ARM Cortex-M0 SysTick learning notes
UM10398 User Manual Chapter 24: LPC111x/LPC11Cxx System tick timer (SysTick)
24 September 2012 User manual page 396 of 538
The system tick timer (SysTick timer) is part of the ARM Cortex-M0 core and is identical
for all LPC111x, LPC11D14, and LPC11Cxx parts.
24.2 Basic configuration
The system tick timer is configured using the following registers:
1. Pins: The system tick timer uses no external pins.
2. Power: The system tick timer is enabled through the SysTick control register
(Section 28.6.4.1). The system tick timer clock is fixed to half the frequency of the
system clock.
3. Enable the clock source for the SysTick timer in the SYST_CSR register (Table 357).
24.3 Features
• Simple 24-bit timer.
• Uses dedicated exception vector.
• Clocked internally by the system clock or the system clock/2.
24.4 General description
The SysTick timer is an integral part of the Cortex-M0. The SysTick timer is intended to
generate a fixed 10 millisecond interrupt for use by an operating system or other system
management software.
Since the SysTick timer is a part of the Cortex-M0, it facilitates porting of software by
providing a standard timer that is available on Cortex-M0 based devices. The SysTick
timer can be used for:
• An RTOS tick timer which fires at a programmable rate (for example 100 Hz) and
invokes a SysTick routine.
• A high-speed alarm timer using the core clock.
• A simple counter. Software can use this to measure time to completion and time used.
• An internal clock source control based on missing/meeting durations. The
COUNTFLAG bit-field in the control and status register can be used to determine if an
action completed within a set duration, as part of a dynamic clock management
control loop.
24.5 Register description
The systick timer registers are located on the ARM Cortex-M0 private peripheral bus (see
Figure 97), and are part of the ARM Cortex-M0 core peripherals. For details, see
Section 28.6.4.

24.5.2 System Timer Reload value register
The SYST_RVR register is set to the value that will be loaded into the SysTick timer
whenever it counts down to zero. This register is loaded by software as part of timer
initialization. The SYST_CALIB register may be read and used as the value for
SYST_RVR register if the CPU is running at the frequency intended for use with the
SYST_CALIB value.
24.5.3 System Timer Current value register
The SYST_CVR register returns the current count from the System Tick counter when it is
read by software.

24.5.4 System Timer Calibration value register (SYST_CALIB - 0xE000 E01C)
The value of the SYST_CALIB register is driven by the value of the SYSTCKCAL register
in the system configuration block (see Table 34).
24.6 Functional description
The SysTick timer is a 24-bit timer that counts down to zero and generates an interrupt.
The intent is to provide a fixed 10 millisecond time interval between interrupts. The
SysTick timer is clocked from the CPU clock (the system clock, see Figure 8) or from the
reference clock, which is fixed to half the frequency of the CPU clock. In order to generate
recurring interrupts at a specific interval, the SYST_RVR register must be initialized with
the correct value for the desired interval. A default value is provided in the SYST_CALIB
register and may be changed by software. The default value gives a 10 millisecond
interrupt rate if the CPU clock is set to 50 MHz.
24.7 Example timer calculations
To use the system tick timer, do the following:
1. Program the SYST_RVR register with the reload value RELOAD to obtain the desired
time interval.
2. Clear the SYST_CVR register by writing to it. This ensures that the timer will count
from the SYST_RVR value rather than an arbitrary value when the timer is enabled.
3. Program the SYST_SCR register with the value 0x7 which enables the SysTick timer
and the SysTick timer interrupt.
The following example illustrates selecting the SysTick timer reload value to obtain a
10 ms time interval with the LPC111x/LPC11Cxx system clock set to 50 MHz.
Example (system clock = 50 MHz)
The system tick clock = system clock = 50 MHz. Bit CLKSOURCE in the SYST_CSR
register set to 1 (system clock).
RELOAD = (system tick clock frequency 10 ms) 1 = (50 MHz 10 ms) 1 = 5000001
= 499999 = 0x0007A11F.

// LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8
// I/O configuration for pin PIO0_8/MISO0/CT16B0_MAT0 (R/W)
struct _PIO0_8
{
uint32_t FUNC : 3; // pin function

uint32_t reserved0 : 4;
uint32_t OD : 1; // Selects pseudo open-drain mode
uint32_t reserved1 : 21;
};
I then use inline functions to cast the ptr to register to the structure and then set/get the bit field values.
#define PIO0_8_FUNC_GPIO 0x0
#define PIO0_8_FUNC_MISO 0x1
#define PIO0_8_FUNC_TIMER 0x2
inline void IOCON_PIO0_8_FUNC(uint32_t val)
{
((_PIO0_8*)&LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8)->FUNC = val;
}
And best of all I let the compiler figure out all of the masks and bit shifts for me.
Here is what programming the 16-bit timer for PWM looks like with these inline functions:
void SetupPWM()
{
// Enables clock for 16-bit counter/timer 0
SYSCON_SYSAHBCLKCTRL_CT16B0(SYSAHBCLKCTRL_ENABLE);
// setup pin 1 for PWM output
IOCON_PIO0_8_FUNC(PIO0_8_FUNC_TIMER);
// disable pullup resistor pin 1
IOCON_PIO0_8_MODE(PIO0_8_MODE_NO_RESISTOR);
// set timer prescaler
TMR16B0_PR_Set(SystemFrequency/10000); // TC = 10Khz
// set match register 3 to reset TC
TMR16B0_MCR_MR3R(MCR_ENABLE);
// set PWM duty cycle
TMR16B0_MR3_Set(100); // 100Hz
// set pulse width
TMR16B0_MR0_Set(0); // 0%
// enable PWM mode on match register 0 (MR0)
TMR16B0_PWMC_PWMEN0(PWMC_ENABLE);
// enable counter
TMR16B0_TCR_CEn(TCR_ENABLE);
// reset timers
//TMR16B0_TCR_CRst(TCR_RESET);
}
