OVERVIEW (cont.)
The EP7311 is designed for low-power operation. Its core
operates at only 2.5 V, while its I/O has an operation range of
2.5 V–3.3 V. The device has three basic power states:
operating, idle and standby.
— Two 16550 compatible UARTs
— IrDA Interface
— Two PWM Interfaces
— Real-time Clock
— Two general purpose 16-bit timers
— Interrupt Controller
— Boot ROM
Package
—256-Ball PBGA
The fully static EP7311 is optimized for low power
dissipation and is fabricated on a 0.25 micron CMOS
process
Development Kits
— EDB7312: Development Kit with color STN LCD on
board.
Note: * Use the EDB7312 Development Kit for all the EP73xx
devices.
One of its notable features is MaverickKey unique IDs. These
are factory programmed IDs in response to the growing
concern over secure web content and commerce. With Internet
security playing an important role in the delivery of digital
media such as books or music, traditional software methods are
quickly becoming unreliable. The MaverickKey unique IDs
consist of two registers, one 32-bit series register and one
random 128-bit register that may be used by an OEM for an
authentication mechanism.
Simply by adding desired memory and peripherals to the
highly integrated EP7311 completes a low-power system
solution. All necessary interface logic is integrated on-chip.

The EP7311 incorporates an ARM 32-bit RISC
microcontroller that controls a wide range of on-chip
peripherals. The processor utilizes a three-stage pipeline
consisting of fetch, decode and execute stages. Key features
include:
•ARM (32-bit) and Thumb (16-bit compressed) instruction
sets
•Enhanced MMU for Microsoft Windows CE and other
operating systems
•8 KB of 4-way set-associative cache.
•Translation Look Aside Buffers with 64 Translated Entries
Power Management
The EP7311 is designed for ultra-low-power operation. Its core
operates at only 2.5 V, while its I/O has an operation range of
2.5 V–3.3 V allowing the device to achieve a performance
level equivalent to 60 MIPS. The device has three basic power
states:
• Operating — This state is the full performance state.
All the clocks and peripheral logic are enabled.
• Idle — This state is the same as the Operating State,
except the CPU clock is halted while waiting for an
event such as a key press.
• Standby — This state is equivalent to the computer
being switched off (no display), and the main
oscillator shut down. An event such as a key press
can wake-up the processor.

Both a specific 32-bit ID as well as a 128-bit random ID is
programmed into the EP7311 through the use of laser probing
technology. These IDs can then be used to match secure
copyrighted content with the ID of the target device the
EP7311 is powering, and then deliver the copyrighted
information over a secure connection. In addition, secure
transactions can benefit by also matching device IDs to server
IDs. MaverickKey IDs provide a level of hardware security
required for today’s Internet appliances.
Memory Interfaces
There are two main external memory interfaces. The first one
is the ROM/SRAM/FLASH-style interface that has
programmable wait-state timings and includes burst-mode
capability, with six chip selects decoding six 256 MB sections
of addressable space. For maximum flexibility, each bank can
be specified to be 8-, 16-, or 32-bits wide. This allows the use
of 8-bit-wide boot ROM options to minimize overall system
cost. The on-chip boot ROM can be used in product
manufacturing to serially download system code into system
FLASH memory. To further minimize system memory
requirements and cost, the ARM Thumb instruction set is
supported, providing for the use of high-speed 32-bit
operations in 16-bit op-codes and yielding industry-leading
code density.

MaverickKey™ Unique ID
MaverickKey unique hardware programmed IDs are a solution
to the growing concern over secure web content and
commerce. With Internet security playing an important role in
the delivery of digital media such as books or music,
traditional software methods are quickly becoming unreliable.
The MaverickKey unique IDs provide OEMs with a method of
utilizing specific hardware IDs such as those assigned for
SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) or any other
authentication mechanism.

