Brief Description

I2C module

Connectivity

peripherals

Inter-IC Communication (I2C) is an industry-standard, bidirectional serial bus

that provides a simple, efficient method of data exchange, minimizing the

interconnection between devices. I2C is suitable for applications requiring

occasional communications over a short distance between many devices.

The interface operates up to 100 kbps with maximum bus loading and timing.

The I2C system is a true multiple-master bus, including arbitration and

collision detection that prevents data corruption if multiple devices attempt to

control the bus simultaneously. This feature supports complex applications

with multiprocessor control and can be used for rapid testing and alignment

of end products through external connections to an assembly-line computer.

IC

Security

Identification

Module

The IIM provides the primary user-visible mechanism for interfacing with

on-chip fuse elements. Among the uses for the fuses are unique chip

identifiers, mask revision numbers, cryptographic keys, and various control

signals requiring a fixed value.

I/O multiplexer Pins

Each I/O multiplexer provides a flexible, scalable multiplexing solution:

• Up to eight output sources multiplexed per pin

• Up to four destinations for each input pin

• Unselected input paths are held at constant level for reduced power

consumption

Keypad port Connectivity

peripherals

KPP can be used for either keypad matrix scanning or general purpose I/O.

LCD

Controller

Multimedia

peripherals

LCDC provides display data for external gray-scale or color LCD panels.

LCDC is capable of supporting black-and-white, gray-scale, passive-matrix

color (passive color or CSTN), and active-matrix color (active color or TFT)

LCD panels.

ARM platform ARM platform

AHB crossbar

switch

MAX concurrently supports up to five simultaneous connections between

master ports and slave ports. MAX allows for concurrent transactions to

occur from any master port to any slave port.

Pulse width Connectivity

modulation peripherals

The Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM) has a 16-bit counter and is optimized to

generate sound from stored sample audio images. It can also generate

tones. The PWM uses 16-bit resolution and a 4x16 data FIFO to generate

sound.

Smart DMA System control The SDMA provides DMA capabilities inside the processor. It is a shared

engine

module that implements 32 DMA channels.

interface

Connectivity

peripherals

The SIM is an asynchronous interface designed to facilitate communication

with SIM cards or pre-paid phone cards. This module was designed based

on the ISO7816 standard; however, the module does require an external

companion controller to allow communication to certain smart cards or to

pass certain certifications, such as EMV.

The SIM supports only 11 and 12ETU cards and can communicate at the

default rate, which is obtained at Fi/Di=372/1. An external companion

controller is required to support cards aligned on 10.8 or 11.8ETU and to

support other rates, such as those obtained at Fi/Di=372/2 and Fi/Di=372/4.

Secure JTAG System control The System JTAG Controller (SJC) provides debug and test control with
