MU9C Binary Routing Coprocessor (RCP) Family General Description

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MU9C RCP family consists of 4K and 8K x 64-bit

Routing Coprocessors (RCPs) with a 32-bit wide data interface. The device is designed for use in layer 2 switches to provide very high throughput address

translation using tables held in external RAM. The MU9C

RCP has a fully deterministic search time, independent of the size of the list and the position of the data in the list. This unique feature guarantees that the wire speed address recognition does not impact the latency or induce some jitter on the latency of the global system. Address fields from the packet header are compared against a list of entries stored in the array. As a result of the comparison,

the MU9C RCP generates an index that is used to access

an external RAM where port mapping data and other associated information is stored.

A set of control states provides a powerful and flexible

control interface to the MU9C RCP. This control structure

allows memory read and write, register read and write, data move, comparison, validity control, addressing control, and initialization operations.

The MU9C RCP architecture uses direct hardware control

of the device and an independent bus for returning match results. Software control is also supported for systems where maximum performance is not needed.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

The MU9C RCP is designed to act as an address translator

for lookup tables in layer 2 switches. Refer to Figure 2 for a simplified block diagram of a switch. During normal operation, the controller extracts the address information from an arriving packet to form the comparand, which is

then compared against the contents of the MU9C RCP. The MU9C RCP generates an index that is used to access

the data in an external RAM, which holds the destination port for accessing the network. The controller reads the data from the RAM and forwards the packet.

The validity of a location in the Address Database is determined by an extra bit called the Validity bit. This bit is set and reset either with an index or an associative match. Therefore, when a new entry is written to the database, its Validity bit is set valid.

The index at which a write takes

place is driven onto the PA:AA bus, so that output port data can be written simultaneously into the external RAM at the correct index.

When a database location is deleted, the Validity bit for that entry is reset, and the index of the location is driven onto the Active Address bus. This simple mechanism allows easy maintenance of the tables in both the database and the external RAM.

The MU9C RCP supports simple daisy chained vertical

cascading that serves to prioritize multiple devices and provides system-level match and full indication. If the slight timing overhead associated with the daisy chain is

unacceptable, the MU9C RCP is designed to facilitate

external prioritization across multiple devices.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

Note: Signal names that start with a slash (“/”) are active LOW. All signals are 3.3V CMOS level. Never leave inputs floating. The CAM architecture draws large currents during compare operations, mandating the use of good layout and bypassing techniques. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for more information.

DQ31–0 (Data Bus, Three-state, Common Input/ Output)

The DQ31–0 lines convey data to and from the MU9C

RCP. When the /E input is HIGH the DQ31–0 lines are held in their high-impedance state. The /W input determines whether data flows to or from the device on the DQ31–0 lines. The source or destination of the data is determined by the AC bus, DSC, and the /AV line. During a Write cycle, data on the DQ31–0 lines is registered by the falling edge of /E.

AC12–0/AC11–0 (Address/Control Bus, Input)

When Hardware control is selected, the AC bus conveys

address or control information to the MU9C RCP,

depending on the state of the /AV input. When /AV is LOW then the AC bus carries an address; when /AV is HIGH the AC bus carries control information. Data on the AC bus is registered by the falling edge of /E. When

software control is selected, the state of the AC bus does not affect the operation of the device.

DSC (Data Segment Control, Input)

When DQ bus access to a 64 bit register or memory word is performed, the DSC input determines whether bits 31–0 (DSC LOW) or bits 63–32 (DSC HIGH) are accessed. Access to 32 bit registers require that DSC be held LOW.

AA12–0/AA11–0 (Active Address, Output)

The AA bus conveys the Match address, the Next Free address, or Random Access address, depending on the most recent memory cycle. The /OE input enables the AA bus; when the /OE input is HIGH, the AA bus is in its high-impedance state; when /OE is LOW the AA bus is active. In a vertically cascaded system after a Comparison cycle, Write at Next Free Address cycle or Read/Write at Highest-Priority match, only the highest-priority device will enable its AA bus, regardless of the state of the /OE input. In the event of a mismatch in the Address Database after a Compare cycle, or after a Write at Next Free Address cycle into an already full system, the lowest-priority device will drive the AA bus with all 1s. The AA bus is latched when /E is LOW, and are free to change only when /E is HIGH.

PA3–0 (Page Address, Output)

The PA3–0 lines convey Page Address information. When the /OE input is HIGH, the PA3–0 outputs are in their high-impedance state; when /OE is LOW the PA3–0 lines carry the Page Address value held in the Configuration register. The PA3–0 lines are latched when /E is LOW, and are free to change only when /E is HIGH. The Page Address value of the currently active or highest-priority responding device is output at the same time, and under the same conditions, as the AA bus is active.

/E (Chip Enable, Input)

The /E input is the main chip enable and synchronizing

control for the MU9C RCP. When /E is HIGH, the chip is

disabled and the DQ31–0 lines are held in their high-impedance state. The falling edge of /E registers the /W, /CS1, /CS2, /AV, /AC bus, DSC, and the /VB and DQ31–0 lines for a Write cycle. /E being LOW causes the results of the previous comparison or memory access to be latched on the PA:AA bus; when /E goes HIGH the latches opens allowing the new comparison results or random access memory address to flow to the PA:AA bus.

/CS1, /CS2 (Chip Select 1, Chip Select 2, Inputs)

The /CS1 and /CS2 inputs enable the MU9C RCP. If

either /CS1 or /CS2 are LOW, the device is selected for a Read, Write, or Compare cycle through the DQ31–0 lines, or for an internal data transfer. The /CS1 and /CS2 lines do not have any effect on the PA:AA bus. The state of the /CS1 and /CS2 lines is registered by the falling edge of /E.

