M/IO#
O
The
memory/input-output
is one of the primary bus cycle definition pins. It is
driven valid in the same clock as the ADS# signal is asserted. M/IO#
distinguishes between memory and I/O cycles.
NA#
I
An active
next address
input indicates that the external memory system is ready
to accept a new bus cycle although all data transfers for the current cycle have
not yet completed. The processor issues ADS# for a pending cycle two clocks
after NA# is asserted. The processor supports up to two outstanding bus cycles.
NMI/LINT1
I
The
non-maskable interrupt
request signal indicates that an external non-
maskable interrupt has been generated.
When the local APIC is enabled, this pin becomes LINT1.
PBGNT#
I/O
Private bus grant
is the grant line that is used when two Pentium processors
with MMX technology are configured in dual processing mode, in order to
perform private bus arbitration. PBGNT# should be left unconnected if only one
Pentium processor with MMX technology exists in a system.
PBREQ#
I/O
Private bus request
is the request line that is used when two Pentium
processors with MMX technology are configured in dual processing mode, in
order to perform private bus arbitration. PBREQ# should be left unconnected
when only one processor exists in a system.
PCD
O
The
page cache disable
pin reflects the state of the PCD bit in CR3, the Page
Directory Entry, or the Page Table Entry. PCD provides an external cacheability
indication on a page by page basis.
PCHK#
O
The
parity check
output indicates the result of a parity check on a data read. It is
driven with parity status two clocks after BRDY# is returned. PCHK# remains low
one clock for each clock in which a parity error was detected. Parity is checked
only for the bytes on which valid data is returned.
When two Pentium processors with MMX technology are operating in dual
processing mode, PCHK# may be driven two or three clocks after BRDY# is
returned.
PEN#
I
The
parity enable
input (along with CR4.MCE) determines whether a machine
check exception will be taken as a result of a data parity error on a read cycle.
When this pin is sampled active in the clock a data parity error is detected, the
processor latches the address and control signals of the cycle with the parity
error in the machine check registers. When PEN# is sampled active and the
machine check enable bit in CR4 is set to “1”, the processor vectors to the
machine check exception before the beginning of the next instruction.
PHIT#
I/O
Private hit
is a hit indication used when two Pentium processors with MMX
technology are configured in dual processing mode, in order to maintain local
cache coherency. PHIT# should be left unconnected when only one processor
exists in a system.
PHITM#
I/O
Private modified hit
is a hit on a modified cache line indication used when two
Pentium processors with MMX technology are configured in dual processing
mode, in order to maintain local cache coherency. PHITM# should be left
unconnected if only one processor exists in a system.
PICCLK
I
The APIC interrupt controller serial data bus clock is driven into the
programmable interrupt controller clock
input of the processor.
This pin is 3.3-V-tolerant-only on the Pentium processor with MMX technology.
Please refer to the
Embedded Pentium
Processor Family Developer’s Manual
(order number 273204) for the CLK and PICCLK signal quality specification.

of the Pentium processor
with MMX technology comprise the data portion of the APIC 3-wire bus. They are
open-drain outputs that require external pull-up resistors. These signals are
multiplexed with DPEN# and APICEN respectively.
