  ▆ 24-bit SysTick timer

  The Cortex®-M0+ processor is a very low gate count, highly energy efficient processor that is  intended for microcontroller and deeply embedded applications that require an area optimized,  low-power processor. The processor is based on the ARMv6-M architecture and supports Thumb® instruction sets, single-cycle I/O port, hardware multiplier and low latency interrupt respond time.

• On-chip Memory

  ▆ 64 KB on-chip Flash memory for instruction/data and options storage

  The Arm® Cortex®-M0+ processor accesses and debug accesses share the single external interface  to external AHB peripherals. The processor accesses take priority over debug accesses. The  maximum address range of the Cortex®-M0+ is 4 GB since it has a 32-bit bus address width.  Additionally, a pre-defined memory map is provided by the Cortex®-M0+ processor to reduce  the software complexity of repeated implementation by different device vendors. However, some  regions are used by the Arm® Cortex®-M0+ system peripherals. Refer to the Arm® Cortex®-M0+  Technical Reference Manual for more information. Figure 2 in the Overview chapter shows the  memory map of the device, including code, SRAM, peripheral and other pre-defined regions.

  The Basic Function Timer is a simple 32-bit up-counting counter designed to measure time  intervals and generate a one shot or repetitive interrupts. The BFTM operates in two functional  modes, repetitive and one shot modes. In the repetitive mode, the BFTM restarts the counter when  a compare match event occurs. The BFTM also supports a one shot mode which forces the counter  to stop counting when a compare match event occurs.

  ▆ Reset event for the system

  ▆ Programmable watchdog timer window function

  The Watchdog Timer is a hardware timing circuit that can be used to detect system failures due  to software malfunctions. It includes a 12-bit count-down counter, a prescaler, a WDT delta value  register, WDT operation control circuitry and a WDT protection mechanism. If the software does  not reload the counter value before a Watchdog Timer underflow occurs, a reset will be generated  when the counter underflows. In addition, a reset is also generated if the software reloads the  counter when the counter value is greater than the WDT delta value. This means the counter must  be reloaded within a limited timing window using a specific method. The Watchdog Timer counter  can be stopped while the processor is in the debug mode. There is a register write protect function  which can be enabled to prevent it from changing the Watchdog Timer configuration unexpectedly.

• Inter-integrated Circuit – I2 C

  ▆ Supports both master and slave modes with a frequency of up to 1 MHz

  ▆ Provides an arbitration function and clock synchronization

  ▆ Supports 7-bit and 10-bit addressing modes and general call addressing

  ▆ Supports slave multi-addressing mode with address mask function

  The I2 C is an internal circuit allowing communication with an external I2 C interface which is an  industry standard two line serial interface used for connection to external hardware. These two serial  lines are known as a serial data line, SDA, and a serial clock line, SCL. The I2 C module provides  three data transfer rates: 100 kHz in the Standard mode, 400 kHz in the Fast mode and 1 MHz in the Fast plus mode. The SCL period generation register is used to setup different kinds of duty  cycle implementations for the SCL pulse.

  The SDA line which is connected directly to the I2 C bus is a bi-directional data line between the  master and slave devices and is used for data transmission and reception. The I2 C also has an  arbitration detect function and clock synchronization to prevent situations where more than one  master attempts to transmit data to the I2 C bus at the same time.

• Serial Peripheral Interface – SPI

  ▆ Supports both master and slave modes

  ▆ Frequency of up to (fPCLK/2) MHz for the master mode and (fPCLK/3) MHz for the slave mode

  ▆ FIFO Depth: 8 levels

  ▆ Multi-master and multi-slave operation

  The Serial Peripheral Interface, SPI, provides an SPI protocol data transmit and receive function  in both master and slave modes. The SPI interface uses 4 pins, which are the serial data input and  output lines MISO and MOSI, the clock line, SCK, and the slave select line, SEL. One SPI device  acts as a master device which controls the data flow using the SEL and SCK signals to indicate the  start of data communication and the data sampling rate. To receive a data byte, the streamed data bits are latched on a specific clock edge and stored in the data register or in the RX FIFO. Data  transmission is carried out in a similar way but in a reverse sequence. The mode fault detection  provides a capability for multi-master applications.

The USART module includes a transmitter FIFO (TX FIFO) and receiver  FIFO (RX FIFO). The software can detect a USART error status by reading the Line Status  Register, LSR.

  ▆ Supports byte, half-word & word data size

  ▆ Programmable CRC initial seed value

  ▆ CRC computation executed in 1 AHB clock cycle for 8-bit data and 4 AHB clock cycles for 32- bit data

  The CRC calculation unit is an error detection technique test algorithm which is used to verify data  transmission or storage data correctness. A CRC calculation takes a data stream or a block of data  as its input and generates a 16-bit or 32-bit output remainder. Ordinarily, a data stream is suffixed  by a CRC code and used as a checksum when being sent or stored. Therefore, the received or  restored data stream is calculated by the same generator polynomial as described above. If the new  CRC code result does not match the one calculated earlier, that means the data stream contains a  data error.
