GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
At the heart of the STPC Atlas is an advanced
processor block that includes a powerful x86
processor core along with a 64-bit SDRAM
controller, advanced 64-bit accelerated graphics
and video controller, a high speed PCI bus
controller and industry standard PC chip set
functions (Interrupt controller, DMA Controller,
Interval timer and ISA bus).
The STPC Atlas has in addition, a TFT output, a
Video Input, an EIDE controller, a Local Bus
interface, PCMCIA and super I/O features
including USB host hub.
1.1. ARCHITECTURE
The STPC Atlas makes use of a tightly coupled
Unified Memory Architecture (UMA), where the
same memory array is used for CPU main
memory and graphics frame-buffer. This means a
reduction in total system memory for system
performances that are equal to that of a
comparable frame buffer and system memory
based system, and generally much better, due to
the higher memory bandwidth allowed by
attaching the graphics engine directly to the 64-bit
processor host interface running at the speed of
the processor bus rather than the traditional PCI
bus.
The 64-bit wide memory array provides the
system with an 800MB/s peak bandwidth. This
allows for higher resolution screens and greater
color depth. The processor bus runs at 133 MHz,
further increasing “standard” bandwidth by at least
a factor of two.
The ‘standard’ PC chipset functions (DMA,
interrupt controller, timers, power management
logic) are integrated together with the x86
processor core; additional low bandwidth
functions such as communication ports are
accessed by the STPC Atlas via an internal ISA
bus.
The PCI bus is the main data communication link
to the STPC Atlas chip. The STPC Atlas translates
appropriate host bus I/O and Memory cycles onto
the PCI bus. It also supports the generation of
Configuration cycles on the PCI bus. The STPC
Atlas, as a PCI bus agent (host bridge class), is
compatible with PCI specification 2.1. The chipset also implements the PCI mandatory header
registers in Type 0 PCI configuration space for
easy porting of PCI aware system BIOS. The
device contains a PCI arbitration function for three
external PCI devices.
Figure 1-1 describes this architecture.
1.2. GRAPHICS FEATURES
Graphics functions are controlled through the onchip SVGA controller and the monitor display is
produced through the 2D graphics display engine.
This Graphics Engine is tuned to work with the
host CPU to provide a balanced graphics system
with a low silicon area cost. It performs limited
graphics drawing operations which include
hardware acceleration of text, bitblts, transparent
blts and fills. The results of these operations
change the contents of the on-screen or offscreen frame buffer areas of SDRAM memory.
The frame buffer can occupy a space up to 4
Mbytes anywhere in the physical main memory.
The maximum graphics resolution supported is
1280 x 1024 in 16 Million colours at 75 Hz refresh
rate and is VGA and SVGA compatible. Horizontal
timing fields are VGA compatible while the vertical
fields are extended by one bit to accommodate
above display resolution.
To generate the TFT output, the STPC Atlas
extracts the digital video stream before the
RAMDAC and reformats it to the TFT format. The
height and width of the flat panel are
programmable.
1.3. INTERFACES
An industry standard EIDE (ATA 2) controller is
built in to the STPC Atlas and connected internally
via the PCI bus.
The STPC Atlas integrates two USB ports.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a general purpose
communications
interface
for
connecting
peripherals to a PC. The USB Open Host
Controller Interface (Open HCI) Specification,
revision 1.1, supports speeds of up to 12 MB/s.
USB is royalty free and is likely to replace lowspeed legacy serial, parallel, keyboard, mouse
and floppy drive interfaces. USB Revision 1.1 is
fully supported under Microsoft Windows 98 and
Windows 2000.
The STPC Atlas PCMCIA controller has been
specifically designed to provide the interface with
PCMCIA cards which contain additional memory
or I/O
The power management control facilities include
socket power control, insertion/removal capability,
power saving with Windows inactivity, NCS
controlled Chip Power Down, together with further
controls for 3.3V suspend with Modem Ring
Resume Detection.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The STPC Atlas implements a multi-function
parallel port. The standard PC/AT compatible
logical address assignments for LPT1, LPT2 and
LPT3 are supported. It can be configured for any
of the following three modes and supports the
IEEE Standard 1284 parallel interface protocol
standards, as follows:
- Compatibility Mode (Forward channel, standard)
- Nibble Mode (Reverse channel, PC compatible)
- Byte Mode (Reverse channel, PS/2 compatible)
The General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
interface provides a 16-bit I/O facility, using 16
dedicated device pins. It is organised using two
blocks of 8-bit Registers, one for lines 0 to 7, the
other for lines 8 to 15.
Each GPIO port can be configured as an input or
an output simply by programming the associated
port direction control register. All GPIO ports are
configured as inputs at reset, which also latches
the input levels into the Strap Registers. The input
states of the ports are thus recorded automatically at reset, and this can be used as a strap
register anywhere in the system.
1.4. FEATURE MULTIPLEXING
The STPC Atlas BGA package has 516 balls. This
however is not sufficient for all of the integrated
functions available; some features therefore share
the same balls and cannot thus be used at the
same time. The STPC Atlas configuration is done
by ‘strap options’. This is a set of pull-up or pulldown resistors on the memory data bus, checked
on reset, which auto-configure the STPC Atlas.
There 3 multiplexed functions are the external ISA
bus, the Local Bus and the PCMCIA interface.
1.5. POWER MANAGEMENT
The STPC Atlas core is compliant with the
Advanced
Power
Management
(APM)
specification to provide a standard method by
which the BIOS can control the power used by
personal computers. The Power Management
Unit (PMU) module
controls the power
consumption, providing a comprehensive set of
features that controls the power usage and
supports compliance with the United States
Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star
Computer Program. The PMU provides the
following hardware structures to assist the
software in managing the system power
consumption:
- House-keeping activity detection.
- House-keeping timer to cope with short bursts of
house-keeping activity while dozing or in stand-by
state.
- Peripheral activity detection.
- Peripheral timer detecting peripheral inactivity
- SUSP# modulation to adjust the system
performance in various power down states of the
system including full power-on state.
- Power control outputs to disable power from
different planes of the board.
Lack of system activity for progressively longer
periods of time is detected by the three power
down timers. These timers can generate SMI
interrupts to CPU so that the SMM software can
put the system in decreasing states of power
consumption. Alternatively, system activity in a
power down state can generate an SMI interrupt
to allow the software to bring the system back up
to full power-on state. The chip-set supports up to
three power down states described above; these
correspond to decreasing levels of power savings.
Power down puts the STPC Atlas into suspend
mode. The processor completes execution of the
current instruction, any pending decoded
instructions and associated bus cycles. During the
suspend mode, internal clocks are stopped.
Removing power-down, the processor resumes
instruction fetching and begins execution in the
instruction stream at the point it had stopped.
Because of the static nature of the core, no
internal data is lost.
1.6. JTAG
JTAG stands for Joint Test Action Group and is
the popular name for IEEE Std. 1149.1, Standard
Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture. This built-in circuitry is used to assist in the
test, maintenance and support of functional circuit
blocks. The circuitry includes a standard interface
through which instructions and test data are
communicated. A set of test features is defined,
including a boundary-scan register so that a
component is able to respond to a minimum set of
test instructions.
- System Activity Detection.
- 3 power-down timers detecting system inactivity:
- Doze timer (short durations).
- Stand-by timer (medium durations).
- Suspend timer (long durations).

