xCORE Multicore Microcontrollers


The XS1-U Series is a comprehensive range of 32-bit multicore microcontrollers
that brings the low latency and timing determinism of the xCORE architecture to
mainstream embedded applications. Unlike conventional microcontrollers, xCORE
multicore microcontrollers execute multiple real-time tasks simultaneously. Devices consist of one or more xCORE tiles, each containing between four and eight
independent xCORE logical processors. Each logical core can execute computational code, advanced DSP code, control software (including logic decisions and
executing a state machine) or software that handles I/O.
Because xCORE multicore microcontrollers are completely deterministic, you can
write software to implement functions that traditionally require dedicated hardware.
You can simulate your program like hardware, and perform static timing analysis
using the xTIMEcomposer development tools.

The devices include scheduling hardware that performs functions similar to those
of an RTOS; and hardware that connects the cores directly to I/O ports, ensuring not
only fast processing but extremely low latency. The use of interrupts is eliminated,
ensuring deterministic operation.

XS1-U devices are available in a range of resource densities, package, performance


and temperature grades depending on your needs. XS1-U devices have up to
eight logical cores on a single xCORE tile, providing 500-700 MIPS, 28 GPIO, and
64Kbytes of SRAM.

1.1

xSOFTip

xCORE devices are backed with tested and proven IP blocks from the xSOFTip
library, which allow you to quickly add interface and processor functionality such
as Ethernet, PWM, graphics driver, and audio EQ to your xCORE device.
xSOFTip blocks are written in high level languages and use xCORE resources
to implement given function. This means xSOFTip is software and brings the
associated benefits of easy maintenance and fast compilation time, while being
accessible to anyone with embedded C skills.
The graphical xSOFTip Explorer tool lets you browse available xSOFTip blocks
from our library, understand the resource usage, configure the blocks to your
specification, and estimates the right device for your design. It is included in xTIMEcomposer Studio or available as a standalone tool from xmos.com/downloads.

1.2

xTIMEcomposer Studio

Designing with XS1-U devices is simple thanks to the xTIMEcomposer Studio


development environment, which includes a highly efficient compiler, debugger
and device programming tools. Because xCORE devices operate deterministically,
they can be simulated like hardware within the development tools: uniquely in
the embedded world, xTIMEcomposer Studio therefore includes a static timing
analyzer, cycle-accurate simulator, and high-speed in-circuit instrumentation.
xTIMEcomposer can also be used to load the executable file onto the device and
debug it over JTAG, programmed it into flash memory on the board, or write it to
OTP memory on the device. The tools can also encrypt the flash image and write
the decrpytion key securely to OTP memory.
xTIMEcomposer can be driven from either a graphical development environment that will be familiar to any C programmer, or the command line. They
are supported on Windows, Linux and MacOS X and available at no cost from
xmos.com/downloads.
Information on using the tools is provided in a separate user guide, X3766.

The XS1-U8A-64-FB96 comprises a digital and an analog node, as shown in Figure 3.


The digital node comprises an xCORE Tile, a Switch, and a PLL (Phase-locked-loop).
The analog node comprises the USB PHY, a multi-channel ADC (Analog to Digital
Converter), deep sleep memory, an oscillator, a real-time counter, and power
supply control.

DC-DC PMIC

All communication between the digital and analog node takes place over a link that
is connected to the Switch of the digital node. As such, the analog node can be
controlled from any node on the system. The analog functions can be configured
using a set of node configuration registers, and a set of registers for each of the
peripherals.
The device can be programmed using high-level languages such as C/C++ and the
XMOS-originated XC language, which provides extensions to C that simplify the
control over concurrency, I/O and timing, or low-level assembler.

6.1

XCore Tile

The xCORE Tile is a flexible multicore microcontroller component with tightly


integrated I/O and on-chip memory. The tile contains multiple logical cores that
run simultaneously, each of which is guaranteed a slice of processing power and
can execute computational code, control software and I/O interfaces. The logical
cores use channels to exchange data within a tile or across tiles. Multiple devices
can be deployed and connected using an integrated switching network, enabling
more resources to be added to a design. The I/O pins are driven using intelligent
ports that can serialize data, interpret strobe signals and wait for scheduled times
or events, making the device ideal for real-time control applications.

6.2

USB PHY

The USB PHY is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 specification. It supports high
speed (480-Mbps) and full speed (12Mbps) operation.

X6319,

XS1-U8A-64-FB96 Datasheet

11

The XMOS XUD software component performs all the low-level I/O operations required to meet the USB 2.0 specification, removing all low-level timing requirements
from the application.

6.3

ADC and Power Management

Each XS1-U8A-64-FB96 device includes a set of analog components, including a


12b, 4-channel ADC, power management unit, watchdog timer, real-time counter
and deep sleep memory. The device reduces the number of additional external
components required and allows designs to be implemented using simple 2-layer
boards.

xCORE Tile Resources


7.1

Logical cores, Synchronizers and Locks

The tile has up to 8 active logical cores, which issue instructions down a shared
four-stage pipeline. Instructions from the active cores are issued round-robin. If
up to 4 logical cores are active, each core is allocated a quarter of the processing
cycles. If more than four logical cores are active, each core is allocated at least 1/n
cycles (for n cores). Figure 4 shows the guaranteed core performance depending
on the number of cores used.

