2KB = 2 kilobytes 4MB = 4 megabytes 8GB = 8 gigabytes

Addresses

=2 × 2 =4 × 2 =8 × 2

bytes

Unless otherwise noted, all addresses and offsets are hexadecimal.

Bit Notation

Multiple-bit fields can include contiguous and noncontiguous bits contained in brackets ([]). Multiple contiguous bits are indicated by a pair of numbers separated by a colon (:). For example, [9:7,5,2:0] specifies bits 9,8,7,5,2,1, and 0. Similarly, single bits are frequently indicated with brackets. For example, [27] specifies bit 27.

Caution

Cautions indicate potential damage to equipment, software, or data.

Data Field Size

The term INTnn, where nn is one of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64, refers to a data field of nn contiguous NATURALLY ALIGNED bytes. For example, INT4 refers to a

NATURALLY ALIGNED longword.

Data Units

The following data-unit terminology is used throughout this manual.

Note

Notes emphasize particularly important information.

Numbering

All numbers are decimal or hexadecimal unless otherwise indicated. The prefix 0x indicates a hexadecimal number. For example, 19 is decimal, but 0x19 and 0x19A are hexadecimal (also see Addresses). Otherwise, the base is indicated by a subscript; for example, 100

Ranges and Extents

is a binary number.

Ranges are specified by a pai r of nu mbers separ ated b y two per iods ( ..) and a re inc lusive. For example, a range of integers 0..4 includes the integers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Extents are specified by a pair of numbers in brackets ([]) separated by a colon (:) and are inclusive. Bit fields are often specified as extents. For example, bits [7:3] specifies bits 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3.

xii

Register figures have bit and field position numbering starting at the right (low order) and increasing to the left (high order).

Memory figures have addresses starting at the top and increasing toward the bottom.

Signal Names

All signal names are printed in boldface type. Signal names that originate in an industry-standard specification, such as PCI or IDE, are printed in the case as found in the specification (usually uppercase). Active-high signals are indicated by the _h suffix. Active-low signals have the _l suffix, a pound sign “#” appended, or a “not”

overscore bar. Signals with no suffix are consider ed high-asserted signals. Fo r exa m ple, signals data_h[127:0] and cia_int are active-high signals. Signals mem_ack_l, FRAME#, and RESET

UNPREDICTABLE and UNDEFINED

are active-low signals.

Throughout this manual the terms UNPREDICTABLE and UNDEFINED are used. Their meanings are quite different and must be carefully distinguished.

In particular, only priv il eg e d sof tw are (th a t is , sof tw a re ru nn ing in ke rnel mod e ) can trigger UNDEFINED operations. Unprivileged software cannot trigger UNDEFINED operations. However, either privileged or unprivi leged softwa re can trigger UNPREDICTABLE results or occurrences.

UNPREDICTABLE results or occurrences do not disrupt the basic operation of the processor. The processor continues to execute instructions in its normal manner. In contrast, UNDEFINED operations can halt the processor or cause it to lose information.

The terms UNPREDICTABLE and UNDEFINED can be further described as follows:

• UNPREDICTABLE

– Results or occurrences specified as UNPREDICTABLE might vary from

moment to moment, impleme ntation to impleme ntation, and instru ction to instruction withi n implement ations. Soft ware can never dep end on resul ts specified as UNPREDICTABLE.

– An UNPREDICTABLE result might acquire an arbitrary value that is

subject to a few constraints. Such a result might be an arbitrary function of the input operands or of any state information that is accessible to the process in its current access mode. UNPREDICTABLE results may be unchanged from their previous values.

Operations that produce UNPREDICTABLE results might also produce exceptions.

12 February 1999 – Subject To Change

xiii

Page 14

– An occurrence specified as UNPREDICTABLE may or may not happen

based on an arbitrary choice function. The choice function is subject to the same constraints as are UNPREDICTABLE results and must not constitute a security hole.

