chapter 2 internal architecture 5 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 2 internal architecture 2.1 introduction the AMD-K6-2 processor implements advanced design techniques known as the risc86 microarchitecture. the risc86 microarchitecture is a decoupled decode/execution design approach that yields superior sixth-generation performance for x86-based software. this chapter describes the techniques used and the functional elements of the risc86 microarchitecture. 2.2 amd-k6 ? -2 processor microarchitecture overview when discussing processor design, it is important to understand the terms architecture , microarchitecture , and design implementation . the term architecture refers to the instruction set and features of a processor that are visible to software programs running on the processor. the architecture determines what software the processor can run. the architecture of the AMD-K6-2 processor is the industry-standard x86 instruction set. the term microarchitecture refers to the design techniques used in the processor to reach the target cost, performance, and functionality goals. the amd-k6 family of processors are based on a sophisticated risc core known as the enhanced risc86 microarchitecture. the enhanced risc86 microarchitecture is an advanced, second-order decoupled decode/execution design approach that enables industry-leading performance for x86-based software. the term design implementation refers to the actual logic and circuit designs from which the processor is created according to the microarchitecture specifications.
6 internal architecture chapter 2 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information enhanced risc86 ? microarchitecture the enhanced risc86 microarchitecture defines the characteristics of the amd-k6 family. the innovative risc86 microarchitecture approach implements the x86 instruction set by internally translating x86 instructions into risc86 operations. these risc86 operations were specially designed to include direct support for the x86 instruction set while observing the risc performance principles of fixed length encoding, regularized instruction fields, and a large register set. the enhanced risc86 microarchitecture used in the AMD-K6-2 processor enables higher processor core performance and promotes straightforward extensions, such as those added in the current AMD-K6-2 processor and those planned for the future. instead of directly executing complex x86 instructions, which have lengths of 1 to 15 bytes, the AMD-K6-2 processor executes the simpler and easier fixed-length risc86 operations, while maintaining the instruction coding efficiencies found in x86 programs. the AMD-K6-2 processor contains parallel decoders, a centralized risc86 operation scheduler, and ten execution units that support superscalar operationmultiple decode, execution, and retirementof x86 instructions. these elements are packed into an aggressive and highly efficient six-stage pipeline. amd-k6 ? -2 processor block diagram. as shown in figure 1 on page 7, the high-performance, out-of-order execution engine of the AMD-K6-2 processor is mated to a split level-one 64-kbyte writeback cache with 32 kbytes of instruction cache and 32 kbytes of data cache. the instruction cache feeds the decoders and, in turn, the decoders feed the scheduler. the icu issues and retires risc86 operations contained in the scheduler. the system bus interface is an industry-standard 64-bit super7 and socket 7 demultiplexed bus. the AMD-K6-2 processor combines the latest in processor microarchitecture to provide the highest x86 performance for todays personal computers. the AMD-K6-2 processor offers true sixth-generation performance and x86 binary software compatibility.

8 internal architecture chapter 2 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information short and long decodes are processed completely within the decoders. vector decodes are started by the decoders and then completed by fetched sequences from an on-chip rom. after decoding, the risc86 operations are delivered to the scheduler for dispatching to the executions units. scheduler/instruction control unit. the centralized scheduler or buffer is managed by the instruction control unit (icu). the icu buffers and manages up to 24 risc86 operations at a time. this equals from 6 to 12 x86 instructions. this buffer size (24) is perfectly matched to the processors six-stage risc86 pipeline and four risc86-operations decode rate. the scheduler accepts as many as four risc86 operations at a time from the decoders and retires up to four risc86 operations per clock cycle. the icu is capable of simultaneously issuing up to six risc86 operations at a time to the execution units. this consists of the following types of operations: n memory load operation n memory store operation n complex integer, mmx or 3dnow! register operation n simple integer, mmx or 3dnow! register operation n floating-point register operation n branch condition evaluation registers. when managing the 24 risc86 operations, the icu uses 69 physical registers contained within the risc86 microarchitecture. 48 of the physical registers are located in a general register file and are grouped as 24 committed or architectural registers plus 24 rename registers. the 24 architectural registers consist of 16 scratch registers and 8 registers that correspond to the x86 general-purpose registers eax, ebx, ecx, edx, ebp, esp, esi, and edi. there is an analogous set of registers specifically for mmx and 3dnow! operations. there are 9 mmx/3dnow! committed or architectural registers plus 12 mmx/3dnow! rename registers. the 9 architectural registers consist of one scratch register and 8 registers that correspond to the mmx registers (mm0Cmm7), as shown in figure 17 on page 29. branch logic. the AMD-K6-2 processor is designed with highly sophisticated dynamic branch logic consisting of the following: n branch history/prediction table n branch target cache n return address stack
chapter 2 internal architecture 9 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information the AMD-K6-2 processor implements a two-level branch prediction scheme based on an 8192-entry branch history table. the branch history table stores prediction information that is used for predicting conditional branches. because the branch history table does not store predicted target addresses, special address alus calculate target addresses on-the-fly during instruction decode. the branch target cache augments predicted branch performance by avoiding a one clock cache-fetch penalty. this specialized target cache does this by supplying the first 16 bytes of target instructions to the decoders when branches are predicted. the return address stack is a unique device specifically designed for optimizing call and return pairs. in summary, the AMD-K6-2 processor uses dynamic branch logic to minimize delays due to the branch instructions that are common in x86 software. 3dnow!? technology. amd has taken a lead role in improving the multimedia and 3d capabilities of the x86 processor family with the introduction of 3dnow! technology, which uses a packed, single-precision, floating-point data format and single instruction multiple data (simd) operations based on the mmx technology model. 2.3 cache, instruction prefetch, and predecode bits the writeback level-one cache on the AMD-K6-2 processor is organized as a separate 32-kbyte instruction cache and a 32-kbyte data cache with two-way set associativity. the cache line size is 32 bytes and lines are prefetched from main memory using an efficient pipelined burst transaction. as the instruction cache is filled, each instruction byte is analyzed for instruction boundaries using predecoding logic. predecoding annotates information (5 bits per byte) to each instruction byte that later enables the decoders to efficiently decode multiple instructions simultaneously. cache the processor cache design takes advantage of a sectored organization (see figure 2 on page 10). each sector consists of 64 bytes configured as two 32-byte cache lines. the two cache lines of a sector share a common tag but have separate pairs of mesi (modified, exclusive, shared, invalid) bits that track the state of each cache line.
10 internal architecture chapter 2 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information two forms of cache misses and associated cache fills can take placea tag-miss cache fill and a tag-hit cache fill. in the case of a tag-miss cache fill, the miss is due to a tag mismatch, in which case the required cache line is filled from external memory, and the cache line within the sector that was not required is marked as invalid. in the case of a tag-hit cache fill, the address matches the tag, but the requested cache line is marked as invalid. the required cache line is filled from external memory, and the cache line within the sector that is not required remains in the same cache state. prefetching the AMD-K6-2 processor conditionally performs cache prefetching which results in the filling of the required cache line first, and a prefetch of the second cache line making up the other half of the sector. from the perspective of the external bus, the two cache-line fills typically appear as two 32-byte burst read cycles occurring back-to-back or, if allowed, as pipelined cycles. the 3dnow! technology includes an instruction called prefetch that allows a cache line to be prefetched into the data cache. the prefetch instruction format is defined in table 17, 3dnow!? instructions, on page 81. for more detailed information, see the 3dnow!? technology manual , order# 21928. predecode bits decoding x86 instructions is particularly difficult because the instructions are variable-length and can be from 1 to 15 bytes long. predecode logic supplies the five predecode bits that are associated with each instruction byte. the predecode bits indicate the number of bytes to the start of the next x86 instruction. the predecode bits are stored in an extended instruction cache alongside each x86 instruction byte as shown in figure 2. the predecode bits are passed with the instruction bytes to the decoders where they assist with parallel x86 instruction decoding. figure 2. cache sector organization tag address cache line 0 byte 31 predecode bits byte 30 predecode bits ........ ........ byte 0 predecode bits mesi bits cache line 1 byte 31 predecode bits byte 30 predecode bits ........ ........ byte 0 predecode bits mesi bits
chapter 2 internal architecture 11 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 2.4 instruction fetch and decode instruction fetch the processor can fetch up to 16 bytes per clock out of the instruction cache or branch target cache. the fetched information is placed into a 16-byte instruction buffer that feeds directly into the decoders (see figure 3). fetching can occur along a single execution stream with up to seven outstanding branches taken. the instruction fetch logic is capable of retrieving any 16 contiguous bytes of information within a 32-byte boundary. there is no additional penalty when the 16 bytes of instructions lie across a cache line boundary. the instruction bytes are loaded into the instruction buffer as they are consumed by the decoders. although instructions can be consumed with byte granularity, the instruction buffer is managed on a memory-aligned word (two bytes) organization. therefore, instructions are loaded and replaced with word granularity. when a control transfer occurssuch as a jmp instruction the entire instruction buffer is flushed and reloaded with a new set of 16 instruction bytes. figure 3. the instruction buffer 16 instruction bytes plus 16 sets of predecode bits branch-target cache 16 x 16 by tes 2:1 instruction buffer 16 bytes 16 bytes branch target address adders return address stack 16 x 16 bytes 32-kbyte level-one instruction cache fetch unit
12 internal architecture chapter 2 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information instruction decode the AMD-K6-2 processor decode logic is designed to decode multiple x86 instructions per clock (see figure 4). the decode logic accepts x86 instruction bytes and their predecode bits from the instruction buffer, locates the actual instruction boundaries, and generates risc86 operations from these x86 instructions. risc86 operations are fixed-length internal instructions. most risc86 operations execute in a single clock. risc86 operations are combined to perform every function of the x86 instruction set. some x86 instructions are decoded into as few as zero risc86 operationsfor instance a nopor one risc86 operationa register-to-register add. more complex x86 instructions are decoded into several risc86 operations. figure 4. amd-k6 ? -2 processor decode logic instruction buffer 4 risc86 operations long decoder short decoder #1 short decoder #2 vector address vector decoder risc86 ? sequencer on-chip rom
chapter 2 internal architecture 13 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information the AMD-K6-2 processor uses a combination of decoders to convert x86 instructions into risc86 operations. the hardware consists of three sets of decoderstwo parallel short decoders, one long decoder, and one vector decoder. the two parallel short decoders translate the most commonly-used x86 instructions (moves, shifts, branches, alu, fpu) and the extensions to the x86 instruction set (including mmx and 3dnow! instructions) into zero, one, or two risc86 operations each. the short decoders only operate on x86 instructions that are up to seven bytes long. in addition, they are designed to decode up to two x86 instructions per clock. the commonly-used x86 instructions that are greater than seven bytes but not more than 11 bytes long, and semi-commonly-used x86 instructions that are up to seven bytes long are handled by the long decoder. the long decoder only performs one decode per clock and generates up to four risc86 operations. all other translations (complex instructions, serializing conditions, interrupts and exceptions, etc.) are handled by a combination of the vector decoder and risc86 operation sequences fetched from an on-chip rom. for complex operations, the vector decoder logic provides the first set of risc86 operations and a vector (initial rom address) to a sequence of further risc86 operations. the same types of risc86 operations are fetched from the rom as those that are generated by the hardware decoders. note: although all three sets of decoders are simultaneously fed a copy of the instruction buffer contents, only one of the three types of decoders is used during any one decode clock. the decoders or the on-chip risc86 rom always generate a group of four risc86 operations. for decodes that cannot fill the entire group with four risc86 operations, risc86 nop operations are placed in the empty locations of the grouping. for example, a long-decoded x86 instruction that converts to only three risc86 operations is padded with a single risc86 nop operation and then passed to the scheduler. up to six groups or 24 risc86 operations can be placed in the scheduler at a time. all of the common, and a few of the uncommon, floating-point instructions (also known as esc instructions) are hardware decoded as short decodes. this decode generates a risc86 floating-point operation and, optionally, an associated floating-point load or store operation. floating-point or esc
14 internal architecture chapter 2 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information instruction decode is only allowed in the first short decoder, but non-esc instructions can be decoded simultaneously by the second short decoder along with an esc instruction decode in the first short decoder. all of the mmx and 3dnow! instructions, with the exception of the emms, femms, and prefetch instructions, are hardware decoded as short decodes. the mmx instruction decode generates a risc86 mmx operation and, optionally, an associated mmx load or store operation. a 3dnow! instruction decode generates a risc86 3dnow! operation and, optionally, an associated load or store operation. mmx and 3dnow! instructions can be decoded in either or both of the short decoders. 2.5 centralized scheduler the scheduler is the heart of the AMD-K6-2 processor (see figure 5 on page 15). it contains the logic necessary to manage out-of-order execution, data forwarding, register renaming, simultaneous issue and retirement of multiple risc86 operations, and speculative execution. the schedulers buffer can hold up to 24 risc86 operations. this equates to a maximum of 12 x86 instructions. the scheduler can issue risc86 operations from any of the 24 locations in the buffer. when possible, the scheduler can simultaneously issue a risc86 operation to any available execution unit (store, load, branch, register x integer/multimedia, register y integer/multimedia, or floating-point). in total, the scheduler can issue up to six and retire up to four risc86 operations per clock. the main advantage of the scheduler and its operation buffer is the ability to examine an x86 instruction window equal to 12 x86 instructions at one time. this advantage is due to the fact that the scheduler operates on the risc86 operations in parallel and allows the AMD-K6-2 processor to perform dynamic on-the-fly instruction code scheduling for optimized execution. although the scheduler can issue risc86 operations for out-of-order execution, it always retires x86 instructions in order.

