SPEAr600 是具有雙ARM926EJ-S核的嵌入式MPU, 性能高達733 DMIPS,支持靈活的存儲器,有功能強大的連接特性和可編程的LCD接口. ARM926EJ-S內核的工作頻率高達333MHz,其中的MMU支持虛擬的存儲器管理,是系統能和Linux操作系統兼容.主要用在需要大量計算的應用中如企業VoIP設備,可編邏輯控制器(PLC),醫療實驗室/診斷設備,無線接入設備,家用電器等.本文介紹SPEAr600主要特性,方框圖, 典型系統架構圖以及EVALSPEAR600評估板主要特性,電路圖和材料清單(BOM).

The SPEAr600 is a member of the SPEAr family of embedded MPUs for networked devices, it is based on dual ARM926EJ-S processors (up to 333 MHz), widely used in applications where high computation performance is required.

Both processors have an MMU supporting virtual memory management and making the system compliant with the Linux operating system. They also offer 16 KBytes of data cache, 16 KBytes of instruCTIon cache, JTAG and ETM (embedded trace macro-cell) for debug operations.

To expand its range of target applications, SPEAr600 can be extended by adding additional peripherals through the external local bus (EXPI interface).
