Primary Interface 66MHz Operation.  
This input is used to specify if PI7C8150B is capable of  
running at 66MHz. For 66MHz operation on the Primary  
bus, this signal should be pulled “HIGH”. For 33MHz  
operation on the Primary bus, this signal should be  
pulled LOW. In synchronous mode, S_M66EN will be  
driven LOW, forcing the secondary bus to run at 33MHz  
also. Also, bit [21] offset 04h is determined by CFG66.  
If P_M66EN is LOW, S_M66EN will not be driven  
LOW (please see S_M66EN pin description).  
In asynchronous mode, the logic value of P_M66EN is  
used to generate the value of bit[21] offset 04h.

This is a multiplexed pin that is MSK_IN in  
synchronous mode and ASYNC_CLK_IN in  
asynchronous mode. This pin has a weak internal pull-  
down resistor.  
MSK_IN - Secondary Clock Disable Serial Input  
(synchronous mode): This pin is used by PI7C8150B to  
disable secondary clock outputs. The serial stream is  
received by MSK_IN, starting when P_RESET is  
detected deasserted and S_RESET_L is detected as  
being asserted. The serial data is used for selectively  
disabling secondary clock outputs and is shifted into the  
secondary clock control configuration register. This pin  
can be tied LOW to enable all secondary clock outputs  
or tied HIGH to drive all the secondary clock outputs  
HIGH.  
ASYNC_CLKIN – Secondary Clock Input

must be tied to 3.3V only when all devices on the  
primary bus use 3.3V signaling. Otherwise, P_VIO is  
tied to 5V.  
Secondary I/O Voltage: This pin is used to determine  
either 3.3V or 5V signaling on the secondary bus.  
S_VIO must be tied to 3.3V only when all devices on  
the secondary bus use 3.3V signaling. Otherwise, S_VIO  
is tied to 5V.  
Bus/Power Clock Control Management Pin: When  
this pin is tied HIGH and the PI7C8150B is placed in the  
D3HOT power state, it enables the PI7C8150B to place  
the secondary bus in the B2 power state. The secondary  
clocks are disabled and driven to 0. When this pin is tied  
LOW, there is no effect on the secondary bus clocks  
when the PI7C8150B enters the D3HOT power state.

PCI BUS OPERATION  
This Chapter offers information about PCI transactions, transaction forwarding across  
PI7C8150B, and transaction termination. The PI7C8150B has two 128-byte FIFO’s for  
buffering of upstream and downstream transactions. These hold addresses, data,  
commands, and byte enables that are used for write transactions. The PI7C8150B also has  
an additional four 128-byte FIFO’s that hold addresses, data, commands, and byte enables  
for read transactions.  
3.1  
TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS  
This section provides a summary of PCI transactions performed by PI7C8150B.  
Table 3-1 lists the command code and name of each PCI transaction. The Master and  
Target columns indicate support for each transaction when PI7C8150B initiates  
transactions as a master, on the primary (P) and secondary (S) buses, and when PI7C8150B  
responds to transactions as a target, on the primary (P) and secondary (S) buses.

As indicated in Table 3-1, the following PCI commands are not supported by  
PI7C8150B:  
PI7C8150B never initiates a PCI transaction with a reserved command code and, as a  
target, PI7C8150B ignores reserved command codes.  
PI7C8150B does not generate interrupt acknowledge transactions. PI7C8150B  
ignores interrupt acknowledge transactions as a target.  
PI7C8150B does not respond to special cycle transactions. PI7C8150B cannot  
guarantee delivery of a special cycle transaction to downstream buses because of the  
broadcast nature of the special cycle command and the inability to control the  
transaction as a target. To generate special cycle transactions on other PCI buses,  
either upstream or downstream, Type 1 configuration write must be used.  
PI7C8150B neither generates Type 0 configuration transactions on the primary PCI  
bus nor responds to Type 0 configuration transactions on the secondary PCI buses.

3.2  
SINGLE ADDRESS PHASE  
A 32-bit address uses a single address phase. This address is driven on P_AD[31:0], and  
the bus command is driven on P_CBE[3:0]. PI7C8150B supports the linear increment  
address mode only, which is indicated when the lowest two address bits are equal to zero.  
If either of the lowest two address bits is nonzero, PI7C8150B automatically disconnects  
the transaction after the first data transfer.  
3.3  
3.4  
DEVICE SELECT (DEVSEL_L) GENERATION  
PI7C8150B always performs positive address decoding (medium decode) when accepting  
transactions on either the primary or secondary buses. PI7C8150B never does subtractive  
decode.  
DATA PHASE  
The address phase of a PCI transaction is followed by one or more data phases. A data  
phase is completed when IRDY_L and either TRDY_L or STOP_L are asserted. A  
transfer of data occurs only when both IRDY_L and TRDY_L are asserted during the same  
PCI clock cycle. The last data phase of a transaction is indicated when FRAME_L is de-  
asserted and both TRDY_L and IRDY_L are asserted, or when IRDY_L and STOP_L are  
asserted. See Section 3.8 for further discussion of transaction termination.  
Depending on the command type, PI7C8150B can support multiple data phase PCI  
transactions. For detailed descriptions of how PI7C8150B imposes disconnect boundaries,  
see Section 3.5.4 for write address boundaries and Section 3.6.3 read address boundaries.  
3.5  
WRITE TRANSACTIONS  
Write transactions are treated as either posted write or delayed write transactions. Table  
3-2 shows the method of forwarding used for each type of write operation.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
3.5.1  
MEMORY WRITE TRANSACTIONS  
Posted write forwarding is used for “Memory Write” and “Memory Write and Invalidate”  
transactions.  
When PI7C8150B determines that a memory write transaction is to be forwarded across the  
bridge, PI7C8150B asserts DEVSEL_L with medium timing and TRDY_L in the next  
cycle, provided that enough buffer space is available in the posted memory write queue for  
the address and at least one DWORD of data. Under this condition, PI7C8150B accepts  
write data without obtaining access to the target bus. The PI7C8150B can accept one  
DWORD of write data every PCI clock cycle. That is, no target wait state is inserted. The  
write data is stored in an internal posted write buffers and is subsequently delivered to the  
target. The PI7C8150B continues to accept write data until one of the following events  
occurs:  
The initiator terminates the transaction by de-asserting FRAME# and IRDY#.  
An internal write address boundary is reached, such as a cache line boundary or an  
aligned 4KB boundary, depending on the transaction type.  
The posted write data buffer fills up.  
When one of the last two events occurs, the PI7C8150B returns a target disconnect to the  
requesting initiator on this data phase to terminate the transaction.  
Once the posted write data moves to the head of the posted data queue, PI7C8150B asserts  
its request on the target bus. This can occur while PI7C8150B is still receiving data on the  
initiator bus. When the grant for the target bus is received and the target bus is detected in  
the idle condition, PI7C8150B asserts FRAME_L and drives the stored write address out  
on the target bus. On the following cycle, PI7C8150B drives the first DWORD of write  
data and continues to transfer write data until all write data corresponding to that  
transaction is delivered, or until a target termination is received. As long as write data  
exists in the queue, PI7C8150B can drive one DWORD of write data each PCI clock cycle;  
that is, no master wait states are inserted. If write data is flowing through PI7C8150B and  
the initiator stalls, PI7C8150B will signal the last data phase for the current transaction at  
the target bus if the queue empties. PI7C8150B will restart the follow-on transactions if the  
queue has new data.  
PI7C8150B ends the transaction on the target bus when one of the following conditions is  
met:  
All posted write data has been delivered to the target.  
The target returns a target disconnect or target retry (PI7C8150B starts another  
transaction to deliver the rest of the write data).  
The target returns a target abort (PI7C8150B discards remaining write data).  
The master latency timer expires, and PI7C8150B no longer has the target bus grant  
(PI7C8150B starts another transaction to deliver remaining write data).  
Section 3.8.3.2 provides detailed information about how PI7C8150B responds to target  
termination during posted write transactions.

3.5.2  
MEMORY WRITE AND INVALIDATE  
Posted write forwarding is used for Memory Write and Invalidate transactions.  
If offset 74h bits [8:7] = 11, the PI7C8150B disconnects Memory Write and Invalidate  
commands at aligned cache line boundaries. The cache line size value in the cache line size  
register gives the number of DWORD in a cache line.  
If offset 74h bits [8:7] = 00, the PI7C8150b converts Memory Write and Invalidate  
transactions to Memory Write transactions at the destination.  
If the value in the cache line size register does meet the memory write and invalidate  
conditions, the PI7C8150B returns a target disconnect to the initiator on a cache line  
boundary.  
3.5.3  
DELAYED WRITE TRANSACTIONS  
Delayed write forwarding is used for I/O write transactions and Type 1 configuration write  
transactions.  
A delayed write transaction guarantees that the actual target response is returned back to  
the initiator without holding the initiating bus in wait states. A delayed write transaction is  
limited to a single DWORD data transfer.  
When a write transaction is first detected on the initiator bus, and PI7C8150B forwards it  
as a delayed transaction, PI7C8150B claims the access by asserting DEVSEL_L and  
returns a target retry to the initiator. During the address phase, PI7C8150B samples the bus  
command, address, and address parity one cycle later. After IRDY_L is asserted,  
PI7C8150B also samples the first data DWORD, byte enable bits, and data parity. This  
information is placed into the delayed transaction queue. The transaction is queued only if  
no other existing delayed transactions have the same address and command, and if the  
delayed transaction queue is not full. When the delayed write transaction moves to the head  
of the delayed transaction queue and all ordering constraints with posted data are satisfied.  
The PI7C8150B initiates the transaction on the target bus. PI7C8150B transfers the write  
data to the target. If PI7C8150B receives a target retry in response to the write transaction  
on the target bus, it continues to repeat the write transaction until the data transfer is  
completed, or until an error condition is encountered.  
If PI7C8150B is unable to deliver write data after 224 (default) or 232 (maximum) attempts,  
PI7C8150B will report a system error. PI7C8150B also asserts P_SERR_L if the primary  
SERR_L enable bit is set in the command register. See Section 6.4 for information on the  
assertion of P_SERR_L. When the initiator repeats the same write transaction (same  
command, address, byte enable bits, and data), and the completed delayed transaction is at  
the head of the queue, the PI7C8150B claims the access by asserting DEVSEL_L and  
returns TRDY_L to the initiator, to indicate that the write data was transferred. If the  
initiator requests multiple DWORD, PI7C8150B also asserts STOP_L in conjunction with  
TRDY_L to signal a target disconnect. Note that only those bytes of write data with valid  
byte enable bits are compared. If any of the byte enable bits are turned off (driven HIGH),  
the corresponding byte of write data is not compared.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
If the initiator repeats the write transaction before the data has been transferred to the  
target, PI7C8150B returns a target retry to the initiator. PI7C8150B continues to return a  
target retry to the initiator until write data is delivered to the target, or until an error  
condition is encountered. When the write transaction is repeated, PI7C8150B does not  
make a new entry into the delayed transaction queue. Section 3.8.3.1 provides detailed  
information about how PI7C8150B responds to target termination during delayed write  
transactions.  
PI7C8150B implements a discard timer that starts counting when the delayed write  
completion is at the head of the delayed transaction completion queue.  
The initial value of this timer can be set to the retry counter register offset 78h.  
If the initiator does not repeat the delayed write transaction before the discard  
timer expires, PI7C8150B discards the delayed write completion from the delayed  
transaction completion queue. PI7C8150B also conditionally asserts P_SERR_L  
(see Section 6.4).  
3.5.4  
WRITE TRANSACTION ADDRESS BOUNDARIES  
PI7C8150B imposes internal address boundaries when accepting write data. The aligned  
address boundaries are used to prevent PI7C8150B from continuing a transaction over a  
device address boundary and to provide an upper limit on maximum latency. PI7C78150  
returns a target disconnect to the initiator when it reaches the aligned address boundaries  
under conditions shown in Table 3-3.

configuration space.  
3.5.5  
BUFFERING MULTIPLE WRITE TRANSACTIONS  
PI7C8150B continues to accept posted memory write transactions as long as space for at  
least one DWORD of data in the posted write data buffer remains. If the posted write data  
buffer fills before the initiator terminates the write transaction, PI7C8150B returns a target  
disconnect to the initiator.  
Delayed write transactions are posted as long as at least one open entry in the delayed  
transaction queue exists. Therefore, several posted and delayed write transactions can exist  
in data buffers at the same time. See Chapter 6 for information about how multiple posted  
and delayed write transactions are ordered.

