1.4 APPLICATION—MULTIPLE
DEVICE EXPANSION
Figure 1-3 illustrates the PCI 6150 being used to
provide electrical isolation to the PCI Bus. This is
necessary because PCI slots restrict the number of
loads that can be accommodated. The devices on the
secondary port must be PCI, and the bus must
operate at 32-bit, up to 66 MHz. This configuration is a
common mechanism for providing multiple PCI
devices on a single bus without exceeding the bus
load limitation as defined in PCI r2.3.

2—Functional Overview
2 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
This section describes general operation of the
PCI 6150 bridge, and provides an overview of write
and read transactions.
2.1 GENERAL OPERATION
Each PCI port can run at different (asynchronous)
frequencies, up to 66 MHz, which allows the designer
to optimize the performance of each bus.
The PCI 6150 provides an Internal Arbiter function on
the secondary bus, for up to nine secondary bus
masters. However, the Internal Arbiter may be
disabled if an External Arbiter is used. The PCI 6150
also sources ten secondary PCI clock outputs.
The PCI 6150 supports a serial EEPROM device for
register configuration data. This allows the PCI 6150
to automatically load custom configuration upon
power-up, which minimizes the software overhead of
configuring the bridge through a host processor.
The PCI 6150 provides features satisfying the
requirements of PCI Power Mgmt. r1.1, supporting
Power Management states D0 through D3cold and
D3hot. (Refer to Section 18, “Power Management,” for
further details.)
The PCI 6150 is CompactPCI Hot Swap Ready, and
complies with PICMG 2.1 R2.0 with High Availability
Programming Interface level 1 (PI=1). (Refer to
Section 19, “Hot Swap,” for further details.)
The PCI 6150 fully supports Vital Product Data (VPD)
by providing the Address, Data, and Control registers
(PVPDAD; PCI:EAh, PVPDATA; PCI:ECh, PVPDID;
PCI:E8h, and PVPD_NEXT; PCI:E9h) for accessing
VPD stored in the unused portion of the serial
EEPROM. VPD allows reading or writing of user data
to the upper 192 bytes of serial EEPROM space, and
that data can contain information such as board serial
number, software revision, firmware revision, or other
data required for non-volatile storage. (Refer to
Section 20, “VPD,” for further details.)
2.2 WRITE TRANSACTIONS
The primary or secondary bus accomplishes a Write
operation by placing the address and data into the
Write buffer. This initiates a PCI Write operation on the
other bus. The Write operation is called a Posted Write
operation, because the initiating bus performs the
write, then moves on without waiting for the operation
to complete.
In addition, the PCI 6150 has the capability to start a
Write operation before receiving all Write data. In this
case, the Write operation begins when there is
sufficient Write data to begin the burst, providing a
Flow-Through operation as the balance of the Write
data arrives in the device.
2.3 READ TRANSACTIONS
When the downstream or upstream bus needs to read
data from the other bus, the bus places the Read
request into the Read Command queue. This initiates
a Read operation on the other bus, and the data is
placed into the associated Read buffer as it returns.
For PCI transactions, there is an additional prefetch
mechanism when returning the requested Read data.
In this mode, the PCI 6150 can be programmed to
prefetch up to 1 KB of data at a time. This data is
stored in the Read buffer and is not flushed until the
buffer times out. If requested, prefetched data can be
delivered to the PCI Bus without the normal read on
the other bus.

Pin Description Pull-Up and Pull-Down Resistor Recommendations
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
3-2 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
3.2 PULL-UP AND PULL-DOWN
RESISTOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Pull-up and pull-down resistor values are not critical.
With the exception of those mentioned in Section
3.2.1, a 10K-Ohm resistor is recommended unless
stated otherwise.
3.2.1 PCI Bus Interface Pins
The pins detailed in Table 3-2 are generic primary and
secondary PCI interface pins. When producing
motherboards, system slot cards, adapter cards,
backplanes, and so forth, the termination of these pins
should follow the guidelines detailed in PCI r2.3.
The following guidelines are not exhaustive and
should be read in conjunction with the appropriate
sections of PCI r2.3.
PCI control signals require a pull-up resistor on the
motherboard to ensure that these signals are always
at valid values when a PCI Bus agent is not driving the
bus. These control signals include DEVSEL#,
FRAME#, IRDY#, LOCK#, PERR#, SERR#, STOP#,
and TRDY#. The point-to-point and shared bus signals
do not require pull-up resistors, as bus parking
ensures that these signals remain stable. The value of
these pull-up resistors depends on the bus loading.
PCI r2.3 provides formulas for calculating these
resistors.
When making adapter cards in which the PCI 6150
primary port is wired to the PCI connector, pull-up
resistors are not required because they are
pre-installed on the motherboard.
Based on the above, in an embedded design, pull-up
resistors may be required for PCI control signals on
the primary and secondary buses. Whereas, for a PCI
adapter card design, pull-up resistors are required
only on the PCI 6150 port that is not connected to the
motherboard or host system.
S_M66EN must be pulled high or low with a 10K-Ohm
resistor.
The S_REQ[8:1]# inputs must be pulled high with
a 10K-Ohm pull-up resistor to VDD. S_REQ0#
also requires a 10K-Ohm pull-up resistor to VDD if
S_CFN#=0.
Pull S_GNT[8:1]# high if S_CFN#=1.
3.2.2 Clock-Related Pins
Clock routing is detailed in Section 4, “Clocking.”
Pull-up resistors are not required on the S_CLKO[9:0]
pins; however, a series termination resistor is required
when using these pins. S_CLKO0 may require a
pull-up resistor when this pin is disabled
(SCLKCNTRL[1:0]=11b; PCI:68h). S_CLKO[9:0] may
also require pull-up resistors if they are disabled by
pulling MSK_IN high. Table 3-3 delineates the
remaining clock pin resistor requirements.
Notes: * Refer also to the text preceding this table.
** MSK_IN is used in the PQFP package only.
3.2.3 Reset Pins
The P_RSTIN# Reset signal may require a pull-up
resistor, depending on the application. The
S_RSTOUT# Reset signal does not require a pull-up
nor pull-down resistor.

3—Pin Description
3.2.4 CompactPCI Hot Swap Pins
If Hot Swap is used, pull the EJECT_EN# and
GPIO3FN# pins low. The GPIO3 pin is then used as
an EJECT input for Hot Swap. PIN_LED/EJECT is
then connected to an external LED. If EJECT_EN# is
not used, it must be at logic 0 and pulled low.
If Hot Swap is not used, tie GPIO3FN# high or GPIO3
low. EJECT_EN# is don’t care.
3.2.5 JTAG Pins
The TCK, TDI, and TMS JTAG signals must be pulled
high or low to a known state, using an external
resistor. TRST# must be pulled low, using a 330-Ohm
resistor.
The TDO signal does not require a pull-up nor
pull-down resistor.
3.2.6 Serial EEPROM Pins
If a serial EEPROM is used, EE_EN# requires a
pull-down resistor. If a serial EEPROM is not used,
pull up EE_EN# to disable serial EEPROM autoload
during system boot-up.
EEPCLK does not require a pull-up nor pull-down
resistor. EEPDATA requires an external pull-up
resistor.
3.2.7 Miscellaneous Pins
The BPCC_EN signal may optionally be pulled high or
low. S_CFN# may also optionally be pulled high or
low, but must be tied low to use the Internal Arbiter.
When programmed as outputs, the GPIO[3:0] pins do
not require external pull-up nor pull-down resistors. If
configured as inputs, pull the GPIO[3:0] pins high or
low, depending on the application. If Hot Swap is not
used, tie GPIO3FN# high or GPIO3 low. When pulled
high, CFG66 enables the PCI 6150 to declare 66 MHz
capability.
3.2.7.1 System Voltage Pins
For designs and add-in cards that have an
independent VIO voltage source, and for which proper
power sequencing cannot be guaranteed, the current
between the VIO voltage source and PCI 6150 VIO
pins must be limited to protect the device from
long-term undue stress resulting in damage (such as
from resistor insertion).
Note: By their nature, add-in cards cannot assume proper
power sequencing and requirements must be met by system
power supplies.
Use the following guidelines to determine the required
resistance value for the P_VIO and S_VIO pins:
•3.3V signaling environments—40 to 200-Ohm
resistance between the VIO voltage source and
the PCI 6150 VIO pins is recommended if VIO
is a maximum of 3.6V
•3.3 or 5V signaling environments—40 to 70-Ohm
resistance is recommended
A single resistor can be used if the VIO pins are bused,
or multiple parallel resistors can be used between the
VIO voltage source and VIO pins. The resistor power
dissipation rating depends upon the resistance size
and signaling environment. For example, if a single
50-Ohm resistor is used in a 5V signaling
environment, the worst-case power dissipation would
result in 480 mW. (Refer to Figure 3-1.)
If four, 200-Ohm resistors are used in parallel, each
would be required to dissipate 120 mW.
Any resistance value within the recommended ranges
prevents the device from being damaged, while
providing sufficient clamping action to keep the Input
Voltage (VIN) below its maximum rating. A resistance
value at the lower end of the range is recommended to
provide preferable clamping action, and a sufficient
VIN margin.
480 mW =
(V • V) / R (5.5V (maximum signal amplitude, plus 10%) – 0.6V (1 diode drop))2
50 Ohms

4—Clocking
4 CLOCKING
This section describes the PCI 6150 clocking
requirements.
To correctly operate, the PCI 6150 requires both a
primary and secondary clock.
4.1 PRIMARY AND SECONDARY
CLOCK INPUTS
The PCI 6150 implements a separate clock input for
each PCI interface. The primary interface is
synchronized to the primary Clock input, P_CLKIN.
The secondary interface is synchronized to the
Secondary Clock input, S_CLKIN.
The PCI 6150 operates at a maximum frequency of
66 MHz. Output clocks S_CLKO[9:0] can be derived
from P_CLKIN, P_CLKIN/2, or an external
asynchronous clock source.
The PCI 6150 primary and Secondary Clock inputs
can be asynchronous. There are no skew constraints
between these Clock inputs; however, the maximum
ratio between the primary and secondary clock
frequencies are 1:2.5 or 2.5:1.
4.2 SECONDARY CLOCK OUTPUTS
The PCI 6150 has ten Secondary Clock outputs that
can be used to drive up to nine external secondary bus
devices, Typically, S_CLKO0 or S_CLKO4 is used to
drive the PCI 6150 S_CLKIN signal.
The rules for using secondary clocks are as follows:
• Each secondary clock output is limited to no more
than one PCI load at 66 MHz
• Each clock trace length, including the feedback
clock to the PCI 6150 S_CLKIN signal, must have
equal length and impedance
• Terminate or disable unused secondary clock
outputs to reduce power dissipation and noise
in the system
4.3 DISABLING UNUSED SECONDARY
CLOCK OUTPUTS
Note: MSK_IN is used in the PQFP package only. If using the
PBGA package, use software to disable unused Secondary Clock
buffers through the SCLKCNTRL; PCI:68h register.
When Secondary Clock outputs are not used,
GPIO[2, 0] and MSK_IN can be used to clock in a
serial mask that selectively three-states secondary
clock outputs. Refer to Section 14, “GPIO Interface,”
for details in this application.
After the serial mask is shifted into the PCI 6150, the
mask value is readable and can be changed in the
Clock Disable bits (SCLKCNTRL[13:0]; PCI:68h).
When the mask is modified by a Configuration Write
operation to this register, the new clock mask disables
the appropriate secondary clock outputs within a few
cycles. This feature allows software to disable or
enable Secondary Clock outputs based on the
presence of option cards, and so forth.
The PCI 6150 delays de-asserting S_RSTOUT#, until
the Serial Clock mask has completely shifted in and
the secondary clocks are disabled or enabled,
according to the mask. The delay between P_RSTIN#
assertion and S_RSTOUT# de-assertion is 16 to
32 clocks.
4.3.1 Secondary Clock Control
Note: MSK_IN is used in the PQFP package only. If using the
PBGA package, use software to disable unused Secondary Clock
buffers through the SCLKCNTRL; PCI:68h register.
The PCI 6150 uses the GPIO[2, 0] pins and MSK_IN
signal to input a 16-bit Serial Data stream. This data
stream is shifted into the Secondary Clock Control
register, as soon as P_RSTIN# is detected
de-asserted and S_RSTOUT# is detected, and is used
for selectively disabling S_CLKO[9:0] (SCLKCNTRL
[13:0]; PCI:68h). S_RSTOUT# de-assertion is delayed
until the PCI 6150 completes shifting in the Clock
Mask data, taking 16 Clock cycles (32 cycles if
operating at 66 MHz). After that, the GPIO[2, 0] pins
can be used as general purpose I/O pins.
Section 4
Clocking Disabling Unused Secondary Clock Outputs
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
4-2 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
An External Shift register should be used to load and
shift the data. (Refer to Figure 4-1.) The GPIO[2, 0]
pins are used for Shift register control and serial data
input, which occurs by way of a dedicated input signal,
MSK_IN. The Shift register circuitry is unnecessary for
correct PCI 6150 operation. The Shift registers may be
eliminated, and MSK_IN can be tied low to enable all
S_CLKO[9:0] signals, or tied high to force all
S_CLKO[9:0] signals high. Table 4-1 delineates
GPIO[2, 0] pin Shift register operation and Table 4-2
delineates serial data formatting, based on a design
where the PCI 6150 secondary bus is used to drive up
to four PCI adapter card slots or nine devices in an
embedded system.
As noted in Table 4-2, the first eight bits contain the
Philips 74F166 PRSNTx[2:1]# signal (refer to
Figure 4-1) values for four slots, and control
S_CLKO[3:0]. If one or both of the PRSNTx[2:1]#
signals are 0, a card is present in the slot and the
secondary clock for that slot is not masked. If these
clocks are connected to devices and not to slots, tie
one or both of the bits low, to enable the clock. The
next five bits are the clock device masks (that is, each
bit enables or disables the clock for one device).
These bits control S_CLKO[8:4]—a value of 0 enables
the clock, and 1 disables the clock. Bit 13 is the
S_CLKO9 Clock Enable bit, which is connected to the
PCI 6150 S_CLKIN.
If desired, the assignment of S_CLKOx to slots,
devices, and PCI 6150 S_CLKIN input can be
re-arranged from the assignment noted here.
However, it is important that the Serial Data Stream
format match the assignment of S_CLKOx. The
GPIO[2, 0] pin serial protocol is designed to work with
two Philips 74F166, 8-bit Bi-Directional Universal Shift
registers.
The eight least significant bits, SCLKCNTRL[7:0], are
connected to the 74F166 PRSNTx[2:1]# pins for the
slots. The SCLKCNTRL[12:8] are tied high to disable
their respective secondary clocks because those
clocks are not connected. SCLKCNTRL[13] is tied
high because S_CLKO9 is connected to the PCI 6150
S_CLKIN signal.
Figure 4-1 illustrates an example application where
the PCI 6150 is connected to four PCI adapter card
slots. The PRSNTx[2:1]# pin values on the 74F166
devices are shifted into SCLKCNTRL[7:0]. The
PRSNT0[1]# value is shifted into SCLKCNTRL[0],
PRSNT0[2]# value is shifted into SCLKCNTRL[1], and
so forth. Bit 0 in the upper 74F166 is tied low, and thus
enables S_CLKO4. In this application, S_CLKO4 may
be used as the feedback to S_CLKIN.
When S_RSTOUT# is detected asserted and
P_RSTIN# is detected de-asserted, the PCI 6150
drives GPIO2 low for one cycle to load the clock mask
inputs into the Shift register. On the next cycle, the
PCI 6150 drives GPIO2 high to perform a Shift
operation. This shifts the clock mask into MSK_IN; the
most significant bit is shifted in first, and the least
significant bit is shifted in last. (Refer to Figure 4-2.)
After the Shift operation is complete, the PCI 6150
places GPIO[2, 0] into a high-impedance state and
can de-assert S_RSTOUT# if the Secondary Reset bit
is clear (BCNTRL[6]=0; PCI:3Eh). The PCI 6150 then
ignores MSK_IN, and GPIO signal control reverts to
the PCI 6150 GPIO Control registers. The Clock
Disable bits can be subsequently modified through a
Configuration Write command to the Secondary Clock
Control register (SCLKCNTRL; PCI:68h) in
device-specific Configuration space.

4—Clocking
4.4 FREQUENCY DIVISION OPTIONS
The PCI 6150 has built-in frequency division options to
automatically adjust the S_CLKO[9:0] clocks for PCI
33 or 66 MHz operation. Table 4-3 lists the clock
division ratios used, depending on the P_M66EN and
S_M66EN signal states.
Note: S_M66EN cannot be floating.
4.5 USING AN EXTERNAL CLOCK
SOURCE
The PCI 6150 uses two signals—OSCSEL# and
OSCIN—when connecting an external clock source to
the PCI 6150. During normal operation, the PCI 6150
generates S_CLKO[9:0], based on the PCI clock
source (P_CLKIN). If OSCSEL# is asserted (low), then
the PCI 6150 derives S_CLKO[9:0] from the OSCIN
signal instead. Clock division is performed on the
OSCIN and P_CLKIN clocks, depending on the
P_M66EN and S_M66EN signal states.
4.6 RUNNING SECONDARY PORT
FASTER THAN PRIMARY PORT
The PCI 6150 allows the secondary port to use a
higher clock frequency than that of the primary port. In
this case, a secondary clock source, using an external
oscillator or clock generator, must be provided.
If the external oscillator is connected to OSCIN and
OSCSEL# is asserted (low), then the output generated
by S_CLKO[9:0] is divided, as per Table 4-3. Division
control can be disabled by pulling S_M66EN high and
not connecting this pin to a PCI slot (which may be on
the secondary bus). If the S_CLKO[9:0] outputs are
not required, then the external clock can be fed
directly into the S_CLKIN signal.