/W (Write Enable, Input)

The /W input determines the direction of data transfer on the DQ31–0 lines during Read, Write, and Data Move cycles. When /W is LOW, data flows into the DQ31–0 lines; when /W is HIGH, data flows out. The /W line also conditions the control state present on the AC bus and DSC lines. The state of the /W line is registered by the falling edge of /E.

/OE (Output Enable, Input)

The /OE input enables the PA:AA bus. When /OE is HIGH, PA:AA bus are in their high-impedance state. When /OE is LOW, PA:AA bus are active, and convey the results of the last Comparison Cycle Match address or Memory Access address. In a vertically cascaded system, only the PA:AA bus of the highest-priority device will be activated by /OE being LOW; in lower-priority devices, the PA:AA bus remains in high-impedance regardless of the state of /OE.

/AV (Address Valid, Input)

When Hardware control is selected, the /AV input determines whether the AC bus carries address or control information. When /AV is LOW, the AC bus conveys a memory address; when /AV is HIGH, the AC bus conveys control information. The state of the /AV line is registered by the falling edge of /E. When software control is selected, the /AV line distinguishes between instructions and data on the DQ31–0 lines; when /AV is LOW, data is present on the DQ31–0 lines; when /AV is HIGH, an instruction is present on the DQ11–0 lines.

/VB (Validity Bit, Three-state, Common Input/Output)

During accesses over the DQ31–0 lines, the /VB line

conveys validity information to and from the MU9C RCP.

During a Write cycle (/W=LOW), when /VB is LOW the addressed location is set valid; when /VB is HIGH it is set empty. During a Read cycle (/W=HIGH), the validity of the addressed location is read on the /VB line. During a Write cycle, the state of the /VB line is registered by the falling edge of /E.

/MF (Match Flag, Output)

The /MF output indicates whether a valid match has occurred during the previous Comparison cycle. If the /MF output is HIGH at the end of a Comparison cycle, then no match occurred; if it is LOW then either a match occurred within the device, or the /MI input is LOW, conditioned by the /MF output from a higher-priority device in the system. The state of the /MF line will not change until after the rising edge of /E during the Comparison cycle. Note that /MF indicates the results of the most recent Comparison cycle; it will not change when the PA:AA bus carry an address other than the Match address.

/MI (Match Input, Input)

The /MI input receives match information from the next

higher-priority MU9C RCP in a vertically cascaded

system to provide system-level prioritization. When the /MI input is HIGH, the /MF output will only go LOW if there is a match during a Comparison cycle; when the /MI input is LOW, the /MF output will go LOW. The /MF output from one device is connected to the /MI input of the next lower-priority device. The /MI pin of the highest-priority device must be tied HIGH.

/FF (Full Flag, Output)

The /FF output indicates when all the memory locations have their Validity bits set valid (LOW). When there is at least one location with its Validity bit set HIGH, the /FF output will be HIGH; when all locations have their Validity bits set LOW, and the /FI input is LOW, the /FF output will

Page 5

MU9C Binary Routing Coprocessor (RCP) Family

Rev. 6 5

be LOW. If the /FI input is HIGH, the /FF output will be HIGH. The state of the /FF line will not change until after the rising edge of /E during a Write cycle.

/FI (Full Input, Input)

The /FI input receives full information from the next

higher-priority MU9C RCP in a vertically cascaded

system to provide system-level full information. When the /FI input is LOW the /FF output will be HIGH if there is at least one location whose Validity bit is set invalid; when all locations have their Validity bits set valid, the /FF output goes LOW. When the /FI input is HIGH, the /FF output will remain HIGH. The /FF output from one device is connected to the /FI input of the next lower-priority device to give system-full indication. The /FI pin of the highest-priority device must be tied LOW.

/MM (Multiple Match, Open Drain Output)

The /MM line indicates that there is a multiple match within the system. When the /MI input is HIGH, the /MM line is pulled LOW if there are at least two matches within

the MU9C RCP as a result of the previous Comparison

cycle; when there are less than two matches, the /MM line floats HIGH. When the /MI input is LOW, the /MM line is pulled LOW if there are one or more matches within the

MU9C RCP as a result of the previous Comparison cycle;

when there are no matches, the /MM line floats HIGH. The /MM lines have open-drain outputs, so all /MM lines within the system are connected together to give system-level multiple match indication. The state of the /MM line will not change until after the rising edge of /E during a Comparison cycle.

/RESET

The /RESET input is used to reset the MU9C RCP to a

known state. When the /RESET line is pulled LOW it

causes the MU9C RCP to enter its reset state. After power is applied to the MU9C RCP, the /RESET line must be

held LOW for a time equal to or greater than the minimum RESET pulse width before the device can operate correctly. This pin is internally pulled up.

TCLK (JTAG Test Clock, Input)

The TCLK input is the Test Clock input. This pin is internally pulled up.

TMS (JTAG Test Mode Select, Input)

The TMS input is the Test Mode Select input. This pin is internally pulled up.

TDI (JTAG Test Data Input, Input)

The TDI input is the Test Data input. This pin is internally pulled up.

TDO (JTAG Test Data Output, Output)

The TCLK output is the Test Data Output. This pin is internally pulled up.

/TRST (JTAG Reset, Input)

The /TRST input is the Reset input, and serves to reset the Test Access Port circuitry to its reset condition. This pin is internally pulled up.