There is no way that the performance of a logical core can be reduced below these
predicted levels. Because cores may be delayed on I/O, however, their unused
processing cycles can be taken by other cores. This means that for more than
four logical cores, the performance of each core is often higher than the predicted
minimum.
Synchronizers are provided for fast synchronization in a group of logical cores. In
a single instruction a logical core can block until all other logical cores in a group
have reached the synchronizer. Locks are provided for fast mutual exclusion. A
logical core can acquire or release a lock in a single instruction.

7.2

Channel Ends, Links and Switch

Logical cores communicate using point-to-point connections formed between


two channel ends. Between tiles, channel communications are implemented over
xConnect Links and routed through switches. The links operate in either 2 wires per
direction or 5 wires per direction mode, depending on the amount of bandwidth
required. Circuit switched, streaming and packet switched data can both be
supported efficiently. Streams provide the fastest possible data rates between tiles
(up to 313 MBit/s), but each stream requires a single link to be reserved between

X6319,

XS1-U8A-64-FB96 Datasheet

12

switches on two tiles. All packet communications can be multiplexed onto a single
link.
Information on the supported routing topologies that can be used to connect
multiple devices together can be found in the XS1-L Link Performance and Design
Guide, X2999.

7.3

Ports and Clock Blocks

Ports provide an interface between the logical cores and I/O pins. The XS1-U8A64-FB96 includes a combination of 1bit, 4bit and 8bit ports. In addition the wider
ports are partially or fully bonded out making the connected pins available for I/O
or xCONNECT links. All pins of a port provide either output or input. Signals in
different directions cannot be mapped onto the same port.
The operation of each port can be synchronized to a clock block. A clock block
can be connected to an external clock input, or it can be run from the divided
reference clock. A clock block can also output its signal to a pin. On reset, each
port is connected to clock block 0, which runs from the processor reference clock.
The ports and links are multiplexed, allowing the pins to be configured for use by
ports of different widths or links. If an xConnect Link is enabled, the pins of the
underlying ports are disabled. If a port is enabled, it overrules ports with higher
widths that share the same pins. The pins on the wider port that are not shared
remain available for use when the narrower port is enabled. Ports always operate
at their specified width, even if they share pins with another port.

7.4

Processor Timers

Processor timers are 32-bit counters that are relative to the processor reference
clock. A processor timer is defined to tick every 10 ns. This value is derived from
the reference clock, which is configured to tick at 100 MHz by default.

Oscillator
The oscillator block provides:

An oscillator circuit. Together with an external resonator (crystal or ceramic),


the oscillator circuit can provide a clock-source for both the real-time counter
and the xCORE Tile. The external resonator can be chosen by the designer to
have the appropriate frequency and accuracy. If desired, an external oscillator
can be used on the XI/CLK input pin.
A 20 MHz silicon oscillator. This enables the device to boot and execute code
without requiring an external crystal. The silicon oscillator is not as accurate as
an external crystal.
A 31,250 Hz oscillator. This enables the real-time counter to operate whilst the
device is in low-power mode. This oscillator is not as accurate as an external
crystal.

X6319,

XS1-U8A-64-FB96 Datasheet

13

The oscillator can be controlled through package pins, a set of peripheral registers,
and a digital node control register.
A package pin OSC_EXT_N is used to select the oscillator to use on boot. It must
be grounded to select an external resonator or connected to VDDIO to select the
on-chip 20 MHz oscillator. If an external resonator is used, then it must be in the
range 5-100 MHz. If the USB PHY is used, then an external crystal (12 or 24 MHz)
or an external oscillator (12, 24, 48, or 96 MHz) is required in order to provide a
stable USB clock. Two more package pins, MODE0 and MODE1 are used to inform
the node of the frequency.
The analog node runs at the frequency provided by the oscillator. Hence, increasing
the clock frequency will speed up operation of the analog node, and will speed up
communicating data with the digital node. The digital node has a PLL.
The PLL creates a high-speed clock that is used for the switch, tile, and reference
clock. The PLL multiplication value is selected through the two MODE pins, and
can be changed by software to speed up the tile or use less power. The MODE pins
are set as shown in Figure 5:

by writing to the digital node PLL configuration register.
The MODE pins must be held at a static value until the third rising edge of the
system clock following the deassertion of the system reset.
For 500 MHz parts, once booted, the PLL must be reprogrammed to provide this
tile frequency. The XMOS tools perform this operation by default.
Further details on configuring the clock can be found in the XS1-L Clock Frequency
Control document, X1433.