5—Reset and Initialization
5 RESET AND INITIALIZATION
This section describes 66 MHz operation, primary,
secondary, and power management reset, and
register initialization.
Note: JTAG reset is discussed in Section 21.1.4, “JTAG Reset
Input TRST#.”
5.1 66 MHZ OPERATION
Note: CFG66 is used in the PQFP package only. In the PBGA
package, the 66 MHz-Capable bits are hardwired to 1 (PCISR[5]=1;
PCI:06h and PCISSR[5]=1; PCI:1Eh) to indicate 66 MHz capability.
The PCI 6150 supports up to 66 MHz operation. The
CFG66 and P_M66EN pin inputs should be high for
66 MHz operation.
The CFG66 signal must be tied high on the board to
enable 66 MHz operation and to set the Status register
66 MHz Capable bits in Configuration space
(PCISR[5]=1; PCI:06h and PCISSR[5]=1; PCI:1Eh).
The P_M66EN and S_M66EN signals indicate
whether the primary and secondary interfaces,
respectively, are operating at 66 MHz. This
information is needed to control the secondary bus
frequency. Per PCI r2.3, for clock frequencies
between 33 and 66 MHz, the clock frequency may not
change except while P_RSTIN# is asserted, or when
Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) is used to reduce
EMI emissions.
The following primary and secondary bus frequency
combinations are supported when using the primary
P_CLKIN signal to generate secondary clock outputs:
• 66 MHz primary bus, 66 MHz secondary bus
• 66 MHz primary bus, 33 MHz secondary bus
• 33 MHz primary bus, 33 MHz secondary bus
If P_M66EN is low (for example, the primary bus runs
at 33 MHz), the PCI 6150 drives S_M66EN low to
indicate that the secondary bus is operating at
33 MHz. If the secondary bus is set to run faster than
the primary bus, S_M66EN need not be connected to
secondary PCI devices.
The PCI 6150 can also generate S_CLKO[9:0] from
OSCIN, if enabled. When the PCI 6150 is running with
external clock input that is not generated from
S_CLKO[9:0], the P_M66EN- and S_M66EN-
controlled clock division does not apply.
When OSCIN or other external clock inputs are used
for the secondary port, the PCI 6150 can run with a
maximum ratio of 1:2.5 or 2.5:1 between the primary
and secondary bus clocks.
For further details, refer to Section 4.4, “Frequency
Division Options,” and Section 4.6, “Running
Secondary Port Faster than Primary Port.”
5.2 RESET
This subsection describes the primary and secondary
interface and chip reset mechanisms. The PCI 6150
has two Reset mechanisms and two Reset pins—
P_RSTIN# and S_RSTOUT#. (Refer to Table 5-1.) In
addition, the PCI 6150 can respond to Power
Management-initiated internal resets.
After the Reset signals are de-asserted, the PCI 6150
requires 256 clocks to initialize bridge functions.
During this initialization, Type 0 accesses can be
accepted. However, no Memory nor I/O transactions
are allowed through the bridge during this time.

5.2.1 Primary Reset Input
To properly reset, the PCI 6150 requires at least two
clocks before the P_RSTIN# rising edge.
When P_RSTIN# is asserted, the following events
occur:
1. PCI 6150 immediately places all primary PCI
interface signals into a high-impedance state.
2. All registers are reset.
3. P_RSTIN# assertion automatically causes
a secondary port reset. Forty-three clocks after
P_RSTIN# goes high, S_RSTOUT# goes high.
4. Clock Disable bits begin shifting in at the rising
edge of P_RSTIN#.
The asserting and de-asserting edges of P_RSTIN#
can be asynchronous to P_CLKIN and S_CLKIN. The
P_RSTIN# asserting and de-asserting edges can be
asynchronous to P_CLKIN and S_CLKIN. The
PCI 6150 requires 256 primary port PCI clocks after
P_RSTIN# rising edge to reset its internal logic.
When P_RSTIN# is asserted, all primary PCI interface
signals, including the primary Request output, are
immediately placed into a high-impedance state. All
Posted Write and Delayed Transaction Data buffers
are reset. Therefore, transactions residing in the
buffers are discarded upon P_RSTIN# assertion.
5.2.2 Secondary Reset Output
The PCI 6150 is responsible for driving the secondary
bus Reset signal, S_RSTOUT#. The PCI 6150 asserts
S_RSTOUT# when any of the following conditions
are met:
• P_RSTIN# asserted
S_RSTOUT# remains asserted if P_RSTIN# is
asserted and does not de-assert until P_RSTIN#
is de-asserted.
• Bridge Control register Secondary Reset bit is set
(BCNTRL[6]=1; PCI:3Eh)
S_RSTOUT# remains asserted until BCNTRL[6]=0.
When S_RSTOUT# is asserted, all secondary PCI
interface control signals, including S_GNT[8:0]#, are
immediately placed into a high-impedance state.
S_AD[31:0], S_CBE[3:0]#, and S_PAR are driven low
for the duration of S_RSTOUT# assertion. All Posted
Write and Delayed Transaction Data buffers are reset;
therefore, any transactions residing in buffers at the
time of secondary reset are discarded.
When S_RSTOUT# is asserted by means of the
Secondary Reset bit, the PCI 6150 remains accessible
during secondary interface reset and continues to
respond to Configuration Space accesses from the
primary interface.
5.2.3 JTAG Reset
Refer to Section 21.1.4, “JTAG Reset Input TRST#.”
5.2.4 Software Resets
The Diagnostic Control register Chip Reset bit can be
used to reset the PCI 6150 (DCNTRL[0]=1; PCI:41h).
This action causes S_RSTOUT# assertion; however,
the signals are not placed into a high-impedance
state.
When the Chip Reset bit is set, all registers and chip
states are reset. When chip reset completes, within
four PCI Clock cycles after completion of the
Configuration Write operation that sets the Chip Reset
bit, the Chip Reset bit automatically clears and the
PCI 6150 is ready for configuration. During chip reset,
the PCI 6150 is inaccessible.
5.2.5 Power Management Internal Reset
.When there is a D3hot-to-D0 transition with the Power
Management Control/Status register Power State bits
programmed to D0 (PMCSR[1:0]=00b; PCI:E0h), an
internal reset equivalent to P_RSTIN# is generated
and all relevant registers are reset. However,
S_RSTOUT# is not asserted.

5—Reset and Initialization
5.3 REGISTER INITIALIZATION
The PCI 6150 Configuration registers may be
initialized in one of three ways:
• Default values
• Serial EEPROM contents
• Host initialization
5.3.1 Default Initialization
After P_RSTIN# de-assertion, the PCI 6150
automatically checks for a valid a serial EEPROM. If
the serial EEPROM is not valid nor present, the
PCI 6150 automatically loads default values into the
Configuration registers. (Refer to the “Value after
Reset” column of the register tables in Section 6,
“Registers.”)
5.3.2 Serial EEPROM Initialization
After P_RSTIN# de-assertion, if the PCI 6150 finds a
valid serial EEPROM, register values are loaded from
the serial EEPROM and overwrite the default values.
(Refer to Section 7.3, “Serial EEPROM Autoload
Mode at Reset.”)
5.3.3 Host Initialization
When device initialization is complete, the host system
may access the appropriate registers to configure
them according to system requirements.
Typically, registers are accessed by performing
Type 0 Configuration accesses from the appropriate
bus.
For details regarding register access, refer to Section
6, “Registers.”
Note: Not all registers may be written to nor available from both
sides of the bridge.

7—Serial EEPROM
7 SERIAL EEPROM
This section describes information specific to the
PCI 6150 serial EEPROM interface and use—access,
Autoload mode, and data structure.
7.1 OVERVIEW
Important Note: Erroneous serial EEPROM data can cause the
PCI 6150 to lock the system. Provide an optional switch or jumper
to disable the serial EEPROM in board designs.
The PCI 6150 provides a two-wire interface to a serial
EEPROM device. The interface can control an ISSI
IS24C02 or compatible part, which is organized as
256 x 8 bits. The serial EEPROM is used to initialize
the internal PCI 6150 registers, and alleviates the
need for user software to configure the PCI 6150. If a
programmed serial EEPROM is connected, the
PCI 6150 automatically loads data from the serial
EEPROM after P_RSTIN# de-assertion.
The serial EEPROM data structure is defined in
Section 7.4.1. The serial EEPROM interface is
organized on a 16-bit base in Little Endian format, and
the PCI 6150 supplies a 7-bit serial EEPROM Word
address.
The following pins are used for the serial EEPROM
interface:
•EEPCLK—Serial EEPROM clock output
•EEPDATA—Serial EEPROM bi-directional
serial data
•EE_EN#—Low input enables serial EEPROM
access
Note: The PCI 6150 does not control the serial EEPROM
A0 to A2 address inputs. It can only access serial EEPROM
addresses set to 0.
7.2 SERIAL EEPROM ACCESS
The PCI 6150 can access the serial EEPROM on a
Word basis, using the hardware sequencer. Users
access one Word data by way of the PCI 6150 Serial
EEPROM Control register:
• Serial EEPROM Start/Read/Write Control
(EEPCNTRL; PCI:54h)
• Serial EEPROM Address (EEPADDR; PCI:55h)
• Serial EEPROM Data (EEPDATA; PCI:56h)
Before each access, software should check the Auto
Mode Cycle in Progress status (EEPCNTRL[0];
PCI:54h, same bit as Start) before issuing the next
Start. The following is the general procedure for Read/
Write Serial EEPROM accesses:
1. Program the Serial EEPROM Address register
(EEPADDR; PCI:55h) with the Word address.
2. Writes—Program Word data to the Serial
EEPROM Data register (EEPDATA; PCI:56h).
Reads—Proceed to the next step.
3. Writes—Set the Serial EEPROM Command and
Start bits (EEPCNTRL[1:0]=11b; PCI:54h,
respectively) to start the Serial EEPROM
Sequencer.
Reads—Set the Start bit (EEPCNTRL[1:0]=01b;
PCI:54h) to start the Serial EEPROM Sequencer.
4. When the serial EEPROM read/write is complete,
as indicated by the bit value of 0 (Serial EEPROM
Control register, EEPCNTRL[0]=0; PCI:54h):
Writes—Data was successfully written to the serial
EEPROM.
Reads—Data was loaded into the Serial EEPROM
Data register (EEPDATA; PCI:56h) by the serial
EEPROM sequencer.

PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11

7.3 SERIAL EEPROM
AUTOLOAD MODE
AT RESET
Upon P_RSTIN# going high at Reset, the PCI 6150
autoloads input for the serial EEPROM autoload
condition if EE_EN#=0.
The PCI 6150 initially reads the first offset in the serial
EEPROM, which should contain a valid signature
value of 1516h. If the signature is correct, register
autoload immediately commences after reset. During
autoload, the PCI 6150 reads sequential words from
the serial EEPROM and writes to the appropriate
registers. If a blank serial EEPROM is connected, the
PCI 6150 stops loading the serial EEPROM contents
after reading the first word, as the serial EEPROM’s
signature is not valid. Likewise, if no serial EEPROM is
connected, the PCI 6150 also stops loading the serial
EEPROM contents after attempting to read the first
word.
Before the PCI 6150 registers can be accessed by
way of the host, check the auto-load condition by
reading the EEPAUTO bit. Host access is allowed only
after the EEPAUTO status becomes 0, which means
that the auto load initialization sequence is complete.
The serial EEPROM initialized value is cleared by an
active P_RSTIN# or Power Management-initiated
internal reset.
7.4 SERIAL EEPROM DATA
STRUCTURE
Following reset and the previously described
conditions, the PCI 6150 autoloads the registers with
serial EEPROM data. Figure 7-1 illustrates the serial
EEPROM data structure.
The PCI 6150 accesses the serial EEPROM, one
word at a time. It is important to note that in the
Data phase, bit orders are the reverse of that in the
Address phase. The PCI 6150 supports only Serial
EEPROM Device Address 0.

This section describes PCI transactions to which the
PCI 6150 responds and those it initiates when
operating with one or both of its interfaces.
8.1 TRANSACTIONS
Table 8-1 lists the PCI command codes and
transaction types to which the PCI 6150 responds and
initiates. The Master and Target columns indicate
support for transactions wherein the PCI 6150 initiates
transactions as a master, and responds to
transactions as a target, on the primary and secondary
buses.

PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
8-2 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
As indicated in Table 8-1, the PCI 6150 does not
support the following PCI commands—it ignores them
and reacts to these commands as follows:
•Reserved—The PCI 6150 does not generate
reserved command codes.
•Interrupt Acknowledge—The PCI 6150 never
initiates an Interrupt Acknowledge transaction and,
as a target, it ignores Interrupt Acknowledge
transactions. Interrupt Acknowledge transactions
are expected to reside entirely on the primary PCI
Bus closest to the host bridge.
•Special Cycle—The PCI 6150 does not respond
to Special Cycle transactions. To generate
Special Cycle transactions on other PCI Buses
(downstream or upstream), use a Type 1
Configuration command.
•Type 0 Configuration Write—The PCI 6150 does
not generate Type 0 Configuration Write
transactions on the primary interface.
8.2 SINGLE ADDRESS PHASE
The PCI 6150 32-bit address uses a single Address
phase. This address is driven on AD[31:0], and the
bus command is driven on P_CBE[3:0]#.
The PCI 6150 supports only the linear increment
Address mode, which is indicated when the lower two
Address bits equal 00b. If either of the lower two
Address bits is equal to a non-zero value, the
PCI 6150 automatically Disconnects the transaction
after the first Data transfer.
8.3 DUAL ADDRESS PHASE
The PCI 6150 supports the Dual Address Cycle (DAC)
bus command to transfer 64-bit addresses. In DAC
transactions, the first Address phase occurs during the
initial FRAME# assertion, and the second Address
phase occurs one clock later. During the first Address
phase, the DAC command is presented on CBE[3:0]#,
and the lower 32 bits of the address on AD[31:0]. The
second Address phase retains the cycle command on
CBE[3:0]#, and the upper 32 bits of the address on
AD[31:0].
DACs are used to access locations that are not in the
first 4 GB of PCI Memory space. Addresses in the first
4 GB of PCI Memory space always use a Single
Address Cycle (SAC).
The PCI 6150 supports DACs in the downstream and
upstream directions. The PCI 6150 responds to DACs
for the following commands only:
•Memory Write
• Memory Write and Invalidate
• Memory Read
• Memory Read Line
• Memory Read Multiple
The PCI 6150 forwards DACs downstream when their
addresses fall within Prefetchable Memory space.
DACs originating on the secondary bus, with
addresses outside Prefetchable Memory space, are
forwarded upstream.
8.4 DEVICE SELECT (DEVSEL#)
GENERATION
The PCI 6150 performs positive address decoding
when accepting transactions on the primary or
secondary bus. The PCI 6150 never subtractively
decodes. Medium DEVSEL# timing is used for
33 MHz operation. Slow DEVSEL# timing is used for
66 MHz operation.
8.5 DATA PHASE
Depending on the command type, the PCI 6150 can
support multiple Data phase PCI transactions. Write
transactions are treated as Posted Write or Delayed
Write transactions.
Table 8-2 lists the forwarding method used for each
type of Write operation.

8—PCI Bus Operation
8.5.1 Posted Write Transactions
When the PCI 6150 determines that a Memory Write
transaction is to be forwarded across the bridge, the
PCI 6150 asserts DEVSEL# with slow timing and
TRDY# in the same cycle, provided that sufficient
Buffer space is available in the Posted Write Data
queue, and that the queue contains fewer than four
outstanding Posted transactions. The PCI 6150 can
accept one dual-Dword of Write data every PCI Clock
cycle (that is, no target wait states are inserted). Up to
256 bytes of Posted Write data are stored in internal
Posted Write buffers and eventually delivered to the
target.
The PCI 6150 continues to accept Write data until one
of the following occurs:
• Initiator normally terminates the transaction
• Cache Line boundary or an aligned 4-KB boundary
is reached, depending on transaction type
• Posted Write Data buffer fills
When one of the last two events occurs, the PCI 6150
returns a Target Disconnect to the requesting initiator
on this Data phase to terminate the transaction.
After the Posted Write transaction is selected for
completion, the PCI 6150 requests ownership of the
target bus. This can occur while the PCI 6150 is
receiving data on the initiator bus. After the PCI 6150
has ownership of the target bus, and the target bus is
detected in the idle condition, the PCI 6150 initiates
the Write cycle and continues to transfer Write data
until all Write data corresponding to that transaction is
delivered, or a Target Termination is received. If Write
data exists in the queue, the PCI 6150 can drive one
dual-Dword of Write data each PCI Clock cycle. If
Write data is flowing through the PCI 6150 and the
initiator stalls, the PCI 6150 inserts wait states on the
target bus if the queue empties.
The PCI 6150 ends the transaction on the target bus
when one of the following conditions is met:
• All Posted Write data was delivered to the target
• Target returns a Target Disconnect or Retry (the
PCI 6150 starts another transaction to deliver the
remaining Write data)
• Target returns a Target Abort (the PCI 6150
discards remaining Write data)
The Master Latency Timer expires, and the PCI 6150
no longer retains the target bus grant (the PCI 6150
starts another transaction to deliver the remaining
Write data).
8.5.2 Memory Write and Invalidate
Transactions
Memory Write and Invalidate transactions guarantee
the transfer of entire cache lines. By default, the
PCI 6150 Retries a Memory Write and Invalidate cycle
until there is space for one or more cache lines of data
in the internal buffers. The PCI 6150 then completes
the transaction on the secondary bus as a Memory
Write and Invalidate cycle. The PCI 6150 can also be
programmed to accept Memory Write and Invalidate
cycles under the same conditions as normal Memory
Writes. In this case, if the Write buffer fills before an
entire cache line is transferred, the PCI 6150
Disconnects and completes the Write cycle on the
secondary bus as a normal Memory Write cycle by
way of the Miscellaneous Options register Memory
Write and Invalidate Control bit (MSCOPT[12];
PCI:46h). The PCI 6150 Disconnects Memory Write
and Invalidate commands at Aligned Cache Line
boundaries. The Cache Line Size register (PCICLSR;
PCI:0Ch) cache line size value provides the number of
Dwords in a cache line. For the PCI 6150 to generate
Memory Write and Invalidate transactions, this cache
line size value must be written to a value of 08h, 10h,
or 20h Dwords. If an invalid cache line size is
programmed, wherein the value is 0, not a power of
two, or greater than 20h Dwords, the PCI 6150 sets
the cache line size to the minimum value of 08h. The
PCI 6150 always Disconnects on the Cache Line
boundary.
When the Memory Write and Invalidate transaction is
Disconnected before a Cache Line boundary is
reached (typically because the Posted Write Data
buffer fills), the transaction is converted to a Memory
Write transaction.
Section 8
PCI Bus Operation Data Phase
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11

8.5.3 Delayed Write Transactions
A Delayed Write transaction forwards I/O Write and
Type 1 Configuration cycles by way of the PCI 6150,
and is limited to a single Dword Data transfer.
When a Write transaction is first detected on the
initiator bus, the PCI 6150 claims the access and
returns a Target Retry to the initiator. During the cycle,
the PCI 6150 samples the Bus Command, Address,
and Address Parity bits. The PCI 6150 also samples
the first data Dword, Byte Enable bits, and data parity.
Cycle information is placed into the Delayed
Transaction queue if there are no other existing
Delayed transactions with the same cycle information,
and if the Delayed Transaction queue is not full. When
the PCI 6150 schedules a Delayed Write transaction
to be the next cycle to complete based on its ordering
constraints, the PCI 6150 initiates the transaction on
the target bus. The PCI 6150 transfers the Write data
to the target.
If the PCI 6150 receives a Target Retry in response to
the Write transaction on the target bus, the PCI 6150
continues to repeat the Write transaction until the Data
transfer is complete, or an error condition is
encountered. If the PCI 6150 is unable to deliver Write
data after 224 attempts (programmable through the
Timeout Control register Maximum Retry Counter
Control bits, TOCNTRL[2:0]; PCI:45h), the PCI 6150
ceases further write attempts and returns a Target
Abort to the initiator. The Delayed transaction is
removed from the Delayed Transaction queue.
The PCI 6150 also asserts P_SERR# if the Command
register P_SERR# Enable bit is set (PCICR[8]=1;
PCI:04h). When the initiator repeats the same Write
transaction (same command, address, Byte Enable
bits, and data), after the PCI 6150 has completed data
delivery and retains all complete cycle information in
the queue, the PCI 6150 claims the access and
returns TRDY# to the initiator, indicating that the Write
data was transferred. If the initiator requests multiple
Dwords, the PCI 6150 asserts STOP#, in conjunction
with TRDY#, to signal a Target Disconnect. Only those
bytes of Write data with valid Byte Enable bits are
compared. If any Byte Enable bits are disabled (driven
high), the corresponding byte of Write data is not
compared.
If the initiator repeats the Write transaction before the
data is transferred to the target, the PCI 6150 returns
a Target Retry to the initiator. The PCI 6150 continues
to return a Target Retry to the initiator until Write data
is delivered to the target or an error condition is
encountered. When the Write transaction is repeated,
the PCI 6150 does not make a new entry into the
Delayed Transaction queue.
The PCI 6150 implements a Discard Timer that starts
counting when the Delayed Write completion is at the
head of the Delayed Transaction queue. The initial
value of this timer can be set to one of four values,
selectable through the primary and secondary Bridge
Control register Master Timeout bits (BCNTRL[8:9];
PCI:3Eh, respectively), as well as the Timeout Control
register Master Timeout Divider bits (TOCNTRL[7:4];
PCI:45h). If the Discard Timer expires before the Write
cycle is Retried, the PCI 6150 discards the Delayed
Write transaction from the Delayed Transaction
queue. The PCI 6150 also conditionally asserts
P_SERR#.

