6 System Information and Electrical Specifications

6.1 Voltage Monitor Characteristics

A voltage monitor is implemented on this device. The purpose of this voltage monitor is to eliminate the requirement for a specific sequence when powering up the core and I/O voltage supplies.

6.1.1 Important Considerations

  • The voltage monitor does not eliminate the need of a voltage supervisor circuit to ensure that the device is held in reset when the voltage supplies are out of range.
  • The voltage monitor only monitors the core supply (VCC) and the I/O supply (VCCIO). The other supplies are not monitored by the VMON. For example, if the VCCAD or VCCP are supplied from a source different from that for VCCIO, then there is no internal voltage monitor for the VCCAD and VCCP supplies.

6.1.2 Voltage Monitor Operation

The voltage monitor generates the Power Good MCU signal (PGMCU) as well as the I/Os Power Good I/O signal (PGIO) on the device. During power up or power down, the PGMCU and PGIO are driven low when the core or I/O supplies are lower than the specified minimum monitoring thresholds. The PGIO and PGMCU being low isolates the core logic as well as the I/O controls during the power up or power down of the supplies. This allows the core and I/O supplies to be powered up or down in any order.

When the voltage monitor detects a low voltage on the I/O supply, it will assert a power-on reset. When the voltage monitor detects an out-of-range voltage on the core supply, it asynchronously makes all output pins high impedance, and asserts a power-on reset. The voltage monitor is disabled when the device enters a low power mode.

The VMON also incorporates a glitch filter for the nPORRST input. Refer to Section 6.2.3.1 for the timing information on this glitch filter.

Table 6-1 Voltage Monitoring Specifications

PARAMETER MIN TYP MAX UNIT
VMON Voltage monitoring thresholds VCC low - VCC level below this threshold is detected as too low. 0.75 0.9 1.13 V
VCC high - VCC level above this threshold is detected as too high. 1.40 1.7 2.1
VCCIO low - VCCIO level below this threshold is detected as too low. 1.85 2.4 2.9

6.1.3 Supply Filtering

The VMON has the capability to filter glitches on the VCC and VCCIO supplies.

Table 6-2 shows the characteristics of the supply filtering. Glitches in the supply larger than the maximum specification cannot be filtered.

Table 6-2 VMON Supply Glitch Filtering Capability

PARAMETER MIN MAX UNIT
Width of glitch on VCC that can be filtered 250 1000 ns
Width of glitch on VCCIO that can be filtered 250 1000 ns

6.2 Power Sequencing and Power-On Reset

6.2.1 Power-Up Sequence

There is no timing dependency between the ramp of the VCCIO and the VCC supply voltage. The power-up sequence starts with the I/O voltage rising above the minimum I/O supply threshold, (for more details, see Table 6-4), core voltage rising above the minimum core supply threshold, and the release of power-on reset. The high-frequency oscillator will start up first and its amplitude will grow to an acceptable level. The oscillator start-up time is dependent on the type of oscillator and is provided by the oscillator vendor. The different supplies to the device can be powered up in any order.

During power up, the device goes through the sequential phases listed in Table 6-3.

Table 6-3 Power-Up Phases

Oscillator start-up and validity check 1032 oscillator cycles
eFuse autoload 1160 oscillator cycles
Flash pump power up 688 oscillator cycles
Flash bank power up 617 oscillator cycles
Total 3497 oscillator cycles

The CPU reset is released at the end of this sequence and fetches the first instruction from address 0x00000000.

6.2.2 Power-Down Sequence

The different supplies to the device can be powered down in any order.

6.2.3 Power-On Reset: nPORRST

This reset must be asserted by an external circuitry whenever the I/O or core supplies are outside the recommended range. This signal has a glitch filter on it. It also has an internal pulldown.

6.2.3.1 nPORRST Electrical and Timing Requirements

6.3 Warm Reset (nRST)

This is a bidirectional reset signal. The internal circuitry drives the signal low on detecting any device reset condition. An external circuit can assert a device reset by forcing the signal low. On this terminal, the output buffer is implemented as an open drain (drives low only). To ensure an external reset is not arbitrarily generated, TI recommends that an external pullup resistor is connected to this terminal.

