Features

GENERAL

The PM8389 SMC-L is a highly integrated MIPS-based processor with a set of storage system peripherals: internal memory, Two-wire Interface(TWI), Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), General Purpose I/O (GPIO), Fan Control Ports, and expansion ports for additional memory and I/O expansion.

The device is optimized for storage system applications. A complete suite of firmware development tools and application programming interfaces are available to enable quick development of SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) or custom enclosure management applications.

INTEGRATED PROCESSOR FEATURES

  • MIPS-based™ instruction set including 16e compressed instruction set for minimizing code space size.
  • 53.125 Mhz to DC operation.
  • 32-bit architecture with 5 Stagepipeline.
  • Thirty-two 32-bit General Purpose Registers (GPR).
  • Fixed mapping translation table.
  • Extra set of shadow GPRs for improved interrupt processing latency.
  • Separate 16 KB 4-way set associative instruction and data caches to support execution out of external slow memory.
  • EJTAG debug interface supports single stepping, on-chip memory access, instruction and data breakpoints.
  • 64 KB on-chip scratch RAM for local code and data storage.

LOCAL BUS INTERFACE FEATURES

  • Supports external I/O devices, RAM and Flash Memory.
  • 4 programmable chip selects.
  • 8/16-bit data bus with 21-bit address space for a total of 2 MB per chip select.

SERIAL INTERFACE FEATURES

  • 4 multi-master two wire interfaces.
  • 2 Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interfaces.
  • 4 Fan PWM/Tachometer interfaces.

GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO)

  • Total of 53 individually programmable I/O pins (25 dedicated, 28 shared function).
  • Each I/O may operate as an input, push/pull output or open-drain output.
  • Programmable LED flash patterns.
  • Configurable LED activity pattern based on external activity trigger.

TIMER AND INTERRUPT FEATURES

  • Watchdog timer which resets processor upon timeout.
  • 6 general purpose 32-bit timers for generating hardware timed events and interrupts.
  • 4 external maskable, edge or level sensitive interrupt pins.
  • 20 internal maskable interrupt signals for UART, TWI, GPIO, and Timer generated interrupts.
  • Two 32-bit counters for generating patterns on select GPIOs.

FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT

  • SES API for utilizing SES pages transported via TWI between expander and SMC-L.
  • Peripheral Drivers: TWI, UART, GPIO,LED.

Physical

  • Built in 0.18 µm (1.8 V Core and 3.3 V I/O supply) CMOS technology.
  • GPIOs are 5 V tolerant.
  • Packaged in a 15 mm x 15 mm 196-pin CABGA.
  • 598mW typical operating power at 106MHz.
  • 465mW typical operating power at 80MHz.

Applications

  • FC/SAS/SATA Storage Array
  • Server Storage
  • Tape Storage
