PCHK# (Parity Check)
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.
Output
AF-04
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 odd (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
re a d b u s cy c l es a n d t he se c o n d cy c l e of a n i n t e r ru p t
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.
PCHK# is always driven except in the three-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.