1.7. CLOCK TREE
The speed of the PLLs is either fixed (DEVCLK),
either programmable by strap option (HCLK)
either programmable by software (DCLK, MCLK).
When in synchronized mode, MCLK speed is fixed
to HCLKO speed and HCLKI is generated from
MCLKI.
The STPC Atlas integrates many features and
generates all its clocks from a single 14MHz
oscillator. This results in multiple clock domains as
described in Figure 1-2.

2.1. INTRODUCTION
The STPC Atlas integrates most of the
functionalities of the PC architecture. Therefore,
many of the traditional interconnections between
the host PC microprocessor and the peripheral
devices are totally internal to the STPC Atlas. This
offers improved performance due to the tight
coupling of the processor core and it’s peripherals.
As a result many of the external pin connections
are made directly to the on-chip peripheral
functions.
Table 2-1 describes the physical implementation
listing signal types and their functionalities. Table
2-2 provides a full pin listing and description.
Table 2-6 provides a full listing of the STPC Atlas
package pin location physical connection. Please
refer to the pin allocation drawing for reference.
Due to the number of pins available for the
package, and the number of functional I/Os, some
pins have several functions, selectable by strap
option on Reset. Table 2-4 provides a summary of
these pins and their functions.
Non multi-functional pins associated with a
particular function are not available for use
elsewhere when that function is disabled. For
example, when in the ISA mode, the Local Bus is

