A NEW GENERATION OF
TAG SRAMS—THE IDT71215 AND

By Kelly Maas
CACHE AND TAG BASICS
For those new to caches, a brief review of cache basics may
be worthwhile. A cache is a memory that provides a CPU with
high speed access to a subset of the data from main memory.
Our discussions are focused on the secondary cache, which
is also known as the L2 cache, but it is not much different from
the faster primary (L1) cache residing inside most CPUs.
The cache consists of a controller, a data memory and a tag
memory. The purpose of the data memory is to store the
active data from main memory, and is composed of either
synchronous burst or asynchronous SRAMs. The tag memory
stores indexes (part of the CPU address field) that indicate
which data is stored in the cache. Additionally, most caches
also require at least one bit of memory for each cache entry,
to indicate the valid or dirty status of that entry. Figure 1 shows
how the CPU address field relates to the cache and the tag
memory. This example includes valid and dirty status bits, and
represents a 512KB cache, 2GB cacheable address space,
32-byte line size, and 8-byte word size.
INTRODUCTION
The 71215 and 71216 represent a new generation of
integrated Tag SRAMs. Just as earlier Tag SRAMs such as
the 71B74 were better suited for tag applications than conven-
tional SRAMs, the 71215/16 go a step further by integrating
new features to significantly ease the design of high perfor-
mance cache subsystems for today’s high speed processors.
These Tag RAMs are designed for easy interfacing to Intel and
PowerPC processors, but are very flexible and can easily be
used in other applications as well.
This application note first provides some background infor-
mation on caches, then describes in detail the architecture
and operation of the 71215 and 71216. This is followed by
three application examples, then a brief discussion of cache
coherency protocol implementation using these Tag RAMs.
Since the 71215 and 71216 are very similar, the descriptions
and explanations in this application note apply to both unless
otherwise noted.
