Four programmable interrupt priority levels with hardware priority level masking.
Software interrupt generation.
7.5.2 Interrupt sources
Each peripheral devi ce has one interrupt line con nected to the NVIC but may have several
interrupt flags. Individual interrupt flags may also represent more than one interrupt
source.
Any GPIO pin (total of up to 25 pins) regardless of the selected function, can be
programmed to generate an interrupt on a level, or rising edge or falling edge, or both.
7.6 IOCONFIG block
The IOCONFIG block allows selected pins of the microcontroller to have more than one
function. Configuration registers control the multiplexers to allow connection between the
pin and the on-chip peripherals.
Peripherals should be conn ected to the appro priate pins prior to being activated and pr ior
to any related interrup t(s) being enabled. Activity of any enabled peripheral function that is
not mapped to a related pin should be considered undefined.
7.7 Fast general purpose parallel I/O
Device pins that are not connected to a specific peripheral function are controlled by the
GPIO registers. Pins may be dynamica lly configured as input s or output s. Multiple output s
can be set or cleared in on e wr ite op e ratio n.
The EM773 uses accelerated GPIO functions:
GPIO registers are a dedicated AHB peripheral so that the fastest possible I/O timing
can be achieved .
Entire port value can be written in one instruction.
Additionally, any GPIO pin (total of up to 25 pins) providing a digital function can be
programmed to generate an interrupt on a level, a rising or falling edge, or both.
7.7.1 Features
Bit level port registers allow a single instruction to set or clear any number of bits in
one write operation.
Direction control of individual bits.
All I/O default to inputs with pull-ups enabled after reset with the exception of the
I2C-bus pins PIO0_4 and PIO0_5.
Pull-up/pull-down resistor configuration can be programm ed through the IOCONFIG
block for each GPIO pin (except for pins PIO0_4 and PIO0_5).
All GPIO pins (except PIO0_4 and PIO0_5) are pulle d up to 3.3 V (VDD = 3.3 V) if their
pull-up resistor is enabled in the IOCONFIG block.
Programmable open-drain mode.

interact with multiple masters and slaves on the bu s. Only a sing le mas te r an d a sing le
slave can communicate on the bus during a given data transfer. The SPI supports full
duplex transfers, with frames of 4 bits to 16 bits of data flowing from the master to the
slave and from the slave to the master. In practice, often only one of these data flows
carries meaningful data.
7.9.1 Features
Maximum SPI speed of 25 Mbit/s (master) or 4.17 Mbit/s (slave) (in SSP mode)
Compatible with Motorola SPI, 4-wire Texas Instruments SSI, and National
Semiconductor Microwire buses

The I2C-bus is bidirectional for inter-IC control using only two wires: a Serial Clock Line
(SCL) and a Serial DAta line (SDA). Each device is recognized by a unique address and
can operate as either a r eceiver-o nly device ( e.g., an LCD driver) or a tra nsmitter with the
capability to both receive and send information (such as memory). Transmitters and/or

7.11 Metrology engine
The EM773 contains a metrology engine d esigned to co llect voltage and current in puts to
calculate the active power, reactive power, apparent power and power factor of a load.
The purpose of the metrology engine is for non-billing applications such as plug meters,
smart appliances, industrial and consumer sub-meters, etc.
7.11.1 Features
1 % accurate for scalable input sources up to 230 V/50 Hz/16 A and
110 V/60 Hz/20 A while maintaining this accuracy with a factor of 1 to 400 down from
this maximum current.
Automatically calculates active power in W, reactive power in VAr, apparent power in
VA, power factor ratio, Vrms and Irms without ARM CPU intervention.

engine using the ARM Cortex M0.
7.12 General purpose external event counter/timers
The EM773 includes two 32-bit counter/timers and one 16-bit counter/timer. The
counter/timer is designed to count cycles of the system derived clock. It can optionally
generate interrupts or perform other actions at specified timer values, based on four
match registers. Each counter/timer also includes one capture input to tr ap the timer value
when an input signal transitions, optionally generating an interrupt.
7.12.1 Features
A 32-bit/16-bit timer/counter with a programmable 32-bit/16-bit prescaler.

