Figure 5-1. M&C Block Diagram
The heart of the M&C card is the Dallas
" 80C310 microcontroller operating at 11 MHz.
This Microcontroller contains 256 kbit/s of internal RAM. The external ROM is 29F040
(512 kbit/s).
ROM access times must be equal to or greater than 150 ns. The RAM can be 8 kbit/s or 32
kbit/s in size. This RAM chip is internally battery-backed and contains a real time clock
used by the M&C.