8—PCI Bus Operation
8.5.4 Write Transaction
Address Boundaries
The PCI 6150 imposes internal Address boundaries
when accepting Write data. The Aligned Address
boundaries are used to prevent the PCI 6150 from
continuing a transaction over a device Address
boundary and to provide an upper limit on maximum
latency. When the Aligned Address boundaries are
reached (per conditions listed in Table 8-3), the
PCI 6150 returns a Target Disconnect to the initiator.
8.5.5 Buffering Multiple
Write Transactions
The PCI 6150 continues to accept Posted Memory
Write transactions if space for at least 1 Dword of data
in the Posted Write Data buffer remains and there are
fewer than four outstanding Posted Memory Write
cycles. If the Posted Write Data buffer fills before the
initiator terminates the Write transaction, the PCI 6150
returns a Target Disconnect to the initiator.
Delayed Write transactions are posted when one or
more open entries exist in the Delayed Transaction
queue. The PCI 6150 can queue up to four Posted
Write transactions and four Delayed transactions in
both the downstream and upstream directions.
8.5.6 Read Transactions
Delayed Read forwarding is used for all Read
transactions that cross the PCI 6150.
Delayed Read transactions are treated as
prefetchable or non-prefetchable.
Table 8-4 delineates the read behavior (prefetchable
or non-prefetchable) for each type of Read operation.

A Prefetchable Read transaction is a Read transaction
wherein the PCI 6150 performs speculative DWORD
reads, transferring data from the target before the
initiator requests the data. This behavior allows a
Prefetchable Read transaction to consist of multiple
Data transfers. Only the first Byte Enable bits can be
forwarded. The PCI 6150 enables all Byte Enable bits
of subsequent transfers.
Prefetchable behavior is used for Memory Read Line
and Memory Read Multiple transactions, as well as
Memory Read transactions that fall into Prefetchable
Memory space.
The amount of prefetched data depends on the
transaction type. The amount of prefetching may also
be affected by the amount of free space in the
PCI 6150 Read FIFO and by the Read Address
boundaries encountered. In addition, there are several
PCI 6150-specific registers that can be used to
optimize read prefetch behavior.
Prefetching should not be used for those Read
transactions that cause side effects on the target
device (that is, Control and Status registers, FIFOs,
and so forth). The target device BARs indicate
whether a Memory Address region is prefetchable.
8.5.8 Non-Prefetchable Read
Transactions
A Non-Prefetchable Read transaction is a Read
transaction issued by the initiator into a non-
prefetchable region. The transaction is used for I/O
and Configuration Read transactions, as well as for
Memory Reads from Non-Prefetchable Memory
space. In this case, the PCI 6150 requests only
1 Dword from the target and Disconnects the initiator
after delivery of the first Dword of Read data.
Use Non-Prefetchable Read transactions for regions
in which extra Read transactions could have side
effects (such as in FIFO memory or the Control
registers). If it is important to retain the Byte Enable bit
values during the Data phase of cycles forwarded
across the bridge, use Non-Prefetchable Read
transactions. If these locations are mapped into
Memory space, use the Memory Read command and
map the target into Non-Prefetchable (Memory-
Mapped I/O) Memory space to utilize non-prefetching
behavior.
8.5.9 Read Prefetch
Address Boundaries
The PCI 6150 imposes internal Read Address
boundaries on read prefetching. The PCI 6150 uses
the Address boundary to calculate the initial amount of
prefetched data. During Read transactions to
Prefetchable regions, the PCI 6150 prefetches data
until it reaches one of these aligned Address
boundaries, unless the target signals a Target
Disconnect before reaching the Read Prefetch
boundary. After reaching the Aligned Address
boundary, the PCI 6150 may optionally continue
prefetching data, depending on certain conditions.
(Refer to Section 17, “PCI Flow-Through
Optimization.”) When finished transferring Read data
to the initiator, the PCI 6150 returns a Target
Disconnect with the last Data transfer, unless the
initiator completes the transaction before delivering all
the prefetched Read data. Remaining prefetched data
is discarded.
Prefetchable Read transactions in Flow-Through
mode prefetch to the nearest aligned 4-KB Address
boundary, or until the initiator de-asserts FRAME#.
Table 8-5 delineates the Read Prefetch Address
boundaries for Read transactions during Non-Flow-
Through mode.

8—PCI Bus Operation
8.5.10 Delayed Read Requests
The PCI 6150 treats all Read transactions as Delayed
Read transactions (that is, the Read request from the
initiator is posted into a Delayed Transaction queue).
Read data from the target is placed into the Read Data
queue directed toward the initiator bus interface and
transferred to the initiator when the initiator repeats the
Read transaction.
When the PCI 6150 accepts a Delayed Read request,
it first samples the Read address, Read bus
command, and address parity. When IRDY# is
asserted, the PCI 6150 samples the Byte Enable bits
for the first Data phase. This information is entered
into the Delayed Transaction queue. The PCI 6150
terminates the transaction by signaling a Target Retry
to the initiator. Upon receiving the Target Retry, the
initiator must to continue to repeat the same Read
transaction until at least one Data transfer completes,
or until it receives a target response other than a
Target Retry (Master or Target Abort).
8.5.11 Delayed Read Completion
with Target
When a Delayed Read request is scheduled to be
executed, the PCI 6150 arbitrates for the target bus
and initiates the Read transaction, using the exact
Read address and Read command captured from the
initiator during the initial Delayed Read request. If the
Read transaction is non-prefetchable, the PCI 6150
drives the captured Byte Enable bits during the next
cycle. If the transaction is a Prefetchable Read
transaction, the PCI 6150 drives the captured (first)
Byte Enable bits, followed by 0 for the subsequent
Data phases. If the PCI 6150 receives a Target Retry
in response to the Read transaction on the target bus,
it repeats the Read transaction until at least one Data
transfer completes or it encounters an error condition.
If the transaction is terminated by way of a normal
Master Termination or Target Disconnect after at least
one Data transfer is complete, the PCI 6150 does not
initiate further attempts to read additional data.
If the PCI 6150 is unable to obtain Read data from the
target after 224 attempts (default), the PCI 6150
ceases further read attempts and returns a Target
Abort to the initiator. The Delayed transaction is
removed from the Delayed Transaction queue. The
PCI 6150 also asserts P_SERR# if the Command
register P_SERR# Enable bit is set (PCICR[8]=1;
PCI:04h).
After receiving DEVSEL# and TRDY# from the target,
the PCI 6150 transfers the data stored in the internal
Read FIFO, then terminates the transaction. The
PCI 6150 can accept 1 Dword/Qword of Read data
during each PCI Clock cycle—no master wait states
are inserted. The number of Dwords/Qwords
transferred during a Delayed Read transaction
depends on the conditions delineated in Table 8-5
(assuming no Target Disconnect is received).
8.5.12 Delayed Read Completion
on Initiator Bus
When the Delayed Read transaction completes on the
target bus, the Delayed Read data is at the head of the
Read Data queue. When all ordering constraints with
Posted Write transactions are satisfied, the PCI 6150
transfers the data to the initiator when the initiator
repeats the transaction. For Memory Read
transactions, the PCI 6150 aliases the Memory Read,
Memory Read Line, and Memory Read Multiple bus
commands when matching the bus command of the
transaction to the bus command in the Delayed
Transaction queue. The PCI 6150 returns a Target
Disconnect along with the transfer of the last Dword of
Read data to the initiator. If the PCI 6150 initiator
terminates the transaction before all Read data is
transferred, the remaining Read data in the Data
buffers is discarded.
When the master repeats the transaction and starts
transferring prefetchable Read data from the Data
buffers while the Read transaction on the target bus is
in progress, and before a Read boundary is reached
on the target bus, the Read transaction starts
operating in Flow-Through mode. Because data is
flowing from the target to the initiator through the Data
buffers, long Read bursts can be sustained. In this
case, the Read transaction is allowed to continue until
the initiator terminates the transaction, an aligned
4-KB Address boundary is reached, or the buffer fills,
whichever occurs first. When the buffer empties, the
PCI 6150 reflects the stalled condition to the initiator
by de-asserting TRDY# for a maximum of eight clock
periods until more Read data is available; otherwise,
the PCI 6150 Disconnects the cycle. When the initiator
terminates the transaction, the PCI 6150 de-assertion
Section 8
PCI Bus Operation Data Phase
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11

of FRAME# on the initiator bus is forwarded to the
target bus. Any remaining Read data is discarded.
The PCI 6150 implements a Discard Timer that starts
counting when the Delayed Write completion is at the
head of the Delayed Transaction queue. The initial
value of this timer can be set to one of four values,
selectable through the primary and secondary Bridge
Control register Master Timeout bits (BCNTRL[8:9];
PCI:3Eh, respectively), as well as the Timeout Control
register Master Timeout Divider bits (TOCNTRL[7:4];
PCI:45h). If the Discard Timer expires before the Write
cycle is Retried, the PCI 6150 discards the Delayed
Write transaction from the Delayed Transaction
queue. The PCI 6150 also conditionally asserts
P_SERR#.
The PCI 6150 has the capability to post multiple
Delayed Read requests, up to a maximum of four in
both directions. If an initiator starts a Read transaction
that matches the Address and Read command of a
queued Read transaction, the current Read command
is not stored because it is contained in the Delayed
Transaction queue.
8.5.13 Configuration Transactions
Configuration transactions are used to initialize a PCI
system. Every PCI device has a Configuration space
that is accessed by Configuration commands. All
registers are accessible only in Configuration space.
In addition to accepting Configuration transactions for
initialization of its own Configuration space, the
PCI 6150 forwards Configuration transactions for
device initialization in hierarchical PCI Bus systems,
as well as Special Cycle generation.
To support hierarchical PCI Bus systems, Type 0 and
Type 1 Configuration transactions are specified.
Type 0 Configuration transactions are issued when the
intended target resides on the same PCI Bus as the
initiator. Type 0 Configuration transactions are
identified by the Configuration command and the
lowest two bits of the address are set to 00b.
Type 1 Configuration transactions are issued when the
intended target resides on another PCI Bus, or a
Special Cycle is to be generated on another PCI Bus.
Type 1 Configuration commands are identified by the
Configuration command and the lowest two Address
bits are set to 01b.
The Register Number is found in both Type 0 and
Type 1 formats and provides the Dword address of the
Configuration register to be accessed. The Function
Number is also included in both Type 0 and Type 1
formats, and indicates which function of a
multi-function device is to be accessed. For
single-function devices, this value is not decoded.
Type 1 Configuration transaction addresses also
include five bits, designating the Device Number that
identifies the target PCI Bus device to be accessed. In
addition, the Bus Number in Type 1 transactions
specifies the target PCI Bus.
8.5.14 PCI 6150 Type 0 Access
Configuration space is accessed by a Type 0
Configuration transaction on the primary interface.
Configuration space is not accessible from the
secondary bus. The PCI 6150 responds to a Type 0
Configuration transaction by asserting P_DEVSEL#
when the following conditions are met during the
Address phase:
• Bus command is a Configuration Read or Write
transaction.
• Lower two Address bits on P_AD[1:0] must be 01b.
• P_IDSEL must be asserted.
• PCI 6150 limits all Configuration accesses to a
single DWORD Data transfer and returns a Target
Disconnect with the first Data transfer if additional
Data phases are requested. Because Read
transactions to Configuration space do not have
side effects, all bytes in the requested Dword are
returned, regardless of the Byte Enable bit values.
• Type 0 Configuration Read and Write transactions
do not use data buffers (that is, these transactions
are immediately completed, regardless of the Data
buffers state).
The PCI 6150 ignores all Type 0 transactions initiated
on the secondary interface.

8—PCI Bus Operation
8.5.15 Type 1-to-Type 0 Translation
Type 1 Configuration transactions are specifically
used for device configuration in a hierarchical PCI Bus
system. A PCI-to-PCI bridge is the only type of device
that should respond to a Type 1 Configuration
command. Type 1 Configuration commands are used
when the Configuration access is intended for a PCI
device that resides on a PCI Bus other than the one
where the Type 1 transaction is generated.
The PCI 6150 performs a Type 1-to-Type 0 translation
when the Type 1 transaction is generated on the
primary bus and is intended for a device attached
directly to the secondary bus. The PCI 6150 must
convert the Configuration command to a Type 0
format, enabling the secondary bus device to respond
to the command. Type 1-to-Type 0 translations are
performed only in the downstream direction (that is,
the PCI 6150 generates a Type 0 transaction only on
the secondary bus, and never on the primary bus).
The PCI 6150 responds to a Type 1 Configuration
transaction and translates the transaction into a
Type 0 transaction on the secondary bus when the
following conditions are met during the Address
phase:
• Lower two Address bits on P_AD[1:0] are 01b
• Bus Number in address field P_AD[23:16] is equal
to the Secondary Bus Number register value
in Configuration space (PCISBNO; PCI:19h)
• Bus command on P_CBE[3:0]# is a Configuration
Read or Write transaction
When translating a Type 1 transaction to a Type 0
transaction on the secondary interface, the PCI 6150
performs the following translations to the address:
• Sets the lower two Address bits on S_AD[1:0] to
00b
• Decodes the Device Number and drives the bit
pattern specified in Table 8-6 on S_AD[31:16] for
the purpose of asserting the device’s IDSEL signal
• Sets S_AD[15:11] to 0h
• Leaves the Function and Register Number fields
unchanged
The PCI 6150 asserts unique address lines, based on
the Device Number. These address lines may be used
as secondary IDSEL signals. Address line mapping
depends on the Device Number in the Type 1 Address
bits, P_AD[15:11]. The PCI 6150 uses the mapping
presented in Table 8-6.
The PCI 6150 can assert up to 16 unique address
lines to be used as secondary IDSEL signals for up to
16 secondary bus devices, for Device Numbers
ranging from 0 to 15. Because of the PCI Bus
electrical loading constraints, more than 16 IDSEL
signals should not be necessary. However, if more
than 15 device numbers are needed, an external
method of generating IDSEL lines must be used, and
the upper Address bits are not asserted. The
Configuration transaction is translated and passed
from primary-to-secondary bus. If an IDSEL pin is not
asserted to a secondary device, the transaction
terminates in a Master Abort.
The PCI 6150 forwards Type 1-to-Type 0
Configuration Read or Write transactions as Delayed
transactions. Type 1-to-Type 0 Configuration Read or
Write transactions are limited to a single 32-bit Data
transfer. When Type 1-to-Type 0 Configuration cycles
are forwarded, Address Stepping is used, and a valid
address is driven on the bus before FRAME#
assertion. Type 0 Configuration Address Stepping is
programmable through the Miscellaneous Options
register Address Step Control bits (MSCOPT[6:4];
PCI:46h).

