EMBEDDED Intel486™ PROCESSOR HARDWARE REFERENCE MANUAL

4.4.3.1

Snoop Collision with a Current Cache Line Operation

The system can also perform snooping concurrent with a cache access and may collide with a cur-
rent cache bus cycle. 

Table 4-12

 lists some scenarios and the results of a snoop operation collid-

ing with an on-going cache fill or replacement cycle.

4.4.3.2

Snoop under AHOLD

Snooping under AHOLD begins by asserting AHOLD to force the Write-Back Enhanced
IntelDX4 processor to float the address bus, as shown in 

Figure 4-38

. The ADS# for the write-

back cycle is guaranteed to occur no sooner than the second clock following the assertion of
HITM# (i.e., there is a dead clock between the assertion of HITM# and the first ADS# of the
snoop write-back cycle). 

Table 4-12. Various Scenarios of a Snoop Write-Back Cycle Colliding with an On-Going

Cache Fill or Replacement Cycle

AHOLD

Read all line fill data 
into cache line buffer.

Update cache only if 
snoop occurred with 
INV = 0

No write-back cycle 
because the line has 
not been modified 
yet.

Complete fill if the 
cycle is burst. Start 
snoop write-back. 

If the cycle is non-
burst, the snoop write-
back is reordered 
ahead of the line fill.

After the snoop write-
back cycle is 
completed, continue 
with line fill.

Complete replacement 
write-back if the cycle 
is burst. Processor 
does not initiate a 
snoop write-back, but 
asserts HITM# until 
the replacement write-
back is completed.

If the replacement 
cycle is non-burst, the 
snoop write-back is re-
ordered ahead of the 
replacement write-
back cycle. The 
processor does not 
continue with the 
replacement write-
back cycle.

Complete replacement 
write-back if it is a burst 
cycle. Initiate snoop 
write-back. 

If the replacement write-
back is a non-burst cycle, 
the snoop write-back 
cycle is re-ordered in 
front of the replacement 
cycle. After the snoop 
write-back, the 
replacement write-back 
is continued from the 
interrupt point.

BOFF#

Stop reading line fill 
data

Wait for BOFF# to be 
deasserted. 
Continue read from 
backed off point

Update cache only if 
snoop occurred with 
INV = ’0’.

Stop fill

Wait for BOFF# to be 
deasserted.

Do snoop write-back

Continue fill from 
interrupt point.

Stop replacement 
write-back

Wait for BOFF# to be 
deasserted.

Initiate snoop write-
back

Processor does not 
continue replacement 
write-back.

Stop replacement write-
back

Wait for BOFF# to be de-
asserted

Initiate snoop write-back

Continue replacement 
write-back from point of 
interrupt.

HOLD

HOLD is not acknowledged until the current bus cycle (i.e., the line operation) is completed, 
except for a non-cacheable, non-burst code prefetch cycle. Consequently there can be no 
collision with the snoop cycles using HOLD, except as mentioned earlier. In this case the snoop 
write-back is re-ordered ahead of an on-going non-burst, non-cached code prefetch cycle. After 
the write-back cycle is completed, the code prefetch cycle continues from the point of interrupt.