This terminal has a glitch filter. It also has an internal pullup

  • Two Watchpoints
  • A Perfomance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
  • A Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC) port.

For more information on the ARM Cortex-R4 CPU, see www.arm.com.

6.4.2 ARM Cortex-R4 CPU Features Enabled by Software

The following CPU features are disabled on reset and must be enabled by the application if required.

  • ECC On Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM) Accesses
  • Hardware Vectored Interrupt (VIC) Port
  • Memory Protection Unit (MPU)

6.4.3 Dual Core Implementation

The device has two Cortex-R4 cores, where the output signals of both CPUs are compared in the CCM-R4 unit. To avoid common mode impacts the signals of the CPUs to be compared are delayed by 2 clock cycles as shown in Figure 6-3.

The CPUs have a diverse CPU placement given by following requirements:

  • Different orientation; for example, CPU1 = "north" orientation, CPU2 = "flip west" orientation
  • Dedicated guard ring for each CPU

RM42L432 dual_cpu_orient.gifFigure 6-2 Dual - CPU Orientation

6.4.4 Duplicate clock tree after GCLK

The CPU clock domain is split into two clock trees, one for each CPU, with the clock of the 2nd CPU running at the same frequency and in phase to the clock of CPU1. See Figure 6-3.

6.4.5 ARM Cortex-R4 CPU Compare Module (CCM) for Safety

This device has two ARM Cortex-R4 CPU cores, where the output signals of both CPUs are compared in the CCM-R4 unit. To avoid common mode impacts the signals of the CPUs to be compared are delayed in a different way as shown in Figure 6-3.

RM42L432 dual_core_implementation_pns160.gifFigure 6-3 Dual Core Implementation

To avoid an erroneous CCM-R4 compare error, the application software must initialize the registers of both CPUs before the registers are used, including function calls where the register values are pushed onto the stack.

6.4.6 CPU Self-Test

The CPU STC (Self-Test Controller) is used to test the two Cortex-R4 CPU Cores using the Deterministic Logic BIST Controller as the test engine.

The main features of the self-test controller are:

  • Ability to divide the complete test run into independent test intervals
  • Capable of running the complete test or running a few intervals at a time
  • Ability to continue from the last executed interval (test set) or to restart from the beginning (first test set)
  • Complete isolation of the self-tested CPU core from the rest of the system during the self-test run
  • Ability to capture the failure interval number
  • Timeout counter for the CPU self-test run as a fail-safe feature

6.4.6.1 Application Sequence for CPU Self-Test

  1. Configure clock domain frequencies.
  2. Select the number of test intervals to be run.
  3. Configure the timeout period for the self-test run.
  4. Save the CPU state if required
  5. Enable self-test.
  6. Wait for CPU reset.
  7. In the reset handler, read CPU self-test status to identify any failures.
  8. Retrieve CPU state if required.

For more information, see the RM42L42x 16/32-Bit RISC Flash Microcontroller Technical Reference Manual (SPNU516).

6.4.6.2 CPU Self-Test Clock Configuration

The maximum clock rate for the self-test is 50 MHz. The STCCLK is divided down from the CPU clock, when necessary. This divider is configured by the STCCLKDIV register at address 0xFFFFE108.

6.4.6.3 CPU Self-Test Coverage

Table 6-7 shows CPU test coverage achieved for each self-test interval. It also lists the cumulative test cycles. The test time can be calculated by multiplying the number of test cycles with the STC clock period.

6.5 Clocks

6.5.1 Clock Sources

The table below lists the available clock sources on the device. Each of the clock sources can be enabled or disabled using the CSDISx registers in the system module. The clock source number in the table corresponds to the control bit in the CSDISx register for that clock source.

The table also shows the default state of each clock source.

