Introduction to Cortex M3
1. Introduction
System-on-chip solutions based on ARM embedded processors address many different
market segments including enterprise applications, automotive systems, home networking
and wireless technologies.
The ARM Cortex family includes processors based on the three distinct profiles of the
ARMv7 architecture
 The A profile for sophisticated, high-end applications running open and complex
operating systems
 The R profile for real-time systems
 The M profile optimized for cost-sensitive and microcontroller applications.
The Cortex-M3 processor is the first ARM processor based on the ARMv7-M architecture
and has been specifically designed to achieve high system performance in power- and
cost-sensitive embedded applications, such as microcontrollers, automotive body systems,
and industrial control systems and wireless networking.
1.1 Higher performance through better efficiency
In order to achieve higher performance, processors can either work hard or work smart.
 Pushing higher clock frequencies may increase performance but is also

accompanied by higher power consumption and design complexity. On the other
hand, higher compute efficiency at slower clock speeds results in simpler and lower
power designs that can perform the same tasks.
 At the heart of the Cortex-M3 processor is an advanced 3-stage pipeline core, based
on the Harvard architecture, that incorporates many new powerful features such as
branch speculation, single cycle multiply and hardware divide to deliver an
exceptional Dhrystone benchmark performance of 1.25 DMIPS/MHz
 The Cortex-M3 processor also implements the new Thumb®-2 instruction set
architecture, helping it to be 70% more efficient per MHz than an ARM7TDMI-S®
processor executing Thumb instructions, and 35% more efficient than the
ARM7TDMI-S processor executing ARM instructions, for the Dhrystone benchmark.

1.2 Ease of use for quick and efficient application development
Reducing time-to-market and lowering development costs are critical criteria in the choice
of microcontrollers, and the ability to quickly and easily develop software is key to these
requirements.
 The Cortex-M3 processor has been designed to be fast and easy to program, with
the users not required to write any assembler code or have deep knowledge of the
architecture to create simple applications.
 The processor has a simplified stack-based programmer’s model which still

maintains compatibility with the traditional ARM architecture but is analogous to the
systems employed by legacy 8-bit and 16-bit architectures, making the transition to
32-bit easier.
 Additionally a hardware based interrupt scheme means that writing interrupt service
routines (handlers) becomes trivial, and that start-up code is now significantly
simplified as no assembler code register manipulation is required.
 Key new features in the underlying Thumb-2 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)
implement C code more naturally, with native bit field manipulation, hardware division
and If/Then instructions.
1.3 Reduced costs and lower power for sensitive markets
A constant barrier to the adoption of higher performance microcontrollers has always been
cost. Advanced manufacturing technologies are expensive and therefore smaller silicon
area requirements can reduce costs significantly.
 The Cortex-M3 processor reduces system area by implementing the smallest ARM
core to date, with just 33,000 gates in the central core (0.18um G) and by efficiently
incorporating tightly coupled system components in the processor.
 Memory requirements are minimized by implementing unaligned data storage, atomic

bit manipulation and the Thumb-2 instruction set that reduces instruction memory
requirements for the Dhrystone benchmark by more than 25% compared to ARM
instructions.
 The Cortex-M3 processor supports extensive clock gating and integrated sleep
modes. Enabled by these features, the processor delivers a power consumption of
just 4.5mW and a silicon footprint of 0.30mm2 when implemented at a target
frequency of 50MHz on the TSMC 0.13G process using ARM Metro™ standard cells.

1.4 Integrated debug and trace for faster time to market
Embedded systems typically have no graphical user interface making software debug a
special challenge for programmers.
 In-circuit Emulator (ICE) units have traditionally been used as plug-in devices to
provide a window into the system through a familiar PC interface. As systems get
smaller and more complex, physically attaching such debug units is no longer a
viable solution.
 The Cortex-M3 processor implements debug technology in the hardware itself with
several integrated components that facilitate quicker debug with trace & profiling,
breakpoints, watch points and code patching, significantly reducing time to market.
 Additionally, the processor provides a high level of visibility into the system through a
traditional JTAG port or the 2-pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port that is suitable for
devices in low pin-count packages.

and Cortex-M3 (Thumb-2)

1.5 Lower power consumption for wireless networks
Wireless networks are ubiquitous in today’s increasingly connected world. Various wireless
standards like Wi-Fi, WiMAX, Bluetooth and Zigbee drive the technology that enables
connectivity over the internet and with other similarly enabled devices. The common factor
between all of these technologies is the increasing need for lower power consumption. For
example, Zigbee based wireless devices are expected to last more than ten years when
powered by a pair of AA batteries.
 Clock gating and integrated sleep modes for lower power
Clock gating is a technique that shuts down the power to parts of the system,
effectively disabling them. The Cortex-M3 processor extensively uses gated clocks to
disable unused functionality, and disables inputs to unused functional blocks, so that
only actively used logic consumes any dynamic power.
Figure 8. Power control in Deep Sleep mode
In addition to the broad implementation of clock gating in the processor design the
Cortex-M3 processor also delivers a number of sleep modes to put the processor into
low power statues, effectively clock gating the entire processor with the exception of
sections of the interrupt controller. The sleep modes can be implemented through the
WFI (wait For Interrupt) and WFE (Wait for Event) instructions. Additionally the
Cortex-M3 processor enables wider system level power reduction through the use of
the SLEEPDEEP signal. This signal is asserted when in Sleep-now or Sleep-on-exit
modes when the SLEEPDEEP bit of the System Control Register is set. This signal is
routed to the clock manager and can be used to gate the processor and system
components including the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) to achieve greater power
savings. Figure 8 shows an example of how to reduce power consumption by
stopping the clock controller with SLEEPDEEP in the low-power state. When exiting
low-power state, the LOCK signal indicates that the PLL is stable, and it is safe to
enable the Cortex-M3 clock, ensuring that the processor is not re-started until the
clocks are stable. To detect interrupts, the processor must receive the free-running
FCLK in the low-power state.
 Working smarter to sleep longer
Typically, higher power consumption is due to the processor working at faster clock
speeds to meet challenging performance requirements. The processor can also
choose to lower power consumption by working smarter at lower clock frequencies.
The Cortex-M3 processor works at an outstanding efficiency of 1.25 DMIPS/MHz,
enabling the system to complete compute intensive tasks faster and hence allowing it
to spend more time in low power sleep modes.

