Product details
Overview
IDT79RC32T355-150DH from Integrated Device Technology is a 32-bit integrated communications processor built around the RC32300 MIPS-II–enhanced CPU core, featuring 8KB instruction cache, 2KB data cache, MMU with 16-entry TLB, and on-chip SDRAM controller supporting up to 512 MB across two banks. It integrates dual 16550-compatible UARTs (up to 1.5 Mb/s), USB 1.1 device controller, 10/100 Ethernet MAC with MII, ATM SAR, TDM interface, I²C, three 32-bit timers, and 36 GPIO pins - deployed in xDSL residential gateways and SOHO routers.
For engineers reviewing the IDT79RC32T355-150DH datasheet, IDT79RC32T355-150DH pinout, IDT79RC32T355-150DH application, or IDT79RC32T355-150DH equivalent, key selection considerations include its 150 MHz pipeline frequency, 2.5V core / 3.3V I/O supply, 208-pin PQFP package, integrated ATM SAR with UTOPIA Level 1/2 support, and real-time debug via EJTAG with PC trace capability.
Technical Context
The IDT79RC32T355-150DH implements a hybrid ATM SAR architecture: hardware handles CRC-32/AAL5, HEC, cell buffering (16 cells), and UTOPIA timing, while software manages higher-layer segmentation/reassembly - enabling flexible xDSL chipset interfacing. Its memory subsystem uses a 26-bit address bus and 32-bit data bus with variable-width (8/16/32-bit) peripheral access, boot ROM support, and automatic SDRAM refresh.
The processor supports big/little-endian operation, per-line cache locking for deterministic DSP execution, and real-time debugging via dual-mode EJTAG (Run-Time Mode for standard JTAG, Real-Time Mode with PCST[2:0] pins for internal clock-synchronized trace). The DMA controller provides 16 channels with scatter/gather, unaligned, and burst transfer support across memory, peripherals, and on-chip interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pipeline Frequency | 150 MHz - determines maximum instruction throughput and real-time response latency for telecom control tasks. |
| Core Voltage / I/O Voltage | 2.5 V core / 3.3 V I/O - requires dual-rail power design; enables compatibility with legacy 3.3V peripherals while reducing dynamic core power. |
| Cache | 8 KB 2-way instruction cache + 2 KB 2-way data cache - reduces external memory accesses for critical code/data, improving determinism in VoIP and modem firmware. |
| SDRAM Support | 2 banks, 32-bit data path, up to 512 MB total - enables cost-effective main memory for embedded Linux or RTOS-based gateway applications. |
| UART Speed | Up to 1.5 Mb/s - supports high-speed console logging, modem AT command channel, or serial management interfaces without external baud rate generators. |
| USB Interface | USB 1.1 full-speed (12 Mb/s) slave controller with integrated transceiver - eliminates need for external PHY in PC-connected consumer appliances. |
| Ethernet MAC | IEEE 802.3u-compliant 10/100 Mbps MAC with MII and auto-negotiation - allows direct connection to external PHYs for SOHO router LAN/WAN ports. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), 28 × 28 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKP | System Clock Input | Master reference clock input; RC32300 pipeline frequency derived as integer multiple (×2/×3/×4) - must be stable low-jitter source for deterministic timing. |
| COLDRSTN | Cold Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset that initializes CPU state, loads boot configuration, and locks internal PLL - critical for reliable power-on sequence. |
| SYSCLKP | System Clock Output | Buffered/delayed version of CLKP; drives SDRAM clock inputs and RC32355's own SDCLKINP - ensures synchronous SDRAM read capture timing. |
| MADDR[25:0] | Memory Address Bus | 26-bit address bus for SDRAM, Flash, SRAM, and peripherals; upper bits [25:22] double as GPIOP[30:27] - enables flexible memory mapping and GPIO expansion. |
| MDATA[31:0] | Memory Data Bus | 32-bit bidirectional data path supporting 8/16/32-bit transfers; used for all memory and peripheral reads/writes - defines peak bandwidth to external devices. |
| GPIOP[0]–[35] | General Purpose I/O | 36 individually configurable pins; each supports input, output, or alternate function (e.g., UART, I²C, TDM, ATM) - replaces discrete logic for interface bridging and board-level customization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RC32300 CPU Core | MIPS-II ISA with DSP instructions and cache locking - enables software-based 33.6/56 kbps modem emulation and real-time VoIP processing without dedicated ASICs. |
| Integrated ATM SAR | Hardware-accelerated CRC-32/AAL5, HEC, 16-cell buffering, and UTOPIA Level 1/2 support - offloads CPU from cell-level processing in xDSL line cards and DSLAM edge devices. |
| TDM Interface | Configurable 1–128 time slot support, Lucent CHI/GCI/Mitel ST-bus compatibility, up to 8.192 Mb/s - directly connects to telephone CODECs and audio A/D-D/A converters for voice-over-DSL. |
| EJTAG Debug Interface | Dual-mode (Run-Time + Real-Time) with PC trace pins (PCST[2:0]) - enables non-intrusive instruction tracing and cycle-accurate debugging for complex communications firmware. |
| Flexible Memory Controller | Supports SODIMM, Flash ROM, SRAM, dual-port RAM, and external wait-state generation - simplifies BOM by eliminating glue logic for mixed-memory systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT79RC32355-180DH | 180 MHz pipeline frequency; identical feature set and pinout - higher clock enables 20% greater packet processing throughput. | Preferred for high-concurrency SOHO routers with >100 concurrent VoIP sessions or multi-WAN failover. | Select when thermal headroom allows and sustained CPU utilization exceeds 75% at 150 MHz. |
| LSI RC32438-BG553 | ARM922T core (not MIPS); 200 MHz; integrated PCI interface; no native ATM SAR - requires external UTOPIA PHY and software SAR. | Better suited for Linux-based gateways requiring PCI expansion (e.g., WiFi add-on cards) but lacks hardware ATM acceleration. | Choose only if ARM toolchain familiarity, PCI connectivity, or longer product lifecycle outweighs loss of hardware ATM/TDM offload. |
Compared with IDT79RC32T355-150DH, the -180DH offers higher deterministic throughput for packet-intensive workloads without changing layout or firmware, while the RC32438 trades integrated telecom interfaces for general-purpose expandability - making it less suitable for xDSL-specific deployments requiring low-latency hardware SAR and TDM.
