Target Local-Side Signals

Table 3–7

summarizes the target interface signals that provide the

interface between the PCI MegaCore function and the local-side
peripheral device(s) during target transactions.

When a local side transaction is not in progress, local side inputs
should be driven to the deasserted state.

Description

lt_abortn

Input

Low

Local target abort request. The local side should assert this
signal requesting the PCI MegaCore function to issue a target
abort to the PCI master. The local side should request an abort
when it has encountered a fatal error and cannot complete the
current transaction.

lt_discn

Input

Low

Local target disconnect request. The

lt_discn

input

requests the PCI MegaCore function to issue a retry or a
disconnect. The PCI MegaCore function issues a retry or
disconnect depending on when the signal is asserted during a
transaction.

The PCI bus specification requires that a PCI target issues a
disconnect whenever the transaction exceeds its memory
space. When using PCI MegaCore functions, the local side is
responsible for asserting

lt_discn

if the transaction crosses

its memory space.
