Cyclic redundancy checks management unit (CRC)
9.1.
Overview
A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital
networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to raw data.
This CRC management unit can be used to calculate 32 bit CRC code with fixed polynomial.
9.2.
Characteristics
◼
32-bit data input and 32-bit data output. Calculation period is 4 AHB clock cycles for 32-
bit input data size from data entered to the calculation result available.
◼
Free 8-bit register is unrelated to calculation and can be used for any other goals by any
other peripheral devices.
◼
Fixed polynomial: 0x4C11DB7
