ColdFire V4 SPPC2 Processor Platform

Overview

The ColdFire V4 SPPC2 Processor Platform combines the ColdFire V4 Core with industry-proven platform peripherals to form a complete high-performance microcontroller subsystem supported by a vast ecosystem of development tools and runtime software. With the CFV4SPPC2, you
get:
• Performance—over 500 DMIPS at 345 MHz
• Reliability—from processor and peripheral IP already deployed
in millions of embedded systems worldwide
• Rapid time-to-market—in just a few hours you can be developing
software on your own FPGA implementation of the ColdFire V4 SPPC2 Processor Platform

Key Features

  • On-board peripherals and their features include:
  • FlexBus Controller
  • Connects up to 6 on-chip or off-chip memories/devices
  • Independently programmable transfer characteristics for each
  • device (wait states, address setup/hold)
  • Enhanced DMA (eDMA) Controller
  • 16 independently programmable DMA channels
  • Programmable channel arbitration modes
  • Support for channel linking and scatter/gather operation
  • Two Fast Ethernet Controllers, each of which provides
  • 10/100 Mbps Ethernet support
  • Half and full-duplex modes
  • Media Independent Interface (MII) or 7-wire interface to
  • Ethernet PHY
  • Interrupt Controller
  • 64 programmable interrupt sources, 7 of which are available
  • for external interrupts
  • Unique vector for each interrupt source
  • Support for low-power mode wake-up
  • Queued SPI (QSPI) module
  • Programmable queue for up to 16 SPI transfers
  • Four chip-select lines for up to 16 devices
  • Programmable baud rate, before-and-after transfer delays,
  • clock phase and polarity
  • I2C interface module
  • Support for the original Philips I2C bus protocol
  • Support for baud rates up to 3.4 Mbps
  • 3 UARTS
  • Programmable clock source, data formats, and modes
  • (normal/loopback)
  • Error detection
  • Four maskable interrupt conditions
  • 4 DMA Timer modules
  • Programmable clock source
  • Programmable prescaler
  • Programmable interrupt or DMA request upon timer event
  • Miscellaneous Control Module (MCM)
  • Software watchdog timer
  • Reset status, low-power mode control, and core fault status
  • registers

Benefits

  • The ColdFire V4 SPPC2 Processor Platformfeatures software-controlled shutdown of selected clocks to support a variety of chip-level low-power modes:
  • • Independent shutdown of selected peripheral clocks
  • • Shutdown of the ColdFire V4 Core CPU clock in response to a
  • ColdFire STOP instruction; the ColdFire V4 Core local SRAM
  • Controller clock may optionally be kept running in STOP mode to
  • support access to local SRAM from external AHB masters
