3.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Three main blocks can be identified in the device architecture: ARM domain, the D950 domain and the
Clocks tree domain.
3.1 ARM7 domain
The ARM domain is a multibus microprocessor system based on the ARM7TDMI processor.
• The system bus is based on the Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) that includes
two distinct buses:
• The Advanced High performance Bus (AHB) for high performances system modules
• The Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) for low power peripherals.
• A high speed 32 bit data bus is provided to connect external memories.
• A controller for external static memory (ESM) and a controller for external dynamic memory (EDM)
are provided.
• Static memories, like FLASH EPROM, SRAM and dynamic memories like EDO, SDRAM, can be

connected on the same external 32 bits high speed bus
Two MII interfaces can hook directly to two 10/100 Ethernet PHYs
Internal control hardware manages the switching and MAC processing of frames on the two Ethernet
ports
Standard serial communication ports are available for easy device connection
The SPI port is mainly dedicated to the CODEC control. It is compatible with the STM codecs
STLC5046, STLC5048, STW5093. It is a standard SPI port and other peripherals can be connected
to it beside the codec
I2C port can be use to connect a LCD driver in case of IP-phone application, and a serial EEPROM
for boot coded and configuration data storage
GPIO block includes as an alternative function a scanning key encoder for direct interface with a 6x6
keypad matrix
Debouncing function is performed, so no overhead for the ARM controller is introduced
UART port allows connection to a host terminal. Code downloaded through UART can be performed
during boot
A Host Processor Interface (HPI) allows direct connection of an external control processor. The interface is directly compatible with the Motorola MPC850 external bus
3.2 D950 domain
The D950 domain is a DSP machine based on the D950 core.
• The D950 core is based on Harvard architecture with separate buses for instruction (I-bus) and data
(X-bus, Y-bus)
• The internal ROM runs basic system management code and standard vocoders
G711,G723.1A,G729AB that are included in the H.323 specification
• Additional vocoders and algorithms are downloaded from the ARM side through the DPRAM
• External CODEC is connected with a standard four wires PCM bus interface
• JTAG and emulation port are available for system software/hardware testing
• DPRAM is used as a communication channel between the ARM and D950
• Control messages and voice packets are exchanged through the DPRAM
• Fax over IP support
3.3 Clock Domain
Three main clock domains are present:
•
D950 and peripherals (100 MHz max)
•
ARM7 and peripherals (60 MHz max)
•
PCM (8.192 MHz max)
The clock base is provided by a fixed external 25MHz crystal/oscillator. A 25MHz clock output can be used
as a master clock for external Ethernet PHY devices, in 10BaseT operation.
NOTE: For 100BaseT operation, this clock may not be sufficiently stable with tight jitter requirements.
Thus the PHY’s may need their own 25 MHz crystal.
Internal PLL’s provide independent clocks to the D950 and ARM7 domain.
The ARM frequency is set by external pin, that selects between 50 MHz and 60 MHz.
The D950 frequency can be set by the ARM via Status register programming.
Four possible values are provided:
100 MHz
180 MHz
190 MHz
3/81
STLC1502
200 MHz
To change the D950 master clock frequency the following procedure must be followed:
1) Disable the D950 clock, by resetting the DCLK bit in the control register of the MISC Control register.
2) Wait 10 ARM cycles
3) Select a new D950 master clock, by writing the MISC Status register.
4) Wait 4 ms
5) Disable the D950 clock, by setting the DCLK bit in the MISC Control register.
An Internal divider provides an internal PCM clock, 2083 KHz, that is not exactly the standard 2048 KHz.
- An external PCM clock frequency can be applied using a dedicated crystal or oscillator, to provide exactly
8KHz synch and sampling clock on the PCM bus. (External pins configuration Testsel[3:0] at [0011]).
The PCM clock rate can be selected via software to achieve the following values:
1536 (24 Ch.) 2048 (32 Ch.) 4096 (64 Ch.) 8192 KHz (128 Ch.).
- The PCM clock and Frame synch signals can be selected as inputs or outputs, by programming the control register in the miscellaneous block.

5.0 ARM Memory Configuration
•
The AMBA bus system allows to handle memory blocks and peripherals on distinct buses, in order to
optimize the AHB architecture for maximum speed.

The memory blocks are attached to the AHB bus so ARM code can run at maximum speed.
An internal ROM is used to store boot code that polls serial peripherals (I2C EEPROM, UART) and
HPI for code download in external RAM. After download, the control is given to code in external
RAM.
An internal RAM is used to store ARM7 interrupt vectors and some data (network frames)
Four external memory types can be connected.
• Flash
• SRAM
• DRAM (SDRAM or EDO)
• Serial EEPROM
Flash, SRAM, DRAM share the same 32 bits data bus and 32 bits address bus. Little/Big endian
mode is software programmable for the DRAM memory controller. Serial EEPROM can be connected to the I2C bus.
The chip provides the option of booting from Flash or from serial EEPROM, by selection from an
external BOOT_SEL pin. So different memory configurations are possible depending on the application:
Flash, DRAM: The boot code including BOOTP and TFTP is stored in Flash. Application can be
stored in flash also, or can be downloaded into DRAM from Ethernet Network or UART.
EEPROM, DRAM: The boot is performed from internal ROM. The ROM code loads the code stored
in EPROM that includes BOOTP and TFTP. Application code will be downloaded into DRAM from
Ethernet or UART.
Flash, DRAM, EEPROM: It is like case 1, but has more flexibility. The EEPROM can be used to store
Network parameter data (MAC address) and other specific board data, so the code to store in flash is
the same for all the platforms, and you do not need to split the flash in a permanent storage area and
in an upgradable storage area. The EEPROM can also be used to allow the programming of the flash
the first time with a code downloaded from Ethernet Network.
DRAM: The boot is performed from internal ROM. The application code is downloaded from the host
processor through the HPI interface. To access external memory bus an internal decoder is implemented, that can select different external memory devices. 32 bits data bus is provided with the possibility to select external accesses at 16 and 8 bits for each memory bank. For example the flash can
be at 16 bits and the DRAM at 32 bits. There are 3 chip select available for static memory (4Mbytes
each), 4 chip selects for dynamic memory (8Mbytes each).
5.1 ARM Memory Map
The ARM microprocessor sees 5 main memory areas.
Actually the memory map depends on the phase the microprocessor is working on:
• Boot from internal ROM phase (REMAP=0 and BOOT_SEL=0);
• Boot from external Flash phase (REMAP=0 and BOOT_SEL=1);
• Operating phase (REMAP=1).
The first two phases are alternative (only one of them happens at the power on reset, while the third happens
after the boot.
6.0 AHB Bus
AHB Bus is a 32 bits data and 32 bits address bus.
6.1 Internal RAM
An internal Static RAM 2048x 32 is mapped starting at address 0x0 in operational mode and is used for ARM
interrupt vector tables.
11/81
STLC1502
6.2 ESM interface
•
•
•
•
•
•
The ESM (External Static Memory) interface is used to access static RAMs or Flash devices. It provides 3 chip select signals and gives external access to 21 address bits, so that the memory space
accessible through each chip select is 4 Mbytes.
The data bus on ESM external interface is 32bits wide, with the additional ability to perform 16 and 8
bits accesses. Little endian byte ordering is used. The data bus and address bus pins are shared with
the DRAM driver, using EBI interface.
Programmable per chip-select wait-states from 0 to 15 internal clock cycles are available.
At reset, every CS space has 15 wait states. The actual value is contained in the downloaded code.
The external memory spaces are mapped by the ESM interface as reported in Figure 4.
There are 3 addressable memory spaces 0x00400000 byte long each.

Every CS space can be programmed through internal register (one for each CS) in order to:
• select the number of wait states to perform external access depending on the speed of the external
device mapped on that memory area
• select if the data bus is x8 or x16 (available only for CS1 to CS2). When the x8 memories are used,
their data bus has to be placed on the ESM_D(7:0) signals
The wait states number for the external memories (depending on memory access time) is obtained from the
software code during the download phase. During the initialization phase, it is the responsibility of the software
to determine if a SRAM or a FLASH is present or not on a given CS space and the width of CS1-2 memories (if
13/81
STLC1502
present).
It is possible to connect every CSx to a Dual Port SRAM and use that as a communication mailbox between the
device and an external microprocessor. For example, the microprocessor can write a message in the memory
using one port and can send an interrupt to the device so that the execution routine related with that interrupt
can read from the other port of the memory connected to the same CSx of the ESM.
Viceversa, the ESM can write a message in the memory and then can send an interrupt to the external microprocessor that will read the message from the other port of the memory.
The SRAM and the FLASH devices that are used as references are standard.
6.2.1 ESM address decoding scheme
The ESM block includes also a decoder in order to generate the proper CS to the external device. In particular
this decoder will work on the bit 22,23,24 and 25 of the internal ARM address bus.

6.3 EDM interface
The EDM interface is used to access external DRAMs. This block supports both EDO and SDRAM interfaces
with enough flexibility to be used with several DRAM chips available in the market. This block has a separate
bus for control (the registers are placed on the APB bus) and for data (data and address are placed on the ASB
bus) and also includes an external bus interface that allows to share address and data bus pins with the static
ESM interface.
Figure 6 shows a block diagram of the EDM block.

It is possible to connect up to 4 external chips with x8, x16, and x32 data bus. Each memory bank space is
8Mbytes big so that a standard 64Mbit DRAM device can be connected. It is not possible to use a single
32Mbytes memory device.
It is the responsibility of the ARM code to properly configure the EDM block to initialize the DRAM at startup.
The external memory is mapped by the EDM interface as shown in Fig. 7.

tion from the ARM controller.
In receive, when the complete frame is stored in memory, the DMAC asserts the interrupt for the
ARM that can read the frame.
In transmit the DMAC provides an interrupt when the complete frame is transferred.
6.5 Ethernet Switch
The Ethernet switch block interfaces two MAC cores to implement a 3-port Ethernet Fast switch and MAC layer
for the Embedded VoIP network software.
Main features of the block are:
• Internal FIFOs for easy DMA transfers.
• Full duplex support using separate Tx, Rx FIFOs.
• Fast switching using hardware connections between the two MAC cores. ARM microcontroller is not
involved in the switching function.
• Support for priority mechanism for voice packets, using store-and-forward procedure for incoming
data packets.
• VLAN support
• 10/100 Mb/s data transfer rates
• The MAC cores provide 2 MII interfaces to connect two external PHYs.
The device works normally as a bidirectional switch between the two ports. When the following conditions happen the device triggers additional operations:
• Received frame destination MAC address matches device MAC address. The frame is transferred to
memory using DMA, and is not switched to the other port.
• A frame has to be transmitted by the device. In this case the block waits for the end of the current
frame being switched if any. If the frame is a voice frame, as soon as the line is free the block starts
transfer of the frame. Eventual incoming frames in the same direction are stored and forwarded after
the voice frame has been sent.

6.5.1 The DMA Descriptors Chain
The Descriptor list is the mean the CPU and the DMA_MAC use to communicate each other in order to
transmit/receive frames on the cable. This list must be properly prepared before initiating any transfer
activity to/from the cable. The Descriptor is produced by the CPU and consumed by the DMA_MAC.

