2-2 Intel® PXA255 Processor Developer’s Manual
System Architecture
2.2 Intel XScale® Microarchitecture Implementation
Options
The processor incorporates the Intel XScale® microarchitecture which is described in a separate
document. This core contains implementation options which an Application Specific Standard
Product (ASSP) may elect to implement or omit. This section describes those options.
Most of these options are specified within the coprocessor register space. The processor does not
implement any coprocessor registers beyond those defined in the Intel XScale® microarchitecture.
The coprocessor registers which are ASSP specific, as stated in the Intel XScale®
Microarchitecture for the Intel® PXA255 Processor User’s Manual, order number 278793, are
defined in the following sections.
2.2.1 Coprocessor 7 Register 4 - PSFS Bit
Bit 5 of this register is defined as the Power Source Fault Status bit or PSFS bit. This bit is set when
either nVDD_FAULT or nBATT_FAULT pins are asserted and the Imprecise Data Abort Enable
(IDAE) bit in the Power Manager Control Register (PMCR) is set.
This is a read-only register. Ignore reads from reserved bits.
