3 Functional Description
The architecture of the C161S combines advantages of both RISC and CISC processors
and of advanced peripheral subsystems in a very well-balanced way. In addition the on-
chip memory blocks allow the design of compact systems with maximum performance.
Figure 3 gives an overview of the different on-chip components and of the advanced,
high bandwidth internal bus structure of the C161S.
Note: All time specifications refer to a CPU clock of 20 MHz
(see definition in the AC Characteristics section).
Figure 3 Block Diagram
The program memory, the internal RAM (IRAM) and the set of generic peripherals are
connected to the CPU via separate buses. A fourth bus, the XBUS, connects external
resources as well as additional on-chip resources, the X-Peripherals (see Figure 3).