A Descriptor is a 16-bytes element which provides the DMA_MAC with information about how to
transmit/receive a single frame and how to report the transfer status back to the CPU.
A Descriptor can be stored in any main memory location with a 32-bit aligned address.
The first 3 words stored in a Descriptor are expected to be the values of the 3 DMA_MAC registers
describing a DMA transfer (DMA_Cntl, DMA_Addr and DMA_Next). When the DMA_MAC fetches a
Descriptor it loads this three values into its own corresponding registers.
The last word is to be used by the DMA_MAC to report the transfer status.
6.5.2 The Descriptor control bits
The Descriptor keeps information about a single frame transfer and how to access the next Descriptor.
The following discussion is related to 3 bits of the Descriptor: the VALID bit, the NXT_EN bit and the
NPOL_EN bit.
The Descriptor can be accessed simultaneously by the CPU and the DMA_MAC. This concurrent access
is synchronized by the VALID bit in the DMA_Cntl register. When the VALID bit is equal to 0 then the
CPU is the owner of the Descriptor. Otherwise the owner is the DMA_MAC. Since the Descriptor can be
accessed in write mode by the owner only at any time, race conditions are guaranteed to never happen.
The NXT_EN bit enables the fetch of the Next Descriptor. When the DMA_MAC finds this bit set to 0 then
its activity is considered to be completed as soon as the current descriptor DMA transfers have been
completed.
The NPOL_EN bit enables the DMA_MAC to keep polling for a non-valid Descriptor until its VALID bit is
set to one. When the DMA_MAC finds both the NPOL_EN bit and the VALID bit set to 0 then its activity is
considered to be completed.
23/81
STLC1502
6.5.3 Transfer interrupts
The DMA_MAC can interrupt the CPU with three different levels of information about transfer completion.
The CPU can choose which interrupt needs to be enabled. They do not exclude each other though; they
can be all three enabled at the same time.
The TX_CURR_DONE (RX_CURR_DONE) interrupt bit reports the CPU when a single Descriptor (i.e.
one frame) has been completely treated by the DMA_MAC and the CPU is again the owner (VALID bit
set to 0).
The TX_NEXT (RX_NEXT) interrupt bit is set when next descriptor fetch is enabled (NXT_EN=1 in the
current descriptor) the next Descriptor is not valid (VALID bit is off).
The TX_DONE (RX_DONE) interrupt bit is set when a whole DMA transfer is complete. This can happen
either when the current is the last Descriptor in the chain (NXT_EN is off) or when the next Descriptor is
not valid yet (VALID bit is off) and the polling is disabled (NPOL_EN bit is off).
6.5.4 Frames transmission (TX)
When the CPU wants to transmit a set of frames on the cable, it needs to provide the DMA_MAC with a
Descriptor list. The CPU is expected to allocate a Descriptor for each frame it wants to send, to fill it with
the DMA control information and the pointer to the frame, and to link the Descriptor in the chain. The
frames will be sent on the cable in the same order they are found in the chain.
6.5.6 Open list approach
The simplest way to construct a Descriptor chain is the open list approach. Every Descriptor but the last
one will have the DMA_Next field pointing to the next Descriptor in the chain, the NXT_EN bit and the
VALID bit on, the NPOL_EN bit on/off. The last Descriptor will be set in the same way except for the
NXT_EN bit (off) and the DMA_Next field (NULL).
•
•
•
The CPU starts the DMA activity loading the physical location of the first Descriptor into the DMA
Next register of the DMA_MAC and set the DMA Start register enable bit to on.
The DMA_MAC will then keep fetching the Descriptors one by one until it finds the NXT_EN bit of the
last Descriptor set to off. Every time it completes a Descriptor (frame) it saves the transfer status into
TxRx_Status, it turns the Descriptor VALID bit to off and raises the TX_CURR_DONE interrupt bit.
When the NXT_EN bit is found to be off, that means the DMA_MAC has fetched the last Descriptor in
the chain. When it completes also this Descriptor (the end of the DMA transfer) it raises both the
TX_CURR_DONE and the TX_DONE interrupt bits.
6.5.7 Closed list approach
The approach above is easy since it doesn’t require the DMA_MAC and the CPU to synchronize their access to the Descriptor chain. The problem is that it requires the CPU to build the list every time it needs a
transfer.
A faster way to operate is building a closed Descriptor list only the first time and using the VALID bit to
mark the end of the transfer. The polling facility could also be used to save the CPU from the activity of
programming the DMA Start register every time it needs to start the DMA transfer. Instead, the DMA Start
register will be activated only once and the DMA_MAC will keep polling the invalid descriptor, raising
each time the TX_NEXT interrupt bit (if enabled), until the CPU finally sets its VALID bit to on. Since the
DMA transfer practically never ends, note that in this case the TX_DONE interrupt bit is never raised.
24/81
STLC1502
With this approach every Descriptor will have the DMA_Next field pointing to the next Descriptor in the
chain (the last one will point to the first one), the NXT_EN bit, the VALID bit and the NPOL_EN bit on.
The DMA_MAC will keep fetching the Descriptors one by one until it finds one with its VALID bit set to off.
Every time the DMA_MAC completes a Descriptor (frame) it saves the transfer status into TxRx_Status,
it turns its VALID bit to off and raises the TX_CURR_DONE interrupt bit.
6.5.8 Frames reception (RX)
The frame reception process is something that needs to be activated at the beginning and kept always
running. For this reason the closed Descriptor list (see above) is much more useful than the open list
approach.
Again, with this approach every Descriptor will have the DMA_Next field pointing to the next Descriptor in
the chain (the last one will point to the first one), the NXT_EN bit, the VALID bit and the NPOL_EN bit on.
The CPU starts the transfer activity loading the DMA Next register of the DMA_MAC with the physical
location of the first Descriptor and set the DMA Start register enable bit to on.The DMA_MAC will start
fetching the Descriptors one by one, driven by the frames reception from the line. Every time the
DMA_MAC completes a Descriptor (frame) it saves the transfer status into TxRx_Status, it turns its
VALID bit to off and raises the TX_CURR_DONE interrupt bit.
Eventually, the DMA_MAC will be faster than the CPU, it will wrap around the Descriptor chain and find a
Descriptor still invalid.
Then the DMA_CNT keeps polling the invalid descriptor, raising each time the TX_NEXT interrupt bit (if
enabled), until some Descriptor gets available (note that in this case some frame could be lost). In the
meantime the CPU should consume the frames received and set the VALID bit to on of all the Descriptor
released.
As soon as the DMA_CNT finds the Descriptor valid again, it will be able to complete the transfer and to
fetch the next Descriptor.

6.6 Arbiter
The arbiter is used to ensure that, at any point in time, only one master has access to the bus. It performs this
function by observing all of the bus master requests to use the bus, and deciding which is currently the highest
priority. It has a standard interface to all bus masters and split-capable slaves in the system. However it does
not support SPLIT bus transfers.
A bus master may request the bus during any cycle by setting its HBUSREQ output HIGH. This is then sampled
by the arbiter on the rising edge of the clock, and passed through the priority algorithm to decide which master
will have access to the bus during the next cycle. The HGRANT then outputs change to indicate which master
currently is granted control of the bus.
The HLOCK signals may be used to ensure that during an indivisible transfer, the current grant outputs do not
change. HLOCK must be asserted at least one cycle before the locked transfer to prevent the arbiter from
changing the grant signals. When more than one master requests ownership of the system bus, the priority used
for arbitration is:
• Highest: TIC
• Printer Drive Control
• DMA Controller
• Lowest: ARM7TDMI (default master)
The ARM7TDMI will periodically assume top priority on the system bus: this period can be programmed. Also,
it will assume top priority when an interrupt occurs, if the interrupt mode is enabled. During reset, and when no
other masters are requesting control of the bus, the ARM7TDMI is selected as the currently granted master.
This minimizes the delay required for the core to perform a transfer on the bus, as it does not have to wait to be
granted control of the bus before it can start a new transfer.
The system also requires a default master, which is selected when no masters are granted control of the bus,
for example, when all system bus masters are waiting for split transfers to complete. The default master performs IDLE transfers while it is granted control of the bus. The bus grant outputs may change while HREADY
is LOW, but the newly granted master may only drive the bus when the current transfer has completed. This
requires that bus masters only drive the bus after they detect that both their HGRANT and HREADY inputs are
set HIGH.
All registers used in the system are clocked from the rising edge of the system clock HCLK, and use the asynchronous reset HRESETn. The arbiter control and status registers are accessed via the APB bus.

6.7 TIC-Test Interface Controller
The Test Interface Controller (TIC) is a state machine that provides an AMBA AHB bus master for system test.
It reads test write and address data from the external data bus TESTBUS (XD), and uses the External Bus Interface (part of the DRAM Controller) to drive the external bus with test read data, allowing the use of only one
set of output tristate buffers onto TESTBUS.
The TIC is used to convert externally applied test vectors into internal transfers on the AHB bus. A three-wire
external handshake protocol is used, with two inputs controlling the type of vector that is applied and a single
output that indicates when the next vector can be applied. Typically the TIC is the highest priority AMBA bus
master, which ensures test access under all conditions. The TIC model supports address incrementing and control vectors. This means that the address for burst transfers can automatically be generated by the TIC.
6.8 AHB-ASB bridge
The APB bridge is the only bus master on the Advanced Peripheral Bus. In fact, the APB bridge is also a slave
on the AHB. The bridge unit converts ASB transfers into APB transfers. On the APB bus only 16 bits wide data
accesses are permitted. 32 bit wide and 8 bit wide transfers are not supported. All the APB peripherals decodes
all the 16 bits of the PA bus.
APB decoder space
PA(15:0)
APB decoding scheme
Every area is 128k x 16 bits but the area actually available is 32k x 16 due to the fact that the address lines on
the APB bus are 16 (PA(15:0)). That means that in every area dedicated to the several block on the APB bus
only the first FFFF is usable.
7.0 APB bus
The APB bus is a 16 bits data and 16 bits address bus. The blocks attached on this bus are described in the
following sections while the memory area is reported in the following figure.
All the addresses in the APB space are word aligned (addresses are multiples of four)