Architectural overview:
The ARM Cortex-M3 includes three AHB-Lite buses, one system bus and the I-code and
D-code buses which are faster and are used similarly to TCM interfaces: one bus
dedicated for instruction fetch (I-code) and one bus for data access (D-code). The use of
two core buses allows for simultaneous operations if concurrent operations target different
devices.
The LPC17xx uses a multi-layer AHB matrix to connect the Cortex-M3 buses and other
bus masters to peripherals in a flexible manner that optimizes performance by allowing
peripherals on different slaves ports of the matrix to be accessed simultaneously by
different bus masters. Details of the multilayer matrix connections are shown in Figure 2.
APB peripherals are connected to the CPU via two APB busses using separate slave ports
from the multilayer AHB matrix. This allows for better performance by reducing collisions
between the CPU and the DMA controller. The APB bus bridges are configured to buffer
writes so that the CPU or DMA controller can write to APB devices without always waiting
for APB write completion.
On-chip flash program memory:
The LPC17xx contain up to 512 kB of on-chip flash memory. A new two-port flash
accelerator maximizes performance for use with the two fast AHB-Lite buses.
On-chip SRAM:
The LPC17xx contain a total of 64 kB on-chip static RAM memory. This includes the main
32 kB SRAM, accessible by the CPU and DMA controller on a higher-speed bus, and two
additional 16 kB each SRAM blocks situated on a separate slave port on the AHB
multilayer matrix.
This architecture allows CPU and DMA accesses to be spread over three separate RAMs
that can be accessed simultaneously.

Cortex-M3 processor architecture and features

The Cortex-M3 processor, based on the ARMv7-M architecture, has a hierarchical
structure. It integrates the central processor core, called the CM3Core, with advanced
system peripherals to enable integrated capabilities like interrupt control, memory
protection and system debug and trace. These peripherals are highly configurable to allow
the Cortex-M3 processor to address a wide range of applications and be more closely
aligned with the system requirements. The Cortex-M3 core and the integrated components
(Figure 3) have been specifically designed to meet the requirements of minimal memory
implementation, reduced pin count and low power consumption.
The Cortex-M3 Core
The central Cortex-M3 core is based on the Harvard architecture characterized by

separate buses for instructions and data (Figure 3). The processor differs from the von
Neumann architecture based ARM7 family of processors which use the same signal buses
and memory for both instructions and data. By being able to read both an instruction and
data from memory at the same time, the Cortex-M3 processor can perform many
operations in parallel, speeding application execution.
 The core pipeline has 3 stages: Instruction Fetch, Instruction Decode and Instruction
Execute.
 When a branch instruction is encountered, the decode stage also includes a

speculative instruction fetch that could lead to faster execution. The processor

fetches the branch destination instruction during the decode stage itself. Later, during
the execute stage, the branch is resolved and it is known which instruction is to be
executed next. If the branch is not to be taken, the next sequential instruction is
already available. If the branch is to be taken, the branch instruction is made
available at the same time as the decision is made, restricting idle time to just one
cycle.
 The Cortex-M3 core contains a decoder for traditional Thumb and new Thumb-2
instructions, an advanced ALU with support for hardware multiply and divide, control
logic, and interfaces to the other components of the processor.
 The Cortex-M3 processor is a 32-bit processor, with a 32-bit wide data path, register
bank and memory interface. There are 13 general-purpose registers, two stack
pointers, a link register, a program counter and a number of special registers
including a program status register.
 The Cortex-M3 processor supports two operating modes, Thread and Handler and
two levels of access for the code, privileged and unprivileged, enabling the
implementation of complex and open systems without sacrificing the security of the
application.
 Unprivileged code execution limits or excludes access to some resources like certain
instructions and specific memory locations.
 The Thread mode is the typical operating mode and supports both privileged and
unprivileged code. The Handler mode is entered when an exception occurs and all
code is privileged during this mode. In addition, all operation is categorized under two
operating states, Thumb for normal execution and Debug for debug activities.
The Cortex-M3 processor is a memory mapped system with a simple, fixed memory map
for up to 4 gigabytes of addressable memory space with predefined, dedicated addresses
for code (code space), SRAM(memory space), external memories/devices and
internal/external peripherals. There is also a special region to provide for vendor specific
addressability.
The Cortex-M3 processor enables direct access to single bits of data in simple systems by
implementing a technique called bit-banding (Figure 5). The memory map includes two
1MB bit band regions in the SRAM and peripheral space that map on to 32MB of alias
regions. Load/store operations on an address in the alias region directly get translated to
an operation on the bit aliased by that address. Writing to an address in the alias region
with the least-significant bit set writes a 1 to the bit-band bit and writing with the least-
significant bit cleared writes a 0 to the bit. Reading the aliased address directly returns the
value in the appropriate bit-band bit. Additionally, this operation is atomic and cannot be
interrupted by other bus activities.

