21264/EV68A Signal Names and Functions

Table 3–2 21264/EV68A Signal Descriptions (Continued)

Signal

Type

Count

Description

 

 

 

 

FrameClk_H

I_DA_CLK

2

A skew-controlled differential 50% duty cycle copy of the sys-

FrameClk_L

 

 

tem clock. It is used by the 21264/EV68A as a reference, or

 

 

 

framing, clock.

IRQ_H[5:0]

I_DA

6

These six interrupt signal lines may be asserted by the system.

 

 

 

The response of the 21264/EV68A is determined by the system

 

 

 

software.

MiscVref

I_DC_REF

1

Voltage reference for the miscellaneous pins

 

 

 

(see Table 3–3).

PllBypass_H

I_DA

1

When asserted, this signal will cause the two input clocks

 

 

 

(ClkIn_x) to be applied to the 21264/EV68A internal circuits,

 

 

 

instead of the 21264/EV68A global clock (GCLK).

PLL_VDD

2.5 V

1

2.5-V dedicated power supply for the 21264/EV68A PLL.

Reset_L

I_DA

1

System reset. This signal protects the 21264/EV68A from

 

 

 

damage during initial power-up. It must be asserted until

 

 

 

DCOK_H is asserted. After that, it is deasserted and the

 

 

 

21264/EV68A begins its reset sequence.

SromClk_H

O_OD_TP

1

Serial ROM clock. Supplies the clock that causes the SROM to

 

 

 

advance to the next bit. The cycle time for this clock is 256

 

 

 

times the cycle time of the GCLK (internal 21264/EV68A

 

 

 

clock).

SromData_H

I_DA

1

Serial ROM data. Input data line from the SROM.

SromOE_L

O_OD_TP

1

Serial ROM enable. Supplies the output enable to the SROM.

SysAddIn_L[14:0]

I_DA

15

Time-multiplexed command/address/ID/Ack from system to

 

 

 

the 21264/EV68A.

SysAddInClk_L

I_DA

1

Single-ended forwarded clock from system for

 

 

 

SysAddIn_L[14:0] and SysFillValid_L.

SysAddOut_L[14:0]

O_OD

15

Time-multiplexed command/address/ID/mask from the 21264/

 

 

 

EV68A to the system bus.

SysAddOutClk_L

O_OD

1

Single-ended forwarded clock output for

 

 

 

SysAddOut_L[14:0].

SysCheck_L[7:0]

B_DA_OD

8

Quadword ECC check bits for SysData_L[63:0].

SysData_L[63:0]

B_DA_OD

64

Data bus for memory and I/O data.

SysDataInClk_H[7:0]

I_DA

8

Single-ended system-generated clocks for clock forwarded

 

 

 

input system data.

SysDataInValid_L

I_DA

1

When asserted, marks a valid data cycle for data transfers to

 

 

 

the 21264/EV68A.

SysDataOutClk_L[7:0]

O_OD

8

Single-ended 21264/EV68A-generated clocks for clock for-

 

 

 

warded output system data.

SysDataOutValid_L

I_DA

1

When asserted, marks a valid data cycle for data transfers from

 

 

 

the 21264/EV68A.

SysFillValid_L

I_DA

1

When asserted, this bit indicates validation for the cache fill

 

 

 

delivered in the previous system SysDc command.
