DS31256 256-Channel, High-Throughput HDLC Controller
21 of 183
Signal Name:
LHLDA (
LBG)
Signal Description:
Local Bus Hold Acknowledge (Local Bus Grant) (PCI Bridge Mode Only)
Signal Type:
Input
This input signal is sampled on the rising edge of LCLK to determine when the device has been granted access to
the bus. In Intel mode (LIM = 0), this is an active-high signal; in Motorola mode (LIM = 1) this is an active-low
signal. This signal is ignored and should be connected high when the local bus is in configuration mode
(LMS = 1). Also, in PCI bridge mode (LMS = 0), this signal should be wired deasserted when the local bus
arbitration is disabled through the LBBMC register.
Signal Name:
LHOLD (
LBR)
Signal Description:
Local Bus Hold (Local Bus Request) (PCI Bridge Mode Only)
Signal Type:
Output
This signal is asserted when the DS31256 is attempting to control the local bus. In Intel mode (LIM = 0), this
signal is an active-high signal; in Motorola mode (LIM = 1) this signal is an active-low signal. It is deasserted
concurrently with
LBGACK. This signal is tri-stated when the local bus is in configuration mode (LMS = 1) and
also in PCI bridge mode (LMS = 0) when the local bus arbitration is disabled through the LBBMC register.
Signal Name:
LBGACK
Signal Description:
Local Bus Grant Acknowledge (PCI Bridge Mode Only)
Signal Type:
Output (tri-state capable)
This active-low signal is asserted when the local bus hold-acknowledge/bus grant signal (LHLDA/
LBG) has been
detected and continues its assertion for a programmable (32 to 1,048,576) number of LCLKs, based on the local
bus arbitration timer setting in the LBBMC register. This signal is tri-stated when the local bus is in configuration
mode (LMS = 1).
Signal Name:
LBHE
Signal Description:
Local Bus Byte-High Enable (PCI Bridge Mode Only)
Signal Type:
Output (tri-state capable)
This active-low output signal is asserted when all 16 bits of the data bus (LD[15:0]) are active. It remains high if
only the lower 8 bits (LD[7:0)] are active. If bus arbitration is enabled through the LARBE control bit in the
LBBMC register, this signal is tri-stated when the local bus is not currently involved in a bus transaction and
driven when a bus transaction is active. When bus arbitration is disabled, this signal is always driven. This signal
remains in tri-state when the local bus is not involved in a bus transaction and is in configuration mode
(LMS = 1).
Signal Name:
LCLK
Signal Description:
Local Bus Clock (PCI Bridge Mode Only)
Signal Type:
Output (tri-state capable)
This signal outputs a buffered version of the clock applied at the PCLK input. All local bus signals are generated
and sampled from this clock. This output is tri-stated when the local bus is in configuration mode (LMS = 1). It
can be disabled in the PCI bridge mode through the LBBMC register.
Signal Name:
LCS
Signal Description:
Local Bus Chip Select (Configuration Mode Only)
Signal Type:
Input
This active-low signal must be asserted for the device to accept a read or write command from an external host.
This signal is ignored in the PCI bridge mode (LMS = 0) and should be connected high.
