3 Falcon ECC Memory Controller
Chip Set
Introduction
The Falcon DRAM controller ASIC is designed for the MVME2300
family of boards. It is used in sets of two to provide the interface between
the PowerPC 60x bus (also called MPC60x bus or MPC bus) and a 144-bit
ECC-DRAM memory system. It also provides an interface to ROM/Flash.
This chapter provides a functional description and programming model for
the Falcon chip set. Most of the information necessary to use the device in
a system, program it in a system, and test it can be found here.
