GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuCM322 is a fully integrated, single package device that
incorporates high performance analog peripherals together
with digital peripherals controlled by an 80 MHz ARM®
Cortex™-M3 processor and integral flash for code and data.
The ADC on the ADuCM322 provides 12-bit, 1 MSPS data
acquisition on up to 16 input balls. Additionally, chip temperature
and supply voltages can be measured.
The ADC input voltage range is 0 V to VREF. A sequencer is
provided, which allows a user to select a set of ADC channels to
measure in sequence without software involvement during the
sequence. The sequence can optionally repeat automatically at a
user selectable rate. Up to eight VDACs are provided with
output ranges that are programmable to one of two voltage
ranges.
The ADuCM322 can be configured so that the digital and analog
outputs retain their output voltages through a watchdog or software
reset sequence. Thus, a product can remain functional even
while the ADuCM322 is resetting itself.
The ADuCM322 has a low power ARM Cortex-M3 processor and
a 32-bit RISC machine that offers up to 100 MIPS peak perfor-
mance. Also integrated on-chip are 2 × 128 kB Flash/EE memory
blocks and 32 kB of SRAM. The flash comprises two separate
128 kB blocks supporting execution from one flash block and
simultaneous writing/erasing of the other flash block.
The ADuCM322 operates from an on-chip oscillator or a 16 MHz
external crystal and a PLL at 80 MHz. This clock can optionally
be divided down to reduce current consumption. Additional low
power modes can be set via software. In normal operating mode,
the ADuCM322 digital core consumes about 300 µA per MHz.
The device includes an MDIO interface capable of operating at
up to 4 MHz. The capability to simultaneously execute from
one flash block and write/erase the other flash block makes the
ADuCM322 ideal for 10G, 40G, and 100G optical applications.
In addition, the nonerasable kernel code plus flags in user flash
provide assistance by allowing user code to robustly switch
between the two blocks of user flash code and data spaces.
The ADuCM322 integrates a range of on-chip peripherals that
can be configured under software control, as required in the
application. These peripherals include 1 × UA RT, 2 × I
2
C, and 2 ×
SPI serial input/output communication controllers, GPIO,
32-element PLA, three general-purpose timers, plus a wake-up
timer and system watchdog timer. A
16-bit PWM with seven output channels is also provided.
GPIO balls on the device power up in high impedance input
mode. In output mode, the software chooses between open-
drain mode and push-pull mode. The pull-up resistors can be
disabled and enabled in software. In GPIO output mode, the
inputs can remain enabled to monitor the balls. The GPIO balls
can also be programmed to handle digital or analog peripheral
signals; in such cases, the ball characteristics are matched to the
specific requirement.
A large support ecosystem is available for the ARM Cortex-M3
processor to ease product development of the ADuCM322
. Access
is via the ARM serial wire debug port (SW-DP). On-chip factory
firmware supports in-circuit serial download via MDIO. These
features are incorporated into a QuickStart™ development system,
supporting this precision analog microcontroller family.