8—PCI Bus Operation
8.5.16 Type 1-to-Type 1 Forwarding
Type 1-to-Type 1 transaction forwarding provides a
hierarchical configuration mechanism when two or
more levels of PCI-to-PCI bridges are used.
When the PCI 6150 detects a Type 1 Configuration
transaction intended for a PCI Bus downstream from
the secondary bus, the PCI 6150 forwards the
transaction unchanged to the secondary bus.
Ultimately, this transaction is translated to a Type 0
Configuration command or to a Special Cycle
transaction by a downstream PCI-to-PCI bridge.
Downstream Type 1-to-Type 1 forwarding occurs
when the following conditions are met during the
Address phase:
• Lower two Address bits on AD[1:0] are equal to 01b
• Bus Number falls in the range defined by the lower
limit (exclusive) in the Secondary Bus Number
register (PCISBNO; PCI:19h) and upper limit
(inclusive) in the Subordinate Bus Number register
(PCISUBNO; PCI:1Ah)
• Bus command is a Configuration Read or Write
transaction
The PCI 6150 also supports Type 1-to-Type 1
upstream Configuration Write transaction forwarding
to support upstream Special Cycle generation. A
Type 1 Configuration command is forwarded upstream
when the following conditions are met:
• Lower two Address bits on AD[1:0] are equal to 01b
• Bus Number falls outside the range defined by the
lower limit (inclusive) in the Secondary Bus Number
register (PCISBNO; PCI:19h) and upper limit
(inclusive) in the Subordinate Bus Number register
(PCISUBNO; PCI:1Ah)
• Device Number in Address bits AD[15:11] is equal
to 11111b
• Function Number in Address bits AD[10:8] is equal
to 111b
• Bus command is a Configuration Write transaction
• PCI 6150 forwards Type 1-to-Type 1 Configuration
Write transactions as Delayed transactions, limited
to a single Data transfer
8.5.17 Special Cycles
The Type 1 configuration mechanism is used to
generate Special Cycle transactions in hierarchical
PCI systems. Special Cycle transactions are ignored
by operating as a target and are not forwarded across
the bridge. Special Cycle transactions can be
generated from Type 1 Configuration Write
transactions in the downstream or upstream direction.
The PCI 6150 initiates a Special Cycle on the target
bus when a Type 1 Configuration Write transaction is
detected on the initiating bus and the following
conditions are met during the Address phase:
• Lower two Address bits on AD[1:0] are equal to 01b
• Device Number in Address bits AD[15:11] is equal
to 11111b
• Function Number in Address bits AD[10:8] is equal
to 111b
• Register number in Address bits AD[7:2] is equal
to 0h
• Bus Number is equal to the Secondary Bus Number
register value in Configuration space (PCISBNO;
PCI:19h) for downstream forwarding, or equal to
the Primary Bus Number register value in
Configuration space (PCIPBNO; PCI:18h) for
upstream forwarding
• Bus command on the initiator CBE bus is a
Configuration Write command
When the PCI 6150 initiates a transaction on the
target interface, the bus command is changed from
Configuration Write to Special Cycle. The address and
data are forwarded, unchanged. Devices that use
Special Cycle ignore the address and decode only the
bus command. The Data phase contains the Special
Cycle message. The transaction is forwarded as a
Delayed transaction because Special Cycles complete
as Master Aborts. After the transaction is completed
on the target bus, through Master Abort condition
detection, the PCI 6150 responds with TRDY# to the
next attempt of the Configuration transaction from the
initiator. If more than one Data transfer is requested,
the PCI 6150 responds with a Target Disconnect
operation during the first Data phase.
Section 8

8.6 TRANSACTION TERMINATION
This subsection describes how the PCI 6150 returns
transaction termination conditions to the initiator.
The initiator can terminate transactions with one of the
following types of termination:
•Normal Termination—Occurs when the initiator
de-asserts FRAME# at the beginning of the last
Data phase, and de-asserts IRDY# at the end of the
last Data phase in conjunction with TRDY# or
STOP# assertion from the target.
•Master Abort—Occurs when no target response
is detected. When the initiator does not detect the
DEVSEL# signal from the target within five Clock
cycles after asserting FRAME#, the initiator
terminates the transaction with a Master Abort.
If FRAME# is asserted, the initiator de-asserts
FRAME# on the next cycle, then de-asserts IRDY#
on the following cycle. IRDY# must be asserted in
the same cycle in which FRAME# is de-asserted.
If FRAME# was de-asserted, IRDY# can be
de-asserted on the next Clock cycle following
Master Abort condition detection.
The target can terminate transactions with one of the
following types of termination:
•Normal Termination—TRDY# and DEVSEL# are
asserted in conjunction with FRAME# de-assertion
and IRDY# assertion.
•Target Retry—STOP# and DEVSEL# are asserted
without TRDY# during the first Data phase. No data
transfers during the transaction. This transaction
must be repeated.
•Target Disconnect (with Data transfer)—
DEVSEL# and STOP# are asserted with TRDY#.
Indicates that this is the last Data transfer of the
transaction.
•Target Disconnect (without Data transfer)—
STOP# and DEVSEL# are asserted without TRDY#
after previous Data transfers. Indicates that no
further Data transfers are made during this
transaction.
•Target Abort—STOP# is asserted without
DEVSEL# and TRDY#. Indicates that the target is
never able to complete this transaction. DEVSEL#
must be asserted for at least one cycle during the
transaction before the Target Abort is signaled.
8.6.1 PCI 6150-Initiated Master
Termination
As an initiator, the PCI 6150 uses normal termination if
DEVSEL# is returned by the target within five Clock
cycles of PCI 6150 FRAME# assertion on the target
bus. In this case, the PCI 6150 terminates a
transaction when the following conditions are met:
• During Delayed Write transactions, a single Dword/
Qword is delivered.
• During Non-Prefetchable Read transactions, a
single Dword/Qword is transferred from the target.
• During Prefetchable Read transactions, a Prefetch
boundary is reached.
• For Posted Write transactions, all Write data for the
transaction is transferred from Data buffers to the
target.
• For Burst transfers (except Memory Write and
Invalidate transactions), the Master Latency Timer
expires and the PCI 6150 bus grant is de-asserted.
• Target terminates the transaction with a Retry,
Disconnect, or Target Abort.
• If the PCI 6150 is delivering Posted Write data
when it terminates the transaction because the
Master Latency Timer expired, the PCI 6150
initiates another transaction to deliver the remaining
Write data. The transaction address is updated to
reflect the address of the current Dword to be
delivered.
If the PCI 6150 is delivering Posted Write data when it
terminates the transaction because the Master
Latency Timer expires, the PCI 6150 initiates another
transaction to deliver the remaining Write data. The
Transaction address is updated to reflect the current
DWORD address to be delivered.
If the PCI 6150 is prefetching Read data when it
terminates the transaction because the Master
Latency Timer expired, the PCI 6150 does not repeat
the transaction to obtain additional data.

8—PCI Bus Operation
8.6.2 Master Abort Received
by PCI 6150
If the initiator initiates a transaction on the target bus
and does not detect DEVSEL# returned by the target
within five Clock cycles of FRAME# assertion, the
PCI 6150 terminates the transaction, as specified in
the Bridge Control register Master Abort Mode bit
(BCNTRL[5]; PCI:3Eh).
For Delayed Read and Write transactions, the
PCI 6150 can assert TRDY# and return FFFF_FFFFh
for reads, or return a Target Abort. SERR# is also
optionally asserted.
When a Master Abort is received in response to a
Posted Write transaction, the PCI 6150 discards the
Posted Write data and makes no further attempts to
deliver the data. The PCI 6150 sets the Status register
Received Master Abort bit when the Master Abort is
received on the primary bus (PCISR[13]=1; PCI:06h),
or the Secondary Status register Received Master
Abort bit when the Master Abort is received on the
secondary interface (PCISSR[13]=1; PCI:1Eh).
When the Master Abort Mode bit is set and a Master
Abort is detected in response to a Posted Write
transaction, the PCI 6150 also asserts P_SERR#,
if enabled (PCICR[8]=1; PCI:04h), but not disabled by
the device-specific P_SERR# disable for Master
Aborts that occur during Posted Write transactions.
(Refer to Table 8-7.)
8.6.3 Target Termination
Received by PCI 6150
When the PCI 6150 initiates a transaction on the
target bus and the target responds with DEVSEL#, the
target can end the transaction with one of the following
types of termination:
• Normal termination (upon FRAME# de-assertion)
• Target Retry
• Target Disconnect
• Target Abort
The PCI 6150 controls these terminations using
various methods, depending on the type of transaction
performed.

8.6.3.1 Posted Write Target
Termination Response
When the PCI 6150 initiates a Posted Write
transaction, the Target Termination cannot be
returned to the initiator. Table 8-8 delineates the
response to each type of Target Termination that
occurs during a Posted Write transaction.
When a Target Retry or Disconnect is returned and
Posted Write data associated with that transaction
remains in the Write buffers, the PCI 6150 initiates
another Write transaction to attempt to deliver the
remaining Write data. In the case of a Target Retry,
the same address is driven as for the initial Write
transaction attempt. If a Target Disconnect is received,
the address that is driven on a subsequent Write
transaction attempt is updated to reflect the current
Dword address. If the initial Write transaction is a
Memory Write and Invalidate transaction, and a partial
delivery of Write data to the target is performed before
a Target Disconnect is received, the PCI 6150 uses
the Memory Write command to deliver the remaining
Write data because less than a cache line is
transferred in the subsequent Write transaction
attempt.
After the PCI 6150 makes 224 write attempts and fails
to deliver all Posted Write data associated with that
transaction, the PCI 6150 asserts P_SERR#, if
enabled in the Command register, and the
device-specific P_SERR# Disable bit for this condition
is not set. (Refer to Table 8-9.) The Write data is
discarded.

8.6.3.2 Delayed Write Target
Termination Response
When the PCI 6150 initiates a Delayed Write
transaction, the type of Target Termination received
from the target can be returned to the initiator.
Table 8-10 delineates the response to each type of
Target Termination that occurs during a Delayed Write
transaction. The PCI 6150 repeats a Delayed Write
transaction until the PCI 6150:
• Completes at least one Data transfer
• Receives a Master Abort
• Receives a Target Abort
The PCI 6150 makes 224 write attempts (default),
resulting in a response of Target Retry. After the
PCI 6150 makes 224 attempts of the same Delayed
Write transaction on the target bus, the PCI 6150
asserts P_SERR# if the Command register P_SERR#
Enable bit is set and the implementation-specific
P_SERR# Disable bit for this condition is not set.
(Refer to Table 8-11.) The PCI 6150 stops initiating
transactions in response to that Delayed Write
transaction and the Delayed Write request is
discarded. Upon a subsequent Write transaction
attempt by the initiator, the PCI 6150 returns a Target
Abort.

8.6.3.3 Delayed Read Target
Termination Response
When the PCI 6150 initiates a Delayed Read
transaction, the abnormal target responses can be
returned to the initiator. Other target responses
depend on the amount of data the initiator requests.
Table 8-12 delineates the response to each type of
Target Termination that occurs during a Delayed Read
transaction.
The PCI 6150 repeats a Delayed Read transaction
until the PCI 6150:
• Completes at least one Data transfer
• Receives a Master Abort
• Receives a Target Abort
• Produces 224 read attempts, resulting in a response
of Target Retry
After the PCI 6150 produces 224 attempts of the same
Delayed Read transaction on the target bus, the
PCI 6150 asserts P_SERR# if the Command register
P_SERR# Enable bit is set and the implementation-
specific P_SERR# Disable bit for this condition is not
set. (Refer to Table 8-13.) The PCI 6150 stops
initiating transactions in response to that Delayed
Read transaction, and the Delayed Read request
is discarded. Upon a subsequent Read transaction
attempt by the initiator, the PCI 6150 returns a
Target Abort.

8.6.4 PCI 6150-Initiated Target
Termination
The PCI 6150 can return a Target Retry, Disconnect,
or Abort to an initiator for reasons other than detection
of that condition at the target interface.
8.6.4.1 Target Retry
When it cannot accept Write data or return Read data
as a result of internal conditions, the PCI 6150 returns
a Target Retry to the initiator when any of the following
conditions are met:
• Delayed Write Transactions
• Transaction is in the process of entering the
Delayed Transaction queue.
• Transaction has entered the Delayed
Transaction queue, but target response has not
been received.
• Target response was received, but the Posted
Memory Write Ordering rule prevents the cycle
from completing.
• Delayed Transaction queue is full; therefore,
transaction cannot be queued.
• Transaction with the same address and
command was queued.
• Locked sequence is being propagated across
the PCI 6150, and the Write transaction is not
a Locked transaction.
• Target bus is locked and the Write transaction
is a Locked transaction.
• Delayed Read Transactions
• Transaction is in the process of entering the
Delayed Transaction queue.
• Read request was queued, but Read data is not
yet available.
• Data was read from the target, but the data
is not at the head of the Read Data queue,
or a Posted Write transaction precedes it.
• Delayed Transaction queue is full, and the
transaction cannot be queued.
• Delayed Read request with the same address
and bus command was queued.
• Locked sequence is being propagated across
the PCI 6150, and the Read transaction is not
a Locked transaction.
• Target bus is locked and the Read transaction
is a Locked transaction.
• Posted Write Transactions
• Posted Write Data buffer does not contain
sufficient space for the address and at least
two Qwords of Write data.
• Locked sequence is being propagated across
the PCI 6150, and the Write transaction is not
a Locked transaction.
When a Target Retry is returned to a Delayed
transaction initiator, the initiator must repeat the
transaction with the same address and bus command,
as well as the data if this is a Write transaction, within
the time frame specified by the Master Timeout value;
otherwise, the transaction is discarded from the
buffers.

8.6.4.2 Target Disconnect
The PCI 6150 returns a Target Disconnect to an
initiator when the PCI 6150:
• Reaches an internal Address boundary
• Reaches a 4-KB boundary for a Posted Memory
Write cycle
• Cannot accept further Write data
• Contains no further Read data to deliver
8.6.4.3 Target Abort
The PCI 6150 returns a Target Abort to an initiator
when the PCI 6150:
• Returns a Target Abort from the intended target
• Detects a Master Abort on the target, and the
Master Abort Mode bit is set (BCNTRL[5]=1;
PCI:3Eh)
• Cannot obtain Delayed Read data from the target
nor deliver Delayed Write data to the target after
224 attempts
When returning a Target Abort to the initiator, the
PCI 6150 sets the Status register Signaled Target
Abort bit corresponding to the initiator interface
(PCISR[12 or 11]=1; PCI:06h).

9—Address Decoding
9 ADDRESS DECODING
This section describes address decoding, including
Address ranges, Memory address decoding, ISA
mode, and VGA addressing support.
9.1 OVERVIEW
The PCI 6150 uses three Address ranges to control
I/O and Memory Transaction forwarding across the
bridge. These address ranges are defined by Base
and Limit Address registers in Configuration space.
9.2 ADDRESS RANGES
The PCI 6150 uses the following Address ranges to
determine which I/O and Memory transactions are
forwarded from the primary-to-secondary PCI Bus,
and from the secondary-to-primary PCI Bus:
• One 32-Bit I/O Address range
• One 32-Bit Memory-Mapped I/O (non-prefetchable
memory) range
• One 64-Bit Prefetchable Memory Address range
Transaction addresses falling within these ranges are
forwarded downstream from the primary-to-secondary
PCI Bus. Transaction addresses falling outside these
ranges are forwarded upstream from the secondary-
to-primary PCI Bus.
The PCI 6150 uses flat Address space (that is, it does
not perform address translation). The Address space
has no gaps; therefore, addresses that are not marked
for downstream forwarding are always forwarded
upstream.
9.2.1 I/O Address Decoding
The PCI 6150 uses the following mechanisms, defined
in Configuration space, to specify the I/O Address
space for downstream and upstream forwarding:
• I/O Base and Limit Address registers (Base—
PCIIOBAR; PCI:1Ch and PCIIOBARU16; PCI:30h,
Limit—PCIIOLMT; PCI:1Dh and PCIIOLMTU16;
PCI:32h)
• ISA Enable bit (BCNTRL[2]; PCI:3Eh)
• VGA Enable bit (BCNTRL[3]; PCI:3Eh)
• VGA Palette Snoop Enable bit (PCICR[5]; PCI:04h)
To enable downstream I/O transaction forwarding, the
Command register I/O Space Enable bit must be set
(PCICR[0]=1; PCI:04h). If the I/O Space Enable bit is
not set, I/O transactions initiated on the primary bus
are ignored. To enable upstream I/O transaction
forwarding, the Command register Master Enable bit
must be set (PCICR[2]=1; PCI:04h). If the Master
Enable bit is not set, the PCI 6150 ignores I/O and
Memory transactions initiated on the secondary bus.
Setting the Master Enable bit also allows upstream
Memory transaction forwarding.
Caution: If any configuration state affecting I/O
transaction forwarding is changed by a Configuration
Write operation on the primary bus when there are
ongoing I/O transactions on the secondary bus,
the PCI 6150 response to the secondary bus I/O
transactions is unpredictable. Configure the I/O Base
and Limit Address registers, and ISA Enable, VGA
Enable, and VGA Palette Snoop Enable bits before
setting the I/O Space Enable and Master Enable bits,
and subsequently change these registers only when
the primary and secondary PCI Buses are idle.
9.2.1.1 I/O Base and Limit
Address Registers
The PCI 6150 implements one set of I/O Base and
Limit Address registers in Configuration space that
define an I/O Address range for downstream
forwarding. The PCI 6150 supports 32-bit I/O
addressing, which allows I/O addresses downstream
from the PCI 6150 to be mapped anywhere in a 4-GB
I/O Address space.
I/O transactions with addresses that fall inside the I/O
Base and Limit register-defined range are forwarded
downstream from the primary-to-secondary PCI Bus.
I/O transactions with addresses that fall outside this
range are forwarded upstream from the secondary-to-
primary PCI Bus. The I/O range can be disabled by
setting the I/O Base address to a value greater than
that of the I/O Limit address. When the I/O range is
disabled, all I/O transactions are forwarded upstream
(no I/O transactions are forwarded downstream).
The I/O range has a minimum granularity of 4 KB and
is aligned on a 4-KB boundary. The maximum I/O
range is 4 GB.
Section 9
Address Decoding Memory Address Decoding
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
9-2 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
The I/O Base register consists of an 8-bit field
(PCIIOBAR; PCI:1Ch) and a 16-bit field
(PCIIOBARU16; PCI:30h). The upper four bits of the
8-bit field define bits [15:12] of the I/O Base address.
The lower four Read-Only bits are hardcoded to 0001b
to indicate 32-bit I/O addressing support. Bits [11:0] of
the Base address are assumed to be 0h, which
naturally aligns the Base address to a 4-KB boundary
with a minimum granularity of 4 KB. The 16 bits
contained in the I/O Base Upper 16 Bits register
(PCIIOBARU16; PCI:30h) define AD[31:16] of the I/O
Base address. All 16 bits are read/write. After a
primary bus or chip reset, the I/O Base address value
is initialized to 0000_0001h.
The I/O Limit register consists of an 8-bit field
(PCIIOLMT; PCI:1Dh) and a 16-bit field
(PCIIOLMTU16; PCI:32h). The upper four bits of the
8-bit field define bits [15:12] of the I/O Limit address.
The lower four Read-Only bits are hardcoded to 0001b
to indicate 32-bit I/O addressing support. Bits [11:0] of
the Limit address are assumed to be FFFh,
which naturally aligns the Limit address to the top of
a 4-KB I/O Address block. The 16 bits contained in the
I/O Limit Upper 16 Bits register (PCIIOLMTU16;
PCI:32h) define AD[31:16] of the I/O Limit
address. All 16 bits are read/write. After a primary bus
or chip reset, the I/O Limit address value is reset to
0000_ 0FFFh.
Note: The initial states of the I/O Base and Limit registers
(PCIIOBAR; PCI:1Ch and PCIIOLMT; PCI:1Dh, respectively)
define an I/O range of 0000_0000h to 0000_0FFFh, which is
the lower 4 KB of I/O space. Write these registers with their
appropriate values before setting the Command register
Master or I/O Space Enable bit (PCICR[2 or 0]=1; PCI:04h).
9.3 MEMORY ADDRESS DECODING
The PCI 6150 has three mechanisms for defining
Memory Address ranges for Memory transaction
forwarding:
• Memory-Mapped I/O Base and Limit Address
registers (PCIMBAR; PCI:20h and PCIMLMT;
PCI:22h, respectively)
• Prefetchable Memory Base and Limit Address
registers (Base—PCIPMBAR; PCI:24h and
PCIPMBARU32; PCI:28h, Limit—PCIPMLMT;
PCI:26h and PCIPMLMTU32; PCI:2Ch)
• VGA mode (BCNTRL[3]=1; PCI:3Eh)
This subsection describes the first two mechanisms.
VGA mode is described in Section 9.5.1.
To enable downstream Memory transaction
forwarding, the Command register Memory Space
Enable bit must be set (PCICR[1]=1; PCI:04h). To
enable upstream Memory transaction forwarding, the
Command register Master Enable bit must be set
(PCICR[2]=1; PCI:04h). Setting the Master Enable bit
also enables upstream I/O transaction forwarding.
Caution: If any configuration state affecting Memory
transaction forwarding is changed by a Configuration
Write operation on the primary bus when there are
ongoing memory transactions on the secondary bus,
response to the secondary bus Memory transactions is
unpredictable. Configure the Memory-Mapped I/O Base
and Limit Address registers, Prefetchable Memory Base
and Limit Address registers, and VGA Enable bit before
setting the Memory Space Enable and Master Enable
bits, and subsequently change these registers only
when the primary and secondary PCI Buses are idle.
9.3.1 Memory-Mapped I/O Base
and Limit Address Registers
Memory-mapped I/O is also referred to as
Non-Prefetchable memory. Memory addresses that
cannot be automatically prefetched, but can
conditionally prefetch based on command type, should
be mapped into this space. Read transactions to
Non-Prefetchable space may exhibit side effects—
may exhibit non-memory-like behavior. The PCI 6150
prefetches in this space only if the Memory Read line
or Memory Read Multiple commands are used.
Transactions using the Memory Read command are
limited to a single data transfer.
The Memory-Mapped I/O Base and Limit Address
registers define an Address range that the PCI 6150
uses to determine when to forward Memory
commands. The PCI 6150 forwards a Memory
transaction from the primary-to-secondary interface if
the Transaction address falls within the Memory-
Mapped I/O Address range. The PCI 6150 ignores
Memory transactions initiated on the secondary
interface that fall into this Address range. Transactions
that fall outside this Address range are ignored on the
primary interface and forwarded upstream from the
secondary interface (provided that the transactions do
not fall into the Prefetchable Memory range, or are not
forwarded downstream by the VGA mechanism).
Section 9
Memory Address Decoding Address Decoding
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
© 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 9-3
9—Address Decoding
The Memory-Mapped I/O Address range supports only
32-bit addressing. P-to-P Bridge r1.1 does not provide
for 64-bit addressing in the Memory-Mapped I/O
space. The Memory-Mapped I/O Address range has a
granularity and alignment of 1 MB and a maximum
range of 4 GB.
The Memory-Mapped I/O Address range is defined by
a 16-bit Memory-Mapped I/O Base Address register
(BAR) and a 16-bit Memory-Mapped I/O Limit Address
register (PCIMBAR; PCI:20h and PCIMLMT; PCI:22h,
respectively). The upper 12 bits of each of these
registers correspond to bits [31:20] of the Memory
address. The lower four bits are hardcoded to 0h. The
lower 20 bits of the Memory-Mapped I/O Base address
are assumed to be 0h, which results in a natural
alignment to a 1-MB boundary. The lower 20 bits of
the Memory-Mapped I/O Limit address are assumed
to be F_FFFFh, which results in an alignment to the
top of a 1-MB block.
Note: The initial state of the Memory-Mapped I/O Base Address
register (PCIMBAR; PCI:20h) is 0000_0000h. The initial state of the
Memory-Mapped I/O Limit Address register (PCIMLMT; PCI:22h) is
000F_FFFFh. The initial states of these registers define a Memory-
Mapped I/O range at the lower 1-MB Memory block. Write these
registers with their appropriate values before setting the Command
register Master or Memory Space Enable bit (PCICR[2 or 1]=1;
PCI:04h).
To disable the Memory-Mapped I/O Address range,
write the Memory-Mapped I/O Base Address register
with a value greater than that of the Memory-Mapped
I/O Limit Address register.
9.3.1.1 Prefetchable Memory Base
and Limit Address Registers
Locations accessed in the Prefetchable Memory
Address range must have true memory-like behavior
and not exhibit side effects when read (that is, extra
reads to a prefetchable memory location must not
have side effects). The PCI 6150 prefetches for all
types of Memory Read commands in this Address
space.
The PCI 6150 Prefetchable Memory Base and Limit
Address registers define an Address range that the
PCI 6150 uses to determine when to forward Memory
transactions. The PCI 6150 forwards a Memory
transaction from the primary-to-secondary interface, if
the Transaction address falls within the Prefetchable
Memory Address range. The PCI 6150 ignores
Memory transactions initiated on the secondary
interface that fall into this address range. The
PCI 6150 does not respond to transactions that fall
outside this address range on the primary interface
and forwards those transactions upstream from the
secondary interface (provided that the transactions do
not fall into the Memory-Mapped I/O Address range, or
are not forwarded by the VGA mechanism).
The PCI 6150 Prefetchable Memory range supports
64-bit addressing and provides additional registers to
define the upper 32 bits of the Prefetchable Memory
Base and Limit addresses. For address comparison, a
Single Address Cycle (SAC; 32-bit address)
Prefetchable Memory transaction is treated as a 64-bit
Address transaction, where the upper 32 bits of the
address are equal to 0h. This upper 32-bit value of 0h
is compared to the Prefetchable Memory Base and
Limit Address Upper 32 Bits registers. The
Prefetchable Memory Base Address Upper 32 Bits
register must be 0h to pass SAC transactions
downstream.
The Prefetchable Memory Address range is defined by
a 16-bit Prefetchable Memory Base Address register
and a 16-bit Prefetchable Memory Limit Address
register (PCIPMBAR; PCI:24h and PCIPMLMT;
PCI:26h, respectively). The upper 12 bits of each of
these registers correspond to bits [31:20] of the
Memory address. The lower four Read-Only bits are
hardcoded to 1h, indicating 64-bit address support.
The lower 20 bits of the Prefetchable Memory Base
address are assumed to be 0h, which results in a
natural alignment to a 1-MB boundary. The lower
20 bits of the Prefetchable Memory Limit address are
assumed to be F_FFFFh, which results in an
alignment to the top of a 1-MB block. The maximum
Memory Address range is 4 GB for 32-bit addressing,
and 264 bytes for 64-bit addressing.
Note: Write the PCIPMBAR and PCIPMLMT registers with their
appropriate values before setting the Command register Memory
Space Enable or Master Enable bit.
To disable the Prefetchable Memory Address range,
write the Prefetchable Memory Base Address register
with a value greater than that of the Prefetchable
Memory Limit Address register. The entire Base
register value must be greater than the entire Limit
register value (that is, the upper 32 bits must be
considered). Therefore, to disable the Address range,
the Upper 32 Bits registers can both be set to the
Section 9
Address Decoding ISA Mode

