LPC1769 Interrupt Program

The document discusses interrupts and timers on microcontrollers. It defines an interrupt as an external or internal event that interrupts the microcontroller to request service. Timers can generate interrupts to allow a microcontroller to serve multiple devices. Interrupts are more efficient than polling as they allow prioritizing devices and don't waste time polling inactive devices. The document then describes how interrupts work, including saving the program counter, jumping to the interrupt service routine, and returning from the interrupt. It also discusses interrupt vector tables and provides examples of timer-based code for blinking LEDs using matches and interrupts on an LPC1768 microcontroller.

 What is interrupt ?

– An interrupt is an external or internal event that


interrupts the microcontroller to inform it that a device needs its
service.

 Why we need interrupt? – A single microcontroller can serve several


devices by two ways

1. Interrupt-Whenever any device needs its service, the device notifies the
microcontroller by sending it an interrupt signal. Upon receiving an
interrupt signal, the microcontroller interrupts whatever it is doing and
serves the device. The program which is associated with the interrupt is
called the interrupt service routine (ISR) or interrupt handler
2. Polling- The microcontroller continuously monitors the status of a
given device. When the conditions met, it performs the service. After
that, it moves on to monitor the next device until every one is serviced

 Advantage of interrupt– The polling method is not efficient, since it


wastes much of the microcontroller’s time by polling devices that do
not need service. The advantage of interrupts is that the microcontroller
can serve many devices, Each devices can get the attention of the
microcontroller based on the assigned priority . For the polling method,
it is not possible to assign priority since it checks all devices in a round-
robin fashion.

 How does interrupt works? –


o Whenever any device needs its service, the device notifies the
microcontroller by sending it an interrupt signal.
o Upon receiving an interrupt signal, the microcontroller interrupts
whatever it is doing and saves the address of the next instruction
(PC) on the stack pointer (SP).
o It jumps to a fixed location in memory, called the interrupt vector
table, that holds the address of the ISR(interrupt service routine).
Each interrupt has its own ISR. The microcontroller gets the
address of the ISR from the interrupt vector table and jumps to it
o It starts to execute the interrupt service subroutine until it reaches
the last instruction of the subroutine which is RETI (return from
interrupt).RETI not used in C coding.
o Upon executing the RETI instruction, the microcontroller returns
to the place where it was interrupted and First, it gets the program
counter (PC) address from the stack pointer by popping the top
two bytes of the stack into the PC
o Then it starts to execute from that address and continue what it
executing before.
o This whole process is shown graphically in above pics.

 Interrupt vector table –Interrupt vector table shows priority of


different interrupts. As below table shown,Reset has highest priority
among all interrupt and serial COM(USART) has lowest. Priority is
high to low as Reset to serial COM. Upon Reset, all interrupts are
disabled (masked), meaning that none will be responded to by the
microcontroller if they are activated. There are 6 total interrupts in
8051 microcontroller. First is Reset, two hardware external interrupt
INT0 and INT1, two Timer interrupt TF0 and TF1 and last one is serial
com interrupt that is for both receiver and transmitter.

LPC 1769 timer interrupt calculation

LPC_SC->PCLKSEL0 |= 1<<1; //100 MHz


LPC_SC->PCLKSEL0 |= 1<<1; //96 MHz

Your code is setting the clock division for the watch dog timer. The timer0
position is at bits 3-2 (div << 2).
The default for timer 0 is CCLK/4 so you need to write "01" to bits 3-2 (0x01
<< 2) for 100MHz. So the two
lines above don't make any sense.

The math is easy.


1.You set the clock to the timer with PCLKSEL0.
2. Start the timer and it will count up to your match value and interrupt.
3. The timer resets and counts up again.

For 10msec interrupt:


Timer 0 clock = 100MHz clock that would be 100nsec per count.
Desired count timer is 10msec = .01sec,
Every Timer0 count will equal 100nsec.

Number of counts per interrupt = .01 sec / 100nsec per count = 1000000
counts. MR0 = 1000000.
Example 1) – Simple Blinky Example using Timer & GPIO
Now lets write a C/C++ blinky program which flashes a LED every half a second. Since 0.5 second =
500 millisecond we will invoke timer delay function ‘delayMS’ as delayMS(500). The LED is
connected to Pin P0.22.

Example 2) – Blinky example code using Timer & Match Outputs
In this C/C++ Example we will use Match outputs 0 and 1 of Timer 0 i.e. MAT0.0 and MAT0.1.
MAT0.0 is pinned to P1.28 and MAT0.1 pinned to P1.29. You can connect LED to any of the Match
output pin (P1.28 or P1.29) and see the code in action.

Example 3) – LPC1768 Timer Interrupt Example Code
Here we will use a timer interrupt function which will be called periodically to blink an LED. The
Timer Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) will toggle P1.29 every time it is called. If you are using C++
file then you will need to add extern “C” before the ISR definition or C++ linker won’t be able to
link it properly to generate finally binary/hex file. For C code this is not required.
