Visit the official Teensy websitus di www.pjrc.com/teensy and navigate to the "Getting Started" section for detailed software installation and driver setup instructions.
The Teensy 4.0 comes with pre-soldered header pins, allowing for direct insertion into breadboards or custom PCBs.

3.3 Power Shut-Off Feature

The Teensy 4.0 includes a power shut-off feature. By connecting a pushbutton to the On/Off pin, the 3.3V power supply can be completely disabled by holding the button for 5 seconds. A brief press of the button will turn the power back on.

4. Parentah Operasi

The Teensy 4.0 is designed for advanced microcontroller projects. Its architecture allows for efficient execution and flexible operation.

4.1 Pinout Overview

The Teensy 4.0 offers a comprehensive set of pins for various functionalities. Refer to the pinout diagrams below for detailed information on digital, analog, PWM, audio, serial, I2C, SPI, and CAN bus pins.

4.2 Dynamic Clock Scaling

Unlike many traditional microcontrollers, the Teensy 4.0's hardware and Teensyduino's software support for Arduino timing functions are designed to allow dynamic speed changes. This means serial baud rates, audio streaming sample rates, and Arduino functions like delay() jeung millis(), along with Teensyduino's extensions like IntervalTimer jeung elapsedMillis, continue to function correctly even when the CPU clock speed is adjusted.

4.3 Memory Architecture

The Cortex-M7 processor in Teensy 4.0 utilizes a sophisticated memory architecture:

ITCM Bus: Provides a 64-bit path for fetching instructions, ensuring rapid code execution.
DTCM Bus: Consists of a pair of 32-bit paths, enabling the M7 to perform up to two separate memory accesses in the same cycle.
Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM): 512KB of memory can be accessed as TCM. Teensyduino automatically allocates Arduino sketch code into ITCM and non-malloc memory to the fast DTCM for optimized performance.
AXI Bus: Separate from the TCM buses, the main AXI bus accesses other memory and peripherals. Memory not accessed on the tightly coupled buses is optimized for DMA access by peripherals, facilitating efficient I/O operations.

4.4 Branch Prediction

The Cortex-M7 is the first ARM microcontroller to incorporate branch prediction. This feature significantly reduces the overhead associated with loop execution. After a loop has executed a few times, the branch prediction mechanism allows the branch instruction to run in only a single clock cycle, improving overall execution speed.

4.5 Audio Integration

The Teensy 4.0 supports digital audio functionalities. An optional audio adapter can be connected to expand its audio capabilities.