18 internal architecture chapter 2 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information program behavior and its negative effects on instruction execution, such as stalls due to delayed instruction fetching and the draining of the processor pipeline. the branch logic contains an 8192-entry branch history table, a 16-entry by 16-byte branch target cache, a 16-entry return address stack, and a branch execution unit. branch history table the AMD-K6-2 processor handles unconditional branches without any penalty by redirecting instruction fetching to the target address of the unconditional branch. however, conditional branches require the use of the dynamic branch-prediction mechanism built into the AMD-K6-2 processor. a two-level adaptive history algorithm is implemented in an 8192-entry branch history table. this table stores executed branch information, predicts individual branches, and predicts the behavior of groups of branches. to accommodate the large branch history table, the AMD-K6-2 processor does not store predicted target addresses. instead, the branch target addresses are calculated on-the-fly using alus during the decode stage. the adders calculate all possible target addresses before the instructions are fully decoded and the processor chooses which addresses are valid. branch target cache to avoid a one clock cache-fetch penalty when a branch is predicted taken, a built-in branch target cache supplies the first 16 bytes of instructions directly to the instruction buffer (assuming the target address hits this cache). (see figure 3 on page 11.) the branch target cache is organized as 16 entries of 16 bytes. in total, the branch prediction logic achieves branch prediction rates greater than 95%. return address stack the return address stack is a special device designed to optimize call and ret pairs. software is typically compiled with subroutines that are frequently called from various places in a program. this is usually done to save space. entry into the subroutine occurs with the execution of a call instruction. at that time, the processor pushes the address of the next instruction in memory following the call instruction onto the stack (allocated space in memory). when the processor encounters a ret instruction (within or at the end of the subroutine), the branch logic pops the address from the stack and begins fetching from that location. to avoid the latency of main memory accesses during call and ret operations, the return address stack caches the pushed addresses.
chapter 2 internal architecture 19 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information branch execution unit the branch execution unit enables efficient speculative execution. this unit gives the processor the ability to execute instructions beyond conditional branches before knowing whether the branch prediction was correct. the AMD-K6-2 processor does not permanently update the x86 registers or memory locations until all speculatively executed conditional branch instructions are resolved. when a prediction is incorrect, the processor backs out to the point of the mispredicted branch instruction and restores all registers. the AMD-K6-2 processor can support up to seven outstanding branches.

chapter 4 signal descriptions 83 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4 signal descriptions 4.1 signal terminology the following terminology is used in this chapter: n driven the processor actively pulls the signal up to the high-voltage state or pulls the signal down to the low-voltage state. n floated the the signal is not being driven by the processor (high-impedance state), which allows another device to drive this signal. n asserted for all active-high signals, the term asserted means the signal is in the high-voltage state. for all active-low signals, the term asserted means the signal is in the low-voltage state. n negated for all active-high signals, the term negated means the signal is in the low-voltage state. for all active-low signals, the term negated means the signal is in the high-voltage state. n sampled the processor has measured the state of a signal at predefined points in time and will take the appropriate action based on the state of the signal. if a signal is not sampled by the processor, its assertion or negation has no effect on the operation of the processor. figure 52 on page 84 shows the signals grouped by function. the arrows in the figure indicate the direction of the signal, either into or out of the processor. signals with double-headed arrows are bidirectional. signals with pound signs (#) are active low.

chapter 4 signal descriptions 85 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.2 a20m# (address bit 20 mask) input summary a20m# is used to simulate the behavior of the 8086 when running in real mode. the assertion of a20m# causes the processor to force bit 20 of the physical address to 0 prior to accessing the cache or driving out a memory bus cycle. the clearing of address bit 20 maps addresses that extend above the 8086 1-mbyte limit to below 1 mbyte. sampled the processor samples a20m# as a level-sensitive input on every clock edge. the system logic can drive the signal either synchronously or asynchronously. if it is asserted asynchronously, it must be asserted for a minimum pulse width of two clocks. the following list explains the effects of the processor sampling a20m# asserted under various conditions: n inquire cycles and writeback cycles are not affected by the state of a20m#. n the assertion of a20m# in system management mode (smm) is ignored. n when a20m# is sampled asserted in protected mode, it causes unpredictable processor operation. a20m# is only defined in real mode. n to ensure that a20m# is recognized before the first ads# occurs following the negation of reset, a20m# must be sampled asserted on the same clock edge that reset is sampled negated or on one of the two subsequent clock edges. n to ensure a20m# is recognized before the execution of an instruction, a serializing instruction must be executed between the instruction that asserts a20m# and the targeted instruction.