same value, while the lower Base register is set to a
value greater than that of the lower Limit register;
otherwise, the Upper 32-bit Base register must be
greater than the Upper 32-bit Limit register.
9.4 ISA MODE
The PCI 6150 supports ISA mode by providing the
Bridge Control register ISA Enable bit in Configuration
space (BCNTRL[2]=1; PCI:3Eh). ISA mode modifies
the PCI 6150 response inside the I/O Address range
to support I/O space mapping in the presence of an
ISA Bus in the system. This bit only affects the
PCI 6150 response when the following conditions are
met:
• Transaction falls inside the Address range defined
by the I/O Base and Limit Address registers, and
• Address also falls inside the first 64 KB of I/O space
(Address bits [31:16]=0h)
When the ISA Enable bit is set, the PCI 6150 does not
forward downstream I/O transactions that address the
upper 768 bytes of each aligned 1-KB block. Only
those transactions addressing the lower 256 bytes of
an aligned 1-KB block inside the Base and Limit I/O
Address range are forwarded downstream.
Transactions above the 64-KB I/O Address boundary
are forwarded, as defined by the I/O Base and Limit
register Address range.
Additionally, if the ISA Enable bit is set, the PCI 6150
forwards upstream those I/O transactions that address
the upper 768 bytes of each aligned 1-KB block within
the first 64 KB of I/O space. The Command
Configuration register Master Enable bit must also be
set (PCICR[2]=1; PCI:04h) to enable upstream
forwarding. All other I/O transactions initiated on the
secondary bus are forwarded upstream if the
transactions fall outside the I/O Address range.
When the ISA Enable bit is set, devices downstream
of the PCI 6150 can have I/O space mapped into the
first 256 bytes of each 1-KB segment below the 64-KB
boundary, or anywhere in I/O space above the 64-KB
boundary.
9.5 VGA SUPPORT
The PCI 6150 provides two modes for VGA support:
• VGA mode, supporting VGA-compatible addressing
• VGA Snoop mode, supporting VGA palette
forwarding
9.5.1 VGA Mode
When a VGA-compatible device exists downstream
from the PCI 6150, enable VGA mode by setting the
Bridge Control register VGA Enable bit
(BCNTRL[3]=1; PCI:3Eh). When operating in VGA
mode, the PCI 6150 forwards downstream those
transactions that address the VGA Frame Buffer
Memory and VGA I/O registers, regardless of the I/O
Base and Limit Address register values. The PCI 6150
ignores transactions initiated on the secondary
interface addressing these locations.
The VGA Frame buffer resides in the Memory Address
range—000A_0000h to 000B_FFFFh.
Read transactions to Frame Buffer memory are
treated as non-prefetchable. The PCI 6150 requests
only a single Data transfer from the target, and Read
Byte Enable bits are forwarded to the target bus.
The VGA I/O addresses consist of I/O addresses 3B0h
to 3BBh and 3C0h to 3DFh.
These I/O addresses are aliased every 1 KB
throughout the first 64 KB of I/O space [that is,
Address bits [15:10] are not decoded and can be any
value, while Address bits [31:16] must be all zeros (0)].
VGA BIOS addresses starting at C_0000h are not
decoded in VGA mode.
Section 9
VGA Support Address Decoding

9—Address Decoding
9.5.2 VGA Snoop Mode
The PCI 6150 provides VGA Snoop mode, allowing for
VGA Palette Write transactions to be forwarded
downstream. This mode is used when a graphics
device downstream from the PCI 6150 must snoop or
respond to VGA Palette Write transactions. To enable
the mode, set the Command register VGA Palette
Snoop Enable bit (PCICR[5]=1; PCI:04h). The
PCI 6150 claims VGA Palette Write transactions by
asserting DEVSEL# in VGA Snoop mode.
When the VGA Palette Snoop Enable bit is set, the
PCI 6150 forwards downstream transactions with I/O
addresses 3C6h, 3C8h, and 3C9h.
These addresses are also forwarded as part of the
previously described VGA Compatibility mode. Again,
Address bits [15:10] are not decoded, while Address
bits [31:16] must be equal to 0h (that is, these
addresses are aliased every 1 KB throughout the first
64 KB of I/O space).
Note: If BCNTRL[3]=1; PCI:3Eh (VGA Enable bit), then VGA
Palette accesses are forwarded, regardless of the PCICR[5];
PCI:04h value.

10—Transaction Ordering
10 TRANSACTION ORDERING
This section describes the ordering rules that control
PCI transaction forwarding across the PCI 6150. To
maintain data coherency and consistency, the
PCI 6150 complies with PCI r2.3 ordering rules. For a
detailed discussion of transaction ordering, refer to
PCI r2.3, Appendix E.
10.1 TRANSACTIONS GOVERNED
BY ORDERING RULES
Ordering relationships are established for the following
transaction classes that cross the PCI 6150:
•Posted Write Transactions (Comprised of
Memory Write, and Memory Write and
Invalidate, Transactions)—Completed at the
source before completing at the destination (that is,
data is written into intermediate Data buffers before
reaching the target).
•Delayed Write Request Transactions
(Comprised of I/O Write and Configuration Write
Transactions)—Terminated by Target Retry
on the initiator bus and queued in the Delayed
Transaction queue. A Delayed Write transaction
must complete on the target bus before completing
on the initiator bus.
•Delayed Write Completion Transactions
(Comprised of I/O Write and Configuration Write
Transactions)—Completed on the target bus,
with the target response queued in the buffers.
A Delayed Write Completion transaction proceeds
in the direction opposite to that of the original
Delayed Write request (that is, the transaction
proceeds from target-to-initiator bus).
•Delayed Read Request Transactions
(Comprised of all Memory Read, I/O Read, and
Configuration Read Transactions)—Terminated
by Target Retry on the initiator bus and queued in
the Delayed Transaction queue.
•Delayed Read Completion Transactions
(Comprised of all Memory Read, I/O Read, and
Configuration Read Transactions)—Completed
on the target bus, and the Read data was queued in
the Read Data buffers. A Delayed Read Completion
transaction proceeds in the direction opposite that
of the original Delayed Read request (that is, the
transaction proceeds from target-to-initiator bus).
The PCI 6150 does not combine, merge, nor collapse
Write transactions:
•Combine separate Write transactions into a
single Write transaction—This optimization is
best implemented in the originating master.
•Merge bytes on separate Masked Write
transactions to the same Dword address—
This optimization is also best implemented in the
originating master.
•Collapse sequential Write transactions to the
same address into a single Write transaction—
PCI r2.3 does not allow collapsing of transactions.
10.2 GENERAL ORDERING
GUIDELINES
PCI-independent transactions on the primary and
secondary buses have a relationship only when those
transactions cross the PCI 6150.
The following general ordering guidelines govern
transactions crossing the PCI 6150:
• Ordering relationship of a transaction, with respect
to other transactions, is determined when the
transaction completes (that is, when a transaction
ends with a Termination other than Target Retry).
• Requests terminated with a Target Retry can be
accepted and completed in any order with respect
to other transactions terminated with a Target
Retry. If the order of completion of Delayed
requests is important, the initiator should not start
a second Delayed transaction until the first one
completes. If more than one Delayed transaction is
initiated, the initiator should repeat all the Delayed
transaction requests, using a fairness algorithm.
Repeating a Delayed transaction cannot be
contingent upon completion of another Delayed
transaction; otherwise, deadlock may occur.
• Write transactions flowing in one direction have
no ordering requirements with respect to Write
transactions flowing in the other direction. The
PCI 6150 can simultaneously accept Posted
Write transactions on both interfaces, as well as
simultaneously initiate Posted Write transactions
on both interfaces.
Section 10
Transaction Ordering Ordering Rules
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
10-2 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
• Acceptance of a Posted Memory Write transaction
as a target can never be contingent on the
completion of an Unlocked, Unposted transaction
as a master. This is true of the PCI 6150 and must
also be true of other bus agents; otherwise,
deadlock may occur.
• PCI 6150 accepts Posted Write transactions,
regardless of the state of completion of Delayed
transactions being forwarded across the PCI 6150.
10.3 ORDERING RULES
The following ordering rules describe the transaction
relationships. Each ordering rule is followed by an
explanation, and the ordering rules are referred to by
number in Table 10-1. These ordering rules apply to
Posted Write transactions, Delayed Write and Read
requests, and Delayed Write and Read Completion
transactions crossing the PCI 6150 in the same
direction. Note that Delayed Completion transactions
cross the PCI 6150 in the direction opposite that of the
corresponding Delayed requests.
1. Posted Write—Posted Write transactions must
complete on the target bus in the order in which the
transactions were received on the initiator bus.
The subsequent Posted Write transaction could be
setting a flag that covers the data in the first Posted
Write transaction. If the second transaction were
to complete before the first transaction, devices
checking that flag could subsequently be using
stale data.
2. Delayed Write Request—Delayed Write requests
cannot pass previously queued Posted Write
data. As in the case of Posted Memory Write
transactions, the Delayed Write transaction might
be setting a flag regarding data in the Posted
Write transaction. If the Delayed Write request
were to complete before the earlier Posted Write
transaction, devices checking the flag could
subsequently be using stale data.
3. Delayed Read Request—Delayed Read requests
traveling in the same direction as previously
queued Posted Write transactions must push the
Posted Write data ahead of it. The Posted Write
transaction must complete on the target bus before
the Delayed Read request can be attempted on the
target bus.
The Read transaction might be in the same location
as the Write data; therefore, if the Read transaction
were to pass the Write transaction, the read would
return stale data.
4. Delayed Write Completion—Posted Write
transactions must be provided opportunities to pass
Delayed Read and Write requests and completions.
Otherwise, deadlock may occur when bridges that
support Delayed transactions are used in the same
system with bridges that do not support Delayed
transactions. A fairness algorithm is used to
arbitrate between the Posted Write and Delayed
Transaction queues.
The PCI 6150 can return Delayed Read
transactions in a different order than requested
if the DRT Out-of-Order Enable bit is set to 1
(MSCOPT[2]=1; PCI:46h). Requested cycles can
execute out of order across the bridge, if all other
ordering rules are satisfied. Therefore, if the
PCI 6150 starts a Delayed transaction that is
Retried by the target, the PCI 6150 can execute
another transaction in the Delayed Transaction
Request queue. Also, if there are Delayed Write
and Read requests in the queue, and the Read
Data FIFOs are full, the PCI 6150 may execute the
Delayed Write request before the Delayed Read
request.
5. Delayed Read Completion—Delayed Read
completions must “pull” ahead of previously queued
Posted Write data traveling in the same direction.
In this case, the Read data is traveling in the same
direction as the Write data, and the initiator of the
Read transaction is on the same side of the bridge
as the target of the Write transaction. The Posted
Write transaction must complete on the target
before Read data is returned to the initiator.
The Read transaction could be to a Status register
of the initiator of the Posted Write data and
therefore should not complete until the Write
transaction is complete.The PCI 6150 can generate
cycles across the bridge in the same order
requested if the Miscellaneous Options register
DRT Out-of-Order Enable bit is set (MSCOPT[2]=1;
PCI:46h). By default, requested cycles can execute
out of order across the bridge if all other ordering
rules are satisfied. Therefore, if the PCI 6150
begins a Delayed transaction that is Retried by the
target, the PCI 6150 can execute another
transaction in the Delayed Transaction Request
queue. Additionally, if there is both Delayed Write
and Delayed Read requests in the queue, and the
Read Data FIFO is full, the PCI 6150 may execute
the Delayed Write request before the Delayed
Read request.

10—Transaction Ordering
On cycle completion, the PCI 6150 may complete
cycles in a different order than that requested by
the initiator.
10.4 DATA SYNCHRONIZATION
Data synchronization refers to the relationship
between interrupt signaling and data delivery. PCI r2.3
provides the following alternative methods for
synchronizing data and interrupts:
• Device signaling the interrupt performs a read
of the data just written (software)
• Device driver performs a Read operation to any
register in the interrupting device before accessing
data written by the device (software)
• System hardware guarantees that Write buffers
are flushed before interrupts are forwarded
The PCI 6150 does not have a hardware mechanism
to guarantee data synchronization for Posted Write
transactions. Therefore, all Posted Write transactions
must be followed by a Read operation, from the
PCI 6150 to the location recently written (or some
other location along the same path), or from the device
driver to a PCI 6150 register.