Specifically, UNPREDICTABLE results must not depend upon, or be a function of, the co ntents of memo ry loca tions or r egist ers t hat ar e inac cessible to the current process in the current access mode.

Also, operations that migh t pr odu ce UNPREDI CTABLE results must not write or modify the con tents of memor y locations or registers to which the current process in the current access mode does not have access. They must also not halt or hang the system or any of its components.

For example, a security hole would exist if some UNPREDICTABLE result depended on the value of a register in another process, on the contents of processor te mp ora ry r eg is ter s l ef t behi nd by some previously running process, or on a sequence of actions of different processes.

• UNDEFINED

– Operati ons spe cifi ed as UNDEFINED can vary from moment to moment ,

implementation to implementation, and i nstruction to instruction w ithin implementations. The operation can vary in effect from nothing, to stopping system operation.

xiv

– UNDEFINED operations can halt the processor or cause it to lose infor-

mation. However, UNDEFINED operations must not cause the processor to hang, that is, reach an unhalted state from which there is no transition to a normal state in which the machine executes instructions. Only privileged software (that is, software running in kernel mode) can trigger UNDEFINED operations.

System Components and Features

AlphaPC 264DP Introduction

This chapter prov ides a n overv iew of the Alp haPC 2 64DP syst em, includi ng its c omponents, features, and uses.

The AlphaPC 264DP system consists of an AlphaPC 264DP mainboard (mainboard) and one or two AlphaPC 264DP daughtercards (daughtercards). The daughtercard consists of the 21264 microprocessor, L2 cache, reset field programmable gate array (reset FPGA), and power converters for 2.2 volts and 1.5 volts.

1.1 System Components and Features

The AlphaPC 264DP is implemented in industry-standard parts and uses one or two 21264 CPUs running at 500 MHz. The functional components are shown in

Figure 1–1 and introduced in the following subsections.

The 72-bit, 100-MHz DIMMs consist of 64 bits of data and 8 bits of ECC, and can be 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, or 256MB. The minimum conf iguration (one array populated with four 32MB DIMMs) is 128MB. The maximum configuation (four arrays each populated with four 256MB DIMMs) is 4GB.

The memory cycle time is 83 MHz, identical to the 21272 cycle time.

Note: Although the memory cycle time is 83 MHz, qualified 100-MHz

DIMMs are r equired.

1.1.2 21272 Core Logic Chipset

The 21264 is supported by the 21272, with a 256-bit memory interface. The 21272 consists of the following three chips:

1–2 AlphaPC 264DP Introduction

12 February 1999 – Subject To Change

Page 17

• The Cchip provides the interface from the CPU and main memory, and includes

a general-purpose int erface for the fla sh ROM and interrupts (TI Gbus Interface). One Cchip is used per system.

• The Dchip provides the data path from the CPU to memory and I/O. Two, four,

or eight Dchips can be used in a system configuration. Eight Dchips provide two 256-bit memory bus interfaces on the AlphaPC 264DP.

• The Pchip provides a n i nt erf ace to the periphe ra l component interconne ct (PCI).

One or two Pchips can be used in a system configuration. Two Pchips can be used to provide two independent 64-bit PCI buses. AlphaPC 264DP uses two Pchips to support two 64-bit PCI buses running at 33 MHz.

The chipset includes the majority of functions required to develop a high-performance PC or workstation, requiring minimum discrete logic on the module. It provides flexible and generic functions to allow its use in a wide range of systems.

1.1.3 CPU Daughtercard

The 21264 microprocessor and level 2 cache reside on a separate daughtercard that plugs into the mainboard. One or two daughtercards can be used in an AlphaPC 264DP system. The daughtercard is a 10-layer printed-circuit board with dimen-

sions of approximately 14 .99 cm × 30.48 cm (5.905 in × 12.0 in). The daughtercard consists of the following :

System Components and Features

• 21264 CPU

• Synchronous level 2 cache (2MB or 4MB cache, using late-write cache

SSRAMs)

• A linear regulator, providing 3.3 volts to 1.5 volts conversion for SSRAMs

• dc-to-dc converter for 5 volts to 2.2 volts for 21264 core power

• Reset and configuration FPGA

• Presence detect for cache configuration and CPU speed

• 512KB flash ROM used as SROM

• SROM test port

• 270-pin interface to mainboa rd (system clock forwarding interface and misc el la -

neous signals)

System Components and Features

1.1.3.1 Level 2 Cache Subsystem Overview

The external level 2 (L2) cache subsystem on the daughtercard supports 2MB or 4MB cache sizes using a 128-bit data bus.

