The V370PDC PCI SDRAM C ontroll er simpl ifies t he
design of PCI based memory sub-systems. System
designers can replace many lower int egration supp ort
components with this single, hi gh-integ ration devi ce
saving design time, board area, and manufacturing
cost.
The V370PDC from V3 Semiconductor is a high
performance PCI SDRAM Controller with integrated
peripheral control unit operating at up to 66 MHz local
bus speed. It features multiple address translation
units from PCI which allow designers the freedom to
customize their local address space. Access latency of
slower peripherals are absorbed through the large OnChip FIFOs.
The peripheral bus provides low latency access to
SDRAM. The perip heral cont rol un it o n t he V370P DC
also performs address deco ding and chip-select
strobes generation for SRAM, PROM and other slow
peripherals. The peripheral bus can also be tri-stated
through a simple hand-shaking protocol to allow o ther
local bus masters control of the bus.
The SDRAM Controller connec ts the PCI bus thro ugh
on-chip FIFOs to SDRAM arrays of up to 1 Gbytes in
size. The fully programmable SDRAM controller also
supports the use of Enhanced SDRAM to achieve
even greater performance. Burst accesses of up to 1
Kbyte from PCI is supported.
The two general purpose 32-bit timers can be
individually configured as a pulse width modulator, or
used in other modes such as retriggerable or oneshot. Interrupts fo r a real time OS can be easily
generated by the system hear tbeat time r. A watchdog
timer is also provided for graceful recovery from
catastrophic program failures. Interrupt requests for all
on-chip peripheral s are managed b y the Interrupt
Control Unit. Additionally, off-chip interrupts can be
routed to the Interrupt Control Unit.
The V370PDC is packaged in a low-cost 160-pin EIJA
Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP ), and is available in
66MHz speed grade.

Notes:
1. Input leakage currents include high impedance output leakage for all bi-directional buffers with tri-state outputs.
2. Signals without pull-up resistors have greater than 3mA low output current. Signals requiring pull resistors
have greater than 6mA output current. The latter include FRAME
, TRDY, IRDY, STOP, SERR, PERR.
3. Absolute maximum pin capacitance for a PCI unit is 10pF (except for CLK).
4. Lower capacitance on this input-only pin allows for non-resistive coupling to AD[xx].
