6 System Information and Electrical Specifications

6.1 Device Power Domains

The device core logic is split up into multiple power domains to optimize the Self-Test Clock Configuration power for a given application use case. There are 6 power domains in total: PD1, PD2, PD3, PD5, RAM_PD1, and RAM_PD2. Refer to Section 1.4 for more information.

PD1 is an "always-ON" power domain, which cannot be turned off. Each of the other power domains can be turned OFF one time during device initialization as per the application requirement. Refer to the Power Management Module (PMM) chapter of RM46x Technical Reference Manual (SPNU514) for more details.

NOTE

The clocks to a module must be turned off before powering down the core domain that contains the module.

NOTE

The logic in the modules that are powered down loses its power completely. Any access to modules that are powered down results in an abort being generated. When power is restored, the modules power-up to their default states (after normal power-up). No register or memory contents are preserved in the core domains that are turned off.

6.2 Voltage Monitor Characteristics

A voltage monitor is implemented on this device. The purpose of this voltage monitor is to eliminate the requirement for a specific sequence when powering up the core and I/O voltage supplies.

6.2.1 Important Considerations

  • The voltage monitor does not eliminate the need of a voltage supervisor circuit to ensure that the device is held in reset when the voltage supplies are out of range.
  • The voltage monitor only monitors the core supply (VCC) and the I/O supply (VCCIO). The other supplies are not monitored by the VMON. For example, if the VCCAD or VCCP are supplied from a source different from that for VCCIO, then there is no internal voltage monitor for the VCCAD and VCCP supplies.

6.2.2 Voltage Monitor Operation

The voltage monitor generates the Power Good MCU signal (PGMCU) as well as the I/Os Power Good IO signal (PGIO) on the device. During power-up or power-down, the PGMCU and PGIO are driven low when the core or I/O supplies are lower than the specified minimum monitoring thresholds. The PGIO and PGMCU being low isolates the core logic as well as the I/O controls during the power-up or power-down of the supplies. This allows the core and I/O supplies to be powered up or down in any order.

When the voltage monitor detects a low voltage on the I/O supply, it will assert a power-on reset. When the voltage monitor detects an out-of-range voltage on the core supply, it asynchronously makes all output pins high impedance, and asserts a power-on reset. The voltage monitor is disabled when the device enters a low power mode.

The VMON also incorporates a glitch filter for the nPORRST input. Refer to Section 6.3.3.1 for the timing information on this glitch filter.

Table 6-1 Voltage Monitoring Specifications

PARAMETER MIN TYP MAX UNIT
VMON Voltage monitoring thresholds VCC low - VCC level below this threshold is detected as too low. 0.75 0.9 1.13 V
VCC high - VCC level above this threshold is detected as too high. 1.40 1.7 2.1
VCCIO low - VCCIO level below this threshold is detected as too low. 1.85 2.4 2.9

6.2.3 Supply Filtering

The VMON has the capability to filter glitches on the VCC and VCCIO supplies.

The following table shows the characteristics of the supply filtering. Glitches in the supply larger than the maximum specification cannot be filtered.

Table 6-2 VMON Supply Glitch Filtering Capability

Parameter MIN MAX
Width of glitch on VCC that can be filtered 250 ns 1 µs
Width of glitch on VCCIO that can be filtered 250 ns 1 µs

6.3 Power Sequencing and Power On Reset

6.3.1 Power-Up Sequence

There is no timing dependency between the ramp of the VCCIO and the VCC supply voltage. The power-up sequence starts with the I/O voltage rising above the minimum I/O supply threshold, (see Table 6-4 for more details), core voltage rising above the minimum core supply threshold and the release of power-on reset. The high frequency oscillator will start up first and its amplitude will grow to an acceptable level. The oscillator start up time is dependent on the type of oscillator and is provided by the oscillator vendor. The different supplies to the device can be powered up in any order.

The device goes through the following sequential phases during power up.

Table 6-3 Power-Up Phases

Oscillator start-up and validity check 1032 oscillator cycles
eFuse autoload 1160 oscillator cycles
Flash pump power-up 688 oscillator cycles
Flash bank power-up 617 oscillator cycles
Total 3497 oscillator cycles

The CPU reset is released at the end of the above sequence and fetches the first instruction from address 0x00000000.

6.3.2 Power-Down Sequence

The different supplies to the device can be powered down in any order.

