Introduction

The AMD Geode™ SC2200 processor is a member of the AMD Geode™ family of fully integrated x86 system chips. The SC2200 single-chip processor includes an AMD Geode™ GX1 32-bit x86- compatible processor, a CRT and TFT display processor, core logic, and a Super I/O block. These features, combined with the small form factor and low power consumption, make it ideal as the core of a thin client.

In particular, the SC2200 processor is an optimal solution for thin clients that are integrated into a Flat Panel Display (FPD).

The integrated architecture of the Geode SC2200 processor simplifies system design by reducing component count, the size of the main system board, and overall system power consumption. It can significantly lower overall system costs while improving time-to-market.

Technical Specifications

Primary Components

• The AMD Geode™ SC2200 processor is based on the AMD Geode™ GX1 processor’s integrated core which combines advanced CPU performance with MMX™ support, fully accelerated 2D graphics, a 64-bit synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) interface, and an internal PCI bus controller.
• Low power consumption CRT and TFT display processor, with a hardware video accelerator for scaling, filtering, and color space conversion.
• Core Logic module includes PC AT functionality, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, ACPI 1.0 compliant power management, and an audio codec interface.
• Super I/O block, including two serial ports, an infrared (IR) port, a parallel port, an ACCESS.bus interface, and a Real Time Clock (RTC).

The block diagram above shows the relationships between the functional blocks in the SC2200 processor.
