I/O
FUNCTION
System address / data bus
I / O A 64-bit address and data bus for communication between the processor and an
external agent.
System command / data identifier bus
I / O A 9-bit bus for command and data identifier transmission between the processor
and an external agent.
System command/data check bus
I/O
A 8-bit bus containing parity check bits for the SysAD bus during data cycles.
I / O Reserved for system command/data identifier bus parity
For the TX9956C this signal is unused on input and zero on output.
Valid input
I The external agent asserts ValidIn* when it is driving a valid address or data on
the SysAD bus and a valid command or data identifier on the SysCmd bus.
Valid output
O The processor asserts ValidOut* when it is driving a valid address or data on the
SysAD bus and a valid command or data identifier on the SysCmd bus.
External request
I
An external agent asserts ExtRqst* to request use of the System interface.
O Release interface
Signals that the system interface needs to submit an external request.
I
Write Ready
Signals that an external agent can now accept a processor write request.
I
Read Ready
Signals that an external agent can now accept a processor read request.
