitions on the pins, software must reinitialize the I/O pins to their pre-low-power mode entry states
before releasing the hold.

215

Power mode transitions

If the oscillator was configured to continue running during VLLSx modes, it must be reconfigured before the ACKISO bit is cleared. The oscillator configuration within the
MCG is cleared after VLLSx recovery and the oscillator will stop when ACKISO is
cleared unless the register is re-configured.

7.4 Power mode transitions
The following figure shows the power mode transitions. Any reset always brings the chip
back to the normal run state. In run, wait, and stop modes active power regulation is
enabled. The VLPx modes offer a lower power operating mode than normal modes.
VLPR and VLPW are limited in frequency. The LLS and VLLSx modes are the lowest
power stop modes based on amount of logic or memory that is required to be retained by
the application.

7.5 Power modes shutdown sequencing
When entering stop or other low-power modes, the clocks are shut off in an orderly
sequence to safely place the chip in the targeted low-power state. All low-power entry
sequences are initiated by the core executing an WFI instruction. The ARM core's
outputs, SLEEPDEEP and SLEEPING, trigger entry to the various low-power modes:
• System level wait and VLPW modes equate to: SLEEPING & SLEEPDEEP
• All other low power modes equate to: SLEEPING & SLEEPDEEP
When entering the non-wait modes, the chip performs the following sequence:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

217

Module Operation in Low Power Modes

• Shuts off Core Clock and System Clock to the ARM Cortex-M4 core immediately.
• Polls stop acknowledge indications from the non-core crossbar masters (DMA,
Ethernet), supporting peripherals (SPI, PIT, RNG) and the Flash Controller for
indications that System Clocks, Bus Clock and/or Flash Clock need to be left enabled
to complete a previously initiated operation, effectively stalling entry to the targeted
low power mode. When all acknowledges are detected, System Clock, Bus Clock
and Flash Clock are turned off at the same time.
• MCG and Mode Controller shut off clock sources and/or the internal supplies driven
from the on-chip regulator as defined for the targeted low power mode.
In wait modes, most of the system clocks are not affected by the low power mode entry.
The Core Clock to the ARM Cortex-M4 core is shut off. Some modules support stop-inwait functionality and have their clocks disabled under these configurations.
The debugger modules support a transition from stop, wait, VLPS, and VLPW back to a
halted state when the debugger is enabled. This transition is initiated by setting the Debug
Request bit in MDM-AP control register. As part of this transition, system clocking is reestablished and is equivalent to normal run/VLPR mode clocking configuration.

7.6 Module Operation in Low Power Modes
The following table illustrates the functionality of each module while the chip is in each
of the low power modes. (Debug modules are discussed separately; see Debug in Low
Power Modes.) Number ratings (such as 2 MHz and 1 Mbit/s) represent the maximum
frequencies or maximum data rates per mode. Also, these terms are used:
• FF = Full functionality. In VLPR and VLPW the system frequency is limited, but if a
module does not have a limitation in its functionality, it is still listed as FF.
• static = Module register states and associated memories are retained.
• powered = Memory is powered to retain contents.
• low power = Flash has a low power state that retains configuration registers to
support faster wakeup.
• OFF = Modules are powered off; module is in reset state upon wakeup.
• wakeup = Modules can serve as a wakeup source for the chip.

7.7 Clock Gating
To conserve power, the clocks to most modules can be turned off using the SCGCx
registers in the SIM module. These bits are cleared after any reset, which disables the
clock to the corresponding module. Prior to initializing a module, set the corresponding
bit in the SCGCx register to enable the clock. Before turning off the clock, make sure to
disable the module. For more details, refer to the clock distribution and SIM chapters.

Security
8.1 Introduction
This device implements security based on the mode selected from the flash module. The
following sections provide an overview of flash security and details the effects of security
on non-flash modules.

8.2 Flash Security
The flash module provides security information to the MCU based on the state held by
the FSEC[SEC] bits. The MCU, in turn, confirms the security request and limits access to
flash resources. During reset, the flash module initializes the FSEC register using data
read from the security byte of the flash configuration field.
NOTE
The security features apply only to external accesses via debug
and EzPort. CPU accesses to the flash are not affected by the
status of FSEC.
In the unsecured state all flash commands are available to the programming interfaces
(JTAG and EzPort), as well as user code execution of Flash Controller commands. When
the flash is secured (FSEC[SEC] = 00, 01, or 11), programmer interfaces are only
allowed to launch mass erase operations and have no access to memory locations.
Further information regarding the flash security options and enabling/disabling flash
security is available in the Flash Memory Module.

Security Interactions with other Modules

8.3 Security Interactions with other Modules
The flash security settings are used by the SoC to determine what resources are available.
The following sections describe the interactions between modules and the flash security
settings or the impact that the flash security has on non-flash modules.

8.3.1 Security interactions with FlexBus
When flash security is enabled, SIM_SOPT2[FBSL] enables/disables off-chip accesses
through the FlexBus interface. The FBSL bitfield also has an option to allow opcode and
operand accesses or only operand accesses.

8.3.2 Security Interactions with EzPort
When flash security is active the MCU can still boot in EzPort mode. The EzPort holds
the flash logic in NVM special mode and thus limits flash operation when flash security
is active. While in EzPort mode and security is active, flash bulk erase (BE) can still be
executed. The write FCCOB registers (WRFCCOB) command is limited to the mass
erase (Erase All Blocks) and verify all 1s (Read 1s All Blocks) commands. Read accesses
to internal memories via the EzPort are blocked when security is enabled.
The mass erase can be used to disable flash security, but all of the flash contents are lost
in the process. A mass erase via the EzPort is allowed even when some memory locations
are protected.
When mass erase has been disabled, mass erase via the EzPort is blocked and cannot be
defeated.

8.3.3 Security Interactions with Debug
When flash security is active the JTAG port cannot access the memory resources of the
MCU. Boundary scan chain operations work, but debugging capabilities are disabled so
that the debug port cannot read flash contents.
Although most debug functions are disabled, the debugger can write to the Flash Mass
Erase in Progress bit in the MDM-AP Control register to trigger a mass erase (Erase All
Blocks) command. A mass erase via the debugger is allowed even when some memory
locations are protected.

Figure 9-2. Modified Debug Port

The debug port comes out of reset in standard JTAG mode and is switched into either
cJTAG or SWD mode by the following sequences. Once the mode has been changed,
unused debug pins can be reassigned to any of their alternative muxed functions.

9.2.1 JTAG-to-SWD change sequence
1. Send more than 50 TCK cycles with TMS (SWDIO) =1
2. Send the 16-bit sequence on TMS (SWDIO) = 0111_1001_1110_0111 (MSB
transmitted first)
3. Send more than 50 TCK cycles with TMS (SWDIO) =1
NOTE
See the ARM documentation for the CoreSight DAP Lite for
restrictions.

9.5 JTAG status and control registers
Through the ARM Debug Access Port (DAP), the debugger has access to the status and
control elements, implemented as registers on the DAP bus as shown in the following
figure. These registers provide additional control and status for low power mode recovery
and typical run-control scenarios. The status register bits also provide a means for the
debugger to get updated status of the core without having to initiate a bus transaction
across the crossbar switch, thus remaining less intrusive during a debug session.
It is important to note that these DAP control and status registers are not memory mapped
within the system memory map and are only accessible via the Debug Access Port (DAP)
using JTAG, cJTAG, or SWD. The MDM-AP is accessible as Debug Access Port 1 with
the available registers shown in the table below.

N

Set to configure the system to be held in reset after the next recovery
from a VLLSx mode.
This bit holds the in reset when VLLSx modes are exited to allow the
debugger time to re-initialize debug IP before the debug session
continues.
The Mode Controller captures this bit logic on entry to VLLSx modes.
Upon exit from VLLSx modes, the Mode Controller will hold the in reset
until VLLDBGACK is asserted.
The VLLDBGREQ bit clears automatically due to the POR reset
generated as part of the VLLSx recovery.

6

LLS Mode Exit

This bit indicates an exit from LLS mode has occurred. The debugger will
lose communication while the system is in LLS (including access to this
register). Once communication is reestablished, this bit indicates that the
system had been in LLS. Since the debug modules held their state during
LLS, they do not need to be reconfigured.
This bit is set during the LLS recovery sequence. The LLS Mode Exit bit is
held until the debugger has had a chance to recognize that LLS was exited
and is cleared by a write of 1 to the LLS, VLLSx Status Acknowledge bit in
MDM AP Control register.

9.6 Debug Resets
The debug system receives the following sources of reset:
• JTAG_TRST_b from an external signal. This signal is optional and may not be
available in all packages.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
236

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 9 Debug

• Debug reset (CDBGRSTREQ bit within the SWJ-DP CTRL/STAT register) in the
TCLK domain that allows the debugger to reset the debug logic.
• TRST asserted via the cJTAG escape command.
• System POR reset
Conversely the debug system is capable of generating system reset using the following
mechanism:
• A system reset in the DAP control register which allows the debugger to hold the
system in reset.
• SYSRESETREQ bit in the NVIC application interrupt and reset control register
• A system reset in the DAP control register which allows the debugger to hold the
Core in reset.

9.7 AHB-AP
AHB-AP provides the debugger access to all memory and registers in the system,
including processor registers through the NVIC. System access is independent of the
processor status. AHB-AP does not do back-to-back transactions on the bus, so all
transactions are non-sequential. AHB-AP can perform unaligned and bit-band
transactions. AHB-AP transactions bypass the FPB, so the FPB cannot remap AHB-AP
transactions. SWJ/SW-DP-initiated transaction aborts drive an AHB-AP-supported
sideband signal called HABORT. This signal is driven into the Bus Matrix, which resets
the Bus Matrix state, so that AHB-AP can access the Private Peripheral Bus for last ditch
debugging such as read/stop/reset the core. AHB-AP transactions are little endian.
The MPU includes default settings and protections for the Region Descriptor 0 (RGD0)
such that the Debugger always has access to the entire address space and those rights
cannot be changed by the core or any other bus master.
For a short period at the start of a system reset event the system security status is being
determined and debugger access to all AHB-AP transactions is blocked. The MDM-AP
Status register is accessible and can be monitored to determine when this initial period is
completed. After this initial period, if system reset is held via assertion of the RESET pin,
the debugger has access via the bus matrix to the private peripheral bus to configure the
debug IP even while system reset is asserted. While in system reset, access to other
memory and register resources, accessed over the Crossbar Switch, is blocked.

ITM

9.8 ITM
The ITM is an application-driven trace source that supports printf style debugging to
trace Operating System (OS) and application events, and emits diagnostic system
information. The ITM emits trace information as packets. There are four sources that can
generate packets. If multiple sources generate packets at the same time, the ITM
arbitrates the order in which packets are output. The four sources in decreasing order of
priority are:
1. Software trace -- Software can write directly to ITM stimulus registers. This emits
packets.
2. Hardware trace -- The DWT generates these packets, and the ITM emits them.
3. Time stamping -- Timestamps are emitted relative to packets. The ITM contains a
21-bit counter to generate the timestamp. The Cortex-M4 clock or the bitclock rate of
the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) output clocks the counter.
4. Global system timestamping. Timestamps can optionally be generated using a
system-wide 48-bit count value. The same count value can be used to insert
timestamps in the ETM trace stream, allowing coarse-grain correlation.

9.9 Core Trace Connectivity
9.10 Embedded Trace Macrocell v3.5 (ETM)
The Cortex-M4 Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM-M4) is a debug component that
enables a debugger to reconstruct program execution. The CoreSight ETM-M4 supports
only instruction trace. You can use it either with the Cortex-M4 Trace Port Interface Unit
(M4-TPIU), or with the CoreSight ETB.
The main features of an ETM are:
•
•
•
•
•

9.11 Coresight Embedded Trace Buffer (ETB)
The ETB provides on-chip storage of trace data using 32-bit RAM. The ETB accepts
trace data from any CoreSight-compliant component trace source with an ATB master
port, such as a trace source or a trace funnel. It is included in this device to remove
dependencies from the trace pin pad speed, and enable low cost trace solutions. The
TraceRAM size is 2 KB.

Figure 9-4. ETB Block Diagram

The ETB contains the following blocks:
• Formatter -- Inserts source ID signals into the data packet stream so that trace data
can be re-associated with its trace source after the data is read back out of the ETB.
• Control -- Control registers for trace capture and flushing.
• APB interface -- Read, write, and data pointers provide access to ETB registers. In
addition, the APB interface supports wait states through the use of a PREADYDBG
signal output by the ETB. The APB interface is synchronous to the ATB domain.
• Register bank -- Contains the management, control, and status registers for triggers,
flushing behavior, and external control.
• Trace RAM interface -- Controls reads and writes to the Trace RAM.

9.11.1 Performance Profiling with the ETB
To create a performance profile (e.g. gprof) for the target application, a means to collect
trace over a long period of time is needed. The ETB buffer is too small to capture a
meaningful profile in just one take. What is needed is to collect and concatenate data
from the ETB buffer for multiple sequential runs. Using the ETB packet counter
(described in Miscellaneous Control Module (MCM)), the trace analysis tool can capture

239

TPIU

multiple sequential runs by executing code until the ETB is almost full, and halting or
executing an interrupt handler to allow the buffer to be emptied, and then continuing
executing code. The target halts or executes an interrupt handler when the buffer is
almost full to empty the data and then the debugger runs the target again.

9.11.2 ETB Counter Control
The ETB packet counter is controlled by the ETB counter control register, ETB reload
register, and ETB counter value register implemented in the Miscellaneous Control
Module (MCM) accessible via the Private Peripheral Bus. Via the ETB counter control
register the ETB control logic can be configured to cause an MCM Alert Interrupt, an
NMI Interrupt, or cause a Debug halt when the down counter reaches 0. Other features of
the ETB control logic include:
•
•
•
•

Down counter to count as many as 512 x 32-bit packets.
Reload request transfers reload value to counter.
ATB valid and ready signals used to form counter decrement.
The counter disarms itself when the count reaches 0.

9.12 TPIU
The TPIU acts as a bridge between the on-chip trace data from the Embedded Trace
Macrocell (ETM) and the Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM), with separate IDs, to a
data stream, encapsulating IDs where required, that is then captured by a Trace Port
Analyzer (TPA). The TPIU is specially designed for low-cost debug.

9.13 DWT
The DWT is a unit that performs the following debug functionality:
• It contains four comparators that you can configure as a hardware watchpoint, an
ETM trigger, a PC sampler event trigger, or a data address sampler event trigger. The
first comparator, DWT_COMP0, can also compare against the clock cycle counter,
CYCCNT. The second comparator, DWT_COMP1, can also be used as a data
comparator.
• The DWT contains counters for:
• Clock cycles (CYCCNT)
• Folded instructions
• Load store unit (LSU) operations
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
240

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 9 Debug

• Sleep cycles
• CPI (all instruction cycles except for the first cycle)
• Interrupt overhead
NOTE
An event is emitted each time a counter overflows.
• The DWT can be configured to emit PC samples at defined intervals, and to emit
interrupt event information.

9.14 Debug in Low Power Modes
In low power modes in which the debug modules are kept static or powered off, the
debugger cannot gather any debug data for the duration of the low power mode. In the
case that the debugger is held static, the debug port returns to full functionality as soon as
the low power mode exits and the system returns to a state with active debug. In the case
that the debugger logic is powered off, the debugger is reset on recovery and must be
reconfigured once the low power mode is exited.
Power mode entry logic monitors Debug Power Up and System Power Up signals from
the debug port as indications that a debugger is active. These signals can be changed in
RUN, VLPR, WAIT and VLPW. If the debug signal is active and the system attempts to
enter stop or VLPS, FCLK continues to run to support core register access. In these
modes in which FCLK is left active the debug modules have access to core registers but
not to system memory resources accessed via the crossbar.
With debug enabled, transitions from Run directly to VLPS are not allowed and result in
the system entering Stop mode instead. Status bits within the MDM-AP Status register
can be evaluated to determine this pseudo-VLPS state. Note with the debug enabled,
transitions from Run--> VLPR --> VLPS are still possible but also result in the system
entering Stop mode instead.
In VLLS mode all debug modules are powered off and reset at wakeup. In LLS mode, the
debug modules retain their state but no debug activity is possible.
NOTE
When using cJTAG and entering LLS mode, the cJTAG
controller must be reset on exit from LLS mode.
Going into a VLLSx mode causes all the debug controls and settings to be reset. To give
time to the debugger to sync up with the HW, the MDM-AP Control register can be
configured hold the system in reset on recovery so that the debugger can regain control
and reconfigure debug logic prior to the system exiting reset and resuming operation.

Debug & Security

9.14.1 Debug Module State in Low Power Modes
The following table shows the state of the debug modules in low power modes. These
terms are used:
• FF = Full functionality. In VLPR and VLPW the system frequency is limited, but if a
module does not have a limitation in its functionality, it is still listed as FF.
• static = Module register states and associated memories are retained.
• OFF = Modules are powered off; module is in reset state upon wakeup.

9.15 Debug & Security
When security is enabled (FSEC[SEC] != 10), the debug port capabilities are limited in
order to prevent exploitation of secure data. In the secure state the debugger still has
access to the MDM-AP Status Register and can determine the current security state of the
device. In the case of a secure device, the debugger also has the capability of performing
a mass erase operation via writes to the MDM-AP Control Register. In the case of a
secure device that has mass erase disabled (FSEC[MEEN] = 10), attempts to mass erase
via the debug interface are blocked.

Signal Multiplexing and Signal Descriptions
10.1 Introduction
To optimize functionality in small packages, pins have several functions available via
signal multiplexing. This chapter illustrates which of this device's signals are multiplexed
on which external pin.
The Port Control block controls which signal is present on the external pin. Reference
that chapter to find which register controls the operation of a specific pin.

10.2 Signal Multiplexing Integration
This section summarizes how the module is integrated into the device. For a
comprehensive description of the module itself, see the module’s dedicated chapter.

10.2.3 PCRn reset values for port A
PCRn bit reset values for port A are 1 for the following bits:
• For PCR0: bits 1, 6, 8, 9, and 10.
• For PCR1 to PCR4: bits 0, 1, 6, 8, 9, and 10.
• For PCR5 : bits 0, 1, and 6.
All other PCRn bit reset values for port A are 0.

10.2.4 Clock gating
The clock to the port control module can be gated on and off using the SCGC5[PORTx]
bits in the SIM module. These bits are cleared after any reset, which disables the clock to
the corresponding module to conserve power. Prior to initializing the corresponding
module, set SCGC5[PORTx] in the SIM module to enable the clock. Before turning off
the clock, make sure to disable the module. For more details, refer to the clock
distribution chapter.

10.2.5 Signal multiplexing constraints
1. A given peripheral function must be assigned to a maximum of one package pin. Do
not program the same function to more than one pin.
2. To ensure the best signal timing for a given peripheral's interface, choose the pins in
closest proximity to each other.

O

When FlexBus is used in a nonmultiplexed configuration, this is the
address bus. When FlexBus is used in a multiplexed configuration,
this bus is not used.
FB_AD[31:0] 1

FB_D31–FB_D0

Data Bus—During the first cycle, this bus drives the upper address
byte, addr[31:24].

I/O

When FlexBus is used in a nonmultiplexed configuration, this is the
data bus, FB_D. When FlexBus is used in a multiplexed
configuration, this is the address and data bus, FB_AD.
The number of byte lanes carrying the data is determined by the
port size associated with the matching chip-select.
When FlexBus is used in a multiplexed configuration, the full 32-bit
address is driven on the first clock of a bus cycle (address phase).
After the first clock, the data is driven on the bus (data phase).
During the data phase, the address is driven on the pins not used
for data. For example, in 16-bit mode, the lower address is driven
on FB_AD15–FB_AD0, and in 8-bit mode, the lower address is
driven on FB_AD23–FB_AD0.
FB_CS[5:0] 2

FB_CS5–FB_CS0

General Purpose Chip-Selects—Indicate which external memory or
peripheral is selected. A particular chip-select is asserted when the
transfer address is within the external memory's or peripheral's
address space, as defined in CSAR[BA] and CSMR[BAM].

signals are asserted on reads and writes or on writes only.

O

FB_OE

FB_OE

Output Enable—Sent to the external memory or peripheral to
enable a read transfer. This signal is asserted during read accesses
only when a chip-select matches the current address decode.

O

FB_R W

FB_R/W

Read/Write—Indicates whether the current bus operation is a read
operation (FB_R/W high) or a write operation (FB_R/W low).

O

FB_TS/ FB_ALE

FB_TS

Transfer Start—Indicates that the chip has begun a bus transaction
and that the address and attributes are valid.

O

FB_BE_23_16
FB_BE_15_8
FB_BE_7_0

For external SRAM or flash devices, the FB_BE outputs should be
connected to individual byte strobe signals.

An inverted FB_TS is available as an address latch enable
(FB_ALE), which indicates when the address is being driven on the
FB_AD bus.
FB_TS/FB_ALE is asserted for one bus clock cycle.
The chip can extend this signal until the first positive clock edge
after FB_CS asserts. See CSCR[EXTS] and Extended Transfer
Start/Address Latch Enable.

FB_TSIZ[1:0]

Module signal
name

Description

I/O

FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 Transfer Size—Indicates (along with FB_TBST) the data transfer
size of the current bus operation. The interface supports 8-, 16-,
and 32-bit operand transfers and allows accesses to 8-, 16-, and
32-bit data ports.

O

• 00b = 4 bytes
• 01b = 1 byte
• 10b = 2 bytes
• 11b = 16 bytes (line)
For misaligned transfers, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 indicate the size of
each transfer. For example, if a 32-bit access through a 32-bit port
device occurs at a misaligned offset of 1h, 8 bits are transferred first
(FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 01b), 16 bits are transferred next at offset
2h (FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 10b), and the final 8 bits are transferred
at offset 4h (FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 01b).
For aligned transfers larger than the port size, FB_TSIZ1–
FB_TSIZ0 behave as follows:
• If bursting is used, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 are driven to the
transfer size.
• If bursting is inhibited, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 first show the
entire transfer size and then show the port size.
For burst-inhibited transfers, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 change with
each FB_TS assertion to reflect the next transfer size.
For transfers to port sizes smaller than the transfer size,
FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 indicate the size of the entire transfer on the
first access and the size of the current port transfer on subsequent
transfers. For example, for a 32-bit write to an 8-bit port,
FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 are 00b for the first transaction and 01b for
the next three transactions. If bursting is used for a 32-bit write to
an 8-bit port, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 are driven to 00b for the entire
transfer.

FB_TA4

FB_TA

Description
Transfer Acknowledge—Indicates that the external data transfer is
complete. When FB_TA is asserted during a read transfer, FlexBus
latches the data and then terminates the transfer. When FB_TA is
asserted during a write transfer, the transfer is terminated.

I/O
I

If auto-acknowledge is disabled (CSCR[AA] = 0), the external
memory or peripheral drives FB_TA to terminate the transfer. If
auto-acknowledge is enabled (CSCR[AA] = 1), FB_TA is generated
internally after a specified number of wait states, or the external
memory or peripheral may assert external FB_TA before the waitstate countdown to terminate the transfer early. The chip deasserts
FB_CS one cycle after the last FB_TA is asserted. During read
transfers, the external memory or peripheral must continue to drive
data until FB_TA is recognized. For write transfers, the chip
continues driving data one clock cycle after FB_CS is deasserted.
The number of wait states is determined by CSCR or the external
FB_TA input. If the external FB_TA is used, the external memory or
peripheral has complete control of the number of wait states.
Note: External memory or peripherals should assert FB_TA only
while the FB_CS signal to the external memory or
peripheral is asserted.
The CSPMCR register controls muxing of FB_TA with other
signals. If auto-acknowledge is not used and CSPMCR
does not allow FB_TA control, FlexBus may hang.
FB_TBST

FB_TBST

Transfer Burst—Indicates that a burst transfer is in progress as
driven by the chip. A burst transfer can be 2 to 16 beats depending
on FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 and the port size.

O

Note: When a burst transfer is in progress (FB_TBST = 0b), the
transfer size is 16 bytes (FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 11b), and
the address is misaligned within the 16-byte boundary, the
external memory or peripheral must be able to wrap around
the address.

Chapter 11
Port Control and Interrupts (PORT)
11.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.

11.2 Overview
The Port Control and Interrupt (PORT) module provides support for port control, digital
filtering, and external interrupt functions.
Most functions can be configured independently for each pin in the 32-bit port and affect
the pin regardless of its pin muxing state.
There is one instance of the PORT module for each port. Not all pins within each port are
implemented on a specific device.

11.2.1 Features
The PORT module has the following features:
• Pin interrupt
• Interrupt flag and enable registers for each pin
• Support for edge sensitive (rising, falling, both) or level sensitive (low, high)
configured per pin
• Support for interrupt or DMA request configured per pin
• Asynchronous wake-up in low-power modes
• Pin interrupt is functional in all digital pin muxing modes
• Digital input filter on selected pins
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

273

Overview

• Digital input filter for each pin, usable by any digital peripheral muxed onto the
pin
• Individual enable or bypass control field per pin
• Selectable clock source for digital input filter with a five bit resolution on filter
size
• Functional in all digital pin multiplexing modes
• Port control
• Individual pull control fields with pullup, pulldown, and pull-disable support
• Individual drive strength field supporting high and low drive strength
• Individual slew rate field supporting fast and slow slew rates
• Individual input passive filter field supporting enable and disable of the
individual input passive filter
• Individual open drain field supporting enable and disable of the individual open
drain output
• Individual mux control field supporting analog or pin disabled, GPIO, and up to
six chip-specific digital functions
• Pad configuration fields are functional in all digital pin muxing modes.

11.2.2 Modes of operation
11.2.2.1 Run mode
In Run mode, the PORT operates normally.

11.2.2.2 Wait mode
In Wait mode, PORT continues to operate normally and may be configured to exit the
Low-Power mode if an enabled interrupt is detected. DMA requests are still generated
during the Wait mode, but do not cause an exit from the Low-Power mode.

11.2.2.3 Stop mode
In Stop mode, the PORT can be configured to exit the Low-Power mode via an
asynchronous wake-up signal if an enabled interrupt is detected.
In Stop mode, the digital input filters are bypassed unless they are configured to run from
the 1 kHz LPO clock source.

11.5 Memory map and register definition
Any read or write access to the PORT memory space that is outside the valid memory
map results in a bus error. All register accesses complete with zero wait states.

Configured interrupt is not detected.
Configured interrupt is detected. If the pin is configured to generate a DMA request, then the
corresponding flag will be cleared automatically at the completion of the requested DMA transfer.
Otherwise, the flag remains set until a logic 1 is written to the flag. If the pin is configured for a level
sensitive interrupt and the pin remains asserted, then the flag is set again immediately after it is
cleared.

This field is reserved.
This read-only field is reserved and always has the value 0.

The digital filter configuration is valid in all digital pin muxing modes. Configures the maximum size of the

register setting are filtered. Changing the filter length must be done only after all filters are disabled.

11.6 Functional description
11.6.1 Pin control
Each port pin has a corresponding Pin Control register, PORT_PCRn, associated with it.
The upper half of the Pin Control register configures the pin's capability to either
interrupt the CPU or request a DMA transfer, on a rising/falling edge or both edges as
well as a logic level occurring on the port pin. It also includes a flag to indicate that an
interrupt has occurred.
The lower half of the Pin Control register configures the following functions for each pin
within the 32-bit port.
•
•
•
•
•

Pullup or pulldown enable
Drive strength and slew rate configuration
Open drain enable
Passive input filter enable
Pin Muxing mode

The functions apply across all digital pin muxing modes and individual peripherals do not
override the configuration in the Pin Control register. For example, if an I2C function is
enabled on a pin, that does not override the pullup or open drain configuration for that
pin.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
288

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 11 Port Control and Interrupts (PORT)

When the Pin Muxing mode is configured for analog or is disabled, all the digital
functions on that pin are disabled. This includes the pullup and pulldown enables, digital
output buffer enable, digital input buffer enable, and passive filter enable.
A lock field also exists that allows the configuration for each pin to be locked until the
next system reset. When locked, writes to the lower half of that pin control register are
ignored, although a bus error is not generated on an attempted write to a locked register.
The configuration of each Pin Control register is retained when the PORT module is
disabled.

11.6.2 Global pin control
The two global pin control registers allow a single register write to update the lower half
of the pin control register on up to 16 pins, all with the same value. Registers that are
locked cannot be written using the global pin control registers.
The global pin control registers are designed to enable software to quickly configure
multiple pins within the one port for the same peripheral function. However, the interrupt
functions cannot be configured using the global pin control registers.
The global pin control registers are write-only registers, that always read as 0.

11.6.3 External interrupts
The external interrupt capability of the PORT module is available in all digital pin
muxing modes provided the PORT module is enabled.
Each pin can be individually configured for any of the following external interrupt
modes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Interrupt disabled, default out of reset
Active high level sensitive interrupt
Active low level sensitive interrupt
Rising edge sensitive interrupt
Falling edge sensitive interrupt
Rising and falling edge sensitive interrupt
Rising edge sensitive DMA request
Falling edge sensitive DMA request
Rising and falling edge sensitive DMA request

Functional description

The interrupt status flag is set when the configured edge or level is detected on the pin or
at the output of the digital input filter, if the digital input digital filter is enabled. When
not in Stop mode, the input is first synchronized to the bus clock to detect the configured
level or edge transition.
The PORT module generates a single interrupt that asserts when the interrupt status flag
is set for any enabled interrupt for that port. The interrupt negates after the interrupt status
flags for all enabled interrupts have been cleared by writing a logic 1 to the ISF flag in
either the PORT_ISFR or PORT_PCRn registers.
The PORT module generates a single DMA request that asserts when the interrupt status
flag is set for any enabled DMA request in that port. The DMA request negates after the
DMA transfer is completed, because that clears the interrupt status flags for all enabled
DMA requests.
During Stop mode, the interrupt status flag for any enabled interrupt is asynchronously
set if the required level or edge is detected. This also generates an asynchronous wake-up
signal to exit the Low-Power mode.

11.6.4 Digital filter
The digital filter capabilities of the PORT module are available in all digital Pin Muxing
modes if the PORT module is enabled.
The clock used for all digital filters within one port can be configured between the bus
clock or the 1 kHz LPO clock. This selection must be changed only when all digital
filters for that port are disabled. If the digital filters for a port are configured to use the
bus clock, then the digital filters are bypassed for the duration of Stop mode. While the
digital filters are bypassed, the output of each digital filter always equals the input pin,
but the internal state of the digital filters remains static and does not update due to any
change on the input pin.
The filter width in clock size is the same for all enabled digital filters within one port and
must be changed only when all digital filters for that port are disabled.
The output of each digital filter is logic zero after system reset and whenever a digital
filter is disabled. After a digital filter is enabled, the input is synchronized to the filter
clock, either the bus clock or the 1 kHz LPO clock. If the synchronized input and the
output of the digital filter remain different for a number of filter clock cycles equal to the
filter width register configuration, then the output of the digital filter updates to equal the
synchronized filter input.
The minimum latency through a digital filter equals two or three filter clock cycles plus
the filter width configuration register.

12.2.15 System Clock Divider Register 1 (SIM_CLKDIV1)
When updating CLKDIV1, update all fields using the one write command. Attempting to
write an invalid clock ratio to the CLKDIV1 register will cause the write to be ignored.
The maximum divide ratio that can be programmed between core/system clock and the
other divided clocks is divide by 8. When OUTDIV1 equals 0000 (divide by 1), the other
dividers cannot be set higher than 0111 (divide by 8).
NOTE
The CLKDIV1 register cannot be written to when the device is
in VLPR mode.

When set, Flash memory is disabled for the duration of Wait mode. An attempt by the DMA or other bus
master to access the Flash when the Flash is disabled will result in a bus error. This bit should be clear
during VLP modes. The Flash will be automatically enabled again at the end of Wait mode so interrupt

Max address block 1
For devices with FlexNVM: This field concatenated with 13 trailing zeros plus the FlexNVM base address

For example, if MAXADDR1 = 0x20 the first invalid address of FlexNVM flash block is 0x4_0000 +
0x1000_0000 . This would be the MAXADDR1 value for a device with 256 KB FlexNVM.
For devices with program flash only: This field equals zero if there is only one program flash block,
otherwise it equals the value of the MAXADDR0 field.
For example, with MAXADDR0 = MAXADDR1 = 0x20 the first invalid address of flash block 1 is 0x4_0000
+ 0x4_0000. This would be the MAXADDR1 value for a device with 512 KB program flash memory across

System Mode Controller (SMC)
14.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The System Mode Controller (SMC) is responsible for sequencing the system into and
out of all low-power Stop and Run modes.
Specifically, it monitors events to trigger transitions between power modes while
controlling the power, clocks, and memories of the system to achieve the power
consumption and functionality of that mode.
This chapter describes all the available low-power modes, the sequence followed to enter/
exit each mode, and the functionality available while in each of the modes.
The SMC is able to function during even the deepest low power modes.
See AN4503: Power Management for Kinetis and ColdFire+ MCUs for further details on
using the SMC.

14.2 Modes of operation
The ARM CPU has three primary modes of operation:
• Run
• Sleep
• Deep Sleep
The WFI or WFE instruction is used to invoke Sleep and Deep Sleep modes. Run, Wait,
and Stop are the common terms used for the primary operating modes of Freescale
microcontrollers.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

339

Modes of operation

The following table shows the translation between the ARM CPU modes and the
Freescale MCU power modes.
ARM CPU mode

MCU mode

Sleep

Wait

Deep Sleep

Stop

Accordingly, the ARM CPU documentation refers to sleep and deep sleep, while the
Freescale MCU documentation normally uses wait and stop.
In addition, Freescale MCUs also augment Stop, Wait, and Run modes in a number of
ways. The power management controller (PMC) contains a run and a stop mode
regulator. Run regulation is used in normal run, wait and stop modes. Stop mode
regulation is used during all very low power and low leakage modes. During stop mode
regulation, the bus frequencies are limited in the very low power modes.
The SMC provides the user with multiple power options. The Very Low Power Run
(VLPR) mode can drastically reduce run time power when maximum bus frequency is
not required to handle the application needs. From Normal Run mode, the Run Mode
(RUNM) field can be modified to change the MCU into VLPR mode when limited
frequency is sufficient for the application. From VLPR mode, a corresponding wait
(VLPW) and stop (VLPS) mode can be entered.
Depending on the needs of the user application, a variety of stop modes are available that
allow the state retention, partial power down or full power down of certain logic and/or
memory. I/O states are held in all modes of operation. Several registers are used to
configure the various modes of operation for the device.
The following table describes the power modes available for the device.
Table 14-1. Power modes
Mode

Description

RUN

The MCU can be run at full speed and the internal supply is fully regulated, that is, in run regulation.
This mode is also referred to as Normal Run mode.

WAIT

The core clock is gated off. The system clock continues to operate. Bus clocks, if enabled, continue
to operate. Run regulation is maintained.

STOP

The core clock is gated off. System clocks to other masters and bus clocks are gated off after all
stop acknowledge signals from supporting peripherals are valid.

VLPR

The core, system, bus, and flash clock maximum frequencies are restricted in this mode. See the
Power Management chapter for details about the maximum allowable frequencies.

VLPW

The core clock is gated off. The system, bus, and flash clocks continue to operate, although their
maximum frequency is restricted. See the Power Management chapter for details on the maximum
allowable frequencies.

VLPS

The core clock is gated off. System clocks to other masters and bus clocks are gated off after all
stop acknowledge signals from supporting peripherals are valid.

Description

LLS

The core clock is gated off. System clocks to other masters and bus clocks are gated off after all
stop acknowledge signals from supporting peripherals are valid. The MCU is placed in a low
leakage mode by reducing the voltage to internal logic. All system RAM contents, internal logic and
I/O states are retained.

VLLS3

The core clock is gated off. System clocks to other masters and bus clocks are gated off after all
stop acknowledge signals from supporting peripherals are valid. The MCU is placed in a low
leakage mode by powering down the internal logic. All system RAM contents are retained and I/O
states are held. Internal logic states are not retained.

VLLS2

The core clock is gated off. System clocks to other masters and bus clocks are gated off after all
stop acknowledge signals from supporting peripherals are valid. The MCU is placed in a low
leakage mode by powering down the internal logic and the system RAM2 partition. The system
RAM1 partition contents are retained in this mode. Internal logic states are not retained. 1

VLLS1

The core clock is gated off. System clocks to other masters and bus clocks are gated off after all
stop acknowledge signals from supporting peripherals are valid. The MCU is placed in a low
leakage mode by powering down the internal logic and all system RAM. I/O states are held. Internal
logic states are not retained.

VLLS0

The core clock is gated off. System clocks to other masters and bus clocks are gated off after all
stop acknowledge signals from supporting peripherals are valid. The MCU is placed in a low
leakage mode by powering down the internal logic and all system RAM. I/O states are held. Internal
logic states are not retained. The 1kHz LPO clock is disabled and the power on reset (POR) circuit
can be optionally enabled using VLLSCTRL[PORPO].

1. See the devices' chip configuration details for the size and location of the system RAM partitions.

14.3 Memory map and register descriptions
Information about the registers related to the system mode controller can be found here.
Different SMC registers reset on different reset types. Each register's description provides
details. For more information about the types of reset on this chip, refer to the Reset
section details.
NOTE
The SMC registers can be written only in supervisor mode.
Write accesses in user mode are blocked and will result in a bus
error.
NOTE
Before executing the WFI instruction, the last register written to
must be read back. This ensures that all register writes
associated with setting up the low power mode being entered
have completed before the MCU enters the low power mode.
Failure to do this may result in the low power mode not being
entered correctly.

14.3.1 Power Mode Protection register (SMC_PMPROT)
This register provides protection for entry into any low-power run or stop mode. The
enabling of the low-power run or stop mode occurs by configuring the Power Mode
Control register (PMCTRL).
The PMPROT register can be written only once after any system reset.
If the MCU is configured for a disallowed or reserved power mode, the MCU remains in
its current power mode. For example, if the MCU is in normal RUN mode and AVLP is
0, an attempt to enter VLPR mode using PMCTRL[RUNM] is blocked and
PMCTRL[RUNM] remains 00b, indicating the MCU is still in Normal Run mode.
NOTE
This register is reset on Chip Reset not VLLS and by reset
types that trigger Chip Reset not VLLS. It is unaffected by reset
types that do not trigger Chip Reset not VLLS. See the Reset
section details for more information.

14.4.2 Power mode entry/exit sequencing
When entering or exiting low-power modes, the system must conform to an orderly
sequence to manage transitions safely.
The SMC manages the system's entry into and exit from all power modes. This diagram

14.4.2.1 Stop mode entry sequence
Entry into a low-power stop mode (Stop, VLPS, LLS, VLLSx) is initiated by CPU
execution of the WFI instruction. After the instruction is executed, the following
sequence occurs:
1. The CPU clock is gated off immediately.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
350

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 14 System Mode Controller (SMC)

2. Requests are made to all non-CPU bus masters to enter Stop mode.
3. After all masters have acknowledged they are ready to enter Stop mode, requests are
made to all bus slaves to enter Stop mode.
4. After all slaves have acknowledged they are ready to enter Stop mode, all system and
bus clocks are gated off.
5. Clock generators are disabled in the MCG.
6. The on-chip regulator in the PMC and internal power switches are configured to
meet the power consumption goals for the targeted low-power mode.

14.4.2.2 Stop mode exit sequence
Exit from a low-power stop mode is initiated either by a reset or an interrupt event. The
following sequence then executes to restore the system to a run mode (RUN or VLPR):
1. The on-chip regulator in the PMC and internal power switches are restored.
2. Clock generators are enabled in the MCG.
3. System and bus clocks are enabled to all masters and slaves.
4. The CPU clock is enabled and the CPU begins servicing the reset or interrupt that
initiated the exit from the low-power stop mode.

14.4.2.3 Aborted stop mode entry
If an interrupt or a reset occurs during a stop entry sequence, the SMC can abort the
transition early and return to RUN mode without completely entering the stop mode. An
aborted entry is possible only if the reset or interrupt occurs before the PMC begins the
transition to stop mode regulation. After this point, the interrupt or reset is ignored until
the PMC has completed its transition to stop mode regulation. When an aborted stop
mode entry sequence occurs, SMC_PMCTRL[STOPA] is set to 1.

14.4.2.4 Transition to wait modes
For wait modes (WAIT and VLPW), the CPU clock is gated off while all other clocking
continues, as in RUN and VLPR mode operation. Some modules that support stop-inwait functionality have their clocks disabled in these configurations.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Functional description

14.4.2.5 Transition from stop modes to Debug mode
The debugger module supports a transition from STOP, WAIT, VLPS, and VLPW back
to a Halted state when the debugger has been enabled. As part of this transition, system
clocking is re-established and is equivalent to the normal RUN and VLPR mode clocking
configuration.

14.4.3 Run modes
The run modes supported by this device can be found here.
• Run (RUN)
• Very Low-Power Run (VLPR)

14.4.3.1 RUN mode
This is the normal operating mode for the device.
This mode is selected after any reset. When the ARM processor exits reset, it sets up the
stack, program counter (PC), and link register (LR):
• The processor reads the start SP (SP_main) from vector-table offset 0x000
• The processor reads the start PC from vector-table offset 0x004
• LR is set to 0xFFFF_FFFF.
To reduce power in this mode, disable the clocks to unused modules using their
corresponding clock gating control bits in the SIM's registers.

14.4.3.2 Very-Low Power Run (VLPR) mode
In VLPR mode, the on-chip voltage regulator is put into a stop mode regulation state. In
this state, the regulator is designed to supply enough current to the MCU over a reduced
frequency. To further reduce power in this mode, disable the clocks to unused modules
using their corresponding clock gating control bits in the SIM's registers.
Before entering this mode, the following conditions must be met:
• The MCG must be configured in a mode which is supported during VLPR. See the
Power Management details for information about these MCG modes.
• All clock monitors in the MCG must be disabled.
• The maximum frequencies of the system, bus, flash, and core are restricted. See the
Power Management details about which frequencies are supported.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
352

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 14 System Mode Controller (SMC)

• Mode protection must be set to allow VLP modes, that is, PMPROT[AVLP] is 1.
• PMCTRL[RUNM] is set to 10b to enter VLPR.
• Flash programming/erasing is not allowed.
NOTE
Do not increase the clock frequency while in VLPR mode,
because the regulator is slow in responding and cannot manage
fast load transitions. In addition, do not modify the clock source
in the MCG module or any clock divider registers. Module
clock enables in the SIM can be set, but not cleared.
To reenter Normal Run mode, clear PMCTRL[RUNM]. PMSTAT is a read-only status
register that can be used to determine when the system has completed an exit to RUN
mode. When PMSTAT=RUN, the system is in run regulation and the MCU can run at
full speed in any clock mode. If a higher execution frequency is desired, poll PMSTAT
until it is set to RUN when returning from VLPR mode.
VLPR mode also provides the option to return to run regulation if any interrupt occurs.
Implement this option by setting Low-Power Wakeup On Interrupt (LPWUI) in the
PMCTRL register. Any reset always causes an exit from VLPR and returns the device to
RUN mode after the MCU exits its reset flow. The RUNM bits are cleared by hardware
on any interrupt when LPWUI is set or on any reset.

14.4.4 Wait modes
This device contains two different wait modes which are listed here.
• Wait
• Very-Low Power Wait (VLPW)

14.4.4.1 WAIT mode
WAIT mode is entered when the ARM core enters the Sleep-Now or Sleep-On-Exit
modes while SLEEDEEP is cleared. The ARM CPU enters a low-power state in which it
is not clocked, but peripherals continue to be clocked provided they are enabled. Clock
gating to the peripheral is enabled via the SIM module.
When an interrupt request occurs, the CPU exits WAIT mode and resumes processing in
RUN mode, beginning with the stacking operations leading to the interrupt service
routine.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

353

Functional description

A system reset will cause an exit from WAIT mode, returning the device to normal RUN
mode.

14.4.4.2 Very-Low-Power Wait (VLPW) mode
VLPW is entered by the entering the Sleep-Now or Sleep-On-Exit mode while
SLEEPDEEP is cleared and the MCU is in VLPR mode.
In VLPW, the on-chip voltage regulator remains in its stop regulation state. In this state,
the regulator is designed to supply enough current to the MCU over a reduced frequency.
To further reduce power in this mode, disable the clocks to unused modules by clearing
the peripherals' corresponding clock gating control bits in the SIM.
VLPR mode restrictions also apply to VLPW.
VLPW mode provides the option to return to fully-regulated normal RUN mode if any
enabled interrupt occurs. This is done by setting PMCTRL[LPWUI]. Wait for the
PMSTAT register to set to RUN before increasing the frequency.
If the LPWUI bit is clear, when an interrupt from VLPW occurs, the device returns to
VLPR mode to execute the interrupt service routine.
A system reset will cause an exit from VLPW mode, returning the device to normal RUN
mode.

14.4.5 Stop modes
This device contains a variety of stop modes to meet your application needs.
The stop modes range from:
• a stopped CPU, with all I/O, logic, and memory states retained, and certain
asynchronous mode peripherals operating
to:
• a powered down CPU, with only I/O and a small register file retained, very few
asynchronous mode peripherals operating, while the remainder of the MCU is
powered down.
The choice of stop mode depends upon the user's application, and how power usage and
state retention versus functional needs and recovery time may be traded off.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 14 System Mode Controller (SMC)

NOTE
All clock monitors must be disabled before entering these lowpower modes: Stop, VLPS, VLPR, VLPW, LLS, and VLLSx.
The various stop modes are selected by setting the appropriate fields in PMPROT and
PMCTRL. The selected stop mode is entered during the sleep-now or sleep-on-exit entry
with the SLEEPDEEP bit set in the System Control Register in the ARM core.
The available stop modes are:
•
•
•
•

Normal Stop (STOP)
Very-Low Power Stop (VLPS)
Low-Leakage Stop (LLS)
Very-Low-Leakage Stop (VLLSx)

14.4.5.1 STOP mode
STOP mode is entered via the sleep-now or sleep-on-exit with the SLEEPDEEP bit set in
the System Control Register in the ARM core.
The MCG module can be configured to leave the reference clocks running.
A module capable of providing an asynchronous interrupt to the device takes the device
out of STOP mode and returns the device to normal RUN mode. Refer to the device's
Power Management chapter for peripheral, I/O, and memory operation in STOP mode.
When an interrupt request occurs, the CPU exits STOP mode and resumes processing,
beginning with the stacking operations leading to the interrupt service routine.
A system reset will cause an exit from STOP mode, returning the device to normal RUN
mode via an MCU reset.

14.4.5.2 Very-Low-Power Stop (VLPS) mode
The two ways in which VLPS mode can be entered are listed here.
• Entry into stop via the sleep-now or sleep-on-exit with the SLEEPDEEP bit set in the
System Control Register in the ARM core while the MCU is in VLPR mode and
PMCTRL[STOPM] = 010 or 000.
• Entry into stop via the sleep-now or sleep-on-exit with the SLEEPDEEP bit set in the
System Control Register in the ARM core while the MCU is in normal RUN mode
and PMCTRL[STOPM] = 010. When VLPS is entered directly from RUN mode, exit
to VLPR is disabled by hardware and the system will always exit back to RUN.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

355

Functional description

In VLPS, the on-chip voltage regulator remains in its stop regulation state as in VLPR.
A module capable of providing an asynchronous interrupt to the device takes the device
out of VLPS and returns the device to VLPR mode, provided LPWUI is clear.
If LPWUI is set, the device returns to normal RUN mode upon an interrupt request.
PMSTAT must be set to RUN before allowing the system to return to a frequency higher
than that allowed in VLPR mode.
A system reset will also cause a VLPS exit, returning the device to normal RUN mode.

14.4.5.3 Low-Leakage Stop (LLS) mode
Low-Leakage Stop (LLS) mode can be entered from normal RUN or VLPR modes.
The MCU enters LLS mode if:
• In Sleep-Now or Sleep-On-Exit mode, SLEEPDEEP is set in the System Control
Register in the ARM core, and
• The device is configured as shown in Table 14-7.
In LLS, the on-chip voltage regulator is in stop regulation. Most of the peripherals are put
in a state-retention mode that does not allow them to operate while in LLS.
Before entering LLS mode, the user should configure the Low-Leakage Wake-up
(LLWU) module to enable the desired wake-up sources. The available wake-up sources
in LLS are detailed in the chip configuration details for this device.
After wakeup from LLS, the device returns to the run mode from which LLS was entered
(either normal RUN or VLPR) with a pending LLWU module interrupt. In the LLWU
interrupt service routine (ISR), the user can poll the LLWU module wake-up flags to
determine the source of the wakeup.
NOTE
The LLWU interrupt must not be masked by the interrupt
controller to avoid a scenario where the system does not fully
exit Stop mode on an LLS recovery.
An asserted RESET pin will cause an exit from LLS mode, returning the device to
normal RUN mode. When LLS is exiting via the RESET pin, RCM_SRS0[PIN] and
RCM_SRS0[WAKEUP] are set.

14.4.5.4 Very-Low-Leakage Stop (VLLSx) modes
This device contains these very low leakage modes:

Chapter 14 System Mode Controller (SMC)

•
•
•
•

VLLS3
VLLS2
VLLS1
VLLS0

VLLSx is often used in this document to refer to all of these modes.
All VLLSx modes can be entered from normal RUN or VLPR modes.
The MCU enters the configured VLLS mode if:
• In Sleep-Now or Sleep-On-Exit mode, the SLEEPDEEP bit is set in the System
Control Register in the ARM core, and
• The device is configured as shown in Table 14-7.
In VLLS, the on-chip voltage regulator is in its stop-regulation state while most digital
logic is powered off.
Before entering VLLS mode, the user should configure the Low-Leakage Wake-up
(LLWU) module to enable the desired wakeup sources. The available wake-up sources in
VLLS are detailed in the chip configuration details for this device.
After wakeup from VLLS, the device returns to normal RUN mode with a pending
LLWU interrupt. In the LLWU interrupt service routine (ISR), the user can poll the
LLWU module wake-up flags to determine the source of the wake-up.
When entering VLLS, each I/O pin is latched as configured before executing VLLS.
Because all digital logic in the MCU is powered off, all port and peripheral data is lost
during VLLS. This information must be restored before PMC_REGSC[ACKISO] is set.
An asserted RESET pin will cause an exit from any VLLS mode, returning the device to
normal RUN mode. When exiting VLLS via the RESET pin, RCM_SRS0[PIN] and
RCM_SRS0[WAKEUP] are set.

14.4.6 Debug in low power modes
When the MCU is secure, the device disables/limits debugger operation. When the MCU
is unsecure, the ARM debugger can assert two power-up request signals:
• System power up, via SYSPWR in the Debug Port Control/Stat register
• Debug power up, via CDBGPWRUPREQ in the Debug Port Control/Stat register

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

357

Functional description

When asserted while in RUN, WAIT, VLPR, or VLPW, the mode controller drives a
corresponding acknowledge for each signal, that is, both CDBGPWRUPACK and
CSYSPWRUPACK. When both requests are asserted, the mode controller handles
attempts to enter STOP and VLPS by entering an emulated stop state. In this emulated
stop state:
•
•
•
•
•

the regulator is in run regulation,
the MCG-generated clock source is enabled,
all system clocks, except the core clock, are disabled,
the debug module has access to core registers, and
access to the on-chip peripherals is blocked.

No debug is available while the MCU is in LLS or VLLS modes. LLS is a state-retention
mode and all debug operation can continue after waking from LLS, even in cases where
system wakeup is due to a system reset event.
Entering into a VLLS mode causes all of the debug controls and settings to be powered
off. To give time to the debugger to sync with the MCU, the MDM AP Control Register
includes a Very-Low-Leakage Debug Request (VLLDBGREQ) bit that is set to configure
the Reset Controller logic to hold the system in reset after the next recovery from a VLLS
mode. This bit allows the debugger time to reinitialize the debug module before the
debug session continues.
The MDM AP Control Register also includes a Very Low Leakage Debug Acknowledge
(VLLDBGACK) bit that is set to release the ARM core being held in reset following a
VLLS recovery. The debugger reinitializes all debug IP, and then asserts the
VLLDBGACK control bit to allow the RCM to release the ARM core from reset and
allow CPU operation to begin.
The VLLDBGACK bit is cleared by the debugger (or can be left set as is) or clears
automatically due to the reset generated as part of the next VLLS recovery.

Power Management Controller (PMC)
15.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The power management controller (PMC) contains the internal voltage regulator, power
on reset (POR), and low voltage detect system.
See AN4503: Power Management for Kinetis and ColdFire+ MCUs for further details on
using the PMC.

15.2 Features
A list of included PMC features can be found here.
• Internal voltage regulator
• Active POR providing brown-out detect
• Low-voltage detect supporting two low-voltage trip points with four warning levels
per trip point

15.3 Low-voltage detect (LVD) system
This device includes a system to guard against low-voltage conditions. This protects
memory contents and controls MCU system states during supply voltage variations.
The system is comprised of a power-on reset (POR) circuit and a LVD circuit with a
user-selectable trip voltage: high (VLVDH) or low (VLVDL). The trip voltage is selected by
LVDSC1[LVDV]. The LVD is disabled upon entering VLPx, LLS, and VLLSx modes.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Low-voltage detect (LVD) system

Two flags are available to indicate the status of the low-voltage detect system:
• The Low Voltage Detect Flag in the Low Voltage Status and Control 1 Register
(LVDSC1[LVDF]) operates in a level sensitive manner. LVDSC1[LVDF] is set
when the supply voltage falls below the selected trip point (VLVD).
LVDSC1[LVDF] is cleared by writing 1 to LVDSC1[LVDACK], but only if the
internal supply has returned above the trip point; otherwise, LVDSC1[LVDF]
remains set.
• The Low Voltage Warning Flag (LVWF) in the Low Voltage Status and Control 2
Register (LVDSC2[LVWF]) operates in a level sensitive manner. LVDSC2[LVWF]
is set when the supply voltage falls below the selected monitor trip point (VLVW).
LVDSC2[LVWF] is cleared by writing one to LVDSC2[LVWACK], but only if the
internal supply has returned above the trip point; otherwise, LVDSC2[LVWF]
remains set.

15.3.1 LVD reset operation
By setting LVDSC1[LVDRE], the LVD generates a reset upon detection of a low-voltage
condition. The low-voltage detection threshold is determined by LVDSC1[LVDV]. After
an LVD reset occurs, the LVD system holds the MCU in reset until the supply voltage
rises above this threshold. The LVD field in the SRS register of the RCM module
(RCM_SRS0[LVD]) is set following an LVD or power-on reset.

15.3.2 LVD interrupt operation
By configuring the LVD circuit for interrupt operation (LVDSC1[LVDIE] set and
LVDSC1[LVDRE] clear), LVDSC1[LVDF] is set and an LVD interrupt request occurs
upon detection of a low voltage condition. LVDSC1[LVDF] is cleared by writing 1 to
LVDSC1[LVDACK].

15.3.3 Low-voltage warning (LVW) interrupt operation
The LVD system contains a Low-Voltage Warning Flag (LVWF) in the Low Voltage
Detect Status and Control 2 Register to indicate that the supply voltage is approaching,
but is above, the LVD voltage. The LVW also has an interrupt, which is enabled by
setting LVDSC2[LVWIE]. If enabled, an LVW interrupt request occurs when
LVDSC2[LVWF] is set. LVDSC2[LVWF] is cleared by writing 1 to
LVDSC2[LVWACK].

LVDSC2[LVWV] selects one of the four trip voltages:
• Highest: VLVW4
• Two mid-levels: VLVW3 and VLVW2
• Lowest: VLVW1

15.4 I/O retention
When in LLS mode, the I/O pins are held in their input or output state.
Upon wakeup, the PMC is re-enabled, goes through a power up sequence to full
regulation, and releases the logic from state retention mode. The I/O are released
immediately after a wake-up or reset event. In the case of LLS exit via a RESET pin, the
I/O default to their reset state.
When in VLLS modes, the I/O states are held on a wake-up event (with the exception of
wake-up by reset event) until the wake-up has been acknowledged via a write to
REGSC[ACKISO]. In the case of VLLS exit via a RESET pin, the I/O are released and
default to their reset state. In this case, no write to REGSC[ACKISO] is needed.

(PMC_LVDSC1)
This register contains status and control bits to support the low voltage detect function.
This register should be written during the reset initialization program to set the desired
controls even if the desired settings are the same as the reset settings.
While the device is in the very low power or low leakage modes, the LVD system is
disabled regardless of LVDSC1 settings. To protect systems that must have LVD always
on, configure the Power Mode Protection (PMPROT) register of the SMC module
(SMC_PMPROT) to disallow any very low power or low leakage modes from being
enabled.
See the device's data sheet for the exact LVD trip voltages.
NOTE
The LVDV bits are reset solely on a POR Only event. The
register's other bits are reset on Chip Reset Not VLLS. For
more information about these reset types, refer to the Reset
section details.

Low-Leakage Wakeup Unit (LLWU)
16.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The LLWU module allows the user to select up to 16 external pin sources and up to 8
internal modules as a wake-up source from low-leakage power modes.
The input sources are described in the device's chip configuration details. Each of the
available wake-up sources can be individually enabled.
The RESET pin is an additional source for triggering an exit from low-leakage power
modes, and causes the MCU to exit both LLS and VLLS through a reset flow. The
LLWU_RST[LLRSTE] bit must be set to allow an exit from low-leakage modes via the
RESET pin. On a device where the RESET pin is shared with other functions, the explicit
port mux control register must be set for the RESET pin before the RESET pin can be
used as a low-leakage reset source.
The LLWU module also includes optional digital pin filters: two for the external wakeup
pins and one for the RESET pin.

16.1.1 Features
The LLWU module features include:
• Support for up to 16 external input pins and up to 8 internal modules with individual
enable bits
• Input sources may be external pins or from internal peripherals capable of running in
LLS or VLLS. See the chip configuration information for wakeup input sources for
this device.

Introduction

• External pin wake-up inputs, each of which is programmable as falling-edge, risingedge, or any change
• Wake-up inputs that are activated if enabled after MCU enters a low-leakage power
mode
• Optional digital filters provided to qualify an external pin detect and RESET pin
detect. Note that when the LPO clock is disabled, the filters are disabled and
bypassed.

16.1.2 Modes of operation
The LLWU module becomes functional on entry into a low-leakage power mode. After
recovery from LLS, the LLWU is immediately disabled. After recovery from VLLS, the
LLWU continues to detect wake-up events until the user has acknowledged the wake-up
via a write to PMC_REGSC[ACKISO].

16.1.2.1 LLS mode
The wake-up events due to external wake-up inputs and internal module wake-up inputs
result in an interrupt flow when exiting LLS. A reset event due to RESET pin assertion
results in a reset flow when exiting LLS.
NOTE
The LLWU interrupt must not be masked by the interrupt
controller to avoid a scenario where the system does not fully
exit Stop mode on an LLS recovery.

16.1.2.2 VLLS modes
All wakeup and reset events result in VLLS exit via a reset flow.

16.1.2.3 Non-low leakage modes
The LLWU is not active in all non-low leakage modes where detection and control logic
are in a static state. The LLWU registers are accessible in non-low leakage modes and are
available for configuring and reading status when bus transactions are possible.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
368

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 16 Low-Leakage Wakeup Unit (LLWU)

When the RESET pin filter or wake-up pin filters are enabled, filter operation begins
immediately. If a low leakage mode is entered within five LPO clock cycles of an active
edge, the edge event will be detected by the LLWU. For RESET pin filtering, this means
that there is no restart to the minimum LPO cycle duration as the filtering transitions
from a non-low leakage filter, which is implemented in the RCM, to the LLWU filter.

16.1.2.4 Debug mode
When the chip is in Debug mode and then enters LLS or a VLLSx mode, no debug logic
works in the fully-functional low-leakage mode. Upon an exit from the LLS or VLLSx
mode, the LLWU becomes inactive.

The following figure is the block diagram for the LLWU module.

Functional description

16.4 Functional description
This on-chip peripheral module is called a low-leakage wakeup unit (LLWU) module
because it allows internal peripherals and external input pins as a source of wakeup from
low-leakage modes.
It is operational only in LLS and VLLSx modes.
The LLWU module contains pin enables for each external pin and internal module. For
each external pin, the user can disable or select the edge type for the wakeup. Type
options are:
• Falling-edge
• Rising-edge
• Either-edge
When an external pin is enabled as a wakeup source, the pin must be configured as an
input pin.
The LLWU implements optional 3-cycle glitch filters, based on the LPO clock. A
detected external pin, either wakeup or RESET, is required to remain asserted until the
enabled glitch filter times out. Additional latency of up to 2 cycles is due to
synchronization, which results in a total of up to 5 cycles of delay before the detect
circuit alerts the system to the wakeup or reset event when the filter function is enabled.
Two wakeup detect filters are available for selected external pins. A separate reset filter
is on the RESET pin. Glitch filtering is not provided on the internal modules.
For internal module wakeup operation, the WUMEx bit enables the associated module as
a wakeup source.

16.4.1 LLS mode
Wakeup events triggered from either an external pin input or an internal module input
result in a CPU interrupt flow to begin user code execution.
An LLS reset event due to RESET pin assertion causes an exit via a system reset. State
retention data is lost, and the I/O states return to their reset state. The
RCM_SRS[WAKEUP] and RCM_SRS[PIN] bits are set and the system executes a reset
flow before CPU operation begins with a reset vector fetch.

386

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 16 Low-Leakage Wakeup Unit (LLWU)

16.4.2 VLLS modes
In the case of a wakeup due to external pin or internal module wakeup, recovery is
always via a reset flow and RCM_SRS[WAKEUP] is set indicating the low-leakage
mode was active. State retention data is lost and I/O will be restored after
PMC_REGSC[ACKISO] has been written.
A VLLS exit event due to RESET pin assertion causes an exit via a system reset. State
retention data is lost and the I/O states immediately return to their reset state. The
RCM_SRS[WAKEUP] and RCM_SRS[PIN] bits are set and the system executes a reset
flow before CPU operation begins with a reset vector fetch.

16.4.3 Initialization
For an enabled peripheral wakeup input, the peripheral flag must be cleared by software
before entering LLS or VLLSx mode to avoid an immediate exit from the mode.
Flags associated with external input pins, filtered and unfiltered, must also be cleared by
software prior to entry to LLS or VLLSx mode.
After enabling an external pin filter or changing the source pin, wait at least five LPO
clock cycles before entering LLS or VLLSx mode to allow the filter to initialize.
NOTE
After recovering from a VLLS mode, user must restore chip
configuration before clearing PMC_REGSC[ACKISO]. In
particular, pin configuration for enabled LLWU wake-up pins
must be restored to avoid any LLWU flag from being falsely set
when PMC_REGSC[ACKISO] is cleared.
The signal selected as a wake-up source pin must be a digital
pin, as selected in the pin mux control.

17.3 Functional description
This section describes the functional description of MCM module.

17.3.1 Interrupts
The MCM generates two interrupt requests:
• Non-maskable interrupt
• Normal interrupt

17.3.1.1 Non-maskable interrupt
The MCM's NMI is generated if:
• ISCR[ETBN] is set, when
• The ETB counter is enabled, ETBCC[CNTEN] = 1
• The ETB count expires
• The response to counter expiration is an NMI, MCM_ETBCC[RSPT] = 10

Functional description

17.3.1.2 Normal interrupt
The MCM's normal interrupt is generated if any of the following is true:
• ISCR[ETBI] is set, when
• The ETB counter is enabled, ETBCC[CNTEN] = 1
• The ETB count expires
• The response to counter expiration is a normal interrupt, ETBCC[RSPT] = 01
• FPU input denormal interrupt is enabled (FIDCE) and an input is denormalized
(FIDC)
• FPU inexact interrupt is enabled (FIXCE) and a number is inexact (FIXC)
• FPU underflow interrupt is enabled (FUFCE) and an underflow occurs (FUFC)
• FPU overflow interrupt is enabled (FOFCE) and an overflow occurs (FOFC)
• FPU divide-by-zero interrupt is enabled (FDZCE) and a divide-by-zero occurs
(FDZC)
• FPU invalid operation interrupt is enabled (FDZCE) and an invalid occurs (FDZC)

17.3.1.3 Determining source of the normal interrupt
To determine the exact source of the normal interrupt qualify the interrupt status flags
with the corresponding interrupt enable bits.
1. Form MCM_ISCR[31:16] && MCM_ISCR[15:0]
2. Search the result for asserted flags, which indicate the exact interrupt sources

Crossbar Switch (AXBS)
18.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The information found here provides information on the layout, configuration, and
programming of the crossbar switch.
The crossbar switch connects bus masters and bus slaves using a crossbar switch
structure. This structure allows all bus masters to access different bus slaves
simultaneously, while providing arbitration among the bus masters when they access the
same slave. A variety of bus arbitration methods and attributes may be programmed on a
slave-by-slave basis.

18.1.1 Features
The crossbar switch includes these features:
• Symmetric crossbar bus switch implementation
• Allows concurrent accesses from different masters to different slaves
• Slave arbitration attributes configured on a slave-by-slave basis
• 32-bit data bus
• Support for byte, 2-byte, 4-byte, and 16-byte burst transfers
• Operation at a 1-to-1 clock frequency with the bus masters
• Low-Power Park mode support

Memory Map / Register Definition

18.2 Memory Map / Register Definition
Each slave port of the crossbar switch contains configuration registers. Read- and writetransfers require two bus clock cycles. The registers can be read from and written to only
in supervisor mode. Additionally, these registers can be read from or written to only by
32-bit accesses.
A bus error response is returned if an unimplemented location is accessed within the
crossbar switch.
The slave registers also feature a bit that, when set, prevents the registers from being
written. The registers remain readable, but future write attempts have no effect on the
registers and are terminated with a bus error response to the master initiating the write.
The core, for example, takes a bus error interrupt.
NOTE
This section shows the registers for all eight master and slave
ports. If a master or slave is not used on this particular device,
then unexpected results occur when writing to its registers. See
the chip configuration details for the exact master/slave
assignments for your device.

18.2.1 Priority Registers Slave (AXBS_PRSn)
The priority registers (PRSn) set the priority of each master port on a per slave port basis
and reside in each slave port. The priority register can be accessed only with 32-bit
accesses. After the CRSn[RO] bit is set, the PRSn register can only be read; attempts to
write to it have no effect on PRSn and result in a bus-error response to the master
initiating the write.
Two available masters must not be programmed with the same priority level. Attempts to
program two or more masters with the same priority level result in a bus-error response
and the PRSn is not updated.
NOTE
Valid values for the Mn priority fields depend on which masters
are available on the chip. This information can be found in the
chip-specific information for the crossbar.
• If the chip contains less than five masters, values 0 to 3 are
valid. Writing other values will result in an error.
• If the chip contains five or more masters, valid values are 0
to n-1, where n is the number of masters attached to the
AXBS module. Other values will result in an error.

18.3 Functional Description
18.3.1 General operation
When a master accesses the crossbar switch, the access is immediately taken. If the
targeted slave port of the access is available, then the access is immediately presented on
the slave port. Single-clock or zero-wait-state accesses are possible through the crossbar.
If the targeted slave port of the access is busy or parked on a different master port, the
requesting master simply sees wait states inserted until the targeted slave port can service
the master's request. The latency in servicing the request depends on each master's
priority level and the responding slave's access time.
Because the crossbar switch appears to be just another slave to the master device, the
master device has no knowledge of whether it actually owns the slave port it is targeting.
While the master does not have control of the slave port it is targeting, it simply waits.
A master is given control of the targeted slave port only after a previous access to a
different slave port completes, regardless of its priority on the newly targeted slave port.
This prevents deadlock from occurring when:
• A higher priority master has:
• An outstanding request to one slave port that has a long response time and
• A pending access to a different slave port, and
• A lower priority master is also making a request to the same slave port as the pending
access of the higher priority master.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
408

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 18 Crossbar Switch (AXBS)

After the master has control of the slave port it is targeting, the master remains in control
of the slave port until it relinquishes the slave port by running an IDLE cycle or by
targeting a different slave port for its next access.
The master can also lose control of the slave port if another higher-priority master makes
a request to the slave port. However, if the master is running a fixed- or undefined-length
burst transfer it retains control of the slave port until that transfer completes. Based on
MGPCR[AULB], the master either retains control of the slave port when doing
undefined-length, incrementing burst transfers or loses the bus to a higher-priority
master.
The crossbar terminates all master IDLE transfers, as opposed to allowing the termination
to come from one of the slave buses. Additionally, when no master is requesting access to
a slave port, the crossbar drives IDLE transfers onto the slave bus, even though a default
master may be granted access to the slave port.
When a slave bus is being idled by the crossbar, it can park the slave port on the master
port indicated by CRSn[PARK]. This is done to save the initial clock of arbitration delay
that otherwise would be seen if the master had to arbitrate to gain control of the slave
port. The slave port can also be put into Low Power Park mode to save power, by using
CRSn[PCTL].

18.3.2 Register coherency
The operation of the crossbar is affected as soon as a register is written. The values of the
registers do not track with slave-port-related master accesses, but instead track only with
slave accesses.
The MGPCRx[AULB] bits are the exception to this rule. The update of these bits is only
recognized when the master on that master port runs an IDLE cycle, even though the
slave bus cycle to write them will have already terminated successfully. If the
MGPCRx[AULB] bits are written between two burst accesses, the new AULB encodings
do not take effect until an IDLE cycle is initiated by the master on that master port.

18.3.3 Arbitration
The crossbar switch supports two arbitration algorithms:
• Fixed priority
• Round-robin
The arbitration scheme is independently programmable for each slave port.

Functional Description

18.3.3.1 Arbitration during undefined length bursts
Arbitration points during an undefined length burst are defined by the current master's
MGPCR[AULB] field setting. When a defined length is imposed on the burst via the
AULB bits, the undefined length burst is treated as a single or series of single back-toback fixed-length burst accesses.
The following figure illustrates an example:

Figure 18-28. Undefined length burst example

In this example, a master runs an undefined length burst and the MGPCR[AULB] bits
indicate arbitration occurs after the fourth beat of the burst. The master runs two
sequential beats and then starts what will be a 12-beat undefined length burst access to a
new address within the same slave port region as the previous access. The crossbar does
not allow an arbitration point until the fourth overall access, or the second beat of the
second burst. At that point, all remaining accesses are open for arbitration until the master
loses control of the slave port.
Assume the master loses control of the slave port after the fifth beat of the second burst.
After the master regains control of the slave port no arbitration point is available until
after the master has run four more beats of its burst. After the fourth beat of the now
continued burst, or the ninth beat of the second burst from the master's perspective, is
taken, all beats of the burst are once again open for arbitration until the master loses
control of the slave port.
Assume the master again loses control of the slave port on the fifth beat of the third now
continued burst, or the 10th beat of the second burst from the master's perspective. After
the master regains control of the slave port, it is allowed to complete its final two beats of
its burst without facing arbitration.
Note
Fixed-length burst accesses are not affected by the AULB bits.
All fixed-length burst accesses lock out arbitration until the last
beat of the fixed-length burst.

Chapter 18 Crossbar Switch (AXBS)

18.3.3.2 Fixed-priority operation
When operating in fixed-priority mode, each master is assigned a unique priority level in
the priority registers (PRSn). If two masters request access to the same slave port, the
master with the highest priority in the selected priority register gains control over the
slave port.
NOTE
In this arbitration mode, a higher-priority master can
monopolize a slave port, preventing accesses from any lowerpriority master to the port.
When a master makes a request to a slave port, the slave port checks whether the new
requesting master's priority level is higher than that of the master that currently has
control over the slave port, unless the slave port is in a parked state. The slave port
performs an arbitration check at every clock edge to ensure that the proper master, if any,
has control of the slave port.
The following table describes possible scenarios based on the requesting master port:

Then AXBS grants control to the requesting master

Both of the following are true:
At the next clock edge
• The current master is not running a transfer.
• The new requesting master's priority level is higher than
that of the current master.
Both of the following are true:

• The current master is running a fixed length burst

• The requesting master's priority level is higher than that

• An IDLE cycle
• A non-IDLE cycle to a location other than the current
slave port

18.3.3.3 Round-robin priority operation
When operating in round-robin mode, each master is assigned a relative priority based on
the master port number. This relative priority is compared to the master port number (ID)
of the last master to perform a transfer on the slave bus. The highest priority requesting
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

411

Initialization/application information

master becomes owner of the slave bus at the next transfer boundary, accounting for
locked and fixed-length burst transfers. Priority is based on how far ahead the ID of the
requesting master is to the ID of the last master.
After granted access to a slave port, a master may perform as many transfers as desired to
that port until another master makes a request to the same slave port. The next master in
line is granted access to the slave port at the next transfer boundary, or possibly on the
next clock cycle if the current master has no pending access request.
As an example of arbitration in round-robin mode, assume the crossbar is implemented
with master ports 0, 1, 4, and 5. If the last master of the slave port was master 1, and
master 0, 4, and 5 make simultaneous requests, they are serviced in the order: 4 then 5
then 0.
Parking may continue to be used in a round-robin mode, but does not affect the roundrobin pointer unless the parked master actually performs a transfer. Handoff occurs to the
next master in line after one cycle of arbitration. If the slave port is put into low-power
park mode, the round-robin pointer is reset to point at master port 0, giving it the highest
priority.

18.3.3.4 Priority assignment
Each master port must be assigned a unique 3-bit priority level. If an attempt is made to
program multiple master ports with the same priority level within the priority registers
(PRSn), the crossbar switch responds with a bus error and the registers are not updated.

18.4 Initialization/application information
No initialization is required for the crossbar switch.
Hardware reset ensures all the register bits used by the crossbar switch are properly
initialized to a valid state. However, settings and priorities may be programmed to
achieve maximum system performance.

Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
19.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The memory protection unit (MPU) provides hardware access control for all memory
references generated in the device.

19.2 Overview
The MPU concurrently monitors all system bus transactions and evaluates their
appropriateness using pre-programmed region descriptors that define memory spaces and
their access rights. Memory references that have sufficient access control rights are
allowed to complete, while references that are not mapped to any region descriptor or
have insufficient rights are terminated with a protection error response.

peripheral bus interface on the right side. The evaluation macro contains two magnitude
comparators connected to the start and end address registers from each region descriptor
as well as the combinational logic blocks to determine the region hit and the access
protection error. For details of the access evaluation macro, see Access evaluation macro.

19.2.2 Features
The MPU implements a two-dimensional hardware array of memory region descriptors
and the crossbar slave ports to continuously monitor the legality of every memory
reference generated by each bus master in the system.
The feature set includes:
• 12 program-visible 128-bit region descriptors, accessible by four 32-bit words each
• Each region descriptor defines a modulo-32 byte space, aligned anywhere in
memory

Chapter 19 Memory Protection Unit (MPU)

• Region sizes can vary from 32 bytes to 4 Gbytes
• Two access control permissions defined in a single descriptor word
• Masters 0–3: read, write, and execute attributes for supervisor and user
accesses
• Masters 4–7: read and write attributes
• Hardware-assisted maintenance of the descriptor valid bit minimizes coherency
issues
• Alternate programming model view of the access control permissions word
• Priority given to granting permission over denying access for overlapping region
descriptors
• Detects access protection errors if a memory reference does not hit in any memory
region, or if the reference is illegal in all hit memory regions. If an access error
occurs, the reference is terminated with an error response, and the MPU inhibits the
bus cycle being sent to the targeted slave device.
• Error registers, per slave port, capture the last faulting address, attributes, and other
information
• Global MPU enable/disable control bit

19.3 Memory map/register definition
The programming model is partitioned into three groups:
• Control/status registers
• The data structure containing the region descriptors
• The alternate view of the region descriptor access control values
The programming model can only be referenced using 32-bit accesses. Attempted
references using different access sizes, to undefined, that is, reserved, addresses, or with a
non-supported access type, such as a write to a read-only register, or a read of a writeonly register, generate an error termination.
The programming model can be accessed only in supervisor mode.
NOTE
See the chip configuration details for any chip-specific register
information in this module.

Slave Port n Error
Indicates a captured error in EARn and EDRn. This bit is set when the hardware detects an error and
records the faulting address and attributes. It is cleared by writing one to it. If another error is captured at
the exact same cycle as the write, the flag remains set. A find-first-one instruction or equivalent can detect
the presence of a captured error.
The following shows the correspondence between the bit number and slave port number:

19.3.6 Region Descriptor n, Word 2 (MPU_RGDn_WORD2)
The third word of the region descriptor defines the access control rights of the memory
region. The access control privileges depend on two broad classifications of bus masters:
• Bus masters 0–3 have a 5-bit field defining separate privilege rights for user and
supervisor mode accesses, as well as the optional inclusion of a process identification
field within the definition.
• Bus masters 4–7 are limited to separate read and write permissions.
For the privilege rights of bus masters 0–3, there are three flags associated with this
function:
• Read (r) refers to accessing the referenced memory address using an operand (data)
fetch

• Write (w) refers to updating the referenced memory address using a store (data)
instruction
• Execute (x) refers to reading the referenced memory address using an instruction

Writes to RGDn_WORD2 clear the region descriptor’s valid bit
(RGDn_WORD3[VLD]). If only updating the access controls, write to RGDAACn
instead because stores to these locations do not affect the descriptor’s valid bit.

19.4 Functional description
In this section, the functional operation of the MPU is detailed, including the operation of
the access evaluation macro and the handling of error-terminated bus cycles.

19.4.1 Access evaluation macro
The basic operation of the MPU is performed in the access evaluation macro, a hardware
structure replicated in the two-dimensional connection matrix. As shown in the following
figure, the access evaluation macro inputs the crossbar bus address phase signals and the
contents of a region descriptor (RGDn) and performs two major functions:
• Region hit determination
• Detection of an access protection violation
The following figure shows a functional block diagram.

19.4.1.1 Hit determination
To determine whether the current reference hits in the given region, two magnitude
comparators are used with the region's start and end addresses. The boolean equation for
this portion of the hit determination is:
region_hit = ((addr[31:5] >= RGDn_Word0[SRTADDR]) & (addr[31:5] <= RGDn_Word1[ENDADDR])) &
RGDn_Word3[VLD]

where addr is the current reference address, RGDn_Word0[SRTADDR] and
RGDn_Word1[ENDADDR] are the start and end addresses, and RGDn_Word3[VLD] is
the valid bit.
NOTE
The MPU does not verify that ENDADDR ≥ SRTADDR.
In addition to the comparison of the reference address versus the region descriptor's start
and end addresses, the optional process identifier is examined against the region
descriptor's PID and PIDMASK fields. A process identifier hit term is formed as follows:
pid_hit = ~RGDn_Word2[MxPE] |
((current_pid |
RGDn_Word3[PIDMASK]) == (RGDn_Word3[PID] | RGDn_Word3[PIDMASK]))

where the current_pid is the selected process identifier from the current bus master, and
RGDn_Word3[PID] and RGDn_Word3[PIDMASK] are the process identifier fields from
region descriptor n. For bus masters that do not output a process identifier, the MPU
forces the pid_hit term to assert.

Functional description

19.4.1.2 Privilege violation determination
While the access evaluation macro is determining region hit, the logic is also evaluating
if the current access is allowed by the permissions defined in the region descriptor. Using
the master and supervisor/user mode signals, a set of effective permissions is generated
from the appropriate fields in the region descriptor. The protection violation logic then
evaluates the access against the effective permissions using the specification shown
below.

19.4.2 Putting it all together and error terminations
For each slave port monitored, the MPU performs a reduction-AND of all the individual
terms from each access evaluation macro. This expression then terminates the bus cycle
with an error and reports a protection error for three conditions:
• If the access does not hit in any region descriptor, a protection error is reported.
• If the access hits in a single region descriptor and that region signals a protection
violation, a protection error is reported.
• If the access hits in multiple (overlapping) regions and all regions signal protection
violations, a protection error is reported.
As shown in the third condition, granting permission is a higher priority than denying
access for overlapping regions. This approach is more flexible to system software in
region descriptor assignments. For an example of the use of overlapping region
descriptors, see Application information.

Chapter 19 Memory Protection Unit (MPU)

19.4.3 Power management
Disabling the MPU by clearing CESR[VLD] minimizes power dissipation. To minimize
the power dissipation of an enabled MPU, invalidate unused region descriptors by
clearing the associated RGDn_Word3[VLD] bits.

19.5 Initialization information
At system startup, load the appropriate number of region descriptors, including setting
RGDn_Word3[VLD]. Setting CESR[VLD] enables the module.
If the system requires that all the loaded region descriptors be enabled simultaneously,
first ensure that the entire MPU is disabled (CESR[VLD]=0).
Note
A region descriptor must be set to allow access to the MPU
registers if further changes are needed.

19.6 Application information
In an operational system, interfacing with the MPU is generally classified into the
following activities:
• Creating a new memory region—Load the appropriate region descriptor into an
available RGDn, using four sequential 32-bit writes. The hardware assists in the
maintenance of the valid bit, so if this approach is followed, there are no coherency
issues with the multi-cycle descriptor writes. (Clearing RGDn_Word3[VLD] deletes/
removes an existing memory region.)
• Altering only access privileges—To not affect the valid bit, write to the alternate
version of the access control word (RGDAACn), so there are no coherency issues
involved with the update. When the write completes, the memory region's access
rights switch instantaneously to the new value.
• Changing a region's start and end addresses—Write a minimum of three words to the
region descriptor (RGDn_Word{0,1,3}). Word 0 and 1 redefine the start and end
addresses, respectively. Word 3 re-enables the region descriptor valid bit. In most
situations, all four words of the region descriptor are rewritten.
• Accessing the MPU—Allocate a region descriptor to restrict MPU access to
supervisor mode from a specific master.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

431

Application information

• Detecting an access error—The current bus cycle is terminated with an error
response and EARn and EDRn capture information on the faulting reference. The
error-terminated bus cycle typically initiates an error response in the originating bus
master. For example, a processor core may respond with a bus error exception, while
a data movement bus master may respond with an error interrupt. The processor can
retrieve the captured error address and detail information simply by reading
E{A,D}Rn. CESR[SPERR] signals which error registers contain captured fault data.
• Overlapping region descriptors—Applying overlapping regions often reduces the
number of descriptors required for a given set of access controls. In the overlapping
memory space, the protection rights of the corresponding region descriptors are
logically summed together (the boolean OR operator).
The following dual-core system example contains four bus masters:
• The two processors: CP0, CP1
• Two DMA engines: DMA1, a traditional data movement engine transferring data
between RAM and peripherals and DMA2, a second engine transferring data to/
from the RAM only
Consider the following region descriptor assignments:

In this example, there are eight descriptors used to span nine regions in the three main
spaces of the system memory map: flash, RAM, and peripheral space. Each region
indicates the specific permissions for each of the four bus masters and this definition
provides an appropriate set of shared, private and executable memory spaces.
Of particular interest are the two overlapping spaces: region descriptors 2 & 3 and 3 & 4.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
432

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 19 Memory Protection Unit (MPU)

The space defined by RGD2 with no overlap is a private data and stack area that provides
read/write access to CP0 only. The overlapping space between RGD2 and RGD3 defines
a shared data space for passing data from CP0 to CP1 and the access controls are defined
by the logical OR of the two region descriptors. Thus, CP0 has (rw- | r--) = (rw-)
permissions, while CP1 has (--- | r--) = (r--) permission in this space. Both DMA engines
are excluded from this shared processor data region. The overlapping spaces between
RGD3 and RGD4 defines another shared data space, this one for passing data from CP1
to CP0. For this overlapping space, CP0 has (r-- | ---) = (r--) permission, while CP1 has
(rw- | r--) = (rw-) permission. The non-overlapped space of RGD4 defines a private data
and stack area for CP1 only.
The space defined by RGD5 is a shared data region, accessible by all four bus masters.
Finally, the slave peripheral space mapped onto the IPS bus is partitioned into two
regions:
• One containing the MPU's programming model accessible only to the two processor
cores
• The remaining peripheral region accessible to both processors and the traditional
DMA1 master
This example shows one possible application of the capabilities of the MPU in a typical
system.

Peripheral Bridge (AIPS-Lite)
20.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The peripheral bridge converts the crossbar switch interface to an interface that can
access most of the slave peripherals on this chip.
The peripheral bridge occupies 64 MB of the address space, which is divided into
peripheral slots of 4 KB. (It might be possible that all the peripheral slots are not used.
See the memory map chapter for details on slot assignments.) The bridge includes
separate clock enable inputs for each of the slots to accommodate slower peripherals.

Key features of the peripheral bridge are:
• Supports peripheral slots with 8-, 16-, and 32-bit datapath width
• Programming model provides memory protection functionality

20.1.2 General operation
The slave devices connected to the peripheral bridge are modules which contain a
programming model of control and status registers. The system masters read and write
these registers through the peripheral bridge. The peripheral bridge performs a bus
protocol conversion of the master transactions and generates the following as inputs to
the peripherals:

The peripheral bridge selects and captures read data from the peripheral interface and
returns it to the crossbar switch.
The register maps of the peripherals are located on 4-KB boundaries. Each peripheral is
allocated one or more 4-KB block(s) of the memory map. Two global external module
enables are available for the remaining address space to allow for customization and
expansion of addressed peripheral devices.
The AIPS-Lite module uses the data width of accessed peripheral to perform proper data
byte lane routing; no bus decomposition (bus sizing) is performed.

20.2 Memory map/register definition
The 32-bit peripheral bridge registers can be accessed only in supervisor mode by trusted
bus masters. Additionally, these registers must be read from or written to only by a 32-bit
aligned access. The peripheral bridge registers are mapped into the PACRA[PACR0]
address space.

20.2.1 Master Privilege Register A (AIPSx_MPRA)
The MPRA specifies identical 4-bit fields defining the access-privilege level associated
with a bus master to various peripherals on the chip. The register provides one field per
bus master.
NOTE
At reset, the default value loaded into the MPRA fields is chipspecific. See the chip configuration details for the value of a
particular device.
A register field that maps to an unimplemented master or peripheral behaves as readonly-zero.
Each master is assigned a logical ID from 0 to 15. See the master logical ID assignment
table in the chip-specific AIPS information.

20.2.2 Peripheral Access Control Register (AIPSx_PACRn)
Each PACR register consists of eight 4-bit PACR fields. Each PACR field defines the
access levels for a particular peripheral. The mapping between a peripheral and its PACR
field is shown in the table below. The peripheral assignment to each PACR is defined by
the memory map slot that the peripheral is assigned to. See this chip's memory map for
the assignment of a particular peripheral.
The following table shows the location of each peripheral slot's PACR field in the PACR
registers.

20.3 Functional description
The peripheral bridge functions as a bus protocol translator between the crossbar switch
and the slave peripheral bus.
The peripheral bridge manages all transactions destined for the attached slave devices and
generates select signals for modules on the peripheral bus by decoding accesses within
the attached address space.

20.3.1 Access support
Aligned and misaligned 32-bit, 16-bit, and byte accesses are supported for 32-bit
peripherals. Misaligned accesses are supported to allow memory to be placed on the slave
peripheral bus. Peripheral registers must not be misaligned, although no explicit checking
is performed by the peripheral bridge. All accesses are performed with a single transfer.

Direct Memory Access Multiplexer (DMAMUX)
21.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.

21.1.1 Overview
The Direct Memory Access Multiplexer (DMAMUX) routes DMA sources, called slots,
to any of the 16 DMA channels. This process is illustrated in the following figure.

21.1.2 Features
The DMAMUX module provides these features:
• Up to 52 peripheral slots and up to 10 always-on slots can be routed to 16 channels.
• 16 independently selectable DMA channel routers.
• The first four channels additionally provide a trigger functionality.
• Each channel router can be assigned to one of the possible peripheral DMA slots or
to one of the always-on slots.

21.1.3 Modes of operation
The following operating modes are available:
• Disabled mode
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
456

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 21 Direct Memory Access Multiplexer (DMAMUX)

In this mode, the DMA channel is disabled. Because disabling and enabling of DMA
channels is done primarily via the DMA configuration registers, this mode is used
mainly as the reset state for a DMA channel in the DMA channel MUX. It may also
be used to temporarily suspend a DMA channel while reconfiguration of the system
takes place, for example, changing the period of a DMA trigger.
• Normal mode
In this mode, a DMA source is routed directly to the specified DMA channel. The
operation of the DMAMUX in this mode is completely transparent to the system.
• Periodic Trigger mode
In this mode, a DMA source may only request a DMA transfer, such as when a
transmit buffer becomes empty or a receive buffer becomes full, periodically.
Configuration of the period is done in the registers of the periodic interrupt timer
(PIT). This mode is available only for channels 0–3.

21.2 External signal description
The DMAMUX has no external pins.

Triggering is disabled. If triggering is disabled and ENBL is set, the DMA Channel will simply route the
specified source to the DMA channel. (Normal mode)
Triggering is enabled. If triggering is enabled and ENBL is set, the DMAMUX is in Periodic Trigger
mode.

DMA Channel Source (Slot)
Specifies which DMA source, if any, is routed to a particular DMA channel. See your device's chip
configuration details for information about the peripherals and their slot numbers.

21.4 Functional description
The primary purpose of the DMAMUX is to provide flexibility in the system's use of the
available DMA channels.
As such, configuration of the DMAMUX is intended to be a static procedure done during
execution of the system boot code. However, if the procedure outlined in Enabling and
configuring sources is followed, the configuration of the DMAMUX may be changed
during the normal operation of the system.
Functionally, the DMAMUX channels may be divided into two classes:
• Channels that implement the normal routing functionality plus periodic triggering
capability
• Channels that implement only the normal routing functionality

21.4.1 DMA channels with periodic triggering capability
Besides the normal routing functionality, the first 4 channels of the DMAMUX provide a
special periodic triggering capability that can be used to provide an automatic mechanism
to transmit bytes, frames, or packets at fixed intervals without the need for processor
intervention. The trigger is generated by the periodic interrupt timer (PIT); as such, the
configuration of the periodic triggering interval is done via configuration registers in the
PIT. See the section on periodic interrupt timer for more information on this topic.
Note
Because of the dynamic nature of the system (due to DMA
channel priorities, bus arbitration, interrupt service routine
lengths, etc.), the number of clock cycles between a trigger and
the actual DMA transfer cannot be guaranteed.

The DMA channel triggering capability allows the system to schedule regular DMA
transfers, usually on the transmit side of certain peripherals, without the intervention of
the processor. This trigger works by gating the request from the peripheral to the DMA
until a trigger event has been seen. This is illustrated in the following figure.
Peripheral request

Trigger

DMA request

Figure 21-20. DMAMUX channel triggering: normal operation

After the DMA request has been serviced, the peripheral will negate its request,
effectively resetting the gating mechanism until the peripheral reasserts its request and
the next trigger event is seen. This means that if a trigger is seen, but the peripheral is not
requesting a transfer, then that trigger will be ignored. This situation is illustrated in the
following figure.

Figure 21-21. DMAMUX channel triggering: ignored trigger

This triggering capability may be used with any peripheral that supports DMA transfers,
and is most useful for two types of situations:
• Periodically polling external devices on a particular bus
As an example, the transmit side of an SPI is assigned to a DMA channel with a
trigger, as described above. After it has been set up, the SPI will request DMA
transfers, presumably from memory, as long as its transmit buffer is empty. By using
a trigger on this channel, the SPI transfers can be automatically performed every 5 μs
(as an example). On the receive side of the SPI, the SPI and DMA can be configured
to transfer receive data into memory, effectively implementing a method to
periodically read data from external devices and transfer the results into memory
without processor intervention.
• Using the GPIO ports to drive or sample waveforms
By configuring the DMA to transfer data to one or more GPIO ports, it is possible to
create complex waveforms using tabular data stored in on-chip memory. Conversely,
using the DMA to periodically transfer data from one or more GPIO ports, it is
possible to sample complex waveforms and store the results in tabular form in onchip memory.
A more detailed description of the capability of each trigger, including resolution, range
of values, and so on, may be found in the periodic interrupt timer section.

21.4.2 DMA channels with no triggering capability
The other channels of the DMAMUX provide the normal routing functionality as
described in Modes of operation.

21.4.3 Always-enabled DMA sources
In addition to the peripherals that can be used as DMA sources, there are 10 additional
DMA sources that are always enabled. Unlike the peripheral DMA sources, where the
peripheral controls the flow of data during DMA transfers, the sources that are always
enabled provide no such "throttling" of the data transfers. These sources are most useful
in the following cases:
• Performing DMA transfers to/from GPIO—Moving data from/to one or more GPIO
pins, either unthrottled (that is, as fast as possible), or periodically (using the DMA
triggering capability).
• Performing DMA transfers from memory to memory—Moving data from memory to
memory, typically as fast as possible, sometimes with software activation.
• Performing DMA transfers from memory to the external bus, or vice-versa—Similar
to memory to memory transfers, this is typically done as quickly as possible.
• Any DMA transfer that requires software activation—Any DMA transfer that should
be explicitly started by software.
In cases where software should initiate the start of a DMA transfer, an always-enabled
DMA source can be used to provide maximum flexibility. When activating a DMA
channel via software, subsequent executions of the minor loop require that a new start
event be sent. This can either be a new software activation, or a transfer request from the
DMA channel MUX. The options for doing this are:
• Transfer all data in a single minor loop.
By configuring the DMA to transfer all of the data in a single minor loop (that is,
major loop counter = 1), no reactivation of the channel is necessary. The
disadvantage to this option is the reduced granularity in determining the load that the
DMA transfer will impose on the system. For this option, the DMA channel must be
disabled in the DMA channel MUX.
• Use explicit software reactivation.
In this option, the DMA is configured to transfer the data using both minor and major
loops, but the processor is required to reactivate the channel by writing to the DMA
registers after every minor loop. For this option, the DMA channel must be disabled
in the DMA channel MUX.
• Use an always-enabled DMA source.

Chapter 21 Direct Memory Access Multiplexer (DMAMUX)

In this option, the DMA is configured to transfer the data using both minor and major
loops, and the DMA channel MUX does the channel reactivation. For this option, the
DMA channel should be enabled and pointing to an "always enabled" source. Note
that the reactivation of the channel can be continuous (DMA triggering is disabled)
or can use the DMA triggering capability. In this manner, it is possible to execute
periodic transfers of packets of data from one source to another, without processor
intervention.

21.5 Initialization/application information
This section provides instructions for initializing the DMA channel MUX.

21.5.1 Reset
The reset state of each individual bit is shown in Memory map/register definition. In
summary, after reset, all channels are disabled and must be explicitly enabled before use.

21.5.2 Enabling and configuring sources
To enable a source with periodic triggering:
1. Determine with which DMA channel the source will be associated. Note that only the
first 4 DMA channels have periodic triggering capability.
2. Clear the CHCFG[ENBL] and CHCFG[TRIG] fields of the DMA channel.
3. Ensure that the DMA channel is properly configured in the DMA. The DMA channel
may be enabled at this point.
4. Configure the corresponding timer.
5. Select the source to be routed to the DMA channel. Write to the corresponding
CHCFG register, ensuring that the CHCFG[ENBL] and CHCFG[TRIG] fields are
set.
NOTE
The following is an example. See the chip configuration details
for the number of this device's DMA channels that have
triggering capability.
To configure source #5 transmit for use with DMA channel 1, with periodic triggering
capability:
1. Write 0x00 to CHCFG1 (base address + 0x01).

Initialization/application information

2. Configure channel 1 in the DMA, including enabling the channel.
3. Configure a timer for the desired trigger interval.
4. Write 0xC5 to CHCFG1 (base address + 0x01).
The following code example illustrates steps 1 and 4 above:
void DMAMUX_Init(uint8_t DMA_CH, uint8_t DMAMUX_SOURCE)
{
DMAMUX_0.CHCFG[DMA_CH].B.SOURCE = DMAMUX_SOURCE;
DMAMUX_0.CHCFG[DMA_CH].B.ENBL
= 1;
DMAMUX_0.CHCFG[DMA_CH].B.TRIG
= 1;
}

To enable a source, without periodic triggering:
1. Determine with which DMA channel the source will be associated. Note that only the
first 4 DMA channels have periodic triggering capability.
2. Clear the CHCFG[ENBL] and CHCFG[TRIG] fields of the DMA channel.
3. Ensure that the DMA channel is properly configured in the DMA. The DMA channel
may be enabled at this point.
4. Select the source to be routed to the DMA channel. Write to the corresponding
CHCFG register, ensuring that CHCFG[ENBL] is set while CHCFG[TRIG] is
cleared.
NOTE
The following is an example. See the chip configuration details
for the number of this device's DMA channels that have
triggering capability.
To configure source #5 transmit for use with DMA channel 1, with no periodic triggering
capability:
1. Write 0x00 to CHCFG1 (base address + 0x01).
2. Configure channel 1 in the DMA, including enabling the channel.
3. Write 0x85 to CHCFG1 (base address + 0x01).
The following code example illustrates steps 1 and 3 above:

To disable a source:
A particular DMA source may be disabled by not writing the corresponding source value
into any of the CHCFG registers. Additionally, some module-specific configuration may
be necessary. See the appropriate section for more details.
To switch the source of a DMA channel:
1. Disable the DMA channel in the DMA and reconfigure the channel for the new
source.
2. Clear the CHCFG[ENBL] and CHCFG[TRIG] bits of the DMA channel.
3. Select the source to be routed to the DMA channel. Write to the corresponding
CHCFG register, ensuring that the CHCFG[ENBL] and CHCFG[TRIG] fields are
set.
To switch DMA channel 8 from source #5 transmit to source #7 transmit:
1. In the DMA configuration registers, disable DMA channel 8 and reconfigure it to
handle the transfers to peripheral slot 7. This example assumes channel 8 doesn't
have triggering capability.
2. Write 0x00 to CHCFG8 (base address + 0x08).
3. Write 0x87 to CHCFG8 (base address + 0x08). (In this example, setting
CHCFG[TRIG] would have no effect due to the assumption that channel 8 does not
support the periodic triggering functionality.)

Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)
22.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The enhanced direct memory access (eDMA) controller is a second-generation module
capable of performing complex data transfers with minimal intervention from a host
processor. The hardware microarchitecture includes:
• A DMA engine that performs:
• Source- and destination-address calculations
• Data-movement operations
• Local memory containing transfer control descriptors for each of the 16 channels

The eDMA engine is further partitioned into four submodules:

Table 22-1. eDMA engine submodules
Submodule
Address path

Function
This block implements registered versions of two channel transfer control descriptors, channel x
and channel y, and manages all master bus-address calculations. All the channels provide the
same functionality. This structure allows data transfers associated with one channel to be
preempted after the completion of a read/write sequence if a higher priority channel activation is
asserted while the first channel is active. After a channel is activated, it runs until the minor loop is
completed, unless preempted by a higher priority channel. This provides a mechanism (enabled
by DCHPRIn[ECP]) where a large data move operation can be preempted to minimize the time
another channel is blocked from execution.
When any channel is selected to execute, the contents of its TCD are read from local memory and
loaded into the address path channel x registers for a normal start and into channel y registers for
a preemption start. After the minor loop completes execution, the address path hardware writes
the new values for the TCDn_{SADDR, DADDR, CITER} back to local memory. If the major
iteration count is exhausted, additional processing is performed, including the final address pointer
updates, reloading the TCDn_CITER field, and a possible fetch of the next TCDn from memory as
part of a scatter/gather operation.

Data path

This block implements the bus master read/write datapath. It includes 16 bytes of register storage
and the necessary multiplex logic to support any required data alignment. The internal read data
bus is the primary input, and the internal write data bus is the primary output.
The address and data path modules directly support the 2-stage pipelined internal bus. The
address path module represents the 1st stage of the bus pipeline (address phase), while the data
path module implements the 2nd stage of the pipeline (data phase).

Program model/channel
arbitration

This block implements the first section of the eDMA programming model as well as the channel
arbitration logic. The programming model registers are connected to the internal peripheral bus.
The eDMA peripheral request inputs and interrupt request outputs are also connected to this block
(via control logic).

Control

This block provides all the control functions for the eDMA engine. For data transfers where the
source and destination sizes are equal, the eDMA engine performs a series of source read/
destination write operations until the number of bytes specified in the minor loop byte count has
moved. For descriptors where the sizes are not equal, multiple accesses of the smaller size data
are required for each reference of the larger size. As an example, if the source size references 16bit data and the destination is 32-bit data, two reads are performed, then one 32-bit write.

The transfer-control descriptor local memory is further partitioned into:

This logic implements the required dual-ported controller, managing accesses from the eDMA
engine as well as references from the internal peripheral bus. As noted earlier, in the event of

Introduction

22.1.3 Features
The eDMA is a highly programmable data-transfer engine optimized to minimize the
required intervention from the host processor. It is intended for use in applications where
the data size to be transferred is statically known and not defined within the data packet
itself. The eDMA module features:
• All data movement via dual-address transfers: read from source, write to destination
• Programmable source and destination addresses and transfer size
• Support for enhanced addressing modes
• 16-channel implementation that performs complex data transfers with minimal
intervention from a host processor
• Internal data buffer, used as temporary storage to support 16- and 32-byte
transfers
• Connections to the crossbar switch for bus mastering the data movement
• Transfer control descriptor (TCD) organized to support two-deep, nested transfer
operations
• 32-byte TCD stored in local memory for each channel
• An inner data transfer loop defined by a minor byte transfer count
• An outer data transfer loop defined by a major iteration count
• Channel activation via one of three methods:
• Explicit software initiation
• Initiation via a channel-to-channel linking mechanism for continuous transfers
• Peripheral-paced hardware requests, one per channel
• Fixed-priority and round-robin channel arbitration
• Channel completion reported via optional interrupt requests
• One interrupt per channel, optionally asserted at completion of major iteration
count
• Optional error terminations per channel and logically summed together to form
one error interrupt to the interrupt controller
• Optional support for scatter/gather DMA processing

• Support for complex data structures
• Support to cancel transfers via software
In the discussion of this module, n is used to reference the channel number.

22.2 Modes of operation
The eDMA operates in the following modes:
Table 22-3. Modes of operation
Mode
Normal

Description
In Normal mode, the eDMA transfers data between a source and a destination. The source and
destination can be a memory block or an I/O block capable of operation with the eDMA.
A service request initiates a transfer of a specific number of bytes (NBYTES) as specified in the
transfer control descriptor (TCD). The minor loop is the sequence of read-write operations that
transfers these NBYTES per service request. Each service request executes one iteration of the
major loop, which transfers NBYTES of data.

Debug

DMA operation is configurable in Debug mode via the control register:
• If CR[EDBG] is cleared, the DMA continues to operate.
• If CR[EDBG] is set, the eDMA stops transferring data. If Debug mode is entered while a
channel is active, the eDMA continues operation until the channel retires.

Wait

Before entering Wait mode, the DMA attempts to complete its current transfer. After the transfer
completes, the device enters Wait mode.

22.3 Memory map/register definition
The eDMA's programming model is partitioned into two regions:
• The first region defines a number of registers providing control functions
• The second region corresponds to the local transfer control descriptor (TCD)
memory
Each channel requires a 32-byte transfer control descriptor for defining the desired
data movement operation. The channel descriptors are stored in the local memory in
sequential order: channel 0, channel 1,... channel 15 . Each TCDn definition is
presented as 11 registers of 16 or 32 bits.
TCD Initialization: Prior to activating a channel, you must initialize its TCD with the
appropriate transfer profile.

22.3.1 Control Register (DMA_CR)
The CR defines the basic operating configuration of the DMA.
Arbitration can be configured to use either a fixed-priority or a round-robin scheme. For
fixed-priority arbitration, the highest priority channel requesting service is selected to
execute. The channel priority registers assign the priorities; see the DCHPRIn registers.
For round-robin arbitration, the channel priorities are ignored and channels are cycled
through (from high to low channel number) without regard to priority.

Memory map/register definition

NOTE
For proper operation, writes to the CR register must be
performed only when the DMA channels are inactive; that is,
when TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] bits are cleared.
Minor loop offsets are address offset values added to the final source address
(TCDn_SADDR) or destination address (TCDn_DADDR) upon minor loop completion.
When minor loop offsets are enabled, the minor loop offset (MLOFF) is added to the
final source address (TCDn_SADDR), to the final destination address (TCDn_DADDR),
or to both prior to the addresses being written back into the TCD. If the major loop is
complete, the minor loop offset is ignored and the major loop address offsets
(TCDn_SLAST and TCDn_DLAST_SGA) are used to compute the next TCDn_SADDR
and TCDn_DADDR values.
When minor loop mapping is enabled (EMLM is 1), TCDn word2 is redefined. A portion
of TCDn word2 is used to specify multiple fields: a source enable bit (SMLOE) to
specify the minor loop offset should be applied to the source address (TCDn_SADDR)
upon minor loop completion, a destination enable bit (DMLOE) to specify the minor loop
offset should be applied to the destination address (TCDn_DADDR) upon minor loop
completion, and the sign extended minor loop offset value (MLOFF). The same offset
value (MLOFF) is used for both source and destination minor loop offsets. When either
minor loop offset is enabled (SMLOE set or DMLOE set), the NBYTES field is reduced
to 10 bits. When both minor loop offsets are disabled (SMLOE cleared and DMLOE
cleared), the NBYTES field is a 30-bit vector.
When minor loop mapping is disabled (EMLM is 0), all 32 bits of TCDn word2 are
assigned to the NBYTES field.

Normal operation
Cancel the remaining data transfer. Stop the executing channel and force the minor loop to finish. The

Normal operation
Cancel the remaining data transfer in the same fashion as the CX bit. Stop the executing channel and
force the minor loop to finish. The cancel takes effect after the last write of the current read/write
sequence. The ECX bit clears itself after the cancel is honored. In addition to cancelling the transfer,
ECX treats the cancel as an error condition, thus updating the Error Status register (DMAx_ES) and
generating an optional error interrupt.

A minor loop channel link made to itself goes through channel arbitration before being activated again.
A minor loop channel link made to itself does not go through channel arbitration before being activated
again. Upon minor loop completion, the channel activates again if that channel has a minor loop
channel link enabled and the link channel is itself. This effectively applies the minor loop offsets and
restarts the next minor loop.

Normal operation
Stall the start of any new channels. Executing channels are allowed to complete. Channel execution
resumes when this bit is cleared.

Any error causes the HALT bit to set. Subsequently, all service requests are ignored until the HALT bit

22.3.3 Enable Request Register (DMA_ERQ)
The ERQ register provides a bit map for the 16 implemented channels to enable the
request signal for each channel. The state of any given channel enable is directly affected
by writes to this register; it is also affected by writes to the SERQ and CERQ. The
{S,C}ERQ registers are provided so the request enable for a single channel can easily be
modified without needing to perform a read-modify-write sequence to the ERQ.
DMA request input signals and this enable request flag must be asserted before a
channel’s hardware service request is accepted. The state of the DMA enable request flag
does not affect a channel service request made explicitly through software or a linked
channel request.

