Features
The PC107A provides an integrated high-bandwidth, high-performance interface
between up to two 60x processors, the PCI bus, and main memory. This section sum-
marizes the features of the PC107A. Major features of the PC107A are as follows:
Memory Interface
–
64-/32-bit 100 MHz bus
–
Programmable timing supporting either FPM DRAM, EDO DRAM or SDRAM
–
High-bandwidth bus (32-/64-bit data bus) to DRAM
–
Supports one to eight banks of 4-, 16-, 64-, or 128-Mbit memory devices,
and up to four banks of 256 Mbit SDRAM devices
–
Supports 1M byte to 1 Gbyte DRAM memory
–
144M bytes of ROM space
–
8-, 32-, or 64-bit ROM
–
Write buffering for PCI and processor accesses
–
Supports normal parity, read-modify-write (RMW), or ECC
–
Data-path buffering between memory interface and processor
–
Low-voltage TTL logic (LVTTL) interfaces
–
Port X: 8-, 32-, or 64-bit general-purpose I/O port using ROM controller
interface with programmable address strobe timing
32-bit PCI Interface Operating up to 66 MHz
–
PCI 2.1-compliant
–
PCI 5.0V tolerance
–
Support for PCI locked accesses to memory
–
Support for accesses to PCI memory, I/O, and configuration spaces
–
Selectable big- or little-endian operation
–
Store gathering of processor-to-PCI write and PCI-to-memory write
accesses
–
Memory prefetching of PCI read accesses
–
Selectable hardware-enforced coherency
–
PCI bus arbitration unit (five request/grant pairs)
–
PCI agent mode capability
–
Address translation unit
–
Some internal configuration registers accessible from PCI
Two-channel Integrated DMA Controller (Writes to ROM/Port
