6 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
6.1 ARM^® Cortex^® -M0 Core
The Cortex^® -M0 processor is a configurable, multistage, 32-bit RISC processor, which has an
AMBA AHB-Lite interface and includes an NVIC component. It also has optional hardware debug
functionality. The processor can execute Thumb code and is compatible with other Cortex^® -M
profile processor. The profile supports two modes -Thread mode and Handler mode. Handler
mode is entered as a result of an exception. An exception return can only be issued in Handler
mode. Thread mode is entered on Reset, and can be entered as a result of an exception return.
Figure 6.1-1 shows the functional controller of processor.

Figure 6.1-1 Functional Block Diagram
The implemented device provides:
 A low gate count processor:
– ARMv6-M Thumb® instruction set
– Thumb-2 technology
– ARMv6-M compliant 24-bit SysTick timer
– A 32-bit hardware multiplier
– System interface supported with little-endian data accesses
– Ability to have deterministic, fixed-latency, interrupt handling
– Load/store-multiples and multicycle-multiplies that can be abandoned and restarted to
facilitate rapid interrupt handling
– C Application Binary Interface compliant exception model. This is the ARMv6-M, C
Application Binary Interface (C-ABI) compliant exception model that enables the use
of pure C functions as interrupt handlers
– Low Power Sleep mode entry using the Wait For Interrupt (WFI), Wait For Event
(WFE) instructions, or return from interrupt sleep-on-exit feature
 NVIC:
