Key Features

• CPU Core: CPU32+ single 32-bit core at 25 MHz delivering deterministic embedded processing (CPU32+ architecture).
• Bus and Memory Support: Up to 32-bit data bus with dynamic sizing for 8- and 16-bit transfers and on-chip support for DRAM controllers; boot chip select options for 8-, 16- or 32-bit memory.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM): Integrated CPM with RISC controller and support for extensive serial channel operations including buffer descriptors and continuous mode transmission/reception.
• Serial Interfaces: Four Serial Communications Controllers (SCCs), two Serial Management Controllers (SMCs) and one SPI channel for multi-protocol serial connectivity; SCC1 supports optional 10 Mbps Ethernet on applicable variants.
• DMA and Timers: Two independent DMA controllers (IDMAs) with buffer chaining and auto-buffer modes; four general-purpose timers configurable as four 16-bit or two 32-bit timers.
• System Integration Module (SIM60): On-chip system features including bus monitor, double bus fault monitor, watchdog, periodic interrupt timer, clock synthesizer and hardware breakpoints.
• I/O and Voltage: 5 V I/O signaling and additional serial interfaces including SCC channels; graphics acceleration is not included.
• Package and Mounting: 240-pin FQFP package (240-FQFP, 32 × 32 mm) designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Operating Range and Qualification: Industrial temperature range from −40 °C to 85 °C; industrial qualification and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Controllers: Leverages multiple SCCs, SMCs and CPM to handle protocol framing, buffering and serial offload in communication equipment.
• Industrial Control Systems: Industrial qualification and robust system integration features make it suitable for controller tasks requiring deterministic timing and external memory interfacing.
• Networked Embedded Devices: Optional 10 Mbps Ethernet support on an SCC channel and extensive serial peripherals support networking and fieldbus interfaces in embedded nodes.
• Compact Multi-Function Controllers: On-chip DMA, timers and system monitors enable consolidated designs that reduce external components for compact controller modules.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystem: Built-in CPM plus multiple SCC/SMC/SPI channels reduce external peripheral requirements for protocol handling.