The AlphaPC 264DP supports L2 cache using the synchronous SRAM (SSRAM)

sizes shown in Table 1–1. Nine SSRAMs are required per daught ercard f or 4MB L2 cache and five SSRAMs are re quired per daughtercard f or 2MB L2 c ache. In a dualprocessor system, cache sizes must be the same across the two daughtercards. The first implementation of the daughtercard uses late-write SSRAMs.

Table 1–1 L2 Cache Size

L2 Cache Size SRAM Type

2MB Four 128KB × 36 data SSRAMs and one 128KB × 36 tag SSRAM 4MB Eight 256KB × 18 data SSRAMs and one 128KB × 36 tag SSRAM

1.1.3.2 21264 DC-to-DC Converter

The dc-to-dc converter is a 3.0 × 2.2 × 1.4-inch module that is mounted on the daughtercard. It delivers 2.2 volts to the 21264. The features include:

• Programmable voltage between 1.5 volts and 2.5 volts

• Remote sense

• Overvoltage protection

• Current limit and short circuit protection

• Thermal shutdown

1.1.4 Clock Subsystem

The clock subsystem provides c locks t o the CPU, 2127 2, SDRAM DIMMs, and PCI devices. A PC clock generator provides clocks for the SCSI, ISA, and combination chip functions.

1.1.5 PCI Interface

The PCI interface provides a PCI speed of 33 MHz. The Cypress CY82C693UB (southbridge) provides the following:

• PCI-to-ISA b ridge

• PCI to IDE in terface

• Real-time clock support

• Mouse and keyboard controller

The PCI to SCSI interface is derived from the Adaptec AIC7895 controller (AIC7895). The AIC7895 supports two separated ultrawide SCSI ports.

The PCI has five dedicated 64-bit slots and one shared 64-bit slot. The one shared slot also provides a 16-bit ISA expansion slot. Six expansion slots in total are sup-

ported—six PCI, or five PCI and one ISA. The two PCI buses are configured as follows:

• PCI bus 0: contains Pchip0, southbridge, Adaptec SCSI, and three 64-bit expan-

sion slots

System Components and Features

• PCI bus 1: contains Pchip1 and three 64-bit expansion slots

1.1.6 ISA Interface

The ISA bus provides an expansion bus and the following system support functions:

• The ISA bus has one shared expansion slot with the PCI.

• An SMC FDC37C669 super I/O controller chip is used as the combination con-

troller chip that provides a diskette controller, two universal, asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs) for com ports, and a parallel port.

1.1.7 IDE Interface

The integrated drive electronics (IDE) provides an additional expansion bus, with one connector on the mainboard.

Note: Only CD-ROMs with an IDE cable length of 12 inches or less are sup-

ported.

System Configuration and Connectors

2.1 Board Layouts and Components

The AlphaPC 264DP uses switches to implement variations in clock frequency (21272 and 21264) and L2 ca che configur ation. Note that the swi tches for the 21264 speed and L2 cache configuration are on the daughtercard. The switches for the 21272 speed are on the ma inboar d. These switch es must b e confi gured f or the user’s environment. Onboard connectors are provided for the I/O, memory DIMMs, serial and parallel peripherals, and IDE devices.

After the board is configured, you can apply power and start up the firmware that is loaded in the flash ROM.

2.2 AlphaPC 264DP Mainboard Configuration Switches

The AlphaPC 264DP mainboard has two sets of programmable switches located at

SW2 and SW3, as shown in Figure 2–1. These switches set the hardware configuration.