3.5.6  
FAST BACK-TO-BACK TRANSACTIONS  
PI7C8150B can recognize and post fast back-to-back write transactions.  
When PI7C8150B cannot accept the second transaction because of buffer  
space limitations, it returns a target retry to the initiator. The fast back-to-back enable bit  
must be set in the command register for upstream write transactions, and in the bridge  
control register for downstream write transactions.  
3.6  
READ TRANSACTIONS  
Delayed read forwarding is used for all read transactions crossing PI7C8150B. Delayed  
read transactions are treated as either prefetchable or non-prefetchable. Table 3-5 shows the  
read behavior, prefetchable or non-prefetchable, for each type of read operation.  
3.6.1  
PREFETCHABLE READ TRANSACTIONS  
A prefetchable read transaction is a read transaction where PI7C8150B performs  
speculative DWORD reads, transferring data from the target before it is requested from the  
initiator. This behavior allows a prefetchable read transaction to consist of multiple data  
transfers. However, byte enable bits cannot be forwarded for all data phases as is done for  
the single data phase of the non-prefetchable read transaction. For prefetchable read  
transactions, PI7C8150B forces all byte enable bits to be turned on for all data phases.  
Prefetchable behavior is used for memory read line and memory read multiple transactions,  
as well as for memory read transactions that fall into prefetchable memory space.  
The amount of data that is pre-fetched depends on the type of transaction. The amount of  
pre-fetching may also be affected by the amount of free buffer space available in  
PI7C8150B, and by any read address boundaries encountered.  
Pre-fetching should not be used for those read transactions that have side effects in the  
target device, that is, control and status registers, FIFO’s, and so on. The target device’s  
base address register or registers indicate if a memory address region is prefetchable.  
3.6.2  
NON-PREFETCHABLE READ TRANSACTIONS  
A non-prefetchable read transaction is a read transaction where PI7C8150B requests one  
and only one DWORD from the target and disconnects the initiator after delivery of the  
first DWORD of read data. Unlike prefetchable read transactions, PI7C8150B forwards the  
read byte enable information for the data phase.  
Non-prefetchable behavior is used for I/O and configuration read transactions, as well as  
for memory read transactions that fall into non-prefetchable memory space.  
If extra read transactions could have side effects, for example, when accessing a FIFO, use  
non-prefetchable read transactions to those locations. Accordingly, if it is important to  
retain the value of the byte enable bits during the data phase, use non-prefetchable read  
transactions. If these locations are mapped in memory space, use the memory read  
command and map the target into non-prefetchable (memory-mapped I/O) memory space  
to use non-prefetching behavior.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
3.6.3  
READ PREFETCH ADDRESS BOUNDARIES  
PI7C8150B imposes internal read address boundaries on read pre-fetched data. When a  
read transaction reaches one of these aligned address boundaries, the PI7C8150B stops pre-  
fetched data, unless the target signals a target disconnect before the read pre-fetched  
boundary is reached. When PI7C8150B finishes transferring this read data to the initiator,  
it returns a target disconnect with the last data transfer, unless the initiator completes the  
transaction before all pre-fetched read data is delivered. Any leftover pre-fetched data is  
discarded.  
Prefetchable read transactions in flow-through mode pre-fetch to the nearest aligned 4KB  
address boundary, or until the initiator de-asserts FRAME_L. Section 3.6.6 describes flow-  
through mode during read operations.  
Table 3-4 shows the read pre-fetch address boundaries for read transactions during non-  
flow-through mode.

3.6.4  
DELAYED READ REQUESTS  
PI7C8150B treats all read transactions as delayed read transactions, which means  
that the read request from the initiator is posted into a delayed transaction queue.  
Read data from the target is placed in the read data queue directed toward the initiator bus  
interface and is transferred to the initiator when the initiator repeats  
the read transaction.  
Page 28 of 108

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
When PI7C8150B accepts a delayed read request, it first samples the read address, read bus  
command, and address parity. When IRDY_L is asserted, PI7C8150B then samples the  
byte enable bits for the first data phase. This information is entered into the delayed  
transaction queue. PI7C8150B terminates the transaction by signaling a target retry to the  
initiator. Upon reception of the target retry, the initiator is required to continue to repeat the  
same read transaction until at least one data transfer is completed, or until a target response  
(target abort or master abort) other than a target retry is received.  
3.6.5  
DELAYED READ COMPLETION WITH TARGET  
When delayed read request reaches the head of the delayed transaction queue, PI7C8150B  
arbitrates for the target bus and initiates the read transaction only if all previously queued  
posted write transactions have been delivered. PI7C8150B uses the exact read address and  
read command captured from the initiator during the initial delayed read request to initiate  
the read transaction. If the read transaction is a non-prefetchable read, PI7C8150B drives  
the captured byte enable bits during the next cycle. If the transaction is a prefetchable read  
transaction, it drives all byte enable bits to zero for all data phases. If PI7C8150B receives  
a target retry in response to the read transaction on the target bus, it continues to repeat the  
read transaction until at least one data transfer is completed, or until an error condition is  
encountered. If the transaction is terminated via normal master termination or target  
disconnect after at least one data transfer has been completed, PI7C8150B does not initiate  
any further attempts to read more data.  
If PI7C8150B is unable to obtain read data from the target after 224 (default) or 232  
(maximum) attempts, PI7C8150B will report system error. The number of attempts is  
programmable. PI7C8150B also asserts P_SERR_L if the primary SERR_L enable bit is  
set in the command register. See Section 6.4 for information on the assertion of  
P_SERR_L.  
Once PI7C8150B receives DEVSEL_L and TRDY_L from the target, it transfers the data  
read to the opposite direction read data queue, pointing toward the opposite inter-face,  
before terminating the transaction. For example, read data in response to a downstream  
read transaction initiated on the primary bus is placed in the upstream read data queue. The  
PI7C8150B can accept one DWORD of read data each PCI clock cycle; that is, no master  
wait states are inserted. The number of DWORD’s transferred during a delayed read  
transaction depends on the conditions given in Table 3-4 (assuming no disconnect is  
received from the target).  
3.6.6  
DELAYED READ COMPLETION ON INITIATOR BUS  
When the transaction has been completed on the target bus, and the delayed read data is at  
the head of the read data queue, and all ordering constraints with posted write transactions  
have been satisfied, the PI7C8150B transfers the data to the initiator when the initiator  
repeats the transaction. For memory read transactions, PI7C8150B 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.  
PI7C8150B returns a target disconnect along with the transfer of the last DWORD of read  
data to the initiator. If PI7C8150B initiator terminates the transaction before all read data  
has been transferred, the remaining read data left in data buffers is discarded.  
When the master repeats the transaction and starts transferring prefetchable read data from  
data buffers while the read transaction on the target bus is still in progress and before a read

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
boundary is reached on the target bus, the read transaction starts operating in flow-through  
mode. Because data is flowing through the data buffers from the target to the initiator, long  
read bursts can then be sustained. In this case, the read transaction is allowed to continue  
until the initiator terminates the transaction, or until an aligned 4KB address boundary is  
reached, or until the buffer fills, whichever comes first. When the buffer empties,  
PI7C8150B reflects the stalled condition to the initiator by disconnecting the initiator with  
data. The initiator may retry the transaction later if data are needed. If the initiator does not  
need any more data, the initiator will not continue the disconnected transaction. In this  
case, PI7C8150B will start the master timeout timer. The remaining read data will be  
discarded after the master timeout timer expires. To provide better latency, if there are any  
other pending data for other transactions in the RDB (Read Data Buffer), the remaining  
read data will be discarded even though the master timeout timer has not expired.  
PI7C8150B implements a master timeout timer that starts counting when the delayed read  
completion is at the head of the delayed transaction queue, and the read data is at the head  
of the read data queue. The initial value of this timer is programmable through  
configuration register. If the initiator does not repeat the read transaction and before the  
master timeout timer expires (215 default), PI7C8150B discards the read transaction and  
read data from its queues. PI7C8150B also conditionally asserts P_SERR_L (see Section  
6.4).  
PI7C8150B has the capability to post multiple delayed read requests, up to a maximum of  
four in each direction. If an initiator starts a read transaction that matches the address and  
read command of a read transaction that is already queued, the current read command is not  
posted as it is already contained in the delayed transaction queue.  
See Section 5 for a discussion of how delayed read transactions are ordered when crossing  
PI7C8150B.  
3.6.7  
FAST BACK-TO-BACK READ TRANSACTION  
PI7C8150B can recognize fast back-to-back read transactions.  
3.7  
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 in configuration space only.  
In addition to accepting configuration transactions for initialization of its own  
configuration space, the PI7C8150B also forwards configuration transactions for device  
initialization in hierarchical PCI systems, as well as for special cycle generation.  
To support hierarchical PCI bus systems, two types of configuration transactions are  
specified: Type 0 and Type 1.  
Type 0 configuration transactions are issued when the intended target resides on the same  
PCI bus as the initiator. A Type 0 configuration transaction is identified by the  
configuration command and the lowest two bits of the address set to 00b.  
Type 1 configuration transactions are issued when the intended target resides on another  
PCI bus, or when a special cycle is to be generated on another PCI bus. A Type 1

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
configuration command is identified by the configuration command and the lowest two  
address bits set to 01b.  
The register number is found in both Type 0 and Type 1 formats and gives 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 multifunction device  
is to be accessed. For single-function devices, this value is not decoded. The addresses of  
Type 1 configuration transaction include a 5-bit field designating the device number that  
identifies the device on the target PCI bus that is to be accessed. In addition, the bus  
number in Type 1 transactions specifies the PCI bus to which the transaction is targeted.  
3.7.1  
TYPE 0 ACCESS TO PI7C8150B  
The configuration space is accessed by a Type 0 configuration transaction on the primary  
interface. The configuration space cannot be accessed from the secondary bus. The  
PI7C8150B responds to a Type 0 configuration transaction by asserting P_DEVSEL_L  
when the following conditions are met during the address phase:  
The bus command is a configuration read or configuration write transaction.  
Lowest two address bits P_AD[1:0] must be 00b.  
Signal P_IDSEL must be asserted.  
PI7C8150B limits all configuration access to a single DWORD data transfer and returns  
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 value of the byte enable bits.  
Type 0 configuration write and read transactions do not use data buffers; that is, these  
transactions are completed immediately, regardless of the state of the data buffers. The  
PI7C8150B ignores all Type 0 transactions initiated on the secondary interface.  
3.7.2  
TYPE 1 TO TYPE 0 CONVERSION  
Type 1 configuration transactions are used specifically 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.  
PI7C8150B 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. PI7C8150B must convert the configuration command to a Type 0 format so that the  
secondary bus device can respond to it. Type 1 to Type 0 translations are performed only in  
the downstream direction; that is, PI7C8150B generates a Type 0 transaction only on the  
secondary bus, and never on the primary bus.  
PI7C8150B responds to a Type 1 configuration transaction and translates it into a Type 0  
transaction on the secondary bus when the following conditions are met during the address  
phase:

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
The lowest two address bits on P_AD[1:0] are 01b.  
The bus number in address field P_AD[23:16] is equal to the value in the secondary  
bus number register in configuration space.  
The bus command on P_CBE[3:0] is a configuration read or configuration write  
transaction.  
When PI7C8150B translates the Type 1 transaction to a Type 0 transaction on the  
secondary interface, it performs the following translations to the address:  
Sets the lowest two address bits on S_AD[1:0].  
Decodes the device number and drives the bit pattern specified in Table 3-6 on  
S_AD[31:16] for the purpose of asserting the device’s IDSEL signal.  
Sets S_AD[15:11] to 0.  
Leaves unchanged the function number and register number fields.  
PI7C8150B asserts a unique address line based on the device number. These address lines  
may be used as secondary bus IDSEL signals. The mapping of the address lines depends on  
the device number in the Type 1 address bits P_AD[15:11]. presents the mapping that  
PI7C8150B uses.

PI7C8150B can assert up to 9 unique address lines to be used as IDSEL signals for  
up to 9 devices on the secondary bus, for device numbers ranging from 0 through 8.  
Because of electrical loading constraints of the PCI bus, more than 9 IDSEL signals should  
not be necessary. However, if device numbers greater than 9 are desired, some external  
method of generating IDSEL lines must be used, and no upper address bits are then  
asserted. The configuration transaction is still translated and passed from the primary bus to  
the secondary bus. If no IDSEL pin is asserted to a secondary device, the transaction ends  
in a master abort.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
PI7C8150B 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.  
3.7.3  
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 PI7C8150B detects a Type 1 configuration transaction intended for a PCI bus  
downstream from the secondary bus, PI7C8150B 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:  
The lowest two address bits are equal to 01b.  
The bus number falls in the range defined by the lower limit (exclusive) in the  
secondary bus number register and the upper limit (inclusive) in the subordinate bus  
number register.  
The bus command is a configuration read or write transaction.  
PI7C8150B also supports Type 1 to Type 1 forwarding of configuration write transactions  
upstream to support upstream special cycle generation. A Type 1 configuration command  
is forwarded upstream when the following conditions  
are met:  
The lowest two address bits are equal to 01b.  
The bus number falls outside the range defined by the lower limit (inclusive) in the  
secondary bus number register and the upper limit (inclusive) in the subordinate bus  
number register.  
The device number in address bits AD[15:11] is equal to 11111b.  
The function number in address bits AD[10:8] is equal to 111b.  
The bus command is a configuration write transaction.  
The PI7C8150B forwards Type 1 to Type 1 configuration write transactions as delayed  
transactions. Type 1 to Type 1 configuration write transactions are limited to a single data  
transfer.  
3.7.4  
SPECIAL CYCLES  
The Type 1 configuration mechanism is used to generate special cycle transactions in  
hierarchical PCI systems. Special cycle transactions are ignored by acting as a target and  
are not forwarded across the bridge. Special cycle transactions can be generated from Type  
1 configuration write transactions in either the upstream or the down-stream direction.  
Page 33 of 108  
APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
PI7C8150B initiates a special cycle on the target bus when a Type 1 configuration write  
transaction is being detected on the initiating bus and the following conditions are met  
during the address phase:  
The lowest two address bits on AD[1:0] are equal to 01b.  
The device number in address bits AD[15:11] is equal to 11111b.  
The function number in address bits AD[10:8] is equal to 111b.  
The register number in address bits AD[7:2] is equal to 000000b.  
The bus number is equal to the value in the secondary bus number register in  
configuration space for downstream forwarding or equal to the value in the primary  
bus number register in configuration space for upstream forwarding.  
The bus command on CBE_L is a configuration write command.  
When PI7C8150B initiates the transaction on the target interface, the bus command is  
changed from configuration write to special cycle. The address and data are for-warded  
unchanged. Devices that use special cycles 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, but in this case the target response is not forwarded  
back (because special cycles result in a master abort). Once the transaction is completed on  
the target bus, through detection of the master abort condition, PI7C8150B responds with  
TRDY_L to the next attempt of the con-figuration transaction from the initiator. If more  
than one data transfer is requested, PI7C8150B responds with a target disconnect operation  
during the first data phase.  
3.8  
TRANSACTION TERMINATION  
This section describes how PI7C8150B returns transaction termination conditions back to  
the initiator.  
The initiator can terminate transactions with one of the following types of termination:  
Normal termination  
Normal termination occurs when the initiator de-asserts FRAME_L at the beginning of the  
last data phase, and de-asserts IRDY# at the end of the last data phase in conjunction with  
either TRDY_L or STOP_L assertion from the target.  
Master abort  
A master abort occurs when no target response is detected. When the initiator does not  
detect a DEVSEL_L from the target within five clock cycles after asserting FRAME_L, the  
initiator terminates the transaction with a master abort. If FRAME_L is still asserted, the  
initiator de-asserts FRAME_L on the next cycle, and then de-asserts IRDY_L on the  
following cycle. IRDY_L must be asserted in the same cycle in which FRAME_L de-  
asserts. If FRAME_L is already de-asserted, IRDY_L can be de-asserted on the next clock  
cycle following detection of the master abort condition.

APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
The target can terminate transactions with one of the following types of termination:  
Normal termination  
TRDY_L and DEVSEL_L asserted in conjunction with FRAME_L de-asserted and  
IRDY_L asserted.  
Target retry  
STOP_L and DEVSEL_L asserted with TRDY_L de-asserted during the first data phase.  
No data transfers occur during the transaction. This transaction must be repeated.  
Target disconnect with data transfer  
STOP_L, DEVSEL_L and TRDY_L asserted. It signals that this is the last data transfer of  
the transaction.  
Target disconnect without data transfer  
STOP_L and DEVSEL_L asserted with TRDY_L de-asserted after previous data transfers  
have been made. Indicates that no more data transfers will be made during this transaction.  
Target abort  
STOP_L asserted with DEVSEL_L and TRDY_L de-asserted. Indicates that target will  
never be able to complete this transaction. DEVSEL_L must be asserted for at least one  
cycle during the transaction before the target abort is signaled.  
3.8.1  
MASTER TERMINATION INITIATED BY PI7C8150B  
PI7C8150B, as an initiator, uses normal termination if DEVSEL_L is returned by target  
within five clock cycles of PI7C8150B’s assertion of FRAME_L on the target bus. As an  
initiator, PI7C8150B terminates a transaction when the following conditions are met:  
During a delayed write transaction, a single DWORD is delivered.  
During a non-prefetchable read transaction, a single DWORD is transferred from the  
target.  
During a prefetchable read transaction, a pre-fetch boundary is reached.  
For a posted write transaction, all write data for the transaction is transferred from data  
buffers to the target.  
For burst transfer, with the exception of “Memory Write and Invalidate” transactions,  
the master latency timer expires and the PI7C8150B’s bus grant is de-asserted.  
The target terminates the transaction with a retry, disconnect, or target abort.  
If PI7C8150B is delivering posted write data when it terminates the transaction because the  
master latency timer expires, it initiates another transaction to deliver the remaining write  
data. The address of the transaction is updated to reflect the address of the current DWORD  
to be delivered.  
If PI7C8150B is pre-fetching read data when it terminates the transaction because the  
master latency timer expires, it does not repeat the transaction to obtain more data.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
3.8.2  
MASTER ABORT RECEIVED BY PI7C8150B  
If the initiator initiates a transaction on the target bus and does not detect DEVSEL_L  
returned by the target within five clock cycles of the assertion of FRAME_L, PI7C8150B  
terminates the transaction with a master abort. This sets the received-master-abort bit in the  
status register corresponding to the target bus.  
For delayed read and write transactions, PI7C8150B is able to reflect the master abort  
condition back to the initiator. When PI7C8150B detects a master abort in response to a  
delayed transaction, and when the initiator repeats the transaction, PI7C8150B does not  
respond to the transaction with DEVSEL_L, which induces the master abort condition back  
to the initiator. The transaction is then removed from the delayed transaction queue. When  
a master abort is received in response to a posted write transaction, PI7C8150B discards  
the posted write data and makes no more attempts to deliver the data. PI7C8150B sets the  
received-master-abort bit in the status register when the master abort is received on the  
primary bus, or it sets the received master abort bit in the secondary status register when  
the master abort is received on the secondary interface. When master abort is detected in  
posted write transaction with both master-abort-mode bit (bit 5 of bridge control register)  
and the SERR_L enable bit (bit 8 of command register for secondary bus) are set,  
PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L if the master-abort-on-posted-write is not set. The master-  
abort-on-posted-write bit is bit 4 of the P_SERR_L event disable register (offset 64h).  
Note: When PI7C8150B performs a Type 1 to special cycle conversion, a master abort is  
the expected termination for the special cycle on the target bus. In this case, the master  
abort received bit is not set, and the Type 1 configuration transaction is disconnected after  
the first data phase.  
3.8.3  
TARGET TERMINATION RECEIVED BY PI7C8150B  
When PI7C8150B initiates a transaction on the target bus and the target responds with  
DEVSEL_L, the target can end the transaction with one of the following types of  
termination:  
Normal termination (upon de-assertion of FRAME_L)  
Target retry  
Target disconnect  
Target abort  
PI7C8150B handles these terminations in different ways, depending on the type of  
transaction being performed.  
3.8.3.1  
DELAYED WRITE TARGET TERMINATION RESPONSE  
When PI7C8150B initiates a delayed write transaction, the type of target termination  
received from the target can be passed back to the initiator. Table 3-7 shows the response  
to each type of target termination that occurs during a delayed write transaction.  
PI7C8150B repeats a delayed write transaction until one of the following conditions is met:  
PI7C8150B completes at least one data transfer.  
PI7C8150B receives a master abort.  
PI7C8150B receives a target abort.

After the PI7C8150B makes 224 (default) attempts of the same delayed write trans-action  
on the target bus, PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L if the SERR_L enable bit (bit 8 of  
command register for the secondary bus) is set and the delayed-write-non-delivery bit is  
not set. The delayed-write-non-delivery bit is bit 5 of P_SERR_L event disable register  
(offset 64h). PI7C8150B will report system error. See Section 6.4 for a description of  
system error conditions.  
3.8.3.2  
POSTED WRITE TARGET TERMINATION RESPONSE  
When PI7C8150B initiates a posted write transaction, the target termination cannot be  
passed back to the initiator. Table 3-8 shows the response to each type of target  
termination that occurs during a posted write transaction.  
Table 3-8. Response to Posted Write Target Termination

Target Abort  
Initiate write transaction for delivering remaining posted write data.  
Set received-target-abort bit in the target interface status register. Assert  
P_SERR# if enabled, and set the signaled-system-error bit in primary status  
register.  
Note that when a target retry or target disconnect is returned and posted write data  
associated with that transaction remains in the write buffers, PI7C8150B initiates another  
write transaction to attempt to deliver the rest of the write data. If there is a target retry, the  
exact same address will be driven as for the initial write trans-action attempt. If a target  
disconnect is received, the address that is driven on a subsequent write transaction attempt  
will be updated to reflect the address of the current DWORD. If the initial write transaction  
is Memory-Write-and-Invalidate transaction, and a partial delivery of write data to the  
target is performed before a target disconnect is received, PI7C8150B will use the memory  
write command to deliver the rest of the write data. It is because an incomplete cache line  
will be transferred in the subsequent write transaction attempt.  
After the PI7C8150B makes 224 (default) write transaction attempts and fails to deliver all  
posted write data associated with that transaction, PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L if the  
primary SERR_L enable bit is set (bit 8 of command register for secondary bus) and  
posted-write-non-delivery bit is not set. The posted-write-non-delivery bit is the bit 2 of  
P_SERR_L event disable register (offset 64h). PI7C8150B will report system error. See  
Section 6.4 for a discussion of system error conditions.

DELAYED READ TARGET TERMINATION RESPONSE  
When PI7C8150B initiates a delayed read transaction, the abnormal target responses can be  
passed back to the initiator. Other target responses depend on how much data the initiator  
requests. Table 3-9 shows the response to each type of target termination that occurs  
during a delayed read transaction.  
PI7C8150B repeats a delayed read transaction until one of the following conditions is met:  
PI7C8150B completes at least one data transfer.  
PI7C8150B receives a master abort.  
PI7C8150B receives a target abort.  
PI7C8150B makes 224 (default) read attempts resulting in a response of target retry.  
Table 3-9. Response to Delayed Read Target Termination  
Target Termination  
Response

If initiator requests more data than read from target, return target disconnect to  
initiator.  
Target Abort  
Return target abort to initiator. Set received target abort bit in the target  
interface status register. Set signaled target abort bit in the initiator interface  
status register.  
After PI7C8150B makes 224(default) attempts of the same delayed read transaction on the  
target bus, PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L if the primary SERR_L enable bit is set (bit 8 of  
command register for secondary bus) and the delayed-write-non-delivery bit is not set. The  
delayed-write-non-delivery bit is bit 5 of P_SERR_L event disable register (offset 64h).  
PI7C8150B will report system error. See Section 6.4 for a description of system error  
conditions.  
3.8.4  
TARGET TERMINATION INITIATED BY PI7C8150B  
PI7C8150B can return a target retry, target disconnect, or target abort to an initiator for  
reasons other than detection of that condition at the target interface.  
3.8.4.1  
TARGET RETRY  
PI7C8150B returns a target retry to the initiator when it cannot accept write data or return  
read data as a result of internal conditions. PI7C8150B returns a target retry to an initiator  
when any of the following conditions is met:  
For delayed write transactions:  
The transaction is being entered into the delayed transaction queue.  
Transaction has already been entered into delayed transaction queue, but target  
response has not yet been received.  
Target response has been received but has not progressed to the head of the return  
queue.

PI7C78150B is currently discarding previously pre-fetched read data.  
The target bus is locked and the write transaction is a locked transaction.  
Use more than 16 clocks to accept this transaction.  
For posted write transactions:  
The posted write data buffer does not have enough space for address and at least one  
DWORD of write data.  
A locked sequence is being propagated across PI7C8150B, and the write transaction is  
not a locked transaction.  
When a target retry is returned to the initiator of a delayed transaction, the initiator  
must repeat the transaction with the same address and bus command as well as the data  
if it is a write transaction, within the time frame specified by the master timeout value.  
Otherwise, the transaction is discarded from the buffers.

PI7C8150B returns a target abort to an initiator when one of the following conditions is  
met:  
PI7C8150B is returning a target abort from the intended target.  
When PI7C8150B returns a target abort to the initiator, it sets the signaled target abort  
bit in the status register corresponding to the initiator interface.

ADDRESS DECODING  
PI7C8150B uses three address ranges that control I/O and memory transaction forwarding.  
These address ranges are defined by base and limit address registers in the configuration  
space. This chapter describes these address ranges, as well as ISA-mode and VGA-  
addressing support.  
4.1  
ADDRESS RANGES  
PI7C8150B uses the following address ranges that determine which I/O and memory  
transactions are forwarded from the primary PCI bus to the secondary PCI bus, and from  
the secondary bus to the primary bus:  
Two 32-bit I/O address ranges  
Two 32-bit memory-mapped I/O (non-prefetchable memory) ranges  
Two 32-bit prefetchable memory address ranges  
Transactions falling within these ranges are forwarded downstream from the primary PCI  
bus to the secondary PCI bus. Transactions falling outside these ranges are forwarded  
upstream from the secondary PCI bus to the primary PCI bus.  
No address translation is required in PI7C8150B. The addresses that are not marked for  
downstream are always forwarded upstream.  
4.2  
I/O ADDRESS DECODING  
PI7C8150B uses the following mechanisms that are defined in the configuration space to  
specify the I/O address space for downstream and upstream forwarding:

