hold timing. Direct Drive is supported for TFT displays which do not have their own frame buffer. In
that case TFT Direct Drive can transfer data from either on-chip memory or from an external memory
device to the TFT at low CPU load. Automatic alpha-blending and masking is also supported for transfers
through the EBI interface.
2.1.12 Universal Serial Bus Controller (USB)
The USB is a full-speed USB 2.0 compliant OTG host/device controller. The USB can be used in Device,
On-the-go (OTG) Dual Role Device or Host-only configuration. In OTG mode the USB supports both
Host Negotiation Protocol (HNP) and Session Request Protocol (SRP). The device supports both full-
speed (12MBit/s) and low speed (1.5MBit/s) operation. The USB device includes an internal dedicated
Descriptor-Based Scatter/Garther DMA and supports up to 6 OUT endpoints and 6 IN endpoints, in
addition to endpoint 0. The on-chip PHY includes all OTG features, except for the voltage booster for
supplying 5V to VBUS when operating as host.
2.1.13 Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface (I2C)
The I
2C module provides an interface between the MCU and a serial I2C-bus. It is capable of acting as
both a master and a slave, and supports multi-master buses. Both standard-mode, fast-mode and fast-
mode plus speeds are supported, allowing transmission rates all the way from 10 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s.
Slave arbitration and timeouts are also provided to allow implementation of an SMBus compliant system.
The interface provided to software by the I
2C module, allows both fine-grained control of the transmission
process and close to automatic transfers. Automatic recognition of slave addresses is provided in all
energy modes.
2.1.14 Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (US-
ART)
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (USART) is a very flexible
serial I/O module. It supports full duplex asynchronous UART communication as well as RS-485, SPI,
MicroWire and 3-wire. It can also interface with ISO7816 SmartCards, IrDA and I2S devices.
2.1.15 Pre-Programmed Serial Bootloader
The bootloader presented in application note AN0003 is pre-programmed in the device at factory. Auto-
baud and destructive write are supported. The autobaud feature, interface and commands are described
further in the application note.
2.1.16 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)
The Universal Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (UART) is a very flexible serial I/O module.
It supports full- and half-duplex asynchronous UART communication.
2.1.17 Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
(LEUART)
The unique LEUART
TM, the Low Energy UART, is a UART that allows two-way UART communication on
a strict power budget. Only a 32.768 kHz clock is needed to allow UART communication up to 9600 baud/
s. The LEUART includes all necessary hardware support to make asynchronous serial communication
possible with minimum of software intervention and energy consumption.
2.1.18 Timer/Counter (TIMER)
The 16-bit general purpose Timer has 3 compare/capture channels for input capture and compare/Pulse-
Width Modulation (PWM) output. TIMER0 also includes a Dead-Time Insertion module suitable for motor
control applications.
