4.8.2.2 HOLD Bus Arbitration Implementation

.

Table 6. Key to Switching Waveforms

The HOLD/HLDA bus arbitration scheme is used prima-

rily in systems where all memory transfers are seen by

the microprocessor. The HOLD/HLDA bus arbitration

scheme permits simple write-back cache design while

maintaining a relatively high performing system. Figure

3 shows a typical system block diagram for HOLD/HLDA

bus arbitration.

Note: To maintain proper system timing, the HOLD

signal must remain active for one clock cycle after HITM

transitions active. Deassertion of HOLD in the same

clock cycle as HITM assertion may lead to unpredictable

processor behavior.

4.8.2.2.1 Processor-Induced Bus Cycles

In the following scenarios, read accesses are assumed

to be cache line fills. The cases also assume that the

core system logic does not return BRDY or RDY until

HITM is sampled. The addition of wait states follows the

standard 486 bus protocol. For demonstration purpos-

es, only the zero wait state approach is shown. Table 6

explains the key to switching waveforms.

4.8.2.2.2 External Read

Scenario: The data resides in external memory (see

Figure 4).

Step 1 The processor starts the external read access

by asserting ADS = 0 and W/R = 0.

Step 2 WB/WT is sampled in the same cycle as BRDY.

If WB/WT = 1, the data resides in a write-back

cacheable memory location.

Step 3 The processor completes its burst read and as-

serts BLAST.

4.8.2.2.3 External Write

Scenario: The data is written to the external memory

(see Figure 5).

Step 1 The processor starts the external write access

by asserting ADS = 0 and W/R = 1.

Step 2 The processor completes its write to the core

system logic.

4.8.2.2.4 HOLD/HLDA External Access TIming

In systems with two or more bus masters, each bus

master is equipped with individual HOLD and HLDA con-

trol signals. These signals are then centralized to the

core system logic that controls individual bus masters,

depending on bus request signals and the HITM signal.