Boot Procedure
The device is kept in reset by driving RST_N low. When in reset, all GPIO pins
are high impedance. When the device is taken out of reset by releasing RST_N

X6319,

the processor starts its internal reset process. After approximately 750,000 input
clocks, all GPIO pins have their internal pull-resistor enabled, and the processor
boots at a clock speed that depends on MODE0 and MODE1.
The processor boot procedure is illustrated in Figure 6. In normal usage, MODE[3:2]
controls the boot source according to the table in Figure 7. If bit 5 of the security
register (see 10.1) is set, the device boots from OTP.

The program size and CRC are stored least significant byte first. The program
is loaded into the lowest memory address of RAM, and the program is started
from that address. The CRC is calculated over the byte stream represented by the
program size and the program itself. The polynomial used is 0xEDB88320 (IEEE
802.3); the CRC register is initialized with 0xFFFFFFFF and the residue is inverted
to produce the CRC.

Boot from SPI

If set to boot from SPI, the processor enables the four pins specified in Figure 8,
and drives the SPI clock at 2.5 MHz (assuming a 400 MHz core clock). A READ
command is issued with a 24-bit address 0x000000. The clock polarity and phase
are 0 / 0.

The xCORE Tile expects each byte to be transferred with the least-significant bit
first. Programmers who write bytes into an SPI interface using the most significant
bit first may have to reverse the bits in each byte of the image stored in the SPI
device.
If a large boot image is to be read in, it is faster to first load a small boot-loader
that reads the large image using a faster SPI clock, for example 50 MHz or as fast
as the flash device supports.
The pins used for SPI boot are hardcoded in the boot ROM and cannot be changed.
If required, an SPI boot program can be burned into OTP that uses different pins.

9.2

Boot from xConnect Link

If set to boot from an xConnect Link, the processor enables Link B around 200
ns after the boot process starts. Enabling the Link switches off the pull-down on
resistors X0D16..X0D19, drives X0D16 and X0D17 low (the initial state for the
Link), and monitors pins X0D18 and X0D19 for boot-traffic. X0D18 and X0D19
must be low at this stage. If the internal pull-down is too weak to drain any residual
charge, external pull-downs of 10K may be required on those pins.
The boot-rom on the core will then:
1. Allocate channel-end 0.
2. Input a word on channel-end 0. It will use this word as a channel to acknowledge
the boot. Provide the null-channel-end 0x0000FF02 if no acknowledgment is
required.
3. Input the boot image specified above, including the CRC.
4. Input an END control token.
5. Output an END control token to the channel-end received in step 2.
6. Free channel-end 0.
7. Jump to the loaded code.

Boot from OTP

If an xCORE tile is set to use secure boot (see Figure 6), the boot image is read
from address 0 of the OTP memory in the tiles security module.
This feature can be used to implement a secure bootloader which loads an encrypted image from external flash, decrypts and CRC checks it with the processor,
and discontinues the boot process if the decryption or CRC check fails. XMOS
provides a default secure bootloader that can be written to the OTP along with
secret decryption keys.
Each tile has its own individual OTP memory, and hence some tiles can be booted
from OTP while others are booted from SPI or the channel interface. This enables
systems to be partially programmed, dedicating one or more tiles to perform a
particular function, leaving the other tiles user-programmable.

9.4

Security register

The security register enables security features on the xCORE tile. The features
shown in Figure 9 provide a strong level of protection and are sufficient for
providing strong IP security.

Memory
10.1

OTP

The xCORE Tile integrates 8 KB one-time programmable (OTP) memory along with
a security register that configures system wide security features. The OTP holds
data in four sectors each containing 512 rows of 32 bits which can be used to
implement secure bootloaders and store encryption keys. Data for the security
register is loaded from the OTP on power up. All additional data in OTP is copied
from the OTP to SRAM and executed first on the processor.
The OTP memory is programmed using three special I/O ports: the OTP address
port is a 16-bit port with resource ID 0x100200, the OTP data is written via a 32-bit
port with resource ID 0x200100, and the OTP control is on a 16-bit port with ID
0x100300. Programming is performed through libotp and xburn.

10.2

SRAM

The xCORE Tile integrates a single 64 KB SRAM bank for both instructions and
data. All internal memory is 32 bits wide, and instructions are either 16-bit or
32-bit. Byte (8-bit), half-word (16-bit) or word (32-bit) accesses are supported and
are executed within one tile clock cycle. There is no dedicated external memory
interface, although data memory can be expanded through appropriate use of the
ports.

10.3

Deep Sleep Memory

The XS1-U8A-64-FB96 device includes 128 bytes of deep sleep memory for state
storage during sleep mode. Data stored in the memory is lost if the device is
powered down.

11

USB PHY
The USB PHY provides High-Speed and Full-Speed, device, host, and on-the-go functionality. The PHY is configured through a set of peripheral registers (Appendix F),
and data is communicated through ports on the digital node. A library, libxud_s.a,
is provided to implement USB device functionality.
For device mode, USB_ID does not need to be connected; USB_DN and USB_DP must
be wired up to the USB-connector as a matched differential pair. The USB_VBUS pin
must be connected to the USB-connector. If the system is not bus-powered, a 2.2
uF capacitor to ground should be included on the VBUS pin of the USB-connector.

