Raven PCI Host Bridge & Multi-Processor
Interrupt Controller Chip
Introduction
This chapter describes the architecture and usage of the Raven, a PowerPC
to PCI Local Bus Bridge ASIC. The Raven is intended to provide
PowerPC 60x (MPC60x) compliant devices access to devices residing on
the PCI Local Bus. In the remainder of this chapter, the MPC60x bus will
be referred to as the MPC bus and the PCI Local Bus as PCI. PCI is a high
performance 32-bit or 64-bit, burst mode, synchronous bus capable of
transfer rates of 132MB/sec in 32-bit mode or 264MB/sec in 64-bit mode
using a 33 MHz clock.
