GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
At the heart of the STPC Elite is an advanced processor block that includes a powerful x86 processor core along with a 64-bit SDRAM controller, a high speed PCI local-bus controller and Industry standard PC chip set functions (Interrupt controller, DMA Controller, Interval timer and ISA bus) and EIDE controller. The processor bus runs at the speed of the processor (x1 mode) or half the speed (x2 mode). The STMicroelectronics x86 processor core is embedded with standard and application specific peripheral modules on the same silicon die. The core has all the functionality of the ST standard x86 processor products, including the low power System Management Mode (SMM). System Management Mode (SMM) provides an additional interrupt and address space that can be used for system power management or software transparent emulation of peripherals. While running in isolated SMM address space, the SMM interrupt routine can execute without interfering with the operating system or application programs. The `standard' PC chipset functions (DMA, interrupt controller, timers, power management logic) are integrated with the x86 processor core. The PCI bus is the main data communication link to the STPC Elite chip. The STPC Elite translates appropriate host bus I/O and Memory cycles onto the PCI bus. It also supports generation of Configuration cycles on the PCI bus. The STPC Elite, as a PCI bus agent (host bridge class), fully complies with PCI specification 2.1. The chip-set also implements the PCI mandatory header registers in Type 0 PCI configuration space for easy porting of PCI aware system BIOS. The device contains a PCI arbitration function for three external PCI devices. The STPC Elite integrates an ISA bus controller. Peripheral modules such as parallel and serial communications ports, keyboard controllers and additional ISA devices can be accessed by the STPC Elite chip set through this bus. An industry standard EIDE (ATA 2) controller is built in to the STPC Elite and connected internally via the PCI bus. 1.1. MEMORY CONTROLLER The STPC handles the memory data (DATA) bus directly, controlling from 8 to 128 MBytes. The SDRAM controller supports accesses to the Memory Banks to/from the CPU (via the host). Parity is not supported. The SDRAM controller only supports 64 bit wide Memory Banks. Four Memory Banks (if DIMMS are used; Single sided or two double-sided DIMMs) are supported in the following configurations (see Table 1-1) The SDRAM Controller supports buffered or unbuffered SDRAM but not EDO or FPM modes. SDRAMs must support Full Page Mode Type access. The STPC Memory Controller provides various programmable SDRAM parameters to allow the SDRAM interface to be optimized for different processor bus speeds SDRAM speed grades and CAS Latency.

1.2. POWER MANAGEMENT The STPC Elite core is compliant with the Advanced Power Management (APM) specification to provide a standard method by which the BIOS can control the power used by personal computers. The Power Management Unit (PMU) module controls the power consumption, providing a comprehensive set of features that controls the power usage and supports compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Computer Program. The PMU provides the following hardware structures to assist the software in managing the system power consumption: - System Activity Detection.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
- 3 power-down timers detecting system inactivity: - Doze timer (short durations). - Stand-by timer (medium durations). - Suspend timer (long durations). - House-keeping activity detection. - House-keeping timer to cope with short bursts of house-keeping activity while dozing or in stand-by state. - Peripheral activity detection. - Peripheral timer detecting peripheral inactivity - SUSP# modulation to adjust the system performance in various power down states of the system including full power-on state. - Power control outputs to disable power from different planes of the board. Lack of system activity for progressively longer periods of time is detected by the three power down timers. These timers can generate SMI interrupts to CPU so that the SMM software can put the system in decreasing states of power consumption. Alternatively, system activity in a power down state can generate an SMI interrupt to allow the software to bring the system back up to full power-on state. The chip-set supports up to three power down states described above; these correspond to decreasing levels of power savings. Power down puts the STPC Elite into suspend mode. The processor completes execution of the current instruction, any pending decoded instructions and associated bus cycles. During the suspend mode, internal clocks are stopped. Removing power-down, the processor resumes instruction fetching and begins execution in the instruction stream at the point it had stopped. Because of the static nature of the core, no internal data is lost. 1.3. JTAG JTAG stands for Joint Test Action Group and is the popular name for IEEE Std. 1149.1, Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architec-ture. This built-in circuitry is used to assist in the test, maintenance and support of functional circuit blocks. The circuitry includes a standard interface through which instructions and test data are communicated. A set of test features is defined, including a boundary-scan register so that a component is able to respond to a minimum set of test instructions.

2. PIN DESCRIPTION
2.1. INTRODUCTION The STPC Elite integrates most of the functionalities of the PC architecture. As a result, many of the traditional interconnections between the host PC microprocessor and the peripheral devices are totally internal to the STPC Elite. This offers improved performance due to the tight coupling of the processor core and these peripherals. As a result many of the external pin connections are made directly to the on-chip peripheral functions. Figure 2-1 shows the STPC Elite external interfaces. It defines the main buses and their function. Table 2-1 describes the physical implementation listing signals type and their functionality. Table 2-2 provides a full pin listing and description of pins. Table 2-7 provides a full listing of pin locations of the STPC Elite package by physical connection. Table 2-1. Signal Description