11.1

Logical Core Requirements

The XMOS XUD software component runs in a single logical core with endpoint and
application cores communicating with it via a combination of channel communication and shared memory variables.

X6319,

XS1-U8A-64-FB96 Datasheet

18

Each IN (host requests data from device) or OUT (data transferred from host to
device) endpoint requires one logical core.
To guarantee correct operation the USB logical core must run at at least 80 MIPS,
and the logical cores that communicate with the USB core must also run at 80
MIPS. This means that no more than six logical cores execute at any one time on a
500MHz device.

12

Analog-to-Digital Converter
The device has a 12-bit 1MSample/second Successive Approximation Register (SAR)
Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC). It has 4 input pins which are multiplexed
into the ADC. The sampling of the ADC is controlled using GPIO pin X0D24 that
is triggered either by writing to port 1I, or by driving the pin externally. On each
rising edge of the sample pin the ADC samples, holds and converts the data value
from one of the analog input pins. Each of the 4 inputs can be enabled individually.
Each of the enabled analog inputs is sampled in turn, on successive rising edges of
the sample pin. The data is transmitted to the channel-end that the user configures
during initialization of the ADC. Data is transmitted over the channel in individual
packets, or in packets that contain multiple consecutive samples. The ADC uses an
external reference voltage, nominally 3V3, which represents the full range of the
ADC. The ADC configuration registers are documented in Appendix G.
The minimum latency for reading a value from the ADC into the xCORE register is
shown in Figure 10:

Supervisor Logic
An independent supervisor circuit provides power-on-reset, brown-out, and watchdog capabilities. This facilitates the design of systems that fail gracefully, whilst
keeping BOM costs down.
The reset supervisor holds the chip in reset until all power supplies are good. This
provides a power-on-reset (POR). An external reset is optional and the pin RST_N
can be left not-connected.
If at any time any of the power supplies drop because of too little supply or too
high a demand, the power supervisor will bring the chip into reset until the power
supplies have been restored. This will reboot the system as if a cold-start has
happened.

X6319,

XS1-U8A-64-FB96 Datasheet

19

The 16-bit watchdog timer provides 1ms accuracy and runs independently of the
real-time counter. It can be programmed with a time-out of between 1 ms and 65
seconds (Appendix E). If the watchdog is not set before it times out, the XS1-U8A64-FB96 is reset. On boot, the program can read a register to test whether the
reset was due to the watchdog. The watchdog timer is only enabled and clocked
whilst the processor is in the AWAKE power state.

14

Energy management
XS1-U8A-64-FB96 devices can be powered by:

An external 5v core and 3.3v I/O supply, increasing efficiency for USB bus
powered applications.
A single 3.3v supply.

14.1

DC-DC

XS1-U8A-64-FB96 devices include two DC-DC buck converters which can be configured to take input voltages between 3.3-5V power supply and output circuit
voltages (nominally 1.8V and 1.0V) required by the analog peripherals and digital
node.

14.2

Power mode controller

The device transitions through multiple states during the power-up and powerdown
process.
The device is quiescent in the ASLEEP state, and is running in the AWAKE state. The
other states allow a controlled transition between AWAKE and ASLEEP.
A transition from AWAKE state to ASLEEP state is instigated by a sleep request:
either a write to the general control register or from the USB block requesting entry
to standby mode. Sleep requests must only be made in the AWAKE state.
A transition from the ASLEEP state into the AWAKE state is instigated by a wakeup
request triggered by a request from the USB block to exit standby mode an input,
or a timer. The device only responds to a wakeup stimulus in the ASLEEP state. If
wakeup stimulus occurs whilst transitioning from AWAKE to ASLEEP, the appropriate
response occurs when the ASLEEP state is reached.
Configuration is through a set of registers documented in Appendix K.

14.3

Deep Sleep Modes and Real-Time Counter

The normal mode in which the XS1-U8A-64-FB96 operates is the AWAKE mode. In
this mode, all cores, memory, and peripherals operate as normal. To save power,
the XS1-U8A-64-FB96 can be put into a deep sleep mode, called ASLEEP, where
the digital node is powered down, and most peripherals are powered down. The
XS1-U8A-64-FB96 will stay in the ASLEEP mode until one of three conditions:

1. An external pin is asserted or deasserted (set by the program);


2. The 64-bit real-time counter reaches a value set by the program; or
3. The USB host (if USB is enabled) performs a wakeup.
When the chip is awake, the real-time counter counts the number of clock ticks
on the oscillator. As such, the real-time counter will run at a fixed ratio, but
synchronously with the 100 MHz timers on the xCORE Tile. When asleep, the
real-time counter can be automatically switched to the 31,250 Hz silicon oscillator
to save power (see Appendix I). To ensure that the real-time counter increases
linearly over time, a programmable value is added to the counter on every 31,250
Hz clock-tick. This means that the clock will run at a granularity of 31,250 Hz
but still maintain real-time in terms of the frequency of the main oscillator. If an
accurate clock is required, even whilst asleep, then an external crystal or oscillator
shall be provided that is used in both AWAKE and ASLEEP state.
The designer has to make a trade-off between accuracy of clocks when asleep
and awake, costs, and deep-sleep power consumption. Four example designs are
shown in Figure 12.