Table 6-8 Available Clock Sources

1 PLL1 Output From PLL1 Disabled
2 Reserved Reserved Disabled
3 EXTCLKIN1 External Clock Input #1 Disabled
4 CLK80K Low-Frequency Output of Internal Reference Oscillator Enabled
5 CLK10M High-Frequency Output of Internal Reference Oscillator Enabled
6 Reserved Reserved Disabled
7 Reserved Reserved Disabled

6.5.1.1 Main Oscillator

The oscillator is enabled by connecting the appropriate fundamental resonator/crystal and load capacitors across the external OSCIN and OSCOUT pins as shown in Figure 6-4. The oscillator is a single stage inverter held in bias by an integrated bias resistor. This resistor is disabled during leakage test measurement and low power modes.

TI strongly encourages each customer to submit samples of the device to the resonator/crystal vendors for validation. The vendors are equipped to determine what load capacitors will best tune their resonator/crystal to the microcontroller device for optimum start-up and operation over temperature/voltage extremes.

An external oscillator source can be used by connecting a 3.3 V clock signal to the OSCIN pin and leaving the OSCOUT pin unconnected (open) as shown in Figure 6-4.

6.5.1.2 Low-Power Oscillator

The Low-Power Oscillator (LPO) is comprised of two oscillators — HF LPO and LF LPO.

6.5.1.2.1 Features

The main features of the LPO are:

  • Supplies a clock at extremely low power for power-saving modes. This is connected as clock source # 4 of the Global Clock Module.
  • Supplies a high-frequency clock for nontiming-critical systems. This is connected as clock source # 5 of the Global Clock Module.
  • Provides a comparison clock for the crystal oscillator failure detection circuit.

6.5.2.2 Mapping of Clock Domains to Device Modules

Each clock domain has a dedicated functionality as shown in the figure below.

RM42L432 dev_clock_domains_f3_spns186.gifFigure 6-7 Device Clock Domains

6.5.3 Clock Test Mode

The RM4x platform architecture defines a special mode that allows various clock signals to be brought out on to the ECLK pin and N2HET[2] device outputs. This mode is called the Clock Test mode. It is very useful for debugging purposes and can be configured through the CLKTEST register in the system module.

6.6 Clock Monitoring

The LPO Clock Detect (LPOCLKDET) module consists of a clock monitor (CLKDET) and an internal low-power oscillator (LPO).

The LPO provides two different clock sources – a low frequency (LFLPO) and a high frequency (HFLPO).

The CLKDET is a supervisor circuit for an externally supplied clock signal (OSCIN). In case the OSCIN frequency falls out of a frequency window, the CLKDET flags this condition in the global status register (GLBSTAT bit 0: OSC FAIL) and switches all clock domains sourced by OSCIN to the HFLPO clock (limp mode clock).

The valid OSCIN frequency range is defined as: fHFLPO / 4 < fOSCIN < fHFLPO * 4.

6.6.1 Clock Monitor Timings

For more information on LPO and Clock detection, refer to Table 6-10.

RM42L432 LPO_Clk_Detection_pns160.gifFigure 6-8 LPO and Clock Detection, Untrimmed HFLPO

6.6.2 External Clock (ECLK) Output Functionality

The ECLK pin can be configured to output a prescaled clock signal indicative of an internal device clock. This output can be externally monitored as a safety diagnostic.

6.6.3 Dual Clock Comparator

The Dual Clock Comparator (DCC) module determines the accuracy of selectable clock sources by counting the pulses of two independent clock sources (counter 0 and counter 1). If one clock is out of spec, an error signal is generated. For example, the DCC can be configured to use CLK10M as the reference clock (for counter 0) and VCLK as the "clock under test" (for counter 1). This configuration allows the DCC to monitor the PLL output clock when VCLK is using the PLL output as its source.

6.6.3.1 Features

  • Takes two different clock sources as input to two independent counter blocks.
  • One of the clock sources is the known-good, or reference clock; the second clock source is the "clock under test."
  • Each counter block is programmable with initial, or seed values.
  • The counter blocks start counting down from their seed values at the same time; a mismatch from the expected frequency for the clock under test generates an error signal which is used to interrupt the CPU.

