1.1Intel® StrongARM® SA-1100 Microprocessor

The Intel® StrongARM® SA-1100 Microprocessor (SA-1100) is the second member of the StrongARM® family. It is a highly integrated communications microcontroller that incorporates a 32-bit StrongARM® RISC processor core, system support logic, multiple communication channels, an LCD controller, a PCMCIA controller, and general-purpose I/O ports.

As does the Intel® StrongARM® SA-110 Microprocessor (SA-110), the first member of the StrongARM family, the SA-1100 provides power efficiency, low cost, and high performance. Figure 1-1shows the features of the SA-1100. The shaded boxes are features that have carried over with few or no changes from the SA-110. The nonshaded boxes are new or updated features for the SA-1100.
