About the SD188ES/SD188EM
Demonstration Board
The AMD
exceptionally small, low-cost product for demonstration of the AMD Am188™ES
and Am188™EM microcontrollers. See page ix for a block diagram of the board.
The SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board is a stand-alone evaluation
platform for the Am188ES or Am188EM microcontroller. The Am188ES and
Am188EM microcontrollers integrate peripherals such as 12 chip-select
controllers, serial controllers, 32 programmable I/Os, three timers, an interrupt
controller, and watchdog timer to increase system functionality while reducing
overall cost. The memory controller supports a glueless connection to SRAM,
EPROM, Flash memory, and pseudo-static RAM. The Am188ES and Am188EM
microcontrollers also feature an innovative bus design that frees the processor to
run at nearly twice the speed of standard 80C188 processors while using
commodity memory devices.
The SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board is designed with a 104-pin Am188
expansion interface that provides access to the Am188ES and Am188EM
microcontrollers signals. The Am188 expansion interface facilitates prototyping
with external devices by using the SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board as
the minimal system core of a design.
The SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board highlights the Am188ES and
Am188EM microcontrollers' serial ports, glueless interface to SRAM and Flash
memory, and the expansion interface to peripheral attachments. A complete
description of the board can be found in Chapter 2, "Demonstration Board
Functional Description".