chapter 4 signal descriptions 87 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.4 ads# (address strobe) output summary the assertion of ads# indicates the beginning of a new bus cycle. the address bus and all cycle definition signals corresponding to this bus cycle are driven valid off the same clock edge as ads#. driven and floated ads# is asserted for one clock at the beginning of each bus cycle. for non-pipelined cycles, ads# can be asserted as early as the clock edge after the clock edge on which the last expected brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted, resulting in a single idle state between cycles. for pipelined cycles if the processor is prepared to start a new cycle, ads# can be asserted as early as one clock edge after na# is sampled asserted. if ahold is sampled asserted, ads# is only driven in order to perform a writeback cycle due to an inquire cycle that hits a modified cache line. the processor floats ads# off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in recognition of hold. 4.5 adsc# (address strobe copy) output summary adsc# has the identical function and timing as ads#. in the event ads# becomes too heavily loaded due to a large fanout in a system, adsc# can be used to split the load across two outputs, which can improve system timing.
88 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.6 ahold (address hold) input summary ahold can be asserted by the system to initiate one or more inquire cycles. to allow the system to drive the address bus during an inquire cycle, the processor floats a[31:3] and ap off the clock edge on which ahold is sampled asserted. the data bus and all other control and status signals remain under the control of the processor and are not floated. this allows a bus cycle that is in progress when ahold is sampled asserted to continue to completion. the processor resumes driving the address bus off the clock edge on which ahold is sampled negated. if ahold is sampled asserted, ads# is only asserted in order to perform a writeback cycle due to an inquire cycle that hits a modified cache line. sampled the processor samples ahold on every clock edge. ahold is recognized while init and reset are sampled asserted.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 89 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.7 ap (address parity) bidirectional summary ap contains the even parity bit for cache line addresses driven and sampled on a[31:5]. even parity means that the total number of 1 bits on ap and a[31:5] is even. (a4 and a3 are not used for the generation or checking of address parity because these bits are not required to address a cache line.) ap is driven by the processor during processor-initiated cycles and is sampled by the processor during inquire cycles. if ap does not reflect even parity during an inquire cycle, the processor asserts apchk# to indicate an address bus parity check. the processor does not take an internal exception as the result of detecting an address bus parity check, and system logic must respond appropriately to the assertion of this signal. driven, sampled, and floated as an output: the processor drives ap valid off the clock edge on which ads# is asserted until the clock edge on which na# or the last expected brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. ap is driven during memory cycles, i/o cycles, special bus cycles, and interrupt acknowledge cycles. the processor continues to drive ap while the bus is idle. as an input: the processor samples ap during inquire cycles on the clock edge on which eads# is sampled asserted. the processor floats ap off the clock edge that ahold or boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in recognition of hold. the processor resumes driving ap off the clock edge on which the processor samples ahold or boff# negated and off the clock edge on which the processor negates hlda.
90 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.8 apchk# (address parity check) output summary if the processor detects an address parity error during an inquire cycle, apchk# is asserted for one clock. the processor does not take an internal exception as the result of detecting an address bus parity check, and system logic must respond appropriately to the assertion of this signal. the processor is designed so that apchk# does not glitch, enabling the signal to be used as a clocking source for system logic. driven apchk# is driven valid off the clock edge after the clock edge on which the processor samples eads# asserted. it is negated off the next clock edge. apchk # is always driven except in the tri-state test mode.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 91 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.9 be[7:0]# (byte enables) output summary be[7:0]# are used by the processor to indicate the valid data bytes during a write cycle and the requested data bytes during a read cycle. the byte enables can be used to derive address bits a[2:0], which are not physically part of the processors address bus. the processor checks and generates valid data parity for the data bytes that are valid as defined by the byte enables. the eight byte enables correspond to the eight bytes of the data bus as follows: the processor expects data to be driven by the system logic on all eight bytes of the data bus during a burst cache-line read cycle, independent of the byte enables that are asserted. the byte enables are also used to distinguish between special bus cycles as defined in table 25 on page 126. driven and floated be[7:0]# are driven off the same clock edge as ads# and remain in the same state until the clock edge on which na# or the last expected brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. be[7:0]# are driven during memory cycles, i/o cycles, special bus cycles, and interrupt acknowledge cycles. the processor floats be[7:0]# off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in recognition of hold. unlike the address bus, be[7:0]# are not floated in response to ahold. n be7#: d[63:56] n be3#: d[31:24] n be6#: d[55:48] n be2#: d[23:16] n be5#: d[47:40] n be1#: d[15:8] n be4#: d[39:32] n be0#: d[7:0]
92 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.10 bf[2:0] (bus frequency) inputs, internal pullups summary bf[2:0] determine the internal operating frequency of the processor. the frequency of the clk input signal is multiplied internally by a ratio determined by the state of these signals as defined in table 18. bf[2:0] have weak internal pullups and default to the 3.5 multiplier if left unconnected. table 18. processor-to-bus clock ratios sampled bf[2:0] are sampled during the falling transition of reset. they must meet a minimum setup time of 1.0 ms and a minimum hold time of two clocks relative to the negation of reset. state of bf[2:0] inputs processor-clock to bus-clock ratio 100b 2.5x 101b 3.0x 110b 2.0x or 6.0x* 111b 3.5x 000b 4.5x 001b 5.0x 010b 4.0x 011b 5.5x note: * the ratio selected is dependent on the stepping of the model 8. the 2.0x ratio is supported on the model 8/[7:0], whereas the 6.0x ratio is supported on the model 8/[f:8].
chapter 4 signal descriptions 93 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.11 boff# (backoff) input summary if boff# is sampled asserted, the processor unconditionally aborts any cycles in progress and transitions to a bus hold state by floating the following signals: a[31:3], ads#, adsc#, ap, be[7:0]#, cache#, d[63:0], d/c#, dp[7:0], lock#, m/io#, pcd, pwt, scyc, and w/r#. these signals remain floated until boff# is sampled negated. this allows an alternate bus master or the system to control the bus. when boff# is sampled negated, any processor cycle that was aborted due to the assertion of boff# is restarted from the beginning of the cycle, regardless of the number of transfers that were completed. if boff# is sampled asserted on the same clock edge as brdy# of a bus cycle of any length, then boff# takes precedence over the brdy#. in this case, the cycle is aborted and restarted after boff# is sampled negated. sampled boff# is sampled on every clock edge. the processor floats its bus signals off the clock edge on which boff# is sampled asserted. these signals remain floated until the clock edge on which boff# is sampled negated. boff# is recognized while init and reset are sampled asserted.
94 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.12 brdy# (burst ready) input, internal pullup summary brdy# is asserted to the processor by system logic to indicate either that the data bus is being driven with valid data during a read cycle or that the data bus has been latched during a write cycle. if necessary, the system logic can insert bus cycle wait states by negating brdy# until it is ready to continue the data transfer. brdy# is also used to indicate the completion of special bus cycles. sampled brdy# is sampled every clock edge within a bus cycle starting with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ads#. brdy# is ignored while the bus is idle. the processor samples the following inputs on the clock edge on which brdy# is sampled asserted: d[63:0], dp[7:0], and ken# during read cycles, ewbe# during write cycles (if not masked off), and wb/wt# during read and write cycles. if na# is sampled asserted prior to brdy#, then ken# and wb/wt# are sampled on the clock edge on which na# is sampled asserted. the number of times the processor expects to sample brdy# asserted depends on the type of bus cycle, as follows: n one time for a single-transfer cycle, a special bus cycle, or each of two cycles in an interrupt acknowledge sequence n four times for a burst cycle (once for each data transfer) brdy# can be held asserted for four consecutive clocks throughout the four transfers of the burst, or it can be negated to insert wait states.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 95 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.13 brdyc# (burst ready copy) input, internal pullup summary brdyc# has the identical function as brdy#. in the event brdy# becomes too heavily loaded due to a large fanout or loading in a system, brdyc# can be used to reduce this loading, which improves timing. in addition, brdyc# is sampled when reset is negated to configure the drive strength of a[20:3], ads#, hitm#, and w/r#. if brdyc# is 0 during the falling transition of reset, these particular outputs are configured using higher drive strengths than the standard strength. if brdyc# is 1 during the falling transition of reset, the standard strength is selected. sampled brdyc# is sampled every clock edge within a bus cycle starting with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ads#. brdyc# is also sampled during the falling transition of reset. if reset is driven synchronously, brdyc# must meet the specified hold time relative to the negation of reset. if reset is driven asynchronously, the minimum setup and hold time for brdyc# relative to the negation of reset is two clocks.
96 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.14 breq (bus request) output summary breq is asserted by the processor to request the bus in order to complete an internally pending bus cycle. the system logic can use breq to arbitrate among the bus participants. if the processor does not own the bus, breq is asserted until the processor gains access to the bus in order to begin the pending cycle or until the processor no longer needs to run the pending cycle. if the processor currently owns the bus, breq is asserted with ads#. the processor asserts breq for each assertion of ads# but does not necessarily assert ads# for each assertion of breq. driven breq is asserted off the same clock edge on which ads# is asserted. breq can also be asserted off any clock edge, independent of the assertion of ads#. breq can be negated one clock edge after it is asserted. the processor always drives breq except in the tri-state test mode. 4.15 cache# (cacheable access) output summary for reads, cache# is asserted to indicate the cacheability of the current bus cycle. in addition, if the processor samples ken# asserted, which indicates the driven address is cacheable, the cycle is a 32-byte burst read cycle. for write cycles, cache# is asserted to indicate the current bus cycle is a modified cache-line writeback. ken# is ignored during writebacks. if cache# is not asserted, or if ken# is sampled negated during a read cycle, the cycle is not cacheable and defaults to a single-transfer cycle. driven and floated cache# is driven off the same clock edge as ads# and remains in the same state until the clock edge on which na# or the last expected brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. cache# is floated off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in recognition of hold.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 97 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.16 clk (clock) input summary the clk signal is the bus clock for the processor and is the reference for all signal timings under normal operation (except for tdi, tdo, tms, and trst#). bf[2:0] determine the internal frequency multiplier applied to clk to obtain the processors core operating frequency. see bf[2:0] (bus frequency) on page 92 for a list of the processor-to-bus clock ratios. sampled the clk signal must be stable a minimum of 1.0 ms prior to the negation of reset to ensure the proper operation of the processor. see clk switching characteristics on page 267 for details regarding the clk specifications. 4.17 d/c# (data/code) output summary the processor drives d/c# during a memory bus cycle to indicate whether it is addressing data or executable code. d/c# is also used to define other bus cycles, including interrupt acknowledge and special cycles. see table 25 on page 126 for more details. driven and floated d/c# is driven off the same clock edge as ads# and remains in the same state until the clock edge on which na# or the last expected brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. d/c# is driven during memory cycles, i/o cycles, special bus cycles, and interrupt acknowledge cycles. d/c# is floated off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in recognition of hold.
98 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.18 d[63:0] (data bus) bidirectional summary d[63:0] represent the processors 64-bit data bus. each of the eight bytes of data that comprise this bus is qualified as valid by its corresponding byte enable. see be[7:0]# (byte enables) on page 91. driven, sampled, and floated as outputs: for single-transfer write cycles, the processor drives d[63:0] with valid data one clock edge after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted and d[63:0] remain in the same state until the clock edge on which brdy# is sampled asserted. if the cycle is a writebackin which case four, 8-byte transfers occurd[63:0] are driven one clock edge after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted and are subsequently changed off the clock edge on which each brdy# assertion of the burst cycle is sampled. if the assertion of ads# represents a pipelined write cycle that follows a read cycle, the processor does not drive d[63:0] until it is certain that contention on the data bus will not occur. in this case, d[63:0] are driven the clock edge after the last expected brdy# of the previous cycle is sampled asserted. as inputs: during read cycles, the processor samples d[63:0] on the clock edge on which brdy# is sampled asserted. the processor always floats d[63:0] except when they are being driven during a write cycle as described above. in addition, d[63:0] are floated off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in recognition of hold.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 99 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.19 dp[7:0] (data parity) bidirectional summary dp[7:0] are even parity bits for each valid byte of dataas defined by be[7:0]#driven and sampled on the d[63:0] data bus. even parity means that the total number of 1 bits within each byte of data and its respective data parity bit is an even number. dp[7:0] are driven by the processor during write cycles and sampled by the processor during read cycles. if the processor detects bad parity on any valid byte of data during a read cycle, pchk# is asserted for one clock beginning the clock edge after brdy# is sampled asserted. the processor does not take an internal exception as the result of detecting a data parity check, and system logic must respond appropriately to the assertion of this signal. the eight data parity bits correspond to the eight bytes of the data bus as follows: for systems that do not support data parity, dp[7:0] should be connected to v cc3 through pullup resistors. driven, sampled, and floated as outputs: for single-transfer write cycles, the processor drives dp[7:0] with valid parity one clock edge after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted and dp[7:0] remain in the same state until the clock edge on which brdy# is sampled asserted. if the cycle is a writeback, dp[7:0] are driven one clock edge after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted and are subsequently changed off the clock edge on which each brdy# assertion of the burst cycle is sampled. as inputs: during read cycles, the processor samples dp[7:0] on the clock edge brdy# is sampled asserted. the processor always floats dp[7:0] except when they are being driven during a write cycle as described above. in addition, dp[7:0] are floated off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in recognition of hold. n dp7: d[63:56] n dp3: d[31:24] n dp6: d[55:48] n dp2: d[23:16] n dp5: d[47:40] n dp1: d[15:8] n dp4: d[39:32] n dp0: d[7:0]
100 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.20 eads# (external address strobe) input summary system logic asserts eads# during a cache inquire cycle to indicate that the address bus contains a valid address. eads# can only be driven after the system logic has taken control of the address bus by asserting ahold or boff# or by receiving hlda. the processor responds to the sampling of eads# and the address bus by driving hit#, which indicates if the inquired cache line exists in the processors cache, and hitm#, which indicates if it is in the modified state. sampled if ahold or boff# is asserted by the system logic in order to execute a cache inquire cycle, the processor begins sampling eads# two clock edges after ahold or boff# is sampled asserted. if the system logic asserts hold in order to execute a cache inquire cycle, the processor begins sampling eads# two clock edges after the clock edge hlda is asserted by the processor. eads# is ignored during the following conditions: n one clock edge after the clock edge on which eads# is sampled asserted n two clock edges after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted n when the processor is driving the address bus n when the processor asserts hitm#
chapter 4 signal descriptions 101 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.21 ewbe# (external write buffer empty) input summary the system logic can negate ewbe# to the processor to indicate that its external write buffers are full and that additional data cannot be stored at this time. this causes the processor to delay the following activities until ewbe# is sampled asserted: n the commitment of write hit cycles to cache lines in the modified state or exclusive state in the processors cache n the decode and execution of an instruction that follows a currently-executing serializing instruction n the assertion or negation of smiact# n the entering of the halt state and the stop grant state negating ewbe# does not prevent the completion of any type of cycle that is currently in progress. sampled the processor samples ewbe# on each clock edge that brdy# is sampled asserted during all memory write cycles (except writeback cycles), i/o write cycles, and special bus cycles. if ewbe# is sampled negated, it is sampled on every clock edge until it is asserted, and then it is ignored until brdy# is sampled asserted in the next write cycle or special cycle. on the AMD-K6-2 model 8/[f:8] processor, if efer[3] is set to 1, then ewbe# is ignored by the processor. for more information on the efer settings and ewbe#, see ewbe control on page 201.
102 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.22 ferr# (floating-point error) output summary the assertion of ferr# indicates the occurrence of an unmasked floating-point exception resulting from the execution of a floating-point instruction. this signal is provided to allow the system logic to handle this exception in a manner consistent with ibm- compatible pc/at systems. see handling floating-point exceptions on page 207 for a system logic implementation that supports floating-point exceptions. the state of the numeric error (ne) bit in cr0 does not affect the ferr# signal. the processor is designed so that ferr# does not glitch, enabling the signal to be used as a clocking source for system logic. driven the processor asserts ferr# on the instruction boundary of the next floating-point instruction, mmx instruction, 3dnow! instruction, or wait instruction that occurs following the floating-point instruction that caused the unmasked floating-point exceptionthat is, ferr# is not asserted at the time the exception occurs. the ignne# signal does not affect the assertion of ferr#. ferr# is negated during the following conditions: n following the successful execution of the floating-point instructions fclex, finit, fsave, and fstenv n under certain circumstances, following the successful execution of the floating-point instructions fldcw, fldenv, and frstor, which load the floating-point status word or the floating-point control word n following the falling transition of reset ferr# is always driven except in the tri-state test mode. see ignne# (ignore numeric exception) on page 106 for more details on floating-point exceptions.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 103 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.23 flush# (cache flush) input summary in response to sampling flush# asserted, the processor writes back any data cache lines that are in the modified state, invalidates all lines in the instruction and data caches, and then executes a flush acknowledge special cycle. see table 25 on page 126 for the bus definition of special cycles. in addition, flush# is sampled when reset is negated to determine if the processor enters the tri-state test mode. if flush# is 0 during the falling transition of reset, the processor enters the tri-state test mode instead of performing the normal reset functions. sampled flush# is sampled and latched as a falling edge-sensitive signal. during normal operation (not reset), flush# is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until the next instruction boundary. if flush# is asserted synchronously, it can be asserted for a minimum of one clock. if flush# is asserted asynchronously, it must have been negated for a minimum of two clocks, followed by an assertion of a minimum of two clocks. flush# is also sampled during the falling transition of reset. if reset and flush# are driven synchronously, flush# is sampled on the clock edge prior to the clock edge on which reset is sampled negated. if reset is driven asynchronously, the minimum setup and hold time for flush#, relative to the negation of reset, is two clocks.
104 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.24 hit# (inquire cycle hit) output summary the processor asserts hit# during an inquire cycle to indicate that the cache line is valid within the processors instruction or data cache (also known as a cache hit). the cache line can be in the modified, exclusive, or shared state. driven hit# is always drivenexcept in the tri-state test modeand only changes state the clock edge after the clock edge on which eads# is sampled asserted. it is driven in the same state until the next inquire cycle. 4.25 hitm# (inquire cycle hit to modified line) output summary the processor asserts hitm# during an inquire cycle to indicate that the cache line exists in the processors data cache in the modified state. the processor performs a writeback cycle as a result of this cache hit. if an inquire cycle hits a cache line that is currently being written back, the processor asserts hitm# but does not execute another writeback cycle. the system logic must not expect the processor to assert ads# each time hitm# is asserted. driven hitm# is always drivenexcept in the tri-state test mode and, in particular, is driven to represent the result of an inquire cycle the clock edge after the clock edge on which eads# is sampled asserted. if hitm# is negated in response to the inquire address, it remains negated until the next inquire cycle. if hitm# is asserted in response to the inquire address, it remains asserted throughout the writeback cycle and is negated one clock edge after the last brdy# of the writeback is sampled asserted.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 105 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.26 hlda (hold acknowledge) output summary when hold is sampled asserted, the processor completes the current bus cycles, floats the processor bus, and asserts hlda in an acknowledgment that these events have been completed. the processor does not assert hlda until the completion of a locked sequence of cycles. while hlda is asserted, another bus master can drive cycles on the bus, including inquire cycles to the processor. the following signals are floated when hlda is asserted: a[31:3], ads#, adsc#, ap, be[7:0]#, cache#, d[63:0], d/c#, dp[7:0], lock#, m/io#, pcd, pwt, scyc, and w/r#. the processor is designed so that hlda does not glitch. driven hlda is always driven except in the tri-state test mode. if a processor cycle is in progress while hold is sampled asserted, hlda is asserted one clock edge after the last brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. if the bus is idle, hlda is asserted one clock edge after hold is sampled asserted. hlda is negated one clock edge after the clock edge on which hold is sampled negated. the assertion of hlda is independent of the sampled state of boff#. the processor floats the bus every clock in which hlda is asserted. 4.27 hold (bus hold request) input summary the system logic can assert hold to gain control of the processors bus. when hold is sampled asserted, the processor completes the current bus cycles, floats the processor bus, and asserts hlda in an acknowledgment that these events have been completed. sampled the processor samples hold on every clock edge. if a processor cycle is in progress while hold is sampled asserted, hlda is asserted one clock edge after the last brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. if the bus is idle, hlda is asserted one clock edge after hold is sampled asserted. hold is recognized while init and reset are sampled asserted.
10 6 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.28 ignne# (ignore numeric exception) input summary ignne#, in conjunction with the numeric error (ne) bit in cr0, is used by the system logic to control the effect of an unmasked floating-point exception on a previous floating-point instruction during the execution of a floating-point instruction, mmx instruction, 3dnow! instruction, or the wait instruction hereafter referred to as the target instruction. if an unmasked floating-point exception is pending and the target instruction is considered error-sensitive, then the relationship between ne and ignne# is as follows: n if ne = 0, then: ? if ignne# is sampled asserted, the processor ignores the floating-point exception and continues with the execution of the target instruction. ? if ignne# is sampled negated, the processor waits until it samples ignne#, intr, smi#, nmi, or init asserted. if ignne# is sampled asserted while waiting, the processor ignores the floating-point exception and continues with the execution of the target instruction. if intr, smi#, nmi, or init is sampled asserted while waiting, the processor handles its assertion appropriately. n if ne = 1, the processor invokes the int 10h exception handler. if an unmasked floating-point exception is pending and the target instruction is considered error-insensitive, then the processor ignores the floating-point exception and continues with the execution of the target instruction. ferr# is not affected by the state of the ne bit or ignne#. ferr# is always asserted at the instruction boundary of the target instruction that follows the floating-point instruction that caused the unmasked floating-point exception. this signal is provided to allow the system logic to handle exceptions in a manner consistent with ibm-compatible pc/at systems.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 107 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information sampled the processor samples ignne# as a level-sensitive input on every clock edge. the system logic can drive the signal either synchronously or asynchronously. if it is asserted asynchronously, it must be asserted for a minimum pulse width of two clocks. 4.29 init (initialization) input summary the assertion of init causes the processor to empty its pipelines, to initialize most of its internal state, and to branch to address ffff_fff0hthe same instruction execution starting point used after reset. unlike reset, the processor preserves the contents of its caches, the floating-point state, the mmx state, model-specific registers, the cd and nw bits of the cr0 register, and other specific internal resources. init can be used as an accelerator for 80286 code that requires a reset to exit from protected mode back to real mode. sampled init is sampled and latched as a rising edge-sensitive signal. init is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until the next instruction boundary. during an i/o write cycle, it must be sampled asserted a minimum of three clock edges before brdy# is sampled asserted if it is to be recognized on the boundary between the i/o write instruction and the following instruction. if init is asserted synchronously, it can be asserted for a minimum of one clock. if it is asserted asynchronously, it must have been negated for a minimum of two clocks, followed by an assertion of a minimum of two clocks.
10 8 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.30 intr (maskable interrupt) input summary intr is the systems maskable interrupt input to the processor. when the processor samples and recognizes intr asserted, the processor executes a pair of interrupt acknowledge bus cycles and then jumps to the interrupt service routine specified by the interrupt number that was returned during the interrupt acknowledge sequence. the processor only recognizes intr if the interrupt flag (if) in the eflags register equals 1. sampled the processor samples intr as a level-sensitive input on every clock edge, but the interrupt request is not recognized until the next instruction boundary. the system logic can drive intr either synchronously or asynchronously. if it is asserted asynchronously, it must be asserted for a minimum pulse width of two clocks. in order to be recognized, intr must remain asserted until an interrupt acknowledge sequence is complete. 4.31 inv (invalidation request) input summary during an inquire cycle, the state of inv determines whether an addressed cache line that is found in the processors instruction or data cache transitions to the invalid state or the shared state. if inv is sampled asserted during an inquire cycle, the processor transitions the cache line (if found) to the invalid state, regardless of its previous state. if inv is sampled negated during an inquire cycle, the processor transitions the cache line (if found) to the shared state. in either case, if the cache line is found in the modified state, the processor writes it back to memory before changing its state. sampled inv is sampled on the clock edge on which eads# is sampled asserted.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 109 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.32 ken# (cache enable) input summary if ken# is sampled asserted, it indicates that the address presented by the processor is cacheable. if ken# is sampled asserted and the processor intends to perform a cache-line fill (signified by the assertion of cache#), the processor executes a 32-byte burst read cycle and expects to sample brdy# asserted a total of four times. if ken# is sampled negated during a read cycle, a single-transfer cycle is executed and the processor does not cache the data. for write cycles, cache# is asserted to indicate the current bus cycle is a modified cache-line writeback. ken# is ignored during writebacks. if pcd is asserted during a bus cycle, the processor does not cache any data read during that cycle, regardless of the state of ken# . see pcd (page cache disable) on page 113 for more details. if the processor has sampled the state of ken# during a cycle, and that cycle is aborted due to the sampling of boff# asserted, the system logic must ensure that ken# is sampled in the same state when the processor restarts the aborted cycle. sampled ken# is sampled on the clock edge on which the first brdy# or na# of a read cycle is sampled asserted. if the read cycle is a burst, ken# is ignored during the last three assertions of brdy#. ken# is sampled during read cycles only when cache# is asserted.
110 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.33 lock# (bus lock) output summary the processor asserts lock# during a sequence of bus cycles to ensure that the cycles are completed without allowing other bus masters to intervene. locked operations consist of two to five bus cycles. lock# is asserted during the following operations: n an interrupt acknowledge sequence n descriptor table accesses n page directory and page table accesses n xchg instruction n an instruction with an allowable lock prefix in order to ensure that locked operations appear on the bus and are visible to the entire system, any data operands addressed during a locked cycle that reside in the processors cache are flushed and invalidated from the cache prior to the locked operation. if the cache line is in the modified state, it is written back and invalidated prior to the locked operation. likewise, any data read during a locked operation is not cached. the processor is designed so that lock# does not glitch. driven and floated during a locked cycle, lock# is asserted off the same clock edge on which ads# is asserted and remains asserted until the last brdy# of the last bus cycle is sampled asserted. the processor negates lock# for at least one clock between consecutive sequences of locked operations to allow the system logic to arbitrate for the bus. lock# is floated off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in response to hold. when lock# is floated due to boff# sampled asserted, the system logic is responsible for preserving the lock condition while lock# is in the high-impedance state.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 111 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.34 m/io# (memory or i/o) output summary the processor drives m/io# during a bus cycle to indicate whether it is addressing the memory or i/o space. if m/io# = 1, the processor is addressing memory or a memory-mapped i/o port as the result of an instruction fetch or an instruction that loads or stores data. if m/io# = 0, the processor is addressing an i/o port during the execution of an i/o instruction. in addition, m/io# is used to define other bus cycles, including interrupt acknowledge and special cycles. see table 25 on page 126 for more details. driven and floated m/io# is driven off the same clock edge as ads# and remains in the same state until the clock edge on which na# or the last expected brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. m/io# is driven during memory cycles, i/o cycles, special bus cycles, and interrupt acknowledge cycles. m/io# is floated off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in response to hold.
112 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.35 na# (next address) input summary system logic asserts na# to indicate to the processor that it is ready to accept another bus cycle pipelined into the previous bus cycle. ads#, along with address and status signals, can be asserted as early as one clock edge after na# is sampled asserted if the processor is prepared to start a new cycle. because the processor allows a maximum of two cycles to be in progress at a time, the assertion of na# is sampled while two cycles are in progress but ads# is not asserted until the completion of the first cycle. sampled na# is sampled every clock edge during bus cycles, starting one clock edge after the clock edge that negates ads#, until the last expected brdy# of the last executed cycle is sampled asserted (with the exception of the clock edge after the clock edge that negates the ads# for a second pending cycle). because the processor latches na# when sampled, the system logic only needs to assert na# for one clock. 4.36 nmi (non-maskable interrupt) input summary when nmi is sampled asserted, the processor jumps to the interrupt service routine defined by interrupt number 02h. unlike the intr signal, software cannot mask the effect of nmi if it is sampled asserted by the processor. however, nmi is temporarily masked upon entering system management mode (smm). in addition, an interrupt acknowledge cycle is not executed because the interrupt number is predefined. if nmi is sampled asserted while the processor is executing the interrupt service routine for a previous nmi, the subsequent nmi remains pending until the completion of the execution of the iret instruction at the end of the interrupt service routine. sampled nmi is sampled and latched as a rising edge-sensitive signal. during normal operation, nmi is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until the next instruction boundary. if it is asserted synchronously, it can be asserted for a minimum of one clock. if it is asserted asynchronously, it must have been negated for a minimum of two clocks, followed by an assertion of a minimum of two clocks.
chapter 4 signal descriptions 113 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 4.37 pcd (page cache disable) output summary the processor drives pcd to indicate the operating systems specification of cacheability for the page being addressed. system logic can use pcd to control external caching. if pcd is asserted, the addressed page is not cached. if pcd is negated, the cacheability of the addressed page depends upon the state of cache# and ken#. the state of pcd depends upon the processors operating mode and the state of certain bits in its control registers and tlb as follows: n in real mode, or in protected and virtual-8086 modes while paging is disabled (pg bit in cr0 set to 0): pcd output = cd bit in cr0 n in protected and virtual-8086 modes while caching is enabled (cd bit in cr0 set to 0) and paging is enabled (pg bit in cr0 set to 1): ? for accesses to i/o space, page directory entries, and other non-paged accesses: pcd output = pcd bit in cr3 ? for accesses to 4-kbyte page table entries or 4-mbyte pages: pcd output = pcd bit in page directory entry ? for accesses to 4-kbyte pages: pcd output = pcd bit in page table entry driven and floated pcd is driven off the same clock edge as ads# and remains in the same state until the clock edge on which na# or the last expected brdy# of the cycle is sampled asserted. pcd is floated off the clock edge that boff# is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts hlda in response to hold.
114 signal descriptions chapter 4 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 4.38 pchk# (parity check) output summary the processor asserts pchk# during read cycles if it detects an even parity error on one or more valid bytes of d[63:0] during a read cycle. (even parity means that the total number of 1 bits within each byte of data and its respective data parity bit is even.) the processor checks data parity for the data bytes that are valid, as defined by be[7:0]#, the byte enables. pchk# is always driven but is only asserted for memory and i/o read bus cycles and the second cycle of an interrupt acknowledge sequence. pchk# is not driven during any type of write cycles or special bus cycles. the processor does not take an internal exception as the result of detecting a data parity error, and system logic must respond appropriately to the assertion of this signal. the processor is designed so that pchk# does not glitch, enabling the signal to be used as a clocking source for system logic. driven pchk# is always driven except in the tri-state test mode. for each brdy# returned to the processor during a read cycle with a parity error detected on the data bus, pchk# is asserted for one clock, one clock edge after brdy# is sampled asserted.

