ARM 32-Bit RISC Core with 16-Bit System Costs
The ARM7TDMI core is the industry’s most widely used 32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor. The ARM7TDMI-S is asynthesizable version of the ARM7TDMI. Optimized for cost- and power-sensitive applications, the ARM7TDMI solutionprovides the low power consumption, small size, and high performance needed in portable, embedded applications.
The ARM7TDMI core is a 32-bit embedded RISC processor delivered as a hard macrocell optimized to provide the bestcombination of performance, power, and area characteristics. The ARM7TDMI core enables system designers to buildembedded devices requiring small size, low power, and high performance.
The ARM7 family also includes the ARM7TDMI processor, the ARM7TDMI-S processor, the ARM720T processor, and theARM7EJ-S processor, each of which has been developed to address different market requirements.
RISC Advantages c
The ARM architecture is based on the Reduced Instruction SetComputer (RISC) principles. The RISC instruction set andrelated decode mechanism are much simpler than those of theComplex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) designs. Thissimplicity has the following advantages:
• A high instruction throughput
• An excellent real-time interrupt response
• A small, cost-effective, processor macrocell
The Instruction Pipeline c
• The instruction pipeline
• Memory access
• Memory interface
• EmbeddedICE
The Instruction Pipeline c
The ARM7TDMI core uses a pipeline to increase the speed ofthe flow of instructions to the processor. This allows severaloperations to take place simultaneously.
A three-stage pipeline is used, so instructions are executed inthree stages:
• Fetch (the instruction is fetched from memory)
• Decode (decoding of registers used in the instruction)
• Execute (register/s read from register bank; shift and ALU operations; write register/s back to register bank)
During normal operation, while one instruction is being executed,its successor is being decoded and a third instruction is beingfetched from memory.
ARM7TDMI and ARM7TDMI-S
Memory Access c
The ARM7TDMI core has a Von Neumann architecture with asingle 32-bit data bus carrying both instructions and data. Onlyload, store, and swap instructions can access data from memory.This simplifies the internal logic of the processor memory inter-face using less die area.
Memory Interface c
The ARM7TDMI processor memory interface has been designedto allow performance potential to be realized while minimizing theuse of memory. Speed-critical control signals are pipelined toallow system control functions to be implemented in standardlow-power logic. These control signals facilitate the exploitationof fast-burst access modes supported by many on-chip andoff-chip memory technologies.

EmbeddedICE-RT Logic c
The EmbeddedICE-RT logic provides integrated on-chip debugsupport for the ARM7TDMI core. You use the EmbeddedICE-RTlogic to program the conditions under which a breakpoint orwatchpoint can occur.
The EmbeddedICE-RT logic contains a Debug CommunicationsChannel (DCC), which is used to pass information between thetarget and the host debugger. The EmbeddedICE-RT logic iscontrolled through the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) testaccess port.
On execution, 16-bit Thumb instructions are transparentlydecompressed to full 32-bit ARM instructions in real timewithout performance loss.

Applications c
• Industrial• Automotive• Personal audio (MP3, WMA, and AAC players)
Features c
• 32-/16-bit RISC architecture (ARM v4T) • 32-bit ARM instruction set for maximum performance
and flexibility • 16-bit Thumb instruction set for increased code density • Unified bus interface; 32-bit data bus carries both
instructions and data • Three-stage pipeline • 32-bit ALU • Very small die size and low power consumption • Fully static operation • Coprocessor interface • Extensive debug facilities:
– EmbeddedICE-RT real-time debug unit – JTAG interface unit– Interface for direct connection to Embedded Trace
Macrocell (ETM)
Benefits c
• Generic layout can be ported to specific process technologies
• ARM and Thumb instruction sets can be mixed with minimal overhead to support application requirements forspeed and code density
• Small die size reduces overall SoC area, cost, and power consumption
• EmbeddedICE-RT and optional ETM units enable extensive, real-time debug facilities
Architecture c
The ARM7TDMI processor has two instruction sets:
• The 32-bit ARM instruction set• The 16-bit Thumb® instruction set
Having both 32-bit ARM instructions and 16-bit Thumbinstructions gives the ARM7TDMI processor two advantages:instruction compression and higher performance over typical16-bit architectures.
Microprocessor architectures traditionally have the samewidth for instructions and data. In comparison with 16-bitarchitectures, 32-bit architectures exhibit higher performancewhen manipulating 32-bit data and can access a large addressspace much more efficiently.
Typically, 16-bit architectures have higher code density than32-bit architectures, but they have approximately half theperformance.
The Thumb instructions implement a 16-bit instruction set on a32-bit architecture to provide:
• Higher performance than a 16-bit architecture• Higher code density than a 32-bit architecture
The Thumb instruction set is a subset of the most commonlyused 32-bit ARM instructions. Thumb instructions are each 16 bits long and have a corresponding 32-bit ARM instruction.This has the same effect on the processor model. Thumb instructions operate with the standard ARM register configuration, allowing excellent interoperability between ARM and Thumb states.

