parity-checked synchronous L2 cache. The Model 150 also features an
enhanced memory controller that uses ECC SDRAM memory.
The local system bus on the RS/6000 Model 150 is a 60X bus running at 83
MHz. This bus is 64 bits wide (with an additional 8 bits for parity) and is
synchronous. The processor clock and regulator card reside as one unit,
namely the OVdd/Vdd/PLL card. This is illustrated in the planar design of the
Model 150 in Figure 8.

In the Model 150, the 60X bus runs from the PowerPC 604e processor and
connects to an enhanced memory controller chip, which has a processor
