  1. AT91 Hardware and Power considerations

  2. Power Supply considerations

  3. Powering the AT91 (1/3) • Double Power Line (except for the AT91x40 family) : • I/O lines • VDDIO • Chip core • VDDCORE • Dedicated Power Lines : • Oscillator and PLL cells • VDDPLL • Analog peripherals ADC and DAC • VDDA • RTC, the 32768 Hz oscillator and the Shut-down Logic of the APMC • VDDBU

  4. Powering the AT91 (2/3) • Constraints • VDDIO  VDDCORE • VDDPLL  VDDCORE • VDDA  VDDCORE • VDDIO and VDDCORE are separated to permit the I/O Lines to be powered with 5V, thus resulting in full TTL compliance.

  5. Powering the AT91 (3/3) • Example : AT91M55800A Triple Supply with Shut Down Control Memories AT91M55800A DC/DC Converter 3.3V VDDIO 2.7V VDDCORE 16MHz Crystal Battery VDDBU 32KHz Crystal Level Shut Down Control Signal Any kind of wake-up signal SHD SHDN WAKEUP

  6. Reset considerations

  7. Resetting the AT91 • Two external reset inputs: • NRST microcontroller reset pin • NTRST JTAG/ICE reset pin (not available on the AT91x40 family) • Internal reset can also be generated by the watchdog and by software (EBI remap function allows dynamic reset vector) • Reset sources:

  8. Reset detection • NRST is an active low-level input. It is asserted asynchronously but exit from reset is synchronized internally to the MCK. • MCK must be active for a minimum of 10 clock cycles up to the rising edge of NRST • External (NRST) or Internal (Watchdog) Reset Request • Test the Reset Status Register • in the Special Function Module • If reads 0x6C : Cause of Reset is External NRST Pin assertion • If reads 0x53 : Cause of Reset is Internal Reset from Watchdog

  9. Constraints on Reset and related signals (1/2) • Tri-state mode • To enter tri-state mode, the pin NTRI must be held low during the last 10 clock cycles before the rising edge of NRST • For normal operation, the pin NTRI must be held during reset by a resistor of up to 400KOhm • Boot Mode Select • The input level on BMS pin during the last 10 clock cycles before the rising edge of NRST selects the boot memory

  10. Constraints on Reset and related signals (2/2) • JTAG/ICE Debug mode • JTAGSEL pin is sampled at Power-Up: • The JTAG/ICE debug mode is enabled when JTAGSEL is low • JTAG Boundary-scan is enabled when JTAGSEL is high

  11. Clock considerations

  12. Clock Connections (1/3) • The AT91x40 Family, the AT91M63200 and the AT91M43300 have a MCKI input pin on which a crystal oscillator has to be connected. • The AT91M42800A has 1 embedded oscillators: • The Slow Clock Oscillator • It has been designed for use with a 32.768 kHz fundamental crystal, • The oscillator integrates an equivalent load capacitance equal to 10 pF.

  13. Clock Connections (2/3) • The AT91M55800A has 2 embedded oscillators: • The RTC Oscillator powered by the backup battery voltage supplied on the VDDBU pins. • The XIN32 and XOUT32 pins must be connected to a 32768 Hz crystal, • The oscillator has been especially designed to connect to a 6 pF typical load capacitance crystal and does not require any external capacitor, as it integrates the XIN32 and XOUT32 capacitors to ground • For a higher typical load capacitance, two external capacitances must be wired.

  14. Clock Connections (3/3) • The Main Oscillator, which provides a clock that depends on the frequency of the crystal connected to the XIN and XOUT pins • The Main Oscillator is designed for a 3 to 20 MHz fundamentalcrystal, • The oscillator contains 25 pF capacitances on each XIN and XOUT pin. Consequently, CL1 and CL2 can be removed when a crystal with a load capacitance of 12.5 pF is used.

  15. Oscillator considerations

  16. Pierce oscillator • The crystal manufacturer specifies the typical load capacitor, • [internal load capacitor] + [external load capacitor] + [stray capacitor] must be equal to the specified load capacitor for the crystal.

  17. AT91M42800A Oscillator • Slow Clock Oscillator • Frequency running : 32.768 kHz typical • Maxi. current dissipation: 9 µA • Internal capacitance between [Xin]-[GND] or [Xout]-[GND]:20 pF (per pin) or a Internal Equivalent Load Capacitance of 10 pF • Start-up time: 1.5 s (depends on the crystal quality) • On-chip bias resistor

  18. AT91M55800A Oscillators (1/3) • RTC Oscillator • Frequency running : 32.768 kHz typical • Very Low Power Design: less than 1 µA • Internal capacitance between [Xin]-[GND] or [Xout]-[GND]:12 pF (per pin) or a Internal Equivalent Load Capacitance of 6 pF • Start-up time: 700 ms (depends on the crystal quality) • On-chip bias resistor • The AT91M55800A starts from the slow clock source, this oscillator must always be implemented => VDDBU must always be powered.

  19. AT91M55800A Oscillators (2/3) • Main Oscillator • Frequency running with large bandwidth: 3 to 20 MHz • Low Power Design • Internal capacitance between [Xin]-[GND] or [Xout]-[GND]:25 pF (per pin) or a Internal Equivalent Load Capacitance of 12.5 pF • Shutdown mode capability • Bypass mode capability. In this state, the external clock must be fitted on Xin input. The input bandwidth is: some kHz to 33 MHz. • On-chip bias resistor

  20. AT91M55800A Oscillators (3/3) • Startup Time : • Dedicated counter OSCOUNT in the Advanced Power Management Controller which indicates when the startup is finished. (in ms) (in MHz)

  21. PLL considerations

  22. AT91M42800A PLLs (1/2) • One oscillator (Low Frequency) • Two PLLs • PLL A, which provides a low-to-middle frequency clock range • PLL B, which provides a middle-to-high frequency range

  23. AT91M42800A PLLs (2/2) • Two PLLs are integrated in the AT91M42800A in order to cover a larger frequency range. • Both PLLs have a dedicated pin (PLLRCA or PLLRCB) which must be connected with an appropriate second order filter made up of one resistor and two capacitors. • Dedicated counter PLLCOUNT in the Power Management Controller which indicates when the transient state is finished (settling time).

  24. AT91M55800A PLL (1/2) • Two oscillators • Slow Clock Oscillator • Main Oscillator • One PLL to reach the maximum clock frequency

  25. AT91M55800A PLL (2/2) • Multiply the Main Oscillator frequency by a number up to 64 to reach the maximum frequency. • Dedicated PLLRC pin which must be connected with an appropriate second order filter made up of one resistor and two capacitors. • Dedicated counter PLLCOUNT in the Advanced Power Management Controller which indicates when the transient state is finished (settling time).
