Signal Description

 

 

 

DRDY#

I/O

Data Ready: Asserted for each cycle that data is transferred.

 

AGTL+

 

 

 

 

 

 

HA[31:3]#

I/O

Host Address Bus: HA[31:3]# connects to the CPU address bus. During

 

AGTL+

processor cycles the HA[31:3]# are inputs. The GMCH drives HA[31:3]#

 

 

during snoop cycles on behalf of Hub interface. HA[31:3]# are

 

 

transferred at 2x rate. Note that the address is inverted on the CPU bus.

 

 

 

HADSTB[1:0]#

I/O

Host Address Strobe: HA[31:3]# connects to the CPU address bus.

 

AGTL+

During CPU cycles, the source synchronous strobes are used to transfer

 

 

HA[31:3]# and HREQ[4:0]# at the 2x transfer rate.

 

 

Strobe

Address Bits

 

 

HADSTB[0]#

HA[16:3]#, HREQ[4:0]#

 

 

HADSTB[1]#

HA[31:17]#

 

 

 

HD[63:0]#

I/O

Host Data: These signals are connected to the CPU data bus.

 

AGTL+

HD[63:0]# are transferred at 4x rate. Note that the data signals are

 

 

inverted on the CPU bus.

 

 

 

 

HDSTBP[3:0]#

I/O

Differential Host Data Strobes: The differential source synchronous

HDSTBN[3:0]#

AGTL+

strobes are used to transfer HD[63:0]# and DINV[3:0]# at the 4x

 

transfer rate.

HDSTBP[3]#, HDSTBN[3]#

HD[63:48]#, DINV[3]#

 

 

HDSTBP[2]#, HDSTBN[2]#

HD[47:32]#, DINV[2]#

 

 

HDSTBP[1]#, HDSTBN[1]#

HD[31:16]#, DINV[1]#

 

 

HDSTBP[0]#, HDSTBN[0]#

HD[15:0]#, DINV[0]#

 

 

 

HIT#

I/O

Hit: Indicates that a caching agent holds an unmodified version of the

 

AGTL+

requested line. Also, driven in conjunction with HITM# by the target to

 

 

extend the snoop window.

 

 

 

 

HITM#

I/O

Hit Modified: Indicates that a caching agent holds a modified version of

 

AGTL+

the requested line and that this agent assumes responsibility for

 

 

providing the line. Also, driven in conjunction with HIT# to extend the

 

 

snoop window.

 

 

 

 

 

HLOCK#

I/O

Host Lock: All CPU bus cycles sampled with the assertion of HLOCK#

 

AGTL+

and ADS#, until the negation of HLOCK# must be atomic; that is, no Hub

 

 

interface snoopable access to system memory is allowed when HLOCK#

 

 

is asserted by the CPU.

 

 

 

 

HREQ[4:0]#

I/O

Host Request Command: Defines the attributes of the request.

 

AGTL+

HREQ[4:0]# are transferred at 2x rate. Asserted by the requesting agent

 

 

during both halves of the Request Phase. In the first half the signals

 

 

define the transaction type to a level of detail that is sufficient to begin a

 

 

snoop request. In the second half the signals carry additional information

 

 

to define the complete transaction type.

 

 

The transactions supported by the GMCH Host Bridge are defined in the

 

 

Host Interface section of this document.

 

 

 

HTRDY#

O

Host Target Ready: Indicates that the target of the processor

 

AGTL+

transaction is able to enter the data transfer phase.
