Revision 1.02 – January 11, 2005
PPC405CR – PowerPC 405CR Embedded Processor
SDRAM Memory Controller
Data Sheet
The PPC405CR Memory Controller core provides a low latency access path to SDRAM memory. A variety of sys-
tem memory configurations are supported. The memory controller supports up to four logical banks. Up to 256MB
per bank are supported, up to a maximum of 1GB. Memory timings, address and bank sizes, and memory
addressing modes are programmable.
Features include:
•

11x8 to 13x11 addressing for SDRAM (2- and 4-bank)
32-bit memory interface support
Programmable address compare for each bank of memory
Industry standard 168-pin DIMMS are supported (some configurations)
4MB to 256MB per bank
Programmable address mapping and timing
Auto refresh
Page mode accesses with up to 4 open pages
Power Management (self-refresh)
Error Checking and Correction (ECC) support
- Standard SEC/DED coverage

Peripheral device pacing with external “Ready”
External master interface
- Write posting from external master
- Read prefetching on PLB for external master reads
- Bursting capable from external master
- Allows external master access to all non-EBC PLB slaves
- External master can control EBC slaves for own access and control
DMA Controller
•
Supports the following transfers:
- Memory-to-memory transfers
- Buffered peripheral to memory transfers