VDD, VSS (Positive Power Supply, Ground)

These pins are the main power supply connections to the

MU9C RCP. VDD must be held at +3.3 Volts and ± 0.3

Volts relative to the VSS pin, which is at 0 Volts, system reference potential, for correct operation of the device.

Note: The TCLK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and /TRST lines are defined in the IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-scan Architecture IEEE Standard. 1149.1-1990 and IEEE Standard.

1149.1a-1993.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Data is read from and written to the MU9C RCP through

the DQ31–0 lines. The Control bus, which is comprised of Chip Enable (/E), two Chip Selects (/CS1, /CS2), Write Enable (/W), Output Enable (/OE), Validity Bit Control (/VB), Address Valid (/AV), Data Segment Control (DSC), and the Address/Control inputs (AC bus) controls the

MU9C RCP. When the /AV line is LOW, the AC bus

carries an address for random access into the Memory array; when it is HIGH, the AC bus conveys control

information. The MU9C RCP control states perform

Address Register Control. These functions are summarized in Control State Overview on page 15.

Random access to memory locations occurs when the /AV line is LOW; during a Write cycle, the validity of the location is set by the /VB input. When the /AV line is HIGH the control states allow read and write access to the register set comprising Comparand register, seven mask registers, a Configuration register, a Status register, an Address register, a Device Select register, and an Instruction register. The Configuration register sets the persistent operating conditions of the device: the Page address of the device, selection of mask register for directly addressed memory writes, and selection between hardware and software control.

MU9C Binary Routing Coprocessor (RCP) Family Functional Description

Rev. 6

When Hardware control is selected, control is through the AC bus and DSC line. When Software control is selected, control is through the Instruction register, which is loaded from the DQ bus. Under software control the /AV line is used to distinguish between data and an instruction on the DQ bus. Therefore, in Software Control mode, random access to the Memory array can take place only using indirect addressing through the Address register.

The two Chip Select lines /CS1, /CS2 enable the device and simplify access to a multi-chip system, if either Chip Select

line is LOW the device is selected. The MU9C RCP also

can be selected through the Device Select register when its value is set to that of the Page address of the device, and the enable bit in the Device Select register is set LOW. The /OE input enables the output signal and is used to synchronize devices in a multi-chip system, and to prevent race conditions among devices during priority resolution.

The output signals comprise the Active address (AA bus), and the Page address (PA bus). The PA:AA bus provides the current Active address, which is either the Match address, Next Free address, or the Random Access address, concatenated with the Device Page address. The source of Active address is dependent on the previous control state, allowing access to associated data in the external RAM at the same location as an access in the

MU9C RCP for all types of cycles.

The Output enable, /OE, controls the PA:AA bus: when it is LOW after a Compare cycle, the highest-priority responding device outputs its Page and Match addresses on PA:AA bus. Only the highest-priority responding device is enabled, all other lower-priority devices will have their PA:AA bus in the high-impedance state, regardless of the state of their respective /OE lines: when /OE is HIGH, the PA:AA remain in the high-impedance state.

When a mismatch occurs in the system, the lowest-priority device, as defined in the Configuration register, will drive the PA:AA bus with all 1s. When any Read or Write cycle occurs, the address of the accessed location is output on the PA:AA bus. The address output on the PA:AA bus is persistent, and is held latched until /E goes HIGH during the next cycle that changes the Active address. The PA:AA bus is free to change only while /E is HIGH. Once /E goes LOW, the state of the PA:AA bus is latched.

After a Compare cycle, the /MF and /MM flags are free to change after /E has gone HIGH. Once the Match Flag daisy chain has resolved device prioritization, the /OE lines can be asserted to enable the PA:AA bus from the highest-priority matching device.

In a multi-chip system, when a device remains deselected during a Compare cycle through /CS1 and /CS2 being HIGH and there being no match between the Device

Select register and the Page Address register, that device will clear any previous positive match results. In other words, if it had previously been indicating a match from an earlier Comparison cycle, it will now be set to indicate a mismatch, even though it was not selected during the most recent Compare cycle.

For pure software control of the MU9C RCP, instructions

can be loaded into the Instruction register, and results read from the Status register. The Status register holds the results of comparison: PA:AA bus, /MF, /FF, and /MM plus two PA:AA Validation bits that indicate the type of cycle that generated the PA:AA bus value.

Vertical cascading is supported through a daisy chain architecture. There are two daisy chains, one each for the Match flag and the Full flag; the Multiple Match flag is connected between devices through an open-drain line. The Match flag (/MF) from a higher-priority device is connected to the Match input (/MI) of the next lower-priority device to provide prioritization throughout a multiple device system. The /MF output from the lowest-priority device provides a system Match flag. If the delay through the daisy chain is unacceptable, the /OE input can be used by external priority-resolution circuitry to enable the highest-priority responder in the system.

The match conditions on the Match and Multiple Match flag lines are persistent indicating the results of the most recent Compare cycle. The Match flags are free to change after the rising edge of /E during a Compare cycle, at which time the daisy chain starts to resolve device prioritization. Once the daisy chain has settled, the /OE lines can be pulled LOW to access the Highest-Priority Match address on the PA:AA bus.

The Multiple Match open-drain output (/MM) provides multiple match indication when there are two or more matches in a single device, or a device has its /MI input LOW and has a match; the /MM flags of all devices in the system are wire-ORed. Multiple responders can be accessed sequentially by resetting the Highest-Priority Match latch with the control state Advance to Next Matching Location.

