Functional Description
The VMEbus interface controller (VIC068A) is a single chip
designed to minimize the cost and board area requirements
and to maximize performance of the VMEbus interface of a
VMEbus master/slave module. This can be implemented on
VIC068A either an 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit VMEbus system. The
VIC068A performs all VMEbus system controller functions
plus many others, which simplify the development of
VIC068Aa VMEbus interface. The VIC068A utilizes patented
on-chip output buffers. These CMOS high-drive buffers pro-
vide direct connection to the address and data lines. In addi-
tion to these signals, the VIC068A connects directly to the ar-
bitration, interrupt, address modifier, utility and strobe lines.
Signals are provided which control data direction and latch
functions needed for a 32-bit implementation.
The VIC068A was developed through the efforts of a consor-
tium of board vendors, under the auspices of the VMEbus In-
ternational Trade Association (VITA). The VIC068A thus in-
sures compatibility between boards designed by different
manufacturers.
