PC618 memory cycles the higher order VMEbus address lines are routed directly to the IP address lines This simplifies matters by eliminating complicated address re mapping and decoding wait states Additionally the memory sizing scheme on the VIPC618 uses the memory base address shunt values When using memory these two factors require the memory base address of the carrier be on a boundary equal to the sum of all memory space available on the carrier For A32 applications the VIPC618 must be on a 32 megabyte boundary i e 0x00000000 0x02000000 0x04000000 etc For A24 applications the aggregate memory capacity of the VIPC618 must be calculated For an A24 space example consider the following A VIPC618 with two memory IPs the largest of which being one megabyte would require configuring the carrier for one megabyte per slot The sum of memory capacity on the carrier would then be four megabytes or one megabyte per slot The memory base address and IP slot A base must be on a four megabyte boundary in the A24 space i e 0x000000 0x400000 0x800000 etc The slot B base would be at carrier base one megabyte i e 0x 100000 0x500000 0x900000 etc A24 Memory Configuration Example Consider the following example where two memory IPs are installed in an A24 application A 256k IP JEDEC and a 1 megabyte IP NVRAM are to be installed on a VIPC618 in IP slots A and B respectively First install a shunt in the E1 A24 location to en
