FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

4.11.1
DRAM Controller
The slave QUICC device provides the necessary control signals for the DRAM module. The debugger on
the M68360QUADS-040 reads the presence detect pins (SIMM1 - SIMM4) of the SIMM found in the status
register and sets the DRAM Controller parameters according to the DRAM module’s size and access time.
The available combinations of the presence detect pins are described in TABLE 4-1.
The hardware connection of the slave QUICC to the DRAM module is straight-forward. Since the slave
QUICC doesn’t support address multiplexing for external masters, external address multiplexers are used
to drive the DRAM address lines.
4.11.2
Chip Select TA~ and DSACK~ Generator
The slave QUICC device provides the Chip Select signals for the DRAM, EPROM, bursting EPROM, and
bursting SRAM on the ADS. It also generates the TA~ signal for the 68EC040 during master accesses and
DSACK~ signals for the QUICC during internal accesses, this, according to the access time of the devices
and the working frequency of the board. No external logic is required for the connection of the slave QUICC
to the devices.
4.11.3
ADI Port
The ADI parallel port supplies the parallel link from the M68360QUADS-040 to various host computers.
This port is connected via a 37 line cable to a special board called ADI (Application Development Interface)
installed in the host computer. Two versions of the ADI board are available to support connection to IBM-
PC/XT/AT and SUN-4 SPARC stations. It is possible to connect the M68360QUADS-040 board to these
computers provided that the appropriate software drivers are installed on them.
Each M68360QUADS-040 can have 8 possible slave addresses set for its ADI port, enabling up to 8
M68360QUADS-040 boards to be connected to the same ADI board.
