This paper describes a 160 MHz 500 mW 32 b StrongARM(R) microprocessor designed for low-power, low-cost applications. The chip implements the ARM(R) V4 instruction set and is bus compatible with earlier implementations. The pin interface runs at 3.3 V but the internal power supplies can vary from 1.5 to 2.2 V, providing various options to balance performance and power dissipation. At 160 MHz internal clock speed with a nominal Vdd of 1.65 V, it delivers 185 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS while dissipating less than 450 mW. The range of operating points runs from 100 MHz at 1.65 V dissipating less than 300 mW to 200 MHz at 2.0 V for less than 900 mW. An on-chip PLL provides the internal clock based on a 3.68 MHz clock input. The chip contains 2.5 million transistors, 90% of which are in the two 16 kB caches. It is fabricated in a 0.35-/spl mu/m three-metal CMOS process with 0.35 V thresholds and 0.25 /spl mu/m effective channel lengths. The chip measures 7.8 mm/spl times/6.4 mm and is packaged in a 144-pin plastic thin quad flat pack (TQFP) package.
