Bus Operation
MOTOROLA MC68030 USER’S MANUAL 7-81
LEGEND:
N — The number of current even bus state (e.g., S2, S4, etc.)
A — Signal is asserted in this bus state
NA — Signal is not asserted in this state
X — Don't care
S — Signal was asserted in previous state and remains asserted in this state
Table 7-8 shows various combinations of control signal sequences and the resulting bus
cycle terminations. To ensure predictable operation, BERR
and HALT should be negated
according to the specifications in MC68030EC/D,
MC68030 Electrical Specifications
.
DSACKx
, BERR, and HALT may be negated after AS. If DSACKx or BERR remain asserted
into S2 of the next bus cycle, that cycle may be terminated prematurely.
The termination signal for a synchronous cycle is STERM
. An analogous set of bus cycle
termination cases exists in relationship to STERM
assertion. Note that STERM and
DSACKx
must never both be asserted in the same cycle. STERM has setup time (#60) and
hold time (#61) requirements relative to each rising edge of the processor clock whil
e AS is
asserted. Bus error and retry terminations during burst cycles operate as described in
6.1.3.2 Burst Mode Filling, 7.5.1 Bus Errors, and 7.5.2 Retry Operation.