This implementation consists of two major sections comprising:
• All the control logic
• Two instantiations of the free-running counters (FRCs)
The timer module has a series of memory-mapped locations that allow the state of the timer module to be read
from and written to via the APB.
7.1.1 Timer introduction
Two timers are defined and can be selected by the Control register:
• Free-running mode:The timer wraps after reaching its zero value, and continues to count down from
the maximum value.
• Periodic timer mode:The counter generates an interrupt at a constant interval.
7.1.2 Timer operation
The timer is loaded by writing to the load register and, if enabled, counts down to zero. When zero is reached,
an interrupt is generated. The interrupt may be cleared by writing to the Clear register.
After reaching a zero count, if the timer is operating in free-running mode it continues to decrement from its maximum value. If periodic timer mode is selected, the timer reloads from the load register and continues to decrement. In this mode the timer effectively generates a periodic interrupt. The mode is selected by a bit in the
Control register.
At any point, the current timer value may be read from the Value register.
The timer is enabled by a bit in the control register. At reset, the timer is disabled, the interrupt is cleared and
the Load register is undefined. The mode and prescale values are also undefined.

7.2 Watchdog Timer
STLC1502 contains a Watchdog timer. This timer is used to reset the ARM7 in case of a software deadlock.
The watchdog timer generates a hot reset when it overflows which will restart the ARM, but the code will
not be downloaded again. The timer should be cleared by the software before it overflows.
It is based on a 8 bit counter which is clocked by a slow signal coming from a 17 bit prescaler clocked by
the system clock.
So the elapsing time of the watchdog timer depend on the system clock:
SYS_CLK:
13MHz => 2.58 seconds
26MHz => 1.29 seconds
39MHz => 0.86 seconds
52MHz => 0.64 seconds
This peripheral consists of a timer that continue to run and to reset the core if the software doesn’ t clear
it before it elapses. The software can clear or disable the timer by writing the WDOG_CONTROL register

7.4 Interrupt Controller
In an ARM system, two levels of interrupt are available:
• FIQ (Fast Interrupt Request) for fast, low latency interrupt handling
• IRQ (Interrupt Request) for more general interrupts
Ideally, in an ARM system, only a single FIQ source would be in use at any particular time. This provides a true
low-latency interrupt, because a single source ensures that the interrupt service routine may be executed directly without the need to determine the source of the interrupt. It also reduces the interrupt latency because the
extra banked registers, which are available for FIQ interrupts, may be used to maximum efficiency by preventing
the need for a context save.
Separate interrupt controllers are used for FIQ and IRQ.
There are 15 interrupt causes available in the IRQ controller coming from:
• Software (internally generated)
• Timer1

Timer3
Even if only a single bit position is defined for FIQ, the interrupt controller can drive one of the interrupt source
(IRQ interrupt sources), through a register, in order to generate the FIQ interrupt.
The IRQ interrupt controller uses a bit position for each different interrupt source.
All interrupt source inputs must be active HIGH and level sensitive and it remain active until the interrupt cause
has been cancelled.
No hardware priority scheme nor any form of interrupt vectoring is provided, because these functions can be
provided in software.
A programmed interrupt register is also provided to generate an interrupt under software control.
Every interrupt source can be masked.
7.4.1 Interrupt control
The IRQ interrupt management is done as described in the following:
• An interrupt is generated by a given device/source;
• This cause is readable by the IRQRawStatus register;
• If not masked (the mask is set by IRQEnableSet and reset by IRQEnableClear), this interrupt will
generate a IRQ signal to the ARM and the interrupt source will be known by a read of the IRQStatus
register.
• The ARM will serve the IRQ reading at first in the IRQStatus the active interrupt requests and will
execute with a given priority the proper interrupt routine. Every routine must erase (quite soon) in
some way its interrupt request source. This causes also for the proper bit in the IRQRawStatus register and in the IRQStatus register to disappear.
The same interlock is present for the FIQ interrupt.

7.5 SPI-Serial Peripheral Interface
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows full-duplex, synchronous, serial communication with external
devices. An SPI system may consist of a master and one or more slaves or a system in which devices
may be either masters or slaves.
The SPI is normally used for communication between the microcontroller and external peripherals.
7.5.1 Main Features
• Full duplex, three-wire synchronous transfers
• Master mode operation (clock generation)
• Four master mode frequencies
• Four programmable master bit rates
• Programmable clock polarity and phase
• End of transfer interrupt flag
• Write collision flag protection
• Master mode fault protection capability.
The SPI is connected to external devices through 3 pins:
SMI: Master In
SMO: Master Out
SCK: Serial Clock pin
41/81
STLC1502
When the master device transmits data to a slave device via SMO pin, the slave device responds by sending data to the master device to the SMI. This implies full duplex transmission with both data out and data
in synchronized with the same clock signal (which is provided by the master device via the SCK pin).
Thus, the byte transmitted is replaced by the byte received and eliminates the need for separate transmitempty and receiver-full bits. A status flag is used to indicate that the I/O operation is complete.
The MSB is transmitted first.
Four possible data/clock timing relationships may be chosen.
7.5.2 Programming procedure
The SPI interface contains 3 dedicated registers:
• A Control Register (CR)
• A Status Register (SR)
• A Data Register (DR)
Check the register description section for bits position and functions.
Select the SPR0 & SPR1 bits to define the serial clock baud rate.
Select the CPOL and CPHA bits to define one of the four relationships between the data transfer and the
serial clock.
The transmit sequence begins when a byte is written in the DR register. The data byte is parallely loaded
into the 8-bit shift register (from the internal bus) during a write cycle and then shifted out serially to the
SMO pin most significant bit first. When data transfer is complete:
The SPIF bit is set by hardware
.An interrupt is generated if the SPIE bit is set and the I bit in the CCR register is cleared.
During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is set, a copy of the data byte received in the shift register
is moved to a buffer. When the DR register is read, the SPI peripheral returns this buffered value.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following software sequence:
1. An access to the SR register while the SPIF bit is set
2. A read to the DR register.
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the DR register are inhibited until the SR register is read.
7.5.3 Data Transfer Format
During an SPI transfer, data is simultaneously transmitted (shifted out serially) and received (shifted in serially). The serial clock is used to synchronize the data transfer during a sequence of eight clock pulses.
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits.
The CPOL (clock polarity) bit controls the steady state value of the clock when no data is being transferred.
The combination between the CPOL and CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data capture clock edge.
The master device applies data to its SMO pin before the capture clock edge.
CPHA bit is set:
The second edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if the CPOL bit is reset, rising edge if the CPOL bit is set)
is the MSBit capture strobe. Data is latched on the occurrence of the second clock transition.
CPHA bit is reset
The first edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if CPOL bit is set, rising edge if CPOL bit is reset) is the MSBit
capture strobe. Data is latched on the occurrence of the first clock transition.
The slave select signal is necessary in case more than one slave devices are connected on the seral bus.
The slave select can be generated with a GPIO pin.
42/81
STLC1502
7.5.4 Collision management
Collision is defined as a write of the DR register while the internal serial clock (SCK) is in the process of
transfer. The WCOL bit in the SR register is set if a write collision occurs. No SPI interrupt is generated
when the WCOL bit is set (the WCOL bit is a status flag only). Clearing the WCOL bit is done through a
software sequence:
1-Read SR
2-Read DR

