Functional Description
Section 1: Functional Description

Overview
The Broadcom BCM4706 is a family of processors optimized for power and cost without compromising
performance. Integrating a high-performance 600 MHz MIPS32 74KTM core with a 32 KB four-way set
associative instruction cache, a 32 KB four-way set associative data cache, and a 64-entry TLB, the BCM4706
offers significant performance improvements in both transfer rates and CPU utilization.
Flexible support for a variety of system bus interfaces is provided including Gigabit Ethernet MACs, an audio/
voice TDM unit, a USB 2.0 host port, PCI Express (X1 lane), 16-bit/32-bit DDR2 300 MHz memory control, serial
Flash port, and 16-bit parallel Flash port. There are 16 GPIOs on the BCM4706 processor. All inputs can be used
to generate processor interrupts.
MIPS Core
The chip integrates an advanced 600 MHz MIPS32 74K core with a 32 KB four-way set associative I-cache and
a 32 KB four-way set associative D-Cache. The MIPS32 74K core has an integrated 32 32-bit single-cycle
multiply/accumulate block running at CPU core speed, providing additional signal or media processing
capabilities. The integrated MMU with a 64-entry TLB block is included, allowing support for common
multithreaded real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as the standard Linux distribution.
Reset
A power-on or hard reset is initiated by an active low reset pulse on the RESET_N Schmitt-triggered input pin.
The reset signal has a minimum required low pulse duration to guarantee that a sufficiently long reset is applied
to all internal circuits, including integrated PHYs (see Table 15: Reset and Clock Timing, on page 35). The
initialization process loads all pin configurable modes, resets all internal processes, and puts the device in the
idle state. During initialization, the clock source input signal must be active, and the 3.3V power supply to the
device must be stable.
Crystal Oscillator and Clock Generator

A typical BCM4706-based platform requires only a single crystal to clock the entire device. Several internal PLLs
are driven by the oscillator and generate the various clocks, including the clock for the 10/100/1000 MAC core
and the MIPS32 74K, DDR2 SDRAM, PCIe, UART, and USB 2.0 host controllers.

DDR2 SDRAM Interface
DDR2 SDRAM Interface

The integrated DDR2 controller has on-chip serial termination resistors on the address, data and control
signals, except DDR clocks. The differential clock pair needs external serial termination resistors. Additionally,
VREF pin must be set to half of the DDR_OVDD_1P8 voltage. This can be accomplished by using two equal value
resistors to divide the DDR_OVDD_1P8 voltage.
USB 2.0 Host Controllers

The BCM4706 integrates a USB 2.0 host controller that supports high-speed USB 2.0 ports. It is also backward
compatible with full-speed and low-speed USB 1.1 devices. Each host port has a dedicated overcurrent input
to notify the OS or driver to take appropriate action. Individual port power control is also available.
PCI Express Interface

The PCI Express (PCIe) core on the BCM4706 is a high performance serial I/O interconnect that is protocol
compliant and electrically compatible with the PCI Express Base Specification v1.1. This core contains all the
necessary blocks, including logical and electrical functional subblocks, to perform PCIe functionality and
maintain high-speed links using existing PCI system configuration software implementations without
modification.
The PCIe core is organized in logical layers: Transaction Layer, Data Link Layer, and Physical Layer, as shown in
Figure 2. A configuration or link management block is provided for enumerating the PCIe configuration space
and supporting generation and reception of System Management Messages by communicating with PCIe
layers.
Each layer is partitioned into dedicated transmit and receive units that allow point-to-point communication
between the host and BCM4706 device. The transmit side processes outbound packets while the receive side
processes inbound packets. Packets are formed and generated in the Transaction and Data Link Layer for
transmission onto the high-speed links and onto the receiving device. A header is added at the beginning to
indicate the packet type and any other optional fields.