chapter 5 bus cycles 127 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 5 bus cycles the following sections describe and illustrate the timing and relationship of bus signals during various types of bus cycles. a representative set of bus cycles is illustrated. 5.1 timing diagrams the timing diagrams illustrate the signals on the external local bus as a function of time, as measured by the bus clock (clk). throughout this chapter, the term clock refers to a single bus-clock cycle. a clock extends from one rising clk edge to the next rising clk edge. the processor samples and drives most signals relative to the rising edge of clk. the exceptions to this rule include the following: n bf[2:0]sampled on the falling edge of reset n flush#, brdyc#sampled on the falling edge of reset, also sampled on the rising edge of clk n all inputs and outputs are sampled relative to tck in boundary-scan test mode. inputs are sampled on the rising edge of tck, outputs are driven off of the falling edge of tck. for each signal in the timing diagrams, the high level represents 1, the low level represents 0, and the middle level represents the floating (high-impedance) state. when both the high and low levels are shown, the meaning depends on the signal. a single signal indicates dont care. in the case of bus activity, if both high and low levels are shown, it indicates the processor, alternate master, or system logic is driving a value, but this value may or may not be valid. (for example, the value on the address bus is valid only during the assertion of ads#, but addresses are also driven on the bus at other times.) figure 53 defines the different waveform representations.

chapter 5 bus cycles 131 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information sampled asserted). if the last brdy# is not sampled asserted, the processor enters the pipeline data state. if the processor samples the last brdy# asserted in this state, it determines if a bus transition is required between the current bus cycle and the pipelined bus cycle. a bus transition is required when the data bus direction changes between bus cycles, such as a memory write cycle followed by a memory read cycle. if a bus transition is required, the processor enters the transition state for one clock to prevent data bus contention. if a bus transition is not required, the processor enters the data state. the processor does not transition to the data-na# requested state from the pipeline address state because the processor does not begin sampling na# until it has exited the pipeline address state. pipeline data two bus cycles are concurrently executing in this state. the processor cannot issue any additional bus cycles until the current bus cycle is completed. the processor drives the data bus during write cycles or expects data to be returned during read cycles for the current bus cycle until the last brdy# of the current bus cycle is sampled asserted. if the processor samples the last brdy# asserted in this state, it determines if a bus transition is required between the current bus cycle and the pipelined bus cycle. if the bus transition is required, the processor enters the transition state for one clock to prevent data bus contention. if a bus transition is not required, the processor enters the data state (na# was not sampled asserted) or the data-na# requested state (na# was sampled asserted). transition the processor enters this state for one clock during data bus transitions and enters the data state on the next clock edge if na# is not sampled asserted. the sole purpose of this state is to avoid bus contention caused by bus transitions during pipeline operation.
132 bus cycles chapter 5 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 5.3 memory reads and writes the AMD-K6-2 processor performs single or burst memory bus cycles. the single-transfer memory bus cycle transfers 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes and requires a minimum of two clocks. misaligned instructions or operands result in a split cycle, which requires multiple transactions on the bus. a burst cycle consists of four back-to-back 8-byte (64-bit) transfers on the data bus. single-transfer memory read and write figure 55 shows a single-transfer read from memory, followed by two single-transfer writes to memory. for the memory read cycle, the processor asserts ads# for one clock to validate the bus cycle and also drives a[31:3], be[7:0]#, d/c#, w/r#, and m/io# to the bus. the processor then waits for the system logic to return the data on d[63:0] (with dp[7:0] for parity checking) and assert brdy#. the processor samples brdy# on every clock edge starting with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ads# . see brdy# (burst ready) on page 94. during the read cycle, the processor drives pcd, pwt, and cache# to indicate its caching and cache-coherency intent for the access. the system logic returns ken# and wb/wt# to either confirm or change this intent. if the processor asserts pcd and negates cache#, the accesses are noncacheable, even though the system logic asserts ken# during the brdy# to indicate its support for cacheability. the processor (which drives cache#) and the system logic (which drives ken#) must agree in order for an access to be cacheable. the processor can drive another cycle (in this example, a write cycle) by asserting ads# off the next clock edge after brdy# is sampled asserted. therefore, an idle clock is guaranteed between any two bus cycles. the processor drives d[63:0] with valid data one clock edge after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted. to minimize processor idle times, the system logic stores the address and data in write buffers, returns brdy#, and performs the store to memory later. if the processor samples ewbe# negated during a write cycle, it suspends certain activities until ewbe# is sampled asserted. see ewbe# (external write buffer empty) on page 101. in figure 55, the second write cycle occurs during the execution of a serializing instruction. the processor delays the following cycle until ewbe# is sampled asserted.