PIN DESCRIPTION
2.2. SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS CS#[2]/MA[11] Chip Select/ Bank Address This pin is CS#[2] in the case when 16 Mbit devices are used. For all other densities, it becomes MA[11]. CS#[3]/MA[12]/BA[1] Chip Select/ Memory Address/ Bank Address This pin is CS#[3] in the case when 16Mbit devices are used. For all other densities, it becomes MA[12] when 2 internal banks devices are used and BA[1] when 4 internal bank devices are used. MA[10:0] Memory Address. Multiplexed row and column address lines. BA[0] Memory Bank Address. CS#[1:0] Chip Select. These signals are used to disable or enable device operation by masking or enabling all SDRAM inputs except MCLK, CKE, and DQM. MD[63:0] Memory Data. This is the 64-bit memory data bus. MD[40-0] are read by the device strap option registers during rising edge of SYSRSTI#. RAS#[1:0] Row Address Strobe. There are two active-low row address strobe output signals. The RAS# signals drive the memory devices directly without any external buffering. CAS#[1:0] Column Address Strobe. There are two active-low column address strobe output signals. The CAS# signals drive the memory devices directly without any external buffering. MWE# Write Enable. Write enable specifies whether the memory access is a read (MWE# = H) or a write (MWE# = L). DQM#[7:0] Data Mask. Makes data output Hi-Z after the clock and masks the SDRAM outputs. Blocks SDRAM data input when DQM active.
2.2.1. BASIC CLOCKS AND RESETS
SYSRSTI# System Reset/Power good. This input is low when the reset switch is depressed. Otherwise, it reflects the power supply's power good signal. This input is asynchronous to all clocks, and acts as a negative active reset. The reset circuit initiates a hard reset on the rising edge of this signal. SYSRSTO# Reset Output to System. This is the system reset signal and is used to reset the rest of the components (not on Host bus) in the system. The ISA bus reset is an externally inverted buffered version of this output and the PCI bus reset is an externally buffered version of this output. XTALI 14.3 MHz Crystal Input XTALO 14.3 MHz Crystal Output. These pins are provided for the connection of an external 14.318 MHz crystal to provide the reference clock for the internal frequency synthesizer, from which all other clock signals are generated. The 14.318 MHz series-cut fundamental (not overtone) mode quartz crystal must have an Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR, sometimes referred to as Rm) of less then 50 Ohms (typically 8 Ohms) and a shunt capacitance (Co) of less than 7 pF. Balance capacitors of 16 pF should also be added, one connected to each pin. In the event of an external oscillator providing the master clock signal to the STPC Elite device, the TTL signal should be connected to XTALI. HCLK Host Clock. This clock supplies the CPU and the host related blocks. This clock can e doubled inside the CPU and is intended to operate in the range of 25 to 100 MHz. This clock in generated internally from a PLL but can be driven directly from the external system. GP_CLK General Purpose clock. This clock is programmable and its frequency can be as high as 135 MHz.
2.2.3. PCI INTERFACE
PCI_CLKI 33 MHz PCI Input Clock. This signal is the PCI bus clock input and should be driven from the PCI_CLKO pin. PCI_CLKO 33 MHz PCI Output Clock. This is the master PCI bus clock output. AD[31:0] PCI Address/Data. This is the 32-bit multiplexed address and data bus of the PCI. This bus is driven by the master during the address phase and data phase of write transactions. It is driven by the target during data phase of read transactions. CBE#[3:0] Bus Commands/Byte Enables. These are the multiplexed command and byte enable signals of the PCI bus. During the address phase they define the command and during the data
2.2.2. MEMORY INTERFACE
MCLKI Memory Clock Input. This clock is driving the SDRAM controller. This input should be a buffered version of the MCLKO when more than 4 SDRAM chips are used. Go to section 6.3 for more details. MCLKO Memory Clock Output. This clock is driving the SDRAM devices and is generated from an internal PLL. The default value is 66 MHz.

PIN DESCRIPTION
phase they carry the byte enable information. These pins are inputs when a PCI master other than the STPC Elite owns the bus and outputs when the STPC Elite owns the bus. FRAME# Cycle Frame. This is the frame signal of the PCI bus. It is an input when a PCI master owns the bus and is an output when STPC Elite owns the PCI bus. IRDY# Initiator Ready. This is the initiator ready signal of the PCI bus. It is used as an output when the STPC Elite initiates a bus cycle on the PCI bus. It is used as an input during the PCI cycles targeted to the STPC Elite to determine when the current PCI master is ready to complete the current transaction. TRDY# Target Ready. This is the target ready signal of the PCI bus. It is driven as an output when the STPC Elite is the target of the current bus transaction. It is used as an input when STPC Elite initiates a cycle on the PCI bus. LOCK# PCI Lock. This is the lock signal of the PCI bus and is used to implement the exclusive bus operations when acting as a PCI target agent. DEVSEL# I/O Device Select. This signal is used as an input when the STPC Elite initiates a bus cycle on the PCI bus to determine if a PCI slave device has decoded itself to be the target of the current transaction. It is asserted as an output either when the STPC Elite is the target of the current PCI transaction or when no other device asserts DEVSEL# prior to the subtractive decode phase of the current PCI transaction. STOP# Stop Transaction. Stop is used to implement the disconnect, retry and abort protocol of the PCI bus. It is used as an input for the bus cycles initiated by the STPC Elite and is used as an output when a PCI master cycle is targeted to the STPC Elite. PAR Parity Signal Transactions. This is the parity signal of the PCI bus. This signal is used to guarantee even parity across AD[31:0], CBE#[3:0], and PAR. This signal is driven by the master during the address phase and data phase of write transactions. It is driven by the target during data phase of read transactions. (Its assertion is identical to that of the AD bus delayed by one PCI clock cycle) SERR# System Error. This is the system error signal of the PCI bus. It may, if enabled, be asserted for one PCI clock cycle if target aborts a STPC Elite initiated PCI transaction. Its assertion by either the STPC Elite or by another PCI bus agent will trigger the assertion of NMI to the host CPU. This is an open drain output. PCI_REQ#[2:0] PCI Request. This pin are the three external PCI master request pins. They indicates to the PCI arbiter that the external agents desire use of the bus. PCI_GNT#[2:0] PCI Grant. These pins indicate that the PCI bus has been granted to the master requesting it on its PCIREQ#. PCI_INT[3:0] PCI Interrupt Request. These are the PCI bus interrupt signals.
2.2.4. ISA INTERFACE
ISA_CLK, ISA_CLKX2 ISA Clock x1, x2. These pins generate the Clock signal for the ISA bus and a Doubled Clock signal. They are also used as the multiplexer control lines for the Interrupt Controller Interrupt input lines. ISA_CLK is generated from either PCICLK/4 or OSC14M/ 2. OSC14M ISA bus synchronisation clock Output. This is the buffered 14.318 MHz clock for the ISA bus. LA[23:17] Unlatched Address. When the ISA bus is active, these pins are ISA Bus unlatched address for 16-bit devices. When ISA bus is accessed by any cycle initiated from PCI bus, these pins are in output mode. When an ISA bus master owns the bus, these pins are in input mode. SA[19:0] ISA Address Bus. System address bus of ISA on 8-bit slot. These pins are used as an input when an ISA bus master owns the bus and are outputs at all other times. SD[15:0] I/O Data Bus. These pins are the external databus to the ISA bus. ALE Address Latch Enable. This is the address latch enable output of the ISA bus and is asserted by the STPC Elite to indicate that LA23-17, SA190, AEN and SBHE# signals are valid. The ALE is driven high during refresh, DMA master or an ISA master cycles by the STPC Elite. ALE is driven low after reset. MEMR# Memory Read. This is the memory read command signal of the ISA bus. It is used as an input when an ISA master owns the bus and is an output at all other times. The MEMR# signal is active during refresh. MEMW# Memory Write. This is the memory write command signal of the ISA bus. It is used as an input when an ISA master owns the bus and is an output at all other times. SMEMR# System Memory Read.