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
I/O base and limit address registers  
The ISA enable bit  
The VGA mode bit  
The VGA snoop bit  
This section provides information on the I/O address registers and ISA mode. Section 4.4  
provides information on the VGA modes.  
To enable downstream forwarding of I/O transactions, the I/O enable bit must be set in the  
command register in configuration space. All I/O transactions initiated on the primary bus  
will be ignored if the I/O enable bit is not set. To enable upstream forwarding of I/O  
transactions, the master enable bit must be set in the command register. If the master-  
enable bit is not set, PI7C8150B ignores all I/O and memory transactions initiated on the  
secondary bus.  
The master-enable bit also allows upstream forwarding of memory transactions if it is set.  
CAUTION  
If any configuration state affecting I/O transaction forwarding is changed by a  
configuration write operation on the primary bus at the same time that I/O transactions are  
ongoing on the secondary bus, PI7C8150B response to the secondary bus I/O transactions  
is not predictable. Configure the I/O base and limit address registers, ISA enable bit, VGA  
mode bit, and VGA snoop bit before setting I/O enable and master enable bits, and change  
them subsequently only when the primary and secondary PCI buses are idle.  
4.2.1  
I/O BASE AND LIMIT ADDRESS REGISTER  
PI7C8150B implements one set of I/O base and limit address registers in configuration  
space that define an I/O address range per port downstream forwarding. PI7C8150B  
supports 32-bit I/O addressing, which allows I/O addresses downstream of PI7C8150B to  
be mapped anywhere in a 4GB I/O address space.  
I/O transactions with addresses that fall inside the range defined by the I/O base and limit  
registers are forwarded downstream from the primary PCI bus to the secondary PCI bus.  
I/O transactions with addresses that fall outside this range are forwarded upstream from the  
secondary PCI bus to the primary PCI bus.  
The I/O range can be turned off 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 turned off, all I/O trans-actions are  
forwarded upstream, and no I/O transactions are forwarded downstream. The I/O range has  
a minimum granularity of 4KB and is aligned on a 4KB boundary. The maximum I/O  
range is 4GB in size. The I/O base register consists of an 8-bit field at configuration  
address 1Ch, and a 16-bit field at address 30h. The top 4 bits of the 8-bit field define bits  
[15:12] of the I/O base address. The bottom 4 bits read only as 1h to indicate that  
PI7C8150B supports 32-bit I/O addressing. Bits [11:0] of the base address are assumed to  
be 0, which naturally aligns the base address to a 4KB boundary. The 16 bits contained in  
the I/O base upper 16 bits register at configuration offset 30h define AD[31:16] of the I/O  
base address. All 16 bits are read/write. After primary bus reset or chip reset, the value  
of the I/O base address is initialized to 0000 0000h.  
Page 41 of 108  
APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
The I/O limit register consists of an 8-bit field at configuration offset 1Dh and a 16-bit field  
at offset 32h. The top 4 bits of the 8-bit field define bits [15:12] of the I/O limit address.  
The bottom 4 bits read only as 1h to indicate that 32-bit I/O addressing is supported. Bits  
[11:0] of the limit address are assumed to be FFFh, which naturally aligns the limit address  
to the top of a 4KB I/O address block. The 16 bits contained in the I/O limit upper 16 bits  
register at configuration offset 32h define AD[31:16] of the I/O limit address. All 16 bits  
are read/write. After primary bus reset or chip reset, the value of the I/O limit address is  
reset to 0000 0FFFh.  
Note: The initial states of the I/O base and I/O limit address registers define an I/O range  
of 0000 0000h to 0000 0FFFh, which is the bottom 4KB of I/O space. Write these registers  
with their appropriate values before setting either the I/O enable bit or the master enable bit  
in the command register in configuration space.  
4.2.2  
ISA MODE  
PI7C8150B supports ISA mode by providing an ISA enable bit in the bridge control  
register in configuration space. ISA mode modifies the response of PI7C8150B inside the  
I/O address range in order to support mapping of I/O space in the presence of an ISA bus in  
the system. This bit only affects the response of PI7C8150B when the transaction falls  
inside the address range defined by the I/O base and limit address registers, and only when  
this address also falls inside the first 64KB of I/O space (address bits [31:16] are 0000h).  
When the ISA enable bit is set, PI7C8150B does not forward downstream any I/O  
transactions addressing the top 768 bytes of each aligned 1KB block. Only those  
transactions addressing the bottom 256 bytes of an aligned 1KB block inside the base and  
limit I/O address range are forwarded downstream. Transactions above the 64KB I/O  
address boundary are forwarded as defined by the address range defined by the I/O base  
and limit registers.  
Accordingly, if the ISA enable bit is set, PI7C8150B forwards upstream those I/O  
transactions addressing the top 768 bytes of each aligned 1KB block within the first 64KB  
of I/O space. The master enable bit in the command configuration register must also be set  
to enable upstream forwarding. All other I/O transactions initiated on the secondary bus are  
forwarded upstream only if they fall outside the I/O address range.  
When the ISA enable bit is set, devices downstream of PI7C8150B can have I/O space  
mapped into the first 256 bytes of each 1KB chunk below the 64KB boundary, or anywhere  
in I/O space above the 64KB boundary.  
4.3  
MEMORY ADDRESS DECODING  
PI7C8150B has three mechanisms for defining memory address ranges for forwarding of  
memory transactions:  
Memory-mapped I/O base and limit address registers  
Prefetchable memory base and limit address registers  
VGA mode  
Page 42 of 108  
APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
This section describes the first two mechanisms. Section 4.4.1 describes VGA mode. To  
enable downstream forwarding of memory transactions, the memory enable bit must be set  
in the command register in configuration space. To enable upstream forwarding of memory  
transactions, the master-enable bit must be set in the command register. The master-enable  
bit also allows upstream forwarding of I/O transactions if it is set.  
CAUTION  
If any configuration state affecting memory transaction forwarding is changed by a  
configuration write operation on the primary bus at the same time that memory  
transactions are ongoing on the secondary bus, response to the secondary bus memory  
transactions is not predictable. Configure the memory-mapped I/O base and limit address  
registers, prefetchable memory base and limit address registers, and VGA mode bit before  
setting the memory enable and master enable bits, and change them subsequently only  
when the primary and secondary PCI buses are idle.  
4.3.1  
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 automatically be pre-fetched but that can be conditionally pre-fetched based on  
command type should be mapped into this space. Read transactions to non-prefetchable  
space may exhibit side effects; this space may have non-memory-like behavior.  
PI7C8150B 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 address and memory-mapped I/O limit address registers  
define an address range that PI7C8150B uses to determine when to forward memory  
commands. PI7C8150B forwards a memory transaction from the primary to the secondary  
interface if the transaction address falls within the memory-mapped I/O address range.  
PI7C8150B ignores memory transactions initiated on the secondary interface that fall into  
this address range. Any transactions that fall outside this address range are ignored on the  
primary interface and are forwarded upstream from the secondary interface (provided that  
they do not fall into the prefetchable memory range or are not forwarded downstream by  
the VGA mechanism).  
The memory-mapped I/O range supports 32-bit addressing only. The PCI-to-PCI Bridge  
Architecture Specification 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  
1MB. The maximum memory-mapped I/O address range is 4GB.  
The memory-mapped I/O address range is defined by a 16-bit memory-mapped I/O base  
address register at configuration offset 20h and by a 16-bit memory-mapped I/O limit  
address register at offset 22h. The top 12 bits of each of these registers correspond to bits  
[31:20] of the memory address. The low 4 bits are hardwired to 0. The lowest 20 bits of the  
memory-mapped I/O base address are assumed to be 0 0000h, which results in a natural  
alignment to a 1MB boundary. The lowest 20 bits of the memory-mapped I/O limit address  
are assumed to be FFFFFh, which results in an alignment to the top of a 1MB block.  
Note: The initial state of the memory-mapped I/O base address register is 0000 0000h. The  
initial state of the memory-mapped I/O limit address register is 000F FFFFh. Note that the  
initial states of these registers define a memory-mapped I/O range at the bottom 1MB block  
of memory. Write these registers with their appropriate values before setting either the  
memory enable bit or the master enable bit in the command register in configuration space.

APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
To turn off 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.  
4.3.2  
PREFETCHABLE MEMORY BASE AND LIMIT ADDRESS  
REGISTERS  
Locations accessed in the prefetchable memory address range must have true memory-like  
behavior and must not exhibit side effects when read. This means that extra reads to a  
prefetchable memory location must have no side effects. PI7C8150B pre-fetches for all  
types of memory read commands in this address space.  
The prefetchable memory base address and prefetchable memory limit address registers  
define an address range that PI7C8150B uses to determine when to forward memory  
commands. PI7C8150B forwards a memory transaction from the primary to the secondary  
interface if the transaction address falls within the prefetchable memory address range.  
PI7C8150B ignores memory transactions initiated on the secondary interface that fall into  
this address range. PI7C8150B does not respond to any transactions that fall outside this  
address range on the primary interface and forwards those transactions upstream from the  
secondary interface (provided that they do not fall into the memory-mapped I/O range or  
are not forwarded by the VGA mechanism).  
The prefetchable memory range supports 64-bit addressing and provides additional  
registers to define the upper 32 bits of the memory address range, the prefetchable memory  
base address upper 32 bits register, and the prefetchable memory limit address upper 32  
bits register. For address comparison, a single address cycle (32-bit address) prefetchable  
memory transaction is treated like a 64-bit address transaction where the upper 32 bits of  
the address are equal to 0. This upper 32-bit value of 0 is compared to the prefetchable  
memory base address upper 32 bits register and the prefetchable memory limit address  
upper 32 bits register. The prefetchable memory base address upper 32 bits register must be  
0 to pass any single address cycle transactions downstream.  
Prefetchable memory address range has a granularity and alignment of 1MB. Maximum  
memory address range is 4GB when 32-bit addressing is being used. Prefetchable memory  
address range is defined by a 16-bit prefetchable memory base address register at  
configuration offset 24h and by a 16-bit prefetchable memory limit address register at  
offset 26h. The top 12 bits of each of these registers correspond to bits [31:20] of the  
memory address. The lowest 4 bits are hardwired to 1h. The lowest 20 bits of the  
prefetchable memory base address are assumed to be 0 0000h, which results in a natural  
alignment to a 1MB boundary. The lowest 20 bits of the prefetchable memory limit address  
are assumed to be FFFFFh, which results in an alignment to the top of a 1MB block.  
Note: The initial state of the prefetchable memory base address register is 0000 0000h. The  
initial state of the prefetchable memory limit address register is 000F FFFFh. Note that the  
initial states of these registers define a prefetchable memory range at the bottom 1MB  
block of memory. Write these registers with their appropriate values before setting either  
the memory enable bit or the master enable bit in the command register in configuration  
space.  
To turn off 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 value must be greater than the entire limit value, meaning that the

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
upper 32 bits must be considered. Therefore, to disable the address range, the upper 32 bits  
registers can both be set to the same value, while the lower base register is set greater than  
the lower limit register. Otherwise, the upper 32-bit base must be greater than the upper 32-  
bit limit.  
4.4  
VGA SUPPORT  
PI7C8150B provides two modes for VGA support:  
VGA mode, supporting VGA-compatible addressing  
VGA snoop mode, supporting VGA palette forwarding  
4.4.1  
VGA MODE  
When a VGA-compatible device exists downstream from PI7C8150B, set the VGA mode  
bit in the bridge control register in configuration space to enable VGA mode. When  
PI7C8150B is operating in VGA mode, it forwards downstream those transactions  
addressing the VGA frame buffer memory and VGA I/O registers, regardless of the values  
of the base and limit address registers. PI7C8150B ignores transactions initiated on the  
secondary interface addressing these locations.  
The VGA frame buffer consists of the following memory address range:  
000A 0000h–000B FFFFh  
Read transactions to frame buffer memory are treated as non-prefetchable. PI7C8150B  
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 are in the range of 3B0h–3BBh and 3C0h–3DFh I/O. These I/O  
addresses are aliases every 1KB throughout the first 64KB of I/O space. This means that  
address bits <15:10> are not decoded and can be any value, while address bits [31:16] must  
be all 0’s. VGA BIOS addresses starting at C0000h are not decoded in VGA mode.  
4.4.2  
VGA SNOOP MODE  
PI7C8150B provides VGA snoop mode, allowing for VGA palette write transactions to be  
forwarded downstream. This mode is used when a graphics device downstream from  
PI7C8150B needs to snoop or respond to VGA palette write transactions. To enable the  
mode, set the VGA snoop bit in the command register in configuration space. Note that  
PI7C8150B claims VGA palette write transactions by asserting DEVSEL_L in VGA snoop  
mode.  
When VGA snoop bit is set, PI7C8150B forwards downstream transactions within the  
3C6h, 3C8h and 3C9h I/O addresses space. Note that these addresses are also forwarded as  
part of the VGA compatibility mode previously described. Again, address bits <15:10> are  
not decoded, while address bits <31:16> must be equal to 0, which means that these  
addresses are aliases every 1KB throughout the first 64KB of I/O space.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
Note: If both the VGA mode bit and the VGA snoop bit are set, PI7C8150B behaves in the  
same way as if only the VGA mode bit were set.

