SAM4S Series [DATASHEET]

5.6 Wake-up Sources
The wake-up events allow the device to exit the backup mode. When a wake-up event is detected, the Supply Controller
performs a sequence which automatically reenables the core power supply and the SRAM power supply, if they are not
already enabled.
5.7 Fast Start-up
The SAM4S allows the processor to restart in a few microseconds while the processor is in wait mode. A fast start-up can
occur upon detection of a low level on one of the 19 wake-up inputs (WKUP0 to 15 + USB + RTC + RTT).
The fast restart circuitry, as shown in Figure 6., is fully asynchronous and provides a fast start-up signal to the Power
Management Controller. As soon as the fast start-up signal is asserted, the PMC automatically restarts the embedded
4/8/12 MHz Fast RC oscillator, switches the master clock on this 4 MHz clock and reenables the processor clock.
6. Input/Output Lines
The SAM4S has several kinds of input/output (I/O) lines such as general purpose I/Os (GPIO) and system I/Os. GPIOs
can have alternate functionality due to multiplexing capabilities of the PIO controllers. The same PIO line can be used
whether in I/O mode or by the multiplexed peripheral. System I/Os include pins such as test pins, oscillators, erase or
analog inputs.
6.1 General Purpose I/O Lines
GPIO Lines are managed by PIO controllers. All I/Os have several input or output modes such as pull-up or pull-down,
input Schmitt triggers, multi-drive (open-drain), glitch filters, debouncing or input change interrupt. Programming of these
modes is performed independently for each I/O line through the PIO controller user interface. For more details, refer to
the product “PIO Controller” section.
Some GPIOs can have alternate function as analog input. When the GPIO is set in analog mode, all digital features of
the I/O are disabled.
The input/output buffers of the PIO lines are supplied through VDDIO power supply rail.
The SAM4S embeds high-speed pads able to handle up to 70 MHz for HSMCI (MCK/2), 70 MHz for SPI clock lines and
46 MHz on other lines. See the AC Characteristics section of the electrical characteristics. Typical pull-up and pull-down
value is 100 kΩ for all I/Os.
Each I/O line also embeds an ODT (On-Die Termination), (see Figure 6-1 below). It consists of an internal series resistor
termination scheme for impedance matching between the driver output (SAM4S) and the PCB trace impedance
preventing signal reflection. The series resistor helps to reduce IOs switching current (di/dt) thereby reducing in turn,
EMI. It also decreases overshoot and undershoot (ringing) due to inductance of interconnect between devices or
between boards. In conclusion ODT helps diminish signal integrity issues.