The Full flag (/FF) is cascaded from one device to the Full Flag input (/FI) of the next lower-priority device in the system. The /FF output from the lowest-priority device provides a system Full flag. The Full flag is free to change after the rising edge of /E during a Write cycle. The daisy chains are persistent and are not conditioned by the /OE input.

The MU9C RCP supports JTAG boundary-scan testing

through the pins TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and /TRST, according to the IEEE 1149 Standard: Test Access Port and Boundary-scan Architecture.

OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

Processor Interface

The processor interface is through a 32-bit data bus DQ31–0 and control signals comprised of Chip Enable (/E), two Chip Selects (/CS1, /CS2), Write Enable (/W), Output Enable (/OE), Validity Bit Control (/VB), Address Valid (/AV), Data Segment Control (DSC), and Address/Control inputs (AC bus). When the /AV line is LOW, the DSC and AC bus carries an address for random access into the Memory array; when it is HIGH, the AC bus conveys control information.

Most of the functionality of the MU9C RCP is accessed

through the control states on DSC and AC bus when /AV is HIGH. The processor maps the control structure into

memory space and controls the MU9C RCP through

memory Read and Write cycles. Using this memory mapping scheme, the /AV line should be driven from logic that generates a HIGH level within the mapped range of the control states, and a LOW level outside it. Other control inputs /E, /W, /CS1, and /CS2 are analogous to SRAM control inputs.

The /VB line acts like an extra data bit during memory Read and Write cycles and is used to read and write the validity of any memory location.

The MU9C RCP is enabled either through hardware

through /CS1 or /CS2 being LOW, or it is enabled by the value written to the Device Select register matching with the Page Address field of the Configuration register. One extra bit in the Device Select register enables the comparison between the Page Address value and the Device Select register. These Chip Select mechanisms operate in parallel. If any one is active, the device is enabled.

The MU9C RCP can be controlled directly through

software. The Software Control mode is selected through settings in the Configuration register.

When the Software Control mode is selected, control states are written to the Instruction register from DQ11–0 during a Write cycle with the /AV line held HIGH. DQ12 acts as the DSC input. If the control state does not involve any data transaction on the DQ31–0 lines, the instruction is executed during the same cycle; the state of DQ13 modifies the instruction, its state is equivalent to the /W input.

Note: It is up to the system designer to ensure that the correct cycle type follows the loading of an instruction in Software Control mode. If the instruction expects a Read cycle, and a Write cycle is executed, or vice versa, the function of the MU9C RCP is undefined. Such an error may lead to data loss, but will not damage the device physically.

A Read cycle with the /AV line HIGH will access the Status register, allowing results to be read back without

loading a new instruction. After a Comparison cycle, Write at Next Free Address cycle or Read/Write at Highest-Priority match in a vertically cascaded system, only the highest-priority device will enable its DQ31–0 lines and output the contents of its Status register. After a Comparison cycle, in the event of a mismatch in the

MU9C, the DQ31–0 lines of the lowest-priority device

will be enabled. After a random access Read or Write cycle, the Status register of any selected device will be enabled. Under these circumstances, it is up to the user to ensure that only a single device is enabled through /CS1, /CS2, or the Device Select register.

The instruction is persistent, so that all subsequent data transactions will be executed according to the control state held in the Instruction register. The results of a Comparison cycle can be read back from the Status register, and include PA:AA bus, /MF, /MM, and /FF. The following sequence of events provides the fastest

operation of the MU9C RCP in Software Control mode:

Hardware Control

Direct hardware control using the AC bus and DSC line

enhances performance of the MU9C RCP. The AC bus

inputs determine which CAM location is accessed, and the DSC determines whether bits 31–0 (DSC LOW) or bits 63–32 (DSC HIGH) are active. The Hardware Control mode is selected when Configuration Register bits FR27–26 are set LOW. The AC bus inputs are qualified by /W, /AV, and /VB. When /AV is LOW, the AC bus and DSC line carry the address for a random Read or Write cycle, depending on the state of /W, and /VB carries the validity of the location. During a Write cycle, /VB is written to the Validity bit of the addressed location; during a Read cycle, the validity of the location is read on the /VB line. When /VB is LOW, the location contains valid data; when /VB is HIGH the location is empty.

When /AV is HIGH, the AC bus and DSC line carry address and control information. The DSC line selects whether bits 31–0 (DSC LOW) or bits 63–32 (DSC

HIGH) participate in the operation. The AC8–6 lines select the mask register and the AC5–0 lines provide the Op-Code. If masking is not used, and all random addressing of the memory is indirect through the Address register, then only the DSC and AC5–0 lines are needed for full control of the device.

In applications where a restricted number of control lines

are available, or where speed is not critical, the MU9C

RCP can be controlled in Software Control mode where the control states are loaded into the Instruction register through the DQ31–0 lines. The control states are identical in both Hardware and Software Control modes, although DQ12 and DQ13 take on special significance in Software mode.

Software Control

For optimum performance, the AC bus and DSC line

control the MU9C RCP, allowing data transactions

through the DQ31–0 lines during a control cycle. In cases where the overhead of a separate data load cycle can be

accommodated, the MU9C RCP can be operated through

the Instruction register. The AC bus and DSC line are not used.

