Description:

VL82C521 Lynx/M System Controller

Packaged in a space-efficient low-profile 352 BGA, the Lynx/M System Controller is the heart of the solution. BGA packaging allows integrating functions usually partitioned into multiple packages. the integrated functions include a 66Mhz CPU interface, 3.3V mobile PCI 2.1 compliant bus controller, 64-bit SDRAM, EDO, and FPM DRAM controller with nine-deep fast access smart write-buffers, on-board L2 256KB write-back cache controller, and VLSI's WATTSmart power management control. The DRAM interface provides drive for up to 24 memory devices thereby eliminating the need for external drivers. Also, selecting SDRAM provides the opportunity to implement a high performance system without an L2 cache.