PIN DESCRIPTION
when the address is below one megabyte or the cycle is a refresh cycle. SMEMW# System Memory Write. The STPC Elite generates SMEMW# signal of the ISA bus only when the address is below one megabyte. IOR# I/O Read. This is the IO read command signal of the ISA bus. It is an input when an ISA master owns the bus and is an output at all other times. IOW# I/O Write. This is the IO write command signal of the ISA bus. It is an input when an ISA master owns the bus and is an output at all other times. MCS16# Memory Chip Select16. This is the decode of LA23-17 address pins of the ISA address bus without any qualification of the command signal lines. MCS16# is always an input. The STPC Elite ignores this signal during IO and refresh cycles. IOCS16# IO Chip Select16. This signal is the decode of SA15-0 address pins of the ISA address bus without any qualification of the command signals. The STPC Elite does not drive IOCS16# (similar to PC-AT design). An ISA master access to an internal register of the STPC Elite is executed as an extended 8-bit IO cycle. BHE# System Bus High Enable. This signal, when asserted, indicates that a data byte is being transferred on SD15-8 lines. It is used as an input when an ISA master owns the bus and is an output at all other times. ZWS# Zero Wait State. This signal, when asserted by addressed device, indicates that current cycle can be shortened. REF# Refresh Cycle. This is the refresh command signal of the ISA bus. It is driven as an output when the STPC Elite performs a refresh cycle on the ISA bus. It is used as an input when an ISA master owns the bus and is used to trigger a refresh cycle. The STPC Elite performs a pseudo hidden refresh. It requests the host bus for two host clocks to drive the refresh address and capture it in external buffers. The host bus is then relinquished while the refresh cycle continues on the ISA bus. MASTER# Add On Card Owns Bus. This signal is active when an ISA device has been granted bus ownership. AEN Address Enable. Address Enable is enabled when the DMA controller is the bus owner to indicate that a DMA transfer will occur. The enabling of the signal indicates to IO devices to ignore the transfers. IOR#/IOW# signal during DMA
IOCHCK# IO Channel Check. IO Channel Check is enabled by any ISA device to signal an error condition that can not be corrected. NMI signal becomes active upon seeing IOCHCK# active if the corresponding bit in Port B is enabled. IOCHRDY Channel Ready. IOCHRDY is the IO channel ready signal of the ISA bus and is driven as an output in response to an ISA master cycle targeted to the host bus or an internal register of the STPC Elite. The STPC Elite monitors this signal as an input when performing an ISA cycle on behalf of the host CPU, DMA master or refresh. ISA masters which do not monitor IOCHRDY are not guaranteed to work with the STPC Elite since the access to the system memory can be considerably delayed due UMA architecture. ISAOE# Bidirectional OE Control. This signal controls the OE signal of the external transceiver that connects the IDE DD bus and ISA SA bus. GPIOCS# I/O General Purpose Chip Select. This output signal is used by the external latch on ISA bus to latch the data on the SD[7:0] bus. The latch can be use by PMU unit to control the external peripheral devices or any other desired function. IRQ_MUX[3:0] Multiplexed Interrupt Request. These are the ISA bus interrupt signals. They have to be encoded before connection to the STPC Elite using ISACLK and ISACLKX2 as the input selection strobes. Note that IRQ8B, which by convention is connected to the RTC, is inverted before being sent to the interrupt controller, so that it may be connected directly to the IRQ pin of the RTC. DREQ_MUX[1:0] ISA Bus Multiplexed DMA Request. These are the ISA bus DMA request signals. They are to be encoded before connection to the STPC Elite using ISACLK and ISACLKX2 as the input selection strobes. DACK_ENC[2:0] DMA Acknowledge. These are the ISA bus DMA acknowledge signals. They are encoded by the STPC Elite before output and should be decoded externally using ISACLK and ISACLKX2 as the control strobes. TC ISA Terminal Count. This is the terminal count output of the DMA controller and is connected to the TC line of the ISA bus. It is asserted during the last DMA transfer, when the byte count expires.
2.2.5. X-BUS INTERFACE PINS
RTCAS Real time clock address strobe. This signal is asserted for any I/O write to port 70H.

PIN DESCRIPTION
RMRTCCS# ROM/Real Time clock chip select. This signal is asserted if a ROM access is decoded during a memory cycle. It should be combined with MEMR# or MEMW# signals to properly access the ROM. During a IO cycle, this signal is asserted if access to the Real Time Clock (RTC) is decoded. It should be combined with IOR or IOW# signals to properly access the real time clock. KBCS# Keyboard Chip Select. This signal is asserted if a keyboard access is decoded during a I/O cycle. RTCRW# Real Time Clock RW. This pin is a multifunction pin. When ISAOE# is active, this signal is used as RTCRW#. This signal is asserted for any I/O write to port 71H. RTCDS# Real Time Clock DS. This pin is a multifunction pin. When ISAOE# is active, this signal is used as RTCDS# This signal is asserted for any I/ O read to port 71H. Its polarity complies with the DS pin of the MT48T86 RTC device when configured with Intel timings. Note: RMRTCCS#, KBCS#, RTCRW# and RTCDS# signals must be ORed externally with ISAOE# and then connected to the external device. An LS244 or equivalent function can be used if OE# is connected to ISAOE# and the output is provided with a weak pull-up resistor as shown in Design Guidelines chapter. If the toggling of signals are to be masked during ISA bus cycles, they can be externally ORed with ISAOE# before being connected to the IDE devices. DD[15:0] Databus. When the IDE bus is active, they serve as IDE signals DD[11:0]. IDE devices are connected to SA[19:8] directly and ISA bus is connected to these pins through two LS245 transceivers as described in Design Guidelines chapter. PCS1#, PCS3# Primary Chip Select. These signals are used as the active high primary master & slave IDE chip select signals. These signals must be externally ANDed with the ISAOE# signal before driving the IDE devices to guarantee it is active only when ISA bus is idle. SCS1#, SCS3# Secondary Chip Select. These signals are used as the active high secondary master & slave IDE chip select signals. These signals must be externally ANDed with the ISAOE# signal before driving the IDE devices to guarantee it is active only when ISA bus is idle. DIORDY Busy/Ready.