6.9 Flash Memory

6.9.1 Flash Memory Configuration

Flash Bank: A separate block of logic consisting of 1 to 16 sectors. Each flash bank normally has a customer-OTP and a TI-OTP area. These flash sectors share input/output buffers, data paths, sense amplifiers, and control logic.

Flash Sector: A contiguous region of flash memory which must be erased simultaneously due to physical construction constraints.

Flash Pump: A charge pump which generates all the voltages required for reading, programming, or erasing the flash banks.

Flash Module: Interface circuitry required between the host CPU and the flash banks and pump module.

6.9.2 Main Features of Flash Module

  • Support for multiple flash banks for program and/or data storage
  • Simultaneous read access on a bank while performing program or erase operation on any other bank
  • Integrated state machines to automate flash erase and program operations
  • Software interface for flash program and erase operations
  • Pipelined mode operation to improve instruction access interface bandwidth
  • Support for Single Error Correction Double Error Detection (SECDED) block inside Cortex-R4 CPU
    • Error address is captured for host system debugging
  • Support for a rich set of diagnostic features

6.9.3 ECC Protection for Flash Accesses

All accesses to the program flash memory are protected by Single Error Correction Double Error Detection (SECDED) logic embedded inside the CPU. The flash module provides 8 bits of ECC code for 64 bits of instructions or data fetched from the flash memory. The CPU calculates the expected ECC code based on the 64 bits received and compares it with the ECC code returned by the flash module. A single-bit error is corrected and flagged by the CPU, while a multibit error is only flagged. The CPU signals an ECC error through its Event bus. This signaling mechanism is not enabled by default and must be enabled by setting the "X" bit of the Performance Monitor Control Register, c9.

The application must also explicitly enable the CPU's ECC checking for accesses on the CPU's ATCM and BTCM interfaces. These are connected to the program flash and data RAM respectively. ECC checking for these interfaces can be done by setting the B1TCMPCEN, B0TCMPCEN and ATCMPCEN bits of the System Control coprocessor's Auxiliary Control Register, c1.

6.12 Tightly Coupled RAM Interface Module

Figure 6-10 illustrates the connection of the Tightly Coupled RAM (TCRAM) to the Cortex-R4 CPU.

RM42L432 tcram_fbd_144pin_spns186.gifFigure 6-10 TCRAM Block Diagram

6.12.1 Features

The features of the Tightly Coupled RAM (TCRAM) module are:

  • Acts as slave to the BTCM interface of the Cortex-R4 CPU
  • Supports CPU's internal ECC scheme by providing 64-bit data and 8-bit ECC code
  • Monitors CPU Event Bus and generates single-bit or multibit error interrupts
  • Stores addresses for single-bit and multibit errors
  • Provides CPU address bus integrity checking by supporting parity checking on the address bus
  • Performs redundant address decoding for the RAM bank chip select and ECC select generation logic
  • Provides enhanced safety for the RAM addressing by implementing two 36-bit wide byte-interleaved RAM banks and generating independent RAM access control signals to the two banks
  • Supports auto-initialization of the RAM banks along with the ECC bits
  • No support for bit-wise RAM accesses

6.12.2 TCRAMW ECC Support

The TCRAMW passes on the ECC code for each data read by the Cortex-R4 CPU from the RAM. It also stores the CPU's ECC port contents in the ECC RAM when the CPU does a write to the RAM. The TCRAMW monitors the CPU's event bus and provides registers for indicating single-bit and multibit errors and also for identifying the address that caused the single-bit or multibit error. The event signaling and the ECC checking for the RAM accesses must be enabled inside the CPU.

For more information see the device Technical Reference Manual.

6.13 Parity Protection for Accesses to peripheral RAMs

Accesses to some peripheral RAMs are protected by odd/even parity checking. During a read access the parity is calculated based on the data read from the peripheral RAM and compared with the good parity value stored in the parity RAM for that peripheral. If any word fails the parity check, the module generates a parity error signal that is mapped to the Error Signaling Module. The module also captures the peripheral RAM address that caused the parity error.

