Figure 13-11 Address Comparison to Detect Access to External Region
When the EBU is processing an PLMB access, the address is compared in parallel to
the parameters of all five regions. The address comparison process for one region is
shown in Figure 13-11. This process is as follows:
1. The most significant four bits of the PLMB address are compared with the ALTSEG
bit field (“alternate” segment address). The result of the comparison (1 if equal,
otherwise 0) is fed to an AND gate.
2. If ALTENAB = 0, the alternate segment function is disabled and the output of the
AND gate is 0. With ALTENAB = 1, the alternate segment function is enabled, and
the result of the comparison between ALTSEG and the segment part of the PLMB
address is fed to an OR gate.
