The Cortex®-M3 processor is a general-purpose 32-bit processor core especially suitable for products requiring high performance and low power consumption microcontrollers. It offers many special features such as a Thumb-2 instruction set, hardware divider, low latency interrupt respond time, atomic bit-banding access and multiple buses for simultaneous accesses. The Cortex®-M3 processor is based on the ARMv7 architecture and supports both Thumb and Thumb-2 instruction sets.
▆ 64 KB on-chip Flash memory for instruction/data and option storage
▆ 16 KB on-chip SRAM
▆ Supports multiple boot modes
The Arm® Cortex®-M3 processor is structured using Harvard architecture which uses a separate bus structure to fetch instructions and load/store data. The instruction code and data are both located in the same memory address space but in different address ranges. The maximum address range of the Cortex®-M3 is 4 GB due to its 32-bit bus address width. Additionally, a pre-defined memory map is provided by the Cortex®-M3 processor to reduce the software complexity of repeated implementation for different device vendors. However, some regions are used by the Arm® Cortex®-M3 system peripherals. Refer to the Arm® Cortex®-M3 Technical Reference Manual for more information. Figure 2 shows the memory map of the HT32F12345 device, including Code, SRAM, peripheral, and other pre-defined regions.

▆ 32-bit word programming with In System Programming Interface (ISP) and In Application Programming (IAP)
▆ Flash protection capability to prevent illegal access
The Flash Memory Controller, FMC, provides all the necessary functions and pre-fetch buffer for the embedded on-chip Flash Memory. Since the access speed of the Flash Memory is slower than the CPU, a wide access interface with a pre-fetch buffer and cache are provided for the Flash Memory in order to reduce the CPU waiting time which will cause CPU instruction execution delays. Flash Memory word program/page erase functions are also provided.

▆ Repetitive mode - restart counter after a match condition
The Basic Function Timer is a simple count-up 32-bit counter designed to measure time intervals and generate a one shot or repetitive interrupts. The BFTM operates in two functional modes, repetitive or one shot mode. 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.
▆ 12-bit down counter with 3-bit prescaler
▆ Interrupt or reset event for the system
▆ Programmable watchdog timer window function
▆ Register write protection 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 counter value register, a WDT delta value register, interrupt related circuits, WDT operation control circuitry and a WDT protection mechanism. The Watchdog Timer can be operated in an interrupt mode or a reset mode. The Watchdog Timer will generate an interrupt or a reset when the counter counts down and reaches a zero value. If the software does not reload the counter value before a Watchdog Timer underflow occurs, an interrupt or a reset will be generated when the counter underflows. In addition, an interrupt or reset is also generated if the software reloads the counter when the counter value is greater than or equal to 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.
▆ 32-bit up-counter with a programmable prescaler
▆ Alarm function
▆ Interrupt and Wake-up event
The Real Time Clock, RTC for short, includes an APB interface, a 32-bit count-up counter, a control register, a prescaler, a compare register and a status register. Most of the RTC circuits are located in the Backup Domain except for the APB interface. The APB interface is located in the VDD15 power domain. Therefore, it is necessary to be isolated from the ISO signal that comes from the power control unit when the VDD15 power domain is powered off, that is when the device enters the Power-Down mode. The RTC counter is used as a wakeup timer to generate a system resume signal from the Power-Down mode.

The I2 C Module 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: (1) 100 kHz in the Standard mode, (2) 400 kHz in the Fast mode and (3) 1 MHz in the Fast mode 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 module 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.
▆ Supports both master and slave mode
▆ Frequency of up to (fPCLK/2) MHz for master mode and (fPCLK/3) MHz for 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 a receiver FIFO (RX_FIFO). The software can detect a USART error status by reading the Line Status Register, LSR. The status includes the type and the condition of transfer operations as well as several error conditions resulting from Parity, Overrun, Framing and Break events.

▆ Supports PDMA to complete a CRC computation of a block of memory
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 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 data stream contains a data error.

The Peripheral Direct Memory Access controller, PDMA, moves data between the peripherals and the system memory on the AHB bus. Each PDMA channel has a source address, destination address, block length and transfer count. The PDMA can exclude the CPU intervention and avoid interrupt service routine execution. It improves system performance as the software does not need to join each data movement operation.
