7.2.11.4 Time Base Enable (TBEN)—Input
7.2.11.5 TLB Invalidate Synchronize (TLBISYNC
)—Input
The TLB Invalidate Synchronize (TLBISYNC
) signal is an input-only signal.
7.2.12 Processor Mode Selection Signals
Table 7-6 summarizes the processor mode select signals of the 750GX. The mode select signals establish
the operating modes of the processor after reset (for example, 32-bit or 64-bit data mode or DRTRY mode).
Mode select signals are sampled at the rising transition of HRESET
.
State Asserted Indicates that the time base and decrementer should continue clocking. This
signal is essentially a “count enable” control for the time base and decre-
menter counter.
Negated Indicates that the time base and decrementer should stop clocking.
Timing Assertion/
Negation
May occur on any cycle. The sampling of this signal is synchronous with
SYSCLK.
State Asserted Prevents execution of a tlbsync instruction from completing.
Negated Enables execution of a tlbsync to complete.
Timing Assertion/
Negation
Might occur on any cycle.
Start-Up See Table 7-6, Summary of Mode Select Signals, on page 274 for a descrip-
tion of the start-up function.