Description
PCICLK Programming; the PCICLK PLL is setup through MD[7:6]. The PLL setup will vary depending on the PCICLK frequency. See Table 3-2 for details.
This bit reflects the value sampled on MD[5] pin and controls the MCLK/ HCLK Synchronization. When MCLK and HCLK frequency are the same, when set to 1 it unifies HCLK and MCLK and so improves system performance.

4.1. INTRODUCTION The electrical specifications in this chapter are valid for the STPC Elite. 4.2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.2.3. RESERVED DESIGNATED PINS
Pins designated as reserved should be left disconnected. Connecting a reserved pin to a pull-up resistor, pull-down resistor, or an active signal could cause unexpected results and possible circuit malfunctions. 4.3. ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS The following table lists the absolute maximum ratings for the STPC Elite device. Stresses beyond those listed under Table 4-1 limits may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and do not imply that operation under any conditions other than those specified in section "Operating Conditions". Exposure to conditions beyond those outlined in Table 4-1 may (1) reduce device reliability and (2) result in premature failure even when there is no immediately apparent sign of failure. Prolonged exposure to conditions at or near the absolute maximum ratings (Table 4-1) may also result in reduced useful life and reliability.
4.2.1. POWER/GROUND DECOUPLING
CONNECTIONS/
Due to the high frequency of operation of the STPC Elite, it is necessary to install and test this device using standard high frequency techniques. The high clock frequencies used in the STPC Elite and its output buffer circuits can cause transient power surges when several output buffers switch output levels simultaneously. These effects can be minimized by filtering the DC power leads with low-inductance decoupling capacitors, using low impedance wiring, and by utilizing all of the VSS and VDD pins.
4.2.2. UNUSED INPUT PINS
No unused input pin should be left unconnected unless they have an integrated pull-up or pulldown. Connect active-low inputs to VDD through a 20 k (10%) pull-up resistor and active-high inputs to VSS. For bi-directionnal active-high inputs, connect to VSS through a 20 k (10%) pull-up resistor to prevent spurious operation.
4.3.1. 5V TOLERANCE
The STPC is capable of running with I/O systems that operate at 5 V such as PCI and ISA devices. Certain pins of the STPC tolerate inputs up to 5.5 V. Above this limit the component is likely to sustain permanent damage.

4.5. AC CHARACTERISTICS This section lists the AC characteristics of the STPC interfaces including output delays, input setup requirements, input hold requirements and output float delays. These measurements are based on the measurement points identified in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2. The rising clock edge reference level VREF and other reference levels are shown in Table 4-7 below. Input or output signals must cross these levels during testing. Figure 4-1 shows output delay (A and B) and input setup and hold times (C and D). Input setup and hold times (C and D) are specified minimums, defining the smallest acceptable sampling window a synchronous input signal must be stable for correct operation.

4.5.1. POWER ON SEQUENCE
Figure 4-3 describes the power-on sequence of the STPC, also called cold reset. There is no dependency between the different power supplies and there is no constraint on their rising time. Strap Options are continuously sampled during SYSRSTI# low and must remain stable. Once SYSRSTI# is high, they MUST NOT CHANGE until SYSRSTO# goes high. Bus activity starts only few clock cycles after the release of SYSRSTO#. The toggling signals depend on the STPC configuration. In ISA mode, activity is visible on PCI prior to the ISA bus as the controller is part of the south bridge. In Local Bus mode, the PCI bus is not accessed and the Flash Chip Select is the control signal to monitor.
SYSRSTI# as no constraint on its rising edge but must stay active until power supplies are all within specifications, a margin of 10s is even recommended to let the STPC PLLs and strap options stabilize. Figure 4-3. Power-on timing diagram

4.5.2 RESET SEQUENCE Figure 4-4 describes the reset sequence of the STPC, also called warm reset.
The constraints on the strap options and the bus activities are the same as for the cold reset. The SYSRSTI# pulse duration must be long enough to have all the strap options stabilized and must be adjusted depending on resistor values. Figure 4-4. Reset timing diagram It is mandatory to have a clean reset pulse without glitches as the STPC could then sample invalid strap option setting and enter into an umpredictable mode. While SYSRSTI# is active, the PCI clock PLL runs in open loop mode at a speed of few 100's KHz.

5.3. SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS High quality, low defect soldering requires identifying the optimum temperature profile for reflowing the solder paste, therefore optimizing the process. The heating and cooling rise rates must be compatible with the solder paste and components. A typical profile consists of a preheat, dryout, reflow and cooling sections. The most critical parameter in the preheat section is to minimize the rate of temperature rise to less than 2C / second, in order to minimize thermal shock on the semi-conductor components. Dryout section is used primarily to ensure that the solder paste is fully dried before hitting reflow temperatures. Solder reflow is accomplished in the reflow zone, where the solder paste is elevated to a temperature greater than the melting point of the solder. Melting temperature must be exceeded by approximately 20C to ensure quality reflow. In reality the profile is not a line, but rather a range of temperatures all solder joints must be exposed. The total temperature deviation from component thermal mismatch, oven loading and oven uniformity must be within the band.