6.3.3 Power-On Reset: nPORRST

This is the power-on reset. This reset must be asserted by an external circuitry whenever the I/O or core supplies are outside the specified recommended range. This signal has a glitch filter on it. It also has an internal pulldown.

6.4 Warm Reset (nRST)

This is a bidirectional reset signal. The internal circuitry drives the signal low on detecting any device reset condition. An external circuit can assert a device reset by forcing the signal low. On this terminal, the output buffer is implemented as an open drain (drives low only). To ensure an external reset is not arbitrarily generated, TI recommends that an external pullup resistor is connected to this terminal.

This terminal has a glitch filter. It also has an internal pullup.

  • ECC On Tightly-Coupled Memory (TCM) Accesses
  • Hardware Vectored Interrupt (VIC) Port
  • Floating Point Coprocessor
  • Memory Protection Unit (MPU)

6.5.3 Dual Core Implementation

The device has two Cortex-R4F cores, where the output signals of both CPUs are compared in the CCM-R4 unit. To avoid common mode impacts the signals of the CPUs to be compared are delayed by 2 clock cycles as shown in Figure 6-3.

The CPUs have a diverse CPU placement given by following requirements:

  • different orientation; for example, CPU1 = "north" orientation, CPU2 = "flip west" orientation
  • dedicated guard ring for each CPU
RM46L450 RM46L850 dual_cpu_orient.gifFigure 6-2 Dual - CPU Orientation

6.5.4 Duplicate clock tree after GCLK

The CPU clock domain is split into two clock trees, one for each CPU, with the clock of the 2nd CPU running at the same frequency and in phase to the clock of CPU1. See Figure 6-3.

6.5.5 ARM Cortex-R4F CPU Compare Module (CCM-R4) for Safety

This device has two ARM Cortex-R4F CPU cores, where the output signals of both CPUs are compared in the CCM-R4 unit. To avoid common mode impacts the signals of the CPUs to be compared are delayed in a different way as shown in the figure below.

RM46L450 RM46L850 dual_core_implementation_pns160.gifFigure 6-3 Dual Core Implementation

To avoid an erroneous CCM-R4 compare error, the application software must initialize the registers of both CPUs before the registers are used, including function calls where the register values are pushed onto the stack.

6.5.6 CPU Self-Test

The CPU STC (Self-Test Controller) is used to test the two Cortex-R4F CPU Cores using the Deterministic Logic BIST Controller as the test engine.

The main features of the self-test controller are:

  • Ability to divide the complete test run into independent test intervals
  • Capable of running the complete test as well as running few intervals at a time
  • Ability to continue from the last executed interval (test set) as well as ability to restart from the beginning (First test set)
  • Complete isolation of the self-tested CPU core from rest of the system during the self-test run
  • Ability to capture the Failure interval number
  • Timeout counter for the CPU self-test run as a fail-safe feature

6.5.6.1 Application Sequence for CPU Self-Test

  1. Configure clock domain frequencies.
  2. Select number of test intervals to be run.
  3. Configure the timeout period for the self-test run.
  4. Enable self-test.
  5. Wait for CPU reset.
  6. In the reset handler, read CPU self-test status to identify any failures.
  7. Retrieve CPU state if required.

For more information see RM46x Technical Reference Manual (SPNU514).

6.5.6.2 CPU Self-Test Clock Configuration

The maximum clock rate for the self-test is 100MHz. The STCCLK is divided down from the CPU clock. This divider is configured by the STCCLKDIV register at address 0xFFFFE108.

For more information see RM46x Technical Reference Manual (SPNU514).

6.5.6.3 CPU Self-Test Coverage

Table 6-7 shows CPU test coverage achieved for each self-test interval. It also lists the cumulative test cycles. The test time can be calculated by multiplying the number of test cycles with the STC clock period.

6.6 Clocks

6.6.1 Clock Sources

The table below lists the available clock sources on the device. Each of the clock sources can be enabled or disabled using the CSDISx registers in the system module. The clock source number in the table corresponds to the control bit in the CSDISx register for that clock source.

The table also shows the default state of each clock source.