TRANSACTION ORDERING  
To maintain data coherency and consistency, PI7C8150B complies with the ordering rules  
set forth in the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3, for transactions crossing the  
bridge. This chapter describes the ordering rules that control transaction forwarding across  
PI7C8150B.  
5.1  
TRANSACTIONS GOVERNED BY ORDERING RULES  
Ordering relationships are established for the following classes of transactions crossing  
PI7C8150B:  
Posted write transactions, comprised of memory write and memory write and  
invalidate transactions.  
Posted write transactions complete at the source before they complete at the destination;  
that is, data is written into intermediate data buffers before it reaches the target.  
Delayed write request transactions, comprised of I/O write and configuration write  
transactions.  
Delayed write requests are terminated by target retry on the initiator bus and  
are queued in the delayed transaction queue. A delayed write transaction must complete on  
the target bus before it completes on the initiator bus.  
Delayed write completion transactions, comprised of I/O write and configuration  
write transactions.  
Delayed write completion transactions complete on the target bus, and the target response  
is queued in the buffers. A delayed write completion transaction proceeds  
in the direction opposite that of the original delayed write request; that is, a delayed write  
completion transaction proceeds from the target bus to the initiator bus.  
Delayed read request transactions, comprised of all memory read, I/O read, and  
configuration read transactions.  
Delayed read requests are terminated by target retry on the initiator bus and are queued in  
the delayed transaction queue.  
Delayed read completion transactions, comprised of all memory read, I/O read, &  
configuration read transactions.  
Delayed read completion transactions complete on the target bus, and the read data is  
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, a delayed read  
completion transaction proceeds from the target bus to the initiator bus.  
PI7C8150B does not combine or merge write transactions:  
PI7C8150B does not combine separate write transactions into a single write  
transaction—this optimization is best implemented in the originating master.  
Page 46 of 108  
APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
PI7C8150B does not merge bytes on separate masked write transactions to the same  
DWORD address—this optimization is also best implemented in the originating  
master.  
PI7C8150B does not collapse sequential write transactions to the same address into a  
single write transaction—the PCI Local Bus Specification does not permit this  
combining of transactions.  
5.2  
GENERAL ORDERING GUIDELINES  
Independent transactions on primary and secondary buses have a relationship only when  
those transactions cross PI7C8150B.  
The following general ordering guidelines govern transactions crossing PI7C8150B:  
The 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 target retry can be accepted and completed in any order with  
respect to other transactions that have been terminated with 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 has been completed. If more than one delayed  
transaction is initiated, the initiator should repeat all delayed transaction requests,  
using some fairness algorithm. Repeating a delayed transaction cannot be contingent  
on completion of another delayed transaction. Otherwise, a deadlock can occur.  
Write transactions flowing in one direction have no ordering requirements with respect  
to write transactions flowing in the other direction. PI7C8150B can accept posted write  
transactions on both interfaces at the same time, as well as initiate posted write  
transactions on both interfaces at the same time.  
The acceptance of a posted memory write transaction as a target can never be  
contingent on the completion of a non-locked, non-posted transaction as a master. This  
is true for PI7C8150B and must also be true for other bus agents. Otherwise, a  
deadlock can occur.  
PI7C8150B accepts posted write transactions, regardless of the state of completion of  
any delayed transactions being forwarded across PI7C8150B.

Note: The superscript accompanying some of the table entries refers to any applicable  
ordering rule listed in this section. Many entries are not governed by these ordering rules;  
therefore, the implementation can choose whether or not the transactions pass each other.  
The entries without superscripts reflect the PI7C8150B’s implementation choices.  
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 5-1.  
These ordering rules apply to posted write transactions, delayed write and read requests,  
and delayed write and read completion transactions crossing PI7C8150B in the same  
direction. Note that delayed completion transactions cross PI7C8150B in the direction  
opposite that of the corresponding delayed requests.  
1. Posted write transactions must complete on the target bus in the order in which they  
were received on the initiator bus. The subsequent posted write transaction can 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, a device checking the flag could subsequently  
consume stale data.  
2. A delayed read request traveling in the same direction as a previously queued posted  
write transaction 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 can be to the same location as the write data, so if the read  
transaction were to pass the write transaction, it would return stale data.  
3. A delayed read completion 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 PI7C8150B  
as the target of the write transaction. The posted write transaction must complete to the  
target before the read data is returned to the initiator. The read transaction can be a reading  
to a status register of the initiator of the posted write data and therefore should not  
complete until the write transaction is complete.  
4. Delayed write requests cannot pass previously queued posted write data. For posted  
memory write transactions, the delayed write transaction can set a flag that covers the data  
in the posted write transaction. If the delayed write request were to complete before the  
earlier posted write transaction, a device checking the flag could subsequently consume  
stale data.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
5. Posted write transactions must be given opportunities to pass delayed read and write  
requests and completions. Otherwise, deadlocks may occur when some bridges which  
support delayed transactions and other bridges which do not support delayed transactions  
are being used in the same system. A fairness algorithm is used to arbitrate between the  
posted write queue and the delayed transaction queue.  
5.4  
DATA SYNCHRONIZATION  
Data synchronization refers to the relationship between interrupt signaling and data  
delivery. The PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3, provides the following alternative  
methods for synchronizing data and interrupts:  
The device signaling the interrupt performs a read of the data just written (software).  
The 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.  
PI7C8150B 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, either from the device to the location just written (or some other location  
along the same path), or from the device driver to one of the device registers.

ERROR HANDLING  
PI7C8150B checks, forwards, and generates parity on both the primary and secondary  
interfaces. To maintain transparency, PI7C8150B always tries to forward the existing  
parity condition on one bus to the other bus, along with address and data. PI7C8150B  
always attempts to be transparent when reporting errors, but this is not always possible,  
given the presence of posted data and delayed transactions.  
To support error reporting on the PCI bus, PI7C8150B implements the following:  
PERR_L and SERR_L signals on both the primary and secondary interfaces  
Primary status and secondary status registers  
The device-specific P_SERR_L event disable register  
This chapter provides detailed information about how PI7C8150B handles errors.  
It also describes error status reporting and error operation disabling.  
6.1  
ADDRESS PARITY ERRORS  
PI7C8150B checks address parity for all transactions on both buses, for all address and all  
bus commands. When PI7C8150B detects an address parity error on the primary interface,  
the following events occur:

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
If the parity error response bit is set in the command register, PI7C8150B does not  
claim the transaction with P_DEVSEL_L; this may allow the transaction to terminate  
in a master abort. If parity error response bit is not set, PI7C8150B proceeds normally  
and accepts the transaction if it is directed to or across PI7C8150B.  
PI7C8150B sets the detected parity error bit in the status register.  
PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L and sets signaled system error bit in the status register,  
if both the following conditions are met:  
The SERR_L enable bit is set in the command register.  
The parity error response bit is set in the command register.  
When PI7C8150B detects an address parity error on the secondary interface, the following  
events occur:  
If the parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register, PI7C8150B does not  
claim the transaction with S_DEVSEL_L; this may allow the transaction to terminate  
in a master abort. If parity error response bit is not set, PI7C8150B proceeds normally  
and accepts transaction if it is directed to or across PI7C8150B.  
PI7C8150B sets the detected parity error bit in the secondary status register.  
PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L and sets signaled system error bit in status register, if  
both of the following conditions are met:  
The SERR_L enable bit is set in the command register.  
The parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register.  
6.2  
DATA PARITY ERRORS  
When forwarding transactions, PI7C8150B attempts to pass the data parity condition from  
one interface to the other unchanged, whenever possible, to allow the master and target  
devices to handle the error condition.  
The following sections describe, for each type of transaction, the sequence of events that  
occurs when a parity error is detected and the way in which the parity condition is  
forwarded across PI7C8150B.  
6.2.1  
CONFIGURATION WRITE TRANSACTIONS TO  
CONFIGURATION SPACE  
When PI7C8150B detects a data parity error during a Type 0 configuration write  
transaction to PI7C8150B configuration space, the following events occur:  
If the parity error response bit is set in the command register, PI7C8150B asserts  
P_TRDY_L and writes the data to the configuration register. PI7C8150B also asserts  
P_PERR_L. If the parity error response bit is not set, PI7C8150B does not assert  
P_PERR_L.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
PI7C8150B sets the detected parity error bit in the status register, regardless of the state of  
the parity error response bit.  
6.2.2  
READ TRANSACTIONS  
When PI7C8150B detects a parity error during a read transaction, the target drives data and  
data parity, and the initiator checks parity and conditionally asserts PERR_L. For  
downstream transactions, when PI7C8150B detects a read data parity error on the  
secondary bus, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B asserts S_PERR_L two cycles following the data transfer, if the secondary  
interface parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register.  
PI7C8150B sets the detected parity error bit in the secondary status register.  
PI7C8150B sets the data parity detected bit in the secondary status register, if the  
secondary interface parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register.  
PI7C8150B forwards the bad parity with the data back to the initiator on the primary  
bus. If the data with the bad parity is pre-fetched and is not read by the initiator on the  
primary bus, the data is discarded and the data with bad parity is not returned to the  
initiator.  
PI7C8150B completes the transaction normally.  
For upstream transactions, when PI7C8150B detects a read data parity error on the primary  
bus, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B asserts P_PERR_L two cycles following the data transfer, if the primary  
interface parity error response bit is set in the command register.  
PI7C8150B sets the detected parity error bit in the primary status register.  
PI7C8150B sets the data parity detected bit in the primary status register, if the  
primary interface parity-error-response bit is set in the command register.  
PI7C8150B forwards the bad parity with the data back to the initiator on the secondary  
bus. If the data with the bad parity is pre-fetched and is not read by the initiator on the  
secondary bus, the data is discarded and the data with bad parity is not returned to the  
initiator.  
PI7C8150B completes the transaction normally.  
PI7C8150B returns to the initiator the data and parity that was received from the target.  
When the initiator detects a parity error on this read data and is enabled to report it, the  
initiator asserts PERR_L two cycles after the data transfer occurs. It is assumed that the  
initiator takes responsibility for handling a parity error condition; therefore, when  
PI7C8150B detects PERR_L asserted while returning read data to the initiator, PI7C8150B  
does not take any further action and completes the transaction normally.

6.2.3  
DELAYED WRITE TRANSACTIONS  
When PI7C8150B detects a data parity error during a delayed write transaction, the  
initiator drives data and data parity, and the target checks parity and conditionally asserts  
PERR_L.  
For delayed write transactions, a parity error can occur at the following times:  
During the original delayed write request transaction  
When the initiator repeats the delayed write request transaction  
When PI7C8150B completes the delayed write transaction to the target  
When a delayed write transaction is normally queued, the address, command, address  
parity, data, byte enable bits, and data parity are all captured and a target retry is returned to  
the initiator. When PI7C8150B detects a parity error on the write data for the initial  
delayed write request transaction, the following events occur:  
If the parity-error-response bit corresponding to the initiator bus is set, PI7C8150B  
asserts TRDY_L to the initiator and the transaction is not queued. If multiple data  
phases are requested, STOP_L is also asserted to cause a target disconnect. Two cycles  
after the data transfer, PI7C8150B also asserts PERR_L.  
If the parity-error-response bit is not set, PI7C8150B returns a target retry.  
It queues the transaction as usual. PI7C8150B does not assert PERR_L.  
In this case, the initiator repeats the transaction.  
PI7C8150B sets the detected-parity-error bit in the status register corresponding to the  
initiator bus, regardless of the state of the parity-error-response bit.  
Note: If parity checking is turned off and data parity errors have occurred for queued or  
subsequent delayed write transactions on the initiator bus, it is possible that the initiator’s  
re-attempts of the write transaction may not match the original queued delayed write  
information contained in the delayed transaction queue. In this case, a master timeout  
condition may occur, possibly resulting in a system error (P_SERR_L assertion).  
For downstream transactions, when PI7C8150B is delivering data to the target on the  
secondary bus and S_PERR_L is asserted by the target, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B sets the secondary interface data parity detected bit in the secondary status  
register, if the secondary parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register.  
PI7C8150B captures the parity error condition to forward it back to the initiator on the  
primary bus.  
Similarly, for upstream transactions, when PI7C8150B is delivering data to the target on  
the primary bus and P_PERR_L is asserted by the target, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B sets the primary interface data-parity-detected bit in the status register, if  
the primary parity-error-response bit is set in the command register.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
PI7C8150B captures the parity error condition to forward it back to the initiator on the  
secondary bus.  
A delayed write transaction is completed on the initiator bus when the initiator repeats the  
write transaction with the same address, command, data, and byte enable bits as the  
delayed write command that is at the head of the posted data queue. Note that the parity bit  
is not compared when determining whether the transaction matches those in the delayed  
transaction queues.  
Two cases must be considered:  
When parity error is detected on the initiator bus on a subsequent re-attempt of the  
transaction and was not detected on the target bus  
When parity error is forwarded back from the target bus  
For downstream delayed write transactions, when the parity error is detected on the  
initiator bus and PI7C8150B has write status to return, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B first asserts P_TRDY_L and then asserts P_PERR_L two cycles later, if  
the primary interface parity-error-response bit is set in the command register.  
PI7C8150B sets the primary interface parity-error-detected bit in the status register.  
Because there was not an exact data and parity match, the write status is not returned  
and the transaction remains in the queue.  
Similarly, for upstream delayed write transactions, when the parity error is detected on the  
initiator bus and PI7C8150B has write status to return, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B first asserts S_TRDY_L and then asserts S_PERR_L two cycles later, if  
the secondary interface parity-error-response bit is set in the bridge control register  
(offset 3Ch).  
PI7C8150B sets the secondary interface parity-error-detected bit in the secondary  
status register.  
Because there was not an exact data and parity match, the write status is not returned  
and the transaction remains in the queue.  
For downstream transactions, where the parity error is being passed back from the target  
bus and the parity error condition was not originally detected on the initiator bus, the  
following events occur:  
PI7C8150B asserts P_PERR_L two cycles after the data transfer, if the following are  
both true:  
The parity-error-response bit is set in the command register of the primary  
interface.  
The parity-error-response bit is set in the bridge control register of the  
secondary interface.  
PI7C8150B completes the transaction normally.

ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
For upstream transactions, when the parity error is being passed back from the target bus  
and the parity error condition was not originally detected on the initiator bus, the following  
events occur:  
PI7C8150B asserts S_PERR_L two cycles after the data transfer, if the following are  
both true:  
The parity error response bit is set in the command register of the primary  
interface.  
The parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register of the  
secondary interface.  
PI7C8150B completes the transaction normally.  
6.2.4  
POSTED WRITE TRANSACTIONS  
During downstream posted write transactions, when PI7C8150B responds as a target, it  
detects a data parity error on the initiator (primary) bus and the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B asserts P_PERR_L two cycles after the data transfer, if the parity error  
response bit is set in the command register of primary interface.  
PI7C8150B sets the parity error detected bit in the status register of the primary  
interface.  
PI7C8150B captures and forwards the bad parity condition to the secondary bus.  
PI7C8150B completes the transaction normally.  
Similarly, during upstream posted write transactions, when PI7C8150B responds as a  
target, it detects a data parity error on the initiator (secondary) bus, the following events  
occur:  
PI7C8150B asserts S_PERR_L two cycles after the data transfer, if the parity error  
response bit is set in the bridge control register of the secondary interface.  
PI7C8150B sets the parity error detected bit in the status register of the secondary  
interface.  
PI7C8150B captures and forwards the bad parity condition to the primary bus.  
PI7C8150B completes the transaction normally.  
During downstream write transactions, when a data parity error is reported on the target  
(secondary) bus by the target’s assertion of S_PERR_L, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B sets the data parity detected bit in the status register of secondary  
interface, if the parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register of the  
secondary interface.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L and sets the signaled system error bit in the status  
register, if all the following conditions are met:  
The SERR_L enable bit is set in the command register.  
The posted write parity error bit of P_SERR_L event disable register is not  
set.  
The parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register of the  
secondary interface.  
The parity error response bit is set in the command register of the primary  
interface.  
PI7C8150B has not detected the parity error on the primary (initiator) bus  
which the parity error is not forwarded from the primary bus to the  
secondary 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_L, the following events occur:  
PI7C8150B sets the data parity detected bit in the status register, if the parity error  
response bit is set in the command register of the primary interface.  
PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L and sets the signaled system error bit in the status  
register, if all the following conditions are met:  
The SERR_L enable bit is set in the command register.  
The parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register of the  
secondary interface.  
The parity error response bit is set in the command register of the primary  
interface.  
PI7C8150B has not detected the parity error on the secondary (initiator)  
bus, which the parity error is not forwarded from the secondary bus to the  
primary bus.  
Assertion of P_SERR_L is used to signal the parity error condition when the initiator does  
not know that the error occurred. Because the data has already been delivered with no  
errors, there is no other way to signal this information back to the initiator. If the parity  
error has forwarded from the initiating bus to the target bus, P_SERR_L will not be  
asserted.  
6.3  
DATA PARITY ERROR REPORTING SUMMARY  
In the previous sections, the responses of PI7C8150B to data parity errors are presented  
according to the type of transaction in progress. This section organizes the responses of  
PI7C8150B to data parity errors according to the status bits that PI7C8150B sets and the  
signals that it asserts. Table 6-1 shows setting the detected parity error bit in the status  
register, corresponding to the primary interface. This bit is set when PI7C8150B detects a  
parity error on the primary interface.

SYSTEM ERROR (SERR_L) REPORTING  
PI7C8150B uses the P_SERR_L signal to report conditionally a number of system error  
conditions in addition to the special case parity error conditions described in Section 6.2.3.  
Whenever assertion of P_SERR_L is discussed in this document, it is assumed that the  
following conditions apply:  
For PI7C8150B to assert P_SERR_L for any reason, the SERR_L enable bit must be  
set in the command register.  
Whenever PI7C8150B asserts P_SERR_L, PI7C8150B must also set the signaled  
system error bit in the status register.  
In compliance with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, PI7C8150B asserts  
P_SERR_L when it detects the secondary SERR_L input, S_SERR_L, asserted and the  
SERR_L forward enable bit is set in the bridge control register. In addition, PI7C8150B  
also sets the received system error bit in the secondary status register.  
PI7C8150B also conditionally asserts P_SERR_L for any of the following reasons:  
Target abort detected during posted write transaction  
Master abort detected during posted write transaction  
Posted write data discarded after 224 (default) attempts to deliver (224 target retries  
received)

Parity error reported on target bus during posted write transaction (see previous

Delayed read data cannot be transferred from target after 224 (default) attempts (224

Master timeout on delayed transaction  
The device-specific P_SERR_L status register reports the reason for the assertion of  
P_SERR_L. Most of these events have additional device-specific disable bits in the  
P_SERR_L event disable register that make it possible to mask out P_SERR_L assertion  
for specific events. The master timeout condition has a SERR_L enable bit for that event in  
the bridge control register and therefore does not have a device-specific disable bit.

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS  
This chapter describes the use of the LOCK_L signal to implement exclusive access to a  
target for transactions that cross PI7C8150B.  
7.1  
CONCURRENT LOCKS  
The primary and secondary bus lock mechanisms operate concurrently except when  
a locked transaction crosses PI7C8150B. A primary master can lock a primary target  
without affecting the status of the lock on the secondary bus, and vice versa. This means  
that a primary master can lock a primary target at the same time that a secondary master  
locks a secondary target.  
7.2  
ACQUIRING EXCLUSIVE ACCESS ACROSS PI7C8150B  
For any PCI bus, before acquiring access to the LOCK_L signal and starting a series of  
locked transactions, the initiator must first check that both of the following conditions are  
met:  
The PCI bus must be idle.  
The LOCK_L signal must be de-asserted.  
The initiator leaves the LOCK_L signal de-asserted during the address phase and asserts  
LOCK_L one clock cycle later. Once a data transfer is completed from the target, the target  
lock has been achieved.  
7.2.1  
LOCKED TRANSACTIONS IN DOWNSTREAM DIRECTION  
Locked transactions can cross PI7C8150B only in the downstream direction, from the  
primary bus to the secondary bus.  
Page 60 of 108  
APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
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’s bus. When  
PI7C8150B detects on the primary bus, an initial locked transaction intended for a target on  
the secondary bus, PI7C8150B samples the address, transaction type, byte enable bits, and  
parity, as described in Section 3.5.4. It also samples the lock signal. If there is a lock  
established between 2 ports or the target bus is already locked by another master, then the  
current lock cycle is retried without forward. 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 memory read transaction. Subsequent locked  
transactions can be memory read or memory write transactions. Posted memory write  
transactions that are a part of the locked transaction sequence are still posted. Memory read  
transactions that are a part of the locked transaction sequence are not pre-fetched.  
When the locked delayed memory read request is queued, PI7C8150B does not queue any  
more transactions until the locked sequence is finished. PI7C8150B signals a target retry to  
all transactions initiated subsequent to the locked read transaction that are intended for  
targets on the other side of PI7C8150B. PI7C8150B allows any transactions queued before  
the locked transaction to complete before initiating the locked transaction.  
When the locked delayed memory read request transaction moves to the head of the  
delayed transaction queue, PI7C8150B initiates the transaction as a locked read transaction  
by de-asserting LOCK_L on the target bus during the first address phase, and by asserting  
LOCK_L one cycle later. If LOCK_L is already asserted (used by another initiator),  
PI7C8150B waits to request access to the secondary bus until LOCK_L is de-asserted  
when the target bus is idle. Note that the existing lock on the target bus could not have  
crossed PI7C8150B. Otherwise, the pending queued locked transaction would not have  
been queued. When PI7C8150B 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, and byte enable bits, PI7C8150B transfers the read data back to  
the initiator, and the lock is then also established on the primary bus.  
For PI7C8150B to recognize and respond to the initiator, the initiator’s subsequent  
attempts of the read transaction must use the locked transaction sequence (de-assert  
LOCK_L during address phase, and assert LOCK_L one cycle later). If the LOCK_L  
sequence is not used in subsequent attempts, a master timeout condition may result. When  
a master timeout condition occurs, SERR_L is conditionally asserted (see Section 6.4), the  
read data and queued read transaction are discarded, and the LOCK_L signal is de-asserted  
on the target bus.  
Once the intended target has been locked, any subsequent locked transactions initiated on  
the initiator bus that are forwarded by PI7C8150B are driven as locked transactions on the  
target bus.  
The first transaction to establish LOCK_L must be Memory Read. If the first transaction is  
not Memory read, the following transactions behave accordingly:  
Type 0 Configuration Read/Write induces master abort  
Type 1 Configuration Read/Write induces master abort  
I/O Read induces master abort  
I/O Write induces master abort

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
Memory Write induces master abort  
When PI7C8150B receives a target abort or a master abort in response to the delayed  
locked read transaction, this status is passed back to the initiator, and no locks are  
established on either the target or the initiator bus. PI7C8150B resumes forwarding  
unlocked transactions in both directions.  
7.2.2  
LOCKED TRANSACTION IN UPSTREAM DIRECTION  
PI7C8150B ignores upstream lock and transactions. PI7C8150B will pass these  
transactions as normal transactions without lock established.  
7.3  
ENDING EXCLUSIVE ACCESS  
After the lock has been acquired on both initiator and target buses, PI7C8150B must  
maintain the lock on the target bus for any 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 status of the lock signal.  
An established target lock is maintained until the initiator relinquishes the lock.  
PI7C8150B does not know whether the current transaction is the last one in a sequence of  
locked transactions until the initiator de-asserts the LOCK_L signal at end of the  
transaction.  
When the last locked transaction is a delayed transaction, PI7C8150B has already  
completed the transaction on the target bus. In this example, as soon as PI7C8150B detects  
that the initiator has relinquished the LOCK_L signal by sampling it in the de-asserted state  
while FRAME_L is de-asserted, PI7C8150B de-asserts the LOCK_L signal on the target  
bus as soon as possible. Because of this behavior, LOCK_L may not be de-asserted until  
several cycles after the last locked transaction has been completed on the target bus. As  
soon as PI7C8150B has de-asserted LOCK_L to indicate the end of a sequence of locked  
transactions, it resumes forwarding unlocked transactions.  
When the last locked transaction is a posted write transaction, PI7C8150B de-asserts  
LOCK_L 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 PI7C8150B receives a target abort or a master abort in response to a locked delayed  
transaction, PI7C8150B returns a target abort or a master abort when the initiator repeats  
the locked transaction. The initiator must then de-assert LOCK_L at the end of the  
transaction. PI7C8150B sets the appropriate status bits, flagging the abnormal target  
termination condition (see Section 3.8). Normal forwarding of unlocked posted and  
delayed transactions is resumed.  
When PI7C8150B receives a target abort or a master abort in response to a locked posted  
write transaction, PI7C8150B cannot pass back that status to the initiator. PI7C8150B  
asserts SERR_L on the initiator bus when a target abort or a master abort is received during  
a locked posted write transaction, if the SERR_L enable bit is set in the command register.

PCI BUS ARBITRATION  
PI7C8150B must arbitrate for use of the primary bus when forwarding upstream  
transactions. Also, it must arbitrate for use of the secondary bus when forwarding  
downstream transactions. The arbiter for the primary bus resides external to PI7C8150B,  
typically on the motherboard. For the secondary PCI bus, PI7C8150B implements an  
internal arbiter. This arbiter can be disabled, and an external arbiter can be used instead.  
This chapter describes primary and secondary bus arbitration.  
8.1  
PRIMARY PCI BUS ARBITRATION  
PI7C8150B implements a request output pin, P_REQ_L, and a grant input pin, P_GNT_L,  
for primary PCI bus arbitration. PI7C8150B asserts P_REQ_L when forwarding  
transactions upstream; that is, it acts as initiator on the primary PCI bus. As long as at least  
one pending transaction resides in the queues in the upstream direction, either posted write  
data or delayed transaction requests, PI7C8150B keeps P_REQ_L asserted. However, if a  
target retry, target disconnect, or a target abort is received in response to a transaction  
initiated by PI7C8150B on the primary PCI bus, PI7C8150B de-asserts P_REQ_L for two  
PCI clock cycles.  
For all cycles through the bridge, P_REQ_L is not asserted until the transaction request has  
been completely queued. When P_GNT_L is asserted LOW by the primary bus arbiter  
after PI7C8150B has asserted P_REQ_L, PI7C8150B initiates a transaction on the primary  
bus during the next PCI clock cycle. When P_GNT_L is asserted to PI7C8150B when  
P_REQ_L is not asserted, PI7C8150B parks P_AD, P_CBE, and P_PAR by driving them  
to valid logic levels. When the primary bus is parked at PI7C8150B and PI7C8150B has a  
transaction to initiate on the primary bus, PI7C8150B starts the transaction if P_GNT_L  
was asserted during the previous cycle.  
8.2  
SECONDARY PCI BUS ARBITRATION  
PI7C8150B implements an internal secondary PCI bus arbiter. This arbiter supports eight  
external masters on the secondary bus in addition to PI7C8150B. The internal arbiter can  
be disabled, and an external arbiter can be used instead for secondary bus arbitration.  
8.2.1  
SECONDARY BUS ARBITRATION USING THE INTERNAL  
ARBITER  
To use the internal arbiter, the secondary bus arbiter enable pin, S_CFN_L, must be tied  
LOW. PI7C8150B has nine secondary bus request input pins, S_REQ_L[8:0], and has nine  
secondary bus output grant pins, S_GNT_L[8:0], to support external secondary bus  
masters.  
The secondary bus request and grant signals are connected internally to the arbiter and are  
not brought out to external pins when S_CFN_L is HIGH.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
Figure 8-1 Secondary Arbiter Example  
The secondary arbiter supports a 2-sets programmable 2-level rotating algorithm with each  
set taking care of 9 requests / grants. Each set of masters can be assigned to a high priority  
group and a low priority group. The low priority group as a whole represents one entry in  
the high priority group; that is, if the high priority group consists of n masters, then in at  
least every n+1 transactions the highest priority is assigned to the low priority group.  
Priority rotates evenly among the low priority group. Therefore, members of the high  
priority group can be serviced n transactions out of n+1, while one member of the low  
priority group is serviced once every n+1 transactions. Figure 9–1 shows an example of an  
internal arbiter where four masters, including PI7C8150B, 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 fashion (high  
priority members are given in italics, low priority members, in boldface type): B, m0, m1,  
m2, m3, B, m0, m1, m2, m4, B, m0, m1, m2, m5, B, m0, m1, m2, m6, B, m0, m1, m2, m7  
and so on.  
Each bus master, including PI7C8150B, can be configured to be in either the low priority  
group or the high priority group by setting the corresponding priority bit in the arbiter-  
control register. The arbiter-control register is located at offset 40h. Each master has a  
corresponding bit. If the bit is set to 1, the master is assigned to the high priority group. If  
the bit is set to 0, the master is assigned to the low priority group. If all the masters are  
assigned to one group, the algorithm defaults to a straight rotating priority among all the  
masters. After reset, all external masters are assigned to the low priority group, and  
PI7C8150B is assigned to the high priority group. PI7C8150B receives highest priority on  
the target bus every other transaction and priority rotates evenly among the other masters.  
Priorities are re-evaluated every time S_FRAME_L is asserted at the start of each new  
transaction on the secondary PCI bus. From this point until the time that the next  
transaction starts, the arbiter asserts the grant signal corresponding to the highest priority  
request that is asserted. If a grant 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 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 in its group.  
If PI7C8150B detects that an initiator has failed to assert S_FRAME_L after 16 cycles of  
both grant assertion and a secondary idle bus condition, the arbiter de-asserts the grant.  
To prevent bus contention, if the secondary PCI bus is idle, the arbiter never asserts one  
grant signal in the same PCI cycle in which it de-asserts another. It de-asserts one grant and  
asserts the next grant, no earlier than one PCI clock cycle later. If the secondary PCI bus is

