5 System Control
System control configures the overall operation of the device and provides information about the
device. Configurable features include reset control, NMI operation, power control, clock control, and
low-power modes.
5.1 Signal Description
The following table lists the external signals of the System Control module and describes the function
of each. The NMI signal is the alternate function for two GPIO signals, which default to GPIO after
reset. The NMI pins are under commit protection and require a special process to be configured as
any alternate function or to subsequently return to the GPIO function. See “Commit
Control” on page 783 for more information. The column in the table below titled "Pin Mux/Pin
Assignment" lists the GPIO pin placement for the NMI signal. The number in parentheses next to
the pin placement listed is the encoding that must be programmed into the PMCn field in the GPIO
Port Control (GPIOPCTL) register (page 818) to assign the NMI signal to the specified GPIO port
pin. In addition, the AFSEL bit in the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(page 801) should be set to choose the NMI function. For more information on configuring GPIOs,
see “General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)” on page 771. The remaining signals listed in the table
(with the word "fixed" in the Pin Mux/Pin Assignment column) have a fixed pin assignment and
function.

Pin NumberPin Name
An optionally divided reference clock output based
on a selected clock source. Note that this signal is
not synchronized to the System Clock.
TTLOPQ4 (7)A13DIVSCLK
GND for the MOSC. When using a crystal clock
source, this pin should be connected to digital
ground along with the crystal load capacitors. When
using an external oscillator, this pin should be
connected to digital ground.

5.2 Functional Description
The System Control module provides the following capabilities:
■ Device identification, see “Device Identification” on page 231
■ Configurable control of reset, power, and clock sources.
■ System control (Run, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep modes), see “System Control” on page 250
