Cortex-M4 Peripherals
This chapter provides information on the Tiva™ C Series implementation of the Cortex-M4 processor
peripherals, including:
■ SysTick (see page 137)
Provides a simple, 24-bit clear-on-write, decrementing, wrap-on-zero counter with a flexible
control mechanism.
■ Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) (see page 138)
– Facilitates low-latency exception and interrupt handling
– Controls power management
– Implements system control registers
■ System Control Block (SCB) (see page 139)
Provides system implementation information and system control, including configuration, control,
and reporting of system exceptions.
■ Memory Protection Unit (MPU) (see page 139)
Supports the standard ARMv7 Protected Memory System Architecture (PMSA) model. The MPU
provides full support for protection regions, overlapping protection regions, access permissions,
and exporting memory attributes to the system.
■ Floating-Point Unit (FPU) (see page 144)
Fully supports single-precision add, subtract, multiply, divide, multiply and accumulate, and
square root operations. It also provides conversions between fixed-point and floating-point data
formats, and floating-point constant instructions.
Table 3-1 on page 136 shows the address map of the Private Peripheral Bus (PPB). Some peripheral
register regions are split into two address regions, as indicated by two addresses listed.
