7.3.2 Level one fetch
Bits [31:14] of the Translation Table Base Register are concatenated with bits [31:20] of the
MVA to produce a 30-bit address as shown in Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-3 Accessing translation table level one descriptors
This address selects a 4-byte translation table entry. This is a level one descriptor for either a
section or a page table.
7.3.3 Level one descriptor
The level one descriptor returned is either a section descriptor, a coarse page table descriptor,
or a fine page table descriptor, or is invalid. Figure 7-4 shows the format of a level one
descriptor.
Figure 7-4 Level one descriptor
A section descriptor provides the base address of a 1MB block of memory.
The page table descriptors provide the base address of a page table that contains level two
descriptors. There are two sizes of page table:
• coarse page tables have 256 entries, splitting the 1MB that the table describes into
4KB blocks
• fine page tables have 1024 entries, splitting the 1MB that the table describes into
1KB blocks.
