SECTION 4 SYSTEM INTEGRATION MODULE

The MC68340 system integration module (SIM40) consists of several functions that control the system start-up, initialization, configuration, and the external bus with a minimum of external devices. It also provides the IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan capabilities. The SIM40 includes the following functions:

•System Configuration and Protection

•Clock Synthesizer

•Chip Selects and Wait States

•External Bus Interface

•Bus Arbitration

•Dynamic Bus Sizing

•IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port

4.1 MODULE OVERVIEW

The SIM40 is essentially identical to the SIM implemented in the MC68330. The SIM40 has similar features to the SIM in the MC68331, MC68332, and MC68333. The periodic interrupt timer, double bus fault monitor, software watchdog, internal bus monitor, and spurious interrupt monitor are identical. However, many of the other features in the SIM's differ in their use and details.

The system configuration and protection function controls system configuration and provides various monitors and timers, including the internal bus monitor, double bus fault monitor, spurious interrupt monitor, software watchdog timer, and the periodic interrupt timer.

The clock synthesizer generates the clock signals used by the SIM40 and the other on- chip modules, as well as CLKOUT used by external devices.

The programmable chip select function provides four chip select signals that can enable external memory and peripheral circuits, providing all handshaking and timing signals. Each chip select signal has an associated base address register and an address mask register that contain the programmable characteristics of that chip select. Up to three wait states can be programmed by setting bits in the address mask register.

MC68340 specifications

The Motorola MC68340 is a highly integrated microprocessor that was introduced in the early 1990s. It belongs to the 68000 family of microprocessors and is designed to cater to the demands of embedded systems, particularly in telecommunications and networking applications. This chip represents a significant evolution in microprocessor technology by combining a microprocessor core with additional peripherals on a single chip, making it an attractive solution for engineers looking to design compact and efficient systems.

One of the key features of the MC68340 is its 32-bit architecture, which allows for significant processing power and data handling capabilities. This architecture enables the processor to handle larger data sizes and perform more complex calculations compared to its 16-bit predecessors. The MC68340 operates at clock speeds typically ranging from 16 MHz to 25 MHz. Its dual instruction pipeline enhances throughput, allowing for simultaneous instruction fetches and executions, which significantly boosts performance.

A notable characteristic of the MC68340 is the inclusion of integrated peripherals, which help reduce the overall component count in a system. Key integrated components include a memory management unit (MMU), a direct memory access (DMA) controller, and various communication interfaces such as serial ports. The memory management capabilities enhance the processor's ability to manage memory resources efficiently, enabling it to support multitasking environments commonly found in modern computing.

In terms of connectivity, the MC68340 features connections for both synchronous and asynchronous serial communication, making it well-suited for networking tasks. The processor supports a range of bus standards, including address and data buses, which facilitate seamless interaction with peripheral devices.

Another important aspect of the MC68340 is its flexibility. The processor supports multiple operating modes, including multiple CPU configurations and compatibility with the Motorola 68000 family, allowing for easier integration into existing systems.

Moreover, the MC68340 boasts low power consumption compared to many of its contemporaries, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated applications, enhancing its appeal in sectors like telecommunications, industrial control, and automotive systems. Its combination of performance, integration, versatility, and efficiency has secured the MC68340 a reputable position in the annals of embedded systems technology, proving to be a valuable asset for developers and engineers alike.
