Design Considerations
Input hold times can be disregarded by the designer
whenever the input is removed because a subse-
quent output from the processor is deasserted (e.g.,
DEN becomes deasserted).
In other words, whenever the processor generates
an output that indicates a transition into a subse-
quent state, the processor must have sampled any
inputs for the previous state.
Similarly, whenever the processor generates an
output that indicates a transition into a subsequent
state, any outputs that are specified to be three
stated in this new state are guaranteed to be three
stated.

Packaging
The 80960MC is available in one package type: a
132-lead ceramic pin-grid array (PGA). Pins are
arranged 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) center-to-center, in a
14 by 14 matrix, three rows around (see
Figure 20
).
Dimensions for the PGA package type is given in the
Intel
Packaging handbook (Order #240800).
