Introduction

The Intel

StrongARM

SA-1110 Microprocessor (SA-1110) is a highly integrated

communications microcontroller that incorporates a 32-bit StrongARM

RISC processor core,

system support logic, multiple communication channels, an LCD controller, a memory and

PCMCIA controller, and general-purpose I/O ports. For more information about the SA-1110

device, see the Intel

StrongARM

SA-1110 Microprocessor Developer’s Manual, order number

278240.

The Intel

StrongARM

SA-1111 Microprocessor Companion Chip (SA-1111) is a companion

chip to the SA-1110, providing a variety of functions suitable for use in a high-performance

handheld computer system. The SA-1111 brings a new level of integration to small systems,

providing a variety of I/O functions that enable complete systems to be built with very little “glue”

logic. In addition to a complete USB Host Controller, the SA-1111 includes extensive support for

PCMCIA and Compact Flash (CF), two PS/2 ports, two industry-standard serial ports, and other

I/O capabilities. It can acquire the system memory bus and do DMA transfers to system memory

(EDO or SDRAM) with its high-performance memory controller. For more information about the

SA-1111 device, see the Intel
