PDC2 Datasheet 32 bit Embedded ASIC Core Peripheral

Manufacturer: Atmel (now Microchip Technology)

General Description

The Peripheral Data Controller 2 (PDC2) transfers data between on-chip peripherals such as the UART, USART, SSC and SPI and the on- and off-chip memories.

This transfer is achieved via the AMBA Bridge using a simple arbitration mechanism between the AMBA System Bus (ASB) and the PDC2 to control Bridge access.

This avoids processor intervention and removes the processor interrupt handling overhead.

Key Features

  • Compatible with an Embedded ARM7TDMI™ Processor Generates Transfers to/from Serial Peripherals Such as UART, USART, SSC and SPI Supports Up to 12 Peripherals.
  • Parameterizable on Request One ARM® Cycle Needed for a Transfer from Memory to Peripheral Two ARM Cycles Needed for a Transfer from Peripheral to Memory Fully Scan Testable up to 98% Fault Coverage Can be Directly Connected to the Atmel Implementation.
