ESAI Enhanced Serial
Audio Interface
Connectivity
Peripherals
The Enhanced Serial Audio Interface (ESAI) provides a full-duplex serial
port for serial communication with a variety of serial devices, including
industry-standard codecs, SPDIF transceivers, and other processors.
The ESAI consists of independent transmitter and receiver sections, each
section with its own clock generator. All serial transfers are synchronized
to a clock. Additional synchronization signals are used to delineate the
word frames. The normal mode of operation is used to transfer data at a
periodic rate, one word per period. The network mode is also intended for
periodic transfers; however, it supports up to 32 words (time slots) per
period. This mode can be used to build time division multiplexed (TDM)
networks. In contrast, the on-demand mode is intended for non-periodic
transfers of data and to transfer data serially at high speed when the data
becomes available.
The ESAI has 12 pins for data and clocking connection to external
devices.
FlexCAN-1
FlexCAN-2
Flexible Controller
Area Network
Connectivity
Peripherals
The CAN protocol was primarily, but not only, designed to be used as a
vehicle serial data bus, meeting the specific requirements of this field:
real-time processing, reliable operation in the Electromagnetic
interference (EMI) environment of a vehicle, cost-effectiveness and
required bandwidth. The FlexCAN module is a full implementation of the
CAN protocol specification, Version 2.0 B, which supports both standard
and extended message frames.

GPIO-3
GPIO-4
GPIO-5
GPIO-6
GPIO-7
General Purpose I/O
Modules
System
Control
Peripherals
Used for general purpose input/output to external devices. Each GPIO
module supports 32 bits of I/O.
GPMI General Purpose
Media Interface
Connectivity
Peripherals
The GPMI module supports up to 8x NAND devices. 40-bit ECC error
correction for NAND Flash controller (GPMI2). The GPMI supports
separate DMA channels per NAND device.
GPT General Purpose
Timer
Timer
Peripherals
Each GPT is a 32-bit “free-running” or “set and forget” mode timer with
programmable prescaler and compare and capture register. A timer
counter value can be captured using an external event and can be
configured to trigger a capture event on either the leading or trailing edges
of an input pulse. When the timer is configured to operate in “set and
forget” mode, it is capable of providing precise interrupts at regular
intervals with minimal processor intervention. The counter has output
compare logic to provide the status and interrupt at comparison. This
timer can be configured to run either on an external clock or on an internal
clock.
GPU2Dv3 Graphics Processing
Unit-2D, ver. 3
Multimedia
Peripherals
The GPU2Dv3 provides hardware acceleration for 2D graphics
algorithms, such as Bit BLT, stretch BLT, and many other 2D functions.