Requirements during sleep mode

Whilst in sleep mode, the device must still be powered as normal over 3V3 or 5V0
on VSUP, and 3V3 on VDDIO; however it will draw less power on both VSUP and
VDDIO.
For best results (lowest power):

The XTAL bias and XTAL oscillators should be switched off.


The sleep register should be configured to
Disable all power supplies except DCDC2.
Set all power supplies to PFM mode
Mask the clock
Assert reset
All GPIO and JTAG pins should be quiescent, and none should be driven against
a pull-up or pull-down.
3V3 should be supplied as the input voltage to VSUP.
This will result in a power consumption of less than 100 uA on both VSUP and
VDDIO.
If any power supply loses power-good status during the asleep-to-awake or awaketo-asleep transitions, a system reset is issued.

15

JTAG
The JTAG module can be used for loading programs, boundary scan testing, incircuit source-level debugging and programming the OTP memory.
The JTAG chain structure is illustrated in Figure 13. Directly after reset, three
TAP controllers are present in the JTAG chain: the debug TAP, the boundary scan
TAP and the processor TAP. The debug TAP provides access into the peripherals
including the ADC and USB. The boundary scan TAP is a standard 1149.1 compliant

TAP that can be used for boundary scan of the I/O pins. The processor TAP provides
access into the xCORE Tile, switch and OTP for loading code and debugging.
The JTAG module can be reset by holding TMS high for five clock cycles.
The DEBUG_N pin is used to synchronize the debugging of multiple processors.
This pin can operate in both output and input mode. In output mode and when
configured to do so, DEBUG_N is driven low by the device when the processor hits
a debug break point. Prior to this point the pin will be tri-stated. In input mode and
when configured to do so, driving this pin low will put the processor into debug
mode. Software can set the behavior of the processor based on this pin. This pin
should have an external pull up of 4K7-47K or left not connected in single core
applications.
The JTAG device identification register can be read by using the IDCODE instruction.
Its contents are specified in Figure 14.

Board Integration
XS1-U8A-64-FB96 devices are optimized for layout on low cost, 2 layer PCBs
using standard design rules. Careful layout is required to maximize the device

performance. XMOS therefore recommends that the guidelines in this section are
followed when laying out boards using the device.
The XS1-U8A-64-FB96 includes two DC-DC buck converters that take input voltages
between 3.3-5V and output the 1.8V and 1.0V circuits required by the digital core
and analogue peripherals. The DC-DC converters should have a 4.7uF X5R or X7R
ceramic capacitor and a 100nF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor on the VSUP input
pins M1 and M2. These capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the
those pins (within a maximum of 5mm), with the routing optimized to minimize
the inductance and resistance of the traces.
The SW output pin must have an LC filter on the output with a 4.7uH inductor and
22uF X5R capacitor. The capacitor must have maximum ESR value of 0.015R, and
the inductor should have a maximum DCR value of 0.07R, to meet the efficiency
specifications of the DC-DC converter, although this requirement may be relaxed if
a drop in efficiency is acceptable. A list of suggested inductors is in Figure 16.

The traces from the SW output pins to the inductor and from the output capacitor
back to the VDD pins must be routed to minimize the coupling between them.
The power supplies must be brought up monotonically and input voltages must
not exceed specification at any time.
The VDDIO supply to the XS1-U8A-64-FB96 requires a 100nF X5R or X7R ceramic
decoupling capacitor placed as close as possible to the supply pins.
If the ADC Is used, it requires a 100nF X5R or X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor
placed as close as possible to the AVDD pin. Care should be taken to minimize
noise on these inputs, and if necessary an extra 10uF decoupling capacitor and
ferrite bead can be used to remove noise from this supply.
The crystal oscillator requires careful routing of the XI / XO nodes as these are
high impedance and very noise sensitive. Hence, the traces should be as wide and
short as possible, and routed over a continuous ground plane. They should not
be routed near noisy supply lines or clocks. The device has a load capacitance of
18pF for the crystal. Care must be taken, so that the inductance and resistance of
the ground returns from the capacitors to the ground of the device is minimized.

