4–52 Cache and External Interfaces
21264/EV68A Hardware Reference Manual
Bcache Port
Table 4–45 lists the combination of control pin assertion for RAM_TYPE B.
Table 4–46 lists the combination of control pin assertion for RAM_TYPE C.
Table 4–47 lists the combination of control pin assertion for RAM_TYPE D.
Notes:
1. The NOP condition for RAM_TYPE B is consistent with bursting nonPentium
style SSRAMs.
2. In both
RAM_TYPE A and RAM_TYPE B, the pins BcDataOE_L and BcTagOE_L
function changes from output-enable control to chip-select control.
3. In both RAM_TYPE C and RAM_TYPE D SSRAMs, the pins
BcDataOE_L and
BcTagOE_L
function as an asynchronous output enable that envelopes the Bcache
read data by providing an extra cycle of output enable.
Using these Cbox CSRs, late-write nonbursting and dual-data rate SSRAMs can be
connected to the 21264/EV68A as described in Appendix E.