22.3.5 Clear Enable Error Interrupt Register (DMA_CEEI)
The CEEI provides a simple memory-mapped mechanism to clear a given bit in the EEI
to disable the error interrupt for a given channel. The data value on a register write causes
the corresponding bit in the EEI to be cleared. Setting the CAEE bit provides a global
clear function, forcing the EEI contents to be cleared, disabling all DMA request inputs.
If the NOP bit is set, the command is ignored. This allows you to write multiple-byte
registers as a 32-bit word. Reads of this register return all zeroes.

22.3.13 Interrupt Request Register (DMA_INT)
The INT register provides a bit map for the 16 channels signaling the presence of an
interrupt request for each channel. Depending on the appropriate bit setting in the
transfer-control descriptors, the eDMA engine generates an interrupt on data transfer
completion. The outputs of this register are directly routed to the interrupt controller
(INTC). During the interrupt-service routine associated with any given channel, it is the
software’s responsibility to clear the appropriate bit, negating the interrupt request.
Typically, a write to the CINT register in the interrupt service routine is used for this
purpose.
The state of any given channel’s interrupt request is directly affected by writes to this
register; it is also affected by writes to the CINT register. On writes to INT, a 1 in any bit
position clears the corresponding channel’s interrupt request. A zero in any bit position
has no affect on the corresponding channel’s current interrupt status. The CINT register is
provided so the interrupt request for a single channel can easily be cleared without the
need to perform a read-modify-write sequence to the INT register.

22.3.14 Error Register (DMA_ERR)
The ERR provides a bit map for the 16 channels, signaling the presence of an error for
each channel. The eDMA engine signals the occurrence of an error condition by setting
the appropriate bit in this register. The outputs of this register are enabled by the contents
of the EEI, and then routed to the interrupt controller. During the execution of the
interrupt-service routine associated with any DMA errors, it is software’s responsibility
to clear the appropriate bit, negating the error-interrupt request. Typically, a write to the
CERR in the interrupt-service routine is used for this purpose. The normal DMA channel
completion indicators (setting the transfer control descriptor DONE flag and the possible
assertion of an interrupt request) are not affected when an error is detected.
The contents of this register can also be polled because a non-zero value indicates the
presence of a channel error regardless of the state of the EEI. The state of any given
channel’s error indicators is affected by writes to this register; it is also affected by writes
to the CERR. On writes to the ERR, a one in any bit position clears the corresponding
channel’s error status. A zero in any bit position has no affect on the corresponding
channel’s current error status. The CERR is provided so the error indicator for a single
channel can easily be cleared.

NOTE
These bits reflect the state of the request as seen by the
arbitration logic. Therefore, this status is affected by the ERQ

22.3.16 Channel n Priority Register (DMA_DCHPRIn)
When fixed-priority channel arbitration is enabled (CR[ERCA] = 0), the contents of these
registers define the unique priorities associated with each channel . The channel priorities
are evaluated by numeric value; for example, 0 is the lowest priority, 1 is the next
priority, then 2, 3, etc. Software must program the channel priorities with unique values;
otherwise, a configuration error is reported. The range of the priority value is limited to
the values of 0 through 15.

This value defines a specific address range specified to be the value after SADDR + SOFF
calculation is performed or the original register value. The setting of this field provides the ability to
implement a circular data queue easily. For data queues requiring power-of-2 size bytes, the queue
should start at a 0-modulo-size address and the SMOD field should be set to the appropriate value
for the queue, freezing the desired number of upper address bits. The value programmed into this
field specifies the number of lower address bits allowed to change. For a circular queue application,
the SOFF is typically set to the transfer size to implement post-increment addressing with the SMOD
function constraining the addresses to a 0-modulo-size range.

The attempted use of a Reserved encoding causes a configuration error.

Minor Byte Transfer Count
Number of bytes to be transferred in each service request of the channel. As a channel activates, the

the minor byte transfer count has transferred. This is an indivisible operation and cannot be halted.
(Although, it may be stalled by using the bandwidth control field, or via preemption.) After the minor count
is exhausted, the SADDR and DADDR values are written back into the TCD memory, the major iteration
count is decremented and restored to the TCD memory. If the major iteration count is completed,
additional processing is performed.
NOTE: An NBYTES value of 0x0000_0000 is interpreted as a 4 GB transfer.

If channel linking is disabled, the CITER value is extended to 15 bits in place of a link channel number. If
the major loop is exhausted, this link mechanism is suppressed in favor of the MAJORELINK channel
linking.
NOTE: This bit must be equal to the BITER[ELINK] bit; otherwise, a configuration error is reported.

If channel-to-channel linking is enabled (ELINK = 1), then after the minor loop is exhausted, the eDMA

channel’s TCDn_CSR[START] bit.
Current Major Iteration Count
This 9-bit (ELINK = 1) or 15-bit (ELINK = 0) count represents the current major loop count for the channel.
It is decremented each time the minor loop is completed and updated in the transfer control descriptor
memory. After the major iteration count is exhausted, the channel performs a number of operations (e.g.,
final source and destination address calculations), optionally generating an interrupt to signal channel
completion before reloading the CITER field from the beginning iteration count (BITER) field.
NOTE: When the CITER field is initially loaded by software, it must be set to the same value as that
contained in the BITER field.
NOTE: If the channel is configured to execute a single service request, the initial values of BITER and
CITER should be 0x0001.

Destination last address adjustment or the memory address for the next transfer control descriptor to be
loaded into this channel (scatter/gather).
If (TCDn_CSR[ESG] = 0), then:
• Adjustment value added to the destination address at the completion of the major iteration count.
This value can apply to restore the destination address to the initial value or adjust the address to
reference the next data structure.
• This field uses two's complement notation for the final destination address adjustment.
Otherwise:
• This address points to the beginning of a 0-modulo-32-byte region containing the next transfer
control descriptor to be loaded into this channel. This channel reload is performed as the major
iteration count completes. The scatter/gather address must be 0-modulo-32-byte, else a
configuration error is reported.

Bandwidth Control
Throttles the amount of bus bandwidth consumed by the eDMA. In general, as the eDMA processes the
minor loop, it continuously generates read/write sequences until the minor count is exhausted. This field
forces the eDMA to stall after the completion of each read/write access to control the bus request
bandwidth seen by the crossbar switch.
NOTE: If the source and destination sizes are equal, this field is ignored between the first and second
transfers and after the last write of each minor loop. This behavior is a side effect of reducing

Functional description

This example uses the assertion of the eDMA peripheral request signal to request service
for channel n. Channel activation via software and the TCDn_CSR[START] bit follows
the same basic flow as peripheral requests. The eDMA request input signal is registered
internally and then routed through the eDMA engine: first through the control module,
then into the program model and channel arbitration. In the next cycle, the channel
arbitration performs, using the fixed-priority or round-robin algorithm. After arbitration is
complete, the activated channel number is sent through the address path and converted
into the required address to access the local memory for TCDn. Next, the TCD memory
is accessed and the required descriptor read from the local memory and loaded into the
eDMA engine address path channel x or y registers. The TCD memory is 64 bits wide to
minimize the time needed to fetch the activated channel descriptor and load it into the
address path channel x or y registers.
The following diagram illustrates the second part of the basic data flow:

The modules associated with the data transfer (address path, data path, and control)
sequence through the required source reads and destination writes to perform the actual
data movement. The source reads are initiated and the fetched data is temporarily stored
in the data path block until it is gated onto the internal bus during the destination write.
This source read/destination write processing continues until the minor byte count has
transferred.
After the minor byte count has moved, the final phase of the basic data flow is performed.
In this segment, the address path logic performs the required updates to certain fields in
the appropriate TCD, e.g., SADDR, DADDR, CITER. If the major iteration count is
exhausted, additional operations are performed. These include the final address
adjustments and reloading of the BITER field into the CITER. Assertion of an optional
interrupt request also occurs at this time, as does a possible fetch of a new TCD from
memory using the scatter/gather address pointer included in the descriptor (if scatter/
gather is enabled). The updates to the TCD memory and the assertion of an interrupt
request are shown in the following diagram.

Functional description

22.4.2 Fault reporting and handling
Channel errors are reported in the Error Status register (DMAx_ES) and can be caused
by:
• A configuration error, which is an illegal setting in the transfer-control descriptor or
an illegal priority register setting in Fixed-Arbitration mode, or
• An error termination to a bus master read or write cycle
A configuration error is reported when the starting source or destination address, source
or destination offsets, minor loop byte count, or the transfer size represent an inconsistent
state. Each of these possible causes are detailed below:
• The addresses and offsets must be aligned on 0-modulo-transfer-size boundaries.
• The minor loop byte count must be a multiple of the source and destination transfer
sizes.
• All source reads and destination writes must be configured to the natural boundary of
the programmed transfer size respectively.
• In fixed arbitration mode, a configuration error is caused by any two channel
priorities being equal. All channel priority levels must be unique when fixed
arbitration mode is enabled.
• If a scatter/gather operation is enabled upon channel completion, a configuration
error is reported if the scatter/gather address (DLAST_SGA) is not aligned on a 32byte boundary.
• If minor loop channel linking is enabled upon channel completion, a configuration
error is reported when the link is attempted if the TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] bit does
not equal the TCDn_BITER[E_LINK] bit.
If enabled, all configuration error conditions, except the scatter/gather and minor-loop
link errors, report as the channel activates and asserts an error interrupt request. A scatter/
gather configuration error is reported when the scatter/gather operation begins at major
loop completion when properly enabled. A minor loop channel link configuration error is
reported when the link operation is serviced at minor loop completion.
If a system bus read or write is terminated with an error, the data transfer is stopped and
the appropriate bus error flag set. In this case, the state of the channel's transfer control
descriptor is updated by the eDMA engine with the current source address, destination
address, and current iteration count at the point of the fault. When a system bus error
occurs, the channel terminates after the next transfer. Due to pipeline effect, the next
transfer is already in progress when the bus error is received by the eDMA. If a bus error
occurs on the last read prior to beginning the write sequence, the write executes using the

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
526

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 22 Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)

data captured during the bus error. If a bus error occurs on the last write prior to
switching to the next read sequence, the read sequence executes before the channel
terminates due to the destination bus error.
A transfer may be cancelled by software with the CR[CX] bit. When a cancel transfer
request is recognized, the DMA engine stops processing the channel. The current readwrite sequence is allowed to finish. If the cancel occurs on the last read-write sequence of
a major or minor loop, the cancel request is discarded and the channel retires normally.
The error cancel transfer is the same as a cancel transfer except the Error Status register
(DMAx_ES) is updated with the cancelled channel number and ECX is set. The TCD of a
cancelled channel contains the source and destination addresses of the last transfer saved
in the TCD. If the channel needs to be restarted, you must re-initialize the TCD because
the aforementioned fields no longer represent the original parameters. When a transfer is
cancelled by the error cancel transfer mechanism, the channel number is loaded into
DMA_ES[ERRCHN] and ECX and VLD are set. In addition, an error interrupt may be
generated if enabled.
The occurrence of any error causes the eDMA engine to stop normal processing of the
active channel immediately (it goes to its error processing states and the transaction to the
system bus still has peipeline effect), and the appropriate channel bit in the eDMA error
register is asserted. At the same time, the details of the error condition are loaded into the
Error Status register (DMAx_ES). The major loop complete indicators, setting the
transfer control descriptor DONE flag and the possible assertion of an interrupt request,
are not affected when an error is detected. After the error status has been updated, the
eDMA engine continues operating by servicing the next appropriate channel. A channel
that experiences an error condition is not automatically disabled. If a channel is
terminated by an error and then issues another service request before the error is fixed,
that channel executes and terminates with the same error condition.

22.4.3 Channel preemption
Channel preemption is enabled on a per-channel basis by setting the DCHPRIn[ECP] bit.
Channel preemption allows the executing channel’s data transfers to temporarily suspend
in favor of starting a higher priority channel. After the preempting channel has completed
all its minor loop data transfers, the preempted channel is restored and resumes
execution. After the restored channel completes one read/write sequence, it is again
eligible for preemption. If any higher priority channel is requesting service, the restored
channel is suspended and the higher priority channel is serviced. Nested preemption, that
is, attempting to preempt a preempting channel, is not supported. After a preempting
channel begins execution, it cannot be preempted. Preemption is available only when
fixed arbitration is selected.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

527

Functional description

A channel’s ability to preempt another channel can be disabled by setting
DCHPRIn[DPA]. When a channel’s preempt ability is disabled, that channel cannot
suspend a lower priority channel’s data transfer, regardless of the lower priority channel’s
ECP setting. This allows for a pool of low priority, large data-moving channels to be
defined. These low priority channels can be configured to not preempt each other, thus
preventing a low priority channel from consuming the preempt slot normally available to
a true, high priority channel.

22.4.4 Performance
This section addresses the performance of the eDMA module, focusing on two separate
metrics:
• In the traditional data movement context, performance is best expressed as the peak
data transfer rates achieved using the eDMA. In most implementations, this transfer
rate is limited by the speed of the source and destination address spaces.
• In a second context where device-paced movement of single data values to/from
peripherals is dominant, a measure of the requests that can be serviced in a fixed time
is a more relevant metric. In this environment, the speed of the source and destination
address spaces remains important. However, the microarchitecture of the eDMA also
factors significantly into the resulting metric.

22.4.4.1 Peak transfer rates
The peak transfer rates for several different source and destination transfers are shown in
the following tables. These tables assume:
• Internal SRAM can be accessed with zero wait-states when viewed from the system
bus data phase
• All internal peripheral bus reads require two wait-states, and internal peripheral bus
writes three wait-states, when viewed from the system bus data phase
• All internal peripheral bus accesses are 32-bits in size
This table compares peak transfer rates based n different possible system speeds. Specific
chips/devices may not support all system speeds listed.

System Speed, Width

Internal-SRAM-to-internal-SRAM transfers occur at the core's datapath width. For all
transfers involving the internal peripheral bus, 32-bit transfer sizes are used. In all cases,
the transfer rate includes the time to read the source plus the time to write the destination.

22.4.4.2 Peak request rates
The second performance metric is a measure of the number of DMA requests that can be
serviced in a given amount of time. For this metric, assume that the peripheral request
causes the channel to move a single internal peripheral bus-mapped operand to/from
internal SRAM. The same timing assumptions used in the previous example apply to this
calculation. In particular, this metric also reflects the time required to activate the
channel.
The eDMA design supports the following hardware service request sequence. Note that
the exact timing from Cycle 7 is a function of the response times for the channel's read
and write accesses. In the case of an internal peripheral bus read and internal SRAM
write, the combined data phase time is 4 cycles. For an SRAM read and internal
peripheral bus write, it is 5 cycles.

Cycle 4 for the first channel's service request.

Assuming zero wait states on the system bus, DMA requests can be processed every 9
cycles. Assuming an average of the access times associated with internal peripheral busto-SRAM (4 cycles) and SRAM-to-internal peripheral bus (5 cycles), DMA requests can
be processed every 11.5 cycles (4 + (4+5)/2 + 3). This is the time from Cycle 4 to Cycle x
+5. The resulting peak request rate, as a function of the system frequency, is shown in the
following table.

A general formula to compute the peak request rate with overlapping requests is:
PEAKreq = freq / [ entry + (1 + read_ws) + (1 + write_ws) + exit ]

22.4.4.3 eDMA performance example
Consider a system with the following characteristics:
• Internal SRAM can be accessed with one wait-state when viewed from the system
bus data phase
• All internal peripheral bus reads require two wait-states, and internal peripheral bus
writes three wait-states viewed from the system bus data phase
• System operates at 150 MHz
For an SRAM to internal peripheral bus transfer,
PEAKreq = 150 MHz / [ 4 + (1 + 1) + (1 + 3) + 3 ] cycles = 11.5 Mreq/sec
For an internal peripheral bus to SRAM transfer,
PEAKreq = 150 MHz / [ 4 + (1 + 2) + (1 + 1) + 3 ] cycles = 12.5 Mreq/sec
Assuming an even distribution of the two transfer types, the average peak request rate
would be:
PEAKreq = (11.5 Mreq/sec + 12.5 Mreq/sec) / 2 = 12.0 Mreq/sec
The minimum number of cycles to perform a single read/write, zero wait states on the
system bus, from a cold start where no channel is executing and eDMA is idle are:

Initialization/application information

• 11 cycles for a software, that is, a TCDn_CSR[START] bit, request
• 12 cycles for a hardware, that is, an eDMA peripheral request signal, request
Two cycles account for the arbitration pipeline and one extra cycle on the hardware
request resulting from the internal registering of the eDMA peripheral request signals.
For the peak request rate calculations above, the arbitration and request registering is
absorbed in or overlaps the previous executing channel.
Note
When channel linking or scatter/gather is enabled, a two cycle
delay is imposed on the next channel selection and startup. This
allows the link channel or the scatter/gather channel to be
eligible and considered in the arbitration pool for next channel
selection.

22.5 Initialization/application information
The following sections discuss initialization of the eDMA and programming
considerations.

22.5.1 eDMA initialization
To initialize the eDMA:
1. Write to the CR if a configuration other than the default is desired.
2. Write the channel priority levels to the DCHPRIn registers if a configuration other
than the default is desired.
3. Enable error interrupts in the EEI register if so desired.
4. Write the 32-byte TCD for each channel that may request service.
5. Enable any hardware service requests via the ERQ register.
6. Request channel service via either:
• Software: setting the TCDn_CSR[START]
• Hardware: slave device asserting its eDMA peripheral request signal

Chapter 22 Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)

After any channel requests service, a channel is selected for execution based on the
arbitration and priority levels written into the programmer's model. The eDMA engine
reads the entire TCD, including the TCD control and status fields, as shown in the
following table, for the selected channel into its internal address path module.
As the TCD is read, the first transfer is initiated on the internal bus, unless a
configuration error is detected. Transfers from the source, as defined by TCDn_SADDR,
to the destination, as defined by TCDn_DADDR, continue until the number of bytes
specified by TCDn_NBYTES are transferred.
When the transfer is complete, the eDMA engine's local TCDn_SADDR,
TCDn_DADDR, and TCDn_CITER are written back to the main TCD memory and any
minor loop channel linking is performed, if enabled. If the major loop is exhausted,
further post processing executes, such as interrupts, major loop channel linking, and
scatter/gather operations, if enabled.

The following figure shows how each DMA request initiates one minor-loop transfer, or

and one level of minor loop DMA preemption is allowed. The number of minor loops in
a major loop is specified by the beginning iteration count (BITER).

22.5.2 Programming errors
The eDMA performs various tests on the transfer control descriptor to verify consistency
in the descriptor data. Most programming errors are reported on a per channel basis with
the exception of channel priority error (ES[CPE]).

Chapter 22 Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)

For all error types other than channel priority error, the channel number causing the error
is recorded in the Error Status register (DMAx_ES). If the error source is not removed
before the next activation of the problem channel, the error is detected and recorded
again.
If priority levels are not unique, when any channel requests service, a channel priority
error is reported. The highest channel priority with an active request is selected, but the
lowest numbered channel with that priority is selected by arbitration and executed by the
eDMA engine. The hardware service request handshake signals, error interrupts, and
error reporting is associated with the selected channel.

22.5.3 Arbitration mode considerations
22.5.3.1 Fixed channel arbitration
In this mode, the channel service request from the highest priority channel is selected to
execute.

22.5.3.2 Round-robin channel arbitration
Channels are serviced starting with the highest channel number and rotating through to
the lowest channel number without regard to the channel priority levels.

22.5.4 Performing DMA transfers (examples)
22.5.4.1 Single request
To perform a simple transfer of n bytes of data with one activation, set the major loop to
one (TCDn_CITER = TCDn_BITER = 1). The data transfer begins after the channel
service request is acknowledged and the channel is selected to execute. After the transfer
is complete, the TCDn_CSR[DONE] bit is set and an interrupt generates if properly
enabled.
For example, the following TCD entry is configured to transfer 16 bytes of data. The
eDMA is programmed for one iteration of the major loop transferring 16 bytes per
iteration. The source memory has a byte wide memory port located at 0x1000. The
destination memory has a 32-bit port located at 0x2000. The address offsets are

programmed in increments to match the transfer size: one byte for the source and four
bytes for the destination. The final source and destination addresses are adjusted to return
to their beginning values.
TCDn_CITER = TCDn_BITER = 1
TCDn_NBYTES = 16
TCDn_SADDR = 0x1000
TCDn_SOFF = 1
TCDn_ATTR[SSIZE] = 0
TCDn_SLAST = -16
TCDn_DADDR = 0x2000
TCDn_DOFF = 4
TCDn_ATTR[DSIZE] = 2
TCDn_DLAST_SGA= –16
TCDn_CSR[INT_MAJ] = 1
TCDn_CSR[START] = 1 (Should be written last after all other fields have been initialized)
All other TCDn fields = 0

This generates the following event sequence:
1. User write to the TCDn_CSR[START] bit requests channel service.
2. The channel is selected by arbitration for servicing.
3. eDMA engine writes: TCDn_CSR[DONE] = 0, TCDn_CSR[START] = 0,
TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] = 1.
4. eDMA engine reads: channel TCD data from local memory to internal register file.
5. The source-to-destination transfers are executed as follows:
a. Read byte from location 0x1000, read byte from location 0x1001, read byte from
0x1002, read byte from 0x1003.
b. Write 32-bits to location 0x2000 → first iteration of the minor loop.
c. Read byte from location 0x1004, read byte from location 0x1005, read byte from
0x1006, read byte from 0x1007.

h. Write 32-bits to location 0x200C → last iteration of the minor loop → major loop
complete.

6. The eDMA engine writes: TCDn_SADDR = 0x1000, TCDn_DADDR = 0x2000,
TCDn_CITER = 1 (TCDn_BITER).
7. The eDMA engine writes: TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] = 0, TCDn_CSR[DONE] = 1,
INT[n] = 1.
8. The channel retires and the eDMA goes idle or services the next channel.

22.5.4.2 Multiple requests
The following example transfers 32 bytes via two hardware requests, but is otherwise the
same as the previous example. The only fields that change are the major loop iteration
count and the final address offsets. The eDMA is programmed for two iterations of the
major loop transferring 16 bytes per iteration. After the channel's hardware requests are
enabled in the ERQ register, the slave device initiates channel service requests.
TCDn_CITER = TCDn_BITER = 2
TCDn_SLAST = –32
TCDn_DLAST_SGA = –32

This would generate the following sequence of events:
1. First hardware, that is, eDMA peripheral, request for channel service.
2. The channel is selected by arbitration for servicing.
3. eDMA engine writes: TCDn_CSR[DONE] = 0, TCDn_CSR[START] = 0,
TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] = 1.
4. eDMA engine reads: channel TCDn data from local memory to internal register file.
5. The source to destination transfers are executed as follows:
a. Read byte from location 0x1000, read byte from location 0x1001, read byte from
0x1002, read byte from 0x1003.
b. Write 32-bits to location 0x2000 → first iteration of the minor loop.

22.5.4.3 Using the modulo feature
The modulo feature of the eDMA provides the ability to implement a circular data queue
in which the size of the queue is a power of 2. MOD is a 5-bit field for the source and
destination in the TCD, and it specifies which lower address bits increment from their
original value after the address+offset calculation. All upper address bits remain the same
as in the original value. A setting of 0 for this field disables the modulo feature.
The following table shows how the transfer addresses are specified based on the setting
of the MOD field. Here a circular buffer is created where the address wraps to the
original value while the 28 upper address bits (0x1234567x) retain their original value. In
this example the source address is set to 0x12345670, the offset is set to 4 bytes and the
MOD field is set to 4, allowing for a 24 byte (16-byte) size queue.

22.5.5.1 Testing for minor loop completion
There are two methods to test for minor loop completion when using software initiated
service requests. The first is to read the TCDn_CITER field and test for a change.
Another method may be extracted from the sequence shown below. The second method is
to test the TCDn_CSR[START] bit and the TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] bit. The minor-loopcomplete condition is indicated by both bits reading zero after the TCDn_CSR[START]
was set. Polling the TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] bit may be inconclusive, because the active
status may be missed if the channel execution is short in duration.

regardless of how the channel activates.

22.5.5.2 Reading the transfer descriptors of active channels
The eDMA reads back the true TCDn_SADDR, TCDn_DADDR, and TCDn_NBYTES
values if read while a channel executes. The true values of the SADDR, DADDR, and
NBYTES are the values the eDMA engine currently uses in its internal register file and
not the values in the TCD local memory for that channel. The addresses, SADDR and
DADDR, and NBYTES, which decrement to zero as the transfer progresses, can give an
indication of the progress of the transfer. All other values are read back from the TCD
local memory.

Chapter 22 Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)

22.5.5.3 Checking channel preemption status
Preemption is available only when fixed arbitration is selected as the channel arbitration
mode. A preemptive situation is one in which a preempt-enabled channel runs and a
higher priority request becomes active. When the eDMA engine is not operating in fixed
channel arbitration mode, the determination of the actively running relative priority
outstanding requests become undefined. Channel priorities are treated as equal, that is,
constantly rotating, when Round-Robin Arbitration mode is selected.
The TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] bit for the preempted channel remains asserted throughout
the preemption. The preempted channel is temporarily suspended while the preempting
channel executes one major loop iteration. If two TCDn_CSR[ACTIVE] bits are set
simultaneously in the global TCD map, a higher priority channel is actively preempting a
lower priority channel.

22.5.6 Channel Linking
Channel linking (or chaining) is a mechanism where one channel sets the
TCDn_CSR[START] bit of another channel (or itself), therefore initiating a service
request for that channel. When properly enabled, the EDMA engine automatically
performs this operation at the major or minor loop completion.
The minor loop channel linking occurs at the completion of the minor loop (or one
iteration of the major loop). The TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] field determines whether a
minor loop link is requested. When enabled, the channel link is made after each iteration
of the major loop except for the last. When the major loop is exhausted, only the major
loop channel link fields are used to determine if a channel link should be made. For
example, the initial fields of:
TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] = 1
TCDn_CITER[LINKCH] = 0xC
TCDn_CITER[CITER] value = 0x4
TCDn_CSR[MAJOR_E_LINK] = 1
TCDn_CSR[MAJOR_LINKCH] = 0x7

executes as:
1. Minor loop done → set TCD12_CSR[START] bit
2. Minor loop done → set TCD12_CSR[START] bit
3. Minor loop done → set TCD12_CSR[START] bit
4. Minor loop done, major loop done→ set TCD7_CSR[START] bit

Initialization/application information

When minor loop linking is enabled (TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] = 1), the
TCDn_CITER[CITER] field uses a nine bit vector to form the current iteration count.
When minor loop linking is disabled (TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] = 0), the
TCDn_CITER[CITER] field uses a 15-bit vector to form the current iteration count. The
bits associated with the TCDn_CITER[LINKCH] field are concatenated onto the CITER
value to increase the range of the CITER.
Note
The TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] bit and the
TCDn_BITER[E_LINK] bit must equal or a configuration error
is reported. The CITER and BITER vector widths must be
equal to calculate the major loop, half-way done interrupt point.

22.5.7.1 Dynamically changing the channel priority
The following two options are recommended for dynamically changing channel priority
levels:
1. Switch to Round-Robin Channel Arbitration mode, change the channel priorities,
then switch back to Fixed Arbitration mode,
2. Disable all the channels, change the channel priorities, then enable the appropriate
channels.

Chapter 22 Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)

22.5.7.2 Dynamic channel linking
Dynamic channel linking is the process of setting the TCD.major.e_link bit during
channel execution. This bit is read from the TCD local memory at the end of channel
execution, thus allowing the user to enable the feature during channel execution.
Because the user is allowed to change the configuration during execution, a coherency
model is needed. Consider the scenario where the user attempts to execute a dynamic
channel link by enabling the TCD.major.e_link bit at the same time the eDMA engine is
retiring the channel. The TCD.major.e_link would be set in the programmer’s model, but
it would be unclear whether the actual link was made before the channel retired.
The following coherency model is recommended when executing a dynamic channel link
request.
1. Write 1 to the TCD.major.e_link bit.
2. Read back the TCD.major.e_link bit.
3. Test the TCD.major.e_link request status:
• If TCD.major.e_link = 1, the dynamic link attempt was successful.
• If TCD.major.e_link = 0, the attempted dynamic link did not succeed (the
channel was already retiring).
For this request, the TCD local memory controller forces the TCD.major.e_link bit to
zero on any writes to a channel’s TCD.word7 after that channel’s TCD.done bit is set,
indicating the major loop is complete.
NOTE
The user must clear the TCD.done bit before writing the
TCD.major.e_link bit. The TCD.done bit is cleared
automatically by the eDMA engine after a channel begins
execution.

22.5.7.3 Dynamic scatter/gather
Scatter/gather is the process of automatically loading a new TCD into a channel. It allows
a DMA channel to use multiple TCDs; this enables a DMA channel to scatter the DMA
data to multiple destinations or gather it from multiple sources.When scatter/gather is
enabled and the channel has finished its major loop, a new TCD is fetched from system
memory and loaded into that channel’s descriptor location in eDMA programmer’s
model, thus replacing the current descriptor.
Because the user is allowed to change the configuration during execution, a coherency
model is needed. Consider the scenario where the user attempts to execute a dynamic
scatter/gather operation by enabling the TCD.e_sg bit at the same time the eDMA engine

543

Initialization/application information

is retiring the channel. The TCD.e_sg would be set in the programmer’s model, but it
would be unclear whether the actual scatter/gather request was honored before the
channel retired.
Two methods for this coherency model are shown in the following subsections. Method 1
has the advantage of reading the major.linkch field and the e_sg bit with a single read.
For both dynamic channel linking and scatter/gather requests, the TCD local memory
controller forces the TCD.major.e_link and TCD.e_sg bits to zero on any writes to a
channel’s TCD.word7 if that channel’s TCD.done bit is set indicating the major loop is
complete.
NOTE
The user must clear the TCD.done bit before writing the
TCD.major.e_link or TCD.e_sg bits. The TCD.done bit is
cleared automatically by the eDMA engine after a channel
begins execution.

Method 1 (channel not using major loop channel linking)

For a channel not using major loop channel linking, the coherency model described here
may be used for a dynamic scatter/gather request.
When the TCD.major.e_link bit is zero, the TCD.major.linkch field is not used by the
eDMA. In this case, the TCD.major.linkch bits may be used for other purposes. This
method uses the TCD.major.linkch field as a TCD indentification (ID).
1. When the descriptors are built, write a unique TCD ID in the TCD.major.linkch field
for each TCD associated with a channel using dynamic scatter/gather.
2. Write 1b to the TCD.d_req bit.
Should a dynamic scatter/gather attempt fail, setting the TCD.d_req bit will prevent a
future hardware activation of this channel. This stops the channel from executing
with a destination address (daddr) that was calculated using a scatter/gather address
(written in the next step) instead of a dlast final offest value.

Write the TCD.dlast_sga field with the scatter/gather address.
Write 1b to the TCD.e_sg bit.

Test the TCD.e_sg request status and TCD.major.linkch value:
If e_sg = 1b, the dynamic link attempt was successful.

If e_sg = 0b and the major.linkch (ID) did not change, the attempted dynamic link
did not succeed (the channel was already retiring).
If e_sg = 0b and the major.linkch (ID) changed, the dynamic link attempt was
successful (the new TCD’s e_sg value cleared the e_sg bit).

For a channel using major loop channel linking, the coherency model described here may
be used for a dynamic scatter/gather request. This method uses the TCD.dlast_sga field as

1. Write 1b to the TCD.d_req bit.
Should a dynamic scatter/gather attempt fail, setting the d_req bit will prevent a

succeed (the channel was already retiring).

External Watchdog Monitor (EWM)
23.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The watchdog is generally used to monitor the flow and execution of embedded software
within an MCU. The watchdog consists of a counter that if allowed to overflow, forces an
internal reset (asynchronous) to all on-chip peripherals and optionally assert the RESET
pin to reset external devices/circuits. The overflow of the watchdog counter must not
occur if the software code works well and services the watchdog to re-start the actual
counter.
For safety, a redundant watchdog system, External Watchdog Monitor (EWM), is
designed to monitor external circuits, as well as the MCU software flow. This provides a
back-up mechanism to the internal watchdog that resets the MCU's CPU and peripherals.
The EWM differs from the internal watchdog in that it does not reset the MCU's CPU
and peripherals. The EWM if allowed to time-out, provides an independent EWM_out
pin that when asserted resets or places an external circuit into a safe mode. The CPU
resets the EWM counter that is logically ANDed with an external digital input pin. This
pin allows an external circuit to influence the reset_out signal.

23.1.1 Features
Features of EWM module include:
• Independent LPO clock source
• Programmable time-out period specified in terms of number of EWM LPO clock
cycles.

Introduction

• Windowed refresh option
• Provides robust check that program flow is faster than expected.
• Programmable window.
• Refresh outside window leads to assertion of EWM_out.
• Robust refresh mechanism
• Write values of 0xB4 and 0x2C to EWM Refresh Register within 15
(EWM_service_time) peripheral bus clock cycles.
• One output port, EWM_out, when asserted is used to reset or place the external
circuit into safe mode.
• One Input port, EWM_in, allows an external circuit to control the EWM_out signal.

23.1.2 Modes of Operation
This section describes the module's operating modes.

23.1.2.1 Stop Mode
When the EWM is in stop mode, the CPU services to the EWM cannot occur. On entry to
stop mode, the EWM’s counter freezes.
There are two possible ways to exit from Stop mode:
• On exit from stop mode through a reset, the EWM remains disabled.
• On exit from stop mode by an interrupt, the EWM is re-enabled, and the counter
continues to be clocked from the same value prior to entry to stop mode.
Note the following if the EWM enters the stop mode during CPU service mechanism: At
the exit from stop mode by an interrupt, refresh mechanism state machine starts from the
previous state which means, if first service command is written correctly and EWM
enters the stop mode immediately, the next command has to be written within the next 15
(EWM_service_time) peripheral bus clocks after exiting from stop mode. User must mask
all interrupts prior to executing EWM service instructions.

23.1.2.2 Wait Mode
The EWM module treats the stop and wait modes as the same. EWM functionality
remains the same in both of these modes.

23.1.2.3 Debug Mode
Entry to debug mode has no effect on the EWM.
• If the EWM is enabled prior to entry of debug mode, it remains enabled.
• If the EWM is disabled prior to entry of debug mode, it remains disabled.

23.4 Functional Description
The following sections describe functional details of the EWM module.

23.4.1 The EWM_out Signal
The EWM_out is a digital output signal used to gate an external circuit (application
specific) that controls critical safety functions. For example, the EWM_out could be
connected to the high voltage transistors circuits that control an AC motor in a large
appliance.
The EWM_out signal remains deasserted when the EWM is being regularly serviced by
the CPU within the programmable service window, indicating that the application code is
executed as expected.
The EWM_out signal is asserted in any of the following conditions:
• Servicing the EWM when the counter value is less than CMPL value.
• If the EWM counter value reaches the CMPH value, and no EWM service has
occurred.
• Servicing the EWM when the counter value is more than CMPL and less than CMPH
values and EWM_in signal is asserted.
• If functionality of EWM_in pin is enabled and EWM_in pin is asserted while
servicing the EWM.
• After any reset (by the virtue of the external pull-down mechanism on the EWM_out
pin)
On a normal reset, the EWM_out is asserted. To deassert the EWM_out, set EWMEN bit
in the CTRL register to enable the EWM.
If the EWM_out signal shares its pad with a digital I/O pin, on reset this actual pad defers
to being an input signal. It takes the EWM_out output condition only after you enable the
EWM by the EWMEN bit in the CTRL register.
When the EWM_out pin is asserted, it can only be deasserted by forcing a MCU reset.
Note
EWM_out pad must be in pull down state when EWM
functionality is used and when EWM is under Reset.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

553

Functional Description

23.4.2 The EWM_in Signal
The EWM_in is a digital input signal that allows an external circuit to control the
EWM_out signal. For example, in the application, an external circuit monitors a critical
safety function, and if there is fault with this circuit's behavior, it can then actively initiate
the EWM_out signal that controls the gating circuit.
The EWM_in signal is ignored if the EWM is disabled, or if INEN bit of CTRL register
is cleared, as after any reset.
On enabling the EWM (setting the CTRL[EWMEN] bit) and enabling EWM_in
functionality (setting the CTRL[INEN] bit), the EWM_in signal must be in the deasserted
state prior to the CPU servicing the EWM. This ensures that the EWM_out stays in the
deasserted state; otherwise, the EWM_out pin is asserted.
Note
You must update the CMPH and CMPL registers prior to
enabling the EWM. After enabling the EWM, the counter resets
to zero, therefore providing a reasonable time after a power-on
reset for the external monitoring circuit to stabilize and ensure
that the EWM_in pin is deasserted.

23.4.3 EWM Counter
It is an 8-bit ripple counter fed from a clock source that is independent of the peripheral
bus clock source. As the preferred time-out is between 1 ms and 100 ms the actual clock
source should be in the kHz range.
The counter is reset to zero, after a CPU reset, or a EWM refresh cycle. The counter
value is not accessible to the CPU.

23.4.4 EWM Compare Registers
The compare registers CMPL and CMPH are write-once after a CPU reset and cannot be
modified until another CPU reset occurs.
The EWM compare registers are used to create a service window, which is used by the
CPU to service/refresh the EWM module.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
554

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 23 External Watchdog Monitor (EWM)

• If the CPU services the EWM when the counter value lies between CMPL value and
CMPH value, the counter is reset to zero. This is a legal service operation.
• If the CPU executes a EWM service/refresh action outside the legal service window,
EWM_out is asserted.
It is illegal to program CMPL and CMPH with same value. In this case, as soon as
counter reaches (CMPL + 1), EWM_out is asserted.

23.4.5 EWM Refresh Mechanism
Other than the initial configuration of the EWM, the CPU can only access the EWM by
the EWM Service Register. The CPU must access the EWM service register with correct
write of unique data within the windowed time frame as determined by the CMPL and
CMPH registers. Therefore, three possible conditions can occur:
Table 23-7. EWM Refresh Mechanisms
Condition

Mechanism

A unique EWM service occurs when CMPL The software behaves as expected and the counter of the EWM is reset to zero,
< Counter < CMPH.
and EWM_out pin remains in the deasserted state.
Note: EWM_in pin is also assumed to be in the deasserted state.
A unique EWM service occurs when
Counter < CMPL

The software services the EWM and therefore resets the counter to zero and
asserts the EWM_out pin (irrespective of the EWM_in pin). The EWM_out pin is
expected to gate critical safety circuits.

Counter value reaches CMPH prior to a
unique EWM service

The counter value reaches the CMPH value and no service of the EWM resets
the counter to zero and assert the EWM_out pin (irrespective of the EWM_in
pin). The EWM_out pin is expected to gate critical safety circuits.

Any illegal service on EWM has no effect on EWM_out.

23.4.6 EWM Interrupt
When EWM_out is asserted, an interrupt request is generated to indicate the assertion of
the EWM reset out signal. This interrupt is enabled when CTRL[INTEN] is set. Clearing
this bit clears the interrupt request but does not affect EWM_out. The EWM_out signal
can be deasserted only by forcing a system reset.

Watchdog Timer (WDOG)
24.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The Watchdog Timer (WDOG) keeps a watch on the system functioning and resets it in
case of its failure. Reasons for failure include run-away software code and the stoppage
of the system clock that in a safety critical system can lead to serious consequences. In
such cases, the watchdog brings the system into a safe state of operation. The watchdog
monitors the operation of the system by expecting periodic communication from the
software, generally known as servicing or refreshing the watchdog. If this periodic
refreshing does not occur, the watchdog resets the system.

24.2 Features
The features of the Watchdog Timer (WDOG) include:
• Clock source input independent from CPU/bus clock. Choice between two clock
sources:
• Low-power oscillator (LPO)
• External system clock
• Unlock sequence for allowing updates to write-once WDOG control/configuration
bits.
• All WDOG control/configuration bits are writable once only within 256 bus clock
cycles of being unlocked.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

557

Features

• You need to always update these bits after unlocking within 256 bus clock
cycles. Failure to update these bits resets the system.
• Programmable time-out period specified in terms of number of WDOG clock cycles.
• Ability to test WDOG timer and reset with a flag indicating watchdog test.
• Quick test—Small time-out value programmed for quick test.
• Byte test—Individual bytes of timer tested one at a time.
• Read-only access to the WDOG timer—Allows dynamic check that WDOG
timer is operational.
NOTE
Reading the watchdog timer counter while running the
watchdog on the bus clock might not give the accurate
counter value.
• Windowed refresh option
• Provides robust check that program flow is faster than expected.
• Programmable window.
• Refresh outside window leads to reset.
• Robust refresh mechanism
• Write values of 0xA602 and 0xB480 to WDOG Refresh Register within 20 bus
clock cycles.
• Count of WDOG resets as they occur.
• Configurable interrupt on time-out to provide debug breadcrumbs. This is followed
by a reset after 256 bus clock cycles.

The preceding figure shows the operation of the watchdog. The values for N and K are:
• N = 256
• K = 20
The watchdog is a fail safe mechanism that brings the system into a known initial state in
case of its failure due to CPU clock stopping or a run-away condition in code execution.
In its simplest form, the watchdog timer runs continuously off a clock source and expects
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

559

Functional overview

to be serviced periodically, failing which it resets the system. This ensures that the
software is executing correctly and has not run away in an unintended direction. Software
can adjust the period of servicing or the time-out value for the watchdog timer to meet the
needs of the application.
You can select a windowed mode of operation that expects the servicing to be done only
in a particular window of the time-out period. An attempted servicing of the watchdog
outside this window results in a reset. By operating in this mode, you can get an
indication of whether the code is running faster than expected. The window length is also
user programmable.
If a system fails to update/refresh the watchdog due to an unknown and persistent cause,
it will be caught in an endless cycle of resets from the watchdog. To analyze the cause of
such conditions, you can program the watchdog to first issue an interrupt, followed by a
reset. In the interrupt service routine, the software can analyze the system stack to aid
debugging.
To enhance the independence of watchdog from the system, it runs off an independent
LPO oscillator clock. You can also switch over to an alternate clock source if required,
through a control register bit.

24.3.1 Unlocking and updating the watchdog
As long as ALLOW_UPDATE in the watchdog control register is set, you can unlock
and modify the write-once-only control and configuration registers:
1. Write 0xC520 followed by 0xD928 within 20 bus clock cycles to a specific unlock
register (WDOG_UNLOCK).
2. Wait one bus clock cycle. You cannot update registers on the bus clock cycle
immediately following the write of the unlock sequence.
3. An update window equal in length to the watchdog configuration time (WCT) opens.
Within this window, you can update the configuration and control register bits.
These register bits can be modified only once after unlocking.
If none of the configuration and control registers is updated within the update window,
the watchdog issues a reset, that is, interrupt-then-reset, to the system. Trying to unlock
the watchdog within the WCT after an initial unlock has no effect. During the update
operation, the watchdog timer is not paused and continues running in the background.
After the update window closes, the watchdog timer restarts and the watchdog functions
according to the new configuration.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
560

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 24 Watchdog Timer (WDOG)

The update feature is useful for applications that have an initial, non-safety critical part,
where the watchdog is kept disabled or with a conveniently long time-out period. This
means the application coder does not have to frequently service the watchdog. After the
critical part of the application begins, the watchdog can be reconfigured as needed.
The watchdog issues a reset, that is, interrupt-then-reset if enabled, to the system for any
of these invalid unlock sequences:
• Write any value other than 0xC520 or 0xD928 to the unlock register.
• ALLOW_UPDATE is set and a gap of more than 20 bus clock cycles is inserted
between the writing of the unlock sequence values.
An attempted refresh operation between the two writes of the unlock sequence and in the
WCT time following a successful unlock, goes undetected. Also, see Watchdog
Operation with 8-bit access for guidelines related to 8-bit accesses to the unlock register.
Note
A context switch during unlocking and refreshing may lead to a
watchdog reset.

24.3.2 Watchdog configuration time (WCT)
To prevent unintended modification of the watchdog's control and configuration register
bits, you are allowed to update them only within a period of 256 bus clock cycles after
unlocking. This period is known as the watchdog configuration time (WCT). In addition,
these register bits can be modified only once after unlocking them for editing, even after
reset.
You must unlock the registers within WCT after system reset, failing which the WDOG
issues a reset to the system. In other words, you must write at least the first word of the
unlocking sequence within the WCT after reset. After this is done, you have a further 20
bus clock cycles, the maximum allowed gap between the words of the unlock sequence,
to complete the unlocking operation. Thereafter, to make sure that you do not forget to
configure the watchdog, the watchdog issues a reset if none of the WDOG control and
configuration registers is updated in the WCT after unlock. After the close of this
window or after the first write, these register bits are locked out from any further
changes.
The watchdog timer keeps running according to its default configuration through
unlocking and update operations that can extend up to a maximum total of 2xWCT + 20
bus clock cycles. Therefore, it must be ensured that the time-out value for the watchdog
is always greater than 2xWCT time + 20 bus clock cycles.

Updates in the write-once registers take effect only after the WCT window closes with
the following exceptions for which changes take effect immediately:
• Stop, Wait, and Debug mode enable
• IRQ_RST_EN
The operations of refreshing the watchdog goes undetected during the WCT.

24.3.3 Refreshing the watchdog
A robust refreshing mechanism has been chosen for the watchdog. A valid refresh is a
write of 0xA602 followed by 0xB480 within 20 bus clock cycles to watchdog refresh
register. If these two values are written more than 20 bus cycles apart or if something
other than these two values is written to the register, a watchdog reset, or interrupt-thenreset if enabled, is issued to the system. A valid refresh makes the watchdog timer restart
on the next bus clock. Also, an attempted unlock operation in between the two writes of
the refresh sequence goes undetected. See Watchdog Operation with 8-bit access for
guidelines related to 8-bit accesses to the refresh register.

24.3.4 Windowed mode of operation
In this mode of operation, a restriction is placed on the point in time within the time-out
period at which the watchdog can be refreshed. The refresh is considered valid only when
the watchdog timer increments beyond a certain count as specified by the watchdog
window register. This is known as refreshing the watchdog within a window of the total
time-out period. If a refresh is attempted before the timer reaches the window value, the
watchdog generates a reset, or interrupt-then-reset if enabled. If there is no refresh at all,
the watchdog times out and generates a reset or interrupt-then-reset if enabled.

24.3.5 Watchdog disabled mode of operation
When the watchdog is disabled through the WDOG_EN bit in the watchdog status and
control register, the watchdog timer is reset to zero and is disabled from counting until
you enable it or it is enabled again by the system reset. In this mode, the watchdog timer
cannot be refreshed–there is no requirement to do so while the timer is disabled.
However, the watchdog still generates a reset, or interrupt-then-reset if enabled, on a non-

time-out exception. See Generated Resets and Interrupts. You need to unlock the
watchdog before enabling it. A system reset brings the watchdog out of the disabled
mode.

24.3.6 Low-power modes of operation
The low-power modes of operation of the watchdog are described in the following table:
Table 24-1. Low-power modes of operation
Mode

Behavior

Wait

If the WDOG is enabled (WAIT_EN = 1), it can run on bus clock or low-power oscillator clock
(CLK_SRC = x) to generate interrupt (IRQ_RST_EN=1) followed by a reset on time-out. After
reset the WDOG reset counter increments by one.

Stop

Where the bus clock is gated, the WDOG can run only on low-power oscillator clock
(CLK_SRC=0) if it is enabled in stop (STOP_EN=1). In this case, the WDOG runs to time-out
twice, and then generates a reset from its backup circuitry. Therefore, if you program the
watchdog to time-out after 100 ms and then enter such a stop mode, the reset will occur after
200 ms. Also, in this case, no interrupt will be generated irrespective of the value of
IRQ_RST_EN bit. After WDOG reset, the WDOG reset counter will also not increment.

Power-Down

The watchdog is powered off.

24.3.7 Debug modes of operation
You can program the watchdog to disable in debug modes through DBG_EN in the
watchdog control register. This results in the watchdog timer pausing for the duration of
the mode. Register read/writes are still allowed, which means that operations like refresh,
unlock, and so on are allowed. Upon exit from the mode, the timer resumes its operation
from the point of pausing.
The entry of the system into the debug mode does not excuse it from compulsorily
configuring the watchdog in the WCT time after unlock, unless the system bus clock is
gated off, in which case the internal state machine pauses too. Failing to do so still results
in a reset, or interrupt-then-reset, if enabled, to the system. Also, all of the exception
conditions that result in a reset to the system, as described in Generated Resets and
Interrupts, are still valid in this mode. So, if an exception condition occurs and the system
bus clock is on, a reset occurs, or interrupt-then-reset, if enabled.
The entry into Debug mode within WCT after reset is treated differently. The WDOG
timer is kept reset to zero and there is no need to unlock and configure it within WCT.
You must not try to refresh or unlock the WDOG in this state or unknown behavior may
result. Upon exit from this mode, the WDOG timer restarts and the WDOG has to be
unlocked and configured within WCT.

Testing the watchdog

24.4 Testing the watchdog
For IEC 60730 and other safety standards, the expectation is that anything that monitors a
safety function must be tested, and this test is required to be fault tolerant. To test the
watchdog, its main timer and its associated compare and reset logic must be tested. To
this end, two tests are implemented for the watchdog, as described in Quick Test and
Byte Test. A control bit is provided to put the watchdog into functional test mode. There
is also an overriding test-disable control bit which allows the functional test mode to be
disabled permanently. After it is set, this test-disable bit can only be cleared by a reset.
These two tests achieve the overall aim of testing the counter functioning and the
compare and reset logic.
Note
Do not enable the watchdog interrupt during these tests. If
required, you must ensure that the effective time-out value is
greater than WCT time. See Generated Resets and Interrupts for
more details.
To run a particular test:
1. Select either quick test or byte test..
2. Set a certain test mode bit to put the watchdog in the functional test mode. Setting
this bit automatically switches the watchdog timer to a fast clock source. The
switching of the clock source is done to achieve a faster time-out and hence a faster
test.
In a successful test, the timer times out after reaching the programmed time-out value and
generates a system reset.
Note
After emerging from a reset due to a watchdog test, unlock and
configure the watchdog. The refresh and unlock operations and
interrupt are not automatically disabled in the test mode.

Chapter 24 Watchdog Timer (WDOG)

24.4.1 Quick test
In this test, the time-out value of watchdog timer is programmed to a very low value to
achieve quick time-out. The only difference between the quick test and the normal mode
of the watchdog is that TESTWDOG is set for the quick test. This allows for a faster test
of the watchdog reset mechanism.

24.4.2 Byte test
The byte test is a more thorough a test of the watchdog timer. In this test, the timer is split
up into its constituent byte-wide stages that are run independently and tested for time-out
against the corresponding byte of the time-out value register. The following figure
explains the splitting concept:

Nth Stage Overflow Enables N + 1th Stage

Figure 24-2. Watchdog timer byte splitting

Each stage is an 8-bit synchronous counter followed by combinational logic that
generates an overflow signal. The overflow signal acts as an enable to the N + 1th stage.
In the test mode, when an individual byte, N, is tested, byte N – 1 is loaded forcefully
with 0xFF, and both these bytes are allowed to run off the clock source. By doing so, the
overflow signal from stage N – 1 is generated immediately, enabling counter stage N.
The Nth stage runs and compares with the Nth byte of the time-out value register. In this
way, the byte N is also tested along with the link between it and the preceding stage. No

other stages, N – 2, N – 3... and N + 1, N + 2... are enabled for the test on byte N. These
disabled stages, except the most significant stage of the counter, are loaded with a value
of 0xFF.

24.5 Backup reset generator
The backup reset generator generates the final reset which goes out to the system. It has a
backup mechanism which ensures that in case the bus clock stops and prevents the main
state machine from generating a reset exception/interrupt, the watchdog timer's time-out
is separately routed out as a reset to the system. Two successive timer time-outs without
an intervening system reset result in the backup reset generator routing out the time-out
signal as a reset to the system.

24.6 Generated resets and interrupts
The watchdog generates a reset in the following events, also referred to as exceptions:
• A watchdog time-out
• Failure to unlock the watchdog within WCT time after system reset deassertion
• No update of the control and configuration registers within the WCT window after
unlocking. At least one of the following registers must be written to within the WCT
window to avoid reset:
• WDOG_ST_CTRL_H, WDOG_ST_CTRL_L
• WDOG_TO_VAL_H, WDOG_TO_VAL_L
• WDOG_WIN_H, WDOG_WIN_L
• WDOG_PRESCALER
• A value other than the unlock sequence or the refresh sequence is written to the
unlock and/or refresh registers, respectively.
• A gap of more than 20 bus cycles exists between the writes of two values of the
unlock sequence.
• A gap of more than 20 bus cycles exists between the writes of two values of the
refresh sequence.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
566

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 24 Watchdog Timer (WDOG)

The watchdog can also generate an interrupt. If IRQ_RST_EN is set, then on the above
mentioned events WDOG_ST_CTRL_L[INT_FLG] is set, generating an interrupt. A
watchdog reset is also generated WCT time later to ensure the watchdog is fault tolerant.
The interrupt can be cleared by writing 1 to INT_FLG.
The gap of WCT between interrupt and reset means that the WDOG time-out value must
be greater than WCT. Otherwise, if the interrupt was generated due to a time-out, a
second consecutive time-out will occur in that WCT gap. This will trigger the backup
reset generator to generate a reset to the system, prematurely ending the interrupt service
routine execution. Also, jobs such as counting the number of watchdog resets would not
be done.

24.8 Watchdog operation with 8-bit access
24.8.1 General guideline
When performing 8-bit accesses to the watchdog's 16-bit registers where the intention is
to access both the bytes of a register, place the two 8-bit accesses one after the other in
your code.

24.8.2 Refresh and unlock operations with 8-bit access
One exception condition that generates a reset to the system is the write of any value
other than those required for a legal refresh/update sequence to the respective refresh and
unlock registers.
For an 8-bit access to these registers, writing a correct value requires at least two bus
clock cycles, resulting in an invalid value in the registers for one cycle. Therefore, the
system is reset even if the intention is to write a correct value to the refresh/unlock
register. Keeping this in mind, the exception condition for 8-bit accesses is slightly
modified.

Chapter 24 Watchdog Timer (WDOG)

Whereas the match for a correct value for a refresh/unlock sequence is as according to the
original definition, the match for an incorrect value is done byte-wise on the refresh/
unlock rather than for the whole 16-bit value. This means that if the high byte of the
refresh/unlock register contains any value other than high bytes of the two values that
make up the sequence, it is treated as an exception condition, leading to a reset or
interrupt-then-reset. The same holds true for the lower byte of the refresh or unlock
register. Take the refresh operation that expects a write of 0xA602 followed by 0xB480
to the refresh register, as an example.

As shown in the preceding table, the refresh register holds its reset value initially.
Thereafter, two 8-bit accesses are performed on the register to write the first value of the
refresh sequence. No mismatch exception is registered on the intermediate write, Write1.
The sequence is completed by performing two more 8-bit accesses, writing in the second
value of the sequence for a successful refresh. It must be noted that the match of value2
takes place only when the complete 16-bit value is correctly written, write4. Hence, the
requirement of writing value2 of the sequence within 20 bus clock cycles of value1 is
checked by measuring the gap between write2 and write4.
It is reiterated that the condition for matching values 1 and 2 of the refresh or unlock
sequence remains unchanged. The difference for 8-bit accesses is that the criterion for
detecting a mismatch is less strict. Any 16-bit access still needs to adhere to the original
guidelines, mentioned in the sections Refreshing the Watchdog.

24.9 Restrictions on watchdog operation
This section mentions some exceptions to the watchdog operation that may not be
apparent to you.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Restrictions on watchdog operation

• Restriction on unlock/refresh operations—In the period between the closure of the
WCT window after unlock and the actual reload of the watchdog timer, unlock and
refresh operations need not be attempted.
• The update and reload of the watchdog timer happens two to three watchdog clocks
after WCT window closes, following a successful configuration on unlock.
• Clock Switching Delay—The watchdog uses glitch-free multiplexers at two places –
one to choose between the LPO oscillator input and alternate clock input, and the
other to choose between the watchdog functional clock and fast clock input for
watchdog functional test. A maximum time period of ~2 clock A cycles plus ~2
clock B cycles elapses from the time a switch is requested to the occurrence of the
actual clock switch, where clock A and B are the two input clocks to the clock mux.
• For the windowed mode, there is a two to three bus clock latency between the
watchdog counter going past the window value and the same registering in the bus
clock domain.
• For proper operation of the watchdog, the watchdog clock must be at least five times
slower than the system bus clock at all times. An exception is when the watchdog
clock is synchronous to the bus clock wherein the watchdog clock can be as fast as
the bus clock.
• WCT must be equivalent to at least three watchdog clock cycles. If not ensured, this
means that even after the close of the WCT window, you have to wait for the
synchronized system reset to deassert in the watchdog clock domain, before
expecting the configuration updates to take effect.
• The time-out value of the watchdog should be set to a minimum of four watchdog
clock cycles. This is to take into account the delay in new settings taking effect in the
watchdog clock domain.
• You must take care not only to refresh the watchdog within the watchdog timer's
actual time-out period, but also provide enough allowance for the time it takes for the
refresh sequence to be detected by the watchdog timer, on the watchdog clock.
• Updates cannot be made in the bus clock cycle immediately following the write of
the unlock sequence, but one bus clock cycle later.
• It should be ensured that the time-out value for the watchdog is always greater than
2xWCT time + 20 bus clock cycles.
• An attempted refresh operation, in between the two writes of the unlock sequence
and in the WCT time following a successful unlock, will go undetected.

576

Chapter 24 Watchdog Timer (WDOG)

• Trying to unlock the watchdog within the WCT time after an initial unlock has no
effect.
• The refresh and unlock operations and interrupt are not automatically disabled in the
watchdog functional test mode.
• After emerging from a reset due to a watchdog functional test, you are still expected
to go through the mandatory steps of unlocking and configuring the watchdog. The
watchdog continues to be in its functional test mode and therefore you should pull
the watchdog out of the functional test mode within WCT time of reset.
• After emerging from a reset due to a watchdog functional test, you still need to go
through the mandatory steps of unlocking and configuring the watchdog.
• You must ensure that both the clock inputs to the glitchless clock multiplexers are
alive during the switching of clocks. Failure to do so results in a loss of clock at their
outputs.
• There is a gap of two to three watchdog clock cycles from the point that stop mode is
entered to the watchdog timer actually pausing, due to synchronization. The same
holds true for an exit from the stop mode, this time resulting in a two to three
watchdog clock cycle delay in the timer restarting. In case the duration of the stop
mode is less than one watchdog clock cycle, the watchdog timer is not guaranteed to
pause.
• Consider the case when the first refresh value is written, following which the system
enters stop mode with system bus clk still on. If the second refresh value is not
written within 20 bus cycles of the first value, the system is reset, or interrupt-thenreset if enabled.

Multipurpose Clock Generator (MCG)
25.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The multipurpose clock generator (MCG) module provides several clock source choices
for the MCU.
The module contains a frequency-locked loop (FLL) and a phase-locked loop (PLL). The
FLL is controllable by either an internal or an external reference clock. The PLL is
controllable by the external reference clock. The module can select either an FLL or PLL
output clock, or a reference clock (internal or external) as a source for the MCU system
clock. The MCG operates in conjuction with a crystal oscillator, which allows an external
crystal, ceramic resonator, or another external clock source to produce the external
reference clock.

25.1.1 Features
Key features of the MCG module are:
• Frequency-locked loop (FLL):
• Digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO)
• DCO frequency range is programmable for up to four different frequency ranges.
• Option to program and maximize DCO output frequency for a low frequency
external reference clock source.
• Option to prevent FLL from resetting its current locked frequency when
switching clock modes if FLL reference frequency is not changed.

Encoding 3 — High range.

Fast Internal Reference Clock Trim Setting
FCTRIM 1 controls the fast internal reference clock frequency by controlling the fast internal reference
clock period. The FCTRIM bits are binary weighted, that is, bit 1 adjusts twice as much as bit 0. Increasing
the binary value increases the period, and decreasing the value decreases the period.
If an FCTRIM[3:0] value stored in nonvolatile memory is to be used, it is your responsibility to copy that
value from the nonvolatile memory location to this register.

SCFTRIM

Slow Internal Reference Clock Fine Trim
SCFTRIM 2 controls the smallest adjustment of the slow internal reference clock frequency. Setting
SCFTRIM increases the period and clearing SCFTRIM decreases the period by the smallest amount
possible.
If an SCFTRIM value stored in nonvolatile memory is to be used, it is your responsibility to copy that value
from the nonvolatile memory location to this bit.

Loss of Lock Status
This bit is a sticky bit indicating the lock status for the PLL. LOLS is set if after acquiring lock, the PLL
output frequency has fallen outside the lock exit frequency tolerance, D unl . LOLIE determines whether an
interrupt request is made when LOLS is set. LOLRE determines whether a reset request is made when
LOLS is set. This bit is cleared by reset or by writing a logic 1 to it when set. Writing a logic 0 to this bit has
no effect.

LOCK0

Lock Status
This bit indicates whether the PLL has acquired lock. Lock detection is only enabled when the PLL is
enabled (either through clock mode selection or PLLCLKEN0=1 setting). While the PLL clock is locking to
the desired frequency, the MCG PLL clock (MCGPLLCLK) will be gated off until the LOCK bit gets
asserted. If the lock status bit is set, changing the value of the PRDIV0 [4:0] bits in the C5 register or the
VDIV0[4:0] bits in the C6 register causes the lock status bit to clear and stay cleared until the PLL has
reacquired lock. Loss of PLL reference clock will also cause the LOCK0 bit to clear until the PLL has
reacquired lock. Entry into LLS, VLPS, or regular Stop with PLLSTEN=0 also causes the lock status bit to
clear and stay cleared until the Stop mode is exited and the PLL has reacquired lock. Any time the PLL is
enabled and the LOCK0 bit is cleared, the MCGPLLCLK will be gated off until the LOCK0 bit is asserted
again.

reference clock. The PLL clock frequency locks to a multiplication factor, as specified by its
corresponding VDIV, times the selected PLL reference frequency, as specified by its corresponding
PRDIV. The PLL's programmable reference divider must be configured to produce a valid PLL
reference clock. The FLL is disabled in a low-power state.

PLL Bypassed External PLL Bypassed External (PBE) mode is entered when all the following conditions occur:
(PBE)
• 10 is written to C1[CLKS].
• 0 is written to C1[IREFS].
• 1 is written to C6[PLLS].
• 0 is written to C2[LP].
In PBE mode, MCGOUTCLK is derived from the OSCSEL external reference clock; the PLL is
operational, but its output clock is not used. This mode is useful to allow the PLL to acquire its target
frequency while MCGOUTCLK is driven from the external reference clock. The PLL clock frequency
locks to a multiplication factor, as specified by its [VDIV], times the PLL reference frequency, as
specified by its [PRDIV]. In preparation for transition to PEE, the PLL's programmable reference
divider must be configured to produce a valid PLL reference clock. The FLL is disabled in a lowpower state.
Bypassed Low Power
Internal (BLPI)1

Bypassed Low Power Internal (BLPI) mode is entered when all the following conditions occur:
• 01 is written to C1[CLKS].
• 1 is written to C1[IREFS].
• 0 is written to C6[PLLS].
• 1 is written to C2[LP].
In BLPI mode, MCGOUTCLK is derived from the internal reference clock. The FLL is disabled and
PLL is disabled even if C5[PLLCLKEN] is set to 1.

Bypassed Low Power
External (BLPE)

Bypassed Low Power External (BLPE) mode is entered when all the following conditions occur:
• 10 is written to C1[CLKS].
• 0 is written to C1[IREFS].
• 1 is written to C2[LP].
In BLPE mode, MCGOUTCLK is derived from the OSCSEL external reference clock. The FLL is
disabled and PLL is disabled even if the C5[PLLCLKEN] is set to 1.

Description

Stop

Entered whenever the MCU enters a Stop state. The power modes are chip specific. For power
mode assignments, see the chapter that describes how modules are configured and MCG behavior
during Stop recovery. Entering Stop mode, the FLL is disabled, and all MCG clock signals are static
except in the following case:
MCGPLLCLK is active in Normal Stop mode when PLLSTEN=1
MCGIRCLK is active in Normal Stop mode when all the following conditions become true:
• C1[IRCLKEN] = 1
• C1[IREFSTEN] = 1
NOTE:

• In VLPS Stop Mode, the MCGIRCLK can be programmed to stay enabled and
continue running if C1[IRCLKEN] = 1, C1[IREFSTEN]=1, and Fast IRC clock is
selected (C2[IRCS] = 1)

NOTE:

• When entering Low Power Stop modes (LLS or VLPS) from PEE mode, on exit the
MCG clock mode is forced to PBE clock mode. C1[CLKS] and S[CLKST] will be
configured to 2’b10if entering from PEE mode or to 2’b01 if entering from PEI mode,
C5[PLLSTEN0] will be force to 1'b0 and S[LOCK] bit will be cleared without setting
S[LOLS].
• When entering Normal Stop mode from PEE mode and if C5[PLLSTEN]=0, on exit
the MCG clock mode is forced to PBE mode, the C1[CLKS] and S[CLKST] will be
configured to 2’b10 and S[LOCK] bit will clear without setting S[LOLS]. If
C5[PLLSTEN]=1, the S[LOCK] bit will not get cleared and on exit the MCG will
continue to run in PEE mode.

1. If entering VLPR mode, MCG has to be configured and enter BLPE mode or BLPI mode with the Fast IRC clock selected
(C2[IRCS]=1). After it enters VLPR mode, writes to any of the MCG control registers that can cause an MCG clock mode
switch to a non low power clock mode must be avoided.

NOTE
For the chip-specific modes of operation, see the power
management chapter of this MCU.

25.4.1.2 MCG mode switching
C1[IREFS] can be changed at any time, but the actual switch to the newly selected
reference clocks is shown by S[IREFST]. When switching between engaged internal and
engaged external modes, the FLL will begin locking again after the switch is completed.
C1[CLKS] can also be changed at any time, but the actual switch to the newly selected
clock is shown by S[CLKST]. If the newly selected clock is not available, the previous
clock will remain selected.
The C4[DRST_DRS] write bits can be changed at any time except when C2[LP] bit is 1.
If C4[DRST_DRS] write bits are changed while in FLL engaged internal (FEI) or FLL
engaged external (FEE), the MCGOUTCLK will switch to the new selected DCO range

Chapter 25 Multipurpose Clock Generator (MCG)

within three clocks of the selected DCO clock. After switching to the new DCO, the FLL
remains unlocked for several reference cycles. DCO startup time is equal to the FLL
acquisition time. After the selected DCO startup time is over, the FLL is locked. The
completion of the switch is shown by the C4[DRST_DRS] read bits.

25.4.2 Low-power bit usage
C2[LP] is provided to allow the FLL or PLL to be disabled and thus conserve power
when these systems are not being used. C4[DRST_DRS] can not be written while C2[LP]
is 1. However, in some applications, it may be desirable to enable the FLL or PLL and
allow it to lock for maximum accuracy before switching to an engaged mode. Do this by
writing 0 to C2[LP].

25.4.3 MCG Internal Reference Clocks
This module supports two internal reference clocks with nominal frequencies of 32 kHz
(slow IRC) and 4 MHz (fast IRC). The fast IRC frequency can be divided down by
programming of the FCRDIV to produce a frequency range of 32 kHz to 4 MHz.

25.4.3.1 MCG Internal Reference Clock
The MCG Internal Reference Clock (MCGIRCLK) provides a clock source for other onchip peripherals and is enabled when C1[IRCLKEN]=1. When enabled, MCGIRCLK is
driven by either the fast internal reference clock (4 MHz IRC which can be divided down
by the FRDIV factors) or the slow internal reference clock (32 kHz IRC). The IRCS
clock frequency can be re-targeted by trimming the period of its IRCS selected internal
reference clock. This can be done by writing a new trim value to the
C3[SCTRIM]:C4[SCFTRIM] bits when the slow IRC clock is selected or by writing a
new trim value to C4[FCTRIM]:C2[FCFTRIM] when the fast IRC clock is selected. The
internal reference clock period is proportional to the trim value written.
C3[SCTRIM]:C4[SCFTRIM] (if C2[IRCS]=0) and C4[FCTRIM]:C2[FCFTRIM] (if
C2[IRCS]=1) bits affect the MCGOUTCLK frequency if the MCG is in FBI or BLPI
modes. C3[SCTRIM]:C4[SCFTRIM] (if C2[IRCS]=0) bits also affect the
MCGOUTCLK frequency if the MCG is in FEI mode.
Additionally, this clock can be enabled in Stop mode by setting C1[IRCLKEN] and
C1[IREFSTEN], otherwise this clock is disabled in Stop mode.

Functional description

25.4.4 External Reference Clock
The MCG module can support an external reference clock in all modes. See the device
datasheet for external reference frequency range. When C1[IREFS] is set, the external
reference clock will not be used by the FLL or PLL. In these modes, the frequency can be
equal to the maximum frequency the chip-level timing specifications will support.
If any of the CME bits are asserted the slow internal reference clock is enabled along
with the enabled external clock monitor. For the case when C6[CME0]=1, a loss of clock
is detected if the OSC0 external reference falls below a minimum frequency (floc_high or
floc_low depending on C2[RANGE0]). For the case when C8[CME1]=1, a loss of clock is
detected if the RTC external reference falls below a minimum frequency (floc_low).
NOTE
All clock monitors must be disabled before entering these lowpower modes: Stop, VLPS, VLPR, VLPW, LLS, and VLLSx.
On detecting a loss-of-clock event, the MCU generates a system reset if the respective
LOCRE bit is set. Otherwise the MCG sets the respective LOCS bit and the MCG
generates a LOCS interrupt request. In the case where a OSC loss of clock is detected, the
PLL LOCK status bit is cleared.

25.4.5 MCG Fixed Frequency Clock
The MCG Fixed Frequency Clock (MCGFFCLK) provides a fixed frequency clock
source for other on-chip peripherals; see the block diagram. This clock is driven by either
the slow clock from the internal reference clock generator or the external reference clock
from the Crystal Oscillator, divided by the FLL reference clock divider. The source of
MCGFFCLK is selected by C1[IREFS].
This clock is synchronized to the peripheral bus clock and is valid only when its
frequency is not more than 1/8 of the MCGOUTCLK frequency. When it is not valid, it is
disabled and held high. The MCGFFCLK is not available when the MCG is in BLPI
mode. This clock is also disabled in Stop mode. The FLL reference clock must be set
within the valid frequency range for the MCGFFCLK.

25.4.6 MCG PLL clock
The MCG PLL Clock (MCGPLLCLK) is available depending on the device's
configuration of the MCG module. For more details, see the clock distribution chapter of
this MCU. The MCGPLLCLK is prevented from coming out of the MCG until it is
enabled and S[LOCK0] is set.

25.4.7 MCG Auto TRIM (ATM)
The MCG Auto Trim (ATM) is a MCG feature that when enabled, it configures the MCG
hardware to automatically trim the MCG Internal Reference Clocks using an external
clock as a reference. The selection between which MCG IRC clock gets tested and
enabled is controlled by the ATC[ATMS] control bit (ATC[ATMS]=0 selects the 32 kHz
IRC and ATC[ATMS]=1 selects the 4 MHz IRC). If 4 MHz IRC is selected for the ATM,
a divide by 128 is enabled to divide down the 4 MHz IRC to a range of 31.250 kHz.
When MCG ATM is enabled by writing ATC[ATME] bit to 1, The ATM machine will
start auto trimming the selected IRC clock. During the autotrim process, ATC[ATME]
will remain asserted and will deassert after ATM is completed or an abort occurs. The
MCG ATM is aborted if a write to any of the following control registers is detected : C1,
C3, C4, or ATC or if Stop mode is entered. If an abort occurs, ATC[ATMF] fail flag is
asserted.
The ATM machine uses the bus clock as the external reference clock to perform the IRC
auto-trim. Therefore, it is required that the MCG is configured in a clock mode where the
reference clock used to generate the system clock is the external reference clock such as
FBE clock mode. The MCG must not be configured in a clock mode where selected IRC
ATM clock is used to generate the system clock. The bus clock is also required to be
running with in the range of 8–16 MHz.
To perform the ATM on the selected IRC, the ATM machine uses the successive
approximation technique to adjust the IRC trim bits to generate the desired IRC trimmed
frequency. The ATM SARs each of the ATM IRC trim bits starting with the MSB. For
each trim bit test, the ATM uses a pulse that is generated by the ATM selected IRC clock
to enable a counter that counts number of ATM external clocks. At end of each trim bit,
the ATM external counter value is compared to the ATCV[15:0] register value. Based on
the comparison result, the ATM trim bit under test will get cleared or stay asserted. This
is done until all trim bits have been tested by ATM SAR machine.
Before the ATM can be enabled, the ATM expected count needs to be derived and stored
into the ATCV register. The ATCV expected count is derived based on the required
target Internal Reference Clock (IRC) frequency, and the frequency of the external
reference clock using the following formula:
ATCV

• Fr = Target Internal Reference Clock (IRC) Trimmed Frequency
• Fe = External Clock Frequency

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

603

Initialization / Application information

If the auto trim is being performed on the 4 MHz IRC, the calculated expected count
value must be multiplied by 128 before storing it in the ATCV register. Therefore, the
ATCV Expected Count Value for trimming the 4 MHz IRC is calculated using the
following formula.
(128)

25.5 Initialization / Application information
This section describes how to initialize and configure the MCG module in an application.
The following sections include examples on how to initialize the MCG and properly
switch between the various available modes.

25.5.1 MCG module initialization sequence
The MCG comes out of reset configured for FEI mode.
The internal reference will stabilize in tirefsts microseconds before the FLL can acquire
lock. As soon as the internal reference is stable, the FLL will acquire lock in tfll_acquire
milliseconds.

25.5.1.1 Initializing the MCG
Because the MCG comes out of reset in FEI mode, the only MCG modes that can be
directly switched to upon reset are FEE, FBE, and FBI modes (see Figure 25-14).
Reaching any of the other modes requires first configuring the MCG for one of these
three intermediate modes. Care must be taken to check relevant status bits in the MCG
status register reflecting all configuration changes within each mode.
To change from FEI mode to FEE or FBE modes, follow this procedure:
1. Enable the external clock source by setting the appropriate bits in C2 register.
2. Write to C1 register to select the clock mode.
• If entering FEE mode, set C1[FRDIV] appropriately, clear C1[IREFS] bit to
switch to the external reference, and leave C1[CLKS] at 2'b00 so that the output
of the FLL is selected as the system clock source.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
604

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 25 Multipurpose Clock Generator (MCG)

• If entering FBE, clear C1[IREFS] to switch to the external reference and change
C1[CLKS] to 2'b10 so that the external reference clock is selected as the system
clock source. The C1[FRDIV] bits should also be set appropriately here
according to the external reference frequency to keep the FLL reference clock in
the range of 31.25 kHz to 39.0625 kHz. Although the FLL is bypassed, it is still
on in FBE mode.
• The internal reference can optionally be kept running by setting C1[IRCLKEN].
This is useful if the application will switch back and forth between internal and
external modes. For minimum power consumption, leave the internal reference
disabled while in an external clock mode.
3. Once the proper configuration bits have been set, wait for the affected bits in the
MCG status register to be changed appropriately, reflecting that the MCG has moved
into the proper mode.
• If the MCG is in FEE, FBE, PEE, PBE, or BLPE mode, and C2[EREFS0] was
also set in step 1, wait here for S[OSCINIT0] bit to become set indicating that
the external clock source has finished its initialization cycles and stabilized.
• If in FEE mode, check to make sure S[IREFST] is cleared before moving on.
• If in FBE mode, check to make sure S[IREFST] is cleared and S[CLKST] bits
have changed to 2'b10 indicating the external reference clock has been
appropriately selected. Although the FLL is bypassed, it is still on in FBE mode.
4. Write to the C4 register to determine the DCO output (MCGFLLCLK) frequency
range.
• By default, with C4[DMX32] cleared to 0, the FLL multiplier for the DCO
output is 640. For greater flexibility, if a mid-low-range FLL multiplier of 1280
is desired instead, set C4[DRST_DRS] bits to 2'b01 for a DCO output frequency
of 40 MHz. If a mid high-range FLL multiplier of 1920 is desired instead, set the
C4[DRST_DRS] bits to 2'b10 for a DCO output frequency of 60 MHz. If a highrange FLL multiplier of 2560 is desired instead, set the C4[DRST_DRS] bits to
2'b11 for a DCO output frequency of 80 MHz.
• When using a 32.768 kHz external reference, if the maximum low-range DCO
frequency that can be achieved with a 32.768 kHz reference is desired, set
C4[DRST_DRS] bits to 2'b00 and set C4[DMX32] bit to 1. The resulting DCO
output (MCGOUTCLK) frequency with the new multiplier of 732 will be 24
MHz.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

605

Initialization / Application information

• When using a 32.768 kHz external reference, if the maximum mid-range DCO
frequency that can be achieved with a 32.768 kHz reference is desired, set
C4[DRST_DRS] bits to 2'b01 and set C4[DMX32] bit to 1. The resulting DCO
output (MCGOUTCLK) frequency with the new multiplier of 1464 will be 48
MHz.
• When using a 32.768 kHz external reference, if the maximum mid high-range
DCO frequency that can be achieved with a 32.768 kHz reference is desired, set
C4[DRST_DRS] bits to 2'b10 and set C4[DMX32] bit to 1. The resulting DCO
output (MCGOUTCLK) frequency with the new multiplier of 2197 will be 72
MHz.
• When using a 32.768 kHz external reference, if the maximum high-range DCO
frequency that can be achieved with a 32.768 kHz reference is desired, set
C4[DRST_DRS] bits to 2'b11 and set C4[DMX32] bit to 1. The resulting DCO
output (MCGOUTCLK) frequency with the new multiplier of 2929 will be 96
MHz.
5. Wait for the FLL lock time to guarantee FLL is running at new C4[DRST_DRS] and
C4[DMX32] programmed frequency.
To change from FEI clock mode to FBI clock mode, follow this procedure:
1. Change C1[CLKS] bits in C1 register to 2'b01 so that the internal reference clock is
selected as the system clock source.
2. Wait for S[CLKST] bits in the MCG status register to change to 2'b01, indicating
that the internal reference clock has been appropriately selected.
3. Write to the C2 register to determine the IRCS output (IRCSCLK) frequency range.
• By default, with C2[IRCS] cleared to 0, the IRCS selected output clock is the
slow internal reference clock (32 kHz IRC). If the faster IRC is desired, set
C2[IRCS] to 1 for a IRCS clock derived from the 4 MHz IRC source.

25.5.2 Using a 32.768 kHz reference
In FEE and FBE modes, if using a 32.768 kHz external reference, at the default FLL
multiplication factor of 640, the DCO output (MCGFLLCLK) frequency is 20.97 MHz at
low-range.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
606

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 25 Multipurpose Clock Generator (MCG)

If C4[DRST_DRS] bits are set to 2'b01, the multiplication factor is doubled to 1280, and
the resulting DCO output frequency is 41.94 MHz at mid-low-range. If C4[DRST_DRS]
bits are set to 2'b10, the multiplication factor is set to 1920, and the resulting DCO output
frequency is 62.91 MHz at mid high-range. If C4[DRST_DRS] bits are set to 2'b11, the
multiplication factor is set to 2560, and the resulting DCO output frequency is 83.89
MHz at high-range.
In FBI and FEI modes, setting C4[DMX32] bit is not recommended. If the internal
reference is trimmed to a frequency above 32.768 kHz, the greater FLL multiplication
factor could potentially push the microcontroller system clock out of specification and
damage the part.

25.5.3 MCG mode switching
When switching between operational modes of the MCG, certain configuration bits must
be changed in order to properly move from one mode to another.
Each time any of these bits are changed (C6[PLLS], C1[IREFS], C1[CLKS], C2[IRCS],
or C2[EREFS0]), the corresponding bits in the MCG status register (PLLST, IREFST,
CLKST, IRCST, or OSCINIT) must be checked before moving on in the application
software.
Additionally, care must be taken to ensure that the reference clock divider (C1[FRDIV]
and C5[PRDIV0]) is set properly for the mode being switched to. For instance, in PEE
mode, if using a 4 MHz crystal, C5[PRDIV0] must be set to 5'b000 (divide-by-1) or
5'b001 (divide-by-2) to divide the external reference down to the required frequency
between 2 and 4 MHz.
In FBE, FEE, FBI, and FEI modes, at any time, the application can switch the FLL
multiplication factor between 640, 1280, 1920, and 2560 with C4[DRST_DRS] bits.
Writes to C4[DRST_DRS] bits will be ignored if C2[LP]=1.
The table below shows MCGOUTCLK frequency calculations using C1[FRDIV],
C5[PRDIV0], and C6[VDIV0] settings for each clock mode.

This section will include three mode switching examples using an 4 MHz external
crystal. If using an external clock source less than 2 MHz, the MCG must not be
configured for any of the PLL modes (PEE and PBE).

25.5.3.1 Example 1: Moving from FEI to PEE mode: External Crystal =
4 MHz, MCGOUTCLK frequency = 48 MHz
In this example, the MCG will move through the proper operational modes from FEI to
PEE to achieve 48 MHz MCGOUTCLK frequency from 4 MHz external crystal
reference. First, the code sequence will be described. Then there is a flowchart that
illustrates the sequence.
1. First, FEI must transition to FBE mode:
a. C2 = 0x2C
• C2[RANGE] set to 2'b01 because the frequency of 4 MHz is within the high
frequency range.
• C2[HGO] set to 1 to configure the crystal oscillator for high gain operation.
• C2[EREFS] set to 1, because a crystal is being used.
b. C1 = 0x90
• C1[CLKS] set to 2'b10 to select external reference clock as system clock
source

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
608

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 25 Multipurpose Clock Generator (MCG)

• C1[FRDIV] set to 3'b010, or divide-by-128 because 4 MHz / 128 = 31.25
kHz which is in the 31.25 kHz to 39.0625 kHz range required by the FLL
• C1[IREFS] cleared to 0, selecting the external reference clock and enabling
the external oscillator.
c. Loop until S[OSCINIT0] is 1, indicating the crystal selected by C2[EREFS0] has
been initialized.
d. Loop until S[IREFST] is 0, indicating the external reference is the current source
for the reference clock.
e. Loop until S[CLKST] is 2'b10, indicating that the external reference clock is
selected to feed MCGOUTCLK.
2. Then configure C5[PRDIV0] to generate correct PLL reference frequency.
a. C5 = 0x01
• C5[PRDIV] set to 5'b00001, or divide-by-2 resulting in a pll reference
frequency of 4MHz/2 = 2 MHz.
3. Then, FBE must transition either directly to PBE mode or first through BLPE mode
and then to PBE mode:
a. BLPE: If a transition through BLPE mode is desired, first set C2[LP] to 1.
b. BLPE/PBE: C6 = 0x40
• C6[PLLS] set to 1, selects the PLL. At this time, with a C1[PRDIV] value of
2'b001, the PLL reference divider is 2 (see PLL External Reference Divide
Factor table), resulting in a reference frequency of 4 MHz/ 2 = 2 MHz. In
BLPE mode, changing the C6[PLLS] bit only prepares the MCG for PLL
usage in PBE mode.
• C6[VDIV] set to 5'b00000, or multiply-by-24 because 2 MHz reference * 24
= 48 MHz. In BLPE mode, the configuration of the VDIV bits does not
matter because the PLL is disabled. Changing them only sets up the multiply
value for PLL usage in PBE mode.
c. BLPE: If transitioning through BLPE mode, clear C2[LP] to 0 here to switch to
PBE mode.
d. PBE: Loop until S[PLLST] is set, indicating that the current source for the PLLS
clock is the PLL.
e. PBE: Then loop until S[LOCK0] is set, indicating that the PLL has acquired
lock.

Initialization / Application information

4. Lastly, PBE mode transitions into PEE mode:
a. C1 = 0x10
• C1[CLKS] set to 2'b00 to select the output of the PLL as the system clock
source.
b. Loop until S[CLKST] are 2'b11, indicating that the PLL output is selected to
feed MCGOUTCLK in the current clock mode.
• Now, with PRDIV of divide-by-2, and C6[VDIV] of multiply-by-24,
MCGOUTCLK = [(4 MHz / 2) * 24] = 48 MHz.

25.5.3.2 Example 2: Moving from PEE to BLPI mode: MCGOUTCLK
frequency =32 kHz
In this example, the MCG will move through the proper operational modes from PEE
mode with a 4 MHz crystal configured for a 48 MHz MCGOUTCLK frequency (see
previous example) to BLPI mode with a 32 kHz MCGOUTCLK frequency. First, the
code sequence will be described. Then there is a flowchart that illustrates the sequence.
1. First, PEE must transition to PBE mode:
a. C1 = 0x90
• C1[CLKS] set to 2'b10 to switch the system clock source to the external
reference clock.
b. Loop until S[CLKST] are 2'b10, indicating that the external reference clock is
selected to feed MCGOUTCLK.
2. Then, PBE must transition either directly to FBE mode or first through BLPE mode
and then to FBE mode:
a. BLPE: If a transition through BLPE mode is desired, first set C2[LP] to 1.
b. BLPE/FBE: C6 = 0x00
• C6[PLLS] clear to 0 to select the FLL. At this time, with C1[FRDIV] value
of 3'b010, the FLL divider is set to 128, resulting in a reference frequency of
4 MHz / 128 = 31.25 kHz. If C1[FRDIV] was not previously set to 3'b010
(necessary to achieve required 31.25–39.06 kHz FLL reference frequency
with an 4 MHz external source frequency), it must be changed prior to
clearing C6[PLLS] bit. In BLPE mode,changing this bit only prepares the
MCG for FLL usage in FBE mode. With C6[PLLS] = 0, the C6[VDIV]
value does not matter.
c. BLPE: If transitioning through BLPE mode, clear C2[LP] to 0 here to switch to
FBE mode.
d. FBE: Loop until S[PLLST] is cleared, indicating that the current source for the
PLLS clock is the FLL.
3. Next, FBE mode transitions into FBI mode:
a. C1 = 0x54
• C1[CLKS] set to 2'b01 to switch the system clock to the internal reference
clock.

• C1[IREFS] set to 1 to select the internal reference clock as the reference
clock source.
• C1[FRDIV] remain unchanged because the reference divider does not affect
the internal reference.
b. Loop until S[IREFST] is 1, indicating the internal reference clock has been
selected as the reference clock source.
c. Loop until S[CLKST] are 2'b01, indicating that the internal reference clock is
selected to feed MCGOUTCLK.
4. Lastly, FBI transitions into BLPI mode.
a. C2 = 0x02
• C2[LP] is 1
• C2[RANGE], C2[HGO], C2[EREFS], C1[IRCLKEN], and C1[IREFSTEN]
bits are ignored when the C1[IREFS] bit is set. They can remain set, or be
cleared at this point.

the EXTAL pad by clearing the external reference clock selection bit. For details
regarding the external reference clock source in this MCU, refer to the chip configuration
details. The EXTAL and XTAL pins are also decoupled from all other oscillator circuitry
in this state. The OSC module circuitry is configured to draw minimal current.

Functional Description

26.8.1.2 Oscillator startup
The OSC enters startup state when it is configured to generate clocks (internally the
OSC_EN transitions high) using the internal oscillator circuits by setting the external
reference clock selection bit. In this state, the OSC module is enabled and oscillations are
starting up, but have not yet stabilized. When the oscillation amplitude becomes large
enough to pass through the input buffer, XTL_CLK begins clocking the counter. When
the counter reaches 4096 cycles of XTL_CLK, the oscillator is considered stable and
XTL_CLK is passed to the output clock OSC_CLK_OUT.

26.8.1.3 Oscillator Stable
The OSC enters stable state when it is configured to generate clocks (internally the
OSC_EN transitions high) using the internal oscillator circuits by setting the external
reference clock selection bit and the counter reaches 4096 cycles of XTL_CLK (when
CNT_DONE_4096 is high). In this state, the OSC module is producing a stable output
clock on OSC_CLK_OUT. Its frequency is determined by the external components being
used.

26.8.1.4 External Clock mode
The OSC enters external clock state when it is enabled and external reference clock
selection bit is cleared. For details regarding external reference clock source in this MCU,
see the chip configuration details. In this state, the OSC module is set to buffer (with
hysteresis) a clock from EXTAL onto the OSC_CLK_OUT. Its frequency is determined
by the external clock being supplied.

26.8.2 OSC module modes
The OSC is a pierce-type oscillator that supports external crystals or resonators operating
over the frequency ranges shown in Table 26-5. These modes assume the following
conditions: OSC is enabled to generate clocks (OSC_EN=1), configured to generate
clocks internally (MCG_C2[EREFS] = 1), and some or one of the other peripherals
(MCG, Timer, and so on) is configured to use the oscillator output clock
(OSC_CLK_OUT).

this chip and their alignment with some OSC modes, see the
chip's Power Management details.

26.8.2.1 Low-Frequency, High-Gain Mode
In Low-frequency, high-gain mode, the oscillator uses a simple inverter-style amplifier.
The gain is set to achieve rail-to-rail oscillation amplitudes.
The oscillator input buffer in this mode is single-ended. It provides low pass frequency
filtering as well as hysteresis for voltage filtering and converts the output to logic levels.
In this mode, the internal capacitors could be used.

26.8.2.2 Low-Frequency, Low-Power Mode
In low-frequency, low-power mode, the oscillator uses a gain control loop to minimize
power consumption. As the oscillation amplitude increases, the amplifier current is
reduced. This continues until a desired amplitude is achieved at steady-state. This mode
provides low pass frequency filtering as well as hysteresis for voltage filtering and
converts the output to logic levels. In this mode, the internal capacitors could be used, the
internal feedback resistor is connected, and no external resistor should be used.
In this mode, the amplifier inputs, gain-control input, and input buffer input are all
capacitively coupled for leakage tolerance (not sensitive to the DC level of EXTAL).
Also in this mode, all external components except for the resonator itself are integrated,
which includes the load capacitors and feeback resistor that biases EXTAL.

26.8.2.3 High-Frequency, High-Gain Mode
In high-frequency, high-gain mode, the oscillator uses a simple inverter-style amplifier.
The gain is set to achieve rail-to-rail oscillation amplitudes. This mode provides low pass
frequency filtering as well as hysteresis for voltage filtering and converts the output to
logic levels. In this mode, the internal capacitors could be used.

26.8.2.4 High-Frequency, Low-Power Mode
In high-frequency, low-power mode, the oscillator uses a gain control loop to minimize
power consumption. As the oscillation amplitude increases, the amplifier current is
reduced. This continues until a desired amplitude is achieved at steady-state. In this
mode, the internal capacitors could be used, the internal feedback resistor is connected,
and no external resistor should be used.
The oscillator input buffer in this mode is differential. It provides low pass frequency
filtering as well as hysteresis for voltage filtering and converts the output to logic levels.

26.8.3 Counter
The oscillator output clock (OSC_CLK_OUT) is gated off until the counter has detected
4096 cycles of its input clock (XTL_CLK). After 4096 cycles are completed, the counter
passes XTL_CLK onto OSC_CLK_OUT. This counting timeout is used to guarantee
output clock stability.

26.8.4 Reference clock pin requirements
The OSC module requires use of both the EXTAL and XTAL pins to generate an output
clock in Oscillator mode, but requires only the EXTAL pin in External clock mode. The
EXTAL and XTAL pins are available for I/O. For the implementation of these pins on
this device, refer to the Signal Multiplexing chapter.

26.9 Reset
There is no reset state associated with the OSC module. The counter logic is reset when
the OSC is not configured to generate clocks.
There are no sources of reset requests for the OSC module.

26.10 Low power modes operation
When the MCU enters Stop modes, the OSC is functional depending on CR[ERCLKEN]
and CR[EREFSETN] bit settings. If both these bits are set, the OSC is in operation.
In Low Leakage Stop (LLS) modes, the OSC holds all register settings. If
CR[ERCLKEN] and CR[EREFSTEN] are set before entry to Low Leakage Stop modes,
the OSC is still functional in these modes. After waking up from Very Low Leakage Stop
(VLLSx) modes, all OSC register bits are reset and initialization is required through
software.

Flash Memory Controller (FMC)
28.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The Flash Memory Controller (FMC) is a memory acceleration unit that provides:
• an interface between the device and the dual-bank nonvolatile memory. Bank 0
consists of program flash memory, and bank 1 consists of FlexNVM.
• buffers that can accelerate flash memory and FlexNVM data transfers.

28.1.1 Overview
The Flash Memory Controller manages the interface between the device and the dualbank flash memory. The FMC receives status information detailing the configuration of
the memory and uses this information to ensure a proper interface. The following table
shows the supported read/write operations.

In addition, for bank 0 and bank 1, the FMC provides three separate mechanisms for
accelerating the interface between the device and the flash memory. A 64-bit speculation
buffer can prefetch the next 64-bit flash memory location, and both a 4-way, 4-set cache
and a single-entry 64-bit buffer can store previously accessed flash memory or FlexNVM
data for quick access times.

Modes of operation

28.1.2 Features
The FMC's features include:
• Interface between the device and the dual-bank flash memory and FlexMemory:
• 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit read operations to program flash memory and FlexNVM
used as data flash memory.
• 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit read and write operations to FlexNVM and FlexRAM
used as EEPROM.
• For bank 0 and bank 1: Read accesses to consecutive 32-bit spaces in memory
return the second read data with no wait states. The memory returns 64 bits via
the 32-bit bus access.
• Crossbar master access protection for setting no access, read-only access, writeonly access, or read/write access for each crossbar master.
• For bank 0 and bank 1: Acceleration of data transfer from program flash memory and
FlexMemory to the device:
• 64-bit prefetch speculation buffer with controls for instruction/data access per
master and bank
• 4-way, 4-set, 64-bit line size cache for a total of sixteen 64-bit entries with
controls for replacement algorithm and lock per way for each bank
• Single-entry buffer with enable per bank
• Invalidation control for the speculation buffer and the single-entry buffer

28.2 Modes of operation
The FMC only operates when the device accesses the flash memory or FlexMemory.
In terms of device power modes, the FMC only operates in run and wait modes, including
VLPR and VLPW modes.
For any device power mode where the flash memory or FlexMemory cannot be accessed,
the FMC is disabled.

The programming model consists of the FMC control registers and the program visible
cache (data and tag/valid entries).
NOTE
Program the registers only while the flash controller is idle (for
example, execute from RAM). Changing configuration settings
while a flash access is in progress can lead to non-deterministic
behavior.

NOTE
Accesses to unimplemented registers within the FMC's 4 KB

The cache entries, both data and tag/valid, can be read at any time.
NOTE
System software is required to maintain memory coherence
when any segment of the flash cache is programmed. For
example, all buffer data associated with the reprogrammed flash
should be invalidated. Accordingly, cache program visible
writes must occur after a programming or erase event is
completed and before the new memory image is accessed.
The cache is a 4-way, set-associative cache with 4 sets. The ways are numbered 0-3 and
the sets are numbered 0-3. The following table elaborates on the tag/valid and data
entries.

Description
Bank 0 Read Wait State Control
This read-only field defines the number of wait states required to access the bank 0 flash memory.
The relationship between the read access time of the flash array (expressed in system clock cycles) and
RWSC is defined as:
Access time of flash array [system clocks] = RWSC + 1
The FMC automatically calculates this value based on the ratio of the system clock speed to the flash
clock speed. For example, when this ratio is 4:1, the field's value is 3h.

23–20
Cache Invalidate Way x
CINV_WAY[3:0]
These bits determine if the given cache way is to be invalidated (cleared). When a bit within this field is
written, the corresponding cache way is immediately invalidated: the way's tag, data, and valid contents
are cleared. This field always reads as zero.
Cache invalidation takes precedence over locking. The cache is invalidated by system reset. System
software is required to maintain memory coherency when any segment of the flash memory is
programmed or erased. Accordingly, cache invalidations must occur after a programming or erase event is
completed and before the new memory image is accessed.
The bit setting definitions are for each bit in the field.

Description
Bank 1 Read Wait State Control
This read-only field defines the number of wait states required to access the bank 1 flash memory.
The relationship between the read access time of the flash array (expressed in system clock cycles) and
RWSC is defined as:
Access time of flash array [system clocks] = RWSC + 1
The FMC automatically calculates this value based on the ratio of the system clock speed to the flash
clock speed. For example, when this ratio is 4:1, the field's value is 3h.

28.5 Functional description
The FMC is a flash acceleration unit with flexible buffers for user configuration. Besides
managing the interface between the device and the flash memory and FlexMemory, the
FMC can be used to restrict access from crossbar switch masters and customize the cache
and buffers to provide single-cycle system-clock data-access times. Whenever a hit
occurs for the prefetch speculation buffer, the cache, or the single-entry buffer, the
requested data is transferred within a single system clock.

28.5.1 Default configuration
Upon system reset, the FMC is configured to provide a significant level of buffering for
transfers from the flash memory or FlexMemory:
• Crossbar masters 0, 1, 2 have read access to bank 0 and bank 1.

Functional description

• These masters have write access to a portion of bank 1 when FlexNVM is used with
FlexRAM as EEPROM.
• For bank 0 and bank 1:
• Prefetch support for data and instructions is enabled for crossbar masters 0, 1, 2.
• The cache is configured for least recently used (LRU) replacement for all four
ways.
• The cache is configured for data or instruction replacement.
• The single-entry buffer is enabled.

28.5.2 Configuration options
Though the default configuration provides a high degree of flash acceleration, advanced
users may desire to customize the FMC buffer configurations to maximize throughput for
their use cases. When reconfiguring the FMC for custom use cases, do not program the
FMC's control registers while the flash memory or FlexMemory is being accessed.
Instead, change the control registers with a routine executing from RAM in supervisor
mode.
The FMC's cache and buffering controls within PFB0CR and PFB1CR allow the tuning
of resources to suit particular applications' needs. The cache and two buffers are each
controlled individually. The register controls enable buffering and prefetching per
memory bank and access type (instruction fetch or data reference). The cache also
supports three types of LRU replacement algorithms:
• LRU per set across all four ways,
• LRU with ways [0-1] for instruction fetches and ways [2-3] for data fetches, and
• LRU with ways [0-2] for instruction fetches and way [3] for data fetches.
As an application example: if both instruction fetches and data references are accessing
bank 0, control is available to send instruction fetches, data references, or both to the
cache or the single-entry buffer. Likewise, speculation can be enabled or disabled for
either type of access. If both instruction fetches and data references are cached, the
cache's way resources may be divided in several ways between the instruction fetches and
data references.
In another application example, the cache can be configured for replacement from bank
0, while the single-entry buffer can be enabled for bank 1 only. This configuration is
ideal for applications that use bank 0 for program space and bank 1 for data space.

Chapter 28 Flash Memory Controller (FMC)

28.5.3 Wait states
Because the core, crossbar switch, and bus masters can be clocked at a higher frequency
than the flash clock, flash memory accesses that do not hit in the speculation buffer or
cache usually require wait states. The number of wait states depends on both of the
following:
1. the ratio of the core clock to the flash clock, and
2. the phase relationship of the core clock and flash clock at the time the read is
requested.
The ratio of the core clock to the flash clock is equal to the value of PFB0CR[B0RWSC]
+ 1 for bank 0 and to the value of PFB1CR[B1RWSC] + 1 for bank 1.
For example, in a system with a 4:1 core-to-flash clock ratio, a read that does not hit in
the speculation buffer or the cache can take between 4 and 7 core clock cycles to
complete.
• The best-case scenario is a period of 4 core clock cycles because a read from the
flash memory takes 1 flash clock, which translates to 4 core clocks.
• The worst-case scenario is a period of 7 core clock cycles, consisting of 4 cycles for
the read operation and 3 cycles of delay to align the core and flash clocks.
• A delay to align the core and flash clocks might occur because you can request a
read cycle on any core clock edge, but that edge does not necessarily align with a
flash clock edge where the read can start.
• In this case, the read operation is delayed by a number of core clocks equal to the
core-to-flash clock ratio minus one: 4 - 1 = 3. That is, 3 additional core clock
cycles are required to synchronize the clocks before the read operation can start.
All wait states and synchronization delays are handled automatically by the Flash
Memory Controller. No direct user configuration is required or even allowed to set up the
flash wait states.

28.5.4 Speculative reads
The FMC has a single buffer that reads ahead to the next word in the flash memory if
there is an idle cycle. Speculative prefetching is programmable for each bank for
instruction and/or data accesses using the B0DPE and B0IPE fields of PFB0CR and the
B1DPE and B1IPE fields of PFB1CR. Because many code accesses are sequential, using
the speculative prefetch buffer improves performance in most cases.
When speculative reads are enabled, the FMC immediately requests the next sequential
address after a read completes. By requesting the next word immediately, speculative
reads can help to reduce or even eliminate wait states when accessing sequential code
and/or data.

Initialization and application information

For example, consider the following scenario:
• Assume a system with a 4:1 core-to-flash clock ratio and with speculative reads
enabled.
• The core requests four sequential longwords in back-to-back requests, meaning there
are no core cycle delays except for stalls waiting for flash memory data to be
returned.
• None of the data is already stored in the cache or speculation buffer.
In this scenario, the sequence of events for accessing the four longwords is as follows:
1. The first longword read requires 4 to 7 core clocks. See Wait states for more
information.
2. Due to the 64-bit data bus of the flash memory, the second longword read takes only
1 core clock because the data is already available inside the FMC. While the data for
the second longword is being returned to the core, the FMC also starts reading the
third and fourth longwords from the flash memory.
3. Accessing the third longword requires 3 core clock cycles. The flash memory read
itself takes 4 clocks, but the first clock overlaps with the second longword read.
4. Reading the fourth longword, like the second longword, takes only 1 clock due to the
64-bit flash memory data bus.

28.6 Initialization and application information
The FMC does not require user initialization. Flash acceleration features are enabled by
default.
The FMC has no visibility into flash memory erase and program cycles because the Flash
Memory module manages them directly. As a result, if an application is executing flash
memory commands, the FMC's cache might need to be disabled and/or flushed to prevent
the possibility of returning stale data. Use the PFB0CR[CINV_WAY] field to invalidate
the cache in this manner.

Flash Memory Module (FTFE)
29.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The FTFE module includes the following accessible memory regions:
•
•
•
•

Program flash memory for vector space and code store
For FlexNVM devices: FlexNVM for data store and additional code store
For FlexNVM devices: FlexRAM for high-endurance data store or traditional RAM
For program flash only devices: Programming acceleration RAM to speed flash
programming

Flash memory is ideal for single-supply applications, permitting in-the-field erase and
reprogramming operations without the need for any external high voltage power sources.
The FTFE module includes a memory controller that executes commands to modify flash
memory contents. An erased bit reads '1' and a programmed bit reads '0'. The
programming operation is unidirectional; it can only move bits from the '1' state (erased)
to the '0' state (programmed). Only the erase operation restores bits from '0' to '1'; bits
cannot be programmed from a '0' to a '1'.
CAUTION
A flash memory location must be in the erased state before
being programmed. Cumulative programming of bits (back-toback program operations without an intervening erase) within a
flash memory location is not allowed. Re-programming of
existing 0s to 0 is not allowed as this overstresses the device.

Introduction

The standard shipping condition for flash memory is erased
with security disabled. Data loss over time may occur due to
degradation of the erased ('1') states and/or programmed ('0')
states. Therefore, it is recommended that each flash block or

Introduction

EEPROM backup data memory — Partitioned from the FlexNVM block, EEPROM
backup data memory provides nonvolatile storage for the EEPROM filing system
representing data written to the FlexRAM requiring highest endurance.
EEPROM backup data sector — The EEPROM backup data sector contains one
EEPROM header and up to 255 EEPROM backup data records, which are used by the
EEPROM filing system.
Endurance — The number of times that a flash memory location can be erased and
reprogrammed.
FCCOB (Flash Common Command Object) — A group of flash registers that are used
to pass command, address, data, and any associated parameters to the memory controller
in the FTFE module.
Flash block — A macro within the FTFE module which provides the nonvolatile
memory storage.
FlexMemory — FTFE configuration that supports data flash, EEPROM, and FlexRAM.
FlexNVM Block — The FlexNVM block can be configured to be used as data flash
memory, EEPROM backup flash memory, or a combination of both.
FlexRAM — The FlexRAM refers to a RAM, dedicated to the FTFE module, that can be
configured to store EEPROM data or as traditional RAM. When configured for
EEPROM, valid writes to the FlexRAM generates a new EEPROM backup data record
stored in the EEPROM backup flash memory.
FTFE Module — All flash blocks plus a flash management unit providing high-level
control and an interface to MCU buses.
IFR — Nonvolatile information register found in each flash block, separate from the
main memory array.
NVM — Nonvolatile memory. A memory technology that maintains stored data during
power-off. The flash array is an NVM using NOR-type flash memory technology.
NVM Normal Mode — An NVM mode that provides basic user access to FTFE
resources. The CPU or other bus masters initiate flash program and erase operations (or
other flash commands) using writes to the FCCOB register group in the FTFE module.

and code store.
Program flash sector — The smallest portion of the program flash memory (consecutive
addresses) that can be erased.
Retention — The length of time that data can be kept in the NVM without experiencing
errors upon readout. Since erased (1) states are subject to degradation just like
programmed (0) states, the data retention limit may be reached from the last erase
operation (not from the programming time).
RWW— Read-While-Write. The ability to simultaneously read from one memory
resource while commanded operations are active in another memory resource.
Section program buffer — Lower quarter of the programming acceleration FlexRAM
allocated for storing large amounts of data for programming via the Program Section

29.34.1 Flash Status Register (FTFE_FSTAT)
The FSTAT register reports the operational status of the FTFE module.
The CCIF, RDCOLERR, ACCERR, and FPVIOL bits are readable and writable. The
MGSTAT0 bit is read only. The unassigned bits read 0 and are not writable.
NOTE
When set, the Access Error (ACCERR) and Flash Protection
Violation (FPVIOL) bits in this register prevent the launch of
any more commands or writes to the FlexRAM (when
EEERDY is set) until the flag is cleared (by writing a one to it).

