DATA BUFFER DESCRIPTION
UltraSPARC-II Data Buffer (UDB-II)
The UltraSPARC™-II module has two UltraSPARC-II data buffers (UDB-II) - each a 256 pin BGA device - for
a UPA Interconnect system bus width of 128 Data + 16 ECC.
There is a bidirectional flow of information between the external cache of the CPU and the 144-bit UPA interconnect. The information flow is linked through the UDB-II, it includes: cache fill requests, writeback data for
dirty displaced cache lines, copyback data for cache entries requested by the system, non-cacheable loads and
stores, and interrupt vectors going to and from the CPU.
Each UDB-II has a 64-bit interface plus eight parity bits on the CPU side, and a 64-bit interface plus eight error
correction code (ECC) bits on the system side.
The CPU side of the UDB-II is clocked with the same clock delivered to UltraSPARC-II (1/2 of the CPU pipeline frequency).
EXTERNAL CACHE DESCRIPTION
The external cache is connected to the E-cache data bus. Nine SRAM chips are used to implement the four
megabyte cache. One SRAM is used as the tag SRAM and eight are used as data SRAMs. The tag SRAM is
128K x 36, while the data SRAMs are 256K x 18. All nine SRAMs operate in synchronous register-latch mode.
The SRAM interface to the CPU runs at one-half of the frequency of the CPU pipeline. The SRAM signals
operate at 1.9V HSTL. The SRAM clock is a differential low-voltage HSTL input.
[1]
1. PECL (Positive Emitter Coupled Logic) clocks are converted on the module to the HSTL clocks, for the E-cache
interface.

All signals that interface with the system are compatible with LVTTL levels. The clock inputs at the module
connector, CPU_CLK, UPA_CLK0, and UPA_CLK1, are differential low-voltage PECL compatible.

Module ID
Module IDs are used to configure the UPA address of a module. The UPA_PORT_ID[4:3] are hardwired on
the module to “0”. UPA_PORT_ID[1:0] are brought out to the connector pins. Each module is hardwired in
the system to a fixed and unique UPA address. This feature supports systems with four or fewer processors.
For systems that need to support eight modules, UPA_SPEED[1] is connected to SYSID[2] in UDB-II to provide UPA_PORT_ID[2].
Systems which support more than eight modules must map the limited set of UPA_PORT_IDsfrom this module to the range of required UPA_PORT_IDs, by implementation-specific means in the system.
System firmware (Open Boot Prom) uses UPA_CONFIG_REG[42:39] for generating correct clocks to the CPU
module and the UPA system ASICs. These bits are hardwired on the module and are known at MCAP[3:0] at
the UltraSPARC-II pins. The 4-bit MCAP value for this module is 0111b.
Module Power
Two types of power are required for this module: VDDat 3.3V, and V
DD_CORE
at 2.6V. The V
DD_CORE
supplies the
DC-DC regulator which in turn supplies 1.9 volts to the core of the processor chip, the UDB-II external cache
interface I/O, and the SRAM I/O. A resistor located on the module sends the program value to the power
supply so it generates V
at 2.6V to the regulator.
DD_CORE
JTAG Interface
The JTAG TCK signal is distributed to UDB-II, SRAMs and the CPU. For additional information about the
JTAG interface, see "JTAG Testability," on page 22, and "JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) Timing," on page 23.

UPA AND CPU CLOCKS
Module Clocks
The module receives threedifferential pair low voltage PECL (LVPECL) clock signals (CPU_CLK, UPA_CLK0
and UPA_CLK1) from the systemboard and terminates them. The CPU_CLK is unique in the system, but the
UPA_CLKs are two of many UPA clock inputs in the system.
The CPU_CLK operates at 1/2 the CPU core frequency. The UPA_CLKs operate at the UPA bus frequency.
The CPU to UPA clock ratios refer to the CPUcore to UPAbus clock signal frequency. The CPU on the module
will automatically sense the clock ratio driven by the systemboard as long as the module clock timing is
satisfied.
The UltraSPARC-II CPU and UDB-II data buffers detect and support multiple CPU to UPA clock frequency
ratios. The UltraSPARC™–II, 400 MHz CPU, 4.0 Mbyte module is production tested in the 4:1 ratio (400 MHz
CPU and 100 MHz UPA). It can be qualified at other ratios in specific systemboards.

