About the Single-Core Intel
®
81341 I/O Processor
The 81341 1-core is a single-PCI device that integrates an Intel XScale
®
processor with
intelligent peripherals including a PCI bus application bridge. The 81341 also supports
two internal busses: north internal bus and south internal bus. With the two internal
busses, transactions can take place simultaneously on each bus. The north internal bus
provides the Intel XScale
®
processor with low latency access to either the DDR SDRAM
Memory Controller, and the on-chip SRAM Memory Controller. Peripherals that generate
large burst transactions are located on the south internal bus, thus allowing the Intel
XScale
®
processor exclusive access to the north internal bus.
The 81341 1-core consolidates, into a single system:
• An Intel XScale
®
processor running at speed up to 1.5 GHz
• PCI - Local Memory Bus Address Translation Unit - PCI function 0
• Messaging Unit, PCI function 0
• Application Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controllers
• Peripheral Bus Interface Unit
• Integrated DDR2 Memory Controller
• Integrated SRAM Memory Controller
• Performance Monitor Unit (
PMON
)
• Two Programmable Timers on the Intel XScale
®
processor co-processor bus
• Watchdog Timer on the Intel XScale
®
processor co-processor bus
• Three I
2
C Bus Interface Units
• Two Serial Port Units
• Eight General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) ports
• Internal North Bus-South Bus Bridge
It is an integrated processor that addresses the needs of intelligent I/O Storage
applications and helps reduce intelligent I/O system costs.
The 81341 support both a PCI-X 2.0 and a PCI Express interface. The PCI Bus is an
industry standard, high performance, low latency system bus. The PCI Bus of the
81341 is capable of 133 MHz operation in PCI-X 2.0 mode as defined by the PCI-X
Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 1.0a. Also, the processor
supports a 66 MHz conventional PCI mode as defined by the PCI Local Bus
Specification, Revision 2.2. The addition of the Intel XScale
®
processors bring
intelligence to the PCI bus application bridge. The 81341 supports a x8 PCI Express
interface as defined in the PCI Express Specification, Revision 1.0.
The 81341 is a single-function PCI device at reset. The host programming interface is
presented as the Address Translation Unit (ATU) and the Messaging Unit (MU). The MU
provides the messaging interface between the host processor and the 81341.
Both the address and data busses on the 81341 south internal bus are byte-wise parity
protected.
