System Bus singnals
Name Type Description
ADS#
I/O
AGTL+
Address Strobe: The system bus owner asserts ADS# to indicate the
first of two cycles of a request phase.
BNR#
I/O
AGTL+
Block Next Request: BNR# is used to block the current request bus
owner from issuing a new request. This signal dynamically controls
the system bus pipeline depth.
BPRI#
O
AGTL+
Bus Priority Request: The MCH is the only Priority Agent on the
system bus. It asserts this signal to obtain the ownership of the
address bus. This signal has priority over symmetric bus requests and
will cause the current symmetric owner to stop issuing new
transactions unless the HLOCK# signal was asserted.
BR0#
I/O
AGTL+
Bus Request 0#: The MCH pulls the processor bus BR0# signal low
during CPURST#. The signal is sampled by the processor on the
active - to-inactive transition of CPURST#. The minimum setup time
for this signal is 4 BCLKs. The minimum hold time is 2 BCLKs and
the maximum hold time is 20 BCLKs. BR0# should be three-stated
after the hold time requirement has been satisfied.
CPURST#
O
AGTL+
Processor Reset: The CPURST# pin is an output from the MCH. The
MCH asserts CPURST# while RSTIN# (PCIRST# from the ICH2) is
asserted and for approximately 1 ms after RSTIN# is deasserted. The
CPURST# allows the processor to begin execution in a known state.
DBSY#
I/O
AGTL+
Data Bus Busy: DBSY# is used by the data bus owner to hold the
data bus for transfers requiring more than one cycle.
DEFER#
O
AGTL+
Defer Response: This signal, when asserted, indicates that the MCH
will terminate the transaction currently being snooped with either a
deferred response or with a retry response.
DBI[3:0]#
I/O
AGTL+
Dynamic Bus Inversion: DBI[3:0]# are driven along with the
HD[63:0]# signals. DBI[3:0]# Indicate if the associated data signals
are inverted. DBI[3:0]# are asserted such that the number of data bits
driven electrically low (low voltage) within the corresponding 16-bit
group never exceeds 8.
DBI[x]# Data Bits
DBI3# HD[63:48]#
DBI2# HD[47:32]#
DBI1# HD[31:16]#
DBI0# HD[15:0]#
DRDY#
I/O
AGTL+
Data Ready. Asserted for each cycle that data is transferred.
Name Type Description
HA[31:3]#
I/O
AGTL+
Host Address Bus: HA[31:3]# connect to the system address bus.
During processor cycles, HA[31:3]# are inputs. The MCH drives
HA[31:3]# during snoop cycles on behalf of the hub interface and
AGP/Secondary PCI initiators. HA[31:3]# are transferred at 2x rate.
Note that the address is inverted on the system bus.
HADSTB[1:0]#
I/O
AGTL+
Host Address Strobe: The source synchronous strobes used to
transfer HA[31:3]# and HREQ[4:0]# at the 2x transfer rate.
Strobe Address Bits
HADSTB0# HA[16:3]#, HREQ[4:0]#
HADSTB1# HA[31:17]#
HD[63:0]#
I/O
AGTL+
Host Data: These signals are connected to the system data bus.
HD[63:0]# are transferred at a 4x rate. Note that the data signals are
inverted on the system bus.
HDSTBP[3:0]#
HDSTBN[3:0]#
I/O
AGTL+
Differential Host Data Strobes: The differential source synchronous
strobes used to transfer HD[63:0]# and DBI[3:0]# at the 4x transfer
rate.
Strobe Data Bits
HDSTBP3#, HDSTBN3# HD[63:48]#, DBI3#
HDSTBP2#, HDSTBN2# HD[47:32]#, DBI2#
HDSTBP1#, HDSTBN1# HD[31:16]#, DBI1#
HDSTBP0#, HDSTBN0# HD[15:0]#, DBI0#
HIT#
I/O
AGTL+
Hit: This signal indicates that a caching agent holds an unmodified
version of the requested line. HIT# is also driven in conjunction with
HITM# by the target to extend the snoop window.
HITM#
I/O
AGTL+
Hit Modified: This signal indicates that a caching agent holds a
modified version of the requested line and that this agent assumes
responsibility for providing the line. HITM# is also driven in
conjunction with HIT# to extend the snoop window.
HLOCK#
I/O
AGTL+
Host Lock: All system bus cycles sampled with the assertion of
HLOCK# and ADS#, until the negation of HLOCK# must be atomic
(i.e., no hub interface or AGP snoopable access to system memory are
allowed when HLOCK# is asserted by the processor).