7.6 I2C bus interface
The I2C Bus Interface serves as an interface between the microcontroller and the serial I2C bus. It provides both multimaster and slave functions, and controls all I2C bus-specific sequencing, protocol, arbitration and timing. It supports fast I2C mode (400kHz).
7.6.1 Main Features
• Parallel-bus/I2C protocol converter
• Multi-master capability
• 7-bit/10-bit Addressing
• Transmitter/Receiver flag
• End-of-byte transmission flag
• Transfer problem detection
I2C Master Features:
• Clock generation
• I2C bus busy flag
• Arbitration Lost Flag
• End of byte transmission flag
• Transmitter/Receiver Flag
• Start bit detection flag
• Start and Stop generation
I2C Slave Features:
• Stop bit detection
• I2C bus busy flag
• Detection of misplaced start or stop condition
• Programmable I2C Address detection
• Transfer problem detection
• End-of-byte transmission flag
• Transmitter/Receiver flag
7.6.2 General Description
In addition to receiving and transmitting data, this interface converts it from serial to parallel format and
vice versa, using either an interrupt or polled by software. The interface is connected to the I2C bus by a
data pin (SDAI) and by a clock pin (SCLI). It can be connected both with a standard I2C bus and a Fast
I2C bus. This selection is made by software.
The interface can operate in the following modes:
– Slave transmitter/receiver
– Master transmitter/receiver
44/81
STLC1502
By default, it operates in slave mode. The interface automatically switches from slave to master after it
generates a START condition and from master to slave in case of arbitration loss or a STOP generation,
allowing then Multi-Master capability.
In Master mode, it initiates a data transfer and generates the clock signal. A serial data transfer always
begins with a start condition and ends with a stop condition. Both start and stop conditions are generated
in master mode by software.
In Slave mode, the interface is capable of recognizing its own address (7 or 10 bits), and the General Call
address. The General Call address detection may be enabled or disabled by software.
Data and addresses are transferred as 8-bit bytes, MSB first. The first byte(s) following the start condition
contain the address (one in 7-bit mode, two in 10-bit mode). The address is always transmitted in Master
mode. A 9th clock pulse follows the 8 clock cycles of a byte transfer, during which the receiver must send
an acknowledge bit to the transmitter.
•
•
•
•
•
Acknowledge may be enabled and disabled by software. The I 2 C interface address and/or general
call address can be selected by software. The speed of the I 2 C interface may be selected between
Standard (0-100KHz) and Fast I2C (100-400KHz).
In transmitter mode the interface holds the clock in low before transmission to wait for the microcontroller to write the byte in the Data Register.
In receiver mode: the interface holds the clock line low after reception to wait for the microcontroller
to read the byte in the Data Register.
The SCL frequency (Fscl) is controlled by a programmable clock divider which depends on the I 2 C
bus mode.
When the I2C cell is enabled, the SDA and SCL ports must be configured as floating inputs. In this
case, the value of the external pull-up resistor used depends on the application.
7.6.3 Functional Description
Refer to the CR, SR1 and SR2 registers in register map section for the bit definitions.
By default the I 2 C interface operates in Slave mode (M/SL bit is cleared) except when it initiates a transmit or receive sequence. First the interface frequency must be configured using the FRi bits in the OAR2
register.
7.6.3.1 Slave mode
As soon as a start condition is detected, the address is received from the SDA line and sent to the shift
register; then it is compared with the address of the interface or the General Call address (if selected by
45/81
STLC1502
software).
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, the comparison includes the header sequence (11110xx0) and the two
most significant bits of the address.
•
•
•
Header matched (10-bit mode only): the interface generates an acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit
is set.
Address not matched: the interface ignores it and waits for another Start condition.
Address matched: the interface generates in sequence:
• Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set.
• EVFand ADSL bits are set with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 register, holding the SCL line low. Next, read the DR register to
determine from the least significant bit (Data Direction Bit) if the slave must enter Receiver or Transmitter mode.
In 10-bit mode, after receiving the address sequence the slave is always in receive mode. It will enter transmit
mode on receiving a repeated Start condition followed by the header sequence with matching address bits and
the least significant bit set (11110xx1).
Slave Receiver
After the address reception and SR1 register has been read, the slave receives bytes from the SDA line
into the DR register via the internal shift register. After each byte the interface generates in sequence:
– Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
– EVF and BTF bits are set with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a read of the DR register, holding the
SCL line low.
Slave Transmitter
After the address reception and the SR1 register has been read, the slave sends bytes from the DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift register. The slave waits for a read of the SR1 register followed
by a write in the DR register, holding the SCL line low.
When the acknowledge pulse is received:
– The EVF and BTF bits are set by hardware with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Closing slave communication
After the last data byte is transferred a Stop Condition is generated by the master. The interface detects
this condition and sets:
– EVF and STOPF bits with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.Then the interface waits for a read of the SR2
register
Error Cases
– BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition during a byte transfer. In this case, the EVF and the
BERR bits are set with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set. If it is a Stop then the interface discards the data,
released the lines and waits for another Start condition. If it is a Start then the interface discards the data
and waits for the next slave address on the bus.
– AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this case, the EVF and AF bits are set with an interrupt if the
ITE bit is set.
Note: In both cases, SCL line is not held low; however, SDA line can remain low due to possible «0» bits
transmitted last. It is then necessary to release both lines by software.
How to release the SDA / SCL lines:
• Set and subsequently clear the STOP bit while BTF is set.
46/81
STLC1502
•
The SDA/SCL lines are released after the transfer of the current byte.
7.6.3.2 Master Mode
To switch from default Slave mode to Master mode a Start condition generation is needed.
Start condition
Setting the START bit while the BUSY bit is cleared causes the interface to switch to Master mode (M/SL
bit set) and generates a Start condition. Once the Start condition is sent:
– The EVF and SB bits are set by hardware with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR register with the Slave
address, holding the SCL line low.
Slave address transmission
The slave address is then sent to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
In 7-bit addressing mode, one address byte is sent.
In 10-bit addressing mode, sending the first byte including the header sequence causes the following
event:
– The EVF bit is set by hardware with interrupt generation if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR register, holding the
SCL line low. The second address byte is then sent by the interface. After completion of this transfer (and
acknowledge from the slave if the ACK bit is set):
– The EVF bit is set by hardware with interrupt generation if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the CR register (for example
set PE bit), holding the SCL line low. Next the master must enter Receiver or Transmitter mode.
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, to switch the master to Receiver mode, software must generate a
repeated Start condition and resend the header sequence with the least significant bit set (11110xx1).
Master Receiver
After the address transmission and SR1 and CR registers have been accessed, the master receives
bytes from the SDA line into the DR register via the internal shift register. After each byte the interface
generates in sequence:
– Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
– EVFand BTF bits are set by hardware with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a read of the DR register, holding the
SCL line low. To close the communication: before reading the last byte from the DR register, set the
STOP bit to generate the Stop condition. The interface goes automatically back to slave mode (M/SL bit
cleared).
Note: In order to generate the non-acknowledge pulse after the last received data byte, the ACK bit must
be cleared just before reading the second last data byte.
Master Transmitter
After the address transmission and SR1 register has been read, the master sends bytes from the DR
register to the SDA line via the internal shift register. The master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR register, holding the SCL line low. When the acknowledge bit is received, the
interface sets:
– EVF and BTF bits with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
To close the communication: after writing the last byte to the DR register, set the STOP bit to generate
the Stop condition. The interface goes automatically back to slave mode (M/SL bit cleared).
47/81
STLC1502
Error Cases
• BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition during a byte transfer. In this case, the EVF and
BERR bits are set by hardware with an interrupt if ITE is set.
• AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this case, the EVF and AF bits are set by hardware with
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set. To resume, set the START or STOP bit.
• ARLO: Detection of an arbitration lost condition. In this case the ARLO bit is set by hardware (with an
interrupt if the ITE bit is set and the interface goes automatically back to slave mode (the M/SL bit is
cleared).
Note: In all these cases, the SCL line is not held low; however, the SDA line can remain low due to possible «0» bits transmitted last. It is then necessary to release both lines by software.

