3.2 DRAM-Equipping
The DRAM-module is controlled by means of the memory controller integrated in the microcontroller
68360. The multiplexing of address lines, however, is the responsibility of its own multiplexers to make
the DRAM also accessible for external PCI-bus masters. The composition of address pairs by the
multiplexer has been selected in a way that the DRAM-module can also be controlled in page mode.
The following table shows the capacities of DRAM-modules which can be used and the formation of
address pairs.

3.3 Timekeeper
The timekeeper offers battery-buffered memory capacity in SRAM-technology. As an additional
function it has got an internal counter with a time basis of one second. The quartz required for this has
been integrated into the case of the battery which can be plugged on. The counter format corresponds
to the date and time coded in BCD format with separate values for year, month, day, weekday, hour,
minute and second. These values are read by reading accesses to particular address areas.
The eight data lines of the timekeeper are connected to the local data lines D24...D31 of the
microcontroller 68360.
