VIC64-UMB datasheet by Cypress Semiconductor

VIC64-UMB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the VIC64-UMB?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the VIC64-UMB is 66 MHz, but it can be overclocked to 80 MHz with careful design and layout considerations.
• How do I implement clock domain crossing (CDC) with the VIC64-UMB?
  Cypress provides a CDC module in the VIC64-UMB that can be used to synchronize data transfers between different clock domains. The CDC module uses a FIFO-based architecture to ensure data integrity during clock domain crossings.
• Can I use the VIC64-UMB as a standalone memory controller?
  Yes, the VIC64-UMB can be used as a standalone memory controller, but it is typically used as part of a larger system-on-chip (SoC) design. In standalone mode, the VIC64-UMB can control up to 64 MB of memory.
• What is the latency of the VIC64-UMB?
  The latency of the VIC64-UMB depends on the specific configuration and operating frequency. Typically, the latency is around 2-3 clock cycles for read operations and 1-2 clock cycles for write operations.
• How do I handle errors and exceptions with the VIC64-UMB?
  The VIC64-UMB provides a built-in error detection and correction mechanism that can detect and correct single-bit errors. For multi-bit errors, the VIC64-UMB can generate an interrupt to notify the system of an error condition.