136 bus cycles chapter 5 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information burst reads and pipelined burst reads figure 57 shows normal burst read cycles and a pipelined burst read cycle. the AMD-K6-2 processor drives cache# and ads# together to specify that the current bus cycle is a burst cycle. if the processor samples ken# asserted with the first brdy#, it performs burst transfers. during the burst transfers, the system logic must ignore be[7:0]# and must return all eight bytes beginning at the starting address the processor asserts on a[31:3]. depending on the starting address, the system logic must determine the successive quadword addresses (a[4:3]) for each transfer in a burst, as shown in table 27. the processor expects the second, third, and fourth quadwords to occur in the sequences shown in table 27. in figure 57, the processor drives cache# throughout all burst read cycles. in the first burst read cycle, the processor drives ads# and cache#, then samples brdy# on every clock edge starting with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ads#. the processor samples ken# asserted on the clock edge on which the first brdy# is sampled asserted, executes a 32-byte burst read cycle, and expects a total of four brdy# signals. an ideal no-wait state access is shown in figure 57, whereas most system logic solutions add wait states between the transfers. the second burst read cycle illustrates a similar sequence, but the processor samples na# asserted on the same clock edge that the first brdy# is sampled asserted. na# assertion indicates the system logic is requesting the processor to output the next address early (also known as a pipeline transfer request). without waiting for the current cycle to complete, the processor drives ads# and related signals for the next burst cycle. pipelining can reduce processor cycle-to-cycle idle times. table 27. a[4:3] address-generation sequence during bursts address driven by processor on a[4:3] a[4:3] addresses of subsequent quadwords* generated by system logic quadword 1 quadword 2 quadword 3 quadword 4 00b 01b 10b 11b 01b 00b 11b 10b 10b 11b 00b 01b 11b 10b 01b 00b note: * quadword = 8 bytes

138 bus cycles chapter 5 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information burst writeback figure 58 shows a burst read followed by a writeback transaction. the AMD-K6-2 processor initiates writebacks under the following conditions: n replacement if a cache-line fill is initiated for a cache line currently filled with valid entries, the processor selects a line for replacement based on a least-recently-used (lru) algorithm for the instruction cache, and a least-recently-allocated (lra) algorithm for the data cache. before a replacement is made to a l1 data cache line that is in the modified state, the modified line is scheduled to be written back to memory. n internal snoop the processor snoops its instruction cache during read or write misses to its data cache, and it snoops its data cache during read misses to its instruction cache. this snooping is performed to determine whether the same address is stored in both caches, a situation that is taken to imply the occurrence of self-modifying code. if a snoop hits a data cache line in the modified state, the line is written back to memory before being invalidated. n wbinvd instruction when the processor executes a wbinvd instruction, it writes back all modified lines in the data cache and then invalidates all lines in both caches. n cache flush when the processor samples flush# asserted, it executes a flush acknowledge special cycle and writes back all modified lines in the data cache and then invalidates all lines in both caches. the processor drives writeback cycles during inquire or cache flush cycles. the writeback shown in figure 58 is caused by a cache-line replacement. the processor completes the burst read cycle that fills the cache line. immediately following the burst read cycle is the burst writeback cycle that represents the modified line to be written back to memory. d[63:0] are driven one clock edge after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted and are subsequently changed off the clock edge on which each of the four brdy# signals of the burst cycle are sampled asserted.

(in this example, an i/o write cycle.) the i/o write cycle is similar to a memory write cycle, but the processor drives m/io# low during an i/o write cycle. the processor asserts ads# to initiate the bus cycle. the processor drives d[63:0] with valid data one clock edge after the clock edge on which ads# is asserted. the system logic must assert brdy# when the data is properly stored to the i/o destination. the processor samples brdy# on every clock edge starting with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ads#. in this example, two wait states are inserted while the processor waits for brdy# to be asserted. figure 59. basic i/o read and write i/o read cycle i/o write cycle clk a[31:3] be[7:0]# ads# m/io# d/c# w/r# d[63:0] brdy# addr data data idle addr data data data idle

( s hared and exclusive cache lines have not been modified and do not need to be written back.) during an inquire cycle, the processor samples inv to determine whether the addressed cache line found in the processors instruction or data cache transitions to the invalid state or the shared state. in this example, the processor samples inv asserted with eads#, which invalidates the cache line. the system logic can negate hold off the same clock edge on which eads# is sampled asserted. the processor continues driving hit# in the same state until the next inquire cycle. hitm# is not asserted unless hit# is asserted.

148 bus cycles chapter 5 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information ahold-initiated inquire miss ahold can be asserted by the system to initiate one or more inquire cycles. to allow the system to drive the address bus during an inquire cycle, the processor floats a[31:3] and ap off the clock edge on which ahold is sampled asserted. the data bus and all other control and status signals remain under the control of the processor and are not floated. this functionality allows a bus cycle in progress when ahold is sampled asserted to continue to completion. the processor resumes driving the address bus off the clock edge on which ahold is sampled negated. in figure 64, the processor samples ahold asserted during the memory burst read cycle, and it floats the address bus off the same clock edge on which it samples ahold asserted. while the processor still controls the bus, it completes the current cycle until the last expected brdy# is sampled asserted. the system logic drives eads# with an inquire address on a[31:5] during an inquire cycle. the processor samples eads# asserted and compares the inquire address to its tag address in both the instruction and data caches. in figure 64, the inquire address misses the tag address in the processor (both hit# and hitm# are negated). therefore, the processor proceeds to the next cycle when it samples ahold negated. (the processor can drive a new cycle by asserting ads# off the same clock edge that it samples ahold negated.) for an ahold-initiated inquire cycle to be recognized, the processor must sample ahold asserted for at least two consecutive clocks before it samples eads# asserted. if the processor detects an address parity error during an inquire cycle, apchk# is asserted for one clock. the system logic must respond appropriately to the assertion of this signal.

(hit# is driven in the same state until the next inquire cycle.) the processor samples inv asserted during the inquire cycle and transitions the line to the invalid state regardless of its previous state. during an ahold-initiated inquire cycle, the processor samples ahold on every clock edge until it is negated. in figure 65, the processor asserts ads# off the same clock on which ahold is sampled negated. if the inquire cycle hits a modified line, the processor performs a writeback cycle before it drives a new bus cycle. the next section describes the ahold-initiated inquire cycle that hits a modified line.

154 bus cycles chapter 5 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information ahold restriction when the system logic drives an ahold-initiated inquire cycle, it must assert ahold for at least two clocks before it asserts eads#. this requirement guarantees the processor recognizes and responds to the inquire cycle properly. the processors 32 address bus drivers turn on almost immediately after ahold is sampled negated. if the processor switches the data bus (d[63:0] and dp[7:0]) during a write cycle off the same clock edge that switches the address bus (a[31:3] and ap), the processor switches 102 drivers simultaneously, which can lead to ground-bounce spikes. therefore, before negating ahold the following restrictions must be observed by the system logic: n when the system logic negates ahold during a write cycle, it must ensure that ahold is not sampled negated on the clock edge on which brdy# is sampled asserted (see figure 67). n when the system logic negates ahold during a writeback cycle, it must ensure that ahold is not sampled negated on the clock edge on which ads# is negated (see figure 67). n when a write cycle is pipelined into a read cycle, ahold must not be sampled negated on the clock edge after the clock edge on which the last brdy# of the read cycle is sampled asserted to avoid the processor simultaneously driving the data bus (for the pending write cycle) and the address bus off this same clock edge.

(see boff# (backoff) on page 93.) figure 68 shows a read cycle that is aborted when the processor samples boff# asserted even though brdy# is sampled asserted on the same clock edge. the read cycle is restarted after boff# is sampled negated (ken# must be in the same state during the restarted cycle as its state during the aborted cycle). during a boff#-initiated inquire cycle that hits a shared or exclusive line, the processor samples boff# negated and restarts any bus cycle that was aborted when boff# was asserted. if a boff#-initiated inquire cycle hits a modified line, the processor performs a writeback cycle before it restarts the aborted cycle. if the processor samples boff# asserted on the same clock edge that it asserts ads#, ads# is floated but the system logic may erroneously interpret ads# as asserted. in this case, the system logic must properly interpret the state of ads# when boff# is negated.

170 bus cycles chapter 5 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information init-initiated transition from protected mode to real mode init is typically asserted in response to a bios interrupt that writes to an i/o port. this interrupt is often in response to a ctrl-alt-del keyboard input. the bios writes to a port (similar to port 64h in the keyboard controller) that asserts init. init is also used to support 80286 software that must return to real mode after accessing extended memory in protected mode. the assertion of init causes the processor to empty its pipelines, initialize most of its internal state, and branch to address ffff_fff0h the same instruction execution starting point used after reset. unlike reset, the processor preserves the contents of its caches, the floating-point state, the mmx state, model-specific registers (msrs), the cd and nw bits of the cr0 register, the time stamp counter, and other specific internal resources. figure 76 shows an example in which the operating system writes to an i/o port, causing the system logic to assert init. the sampling of init asserted starts an extended microcode sequence that terminates with a code fetch from ffff_fff0h, the reset location. init is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until the next instruction boundary. during an i/o write cycle, it must be sampled asserted a minimum of three clock edges before brdy# is sampled asserted if it is to be recognized on the boundary between the i/o write instruction and the following instruction. if init is asserted synchronously, it can be asserted for a minimum of one clock. if it is asserted asynchronously, it must have been negated for a minimum of two clocks, followed by an assertion of a minimum of two clocks.

(see built-in self-test (bist) on page 221 for more details.) if flush# is low during the falling transition of reset, the processor enters tri-state test mode. (see tri-state test mode on page 222 and flush# (cache flush) on page 103 for more details.) bf[2:0] the internal operating frequency of the processor is determined by the state of the bus frequency signals bf[2:0] when they are sampled during the falling transition of reset. the frequency of the clk input signal is multiplied internally by a ratio defined by bf[2:0]. (see bf[2:0] (bus frequency) on page 92 for the processor-clock to bus-clock ratios.) brdyc# brdyc# is sampled on the falling transition of reset to configure the drive strength of a[20:3], ads#, hitm#, and w/r#. if brdyc# is low during the fall of reset, these outputs are configured using higher drive strengths than the standard strength. if brdyc# is high during the fall of reset, the standard strength is selected. (see brdyc# (burst ready copy) on page 95 for more details.)

chapter 7 cache organization 179 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 7 cache organization the following sections describe the basic architecture and resources of the AMD-K6-2 processor internal caches. the performance of the AMD-K6-2 processor is enhanced by a writeback level-one (l1) cache. the cache is organized as a separate 32-kbyte instruction cache and a 32-kbyte data cache, each with two-way set associativity (see figure 77). the cache line size is 32 bytes, and lines are fetched from main memory using an efficient, pipelined burst transaction. as the instruction cache is filled, each instruction byte is analyzed for instruction boundaries using predecode logic. predecoding annotates each instruction byte with information that later enables the decoders to efficiently decode multiple instructions simultaneously. translation lookaside buffers (tlb) are also used to translate linear addresses to physical addresses. the instruction cache is associated with a 64-entry tlb while the data cache is associated with a 128-entry tlb. figure 77. cache organization processor core system bus interface unit 128-entry tlb 64-entry tlb state bit tag ram way 0 way 1 state bit tag ram 32-kbyte instruction cache 32-kbyte data cache pre-decode instruction cache mesi bits tag ram way 0 way 1 mesi bits tag ram
18 0 cache organization chapter 7 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information the processor cache design takes advantage of a sectored organization (see figure 78). each sector consists of 64 bytes configured as two 32-byte cache lines. the two cache lines of a sector share a common tag but have separate mesi (modified, exclusive, shared, invalid) bits that track the state of each cache line. instruction cache line data cache line note: instruction-cache lines have only two coherency states (valid or invalid) rather than the four mesi coherency states of data-cache lines. only two states are needed for the instruction cache because these lines are read-only. figure 78. cache sector organization 7.1 mesi states in the data cache the state of each line in the caches is tracked by the mesi bits. the coherency of these states or mesi bits is maintained by internal processor snoops and external inquire cycles by the system logic. the following four states are defined for the data cache: n modified this line has been modified and is different from main memory. n exclusive this line is not modified and is the same as main memory. if this line is written to, it becomes modified. n shared if a cache line is in the shared state it means that the same line can exist in more than one cache system. n invalid the information in this line is not valid. 7.2 predecode bits decoding x86 instructions is particularly difficult because the instructions vary in length, ranging from 1 to 15 bytes long. predecode logic supplies the predecode bits associated with tag address cache line 0 byte 31 predecode bits byte 30 predecode bits ........ ........ byte 0 predecode bits 1 mesi bit cache line 1 byte 31 predecode bits byte 30 predecode bits ........ ........ byte 0 predecode bits 1 mesi bit tag address cache line 0 byte 31 byte 30 ........ ........ byte 0 2 mesi bits cache line 1 byte 31 byte 30 ........ ........ byte 0 2 mesi bits
chapter 7 cache organization 181 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information each instruction byte. the predecode bits indicate the number of bytes to the start of the next x86 instruction. the predecode bits are passed with the instruction bytes to the decoders where they assist with parallel x86 instruction decoding. the predecode bits use memory separate from the 32-kbyte instruction cache. the predecode bits are stored in an extended instruction cache alongside each x86 instruction byte as shown in figure 78. 7.3 cache operation the operating modes for the caches are configured by software using the not writethrough (nw) and cache disable (cd) bits of control register 0 (cr0 bits 29 and 30, respectively). these bits are used in all operating modes. when the cd and nw bits are both set to 0, the cache is fully enabled. this is the standard operating mode for the cache. if a read miss occurs when the processor reads from the cache, a line fill (32-byte burst read) on the system bus occurs in order to fetch the cache line. write hits to the cache are updated, while write misses and writes to shared lines cause external memory updates. refer to table 36 on page 193 for a summary of cache read and write cycles and the effect of these operations on the cache mesi state. note: a write allocate operation can modify the behavior of write misses to the cache. see write allocate on page 186. when cd is set to 0 and nw is set to 1, an invalid mode of operation exists that causes a general protection fault to occur. when cd is set to 1 (disabled) and nw is set to 0, the cache fill mechanism is disabled but the contents of the cache are still valid. the processor reads from the cache and, if a read miss occurs, no line fill takes place. write hits to the cache are updated, while write misses and writes to shared lines cause external memory updates. if pwt is driven low and wb/wt# is sampled high, a write hit to a shared line changes the cache- line state to exclusive. when the cd and nw bits are both set to 1, the cache is fully disabled. even though the cache is disabled, the contents are not necessarily invalid. the processor reads from the cache and, if a read miss occurs, no line fill takes place. if a write hit
182 cache organization chapter 7 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information occurs, the cache is updated but an external memory update does not occur. if a data line is in the exclusive state during a write hit, the cache-line state is changed to modified. cache lines in the shared state remain in the shared state after a write hit. write misses access external memory directly. the operating system can control the cacheability of a page. the paging mechanism is controlled by cr3, the page directory entry (pde), and the page table entry (pte). within cr3, pde, and pte are page cache disable (pcd) and page writethrough (pwt) bits. the values of the pcd and pwt bits used in table 33 and table 34 are taken from either the pte or pde. for more information see the descriptions of pcd and pwt on pages 113 and 115, respectively. table 33 describes how the pwt signal is driven based on the values of the pwt bits and the pg bit of cr0. table 34 describes how the pcd signal is driven based on the values of the cd bit of cr0, the pcd bits, and the pg bit of cr0. table 33. pwt signal generation pwt bit* pg bit of cr0 pwt signal 11high 01low 10low 00low note: * pwt is taken from pte or pde table 34. pcd signal generation cd bit of cr0 pcd bit* pg bit of cr0 pcd signal 1xxhigh 011high 001low 010low 000low note: * pcd is taken from pte or pde