CCIF

Description
Command Complete Interrupt Flag
The CCIF flag indicates that a FTFE command or EEPROM file system operation has completed. The
CCIF flag is cleared by writing a 1 to CCIF to launch a command, and CCIF stays low until command
completion or command violation. The CCIF flag is also cleared by a successful write to FlexRAM while
enabled for EEE, and CCIF stays low until the EEPROM file system has created the associated EEPROM
data record.
The CCIF bit is reset to 0 but is set to 1 by the memory controller at the end of the reset initialization
sequence. Depending on how quickly the read occurs after reset release, the user may or may not see the
0 hardware reset value.

RDCOLERR

Description
FTFE Read Collision Error Flag
The RDCOLERR error bit indicates that the MCU attempted a read from an FTFE resource that was being
manipulated by an FTFE command (CCIF=0). Any simultaneous access is detected as a collision error by
the block arbitration logic. The read data in this case cannot be guaranteed. The RDCOLERR bit is
cleared by writing a 1 to it. Writing a 0 to RDCOLERR has no effect.

ACCERR

Flash Access Error Flag
The ACCERR error bit indicates an illegal access has occurred to an FTFE resource caused by a violation
of the command write sequence or issuing an illegal FTFE command. While ACCERR is set, the CCIF flag
cannot be cleared to launch a command. The ACCERR bit is cleared by writing a 1 to it. Writing a 0 to the
ACCERR bit has no effect.

MGSTAT0

Memory Controller Command Completion Status Flag
The MGSTAT0 status flag is set if an error is detected during execution of an FTFE command or during
the flash reset sequence. As a status flag, this bit cannot (and need not) be cleared by the user like the
other error flags in this register.
The value of the MGSTAT0 bit for "command-N" is valid only at the end of the "command-N" execution
when CCIF=1 and before the next command has been launched. At some point during the execution of
"command-N+1," the previous result is discarded and any previous error is cleared.

29.34.2 Flash Configuration Register (FTFE_FCNFG)
This register provides information on the current functional state of the FTFE module.
The erase control bits (ERSAREQ and ERSSUSP) have write restrictions. SWAP,
PFLSH, RAMRDY, and EEERDY are read-only status bits. The unassigned bits read as
noted and are not writable. The reset values for the SWAP, PFLSH, RAMRDY, and
EEERDY bits are determined during the reset sequence.

CCOBn

The FCCOB register provides a command code and relevant parameters to the memory controller. The
individual registers that compose the FCCOB data set can be written in any order, but you must provide all
needed values, which vary from command to command. First, set up all required FCCOB fields and then
initiate the command’s execution by writing a 1 to the FSTAT[CCIF] bit. This clears the CCIF bit, which
locks all FCCOB parameter fields and they cannot be changed by the user until the command completes
(CCIF returns to 1). No command buffering or queueing is provided; the next command can be loaded
only after the current command completes.
Some commands return information to the FCCOB registers. Any values returned to FCCOB are available
for reading after the FSTAT[CCIF] flag returns to 1 by the memory controller.
The following table shows a generic FTFE command format. The first FCCOB register, FCCOB0, always
contains the command code. This 8-bit value defines the command to be executed. The command code is
followed by the parameters required for this specific FTFE command, typically an address and/or data
values.
NOTE: The command parameter table is written in terms of FCCOB Number (which is equivalent to the
byte number). This number is a reference to the FCCOB register name and is not the register
address.

transition check is performed on a bit-by-bit basis. Those FPROT bits with 1-to-0 transitions are accepted
while all bits with 0-to-1 transitions are ignored.
In NVM Special mode: All bits of FPROT are writable without restriction. Unprotected areas can be
protected and protected areas can be unprotected.
Restriction: The user must never write to any FPROT register while a command is running (CCIF=0).
Trying to alter data in any protected area in the program flash memory results in a protection violation

29.4.3 FlexNVM Description
This section describes the FlexNVM memory. This section does not apply for devices
that contain only program flash memory.

29.4.3.1 FlexNVM Block Partitioning for FlexRAM
The user can configure the FlexNVM block as either:
• Basic data flash,
• EEPROM flash records to support the built-in EEPROM feature, or
• A combination of both.
The user's FlexNVM configuration choice is specified using the Program Partition
command described in Program Partition command.

CAUTION
While different partitions of the FlexNVM block are available,
the intention is that a single partition choice is used throughout
the entire lifetime of a given application. The FlexNVM
partition code choices affect the endurance and data retention
characteristics of the device.

Figure 29-31. Top Level EEPROM Architecture

To handle varying customer requirements, the FlexRAM and FlexNVM blocks can be
split into partitions as shown in the figure below.
1. EEPROM partition (EEESIZE) — The amount of FlexRAM used for EEPROM
can be set from 0 Bytes (no EEPROM) to the maximum FlexRAM size (see Table
29-2). The remainder of the FlexRAM not used for EEPROM is not accessible while
the FlexRAM is configured for EEPROM (see Set FlexRAM Function command).
The EEPROM partition grows upward from the bottom of the FlexRAM address
space.
2. Data flash partition (DEPART) — The amount of FlexNVM memory used for data
flash can be programmed from 0 bytes (all of the FlexNVM block is available for
EEPROM backup) to the maximum size of the FlexNVM block (see Table 29-4).
3. FlexNVM EEPROM partition — The amount of FlexNVM memory used for
EEPROM backup, which is equal to the FlexNVM block size minus the data flash
memory partition size. The EEPROM backup size must be at least 16 times the
EEPROM partition size in FlexRAM.
4. EEPROM split factor (EEESPLIT) — The FlexRAM partitioned for EEPROM can
be divided into two subsystems, each backed by half of the partitioned EEPROM
backup. One subsystem (A) is 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 of the partitioned FlexRAM with the
remainder belonging to the other subsystem (B).

Functional Description

The partition information (EEESIZE, DEPART, EEESPLIT) is stored in the data flash
IFR and is programmed using the Program Partition command (see Program Partition
command). Typically, the Program Partition command is executed only once in the
lifetime of the device.
Data flash memory is useful for applications that need to quickly store large amounts of
data or store data that is static. The EEPROM partition in FlexRAM is useful for storing
smaller amounts of data that will be changed often. The EEPROM partition in FlexRAM
can be further sub-divided to provide subsystems, each backed by the same amount of
EEPROM backup with subsytem A having higher endurance if the split factor is 1/8 or
1/4.

29.4.3.3 EEPROM implementation overview
Out of reset with the FSTAT[CCIF] bit clear, the partition settings (EEESIZE, DEPART,
EEESPLIT) are read from the data flash IFR and the EEPROM file system is initialized
accordingly. The EEPROM file system locates all valid EEPROM data records in
EEPROM backup and copies the newest data to FlexRAM. The FSTAT[CCIF] and
FCNFG[EEERDY] bits are set after data from all valid EEPROM data records is copied
to the FlexRAM. After the CCIF bit is set, the FlexRAM is available for read or write
access.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
682

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 29 Flash Memory Module (FTFE)

When configured for EEPROM use, writes to an unprotected location in FlexRAM
invokes the EEPROM file system to program a new EEPROM data record in the
EEPROM backup memory in a round-robin fashion. As needed, the EEPROM file
system identifies the EEPROM backup sector that is being erased for future use and
partially erases that EEPROM backup sector. After a write to the FlexRAM, the
FlexRAM is not accessible until the FSTAT[CCIF] bit is set. The FCNFG[EEERDY] bit
will also be set. If enabled, the interrupt associated with the FSTAT[CCIF] bit can be
used to determine when the FlexRAM is available for read or write access.
After a sector in EEPROM backup is full of EEPROM data records, EEPROM data
records from the sector holding the oldest data are gradually copied over to a previouslyerased EEPROM backup sector. When the sector copy completes, the EEPROM backup
sector holding the oldest data is tagged for erase.

29.4.3.4 Write endurance to FlexRAM for EEPROM
When the FlexNVM partition code is not set to full data flash, the EEPROM data set size
can be set to any of several non-zero values.
The bytes not assigned to data flash via the FlexNVM partition code are used by the
FTFE to obtain an effective endurance increase for the EEPROM data. The built-in
EEPROM record management system raises the number of program/erase cycles that can
be attained prior to device wear-out by cycling the EEPROM data through a larger
EEPROM NVM storage space.
While different partitions of the FlexNVM are available, the intention is that a single
choice for the FlexNVM partition code and EEPROM data set size is used throughout the
entire lifetime of a given application. The EEPROM endurance equation and graph
shown below assume that only one configuration is ever used.

Note
Vector addresses and their relative interrupt priority are
determined at the MCU level.

29.4.5 Flash Operation in Low-Power Modes
29.4.5.1 Wait Mode
When the MCU enters wait mode, the FTFE module is not affected. The FTFE module
can recover the MCU from wait via the command complete interrupt (see Interrupts).

29.4.5.2 Stop Mode
When the MCU requests stop mode, if an FTFE command is active (CCIF = 0) the
command execution completes before the MCU is allowed to enter stop mode.
CAUTION
The MCU should never enter stop mode while any FTFE
command is running (CCIF = 0).
NOTE
While the MCU is in very-low-power modes (VLPR, VLPW,
VLPS), the FTFE module does not accept flash commands.

29.4.6 Functional modes of operation
The FTFE module has two operating modes: NVM Normal and NVM Special. The
operating mode affects the command set availability (see Table 29-31). Refer to the Chip
Configuration details of this device for how to activate each mode.

29.4.7 Flash memory reads and ignored writes
The FTFE module requires only the flash address to execute a flash memory read. MCU
read access is available to all flash memory.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

685

Functional Description

The MCU must not read from the flash memory while commands are running (as
evidenced by CCIF=0) on that block. Read data cannot be guaranteed from a flash block
while any command is processing within that block. The block arbitration logic detects
any simultaneous access and reports this as a read collision error (see the
FSTAT[RDCOLERR] bit).

29.4.8 Read while write (RWW)
The following simultaneous accesses are allowed for devices with FlexNVM:
• The user may read from the program flash memory while commands (typically
program and erase operations) are active in the data flash and FlexRAM memory
space.
• The user may read from one program flash memory space while commands are
active in another program flash memory space.
• The MCU can fetch instructions from program flash during both data flash program
and erase operations and while EEPROM-backup is maintained by the EEPROM
commands.
• Conversely, the user may read from data flash and FlexRAM while program and
erase commands are executing on the program flash.
• The user may also read from one data flash memory space while commands other
than Program Partition are active in the other data flash memory space.
• When configured as traditional RAM, writes to the FlexRAM are allowed during
data flash operations.
Simultaneous data flash operations and FlexRAM writes, when FlexRAM is used for
EEE, are not possible.
The following simultaneous accesses are allowed for devices with program flash only:
• The user may read from one program flash memory space while commands are
active in the other program flash memory space.
Simultaneous operations are further discussed in Allowed simultaneous flash operations.

29.4.9 Flash Program and Erase
All flash functions except read require the user to setup and launch an FTFE command
through a series of peripheral bus writes. The user cannot initiate any further FTFE
commands until notified that the current command has completed. The FTFE command
structure and operation are detailed in FTFE Command Operations.

29.4.10 FTFE Command Operations
FTFE command operations are typically used to modify flash memory contents. The next
sections describe:
• The command write sequence used to set FTFE command parameters and launch
execution
• A description of all FTFE commands available

29.4.10.1 Command Write Sequence
FTFE commands are specified using a command write sequence illustrated in Figure
29-34. The FTFE module performs various checks on the command (FCCOB) content
and continues with command execution if all requirements are fulfilled.
Before launching a command, the ACCERR and FPVIOL bits in the FSTAT register
must be zero and the CCIF flag must read 1 to verify that any previous command has
completed. If CCIF is zero, the previous command execution is still active, a new
command write sequence cannot be started, and all writes to the FCCOB registers are
ignored.
Attempts to launch an FTFE command in VLP mode will be ignored.
29.4.10.1.1

Load the FCCOB Registers

The user must load the FCCOB registers with all parameters required by the desired
FTFE command. The individual registers that make up the FCCOB data set can be
written in any order.
29.4.10.1.2

Launch the Command by Clearing CCIF

Once all relevant command parameters have been loaded, the user launches the command
by clearing the FSTAT[CCIF] bit by writing a '1' to it. The CCIF flag remains zero until
the FTFE command completes.
The FSTAT register contains a blocking mechanism, which prevents a new command
from launching (can't clear CCIF) if the previous command resulted in an access error
(FSTAT[ACCERR]=1) or a protection violation (FSTAT[FPVIOL]=1). In error
scenarios, two writes to FSTAT are required to initiate the next command: the first write
clears the error flags, the second write clears CCIF.

687

Functional Description

29.4.10.1.3

Command Execution and Error Reporting

The command processing has several steps:
1. The FTFE reads the command code and performs a series of parameter checks and
protection checks, if applicable, which are unique to each command.
If the parameter check fails, the FSTAT[ACCERR] (access error) flag is set.
ACCERR reports invalid instruction codes and out-of bounds addresses. Usually,
access errors suggest that the command was not set-up with valid parameters in the
FCCOB register group.
Program and erase commands also check the address to determine if the operation is
requested to execute on protected areas. If the protection check fails, the
FSTAT[FPVIOL] (protection error) flag is set.
Command processing never proceeds to execution when the parameter or protection
step fails. Instead, command processing is terminated after setting the FSTAT[CCIF]
bit.
2. If the parameter and protection checks pass, the command proceeds to execution.
Run-time errors, such as failure to erase verify, may occur during the execution
phase. Run-time errors are reported in the FSTAT[MGSTAT0] bit. A command may
have access errors, protection errors, and run-time errors, but the run-time errors are
not seen until all access and protection errors have been corrected.
3. Command execution results, if applicalbe, are reported back to the user via the
FCCOB and FSTAT registers.
4. The FTFE sets the FSTAT[CCIF] bit signifying that the command has completed.
The flow for a generic command write sequence is illustrated in the following figure.

29.4.10.4 Allowed simultaneous flash operations
Only the operations marked 'OK' in the following table are permitted to run
simultaneously on the program flash, data flash, and FlexRAM memories. Some
operations cannot be executed simultaneously because certain hardware resources are
shared by the memories. The priority has been placed on permitting program flash reads
while program and erase operations execute on the FlexNVM and FlexRAM. This
provides read (program flash) while write (FlexNVM, FlexRAM) functionality.

29.4.11 Margin Read Commands
The Read-1s commands (Read 1s All Blocks, Read 1s Block, and Read 1s Section) and
the Program Check command have a margin choice parameter that allows the user to
apply non-standard read reference levels to the program flash and data flash array reads
performed by these commands. Using the preset 'user' and 'factory' margin levels, these
commands perform their associated read operations at tighter tolerances than a 'normal'
read. These non-standard read levels are applied only during the command execution. All
simple (uncommanded) flash array reads to the MCU always use the standard, unmargined, read reference level.
Only the 'normal' read level should be employed during normal flash usage. The nonstandard, 'user' and 'factory' margin levels should be employed only in special cases.
They can be used during special diagnostic routines to gain confidence that the device is
not suffering from the end-of-life data loss customary of flash memory devices.
Erased ('1') and programmed ('0') bit states can degrade due to elapsed time and data
cycling (number of times a bit is erased and re-programmed). The lifetime of the erased
states is relative to the last erase operation. The lifetime of the programmed states is
measured from the last program time.
The 'user' and 'factory' levels become, in effect, a minimum safety margin; i.e. if the reads
pass at the tighter tolerances of the 'user' and 'factory' margins, then the 'normal' reads
have at least this much safety margin before they experience data loss.
The 'user' margin is a small delta to the normal read reference level. 'User' margin levels
can be employed to check that flash memory contents have adequate margin for normal
level read operations. If unexpected read results are encountered when checking flash
memory contents at the 'user' margin levels, loss of information might soon occur during
'normal' readout.

Functional Description

The 'factory' margin is a bigger deviation from the norm, a more stringent read criteria
that should only be attempted immediately (or very soon) after completion of an erase or
program command, early in the cycling life. 'Factory' margin levels can be used to check
that flash memory contents have adequate margin for long-term data retention at the
normal level setting. If unexpected results are encountered when checking flash memory
contents at 'factory' margin levels, the flash memory contents should be erased and
reprogrammed.
CAUTION
Factory margin levels must only be used during verify of the
initial factory programming.

29.4.12 Flash command descriptions
This section describes all flash commands that can be launched by a command write
sequence. The FTFE sets the FSTAT[ACCERR] bit and aborts the command execution if
any of the following illegal conditions occur:
• There is an unrecognized command code in the FCCOB FCMD field.
• There is an error in a FCCOB field for the specific commands. Refer to the error
handling table provided for each command.
Ensure that the ACCERR and FPVIOL bits in the FSTAT register are cleared prior to
starting the command write sequence. As described in Launch the Command by Clearing
CCIF, a new command cannot be launched while these error flags are set.
Do not attempt to read a flash block while the FTFE is running a command (CCIF = 0)
on that same block. The FTFE may return invalid data to the MCU with the collision
error flag (FSTAT[RDCOLERR]) set.
When required by the command, address bit 23 selects between:
• program flash memory (=0)
• data flash memory (=1)
CAUTION
Flash data must be in the erased state before being
programmed. Cumulative programming of bits (adding more
zeros) is not allowed.

targeted, DEPART must be set for no EEPROM (see Table 29-4) else the Erase Flash
Block command aborts setting the FSTAT[ACCERR] bit. The Erase Flash Block
command aborts and sets the FSTAT[FPVIOL] bit if any region within the block is
protected (see the description of the program flash protection (FPROT) registers and the
data flash protection (FDPROT) registers). If the swap system is enabled, the swap
indicator address is implicitly protected from block erase unless the swap system is in the
UPDATE or UPDATE-ERASED state and the program flash block being erased is the
non-active block that contains the swap indicator address. If the erase verify fails, the

Suspending an Erase Flash Sector Operation

To suspend an Erase Flash Sector operation set the FCNFG[ERSSUSP] bit (see Flash
configuration field description) when CCIF is clear and the CCOB command field holds
the code for the Erase Flash Sector command. During the Erase Flash Sector operation
(see Erase Flash Sector command), the flash samples the state of the ERSSUSP bit at
convenient points. If the FTFE detects that the ERSSUSP bit is set, the Erase Flash
Sector operation is suspended and the FTFE sets CCIF. While ERSSUSP is set, all writes
to flash registers are ignored except for writes to the FSTAT and FCNFG registers.
If an Erase Flash Sector operation effectively completes before the FTFE detects that a
suspend request has been made, the FTFE clears the ERSSUSP bit prior to setting CCIF.
When an Erase Flash Sector operation has been successfully suspended, the FTFE sets
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
704

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 29 Flash Memory Module (FTFE)

CCIF and leaves the ERSSUSP bit set. While CCIF is set, the ERSSUSP bit can only be
cleared to prevent the withdrawal of a suspend request before the FTFE has
acknowledged it.
29.4.12.7.2

Resuming a Suspended Erase Flash Sector Operation

If the ERSSUSP bit is still set when CCIF is cleared to launch the next command, the
previous Erase Flash Sector operation resumes. The FTFE acknowledges the request to
resume a suspended operation by clearing the ERSSUSP bit. A new suspend request can
then be made by setting ERSSUSP. A single Erase Flash Sector operation can be
suspended and resumed multiple times.
There is a minimum elapsed time limit between the request to resume the Erase Flash
Sector operation (CCIF is cleared) and the request to suspend the operation again
(ERSSUSP is set). This minimum time period is required to ensure that the Erase Flash
Sector operation will eventually complete. If the minimum period is continually violated,
i.e. the suspend requests come repeatedly and too quickly, no forward progress is made
by the Erase Flash Sector algorithm. The resume/suspend sequence runs indefinitely
without completing the erase.
29.4.12.7.3

Aborting a Suspended Erase Flash Sector Operation

The user may choose to abort a suspended Erase Flash Sector operation by clearing the
ERSSUSP bit prior to clearing CCIF for the next command launch. When a suspended
operation is aborted, the FTFE starts the new command using the new FCCOB contents.
While FCNFG[ERSSUSP] is set, a write to the FlexRAM while FCNFG[EEERDY] is set
clears ERSSUSP and aborts the suspended operation. The FlexRAM write operation is
executed by the FTFE.
Note
Aborting the erase leaves the bitcells in an indeterminate,
partially-erased state. Data in this sector is not reliable until a
new erase command fully completes.
The following figure shows how to suspend and resume the Erase Flash Sector operation.

29.4.12.8 Program Section command
The Program Section operation programs the data found in the section program buffer to
previously erased locations in the flash memory using an embedded algorithm. Data is
preloaded into the section program buffer by writing to the FlexRAM while it is set to
function as traditional RAM (see Flash sector programming).
The section program buffer is limited to the lower quarter of the FlexRAM (byte
addresses 0x0000-0x03FF). Data written to the remainder of the FlexRAM is ignored and
may be overwritten during Program Section command execution.
CAUTION
A flash memory location must be in the erased state before
being programmed. Cumulative programming of bits (back-toback program operations without an intervening erase) within a
flash memory location is not allowed. Re-programming of
existing 0s to 0 is not allowed as this overstresses the device.

double-phrase containing the swap indicator address in each half of the program flash
space is implicitly protected from programming. If the double-phrase containing the swap
indicator address is encountered during the Program Section operation, it will be
bypassed without setting FPVIOL and the contents will not be programmed.

Flash sector programming

The process of programming an entire flash sector using the Program Section command
is as follows:
1. If required, execute the Set FlexRAM Function command to make the FlexRAM
available as traditional RAM and initialize the FlexRAM to all ones.
2. Launch the Erase Flash Sector command to erase the flash sector to be programmed.
3. Beginning with the starting address of the programming acceleration RAM (program
flash only devices) or FlexRAM (FlexNVM devices), sequentially write enough data
to the RAM to fill an entire flash sector. This area of the RAM serves as the section
program buffer.
NOTE
In step 1, the section program buffer was initialized to all
ones, the erased state of the flash memory.
The section program buffer can be written to while the operation launched in step 2
is executing, i.e. while CCIF = 0.
4. Execute the Program Section command to program the contents of the section
program buffer into the selected flash sector.
5. To program additional flash sectors, repeat steps 2 through 4.
6. To restore EEPROM functionality, execute the Set FlexRAM Function command to
make the FlexRAM available for EEPROM.

The Read 1s All Blocks command checks if the program flash blocks, data flash blocks,
EEPROM backup records, and data flash IFR have been erased to the specified read

• sets the read margin for 1s according to Table 29-55,
• checks the contents of the program flash, data flash, EEPROM backup records, and
data flash IFR are in the erased state.
If the FTFE confirms that these memory resources are erased, security is released by
setting the FSEC[SEC] field to the unsecure state. The security byte in the flash
configuration field (see Flash configuration field description) remains unaffected by the
Read 1s All Blocks command. If the read fails, i.e. all flash memory resources are not in
the fully erased state, the FSTAT[MGSTAT0] bit is set.
The EEERDY and RAMRDY bits are clear during the Read 1s All Blocks operation and

29.4.12.10 Read Once Command
The Read Once command provides read access to a reserved 64-byte field located in the
program flash 0 IFR (see Program flash 0 IFR map and Program Once field). Access to
the Program Once field is via 8 records, each 8 bytes long. The Program Once field is
programmed using the Program Once command described in Program Once command.

After clearing CCIF to launch the Read Once command, an 8-byte Program Once record
is read from the program flash IFR and stored in the FCCOB register. The CCIF flag is
set after the Read Once operation completes. Valid record index values for the Read
Once command range from 0x00 to 0x07. During execution of the Read Once command,
any attempt to read addresses within the program flash block containing this 64-byte field
returns invalid data. The Read Once command can be executed any number of times.

29.4.12.12 Erase All Blocks Command
The Erase All Blocks operation erases all flash memory, initializes the FlexRAM, verifies

After clearing CCIF to launch the Erase All Blocks command, the FTFE erases all
program flash memory, program flash swap IFR space, data flash memory, data flash IFR
space, EEPROM backup memory, and FlexRAM, then verifies that all are erased.
If the FTFE verifies that all flash memories and the FlexRAM were properly erased,
security is released by setting the FSEC[SEC] field to the unsecure state and the
FCNFG[RAMRDY] bit is set. The Erase All Blocks command aborts if any flash or
FlexRAM region is protected. The swap indicator address in the program flash blocks are
not implicitly protected from the erase operation. The security byte and all other contents
of the flash configuration field (see Flash configuration field description) are erased by
the Erase All Blocks command. If the erase-verify fails, the FSTAT[MGSTAT0] bit is
set. The CCIF flag is set after the Erase All Blocks operation completes.

Triggering an erase all external to the flash module

The functionality of the Erase All Blocks command is also available in an uncommanded
fashion outside of the flash memory. Refer to the device's Chip Configuration details for
information on this functionality.
Before invoking the external erase all function, the FCCOB0 register must not contain
0x44. When invoked, the erase-all function erases all program flash memory, program
flash swap IFR space, data flash memory, data flash IFR space, EEPROM backup, and
FlexRAM regardless of the state of the FSTAT[ACCERR and FPVIOL] flags or the
protection settings or the state of the flash swap system. If the post-erase verify passes,
the routine releases security by setting the FSEC[SEC] field register to the unsecure state
and the FCNFG[RAMRDY] bit sets. The security byte in the Flash Configuration Field is

also programmed to the unsecure state. The status of the erase-all request is reflected in
the FCNFG[ERSAREQ] bit. The FCNFG[ERSAREQ] bit is cleared once the operation
completes and the normal FSTAT error reporting is available as described in Erase All
Blocks Command.
CAUTION
Since the IFR Swap Field in the program flash swap IFR
containing the swap indicator address is erased during the Erase
All Blocks command operation, the swap system becomes
uninitialized. The Swap Control command must be run with the
initialization code to set the swap indicator address and
initialize the swap system.

29.4.12.13 Verify Backdoor Access Key command
The Verify Backdoor Access Key command only executes if the mode and security
conditions are satisfied (see Flash commands by mode). Execution of the Verify
Backdoor Access Key command is further qualified by the FSEC[KEYEN] bits. The
Verify Backdoor Access Key command releases security if user-supplied keys in the
FCCOB match those stored in the Backdoor Comparison Key bytes of the Flash
Configuration Field. The column labeled Flash Configuration Field offset address shows
the location of the matching byte in the Flash Configuration Field.

Upon clearing CCIF to launch the Swap Control command, the FTFE will handle swaprelated activities based on the Swap Control code provided in FCCOB4 as follows:
• 0x01 (Initialize Swap System to UPDATE-ERASED State) - After verifying that the
current swap state is UNINITIALIZED, and that both phrases which will contain the
swap indicators (located in each half of the Program flash memory within the relative
double-phrase flash address provided) are erased, and that the flash address provided
is in the lower half of Program flash memory but not in the Flash Configuration
Field, the flash address provided (shifted with bits[3:0] removed) will be
programmed into the IFR Swap Field found in the program flash swap IFR. After the
swap indicator address has been programmed into the IFR Swap Field, the swap
enable word will be programmed to 0x0000. After the swap enable word has been
programmed, the swap indicator located in the lower half of the Program flash
memory will be programmed to 0xFF00.
• 0x02 (Progress Swap to UPDATE State) - After verifying that the current swap state
is READY and that the aligned flash address provided matches the one stored in the

Functional Description

IFR Swap Field, the swap indicator located in the currently active program flash
block will be programmed to 0xFF00.
• 0x04 (Progress Swap to COMPLETE State) - After verifying that the current swap
state is UPDATE-ERASED and that the aligned flash address provided matches the
one stored in the IFR Swap Field, the swap indicator located in the currently active
program flash block will be programmed to 0x0000. Before executing with this Swap
Control code, the user must erase the non-active swap indicator using the Erase Flash
Block or Erase Flash Sector commands and update the application code or data as
needed. The non-active swap indicator will be checked at the erase verify level and if
the check fails, the current swap state will be changed to UPDATE with ACCERR
set.
• 0x08 (Report Swap Status) - After verifying that the aligned flash address provided is
in the lower half of Program flash memory but not in the Flash Configuration Field,
the status of the swap system will be reported as follows:
• FCCOB5 (Current Swap State) - indicates the current swap state based on the
status of the swap enable word and the swap indicators. If the MGSTAT0 flag is
set after command completion, the swap state returned was not successfully
transitioned from and the appropriate swap command code must be attempted
again. If the current swap state is UPDATE and the non-active swap indicator is
0xFFFF, the current swap state is changed to UPDATE-ERASED.
• FCCOB6 (Current Swap Block Status) - indicates which program flash block is
currently located at relative flash address 0x0_0000.
• FCCOB7 (Next Swap Block Status) - indicates which program flash block will
be located at relative flash address 0x0_0000 after the next reset of the FTFE
module.
• 0x10 (Disable Swap System) - After verifying that the current swap state is
UNINITIALIZED, the swap disable word, located in the IFR Swap Field, is
programmed to 0x0000 and the swap system changed to the DISABLED state with
Program flash block 0 located at relative flash address 0x0_0000.
NOTE
It is recommended that the user execute the Swap Control
command to report swap status (code 0x08) after any reset to
determine if issues with the swap system were detected during
the swap state determination procedure.
NOTE
It is recommended that the user write 0xFF to FCCOB5,
FCCOB6, and FCCOB7 since the Swap Control command will
not always return the swap state and status fields when an
ACCERR is detected.
The CCIF flag is set after the Swap Control operation has completed.

After clearing CCIF to launch the Program Partition command, the FTFE first verifies
that the EEPROM Data Set Size Code and FlexNVM Partition Code in the data flash IFR
are erased. If erased, the Program Partition command erases the contents of the FlexNVM
memory. If the FlexNVM is to be partitioned for EEPROM backup, the allocated
EEPROM backup sectors are formatted for EEPROM use. Finally, the partition codes are
programmed into the data flash IFR using the values provided. The Program Partition
command also verifies that the partition codes read back correctly after programming. If
the FlexNVM is partitioned for EEPROM, the allocated EEPROM backup sectors are
formatted for EEPROM use. The CCIF flag is set after the Program Partition operation
completes.
Prior to launching the Program Partition command, the data flash IFR must be in an
erased state, which can be accomplished by executing the Erase All Blocks command or
by an external request (see Erase All Blocks Command). The EEPROM Data Set Size
Code and FlexNVM Partition Code are read using the Read Resource command (see
Read Resource Command).

29.4.12.16 Set FlexRAM Function command
The Set FlexRAM Function command changes the function of the FlexRAM:
• When not partitioned for EEPROM, the FlexRAM is typically used as traditional
RAM.
• When partitioned for EEPROM, the FlexRAM is typically used to store EEPROM
data.

After clearing CCIF to launch the Set FlexRAM Function command, the FTFE sets the

When making the FlexRAM available as traditional RAM, the FTFE clears the
FCNFG[EEERDY] and FCNFG[RAMRDY] flags, overwrites the contents of the entire
FlexRAM with a background pattern of all ones, and sets the FCNFG[RAMRDY] flag.
The state of the EPROT register does not prevent the FlexRAM from being overwritten.
When the FlexRAM is set to function as a RAM, normal read and write accesses to the
FlexRAM are available. When large sections of flash memory need to be programmed,
e.g. during factory programming, the FlexRAM can be used as the Section Program
Buffer for the Program Section command (see Program Section command).

29.4.13 Security
The FTFE module provides security information to the MCU based on contents of the
FSEC security register. The MCU then limits access to FTFE resources as defined in the
device's Chip Configuration details. During reset, the FTFE module initializes the FSEC
register using data read from the security byte of the Flash Configuration Field (see Flash
configuration field description).
The following fields are available in the FSEC register. Details of the settings are
described in the FSEC register description.

29.4.13.2 Changing the Security State
The security state out of reset can be permanently changed by programming the security
byte of the flash configuration field. This assumes that you are starting from a mode
where the necessary program flash erase and program commands are available and that
the region of the program flash containing the flash configuration field is unprotected. If
the flash security byte is successfully programmed, its new value takes affect after the
next MCU reset.
29.4.13.2.1

Unsecuring the MCU Using Backdoor Key Access

The MCU can be unsecured by using the backdoor key access feature which requires
knowledge of the contents of the 8-byte backdoor key value stored in the Flash
Configuration Field (see Flash configuration field description). If the FSEC[KEYEN] bits
are in the enabled state, the Verify Backdoor Access Key command (see Verify Backdoor
Access Key command) can be run which allows the user to present prospective keys for
comparison to the stored keys. If the keys match, the FSEC[SEC] bits are changed to
unsecure the MCU. The entire 8-byte key cannot be all 0s or all 1s, i.e.
0x0000_0000_0000_0000 and 0xFFFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF are not accepted by the
Verify Backdoor Access Key command as valid comparison values. While the Verify
Backdoor Access Key command is active, program flash memory is not available for read
access and returns invalid data.
The user code stored in the program flash memory must have a method of receiving the
backdoor keys from an external stimulus. This external stimulus would typically be
through one of the on-chip serial ports.
If the KEYEN bits are in the enabled state, the MCU can be unsecured by the backdoor
key access sequence described below:
1. Follow the command sequence for the Verify Backdoor Access Key command as
explained in Verify Backdoor Access Key command

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

725

Functional Description

2. If the Verify Backdoor Access Key command is successful, the MCU is unsecured
and the FSEC[SEC] bits are forced to the unsecure state
An illegal key provided to the Verify Backdoor Access Key command prohibits future
use of the Verify Backdoor Access Key command. A reset of the MCU is the only
method to re-enable the Verify Backdoor Access Key command when a comparison fails.
After the backdoor keys have been correctly matched, the MCU is unsecured by changing
the FSEC[SEC] bits. A successful execution of the Verify Backdoor Access Key
command changes the security in the FSEC register only. It does not alter the security
byte or the keys stored in the Flash Configuration Field (Flash configuration field
description). After the next reset of the MCU, the security state of the FTFE module
reverts back to the Flash security byte in the Flash Configuration Field. The Verify
Backdoor Access Key command sequence has no effect on the program and erase
protections defined in the program flash protection registers.
If the backdoor keys successfully match, the unsecured MCU has full control of the
contents of the Flash Configuration Field. The MCU may erase the sector containing the
Flash Configuration Field and reprogram the flash security byte to the unsecure state and
change the backdoor keys to any desired value.

29.4.14 Reset Sequence
On each system reset the FTFE module executes a sequence which establishes initial
values for the flash block configuration parameters, FPROT, FDPROT, FEPROT, FOPT,
and FSEC registers and the FCNFG[SWAP, PFLSH, RAMRDY, EEERDY] bits.
CCIF is cleared throughout the reset sequence. The FTFE module holds off all CPU
access for a portion of the reset sequence. Flash reads are possible when the hold is
removed. Completion of the reset sequence is marked by setting CCIF which enables
flash user commands.
If a reset occurs while any FTFE command is in progress, that command is immediately
aborted. The state of the word being programmed or the sector/block being erased is not
guaranteed. Commands and operations do not automatically resume after exiting reset.

EzPort
30.1 Overview
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The EzPort module is a serial flash programming interface that enables In-System
Programming (ISP) of flash memory contents in a 32-bit general-purpose
microcontroller. Memory contents can be read/erased/programmed from an external
source, in a format that is compatible with many standalone flash memory chips, without
requiring the removal of the microcontroller from the system board.

30.1.2 Features
EzPort includes the following features:
• Serial interface that is compatible with a subset of the SPI format.
• Ability to read, erase, and program flash memory.
• Ability to reset the microcontroller, allowing it to boot from the flash memory after
the memory has been configured.

30.1.3 Modes of operation
The EzPort can operate in one of two modes, enabled or disabled.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
728

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 30 EzPort

• Enabled — When enabled, the EzPort steals access to the flash memory, preventing
access from other cores or peripherals. The rest of the microcontroller is disabled to
avoid conflicts. The flash is configured for NVM Special mode.
• Disabled — When the EzPort is disabled, the rest of the microcontroller can access
flash memory as normal.
The EzPort provides a simple interface to connect an external device to the flash memory
on board a 32 bit microcontroller. The interface itself is compatible with the SPI
interface, with the EzPort operating as a slave, running in either of the two following
modes. The data is transmitted with the most significant bit first.
• CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0
• CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1
Commands are issued by the external device to erase, program, or read the contents of the
flash memory. The serial data out from the EzPort is tri-stated unless data is being driven.
This allows the signal to be shared among several different EzPort (or compatible)
devices in parallel, as long as they have different chip-selects.

30.2 External signal descriptions

30.2.1 EzPort Clock (EZP_CK)
EZP_CK is the serial clock for data transfers. The serial data in (EZP_D) and chip select
(EZP_CS) are registered on the rising edge of EZP_CK, while serial data out (EZP_Q) is
driven on the falling edge of EZP_CK.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

729

Command definition

The maximum frequency of the EzPort clock is half the system clock frequency for all
commands, except when executing the Read Data or Read FlexRAM commands. When
executing the Read Data or Read FlexRAM commands, the EzPort clock has a maximum
frequency of 1/8 the system clock frequency.

30.2.2 EzPort Chip Select (EZP_CS)
EZP_CS is the chip select for signaling the start and end of serial transfers. While
EZP_CS is asserted, if the microcontroller's reset out signal is negated, then EzPort is
enabled out of reset; otherwise EzPort is disabled. After EzPort is enabled, asserting
EZP_CS starts a serial data transfer, which continues until EZP_CS is negated again. The
negation of EZP_CS indicates that the current command has finished and resets the
EzPort state machine, so that EzPort is ready to receive the next command.

30.2.3 EzPort Serial Data In (EZP_D)
EZP_D is the serial data in for data transfers. EZP_D is registered on the rising edge of
EZP_CK. All commands, addresses, and data are shifted in most significant bit first.
When the EzPort is driving output data on EZP_Q, the data shifted in EZP_D is ignored.

30.2.4 EzPort Serial Data Out (EZP_Q)
EZP_Q is the serial data out for data transfers. EZP_Q is driven on the falling edge of
EZP_CK. It is tri-stated unless EZP_CS is asserted and the EzPort is driving data out. All
data is shifted out most significant bit first.

30.3 Command definition
The EzPort receives commands from an external device and translates the commands into

This section describes the module commands.

30.3.1.1 Write Enable
The Write Enable (WREN) command sets the write enable register field in the EzPort
status register. The write enable field must be set for a write command (SP, SE, BE,
WRFCCOB, or WRFLEXRAM) to be accepted. The write enable register field clears on
reset, on a Write Disable command, and at the completion of write command. This
command must not be used if a write is already in progress.

30.3.1.2 Write Disable
The Write Disable (WRDI) command clears the write enable register field in the status
register. This command must not be used if a write is already in progress.

30.3.1.4 Read Data
The Read Data (READ) command returns data from the flash memory or FlexNVM,
depending on the initial address specified in the command word. The initial address must
be 32-bit aligned with the two LSBs being zero.
Data continues being returned for as long as the EzPort chip select (EZP_CS) is asserted,
with the address automatically incrementing. In this way, the entire contents of flash can
be returned by one command. Attempts to read from an address which does not fall
within the valid address range for the flash memory regions returns unknown data. See
Flash memory map for EzPort access.
For this command to return the correct data, the EzPort clock (EZP_CK) must run at the
internal system clock divided by eight or slower. This command is not accepted if the
WEF, WIP, or FS field in the EzPort status register is set.

30.3.1.5 Read Data at High Speed
The Read Data at High Speed (FAST_READ) command is identical to the READ
command, except for the inclusion of a dummy byte following the address bytes and
before the first data byte is returned.
This command can be run with an EzPort clock (EZP_CK) frequency of half the internal
system clock frequency of the microcontroller or slower. This command is not accepted if
the WEF, WIP, or FS field in the EzPort status register is set.

Command definition

30.3.1.6 Section Program
The Section Program (SP) command programs up to one section of flash memory that has
previously been erased. Please see the Flash Memory chapter for a definition of section
size. The starting address of the memory to program is sent after the command word and
must be a 128-bit aligned address with the four LSBs being zero.
As data is shifted in, the EzPort buffers the data in FlexRAM before executing an SP
command within the flash . For this reason, the number of bytes to be programmed must
be a multiple of 16 and up to one flash section can be programmed at a time. For more
details, see the Flash Block Guide.
Attempts to program more than one section, across a sector boundary or from an initial
address which does not fall within the valid address range for the flash causes the WEF
flag to set. See Flash memory map for EzPort access.
This command requires the FlexRAM to be configured for traditional RAM operation.
By default, after entering EzPort mode, the FlexRAM is configured for traditional RAM
operation. If the user reconfigures FlexRAM for EEPROM operation, then the user
should use the WRFCCOB command to configure FlexRAM back to traditional RAM
operation before issuing an SP command. See the Flash Memory chapter for details on
how the FlexRAM function is modified.
This command is not accepted if the WEF, WIP, FLEXRAM, or FS field is set or if the
WEN field is not set in the EzPort status register.

30.3.1.7 Sector Erase
The Sector Erase (SE) command erases the contents of one sector of flash memory. The
three byte address sent after the command byte can be any address within the sector to
erase, but must be a 128-bit aligned address (the four LSBs must be zero). Attempts to
erase from an initial address which does not fall within the valid address range (see Flash
memory map for EzPort access) for the flash results in the WEF flag being set.
This command is not accepted if the WEF, WIP or FS field is set or if the WEN field is
not set in the EzPort status register.

30.3.1.8 Bulk Erase
The Bulk Erase (BE) command erases the entire contents of flash memory, ignoring any
protected sectors or flash security. Flash security is disabled upon successful completion
of the BE command.
Attempts to issue a BE command while the BEDIS and FS fields are set results in the
WEF flag being set in the EzPort status register. Also, this command is not accepted if
the WEF or WIP field is set or if the WEN field is not set in the EzPort status register.

30.3.1.9 EzPort Reset Chip
The Reset Chip (RESET) command forces the chip into the reset state. If the EzPort chip
select (EZP_CS) pin is asserted at the end of the reset period, EzPort is enabled;
otherwise, it is disabled. This command allows the chip to boot up from flash memory
after being programmed by an external source.
This command is not accepted if the WIP field is set in the EzPort status register.

30.3.1.10 Write FCCOB Registers
The Write FCCOB Registers (WRFCCOB) command allows the user to write to the flash
common command object registers and execute any command allowed by the flash.
NOTE
When security is enabled, the flash is configured in NVM
Special mode, restricting the commands that can be executed by
the flash.
After receiving 12 bytes of data, EzPort writes the data to the FCCOB 0-B registers in the
flash and then automatically launches the command within the flash. If greater or less
than 12 bytes of data is received, this command has unexpected results and may result in
the WEF flag being set.
This command is not accepted if the WEF or WIP field is set or if the WEN field is not
set in the EzPort status register.

Command definition

30.3.1.11 Read FCCOB Registers at High Speed
The Read FCCOB Registers at High Speed (FAST_RDFCCOB) command allows the
user to read the contents of the flash common command object registers. After receiving
the command, EzPort waits for one dummy byte of data before returning FCCOB register
data starting at FCCOB 0 and ending with FCCOB B.
This command can be run with an EzPort clock (EZP_CK) frequency half the internal
system clock frequency of the microcontroller or slower. Attempts to read greater than 12
bytes of data returns unknown data. This command is not accepted if the WEF, WIP, or
FS fields in the EzPort status register are 1.

30.3.1.12 Write FlexRAM
The Write FlexRAM (WRFLEXRAM) command allows the user to write four bytes of
data to the FlexRAM. If the FlexRAM is configured for EEPROM operation, the
WRFLEXRAM command can effectively be used to create data records in the EEPROM
flash memory.
By default, after entering EzPort mode, the FlexRAM is configured for traditional RAM
operation and functions as direct RAM. The user can alter the FlexRAM configuration by
using WRFCCOB to execute a Set FlexRAM or Program Partition command within the
flash.
The address of the FlexRAM location to be written is sent after the command word and
must be a 32-bit aligned address (the two LSBs must be zero). Attempts to write an
address which does not fall within the valid address range for the FlexRAM results in the
value of the WEF flag being 1. See Flash memory map for EzPort access for more
information.
After receiving four bytes of data, EzPort writes the data to the FlexRAM. If greater or
less than four bytes of data is received, this command has unexpected results and may
result in the value of the WEF flag being 1.
This command is not accepted if the WEF, WIP or FS fields are 1 or if the WEN field is
0 in the EzPort status register.

30.3.1.13 Read FlexRAM
The Read FlexRAM (RDFLEXRAM) command returns data from the FlexRAM. If the
FlexRAM is configured for EEPROM operation, the RDFLEXRAM command can
effectively be used to read data from EEPROM flash memory.

Chapter 30 EzPort

Data continues being returned for as long as the EzPort chip select (EZP_CS) is asserted,
with the address automatically incrementing. In this way, the entire contents of FlexRAM
can be returned by one command.
The initial address must be 32-bit aligned (the two LSBs must be zero). Attempts to read
from an address which does not fall within the valid address range for the FlexRAM
returns unknown data. See Flash memory map for EzPort access for more information.
For this command to return the correct data, the EzPort clock (EZP_CK) must run at the
internal system clock divided by eight or slower. This command is not accepted if the
WEF, WIP, or FS fields in the EzPort status register are set.

30.3.1.14 Read FlexRAM at High Speed
The Read FlexRAM at High Speed (FAST_RDFLEXRAM) command is identical to the
RDFLEXRAM command, except for the inclusion of a dummy byte following the
address bytes and before the first data byte is returned.
This command can be run with an EzPort clock (EZP_CK) frequency up to and including
half the internal system clock frequency of the microcontroller. This command is not
accepted if the WEF, WIP, or FS fields in the EzPort status register are set.

30.4 Flash memory map for EzPort access
The following table shows the flash memory map for access through EzPort.
NOTE
The flash block address map for access through EzPort may not

External Bus Interface (FlexBus)
31.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
This chapter describes external bus data transfer operations and error conditions. It
describes transfers initiated by the core processor (or any other bus master) and includes
detailed timing diagrams showing the interaction of signals in supported bus operations.

31.1.1 Definition
The FlexBus multifunction external bus interface controller is a hardware module that:
• Provides memory expansion and provides connection to external peripherals with a
parallel bus
• Can be directly connected to the following asynchronous or synchronous slave-only
devices with little or no additional circuitry:
• External ROMs
• Flash memories
• Programmable logic devices
• Other simple target (slave) devices

31.1.2 Features
FlexBus offers the following features:
• Six independent, user-programmable chip-select signals (FB_CS5 –FB_CS0)
• 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit port sizes with configuration for multiplexed or
nonmultiplexed address and data buses
• 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 16-byte transfers
• Programmable burst and burst-inhibited transfers selectable for each chip-select and
transfer direction
• Programmable address-setup time with respect to the assertion of a chip-select
• Programmable address-hold time with respect to the deassertion of a chip-select and
transfer direction
• Extended address latch enable option to assist with glueless connections to
synchronous and asynchronous memory devices

31.2 Signal descriptions
This table describes the external signals involved in data-transfer operations.
NOTE
Not all of the following signals may be available on a particular
device. See the Chip Configuration details for information on
which signals are available.

I/O

Function

FB_A31–FB_A0

O

Address Bus
When FlexBus is used in a nonmultiplexed configuration, this is the address bus. When
FlexBus is used in a multiplexed configuration, this bus is not used.

FB_D31–FB_D0

I/O

Data Bus—During the first cycle, this bus drives the upper address byte, addr[31:24].
When FlexBus is used in a nonmultiplexed configuration, this is the data bus, FB_D.
When FlexBus is used in a multiplexed configuration, this is the address and data bus,
FB_AD.
The number of byte lanes carrying the data is determined by the port size associated
with the matching chip-select.
When FlexBus is used in a multiplexed configuration, the full 32-bit address is driven on
the first clock of a bus cycle (address phase). After the first clock, the data is driven on
the bus (data phase). During the data phase, the address is driven on the pins not used
for data. For example, in 16-bit mode, the lower address is driven on FB_AD15–
FB_AD0, and in 8-bit mode, the lower address is driven on FB_AD23–FB_AD0.

I/O

Function

FB_CS5–FB_CS0

O

General Purpose Chip-Selects—Indicate which external memory or peripheral is
selected. A particular chip-select is asserted when the transfer address is within the
external memory's or peripheral's address space, as defined in CSAR[BA] and
CSMR[BAM].

FB_BE_31_24

O

Byte Enables—Indicate that data is to be latched or driven onto a specific byte lane of
the data bus. CSCR[BEM] determines if these signals are asserted on reads and writes
or on writes only.

FB_BE_23_16
FB_BE_15_8

For external SRAM or flash devices, the FB_BE outputs should be connected to
individual byte strobe signals.

FB_BE_7_0
FB_OE

O

Output Enable—Sent to the external memory or peripheral to enable a read transfer.
This signal is asserted during read accesses only when a chip-select matches the
current address decode.

FB_R/W

O

Read/Write—Indicates whether the current bus operation is a read operation (FB_R/W
high) or a write operation (FB_R/W low).

FB_TS

O

Transfer Start—Indicates that the chip has begun a bus transaction and that the
address and attributes are valid.
An inverted FB_TS is available as an address latch enable (FB_ALE), which indicates
when the address is being driven on the FB_AD bus.
FB_TS/FB_ALE is asserted for one bus clock cycle.
The chip can extend this signal until the first positive clock edge after FB_CS asserts.
See CSCR[EXTS] and Extended Transfer Start/Address Latch Enable.

FB_ALE

O

Address Latch Enable—Indicates when the address is being driven on the FB_A bus
(inverse of FB_TS).

Signal

I/O

Function

FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0

O

Transfer Size—Indicates (along with FB_TBST) the data transfer size of the current
bus operation. The interface supports 8-, 16-, and 32-bit operand transfers and allows
accesses to 8-, 16-, and 32-bit data ports.
• 00b = 4 bytes
• 01b = 1 byte
• 10b = 2 bytes
• 11b = 16 bytes (line)
For misaligned transfers, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 indicate the size of each transfer. For
example, if a 32-bit access through a 32-bit port device occurs at a misaligned offset of
1h, 8 bits are transferred first (FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 01b), 16 bits are transferred
next at offset 2h (FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 10b), and the final 8 bits are transferred at
offset 4h (FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 01b).
For aligned transfers larger than the port size, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 behave as follows:
• If bursting is used, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 are driven to the transfer size.
• If bursting is inhibited, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 first show the entire transfer size
and then show the port size.
For burst-inhibited transfers, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 change with each FB_TS assertion
to reflect the next transfer size.
For transfers to port sizes smaller than the transfer size, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 indicate
the size of the entire transfer on the first access and the size of the current port transfer
on subsequent transfers. For example, for a 32-bit write to an 8-bit port, FB_TSIZ1–
FB_TSIZ0 are 00b for the first transaction and 01b for the next three transactions. If
bursting is used for a 32-bit write to an 8-bit port, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 are driven to
00b for the entire transfer.

FB_TBST

O

Transfer Burst—Indicates that a burst transfer is in progress as driven by the chip. A
burst transfer can be 2 to 16 beats depending on FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 and the port
size.
Note: When a burst transfer is in progress (FB_TBST = 0b), the transfer size is 16
bytes (FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0 = 11b), and the address is misaligned within the
16-byte boundary, the external memory or peripheral must be able to wrap
around the address.

FB_TA

I

Function
Transfer Acknowledge—Indicates that the external data transfer is complete. When
FB_TA is asserted during a read transfer, FlexBus latches the data and then terminates
the transfer. When FB_TA is asserted during a write transfer, the transfer is terminated.
If auto-acknowledge is disabled (CSCR[AA] = 0), the external memory or peripheral
drives FB_TA to terminate the transfer. If auto-acknowledge is enabled (CSCR[AA] =
1), FB_TA is generated internally after a specified number of wait states, or the external
memory or peripheral may assert external FB_TA before the wait-state countdown to
terminate the transfer early. The chip deasserts FB_CS one cycle after the last FB_TA
is asserted. During read transfers, the external memory or peripheral must continue to
drive data until FB_TA is recognized. For write transfers, the chip continues driving
data one clock cycle after FB_CS is deasserted.
The number of wait states is determined by CSCR or the external FB_TA input. If the
external FB_TA is used, the external memory or peripheral has complete control of the
number of wait states.
Note: External memory or peripherals should assert FB_TA only while the FB_CS
signal to the external memory or peripheral is asserted.
The CSPMCR register controls muxing of FB_TA with other signals. If autoacknowledge is not used and CSPMCR does not allow FB_TA control, FlexBus
may hang.

31.3 Memory Map/Register Definition
The following tables describe the registers and bit meanings for configuring chip-select
operation.
The actual number of chip selects available depends upon the device and its pin
configuration. If the device does not support certain chip select signals or the pin is not
configured for a chip-select function, then that corresponding set of chip-select registers
has no effect on an external pin.
Note
You must set CSMR0[V] before the chip select registers take
effect.
A bus error occurs when writing to reserved register locations.

FlexBus supports the following modes of operation:
• Multiplexed 32-bit address and 32-bit data
• Multiplexed 32-bit address and 16-bit data (non-multiplexed 16-bit address and 16bit data)
• Multiplexed 32-bit address and 8-bit data (non-multiplexed 24-bit address and 8-bit

Chapter 31 External Bus Interface (FlexBus)

31.4.2 Address comparison
When a bus cycle is routed to FlexBus, FlexBus compares the transfer address to the base
address (see CSAR[BA]) and base address mask (see CSMR[BAM]). This table
describes how FlexBus decides to assert a chip-select and complete the bus cycle based
on the address comparison.
When the transfer address

Then FlexBus

Matches one address register
configuration

Asserts the appropriate chip-select, generating a FlexBus bus cycle as defined in the
appropriate CSCR.
If CSMR[WP] is set and a write access is performed, FlexBus terminates the internal
bus cycle with a bus error, does not assert a chip-select, and does not perform an
external bus cycle.

Does not match an address register Terminates the transfer with a bus error response, does not assert a chip-select, and
configuration
does not perform a FlexBus cycle.
Matches more than one address
register configuration

Terminates the transfer with a bus error response, does not assert a chip-select, and
does not perform a FlexBus cycle.

31.4.3 Address driven on address bus
FlexBus always drives a 32-bit address on the FB_AD bus regardless of the external
memory's or peripheral's address size.

31.4.4 Connecting address/data lines
The external device must connect its address and data lines as follows:
• Address lines
• FB_AD from FB_AD0 upward
• Data lines
• If CSCR[BLS] = 0, FB_AD from FB_AD31 downward
• If CSCR[BLS] = 1, FB_AD from FB_AD0 upward

31.4.5 Bit ordering
No bit ordering is required when connecting address and data lines to the FB_AD bus.
For example, a full 16-bit address/16-bit data device connects its addr15–addr0 to
FB_AD16–FB_AD1 and data15–data0 to FB_AD31–FB_AD16. See Data-byte
alignment and physical connections for a graphical connection.

Functional description

31.4.6 Data transfer signals
Data transfers between FlexBus and the external memory or peripheral involve these
signals:
• Address/data bus (FB_AD31–FB_AD0 )
• Control signals (FB_TS/FB_ALE, FB_TA, FB_CSn, FB_OE, FB_R/W, FB_BEn)
• Attribute signals (FB_TBST, FB_TSIZ1–FB_TSIZ0)

31.4.7 Signal transitions
These signals change on the rising edge of the FlexBus clock (FB_CLK):
• Address
• Write data
• FB_TS/FB_ALE
• FB_CSn
• All attribute signals
FlexBus latches the read data on the rising edge of the clock.

31.4.8 Data-byte alignment and physical connections
The device aligns data transfers in FlexBus byte lanes with the number of lanes
depending on the data port width.
The following figure shows the byte lanes that external memory or peripheral connects to
and the sequential transfers of a 32-bit transfer for the supported port sizes when byte
lane shift is disabled. For example, an 8-bit memory connects to the single lane
FB_AD31–FB_AD24 (FB_BE_31_24). A 32-bit transfer through this 8-bit port takes
four transfers, starting with the LSB to the MSB. A 32-bit transfer through a 32-bit port
requires one transfer on each four-byte lane.

31.4.9 Address/data bus multiplexing
FlexBus supports a single 32-bit wide multiplexed address and data bus (FB_AD31–
FB_AD0). FlexBus always drives the full 32-bit address on the first clock of a bus cycle.
During the data phase, the FB_AD31– FB_AD0 lines used for data are determined by the
programmed port size and BLS setting for the corresponding chip-select. FlexBus
continues to drive the address on any FB_AD31– FB_AD0 lines not used for data.

Basic data transfers occur in four clocks or states. (See Figure 31-26 and Figure 31-28 for
examples of basic data transfers.) The FlexBus state machine controls the data-transfer
operation. This figure shows the state-transition diagram for basic read and write cycles.

State

Cycle

Description

S0

All

The read or write cycle is initiated. On the rising clock edge, FlexBus:
• Places a valid address on FB_ADn
• Asserts FB_TS/FB_ALE
• Drives FB_R/W high for a read and low for a write

S1

All

FlexBus:
• Negates FB_TS/FB_ALE on the rising edge of FB_CLK
• Asserts FB_CSn
• Drives the data on FB_AD31– FB_ADX for writes
• Tristates FB_AD31– FB_ADX for reads
• Continues to drive the address on FB_AD pins that are unused for data
If the external memory or perihperal asserts FB_TA, then the process moves to S2. If FB_TA is not
asserted internally or externally, then S1 repeats.

S2

S3

Read

The external memory or peripheral drives the data before the next rising edge of FB_CLK (the rising
edge that begins S2) with FB_TA asserted.

All

For internal termination, FlexBus negates FB_CSn and the transfer is complete. For external
termination, the external memory or peripheral negates FB_TA, and FlexBus negates FB_CSn after
the rising edge of FB_CLK at the end of S2.

Read

FlexBus latches the data on the rising clock edge entering S2. The external memory or peripheral
can stop driving the data after this edge or continue to drive the data until the end of S3 or through
any additional address hold cycles.

All

FlexBus invalidates the address, data, and FB_R/W on the rising edge of FB_CLK at the beginning
of S3, terminating the transfer.

31.4.11.4 Timing Variations
The FlexBus module has several features that can change the timing characteristics of a
basic read- or write-bus cycle to provide additional address setup, address hold, and time
for a device to provide or latch data.
31.4.11.4.1

Wait States

Wait states can be inserted before each beat of a transfer by programming the CSCRn
registers. Wait states can give the peripheral or memory more time to return read data or
sample write data.
The following figures show the basic read and write bus cycles (also shown in Figure
31-26 and Figure 31-31) with the default of no wait states respectively.

Address Setup and Hold

The timing of the assertion and negation of the chip selects, byte selects, and output
enable can be programmed on a chip-select basis. Each chip-select can be programmed to
assert one to four clocks after transfer start/address-latch enable (FB_TS/FB_ALE) is
asserted. The following figures show read- and write-bus cycles with two clocks of
address setup respectively.

31.4.12 Burst cycles
The chip can be programmed to initiate burst cycles if its transfer size exceeds the port
size of the selected destination. The initiation of a burst cycle is encoded on the transfer
size pins (FB_TSIZ[1:0]). For burst transfers to smaller port sizes, FB_TSIZ[1:0]
indicates the size of the entire transfer. For example, with bursting enabled, a 16-bit
transfer to an 8-bit port takes two beats (two byte-sized transfers), for which
FB_TSIZ[1:0] equals 10b throughout. A 32-bit transfer to an 8-bit port takes four beats
(four byte-sized transfers), for which FB_TSIZ[1:0] equals 00b throughout.

31.4.12.1 Enabling and inhibiting burst
The CSCRn registers enable bursting for reads, writes, or both.
Memory spaces can be declared burst-inhibited for reads and writes by writing 0b to the
appropriate CSCRn[BSTR] and CSCRn[BSTW] fields.

31.4.12.2 Transfer size and port size translation
With bursting disabled, any transfer larger than the port size breaks into multiple
individual transfers (e.g. ). With
bursting enabled, any transfer larger than the port size results in a burst cycle of multiple
beats (e.g. ). The following table shows the result of such
transfer translations.

Burst enabled: Number of beats

The FlexBus can support X-1-1-1 burst cycles to maximize system performance, where X
is the primary number of wait states (max 63). Delaying termination of the cycle can add
wait states. If internal termination is used, different wait state counters can be used for the
first access and the following beats.

31.4.12.3 32-bit-Read burst from 8-Bit port 2-1-1-1 (no wait states)
The following figure shows a 32-bit read to an 8-bit external chip programmed for burst
enable. The transfer results in a 4-beat burst and the data is driven on FB_AD[31:24].
The transfer size is driven at 32-bit (00b) throughout the bus cycle.
Note
In non-multiplexed address/data mode, the address on FB_A
increments only during internally-terminated burst cycles. The
first address is driven throughout the entire burst for externallyterminated cycles.
In multiplexed address/data mode, the address is driven on
FB_AD only during the first cycle for all terminated cycles.

Note
CSCRn[WS] determines the number of wait states in the first
beat. However, for subsequent beats, the CSCRn[WS] (or
CSCRn[SWS] if CSCRn[SWSEN] = 1b) determines the
number of wait states.

31.4.14 Bus errors
These types of accesses cause a transfer to terminate with a bus error:
•
•
•
•
•
•

A write to a write-protected address range
An access whose address is not in a range covered by a chip-select
An access whose address is in a range covered by more than one chip-selects
A write to a reserved address in the memory map
A write to a reserved field in the CSPMCR
Any FlexBus accesses when FlexBus is secure

If the auto-acknowledge feature is disabled (CSCR[AA] is 0) for an address that
generates an error, the transfer can be terminated by asserting FB_TA. If the processor
must manage a bus error differently, asserting an interrupt to the core along with FB_TA
when the bus error occurs can invoke an interrupt handler.
The device can hang if FlexBus is configured for external termination and the CSPMCR
is not configured for FB_TA.

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
32.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) module generates 16/32-bit CRC code for error
detection.
The CRC module provides a programmable polynomial, WAS, and other parameters
required to implement a 16-bit or 32-bit CRC standard.
The 16/32-bit code is calculated for 32 bits of data at a time.

32.1.1 Features
Features of the CRC module include:
• Hardware CRC generator circuit using a 16-bit or 32-bit programmable shift register
• Programmable initial seed value and polynomial
• Option to transpose input data or output data (the CRC result) bitwise or bytewise.
This option is required for certain CRC standards. A bytewise transpose operation is
not possible when accessing the CRC data register via 8-bit accesses. In this case, the
user's software must perform the bytewise transpose function.
• Option for inversion of final CRC result
• 32-bit CPU register programming interface

32.1.2 Block diagram
The following is a block diagram of the CRC.

Various MCU modes affect the CRC module's functionality.

32.1.3.1 Run mode
This is the basic mode of operation.

32.1.3.2 Low-power modes (Wait or Stop)
Any CRC calculation in progress stops when the MCU enters a low-power mode that
disables the module clock. It resumes after the clock is enabled or via the system reset for
exiting the low-power mode. Clock gating for this module is dependent on the MCU.

Chapter 32 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

32.2.1 CRC Data register (CRC_DATA)
The CRC Data register contains the value of the seed, data, and checksum. When
CTRL[WAS] is set, any write to the data register is regarded as the seed value. When
CTRL[WAS] is cleared, any write to the data register is regarded as data for general CRC
computation.
In 16-bit CRC mode, the HU and HL fields are not used for programming the seed value,
and reads of these fields return an indeterminate value. In 32-bit CRC mode, all fields are
used for programming the seed value.
When programming data values, the values can be written 8 bits, 16 bits, or 32 bits at a
time, provided all bytes are contiguous; with MSB of data value written first.
After all data values are written, the CRC result can be read from this data register. In 16bit CRC mode, the CRC result is available in the LU and LL fields. In 32-bit CRC mode,
all fields contain the result. Reads of this register at any time return the intermediate CRC
value, provided the CRC module is configured.

Functional description

32.3.1 CRC initialization/reinitialization
To enable the CRC calculation, the user must program CRC_CTRL[WAS],
CRC_GPOLY, necessary parameters for transposition and CRC result inversion in the
applicable registers. Asserting CRC_CTRL[WAS] enables the programming of the seed
value into the CRC_DATA register.
After a completed CRC calculation, reasserting CRC_CTRL[WAS] and programming a
seed, whether the value is new or a previously used seed value, reinitialize the CRC
module for a new CRC computation. All other parameters must be set before
programming the seed value and subsequent data values.

32.3.2 CRC calculations
In 16-bit and 32-bit CRC modes, data values can be programmed 8 bits, 16 bits, or 32 bits
at a time, provided all bytes are contiguous. Noncontiguous bytes can lead to an incorrect
CRC computation.

32.3.2.1 16-bit CRC
To compute a 16-bit CRC:
1. Clear CRC_CTRL[TCRC] to enable 16-bit CRC mode.
2. Program the transpose and complement options in the CTRL register as required for
the CRC calculation. See Transpose feature and CRC result complement for details.
3. Write a 16-bit polynomial to the CRC_GPOLY[LOW] field. The
CRC_GPOLY[HIGH] field is not usable in 16-bit CRC mode.
4. Set CRC_CTRL[WAS] to program the seed value.
5. Write a 16-bit seed to CRC_DATA[LU:LL]. CRC_DATA[HU:HL] are not used.
6. Clear CRC_CTRL[WAS] to start writing data values.
7. Write data values into CRC_DATA[HU:HL:LU:LL]. A CRC is computed on every
data value write, and the intermediate CRC result is stored back into
CRC_DATA[LU:LL].
8. When all values have been written, read the final CRC result from
CRC_DATA[LU:LL].
Transpose and complement operations are performed on the fly while reading or writing
values. See Transpose feature and CRC result complement for details.

Chapter 32 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

32.3.2.2 32-bit CRC
To compute a 32-bit CRC:
1. Set CRC_CTRL[TCRC] to enable 32-bit CRC mode.
2. Program the transpose and complement options in the CTRL register as required for
the CRC calculation. See Transpose feature and CRC result complement for details.
3. Write a 32-bit polynomial to CRC_GPOLY[HIGH:LOW].
4. Set CRC_CTRL[WAS] to program the seed value.
5. Write a 32-bit seed to CRC_DATA[HU:HL:LU:LL].
6. Clear CRC_CTRL[WAS] to start writing data values.
7. Write data values into CRC_DATA[HU:HL:LU:LL]. A CRC is computed on every
data value write, and the intermediate CRC result is stored back into
CRC_DATA[HU:HL:LU:LL].
8. When all values have been written, read the final CRC result from
CRC_DATA[HU:HL:LU:LL]. The CRC is calculated bytewise, and two clocks are
required to complete one CRC calculation.
Transpose and complement operations are performed on the fly while reading or writing
values. See Transpose feature and CRC result complement for details.

32.3.3 Transpose feature
By default, the transpose feature is not enabled. However, some CRC standards require
the input data and/or the final checksum to be transposed. The user software has the
option to configure each transpose operation separately, as desired by the CRC standard.
The data is transposed on the fly while being read or written.
Some protocols use little endian format for the data stream to calculate a CRC. In this
case, the transpose feature usefully flips the bits. This transpose option is one of the types
supported by the CRC module.

32.3.3.1 Types of transpose
The CRC module provides several types of transpose functions to flip the bits and/or
bytes, for both writing input data and reading the CRC result, separately using the
CTRL[TOT] or CTRL[TOTR] fields, according to the CRC calculation being used.
The following types of transpose functions are available for writing to and reading from
the CRC data register:
1. CTRL[TOT] or CTRL[TOTR] is 00.

NOTE
For 8-bit and 16-bit write accesses to the CRC data register, the
data is transposed with zeros on the unused byte or bytes
(taking 32 bits as a whole), but the CRC is calculated on the
valid byte(s) only. When reading the CRC data register for a
16-bit CRC result and using transpose options 10 and 11, the
resulting value after transposition resides in the CRC[HU:HL]
fields. The user software must account for this situation when
reading the 16-bit CRC result, so reading 32 bits is preferred.

32.3.4 CRC result complement
When CTRL[FXOR] is set, the checksum is complemented. The CRC result complement
function outputs the complement of the checksum value stored in the CRC data register
every time the CRC data register is read. When CTRL[FXOR] is cleared, reading the
CRC data register accesses the raw checksum value.

(MMCAU)
33.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The Memory-Mapped Cryptographic Acceleration Unit (MMCAU) is a coprocessor that
is connected to the processor's Private Peripheral Bus (PPB). It supports the hardware
implementation of a set of specialized operations to improve the throughput of softwarebased security encryption/decryption operations and message digest functions.
The MMCAU supports acceleration of the DES, 3DES, AES, MD5, SHA-1, and
SHA-256 algorithms. Freecsale provides an optimized, callable C-function library that
provides the appropriate software building blocks to implement higher-level security
functions.

33.3 Overview
As the name suggests, the MMCAU provides a mechanism for memory-mapped register
reads and writes to be transformed into specific commands and operands sent to the CAU
coprocessor.
The MMCAU translator module performs the following functions:
• All the required functions affecting the transmission of commands to the CAU
module.
• If needed, stalling the PPB transactions based on the state of the 4-entry command/
data FIFO.
• Some basic integrity checks on PPB operations.
The set of implemented algorithms provides excellent support for network security
standards, such as SSL and IPsec. Additionally, using the MMCAU efficiently permits
the implementation of any higher level functions or modes of operation, such as HMAC,
CBC, and so on based on the supported algorithms.
The cryptographic algorithms are implemented partially in software with only functions
critical to increasing performance implemented in hardware. The MMCAU allows for
efficient, fine-grained partitioning of functions between hardware and software:

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

797

Features

• Implement the innermost security kernel functions using the coprocessor instructions.
• Implement higher level functions in software by using the standard processor
instructions.
This partitioning of functions is key to minimizing size of the MMCAU while
maintaining a high level of throughput. Using software for some functions also simplifies
the MMCAU design. The CAU implements a set of coprocessor commands that operate
on a register file of 32-bit registers.

33.4 Features
The MMCAU includes the following distinctive features:
• Supports DES, 3DES, AES, MD5, SHA-1 algorithms
• Simple, flexible programming model
• Ability to send up to three commands in one data write operation

33.5 Memory map/Register definition
The CAU contains multiple registers used by each of the supported algorithms. The
following table shows registers that are applicable to each supported algorithm and

The CAU supports only 32-bit operations and register accesses. All registers support
read, write, and ALU operations. However, only bits 1–0 of the CASR are writeable. Bits
31–2 of the CASR must be written as 0 for compatibility with future versions of the
CAU.
The codes listed in this section are used in the memory-mapped commands. For more

33.6 Functional description
This section discusses the programming model and operation of the MMCAU.

33.6.1 MMCAU programming model
The 4-entry FIFO is indirectly mapped into a 4-KB address space associated with the
MMCAU located at byte addresses 0xE008_1000 – 0xE008_1FFF on this device. This
address space is effectively split into two equal regions:
• one used to directly write commands for CAU load operations
• the other used to send commands and input operands for CAU loads
Data writes on the PPB are loaded into this FIFO and automatically converted into CAU
load operands by the MMCAU translator. Data reads on the PPB are converted into CAU
store register operations where the result is returned to the processor as the read data
value.
The CAU requires a 15-bit command, and optionally, a 32-bit input operand, for each
CAU load, PPB write. The 15-bit command includes the 9-bit opcode and other bits
statically formed by the MMCAU translator logic controlling the CAU.
The following figure shows the 4-KB address space and the mapping of the CAU
commands into this space.

Functional description

NOTE
• Although the indirect store/load portion of the address
space in the figure below shows only the indirect load/store
commands, direct load commands can also be used in this
space. However, it is more efficient to use the direct load
portion of the address space.
• Accesses to the reserved space in the direct load space are
terminated with an error, while accesses to the reserved
space in the indirect load/store space are detected as an
illegal CAU command. See MMCAU integrity checks for
details.

Each 9-bit opcode also includes a valid bit. Therefore, one, two, or three commands can
be transmitted in a single 32-bit PPB write. The following figure illustrates the accepted
formats for the 32-bit MMCAU write data value:

33.6.2 MMCAU integrity checks
If an illegal operation or access is attempted, the PPB bus cycle is terminated with an
error response and the operation is aborted and not sent to the CAU.
The MMCAU performs a series of address and data integrity checks as described in the
following sections. The results of these checks are logically summed together and, if
appropriate, a PPB error termination is generated.

33.6.2.1 Address integrity checks
The MMCAU address checking includes the following. See Figure 33-12 for the
MMCAU memory map details.
• Any MMCAU reference using a non-0-modulo-4 byte address (addr[1:0] ≠ 00)
generates an error termination.
• For MMCAU writes:
• Only the first 64 bytes of the 2-KB direct write address space can be referenced.
Attempting to access regions beyond the first 64 bytes terminates with an error.
• The second 2-KB space defines the indirect address-as-command region and any
reference in this space is allowed by the MMCAU.
NOTE
The CAU contains error logic to detect any illegal
command sent to it. Accordingly, there are address
values in this upper 2-KB region of the address space
that are passed to the CAU, and then detected as illegal
commands. If the CAU detects an illegal command, it
sets the CASR[IC] flag and performs no operation.
• For MMCAU reads:
• Any attempted read from the first 2-KB region of the address space (an
attempted direct read) is illegal and produces an error termination.
• Within the second 2-KB region of the address space, i.e., addr[11] = 1, only a
64-byte space is treated as a legal CAU store operation. The allowable addresses
are defined as:
addr[11:0] = 1000_10xx_xx_00
where the 4-bit xxxx value specifies the CAU register number. The CAU
supports a subset of the allowable register numbers, 0x0 - 0xA. Attempting a
store of a reserved register produces an undefined result.

33.6.2.2 Data integrity checks
Direct writes can send 1, 2, or 3 commands to the CAU in a single 32-bit transfer. As
shown in Figure 33-13, the commands include a valid bit located at bits 31, 20, and 9 of
the write data where:
• Bit 31 is the valid bit for the first command
• Bit 20 is the valid bit for the second command
• Bit 9 is the valid bit for the third command
The direct write data check validates the combination of these three valid bits. The
following table presents the three legal states associated with these bits:

All other combinations of bits 31, 20, and 9 are illegal and generate an error termination.

33.6.3 CAU commands
The CAU supports the commands shown in the following table. All other encodings are
reserved. The CASR[IC] bit is set if an undefined command is issued. A specific illegal
command (ILL) is defined to allow software self-checking. Reserved commands must not
be issued so as to ensure compatibility with future implementations.
The CMD field specifies the 9-bit CAU opcode for the operation command.
See Assembler equate values for a set of assembly constants used in the command
descriptions here. If supported by the assembler, macros can also be created for each
instruction. The value CAx should be interpreted as any CAU register (CASR, CAA, and
CAn).

The DESK command performs the initial key transformation, permuted choice 1, defined
by the DES algorithm on CA0 and CA1 with CA0 containing bits 1–32 of the key and
CA1 containing bits 33–64 of the key1 . If the DC bit is set, no shift operation performs
and the values C0 and D0 store back to CA0 and CA1, respectively. The DC bit must be
set for decrypt operations. If the DC bit is not set, a left shift by one also occurs and the
values C1 and D1 store back to CA0 and CA1, respectively. The DC bit should be cleared
for encrypt operations. If the CP bit is set and a key parity error is detected, CASR[DPE]
bit is set; otherwise, it is cleared.

Random Number Generator Accelerator (RNGA)
34.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
This chapter describes the random-number-generator accelerator RNGA, including a
programming model, functional description, and application information. Throughout this
chapter, the terms "RNG" and "RNGA" are meant to be synonymous.

34.1.1 Overview
RNGA is a digital integrated circuit capable of generating 32-bit random numbers. The
random bits are generated using shift registers with clocks derived from two free-running,
independent ring oscillators. The configuration of the shift registers ensures statistically
good data, that is, data that looks random. The oscillators, with their unknown
frequencies and independent phases, provide the means of generating the required
entropy needed to create random data. The random words generated by RNGA are loaded
into an output register (OR). RNGA is designed to generate an error interrupt (if not
masked), if OR is read and does not contain valid random data. OR contains valid
random data if the LVL field in the status register (SR) is 1.
It is important to note there is no known cryptographic proof showing this is a secure
method of generating random data. In fact, there may be an attack against this random
number generator if its output is used directly in a cryptographic application. The attack
is based on the linearity of the internal shift registers. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that this random data produced by this module be used as an entropy
source to provide an input seed to a NIST-approved pseudo-random-number generator
based on DES or SHA-1 and defined in NIST FIPS PUB 186-2 Appendix 3 and NIST
FIPS PUB SP 800-90.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

815

Modes of operation

The requirement is to maximize the entropy of this input seed. In order to do this, when
data is extracted from RNGA as quickly as the hardware allows, there are about one or
two bits of added entropy per 32-bit word. Any single bit of that word contains that
entropy. Therefore, when used as an entropy source, a random number should be
generated for each bit of entropy required, and the least significant bit (any bit would be
equivalent) of each word retained. The remainder of each random number should then be
discarded. Used this way, even with full knowledge of the internal state of RNGA and all
prior random numbers, an attacker is not able to predict the values of the extracted bits.
Other sources of entropy can be used along with RNGA to generate the seed to the
pseudorandom algorithm. The more random sources combined to create the seed, the
better. The following is a list of sources that can be easily combined with the output of
this module:
• Current time using highest precision possible
• Real-time system inputs that can be characterized as "random"
• Other entropy supplied directly by the user

34.2 Modes of operation
RNGA supports the following modes of operation.
Table 34-1. Modes of operation supported by RNGA

Description

Normal

The ring-oscillator clocks are active; RNGA generates entropy
(randomness) from the clocks and stores it in shift registers.

Sleep

The ring-oscillator clocks are inactive; RNGA does not
generate entropy.

34.4.1 Output (OR) register
The Output (OR) register provides temporary storage for random data generated by the
core engine / control logic. The Status (SR) register allows the user to monitor the
presence of valid random data in OR through SR[OREG_LVL].
If the OR is read while containing valid random data (as signaled by SR[OREG_LVL] =
1), the valid data is returned, then OR and SR[OREG_LVL] are both cleared. If the user
reads from OR when it is empty, RNGA returns all zeros and, if the interrupt is enabled,
RNGA drives a request to the interrupt controller. Polling SR[OREG_LVL] is very
important to make sure random values are present before reading from OR.

34.4.2 Core engine / control logic
This block contains RNGA's control logic as well as its core engine used to generate
random data.

34.4.2.1 Control logic
The control logic contains the address decoder, all addressable registers, and control state
machines for RNGA. This block is responsible for communication with both the
peripheral interface and the Output (OR) register interface. The block also controls the
core engine to generate random data. The general functionality of the block is as follows:
After reset, RNGA operates in Normal mode as follows:
1. The core engine generates entropy and stores it in the shift registers.
2. After you enable random-data generation by loading CR[GO], every 256 clock
cycles the core engine generates a new random-data word. If SR[OREG_LVL] = 0,
then the control block loads the new random data into OR and set SR[OREG_LVL]
= 1; else the new data is discarded.

34.4.2.2 Core engine
The core engine block contains the logic used to generate random data. The logic within
the core engine contains the internal shift registers as well as the logic used to generate
the two oscillator-based clocks. The control logic determines how the shift registers are
configured as well as when the oscillator clocks are turned on.

34.5 Initialization/application information
The intended general operation of RNGA is as follows:
1. Reset/initialize.
2. Write 1 to CR[INTM], CR[HA], and CR[GO].
3. Poll SR[OREG_LVL] until it is not 0.
4. When SR[OREG_LVL] is not 0, read the available random data from
OR[RANDOUT].
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.

35.2.1 Analog Power (VDDA)
The ADC analog portion uses VDDA as its power connection. In some packages, VDDA is
connected internally to VDD. If externally available, connect the VDDA pin to the same
voltage potential as VDD. External filtering may be necessary to ensure clean VDDA for
good results.

35.2.2 Analog Ground (VSSA)
The ADC analog portion uses VSSA as its ground connection. In some packages, VSSA is
connected internally to VSS. If externally available, connect the VSSA pin to the same
voltage potential as VSS.

35.2.3 Voltage Reference Select
VREFSH and VREFSL are the high and low reference voltages for the ADC module.
The ADC can be configured to accept one of two voltage reference pairs for VREFSH and
VREFSL. Each pair contains a positive reference that must be between the minimum Ref
Voltage High and VDDA, and a ground reference that must be at the same potential as
VSSA. The two pairs are external (VREFH and VREFL) and alternate (VALTH and VALTL).
These voltage references are selected using SC2[REFSEL]. The alternate VALTH and
VALTL voltage reference pair may select additional external pins or internal sources
depending on MCU configuration. See the chip configuration information on the Voltage
References specific to this MCU.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
828

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

In some packages, VREFH is connected in the package to VDDA and VREFL to VSSA. If
externally available, the positive reference(s) may be connected to the same potential as
VDDA or may be driven by an external source to a level between the minimum Ref
Voltage High and the VDDA potential. VREFH must never exceed VDDA. Connect the
ground references to the same voltage potential as VSSA.

35.2.4 Analog Channel Inputs (ADx)
The ADC module supports up to 24 single-ended analog inputs. A single-ended input is
selected for conversion through the SC1[ADCH] channel select bits when SC1n[DIFF] is
low.

35.2.5 Differential Analog Channel Inputs (DADx)
The ADC module supports up to four differential analog channel inputs. Each differential
analog input is a pair of external pins, DADPx and DADMx, referenced to each other to
provide the most accurate analog to digital readings. A differential input is selected for
conversion through SC1[ADCH] when SC1n[DIFF] is high. All DADPx inputs may be
used as single-ended inputs if SC1n[DIFF] is low. In certain MCU configurations, some
DADMx inputs may also be used as single-ended inputs if SC1n[DIFF] is low. See the
chip configuration chapter for ADC connections specific to this MCU.

35.3.1 ADC Status and Control Registers 1 (ADCx_SC1n)
SC1A is used for both software and hardware trigger modes of operation.
To allow sequential conversions of the ADC to be triggered by internal peripherals, the
ADC can have more than one status and control register: one for each conversion. The
SC1B–SC1n registers indicate potentially multiple SC1 registers for use only in hardware

trigger mode. See the chip configuration information about the number of SC1n registers
specific to this device. The SC1n registers have identical fields, and are used in a "pingpong" approach to control ADC operation.
At any one point in time, only one of the SC1n registers is actively controlling ADC
conversions. Updating SC1A while SC1n is actively controlling a conversion is allowed,
and vice-versa for any of the SC1n registers specific to this MCU.
Writing SC1A while SC1A is actively controlling a conversion aborts the current
conversion. In Software Trigger mode, when SC2[ADTRG]=0, writes to SC1A
subsequently initiate a new conversion, if SC1[ADCH] contains a value other than all 1s.
Writing any of the SC1n registers while that specific SC1n register is actively controlling
a conversion aborts the current conversion. None of the SC1B-SC1n registers are used for
software trigger operation and therefore writes to the SC1B–SC1n registers do not initiate
a new conversion.

Description
This is a read-only field that is set each time a conversion is completed when the compare function is
disabled, or SC2[ACFE]=0 and the hardware average function is disabled, or SC3[AVGE]=0. When the
compare function is enabled, or SC2[ACFE]=1, COCO is set upon completion of a conversion only if the
compare result is true. When the hardware average function is enabled, or SC3[AVGE]=1, COCO is set
upon completion of the selected number of conversions (determined by AVGS). COCO in SC1A is also set
at the completion of a calibration sequence. COCO is cleared when the respective SC1n register is written
or when the respective Rn register is read.

the differential channels, and changes the conversion algorithm and the number of cycles to complete a
conversion.

Differential conversions and input channels are selected.

Input channel select
Selects one of the input channels. The input channel decode depends on the value of DIFF. DAD0-DAD3
are associated with the input pin pairs DADPx and DADMx.
NOTE: Some of the input channel options in the bitfield-setting descriptions might not be available for
your device. For the actual ADC channel assignments for your device, see the Chip Configuration
details.
The successive approximation converter subsystem is turned off when the channel select bits are all set,
that is, ADCH = 11111. This feature allows explicit disabling of the ADC and isolation of the input channel
from all sources. Terminating continuous conversions this way prevents an additional single conversion
from being performed. It is not necessary to set ADCH to all 1s to place the ADC in a low-power state
when continuous conversions are not enabled because the module automatically enters a low-power state
when a conversion completes.

start of a conversion and deactivated when conversions are terminated. In this case, there is an
associated clock startup delay each time the clock source is re-activated.

The data result registers (Rn) contain the result of an ADC conversion of the channel
selected by the corresponding status and channel control register (SC1A:SC1n). For
every status and channel control register, there is a corresponding data result register.
Unused bits in R n are cleared in unsigned right-aligned modes and carry the sign bit
(MSB) in sign-extended 2's complement modes. For example, when configured for 10-bit
single-ended mode, D[15:10] are cleared. When configured for 11-bit differential mode,
D[15:10] carry the sign bit, that is, bit 10 extended through bit 15.

modes of operation.

The Compare Value Registers (CV1 and CV2) contain a compare value used to compare
the conversion result when the compare function is enabled, that is, SC2[ACFE]=1. This
register is formatted in the same way as the Rn registers in different modes of operation
for both bit position definition and value format using unsigned or sign-extended 2's
complement. Therefore, the compare function uses only the CVn fields that are related to
the ADC mode of operation.
The compare value 2 register (CV2) is used only when the compare range function is
enabled, that is, SC2[ACREN]=1.

35.3.8 ADC Offset Correction Register (ADCx_OFS)
The ADC Offset Correction Register (OFS) contains the user-selected or calibrationgenerated offset error correction value. This register is a 2’s complement, left-justified,
16-bit value . The value in OFS is subtracted from the conversion and the result is
transferred into the result registers, Rn. If the result is greater than the maximum or less
than the minimum result value, it is forced to the appropriate limit for the current mode of
operation.

35.4 Functional description
The ADC module is disabled during reset, in Low-Power Stop mode, or when
SC1n[ADCH] are all high; see the power management information for details. The
module is idle when a conversion has completed and another conversion has not been
initiated. When it is idle and the asynchronous clock output enable is disabled, or
CFG2[ADACKEN]= 0, the module is in its lowest power state. The ADC can perform an
analog-to-digital conversion on any of the software selectable channels. All modes
perform conversion by a successive approximation algorithm.
To meet accuracy specifications, the ADC module must be calibrated using the on-chip
calibration function.
See Calibration function for details on how to perform calibration.
When the conversion is completed, the result is placed in the Rn data registers. The
respective SC1n[COCO] is then set and an interrupt is generated if the respective
conversion complete interrupt has been enabled, or, when SC1n[AIEN]=1.
The ADC module has the capability of automatically comparing the result of a
conversion with the contents of the CV1 and CV2 registers. The compare function is
enabled by setting SC2[ACFE] and operates in any of the conversion modes and
configurations.

Functional description

The ADC module has the capability of automatically averaging the result of multiple
conversions. The hardware average function is enabled by setting SC3[AVGE] and
operates in any of the conversion modes and configurations.
NOTE
For the chip specific modes of operation, see the power
management information of this MCU.

35.4.1 Clock select and divide control
One of four clock sources can be selected as the clock source for the ADC module.
This clock source is then divided by a configurable value to generate the input clock
ADCK, to the module. The clock is selected from one of the following sources by means
of CFG1[ADICLK].
• Bus clock. This is the default selection following reset.
• Bus clock divided by two. For higher bus clock rates, this allows a maximum divideby-16 of the bus clock using CFG1[ADIV].
• ALTCLK: As defined for this MCU. See the chip configuration information.
Conversions are possible using ALTCLK as the input clock source while the MCU is
in Normal Stop mode.
• Asynchronous clock (ADACK): This clock is generated from a clock source within
the ADC module. When the ADACK clock source is selected, it is not required to be
active prior to conversion start. When it is selected and it is not active prior to a
conversion start CFG2[ADACKEN]=0, ADACK is activated at the start of a
conversion and deactivated when conversions are terminated. In this case, there is an
associated clock startup delay each time the clock source is re-activated. To avoid the
conversion time variability and latency associated with the ADACK clock startup, set
CFG2[ADACKEN]=1 and wait the worst-case startup time of 5 µs prior to initiating
any conversions using the ADACK clock source. Conversions are possible using
ADACK as the input clock source while the MCU is in Normal Stop mode. See
Power Control for more information.
Whichever clock is selected, its frequency must fall within the specified frequency range
for ADCK. If the available clocks are too slow, the ADC may not perform according to
specifications. If the available clocks are too fast, the clock must be divided to the
appropriate frequency. This divider is specified by CFG1[ADIV] and can be divide-by 1,
2, 4, or 8.

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

35.4.2 Voltage reference selection
The ADC can be configured to accept one of the two voltage reference pairs as the
reference voltage (VREFSH and VREFSL) used for conversions.
Each pair contains a positive reference that must be between the minimum Ref Voltage
High and VDDA, and a ground reference that must be at the same potential as VSSA. The
two pairs are external (VREFH and VREFL) and alternate (VALTH and VALTL). These
voltage references are selected using SC2[REFSEL]. The alternate (VALTH and VALTL)
voltage reference pair may select additional external pins or internal sources depending
on MCU configuration. See the chip configuration information on the voltage references
specific to this MCU.

35.4.3 Hardware trigger and channel selects
The ADC module has a selectable asynchronous hardware conversion trigger, ADHWT,
that is enabled when SC2[ADTRG] is set and a hardware trigger select event,
ADHWTSn, has occurred.
This source is not available on all MCUs. See the Chip Configuration chapter for
information on the ADHWT source and the ADHWTSn configurations specific to this
MCU.
When an ADHWT source is available and hardware trigger is enabled, that is
SC2[ADTRG]=1, a conversion is initiated on the rising-edge of ADHWT after a
hardware trigger select event, that is, ADHWTSn, has occurred. If a conversion is in
progress when a rising-edge of a trigger occurs, the rising-edge is ignored. In continuous
convert configuration, only the initial rising-edge to launch continuous conversions is
observed, and until conversion is aborted, the ADC continues to do conversions on the
same SCn register that initiated the conversion. The hardware trigger function operates in
conjunction with any of the conversion modes and configurations.
The hardware trigger select event, ADHWTSn, must be set prior to the receipt of the
ADHWT signal. If these conditions are not met, the converter may ignore the trigger or
use the incorrect configuration. If a hardware trigger select event is asserted during a
conversion, it must stay asserted until the end of current conversion and remain set until
the receipt of the ADHWT signal to trigger a new conversion. The channel and status
fields selected for the conversion depend on the active trigger select signal:
• ADHWTSA active selects SC1A.
• ADHWTSn active selects SC1n.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

853

Functional description

Note
Asserting more than one hardware trigger select signal
(ADHWTSn) at the same time results in unknown results. To
avoid this, select only one hardware trigger select signal
(ADHWTSn) prior to the next intended conversion.
When the conversion is completed, the result is placed in the Rn registers associated with
the ADHWTSn received. For example:
• ADHWTSA active selects RA register
• ADHWTSn active selects Rn register
The conversion complete flag associated with the ADHWTSn received, that is,
SC1n[COCO], is then set and an interrupt is generated if the respective conversion
complete interrupt has been enabled, that is, SC1[AIEN]=1.

35.4.4 Conversion control
Conversions can be performed as determined by CFG1[MODE] and SC1n[DIFF] as
shown in the description of CFG1[MODE].
Conversions can be initiated by a software or hardware trigger.
In addition, the ADC module can be configured for:
• Low-power operation
• Long sample time
• Continuous conversion
• Hardware average
• Automatic compare of the conversion result to a software determined compare value

35.4.4.1 Initiating conversions
A conversion is initiated:
• Following a write to SC1A, with SC1n[ADCH] not all 1's, if software triggered
operation is selected, that is, when SC2[ADTRG]=0.
• Following a hardware trigger, or ADHWT event, if hardware triggered operation is
selected, that is, SC2[ADTRG]=1, and a hardware trigger select event, ADHWTSn,
has occurred. The channel and status fields selected depend on the active trigger
select signal:
• ADHWTSA active selects SC1A.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
854

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

• ADHWTSn active selects SC1n.
• if neither is active, the off condition is selected
Note
Selecting more than one ADHWTSn prior to a conversion
completion will result in unknown results. To avoid this,
select only one ADHWTSn prior to a conversion
completion.
• Following the transfer of the result to the data registers when continuous conversion
is enabled, that is, when SC3[ADCO] = 1.
If continuous conversions are enabled, a new conversion is automatically initiated after
the completion of the current conversion. In software triggered operation, that is, when
SC2[ADTRG] = 0, continuous conversions begin after SC1A is written and continue
until aborted. In hardware triggered operation, that is, when SC2[ADTRG] = 1 and one
ADHWTSn event has occurred, continuous conversions begin after a hardware trigger
event and continue until aborted.
If hardware averaging is enabled, a new conversion is automatically initiated after the
completion of the current conversion until the correct number of conversions are
completed. In software triggered operation, conversions begin after SC1A is written. In
hardware triggered operation, conversions begin after a hardware trigger. If continuous
conversions are also enabled, a new set of conversions to be averaged are initiated
following the last of the selected number of conversions.

35.4.4.2 Completing conversions
A conversion is completed when the result of the conversion is transferred into the data
result registers, Rn. If the compare functions are disabled, this is indicated by setting of
SC1n[COCO]. If hardware averaging is enabled, the respective SC1n[COCO] sets only if
the last of the selected number of conversions is completed. If the compare function is
enabled, the respective SC1n[COCO] sets and conversion result data is transferred only if
the compare condition is true. If both hardware averaging and compare functions are
enabled, then the respective SC1n[COCO] sets only if the last of the selected number of
conversions is completed and the compare condition is true. An interrupt is generated if
the respective SC1n[AIEN] is high at the time that the respective SC1n[COCO] is set.

Functional description

35.4.4.3 Aborting conversions
Any conversion in progress is aborted when:
• Writing to SC1A while it is actively controlling a conversion, aborts the current
conversion. In Software Trigger mode, when SC2[ADTRG]=0, a write to SC1A
initiates a new conversion if SC1A[ADCH] is equal to a value other than all 1s.
Writing to any of the SC1B–SC1n registers while that specific SC1B–SC1n register
is actively controlling a conversion aborts the current conversion. The SC1(B-n)
registers are not used for software trigger operation and therefore writes to the
SC1(B-n) registers do not initiate a new conversion.
• A write to any ADC register besides the SC1A-SC1n registers occurs. This indicates
that a change in mode of operation has occurred and the current conversion is
therefore invalid.
• The MCU is reset or enters Low-Power Stop modes.
• The MCU enters Normal Stop mode with ADACK or Alternate Clock Sources not
enabled.
When a conversion is aborted, the contents of the data registers, Rn, are not altered. The
data registers continue to be the values transferred after the completion of the last
successful conversion. If the conversion was aborted by a reset or Low-Power Stop
modes, RA and Rn return to their reset states.

35.4.4.4 Power control
The ADC module remains in its idle state until a conversion is initiated. If ADACK is
selected as the conversion clock source, but the asynchronous clock output is disabled,
that is CFG2[ADACKEN]=0, the ADACK clock generator also remains in its idle state
(disabled) until a conversion is initiated. If the asynchronous clock output is enabled, that
is, CFG2[ADACKEN]=1, it remains active regardless of the state of the ADC or the
MCU power mode.
Power consumption when the ADC is active can be reduced by setting CFG1[ADLPC].
This results in a lower maximum value for fADCK.

35.4.4.5 Sample time and total conversion time
For short sample, that is, when CFG1[ADLSMP]=0, there is a 2-cycle adder for first
conversion over the base sample time of four ADCK cycles. For high-speed conversions,
that is, when CFG2[ADHSC]=1, there is an additional 2-cycle adder on any conversion.
The table below summarizes sample times for the possible ADC configurations.

The total conversion time depends upon:
• The sample time as determined by CFG1[ADLSMP] and CFG2[ADLSTS]
• The MCU bus frequency
• The conversion mode, as determined by CFG1[MODE] and SC1n[DIFF]
• The high-speed configuration, that is, CFG2[ADHSC]
• The frequency of the conversion clock, that is, fADCK.
CFG2[ADHSC] is used to configure a higher clock input frequency. This will allow
faster overall conversion times. To meet internal ADC timing requirements,
CFG2[ADHSC] adds additional ADCK cycles. Conversions with CFG2[ADHSC]=1 take
two more ADCK cycles. CFG2[ADHSC] must be used when the ADCLK exceeds the
limit for CFG2[ADHSC]=0.
After the module becomes active, sampling of the input begins.
1. CFG1[ADLSMP] and CFG2[ADLSTS] select between sample times based on the
conversion mode that is selected.
2. When sampling is completed, the converter is isolated from the input channel and a
successive approximation algorithm is applied to determine the digital value of the
analog signal.
3. The result of the conversion is transferred to Rn upon completion of the conversion
algorithm.

Functional description

If the bus frequency is less than fADCK, precise sample time for continuous conversions
cannot be guaranteed when short sample is enabled, that is, when CFG1[ADLSMP]=0.
The maximum total conversion time is determined by the clock source chosen and the
divide ratio selected. The clock source is selectable by CFG1[ADICLK], and the divide
ratio is specified by CFG1[ADIV].
The maximum total conversion time for all configurations is summarized in the equation
below. See the following tables for the variables referenced in the equation.

conversion time is 57.625 µs, that is, AverageNum. This results in a total conversion time
of 1.844 ms.

• 8-bit Single-Ended mode with the bus clock selected as the input clock source
• The input clock divide-by-1 ratio selected
• Bus frequency of 20 MHz
• Long sample time disabled
• High-speed conversion enabled
The conversion time for this conversion is calculated by using the Figure 35-92, and the

35.4.4.7 Hardware average function
The hardware average function can be enabled by setting SC3[AVGE]=1 to perform a
hardware average of multiple conversions. The number of conversions is determined by
the AVGS[1:0] bits, which can select 4, 8, 16, or 32 conversions to be averaged. While
the hardware average function is in progress, SC2[ADACT] will be set.
After the selected input is sampled and converted, the result is placed in an accumulator
from which an average is calculated once the selected number of conversions have been
completed. When hardware averaging is selected, the completion of a single conversion
will not set SC1n[COCO].

Functional description

If the compare function is either disabled or evaluates true, after the selected number of
conversions are completed, the average conversion result is transferred into the data
result registers, Rn, and SC1n[COCO] is set. An ADC interrupt is generated upon the
setting of SC1n[COCO] if the respective ADC interrupt is enabled, that is,
SC1n[AIEN]=1.
Note
The hardware average function can perform conversions on a
channel while the MCU is in Wait or Normal Stop modes. The
ADC interrupt wakes the MCU when the hardware average is
completed if SC1n[AIEN] is set.

35.4.5 Automatic compare function
The compare function can be configured to check whether the result is less than or
greater-than-or-equal-to a single compare value, or, if the result falls within or outside a
range determined by two compare values.
The compare mode is determined by SC2[ACFGT], SC2[ACREN], and the values in the
compare value registers, CV1 and CV2. After the input is sampled and converted, the
compare values in CV1 and CV2 are used as described in the following table. There are
six Compare modes as shown in the following table.

With SC2[ACREN] =1, and if the value of CV1 is less than or equal to the value of CV2,
then setting SC2[ACFGT] will select a trigger-if-inside-compare-range inclusive-ofendpoints function. Clearing SC2[ACFGT] will select a trigger-if-outside-comparerange, not-inclusive-of-endpoints function.
If CV1 is greater than CV2, setting SC2[ACFGT] will select a trigger-if-outsidecompare-range, inclusive-of-endpoints function. Clearing SC2[ACFGT] will select a
trigger-if-inside-compare-range, not-inclusive-of-endpoints function.
If the condition selected evaluates true, SC1n[COCO] is set.
Upon completion of a conversion while the compare function is enabled, if the compare
condition is not true, SC1n[COCO] is not set and the conversion result data will not be
transferred to the result register, Rn. If the hardware averaging function is enabled, the
compare function compares the averaged result to the compare values. The same compare
function definitions apply. An ADC interrupt is generated when SC1n[COCO] is set and
the respective ADC interrupt is enabled, that is, SC1n[AIEN]=1.
Note
The compare function can monitor the voltage on a channel
while the MCU is in Wait or Normal Stop modes. The ADC
interrupt wakes the MCU when the compare condition is met.

35.4.6 Calibration function
>The ADC contains a self-calibration function that is required to achieve the specified
accuracy.
Calibration must be run, or valid calibration values written, after any reset and before a
conversion is initiated. The calibration function sets the offset calibration value, the
minus-side calibration values, and the plus-side calibration values. The offset calibration
value is automatically stored in the ADC offset correction register (OFS), and the plusside and minus-side calibration values are automatically stored in the ADC plus-side and
minus-side calibration registers, CLPx and CLMx. The user must configure the ADC
correctly prior to calibration, and must generate the plus-side and minus-side gain
calibration results and store them in the ADC plus-side gain register (PG) after the
calibration function completes.
Prior to calibration, the user must configure the ADC's clock source and frequency, low
power configuration, voltage reference selection, sample time, and high speed
configuration according to the application's clock source availability and needs. If the

Functional description

application uses the ADC in a wide variety of configurations, the configuration for which
the highest accuracy is required should be selected, or multiple calibrations can be done
for the different configurations. For best calibration results:
• Set hardware averaging to maximum, that is, SC3[AVGE]=1 and SC3[AVGS]=11
for an average of 32
• Set ADC clock frequency fADCK less than or equal to 4 MHz
• VREFH=VDDA
• Calibrate at nominal voltage and temperature
The input channel, conversion mode continuous function, compare function, resolution
mode, and differential/single-ended mode are all ignored during the calibration function.
To initiate calibration, the user sets SC3[CAL] and the calibration will automatically
begin if the SC2[ADTRG] is 0. If SC2[ADTRG] is 1, SC3[CAL] will not get set and
SC3[CALF] will be set. While calibration is active, no ADC register can be written and
no stop mode may be entered, or the calibration routine will be aborted causing
SC3[CAL] to clear and SC3[CALF] to set. At the end of a calibration sequence,
SC1n[COCO] will be set. SC1n[AIEN] can be used to allow an interrupt to occur at the
end of a calibration sequence. At the end of the calibration routine, if SC3[CALF] is not
set, the automatic calibration routine is completed successfully.
To complete calibration, the user must generate the gain calibration values using the
following procedure:
1. Initialize or clear a 16-bit variable in RAM.
2. Add the plus-side calibration results CLP0, CLP1, CLP2, CLP3, CLP4, and CLPS to
the variable.
3. Divide the variable by two.
4. Set the MSB of the variable.
5. The previous two steps can be achieved by setting the carry bit, rotating to the right
through the carry bit on the high byte and again on the low byte.
6. Store the value in the plus-side gain calibration register PG.
7. Repeat the procedure for the minus-side gain calibration value.
When calibration is complete, the user may reconfigure and use the ADC as desired. A
second calibration may also be performed, if desired, by clearing and again setting
SC3[CAL].

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Overall, the calibration routine may take as many as 14k ADCK cycles and 100 bus
cycles, depending on the results and the clock source chosen. For an 8 MHz clock source,
this length amounts to about 1.7 ms. To reduce this latency, the calibration values, which
are offset, plus-side and minus-side gain, and plus-side and minus-side calibration values,
may be stored in flash memory after an initial calibration and recovered prior to the first
ADC conversion. This method can reduce the calibration latency to 20 register store
operations on all subsequent power, reset, or Low-Power Stop mode recoveries.
Further information on the calibration procedure can be found in the Calibration section
of AN3949: ADC16 Calibration Procedure and Programmable Delay Block
Synchronization.

35.4.7 User-defined offset function
OFS contains the user-selected or calibration-generated offset error correction value.
This register is a 2’s complement, left-justified. The value in OFS is subtracted from the
conversion and the result is transferred into the result registers, Rn. If the result is greater
than the maximum or less than the minimum result value, it is forced to the appropriate
limit for the current mode of operation.
The formatting of the OFS is different from the data result register, Rn, to preserve the
resolution of the calibration value regardless of the conversion mode selected. Lower
order bits are ignored in lower resolution modes. For example, in 8-bit single-ended
mode, OFS[14:7] are subtracted from D[7:0]; OFS[15] indicates the sign (negative
numbers are effectively added to the result) and OFS[6:0] are ignored. The same bits are
used in 9-bit differential mode because OFS[15] indicates the sign bit, which maps to
D[8]. For 16-bit differential mode, OFS[15:0] are directly subtracted from the conversion
result data D[15:0]. In 16-bit single-ended mode, there is no field in the OFS
corresponding to the least significant result D[0], so odd values, such as -1 or +1, cannot
be subtracted from the result.
OFS is automatically set according to calibration requirements once the self-calibration
sequence is done, that is, SC3[CAL] is cleared. The user may write to OFS to override
the calibration result if desired. If the OFS is written by the user to a value that is
different from the calibration value, the ADC error specifications may not be met. Storing
the value generated by the calibration function in memory before overwriting with a userspecified value is recommended.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

865

Functional description

Note
There is an effective limit to the values of offset that can be set
by the user. If the magnitude of the offset is too high, the results
of the conversions will cap off at the limits.
The offset calibration function may be employed by the user to remove application
offsets or DC bias values. OFS may be written with a number in 2's complement format
and this offset will be subtracted from the result, or hardware averaged value. To add an
offset, store the negative offset in 2's complement format and the effect will be an
addition. An offset correction that results in an out-of-range value will be forced to the
minimum or maximum value. The minimum value for single-ended conversions is
0x0000; for a differential conversion it is 0x8000.
To preserve accuracy, the calibrated offset value initially stored in OFS must be added to
the user-defined offset. For applications that may change the offset repeatedly during
operation, store the initial offset calibration value in flash so it can be recovered and
added to any user offset adjustment value and the sum stored in OFS.

35.4.8 Temperature sensor
The ADC module includes a temperature sensor whose output is connected to one of the
ADC analog channel inputs.
The following equation provides an approximate transfer function of the temperature
sensor.
m
Figure 35-93. Approximate transfer function of the temperature sensor

where:
• VTEMP is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at the ambient temperature.
• VTEMP25 is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at 25 °C.
• m is referred as temperature sensor slope in the device data sheet. It is the hot or cold
voltage versus temperature slope in V/°C.
For temperature calculations, use the VTEMP25 and temperature sensor slope values from
the ADC Electricals table.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
866

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

In application code, the user reads the temperature sensor channel, calculates VTEMP, and
compares to VTEMP25. If VTEMP is greater than VTEMP25 the cold slope value is applied in
the preceding equation. If VTEMP is less than VTEMP25, the hot slope value is applied in
the preceding equation. ADC Electricals table may only specify one temperature sensor
slope value. In that case, the user could use the same slope for the calculation across the
operational temperature range.
For more information on using the temperature sensor, see the application note titled
Temperature Sensor for the HCS08 Microcontroller Family (document AN3031).