Note: There is no switchpack SW1 on production mainboards.

Figures 2–3 and 2–4 reflect the mainboard switches.

2.2.1 Fail-Safe Booter

The Fail-Safe Booter (FSB) utility provides an emergency recovery mechanism when the primary firmware image contained in flash memory has been corrupted. When flash memory has been c orrupt ed, and no image can be loade d safel y from t he flash ROM, you can run the FSB and boot another image from a diskette that is capable of reprogramming the flash ROM.

2.2.2 Memory Timing

The memory bus timing is controlled by switches 2 and 3 of SW2 on the mainboard

(see Figure 2–3). Both switches are off by default, and they must be kept off.

2.2.3 Mini-Debugger

The Alpha SROM Mini-Debugger is stored in the flash ROM and is enabled/ disabled by switch 4 of SW2 on th e mainboar d (see Fi gure 2–3). The def ault posit ion for this switch is of f. When this switch is on, it causes the SROM init ializatio n to trap to the Mini-Debugger after all initialization is complete, but before starting the execution of the system flash ROM code.

AlphaPC 264DP Mainboard Configuration Switches

2.2.4 Password Bypass

AlphaBIOS provides password protection. However, if the use of passwords has been enabled and you have forgotten the current password, password bypass is provided through the use of switch 8 (pby) of SW2 on the mainboard.

Normal operation, with switch 8 in the off position (see Figure 2–3), requires a password. The password bypass function is enabled by setting the switch to the on position. This disables t he Alph aBIOS pas swor d ver if ic ati on and enables the user to set up or start up their system without the AlphaBIOS password. Password bypass also clears the password.

After this function has been enabled, to disable it and require a password, set switch 8 to the off position.

2.2.5 Flash Write Protection

The AlphaPC 264DP provides write protection for the firmware flash ROM. By default, writing to the flash ROM is allowed, that is, switch 8 (flash_wr) of SW3 on

the mainboard is off (see Figure 2–4).

Note: The AlphaPC 264DP will not function if switch 8 is in the on position.

2.2.6 21272 Speed

The speed of the 21272 core logic chipset is determined by switches 5–7 of SW2. The default positi ons are 5 and 6 on , 7 of f. These s witches mus t be kept in the de fault position.

The AlphaPC 264DP daughtercard has one switchpack, located at SW2, as shown previously in Fig ure 2–2. These switches set the hardware configurati on. Fi gur e 2 –5 shows these switch configurations.

Note: There is no switchpack SW1 on production daughtercards. Onboard

resistors set the configuration (cache size, CPU speed, and flash ROM use) to the default state.

21272 Core Logic Chipset Introduction

Functional Description

This chapter describes the fu nction al opera tion of the AlphaPC 264DP. It introdu ces the 21272 core logic chipset (21272) and describes its implementation with the 21264 microprocessors and their supporting memory and I/O devices.

Information, such as bus timing and protocol, found in other specifications, data sheets, and reference documentation is not duplicated here.

Note : For detailed descriptions of chipset logic, operations, and transactions,

refer to the 21272 chips’ specification. For details of the PCI interface, refer to the PCI System Design Guide and the PCI Local Bus Specifica- tion.

4.1 21272 Core Logic Chipset Introduction

The 21272 provides a solution for designers developing uniprocessor or dual-processor systems using the 21264 microprocessor. The chipset provides a 256-bit memory interface and includes the following three gate arrays:

• Cchip: Address and commands, 432-pin ESBGA

• Dchip: Data path, 304-pin ESBGA

• Pchip: PCI interface, 304-pin ESBGA

Cchip Functional Overview

4.2 Cchip Functional Overview

The Cchip provides the control interface between the 21264 and 21272 chipset. In addition, it provides control for the Dchips and Pchips. It also controls the memory subsystem and TIGbus. The Cchip performs the following functions:

• Maintains queues to store addresses and commands

• Controls and moves data to and from arrays of main memory

• Responds to commands from the CPU

• Supports interrupts and flash ROM via the TIGbus

On the AlphaPC 264DP, the Cchip controls four arrays of SDRAM DIMMs. The DIMMs can range in size from 32MB to 256MB. Note that there are two separate 256-bit paths and four arrays (two on each bus) on the AlphaPC 264DP.