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
busy, that is, S_FRAME_L or S_IRDY_L is asserted, the arbiter can be de-asserted one  
grant and asserted another grant during the same PCI clock cycle.  
8.2.2  
8.2.3  
PREEMPTION  
Preemption can be programmed to be either on or off, with the default to on (offset 4Ch, bit  
31=0). Time-to-preempt can be programmed to 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 (default is 0)  
clocks. If the current master occupies the bus and other masters are waiting, the current  
master will be preempted by removing its grant (GNT#) after the next master waits for the  
time-to-preempt.  
SECONDARY BUS ARBITRATION USING AN EXTERNAL  
ARBITER  
The internal arbiter is disabled when the secondary bus central function control pin,  
S_CFN_L, is tied HIGH. An external arbiter must then be used.  
When S_CFN_L is tied HIGH, PI7C8150B, reconfigures two pins to be external request  
and grant pins. The S_GNT_L[0] pin is reconfigured to be the external request pin because  
it’s an output. The S_REQ_L[0] pin is reconfigured to be the external grant pin because  
it’s an input. When an external arbiter is used, PI7C8150B uses the S_GNT_L[0] pin to  
request the secondary bus. When the reconfigured S_REQ_L[0] pin is asserted LOW after  
PI7C8150B has asserted S_GNT_L[0], PI7C8150B initiates a transaction on the secondary  
bus one cycle later. If grant is asserted and PI7C8150B has not asserted the request,  
PI7C8150B parks AD, CBE and PAR pins by driving them to valid logic levels.  
The unused secondary bus grant outputs, S_GNT_L[8:1] are driven HIGH. The unused  
secondary bus request inputs, S_REQ_L[8:1], should be pulled HIGH.  
8.2.4  
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. In general, the device implementing the bus arbiter is responsible for  
parking the bus or assigning another device to park the bus. A device parks the bus when  
the bus is idle, its bus grant is asserted, and the device’s request is not asserted. The AD  
and CBE signals should be driven first, with the PAR signal driven one cycle later.  
PI7C8150B parks the primary bus only when P_GNT_L is asserted, P_REQ_L is de-  
asserted, and the primary PCI bus is idle. When P_GNT_L is de-asserted, PI7C8150B 3-  
states the P_AD, P_CBE, and P_PAR signals on the next PCI clock cycle. If PI7C8150B is  
parking the primary PCI bus and wants to initiate a transaction on that bus, then  
PI7C8150B can start the transaction on the next PCI clock cycle by asserting P_FRAME_L  
if P_GNT_L is still asserted.  
If the internal secondary bus arbiter is enabled, the secondary bus is always parked at the  
last master that used the PCI bus. That is, PI7C8150B keeps the secondary bus grant  
asserted to a particular master until a new secondary bus request comes along. After reset,  
PI7C8150B parks the secondary bus at itself until transactions start occurring on the  
secondary bus. Offset 48h, bit 1, can be set to 1 to park the secondary bus at PI7C8150B.  
By default, offset 48h, bit 1, is set to 0. If the internal arbiter is disabled, PI7C8150B parks

the secondary bus only when the reconfigured grant signal, S_REQ_L[0], is asserted and

CLOCKS  
This chapter provides information about the clocks.  
9.1  
PRIMARY CLOCK INPUTS  
PI7C8150B implements a primary clock input for the PCI interface. The primary interface  
is synchronized to the primary clock input, P_CLK, and the secondary interface is  
synchronized to the secondary clock. In synchronous mode, the secondary clock is derived  
internally from the primary clock, P_CLK. PI7C8150B operates at a maximum frequency  
of 66 MHz (33MHz for PI7C8150B-33).  
9.2  
9.3  
SECONDARY CLOCK OUTPUTS  
PI7C8150B has 10 secondary clock outputs, S_CLKOUT[9:0] that can be used as clock  
inputs for up to nine external secondary bus devices. In synchronous mode, the  
S_CLKOUT[9:0] outputs are derived from P_CLK. The secondary clock edges are delayed  
from P_CLK edges by a minimum of 0ns. This is the rule for using secondary clocks:  
Each secondary clock output is limited to no more than one load.  
ASYNCHRONOUS MODE  
In asynchronous mode, the PI7C8150B can be run in the following frequency  
configuration:  
Primary (MHz)  
Secondary (MHz)  
25MHz to 66MHz  
25MHz to 66MHz  
PI7C8150B-33 can be run in the following frequency configuration:  
Primary (MHz)

Secondary (MHz)

To set asynchronous mode support, MS0 and MS1 must be configured accordingly:

ASYNC_CLKIN and not P_CLK. S_CLKOUT[9] is still connected to S_CLKIN to  
provide the same timing as the bus clocks. CFG66/SCAN_EN_H becomes CLK_RATE in  
asynchronous mode. Pulling CLK_RATE HIGH sets S_CLKOUT[9:0] equal to  
ASYNC_CLKIN. Pulling CLK_RATE LOW sets S_CLKOUT[9:0] to half the frequency  
of ASYNC_CLKIN. PI7C8150B will not be able to drive S_M66EN in asynchronous  
mode.

GENERAL PURPOSE I/O INTERFACE  
The PI7C8150B implements a 4-pin general purpose I/O interface. During normal  
operation, device specific configuration registers control the GPIO interface. The GPIO  
interface can be used for the following functions:  
During secondary interface reset, the GPIO interface can be used to shift in a 16-bit  
serial stream that serves as a secondary bus clock disable mask.  
Along with the GPIO[3] pin, a live insertion bit can be used to bring the PI7C8150B to  
a halt through hardware, permitting live insertion of option cards behind the  
PI7C8150B.  
10.1  
GPIO CONTROL REGISTERS  
During normal operation, the following device specific configuration registers control the  
GPIO interface:  
The GPIO output data register  
The GPIO output enable control register  
The GPIO input data register  
These registers consist of five 8-bit fields:  
Write-1-to-set output data field  
Write-1-to-clear output data field  
Write-1-to-set signal output enable control field  
Write-1-to-clear signal output enable control field  
Input data field  
The bottom four bits of the output enable fields control whether each GPIO signal is input  
only or bi-directional. Each signal is controlled independently by a bit in each output  
enable control field. If a 1 is written to the write-1-to-set field, the corresponding pin is  
activated as an output. If a 1 is written to the write-1-to-clear field, the output driver is tri-  
stated, and the pin is then input only. Writing zeroes to these registers has no effect. The  
reset for these signals is input only.  
The input data field is read only and reflects the current value of the GPIO pins. A type 0  
configuration read operation to this address is used to obtain the values of these pins. All  
pins can be read at any time, whether configured as input only or as bi-directional.  
The output data fields also use the write-1-to-set and write-1-to-clear mode. If a 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 a 1 is written to the write-1-to-clear field and the pin is

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
enabled as an output, the corresponding GPIO output is driven LOW. Writing zeros to  
these registers has no effect. The value written to the output register will be driven only  
when the GPIO signal is configured as bi-directional. A type 0 configuration write  
operation is used to program these fields. The rest value for the output is 0.  
10.2  
SECONDARY CLOCK CONTROL  
The PI7C8150B uses the GPIO pins and the MSK_IN signal to input a 16-bit serial data  
stream. This data stream is shifted into the secondary clock control register and is used for  
selectively disabling secondary clock outputs.  
The serial data stream is shifted in as soon as P_RST_L is detected deasserted and the  
secondary reset signal, S_RST_L, is detected asserted. The deassertion of S_RST_L is  
delayed until the PI7C8150B completes shifting in the clock mask data, which takes 23  
clock cycles. After that, the GPIO pins can be used as general-purpose I/O pins.  
An external shift register should be used to load and shift the data. The GPIO pins are used  
for shift register control and serial data input. Table 10-1 shows the operation of the GPIO  
pins.

register can be eliminated, and MSK_IN can be tied LOW to enable all secondary clock  
outputs or tied HIGH to force all secondary clock outputs HIGH. Table 10-2 shows the

The first 8 bits contain the PRSNT#[1:0] signal values for four slots, and these bits control  
the S_CLKOUT[3:0] outputs. If one or both of the PRSNT#[1:0] signals are 0, that  
indicates that a card is present in the slot and therefore the secondary clock for that slot is

ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
not masked. If these clocks are connected to devices and not to slots, one or both of the bits  
should be tied low to enable the clock.  
The next 5 bits are the clock mask for devices; each bit enables or disables the clock for  
one device. These bits control the S_CLKOUT[8:4] outputs: 0 enables the clock, and 1  
disables the clock.  
Bit 13 is the clock enable bit for S_CLKOUT[9], which is connected to PI7C8150B’s  
S_CLKIN input.  
If desired, the assignment of S_CLKOUT outputs to slots, devices, and PI7C8150B’s  
S_CLKIN input can be rearranged from the assignment shown here. However, it is  
important that the serial data stream format match the assignment of S_CLKOUT.  
The 8 least significant bits are connected to the PRSNT# pins for the slots. The next 5 bits  
are tied high to disable their respective secondary clocks because those clocks are not  
connected to anything. The next bit is tied LOW because that secondary clock output is  
connected to the PI7C8150B S_CLKIN input. When the secondary reset signal, S_RST_L,  
is detected asserted and the primary reset signal, P_RST_L, is detected deasserted,  
PI7C8150B drives GPIO[2] LOW for one cycle to load the clock mask inputs into the shift  
register. On the next cycle, PI7C8150B drives GPIO[2] 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.  
After the shift operation is complete, PI7C8150B tri-states the GPIO signals and can  
deassert S_RST_L if the secondary reset bit is clear. PI7C8150B then ignores MSK_IN.  
Control of the GPIO signal now reverts to PI7C8150B GPIO control registers. The clock  
disable mask can be modified subsequently through a configuration write command to the  
secondary clock control register in device-specific configuration space.  
10.3  
LIVE INSERTION  
The GPIO[3] pin can be used, along with a live insertion mode bit, to disable transaction  
forwarding.  
To enable live insertion mode, the live insertion mode bit in the chip control register must  
be set to 1, and the output enable control for GPIO[3] must be set to input only in the GPIO  
output enable control register. When live insertion mode is enabled, whenever GPIO[3] is  
driven to a value of 1, the I/O enable, the memory enable, and the master enable bits are  
internally masked to 0. This means that, as a target, PI7C8150B no longer accepts any I/O  
or memory transactions, on either interface. When read, the register bits still reflect the  
value originally written by a configuration write command; when GPIO[3] is deasserted,  
the internal enable bits return to their original value (as they appear when read from the  
command register). When this mode is enabled, as a master, PI7C8150B completes any  
posted write or delayed request transactions that have already been queued.  
Delayed completion transactions are not returned to the master in this mode because  
PI7C8150B is not responding to any I/O or memory transactions during this time.  
PI7C8150B continues to accept configuration transactions in live insertion mode. Once live  
insertion mode brings PI7C8150B to a halt and queued transactions are completed, the  
secondary reset bit in the bridge control register can be used to assert S_RST_L, if desired,  
to reset and tri-state secondary bus devices, and to enable any live insertion hardware.

