Signal Description

2.3PCI Bus Interface (Two Instances)

Each interface is marked by either the letter “A” or “B” to signify the interface. For example,

A_AD refers to the AD bus on PCI bus A, and B_AD refers to the AD bus on PCI bus B. For pin names described in the following sections, an “X” in the name indicates either A or B, for the PCI bus A and PCI bus B sides, respectively. For example, “X_PAR” indicates A_PAR on the PCI bus A and B_PAR on the PCI bus B.

Description

 

 

 

 

 

PCI Address/Data: These signals are a multiplexed address and data bus. During the address

A_AD[31:0]

I/O

phase or phases of a transaction, the initiator drives a physical address on X_AD[31:0]. During the

B_AD[31:0]

data phases of a transaction, the initiator drives write data, or the target drives read data.

 

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

 

Bus Command and Byte Enables: These signals are a multiplexed command field and byte enable

 

 

field. During the address phase or phases of a transaction, the initiator drives the transaction type on

A_C/BE#[3:0]

I/O

C/BE#[3:0]. When there are two address phases, the first address phase carries the dual address

B_C/BE#[3:0]

command and the second address phase carries the transaction type. For both read and write

 

 

 

transactions, the initiator drives byte enables on C/BE#[3:0] during the data phases.

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

 

Parity: Even parity is calculated on 36 bits—AD[31:0] plus C/BE[3:0]#. It is calculated on all 36 bits

 

 

regardless of the valid byte enables. It is generated for address and data phases. It is driven

 

 

identically to the AD[31:0] lines, except it is delayed by exactly one PCI clock.

 

 

It is an output in the following cases:

A_PAR

 

• During the address phase for all transactions initiated by the Intel® 41210 Serial to Parallel PCI

I/O

Bridge

B_PAR

• During all data phases when the 41210 is the initiator of a PCI write transaction

 

 

 

 

 

• When the 41210 is the target of a read transaction

 

 

The 41210 checks parity when it is the initiator of PCI read transactions and when it is the target of

 

 

PCI write transactions.

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

 

Device Select: The bridge asserts DEVSEL# to claim a PCI transaction. As a target, the 41210

 

 

asserts DEVSEL# when a PCI master peripheral attempts to access an address destined for PCI

A_DEVSEL#

I/O

Express*. As an initiator, DEVSEL# indicates the response to a transaction initiated by the 41210 on

B_DEVSEL#

the PCI bus. DEVSEL# is tristated from the leading edge of PCIRST#. DEVSEL# remains tristated by

 

 

 

the 41210 until driven as a target.

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

 

Frame: FRAME# is driven by the initiator to indicate the beginning and duration of an access. While

A_FRAME#

I/O

FRAME# is asserted, data transfers continue. When FRAME# is deasserted the transaction is in the

B_FRAME#

final data phase.

 

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

A_IRDY#

 

Initiator Ready: IRDY# indicates the ability of the initiator to complete the current data phase of the

I/O

transaction. A data phase is completed when both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled asserted.

B_IRDY#

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Target Ready: TRDY# indicates the ability of the target to complete the current data phase of the

A_TRDY#

 

transaction. A data phase is completed when both TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted. TRDY#

I/O

is tristated from the leading edge of RST#. TRDY# remains tristated by the 41210 until driven as a

B_TRDY#

 

target.

 

 

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

A_STOP#

I/O

Stop: This bit indicates that the target is requesting an initiator to stop the current transaction.

B_STOP#

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.
