The EP7312 is designed for ultra-low power applications such as portable hand-held devices that require digital audio decompression capability, Internet appliances, and low power industrial controls. The core-logic functionality of the device is built around an ARM720T processor running at clock speeds up to 74 and 90MHz with 8 Kbytes of four-way, set-associative, unified cache, and a write buffer. Incorporated into the ARM720T is an enhanced memory management unit (MMU) which allows for support of sophisticated operating systems like Microsoft Windows CE and Linux®. The EP7312 is designed for ultra-low power operation. Its core operates at only 2.5V, while its I/O has an operational range of 2.5 to 3.3V. The device has three basic power states: operating, idle, and standby. The EP7312 integrates an interface to enable a direct connection to many low-cost, low-power, high-quality, audio converters. In particular, the DAI can directly interface with the CS43L41/42/43 low-power audio D/A converters and the CS53L32 low-power A/D converter. Simply by adding the desired memory and peripherals to the highly integrated EP7312 completes a low-power system solution. All necessary interface logic is integrated on-chip.