6.2. STPC CONFIGURATION The STPC is a very flexible product thanks to decoupled clock domains and to strap options enabling a user-optimized configuration. As some trade off are often necessary, it is important to do an analysis of the application needs prior to design a system based on this product. The applicative constraints are usually the following: - CPU performance - graphics / video performances - power consumption - PCI bandwidth - booting time - EMC Some other elements can help to tune the choice: - Code size of CPU Consuming tasks - Data size and location On the STPC side, the configurable parameters are the following: - synchronous / asynchronous mode - HCLK speed - MCLK speed - CPU clock ratio (x1, x2) - Local Bus / ISA bus
C 1 2 3
Table 6-2. Main STPC modes
Mode Synchronous Asynchronous Synchronous HCLK MHz 66 66 100 CPU clock clock ratio 133 (x2) 133 (x2) 100 (x1) MCLK MHz 66 100 100
The advantage of the synchronous mode compared to the asynchronous mode is a lower latency when accessing SDRAM from the CPU or the PCI (saves 4 MCLK cycles for the first access of the burst). For the same CPU to Memory transfer performance, MCLK as to be roughly higher by 20MHz between SYNC and ASYNC modes (example: 66MHz SYNC = 96MHz ASYNC). In all cases, use SDRAM with CAS Latency equals to 2 (CL2) for the best performances. The advantage of the asynchronous mode is the capability to reprogram the MCLK speed on the fly. This could help for applications were power consumption must be optimized. Regarding PCI bandwidth, the best is to have HCLK at 100MHz as it gives twice the bandwidth compared to HCLK at 66MHz. The last, and more complex, information to consider is the behaviour of the software. In case high CPU or FPU computation is needed, it is sometime better to be in DX2-133/MCLK=66 synchronous mode than DX2-133/MCLK=100 asynchronous mode. This depends on the locality of the number crunching code and the amount of data manipulated. The Table 6-3 below gives some examples. The right column correspond to the configuration number as described in Table 6-2: Table 6-3. Clock mode selection
Constraints Need CPU power Critical code fits into L1 cache Need CPU power Code or data does not fit into L1 cache Need high PCI bandwitdh Need flexible SDRAM speed C 1 3 3 2
6.2.1. LOCAL BUS / ISA BUS
The selection between the ISA bus and the Local Bus is relatively simple. The first one is a standard bus but slow. The Local Bus is fast and programmable but doesn't support any DMA nor external master mechanisms. The Table 6-1 below summarize the selection: Table 6-1. Bus mode selection
Need Legacy I/O device (Floppy, ...), Super I/O DMA capability (Soundblaster) Flash, SRAM, basic I/O device Fast boot Boot flash of 4MB or more Programmable Chip Select Selection ISA Bus ISA Bus Local Bus Local Bus Local Bus Local Bus
Before implementing a function requiring DMA capability on the ISA bus, it is recommended to check if it exists on PCI, or if it can be implemented differently, in order to use the local bus mode.
6.2.2. CLOCK CONFIGURATION
The CPU clock and the memory clock are independent unless the "synchronous mode" strap option is set (see the STRAP OPTIONS chapter). The potential clock configurations are then relatively limited as listed in Table 6-2.
60/87
Obviously, the values for HCLK or MCLK can be reduced compared to Table 6-2 in case there is no need to push the device at its limits, or when avoiding to use specific frequency ranges (FM radio band for example).

6.3. ARCHITECTURE RECOMMENDATIONS This section describes the recommend implementations for the STPC interfaces. For more details, download the Reference Schematics from the STPC web site.
6.3.1.2. Decoupling of 3.3V and Vcore
A power plane for each of these supplies with one decoupling capacitance for each power pin is the minimum. The use of multiple capacitances with values in decade is the best (for example: 10pF, 1nF, 100nF, 10uF), the smallest value, the closest to the power pin. Connecting the various digital power planes through capacitances will reduce furthermore the overall impedance and electrical noise.
6.3.1. POWER DECOUPLING
An appropriate decoupling of the various STPC power pins is mandatory for optimum behaviour. When insufficient, the integrity of the signals is deteriorated, the stability of the system is reduced and EMC is increased.
6.3.2. 14MHZ OSCILLATOR STAGE
The 14.31818 MHz oscillator stage can be implemented using a quartz, which is the preferred and cheaper solution, or using an external 3.3V oscillator. The crystal must be used in its series-cut fundamental mode and not in overtone mode. It must have an Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR, sometimes referred to as Rm) of less than 50 Ohms (typically 8 Ohms) and a shunt capacitance (Co) of less than 7 pF. The balance capacitors of 16 pF must be added, one connected to each pin, as described in Figure 6-3. In the event of an external oscillator providing the master clock signal to the STPC Atlas device, the LVTTL signal should be connected to XTALI, as described in Figure 6-3. As this clock is the reference for all the other onchip generated clocks, it is strongly recommended to shield this stage, including the 2 wires going to the STPC balls, in order to reduce the jitter to the minimum and reach the optimum system stability.
6.3.1.1. PLL decoupling
This is the most important as the STPC clocks are generated from a single 14MHz stage using multiple PLLs which are highly sensitive analog cells. The frequencies to filter are the 25-50 KHz range which correspond to the internal loop bandwidth of the PLL and the 10 to 100 MHz frequency of the output. PLL power pins can be tied together to simplify the board layout. Figure 6-2. PLL decoupling

6.3.3. SDRAM
The STPC provides all the signals for SDRAM control. Up to 128 MBytes of main memory are supported. All Banks must be 64 bits wide. Up to 4 memory banks are available when using 16Mbit devices. Only up to 2 banks can be connected when using 64Mbit and 128Mbit components due to the reallocation of CS2# and CS3# signals. This is described in Table 6-4 and Table 6-5. Graphics memory resides at the beginning of Bank 0. Host memory begins at the top of graphics memory and extends to the top of populated SDRAM. Bank 0 must always be populated. Figure 6-4, Figure 6-5 and Figure 6-6 show some typical implementations. The purpose of the serial resistors is to reduce signal oscillation and EMI by filtering line reflections. The capacitance in Figure 6-4 has a filtering effect too, while it is used for propagation delay compensation in the 2 other figures.

6.3.6. IPC
Most of the IPC signals are multiplexed: Interrupt inputs, DMA Request inputs, DMA Acknowledge outputs. The figure below describes a complete implementation of the IRQ[15:0] time-multiplexing. When an interrupt line is used internally, the corresponding input can be grounded. In most of the embedded designs, only few interrupts lines are necessary and the glue logic can be simplified.