Table 6-8 Available Clock Sources

0 OSCIN Main Oscillator Enabled
1 PLL1 Output From PLL1 Disabled
2 Reserved Reserved Disabled
3 EXTCLKIN1 External Clock Input #1 Disabled
4 LFLPO Low Frequency Output of Internal Reference Oscillator Enabled
5 HFLPO High Frequency Output of Internal Reference Oscillator Enabled
6 PLL2 Output From PLL2 Disabled
7 EXTCLKIN2 External Clock Input #2 Disabled

6.6.1.1 Main Oscillator

The oscillator is enabled by connecting the appropriate fundamental resonator/crystal and load capacitors across the external OSCIN and OSCOUT pins as shown in Figure 6-4. The oscillator is a single stage inverter held in bias by an integrated bias resistor. This resistor is disabled during leakage test measurement and low power modes.

TI strongly encourages each customer to submit samples of the device to the resonator/crystal vendors for validation. The vendors are equipped to determine what load capacitors will best tune their resonator/crystal to the microcontroller device for optimum start-up and operation over temperature/voltage extremes.

An external oscillator source can be used by connecting a 3.3 V clock signal to the OSCIN pin and leaving the OSCOUT pin unconnected (open) as shown in the figure below.

6.6.2.2 Mapping of Clock Domains to Device Modules

Each clock domain has a dedicated functionality as shown in the figures below.

RM46L450 RM46L850 dev_clock_domains_f1_f5_spns185.gifFigure 6-7 Device Clock Domains

6.6.2.3 Special Clock Source Selection Scheme for VCLKA4_DIVR_EMAC

Some applications may need to use both the of Ethernet interfaces. The MII interface requires VCLKA4_DIVR_EMAC to be 25MHz and the RMII requires VCLKA4_DIVR_EMAC to be 50MHz.

These different frequencies are supported by adding special dedicated clock source selection options for the VCLKA4_DIVR_EMAC clock domain. This logic is shown in .

RM46L450 RM46L850 VCLKA4_DIVR_EMAC_option_spns192.gifFigure 6-8 VCLKA4_DIVR Source Selection Options

The PLL2 post_ODCLK is brought out as a separate output from the PLL wrapper module. There are two additional dividers implemented at the device-level to divide this PLL2 post_ODCLK by 8 and by 16.

As shown in , the VCLKA4_SRC configured through the system module VCLKACON1 control register is used to determine the clock source for the VCLKA4_S and VCLKA4_DIVR. An additional multiplexor is implemented to select between the VCLKA4_DIVR and the two additional clock sources – PLL2 post_ODCLK/8 and post_ODCLK/16.

The selection is done as shown in the following table.

Table 6-14 VCLKA4_DIVR_EMAC Clock Source Selection

6.6.3 Clock Test Mode

The RM4x platform architecture defines a special mode that allows various clock signals to be brought out on to the ECLK pin and N2HET1[12] device outputs. This mode is called the Clock Test mode. It is very useful for debugging purposes and can be configured through the CLKTEST register in the system module.

6.7 Clock Monitoring

The LPO Clock Detect (LPOCLKDET) module consists of a clock monitor (CLKDET) and an internal low power oscillator (LPO).

The LPO provides two different clock sources – a low frequency (LFLPO) and a high frequency (HFLPO).

The CLKDET is a supervisor circuit for an externally supplied clock signal (OSCIN). In case the OSCIN frequency falls out of a frequency window, the CLKDET flags this condition in the global status register (GLBSTAT bit 0: OSC FAIL) and switches all clock domains sourced by OSCIN to the HFLPO clock (limp mode clock).

The valid OSCIN frequency range is defined as: fHFLPO / 4 < fOSCIN < fHFLPO * 4.

6.7.1 Clock Monitor Timings

For more information on LPO and Clock detection, refer to Table 6-10.

RM46L450 RM46L850 LPO_Clk_Detection_pns160.gifFigure 6-9 LPO and Clock Detection, Untrimmed HFLPO

6.7.2 External Clock (ECLK) Output Functionality

The ECLK pin can be configured to output a pre-scaled clock signal indicative of an internal device clock. This output can be externally monitored as a safety diagnostic.

6.7.3 Dual Clock Comparators

The Dual Clock Comparator (DCC) module determines the accuracy of selectable clock sources by counting the pulses of two independent clock sources (counter 0 and counter 1). If one clock is out of spec, an error signal is generated. For example, the DCC1 can be configured to use HFLPO as the reference clock (for counter 0) and VCLK as the "clock under test" (for counter 1). This configuration allows the DCC1 to monitor the PLL output clock when VCLK is using the PLL output as its source.

