Targets: Audio, Automotive, Consumer, Industrial
The Cirrus Logic EP7312 targets ultra-low-power portable and line-powered applications such as portable consumer entertainment devices, home and car audio juke box systems, and general purpose industrial control applications, or any device that features the added capability of digital audio compression and decompression. The core-logic functionality of the device is built around an ARM720T processor with 8-kbytes of four-way set-associative unified cache and a write buffer. Incorporated into the ARM720T is an enhanced MMU (memory management unit) that allows for support of operating systems like Microsoft Windows CE and Linux.