Control through the Instruction register is selected by the FR27–26 bits of the Configuration register being set HIGH. The instruction is loaded from the DQ11–0 lines (with DSC on DQ12) into the Instruction register during a Write cycle with the /AV line HIGH. The instructions are directly analogous to the control states for any operation that does not involve data transfer on the DQ31–0 lines, in which case the instruction is executed during the same cycle as the instruction is loaded. To distinguish between Read and Write control states, DQ13 is used to indicate which type of instruction should be executed. When DQ13 is LOW at the beginning of the cycle, the instruction executed is the Write Cycle instruction (/W = LOW when control state is conveyed on AC bus and DSC); when DQ13 is HIGH at the beginning of the cycle, the instruction executed is the Read Cycle instruction (/W = HIGH when control state is conveyed on the AC bus).

When the instruction calls for data to be written or read from the DQ31–0 lines, the instruction is loaded into the Instruction register during the cycle, and the next Data Read or Write cycle with /AV LOW executes the instruction using the DQ31–0 bus for the data transaction. The instruction is persistent; for example, if no other instruction is loaded into the Instruction Register, subsequent data transactions with the /AV line LOW will be executed according to the instruction currently loaded in the Instruction register. When there is a data access to a memory location on DQ31–0 associated with the instruction, the /VB line carries the validity of that location.

Instructions that involve data transactions on DQ31–0, and are therefore executed on a subsequent Read or Write cycle with the /AV line LOW, are all Read/Write Memory and Read/Write Register instructions, Read Validity, Write PA3-0. All other instructions are executed in a single cycle with the state of DQ13 being interpreted as the state of the /W line during the equivalent hardware control state.

For Read Cycles with the /AV line HIGH, there is a Software Control mode. This mode is selected through the Configuration bits FR27–26. In Software Control mode (FR27–26 = 0b11) a Read cycle with /AV HIGH accesses the Status register.

Active Address Interface PA:AA Bus

The Active Address interface PA:AA bus carries the currently active address. The address source depends on the most recent control state that caused it to change. The possible address sources that are output on PA:AA bus are: Highest-Priority Match address, Next Free address, Read address, and Write address.

PA:AA Bus After a Comparison Cycle

After a Comparison cycle, or access to the Highest-Priority address, the PA:AA bus carries one of the following two possible results:

• The Match address if the Comparison cycle resulted

in a match in the MU9C. Only the device containing

the highest-priority match enables its PA:AA bus. All other devices with either no match or a lower-priority match, as indicated by the Match Flag daisy chain, keep their PA:AA bus in high-impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.

• All 1s if there was no match in the MU9C. The

lowest-priority device, as indicated by bit FR25 in the Configuration register, enables its PA:AA bus and provides the source of all 1s. All other devices will keep their PA:AA bus in high-impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.

PA:AA Bus After a Write at Next Free Address Cycle

After a Write at Next Free Address cycle the PA:AA carries the address that was written to during that cycle. Only the device in which the write occurred enables its PA:AA bus. All other devices keep their PA:AA bus in high-impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.

In the event that the system was full prior to the Write at Next Free Address cycle being executed, so that the write operation was suppressed, the PA:AA carries all 1s. The lowest-priority device, as indicated by bit FR25 in the Configuration register, enables its PA:AA bus and provides the source of all 1s. All other devices keep their PA:AA in high-impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.

PA:AA Bus After a Random Access Read or Write to the CAM

After a random Read or Write cycle to the MU9C, the

PA:AA bus carries the address that was accessed during that cycle. Only the device in which the access occurred enables its PA:AA bus. All other devices keep their PA:AA bus in high-impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs. Note that the access to the PA:AA bus differs in this respect from the operation of the Status register, which is accessible in any selected device under this particular circumstance.

In the event that the Write cycle was broadcast to multiple devices, all devices that have their /OE lines held LOW will enable their PA:AA bus. Under this circumstance, it is up to the system designer to ensure that only one /OE line is driven LOW to prevent bus contention on the PA:AA bus.

PA:AA Bus Conditions of Operation

• During a control state that does not have any effect on the device address, such as a Write Register cycle, the PA:AA bus remains unchanged. In other words, the state of the PA:AA bus persists until another cycle causes it to change.

• When enabled by /OE being LOW, the PA:AA bus is only free to change while /E is HIGH. When /E goes LOW the PA:AA bus is latched.

• The PA:AA bus is enabled when /OE is LOW provided that the previous cycle causes them to be active. When /OE is HIGH, the PA:AA bus is in high-impedance. Note that /OE is asynchronous with respect to /E, and is independent of Chip Select from either /CS1, /CS2, or through the Device Select register, except in the case of non-broadcast random

Read and Write cycles to the MU9C.

PA:AA Bus and the Match Flags

The Match flags /MF and /MM reflect the results of the most recent Comparison cycle. During a Comparison cycle, they do not change until after /E has gone HIGH

after which they are free to change combinatorially; their state is latched when /E is LOW. This condition allows some pipelining to occur and is useful in systems with long daisy chains. A Comparison cycle can be followed by another cycle that does not affect the PA:AA bus before the daisy chain is resolved. For example:

The WRL CR control state can be executed before the daisy chain has resolved device prioritization after the CMP CR control state. The /OE then is asserted at a suitable time, depending on the length of the daisy chain. The Match address of the highest-priority responding device then is driven onto the PA:AA bus.

The /MF, /MM lines continue to indicate the results of the most recent match, even when the PA:AA bus carries an address other than the Match address. This condition allows rapid return to the Match address value on the PA:AA bus lines through a RDL[HPM] cycle, without the daisy chain having to re-resolve device-level prioritization.

PA:AA Bus and the Status Register

The Status Register bits SR15–0 reflect the PA:AA bus under all conditions. The Status Register flags /MF, /MM, and /FF represent the local conditions within the device, and are not conditioned by the /MI and /FI inputs.