An additional use of this module is to measure the frequency of a selectable clock source, using the input clock as a reference, by counting the pulses of two independent clock sources. Counter 0 generates a fixed-width counting window after a preprogrammed number of pulses. Counter 1 generates a fixed-width pulse (1 cycle) after a pre-programmed number of pulses. This pulse sets as an error signal if counter 1 does not reach 0 within the counting window generated by counter 0.

6.7.3.1 Features

  • Takes two different clock sources as input to two independent counter blocks.
  • One of the clock sources is the known-good, or reference clock; the second clock source is the "clock under test."
  • Each counter block is programmable with initial, or seed values.
  • The counter blocks start counting down from their seed values at the same time; a mismatch from the expected frequency for the clock under test generates an error signal which is used to interrupt the CPU.

6.9.3 Special Consideration for CPU Access Errors Resulting in Imprecise Aborts

Any CPU write access to a Normal or Device type memory, which generates a fault, will generate an imprecise abort. The imprecise abort exception is disabled by default and must be enabled for the CPU to handle this exception. The imprecise abort handling is enabled by clearing the "A" bit in the CPU’s program status register (CPSR).

6.9.4 Master/Slave Access Privileges

The table below lists the access permissions for each bus master on the device. A bus master is a module that can initiate a read or a write transaction on the device.

Each slave module on the main interconnect is listed in the table. A "Yes" indicates that the module listed in the "MASTERS" column can access that slave module.

6.9.5 Special Notes on Accesses to Certain Slaves

Write accesses to the Power Domain Management Module (PMM) control registers are limited to the CPU (master id = 1). The other masters can only read from these registers.

A debugger can also write to the PMM registers. The master-id check is disabled in debug mode.

The device contains dedicated logic to generate a bus error response on any access to a module that is in a power domain that has been turned OFF.

6.9.6 Parameter Overlay Module (POM) Considerations

  • The POM can map onto up to 8MB of the internal or external memory space. The starting address and the size of the memory overlay are configurable through the POM control registers. Care must be taken to ensure that the overlay is mapped on to available memory.
  • ECC must be disabled by software through CP15 in case POM overlay is enabled; otherwise ECC errors will be generated.
  • POM overlay must not be enabled when the flash and internal RAM memories are swapped through the MEM SWAP field of the Bus Matrix Module Control Register 1 (BMMCR1).
  • When POM is used to overlay the flash on to internal or external RAM, there is a bus contention possibility when another master accesses the TCM flash. This results in a system hang.
    • The POM implements a timeout feature to detect this exact scenario. The timeout needs to be enabled whenever POM overlay is enabled.
    • The timeout can be enabled by writing 1010 to the Enable TimeOut (ETO) field of the POM Global Control register (POMGLBCTRL, address = 0xFFA04000).
    • In case a read request by the POM cannot be completed within 32 HCLK cycles, the timeout (TO) flag is set in the POM Flag register (POMFLG, address = 0xFFA0400C). Also, an abort is generated to the CPU. This can be a prefetch abort for an instruction fetch or a data abort for a data fetch.
    • The prefetch- and data-abort handlers must be modified to check if the TO flag in the POM is set. If so, then the application can assume that the timeout is caused by a bus contention between the POM transaction and another master accessing the same memory region. The abort handlers need to clear the TO flag, so that any further aborts are not misinterpreted as having been caused due to a timeout from the POM.

6.10 Flash Memory

6.10.1 Flash Memory Configuration

Flash Bank: A separate block of logic consisting of 1 to 16 sectors. Each flash bank normally has a customer-OTP and a TI-OTP area. These flash sectors share input/output buffers, data paths, sense amplifiers, and control logic.

Flash Sector: A contiguous region of flash memory which must be erased simultaneously due to physical construction constraints.

Flash Pump: A charge pump which generates all the voltages required for reading, programming, or erasing the flash banks.

Flash Module: Interface circuitry required between the host CPU and the flash banks and pump module.