Processors Optimized for Cost-Sensitive and Deeply-Embedded Applications
The ARM CortexTM-M3 processor has been developed to provide a high-performance, low-cost platform that meets theneeds of minimal memory implementation, reduced pin count, and low power consumption, while delivering outstandingcomputational performance and exceptional system response to interrupts.
The ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit RISC processor executes purely Thumb®-2 instructions, delivering the high performance expected of an ARM core in the memory size usually associated with 8- and 16-bit devices; typically in the range of a few kilobytes of memory for microcontroller class applications.
In addition to minimizing its memory requirement, the ARMCortex-M3 processor is also the smallest 32-bit core designedby ARM at just 33k gates for the central processing core(CM3Core) and 60k gates total, including many close systemperipherals. This design reduces silicon area requirements evenfurther, enabling the smallest of packages or the manufacturingof devices on low-cost processes, such as 0.35 µM and 0.25 µM.
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor also reduces the number of pinsrequired for debug from five to one, by implementing a newdebug interface technology—Single Wire Debug—that canreplace the current multi-pin JTAG port.

By implementing theregister manipulations required for handling an interrupt inhardware, this core achieves minimal clock overhead on enteringinterrupts, and switches between pending or higher priority inter-rupts in only six cycles. The design, which comes with 32 interrupt channels as standard, can be configured to between 1 and over 240 channels.
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor also includes an optionalMemory Protection Unit (MPU) to provide a privileged modeof operation for complex applications.

Embedded Processors for Real-Time Applications
The ARM Cortex™-R4 processor is the first deeply embedded processor to be based on the ARMv7 architecture and is targeted at very high-volume, deeply embedded applications such as hard-disk drives, inkjet printers, and automotivesafety systems.
The ARM Cortex-R4 processor provides key savings in cost and power consumption for system developers, offeringsubstantially higher performance than any other processor with similar die size. Along with the ARM1156T2-S and ARMCortex-M3 processors, the ARM Cortex-R4 processor completes comprehensive coverage for the diverse needs of theembedded microprocessor market. Furthermore, the ARM Cortex-R4 processor supports substantial synthesis timeconfigurability that enables designers to match the processor precisely to the application requirements.
In addition to the ARM Cortex-R4, ARM has introduced theARM Cortex-R4F, which contains a Floating Point Unit (FPU).The ARM Cortex-R4F processor’s FPU performs floating-pointcalculations that allow a greater dynamic range and accuracythan fixed-point calculations. The FPU is backward compatiblewith earlier ARM FPUs (VFP9/10/11), and is optimized for thesingle-precision processing most commonly used in automotiveand control applications. The FPU is particularly useful insophisticated control applications, where algorithms are oftenmodeled in an environment such as Simulink or ASCET-SD,and code is auto-generated using tools such as Real TimeWorkshop Embedded Coder, ASCET-SE, or dSPACE Targetlink.
The ARM Cortex-R4 processor is capable of running at clockspeeds of up to 400 MHz on typical 90 nm processes, and thefocus throughout the design is on efficiency and configurability.
Technical Innovations c

• AMBA 3 AXI protocol; a set of major enhancements to AMBA for high-performance on-chip interconnect, the ARM Cortex-R4 processor integrates a 64-bit master portas well as a 64-bit DMA port for direct access to the Tightly Coupled Memories (TCM)
• A selective superscalar eight-stage pipeline that provides more than 1.6 DMIPS/MHz in an efficient low gate count implementation
• Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI); many real-time applications demand this and the ARM Cortex-R4 supports a configurable NMI pin
ARM Cortex-R4(F)
• CoreSight™ technology; a framework for complete system debug and trace; this includes the ETM-R4 embedded trace macrocell and many other CoreSight components
• A significantly improved local memory architecture for TCM and DMA; TCM can now be unified into a single logical address space and can run as fast as cache memory
• Enhancements over the ARMv6 architecture include improvements in interrupt handling and the memory protection scheme; new instructions for managing interrupts reduce the critical early-interrupt handler code,and the worst-case interrupt latency is vastly improved toonly 20 clock cycles

