View Ref-File10.6.1 EEPROM DATA CT60The DIMM standard allows the loading of the manufacturer informations
from a small 128 or 256 bytes EEPROM on the DIMM. Some of these
informations are needed to configure the SDRAM controller of the
CT60.
The following bytes are uses by the CT60 :
∙ Bold are used by the boot software to configure the SDRAM controller.
∙ Others are used only as user information in a SET UP menu.
Byte 2 Memory Type FPM, EDO, NIBBLE, SDRAM (=$04)
Byte 3 Number of Row Addresses 11,12,13,. : $B:11 / $C:12 / $D:13
Byte 4 Number of Column Addresses 8,9,10,... : $8:8 / $9:9 / $A:10
Byte 5 Number of DIMM Banks 1 or 2 $01:1 / $02:2
Byte 6-7 Module Data Width 64, 72 , 80, : $4000
Byte 8 Voltage Interface Level TTL, LVTTL (1), HSTL, SSTL3, SSTL2
of this assembly
Byte 9 SDRAM Cycle Time (tCYC)
Byte 10 SDRAM Access from Clock
(tAC)
Byte 11 SDRAMConfiguration Type None, Parity, ECC
Byte 12 Refresh Rate 15.625uS:$80, 7.81uS:$82
Byte 17 Number of Banks 2 or 4 ($04)
on SDRAM Device
Byte 27 Minimum ROW Precharge
Time (tRP)
Byte 28 Minimum ROW Active to
Active Delay (tRRD)
Byte 29 Minimum RAS to CAS Delay
(tRCD)
Byte 31 Module Bank Density 16 ($04), 32 ($08), 64 ($10),
128 ($20), 256 ($40), 512 ($80)
Byte 64-71 Module Manufacturers EX : $A4000000 = IBM
JEDEC ID Code
Byte 73-90 Module Part Number
Byte 93-94 Module Manufacturing Date
Byte 95-98 Module Serial Number
Some features are initialized by the logic chip into the DIMM module
when booting :
∙ BURST Length 1, 2, 4, 8 , Page. 4 is for 060, PPC, X86
processors
∙ CAS Latency 2, 3, 4,... 2 is possible with PC100 at 66 up to 80
MHz !
Remarks : ∙ Don't confuse SDRAM banks (2 or 4) with DIMM banks (1 or 2) !
∙ Bytes 128-255 are open for Customer Use and can be written - Not
used with CT60.
∙ DIMM Density = Module Bank Density * Number of DIMM Banks (1 or
2).
