Architectural Overview
1.3.5.2
■ Highly flexible and configurable channel operation
– Independently configured and operated channels
– Dedicated channels for supported on-chip modules
– Primary and secondary channel assignments
– One channel each for receive and transmit path for bidirectional modules
– Dedicated channel for software-initiated transfers
– Per-channel configurable priority scheme
– Optional software-initiated requests for any channel
■ Two levels of priority
■ Design optimizations for improved bus access performance between µDMA controller and the
processor core
– µDMA controller access is subordinate to core access
– RAM striping
– Peripheral bus segmentation
■ Data sizes of 8, 16, and 32 bits
■ Transfer size is programmable in binary steps from 1 to 1024
■ Source and destination address increment size of byte, half-word, word, or no increment
■ Maskable peripheral requests
System Control and Clocks (see page 180)
System control determines the overall operation of the device. It provides information about the
device, controls power-saving features, controls the clocking of the device and individual peripherals,
and handles reset detection and reporting.
■ Device identification information: version, part number, SRAM size, Flash memory size, and so
on
■ Power control
– On-chip fixed Low Drop-Out (LDO) voltage regulator
– Hibernation module handles the power-up/down 3.3 V sequencing and control for the core
digital logic and analog circuits
– Low-power options for microcontroller: Sleep and Deep-sleep modes with clock gating
– Low-power options for on-chip modules: software controls shutdown of individual peripherals
and memory
– 3.3-V supply brown-out detection and reporting via interrupt or reset
