Hardware Description
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad includes a TM4C123GH6PM microcontroller and an integrated ICDI as well
as a range of useful peripheral features (as the block diagram in Figure 2-1 shows). This chapter
describes how these peripherals operate and interface to the microcontroller.
Figure 2-1. Tiva C Series LaunchPad Evaluation Board Block Diagram
2.1 Functional Description
2.1.1 Microcontroller
The TM4C123GH6PM is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4-based microcontroller with 256-kB Flash memory, 32-
kB SRAM, and 80-MHz operation; USB host, device, and OTG connectivity; a Hibernation module and
PWM; and a wide range of other peripherals. See the TM4C123GH6PM microcontroller data sheet
(literature number SPMS376) for complete device details.

Functional Description
www.ti.com
Most of the microcontroller signals are routed to 0.1-in (2.54-mm) pitch headers. An internal multiplexer
allows different peripheral functions to be assigned to each of these GPIO pads. When adding external
circuitry, consider the additional load on the evaluation board power rails.
The TM4C123GH6PM microcontroller is factory-programmed with a quickstart demo program. The
quickstart program resides in on-chip Flash memory and runs each time power is applied, unless the
quickstart application has been replaced with a user program.
2.1.2 USB Connectivity
The EK-TM4C123GXL is designed and functions as a USB device without hardware modification. The
USB device signals are dedicated to USB functionality and are not shared with the BoosterPack headers.
The USB device signals are listed in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1. USB Device Signals
GPIO Pin Pin Function USB Device
PD4 USB0DM D–
PD5 USB0DP D+
The TM4C123GH6PM target device is also capable of USB embedded host and on-the-go (OTG)
functions. OTG functionality can be enabled by populating R25 and R29 with 0-Ωresistors. These
resistors connect the USB ID and USB VBUS signals to PB0 and PB1. When these resistors are populated,
PB0 and PB1 must remain in the respective USB pin mode configurations to prevent device damage. PB0
and PB1 are also present on the J1 BoosterPack header. Therefore, if R25 or R29 are populated, care
must be taken not to conflict these signals with BoosterPack signals.
USB embedded host operation can be enabled in the same way for USB devices that are self-powered.
Providing power when acting as a USB host requires a BoosterPack with power switching and appropriate
connectors. All USB host signals are available on the BoosterPack interface except D+ and D–, which are
only available on the USB micro-A/-B connector and the two adjacent test points.
When connected as a USB device, the evaluation board can be powered from either the ICDI or the USB
Device connectors. The user can select the power source by moving the POWER SELECT switch (SW3)
to the Device position. See the Power Management schematic (appended to this document).
2.1.3 Motion Control
The EK-TM4C123GXL includes the Tiva C-Series Motion Control PWM technology, featuring two PWM
modules capable of generating 16 PWM outputs. Each PWM module provides a great deal of flexibility
and can generate simple PWM signals—for example, those required by a simple charge pump—as well
as paired PWM signals with dead-band delays, such as those required by a half-H bridge driver. Three
generator blocks can also generate the full six channels of gate controls required by a 3-phase inverter
bridge.
Two quadrature encoder interfaces (QEI) are also available to provide motion control feedback. See the
Headers and BoosterPacks section of this document for details about the availability of these signals on
the BoosterPack interface.

2.1.4 User Switches and RGB User LED
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad comes with an RGB LED. This LED is used in the preloaded RGB
quickstart application and can be configured for use in custom applications.
Two user buttons are included on the board. The user buttons are both used in the preloaded quickstart
application to adjust the light spectrum of the RGB LED as well as go into and out of hibernation. The user
buttons can be used for other purposes in the user’s custom application.
The evaluation board also has a green power LED. Table 2-2 shows how these features are connected to
the pins on the microcontroller.

PF3 GPIO RGD LED (Green)
2.1.5 Headers and BoosterPacks
The two double rows of stackable headers are mapped to most of the GPIO pins of the TM4C123GH6PM
microcontroller. These rows are labeled as connectors J1, J2, J3, and J4. Connectors J3 and J4 are
located 0.1 in (2.54 mm) inside of the J1 and J2 connectors. All 40 header pins of the J1, J2, J3, and J4
connectors make up the Tiva C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad BoosterPack XL Interface. Table 2-3
through Table 2-6 show how these header pins are connected to the microcontroller pins and which GPIO
functions can be selected.
NOTE: To configure the device peripherals easily and intuitively using a graphical user interface
(GUI), see the Tiva C Series Pinmux Utility found at www.ti.com/tool/lm4f_pinmux. This easy-
to-use interface makes setting up alternate functions for GPIOs simple and error-free.