The figure below describes a complete implementation of the external glue logic for DMA Request time-multiplexing and DMA Acknowledge demultiplexing. Like for the interrupt lines, this logic can be simplified when only few DMA channels are used in the application. This glue logic is not needed in Local bus mode as it does not support DMA transfers.

When the application requires only basic audio capabilities, an audio DAC on the IDE interface can avoid using a PCI-based audio device. This
low cost solution is not CPU consuming thanks to the DMA controller implemented in the IDE controller and can generate 16-bit stereo sound. The clock speed is programmable when using the speaker output.

6.4. PLACE AND ROUTE RECOMMENDATIONS All clock signals have to be routed first and shielded for speeds of 27MHz or higher. The high speed signals follow the same constraints, as for the memory and PCI control signals. The next interfaces to be routed are Memory and PCI. All the analog noise-sensitive signals have to be routed in a separate area and hence can be routed indepedently. Figure 6-15. Shielding signals

6.4.2. MEMORY INTERFACE 6.4.2.1. Introduction 6.4.2.2. SDRAM Clocking Scheme
In order to achieve SDRAM memory interfaces which work at clock frequencies of 100 MHz and above, careful consideration has to be given to the timing of the interface with all the various electrical and physical constraints taken into consideration. The guidelines described below are related to SDRAM components on DIMM modules. For applications where the memories are directly soldered to the motherboard, the PCB should be laid out such that the trace lengths fit within the constraints shown here. The traces could be slightly shorter since the extra routing on the The SDRAM Clocking Scheme deserves a special mention here. Basically the memory clock is generated on-chip through a PLL and goes directly to the MCLKO output pin of the STPC. The nominal frequency is 100 MHz. Because of the high load presented to the MCLK on the board by the DIMMs it is recommended to rebuffer the MCLKO signal on the board and balance the skew to the clock ports of the different DIMMs and the MCLKI input pin of STPC. DIMM PCB is no longer present but it is then up to the user to verify the timings.

6.4.2.3. Board Layout Issues
The physical layout of the motherboard PCB assumed in this presentation is as shown in Figure 6-17. Because all of the memory interface signal balls are located in the same region of the STPC device, it is possible to orientate the device to reduce the trace lengths. The worst case routing length to the DIMM1 is estimated to be 100 mm. Solid power and ground planes are a must in order to provide good return paths for the signals and to reduce EMI and noise. Also there should be ample high frequency decoupling between the power
and ground planes to provide a low impedance path between the planes for the return paths for signal routings which change layers. If possible, the traces should be routed adjacent to the same power or ground plane for the length of the trace.
For the SDRAM interface, the most critical signal is the clock. Any skew between the clocks at the SDRAM components and the memory controller will impact the timing budget. In order to get well matched clocks at all components it is recommended that all the DIMM clock pins, STPC

In other words, all clock line lengths that go from the buffer to the memory chips (MCLKx) and from the buffer to the STPC (MCLKI) must be identical. This is shown in Figure 6-18.

The maximum skew between pins for this part is 250ps. The important factors for the clock buffer are a consistent drive strength and low skew between the outputs. The delay through the buffer is not important so it does not have to be a zero delay PLL type buffer. The trace lengths from the clock driver to the DIMM CKn pins should be matched exactly. Since the propagation speed can vary between PCB layers, the clocks should be routed in a consistent way. The routing to the STPC memory input should be longer by 75 mm to compensate for the extra clock routing on the DIMM. Also a 20 pF capacitor should be placed as near as possible to the clock input of the STPC to compensate for the DIMM's higher clock load. The impedance of the trace used for the clock routing should be matched to the DIMM clock trace impedance (60-75 ohms).To minimise crosstalk the clocks should be routed with spacing to adjacent tracks of at least twice the clock trace width. For designs which use SDRAMs directly mounted on the motherboard PCB all the clock trace lengths should be matched exactly.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
The DIMM sockets should be populated starting with the furthest DIMM from the STPC device first (DIMM1). There are two types of DIMM devices; single-row and dual-row. The dual-row devices require two chip select signals to select between the two rows. A STPC device with 4 chip select control lines could control either 4 single-row DIMMs or 2 dual-row DIMMs. When only 2 chip select control lines are activated, only two singlerow DIMMs or one dual-row DIMM can be controlled. When using DIMM modules, schematics have to be done carefully in order to avoid data buses completely crossing on the board. This has to be checked at the library level. In order to achieve the layout shown in Figure 6-19, schematics have to implement the crossing described in Figure 6-20. The DQM signals must be exchanged using the same order.

6.4.2.4. Summary
For unbuffered DIMMs the address/control signals will be the most critical for timing. The simulations show that for these signals the best way to drive them is to use a parallel termination. For applications where speed is not so critical series termination can be used as this will save power. Using a low impedance such as 50 for these critical traces is recommended as it both reduces the delay and the overshoot. The other memory interface signals will typically be not as critical as the address/control signals. Using lower impedance traces is also beneficial
for the other signals but if their timing is not as critical as the address/control signals they could use the default value. Using a lower impedance implies using wider traces which may have an impact on the routing of the board. The layout of this interface can be validated by an electrical simulation using the IBIS model available on the STPC web site.

6.4.3. PCI INTERFACE 6.4.3.1. Introduction
In order to achieve a PCI interface which work at clock frequencies up to 33MHz, careful consideration has to be given to the timing of the interface with all the various electrical and physical constraints taken into consideration.
6.4.3.2. PCI Clocking Scheme
The PCI Clocking Scheme deserves a special mention here. Basically the PCI clock (PCICLKO) is generated on-chip from HCLK through a programmable delay line and a clock divider. The nominal frequency is 33MHz. This clock must be looped to PCICLKI and goes to the internal South Bridge through a deskewer. On the contrary, the internal North Bridge is clocked by HCLK, putting some additionnal constraints on T0 and T1.

6.4.3.3. Board Layout Issues
The physical layout of the motherboard PCB assumed in this presentation is as shown in Figure 6-22. For the PCI interface, the most critical signal is the clock. Any skew between the clocks at the PCI components and the STPC will impact the timing budget. In order to get well matched clocks at all components it is recommended that all the PCI clocks are individually driven from a serial resistance with matched routing lengths. In other words, all clock line lengths that go from the resistor to the PCI chips (PCICLKx) must be identical. The figure below is for PCI devices soldered onboard. In the case of a PCI slot, the wire length must be shortened by 2.5" to compensate the clock layout on the PCI board. The maximum clock skew between all devices is 2ns according to PCI specifications.