35.4.9 MCU wait mode operation
Wait mode is a lower-power consumption Standby mode from which recovery is fast
because the clock sources remain active.
If a conversion is in progress when the MCU enters Wait mode, it continues until
completion. Conversions can be initiated while the MCU is in Wait mode by means of
the hardware trigger or if continuous conversions are enabled.
The bus clock, bus clock divided by two; and ADACK are available as conversion clock
sources while in Wait mode. The use of ALTCLK as the conversion clock source in Wait
is dependent on the definition of ALTCLK for this MCU. See the Chip Configuration
information on ALTCLK specific to this MCU.
If the compare and hardware averaging functions are disabled, a conversion complete
event sets SC1n[COCO] and generates an ADC interrupt to wake the MCU from Wait
mode if the respective ADC interrupt is enabled, that is, when SC1n[AIEN]=1. If the
hardware averaging function is enabled, SC1n[COCO] will set, and generate an interrupt
if enabled, when the selected number of conversions are completed. If the compare
function is enabled, SC1n[COCO] will set, and generate an interrupt if enabled, only if
the compare conditions are met. If a single conversion is selected and the compare trigger
is not met, the ADC will return to its idle state and cannot wake the MCU from Wait
mode unless a new conversion is initiated by the hardware trigger.

35.4.10 MCU Normal Stop mode operation
Stop mode is a low-power consumption Standby mode during which most or all clock
sources on the MCU are disabled.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

867

Functional description

35.4.10.1 Normal Stop mode with ADACK disabled
If the asynchronous clock, ADACK, is not selected as the conversion clock, executing a
stop instruction aborts the current conversion and places the ADC in its Idle state. The
contents of the ADC registers, including Rn, are unaffected by Normal Stop mode. After
exiting from Normal Stop mode, a software or hardware trigger is required to resume
conversions.

35.4.10.2 Normal Stop mode with ADACK enabled
If ADACK is selected as the conversion clock, the ADC continues operation during
Normal Stop mode. See the chip configuration chapter for configuration information for
this MCU.
If a conversion is in progress when the MCU enters Normal Stop mode, it continues until
completion. Conversions can be initiated while the MCU is in Normal Stop mode by
means of the hardware trigger or if continuous conversions are enabled.
If the compare and hardware averaging functions are disabled, a conversion complete
event sets SC1n[COCO] and generates an ADC interrupt to wake the MCU from Normal
Stop mode if the respective ADC interrupt is enabled, that is, when SC1n[AIEN]=1. The
result register, Rn, will contain the data from the first completed conversion that occurred
during Normal Stop mode. If the hardware averaging function is enabled, SC1n[COCO]
will set, and generate an interrupt if enabled, when the selected number of conversions
are completed. If the compare function is enabled, SC1n[COCO] will set, and generate an
interrupt if enabled, only if the compare conditions are met. If a single conversion is
selected and the compare is not true, the ADC will return to its Idle state and cannot wake
the MCU from Normal Stop mode unless a new conversion is initiated by another
hardware trigger.

35.4.11 MCU Low-Power Stop mode operation
The ADC module is automatically disabled when the MCU enters Low-Power Stop
mode.
All module registers contain their reset values following exit from Low-Power Stop
mode. Therefore, the module must be re-enabled and re-configured following exit from
Low-Power Stop mode.

For the chip specific modes of operation, see the power
management information for the device.

35.5 Initialization information
This section gives an example that provides some basic direction on how to initialize and
configure the ADC module.
The user can configure the module for 16-bit, 12-bit, 10-bit, or 8-bit single-ended
resolution or 16-bit, 13-bit, 11-bit, or 9-bit differential resolution, single or continuous
conversion, and a polled or interrupt approach, among many other options. For
information used in this example, refer to Table 35-107, Table 35-108, and Table 35-109.
Note
Hexadecimal values are designated by a preceding 0x, binary
values designated by a preceding %, and decimal values have
no preceding character.

35.5.1 ADC module initialization example

35.5.1.1 Initialization sequence
Before the ADC module can be used to complete conversions, an initialization procedure
must be performed. A typical sequence is:
1. Calibrate the ADC by following the calibration instructions in Calibration function.
2. Update CFG to select the input clock source and the divide ratio used to generate
ADCK. This register is also used for selecting sample time and low-power
configuration.
3. Update SC2 to select the conversion trigger, hardware or software, and compare
function options, if enabled.
4. Update SC3 to select whether conversions will be continuous or completed only once
(ADCO) and whether to perform hardware averaging.
5. Update SC1:SC1n registers to select whether conversions will be single-ended or
differential and to enable or disable conversion complete interrupts. Also, select the
input channel which can be used to perform conversions.

35.6 Application information
The ADC has been designed to be integrated into a microcontroller for use in embedded
control applications requiring an ADC.
For guidance on selecting optimum external component values and converter parameters
see AN4373: Cookbook for SAR ADC Measurements.

35.6.1 External pins and routing

35.6.1.1 Analog supply pins
Depending on the device, the analog power and ground supplies, VDDA and VSSA, of the
ADC module are available as:

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

871

Application information

• VDDA and VSSA available as separate pins—When available on a separate pin, both
VDDA and VSSA must be connected to the same voltage potential as their
corresponding MCU digital supply, VDD and VSS, and must be routed carefully for
maximum noise immunity and bypass capacitors placed as near as possible to the
package.
• VSSA is shared on the same pin as the MCU digital VSS.
• VSSA and VDDA are shared with the MCU digital supply pins—In these cases, there
are separate pads for the analog supplies bonded to the same pin as the corresponding
digital supply so that some degree of isolation between the supplies is maintained.
If separate power supplies are used for analog and digital power, the ground connection
between these supplies must be at the VSSA pin. This must be the only ground connection
between these supplies, if possible. VSSA makes a good single point ground location.

35.6.1.2 Analog voltage reference pins
In addition to the analog supplies, the ADC module has connections for two reference
voltage inputs used by the converter:
• VREFSH is the high reference voltage for the converter.
• VREFSL is the low reference voltage for the converter.
The ADC can be configured to accept one of two voltage reference pairs for VREFSH and
VREFSL. Each pair contains a positive reference and a ground reference. The two pairs are
external, VREFH and VREFL and alternate, VALTH and VALTL. These voltage references are
selected using SC2[REFSEL]. The alternate voltage reference pair, VALTH and VALTL,
may select additional external pins or internal sources based on MCU configuration. See
the chip configuration information on the voltage references specific to this MCU.
In some packages, the external or alternate pairs are connected in the package to VDDA
and VSSA, respectively. One of these positive references may be shared on the same pin
as VDDA on some devices. One of these ground references may be shared on the same pin
as VSSA on some devices.
If externally available, the positive reference may be connected to the same potential as
VDDA or may be driven by an external source to a level between the minimum Ref
Voltage High and the VDDA potential. The positive reference must never exceed VDDA. If
externally available, the ground reference must be connected to the same voltage
potential as VSSA. The voltage reference pairs must be routed carefully for maximum
noise immunity and bypass capacitors placed as near as possible to the package.
AC current in the form of current spikes required to supply charge to the capacitor array
at each successive approximation step is drawn through the VREFH and VREFL loop. The
best external component to meet this current demand is a 0.1 μF capacitor with good
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
872

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

high-frequency characteristics. This capacitor is connected between VREFH and VREFL
and must be placed as near as possible to the package pins. Resistance in the path is not
recommended because the current causes a voltage drop that could result in conversion
errors. Inductance in this path must be minimum, that is, parasitic only.

35.6.1.3 Analog input pins
The external analog inputs are typically shared with digital I/O pins on MCU devices.
Empirical data shows that capacitors on the analog inputs improve performance in the
presence of noise or when the source impedance is high. Use of 0.01 μF capacitors with
good high-frequency characteristics is sufficient. These capacitors are not necessary in all
cases, but when used, they must be placed as near as possible to the package pins and be
referenced to VSSA.
For proper conversion, the input voltage must fall between VREFH and VREFL. If the input
is equal to or exceeds VREFH, the converter circuit converts the signal to 0xFFF, which is
full scale 12-bit representation, 0x3FF, which is full scale 10-bit representation, or 0xFF,
which is full scale 8-bit representation. If the input is equal to or less than VREFL, the
converter circuit converts it to 0x000. Input voltages between VREFH and VREFL are
straight-line linear conversions. There is a brief current associated with VREFL when the
sampling capacitor is charging.
For minimal loss of accuracy due to current injection, pins adjacent to the analog input
pins must not be transitioning during conversions.

35.6.2 Sources of error

35.6.2.1 Sampling error
For proper conversions, the input must be sampled long enough to achieve the proper
accuracy.

RAS + RADIN =SC / (FMAX * NUMTAU * CADIN)

873

Application information

CADIN = Internal ADC input capacitance
NUMTAU = -ln(LSBERR / 2N)
LSBERR = value of acceptable sampling error in LSBs
N = 8 in 8-bit mode, 10 in 10-bit mode, 12 in 12-bit mode or 16 in 16-bit mode
Higher source resistances or higher-accuracy sampling is possible by setting
CFG1[ADLSMP] and changing CFG2[ADLSTS] to increase the sample window, or
decreasing ADCK frequency to increase sample time.

35.6.2.2 Pin leakage error
Leakage on the I/O pins can cause conversion error if the external analog source
resistance, RAS, is high. If this error cannot be tolerated by the application, keep RAS
lower than VREFH / (4 × ILEAK × 2N) for less than 1/4 LSB leakage error, where N = 8 in
8-bit mode, 10 in 10-bit mode, 12 in 12-bit mode, or 16 in 16-bit mode.

35.6.2.3 Noise-induced errors
System noise that occurs during the sample or conversion process can affect the accuracy
of the conversion. The ADC accuracy numbers are guaranteed as specified only if the
following conditions are met:
• There is a 0.1 μF low-ESR capacitor from VREFH to VREFL.
• There is a 0.1 μF low-ESR capacitor from VDDA to VSSA.
• If inductive isolation is used from the primary supply, an additional 1 μF capacitor is
placed from VDDA to VSSA.
• VSSA, and VREFL, if connected, is connected to VSS at a quiet point in the ground
plane.
• Operate the MCU in Wait or Normal Stop mode before initiating (hardware-triggered
conversions) or immediately after initiating (hardware- or software-triggered
conversions) the ADC conversion.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
874

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

• For software triggered conversions, immediately follow the write to SC1 with a
Wait instruction or Stop instruction.
• For Normal Stop mode operation, select ADACK as the clock source. Operation
in Normal Stop reduces VDD noise but increases effective conversion time due to
stop recovery.
• There is no I/O switching, input or output, on the MCU during the conversion.
There are some situations where external system activity causes radiated or conducted
noise emissions or excessive VDD noise is coupled into the ADC. In these situations, or
when the MCU cannot be placed in Wait or Normal Stop mode, or I/O activity cannot be
halted, the following actions may reduce the effect of noise on the accuracy:
• Place a 0.01 μF capacitor (CAS) on the selected input channel to VREFL or VSSA. This
improves noise issues, but affects the sample rate based on the external analog source
resistance.
• Average the result by converting the analog input many times in succession and
dividing the sum of the results. Four samples are required to eliminate the effect of a
1 LSB, one-time error.
• Reduce the effect of synchronous noise by operating off the asynchronous clock, that
is, ADACK, and averaging. Noise that is synchronous to ADCK cannot be averaged
out.

35.6.2.4 Code width and quantization error
The ADC quantizes the ideal straight-line transfer function into 65536 steps in the 16-bit
mode). Each step ideally has the same height, that is, 1 code, and width. The width is
defined as the delta between the transition points to one code and the next. The ideal code
width for an N-bit converter, where N can be 16, 12, 10, or 8, defined as 1 LSB, is:

LSB
Figure 35-96. Ideal code width for an N-bit converter

There is an inherent quantization error due to the digitization of the result. For 8-bit, 10bit, or 12-bit conversions, the code transitions when the voltage is at the midpoint
between the points where the straight line transfer function is exactly represented by the
actual transfer function. Therefore, the quantization error will be ± 1/2 LSB in 8-bit, 10bit, or 12-bit modes. As a consequence, however, the code width of the first (0x000)
conversion is only 1/2 LSB and the code width of the last (0xFF or 0x3FF) is 1.5 LSB.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

875

Application information

For 16-bit conversions, the code transitions only after the full code width is present, so
the quantization error is -1 LSB to 0 LSB and the code width of each step is 1 LSB.

35.6.2.5 Linearity errors
The ADC may also exhibit non-linearity of several forms. Every effort has been made to
reduce these errors, but the system designers must be aware of these errors because they
affect overall accuracy:
• Zero-scale error (EZS), sometimes called offset: This error is defined as the difference
between the actual code width of the first conversion and the ideal code width. This
is 1/2 LSB in 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit modes and 1 LSB in 16-bit mode. If the first
conversion is 0x001, the difference between the actual 0x001 code width and its ideal
(1 LSB) is used.
• Full-scale error (EFS): This error is defined as the difference between the actual code
width of the last conversion and the ideal code width. This is 1.5 LSB in 8-bit, 10-bit,
or 12-bit modes and 1 LSB in 16-bit mode. If the last conversion is 0x3FE, the
difference between the actual 0x3FE code width and its ideal (1 LSB) is used.
• Differential non-linearity (DNL): This error is defined as the worst-case difference
between the actual code width and the ideal code width for all conversions.
• Integral non-linearity (INL): This error is defined as the highest-value or absolute
value that the running sum of DNL achieves. More simply, this is the worst-case
difference of the actual transition voltage to a given code and its corresponding ideal
transition voltage, for all codes.
• Total unadjusted error (TUE): This error is defined as the difference between the
actual transfer function and the ideal straight-line transfer function and includes all
forms of error.

35.6.2.6 Code jitter, non-monotonicity, and missing codes
Analog-to-digital converters are susceptible to three special forms of error:
• Code jitter: Code jitter is when, at certain points, a given input voltage converts to
one of the two values when sampled repeatedly. Ideally, when the input voltage is
infinitesimally smaller than the transition voltage, the converter yields the lower
code, and vice-versa. However, even small amounts of system noise can cause the
converter to be indeterminate, between two codes, for a range of input voltages
around the transition voltage.

876

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 35 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

This error may be reduced by repeatedly sampling the input and averaging the result.
Additionally, the techniques discussed in Noise-induced errors reduces this error.
• Non-monotonicity: Non-monotonicity is defined as when, except for code jitter, the
converter converts to a lower code for a higher input voltage.
• Missing codes: Missing codes are those values never converted for any input value.
In 8-bit or 10-bit mode, the ADC is guaranteed to be monotonic and have no missing
codes.

Comparator (CMP)
36.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The comparator (CMP) module provides a circuit for comparing two analog input
voltages. The comparator circuit is designed to operate across the full range of the supply
voltage, known as rail-to-rail operation.
The Analog MUX (ANMUX) provides a circuit for selecting an analog input signal from
eight channels. One signal is provided by the 6-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
The mux circuit is designed to operate across the full range of the supply voltage.
The 6-bit DAC is 64-tap resistor ladder network which provides a selectable voltage
reference for applications where voltage reference is needed. The 64-tap resistor ladder
network divides the supply reference Vin into 64 voltage levels. A 6-bit digital signal
input selects the output voltage level, which varies from Vin to Vin/64. Vin can be selected
from two voltage sources, Vin1 and Vin2. The 6-bit DAC from a comparator is available
as an on-chip internal signal only and is not available externally to a pin.

36.1.1 CMP features
The CMP has the following features:
• Operational over the entire supply range
• Inputs may range from rail to rail
• Programmable hysteresis control

Introduction

• Selectable interrupt on rising-edge, falling-edge, or both rising or falling edges of the
comparator output
• Selectable inversion on comparator output
• Capability to produce a wide range of outputs such as:
• Sampled
• Windowed, which is ideal for certain PWM zero-crossing-detection applications
• Digitally filtered:
• Filter can be bypassed
• Can be clocked via external SAMPLE signal or scaled bus clock
• External hysteresis can be used at the same time that the output filter is used for
internal functions
• Two software selectable performance levels:
• Shorter propagation delay at the expense of higher power
• Low power, with longer propagation delay
• DMA transfer support
• A comparison event can be selected to trigger a DMA transfer
• Functional in all modes of operation
• The window and filter functions are not available in the following modes:
• Stop
• VLPS
• LLS

In the CMP block diagram:
• The Window Control block is bypassed when CR1[WE] = 0
• If CR1[WE] = 1, the comparator output will be sampled on every bus clock when
WINDOW=1 to generate COUTA. Sampling does NOT occur when WINDOW = 0.
• The Filter block is bypassed when not in use.
• The Filter block acts as a simple sampler if the filter is bypassed and
CR0[FILTER_CNT] is set to 0x01.
• The Filter block filters based on multiple samples when the filter is bypassed and
CR0[FILTER_CNT] is set greater than 0x01.
• If CR1[SE] = 1, the external SAMPLE input is used as sampling clock
• IF CR1[SE] = 0, the divided bus clock is used as sampling clock

Memory map/register definitions

• If enabled, the Filter block will incur up to one bus clock additional latency penalty
on COUT due to the fact that COUT, which is crossing clock domain boundaries,
must be resynchronized to the bus clock.
• CR1[WE] and CR1[SE] are mutually exclusive.

36.3 Functional description
The CMP module can be used to compare two analog input voltages applied to INP and
INM.
CMPO is high when the non-inverting input is greater than the inverting input, and is low
when the non-inverting input is less than the inverting input. This signal can be
selectively inverted by setting CR1[INV] = 1.
SCR[IER] and SCR[IEF] are used to select the condition which will cause the CMP
module to assert an interrupt to the processor. SCR[CFF] is set on a falling-edge and
SCR[CFR] is set on rising-edge of the comparator output. The optionally filtered CMPO
can be read directly through SCR[COUT].

36.3.1 CMP functional modes
There are three main sub-blocks to the CMP module:
• The comparator itself
• The window function
• The filter function
The filter, CR0[FILTER_CNT], can be clocked from an internal or external clock source.
The filter is programmable with respect to the number of samples that must agree before
a change in the output is registered. In the simplest case, only one sample must agree. In
this case, the filter acts as a simple sampler.
The external sample input is enabled using CR1[SE]. When set, the output of the
comparator is sampled only on rising edges of the sample input.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
890

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 36 Comparator (CMP)

The "windowing mode" is enabled by setting CR1[WE]. When set, the comparator output
is sampled only when WINDOW=1. This feature can be used to ignore the comparator
output during time periods in which the input voltages are not valid. This is especially
useful when implementing zero-crossing-detection for certain PWM applications.
The comparator filter and sampling features can be combined as shown in the following
table. Individual modes are discussed below.

Functional description

For cases where a comparator is used to drive a fault input, for example, for a motorcontrol module such as FTM, it must be configured to operate in Continuous mode so
that an external fault can immediately pass through the comparator to the target fault
circuitry.
Note
Filtering and sampling settings must be changed only after
setting CR1[SE]=0 and CR0[FILTER_CNT]=0x00. This resets
the filter to a known state.

36.3.1.1 Disabled mode (# 1)
In Disabled mode, the analog comparator is non-functional and consumes no power.

The analog comparator block is powered and active. CMPO may be optionally inverted,
but is not subject to external sampling or filtering. Both window control and filter blocks
are completely bypassed. SCR[COUT] is updated continuously. The path from
comparator input pins to output pin is operating in combinational unclocked mode.
COUT and COUTA are identical.

The only difference in operation between Sampled, Non-Filtered (# 3A) and Sampled,
Non-Filtered (# 3B) is in how the clock to the filter block is derived. In #3A, the clock to
filter block is externally derived while in #3B, the clock to filter block is internally
derived.
The comparator filter has no other function than sample/hold of the comparator output in

assumes that the polarity select is set to non-inverting state.
NOTE
The analog comparator output is passed to COUTA only when
the WINDOW signal is high.
In actual operation, COUTA may lag the analog inputs by up to one bus clock cycle plus
the combinational path delay through the comparator and polarity select logic.

When any windowed mode is active, COUTA is clocked by the bus clock whenever
WINDOW = 1. The last latched value is held when WINDOW = 0.

36.3.1.6 Windowed/Resampled mode (# 6)
The following figure uses the same input stimulus shown in Figure 36-32, and adds
resampling of COUTA to generate COUT. Samples are taken at the time points indicated
by the arrows in the figure. Again, prop delays and latency are ignored for the sake of
clarity.
This example was generated solely to demonstrate operation of the comparator in
windowed/resampled mode, and does not reflect any specific application. Depending
upon the sampling rate and window placement, COUT may not see zero-crossing events
detected by the analog comparator. Sampling period and/or window placement must be
carefully considered for a given application.

Figure 36-34. Windowed/resampled mode operation

This mode of operation results in an unfiltered string of comparator samples where the
interval between the samples is determined by FPR[FILT_PER] and the bus clock rate.
Configuration for this mode is virtually identical to that for the Windowed/Filtered Mode
shown in the next section. The only difference is that the value of CR0[FILTER_CNT]
must be 1.

36.3.1.7 Windowed/Filtered mode (#7)
This is the most complex mode of operation for the comparator block, as it uses both
windowing and filtering features. It also has the highest latency of any of the modes. This
can be approximated: up to 1 bus clock synchronization in the window function +
((CR0[FILTER_CNT] * FPR[FILT_PER]) + 1) * bus clock for the filter function.
When any windowed mode is active, COUTA is clocked by the bus clock whenever
WINDOW = 1. The last latched value is held when WINDOW = 0.

36.3.2 Power modes
36.3.2.1 Wait mode operation
During Wait and VLPW modes, the CMP, if enabled, continues to operate normally and
a CMP interrupt can wake the MCU.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

899

Functional description

36.3.2.2 Stop mode operation
Depending on clock restrictions related to the MCU core or core peripherals, the MCU is
brought out of stop when a compare event occurs and the corresponding interrupt is
enabled. Similarly, if CR1[OPE] is enabled, the comparator output operates as in the
normal operating mode and comparator output is placed onto the external pin. In Stop
modes, the comparator can be operational in both:
• High-Speed (HS) Comparison mode when CR1[PMODE] = 1
• Low-Speed (LS) Comparison mode when CR1[PMODE] = 0
It is recommended to use the LS mode to minimize power consumption.
If stop is exited with a reset, all comparator registers are put into their reset state.

36.3.2.3 Low-Leakage mode operation
When the chip is in Low-Leakage modes:
• The CMP module is partially functional and is limited to Low-Speed mode,
regardless of CR1[PMODE] setting
• Windowed, Sampled, and Filtered modes are not supported
• The CMP output pin is latched and does not reflect the compare output state.
The positive- and negative-input voltage can be supplied from external pins or the DAC
output. The MCU can be brought out of the Low-Leakage mode if a compare event
occurs and the CMP interrupt is enabled. After wakeup from low-leakage modes, the
CMP module is in the reset state except for SCR[CFF] and SCR[CFR].

36.3.3 Startup and operation
A typical startup sequence is listed here.
• The time required to stabilize COUT will be the power-on delay of the comparators
plus the largest propagation delay from a selected analog source through the analog
comparator, windowing function and filter. See the Data Sheets for power-on delays
of the comparators. The windowing function has a maximum of one bus clock period
delay. The filter delay is specified in the Low-pass filter.
• During operation, the propagation delay of the selected data paths must always be
considered. It may take many bus clock cycles for COUT and SCR[CFR]/SCR[CFF]

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Chapter 36 Comparator (CMP)

to reflect an input change or a configuration change to one of the components
involved in the data path.
• When programmed for filtering modes, COUT will initially be equal to 0, until
sufficient clock cycles have elapsed to fill all stages of the filter. This occurs even if
COUTA is at a logic 1.

36.3.4 Low-pass filter
The low-pass filter operates on the unfiltered and unsynchronized and optionally inverted
comparator output COUTA and generates the filtered and synchronized output COUT.
Both COUTA and COUT can be configured as module outputs and are used for different
purposes within the system.
Synchronization and edge detection are always used to determine status register bit
values. They also apply to COUT for all sampling and windowed modes. Filtering can be
performed using an internal timebase defined by FPR[FILT_PER], or using an external
SAMPLE input to determine sample time.
The need for digital filtering and the amount of filtering is dependent on user
requirements. Filtering can become more useful in the absence of an external hysteresis
circuit. Without external hysteresis, high-frequency oscillations can be generated at
COUTA when the selected INM and INP input voltages differ by less than the offset
voltage of the differential comparator.

36.3.4.1 Enabling filter modes
Filter modes can be enabled by:
• Setting CR0[FILTER_CNT] > 0x01 and
• Setting FPR[FILT_PER] to a nonzero value or setting CR1[SE]=1
If using the divided bus clock to drive the filter, it will take samples of COUTA every
FPR[FILT_PER] bus clock cycles.
The filter output will be at logic 0 when first initalized, and will subsequently change
when all the consecutive CR0[FILTER_CNT] samples agree that the output value has
changed. In other words, SCR[COUT] will be 0 for some initial period, even when
COUTA is at logic 1.
Setting both CR1[SE] and FPR[FILT_PER] to 0 disables the filter and eliminates
switching current associated with the filtering process.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

901

Functional description

Note
Always switch to this setting prior to making any changes in
filter parameters. This resets the filter to a known state.
Switching CR0[FILTER_CNT] on the fly without this
intermediate step can result in unexpected behavior.
If CR1[SE]=1, the filter takes samples of COUTA on each positive transition of the
sample input. The output state of the filter changes when all the consecutive
CR0[FILTER_CNT] samples agree that the output value has changed.

36.3.4.2 Latency issues
The value of FPR[FILT_PER] or SAMPLE period must be set such that the sampling
period is just longer than the period of the expected noise. This way a noise spike will
corrupt only one sample. The value of CR0[FILTER_CNT] must be chosen to reduce the
probability of noisy samples causing an incorrect transition to be recognized. The
probability of an incorrect transition is defined as the probability of an incorrect sample
raised to the power of CR0[FILTER_CNT].
The values of FPR[FILT_PER] or SAMPLE period and CR0[FILTER_CNT] must also
be traded off against the desire for minimal latency in recognizing actual comparator
output transitions. The probability of detecting an actual output change within the
nominal latency is the probability of a correct sample raised to the power of
CR0[FILTER_CNT].
The following table summarizes maximum latency values for the various modes of
operation in the absence of noise. Filtering latency is restarted each time an actual output
transition is masked by noise.

36.4 CMP interrupts
The CMP module is capable of generating an interrupt on either the rising- or fallingedge of the comparator output, or both.
The following table gives the conditions in which the interrupt request is asserted and
deasserted.
When

Then

SCR[IER] and SCR[CFR] are set

The interrupt request is asserted

SCR[IEF] and SCR[CFF] are set

The interrupt request is asserted

SCR[IER] and SCR[CFR] are cleared for a rising-edge
interrupt

The interrupt request is deasserted

SCR[IEF] and SCR[CFF] are cleared for a falling-edge
interrupt

The interrupt request is deasserted

36.5 DMA support
Normally, the CMP generates a CPU interrupt if there is a change on the COUT. When
DMA support is enabled by setting SCR[DMAEN] and the interrupt is enabled by setting
SCR[IER], SCR[IEF], or both, the corresponding change on COUT forces a DMA
transfer request rather than a CPU interrupt instead. When the DMA has completed the
transfer, it sends a transfer completing indicator that deasserts the DMA transfer request
and clears the flag to allow a subsequent change on comparator output to occur and force
another DMA request.
The comparator can remain functional in STOP modes.

903

CMP Asyncrhonous DMA support

When DMA support is enabled by setting SCR[DMAEN] and the interrupt is enabled by
setting SCR[IER], SCR[IEF], or both, the corresponding change on COUT forces a DMA
transfer request to wake up the system from STOP modes. After the data transfer has
finished, system will go back to STOP modes. Refer to DMA chapters in the device
reference manual for the asynchronous DMA function for details.

36.6 CMP Asyncrhonous DMA support
The comparator can remain functional in STOP modes.
When DMA support is enabled by setting SCR[DMAEN] and the interrupt is enabled by
setting SCR[IER], SCR[IEF], or both, the corresponding change on COUT forces a DMA
transfer request to wake up the system from STOP modes. After the data transfer has
finished, system will go back to STOP modes. Refer to DMA chapters in the device
reference manual for the asynchronous DMA function for details.

37.5 Functional description
The 12-bit DAC module can select one of the two reference inputs—DACREF_1 and
DACREF_2 as the DAC reference voltage, Vin by C0[DACRFS]. See the module
introduction for information on the source for DACREF_1 and DACREF_2.
When the DAC is enabled, it converts the data in DACDAT0[11:0] or the data from the
DAC data buffer to a stepped analog output voltage. The output voltage range is from Vin
to Vin∕4096, and the step is Vin∕4096.

37.5.1 DAC data buffer operation
When the DAC is enabled and the buffer is not enabled, the DAC module always
converts the data in DAT0 to analog output voltage.
When both the DAC and the buffer are enabled, the DAC converts the data in the data
buffer to analog output voltage. The data buffer read pointer advances to the next word
whenever any hardware or software trigger event occurs. Refer to Introduction for the
hardware trigger connection.
The data buffer can be configured to operate in Normal mode, Swing mode, One-Time
Scan mode or FIFO mode. When the buffer operation is switched from one mode to
another, the read pointer does not change. The read pointer can be set to any value
between 0 and C2[DACBFUP] by writing C2[DACBFRP].

37.5.1.1 DAC data buffer interrupts
There are several interrupts and associated flags that can be configured for the DAC
buffer. SR[DACBFRPBF] is set when the DAC buffer read pointer reaches the DAC
buffer upper limit, that is, C2[DACBFRP] = C2[DACBFUP]. SR[DACBFRPTF] is set
when the DAC read pointer is equal to the start position, 0. Finally, SR[DACBFWMF] is
set when the DAC buffer read pointer has reached the position defined by
C1[DACBFWM]. C1[DACBFWM] can be used to generate an interrupt when the DAC
buffer read pointer is between 1 to 4 words from C2[DACBFUP].

37.5.1.2 Modes of DAC data buffer operation
The following table describes the different modes of data buffer operation for the DAC
module.
Table 37-118. Modes of DAC data buffer operation
Modes

Description

Buffer Normal mode

This is the default mode. The buffer works as a circular buffer.
The read pointer increases by one, every time the trigger
occurs. When the read pointer reaches the upper limit, it goes
to 0 directly in the next trigger event.

Buffer Swing mode

This mode is similar to the normal mode. However, when the
read pointer reaches the upper limit, it does not go to 0. It will
descend by 1 in the next trigger events until 0 is reached.

Buffer One-time Scan mode

The read pointer increases by 1 every time the trigger occurs.
When it reaches the upper limit, it stops there. If read pointer
is reset to the address other than the upper limit, it will
increase to the upper address and stop there again.
NOTE: If the software set the read pointer to the upper limit,
the read pointer will not advance in this mode.

37.5.2 DMA operation
When DMA is enabled, DMA requests are generated instead of interrupt requests. The
DMA Done signal clears the DMA request.
The status register flags are still set and are cleared automatically when the DMA
completes.

37.5.3 Resets
During reset, the DAC is configured in the default mode and is disabled.

The following table shows the wait mode and the stop mode operation of the DAC
module.

Stop mode

If enabled, the DAC module continues to operate

Voltage Reference (VREFV1)
38.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The Voltage Reference(VREF) is intended to supply an accurate voltage output that can
be trimmed in 0.5 mV steps. The VREF can be used in applications to provide a reference
voltage to external devices or used internally as a reference to analog peripherals such as
the ADC, DAC, or CMP. The voltage reference has three operating modes that provide
different levels of supply rejection and power consumption..
The following figure is a block diagram of the Voltage Reference.

38.1.1 Overview
The Voltage Reference provides a buffered reference voltage for use as an external
reference. In addition, the buffered reference is available internally for use with on chip
peripherals such as ADCs and DACs. Refer to the chip configuration details for a
description of these options. The reference voltage is output on a dedicated output pin
when the VREF is enabled. The Voltage Reference output can be trimmed with a
resolution of 0.5mV by means of the TRM register TRIM[5:0] bitfield.

38.1.2 Features
The Voltage Reference has the following features:
• Programmable trim register with 0.5 mV steps, automatically loaded with factory
trimmed value upon reset
• Programmable buffer mode selection:
• Off

Chapter 38 Voltage Reference (VREFV1)

• Bandgap enabled/standby (output buffer disabled)
• Low power buffer mode (output buffer enabled)
• High power buffer mode (output buffer enabled)
• 1.2 V output at room temperature
• Dedicated output pin, VREF_OUT

38.1.3 Modes of Operation
The Voltage Reference continues normal operation in Run, Wait, and Stop modes. The
Voltage Reference can also run in Very Low Power Run (VLPR), Very Low Power Wait
(VLPW) and Very Low Power Stop (VLPS). If it is desired to use the VREF regulator in
the very low power modes, the system reference voltage must be enabled in these modes.
Refer to the chip configuration details for information on enabling this mode of
operation. Having the VREF regulator enabled does increase current consumption. In
very low power modes it may be desirable to disable the VREF regulator to minimize
current consumption. Note however that the accuracy of the output voltage will be
reduced (by as much as several mVs) when the VREF regulator is not used.
NOTE
The assignment of module modes to core modes is chipspecific. For module-to-core mode assignments, see the chapter
that describes how modules are configured.

38.3.2 Voltage Reference Enabled, SC[VREFEN] = 1
When SC[VREFEN] = 1, the Voltage Reference is enabled, and different modes should
be set by the SC[MODE_LV] bits.

38.3.2.1 SC[MODE_LV]=00
The internal VREF bandgap is enabled to generate an accurate 1.2 V output that can be
trimmed with the TRM register's TRIM[5:0] bitfield. The bandgap requires some time for
startup and stabilization. SC[VREFST] can be monitored to determine if the stabilization
and startup is complete.
The output buffer is disabled in this mode, and there is no buffered voltage output. The
Voltage Reference is in standby mode. If this mode is first selected and the low power or
high power buffer mode is subsequently enabled, there will be a delay before the buffer
output is settled at the final value. This is the buffer start up delay (Tstup) and the value is
specified in the appropriate device data sheet.

38.3.2.2 SC[MODE_LV] = 01
The internal VREF bandgap is on. The high power buffer is enabled to generate a
buffered 1.2 V voltage to VREF_OUT. It can also be used as a reference to internal
analog peripherals such as an ADC channel or analog comparator input.
If this mode is entered from the standby mode (SC[MODE_LV] = 00, SC[VREFEN] = 1)
there will be a delay before the buffer output is settled at the final value. This is the buffer
start up delay (Tstup) and the value is specified in the appropriate device data sheet. If
this mode is entered when the VREF module is enabled then you must wait the longer of
Tstup or until SC[VREFST] = 1.
In this mode, a 100 nF capacitor is required to connect between the VREF_OUT pin and
VSSA.

38.3.2.3 SC[MODE_LV] = 10
The internal VREF bandgap is on. The low power buffer is enabled to generate a buffered
1.2 V voltage to VREF_OUT. It can also be used as a reference to internal analog
peripherals such as an ADC channel or analog comparator input.

Initialization/Application Information

If this mode is entered from the standby mode (SC[MODE_LV] = 00, SC[VREFEN] = 1)
there will be a delay before the buffer output is settled at the final value. This is the buffer
start up delay (Tstup) and the value is specified in the appropriate device data sheet. If
this mode is entered when the VREF module is enabled then you must wait the longer of
Tstup or until SC[VREFST] = 1.
In this mode, a 100 nF capacitor is required to connect between the VREF_OUT pin and
VSSA.

38.3.2.4 SC[MODE_LV] = 11
Reserved

38.4 Initialization/Application Information
The Voltage Reference requires some time for startup and stabilization. After
SC[VREFEN] = 1, SC[VREFST] can be monitored to determine if the stabilization and
startup is completed. The settling time of internal bandgap reference is typically 35ms,
which means there is 35ms delay after the bandgap is enabled, the SC[VREFST] can only
be useful after the bandgap is stable after the settling time.
When the Voltage Reference is already enabled and stabilized, changing SC[MODE_LV]
will not clear SC[VREFST] but there will be some startup time before the output voltage
at the VREF_OUT pin has settled. This is the buffer start up delay (Tstup) and the value
is specified in the appropriate device data sheet. Also, there will be some settling time
when a step change of the load current is applied to the VREF_OUT pin. When the 1.75V
VREF regulator is disabled, the VREF_OUT voltage will be more sensitive to supply
voltage variation. It is recommended to use this regulator to achieve optimum
VREF_OUT performance.
The TRM[CHOPEN], SC[REGEN] and SC[ICOMPEN] bits are written to 1 during
factory trimming of the VREF voltage. These bits should be written to 1 to achieve the
perfromance stated in the device data sheet.

39.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The Programmable Delay Block (PDB) provides controllable delays from either an
internal or an external trigger, or a programmable interval tick, to the hardware trigger
inputs of ADCs and/or generates the interval triggers to DACs, so that the precise timing
between ADC conversions and/or DAC updates can be achieved. The PDB can
optionally provide pulse outputs (Pulse-Out's) that are used as the sample window in the
CMP block.

39.1.1 Features
• Up to 15 trigger input sources and one software trigger source
• Up to eight configurable PDB channels for ADC hardware trigger
• One PDB channel is associated with one ADC
• One trigger output for ADC hardware trigger and up to eight pre-trigger outputs
for ADC trigger select per PDB channel
• Trigger outputs can be enabled or disabled independently
• One 16-bit delay register per pre-trigger output
• Optional bypass of the delay registers of the pre-trigger outputs
• Operation in One-Shot or Continuous modes

39.1.6 Modes of operation
PDB ADC trigger operates in the following modes:
• Disabled—Counter is off, all pre-trigger and trigger outputs are low if PDB is not in
back-to-back operation of Bypass mode.
• Debug—Counter is paused when processor is in Debug mode, and the counter for the
DAC trigger is also paused in Debug mode.
• Enabled One-Shot—Counter is enabled and restarted at count zero upon receiving a
positive edge on the selected trigger input source or software trigger is selected and
SC[SWTRIG] is written with 1. In each PDB channel, an enabled pre-trigger asserts
once per trigger input event. The trigger output asserts whenever any of the pretriggers is asserted.
• Enabled Continuous—Counter is enabled and restarted at count zero. The counter is
rolled over to zero again when the count reaches the value specified in the modulus
register, and the counting is restarted. This enables a continuous stream of pretriggers/trigger outputs as a result of a single trigger input event.
• Enabled Bypassed—The pre-trigger and trigger outputs assert immediately after a
positive edge on the selected trigger input source or software trigger is selected and
SC[SWTRIG] is written with 1, that is the delay registers are bypassed. It is possible
to bypass any one or more of the delay registers; therefore, this mode can be used in
conjunction with One-Shot or Continuous mode.

39.4 Functional description

39.4.1 PDB pre-trigger and trigger outputs
The PDB contains a counter whose output is compared against several different digital
values. If the PDB is enabled, a trigger input event will reset the counter and make it start
to count. A trigger input event is defined as a rising edge being detected on selected
trigger input source or software trigger being selected and SC[SWTRIG] is written with
1. For each channel, delay m determines the time between assertion of the trigger input
event to the point at which changes in the pre-trigger m output signal is initiated. The
time is defined as:
• Trigger input event to pre-trigger m = (prescaler X multiplication factor X delay m) +
2 peripheral clock cycles
• Add one additional peripheral clock cycle to determine the time at which the channel
trigger output change.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

941

Functional description

Each channel is associated with one ADC block. PDB channel n pre-trigger outputs 0 to
M and trigger output is connected to ADC hardware trigger select and hardware trigger
inputs. The pre-triggers are used to precondition the ADC block prior to the actual
trigger. When the ADC receives the rising edge of the trigger, the ADC will start
conversion as the precondition determined by pre-triggers.The ADC contains M sets of
configuration and result registers, allowing it to operate in a ping-pong fashion,
alternating conversions between M different analog sources. The pre-trigger outputs are
used to specify which signal will be sampled next. When pre-trigger m is asserted, the
ADC conversion is triggered with set m of the configuration and result registers.
The waveforms shown in the following diagram illustrate the pre-trigger and trigger
outputs of PDB channel n. The delays can be independently set via the CHnDLYm
registers. And the pre-triggers can be enabled or disabled in CHnC1[EN[m]].
Trigger input event
Ch n pre-trigger 0
Ch n pre-trigger 1

... ... ... ...
Ch n pre-trigger M
Ch n trigger

Figure 39-56. Pre-trigger and trigger outputs

The delay in CHnDLYm register can be optionally bypassed, if CHnC1[TOS[m]] is
cleared. In this case, when the trigger input event occurs, the pre-trigger m is asserted
after two peripheral clock cycles.
The PDB can be configured in back-to-back operation. Back-to-back operation enables
the ADC conversions complete to trigger the next PDB channel pre-trigger and trigger
outputs, so that the ADC conversions can be triggered on the next set of configuration
and results registers. When back-to-back is enabled by setting CHnC1[BB[m]], the delay
m is ignored and the pre-trigger m is asserted two peripheral cycles after the
acknowledgment m is received. The acknowledgment connections in this MCU is
described in Back-to-back acknowledgment connections.
When an ADC conversion, which is triggered by one of the pre-triggers from PDB
channel n, is in progress and ADCnSC1[COCO] is not set, a new trigger from PDB
channel n pre-trigger m cannot be accepted by ADCn. Therefore every time when one
PDB channel n pre-trigger and trigger output starts an ADC conversion, an internal lock
associated with the corresponding pre-trigger is activated. This lock becomes inactive
when:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
942

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 39 Programmable Delay Block (PDB)

• the corresponding ADCnSC1[COCO] is set
• the corresponding PDB pre-trigger is disabled, or
• the PDB is disabled
The channel n trigger output is suppressed when any of the locks of the pre-triggers in
channel n is active. If a new pre-trigger m asserts when there is active lock in the PDB
channel n, a register flag bit, CHnS[ERR[m]], associated with the pre-trigger m is set. If
SC[PDBEIE] is set, the sequence error interrupt is generated. Sequence error typically
happens because the delay m is set too short and the pre-trigger m asserts before the
previously triggered ADC conversion is completed.
When the PDB counter reaches the value set in IDLY register, the SC[PDBIF] flag is set.
A PDB interrupt can be generated if SC[PDBIE] is set and SC[DMAEN] is cleared. If
SC[DMAEN] is set, PDB requests a DMA transfer when SC[PDBIF] is set.
The modulus value in the MOD register is used to reset the counter back to zero at the
end of the count. If SC[CONT] is set, the counter will then resume a new count.
Otherwise, the counter operation will cease until the next trigger input event occurs.

39.4.2 PDB trigger input source selection
The PDB has up to 15 trigger input sources, namely Trigger-In 14. They are connected to
on-chip or off-chip event sources. The PDB can be triggered by software through
SC[SWTRIG]. SC[TRIGSEL] selects the active trigger input source or software trigger.
For the trigger input sources implemented in this MCU, see chip configuration
information.

39.4.3 DAC interval trigger outputs
PDB can generate the interval triggers for DACs to update their outputs periodically.
DAC interval counter x is reset and started when a trigger input event occurs if
DACINTCx[EXT] is cleared. When the interval counter x is equal to the value set in
DACINTx register, the DAC interval trigger x output generates a pulse of one peripheral
clock cycle width to update the DACx. If DACINTCx[EXT] is set, the DAC interval
counter is bypassed and the interval trigger output x generates a pulse following the
detection of a rising edge on the DAC external trigger input. The counter and interval
trigger can be disabled by clearing the DACINTCx[TOE].
DAC interval counters are also reset when the PDB counter reaches the MOD register
value; therefore, when the PDB counter rolls over to zero, the DAC interval counters
starts anew.

Functional description

The DAC interval trigger pulse and the ADC pre-trigger/trigger pulses together allow

NOTE
Because the DAC interval counters share the prescaler with
PDB counter, PDB must be enabled if the DAC interval trigger
outputs are used in the applications.

39.4.4 Pulse-Out's
PDB can generate pulse outputs of configurable width. When PDB counter reaches the
value set in POyDLY[DLY1], the Pulse-Out goes high; when the counter reaches
POyDLY[DLY2], it goes low. POyDLY[DLY2] can be set either greater or less than
POyDLY[DLY1].
ADC pre-trigger/trigger outputs and Pulse-Out generation have the same time base,
because they both share the PDB counter.
The pulse-out connections implemented in this MCU are described in the device's chip
configuration details.

39.4.5 Updating the delay registers
The following registers control the timing of the PDB operation; and in some of the
applications, they may need to become effective at the same time.
• PDB Modulus register (MOD)
• PDB Interrupt Delay register (IDLY)
• PDB Channel n Delay m register (CHnDLYm)
• DAC Interval x register (DACINTx)
• PDB Pulse-Out y Delay register (POyDLY)
The internal registers of them are buffered and any values written to them are written first
to their buffers. The circumstances that cause their internal registers to be updated with
the values from the buffers are summarized as shown in the table below.
Table 39-58. Circumstances of update to the delay registers
SC[LDMOD]

Update to the delay registers

00

The internal registers are loaded with the values from their buffers immediately after 1 is written to
SC[LDOK].

01

The PDB counter reaches the MOD register value after 1 is written to SC[LDOK].

10

A trigger input event is detected after 1 is written to SC[LDOK].

11

Either the PDB counter reaches the MOD register value, or a trigger input event is detected, after 1 is
written to SC[LDOK].

After 1 is written to SC[LDOK], the buffers cannot be written until the values in buffers
are loaded into their internal registers. SC[LDOK] is self-cleared when the internal
registers are loaded, so the application code can read it to determine the updates to the
internal registers.
The following diagrams show the cases of the internal registers being updated with
SC[LDMOD] is 00 and x1.

in terms of peripheral clock cycles (to the modulus of the prescaler X multiplication
factor). If the multiplication factor is set to 1 and the prescaler is set to 2 then the only
values of total peripheral clocks that can be detected are even values; if prescaler is set to
4 then the only values of total peripheral clocks that can be decoded as detected are
mod(4) and so forth. If the applications need a really long delay value and use a prescaler
set to 128, then the resolution would be limited to 128 peripheral clock cycles.
Therefore, use the lowest possible prescaler and multiplication factor for a given
application.

FlexTimer Module (FTM)
40.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The FlexTimer module (FTM) is a two-to-eight channel timer that supports input capture,
output compare, and the generation of PWM signals to control electric motor and power
management applications. The FTM time reference is a 16-bit counter that can be used as
an unsigned or signed counter.

40.1.1 FlexTimer philosophy
The FlexTimer is built upon a simple timer, the HCS08 Timer PWM Module – TPM,
used for many years on Freescale's 8-bit microcontrollers. The FlexTimer extends the
functionality to meet the demands of motor control, digital lighting solutions, and power
conversion, while providing low cost and backwards compatibility with the TPM module.
Several key enhancements are made:
•
•
•
•
•

Signed up counter
Deadtime insertion hardware
Fault control inputs
Enhanced triggering functionality
Initialization and polarity control

All of the features common with the TPM have fully backwards compatible register
assignments. The FlexTimer can also use code on the same core platform without change
to perform the same functions.

Introduction

Motor control and power conversion features have been added through a dedicated set of
registers and defaults turn off all new features. The new features, such as hardware
deadtime insertion, polarity, fault control, and output forcing and masking, greatly reduce
loading on the execution software and are usually each controlled by a group of registers.
FlexTimer input triggers can be from comparators, ADC, or other submodules to initiate
timer functions automatically. These triggers can be linked in a variety of ways during
integration of the sub modules so please note the options available for used FlexTimer
configuration.
Several FlexTimers may be synchronized to provide a larger timer with their counters
incrementing in unison, assuming the initialization, the input clocks, the initial and final
counting values are the same in each FlexTimer.
All main user access registers are buffered to ease the load on the executing software. A
number of trigger options exist to determine which registers are updated with this user
defined data.

40.1.2 Features
The FTM features include:
• FTM source clock is selectable
• Source clock can be the system clock, the fixed frequency clock, or an external
clock
• Fixed frequency clock is an additional clock input to allow the selection of an on
chip clock source other than the system clock
• Selecting external clock connects FTM clock to a chip level input pin therefore
allowing to synchronize the FTM counter with an off chip clock source
• Prescaler divide-by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128
• 16-bit counter
• It can be a free-running counter or a counter with initial and final value
• The counting can be up or up-down
• Each channel can be configured for input capture, output compare, or edge-aligned
PWM mode
• In Input Capture mode:

Chapter 40 FlexTimer Module (FTM)

• The capture can occur on rising edges, falling edges or both edges
• An input filter can be selected for some channels
• In Output Compare mode the output signal can be set, cleared, or toggled on match
• All channels can be configured for center-aligned PWM mode
• Each pair of channels can be combined to generate a PWM signal with independent
control of both edges of PWM signal
• The FTM channels can operate as pairs with equal outputs, pairs with
complementary outputs, or independent channels with independent outputs
• The deadtime insertion is available for each complementary pair
• Generation of match triggers
• Software control of PWM outputs
• Up to 4 fault inputs for global fault control
• The polarity of each channel is configurable
• The generation of an interrupt per channel
• The generation of an interrupt when the counter overflows
• The generation of an interrupt when the fault condition is detected
• Synchronized loading of write buffered FTM registers
• Write protection for critical registers
• Backwards compatible with TPM
• Testing of input captures for a stuck at zero and one conditions
• Dual edge capture for pulse and period width measurement
• Quadrature decoder with input filters, relative position counting, and interrupt on
position count or capture of position count on external event

40.1.3 Modes of operation
When the MCU is in an active BDM mode, the FTM temporarily suspends all counting
until the MCU returns to normal user operating mode. During Stop mode, all FTM input
clocks are stopped, so the FTM is effectively disabled until clocks resume. During Wait
mode, the FTM continues to operate normally. If the FTM does not need to produce a

Introduction

real time reference or provide the interrupt sources needed to wake the MCU from Wait
mode, the power can then be saved by disabling FTM functions before entering Wait
mode.

40.1.4 Block diagram
The FTM uses one input/output (I/O) pin per channel, CHn (FTM channel (n)) where n is
the channel number (0–7).
The following figure shows the FTM structure. The central component of the FTM is the
16-bit counter with programmable initial and final values and its counting can be up or
up-down.

FTM signal descriptions

40.2 FTM signal descriptions
Table 40-1 shows the user-accessible signals for the FTM.
Table 40-1. FTM signal descriptions
Signal

Description

I/O

Function

EXTCLK

External clock. FTM external
clock can be selected to drive
the FTM counter.

I

The external clock input signal is used as the FTM counter
clock if selected by CLKS[1:0] bits in the SC register. This
clock signal must not exceed 1/4 of system clock frequency.
The FTM counter prescaler selection and settings are also
used when an external clock is selected.

CHn

FTM channel (n), where n can
be 7-0

I/O

Each FTM channel can be configured to operate either as
input or output. The direction associated with each channel,
input or output, is selected according to the mode assigned
for that channel.

FAULTj

Fault input (j), where j can be
3-0

I

The fault input signals are used to control the CHn channel
output state. If a fault is detected, the FAULTj signal is
asserted and the channel output is put in a safe state. The
behavior of the fault logic is defined by the FAULTM[1:0]
control bits in the MODE register and FAULTEN bit in the
COMBINEm register. Note that each FAULTj input may affect
all channels selectively since FAULTM[1:0] and FAULTEN
control bits are defined for each pair of channels. Because
there are several FAULTj inputs, maximum of 4 for the FTM
module, each one of these inputs is activated by the
FAULTjEN bit in the FLTCTRL register.

PHA

Quadrature decoder phase A
input. Input pin associated
with quadrature decoder
phase A.

I

The quadrature decoder phase A input is used as the
Quadrature Decoder mode is selected. The phase A input
signal is one of the signals that control the FTM counter
increment or decrement in the Quadrature Decoder mode.

PHB

Quadrature decoder phase B
input. Input pin associated
with quadrature decoder
phase B.

I

The quadrature decoder phase B input is used as the
Quadrature Decoder mode is selected. The phase B input
signal is one of the signals that control the FTM counter
increment or decrement in the Quadrature Decoder mode.

40.3 Memory map and register definition
40.3.1 Memory map
This section presents a high-level summary of the FTM registers and how they are
mapped.
The registers and bits of an unavailable function in the FTM remain in the memory map
and in the reset value, but they have no active function.

Description
This field is reserved.
This read-only field is reserved and always has the value 0.
Timer Overflow Flag
Set by hardware when the FTM counter passes the value in the MOD register. The TOF bit is cleared by
reading the SC register while TOF is set and then writing a 0 to TOF bit. Writing a 1 to TOF has no effect.
If another FTM overflow occurs between the read and write operations, the write operation has no effect;
therefore, TOF remains set indicating an overflow has occurred. In this case, a TOF interrupt request is
not lost due to the clearing sequence for a previous TOF.

40.3.5 Modulo (FTMx_MOD)
The Modulo register contains the modulo value for the FTM counter. After the FTM
counter reaches the modulo value, the overflow flag (TOF) becomes set at the next clock,
and the next value of FTM counter depends on the selected counting method; see
Counter.
Writing to the MOD register latches the value into a buffer. The MOD register is updated
with the value of its write buffer according to Registers updated from write buffers.
If FTMEN = 0, this write coherency mechanism may be manually reset by writing to the
SC register whether BDM is active or not.
Initialize the FTM counter, by writing to CNT, before writing to the MOD register to
avoid confusion about when the first counter overflow will occur.

40.3.7 Channel (n) Value (FTMx_CnV)
These registers contain the captured FTM counter value for the input modes or the match
value for the output modes.
In Input Capture, Capture Test, and Dual Edge Capture modes, any write to a CnV
register is ignored.
In output modes, writing to a CnV register latches the value into a buffer. A CnV register
is updated with the value of its write buffer according to Registers updated from write
buffers.
If FTMEN = 0, this write coherency mechanism may be manually reset by writing to the
CnSC register whether BDM mode is active or not.

When the FTM clock is initially selected, by writing a non-zero value to the CLKS bits,
the FTM counter starts with the value 0x0000. To avoid this behavior, before the first
write to select the FTM clock, write the new value to the the CNTIN register and then
initialize the FTM counter by writing any value to the CNT register.

40.3.9 Capture And Compare Status (FTMx_STATUS)
The STATUS register contains a copy of the status flag CHnF bit in CnSC for each FTM

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

967

Memory map and register definition

Each CHnF bit in STATUS is a mirror of CHnF bit in CnSC. All CHnF bits can be
checked using only one read of STATUS. All CHnF bits can be cleared by reading
STATUS followed by writing 0x00 to STATUS.
Hardware sets the individual channel flags when an event occurs on the channel. CHnF is
cleared by reading STATUS while CHnF is set and then writing a 0 to the CHnF bit.
Writing a 1 to CHnF has no effect.
If another event occurs between the read and write operations, the write operation has no
effect; therefore, CHnF remains set indicating an event has occurred. In this case, a CHnF
interrupt request is not lost due to the clearing sequence for a previous CHnF.
NOTE
The STATUS register should be used only in Combine mode.

NOTE
The software trigger, SWSYNC bit, and hardware triggers
TRIG0, TRIG1, and TRIG2 bits have a potential conflict if
used together when SYNCMODE = 0. Use only hardware or
software triggers but not both at the same time, otherwise
unpredictable behavior is likely to happen.
The selection of the loading point, CNTMAX and CNTMIN
bits, is intended to provide the update of MOD, CNTIN, and
CnV registers across all enabled channels simultaneously. The
use of the loading point selection together with SYNCMODE =
0 and hardware trigger selection, TRIG0, TRIG1, or TRIG2
bits, is likely to result in unpredictable behavior.
The synchronization event selection also depends on the
PWMSYNC (MODE register) and SYNCMODE (SYNCONF
register) bits. See PWM synchronization.

for BLDC control where the PWM signal is presented to an electric motor at specific
times to provide electronic commutation.
Any write to the OUTMASK register, stores the value in its write buffer. The register is

FAULTF

Fault Detection Flag
Represents the logic OR of the individual FAULTFj bits where j = 3, 2, 1, 0. Clear FAULTF by reading the
FMS register while FAULTF is set and then writing a 0 to FAULTF while there is no existing fault condition
at the enabled fault inputs. Writing a 1 to FAULTF has no effect.
If another fault condition is detected in an enabled fault input before the clearing sequence is completed,
the sequence is reset so FAULTF remains set after the clearing sequence is completed for the earlier fault
condition. FAULTF is also cleared when FAULTFj bits are cleared individually.

40.4.1 Clock source
The FTM has only one clock domain: the system clock.

40.4.1.1 Counter clock source
The CLKS[1:0] bits in the SC register select one of three possible clock sources for the
FTM counter or disable the FTM counter. After any MCU reset, CLKS[1:0] = 0:0 so no
clock source is selected.
The CLKS[1:0] bits may be read or written at any time. Disabling the FTM counter by
writing 0:0 to the CLKS[1:0] bits does not affect the FTM counter value or other
registers.
The fixed frequency clock is an alternative clock source for the FTM counter that allows
the selection of a clock other than the system clock or an external clock. This clock input
is defined by chip integration. Refer to the chip specific documentation for further
information. Due to FTM hardware implementation limitations, the frequency of the
fixed frequency clock must not exceed 1/2 of the system clock frequency.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1004

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 40 FlexTimer Module (FTM)

The external clock passes through a synchronizer clocked by the system clock to assure
that counter transitions are properly aligned to system clock transitions.Therefore, to
meet Nyquist criteria considering also jitter, the frequency of the external clock source
must not exceed 1/4 of the system clock frequency.

40.4.2 Prescaler
The selected counter clock source passes through a prescaler that is a 7-bit counter. The
value of the prescaler is selected by the PS[2:0] bits. The following figure shows an
example of the prescaler counter and FTM counter.
FTM counting is up.

40.4.3 Counter
The FTM has a 16-bit counter that is used by the channels either for input or output
modes. The FTM counter clock is the selected clock divided by the prescaler.
The FTM counter has these modes of operation:
• Up counting
• Up-down counting
• Quadrature Decoder mode

40.4.3.1 Up counting
Up counting is selected when:
• QUADEN = 0, and
• CPWMS = 0

Functional description

CNTIN defines the starting value of the count and MOD defines the final value of the
count, see the following figure. The value of CNTIN is loaded into the FTM counter, and
the counter increments until the value of MOD is reached, at which point the counter is
reloaded with the value of CNTIN.
The FTM period when using up counting is (MOD – CNTIN + 0x0001) × period of the
FTM counter clock.
The TOF bit is set when the FTM counter changes from MOD to CNTIN.

The FTM counting is equivalent to TPM up counting, that is,
up and unsigned counting. See the following figure.

CNTIN[15] = 1

The initial value of the FTM counter is a negative number in
two's complement, so the FTM counting is up and signed.

CNTIN[15] = 0 and CNTIN ≠ 0x0000

Figure 40-210. Example of FTM up counting with CNTIN = 0x0000

Note
• FTM operation is only valid when the value of the CNTIN
register is less than the value of the MOD register, either in
the unsigned counting or signed counting. It is the
responsibility of the software to ensure that the values in
the CNTIN and MOD registers meet this requirement. Any
values of CNTIN and MOD that do not satisfy this criteria
can result in unpredictable behavior.
• MOD = CNTIN is a redundant condition. In this case, the
FTM counter is always equal to MOD and the TOF bit is
set in each rising edge of the FTM counter clock.
• When MOD = 0x0000, CNTIN = 0x0000, for example
after reset, and FTMEN = 1, the FTM counter remains
stopped at 0x0000 until a non-zero value is written into the
MOD or CNTIN registers.
• Setting CNTIN to be greater than the value of MOD is not
recommended as this unusual setting may make the FTM
operation difficult to comprehend. However, there is no
restriction on this configuration, and an example is shown
in the following figure.

40.4.3.2 Up-down counting
Up-down counting is selected when:
• QUADEN = 0, and
• CPWMS = 1
CNTIN defines the starting value of the count and MOD defines the final value of the
count. The value of CNTIN is loaded into the FTM counter, and the counter increments
until the value of MOD is reached, at which point the counter is decremented until it
returns to the value of CNTIN and the up-down counting restarts.
The FTM period when using up-down counting is 2 × (MOD – CNTIN) × period of the
FTM counter clock.
The TOF bit is set when the FTM counter changes from MOD to (MOD – 1).
If (CNTIN = 0x0000), the FTM counting is equivalent to TPM up-down counting, that is,
up-down and unsigned counting. See the following figure.

40.4.3.3 Free running counter
If (FTMEN = 0) and (MOD = 0x0000 or MOD = 0xFFFF), the FTM counter is a free
running counter. In this case, the FTM counter runs free from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF
and the TOF bit is set when the FTM counter changes from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. See the

40.4.3.4 Counter reset
Any one of the following cases resets the FTM counter to the value in the CNTIN register
and the channels output to its initial value, except for channels in Output Compare mode.
• Any write to CNT.
• FTM counter synchronization.

40.4.3.5 When the TOF bit is set
The NUMTOF[4:0] bits define the number of times that the FTM counter overflow
should occur before the TOF bit to be set. If NUMTOF[4:0] = 0x00, then the TOF bit is
set at each FTM counter overflow.
Initialize the FTM counter, by writing to CNT, after writing to the NUMTOF[4:0] bits to
avoid confusion about when the first counter overflow will occur.

40.4.4 Input Capture mode
The Input Capture mode is selected when:
•
•
•
•
•

DECAPEN = 0
COMBINE = 0
CPWMS = 0
MSnB:MSnA = 0:0, and
ELSnB:ELSnA ≠ 0:0

When a selected edge occurs on the channel input, the current value of the FTM counter
is captured into the CnV register, at the same time the CHnF bit is set and the channel
interrupt is generated if enabled by CHnIE = 1. See the following figure.
When a channel is configured for input capture, the FTMxCHn pin is an edge-sensitive
input. ELSnB:ELSnA control bits determine which edge, falling or rising, triggers inputcapture event. Note that the maximum frequency for the channel input signal to be
detected correctly is system clock divided by 4, which is required to meet Nyquist criteria
for signal sampling.
Writes to the CnV register is ignored in Input Capture mode.
While in BDM, the input capture function works as configured. When a selected edge
event occurs, the FTM counter value, which is frozen because of BDM, is captured into
the CnV register and the CHnF bit is set.

Functional description

If the channel input does not have a filter enabled, then the input signal is always delayed
3 rising edges of the system clock, that is, two rising edges to the synchronizer plus one
more rising edge to the edge detector. In other words, the CHnF bit is set on the third
rising edge of the system clock after a valid edge occurs on the channel input.
Note
The Input Capture mode must be used only with CNTIN =
0x0000.

40.4.4.1 Filter for Input Capture mode
The filter function is only available on channels 0, 1, 2, and 3.
First, the input signal is synchronized by the system clock. Following synchronization,
the input signal enters the filter block. See the following figure.

When there is a state change in the input signal, the counter is reset and starts counting
up. As long as the new state is stable on the input, the counter continues to increment.
When the counter is equal to CHnFVAL[3:0], the state change of the input signal is
validated. It is then transmitted as a pulse edge to the edge detector.
If the opposite edge appears on the input signal before it can be validated, the counter is
reset. At the next input transition, the counter starts counting again. Any pulse that is
shorter than the minimum value selected by CHnFVAL[3:0] (× 4 system clocks) is
regarded as a glitch and is not passed on to the edge detector. A timing diagram of the
input filter is shown in the following figure.
The filter function is disabled when CHnFVAL[3:0] bits are zero. In this case, the input
signal is delayed 3 rising edges of the system clock. If (CHnFVAL[3:0] ≠ 0000), then the
input signal is delayed by the minimum pulse width (CHnFVAL[3:0] × 4 system clocks)
plus a further 4 rising edges of the system clock: two rising edges to the synchronizer,

one rising edge to the filter output, plus one more to the edge detector. In other words,
CHnF is set (4 + 4 × CHnFVAL[3:0]) system clock periods after a valid edge occurs on
the channel input.
The clock for the counter in the channel input filter is the system clock divided by 4.

40.4.5 Output Compare mode
The Output Compare mode is selected when:
•
•
•
•

DECAPEN = 0
COMBINE = 0
CPWMS = 0, and
MSnB:MSnA = 0:1

In Output Compare mode, the FTM can generate timed pulses with programmable
position, polarity, duration, and frequency. When the counter matches the value in the
CnV register of an output compare channel, the channel (n) output can be set, cleared, or
toggled.
When a channel is initially configured to Toggle mode, the previous value of the channel
output is held until the first output compare event occurs.
The CHnF bit is set and the channel (n) interrupt is generated if CHnIE = 1 at the channel
(n) match (FTM counter = CnV).

40.4.6 Edge-Aligned PWM (EPWM) mode
The Edge-Aligned mode is selected when:
•
•
•
•
•

QUADEN = 0
DECAPEN = 0
COMBINE = 0
CPWMS = 0, and
MSnB = 1

The EPWM period is determined by (MOD − CNTIN + 0x0001) and the pulse width
(duty cycle) is determined by (CnV − CNTIN).
The CHnF bit is set and the channel (n) interrupt is generated if CHnIE = 1 at the channel
(n) match (FTM counter = CnV), that is, at the end of the pulse width.
This type of PWM signal is called edge-aligned because the leading edges of all PWM
signals are aligned with the beginning of the period, which is the same for all channels
within an FTM.

If (CnV = 0x0000), then the channel (n) output is a 0% duty cycle EPWM signal and
CHnF bit is not set even when there is the channel (n) match. If (CnV > MOD), then the
channel (n) output is a 100% duty cycle EPWM signal and CHnF bit is not set even when
there is the channel (n) match. Therefore, MOD must be less than 0xFFFF in order to get
a 100% duty cycle EPWM signal.
Note
The EPWM mode must be used only with CNTIN = 0x0000.

40.4.7 Center-Aligned PWM (CPWM) mode
The Center-Aligned mode is selected when:
•
•
•
•

QUADEN = 0

CPWMS = 1
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

1016

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 40 FlexTimer Module (FTM)

The CPWM pulse width (duty cycle) is determined by 2 × (CnV − CNTIN) and the
period is determined by 2 × (MOD − CNTIN). See the following figure. MOD must be
kept in the range of 0x0001 to 0x7FFF because values outside this range can produce
ambiguous results.
In the CPWM mode, the FTM counter counts up until it reaches MOD and then counts
down until it reaches CNTIN.
The CHnF bit is set and channel (n) interrupt is generated (if CHnIE = 1) at the channel
(n) match (FTM counter = CnV) when the FTM counting is down (at the begin of the
pulse width) and when the FTM counting is up (at the end of the pulse width).
This type of PWM signal is called center-aligned because the pulse width centers for all
channels are aligned with the value of CNTIN.
The other channel modes are not compatible with the up-down counter (CPWMS = 1).
Therefore, all FTM channels must be used in CPWM mode when (CPWMS = 1).

If (CnV = 0x0000) or CnV is a negative value, that is (CnV[15] = 1), then the channel (n)
output is a 0% duty cycle CPWM signal and CHnF bit is not set even when there is the
channel (n) match.
If CnV is a positive value, that is (CnV[15] = 0), (CnV ≥ MOD), and (MOD ≠ 0x0000),
then the channel (n) output is a 100% duty cycle CPWM signal and CHnF bit is not set
even when there is the channel (n) match. This implies that the usable range of periods
set by MOD is 0x0001 through 0x7FFE, 0x7FFF if you do not need to generate a 100%
duty cycle CPWM signal. This is not a significant limitation because the resulting period
is much longer than required for normal applications.
The CPWM mode must not be used when the FTM counter is a free running counter.
Note
The CPWM mode must be used only with CNTIN = 0x0000.

40.4.8 Combine mode
The Combine mode is selected when:
•
•
•
•
•

FTMEN = 1
QUADEN = 0
DECAPEN = 0
COMBINE = 1, and
CPWMS = 0

In Combine mode, an even channel (n) and adjacent odd channel (n+1) are combined to
generate a PWM signal in the channel (n) output.
In the Combine mode, the PWM period is determined by (MOD − CNTIN + 0x0001) and
the PWM pulse width (duty cycle) is determined by (|C(n+1)V − C(n)V|).
The CHnF bit is set and the channel (n) interrupt is generated (if CHnIE = 1) at the
channel (n) match (FTM counter = C(n)V). The CH(n+1)F bit is set and the channel (n
+1) interrupt is generated, if CH(n+1)IE = 1, at the channel (n+1) match (FTM counter =
C(n+1)V).
If (ELSnB:ELSnA = 1:0), then the channel (n) output is forced low at the beginning of
the period (FTM counter = CNTIN) and at the channel (n+1) match (FTM counter = C(n
+1)V). It is forced high at the channel (n) match (FTM counter = C(n)V). See the
following figure.
If (ELSnB:ELSnA = X:1), then the channel (n) output is forced high at the beginning of
the period (FTM counter = CNTIN) and at the channel (n+1) match (FTM counter = C(n
+1)V). It is forced low at the channel (n) match (FTM counter = C(n)V). See the
following figure.
In Combine mode, the ELS(n+1)B and ELS(n+1)A bits are not used in the generation of
the channels (n) and (n+1) output. However, if (ELSnB:ELSnA = 0:0) then the channel
(n) output is not controlled by FTM, and if (ELS(n+1)B:ELS(n+1)A = 0:0) then the
channel (n+1) output is not controlled by FTM.

40.4.8.1 Asymmetrical PWM
In Combine mode, the control of the PWM signal first edge, when the channel (n) match
occurs, that is, FTM counter = C(n)V, is independent of the control of the PWM signal
second edge, when the channel (n+1) match occurs, that is, FTM counter = C(n+1)V. So,
Combine mode allows the generation of asymmetrical PWM signals.

•
•
•
•
•
•

CPWMS = 0, and
COMP = 1

In Complementary mode, the channel (n+1) output is the inverse of the channel (n)
output.
So, the channel (n+1) output is the same as the channel (n) output when:
• FTMEN = 1
• QUADEN = 0

According to the selected mode, that is:

• If the selected mode is Output Compare, then CnV register is updated on the
next FTM counter change, end of the prescaler counting, after CnV register
was written.
• If the selected mode is EPWM, then CnV register is updated after CnV
register was written and the FTM counter changes from MOD to CNTIN. If
the FTM counter is at free-running counter mode then this update occurs
when the FTM counter changes from 0xFFFF to 0x0000.
• If the selected mode is CPWM, then CnV register is updated after CnV

• If the selected mode is output compare then CnV register is updated
according to the SYNCEN bit. If (SYNCEN = 0) then CnV register is updated
after CnV register was written at the next change of the FTM counter, the
end of the prescaler counting. If (SYNCEN = 1) then CnV register is updated
by the C(n)V and C(n+1)V register synchronization.

40.4.11 PWM synchronization
The PWM synchronization provides an opportunity to update the MOD, CNTIN, CnV,
OUTMASK, INVCTRL and SWOCTRL registers with their buffered value and force the
FTM counter to the CNTIN register value.
Note
• The PWM synchronization must be used only in Combine
mode.
• The legacy PWM synchronization (SYNCMODE = 0) is a
subset of the enhanced PWM synchronization
(SYNCMODE = 1). Thus, only the enhanced PWM
synchronization must be used.

40.4.11.1 Hardware trigger
Three hardware trigger signal inputs of the FTM module are enabled when TRIGn = 1,
where n = 0, 1 or 2 corresponding to each one of the input signals, respectively. The
hardware trigger input n is synchronized by the system clock. The PWM synchronization
with hardware trigger is initiated when a rising edge is detected at the enabled hardware
trigger inputs.
If (HWTRIGMODE = 0) then the TRIGn bit is cleared when 0 is written to it or when the
trigger n event is detected.
In this case, if two or more hardware triggers are enabled (for example, TRIG0 and
TRIG1 = 1) and only trigger 1 event occurs, then only TRIG1 bit is cleared. If a trigger n
event occurs together with a write setting TRIGn bit, then the synchronization is initiated,
but TRIGn bit remains set due to the write operation.

Figure 40-246. Hardware trigger event with HWTRIGMODE = 0

If HWTRIGMODE = 1, then the TRIGn bit is only cleared when 0 is written to it.
NOTE
The HWTRIGMODE bit must be 1 only with enhanced PWM
synchronization (SYNCMODE = 1).

40.4.11.2 Software trigger
A software trigger event occurs when 1 is written to the SYNC[SWSYNC] bit. The
SWSYNC bit is cleared when 0 is written to it or when the PWM synchronization,
initiated by the software event, is completed.
If another software trigger event occurs (by writing another 1 to the SWSYNC bit) at the
same time the PWM synchronization initiated by the previous software trigger event is
ending, a new PWM synchronization is started and the SWSYNC bit remains equal to 1.
If SYNCMODE = 0 then the SWSYNC bit is also cleared by FTM according to
PWMSYNC and REINIT bits. In this case if (PWMSYNC = 1) or (PWMSYNC = 0 and
REINIT = 0) then SWSYNC bit is cleared at the next selected loading point after that the
software trigger event occurred; see Boundary cycle and loading points and the following
figure. If (PWMSYNC = 0) and (REINIT = 1) then SWSYNC bit is cleared when the
software trigger event occurs.
If SYNCMODE = 1 then the SWSYNC bit is also cleared by FTM according to the
SWRSTCNT bit. If SWRSTCNT = 0 then SWSYNC bit is cleared at the next selected
loading point after that the software trigger event occurred; see the following figure. If
SWRSTCNT = 1 then SWSYNC bit is cleared when the software trigger event occurs.

40.4.11.3 Boundary cycle and loading points
The boundary cycle definition is important for the loading points for the registers MOD,
CNTIN, and C(n)V.
In Up counting mode, the boundary cycle is defined as when the counter wraps to its
initial value (CNTIN). If in Up-down counting mode, then the boundary cycle is defined
as when the counter turns from down to up counting and when from up to down counting.
The following figure shows the boundary cycles and the loading points for the registers.
In the Up Counting mode, the loading points are enabled if one of CNTMIN or CTMAX
bits are 1. In the Up-Down Counting mode, the loading points are selected by CNTMIN
and CNTMAX bits, as indicated in the figure. These loading points are safe places for
register updates thus allowing a smooth transitions in PWM waveform generation.
For both counting modes, if neither CNTMIN nor CNTMAX are 1, then the boundary
cycles are not used as loading points for registers updates. See the register
synchronization descriptions in the following sections for details.

The MOD register synchronization can be done by either the enhanced PWM

= 0). However, it is expected that the MOD register be synchronized only by the
enhanced PWM synchronization.

40.4.11.5 CNTIN register synchronization
The CNTIN register synchronization updates the CNTIN register with its buffer value.
This synchronization is enabled if (FTMEN = 1), (SYNCMODE = 1), and (CNTINC =

The C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers synchronization updates the C(n)V and C(n+1)V

This synchronization is enabled if (FTMEN = 1) and (SYNCEN = 1). The

it is expected that the C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers be synchronized only by the

40.4.11.10 FTM counter synchronization
The FTM counter synchronization is a mechanism that allows the FTM to restart the
PWM generation at a certain point in the PWM period. The channels outputs are forced
to their initial value, except for channels in Output Compare mode, and the FTM counter
is forced to its initial counting value defined by CNTIN register.
The following figure shows the FTM counter synchronization. Note that after the
synchronization event occurs, the channel (n) is set to its initial value and the channel (n
+1) is not set to its initial value due to a specific timing of this figure in which the
deadtime insertion prevents this channel output from transitioning to 1. If no deadtime
insertion is selected, then the channel (n+1) transitions to logical value 1 immediately
after the synchronization event occurs.

description in the Status and Control register).

40.4.14 Deadtime insertion
The deadtime insertion is enabled when (DTEN = 1) and (DTVAL[5:0] is non- zero).
DEADTIME register defines the deadtime delay that can be used for all FTM channels.
The DTPS[1:0] bits define the prescaler for the system clock and the DTVAL[5:0] bits
define the deadtime modulo, that is, the number of the deadtime prescaler clocks.
The deadtime delay insertion ensures that no two complementary signals (channels (n)
and (n+1)) drive the active state at the same time.
If POL(n) = 0, POL(n+1) = 0, and the deadtime is enabled, then when the channel (n)
match (FTM counter = C(n)V) occurs, the channel (n) output remains at the low value
until the end of the deadtime delay when the channel (n) output is set. Similarly, when the
channel (n+1) match (FTM counter = C(n+1)V) occurs, the channel (n+1) output remains
at the low value until the end of the deadtime delay when the channel (n+1) output is set.
See the following figures.

40.4.14.1 Deadtime insertion corner cases
If (PS[2:0] is cleared), (DTPS[1:0] = 0:0 or DTPS[1:0] = 0:1):
• and the deadtime delay is greater than or equal to the channel (n) duty cycle ((C(n
+1)V – C(n)V) × system clock), then the channel (n) output is always the inactive
value (POL(n) bit value).
• and the deadtime delay is greater than or equal to the channel (n+1) duty cycle
((MOD – CNTIN + 1 – (C(n+1)V – C(n)V) ) × system clock), then the channel (n+1)
output is always the inactive value (POL(n+1) bit value).
Although, in most cases the deadtime delay is not comparable to channels (n) and (n+1)
duty cycle, the following figures show examples where the deadtime delay is comparable
to the duty cycle.

40.4.15 Output mask
The output mask can be used to force channels output to their inactive state through
software. For example: to control a BLDC motor.
Any write to the OUTMASK register updates its write buffer. The OUTMASK register is
updated with its buffer value by PWM synchronization; see OUTMASK register
synchronization.
If CHnOM = 1, then the channel (n) output is forced to its inactive state (POLn bit value).
If CHnOM = 0, then the channel (n) output is unaffected by the output mask. See the
following figure.

40.4.16 Fault control
The fault control is enabled if (FTMEN = 1) and (FAULTM[1:0] ≠ 0:0).
FTM can have up to four fault inputs. FAULTnEN bit (where n = 0, 1, 2, 3) enables the
fault input n and FFLTRnEN bit enables the fault input n filter. FFVAL[3:0] bits select
the value of the enabled filter in each enabled fault input.
First, each fault input signal is synchronized by the system clock; see the synchronizer
block in the following figure. Following synchronization, the fault input n signal enters
the filter block. When there is a state change in the fault input n signal, the 5-bit counter

Functional description

is reset and starts counting up. As long as the new state is stable on the fault input n, the
counter continues to increment. If the 5-bit counter overflows, that is, the counter exceeds
the value of the FFVAL[3:0] bits, the new fault input n value is validated. It is then
transmitted as a pulse edge to the edge detector.
If the opposite edge appears on the fault input n signal before validation (counter
overflow), the counter is reset. At the next input transition, the counter starts counting
again. Any pulse that is shorter than the minimum value selected by FFVAL[3:0] bits (×
system clock) is regarded as a glitch and is not passed on to the edge detector.
The fault input n filter is disabled when the FFVAL[3:0] bits are zero or when
FAULTnEN = 0. In this case, the fault input n signal is delayed 2 rising edges of the
system clock and the FAULTFn bit is set on 3th rising edge of the system clock after a
rising edge occurs on the fault input n.
If FFVAL[3:0] ≠ 0000 and FAULTnEN = 1, then the fault input n signal is delayed (3 +
FFVAL[3:0]) rising edges of the system clock, that is, the FAULTFn bit is set (4 +
FFVAL[3:0]) rising edges of the system clock after a rising edge occurs on the fault input
n.

Chapter 40 FlexTimer Module (FTM)

If the fault control is enabled (FAULTM[1:0] ≠ 0:0), a fault condition has occurred and
(FAULTEN = 1), then outputs are forced to their safe values:
• Channel (n) output takes the value of POL(n)
• Channel (n+1) takes the value of POL(n+1)
The fault interrupt is generated when (FAULTF = 1) and (FAULTIE = 1). This interrupt
request remains set until:
• Software clears the FAULTF bit by reading FAULTF bit as 1 and writing 0 to it
• Software clears the FAULTIE bit
• A reset occurs
Note
The fault control must be used only in Combine mode.

40.4.16.1 Automatic fault clearing
If the automatic fault clearing is selected (FAULTM[1:0] = 1:1), then the channels output
disabled by fault control is again enabled when the fault input signal (FAULTIN) returns
to zero and a new PWM cycle begins. See the following figure.

40.4.16.3 Fault inputs polarity control
The FLTjPOL bit selects the fault input j polarity, where j = 0, 1, 2, 3:
• If FLTjPOL = 0, the fault j input polarity is high, so the logical one at the fault input j
indicates a fault.
• If FLTjPOL = 1, the fault j input polarity is low, so the logical zero at the fault input j
indicates a fault.

40.4.17 Polarity control
The POLn bit selects the channel (n) output polarity:

• If POLn = 0, the channel (n) output polarity is high, so the logical one is the active
state and the logical zero is the inactive state.
• If POLn = 1, the channel (n) output polarity is low, so the logical zero is the active
state and the logical one is the inactive state.
Note
The polarity control must be used only in Combine mode.

40.4.18 Initialization
The initialization forces the CHnOI bit value to the channel (n) output when a one is
written to the INIT bit.
The initialization depends on COMP and DTEN bits. The following table shows the

The channel trigger output provides a trigger signal that is used for on-chip modules.

40.4.22 Capture Test mode
The Capture Test mode allows to test the CnV registers, the FTM counter and the
interconnection logic between the FTM counter and CnV registers.
In this test mode, all channels must be configured for Input Capture mode and FTM
counter must be configured to the Up counting.
When the Capture Test mode is enabled (CAPTEST = 1), the FTM counter is frozen and
any write to CNT register updates directly the FTM counter; see the following figure.
After it was written, all CnV registers are updated with the written value to CNT register
and CHnF bits are set. Therefore, the FTM counter is updated with its next value
according to its configuration. Its next value depends on CNTIN, MOD, and the written
value to FTM counter.
The next reads of CnV registers return the written value to the FTM counter and the next
reads of CNT register return FTM counter next value.

set and the channel (n) interrupt is generated (if CH(n)IE = 1). If the selected edge by
channel (n+1) bits is detected at channel (n) input and (CH(n)F = 1), then CH(n+1)F bit is
set and the channel (n+1) interrupt is generated (if CH(n+1)IE = 1).

Functional description

The C(n)V register stores the value of FTM counter when the selected edge by channel
(n) is detected at channel (n) input. The C(n+1)V register stores the value of FTM
counter when the selected edge by channel (n+1) is detected at channel (n) input.
In this mode, a coherency mechanism ensures coherent data when the C(n)V and C(n
+1)V registers are read. The only requirement is that C(n)V must be read before C(n
+1)V.
Note
• The CH(n)F, CH(n)IE, MS(n)A, ELS(n)B, and ELS(n)A
bits are channel (n) bits.
• The CH(n+1)F, CH(n+1)IE, MS(n+1)A, ELS(n+1)B, and
ELS(n+1)A bits are channel (n+1) bits.
• The Dual Edge Capture mode must be used with
ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A = 0:1 or 1:0, ELS(n+1)B:ELS(n+1)A =
0:1 or 1:0 and the FTM counter in Free running counter.

40.4.24.1 One-Shot Capture mode
The One-Shot Capture mode is selected when (FTMEN = 1), (DECAPEN = 1), and
(MS(n)A = 0). In this capture mode, only one pair of edges at the channel (n) input is
captured. The ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A bits select the first edge to be captured, and ELS(n
+1)B:ELS(n+1)A bits select the second edge to be captured.
The edge captures are enabled while DECAP bit is set. For each new measurement in
One-Shot Capture mode, first the CH(n)F and CH(n+1) bits must be cleared, and then the
DECAP bit must be set.
In this mode, the DECAP bit is automatically cleared by FTM when the edge selected by
channel (n+1) is captured. Therefore, while DECAP bit is set, the one-shot capture is in
process. When this bit is cleared, both edges were captured and the captured values are
ready for reading in the C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers.
Similarly, when the CH(n+1)F bit is set, both edges were captured and the captured
values are ready for reading in the C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers.

40.4.24.2 Continuous Capture mode
The Continuous Capture mode is selected when (FTMEN = 1), (DECAPEN = 1), and
(MS(n)A = 1). In this capture mode, the edges at the channel (n) input are captured
continuously. The ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A bits select the initial edge to be captured, and
ELS(n+1)B:ELS(n+1)A bits select the final edge to be captured.
The edge captures are enabled while DECAP bit is set. For the initial use, first the
CH(n)F and CH(n+1)F bits must be cleared, and then DECAP bit must be set to start the
continuous measurements.
When the CH(n+1)F bit is set, both edges were captured and the captured values are
ready for reading in the C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers. The latest captured values are
always available in these registers even after the DECAP bit is cleared.
In this mode, it is possible to clear only the CH(n+1)F bit. Therefore, when the CH(n+1)F
bit is set again, the latest captured values are available in C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers.
For a new sequence of the measurements in the Dual Edge Capture – Continuous mode,
clear the CH(n)F and CH(n+1)F bits to start new measurements.

40.4.24.3 Pulse width measurement
If the channel (n) is configured to capture rising edges (ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A = 0:1) and the
channel (n+1) to capture falling edges (ELS(n+1)B:ELS(n+1)A = 1:0), then the positive
polarity pulse width is measured. If the channel (n) is configured to capture falling edges
(ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A = 1:0) and the channel (n+1) to capture rising edges (ELS(n
+1)B:ELS(n+1)A = 0:1), then the negative polarity pulse width is measured.
The pulse width measurement can be made in One-Shot Capture mode or Continuous
Capture mode.
The following figure shows an example of the Dual Edge Capture – One-Shot mode used
to measure the positive polarity pulse width. The DECAPEN bit selects the Dual Edge
Capture mode, so it remains set. The DECAP bit is set to enable the measurement of next
positive polarity pulse width. The CH(n)F bit is set when the first edge of this pulse is
detected, that is, the edge selected by ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A bits. The CH(n+1)F bit is set
and DECAP bit is cleared when the second edge of this pulse is detected, that is, the edge
selected by ELS(n+1)B:ELS(n+1)A bits. Both DECAP and CH(n+1)F bits indicate when
two edges of the pulse were captured and the C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers are ready for
reading.

40.4.24.4 Period measurement
If the channels (n) and (n+1) are configured to capture consecutive edges of the same
polarity, then the period of the channel (n) input signal is measured. If both channels (n)
and (n+1) are configured to capture rising edges (ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A = 0:1 and ELS(n

two consecutive rising edges

40.4.24.5 Read coherency mechanism
The Dual Edge Capture mode implements a read coherency mechanism between the
FTM counter value captured in C(n)V and C(n+1)V registers. The read coherency
mechanism is illustrated in the following figure. In this example, the channels (n) and (n
+1) are in Dual Edge Capture – Continuous mode for positive polarity pulse width
measurement. Thus, the channel (n) is configured to capture the FTM counter value when
there is a rising edge at channel (n) input signal, and channel (n+1) to capture the FTM
counter value when there is a falling edge at channel (n) input signal.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1069

Functional description

When a rising edge occurs in the channel (n) input signal, the FTM counter value is
captured into channel (n) capture buffer. The channel (n) capture buffer value is
transferred to C(n)V register when a falling edge occurs in the channel (n) input signal.
C(n)V register has the FTM counter value when the previous rising edge occurred, and
the channel (n) capture buffer has the FTM counter value when the last rising edge
occurred.
When a falling edge occurs in the channel (n) input signal, the FTM counter value is
captured into channel (n+1) capture buffer. The channel (n+1) capture buffer value is
transferred to C(n+1)V register when the C(n)V register is read.
In the following figure, the read of C(n)V returns the FTM counter value when the event
1 occurred and the read of C(n+1)V returns the FTM counter value when the event 2
occurred.

40.4.25 Quadrature Decoder mode
The Quadrature Decoder mode is selected if (FTMEN = 1) and (QUADEN = 1). The

Figure 40-291. Quadrature Decoder block diagram

Each one of input signals phase A and B has a filter that is equivalent to the filter used in
the channels input; Filter for Input Capture mode. The phase A input filter is enabled by
PHAFLTREN bit and this filter’s value is defined by CH0FVAL[3:0] bits
(CH(n)FVAL[3:0] bits in FILTER0 register). The phase B input filter is enabled by
PHBFLTREN bit and this filter’s value is defined by CH1FVAL[3:0] bits (CH(n
+1)FVAL[3:0] bits in FILTER0 register).
Except for CH0FVAL[3:0] and CH1FVAL[3:0] bits, no channel logic is used in
Quadrature Decoder mode.
Note
Notice that the FTM counter is clocked by the phase A and B
input signals when quadrature decoder mode is selected.
Therefore it is expected that the Quadrature Decoder be used
only with the FTM channels in input capture or output compare
modes.
The PHAPOL bit selects the polarity of the phase A input, and the PHBPOL bit selects
the polarity of the phase B input.
The QUADMODE selects the encoding mode used in the Quadrature Decoder mode. If
QUADMODE = 1, then the count and direction encoding mode is enabled; see the
following figure. In this mode, the phase B input value indicates the counting direction,
and the phase A input defines the counting rate. The FTM counter is updated when there
is a rising edge at phase A input signal.

counter is updated when there is an edge either at the phase A or phase B signals.
If PHAPOL = 0 and PHBPOL = 0, then the FTM counter increment happens when:
• there is a rising edge at phase A signal and phase B signal is at logic zero;
• there is a rising edge at phase B signal and phase A signal is at logic one;
• there is a falling edge at phase B signal and phase A signal is at logic zero;
• there is a falling edge at phase A signal and phase B signal is at logic one;
and the FTM counter decrement happens when:

• there is a falling edge at phase B signal and phase A signal is at logic one;
• there is a rising edge at phase B signal and phase A signal is at logic zero;

The first highlighted transition causes a jitter on the FTM counter value near the
maximum count value (MOD). The second indicated transition occurs on phase A and
causes the FTM counter transition between the maximum and minimum count values
which are defined by MOD and CNTIN registers.
The appropriate settings of the phase A and phase B input filters are important to avoid
glitches that may cause oscillation on the FTM counter value. The preceding figures
show examples of oscillations that can be caused by poor input filter setup. Thus, it is
important to guarantee a minimum pulse width to avoid these oscillations.

40.4.26 BDM mode
When the chip is in BDM mode, the BDMMODE[1:0] bits select the behavior of the
FTM counter, the CH(n)F bit, the channels output, and the writes to the MOD, CNTIN,

Note that if BDMMODE[1:0] = 2’b00 then the channels outputs remain at the value
when the chip enters in BDM mode, because the FTM counter is stopped. However, the
following situations modify the channels outputs in this BDM mode.
• Write any value to CNT register; see Counter reset. In this case, the FTM counter is
updated with the CNTIN register value and the channels outputs are updated to the
initial value – except for those channels set to Output Compare mode.
• FTM counter is reset by PWM Synchronization mode; see FTM counter
synchronization. In this case, the FTM counter is updated with the CNTIN register
value and the channels outputs are updated to the initial value – except for channels
in Output Compare mode.
• In the channels outputs initialization, the channel (n) output is forced to the CH(n)OI
bit value when the value 1 is written to INIT bit. See Initialization.
Note
The BDMMODE[1:0] = 2’b00 must not be used with the Fault
control. Even if the fault control is enabled and a fault condition
exists, the channels outputs values are updated as above.

40.4.27 Intermediate load
The PWMLOAD register allows to update the MOD, CNTIN, and C(n)V registers with
the content of the register buffer at a defined load point. In this case, it is not required to
use the PWM synchronization.

NOTE
If ELSjB and ELSjA bits are different from zero, then the
channel (j) output signal is generated according to the
configured output mode. If ELSjB and ELSjA bits are zero,
then the generated signal is not available on channel (j)
output.
If CHjIE = 1, then the channel (j) interrupt is generated
when the channel (j) match occurs.
At the intermediate load neither the channels outputs nor
the FTM counter are changed. Software must set the
intermediate load at a safe point in time.
The intermediate load feature must be used only in
Combine mode.

40.4.28 Global time base (GTB)
The global time base (GTB) is a FTM function that allows the synchronization of
multiple FTM modules on a chip. The following figure shows an example of the GTB
feature used to synchronize two FTM modules. In this case, the FTM A and B channels
can behave as if just one FTM module was used, that is, a global time base.

Figure 40-299. Global time base (GTB) block diagram

The GTB functionality is implemented by the GTBEEN and GTBEOUT bits in the
CONF register, the input signal gtb_in, and the output signal gtb_out. The GTBEEN bit
enables gtb_in to control the FTM counter enable signal:
• If GTBEEN = 0, each one of FTM modules works independently according to their
configured mode.
• If GTBEEN = 1, the FTM counter update is enabled only when gtb_in is 1.

Chapter 40 FlexTimer Module (FTM)

In the configuration described in the preceding figure, FTM modules A and B have their
FTM counters enabled if at least one of the gtb_out signals from one of the FTM modules
is 1. There are several possible configurations for the interconnection of the gtb_in and
gtb_out signals, represented by the example glue logic shown in the figure. Note that
these configurations are chip-dependent and implemented outside of the FTM modules.
See the chip configuration details for the chip's specific implementation.
NOTE
• In order to use the GTB signals to synchronize the FTM
counter of different FTM modules, the configuration of
each FTM module should guarantee that its FTM counter
starts counting as soon as the gtb_in signal is 1.
• The GTB feature does not provide continuous
synchronization of FTM counters, meaning that the FTM
counters may lose synchronization during FTM operation.
The GTB feature only allows the FTM counters to start
their operation synchronously.

40.4.28.1 Enabling the global time base (GTB)
To enable the GTB feature, follow these steps for each participating FTM module:
1. Stop the FTM counter: Write 00b to SC[CLKS].
2. Program the FTM to the intended configuration. The FTM counter mode needs to be
consistent across all participating modules.
3. Write 1 to CONF[GTBEEN] and write 0 to CONF[GTBEOUT] at the same time.
4. Select the intended FTM counter clock source in SC[CLKS]. The clock source needs
to be consistent across all participating modules.
5. Reset the FTM counter: Write any value to the CNT register.
To initiate the GTB feature in the configuration described in the preceding figure, write 1
to CONF[GTBEOUT] in the FTM module used as the time base.

40.5 Reset overview
The FTM is reset whenever any chip reset occurs.
When the FTM exits from reset:
• the FTM counter and the prescaler counter are zero and are stopped (CLKS[1:0] =
00b);
• the timer overflow interrupt is zero, see Timer Overflow Interrupt;

the channels interrupts are zero, see Channel (n) Interrupt;
the fault interrupt is zero, see Fault Interrupt;
the channels are in input capture mode, see Input Capture mode;
the channels outputs are zero;
the channels pins are not controlled by FTM (ELS(n)B:ELS(n)A = 0:0) (See the table
in the description of CnSC register).

The following figure shows the FTM behavior after the reset. At the reset (item 1), the
FTM counter is disabled (see the description of the CLKS field in the Status and Control
register), its value is updated to zero and the pins are not controlled by FTM (See the
table in the description of CnSC register).
After the reset, the FTM should be configurated (item 2). It is necessary to define the
FTM counter mode, the FTM counting limits (MOD and CNTIN registers value), the
channels mode and CnV registers value according to the channels mode.
Thus, it is recommended to write any value to CNT register (item 3). This write updates
the FTM counter with the CNTIN register value and the channels output with its initial
value (except for channels in output compare mode) (Counter reset).
The next step is to select the FTM counter clock by the CLKS[1:0] bits (item 4). It is
important to highlight that the pins are only controlled by FTM when CLKS[1:0] bits are
different from zero (See the table in the description of CnSC register).

Functional description

41.4.1.1 Timers
The timers generate triggers at periodic intervals, when enabled. The timers load the start
values as specified in their LDVAL registers, count down to 0 and then load the
respective start value again. Each time a timer reaches 0, it will generate a trigger pulse
and set the interrupt flag.
All interrupts can be enabled or masked by setting TCTRLn[TIE]. A new interrupt can be
generated only after the previous one is cleared.
If desired, the current counter value of the timer can be read via the CVAL registers.
The counter period can be restarted, by first disabling, and then enabling the timer with
TCTRLn[TEN]. See the following figure.

41.4.1.2 Debug mode
In Debug mode, the timers will be frozen based on MCR[FRZ]. This is intended to aid
software development, allowing the developer to halt the processor, investigate the
current state of the system, for example, the timer values, and then continue the
operation.

41.4.2 Interrupts
All the timers support interrupt generation. See the MCU specification for related vector
addresses and priorities.
Timer interrupts can be enabled by setting TCTRLn[TIE]. TFLGn[TIF] are set to 1 when
a timeout occurs on the associated timer, and are cleared to 0 by writing a 1 to the
corresponding TFLGn[TIF].

41.4.3 Chained timers
When a timer has chain mode enabled, it will only count after the previous timer has
expired. So if timer n-1 has counted down to 0, counter n will decrement the value by
one. This allows to chain some of the timers together to form a longer timer. The first
timer (timer 0) cannot be chained to any other timer.

41.5 Initialization and application information
In the example configuration:
• The PIT clock has a frequency of 50 MHz.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Example configuration for chained timers

• Timer 1 creates an interrupt every 5.12 ms.
• Timer 3 creates a trigger event every 30 ms.
The PIT module must be activated by writing a 0 to MCR[MDIS].
The 50 MHz clock frequency equates to a clock period of 20 ns. Timer 1 needs to trigger
every 5.12 ms/20 ns = 256,000 cycles and Timer 3 every 30 ms/20 ns = 1,500,000 cycles.
The value for the LDVAL register trigger is calculated as:
LDVAL trigger = (period / clock period) -1
This means LDVAL1 and LDVAL3 must be written with 0x0003E7FF and 0x0016E35F
respectively.
The interrupt for Timer 1 is enabled by setting TCTRL1[TIE]. The timer is started by
writing 1 to TCTRL1[TEN].
Timer 3 shall be used only for triggering. Therefore, Timer 3 is started by writing a 1 to
TCTRL3[TEN]. TCTRL3[TIE] stays at 0.
The following example code matches the described setup:
// turn on PIT
PIT_MCR = 0x00;
// Timer 1
PIT_LDVAL1 = 0x0003E7FF; // setup timer 1 for 256000 cycles
PIT_TCTRL1 = TIE; // enable Timer 1 interrupts
PIT_TCTRL1 |= TEN; // start Timer 1
// Timer 3
PIT_LDVAL3 = 0x0016E35F; // setup timer 3 for 1500000 cycles
PIT_TCTRL3 |= TEN; // start Timer 3

41.6 Example configuration for chained timers
In the example configuration:
• The PIT clock has a frequency of 100 MHz.
• Timers 1 and 2 are available.
• An interrupt shall be raised every 1 hour.
The PIT module needs to be activated by writing a 0 to MCR[MDIS].

Chapter 41 Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT)

The 100 MHz clock frequency equates to a clock period of 10 ns, so the PIT needs to
count for 6000 million cycles, which is more than a single timer can do. So, Timer 1 is
set up to trigger every 6 s (600 million cycles). Timer 2 is chained to Timer 1 and
programmed to trigger 10 times.
The value for the LDVAL register trigger is calculated as number of cycles-1, so
LDVAL1 receives the value 0x23C345FF and LDVAL2 receives the value 0x00000009.
The interrupt for Timer 2 is enabled by setting TCTRL2[TIE], the Chain mode is
activated by setting TCTRL2[CHN], and the timer is started by writing a 1 to
TCTRL2[TEN]. TCTRL1[TEN] needs to be set, and TCTRL1[CHN] and TCTRL1[TIE]
are cleared.
The following example code matches the described setup:
// turn on PIT
PIT_MCR = 0x00;
// Timer 2

Low-Power Timer (LPTMR)
42.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The low-power timer (LPTMR) can be configured to operate as a time counter with
optional prescaler, or as a pulse counter with optional glitch filter, across all power
modes, including the low-leakage modes. It can also continue operating through most
system reset events, allowing it to be used as a time of day counter.

42.1.1 Features
The features of the LPTMR module include:
• 16-bit time counter or pulse counter with compare
• Optional interrupt can generate asynchronous wakeup from any low-power mode
• Hardware trigger output
• Counter supports free-running mode or reset on compare
• Configurable clock source for prescaler/glitch filter
• Configurable input source for pulse counter
• Rising-edge or falling-edge

42.1.2 Modes of operation
The following table describes the operation of the LPTMR module in various modes.

42.4 Functional description
42.4.1 LPTMR power and reset
The LPTMR remains powered in all power modes, including low-leakage modes. If the
LPTMR is not required to remain operating during a low-power mode, then it must be
disabled before entering the mode.
The LPTMR is reset only on global Power On Reset (POR) or Low Voltage Detect
(LVD). When configuring the LPTMR registers, the CSR must be initially written with
the timer disabled, before configuring the PSR and CMR. Then, CSR[TIE] must be set as
the last step in the initialization. This ensures the LPTMR is configured correctly and the
LPTMR counter is reset to zero following a warm reset.

42.4.2 LPTMR clocking
The LPTMR prescaler/glitch filter can be clocked by one of the four clocks. The clock
source must be enabled before the LPTMR is enabled.
NOTE
The clock source selected may need to be configured to remain
enabled in low-power modes, otherwise the LPTMR will not
operate during low-power modes.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1101

Functional description

In Pulse Counter mode with the prescaler/glitch filter bypassed, the selected input source
directly clocks the CNR and no other clock source is required. To minimize power in this
case, configure the prescaler clock source for a clock that is not toggling.
NOTE
The clock source or pulse input source selected for the LPTMR
should not exceed the frequency fLPTMR defined in the device
datasheet.

42.4.3 LPTMR prescaler/glitch filter
The LPTMR prescaler and glitch filter share the same logic which operates as a prescaler
in Time Counter mode and as a glitch filter in Pulse Counter mode.
NOTE
The prescaler/glitch filter configuration must not be altered
when the LPTMR is enabled.

42.4.3.1 Prescaler enabled
In Time Counter mode, when the prescaler is enabled, the output of the prescaler directly
clocks the CNR. When the LPTMR is enabled, the CNR will increment every 22 to 216
prescaler clock cycles. After the LPTMR is enabled, the first increment of the CNR will
take an additional one or two prescaler clock cycles due to synchronization logic.

42.4.3.2 Prescaler bypassed
In Time Counter mode, when the prescaler is bypassed, the selected prescaler clock
increments the CNR on every clock cycle. When the LPTMR is enabled, the first
increment will take an additional one or two prescaler clock cycles due to
synchronization logic.

1102

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 42 Low-Power Timer (LPTMR)

42.4.3.3 Glitch filter
In Pulse Counter mode, when the glitch filter is enabled, the output of the glitch filter
directly clocks the CNR. When the LPTMR is first enabled, the output of the glitch filter
is asserted, that is, logic 1 for active-high and logic 0 for active-low. The following table
shows the change in glitch filter output with the selected input source.
If
The selected input source remains deasserted for at least
to 215 consecutive prescaler clock rising edges

Then
21

The selected input source remains asserted for at least 21 to
215 consecutive prescaler clock rising-edges

The glitch filter output will also deassert.
The glitch filter output will also assert.

NOTE
The input is only sampled on the rising clock edge.
The CNR will increment each time the glitch filter output asserts. In Pulse Counter mode,
the maximum rate at which the CNR can increment is once every 22 to 216 prescaler
clock edges. When first enabled, the glitch filter will wait an additional one or two
prescaler clock edges due to synchronization logic.

42.4.3.4 Glitch filter bypassed
In Pulse Counter mode, when the glitch filter is bypassed, the selected input source
increments the CNR every time it asserts. Before the LPTMR is first enabled, the selected
input source is forced to be asserted. This prevents the CNR from incrementing if the
selected input source is already asserted when the LPTMR is first enabled.

42.4.4 LPTMR compare
When the CNR equals the value of the CMR and increments, the following events occur:
•
•
•
•

CSR[TCF] is set.
LPTMR interrupt is generated if CSR[TIE] is also set.
LPTMR hardware trigger is generated.
CNR is reset if CSR[TFC] is clear.

When the LPTMR is enabled, the CMR can be altered only when CSR[TCF] is set. When
updating the CMR, the CMR must be written and CSR[TCF] must be cleared before the
LPTMR counter has incremented past the new LPTMR compare value.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

1103

Functional description

42.4.5 LPTMR counter
The CNR increments by one on every:
•
•
•
•

Prescaler clock in Time Counter mode with prescaler bypassed
Prescaler output in Time Counter mode with prescaler enabled
Input source assertion in Pulse Counter mode with glitch filter bypassed
Glitch filter output in Pulse Counter mode with glitch filter enabled

The CNR is reset when the LPTMR is disabled or if the counter register overflows. If
CSR[TFC] is cleared, then the CNR is also reset whenever CSR[TCF] is set.
The CNR continues incrementing when the core is halted in Debug mode when
configured for Pulse Counter mode, the CNR will stop incrementing when the core is
halted in Debug mode when configured for Time Counter mode.
The CNR cannot be initialized, but can be read at any time. On each read of the CNR,
software must first write to the CNR with any value. This will synchronize and register
the current value of the CNR into a temporary register. The contents of the temporary
register are returned on each read of the CNR.
When reading the CNR, the bus clock must be at least two times faster than the rate at
which the LPTMR counter is incrementing, otherwise incorrect data may be returned.

42.4.6 LPTMR hardware trigger
The LPTMR hardware trigger asserts at the same time the CSR[TCF] is set and can be
used to trigger hardware events in other peripherals without software intervention. The
hardware trigger is always enabled.
When

Then

The CMR is set to 0 with CSR[TFC] clear

The LPTMR hardware trigger will assert on the first compare
and does not deassert.

The CMR is set to a nonzero value, or, if CSR[TFC] is set

The LPTMR hardware trigger will assert on each compare
and deassert on the following increment of the CNR.

42.4.7 LPTMR interrupt
The LPTMR interrupt is generated whenever CSR[TIE] and CSR[TCF] are set.
CSR[TCF] is cleared by disabling the LPTMR or by writing a logic 1 to it.
CSR[TIE] can be altered and CSR[TCF] can be cleared while the LPTMR is enabled.

Carrier Modulator Transmitter (CMT)
43.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The carrier modulator transmitter (CMT) module provides the means to generate the
protocol timing and carrier signals for a wide variety of encoding schemes. The CMT
incorporates hardware to off-load the critical and/or lengthy timing requirements
associated with signal generation from the CPU, releasing much of its bandwidth to
handle other tasks such as:
• Code data generation
• Data decompression, or,
• Keyboard scanning
. The CMT does not include dedicated hardware configurations for specific protocols, but
is intended to be sufficiently programmable in its function to handle the timing
requirements of most protocols with minimal CPU intervention.
When the modulator is disabled, certain CMT registers can be used to change the state of
the infrared output (IRO) signal directly. This feature allows for the generation of future
protocol timing signals not readily producible by the current architecture.

