5. Secondary Cache Interface

5.6 Read Sequences


There are five basic read sequences:

  • a 4-word read
  • an 8-word read
  • a 16-word read
  • a 32-word read
  • a tag read

The SCClk referred in the secondary cache read and write timing diagrams is an internal SCClk. The relationship between this internal SCClk and the external SCClk[5:0]/SCClk[5:0]* can be programmed during boot time by setting the SCClkTap mode bits (see the section titled "Mode Bits" in Chapter 8 for detail on mode bits).