6.4.4. THERMAL DISSIPATION 6.4.4.1. Power saving
Thermal dissipation of the STPC depends mainly on supply voltage. When the system does not need to work at the upper voltage limit, it may therefore be beneficial to reduce the voltage to the lower voltage limit, where possible. This could save a few 100's of mW. The second area to look at is unused interfaces and functions. Depending on the application, some input signals can be grounded, and some blocks not powered or shutdown. Clock speed dynamic adjustment is also a solution that can be used along with the integrated power management unit. With such configuration the Plastic BGA package does 90% of the thermal dissipation through the ground balls, and especially the central thermal balls which are directly connected to the die. The remaining 10% is dissipated through the case. Adding a heat sink reduces this value to 85%. As a result, some basic rules must be followed when routing the STPC in order to avoid thermal problems. As the whole ground layer acts as a heat sink, the ground balls must be directly connected to it, as illustrated in Figure 6-24. If one ground layer is not enough, a second ground plane may be added. When possible, it is important to avoid other devices on-board using the PCB for heat dissipation, like linear regulators, as this would heat the STPC itself and reduce the temperature range of the whole system, In case these devices can not use a separate heat sink, they must not be located just near the STPC
6.4.4.2. Thermal balls
The standard way to route thermal balls to ground layer implements only one via pad for each ball pad, connected using a 8-mil wire.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
When considering thermal dissipation, one of the most important parts of the layout is the connection between the ground balls and the ground layer. A 1-wire connection is shown in Figure 6-25. The use of a 8-mil wire results in a thermal resistance of 105C/W assuming copper is used (418 W/ m.K). This high value is due to the thickness (34 m) of the copper on the external side of the PCB.

Considering only the central matrix of 36 thermal balls and one via for each ball, the global thermal resistance is 2.9C/W. This can be easily improved using four 12.5 mil wires to connect to
The use of a ground plane like in Figure 6-27 is even better.

the four vias around the ground pad link as in Figure 6-26. This gives a total of 49 vias and a global resistance for the 36 thermal balls of 0.5C/ W.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
To avoid solder wicking over to the via pads during soldering, it is important to have a solder mask of 4 mil around the pad (NSMD pad). This gives a diameter of 33 mil for a 25 mil ground pad. To obtain the optimum ground layout, place the vias directly under the ball pads. In this case no local board distortion is tolerated.
Figure 6-27. Optimum Layout for Central Ground Ball - top layer
Clearance = 6mil External diameter = 37 mil Via to Ground layer hole diameter = 14 mil Solder mask diameter = 33 mil
Pad for ground ball diameter = 25 mil connections = 10 mil
6.4.4.3. Heat dissipation
The thickness of the copper on PCB layers is typically 34 m for external layers and 17 m for internal layers. This means that thermal dissipation is not good; high board temperatures are concentrated around the devices and these fall quickly with increased distance. Where possible, place a metal layer inside the PCB; this improves dramatically the spread of
heat and hence the thermal dissipation of the board. The possibility of using the whole system box for thermal dissipation is very useful in cases of high internal temperatures and low outside temperatures. Bottom side of the PBGA should be thermally connected to the metal chassis in order to propagate the heat flow through the metal. Thermally connecting also the top side will improve furthermore the heat dissipation. Figure 6-28 illustrates such an implementation.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
As the PCB acts as a heat sink, the layout of top and ground layers must be done with care to maximize the board surface dissipating the heat. The only limitation is the risk of losing routing channels. Figure 6-29 and Figure 6-30 show a routing with a good thermal dissipation thanks to an optimized placement of power and signal vias. The ground plane should be on bottom layer for the best heat spreading (thicker layer than internal ones) and dissipation (direct contact with air). .

6.5. DEBUG METHODOLOGY In order to bring a STPC-based board to life with the best efficiency, it is recommended to follow the check-list described in this section. must not be more than 100MHz. In x2 CPU clock mode, this clock must be limited to 66MHz. PCI_CLKI and PCI_CLKO must be connected as described in Figure 6-19 and not be higher than 33MHz. Their speed depends on HCLK and on the divider ratio defined by the MD[4] and MD[17] strap options as described in Section 3. To ensure a correct behaviour of the device, the PCI deskewing logic must be configured properly by the MD[7:6] strap options according to Section 3. For timings constraints, refers to Section 4. MCLKI and MCLKO must be connected as described in Figure 6-3 to Figure 6-5 depending on the SDRAM implementation. The memory clock must run at HCLK speed when in synchronous mode and must not be higher than 100MHz in any case.
6.5.1. POWER SUPPLIES
In parallel with the assembly process, it is useful to get a bare PCB to check the potential shortcircuits between the various power and ground planes. This test is also recommended when the first boards are back from assembly. This will avoid bad surprises in case of a short-circuit due to a bad soldering. When the system is powered, all power supplies, including the PLL power pins must be checked to be sure the right level is present. See Table 4-2 for the exact supported voltage range: VDD_CORE: 2.5V VDD_xxxPLL: 2.5V VDD: 3.3V
6.5.2.4. Reset output
If SYSRSTI# and all clocks are correct, then the SYSRSTO# output signal should behave as described in Figure 4-3.
6.5.2. BOOT SEQUENCE 6.5.2.1. Reset input
The checking of the reset sequence is the next step. The waveform of SYSRSTI# must complies with the timings described in Figure 4-3. This signal must not have glitches and must stay low until the 14.31818MHz output (OSC14M) is at the right frequency and the strap options are stabilized to a valid configuration. In case this clock is not present, check the 14MHz oscillator stage (see Figure 6-3).
6.5.3. ISA MODE
Prior to check the ISA bus control signals, PCI_CLKI, ISA_CLK, ISA_CLK2X, and DEV_CLK must be running properly. If it is not the case, it is probably because one of the previous steps has not been completed.
6.5.3.1. First code fetches
When booting on the ISA bus, the two key signals to check at the very beginning are RMRTCCS# and FRAME#. The first one is a Chip Select for the boot flash and is multiplexed with the IDE interface. It should toggle together with ISAOE# and MEMRD# to fetch the first 16 bytes of code. This corresponds to the loading of the first line of the CPU cache. In case RMRTCCS# does not toggle, it is then necessary to check the PCI FRAME# signal. Indeed the ISA controller is part of the South Bridge and all ISA bus cycles are visible on the PCI bus. If there is no activity on the PCI bus, then one of the previous steps has not been checked properly. If there is activity then there must be something conflicting on the ISA bus or on the PCI bus.
6.5.2.2. Strap options
The STPC has been designed in a way to allow configurations for test purpose that differs from the functional configuration. In many cases, the troubleshootings at this stage of the debug are the resulting of bad strap options. This is why it is mandatory to check they are properly setup and sampled during the boot sequence. The list of all the strap options is summarized at the beginning of Section 3.
6.5.2.3. Clocks
Once OSC14M is checked and correct, the next signals to measure are the Host clock (HCLK), PCI clocks (PCI_CLKO, PCI_CLKI) and Memory clock (MCLKO, MCLKI). HCLK must run at the speed defined by the corresponding strap options (see Table 3-1) and
6.5.3.2. Boot Flash size

