AMD-K6®-2 Processor Data Sheet Preliminary Information 21850J/0-February 2000 4.35 Summary Sampled 4.36 Summary Sampled 112 NA# (Next Address) Input 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. 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. NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt) Input 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. 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. Signal Descriptions Chapter 4