UltraSPARC-II CPU Module
400 MHz, 4 Mbyte E-cache4:13:1, 5:1, 6:1
System Clocks
The systemboard generates and distributes the CPU and UPA LVPECL clocks. The systemboard includes a
frequency generator, frequency divider, clock buffers, and terminators.
The buffers fan-out the LVPECL clocks to the many UPA devices: the module, cross-bar data switches, system
controller, FFB, and the system I/O bridge. The LVPECL clock trace pairs are routed source-to-destination.
Each net is terminated at the destination. Most destinations are to single devices. The PCB traces for the
LVPECL clocks are balanced to provide a high degree of synchronous UPA device operation.
Frequency Ratio
Other supported CPU to UPA Frequency Ratios
System Clock Distribution
The goal of this clock distribution is to deliver a quality clock to each system UPA device simultaneously and
with the correct clock relationships to the module clocks. For a discussion on how to layout and balance the
systemboard LVPECL clock signals and UPAbus signals, see the UPA Electrical Bus Design Note (Document
Part Number: 805-0089).
The effective length of the CPU_CLK, UPA_CLK0, and UPA_CLK1 clocks signals on the module are provided
in the UPA AC Timing Specification section of this data sheet.
The block diagram for the LVPECLclocks "Clock Signal Distribution," on page 10, illustrates a typical system
clock distribution network. Each clock line is a parallel-terminated, dual trace LVPECL clock signal for the
CPU, the UPA and the SRAM devices.

Figure 3. Clock Signal Distribution
LOW VOLTAGE PECL
Two trace signals compose each clock: one positive signal and one negative signal. Each signal is 180-degrees
out of phase with the other. Signal timing is referenced to when the positive LVPECL signal transitions from
low to high at the cross-over point, when the negative signal transitions from high to low. The trace-pair are
routed side-by-side and use parallel termination, (specific routing techniques are require).
CPU CLOCK INPUT
The PLL in the CPU doubles the clock frequency presented at its clock pin. So, for a 400 MHz core CPU clock
frequency, the CPU_CLK signal is 200 MHz. Therefore, for the CPU, actions will appear to occur at both transitions of the input CPU_CLK.
CLOCK TRACE DELAYS
The LVPECL propagation time is constant for all clock signals so all balancing is based on length rather than
time. All LVPECL traces are striplines (dielectric and power planes top and bottom) with a fixed 180 ps per
inch propagation time using the FR4, PCB Dielectric.

UPAACTIMING SPECIFICATIONS
The UPA AC Timing Specifications are referenced to the UPA connector. The timing assumes that the clocks
are correctly distributed, (see the section "System Clock Distribution," on page 9). The effective PCB clock
trace lengths (CPU_CLK, UPA_CLK0 and UPA_CLK1) are used to calculate a balanced clock system.
UPA_CLK Module Clocks
All the UPA_CLKx trace pairs are the same length coming from the clock buffer and going to each load. To
calculate UPA_CLK0 and UPA_CLK1 for the module, assume the trace lengths on the module are 9 inches,
(which includes the module connector).
CPU_CLK Module Clock
The CPU_CLK trace on the system board is typically only a few inches long. It is the length of the traces used
for the UPA_CLKs from the clock buffer plus the length of UPA_CLK from the clock divider to the clock
buffer minus the effective trace length of CPU_CLK on the module, 18 inches, including the module
connector.
Clock Buffers
The Clock buffer on the systemboard and the clock buffer on the module are assumed to have similar delays.
The clock buffers have a 600 ps delay.
Timing References
The setup, hold and clock to output timing specifications are referenced at the module connector for the signal and at the system UPA device pin. There is no reference point associated with the module since the
module trace lengths provided above are effective lengths only and may not represent actual traces.
The following table specifies the AC timing parameters for the UPA bus. For waveform illustrations see the
