5-2 Bus Interface

AMD-K5 Processor Technical Reference Manual 18524C/0—Nov1996

5.1 Signal Overview

The signals on the AMD-K5 processor are compatible with the

comparable signals on the Pentium (735\90, 815\100) processor

296-pin socket. Appendix A gives a complete list of hardware

and software issues relating to this compatibility. The follow-

ing figures and tables summarize the characteristics and

behavior of the AMD-K5 processor’s signals:

■ Figure 5-1 (Signal Groups) summarizes the processor’s sig-

nals, showing the functional groups to which each signal

belongs.

■ Table 5-1 (Summary of Signal Characteristics) shows each

signal’s I/O type, when it is sampled, driven, and floated,

and its internal resistor (if any).

■ Table 5-2 on page 5-8 (Conditions for Driving and Sampling

Signals) shows the states and bus cycles during which the

processor effectively drives or samples each signal.

■ Table 5-3 on page 5-16 (Summary of Interrupts and Excep-

tions) shows the priority and characteristics of interrupts

and exceptions.
