Architecture Overview

MK48T08 RTCRAM
in 256 colors from a palette of 262144. The RAMDAC can be software
configured to support display resolutions of up to 1280 x 1024 in 256 colors
(from a choice of 16M) on external monitors. 16 bit and 24 bit true color
imaging modes are also supported on some configurations. The RAMDAC
also provides numerous power-down features.
1.10
MK48T08 RTCRAM
The MK48T18 provides time-keeping facilities and incorporates 8 Kbytes
of battery-backed non-volatile RAM. The device appears to software as an
ordinary 8K x 8 RAM array. However, the uppermost 8 bytes provides an
accurately updated real-time clock. The battery-backed RAM is used to
store system configuration information, such as manufacturing data and
Ethernet ID, via Tadpole’s implementation of the OpenBoot firmware. The
real time clock provides second, minute, hour, day, date, month and year
information and a calibration register which allows adjustment of the RTC
function in 2ppm steps. The device is accessed via the EBus port of the
SLAVIO device.
1.11
ISDN and 16-Bit Audio Controller
The ISDN and Audio interface consists of two major components: the
AT&T T7259 Dual Basic Rate ISDN Controller; and the Crystal
Semiconductor Corporation CS4215 Multimedia Audio CODEC.
The T7259 has the following major features:
•
Simultaneous terminal endpoint (TE) and network termination (NT)
•
CCITT I.430/ANSI T1.605 support for 4 wire ISDN 2B+D basic
access at the S/T reference point
•
Multiframing support: S&Q channel operation
•
Automatic synchronization of ISDN interfaces
•
On-chip HDLC formatter
•
On-chip 16-channel DMA address generator and linked list buffer
manager
•
Supports AT&T Concentration Highway Interface (CHI)
•
Sbus master and slave interface
The ISDN controller combines a DMAC and data format converter
(Parallel/Serial, Serial/Parallel and Time-Division-Multiplex). It has a
number of DMA channels that can be allocated to support the ISDN or
audio functions. The DMACs provide linked-list command support, and