7.7 UART-Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
The UART provides a serial data communication with transmit and receive channels that can operate
concurrently to handle a full-duplex operation. Two internal FIFOs for transmitted and received data,
deep 16 and wide 8 bits, are present; these FIFOs can be enabled or disabled through a register. Interrupts are provided to control reception and transmission of serial data.
The clock for both transmit and receive channels is provided by an internal baud rate generator that
divides its input clock by any divisor value from 1 to 2 16 - 1.
7.7.1 Operation
The UART supports full-duplex asynchronous communication, where both the transmitter and the
receiver use the same data frame format and the same baud rate. Data is transmitted on the TXD pin and
received on the RXD pin.
Data frames
8-bit data frames either consist of:
• eight data bits D0-7 (by setting the Mode bit field to 001);
• seven data bits D0-6 plus an automatically generated parity bit (by setting the Mode bit field to 011).
Parity may be odd or even, depending on the ParityOdd bit in the ASCControl register. An even parity bit
will be set, if the modulo-2-sum of the seven data bits is 1. An odd parity bit will be cleared in this case.
The parity error flag (ParityError) will be set if a wrong parity bit is received. The parity bit itself will be
stored in bit 7 of the ASCRx-Buffer register.

9-bit data frames either consist of:

• eight data bits D0-7 plus an automatically generated parity bit (by setting the Mode bit field to 111)
• eight data bits D0-7 plus a wake-up bit (by setting the Mode bit field to 101)
49/81
STLC1502
Parity may be odd or even, depending on the ParityOdd bit in the ASCControl register. An even parity bit
will be set, if the modulo-2-sum of the eight data bits is 1. An odd parity bit will be cleared in this case.
The parity error flag (ParityError) will be set if a wrong parity bit is received. The parity bit itself will be
stored in bit 8 of the ASCRx-Buffer register.
In wake-up mode, received frames are only transferred to the receive buffer register if the ninth bit (the
wake-up bit) is 1. If this bit is 0, no receive interrupt request will be activated and no data will be transferred. This feature may be used to control communication in multi-processor systems. When the master
processor wants to transmit a block of data to one of several slaves, it first sends out an address byte
which identifies the target slave. An address byte differs from a data byte in that the additional ninth bit is
a 1 for an address byte and a 0 for a data byte, so no slave will be interrupted by a data byte. An address
byte will interrupt all slaves (operating in 8-bit data + wake-up bit mode), so each slave can examine the
8 least significant bits (LSBs) of the received character (the address). The addressed slave will switch to
9-bit data mode, which enables it to receive the data bytes that will be coming (with the wake-up bit
cleared). The slaves that are not being addressed remain in 8-bit data + wake-up bit mode, ignoring the
following data bytes.

7.7.2 Baud rate generation
The UART has its own dedicated 16-bit baud rate generator with 16-bit reload capability.
The baud rate generator is clocked with the CPU clock. The timer counts downwards and can be started
or stopped by the Run bit in the ASCControl register. Each under-flow of the timer provides one clock
pulse. The timer is reloaded with the value stored in its 16-bit reload register each time it underflows. The
ASCBaudRate register is the dual-function baud rate generator/reload register. A read from this register
returns the content of the timer; writing to it updates the reload register. An auto-reload of the timer with
the content of the reload register is performed each time the ASCBaudRate register is written to. However, if the Run bit is 0 at the time the write operation to the ASCBaudRate register is performed, the
timer will not be reloaded until the first CPU clock cycle after the Run bit is 1.
The baud rate generator provides a clock at 16 times the baud rate. The baud rate and the required
reload value for a given baud rate can be determined by the following formula:
Baudrate = fCPU/(16 *ASCBaudRate)
7.7.3 The timeout interrupt
A timeout counter register provides timeout interrupt on the receive path.
Whenever the rxfifo has got something in it, the timeout counter will decrement until something happens
50/81
STLC1502
to the rxfifo. If nothing happens, and the timeout counter reaches zero, the ASCStatus(TimeoutNotEmpty) flag will be set. Provided ASCIntEnable(TimeoutNotEmpty) is set, this will cause an interrupt.
When the software has emptied the rxfifo, the timeout counter will reset and start decrementing. If no
more characters arrive, when the counter reaches zero the ASCStatus(TimeoutIdle) flag will be set. Provided the ASCIntEnable(TimeoutIdle) is set, per_interrupt will fire.
7.7.4 Interrupt control
The UART contains two registers that are used to control interrupts, the status register (ASCStatus) and
the interrupt enable register (ASCIntEnable). The status bits in the ASCStatus register determine the
cause of the interrupt. Interrupts will occur when a status bit is 1 (high) and the corresponding bit in the
ASCIntEnable register is 1.
The error interrupt signal is generated by the UART from the OR of the parity error, framing error, and
overrun error status bits after they have been ANDed with the corresponding enable bits in the ASCIntEnable register. An overall interrupt request signal (per_interrupt) is generated from the OR of the Error
Interrupt signal and the TxEmpty, TxHalfEmpty, RxHalfFull, RxBufFull signals.
Note: TxFull does not generate interrupt.
The status register cannot be written directly by software. The reset mechanism for the status register is
described below.
• TxEmpty, TxHalfEmpty are reset when a character is written to the transmitter buffer.
• TxFull is reset when a character is transmitted
• RxBufFull and OverrunError are reset when a character is read from the receive Fifo.
• The data error status bits (ParityError, FrameError) are reset when the character with error is read
from the receive Fifo.

