1.8 Functional Description
Processor
NuPRO-720 supports a single AMD Geode LX 800@1.1W pro-
cessor in a BGU396 package. Available with a core voltage of
1.25 V, the Geode LX processor offers an extremely low typical
power consumption of 2.0 W, leading to longer battery life and
enabling small form-factor, fanless designs. The following are gen-
eral features of the Geode LX processor:
XCPU Core
XGeodeLink Control Processor
XGeodeLink Interface Units
XGeodeLink Memory Controller
XGraphics Processor
XDisplay Controller
XVideo Processor, TFT Controller
XGeodeLink PCI Bridge
XGeode I/O Companion Device Interface
X0.15 micron process
XPackaged in 396-terminal BGU
Memory
NuPRO-720 supports 184-pin DDR sockets, up to 2 GB. The
GeodeLink Memory Controller (GLMC) module supports the Uni-
fied Memory Architecture (UMA) of the Geode GX processor and
controls a 64-bit DDR SDRAM interface without any external buff-
ering. The SDRAM memory array contains both the main system
memory and the graphics frame buffer. Up to four module banks of
SDRAM are supported. Each module bank can have two or four
component banks depending on memory size and configuration.
Memory features include:
XSupport for up to 400 MT/S (million transfers per second)
DDR SDRAM
XSupports 64-bit data interface
XCan maintain up to 16 open banks at a time
XCan buffer up to two requests at a time
