Serial Communications Peripherals
The TM4C129LNCZAD controller supports both asynchronous and synchronous serial
communications with:
■ 10/100 Ethernet MAC with Advanced IEEE 1588 PTP hardware and both Media Independent
Interface (MII) and Reduced MII (RMII) support; integrated PHY provided
■ Two CAN 2.0 A/B controllers
■ USB 2.0 Controller OTG/Host/Device with optional high speed using external PHY through ULPI
interface
■ Eight UARTs with IrDA, 9-bit and ISO 7816 support.
■ Ten I²C modules with four transmission speeds including high-speed mode
■ Four Quad Synchronous Serial Interface modules (QSSI) with bi- and quad-SSI support
The following sections provide more detail on each of these communications functions.
Ethernet MAC and PHY (see page 1552)
The TM4C129LNCZAD Ethernet Controller consists of a fully integrated media access controller
(MAC) and network physical (PHY) interface with the following features:
■ Conforms to the IEEE 802.3 specification

– Supports flow control and back pressure
– Full-featured and enhanced auto-negotiation
– Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag detection
■ Conforms to IEEE 1588-2002 Timestamp Precision Time Protocol (PTP) protocol and the IEEE
1588-2008 Advanced Timestamp specification
– Transmit and Receive frame time stamping
– Precision Time Protocol
– Flexible pulse per second output
– Supports coarse and fine correction methods
■ Multiple addressing modes
– Four MAC address filters
– Programmable 64-bit Hash Filter for multicast address filtering
