The PS7500FE is a highly integrated general-purpose system-on-chip designed for a wide range of control and communications applications. Based on a low-power, high-speed ARM RISC CPU core, the PS7500FE integrates onto a single chip a powerful 50-MIPS processor; a hardware floating point unit that is ANSI/IEEE 754-1985-compliant; memory interfaces; and a full complement of system peripherals. This integrated component greatly simplifies system design for complex applications such as network computers, screen phones, process control systems, and instrumentation control.

In addition to the 32-bit processor with hardware floating point, the PS7500FE incorporates system cache; a memory management unit (MMU); high-resolution color CRT/LCD graphics control; a CD-quality audio controller; and interfaces for a keyboard/mouse/joystick.

A wide variety of Cirrus Logic and industry-standard third-party peripheral functions can be attached through the PS7500FE's integrated ISA-style input/output (I/O) bus. For example, the CS8900A Ethernet controller can be attached for high-speed network communications. Mass storage subsystems, modems, and other communications subsystems can also be easily added to designs through the standard bus architecture.