184 cache organization chapter 7 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information for the system logic to flush the cache, the processor must sample flush# asserted. in this method, the processor writes back any data cache lines that are in the modified state, invalidates all lines in the instruction and data caches, and then executes a flush acknowledge special cycle (see table 25 on page 126). the second method for flushing the caches is for software to execute the wbinvd instruction which causes all modified lines to first be written back to memory, then marks all cache lines as invalid. alternatively, if writing modified lines back to memory is not necessary, the invd instruction can be used to invalidate all cache lines. the third and final method for flushing the caches is to make use of the page flush/invalidate register (pfir), which allows cache invalidation and optional flushing of a specific 4-kbyte page from the linear address space. the pfir is only supported on the AMD-K6-2 processor model 8/[f:8] (see pfir on page 195). unlike the previous two methods of flushing the caches, this particular method requires the software to be aware of which specific pages must be flushed and invalidated. 7.5 cache-line fills the processor performs a cache-line fill for any area of system memory defined as cacheable. if an area of system memory is not explicitly defined as uncacheable by the software or system logic, or implicitly treated as uncacheable by the processor, then the memory access is assumed to be cacheable. software can prevent caching of certain pages by setting the pcd bit in the pde or pte. additionally, for the AMD-K6-2 processor model 8/[f:8], software can define regions of memory as uncacheable or write combinable by programming the mtrrs in the uwccr msr (see memory type range registers on page 203). write-combinable memory is defined as uncacheable. the system logic also has control of the cacheability of bus cycles. if it determines the address is not cacheable, system logic negates the ken# signal when asserting the first brdy# or na# of a cycle.
chapter 7 cache organization 185 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information the processor does not cache certain memory accesses such as locked operations. in addition, the processor does not cache pde or pte memory reads in the l1 cache (referred to as page table walks ). when the processor needs to read memory, the processor drives a read cycle onto the bus. if the cycle is cacheable, the processor asserts cache#. if the cycle is not cacheable, a non-burst, single-transfer read takes place. the processor waits for the system logic to return the data and assert a single brdy# (see figure 55 on page 133). if the cycle is cacheable, the processor executes a 32-byte burst read cycle. the processor expects a total of four brdy# signals for a burst read cycle to take place (see figure 57 on page 137). cache-line fills initiate 32-byte burst read cycles from memory on the system bus for the instruction cache and the data cache. if a data-cache line being filled replaces a modified line, the modified contents of the line are copied to a 32-byte writeback (copyback) buffer in the bus interface unit while the new line is being read. 7.6 cache-line replacements as programs execute and task switches occur, some cache lines eventually require replacement. instruction cache lines are replaced using a least recently used (lru) algorithm. if line replacement is required, lines are replaced when read cache misses occur. the data cache uses a slightly different approach to line replacement. if a miss occurs, and a replacement is required, lines are replaced by using a least recently allocated (lra) algorithm. two forms of cache misses and associated cache fills can take placea tag-miss cache fill and a tag-hit cache fill. in the case of a tag-miss cache fill, the miss is due to a tag mismatch, in which case the required cache line is filled from external memory, and the cache line within the sector that was not required is marked as invalid. in the case of a tag-hit cache fill, the address matches the tag, but the requested cache line is marked as invalid. the required cache line is filled from external memory, and the cache line within the sector that is not required remains in the same cache state.
18 6 cache organization chapter 7 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 7.7 write allocate write allocate, if enabled, occurs when the processor has a pending memory write cycle to a cacheable line and the line does not currently reside in the data cache. in this case, the processor performs a 32-byte burst read cycle to fetch the data-cache line addressed by the pending write cycle. the data associated with the pending write cycle is merged with the recently-allocated data-cache line and stored in the processors data cache. the final mesi state of the cache line depends on the state of the wb/wt# and pwt signals during the burst read cycle and the subsequent l1 data cache write hit (see table 36 on page 193 to determine the cache-line states and the access types following a cache read miss and cache write hit). if a data-cache line fetch from memory is attempted because the write allocate misses the data cache, and ken# is sampled negated, the processor does not perform an allocation. in this case, the pending write cycle is executed as a single write cycle on the system bus. during write allocates, a 32-byte burst read cycle is executed in place of a non-burst write cycle. while the burst read cycle generally takes longer to execute than the non-burst write cycle, performance gains are realized on subsequent write cycle hits to the write-allocated cache line. due to the nature of software, memory accesses tend to occur in proximity of each other (principle of locality). the likelihood of additional write hits to the write-allocated cache line is high. the following is a description of three mechanisms by which the AMD-K6-2 processor performs write allocations. a write allocate is performed when any one or more of these mechanisms indicates that a pending write is to a cacheable area of memory. write to a cacheable page every time the processor performs a cache line fill, the address of the page in which the cache line resides is saved in the cacheability control register (ccr). the page address of subsequent write cycles is compared with the page address stored in the ccr. if the two addresses are equal, then the processor performs a write allocate because the page has already been determined to be cacheable.
chapter 7 cache organization 187 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information when the processor performs a cache line fill from a different page than the address saved in the ccr, the ccr is updated with the new page address. write to a sector if the address of a pending write cycle matches the tag address of a valid cache sector, but the addressed cache line within the sector is marked invalid (a sector hit but a cache line miss), then the processor performs a write allocate. the pending write cycle is determined to be cacheable because the sector hit indicates the presence of at least one valid cache line in the sector. the two cache lines within a sector are guaranteed by design to be within the same page. write allocate limit the AMD-K6-2 processor uses two mechanisms that are programmable within the write handling control register (whcr) to enable write allocations for write cycles that address a definable area, or a special 1-mbyte memory area. the format of the whcr differs between the AMD-K6-2 processor model 8/[7:0] and the AMD-K6-2 processor model 8/[f:8]. whcr C model 8/[7:0]. this whcr c ontains three fieldsthe wcde bit, the write allocate enable limit (waelim) field, and the write allocate enable 15-to-16-mbyte (wae15m) bit (see figure 79 on page 187). for proper functionality, always program the wcde bit to 0. figure 79. write handling control register (whcr) model 8/[7:0] write allocate enable limit C model 8/[7:0]. the waelim field is 7 bits wide. this field, multiplied by 4 mbytes, defines an upper memory limit. any pending write cycle that addresses memory below this limit causes the processor to perform a write allocate 71 0 63 waelim 8 0 note : hardware reset initializes this msr to all zeros. w a e 1 5 m symbol description bits wcde always program to 0 8 waelim write allocate enable limit 7C1 wae15m write allocate enable 15-to-16-mbyte 0 9 reserved

192 cache organization chapter 7 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 7.8 prefetching hardware prefetching the AMD-K6-2 processor conditionally performs cache prefetching which results in the filling of the required cache line first, and a prefetch of the second cache line making up the other half of the sector. from the perspective of the external bus, the two cache-line fills typically appear as two 32-byte burst read cycles occurring back-to-back or, if allowed, as pipelined cycles. the burst read cycles do not occur back-to-back (wait states occur) if the processor is not ready to start a new cycle, if higher priority data read or write requests exist, or if na# (next address) was sampled negated. wait states can also exist between burst cycles if the processor samples ahold or boff# asserted. software prefetching the 3dnow! technology includes an instruction called prefetch that allows a cache line to be prefetched into the data cache. unlike prefetching under hardware control, software prefetching only fetches the cache line specified by the operand of the prefetch instruction, and does not attempt to fetch the other cache line in the sector. the prefetch instruction format is defined in table 17, 3dnow!? instructions, on page 81. for more detailed information, see the 3dnow!? technology manual , order# 21928. 7.9 cache states table 36 shows all the possible cache-line states before and after program-generated accesses to individual cache lines. the table includes the correspondence between mesi states and writethrough or writeback states for lines in the data cache.

194 cache organization chapter 7 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 7.10 cache coherency different ways exist to maintain coherency between the system memory and cache memories. inquire cycles, internal snoops, flush#, wbinvd, invd, and line replacements all prevent inconsistencies between memories. inquire cycles inquire cycles are bus cycles initiated by system logic which ensure coherency between the caches and main memory. in systems with multiple bus masters, system logic maintains cache coherency by driving inquire cycles to the processor. system logic initiates inquire cycles by asserting ahold, boff#, or hold to obtain control of the address bus and then driving eads#, inv (optional), and an inquire address (a[31:5]). this type of bus cycle causes the processor to compare the tags for both its instruction and data caches with the inquire address. if there is a hit to a shared or exclusive line in the data cache or a valid line in the instruction cache, the processor asserts hit#. if the compare hits a modified line in the data cache, the processor asserts hit# and hitm#. if hitm# is asserted, the processor writes the modified line back to memory. if inv was sampled asserted with eads#, a hit invalidates the line. if inv was sampled negated with eads#, a hit leaves the line in the shared state or transitions it from the exclusive or modified state to the shared state. table 37 on page 197 shows the effects of inquire cycles performed with inv equal to 0 (non-invalidating) and inv equal to 1 (invalidating)snoops, and invalidations. internal snooping internal snooping is initiated by the processor (rather than system logic) during certain cache accesses. it is used to maintain coherency between the instruction cache and the data cache. the processor automatically snoops its instruction cache during read or write misses to its data cache, and it snoops its data cache during read misses to its instruction cache. table 37 summarizes the actions taken during this internal snooping.
chapter 7 cache organization 195 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information if an internal snoop hits its target, the processor does the following: n data cache snoop during an instruction-cache read miss if modified, the line in the data cache is written back on the system bus to external memory. regardless of its state, the data-cache line is invalidated and the instruction cache performs a burst read cycle from external memory. n instruction cache snoop during a data cache miss the line in the instruction cache is marked invalid, and the data-cache read or write is performed as defined in table 36 on page 193. flush# in response to sampling flush# asserted, the processor writes back any data cache lines that are in the modified state and then marks all lines in the instruction and data caches as invalid. pfir the AMD-K6-2 processor model 8/[f:8] processor contains the page flush/invalidate register (pfir) that allows cache invalidation and optional flushing of a specific 4-kbyte page from the linear address space (see figure 82). when the pfir is written to (using the wrmsr instruction), the invalidation and, optionally, the flushing begins. the total amount of cache in the AMD-K6-2 processor is 64 kbytes. using this register can result in a much lower cycle count for flushing particular pages versus flushing the entire cache. figure 82. page flush/invalidate register (pfir)msr c000_0088h linpage. this 20-bit field must be written with bits 31:12 of the linear address of the 4-kbyte page that is to be invalidated and optionally flushed from the l1 cache. linpage 10 63 f / i reserved symbol description bit linpage 20-bit linear page address 31-12 pf page fault occurred 8 f/i flush/invalidate command 0 11 31 12 32 p f 987

chapter 8 write merge buffer 201 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 8 write merge buffer the AMD-K6-2 processor model 8/[f:8] contains an 8-byte write merge buffer that allows the processor to conditionally combine data from multiple noncacheable write cycles into this merge buffer. the merge buffer operates in conjunction with the m emory type range registers (mtrrs). refer to memory type range registers on page 203 for a description of the mtrrs. merging multiple write cycles into a single write cycle reduces processor bus utilization and processor stalls, thereby increasing the overall system performance. 8.1 ewbe control the presence of the merge buffer creates the potential to perform out-of-order write cycles relative to the processors l1 cache. in general, the ordering of write cycles that are driven externally on the system bus and those that hit the processors cache can be controlled by the ewbe# signal. see ewbe# (external write buffer empty) on page 101 for more information. if ewbe# is sampled negated, the processor delays the commitment of write cycles to cache lines in the modified state or exclusive state in the processors cache. therefore, the system logic can enforce strong ordering by negating ewbe# until the external write cycle is complete, thereby ensuring that a subsequent write cycle that hits the cache does not complete ahead of the external write cycle. however, the addition of the write merge buffer introduces the potential for out-of-order write cycles to occur between writes to the merge buffer and writes to the processors cache. because these writes occur entirely within the processor and are not sent out to the processor bus, the system logic is not able to enforce strong ordering with the ewbe# signal. the ewbe control (ewbec) bits in the efer register provide a mechanism for enforcing three different levels of write ordering in the presence of the write merge buffer: n efer[3] is defined as the global ewbe disable (gewbed). when gewbed equals 1, the processor does not attempt to enforce any write ordering internally or externally (the ewbe# signal is ignored). this is the maximum performance setting.