6.10.2 Main Features of Flash Module

  • Support for multiple flash banks for program and/or data storage
  • Simultaneous read access on a bank while performing program or erase operation on any other bank
  • Integrated state machines to automate flash erase and program operations
  • Pipelined mode operation to improve instruction access interface bandwidth
  • Support for Single Error Correction Double Error Detection (SECDED) block inside Cortex-R4F CPU
    • Error address is captured for host system debugging
  • Support for a rich set of diagnostic features

6.10.3 ECC Protection for Flash Accesses

All accesses to the program flash memory are protected by Single Error Correction Double Error Detection (SECDED) logic embedded inside the CPU. The flash module provides 8 bits of ECC code for 64 bits of instructions or data fetched from the flash memory. The CPU calculates the expected ECC code based on the 64 bits received and compares it with the ECC code returned by the flash module. A single-bit error is corrected and flagged by the CPU, while a multibit error is only flagged. The CPU signals an ECC error through its Event bus. This signaling mechanism is not enabled by default and must be enabled by setting the "X" bit of the Performance Monitor Control Register, c9.

The application must also explicitly enable the CPU's ECC checking for accesses on the CPU's ATCM and BTCM interfaces. These are connected to the program flash and data RAM respectively. ECC checking for these interfaces can be done by setting the B1TCMPCEN, B0TCMPCEN and ATCMPCEN bits of the System Control coprocessor's Auxiliary Control Register, c1.

6.11 Tightly Coupled RAM Interface Module

Figure 6-12 illustrates the connection of the Tightly Coupled RAM (TCRAM) to the Cortex-R4F CPU.

RM46L450 RM46L850 tcram_fbd_spns185.gifFigure 6-12 TCRAM Block Diagram

6.11.1 Features

The features of the Tightly Coupled RAM (TCRAM) Module are:

  • Acts as slave to the BTCM interface of the Cortex-R4F CPU
  • Supports the internal ECC scheme of the CPU by providing 64-bit data and 8-bit ECC code
  • Monitors CPU Event Bus and generates single or multibit error interrupts
  • Stores addresses for single and multibit errors
  • Supports RAM trace module
  • Provides CPU address bus integrity checking by supporting parity checking on the address bus
  • Performs redundant address decoding for the RAM bank chip select and ECC select generation logic
  • Provides enhanced safety for the RAM addressing by implementing two 36-bit-wide byte-interleaved RAM banks and generating independent RAM access control signals to the two banks
  • Supports auto-initialization of the RAM banks along with the ECC bits

6.11.2 TCRAM ECC Support

The TCRAM interface passes on the ECC code for each data read by the Cortex-R4F CPU from the RAM. It also stores the contents of the CPU ECC port in the ECC RAM when the CPU does a write to the RAM. The TCRAM interface monitors the CPU event bus and provides registers for indicating single/multibit errors and also for identifying the address that caused the single or multibit error. The event signaling and the ECC checking for the RAM accesses must be enabled inside the CPU.

For more information see RM46x Technical Reference Manual (SPNU514).

6.12 Parity Protection for Accesses to Peripheral RAMs

Accesses to some peripheral RAMs are protected by odd/even parity checking. During a read access the parity is calculated based on the data read from the peripheral RAM and compared with the good parity value stored in the parity RAM for that peripheral. If any word fails the parity check, the module generates a parity error signal that is mapped to the Error Signaling Module. The module also captures the peripheral RAM address that caused the parity error.

The parity protection for peripheral RAMs is not enabled by default and must be enabled by the application. Each individual peripheral contains control registers to enable the parity protection for accesses to its RAM.

NOTE

The CPU read access gets the actual data from the peripheral. The application can choose to generate an interrupt whenever a peripheral RAM parity error is detected.

The PBIST ROM clock is divided down from HCLK. The divider is selected by programming the ROM_DIV field of the Memory Self-Test Global Control Register (MSTGCR) at address 0xFFFFFF58.

6.13.2 On-Chip SRAM Auto Initialization

This microcontroller allows some of the on-chip memories to be initialized through the Memory Hardware Initialization mechanism in the System module. This hardware mechanism allows an application to program the memory arrays with error detection capability to a known state based on their error detection scheme (odd/even parity or ECC).

The MINITGCR register enables the memory initialization sequence, and the MSINENA register selects the memories that are to be initialized.

For more information on these registers see RM46x Technical Reference Manual (SPNU514).

The mapping of the different on-chip memories to the specific bits of the MSINENA registers is shown in Table 6-27.

(1) Not available in the RM46L450 configuration.
(2) The TCM RAM interface module has separate control bits to select the RAM power domain that is to be auto-initialized.
(3) The MibSPIx modules perform an initialization of the transmit and receive RAMs as soon as the module is released from its local reset.. This is independent of whether the application chooses to initialize the MibSPIx RAMs using the system module auto-initialization method. The MibSPIx module must be first brought out of its local reset in order to use the system module auto-initialization method.