PIN DESCRIPTION
2.2. SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.2.1. BASIC CLOCKS AND RESETS
SYSRSTI# System Reset/Power good. This input
is low when the reset switch is depressed.
Otherwise, it reflects the power supply’s power
good signal. PWGD is asynchronous to all clocks,
and acts as a negative active reset. The reset
circuit initiates a hard reset on the rising edge of
PWGD.
Note that while Reset is being asserted, the
signals on the device pins are in an unknown
state.
SYSRSTO# Reset Output to System. This is the
system reset signal and is used to reset the rest of
the components (not on Host bus) in the system.
The ISA bus reset is an externally inverted
buffered version of this output and the PCI bus
reset is an externally buffered version of this
output.
XTALI 14.3 MHz Crystal Input
XTALO 14.3 MHz Crystal Output. These pins are
provided for the connection of an external 14.318
MHz crystal to provide the reference clock for the
internal frequency synthesizer, from which the
HCLK and CLK24M signals are generated.
PCI_CLKI 33 MHz PCI Input Clock. This signal
must be connected to a clock generator and is
usually connected to PCI_CLKO.
PCI_CLKO 33 MHz PCI Output Clock. This is the
master PCI bus clock output.
ISA_CLK ISA Clock Output (also Multiplexer
Select Line For IPC). This pin produces the Clock
signal for the ISA bus. It is also used with
ISA_CLK2X as the multiplexer control lines for the
Interrupt Controller Interrupt input lines. This is a
divided down version of the PCICLK or OSC14M.
ISA_CLKX2 ISA Clock Output (also Multiplexer
Select Line For IPC). This pin produces a signal at
twice the frequency of the ISA bus Clock signal. It
is also used with ISA_CLK as the multiplexer
control lines for the Interrupt Controller Interrupt
input lines.
CLK14M ISA bus synchronisation clock. This is
the buffered 14.318 MHz clock to the ISA bus.
HCLK Host Clock. This is the host clock. Its
frequency can vary from 25 to 66 MHz. All host
transactions
and
PCI
transactions
are
synchronized to this clock. Host transactions
executed by the DRAM controller are also driven
by this clock.
DEV_CLK 24 MHz Peripheral Clock (floppy
drive). This 24 MHz signal is provided as a
convenience for the system integration of a Floppy
Disk driver function in an external chip. This clock
signal is not available in Local Bus mode.
DCLK 135 MHz Dot Clock. This is the dot clock,
which drives graphics display cycles. Its frequency
can be as high as 135 MHz, and it is required to
have a worst case duty cycle of 60-40. For further
details, refer to Section 3.1.4. bit 4.
2.2.2. MEMORY INTERFACE
MCLKI Memory Clock Input. This clock is driving
the SDRAM controller, the graphics engine and
display controller. This input should be a buffered
version of the MCLKO signal with the track lengths
between the buffer and the pin matched with the
track lengths between the buffer and the Memory
Banks.
MCLKO Memory Clock Output. This clock drives
the Memory Banks on board and is generated
from an internal PLL.
The STPC Atlas MClock signal can run up to
100MHz reliably, but PCB layout is so critical that
the maximum guaranteed speed is 90MHz
CS#[1:0] Chip Select These signals are used to
disable or enable device operation by masking or
enabling all SDRAM inputs except MCLK, CKE,
and DQM.
CS#[2]/MA[11] Chip Select/Bank Address This
pin is CS#[2] in the case when 16-Mbit devices are
used. For all other densities, it becomes MA[11].
CS#[3]/MA[12]/BA[1] Chip Select/ Memory
Address/ Bank Address This pin is CS#[3] in the
case when 16 Mbit devices are used. For all other
densities, it becomes MA[12] when 2 internal
banks devices are used and BA[1] when 4 internal
bank devices are used.
MA[10:0] Memory Address. Multiplexed row and
column address lines.
BA[0] Bank Address. Internal bank address line.
MD[63:0] Memory Data. This is the 64-bit memory
data bus. This bus is also used as input at the
rising edge of SYSRSTI# to latch in power-up
configuration information into the ADPC strap
registers.
RAS#[1:0] Row Address Strobe. There are two
active-low row address strobe output signals. The
RAS# signals drive the memory devices directly
without any external buffering.
Issue 1.0 - July 24, 2002
19/111
PIN DESCRIPTION
CAS#[1:0] Column Address Strobe. There are
two active-low column address strobe output
signals. The CAS# signals drive the memory
devices directly without any external buffering.
MWE# Write Enable. Write enable specifies
whether the memory access is a read (MWE# = H)
or a write (MWE# = L). This single write enable
controls all DRAMs. The MWE# signals drive the
memory devices directly without any external
buffering.
DEVSEL# prior to the subtractive decode phase of
the current PCI transaction.
PAR Parity Signal Transactions. This is the parity
signal of the PCI bus. This signal is used to
guarantee even parity across AD[31:0],
CBE[3:0]#, and PAR. This signal is driven by the
master during the address phase and data phase
of write transactions. It is driven by the target
during data phase of read transactions. (Its
assertion is identical to that of the AD bus delayed
by one PCI clock cycle)
2.2.3. PCI INTERFACE
PERR# Parity Error
AD[31:0] PCI Address/Data. This is the 32-bit
multiplexed address and data bus of the PCI. This
bus is driven by the master during the address
phase and data phase of write transactions. It is
driven by the target during data phase of read
transactions.
PBE[3:0]# Bus Commands/Byte Enables. These
are the multiplexed command and Byte enable
signals of the PCI bus. During the address phase
they define the command and during the data
phase they carry the Byte enable information.
These pins are inputs when a PCI master other
than the STPC Atlas owns the bus and outputs
when the STPC Atlas owns the bus.
FRAME# Cycle Frame. This is the frame signal of
the PCI bus. It is an input when a PCI master owns
the bus and is an output when STPC Atlas owns
the PCI bus.
TRDY# Target Ready. This is the target ready
signal of the PCI bus. It is driven as an output
when the STPC Atlas is the target of the current
bus transaction. It is used as an input when STPC
Atlas initiates a cycle on the PCI bus.
IRDY# Initiator Ready. This is the initiator ready
signal of the PCI bus. It is used as an output when
the STPC Atlas initiates a bus cycle on the PCI
bus. It is used as an input during the PCI cycles
targeted to the STPC Atlas to determine when the
current PCI master is ready to complete the
current transaction.
STOP# Stop Transaction. STOP# is used to
implement the disconnect, retry and abort protocol
of the PCI bus. It is used as an input for the bus
cycles initiated by the STPC Atlas and is used as
an output when a PCI master cycle is targeted to
the STPC Atlas.
DEVSEL# Device Select. This signal is used as
an input when the STPC Atlas initiates a bus cycle
on the PCI bus to determine if a PCI slave device
has decoded itself to be the target of the current
transaction. It is asserted as an output either when
the STPC Atlas is the target of the current PCI
transaction or when no other device asserts
20/111
SERR# System Error. This is the system error
signal of the PCI bus. It may, if enabled, be
asserted for one PCI clock cycle if target aborts a
STPC Atlas initiated PCI transaction. Its assertion
by either the STPC Atlas or by another PCI bus
agent will trigger the assertion of NMI to the host
CPU. This is an open drain output.
LOCK# PCI Lock. This is the lock signal of the PCI
bus and is used to implement the exclusive bus
operations when acting as a PCI target agent.
PCI_REQ#[2:0] PCI Request. These pins are the
three external PCI master request pins. They
indicates to the PCI arbiter that the external
agents desire use of the bus.
PCI_GNT#[2:0] PCI Grant. These pins indicate
that the PCI bus has been granted to the master
requesting it on its PCI_REQ#.
PCI_INT#[3:0] PCI Interrupt Request. These are
the PCI bus interrupt signals. They are to be
encoded before connection to the STPC Atlas
using ISACLK and ISACLKX2 as the input
selection strobes.
2.2.4. ISA BUS INTERFACE
LA[23:17] Unlatched Address. These unlatched
ISA Bus pins address bits 23-17 on 16-bit devices.
When the ISA bus is accessed by any cycle
initiated from the PCI bus, these pins are in output
mode. When an ISA bus master owns the bus,
these pins are tristated.
SA[19:0] Unlatched Address. These are the 20
low bits of the system address bus of ISA. These
pins are used as an input when an ISA bus master
owns the bus and are outputs at all other times.
SD[15:0] I/O Data Bus (ISA). These are the
external ISA databus pins.
IOCHRDY IO Channel Ready. IOCHRDY is the IO
channel ready signal of the ISA bus and is driven
as an output in response to an ISA master cycle
targeted to the host bus or an internal register of
Issue 1.0 - July 24, 2002
PIN DESCRIPTION
the STPC Atlas. The STPC Atlas monitors this
signal as an input when performing an ISA cycle
on behalf of the host CPU, DMA master or refresh.
ISA masters which do not monitor IOCHRDY are
not guaranteed to work with the STPC Atlas since
the access to the system memory can be
considerably delayed due to CRT refresh or a
write back cycle.
ALE Address Latch Enable. This is the address
latch enable output of the ISA bus and is asserted
by the STPC Atlas to indicate that LA23-17, SA190, AEN and SBHE# signals are valid. The ALE is
driven high during refresh, DMA master or an ISA
master cycles by the STPC Atlas.
ALE is driven low after reset.
BHE# System Bus High Enable. This signal, when
asserted, indicates that a data Byte is being
transferred on SD15-8 lines. It is used as an input
when an ISA master owns the bus and is an
output at all other times.
MEMR# Memory Read. This is the memory read
command signal of the ISA bus. It is used as an
input when an ISA master owns the bus and is an
output at all other times.
The MEMR# signal is active during refresh.
MEMW# Memory Write. This is the memory write
command signal of the ISA bus. It is used as an
input when an ISA master owns the bus and is an
output at all other times.
SMEMR# System Memory Read. The STPC Atlas
generates SMEMR# signal of the ISA bus only
when the address is below one MByte or the cycle
is a refresh cycle.
SMEMW# System Memory Write. The STPC
Atlas generates SMEMW# signal of the ISA bus
only when the address is below one MByte.
IOR# I/O Read. This is the IO read command
signal of the ISA bus. It is an input when an ISA
master owns the bus and is an output at all other
times.
IOW# I/O Write. This is the IO write command
signal of the ISA bus. It is an input when an ISA
master owns the bus and is an output at all other
times.
MASTER# Add On Card Owns Bus. This signal is
active when an ISA device has been granted bus
ownership.
MCS16# Memory Chip Select16. This is the
decode of LA23-17 address pins of the ISA
address bus without any qualification of the
command signal lines. MCS16# is always an
input. The STPC Atlas ignores this signal during
IO and refresh cycles.
IOCS16# IO Chip Select16. This signal is the
decode of SA15-0 address pins of the ISA
address bus without any qualification of the
command signals. The STPC Atlas does not drive
IOCS16# (similar to PC-AT design). An ISA
master access to an internal register of the STPC
Atlas is executed as an extended 8-bit IO cycle.
REF# Refresh Cycle. This is the refresh command
signal of the ISA bus. It is driven as an output
when the STPC Atlas performs a refresh cycle on
the ISA bus. It is used as an input when an ISA
master owns the bus and is used to trigger a
refresh cycle.
The STPC Atlas performs a pseudo hidden
refresh. It requests the host bus for two host
clocks to drive the refresh address and capture it
in external buffers. The host bus is then
relinquished while the refresh cycle continues on

