Signal Descriptions
p_par TS
Primary PCI interface parity. Signal p_par carries the even parity of the 36 bits of
p_ad[31:0] and p_cbe_l[3:0] for both address and data phases. Signal p_par is
driven by the same agent that drives the address (for address parity) or the data (for
data parity). Signal p_par contains valid parity one clock cycle after the address is
valid (indicated by assertion of p_frame_l), or one clock cycle after the data is valid
(indicated by assertion of p_irdy_l for write transactions and p_trdy_l for read
transactions). Signal p_par is tristated one clock cycle after the p_ad lines are
tristated.
The device receiving data samples p_par as an input to check for possible parity
errors. When the primary PCI bus is idle, the 21555 drives p_par to a valid logic
level when p_gnt_l is asserted (one clock cycle after the p_ad bus is parked).
p_req_l TS
Primary PCI bus REQ#. Signal p_req_l is asserted by the 21555 to indicate to the
primary bus arbiter that it wants to start a transaction on the primary bus. Signal
p_req_l is tristated during the assertion of chip reset.
p_stop_l STS
Primary PCI interface STOP#. Signal p_stop_l is driven by the target of a
transaction, indicating that the target is requesting the initiator to stop the transaction
on the primary bus.
• When p_stop_l is asserted in conjunction with p_trdy_l and p_devsel_l
assertion, a disconnect with data transfer is being signaled.
• When p_stop_l and p_devsel_l are asserted, but p_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 p_stop_l is asserted and p_devsel_l is deasserted, the target is
signaling a target abort.
Upon completion of a transaction, p_stop_l is driven to a deasserted state for one
clock cycle and is then sustained by an external pull-up resistor.
p_trdy_l STS
Primary PCI interface TRDY#. Signal p_trdy_l is driven by the target of a
transaction to indicate the target's ability to complete the current data phase on the
primary PCI bus.
During a write transaction, assertion of p_trdy_l indicates that the target is able to
accept write data for the current data phase.
During a read transaction, assertion of p_trdy_l indicates that the target is driving
valid read data on the p_ad bus. Once asserted during a given data phase, p_trdy_l
is not deasserted until the data phase completes.
Upon completion of a transaction, p_trdy_l is driven to a deasserted state for one
clock cycle and is then sustained by an external pull-up resistor.