After a Comparison cycle, Write at Next Free address, or access to the Highest-Priority Matching device, a Status Register Read cycle is executed in the same device as the active PA:AA bus. In the case of a random access Read or Write cycle, the Status register of any selected device can be accessed by a Read Status Register cycle. The system designer must ensure that a Status Register Read cycle after a random Read or Write cycle is into a single device using Chip Select /CS1, /CS2, or the Device Select register to prevent bus contention on the DQ31–0 bus.

The Comparand register, seven mask registers, Address register, Configuration register, Status register, Next Free Address register, Device Select register, and Instruction register comprise the register set. Note that all RESERVED bits can be read and written without affecting the operation of the device.

However, for forward compatibility with future product enhancements, system designers should not rely on any particular RESERVED bit having no effect on the

operation of the device in future revisions. Therefore all RESERVED bits should be set to logical zero.

The Register Set

Comparand Register

The 64-bit Comparand register holds the value to be compared with the valid contents of the Address Database array, although the DQ lines can be compared directly, and then optionally written into the Comparand register.

CMP CR WR CR

Rev. 6

Mask Registers

There are seven 64-bit mask registers that are used to mask Compare and Write cycles. When a bit is set LOW in a selected mask register, the corresponding bit enters into comparison during a Compare cycle, or is written during a Write cycle. When a bit is set HIGH in a selected mask register, the corresponding bit does not enter into comparison during a Compare cycle, or remains unchanged after a Write cycle.

Address Register

The 32-bit Address register is used for indirect addressing of the Address Database. When random access to the Address Database is restricted to indirect addressing, the width of the control bus can be reduced to 9 bits if masking is used or 6 bits if it is not. Control states allow increment and decrement of the Address register as well as auto-increment and auto-decrement Read and Write cycles. Bits AR12–0 hold the address while bits AR31–13 are reserved and should be set LOW.

Configuration Register

The 32-bit Configuration register sets the persistent

operating conditions of the MU9C RCP. Bits FR31–29

select which mask register is used for direct Write cycles to the Address database when the address is conveyed on the AC bus (/AV=LOW), a value of 000 in this field results in unmasked direct Write cycles. Bits FR27–26 select the mode of operation: Hardware Control mode or Software Control mode. Bit FR25 is used to identify the lowest-priority device in a vertically cascaded system. Bits FR3–0 hold the device Page address. All other bits are reserved and should be set LOW. See Table 3.

Status Register

The 32-bit Status register holds the results of the most recent control state that caused the PA:AA lines to change. It is intended for use in Software Control mode where

results of an operation are read from the MU9C through

the DQ31–0 lines. Bit SR30 holds the Match flag, /MF, which goes LOW when there is a match in the Address Database. Bit SR29 holds an internal version of the Multiple Match flag, /MM, which is LOW if there is a multiple match in the particular device; note that this is not a system-level multiple match indication. Bit SR28 holds the Full flag, /FF, which goes LOW when all the Address Database locations are set valid, and the /FI line is LOW. Bits SR25–24 indicate the type of result held in the Active Address field: Match address, Memory Access address, or Reset state. Bits SR19–16 hold the Page address, PA3–0, for the device. Bits SR12–0 hold the Active address, identical to that on the AA bus. All other bits are reserved and are set LOW. See Table 4.

Next Free Address Register

The 32-bit Next Free Address register holds the highest-priority address that has its Validity bit set empty (HIGH). System-level prioritization ensures that only the device with the highest-priority empty address in a vertically cascaded system will respond to a Read Next Free Address Register Control state. Bits NF19–16 hold the device Page address, PA3–0. Bits NF12–0 hold the next free address value. All other bits are reserved, and are set LOW. See Table 5.

Device Select Register

The 32-bit Device Select register is used for software

selection of the MU9C RCP. A particular device is selected

when the value in bits DS3–0 are the same as the Page Address value PA3–0 and the Device Select Enable bit, DS8, is set LOW. Setting DS8 HIGH prevents the Device

Select register from enabling the MU9C RCP. All other bits

are reserved and should be set LOW. See Table 6.

Instruction Register

In Software Control mode, control states are written to the 32-bit Instruction register instead of being fed to the

MU9C RCP through the DSC and AC11–0 lines. Bits

IR12–0 are equivalent to the DSC and AC11–0 lines and the control states they invoke are identical to those of the Hardware Control mode. The remaining bits are reserved and should be set LOW.

The Address Database

The Address Database is organized as 4096 or 8192 64-bit locations: location 0000H as the highest-priority location, and location 0FFFH or 1FFFH as the lowest-priority location. Write cycles to the next free address start at

location 0000H when the MU9C RCP is empty, and

continue down to 0FFFH or 1FFFH when it becomes full.

Each 64-bit location in the Address Database array has one extra bit, the Validity bit, which is used to indicate whether the location is empty or has valid contents. When the Validity bit is HIGH, the location is empty and is not compared during Comparison cycles; when it is LOW the contents are valid and will be compared during a Comparison cycle. The Validity bits are set or reset during Write cycles through the /VB line. The Validity bit of a location is accessed on the /VB line during a Read cycle. The Validity bits can be set and reset through control states. The Validity bits also are used in the generation of the next free address value.

Address Database Access

Data is written to or read from the Address Database array either randomly by address, or associatively by comparison and next free address. Random addressing can be either direct with the address on the DSC and AC12–0 lines (/AV=LOW) or indirect with the address held in the

Page 11

Rev. 6 11

Address register. Address Database access is controlled through the control states on the DSC and AC12–0 lines (/AV=HIGH) in Hardware Control mode, or through the Instruction register in Software Control mode.