11—Error Handling
11 ERROR HANDLING
This section provides detailed information regarding
PCI 6150 error management. It also describes error
status reporting and error operation disabling.
11.1 OVERVIEW
The PCI 6150 checks, forwards, and generates parity
on the primary and secondary interfaces. To maintain
transparency, the PCI 6150 forwards the existing
parity condition from one bus to the other, along with
address and data, or regenerates the data parity on
the other bus (MSCOPT[3]=1; PCI:46h).
To support error reporting on the PCI Bus, the
PCI 6150 implements the following:
• P_PERR#, P_SERR#, S_PERR#, and S_SERR#
signals
• Primary and secondary Status registers
(PCISR; PCI:06h and PCISSR; PCI:1Eh,
respectively)
• Device-specific P_SERR# Event Disable and
Status registers (PSERRED; PCI:64h and
PSERRSR; PCI:6Ah, respectively)
11.2 ADDRESS PARITY ERRORS
The PCI 6150 checks address parity for all Bus
transactions, and Address and Bus commands.
When the PCI 6150 detects an Address Parity error on
the primary interface, the following occurs:
1. If the Command register Parity Error Response
Enable bit is set (PCICR[6]=1; PCI:04h), the
PCI 6150 does not claim the transaction with
P_DEVSEL#. This may allow the transaction
to terminate in a Master Abort.
If the Parity Error Response Enable bit is not set,
the PCI 6150 proceeds as usual and accepts the
transaction if the transaction is directed to, or
across, the PCI 6150.
2. PCI 6150 sets the Status register Parity Error
Detected bit (PCISR[15]=1; PCI:06h).
3. PCI 6150 asserts P_SERR# and sets the Status
register Signaled System Error bit (PCISR[14]=1),
if the Command register P_SERR# Enable and
Parity Error Response Enable bits are set
(PCICR[8, 6]=11b; PCI:04h).
When the PCI 6150 detects an Address Parity error on
the secondary interface, the following occurs:
1. If the Bridge Control register Parity Error Response
Enable bit is set (BCNTRL[0]=1; PCI:3Eh), the
PCI 6150 does not claim the transaction with
S_DEVSEL#. This may allow the transaction
to terminate in a Master Abort.
If the Parity Error Response Enable bit is not set,
the PCI 6150 proceeds as usual and accepts the
transaction if the transaction is directed to, or
across, the PCI 6150.
2. PCI 6150 sets the Secondary Status register Parity
Error Detected bit (PCISSR[15]=1; PCI:1Eh),
regardless of the Parity Error Response Enable bit
state (PCICR[6]=x).
3. PCI 6150 asserts S_SERR# and sets the Status
register Signaled System Error bit (PCISSR[14]=1).
11.3 DATA PARITY ERRORS
When forwarding transactions, the PCI 6150 attempts
to pass the data parity condition from one interface to
the other unchanged, whenever possible, to allow the
master and target devices to manage the error
condition.
The following subsections describe, for each
transaction, the sequence that occurs when a Parity
error is detected and the way in which the parity
condition is forwarded across the bridge.
11.3.1 Configuration Write Transactions
to Configuration Space
When the PCI 6150 detects a Data Parity error
during a Type 0 Configuration Write transaction to
Configuration space, the following occurs:
1. If the Command register Parity Error Response
Enable bit is set (PCICR[6]=1; PCI:04h), the
PCI 6150 asserts P_PERR#. If the Parity Error
Response Enable bit is not set, the PCI 6150
does not assert P_PERR#. In either case, the
Configuration register is written.
2. PCI 6150 sets the Status register Parity Error
Detected bit (PCISR[15]=1; PCI:06h), regardless of
the Parity Error Response Enable bit state
(PCICR[6]=x).
Section 11
Error Handling Data Parity Errors
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
11-2 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
11.3.2 Read Transactions
When the PCI 6150 detects a Parity error during a
Read transaction, the target drives data and data
parity, and the initiator checks parity and conditionally
asserts P_PERR# or S_PERR#.
For downstream transactions, when the PCI 6150
detects a Read Data Parity error on the secondary
bus, the PCI 6150:
1. Asserts S_PERR# two cycles following the Data
transfer, if the secondary interface Bridge Control
register Parity Error Response Enable bit is set
(BCNTRL[0]=1; PCI:3Eh).
2. Sets the secondary Status register Parity Error
Detected bit (PCISSR[15]=1; PCI:1Eh), regardless
of the Parity Error Response Enable bit state
(PCICR[6]=x).
3. Sets the secondary Status register Data Parity
Error Detected bit (PCISSR[8]=1), if BCNTRL[0]=1.
4. Returns the bad parity with the data to the initiator
on the primary bus. If the data with the bad parity
is prefetched and not read by the initiator on the
primary bus, the data is discarded and data with
bad parity is not returned to the initiator.
5. Completes the transaction as usual.
For upstream transactions, when the PCI 6150 detects
a Read Data Parity error on the primary bus, the
PCI 6150:
1. Asserts P_PERR# two cycles following the Data
transfer, if the primary interface Command
register Parity Error Response Enable bit is set
(PCICR[6]=1).
2. Sets the primary Status register Parity Error
Detected bit (PCISR[15]=1).
3. Sets the primary Status register Data Parity Error
Detected bit (PCISR[8]=1), if PCICR[6]=1.
4. Returns the bad parity with the data to the initiator
on the secondary bus. If the data with the bad parity
is prefetched and not read by the initiator on the
secondary bus, the data is discarded and data with
bad parity is not returned to the initiator.
5. Completes the transaction as usual.
The PCI 6150 returns to the initiator the data and
parity received from the target. When the initiator
detects a Parity error on this Read data and is enabled
to report the error, the initiator asserts its PERR#
signal (which is then connected to the PCI 6150
P_PERR# or S_PERR# signal, depending on the
initiator bus) two cycles after the Data transfer. It is
assumed that the initiator is responsible for handling
Parity error conditions; therefore, when the PCI 6150
detects the initiator’s PERR# assertion while returning
Read data to the initiator, the PCI 6150 takes no
further action and completes the transaction as usual.
11.3.3 Posted Write Transactions
During downstream Posted Write transactions, when
the PCI 6150 is responding as a target and detects a
Data Parity error on the initiator (primary) bus, it:
1. Asserts P_PERR# two cycles after the Data
transfer, if the primary interface Command register
Parity Error Response Enable bit is set
(PCICR[6]=1).
2. Sets the primary interface Status register Parity
Error Detected bit (PCISR[15]=1).
3. Captures and forwards the bad parity condition to
the secondary bus.
4. Completes the transaction as usual.
Similarly, during upstream Posted Write transactions,
when the PCI 6150 is responding as a target and
detects a Data Parity error on the initiator (secondary)
bus, it:
1. Asserts S_PERR# two cycles after the Data
transfer, if the secondary interface Bridge Control
register Parity Error Response Enable bit is set
(BCNTRL[0]=1).
2. Sets the secondary interface Status register Parity
Error Detected bit (PCISSR[15]=1), regardless of
the Parity Error Response Enable bit state
(PCICR[6]=x).
3. Captures and forwards the bad parity condition
to the primary bus.
4. Completes the transaction as usual.
Section 11
Data Parity Errors Error Handling
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
© 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 11-3
11—Error Handling
During downstream Write transactions, when a Data
Parity error is reported on the target (secondary) bus
by the target’s assertion of S_PERR#, the PCI 6150:
1. Sets the secondary Status register Data Parity
Error Detected bit (PCISSR[8]=1), if the secondary
interface Bridge Control register Parity Error
Response Enable bit is set (BCNTRL[0]=1).
2. Asserts P_SERR# and sets the Status register
Signaled System Error bit (PCISR[14]=1), if the
following conditions are met:
• Primary interface Command register P_SERR#
Enable and Parity Error Response Enable bits
are set (PCICR[8, 6]=11b, respectively), and
• Device-specific P_SERR# Disable bit for
Posted Write Parity errors is not set
(PSERRED[1]=0; PCI:64h), and
• Secondary interface Bridge Control register
Parity Error Response Enable bit is set
(BCNTRL[0]=1), and
• PCI 6150 did not detect the Parity error on the
initiator (primary) bus (that is, the Parity error
was not forwarded from the primary bus)
During upstream Write transactions, when a Data
Parity error is reported on the target (primary) bus by
the target’s assertion of P_PERR#, the PCI 6150:
1. Sets the Status register Data Parity Error Detected
bit (PCISR[8]=1), if the primary interface Command
register Parity Error Response Enable bit is set
(PCICR[6]=1).
2. Asserts P_SERR# and sets the Status register
Signaled System Error bit (PCISR[14]=1), if the
following conditions are met:
• Primary interface Command register P_SERR#
Enable and Parity Error Response Enable bits
are set (PCICR[8, 6]=11b, respectively), and
• Secondary interface Bridge Control register
Parity Error Response Enable bit is set
(BCNTRL[0]=1), and
• PCI 6150 did not detect the Parity error on the
initiator (secondary) bus (that is, the Parity error
was not forwarded from the secondary bus)
P_SERR# assertion signals the Parity error condition
when the initiator is not sent information about an error
having occurred. Because the data is delivered with no
errors, there is no other way to signal this information
to the initiator.
If a Parity error is forwarded from the initiator bus to
the target bus, P_SERR# is not asserted.
11.3.4 Delayed Write Transactions
When the PCI 6150 detects a Data Parity error during
a Delayed Write transaction, it conditionally asserts
PERR#. The PCI 6150 passes or regenerates data
parity to the target bus (MSCOPT[3]=1; PCI:46h). A
Parity error can occur:
• During the original Delayed Write Request
transaction
• When the initiator repeats the Delayed Write
Request transaction
• When the PCI 6150 completes the Delayed Write
transaction to the target
When a Delayed Write transaction is queued, the
Address, Command, Address and Data Parity, Data,
and Byte Enable bits are captured and a Target Retry
is returned to the initiator. When the PCI 6150 detects
a Parity error on the Write data for the initial Delayed
Write Request transaction, the following occurs:
1. If the Parity Error Response Enable bit
corresponding to the initiator bus is set (primary—
PCICR[6]=1, secondary—BCNTRL[0]=1), the
PCI 6150 asserts P_PERR# or S_PERR# two
clocks after the data. The PCI 6150 always accepts
the cycle, and can optionally pass the incorrect
parity to the other bus, or regenerate data parity on
the other bus (MSCOPT[3]=1; PCI:46h).
2. PCI 6150 sets the Status register Parity Error
Detected bit corresponding to the initiator bus
(primary—PCISR[15]=1, secondary—
PCISSR[15]=1), regardless of the Parity Error
Response Enable bit state (PCICR[6]=x).
Following the initiating transaction (the first PCI 6150
Retry), the subsequent Data Parity error of a similar
transaction on the initiating bus is detected as usual;
however, the Data Parity error no longer affects FIFO
operation. The cycles are considered similar if they
have the same Address, Command, Byte Enables and
Write data. The Parity bit is not part of this “similar”
detection operation. Therefore, if a Data Parity error
occurs only in the Parity bit (same data as before), the
cycle operates as usual. Conversely, if a Data Parity
error occurs in the data segment (different data from
the initiating Write data), the PCI 6150 treats the error
as a new Delayed Write transaction.

11.4 DATA PARITY ERROR
REPORTING SUMMARY
In the previous subsections, the PCI 6150 responses
to Data Parity errors are presented according to
transaction type in progress. This subsection
organizes the PCI 6150 responses to Data Parity
errors according to the Status bits set by the PCI 6150
and the signals asserted.
Table 11-1 delineates the primary interface Status
register Parity Error Detected bit status. This bit is set
when the PCI 6150 detects a Parity error on the
primary interface.
Table 11-2 delineates the secondary interface Status
register Parity Error Detected bit status. This bit is set
when the PCI 6150 detects a Parity error on the
secondary interface.
Table 11-3 delineates the primary interface Status
register Data Parity Error Detected bit status. This bit
is set under the following conditions:
• PCI 6150 must be a master on the primary bus, and
• Primary interface Command register Parity Error
Response Enable bit must be set (PCICR[6]=1),
and
• P_PERR# is detected asserted, or a Parity error
is detected on the primary bus
Table 11-4 delineates the secondary interface Status
register Data Parity Error Detected bit status. This bit
is set under the following conditions:
• PCI 6150 must be a master on the secondary bus,
and
• Secondary interface Bridge Control register
Parity Error Response Enable bit must be set
(BCNTRL[0]=1), and
• S_PERR# is detected asserted, or a Parity error is
detected on the secondary bus
Table 11-5 delineates P_PERR# assertion. This signal
is set under the following conditions:
• PCI 6150 is either the target of a Write transaction
or the initiator of a Read transaction on the primary
bus, and
• Primary interface Command register Parity Error
Response Enable bit must be set (PCICR[6]=1),
and
• PCI 6150 detects a Data Parity error on the primary
bus, or detects S_PERR# asserted during the
Completion phase of a downstream Delayed Write
transaction on the target (secondary) bus
Table 11-6 delineates S_PERR# assertion. This signal
is set under the following conditions:
• PCI 6150 is either the target of a Write transaction
or the initiator of a Read transaction on the
secondary bus, and
• Secondary interface Bridge Control register
Parity Error Response Enable bit must be set
(BCNTRL[0]=1), and
• PCI 6150 detects a Data Parity error on the
secondary bus, or detects P_PERR# asserted
during the Completion phase of an upstream
Delayed Write transaction on the target
(primary) bus
Table 11-7 delineates P_SERR# or S_SERR#
assertion. This signal is set under the following
conditions:
• Command register P_SERR# Enable and
Parity Error Response Enable bits must be set
(PCICR[8, 6]=11b, respectively), and
• Bridge Control register Parity Error Response
Enable bit must be set (BCNTRL[0]=1), and
• PCI 6150 detects S_PERR# asserted on a
downstream Posted Write transaction, or P_PERR#
asserted on an upstream Posted Write transaction,
and
• PCI 6150 did not detect the Parity error as a target
of the Posted Write transaction

Error Handling System Error (P_SERR#) Reporting
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
11-12 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
11.5 SYSTEM ERROR (P_SERR#)
REPORTING
The PCI 6150 uses the P_SERR# signal to
conditionally report a number of System error
conditions in addition to the special case Parity error
conditions.
In this data book, when P_SERR# assertion is
discussed, the following conditions are assumed:
• For the PCI 6150 to assert P_SERR#, the
Command register P_SERR# Enable bit must be
set (PCICR[8]=1)
• When the PCI 6150 asserts P_SERR#, the
PCI 6150 must also set the Status register Signaled
System Error bit (PCISR[14]=1)
In compliance with P-to-P Bridge r1.1, the PCI 6150
asserts P_SERR# when it detects S_SERR# input
asserted and the Bridge Control register S_SERR#
Enable bit is set (BCNTRL[1]=1). In addition, the
PCI 6150 also sets the secondary Status register
Signaled System Error bit (PCISSR(14]=1).
Note: S_SERR# is an I/O pin.
The PCI 6150 also conditionally asserts P_SERR# for
the following conditions:
• Master Abort detected during Posted Write
transaction (on the secondary bus)
• Target Abort detected during Posted Write
transaction (on the secondary bus)
• Posted Write data discarded after 224 delivery
attempts (224 Target Retries received)
• S_PERR# reported on the target bus during a
Posted Write transaction (refer to Section 11.4)
• Delayed Write data discarded after 224 delivery
attempts (224 Target Retries received)
• Delayed Read data cannot be transferred from
the target after 224 attempts (224 Target Retries
received)
• Master Timeout on Delayed transaction
The device-specific P_SERR# Status register reports
the reason for P_SERR# assertion.
Most of these events have additional device-specific
Disable bits in the P_SERR# Event Disable register
that can mask P_SERR# assertion for specific events.
The Master Timeout condition has S_SERR# and
P_SERR# Enable bits for that event in the Bridge
Control register (BCNTRL[12:11], respectively), and
therefore does not have a device-specific Disable bit.

12—Exclusive Access
12 EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
This section describes P_LOCK# and S_LOCK#
signal use to implement exclusive access to a target
for transactions crossing the PCI 6150, including
concurrent locks, and acquiring and ending exclusive
access.
12.1 CONCURRENT LOCKS
The primary and secondary bus Lock mechanisms
concurrently operate, except when a Locked
transaction is crossing the PCI 6150. A primary master
can lock a primary target without affecting the Lock
status on the secondary bus, and vice versa. This
means that a primary master can lock a primary target
concurrent with a secondary master locking a
secondary target.
12.2 ACQUIRING EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
ACROSS PCI 6150
For a PCI Bus, before acquiring access to the
P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# signal and starting a
series of Locked transactions, the initiator must first
verify whether the following conditions are met:
• PCI Bus is idle, and
• P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# is de-asserted
The initiator leaves P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK#
de-asserted during the Address phase and asserts
P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# one Clock cycle later.
Target lock is achieved after the target completes a
Data transfer.
Locked transactions can cross the PCI 6150 in the
downstream and upstream directions, from the
primary-to-secondary bus and vice versa.
When the target resides on another PCI Bus, the
master must acquire not only the lock on its own PCI
Bus, but also the lock on every bus between its bus
and the target bus. When the PCI 6150 detects an
initial Locked transaction on the primary bus that is
intended for a target on the secondary bus, the
PCI 6150 samples the Address, Transaction Type,
Byte Enable, and Parity bits, and the S_LOCK# signal.
Because a Target Retry is signaled to the initiator, the
initiator must relinquish the lock on the primary bus,
and therefore the lock is not yet established.
The first Locked transaction must be a Read
transaction. Subsequent Locked transactions can be
Write or Read transactions. Posted Memory Write
transactions that are part of the Locked-transaction
sequence are nevertheless posted. Memory Read
transactions that are part of the Locked-transaction
sequence are not prefetched.
When the Locked Delayed Read request is queued,
the PCI 6150 does not queue further transactions until
the locked sequence is complete. The PCI 6150
signals a Target Retry to all transactions initiated
subsequent to the Locked Read transaction that are
intended for targets on the opposite side of the
PCI 6150. The PCI 6150 allows transactions queued
before the Locked transaction to complete before
initiating the Locked transaction.
When the Locked Delayed Read request moves to the
head of the Delayed Transaction queue, the PCI 6150
initiates the request as a Locked Read transaction by
de-asserting S_LOCK# on the target bus during the
first Address phase, then re-asserting S_LOCK# one
cycle later. If S_LOCK# was previously asserted (used
by another initiator), the PCI 6150 waits to request
access to the secondary bus until S_LOCK# is
sampled de-asserted when the target bus is idle. Note
that the existing lock on the target bus did not cross
the PCI 6150; otherwise, the pending queued Locked
transaction would not have queued. When the
PCI 6150 is able to complete a Data transfer with the
Locked Read transaction, the lock is established on
the secondary bus.
When the initiator repeats the Locked Read
transaction on the primary bus with the same Address,
Transaction Type, Byte Enable, and Parity bits, the
PCI 6150 transfers the Read data back to the initiator,
and the lock is also established on the primary bus.
For the PCI 6150 to recognize and respond to the
initiator, the initiator’s subsequent Read transaction
attempts must use the Locked-transaction sequence
(de-assert P_LOCK# during the Address phase, then
re-assert P_LOCK# one cycle later). If the P_LOCK#
sequence is not used in subsequent attempts, a
Master Timeout condition may result. When a Master
Timeout condition occurs, P_SERR# is conditionally
Section 12
Exclusive Access Ending Exclusive Access

