Signal Pins
This chapter provides detailed descriptions of the 21150 signal pins, grouped by function.
Table 2 describes the signal pin functional groups, and the following sections describe the signals
in each group.
Table 2. Signal Pins
Function
Description
Primary PCI bus
interface signal pins
All PCI pins required by the Revision 1.1 of the PCI-to-PCI Bridge
Architecture Specification.
Secondary PCI bus
interface signal pins
All PCI pins required by the Revision 1.1 of the PCI-to-PCI Bridge
Architecture Specification.
Nine request/grant pairs of pins for the secondary PCI bus.
An arbiter enable control pin.
Secondary PCI bus
arbiter signal pins
General-purpose I/O
interface signal pins
Four general-purpose pins.
Two clock inputs (one for each PCI interface).
Clock signal pins
Reset signal pins
Ten clock outputs (for nine external secondary PCI bus devices and also for
the 21150).
A primary interface reset input.
A secondary interface reset output.
An input-only pin used to disable secondary clock outputs.
Two input voltage signaling level pins.
Miscellaneous signal
pins
Three pins controlling 66 MHz operation.
JTAG signal pins
All JTAG pins required by IEEE standard 1149.1.
Table 3 defines the signal type abbreviations used in the signal tables:
Table 3. Signal Types
Signal Type
Description
I
Standard input only.
Standard output only.
Tristate bidirectional.
O
TS
Sustained tristate. Active low signal must be pulled high for one cycle when
deasserting.
STS
OD
Standard open drain.
Note: The _l signal name suffix indicates that the signal is asserted when it is at a low voltage level and
corresponds to the # suffix in the PCI Local Bus Specification. If this suffix is not present, the
signal is asserted when it is at a high voltage level.
