AMD-K5 Processor Technical Reference Manual
If an inquire cycle occurs while the processor is driving a
Branch-Trace Message special bus cycle, the branch address
information driven by the processor on A31–A3 can be over-
written by the inquiring bus master. In such cases, system logic
should latch A31–A3 when ADS is asserted (that is, before
asserting AHOLD, BOFF or HOLD).
At the falling edge of RESET, the states of BRDYC and BUS-
CHK control the drive strength on A21–A3 (not including A31–
A22). The drive strength is weak for all states of BRDYC and
BUSCHK except BRDYC and BUSCHK both Low (0), in which
case the drive strength is strong. The A31–A22 signals use the
weak drive strength at all times. See the data sheet for details.
Unlike the Pentium processor, pipelined address-data transac-
tions are not supported by the AMD-K5 processor. Thus, the
NA input has no effect on the processor’s address bus. NA only
affects the sampling time for the KEN and WB/WT inputs.