7.15 Clocking and power control
7.15.1 Crystal oscillators
The EM773 includes three independent oscillators. These are the system oscillator, the
Internal RC oscillator (IRC), and the Watchdog oscillator. Each oscillator can be used for
more than one purpose as required in a particular application.
Following reset, the EM773 will operate from the Internal RC oscillator until switched by
software. This allows systems to operate without any external crystal and the bootloader
code to operate at a known frequency.
See Figure 4 for an overview of the EM773 clock generation.
7.15.1.1 Internal RC oscillator
The IRC may be used as the clock so urce for th e WDT, and/or as the clock that drives the
PLL and subsequently the CPU. The nominal IRC frequency is 12 MHz. The IRC is
trimmed to 1 % accuracy over the entire voltage and temperature range.
Upon power-up or any chip reset, the EM773 uses th e IRC as the clock source. Software
may later switch to one of the other available clock sources.

Energy metering IC
7.15.1.2 System oscillator
The system oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU, with or without using
the PLL.
The system oscillator operates at frequencies of 1 MHz to 25 MHz. This frequency can be
boosted to a higher frequency, up to the maximum CPU operating frequency, by the
system PLL.
7.15.1.3 Watchdog oscillator
The watchdog oscillator can be used as a clock source that directly drives the CPU, the
watchdog timer, or the CLKOUT pin. The watchdog oscillator nominal frequency is
programmable betwee n 7.8 kHz and 1.7 MHz. The frequency spread over p rocessing and
temperature is 40 %.
7.15.2 System PLL
The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz. The input
frequency is multiplied up to a high frequency with a Current Controlled Oscillator (CCO).
The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32. The CCO operates in the range of
156 MHz to 320 MHz, so there is an additional divider in the loop to keep the CCO within
its frequency range while the PLL is providing the desir ed output frequency. The PLL
output frequency must be lower tha n 100 MHz. The output divider may be set to divide by
2, 4, 8, or 16 to prod uce the output clock. Si nce the minimum outp ut divider value is 2 , it is
insured that the PLL output has a 50 % duty cycle. The PLL is turned off and bypassed
following a chip reset and may be enabled by software. The program must configure and
activate the PLL, wait for the PLL to lock, and then connect to th e PLL as a clock source.
The PLL settling time is 100 s.
7.15.3 Clock output
The EM773 features a clock output function that routes the IRC oscillator, the system
oscillator, the watchdog oscillator, or the main clock to an output pin.
7.15.4 Wake-up process
The EM773 begin operation at power-up and when awakened from Deep power-down
mode by using the 12 MHz IRC oscillator as the clock source. This allows chip operation
to resume quickly. If the system oscillator or the PLL is needed by the application,
software will need to enable these features and wait for them to stabilize before they are
used as a clock source.
7.15.5 Power control
The EM773 support a varie ty of powe r con trol featu res. Th ere ar e three spe cial mod es of
processor power r eduction: Sleep mode, Deep-sleep mode, and Deep power-down mode.
The CPU clock rate may also be controlled as needed by changing clock sources,
reconfiguring PLL values, and/or altering the CPU clock divider value. This allows a
trade-off of power versus processing speed based on application requirements. In
addition, a register is provided for shutting down the clocks to individual on-chip
peripherals, allowing fine tuning of power consumption by eliminating all dynamic power
use in any periph era ls th at ar e no t req uired for the a pplica tion. Selected per ipher als have
their own clock divide r wh ich pr ovides even better power control.

