7.2.11.4 Time Base Enable (TBEN)—Input

State

Asserted

Indicates that the time base and decrementer should continue clocking. This

 

 

signal is essentially a “count enable” control for the time base and decre-

 

 

menter counter.

 

Negated

Indicates that the time base and decrementer should stop clocking.

Timing

Assertion/

May occur on any cycle. The sampling of this signal is synchronous with

 

Negation

SYSCLK.

7.2.11.5 TLB Invalidate Synchronize (TLBISYNC)—Input

The TLB Invalidate Synchronize (TLBISYNC) signal is an input-only signal.

State

Asserted

Prevents execution of a tlbsync instruction from completing.

 

Negated

Enables execution of a tlbsync to complete.

Timing

Assertion/

Might occur on any cycle.

Start-Up

See Table 7-6, Summary of Mode Select Signals, on page 274 for a descrip-

 

 

tion of the start-up function.

7.2.12 Processor Mode Selection Signals

Table 7-6summarizes the processor mode select signals of the 750GX. The mode select signals establish the operating modes of the processor after reset (for example, 32-bit or 64-bit data mode or DRTRY mode). Mode select signals are sampled at the rising transition of HRESET.
