4.2.3.1 ALI M1521 (Memory, Cache and DRAM Controller)
The M1521 provides the system controller and data path components for the Extensa
900 Pentium-based system. It provides 64-bit CPU bus interface, 32-bit PCI bus
interface, 64/72 DRAM data bus with ECC or parity, secondary cache interface
including pipeline burst SRAM or asynchronous SRAM, PCI master to DRAM interface,
four PCI master arbiters, and a UMA arbiter. The M1521 bus interfaces are designed
to interface with 3V and 5V buses. It directly connects to 3V CPU bus, 3V or 5V tag,
3V or 5V DRAM bus, and 5V PCI bus.