RESET  
This chapter describes the primary interface, secondary interface, and chip reset  
mechanisms.  
12.1  
PRIMARY INTERFACE RESET  
PI7C8150B has a reset input, P_RESET_L. When P_RESET_L is asserted, the following  
events occur:  
PI7C8150B immediately tri-states all primary and secondary PCI interface signals.  
Page 70 of 108  
APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
 
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
PI7C8150B performs a chip reset.  
Registers that have default values are reset.  
P_RESET_L asserting and de-asserting edges can be asynchronous to P_CLK and  
S_CLKOUT. PI7C8150B is not accessible during P_RESET_L. After P_RESET_L is de-  
asserted, PI7C8150B remains inaccessible for 16 PCI clocks before the first configuration  
transaction can be accepted.  
12.2  
SECONDARY INTERFACE RESET  
PI7C8150B is responsible for driving the secondary bus reset signals, S_RESET_L.  
PI7C8150B asserts S_RESET_L when any of the following conditions are met:  
Signal P_RESET_L is asserted. Signal S_RESET_L remains asserted as long as  
P_RESET_L is asserted and does not de-assert until P_RESET_L is de-asserted.  
The secondary reset bit in the bridge control register is set. Signal S_RESET_L  
remains asserted until a configuration write operation clears the secondary reset bit.  
S_RESET_L pin is asserted. When S_RESET_L is asserted, PI7C8150B immediately 3-  
states all the secondary PCI interface signals associated with the secondary port. The  
S_RESET_L in asserting and de-asserting edges can be asynchronous to P_CLK.  
When S_RESET_L is asserted, all secondary PCI interface control signals, including the  
secondary grant outputs, are immediately 3-stated. Signals S1_AD, S1_CBE[3:0]#, S_PAR  
are driven low for the duration of S_RESET_L assertion. All posted write and delayed  
transaction data buffers are reset. Therefore, any transactions residing inside the buffers at  
the time of secondary reset are discarded.  
When S_RESET_L is asserted by means of the secondary reset bit, PI7C8150B remains  
accessible during secondary interface reset and continues to respond to accesses to its  
configuration space from the primary interface.  
12.3  
CHIP RESET  
The chip reset bit in the diagnostic control register can be used to reset the PI7C8150B and  
the secondary bus.  
When the chip reset bit is set, all registers and chip state are reset and all signals are  
tristated. S_RESET_L is asserted and the secondary reset bit is automatically set.  
S_RESET_L remains asserted until a configuration write operation clears the secondary  
reset bit and the serial clock mask has been shifted in. Within 20 PCI clock cycles after  
completion of the configuration write operation, PI7C8150B’s reset bit automatically clears  
and PI7C8150B is ready for configuration.  
During reset, PI7C8150B is inaccessible.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
15  
BRIDGE BEHAVIOR  
A PCI cycle is initiated by asserting the FRAME_L signal. In a bridge, there are a number  
of possibilities. Those possibilities are summarized in the table below:  
15.1  
BRIDGE ACTIONS FOR VARIOUS CYCLE TYPES  
Initiator  
Target  
Response  
Master on Primary  
Target on Primary  
PI7C8150B does not respond. It detects  
this situation by decoding the address as  
well as monitoring the P_DEVSEL_L for  
other fast and medium devices on the  
Primary Port.  
Master on Primary  
Target on Secondary  
PI7C8150B asserts P_DEVSEL_L,  
terminates the cycle normally if it is able  
to be posted, otherwise return with a retry.  
It then passes the cycle to the appropriate  
port. When the cycle is complete on the  
target port, it will wait for the initiator to  
repeat the same cycle and end with normal  
termination.  
Master on Primary  
Master on Secondary  
Master on Secondary  
Target not on Primary nor  
Secondary Port  
Target on the same  
Secondary Port  
Target on Primary or the  
other Secondary Port  
PI7C8150B does not respond and the  
cycle will terminate as master abort.  
PI7C8150B does not respond.  
PI7C8150B asserts S_DEVSEL_L,  
terminates the cycle normally if it is able  
to be posted, otherwise returns with a  
retry. It then passes the cycle to the  
appropriate port. When cycle is complete  
on the target port, it will wait for the  
initiator to repeat the same cycle and end  
with normal termination.  
Master on Secondary  
Target not on Primary nor  
the other Secondary Port  
PI7C8150B does not respond.  
15.2  
ABNORMAL TERMINATION (INITIATED BY BRIDGE  
MASTER)  
15.2.1  
MASTER ABORT  
Master abort indicates that when PI7C8150B acts as a master and receives no response  
(i.e., no target asserts DEVSEL_L or S_DEVSEL_L) from a target, the bridge de-asserts  
FRAME_L and then de-asserts IRDY_L.  
15.2.2  
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 (i. e. an even number of‘1’s) across AD, CBE,  
and PAR. Parity information on PAR is valid the cycle after AD and CBE are valid. For  
reads, even parity must be generated using the initiators CBE signals combined with the  
Page 95 of 108  
APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02  
06-0044  
 
PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
read data. Again, the PAR signal corresponds to read data from the previous data phase  
cycle.  
15.2.3  
REPORTING PARITY ERRORS  
For all address phases, if a parity error is detected, the error should be reported on the  
P_SERR_L signal by asserting P_SERR_L for one cycle and then 3-stating two cycles  
after the bad address. P_SERR_L can only be asserted if bit 6 and 8 in the Command  
Register are both set to 1. For write data phases, a parity error should be reported by  
asserting the P_PERR_L signal two cycles after the data phase and should remain asserted  
for one cycle when bit 6 in the Command register is set to a 1.  
The target reports any type of data parity errors during write cycles, while the master  
reports data parity errors during read cycles.  
Detection of an address parity error will cause the PCI-to-PCI Bridge target to not claim  
the bus (P_DEVSEL_L remains inactive) and the cycle will then terminate with a Master  
Abort. When the bridge is acting as master, a data parity error during a read cycle results in  
the bridge master initiating a Master Abort.  
15.2.4  
SECONDARY IDSEL MAPPING  
When PI7C8150B detects a Type 1 configuration transaction for a device connected to  
the secondary, it translates the Type 1 transaction to Type 0 transaction on the downstream  
interface. Type 1 configuration format uses a 5-bit field at P_AD[15:11] as a device  
number. This is translated to S_AD[31:16] by PI7C8150B.  
16  
IEEE 1149.1 COMPATIBLE JTAG CONTROLLER  
An IEEE 1149.1 compatible Test Access Port (TAP) controller and associated TAP pins  
are provided to support boundary scan in PI7C8150B for board-level continuity test and  
diagnostics. The TAP pins assigned are TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS and TRST_L. All digital  
input, output, input/output pins are tested except TAP pins.  
The IEEE 1149.1 Test Logic consists of a TAP controller, an instruction register, and  
a group of test data registers including Bypass and Boundary Scan registers. The TAP  
controller is a synchronous 16-state machine driven by the Test Clock (TCK) and the Test  
Mode Select (TMS) pins. An independent power on reset circuit is provided to ensure the  
machine is in TEST_LOGIC_RESET state at power-up. The JTAG signal lines are not  
active when the PCI resource is operating PCI bus cycles.  
PI7C8150B implements 3 basic instructions: BYPASS, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, and  
EXTEST.  
16.1  
BOUNDARY SCAN ARCHITECTURE  
Boundary-scan test logic consists of a boundary-scan register and support logic. These are  
accessed through a Test Access Port (TAP). The TAP provides a simple serial interface

APRIL 2006 – Revision 2.02

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
that allows all processor signal pins to be driven and/or sampled, thereby providing direct  
control and monitoring of processor pins at the system level.  
This mode of operation is valuable for design debugging and fault diagnosis since it  
permits examination of connections not normally accessible to the test system. The  
following subsections describe the boundary-scan test logic elements: TAP pins,  
instruction register, test data registers and TAP controller. Figure 16-1 illustrates how  
these pieces fit together to form the JTAG unit.  
Figure 16-1 Test Access Port Block Diagram  
16.1.1  
16.1.2  
TAP PINS  
The PI7C8150B’s TAP pins form a serial port composed of four input connections (TMS,  
TCK, TRST_L and TDI) and one output connection (TDO). These pins are described in  
Table 16-1. The TAP pins provide access to the instruction register and the test data  
registers.  
INSTRUCTION REGISTER  
The Instruction Register (IR) holds instruction codes. These codes are shifted in through  
the Test Data Input (TDI) pin. The instruction codes are used to select the specific test  
operation to be performed and the test data register to be accessed.  
The instruction register is a parallel-loadable, master/slave-configured 5-bit wide, serial-  
shift register with latched outputs. Data is shifted into and out of the IR serially through the  
TDI pin clocked by the rising edge of TCK. The shifted-in instruction becomes active upon  
latching from the master stage to the slave stage. At that time the IR outputs along with the  
TAP finite state machine outputs are decoded to select and control the test data register  
selected by that instruction. Upon latching, all actions caused by any previous instructions  
terminate.

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
The instruction determines the test to be performed, the test data register to be accessed, or  
both. The IR is two bits wide. When the IR is selected, the most significant bit is connected  
to TDI, and the least significant bit is connected to TDO. The value presented on the TDI  
pin is shifted into the IR on each rising edge of TCK. The TAP controller captures fixed  
parallel data (1101 binary). When a new instruction is shifted in through TDI, the value  
1101(binary) is always shifted out through TDO, least significant bit first. This helps  
identify instructions in a long chain of serial data from several devices.  
Upon activation of the TRST_L reset pin, the latched instruction asynchronously changes  
to the id code instruction. When the TAP controller moves into the test state other than by  
reset activation, the opcode changes as TDI shifts, and becomes active on the falling edge  
of TCK.

BOUNDARY SCAN INSTRUCTION SET  
The PI7C8150B supports three mandatory boundary-scan instructions (BYPASS,  
SAMPLE and EXTEST). The table shown below lists the PI7C8150B’s boundary-scan  
instruction codes.

Description  
00000  
EXTEST initiates testing of external circuitry, typically board-  
level interconnects and off chip circuitry. EXTEST connects the  
boundary-scan register between TDI and TDO. When EXTEST  
is selected, all output signal pin values are driven by values  
shifted into the boundary-scan register and may change only of  
the falling edge of TCK. Also, when EXTEST is selected, all  
system input pin states must be loaded into the boundary-scan  
register on the rising-edge of TCK.

SAMPLE performs two functions:  
A snapshot of the sample instruction is captured on the  
rising edge of TCK without interfering with normal  
operation. The instruction causes boundary-scan register  
cells associated with outputs to sample the value being  
driven.  
On the falling edge of TCK, the data held in the boundary-  
scan cells is transferred to the slave register cells.  
Typically, the slave latched data is applied to the system  
outputs via the EXTEST instruction.  
INTSCAN  
CLAMP

Enable internal SCAN test  
CLAMP instruction allows the state of the signals driven from  
component pins to be determined from the boundary-scan  
register while the bypass register is selected as the serial path  
between TDI and TDO. The signal driven from the component  
pins will not change while the CLAMP instruction is selected.  
BYPASS instruction selects the one-bit bypass register between  
TDI and TDO pins. 0 (binary) is the only instruction that  
accesses the bypass register. While this instruction is in effect,  
all other test data registers have no effect on system operation.  
Test data registers with both test and system functionality  
performs their system functions when this instruction is selected.

TAP TEST DATA REGISTERS  
The PI7C8150B contains two test data registers (bypass and boundary-scan). Each test  
data register selected by the TAP controller is connected serially between TDI and TDO.  
TDI is connected to the test data register’s most significant bit. TDO is connected to the  
least significant bit. Data is shifted one bit position within the register towards TDO on  
each rising edge of TCK. While any register is selected, data is transferred from TDI to  
TDO without inversion. The following sections describe each of the test data registers.  
16.4  
16.5  
BYPASS REGISTER  
The required bypass register, a one-bit shift register, provides the shortest path between  
TDI and TDO when a bypass instruction is in effect. This allows rapid movement of test  
data to and from other components on the board. This path can be selected when no test  
operation is being performed on the PI7C8150B.  
BOUNDARY-SCAN REGISTER  
The boundary-scan register contains a cell for each pin as well as control cells for I/O and  
the high-impedance pin.  
Table 16-1 shows the bit order of the PI7C8150B boundary-scan register. All table cells  
that contain “Control” select the direction of bi-directional pins or high-impedance output  
pins. When a “1” is loaded into the control cell, the associated pin(s) are high-impedance or  
selected as output.  
The boundary-scan register is a required set of serial-shiftable register cells, configured in  
master/slave stages and connected between each of the PI7C8150B’s pins and on-chip  
system logic. The VDD, GND, and JTAG pins are NOT in the boundary-scan chain.  
The boundary-scan register cells are dedicated logic and do not have any system function.  
Data may be loaded into the boundary-scan register master cells from  
the device input pins and output pin-drivers in parallel by the mandatory SAMPLE and  
EXTEST instructions. Parallel loading takes place on the rising edge of TCK.  
Data may be scanned into the boundary-scan register serially via the TDI serial input pin,  
clocked by the rising edge of TCK. When the required data has been loaded into the  
master-cell stages, it can be driven into the system logic at input pins or onto the output  
pins on the falling edge of TCK state. Data may also be shifted out of the boundary-scan  
register by means of the TDO serial output pin at the falling edge of TCK.  
16.6  
TAP CONTROLLER  
The TAP (Test Access Port) controller is a 4-state synchronous finite state machine that  
controls the sequence of test logic operations. The TAP can be controlled via a bus master.  
The bus master can be either automatic test equipment or a component (i.e., PLD) that  
interfaces to the TAP. The TAP controller changes state only in response to a rising edge of  
TCK. The value of the test mode state (TMS) input signal at a rising edge of TCK controls

PI7C8150B  
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE  
the sequence of state changes. The TAP controller is initialized after power-up by applying  
a low to the TRST_L pin. In addition, the TAP controller can be initialized by applying a  
high signal level on the TMS input for a minimum of five TCK periods.  
For greater detail on the behavior of the TAP controller, test logic in each controller state  
and the state machine and public instructions, refer to the IEEE 1149.1 Standard Test  
Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture document (available from the IEEE).