43.2 Features
The features of this module include:
• Four modes of operation:
• Time; with independent control of high and low times

Description

Time

In Time mode, the user independently defines the high and
low times of the carrier signal to determine both period and
duty cycle

Baseband

When MSC[BASE] is set, the carrier output (fcg) to the
modulator is held high continuously to allow for the
generation of baseband protocols.

Modes of operation

Modes

Description

Frequency-shift key

This mode allows the carrier generator to alternate between
two sets of high and low times. When operating in FSK
mode, the generator will toggle between the two sets when
instructed by the modulator, allowing the user to
dynamically switch between two carrier frequencies without
CPU intervention.

The following table summarizes the modes of operation of the CMT module.

2. This field is not double-buffered and must not be changed during a transmission while MSC[MCGEN]=1.

NOTE
The assignment of module modes to core modes is chipspecific. For module-to-core mode assignments, see the chapter
that describes how modules are configured.

43.4.1 Wait mode operation
During Wait mode, the CMT if enabled, will continue to operate normally. However,
there is no change in operating modes of CMT during Wait mode, because the CPU is not
operating.

43.4.2 Stop mode operation
This section describes the CMT Stop mode operations.

43.4.2.1 Normal Stop mode operation
During Normal Stop mode, clocks to the CMT module are halted. No registers are
affected.
The CMT module will resume upon exit from Normal Stop mode because the clocks are
halted. Software must ensure that the Normal Stop mode is not entered while the
modulator is still in operation so as to prevent the IRO signal from being asserted while
in Normal Stop mode. This may require a timeout period from the time that
MSC[MCGEN] is cleared to allow the last modulator cycle to complete.

43.4.2.2 Low-Power Stop mode operation
During Low-Power Stop mode, the CMT module is completely powered off internally
and the IRO signal state is latched and held at the time when the CMT enters this mode.
To prevent the IRO signal from being asserted during Low-Power Stop mode, the
software must assure that the signal is not active when entering Low-Power Stop mode.
Upon wakeup from Low-Power Stop mode, the CMT module will be in the reset state.

43.5.1 CMT_IRO — Infrared Output
This output signal is driven by the modulator output when MSC[MCGEN] and
OC[IROPEN] are set. The IRO signal starts a valid transmission with a delay, after
MSC[MCGEN] bit be asserted to high, that can be calculated based on two register bits.
Table 43-5 shows how to calculate this delay.
The following table describes conditions for the IRO signal to be active.
If

Then

MSC[MCGEN] is cleared and OC[IROPEN] is set

The signal is driven by OC[IROL] . This enables user software
to directly control the state of the IRO signal by writing to
OC[IROL] .

OC[IROPEN] is cleared

The signal is disabled and is not driven by the CMT module.
Therefore, CMT can be configured as a modulo timer for
generating periodic interrupts without causing signal activity.

43.7 Functional description
The CMT module primarily consists of clock divider, carrier generator, and modulator.

43.7.1 Clock divider
The CMT was originally designed to be based on an 8 MHz bus clock that could be
divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8 according to the specification. To be compatible with higher bus
frequency, the primary prescaler (PPS) was developed to receive a higher frequency and
generate a clock enable signal called intermediate frequency (IF). This IF must be
approximately equal to 8 MHz and will work as a clock enable to the secondary
prescaler. The following figure shows the clock divider block diagram.
Bus clock

Primary
prescaler

if_clk_enable

Secondary
prescaler

divider_enable

Figure 43-14. Clock divider block diagram

For compatibility with previous versions of CMT, when bus clock = 8 MHz, the PPS
must be configured to zero. The PPS counter is selected according to the bus clock to
generate an intermediate frequency approximately equal to 8 MHz.

43.7.2 Carrier generator
The carrier generator resolution is 125 ns when operating with an 8 MHz intermediate
frequency signal and the secondary prescaler is set to divide by 1, or, when
MSC[CMTDIV] = 00. The carrier generator can generate signals with periods between
250 ns (4 MHz) and 127.5 μs (7.84 kHz) in steps of 125 ns. The following table shows
the relationship between the clock divide bits and the carrier generator resolution,
minimum carrier generator period, and minimum modulator period.

The possible duty cycle options depend upon the number of counts required to complete
the carrier period. For example, 1.6 MHz signal has a period of 625 ns and will therefore
require 5 x 125 ns counts to generate. These counts may be split between high and low
times, so the duty cycles available will be:
• 20% with one high and four low times
• 40% with two high and three low times
• 60% with three high and two low times, and
• 80% with four high and one low time
.
For low-frequency signals with large periods, high-resolution duty cycles as a percentage
of the total period, are possible.
The carrier signal is generated by counting a register-selected number of input clocks
(125 ns for an 8 MHz bus) for both the carrier high time and the carrier low time. The
period is determined by the total number of clocks counted. The duty cycle is determined
by the ratio of high-time clocks to total clocks counted. The high and low time values are
user-programmable and are held in two registers.
An alternate set of high/low count values is held in another set of registers to allow the
generation of dual-frequency FSK protocols without CPU intervention.
Note
Only nonzero data values are allowed. The carrier generator
will not work if any of the count values are equal to zero.
MSC[MCGEN] must be set and MSC[BASE] must be cleared to enable carrier generator
clocks. When MSC[BASE] is set, the carrier output to the modulator is held high
continuously. The following figure represents the block diagram of the clock generator.

The high/low time counter is an 8-bit up counter. After each increment, the contents of
the counter are compared with the appropriate high or low count value register. When the
compare value is reached, the counter is reset to a value of 0x01, and the compare is
redirected to the other count value register.
Assuming that the high time count compare register is currently active, a valid compare
will cause the carrier output to be driven low. The counter will continue to increment
starting at the reset value of 0x01. When the value stored in the selected low count value
register is reached, the counter will again be reset and the carrier output will be driven
high.
The cycle repeats, automatically generating a periodic signal which is directed to the
modulator. The lower frequency with maximum period, fmax, and highest frequency with
minimum period, fmin, which can be generated, are defined as:
fmax = fCMTCLK ÷ (2 * 1) Hz
fmin = fCMTCLK ÷ (2 * (28 − 1)) Hz
In the general case, the carrier generator output frequency is:
fcg = fCMTCLK ÷ (High count + Low count) Hz
Where: 0 < High count < 256 and
0 < Low count < 256

Chapter 43 Carrier Modulator Transmitter (CMT)

The duty cycle of the carrier signal is controlled by varying the ratio of high time to low
+ high time. As the input clock period is fixed, the duty cycle resolution will be
proportional to the number of counts required to generate the desired carrier period.

43.7.3 Modulator
The modulator block controls the state of the infrared out signal (IRO). The modulator
output is gated on to the IRO signal when the modulator/carrier generator is enabled. .
When the modulator/carrier generator is disabled, the IRO signal is controlled by the state
of the IRO latch. OC[CMTPOL] enables the IRO signal to be active-high or active-low.
The following table describes the functions of the modulators in different modes:

The modulator can gate the carrier onto the modulator output.

Baseband
FSK

The modulator can control the logic level of the modulator
output.
The modulator can count carrier periods and instruct the
carrier generator to alternate between two carrier frequencies
whenever a modulation period consisting of mark and space
counts, expires.

The modulator provides a simple method to control protocol timing. The modulator has a
minimum resolution of 1.0 μs with an 8 MHz. It can count bus clocks to provide realtime control, or carrier clocks for self-clocked protocols.
The modulator includes a 17-bit down counter with underflow detection. The counter is
loaded from the 16-bit modulation mark period buffer registers, CMD1 and CMD2. The
most significant bit is loaded with a logic 0 and serves as a sign bit.
When

Then

The counter holds a positive value

The modulator gate is open and the carrier signal is driven to
the transmitter block.

The counter underflows

The modulator gate is closed and a 16-bit comparator is
enabled which compares the logical complement of the value
of the down counter with the contents of the modulation space
period register which has been loaded from the registers,
CMD3 and CMD4.

Functional description

When a match is obtained, the cycle repeats by opening the modulator gate, reloading the
counter with the contents of CMD1 and CMD2, and reloading the modulation space
period register with the contents of CMD3 and CMD4.
The modulation space period is activated when the carrier signal is low to prohibit cutting
off the high pulse of a carrier signal. If the carrier signal is high, the modulator extends
the mark period until the carrier signal becomes low. To deassert the space period and
assert the mark period, the carrier signal must have gone low to ensure that a space period
is not erroneously shortened.
If the contents of the modulation space period register are all zeroes, the match will be
immediate and no space period will be generated, for instance, for FSK protocols that
require successive bursts of different frequencies).
MSC[MCGEN] must be set to enable the modulator timer.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 43 Carrier Modulator Transmitter (CMT)

• The modulation mark period consists of an integer number of (CMTCLK ÷ 8) clock
periods.
• The modulation space period consists of 0 or an integer number of (CMTCLK ÷ 8)
clock periods.
With an 8 MHz IF and MSC[CMTDIV] = 00, the modulator resolution is 1 μs and has a
maximum mark and space period of about 65.535 ms each . See Figure 43-17 for an
example of the Time and Baseband mode outputs.
The mark and space time equations for Time and Baseband mode are:
tmark = (CMD1:CMD2 + 1) ÷ (fCMTCLK ÷ 8)
tspace = CMD3:CMD4 ÷ (fCMTCLK ÷ 8)
where CMD1:CMD2 and CMD3:CMD4 are the decimal values of the concatenated
registers.

43.7.3.2 Baseband mode
Baseband mode, that is, when MSC[MCGEN] and MSC[BASE] are set, is a derivative of
Time mode, where the mark and space period is based on (CMTCLK ÷ 8) counts. The
mark and space calculations are the same as in Time mode.

Functional description

In this mode, the modulator output will be at a logic 1 for the duration of the mark period
and at a logic 0 for the duration of a space period. See Figure 43-17 for an example of the
output for both Baseband and Time modes. In the example, the carrier out frequency (fcg)
is generated with a high count of 0x01 and a low count of 0x02 that results in a divide of
3 of CMTCLK with a 33% duty cycle. The modulator down counter was loaded with the
value 0x0003 and the space period register with 0x0002.
Note
The waveforms in Figure 43-17 and Figure 43-18 are for the
purpose of conceptual illustration and are not meant to
represent precise timing relationships between the signals
shown.

43.7.3.3 FSK mode
When the modulator operates in FSK mode, that is, when MSC[MCGEN] and
MSC[FSK] are set, and MSC[BASE] is cleared:
• The modulation mark and space periods consist of an integer number of carrier
clocks (space period can be zero).
• When the mark period expires, the space period is transparently started as in Time
mode.
• The carrier generator toggles between primary and secondary data register values
whenever the modulator space period expires.
The space period provides an interpulse gap (no carrier). If CMD3:CMD4 = 0x0000, then
the modulator and carrier generator will switch between carrier frequencies without a gap
or any carrier glitches (zero space).
Using timing data for carrier burst and interpulse gap length calculated by the CPU, FSK
mode can automatically generate a phase-coherent, dual-frequency FSK signal with
programmable burst and interburst gaps.
The mark and space time equations for FSK mode are:
tmark = (CMD1:CMD2 + 1) ÷ fcg
tspace = (CMD3:CMD4) ÷ fcg
Where fcg is the frequency output from the carrier generator. The example in Figure
43-18 shows what the IRO signal looks like in FSK mode with the following values:
• CMD1:CMD2 = 0x0003
• CMD3:CMD4 = 0x0002
• Primary carrier high count = 0x01
• Primary carrier low count = 0x02

43.7.4 Extended space operation
In either Time, Baseband, or FSK mode, the space period can be made longer than the
maximum possible value of the space period register. Setting MSC[EXSPC] will force
the modulator to treat the next modulation period beginning with the next load of the
counter and space period register, as a space period equal in length to the mark and space
counts combined. Subsequent modulation periods will consist entirely of these extended
space periods with no mark periods. Clearing MSC[EXSPC] will return the modulator to
standard operation at the beginning of the next modulation period.

43.7.4.1 EXSPC operation in Time mode
To calculate the length of an extended space in Time or Baseband mode, add the mark
and space times and multiply by the number of modulation periods when MSC[EXSPC]
is set.
texspace = (tmark + tspace) * (number of modulation periods)
For an example of extended space operation, see Figure 43-19.
Note
The extended space enable feature can be used to emulate a
zero mark event.

Figure 43-19. Extended space operation

43.7.4.2 EXSPC operation in FSK mode
In FSK mode, the modulator continues to count carrier out clocks, alternating between
the primary and secondary registers at the end of each modulation period.
To calculate the length of an extended space in FSK mode, it is required to know whether
MSC[EXSPC] was set on a primary or secondary modulation period, and the total
number of both primary and secondary modulation periods completed while
MSC[EXSPC] is high. A status bit for the current modulation is not accessible to the
CPU. If necessary, software must maintain tracking of the current primary or secondary
modulation cycle. The extended space period ends at the completion of the space period
time of the modulation period during which MSC[EXSPC]is cleared.
The following table depicts the equations which can be used to calculate the extended
space period depending on when MSC[EXSPC] is set.

Then

MSC[EXSPC] was set during a primary

texspace = (tspace)s + (tmark + tspace)p + (tmark + tspace)s +...

Where the subscripts p and s refer to mark and space times for the primary and secondary
modulation cycles.

MSC[EOCF] is set:
• When the modulator is not currently active and MSC[MCGEN] is set to begin the
initial CMT transmission.
• At the end of each modulation cycle when the counter is reloaded from
CMD1:CMD2, while MSC[MCGEN] is set.
When MSC[MCGEN] is cleared and then set before the end of the modulation cycle,
MSC[EOCF] will not be set when MSC[MCGEN] is set, but will become set at the end
of the current modulation cycle.
When MSC[MCGEN] becomes disabled, the CMT module does not set MSC[EOCF] at
the end of the last modulation cycle.
If MSC[EOCIE] is high when MSC[EOCF] is set, the CMT module will generate an
interrupt request or a DMA transfer request.
MSC[EOCF] must be cleared to prevent from being generated by another event like
interrupt or DMA request, after exiting the service routine. See the following table.

Real Time Clock (RTC)
44.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.

44.1.1 Features
The RTC module features include:
• Independent power supply, POR, and 32 kHz crystal oscillator
• 32-bit seconds counter with roll-over protection and 32-bit alarm
• 16-bit prescaler with compensation that can correct errors between 0.12 ppm and
3906 ppm
• Register write protection
• Lock register requires VBAT POR or software reset to enable write access
• Access control registers require system reset to enable read and/or write access
• 1 Hz square wave output

44.1.2 Modes of operation
The RTC remains functional in all low power modes and can generate an interrupt to exit
any low power mode. It operates in one of two modes of operation: chip power-up and
chip power-down.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1133

Register definition

During chip power-down, RTC is powered from the backup power supply (VBAT) and is
electrically isolated from the rest of the chip but continues to increment the time counter
(if enabled) and retain the state of the RTC registers. The RTC registers are not
accessible.
During chip power-up, RTC remains powered from the backup power supply (VBAT).
All RTC registers are accessible by software and all functions are operational. If enabled,
the 32.768 kHz clock can be supplied to the rest of the chip.

The RTC wakeup pin is an open drain, active low, output that allows the RTC to wakeup
the chip via an external component. The wakeup pin asserts when the wakeup pin enable
is set and either the RTC interrupt is asserted or the wakeup pin is turned on via a register
bit. The wakeup pin does not assert from the RTC seconds interrupt.
The wakeup pin is optional and may not be implemented on all devices.

the CIC equals 0 with the contents of the TCR field. If the CIC does not equal zero then it is loaded with
zero (compensation is not enabled for that second increment).

Configures the compensation interval in seconds from 1 to 256 to control how frequently the TCR should
adjust the number of 32.768 kHz cycles in each second. The value written should be one less than the
number of seconds. For example, write zero to configure for a compensation interval of one second. This
register is double buffered and writes do not take affect until the end of the current compensation interval.

Functional description

44.3 Functional description
44.3.1 Power, clocking, and reset
The RTC is an always powered block that remains active in all low power modes and is
powered by the battery power supply (VBAT). The battery power supply ensures that the
RTC registers retain their state during chip power-down and that the RTC time counter
remains operational.
The time counter within the RTC is clocked by a 32.768 kHz clock and can supply this
clock to other peripherals. The 32.768 kHz clock can only be sourced from an external
crystal using the oscillator that is part of the RTC module.
The RTC includes its own analog POR block, which generates a VBAT power-on-reset
signal whenever the RTC module is powered up and initializes all RTC registers to their
default state. A software reset bit can also initialize all RTC registers. The RTC also
monitors the chip power supply and electrically isolates itself when the rest of the chip is
powered down.
NOTE
An attempt to access an RTC register, except the access control
registers, results in a bus error when:
• VBAT is powered down,
• the RTC is electrically isolated, or
• VBAT POR is asserted.

44.3.1.1 Oscillator control
The 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is disabled at VBAT POR and must be enabled by
software. After enabling the cystal oscillator, wait the oscillator startup time before
setting SR[TCE] or using the oscillator clock external to the RTC.
The crystal oscillator includes tunable capacitors that can be configured by software. Do
not change the capacitance unless the oscillator is disabled.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1146

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 44 Real Time Clock (RTC)

44.3.1.2 Software reset
Writing 1 to CR[SWR] forces the equivalent of a VBAT POR to the rest of the RTC
module. CR[SWR] is not affected by the software reset and must be cleared by software.
The access control registers are not affected by either VBAT POR or the software reset;
they are reset by the chip reset.

44.3.1.3 Supervisor access
When the supervisor access control bit is clear, only supervisor mode software can write
to the RTC registers, non-supervisor mode software will generate a bus error. Both
supervisor and non-supervisor mode software can always read the RTC registers.

44.3.2 Time counter
The time counter consists of a 32-bit seconds counter that increments once every second
and a 16-bit prescaler register that increments once every 32.768 kHz clock cycle.
Reading the time counter (either seconds or prescaler) while is is incrementing may
return invalid data due to synchronization of the read data bus. If it is necessary for
software to read the prescaler or seconds counter when they could be incrementing, it is
recommended that two read accesses are performed and that software verifies that the
same data was returned for both reads.
The time seconds register and time prescaler register can be written only when SR[TCE]
is clear. Always write to the prescaler register before writing to the seconds register,
because the seconds register increments on the falling edge of bit 14 of the prescaler
register.
The time prescaler register increments provided SR[TCE] is set, SR[TIF] is clear,
SR[TOF] is clear, and the 32.768 kHz clock source is present. After enabling the
oscillator, wait the oscillator startup time before setting SR[TCE] to allow time for the
oscillator clock output to stabilize.
If the time seconds register overflows then the SR[TOF] will set and the time prescaler
register will stop incrementing. Clear SR[TOF] by initializing the time seconds register.
The time seconds register and time prescaler register read as zero whenever SR[TOF] is
set.
SR[TIF] is set on VBAT POR and software reset and is cleared by initializing the time
seconds register. The time seconds register and time prescaler register read as zero
whenever SR[TIF] is set.

Functional description

44.3.3 Compensation
The compensation logic provides an accurate and wide compensation range and can
correct errors as high as 3906 ppm and as low as 0.12 ppm. The compensation factor
must be calculated externally to the RTC and supplied by software to the compensation
register. The RTC itself does not calculate the amount of compensation that is required,
although the 1 Hz clock is output to an external pin in support of external calibration
logic.
Crystal compensation can be supported by using firmware and crystal characteristics to
determine the compensation amount. Temperature compensation can be supported by
firmware that periodically measures the external temperature via ADC and updates the
compensation register based on a look-up table that specifies the change in crystal
frequency over temperature.
The compensation logic alters the number of 32.768 kHz clock cycles it takes for the
prescaler register to overflow and increment the time seconds counter. The time
compensation value is used to adjust the number of clock cycles between -127 and +128.
Cycles are added or subtracted from the prescaler register when the prescaler register
equals 0x3FFF and then increments. The compensation interval is used to adjust the
frequency at which the time compensation value is used, that is, from once a second to
once every 256 seconds.
Updates to the time compensation register will not take effect until the next time the time
seconds register increments and provided the previous compensation interval has expired.
When the compensation interval is set to other than once a second then the compensation
is applied in the first second interval and the remaining second intervals receive no
compensation.
Compensation is disabled by configuring the time compensation register to zero.

44.3.4 Time alarm
The Time Alarm register (TAR), SR[TAF], and IER[TAIE] allow the RTC to generate an
interrupt at a predefined time. The 32-bit TAR is compared with the 32-bit Time Seconds
register (TSR) each time it increments. SR[TAF] will set when TAR equals TSR and
TSR increments.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1148

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 44 Real Time Clock (RTC)

SR[TAF] is cleared by writing TAR. This will usually be the next alarm value, although
writing a value that is less than TSR, such as 0, will prevent SR[TAF] from setting again.
SR[TAF] cannot otherwise be disabled, although the interrupt it generates is enabled or
disabled by IER[TAIE].

44.3.5 Update mode
The Update Mode field in the Control register (CR[UM]) configures software write
access to the Time Counter Enable (SR[TCE]) field. When CR[UM] is clear, SR[TCE]
can be written only when LR[SRL] is set. When CR[UM] is set, SR[TCE] can also be
written when SR[TCE] is clear or when SR[TIF] or SR[TOF] are set. This allows the
time seconds and prescaler registers to be initialized whenever time is invalidated, while
preventing the time seconds and prescaler registers from being changed on the fly. When
LR[SRL] is set, CR[UM] has no effect on SR[TCE].

44.3.6 Register lock
The Lock register (LR) can be used to block write accesses to certain registers until the
next VBAT POR or software reset. Locking the Control register (CR) will disable the
software reset. Locking LR will block future updates to LR.
Write accesses to a locked register are ignored and do not generate a bus error.

44.3.7 Access control
The read access and write access registers are implemented in the chip power domain and
reset on the chip reset. They are not affected by the VBAT POR or the software reset.
They are used to block read or write accesses to each register until the next chip system
reset. When accesses are blocked, the bus access is not seen in the VBAT power supply
and does not generate a bus error.

44.3.8 Interrupt
The RTC interrupt is asserted whenever a status flag and the corresponding interrupt
enable bit are both set. It is always asserted on VBAT POR, and software reset, and when
the VBAT power supply is powered down. The RTC interrupt is enabled at the chip level

Functional description

by enabling the chip-specific RTC clock gate control bit. The RTC interrupt can be used
to wakeup the chip from any low-power mode. If the RTC wakeup pin is enabled and the
chip is powered down, the RTC interrupt will cause the wakeup pin to assert.
The optional RTC seconds interrupt is an edge-sensitive interrupt with a dedicated
interrupt vector that is generated once a second and requires no software overhead (there
is no corresponding status flag to clear). It is enabled in the RTC by the time seconds
interrupt enable bit and enabled at the chip level by setting the chip-specific RTC clock
gate control bit. The RTC seconds interrupt does not cause the RTC wakeup pin to assert.
This interrupt is optional and may not be implemented on all devices.

45.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The MAC-NET core, in conjunction with a 10/100 MAC, implements layer 3 network
acceleration functions. These functions are designed to accelerate the processing of
various common networking protocols, such as IP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP, providing wire
speed services to client applications.

45.2 Overview
The core implements a dual speed 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet MAC compliant with the
IEEE802.3-2002 standard. The MAC layer provides compatibility with half- or fullduplex 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet LANs.
The MAC operation is fully programmable and can be used in Network Interface Card
(NIC), bridging, or switching applications. The core implements the remote network
monitoring (RMON) counters according to IETF RFC 2819.
The core also implements a hardware acceleration block to optimize the performance of
network controllers providing TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP protocol services. The
acceleration block performs critical functions in hardware, which are typically
implemented with large software overhead.
The core implements programmable embedded FIFOs that can provide buffering on the
receive path for lossless flow control.
Advanced power management features are available with magic packet detection and
programmable power-down modes.

45.4.1 Interrupt Event Register (ENET_EIR)
When an event occurs that sets a bit in EIR, an interrupt occurs if the corresponding bit in
the interrupt mask register (EIMR) is also set. Writing a 1 to an EIR bit clears it; writing
0 has no effect. This register is cleared upon hardware reset.
NOTE
TxBD[INT] and RxBD[INT] must be set to 1 to allow setting
the corresponding EIR register flags in enhanced mode,
ENET_ECR[EN1588] = 1. Legacy mode does not require these
flags to be enabled.

Graceful Stop Complete

Indicates a frame was received with length in excess of RCR[MAX_FL] bytes.

Indicates the transmitted frame length exceeds RCR[MAX_FL] bytes. Usually this condition is caused
when a frame that is too long is placed into the transmit data buffer(s). Truncation does not occur.

This interrupt is asserted after the transmitter is put into a pause state after completion of the frame
currently being transmitted. See Graceful Transmit Stop (GTS) for conditions that lead to graceful stop.
NOTE: The GRA interrupt is asserted only when the TX transitions into the stopped state. If this bit is
cleared by writing 1 and the TX is still stopped, the bit is not set again.

MII Interrupt.
Indicates that the MII has completed the data transfer requested.
Ethernet Bus Error
Indicates a system bus error occurred when a uDMA transaction is underway. When this bit is set,
ECR[ETHEREN] is cleared, halting frame processing by the MAC. When this occurs, software must
ensure proper actions, possibly resetting the system, to resume normal operation.

• ETHEREN must be set at the very last step during ENET configuration/setup/initialization,
only after all other ENET-related registers have been configured.
• If ETHEREN is cleared to 0 by software then then next time ETHEREN is set, the EIR
interrupts must cleared to 0 due to previous pending interrupts.

Reception immediately stops and transmission stops after a bad CRC is appended to any currently
transmitted frame.
MAC is enabled, and reception and transmission are possible.

Ethernet MAC Reset
When this field is set, it clears the ETHEREN field.

45.4.6 MII Management Frame Register (ENET_MMFR)
Writing to MMFR triggers a management frame transaction to the PHY device unless
MSCR is programmed to zero.
If MSCR is changed from zero to non-zero during a write to MMFR, an MII frame is
generated with the data previously written to the MMFR. This allows MMFR and MSCR
to be programmed in either order if MSCR is currently zero.
If the MMFR register is written while frame generation is in progress, the frame contents
are altered. Software must use the EIR[MII] interrupt indication to avoid writing to the
MMFR register while frame generation is in progress.

This field must be programmed to 10 to generate a valid MII management frame.

This is the field for data to be written to or read from the PHY register.

45.4.7 MII Speed Control Register (ENET_MSCR)
MSCR provides control of the MII clock (MDC pin) frequency and allows a preamble
drop on the MII management frame.
The MII_SPEED field must be programmed with a value to provide an MDC frequency
of less than or equal to 2.5 MHz to be compliant with the IEEE 802.3 MII specification.
The MII_SPEED must be set to a non-zero value to source a read or write management
frame. After the management frame is complete, the MSCR register may optionally be
cleared to turn off MDC. The MDC signal generated has a 50% duty cycle except when
MII_SPEED changes during operation. This change takes effect following a rising or
falling edge of MDC.
If the internal module clock is 25 MHz, programming this register to 0x0000_0004
results in an MDC as stated in the following equation:
25 MHz / ((4 + 1) x 2) = 2.5 MHz
The following table shows the optimum values for MII_SPEED as a function of internal
module clock frequency.

45.4.18 Transmit FIFO Watermark Register (ENET_TFWR)
If TFWR[STRFWD] is cleared, TFWR[TFWR] controls the amount of data required in
the transmit FIFO before transmission of a frame can begin. This allows you to minimize
transmit latency (TFWR = 00 or 01) or allow for larger bus access latency (TFWR = 11)
due to contention for the system bus. Setting the watermark to a high value minimizes the
risk of transmit FIFO underrun due to contention for the system bus. The byte counts
associated with the TFWR field may need to be modified to match a given system
requirement. For example, worst case bus access latency by the transmit data DMA
channel.
When the FIFO level reaches the value the TFWR field and when the STR_FWD is set to
‘0’, the MAC transmit control logic starts frame transmission even before the end-offrame is available in the FIFO (cut-through operation).
If a complete frame has a size smaller than the threshold programmed with TFWR, the
MAC also transmits the Frame to the line.
To enable store and forward on the Transmit path, set STR_FWD to ‘1’. In this case, the
MAC starts to transmit data only when a complete frame is stored in the Transmit FIFO.

• To allow one maximum size frame per buffer, MRBR must be set to RCR[MAX_FL]
or larger.
• To properly align the buffer, MRBR must be evenly divisible by 16. To ensure this,
bits 3–0 are set to zero by the device.
• To minimize bus usage (descriptor fetches), set MRBR greater than or equal to 256
bytes.

Value Of The Receive FIFO Almost Empty Threshold
Value, in 64-bit words, of the receive FIFO almost empty threshold. When the FIFO level reaches the
value programmed in this field and the end-of-frame has not been received for the frame yet, the core
receive read control stops FIFO read (and subsequently stops transferring data to the MAC client
application). It continues to deliver the frame, if again more data than the threshold or the end-of-frame is
available in the FIFO. A minimum value of 4 should be set.

Value Of The Receive FIFO Almost Full Threshold
Value, in 64-bit words, of the receive FIFO almost full threshold. When the FIFO level comes close to the

TX_ALMOST_
FULL

Value Of The Transmit FIFO Almost Full Threshold
Value, in 64-bit words, of the transmit FIFO almost full threshold. A minimum value of six is required . A
recommended value of at least 8 should be set allowing a latency of two clock cycles to the application. If
more latency is required the value can be increased as necessary (latency = TAFL - 5).
When the FIFO level comes close to the maximum, so that there is no more space for at least
TX_ALMOST_FULL number of words, the pin ff_tx_rdy is deasserted. If the application does not react on
this signal, the FIFO write control logic, to avoid FIFO overflow, truncates the current frame and sets the
error status. As a result, the frame will be transmitted with an GMII/MII error indication. See Transmit FIFO
for more information.
NOTE: A FIFO overflow is a fatal error and requires a global reset on the transmit datapath or at least
deassertion of ETHEREN.

PERIOD

Value for generating periodic events. Each instance the timer reaches this value, the period event occurs
and the timer restarts. If the increment value in ATINC is given in true nanoseconds, this value is also
given in true nanoseconds. The value should be initialized to 1,000,000,000 (1 x 10 9 ) to represent a timer
wrap around of one second. The increment value set in ATINC should be set to the true nanoseconds of
the period of clock ts_clk, hence implementing a true 1 second counter.

Description
Timer Capture Compare
This register is double buffered between the module clock and 1588 clock domains.
When configured for compare, the 1588 clock domain updates with the value in the module clock domain
whenever the Timer Channel is first enabled and on each subsequent compare. Write to this register with
the first compare value before enabling the Timer Channel. When the Timer Channel is enabled, write the
second compare value either immediately, or at least before the first compare occurs. After each compare,
write the next compare value before the previous compare occurs and before clearing the Timer Flag.
The compare occurs one 1588 clock cycle after the IEEE 1588 Counter increments past the compare
value in the 1588 clock domain. If the compare value is less than the value of the 1588 Counter when the
Timer Channel is first enabled, then the compare does not occur until following the next overflow of the
1588 Counter. If the compare value is greater than the IEEE 1588 Counter when the 1588 Counter
overflows, or the compare value is less than the value of the IEEE 1588 Counter after the overflow, then
the compare occurs one 1588 clock cycle following the overflow.
When configured for Capture, the value of the IEEE 1588 Counter is captured into the 1588 clock domain
and then updated into the module clock domain, provided the Timer Flag is clear. Always read the capture
value before clearing the Timer Flag.

45.5.1 Ethernet MAC frame formats
• Minimum length of 64 bytes
• Maximum length of 1518 bytes excluding the preamble and the start frame delimiter
(SFD) bytes

• Seven bytes preamble
• Start frame delimiter (SFD)
• Two address fields
• Length or type field
• Data field
• Frame check sequence (CRC value)

Optionally, MAC frames can be VLAN-tagged with an additional four-byte field inserted
between the MAC source address and the type/length field. VLAN tagging is defined by
the IEEE P802.1q specification. VLAN-tagged frames have a maximum length of 1522
bytes, excluding the preamble and the SFD bytes.

Description

Frame length

Defines the length, in octets, of the complete frame without preamble and SFD. A frame has a valid
length if it contains at least 64 octets and does not exceed the programmed maximum length.

Payload length

The length/type field indicates the length of the frame's payload section. The most significant byte is
sent/received first.
• If the length/type field is set to a value less than 46, the payload is padded so that the
minimum frame length requirement (64 bytes) is met. For VLAN-tagged frames, a value less
than 42 indicates a padded frame.
• If the length/type field is set to a value larger than the programmed frame maximum length
(e.g. 1518) it is interpreted as a type field.

Destination and source 48-bit MAC addresses. The least significant byte is sent/received first and the first two least
address
significant bits of the MAC address distinguish MAC frames, as detailed in MAC address check.

Note
Although the IEEE specification defines a maximum frame
length, the MAC core provides the flexibility to program any
value for the frame maximum length.

45.5.1.1 Pause Frames
The receiving device generates a pause frame to indicate a congestion to the emitting
device, which should stop sending data.
Pause frames are indicated by the length/type set to 0x8808. The two first bytes of a
pause frame following the type, defines a 16-bit opcode field set to 0x0001 always. A 16bit pause quanta is defined in the frame payload bytes 2 (P1) and 3 (P2) as defined in the
following table. The P1 pause quanta byte is the most significant.

There is no payload length field found within a pause frame and a pause frame is always
padded with 42 bytes (0x00).
If a pause frame with a pause value greater than zero (XOFF condition) is received, the
MAC stops transmitting data as soon the current frame transfer is completed. The MAC
stops transmitting data for the value defined in pause quanta. One pause quanta fraction
refers to 512 bit times.
If a pause frame with a pause value of zero (XON condition) is received, the transmitter
is allowed to send data immediately (see Full-duplex flow control operation for details).

45.5.1.2 Magic packets
A magic packet is a unicast, multicast, or broadcast packet, which carries a defined
sequence in the payload section.
Magic packets are received and inspected only under specific conditions.
The defined sequence to decode a magic packet is formed with a synchronization stream
which consists of six consecutive 0xFF bytes, and is followed by sequence of sixteen
consecutive unicast MAC addresses of the node to be awakened.
This sequence can be located anywhere in the magic packet payload. The magic packet is
formed with a standard Ethernet header, optional padding, and CRC.

45.5.2 IP and higher layers frame format
For example, an IP datagram specifies the payload section of an Ethernet frame. A TCP
datagram specifies the payload section within an IP datagram.

The following figure shows the IP Version 4 (IPv4) header, which is located at the
beginning of an IP datagram. It is organized in 32-bit words. The first byte sent/received
is the leftmost byte of the first word (in other words, version/IHL field).
The IP header can contain further options, which are always padded if necessary to
guarantee the payload following the header is aligned to a 32-bit boundary.
The IP header is immediately followed by the payload, which can contain further
protocol headers (for example, TCP or UDP, as indicated by the protocol field value).
The complete IP datagram is transported in the payload section of an Ethernet frame.

The following figure shows the IP version 6 (IPv6) header, which is located at the
beginning of an IP datagram. It is organized in 32-bit words and has a fixed length of ten
words (40 bytes). The next header field identifies the type of the header that follows the
IPv6 header. It is defined similar to the protocol identifier within IPv4, with new
definitions for identifying extension headers. These headers can be inserted between the
IPv6 header and the protocol header, which will shift the protocol header accordingly.The
accelerator currently only supports IPv6 without extension headers (in other words, the
next header specifies TCP, UDP, or IMCP).
The first byte sent/received is the leftmost byte of the first word (in other words, version/
traffic class fields).

The following sections describe the IEEE 1588 message formats.

45.5.3.1 Transport encapsulation
The precision time protocol (PTP) datagrams are encapsulated in Ethernet frames using
the UDP/IP transport mechanism, or optionally, with the newer 1588v2 directly in
Ethernet frames (layer 2).
Typically, multicast addresses are used to allow efficient distribution of the
synchronization messages.
45.5.3.1.1

UDP/IP

The 1588 messages (v1 and v2) can be transported using UDP/IP multicast messages.
Table 45-116 shows IP multicast groups defined for PTP. The table also shows their
respective MAC layer multicast address mapping according to RFC 1112 (last three

45.5.3.1.2

Native Ethernet (PTPv2)

In addition to using UDP/IP frames, IEEE 1588v2 defines a native Ethernet frame format
that uses ethertype = 0x88F7. The payload of the Ethernet frame immediately contains
the PTP datagram, starting with the PTPv2 header.
Besides others, version 2 adds a peer delay mechanism to allow delay measurements
between individual point-to-point links along a path over multiple nodes. The following
multicast domains are also defined in PTPv2.

All multi-octet fields are transmitted in big-endian order (the most significant byte is
transmitted/received first).
The last four bits of versionPTP are at the same position (second byte) for PTPv1 and
PTPv2 headers. This allows accurate identification by inspecting the first two bytes of the
message.

45.5.4.1 Collision detection in half-duplex mode
If the packet is received with a collision detected during reception of the first 64 bytes,
the packet is discarded (if frame size was less than ~14 octets) or transmitted to the user
application with an error and RxBD[CE] set.

1236

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

45.5.4.2 Preamble processing
The IEEE 802.3 standard allows a maximum size of 56 bits (seven bytes) for the
preamble, while the MAC core allows any preamble length, including zero length
preamble.
The MAC core checks for the start frame delimiter (SFD) byte. If the next byte of the
preamble, which is different from 0x55, is not 0xD5, the frame is discarded.
Although the IEEE specification dictates that the inner-packet gap should be at least 96
bits, the MAC core is designed to accept frames separated by only 64 10/100 Mbps
operation (MII) bits.
The MAC core removes the preamble and SFD bytes.

45.5.4.3 MAC address check
The destination address bit 0 differentiates between multicast and unicast addresses.
• If bit 0 is 0, the MAC address is an individual (unicast) address.
• If bit 0 is 1, the MAC address defines a group (multicast) address.
• If all 48 bits of the MAC address are set, it indicates a broadcast address.
45.5.4.3.1

Unicast address check

If a unicast address is received, the destination MAC address is compared to the node
MAC address programmed by the host in the PADDR1/2 registers.
If the destination address matches any of the programmed MAC addresses, the frame is
accepted.
If Promiscuous mode is enabled (RCR[PROM] = 1) no address checking is performed
and all unicast frames are accepted.
45.5.4.3.2 Multicast and unicast address resolution
The hash table algorithm used in the group and individual hash filtering operates as
follows.
• The 48-bit destination address is mapped into one of 64 bits, represented by 64 bits in
ENETn_GAUR/GALR (group address hash match) or ENETn_IAUR/IALR
(individual address hash match).
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1237

Functional description

• This mapping is performed by passing the 48-bit address through the on-chip 32-bit
CRC generator and selecting the six most significant bits of the CRC-encoded result
to generate a number between 0 and 63.
• The msb of the CRC result selects ENETn_GAUR (msb = 1) or ENETn_GALR
(msb = 0).
• The five lsbs of the hash result select the bit within the selected register.
• If the CRC generator selects a bit set in the hash table, the frame is accepted; else, it
is rejected.
For example, if eight group addresses are stored in the hash table and random group
addresses are received, the hash table prevents roughly 56/64 (or 87.5%) of the group
address frames from reaching memory. Those that do reach memory must be further
filtered by the processor to determine if they truly contain one of the eight desired
addresses.
The effectiveness of the hash table declines as the number of addresses increases.
The user must initialize the hash table registers. Use this CRC32 polynomial to compute
the hash:
• FCS(x) = x32+ x26+ x23+ x22+ x16+ x12+ x11+ x10+ x8+ x7+ x5+ x4+ x2+ x1+ 1
If Promiscuous mode is enabled (ENETn_RCR[PROM] = 1) all unicast and multicast
frames are accepted regardless of ENETn_GAUR/GALR and ENETn_IAUR/IALR
settings.
45.5.4.3.3

Broadcast address reject

All broadcast frames are accepted if BC_REJ is cleared or ENETn_RCR[PROM] is set.
If PROM is cleared when ENETn_RCR[BC_REJ] is set, all broadcast frames are
rejected.

45.5.4.3.4

Miss-bit implementation

For higher layer filtering purposes, RxBD[M] indicates an address miss when the MAC
operates in promiscuous mode and accepts a frame that would otherwise be rejected.
If a group/individual hash or exact match does not occur and Promiscuous mode is
enabled (RCR[PROM] = 1), the frame is accepted and the M bit is set in the buffer
descriptor; otherwise, the frame is rejected.
This means the status bit is set in any of the following conditions during Promiscuous
mode:
• A broadcast frame is received when BC_REJ is set
• A unicast is received that does not match either:
• Node address (PALR[PADDR1] and PAUR[PADDR2])
• Hash table for unicast (IAUR[IADDR1] and IALR[IADDR2])
• A multicast is received that does not match the GAUR[GADDR1] and
GALR[GADDR2] hash table entries

45.5.4.4 Frame length/type verification: payload length check
If the length/type is less than 0x600 and NLC is set, the MAC checks the payload length
and reports any error in the frame status word and interrupt bit PLR.
If the length/type is greater than or equal to 0x600, the MAC interprets the field as a type
and no payload length check is performed.
The length check is performed on VLAN and stacked VLAN frames. If a padded frame is
received, no length check can be performed due to the extended frame payload because
padded frames can never have a payload length error.

45.5.4.5 Frame length/type verification: frame length check
When the receive frame length exceeds MAX_FL bytes, the BABR interrupt is generated
and the RxBD[LG] bit is set.
The frame is not truncated unless the frame length exceeds the value programmed in
ENETn_FTRL[TRUNC_FL]. If the frame is truncated, RxBD[TR] is set. In addition, a
truncated frame always has the CRC error indication set (RxBD[CR]).

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1239

Functional description

45.5.4.6 VLAN frames processing
VLAN frames have a length/type field set to 0x8100 immediately followed by a 16-Bit
VLAN control information field.
VLAN-tagged frames are received as normal frames because the VLAN tag is not
interpreted by the MAC function, and are pushed complete with the VLAN tag to the user
application. If the length/type field of the VLAN-tagged frame, which is found four
octets later in the frame, is less than 42, the padding is removed. In addition, the frame
status word (RxBD[NO]) indicates that the current frame is VLAN tagged.

45.5.4.7 Pause frame termination
The receive engine terminates pause frames and does not transfer them to the receive
FIFO. The quanta is extracted and sent to the MAC transmit path via a small internal
clock rate decoupling asynchronous FIFO.
The quanta is written only if a correct CRC and frame length are detected by the control
state machine. If not, the quanta is discarded and the MAC transmit path is not paused.
Good pause frames are ignored if ENETn_RCR[FCE] is cleared and are forwarded to the
client interface when ENETn_RCR[PAUFWD] is set.

45.5.4.8 CRC check
The CRC-32 field is checked and forwarded to the core FIFO interface if
ENETn_RCR[CRCFWD] is cleared and ENETn_RCR[PADEN] is set.
When CRCFWD is set (regardless of PADEN), the CRC-32 field is checked and
terminated (not transmitted to the FIFO).
The CRC polynomial, as specified in the 802.3 standard, is:
• FCS(x) = x32+ x26+ x23+ x22+ x16+ x12+ x11+ x10+ x8+ x7+ x5+ x4+ x2+ x1+ 1
The 32 bits of the CRC value are placed in the frame check sequence (FCS) field with the
x31 term as right-most bit of the first octet. The CRC bits are thus received in the
following order: x31, x30,..., x1, x0.
If a CRC error is detected, the frame is marked invalid and RxBD[CR] is set.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

45.5.4.9 Frame padding removal
When a frame is received with a payload length field set to less than 46 (42 for VLANtagged frames and 38 for frames with stacked VLANs), the zero padding can be removed
before the frame is written into the data FIFO depending on the setting of
ENETn_RCR[PADEN].
Note
If a frame is received with excess padding (in other words, the
length field is set as mentioned above, but the frame has more
than 64 octets) and padding removal is enabled, then the
padding is removed as normal and no error is reported if the
frame is otherwise correct (for example: good CRC, less than
maximum length, and no other error).

45.5.4.10 Recieve flushing
RX flushing prevents frames in the RX FIFO from being blocked. Blocking can occur if
the frame at the head of the RX FIFO cannot be forwarded because the ring it is
associated with cannot accept it. This situation occurs when either the ring's
RxBD[EMPTY] is not set or ENET_RDARn is not set. When RX flushing is enabled,
via , the blocking frame will be flushed (discarded).

45.5.5 MAC transmit
Frame transmission starts when the transmit FIFO holds enough data.
After a transfer starts, the MAC transmit function performs the following tasks:
• Generates preamble and SFD field before frame transmission
• Generates XOFF pause frames if the receive FIFO reports a congestion or if
ENETn_TCR[TFC_PAUSE] is set with ENETn_OPD[PAUSE_DUR] set to a nonzero value
• Generates XON pause frames if the receive FIFO congestion condition is cleared or
if TFC_PAUSE is set with PAUSE_DUR cleared
• Suspends Ethernet frame transfer (XOFF) if a non-zero pause quanta is received
from the MAC receive path

45.5.5.1 Frame payload padding
The IEEE specification defines a minimum frame length of 64 bytes.
If the frame sent to the MAC from the user application has a size smaller than 60 bytes,
the MAC automatically adds padding bytes (0x00) to comply with the Ethernet minimum
frame length specification. Transmit padding is always performed and cannot be
disabled.
If the MAC is not allowed to append a CRC (TxBD[TC] = 1), the user application is
responsible for providing frames with a minimum length of 64 octets.

1242

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

45.5.5.2 MAC address insertion
On each frame received from the core transmit FIFO interface, the source MAC address
is either:
• Replaced by the address programmed in the PADDR1/2 fields
(ENETn_TCR[ADDINS] = 1)
• Transparently forwarded to the Ethernet line (ENETn_TCR[ADDINS] = 0)

45.5.5.3 CRC-32 generation
The CRC-32 field is optionally generated and appended at the end of a frame.
The CRC polynomial, as specified in the 802.3 standard, is:
• FCS(x) = x32+ x26+ x23+ x22+ x16+ x12+ x11+ x10+ x8+ x7+ x5+ x4+ x2+ x1+ 1
The 32 bits of the CRC value are placed in the FCS field so that the x31 term is the rightmost bit of the first octet. The CRC bits are thus transmitted in the following order: x31,
x30,..., x1, x0.

45.5.5.4 Inter-packet gap (IPG)
In full-duplex mode, after frame transmission and before transmission of a new frame, an
IPG (programmed in ENETn_TIPG) is maintained. The minimum IPG can be
programmed between 8 and 27 byte-times (64 and 216 bit-times).
In half-duplex mode, the core constantly monitors the line. Actual transmission of the
data onto the network occurs only if it has been idle for a 96-bit time period, and any
back-off time requirements have been satisfied. In accordance with the standard, the core
begins to measure the IPG from CRS de-assertion.

45.5.5.5 Collision detection and handling — half-duplex operation
only
A collision occurs on a half-duplex network when concurrent transmissions from two or
more nodes take place. During transmission, the core monitors the line condition and
detects a collision when the PHY device asserts COL.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1243

Functional description

When the core detects a collision while transmitting, it stops transmission of the data and
transmits a 32-bit jam pattern. If the collision is detected during the preamble or the SFD
transmission, the jam pattern is transmitted after completing the SFD, which results in a
minimum 96-bit fragment. The jam pattern is a fixed pattern that is not compared to the
actual frame CRC, and has a very low probability (0.532) of having a jam pattern
identical to the CRC.
If a collision occurs before transmission of 64 bytes (including preamble and SFD), the
MAC core waits for the backoff period and retransmits the packet data (stored in a 64byte re-transmit buffer) that has already been sent on the line. The backoff period is
generated from a pseudo-random process (truncated binary exponential backoff).
If a collision occurs after transmission of 64 bytes (including preamble and SFD), the
MAC discards the remainder of the frame, optionally sets the LC interrupt bit, and sets
TxBD[LCE].

Figure 45-107. Packet re-transmit overview

The backoff time is represented by an integer multiple of slot times. One slot is equal to a
512-bit time period. The number of the delay slot times, before the nth re-transmission
attempt, is chosen as a uniformly-distributed random integer in the range:
• 0 < r < 2k
• k = min(n, N); where n is the number of retransmissions and N = 10
For example, after the first collision, the backoff period is 0 or 1 slot time. If a collision
occurs on the first retransmission, the backoff period is 0, 1, 2, or 3, and so on.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1244

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

The maximum backoff time (in 512-bit time slots) is limited by N = 10 as specified in the
IEEE 802.3 standard.
If a collision occurs after 16 consecutive retransmissions, the core reports an excessive
collision condition (ENETn_EIR[RL] interrupt field and TxBD[EE]) and discards the
current packet from the FIFO.
In networks violating the standard requirements, a collision may occur after transmission
of the first 64 bytes. In this case, the core stops the current packet transmission and
discards the rest of the packet from the transmit FIFO. The core resumes transmission
with the next packet available in the core transmit FIFO.

45.5.6 Full-duplex flow control operation
Three conditions are handled by the core's flow control engine:
• Remote device congestion — The remote device connected to the same Ethernet
segment as the core reports congestion and requests that the core stop sending data.
• Core FIFO congestion — When the core's receive FIFO reaches a userprogrammable threshold (RX section empty), the core sends a pause frame back to
the remote device requesting the data transfer to stop.
• Local device congestion — Any device connected to the core can request (typically,
via the host processor) the remote device to stop transmitting data.

45.5.6.1 Remote device congestion
When the MAC transmit control gets a valid pause quanta from the receive path and if
ENETn_RCR[FCE] is set, the MAC transmit logic:
• Completes the transfer of the current frame.
• Stops sending data for the amount of time specified by the pause quanta in 512 bit
time increments.
• Sets ENETn_TCR[RFC_PAUSE].
Frame transfer resumes when the time specified by the quanta expires and if no new
quanta value is received, or if a new pause frame with a quanta value set to 0x0000 is
received. The MAC also resets RFC_PAUSE to zero.
If ENETn_RCR[FCE] cleared, the MAC ignores received pause frames.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1245

Functional description

Optionally and independent of ENETn_RCR[FCE], pause frames are forwarded to the
client interface if PAUFWD is set.

45.5.6.2 Local device/FIFO congestion
The MAC transmit engine generates pause frames when the local receive FIFO is not
able to receive more than a pre-defined number of words (FIFO programmable threshold)
or when pause frame generation is requested by the local host processor.
• To generate a pause frame, the host processor sets ENETn_TCR[TFC_PAUSE]. A
single pause frame is generated when the current frame transfer is completed and
TFC_PAUSE is automatically cleared. Optionally, an interrupt is generated.
• An XOFF pause frame is generated when the receive FIFO asserts its section empty
flag (internal). An XOFF pause frame is generated automatically, when the current
frame transfer completes.
• An XON pause frame is generated when the receive FIFO deasserts its section empty
flag (internal). An XON pause frame is generated automatically, when the current
frame transfer completes.

the current frame is truncated with an error indication set in the
frame status word. The frame should subsequently be discarded
by the user application.

45.5.7 Magic packet detection
Magic packet detection wakes a node that is put in power-down mode by the node
management agent. Magic packet detection is supported only if the MAC is configured in
sleep mode.

45.5.7.1 Sleep mode
To put the MAC in Sleep mode, set ENETn_ECR[SLEEP]. At the same time
ENETn_ECR[MAGICEN] should also be set to enable magic packet detection.
In addition, when the processor is in Stop mode, Sleep mode is entered, without affecting
the ENETn_ECR register bits.
When the core is in Sleep mode:
• The MAC transmit logic is disabled.
• The core FIFO receive/transmit functions are disabled.
• The MAC receive logic is kept in Normal mode, but it ignores all traffic from the
line except magic packets. They are detected so that a remote agent can wake the
node.

45.5.7.2 Magic packet detection
The core is designed to detect magic packets with the destination address set to:
• Any multicast address
• The broadcast address
• The unicast address programmed in PADDR1/2
When a magic packet is detected, EIR[WAKEUP] is set and none of the statistic registers
are incremented.

1247

Functional description

45.5.7.3 Wakeup
When a magic packet is detected, indicated by ENETn_EIR[WAKEUP],
ENETn_ECR[SLEEP] should be cleared to resume normal operation of the MAC.
Clearing the SLEEP bit automatically masks ENETn_ECR[MAGICEN], disabling magic
packet detection.

45.5.8 IP accelerator functions
45.5.8.1 Checksum calculation
The IP and ICMP, TCP, UDP checksums are calculated with one's complement
arithmetic summing up 16-bit values.
• For ICMP, the checksum is calculated over the complete ICMP datagram, in other
words without IP header.
• For TCP and UDP, the checksums contain the header and data sections and values
from the IP header, which can be seen as a pseudo-header that is not actually present
in the data stream.

The TCP/UDP length value is the length of the TCP or UDP datagram, which is equal to
the payload of an IP datagram. It is derived by subtracting the IP header length from the
complete IP datagram length that is given in the IP header (IPv4), or directly taken from
the IP header (IPv6). The protocol field is the corresponding value from the IP header.
The Zero fields are all zeroes.
For IPv6, the complete 128-bit addresses are considered. The next header value identifies
the upper layer protocol as either TCP or UDP. It may differ from the next header value
of the IPv6 header if extension headers are inserted before the protocol header.
The checksum calculation uses 16-bit words in network byte order: The first byte sent/
received is the MSB, and the second byte sent/received is the LSB of the 16-bit value to
add to the checksum. If the frame ends on an odd number of bytes, a zero byte is
appended for checksum calculation only, and is not actually transmitted.

45.5.8.2 Additional padding processing
According to IEEE 802.3, any Ethernet frame must have a minimum length of 64 octets.
The MAC usually removes padding on receive when a frame with length information is
received. Because IP frames have a type value instead of length, the MAC does not
remove padding for short IP frames, as it is not aware of the frame contents.
The IP accelerator function can be configured to remove the Ethernet padding bytes that
might follow the IP datagram.
On transmit, the MAC automatically adds padding as necessary to fill any frame to a 64byte length.

45.5.8.3 32-bit Ethernet payload alignment
The data FIFOs allow inserting two additional arbitrary bytes in front of a frame. This
extends the 14-byte Ethernet header to a 16-byte header, which leads to alignment of the
Ethernet payload, following the Ethernet header, on a 32-bit boundary.
This function can be enabled for transmit and receive independently with the
corresponding SHIFT16 bits in the ENETn_TACC and ENETn_RACC registers.
When enabled, the valid frame data is arranged as shown in Table 45-127.

45.5.8.3.1

Receive processing

When ENETn_RACC[SHIFT16] is set, each frame is received with two additional bytes
in front of the frame.
The user application must ignore these first two bytes and find the first byte of the frame
in bits 23–16 of the first word from the RX FIFO.
Note
SHIFT16 must be set during initialization and kept set during
the complete operation, because it influences the FIFO write
behavior.
45.5.8.3.2

Transmit processing

When ENETn_TACC[SHIFT16] is set, the first two bytes of the first word written (bits
15–0) are discarded immediately by the FIFO write logic.
The SHIFT16 bit can be enabled/disabled for each frame individually if required, but can
be changed only between frames.

45.5.8.4 Received frame discard
Because the receive FIFO must be operated in store and forward mode (ENETn_RSFL
cleared), received frames can be discarded based on the following errors:
• The MAC function receives the frame with an error:
• The frame has an invalid payload length
• Frame length is greater than MAX_FL
• Frame received with a CRC-32 error
• Frame truncated due to receive FIFO overflow
• Frame is corrupted as PHY signaled an error (RX_ERR asserted during
reception)
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1250

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

• An IP frame is detected and the IP header checksum is wrong
• An IP frame with a valid IP header and a valid IP header checksum is detected, the
protocol is known but the protocol-specific checksum is wrong
If one of the errors occurs and the IP accelerator function is configured to discard frames
(ENETn_RACC), the frame is automatically discarded. Statistics are maintained
normally and are not affected by this discard function.

45.5.8.5 IPv4 fragments
When an IPv4 IP fragment frame is received, only the IP header is inspected and its
checksum verified. 32-bit alignment operates the same way on fragments as it does on
normal IP frames.
The IP fragment frame payload is not inspected for any protocol headers. As such, a
protocol header would only exist in the very first fragment. To assist in protocol-specific
checksum verification, the one's-complement sum is calculated on the IP payload (all
bytes following the IP header) and provided with the frame status word.
The frame fragment status field (RxBD[FRAG]) is set to indicate a fragment reception,
and the one's-complement sum of the IP payload is available in RxBD[Payload
checksum].
Note
After all fragments have been received and reassembled, the
application software can take advantage of the payload
checksum delivered with the frame's status word to calculate
the protocol-specific checksum of the datagram.
For example, if a TCP payload is delivered by multiple IP
fragments, the application software can calculate the pseudoheader checksum value from the first fragment, and add the
payload checksums delivered with the status for all fragments
to verify the TCP datagram checksum.

45.5.8.6 IPv6 support
The following sections describe the IPv6 support.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1251

Functional description

45.5.8.6.1

Receive processing

An Ethernet frame of type 0x86DD identifies an IP Version 6 frame (IPv6) frame. If an
IPv6 frame is received, the first IP header is inspected (first ten words), which is
available in every IPv6 frame.
If the receive SHIFT16 function is enabled, the IP header is aligned on a 32-bit boundary
allowing more efficient processing.
For TCP and UDP datagrams, the pseudo-header checksum calculation is performed and
verified.
To assist in protocol-specific checksum verification, the one's-complement sum is always
calculated on the IP payload (all bytes following the IP header) and provided with the
frame status word. For example, if extension headers were present, their sums can be
subtracted in software from the checksum to isolate the TCP/UDP datagram checksum, if
required.
45.5.8.6.2

Transmit processing

For IPv6 transmission, the SHIFT16 function is supported to process 32-bit aligned
datagrams.
IPv6 has no IP header checksum; therefore, the IP checksum insertion configuration is
ignored.
The protocol checksum is inserted only if the next header of the IP header is a known
protocol (TCP, UDP, or ICMP). If a known protocol is detected, the checksum over all
bytes following the IP header is calculated and inserted in the correct position.
The pseudo-header checksum calculation is performed for TCP and UDP datagrams
accordingly.

45.5.9 Resets and stop controls
45.5.9.1 Hardware reset
To reset the Ethernet module, set ENETn_ECR[RESET].

45.5.9.2 Soft reset
When ENETn_ECR[ETHER_EN] is cleared during operation, the following occurs:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1252

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

• DMA, buffer descriptor, and FIFO control logic are reset, including the buffer
descriptor and FIFO pointers.
• A currently ongoing transmit is terminated by asserting TXER to the PHY.
• A currently ongoing transmit FIFO write from the application is terminated by
stopping the write to the FIFO, and all further data from the application is ignored.
All subsequent writes are ignored until re-enabled.
• A currently ongoing receive FIFO read is terminated. The RxBD has arbitrary values
in this case.

45.5.9.3 Hardware freeze
When the processor enters debug mode and ECR[DBGEN] is set, the MAC enters a
freeze state where it stops all transmit and receive activities gracefully.
The following happens when the MAC enters hardware freeze:
• A currently ongoing receive transaction on the receive application interface is
completed as normal. No further frames are read from the FIFO.
• A currently ongoing transmit transaction on the transmit application interface is
completed as normal (in other words, until writing end-of-packet (EOP)).
• A currently ongoing frame receive is completed normally, after which no further
frames are accepted from the MII.
• A currently ongoing frame transmit is completed normally, after which no further
frames are transmitted.

45.5.9.4 Graceful stop
During a graceful stop, any currently ongoing transactions are completed normally and
no further frames are accepted. The MAC can resume from a graceful stop without the
need for a reset (for example, clearing ETHER_EN is not required).
The following conditions lead to a graceful stop of the MAC transmit or receive
datapaths.

Functional description

45.5.9.4.1

Graceful transmit stop (GTS)

When gracefully stopped, the MAC is no longer reading frame data from the transmit
FIFO and has completed any ongoing transmission.
In any of the following conditions, the transmit datapath stops after an ongoing frame
transmission has been completed normally.
• ENETn_TCR[GTS] is set by software.
• ENETn_TCR[TFC_PAUSE] is set by software requesting a pause frame
transmission. The status (and register bit) is cleared after the pause frame has been
sent.
• A pause frame was received stopping the transmitter. The stopped situation is
terminated when the pause timer expires or a pause frame with zero quanta is
received.
• MAC is placed in Sleep mode by software or the processor entering Stop mode (see
Sleep mode).
• The MAC is in Hardware Freeze mode.
When the transmitter has reached its stopped state, the following events occur:
• The GRA interrupt is asserted, when transitioned into stopped.
• In Hardware Freeze mode, the GRA interrupt does not wait for the application write
completion and asserts when the transmit state machine (in other words, line side of
TX FIFO) reaches its stopped state.
45.5.9.4.2

Graceful receive stop (GRS)

When gracefully stopped, the MAC is no longer writing frames into the receive FIFO.
The receive datapath stops after any ongoing frame reception has been completed
normally, if any of the following conditions occur:
• MAC is placed in Sleep mode either by the software or the processor is in Stop
mode). The MAC continues to receive frames and search for magic packets if
enabled (see Magic packet detection). However, no frames are written into the
receive FIFO, and therefore are not forwarded to the application.
• The MAC is in Hardware Freeze mode. The MAC does not accept any frames from
the MII.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

When the receive datapath is stopped, the following events occur:
• If the RX is in the stopped state, RCR[GRS] is set
• The GRA interrupt is asserted when the transmitter and receiver are stopped
• Any ongoing receive transaction to the application (RX FIFO read) continues
normally until the frame end of package (EOP) is reached. After this, the following
occurs:
• When Sleep mode is active, all further frames are discarded, flushing the RX
FIFO
• In Hardware Freeze mode, no further frames are delivered to the application and
they stay in the receive FIFO.
Note
The assertion of GRS does not wait for an ongoing FIFO read
transaction on the application side of the FIFO (FIFO read).
45.5.9.4.3

Graceful stop interrupt (GRA)

The graceful stopped interrupt (GRA) is asserted for the following conditions:
• In Sleep mode, the interrupt asserts only after both TX and RX datapaths are stopped.
• In Hardware Freeze mode, the interrupt asserts only after both TX and RX datapaths
are stopped.
• The MAC transmit datapath is stopped for any other condition (GTS, TFC_PAUSE,
pause received).
The GRA interrupt is triggered only once when the stopped state is entered. If the
interrupt is cleared while the stop condition persists, no further interrupt is triggered.

45.5.10 IEEE 1588 functions
To allow for IEEE 1588 or similar time synchronization protocol implementations, the
MAC is combined with a time-stamping module to support precise time-stamping of
incoming and outgoing frames. Set ENETn_ECR[EN1588] to enable 1588 support.

45.5.10.1 Adjustable timer module
The adjustable timer module (TSM) implements the free-running counter (FRC), which
generates the timestamps. The FRC operates with the time-stamping clock, which can be
set to any value depending on your system requirements.
ENET time-stamp clock can be sourced either externally from ENET_1588_CLKIN PAD
or from inner anadig ENET PLL. However, choose a period that is an integer value (e.g.
5 ns, 6 ns, 8 ns) to implement a precise timer.
Through dedicated correction logic, the timer can be adjusted to allow synchronization to
a remote master and provide a synchronized timing reference to the local system. The
timer can be configured to cause an interrupt after a fixed time period, to allow
synchronization of software timers or perform other synchronized system functions.
The timer is typically used to implement a period of one second; hence, its value ranges
from 0 to (1 × 109)-1. The period event can trigger an interrupt, and software can
maintain the seconds and hours time values as necessary.

45.5.10.1.1

Adjustable timer implementation

The adjustable timer consists of a programmable counter/accumulator and a correction
counter. The periods of both counters and their increment rates are freely configurable,
allowing very fine tuning of the timer.

Figure 45-110. Adjustable timer implementation detail

The counter produces the current time. During each time-stamping clock cycle, a constant
value is added to the current time as programmed in ENETn_ATINC. The value depends
on the chosen time-stamping clock frequency. For example, if it operates at 125 MHz,
setting the increment to eight represents 8 ns.
The period, configured in ENETn_ATPER, defines the modulo when the counter wraps.
In a typical implementation, the period is set to 1 × 109 so that the counter wraps every
second, and hence all timestamps represent the absolute nanoseconds within the one
second period. When the period is reached, the counter wraps to start again respecting the
period modulo. This means it does not necessarily start from zero, but instead the counter
is loaded with the value (Current + Inc –(1 × 109)), assuming the period is set to 1 × 109.
The correction counter operates fully independently, and increments by one with each
time-stamping clock cycle. When it reaches the value configured in ENETn_ATCOR, it
restarts and instructs the timer once to increment by the correction value, instead of the
normal value.
The normal and correction increments are configured in ENETn_ATINC. To speed up
the timer, set the correction increment more than the normal increment value. To slow
down the timer, set the correction increment less than the normal increment value.
The correction counter only defines the distance of the corrective actions, not the amount.
This allows very fine corrections and low jitter (in the range of 1 ns) independent of the
chosen clock frequency.

Functional description

By enabling slave mode (ENETn_ATCR[SLAVE] = 1), the timer is ignored and the
current time is externally provided from one of the external modules. See the Chip
Configuration details for which clock source is used. This is useful if multiple modules
within the system must operate from a single timer. When slave mode is enabled, you
still must set ENETn_ATINC[INC] to the value of the master, since it is used for internal
comparisons.

45.5.10.2 Transmit timestamping
Only 1588 event frames need to be time-stamped on transmit. The client application (for
example, the MAC driver) should detect 1588 event frames and set TxBD[TS] together
with the frame.
If TxBD[TS] is set, the MAC records the timestamp for the frame in ENETn_ATSTMP.
ENETn_EIR[TS_AVAIL] is set to indicate that a new timestamp is available.
Software implements a handshaking procedure by setting TxBD[TS] when it transmits
the frame for which a timestamp is needed, and then waits for ENETn_EIR[TS_AVAIL]
to determine when the timestamp is available. The timestamp is then read from
ENETn_ATSTMP. This is done for all event frames. Other frames do not use TxBD[TS]
and, therefore, do not interfere with the timestamp capture.

45.5.10.3 Receive timestamping
When a frame is received, the MAC latches the value of the timer when the frame's start
of frame delimiter (SFD) field is detected, and provides the captured timestamp on
RxBD[1588 timestamp]. This is done for all received frames.

45.5.10.4 Time synchronization
The adjustable timer module is available to synchronize the local clock of a node to a
remote master. It implements a free running 32-bit counter, and also contains an
additional correction counter.
The correction counter increases or decreases the rate of the free running counter,
enabling very fine granular changes of the timer for synchronization, yet adding only
very low jitter when performing corrections.
The application software implements, in a slave scenario, the required control algorithm,
setting the correction to compensate for local oscillator drifts and locking the timer to the
remote master clock on the network.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

The timer and all timestamp-related information should be configured to show the true
nanoseconds value of a second (in other words, the timer is configured to have a period
of one second). Hence, the values range from 0 to (1 × 109)–1. In this application, the
seconds counter is implemented in software using an interrupt function that is executed
when the nanoseconds counter wraps at 1 × 109.

45.5.11 FIFO thresholds
The core FIFO thresholds are fully programmable to dynamically change the FIFO
operation.
For example, store and forward transfer can be enabled by a simple change in the FIFO
threshold registers.
The thresholds are defined in 64-bit words.

45.5.11.1 Receive FIFO
Four programmable thresholds are available, which can be set to any value to control the
core operation.
Table 45-128. Receive FIFO thresholds definition
Register

Description

ENETn_RSFL

When the FIFO level reaches the ENETn_RSFL value, the MAC status signal is asserted to indicate that
data is available in the receive FIFO (cut-through operation). Once asserted, if the FIFO empties below the
[RX_SECTION_F
threshold set with ENETn_RAEM and if the end-of-frame is not yet stored in the FIFO, the status signal is
ULL]
deasserted again.
If a frame has a size smaller than the threshold (in other words, an end-of-frame is available for the
frame), the status is also asserted.
To enable store and forward on the receive path, clear ENETn_RSFL. The MAC status signal is asserted
only when a complete frame is stored in the receive FIFO.
When programming a non-zero value to ENETn_RSFL (cut-through operation) it should be greater than
ENETn_RAEM.
ENETn_RAEM

When the FIFO level reaches the ENETn_RAEM value, and the end-of-frame has not been received, the
core receive read control stops the FIFO read (and subsequently stops transferring data to the MAC client
[RX_ALMOST_E
application).
MPTY]
It continues to deliver the frame, if again more data than the threshold or the end-of-frame is available in
the FIFO.
Set ENETn_RAEM to a minimum of six.

ENETn_RAFL

When the FIFO level approaches the maximum and there is no more space remaining for at least

ENETn_TAFL
[TX_ALMOST
_FULL]

Description
When the FIFO level approaches the maximum, so that there is no more space for at least ENETn_TAFL
number of words, the MAC deasserts its control signal to the application.
If the application does not react on this signal, the FIFO write control logic avoids FIFO overflow by
truncating the current frame and setting the error status. As a result, the frame is transmitted with an MII
error indication.
Set ENETn_TAFL to a minimum of 4. Larger values allow more latency for the application to react on the
MAC control signal deassertion, before the frame is truncated. A typical setting is 8, which offers 3–4 clock
cycles of latency to the application to react on the MAC control signal deassertion.

ENETn_TSEM
[TX_SECTION
_EMPTY]

When the FIFO level reaches the ENETn_TSEM value, a MAC status signal is deasserted to indicate that
the transmit FIFO is getting full. This gives the ENET module an indication to slow or stop its write
transaction to avoid a buffer overflow. This is a pure indication function to the application. It has no effect
within the MAC.
When ENETn_TSEM is 0, the signal is never deasserted.

ENETn_TFWR

When the FIFO level reaches the ENETn_TFWR value and when STRFWD is cleared, the MAC transmit
control logic starts frame transmission before the end-of-frame is available in the FIFO (cut-through
operation).
If a complete frame has a size smaller than the ENETn_TFWR threshold, the MAC also transmits the
frame to the line.
To enable store and forward on the transmit path, set STRFWD. In this case, the MAC starts to transmit
data only when a complete frame is stored in the transmit FIFO.

45.5.15 Client FIFO application interface
The FIFO interface is completely asynchronous from the Ethernet line, and the transmit
and receive interface can operate at a different clock rate.
All transfers to/from the user application are handled independently of the core operation,
and the core provides a simple interface to user applications based on a two-signal
handshake.

45.5.15.1 Data structure description
The data structure defined in the following tables for the FIFO interface must be
respected to ensure proper data transmission on the Ethernet line. Byte 0 is sent to and
received from the line first.

Chapter 45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC (ENET)

The size of a frame on the FIFO interface may not be a modulo of 64-bit.
The user application may not care about the Ethernet frame formats in full detail. It needs
to provide and receive an Ethernet frame with the following structure:
• Ethernet MAC destination address
• Ethernet MAC source address
• Optional 802.1q VLAN tag (VLAN type and info field)
• Ethernet length/type field
• Payload
Frames on the FIFO interface do not contain preamble and SFD fields, which are inserted
and discarded by the MAC on transmit and receive, respectively.
• On receive, CRC and frame padding can be stripped or passed through transparently.
• On transmit, padding and CRC can be provided by the user application, or appended
automatically by the MAC independently for each frame. No size restrictions apply.
Note
On transmit, if ENETn_TCR[ADDINS] is set, bytes 6–11 of
each frame can be set to any value, since the MAC overwrites
the bytes with the MAC address programmed in the
ENETn_PAUR and ENETn_PALR registers.

If CRC forwarding is enabled (CRCFWD = 0), the last four valid octets of the frame
contain the FCS field. The non-significant bytes of the last word can have any value.

45.5.15.3 Frame status
A MAC layer status word and an accelerator status word is available in the receive buffer
descriptor.
The status is available with each frame with the last data of the frame.
If the frame status contains a MAC layer error (for example, CRC or length error),
RxBD[ME] is also set with the last data of the frame.

45.5.16 FIFO protection
45.5.16.1 Transmit FIFO underflow
During a frame transfer, when the transmit FIFO reaches the almost empty threshold with
no end-of-frame indication stored in the FIFO, the MAC logic:
• Stops reading data from the FIFO
• Asserts the MII error signal (MII_TXER) (1 in Figure 45-116) to indicate that the
fragment already transferred is not valid
• Deasserts the MII transmit enable signal (MII_TXEN) to terminate the frame transfer
(2)
After an underflow, when the application completes the frame transfer (3), the MAC
transmit logic discards any new data available in the FIFO until the end of packet is
reached (4) and sets the enhanced TxBD[UE] field.
The MAC starts to transfer data on the MII interface when the application sends a new
frame with a start of frame indication (5).

45.5.16.2 Transmit FIFO overflow
On the transmit path, when the FIFO reaches the programmable almost full threshold, the
internal MAC ready signal is deasserted. The application should stop sending new data.
However, if the application keeps sending data, the transmit FIFO overflows, corrupting
contents that were previously stored. The core logic sets the enhanced TxBD[OE] field
for the next frame transmitted to indicate this overflow occurence.
Note
Overflow is a fatal error and must be addressed by resetting the
core or clearing ENETn_ECR[ETHER_EN], to clear the FIFOs
and prepare for normal operation again.

45.5.16.3 Receive FIFO overflow
During a frame reception, if the client application is not able to receive data (1), the MAC
receive control truncates the incoming frame when the FIFO reaches the programmable
almost-full threshold to avoid an overflow.
The frame is subsequently received on the FIFO interface with an error indication
(enhanced RxBD[ME] field set together with receive end-of-packet) (2) with the
truncation error status field set (3).

45.5.18 PHY management interface
The MDIO interface is a two-wire management interface. The MDIO management
interface implements a standardized method to access the PHY device management
registers.
The core implements a master MDIO interface, which can be connected to up to 32 PHY
devices.

45.5.18.1 MDIO frame format
The core MDIO master controller communicates with the slave (PHY device) using
frames that are defined in the following table.
A complete frame has a length of 64 bits made up of an optional 32-bit preamble, 14-bit
command, 2-bit bus direction change, and 16-bit data. Each bit is transferred on the rising
edge of the MDIO clock (MDC signal).
The core PHY management interface supports the standard MDIO specification
(IEEE803.2 Clause 22).

Universal Serial Bus Full Speed OTG Controller
(USBFSOTG)
46.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
This section describes the USB full speed OTG controller. The OTG implementation in
this module provides limited host functionality and device solutions for implementing a
USB 2.0 full-speed/low-speed compliant peripheral. The OTG implementation supports
the On-The-Go (OTG) addendum to the USB 2.0 Specification. The USB full speed
controller interfaces to a USBFS/LS transceiver.

46.1.1 USB
The USB is a cable bus that supports data exchange between a host computer and a wide
range of simultaneously accessible peripherals. The attached peripherals share USB
bandwidth through a host-scheduled, token-based protocol. The bus allows peripherals to
be attached, configured, used, and detached while the host and other peripherals are in
operation.
USB software provides a uniform view of the system for all application software, hiding
implementation details making application software more portable. It manages the
dynamic attach and detach of peripherals.
There is only one host in any USB system. The USB interface to the host computer
system is referred to as the Host Controller.

Introduction

There may be multiple USB devices in any system such as joysticks, speakers, printers,
etc. USB devices present a standard USB interface in terms of comprehension, response,
and standard capability.
The host initiates transactions to specific peripherals, whereas the device responds to
control transactions. The device sends and receives data to and from the host using a
standard USB data format. USB 2.0 full-speed /low-speed peripherals operate at 12Mbit/s
or 1.5 Mbit/s.

46.1.2 USB On-The-Go
USB is a popular standard for connecting peripherals and portable consumer electronic
devices such as digital cameras and tablets to host PCs. The On-The-Go (OTG)
Supplement to the USB Specification extends USB to peer-to-peer application. Using
USB OTG technology, consumer electronics, peripherals, and portable devices can
connect to each other to exchange data. For example, a digital camera can connect
directly to a printer, or a keyboard can connect to a tablet to exchange data.
With the USB On-The-Go product, you can develop a fully USB-compliant peripheral
device that can also assume the role of a USB host. Software determines the role of the
device based on hardware signals, and then initializes the device in the appropriate mode
of operation (host or peripheral) based on how it is connected. After connecting, the
devices can negotiate using the OTG protocols to assume the role of host or peripheral
based on the task to be accomplished.

46.2 Functional description
USBOTG communicates with the processor core through status registers, control
registers, and data structures in memory.

46.2.1 Data Structures
To efficiently manage USB endpoint communications, USBFS implements a Buffer
Descriptor Table (BDT) in system memory. See Figure 46-3.

46.3 Programmers interface
This section discusses the major components of the programming model for the USB
module.

46.3.1 Buffer Descriptor Table
To efficiently manage USB endpoint communications USBFS implements a Buffer
Descriptor Table (BDT) in system memory. The BDT resides on a 512-byte boundary in
system memory and is pointed to by the BDT Page Registers. Every endpoint direction
requires two 8-byte Buffer Descriptor (BD) entries. Therefore, a system with 16 fully
bidirectional endpoints would require 512 bytes of system memory to implement the
BDT. The two BD entries allows for an EVEN BD and ODD BD entry for each endpoint
direction. This allows the microprocessor to process one BD while USBFS is processing
the other BD. Double buffering BDs in this way allows USBFS to transfer data easily at
the maximum throughput provided by USB.
Software should manage buffers for USBFS by updating the BDT when needed. This
allows USBFS to efficiently manage data transmission and reception, while the
microprocessor performs communication overhead processing and other function
dependent applications. Because the buffers are shared between the microprocessor and
USBFS, a simple semaphore mechanism is used to distinguish who is allowed to update
the BDT and buffers in system memory. A semaphore, the OWN bit, is cleared to 0 when
the BD entry is owned by the microprocessor. The microprocessor is allowed read and
write access to the BD entry and the buffer in system memory when the OWN bit is 0.
When the OWN bit is set to 1, the BD entry and the buffer in system memory are owned
by USBFS. USBFS now has full read and write access and the microprocessor must not

modify the BD or its corresponding data buffer. The BD also contains indirect address
pointers to where the actual buffer resides in system memory. This indirect address
mechanism is shown in the following diagram.

46.3.2 RX vs. TX as a USB target device or USB host
The USBFS core uses software control to switch between two modes of operation:
• USB target device
• USB hosts
In either mode, USB host or USB target device, the same data paths and buffer
descriptors are used for the transmission and reception of data. For this reason, a USBFS
core-centric nomenclature is used to describe the direction of the data transfer between
the USBFS core and USB:
• "RX" (or "receive") describes transfers that move data from USB to memory.
• "TX" (or "transmit") describes transfers that move data from memory to USB.
The following table shows how the data direction corresponds to the USB token type in
host and target device applications.

46.3.3 Addressing BDT entries
An understanding of the addressing mechanism of the Buffer Descriptor Table is useful
when accessing endpoint data via USBFS or microprocessor. Some points of interest are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The BDT occupies up to 512 bytes of system memory.
16 bidirectional endpoints can be supported with a full BDT of 512 bytes.
16 bytes are needed for each USB endpoint direction.
Applications with fewer than 16 endpoints require less RAM to implement the BDT.
The BDT Page Registers (BDT_PAGE) point to the starting location of the BDT.
The BDT must be located on a 512-byte boundary in system memory.
All enabled TX and RX endpoint BD entries are indexed into the BDT to allow easy
access via USBFS or MCU core.

When a USB token on an enabled endpoint is received, USBFS uses its integrated DMA
controller to interrogate the BDT. USBFS reads the corresponding endpoint BD entry to
determine whether it owns the BD and corresponding buffer in system memory.
To compute the entry point in to the BDT, the BDT_PAGE registers is concatenated with
the current endpoint and the TX and ODD fields to form a 32-bit address. This address
mechanism is shown in the following tables:

46.3.4 Buffer Descriptors (BDs)
A buffer descriptor provides endpoint buffer control information for USBFS and the
processor. The Buffer Descriptors have different meaning based on whether it is USBFS
or the processor reading the BD in memory.
The USBFS Controller uses the data stored in the BDs to determine:
• Who owns the buffer in system memory
• Data0 or Data1 PID
• Whether to release ownership upon packet completion
• No address increment (FIFO mode)
• Whether data toggle synchronization is enabled
• How much data is to be transmitted or received
• Where the buffer resides in system memory
While the processor uses the data stored in the BDs to determine:
• Who owns the buffer in system memory
• Data0 or Data1 PID
• The received TOKEN PID
• How much data was transmitted or received
• Where the buffer resides in system memory
The format for the BD is shown in the following figure.

Typically, this bit is 1 with ISO endpoints feeding a FIFO. The microprocessor is not informed that a
token has been processed, the data is simply transferred to or from the FIFO. When KEEP is set,
normally the NINC bit is also set to prevent address increment.
0 Bit 3 of the current token PID is written back to the BD by USBFS. Allows USBFS to release the
BD when a token has been processed.
1 This bit is unchanged by USBFS. If the OWN bit also is set, the BD remains owned by USBFS
forever.

NINC/
TOK_PID[2]

No Increment (NINC)
Disables the DMA engine address increment. This forces the DMA engine to read or write from the
same address. This is useful for endpoints when data needs to be read from or written to a single
location such as a FIFO. Typically this bit is set with the KEEP bit for ISO endpoints that are
interfacing to a FIFO.
0 USBFS writes bit 2 of the current token PID to the BD.
1 This bit is unchanged by USBFS.

0 Data Toggle Synchronization is disabled.
1 Enables USBFS to perform Data Toggle Synchronization.

BDT_STALL
TOK_PID[0]

Description
Setting this bit causes USBFS to issue a STALL handshake if a token is received by the SIE that
would use the BDT in this location. The BDT is not consumed by the SIE (the owns bit remains set
and the rest of the BDT is unchanged) when a BDT-STALL bit is set.
• If KEEP=0, bit 0 of the current token PID is written back to the BD.
• If KEEP=1, this bit is unchanged by USBFS.
0 No stall issued.
1 The BDT is not consumed by the SIE (the OWN bit remains set and the rest of the BDT is
unchanged).
Setting BDT_STALL also causes the corresponding USB_ENDPTn[EPSTALL] bit to set. This
causes USBOTG to issue a STALL handshake for both directions of the associated endpoint. To
clear the stall condition:
1. Clear the associated USB_ENDPTn[EPSTALL] bit.
2. Write the BDT to clear OWN and BDT_STALL.

TOK_PID[n]

Bits [5:2] can also represent the current token PID. The current token PID is written back in to the
BD by USBFS when a transfer completes. The values written back are the token PID values from
the USB specification:
• 0x1h for an OUT token.
• 0x9h for an IN token.
• 0xDh for a SETUP token.

46.3.5 USB transaction
When USBFS transmits or receives data, it computes the BDT address using the address
generation shown in "Addressing Buffer Descriptor Entries" table.
If OWN =1, the following process occurs:
1. USBFS reads the BDT.
2. The SIE transfers the data via the DMA to or from the buffer pointed to by the
ADDR field of the BD.

4. The STAT register is updated and the TOK_DNE interrupt is set.
5. When the processor processes the TOK_DNE interrupt, it reads from the status
register all the information needed to process the endpoint.
6. At this point, the processor allocates a new BD so that additional USB data can be
transmitted or received for that endpoint, and then processes the last BD.
The following figure shows a timeline of how a typical USB token is processed after the
BDT is read and OWN=1.

Figure 46-4. USB token transaction

The USB has two sources for the DMA overrun error:
Memory Latency
The memory latency may be too high and cause the receive FIFO to overflow. This is
predominantly a hardware performance issue, usually caused by transient memory access
issues.
Oversized Packets
The packet received may be larger than the negotiated MaxPacket size. Typically, this is
caused by a software bug. For DMA overrun errors due to oversized data packets, the
USB specification is ambiguous. It assumes correct software drivers on both sides.
NAKing the packet can result in retransmission of the already oversized packet data.
Therefore, in response to oversized packets, the USB core continues ACKing the packet
for non-isochronous transfers.

canceling the transfer, disabling the endpoint, etc.

This interrupt is useful when developing device arbitration hardware for the microprocessor and the USB
module to minimize bus request and bus grant latency. This bit is also set if a data packet to or from the
host is larger than the buffer size allocated in the BDT. In this case the data packet is truncated as it is put
in buffer memory.

BTOERR

This bit is set when a bus turnaround timeout error occurs. The USB module contains a bus turnaround
timer that keeps track of the amount of time elapsed between the token and data phases of a SETUP or
OUT TOKEN or the data and handshake phases of a IN TOKEN. If more than 16 bit times are counted
from the previous EOP before a transition from IDLE, a bus turnaround timeout error occurs.

3

CRC5EOF

This bit is set when a data packet is rejected due to a CRC16 error.
This error interrupt has two functions. When the USB Module is operating in peripheral mode
(HOSTMODEEN=0), this interrupt detects CRC5 errors in the token packets generated by the host. If set
the token packet was rejected due to a CRC5 error.
When the USB Module is operating in host mode (HOSTMODEEN=1), this interrupt detects End Of Frame
(EOF) error conditions. This occurs when the USB Module is transmitting or receiving data and the SOF
counter reaches zero. This interrupt is useful when developing USB packet scheduling software to ensure
that no USB transactions cross the start of the next frame.

0
PIDERR

This bit is set when the PID check field fails.

46.4.12 Error Interrupt Enable register (USBx_ERREN)
Contains enable bits for each of the error interrupt sources within the USB module.

46.4.13 Status register (USBx_STAT)
Reports the transaction status within the USB module. When the processor's interrupt
controller has received a TOKDNE, interrupt the Status Register must be read to
determine the status of the previous endpoint communication. The data in the status
register is valid when TOKDNE interrupt is asserted. The Status register is actually a
read window into a status FIFO maintained by the USB module. When the USB module
uses a BD, it updates the Status register. If another USB transaction is performed before
the TOKDNE interrupt is serviced, the USB module stores the status of the next
transaction in the STAT FIFO. Thus STAT is actually a four byte FIFO that allows the
processor core to process one transaction while the SIE is processing the next transaction.
Clearing the TOKDNE bit in the ISTAT register causes the SIE to update STAT with the
contents of the next STAT value. If the data in the STAT holding register is valid, the
SIE immediately reasserts to TOKDNE interrupt.

uniquely address any USB peripheral. In either mode, CTL[USBENSOFEN] must be 1.
The Address register is reset to 0x00 after the reset input becomes active or the USB
module decodes a USB reset signal. This action initializes the Address register to decode
address 0x00 as required by the USB specification.

46.4.19 Token register (USBx_TOKEN)
Used to initiate USB transactions when in host mode (HOSTMODEEN=1). When the
software needs to execute a USB transaction to a peripheral, it writes the TOKEN type
and endpoint to this register. After this register has been written, the USB module begins
the specified USB transaction to the address contained in the address register. The
processor core must always check that the TOKEN_BUSY bit in the control register is
not 1 before writing to the Token Register. This ensures that the token commands are not
overwritten before they can be executed. The address register and endpoint control
register 0 are also used when performing a token command and therefore must also be
written before the Token Register. The address register is used to select the USB
peripheral address transmitted by the token command. The endpoint control register
determines the handshake and retry policies used during the transfer.

46.4.20 SOF Threshold register (USBx_SOFTHLD)
The SOF Threshold Register is used only in Host mode (HOSTMODEEN=1). When in
Host mode, the 14-bit SOF counter counts the interval between SOF frames. The SOF
must be transmitted every 1ms so therefore the SOF counter is loaded with a value of
12000. When the SOF counter reaches zero, a Start Of Frame (SOF) token is transmitted.
The SOF threshold register is used to program the number of USB byte times before the
SOF to stop initiating token packet transactions. This register must be set to a value that
ensures that other packets are not actively being transmitted when the SOF time counts to
zero. When the SOF counter reaches the threshold value, no more tokens are transmitted
until after the SOF has been transmitted.
The value programmed into the threshold register must reserve enough time to ensure the
worst case transaction completes. In general the worst case transaction is an IN token
followed by a data packet from the target followed by the response from the host. The
actual time required is a function of the maximum packet size on the bus.
Typical values for the SOF threshold are:
•
•
•
•

64-byte packets=74;
32-byte packets=42;
16-byte packets=26;
8-byte packets=18.

46.5 OTG and Host mode operation
The Host mode logic allows devices such as digital cameras and palmtop computers to
function as a USB Host Controller. The OTG logic adds an interface to allow the OTG
Host Negotiation and Session Request Protocols (HNP and SRP) to be implemented in
software. Host Mode allows a peripheral such as a digital camera to be connected directly
to a USB compliant printer. Digital photos can then be easily printed without being
uploaded to a PC. In the palmtop computer application, a USB compliant keyboard/
mouse can be connected to the palmtop computer with the obvious advantages of easier
interaction.
Host mode is intended for use in handheld-portable devices to allow easy connection to
simple HID class devices such as printers and keyboards. It is not intended to perform the
functions of a full OHCI or UHCI compatible host controller found on PC motherboards.

Chapter 46 Universal Serial Bus Full Speed OTG Controller (USBFSOTG)

The USB-FS is not supported by Windows as a USB host controller. Host mode allows
bulk, isochronous, interrupt and control transfers. Bulk data transfers are performed at
nearly the full USB interface bandwidth. Support is provided for ISO transfers, but the
number of ISO streams that can be practically supported is affected by the interrupt
latency of the processor servicing the Token Done interrupts from the SIE. Custom
drivers must be written to support Host mode operation.
Setting the HOST_MODE_EN bit in the CTL register enables Host mode. The USB-FS
core can only operate as a peripheral device or in Host mode. It cannot operate in both
modes simultaneously. When HOST_MODE is enabled, only endpoint zero is used. All
other endpoints should be disabled by software.

46.6 Host Mode Operation Examples
The following sections illustrate the steps required to perform USB host functions using
the USB-FS core. While it is useful to understand the interaction of the hardware and the
software at a detailed level, an understanding of the interactions at this level is not
required to write host applications using the API software.
To enable host mode and discover a connected device:
1. Enable Host Mode (CTL[HOST_MODE_EN]=1). The pull-down resistors are
enabled, and pull-up disabled. Start of Frame (SOF) generation begins. SOF counter
loaded with 12,000. Disable SOF packet generation to eliminate noise on the USB by
writing the USB enable bit to 0 (CTL[USB_EN]=0).
2. Enable the ATTACH interrupt (INT_ENB[ATTACH]=1).
3. Wait for ATTACH interrupt (INT_STAT[ATTACH]). Signaled by USB Target pullup resistor changing the state of DPLUS or DMINUS from 0 to 1 (SE0 to J or K
state).
4. Check the state of the JSTATE and SE0 bits in the control register. If the connecting
device is low speed (JSTATE bit is 0), set the low-speed bit in the address registers
(ADDR[LS_EN]=1) and the Host Without Hub bit in endpoint 0 register control
(ENDPT0[HOSTWOHUB]=1).
5. Enable RESET (CTL[RESET]=1) for 10 ms.
6. Enable SOF packet to keep the connected device from going to suspend
(CTL[USB_EN=1]).

7. Enumerate the attached device by sending the appropriate commands to the default
control pipe of the connected device. See the Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0
specification, "Chapter 9 USB Device Framework" (http://www.usb.org/developers/
docs).
To complete a control transaction to a connected device:
1. Complete all the steps to discover a connected device
2. Set up the endpoint control register for bidirectional control transfers ENDPT0[4:0]
= 0x0d.
3. Place a copy of the device framework setup command in a memory buffer. See the
Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification, "Chapter 9 USB Device Framework"
(http://www.usb.org/developers/docs).
4. Initialize current even or odd TX EP0 BDT to transfer the 8 bytes of command data
for a device framework command (for example, a GET DEVICE DESCRIPTOR).
• Set the BDT command word to 0x00080080 –Byte count to 8, OWN bit to 1.
• Set the BDT buffer address field to the start address of the 8 byte command
buffer.
5. Set the USB device address of the target device in the address register (ADDR[6:0]).
After the USB bus reset, the device USB address is zero. It is set to some other value
usually 1 by the Set Address device framework command.
6. Write the token register with a SETUP to Endpoint 0 the target device default control
pipe (TOKEN=0xD0). This initiates a setup token on the bus followed by a data
packet. The device handshake is returned in the BDT PID field after the packets
complete. When the BDT is written, a token done (ISTAT[TOKDNE]) interrupt is
asserted. This completes the setup phase of the setup transaction. See the Universal
Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification, "Chapter 9 USB Device Framework" (http://
www.usb.org/developers/docs).
7. To initiate the data phase of the setup transaction (that is, get the data for the GET
DEVICE DESCRIPTOR command), set up a buffer in memory for the data to be
transferred.
8. Initialize the current even or odd TX EP0 BDT to transfer the data.
• Set the BDT command word to 0x004000C0 – BC to 64 (the byte count of the
data buffer in this case), OWN bit to 1, Data toggle to Data1.
• Set the BDT buffer address field to the start address of the data buffer

9. Write the token register with a IN or OUT token to Endpoint 0 the target device
default control pipe, an IN token for a GET DEVICE DESCRIPTOR command
(TOKEN=0x90). This initiates an IN token on the bus followed by a data packet
from the device to the host. When the data packet completes, the BDT is written and
a token done (ISTAT[DNE]) interrupt is asserted. For control transfers with a single
packet data phase this completes the data phase of the setup transaction. See the
Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification, "Chapter 9 USB Device Framework"
(http://www.usb.org/developers/docs).
10. To initiate the status phase of the setup transaction, set up a buffer in memory to
receive or send the zero length status phase data packet.
11. Initialize the current even or odd TX EP0 BDT to transfer the status data.
• Set the BDT command word to 0x00000080 – BC to 0 (the byte count of the
data buffer in this case), OWN bit to 1, Data toggle to Data1.
• Set the BDT buffer address field to the start address of the data buffer
12. Write the token register with a IN or OUT token to Endpoint 0 the target device
default control pipe, an OUT token for a GET DEVICE DESCRIPTOR command
(TOKEN=0x10). This initiates an OUT token on the bus followed by a zero length
data packet from the host to the device. When the data packet completes, the BDT is
written with the handshake from the device and a Token Done (ISTAT[TOKDNE])
interrupt is asserted. This completes the data phase of the setup transaction. See the
Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification, "Chapter 9 USB Device Framework"
(http://www.usb.org/developers/docs).
To send a full speed bulk data transfer to a target device:
1. Complete all steps to discover a connected device and to configure a connected
device. Write the ADDR register with the address of the target device. Typically,
there is only one other device on the USB bus in host mode so it is expected that the
address is 0x01 and should remain constant.
2. Write 0x1D to ENDPT0 register to enable transmit and receive transfers with
handshaking enabled.
3. Setup the even TX EP0 BDT to transfer up to 64 bytes.
4. Set the USB device address of the target device in the address register (ADDR[6:0]).
5. Write the TOKEN register with an OUT token to the desired endpoint. The write to
this register triggers the USB-FS transmit state machines to begin transmitting the
TOKEN and the data.

On-The-Go operation

6. Setup the odd TX EP0 BDT to transfer up to 64 bytes.
7. Write the TOKEN register with an OUT token as in step 4. Two tokens can be
queued at a time to allow the packets to be double buffered to achieve maximum
throughput.
8. Wait for the TOKDNE interrupt. This indicates that one of the BDTs has been
released back to the processor and the transfer has completed. If the target device
asserts NAKs, the USB-FS continues to retry the transfer indefinitely without
processor intervention unless the ENDPT0[RETRYDIS] is 1. If the retry disable field
is set, the handshake (ACK, NAK, STALL, or ERROR (0xf)) is returned in the BDT
PID field. If a stall interrupt occurs, the pending packet must be dequeued and the
error condition in the target device cleared. If a Reset interrupt occurs (SE0 for more
than 2.5 μs), the target has detached.
9. After the TOK_DNE interrupt occurs, the BDTs can be examined and the next data
packet queued by returning to step 2.

46.7 On-The-Go operation
The USB-OTG core provides sensors and controls to enable On-The-Go (OTG)
operation. These sensors are used by the OTG API software to implement the Host
Negotiation Protocol (HNP) and Session Request Protocol (SRP). API calls are provided
to give access to the OTG protocol control signals, and include the OTG capabilities in
the device application. The following state machines show the OTG operations involved
with HNP and SRP protocols from either end of the USB cable.

46.7.1 OTG dual role A device operation

47.2 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The USBDCD module works with the USB transceiver to detect whether the USB device
is attached to a charging port, either a dedicated charging port or a charging host. System
software coordinates the detection activites of the module and controls an off-chip
integrated circuit that performs the battery charging.

The USBDCD module consists of two main blocks:
• A digital block provides the programming interface (memory-mapped registers) and
includes the timer unit and the analog control unit.
• An analog block provides the circuitry for the physical detection of the charger,
including the voltage source, current source, current sink, and voltage comparator
circuitry.

47.2.2 Features
The USBDCD module offers the following features:
• Compliant with the latest industry standard specification: USB Battery Charging
Specification, Revision 1.1 and 1.2
• Programmable timing parameters default to values required by the industry
standards:
• Having standard default values allows for easy configuration- simply set the
clock frequency before enabling the module.
• Programmability allows the flexibility to meet future updates of the standards.

1. Voltage must be 3.3 V +/- 10% for full functionality of the module. That is, the charger detection function does not work
when this voltage is below 3.0 V, and the CONTROL[START] bit should not be set.

NOTE
The transceiver module also interfaces to the usb_dm and
usb_dp signals. Both modules and the USB host/hub use these
signals as bidirectional, tristate signals.
Information about the signal integrity aspects of the lines including shielding, isolated
return paths, input or output impedance, packaging, suggested external components,
ESD, and other protections can be found in the USB 2.0 specification and in Application

47.4.4 TIMER0 register (USBDCD_TIMER0)
TIMER0 has an TSEQ_INIT field that represents the system latency in ms. Latency is
measured from the time when VBUS goes active until the time system software initiates
charger detection sequence in USBDCD module. When software sets the
CONTROL[START] bit, the Unit Connection Timer (TUNITCON) is initialized with the
value of TSEQ_INIT.
Valid values are 0–1023, however the USB Battery Charging Specification requires the
entire sequence, including TSEQ_INIT, to be completed in 1s or less.

TSEQ_INIT represents the system latency (in ms) measured from the time VBUS goes active to the time
system software initiates the charger detection sequence in the USBDCD module. When software sets the
CONTROL[START] bit, the Unit Connection Timer (TUNITCON) is initialized with the value of TSEQ_INIT.

TUNITCON

Unit Connection Timer Elapse (in ms)
Displays the amount of elapsed time since the event of setting the START bit plus the value of
TSEQ_INIT. The timer is automatically initialized with the value of TSEQ_INIT before starting to count.
This timer enables compliance with the maximum time allowed to connect T UNIT_CON under the USB
Battery Charging Specification. If the timer reaches the one second limit, the module triggers an interrupt
and sets the error flag STATUS[ERR].
The timer continues counting throughout the charger detection sequence, even when control has been
passed to software. As long as the module is active, the timer continues to count until it reaches the
maximum value of 0xFFF (4095 ms). The timer does not rollover to zero. A software reset clears the timer.

47.4.5 TIMER1 register (USBDCD_TIMER1)

USB Controller

A communications module on the device can be used to control the charge rate of the battery
charger IC.
Coordinates the detection activities of the subsystem.
The D+ pullup enable control signal plays a role during the charger type detection phase.
System software must issue a command to the USB controller to assert this signal. After this
pullup is enabled, the device is considered to be connected to the USB bus. The host then
attempts to enumerate it.
NOTE: The USB controller must be used only for USB device applications when using the
USBDCD module. For USB host applications, the USBDCD module must be
disabled.

USB Transceiver

The USB transceiver contains the pullup resistor for the USB D+ signal and the pulldown
resistors for the USB D+ and D– signals. The D+ pullup and the D– pulldown are both used
during the charger detection sequence in BC1.1, but it is not used during charger detection in
BC1.2. The USB transceiver also outputs the digital state of the D+ and D– signals from the
USB bus.
The pullup and pulldown enable signals are controlled by other modules during the charger
detection sequence in BC1.1: The D+ pullup enable is output from the USB controller and is
under software control. The USBDCD module controls the D– pulldown enable.

VBUS_detect

This interrupt pin connected to the USB VBUS signal detects when the device has been
plugged into or unplugged from the USB bus. If the system requires waking up from a low
power mode on being plugged into the USB port, this interrupt should also be a low power
wake up source. If this pin multiplexes other functions, such as GPIO, the pin can be
configured as an interrupt so that the USB plug or unplug event can be detected.

1. If the USB host has suspended the USB device, system software must configure the system to limit the current drawn from
the USB bus to 2.5 mA or less.

47.5.1.1 Initial System Conditions
The USBDCD module can be used only with FS USB device applications using a
rechargable battery. That is, it cannot be used with USB applications that are HS, LS,
host, or OTG. In addition, before the USBDCD module's charger detection sequence can
be initiated, the system must be:
• Powered-up and in run mode.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1345

Functional description

• Recently plugged into a USB port.
• Drawing not more than 2.5 mA total system current from the USB bus.
Examples of allowable precursors to this set of initial conditions include:
• A powered-down device is subsequently powered-up upon being plugged into the
USB bus.
• A device in a low power mode subsequently enters run mode upon being plugged
into the USB bus.

47.5.1.2 VBUS contact detection
Once the device is plugged into a USB port, the VBUS_detect system interrupt is
triggered. System software must do the following to initialize the module and start the
charger detection sequence:
1. Restore power if the module is powered-off.
2. Set CONTROL[SR] to initiate a software reset.
3. Configure the USBDCD module by programming the CLOCK register and the
timing parameters as needed.
4. Set CONTROL[IE] to enable interrupts, or clear the bit if software polling method is
used.
5. Program CONTROL[BC12] based on which revision of the USB Battery Charging
Specification is needed.
6. Set CONTROL[START] to start the charger detection sequence.

47.5.1.3 Data pin contact detection
The module must ensure that the data pins have made contact because the detection
sequence depends upon the state of the USB D+ signal. USB plugs and receptables are
designed such that when the plug is inserted into the receptable, the power pins make
contact before the data pins make contact. See the following figure.

Figure 47-12. Relative pin positions in USB plugs and receptacles

As a result, when a portable USB device is attached to an upstream port, the portable
USB device detects VBUS before the data pins have made contact. The time between
power pins and data pins making contact depends on how fast the plug is inserted into the
receptable. Delays of several hundred milliseconds are possible.
47.5.1.3.1

Debouncing the data pin contact

When system software has initiated the charger detection sequence, as described in Initial
System Conditions, the USBDCD module turns on the IDP_SRC current source and
enables the RDM_DWN pulldown resistor. If the data pins have not made contact, the D+
line remains high. After the data pins make contact, the D+ line goes low and debouncing
begins.
After the D+ line goes low, the module continuously samples the D+ line over the
duration of the TDCD_DBNC debounce time interval.By deafult, TDCD_DBNC is 10 ms, but it
can be programmed in the TIMER0[TDCD_DBNC] field. See the description of the
TIMER0 Register for register information.
When it has remained low for the entire interval, the debouncing is complete. However, if
the D+ line returns high during the debounce interval, the module waits until the D+ line
goes low again to restart the debouncing. This cycle repeats until either of the following
happens:
• The data pin contact has been successfully debounced (see Success in detecting data
pin contact (phase completion)).
• A timeout occurs (see Charger detection sequence timeout).
47.5.1.3.2

Success in detecting data pin contact (phase completion)

After successfully debouncing the D+ state, the module does the following:

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1347

Functional description

• Updates the STATUS register to reflect phase completion (See Table 47-21 for field
values.)
• Directly proceeds to the next step in the sequence: detection of a charging port (See
Charging port detection.)

47.5.1.4 Charging port detection
After it detects that the data pins have made contact, the module waits for a fixed delay of
1 ms, and then attempts to detect whether it is plugged into a charging port. The module
connects the following analog units to the USB D+ or D– lines during this phase:
• The voltage source VDP_SRC connects to the D+ line
• The current sink IDM_SINK connects to the D– line
• The voltage comparator connects to the USB D– line, comparing it to the voltage
VDAT_REF.
After a time of TVDPSRC_ON, the module samples the D– line. The TVDPSRC_ON parameter
is programmable and defaults to 40 ms. After sampling the D– line, the module
disconnects the voltage source, current sink, and comparator.
The next steps in the sequence depend on the voltage on the D– line as determined by the
voltage comparator. See the following table.

If the voltage on D- is...

Then...

47.5.1.4.1

Standard host port

As part of the charger detection handshake with a standard USB host, the module does
the following without waiting for the interval (TWAIT_AFTER_PRD or TVDPSRC_CON) to
elapse:

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Chapter 47 USB Device Charger Detection Module (USBDCD)

• Updates the STATUS register to reflect that a standard host has been detected with
SEQ_RES = 01. See Table 47-21 for field values.
• Sets CONTROL[IF].
• Generates an interrupt if enabled in CONTROL[IE].
At this point, control has been passed to system software via the interrupt. The rest of the
sequence, which detects the type of charging port, is not applicable, so software should
perform the following steps:
1. Read the STATUS register.
2. Set CONTROL[IACK] to acknowledge the interrupt.
3. Set CONTROL[SR] to issue a software reset to the module.
4. Disable the module.
5. Communicate the appropriate charge rate to the external battery charger IC; see
Table 47-14.
47.5.1.4.2

Charging port

As part of the charger detection handshake with any type of USB host, the module waits
until the interval (TWAIT_AFTER_PRD or TVDPSRC_CON) has elapsed before it does the
following:
• Enables VDM_SRC (for USB Battery Charging Specifications v1.2 only).
• Updates the STATUS register to reflect that a charging port has been detected with
SEQ_RES = 10. See Table 47-21 for field values.
• Sets CONTROL[IF].
• Generates an interrupt if enabled in CONTROL[IE].
At this point, control has passed to system software via the interrupt. Software should:
1. Read the STATUS register.
2. Set CONTROL[IACK] to acknowledge the interrupt.
3. Issue a command to the USB controller to pullup the USB D+ line.
4. Wait for the module to complete the final phase of the sequence. See Charger type
detection.