Figure 2: PCI Express Layer Model
Transaction Layer Interface

The PCIe core employs a packet-based protocol to transfer data between the host and BCM4706 device,
delivering new levels of performance and features. The upper layer of the PCIe is the Transaction Layer, which
is primarily responsible for assembly and disassembly of transaction layer packets (TLPs). TLP structure
contains header, data payload, and end-to-end CRC (ECRC) fields, which are used to communicate transactions,
such as read and write requests and other events.
A pipelined full split-transaction protocol is implemented in this layer to maximize efficient communication
between devices with credit-based flow control of TLP, which eliminates wasted link bandwidth due to retries.
Data Link Layer

The data link layer serves as an intermediate stage between the transaction layer and the physical layer. Its
primary responsibility is to provide a reliable, efficient mechanism for the exchange of TLPs between two
directly connected components on the link. Services provided by the data link layer include data exchange,
initialization, error detection and correction, and retry services.
Data link layer packets (DLLPs) are generated and consumed by the data link layer. DLLPs are the mechanism
used to transfer link management information between data link layers of the two directly connected
components on the link, including TLP acknowledgement, power management, and flow control.
BROADCOM
June 02, 2010 4706-DS00-R

4/12/2011 DXKOG
Physical Layer
The physical layer of the PCIe provides a handshake mechanism between the data link layer and the high-speed
signaling used for Link data interchange. This layer is divided into the logical and electrical functional subblocks.
Both subblocks have dedicated transmit and receive units that allow for point-to-point communication
between the host and PCIe device. The transmit section prepares outgoing information passed from the data
link layer for transmission, and the receiver section identifies and prepares received information before passing
it to the data link layer. This process involves link initialization, configuration, scrambler, and data conversion
into a specific format.
Logical Subblock
The logical subblocks primary functions are to prepare outgoing data from the data link layer for transmission
and identify received data before passing it to the data link layer.
Scrambler/Descrambler
This PCIe PHY component generates a pseudo-random sequence for scrambling of data bytes and the idle
sequence. On the transmit side, scrambling is applied to characters prior to the 8b/10b encoding. On the
receive side, descrambling is applied to characters after 8b/10b decoding. Scrambling may be disabled in
polling and recovery for testing and debugging purposes.
8B/10B Encoder/Decoder
The PCIe core on the BCM4706 uses an 8b/10b encoder/decoder scheme to provide DC balancing, clock
synchronization and data recovery, and error detection. The transmission code is specified in ANSI X3.2301994, clause 11 and in IEEE 802.3z, 36.2.4.
Using this scheme, 8-bit data characters are treated as 3 bits and 5 bits mapped onto a 4-bit code group and a
6-bit code group, respectively. The control bit in conjunction with the data character is used to identify when
to encode one of the twelve Special Symbols included in the 8b/10b transmission code. These code groups are
concatenated to form a 10-bit Symbol, which is then transmitted serially. Special Symbols are used for link
management, frame TLPs, and DLLPs, allowing these packets to be quickly identified and easily distinguished.
Elastic FIFO
An elastic FIFO is implemented in the receiver side to compensate for the differences between the transmit
clock domain and the receive clock domain, with worst case clock frequency specified at 600 ppm tolerance.
As a result, the transmit and receive clocks can shift one clock every 1666 clocks. In addition, the FIFO
adaptively adjusts the elastic level based on the relative frequency difference of the write and read clock. This
technique reduces the elastic FIFO size and the average receiver latency by half.

10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC Controller
Electrical Subblock
The high-speed signals utilize the common mode logic (CML) signaling interface with on-chip termination and
deemphasis for best in class signal integrity. A deemphasis technique is employed to reduce the effects of
intersymbol interference (ISI) due to the interconnect by optimizing voltage and timing margins for worst case
channel loss. This results in a maximally open eye at the detection point, thereby allowing the receiver to
receive data with an acceptable bit-error rate (BER).
To further minimize ISI, multiple bits of the same polarity that are output in succession are deemphasized.
Subsequent same bits are reduced by a factor of 3.5 dB in power. This amount is specified by PCIe to allow for
maximum interoperability while minimizing the complexity of controlling the deemphasis values. The highspeed interface requires AC coupling on the transmit side to eliminate the DC common mode voltage from the
receiver. The range of AC capacitance allowed is 75 nF to 200 nF.
Configuration Space
The PCIe function in the BCM4706 implements the configuration space as defined in the PCI Express Base
Specification v1.1.
10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC Controller

