SYSTEM INTERFACE
Figure2 shows the major components of a UPA based uniprocessor system. The system controller [1] for the
UPAbus arbitrates between the UltraSPARC™–II,400 MHz CPU, 4.0 Mbyte module, and the I/O bridge chip.
The figure also illustrates a slave-only UPA graphics port for Sun graphics boards.
The module UPA system interface signals run at one-quarter of the rate of the internal CPU frequency.
UPA Connector Pins
TheUPA edge connector provides impedance control. The pin assignments are shown with the physical mod-
ule connector and are represented on page 24 and page 25.
UPA Interconnect
The UltraSPARC™–II, 400 MHz CPU, 4.0 Mbyte module, (SME5224AUPA-400), supports full master and
slave functionality with a 128-bit data bus and a 16-bit error correction code (ECC).
All signals that interface with the system are compatible with LVTTL levels. The clock inputs at the module
connector, CPU_CLK, UPA_CLK0, and UPA_CLK1, are differential low-voltage PECL compatible.
1. Only two megabytes of external cache are recognized and supported when using the
Dual Processor System Controller (DSC, Marketing Part No.STP2202ABGA).
