Processor

The MVME7100 is designed to support the MC864xD (dual e600 core) processor. The
processor is configured to operate at 1.067 GHz or 1.33 GHz core frequency with a
corresponding DDR400 Mb or DDR533 DDR2 memory bus.

The MVME7100 supports the power-on reset (POR) pin sampling method for processor reset
configuration. The states of the various configuration pins on the processor are sampled when
reset is de-asserted to determine the desired operating modes. Combinations of pull-up and
pull-down resistors are used to set the options. Some options are fixed and some are selectable
at build time by installing the proper pull-up/pull-down resistor. Refer to the MC864xD
reference manual, listed in

C controller 0 interface:

8 KB serial EEPROM for VPD

Two 64 KB serial EEPROMs for user configuration data storage

Two 256 byte serial EEPROMs for SPD

Maxim DS1375 Real Time Clock

Maxim MAX6649 temperature sensor

8 KB serial EEPROM on RTM VPD

The RTC implemented on the MVME7100 provides an alarm interrupt routed to the MC864xD
PIC through the control PLD. A DS32KHz temperature controlled crystal oscillator provides the
RTC clock reference. A battery backup circuit for the RTC is provided on-board.

The Maxim digital temperature sensor measures of temperature of the board and also
connects to the temperature diode on the MC864xD. The temperature sensor also provides an
alarm interrupt routed to the MC864xD PIC through the control PLD.