Thumb-2 Instruction Set Architecture
The ARMv7-M is the microcontroller profile of the ARMV7 architecture and is different from
earlier ARM architectures in that it supports Thumb-2 instructions alone. Thumb-2
technology is a blend of 16 and a 32-bit instruction that delivers the performance of 32-bit
ARM instructions, matches the code density of and is backwards compatible with, the
original 16-bit Thumb instruction set. Figure 6 shows indicative Dhrystone benchmark
results that illustrate that Thumb-2 technology indeed achieves this objective.
Relative Dhrystone performance and code size for ARM, Thumb and Thumb-2
In an ARM7 processor-based system, switching the processor core between the Thumb
state for code density and ARM state for high performance would be necessary for certain
applications. However, the Cortex-M3 processor does not need to interwork instructions
since both 16-bit and 32-bit instructions co-exist in the same mode, enabling higher code
density and performance with far less complexity. As theThumb-2 instructions are a
superset of 16-bit Thumb instructions, the Cortex-M3 processor can execute any
previously written Thumb code. By implementing Thumb-2 instructions, the Cortex-M3
processor also delivers compatibility with other members of the ARM Cortex processor
family.
The Thumb-2 instruction set includes instructions that make it easier to write compact code
for many different applications. The BFI and BFC instructions are bit-field instructions that
are useful in applications like network packet processing. The SBFX and UBFX
instructions improve the ability to insert or extract a number of bits to or from a register, a
capability particularly useful in automotive applications. The RBIT instruction reverses the
bits in a word and is useful in DSP algorithms such as DFT.Thumb-2 instructions also
introduce a new If-Then construct that predicates the conditional execution of up to four
subsequent instructions.

The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
The highly configurable NVIC is an integral part of the Cortex-M3 processor and provides
the processor’s outstanding interrupt handling abilities. In its standard implementation it
supplies a Non- Maskable Interrupt (NMI) and 32 general purpose physical interrupts with
8 levels of pre-emption priority. It can be configured to anywhere between 1 and 240
physical interrupts with up to 256 levels of priority though simple synthesis choices.
The Cortex-M3 processor uses a re-locatable vector table that contains the address of the
function to be executed for a particular interrupt handler. On accepting an interrupt, the
processor fetches the address from the vector table through the instruction bus interface.
The vector table is located at address zero at reset, but can be relocated by programming
a control register. To reduce gate count and enhance system flexibility the Cortex-M3 has
migrated from the banked shadow register exception model of the ARM7 processor to a
stack based exception model. When an exception takes place, the Program Counter,
Program Status Register, Link Register and the R0-R3,R12 general purpose registers are
pushed on to the stack. The data bus stacks the registers whilst the instruction bus
identifies the exception vector from the vector table and fetches the first instruction of the
exception code. Once the stacking and instruction fetch are completed, the interrupt
service routine or fault handler is executed, followed by the automatic restoration of the
registers to enable the interrupted program to resume normal execution. By handling the
stack operations in hardware, the Cortex-M3 processor removes the need to write
assembler wrappers that are required to perform stack manipulation for traditional C-based
interrupt service routines, making application development significantly easier.
The NVIC supports nesting (stacking) of interrupts, allowing an interrupt to be serviced
earlier by exerting higher priority. It also supports dynamic reprioritization of interrupts.
Priority levels can be changed by software during run time. Interrupts that are being
serviced are blocked from further activation until the interrupt service routine is completed,
so their priority can be changed without risk of accidental re-entry. In the case of back-to-
back interrupts, traditional systems would repeat the complete state save and restore cycle
twice, resulting in higher latency. The Cortex-M3 processor simplifies moving between
active and pending interrupts by implementing tail-chaining technology in the NVIC
hardware. Tail chaining achieves much lower latency by replacing serial stack pop and
push actions that normally take over 30 clock cycles with a simple 6 cycle instruction fetch.
The processor state is automatically saved on interrupt entry, and restored on interrupt
exit, in fewer cycles than a software implementation, significantly enhancing performance
in sub-100MHz systems.

The NVIC also implements the power-management scheme of the Cortex-M3 processor
that supports integrated sleep modes.
 The Sleep Now mode is invoked by either the Wait For Interrupt (WFI) or the Wait
For Event (WFE) instructions that immediately puts the core into low-power state
pending an exception.
 The Sleep on Exit mode puts the system into low-power mode as soon as it exits the
lowest priority interrupt-service routine. The core stays in sleep state until another
exception is encountered. Since only an interrupt can exit this mode, the system
state is not restored.
 The SLEEPDEEP bit of the system control register, if set; can be used to clock gate
the core and other system components for optimal power savings. The NVIC also
integrates a System Tick (SysTick) timer, which is a 24-bit count-down timer that can
be used to generate interrupts at regular time intervals, proving an ideal heartbeat to
drive a Real Time OS or other scheduled tasks.

The Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The MPU is an optional component of the Cortex-M3 processor that can improve the
reliability of an embedded system by protecting critical data used by the operating system
from user applications, separating processing tasks by disallowing access to each other's
data, disabling access to memory regions, allowing memory regions to be defined as read-
only and detecting unexpected memory accesses that could potentially break the system.
The MPU enables the application to be broken down into a set of processes. Each process
owns specific memory (code, data, stack, and heap) and devices, as well as having
access to shared memory and devices. The MPU also enforces user and privilege access
rules. This includes executing code from the right privilege level as well as enforcing
ownership of memory and devices by privileged and user code.
The MPU separates the memory into distinct regions and implements protection by
preventing disallowed accesses. The MPU supports up to 8 regions each of which can be
divided into 8 sub regions. The region sizes supported start from 32 bytes and increase by
factors of 2 to all of the addressable memory of 4 gigabytes. Each region is associated
with a region number that is an index starting at 0, used to address the region. It is also
possible to define a default background memory map for privileged accesses. Accesses to
memory locations that are not defined in the MPU regions, or not permitted by the region
setting, will cause the Memory Management Fault exception to take place.
The protection for the regions is implemented with rules that are based on the type of
transaction (read, write or execute) and privilege of code performing the access. Each
region includes a set of bits which affect what kinds of accesses are permitted, as well as
bits that affect what kind of bus action is allowed. The MPU also supports overlapping
regions, which are regions that cover the same address. Since sizes are in multiples of 2,
overlap means that one may be fully enclosed within another. It is therefore possible to
have multiple regions enclosed by a single region and it is also possible to have nested
overlapping. In the case of address lookups to locations within overlapping regions, the
region with the highest region number is returned.

The ARM Cortex-M3 includes three AHB-Lite buses, one system bus and the I-code and
D-code buses which are faster and are used similarly to TCM interfaces: one bus
dedicated for instruction fetch (I-code) and one bus for data access (D-code). The use of
two core buses allows for simultaneous operations if concurrent operations target different
devices.
The LPC17xx uses a multi-layer AHB matrix to connect the Cortex-M3 buses and other
bus masters to peripherals in a flexible manner that optimizes performance by allowing
peripherals on different slaves ports of the matrix to be accessed simultaneously by
different bus masters. Details of the multilayer matrix connections are shown in Figure 2.
APB peripherals are connected to the CPU via two APB busses using separate slave ports
from the multilayer AHB matrix. This allows for better performance by reducing collisions
between the CPU and the DMA controller. The APB bus bridges are configured to buffer
writes so that the CPU or DMA controller can write to APB devices without always waiting
for APB write completion.
On-chip flash program memory:
The LPC17xx contain up to 512 kB of on-chip flash memory. A new two-port flash
accelerator maximizes performance for use with the two fast AHB-Lite buses.
On-chip SRAM:
The LPC17xx contain a total of 64 kB on-chip static RAM memory. This includes the main
32 kB SRAM, accessible by the CPU and DMA controller on a higher-speed bus, and two
additional 16 kB each SRAM blocks situated on a separate slave port on the AHB
multilayer matrix.
This architecture allows CPU and DMA accesses to be spread over three separate RAMs
that can be accessed simultaneously.

Cortex-M3 processor architecture and features

The Cortex-M3 processor, based on the ARMv7-M architecture, has a hierarchical
structure. It integrates the central processor core, called the CM3Core, with advanced
system peripherals to enable integrated capabilities like interrupt control, memory
protection and system debug and trace. These peripherals are highly configurable to allow
the Cortex-M3 processor to address a wide range of applications and be more closely
aligned with the system requirements. The Cortex-M3 core and the integrated components
(Figure 3) have been specifically designed to meet the requirements of minimal memory
implementation, reduced pin count and low power consumption.
The Cortex-M3 Core
The central Cortex-M3 core is based on the Harvard architecture characterized by

separate buses for instructions and data (Figure 3). The processor differs from the von
Neumann architecture based ARM7 family of processors which use the same signal buses
and memory for both instructions and data. By being able to read both an instruction and
data from memory at the same time, the Cortex-M3 processor can perform many
operations in parallel, speeding application execution.
 The core pipeline has 3 stages: Instruction Fetch, Instruction Decode and Instruction
Execute.
 When a branch instruction is encountered, the decode stage also includes a