The second is the programmable 16- or 32-bit-wide SDRAM
interface that allows direct connection of up to two banks of
SDRAM, totaling 512 Mb. To assure the lowest possible power
consumption, the EP7311 supports self-refresh SDRAMs,
which are placed in a low-power state by the device when it
enters the low-power Standby State.

Multimedia Codec Port (MCP)
The Multimedia Codec Port provides access to an audio codec,
a telecom codec, a touchscreen interface, four general purpose
analog-to-digital converter inputs, and ten programmable
digital I/O lines.
Note: 1. Pins A[27:13] map to DRA[0:14] respectively.
(i.e. A[27}/DRA[0}, A[26}/DRA[1], etc.) This is to
balance the load for large memory systems.
2. Pins are multiplexed. See Table S on page 11 for
more information.
Digital Audio Capability
The EP7311 uses its powerful 32-bit RISC processing engine
to implement audio decompression algorithms in software. The
nature of the on-board RISC processor, and the availability of
efficient C-compilers and other software development tools,
ensures that a wide range of audio decompression algorithms
can easily be ported to and run on the EP7311
The EP7311 includes two 16550-type UARTs for RS-232
serial communications, both of which have two 16-byte FIFOs
for receiving and transmitting data. The UARTs support bit
rates up to 115.2 kbps. An IrDA SIR protocol encoder/ decoder
can be optionally switched into the RX/TX signals to/from

High-Performance, Low-Power System on Chip
64-Keypad Interface
Matrix keyboards and keypads can be easily read by the
EP7311. A dedicated 8-bit column driver output generates
strobes for each keyboard column signal. The pins of Port A,
when configured as inputs, can be selectively OR'ed together
to provide a keyboard interrupt that is capable of waking the
system from a STANDBY or IDLE state.
•Column outputs can be individually set high with the
remaining bits left at high-impedance
•Column outputs can be driven all-low, all-high, or all-highimpedance
•Keyboard interrupt driven by OR'ing together all Port A
bits
•Keyboard interrupt can be used to wake up the system
•88 keyboard matrix usable with no external logic, extra
keys can be added with minimal glue logic

Interrupt Controller
When unexpected events arise during the execution of a
program (i.e., interrupt or memory fault) an exception is
usually generated. When these exceptions occur at the same
time, a fixed priority system determines the order in which
they are handled. The EP7311 interrupt controller has two
interrupt types: interrupt request (IRQ) and fast interrupt
request (FIQ). The interrupt controller has the ability to control
interrupts from 22 different FIQ and IRQ sources.
•Supports 22 interrupts from a variety of sources (such as
UARTs, SSI1, and key matrix.)
•Routes interrupt sources to the ARM720T’s IRQ or FIQ
(Fast IRQ) inputs
•Five dedicated off-chip interrupt lines operate as level
sensitive interrupts
Note: Pins are multiplexed. See Table S on page 11 for more
information.
Real-Time Clock
The EP7311 contains a 32-bit Real Time Clock (RTC) that can
be written to and read from in the same manner as the timer
counters. It also contains a 32-bit output match register which
can be programmed to generate an interrupt.
•Driven by an external 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator
•Processor and Peripheral Clocks operate from a single
3.6864 MHz crystal or external 13 MHz clock
•Programmable clock speeds allow the peripheral bus to run
at 18 MHz when the processor is set to 18 MHz and at
36 MHz when the processor is set to 36, 49 or 74 MHz
•Provides two 96 kHz clock outputs with programmable
duty ratio (from 1-in-16 to 15-in-16) that can be used to
drive a positive or negative DC to DC converter

Pin Multiplexing
The following table shows the pin multiplexing of the MCP,
SSI2 and the CODEC. The selection between SSI2 and the
CODEC is controlled by the state of the SERSEL bit in
SYSCON2. The choice between the SSI2, CODEC, and the
MCP is controlled by the MCPSEL bit in SYSCON3 (see the
EP73xx User’s Manual for more information).
