4.13.2Real Time Clock Input

The RTC clock input is driven by a 1 MHz clock generated by the Control and Timers PLD. This provides a fixed clock reference for the MC864xD PIC timers which software can use as a known timing reference.

4.13.3Local Bus Controller Clock Divisor

The Local Bus Controller (LBC) clock output is connected to the PLD but is not used by the internal logic

4.14Reset Control Logic

There are multiple sources of reset on the MVME7100. The following sources generate a board level reset:

zPower-up

zReset switch

zWatchdog timer

zSystem control register (BRD_RST)

zVMEbus reset

A board level hard reset generates a reset for the entire SBC including the processor, local PCI/PCI-X buses, Ethernet PHYs, serial ports, flash devices, and PLD(s). If the MVME7100 is configured as the VME system controller, the VMEbus and local Tsi148 reset input are also reset.

4.15Real Time Clock Battery

There is an on-board battery holder that provides easy replacement of a +3.0 V button cell lithium battery (BR2325) which provides back-up power to the on-board Real Time Clock. A battery switching circuit provides automatic switching between the +3.3 V and battery voltages.