chapter 8 write merge buffer 203 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 8.2 memory type range registers the AMD-K6-2 processor model 8/[f:8] provides two variable- range memory type range registers (mtrrs)mtrr0 and mtrr1that each specify a range of memory. each range can be defined as one of the following memory types: n uncacheable (uc) memorymemory read cycles are sourced directly from the specified memory address and the processor does not allocate a cache line. memory write cycles are targeted at the specified memory address and a write allocation does not occur. n write-combining (wc) memorymemory read cycles are sourced directly from the specified memory address and the processor does not allocate a cache line. the processor conditionally combines data from multiple noncacheable write cycles that are addressed within this range into a merge buffer. merging multiple write cycles into a single write cycle reduces processor bus utilization and processor stalls, thereby increasing the overall system performance. this memory type is applicable for linear video frame buffers. uc/wc cacheability control register (uwccr) the mtrrs are accessed by addressing the 64-bit msr known as the uc/wc cacheability control register (uwccr). the msr address of the uwccr is c000_0085h. following reset, all bits in the uwccr register are set to 0. mtrr0 (lower 32 bits of the uwccr register) defines the size and memory type of range 0 and mtrr1 (upper 32 bits) defines the size and memory type of range 1 (see figure 83).

chapter 10 system management mode (smm) 211 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 10 system management mode (smm) 10.1 overview smm is an alternate operating mode entered by way of a system management interrupt (smi#) and handled by an interrupt service routine. smm is designed for system control activities such as power management. these activities appear transparent to conventional operating systems like dos and windows. smm is primarily targeted for use by the basic input output system (bios) and specialized low-level device drivers. the code and data for smm are stored in the smm memory area, which is isolated from main memory. the processor enters smm by the assertion of the smi# interrupt and the processors acknowledgment by the assertion of smiact#. at this point the processor saves its state into the smm memory state-save area and jumps to the smm service routine. the processor returns from smm when it executes the rsm (resume) instruction from within the smm service routine. subsequently, the processor restores its state from the smm save area, negates smiact#, and resumes execution with the instruction following the point where it entered smm. the following sections summarize the smm state-save area, entry into and exit from smm, exceptions and interrupts in smm, memory allocation and addressing in smm, and the smi# and smiact# signals. 10.2 smm operating mode and default register values the software environment within smm has the following characteristics: n addressing and operation in real mode n 4-gbyte segment limits n default 16-bit operand, address, and stack sizes, although instruction prefixes can override these defaults n control transfers that do not override the default operand size truncate the eip to 16 bits

chapter 10 system management mode (smm) 217 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information table 44 shows the format of the smm revision identifier. 10.5 smm base address during reset, the processor sets the base address of the code-segment (cs) for the smm memory areathe smm base addressto its default, 0003_0000h. the smm base address at offset fef8h in the smm state-save area can be changed by the smm service routine to any address that is aligned to a 32-kbyte boundary. (locations not aligned to a 32-kbyte boundary cause the processor to enter the shutdown state when executing the rsm instruction.) in some operating environments it may be desirable to relocate the 64-kbyte smm memory area to a high memory area in order to provide more low memory for legacy software. during system initialization, the base of the 64-kbyte smm memory area is relocated by the bios. to relocate the smm base address, the system enters the smm handler at the default address. this handler changes the smm base address location in the smm state-save area, copies the smm handler to the new location, and exits smm. the next time smm is entered, the processor saves its state at the new base address. this new address is used for every smm entry until the smm base address in the smm state-save area is changed or a hardware reset occurs. 10.6 halt restart slot during entry into smm, the halt restart slot at offset ff02h in the smm state-save area indicates if smm was entered from the halt state. before returning from smm, the halt restart slot (offset ff02h) can be written to by the smm service routine to specify whether the return from smm takes the processor back to the halt state or to the next instruction after the hlt instruction. table 44. smm revision identifier 31C18 17 16 15C0 reserved smm base relocation i/o trap extension smm revision level 0 1 1 0002h

chapter 10 system management mode (smm) 219 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information the i/o trap dword is related to the i/o trap restart slot (see i/o trap restart slot). if bit 1 of the i/o trap dword is set by the processor, it means that smi# was asserted during the execution of an i/o instruction. the smi handler tests bit 1 to see if there is a valid i/o instruction trapped. if the i/o instruction is valid, the smi handler is required to ensure the i/o trap restart slot is set properly. the i/o trap restart slot informs the processor whether it should re-execute the i/o instruction after the rsm or execute the instruction following the trapped i/o instruction. note: if smi# is sampled asserted during an i/o bus cycle a minimum of three clock edges before brdy# is sampled asserted, the associated i/o instruction is guaranteed to be trapped by the smi handler. 10.8 i/o trap restart slot the i/o trap restart slot at offset ff00h in the smm state-save area specifies whether the trapped i/o instruction should be re-executed on return from smm. this slot in the state-save area is called the i/o instruction restart function. re-executing a trapped i/o instruction is useful, for example, if an i/o write occurs to a disk that is powered down. the system logic monitoring such an access can assert smi#. then the smm service routine would query the system logic, detect a failed i/o write, take action to power-up the i/o device, enable the i/o trap restart slot feature, and return from smm. the fields of the i/o trap restart slot are defined as follows: n bits 31C16 reserved n bits 15C0 i/o instruction restart on return from smm: 0000h = execute the next instruction after the trapped i/o instruction 00ffh = re-execute the trapped i/o instruction table 46 shows the format of the i/o trap restart slot. table 46. i/o trap restart slot 31C16 15C0 reserved i/o instruction restart on return from smm: n 0000h = execute the next instruction after the trapped i/o n 00ffh = re-execute the trapped i/o instruction
220 system management mode (smm) chapter 10 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information the processor initializes the i/o trap restart slot to 0000h upon entry into smm. if smm was entered due to a trapped i/o instruction, the processor indicates the validity of the i/o instruction by setting or clearing bit 1 of the i/o trap dword at offset ffa4h in the smm state-save area. the smm service routine should test bit 1 of the i/o trap dword to determine if a valid i/o instruction was being executed when entering smm and before writing the i/o trap restart slot. if the i/o instruction is valid, the smm service routine can safely rewrite the i/o trap restart slot with the value 00ffh, which causes the processor to re-execute the trapped i/o instruction when the rsm instruction is executed. if the i/o instruction is invalid, writing the i/o trap restart slot has undefined results. if a second smi# is asserted and a valid i/o instruction was trapped by the first smm handler, the processor services the second smi# prior to re-executing the trapped i/o instruction. the second entry into smm never has bit 1 of the i/o trap dword set, and the second smm service routine must not rewrite the i/o trap restart slot. during a simultaneous smi# i/o instruction trap and debug breakpoint trap, the AMD-K6-2 processor first responds to the smi# and postpones recognizing the debug exception until after returning from smm via the rsm instruction. if the debug registers dr3Cdr0 are used while in smm, they must be saved and restored by the smm handler. the processor automatically saves and restores dr7Cdr6. if the i/o trap restart slot in the smm state-save area contains the value 00ffh when the rsm instruction is executed, the debug trap does not occur until after the i/o instruction is re-executed. 10.9 exceptions, interrupts, and debug in smm during an smi# i/o trap, the exception/interrupt priority of the AMD-K6-2 processor changes from its normal priority. the normal priority places the debug traps at a priority higher than the sampling of the flush# or smi# signals. however, during an smi# i/o trap, the sampling of the flush# or smi# signals takes precedence over debug traps. the processor recognizes the assertion of nmi within smm immediately after the completion of an iret instruction. once nmi is recognized within smm, nmi recognition remains enabled until smm is exited, at which point nmi masking is restored to the state it was in before entering smm.
chapter 11 test and debug 221 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 11 test and debug the AMD-K6-2 processor implements various test and debug modes to enable the functional and manufacturing testing of systems and boards that use the processor. in addition, the debug features of the processor allow designers to debug the instruction execution of software components. this chapter describes the following test and debug features: n built-in self-test (bist) the bist, which is invoked after the falling transition of reset, runs internal tests that exercise most on-chip ram structures. n tri-state test mode a test mode that causes the processor to float its output and bidirectional pins. n boundary-scan test access port (tap) the joint test action group (jtag) test access function defined by the ieee standard test access port and boundary-scan architecture (ieee 1149.1-1990) specification. n level-one (l1) cache inhibit a feature that disables the processors internal l1 instruction and data caches. n debug support consists of all x86-compatible software debug features, including the debug extensions. 11.1 built-in self-test (bist) following the falling transition of reset, the processor unconditionally runs its bist. the internal resources tested during bist include the following: n l1 instruction and data caches n instruction and data translation lookaside buffers (tlbs) the contents of the eax general-purpose register after the completion of reset indicate if the bist was successful. if eax contains 0000_0000h, then bist was successful. if eax is non-zero, the bist failed. following the completion of the bist, the processor jumps to address ffff_fff0h to start instruction execution, regardless of the outcome of the bist. the bist takes approximately 295,000 processor clocks to complete.
222 test and debug chapter 11 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 11.2 tri-state test mode the tri-state test mode causes the processor to float its output and bidirectional pins, which is useful for board-level manufacturing testing. in this mode, the processor is electrically isolated from other components on a system board, allowing automated test equipment (ate) to test components that drive the same signals as those the processor floats. if the flush# signal is sampled low during the falling transition of reset, the processor enters the tri-state test mode. (see flush# (cache flush) on page 103 for the specific sampling requirements.) the signals floated in the tri-state test mode are as follows: the vcc2det, vcc2h/l#, and tdo signals are the only outputs not floated in the tri-state test mode. vcc2det and vcc2h/l# must remain low to ensure the system continues to supply the specified processor core voltage to the v cc2 pins. tdo is never floated because the boundary-scan test access port must remain enabled at all times, including during the tri-state test mode. the tri-state test mode is exited when the processor samples reset asserted. n a[31:3] n d/c# n m/io# n ads# n d[63:0] n pcd n adsc# n dp[7:0] n pchk# n ap n ferr# n pwt n apchk# n hit# n scyc n be[7:0]# n hitm# n smiact# n breq n hlda n w/r# n cache# n lock#
chapter 11 test and debug 223 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 11.3 boundary-scan test access port (tap) the boundary-scan test access port (tap) is an ieee standard that defines synchronous scanning test methods for complex logic circuits, such as boards containing a processor. the AMD-K6-2 processor supports the tap standard defined in the ieee standard test access port and boundary-scan architecture (ieee 1149.1-1990) specification. boundary scan testing uses a shift register consisting of the serial interconnection of boundary-scan cells that correspond to each i/o buffer of the processor. this non-inverting register chain, called a boundary scan register (bsr), can be used to capture the state of every processor pin and to drive every processor output and bidirectional pin to a known state. each bsr of every component on a board that implements the boundary-scan architecture can be serially interconnected to enable component interconnect testing. test access port the tap consists of the following: n test access port (tap) controller the tap controller is a synchronous, finite state machine that uses the tms and tdi input signals to control a sequence of test operations. see tap controller state machine on page 232 for a list of tap states and their definition. n instruction register (ir) the ir contains the instructions that select the test operation to be performed and the test data register (tdr) to be selected. see tap registers on page 224 for more details on the ir. n test data registers (tdr) the three tdrs are used to process the test data. each tdr is selected by an instruction in the instruction register (ir). see tap registers on page 224 for a list of these registers and their functions. tap signals the test signals associated with the tap controller are as follows: n tck the test clock for all tap operations. the rising edge of tck is used for sampling tap signals, and the falling edge of tck is used for asserting tap signals. the state of the tms signal sampled on the rising edge of tck causes
224 test and debug chapter 11 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information the state transitions of the tap controller to occur. tck can be stopped in the logic 0 or 1 state. n tdi the test data input represents the input to the most significant bit of all tap registers, including the ir and all test data registers. test data and instructions are serially shifted by one bit into their respective registers on the rising edge of tck. n tdo the test data output represents the output of the least significant bit of all tap registers, including the ir and all test data registers. test data and instructions are serially shifted by one bit out of their respective registers on the falling edge of tck. n tms the test mode select input specifies the test function and sequence of state changes for boundary-scan testing. if tms is sampled high for five or more consecutive clocks, the tap controller enters its reset state. n trst# the test reset signal is an asynchronous reset that unconditionally causes the tap controller to enter its reset state. refer to electrical data on page 253 and signal switching characteristics on page 267 to obtain the electrical specifications of the test signals. tap registers the AMD-K6-2 processor provides an instruction register (ir) and three test data registers (tdr) to support the boundary-scan architecture. the ir and one of the tdrsthe boundary-scan register (bsr)consist of a shift register and an output register. the shift register is loaded in parallel in the capture states. (see tap controller state machine on page 232 for a description of the tap controller states.) in addition, the shift register is loaded and shifted serially in the shift states. the output register is loaded in parallel from its corresponding shift register in the update states. instruction register (ir). the ir is a 5-bit register, without parity, that determines which instruction to run and which test data register to select. when the tap controller enters the capture-ir state, the processor loads the following bits into the ir shift register: n 01b loaded into the two least significant bits, as specified by the ieee 1149.1 standard n 000b loaded into the three most significant bits

226 test and debug chapter 11 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information while in the shift-dr state, the bsr shift register is serially shifted toward the tdo pin. during the shift, bit 280 of the bsr is loaded from the tdi pin. the bsr output register is loaded with the contents of the bsr shift register in the update-dr state. if the current instruction is extest, the processors output pins, as well as those bidirectional pins that are enabled as outputs, are driven with their corresponding values from the bsr output register.