ARM Architecture Compatibility c
The Intel XScale® microarchitecture implements the integerinstruction set architecture specified in ARM Version 5TE. “T” refers to the Thumb instruction set, and “E” refers to the DSP-enhanced instruction set.
ARM Version 5 introduces a few more architecture features overVersion 4, specifically the addition of tiny pages (1 Kbyte), a newinstruction (CLZ) that counts the leading zeroes in a data value,enhanced ARM-Thumb transfer instructions, and a modificationof the system-control coprocessor, CP15.
ARM DSP-Enhanced Instruction Set c
The Intel XScale® microarchitecture implements the ARM DSP-enhanced instruction set, which is a set of instructions that boosts the performance of signal-processing applications.New multiply instructions operate on 16-bit data values, and new saturation instructions are available as well (see below).
• SMLAxy instruction is a 16x16+32 with a 32-bit result
• SMLAWy instruction is a 32x16+32 with a 32-bit result
• SMLALxy instruction is a 16x16+64 with a 64-bit result
• SMULxy instruction is a 16x16 with a 32-bit result
• SMULWy instruction is a 32x16 with a 32-bit result
• QADD adds two registers and saturates the result if an overflow has occurred
• QDADD doubles and saturates one of the input registers and then adds and saturates the result
• QSUB subtracts two registers and saturates the result if an overflow has occurred
• QDSUB doubles and saturates one of the input registers and then subtracts and saturates the result
Extensions to ARM Architecture c
The Intel XScale® microarchitecture includes a few extensions tothe ARM Version 5 architecture to meet the needs of variousmarkets and design requirements. The following is a list of theextensions that are discussed in the next subsections.
• A DSP coprocessor (CP0) has been added that contains a 40-bit accumulator and eight new instructions
• New page attributes were added to the page table descriptors; the C- and B-page attribute encoding was extended by one additional bit to allow for more encodings: write-allocate and mini-data cache; an attribute specifying ECC for 1 MB regions was also added
• Additional functionality has been added to coprocessor 15; coprocessor 14 also added
• Enhancements were made to the event architecture, instruction cache, and data-cache parity
DSP Coprocessor 0 (CP0) c
The Intel XScale® microarchitecture adds a DSP coprocessor to the architecture for increasing the performance and the precision of audio-processing algorithms. This coprocessor contains a 40-bit accumulator and eight new instructions.
The 40-bit accumulator is referenced by several new instructionsthat were added to the architecture; MIA, MIAPH, and MIAxy are multiply/accumulate instructions that reference the 40-bitaccumulator instead of a register-specified accumulator. MARand MRA read and write the 40-bit accumulator.
Access to CP0 is always allowed in all processor modes whenbit 0 of the coprocessor access register is set. Any access toCP0 when this bit is clear will cause an undefined exception.Note that only privileged software can set this bit in thecoprocessor access register. Two new instruction formats were added for coprocessor 0: multiply with internal accumulate format, and internal accumulate access format.
Branch Prediction c
The Intel XScale® microarchitecture implements dynamic branch prediction for the ARM instructions B and BL, and for the Thumb instruction, B. Any instruction that specifies the PC as the destination is predicted as “not taken.” For example,an LDR or an MOV that loads or moves directly to the PC will be predicted “not taken” and incur a branch-latency penalty.
These instructions (ARM B, ARM BL, and Thumb B) enter intothe branch target buffer when they are “taken” for the first time.(A “taken” branch refers to when they are evaluated to be true.)Once in the branch target buffer, the Intel XScale®
microarchitecture dynamically predicts the outcome of theseinstructions based on previous outcomes. A penalty of “zero” for correct prediction means that the Intel XScale®
microarchitecture can execute the next instruction in the program flow in the cycle following the branch.
Power Management c
The Intel XScale® microarchitecture defines three low-powermodes: idle, drowsy, and sleep. All state information is lost onentering sleep mode. The only way to exit sleep mode is throughthe reset sequence. State is retained in idle and drowsy modes.Both idle and drowsy modes are exited by interrupt, even if theinterrupt is masked. A single coprocessor 14 register write isused to enter any low-power mode.

