ST20-GP1

2 ST20-GP1 architecture overview

The ST20-GP1 consists of an ST20 CPU plus application specific DSP hardware for handling GPS

signals, plus a dual channel UART, 8-bit parallel half-duplex link interface, 6-bit parallel IO, real time

clock and watchdog functions.

Figure 2.1 shows the subsystem modules that comprise the ST20-GP1. These modules are

outlined below and more detailed information is given in the following chapters.

DSP

The ST20-GP1 includes DSP hardware for processing signals from the GPS satellites. The DSP

module generates the pseudo-random noise (prn) signals, and de-spreads the incoming signal.

It consists of a down conversion stage that takes the 4 MHz input signal down to nominally zero

frequency both in-phase and quadrature (I & Q). This is followed by 12 parallel hardware channels

for satellite tracking, whose output is passed to the CPU for further software processing at a

programmable interval, nominally every millisecond.

CPU

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) on the ST20-GP1 is the ST20 32-bit processor core. It contains

instruction processing logic, instruction and data pointers, and an operand register. It directly

accesses the high speed on-chip memory, which can store data or programs. The processor can

access up to 4 Mbytes of memory via the programmable memory interface.