Land patterns and solder stencils

The land pattern recommendations in this document are based on a RoHS compliant
process and derived, where possible, from the nominal Generic Requirements for
Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standards IPC-7351B specifications. This
standard aims to achieve desired targets of heel, toe and side fillets for solderjoints.
Solder paste and ground via recommendations are based on our engineering and
development kit board production. They have been found to work and optimized
as appropriate to achieve a high yield. These factors should be taken into account
during design and manufacturing of the PCB.
The following land patterns and solder paste contains recommendations. Final land
pattern and solder paste decisions are the responsibility of the customer. These
should be tuned during manufacture to suit the manufacturing process.
The package is a 96 pin Ball Grid Array package on a 0.8mm pitch with 0.4mm
balls.
An example land pattern is shown in Figure 17.

Pad widths and spacings are such that solder mask can still be applied between the
pads using standard design rules. This is highly recommended to reduce solder
shorts.

Ground and Thermal Vias

Vias next to each ground ball into the ground plane of the PCB are recommended
for a low inductance ground connection and good thermal performance. Vias with
with a 0.6mm diameter annular ring and a 0.3mm drill would be suitable.

16.3

Moisture Sensitivity

XMOS devices are, like all semiconductor devices, susceptible to moisture absorption. When removed from the sealed packaging, the devices slowly absorb moisture
from the surrounding environment. If the level of moisture present in the device
is too high during reflow, damage can occur due to the increased internal vapour
pressure of moisture. Example damage can include bond wire damage, die lifting,
internal or external package cracks and/or delamination.
All XMOS devices are Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3 - devices have a shelf life
of 168 hours between removal from the packaging and reflow, provided they
are stored below 30C and 60% RH. If devices have exceeded these values or an
included moisture indicator card shows excessive levels of moisture, then the parts
should be baked as appropriate before use. This is based on information from Joint
IPC/JEDEC Standard For Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification For Nonhermetic
Solid State Surface-Mount Devices J-STD-020 Revision D.

Example XS1-U8A-64-FB96 Board Designs


This section shows example schematics and layout for a 2-layer PCB.

Figures 18 shows example schematics and layout. It uses a 24 MHz crystal


for the clock, and an SPI flash for booting. The XS1-U8A-64-FB96 is powered
directly from 5V. An optional ESD protection device is included to increase ESD
protection from 2 to 15 kV.
Figures 19 shows example schematics and layout for a design that uses an
oscillator rather than a crystal. If required a 3V3 oscillator can be used (for
example when sharing an oscillator with other parts of the design), but a resistor
bridge must be included to reduce the XI/CLK input from 3V3 to 1V8.
Figure 20 shows example schematics and layout for a design that does not use
USB and that runs off the internal 20 MHz oscillator. The XS1-U8A-64-FB96 is
powered directly from 3V3.
Flash, AVDD, RST, and JTAG connectivity are all optional. Flash can be removed if
the processor boots from OTP. The AVDD decoupler and wiring can be removed if
the ADC is not used. RST_N and all JTAG wiring can be removed if debugging is
not required (see Appendix M)

The input valid window parameter relates to the capability of the device to capture
data input to the chip with respect to an external clock source. It is calculated as the
sum of the input setup time and input hold time with respect to the external clock
as measured at the pins. The output invalid window specifies the time for which
an output is invalid with respect to the external clock. Note that these parameters
are specified as a window rather than absolute numbers since the device provides
functionality to delay the incoming clock with respect to the incoming data.
Information on interfacing to high-speed synchronous interfaces can be found in
the XS1 Port I/O Timing document, X5821.

Accessing a processor status register

The processor status registers are accessed directly from the processor instruction
set. The instructions GETPS and SETPS read and write a word. The register number
should be translated into a processor-status resource identifier by shifting the
register number left 8 places, and ORing it with 0x0C. Alternatively, the functions
getps(reg) and setps(reg,value) can be used from XC.

A.2

Accessing an xCORE Tile configuration register

xCORE Tile configuration registers can be accessed through the interconnect using
the functions write_tile_config_reg(tileref, ...) and read_tile_config_reg(tile
> ref, ...), where tileref is the name of the xCORE Tile, e.g. tile[1]. These
functions implement the protocols described below.
Instead of using the functions above, a channel-end can be allocated to communicate with the xCORE tile configuration registers. The destination of the channel-end
should be set to 0xnnnnC20C where nnnnnn is the tile-identifier.
A write message comprises the following:
control-token

24-bit response

16-bit

32-bit

control-token

192

channel-end identifier

register number

data

The response to a write message comprises either control tokens 3 and 1 (for
success), or control tokens 4 and 1 (for failure).
A read message comprises the following:

X6319,

control-token

24-bit response

16-bit

control-token

193

channel-end identifier

register number

XS1-U8A-64-FB96 Datasheet

38

The response to the read message comprises either control token 3, 32-bit of data,
and control-token 1 (for success), or control tokens 4 and 1 (for failure).

