Register Description

15:12

Write Thermal Based Power Throttle Control (WTTC): These bits select the Thermal based

 

Power Throttle Bandwidth Limits for Write operations to system memory.

 

R/W, RO if Throttle Lock

 

0h = 85%

 

1h = 70%

 

2h = 65%

 

3h = 60%

 

4h = 55%

 

5h = 50%

 

6h = 45%

 

7h = 40%

 

8h = 35%

 

9h = 30%

 

Ah = 20%

 

B-Fh = Reserved

 

 

11

Counter Based Throttle Lock (CTLOCK): This bit secures RCTC and WCTC. This bit defaults

 

to 0. Once a 1 is written to this bit, RCTC and WCTC (including CTLOCK) become Read-Only.

 

 

10

Thermal Throttle Lock (TTLOCK): This bit secures the DDR SDRAM Throttling Control

 

register. This bit defaults to 0. Once a 1 is written to this bit, all of the configuration register bits

 

in DTC (including TTLOCK) except CTLOCK, RCTC and WCTC become Read-Only.

 

 

9

Thermal Power Throttle Control fields Enable:

 

0 = RTTC and WTTC are not used. RCTC and WTCT are used for both Counter and Thermal

 

based Throttling.

 

1 = RTTC and WTTC are used for Thermal based Throttling.

 

 

8

High Priority Stream Throttling Enable:

 

Normally High Priority Streams are not Throttled when either the counter based mechanism or

 

Thermal Sensor mechanism demands Throttling.

 

0 = Normal operation.

 

1 = Block High priority streams during Throttling.

 

 

7:0

Global DDR SDRAM Sampling Window (GDSW): This 8-bit value is multiplied by 4 to define

 

the length of time in milliseconds (0–1020) over which the number of Octal Words (16 bytes)

 

Read/Written is counted and Throttling is imposed. Note that programming this field to 00h

 

disables system memory throttling.

 

Recommended values are between 0.25 and 0.75 seconds.