The components of th e memory subsy stem are dist ributed between th e Cchip and the Dchips. Together, the chips serve as an interface between the CPU and memory

subsystem (see Figure 4–1). The following list summarizes the major features of the Cchip:

• Accepts requests from the Pchip and CPU

• Orders the arriving requests

• Selects the request and issues controls to the DRAMs

• Issues probes to the CPU for the selected requests

• Translates CPU PIO address to PCI and CSR addresses

• Issues commands to the Pchip for the selected request

• Issues responses to the Dchip for the DRAM accesses, the probe, and Pchip

responses

• Controls the TIGbus to manage interrupts and maintains CSRs, including those

that represent interrupt status

4.2.1 CPU Interface

The CPU and Cchip communicate wi th each other through the system port. The system port is made up of unidirec tional address and command buses. The Cchip sys tem interface logic decodes the sysPort address for both CPU and DMA requests to determine the action to take. It supports cacheable memory accesses, programmed I/O, interrupts, Tig addresses, as well as accesses to 21272 CSR space.

4.2.2 Memory Controller

This section summarizes memory organization and memory controller features.

4.2.2.1 Memory Organization

The Cchip supports up to four a rr ays of SDRAM ( Arra y 0–3 ), wher e ea ch array consists of four DIMMs. The AlphaPC 264DP has four 256-bit arrays.

Memory is accessed at 256 bits; however, because the AlphaPC 264DP must use ECC, 288 bits are required. The maximum memory that is supported on the AlphaPC 264DP is 4GB using 256MB DIMMs (16 total).

4.2.2.2 Programmable Memory Timing

The memory control state machine performs its sequence of steps through all memory transactions. On memory read and write transactions, it communicates with the Dchips so that data may be latched from the memdata bus or driven onto the memdata bus respectively.

4.2.2.3 General-Purpose Logic

The Cchip provides an interface to logic such as presence detection, flash ROM, interrupts, and configuration through the TIGbus. The addresses of these devices and the data are transferred over the TigData lines. The TIGbus interface is implemented using a Quicklogic 2005-1PF FPGA.

Dchip Functional Overview

4.3 Dchip Functional Overview

This section provides a functional overview of the Dchips and describes the following data bus configurations:

• sysdata bus, between the Dchips and the CPUs

• memdata bus, between the Dchips and the memory arrays

• padbus, between the Dchips and the Pchips

The Dchips provide the data path from the 21264 to main memory. Although a minimum of two chips are required f or the memo ry interf ace using the 21272, eigh t chips are used for the interface on the AlphaPC 264DP.

The chips contain the CPU, Pchip, and memory interface data paths, which includes DMA and PIO queues.

The Dchips interface to the CPU using the sysdata bus. It interfaces with each Pchip through the 32-bit padbus (communications path between the Pchip and Dchips, padbus0 to Pchip0 and padbus1 to Pchip1). The Dchips function as the data path for the CPU, memory, and I/O subsystem, and contain the fol lowing data path functi ons :

• DMA write data/PIO read data queue

• DMA read data/PIO write data queue

• Queues to allow full bandwidth transfers from memory to the CPU

• Queue to hold old memory data to be merged with the Pchip data for DMA

writes

4.3.1 Sysdata Bus

The sysdata bus, between the Dchips and each CPU, passes 128 bits of data (64 bits [8 bytes] from each CPU). It is connected as follows:

• Dchip 0 connects to each of the two byte 0s.

• Dchip 1 connects to each of the two byte 1s.

• Dchip 7 connects to each of the two byte 7s.

Note: The bytes correspond to the bytes from CPU0 and CPU1.