Figure 6-14 and Figure 6-16 describe EMIF transactions that include extended wait states inserted during the STROBE phase. However, cycles inserted as part of this extended wait period should not be counted; the 4E requirement is to the start of where the HOLD phase would begin if there were no extended wait cycles.

6.15 Vectored Interrupt Manager

The vectored interrupt manager (VIM) provides hardware assistance for prioritizing and controlling the many interrupt sources present on this device. Interrupts are caused by events outside of the normal flow of program execution. Normally, these events require a timely response from the central processing unit (CPU); therefore, when an interrupt occurs, the CPU switches execution from the normal program flow to an interrupt service routine (ISR).

6.15.1 VIM Features

The VIM module has the following features:

  • Supports 128 interrupt channels.
    • Provides programmable priority and enable for interrupt request lines.
  • Provides a direct hardware dispatch mechanism for fastest IRQ dispatch.
  • Provides two software dispatch mechanisms when the CPU VIC port is not used.
    • Index interrupt
    • Register vectored interrupt
  • Parity protected vector interrupt table against soft errors.

NOTE

Address location 0x00000000 in the VIM RAM is reserved for the phantom interrupt ISR entry; therefore only request channels 0..126 can be used and are offset by 1 address in the VIM RAM.

NOTE

The EMIF_nWAIT signal has a pull-up on it. The EMIF module generates a "Wait Rise" interrupt whenever it detects a rising edge on the EMIF_nWAIT signal. This interrupt condition is indicated as soon as the device is powered up. This can be ignored if the EMIF_nWAIT signal is not used in the application. If the EMIF_nWAIT signal is actually used in the application, then the external slave memory must always drive the EMIF_nWAIT signal such that an interrupt is not caused due to the default pull-up on this signal.

NOTE

The lower-order interrupt channels are higher priority channels than the higher-order interrupt channels.

NOTE

The application can change the mapping of interrupt sources to the interrupt channels through the interrupt channel control registers (CHANCTRLx) inside the VIM module.

6.16 DMA Controller

The DMA controller is used to transfer data between two locations in the memory map in the background of CPU operations. Typically, the DMA is used to:

  • Transfer blocks of data between external and internal data memories
  • Restructure portions of internal data memory
  • Continually service a peripheral

6.16.1 DMA Features

  • CPU independent data transfer
  • One 64-bit master port that interfaces to the RM4x Memory System.
  • FIFO buffer(4 entries deep and each 64bit wide)
  • Channel control information is stored in RAM protected by parity
  • 16 channels with individual enable
  • Channel chaining capability
  • 32 peripheral DMA requests
  • Hardware and Software DMA requests
  • 8, 16, 32 or 64-bit transactions supported
  • Multiple addressing modes for source/destination (fixed, increment, offset)
  • Auto-initiation
  • Power-management mode
  • Memory Protection with four configurable memory regions

6.16.2 Default DMA Request Map

The DMA module on this microcontroller has 16 channels and up to 32 hardware DMA requests. The module contains DREQASIx registers which are used to map the DMA requests to the DMA channels. By default, channel 0 is mapped to request 0, channel 1 to request 1, and so on.

Some DMA requests have multiple sources, as shown in Table 6-33. The application must ensure that only one of these DMA request sources is enabled at any time.

6.17 Real Time Interrupt Module

The real-time interrupt (RTI) module provides timer functionality for operating systems and for benchmarking code. The RTI module can incorporate several counters that define the timebases needed for scheduling an operating system.

The timers also allow you to benchmark certain areas of code by reading the values of the counters at the beginning and the end of the desired code range and calculating the difference between the values.

6.17.1 Features

The RTI module has the following features:

  • Two independent 64 bit counter blocks
  • Four configurable compares for generating operating system ticks or DMA requests. Each event can be driven by either counter block 0 or counter block 1.
  • Fast enabling/disabling of events
  • Two time-stamp (capture) functions for system or peripheral interrupts, one for each counter block

6.17.2 Block Diagrams

Figure 6-19 shows a high-level block diagram for one of the two 64-bit counter blocks inside the RTI module. Both the counter blocks are identical except the Network Time Unit (NTUx) inputs are only available as time base inputs for the counter block 0.

RM46L450 RM46L850 rti_compare_bd_pns160.gifFigure 6-20 Compare Block Diagram

6.17.3 Clock Source Options

The RTI module uses the RTI1CLK clock domain for generating the RTI time bases.

