INTRODUCTION
This data sheet describes the embedded Ultra-Low
Power (ULP) Intel486™ SX processor. It is intended
for embedded battery-operated and hand-held appli-
cations. The embedded ULP Intel486 SX processor
provides all of the features of the Intel486 SX
processor except for the external data-bus parity
logic and the processor-upgrade pin. The processor
typically uses 20% to 50% less power than the
Intel486 SX processor. Additionally, the embedded
ULP Intel486 SX processor external data bus has
level-keeper circuitry and a fast-recovery core clock
which are vital for ultra-low-power system designs.
The processor is available in a Thin Quad Flat
Package (TQFP) enabling low-profile component
implementation.
The embedded ULP Intel486 SX processor consists
of a 32-bit integer processing unit, an on-chip cache,
and a memory management unit. The design
ensures full instruction-set compatibility with the
8086, 8088, 80186, 80286, Intel386™ SX, Intel386
DX, and all versions of Intel486 processors.
•
On-Chip Memory Management Unit
— Address
management and memory space protection
mechanisms maintain the integrity of memory in a
multitasking and virtual memory environment. Both
segmentation and paging are supported.
•
Burst Cycles
— Burst transfers allow a new
double word to be read from memory on each bus
clock cycle. This capability is especially useful for
instruction prefetch and for filling the internal
cache.
•
Write Buffers
— The processor contains four
write buffers to enhance the performance of
consecutive writes to memory. The processor can
continue internal operations after a write to these
buffers, without waiting for the write to be
completed on the external bus.
•
Bus Backoff
— When another bus master needs
control of the bus during a processor initiated bus
cycle, the embedded ULP Intel486 SX processor
floats its bus signals, then restarts the cycle when
the bus becomes available again.
•
Instruction Restart
— Programs can continue
execution following an exception generated by an
unsuccessful attempt to access memory. This
feature is important for supporting demand-paged
virtual memory applications.
•
Dynamic Bus Sizing
— External controllers can
dynamically alter the effective width of the data
bus. Bus widths of 8, 16, or 32 bits can be used.
•
Boundary Scan (JTAG)
— Boundary Scan
provides in-circuit testing of components on
printed circuit boards. The Intel Boundary Scan
implementation conforms with the IEEE Standard
Test Access Port and Boundary Scan Architecture.
•
Intel System Management Mode (SMM)
— A
unique Intel architecture operating mode provides
a dedicated special purpose interrupt and address
space that can be used to implement intelligent
power management and other enhanced functions
in a manner that is completely transparent to the
operating system and applications software.
•
I/O Restart
— An I/O instruction interrupted by a
System Management Interrupt (SMI#) can
automatically be restarted following the execution
of the RSM instruction.
•
Stop Clock
— The embedded ULP Intel486 SX
processor has a stop clock control mechanism that
provides two low-power states: a Stop Grant state
(40–85 mW typical, depending on input clock
frequency) and a Stop Clock state (~60 µW typical,
with input clock frequency of 0 MHz).
1.1
Features
The embedded ULP Intel486 SX processor offers
these features of the Intel486 SX processor:
•
32-bit RISC-Technology Core
— The embedded
ULP Intel486 SX processor performs a complete
set of arithmetic and logical operations on 8-, 16-,
and 32-bit data types using a full-width ALU and
eight general purpose registers.
•
Single Cycle Execution
— Many instructions
execute in a single clock cycle.
•
Instruction Pipelining
— Overlapped instruction
fetching, decoding, address translation and
execution.
•
On-Chip Cache with Cache Consistency
Support —
An 8-Kbyte, write-through, internal
cache is used for both data and instructions.
Cache hits provide zero wait-state access times
for data within the cache. Bus activity is tracked to
detect alterations in the memory represented by
the internal cache. The internal cache can be
invalidated or flushed so that an external cache
controller can maintain cache consistency.
•
External Cache Control
— Write-back and flush
controls for an external cache are provided so the
processor can maintain cache consistency.
