Features

The “Petra” ASIC supplants the MCECC memory controller ASIC on MVME1X7P boards, performing the memory control functions previously carried out by the MCECC chip: It supplies the programmable interface for the ECC-protected 16/32/64/128MB DRAM emulation.

The following table summarizes the features of the MVME167P and

MVME177P single-board computers.

DRAM

16/32/64/128MB synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). Configurable to emulate

 

4/8/16/32/64/128MB ECC-protected DRAM

 

MVME1X7P boards use SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) in place of DRAM.

 

Up to 64MB SDRAM is available on MVME167P boards; up to 128MB is

 

available on MVME177P boards.
