of up to 16MB of memory. SA[19::0] are gated on the system bus when BALE
is high and are latched on the falling edge of BALE. These signals are
generated by the microprocessor or DMA Controller. They also may be driven
by other microprocessors or DMA controllers that reside on the I/O channel.
SBHE# (I/O)
System Bus High Enable (SBHE#) indicates a transfer of data on the upper
byte of the data bus, D[15::8]. 16-bit devices use SBHE# to condition data bus
buffers tied to D[15::8].
SMRDC# (O), MRDC# (I/O)
These signals instruct the memory devices to drive data onto the data bus.
SMRDC# is active only when the memory decode is within the low 1MB of
memory space. MRDC# is active on all memory read cycles. MRDC# may
be driven by any microprocessor or DMA controller in the system. SMRDC is
derived from MRDC# and the decode of the low 1MB of memory. When a
microprocessor on the I/O channel wishes to drive MRDC#, it must have the
address lines valid on the bus for one system clock period before driving
MRDC# active. Both signals are active low.
SMWTC# (O), MWTC# (I/O)
These signals instruct the memory devices to store the data present on the
data bus. SMWTC# is active only when the memory decode is within the low
1MB of the memory space. MWTC# is active on all memory write cycles.
MWTC# may be driven by any microprocessor or DMA controller in the system.
SMWTC# is derived from MWTC# and the decode of the low 1MB of memory.
When a microprocessor on the I/O channel wishes to drive MWTC#, it must
have the address lines valid on the bus for one system clock period before
driving MWTC# active. Both signals are active low.
T-C (O)
Terminal Count (T-C) provides a pulse when the terminal count for any DMA
channel is reached.
