MCECC

Introduction

This chapter describes the ECC DRAM Controller ASIC (MCECC) used
on the memory mezzanine boards with ECC protection. The MCECC is
designed for the 200/300-Series MVME172 boards and is used in a set of
two, to provide the interface to a 144-bit wide DRAM memory system.
Note that the 400/500-Series MVME172 does not contain this chip.

Features

Allows 2-1-1-1 memory accesses (sustained) for burst writes

Allows 4-1-1-1 memory accesses (sustained) for burst reads (5-1-1-
1 with BERR on or when FSTRD is cleared)

Supports byte, two-byte, four-byte, and cache line read or write
transfers

Programmable base address for DRAM

Built-in refresh timer and refresh controller
