Falcon ECC Memory Controller Chip Set

Note that the Falcon pair does not assert TEA_ on double-bit errors. In fact,
the Falcon pair does not have a TEA_ signal pin and it assumes that the
system does not implement TEA_. The Falcon can, however, assert
machine check (MCP_) on double-bit error.
Notes:
1. No opportunity for error since no read of DRAM occurs during a
four-beat write.

Single-Bit
Error
Terminate the Pow-
erPC 60x bus cycle
normally.
Provide corrected data
to the PowerPC 60x
bus master.
Assert INT_ if so
enabled.
Terminate the Pow-
erPC 60x bus cycle
normally.
Correct the data read
from DRAM, merge
with the write data, and
write the corrected,
merged data to DRAM.
Assert INT_ if so
enabled.
N/A
1
This cycle is not seen
on the PowerPC 60x
bus.
Write corrected data
back to DRAM if so
enabled.
Assert INT_ if so
enabled.
Double-Bit
Error
Terminate the Pow-
erPC 60x bus cycle
normally.
Provide miss-cor-
rected, raw DRAM
data to the PowerPC
60x bus master.
Assert INT_ if so
enabled.
Assert MCP_ if so
enabled.
Terminate the Pow-
erPC 60x bus cycle
normally.
Do not perform the
write portion of the
read-modify-write cycle
to DRAM.
Assert INT_ if so
enabled.
Assert MCP_ if so
enabled.
N/A
1
This cycle is not seen
on the PowerPC 60x
bus.
Do not perform the
write portion of the
read-modify-write
cycle to DRAM.
Assert INT_ if so
enabled.
Triple- (or
greater)
Bit Error
Some of these errors are detected correctly and are treated the same as double-bit errors. The
rest could show up as “no error” or “single-bit error”, both of which are incorrect.