asserted, the Read data and queued Read transaction
are discarded, and S_LOCK# is de-asserted on the
target bus.
After the intended target is locked, subsequent Locked
transactions initiated on the initiator bus that are
forwarded by the PCI 6150 are driven as Locked
transactions on the target bus.
When the PCI 6150 receives a Master or Target Abort
in response to the Delayed Locked Read transaction,
this status is passed back to the initiator, and no locks
are established on the initiator or target bus. The
PCI 6150 resumes Unlocked transaction forwarding in
both directions.
12.3 ENDING EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
After the lock is acquired on the initiator and target
buses, the PCI 6150 must maintain the lock on the
target bus for subsequent Locked transactions until
the initiator relinquishes the lock.
The only time a Target Retry causes the lock to be
relinquished is on the first transaction of a Locked
sequence. On subsequent transactions in the
sequence, the Target Retry has no effect on the
P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# signal status.
An established target lock is maintained until the
initiator relinquishes the lock. The PCI 6150 does not
recognize whether the current transaction is the last in
a sequence of Locked transactions until the initiator
de-asserts P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# at the end of
the transaction.
When the last Locked transaction is a Delayed
transaction, the PCI 6150 previously completed the
transaction on the secondary bus. In this case, when
the PCI 6150 detects that the initiator has relinquished
the P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# signal by sampling
the signal de-asserted while P_FRAME# or
S_FRAME# is de-asserted, the PCI 6150 de-asserts
P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# on the target bus when
possible. Because of this behavior, P_LOCK# and/or
S_LOCK# may not be de-asserted until several cycles
after the last Locked transaction completes on the
target bus. After de-asserting P_LOCK# and/or
S_LOCK# to indicate the end of a sequence of Locked
transactions, the PCI 6150 resumes Unlocked
transaction forwarding.
When the last Locked transaction is a Posted Write,
the PCI 6150 de-asserts P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK#
on the target bus at the end of the transaction because
the lock was relinquished at the end of the Write
transaction on the initiator bus.
When the PCI 6150 receives a Master or Target Abort
in response to a Locked Delayed transaction, the
PCI 6150 returns a Master or Target Abort when the
initiator repeats the Locked transaction. The initiator
must then de-assert P_LOCK# and/or S_LOCK# at
the end of the transaction. The PCI 6150 sets the
appropriate Status bits, flagging the abnormal Target
Termination condition, and normal forwarding of
Unlocked Posted and Delayed transactions resumes.
When the PCI 6150 receives a Master or Target Abort
in response to a Locked Posted Write transaction, the
PCI 6150 cannot communicate that status to the
initiator. The PCI 6150 asserts P_SERR# on the
initiator bus when a Master or Target Abort is received
during a Locked Posted Write transaction, if the
Command register P_SERR# Enable bit is set
(PCICR[8]=1; PCI:04h). P_SERR# is asserted for the
Master Abort condition if the Bridge Control register
Master Abort Mode bit is set (BCNTRL[5]=1; PCI:3Eh).
Note: The PCI 6150 has an option to ignore the Lock protocol,
by clearing the Secondary and/or Primary Lock Enable bits
(MSCOPT[14:13]=00b; PCI:46h, respectively).

13—PCI Bus Arbitration
13 PCI BUS ARBITRATION
This section describes primary and secondary bus
arbitration and bus parking.
13.1 OVERVIEW
The PCI 6150 must arbitrate for use of the secondary
bus when forwarding downstream transactions, and
for the primary bus when forwarding upstream
transactions. The primary bus Arbiter is external to the
PCI 6150 (typically located on the motherboard). For
the secondary PCI Bus, the PCI 6150 has a built-in
Internal Arbiter. The Internal Arbiter can be disabled,
allowing use of an External Arbiter for secondary bus
arbitration.
13.2 PRIMARY PCI BUS ARBITRATION
The PCI 6150 uses one Request output pin and one
Grant input pin (P_REQ# and P_GNT#, respectively)
for primary PCI Bus arbitration. The PCI 6150 asserts
P_REQ# when forwarding transactions upstream (that
is, when operating as an initiator on the primary PCI
Bus). When there are one or more pending
transactions in the upstream direction queues—
Posted Write data or Delayed transaction requests—
the PCI 6150 maintains P_REQ# assertion. However,
if a Target Retry, Disconnect, or Abort is received in
response to a PCI 6150-initiated transaction on the
primary PCI Bus, the PCI 6150 de-asserts P_REQ#
for two PCI Clock cycles. For all cycles passing
through the bridge, P_REQ# is not asserted until the
complete transaction request is queued.
When P_GNT# is asserted low by the primary bus
Arbiter after the PCI 6150 asserts P_REQ#, the
PCI 6150 initiates a transaction on the primary bus on
behalf of the secondary master.
If the primary bus External Arbiter asserts the
PCI 6150 P_GNT# signal when P_REQ# is not
asserted, the PCI 6150 parks P_AD[31:0],
P_CBE[3:0]#, and P_PAR by driving these signals to
valid logic levels. If the primary bus is parked on the
PCI 6150 and the PCI 6150 has a transaction to
initiate on the primary bus, the PCI 6150 initiates the
transaction if P_GNT# remained asserted during the
cycle prior to the start of the transfer.
13.3 SECONDARY PCI BUS
ARBITRATION
The PCI 6150 implements a secondary PCI Bus
Internal Arbiter, which supports up to nine external bus
masters in addition to the PCI 6150. If required, the
Internal Arbiter can be disabled, allowing use of an
External Arbiter for secondary bus arbitration.
13.3.1 Secondary Bus Arbitration
Using Internal Arbiter
To use the Internal Arbiter, the secondary bus Internal
Arbiter Enable pin, S_CFN#, must be tied low. The
PCI 6150 has nine secondary bus Request input and
Grant output pins (S_REQ[8:0]# and S_GNT[8:0]#,
respectively) to support external secondary bus
masters. If S_CFN# is high, S_REQ0# and S_GNT0#
are reconfigured as output and input, respectively, and
S_GNT[8:1]# are driven high.
Note: S_REQ0# and S_GNT0# are I/O pins.
The PCI 6150 uses a two-level arbitration scheme,
whereby arbitration is divided into two groups—low-
and high-priority. The low-priority group represents a
single entry in the high-priority group. Therefore, if the
high-priority group consists of n masters, the highest
priority is assigned to the low-priority group at least
once every n+1 transactions. Priority changes evenly
among the low-priority group. Therefore, assuming all
masters request the bus, members of the high-priority
group are serviced ntransactions out of n+1, while
one member of the low-priority group is serviced once
every n+1 transactions.
Each master can be assigned to a low- or high-priority
group, through the Arbiter Control register (ACNTRL;
PCI:42h).
Each group can be programmed to use a rotating- or
fixed-priority scheme, through the Internal Arbiter
Control register Group Fixed Arbitration bits
(IACNTRL[2, 0]; PCI:50h).

PCI Bus Arbitration Secondary PCI Bus Arbitration
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11

13.3.2 Rotating-Priority Scheme
The secondary Arbiter supports a programmable
two-level rotating algorithm that enables the nine
request/grant pairs to control up to nine external bus
masters. In addition, there is a request/grant pair
internal to the PCI 6150, which allows the device to
request and be granted access to the secondary bus.
Figure 13-1 is an example of the Internal Arbiter
wherein four masters, including the PCI 6150, are in
the high-priority group, and five masters are in the
low-priority group. Using this example, if all requests
are always asserted, the highest priority rotates
among the masters in the following way (the PCI 6150
is denoted as B; high-priority members are provided in
italic type, and low-priority members in boldface type):
B, m0, m1, m2, m3, B, m0, m1, m2, m4,
B, m0, m1, m2, m5, and so forth
If all masters are assigned to one group, the algorithm
defaults to a rotating-priority scheme among all
masters. After reset, all external masters are assigned
to the low-priority group, and the PCI 6150 to the
high-priority group. Therefore, by default, the
PCI 6150 receives highest priority on the secondary
bus every other transaction and priority rotates evenly
among the other masters.
Figure 13-1. Secondary Bus Arbiter Example
Note: In Figure 13-1, “lpg” denotes “low-priority group.”
Priorities are re-evaluated upon S_FRAME# assertion
(that is, at the start of each new transaction on the
secondary PCI Bus). From this point, until the next
transaction starts, the Arbiter asserts the Grant signal
corresponding to the highest priority request asserted.
If a Grant signal for a particular request is asserted,
and a higher priority request subsequently asserts, the
Arbiter de-asserts the asserted Grant signal and
asserts the Grant signal corresponding to the new
higher priority request on the next PCI Clock cycle.
When priorities are re-evaluated, the highest priority is
assigned to the next highest priority master, relative to
the master that initiated the previous transaction. The
master that initiated the last transaction now has the
lowest priority within its group. Priority is also
re-evaluated if the requesting agent de-asserts its
request without generating cycles while the request
was granted.
If the PCI 6150 detects that an initiator has failed to
assert S_FRAME# after 16 cycles of Grant signal
assertion and a secondary bus idle condition, the
Arbiter re-evaluates grant assignment. If another
initiator asserts REQ# to request the bus, the
PCI 6150 switches the grant to the new initiator;
otherwise, the same grant is asserted to the same
initiator, even if the PCI 6150 does not assert
S_FRAME# within 16 cycles.
13.3.3 Fixed-Priority Scheme
The PCI 6150 also supports a fixed-priority scheme
within the low- and high-priority groups. In this
case, the Internal Arbiter Control register controls
whether the low- or high-priority group uses the fixed-
or rotating-priority scheme (IACNTRL[2, 0]; PCI:50h).
If using a fixed-priority scheme, a master within the
group is assigned the highest priority within its group,
and an option is set to control the priority of other
masters relative to the highest priority master. This is
controlled through the Internal Arbiter Control register
Highest Priority Master and Group Arbitration Order
bits (IACNTRL [11:4, 3, 1]; PCI:50h).

13—PCI Bus Arbitration
Using the example provided in Figure 13-1, but with
the groups at fixed-priority, suppose that:
• Master 7 (m7) has the highest priority of the
low-priority group (IACNTRL[7:4]=0111b)
• PCI 6150 (B) has the highest priority of the
high-priority group (IACNTRL[11:8]=1000b)
• Priority decreases in ascending order of masters
for both groups (IACNTRL[3, 1]=00b)
The order of priority with the highest first is as follows:
B, m0, m1, m2, m7, m3, m4, m5, m6
If IACNTRL[3, 1]=11b, priority increases with
ascending order of bus master and the order
becomes:
B, m2, m1, m0, m7, m6, m5, m4, m3
Take care when using fixed arbitration in the
low-priority group. As previously noted, the low-priority
group receives the grant only when there are no
high-priority group requests. When the Arbiter
switches to the low-priority group, the highest priority
master requesting the bus within that group receives
the grant. If there are several requests issued by the
high-priority group members and the high-priority
master in the low-priority group, then lower priority
devices in the low-priority group may have to wait
before receiving the grant.
To prevent bus contention, if the secondary PCI Bus is
idle, the Arbiter waits at least one Clock cycle between
the S_GNTx# de-assertion and assertion of the next
S_REQx#. If the secondary PCI Bus is busy (that is,
S_FRAME# or S_IRDY# is asserted) when another
bus master requests the bus, the Arbiter can de-assert
one grant and assert the next grant during the same
PCI Clock cycle.
13.3.4 Secondary Bus Arbitration
Using External Arbiter
The Internal Arbiter can be disabled by pulling the
secondary bus Internal Arbiter Enable pin (S_CFN#)
high. An External Arbiter must be used if more than
one bus master is required to initiate cycles on the
secondary bus.
When S_CFN# is tied high, the PCI 6150
re-configures two pins to be external Request and
Grant pins. S_REQ0# is re-configured to be the
external Request output from the PCI 6150 and is
used by the PCI 6150 to request the secondary bus.
S_GNT0# is reconfigured to be the PCI 6150 external
Grant input from the External Arbiter.
If the PCI 6150 requests the secondary PCI Bus
(S_REQ0# asserted) and the External Arbiter grants
the bus to the PCI 6150 (S_GNT0# asserted), the
PCI 6150 initiates a transaction on the secondary bus
one Clock cycle later.
If the secondary bus External Arbiter asserts
S_GNT0# when S_REQ0# is not asserted, the
PCI 6150 parks S_AD[31:0], S_CBE[3:0]#, and
S_PAR by driving these signals to valid logic levels.
When using an External Arbiter, the unused
secondary bus Grant outputs (S_GNT[8:1]#) are
driven high. Unused secondary bus Request inputs
(S_REQ[8:1]#) must be pulled high.
Section 13
PCI Bus Arbitration Arbitration Bus Parking
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
13-4 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
13.4 ARBITRATION BUS PARKING
Bus parking refers to driving the AD[31:0], CBE[3:0]#,
and PAR lines to a known value while the bus is idle.
The PCI Bus is parked on the PCI 6150 primary or
secondary bus when one or both buses are idle. Bus
parking occurs when the bus grant to the PCI 6150 on
the parked bus is being asserted, and the PCI 6150
request for that bus is not asserted. The AD[31:0] and
CBE[3:0]# signals are first driven low (0), then the
PAR signals are driven low (0) one cycle later.
When the GNT# signal for the parked bus is
de-asserted, the PCI 6150 places the AD[31:0],
CBE[3:0]#, and PAR signals into a high-impedance
state on the next PCI clock cycle. If the PCI 6150 is
parking and wants to initiate a transaction on that bus,
the PCI 6150 can start the transaction on the next PCI
Clock cycle by asserting FRAME# if GNT# remains
asserted.
If the secondary bus Internal Arbiter is enabled, the
secondary arbiter can be optionally parked at the last
active slot, or on any of the designated slots, and it
can also be disabled.
The PCI 6150 has the following options related to
arbitration parking, selectable through Internal Arbiter
Control register Bus Grant Parking Control bits
(IACNTRL[15:12]; PCI:50h):
•No parking—All grants are de-asserted if there are
no asserted requests
•Fixed parking—Grant can be assigned to a
specific master
•Last master granted—Grant is assigned to the last
granted master

14—GPIO Interface
14 GPIO INTERFACE
This section describes the GPIO interface pins, control
registers, and serial stream.
14.1 GPIO INTERFACE PINS
The PCI 6150 provides four, general-purpose I/O
interface pins (GPIO[3:0]). (Refer to Table 14-1.)
During normal operation, the Configuration registers
control the GPIO interface. During Secondary reset,
the GPIO[2:0] and MSK_IN can be used to shift in a
16-bit serial stream that serves as a secondary bus
Clock Disable Mask.
The GPIO[3:0] pins have weak internal pull-up
resistors. External pull-up or pull-down resistors are
recommended.
Note: MSK_IN is used in the PQFP package only. If using the
PBGA package, use software to disable unused Secondary Clock
buffers through the SCLKCNTRL; PCI:68h register.
14.2 GPIO SERIAL STREAM
Refer to Section 4.3.1, “Secondary Clock Control,” on
page 4-1.
14.3 GPIO CONTROL REGISTERS
The GPIO registers can be accessed from both sides
of the bus. During normal operation, the GPIO
interface is controlled by the following three GPIO
Configuration registers:
• Output Enable (GPIOOE)
• Output Data (GPIOOD)
• Input Data (GPIOID)
The GPIO Configuration registers consist of five 8-bit
fields:
• Output Enable Write 1 to Set (GPIOOE[7:4])
• Output Enable Write 1 to Clear (GPIOOE[3:0])
• Output Data Write 1 to Set (GPIOOD[7:4])
• Output Data Write 1 to Clear (GPIOOD[3:0])
• Input Data (GPIOID[7:4])
The Output Enable fields control whether the GPIO
signals are inputs or outputs. Each signal is
independently controlled by a bit in each Output
Enable field. If 1 is written to the Write 1 to Set field,
the corresponding pin is activated as an output. If 1 is
written to the Write 1 to Clear field, the output driver is
placed into a high-impedance state, and the pin is
input only. Writing zeros (0) to these registers has no
effect. The reset state for these signals is input only.
The Output Data fields also use the Write 1 to Set and
Clear methods. If 1 is written to the Write 1 to Set field
and the pin is enabled as an output, the corresponding
GPIO output is driven high. If 1 is written to the Write 1
to Clear field and the pin is enabled as an output, the
corresponding GPIO output is driven low. Writing
zeros (0) to these registers has no effect. The value
written to the Output Data register is driven only when
the GPIO signal is configured as output. A Type 0
Configuration Write operation is used to program
these registers. The reset value for the output is 0.
The Input Data field is Read-Only and reflects the
current value of the GPIO[3:0] pins. A Type 0
Configuration Read operation to the Input Data
register returns the values of these pins. The
GPIO[3:0] pins can be read at any time, whether
configured as input only or bi-directional.

16—Bridge Behavior
16 BRIDGE BEHAVIOR
This section presents various bridge behavior
scenarios that occur when the target responds to a
cycle generated by the PCI 6150, on behalf of the
initiating master.
16.1 BRIDGE ACTIONS FOR VARIOUS
CYCLE TYPES
A PCI cycle is initiated by FRAME# assertion. In a
bridge, there are several possibilities for this to occur.
Table 16-1 summarizes these possibilities, and
delineates the PCI 6150 action for various cycle types.
After the PCI cycle is initiated, a target then has up to
three clocks to respond before subtractive decoding,
or four clocks before a Master Abort, is initiated. If the
target detects an address hit, it asserts DEVSEL# in
the cycle corresponding to the Configuration Status
register DEVSEL# Timing bits (PCISR[10:9]; PCI:06h
or PCISSR[10:9]; PCI:1Eh).
PCI cycle termination can occur in a number of ways.
Normal termination begins by the initiator (master)
de-asserting FRAME#, with IRDY# being asserted
(or remaining asserted) on the same cycle. The cycle
completes when TRDY# and IRDY# are
simultaneously asserted. The target should de-assert
TRDY# for one cycle following final assertion
(sustained three-state signal).
Table 16-1. Bridge Actions for Various Cycle Types
Initiator Target PCI 6150 Response
Master on primary port
Target on the same
primary port
Does not respond. This situation is detected by decoding the address
and monitoring P_DEVSEL# for other fast and medium-speed devices
on the primary port.
Target on secondary port
Asserts P_DEVSEL# and normally terminates the cycle if posted;
otherwise, returns with a Retry. Next, passes the cycle to the
appropriate port. When the cycle completes on the target port, the
PCI 6150 waits for the initiator to repeat the same cycle and end with
normal termination.
Target not on primary nor
secondary port Does not respond and the cycle terminates as a Master Abort.
Master on secondary port
Target on the same
secondary port Does not respond.
Target on primary or other
secondary port
Asserts S_DEVSEL# and normally terminates the cycle if posted;
otherwise, returns with a Retry. Next, passes the cycle to the
appropriate port. When the cycle completes on the target port, the
PCI 6150 waits for the initiator to repeat the same cycle and end with
normal termination.
Target not on primary nor other
secondary port Does not respond.

