Signal Descriptions

s_par

TS

Secondary PCI interface parity. Signal s_par carries the even parity of the 36 bits of
s_ad[31:0] and s_cbe_l[3:0] for both address and data phases. Signal s_par is
driven by the same agent that drives the address (for address parity) or the data (for
data parity). Signal s_par contains valid parity one clock cycle after the address is
valid (indicated by assertion of s_frame_l), or one clock cycle after the data is valid
(indicated by assertion of s_irdy_l for write transactions and s_trdy_l for read
transactions). Signal s_par is tristated one clock cycle after the s_ad lines are
tristated. The device receiving data samples s_par as an input to check for possible
parity errors.

When the secondary PCI bus is idle, the 21555 drives s_par to a valid logic level
when its secondary bus grant is asserted (one clock cycle after the s_ad bus is
parked).

s_stop_l

STS

Secondary PCI interface STOP#. Signal s_stop_l is driven by the target of a
transaction, indicating that the target is requesting the initiator to stop the
transaction on the secondary bus.

When s_stop_l is asserted in conjunction with s_trdy_l and s_devsel_l assertion,
a disconnect with data transfer is being signaled.

When s_stop_l and s_devsel_l are asserted, but s_trdy_l is deasserted, a target
disconnect without data transfer is being signaled. When this occurs on the first data
phase, that is, no data is transferred during the transaction, this is referred to as a
target retry.

When s_stop_l is asserted and s_devsel_l is deasserted, the target is signaling a
target abort.

Upon completion of a transaction, s_stop_l is driven to a deasserted state for one
clock cycle and is then sustained by an external pull-up resistor.

s_trdy_l

STS

Secondary PCI interface TRDY#. Signal s_trdy_l is driven by the target of a
transaction to indicate the target’s ability to complete the current data phase on the
secondary PCI bus.

During a write transaction, assertion of s_trdy_l indicates that the target is able to
accept write data for the current data phase.

During a read transaction, assertion of s_trdy_l indicates that the target is driving
valid read data on the s_ad bus. Once asserted during a given data phase, s_trdy_l
is not deasserted until the data phase completes.

Upon completion of a transaction, s_trdy_l is driven to a deasserted state for one
clock cycle and is then sustained by an external pull-up resistor.
