UltraSPARC User’s Manual
S_REPLY takes a single interconnect clock cycle. SC asserts S_REPLY to initiate
data transfer to/from UltraSPARC and to acknowledge P_REQs from
UltraSPARC. Table 7-19 specifies the S_REPLY encodings.
SC must obey the following rules when generating S_REPLYs:
1. There is no ordering of S_REPLYs between transaction classes. Within each
Class, however, S_REPLYs must be strongly ordered.
2. Figure 7-24 on page 123 and Figure 7-25 on page 123 show S_REPLY timing
to the source and sink of data. UltraSPARC drives data 2 clock cycles after
receiving S_WAB, S_WAS, S_SRS or S_CRAB. UltraSPARC receives data 1
clock cycle after S_RBU, S_RBS, S_RAS, or S_SWIB.
3. Figure 7-26 on page 123 shows S_REPLY read data timing after receiving a
P_REPLY from UltraSPARC. There are a minimum of two clock cycles
between when SC receives the P_REPLY and when it can send the
S_REPLY to initiate the data transfer. Figure 7-26 also shows the handshake
for delivering data to UltraSPARC.
4. Figure 7-27 on page 124 shows the timing for back-to-back S_REQs for
Copyback. The earliest that SC can send another S_REQ to the same
UltraSPARC is the cycle after it sends the S_REPLY.
