address tenures occur until the current snoop push from the 750GX is completed. Snoop push delays can
also be avoided by operating the L2 cache in write-through mode so no snoop pushes are required by the L2
cache.
8.4 Data-Bus Tenure
This section describes the data-bus arbitration, transfer, and termination phases defined by the 750GX
memory-access protocol. The phases of the data tenure are identical to those of the address tenure, under-
scoring the symmetry in the control of the two buses.
8.4.1 Data-Bus Arbitration
Data-bus arbitration uses the data arbitration signal group—DBG, DBWO, and DBB. Additionally, the combi-
nation of TS and TT[0–4] provides information about the data-bus request to external logic.
The TS signal is an implied data-bus request from the 750GX. The arbiter must qualify TS with the transfer
type (TT) encodings to determine if the current address transfer is an address-only operation, which does not
require a data-bus transfer (see Figure 8-9). If the data bus is needed, the arbiter grants data-bus mastership
by asserting the DBG input to the 750GX. As with the address-bus arbitration phase, the 750GX must qualify
the DBG input with a number of input signals before assuming bus mastership, as shown in Figure 8-10.