Create Applications for ARM7, ARM9, or Cortex-M3 Based Microcontrollers
The RealView® Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK) shortens development cycles byreducing the time spent configuring, testing, and debugging embedded applications.
The RealView MDK combines ARM RealView compilation tools with the Keil µVision®
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), providing developers with a feature-rich envi-ronment optimized for ARM-Powered® microcontrollers.
The Keil µVision IDE includes c
• Project management and device and tool configuration• A source code editor optimized for embedded systems • Target debugging and Flash programming• Accurate device simulation (CPU and peripheral)
ARM technology-based projects created under µVision are automatically compiled and linked using the RealView compilation tools.
The built-in microcontroller simulator models more than 50 ARM-Powered® devices, including the ARM instruction set, on-chip peripherals, and the external signals used to manipulate them.
ARM RealView compilation tools are recognized by the industryfor providing the best performance of all available ARM technology-targeted compilers. Developed and tuned to deliverthe tightest code density, the compiler produces the smallestcode size, which leads to significant product cost savings. The compiler generates optimized code for both the 32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb® instruction sets while supporting full ISO standard C and C++.
Project Configuration c
The µVision IDE incorporates a device database of supportedARM-Powered microcontrollers. In µVision projects, requiredoptions are set automatically when you select the device fromthe device database.
µVision displays only those options that are relevant to theselected device and prevents the selection of incompatible directives. Only a few dialogs are required to completely configure all the tools (assembler, compiler, linker, debugger, and Flash download utilities) and memory map for your application.

Project Management c
File groups allow associated files to be grouped together. Theymay be used to separate files into functional blocks or to identifyengineers in your software team.
Project targets allow you to create several programs from a single project. You may require one target for testing and another target for a release version of your application. Each target allows individual tool settings within the same project file.
Editor c
The µVision Editor includes all the standard features you expect in a professional editor. Color syntax highlighting and text indentation are optimized for editing C source files, whiledocument outlining allows you to collapse function blocks in your source code. Most Editor functions are quickly accessedfrom the toolbars.
While debugging, the Editor is available so you can easily makechanges to your source code.

Debugger c
The µVision Editor enables you to set simple breakpoints using the context menu (or Editor toolbar) while creating your C or assembler source. Breakpoints you set while editing areactivated when you start the µVision Debugger.
In addition to simple breakpoints, the µVision Debugger supports complex breakpoints (with conditional or logical expressions) and memory access breakpoints (with read/writeaccess from an address or range). The Debugger also displays code coverage and execution profiling information in the Editor windows.
RealView Real-Time Library c
The RealView Real-Time Library (RL-ARM) enables networking,communication, and real-time software. The RL-ARM is based ona real-time kernel that simplifies the design and implementationof complex, time-critical applications. A Flash file system, TCP/IP networking suite, and other communication protocols are included.
Today, microcontroller applications require simultaneous execution of multiple jobs or tasks. For such applications, the RL-ARM allows task management and flexible scheduling of system resources (CPU, memory, etc.).
The RL-ARM is a full-featured real-time kernel with task priorities, round-robin, preemptive context switching, and support for multiple instances of the same task function. It is royalty-free and is fully integrated into µVision.
Third-Party Utilities c
Third-party utilities extend the functions and capabilities ofµVision and are available from a wide variety of vendors.
Accurate Device Simulation c
The µVision Debugger simulates a complete ARM-Poweredmicrocontroller including the instruction set and on-chip peripherals. These powerful simulation capabilities provide serious benefits and promote rapid, reliable embedded software development.
• Simulation allows software testing on your desktop with no hardware environment
• Early software debugging on a functional basis improves overall software reliability
• Simulation allows breakpoints that are not possible with hardware debuggers
• Simulation allows for optimal input signals (hardware debuggers add extra noise)
• Signal functions are easily programmed to reproduce complex, real-world input signals
• Single-stepping through signal processing algorithms is possible; external signals stop when the CPU halts
• It is easy to test failure scenarios that would destroy real hardware peripherals
