Cooling Requirements
The Motorola MVME162LX VME Embedded Controller is specified, designed, and tested to operate reliably with an incoming air temperature range from 0˚ to 55˚ C (32˚ to 131˚ F) with forced air cooling at a velocity typically achievable by using a 100 CFM axial fan. Temperature qualification is performed in a standard Motorola VME system chassis. Load boards are inserted adjacent to the board under test, to simulate a high power density system configuration. An assembly of three axial fans, rated at 100 CFM per fan, is placed directly under the VME card cage. The incoming air temperature is measured between the fan assembly and the card cage, where the incoming airstream first encounters the controller under test. Test software is executed as the controller is subjected to ambient temperature variations. Case temperatures of critical, high power density integrated circuits are monitored to ensure that component vendors’ specifications are not exceeded.
While the exact amount of airflow required for cooling depends on the ambient air temperature and the type, number, and location of boards and other heat sources, adequate cooling can usually be achieved with 10 CFM and 490 LFM flowing over the controller. Less airflow is required to cool the controller in environments having lower maximum ambients. Under more favorable thermal conditions (refer to Elevated-Temperature Operation below), it may be possible to operate the controller reliably at higher than 55˚ C with increased airflow. It is important to note that there are several factors, in addition to the rated CFM of the air mover, which determine the actual volume and speed of air flowing over the controller.
Special Considerations for Elevated-Temperature Operation
The following information is for users whose applications for the
MVME162LX may subject it to high temperatures.
1-10
Introduction |
1 |
|
The MVME162LX uses commercial-grade devices. Therefore, it can operate in an environment with ambient air temperatures from 0˚ C to 70˚ C. Several factors influence the ambient temperature seen by components on the MVME162LX. Among them are inlet air temperature; airflow characteristics; number, types, and locations of IP modules; power dissipation of adjacent boards in the system, etc.
A temperature profile of a comparable board (the MVME172 embedded controller) was developed in an MVME954A six-slot VME chassis. Two such boards, each loaded with one 4MB memory mezzanine and two GreenSpring IndustryPack modules, were placed in the chassis with one 36W load board installed between them. The chassis was placed in a thermal chamber that maintained an ambient temperature of 55˚ C. Measurements showed that the fans in the chassis supplied an airflow of approximately 65 LFM over the MVME172 boards. Under these conditions, a rise in temperature of approximately 10˚ C between the inlet and exit air was observed. The junction temperatures of selected high-power devices on the MVME172 were calculated (from case temperature measurements) and were found to be within manufacturers’ specified tolerances.

FCC Compliance
The MVME162LX is a board-level product and is meant to be used in standard VME applications. As such, it is the responsibility of system integrators to to meet the regulatory guidelines pertaining to a given application. The MVME162LX has been tested in a representative chassis for CE class B EMC certification. Compliance was achieved under the following conditions:
1.Shielded cables on all external I/O ports.
2.Cable shields connected to earth ground via metal shell connectors bonded to a conductive module front panel.
3.Conductive chassis rails connected to earth ground. This provides the path for connecting shields to earth ground.
4.Front panel screws properly tightened.
For minimum RF emissions, it is essential that the conditions above be implemented. Failure to do so could compromise the FCC compliance of the equipment containing the module.
Manual Terminology

Introduction
1
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are level significant denotes that the signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (*) following the signal name for signals which are edge significant denotes that the actions initiated by that signal occur on high-to-low transition.
In this manual, assertion and negation are used to specify forcing a signal to a particular state. In particular, assertion and assert refer to a signal that is active or true; negation and negate indicate a signal that is inactive or false. These terms are used independently of the voltage level (high or low) that they represent.
Data and address sizes are defined as follows:
A byte is eight bits, numbered 0 through 7, with bit 0 being the least significant.
A two-byte is 16 bits, numbered 0 through 15, with bit 0 being the least significant. For the MVME162LX and other CISC modules, this is called a word.
A four-byte is 32 bits, numbered 0 through 31, with bit 0 being the least significant. For the MVME162LX and other CISC modules, this is called a longword.
The terms control bit, status bit, true and false are used extensively in this document.
The term control bit describes a bit in a register that can be set and cleared under software control. The term true indicates that a bit is in the state that enables the function it controls. The term false indicates that the bit is in the state which disables the function it controls. In all tables, the terms 0 and 1 describe the actual value that should be written to the bit, or the value that it yields when read.
The term status bit describes a bit in a register that reflects a specific condition. The status bit is read by software to determine operational or exception conditions.

Data Bus Structure
The local bus on the MVME162LX is a 32-bit synchronous bus that is based on the MC68040 bus, and which supports burst transfers and snooping. The various local bus master and slave devices use the local bus to communicate. The local bus is arbitrated by priority type arbiter and the priority of the local bus masters from highest to lowest is: 82596CA LAN, 53C710 SCSI, VMEbus, and MPU. In the general case, any master can access any slave; however, not all combinations pass the common sense test. Refer to the
MVME162LX Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide and to the user's guide for each device to determine its port size, data bus connection, and any restrictions that apply when accessing the device.
Microprocessor
The MVME162LX is built with a 32MHz MC68040 microprocessor.
The MC68040 has on-chip instruction and data caches, optional high drive I/O buffers, and a floating point processor. The MC68040 supports cache coherency in multi-master applications with dedicated on-chip bus snooping logic. Refer to the M68040 reference manual for detailed information.
MC68040 Cache
The MVME162LX local bus masters (VMEchip2, MC68040, 53C710 SCSI controller, and 82596CA Ethernet controller) have programmable control of the snoop/caching mode. The IP DMA local bus master’s snoop control function is controlled by jumper settings at J19. J19 controls the state of the snoop control signals for all IP DMA transfers (including the IP DMA which is executed when the DMA control registers are updated during IP DMA operation in the command chaining mode). The MVME162LX local bus slaves that support MC68040 bus snooping are defined in the Local Bus Memory Map table later in this chapter.