Energy metering IC
7.15.5.1 Power profiles
The power consumption in Active and Sleep modes can be optimized for the application
through simple calls to the power profile. The power configuration routine configures the
EM773 for one of the following power modes:
Default mode corresponding to power configuration after reset.
CPU performance mode corresponding to optimized processing capability.
Efficie ncy mode corresponding to optimi zed balance of current consumption and CPU
performance.
Low-current mode corresponding to lowest power consumption.
In addition, the power profile includes routines to select the optimal PLL settings for a
given system clock and PLL input clock.
7.15.5.2 Sleep mode
When Sleep mode is entered, the clock to the core is stoppe d. Resumption from the Sleep
mode does not need any special sequence but re-enabling the clock to the ARM core.
In Sleep mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a reset or interrupt
occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during Sleep mode and may generate
interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution. Sleep mode eliminates dynamic
power used by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and internal
buses.
7.15.5.3 Deep-sleep mode
In Deep-sleep mode, the chip is in Sleep mode, and in addition all a nalog blo cks are shut
down. As an exception, the user has the option to keep the watchdog oscillator and the
BOD circuit running for se lf-timed wake-up and BOD pr otection. Deep- sleep mod e allows
for additiona l powe r sa vin gs.
Up to 13 pins total serve as external wake-up pins to the start logic to wake up the chip
from Deep-sleep mode.
Unless the watchdog oscillator is selected to run in Deep-sleep mode, the clock source
should be switched to IRC before entering Deep-sleep mode, because the IRC can be
switched on and off glitch-free.
7.15.5.4 Deep power-down mode
In Deep power-down mode, power is shut off to the entire chip with the exception of the
WAKEUP pin. The EM773 can wake up from Deep power-down mode via the WAKEUP
pin.
A LOW-going pulse as short as 50 ns wakes up the part from Deep power- down mode.
When entering Deep power-down mode, an external pull-up resistor is required on the
WAKEUP pin to hold it HIGH. The RESET pin must also be held HIGH to prevent it from
floating while in Deep power-down mode.

7.16 System control
7.16.1 Start logic
The start logic connects external pins to corresponding interrupts in the NVIC. Each pin
shown in Table 2 as input to the start logic has an individual interrupt in the NVIC interrupt
vector table. The start logic pins can serve as external interrupt pins when the chip is
running. In addition, an input signal on the start logic pins can wake up the chip from
Deep-sleep mode when all clocks are shut down.
The start logic must be configured in the system configuration block and in the NVIC
before being used.
7.16.2 Reset
Reset has four sources on the EM773: the RESET pin, the Watchdog reset, Power-On
Reset (POR), and the BrownOut Detection (BOD) circuit. The RESET pin is a Schmitt
trigger input pin. Assertion of chip re set by a ny source, on ce the ope ratin g voltage attain s
a usable level, starts the IRC and initializes the flash controller.
A LOW-going pulse as short as 50 ns resets the part.
When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which
is initially the Reset vector mapped from the boot block. At that point, all of the processor
and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.
An external pull-up resistor is required on the RESET pin if Deep power-down mode is
used.
7.16.3 Brownout detection
The EM773 includes four levels for monitoring the voltage on the VDD pin. If this voltage
falls below one of the four selected levels, the BOD asse rts an interrupt signal to the
NVIC. This signal can be enabled fo r interrupt in the In terrupt Enable Registe r in the NVIC
in order to cause a CPU interrupt; if not, software can monito r the signal by reading a
dedicated status register. Four additional threshold levels can be selected to cause a
forced reset of the chip.
7.16.4 Code security (Code Read Protection - CRP)
This feature of the EM773 allows user to enable different levels of security in the system
so that access to the on-chip flash and use of the Serial Wire Debugger (SWD) and
In-System Programming (ISP) can be restricted. When needed, CRP is invoked by
programming a specific pattern into a dedicated flash location. IAP commands are not
affected by the CRP.
In addition, ISP entry via the PIO0_1 pin can be disabled without enabling CRP. For
details see the EM773 user manual.
There are three levels of Code Read Protection:
1. CRP1 disables access to the chip via the SWD and allows partial flash update
(excluding flash sector 0) using a limited set of the ISP commands. This mode is
useful when CRP is required and flash field updates are needed but all sectors can
not be erased.