A.3

Accessing digital and analogue node configuration registers

Node configuration registers can be accessed through the interconnect using


the functions write_node_config_reg(device, ...) and read_node_config_reg(device,
> ...), where device is the name of the node. These functions implement the
protocols described below.
Instead of using the functions above, a channel-end can be allocated to communicate with the node configuration registers. The destination of the channel-end
should be set to 0xnnnnC30C where nnnn is the node-identifier.
A write message comprises the following:
control-token

24-bit response

16-bit

32-bit

control-token

192

channel-end identifier

register number

data

The response to a write message comprises either control tokens 3 and 1 (for
success), or control tokens 4 and 1 (for failure).
A read message comprises the following:
control-token

24-bit response

16-bit

control-token

193

channel-end identifier

register number

The response to a read message comprises either control token 3, 32-bit of data,
and control-token 1 (for success), or control tokens 4 and 1 (for failure).

A.4

Accessing a register of an analogue peripheral

Peripheral registers can be accessed through the interconnect using the functions
write_periph_32(device, peripheral, ...), read_periph_32(device, peripheral, ...)
> , write_periph_8(device, peripheral, ...), and read_periph_8(device, peripheral
> , ...); where device is the name of the analogue device, and peripheral is the

number of the peripheral. These functions implement the protocols described


below.
A channel-end should be allocated to communicate with the configuration registers.
The destination of the channel-end should be set to 0xnnnnpp02 where nnnn is the
node-identifier and pp is the peripheral identifier.
A write message comprises the following:
control-token

24-bit response

8-bit

Processor Status Configuration


The processor status control registers can be accessed directly by the processor
using processor status reads and writes (use getps(reg) and setps(reg,value) for
reads and writes).

Ring Oscillator Control: 0x06

There are four free-running oscillators that clock four counters. The oscillators
can be started and stopped using this register. The counters should only be read
when the ring oscillator is stopped. The counter values can be read using four
subsequent registers. The ring oscillators are asynchronous to the xCORE tile clock
and can be used as a source of random bits.

Reset and Mode Control: 0x50

The XS1-S has two main reset signals: a system-reset and an xCORE Tile-reset.
System-reset resets the whole system including external devices, whilst xCORE
Tile-reset resets the xCORE Tile(s) only. The resets are induced either by software
(by a write to the register below) or by one of the following:
* External reset on RST_N (System reset)
* Brown out on one of the power supplies (System reset)
* Watchdog timer (System reset)
* Sleep sequence (xCORE Tile reset)
* Clock source change (xCORE Tile reset)
The minimum system reset duration is achieved when the fastest permissible clock
is used. The reset durations will be proportionately longer when a slower clock
is used. Note that the minimum system reset duration allows for all power rails
except the VOUT2 to turn off, and decay.
The length of the system reset comes from an internal counter, counting 524,288
oscillator clock cycles which gives the maximum time allowable for the supply rails
to discharge. The system reset duration is a balance between leaving a long time
for the supply rails to discharge, and a short time for the system to boot. Example
reset times are 44 ms with a 12 MHz oscillator or 5.5 ms with a 96 MHz oscillator.

1 KHz Watchdog Control: 0xD6

The watchdog provides a mechanism to prevent programs from hanging by resetting the xCORE Tile after a pre-set time. The watchdog should be periodically
kicked by the application, causing the count-down to be restarted. If the watchdog
expires, it may be due to a program hanging, for example because of a (transient)
hardware issue.
The watchdog timeout is measured in 1 ms clock ticks, meaning that a time
between 1 ms and 65 seconds can be set for the timeout. The watchdog timer
is only clocked during the AWAKE power state. When writing the timeout value,
both the timeout and its ones complement should be written. This reduces the
chances of accidentally setting kicking the watchdog. If the written value does
not comprise a 16-bit value with a 16-bit ones complement, the request will be
NACKed, otherwise an ACK will be sent.
If the watchdog expires, the xCORE Tile is reset.

Set to 1 to switch the ADC to sample a 0.8V signal rather than


the external voltage. This can be used to calibrate the ADC.
When switching to and from calibration mode, one sample
value should be discarded. If a sample value x is measured
in calibration mode, then a scale factor 800000/x can be used
to translate subsequent measurements into microvolts (using
integer arithmetic).

RW

Set to 1 to enable the ADC. Note that when enabled, the ADC
control registers above are read-only. The ADC must be disabled
whilst setting up the per-input-pin control.
On enabling the ADC, six pulses must be generated to calibrate
the ADC. These pulses will not generate packets on the selected channel-end. The seventh and further pulses will deliver
samples to the selected channel-end.

Indicates that an ADC sample has been dropped. This bit is


cleared on a read.

Device Errata
This section describes minor operational differences from the data sheet and
recommended workarounds. As device and documentation issues become known,
this section will be updated the document revised.
To guarantee a logic low is seen on the pins DEBUG_N, MODE[3:0], TMS, TCK and
TDI, the driving circuit should present an impedance of less than 100 to ground.
Usually this is not a problem for CMOS drivers driving single inputs. If one or more
of these inputs are placed in parallel, however, additional logic buffers may be
required to guarantee correct operation.
For static inputs tied high or low, the relevant input pin should be tied directly to
GND or VDDIO.