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
4. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
4.1. INTRODUCTION
4.2.3. RESERVED DESIGNATED PINS
The electrical specifications in this chapter are
valid for the STPC Atlas.
Pins designated as reserved should be left disconnected. Connecting a reserved pin to a pull-up
resistor, pull-down resistor, or an active signal
could cause unexpected results and possible
circuit malfunctions.
4.2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.2.1.
POWER/GROUND
DECOUPLING
CONNECTIONS/
Due to the high frequency of operation of the
STPC Atlas, it is necessary to install and test this
device using standard high frequency techniques.
The high clock frequencies used in the STPC
Atlas and its output buffer circuits can cause
transient power surges when several output
buffers switch output levels simultaneously. These
effects can be minimized by filtering the DC power
leads with low-inductance decoupling capacitors,
using low impedance wiring, and by utilizing all of
the VSS and VDD pins.
4.2.2. UNUSED INPUT PINS
No unused input pin should be left unconnected
unless they have an integrated pull-up or pulldown. Connect active-low inputs to VDD through a
20 kΩ (±10%) pull-up resistor and active-high
inputs to VSS. For bi-directionnal active-high
inputs, connect to VSS through a 20 kΩ (±10%)
pull-up resistor to prevent spurious operation.
4.3. ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
The following table lists the absolute maximum
ratings for the STPC Atlas device. Stresses
beyond those listed under Table 4-1 limits may
cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only and do not imply that
operation under any conditions other than those
specified in section "Operating Conditions".
Exposure to conditions beyond those outlined in
Table 4-1 may (1) reduce device reliability and (2)
result in premature failure even when there is no
immediately apparent sign of failure. Prolonged
exposure to conditions at or near the absolute
maximum ratings (Table 4-1) may also result in
reduced useful life and reliability.
4.3.1. 5V TOLERANCE
The STPC is capable of running with I/O systems
that operate at 5 V such as PCI and ISA devices.
Certain pins of the STPC tolerate inputs up to
5.5 V. Above this limit the component is likely to
sustain permanent damage.
All 5 volt tolerant pins are outlined in Table 2-3
Buffer Type Descriptions.

This section lists the AC characteristics of the
STPC interfaces including output delays, input
setup requirements, input hold requirements and
output float delays. These measurements are
based on the measurement points identified in
Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2. The rising clock edge
reference level VREF and other reference levels
Figure 4-1 shows output delay (A and B) and input
setup and hold times (C and D). Input setup and

4.5.1. POWER ON SEQUENCE
Strap Options are continuously sampled during
SYSRSTI# low and must remain stable. Once
SYSRSTI# is high, they MUST NOT CHANGE
until SYSRSTO# goes high.
Figure 4-3 describes the power-on sequence of
the STPC, also called cold reset.
Bus activity starts only few clock cycles after the
release of SYSRSTO#. The toggling signals
depend on the STPC configuration.
In ISA mode, activity is visible on PCI prior to the
ISA bus as the controller is part of the south
bridge.
In Local Bus mode, the PCI bus is not accessed
and the Flash Chip Select is the control signal to
monitor.
There is no dependency between the different
power supplies and there is no constraint on their
rising time.
SYSRSTI# as no constraint on its rising edge but
must stay active until power supplies are all within
specifications, a margin of 10µs is even
recommended to let the STPC PLLs and strap
options stabilize.

4.5.2 RESET SEQUENCE
Figure 4-4 describes the reset sequence of the
STPC, also called warm reset.
The constraints on the strap options and the bus
activities are the same as for the cold reset.
The SYSRSTI# pulse duration must be long
enough to have all the strap options stabilized and
must be adjusted depending on resistor values.
It is mandatory to have a clean reset pulse without
glitches as the STPC could then sample invalid
strap option setting and enter into an umpredictable mode.
While SYSRSTI# is active, the PCI clock PLL runs
in open loop mode at a speed of few 100’s KHz.

5.3. SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Dryout section is used primarily to ensure that
the solder paste is fully dried before hitting reflow
temperatures.
High quality, low defect soldering requires
identifying the optimum temperature profile for
reflowing the solder paste, therefore optimizing
the process. The heating and cooling rise rates
must be compatible with the solder paste and
components. A typical profile consists of a
preheat, dryout, reflow and cooling sections.
Solder reflow is accomplished in the reflow zone,
where the solder paste is elevated to a
temperature greater than the melting point of the
solder. Melting temperature must be exceeded by
approximately 20°C to ensure quality reflow.
The most critical parameter in the preheat
section is to minimize the rate of temperature rise
to less than 2°C / second, in order to minimize
thermal
shock
on
the
semi-conductor
components.
In reality the profile is not a line, but rather a range
of temperatures all solder joints must be
exposed. The total temperature deviation from
component thermal mismatch, oven loading and
oven uniformity must be within the band.

6.1. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The STPC Atlas is well suited for many
applications.
Some
of
the
possible
implementations are described below.
6.1.1. THIN CLIENT
A Thin-Client is a terminal running ICATM (Citrix)
or RDPTM (Microsoft) protocol. The display is
computed by the server and sent in a compressed
way to the terminal for display. The same
streaming approach is used for sending the
keyboard/mouse/USB data to the server.
These protocols have room for dedicated data
channels in case the terminal is not ’thin’ and can
execute locally some applications, hence
optimizing the bandwidth usage. For example, if a
terminal has browsing or MPEG decoding
capability, the server will provide internet source
files or MPEG streaming.
The same hardware can run X-terminal protocol
and can be reconfigured by the server when
booting on the network by uploading a different
OS and application.

