SoC Intel XScale PXA255 introduction
Intel XScale PXA255 processor is continuing the advance in handheld
multimedia functionality.
PXA255 is Low power, high performance 32-bit Intel XScale® core-based
CPU (200, 300 and 400 MHz). The SoC is ARM Architecture v.5TE compliant.
0.18µ process for high core speeds at low power.
Intel® Media Processing Technology including 40-bit accumulator and 16-bit
SIMD to enhance audio/video decode performance.
In power field, Low Power and Turbo modes enables enhanced optimal
battery life. 32 KB data and 32 KB instruction caches, 2 KB Mini data cache for
streaming data.
About PXA255 I/O expansion function, Integrated Memory and
PCMCIA/Compact Flash Controller with 100 MHz Memory Bus, 16-bit or 32-bit
ROM/Flash/SRAM (six banks), 16-bit or 32-bit SDRAM, SMROM (four banks),
as well as PCMCIA and Compact Flash for added functionality and
expandability. System Control Module includes 17 dedicated general-purpose
interruptible I/O ports, real-time clock, watchdog and interval timers, power
management controller, interrupt controller, reset controller, and two on-chip
oscillators.
