3.5.2 Locked Cycle Timing
231732i3-18
LOCK#
is
activated on the CLK2 edge that begins the first locked bus
cycle.
LOCK#
is
deactivated when READY #
is
sampled
low
at the end of the last bus cycle to be locked.
LOCK#
is
activated and deactivated on these CLK2 edges whether or not address pipe-
lining
is
used.
If
address pipelining
is
used,
LOCK#
will remain active until after the
address bus and bus
cycle
status signals have been asserted for the pipe lined. cycle.
Consequently, the
LOCK# signal can extend into the next memory access cycle that
does not need to be locked. (See Figure 3-19.) The result
is that the use of the bus
by
another bus master
is
delayed
by
one bus
cycle.