The parity protection for peripheral RAMs is not enabled by default and must be enabled by the application. Each individual peripheral contains control registers to enable the parity protection for accesses to its RAM.

NOTE

The CPU read access gets the actual data from the peripheral. The application can choose to generate an interrupt whenever a peripheral RAM parity error is detected.

6.14 On-Chip SRAM Initialization and Testing

6.14.1 On-Chip SRAM Self-Test Using PBIST

6.14.1.1 Features

  • Extensive instruction set to support various memory test algorithms
  • ROM-based algorithms allow the application to run TI production-level memory tests
  • Independent testing of all on-chip SRAM

(1) There are several memory testing algorithms stored in the PBIST ROM. However, TI recommends the March13N algorithm for application testing.

The PBIST ROM clock can be divided down from HCLK. The divider is selected by programming the ROM_DIV field of the Memory Self-Test Global Control Register (MSTGCR) at address 0xFFFFFF58.

6.14.2 On-Chip SRAM Auto Initialization

This microcontroller allows some of the on-chip memories to be initialized through the Memory Hardware Initialization mechanism in the System module. This hardware mechanism allows an application to program the memory arrays with error detection capability to a known state based on their error detection scheme (odd/even parity or ECC).

The MINITGCR register enables the memory initialization sequence, and the MSINENA register selects the memories that are to be initialized.

For more information on these registers refer to the device Technical Reference Manual.

The mapping of the different on-chip memories to the specific bits of the MSINENA registers is shown in Table 6-23.

(1) Unassigned register bits are reserved.
(2) The MibSPI1 module performs an initialization of the transmit and receive RAMs as soon as the module is brought out of reset using the SPI Global Control Register 0 (SPIGCR0). This is independent of whether the application chooses to initialize the MibSPI1 RAMs using the system module auto-initialization method.

6.15 Vectored Interrupt Manager

The vectored interrupt manager (VIM) provides hardware assistance for prioritizing and controlling the many interrupt sources present on this device. Interrupts are caused by events outside of the normal flow of program execution. Normally, these events require a timely response from the central processing unit (CPU); therefore, when an interrupt occurs, the CPU switches execution from the normal program flow to an interrupt service routine (ISR).

6.15.1 VIM Features

The VIM module has the following features:

  • Supports 96 interrupt channels.
    • Provides programmable priority and enable for interrupt request lines.
  • Provides a direct hardware dispatch mechanism for fastest IRQ dispatch.
  • Provides two software dispatch mechanisms when the CPU VIC port is not used.
    • Index interrupt
    • Register vectored interrupt
  • Parity protected vector interrupt table against soft errors.

NOTE

Address location 0x00000000 in the VIM RAM is reserved for the phantom interrupt ISR entry; therefore only request channels 0..94 can be used and are offset by 1 address in the VIM RAM.

6.16 Real-Time Interrupt Module

The real-time interrupt (RTI) module provides timer functionality for operating systems and for benchmarking code. The RTI module can incorporate several counters that define the timebases needed for scheduling an operating system.

The timers also allow you to benchmark certain areas of code by reading the values of the counters at the beginning and the end of the desired code range and calculating the difference between the values.

6.16.1 Features

The RTI module has the following features:

  • Two independent 64 bit counter blocks
  • Four configurable compares for generating operating system ticks. Each event can be driven by either counter block 0 or counter block 1.
  • Fast enabling/disabling of events
  • Two time-stamp (capture) functions for system or peripheral interrupts, one for each counter block

6.16.2 Block Diagrams

Figure 6-11 shows a high-level block diagram for one of the two 64-bit counter blocks inside the RTI module. Both the counter blocks are identical.

RM42L432 rti_counter_bd_pns186.gifFigure 6-11 Counter Block Diagram

Figure 6-12 shows a typical high-level block diagram for one of the four compares inside the RTI module. Each of the four compares are identical.

RM42L432 rti_compare_bd_spns186.gifFigure 6-12 Compare Block Diagram

6.16.3 Clock Source Options

The RTI module uses the RTICLK clock domain for generating the RTI time bases.