JTAG, xSCOPE and Debugging


If you intend to design a board that can be used with the XMOS toolchain and

No xSYS header

The use of an xSYS header is optional, and may not be required for volume
production designs. However, the XMOS toolchain expects the xSYS header; if you
do not have an xSYS header then you must provide your own method for writing to
flash/OTP and for debugging.

JTAG-only xSYS header

The xSYS header connects to an xTAG debugger, which has a 20-pin 0.1" female
IDC header. The design will hence need a male IDC header. We advise to use a
boxed header to guard against incorrect plug-ins. If you use a 90 degree angled
header, make sure that pins 2, 4, 6, ..., 20 are along the edge of the PCB.
Connect pins 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 of the xSYS header to ground, and then connect:

TDI to pin 5 of the xSYS header


TMS to pin 7 of the xSYS header
TCK to pin 9 of the xSYS header
DEBUG_N to pin 11 of the xSYS header
TDO to pin 13 of the xSYS header
RST_N to pin 15 of the xSYS header
If MODE2 is configured high, connect MODE2 to pin 3 of the xSYS header. Do
not connect to VDDIO.
If MODE3 is configured high, connect MODE3 to pin 3 of the xSYS header. Do
not connect to VDDIO.
The RST_N net should be open-drain, active-low, and have a pull-up to VDDIO.

M.3

Full xSYS header

For a full xSYS header you will need to connect the pins as discussed in Section M.2,
and then connect a 2-wire xCONNECT Link to the xSYS header. The links can be
found in the Signal description table (Section 4): they are labelled XLA, XLB, etc in
the function column. The 2-wire link comprises two inputs and outputs, labelled
0
0
1
1
out , out , in , and in , . For example, if you choose to use XLB of tile 0 for xSCOPE
I/O, you need to connect up XLB1out , XLB0out , XLB0in , XLB1in as follows:

XLB1out (X0D16) to pin 6 of the xSYS header with a 33R series resistor close to
the device.
XLB0out (X0D17) to pin 10 of the xSYS header with a 33R series resistor close to
the device.
XLB0in (X0D18) to pin 14 of the xSYS header.
XLB1in (X0D19) to pin 18 of the xSYS header.

Schematics Design Check List


This section is a checklist for use by schematics designers using the
XS1-U8A-64-FB96. Each of the following sections contains items to
check for each design.

N.1

Clock
If you use USB, then your clock frequency is one of 12, 24, 48, or 96
MHz (Section 8).
Pins MODE0 and MODE1 are set to the correct value for the chosen
frequency. The MODE settings are shown in the Oscillator section,
Section 8. If you have a choice between two values, choose the value
with the highest multiplier ratio since that will boot faster.
OSC_EXT_N is tied to ground (for use with a crystal or oscillator) or
tied to VDDIO (for use with the internal oscillator). If using the internal
oscillator, set MODE0 and MODE1 to be for the 20-48 MHz range
(Section 8).
If you have used an oscillator, it is a 1V8 oscillator. (Section 17)

N.2

Boot
The device is connected to a SPI flash for booting, connected to X0D0,
X0D01, X0D10, and X0D11 (Section 9). If not, you must boot the
device through OTP or JTAG.
The device that is connected to flash has both MODE2 and MODE3 NC
(Section 9).
The SPI flash that you have chosen is supported by xflash, or you have
created a specification file for it.

N.3

JTAG, XScope, and debugging


You have decided as to whether you need an XSYS header or not
(Section M)
If you included an XSYS header, you connected pin 3 to any
MODE2/MODE3 pin that would otherwise be NC (Section M).
If you have not included an XSYS header, you have devised a method
to program the SPI-flash or OTP (Section M).

Multi device designs

Skip this section if your design only includes a single XMOS device.
One device is connected to a SPI flash for booting.
Devices that boot from link have MODE2 grounded and MODE3 NC.
These device must have link XLB connected to a device to boot from
(see 9).
If you included an XSYS header, you have included buffers for RST_N,
TMS, TCK, MODE2, and MODE3 (Section L).

PCB Layout Design Check List


This section is a checklist for use by PCB designers using the XS1-U8A64-FB96. Each of the following sections contains items to check for
each design.

O.1

Ground Balls and Ground Plane


There is one via for each ground ball to minimize impedance and
conduct heat away from the device (Section 16.1).
There are only few non-ground vias around the square of ground balls,
to creating a good, solid, ground plane. Examples of a good and bad
designs are shown in Figure XXX.

O.2

Power supply decoupling


VSUP has a ceramic X5R or X7R bulk decoupler as close as possible
to the VSUP and PGND (VDDCORE) pins; right next to the device
(Section 16).
The 1V0 decoupling cap is close to the VDDCORE and PGND pins
(Section 16).
The 1V8 decoupling cap is close to the VDD1V8 and PGND pins (Section 16).
All PGND nets are connected together prior to connection to the main
ground plane (Section 16).

An example PCB layout is shown in Section 17. Placing the decouplers too far away
may lead to the device not coming up, or not operating properly.
