completely transparent to the software. By turning off the clock to the block that is idle or not used at that point, the
power consumption is significantly reduced during normal operation.
•
Supports ATI PowerExpress™, and ATI PowerPlay™ (enhanced with the new ATI PowerShift™ feature).
•
Support dynamic lane reduction for the PCI-E interfaces, adjusting lane width according to required bandwidth (not
available on RS690T’s the PCI-E graphics link when lane reversal is in effect).
1.5.13 PC Design Guide Compliance
The RS690M complies with all relevant Windows Logo Program (WLP) requirements from Microsoft for WHQL
certification.
1.5.14 Test Capability Features
The RS690M has a variety of test modes and capabilities that provide a very high fault coverage and low DPM (Defect
Per Million) ratio:
•
Full scan implementation on the digital core logic through ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation) vectors.
•
Dedicated test logic for the on-chip custom memory macros to provide complete coverage on these modules.
•
A JTAG test mode to allow board level testing of neighboring devices.
•
An EXOR tree test mode on all the digital I/O's to allow for proper soldering verification at the board level.
•
A VOH/VOL test mode on all digital I/O’s to allow for proper verification of output high and output low values at the
board level.
•
Improved access to the analog modules to allow full evaluation and characterization.
•
Improved IDDQ mode support to allow chip evaluation through current leakage measurements.
These test modes can be accessed through the settings on the instruction register of the JTAG circuitry.
1.5.15 Additional Features
•
Integrated spread spectrum PLLs on the memory and LVDS interface.
1.5.16 Packaging
•
Single chip solution in 80nm, 1.0-1.2V low power CMOS technology.
•
465-FCBGA package, 21mmx21mm.