Chip Select

There are two methods of selecting an MU9C RCP:

through Hardware control inputs /CS1 and /CS2, and through software control through the Data Select register.

Chip Select Inputs

The Chip Select lines /CS1 and /CS2 enable an MU9C

RCP to participate in a control cycle. If either /CS1 or /CS2 are LOW the device is selected. By connecting all the /CS1 lines together in a multi-device system, and decoding the lines to each individual device’s /CS2 line, control states can operate locally within a single device or globally in all devices. Control states can be broadcast to all devices within the system by pulling the /CS1 lines LOW, for operations such as Write Comparand register; individual devices can be selected to respond to a control state such as Write at Address by pulling a single decoded /CS2 line LOW.

Device Select Register

One dedicated line is needed per device to do local selection of one device within a multi-device system. In cases where control lines are at a premium, the Device Select register can be used as the method of selection. If Device Select Register bit DS8 is LOW, only the device or devices whose Page Address value, held in Configuration Register bits FR3-0, match with the Device Select Register bits DS3–0 will be selected. Note that the match condition of the Device Select register is ORed with the state of the /CS1 and /CS2 lines. If DS8 is HIGH, the device remains unselected through the Device Select register.

The conditions of the Device Select register, the /CS1 and /CS2 lines are sampled at the time of the falling edge of /E.

In a particular MU9C RCP within a system, that CAM

will be selected under the following conditions:

Therefore, the /CS1 lines of all devices are tied together for global cycles that broadcast control states to all devices within the system; then, for local cycles, an individual device is selected by loading all the Device Select Registers bit DS8 LOW and bits DS3–0 with the Page Address value of the device to be selected. On a subsequent cycle, /CS1 and /CS2 remain HIGH, and only the device whose Page Address value matches with its DS3–0 will respond. After an individual device has been selected, a global Write cycle to the Device Select register

using /CS1 line is executed to select another device, or to disable the software chip select mechanism altogether.

Vertical Cascading

A system of any practical depth can be designed by

vertically cascading MU9C RCPs. The scheme uses a

daisy chain to provide system level prioritization as well as Match, Multiple Match, and Full flags. There are three daisy chains: Match, Multiple Match, and Full.

When a control state is broadcast that accesses the highest-priority matching location or Status register, the daisy chain ensures only that the device that responds is the one with the highest-priority match in the system. All other devices will have their DQ31–0 lines and PA:AA bus outputs held in high-impedance. Therefore, the Match Flag daisy chain controls access to the system resources for control states that are conditional on the results of the previous Compare cycle.

During a Comparison cycle, the Match and Multiple Match flags will not change until /E goes HIGH during that cycle. At this time, the daisy chain starts to resolve system-level prioritization. Once sufficient time has elapsed for the daisy chain to be resolved, the PA:AA bus can be enabled with /OE, and Status Register Read cycles will access only the highest-priority matching device. Note that the daisy chain resolves system-level prioritization combinatorially once initiated by /E going HIGH. Other cycles that do not affect the daisy chain or

match results can take place in the MU9C RCP while the

daisy chain is resolving, for example, WR CR, allowing some degree of pipelining. During a Write cycle, the Full flag will not change until /E goes HIGH during that cycle.

There is a small propagation delay per device in the daisy chain. Alternatively, vertical cascading can be done with external logic that provides prioritization and select lines

back into each device. The MU9C RCP architecture

supports external prioritization for cases where the daisy chain overhead proves unacceptable. Figure 4 shows a

system in which a number of MU9C RCPs are vertically

cascaded.

Figure 4: Vertically Cascading MU9C RCPs

Full Cascading

The Full flag is set LOW in a particular MU9C RCP if the

/FI line is LOW, and that device is full. During a Write cycle, the Full flag will not change until /E goes HIGH during that cycle. When the /FI line is HIGH, one or more locations are free in the higher-priority devices; therefore, when the /FI line is HIGH, whether or not that particular device is full, its /FF output will remain HIGH. This method allows the Full Flag daisy chain to recognize non-contiguous empty locations throughout the entire

MU9C RCP system.

The daisy chain gives System Full indication. When the device at the end of the chain has its /FF output LOW, the entire CAM system is full. The first device in the daisy chain has its /FI line tied LOW to ensure data can be written into the system.

The daisy chain also controls Write at Next Free Address cycles as well as Read Next Free Address cycles so that they work globally across the system, and not just locally in a specific device. Only the device in which the /FI line is LOW, and which is not full, will respond to the Write cycle. Therefore, deletions and insertions can be made in the memory, without the need to keep track of empty locations.

Match Cascading

The Match flag /MF will be LOW in a particular device within a vertically cascaded system when its /MI input is LOW, or when there is a match in that device. During a Comparison cycle, the Match flag will not change until /E goes HIGH during that cycle. When the /MI line is LOW, one or more locations in higher-priority devices have a match; when the /MI line is LOW, the /MF output will be forced LOW. This method allows the Match Flag daisy chain to respond to and prioritize matches throughout the

entire MU9C RCP system.

The daisy chaining gives a System Match indication. When the device at the end of the daisy chain has its /MF output

LOW, there is a match within the MU9C system. The first

device in the daisy chain has its /MI input tied HIGH.

