    The VLSI Ruby II Advanced Communication Processor is a standard ARM-based chip intended for use in portable communications devices. It includes an ARM core with 2KB of fast on-chip SRAM, peripheral modules that share pins including a PCMCIA interface and UARTs, and a synchronous communications controller that supports serial communication protocols. The chip has four power management modes and supports external devices with 8, 16, and 32-bit data buses.

    The VLSI Ruby II Advanced Communication Processor

    VLSI Technology, Inc., were the first ARM semiconductor partner and were
    instrumental, along with Acorn Computers Limited and Apple Computer, Inc.,
    in setting up ARM Limited as a separate company.

    VLSI have manufactured many standard ARM-based chips for Acorn


    Computers and produced ARM610 chips for Apple Newtons.

    The Ruby II chip is one such standard part which is intended for use in
    portable communications devices.

    The organization of Ruby II is based around an ARM core and includes 2K


    bytes of fast (zero wait state) on-chip SRAM.

    There is a set of peripheral modules which share a number of pins, including


    a PCMCIA interface, four byte-wide parallel interfaces and two UARTs.

    buses and has flexible wait state generation. The counter-timer block
    serial controller module provides a software-controlled data port i.e
    has three 8-bit counters connected to a 24-bit prescaler, and an interrupt
    controller gives programmable control of all on- and off-chip interrupt
    I2C bus defined by Philips which enables a range of serial devices such as
    sources. The chip has four power-management modes:
    battery-backed RAM, real-time clock, E2PROM and audio codecs to be
    1. On-line - all circuits are clocked at full speed.
    connected. 2. Command - the ARM core runs with 1 to 64 wait states but all other circuitry
    runs at full speed. An interrupt switches the system into on-line mode
    immediately.
    3. Sleep - all circuitry is stopped apart from the timers and oscillators.
