First in the
EP72xx series of
ARM-based
system-on-chip processors from the
EPD division of
Cirrus Logic. Features of note include:
- EDO DRAM controller
- 37.5kB of on-chip SRAM
- built-in greyscale LCD driver
- dual serial UARTs with optional IrDA LED drive on UART0
- telecom-style CODEC interface
Like all of the 7-series
Maverick parts, an
ARM720T core lies at the heart of this beast.
The main difference between this part and the others in the series is the inclusion of the
DRAM interface and the exclusion of the high-speed
DAI CD-quality CODEC interface. This limitation makes this part suited more for PDA,
VoIP, and other non music related portable products.
The
evaluation kit for this product is the
EDB7111-2. Don't be fooled; the same board is used for the now defunct
EP7111 and this part.
