System Integration Module (SIM)

14.1 Introduction

This section describes the system integration module (SIM). Together with the central processor unit
(CPU), the SIM controls all microcontroller unit (MCU) activities.

A block diagram of the SIM is shown in

Figure 14-1

.

The SIM is a system state controller that coordinates CPU and exception timing. The SIM is responsible
for:

Bus clock generation and control for CPU and peripherals:

Wait/reset/break entry and recovery

Internal clock control

Master reset control, including power-on reset (POR) and computer operating properly (COP)
timeout

Interrupt control:

Acknowledge timing

Arbitration control timing

Vector address generation

CPU enable/disable timing

Modular architecture expandable to 128 interrupt sources

Table 14-1

shows the internal signal names used in this section.