speculative instruction fetch that could lead to faster execution. The processor

fetches the branch destination instruction during the decode stage itself. Later, during
the execute stage, the branch is resolved and it is known which instruction is to be
executed next. If the branch is not to be taken, the next sequential instruction is
already available. If the branch is to be taken, the branch instruction is made
available at the same time as the decision is made, restricting idle time to just one
cycle.
 The Cortex-M3 core contains a decoder for traditional Thumb and new Thumb-2
instructions, an advanced ALU with support for hardware multiply and divide, control
logic, and interfaces to the other components of the processor.
 The Cortex-M3 processor is a 32-bit processor, with a 32-bit wide data path, register
bank and memory interface. There are 13 general-purpose registers, two stack
pointers, a link register, a program counter and a number of special registers
including a program status register.
 The Cortex-M3 processor supports two operating modes, Thread and Handler and
two levels of access for the code, privileged and unprivileged, enabling the
implementation of complex and open systems without sacrificing the security of the
application.
 Unprivileged code execution limits or excludes access to some resources like certain
instructions and specific memory locations.
 The Thread mode is the typical operating mode and supports both privileged and
unprivileged code. The Handler mode is entered when an exception occurs and all
code is privileged during this mode. In addition, all operation is categorized under two
operating states, Thumb for normal execution and Debug for debug activities.
The Cortex-M3 processor is a memory mapped system with a simple, fixed memory map
for up to 4 gigabytes of addressable memory space with predefined, dedicated addresses
for code (code space), SRAM(memory space), external memories/devices and
internal/external peripherals. There is also a special region to provide for vendor specific
addressability.
The Cortex-M3 processor enables direct access to single bits of data in simple systems by
implementing a technique called bit-banding (Figure 5). The memory map includes two
1MB bit band regions in the SRAM and peripheral space that map on to 32MB of alias
regions. Load/store operations on an address in the alias region directly get translated to
an operation on the bit aliased by that address. Writing to an address in the alias region
with the least-significant bit set writes a 1 to the bit-band bit and writing with the least-
significant bit cleared writes a 0 to the bit. Reading the aliased address directly returns the
value in the appropriate bit-band bit. Additionally, this operation is atomic and cannot be
interrupted by other bus activities.

Thumb-2 Instruction Set Architecture
The ARMv7-M is the microcontroller profile of the ARMV7 architecture and is different from
earlier ARM architectures in that it supports Thumb-2 instructions alone. Thumb-2
technology is a blend of 16 and a 32-bit instruction that delivers the performance of 32-bit
ARM instructions, matches the code density of and is backwards compatible with, the
original 16-bit Thumb instruction set. Figure 6 shows indicative Dhrystone benchmark
results that illustrate that Thumb-2 technology indeed achieves this objective.
Relative Dhrystone performance and code size for ARM, Thumb and Thumb-2
In an ARM7 processor-based system, switching the processor core between the Thumb
state for code density and ARM state for high performance would be necessary for certain
applications. However, the Cortex-M3 processor does not need to interwork instructions
since both 16-bit and 32-bit instructions co-exist in the same mode, enabling higher code
density and performance with far less complexity. As theThumb-2 instructions are a
superset of 16-bit Thumb instructions, the Cortex-M3 processor can execute any
previously written Thumb code. By implementing Thumb-2 instructions, the Cortex-M3
processor also delivers compatibility with other members of the ARM Cortex processor
family.
The Thumb-2 instruction set includes instructions that make it easier to write compact code
for many different applications. The BFI and BFC instructions are bit-field instructions that
are useful in applications like network packet processing. The SBFX and UBFX
instructions improve the ability to insert or extract a number of bits to or from a register, a
capability particularly useful in automotive applications. The RBIT instruction reverses the
bits in a word and is useful in DSP algorithms such as DFT.Thumb-2 instructions also
introduce a new If-Then construct that predicates the conditional execution of up to four
subsequent instructions.

The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
The highly configurable NVIC is an integral part of the Cortex-M3 processor and provides
the processor’s outstanding interrupt handling abilities. In its standard implementation it
supplies a Non- Maskable Interrupt (NMI) and 32 general purpose physical interrupts with
8 levels of pre-emption priority. It can be configured to anywhere between 1 and 240
physical interrupts with up to 256 levels of priority though simple synthesis choices.
The Cortex-M3 processor uses a re-locatable vector table that contains the address of the
function to be executed for a particular interrupt handler. On accepting an interrupt, the
processor fetches the address from the vector table through the instruction bus interface.
The vector table is located at address zero at reset, but can be relocated by programming
a control register. To reduce gate count and enhance system flexibility the Cortex-M3 has
migrated from the banked shadow register exception model of the ARM7 processor to a
stack based exception model. When an exception takes place, the Program Counter,
Program Status Register, Link Register and the R0-R3,R12 general purpose registers are
pushed on to the stack. The data bus stacks the registers whilst the instruction bus
identifies the exception vector from the vector table and fetches the first instruction of the
exception code. Once the stacking and instruction fetch are completed, the interrupt
service routine or fault handler is executed, followed by the automatic restoration of the
registers to enable the interrupted program to resume normal execution. By handling the
stack operations in hardware, the Cortex-M3 processor removes the need to write
assembler wrappers that are required to perform stack manipulation for traditional C-based
interrupt service routines, making application development significantly easier.
The NVIC supports nesting (stacking) of interrupts, allowing an interrupt to be serviced
earlier by exerting higher priority. It also supports dynamic reprioritization of interrupts.
Priority levels can be changed by software during run time. Interrupts that are being
serviced are blocked from further activation until the interrupt service routine is completed,
so their priority can be changed without risk of accidental re-entry. In the case of back-to-
back interrupts, traditional systems would repeat the complete state save and restore cycle
twice, resulting in higher latency. The Cortex-M3 processor simplifies moving between
active and pending interrupts by implementing tail-chaining technology in the NVIC
hardware. Tail chaining achieves much lower latency by replacing serial stack pop and
push actions that normally take over 30 clock cycles with a simple 6 cycle instruction fetch.
The processor state is automatically saved on interrupt entry, and restored on interrupt
exit, in fewer cycles than a software implementation, significantly enhancing performance
in sub-100MHz systems.

