Power, Reset and Clock Management (PRCM)

•

Power, Reset and Clock Management (PRCM)

module controls power management

• One voltage supply to device processors and

peripherals.

• Supports dynamic clock gating for power
management through clock domains.

–

A clock domain is a group of modules or subsections of device

that share a common clock

– By gating the clock to each domain, it is possible to cut a clock to

14

a group of inactive modules to lower their active power

consumption.

Programmable Real-time Unit (PRU)

1. What is PRU?

– Programmable Real-time Unit Subsystem
– Dual 32bit RISC processors running at ½ CPU freq.
– Local instruction and data RAM. Access to chip-level

resources

2. Why PRU?

–

Full programmability allows adding customer

differentiation

–

Efficient in performing embedded tasks that require

–

Efficient in performing embedded tasks that require

manipulation of packed memory mapped data
structures

–

Efficient in handling of system events that have tight

real-time constraints.

24

PRU Value

1. Extend Connectivity and Peripheral capability

– Implement special peripherals and bus interfaces (e.g. UARTs)

–

Implement smart data movement schemes. Especially useful for

Audio algorithms (e.g. Reverb, Room Correction)

2.

Reduce System Power Consumption

– Allows switching off the ARM clocks
– Implement smart power controller by evaluating events before

waking up ARM. Maximized power

-

down time.

3. Accelerate System Performance

–

Full programmability allows custom interface implementation

–
