21264/EV68A Microprocessor Features

An onchip, duplicate tag array used to maintain level 2 cache coherency.

A 64-bit data bus with onchip parity and error correction code (ECC) support.

Support for an external second-level (Bcache) cache. The size and some timing parameters of the Bcache are programmable.

An internal clock generator providing a high-speed clock used by the 21264/ EV68A, and two clocks for use by the CPU module.

Onchip performance counters to measure and analyze CPU and system perfor- mance.

Chip and module level test support, including an instruction cache test interface to support chip and module level testing.

A 2.0-V external interface.

Refer to Chapter 9 for 21264/EV68A dc and ac electrical characteristics. Refer to the Alpha Architecture Handbook, Version 4, Appendix E, for waivers and any other implementation-dependent information.
