Product Overview
Two XOR DMAs
• Useful for RAID application
• Supports XOR operation on up to eight source
blocks
• Supports also iSCSI CRC-32 calculation
• Command queuing support, for up to 128
outstanding commands
• Separate SATA request/response queues
• 64-bit addressing support for descriptors and data
buffers in system memory
• Read ahead
Interrupt controller
• Advanced interrupt coalescing
• Advanced drive diagnostics via the ATA SMART
command
Maskable interrupts to CPU core
(and PCI Express in the case of PCI Express
Endpoint)
Cryptographic engine
Four General Purpose 32-bit Timer/Counters
SPI port
• General purpose SPI interface
• Also support boot from SPI ROM
• Hardware implementation on encryption and
authentication engines to boost packet processing
speed
• Dedicated DMA to feed the hardware engines with
data from the internal SRAM memory or from the
DDR memory
• Implements AES, DES, and 3DES encryption
algorithms
Two TWSI interfaces
General purpose TWSI master/slave
24 Multi-Purpose pins dedicated for peripheral
functions and General Purpose I/O
• Each pin can be configured independently
• GPIO inputs can be used to register interrupts from
external devices, and to generate maskable
interrupts
• Implements SHA1 and MD5 authentication
algorithms
Three UART interfaces
• 16550 UART compatible
• Each port has two pins for transmit and receive
operations, and two pins for modem control
functions
Clock Generation
• Supports internal generation of CPU core clock,
DRAM clock, core clock, GbE clock, USB clock,
and SATA clock from a single 25 MHz reference
clock
• One channel also supports DMA
Four Channel Independent DMA controller
• Chaining via linked-lists of descriptors
• Moves data from any interface to any interface
• DMA trigger by software or external hardware
• Supports increment or hold on both Source and
Destination Address
• Also supports spread spectrum reference clock
Power Down support
• Supports CPU Wait for Interrupt mode (shut down
CPU core clock)
• Selectable gating of clock trees of different
interfaces
• Supports DRAM self-refresh
• Supports PCI-Express, USB, and SATA PHYs shut
down
27 x 27 mm FCBGA package, 1mm ball pitch
