Alchemy is a family of high performance, ultra low power embedded microprocessors implementing the MIPS32 ISA. They were originally designed by Alchemy Semiconductor and target communication and media devices, e.g. wireless gateways and access points; VoIP, navigation, and NAS devices; STBs, thin clients, mobile TV and media players, and digital photo frames.

Overview

Alchemy Semiconductor unveiled the Au1000 processor at the Embedded Processor Forum in San Jose, CA, on June 13, 2000, with limited customer sampling in February 2001 and availability in production quantities in Q2 of that year. The Au1500, integrating a PCI controller, was announced one year later at EPF 2001, with customer sampling beginning in December 2001. The Au1100 replaced the PCI interface with an LCD controller and was introduced on April 8, 2002. In February 2002 AMD acquired Alchemy Semiconductor in order to compete with Intel's ARM-based XScale processors. AMD's Alchemy family gained the new members Au1550 and Au1200 with announcements in February 2004 and January 2005 respectively, as well as the Am1772 wireless chipset consisting of the Am1770 transceiver and Am1771 integrated baseband/MAC chips. In 2006 Intel sold its XScale PXA family to Marvell while Raza Microelectronics, later renamed RMI Corporation, secured the Alchemy line and some of its designers from AMD. On January 9, 2007 RMI announced the Au1210 and Au1250 with full production in Q2, and in January 2009 the Au13xx models integrating a graphics processor. In October 2009 RMI merged with NetLogic Microsystems who was in turn acquired by Broadcom in 2012.

All processors of the Alchemy family use the Au1 CPU core designed by Alchemy Semiconductor and integrate peripherals licensed from third parties, always including an SDRAM controller, a static bus controller, a DMA controller, two interrupt controllers, two timers RTC and TOY, an EJTAG interface compliant with the MIPS specification, and a power management unit. Other peripherals vary with the target market.

The CPU core, the memory controllers, and other high speed peripherals are linked by an internal System Bus (SBUS) which carries a 36-bit physical address, 32-bit data, and a byte mask, running at a configurable ratio of 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 of the core frequency. Low speed, non-bus master capable peripherals are attached with an ancillary Peripheral Bus (PBUS) running at one half of the SBUS frequency.

For power management the core supports two Idle modes clock-gating the core. In one of these modes the data cache remains operational, snooping the SBUS to maintain coherency. GPRs and CP0 registers are preserved in both modes, the CP0 constant rate timer increments at an unpredictable rate while RTC and TOY are unaffected. Sleep mode puts the SDRAMs into self-refresh mode and powers down all peripherals except TOY. In Hibernate mode, on models supporting it, the entire board can be powered down while a battery keeps the TOY counter running.

Au1000 and Au1500 processors were fabricated on a TSMC 180 nm LV logic 1.5V/3.3V 1P6M process, the Au1100 reduced power consumption further with a TSMC 130 nm process. Manufacturing details of later models are unknown. The nominal core voltage is 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, or 1.8 V depending on model, the I/O voltage 3.3 V.

Each member of the family was available with different core frequency and hence power ratings, different temperature ranges, and earlier models in a Pb-free or standard package. A low profile, fine pitch plastic ball grid array (LF-PBGA) package was used for all models.

Members

Au1000 Processors

These processors integrate the following peripherals:

• 32-bit SDR-133 SDRAM controller
• 32-bit static bus controller
• USB 1.1 (OHCI) host controller, USB 1.1 device controller
  • Two USB host ports and one device port
• Two 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet MAC controllers
• Low speed interfaces AC97, I2S, Fast IrDA, 2 × SSI, 4 × UART, and up to 32 GPIOs

The SDRAM controller supports SDRAM, SMROM, and SyncFlash. It should be noted that SDRAMs are clocked at one half of the SBUS frequency and therefore one quarter of the core frequency. Accordingly the 266 and 400 MHz models are expected to be paired with SDR-66 and SDR-100 DRAMs respectively, and the 500 MHz model cannot quite realize the maximum bandwidth of SDR-133 memory. This also applies to the Au1500 and Au1100 processors.

The static bus controller has an interface with 32-bit data and address bus and supports SRAM, ROM, standard Flash memory, page mode Flash/ROM, PCMCIA/CompactFlash devices, and I/O peripherals such as an external LCD controller.

