OVERVIEW

SAMSUNGs S3C2800 32-bit RISC microprocessor is designed to provide a cost-effective and high-performance micro-controller solution for general applications. The S3C2800 features the following integrated on-chip support to help design a system a low cost: 16KB I/D caches, 2-ch UART with handshake, 4-ch DMA, memory controller, 3-ch timer, GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) ports, RTC (Real Time Clock), 2-ch IIC-BUS interface, and a built-in PLL for system clock.

FEATURES

Architecture

? Little-/Big-endian support for external memory.

? Address space: 32Mbytes per each bank (Total 256Mbyte)

? Supports programmable 8/16/32-bit data bus width for each memory bank

? Fixed bank start address for all (static memory and dynamic memory banks)

? 8 memory banks

– 4 memory banks for static memory (ROM, SRAM, FLASH etc)

– 4 memory banks for dynamic memory (Fast Page, EDO, and Synchronous DRAM)

? Fully programmable access cycles for all static memory banks

? Supports external wait signal to extend the bus cycle

? Supports self-refresh mode in DRAM/SDRAM.

? Supports asymmetric/symmetric address of DRAM

I/D (Instruction/Data) Cache Memory

? 64-way set-associative ICache (16KB) and DCache (16KB)

? 8 words per line with one valid bit and 2 dirty bits per line

? Pseudo-random or round-robin replacement algorithm

? Write-through and Write-back cache operation.

? The write buffer can hold 16 words of data and 4 addresses

? Low voltage cache for reduced power consumption

Clock & Power Manager

? The on-chip PLL generates the necessary clock for the operation of MCU at maximum of 200MHz@1.8V

? Input frequency range: (Fin) = 6MHz – 10MHz.

? Output frequency range: (FCLK) = 20MHz – 200MHz

? Clock can be selectively provided to each function block by software

? Power Down Mode: NORMAL, SLOW, and IDLE mode

– NORMAL mode: Normal operating mode

– SLOW mode: Low frequency clock without PLL

– IDLE mode: Clock to CPU is disabled

PCI Bus Interface

? Embedded PCI Host Bridge

? 32-bit data bus at 66MHz