234 test and debug chapter 11 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information the states of the tap controller are described as follows: test-logic-reset. this state represents the initial reset state of the tap controller and is entered when the processor samples reset asserted, when trst# is asynchronously asserted, and when tms is sampled high for five or more consecutive clocks. in addition, this state can be entered from the select-ir-scan state. the ir is initialized with the idcode instruction, and the processors normal operation is not affected in this state. capture-dr. during the sample/preload instruction, the processor loads the bsr shift register with the current state of every input, output, and bidirectional pin. during the extest instruction, the processor loads the bsr shift register with the current state of every input and bidirectional pin. capture-ir. when the tap controller enters the capture-ir state, the processor loads 01b into the two least significant bits of the ir shift register and loads 000b into the three most significant bits of the ir shift register. shift-dr. while in the shift-dr state, the selected tdr shift register is serially shifted toward the tdo pin. during the shift, the most significant bit of the tdr is loaded from the tdi pin. shift-ir. while in the shift-ir state, the ir shift register is serially shifted toward the tdo pin. during the shift, the most significant bit of the ir is loaded from the tdi pin. update-dr. during the sample/preload instruction, the bsr output register is loaded with the contents of the bsr shift register. during the extest instruction, the output pins, as well as those bidirectional pins defined as outputs, are driven with their corresponding values from the bsr output register. update-ir. in this state, the ir output register is loaded from the ir shift register, and the current instruction is defined by the ir output register.
chapter 11 test and debug 235 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information the following states have no effect on the normal or test operation of the processor other than as shown in figure 86 on page 233: n run-test/idlethis state is an idle state between scan operations. n select-dr-scanthis is the initial state of the test data register state transitions. n select-ir-scanthis is the initial state of the instruction register state transitions. n exit1-drthis state is entered to terminate the shifting process and enter the update-dr state. n exit1-irthis state is entered to terminate the shifting process and enter the update-ir state. n pause-drthis state is entered to temporarily stop the shifting process of a test data register. n pause-irthis state is entered to temporarily stop the shifting process of the instruction register. n exit2-drthis state is entered in order to either terminate the shifting process and enter the update-dr state or to resume shifting following the exit from the pause-dr state. n exit2-irthis state is entered in order to either terminate the shifting process and enter the update-ir state or to resume shifting following the exit from the pause-ir state. 11.4 l1 cache inhibit purpose the AMD-K6-2 processor provides a means for inhibiting the normal operation of its l1 instruction and data caches while still supporting an external cache. this capability allows system designers to disable the l1 cache during the testing and debug of an external cache. if the cache inhibit bit (bit 3) of test register 12 (tr12) is set to 0, the processors l1 cache is enabled and operates as described in cache organization on page 179. if the cache inhibit bit is set to 1, the l1 cache is disabled and no new cache lines are allocated. even though new allocations do not occur, valid l1 cache lines remain valid and are read by the processor when a requested address hits a cache line. in addition, the processor continues to support inquire cycles initiated by the
236 test and debug chapter 11 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information system logic, including the execution of writeback cycles when a modified cache line is hit. while the l1 is inhibited, the processor continues to drive the pcd output signal appropriately, which system logic can use to control external caching. in order to completely disable the l1 cache so no valid lines exist in the cache, the cache inhibit bit must be set to 1 and the cache must be flushed in one of the following ways: n asserting the flush# input signal n executing the wbinvd instruction n executing the invd instruction (modified cache lines are not written back to memory) n make use of the page flush/invalidate register (pfir) (AMD-K6-2/[f:8] only) (see pfir on page 195) 11.5 debug the AMD-K6-2 processor implements the standard x86 debug functions, registers, and exceptions. in addition, the processor supports the i/o breakpoint debug extension. the debug feature assists programmers and system designers during software execution tracing by generating exceptions when one or more events occur during processor execution. the exception handler, or debugger, can be written to perform various tasks, such as displaying the conditions that caused the breakpoint to occur, displaying and modifying register or memory contents, or single-stepping through program execution. the following sections describe the debug registers and the various types of breakpoints and exceptions that the processor supports. debug registers figures 87 through 90 show the 32-bit debug registers supported by the processor.

( see power dissipation on page 257 for the maximum power dissipation of the AMD-K6-2 processor within the normal and reduced-power states.) the five clock-control states supported are as follows: n normal state : the processor is running in real mode, virtual-8086 mode, protected mode, or system management mode (smm). in this state, all clocks are runningincluding the external bus clock clk and the internal processor clockand the full features and functions of the processor are available. n halt state : this low-power state is entered following the successful execution of the hlt instruction. during this state, the internal processor clock is stopped. n stop grant state : this low-power state is entered following the recognition of the assertion of the stpclk# signal. during this state, the internal processor clock is stopped. n stop grant inquire state : this state is entered from the halt state and the stop grant state as the result of a system-initiated inquire cycle. n stop clock state : this low-power state is entered from the stop grant state when the clk signal is stopped. the following sections describe each of the four low-power states. figure 91 on page 248 illustrates the clock control state transitions.
244 clock control chapter 12 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information 12.1 halt state enter halt state during the execution of the hlt instruction, the AMD-K6-2 processor executes a halt special cycle. after brdy# is sampled asserted during this cycle, and then ewbe# is also sampled asserted (if not masked off), the processor enters the halt state in which the processor disables most of its internal clock distribution. in order to support the following operations, the internal phase-lock loop (pll) still runs, and some internal resources are still clocked in the halt state: n inquire cycles: the processor continues to sample ahold, boff#, and hold in order to support inquire cycles that are initiated by the system logic. the processor transitions to the stop grant inquire state during the inquire cycle. after returning to the halt state following the inquire cycle, the processor does not execute another halt special cycle. n flush cycles: the processor continues to sample flush#. if flush# is sampled asserted, the processor performs the flush operation in the same manner as it is performed in the normal state. upon completing the flush operation, the processor executes the halt special cycle which indicates the processor is in the halt state. n time stamp counter (tsc): the tsc continues to count in the halt state. n signal sampling: the processor continues to sample init, intr, nmi, reset, and smi#. after entering the halt state, all signals driven by the processor retain their state as they existed following the completion of the halt special cycle. exit halt state the AMD-K6-2 processor remains in the halt state until it samples init, intr (if interrupts are enabled), nmi, reset, or smi# asserted. if any of these signals is sampled asserted, the processor returns to the normal state and performs the corresponding operation. all of the normal requirements for recognition of these input signals apply within the halt state.
chapter 12 clock control 245 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 12.2 stop grant state enter stop grant state after recognizing the assertion of stpclk#, the AMD-K6-2 processor flushes its instruction pipelines, completes all pending and in-progress bus cycles, and acknowledges the stpclk# assertion by executing a stop grant special bus cycle. after brdy# is sampled asserted during this cycle, and then ewbe# is also sampled asserted (if not masked off), the processor enters the stop grant state. the stop grant state is like the halt state in that the processor disables most of its internal clock distribution in the stop grant state. in order to support the following operations, the internal pll still runs, and some internal resources are still clocked in the stop grant state: n inquire cycles: the processor transitions to the stop grant inquire state during an inquire cycle. after returning to the stop grant state following the inquire cycle, the processor does not execute another stop grant special cycle. n time stamp counter (tsc): the tsc continues to count in the stop grant state. n signal sampling: the processor continues to sample init, intr, nmi, reset, and smi#. flush# is not recognized in the stop grant state (unlike while in the halt state). upon entering the stop grant state, all signals driven by the processor retain their state as they existed following the completion of the stop grant special cycle. exit stop grant state the AMD-K6-2 processor remains in the stop grant state until it samples stpclk# negated or reset asserted. if stpclk# is sampled negated, the processor returns to the normal state in less than 10 bus clock (clk) periods. after the transition to the normal state, the processor resumes execution at the instruction boundary on which stpclk# was initially recognized. if stpclk# is recognized as negated in the stop grant state and subsequently sampled asserted prior to returning to the normal state, the AMD-K6-2 processor guarantees that a minimum of one instruction is executed prior to re-entering the stop grant state.
246 clock control chapter 12 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet 21850i/0december 1999 preliminary information if init, intr (if interrupts are enabled), flush#, nmi, or smi# are sampled asserted in the stop grant state, the processor latches the edge-sensitive signals (init, flush#, nmi, and smi#), but otherwise does not exit the stop grant state to service the interrupt. when the processor returns to the normal state due to sampling stpclk# negated, any pending interrupts are recognized after returning to the normal state. to ensure their recognition, all of the normal requirements for these input signals apply within the stop grant state. if reset is sampled asserted in the stop grant state, the processor immediately returns to the normal state and the reset process begins. 12.3 stop grant inquire state enter stop grant inquire state the stop grant inquire state is entered from the stop grant state or the halt state when eads# is sampled asserted during an inquire cycle initiated by the system logic. the AMD-K6-2 processor responds to an inquire cycle in the same manner as in the normal state by driving hit# and hitm#. if the inquire cycle hits a modified data cache line, the processor performs a writeback cycle. exit stop grant inquire state following the completion of any writeback, the processor returns to the state from which it entered the stop grant inquire state. 12.4 stop clock state enter stop clock state if the clk signal is stopped while the AMD-K6-2 processor is in the stop grant state, the processor enters the stop clock state. because all internal clocks and the pll are not running in the stop clock state, the stop clock state represents the minimum-power state of all clock control states. the clk signal must be held low while it is stopped. the stop clock state cannot be entered from the halt state. intr is the only input signal that is allowed to change states while the processor is in the stop clock state. however, intr is not sampled until the processor returns to the stop grant state. all other input signals must remain unchanged in the stop clock state.
chapter 12 clock control 247 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information exit stop clock state the AMD-K6-2 processor returns to the stop grant state from the stop clock state after the clk signal is started and the internal pll has stabilized. pll stabilization is achieved after the clk signal has been running within its specification for a minimum of 1.0 ms. the frequency of clk when exiting the stop clock state can be different than the frequency of clk when entering the stop clock state. the state of the bf[2:0] signals when exiting the stop clock state is ignored because the bf[2:0] signals are only sampled during the falling transition of reset.

chapter 13 power and grounding 249 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 13 power and grounding 13.1 power connections the AMD-K6-2 processor is a dual voltage device. two separate supply voltages are required: v cc2 and v cc3 . v cc2 provides the core voltage for the processor and v cc3 provides the i/o voltage. see electrical data on page 253 for the value and range of v cc2 and v cc3 . there are 28 v cc2 , 32 v cc3 , and 68 v ss pins on the AMD-K6-2 processor. (see pin designations on page 297 for all power and ground pin designations.) the large number of power and ground pins are provided to ensure that the processor and package maintain a clean and stable power distribution network. for proper operation and functionality, all v cc2 , v cc3 , and v ss pins must be connected to the appropriate planes in the circuit board. the power planes have been arranged in a pattern to simplify routing and minimize crosstalk on the circuit board. the isolation region between two voltage planes must be at least 0.254mm if they are in the same layer of the circuit board. (see figure 92 on page 250.) in order to maintain a low-impedance current sink and reference, the ground plane must never be split. although the AMD-K6-2 processor has two separate supply voltages, there are no special power sequencing requirements. the best procedure is to minimize the time between which v cc2 and v cc3 are either both on or both off.

chapter 15 i/o buffer characteristics 263 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information 15 i/o buffer characteristics all of the AMD-K6-2 processor inputs, outputs, and bidirectional buffers are implemented using a 3.3v buffer design. in addition, a subset of the processor i/o buffers include a second, higher drive strength option. these buffers can be configured to provide the higher drive strength for applications that place a heavier load on these i/o signals. amd has developed two i/o buffer models that represent the characteristics of each of the two possible drive strength configurations supported by the AMD-K6-2 processor. these two models are called the standard i/o model and the strong i/o model. amd developed the two models to allow system designers to perform analog simulations of AMD-K6-2 processor signals that interface with the system logic. analog simulations are used to determine a signals time of flight from source to destination and to ensure that the systems signal quality requirements are met. signal quality measurements include overshoot, undershoot, slope reversal, and ringing. 15.1 selectable drive strength the AMD-K6-2 processor samples the brdyc# input during the falling transition of reset to configure the drive strength of a[20:3], ads#, hitm# and w/r#. if brdyc# is 0 during the fall of reset, these particular outputs are configured using the higher drive strength. if brdyc# is 1 during the fall of reset, the standard drive strength is selected for all i/o buffers. table 60 shows the relationship between brdyc# and the two available drive strengths k6std and k6stg. table 60. a[20:3], ads#, hitm#, and w/r# strength selection drive strength brdyc# i/o buffer name strength 1 (standard) 1 k6std strength 2 (strong) 0 k6stg

chapter 17 thermal design 291 21850i/0december 1999 amd-k6 ? -2 processor data sheet preliminary information a heatsink and fan combination can deliver much better thermal performance than a heatsink alone. more importantly, with a fan/sink the airflow requirements in a system design are not as critical. a unidirectional heatsink with a fan moves air from the top of the heatsink to the side. in this case, the best location for the voltage regulator is on the side of the processor in the path of the airflow exiting the fan sink (see figure 109). this location guarantees that the heatsinks on both the processor and the regulator receive adequate air circulation. figure 109. airflow for a heatsink with fan airflow management in a system design complete airflow management in a system is important. in addition to the volume of air, the path of the air is also important. figure 110 shows the airflow in a dual-fan system. the fan in the front end pulls cool air into the system through intake slots in the chassis. the power supply fan forces the hot air out of the chassis. the thermal performance of the heatsink can be maximized if it is located in the shaded area, where it receives greatest benefit from this air exchange system. airflow ideal areas for voltage regulator
