Description
A[31:3]# (Address) define a 232-byte physical memory address
space. In sub-phase 1 of the address phase, these pins transmit the
address of a transaction. In sub-phase 2, these pins transmit
transaction type information. These signals must connect the
appropriate pins of both agents on the Intel® Celeron® M processor
FSB. A[31:3]# are source synchronous signals and are latched into
the receiving buffers by ADSTB[1:0]#. Address signals are used as
straps which are sampled before RESET# is deasserted.
Input/
Output
A[31:3]#
If A20M# (Address-20 Mask) is asserted, the processor masks
physical address bit 20 (A20#) before looking up a line in any
internal cache and before driving a read/write transaction on the
bus. Asserting A20M# emulates the 8086 processor's address wrap-
around at the 1-Mbyte boundary. Assertion of A20M# is only
supported in real mode.
A20M#
Input
A20M# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of
this signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be
valid along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/
Output Write bus transaction.
ADS# (Address Strobe) is asserted to indicate the validity of the
transaction address on the A[31:3]# and REQ[4:0]# pins. All bus
agents observe the ADS# activation to begin parity checking,
protocol checking, address decode, internal snoop, or deferred reply
ID match operations associated with the new transaction.
Input/
Output
ADS#
Address strobes are used to latch A[31:3]# and REQ[4:0]# on their
rising and falling edges. Strobes are associated with signals as
shown below.

The differential pair BCLK (Bus Clock) determines the FSB frequency.
All FSB agents must receive these signals to drive their outputs and
latch their inputs.
BCLK[1:0]
BNR#
Input
All external timing parameters are specified with respect to the rising
edge of BCLK0 crossing VCROSS
.
BNR# (Block Next Request) is used to assert a bus stall by any bus
agent who is unable to accept new bus transactions. During a bus
stall, the current bus owner cannot issue any new transactions.
Input/
Output
BPM[3:0]# (Breakpoint Monitor) are breakpoint and performance
monitor signals. They are outputs from the processor which indicate
the status of breakpoints and programmable counters used for
monitoring processor performance. BPM[3:0]# should connect the
appropriate pins of all Celeron M FSB agents.This includes debug or
performance monitoring tools.