4.3.2 Memdata Bus

There are two memdata buses, each of which is a 256-bit, bidirectional bus between the Dchips and the memory arr ays. Memda ta0 con nects t o arra ys 0 and 2; memdata1 connects to arrays 1 and 3 (see Figure 4–1).

Each Dchip sends/receives four bytes of data that it has accumulated to/from the memory arrays. The connections are as follows:

• Dchip0 connects to bytes 0,8,16,24

• Dchip1 connects to bytes 1,9,17,25

• Dchip2 connects to bytes 2,10,18,26

• Dchip3 connects to bytes 3,11,19,27

• Dchip4 connects to bytes 4,12,20,28

The padbus is a 32-bit data bus that allows a Pchip and the Dchips to pass data back and forth. If there are two Pchips, then padbus0 (32 bits) connects to Pchip0 and padbus1 (32 bits) connects to Pchip1. The chips are connected in the following manner:

• Dchip0 connects to nibble 0, padbus0 and nibble 0, padbus1.

• Dchip1 connects to nibble 2, padbus0 and nibble 2, padbus1.

• Dchip2 connects to nibble 4, padbus0 and nibble 4, padbus1.

• Dchip3 connects to nibble 6, padbus0 and nibble 6, padbus1.

• Dchip4 connects to nibble 1, padbus0 and nibble 1, padbus1.

• Dchip5 connects to nibble 3, padbus0 and nibble 3, padbus1.

• Dchip6 connects to nibble 5, padbus0 and nibble 5, padbus1.

• Dchip7 connects to nibble 7, padbus0 and nibble 7, padbus1.

Pchip Functional Overview

4.4 Pchip Functional Overview

The Pchip is the bridge between th e PCI and the CPU and its cac he and memory, and the chip interface protocol is compliant w ith the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revi- sion 2.1. The Pchip contains all control functions of the bridge and some data path functions. Other data path functions reside in the Dchip.

Two Pchips are used on the AlphaPC 264DP to provide two separate 64-bit PCI buses.

The Pchip provides all controls and interfaces to the PCI and contains the following components and functions:

• Single 64-bit PCI bus implemented at 33 MHz

• PCI central arbiter (disa bled on Pchip0)

• DMA write buffer

• Scatter-gather translation lookaside buffer (TLB)

• Downsteam and upstream queues for address and data

4.4.1 PCI Interface

The PCI interface of the Pchip is a fully compliant PCI h ost bridge. It ac ts as a master on the PCI on CPU-initiated transactions and is a target on memory space transactions initiated by PCI mast ers.

The Pchip is not a PCI peripheral; it is a bridge between the PCI peripherals and memory. The chip implements functions of a host bridge that are not sufficient to interface the chip as a PCI peripheral component.

4.5 Clock Subsystem

The system clocks can be divided into five areas:

• Input clocks required by the CPU/system

• Clock forwarding to/from the system logic

• Memory system

• PCI system

• Miscellaneous oscillators and clocks required for the peripheral interfaces and

functions

4.5.1 CPU and System Clock Generation

There is a crystal for 32.768 KHz, and ot her cloc ks ar e provided through a PC clock generator chip. A 14.1818-KHz crystal is used as the input clock for the PC clock generator.

A 32.768-KHz crystal provides input to the TOY function of the southbridge. A 14.3-MHz oscillator (69.9-ns period) output is buffered from the PC clock genera-

tor to the ho st PCI-to-IS A bridge and the three ISA slots. This i s the standard

14.31818-MHz ISA clock.

4.6.1 PCI0

The PCI0 supports the southbridge chip, three PCI slots, and the SCSI chip.