The Au1000, Au1500, and Au1100 processors contain an eight-channel DMA controller. Each channel is capable of transferring data between memory and any of the integrated peripherals or between memory and a memory-mapped FIFO through the static bus controller using a GPIO as DMA request. Memory-to-memory transfers are not supported.

Au1000 processors identify with PRId 0x00030101 (Au1 rev. 1, stepping DA) and 0x00030201 to 0x00030204 (Au1 rev. 2, stepping HA to HD). They have a typical TDP between 300 and 900 mW. The CPU core runs at 1.5 or 1.8 V nominal ±5% and is rated for frequencies between 266 and 500 MHz. They shipped in a 23 mm × 23 mm × 1.5 mm, 324-pin LF-PBGA package with 1.0 mm ball pitch.

Au1500 processors identify with PRId 0x01030200 to 0x01030202. They have a typical TDP between 400 and 1200 mW. The CPU core runs at 1.5 or 1.8 V nominal ±5% and is rated for frequencies between 333 and 500 MHz. They shipped in a 19 mm × 19 mm × 1.45 mm, 424-pin LF-PBGA package with 0.8 mm ball pitch.

Au1100 processors identify with PRId 0x02030201 to 0x02030204. They have a typical TDP between 200 and 400 mW. The CPU core runs at 1.22 V nominal (1.12-1.32 V) and is rated for frequencies between 333 and 500 MHz. They shipped in a 17 mm × 17 mm × 1.7 mm, 399-pin LF-PBGA package with 0.8 mm ball pitch.

Au1550 Security Network Processors

These processors integrate the following peripherals:

• 16/32-bit SDR/DDR SDRAM controller
• 32-bit static bus controller
• PCI 2.2 controller, 32-bit bus, 33 or 66 MHz

• SafeNet Security Engine

The SDRAM controller supports 3.3 V (standard) and 2.5 V (mobile) SDR devices up to SDR-166, and 2.5 V DDR devices up to DDR-400. The DRAM to SBUS clock ratio is configurable 1:1 or 1:2, the SBUS to CPU core frequency 1:2, 1:3, or 1:4, so the realizable memory bandwidth again depends on the core frequency and clock ratios. Presumably the 32-bit SBUS has a higher throughput than a 32-bit DRAM bus, but it can certainly not saturate 32-bit DDR memory running at the same frequency.

The static bus controller has an interface with 32-bit data and 29-bit address bus and supports SRAM, ROM, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, PCMCIA/CompactFlash devices, and I/O peripherals.

Au1550 and later processors contain a 16-channel DMA controller which operates on linked lists of transfer descriptors in memory. It supports memory to memory, memory to peripheral, peripheral to memory, and peripheral to peripheral transfers, DMA by GPIO request, 36-bit source and destination addresses with no alignment requirement, scatter/gather and stride transfers, compare and branch descriptors for transfers conditional on I/O registers, and various priority policies.

The Security Engine accelerates IP packet encryption/decryption in hardware.

• DES, 3DES, AES, ARC4 encryption algorithms
• MD5, SHA1 hash algorithms
• Supports header/trailer processing, padding, and initialization vector (IV) processing for IPsec packets
• Supports a two-pass hash-then-encrypt implementation of the SSL protocol using either MD5 or SHA1 and 3DES or ARC4 ciphers
• True entropy-based random number generator

Au1550 processors support the Hibernate mode. They identify with PRId 0x0303xxxx. The typical TDP lies between 400 and 600 mW. The CPU core runs at 1.2 V nominal (1.1-1.3 V) and is rated for frequencies between 333 and 500 MHz. They shipped in a 21 mm × 21 mm × 1.7 mm, 483-pin LF-PBGA package with 0.8 mm ball pitch.

It supports two ranks and can address 512 MiB using four 1-Gbit devices. Since the SBUS bandwidth is insufficient for the LCD and MAE peripherals and the SBUS could not be easily extended, a 64-bit side bus running at the SBUS frequency, the RBUS, was added between the SDRAM controller and those peripherals.

The static bus controller has an interface with 16-bit data and 15-bit address bus (30-bit address with an external latch) and supports SRAM, ROM, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, PCMCIA/CompactFlash devices, IDE PIO mode, and other I/O peripherals.
