9.3 Power Management Controller

The Power Management Controller uses the Clock Generator outputs to provide:

• the Processor Clock PCK

• the Master Clock MCK

• the USB Clock UDPCK

• all the peripheral clocks, independently controllable

• four programmable clock outputs

The Master Clock (MCK) is programmable from a few hundred Hz to the maximum operating fre-

quency of the device.

The Processor Clock (PCK) switches off when entering processor idle mode, thus allowing

reduced power consumption while waiting for an interrupt.

9.4 Advanced Interrupt Controller

• Controls the interrupt lines (nIRQ and nFIQ) of an ARM Processor

• Individually maskable and vectored interrupt sources

– Source 0 is reserved for the Fast Interrupt Input (FIQ)

– Source 1 is reserved for system peripherals (RTT, PIT, EFC, PMC, DBGU, etc.)

– Other sources control the peripheral interrupts or external interrupts

– Programmable edge-triggered or level-sensitive internal sources

– Programmable positive/negative edge-triggered or high/low level-sensitive external

sources

• 8-level Priority Controller

– Drives the normal interrupt nIRQ of the processor

– Handles priority of the interrupt sources
