Élan
SC310
Single-Chip, 32-Bit, PC/AT Microcontroller
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
n Highly integrated, single-chip CPU and system
logic
Optimized for embedded PC applications
Combines 32 bit, x86 compatible, low-voltage
CPU with memory controller, PC/AT peripheral
controllers, real-time clock, and PLL clock
generators
0.7 micron, low-voltage, CMOS process, fully
static
n Enhanced Am386
®
SXLV CPU core
25 MHz or 33 MHz operating frequencies
3.3 V core, 3.3 V or 5 V memory and I/O
Low-power, fully static design for long battery life
System Management Mode (SMM) for power
management control
n Integrated power management functions
Internal clock generators (using multiple Phase-
Locked Loops and one external 32-KHz crystal)
Supports CPU System Management Mode
(SMM)
Multiple operating modes: High Speed PLL, Low
Speed PLL, Doze, Sleep, Suspend, and Off. Fully
static design allows stopped clock.
Comprehensive control of system and peripheral
clocks
Five external power management control pins
Suspend refresh of DRAM array
Clock switching during ISA cycles
Low power consumption: 0.12 mW typical
Suspend mode power
Simultaneous multiple-voltage I/O pads operate
at either 3.3 V or 5 V. Core operates at 3.3 V for
minimum power consumption.
n Integrated memory controller
Controls symmetrically addressable DRAM or
asymmetrical 512 Kbyte x 8 bit or 1 Mbyte x 16 bit
DRAM or SRAM as main memory
Zero wait-state access with 70 ns, Page mode
