Cortex-M4 Core Peripherals
11.7.1
Peripherals
• Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) is an embedded interrupt controller that
supports low latency interrupt processing. See
Section 11.8 ”Nested Vectored Interrupt
• System Control Block (SCB)
The System Control Block (SCB) is the programmers model interface to the processor. It
provides system implementation information and system control, including configuration,
control, and reporting of system exceptions. See
Section 11.9 ”System Control Block (SCB)”
• System Timer (SysTick)
The System Timer, SysTick, is a 24-bit count-down timer. Use this as a Real Time Operating
System (RTOS) tick timer or as a simple counter. See
• Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The Memory Protection Unit (MPU) improves system reliability by defining the memory
attributes for different memory regions. It provides up to eight different regions, and an
optional predefined background region. See
Section 11.11 ”Memory Protection Unit (MPU)”
11.7.2
Address Map
The address map of the Private peripheral bus (PPB) is:
In register descriptions:
• the required privilege gives the privilege level required to access the register, as follows:
– Privileged: Only privileged software can access the register.
– Unprivileged: Both unprivileged and privileged software can access the register.
