PRODUCT OVERVIEW S3C2440A RISC MICROPROCESSOR
1-2
FEATURES
Architecture
Integrated system for hand-held devices and
general embedded applications.
16/32-Bit RISC architecture and powerful
instruction set with ARM920T CPU core.
Enhanced ARM architecture MMU to support
WinCE, EPOC 32 and Linux.
Instruction cache, data cache, write buffer and
Physical address TAG RAM to reduce the effect
of main memory bandwidth and latency on
performance.
ARM920T CPU core supports the ARM debug
architecture.
Internal Advanced Microcontroller Bus
Architecture (AMBA) (AMBA2.0, AHB/APB).
System Manager
Little/Big Endian support.
Support Fast bus mode and Asynchronous bus
mode.
Address space: 128M bytes for each bank (total
1G bytes).
Supports programmable 8/16/32-bit data bus
width for each bank.
Fixed bank start address from bank 0 to bank 6.
Programmable bank start address and bank size
for bank 7.
Eight memory banks:
– Six memory banks for ROM, SRAM, and others.
– Two memory banks for ROM/SRAM/
Synchronous DRAM.
Complete Programmable access cycles for all
memory banks.
Supports external wait signals to expand the bus
cycle.
Supports self-refresh mode in SDRAM for power-
down.
Supports various types of ROM for booting
(NOR/NAND Flash, EEPROM, and others).
NAND Flash Boot Loader
Supports booting from NAND flash memory.
4KB internal buffer for booting.
Supports storage memory for NAND flash
memory after booting.
Supports Advanced NAND flash
Cache Memory
64-way set-associative cache with I-Cache
(16KB) and D-Cache (16KB).
8words length per line with one valid bit and two
dirty bits per line.
Pseudo random or round robin replacement
algorithm.
Write-through or write-back cache operation to
update the main memory.
The write buffer can hold 16 words of data and
four addresses.
Clock & Power Manager
On-chip MPLL and UPLL:
UPLL generates the clock to operate USB
Host/Device.
MPLL generates the clock to operate MCU at
maximum 400Mhz @ 1.3V.
Clock can be fed selectively to each function
block by software.
Power mode: Normal, Slow, Idle, and Sleep
mode
Normal mode: Normal operating mode
Slow mode: Low frequency clock without PLL
Idle mode: The clock for only CPU is stopped.
Sleep mode: The Core power including all
peripherals is shut down.
Woken up by EINT[15:0] or RTC alarm interrupt
from Sleep mode
