S5935 – PCI Product
ADD-ON BUS INTERFACE
This chapter describes the Add-On bus interface for
the S5935. The S5935 is designed to support connec-
tion to a variety of microprocessor buses and/or
peripheral devices. The Add-On interface controls
S5935 operation through the Add-On Operation Reg-
isters. These registers act as the Pass-Thru, FIFO,
non-volatile memory and mailbox interfaces as well as
offering control and status information.
Depending on the register being accessed, the inter-
face may be synchronous or asynchronous. To
enhance performance and simplify Add-On logic
design, some registers allow direct access with a sin-
gle device input pin. The following sections describe
the various interfaces to the PCI bus and how they are
accessed from the Add-On interface.
ADD-ON OPERATION REGISTER
ACCESSES
The S5935 Add-On bus interface is very similar to that
of a memory or peripheral device found in a micropro-
cessor-based system. A 32-bit data bus with individual
read and write strobes, a chip enable and byte
enables are provided. Other Add-On interface signals
are provided to simplify Add-On logic design.
Accesses to the S5935 registers are done primarily
synchronously to BPCLK. For S5935 functions that
are compatible with an Add-On microprocessor inter-
face, it is helpful to allow an asynchronous interface,
as the processor may not operate at the PCI bus clock
frequency.
Add-On Interface Signals
The Add-On interface provides a small number of sys-
tem signals to allow the Add-On to monitor PCI bus
activity, indicate status conditions (interrupts), and
allow Add-On bus configuration. A standard bus inter-
face is provided for Add-On Operation Register
accesses.
System Signals
BPCLK and SYSRST# allow the Add-On interface to
monitor the PCI bus status. BPCLK is a buffered ver-
sion of the PCI clock. The PCI clock can operate from
0 MHz to 33 MHz. SYSRST# is a buffered version of
the PCI reset signal, and may also be toggled by host
application software through bit 24 of the Bus Master
Control/Status Register (MCSR).
IRQ# is the Add-On interrupt output. This signal is
active low and can indicate a number of conditions.
Add-On interrupts may be generated from the mailbox
or FIFO interfaces. The exact conditions which gener-
ate an interrupt are discussed in the mailbox and FIFO

chapters. The interrupt output is deasserted when
acknowledged by an access to the Add-On Interrupt
Control/Status Register (AINT). All interrupt sources
are cleared by writing a one to the corresponding inter-
rupt bit.
The MODE input on the Add-On interface configures
the datapath width for the Add-On interface. MODE
low indicates a 32-bit data bus. MODE high indicates a
16-bit data bus. For 16-bit operation, BE3# is rede-
fined as ADR1, providing an extra address input.
ADR1 selects the low or high words of the 32-bit
S5935 Add-On Operation Registers.
Register Access Signals
Simple register accesses to the S5935 Add-On Opera-
tion Registers take two forms: synchronous to BPCLK
and asynchronous. The following signals are required
to complete a register access to the S5935.
BE[3:0]# Byte Enable Inputs. These S5935 inputs
ADR[6:2] Address Inputs. These address pins identify
RD# Read Strobe Input.
WR# Write Strobe Input.
SELECT# Chip Select Input. This input identifies a
DQ[31:0] Bidirectional Data Bus. These I/O pins are
In addition, there are dedicated signals for FIFO
accesses (RDFIFO# and WRFIFO#) and Pass-Thru
address accesses (PTADR#). These are discussed
separately in the FIFO and Pass-Thru sections of this
chapter.
The internal interfaces of the S5935 allow Add-On
Operation Registers to be accessed asynchronous to
BPCLK (synchronous to the rising edge of the read or
write strobe). The exception to this is the Add-On Gen-
eral Control/Status Register. This is due to the async
nature of FIFO status bits changing as the PCI bus
reads data. For Pass-Thru operations, the Pass-Thru
Data Register accesses are synchronous to BPCLK to
support burst transfers. The FIFO port is also
accessed synchronous to BPCLK.
