7.2.4.3 Transfer Burst (TBST)

The transfer burst (TBST) signal is an input/output signal on the 750GX.

Transfer Burst (TBST)—Output

State	Asserted		Indicates that a burst transfer is in progress.
	Negated		Indicates that a burst transfer is not in progress.

			For external control instructions (eciwx and ecowx),	TBST	is used to output
			bit 28 of the EAR, which is used to form the resource ID (TBSTTSIZ0–
			TSIZ2).
Timing	Assertion/		The same as A[0–31].
	Negation/
	High
	Impedance

Transfer Burst	(TBST)	—Input
State	Asserted/		Used when snooping for single-beat reads (read with no intent to cache).
	Negated
Timing	Assertion/		The same as A[0–31].
	Negation
