Introduction

This chapter describes the VMEchip2 ASIC, the local-bus/VMEbus interface chip.

The VMEchip2 interfaces the local bus to the VMEbus. In addition to its VMEbus-defined functions, the VMEchip2 includes a local-bus-to- VMEbus DMA controller, VME board support features, and Global Control and Status Registers (GCSRs) for interprocessor communications.

The following table summarizes the characteristics of the VMEchip2 ASIC.
