Unit Name Description Comment
Microengine Microengines internal.
Internal
Buses
Command/Push/Pull interface of
DRAM, SRAM, Intel XScale® core,
Peripheral, MSF, and PCI Units.
1/2 Microengine frequency.
Intel
XScale®
core
Intel XScale® core microprocessor,
caches, microprocessor side of
Gasket.
1/2 of Microengine frequency.
DRAM
DRAM pins and control logic (all of
DRAM unit except Internal Bus
interface).
Divide of Microengine frequency. All DRAM channels
use the same frequency. Clocks are driven by the
IXP2800 Network Processor to external DRAMs.
