Pre-Production

PP, May 2008, Rev 3.1

Details of the GPIO implementation are shown below. In order to avoid GPIO loops if a GPIO is

configured as an output the corresponding input is disabled, as shown in Figure 45 below.

Figure 45 GPIO Pad

The GPIO register, i.e. latch structure, is shown in Figure 46 below. The de-bounce Control fields

GPIOn_DEB_ENA determine whether the signal is de-bounced or not. (Note that TOCLK (via

SYSCLK) needs to be present in order for the debounce circuit to work.) The polarity bits

GPIO_POL[7:0] control whether an interrupt is triggered by a logic 1 level (for GPIO_POL[n] = 0) or a

logic 0 level (for GPIO_POL[n] = 1). The latch will cause the interrupt to be stored until it is reset by

writing to the Interrupt Register. The latched signal is processed by the IRQ circuit, shown in Figure

44 above. The interrupt status bits can be read at any time from Register R18 (see Table 55) and are

reset by writing a “1” to the applicable bit in Register R18.

Note that the interrupt behaviour is driven by level detection (not edge detection). Therefore, if an

input remains asserted after the interrupt register has been reset, then the interrupt event will be

triggered again even though no transition has occurred. If edge detection is required, this may be

implemented as described in the following paragraphs.

Figure 46 GPIO Function

Three typical scenarios are presented in the following Figure 47, Figure 48 and Figure 49. The

examples are:

•

Latch a GPIO input (Figure 47)

•

Debounce and latch a GPIO input (Figure 48)

•

Use the GPIOn_POL bit to implement an IRQ edge detect function (Figure 49)