6.1.2. INTERNET TERMINAL
The internet terminal described here is an
optimized implementation where the STPC Atlas
board is integrated into the CRT itself. The
advantages are a reduced overall cost and a good
image definition.
The STPC Atlas platform being integrated into the
monitor itself enables the choice of a limited
amount of horizontal frequencies and simplifies
the CRT driving stage:
- 1024x768: 56.5KHz horizontal, 70Hz vertical
- 800x600: 53.7KHz horizontal, 85Hz vertical
Like for the Thin-Client, an external MPEG
decoder can be connected to the STPC Atlas
through the PCI bus and the Video Input Port.
The same concept can be applied using a TFT
display instead of a CRT.

6.2. STPC CONFIGURATION
Table 6-2. Main STPC modes
The STPC is a very flexible product thanks to
decoupled clock domains and to strap options
enabling a user-optimized configuration.
As some trade off are often necessary, it is
important to do an analysis of the application
needs prior to design a system based on this
product. The applicative constraints are usually
the following:
- CPU performance
- graphics / video performances
- power consumption
- PCI bandwidth
- booting time
- EMC
Some other elements can help to tune the choice:
- Code size of CPU Consuming tasks
- Data size and location
On the STPC side, the configurable parameters
are the following:
- synchronous / asynchronous mode
- HCLK speed
- MCLK speed
- Local Bus / ISA bus
6.2.1. LOCAL BUS / ISA BUS
The selection between the ISA bus and the Local
Bus is relatively simple. The first one is a standard
bus but slow. The Local Bus is fast and
programmable but doesn't support any DMA nor
external master mechanisms. The Table 6-1
below summarize the selection:
Table 6-1. Bus mode selection
Need
Legacy I/O device (Floppy, ...), Super I/O
DMA capability (Soundblaster)

Before implementing a function requiring DMA
capability on the ISA bus, it is recommended to
check if it exists on PCI, or if it can be
implemented differently, in order to use the local
bus mode.

The advantage of the synchronous mode
compared to the asynchronous mode is a lower
latency when accessing SDRAM from the CPU or
the PCI (saves 4 MCLK cycles for the first access
of the burst). For the same CPU to Memory
transfer performance, MCLK has to be roughly
higher by 20MHz between SYNC and ASYNC
modes to get the same system performance level
(example: 66MHz SYNC = 86MHz ASYNC) .
In all cases, use SDRAM with CAS Latency
equals to 2 (CL2) for the best performances.
The advantage of the asynchronous mode is the
capability to reprogram the MCLK speed on the
fly. This could help for applications where power
consumption must be optimized.
The last, and more complex, information to
consider is the behaviour of the software. In case
high CPU or FPU computation is needed, it is
sometime better to be in DX2-133/MCLK=66
synchronous mode than DX2-133/MCLK=90
asynchronous mode. This depends on the locality
of the number crunching code and the amount of
data manipulated.
The Table 6-3 below gives some examples. The
right column correspond to the configuration
number as described in Table 6-2:

Obviously, the values for HCLK or MCLK can be
reduced compared to Table 6-2 in case there is no
need to push the device at its limits, or when
avoiding to use specific frequency ranges (FM
radio band for example).
6.2.2. CLOCK CONFIGURATION
6.3. ARCHITECTURE RECOMMENDATIONS
The CPU clock and the memory clock are
independent unless the "synchronous mode"
strap option is set (see the STRAP OPTIONS
chapter). The potential clock configurations are
then relatively limited as listed in Table 6-2.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
6.3.1. POWER DECOUPLING
An appropriate decoupling of the various STPC
power pins is mandatory for optimum behaviour.
When insufficient, the integrity of the signals is
deteriorated, the stability of the system is reduced
and EMC is increased.
minimum. The use of multiple capacitances with
values in decade is the best (for example: 10pF,
1nF, 100nF, 10uF), the smallest value, the closest
to the power pin. Connecting the various digital
power planes through capacitances will reduce
furthermore the overall impedance and electrical
noise.
6.3.1.1. PLL decoupling
6.3.2. 14MHZ OSCILLATOR STAGE
This is the most important as the STPC clocks are
generated from a single 14MHz stage using
multiple PLLs which are highly sensitive analog
cells. The frequencies to filter are the 25-50 KHz
range which correspond to the internal loop
bandwidth of the PLL and the 10 to 100 MHz
frequency of the output. PLL power pins can be
tied together to simplify the board layout.
The 14.31818 MHz oscillator stage can be
implemented using a quartz, which is the
preferred and cheaper solution, or using an
external 3.3V oscillator.
Figure 6-3. PLL decoupling
PWR
VDD_PLL
The crystal must be used in its series-cut
fundamental mode and not in overtone mode. It
must have an Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR,
sometimes referred to as Rm) of less than 50
Ohms (typically 8 Ohms) and a shunt capacitance
(Co) of less than 7 pF. The balance capacitors of
16 pF must be added, one connected to each pin,
as described in Figure 6-4.
In the event of an external oscillator providing the
master clock signal to the STPC Atlas device, the
LVTTL signal should be connected to XTALI, as
described in Figure 6-4.

memory banks are available when using 16Mbit
devices. Only up to 2 banks can be connected

to the reallocation of CS2# and CS3# signals. This

The purpose of the serial resistors is to reduce
signal oscillation and EMI by filtering line
reflections. The capacitance in Figure 6-5 has a
filtering effect too, while it is used for propagation
delay compensation in the 2 other figures.

Figure 6-15.
All the resistors and capacitors have to be as
close as possible to the STPC while the circuit
protector DALC112S1 must be close to the VGA
connector.
The DDC[1:0] lines, not represented here, have
also to be protected when they are used on the
VGA connector.
COL_SEL can be used when implementing the
Picture-In-Picture function outside the STPC, for
example when multiplexing an analog video
source. In that case, the CRTC of the STPC has to
be genlocked to this analog source.
DCLK is usually used by the TFT display which
has RGB inputs in order to synchronise the picture
at the level of the pixel.
When the VGA interface is not needed, the signals
R, G, B, HSYNC, VSYNC, COMP, RSET can be
left unconnected, VSS_DAC and VDD_DAC must
then be connected to GND.