4.6.1.1 Southbridge Chip

The southbridge provides the bridge between the PCI bus and the Industry Standard Architectu re (ISA) bus. The southb ridge incorporates the logic for the following:

• A PCI interface (master and slave)

• An ISA interface (master and slave) (see Section 4.8)

• Enhanced 7-channel DMA controller that supports DMA transfers and scatter-

gather, and data buffers to isolate the PCI bus from the ISA bus

PCI Devices

• An IDE interface, with a maximum cable length of 12 inch es

• A 14-level interrupt controller

• A 16-bit BIOS timer

• Three programmable timer counters

• Non-maskab le interrupt (NMI) control logic

• Decoding and control for utility bus peripheral devices

• Speaker driver

• PCI arbitration control (disabled on AlphaPC 264DP). Refer to the Cypress

hyperCache chipset databook for additional information.

4.6.1.2 PCI0 Expansion Slots

Three PCI bus expansion slot s are available on PCI0, with support for 64- bit devices. Note that 3.3 V and +5 V are provided to the appropriate PCI connector pins.

4.6.1.3 PCI SCSI Interface

The Adaptec AIC7895 is used as a bridge from PCI to SCSI. The AIC7895 has two ultra SCSI ports and is packaged in a 208-pin plastic quad flat pack (PQFP). Both ports support ultrawide SCSI devices. Note that parity must be disabled for the SRAM that attaches to the AIC7895.

4.6.2 PCI1

Three PCI bus expansio n slots are available on P CI1, with one slot shared with the ISA. All three sl ots suppo rt 64-bi t devic es. Note that 3.3 V and +5 V are pr ovided to the appropriate PCI connector pins.

4.6.3 PCI Arbitration

Arbitration logic is implemented in the Pchips, and the scheme is flexible and software programmable. Note, however , that Pchip1 handl es the arbitrat ion for PCI1, but the TIGbus FPGA is the arbiter for PCI0. The arbitratio n logic in the sout hbridge and in Pchip0 is disabled.

PCI0 Arbitration Scheme

The arbitration is controlled by the TIGbus FPGA, using a dual round-robin priority scheme. There are two rings, A and B, wit h the scheme shown i n Figure 4–3. Ring A

has a round-robin priority between Pchip0, SCSI controller, slot 0, and the designated device from ring B. Ring B has a round-robin priority between slot 2, slot 1, the southbridge bridge request, and the southbridge USB request.

4.7 PCI and System Interrupts

Interrupt logic is implemented in the Cchip and the FPGA. The interrupt lines from the PCI slots, southbridge chip, and SCSI chip are connected directly to the IRQ buffers that reside on the TigData bus. They are driven onto the TigData bus by the encoded TIGADR signals. The AlphaPC 264DP has 34 interr upt s tha t ar e shown in

Figure 4–4. All PCI interrupts are combined in the Cchip and driven out onto the TIGbus. There

is also a Cchi p error interrupt and an I/O c ontroller error interrupt within the Cchip. The CPU interrupt assignment, during normal operation, is listed in Table 4–2. The Cchip Tig controller polls interrupts continuously except when any other TIG-

bus access is requested. The 48 interrupt inputs (34 enabled, 14 reserved) implemented on the AlphaPC 264DP are polled eight at a time by selecting a byte using tigadr[2:0] and asserting TigIntOE to allow the selected byte to be driven on the TIGbus. Once all the interrupts are polled, the Cchip drives the irq[3:0] data to the two CPUs on to tigdata[7:0] and asserts TigIS to strobe it to the flip flop th at drives it into the CPU.

DC Power Distribution

4.8.1 Super I/O Controller

The AlphaPC 264DP uses the SMC FDC37C669 as the combination controller chip

(see Table 2–1 and Figure 2–1). It is packaged i n a 100-p in PQFP config urati on. The chip provides the following ISA peripheral functions:

• Diskette controller – Software compatible with the Intel PC8477 (contains a

superset of the Intel DP8473 and NEC PD765 and the Intel N82077 FDC functions). The onchip analog data separator requires no external filter components and supports the 4Mb drive format and 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch diskette drives. FDC data and control lines are brought out to a standard 34-pin connector. A ribbon cable interfaces the connector to one or two diskette drives.

• Serial ports – Two UARTs with modem control, compatible with NS16450 or

PC16550, are brought out to separate onboard, 10-pin connectors. The lines can be brought out thr ough 9-pin female D-sub co nnec tors on the bulkhead of a st andard PC enclosure.

