Peripheral Logic Overview
1.4 Peripheral Logic Overview
The peripheral logic block integrates a PCI bridge, memory controller, DMA controller,
EPIC interrupt controller/timers, a message unit with an Intelligent Input/Output (I
2
O)
message controller, and an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2
C) controller. The integration reduces
the overall packaging requirements and the number of discrete devices required for an
embedded system.
Figure 1-6 shows the major functional units within the peripheral logic block. Note that this
is a conceptual block diagram intended to show the basic features rather than an attempt to
show how these features are physically implemented.

1.4.1 Peripheral Logic Features
Major features of the peripheral logic are as follows:
•
Peripheral logic bus
— Supports various operating frequencies and bus divider ratios
— 32-bit address bus, 64-bit data bus
— Supports full memory coherency