The BCM4706 integrates a high performance yet flexible Ethernet MAC controller. GMAC port 0 of the
BCM4706 supports the following interfaces through strap pin settings:
RGMII: 10/100/1000 Mbps mode
MII: 10/100 Mbps mode
The BCM4706 supports a second GMAC with SGMII interface in 10/100/1000 Mbps mode. These interfaces can
work with a wide variety of Ethernet PHYs and switches.
In RGMII mode, the bus signals operate at 2.5V, with the exception that the MDIO and MDC pins operate at
3.3V. All the Ethernet MAC controller output pins have built-in series termination so external termination
resistors are not required.
Flash Interface
An on-chip, 16-bit external bus interface (EBI) provides the following connectivity options:
16-bit NOR or NAND flash memory. BCM4706 supports up to 256 MB.
Serial Flash (ST-compatible four-pin SPI interface)
The BCM4706 has two Flash chip select pins so it can support up to two Flash devices in any of the
combinations in the following list:
One parallel Flash
One serial Flash

SPI/UART/GPIO Interface
Two parallel Flash

Two serial Flash
One serial Flash + one parallel Flash (either the serial Flash or parallel Flash can be the boot device)
One serial Flash + NAND Flash (serial Flash must be the boot device to set up the on-chip NAND Flash
controller before it is accessed)
The BCM4706 has 16-bit parallel Flash data pins and supports either an 8-bit or 16-bit parallel Flash through
strap-pin settings when the parallel Flash is the boot device. However, byte-mode configuration should not be
used when 16-bit parallel Flash is used. When the BCM4706 is used in a configuration with two parallel Flash
devices, mixing of 8-bit and 16-bit parallel Flash memory is not supported.
SPI/UART/GPIO Interface
The BCM4706 supports one dedicated two-wire UART interface (UART_TX and UART_RX pins). It can support
one additional UART interface by sharing GPIO pins. The BCM4706 also supports one SPI master. The pin
sharing is enabled by software with the following configuration:
GPIO[3:0] and GPIO[9:8] can be configured as the SPI master interface.
GPIO[7:6] can be configured as the UART interface.
There are 16 3.3V GPIO pins on the BCM4706. These pins can be used to connect to various external devices.
Upon power-up and reset, these pins become tristated. Subsequently, they can be programmed to be either
input or output pins via the GPIO control register.
I8S/TDM Interface
The BCM4706 integrates a Voice/Audio TDM subsystem core that provides support for up to two full-duplex
voice channel conversations or up to eight audio channels for stereo or multichannel music/sound acquisition
or playback applications. The BCM4706 supports various flavors of TDM interface operations to work with
external A/D or D/A devices. The following list contains the possible channel combinations:
Audio/voice output only: one three-wire I8S/TDM interface
Audio/voice input only: one three-wire I8S/TDM interface
Full-duplex audio/voice: two three-wire I8S/TDM interfaces or one four-wire TDM interface

Core and I/O Power Sequencing Requirements
Core and I/O Power Sequencing Requirements

The BCM4706 device requires specific power sequencing between the core and I/O supplies.
The BCM4706 device power sequence requires I/O power (3.3V; 2.5V; 1.8V) to come up first, followed by
the core power (1.2V). The requirement is that the core power (1.2V) should not be on until the I/O power
(3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V) reaches at least 1.0V.
When core power reaches nominal core voltage (1.2V 5%), the I/O power should be stable at nominal I/O
voltage (3.3V 5%, 2.5V 5%, or 1.8V 5%)
The maximum ramp-up time for core power 1.2V (from 0V to nominal voltage 5%) is 2 ms as shown in
figure below.
In addition, for successful power-up, Broadcom recommends that the external hardware reset be asserted for
at least 50 ms after both I/O and core power are stable as shown in Figure 4.