RECOMMENDATIONS
All clock signals have to be routed first and
shielded for speeds of 27MHz or higher. The high
speed signals follow the same constraints, as for
the memory and PCI control signals.
6.4.1. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Some STPC Interfaces run at high speed and
need to be carefully routed or even shielded like:
The next interfaces to be routed are Memory, PCI,
and Video/graphics.
All the analog noise-sensitive signals have to be
routed in a separate area and hence can be
routed indepedently.

6.4.2. PLL DEFINITION AND IMPLIMENTATION
PLLs are analog cells which supply the internal
STPC Clocks. To get the cleanest clock, the jitter
on the power supply must be reduced as much as
possible. This will result in a more stable system.
Each of the integrated PLL has a dedicated power
pin so a single power plane for all of these PLLs,

or one wire for each, or any solution in between
which help the layout of the board can be used.
Powering these pins with one Ferrite +
capacitances is enough. We recommend at least
2 capacitances: one 'big' (few uF) for power
storage, and one or 2 smalls (100nF + 1nF) for
noise filtering.

6.4.3. MEMORY INTERFACE
DIMM PCB is no longer present but it is then up to
the user to verify the timings.
6.4.3.1. Introduction
6.4.3.2. SDRAM Clocking Scheme
In order to achieve SDRAM memory interfaces
which work at clock frequencies of 90 MHz and
above, careful consideration has to be given to the
timing of the interface with all the various electrical
and physical constraints taken into consideration.
The guidelines described below are related to
SDRAM components on DIMM modules. For
applications where the memories are directly
soldered to the motherboard, the PCB should be
laid out such that the trace lengths fit within the
constraints shown here. The traces could be
slightly shorter since the extra routing on the
The SDRAM Clocking Scheme deserves a special
mention here. Basically the memory clock is
generated on-chip through a PLL and goes
directly to the MCLKO output pin of the STPC. The
nominal frequency is 90 MHz. Because of the high
load presented to the MCLK on the board by the
DIMMs it is recommended to rebuffer the MCLKO
signal on the board and balance the skew to the
clock ports of the different DIMMs and the MCLKI
input pin of STPC.

6.4.3.3. Board Layout Issues
The physical layout of the motherboard PCB
assumed in this presentation is as shown in Figure
6-22. Because all of the memory interface signal
balls are located in the same region of the STPC
device, it is possible to orientate the device to
reduce the trace lengths. The worst case routing
length to the DIMM1 is estimated to be 100 mm.
Solid power and ground planes are a must in order
to provide good return paths for the signals and to
reduce EMI and noise. Also there should be ample
high frequency decoupling between the power

and ground planes to provide a low impedance
path between the planes for the return paths for
signal routings which change layers. If possible,
the traces should be routed adjacent to the same
power or ground plane for the length of the trace.
For the SDRAM interface, the most critical signal
is the clock. Any skew between the clocks at the
SDRAM components and the memory controller
will impact the timing budget. In order to get well
matched clocks at all components it is
recommended that all the DIMM clock pins, STPC

memory clock input (MCLKI) and any other
component using the memory clock are
individually driven from a low skew clock driver
with matched routing lengths. In other words, all
clock line lengths that go from the buffer to the
memory chips (MCLKx) and from the buffer to the
STPC (MCLKI) must be identical.
This is shown in Figure 6-23.

The maximum skew between pins for this part is
250ps. The important factors for the clock buffer
are a consistent drive strength and low skew
between the outputs. The delay through the buffer
is not important so it does not have to be a zero
delay PLL type buffer. The trace lengths from the
clock driver to the DIMM CKn pins should be
matched exactly. Since the propagation speed
can vary between PCB layers, the clocks should
be routed in a consistent way. The routing to the
STPC memory input should be longer by 75 mm to
compensate for the extra clock routing on the
DIMM. Also a 20 pF capacitor should be placed as
near as possible to the clock input of the STPC to
compensate for the DIMM’s higher clock load. The
impedance of the trace used for the clock routing
should be matched to the DIMM clock trace
impedance (60-75 ohms) To minimise crosstalk
the clocks should be routed with spacing to
adjacent tracks of at least twice the clock trace
width. For designs which use SDRAMs directly
mounted on the motherboard PCB all the clock
trace lengths should be matched exactly.
.
The DIMM sockets should be populated starting
with the furthest DIMM from the STPC device first
(DIMM1). There are two types of DIMM devices;
single-row and dual-row. The dual-row devices
require two chip select signals to select between
the two rows. A STPC device with 4 chip select
control lines could control either 4 single-row
DIMMs or 2 dual-row DIMMs. When only 2 chip
select control lines are activated, only two single-
row DIMMs or one dual-row DIMM can be
controlled.
6.4.3.4. Summary
For unbuffered DIMMs the address/control signals
will be the most critical for timing. The simulations
show that for these signals the best way to drive
them is to use a parallel termination. For
applications where speed is not so critical series
termination can be used as this will save power.
Using a low impedance such as 50Ω for these
critical traces is recommended as it both reduces
the delay and the overshoot.
The other memory interface signals will typically
be not as critical as the address/control signals.
Using lower impedance traces is also beneficial
for the other signals but if their timing is not as
critical as the address/control signals they could
use the default value. Using a lower impedance
implies using wider traces which may have an
impact on the routing of the board.
The layout of this interface can be validated by an
electrical simulation using the IBIS model
available on the STPC web site.

6.4.4.2. PCI Clocking Scheme
6.4.4.1. Introduction
The PCI Clocking Scheme deserves a special
mention here. Basically the PCI clock (PCICLKO)
is generated on-chip from HCLK through a
programmable delay line and a clock divider. The
nominal frequency is 33MHz. This clock must be
looped to PCICLKI and goes to the internal South
Bridge through a deskewer. On the contrary, the
internal North Bridge is clocked by HCLK, putting
some additionnal constraints on T0 and T1.
In order to achieve a PCI interface which work at
clock frequencies up to 33MHz, careful
consideration has to be given to the timing of the
interface with all the various electrical and
physical constraints taken into consideration.

The physical layout of the motherboard PCB

is the clock. Any skew between the clocks at the
PCI components and the STPC will impact the
timing budget. In order to get well matched clocks
at all components it is recommended that all the

resistance with matched routing lengths. In other
words, all clock line lengths that go from the
resistor to the PCI chips (PCICLKx) must be
identical.
The figure below is for PCI devices soldered onboard. In the case of a PCI slot, the wire length
must be shortened by 2.5" to compensate the
clock layout on the PCI board. The maximum
clock skew between all devices is 2ns according
to PCI specifications.