47.5.1.4.3

Error in charging port detection

For this error condition, the module does the following:
• Updates the STATUS register to reflect the error with SEQ_RES = 00. See Table
47-21 for field values.
• Sets CONTROL[IF].
• Generates an interrupt if enabled in CONTROL[IE].
Note that in this case the module does not wait for the interval (TWAIT_AFTER_PRD or
TVDPSRC_CON) to elapse.
At this point, control has been passed to system software via the interrupt. The rest of the
sequence (detecting the type of charging port) is not applicable, so software should:
1. Read the STATUS register.
2. Set CONTROL[IACK] to acknowledge the interrupt.
3. Set CONTROL[SR] to issue a software reset to the module.
4. Disable the module.

47.5.1.5 Charger type detection
For USB Battery Charging Specification, v1.2:
After the USBDCD module enables the VDM_SRC, the module starts the TVDMSRC_ON
timer counting down the time interval programmed into the TIMER2[TVDMSRC_ON] field.
Once the TVDMSRC_ON timer has elapsed, the module samples the USB D+ line to
determine the type of charger. See the following table.

• Automatic power-up once some voltage is applied to the regulator input.
• Pass-through mode for regulator input voltages less than 3.6 V
• Small output capacitor: 2.2 µF
• Stable with aluminum, tantalum or ceramic capacitors.

48.1.3 Modes of Operation
The regulator has these power modes:
• RUN—The regulating loop of the RUN regulator and the STANDBY regulator are
active, but the switch connecting the STANDBY regulator output to the external pin
is open.
• STANDBY—The regulating loop of the RUN regulator is disabled and the standby
regulator is active. The switch connecting the STANDBY regulator output to the
external pin is closed.
• SHUTDOWN—The module is disabled.
The regulator is enabled by default. This means that once the power supply is provided,
the module power-up sequence to RUN mode starts.

49.1.1 Overview
The CAN protocol was primarily designed to be used as a vehicle serial data bus, meeting
the specific requirements of this field:
• Real-time processing
• Reliable operation in the EMI environment of a vehicle
• Cost-effectiveness
• Required bandwidth

49.1.3 Modes of operation
The FlexCAN module has these functional modes:
• Normal mode (User or Supervisor):

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1366

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

In Normal mode, the module operates receiving and/or transmitting message frames,
errors are handled normally, and all CAN Protocol functions are enabled. User and
Supervisor Modes differ in the access to some restricted control registers.
• Freeze mode:
Freeze mode is enabled when the FRZ bit in MCR is asserted. If enabled, Freeze
mode is entered when MCR[HALT] is set or when Debug mode is requested at MCU
level and MCR[FRZ_ACK ] is asserted by the FlexCAN. In this mode, no
transmission or reception of frames is done and synchronicity to the CAN bus is lost.
See Freeze mode for more information.
• Listen-Only mode:
The module enters this mode when the LOM field in the Control 1 Register is
asserted. In this mode, transmission is disabled, all error counters are frozen, and the
module operates in a CAN Error Passive mode. Only messages acknowledged by
another CAN station will be received. If FlexCAN detects a message that has not
been acknowledged, it will flag a BIT0 error (without changing the REC), as if it was
trying to acknowledge the message.
• Loop-Back mode:
The module enters this mode when the LPB field in the Control 1 Register is
asserted. In this mode, FlexCAN performs an internal loop back that can be used for
self-test operation. The bit stream output of the transmitter is internally fed back to
the receiver input. The Rx CAN input pin is ignored and the Tx CAN output goes to
the recessive state (logic '1'). FlexCAN behaves as it normally does when
transmitting and treats its own transmitted message as a message received from a
remote node. In this mode, FlexCAN ignores the bit sent during the ACK slot in the
CAN frame acknowledge field to ensure proper reception of its own message. Both
transmit and receive interrupts are generated.
For low-power operation, the FlexCAN module has:
• Module Disable mode:
This low-power mode is entered when the MDIS bit in the MCR Register is asserted
by the CPU and the LPM_ACK is asserted by the FlexCAN. When disabled, the
module requests to disable the clocks to the CAN Protocol Engine and Controller
Host Interface submodules. Exit from this mode is done by negating the MDIS bit in
the MCR register. See Module Disable mode for more information.

FlexCAN signal descriptions

This low power mode is entered when Stop mode is requested at MCU level and the
LPM_ACK bit in the MCR Register is asserted by the FlexCAN. When in Stop
Mode, the module puts itself in an inactive state and then informs the CPU that the
clocks can be shut down globally. Exit from this mode happens when the Stop mode
request is removed, or when activity is detected on the CAN bus and the Self Wake
Up mechanism is enabled. See Stop mode for more information.

49.2 FlexCAN signal descriptions
The FlexCAN module has two I/O signals connected to the external MCU pins. These
signals are summarized in the following table and described in more detail in the next
subsections.

49.3.1 FlexCAN memory mapping
The complete memory map for a FlexCAN module is shown in the following table.
The address space occupied by FlexCAN has 128 bytes for registers starting at the
module base address, followed by embedded RAM starting at address 0x0080.
Each individual register is identified by its complete name and the corresponding
mnemonic. The access type can be Supervisor (S) or Unrestricted (U). Most of the
registers can be configured to have either Supervisor or Unrestricted access by
programming the SUPV field in the MCR register. These registers are identified as S/U
in the Access column of Table 49-2.

RFEN

Rx FIFO Enable
This bit controls whether the Rx FIFO feature is enabled or not. When RFEN is set, MBs 0 to 5 cannot be
used for normal reception and transmission because the corresponding memory region (0x80-0xDC) is
used by the FIFO engine as well as additional MBs (up to 32, depending on CTRL2[RFFN] setting) which
are used as Rx FIFO ID Filter Table elements. RFEN also impacts the definition of the minimum number
of peripheral clocks per CAN bit as described in the table "Minimum Ratio Between Peripheral Clock
Frequency and CAN Bit Rate" (in section "Arbitration and Matching Timing"). This bit can be written only in
Freeze mode because it is blocked by hardware in other modes.

HALT

Assertion of this bit puts the FlexCAN module into Freeze mode. The CPU should clear it after initializing
the Message Buffers and Control Register. No reception or transmission is performed by FlexCAN before
this bit is cleared. Freeze mode cannot be entered while FlexCAN is in a low power mode.

This read-only bit indicates that FlexCAN is either in Disable mode , Stop mode or Freeze mode. It is
negated once FlexCAN has exited these modes.

Soft Reset
When this bit is asserted, FlexCAN resets its internal state machines and some of the memory mapped
registers. The following registers are reset: MCR (except the MDIS bit), TIMER , ECR, ESR1, ESR2,
IMASK1, IMASK2, IFLAG1, IFLAG2 and CRCR. Configuration registers that control the interface to the
CAN bus are not affected by soft reset. The following registers are unaffected: CTRL1, CTRL2, all RXIMR
registers, RXMGMASK, RX14MASK, RX15MASK, RXFGMASK, RXFIR, all Message Buffers .
The SOFTRST bit can be asserted directly by the CPU when it writes to the MCR Register, but it is also
asserted when global soft reset is requested at MCU level . Because soft reset is synchronous and has to
follow a request/acknowledge procedure across clock domains, it may take some time to fully propagate
its effect. The SOFTRST bit remains asserted while reset is pending, and is automatically negated when
reset completes. Therefore, software can poll this bit to know when the soft reset has completed.
Soft reset cannot be applied while clocks are shut down in a low power mode. The module should be first
removed from low power mode, and then soft reset can be applied.

FRZACK

Description
Freeze Mode Acknowledge
This read-only bit indicates that FlexCAN is in Freeze mode and its prescaler is stopped. The Freeze
mode request cannot be granted until current transmission or reception processes have finished.
Therefore the software can poll the FRZACK bit to know when FlexCAN has actually entered Freeze
mode. If Freeze Mode request is negated, then this bit is negated after the FlexCAN prescaler is running
again. If Freeze mode is requested while FlexCAN is in a low power mode, then the FRZACK bit will be
set only when the low-power mode is exited. See Section "Freeze Mode".
NOTE: FRZACK will be asserted within 178 CAN bits from the freeze mode request by the CPU, and
negated within 2 CAN bits after the freeze mode request removal (see Section "Protocol Timing").

This bit configures the FlexCAN to be either in Supervisor or User mode. The registers affected by this bit

behaves as though the access was done to an unimplemented register location .

Self Wake Up
This bit enables the Self Wake Up feature when FlexCAN is in a low-power mode other than Disable
mode. When this feature is enabled, the FlexCAN module monitors the bus for wake up event, that is, a
recessive-to-dominant transition.
If a wake up event is detected during Stop mode, then FlexCAN generates, if enabled to do so, a Wake
Up interrupt to the CPU so that it can exit Stop mode globally and FlexCAN can request to resume the
clocks.
When FlexCAN is in a low-power mode other than Disable mode, this bit cannot be written as it is blocked
by hardware.

WRNEN

Warning Interrupt Enable
When asserted, this bit enables the generation of the TWRNINT and RWRNINT flags in the Error and

independent of the values of the error counters, and no warning interrupt will ever be generated. This bit

to greater than or equal to 96.

Low-Power Mode Acknowledge
This read-only bit indicates that FlexCAN is in a low-power mode (Disable mode , Stop mode ). A lowpower mode cannot be entered until all current transmission or reception processes have finished, so the
CPU can poll the LPMACK bit to know when FlexCAN has actually entered low power mode.

Loop Back Mode
This bit configures FlexCAN to operate in Loop-Back mode. In this mode, FlexCAN performs an internal
loop back that can be used for self test operation. The bit stream output of the transmitter is fed back
internally to the receiver input. The Rx CAN input pin is ignored and the Tx CAN output goes to the
recessive state (logic 1). FlexCAN behaves as it normally does when transmitting, and treats its own
transmitted message as a message received from a remote node. In this mode, FlexCAN ignores the bit
sent during the ACK slot in the CAN frame acknowledge field, generating an internal acknowledge bit to
ensure proper reception of its own message. Both transmit and receive interrupts are generated. This bit
can be written only in Freeze mode because it is blocked by hardware in other modes.
NOTE: In this mode, the MCR[SRXDIS] cannot be asserted because this will impede the self reception of
a transmitted message.

BOFFREC

This bit defines how FlexCAN recovers from Bus Off state. If this bit is negated, automatic recovering from
Bus Off state occurs according to the CAN Specification 2.0B. If the bit is asserted, automatic recovering
from Bus Off is disabled and the module remains in Bus Off state until the bit is negated by the user. If the
negation occurs before 128 sequences of 11 recessive bits are detected on the CAN bus, then Bus Off
recovery happens as if the BOFFREC bit had never been asserted. If the negation occurs after 128
sequences of 11 recessive bits occurred, then FlexCAN will re-synchronize to the bus by waiting for 11
recessive bits before joining the bus. After negation, the BOFFREC bit can be re-asserted again during
Bus Off, but it will be effective only the next time the module enters Bus Off. If BOFFREC was negated
when the module entered Bus Off, asserting it during Bus Off will not be effective for the current Bus Off
recovery.

This bit enables a mechanism that resets the free-running timer each time a message is received in
Message Buffer 0. This feature provides means to synchronize multiple FlexCAN stations with a special
“SYNC” message, that is, global network time. If the RFEN bit in MCR is set (Rx FIFO enabled), the first
available Mailbox, according to CTRL2[RFFN] setting, is used for timer synchronization instead of MB0.

49.3.4 Free Running Timer (CANx_TIMER)
This register represents a 16-bit free running counter that can be read and written by the
CPU. The timer starts from 0x0 after Reset, counts linearly to 0xFFFF, and wraps around.
The timer is clocked by the FlexCAN bit-clock, which defines the baud rate on the CAN
bus. During a message transmission/reception, it increments by one for each bit that is
received or transmitted. When there is no message on the bus, it counts using the
previously programmed baud rate. The timer is not incremented during Disable , Stop,
and Freeze modes.
The timer value is captured when the second bit of the identifier field of any frame is on
the CAN bus. This captured value is written into the Time Stamp entry in a message
buffer after a successful reception or transmission of a message.
If bit CTRL1[TSYN] is asserted, the Timer is reset whenever a message is received in the
first available Mailbox, according to CTRL2[RFFN] setting.
The CPU can write to this register anytime. However, if the write occurs at the same time
that the Timer is being reset by a reception in the first Mailbox, then the write value is
discarded.
Reading this register affects the Mailbox Unlocking procedure; see Section "Mailbox
Lock Mechanism".

49.3.8 Error Counter (CANx_ECR)
This register has two 8-bit fields reflecting the value of two FlexCAN error counters:
Transmit Error Counter (TXERRCNT field) and Receive Error Counter (RXERRCNT
field). The rules for increasing and decreasing these counters are described in the CAN
protocol and are completely implemented in the FlexCAN module. Both counters are
read-only except in Freeze mode, where they can be written by the CPU.
FlexCAN responds to any bus state as described in the protocol, for example, transmit
Error Active or Error Passive flag, delay its transmission start time (Error Passive) and
avoid any influence on the bus when in Bus Off state.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1383

Memory map/register definition

The following are the basic rules for FlexCAN bus state transitions:
• If the value of TXERRCNT or RXERRCNT increases to be greater than or equal to
128, the FLTCONF field in the Error and Status Register is updated to reflect ‘Error
Passive’ state.
• If the FlexCAN state is ‘Error Passive’, and either TXERRCNT or RXERRCNT
decrements to a value less than or equal to 127 while the other already satisfies this
condition, the FLTCONF field in the Error and Status Register is updated to reflect
‘Error Active’ state.
• If the value of TXERRCNT increases to be greater than 255, the FLTCONF field in
the Error and Status Register is updated to reflect ‘Bus Off’ state, and an interrupt
may be issued. The value of TXERRCNT is then reset to zero.
• If FlexCAN is in ‘Bus Off’ state, then TXERRCNT is cascaded together with another
internal counter to count the 128th occurrences of 11 consecutive recessive bits on
the bus. Hence, TXERRCNT is reset to zero and counts in a manner where the
internal counter counts 11 such bits and then wraps around while incrementing the
TXERRCNT. When TXERRCNT reaches the value of 128, the FLTCONF field in
the Error and Status Register is updated to be ‘Error Active’ and both error counters
are reset to zero. At any instance of dominant bit following a stream of less than 11
consecutive recessive bits, the internal counter resets itself to zero without affecting
the TXERRCNT value.
• If during system start-up, only one node is operating, then its TXERRCNT increases
in each message it is trying to transmit, as a result of acknowledge errors (indicated
by the ACKERR bit in the Error and Status Register). After the transition to ‘Error
Passive’ state, the TXERRCNT does not increment anymore by acknowledge errors.
Therefore the device never goes to the ‘Bus Off’ state.
• If the RXERRCNT increases to a value greater than 127, it is not incremented
further, even if more errors are detected while being a receiver. At the next
successful message reception, the counter is set to a value between 119 and 127 to
resume to ‘Error Active’ state.

The BUF7I to BUF5I flags are also used to represent FIFO interrupts when the Rx FIFO
is enabled. When the bit MCR[RFEN] is set, the function of the 8 least significant
interrupt flags BUF[7:0]I changes: BUF7I, BUF6I and BUF5I indicate operating
conditions of the FIFO, and the BUF4TO0I field is reserved.
Before enabling the RFEN, the CPU must service the IFLAG bits asserted in the Rx
FIFO region; see Section "Rx FIFO". Otherwise, these IFLAG bits will mistakenly show
the related MBs now belonging to FIFO as having contents to be serviced. When the
RFEN bit is negated, the FIFO flags must be cleared. The same care must be taken when
an RFFN value is selected extending Rx FIFO filters beyond MB7. For example, when
RFFN is 0x8, the MB0-23 range is occupied by Rx FIFO filters and related IFLAG bits
must be cleared.
Before updating MCR[MAXMB] field, CPU must service the IFLAG1 bits whose MB
value is greater than the MCR[MAXMB] to be updated; otherwise, they will remain set
and be inconsistent with the number of MBs available.

Tx Arbitration Start Delay

Memory map/register definition

CANx_CTRL2 field descriptions (continued)
Field

Description
This field is useful to optimize the transmit performance based on factors such as: peripheral/serial clock
ratio, CAN bit timing and number of MBs. The duration of an arbitration process, in terms of CAN bits, is
directly proportional to the number of available MBs and CAN baud rate and inversely proportional to the
peripheral clock frequency.
The optimal arbitration timing is that in which the last MB is scanned right before the first bit of the
Intermission field of a CAN frame. Therefore, if there are few MBs and the system/serial clock ratio is high
and the CAN baud rate is low then the arbitration can be delayed and vice-versa.
If TASD is 0 then the arbitration start is not delayed, thus the CPU has less time to configure a Tx MB for
the next arbitration, but more time is reserved for arbitration. On the other hand, if TASD is 24 then the
CPU can configure a Tx MB later and less time is reserved for arbitration.
If too little time is reserved for arbitration the FlexCAN may be not able to find winner MBs in time to
compete with other nodes for the CAN bus. If the arbitration ends too much time before the first bit of
Intermission field then there is a chance that the CPU reconfigures some Tx MBs and the winner MB is not
the best to be transmitted.
The optimal configuration for TASD can be calculated as:
TASD = 25 - {f
CANCLK

{f

× [MAXMB + 3 - (RFEN × 8) - (RFEN × RFFN × 2)] × 2} /
SYS

× [1+(PSEG1+1)+(PSEG2+1)+(PROPSEG+1)] × (PRESDIV+1)}
where:
• f CANCLK is the Protocol Engine (PE) Clock (see section "Protocol Timing"), in Hz
• f SYS is the peripheral clock, in Hz
• MAXMB is the value in CTRL1[MAXMB] field
• RFEN is the value in CTRL1[RFEN] bit
• RFFN is the value in CTRL2[RFFN] field
• PSEG1 is the value in CTRL1[PSEG1] field
• PSEG2 is the value in CTRL1[PSEG2] field
• PROPSEG is the value in CTRL1[PROPSEG] field
• PRESDIV is the value in CTRL1[PRESDIV] field

49.3.16 Rx FIFO Information Register (CANx_RXFIR)
RXFIR provides information on Rx FIFO.
This register is the port through which the CPU accesses the output of the RXFIR FIFO
located in RAM. The RXFIR FIFO is written by the FlexCAN whenever a new message
is moved into the Rx FIFO as well as its output is updated whenever the output of the Rx
FIFO is updated with the next message. See Section "Rx FIFO" for instructions on
reading this register.

49.3.17 Rx Individual Mask Registers (CANx_RXIMRn)
These registers are located in RAM.
RXIMR are used as acceptance masks for ID filtering in Rx MBs and the Rx FIFO. If the
Rx FIFO is not enabled, one mask register is provided for each available Mailbox,
providing ID masking capability on a per Mailbox basis.
When the Rx FIFO is enabled (MCR[RFEN] bit is asserted), up to 32 Rx Individual
Mask Registers can apply to the Rx FIFO ID Filter Table elements on a one-to-one
correspondence depending on the setting of CTRL2[RFFN].
RXIMR can only be written by the CPU while the module is in Freeze mode; otherwise,
they are blocked by hardware.
The Individual Rx Mask Registers are not affected by reset and must be explicitly
initialized prior to any reception.

SRR — Substitute Remote Request
Fixed recessive bit, used only in extended format. It must be set to one by the user for
transmission (Tx Buffers) and will be stored with the value received on the CAN bus for
Rx receiving buffers. It can be received as either recessive or dominant. If FlexCAN
receives this bit as dominant, then it is interpreted as an arbitration loss.
1 = Recessive value is compulsory for transmission in extended format frames
0 = Dominant is not a valid value for transmission in extended format frames
IDE — ID Extended Bit
This field identifies whether the frame format is standard or extended.
1 = Frame format is extended
0 = Frame format is standard
RTR — Remote Transmission Request
This bit affects the behavior of remote frames and is part of the reception filter. See Table

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

If FlexCAN transmits this bit as '1' (recessive) and receives it as '0' (dominant), it is
interpreted as an arbitration loss. If this bit is transmitted as '0' (dominant), then if it is
received as '1' (recessive), the FlexCAN module treats it as a bit error. If the value
received matches the value transmitted, it is considered a successful bit transmission.
1 = Indicates the current MB may have a remote request frame to be transmitted if MB is
Tx. If the MB is Rx then incoming remote request frames may be stored.
0 = Indicates the current MB has a data frame to be transmitted. In Rx MB it may be
considered in matching processes.
DLC — Length of Data in Bytes
This 4-bit field is the length (in bytes) of the Rx or Tx data, which is located in offset 0x8
through 0xF of the MB space (see the Table 49-69). In reception, this field is written by
the FlexCAN module, copied from the DLC (Data Length Code) field of the received
frame. In transmission, this field is written by the CPU and corresponds to the DLC field
value of the frame to be transmitted. When RTR = 1, the frame to be transmitted is a
remote frame and does not include the data field, regardless of the DLC field (see Table
49-72).
TIME STAMP — Free-Running Counter Time Stamp
This 16-bit field is a copy of the Free-Running Timer, captured for Tx and Rx frames at
the time when the beginning of the Identifier field appears on the CAN bus.
PRIO — Local priority
This 3-bit field is used only when LPRIO_EN bit is set in MCR, and it only makes sense
for Tx mailboxes. These bits are not transmitted. They are appended to the regular ID to
define the transmission priority. See Arbitration process.
ID — Frame Identifier
In standard frame format, only the 11 most significant bits (28 to 18) are used for frame
identification in both receive and transmit cases. The 18 least significant bits are ignored.
In extended frame format, all bits are used for frame identification in both receive and
transmit cases.
DATA BYTE 0–7 — Data Field
Up to eight bytes can be used for a data frame.
For Rx frames, the data is stored as it is received from the CAN bus. DATA BYTE (n) is
valid only if n is less than DLC as shown in the table below.
For Tx frames, the CPU prepares the data field to be transmitted within the frame.

49.3.35 Rx FIFO structure
When the MCR[RFEN] bit is set, the memory area from 0x80 to 0xDC (which is
normally occupied by MBs 0–5) is used by the reception FIFO engine.
The region 0x80-0x8C contains the output of the FIFO which must be read by the CPU as
a message buffer. This output contains the oldest message that has been received but not
yet read. The region 0x90-0xDC is reserved for internal use of the FIFO engine.
An additional memory area, which starts at 0xE0 and may extend up to 0x2DC (normally
occupied by MBs 6–37) depending on the CTRL2[RFFN] field setting, contains the ID
filter table (configurable from 8 to 128 table elements) that specifies filtering criteria for
accepting frames into the FIFO.
Out of reset, the ID filter table flexible memory area defaults to 0xE0 and extends only to
0xFC, which corresponds to MBs 6 to 7 for RFFN = 0, for backward compatibility with
previous versions of FlexCAN.
The following shows the Rx FIFO data structure.

RXIDB_0, RXIDB_1 — Rx Frame Identifier (Format B)
Specifies an ID to be used as acceptance criteria for the FIFO. In the standard frame
format, the 11 most significant bits (a full standard ID) (29 to 19 and 13 to 3) are used for
frame identification. In the extended frame format, all 14 bits of the field are compared to
the 14 most significant bits of the received ID.
RXIDC_0, RXIDC_1, RXIDC_2, RXIDC_3 — Rx Frame Identifier (Format C)
Specifies an ID to be used as acceptance criteria for the FIFO. In both standard and
extended frame formats, all 8 bits of the field are compared to the 8 most significant bits
of the received ID.

49.4 Functional description
The FlexCAN module is a CAN protocol engine with a very flexible mailbox system for
transmitting and receiving CAN frames. The mailbox system is composed by a set of
Message Buffers (MB) that store configuration and control data, time stamp, message ID
and data (see Message buffer structure). The memory corresponding to the first 38 MBs
can be configured to support a FIFO reception scheme with a powerful ID filtering
mechanism, capable of checking incoming frames against a table of IDs (up to 128
extended IDs or 256 standard IDs or 512 8-bit ID slices), with individual mask register
for up to 32 ID Filter Table elements. Simultaneous reception through FIFO and mailbox
is supported. For mailbox reception, a matching algorithm makes it possible to store
received frames only into MBs that have the same ID programmed on its ID field. A
masking scheme makes it possible to match the ID programmed on the MB with a range
of IDs on received CAN frames. For transmission, an arbitration algorithm decides the
prioritization of MBs to be transmitted based on the message ID (optionally augmented
by 3 local priority bits) or the MB ordering.
Before proceeding with the functional description, an important concept must be
explained. A Message Buffer is said to be "active" at a given time if it can participate in
both the Matching and Arbitration processes. An Rx MB with a 0b0000 code is inactive
(refer to Table 49-70). Similarly, a Tx MB with a 0b1000 or 0b1001 code is also inactive
(refer to Table 49-71).
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1408

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

49.4.1 Transmit process
To transmit a CAN frame, the CPU must prepare a Message Buffer for transmission by
executing the following procedure:
1. Check whether the respective interrupt bit is set and clear it.
2. If the MB is active (transmission pending), write the ABORT code (0b1001) to the
CODE field of the Control and Status word to request an abortion of the
transmission. Wait for the corresponding IFLAG to be asserted by polling the IFLAG
register or by the interrupt request if enabled by the respective IMASK. Then read
back the CODE field to check if the transmission was aborted or transmitted (see
Transmission abort mechanism). If backwards compatibility is desired (MCR[AEN]
bit is negated), just write the INACTIVE code (0b1000) to the CODE field to
inactivate the MB but then the pending frame may be transmitted without notification
(see Mailbox inactivation).
3. Write the ID word.
4. Write the data bytes.
5. Write the DLC, Control, and CODE fields of the Control and Status word to activate
the MB.
When the MB is activated, it will participate into the arbitration process and eventually
be transmitted according to its priority. At the end of the successful transmission, the
value of the Free Running Timer is written into the Time Stamp field, the CODE field in
the Control and Status word is updated, the CRC Register is updated, a status flag is set
in the Interrupt Flag Register and an interrupt is generated if allowed by the
corresponding Interrupt Mask Register bit. The new CODE field after transmission
depends on the code that was used to activate the MB (see Table 49-70 and Table 49-71
in Message buffer structure).
When the Abort feature is enabled (MCR[AEN] is asserted), after the Interrupt Flag is
asserted for a Mailbox configured as transmit buffer, the Mailbox is blocked, therefore
the CPU is not able to update it until the Interrupt Flag is negated by CPU. This means
that the CPU must clear the corresponding IFLAG before starting to prepare this MB for
a new transmission or reception.

49.4.2 Arbitration process
The arbitration process scans the Mailboxes searching the Tx one that holds the message
to be sent in the next opportunity. This Mailbox is called the arbitration winner.
The scan starts from the lowest number Mailbox and runs toward the higher ones.
The arbitration process is triggered in the following events:
• From the CRC field of the CAN frame. The start point depends on the
CTRL2[TASD] field value.
• During the Error Delimiter field of a CAN frame.
• During the Overload Delimiter field of a CAN frame.
• When the winner is inactivated and the CAN bus has still not reached the first bit of
the Intermission field.
• When there is CPU write to the C/S word of a winner MB and the CAN bus has still
not reached the first bit of the Intermission field.
• When CHI is in Idle state and the CPU writes to the C/S word of any MB.
• When FlexCAN exits Bus Off state.
• Upon leaving Freeze mode or Low Power mode.
If the arbitration process does not manage to evaluate all Mailboxes before the CAN bus
has reached the first bit of the Intermission field the temporary arbitration winner is
invalidated and the FlexCAN will not compete for the CAN bus in the next opportunity.
The arbitration process selects the winner among the active Tx Mailboxes at the end of
the scan according to both CTRL1[LBUF] and MCR[LPRIOEN] bits settings.

49.4.2.1 Lowest-number Mailbox first
If CTRL1[LBUF] bit is asserted the first (lowest number) active Tx Mailbox found is the
arbitration winner. MCR[LPRIOEN] bit has no effect when CTRL1[LBUF] is asserted.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

49.4.2.2 Highest-priority Mailbox first
If CTRL1[LBUF] bit is negated, then the arbitration process searches the active Tx
Mailbox with the highest priority, which means that this Mailbox’s frame would have a
higher probability to win the arbitration on CAN bus when multiple external nodes
compete for the bus at the same time.
The sequence of bits considered for this arbitration is called the arbitration value of the
Mailbox. The highest-priority Tx Mailbox is the one that has the lowest arbitration value
among all Tx Mailboxes.
If two or more Mailboxes have equivalent arbitration values, the Mailbox with the lowest
number is the arbitration winner.
The composition of the arbitration value depends on MCR[LPRIOEN] bit setting.
49.4.2.2.1

Local Priority disabled

If MCR[LPRIOEN] bit is negated the arbitration value is built in the exact sequence of
bits as they would be transmitted in a CAN frame (see the following table) in such a way
that the Local Priority is disabled.

Functional description

As the PRIO field is the most significant part of the arbitration value Mailboxes with low
PRIO values have higher priority than Mailboxes with high PRIO values regardless the
rest of their arbitration values.
Note that the PRIO field is not part of the frame on the CAN bus. Its purpose is only to
affect the internal arbitration process.

49.4.2.3 Arbitration process (continued)
After the arbitration winner is found, its content is copied to a hidden auxiliary MB called
Tx Serial Message Buffer (Tx SMB), which has the same structure as a normal MB but is
not user accessible. This operation is called move-out and after it is done, write access to
the corresponding MB is blocked (if the AEN bit in MCR is asserted). The write access is
released in the following events:
• After the MB is transmitted
• FlexCAN enters in Freeze mode or Bus Off
• FlexCAN loses the bus arbitration or there is an error during the transmission
At the first opportunity window on the CAN bus, the message on the Tx SMB is
transmitted according to the CAN protocol rules. FlexCAN transmits up to eight data
bytes, even if the Data Length Code (DLC) field value is greater than that.
Arbitration process can be triggered in the following situations:
• During Rx and Tx frames from CAN CRC field to end of frame. TASD value may be
changed to optimize the arbitration start point.
• During CAN BusOff state from TX_ERR_CNT=124 to 128. TASD value may be
changed to optimize the arbitration start point.
• During C/S write by CPU in BusIdle. First C/S write starts arbitration process and a
second C/S write during this same arbitration restarts the process. If other C/S writes
are performed, Tx arbitration process is pending. If there is no arbitration winner
after arbitration process has finished, then TX arbitration machine begins a new
arbitration process.
• If there is a pending arbitration and BusIdle state starts then an arbitration
process is triggered. In this case the first and second C/S write in BusIdle will
not restart the arbitration process. It is possible that there is not enough time to
finish arbitration in WaitForBusIdle state and the next state is Idle. In this case
the scan is not interrupted, and it is completed during BusIdle state. During this
arbitration C/S write does not cause arbitration restart.
• Arbitration winner deactivation during a valid arbitration window.
• Upon Leave Freeze mode (first bit of the WaitForBusIdle state). If there is a resynchronization during WaitForBusIdle arbitration process is restarted.

Arbitration process stops in the following situation:
•
•
•
•

All Mailboxes were scanned
A Tx active Mailbox is found in case of Lowest Buffer feature enabled
Arbitration winner inactivation or abort during any arbitration process
There was not enough time to finish Tx arbitration process (for instance, when a
deactivation was performed near the end of frame). In this case arbitration process is
pending.
• Error or Overload flag in the bus
• Low Power or Freeze mode request in Idle state

Arbitration is considered pending as described below:
• It was not possible to finish arbitration process in time
• C/S write during arbitration if write is performed in a MB whose number is lower
than the Tx arbitration pointer
• Any C/S write if there is no Tx Arbitration process in progress
• Rx Match has just updated a Rx Code to Tx Code
• Entering Busoff state
C/S write during arbitration has the following effect:
• If C/S write is performed in the arbitration winner, a new process is restarted
immediately.
• If C/S write is performed in a MB whose number is higher than the Tx arbitration
pointer, the ongoing arbitration process will scan this MB as normal.

49.4.3 Receive process
To be able to receive CAN frames into a Mailbox, the CPU must prepare it for reception
by executing the following steps:
1. If the Mailbox is active (either Tx or Rx) inactivate the Mailbox (see Mailbox
inactivation), preferably with a safe inactivation (see Transmission abort
mechanism).
2. Write the ID word
3. Write the EMPTY code (0b0100) to the CODE field of the Control and Status word
to activate the Mailbox.
After the MB is activated, it will be able to receive frames that match the programmed
filter. At the end of a successful reception, the Mailbox is updated by the move-in process
(see Move-in) as follows:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1413

Functional description

1. The received Data field (8 bytes at most) is stored.
2. The received Identifier field is stored.
3. The value of the Free Running Timer at the time of the second bit of frame’s
Identifier field is written into the Mailbox’s Time Stamp field.
4. The received SRR, IDE, RTR, and DLC fields are stored.
5. The CODE field in the Control and Status word is updated (see Table 49-70 and
Table 49-71 in Section Message buffer structure).
6. A status flag is set in the Interrupt Flag Register and an interrupt is generated if
allowed by the corresponding Interrupt Mask Register bit.
The recommended way for CPU servicing (read) the frame received in an Mailbox is
using the following procedure:
1. Read the Control and Status word of that Mailbox.
2. Check if the BUSY bit is deasserted, indicating that the Mailbox is locked. Repeat
step 1) while it is asserted. See Mailbox lock mechanism.
3. Read the contents of the Mailbox. Once Mailbox is locked now, its contents won’t be
modified by FlexCAN Move-in processes. See Move-in.
4. Acknowledge the proper flag at IFLAG registers.
5. Read the Free Running Timer. It is optional but recommended to unlock Mailbox as
soon as possible and make it available for reception.
The CPU should synchronize to frame reception by the status flag bit for the specific
Mailbox in one of the IFLAG Registers and not by the CODE field of that Mailbox.
Polling the CODE field does not work because once a frame was received and the CPU
services the Mailbox (by reading the C/S word followed by unlocking the Mailbox), the
CODE field will not return to EMPTY. It will remain FULL, as explained in Table
49-70 . If the CPU tries to workaround this behavior by writing to the C/S word to force
an EMPTY code after reading the Mailbox without a prior safe inactivation, a newly
received frame matching the filter of that Mailbox may be lost.
CAUTION
In summary: never do polling by reading directly the C/S word
of the Mailboxes. Instead, read the IFLAG registers.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1414

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

Note that the received frame’s Identifier field is always stored in the matching Mailbox,
thus the contents of the ID field in an Mailbox may change if the match was due to
masking. Note also that FlexCAN does receive frames transmitted by itself if there exists
a matching Rx Mailbox, provided the MCR[SRXDIS] bit is not asserted. If the
MCR[SRXDIS] bit is asserted, FlexCAN will not store frames transmitted by itself in any
MB, even if it contains a matching MB, and no interrupt flag or interrupt signal will be
generated due to the frame reception.
To be able to receive CAN frames through the Rx FIFO, the CPU must enable and
configure the Rx FIFO during Freeze mode (see Rx FIFO). Upon receiving the Frames
Available in Rx FIFO interrupt (see the description of the IFLAG[BUF5I] "Frames
available in Rx FIFO" bit in the IMASK1 register), the CPU should service the received
frame using the following procedure:
1. Read the Control and Status word (optional – needed only if a mask was used for
IDE and RTR bits)
2. Read the ID field (optional – needed only if a mask was used)
3. Read the Data field
4. Read the RXFIR register (optional)
5. Clear the Frames Available in Rx FIFO interrupt by writing 1 to IFLAG[BUF5I] bit
(mandatory – releases the MB and allows the CPU to read the next Rx FIFO entry)

49.4.4 Matching process
The matching process scans the MB memory looking for Rx MBs programmed with the
same ID as the one received from the CAN bus. If the FIFO is enabled, the priority of
scanning can be selected between Mailboxes and FIFO filters. In any case, the matching
starts from the lowest number Message Buffer toward the higher ones. If no match is
found within the first structure then the other is scanned subsequently. In the event that
the FIFO is full, the matching algorithm will always look for a matching MB outside the
FIFO region.
As the frame is being received, it is stored in a hidden auxiliary MB called Rx Serial
Message Buffer (Rx SMB).
The matching process start point depends on the following conditions:
• If the received frame is a remote frame, the start point is the CRC field of the frame

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1415

Functional description

• If the received frame is a data frame with DLC field equal to zero, the start point is
the CRC field of the frame
• If the received frame is a data frame with DLC field different than zero, the start
point is the DATA field of the frame
If a matching ID is found in the FIFO table or in one of the Mailboxes, the contents of the
SMB will be transferred to the FIFO or to the matched Mailbox by the move-in process.
If any CAN protocol error is detected then no match results will be transferred to the
FIFO or to the matched Mailbox at the end of reception.
The matching process scans all matching elements of both Rx FIFO (if enabled) and
active Rx Mailboxes (CODE is EMPTY, FULL, OVERRUN or RANSWER) in search of
a successful comparison with the matching elements of the Rx SMB that is receiving the
frame on the CAN bus. The SMB has the same structure of a Mailbox. The reception
structures (Rx FIFO or Mailboxes) associated with the matching elements that had a
successful comparison are the matched structures. The matching winner is selected at the
end of the scan among those matched structures and depends on conditions described
ahead. See the following table.

1. For Mailbox structure, If SMB[IDE] is asserted, the ID is 29 bits (ID Standard + ID Extended). If SMB[IDE] is negated, the
ID is only 11 bits (ID Standard). For FIFO structure, the ID depends on IDAM.
2. cmp: Compares the SMB contents with the MB contents regardless the masks.
3. no_cmp: The SMB contents are not compared with the MB contents
4. cmp_msk: Compares the SMB contents with MB contents taking into account the masks.
5. SMB[IDE] and SMB[RTR] are not taken into account when IDAM is type C.

A reception structure is free-to-receive when any of the following conditions is satisfied:
• The CODE field of the Mailbox is EMPTY
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1416

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

• The CODE field of the Mailbox is either FULL or OVERRUN and it has already
been serviced (the C/S word was read by the CPU and unlocked as described in
Mailbox lock mechanism)
• The CODE field of the Mailbox is either FULL or OVERRUN and an inactivation
(see Mailbox inactivation) is performed
• The Rx FIFO is not full
The scan order for Mailboxes and Rx FIFO is from the matching element with lowest
number to the higher ones.
The matching winner search for Mailboxes is affected by the MCR[IRMQ] bit. If it is
negated the matching winner is the first matched Mailbox regardless if it is free-toreceive or not. If it is asserted, the matching winner is selected according to the priority
below:
1. the first free-to-receive matched Mailbox;
2. the last non free-to-receive matched Mailbox.
It is possible to select the priority of scan between Mailboxes and Rx FIFO by the
CTRL2[MRP] bit.
If the selected priority is Rx FIFO first:
• If the Rx FIFO is a matched structure and is free-to-receive then the Rx FIFO is the
matching winner regardless of the scan for Mailboxes
• Otherwise (the Rx FIFO is not a matched structure or is not free-to-receive), then the
matching winner is searched among Mailboxes as described above
If the selected priority is Mailboxes first:
• If a free-to-receive matched Mailbox is found, it is the matching winner regardless
the scan for Rx FIFO
• If no matched Mailbox is found, then the matching winner is searched in the scan for
the Rx FIFO
• If both conditions above are not satisfied and a non free-to-receive matched Mailbox
is found then the matching winner determination is conditioned by the MCR[IRMQ]
bit:
• If MCR[IRMQ] bit is negated the matching winner is the first matched Mailbox
• If MCR[IRMQ] bit is asserted the matching winner is the Rx FIFO if it is a freeto-receive matched structure, otherwise the matching winner is the last non freeto-receive matched Mailbox
See the following table for a summary of matching possibilities.

1. This is a don’t care condition.
2. Matched in MB “None” means that the frame has not matched any MB (free-to-receive or non-free-to-receive).

1418

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)
3. This is a forbidden condition.
4. Matched in MB “Free” means that the frame matched at least one MB free-to-receive regardless of whether it has matched
MBs non-free-to-receive.
5. Matched in FIFO “None” means that the frame has not matched any filter in FIFO. It is as if the FIFO didn’t exist
(CTRL2[RFEN]=0).
6. Matched in FIFO “NotFull” means that the frame has matched a FIFO filter and has empty slots to receive it.
7. Matched in FIFO “Full” means that the frame has matched a FIFO filter but couldn’t store it because it has no empty slots
to receive it.

If a non-safe Mailbox inactivation (see Mailbox inactivation) occurs during matching
process and the Mailbox inactivated is the temporary matching winner then the temporary
matching winner is invalidated. The matching elements scan is not stopped nor restarted,
it continues normally. The consequence is that the current matching process works as if
the matching elements compared before the inactivation did not exist, therefore a
message may be lost.
Suppose, for example, that the FIFO is disabled, IRMQ is enabled and there are two MBs
with the same ID, and FlexCAN starts receiving messages with that ID. Let us say that
these MBs are the second and the fifth in the array. When the first message arrives, the
matching algorithm will find the first match in MB number 2. The code of this MB is
EMPTY, so the message is stored there. When the second message arrives, the matching
algorithm will find MB number 2 again, but it is not "free-to-receive", so it will keep
looking and find MB number 5 and store the message there. If yet another message with
the same ID arrives, the matching algorithm finds out that there are no matching MBs
that are "free-to-receive", so it decides to overwrite the last matched MB, which is
number 5. In doing so, it sets the CODE field of the MB to indicate OVERRUN.
The ability to match the same ID in more than one MB can be exploited to implement a
reception queue (in addition to the full featured FIFO) to allow more time for the CPU to
service the MBs. By programming more than one MB with the same ID, received
messages will be queued into the MBs. The CPU can examine the Time Stamp field of
the MBs to determine the order in which the messages arrived.
Matching to a range of IDs is possible by using ID Acceptance Masks. FlexCAN
supports individual masking per MB. Refer to the description of the Rx Individual Mask
Registers (RXIMRx). During the matching algorithm, if a mask bit is asserted, then the
corresponding ID bit is compared. If the mask bit is negated, the corresponding ID bit is
"don't care". Please note that the Individual Mask Registers are implemented in RAM, so
they are not initialized out of reset. Also, they can only be programmed while the module
is in Freeze mode; otherwise, they are blocked by hardware.
FlexCAN also supports an alternate masking scheme with only four mask registers
(RXGMASK, RX14MASK, RX15MASK and RXFGMASK) for backwards
compatibility with legacy applications. This alternate masking scheme is enabled when
the IRMQ bit in the MCR Register is negated.

Functional description

49.4.5 Move process
There are two types of move process: move-in and move-out.

49.4.5.1 Move-in
The move-in process is the copy of a message received by an Rx SMB to a Rx Mailbox
or FIFO that has matched it. If the move destination is the Rx FIFO, attributes of the
message are also copied to the RXFIR FIFO. Each Rx SMB has its own move-in process,
but only one is performed at a given time as described ahead. The move-in starts only
when the message held by the Rx SMB has a corresponding matching winner (see
Matching process) and all of the following conditions are true:
• The CAN bus has reached or let past either:
• The second bit of Intermission field next to the frame that carried the message
that is in the Rx SMB
• The first bit of an overload frame next to the frame that carried the message that
is in the Rx SMB
• There is no ongoing matching process
• The destination Mailbox is not locked by the CPU
• There is no ongoing move-in process from another Rx SMB. If more than one movein processes are to be started at the same time both are performed and the newest
substitutes the oldest.
The term pending move-in is used throughout the documentation and stands for a moveto-be that still does not satisfy all of the aforementioned conditions.
The move-in is cancelled and the Rx SMB is able to receive another message if any of
the following conditions is satisfied:
• The destination Mailbox is inactivated after the CAN bus has reached the first bit of
Intermission field next to the frame that carried the message and its matching process
has finished
• There is a previous pending move-in to the same destination Mailbox
• The Rx SMB is receiving a frame transmitted by the FlexCAN itself and the selfreception is disabled (MCR[SRXDIS] bit is asserted)
• Any CAN protocol error is detected
Note that the pending move-in is not cancelled if the module enters Freeze or Low-Power
mode. It only stays on hold waiting for exiting Freeze and Low-Power mode and to be
unlocked. If an MB is unlocked during Freeze mode, the move-in happens immediately.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1420

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

The move-in process is the execution by the FlexCAN of the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

if the message is destined to the Rx FIFO, push IDHIT into the RXFIR FIFO;
reads the words DATA0-3 and DATA4-7 from the Rx SMB;
writes it in the words DATA0-3 and DATA4-7 of the Rx Mailbox;
reads the words Control/Status and ID from the Rx SMB;
writes it in the words Control/Status and ID of the Rx Mailbox, updating the CODE
field.

The move-in process is not atomic, in such a way that it is immediately cancelled by the
inactivation of the destination Mailbox (see Mailbox inactivation) and in this case the
Mailbox may be left partially updated, thus incoherent. The exception is if the move-in
destination is an Rx FIFO Message Buffer, then the process cannot be cancelled.
The BUSY Bit (least significant bit of the CODE field) of the destination Message Buffer
is asserted while the move-in is being performed to alert the CPU that the Message
Buffer content is temporarily incoherent.

49.4.5.2 Move-out
The move-out process is the copy of the content from a Tx Mailbox to the Tx SMB when
a message for transmission is available (see Section "Arbitration process"). The move-out
occurs in the following conditions:
•
•
•
•

The first bit of Intermission field
During Bus Off state when TX Error Counter is in the 124 to 128 range
During Bus Idle state
During Wait For Bus Idle state

The move-out process is not atomic. Only the CPU has priority to access the memory
concurrently out of Bus Idle state. In Bus Idle, the move-out has the lowest priority to the
concurrent memory accesses.

49.4.6 Data coherence
In order to maintain data coherency and FlexCAN proper operation, the CPU must obey
the rules described in Transmit process and Receive process.

Functional description

49.4.6.1 Transmission abort mechanism
The abort mechanism provides a safe way to request the abortion of a pending
transmission. A feedback mechanism is provided to inform the CPU if the transmission
was aborted or if the frame could not be aborted and was transmitted instead.
Two primary conditions must be fulfilled in order to abort a transmission:
• MCR[AEN] bit must be asserted
• The first CPU action must be the writing of abort code (0b1001) into the CODE field
of the Control and Status word.
The active MBs configured as transmission must be aborted first and then they may be
updated. If the abort code is written to a Mailbox that is currently being transmitted, or to
a Mailbox that was already loaded into the SMB for transmission, the write operation is
blocked and the MB is kept active, but the abort request is captured and kept pending
until one of the following conditions are satisfied:
• The module loses the bus arbitration
• There is an error during the transmission
• The module is put into Freeze mode
• The module enters in BusOff state
• There is an overload frame
If none of the conditions above are reached, the MB is transmitted correctly, the interrupt
flag is set in the IFLAG register, and an interrupt to the CPU is generated (if enabled).
The abort request is automatically cleared when the interrupt flag is set. On the other
hand, if one of the above conditions is reached, the frame is not transmitted; therefore, the
abort code is written into the CODE field, the interrupt flag is set in the IFLAG, and an
interrupt is (optionally) generated to the CPU.
If the CPU writes the abort code before the transmission begins internally, then the write
operation is not blocked; therefore, the MB is updated and the interrupt flag is set. In this
way the CPU just needs to read the abort code to make sure the active MB was safely
inactivated. Although the AEN bit is asserted and the CPU wrote the abort code, in this
case the MB is inactivated and not aborted, because the transmission did not start yet.
One Mailbox is only aborted when the abort request is captured and kept pending until
one of the previous conditions are satisfied.
The abort procedure can be summarized as follows:
• CPU checks the corresponding IFLAG and clears it, if asserted.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

• CPU writes 0b1001 into the CODE field of the C/S word.
• CPU waits for the corresponding IFLAG indicating that the frame was either
transmitted or aborted.
• CPU reads the CODE field to check if the frame was either transmitted
(CODE=0b1000) or aborted (CODE=0b1001).
• It is necessary to clear the corresponding IFLAG in order to allow the MB to be
reconfigured.

49.4.6.2 Mailbox inactivation
Inactivation is a mechanism provided to protect the Mailbox against updates by the
FlexCAN internal processes, thus allowing the CPU to rely on Mailbox data coherence
after having updated it, even in Normal mode.
Inactivation of transmission Mailboxes must be performed just when MCR[AEN] bit is
deasserted.
If a Mailbox is inactivated, it participates in neither the arbitration process nor the
matching process until it is reactivated. See Transmit process and Receive process for
more detailed instruction on how to inactivate and reactivate a Mailbox.
To inactivate a Mailbox, the CPU must update its CODE field to INACTIVE (either
0b0000 or 0b1000).
Because the user is not able to synchronize the CODE field update with the FlexCAN
internal processes, an inactivation can lead to undesirable results:
• A frame in the bus that matches the filtering of the inactivated Rx Mailbox may be
lost without notice, even if there are other Mailboxes with the same filter
• A frame containing the message within the inactivated Tx Mailbox may be
transmitted without notice
In order to eliminate such risk and perform a safe inactivation the CPU must use the
following mechanism along with the inactivation itself:
• For Tx Mailboxes, the Transmission Abort (see Transmission abort mechanism)
The inactivation automatically unlocks the Mailbox (see Mailbox lock mechanism).
NOTE
Message Buffers that are part of the Rx FIFO cannot be
inactivated. There is no write protection on the FIFO region by

Functional description

FlexCAN. CPU must maintain data coherency in the FIFO
region when RFEN is asserted.

49.4.6.3 Mailbox lock mechanism
Other than Mailbox inactivation, FlexCAN has another data coherence mechanism for the
receive process. When the CPU reads the Control and Status word of an Rx MB with
codes FULL or OVERRUN, FlexCAN assumes that the CPU wants to read the whole
MB in an atomic operation, and therefore it sets an internal lock flag for that MB. The
lock is released when the CPU reads the Free Running Timer (global unlock operation),
or when it reads the Control and Status word of another MB regardless of its code. A
CPU write into C/S word also unlocks the MB, but this procedure is not recommended
for normal unlock use because it cancels a pending-move and potentially may lose a
received message. The MB locking is done to prevent a new frame to be written into the
MB while the CPU is reading it.
NOTE
The locking mechanism applies only to Rx MBs that are not
part of FIFO and have a code different than INACTIVE
(0b0000) or EMPTY1 (0b0100). Also, Tx MBs can not be
locked.
Suppose, for example, that the FIFO is disabled and the second and the fifth MBs of the
array are programmed with the same ID, and FlexCAN has already received and stored
messages into these two MBs. Suppose now that the CPU decides to read MB number 5
and at the same time another message with the same ID is arriving. When the CPU reads
the Control and Status word of MB number 5, this MB is locked. The new message
arrives and the matching algorithm finds out that there are no "free-to-receive" MBs, so it
decides to override MB number 5. However, this MB is locked, so the new message can
not be written there. It will remain in the SMB waiting for the MB to be unlocked, and
only then will be written to the MB.
If the MB is not unlocked in time and yet another new message with the same ID arrives,
then the new message overwrites the one on the SMB and there will be no indication of
lost messages either in the CODE field of the MB or in the Error and Status Register.
While the message is being moved-in from the SMB to the MB, the BUSY bit on the
CODE field is asserted. If the CPU reads the Control and Status word and finds out that
the BUSY bit is set, it should defer accessing the MB until the BUSY bit is negated.

1. In previous FlexCAN versions, reading the C/S word locked the MB even if it was
EMPTY. This behavior is maintained when the IRMQ bit is negated.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1424

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

Note
If the BUSY bit is asserted or if the MB is empty, then reading
the Control and Status word does not lock the MB.
Inactivation takes precedence over locking. If the CPU inactivates a locked Rx MB, then
its lock status is negated and the MB is marked as invalid for the current matching round.
Any pending message on the SMB will not be transferred anymore to the MB. An MB is
unlocked when the CPU reads the Free Running Timer Register (see Section "Free
Running Timer Register (TIMER)"), or the C/S word of another MB.
Lock and unlock mechanisms have the same functionality in both Normal and Freeze
modes.
An unlock during Normal or Freeze mode results in the move-in of the pending message.
However, the move-in is postponed if an unlock occurs during a low power mode (see
Modes of operation) and it will take place only when the module resumes to Normal or
Freeze modes.

49.4.7 Rx FIFO
The Rx FIFO is receive-only and is enabled by asserting the MCR[RFEN] bit. The reset
value of this bit is zero to maintain software backward compatibility with previous
versions of the module that did not have the FIFO feature. The FIFO is 6-message deep.
The memory region occupied by the FIFO structure (both Message Buffers and FIFO
engine) is described in Rx FIFO structure. The CPU can read the received messages
sequentially, in the order they were received, by repeatedly reading a Message Buffer
structure at the output of the FIFO.
The IFLAG[BUF5I] (Frames available in Rx FIFO) is asserted when there is at least one
frame available to be read from the FIFO. An interrupt is generated if it is enabled by the
corresponding mask bit. Upon receiving the interrupt, the CPU can read the message
(accessing the output of the FIFO as a Message Buffer) and the RXFIR register and then
clear the interrupt. If there are more messages in the FIFO the act of clearing the interrupt
updates the output of the FIFO with the next message and update the RXFIR with the
attributes of that message, reissuing the interrupt to the CPU. Otherwise, the flag remains
negated. The output of the FIFO is only valid whilst the IFLAG[BUF5I] is asserted.
The IFLAG[BUF6I] (Rx FIFO Warning) is asserted when the number of unread
messages within the Rx FIFO is increased to 5 from 4 due to the reception of a new one,
meaning that the Rx FIFO is almost full. The flag remains asserted until the CPU clears
it.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1425

Functional description

The IFLAG[BUF7I] (Rx FIFO Overflow) is asserted when an incoming message was lost
because the Rx FIFO is full. Note that the flag will not be asserted when the Rx FIFO is
full and the message was captured by a Mailbox. The flag remains asserted until the CPU
clears it.
Clearing one of those three flags does not affect the state of the other two.
An interrupt is generated if an IFLAG bit is asserted and the corresponding mask bit is
asserted too.
A powerful filtering scheme is provided to accept only frames intended for the target
application, reducing the interrupt servicing work load. The filtering criteria is specified
by programming a table of up to 128 32-bit registers, according to CTRL2[RFFN]
setting, that can be configured to one of the following formats (see also Rx FIFO
structure):
• Format A: 128 IDAFs (extended or standard IDs including IDE and RTR)
• Format B: 256 IDAFs (standard IDs or extended 14-bit ID slices including IDE and
RTR)
• Format C: 512 IDAFs (standard or extended 8-bit ID slices)
Note
A chosen format is applied to all entries of the filter table. It is
not possible to mix formats within the table.
Every frame available in the FIFO has a corresponding IDHIT (Identifier Acceptance
Filter Hit Indicator) that can be read by accessing the RXFIR register. The
RXFIR[IDHIT] field refers to the message at the output of the FIFO and is valid while
the IFLAG[BUF5I] flag is asserted. The RXFIR register must be read only before
clearing the flag, which guarantees that the information refers to the correct frame within
the FIFO.
Up to 32 elements of the filter table are individually affected by the Individual Mask
Registers (RXIMRx), according to the setting of CTRL2[RFFN], allowing very powerful
filtering criteria to be defined. If the IRMQ bit is negated, then the FIFO filter table is
affected by RXFGMASK.

49.4.8 CAN protocol related features
This section describes the CAN protocol related features.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1426

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

49.4.8.1 Remote frames
Remote frame is a special kind of frame. The user can program a mailbox to be a Remote
Request Frame by writing the mailbox as Transmit with the RTR bit set to '1'. After the
remote request frame is transmitted successfully, the mailbox becomes a Receive
Message Buffer, with the same ID as before.
When a remote request frame is received by FlexCAN, it can be treated in three ways,
depending on Remote Request Storing (CTRL2[RRS]) and Rx FIFO Enable
(MCR[RFEN]) bits:
• If RRS is negated the frame's ID is compared to the IDs of the Transmit Message
Buffers with the CODE field 0b1010. If there is a matching ID, then this mailbox
frame will be transmitted. Note that if the matching mailbox has the RTR bit set, then
FlexCAN will transmit a remote frame as a response. The received remote request
frame is not stored in a receive buffer. It is only used to trigger a transmission of a
frame in response. The mask registers are not used in remote frame matching, and all
ID bits (except RTR) of the incoming received frame should match. In the case that a
remote request frame was received and matched a mailbox, this message buffer
immediately enters the internal arbitration process, but is considered as normal Tx
mailbox, with no higher priority. The data length of this frame is independent of the
DLC field in the remote frame that initiated its transmission.
• If RRS is asserted the frame's ID is compared to the IDs of the receive mailboxes
with the CODE field 0b0100, 0b0010 or 0b0110. If there is a matching ID, then this
mailbox will store the remote frame in the same fashion of a data frame. No
automatic remote response frame will be generated. The mask registers are used in
the matching process.
• If RFEN is asserted FlexCAN will not generate an automatic response for remote
request frames that match the FIFO filtering criteria. If the remote frame matches one
of the target IDs, it will be stored in the FIFO and presented to the CPU. Note that for
filtering formats A and B, it is possible to select whether remote frames are accepted
or not. For format C, remote frames are always accepted (if they match the ID).
Remote Request Frames are considered as normal frames, and generate a FIFO
overflow when a successful reception occurs and the FIFO is already full.

49.4.8.2 Overload frames
FlexCAN does transmit overload frames due to detection of following conditions on
CAN bus:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1427

Functional description

• Detection of a dominant bit in the first/second bit of Intermission
• Detection of a dominant bit at the 7th bit (last) of End of Frame field (Rx frames)
• Detection of a dominant bit at the 8th bit (last) of Error Frame Delimiter or Overload
Frame Delimiter

49.4.8.3 Time stamp
The value of the Free Running Timer is sampled at the beginning of the Identifier field on
the CAN bus, and is stored at the end of "move-in" in the TIME STAMP field, providing
network behavior with respect to time.
The Free Running Timer can be reset upon a specific frame reception, enabling network
time synchronization. See the TSYN description in the description of the Control 1
Register (CTRL1).

49.4.8.4 Protocol timing
The following figure shows the structure of the clock generation circuitry that feeds the
CAN Protocol Engine (PE) submodule. The clock source bit CLKSRC in the CTRL1
Register defines whether the internal clock is connected to the output of a crystal
oscillator (Oscillator Clock) or to the Peripheral Clock. In order to guarantee reliable
operation, the clock source should be selected while the module is in Disable Mode (bit
MDIS set in the Module Configuration Register).

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

The FlexCAN module supports a variety of means to setup bit timing parameters that are
required by the CAN protocol. The Control Register has various fields used to control bit
timing parameters: PRESDIV, PROPSEG, PSEG1, PSEG2 and RJW. See the description
of the Control 1 Register (CTRL1).
The PRESDIV field controls a prescaler that generates the Serial Clock (Sclock), whose
period defines the 'time quantum' used to compose the CAN waveform. A time quantum
is the atomic unit of time handled by the CAN engine.

f CANCLK

f Tq = (Prescaler Value)
A bit time is subdivided into three segments2 (see Figure 49-67 and Table 49-79):
• SYNC_SEG: This segment has a fixed length of one time quantum. Signal edges are
expected to happen within this section
• Time Segment 1: This segment includes the Propagation Segment and the Phase
Segment 1 of the CAN standard. It can be programmed by setting the PROPSEG and
the PSEG1 fields of the CTRL1 Register so that their sum (plus 2) is in the range of 4
to 16 time quanta
• Time Segment 2: This segment represents the Phase Segment 2 of the CAN standard.
It can be programmed by setting the PSEG2 field of the CTRL1 Register (plus 1) to
be 2 to 8 time quanta long

Whenever CAN bit is used as a measure of duration (e.g. MCR[FRZACK] and
MCR[LPMACK]), the number of peripheral clocks in one CAN bit can be calculated as:
NCCP =

f SYS x [1 + (PSEG1 + 1) + (PSEG2 + 1) + (PROPSEG + 1)] x (PRESDIV + 1)
f CANCLK

where:
• NCCP is the number of peripheral clocks in one CAN bit;
• fCANCLK is the Protocol Engine (PE) Clock (see Figure "CAN Engine Clocking
Scheme"), in Hz;
• fSYS is the frequency of operation of the system (CHI) clock, in Hz;
• PSEG1 is the value in CTRL1[PSEG1] field;
• PSEG2 is the value in CTRL1[PSEG2] field;
• PROPSEG is the value in CTRL1[PROPSEG] field;
• PRESDIV is the value in CTRL1[PRESDIV] field.
For example, 180 CAN bits = 180 x NCCP peripheral clock periods.

49.4.8.5 Arbitration and matching timing

NOTE
The matching and arbitration timing shown in the preceding
figures do not take into account the delay caused by the
concurrent memory access due to the CPU or other internal
FlexCAN sub-blocks.
When doing matching and arbitration, FlexCAN needs to scan the whole Message Buffer
memory during the available time slot. In order to have sufficient time to do that, the
following requirements must be observed:
• A valid CAN bit timing must be programmed, as indicated in Table 49-80
• The peripheral clock frequency can not be smaller than the oscillator clock
frequency, see Clock domains and restrictions
• There must be a minimum ratio between the peripheral clock frequency and the CAN
bit rate, as specified in the following table:

clocks per CAN bit

A direct consequence of the first requirement is that the minimum number of time quanta
per CAN bit must be 8, therefore the oscillator clock frequency should be at least 8 times
the CAN bit rate. The minimum frequency ratio specified in the preceding table can be
achieved by choosing a high enough peripheral clock frequency when compared to the
oscillator clock frequency, or by adjusting one or more of the bit timing parameters
(PRESDIV, PROPSEG, PSEG1, PSEG2) contained in the Control 1 Register (CTRL1).
In case of synchronous operation (when the peripheral clock frequency is equal to the
oscillator clock frequency), the number of peripheral clocks per CAN bit can be adjusted
by selecting an adequate value for PRESDIV in order to meet the requirement in the
preceding table. In case of asynchronous operation (the peripheral clock frequency
greater than the oscillator clock frequency), the number of peripheral clocks per CAN bit
can be adjusted by both PRESDIV and/or the frequency ratio.
As an example, taking the case of 64 MBs, if the oscillator and peripheral clock
frequencies are equal and the CAN bit timing is programmed to have 8 time quanta per
bit, then the prescaler factor (PRESDIV + 1) should be at least 2. For prescaler factor
equal to one and CAN bit timing with 8 time quanta per bit, the ratio between peripheral
and oscillator clock frequencies should be at least 2.

49.4.9 Clock domains and restrictions
The FlexCAN module has two clock domains asynchronous to each other:
• The Bus Domain feeds the Control Host Interface (CHI) submodule and is derived
from the peripheral clock.
• The Oscillator Domain feeds the CAN Protocol Engine (PE) submodule and is
derived directly from a crystal oscillator clock, so that very low jitter performance
can be achieved on the CAN bus.
When CTRL1[CLKSRC] bit is set, synchronous operation occurs because both domains
are connected to the peripheral clock (creating a 1:1 ratio between the peripheral and
oscillator domain clocks).

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1433

Functional description

When the two domains are connected to clocks with different frequencies and/or phases,
there are restrictions on the frequency relationship between the two clock domains. In the
case of asynchronous operation, the Bus Domain clock frequency must always be greater
than the Oscillator Domain clock frequency.
NOTE
Asynchronous operation with a 1:1 ratio between peripheral
and oscillator clocks is not allowed.

49.4.10 Modes of operation details
The FlexCAN module has functional modes and low-power modes. See Modes of
operation for an introductory description of all the modes of operation. The following
sub-sections contain functional details on Freeze mode and the low-power modes.
CAUTION
“Permanent Dominant” failure on CAN Bus line is not
supported by FlexCAN. If a Low-Power request or Freeze
mode request is done during a “Permanent Dominant”, the
corresponding acknowledge can never be asserted.

49.4.10.1 Freeze mode
This mode is requested by the CPU through the assertion of the HALT bit in the MCR
Register or when the MCU is put into Debug mode. In both cases it is also necessary that
the FRZ bit is asserted in the MCR Register and the module is not in a low-power mode.
The acknowledgement is obtained through the assertion by the FlexCAN of FRZ_ACK
bit in the same register. The CPU must only consider the FlexCAN in Freeze mode when
both request and acknowledgement conditions are satisfied.
When Freeze mode is requested during transmission or reception, FlexCAN does the
following:
• Waits to be in either Intermission, Passive Error, Bus Off or Idle state
• Waits for all internal activities like arbitration, matching, move-in and move-out to
finish. A pending move-in is not taken into account.
• Ignores the Rx input pin and drives the Tx pin as recessive
• Stops the prescaler, thus halting all CAN protocol activities

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1434

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

• Grants write access to the Error Counters Register, which is read-only in other modes
• Sets the NOT_RDY and FRZ_ACK bits in MCR
After requesting Freeze mode, the user must wait for the FRZ_ACK bit to be asserted in
MCR before executing any other action, otherwise FlexCAN may operate in an
unpredictable way. In Freeze mode, all memory mapped registers are accessible, except
for CTRL1[CLK_SRC] bit that can be read but cannot be written.
Exiting Freeze mode is done in one of the following ways:
• CPU negates the FRZ bit in the MCR Register
• The MCU is removed from Debug Mode and/or the HALT bit is negated
The FRZ_ACK bit is negated after the protocol engine recognizes the negation of the
freeze request. When out of Freeze mode, FlexCAN tries to re-synchronize to the CAN
bus by waiting for 11 consecutive recessive bits.

49.4.10.2 Module Disable mode
This low power mode is normally used to temporarily disable a complete FlexCAN
block, with no power consumption. It is requested by the CPU through the assertion of
the MDIS bit in the MCR Register and the acknowledgement is obtained through the
assertion by the FlexCAN of the LPM_ACK bit in the same register. The CPU must only
consider the FlexCAN in Disable mode when both request and acknowledgement
conditions are satisfied.
If the module is disabled during Freeze mode, it requests to disable the clocks to the PE
and CHI sub-modules, sets the LPM_ACK bit and negates the FRZ_ACK bit.
If the module is disabled during transmission or reception, FlexCAN does the following:
• Waits to be in either Idle or Bus Off state, or else waits for the third bit of
Intermission and then checks it to be recessive
• Waits for all internal activities like arbitration, matching, move-in and move-out to
finish. A pending move-in is not taken into account.
• Ignores its Rx input pin and drives its Tx pin as recessive
• Shuts down the clocks to the PE and CHI sub-modules
• Sets the NOTRDY and LPMACK bits in MCR

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Functional description

The Bus Interface Unit continues to operate, enabling the CPU to access memory mapped
registers, except the Rx Mailboxes Global Mask Registers, the Rx Buffer 14 Mask
Register, the Rx Buffer 15 Mask Register, the Rx FIFO Global Mask Register. The Rx
FIFO Information Register, the Message Buffers, the Rx Individual Mask Registers, and
the reserved words within RAM may not be accessed when the module is in Disable
Mode. Exiting from this mode is done by negating the MDIS bit by the CPU, which
causes the FlexCAN to request to resume the clocks and negate the LPM_ACK bit after
the CAN protocol engine recognizes the negation of disable mode requested by the CPU.

49.4.10.3 Stop mode
This is a system low-power mode in which all MCU clocks can be stopped for maximum
power savings. The Stop mode is globally requested by the CPU and the
acknowledgement is obtained through the assertion by the FlexCAN of a Stop
Acknowledgement signal. The CPU must only consider the FlexCAN in Stop mode when
both request and acknowledgement conditions are satisfied.
If FlexCAN receives the global Stop mode request during Freeze mode, it sets the
LPMACK bit, negates the FRZACK bit and then sends the Stop Acknowledge signal to
the CPU, in order to shut down the clocks globally.
If Stop mode is requested during transmission or reception, FlexCAN does the following:
• Waits to be in either Idle or Bus Off state, or else waits for the third bit of
Intermission and checks it to be recessive
• Waits for all internal activities like arbitration, matching, move-in and move-out to
finish. A pending move-in is not taken into account.
• Ignores its Rx input pin and drives its Tx pin as recessive
• Sets the NOTRDY and LPMACK bits in MCR
• Sends a Stop Acknowledge signal to the CPU, so that it can shut down the clocks
globally
Stop mode is exited when the CPU resumes the clocks and removes the Stop Mode
request. This can be as a result of the Self Wake mechanism.
In the Self Wake mechanism, if the SLFWAK bit in MCR Register was set at the time
FlexCAN entered Stop mode, then upon detection of a recessive to dominant transition
on the CAN bus, FlexCAN sets the WAKINT bit in the ESR Register and, if enabled by
the WAKMSK bit in MCR, generates a Wake Up interrupt to the CPU. Upon receiving
the interrupt, the CPU should resume the clocks and remove the Stop mode request.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

FlexCAN will then wait for 11 consecutive recessive bits to synchronize to the CAN bus.
As a consequence, it will not receive the frame that woke it up. The following table
details the effect of SLFWAK and WAKMSK upon wake-up from Stop mode. Note that
wake-up from Stop mode only works when both bits are asserted.
After the CAN protocol engine recognizes the negation of the Stop mode request, the
FlexCAN negates the LPMACK bit. FlexCAN will then wait for 11 consecutive
recessive bits to synchronize to the CAN bus. As a consequence, it will not receive the
frame that woke it up.

49.4.11 Interrupts
The module has many interrupt sources: interrupts due to message buffers and interrupts
due to the ORed interrupts from MBs, Bus Off, Error, Wake Up, Tx Warning, and Rx
Warning.
Each one of the message buffers can be an interrupt source, if its corresponding IMASK
bit is set. There is no distinction between Tx and Rx interrupts for a particular buffer,
under the assumption that the buffer is initialized for either transmission or reception.
Each of the buffers has assigned a flag bit in the IFLAG Registers. The bit is set when the
corresponding buffer completes a successful transfer and is cleared when the CPU writes
it to 1 (unless another interrupt is generated at the same time).
Note
It must be guaranteed that the CPU clears only the bit causing
the current interrupt. For this reason, bit manipulation
instructions (BSET) must not be used to clear interrupt flags.
These instructions may cause accidental clearing of interrupt
flags which are set after entering the current interrupt service
routine.

Functional description

If the Rx FIFO is enabled (MCR[RFEN] = 1), the interrupts corresponding to MBs 0 to 7
have different meanings. Bit 7 of the IFLAG1 becomes the "FIFO Overflow" flag; bit 6
becomes the FIFO Warning flag, bit 5 becomes the "Frames Available in FIFO flag" and
bits 4-0 are unused. See the description of the Interrupt Flags 1 Register (IFLAG1) for
more information.
For a combined interrupt where multiple MB interrupt sources are OR'd together, the
interrupt is generated when any of the associated MBs (or FIFO, if applicable) generates
an interrupt. In this case, the CPU must read the IFLAG registers to determine which MB
or FIFO source caused the interrupt.
The interrupt sources for Bus Off, Error, Wake Up, Tx Warning and Rx Warning
generate interrupts like the MB interrupt sources, and can be read from both the Error and
Status Register 1 and 2. The Bus Off, Error, Tx Warning, and Rx Warning interrupt mask
bits are located in the Control 1 Register; the Wake-Up interrupt mask bit is located in the
MCR.

49.4.12 Bus interface
The CPU access to FlexCAN registers are subject to the following rules:
• Unrestricted read and write access to supervisor registers (registers identified with S/
U in Table "Module Memory Map" in Supervisor Mode or with S only) results in
access error.
• Read and write access to implemented reserved address space results in access error.
• Write access to positions whose bits are all currently read-only results in access error.
If at least one of the bits is not read-only then no access error is issued. Write
permission to positions or some of their bits can change depending on the mode of
operation or transitory state. Refer to register and bit descriptions for details.
• Read and write access to unimplemented address space results in access error.
• Read and write access to RAM located positions during Low Power Mode results in
access error.
• If MAXMB is programmed with a value smaller than the available number of MBs,
then the unused memory space can be used as general purpose RAM space. Note that
reserved words within RAM cannot be used. As an example, suppose FlexCAN is
configured with 16 MBs, RFFN is 0x0, and MAXMB is programmed with zero. The
maximum number of MBs in this case becomes one. The RAM starts at 0x0080, and
the space from 0x0080 to 0x008F is used by the one MB. The memory space from
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1438

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 49 CAN (FlexCAN)

0x0090 to 0x017F is available. The space between 0x0180 and 0x087F is reserved.
The space from 0x0880 to 0x0883 is used by the one Individual Mask and the
available memory in the Mask Registers space would be from 0x0884 to 0x08BF.
From 0x08C0 through 0x09DF there are reserved words for internal use which
cannot be used as general purpose RAM. As a general rule, free memory space for
general purpose depends only on MAXMB.

49.5 Initialization/application information
This section provide instructions for initializing the FlexCAN module.

49.5.1 FlexCAN initialization sequence
The FlexCAN module may be reset as follows:
• MCU level hard reset, which resets all memory mapped registers asynchronously
• SOFTRST bit in MCR, which resets some of the memory mapped registers
synchronously. See Table 49-2 to see what registers are affected by soft reset.
• MCU level soft reset, which has the same effect as the SOFTRST bit in MCR
Soft reset is synchronous and has to follow an internal request/acknowledge procedure
across clock domains. Therefore, it may take some time to fully propagate its effects. The
SOFTRST bit remains asserted while soft reset is pending, so software can poll this bit to
know when the reset has completed. Also, soft reset can not be applied while clocks are
shut down in a low power mode. The low power mode should be exited and the clocks
resumed before applying soft reset.
The clock source (CLKSRC bit) should be selected while the module is in Disable mode.
After the clock source is selected and the module is enabled (MDIS bit negated),
FlexCAN automatically goes to Freeze mode. In Freeze mode, FlexCAN is unsynchronized to the CAN bus, the HALT and FRZ bits in MCR Register are set, the
internal state machines are disabled and the FRZACK and NOTRDY bits in the MCR
Register are set. The Tx pin is in recessive state and FlexCAN does not initiate any
transmission or reception of CAN frames. Note that the Message Buffers and the Rx
Individual Mask Registers are not affected by reset, so they are not automatically
initialized.

Initialization/application information

For any configuration change/initialization it is required that FlexCAN is put into Freeze
mode; see Freeze mode. The following is a generic initialization sequence applicable to
the FlexCAN module:
• Initialize the Module Configuration Register
• Enable the individual filtering per MB and reception queue features by setting
the IRMQ bit
• Enable the warning interrupts by setting the WRNEN bit
• If required, disable frame self reception by setting the SRXDIS bit
• Enable the Rx FIFO by setting the RFEN bit
• Enable the abort mechanism by setting the AEN bit
• Enable the local priority feature by setting the LPRIOEN bit
• Initialize the Control Register
• Determine the bit timing parameters: PROPSEG, PSEG1, PSEG2, RJW
• Determine the bit rate by programming the PRESDIV field
• Determine the internal arbitration mode (LBUF bit)
• Initialize the Message Buffers
• The Control and Status word of all Message Buffers must be initialized
• If Rx FIFO was enabled, the ID filter table must be initialized
• Other entries in each Message Buffer should be initialized as required
• Initialize the Rx Individual Mask Registers
• Set required interrupt mask bits in the IMASK Registers (for all MB interrupts), in
MCR Register for Wake-Up interrupt and in CTRL Register (for Bus Off and Error
interrupts)
• Negate the HALT bit in MCR
Starting with the last event, FlexCAN attempts to synchronize to the CAN bus.

50.1.3 Interface configurations
50.1.3.1 SPI configuration
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration allows the module to send and receive
serial data. This configuration allows the module to operate as a basic SPI block with
internal FIFOs supporting external queue operation. Transmitted data and received data
reside in separate FIFOs. The host CPU or a DMA controller read the received data from
the Receive FIFO and write transmit data to the Transmit FIFO.
For queued operations, the SPI queues can reside in system RAM, external to the module.
Data transfers between the queues and the module FIFOs are accomplished by a DMA
controller or host CPU. The following figure shows a system example with DMA, SPI,
and external queues in system RAM.

50.1.4 Modes of Operation
The module supports the following modes of operation that can be divided into two
categories:
• Module-specific modes:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1444

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 50 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

• Master mode
• Slave mode
• Module Disable mode
• MCU-specific modes:
• External Stop mode
• Debug mode
The module enters module-specific modes when the host writes a module register. The
MCU-specific modes are controlled by signals external to the module. The MCU-specific
modes are modes that an MCU may enter in parallel to the block-specific modes.

50.1.4.1 Master Mode
Master mode allows the module to initiate and control serial communication. In this
mode, these signals are controlled by the module and configured as outputs:
• SCK
• SOUT
• PCS[x]

50.1.4.2 Slave Mode
Slave mode allows the module to communicate with SPI bus masters. In this mode, the
module responds to externally controlled serial transfers. The SCK signal and the
PCS[0]/SS signals are configured as inputs and driven by an SPI bus master.

50.1.4.3 Module Disable Mode
The Module Disable mode can be used for MCU power management. The clock to the
non-memory mapped logic in the module can be stopped while in the Module Disable
mode.

Module signal descriptions

50.1.4.4 External Stop Mode
External Stop mode is used for MCU power management. The module supports the
Peripheral Bus Stop mode mechanism. When a request is made to enter External Stop
mode, it acknowledges the request and completes the transfer that is in progress. When
the module reaches the frame boundary, it signals that the protocol clock to the module
may be shut off.

50.1.4.5 Debug Mode
Debug mode is used for system development and debugging. The MCR[FRZ] bit controls
module behavior in the Debug mode:
• If the bit is set, the module stops all serial transfers, when the MCU is in debug
mode.
• If the bit is cleared, the MCU debug mode has no effect on the module.

Counts the number of SPI transfers the module makes. The SPI_TCNT field increments every time the
last bit of an SPI frame is transmitted. A value written to SPI_TCNT presets the counter to that value.
SPI_TCNT is reset to zero at the beginning of the frame when the CTCNT field is set in the executing SPI

zero.

50.3.3 Clock and Transfer Attributes Register (In Master Mode)
(SPIx_CTARn)
CTAR registers are used to define different transfer attributes. Do not write to the CTAR
registers while the module is in the Running state.
In Master mode, the CTAR registers define combinations of transfer attributes such as
frame size, clock phase and polarity, data bit ordering, baud rate, and various delays. In
slave mode, a subset of the bitfields in CTAR0 are used to set the slave transfer attributes.

50.4 Functional description
The module supports full-duplex, synchronous serial communications between MCUs
and peripheral devices. The SPI configuration transfers data serially using a shift register
and a selection of programmable transfer attributes.
The module has the following configurations
• The SPI Configuration in which the module operates as a basic SPI or a queued SPI.
The DCONF field in the Module Configuration Register (MCR) determines the module
Configuration. SPI configuration is selected when DCONF within SPIx_MCR is 0b00.
The CTARn registers hold clock and transfer attributes. The SPI configuration allows to
select which CTAR to use on a frame by frame basis by setting a field in the SPI
command.
See Clock and Transfer Attributes Register (In Master Mode) (SPI_CTARn) for
information on the fields of CTAR registers.
Typical master to slave connections are shown in the following figure. When a data
transfer operation is performed, data is serially shifted a predetermined number of bit
positions. Because the modules are linked, data is exchanged between the master and the
slave. The data that was in the master shift register is now in the shift register of the
slave, and vice versa. At the end of a transfer, the Transfer Control Flag(TCF) bit in the
Shift Register(SR) is set to indicate a completed frame transfer.

Functional description

Generally, more than one slave device can be connected to the module master. 6
Peripheral Chip Select (PCS) signals of the module masters can be used to select which
of the slaves to communicate with. Refer to the chip configuration details for the number
of PCS signals used in this MCU.
The SPI configuration shares transfer protocol and timing properties which are described
independently of the configuration in Transfer formats. The transfer rate and delay
settings are described in Module baud rate and clock delay generation.

50.4.1 Start and Stop of module transfers
The module has two operating states: Stopped and Running. Both the states are
independent of it's configuration. The default state of the module is Stopped. In the
Stopped state, no serial transfers are initiated in Master mode and no transfers are
responded to in Slave mode. The Stopped state is also a safe state for writing the various
configuration registers of the module without causing undetermined results. In the
Running state serial transfers take place.
The TXRXS bit in the SR indicates the state of module. The bit is set if the module is in
Running state.
The module starts or transitions to Running when all of the following conditions are true:
• SR[EOQF] bit is clear
• MCU is not in the Debug mode or the MCR[FRZ] bit is clear
• MCR[HALT] bit is clear
The module stops or transitions from Running to Stopped after the current frame when
any one of the following conditions exist:
• SR[EOQF] bit is set
• MCU in the Debug mode and the MCR[FRZ] bit is set
• MCR[HALT] bit is set
State transitions from Running to Stopped occur on the next frame boundary if a transfer
is in progress, or immediately if no transfers are in progress.

50.4.2 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration
The SPI configuration transfers data serially using a shift register and a selection of
programmable transfer attributes. The module is in SPI configuration when the DCONF
field in the MCR is 0b00. The SPI frames can be 32 bits long. The host CPU or a DMA
controller transfers the SPI data from the external to the module RAM queues to a TX
FIFO buffer. The received data is stored in entries in the RX FIFO buffer. The host CPU
or the DMA controller transfers the received data from the RX FIFO to memory external
to the module. The operation of FIFO buffers is described in the following sections:
• Transmit First In First Out (TX FIFO) buffering mechanism
• Transmit First In First Out (TX FIFO) buffering mechanism
• Receive First In First Out (RX FIFO) buffering mechanism
The interrupt and DMA request conditions are described in Interrupts/DMA requests.
The SPI configuration supports two block-specific modes—Master mode and Slave
mode.In Master mode the module initiates and controls the transfer according to the
fields of the executing SPI Command. In Slave mode, the module responds only to
transfers initiated by a bus master external to it and the SPI command field space is
reserved.

50.4.2.1 Master mode
In SPI Master mode, the module initiates the serial transfers by controlling the SCK and
the PCS signals. The executing SPI Command determines which CTARs will be used to
set the transfer attributes and which PCS signals to assert. The command field also
contains various bits that help with queue management and transfer protocol. See PUSH
TX FIFO Register In Master Mode (SPI_PUSHR) for details on the SPI command fields.
The data in the executing TX FIFO entry is loaded into the shift register and shifted out
on the Serial Out (SOUT) pin. In SPI Master mode, each SPI frame to be transmitted has
a command associated with it, allowing for transfer attribute control on a frame by frame
basis.

50.4.2.2 Slave mode
In SPI Slave mode the module responds to transfers initiated by an SPI bus master. It
does not initiate transfers. Certain transfer attributes such as clock polarity, clock phase,
and frame size must be set for successful communication with an SPI master. The SPI
Slave mode transfer attributes are set in the CTAR0. The data is shifted out with MSB
first. Shifting out of LSB is not supported in this mode.

Functional description

50.4.2.3 FIFO disable operation
The FIFO disable mechanisms allow SPI transfers without using the TX FIFO or RX
FIFO. The module operates as a double-buffered simplified SPI when the FIFOs are
disabled. The Transmit and Receive side of the FIFOs are disabled separately. Setting the
MCR[DIS_TXF] bit disables the TX FIFO, and setting the MCR[DIS_RXF] bit disables
the RX FIFO.
The FIFO disable mechanisms are transparent to the user and to host software. Transmit
data and commands are written to the PUSHR and received data is read from the POPR.
When the TX FIFO is disabled:
• SR[TFFF], SR[TFUF] and SR[TXCTR] behave as if there is a one-entry FIFO
• The contents of TXFRs, SR[TXNXTPTR] are undefined
Similarly, when the RX FIFO is disabled, the RFDF, RFOF, and RXCTR fields in the SR
behave as if there is a one-entry FIFO, but the contents of the RXFR registers and
POPNXTPTR are undefined.

50.4.2.4 Transmit First In First Out (TX FIFO) buffering mechanism
The TX FIFO functions as a buffer of SPI data for transmission. The TX FIFO holds 4
words, each consisting of SPI data. The number of entries in the TX FIFO is devicespecific. SPI data is added to the TX FIFO by writing to the Data Field of module PUSH
FIFO Register (PUSHR). TX FIFO entries can only be removed from the TX FIFO by
being shifted out or by flushing the TX FIFO.
The TX FIFO Counter field (TXCTR) in the module Status Register (SR) indicates the
number of valid entries in the TX FIFO. The TXCTR is updated every time a 8- or 16-bit
write takes place to PUSHR[TXDATA] or SPI data is transferred into the shift register
from the TX FIFO.
The TXNXTPTR field indicates the TX FIFO Entry that will be transmitted during the
next transfer. The TXNXTPTR field is incremented every time SPI data is transferred
from the TX FIFO to the shift register. The maximum value of the field is equal to the
maximum implemented TXFR number and it rolls over after reaching the maximum.
50.4.2.4.1

Filling the TX FIFO

Host software or other intelligent blocks can add (push) entries to the TX FIFO by
writing to the PUSHR. When the TX FIFO is not full, the TX FIFO Fill Flag (TFFF) in
the SR is set. The TFFF bit is cleared when TX FIFO is full and the DMA controller
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1472

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 50 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

indicates that a write to PUSHR is complete. Writing a '1' to the TFFF bit also clears it.
The TFFF can generate a DMA request or an interrupt request. See Transmit FIFO Fill
Interrupt or DMA Request for details.
The module ignores attempts to push data to a full TX FIFO, and the state of the TX
FIFO does not change and no error condition is indicated.
50.4.2.4.2

Draining the TX FIFO

The TX FIFO entries are removed (drained) by shifting SPI data out through the shift
register. Entries are transferred from the TX FIFO to the shift register and shifted out as
long as there are valid entries in the TX FIFO. Every time an entry is transferred from the
TX FIFO to the shift register, the TX FIFO Counter decrements by one. At the end of a
transfer, the TCF bit in the SR is set to indicate the completion of a transfer. The TX
FIFO is flushed by writing a '1' to the CLR_TXF bit in MCR.
If an external bus master initiates a transfer with a module slave while the slave's TX
FIFO is empty, the Transmit FIFO Underflow Flag (TFUF) in the slave's SR is set. See
Transmit FIFO Underflow Interrupt Request for details.

50.4.2.5 Receive First In First Out (RX FIFO) buffering mechanism
The RX FIFO functions as a buffer for data received on the SIN pin. The RX FIFO holds
4 received SPI data frames. The number of entries in the RX FIFO is device-specific. SPI
data is added to the RX FIFO at the completion of a transfer when the received data in the
shift register is transferred into the RX FIFO. SPI data are removed (popped) from the
RX FIFO by reading the module POP RX FIFO Register (POPR). RX FIFO entries can
only be removed from the RX FIFO by reading the POPR or by flushing the RX FIFO.
The RX FIFO Counter field (RXCTR) in the module's Status Register (SR) indicates the
number of valid entries in the RX FIFO. The RXCTR is updated every time the POPR is
read or SPI data is copied from the shift register to the RX FIFO.
The POPNXTPTR field in the SR points to the RX FIFO entry that is returned when the
POPR is read. The POPNXTPTR contains the positive offset from RXFR0 in a number
of 32-bit registers. For example, POPNXTPTR equal to two means that the RXFR2
contains the received SPI data that will be returned when the POPR is read. The
POPNXTPTR field is incremented every time the POPR is read. The maximum value of
the field is equal to the maximum implemented RXFR number and it rolls over after
reaching the maximum.

50.4.2.5.1

Filling the RX FIFO

The RX FIFO is filled with the received SPI data from the shift register. While the RX
FIFO is not full, SPI frames from the shift register are transferred to the RX FIFO. Every
time an SPI frame is transferred to the RX FIFO, the RX FIFO Counter is incremented by
one.
If the RX FIFO and shift register are full and a transfer is initiated, the RFOF bit in the
SR is set indicating an overflow condition. Depending on the state of the ROOE bit in the
MCR, the data from the transfer that generated the overflow is either ignored or shifted in
to the shift register. If the ROOE bit is set, the incoming data is shifted in to the shift
register. If the ROOE bit is cleared, the incoming data is ignored.
50.4.2.5.2

Draining the RX FIFO

Host CPU or a DMA can remove (pop) entries from the RX FIFO by reading the module
POP RX FIFO Register (POPR). A read of the POPR decrements the RX FIFO Counter
by one. Attempts to pop data from an empty RX FIFO are ignored and the RX FIFO
Counter remains unchanged. The data, read from the empty RX FIFO, is undetermined.
When the RX FIFO is not empty, the RX FIFO Drain Flag (RFDF) in the SR is set. The
RFDF bit is cleared when the RX_FIFO is empty and the DMA controller indicates that a
read from POPR is complete or by writing a 1 to it.

50.4.3 Module baud rate and clock delay generation
The SCK frequency and the delay values for serial transfer are generated by dividing the
protocol clock frequency by a prescaler and a scaler with the option for doubling the baud
rate. The following figure shows conceptually how the SCK signal is generated.

The PCSS signal provides a delay to allow the PCS signals to settle after a transition
occurs thereby avoiding glitches. When the Module is in Master mode and the PCSSE bit

50.4.4 Transfer formats
The SPI serial communication is controlled by the Serial Communications Clock (SCK)
signal and the PCS signals. The SCK signal provided by the master device synchronizes
shifting and sampling of the data on the SIN and SOUT pins. The PCS signals serve as
enable signals for the slave devices.
In Master mode, the CPOL and CPHA bits in the Clock and Transfer Attributes Registers
(CTARn) select the polarity and phase of the serial clock, SCK.
• CPOL - Selects the idle state polarity of the SCK
• CPHA - Selects if the data on SOUT is valid before or on the first SCK edge
Even though the bus slave does not control the SCK signal, in Slave mode the values of
CPOL and CPHA must be identical to the master device settings to ensure proper
transmission. In SPI Slave mode, only CTAR0 is used.
The module supports four different transfer formats:
• Classic SPI with CPHA=0
• Classic SPI with CPHA=1
• Modified Transfer Format with CPHA = 0
• Modified Transfer Format with CPHA = 1
A modified transfer format is supported to allow for high-speed communication with
peripherals that require longer setup times. The module can sample the incoming data
later than halfway through the cycle to give the peripheral more setup time. The MTFE
bit in the MCR selects between Classic SPI Format and Modified Transfer Format.
In the interface configurations, the module provides the option of keeping the PCS
signals asserted between frames. See Continuous Selection Format for details.

The transfer format shown in following figure is used to communicate with peripheral

The master initiates the transfer by placing its first data bit on the SOUT pin and asserting
the appropriate peripheral chip select signals to the slave device. The slave responds by
placing its first data bit on its SOUT pin. After the tASC delay elapses, the master outputs
the first edge of SCK. The master and slave devices use this edge to sample the first input
data bit on their serial data input signals. At the second edge of the SCK, the master and
slave devices place their second data bit on their serial data output signals. For the rest of
the frame the master and the slave sample their SIN pins on the odd-numbered clock
edges and changes the data on their SOUT pins on the even-numbered clock edges. After
the last clock edge occurs, a delay of tASC is inserted before the master negates the PCS
signals. A delay of tDT is inserted before a new frame transfer can be initiated by the
master.

The master initiates the transfer by asserting the PCS signal to the slave. After the tCSC
delay has elapsed, the master generates the first SCK edge and at the same time places
valid data on the master SOUT pin. The slave responds to the first SCK edge by placing
its first data bit on its slave SOUT pin.
At the second edge of the SCK the master and slave sample their SIN pins. For the rest of
the frame the master and the slave change the data on their SOUT pins on the oddnumbered clock edges and sample their SIN pins on the even-numbered clock edges.
After the last clock edge occurs, a delay of tASC is inserted before the master negates the
PCS signal. A delay of tDT is inserted before a new frame transfer can be initiated by the

50.4.4.3 Continuous Selection Format
Some peripherals must be deselected between every transfer. Other peripherals must
remain selected between several sequential serial transfers. The Continuous Selection
Format provides the flexibility to handle the following case. The Continuous Selection
Format is enabled for the SPI configuration by setting the CONT bit in the SPI command.
When the CONT bit = 0, the module drives the asserted Chip Select signals to their idle
states in between frames. The idle states of the Chip Select signals are selected by the
PCSISn bits in the MCR. The following timing diagram is for two four-bit transfers with

When using the module with continuous selection follow these rules:
• All transmit commands must have the same PCSn bits programming.
• The CTARs, selected by transmit commands, must be programmed with the same
transfer attributes. Only FMSZ field can be programmed differently in these CTARs.
• When transmitting multiple frames in this mode, the user software must ensure that
the last frame has the PUSHR[CONT] bit deasserted in Master mode and the user
software must provide sufficient frames in the TX_FIFO to be sent out in Slave mode
and the master deasserts the PCSn at end of transmission of the last frame.
• PUSHR[CONT] must be deasserted before asserting MCR[HALT] in master mode.
This will make sure that the PCSn signals are deasserted. Asserting MCR[HALT]
during continuous transfer will cause the PCSn signals to remain asserted and hence
Slave Device cannot transition from Running to Stopped state.
NOTE
User must fill the TX FIFO with the number of entries that will
be concatenated together under one PCS assertion for both
master and slave before the TX FIFO becomes empty.
When operating in Slave mode, ensure that when the last entry
in the TX FIFO is completely transmitted, that is, the
corresponding TCF flag is asserted and TXFIFO is empty, the
slave is deselected for any further serial communication;
otherwise, an underflow error occurs.

50.4.5 Continuous Serial Communications Clock
The module provides the option of generating a Continuous SCK signal for slave
peripherals that require a continuous clock.
Continuous SCK is enabled by setting the CONT_SCKE bit in the MCR. Enabling this
bit generates the Continuous SCK regardless of the MCR[HALT] bit status. Continuous
SCK is valid in all configurations.
Continuous SCK is only supported for CPHA=1. Clearing CPHA is ignored if the
CONT_SCKE bit is set. Continuous SCK is supported for Modified Transfer Format.
Clock and transfer attributes for the Continuous SCK mode are set according to the
following rules:
• When the module is in SPI configuration, CTAR0 is used initially. At the start of
each SPI frame transfer, the CTAR specified by the CTAS for the frame is used.
• In all configurations, the currently selected CTAR remains in use until the start of a
frame with a different CTAR specified, or the Continuous SCK mode is terminated.
It is recommended to keep the baud rate the same while using the Continuous SCK.
Switching clock polarity between frames while using Continuous SCK can cause errors
in the transfer. Continuous SCK operation is not guaranteed if the module is put into the
External Stop mode or Module Disable mode.
Enabling Continuous SCK disables the PCS to SCK delay and the Delay after Transfer
(tDT) is fixed to one SCK cycle. The following figure is the timing diagram for
Continuous SCK format with Continuous Selection disabled.
NOTE
In Continuous SCK mode, for the SPI transfer CTAR0 should
always be used, and the TX FIFO must be cleared using the
MCR[CLR_TXF] field before initiating transfer.

If the CONT bit in the TX FIFO entry is set, PCS remains asserted between the transfers.
Under certain conditions, SCK can continue with PCS asserted, but with no data being
shifted out of SOUT, that is, SOUT pulled high. This can cause the slave to receive
incorrect data. Those conditions include:
• Continuous SCK with CONT bit set, but no data in the TX FIFO.
• Continuous SCK with CONT bit set and entering Stopped state (refer to Start and
Stop of module transfers).
• Continuous SCK with CONT bit set and entering Stop mode or Module Disable
mode.

50.4.6 Slave Mode Operation Constraints
Slave mode logic shift register is buffered. This allows data streaming operation, when
the module is permanently selected and data is shifted in with a constant rate.
The transmit data is transferred at second SCK clock edge of the each frame to the shift
register if the SS signal is asserted and any time when transmit data is ready and SS
signal is negated.
Received data is transferred to the receive buffer at last SCK edge of each frame, defined
by frame size programmed to the CTAR0/1 register. Then the data from the buffer is
transferred to the RXFIFO or DDR register.
If the SS negates before that last SCK edge, the data from shift register is lost.

50.4.7 Interrupts/DMA requests
The module has several conditions that can generate only interrupt requests and two
conditions that can generate interrupt or DMA requests. The following table lists these
conditions.

The module also provides a global interrupt request line, which is asserted when any of
individual interrupt requests lines is asserted.

Functional description

50.4.7.1 End Of Queue interrupt request
The End Of Queue (EOQ) interrupt request indicates that the end of a transmit queue is
reached. The module generates the interrupt request when EOQ interrupt requests are
enabled (RSER[EOQF_RE]) and the EOQ bit in the executing SPI command is 1.
The module generates the interrupt request when the last bit of the SPI frame with EOQ
bit set is transmitted.

50.4.7.2 Transmit FIFO Fill Interrupt or DMA Request
The Transmit FIFO Fill Request indicates that the TX FIFO is not full. The Transmit
FIFO Fill Request is generated when the number of entries in the TX FIFO is less than
the maximum number of possible entries, and the TFFF_RE bit in the RSER is set. The
TFFF_DIRS bit in the RSER selects whether a DMA request or an interrupt request is
generated.
NOTE
TFFF flag clears automatically when DMA is used to fill TX
FIFO.
To clear TFFF when not using DMA, follow these steps for
every PUSH performed using CPU to fill TX FIFO:
1. Wait until TFFF = 1.
2. Write data to PUSHR using CPU.
3. Clear TFFF by writing a 1 to its location. If TX FIFO is not
full, this flag will not clear.

50.4.7.3 Transfer Complete Interrupt Request
The Transfer Complete Request indicates the end of the transfer of a serial frame. The
Transfer Complete Request is generated at the end of each frame transfer when the
TCF_RE bit is set in the RSER.

50.4.7.4 Transmit FIFO Underflow Interrupt Request
The Transmit FIFO Underflow Request indicates that an underflow condition in the TX
FIFO has occurred. The transmit underflow condition is detected only for the module
operating in Slave mode and SPI configuration . The TFUF bit is set when the TX FIFO

Chapter 50 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

of the module is empty, and a transfer is initiated from an external SPI master. If the
TFUF bit is set while the TFUF_RE bit in the RSER is set, an interrupt request is
generated.

50.4.7.5 Receive FIFO Drain Interrupt or DMA Request
The Receive FIFO Drain Request indicates that the RX FIFO is not empty. The Receive
FIFO Drain Request is generated when the number of entries in the RX FIFO is not zero,
and the RFDF_RE bit in the RSER is set. The RFDF_DIRS bit in the RSER selects
whether a DMA request or an interrupt request is generated.

50.4.7.6 Receive FIFO Overflow Interrupt Request
The Receive FIFO Overflow Request indicates that an overflow condition in the RX
FIFO has occurred. A Receive FIFO Overflow request is generated when RX FIFO and
shift register are full and a transfer is initiated. The RFOF_RE bit in the RSER must be
set for the interrupt request to be generated.
Depending on the state of the ROOE bit in the MCR, the data from the transfer that
generated the overflow is either ignored or shifted in to the shift register. If the ROOE bit
is set, the incoming data is shifted in to the shift register. If the ROOE bit is cleared, the
incoming data is ignored.

50.4.8 Power saving features
The module supports following power-saving strategies:
• External Stop mode
• Module Disable mode – Clock gating of non-memory mapped logic

50.4.8.1 Stop mode (External Stop mode)
This module supports the Stop mode protocol. When a request is made to enter External
Stop mode, this module acknowledges the request . If a serial transfer is in progress, then
this module waits until it reaches the frame boundary before it is ready to have its clocks
shut off . While the clocks are shut off, this module's memory-mapped logic is not

Initialization/application information

accessible. This also puts the module in STOPPED state. The SR[TXRXS] bit is cleared
to indicate STOPPED state. The states of the interrupt and DMA request signals cannot
be changed while in External Stop mode.

50.4.8.2 Module Disable mode
Module Disable mode is a block-specific mode that the module can enter to save power.
Host CPU can initiate the Module Disable mode by setting the MDIS bit in the MCR.
The Module Disable mode can also be initiated by hardware.
When the MDIS bit is set, the module negates the Clock Enable signal at the next frame
boundary. Once the Clock Enable signal is negated, it is said to have entered Module
Disable Mode. This also puts the module in STOPPED state. The SR[TXRXS] bit is
cleared to indicate STOPPED state.If implemented, the Clock Enable signal can stop the
clock to the non-memory mapped logic. When Clock Enable is negated, the module is in
a dormant state, but the memory mapped registers are still accessible. Certain read or
write operations have a different effect when the module is in the Module Disable mode.
Reading the RX FIFO Pop Register does not change the state of the RX FIFO. Similarly,
writing to the PUSHR Register does not change the state of the TX FIFO. Clearing either
of the FIFOs has no effect in the Module Disable mode. Changes to the DIS_TXF and
DIS_RXF fields of the MCR have no effect in the Module Disable mode. In the Module
Disable mode, all status bits and register flags in the module return the correct values
when read, but writing to them has no effect. Writing to the TCR during Module Disable
mode has no effect. Interrupt and DMA request signals cannot be cleared while in the
Module Disable mode.

50.5 Initialization/application information
This section describes how to initialize the module.

50.5.1 How to manage queues
The queues are not part of the module, but it includes features in support of queue
management. Queues are primarily supported in SPI configuration.
1. When module executes last command word from a queue, the EOQ bit in the
command word is set to indicate it that this is the last entry in the queue.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1488

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 50 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

2. At the end of the transfer, corresponding to the command word with EOQ set is
sampled, the EOQ flag (EOQF) in the SR is set.
3. The setting of the EOQF flag disables serial transmission and reception of data,
putting the module in the Stopped state. The TXRXS bit is cleared to indicate the
Stopped state.
4. The DMA can continue to fill TX FIFO until it is full or step 5 occurs.
5. Disable DMA transfers by disabling the DMA enable request for the DMA channel
assigned to TX FIFO and RX FIFO. This is done by clearing the corresponding
DMA enable request bits in the DMA Controller.
6. Ensure all received data in RX FIFO has been transferred to memory receive queue
by reading the RXCNT in SR or by checking RFDF in the SR after each read
operation of the POPR.
7. Modify DMA descriptor of TX and RX channels for new queues
8. Flush TX FIFO by writing a 1 to the CLR_TXF bit in the MCR. Flush RX FIFO by
writing a '1' to the CLR_RXF bit in the MCR.
9. Clear transfer count either by setting CTCNT bit in the command word of the first

10. Enable DMA channel by enabling the DMA enable request for the DMA channel
assigned to the module TX FIFO, and RX FIFO by setting the corresponding DMA
set enable request bit.
11. Enable serial transmission and serial reception of data by clearing the EOQF bit.

50.5.2 Switching Master and Slave mode
When changing modes in the module, follow the steps below to guarantee proper
operation.
1. Halt it by setting MCR[HALT].
2. Clear the transmit and receive FIFOs by writing a 1 to the CLR_TXF and CLR_RXF
bits in MCR.
3. Set the appropriate mode in MCR[MSTR] and enable it by clearing MCR[HALT].

50.5.3 Initializing Module in Master/Slave Modes
Once the appropriate mode in MCR[MSTR] is configured, the module is enabled by
clearing MCR[HALT]. It should be ensured that module Slave is enabled before enabling
it's Master. This ensures the Slave is ready to be communicated with, before Master
initializes communication.

50.5.4 Baud rate settings
The following table shows the baud rate that is generated based on the combination of the
baud rate prescaler PBR and the baud rate scaler BR in the CTARs. The values calculated
assume a 100 MHz protocol frequency and the double baud rate DBR bit is cleared.
NOTE
The clock frequency mentioned above is given as an example in
this chapter. See the clocking chapter for the frequency used to
drive this module in the device.

50.5.6 Calculation of FIFO pointer addresses
Complete visibility of the FIFO contents is available through the FIFO registers, and
valid entries can be identified through a memory-mapped pointer and counter for each
FIFO. The pointer to the first-in entry in each FIFO is memory mapped. For the TX FIFO
the first-in pointer is the Transmit Next Pointer (TXNXTPTR). For the RX FIFO the
first-in pointer is the Pop Next Pointer (POPNXTPTR). The following figure illustrates
the concept of first-in and last-in FIFO entries along with the FIFO Counter. The TX

Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
51.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The inter-integrated circuit (I2C, I2C, or IIC) module provides a method of
communication between a number of devices.
The interface is designed to operate up to with maximum bus loading and timing. The
I2C device is capable of operating at higher baud rates, up to a maximum of clock/20,
with reduced bus loading. The maximum communication length and the number of
devices that can be connected are limited by a maximum bus capacitance of 400 pF. The
I2C module also complies with the System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification,
version 2.

51.1.2 Modes of operation
The I2C module's operation in various low power modes is as follows:
• Run mode: This is the basic mode of operation. To conserve power in this mode,
disable the module.
• Wait mode: The module continues to operate when the core is in Wait mode and can
provide a wakeup interrupt.
• Stop mode: The module is inactive in Stop mode for reduced power consumption,
except that address matching is enabled in Stop mode. The STOP instruction does
not affect the I2C module's register states.

ClockRate
Prescales the I2C module clock for bit rate selection. This field and the MULT field determine the I2C baud
rate, the SDA hold time, the SCL start hold time, and the SCL stop hold time. For a list of values
corresponding to each ICR setting, see I2C divider and hold values.
The SCL divider multiplied by multiplier factor (mul) determines the I2C baud rate.
I2C baud rate = I2C module clock speed (Hz)/(mul × SCL divider)
The SDA hold time is the delay from the falling edge of SCL (I2C clock) to the changing of SDA (I2C data).
SDA hold time = I2C module clock period (s) × mul × SDA hold value
The SCL start hold time is the delay from the falling edge of SDA (I2C data) while SCL is high (start
condition) to the falling edge of SCL (I2C clock).
SCL start hold time = I2C module clock period (s) × mul × SCL start hold value
The SCL stop hold time is the delay from the rising edge of SCL (I2C clock) to the rising edge of SDA (I2C
data) while SCL is high (stop condition).
SCL stop hold time = I2C module clock period (s) × mul × SCL stop hold value
For example, if the I2C module clock speed is 8 MHz, the following table shows the possible hold time
values with different ICR and MULT selections to achieve an I2C baud rate of 100 kbit/s.

All DMA signalling disabled.
DMA transfer is enabled. While SMB[FACK] = 0, the following conditions trigger the DMA request:
• a data byte is received, and either address or data is transmitted. (ACK/NACK is automatic)
• the first byte received matches the A1 register or is a general call address.
If any address matching occurs, S[IAAS] and S[TCF] are set. If the direction of transfer is known from
master to slave, then it is not required to check S[SRW]. With this assumption, DMA can also be used
in this case. In other cases, if the master reads data from the slave, then it is required to rewrite the
C1 register operation. With this assumption, DMA cannot be used.
When FACK = 1, an address or a data byte is transmitted.