The application can select the clock source for the RTICLK by configuring the RCLKSRC register in the System module at address 0xFFFFFF50. The default source for RTICLK is VCLK.

For more information, on the clock sources see Table 6-8 and Table 6-12.

6.17 Error Signaling Module

The Error Signaling Module (ESM) manages the various error conditions on the RM4x microcontroller. The error condition is handled based on a fixed severity level assigned to it. Any severe error condition can be configured to drive a low level on a dedicated device terminal called nERROR. This can be used as an indicator to an external monitor circuit to put the system into a safe state.

6.17.1 Features

The features of the Error Signaling Module are:

  • 128 interrupt/error channels are supported, divided into 3 different groups
    • 64 channels with maskable interrupt and configurable error pin behavior
    • 32 error channels with nonmaskable interrupt and predefined error pin behavior
    • 32 channels with predefined error pin behavior only
  • Error pin to signal severe device failure
  • Configurable timebase for error signal
  • Error forcing capability

6.17.2 ESM Channel Assignments

The Error Signaling Module (ESM) integrates all the device error conditions and groups them in the order of severity. Group1 is used for errors of the lowest severity while Group3 is used for errors of the highest severity. The device response to each error is determined by the severity group it is connected to. Table 6-26 shows the channel assignment for each group.

Table 6-25 ESM Groups

ERROR GROUP INTERRUPT CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE ON ERROR PIN
Group1 Maskable, low or high priority Configurable
Group2 Nonmaskable, high priority Fixed
Group3 No interrupt generated Fixed

6.19 Digital Windowed Watchdog

This device includes a digital windowed watchdog (DWWD) module that protects against runaway code execution.

The DWWD module allows the application to configure the time window within which the DWWD module expects the application to service the watchdog. A watchdog violation occurs if the application services the watchdog outside of this window, or fails to service the watchdog at all. The application can choose to generate a system reset or a nonmaskable interrupt to the CPU in case of a watchdog violation.

The watchdog is disabled by default and must be enabled by the application. Once enabled, the watchdog can only be disabled upon a system reset.

6.20.6 Advanced JTAG Security Module

This device includes a an Advanced JTAG Security Module (AJSM). which provides maximum security to the memory content of the device by allowing users to secure the device after programming.

RM42L432 ajsm_unlock_pns160.gifFigure 6-15 AJSM Unlock

The device is unsecure by default by virtue of a 128-bit visible unlock code programmed in the OTP address 0xF0000000.The OTP contents are XOR-ed with the "Unlock By Scan" register contents. The outputs of these XOR gates are again combined with a set of secret internal tie-offs. The output of this combinational logic is compared against a secret hard-wired 128-bit value. A match results in the UNLOCK signal being asserted, so that the device is now unsecure.

A user can secure the device by changing at least one bit in the visible unlock code from 1 to 0. Changing a 0 to 1 is not possible because the visible unlock code is stored in the One Time Programmable (OTP) flash region. Also, changing all the 128 bits to zeros is not a valid condition and will permanently secure the device.

Once secured, a user can unsecure the device by scanning an appropriate value into the "Unlock By Scan" register of the AJSM module. The value to be scanned is such that the XOR of the OTP contents and the Unlock-By-Scan register contents results in the original visible unlock code.

The Unlock-By-Scan register is reset only upon asserting power-on reset (nPORRST).

A secure device only permits JTAG accesses to the AJSM scan chain through the Secondary Tap # 2 of the ICEPick module. All other secondary taps, test taps and the boundary scan interface are not accessible in this state.

6.20.7 Boundary Scan Chain

The device supports BSDL-compliant boundary scan for testing pin-to-pin compatibility. The boundary scan chain is connected to the Boundary Scan Interface of the ICEPICK module.

RM42L432 boundary_scan_implementation _pns160.gifFigure 6-16 Boundary Scan Implementation (Conceptual Diagram)

Data is serially shifted into all boundary-scan buffers through TDI, and out through TDO.
