3.1Embedded ARM Core and System Support Logic
The processing elements of the CS22220 include the ARM7TDMI core and its associated
system control logic. The ARM processor and system controller consists of a memory
management unit, 4-KB write through cache controller, 20 IRQ and 4 FIRQ interrupt
controller, and 2 general purpose timers. The ARM processor and integrated system
support logic provide the necessary execution engine to support a real time multi-tasking
operating system, the network protocol stack, and firmware services.
Memory Management Unit
ARM instructions and data are fetched from system memory a cache-line (4/8 – Dwords
/Programmable) at a time when caching is turned on. During a cache line fill, critical word
data, i.e., the access that caused the miss, is forwarded to the ARM and also written into
the data RAM cache. The non-critical words in the line fetched following the critical word
are then written to the cache on a Dword basis, as they become available.
Memory writes are posted to dual 4-Dwords (32-bit) memory write posting buffers. Write
posts use the sequential addressing feature on the memory bus. With dual buffering an out
of sequence write will post to one write buffer while the other buffer is flushed to memory.
There is one 8Dword Read Buffer in the MEM block. The buffer is used for both cacheable
and non-cacheable memory space.
Interrupt Controller
The interrupt controller provides two interrupt channels to the ARM processor.One
interrupt channel is presented to the ARM on its nFIQ, and the other channel is presented
on its nIRQ pin. These are referred to as the FIQ channel and the IRQ channel. Both
channels operate in identical but independent fashion. The FIQ channel has a higher
priority on the ARM processor than the IRQ channel.
The interrupt controller includes a CONTROL register for each logical interrupt in the ARM
Complex. The CONTROL register serves the following main purposes:
• Provides the mapping between the EXT_INT inputs (physical interrupts) and the logical
interrupt
• Selects the particular type of signaling expected on the EXT_INT inputs: level, edge,
active level high/low etc.
• Enable or disable a logical interrupt

3.2Digital Radio Interface
The CS22220 digital radio MAC I/F supports multiple radio baseband and RF interfaces.
The baseband registers can be programmed during the configuration time using the control
port interface. The MAC also provides the capability of programming the signal, service and
length on per packet basis without ARM intervention. This significantly improves the
performance of the system.
There are three primary digital interface ports for the CS22220 that are used for
configuration and during normal operation.
These ports are:
• The Control Port, which is used to configure, set power consumption modes, write
and/or read the status of the radio base band registers.
• The TX Port, which is used to output the data that needs to be transmitted from the
network processor.
• The RX Port, which is used to input the received demodulated data to the network
processor
3.3FEC Codec
The FEC codec performs Reed-Solomon coding to protect the data before it is transmitted
to a noisy channel. It is a similar code as employed by the digital broadcast industry, such
as ITU-T J.83 for DVB. The RS(255, 8) code implemented by the CS22220 can reduce
error probability to 1/10e-9 in a typical 1/10e-3 error rate environment.The
encoder/decoder can be programmed to vary the coding block length (N) and correctable
error (t) to optimize the tradeoff between channel utilization and data protection. The range
of N iscurrentlysettobefrom20to255,andthet is 8. The symbol size is fixed at 8 bits.
Coding parameters can be set real time, allowing maximum flexibility for the system to
adjust the FEC setting, such as block size, in order to optimize channel efficiency. The
encoder also has a very low latency of two cycles. Both the encoder and decoder are fully
pipelined in structure to achieve single cycle throughput. The FEC can be disabled in
firmware.
CS22220 Wireless PCMCIA Controller6 of 34DS557PP2Rev. 3.0
www.cirrus.com
3.4Programmable Memory Controller
The CS22220 incorporates a general-purpose memory controller. The memory controller
supports both SDRAM/async SRAM memory interface and a FLASH memory interface.
In the RAM configuration, the system memory interface supports up to 4-Mbyte of 16-bit
SDRAM running at frequency up to 103 MHz (using 133MHz SDRAM) single-state access
cycles or 256KB of 16 bit async SRAM. The memory controller provides programming of
SDRAM parameters such as CAS latency, refresh rate and etc; these registers are located
in miscellaneous configuration registers. The CS22220 memory controller supports the
power saving feature of the SDRAM by toggling the clock enable (CKE) signal. When there
are no pending memory requests from any internal requester, the CS22220 will keep CKE
low to cause the SDRAM to stay in power down mode. Once a memory request is active,
the CS22220 will assert CKE high to cause the SDRAM to come out of power down mode.
Typically, this can reduce memory power consumption by up to 50%.
In ROM configuration, firmware for CS22220 is stored in non-volatile memory and is
accessed through the boot ROM interface. The maximum addressable ROM space
supported is 1MB. ROM read/write and output enable are shared with RAM control pins.
3.5PCMCIA Interface
The PC-Card interface implemented in Cirrus Logic CS22220 is fully compliant with
PCMCIA 2.1/JEIDA 4.2. The interface supports 16 data bits PCMCIA program I/O and
memory mapped accesses using 11 address bits. PCMCIA interface allows laptop users to
connect to home network to access data and multimedia streams with ease. The interface
provides both memory and I/O access.
The PCMCIA interface incorporates an independent DMA controller to transfer data to/from
the main memory. The ARM has the flexibility in controlling how often it is interrupted and
simplifies the packet transmit/receive protocol. The DMA controller is programmed during
power up.
The CS22220 PCcard interface incorporates a custom mode, which can be used for
embedded applications, by bypassing the standard PC card Pnp configuration
requirements. This interface thus becomes a generic asynchronous 16 bit data interface.
This mode is useful when interfacing the CS22220 wireless network controller directly to an
embedded micro-controller capable of supporting a 16 bit data bus.

Notes:
1.Outputs are loaded with 35pf on SMD, 25pf on SMA, SMDQM, SMNRAS, and SMNCAS and 20pf on SMCLK,
SMNCS, and SMCKE.
2.An attempt has been made to balance the setup time needed by the SDRAM and the setup needed by CS22210 to
read data. If there is a problem meeting setup on the SDRAM, there is a programmable delay line on SMCLK which
can help meet the setup time. Care must be taken, however, not to violate the setup on the return read data. The
delay can be increased by a multiple of 0.25ns by using the SMA[11:09] pins to selectively set the clock delay .

Notes:
1.CCA signal is double synchronized to ARMCLKIN.
2.ARMCLK must be at least 4 times the TXCLK and RXCLK frequency.
3.Harris baseband (3824/3824A) generates RXCLK and TXCLK of 4 Mhz. the duty cycle varies between 33-40%
with a high time of 90.9ns and low time that alternates between 136 and 182ns. The clock period varies between
227 and 272 ns, giving an effective period of 250ns.
4.TXD delay in 802.11b mode is the result of sampling the TXCLK with the ctlclk, therefore the maximum delay
is equal to two ctlclk periods plus the flop-to-output delay. In this table, ctlclk is assumed to have a 13 ns
period.
5.BBNCS output delay = [(1/ARMCLK freq)*ceiling(SER_CLK_DIV/2)] + 7ns, the specified value is based on
ARMCLK of 77 Mhz and SER_CLK_DIV=8.
