1. OVERVIEW
The W90220 is a high performance, highly integrated 32-bit processor intended for a wide range of
embedded applications, such as videophone, internet devices, internetworking platform. Fig 1-1 shows a
block diagram of the overall system. The W90220 consists of a 32-bit PA-RISC core, memory controller
and integrated logics for I/O modules
The PA-RISC core is equipped with 4 KBytes of instruction cache memory and 4 KBytes of data cache
memory augmented with a dual-cycle multiply/accumulate module running up to 150 MHz. It allows to
implement integrated DSP functions like software modem for high-performance standard data and fax
protocols. A flexible power management scheme (under software control) and lots of low power circuits
have been used to eliminate the chip's power consumption. The W90220 consume only 375 mA at its
maximum speed (150 MHz) on a full-load system.
The chip provides two 8-bit DMA channels, four 16-bit IDE I/O channels, a PCI bridge supporting up to
four external PCI masters, a IEEE-1284 compliant parallel port interface (PPI), two RS232 type universal
asynchronous serial port (UART), two timer channels, a flexible synchronous interface (SSI) connecting to
an external audio or telephony codec devices, a proprietary serial ICE interface (SP-ICE) for software
development and debugging.
The chip has a high performance memory controller. The types of external memory devices supported
include dynamic random access memory (DRAM), Extended data out dynamic random access memory
(EDO-DRAM), static random access memory (SRAM), Flash memory as well as read-only memory
(ROM).
