Pin Name Type Description
C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
t/s BUS COMMAND AND BYTE ENABLES: The command and byte enable signals are
multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address phase of a transaction,
C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
define the bus command for bus command definitions. During the data
phase, C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
are used as Byte Enables. The Byte Enables determine which
byte lanes carry meaningful data. C/BE[0
]
Ý
applies to byte 0 and C/BE[3
]
Ý
to byte
3. C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
are not used for address decoding.
The PCEB drives C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
as an initiator of a PCI Bus cycle and monitors
C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
as a target.
When PCIRST
Ý
is asserted, the PCEB drives C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
to keep them from
floating. In addition, the PCEB acts as the central resource responsible for driving the
C/BE[3:0
]
Ý
signals when no device owns the PCI Bus and the bus is idle
FRAME
Ý
s/t/s FRAME: FRAMEÝis driven by the current initiator to indicate the beginning and
duration of an access. FRAMEÝis asserted to indicate that a bus transaction is
beginning. During a transaction, data transfers continue while FRAME
Ý
is asserted.
When FRAME
Ý
is negated, the transaction is in the final data phase. FRAMEÝis an
input when the PCEB is the target. FRAME
Ý
is an output when the PCEB is the
initiator. During reset, this signal is tri-stated.
TRDY
Ý
s/t/s TARGET READY: TRDYÝ, as an output, indicates the target’s ability to complete
the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY
Ý
is used in conjunction with
IRDY
Ý
. A data phase is completed on any clock that both TRDYÝand IRDYÝare
sampled asserted. When PCEB is the target during a read cycle, TRDYÝindicates
that the PCEB has valid data present on AD[31:0]. During a write, it indicates that the
PCEB, as a target, is prepared to latch data. TRDY
Ý
is an input to the PCEB when
the PCEB is the initiator. During reset, this signal is tri-stated.
IRDY
Ý
s/t/s INITIATOR READY: IRDYÝ, as an output, indicates the initiator’s ability to complete
the current data phase of the transaction. IRDY
Ý
is used in conjunction with
TRDY
Ý
. A data phase is completed on any clock that both IRDYÝand TRDYÝare
sampled asserted. When PCEB is the initiator of a write cycle, IRDYÝindicates that
the PCEB has valid data present on AD[31:0]. During a read, it indicates the PCEB is
prepared to latch data. IRDY
Ý
is an input to the PCEB when the PCEB is the target.
During reset, this signal is tri-stated.
STOP
Ý
s/t/s STOP: As a target, the PCEB asserts STOPÝto request that the master stop the
current transaction. When the PCEB is an initiator, STOP
Ý
is an input. As an initiator,
the PCEB stops the current transaction when STOP
Ý
is asserted. Different
semantics of the STOPÝsignal are defined in the context of other handshake
signals (TRDY
Ý
and DEVSELÝ). During reset, this signal is tri-stated.
PLOCK
Ý
s/t/s PCI LOCK: PLOCKÝindicates an atomic operation that may require multiple
transactions to complete. PLOCK
Ý
is an input when PCEB is the target and output
when PCEB is the initiator. When PLOCK
Ý
is sampled negated during the address
phase of a transaction, a PCI agent acting as a target will consider itself a locked
resource until it samples PLOCK
Ý
and FRAMEÝnegated. When other masters
attempt accesses to the PCEB (practically to the EISA subsystem) while the PCEB is
locked, the PCEB responds with a retry termination. During reset, this signal is tristated.