The application can select the clock source for the RTI1CLK by configuring the RCLKSRC register in the System module at address 0xFFFFFF50. The default source for RTI1CLK is VCLK.

For more information on clock sources refer to Table 6-8 and Table 6-13.

6.17.4 Network Time Synchronization Inputs

The RTI module supports 4 Network Time Unit (NTU) inputs that signal internal system events, and which can be used to synchronize the time base used by the RTI module. On this device, these NTU inputs are connected as shown below.

Table 6-34 Network Time Synchronization Inputs

6.18 Error Signaling Module

The Error Signaling Module (ESM) manages the various error conditions on the RM4x microcontroller. The error condition is handled based on a fixed severity level assigned to it. Any severe error condition can be configured to drive a low level on a dedicated device terminal called nERROR. This can be used as an indicator to an external monitor circuit to put the system into a safe state.

6.18.1 Features

The features of the Error Signaling Module are:

  • 128 interrupt/error channels are supported, divided into 3 different groups
    • 64 channels with maskable interrupt and configurable error pin behavior
    • 32 error channels with non-maskable interrupt and predefined error pin behavior
    • 32 channels with predefined error pin behavior only
  • Error pin to signal severe device failure
  • Configurable timebase for error signal
  • Error forcing capability

6.18.2 ESM Channel Assignments

The Error Signaling Module (ESM) integrates all the device error conditions and groups them in the order of severity. Group1 is used for errors of the lowest severity while Group3 is used for errors of the highest severity. The device response to each error is determined by the severity group it is connected to. Table 6-36 shows the channel assignment for each group.

Table 6-35 ESM Groups

ERROR GROUP INTERRUPT CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE ON ERROR PIN
Group1 maskable, low or high priority configurable
Group2 non-maskable, high priority fixed
Group3 no interrupt generated fixed

6.20 Digital Windowed Watchdog

This device includes a digital windowed watchdog (DWWD) module that protects against runaway code execution.

The DWWD module allows the application to configure the time window within which the DWWD module expects the application to service the watchdog. A watchdog violation occurs if the application services the watchdog outside of this window, or fails to service the watchdog at all. The application can choose to generate a system reset or an ESM group2 error signal in case of a watchdog violation.

The watchdog is disabled by default and must be enabled by the application. Once enabled, the watchdog can only be disabled upon a system reset.

6.21.6 Advanced JTAG Security Module

This device includes a an Advanced JTAG Security Module (AJSM). which provides maximum security to the device’s memory content by allowing users to secure the device after programming.

RM46L450 RM46L850 ajsm_unlock_pns160.gifFigure 6-23 AJSM Unlock

The device is unsecure by default by virtue of a 128-bit visible unlock code programmed in the OTP address 0xF0000000.The OTP contents are XOR-ed with the "Unlock By Scan" register contents. The outputs of these XOR gates are again combined with a set of secret internal tie-offs. The output of this combinational logic is compared against a secret hard-wired 128-bit value. A match results in the UNLOCK signal being asserted, so that the device is now unsecure.

A user can secure the device by changing at least one bit in the visible unlock code from 1 to 0. Changing a 0 to 1 is not possible since the visible unlock code is stored in the One Time Programmable (OTP) flash region. Also, changing all the 128 bits to zeros is not a valid condition and will permanently secure the device.

Once secured, a user can unsecure the device by scanning an appropriate value into the "Unlock By Scan" register of the AJSM module. This register is accessible by configuring an IR value of 0b1011 on the AJSM TAP. The value to be scanned is such that the XOR of the OTP contents and the Unlock-By-Scan register contents results in the original visible unlock code.

The Unlock-By-Scan register is reset only upon asserting power-on reset (nPORRST).

A secure device only permits JTAG accesses to the AJSM scan chain through the Secondary Tap # 2 of the ICEPick module. All other secondary taps, test taps and the boundary scan interface are not accessible in this state.

6.21.7 Boundary Scan Chain

The device supports BSDL-compliant boundary scan for testing pin-to-pin compatibility. The boundary scan chain is connected to the Boundary Scan Interface of the ICEPICK module.

RM46L450 RM46L850 boundary_scan_implementation _pns160.gifFigure 6-24 Boundary Scan Implementation (Conceptual Diagram)

Data is serially shifted into all boundary-scan buffers through TDI, and out through TDO.