No-VMEbus-Interface Option
The 700/800-series MVME162LX may be operated as an embedded controller without the VMEbus interface. For this option, the VMEchip2 ASIC and the VMEbus buffers are not populated. Also, the bus grant daisy chain and the interrupt acknowledge daisy chain have zero-ohm bypass resistors installed.
To support this feature, certain logic in the VMEchip2 has been duplicated in the MC2chip. This logic is inhibited in the MC2chip when the VMEchip2 is present. The enables for these functions are controlled by software and MC2chip hardware initialization.
Note that MVME162LX models ordered without the VMEbus interface are shipped with Flash memory blank (the factory uses the VMEbus to program the Flash memory with debugger code). To use the 162Bug package, MVME162Bug, be sure that jumper header J21 is configured for the EPROM memory map. Refer to Chapters 2 and 3 for further details.
Contact your local Motorola sales office for ordering information.
Memory Options
The following memory options are used on the different versions of 700/800-series MVME162LX boards.
DRAM Options
The MVME162LX offers the following DRAM options:
4, 8, or 16MB shared DRAM with programmable parity on a mezzanine module
4, 8, 16, or 32MB ECC DRAM on a mezzanine module
The DRAM architecture for non-ECC memory is non-interleaved for 4 or 8MB and interleaved for 16MB. Parity protection is enabled with interrupts or bus exception when a parity error is detected.
1-17

Board Level Hardware Description
DRAM performance is specified in the section on the DRAM Memory Controller in the MC2chip Programming Model in the
MVME162LX Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide.
The DRAM map decoder may be programmed to accommodate different base address(es) and sizes of mezzanine boards. The onboard DRAM is disabled by a local bus reset and must be programmed before the DRAM may be accessed. Refer to the MC2chip and MCECC descriptions in the MVME162LX Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide for detailed programming information.
Most DRAM devices require some number of access cycles before the DRAMs are fully operational. Normally this requirement is met by the onboard refresh circuitry and normal DRAM initialization. However, software should insure a minimum of 10 initialization cycles are performed to each bank of RAM.
SRAM Options
The MVME162LX provides 128KB of 32-bit-wide onboard static RAM in a single non-interleaved architecture with onboard battery backup. The SRAM arrays are not parity protected.
The SRAM battery backup function is provided by a Dallas DS1210S device. The DS1210S supports primary and secondary power sources. When the main board power fails, the DS1210S selects the source with the higher voltage. If one source should fail, the DS1210S switches to the redundant source. Each time the board is powered up, the DS1210S checks power sources and if the voltage of the backup source is less than two volts, the second memory cycle is blocked. This allows software to provide an early warning to avoid data loss. Because the DS1210S may block the second access, software should do at least two accesses before relying on the data.
The MVME162LX provides jumpers (on J14) that allow either power source of the DS1210S to be connected to the VMEbus +5V STDBY pin or to one cell of the onboard battery. For example, the primary system backup source may be a battery connected to the
1-18
Functional Description |

|
VMEbus +5V STDBY pin and the secondary source may be the onboard battery. If the system source should fail or the board is removed from the chassis, the onboard battery takes over. Refer to Chapter 2 for the jumper configurations.
For proper operation of the SRAM, some jumper
! combination must be installed on the respective Backup Caution Power Source Select Header (J14). If one of the jumpers is used to select the battery, the battery must be installed
on the MVME162LX. The SRAM may malfunction if inputs to the DS1210S are left unconnected.
The SRAM is controlled by the MC2chip, and the access time is programmable. Refer to the MC2chip description in the
MVME162LX Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide for more detail.
About the Battery
The power source for the onboard SRAM is a RAYOVAC FB1225 battery with two BR1225-type lithium cells which is socketed for easy removal and replacement. A small capacitor is provided to allow the battery to be quickly replaced without data loss.
The lifetime of the battery is very dependent on the ambient temperature of the board and the power-on duty cycle. The lithium battery supplied on the MVME162LX should provide at least two years of backup time with the board powered off and with an ambient temperature of 40° C. If the power-on duty cycle is 50% (the board is powered on half of the time), the battery lifetime is four years. At lower ambient temperatures, the backup time is greatly extended.
When a board is stored, the battery should be disconnected to prolong battery life. This is especially important at high ambient temperatures. The MVME162LX is shipped with the batteries disconnected (i.e., with VMEbus +5V standby voltage selected as both primary and secondary power source). If you intend to use the

battery as a power source, whether primary or secondary, it is necessary to reconfigure the jumpers on J14 before installing the board. Refer to SRAM Backup Power Source Select Header (J14) on page 2-6 for available jumper configurations
The power leads from the battery are exposed on the solder side of the board. The board should not be placed on a conductive surface or stored in a conductive bag unless the battery is removed.
Lithium batteries incorporate inflammable materials
! such as lithium and organic solvents. If lithium batteries Warning are mistreated or handled incorrectly, they may burst
open and ignite, possible resulting in injury and/or fire. When dealing with lithium batteries, carefully follow the precautions listed below in order to prevent accidents.
Do not short circuit.
Do not disassemble, deform, or apply excessive pressure.
Do not heat or incinerate.
Do not apply solder directly.
Do not use different models, or new and old batteries together.
Do not charge.
Always check proper polarity.
To remove the battery from the module, carefully pull the battery from the socket (BT1, shown in Figure 2-1).
Before installing a new battery, ensure that the battery pins are clean. Note the battery polarity and press the battery into the socket. No soldering is required.
