6.2.5.3Sub-ISA Bus Data Steering

The Core Logic module performs all of the required data steering from SD[7:0] to SD[15:0] during normal 8-bit ISA cycles, as well as during DMA and ISA master cycles. It handles data transfers between the 32-bit PCI data bus and the ISA bus. 8/16-bit devices can reside on the ISA bus. Various PC-compatible I/O registers, DMA controller registers, interrupt controller registers, and counter/timer registers lie on the on-chip I/O data bus. Either the PCI bus master or the DMA controllers can become the bus owner.

When the PCI bus master is the bus owner, the Core Logic module data steering logic provides data conversion nec- essary for 8/16/32-bit transfers to and from 8/16-bit devices on either the Sub-ISA bus or the 8-bit registers on the on- chip I/O data bus. When PCI data bus drivers of the Core Logic module are in TRI-STATE, data transfers between the PCI bus master and PCI bus devices are handled directly via the PCI data bus.

When the DMA requestor is the bus owner, the Core Logic module allows 8/16-bit data transfer between the Sub-ISA bus and the PCI data bus.

6.2.5.4I/O Recovery Delays

In normal operation, the Core Logic module inserts a delay between back-to-back ISA I/O cycles that originate on the PCI bus. The default delay is four ISACLK cycles. Thus, the second of consecutive I/O cycles is held in the ISA bus controller until this delay count has expired. The delay is measured between the rising edge of IOR#/IOW# and the falling edge of BALE. This delay can be adjusted to a greater delay through the ISA I/O Recovery Control register (F0 Index 51h).

Note: This delay is not inserted for a 16-bit Sub-ISA I/O access that is split into two 8-bit I/O accesses.