Addressed As A Slave
This bit is set by one of the following conditions:
• The calling address matches the programmed primary slave address in the A1 register, or matches
the range address in the RA register (which must be set to a nonzero value and under the condition
I2C_C2[RMEN] = 1).
• C2[GCAEN] is set and a general call is received.
• SMB[SIICAEN] is set and the calling address matches the second programmed slave address.
• ALERTEN is set and an SMBus alert response address is received
• RMEN is set and an address is received that is within the range between the values of the A1 and
RA registers.
IAAS sets before the ACK bit. The CPU must check the SRW bit and set TX/RX accordingly. Writing the
C1 register with any value clears this bit.

DATA

Description
Data
In master transmit mode, when data is written to this register, a data transfer is initiated. The most
significant bit is sent first. In master receive mode, reading this register initiates receiving of the next byte
of data.
NOTE: When making the transition out of master receive mode, switch the I2C mode before reading the
Data register to prevent an inadvertent initiation of a master receive data transfer.
In slave mode, the same functions are available after an address match occurs.
The C1[TX] bit must correctly reflect the desired direction of transfer in master and slave modes for the
transmission to begin. For example, if the I2C module is configured for master transmit but a master
receive is desired, reading the Data register does not initiate the receive.
Reading the Data register returns the last byte received while the I2C module is configured in master
receive or slave receive mode. The Data register does not reflect every byte that is transmitted on the I2C
bus, and neither can software verify that a byte has been written to the Data register correctly by reading it
back.
In master transmit mode, the first byte of data written to the Data register following assertion of MST (start
bit) or assertion of RSTA (repeated start bit) is used for the address transfer and must consist of the
calling address (in bits 7-1) concatenated with the required R/W bit (in position bit 0).

SHEN

Description
Stop Hold Enable
Set this bit to hold off entry to stop mode when any data transmission or reception is occurring.
The following scenario explains the holdoff functionality:
1. The I2C module is configured for a basic transfer, and the SHEN bit is set to 1.
2. A transfer begins.
3. The MCU signals the I2C module to enter stop mode.
4. The byte currently being transferred, including both address and data, completes its transfer.
5. The I2C slave or master acknowledges that the in-transfer byte completed its transfer and
acknowledges the request to enter stop mode.
6. After receiving the I2C module's acknowledgment of the request to enter stop mode, the MCU
determines whether to shut off the I2C module's clock.
If the SHEN bit is set to 1 and the I2C module is in an idle or disabled state when the MCU signals to enter
stop mode, the module immediately acknowledges the request to enter stop mode.
If SHEN is cleared to 0 and the overall data transmission or reception that was suspended by stop mode
entry was incomplete: To resume the overall transmission or reception after the MCU exits stop mode,
software must reinitialize the transfer by resending the address of the slave.
If the I2C Control Register 1's IICIE bit was set to 1 before the MCU entered stop mode, system software
will receive the interrupt triggered by the I2C Status Register's TCF bit after the MCU wakes from the stop
mode.

51.4 Functional description
This section provides a comprehensive functional description of the I2C module.

51.4.1 I2C protocol
The I2C bus system uses a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) for data
transfers.
All devices connected to it must have open drain or open collector outputs. A logic AND
function is exercised on both lines with external pull-up resistors. The value of these
resistors depends on the system.
Normally, a standard instance of communication is composed of four parts:
1.
2.
3.
4.

START signal
Slave address transmission
Data transfer
STOP signal

The STOP signal should not be confused with the CPU STOP instruction. The following
figure illustrates I2C bus system communication.

Figure 51-50. I2C bus transmission signals

51.4.1.1 START signal
The bus is free when no master device is engaging the bus (both SCL and SDA are high).
When the bus is free, a master may initiate communication by sending a START signal.
A START signal is defined as a high-to-low transition of SDA while SCL is high. This
signal denotes the beginning of a new data transfer—each data transfer might contain
several bytes of data—and brings all slaves out of their idle states.

51.4.1.2 Slave address transmission
Immediately after the START signal, the first byte of a data transfer is the slave address
transmitted by the master. This address is a 7-bit calling address followed by an R/W bit.
The R/W bit tells the slave the desired direction of data transfer.
• 1 = Read transfer: The slave transmits data to the master
• 0 = Write transfer: The master transmits data to the slave
Only the slave with a calling address that matches the one transmitted by the master
responds by sending an acknowledge bit. The slave sends the acknowledge bit by pulling
SDA low at the ninth clock.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1511

Functional description

No two slaves in the system can have the same address. If the I2C module is the master, it
must not transmit an address that is equal to its own slave address. The I2C module
cannot be master and slave at the same time. However, if arbitration is lost during an
address cycle, the I2C module reverts to slave mode and operates correctly even if it is
being addressed by another master.

51.4.1.3 Data transfers
When successful slave addressing is achieved, data transfer can proceed on a byte-bybyte basis in the direction specified by the R/W bit sent by the calling master.
All transfers that follow an address cycle are referred to as data transfers, even if they
carry subaddress information for the slave device.
Each data byte is 8 bits long. Data may be changed only while SCL is low. Data must be
held stable while SCL is high. There is one clock pulse on SCL for each data bit, and the
MSB is transferred first. Each data byte is followed by a ninth (acknowledge) bit, which
is signaled from the receiving device by pulling SDA low at the ninth clock. In summary,
one complete data transfer needs nine clock pulses.
If the slave receiver does not acknowledge the master in the ninth bit, the slave must
leave SDA high. The master interprets the failed acknowledgement as an unsuccessful
data transfer.
If the master receiver does not acknowledge the slave transmitter after a data byte
transmission, the slave interprets it as an end to data transfer and releases the SDA line.
In the case of a failed acknowledgement by either the slave or master, the data transfer is
aborted and the master does one of two things:
• Relinquishes the bus by generating a STOP signal.
• Commences a new call by generating a repeated START signal.

51.4.1.4 STOP signal
The master can terminate the communication by generating a STOP signal to free the
bus. A STOP signal is defined as a low-to-high transition of SDA while SCL is asserted.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1512

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 51 Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)

51.4.1.5 Repeated START signal
The master may generate a START signal followed by a calling command without
generating a STOP signal first. This action is called a repeated START. The master uses
a repeated START to communicate with another slave or with the same slave in a
different mode (transmit/receive mode) without releasing the bus.

51.4.1.6 Arbitration procedure
The I2C bus is a true multimaster bus that allows more than one master to be connected
on it.
If two or more masters try to control the bus at the same time, a clock synchronization
procedure determines the bus clock. The bus clock's low period is equal to the longest
clock low period, and the high period is equal to the shortest one among the masters.
The relative priority of the contending masters is determined by a data arbitration
procedure. A bus master loses arbitration if it transmits logic level 1 while another master
transmits logic level 0. The losing masters immediately switch to slave receive mode and
stop driving SDA output. In this case, the transition from master to slave mode does not
generate a STOP condition. Meanwhile, hardware sets a status bit to indicate the loss of
arbitration.

51.4.1.7 Clock synchronization
Because wire AND logic is performed on SCL, a high-to-low transition on SCL affects
all devices connected on the bus. The devices start counting their low period and, after a
device's clock has gone low, that device holds SCL low until the clock reaches its high
state. However, the change of low to high in this device clock might not change the state
of SCL if another device clock is still within its low period. Therefore, the synchronized
clock SCL is held low by the device with the longest low period. Devices with shorter
low periods enter a high wait state during this time; see the following diagram. When all
applicable devices have counted off their low period, the synchronized clock SCL is
released and pulled high. Afterward there is no difference between the device clocks and
the state of SCL, and all devices start counting their high periods. The first device to
complete its high period pulls SCL low again.

Figure 51-51. I2C clock synchronization

51.4.1.8 Handshaking
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used as a handshake in data transfers. A
slave device may hold SCL low after completing a single byte transfer (9 bits). In this
case, it halts the bus clock and forces the master clock into wait states until the slave
releases SCL.

51.4.1.9 Clock stretching
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used by slaves to slow down the bit rate of
a transfer. After the master drives SCL low, a slave can drive SCL low for the required
period and then release it. If the slave's SCL low period is greater than the master's SCL
low period, the resulting SCL bus signal's low period is stretched. In other words, the
SCL bus signal's low period is increased to be the same length as the slave's SCL low
period.

51.4.1.10 I2C divider and hold values
NOTE
For some cases on some devices, the SCL divider value may
vary by ±2 or ±4 when ICR's value ranges from 00h to 0Fh.
These potentially varying SCL divider values are highlighted in
the following table. For the actual SCL divider values for your
device, see the chip-specific details about the I2C module.

51.4.2 10-bit address
For 10-bit addressing, 0x11110 is used for the first 5 bits of the first address byte.
Various combinations of read/write formats are possible within a transfer that includes
10-bit addressing.

51.4.2.1 Master-transmitter addresses a slave-receiver
The transfer direction is not changed. When a 10-bit address follows a START condition,
each slave compares the first 7 bits of the first byte of the slave address (11110XX) with
its own address and tests whether the eighth bit (R/W direction bit) is 0. It is possible that
more than one device finds a match and generates an acknowledge (A1). Each slave that
finds a match compares the 8 bits of the second byte of the slave address with its own
address, but only one slave finds a match and generates an acknowledge (A2). The
matching slave remains addressed by the master until it receives a STOP condition (P) or
a repeated START condition (Sr) followed by a different slave address.

After the master-transmitter has sent the first byte of the 10-bit address, the slave-receiver
sees an I2C interrupt. User software must ensure that for this interrupt, the contents of the
Data register are ignored and not treated as valid data.

51.4.2.2 Master-receiver addresses a slave-transmitter
The transfer direction is changed after the second R/W bit. Up to and including
acknowledge bit A2, the procedure is the same as that described for a master-transmitter
addressing a slave-receiver. After the repeated START condition (Sr), a matching slave
remembers that it was addressed before. This slave then checks whether the first seven
bits of the first byte of the slave address following Sr are the same as they were after the
START condition (S), and it tests whether the eighth (R/W) bit is 1. If there is a match,
the slave considers that it has been addressed as a transmitter and generates acknowledge
A3. The slave-transmitter remains addressed until it receives a STOP condition (P) or a
repeated START condition (Sr) followed by a different slave address.

Chapter 51 Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)

After a repeated START condition (Sr), all other slave devices also compare the first
seven bits of the first byte of the slave address with their own addresses and test the
eighth (R/W) bit. However, none of them are addressed because R/W = 1 (for 10-bit
devices), or the 11110XX slave address (for 7-bit devices) does not match.

Data register are ignored and not treated as valid data.

51.4.3 Address matching
All received addresses can be requested in 7-bit or 10-bit address format.
• AD[7:1] in Address Register 1, which contains the I2C primary slave address, always
participates in the address matching process. It provides a 7-bit address.
• If the ADEXT bit is set, AD[10:8] in Control Register 2 participates in the address
matching process. It extends the I2C primary slave address to a 10-bit address.
Additional conditions that affect address matching include:
• If the GCAEN bit is set, general call participates the address matching process.
• If the ALERTEN bit is set, alert response participates the address matching process.
• If the SIICAEN bit is set, Address Register 2 participates in the address matching
process.
• If the RMEN bit is set, when the Range Address register is programmed to a nonzero
value, any address within the range of values of Address Register 1 (excluded) and
the Range Address register (included) participates in the address matching process.
The Range Address register must be programmed to a value greater than the value of
Address Register 1.
When the I2C module responds to one of these addresses, it acts as a slave-receiver and
the IAAS bit is set after the address cycle. Software must read the Data register after the
first byte transfer to determine that the address is matched.

Functional description

51.4.4 System management bus specification
SMBus provides a control bus for system and power management related tasks. A system
can use SMBus to pass messages to and from devices instead of tripping individual
control lines.
Removing the individual control lines reduces pin count. Accepting messages ensures
future expandability. With the system management bus, a device can provide
manufacturer information, tell the system what its model/part number is, save its state for
a suspend event, report different types of errors, accept control parameters, and return its
status.

51.4.4.1 Timeouts
The TTIMEOUT,MIN parameter allows a master or slave to conclude that a defective device
is holding the clock low indefinitely or a master is intentionally trying to drive devices
off the bus. The slave device must release the bus (stop driving the bus and let SCL and
SDA float high) when it detects any single clock held low longer than TTIMEOUT,MIN.
Devices that have detected this condition must reset their communication and be able to
receive a new START condition within the timeframe of TTIMEOUT,MAX.
SMBus defines a clock low timeout, TTIMEOUT, of 35 ms, specifies TLOW:SEXT as the
cumulative clock low extend time for a slave device, and specifies TLOW:MEXT as the
cumulative clock low extend time for a master device.
51.4.4.1.1

SCL low timeout

If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is
possible. Furthermore, the master cannot force the SCL line high to correct the error
condition. To solve this problem, the SMBus protocol specifies that devices participating
in a transfer must detect any clock cycle held low longer than a timeout value condition.
Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset the communication. When
the I2C module is an active master, if it detects that SMBCLK low has exceeded the
value of TTIMEOUT,MIN, it must generate a stop condition within or after the current data
byte in the transfer process. When the I2C module is a slave, if it detects the
TTIMEOUT,MIN condition, it resets its communication and is then able to receive a new
START condition.

Chapter 51 Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)

51.4.4.1.2

SCL high timeout

When the I2C module has determined that the SMBCLK and SMBDAT signals have
been high for at least THIGH:MAX, it assumes that the bus is idle.
A HIGH timeout occurs after a START condition appears on the bus but before a STOP
condition appears on the bus. Any master detecting this scenario can assume the bus is
free when either of the following occurs:
• SHTF1 rises.
• The BUSY bit is high and SHTF1 is high.
When the SMBDAT signal is low and the SMBCLK signal is high for a period of time,
another kind of timeout occurs. The time period must be defined in software. SHTF2 is
used as the flag when the time limit is reached. This flag is also an interrupt resource, so
it triggers IICIF.
51.4.4.1.3

CSMBCLK TIMEOUT MEXT and CSMBCLK TIMEOUT SEXT

The following figure illustrates the definition of the timeout intervals TLOW:SEXT and
TLOW:MEXT. When in master mode, the I2C module must not cumulatively extend its
clock cycles for a period greater than TLOW:MEXT within a byte, where each byte is
defined as START-to-ACK, ACK-to-ACK, or ACK-to-STOP. When CSMBCLK
TIMEOUT MEXT occurs, SMBus MEXT rises and also triggers the SLTF.

Figure 51-52. Timeout measurement intervals

A master is allowed to abort the transaction in progress to any slave that violates the
TLOW:SEXT or TTIMEOUT,MIN specifications. To abort the transaction, the master issues a
STOP condition at the conclusion of the byte transfer in progress. When a slave, the I2C
module must not cumulatively extend its clock cycles for a period greater than
TLOW:SEXT during any message from the initial START to the STOP. When CSMBCLK
TIMEOUT SEXT occurs, SEXT rises and also triggers SLTF.

Functional description

NOTE
CSMBCLK TIMEOUT SEXT and CSMBCLK TIMEOUT
MEXT are optional functions that are implemented in the
second step.

51.4.4.2 FAST ACK and NACK
To improve reliability and communication robustness, implementation of packet error
checking (PEC) by SMBus devices is optional for SMBus devices but required for
devices participating in and only during the address resolution protocol (ARP) process.
The PEC is a CRC-8 error checking byte, calculated on all the message bytes. The PEC is
appended to the message by the device that supplied the last data byte. If the PEC is
present but not correct, a NACK is issued by the receiver. Otherwise an ACK is issued.
To calculate the CRC-8 by software, this module can hold the SCL line low after
receiving the eighth SCL (8th bit) if this byte is a data byte. So software can determine
whether an ACK or NACK should be sent to the bus by setting or clearing the TXAK bit
if the FACK (fast ACK/NACK enable) bit is enabled.
SMBus requires a device always to acknowledge its own address, as a mechanism to
detect the presence of a removable device (such as a battery or docking station) on the
bus. In addition to indicating a slave device busy condition, SMBus uses the NACK
mechanism to indicate the reception of an invalid command or invalid data. Because such
a condition may occur on the last byte of the transfer, SMBus devices are required to
have the ability to generate the not acknowledge after the transfer of each byte and before
the completion of the transaction. This requirement is important because SMBus does not
provide any other resend signaling. This difference in the use of the NACK signaling has
implications on the specific implementation of the SMBus port, especially in devices that
handle critical system data such as the SMBus host and the SBS components.
NOTE
In the last byte of master receive slave transmit mode, the
master must send a NACK to the bus, so FACK must be
switched off before the last byte transmits.

51.4.5 Resets
The I2C module is disabled after a reset. The I2C module cannot cause a core reset.

51.4.6 Interrupts
The I2C module generates an interrupt when any of the events in the table found here
occur, provided that the IICIE bit is set.
The interrupt is driven by the IICIF bit (of the I2C Status Register) and masked with the
IICIE bit (of the I2C Control Register 1). The IICIF bit must be cleared (by software) by
writing 1 to it in the interrupt routine. The SMBus timeouts interrupt is driven by SLTF
and masked with the IICIE bit. The SLTF bit must be cleared by software by writing 1 to
it in the interrupt routine. You can determine the interrupt type by reading the Status
Register.
NOTE
In master receive mode, the FACK bit must be set to zero
before the last byte transfer.

51.4.6.1 Byte transfer interrupt
The Transfer Complete Flag (TCF) bit is set at the falling edge of the ninth clock to
indicate the completion of a byte and acknowledgement transfer. When FACK is enabled,
TCF is then set at the falling edge of eighth clock to indicate the completion of byte.

51.4.6.2 Address detect interrupt
When the calling address matches the programmed slave address (I2C Address Register)
or when the GCAEN bit is set and a general call is received, the IAAS bit in the Status
Register is set. The CPU is interrupted, provided the IICIE bit is set. The CPU must
check the SRW bit and set its Tx mode accordingly.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

1521

Functional description

51.4.6.3 Stop Detect Interrupt
When the stop status is detected on the I2C bus, the STOPF bit is set to 1. The CPU is
interrupted, provided the IICIE and STOPIE bits are both set to 1.

51.4.6.4 Exit from low-power/stop modes
The slave receive input detect circuit and address matching feature are still active on low
power modes (wait and stop). An asynchronous input matching slave address or general
call address brings the CPU out of low power/stop mode if the interrupt is not masked.
Therefore, TCF and IAAS both can trigger this interrupt.

51.4.6.5 Arbitration lost interrupt
The I2C is a true multimaster bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it.
If two or more masters try to control the bus at the same time, the relative priority of the
contending masters is determined by a data arbitration procedure. The I2C module asserts
the arbitration-lost interrupt when it loses the data arbitration process and the ARBL bit
in the Status Register is set.
Arbitration is lost in the following circumstances:
1. SDA is sampled as low when the master drives high during an address or data
transmit cycle.
2. SDA is sampled as low when the master drives high during the acknowledge bit of a
data receive cycle.
3. A START cycle is attempted when the bus is busy.
4. A repeated START cycle is requested in slave mode.
5. A STOP condition is detected when the master did not request it.
The ARBL bit must be cleared (by software) by writing 1 to it.

1522

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 51 Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)

51.4.6.6 Timeout interrupt in SMBus
When the IICIE bit is set, the I2C module asserts a timeout interrupt (outputs SLTF and
SHTF2) upon detection of any of the mentioned timeout conditions, with one exception.
The SCL high and SDA high TIMEOUT mechanism must not be used to influence the
timeout interrupt output, because this timeout indicates an idle condition on the bus.
SHTF1 rises when it matches the SCL high and SDA high TIMEOUT and falls
automatically just to indicate the bus status. The SHTF2's timeout period is the same as
that of SHTF1, which is short compared to that of SLTF, so another control bit,
SHTF2IE, is added to enable or disable it.

51.4.7 Programmable input glitch filter
An I2C glitch filter has been added outside legacy I2C modules but within the I2C
package. This filter can absorb glitches on the I2C clock and data lines for the I2C
module.
The width of the glitch to absorb can be specified in terms of the number of (half) I2C
module clock cycles. A single Programmable Input Glitch Filter control register is
provided. Effectively, any down-up-down or up-down-up transition on the data line that
occurs within the number of clock cycles programmed in this register is ignored by the
I2C module. The programmer must specify the size of the glitch (in terms of I2C module
clock cycles) for the filter to absorb and not pass.

51.4.8 Address matching wake-up
When a primary, range, or general call address match occurs when the I2C module is in
slave receive mode, the MCU wakes from a low power mode where no peripheral bus is
running.
After the address matching IAAS bit is set, an interrupt is sent at the end of address
matching to wake the core.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1523

Initialization/application information

NOTE
During the wake-up process, if an external master continues to
send data to the slave, the baud rate under Stop mode must be
less than 50 kbit/s. To avoid the slower baud rate under Stop
mode, the master can add a short delay in firmware to wait until
the wake-up process is complete and then send data.
NOTE
Wake-up caused by an address match is not supported for
SMBus mode.

51.4.9 DMA support
If the DMAEN bit is cleared and the IICIE bit is set, an interrupt condition generates an
interrupt request.
If the DMAEN bit is set and the IICIE bit is set, an interrupt condition generates a DMA
request instead. DMA requests are generated by the transfer complete flag (TCF).
If the DMAEN bit is set, only the TCF initiates a DMA request. All other events generate
CPU interrupts.
NOTE
Before the last byte of master receive mode, TXAK must be set
to send a NACK after the last byte's transfer. Therefore, the
DMA must be disabled before the last byte's transfer.
NOTE
In 10-bit address mode transmission, the addresses to send
occupy 2–3 bytes. During this transfer period, the DMA must
be disabled because the C1 register is written to send a repeat
start or to change the transfer direction.

initiated by writing the Data register. An example of an I2C driver which implements
many of the steps described here is available in AN4342: Using the Inter-Integrated
Circuit on ColdFire+ and Kinetis .

Notes:
1. If general call is enabled, check to determine if the received address is a general call address (0x00).
If the received address is a general call address, the general call must be handled by user software.
2. When 10-bit addressing addresses a slave, the slave sees an interrupt following the first byte of the extended address.
Ensure that for this interrupt, the contents of the Data register are ignored and not treated as a valid data transfer.

Notes:
1. If general call or SIICAEN is enabled, check to determine if the received address is a general call address (0x00) or an SMBus
device default address. In either case, they must be handled by user software.
2. In receive mode, one bit time delay may be needed before the first and second data reading, to wait for the possible longest time
period (in worst case) of the 9th SCL cycle.
3. This read is a dummy read in order to reset the SMBus receiver state machine.

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
(UART)
52.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The UART allows asynchronous serial communication with peripheral devices and
CPUs.

52.1.1 Features
The UART includes the following features:
• Full-duplex operation
• Standard mark/space non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format
• Selectable IrDA 1.4 return-to-zero-inverted (RZI) format with programmable pulse
width
• 13-bit baud rate selection with /32 fractional divide, based on the module clock
frequency
• Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit data format
• Programmable 1 or 2 stop bits in a data frame.
• Separately enabled transmitter and receiver
• Programmable transmitter output polarity
• Programmable receive input polarity

52.1.2 Modes of operation
The UART functions in the same way in all the normal modes.
It has the following low power modes:
• Wait mode
• Stop mode

52.1.2.1 Run mode
This is the normal mode of operation.

52.1.2.2 Wait mode
UART operation in the Wait mode depends on the state of the C1[UARTSWAI] field.

UART signal descriptions

• If C1[UARTSWAI] is cleared, and the CPU is in Wait mode, the UART operates
normally.
• If C1[UARTSWAI] is set, and the CPU is in Wait mode, the UART clock generation
ceases and the UART module enters a power conservation state.
C1[UARTSWAI] does not initiate any power down or power up procedures for the
ISO-7816 smartcard interface.
Setting C1[UARTSWAI] does not affect the state of the C2[RE] or C2[TE].
If C1[UARTSWAI] is set, any ongoing transmission or reception stops at the Wait mode
entry. The transmission or reception resumes when either an internal or external interrupt
brings the CPU out of Wait mode. Bringing the CPU out of Wait mode by reset aborts
any ongoing transmission or reception and resets the UART.

52.1.2.3 Stop mode
The UART is inactive during Stop mode for reduced power consumption. The STOP
instruction does not affect the UART register states, but the UART module clock is
disabled. The UART operation resumes after an external interrupt brings the CPU out of
Stop mode. Bringing the CPU out of Stop mode by reset aborts any ongoing transmission
or reception and resets the UART. Entering or leaving Stop mode does not initiate any
power down or power up procedures for the ISO-7816 smartcard interface.

Table 52-2. UART—Detailed signal descriptions
Signal

I/O

Description

CTS

I

Clear to send. Indicates whether the UART can start transmitting data when flow control is
enabled.
State meaning

Asserted—Data transmission can start.
Negated—Data transmission cannot start.

Timing

Assertion—When transmitting device's RTS asserts.
Negation—When transmitting device's RTS deasserts.

RTS

O

Request to send. When driven by the receiver, indicates whether the UART is ready to
receive data. When driven by the transmitter, can enable an external transceiver during
transmission.
State
meaning

Asserted—When driven by the receiver, ready to receive data. When
driven by the transmitter, enable the external transmitter.
Negated—When driven by the receiver, not ready to receive data. When
driven by the transmitter, disable the external transmitter.

Timing

Assertion—Can occur at any time; can assert asynchronously to the other
input signals.
Negation—Can occur at any time; can deassert asynchronously to the
other input signals.

RXD

I

Receive data. Serial data input to receiver.
State meaning
Timing

TXD

O

Whether RXD is interpreted as a 1 or 0 depends on the bit encoding
method along with other configuration settings.
Sampled at a frequency determined by the module clock divided by the
baud rate.
Transmit data. Serial data output from transmitter.

State meaning
Timing

Whether TXD is interpreted as a 1 or 0 depends on the bit encoding
method along with other configuration settings.
Driven at the beginning or within a bit time according to the bit encoding
method along with other configuration settings. Otherwise, transmissions
are independent of reception timing.

52.3 Memory map and registers
This section provides a detailed description of all memory and registers.
Accessing reserved addresses within the memory map results in a transfer error. None of
the contents of the implemented addresses are modified as a result of that access.
Only byte accesses are supported.

52.3.1 UART Baud Rate Registers: High (UARTx_BDH)
This register, along with the BDL register, controls the prescale divisor for UART baud
rate generation. To update the 13-bit baud rate setting (SBR[12:0]), first write to BDH to
buffer the high half of the new value and then write to BDL. The working value in BDH
does not change until BDL is written.
BDL is reset to a nonzero value, but after reset, the baud rate generator remains disabled
until the first time the receiver or transmitter is enabled, that is, when C2[RE] or C2[TE]
is set.

UART Baud Rate Bits
The baud rate for the UART is determined by the 13 SBR fields. See Baud rate generation for details.
NOTE:

• The baud rate generator is disabled until C2[TE] or C2[RE] is set for the first time after
reset.The baud rate generator is disabled when SBR = 0.
• Writing to BDH has no effect without writing to BDL, because writing to BDH puts the data
in a temporary location until BDL is written.

52.3.2 UART Baud Rate Registers: Low (UARTx_BDL)
This register, along with the BDH register, controls the prescale divisor for UART baud
rate generation. To update the 13-bit baud rate setting, SBR[12:0], first write to BDH to
buffer the high half of the new value and then write to BDL. The working value in BDH
does not change until BDL is written. BDL is reset to a nonzero value, but after reset, the

ILT

Idle line wakeup.
Address mark wakeup.

Idle Line Type Select
Determines when the receiver starts counting logic 1s as idle character bits. The count begins either after
a valid start bit or after the stop bit. If the count begins after the start bit, then a string of logic 1s preceding
the stop bit can cause false recognition of an idle character. Beginning the count after the stop bit avoids
false idle character recognition, but requires properly synchronized transmissions.
NOTE:

PE

• In case the UART is programmed with ILT = 1, a logic of 1'b0 is automatically shifted after a
received stop bit, therefore resetting the idle count.
• In case the UART is programmed for IDLE line wakeup (RWU = 1 and WAKE = 0), ILT has
no effect on when the receiver starts counting logic 1s as idle character bits. In idle line
wakeup, an idle character is recognized at anytime the receiver sees 10, 11, or 12 1s
depending on the M, PE, and C4[M10] fields.

Idle character bit count starts after start bit.
Idle character bit count starts after stop bit.

Parity Enable

even number of 1s clears the parity bit and an odd number of 1s sets the parity bit. With odd parity, an odd
number of 1s clears the parity bit and an even number of 1s sets the parity bit. This field must be cleared
when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled.

Description
NOTE: RWU must be set only with C1[WAKE] = 0 (wakeup on idle) if the channel is currently not idle.
This can be determined by S2[RAF]. If the flag is set to wake up an IDLE event and the channel
is already idle, it is possible that the UART will discard data. This is because the data must be
received or a LIN break detected after an IDLE is detected before IDLE is allowed to reasserted.

Normal operation.
RWU enables the wakeup function and inhibits further receiver interrupt requests. Normally, hardware
wakes the receiver by automatically clearing RWU.

Send Break
Toggling SBK sends one break character from the following: See Transmitting break characters for the
number of logic 0s for the different configurations. Toggling implies clearing the SBK field before the break
character has finished transmitting. As long as SBK is set, the transmitter continues to send complete
break characters (10, 11, or 12 bits, or 13 or 14 bits, or 15 or 16 bits). Ensure that C2[TE] is asserted
atleast 1 clock before assertion of this bit.
• 10, 11, or 12 logic 0s if S2[BRK13] is cleared
• 13 or 14 logic 0s if S2[BRK13] is set.

52.3.5 UART Status Register 1 (UARTx_S1)
The S1 register provides inputs to the MCU for generation of UART interrupts or DMA
requests. This register can also be polled by the MCU to check the status of its fields. To
clear a flag, the status register should be read followed by a read or write to D register,
depending on the interrupt flag type. Other instructions can be executed between the two
steps as long the handling of I/O is not compromised, but the order of operations is
important for flag clearing. When a flag is configured to trigger a DMA request, assertion
of the associated DMA done signal from the DMA controller clears the flag.
NOTE
• If the condition that results in the assertion of the flag,
interrupt, or DMA request is not resolved prior to clearing
the flag, the flag, and interrupt/DMA request, reasserts. For
example, if the DMA or interrupt service routine fails to
write sufficient data to the transmit buffer to raise it above
the watermark level, the flag reasserts and generates
another interrupt or DMA request.
• Reading an empty data register to clear one of the flags of
the S1 register causes the FIFO pointers to become
misaligned. A receive FIFO flush reinitializes the pointers.

A better way to prevent this situation is to always leave one
byte in FIFO and this byte will be read eventually in
clearing the flag bit.

TDRE

Description
Transmit Data Register Empty Flag
TDRE will set when the number of datawords in the transmit buffer (D and C3[T8])is equal to or less than
the number indicated by TWFIFO[TXWATER]. A character that is in the process of being transmitted is not
included in the count. To clear TDRE, read S1 when TDRE is set and then write to the UART data register
(D). For more efficient interrupt servicing, all data except the final value to be written to the buffer must be
written to D/C3[T8]. Then S1 can be read before writing the final data value, resulting in the clearing of the
TRDE flag. This is more efficient because the TDRE reasserts until the watermark has been exceeded.
So, attempting to clear the TDRE with every write will be ineffective until sufficient data has been written.

TC

Transmit Complete Flag
TC is set when the transmit buffer is empty and no data, preamble, or break character is being
transmitted. When TC is set, the transmit data output signal becomes idle (logic 1). TC is cleared by
reading S1 with TC set and then doing one of the following: When C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled, this
field is set after any NACK signal has been received, but prior to any corresponding guard times expiring.
• Writing to D to transmit new data.
• Queuing a preamble by clearing and then setting C2[TE].
• Queuing a break character by writing 1 to SBK in C2.

RDRF

Transmitter active (sending data, a preamble, or a break).
Transmitter idle (transmission activity complete).

Receive Data Register Full Flag
RDRF is set when the number of datawords in the receive buffer is equal to or more than the number
indicated by RWFIFO[RXWATER]. A dataword that is in the process of being received is not included in
the count. To clear RDRF, read S1 when RDRF is set and then read D. For more efficient interrupt and
DMA operation, read all data except the final value from the buffer, using D/C3[T8]/ED. Then read S1 and
the final data value, resulting in the clearing of the RDRF flag. Even if RDRF is set, data will continue to be
received until an overrun condition occurs.RDRF is prevented from setting while S2[LBKDE] is set.
Additionally, when S2[LBKDE] is set, the received datawords are stored in the receive buffer but over-write
each other.

Description
After the IDLE flag is cleared, a frame must be received (although not necessarily stored in the data buffer,
for example if C2[RWU] is set), or a LIN break character must set the S2[LBKDIF] flag before an idle
condition can set the IDLE flag. To clear IDLE, read UART status S1 with IDLE set and then read D.
IDLE is set when either of the following appear on the receiver input:
• 10 consecutive logic 1s if C1[M] = 0
• 11 consecutive logic 1s if C1[M] = 1 and C4[M10] = 0
• 12 consecutive logic 1s if C1[M] = 1, C4[M10] = 1, and C1[PE] = 1
Idle detection is not supported when7816Eis set/enabled and hence this flag is ignored.
NOTE: When RWU is set and WAKE is cleared, an idle line condition sets the IDLE flag if RWUID is set,
else the IDLE flag does not become set.

OR

Receiver Overrun Flag
OR is set when software fails to prevent the receive data register from overflowing with data. The OR bit is
set immediately after the stop bit has been completely received for the dataword that overflows the buffer
and all the other error flags (FE, NF, and PF) are prevented from setting. The data in the shift register is
lost, but the data already in the UART data registers is not affected. If the OR flag is set, no data is stored
in the data buffer even if sufficient room exists. Additionally, while the OR flag is set, the RDRF and IDLE
flags are blocked from asserting, that is, transition from an inactive to an active state. To clear OR, read
S1 when OR is set and then read D. See functional description for more details regarding the operation of
the OR bit.If LBKDE is enabled and a LIN Break is detected, the OR field asserts if S2[LBKDIF] is not
cleared before the next data character is received. In 7816 mode, it is possible to configure a NACK to be
returned by programing C7816[ONACK].

2
NF

No overrun has occurred since the last time the flag was cleared.
Overrun has occurred or the overrun flag has not been cleared since the last overrun occured.

Noise Flag
NF is set when the UART detects noise on the receiver input. NF does not become set in the case of an
overrun or while the LIN break detect feature is enabled (S2[LBKDE] = 1). When NF is set, it indicates
only that a dataword has been received with noise since the last time it was cleared. There is no
guarantee that the first dataword read from the receive buffer has noise or that there is only one dataword
in the buffer that was received with noise unless the receive buffer has a depth of one. To clear NF, read
S1 and then read D.

FE

Receiver input is either active now or has never become active since the IDLE flag was last cleared.
Receiver input has become idle or the flag has not been cleared since it last asserted.

No noise detected since the last time this flag was cleared. If the receive buffer has a depth greater
than 1 then there may be data in the receiver buffer that was received with noise.
At least one dataword was received with noise detected since the last time the flag was cleared.

Framing Error Flag
FE is set when a logic 0 is accepted as the stop bit. When BDH[SBNS] is set, then FE will set when a logic
0 is accepted for either of the two stop bits. FE does not set in the case of an overrun or while the LIN
break detect feature is enabled (S2[LBKDE] = 1). FE inhibits further data reception until it is cleared. To
clear FE, read S1 with FE set and then read D. The last data in the receive buffer represents the data that
was received with the frame error enabled. Framing errors are not supported when 7816E is set/enabled.
However, if this flag is set, data is still not received in 7816 mode.

PF

Description
Parity Error Flag
PF is set when PE is set and the parity of the received data does not match its parity bit. The PF is not set
in the case of an overrun condition. When PF is set, it indicates only that a dataword was received with
parity error since the last time it was cleared. There is no guarantee that the first dataword read from the
receive buffer has a parity error or that there is only one dataword in the buffer that was received with a
parity error, unless the receive buffer has a depth of one. To clear PF, read S1 and then read D.,
S2[LBKDE] is disabled,Within the receive buffer structure the received dataword is tagged if it is received
with a parity error. This information is available by reading the ED register prior to reading the D register.

MSB (bit8, bit7 or bit6) is the first bit that is transmitted following the start bit, depending on the setting
of C1[M] and C1[PE]. Further, the first bit received after the start bit is identified as bit8, bit7, or bit6,
depending on the setting of C1[M] and C1[PE].

Receive Data Inversion
Setting this field reverses the polarity of the received data input. In NRZ format, a one is represented by a
mark and a zero is represented by a space for normal polarity, and the opposite for inverted polarity. In
IrDA format, a zero is represented by short high pulse in the middle of a bit time remaining idle low for a

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

NOTE
• In 8-bit or 9-bit data format, only UART data register (D)
needs to be accessed to clear the S1[RDRF] bit (assuming
receiver buffer level is less than RWFIFO[RXWATER]).
The C3 register needs to be read, prior to the D register,
only if the ninth bit of data needs to be captured. Similarly,
the ED register needs to be read, prior to the D register,
only if the additional flag data for the dataword needs to be
captured.
• In the normal 8-bit mode (M bit cleared) if the parity is
enabled, you get seven data bits and one parity bit. That
one parity bit is loaded into the D register. So, for the data
bits, mask off the parity bit from the value you read out of
this register.
• When transmitting in 9-bit data format and using 8-bit
write instructions, write first to transmit bit 8 in UART
control register 3 (C3[T8]), then D. A write to C3[T8]
stores the data in a temporary register. If D register is
written first, and then the new data on data bus is stored in
D, the temporary value written by the last write to C3[T8]
gets stored in the C3[T8] register.

INIT is set and an invalid initial character is detected. A NACK is generated only if TTYPE = 0. If ANACK is
set, the UART attempts to retransmit the data indefinitely. To stop retransmission attempts, clear C2[TE]
or ISO_7816E and do not set until S1[TC] sets C2[TE] again.

INIT

No NACK is automatically generated.
A NACK is automatically generated if a parity error is detected or if an invalid initial character is
detected.

Detect Initial Character
When this field is set, all received characters are searched for a valid initial character. If an invalid initial
character is identified, and ANACK is set, a NACK is sent. All received data is discarded and error flags
blocked (S1[NF], S1[OR], S1[FE], S1[PF], IS7816[WT], IS7816[CWT], IS7816[BWT], IS7816[GTV]) until a
valid initial character is detected. Upon detecting a valid initial character, the configuration values
S2[MSBF], C3[TXINV], and S2[RXINV] are automatically updated to reflect the initial character that was
received. The actual INIT data value is not stored in the receive buffer. Additionally, upon detection of a
valid initial character, IS7816[INITD] is set and an interrupt issued as programmed by IE7816[INITDE].
When a valid initial character is detected, INIT is automatically cleared. This Initial Character Detect
feature is supported only in T = 0 protocol mode.

52.3.25 UART 7816 Interrupt Status Register (UARTx_IS7816)
The IS7816 register provides a mechanism to read and clear the interrupt flags. All flags/
interrupts are cleared by writing a 1 to the field location. Writing a 0 has no effect. All
bits are "sticky", meaning they indicate that only the flag condition that occurred since
the last time the bit was cleared, not that the condition currently exists. The status flags
are set regardless of whether the corresponding field in the IE7816 is set or cleared. The
IE7816 controls only if an interrupt is issued to the host processor. This register is
specific to 7816 functionality and the values in this register have no affect on UART
operation and should be ignored if 7816E is not set/enabled. This register may be read or
written at anytime.

52.4 Functional description
This section provides a complete functional description of the UART block.
The UART allows full duplex, asynchronous, NRZ serial communication between the
CPU and remote devices, including other CPUs. The UART transmitter and receiver
operate independently, although they use the same baud rate generator. The CPU
monitors the status of the UART, writes the data to be transmitted, and processes
received data.

Functional description

52.4.1.1 Transmitter character length
The UART transmitter can accommodate either 8, 9, or 10-bit data characters. The state
of the C1[M] and C1[PE] bits and the C4[M10] bit determine the length of data
characters. When transmitting 9-bit data, bit C3[T8] is the ninth bit (bit 8).

52.4.1.2 Transmission bit order
When S2[MSBF] is set, the UART automatically transmits the MSB of the data word as
the first bit after the start bit. Similarly, the LSB of the data word is transmitted
immediately preceding the parity bit, or the stop bit if parity is not enabled. All necessary
bit ordering is handled automatically by the module. Therefore, the format of the data
written to D for transmission is completely independent of the S2[MSBF] setting.

52.4.1.3 Character transmission
To transmit data, the MCU writes the data bits to the UART transmit buffer using UART
data registers C3[T8] and D. Data in the transmit buffer is then transferred to the
transmitter shift register as needed. The transmit shift register then shifts a frame out
through the transmit data output signal after it has prefaced it with any required start and
stop bits. The UART data registers, C3[T8] and D, provide access to the transmit buffer
structure.
The UART also sets a flag, the transmit data register empty flag S1[TDRE], and
generates an interrupt or DMA request (C5[TDMAS]) whenever the number of
datawords in the transmit buffer is equal to or less than the value indicated by
TWFIFO[TXWATER]. The transmit driver routine may respond to this flag by writing
additional datawords to the transmit buffer using C3[T8]/D as space permits.
See Application information for specific programing sequences.
Setting C2[TE] automatically loads the transmit shift register with the following
preamble:

After the preamble shifts out, control logic transfers the data from the D register into the
transmit shift register. The transmitter automatically transmits the correct start bit and
stop bit before and after the dataword. The number of stop bits transmitted after the
dataword can be programmed using BDH[SBNS] field.
When C7816[ISO_7816E] = 1, setting C2[TE] does not result in a preamble being
generated. The transmitter starts transmitting as soon as the corresponding guard time
expires. When C7816[TTYPE] = 0, the value in GT is used. When C7816[TTYPE] = 1,
the value in BGT is used, because C2[TE] will remain asserted until the end of the block
transfer. C2[TE] is automatically cleared when C7816[TTYPE] = 1 and the block being
transmitted has completed. When C7816[TTYPE] = 0, the transmitter listens for a NACK
indication. If no NACK is received, it is assumed that the character was correctly
received. If a NACK is received, the transmitter resends the data, assuming that the
number of retries for that character, that is, the number of NACKs received, is less than
or equal to the value in ET7816[TXTHRESHOLD].
Hardware supports odd or even parity. When parity is enabled, the bit immediately
preceding the stop bit is the parity bit.
When the transmit shift register is not transmitting a frame, the transmit data output
signal goes to the idle condition, logic 1. If at any time software clears C2[TE], the
transmitter enable signal goes low and the transmit signal goes idle.
If the software clears C2[TE] while a transmission is in progress, the character in the
transmit shift register continues to shift out, provided S1[TC] was cleared during the data
write sequence. To clear S1[TC], the S1 register must be read followed by a write to D
register. If the TC DMA interface is used for data transfer, S1[TC] is cleared
automatically when the DMA finishes transferring the requested data. A read of the S1
register is not required to clear it.
If S1[TC] is cleared during character transmission and C2[TE] is cleared, the
transmission enable signal is deasserted at the completion of the current frame. Following
this, the transmit data out signal enters the idle state even if there is data pending in the
UART transmit data buffer. To ensure that all the data written in the FIFO is transmitted
on the link before clearing C2[TE], wait for S1[TC] to set. Alternatively, the same can be
achieved by setting TWFIFO[TXWATER] to 0x0 and waiting for S1[TDRE] to set.

52.4.1.4 Transmitting break characters
Setting C2[SBK] loads the transmit shift register with a break character. A break
character contains all logic 0s and has no start, stop, or parity bit. Break character length
depends on C1[M], C1[PE], S2[BRK13], BDH[SBNS] and C4[M10]. See the following

As long as C2[SBK] is set, the transmitter logic continuously loads break characters into
the transmit shift register. After the software clears C2[SBK], the shift register finishes
transmitting the last break character and then transmits at least one logic 1. The automatic
logic 1 at the end of a break character guarantees the recognition of the start bit of the
next character. Break bits are not supported when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled.
NOTE
When queuing a break character, it will be transmitted
following the completion of the data value currently being
shifted out from the shift register. This means that, if data is
queued in the data buffer to be transmitted, the break character
preempts that queued data. The queued data is then transmitted
after the break character is complete.

52.4.1.5 Idle characters
An idle character contains all logic 1s and has no start, stop, or parity bit. Idle character
length depends on C1[M], C1[PE], BDH[SBNS] and C4[M10]. The preamble is a
synchronizing idle character that begins the first transmission initiated after setting
C2[TE]. When C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled, idle characters are not sent or detected.
When data is not being transmitted, the data I/O line is in an inactive state.
If C2[TE] is cleared during a transmission, the transmit data output signal becomes idle
after completion of the transmission in progress. Clearing and then setting C2[TE] during
a transmission queues an idle character to be sent after the dataword currently being
transmitted.
Note
When queuing an idle character, the idle character will be
transmitted following the completion of the data value currently
being shifted out from the shift register. This means that if data
is queued in the data buffer to be transmitted, the idle character
preempts that queued data. The queued data is then transmitted
after the idle character is complete.
If C2[TE] is cleared and the transmission is completed, the
UART is not the master of the TXD pin.

52.4.1.6 Hardware flow control
The transmitter supports hardware flow control by gating the transmission with the value
of CTS. If the clear-to-send operation is enabled, the character is transmitted when CTS
is asserted. If CTS is deasserted in the middle of a transmission with characters remaining
in the receiver data buffer, the character in the shift register is sent and TXD remains in
the mark state until CTS is reasserted.
If the clear-to-send operation is disabled, the transmitter ignores the state of CTS. Also, if
the transmitter is forced to send a continuous low condition because it is sending a break
character, the transmitter ignores the state of CTS regardless of whether the clear-to-send
operation is enabled.
The transmitter's CTS signal can also be enabled even if the same UART receiver's RTS
signal is disabled.

52.4.1.7 Transceiver driver enable
The transmitter can use RTS as an enable signal for the driver of an external transceiver.
See Transceiver driver enable using RTS for details. If the request-to-send operation is
enabled, when a character is placed into an empty transmitter data buffer, RTS asserts
one bit time before the start bit is transmitted. RTS remains asserted for the whole time
that the transmitter data buffer has any characters. RTS deasserts one bit time after all
characters in the transmitter data buffer and shift register are completely sent, including
the last stop bit. Transmitting a break character also asserts RTS, with the same assertion
and deassertion timing as having a character in the transmitter data buffer.
The transmitter's RTS signal asserts only when the transmitter is enabled. However, the
transmitter's RTS signal is unaffected by its CTS signal. RTS will remain asserted until
the transfer is completed, even if the transmitter is disabled mid-way through a data
transfer.
The following figure shows the functional timing information for the transmitter. Along
with the actual character itself, TXD shows the start bit. The stop bit is also indicated,
with a dashed line if necessary.

52.4.2.1 Receiver character length
The UART receiver can accommodate 8-, 9-, or 10-bit data characters. The states of
C1[M], C1[PE], BDH[SBNS] and C4[M10] determine the length of data characters.
When receiving 9 or 10-bit data, C3[R8] is the ninth bit (bit 8).

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1579

Functional description

52.4.2.2 Receiver bit ordering
When S2[MSBF] is set, the receiver operates such that the first bit received after the start
bit is the MSB of the dataword. Similarly, the bit received immediately preceding the
parity bit, or the stop bit if parity is not enabled, is treated as the LSB for the dataword.
All necessary bit ordering is handled automatically by the module. Therefore, the format
of the data read from receive data buffer is completely independent of S2[MSBF].

52.4.2.3 Character reception
During UART reception, the receive shift register shifts a frame in from the
unsynchronized receiver input signal. After a complete frame shifts into the receive shift
register, the data portion of the frame transfers to the UART receive buffer. Additionally,
the noise and parity error flags that are calculated during the receive process are also
captured in the UART receive buffer. The receive data buffer is accessible via the D and
C3[T8] registers. Additional received information flags regarding the receive dataword
can be read in ED register. S1[RDRF] is set if the number of resulting datawords in the
receive buffer is equal to or greater than the number indicated by RWFIFO[RXWATER].
If the C2[RIE] is also set, RDRF generates an RDRF interrupt request. Alternatively, by
programming C5[RDMAS], a DMA request can be generated.
When C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled and C7816[TTYPE] = 0, character reception
operates slightly differently. Upon receipt of the parity bit, the validity of the parity bit is
checked. If C7816[ANACK] is set and the parity check fails, or if INIT and the received
character is not a valid initial character, then a NACK is sent by the receiver. If the
number of consecutive receive errors exceeds the threshold set by
ET7816[RXTHRESHOLD], then IS7816[RXT] is set and an interrupt generated if
IE7816[RXTE] is set. If an error is detected due to parity or an invalid initial character,
the data is not transferred from the receive shift register to the receive buffer. Instead, the
data is overwritten by the next incoming data.
When the C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled, C7816[ONACK] is set/enabled, and the
received character results in the receive buffer overflowing, a NACK is issued by the
receiver. Additionally, S1[OR] is set and an interrupt is issued if required, and the data in
the shift register is discarded.

52.4.2.4 Data sampling
The receiver samples the unsynchronized receiver input signal at the RT clock rate. The
RT clock is an internal signal with a frequency 16 times the baud rate. To adjust for baud
rate mismatch, the RT clock (see the following figure) is re-synchronized:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1580

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

• After every start bit.
• After the receiver detects a data bit change from logic 1 to logic 0 (after the majority
of data bit samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10 returns a valid logic 1 and the majority of
the next RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples returns a valid logic 0).
To locate the start bit, data recovery logic does an asynchronous search for a logic 0
preceded by three logic 1s. When the falling edge of a possible start bit occurs, the RT
clock begins to count to 16.

Note
The RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples do not affect start bit
verification. If any or all of the RT8, RT9, and RT10 start bit
samples are logic 1s following a successful start bit verification,
the noise flag (S1[NF]) is set and the receiver assumes that the
bit is a start bit (logic 0). With the exception of when
C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled, where the values of RT8,
RT9 and RT10 exclusively determine if a start bit exists.
To verify a stop bit and to detect noise, recovery logic takes samples at RT8, RT9, and
RT10. The following table summarizes the results of the stop bit samples. In the event
that C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled and C7816[TTYPE] = 0, verification of a stop bit
does not take place. Rather, starting with RT8 the receiver transmits a NACK as
programmed until time RT9 of the following time period. Framing Error detection is not
supported when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled.

52.4.2.5 Framing errors
If the data recovery logic does not detect a logic 1 where the stop bit should be in an
incoming frame, it sets the framing error flag, S1[FE], if S2[LBKDE] is disabled. When
S2[LBKDE] is disabled, a break character also sets the S1[FE] because a break character
has no stop bit. S1[FE] is set at the same time that received data is placed in the receive
data buffer. Framing errors are not supported when C7816[ISO7816E] is set/enabled.
However, if S1[FE] is set, data will not be received when C7816[ISO7816E] is set.

Functional description

52.4.2.6 Receiving break characters
The UART recognizes a break character when a start bit is followed by eight, nine, or ten
logic 0 data bits and a logic 0 where the stop bit should be. Receiving a break character
has these effects on UART registers:
• Sets the framing error flag, S1[FE].
• Writes an all 0 dataword to the data buffer, which may cause S1[RDRF] to set,
depending on the watermark and number of values in the data buffer.
• May set the overrun flag, S1[OR], noise flag, S1[NF], parity error flag, S1[PE], or
the receiver active flag, S2[RAF].
The detection threshold for a break character can be adjusted when using an internal
oscillator in a LIN system by setting S2[LBKDE]. The UART break character detection
threshold depends on C1[M], C1[PE], S2[LBKDE] and C4[M10]. See the following
table.

While S2[LBKDE] is set, it will have these effects on the UART registers:
• Prevents S1[RDRF], S1[FE], S1[NF], and S1[PF] from being set. However, if they
are already set, they will remain set.
• Sets the LIN break detect interrupt flag, S2[LBKDIF], if a LIN break character is
received.
Break characters are not detected or supported when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled.

52.4.2.7 Hardware flow control
To support hardware flow control, the receiver can be programmed to automatically
deassert and assert RTS.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1586

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

• RTS remains asserted until the transfer is complete, even if the transmitter is disabled
midway through a data transfer. See Transceiver driver enable using RTS for more
details.
• If the receiver request-to-send functionality is enabled, the receiver automatically
deasserts RTS if the number of characters in the receiver data register is equal to or
greater than receiver data buffer's watermark, RWFIFO[RXWATER].
• The receiver asserts RTS when the number of characters in the receiver data register
is less than the watermark. It is not affected if RDRF is asserted.
• Even if RTS is deasserted, the receiver continues to receive characters until the
receiver data buffer is full or is overrun.
• If the receiver request-to-send functionality is disabled, the receiver RTS remains
deasserted.
The following figure shows receiver hardware flow control functional timing. Along with
the actual character itself, RXD shows the start bit. The stop bit can also indicated, with a
dashed line, if necessary. The watermark is set to 2.

52.4.2.8 Infrared decoder
The infrared decoder converts the received character from the IrDA format to the NRZ
format used by the receiver. It also has a 16-RT clock counter that filters noise and
indicates when a 1 is received.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1587

Functional description

52.4.2.8.1

Start bit detection

When S2[RXINV] is cleared, the first rising edge of the received character corresponds
to the start bit. The infrared decoder resets its counter. At this time, the receiver also
begins its start bit detection process. After the start bit is detected, the receiver
synchronizes its bit times to this start bit time. For the rest of the character reception, the
infrared decoder's counter and the receiver's bit time counter count independently from
each other.
52.4.2.8.2

Noise filtering

Any further rising edges detected during the first half of the infrared decoder counter are
ignored by the decoder. Any pulses less than one RT clocks can be undetected by it
regardless of whether it is seen in the first or second half of the count.
52.4.2.8.3

Low-bit detection

During the second half of the decoder count, a rising edge is decoded as a 0, which is sent
to the receiver. The decoder counter is also reset.
52.4.2.8.4

High-bit detection

At 16-RT clocks after the previous rising edge, if a rising edge is not seen, then the
decoder sends a 1 to the receiver.
If the next bit is a 0, which arrives late, then a low-bit is detected according to Low-bit
detection. The value sent to the receiver is changed from 1 to a 0. Then, if a noise pulse
occurs outside the receiver's bit time sampling period, then the delay of a 0 is not
recorded as noise.

52.4.2.9 Baud rate tolerance
A transmitting device may be operating at a baud rate below or above the receiver baud
rate. Accumulated bit time misalignment can cause one of the three stop bit data samples
(RT8, RT9, and RT10) to fall outside the actual stop bit. A noise error will occur if the
RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples are not all the same logical values. A framing error will
occur if the receiver clock is misaligned in such a way that the majority of the RT8, RT9,
and RT10 stop bit samples are a logic 0.
As the receiver samples an incoming frame, it resynchronizes the RT clock on any valid
falling edge within the frame. Resynchronization within frames corrects a misalignment
between transmitter bit times and receiver bit times.

Figure 52-229. Slow data

For an 8-bit data character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver 154 RT cycles
(9 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 10 RT cycles).
With the misaligned character shown in the Figure 52-229, the receiver counts 154 RT
cycles at the point when the count of the transmitting device is 147 RT cycles (9 bit times
× 16 RT cycles + 3 RT cycles).
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of
a slow 8-bit data character with no errors is:
((154 − 147) ÷ 154) × 100 = 4.54%
For a 9-bit data character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver 170 RT cycles
(10 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 10 RT cycles).
With the misaligned character shown in the Figure 52-229, the receiver counts 170 RT
cycles at the point when the count of the transmitting device is 163 RT cycles (10 bit
times × 16 RT cycles + 3 RT cycles).
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of
a slow 9-bit character with no errors is:

Figure 52-230. Fast data

For an 8-bit data character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver 154 RT cycles
(9 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 10 RT cycles).
With the misaligned character shown in the Figure 52-230, the receiver counts 154 RT
cycles at the point when the count of the transmitting device is 160 RT cycles (10 bit
times × 16 RT cycles).
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of
a fast 8-bit character with no errors is:
((154 − 160) ÷ 154) × 100 = 3.90%
For a 9-bit data character, data sampling of the stop bit takes the receiver 170 RT cycles
(10 bit times × 16 RT cycles + 10 RT cycles).
With the misaligned character shown in the Figure 52-230, the receiver counts 170 RT
cycles at the point when the count of the transmitting device is 176 RT cycles (11 bit
times × 16 RT cycles).
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of
a fast 9-bit character with no errors is:
((170 − 176) ÷ 170) × 100 = 3.53%

52.4.2.10 Receiver wakeup
C1[WAKE] determines how the UART is brought out of the standby state to process an
incoming message. C1[WAKE] enables either idle line wakeup or address mark wakeup.
Receiver wakeup is not supported when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled because
multi-receiver systems are not allowed.
52.4.2.10.1

Idle input line wakeup (C1[WAKE] = 0)

In this wakeup method, an idle condition on the unsynchronized receiver input signal
clears C2[RWU] and wakes the UART. The initial frame or frames of every message
contain addressing information. All receivers evaluate the addressing information, and
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

receivers for which the message is addressed process the frames that follow. Any receiver
for which a message is not addressed can set its C2[RWU] and return to the standby state.
C2[RWU] remains set and the receiver remains in standby until another idle character
appears on the unsynchronized receiver input signal.
Idle line wakeup requires that messages be separated by at least one idle character and
that no message contains idle characters.
When C2[RWU] is 1 and S2[RWUID] is 0, the idle character that wakes the receiver
does not set S1[IDLE] or the receive data register full flag, S1[RDRF]. The receiver
wakes and waits for the first data character of the next message which is stored in the
receive data buffer. When S2[RWUID] and C2[RWU] are set and C1[WAKE] is cleared,
any idle condition sets S1[IDLE] and generates an interrupt if enabled.
Idle input line wakeup is not supported when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled.
52.4.2.10.2

Address mark wakeup (C1[WAKE] = 1)

In this wakeup method, a logic 1 in the bit position immediately preceding the stop bit of
a frame clears C2[RWU] and wakes the UART. A logic 1 in the bit position immediately
preceeding the stop bit marks a frame as an address frame that contains addressing
information. All receivers evaluate the addressing information, and the receivers for
which the message is addressed process the frames that follow. Any receiver for which a
message is not addressed can set its C2[RWU] and return to the standby state. C2[RWU]
remains set and the receiver remains in standby until another address frame appears on
the unsynchronized receiver input signal.
A logic 1 in the bit position immediately preceding the stop bit clears the receiver's
C2[RWU] after the stop bit is received and places the received data into the receiver data
buffer. Note that if Match Address operation is enabled i.e. C4[MAEN1] or C4[MAEN2]
is set, then received frame is transferred to receive buffer only if the comparison matches.
Address mark wakeup allows messages to contain idle characters but requires that the bit
position immediately preceding the stop bit be reserved for use in address frames.
If module is in standby mode and nothing triggers to wake the UART, no error flag is set
even if an invalid error condition is detected on the receiving data line.
Address mark wakeup is not supported when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled.
52.4.2.10.3

Match address operation

Match address operation is enabled when C4[MAEN1] or C4[MAEN2] is set. In this
function, a frame received by the RX pin with a logic 1 in the bit position of the address
mark is considered an address and is compared with the associated MA1 or MA2 register.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1591

Functional description

The frame is transferred to the receive buffer, and S1[RDRF] is set, only if the
comparison matches. All subsequent frames received with a logic 0 in the bit position of
the address mark are considered to be data associated with the address and are transferred
to the receive data buffer. If no marked address match occurs, then no transfer is made to
the receive data buffer, and all following frames with logic 0 in the bit position of the
address mark are also discarded. If both C4[MAEN1] and C4[MAEN2] are negated, the
receiver operates normally and all data received is transferred to the receive data buffer.
Match address operation functions in the same way for both MA1 and MA2 registers.
Note that the position of the address mark is the same as the Parity Bit when parity is
enabled for 8 bit and 9 bit data formats.
• If only one of C4[MAEN1] and C4[MAEN2] is asserted, a marked address is
compared only with the associated match register and data is transferred to the
receive data buffer only on a match.
• If C4[MAEN1] and C4[MAEN2] are asserted, a marked address is compared with
both match registers and data is transferred only on a match with either register.
Address match operation is not supported when C7816[ISO_7816E] is set/enabled.

52.4.3 Baud rate generation
A 13-bit modulus counter and a 5-bit fractional fine-adjust counter in the baud rate
generator derive the baud rate for both the receiver and the transmitter. The value from 1
to 8191 written to SBR[12:0] determines the module clock divisor. The SBR bits are in
the UART baud rate registers, BDH and BDL. The baud rate clock is synchronized with
the module clock and drives the receiver. The fractional fine-adjust counter adds
fractional delays to the baud rate clock to allow fine trimming of the baud rate to match
the system baud rate. The transmitter is driven by the baud rate clock divided by 16. The
receiver has an acquisition rate of 16 samples per bit time.
Baud rate generation is subject to two sources of error:
• Integer division of the module clock may not give the exact target frequency. This
error can be reduced with the fine-adjust counter.
• Synchronization with the module clock can cause phase shift.
The Table 52-233 lists the available baud divisor fine adjust values.
UART baud rate = UART module clock / (16 × (SBR[12:0] + BRFD))

52.4.4 Data format (non ISO-7816)
Each data character is contained in a frame that includes a start bit and a stop bit. The rest
of the data format depends upon C1[M], C1[PE], S2[MSBF], BDH[SBNS] and C4[M10].

52.4.4.1 Eight-bit configuration
Clearing C1[M] configures the UART for 8-bit data characters, that is, eight bits are
memory mapped in D. A frame with eight data bits has a total of 10 bits (This becomes
11 bits if BDH[SBNS] = 1). The most significant bit of the eight data bits can be used as
an address mark to wake the receiver. If the most significant bit is used in this way, then
it serves as an address or data indication, leaving the remaining seven bits as actual data.
When C1[PE] is set, the eighth data bit is automatically calculated as the parity bit. See
the following table.

NOTE
In the last column of the above table, the number of stop bits
become 2 when BDH[SBNS] is set.

52.4.4.2 Nine-bit configuration
When C1[M] is set and C4[M10] is cleared and BDH[SBNS] is cleared, the UART is
configured for 9-bit data characters. If C1[PE] is enabled, the ninth bit is either C3[T8/
R8] or the internally generated parity bit. This results in a frame consisting of a total of
11 bits. In the event that the ninth data bit is selected to be C3[T8], it will remain
unchanged after transmission and can be used repeatedly without rewriting it, unless the
value needs to be changed. This feature may be useful when the ninth data bit is being
used as an address mark.
When C1[M] and C4[M10] are set and BDH[SBNS] is cleared, the UART is configured
for 9-bit data characters, but the frame consists of a total of 12 bits. The 12 bits include
the start and stop bits, the 9 data character bits, and a tenth internal data bit. Note that if
C4[M10] is set, C1[PE] must also be set. In this case, the tenth bit is the internally
generated parity bit. The ninth bit can either be used as an address mark or a ninth data
bit.

C7816[ISO_7816EN] is set, it is not required that both C2[TE] and C2[RE] are set.

52.4.7 ISO-7816/smartcard support
The UART provides mechanisms to support the ISO-7816 protocol that is commonly
used to interface with smartcards. The ISO-7816 protocol is an NRZ, single wire, halfduplex interface. The TxD pin is used in open-drain mode because the data signal is used
for both transmitting and receiving. There are multiple subprotocols within the ISO-7816
standard. The UART supports both T = 0 and T = 1 protocols. The module also provides
for automated initial character detection and configuration, which allows for support of
both direct convention and inverse convention data formats. A variety of interrupts
specific to 7816 are provided in addition to the general interrupts to assist software.
Additionally, the module is able to provide automated NACK responses and has
programmed automated retransmission of failed packets. An assortment of programmable
timeouts and guard band times are also supported.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1598

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

The term elemental time unit (ETU) is frequently used in the context of ISO-7816. This
concept is used to relate the frequency that the system (UART) is running at and the
frequency that data is being transmitted and received. One ETU represents the time it
takes to transmit or receive a single bit. For example, a standard 7816 packet, excluding
any guard time or NACK elements is 10 ETUs (start bit, 8 data bits, and a parity bit).
Guard times and wait times are also measured in ETUs.,
NOTE
The ISO-7816 specification may have certain configuration
options that are reserved. To maintain maximum flexibility to
support future 7816 enhancements or devices that may not
strictly conform to the specification, the UART does not
prevent those options being used. Further, the UART may
provide configuration options that exceed the flexibility of
options explicitly allowed by the 7816 specification. Failure to
correctly configure the UART may result in unexpected
behavior or incompatibility with the ISO-7816 specification.

52.4.7.1 Initial characters
In ISO-7816 with T = 0 mode, the UART can be configured to use C7816[INIT] to detect
the next valid initial character, referred to by the ISO-7816 specifically as a TS character.
When the initial character is detected, the UART provides the host processor with an
interrupt if IE7816[INITDE] is set. Additionally, the UART will alter S2[MSBF],
C3[TXINV], and S2[RXINV] automatically, based on the initial character. The
corresponding initial character and resulting register settings are listed in the following
table.

S2[MSBF], C3[TXINV], and S2[RXINV] must be reset to their default values before
C7816[INIT] is set. Once C7816[INIT] is set, the receiver searches all received data for
the first valid initial character. Detecting a Direct Convention Initial Character will cause
no change to S2[MSBF], C3[TXINV], and S2[RXINV], while detecting an Inverse
Convention Initial Character will cause these fields to set automatically. All data

received, which is not a valid initial character, is ignored and all flags resulting from the
invalid data are blocked from asserting. If C7816[ANACK] is set, a NACK is returned
for invalid received initial characters and an RXT interrupt is generated as programmed.

52.4.7.2 Protocol T = 0
When T = 0 protocol is selected, a relatively complex error detection scheme is used.
Data characters are formatted as illustrated in the following figure. This scheme is also
used for answer to reset and Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) formats.

Figure 52-243. ISO-7816 T = 0 data format

As with other protocols supported by the UART, the data character includes a start bit.
However, in this case, there are two stop bits rather than the typical single stop bit. In
addition to a standard even parity check, the receiver has the ability to generate and return
a NACK during the second half of the first stop bit period. The NACK must be at least
one time period (ETU) in length and no more than two time periods (ETU) in length. The
transmitter must wait for at least two time units (ETU) after detection of the error signal
before attempting to retransmit the character.
It is assumed that the UART and the device (smartcard) know in advance which device is
receiving and which is transmitting. No special mechanism is supplied by the UART to
control receive and transmit in the mode other than C2[TE] and C2[RE]. Initial Character
Detect feature is also supported in this mode.

52.4.7.3 Protocol T = 1
When T = 1 protocol is selected, the NACK error detection scheme is not used. Rather,
the parity bit is used on a character basis and a CRC or LRC is used on the block basis,
that is, for each group of characters. In this mode, the data format allows for a single stop
bit although additional inactive bit periods may be present between the stop bit and the
next start bit. Data characters are formatted as illustrated in the following figure.

The smallest data unit that is transferred is a block. A block is made up of several data
characters and may vary in size depending on the block type. The UART does not
provide a mechanism to decode the block type. As part of the block, an LRC or CRC is
included. The UART does not calculate the CRC or LRC for transmitted blocks, nor does
it verify the validity of the CRC or LRC for received blocks. The 7816 protocol requires
that the initiator and the smartcard (device) takes alternate turns in transmitting and
receiving blocks. When the UART detects that the last character in a block has been
transmitted it will automatically clear C2[TE], C3[TXDIR] and enter receive mode.
Therefore, the software must program the transmit buffer with the next data to be
transmitted and then enable C2[TE] and set C3[TXDIR], once the software has
determined that the last character of the received block has been received. The UART
detects that the last character of the transmit block has been sent when TL7816[TLEN] =
0 and four additional characters have been sent. The four additional characters are made
up of three prior to TL7816[TLEN] decrementing (prologue) and one after
TL7816[TLEN] = 0, the final character of the epilogue.

52.4.7.4 Wait time and guard time parameters
The ISO-7816 specification defines several wait time and guard time parameters. The
UART allows for flexible configuration and violation detection of these settings. On
reset, the wait time (IS7816[WT]) defaults to 9600 ETUs and guard time (GT) to 12
ETUs. These values are controlled by parameters in the WP7816, WN7816, and WF7816
registers. Additionally, the value of C7816[TTYPE] also factors into the calculation. The
formulae used to calculate the number ETUs for each wait time and guard time value are
shown in Table 52-238.
Wait time (WT) is defined as the maximum allowable time between the leading edge of a
character transmitted by the smartcard device and the leading edge of the previous
character that was transmitted by the UART or the device. Similarly, character wait time
(CWT) is defined as the maximum allowable time between the leading edge of two
characters within the same block. Block wait time (BWT) is defined as the maximum
time between the leading edge character of the last block received by the smartcard
device and the leading edge of the first character transmitted by the smartcard device.
Guard time (GT) is defined as the minimum allowable time between the leading edge of
two consecutive characters. Character guard time (CGT) is the minimum allowable time
between the leading edges of two consecutive characters in the same direction, that is,

Functional description

transmission or reception. Block guard time (BGT) is the minimum allowable time
between the leading edges of two consecutive characters in opposite directions, that is,
transmission then reception or reception then transmission.
The GT and WT counters reset whenever C7816[TTYPE] = 1 or C7816[ISO_7816E] = 0
or a new dataword start bit has been received or transmitted as specified by the counter
descriptions. The CWT, CGT, BWT, BGT counters reset whenever C7816[TTYPE] = 0
or C7816[ISO_7816E] = 0 or a new dataword start bit is received or transmitted as
specified by the counter descriptions. When C7816[TTYPE] = 1, some of the counter
values require an assumption regarding the first data transferred when the UART first
starts. This assumption is required when the 7816E is disabled, when transition from
C7816[TTYPE] = 0 to C7816[TTYPE] = 1 or when coming out of reset. In this case, it is
assumed that the previous non-existent transfer was a received transfer.
The UART will automatically handle GT, CGT, and BGT such that the UART will not
send a packet before the corresponding guard time expiring.

52.4.7.5 Baud rate generation
The value in WF7816[GTFD] does not impact the clock frequency. SBR and BRFD are
used to generate the clock frequency. This clock frequency is used by the UART only and
is not seen by the smartcard device. The transmitter clocks operates at 1/16 the frequency
of the receive clock so that the receiver is able to sample the received value 16 times
during the ETU.

52.4.7.6 UART restrictions in ISO-7816 operation
Due to the flexibility of the UART module, there are several features and interrupts that
are not supported while running in ISO-7816 mode. These restrictions are documented
within the register field definitions.

52.4.8 Infrared interface
The UART provides the capability of transmitting narrow pulses to an IR LED and
receiving narrow pulses and transforming them to serial bits, which are sent to the
UART. The IrDA physical layer specification defines a half-duplex infrared
communication link for exchanging data. The full standard includes data rates up to 16
Mbits/s. This design covers data rates only between 2.4 kbits/s and 115.2 kbits/s.
The UART has an infrared transmit encoder and receive decoder. The UART transmits
serial bits of data that are encoded by the infrared submodule to transmit a narrow pulse
for every zero bit. No pulse is transmitted for every one bit. When receiving data, the IR
pulses are detected using an IR photo diode and transformed to CMOS levels by the IR
receive decoder, external from the MCU. The narrow pulses are then stretched by the
infrared receive decoder to get back to a serial bit stream to be received by the UART.
The polarity of transmitted pulses and expected receive pulses can be inverted so that a
direct connection can be made to external IrDA transceiver modules that use active low
pulses.
The infrared submodule receives its clock sources from the UART. One of these two
clocks are selected in the infrared submodule to generate either 3/16, 1/16, 1/32, or 1/4
narrow pulses during transmission.

52.4.8.1 Infrared transmit encoder
The infrared transmit encoder converts serial bits of data from transmit shift register to
the TXD signal. A narrow pulse is transmitted for a zero bit and no pulse for a one bit.
The narrow pulse is sent in the middle of the bit with a duration of 1/32, 1/16, 3/16, or 1/4
of a bit time. A narrow high pulse is transmitted for a zero bit when C3[TXINV] is
cleared, while a narrow low pulse is transmitted for a zero bit when C3[TXINV] is set.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1603

Reset

52.4.8.2 Infrared receive decoder
The infrared receive block converts data from the RXD signal to the receive shift register.
A narrow pulse is expected for each zero received and no pulse is expected for each one
received. A narrow high pulse is expected for a zero bit when S2[RXINV] is cleared,
while a narrow low pulse is expected for a zero bit when S2[RXINV] is set. This receive
decoder meets the edge jitter requirement as defined by the IrDA serial infrared physical
layer specification.

52.5 Reset
All registers reset to a particular value are indicated in Memory map and registers.

52.6 System level interrupt sources
There are several interrupt signals that are sent from the UART. The following table lists
the interrupt sources generated by the UART. The local enables for the UART interrupt
sources are described in this table. Details regarding the individual operation of each
interrupt are contained under various sub-sections of Memory map and registers.
However, RXEDGIF description also outlines additional details regarding the RXEDGIF
interrupt because of its complexity of operation. Any of the UART interrupt requests
listed in the table can be used to bring the CPU out of Wait mode.

52.6.1 RXEDGIF description
S2[RXEDGIF] is set when an active edge is detected on the RxD pin. Therefore, the
active edge can be detected only when in two wire mode. A RXEDGIF interrupt is
generated only when S2[RXEDGIF] is set. If RXEDGIE is not enabled before
S2[RXEDGIF] is set, an interrupt is not generated until S2[RXEDGIF] is set.

52.6.1.1 RxD edge detect sensitivity
Edge sensitivity can be software programmed to be either falling or rising. The polarity
of the edge sensitivity is selected using S2[RXINV]. To detect the falling edge,
S2[RXINV] is programmed to 0. To detect the rising edge, S2[RXINV] is programmed
to 1.
Synchronizing logic is used prior to detect edges. Prior to detecting an edge, the receive
data on RxD input must be at the deasserted logic level. A falling edge is detected when
the RxD input signal is seen as a logic 1 (the deasserted level) during one module clock
cycle, and then a logic 0 (the asserted level) during the next cycle. A rising edge is
detected when the input is seen as a logic 0 during one module clock cycle and then a
logic 1 during the next cycle.

52.6.1.2 Clearing RXEDGIF interrupt request
Writing a logic 1 to S2[RXEDGIF] immediately clears the RXEDGIF interrupt request
even if the RxD input remains asserted. S2[RXEDGIF] remains set if another active edge
is detected on RxD while attempting to clear S2[RXEDGIF] by writing a 1 to it.

DMA operation

52.6.1.3 Exit from low-power modes
The receive input active edge detect circuit is still active on low power modes (Wait and
Stop). An active edge on the receive input brings the CPU out of low power mode if the
interrupt is not masked (S2[RXEDGIF] = 1).

52.7 DMA operation
In the transmitter, S1[TDRE] and S1[TC] can be configured to assert a DMA transfer
request. In the receiver, S1[RDRF], S1[IDLE], and S2[LBKDIF] can be configured to
assert a DMA transfer request. The following table shows the configuration field settings
required to configure each flag for DMA operation.

When a flag is configured for a DMA request, its associated DMA request is asserted
when the flag is set. When S1[RDRF] is configured as a DMA request, the clearing
mechanism of reading S1, followed by reading D, does not clear the associated flag. The
DMA request remains asserted until an indication is received that the DMA transactions
are done. When this indication is received, the flag bit and the associated DMA request is
cleared. If the DMA operation failed to remove the situation that caused the DMA
request, another request is issued.

52.8 Application information
This section describes the UART application information.

52.8.1 Transmit/receive data buffer operation
The UART has independent receive and transmit buffers. The size of these buffers may
vary depending on the implementation of the module. The implemented size of the
buffers is a fixed constant via PFIFO[TXFIFOSIZE] and PFIFO[RXFIFOSIZE].
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1606

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

Additionally, legacy support is provided that allows for the FIFO structure to operate as a
depth of one. This is the default/reset behavior of the module and can be adjusted using
the PFIFO[RXFE] and PFIFO[TXFE] bits. Individual watermark levels are also provided
for transmit and receive.
There are multiple ways to ensure that a data block, which is a set of characters, has
completed transmission. These methods include:
1. Set TXFIFO[TXWATER] to 0. TDRE asserts when there is no further data in the
transmit buffer. Alternatively the S1[TC] flag can be used to indicate when the
transmit shift register is also empty.
2. Poll TCFIFO[TXCOUNT]. Assuming that only data for a data block has been put
into the data buffer, when TCFIFO[TXCOUNT] = 0, all data has been transmitted or
is in the process of transmission.
3. S1[TC] can be monitored. When S1[TC] asserts, it indicates that all data has been
transmitted and there is no data currently being transmitted in the shift register.

52.8.2 ISO-7816 initialization sequence
This section outlines how to program the UART for ISO-7816 operation. Elements such
as procedures to power up or power down the smartcard, and when to take those actions,
are beyond the scope of this description. To set up the UART for ISO-7816 operation:
1. Select a baud rate. Write this value to the UART baud registers (BDH/L) to begin the
baud rate generator. Remember that the baud rate generator is disabled when the
baud rate is zero. Writing to the BDH has no effect without also writing to BDL.
According to the 7816 specification the initial (default) baud rating setting should be
Fi = 372 and Di = 1 and a maximum frequency of 5 MHz. In other words, the BDH,
BDL, and C4 registers should be programmed such that the transmission frequency
provided to the smartcard device must be 1/372th of the clock and must not exceed 5
MHz.
2. Write to set BDH[LBKDIE] = 0.
3. Write to C1 to configure word length, parity, and other configuration fields (LOOPS,
RSRC) and set C1[M] = 1, C1[PE] = 1, and C1[PT] = 0.
4. Write to set S2[RWUID] = 0 and S2[LBKDE] = 0.
5. Write to set MODEM[RXRTSE] = 0, MODEM[TXRTSPOL] = 0,
MODEM[TXRTSE] = 0, and MODEM[TXCTSE] = 0.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014

1607

Application information

6. Write to set up interrupt enable fields desired (C3[ORIE], C3[NEIE], C3[PEIE], and
C3[FEIE])
7. Write to set C4[MAEN1] = 0 and C4[MAEN2] = 0.
8. Write to C5 register and configure DMA control register fields as desired for
application.
9. Write to set C7816[INIT] = 1,C7816[ TTYPE] = 0, and C7816[ISO_7816E] = 1.
Program C7816[ONACK] and C7816[ANACK] as desired.
10. Write to IE7816 to set interrupt enable parameters as desired.
11. Write to ET7816 and set as desired.
12. Write to set C2[ILIE] = 0, C2[RE] = 1, C2[TE] = 1, C2[RWU] = 0, and C2[SBK] =
0. Set up interrupt enables C2[TIE], C2[TCIE], and C2[RIE] as desired.
At this time, the UART will start listening for an initial character. After being identified,
it will automatically adjust S2[MSBF], C3[TXINV], and S2[RXINV]. The software must
then receive and process an answer to reset. Upon processing the answer to reset, the
software must write to set C2[RE] = 0 and C2[TE] = 0. The software should then adjust
7816 specific and UART generic parameters to match and configure data that was
received during the answer on reset period. After the new settings have been
programmed, including the new baud rate and C7816[TTYPE], C2[RE] and C2[TE] can
be reenabled as required.

52.8.2.1 Transmission procedure for (C7816[TTYPE] = 0)
When the protocol selected is C7816[TTYPE] = 0, it is assumed that the software has a
prior knowledge of who should be transmitting and receiving. Therefore, no mechanism
is provided for automated transmission/receipt control. The software must monitor
S1[TDRE], or configure for an interrupt, and provide additional data for transmission, as
appropriate. Additionally, software should set C2[TE] = 1 and control TXDIR whenever
it is the UART's turn to transmit information. For ease of monitoring, it is suggested that
only data be transmitted until the next receiver/transmit switchover is loaded into the
transmit FIFO/buffer.

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

52.8.2.2 Transmission procedure for (C7816[TTYPE] = 1)
When the protocol selected is C7816[TTYPE] = 1, data is transferred in blocks. Before
starting a transmission, the software must write the size, in number of bytes, for the
Information Field portion of the block into TLEN. If a CRC is being transmitted for the
block, the value in TLEN must be one more than the size of the information field. The
software must then set C2[TE] = 1 and C2[RE] = 1. The software must then monitor
S1[TDRE]/interrupt and write the prologue, information, and epilogue field to the
transmit buffer. TLEN automatically decrements, except for prologue bytes and the final
epilogue byte. When the final epilogue byte has been transmitted, the UART
automatically clears C2[TE] and C3[TXDIR] to 0, and the UART automatically starts
capturing the response to the block that was transmitted. After the software has detected
the receipt of the response, the transmission process must be repeated as needed with
sufficient urgency to ensure that the block wait time and character wait times are not
violated.

52.8.3 Initialization sequence (non ISO-7816)
To initiate a UART transmission:
1. Configure the UART.
a. Select a baud rate. Write this value to the UART baud registers (BDH/L) to
begin the baud rate generator. Remember that the baud rate generator is disabled
when the baud rate is zero. Writing to the BDH has no effect without also
writing to BDL.
b. Write to C1 to configure word length, parity, and other configuration bits
(LOOPS, RSRC, M, WAKE, ILT, PE, and PT). Write to C4, MA1, and MA2 to
configure.
c. Enable the transmitter, interrupts, receiver, and wakeup as required, by writing to
C2 (TIE, TCIE, RIE, ILIE, TE, RE, RWU, and SBK), S2 (MSBF and BRK13),
and C3 (ORIE, NEIE, PEIE, and FEIE). A preamble or idle character is then
shifted out of the transmitter shift register.
2. Transmit procedure for each byte.
a. Monitor S1[TDRE] by reading S1 or responding to the TDRE interrupt. The
amount of free space in the transmit buffer directly using TCFIFO[TXCOUNT]
can also be monitored.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1609

Application information

b. If the TDRE flag is set, or there is space in the transmit buffer, write the data to
be transmitted to (C3[T8]/D). A new transmission will not result until data exists
in the transmit buffer.
3. Repeat step 2 for each subsequent transmission.
Note
During normal operation, S1[TDRE] is set when the shift
register is loaded with the next data to be transmitted from the
transmit buffer and the number of datawords contained in the
transmit buffer is less than or equal to the value in
TWFIFO[TXWATER]. This occurs 9/16ths of a bit time after
the start of the stop bit of the previous frame.
To separate messages with preambles with minimum idle line time, use this sequence
between messages.
1. Write the last dataword of the first message to C3[T8]/D.
2. Wait for S1[TDRE] to go high with TWFIFO[TXWATER] = 0, indicating the
transfer of the last frame to the transmit shift register.
3. Queue a preamble by clearing and then setting C2[TE].
4. Write the first and subsequent datawords of the second message to C3[T8]/D.

52.8.4 Overrun (OR) flag implications
To be flexible, the overrun flag (OR) operates slight differently depending on the mode
of operation. There may be implications that need to be carefully considered. This section
clarifies the behavior and the resulting implications. Regardless of mode, if a dataword is
received while S1[OR] is set, S1[RDRF] and S1[IDLE] are blocked from asserting. If
S1[RDRF] or S1[IDLE] were previously asserted, they will remain asserted until cleared.

52.8.4.1 Overrun operation
The assertion of S1[OR] indicates that a significant event has occurred. The assertion
indicates that received data has been lost because there was a lack of room to store it in
the data buffer. Therefore, while S1[OR] is set, no further data is stored in the data buffer
until S1[OR] is cleared. This ensures that the application will be able to handle the
overrun condition.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1610

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 52 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

In most applications, because the total amount of lost data is known, the application will
attempt to return the system to a known state. Before S1[OR] is cleared, all received data
will be dropped. For this, the software does the following.
1. Remove data from the receive data buffer. This could be done by reading data from
the data buffer and processing it if the data in the FIFO was still valuable when the
overrun event occurred, or using CFIFO[RXFLUSH] to clear the buffer.
2. Clear S1[OR]. Note that if data was cleared using CFIFO[RXFLUSH], then clearing
S1[OR] will result in SFIFO[RXUF] asserting. This is because the only way to clear
S1[OR] requires reading additional information from the FIFO. Care should be taken
to disable the SFIFO[RXUF] interrupt prior to clearing the OR flag and then clearing
SFIFO[RXUF] after the OR flag has been cleared.
Note that, in some applications, if an overrun event is responded to fast enough, the lost
data can be recovered. For example, when C7816[ISO_7816E] is asserted,
C7816[TTYPE]=1 and C7816[ONACK] = 1, the application may reasonably be able to
determine whether the lost data will be resent by the device. In this scenario, flushing the
receiver data buffer may not be required. Rather, if S1[OR] is cleared, the lost data may
be resent and therefore may be recoverable.
When LIN break detect (LBKDE) is asserted, S1[OR] has significantly different behavior
than in other modes. S1[OR] will be set, regardless of how much space is actually
available in the data buffer, if a LIN break character has been detected and the
corresponding flag, S2[LBKDIF], is not cleared before the first data character is received
after S2[LBKDIF] asserted. This behavior is intended to allow the software sufficient
time to read the LIN break character from the data buffer to ensure that a break character
was actually detected. The checking of the break character was used on some older
implementations and is therefore supported for legacy reasons. Applications that do not
require this checking can simply clear S2[LBKDIF] without checking the stored value to
ensure it is a break character.

52.8.5 Overrun NACK considerations
When C7816[ISO_7816E] is enabled and C7816[TTYPE] = 0, the retransmission feature
of the 7816 protocol can be used to help avoid lost data when the data buffer overflows.
Using C7816[ONACK], the module can be programmed to issue a NACK on an
overflow event. Assuming that the smartcard device has implemented retransmission, the
lost data will be retransmitted. While useful, there is a programming implication that may
require special consideration. The need to transmit a NACK must be determined and
committed to prior to the dataword being fully received. While the NACK is being
received, it is possible that the application code will read the data buffer such that
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1611

Application information

sufficient room will be made to store the dataword that is being NACKed. Even if room
has been made in the data buffer after the transmission of a NACK is completed, the
received data will always be discarded as a result of an overflow and the
ET7816[RXTHRESHOLD] value will be incremented by one. However, if sufficient
space now exists to write the received data which was NACK'ed, S1[OR] will be blocked
and kept from asserting.

52.8.6 Match address registers
The two match address registers allow a second match address function for a broadcast or
general call address to the serial bus, as an example.

52.8.7 Modem feature
This section describes the modem features.

52.8.7.1 Ready-to-receive using RTS
To help to stop overrun of the receiver data buffer, the RTS signal can be used by the
receiver to indicate to another UART that it is ready to receive data. The other UART can
send the data when its CTS signal is asserted. This handshaking conforms to the
TIA-232-E standard. A transceiver is necessary if the required voltage levels of the
communication link do not match the voltage levels of the UART's RTS and CTS signals.

to connect RTS_B to both DE and RE_B. The transceiver's receiver is disabled while
driving. A pullup can pull RXD to a non-floating value during this time. This option can
be refined further by operating the UART in single wire mode, freeing the RXD pin for
other uses.

52.8.8 IrDA minimum pulse width
The IrDA specifies a minimum pulse width of 1.6 µs. The UART hardware does not
include a mechanism to restrict/force the pulse width to be greater than or equal to 1.6 µs.
However, configuring the baud rate to 115.2 kbit/s and the narrow pulse width to 3/16 of
a bit time results in a pulse width of 1.6 µs.

52.8.9 Clearing 7816 wait timer (WT, BWT, CWT) interrupts
The 7816 wait timer interrupts associated with IS7816[WT], IS7816[BWT], and
IS7816[CWT] will automatically reassert if they are cleared and the wait time is still
violated. This behavior is similar to most of the other interrupts on the UART. In most
cases, if the condition that caused the interrupt to trigger still exists when the interrupt is
cleared, then the interrupt will reassert. For example, consider the following scenario:
1. IS7816[WT] is programmed to assert after 9600 cycles of unresponsiveness.
2. The 9600 cycles pass without a response resulting in the WT interrupt asserting.
3. The IS7816[WT] is cleared at cycle 9700 by the interrupt service routine.

Application information

4. After the WT interrupt has been cleared, the smartcard remains unresponsive. At
cycle 9701 the WT interrupt will be reasserted.
If the intent of clearing the interrupt is such that it does not reassert, the interrupt service
routine must remove or clear the condition that originally caused the interrupt to assert
prior to clearing the interrupt. There are multiple ways that this can be accomplished,
including ensuring that an event that results in the wait timer resetting occurs, such as, the
transmission of another packet.

52.8.10 Legacy and reverse compatibility considerations
Recent versions of the UART have added several new features. Whenever reasonably
possible, reverse compatibility was maintained. However, in some cases this was either
not feasible or the behavior was deemed as not intended. This section describes several
differences to legacy operation that resulted from these recent enhancements. If
application code from previous versions is used, it must be reviewed and modified to take
the following items into account. Depending on the application code, additional items
that are not listed here may also need to be considered.
1. Various reserved registers and register bits are used, such as, MSFB and M10.
2. This module now generates an error when invalid address spaces are used.
3. While documentation indicated otherwise, in some cases it was possible for
S1[IDLE] to assert even if S1[OR] was set.
4. S1[OR] will be set only if the data buffer (FIFO) does not have sufficient room.
Previously, the data buffer was always a fixed size of one and the S1[OR] flag would
set so long as S1[RDRF] was set even if there was room in the data buffer. While the
clearing mechanism has remained the same for S1[RDRF], keeping the OR flag
assertion tied to the RDRF event rather than the data buffer being full would have
greatly reduced the usefulness of the buffer when its size is larger than one.
5. Previously, when C2[RWU] was set (and WAKE = 0), the IDLE flag could reassert
up to every bit period causing an interrupt and requiring the host processor to reassert
C2[RWU]. This behavior has been modified. Now, when C2[RWU] is set (and
WAKE = 0), at least one non-idle bit must be detected before an idle can be detected.

Secured digital host controller (SDHC)
53.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The chapter is intended for a module driver software developer. It describes module-level
operation and programming.

53.2 Overview
53.2.1 Supported types of cards
Different types of cards supported by the SDHC are described briefly as follows:
The multimedia card (MMC) is a universal low-cost data storage and communication
media that is designed to cover a wide area of applications including mobile video and
gaming. Old MMC cards are based on a 7-pin serial bus with a single data pin, while the
new high-speed MMC communication is based on an advanced 11-pin serial bus
designed to operate in the low-voltage range.
The secure digital card (SD) is an evolution of the old MMC technology. It is specifically
designed to meet the security, capacity, performance, and environment requirements
inherent in newly emerging audio and video consumer electronic devices. The physical
form factor, pin assignment, and data transfer protocol are forward compatible with the
old MMC with some additions.

Overview

Under the SD protocol, it can be categorized into memory card, I/O card and combo card,
which has both memory and I/O functions. The memory card invokes a copyright
protection mechanism that complies with the security of the SDMI standard. The I/O
card, which is also known as SDIO card, provides high-speed data I/O with low power
consumption for mobile electronic devices. For the sake of simplicity, the figure does not
show cards with reduced size or mini cards.

31–2
DSADDR

Description
DMA System Address
Contains the 32-bit system memory address for a DMA transfer. Because the address must be word (4
bytes) align, the least 2 bits are reserved, always 0. When the SDHC stops a DMA transfer, this register
points to the system address of the next contiguous data position. It can be accessed only when no
transaction is executing, that is, after a transaction has stopped. Read operation during transfers may
return an invalid value. The host driver shall initialize this register before starting a DMA transaction. After
DMA has stopped, the system address of the next contiguous data position can be read from this register.
This register is protected during a data transfer. When data lines are active, write to this register is
ignored. The host driver shall wait, until PRSSTAT[DLA] is cleared, before writing to this register.
The SDHC internal DMA does not support a virtual memory system. It supports only continuous physical
memory access. And due to AHB burst limitations, if the burst must cross the 1 KB boundary, SDHC will
automatically change SEQ burst type to NSEQ.
Because this register supports dynamic address reflecting, when IRQSTAT[TC] bit is set, it automatically
alters the value of internal address counter, so SW cannot change this register when IRQSTAT[TC] is set.

BLKCNT

Description
Blocks Count For Current Transfer
This register is enabled when XFERTYP[BCEN] is set to 1 and is valid only for multiple block transfers.
For single block transfer, this register will always read as 1. The host driver shall set this register to a value
between 1 and the maximum block count. The SDHC decrements the block count after each block transfer
and stops when the count reaches zero. Setting the block count to 0 results in no data blocks being
transferred.
This register must be accessed only when no transaction is executing, that is, after transactions are
stopped. During data transfer, read operations on this register may return an invalid value and write
operations are ignored.
When saving transfer content as a result of a suspend command, the number of blocks yet to be
transferred can be determined by reading this register. The reading of this register must be applied after
transfer is paused by stop at block gap operation and before sending the command marked as suspend.
This is because when suspend command is sent out, SDHC will regard the current transfer as aborted and
change BLKCNT back to its original value instead of keeping the dynamical indicator of remained block
count.
When restoring transfer content prior to issuing a resume command, the host driver shall restore the
previously saved block count.
NOTE: Although the BLKCNT field is 0 after reset, the read of reset value is 0x1. This is because when
XFERTYP[MSBSEL] is 0, indicating a single block transfer, the read value of BLKCNT is always
1.

Command Argument
The SD/MMC command argument is specified as bits 39-8 of the command format in the SD or MMC
specification. This register is write protected when PRSSTAT[CDIHB0] is set.

53.4.4 Transfer Type register (SDHC_XFERTYP)
This register is used to control the operation of data transfers. The host driver shall set
this register before issuing a command followed by a data transfer, or before issuing a
resume command. To prevent data loss, the SDHC prevents writing to the bits that are
involved in the data transfer of this register, when data transfer is active. These bits are
DPSEL, MBSEL, DTDSEL, AC12EN, BCEN, and DMAEN.
The host driver shall check PRSSTAT[CDIHB] and PRSSTAT[CIHB] before writing to
this register. When PRSSTAT[CDIHB] is set, any attempt to send a command with data
by writing to this register is ignored; when PRSSTAT[CIHB] bit is set, any write to this
register is ignored.

Memory map and register definition

On sending commands with data transfer involved, it is mandatory that the block size is
nonzero. Besides, block count must also be nonzero, or indicated as single block transfer
(bit 5 of this register is 0 when written), or block count is disabled (bit 1 of this register is
0 when written), otherwise SDHC will ignore the sending of this command and do
nothing. For write command, with all above restrictions, it is also mandatory that the
write protect switch is not active (WPSPL bit of Present State Register is 1), otherwise
SDHC will also ignore the command.
If the commands with data transfer does not receive the response in 64 clock cycles, that
is, response time-out, SDHC will regard the external device does not accept the command
and abort the data transfer. In this scenario, the driver must issue the command again to
retry the transfer. It is also possible that, for some reason, the card responds to the
command but SDHC does not receive the response, and if it is internal DMA (either
simple DMA or ADMA) read operation, the external system memory is over-written by
the internal DMA with data sent back from the card.

data transfer.

Command Type

These bits shall be set to the command number that is specified in bits 45-40 of the command-format in
the SD Memory Card Physical Layer Specification and SDIO Card Specification.

There are three types of special commands: suspend, resume, and abort. These bits shall be set to 00b
for all other commands.
• Suspend command: If the suspend command succeeds, the SDHC shall assume that the card bus
has been released and that it is possible to issue the next command which uses the DAT line.
Because the SDHC does not monitor the content of command response, it does not know if the
suspend command succeeded or not. It is the host driver's responsibility to check the status of the
suspend command and send another command marked as suspend to inform the SDHC that a
suspend command was successfully issued. After the end bit of command is sent, the SDHC
deasserts read wait for read transactions and stops checking busy for write transactions. In 4-bit
mode, the interrupt cycle starts. If the suspend command fails, the SDHC will maintain its current
state, and the host driver shall restart the transfer by setting PROCTL[CREQ].
• Resume command: The host driver restarts the data transfer by restoring the registers saved before
sending the suspend command and then sends the resume command. The SDHC will check for a
pending busy state before starting write transfers.
• Abort command: If this command is set when executing a read transfer, the SDHC will stop reads to
the buffer. If this command is set when executing a write transfer, the SDHC will stop driving the
DAT line. After issuing the abort command, the host driver must issue a software reset (abort
transaction).

The following table describes the mapping of command responses from the SD bus to

This table shows that most responses with a length of 48 (R[47:0]) have 32-bit of the
response data (R[39:8]) stored in the CMDRSP0 register. Responses of type R1b (auto
CMD12 responses) have response data bits (R[39:8]) stored in the CMDRSP3 register.
Responses with length 136 (R[135:0]) have 120-bit of the response data (R[127:8]) stored
in the CMDRSP0, 1, 2, and 3 registers.
To be able to read the response status efficiently, the SDHC stores only a part of the
response data in the command response registers. This enables the host driver to
efficiently read 32-bit of response data in one read cycle on a 32-bit bus system. Parts of
the response, the index field and the CRC, are checked by the SDHC, as specified by
XFERTYP[CICEN] and XFERTYP[CCCEN], and generate an error interrupt if any error
is detected. The bit range for the CRC check depends on the response length. If the
response length is 48, the SDHC will check R[47:1], and if the response length is 136 the
SDHC will check R[119:1].
Because the SDHC may have a multiple block data transfer executing concurrently with a
CMD_wo_DAT command, the SDHC stores the auto CMD12 response in the CMDRSP3
register. The CMD_wo_DAT response is stored in CMDRSP0. This allows the SDHC to
avoid overwriting the Auto CMD12 response with the CMD_wo_DAT and vice versa.
When the SDHC modifies part of the command response registers, as shown in the table
above, it preserves the unmodified bits.

Data Content
The Buffer Data Port register is for 32-bit data access by the CPU or the external DMA. When the internal
DMA is enabled, any write to this register is ignored, and any read from this register will always yield 0s.

53.4.10 Present State register (SDHC_PRSSTAT)
The host driver can get status of the SDHC from this 32-bit read-only register.
NOTE
The host driver can issue CMD0, CMD12, CMD13 (for
memory) and CMD52 (for SDIO) when the DAT lines are busy
during a data transfer. These commands can be issued when
Command Inhibit (CIHB) is set to zero. Other commands shall
be issued when Command Inhibit (CDIHB) is set to zero.
Possible changes to the SD Physical Specification may add
other commands to this list in the future.

In the case of read transactions:
This status indicates whether a read transfer is executing on the SD bus. Changes in this value from 1 to

2. When the read wait state is stopped by a suspend command and the DAT2 line is released.
The SDHC will wait at the next block gap by driving read wait at the start of the interrupt cycle. If the read
wait signal is already driven (data buffer cannot receive data), the SDHC can wait for a current block gap
by continuing to drive the read wait signal. It is necessary to support read wait to use the suspend /

This status indicates that a write transfer is executing on the SD bus. Changes in this value from 1 to 0

This bit will be set in either of the following cases:
• After the end bit of the write command.
• When writing to 1 to PROCTL[CREQ] to continue a write transfer.
This bit will be cleared in either of the following cases:
• When the SD card releases write busy of the last data block, the SDHC will also detect if the output
is not busy. If the SD card does not drive the busy signal after the CRC status is received, the SDHC
shall assume the card drive "Not busy".
• When the SD card releases write busy, prior to waiting for write transfer, and as a result of a stop at
block gap request.

CDIHB

Description
Command Inhibit (DAT)
This status bit is generated if either the DLA or the RTA is set to 1. If this bit is 0, it indicates that the
SDHC can issue the next SD/MMC Command. Commands with a busy signal belong to CDIHB, for
example, R1b, R5b type. Except in the case when the command busy is finished, changing from 1 to 0
generates a transfer complete interrupt in the Interrupt Status register.
NOTE: The SD host driver can save registers for a suspend transaction after this bit has changed from 1
to 0.

CIHB

Cannot issue command which uses the DAT line.

Command Inhibit (CMD)
If this status bit is 0, it indicates that the CMD line is not in use and the SDHC can issue a SD/MMC
Command using the CMD line.
This bit is set also immediately after the Transfer Type register is written. This bit is cleared when the
command response is received. Even if the CDIHB bit is set to 1, Commands using only the CMD line can
be issued if this bit is 0. Changing from 1 to 0 generates a command complete interrupt in the interrupt
status register. If the SDHC cannot issue the command because of a command conflict error (see
command CRC error) or because of a command not issued by auto CMD12 error, this bit will remain 1 and
the command complete is not set. The status of issuing an auto CMD12 does not show on this bit.
0b
1b

Can issue command using only CMD line.
Cannot issue command.

53.4.11 Protocol Control register (SDHC_PROCTL)
There are three cases to restart the transfer after stop at the block gap. Which case is
appropriate depends on whether the SDHC issues a suspend command or the SD card
accepts the suspend command:
• If the host driver does not issue a suspend command, the continue request shall be
used to restart the transfer.
• If the host driver issues a suspend command and the SD card accepts it, a resume
command shall be used to restart the transfer.
• If the host driver issues a suspend command and the SD card does not accept it, the
continue request shall be used to restart the transfer.
Any time stop at block gap request stops the data transfer, the host driver shall wait for a
transfer complete (in the interrupt status register), before attempting to restart the transfer.
When restarting the data transfer by continue request, the host driver shall clear the stop
at block gap request before or simultaneously.

RWCTL

Read Wait Control
The read wait function is optional for SDIO cards. If the card supports read wait, set this bit to enable use
of the read wait protocol to stop read data using the DAT[2] line. Otherwise, the SDHC has to stop the SD
Clock to hold read data, which restricts commands generation. When the host driver detects an SDIO card
insertion, it shall set this bit according to the CCCR of the card. If the card does not support read wait, this
bit shall never be set to 1, otherwise DAT line conflicts may occur. If this bit is set to 0, stop at block gap
during read operation is also supported, but the SDHC will stop the SD Clock to pause reading operation.

Continue Request
Used to restart a transaction which was stopped using the PROCTL[SABGREQ]. When a suspend
operation is not accepted by the card, it is also by setting this bit to restart the paused transfer. To cancel
stop at the block gap, set PROCTL[SABGREQ] to 0 and set this bit to 1 to restart the transfer.
The SDHC automatically clears this bit, therefore it is not necessary for the host driver to set this bit to 0. If
both PROCTL[SABGREQ] and this bit are 1, the continue request is ignored.

Stop At Block Gap Request
Used to stop executing a transaction at the next block gap for both DMA and non-DMA transfers. Until the
IRQSTATEN[TCSEN] is set to 1, indicating a transfer completion, the host driver shall leave this bit set to
1. Clearing both PROCTL[SABGREQ] and PROCTL[CREQ] does not cause the transaction to restart.
Read Wait is used to stop the read transaction at the block gap. The SDHC will honor the
PROCTL[SABGREQ] for write transfers, but for read transfers it requires that SDIO card support read
wait. Therefore, the host driver shall not set this bit during read transfers unless the SDIO card supports
read wait and has set PROCTL[RWCTL] to 1, otherwise the SDHC will stop the SD bus clock to pause the
read operation during block gap. In the case of write transfers in which the host driver writes data to the
data port register, the host driver shall set this bit after all block data is written. If this bit is set to 1, the
host driver shall not write data to the Data Port register after a block is sent. Once this bit is set, the host
driver shall not clear this bit before IRQSTATEN[TCSEN] is set, otherwise the SDHC's behavior is
undefined.
This bit effects PRSSTAT[RTA], PRSSTAT[WTA], and PRSSTAT[CDIHB].

When this bit is set, 80 SD-clocks are sent to the card. After the 80 clocks are sent, this bit is self-cleared.
This bit is very useful during the card power-up period when 74 SD-clocks are needed and the clock auto
gating feature is enabled. Writing 1 to this bit when this bit is already 1 has no effect. Writing 0 to this bit at
any time has no effect. When either of the PRSSTAT[CIHB] and PRSSTAT[CDIHB] bits are set, writing 1
to this bit is ignored, that is, when command line or data lines are active, write to this bit is not allowed. On
the otherhand, when this bit is set, that is, during intialization active period, it is allowed to issue command,
and the command bit stream will appear on the CMD pad after all 80 clock cycles are done. So when this
command ends, the driver can make sure the 80 clock cycles are sent out. This is very useful when the
driver needs send 80 cycles to the card and does not want to wait till this bit is self-cleared.

Description
The frequency of SDCLK is set by the following formula: Clock frequency = (Base clock) / (prescaler x
divisor)
For example, if the base clock frequency is 96 MHz, and the target frequency is 25 MHz, then choosing
the prescaler value of 01h and divisor value of 1h will yield 24 MHz, which is the nearest frequency less
than or equal to the target. Similarly, to approach a clock value of 400 kHz, the prescaler value of 08h and
divisor value of eh yields the exact clock value of 400 kHz. The reset value of this field is 80h, so if the
input base clock ( SDHC clock ) is about 96 MHz, the default SD clock after reset is 375 kHz.
According to the SD Physical Specification Version 1.1 and the SDIO Card Specification Version 1.2, the
maximum SD clock frequency is 50 MHz and shall never exceed this limit.

SD Clock Enable
The host controller shall stop SDCLK when writing this bit to 0. SDCLK frequency can be changed when
this bit is 0. Then, the host controller shall maintain the same clock frequency until SDCLK is stopped
(stop at SDCLK = 0). If the IRQSTAT[CINS] is cleared, this bit must be cleared by the host driver to save
power.
Peripheral Clock Enable
If this bit is set, SDHC clock will always be active and no automatic gating is applied. Thus the SDCLK is
active except for when auto gating-off during buffer danger (buffer about to over-run or under-run). When
this bit is cleared, the SDHC clock will be automatically off whenever there is no transaction on the SD
bus. Because this bit is only a feature enabling bit, clearing this bit does not stop SDCLK immediately.
The SDHC clock will be internally gated off, if none of the following factors are met:
• The cmd part is reset, or
• Data part is reset, or
• A soft reset, or
• The cmd is about to send, or
• Clock divisor is just updated, or
• Continue request is just set, or

53.4.13 Interrupt Status register (SDHC_IRQSTAT)
An interrupt is generated when the Normal Interrupt Signal Enable is enabled and at least
one of the status bits is set to 1. For all bits, writing 1 to a bit clears it; writing to 0 keeps
the bit unchanged. More than one status can be cleared with a single register write. For
Card Interrupt, before writing 1 to clear, it is required that the card stops asserting the
interrupt, meaning that when the Card Driver services the interrupt condition, otherwise
the CINT bit will be asserted again.

