Functional Description
This family of secondary cache modules is designed for Intel
P54C/P55C systems with the OPTi Viper chip set.
CYM74B550 is a low cost asynchronous cache module that
provides 256-Kbytes of cache with industry standard 32Kx8 5
volt SRAMs and 3.3 volt level translators. These modules offer
3-2-2-2 performance at CPU bus speeds up to 66 MHz.
The synchronous modules are available with low cost synchro-
nous pipelined RAMs or high performance synchronous burst
RAMs.
The CYM74P550A is a high performance synchronous pipe-
lined burst 256 KB module and is based on industry standard
32Kx32 pipelined BSRAM. The CYM74P550A has series
damping resistors on the data lines.
The CYM74S550 and CYM74S551 are high performance syn-
chronous burst cache modules that provide 256-Kbytes and
512-Kbytes of cache respectively. These modules support
3-1-1-1 performance at 66 MHz.
All of these modules include storage for 8-bits of tag and one
dirty bit. Multiple ground pins and on-board decoupling capac-
itors ensure high performance with maximum noise immunity.
All components on the cache modules are surface mounted on
a multi-layer epoxy laminate (FR-4) substrate. The contact
pins are plated with 100 micro-inches of nickel covered by 10
micro-inches of gold flash.
