EP7311
High-Performance, Low-Power System on Chip
64-Keypad Interface
Matrix keyboards and keypads can be easily read by the
EP7311. A dedicated 8-bit column driver output generates
strobes for each keyboard column signal. The pins of Port A,
when configured as inputs, can be selectively OR'ed together
to provide a keyboard interrupt that is capable of waking the
system from a STANDBY or IDLE state.
•
Column outputs can be individually set high with the
remaining bits left at high-impedance
•
Column outputs can be driven all-low, all-high, or all-high-
impedance
•
Keyboard interrupt driven by OR'ing together all Port A
bits
•
Keyboard interrupt can be used to wake up the system
•

8 keyboard matrix usable with no external logic, extra
keys can be added with minimal glue logic
Interrupt Controller
When unexpected events arise during the execution of a
program (i.e., interrupt or memory fault) an exception is
usually generated. When these exceptions occur at the same
time, a fixed priority system determines the order in which
they are handled. The EP7311 interrupt controller has two
interrupt types: interrupt request (IRQ) and fast interrupt
request (FIQ). The interrupt controller has the ability to control
interrupts from 22 different FIQ and IRQ sources.
•
Supports 22 interrupts from a variety of sources (such as
UARTs, SSI1, and key matrix.)
•
Routes interrupt sources to the ARM720T’s IRQ or FIQ
(Fast IRQ) inputs
•
Five dedicated off-chip interrupt lines operate as level
sensitive interrupts
.
Note:
Pins are multiplexed. See
for more
information.
Real-Time Clock
The EP7311 contains a 32-bit Real Time Clock (RTC) that can
be written to and read from in the same manner as the timer
counters. It also contains a 32-bit output match register which
can be programmed to generate an interrupt.
•
Driven by an external 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator
PLL and Clocking
•
Processor and Peripheral Clocks operate from a single
3.6864 MHz crystal or external 13 MHz clock
•
Programmable clock speeds allow the peripheral bus to run
at 18 MHz when the processor is set to 18 MHz and at
36 MHz when the processor is set to 36, 49 or 74 MHz
