Samsung ARM9 S3C2440A hardware core circuit design

Abstract

The Samsung S3C2440A is an advance microprocessor available with good performance for cost. The 32-bit CMOS microprocessor contained ARM920T core, with 0.13 um CMOS standard cells and memory complier. The interesting features are consumed less power and fully static design for the cost and power sensitive applications. This paper described the hardware design of core circuitry and PCB layout for the microprocessor that can be implemented for various applications, including mobile and desktop model devices. The core design consisted of basic development platform which utilized the features offered by the S3C2440 microprocessor.
