memory with minimal CPU intervention using a highly sophisticated
direct memory access (DMA) engine. All data transfers through the
RC32438 are achieved by writing data from an on-chip I/O peripheral to
main memory and then out to another I/O module.
CPU Execution Core
The 32-bit CPU core is 100% compatible with the MIPS32 instruction
set architecture (ISA).
Specifically, this device features the 4Kc CPU core developed by
MIPS Technologies Inc. (www.mips.com). This core issues a single
instruction per cycle, includes a five stage pipeline, and is optimized for
applications that require integer arithmetic. The CPU core includes 16
KB instruction and 16 KB data caches. Both caches are 4-way set asso-
ciative and can be locked on a per line basis, which allows the
programmer control over this precious on-chip memory resource. The
core also features a memory management unit (MMU). The CPU core
also incorporates an enhanced joint test access group (EJTAG) inter-
face that is used to interface to in-circuit emulator tools, providing
access to internal registers and enabling the part to be controlled exter-
nally, simplifying the system debug process. The use of this core allows
IDT's customers to leverage the broad range of software and develop-
ment tools available for the MIPS architecture, including operating
systems, compilers, and in-circuit emulators.
Double Data Rate Memory Controller
The RC32438 incorporates a high performance double data rate
(DDR) memory controller which supports both x16 and x32 memory
configurations up to 2GB. This module provides all of the signals
required to interface to both memory modules and discrete devices,
including two chip selects, differential clocking outputs and data strobes.
Memory and I/O Controller
The RC32438 uses a dedicated local memory/IO controller including
a de-multiplexed 16-bit data and 26-bit address bus. It includes all of the
signals required to interface directly to as many as six Intel or Motorola-
style external peripherals, and the interface can be configured to
support both 8-bit and 16-bit peripherals.
DMA Controller
The DMA controller consists of 10 independent DMA channels, all of
which operate in exactly the same manner. The DMA controller off-loads
the CPU core from moving data among the on-chip interfaces, external
peripherals, and memory. The controller supports scatter/gather DMA
with no alignment restrictions, appropriate for communications and
graphics systems.
PCI Interface
The PCI interface on the RC32438 is compatible with version 2.2 of
the PCI specification. An on-chip arbiter supports up to six external bus
masters, supporting both fixed priority and rotating priority arbitration
schemes. The part can support both satellite and host PCI configura-
tions, enabling the RC32438 to act as a slave controller for a PCI add-in
Device Overview
The RC32438 is a member of the IDT™ Interprise™ family of PCI
integrated communications processors. It incorporates a high perfor-
mance CPU core and a number of on-chip peripherals. The integrated
processor is designed to transfer information from I/O modules to main

card application, or as the primary PCI controller in the system. The PCI
interface can be operated synchronously or asynchronously to the other
I/O interfaces on the RC32438 device.
Ethernet Interface
The RC32438 has two Ethernet Channels supporting 10Mbps and
100Mbps speeds to provide a standard media independent interface
(MII) off-chip, allowing a wide range of external devices to be connected
efficiently.
UART Interface
The RC32438 contains two completely separate serial channels
(UARTs) that are compatible with the industry standard 16550 UART.
System Integrity Functions
The RC32438 contains a programmable watchdog timer that gener-
ates NMI when the counter expires and an address space monitor that
reports errors in response to accesses to undecoded address regions.
General Purpose I/O Controller
The RC32438 contains 32 general purpose input/output pins. Each
pin may be used as an active high or active low level interrupt or non-
maskable interrupt input, and each signal may be used as a bit input or
output port.

C Interface
The standard I2C interface allows the RC32438 to connect to a
number of standard external peripherals for a more complete system
solution. The RC32438 supports both master and slave operations.
Debug Support
The RC32438 supports the industry standard Rev. 2.6 EJTAG inter-
face.

Pin Description Table
The following table lists the functions of the pins provided on the RC32438. Some of the functions listed may be multiplexed onto the same pin.
The active polarity of a signal is defined using a suffix. Signals ending with an “N” are defined as being active, or asserted, when at a logic zero
(low) level. All other signals (including clocks, buses and select lines) will be interpreted as being active, or asserted when at a logic one (high) level.

CLK
Type
Name/Description
I
Master Clock.
This is the master clock input. The processor frequency is a mul-
tiple of this clock frequency. This clock is used as the system clock for all mem-
ory and peripheral bus operations.
External Clock.
This clock is used for all memory and peripheral bus opera-
tions.
Cold Reset.
The assertion of this signal initiates a cold reset. This causes the
processor state to be initialized, boot configuration to be loaded, and the internal
PLL to lock onto the master clock (CLK).
Reset.
The assertion of this bidirectional signal initiates a warm reset. This sig-
nal is asserted by the RC32438 during a warm reset.