Product data sheet Rev. 2 — 3 January 2012 19 of 51
NXP Semiconductors EM773
Energy metering IC
2. CRP2 disables access to the chip via the SWD and only allows full flash erase and
update using a reduced set of the ISP commands.
3. Running an application with level CRP3 selected fully disables any access to the ch ip
via the SWD pins and the ISP. This mode effectively disables ISP override using
PIO0_1 pin, too. It is up to the user’s application to provide (if needed) flash update
mechanism using IAP calls or call reinvoke ISP command to enable flash update via
the UART.
In addition to the three CRP levels, sampling of pin PIO0_1 for valid user code can be
disabled. For details see the EM773 user manual.
7.16.5 APB interface
The APB peripherals are located on one APB bus.
7.16.6 AHBLite
The AHBLite connects the CPU bus of the ARM Cortex-M0 to the flash memory, the main
static RAM, and the Boot ROM.
7.16.7 External interrupt inputs
All GPIO pins can be level or edge sensitive interrupt inputs. In addition, start logic inputs
serve as exte rnal interrupts (see Section 7.16.1).
7.17 Emulation and debugging
Debug functions are integrated into the ARM Cortex-M0. Serial wire debug with four
breakpoints and two watchpoint s is supported.
CAUTION
If level three Code Read Protection (CRP3) is selected, no future factory testing can be
performed on the device.

[6] The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA
output stage tf is specified at 250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected in between the
SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding the maximum specified tf.
[7] In Fast-mode Plus, fall time is specified the same for both output stage and bus timing. If series resistors
are used, designers should allow for this when considering bus timing.
[8] The maximum tHD;DAT could be 3.45 s and 0.9 s for St andard-mode and Fast-mode but must be less than
the maximum of tVD;DAT or tVD;ACK by a transition time (see UM10204). This maximum must only be met if
the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal. If the clock stretches the SCL, the
data must be valid by the set-up time before it releases the clock.
[9] tSU;DAT is the data set-up time that is measured with respect to the rising edge of SCL; applies to data in
transmission and the acknowledge.
[10] A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system but the requirement
tSU;DAT = 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the
LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must
output the next data bit to the SDA line tr(max) + tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the
Standard-mode I2C-bus specification) before the SCL line is released. Also the acknowledge timing must
meet this set-up time.

11. Application information
11.1 XTAL input
The input voltage to the on-chip oscillators is limited to 1.8 V. If the oscillator is driven by a
clock in slave mode, it is recommende d that the inpu t be coupled throug h a cap acitor with
Ci = 100 pF. To limit the input voltage to the specified range, choose an additional
capacitor to ground Cg which attenuates the inpu t volt age by a factor C i/(Ci + Cg). In slave
mode, a minimum of 200 mV (RMS) is needed.
In slave mode the input clock signal should be coup led by means of a cap acitor of 100 pF
(Figure 22), with an amplitude between 200 mV (RMS) and 1000 mV (RMS). This
corresponds to a square wave signal with a signal swing of between 280 mV and 1.4 V.
The XTALOUT pin in this configuration can be left unconnected.
External components and models used in oscillation mode are shown in Figure 23 and in
Table 15 and Table 16. Since the feedback resistance is integrated on chip, only a crystal
and the capacitances CX1 and CX2 need to be connected externally in case of
fundamental mode oscillation (the fundamental frequency is represented by L, CL and
RS). Capacitance CP in Figure 23 represen ts the p arallel p ackage cap acitance and sho uld
not be larger than 7 pF. Parameters FOSC, CL, RS and CP are supplied by th e crystal
manufacturer (see Table 15).

11.2 XTAL Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout guidelines
The crystal should be connected on the PCB as close as possible to the oscillator input
and output pins of the chip. Take care that the load capacitors CX1, CX2, and CX3 in case
of third overtone crystal usage have a common ground plane. The external components
must also be connected to the ground plain. Loop s must be made as small as possible in
