SYSTEM BUS DESIGN
resistors or by driving these lines low when HLDA is asserted. A17–A2 are also used for system
controller/ISA bridge link interface transfers. These signals are 3-stated after a hard reset.
The Byte Enable signals BE3#–BE0# indicate active bytes during read and write cycles. These
signals are 3-stated after a hard reset.
Host Data HD3–HD0 are connected to the host CPU data bus. These signals are inputs after a
hard reset.
The Host Data Parity signals, HPD3–HPD0, are bi-directional parity signals for the host data bus.
These signals provide parity to the system controller during main memory read cycles. The sys-
tem controller sends parity information to main memory during non-CPU main memory write cy-
cles. These signals are 3-stated after a hard reset.
Bus Cycle Definition, M/IO#, D/C# and W/R#, are signals that define the Host bus cycle. M/IO#
is a bi-directional signal that distinguishes between memory and I/O cycles. D/C# is a bi-direc-
tional signal that differentiates between data and control cycles. W/R# is a bi-directional signal
that distinguishes between read and write cycles. Note that special cycles are identified by BE3#–
BE0# and A4–A2. These signals are 3-stated after a hard reset.
Page Cache Disable/Cache, PCD/CACHE#, is a multiplexed signal pin with two functions, de-
pending on the type of CPU used. The PCD cache input signal, when asserted, indicates the cur-
rent cycle cannot be cached in the L2 cache during line fill operation. When PCD is asserted, the
line is not cached in L1 or L2. The CACHE# signal is active along with the first ADS# until the
first RDY# or BRDY#. For line fills, the functionality of the CACHE# signal is identical to that
of the PCD signal. During write-back cycles, CACHE# is always asserted at the beginning of the
line write-back. The beginning of a write-back cycle is uniquely identified by active ADS#, W/R#
and CACHE#. Beginning of the snoop write-back is identified by the ADS#, W/R#, CACHE#
and HITM# being active.
The Address Status, ADS#, input indicates that the bus cycle definition signals (M/IO#, D/C#,
W/R#), BE3#–BE0#, and A31–A30, A26–A2 are available on their corresponding pins.
Ready, RDY#, indicates that the current non-burst bus cycle is complete. This signal is deasserted
after a hard reset.
Burst Ready, BRDY#, performs the same function during a burst cycle that RDY# performs dur-
ing a non-burst cycle. This signal is deasserted after hard reset.
Burst Last, BLAST#, indicates the end of a burst access for CPU-initiated cycles.
The system controller asserts HOLD to the CPU to request ownership of the Host bus. This signal
is deasserted after a hard reset.
Hold Acknowledge, HLDA, must be asserted by the CPU for the system controller to grant a new
master on the PCI or ISA buses. When HLDA is deasserted, the CPU is the Host bus master and
the system controller is the PCI bus master. When HLDA is deasserted, the system controller is
also the master on the system controller/ISA bridge link interface.
Address Hold, AHOLD, output signal forces the CPU to float its address bus in the next clock.
The system controller asserts this signal in preparation to perform a system controller/ISA bridge
interface transfer, when SRESET needs to be asserted, or upon Deturbo logic requests. This sig-
nal is deasserted after a hard reset.