6.4.5. THERMAL DISSIPATION
6.4.5.1. Power saving
Thermal dissipation of the STPC depends mainly
on supply voltage. When the system does not
need to work at the upper voltage limit, it may
therefore be beneficial to reduce the voltage to the
lower voltage limit, where possible. This could
save a few 100’s of mW.
The second area to look at is unused interfaces
and functions. Depending on the application,
some input signals can be grounded, and some
blocks not powered or shutdown. Clock speed
dynamic adjustment is also a solution that can be
used along with the integrated power
management unit.
6.4.5.2. Thermal balls
With such configuration the Plastic BGA package
does 90% of the thermal dissipation through the
ground balls, and especially the central thermal
balls which are directly connected to the die. The
remaining 10% is dissipated through the case.
Adding a heat sink reduces this value to 85%.
As a result, some basic rules must be followed
when routing the STPC in order to avoid thermal
problems.
As the whole ground layer acts as a heat sink, the
ground balls must be directly connected to it, as
illustrated in Figure 6-31. If one ground layer is not
enough, a second ground plane may be added.
When possible, it is important to avoid other
devices on-board using the PCB for heat
dissipation, like linear regulators, as this would
heat the STPC itself and reduce the temperature
range of the whole system, In case these devices
can not use a separate heat sink, they must not be
located just near the STPC
The standard way to route thermal balls to ground
layer implements only one via pad for each ball
pad, connected using a 8-mil wire.

When considering thermal dissipation, one of the
most important parts of the layout is the
connection between the ground balls and the
ground layer.
A 1-wire connection is shown in Figure 6-32. The
use of a 8-mil wire results in a thermal resistance
of 105°C/W assuming copper is used (418 W/
m.°K). This high value is due to the thickness (34
µm) of the copper on the external side of the PCB.

Considering only the central matrix of 36 thermal
balls and one via for each ball, the global thermal
resistance is 2.9°C/W. This can be easily
improved using four 12.5 mil wires to connect to
the four vias around the ground pad link as in
Figure 6-33. This gives a total of 49 vias and a
global resistance for the 36 thermal balls of 0.5°C/
W.
Figure 6-33. Recommended 4-wire Ground Pad Layout

The use of a ground plane like in Figure 6-34 is
even better.
Issue 1.0 - July 24, 2002

DESIGN GUIDELINES
To obtain the optimum ground layout, place the
vias directly under the ball pads. In this case no
local board distortion is tolerated.
To avoid solder wicking over to the via pads during
soldering, it is important to have a solder mask of
4 mil around the pad (NSMD pad). This gives a
diameter of 33 mil for a 25 mil ground pad.

6.4.5.3. Heat dissipation
heat and hence the thermal dissipation of the
board.
The thickness of the copper on PCB layers is
typically 34 µm for external layers and 17 µm for
internal layers. This means that thermal
dissipation is not good; high board temperatures
are concentrated around the devices and these
fall quickly with increased distance.
The possibility of using the whole system box for
thermal dissipation is very useful in cases of high
internal
temperatures
and
low
outside
temperatures. Bottom side of the PBGA should be
thermally connected to the metal chassis in order
to propagate the heat flow through the metal.
Thermally connecting also the top side will
improve furthermore the heat dissipation. Figure
6-35 illustrates such an implementation.
Where possible, place a metal layer inside the
PCB; this improves dramatically the spread of

As the PCB acts as a heat sink, the layout of top
and ground layers must be done with care to
maximize the board surface dissipating the heat.
The only limitation is the risk of losing routing
channels. Figure 6-36 and Figure 6-37 show a
routing with a good thermal dissipation thanks to
an optimized placement of power and signal vias.
The ground plane should be on bottom layer for
the best heat spreading (thicker layer than internal
ones) and dissipation (direct contact with air). .

6.5. DEBUG METHODOLOGY
In order to bring a STPC-based board to life with
the best efficiency, it is recommended to follow the
check-list described in this section.
6.5.1. POWER SUPPLIES
In parallel with the assembly process, it is useful to
get a bare PCB to check the potential shortcircuits between the various power and ground
planes. This test is also recommended when the
first boards are back from assembly. This will
avoid bad surprises in case of a short-circuit due
to a bad soldering.
When the system is powered, all power supplies,
including the PLL power pins must be checked to
be sure the right level is present. See Table 4-2 for
the exact supported voltage range:
VDD_CORE: 2.5V
VDD_xxxPLL: 2.5V
VDD: 3.3V
PCI_CLKI and PCI_CLKO must be connected as
described in Figure 6-19 and not be higher than
33MHz. Their speed depends on HCLK and on
the divider ratio defined by the MD[4] and MD[17]
strap options as described in Section 3.
To ensure a correct behaviour of the device, the
PCI deskewing logic must be configured properly
by the MD[7:6] strap options according to Section
3. For timings constraints, refers to Section 4.
1) MCLKI and MCLKO must be connected as
described in Figure 6-3 to Figure 6-5 depending
on the SDRAM implementation. The memory
clock must run at HCLK speed when in
synchronous mode and must not be higher than
90MHz in any case. The MCLK interface will run
100MHz operation is possible but board layout is
so critical that 90MHz maximum operation is
recommended.
6.5.2.4. Reset output
6.5.2. BOOT SEQUENCE
If SYSRSTI# and all clocks are correct, then the
SYSRSTO# output signal should behave as
described in Figure 4-3.
6.5.2.1. Reset input
The checking of the reset sequence is the next
step. The waveform of SYSRSTI# must complies
with the timings described in Figure 4-3. This
signal must not have glitches and must stay low
until the 14.31818MHz output (OSC14M) is at the
right frequency and the strap options are
stabilized to a valid configuration.
6.5.3. ISA MODE
In case this clock is not present, check the 14MHz
oscillator stage (see Figure 6-3).
6.5.3.1. First code fetches
6.5.2.2. Strap options
When booting on the ISA bus, the two key signals
to check at the very beginning are RMRTCCS#
and FRAME#.
The STPC has been designed in a way to allow
configurations for test purpose that differs from the
functional configuration. In many cases, the
troubleshootings at this stage of the debug are the
resulting of bad strap options. This is why it is
mandatory to check they are properly setup and
sampled during the boot sequence.
Prior to check the ISA bus control signals,
PCI_CLKI, ISA_CLK, ISA_CLK2X, and DEV_CLK
must be running properly. If it is not the case, it is
probably because one of the previous steps has
not been completed.
The first one is a Chip Select for the boot flash
and is multiplexed with the IDE interface. It should
toggle together with ISAOE# and MEMRD# to
fetch the first 16 bytes of code. This corresponds
to the loading of the first line of the CPU cache.
6.5.2.3. Clocks
In case RMRTCCS# does not toggle, it is then
necessary to check the PCI FRAME# signal.
Indeed the ISA controller is part of the South
Bridge and all ISA bus cycles are visible on the
PCI bus.
Once OSC14M is checked and correct, the next
signals to measure are the Host clock (HCLK),
PCI clocks (PCI_CLKO, PCI_CLKI) and Memory
clock (MCLKO, MCLKI).
If there is no activity on the PCI bus, then one of
the previous steps has not been checked properly.
If there is activity then there must be something
conflicting on the ISA bus or on the PCI bus.
The list of all the strap options is summarized at
the beginning of Section 3.
HCLK must run at the speed defined by the
corresponding strap options (see Table 3-1). In x2