Bridge Behavior Abnormal Termination (Master Abort, Initiated by Bridge Master)
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11
16-2 © 2005 PLX Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
16.2 ABNORMAL TERMINATION
(MASTER ABORT, INITIATED
BY BRIDGE MASTER)
A Master Abort indicates that the PCI 6150, operating
as a master, receives no response from a target (that
is, no target asserts P_DEVSEL# or S_DEVSEL#).
The bridge de-asserts FRAME#, then de-asserts
IRDY#.
16.3 PARITY AND ERROR REPORTING
Parity must be checked for all addresses and Write
data. Parity is defined on the P_PAR and S_PAR
signals. Parity should be even [that is, an even
number of ones (1)] across AD[31:0], CBE[3:0]#, and
PAR. Parity information on PAR is valid the cycle after
AD[31:0] and CBE[3:0]#, are valid.
For all Address phases, if a Parity error is detected,
the error is reported on the P_SERR# signal by
asserting P_SERR# for one cycle, then placing two
cycles into a high-impedance state after the bad
address. P_SERR# can be asserted only if the
Command register P_SERR# and Parity Error
Response bits are both set to 1 (PCICR[8, 6]=11b;
PCI:04h, respectively). For Write Data phases, a
Parity error is reported by asserting P_PERR# two
cycles after the Data phase and remains asserted for
one cycle when PCICR[8]=1. The target reports any
type of Data Parity errors during Write cycles, while
the master reports Data Parity errors during Read
cycles.
Address Parity error detection causes the PCI bridge
target to not claim the bus (P_DEVSEL# remains
inactive). The cycle then terminates with a Master
Abort. When the bridge is operating as master, a Data
Parity error during a Read cycle results in the bridge
master initiating a Master Abort.

17—PCI Flow-Through
Optimization
17 PCI FLOW-THROUGH OPTIMIZATION
This section describes Flow-Through optimization,
including precautions when using non-optimized PCI
master devices, Posted Write and Delayed Read Flow
Through, Read cycle optimization, and Read Prefetch
boundaries.
17.1 OVERVIEW
The PCI 6150 operates in Flow-Through mode when
data from the same transaction is simultaneously
transferred on both sides of the bridge (that is, data on
one side of the bridge “flows through” to the other side
of the bridge). The PCI 6150 has several options to
optimize PCI transfers after Flow-Though mode is
achieved by way of the bridge.
The purpose of Flow-Through mode is to improve PCI
Bus utilization and efficiency. If Data transfers on one
side of the bridge are broken into several transactions
on the other side of the bridge, poor bus efficiency
results. By using Flow-Through mode, the PCI 6150
improves bus efficiency for Posted writes, Delayed
Reads, and reads to prefetchable spaces.
17.2 PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING
NON-OPTIMIZED PCI MASTER
DEVICES
The PCI 6150 is capable of high-performance
prefetching. However, some PCI masters may be
unable to prefetch a large amount of data. This may be
due to a small internal buffer size or other limiting
factors. For example, if data is being read from a
register or FIFO-based architecture, valuable data
may be lost if the host prematurely terminates a
Prefetch cycle (ideally such spaces would not be listed
as prefetchable). Under these circumstances the
default values for prefetching may be overly
aggressive and affect overall performance. In this
case, tune default prefetching by reprogramming the
Prefetch registers, as listed in Table 17-1. (Refer to
Section 6, “Registers,” for a detailed description of
these registers.)
The serial EEPROM can also be used to program the
Configuration space upon reset.
17.3 POSTED WRITE FLOW THROUGH
During Flow Through of Posted Write cycles, if there is
only one Data transfer pending in the Internal Post
Memory Write queue, the PCI 6150 can be
programmed to wait for a specified number of clocks
before Disconnecting. The PCI 6150 de-asserts
IRDY# on the target side and waits up to seven clocks
for additional data from the initiator. If new Write data
is received from the initiator during this period, the
PCI 6150 re-asserts IRDY# and continues with the
Write cycle. If new Write data is not received during
this period, the PCI 6150 terminates the cycle to the
target with the last data from the queue and later
finishes the cycle.
The Flow-Through Control registers for Posted writes
are detailed in Section 6, “Registers.” (Refer to
PFTCR[2:0]; PCI:44h and SFTCR[2:0]; PCI:4Eh.)
17.4 DELAYED READ FLOW THROUGH
For Flow Through of Delayed Read cycles, if the
Internal Read Queue is almost full, the PCI 6150 can
be programmed to insert wait states to delay Read
data from the target for a specified number of clocks
before Disconnecting. During this time, the PCI 6150
de-asserts IRDY# on the target bus and waits up to
seven clocks. If additional space becomes available in
the Internal Read queue before the end of the IRDY#
inactive period, the PCI 6150 re-asserts IRDY# and
proceeds with the next Read Data phase. If no
additional space becomes available in the Internal
Read queue, the current Data phase becomes the last
(IRDY# is asserted) and the cycle Disconnects at the
end of the Data phase.
The Flow-Through Control registers for Delayed
Reads are detailed in Section 6, “Registers.” (Refer to
PFTCR[6:4]; PCI:44h and SFTCR[6:4]; PCI:4Eh.)

PCI Flow-Through Optimization Read Cycle Optimization
PCI 6150BB Data Book, Version 2.11

17.5 READ CYCLE OPTIMIZATION
The main function of Read Cycle optimization is to
increase the probability of Flow Through occurring
during Read accesses to Prefetchable Memory
regions. To improve the probability of Flow Through,
the amount of data to be prefetched must be correctly
configured.
If the PCI 6150 prefetches insufficient data, Flow
Through does not occur because prefetching on the
target side completes before the Initiator Retries the
Read access. Under these circumstances, the Read
cycles become divided into multiple cycles.
If the PCI 6150 prefetches excessive data and the
internal FIFOs fill, the PCI 6150 must wait for the
initiator to Retry the previous Read cycle and then
flush the unclaimed data before queuing subsequent
cycles.
The initial count is normally equivalent to the cache-
line size. This assumes that a master usually requires
at least one cache line of data. The incremental count
is used only when the PCI 6150 does not detect Flow
Through for the current cycle being prefetched during
the Initial Prefetch Count. The PCI 6150 continues
prefetching in increments until it reaches the maximum
count, then Disconnects the cycle.
• For Read prefetching, the PCI 6150 implements
several registers that control the amount of data
prefetched on the primary and secondary PCI
Buses. The Prefetch registers listed in Table 17-1
can be used to optimize PCI 6150 performance
during Read cycles.
The PCI 6150 prefetches until Flow Through occurs or
prefetching must stop, based on the following
conditions:
Prefetch continues while:
(IPMC + IPC + IPC + … + IPC) < MPC
where:
IPMC = Initial Prefetch Maximum Count
IPC = Incremental Prefetch Count, < ½ MPC
MPC = Maximum Prefetch Count
If the Prefetch Count did not reach MPC and Flow
Through was achieved, the PCI 6150 continues
prefetching until the requesting master terminates the
Prefetch request. Otherwise, when MPC is reached,
the PCI 6150 stops prefetching data.
Incremental Prefetch can be disabled by setting
IPC ≥MPC.
17.5.1 Primary and Secondary
Initial Prefetch Count
Assuming that there is sufficient space in the internal
FIFO, the Primary and Secondary Initial Prefetch
Count registers (PITLPCNT; PCI:48h and SITLPCNT;
PCI:49h, respectively) control the amount of data
initially prefetched by the PCI 6150 on the primary or
secondary bus during reads to the Prefetchable
Memory region. If Flow Through is achieved during
this initial prefetch, the PCI 6150 continues prefetching
beyond this count.
Table 17-1. Reprogramming Prefetch Registers
Configuration Space Register Data
Primary Initial Prefetch Count (PITLPCNT; PCI:48h) Same value as Cache Line Size register (PCICLSR; PCI:0Ch).
Note: Most PCs set this value to 08h.

17—PCI Flow-Through
Optimization
17.5.2 Primary and Secondary
Incremental Prefetch Count
The Primary and Secondary Incremental Prefetch
Count registers (PINCPCNT; PCI:4Ah and
SINCPCNT; PCI:4Bh, respectively) control the amount
of prefetching after the initial prefetch. If Flow Through
is not achieved during the initial prefetch, the PCI 6150
attempts to prefetch further data, until the FIFO fills, or
until the Maximum Prefetch Count is reached. Each
subsequent prefetch is equal to the Incremental
Prefetch Count.
17.5.3 Primary and Secondary
Maximum Prefetch Count
The Primary and Secondary Maximum Prefetch Count
registers (PMAXPCNT; PCI:4Ch and SMAXPCNT;
PCI:4Dh, respectively) limit the amount of prefetched
data for a single entry available in the internal FIFO at
any time. During Read Prefetch cycles, the PCI 6150
Disconnects the cycle if the data count in the FIFO for
the current cycle reaches this value, and Flow
Through has not been achieved.
17.6 READ PREFETCH BOUNDARIES
For Memory Read and Memory Read Line commands,
the PCI 6150 prefetches from the starting address up
to an address with an offset that is a multiple of the
Initial Prefetch Count. For example, if the starting
address is 10h and the Initial Prefetch Count equals
20h, the PCI 6150 prefetches only a 10h (20h to 10h)
count. After this, the PCI 6150 begins incremental
prefetch until the Maximum Prefetch Count is reached,
or Flow Through is achieved. The exception to this is
in the case of a 64-bit request and six or fewer Dwords
from the boundary, or a 32-bit request and four or
fewer Dwords from the boundary, in which the
PCI 6150 does not activate Incremental Prefetch.
For Memory Read Multiple commands, if the starting
address is not 0, the PCI 6150 first prefetches from the
starting address up to the address with an offset equal
to that of the Initial Prefetch Count. After this, the
PCI 6150 prefetches one additional Initial Prefetch
Count. For example, if the starting address is 10h and
the Initial Prefetch Count equals 20h, the PCI 6150
first prefetches a 10h (20h to 10h) count, then
continues to prefetch another 20h count. Subsequent
to this, Incremental Prefetch is invoked until the
Maximum Prefetch Count is reached or Flow Through
is achieved.

19—Hot Swap
19 HOT SWAP
This section describes the Hot Swap feature and
its use.
19.1 OVERVIEW
The PCI 6150 incorporates functionality that meets
PICMG 2.1 R2.0 requirements with High-Availability
Programming Interface level 1 (PI=1). The
CompactPCI Hot Swap register block is located at
PCI Configuration offset E4h. Refer to PICMG 2.1
R2.0 for detailed implementation guidelines. The Hot
Insertion Power-Up sequence recommendation is
illustrated in Figure 19-1.
Notes: To use the Hot Swap function, EJECT_EN# and
GPIO3FN# must be connected to 0. (Refer to Table 19-1.)
If the Hot Swap function is not used, pull GPIO3FN# high or GPIO3
low to disable the function.
19.2 LED ON/OFF (PI=1)
For PI=1 support, upon RSTIN# assertion, the
PCI 6150 turns ON the LED. After RSTIN#
de-assertion, the LED remains ON until the eject
switch (handle) is closed, then the PCI 6150 turns
OFF the LED.

19.3 HOT SWAP SIGNALS
The PCI 6150 uses the following Hot Swap-related
pins:
•EJECT_EN#—Ejector Pin Use Enable. Used to
enable the GPIO3 pin as EJECT input. If this pin
is 1, GPIO3 functions as a GPIO pin. GPIO3 only
functions as EJECT input when both GPIO3FN#
and EJECT_EN# are tied low, which also enables
Hot Swap capability.
•ENUM#—Indicates an open-drain bused signal
asserted when an adapter was inserted or is ready
to be extracted from a PCI slot. Asserted through
the Hot Swap registers (HS_CNTL; PCI:E4h,
HS_CSR; PCI:E6h, and HS_NEXT; PCI:E5h).
•GPIO3FN#—When GPIO3FN# is tied high, GPIO3
functions as a GPIO pin regardless of the
EJECT_EN# pin state. GPIO3 functions as Ejector
input only when both GPIO3FN# and EJECT_EN#
are tied low. To enable Hot Swap capability, both
the GPIO3FN# and EJECT_EN# inputs must
be low.
•PIN_LED/EJECT—Active high signal that allows
other circuits to drive the Blue Hot Swap LED.
Turns ON LED if RSTIN# is asserted, or when the
LOO bit is set (HS_CSR[3]=1; PCI:E6h) and
RSTIN# is de-asserted.
19.4 HOT SWAP REGISTER
CONTROL AND STATUS
The PCI 6150 Hot Swap Control/Status register
(HS_CSR) is located at PCI offset E6h.
19.5 DEVICE HIDING
The PCI 6150 implements Device Hiding to eliminate
mid-transaction extractions. This invokes Device
Hiding by hardware from the Hot Swap port after
RSTIN# becomes inactive and the ejector handle
remains unlocked.
Software quiesces the PCI 6150 when Device Hiding
is invoked. The current transaction is completed as
early as possible. The PCI 6150 does not initiate a
transaction as a master, respond as a target to I/O
transactions, nor signal interrupts.
When Device Hiding is invoked, the PCI 6150
terminates the current Configuration transaction by
signaling a Disconnect. After the current transaction
completes (is Disconnected), the PCI 6150 does not
respond as a target to any subsequent transactions
until Device Hiding is canceled.
If not participating in a transaction when Device Hiding
is invoked, the PCI 6150 does not respond as a target
to subsequent transactions until Device Hiding is
canceled.
Device Hiding is canceled when the handle switch is
relocked.

21—Testability/Debug
21 TESTABILITY/DEBUG
This section describes the JTAG interface for use in
testing and debugging the PCI 6150.
21.1 JTAG INTERFACE
The PCI 6150 provides a JTAG Boundary Scan
interface, which can be utilized to debug a pin’s board
connectivity.
21.1.1 IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port
The IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port (TAP), commonly
called the JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) debug port,
is an architectural standard described in IEEE
Standard 1149.1-1990, IEEE Standard Test Access
Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture. The standard
describes a method for accessing internal chip
facilities using a four- or five-signal interface.
The JTAG debug port, originally designed to support
scan-based board testing, is enhanced to support the
attachment of debug tools. The enhancements, which
comply with IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990
specifications for vendor-specific extensions, are
compatible with standard JTAG hardware for
boundary-scan system testing.
•JTAG Signals—JTAG debug port implements
the four required JTAG signals—TCK, TDI, TDO,
TMS—and the optional TRST# signal.
(Refer to Table 3-10, “JTAG Pins,” on page 3-15
for signal descriptions.)
•JTAG Clock Requirements—TCK signal
frequency can range from DC to 10 MHz.
•JTAG Reset Requirements—JTAG debug port
logic and system simultaneously reset. The two
methods for placing the PCI 6150 JTAG TAP
controller into the Test-Logic-Reset state are
as follows:
• Upon receiving TRST#, the JTAG TAP
controller returns to the Test-Logic Reset state
• Hold the PCI 6150 TMS pin high while
transitioning the PCI 6150 TCK pin five times
21.1.2 JTAG Instructions
The JTAG debug port provides the standard EXTEST,
SAMPLE/PRELOAD, and BYPASS instructions.
Invalid instructions behave as BYPASS instructions.
Table 21-1 lists the JTAG instructions, along with their
input codes.

21.1.3 JTAG Boundary Scan
Boundary Scan Description Language (BSDL), IEEE
1149.1b-1994, is a supplement to IEEE Standard
1149.1-1990 and IEEE 1149.1a-1993, IEEE Standard
Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture.
BSDL, a subset of the IEEE 1076-1993 Standard
VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL),
allows a rigorous description of testability features in
components that comply with the standard. Automated
test pattern generation tools use BDSL for package
interconnect tests and Electronic Design Automation
(EDA) tools for synthesized test logic and verification.
BSDL supports robust extensions that can be used for
internal test generation and to write software for
hardware debug and diagnostics.
The primary components of BSDL include the logical
port description, physical pin map, instruction set, and
Boundary register description.
The logical port description assigns symbolic names to
the PCI 6150 pins. Each pin has a logical type of in,
out, in out, buffer, or linkage that defines the logical
signal flow direction.
The physical pin map correlates the PCI 6150 logical
ports to the physical pins of a specific package. A
BSDL description can have several physical pin maps;
each map is provided a unique name.
Instruction set statements describe the bit patterns
that must be shifted into the Instruction register to
place the PCI 6150 in the various Test modes defined
by the standard. Instruction set statements also
support instruction descriptions unique to the
PCI 6150.
The Boundary register description lists each of its cells
or shift stages. Each cell has a unique number—the
cell numbered 0 is the closest to the Test Data Out
(TDO) pin and the cell with the highest number is
closest to the Test Data In (TDI) pin. Each cell
contains additional information, including:
•Cell type
• Logical port associated with the cell
• Logical function of the cell
•Safe value
• Control cell number
• Disable value
• Result value
21.1.4 JTAG Reset Input TRST#
The TRST# input pin is the asynchronous JTAG logic
reset. TRST# assertion causes the PCI 6150 TAP
controller to initialize. In addition, when the TAP
controller is initialized, it selects the PCI 6150 normal
logic path (core-to-I/O). Consider the following when
implementing the asynchronous JTAG logic reset on a
board:
• If JTAG functionality is required, one of the
following should be considered:
• Use the TRST# input signal low-to-high
transition once.
• Hold the PCI 6150 TMS pin high while
transitioning the PCI 6150 TCK pin five times.
• If JTAG functionality is not required, the TRST#
signal must be directly connected to ground.
Note: IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990 requires pull-up resistors on
the TDI, TMS, and TRST# pins. To remain PCI r2.3-compliant,
no internal pull-up resistors are provided on JTAG pins in the
PCI 6150; therefore, the pull-up resistors must be externally
added to the PCI 6150 when implementing JTAG.

A—Using PCI 6150
A USING PCI 6150
Because the PCI 6150 primary and secondary ports
are asynchronous to one another, these two
independent systems can run at differing frequencies.
The secondary bus can be run faster than the primary
bus, and vice versa.
The PCI 6150 controls powerful programmable
buffers, which can be used to regulate data throughput
for multiple PCI masters on the secondary port. The
data prefetch size can be programmed to up to
256 bytes.
The host system PCI bus is connected to the
PCI 6150 primary port. The secondary PCI port can
use a custom-designed External Arbiter or the
PCI 6150 Internal Arbiter. To provide clocks to
secondary PCI devices and PCI 6150 S_CLKIN, use
custom-designed clock generations, PCI 6150
S_CLKO[9:0] outputs (derived out of the primary port
PCI clock input), or an external oscillator.
Figure A-1 provides basic optimization design.

Optional Secondary Clock
source input to the PCI 6150
can be used for all secondary
port PCI devices. This clock
can be asynchronous and
need not be at the same
frequency as the host system
PCI clock input.