Connectors J1 and J2 of the Tiva C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad BoosterPack XL Interface provide
compatibility with MSP430 LaunchPad BoosterPacks. Highlighted functions (shaded cells) in Table 2-3
through Table 2-5 indicate configuration for compatibility with the MSP430 LaunchPad.
A complete list of Tiva C Series BoosterPacks and Tiva C Series LaunchPad-compatible MSP430
BoosterPacks is available at www.ti.com/tm4c123g-launchpad.
2.2 Power Management
2.2.1 Power Supplies
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad can be powered from one of two power sources:
• On-board ICDI USB cable (Debug, Default)
• USB device cable (Device)
The POWER SELECT switch (SW3) is used to select one of the two power sources. Select only one
source at a time.
2.2.2 Hibernate
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad provides an external 32.768-kHz crystal (Y1) as the clock source for the
TM4C123GH6PM Hibernation module clock source. The current draw while in Hibernate mode can be
measured by making some minor adjustments to the Tiva C Series LaunchPad. This procedure is
explained in more detail later in this section.
The conditions that can generate a wake signal to the Hibernate module on the Tiva C Series LaunchPad
are waking on a Real-time Clock (RTC) match and/or waking on assertion of the WAKE pin. (1) The second
user switch (SW2) is connected to the WAKE pin on the microcontroller. The WAKE pin, as well as the
VDD and HIB pins, are easily accessible through breakout pads on the Tiva C Series LaunchPad. See the
appended schematics for details.

(1) If the board does not turn on when you connect it to a power source, the microcontroller might be in Hibernate mode (depending on the
programmed application). You must satisfy one of the programmed wake conditions and connect the power to bring the microcontroller
out of Hibernate mode and turn on the board.

In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI)
www.ti.com
There is no external battery source on the Tiva C Series LaunchPad Hibernation module, which means
the VDD3ON power control mechanism should be used. This mechanism uses internal switches to
remove power from the Cortex-M4 processor as well as to most analog and digital functions while
retaining I/O pin power.
To measure the Hibernation mode current or the Run mode current, the VDD jumper that connects the 3.3
V pin and the MCU_PWR pin must be removed. See the complete schematics (appended to this
document) for details on these pins and component locations. An ammeter should then be placed
between the 3.3 V pin and the MCU_PWR pin to measure IDD (or IHIB_VDD3ON). The TM4C123GH6PM
microcontroller uses VDD as its power source during VDD3ON Hibernation mode, so IDD is the Hibernation
mode (VDD3ON mode) current. This measurement can also be taken during Run mode, which measures
IDD the microcontroller running current.
2.2.3 Clocking
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad uses a 16.0-MHz crystal (Y2) to complete the TM4C123GH6PM
microcontroller main internal clock circuit. An internal PLL, configured in software, multiples this clock to
higher frequencies for core and peripheral timing.
The Hibernation module is clocked from an external 32.768-KHz crystal (Y1).
2.2.4 Reset
The RESET signal into the TM4C123GH6PM microcontroller connects to the RESET switch and to the
ICDI circuit for a debugger-controlled reset.
External reset is asserted (active low) under any of three conditions:
• Power-on reset (filtered by an R-C network)
• RESET switch held down
• By the ICDI circuit when instructed by the debugger (this capability is optional, and may not be
supported by all debuggers)
2.3 In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI)
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad evaluation board comes with an on-board In-Circuit Debug Interface (ICDI).
The ICDI allows for the programming and debug of the TM4C123GH6PM using the LM Flash Programmer
and/or any of the supported tool chains. Note that the ICDI supports only JTAG debugging. An external
debug interface can be connected for Serial Wire Debug (SWD) and SWO (trace).
Table 2-7 shows the pins used for JTAG and SWD. These signals are also mapped out to easily
accessible breakout pads and headers on the board.

Programming the Tiva C Series LaunchPad Evaluation Board
www.ti.com
3.4 Programming the Tiva C Series LaunchPad Evaluation Board
The Tiva C Series LaunchPad software package includes pre-built binaries for each of the example
applications. If you have installed TivaWare to the default installation path of
C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series_<version>, you can find the example applications in
C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series_<version>\examples\boards\ek-tm4c123gxl . The on-board ICDI is used with the
LM Flash Programmer tool to program applications on the Tiva C Series LaunchPad.
Follow these steps to program example applications into the Tiva C Series LaunchPad evaluation board
using the ICDI:
1. Install LM Flash Programmer on a PC running Microsoft®Windows®.
2. Switch the POWER SELECT switch to the right for Debug mode.
3. Connect the USB-A cable plug to an available port on the PC and the Micro-B plug to the Debug USB
port on the board.
4. Verify that the POWER LED D4 on the board is lit.
5. Run the LM Flash Programmer.
6. In the Configuration tab, use the Quick Set control to select the EK-TM4C123GXL evaluation board.
7. Move to the Program tab and click the Browse button. Navigate to the example applications directory
(the default location is C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series_<version>\examples\boards\ek-tm4c123gxl ).
8. Each example application has its own directory. Navigate to the example directory that you want to
load and then into the directory which contains the binary (*.bin) files. Select the binary file and click
Open.
9. Set the Erase Method to Erase Necessary Pages, check the Verify After Program box, and check
Reset MCU After Program.
Program execution starts once the Verify process is complete.