the content of these first data. Usually, it
corresponds to a JUMP instruction and the code
fetching continues, generating read cycles on the
ISA bus.
Most of the BIOS and boot loaders are reading the
content of the flash, decompressing it in SDRAM,
and then continue the execution by jumping to the
entry point in RAM. This boot process ends with a
JUMP to the entry point of the OS launcher.
These various steps of the booting sequence are
codified by the so-called POST codes (Power-On
Self-Test). A 8-bit code is written to the port 80H at
the beginning of each stage of the booting process
(I/O write to address 0080H) and can be displayed
on two 7-segment display, enabling a fast visual
check of the booting completion level.
Usually, the last POST code is 0x00 and
corresponds to the jump into the OS launcher.
When the execution fails or hangs, the lastest
written code stays visible on that display,
indicating either the piece of code to analyse,
either the area of the hardware not working
properly.
6.5.4. LOCAL BUS MODE
As the Local Bus controller is located into the Host
interface, there is no access to the cycles on the
PCI, reducing the amount of signals to check.
6.5.4.1. First code fetches
When booting on the Local Bus, the key signal to
check at the very beginning is FCS0#. This signal
is a Chip Select for the boot flash and should

The Local Bus support 16-bit boot memory
devices only.
6.5.4.3. POST code
Like in ISA mode, POST codes can be
implemented on the Local Bus. The difference is
that an IOCS# must be programmed at I/O
address 80H prior to writing these code, the POST
display being connected to this IOCS# and to the
lower 8 bits of the bus.
6.5.5. SUMMARY
Here is a check-list for the STPC board debug
from power-on to CPU execution.
For each step, in case of failure, verify first the
corresponding balls of the STPC:
- check if the voltage or activity is correct
- search for potential shortcuts.
For troubleshooting in steps 5 to 10, verify the
related strap options:
- value & connection. Refer to Section 3.
- see Figure 4-3 for timing constraints
Steps 8a and 9a are for debug in ISA mode while
steps 8b and 9b are for Local Bus mode.
6.5.6. PCMCIA MODE
As the STPC uses the RMRTCCS# signal for
booting in that mode, the methodology is the same
as for the ISA bus. The PCMCIA cards being 3.3V
or 5V, the boot flash device must be 5V tolerant
when directly connected on the address and data
busses. An other solution is to isolate the flash
from the PCMCIA lines using 5V tolerant LVTTL
buffers.
How?
Troubleshooting
Verify that voltage is within specs:
- this must include HF & LF noise
- avoid full range sweep
Refer to Table 4-1 for values
Measure voltage near STPC balls:
- use very low GND connection.
Add some decoupling capacitor:
- the smallest, the nearest to STPC balls.
Verify OSC14M speed
The 2 capacitors used with the quartz must
match with the capacitance of the crystal.
Try other values.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Check:
Verify reset generation circuit:
- device reference
- components value
HCLK
Measure HCLK is at selected frequency
25MHz < HCLK < 66MHz
HCLK wire must be as short as possible
PCI clocks
Measure PCICLKO:
- maximum is 33MHz by standard
- check it is at selected frequency
- it is generated from HCLK by a division
(1/2, 1/3 or 1/4)
Check PCICLKI equals PCICLKO
Verify PCICLKO loops to PCICLKI.
Verify maximum skew between any PCI clock
branch is below 2ns.
In Synchronous mode, check MCLKI.
Measure MCLKO:
- use a low-capacitance probe
- maximum is 90MHz
- check it is at selected frequency
- In SYNC mode MCLK=HCLK
- in ASYNC mode, default is 66MHz
Check MCLKI equals MCLKO
Verify load on MCLKI.
Verify MCLK programming (BIOS setting).
Measure SYSRSTO# of STPC
See Figure 4-3 for waveforms.
Verify SYSRSTI# duration.
Verify SYSRSTI# has no glitch
Verify clocks are running.
Check PCI signals are toggling:
- FRAME#, IRDY#, TRDY#, DEVSEL#
- these signals are active low.
Check, with a logic analyzer, that first
PCI cycles are the expected ones:
memory read starting at address with
lower bits to 0xFFF0
Verify PCI slots
If the STPC don’t boot
- verify data read from boot memory is OK
- ensure Flash is correctly programmed
- ensure CMOS is cleared.
Check RMRTCCS# & MEMRD#
Check directly on boot memory pin
Verify MEMCS16#:
- must not be asserted for 8-bit memory
Verify IOCHRDY is not be asserted
Verify ISAOE# pin:
- it controls IDE / ISA bus demultiplexing
Check FCS0# & PRD#
Check directly on boot memory pin
Verify HCLK speed and CPU clock mode.
Check, with a logic analyzer, that first
Local Bus cycles are the expected one:
memory read starting at the top of boot
memory less 16 bytes
If the STPC don’t boot
- verify data read from boot memory is OK
- ensure Flash is correctly programmed
- ensure CMOS is cleared.

The CPU fills its first cache line by fetching 16 bytes from boot memory.
Then, first instructions are executed from the CPU.

Any boot memory access done after the first 16 bytes are due to the instructions executed by the CPU
=> Minimum hardware is correctly set, CPU executes code.