• Parallel port – The bi direc tiona l p arall el po rt is br ought out to an onboard 25-pi n

connector. It can be brought out through a 25-pin female D-sub connect or on the bulkhead of a standard PC enclosure.

Refer to the SMC FDC37C669 specification for further information (including timing, electrical characteristics, and mechanical data).

4.8.2 ISA Expansion Slot

One ISA expansion slot is provided for plug-in ISA peripherals. This slot is shared with the PCI and can be used for a PCI or ISA device.

4.9 DC Power Distribution

The AlphaPC 264DP derives its system power from a user-supplied power supply. The power supply must provide +1 2 V dc, −12 V dc, −5 V dc, +5 V dc, 5VSB dc and

3.3 V dc. The dc power is supplied through two power connectors on the mainboard (J3 and J33) and one on the daughter card (J4). Power is distribu ted to the board log ic through dedicated power planes within the 12-layer board structure. Power is distributed to the daughtercard through the connector and dedicated 18-pin power connector from the power supply.

DC Power Distribution

Figure 4–5 shows that t he +12 V dc , −12 V dc, + 5 V dc, and −5 V dc are sup pli ed to ISA connector J47. The +12 V dc and −12 V dc are supplied to the PCI connectors J35, J40–42, J44, and J46, and to the two daughtercard connectors J18 and J23. The +12 V dc is also supplied to the fan box connectors J2, J15, J22, and J24.

In addition to the ISA connector, +5.0 V dc is supplied to the PCI connectors and to most of the board’s integrated circuits.

The +3.3 V dc is provided to the PCI slots, the 21272 core lo gic chipse t, the DIMMs, the daughtercard connectors, and the linear regulator that provides the 2.0-V termination voltage to the mainboard and the daughtercard connectors.

The power supply also provides 5 VSB to the comm port (J19) and soft power. Figure 4–5 also shows that the daught ercard re ceives +5 V dc from the power sup ply

and distributes it to the dc-to-dc converter and miscellaneous logic on the card. The daughtercard edge connector (J3) provides the following voltages from the mainboard:

• +3.3 V for the SSRAMs, miscellaneous logic on the card, and for the linear reg-

ulator for conversion to 1.5 V for SSRAM I/O

• +12 V for fan power and RS-232 logic

• –12 V for RS-232 logic

• +2.0 V for termination logic

5.1 Memory Subsystem

The DRAM memory subsystem on the AlphaPC 264DP consists of sixteen 200-pin buffered DIMM slots, which are organized as four arrays of memory. The 21272 chipset supports t wo 256-bit me mory buses (288-b it i ncludi ng ECC) with t wo arr ays

on each bus (see Figure 5–1). The 72-bit, 100-MHz DIMMs consist of 64 bits of data and 8 bits of ECC, and can

be 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, or 256MB. The minimum conf iguration (one array populated with four 32MB DIMMs) is 128MB. The maximum configuation (four arrays each populated with four 256MB DIMMs) is 4GB.

Memory Subsystem

The memory cycle time is 83 MHz, identical to the 21272 chipset cycle time.

Note: Although the memory cycle time is 83 MHz, qualified 100-MHz

DIMMs are r equired.

5.3 System Address Mapping

This section describes the mapping of the processor physical address space into memory and I/O space addresses. It also includes the translations of the processorinitiated address into a PCI address, and PCI-initiated addresses into physical memory addresses.

5.3.1 CPU Address Mapping to PCI Space

The physical sysbus address space is composed of the following:

• Memory address space

• Local I/O space, for registers residing on the sysbus (that is, registers in the

Cchip, Dchips, and Pchips)

• PCI space

The PCI defines four physical address spaces, as follows:

• PCI memory space (for memory residing on the PCI)

• PCI I/O space

• PCI configuration space

• PCI interrupt acknowledge cycles /PCI special cycles

Refer to the 21272 functional specification for details in this area.