The NVIC also implements the power-management scheme of the Cortex-M3 processor
that supports integrated sleep modes.
 The Sleep Now mode is invoked by either the Wait For Interrupt (WFI) or the Wait
For Event (WFE) instructions that immediately puts the core into low-power state
pending an exception.
 The Sleep on Exit mode puts the system into low-power mode as soon as it exits the
lowest priority interrupt-service routine. The core stays in sleep state until another
exception is encountered. Since only an interrupt can exit this mode, the system
state is not restored.
 The SLEEPDEEP bit of the system control register, if set; can be used to clock gate
the core and other system components for optimal power savings. The NVIC also
integrates a System Tick (SysTick) timer, which is a 24-bit count-down timer that can
be used to generate interrupts at regular time intervals, proving an ideal heartbeat to
drive a Real Time OS or other scheduled tasks.

The Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The MPU is an optional component of the Cortex-M3 processor that can improve the
reliability of an embedded system by protecting critical data used by the operating system
from user applications, separating processing tasks by disallowing access to each other's
data, disabling access to memory regions, allowing memory regions to be defined as read-
only and detecting unexpected memory accesses that could potentially break the system.
The MPU enables the application to be broken down into a set of processes. Each process
owns specific memory (code, data, stack, and heap) and devices, as well as having
access to shared memory and devices. The MPU also enforces user and privilege access
rules. This includes executing code from the right privilege level as well as enforcing
ownership of memory and devices by privileged and user code.
The MPU separates the memory into distinct regions and implements protection by
preventing disallowed accesses. The MPU supports up to 8 regions each of which can be
divided into 8 sub regions. The region sizes supported start from 32 bytes and increase by
factors of 2 to all of the addressable memory of 4 gigabytes. Each region is associated
with a region number that is an index starting at 0, used to address the region. It is also
possible to define a default background memory map for privileged accesses. Accesses to
memory locations that are not defined in the MPU regions, or not permitted by the region
setting, will cause the Memory Management Fault exception to take place.
The protection for the regions is implemented with rules that are based on the type of
transaction (read, write or execute) and privilege of code performing the access. Each
region includes a set of bits which affect what kinds of accesses are permitted, as well as
bits that affect what kind of bus action is allowed. The MPU also supports overlapping
regions, which are regions that cover the same address. Since sizes are in multiples of 2,
overlap means that one may be fully enclosed within another. It is therefore possible to
have multiple regions enclosed by a single region and it is also possible to have nested
overlapping. In the case of address lookups to locations within overlapping regions, the
region with the highest region number is returned.

Introduction to LPC1768 Peripherals

Ethernet MAC
In 1985, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) in the United States of
America produced a series of standards for Local Area Networks (LANs) called the IEEE
802 standards. These have found widespread acceptability and now form the core of most
LANs. One of the IEEE 802 standards, IEEE 802.3, is a standard known as "Ethernet".
Frames of data are formed using a protocol called Medium Access Control (MAC), and
encoded using Manchester line encoding. Ethernet uses a simple Carrier-Sense Multiple
Access protocol with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) to prevent two computers trying to
transmit at the same time (or more correctly to ensure both computers retransmit any frames
which are corrupted by simultaneous transmission).
Ethernet LANs may be implemented using a variety of media (not just the coaxial cable
described above). The types of media segments supported by Ethernet are:
 10B5 Low loss coaxial cable (also known as "thick" Ethernet)

 10B2 Low cost coaxial cable (also known as "thin" Ethernet)
 10BT Low cost twisted pair copper cable (also known as Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP),
Category-5)
 10BF Fiber optic cable
Category-5)
 100BF Fiber Fast Ethernet
Category-5)
 1000BF Fiber Gigabit Ethernet
 10000BT Category 6 (Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Category-6)
 10000BT Fiber 10 Gigabit Ethernet
The Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is used to provide the data link layer of
the Ethernet LAN system. The MAC protocol encapsulates a SDU (payload data) by adding
a 14 byte header (Protocol Control Information (PCI)) before the data and appending
an integrity checksum, the checksum is a 4-byte (32-bit) Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) after the data. The entire frame is preceded by a small idle period (the minimum inter-
frame gap, 9.6 microseconds (µS)) and an 8 byte preamble (including the start of frame
delimiter).
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines
the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection,
communication and power supply between computers and electronic devices.
The design of USB is standardized by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), an industry
standards body incorporating leading companies from the computer and electronics
industries. Connects peripherals with 4 wire connection.
Supports 3 data rates 480 Mbps (USB 2) (high-speed) 12 Mbps (full speed) and 1.5 Mbps
(low speed) used to connect human interface devices such as mouse, keyboard etc.
USB system consist of three units
1] USB host
2] USB Cable
3] USB Device
USB cable:
D+ = Signal Line
D- = Signal Line
VBUS = Power Supply5.25 to 4.2
VGND = Ground Signal Lines are twisted
Transfer types:
 Interrupt
 Bulk
 Isochronous
 Control Transfers
USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG, is a specification that allows USB
devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host, allowing other USB
devices like a USB flash drive, mouse, or keyboard to be attached to them. Unlike
conventional USB systems, USB OTG systems can drop the hosting role and act as normal
USB devices when attached to another host.
Standard USB uses master/slave architecture; a host acts as the master device for the entire
bus, and a USB device acts as the slave.
DMA controller
Direct memory access (DMA) is a feature of modern computers that allows certain hardware
subsystems within the computer to access system memory independently of the central
processing unit (CPU).
Without DMA, when the CPU is using programmed input/output, it is typically fully occupied
for the entire duration of the read or writes operation, and is thus unavailable to perform
other work. With DMA, the CPU initiates the transfer, does other operations while the
transfer is in progress, and receives an interrupt from the DMA controller when the operation
is done.
The DMA controller megafunction is designed for data transfer in different system
environments. Two module types—type 0 and type 1—are provided, and the user can
choose the number of each module type. Type 0 modules are designed to transfer data
residing on the same bus, and Type 1 modules are designed to transfer data between two
different buses. Each module can support up to 4 DMA channels; the megafunction supports
up to 16 total DMA channels.