Command CRC Error
Command CRC Error is generated in two cases.
• If a response is returned and the Command Timeout Error is set to 0, indicating no time-out, this bit
is set when detecting a CRC error in the command response.
• The SDHC detects a CMD line conflict by monitoring the CMD line when a command is issued. If the
SDHC drives the CMD line to 1, but detects 0 on the CMD line at the next SDCLK edge, then the
SDHC shall abort the command (Stop driving CMD line) and set this bit to 1. The Command Timeout
Error shall also be set to 1 to distinguish CMD line conflict.

Command Timeout Error
Occurs only if no response is returned within 64 SDCLK cycles from the end bit of the command. If the
SDHC detects a CMD line conflict, in which case a Command CRC Error shall also be set, this bit shall be
set without waiting for 64 SDCLK cycles. This is because the command will be aborted by the SDHC.

Card Interrupt
This status bit is set when an interrupt signal is detected from the external card. In 1-bit mode, the SDHC
will detect the Card Interrupt without the SD Clock to support wakeup. In 4-bit mode, the card interrupt
signal is sampled during the interrupt cycle, so the interrupt from card can only be sampled during interrupt
cycle, introducing some delay between the interrupt signal from the SDIO card and the interrupt to the host
system. Writing this bit to 1 can clear this bit, but as the interrupt factor from the SDIO card does not clear,
this bit is set again. To clear this bit, it is required to reset the interrupt factor from the external card
followed by a writing 1 to this bit.

Description
When this status has been set, and the host driver needs to service this interrupt, the Card Interrupt Signal
Enable in the Interrupt Signal Enable register should be 0 to stop driving the interrupt signal to the host
system. After completion of the card interrupt service (it must reset the interrupt factors in the SDIO card
and the interrupt signal may not be asserted), write 1 to clear this bit, set the Card Interrupt Signal Enable
to 1, and start sampling the interrupt signal again.

Card Removal
This status bit is set if the Card Inserted bit in the Present State register changes from 1 to 0. When the

register must be confirmed. Because the card state may possibly be changed when the host driver clears
this bit and the interrupt event may not be generated. When this bit is cleared, it will be set again if no card
is inserted. To leave it cleared, clear the Card Removal Status Enable bit in Interrupt Status Enable
register.

Block Gap Event
If PROCTL[SABGREQ] is set, this bit is set when a read or write transaction is stopped at a block gap. If
PROCTL[SABGREQ] is not set to 1, this bit is not set to 1.
In the case of a read transaction: This bit is set at the falling edge of the DAT line active status, when the
transaction is stopped at SD Bus timing. The read wait must be supported in order to use this function.
In the case of write transaction: This bit is set at the falling edge of write transfer active status, after getting

Transfer Complete
This bit is set when a read or write transfer is completed.
In the case of a read transaction: This bit is set at the falling edge of the read transfer active status. There
are two cases in which this interrupt is generated. The first is when a data transfer is completed as
specified by the data length, after the last data has been read to the host system. The second is when
data has stopped at the block gap and completed the data transfer by setting PROCTL[SABGREQ], after
valid data has been read to the host system.
In the case of a write transaction: This bit is set at the falling edge of the DAT line active status. There are
two cases in which this interrupt is generated. The first is when the last data is written to the SD card as
specified by the data length and the busy signal is released. The second is when data transfers are
stopped at the block gap, by setting PROCTL[SABGREQ], and the data transfers are completed,after valid
data is written to the SD card and the busy signal released.

NOTE
• Depending on PROCTL[IABG] bit setting, SDHC may be
programmed to sample the card interrupt signal during the
interrupt period and hold its value in the flip-flop. There
will be some delays on the card interrupt, asserted from the
card, to the time the host system is informed.
• To detect a CMD line conflict, the host driver must set both
IRQSTATEN[CTOESEN] and IRQSTATEN[CCESEN] to
1.

53.4.16 Auto CMD12 Error Status Register (SDHC_AC12ERR)
When the AC12ESEN bit in the Status register is set, the host driver shall check this

CMD line conflict

Changes in Auto CMD12 Error Status register can be classified in three scenarios:
1. When the SDHC is going to issue an Auto CMD12:
• Set bit 0 to 1 if the Auto CMD12 can't be issued due to an error in the previous
command.
• Set bit 0 to 0 if the auto CMD12 is issued.
2. At the end bit of an auto CMD12 response:
• Check errors corresponding to bits 1-4.
• Set bits 1-4 corresponding to detected errors.
• Clear bits 1-4 corresponding to detected errors.
3. Before reading the Auto CMD12 error status bit 7:
• Set bit 7 to 1 if there is a command that can't be issued.
• Clear bit 7 if there is no command to issue.
The timing for generating the auto CMD12 error and writing to the command register are
asynchronous. After that, bit 7 shall be sampled when the driver is not writing to the
command register. So it is suggested to read this register only when IRQSTAT[AC12E]
is set. An Auto CMD12 error interrupt is generated when one of the error bits (0-4) is set
to 1. The command not issued by auto CMD12 error does not generate an interrupt.

53.4.19 Force Event register (SDHC_FEVT)
The Force Event (FEVT) register is not a physically implemented register. Rather, it is an
address at which the Interrupt Status register can be written if the corresponding bit of the
Interrupt Status Enable register is set. This register is a write only register and writing 0
to it has no effect. Writing 1 to this register actually sets the corresponding bit of
Interrupt Status register. A read from this register always results in 0's. To change the
corresponding status bits in the interrupt status register, make sure to set
SYSCTL[IPGEN] so that bus clock is always active.

Forcing a card interrupt will generate a short pulse on the DAT[1] line, and the driver
may treat this interrupt as a normal interrupt. The interrupt service routine may skip
polling the card interrupt factor as the interrupt is selfcleared.

53.4.20 ADMA Error Status register (SDHC_ADMAES)
When an ADMA error interrupt has occurred, the ADMA Error States field in this
register holds the ADMA state and the ADMA System Address register holds the address
around the error descriptor.
For recovering from this error, the host driver requires the ADMA state to identify the
error descriptor address as follows:
• ST_STOP: Previous location set in the ADMA System Address register is the error
descriptor address.
• ST_FDS: Current location set in the ADMA System Address register is the error
descriptor address.
• ST_CADR: This state is never set because it only increments the descriptor pointer
and doesn’t generate an ADMA error.
• ST_TFR: Previous location set in the ADMA System Address register is the error
descriptor address.
In case of a write operation, the host driver must use the ACMD22 to get the number of
the written block, rather than using this information, because unwritten data may exist in
the host controller.
The host controller generates the ADMA error interrupt when it detects invalid descriptor
data (valid = 0) in the ST_FDS state. The host driver can distinguish this error by reading
the valid bit of the error descriptor.

53.5 Functional description
The following sections provide a brief functional description of the major system blocks,
including the data buffer, DMA crossbar switch interface, dual-port memory wrapper,
data/command controller, clock & reset manager, and clock generator.

53.5.1 Data buffer
The SDHC uses one configurable data buffer, so that data can be transferred between the
system bus and the SD card, with an optimized manner to maximize throughput between
the two clock domains (that is, the IP peripheral clock, and the master clock). The
following diagram illustrates the buffer scheme. The buffer is used as temporary storage
for data being transferred between the host system and the card. The watermark levels for
read and write are both configurable, and can be any number from 1 to 128 words. The
burst lengths for read and write are also configurable, and can be any number from 1 to
31 words.

Figure 53-27. SDHC buffer scheme

There are 3 transfer modes to access the data buffer:
• CPU Polling mode:
• For a host read operation, when the number of words received in the buffer
meets or exceeds the RDWML watermark value, then by polling
IRQSTAT[BRR] the host driver can read the DATPORT register to fetch the
amount of words set in the WML register from the buffer. The write operation is
similar.
• External DMA mode:
• For a read operation, when there are more words received in the buffer than the
amount set in the RDWML register, a DMA request is sent out to inform the
external DMA to fetch the data. The request will be immediately deasserted
when there is an access on the DATPORT register. If the number of words in the
buffer after the current burst meets or exceeds RDWML value, then the DMA
request is asserted again. For instance if there are twice as many words in the
buffer than the RDWML value, there are two successive DMA requests with
only one cycle of deassertion between. The write operation is similar.
Note the accesses CPU Polling mode and External DMA mode both use the IP
bus, and if the external DMA is enable, in both modes an external DMA request
is sent out whenever the buffer is ready.
• Internal DMA mode (includes simple and advanced DMA access's):
• The internal DMA access, either by simple or advanced DMA, is over the
crossbar switch bus. For internal DMA access mode, the external DMA request
will never be sent out.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

For a read operation, when there are more words in the buffer than the amount set in
WML, the internal DMA starts fetching data over the crossbar switch bus. Except INCR4
and INCR8, the burst type is always INCR mode and the burst length depends on the
shortest of following factors:
1. Burst length configured in the burst length field of WML
2. Watermark level boundary
3. Block size boundary
4. Data boundary configured in the current descriptor if the ADMA is active
5. 1 KB address boundary
Write operation is similar.
Sequential and contiguous access is necessary to ensure the pointer address value is
correct. Random or skipped access is not possible. The byte order, by reset, is little
endian mode. The actually byte order is swapped inside the buffer, according to the
endian mode configured by software, as illustrated in the following diagrams. For a host
write operation, byte order is swapped after data is fetched from the buffer and ready to
send to the SD bus. For a host read operation, byte order is swapped before the data is
stored into the buffer.

There are three ways to write data into the buffer when the user transfers data to the card:

Functional description

1. Using external DMA through the SDHC DMA request signal.
2. Processor core polling through IRQSTAT[BWR] (interrupt or polling).
3. Using the internal DMA.
When the internal DMA is not used, that is, the XFERTYP[DMAEN] bit is not set when
the command is sent, the SDHC asserts a DMA request when the amount of buffer space
exceeds the value set in WML, and is ready for receiving new data. At the same time, the
SDHC would set IRQSTAT[BWR]. The buffer write ready interrupt will be generated if
it is enabled by software.
When internal DMA is used, the SDHC will not inform the system before all the required
number of bytes are transferred if no error was encountered. When an error occurs during
the data transfer, the SDHC will abort the data transfer and abandon the current block.
The host driver must read the contents of the DSADDR to get the starting address of the
abandoned data block. If the current data transfer is in multiblock mode, the SDHC will
not automatically send CMD12, even though XFERTYP[AC12EN] is set. The host driver
shall send CMD12 in this scenario and restart the write operation from that address. It is
recommended that a software reset for data be applied before the transfer is restarted after
error recovery.
The SDHC will not start data transmission until the number of words set in WML can be
held in the buffer. If the buffer is empty and the host system does not write data in time,
the SDHC will stop the SD_CLK to avoid the data buffer underrun situation.

53.5.1.2 Read operation sequence
There are three ways to read data from the buffer when the user transfers data to the card:
1. Using the external DMA through the SDHC DMA request signal
2. Processor core polling through IRQSTAT[BRR] (interrupt or polling)
3. Using the internal DMA
When internal DMA is not used, that is, XFERTYP[DMAEN] is not set when the
command is sent, the SDHC asserts a DMA request when the amount of data exceeds the
value set in WML, that is available and ready for system fetching data. At the same time,
the SDHC would set IRQSTAT[BRR]. The buffer read ready interrupt will be generated
if it is enabled by software.

When internal DMA is used, the SDHC will not inform the system before all the required
number of bytes are transferred if no error was encountered. When an error occurs during
the data transfer, the SDHC will abort the data transfer and abandon the current block.
The host driver must read the content of the DMA system address register to get the
starting address of the abandoned data block. If the current data transfer is in multiblock
mode, the SDHC will not automatically send CMD12, even though XFERTYP[AC12EN]
is set. The host driver shall send CMD12 in this scenario and restart the read operation
from that address. It is recommended that a software reset for data be applied before the
transfer is restarted after error recovery.
For any write transfer mode, the SDHC will not start data transmission until the number
of words set in WML are in the buffer. If the buffer is full and the Host System does not
read data in time, the SDHC will stop the SDHC_DCLK to avoid the data buffer overrun
situation.

53.5.1.3 Data buffer and block size
The user needs to know the buffer size for the buffer operation during a data transfer to
use it in the most optimized way. In the SDHC, the only data buffer can hold up to 128
words (32-bit), and the watermark levels for write and read can be configured
respectively. For both read and write, the watermark level can be from 1 word to the
maximum of 128 words. For both read and write, the burst length can be from 1 word to
the maximum of 31 words. The host driver may configure the value according to the
system situation and requirement.
During a multiblock data transfer, the block length may be set to any value between 1 and
4096 bytes inclusive, which satisfies the requirements of the external card. The only
restriction is from the external card. It might not support that large of a block or it doesn't
support a partial block access, which is not the integer times of 512 bytes.
For block size not times of 4, that is, not word aligned, SDHC requires stuff bytes at the
end of each block, because the SDHC treats each block individually. For example, the
block size is 7 bytes, there are 12 blocks to write, the system side must write 2 times for
each block, and for each block, the ending byte would be abandoned by the SDHC
because it sends only 7 bytes to the card and picks data from the following system write,
so there would be 24 beats of write access in total.

53.5.1.4 Dividing large data transfer
This SDIO command CMD53 definition, limits the maximum data size of data transfers
according to the following formula:
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1671

Functional description

Max data size = Block size x Block count
The length of a multiple block transfer needs to be in block size units. If the total data
length can't be divided evenly into a multiple of the block size, then there are two ways to
transfer the data which depend on the function and the card design. Option 1 is for the
host driver to split the transaction. The remainder of the block size data is then transferred
by using a single block command at the end. Option 2 is to add dummy data in the last
block to fill the block size. For option 2, the card must manage the removal of the dummy
data.
The following diagram illustrates the dividing of large data transfers. Assuming a kind of
WLAN SDIO card supports block size only up to 64 bytes. Although the SDHC supports
a block size of up to 4096 bytes, the SDIO can only accept a block size less than 64
bytes, so the data must be divided. See the example below.

53.5.1.5 External DMA request
When the internal DMA is not in use, and external DMA request is enabled, the data
buffer will generate a DMA request to the system. During a write operation, when the
number of WRWML words can be held in the buffer free space, a DMA request is sent ,
informing the host system of a DMA write. IRQSTAT[BWR] is also set, as long as
IRQSTATEN[BWRSEN] is set. The DMA request is immediately deasserted when an
access to the DATPORT register is made. If the buffer's free space still meets the
watermark condition, the DMA request is asserted again after a cycle.
On read operation, when the number of RDWML words are already in the buffer, a DMA
request is sent, informing the host system for a DMA read. IRQSTAT[BRR] is also set,
as long as IRQSTATEN[BRRSEN] is set. The DMA request is immediately deasserted
when an access to the DATPORT register is made. If the buffer's data still meets the
watermark condition, the DMA request is asserted again after a cycle.
Because the DMA burst length can't change during a data transfer for an external DMA
transfer, the watermark level (read or write) must be a divisor of the block size. If it is
not, transferring of the block may cause buffer underrun for read operation or overrun for
write operation. For example, if the block size is 512 bytes, the watermark level of read
(or write) must be a power of 2 between 1 and 128. For processor core polling access, as
the last access in the block transfer can be controlled by software, there is no such issue.
The watermark level can be any value, even larger than the block size but not greater than
128 words. This is because the actual number of bytes transferred by the software can be
controlled and does not exceed the block size in each transfer.
The SDHC also supports non-word aligned block size, as long as the card supports that
block size. In this case, the watermark level must be set as the number of words. For
example, if the block size is 31 bytes, the watermark level can be set to any number of
word. For this case, the BLKATTR[BLKSIZE] bits shall be set as 1fh. For the CPU
polling access, the burst length can be 1 to 128 words, without restriction. This is because
the software will transfer 8 words, and the SDHC will also set the IRQSTAT[BWR] or
IRQSTAT[BRR] bits when the remaining data does not violate data buffer. See DMA
burst length for more details about the dynamic watermark level of the data buffer. For
the above example, even though 8 words are transferred via the DATPORT register, the
SDHC will transfer only 31 bytes over the SD bus, as required by the
BLKATTR[BLKSIZE] bits. In this data transfer, with non-word aligned block size, the
endian mode must be set cautiously, or invalid data will be transferred to/from the card.

53.5.2 DMA crossbar switch interface
The internal DMA implements a DMA engine and the crossbar switch master. When the
internal DMA is enabled (XFERTYP[DMAEN] is set), the interrupt status bits are set if
they are enabled. To avoid setting them, clear IRQSTATEN[BWRSEN, BRRSEN]. The
following diagram illustrates the DMA crossbar switch interface block.

53.5.2.1 Internal DMA request
If the watermark level requirement is met in data transfer, and the internal DMA is
enabled, the data buffer block sends a DMA request to the crossbar switch interface.
Meanwhile, the external DMA request signal is disabled. The delay in response from the
internal DMA engine depends on the system bus loading and the priority assigned to the
SDHC. The DMA engine does not respond to the request during its burst transfer, but is
ready to serve as soon as the burst is over. The data buffer de-asserts the request once an
access to the buffer is made. Upon access to the buffer by internal DMA, the data buffer
updates its internal buffer pointer, and when the watermark level is satisfied, another
DMA request is sent.
The data transfer is in the block unit, and the subsequent watermark level is always set as
the remaining number of words. For instance, for a multiblock data read with each block
size of 31 bytes, and the burst length set to 6 words. After the first burst transfer, if there
are more than 2 words in the buffer, which might contain some data of the next block,
another DMA request read is sent. This is because the remaining number of words to
send for the current block is (31 - 6 * 4) / 4 = 2. The SDHC will read 2 words out of the
buffer, with 7 valid bytes and 1 stuff byte.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

53.5.2.2 DMA burst length
Just like a CPU polling access, the DMA burst length for the internal DMA engine can be
from 1 to 16 words. The actual burst length for the DMA depends on the lesser of the
configured burst length or the remaining words of the current block. Take the example in
Internal DMA request again. The following burst length after 6 words are read will be 2
words, and the next burst length will be 6 words again. This is because the next block
starts, which is 31 bytes, more than 6 words. The host driver writer may take this variable
burst length into account. It is also acceptable to configure the burst length as the divisor
of the block size, so that each time the burst length will be the same.

53.5.2.3 Crossbar switch master interface
It is possible that the internal DMA engine could fail during the data transfer. When this
error occurs, the DMA engine stops the transfer and goes to the idle state as well as the
internal data buffer stops accepting incoming data. IRQSTAT[DMAE] is set to inform
the driver.
After the DMAE interrupt is received, the software shall send a CMD12 to abort the
current transfer and read DSADDR[DSADDR] to get the starting address of the
corrupted block. After the DMA error is fixed, the software must apply a data reset and
restart the transfer from this address to recover the corrupted block.

53.5.2.4 ADMA engine
In the SDHC standard, the new DMA transfer algorithm called the advanced DMA
(ADMA) is defined. For simple DMA, once the page boundary is reached, a DMA
interrupt will be generated and the new system address shall be programmed by the host
driver. The ADMA defines the programmable descriptor table in the system memory.
The host driver can calculate the system address at the page boundary and program the
descriptor table before executing ADMA. It reduces the frequency of interrupts to the
host system. Therefore, higher speed DMA transfers could be realized because the host
MCU intervention would not be needed during long DMA-based data transfers.
There are two types of ADMA: ADMA1 and ADMA2 in host controller. ADMA1 can
support data transfer of 4 KB aligned data in system memory. ADMA2 improves the
restriction so that data of any location and any size can be transferred in system memory.
Their formats of descriptor table are different.
ADMA can recognize all kinds of descriptors defined in the SDHC standard, and if end
flag is detected in the descriptor, ADMA will stop after this descriptor is processed.

ADMA concept and descriptor format

For ADMA1, including the following descriptors:
• Valid/Invalid descriptor
• Nop descriptor
• Set data length descriptor
• Set data address descriptor
• Link descriptor
• Interrupt flag and end flag in descriptor
For ADMA2, including the following descriptors:
• Valid/Invalid descriptor
• Nop descriptor
• Rsv descriptor
• Set data length and address descriptor
• Link descriptor
• Interrupt flag and end flag in descriptor
ADMA2 deals with the lower 32-bit first, and then the higher 32-bit. If the Valid flag of
descriptor is 0, it will ignore the high 32-bit. The address field shall be set on word
aligned (lower 2-bit is always set to 0). Data length is in byte unit.
ADMA will start read/write operation after it reaches the tran state, using the data length
and data address analyzed from most recent descriptor(s).
For ADMA1, the valid data length descriptor is the last set type descriptor before tran
type descriptor. Every tran type will trigger a transfer, and the transfer data length is
extracted from the most recent set type descriptor. If there is no set type descriptor after
the previous trans descriptor, the data length will be the value for previous transfer, or 0 if
no set descriptor is ever met.
For ADMA2, tran type descriptor contains both the data length and transfer data address,
so only a tran type descriptor can start a data transfer.

ADMA interrupt

If the interrupt flag of descriptor is set, ADMA will generate an interrupt according to
different type descriptor:
For ADMA1:
• Set type descriptor: interrupt is generated when data length is set.
• Tran type descriptor: interrupt is generated when this transfer is complete.
• Link type descriptor: interrupt is generated when new descriptor address is set.
• Nop type descriptor: interrupt is generated just after this descriptor is fetched.
For ADMA2:
• Tran type descriptor: interrupt is generated when this transfer is complete.

1678

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

• Link type descriptor: interrupt is generated when new descriptor address is set.
• Nop/Rsv type descriptor: interrupt is generated just after fetch this descriptor.
53.5.2.4.3

ADMA error

The ADMA stops whenever any error is encountered. These errors include:
• Fetching descriptor error
• Transfer error
• Data length mismatch error
ADMA descriptor error will be generated when it fails to detect the valid flag in the
descriptor. If ADMA descriptor error occurs, the interrupt is not generated even if the
interrupt flag of this descriptor is set.
When XFERTYP[BCEN] is set, data length set in buffer must be equal to the whole data
length set in descriptor nodes, otherwise data length mismatch error will be generated.
If XFERTYP[BCEN] is not set, the whole data length set in descriptor must be times of
block length, otherwise, when all data set in the descriptor nodes are done not at block
boundary, the data mismatch error will occur.

53.5.3 SD protocol unit
The SD protocol unit deals with all SD protocol affairs.
The SD protocol unit performs the following functions:
• Acts as the bridge between the internal buffer and the SD bus
• Sends the command data as well as its argument serially
• Stores the serial response bit stream into the corresponding registers
• Detects the bus state on the DAT[0] line
• Monitors the interrupt from the SDIO card
• Asserts the read wait signal
• Gates off the SD clock when buffer is announcing danger status
• Detects the write protect state

Functional description

The SD protocol unit consists of four submodules:
• SD transceiver
• SD clock and monitor
• Command agent
• Data agent

53.5.3.1 SD transceiver
In the SD protocol unit, the transceiver is the main control module. It consists of a FSM
and control module, from which the control signals for all other three modules are
generated.

53.5.3.2 SD clock & monitor
This module monitors the signal level on all 8 data lines, the command lines, and directly
routes the level values into the register bank. The driver can use this for debug purposes.
The module also detects the card detection (CD) line as well as the DAT[3] line. The
transceiver reports the card insertion state according to the CD state, or the signal level on
the DAT[3] line, when PROCTL[D3CD] is set.
The module detects the write protect (WP) line. With the information of the WP state, the
register bank will ignore the command, accompanied by a write operation, when the WP
switch is on.
If the internal data buffer is in danger, and the SD clock must be gated off to avoid buffer
over/under-run, this module will assert the gate of the output SD clock to shut the clock
off. After the buffer danger has recovered, and when the system access of the buffer
catches up, the clock gate of this module will open and the SD clock will be active again.
This module also drives the SDHC_LCTL output signal when PROCTL[LCTL] is set by
the driver.

53.5.3.3 Command agent
The command agent deals with the transactions on the CMD line. The following diagram
illustrates the structure for the command CRC Shift Register.

53.5.3.4 Data agent
The data agent deals with the transactions on the eight data lines. Moreover, this module
also detects the busy state on the DAT[0] line, and generates the read wait state by the
request from the transceiver. The CRC polynomials for the DAT are as follows:
Generator polynomial: G(x) = x16 + x12 + x5

M(x) = (first bit) * xn + (second bit) * xn-1 +...+ (last bit) * x0
CRC[15:0] = Remainder [(M(x) * x16) / G(x)]

53.5.4 Clock and reset manager
This module controls all the reset signals within the SDHC.
There are four kinds of reset signals within the SDHC:
• Hardware reset
• Software reset for all
• Software reset for the data part
• Software reset for the command part
All these signals are fed into this module and stable signals are generated inside the
module to reset all other modules. The module also gates off all the inside signals.
There are three clocks inside the SDHC:

• Bus clock
• SDHC clock
• System clock
The module monitors the activities of all other modules, supplies the clocks for them, and
when enabled, automatically gates off the corresponding clocks.

53.5.5 Clock generator
The clock generator generates the SDHC_CLK by peripheral source clock in two stages.
The following diagram illustrates the structure of the divider. The term "base" represents
the frequency of peripheral source clock.

Base

1st divisor
by 1, 2, 3, ..., 16

DIV

2nd divisor
by (1*), 2, 4, ..., 256

SD_CLK
(SD_CLK_2X*)

Figure 53-35. Two stages of the clock divider

The first stage outputs an intermediate clock (DIV), which can be base, base/2, base/3, ...,
or base/16.
The second stage is a prescaler, and outputs the actual clock (SDHC_CLK). This clock is
the driving clock for all submodules of the SD protocol unit, and the sync FIFOs to
synchronize with the data rate from the internal data buffer. The frequency of the clock
output from this stage, can be DIV, DIV/2, DIV/4,..., or DIV/256. Thus, the highest
frequency of the SDHC_CLK is base, and the next highest is base/2, while the lowest
frequency is base/4096. If the base clock is of equal duty ratio (usually true), the duty
cycle of SDHC_CLK is also 50%, even when the compound divisor is an odd value.

53.5.6 SDIO card interrupt
This section discusses SDIO interrupt handling.

53.5.6.1 Interrupts in 1-bit mode
In this case, the DAT[1] pin is dedicated to providing the interrupt function. An interrupt
is asserted by pulling the DAT[1] low from the SDIO card, until the interrupt service is
finished to clear the interrupt.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1682

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

53.5.6.2 Interrupt in 4-bit mode
Because the interrupt and data line 1 share Pin 8 in 4-bit mode, an interrupt will be sent
by the card and recognized by the host only during a specific time. This is known as the
interrupt period. The SDHC will only sample the level on pin 8 during the interrupt
period. At all other times, the host will ignore the level on pin 8, and treat it as the data
signal. The definition of the interrupt period is different for operations with single block
and multiple block data transfers.
In the case of normal single data block transmissions, the interrupt period becomes active
two clock cycles after the completion of a data packet. This interrupt period lasts until
after the card receives the end bit of the next command that has a data block transfer
associated with it.
For multiple block data transfers in 4-bit mode, there is only a limited period of time that
the interrupt period can be active due to the limited period of data line availability
between the multiple blocks of data. This requires a more strict definition of the interrupt
period. In this case, the interrupt period is limited to two clock cycles. This begins two
clocks after the end bit of the previous data block. During this 2-clock cycle interrupt
period, if an interrupt is pending, the SDHC_D1 line will be held low for one clock cycle
with the last clock cycle pulling SDHC_D1 high. On completion of the Interrupt Period,
the card releases the SDHC_D1 line into the high Z state. The SDHC samples the
SDHC_D1] during the interrupt period when PROCTL[IABG] is set.
See the SDIO Card Specification v1.10f for further information about the SDIO card
interrupt.

53.5.6.3 Card interrupt handling
When IRQSIGEN[CINTIEN] is set to 0, the SDHC clears the interrupt request to the host
system. The host driver must clear this bit before servicing the SDIO Interrupt and must
set this bit again after all interrupt requests from the card are cleared to prevent
inadvertent interrupts.
The SDIO status bit is cleared by resetting the SDIO interrupt. Writing to this bit would
have no effects. In 1-bit mode, the SDHC will detect the SDIO interrupt with or without
the SD clock (to support wakeup). In 4-bit mode, the interrupt signal is sampled during
the interrupt period, so there are some sample delays between the interrupt signal from
the SDIO card and the interrupt to the host system interrupt controller. When the SDIO
status has been set, and the host driver needs to service this interrupt, so the SDIO bit in
the interrupt control register of the SDIO card will be cleared. This is required to clear the

53.5.7 Card insertion and removal detection
The SDHC uses either the DAT[3] pin or the CD pin to detect card insertion or removal.
When there is no card on the MMC/SD bus, the DAT[3] will be pulled to a low voltage
level by default. When any card is inserted to or removed from the socket, the SDHC
detects the logic value changes on the DAT[3] pin and generates an interrupt. When the
DAT[3] pin is not used for card detection (for example, it is implemented in GPIO), the
CD pin must be connected for card detection. Whether DAT[3] is configured for card

detection or not, the CD pin is always a reference for card detection. Whether the DAT[3]
pin or the CD pin is used to detect card insertion, the SDHC will send an interrupt (if
enabled) to inform the Host system that a card is inserted.

53.5.8 Power management and wakeup events
When there is no operation between the SDHC and the card through the SD bus, the user
can completely disable the bus clock and the SDHC clock in the chip-level clock control
module to save power. When the user needs to use the SDHC to communicate with the
card, it can enable the clock and start the operation.
In some circumstances, when the clocks to the SDHC are disabled, for instance, when the
system is in low-power mode, there are some events for which the user needs to enable
the clock and handle the event. These events are called wakeup interrupts. The SDHC can
generate these interrupt even when there are no clocks enabled.
The three interrupts which can be used as wakeup events are:
• Card removal interrupt
• Card insertion interrupt
• Interrupt from SDIO card
The SDHC offers a power management feature. By clearing the clock enabled bits in the
system control register, the clocks are gated in the low position to the SDHC. For
maximum power saving, the user can disable all the clocks to the SDHC when there is no
operation in progress.
These three wakeup events, or wakeup interrupts, can also be used to wake up the system
from low-power modes.
Note
To make the interrupt a wakeup event, when all the clocks to
the SDHC are disabled or when the whole system is in lowpower mode, the corresponding wakeup enabled bit needs to be
set. See Protocol Control register for more information.

Functional description

53.5.8.1 Setting wakeup events
For the SDHC to respond to a wakeup event, the software must set the respective wakeup
enable bit before the CPU enters Sleep mode. Before the software disables the host clock,
it must ensure that all of the following conditions have been met:
• No read or write transfer is active
• Data and command lines are not active
• No interrupts are pending
• Internal data buffer is empty

53.5.9 MMC fast boot
In Embedded MultiMediaCard(eMMC4.3) spec, add fast boot feature needs hardware
support.
In Boot Operation mode, the master (multimediacard host) can read boot data from the
slave (MMC device) by keeping CMD line low after power-on, or sending CMD0 with
argument + 0xFFFFFFFA (optional for slave), before issuing CMD1.
There are two types of Fast Boot mode, boot operation, and Alternative boot operation in
eMMC4.3 spec. Each type also has with acknowledge and without acknowledge modes.
Note
For the eMMC4.3 card setting, please see the eMMC4.3
specification.

53.5.9.1 Boot operation
Note
In this block guide, this fast boot is called Normal Fast Boot
mode.
If the CMD line is held low for 74 clock cycles and more after power-up before the first
command is issued, the slave recognizes that Boot mode is being initiated and starts
preparing boot data internally.
Within 1 second after the CMD line goes low, the slave starts to send the first boot data
to the master on the DAT line(s). The master must keep the CMD line low to read all of
the boot data.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1686

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

If boot acknowledge is enabled, the slave has to send acknowledge pattern 010 to the
master within 50 ms after the CMD line goes low. If boot acknowledge is disabled, the
slave will not send out acknowledge pattern '010'.
The master can terminate Boot mode with the CMD line high.
Boot operation will be terminated when all contents of the enabled boot data are sent to
the master. After boot operation is executed, the slave shall be ready for CMD1 operation
and the master needs to start a normal MMC initialization sequence by sending CMD1.

53.5.9.2 Alternative boot operation
This boot function is optional for the device. If bit 0 in the extended CSD byte[228] is set
to 1, the device supports the alternative boot operation.
After power-up, if the host issues CMD0 with the argument of 0xFFFFFFFA after 74
clock cycles, before CMD1 is issued, or the CMD line goes low, the slave recognizes that
boot mode is being initiated and starts preparing boot data internally.
Within 1 second after CMD0 with the argument of 0xFFFFFFFA is issued, the slave
starts to send the first boot data to the master on the DAT line(s).
If boot acknowledge is enabled, the slave has to send the acknowledge pattern '010' to the
master within 50ms after the CMD0 with the argument of 0xFFFFFFFA is received. If
boot acknowledge is disabled, theslave will not send out acknowledge pattern '010'.
The master can terminate boot mode by issuing CMD0 (Reset).
Boot operation will be terminated when all contents of the enabled boot data are sent to
the master. After boot operation is executed, the slave shall be ready for CMD1 operation
and the master needs to start a normal MMC initialization sequence by sending CMD1.

53.6 Initialization/application of SDHC
All communication between system and cards are controlled by the host. The host sends
commands of two types:
• Broadcast
• Addressed point-to-point
Broadcast commands are intended for all cards, such as GO_IDLE_STATE,
SEND_OP_COND, ALL_SEND_CID, and so on. In Broadcast mode, all cards are in the
Open-Drain mode to avoid bus contention. See Commands for MMC/SD/SDIO/CE-ATA
for the commands of bc and bcr categories.
After the broadcast command CMD3 is issued, the cards enter Standby mode. Addressed
type commands are used from this point. In this mode, the CMD/DAT I/O pads will turn
to Push-Pull mode, to have the driving capability for maximum frequency operation. See
Commands for MMC/SD/SDIO/CE-ATA for the commands of ac and adtc categories.

53.6.1 Command send and response receive basic operation
Assuming the data type WORD is an unsigned 32-bit integer, the following flow is a
guideline for sending a command to the card(s):
send_command(cmd_index, cmd_arg, other requirements)
{
WORD wCmd; // 32-bit integer to make up the data to write into Transfer Type register, it is
recommended to implement in a bit-field manner
wCmd = ( & 0x3f) >> 24; // set the first 8 bits as '00'+
set CMDTYP, DPSEL, CICEN, CCCEN, RSTTYP, DTDSEL accorind to the command index;
if (internal DMA is used) wCmd |= 0x1;

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1688

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)
if (multi-block transfer) {
set MSBSEL bit;
if (finite block number) {
set BCEN bit;
if (auto12 command is to use) set AC12EN bit;
}
}
write_reg(CMDARG, ); // configure the command argument
write_reg(XFERTYP, wCmd); // set Transfer Type register as wCmd value to issue the command
}
wait_for_response(cmd_index)
{
while (CC bit in IRQ Status register is not set); // wait until Command Complete bit is set
read IRQ Status register and check if any error bits about Command are set
if (any error bits are set) report error;
write 1 to clear CC bit and all Command Error bits;
}

For the sake of simplicity, the function wait_for_response is implemented here by means
of polling. For an effective and formal way, the response is usually checked after the
command complete interrupt is received. By doing this, make sure the corresponding
interrupt status bits are enabled.
In some scenarios, the response time-out is expected. For instance, after all cards respond
to CMD3 and go to the standby state, no response to the host when CMD2 is sent. The
host driver shall deal with 'fake' errors like this with caution.

53.6.2 Card Identification mode
When a card is inserted to the socket or the card was reset by the host, the host needs to
validate the operation voltage range, identify the cards, request the cards to publish the
relative card address (RCA) or to set the RCA for the MMC cards. For CE-ATA, the
device is connected in a point-to-point manner, and no RCA is needed. All data
communications in the Card Identification mode use the command line (CMD) only. See
CE-ATA Digital Protocol, Revision 1.1 for more details.

53.6.2.1 Card detect
The following diagram illustrates the detection of MMC, SD, and SDIO cards using the
SDHC.

Figure 53-39. Flow diagram for card detection

Here is the card detection sequence:
• Set the CINSIEN bit to enable card detection interrupt
• When an interrupt from the SDHC is received, check IRQSTAT[CINS] in the
Interrupt Status register to see whether it was caused by card insertion
• Clear the CINSIEN bit to disable the card detection interrupt and ignore all card
insertion interrupts afterwards
To detect a CE-ATA device, after completing the normal MMC reset and initialization
procedures, the host driver shall issue CMD 60 to check for a CE-ATA signature. If the
device responds to the command with the CE-ATA signature, a CE-ATA device has been
found. Then the driver must query EXT_CSD register byte 504 (S_CMD_SET) in the
MMC register space. If the ATA bit (bit 4) is set, then the MMC device is an ATA
device. If the device indicates that it is an ATA device, the Driver must set the ATA bit
(bit 4) of the EXT_CSD register byte 191 (CMD_SET) to activate the ATA command set
for use. To choose the command set, the driver shall issue CMD6. It is possible that the
CE-ATA device does not support the ATA mode, so the driver shall not issue ATA
command to the device.

53.6.2.2 Reset
The host consists of three types of resets:
• Hardware reset (card and host) which is driven by power on reset (POR)
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1690

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

• Software reset (host only) is initiated by the write operation of the SYSCTL[RSTD],
SYSCTL[RSTC], or SYSCTL[RSTA] bits to reset the data part, command part, or
all parts of the host controller, respectively
• Card reset (card only). The command, Go_Idle_State (CMD0), is the software reset
command for all types of MMC cards, SD Memory cards, and CE-ATA cards. This
command sets each card into the idle state regardless of the current card state. For an
SD I/O Card, CMD52 is used to write an I/O reset in the CCCR. The cards are
initialized with a default relative card address (RCA = 0x0000) and with a default
driver stage register setting (lowest speed, highest driving current capability).
After the card is reset, the host needs to validate the voltage range of the card. The
following diagram illustrates the software flow to reset both the SDHC and the card.
For CE-ATA device that supports ATA mode, before issuing CMD0 to reset the MMC
layer, two CMD39 should be issued back-to-back to the ATA control register. The first
CMD39 shall have the SRST bit set to 1. The second CMD39 command shall have the
SRST bit cleared to 0.

Initialization/application of SDHC

53.6.2.3 Voltage validation
All cards should be able to establish communication with the host using any operation
voltage in the maximum allowed voltage range specified in the card specification.
However, the supported minimum and maximum values for VDD are defined in the
Operation Conditions Register (OCR) and may not cover the whole range. Cards that
store the CID and CSD data in the preload memory are able to communicate this
information only under data transfer VDD conditions. This means if the host and card
have noncommon VDD ranges, the card will not be able to complete the identification
cycle, nor will it be able to send CSD data.
Therefore, a special command Send_Op_Cont (CMD1 for MMC), SD_Send_Op_Cont
(ACMD41 for SD Memory) and IO_Send_Op_Cont (CMD5 for SD I/O) is used. For a
CE-ATA card, the process is the same as that of an MMC card. The voltage validation
procedure is designed to provide a mechanism to identify and reject cards which do not
match the VDD range(s) desired by the host. This is accomplished by the host sending the
desired VDD voltage window as the operand of this command. Cards that can't perform
the data transfer in the specified range must discard themselves from further bus
operations and go into the Inactive state. By omitting the voltage range in the command,
the host can query each card and determine the common voltage range before sending
out-of-range cards into the inactive state. This query should be used if the host is able to
select a common voltage range or if a notification shall be sent to the system when a
nonusable card in the stack is detected.
The following steps show how to perform voltage validation when a card is inserted:
voltage_validation(voltage_range_arguement)
{
label the card as UNKNOWN;
send_command(IO_SEND_OP_COND, 0x0, ); // CMD5, check SDIO
operation voltage, command argument is zero
if (RESP_TIMEOUT != wait_for_response(IO_SEND_OP_COND)) { // SDIO command is accepted
if (0 < number of IO functions) {
label the card as SDIO;
IORDY = 0;
while (!(IORDY in IO OCR response)) { // set voltage range for each IO function
send_command(IO_SEND_OP_COND, , );
wait_for_response(IO_SEND_OP_COND);
} // end of while ...
} // end of if (0 < ...
if (memory part is present inside SDIO card) Label the card as SDCombo; // this is an
SD-Combo card
} // end of if (RESP_TIMEOUT ...
if (the card is labelled as SDIO card) return; // card type is identified and voltage range

if (no error calling wait_for_response(APP_CMD, <...>) { // CMD55 is accepted
send_command(SD_APP_OP_COND, , <...>); // ACMD41, to set voltage range

wait_for_response(SD_APP_OP_COND); // voltage range is set
if (card type is UNKNOWN) label the card as SD;

else label the card as MMC;
} // of else
}

53.6.2.4 Card registry
Card registry for the MMC and SD/SDIO/SD combo cards are different. For CE-ATA, it
enters the tran state after reset is completed.
For the SD card, the identification process starts at a clock rate lower than 400 kHz and
the power voltage higher than 2.7 V, as defined by the card specification. At this time, the
CMD line output drives are push-pull drivers instead of open-drain. After the bus is
activated, the host will request the card to send their valid operation conditions. The
response to ACMD41 is the operation condition register of the card. The same command
shall be send to all of the new cards in the system. Incompatible cards are put into the
inactive state. The host then issues the command, All_Send_CID (CMD2), to each card
to get its unique card identification (CID) number. Cards that are currently unidentified,
in the ready state, send their CID number as the response. After the CID is sent by the
card, the card goes into the Identification state.
The host then issues Send_Relative_Addr (CMD3), requesting the card to publish a new
relative card address (RCA) that is shorter than the CID. This RCA will be used to
address the card for future data transfer operations. After the RCA is received, the card
changes its state to the Standby state. At this point, if the host wants the card to have an
alternative RCA number, it may ask the card to publish a new number by sending another
Send_Relative_Addr command to the card. The last published RCA is the actual RCA of
the card.
The host repeats the identification process with CMD2 and CMD3 for each card in the
system until the last CMD2 gets no response from any of the cards in system.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1693

Initialization/application of SDHC

For MMC operation, the host starts the card identification process in Open-Drain mode
with the identification clock rate lower than 400 kHz and the power voltage higher than
2.7 V. The open drain driver stages on the CMD line allow parallel card operation during
card identification. After the bus is activated, the host will request the cards to send their
valid operation conditions (CMD1). The response to CMD1 is the wired OR operation on
the condition restrictions of all cards in the system. Incompatible cards are sent into the
Inactive state.
The host then issues the broadcast command All_Send_CID (CMD2), asking all cards for
their unique card identification (CID) number. All unidentified cards, the cards in ready
state, simultaneously start sending their CID numbers serially, while bit-wise monitoring
their outgoing bit stream. Those cards, whose outgoing CID bits do not match the
corresponding bits on the command line in any one of the bit periods, stop sending their
CID immediately and must wait for the next identification cycle. Because the CID is
unique for each card, only one card can successfully send its full CID to the host. This
card then goes into the Identification state.
Thereafter, the host issues Set_Relative_Addr (CMD3) to assign to the card a relative
card address (RCA). When the RCA is received the card state changes to the standby
state, and the card does not react in further identification cycles, and its output driver
switches from open-drain to push-pull. The host repeats the process, mainly CMD2 and
CMD3, until the host receives a time-out condition to recognize the completion of the
identification process.
For CE-ATA operation (same interface as MMC cards):
card_registry()
{
do { // decide RCA for each card until response time-out
if(card is labelled as SDCombo or SDIO) { // for SDIO card like device
send_command(SET_RELATIVE_ADDR, 0x00, <...>); // ask SDIO card to publish its
RCA
retrieve RCA from response;
} // end if (card is labelled as SDCombo ...
else if (card is labelled as SD) { // for SD card
send_command(ALL_SEND_CID, <...>);
if (RESP_TIMEOUT == wait_for_response(ALL_SEND_CID)) break;
send_command(SET_RELATIVE_ADDR, <...>);
retrieve RCA from response;
} // else if (card is labelled as SD ...
else if (card is labelled as MMC or CE-ATA) { // treat CE-ATA as MMC
send_command(ALL_SEND_CID, <...>);
rca = 0x1; // arbitrarily set RCA, 1 here for example, this RCA is also the
relative address to access the CE-ATA card
send_command(SET_RELATIVE_ADDR, 0x1 << 16, <...>); // send RCA at upper 16
bits
} // end of else if (card is labelled as MMC ...
} while (response is not time-out);
}

53.6.3 Card access
This section discusses the various card access methods.

53.6.3.1 Block write
This section discusses the block write access methods.
53.6.3.1.1

Normal write

During a block write (CMD24 - 27, CMD60, CMD61), one or more blocks of data are
transferred from the host to the card with a CRC appended to the end of each block by the
host. If the CRC fails, the card shall indicate the failure on the dat line. The transferred
data will be discarded and not written, and all further transmitted blocks in Multiple
Block Write mode will be ignored.
If the host uses partial blocks whose accumulated length is not block aligned and block
misalignment is not allowed (CSD parameter WRITE_BLK_MISALIGN is not set, and
the CE-ATA card does not support partial block write, either), the card detects the block
misalignment error and aborts the programming before the beginning of the first
misaligned block. The card sets the ADDRESS_ERROR error bit in the status register,
and while ignoring all further data transfer, waits in the Receive-Data-state for a stop
command. For a CE-ATA card, check the CE-ATA card specification for its behavior in
block misalignment. The write operation is also aborted if the host tries to write over a
write protected area.
For MMC and SD cards, programming of the CID and CSD registers does not require a
previous block length setting. The transferred data is also CRC protected. If a part of the
CSD or CID register is stored in ROM, then this unchangeable part must match the
corresponding part of the receive buffer. If this match fails, then the card will report an
error and not change any register contents.
For all types of cards, some may require long and unpredictable periods of time to write a
block of data. After receiving a block of data and completing the CRC check, the card
will begin writing and hold the DAT line low if its write buffer is full and unable to
accept new data from a new WRITE_BLOCK command. The host may poll the status of
the card with a SEND_STATUS command (CMD13) or other means for SDIO and CEATA cards at any time, and the card will respond with its status. The responded status
indicates whether the card can accept new data or whether the write process is still in
progress. The host may deselect the card by issuing a CMD7 to select a different card to
place the card into the Standby state and release the DAT line without interrupting the

1695

Initialization/application of SDHC

write operation. When reselecting the card, it will reactivate the busy indication by
pulling DAT to low if the programming is still in progress and the write buffer is
unavailable.
The software flow to write to a card incorporates the internal DMA and the write
operation is a multi-block write with the Auto CMD12 enabled. For the other two
methods, by means of external DMA or CPU polling status, with different transfer
methods, the internal DMA parts should be removed and the alternative steps should be
straightforward.
The software flow to write to a card is:
1. Check the card status, wait until the card is ready for data.
2. Set the card block length/size:
a. For SD/MMC cards, use SET_BLOCKLEN (CMD16)
b. For SDIO cards or the I/O portion of SDCombo cards, use IO_RW_DIRECT
(CMD52) to set the I/O Block Size bit field in the CCCR register (for function 0)
or FBR register (for functions 1~7)
c. For CE-ATA cards, configure bits 1~0 in the scrControl register
3. Set the eSDHC block length register to be the same as the block length set for the
card in Step 2.
4. Set the eSDHC number block register (NOB), nob is 5 (for instance).
5. Disable the buffer write ready interrupt, configure the DMA settings, and enable the
eSDHC DMA when sending the command with data transfer. AC12EN should also
be set.
6. Wait for the Transfer Complete interrupt.
7. Check the status bit to see whether a write CRC error occurred, or some another
error, that occurred during the auto12 command sending and response receiving.
53.6.3.1.2

Write with pause

The write operation can be paused during the transfer. Instead of stopping the SD_CLK
at any time to pause all the operations, which is also inaccessible to the host driver, the
driver can set PROCTL[SABGREQ] to pause the transfer between the data blocks. As
there is no time-out condition in a write operation during the data blocks, a write to all
types of cards can be paused in this way, and if the DAT0 line is not required to deassert
to release the busy state, no suspend command is needed.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1696

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

Like the flow described in Normal write, the write with pause is shown with the same
kind of write operation:
1. Check the card status, wait until card is ready for data.
2. Set the card block length/size:
a. For SD/MMC, use SET_BLOCKLEN (CMD16)
b. For SDIO cards or the I/O portion of SDCombo cards, use
IO_RW_DIRECT(CMD52) to set the I/O Block Size bit field in the CCCR
register (for function 0) or FBR register (for functions 1~7)
c. For CE-ATA cards, configure bits 1~0 in the scrControl register
3. Set the SDHC block length register to be the same as the block length set for the card
in Step 2.
4. Set the SDHC number block register (NOB), nob is 5 (for instance).
5. Disable the buffer write ready interrupt, configure the DMA settings, and enable the
SDHC DMA when sending the command with data transfer. The
XFERTYP[AC12EN] bit should also be set.
6. Set PROCTL[SABGREQ].
7. Wait for the transfer complete interrupt.
8. Clear PROCTL[SABGREQ].
9. Check the status bit to see whether a write CRC error occurred.
10. Set PROCTL[CREQ] to continue the write operation.
11. Wait for the transfer complete interrupt.
12. Check the status bit to see whether a write CRC error occurred, or some another
error, that occurred during the auto12 command sending and response receiving.
The number of blocks left during the data transfer is accessible by reading the contents of
the BLKATTR[BLKCNT] . As the data transfer and the setting of the
PROCTL[SABGREQ] bit are concurrent, and the delay of register read and the register
setting, the actual number of blocks left may not be exactly the value read earlier. The
driver shall read the value of BLKATTR[BLKCNT] after the transfer is paused and the
transfer complete interrupt is received.

It is also possible that the last block has begun when the stop at block gap request is sent
to the buffer. In this case, the next block gap is actually the end of the transfer. These
types of requests are ignored and the Driver should treat this as a non-pause transfer and
deal with it as a common write operation.
When the write operation is paused, the data transfer inside the host system is not
stopped, and the transfer is active until the data buffer is full. Because of this (if not
needed), it is recommended to avoid using the suspend command for the SDIO card. This
is because when such a command is sent, the SDHC thinks the system will switch to
another function on the SDIO card, and flush the data buffer. The SDHC takes the
resume command as a normal command with data transfer, and it is left for the driver to
set all the relevant registers before the transfer is resumed. If there is only one block to
send when the transfer is resumed, XFERTYP[MSBSEL] and XFERTYP[BCEN] are set
as well as XFERTYP[AC12EN]. However, the SDHC will automatically send a CMD12
to mark the end of the multiblock transfer.

53.6.3.2 Block read
This section discusses the block read access methods.
53.6.3.2.1

Normal read

For block reads, the basic unit of data transfer is a block whose maximum size is stored in
areas defined by the corresponding card specification. A CRC is appended to the end of
each block, ensuring data transfer integrity. The CMD17, CMD18, CMD53, CMD60,
CMD61, and so on, can initiate a block read. After completing the transfer, the card
returns to the Transfer state. For multi blocks read, data blocks will be continuously
transferred until a stop command is issued.
The software flow to read from a card incorporates the internal DMA and the read
operation is a multi-block read with the Auto CMD12 enabled. For the other two methods
(by means of external DMA or CPU polling status) with different transfer methods, the
internal DMA parts should be removed and the alternative steps should be
straightforward.
The software flow to read from a card is:
1. Check the card status, wait until card is ready for data.
2. Set the card block length/size:
a. For SD/MMC, use SET_BLOCKLEN (CMD16)

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1698

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

b. For SDIO cards or the I/O portion of SDCombo cards, use
IO_RW_DIRECT(CMD52) to set the I/O block size bit field in the CCCR
register (for function 0) or FBR register (for functions 1~7)
c. For CE-ATA cards, configure bits 1~0 in the scrControl register
3. Set the SDHC block length register to be the same as the block length set for the card
in Step 2.
4. Set the SDHC number block register (NOB), nob is 5 (for instance).
5. Disable the buffer read ready interrupt, configure the DMA settings and enable the
SDHC DMA when sending the command with data transfer. XFERTYP[AC12EN]
must also be set.
6. Wait for the transfer complete interrupt.
7. Check the status bit to see whether a read CRC error occurred, or some another error,
occurred during the auto12 command sending and response receiving.
53.6.3.2.2

Read with pause

The read operation is not generally able to pause. Only the SDIO card and SDCombo
card working under I/O mode supporting the read and wait feature can pause during the
read operation. If the SDIO card support read wait (SRW bit in CCCR register is 1), the
Driver can set the SABGREQ bit in the Protocol Control register to pause the transfer
between the data blocks. Before setting the SABGREQ bit, make sure the RWCTL bit in
the Protocol Control register is set, otherwise the eSDHC will not assert the Read Wait
signal during the block gap and data corruption occurs. Set the RWCTL bit after the Read
Wait capability of the SDIO card is recognized.
Like the flow described in Normal read, the read with pause is shown with the same kind
of read operation:
1. Check the SRW bit in the CCR register on the SDIO card to confirm the card
supports Read Wait.
2. Set RWCTL.
3. Check the card status and wait until the card is ready for data.
4. Set the card block length/size:
a. For SD/MMC, use SET_BLOCKLEN (CMD16)

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Initialization/application of SDHC

b. For SDIO cards or the I/O portion of SDCombo cards, use
IO_RW_DIRECT(CMD52) to set the I/O Block Size bit field in the CCCR
register (for function 0) or FBR register (for functions 1~7)
c. For CE-ATA cards, configure bits 1~0 in the scrControl register
5. Set the SDHC block length register to be the same as the block length set for the card
in Step 2.
6. Set the SDHC number block register (NOB), nob is 5 (for instance).
7. Disable the buffer read ready interrupt, configure the DMA setting and enable the
eSDHC DMA when sending the command with data transfer. AC12EN must also be
set.
8. Set SABGREQ.
9. Wait for the Transfer Complete interrupt.
10. Clear SABGREQ.
11. Check the status bit to see whether read CRC error occurred.
12. Set CREQ to continue the read operation.
13. Wait for the Transfer Complete interrupt.
14. Check the status bit to see whether a read CRC error occurred, or some another error,
occurred during the auto12 command sending and response receiving.
Like the write operation, it is possible to meet the ending block of the transfer when
paused. In this case, the SDHC will ignore the Stop At Block Gap Request and treat it as
a command read operation.
Unlike the write operation, there is no remaining data inside the buffer when the transfer
is paused. All data received before the pause will be transferred to the Host System.
Whether the Suspend Command is sent or not, the internal data buffer is not flushed.
If the Suspend Command is sent and the transfer is later resumed by means of a Resume
Command, the SDHC takes the command as a normal one accompanied with data
transfer. It is left for the Driver to set all the relevant registers before the transfer is
resumed. If there is only one block to send when the transfer is resumed, the MSBSEL
and BCEN bits of the Transfer Type register are set, as well as the AC12EN bit.
However, the SDHC will automatically send the CMD12 to mark the end of multi-block
transfer.

53.6.3.3 Suspend resume
The SDHC supports the suspend resume operations of SDIO cards, although slightly
different than the suggested implementation of Suspend in the SDIO card specification.
53.6.3.3.1

Suspend

After setting the PROCTL[SABGREQ] bit, the host driver may send a suspend command
to switch to another function of the SDIO card. The SDHC does not monitor the content
of the response, therefore it doesn't know whether the suspend command succeeded or
not. Accordingly, it doesn't deassert read wait for read pause. To solve this problem, the
driver shall not mark the suspend command as a suspend, that is, setting the
XFERTYP[CMDTYP] bits to 01. Instead, the driver shall send this command as if it
were a normal command, and only when the command succeeds, and the BS bit is set in
the response, can the driver send another command marked as suspend to inform the
SDHC that the current transfer is suspended. As shown in the following sequence for
suspend operation:
1. Set PROCTL[SABGREQ] to pause the current data transfer at block gap.
2. After IRQSTAT[BGE] is set, send the suspend command to suspend the active
function. XFERTYP[CMDTYP] field must be 2'b00.
3. Check the BS bit of the CCCR in the response. If it is 1, repeat this step until the BS
bit is cleared or abandon the suspend operation according to the Driver strategy.
4. Send another normal I/O command to the suspended function. The
XFERTYP[CMDTYP] of this command must be 2'b01, so the SDHC can detect this
special setting and be informed that the paused operation has successfully suspended.
If the paused transfer is a read operation, the SDHC stops driving DAT2 and goes to
the Idle state.
5. Save the context registers in the system memory for later use, including the DMA
system address register for internal DMA operation, and the block attribute register.
6. Begin operation for another function on the SDIO card.
53.6.3.3.2

Resume

To resume the data transfer, a resume command shall be issued:
1. To resume the suspended function, restore the context register with the saved value
in step 5 of the suspend operation above.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1701

Initialization/application of SDHC

2. Send the resume command. In the transfer type register, all fields are set to the value
as if this were another ordinary data transfer, instead of a transfer resume, except the
CMDTYP is set to 2'b10.
3. If the resume command has responded, the data transfer will be resumed.

53.6.3.4 ADMA usage
To use the ADMA in a data transfer, the host driver must prepare the correct descriptor
chain prior to sending the read/write command:
1. Create a descriptor to set the data length that the current descriptor group is about to
transfer. The data length should be even numbers of the block size.
2. Create another descriptor to transfer the data from the address setting in this
descriptor. The data address must be at a page boundary (4 KB address aligned).
3. If necessary, create a link descriptor containing the address of the next descriptor.
The descriptor group is created in steps 1–3.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 until all descriptors are created.
5. In the last descriptor, set the end flag to 1 and make sure the total length of all
descriptors match the product of the block size and block number configured in the
BLKATTR register.
6. Set the DSADDR register to the address of the first descriptor and set the
PROCTL[DMAS] field to 01 to select the ADMA.
7. Issue a write or read command with XFERTYP[DMAEN] set to 1.
Steps 1–5 are independent of step 6, so step 6 can finish before steps 1–5. Regarding the
descriptor configuration, do not to use the link descriptor, as it requires extra system
memory access.

53.6.3.5 Transfer error
This section discusses the handling of transfer errors.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1702

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

53.6.3.5.1

CRC error

It is possible at the end of a block transfer that a write CRC status error or read CRC error
occurs. For this type of error, the latest block received shall be discarded. This is because
the integrity of the data block is not guaranteed. Discard the following data blocks and
retransfer the block from the corrupted one.
For a multi-block transfer, the host driver shall issue a CMD12 to abort the current
process and start the transfer by a new data command. In this scenario, even when the
XFERTYP[AC12EN] and BCEND bits are set, the SDHC does not automatically send a
CMD12 because the last block is not transferred. On the other hand, if it is within the last
block that the CRC error occurs, an auto CMD12 will be sent by the SDHC. In this case,
the driver shall re-send or re-obtain the last block with a single block transfer.
53.6.3.5.2

Internal DMA error

During the data transfer with internal simple DMA, if the DMA engine encounters some
error on the system bus, the DMA operation is aborted and DMA error interrupt is sent to
the host system. When acknowledged by such an interrupt, the driver shall calculate the
start address of data block in which the error occurs. The start address can be calculated
by either:
1. Reading the DMA system address register. The error occurs during the previous
burst. Taking the block size, the previous burst length and the start address of the
next burst transfer into account, it is straight forward to obtain the start address of the
corrupted block.
2. Reading the BLKCNT field of the block attribute register. By the number of blocks
left, the total number to transfer, the start address of transfer, and the size of each
block, the start address of corrupted block can be determined. When the BCEN bit is
not set, the contents of the block attribute register does not change, so this method
does not work.
When a DMA error occurs, abort the current transfer by means of a CMD12 (for multi
block transfer), apply a reset for data, and restart the transfer from the corrupted block to
recover from the error.
53.6.3.5.3

ADMA error

There are three kinds of possible ADMA errors: transfer, invalid descriptor, and datalength mismatch. Whenever these errors occur, the DMA transfer stops and the
corresponding error status bit is set. For acknowledging the status, the host driver should
recover the error as shown below and retransfer from the place of interruption.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

1703

Initialization/application of SDHC

• Transfer error: May occur during data transfer or descriptor fetch. For either
scenario, it is recommended to retrieve the transfer context, reset for the data part and
re-transfer the block that was corrupted, or the next block if no block is corrupted.
• Invalid descriptor error: For such errors, retrieve the transfer context, reset for the
data part, and recreate the descriptor chain from the invalid descriptor, and issue a
new transfer. As the data to transfer now may be less than the previous setting, the
data length configured in the new descriptor chain should match the new value.
• Data-length mismatch error: It is similar to recover from this error. The host driver
polls relating registers to retrieve the transfer context, apply a reset for the data part,
configure a new descriptor chain, and make another transfer if there is data left. Like
the previous scenario of the invalid descriptor error, the data length must match the
new transfer.
53.6.3.5.4

Auto CMD12 error

After the last block of the multi-block transfer is sent or received, and
XFERTYP[AC12EN] is set when the data transfer is initiated by the data command, the
SDHC automatically sends a CMD12 to the card to stop the transfer. When errors with
this command occur, the driver can deal with the situations in the following manner:
1. Auto CMD12 response time-out: It is not certain whether the command is accepted
by the card or not. The driver should clear the IRQSTAT[AC12E] bits and resend the
CMD12 until it is accepted by the card.
2. Auto CMD12 response CRC error: Because the card responds to the CMD12, the
card will abort the transfer. The driver may ignore the error and clear the
IRQSTAT[AC12E] bit.
3. Auto CMD12 conflict error or not sent: The command is not sent, so the driver shall
send a CMD12 manually.

53.6.3.6 Card interrupt
The external cards can inform the host controller by means of some special signals. For
the SDIO card, it can be the low level on the DAT[1] line during some special period. For
the CE-ATA card, it can be a pulse on the CMD line to inform the host controller that the
command and its response is finished, and it is possible that some additional external
interrupt behaviors are defined. The SDHC only monitors the DAT[1] line and supports
the SDIO interrupt.
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1704

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

When the SDIO interrupt is captured by the SDHC, and the host system is informed by
the SDHC asserting the SDHC interrupt line, the interrupt service from the host driver is
called.
Because the interrupt factor is controlled by the external card, the interrupt from the
SDIO card must be served before IRQSTAT[CINT] is cleared by written 1. See Card
interrupt handling for the card interrupt handling flow.

53.6.4 Switch function
MMC cards transferring data at bus widths other than 1-bit is a new feature added to the
MMC specifications. The high-speed timing mode for all card devices was also recently
defined in various card specifications. To enable these new features, a switch command
shall be issued by the host driver.
For SDIO cards, the high-speed mode is enabled by writing the EHS bit in the CCCR
register after the SHS bit is confirmed. For SD cards, the high speed mode is queried and
enabled by a CMD6, with the mnemonic symbol as SWITCH_FUNC. For MMC cards
(and CE-ATA over MMC interface), the high-speed mode is queried by a CMD8 and
enabled by a CMD6, with the mnemonic symbol as SWITCH.
The 4-bit and 8-bit bus width of the MMC is also enabled by the SWITCH command, but
with a different argument.
These new functions can also be disabled by a software reset. For SDIO cards it can be
done by setting the RES bit in the CCCR register. For other cards, it can be accomplished
by issuing a CMD0. This method of restoring to the normal mode is not recommended
because a complete identification process is needed before the card is ready for data
transfer.
For the sake of simplicity, the following flowcharts do not show current capability check,
which is recommended in the function switch process.

53.6.6 Fast boot operation
This section discusses fast boot operations.

53.6.6.1 Normal fast boot flow
1. Software needs to configure SYSCTL[INITA] to make sure 74 card clocks are
finished.
2. Software needs to configure MMCBOOT[BOOTEN] to 1,
MMCBOOT[BOOTMODE] to 0, and MMCBOOT[BOOTACK] to select the ack
mode or not. If sending through DMA mode, software needs to configure
MMCBOOT[AUTOSABGEN] to enable automatically stop at block gap feature, and
MMCBOOT[DTOCVACK] to select the ack timeout value according to the sd clk
frequence.
3. Software then needs to configure BLKATTR register to set block size/no.
4. Software needs to configure PROCTL[DTW].
5. Software needs to configure CMDARG to set argument if needed (no need in normal
fast boot).
K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1708

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

6. Software needs to configure XFERTYP register to start the boot process. In Normal
Boot mode, XFERTYP[CMDINX], XFERTYP[CMDTYP], XFERTYP[RSPTYP],
XFERTYP[CICEN], XFERTYP[CCCEN], XFERTYP[AC12EN],
XFERTYP[BCEN] and XFERTYP[DMAEN] are kept default value.
XFERTYP[DPSEL] bit is set to 1, XFERTYP[DTDSEL] is set to 1,
XFERTYP[MSBSEL] is set to 1. Note XFERTYP[DMAEN] must be configured as
0 in polling mode. And if XFERTYP[BCEN] is configured as 1, better to configure
BLKATTR[BLKSIZE] to the max value.
7. When the step 6 is configured, boot process will begin. Software needs to poll the
data buffer ready status to read the data from buffer in time. If boot time-out
happened (ack time out or the first data read time out), Interrupt will be triggered,
and software need to configure MMCBOOT[]BOOTEN] to 0 to disable boot. Thus
will make CMD high, and then after at least 56 clocks, it is ready to begin normal
initialization process.
8. If no time out, software needs to decide the data read is finished and then configure
MMCBOOT[]BOOTEN] to 0 to disable boot. This will make CMD line high and
command completed asserted. After at least 56 clocks, it is ready to begin normal
initialization process.
9. Reset the host and then can begin the normal process.

53.6.6.2 Alternative fast boot flow
1. Software needs to configure init_active bit (system control register bit 27) to make
sure 74 card clocks are finished.
2. Software needs to configure MMCBOOT [BOOTEN] to 1, MMCBOOT
[BOOTMODE] to 1, and MMCBOOT [BOOTACK] to select the ack mode or not. If
sending through DMA mode, it also needs to configure MMCBOOT
[AUTOSABGEN] to enable automatically stop at block gap feature. And needs to
configure MMCBOOT [DTOCVACK] to select the ack timeout value according to
the sd clk frequence.
3. Software then needs to configure BLKATTR register to set block size/no.
4. Software needs to configure PROCTL[DTW].
5. Software needs to configure CMDARG register to set argument to 0xFFFFFFFA.
6. Software needs to configure XFERTYP register to start the boot process by CMD0
with 0xFFFFFFFA argument . In alternative boot, CMDINX, CMDTYP, RSPTYP,
CICEN, CCCEN, AC12EN, BCEN, and DMAEN are kept default value. DPSEL bit

is set to 1, DTDSEL is set to 1, MSBSEL is set to 1. Note DMAEN should be
configured as 0 in polling mode. And if BCEN is configured as 1 in Polling mode, it
is better to configure blk no in Bock Attributes Register to the max value.
7. When step 6 is configured, boot process will begin. Software needs to poll the data
buffer ready status to read the data from buffer in time. If boot time out (ack data
time out in 50ms or data time out in 1s), host will send out the interrupt and software
need to send CMD0 with reset and then configure boot enable bit to 0 to stop this
process. After command completed, configure MMCBOOT[BOOTEN] to 0 to
disable boot. After at least 8 clocks from command completed, card is ready for
identification step.
8. If no time out, software needs to decide when to stop the boot process, and send out
the CMD0 with reset and then after command completed, configure
MMCBOOT[BOOTEN] to stop the process. After 8 clocks from command
completed, slave(card) is ready for identification step.
9. Reset the host and then begin the normal process.

53.6.6.3 Fast boot application case in DMA mode
In the boot application case, because the image destination and the image size are
contained in the beginning of the image, switching DMA parameters on the fly during
MMC fast boot is required.
In fast boot, host can use ADMA2 (advanced DMA2) with two destinations.
The detail flow:
1. Software needs to configure init_active bit (system control register bit 27) to make
sure 74 card clocks are finished.
2. Software needs to configure MMCBOOT[BOOTEN] to 1; and
MMCBOOT[BOOTMODE] to 0 (normal fast boot), to 1(alternative boot); and
MMCBOOT[BOOTACK] to select the ack mode or not. In DMA mode, configure
MMCBOOT[AUTOSABGEN] to 1 for enable automatically stop at block gap
feature. Also configure MMCBOOT[BOOTBLKCNT] to set the VAULE1 (value of
block count that need to trans first time), so that host will stop at block gap when
card block counter is equal to this value. And it needs to configure
MMCBOOT[DTOCVACK] to select the ack timeout value according to the sd clk
frequence.

3. Software then needs to configure BLKATTR register to set block size/no. In DMA
mode, it is better to set block number to the max value(16'hffff).
4. Software needs to configure PROCTL[DTW].
5. Software enables ADMA2 by configuring PROCTL[DMAS].
6. Software need to set at least three pairs ADMA2 descriptor in boot memory (that is,
in IRAM, at least 6 words). The first pair descriptor define the start address (IRAM)
and data length(512byte*VALUE1) of first part boot code. Software also need to set
the second pair descriptor, the second start address (any value that is writable), data
length is suggest to set 1~2 word (record as VAULE2). Note: the second couple desc
also transfer useful data even at lease 1 word. Because our ADMA2 can't support 0
data_length data transfer descriptor.
7. Software needs to configure CMDARG register to set argument to 0xFFFFFFFA in
alternative fast boot, and doesn't need to be set in normal fast boot.
8. Software needs to configure XFERTYP register to start the boot process .
XFERTYP[CMDINX], XFERTYP[CMDTYP], XFERTYP[RSPTYP],
XFERTYP[CICEN], XFERTYP[CCCEN], XFERTYP[AC12EN],
XFERTYP[BCEN], and XFERTYP[DMAEN] are kept at default value.
XFERTYP[DPSEL] bit is set to 1, XFERTYP[DTDSEL] is set to 1,
XFERTYP[MSBSEL] is set to 1. XFERTYP[DMAEN] is configured as 1 in DMA
mode. And if XFERTYP[BCEN] is configured as 1, better to configure blk no in
BLKATTR register to the max value.
9. When step 8 is configured, boot process will begin, the first VAULE1 block number
data has transfer. Software needs to poll IRQSTAT[TC] bit to determine first transfer
is end. Also software needs to poll IRQSTAT[BGE] bit to determine if first transfer
stop at block gap.
10. When IRQSTAT[TC] and IRQSTAT[BGE] bits are 1, . SW can analyzes the first
code of VAULE1 block, initializes the new memory device, if required, and sets the
third pair of descriptors to define the start address and length of the remaining part of
boot code (VAULE3 the remain boot code block). Remember set the last descriptor
with END.
11. Software needs to configure MMCBOOT register (offset 0xc4) again. Set
MMCBOOT[BOOTEN] bit to 1; and MMCBOOT[BOOTMODE] bit to 0 (normal
fast boot), to 1 (alternative boot); and MMCBOOT[BOOTACK] bit to select the ack
mode or not. In DMA mode, configure MMCBOOT[AUTOSABGEN] bit to 1 for
enable automatically stop at block gap feature. Also configure
MMCBOOT[BOOTBLKCNT] bit to set the (VAULE1+1+VAULE3), so that host

will stop at block gap when card block counter is equal to this value. And need to
configure MMCBOOT[DTOCVACK] bit to select the ack timeout value according
to the sd clk frequence.
12. Software needs to clear IRQSTAT[TC] and IRQSTAT[BGE] bit. And software need
to clear PROCTL[SABGREQ], and set PROCTL[CREQ] to 1 to resume the data
transfer. Host will transfer the VALUE2 and VAULE3 data to the destination that is
set by descriptor.
13. Software needs to poll IRQSTAT[BGE] bit to determine if the fast boot is over.
Note
1. When ADMA boot flow is started, for SDHC, it is like a
normal ADMA read operation. So setting ADMA2
descriptor as the normal ADMA2 transfer.
2. Need a few words length memory to keep descriptor.
3. For the 1~2 words data in second descriptor setting, it is the
useful data, so software need to deal the data due to the
application case.

53.6.7 Commands for MMC/SD/SDIO/CE-ATA
The following table lists the commands for the MMC/SD/SDIO/CE-ATA cards.
See the corresponding specifications for more details about the command information.
There are four kinds of commands defined to control the Multimediacard:
• Broadcast commands (bc), no response
• Broadcast commands with response (bcr), response from all cards simultaneously
• Addressed (point-to-point) commands (ac), no data transfer on the DAT
• Addressed (point-to-point) data transfer commands (adtc)

53.7 Software restrictions
Software for the SDHC must observe the following restrictions.

53.7.1 Initialization active
The driver cannot set SYSCTL[INITA] when any of the command line or data lines is
active, so the driver must ensure both PRSSTAT[CDIHB] and PRSSTAT[CIHB] bits are
cleared. To auto clear SYSCTL[INITA], SYSCTL[SDCLKEN] must be 1, otherwise no
clocks can go out to the card and SYSCTL[INITA] will never clear.

53.7.2 Software polling procedure
For polling read or write, when the software begins a buffer read or write, it must access
exactly the number of times as the values set in the watermark level register. Moreover, if
the block size is not the times of the value in watermark level register, read and write
respectively, the software must access exactly the remained number of words at the end
of each block.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1718

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 53 Secured digital host controller (SDHC)

For example, for read operation, if the WML[RDWML] is 4, indicating the watermark
level is 16 bytes, block size is 40 bytes, and the block number is 2, then the access times
for the burst sequence in the whole transfer process must be 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 2.

53.7.3 Suspend operation
To suspend the data transfer, the software must inform SDHC that the suspend command
is successfully accepted. To achieve this, after the suspend command is accepted by the
SDIO card, software must send another normal command marked as suspend command
(XFERTYP[CMDTYP] bits set as 01) to inform SDHC that the transfer is suspended.
If software needs resume the suspended transfer, it should read the value in
BLKATTR[BLKCNT] to save the remained number of blocks before sending the normal
command marked as suspend, otherwise on sending such suspend command, SDHC will
regard the current transfer as aborted and change BLKATTR[BLKCNT] to its original
value, instead of keeping the remained number of blocks.

53.7.4 Data length setting
For either ADMA (ADMA1 or ADMA2) transfer, the data in the data buffer must be
word aligned, so the data length set in the descriptor must be times of 4.

53.7.5 (A)DMA address setting
To configure ADMA1/ADMA2/DMA address register, when TC[IRQSTAT] is set, the
register will always update itself with the internal address value to support dynamic
address synchronization, so software must ensure that TC[IRQSTAT] is cleared prior to
configuring ADMA1/ADMA2/DMA address register.

53.7.6 Data port access
Data port does not support parallel access. For example, during an external DMA access,
it is not allowed to write any data to the data port by CPU; or during a CPU read
operation, it is also prohibited to write any data to the data port, by either CPU or external
DMA. Otherwise the data would be corrupted inside the SDHC buffer.

Software restrictions

53.7.7 Change clock frequency
SDHC does not automatically gates off the card clock when the host driver changes the
clock frequency. To remove possible glitch on the card clock, clear
SYSCTL[SDCLKEN] when changing clock divisor value and set SYSCTL[SDCLKEN]
to 1 after PRSSTAT[SDSTB] is 1 again.

53.7.8 Multi-block read
For predefined multi-block read operation, that is, the number of blocks to read has been
defined by previous CMD23 for MMC, or predefined number of blocks in CMD53 for
SDIO/SDCombo, or whatever multi-block read without abort command at card side, an
abort command, either automatic or manual CMD12/CMD52, is still required by SDHC
after the pre-defined number of blocks are done, to drive the internal start response
timeout. Manually sending an abort command with XFERTYP[RSPTYP] both bits
cleared is recommended.

54.1.3 Modes of operation
The module operates in these MCU power modes: Run mode, stop modes, low-leakage
modes, and Debug mode.

54.1.3.1 Run mode
In Run mode, the SAI transmitter and receiver operate normally.

54.1.3.2 Stop modes
In Stop mode, the SAI transmitter and/or receiver can continue operating provided the
appropriate Stop Enable bit is set (TCSR[STOPE] and/or RCSR[STOPE], respectively),
and provided the transmitter and/or receiver is/are using an externally generated bit clock
or an Audio Master Clock that remains operating in Stop mode. The SAI transmitter and/
or receiver can generate an asynchronous interrupt to wake the CPU from Stop mode.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 54 Integrated Interchip Sound (I2S) / Synchronous Audio Interface (SAI)

In Stop mode, if the Transmitter Stop Enable (TCSR[STOPE]) bit is clear, the transmitter
is disabled after completing the current transmit frame, and, if the Receiver Stop Enable
(RCSR[STOPE]) bit is clear, the receiver is disabled after completing the current receive
frame. Entry into Stop mode is prevented–not acknowledged–while waiting for the
transmitter and receiver to be disabled at the end of the current frame.

54.1.3.3 Low-leakage modes
When entering low-leakage modes, the Stop Enable (TCSR[STOPE] and
RCSR[STOPE]) bits are ignored and the SAI is disabled after completing the current
transmit and receive Frames. Entry into stop mode is prevented (not acknowledged)
while waiting for the transmitter and receiver to be disabled at the end of the current
frame.

54.1.3.4 Debug mode
In Debug mode, the SAI transmitter and/or receiver can continue operating provided the
Debug Enable bit is set. When TCSR[DBGE] or RCSR[DBGE] bit is clear and Debug
mode is entered, the SAI is disabled after completing the current transmit or receive
frame. The transmitter and receiver bit clocks are not affected by Debug mode.

Description
Synchronous Mode
Configures between asynchronous and synchronous modes of operation. When configured for a
synchronous mode of operation, the receiver or other SAI peripheral must be configured for asynchronous
operation.

BCS

Asynchronous mode.
Synchronous with receiver.
Synchronous with another SAI transmitter.
Synchronous with another SAI receiver.

Bit Clock Swap
This field swaps the bit clock used by the transmitter. When the transmitter is configured in asynchronous
mode and this bit is set, the transmitter is clocked by the receiver bit clock (SAI_RX_BCLK). This allows
the transmitter and receiver to share the same bit clock, but the transmitter continues to use the transmit
frame sync (SAI_TX_SYNC).
When the transmitter is configured in synchronous mode, the transmitter BCS field and receiver BCS field
must be set to the same value. When both are set, the transmitter and receiver are both clocked by the
transmitter bit clock (SAI_TX_BCLK) but use the receiver frame sync (SAI_RX_SYNC).
This field has no effect when synchronous to another SAI peripheral.
0

28
BCI

Use the normal bit clock source.
Swap the bit clock source.

Bit Clock Input
When this field is set and using an internally generated bit clock in either synchronous or asynchronous
mode, the bit clock actually used by the transmitter is delayed by the pad output delay (the transmitter is
clocked by the pad input as if the clock was externally generated). This has the effect of decreasing the
data input setup time, but increasing the data output valid time.
The slave mode timing from the datasheet should be used for the transmitter when this bit is set. In
synchronous mode, this bit allows the transmitter to use the slave mode timing from the datasheet, while
the receiver uses the master mode timing. This field has no effect when configured for an externally
generated bit clock or when synchronous to another SAI peripheral .

54.3.8 SAI Transmit FIFO Register (I2Sx_TFRn)
The MSB of the read and write pointers is used to distinguish between FIFO full and
empty conditions. If the read and write pointers are identical, then the FIFO is empty. If
the read and write pointers are identical except for the MSB, then the FIFO is full.

Description
Synchronous Mode
Configures between asynchronous and synchronous modes of operation. When configured for a
synchronous mode of operation, the transmitter or other SAI peripheral must be configured for
asynchronous operation.

BCS

Asynchronous mode.
Synchronous with transmitter.
Synchronous with another SAI receiver.
Synchronous with another SAI transmitter.

Bit Clock Swap
This field swaps the bit clock used by the receiver. When the receiver is configured in asynchronous mode
and this bit is set, the receiver is clocked by the transmitter bit clock (SAI_TX_BCLK). This allows the
transmitter and receiver to share the same bit clock, but the receiver continues to use the receiver frame
sync (SAI_RX_SYNC).
When the receiver is configured in synchronous mode, the transmitter BCS field and receiver BCS field
must be set to the same value. When both are set, the transmitter and receiver are both clocked by the
receiver bit clock (SAI_RX_BCLK) but use the transmitter frame sync (SAI_TX_SYNC).
This field has no effect when synchronous to another SAI peripheral.
0
1

28
BCI

Use the normal bit clock source.
Swap the bit clock source.

Bit Clock Input
When this field is set and using an internally generated bit clock in either synchronous or asynchronous
mode, the bit clock actually used by the receiver is delayed by the pad output delay (the receiver is
clocked by the pad input as if the clock was externally generated). This has the effect of decreasing the
data input setup time, but increasing the data output valid time.
The slave mode timing from the datasheet should be used for the receiver when this bit is set. In
synchronous mode, this bit allows the receiver to use the slave mode timing from the datasheet, while the
transmitter uses the master mode timing. This field has no effect when configured for an externally
generated bit clock or when synchronous to another SAI peripheral .

54.4 Functional description
This section provides a complete functional description of the block.

54.4.1 SAI clocking
The SAI clocks include:
• The audio master clock
• The bit clock
• The bus clock

54.4.1.1 Audio master clock
The audio master clock is used to generate the bit clock when the receiver or transmitter
is configured for an internally generated bit clock. The transmitter and receiver can
independently select between the bus clock and up to three audio master clocks to
generate the bit clock.
Each SAI peripheral can control the input clock selection, pin direction and divide ratio
of one audio master clock. The input clock selection and pin direction cannot be altered if
an SAI module using that audio master clock has been enabled. The MCLK divide ratio
can be altered while an SAI is using that master clock, although the change in the divide
ratio takes several cycles. MCR[DUF] can be polled to determine when the divide ratio
change has completed.
The audio master clock generation and selection is chip-specific. Refer to chip-specific
clocking information about how the audio master clocks are generated. A typical
implementation appears in the following figure.

Figure 54-58. SAI master clock generation

The MCLK fractional clock divider uses both clock edges from the input clock to
generate a divided down clock that will approximate the output frequency, but without
creating any new clock edges. Configuring FRACT and DIVIDE to the same value will
result in a divide by 1 clock, while configuring FRACT higher than DIVIDE is not
supported. The duty cycle can range from 66/33 when FRACT is set to one less than
DIVIDE down to 50/50 for integer divide ratios, and will approach 50/50 for large noninteger divide ratios. There is no cycle to cycle jitter or duty cycle variance when the
divide ratio is an integer or half integer, otherwise the divider output will oscillate
between the two divided frequencies that are the closest integer or half integer divisors of
the divider input clock frequency. The maximum jitter is therefore equal to half the
divider input clock period, since both edges of the input clock are used in generating the
divided clock.

54.4.1.2 Bit clock
The SAI transmitter and receiver support asynchronous free-running bit clocks that can
be generated internally from an audio master clock or supplied externally. There is also
the option for synchronous bit clock and frame sync operation between the receiver and
transmitter or between multiple SAI peripherals.
Externally generated bit clocks must be:
• Enabled before the SAI transmitter or receiver is enabled
• Disabled after the SAI transmitter or receiver is disabled and completes its current
frames
If the SAI transmitter or receiver is using an externally generated bit clock in
asynchronous mode and that bit clock is generated by an SAI that is disabled in stop
mode, then the transmitter or receiver should be disabled by software before entering stop
mode. This issue does not apply when the transmitter or receiver is in a synchronous
mode because all synchronous SAIs are enabled and disabled simultaneously.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 54 Integrated Interchip Sound (I2S) / Synchronous Audio Interface (SAI)

54.4.1.3 Bus clock
The bus clock is used by the control and configuration registers and to generate
synchronous interrupts and DMA requests.

54.4.2 SAI resets
The SAI is asynchronously reset on system reset. The SAI has a software reset and a
FIFO reset.

54.4.2.1 Software reset
The SAI transmitter includes a software reset that resets all transmitter internal logic,
including the bit clock generation, status flags, and FIFO pointers. It does not reset the
configuration registers. The software reset remains asserted until cleared by software.
The SAI receiver includes a software reset that resets all receiver internal logic, including
the bit clock generation, status flags and FIFO pointers. It does not reset the configuration
registers. The software reset remains asserted until cleared by software.

54.4.2.2 FIFO reset
The SAI transmitter includes a FIFO reset that synchronizes the FIFO write pointer to the
same value as the FIFO read pointer. This empties the FIFO contents and is to be used
after TCSR[FEF] is set, and before the FIFO is re-initialized and TCSR[FEF] is cleared.
The FIFO reset is asserted for one cycle only.
The SAI receiver includes a FIFO reset that synchronizes the FIFO read pointer to the
same value as the FIFO write pointer. This empties the FIFO contents and is to be used
after the RCSR[FEF] is set and any remaining data has been read from the FIFO, and
before the RCSR[FEF] is cleared. The FIFO reset is asserted for one cycle only.

54.4.3 Synchronous modes
The SAI transmitter and receiver can operate synchronously to each other or
synchronously to other SAI peripherals.

1749

Functional description

54.4.3.1 Synchronous mode
The SAI transmitter and receiver can be configured to operate with synchronous bit clock
and frame sync.
If the transmitter bit clock and frame sync are to be used by both the transmitter and
receiver:
• The transmitter must be configured for asynchronous operation and the receiver for
synchronous operation.
• In synchronous mode, the receiver is enabled only when both the transmitter and
receiver are enabled.
• It is recommended that the transmitter is the last enabled and the first disabled.
If the receiver bit clock and frame sync are to be used by both the transmitter and
receiver:
• The receiver must be configured for asynchronous operation and the transmitter for
synchronous operation.
• In synchronous mode, the transmitter is enabled only when both the receiver and
transmitter are both enabled.
• It is recommended that the receiver is the last enabled and the first disabled.
When operating in synchronous mode, only the bit clock, frame sync, and transmitter/
receiver enable are shared. The transmitter and receiver otherwise operate independently,
although configuration registers must be configured consistently across both the
transmitter and receiver.

54.4.3.2 Multiple SAI Synchronous mode
Synchronous operation between multiple SAI peripherals is not supported on all devices.
This mode requires the source of the bit clock and frame sync to be configured for
asynchronous operation and the remaining users of the bit clock and frame sync to be
configured for synchronous operation.
Synchronous operation between multiple SAI transmitters or receivers also requires the
source of the bit clock and frame sync to be enabled for any of the synchronous
transmitters or receivers to also be enabled. It is recommended that the source of the bit
clock and frame sync is the last enabled and the first disabled.

K64 Sub-Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2, January 2014
1750

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Chapter 54 Integrated Interchip Sound (I2S) / Synchronous Audio Interface (SAI)

When operating in synchronous mode, only the bit clock, frame sync, and transmitter/
receiver enable are shared. The separate SAI peripherals otherwise operate
independently, although configuration registers must be configured consistently across
both the transmitter and receiver.

54.4.4 Frame sync configuration
When enabled, the SAI continuously transmits and/or receives frames of data. Each
frame consists of a fixed number of words and each word consists of a fixed number of
bits. Within each frame, any given word can be masked causing the receiver to ignore
that word and the transmitter to tri-state for the duration of that word.
The frame sync signal is used to indicate the start of each frame. A valid frame sync
requires a rising edge (if active high) or falling edge (if active low) to be detected and the
transmitter or receiver cannot be busy with a previous frame. A valid frame sync is also
ignored (slave mode) or not generated (master mode) for the first four bit clock cycles
after enabling the transmitter or receiver.
The transmitter and receiver frame sync can be configured independently with any of the
following options:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Externally generated or internally generated
Active high or active low
Assert with the first bit in frame or asserts one bit early
Assert for a duration between 1 bit clock and the first word length
Frame length from 1 to 32 words per frame
Word length to support 8 to 32 bits per word
• First word length and remaining word lengths can be configured separately
• Words can be configured to transmit/receive MSB first or LSB first

These configuration options cannot be changed after the SAI transmitter or receiver is
enabled.

54.4.5 Data FIFO
Each transmit and receive channel includes a FIFO of size 8 × 32-bit. The FIFO data is
accessed using the SAI Transmit/Receive Data Registers.

Functional description

54.4.5.1 Data alignment
Data in the FIFO can be aligned anywhere within the 32-bit wide register through the use
of the First Bit Shifted configuration field, which selects the bit index (between 31 and 0)
of the first bit shifted.
Examples of supported data alignment and the required First Bit Shifted configuration are
illustrated in Figure 54-59 for LSB First configurations and Figure 54-60 for MSB First
configurations.

54.4.5.2 FIFO pointers
When writing to a TDR, the WFP of the corresponding TFR increments after each valid
write. The SAI supports 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit writes to the TDR and the FIFO pointer
will increment after each individual write. Note that 8-bit writes should only be used
when transmitting up to 8-bit data and 16-bit writes should only be used when
transmitting up to 16-bit data.
Writes to a TDR are ignored if the corresponding bit of TCR3[TCE] is clear or if the
FIFO is full. If the Transmit FIFO is empty, the TDR must be written at least three bit
clocks before the start of the next unmasked word to avoid a FIFO underrun.
When reading an RDR, the RFP of the corresponding RFR increments after each valid
read. The SAI supports 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit reads from the RDR and the FIFO pointer
will increment after each individual read. Note that 8-bit reads should only be used when
receiving up to 8-bit data and 16-bit reads should only be used when receiving up to 16bit data.
Reads from an RDR are ignored if the corresponding bit of RCR3[RCE] is clear or if the
FIFO is empty. If the Receive FIFO is full, the RDR must be read at least three bit clocks
before the end of an unmasked word to avoid a FIFO overrun.

54.4.6 Word mask register
The SAI transmitter and receiver each contain a word mask register, namely TMR and
RMR, that can be used to mask any word in the frame. Because the word mask register is
double buffered, software can update it before the end of each frame to mask a particular
word in the next frame.
The TMR causes the Transmit Data pin to be tri-stated for the length of each selected
word and the transmit FIFO is not read for masked words.
The RMR causes the received data for each selected word to be discarded and not written
to the receive FIFO.

54.4.7 Interrupts and DMA requests
The SAI transmitter and receiver generate separate interrupts and separate DMA requests,
but support the same status flags. Asynchronous versions of the transmitter and receiver
interrupts are generated to wake up the CPU from stop mode.

Functional description

54.4.7.1 FIFO request flag
The FIFO request flag is set based on the number of entries in the FIFO and the FIFO
watermark configuration.
The transmit FIFO request flag is set when the number of entries in any of the enabled
transmit FIFOs is less than or equal to the transmit FIFO watermark configuration and is
cleared when the number of entries in each enabled transmit FIFO is greater than the
transmit FIFO watermark configuration.
The receive FIFO request flag is set when the number of entries in any of the enabled
receive FIFOs is greater than the receive FIFO watermark configuration and is cleared
when the number of entries in each enabled receive FIFO is less than or equal to the
receive FIFO watermark configuration.
The FIFO request flag can generate an interrupt or a DMA request.

54.4.7.2 FIFO warning flag
The FIFO warning flag is set based on the number of entries in the FIFO.
The transmit warning flag is set when the number of entries in any of the enabled
transmit FIFOs is empty and is cleared when the number of entries in each enabled
transmit FIFO is not empty.
The receive warning flag is set when the number of entries in any of the enabled receive
FIFOs is full and is cleared when the number of entries in each enabled receive FIFO is
not full.
The FIFO warning flag can generate an Interrupt or a DMA request.

54.4.7.3 FIFO error flag
The transmit FIFO error flag is set when the any of the enabled transmit FIFOs
underflow. After it is set, all enabled transmit channels repeat the last valid word read
from the transmit FIFO until TCSR[FEF] is cleared and the next transmit frame starts.
All enabled transmit FIFOs must be reset and initialized with new data before
TCSR[FEF] is cleared.
RCSR[FEF] is set when the any of the enabled receive FIFOs overflow. After it is set, all
enabled receive channels discard received data until RCSR[FEF] is cleared and the next
next receive frame starts. All enabled receive FIFOs should be emptied before
RCSR[FEF] is cleared.

Chapter 54 Integrated Interchip Sound (I2S) / Synchronous Audio Interface (SAI)

The FIFO error flag can generate only an interrupt.

54.4.7.4 Sync error flag
The sync error flag, TCSR[SEF] or RCSR[SEF], is set when configured for an externally
generated frame sync and the external frame sync asserts when the transmitter or receiver
is busy with the previous frame. The external frame sync assertion is ignored and the
sync error flag is set. When the sync error flag is set, the transmitter or receiver continues
checking for frame sync assertion when idle or at the end of each frame.
The sync error flag can generate an interrupt only.

54.4.7.5 Word start flag
The word start flag is set at the start of the second bit clock for the selected word, as
configured by the Word Flag register field.
The word start flag can generate an interrupt only.

General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
55.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The general-purpose input and output (GPIO) module communicates to the processor
core via a zero wait state interface for maximum pin performance. The GPIO registers
support 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit accesses.
The GPIO data direction and output data registers control the direction and output data of
each pin when the pin is configured for the GPIO function. The GPIO input data register
displays the logic value on each pin when the pin is configured for any digital function,
provided the corresponding Port Control and Interrupt module for that pin is enabled.
Efficient bit manipulation of the general-purpose outputs is supported through the
addition of set, clear, and toggle write-only registers for each port output data register.

55.1.1 Features
• Features of the GPIO module include:
• Port Data Input register visible in all digital pin-multiplexing modes
• Port Data Input register with corresponding set/clear/toggle registers
• Port Data Direction register
• Zero wait state access to GPIO registers through IOPORT
NOTE
The GPIO module is clocked by system clock.

55.3 Functional description
55.3.1 General-purpose input
The logic state of each pin is available via the Port Data Input registers, provided the pin
is configured for a digital function and the corresponding Port Control and Interrupt
module is enabled.
The Port Data Input registers return the synchronized pin state after any enabled digital
filter in the Port Control and Interrupt module. The input pin synchronizers are shared
with the Port Control and Interrupt module, so that if the corresponding Port Control and
Interrupt module is disabled, then synchronizers are also disabled. This reduces power
consumption when a port is not required for general-purpose input functionality.

55.3.2 General-purpose output
The logic state of each pin can be controlled via the port data output registers and port
data direction registers, provided the pin is configured for the GPIO function. The
following table depicts the conditions for a pin to be configured as input/output.

Then

A pin is configured for the GPIO function and the

A pin is configured for the GPIO function and the
corresponding port data direction register bit is set.

The pin is configured as an output and and the logic state of
the pin is equal to the corresponding port data output register.

To facilitate efficient bit manipulation on the general-purpose outputs, pin data set, pin
data clear, and pin data toggle registers exist to allow one or more outputs within one port
to be set, cleared, or toggled from a single register write.

JTAG Controller (JTAGC)
56.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The JTAGC block provides the means to test chip functionality and connectivity while
remaining transparent to system logic when not in test mode. Testing is performed via a
boundary scan technique, as defined in the IEEE 1149.1-2001 standard. All data input to
and output from the JTAGC block is communicated in serial format.

56.1.1 Block diagram
The following is a simplified block diagram of the JTAG Controller (JTAGC) block.
Refer to the chip-specific configuration information as well as Register description for
more information about the JTAGC registers.

56.1.2 Features
The JTAGC block is compliant with the IEEE 1149.1-2001 standard, and supports the
following features:
• IEEE 1149.1-2001 Test Access Port (TAP) interface
• 4 pins (TDI, TMS, TCK, and TDO)
• Instruction register that supports several IEEE 1149.1-2001 defined instructions as
well as several public and private device-specific instructions. Refer to Table 56-3
for a list of supported instructions.
• Bypass register, boundary scan register, and device identification register.
• TAP controller state machine that controls the operation of the data registers,
instruction register and associated circuitry.

56.1.3 Modes of operation
The JTAGC block uses a power-on reset indication as its primary reset signals. Several
IEEE 1149.1-2001 defined test modes are supported, as well as a bypass mode.

Chapter 56 JTAG Controller (JTAGC)

56.1.3.1 Reset
The JTAGC block is placed in reset when either power-on reset is asserted, or the TMS
input is held high for enough consecutive rising edges of TCK to sequence the TAP
controller state machine into the Test-Logic-Reset state. Holding TMS high for five
consecutive rising edges of TCK guarantees entry into the Test-Logic-Reset state
regardless of the current TAP controller state. Asserting power-on reset results in
asynchronous entry into the reset state. While in reset, the following actions occur:
• The TAP controller is forced into the Test-Logic-Reset state, thereby disabling the
test logic and allowing normal operation of the on-chip system logic to continue
unhindered
• The instruction register is loaded with the IDCODE instruction

56.1.3.2 IEEE 1149.1-2001 defined test modes
The JTAGC block supports several IEEE 1149.1-2001 defined test modes. A test mode is
selected by loading the appropriate instruction into the instruction register while the
JTAGC is enabled. Supported test instructions include EXTEST, HIGHZ, CLAMP,
SAMPLE and SAMPLE/PRELOAD. Each instruction defines the set of data register(s)
that may operate and interact with the on-chip system logic while the instruction is
current. Only one test data register path is enabled to shift data between TDI and TDO for
each instruction.
The boundary scan register is enabled for serial access between TDI and TDO when the
EXTEST, SAMPLE or SAMPLE/PRELOAD instructions are active. The single-bit
bypass register shift stage is enabled for serial access between TDI and TDO when the
BYPASS, HIGHZ, CLAMP or reserved instructions are active. The functionality of each
test mode is explained in more detail in JTAGC block instructions.

56.1.3.3 Bypass mode
When no test operation is required, the BYPASS instruction can be loaded to place the
JTAGC block into bypass mode. While in bypass mode, the single-bit bypass shift
register is used to provide a minimum-length serial path to shift data between TDI and
TDO.

implemented at the TDO pad for use when JTAGC is inactive.

56.2.1 TCK—Test clock input
Test Clock Input (TCK) is an input pin used to synchronize the test logic and control
register access through the TAP.

56.2.2 TDI—Test data input
Test Data Input (TDI) is an input pin that receives serial test instructions and data. TDI is
sampled on the rising edge of TCK.

56.2.3 TDO—Test data output
Test Data Output (TDO) is an output pin that transmits serial output for test instructions
and data. TDO is three-stateable and is actively driven only in the Shift-IR and Shift-DR
states of the TAP controller state machine, which is described in TAP controller state
machine.

56.2.4 TMS—Test mode select
Test Mode Select (TMS) is an input pin used to sequence the IEEE 1149.1-2001 test
control state machine. TMS is sampled on the rising edge of TCK.

56.3 Register description
This section provides a detailed description of the JTAGC block registers accessible
through the TAP interface, including data registers and the instruction register. Individual
bit-level descriptions and reset states of each register are included. These registers are not
memory-mapped and can only be accessed through the TAP.

56.3.1 Instruction register
The JTAGC block uses a 4-bit instruction register as shown in the following figure. The
instruction register allows instructions to be loaded into the block to select the test to be
performed or the test data register to be accessed or both. Instructions are shifted in
through TDI while the TAP controller is in the Shift-IR state, and latched on the falling
edge of TCK in the Update-IR state. The latched instruction value can only be changed in
the Update-IR and Test-Logic-Reset TAP controller states. Synchronous entry into the
Test-Logic-Reset state results in the IDCODE instruction being loaded on the falling
edge of TCK. Asynchronous entry into the Test-Logic-Reset state results in asynchronous
loading of the IDCODE instruction. During the Capture-IR TAP controller state, the
instruction shift register is loaded with the value 0001b , making this value the register's
read value when the TAP controller is sequenced into the Shift-IR state.

56.3.2 Bypass register
The bypass register is a single-bit shift register path selected for serial data transfer
between TDI and TDO when the BYPASS, CLAMP, HIGHZ or reserve instructions are
active. After entry into the Capture-DR state, the single-bit shift register is set to a logic
0. Therefore, the first bit shifted out after selecting the bypass register is always a logic 0.

of the part to be determined through the TAP. The device identification register is
selected for serial data transfer between TDI and TDO when the IDCODE instruction is
active. Entry into the Capture-DR state while the device identification register is selected
loads the IDCODE into the shift register to be shifted out on TDO in the Shift-DR state.
No action occurs in the Update-DR state.

56.3.4 Boundary scan register
The boundary scan register is connected between TDI and TDO when the EXTEST,
SAMPLE or SAMPLE/PRELOAD instructions are active. It is used to capture input pin
data, force fixed values on output pins, and select a logic value and direction for
bidirectional pins. Each bit of the boundary scan register represents a separate boundary
scan register cell, as described in the IEEE 1149.1-2001 standard and discussed in
Boundary scan. The size of the boundary scan register and bit ordering is devicedependent and can be found in the device BSDL file.

56.4 Functional description
This section explains the JTAGC functional description.

56.4.1 JTAGC reset configuration
While in reset, the TAP controller is forced into the Test-Logic-Reset state, thus disabling
the test logic and allowing normal operation of the on-chip system logic. In addition, the
instruction register is loaded with the IDCODE instruction.

56.4.2 IEEE 1149.1-2001 (JTAG) Test Access Port
The JTAGC block uses the IEEE 1149.1-2001 TAP for accessing registers. This port can
be shared with other TAP controllers on the MCU. Ownership of the port is determined
by the value of the currently loaded instruction.
Data is shifted between TDI and TDO though the selected register starting with the least
significant bit, as illustrated in the following figure. This applies for the instruction
register, test data registers, and the bypass register.

56.4.3 TAP controller state machine
The TAP controller is a synchronous state machine that interprets the sequence of logical
values on the TMS pin. The following figure shows the machine's states. The value
shown next to each state is the value of the TMS signal sampled on the rising edge of the
TCK signal. As the following figure shows, holding TMS at logic 1 while clocking TCK
through a sufficient number of rising edges also causes the state machine to enter the
Test-Logic-Reset state.

Chapter 56 JTAG Controller (JTAGC)

56.4.3.2 Selecting an IEEE 1149.1-2001 register
Access to the JTAGC data registers is achieved by loading the instruction register with
any of the JTAGC block instructions while the JTAGC is enabled. Instructions are shifted
in via the Select-IR-Scan path and loaded in the Update-IR state. At this point, all data
register access is performed via the Select-DR-Scan path.
The Select-DR-Scan path is used to read or write the register data by shifting in the data
(LSB first) during the Shift-DR state. When reading a register, the register value is loaded
into the IEEE 1149.1-2001 shifter during the Capture-DR state. When writing a register,
the value is loaded from the IEEE 1149.1-2001 shifter to the register during the UpdateDR state. When reading a register, there is no requirement to shift out the entire register
contents. Shifting may be terminated once the required number of bits have been
acquired.

56.4.4 JTAGC block instructions
The JTAGC block implements the IEEE 1149.1-2001 defined instructions listed in the
following table. This section gives an overview of each instruction; refer to the IEEE
1149.1-2001 standard for more details. All undefined opcodes are reserved.

NOTE: Execution of this instruction asserts functional reset.

56.4.4.1 IDCODE instruction
IDCODE selects the 32-bit device identification register as the shift path between TDI
and TDO. This instruction allows interrogation of the MCU to determine its version
number and other part identification data. IDCODE is the instruction placed into the
instruction register when the JTAGC block is reset.

56.4.4.2 SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction
The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction has two functions:
• The SAMPLE portion of the instruction obtains a sample of the system data and
control signals present at the MCU input pins and just before the boundary scan
register cells at the output pins. This sampling occurs on the rising edge of TCK in
the Capture-DR state when the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction is active. The
sampled data is viewed by shifting it through the boundary scan register to the TDO
output during the Shift-DR state. Both the data capture and the shift operation are
transparent to system operation.
• The PRELOAD portion of the instruction initializes the boundary scan register cells
before selecting the EXTEST or CLAMP instructions to perform boundary scan
tests. This is achieved by shifting in initialization data to the boundary scan register
during the Shift-DR state. The initialization data is transferred to the parallel outputs
of the boundary scan register cells on the falling edge of TCK in the Update-DR
state. The data is applied to the external output pins by the EXTEST or CLAMP
instruction. System operation is not affected.

Chapter 56 JTAG Controller (JTAGC)

56.4.4.3 SAMPLE instruction
The SAMPLE instruction obtains a sample of the system data and control signals present
at the MCU input pins and just before the boundary scan register cells at the output pins.
This sampling occurs on the rising edge of TCK in the Capture-DR state when the
SAMPLE instruction is active. The sampled data is viewed by shifting it through the
boundary scan register to the TDO output during the Shift-DR state. There is no defined
action in the Update-DR state. Both the data capture and the shift operation are
transparent to system operation.

56.4.4.4 EXTEST External test instruction
EXTEST selects the boundary scan register as the shift path between TDI and TDO. It
allows testing of off-chip circuitry and board-level interconnections by driving preloaded
data contained in the boundary scan register onto the system output pins. Typically, the
preloaded data is loaded into the boundary scan register using the SAMPLE/PRELOAD
instruction before the selection of EXTEST. EXTEST asserts the internal system reset for
the MCU to force a predictable internal state while performing external boundary scan
operations.

56.4.4.5 HIGHZ instruction
HIGHZ selects the bypass register as the shift path between TDI and TDO. While
HIGHZ is active all output drivers are placed in an inactive drive state (e.g., high
impedance). HIGHZ also asserts the internal system reset for the MCU to force a
predictable internal state.

56.4.4.6 CLAMP instruction
CLAMP allows the state of signals driven from MCU pins to be determined from the
boundary scan register while the bypass register is selected as the serial path between
TDI and TDO. CLAMP enhances test efficiency by reducing the overall shift path to a
single bit (the bypass register) while conducting an EXTEST type of instruction through
the boundary scan register. CLAMP also asserts the internal system reset for the MCU to
force a predictable internal state.

Initialization/Application information

56.4.4.7 BYPASS instruction
BYPASS selects the bypass register, creating a single-bit shift register path between TDI
and TDO. BYPASS enhances test efficiency by reducing the overall shift path when no
test operation of the MCU is required. This allows more rapid movement of test data to
and from other components on a board that are required to perform test functions. While
the BYPASS instruction is active the system logic operates normally.

56.4.5 Boundary scan
The boundary scan technique allows signals at component boundaries to be controlled
and observed through the shift-register stage associated with each pad. Each stage is part
of a larger boundary scan register cell, and cells for each pad are interconnected serially
to form a shift-register chain around the border of the design. The boundary scan register
consists of this shift-register chain, and is connected between TDI and TDO when the
EXTEST, SAMPLE, or SAMPLE/PRELOAD instructions are loaded. The shift-register
chain contains a serial input and serial output, as well as clock and control signals.

56.5 Initialization/Application information
The test logic is a static logic design, and TCK can be stopped in either a high or low
state without loss of data. However, the system clock is not synchronized to TCK
internally. Any mixed operation using both the test logic and the system functional logic
requires external synchronization.
To initialize the JTAGC block and enable access to registers, the following sequence is
required:
1. Place the JTAGC in reset through TAP controller state machine transitions controlled
by TMS
2. Load the appropriate instruction for the test or action to be performed