7.8 GPIO/Keypad encoder
The GPIO block is available as a cell that controls 20 input/output pins. The block includes a key scanning
encoder. The encoder function is an alternative to the use of 12 I/O pins. The 12 pins are organized as a
6X6 matrix providing an interface to a 36 key keyboard. 16 pins are also multiplexed with the HPI external
interface. The HPI interface is selected by external pin HPISEL. Two pins GPIO18, GPIO19 are direct interrupt sources in the interrupt register when programmed as inputs.
The pin description of the GPIO pins can be found in the Pin Description Table in Section 4.1.
7.8.1 GPIO operation mode
The GPIO operation mode is the Parallel Port mode.
Each of the 20 signals may be programmed as an input or an output through a set up register. Once programmed, each pin maintains its identity as an input or output. Voltages are standard process port levels,
0 and 3.3 volts. The on chip ARM processor may read or write to the port at any time.
7.8.2 Keyboard operation mode
The keyboard may contain up to 36 keys. Twelve (12) port pins provide a 6x6 scanning matrix. Six of the
pins are strobes and six of the pins are inputs. The application circuitry will provide small series resistors
to prevent electrostatic damage to the port pins.
The circuitry will scan the keys at a rate of 10, 20, 40 or 80 msecs, controlled by the software. Two successive cycles are needed to validate a key. Only one key will be allowed down in a scan cycle. Once
validated as being down, the "no key down" condition must be validated for two complete cycles when the
key is released. Every valid key condition will cause the value of the key to be written to a register and
an interrupt shall be set. Two key rollover will not be supported unless the solution is easier to implement
than the method described above.

7.9 HPI
The HPI is dual port SRAM based, with control that generates an interrupt when a message is sent. The DPRAM
is implemented on chip and has a message buffer size of 256 bytes for each direction. Input buffer is used for
messages from Host Processor to Stradivarius. Output buffer is used for messages from Stradivarius to Host
Processor.
• The external bus interface of the HPI is compatible with Motorola MPC850 network processor. The
data bus width is 8 bits.
• A status register, an index register (for the host processor), an interrupt mask register, and a message buffer are required for both input and output transactions.
• The Input Status Register (ISR) is set by the Host Processor by writing 0x01 and cleared by writing
0x00 to the location. It is cleared by ARM by writing anything to it.
• The Output Status Registers (OSR) is set by the ARM by writing 0x01 and cleared by writing 0x00. It
is cleared by the Host Processor by writing anything to it.
• The Input and Output Index Registers (IIR & OIR respectively) are reset to their starting value by writing 0x00 to their respective addresses. They can also be cleared by the Host Processor by writing
anything to them.
• The Input Interrupt Mask Register (IIM) resets to 0x00, causing the Mask to be set (active low). This
means that before the ARM can receive message ready interrupts from the Host Processor, this register must be written with 0x0001 (by ARM) to unmask the interrupt.
• The Output Interrupt Mask Register (OIM) resets to 0x00, causing the Mask to be set (active low).
This means that before the Host Processor can receive message ready interrupts from the ARM, this
register must be written with 0x01 (by the Host Processor) to unmask the interrupt.
• The Input and Output Message buffers are each 256 bytes long and 1 byte wide (an overflow in the
index register will not write to the other message buffer, but will start to overwrite the current message buffer).
• Addressing of the Input and Output Message Buffers by the Host Processor is implemented indirectly
via the Input and Output Index Registers. An external interrupt signal is generated when the output
status register is set by the ARM7. An ARM7 interrupt signal is generated when the input status register is set by the Host Processor.
7.9.1 Send Message from Host Processor to ARM
• Read Input Status Register. If h01, the ARM has not read out the last message. If 0x00, the ARM has
read the last message and the Input Message Buffer is available for use.
• Clear Input Index Reg by writing any value to its address (b.100).
• Write message into Input Message Buffer by consecutively writing to its address (b.111). Each write
will cause the Input Index Register to increment by 1 and access another byte location.
• Write 0x01 to Input Status Register (address b.011) to interrupt the ARM
53/81
STLC1502
7.9.2 Receive Message from ARM by Host Processor
After receiving interrupt from ARM:
• Clear Output Index Register (address b.001) by writing any value.
• Read message from Output Message Buffer by consecutively reading from its address (b.110). Each
read will cause the Output Index Register to increment by 1 and access another byte location.
• Clear the Output Status Reg (address b.000) by writing any value (the ARM can clear the OSR by
writing 0 to it).
7.9.3 Send Message from ARM to Host Processor
• Read Output Status Register. If h0001, the HP has not read out the last message. If 0x0000, the HP
has read the last message and the Output Message Buffer is available for use.
• Write message into Output Message Buffer. This buffer is directly addressable by the ARM.
• Write 0x0001 to Output Status Register to interrupt the HP
7.9.4 Receive Message from Host Processor by ARM
After receiving interrupt from HP:
• Read message from Input Message Buffer.This buffer is directly addressable by the ARM.
• Clear the Input Status Reg by writing 0x0001 to its address (the HP can clear the ISR by writing 0 to
it).

7.10 Dual Port SRAM
A dual port SRAM 4096x16 connected between the APB bus and the X bus of the D950 domain, is used as a
mailbox between the ARM7 and the D950. The DPRAM can be written/read everywhere by both the ARM and
the D950. The DPRAM bank has two status sections consisting of 32, 16 bits memory locations, and a message
section consisting 4064 16 bit memory locations.
There are 4 hardware registers: ARM and D950 mailbox mask registers and ARM and D950 mailbox registers.
• Mailbox registers: the writing of any value in a STATUS location will set the corresponding bit in the
MAILBOX to 1. This will generate an interrupt if the corresponding mailbox MASK register bit is set to
1, and won’t if the bit is set to 0. Reading a STATUS location will clear the corresponding bit in the
MAILBOX to 0. (note: Only the ARM can clear the D950 mailbox on a read, and only the D950 can
clear the ARM mailbox on a read. Likewise only the ARM can set the ARM Mailbox bits by writing to
the ARM STATUS registers, and only the D950 can set the D950 Mailbox by writing to the D950 STATUS registers).
• Mailbox MASK registers: writing 0 in a bit location will allow the STATUS location to set the corresponding bit in the MAILBOX, but will mask out the generation of an interrupt. The Mailbox MASK
registers are both reset to all 0’s, so, by default, no interrupts will be generated.
7.10.1 DPRAM protocol
There can be up to 16 different communication channels that the D950 and the ARM can use to exchange messages between them. The allocation of the 4064 addressable message buffers locations in the DPRAM is completely under the programmer’s control. There is no intervention by the hardware on the DPRAM other than use
the first 32 locations to set and clear the MAILBOX registers and ultimately generate interrupts. A software protocol must be established in advance to safely pass messages.
Every time one of the two devices wants to write or receive a message, it should follow the example protocol
55/81
STLC1502
here below, where the D950 sends a message to the ARM. The same apply in the reverse direction with ARM
and D950 side swapped.
• The D950 reads the D950 MAILBOX register bit corresponding to the channel it wants use for the
message. If it is set to 1, the previous message has not been read by the ARM and the channel is not
available. If the content of that bit is 0, then the D950 can write the message for the ARM into the
appropriate section of the DPRAM
• The D950 writes any value in the appropriate D950_STATUS_X location (0<= X<= 15), indicating
that the message has just been put in the DPRAM. This will cause the corresponding bit in the D950
MAILBOX register to be set to 1.
• If the corresponding bit in the D950 Mailbox Mask register is set to 1, then an interrupt request for the
ARM will be generated. The interrupt line is the logical OR of all the unmasked bits in the D950 MAILBOX register.
• The ARM interrupt service routine will read the D950 MAILBOX register and compare this with the
D950 Mailbox MASK register to determine which channel caused the interrupt.
• The ARM reads the appropriate section of the DPRAM. When it has finished reading the message, it
reads the corresponding D950 STATUS location.
• This latest read clears the corresponding bit in the D950 MAILBOX register. If no other unmasked
bits are set in the D950 MAILBOX register, the ARM interrupt clears, otherwise remains set.
• Multiple channels can be used concurrently. It is up to the receiver to manage this eventuality. So the
DPRAM can be used to buffer the messages as it is processed, while other channels are still available for communication.

