2.2 64-BIT SDRAM UMA CONTROLLER
l 64-bit data bus.
l Up to100 MHz SDRAM clock speed.
l Integrated system memory, graphic frame memory and video frame memory.
l Supports 2MB up to 128 MB system memory
l Supports 16-, 64-, and 128-Mbit SDRAMs.
l Supports 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 MB DIMMs.
l Supports buffered, non-buffered, and registered DIMMs.
l Four-line write buffers for CPU to SDRAM and PCI to SDRAM cycles.
l Four0line read prefetch buffers for PCI masters.
l Programmable latency
l Programmable timing for SDRAM parameters.
l Supports –8, -10, -12, -13, -15 memory parts.
l Supports memory hole between 1 MB and 8 MB for PCI/ISA busses.
The SDRAM controller only supports 64 bit wide Memory Banks.
Four Memory Banks (if DIMMS are used; Single sided or two doubled-sided DIMMs) are supported in the following
configurations.

Memory configurations
The SDRAM Controller supports buffered or unbuffered SDRAM but not EDO or FPM modes. SDRAMs must
support Full Page Mode Type access.
The STPC Memory Controller provides various programmable SDRAM parameters to allow the SDRAM interface
to be optimized for different processor bus speeds SDRAM grades and CAS Latency
