Preliminary Information AMD-K6™-2E+ Embedded Processor Data Sheet 23542A/0-September 2000 5.11 BOFF# (Backoff) Pin Attribute Summary Input 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. 102 Signal Descriptions Chapter 5