Each DMA channel can be programmed for various features, such as transfer size,
synchronized and unsynchronized transfer control; transfer priority, interrupt generation,
memory and I/O address space, and address change direction. This megafunction is
designed to work with 32-bit and 64-bit bus systems, including the PCI bus, PowerPC bus,
and other CPU host buses. It can also be integrated with other megafunction to form a
complete functional block.
UART
A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, abbreviated UART, is a piece of computer

hardware that translates data between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly used
in conjunction with communication standards such as EIA, RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485.
The universal designation indicates that the data format and transmission speeds are
configurable. The electric signalling levels and methods (such as differential signalling etc.)
are handled by a driver circuit external to the UART.
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) takes bytes of data and transmits
the individual bits in a sequential fashion. At the destination, a second UART re-assembles
the bits into complete bytes. Each UART contains a shift register, which is the fundamental
method of conversion between serial and parallel forms. Serial transmission of digital
information (bits) through a single wire or other medium is less costly than parallel
transmission through multiple wires.
The UART usually does not directly generate or receive the external signals used between
different items of equipment. Separate interface devices are used to convert the logic
level signals of the UART to and from the external signaling levels. External signals may be
of many different forms. Examples of standards for voltage signaling are RS-232, RS-
422 and RS-485 from the EIA.
SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) Bus
SPI is a synchronous serial data link standard named by Motorola that operates in full duplex
mode. SPI is also referred to as SSI (Synchronous Serial interface). Devices communicate in
master/slave mode where the master device initiates the data frame. Multiple slave devices
are allowed with individual slave select (chip select) lines. Sometimes SPI is called a four
wire serial bus. The 4 logic signals are
 SCLK - serial clock (output from master)

 MOSI - master output slave input (output from master)
 MISO - master input slave output (output from slave)
 SS - slave select(active low, output from master)
The LPC17xx contain one SPI bus.
Features
 Maximum SPI data bit rate of 12.5 Mbit/s

 Compliant with SPI specification
 Synchronous, serial, full duplex communication
 Combined SPI master and slave
 Maximum data bit rate of one eighth of the input clock rate
 8 bits to 16 bits per transfer

SSP (Synchronous Serial Port) serial I/O controller
SSP is a controller that supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), 4 wire Synchronous
Serial Interface (SSI) and Microwave serial buses. A SSP uses a master-slave paradigm to
communicate across its connected bus.
The LPC17xx contain two SSP controllers.
Features
 Maximum SSP speed of 50 Mbps (master) or 8 Mbps (slave)

 Compatible with Motorola SPI, 4-wire Texas Instruments SSI, and National
 Semiconductor Microwire buses
 Synchronous serial communication
 Master or slave operation
 8-frame FIFOs for both transmit and receive
 4-bit to 16-bit frame
 DMA transfers supported by GPDMA
I2S (Integrated Interchip Sound) bus serial I/O controllers
I2S is an electrical serial bus interface standard used for connecting digital audio devices
together. It is used to communicate PCM audio data between integrated circuits in an
electronic device. The I2S bus consists of at least 3 lines:
 Bit clock line

 Word clock line (also called Word Select line)
 And at least one multiplexed data line
Features
 The interface has separate input/output channels each of which can operate in master
 or slave mode
 Capable of handling 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit word sizes
 Mono and stereo audio data supported
 The sampling frequency can range from 16 kHz to 96 kHz (16, 22.05, 32, 44.1, 48, 96) kHz
 Support for an audio master clock
 Configurable word select period in master mode (separately for I2Sbus input and output)
I2C (Inter Integrated Circuit) Bus
I2C is a 2 wire interface. It is multi-master serial single ended computer bus. It is used to
attach low speed peripherals to a motherboard, embedded system, cell phone or other
electronic devices.
It’s designed to be of moderate speed (up to 100 kbps for standard bus up to 400 kbps for
extended bus). It uses only 2 lines: the serial data line (SDL) for data and the serial clock line
(SCL) which indicates when valid data are on data line. Every node in the network is
connected to both SCL and SDL. Some nodes may act as bus masters and the bus may
have more than one master. Other nodes may act as slaves that only respond to requests
from masters.
The LPC17xx each contain three I2C-bus controllers.

