snooping condition). No snoop update to the PowerQUICC II processor cache occurs if the transaction is
not marked global. This includes invalidation cycles.

When the PowerQUICC II processor detects a qualified snoop condition, the address associated with the
TS is compared against the data cache tags. Snooping completes if no hit is detected. However, if the
address hits in the cache, the PowerQUICC II processor reacts according to the MEI protocol shown in

. This figure assumes that WIM = 0b001 (memory space is marked for write-back,

caching-allowed, and coherency-enforced modes).

Processor State Signals

This section describes the PowerQUICC II’s support for atomic update and memory through the use of the
lwarx/stwcx. instruction pair. It also describes the TLBISYNC input.
