Introduction to Designing a System with the DECchip 21064 Microprocessor

This application note serves as a guide for design engineers on integrating the DECchip 21064 microprocessor into a system. It covers essential design concepts, including the Bcache subsystem, power supply and input level requirements, clock configurations, and system booting. The document provides detailed timing diagrams and examples for Bcache read and write cycles, external interface management, and DMA access, illustrating how the chip interacts with external memory and system logic. It also describes how to handle locked memory accesses and non-cacheable memory writes.