DESIGN GUIDELINES
RMRTCCS# cycle to inform the ISA controller of a 16-bit device.
6.5.4.1. First code fetches
When booting on the Local Bus, the key signal to check at the very beginning is FCS0#. This signal is a Chip Select for the boot flash and should toggle together with PRD# to fetch the first 16 bytes of code. This corresponds to the loading of the first line of the CPU cache. In case FCS0# does not toggle, then one of the previous steps has not been done properly, like HCLK speed and CPU clock multiplier (x1, x2).
6.5.3.3. POST code
Once the 16 first bytes are fetched and decoded, the CPU core continue its execution depending on the content of these first data. Usually, it corresponds to a JUMP instruction and the code fetching continues, generating read cycles on the ISA bus. Most of the BIOS and boot loaders are reading the content of the flash, decompressing it in SDRAM, and then continue the execution by jumping to the entry point in RAM. This boot process ends with a JUMP to the entry point of the OS launcher. These various steps of the booting sequence are codified by the so-called POST codes (Power-On Self-Test). A 8-bit code is written to the port 80H at the beginning of each stage of the booting process (I/O write to address 0080H) and can be displayed on two 7-segment display, enabling a fast visual check of the booting completion level. Usually, the last POST code is 0x00 and corresponds to the jump into the OS launcher. When the execution fails or hangs, the lastest written code stays visible on that display, indicating either the piece of code to analyse, either the area of the hardware not working properly.
6.5.4.2. Boot Flash size
The Local Bus support 16-bit boot memory devices only.
6.5.4.3. POST code
Like in ISA mode, POST codes can be implemented on the Local Bus. The difference is that an IOCS# must be programmed at I/O address 80H prior to writing these code, the POST display being connected to this IOCS# and to the lower 8 bits of the bus.
6.5.5. SUMMARY
Here is a check-list for the STPC board debug from power-on to CPU execution. For each step, in case of failure, verify first the corresponding balls of the STPC: - check if the voltage or activity is correct - search for potential shortcuts. For troubleshooting in steps 5 to 10, verify the related strap options: - value & connection. Refer to Section 3. - see Figure 4-3 for timing constraints Steps 8a and 9a are for debug in ISA mode while steps 8b and 9b are for Local Bus mode.
Troubleshooting Measure voltage near STPC balls: - use very low GND connection. Add some decoupling capacitor: - the smallest, the nearest to STPC balls. The 2 capacitors used with the quartz must match with the capacitance of the crystal. Try other values. Verify reset generation circuit: - device reference - components value HCLK wire must be as short as possible
6.5.4. LOCAL BUS MODE
As the Local Bus controller is located into the Host interface, there is no access to the cycles on the PCI, reducing the amount of signals to check.

Measure PCICLKO: - maximum is 33MHz by standard - check it is at selected frequency - it is generated from HCLK by a division (1/2, 1/3 or 1/4) Check PCICLKI equals PCICLKO Measure MCLKO: - use a low-capacitance probe - maximum is 100MHz - check it is at selected frequency - In SYNC mode MCLK=HCLK - in ASYNC mode, default is 66MHz Check MCLKI equals MCLKO Measure SYSRSTO# of STPC See Figure 4-3 for waveforms. Check PCI signals are toggling: - FRAME#, IRDY#, TRDY#, DEVSEL# - these signals are active low. Check, with a logic analyzer, that first PCI cycles are the expected ones: memory read starting at address with lower bits to 0xFFF0 Troubleshooting
6
PCI clocks
Verify PCICLKO loops to PCICLKI. Verify maximum skew between any PCI clock branch is below 2ns. In Synchronous mode, check MCLKI.
7
Memory clocks
Verify load on MCLKI. Verify MCLK programming (BIOS setting).
4
SYSRSTO#
Verify SYSRSTI# duration. Verify SYSRSTI# has no glitch Verify clocks are running.
8a
PCI cycles
Verify PCI slots If the STPC don't boot - verify data read from boot memory is OK - ensure Flash is correctly programmed - ensure CMOS is cleared.
9a
ISA cycles to boot memory
Check RMRTCCS# & MEMRD# Check directly on boot memory pin
Verify MEMCS16#: - must not be asserted for 8-bit memory Verify IOCHRDY is not be asserted Verify ISAOE# pin: - it controls IDE / ISA bus demultiplexing Verify HCLK speed and CPU clock mode. If the STPC don't boot - verify data read from boot memory is OK - ensure Flash is correctly programmed - ensure CMOS is cleared.
8b Local Bus cycles to boot memory
Check FCS0# & PRD# Check directly on boot memory pin Check, with a logic analyzer, that first Local Bus cycles are the expected one: memory read starting at the top of boot memory less 16 bytes
9b
The CPU fills its first cache line by fetching 16 bytes from boot memory. Then, first instructions are executed from the CPU. 10 Any boot memory access done after the first 16 bytes are due to the instructions executed by the CPU => Minimum hardware is correctly set, CPU executes code. Please have a look to the Bios Writer's Guide or Programming Manual to go further with your board testing.
