Preface
ARM7100 Data Sheet
The ARM7100 is a high integration microcontroller particularly well-suited for PDAs, smart mobile phones, handheld games, portable instruments and similar applications. Built around the ARM microprocessor, the ARM7100 integrates LCD control, glueless DRAM interface, UART with infra-red SIR protocol support and the other peripherals required for handheld computing applications. In normal operation at 18.4MHz at 3.3V, the ARM7100 consumes an extremely low 70mW and in standby, less than 40μW, which gives excellent battery performance. System power is minimized by the ability to use self-refresh DRAM when in standby. ARM7100 was implemented using a modular design methodology and the AMBA internal bus architecture. The ARM7100 is the ideal starting point from which to consider further ASSP devices for volume OEM applications.

The ARM Processor Macrocell
ARM7100 Data Sheet
Preliminary
3.1 Introduction
ARM7100 contains a 32-bit RISC ARM710a processor macrocell. It has a 8Kb cache, write buffer, and a memory management unit (MMU). The ARM processor macrocell offers high-level RISC performance, yet its fully static design ensures minimal power consumption. This makes it ideal for incorporation into ARM7100. This part of the datasheet describes the features of the ARM processor macrocell which are available to the user in its embedded state within ARM7100. It is not intended that this should be used as a standalone datasheet for a separate ARM processor macrocell.
The ARM processor architecture is based on Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles, and the instruction set and related decode mechanism are greatly simplified compared with microprogrammed Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC). The mixed data and instruction cache together with the write buffer substantially raise the average execution speed and reduce the average amount of memory bandwidth required by the processor. The MMU supports a conventional two-level page-table structure and a number of extensions which make it ideal for embedded control, UNIX and Object Oriented systems.
3.2 Instruction set
The instruction set comprises ten basic instruction types:

3.3 Memory Interface
The memory interface has been designed to allow the performance potential to be realised without incurring high costs in the memory system. Speed-critical control signals are pipelined to allow system control functions to be implemented in standard low-power logic, and these control signals permit ARM7100 to exploit the page mode access offered by industry-standard DRAMs.
3.4 Clocking
ARM7100 uses the ARM processor macrocell in fastbus mode. This means that the core FCLK frequency is tied to the main processor input clock ( MCLK ). All references to FCLK in this datasheet should be read as MCLK.

4.1 Introduction
The ARM processor supports a variety of operating configurations. Some are controlled by register bits and are known as theregister configurations. Others may be controlled by software and these are known asoperating modes.
4.2 Register Configuration
The ARM processor provides 3 register configuration settings which may be changed while the processor is running. These are discussed below.
The bigend bit in the control register sets whether the ARM7100 treats words in memory as being stored in big-endian or little-endian format. See òChapter 6, Cache, Write Buffer and Coprocessors for more information on the Control Register. Memory is viewed as a linear collection of bytes numbered upwards from zero. Bytes 0 to 3 hold the first stored word, bytes 4 to 7 the second and so on. In the little-endian scheme the lowest numbered byte in a word is considered to be the least significant byte of the word and the highest numbered byte is the most significant. Byte 0 of the memory system should be connected to data lines 7 through 0 ( D[7:0] ) in this scheme.
Figure 4-1: Little-endian addresses of bytes within word In the big-endian scheme the most significant byte of a word is stored at the lowest numbered byte and the least significant byte is stored at the highest numbered byte. Byte 0 of the memory system should therefore be connected to data lines 31 through 24 ( D[31:24] ). Load and store are the only instructions affected by the endianness: see ò 5.7 Single Data Transfer (LDR, STR) on page 5-21 for more details.
