Universe (VMEbus to PCI) Chip
Introduction
This chapter describes the VMEbus interface on MVME2300 series
boards, the CA91C042 Universe ASIC. The Universe chip interfaces the
32/64-bit PCI local bus to the VMEbus. It provides a PCI-bus-to-VMEbus
interface, a VMEbus-to-PCI-bus interface, and the DMA controller
functions of the local VMEbus.

The Universe is ideally suited for CPU boards acting as both master and
slave in the VMEbus system, and is particularly fitted for PCI local
systems. The Universe is manufactured in a CMOS process.
