Table 4.5 Arbitration Signals
Name Pin No. Type Strength Description
REQ/ 200, A4 O 16 mA PCI Request indicates to the system arbiter that this agent
desires use of the PCI bus. This is a point-to-point signal.
Every master has its own REQ/ signal.
GNT/ 199, B5 I N/A Grant indicates to the agent that access to the PCI bus has
been granted. This is a point-to-point signal. Every master
has its own GNT/ signal.
Table 4.6 Error Reporting Signals
Name Pin No. Type Description
PERR/ 19 S/T/S Parity Error may be pulsed active by an agent that detects a data
parity error. PERR/ can be used by any agent to signal data corruption.
However, on detection of a PERR/ pulse, the central resource may
generate a nonmaskable interrupt to the host CPU, which often implies
the system is unable to continue operation once error processing is
complete.
SERR/ 78 O System Error is an open drain output used to report address parity
errors.