CAN (Controller Area Network) Bus
CAN bus is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to
communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer. CAN bus is a
message based protocol designed specifically for automobile applications but now also used
in other areas such as industrial automation and medical equipment. CAN can run at rates of
1Mbps over twisted pair connection of 40 meters. CAN bus have its own electrical drivers
and receivers that connect the node to the bus in wired AND fashion. In CAN terminology,
logic 1 on the bus is called recessive and logic 0 is dominant. The driving circuits on bus
cause bus to be pulled down to 0 if any node on bus pulls the bus down. When all nodes are
transmitting 1s, bus is said to be in recessive mode
ADC (Analog to Digital converter):
LPC1768 contains a single 12 bit, Successive approximation Analog to Digital Converter

with 8 channels and DMA support.
ADC is a device that converts continuous physical input quantity to a digital number
representing the amplitude of that quantity. Conversion involves quantization of the input and
hence introduces small amount of error.
The ADC measures the range VREFN to VREFP with 12 bit conversion rate of 200 kHz.
There are 8 individual channels and any one of them can be selected for conversion. This
conversion can be optional conversion on transition of input pin or Timer match signal. It is
having individual registers for each ADC channel to reduce interrupt overhead.
Basic clocking for the A/D converters is provided by the APB clock. A programmable divider
is included in each converter to scale this clock to the clock (maximum 13 MHz) needed by
the successive approximation process. A fully accurate conversion requires 65of these
clocks.
DAC (Digital to Analog Converter):
LPC1768 includes a Digital to Analog Converter. This is a 10bit DAC. The DAC allows to
generate a variable analog output. The maximum output value can be VREFP.
Motor Control PWM:
The PWM is based on the standard Timer block and inherits all of its features, although only
the PWM function is pinned out on the LPC17xx. The Timer is designed to count cycles of
the system derived clock and optionally switch pins, generate interrupts or perform other
actions when specified timer values occur, based on seven match registers.
The PWM function is in addition to these features, and is based on match register events.
The ability to separately control rising and falling edge locations allows the PWM to be used
for more applications. For instance, multi-phase motor control typically requires three non-
overlapping PWM outputs with individual control of all three pulse widths and positions.

Two match registers can be used to provide a single edge controlled PWM output. One
match register (PWMMR0) controls the PWM cycle rate, by resetting the count upon match.
The other match register controls the PWM edge position. Additional single edge controlled
PWM outputs require only one match register each, since the repetition rate is the same for
all PWM outputs. Multiple single edge controlled PWM outputs will all have arising edge at
the beginning of each PWM cycle, when a PWMMR0 match occurs.
Three match registers can be used to provide a PWM output with both edges controlled.
Again, the PWMMR0 match register controls the PWM cycle rate. The other match registers
control the two PWM edge positions. Additional double edge controlled PWM outputs require
only two matches registers each, since the repetition rate is the same for all PWM outputs.
With double edge controlled PWM outputs, specific match registers control the rising and
falling edge of the output. This allows both positive going PWM pulses (when the rising edge
occurs prior to the falling edge), and negative going PWM pulses (when the falling edge
occurs prior to the rising edge).
Seven match registers allow up to 6 single edge controlled or 3 double edge controlled PWM
outputs, or a mix of both types. The match registers also allow:
 Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.

 Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.
 Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.
Match register updates are synchronized with pulse outputs to prevent generation of
erroneous pulses. Software must ‘release’ new match values before they can become
effective.
May be used as a standard 32-bit timer/counter with a programmable 32-bit prescaler
If the PWM mode is not enabled
Motor Control PWM
The motor control PWM is a specialized PWM supporting 3-phase motors and other
combinations. Feedback inputs are provided to automatically sense rotor position and use
that information to ramp speed up or down. An abort input is also provided that causes the
PWM to immediately release all motor drive outputs. At the same time, the motor control
PWM is highly configurable for other generalized timing, counting, capture, and compare
applications.
Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)
A Quadrature encoder, also known as a 2-channel incremental encoder, converts angular

displacement into two pulse signals. By monitoring both the number of pulses and the
relative phase of the two signals, the user can track the position, direction of rotation, and
velocity. In addition, a third channel, or index signal, can be used to reset the position
counter. The Quadrature encoder interface decodes the digital pulses from a quadrature
encoder wheel to integrate position over time and determine direction of rotation. In addition,
the QEI can capture the velocity of the encoder wheel.
It uses 32 bit registers for position and velocity and also three position registers are used
with interrupt. It is connected to APB.

Reset Circuit
Fig: Reset Circuitry
A reset is generated by holding the RESET pin low. On reset all the pins of PORT0 and PORT1 are
configured as input with an exception when JTAG and TRACE functionality is enabled. Refer datasheet
of LPC1768 for more information.

ISP and RS-232 Interface
Fig: ISP Circuitry
The COM-1 port can be used to download program code into the internal Flash ROM of the LPC1768
microcontroller. To accomplish this ISP (In-System Programming) via a bootloader and an In-
Application Programming feature of the LPC1768 microcontroller is used. The standard way to start ISP
is to hold ISP low while issuing a processor reset. This can be manually done using the RESET and
ISP push button.

Each RS232 circuit comes with a MAX3232, voltage level shifter to convert the TTL signals of
the microcontroller to RS232 level. The RS232-0 port can be used as a standard communication port
for serial communication between the microcontroller and the computer.
The RS232-0 port can also be used to download program code into the internal Flash ROM of
the LPC1768 microcontroller using ISP.
RS-232 1 Interface
The LPC1768 microcontroller features dual UART. The UART0 interface is available to the user using
the RS232-0 port and UART1 is available using the RS232-1 port on the ARM7 development board.
The RS232 circuit comes with a MAX232, voltage level shifter to convert the TTL signals of the
microcontroller to RS232 level. The RS232-1 port can be used as a standard communication port for
serial communication. RTS and CTS lines are also provided for this port to implement hardware flow
control.