The daisy chain also controls access to the device by controlling the outputs during a Read Highest-Priority Match data, or Read Status register, onto the DQ31–0 lines. The device must be selected with either /CS1, or /CS2, or the Data Select register. After a Comparison or Read/Write at Highest-Priority Match Address cycle, only the device whose /MI line is HIGH, and which has a valid match, will drive data onto DQ31–0 or onto PA:AA bus; any device that has its /MI line set LOW will have its outputs in their high-impedance state, even if it has a valid match. Therefore, Reads from and Writes to the Highest-Priority Matching address operate over the entire system; only the device in which the /MI line is HIGH and that has a match will respond to the cycle. This scheme automatically prioritizes a system of vertically cascaded devices, the highest up in the chain has the highest-priority. Note however, that cycles that do not access highest-priority match data or the Status register will operate without regard to the state of the Match daisy chain.

Multiple Match Flag Daisy Chain

The Multiple Match flag, /MM, is an open-drain output, and will be pulled LOW by a particular device when its /MI input is HIGH and there is more than one match within the device, or when the /MI input is LOW and there is one match within the device. During a Comparison cycle, the Multiple Match flag will not change until /E goes HIGH during that cycle. This wired-OR output provides system level indication of the multiple match condition within a

vertically cascaded system of MU9C RCPs.

Match Flag Timing Overhead

There is a propagation delay for the match results to ripple

down through the daisy chain. All the MU9C RCPs

within the system execute a Comparison cycle in parallel, so the local results are available at the end of a Comparison cycle. The local Match flags do not change during a Comparison cycle until /E goes HIGH. The logical combination of the results then propagates down

the daisy chain with a delay through each stage. The compare time in each device operating in parallel is added to the ripple delay through the daisy chain. Before reading the results of a comparison from the System Match flag, the daisy chain must be given time to settle to a valid state. If there are N devices vertically cascaded in a system, and the time to get a valid output on /MF for one device is t(MF), and the propagation delay for the flag to ripple through one device from /MI valid to /MF valid is t(PD), then the time t(DC) for the daisy chain to develop a valid output condition is:

This period of time must elapse before the flagged results of the comparison are available, and before /OE is driven LOW or a Status Register Read cycle is performed.

There is a similar but shorter delay for the Full Flag daisy chain, but this only limits the rate at which back-to-back Write at Next Free Address cycles can be performed.

External Prioritization

For systems where the propagation delay associated with

the Match Flag daisy chain is unacceptable, the MU9C

RCP supports external prioritization. Using external prioritization, each /MF output is fed to a 1 of N prioritizing circuit whose outputs are fed back to the /CS

and /OE inputs of the respective MU9C RCPs. A ccess to

the Highest-Priority Match Memory location or Status register is accomplished by only enabling the /CS to the Highest-Priority Match device based on the status of the /MF flags in the system. Likewise, access to the Highest-Priority Match device’s PA:AA bus match address result is accomplished by enabling only the /OE line to the Highest-Priority Match device.

Initialization

After power is applied to the MU9C RCP the /RESET

line must be pulled LOW for at least 50 ns to ensure that the device establishes its correct initial operating conditions. There are control states to initialize the system-level operating conditions that can be run once the device or devices in the system have been reset after power has been applied.

Reset

The Reset condition occurs when the /RESET line is pulled LOW (Hardware reset,) or when the Reset Control state is executed (Software reset.) The conditions after a reset are shown in Table 2.

The Instruction register is enabled for Software Control mode. To activate Hardware control, the appropriate value should be written to the Configuration register in two cycles from the DQ31–0 lines.

For a Hardware reset, FR25, which defines the lowest priority device, is set HIGH. This means that either FR25 must be set LOW in the lowest-priority device, or a Memory access cycle or a Compare cycle that generates a match must be executed for there to be any response when reading the PA:AA bus or the Status register.

System Initialization

Once the MU9C RCP devices in the system have been

reset, the system operating conditions must be set up. The

MU9C RCP is reset to Software Control mode, so a value

must be written to the Configuration register to set the persistent operating state of the device. This first write to the devices in the system must be through Software control. The following sequence writes a new value to the Configuration register under software control:

1. Write 006H to MU9C RCPs (/AV=HIGH,

DQ13=LOW).

The value 006H is the control state Write to Configuration register, WR FR, with no mask. /AV being HIGH indicates that this is the instruction to be written to the Instruction register, and DQ13 being LOW indicates that it is a Write cycle.

2. Write XXXXXXXXH to MU9C RCPs (/AV=LOW).

The value XXXXXXXXH is written to the Configuration register, and if FR27–26=00 then the devices are set to operate in Hardware Control mode. /AV being LOW causes the control state to execute using the data present on the DQ31–0 lines.

If the devices in a vertically cascaded system are to be selected solely through the Device Select register, then the Page addresses must be set to unique values in each device. However, to set the Page address in each Configuration register in turn would require that each device already had a unique Page Address value. To overcome this dilemma, there are two special control states that allow the Page Address registers to be set individually in this circumstance. Once the general operating conditions have been established by

broadcasting a configuration value to all the MU9C RCPs

in the system, the Page Address values must be set to a unique value in each device. This is done through a sequence of WR PA control states, each executed with a unique value on the DQ31-0 lines. This control state writes the DS3–0 value into the Page Address field of the Configuration register of the highest-priority empty device, and then sets the Full flag of that device to indicate full (LOW). The next WR PA will therefore be directed to the next lower-priority device within the system. The sequence continues until all Page Address values have been written. The RST FF control state is then broadcast to all devices to set the Full flags back to Empty, and the system is then ready for normal operation.
