Signal Description – PCI Slot Connector

SYSTEM PINS

CLK

Clock provides timing for all transactions on PCI and is an input to every PCI device. All other PCI signals, except
RST#, INTA#, INTB#, INTC#, and INTD#, are sampled on the risingedge of CLK and all other timing parameters are

defined with respect to this edge. PCI operates at 33MHz.

PME#

Power Management Event interrupt signal. Wake up signal.

RST#

Reset is used to bring PCI-specific registers, sequencers, and signals to a consistent state. What effect RST# has on

a device beyond the PCI sequencer is beyond the scope of this specification, except for reset states of required PCI
configuration registers. Anytime RST# is asserted, all PCI output signals must be driven to their benign state. In

general, this means they must be asynchronously tri-stated. SERR# (open drain) is floated. REQ# and GNT# must

both be tri-stated (they cannot be driven low or high during reset). To prevent AD, C/BE#, and PAR signals from

floating during reset, the central resource may drive these lines during reset (bus parking) but only to a logic low
level–they may not be driven high.

RST# may be asynchronous to CLK when asserted or deasserted. Although asynchronous, deassertion is guaranteed

to be a clean, bounce-free edge. Except for configuration accesses, only devices that are required to boot the

system will respond after reset.

ADDRESS AND DATA

AD[31::00]

Address and Data are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A bus transaction consists of an address phase followed by

one or more data phases. PCI supports both read and write bursts.

The address phase is the clock cycle in which FRAME# is asserted. During the address phase AD[31::00] contain a
physical address (32 bits). For I/O, this is a byte address; for configuration and memory, it is a DWORD address.

During data phases AD[07::00] contain the least significant byte (lsb) and AD[31::24] contain the most significant

byte (msb). Write data is stable and valid when IRDY# is asserted and read data is stable and valid when TRDY# is

asserted. Data is transferred during those clocks where both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted.

C/BE[3::0]#

Bus Command and Byte Enables are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address phase of a transaction,

C/BE[3::0]# define the bus command. During the data phase C/BE[3::0]# are used as Byte Enables. The Byte

Enables are valid for the entire data phase and determine which byte lanes carry meaningful data. C/BE[0]#

applies to byte 0 (lsb) and C/BE[3]# applies to byte 3 (msb).

PAR

Parity is even parity across AD[31::00] and C/BE[3::0]#. Parity generation is required by all PCI agents. PAR is

stable and valid one clock after the address phase. For data phases, PAR is stable and valid one clock after either

IRDY# is asserted on a write transaction or TRDY# is asserted on a read transaction. Once PAR is valid, it remains
valid until one clock after the completion of the current data phase. (PAR has the same timing as AD[31::00], but it

is delayed by one clock.) The master drives PAR for address and write data phases; the target drives PAR for read

data phases.

INTERFACE CONTROL PINS

FRAME#

Cycle Frame is driven by the current master to indicate the beginning and duration of an access. FRAME# is

asserted to indicate a bus transaction is beginning. While FRAME# is asserted, data transfers continue. When

FRAME# is deasserted, the transaction is in the final data phase or has completed.

IRDY#

Initiator Ready indicates the initiating agent’s (bus master’s) ability to complete the current data phase of the

transaction. IRDY# is used in conjunction with TRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock both IRDY# and

TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a write, IRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[31::00]. During a

read, it indicates the master is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until both IRDY# and TRDY# are
asserted together.

TRDY#

Target Ready indicates the target agent’s (selected device’s) ability to complete the current data phase of the

transaction. TRDY# is used in conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock both TRDY# and

IRDY# are sampled asserted. During a read, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[31::00]. During a
write, it indicates the target is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until both IRDY# and TRDY# are

asserted together.

STOP#

Stop indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the current transaction.

LOCK#

Lock indicates an atomic operation that may require multiple transactions to complete. When LOCK# is asserted,

non-exclusive transactions may proceed to an address that is not currently locked. A grant to start a transaction on
PCI does not guarantee control of LOCK#. Control of LOCK# is obtained under its own protocol in conjunction with

GNT#. It is possible for different agents to use PCI while a single master retains ownership of LOCK#. If a device

implements Executable Memory, it should also implement LOCK# and guarantee complete access exclusion in that

memory. A target of an access that supports LOCK# must provide exclusion to a minimum of 16 bytes (aligned).
Host bridges that have system memory behind them should implement LOCK# as a target from the PCI bus point of

view and optionally as a master.

IDSEL

Initialization Device Select is used as a chip select during configuration read and write transactions.

DEVSEL#

Device Select, when actively driven, indicates the driving device has decoded its address as the target of the

current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has been selected.
