The USB module is capable of saving a timestamp associated with particular USB events (see Figure 42- 7). This can be useful in compensating for delays in software response. The timestamp values are based on the USB module's internal timer, driven by USBCLK.
Up to four events can be selected to generate the timestamp, selected with the TSESEL bits. When they occur, the value of the USB timer is transferred to the timestamp register USBTSREG, and thus the exact moment of the event is recorded. The trigger options include one of three DMA channels or a software-driven event. The USB timer cannot be directly accessed by reading.
Furthermore, the value of the USB timer can be used to generate periodic interrupts. Since the USBCLK can have a frequency different from the other system clocks, this gives another option for periodic system interrupts. The UTSEL bits select the divider from the USB clock. UTIE must be set for an interrupt vector to get triggered. The timestamp register is set to zero on a frame-number-receive event and pseudo-start-of-frame. TSGEN enables or disables the time stamp generator.
Suspend and Resume Logic
The USB suspend and resume logic detects suspend and resume conditions on the USB bus. These events are flagged in SUSRIFG and RESRIFG, respectively, and they fire dedicated interrupts if the interrupts are enabled (SUSIE and RESRIE). The remote wakeup mechanism, in which a USB device can cause the USB host to awaken and resume the device, is triggered by setting the RWUP bit of the USBCTL register. See Section 42.2.6 for more information.
Reset Logic
A PUC resets the USB module logic. When FRSTE = 1, the logic is also reset when a USB reset event occurs on the bus, triggered by the USB host. (A USB reset also sets the RSTRIFG flag.) USB buffer memory is not reset by a USB reset.