10.0 PCM Interface
The PCM interface is used to actually send and receive voice samples.
On the other side, the PCM Block has an interface to the D950 Xbus.
Moreover two other signals to feed the master clock and the hardware reset are present.

The PCM interface has 5 main signals:
• DR (output): this is the serial data stream that the PCM sends to the codec
• DX (input): this is the serial data stream sent by the codec and received by the PCM block
• PCLK (input/output): this is the PCM clock sent to codec. In the application, the frequency is
2.048Mhz. The PCM clock can be generated by the PCM block from internal Master clock or can be
input externally, according to the bit CLKEN in configuration register
• PFS (input/output): this signal is asserted high when the frame number zero is present on the serial
data stream; it is possible to program the codec so that the PCM block asserts this signal on a given
frame (FS). The same frame number is always present in the same time on DR and DX. The PFS
can be generated by division from PCLK or can be input externally, according to FSEN in the configuration register.
10.1 Miscellaneous Interface
This interface has two signals:
• RSTn (input): this is the hardware active low reset
• CLK (input): this is the master input clock coming from the external oscillator at 2.048Mhz in the current application.
10.2 Interrupt Event Management
There are two interrupt lines that goes to the D950.
• ITR3 line (Overrun)
• ITR7 line (Frame synch).

10.3 Clock Distribution
• The PCM block works at 2.048Mhz clock and it is a fully synchronous design at that frequency. No
gated clock, no latches are used.
• The design is able to support also higher PCM hierarchies such as 4.096Mhz and 8.196Mhz.
• The D950 interface works as a clock stage decoupling block. It can be accessed externally at 66Mhz,
while internally it works at 2.048Mhz.
10.4 Reset Distribution and Configuration
• The PCM block has an explicit active low reset pin controlled by ARM.
• A software reset is implemented in the PCM_CONFIGURATION register at the address 0x0002.
• In the PCM_CONFIGURATION register there is also a bit that configures the FPGA itself as linear or
PCM coding.
10.5 Data Flow Management
Per each direction the PCM block contains a double buffer used to store and forward the voice samples. This
has to be big enough to store all (four) voice samples coming (and going) from (to) the SLICs contained in one
PCM frame. Actually the number of bits per voice channel per PCM frame is 8 in case of PCM coding (A low or
u low) and 16 in case of linear coding. Other bits are used to provide information about the number of the logic
channel the frame is associated with.
So, it is necessary to have two memory banks per direction.
For example, in the upstream direction (from the codec to the D950), one bank is used to store the incoming
voice samples (on-line bank) and the other used to keep the voice samples received in the previous PCM frame
(off-line bank) while they are read by the D950. This mechanism is needed because the PCM flow is synchro-
69/81
STLC1502
nous and cannot be stopped.
The memory banks are swapped between them on PCM frame basis; so while the incoming information is written in the on-line memory, the D950 can read the information contained in the previous PCM frame from the offline memory bank. Every PCM frame (FS signal based) the on-line memory becomes off-line and viceversa.
This swap is transparent for the D950 so that the D950 sees the two memory banks located always at the same
addresses.
The same scheme in a different hardware block implements the memory buffer for the downstream flow (from
the D950 to the codec).
10.6 Basic Operation
The PCM block uses the reference clock to generate an internal time base. For example, it generates the FS
signal with the proper timing. Then an internal register has to store the association between the voice channel
(SLIC) and the PCM slots according to the configuration of the codec (DRA# and DXA# registers). The FS signal
is sent not only to the codec, but also to the D950 (through ITR7), in order to give it the proper timing reference.
So, between two subsequent FS signals, the D950 has to read back from the PCM block the voice samples of
the previous PCM frame and has to write in it the PCM samples of the several voice channels that the PCM
block itself will send to the codec in the following PCM frame.
So the ITR7 is an 8Khz interrupt signal that provides the timing reference to the D950.
10.7 PCM coding Voice Frame
This section describes the operation of the PCM block in case of PCM coding of the voice samples (LIN bit of
the codec CONF register set to 0x0). In this case each voice sample has 8 bits, plus 3 miscellaneous bits per
channel. So a total of 2 direction x 2 banks x 4 channels x 11 bits each (176 bits) are needed. This memory is
implemented internally in the PCM block.
The PCM_VOICE_FRAME_FROM_CODEC_x (x=0..3) and the PCM_VOICE_FRAME_TO_CODEC_x
(x=0..3) are used to store upstream and downstream voice channel x.
Selection between PCM and linear coding is done in the PCM_CONFIGURATION register
PCM Coding Upstream Basic Operation (from the codec to the D950)
The PCM voice samples coming from the codec are inserted in the on-line upstream memory. In the same PCM
slot, the D950 accesses at the off-line upstream memory through the PCM_VOICE_FRAME_FROM_CODEC_x
register connected to off-line memory. If during a PCM frame, the D950 left some unread voice data in the offline memory (in the meantime became on-line) an interrupt even is generated (OV_U bit of the
PCM_INTERRUPT register).
10.8 Linear coding Voice Frame
If the linear coding (LIN bit of the codec CONF register set to 0x1) is selected, each voice sample is coded as
a 16 bit two’s complement. This means that each voice channel takes two PCM slot to transport the voice information. For example, considering the channel x (x=0..3), for the upstream flow (voice sample from the codec to
the D950), the 8 most significant bits are transported in the PCM slot reported in the PCM_SLOT_UP field of
the PCM_SLOT_FROM_CODEC_x register while 8 less significant bits are transported in the following At reset
PCM_LIN_DATA_DOWN=0x0000.
x values: 0..3.
10.9 PCM Register List
This section reports the list of the PCM block registers in the D950 domain. The address is referred to the base
address where the PCM block is placed on. In other words, they are displacement addresses. The D950 cannot
