Operational Characteristics
MU9C RCP Family
PA:AA Bus After a Random Access Read or Write to
the CAM
Active Address Interface PA:AA Bus
The Active Address interface PA:AA bus carries the
currently active address. The address source depends on
the most recent control state that caused it to change. The
possible address sources that are output on PA:AA bus are:
Highest-Priority Match address, Next Free address, Read
address, and Write address.
After a random Read or Write cycle to the MU9C RCP, the
PA:AA bus carries the address that was accessed during
that cycle. Only the device in which the access occurred
enables its PA:AA bus. All other devices keep their
PA:AA bus in high-impedance regardless of the state of
their /OE inputs. Note that the access to the PA:AA bus
differs in this respect from the operation of the Status
register, which is accessible in any selected device under
this particular circumstance.
PA:AA Bus After a Comparison Cycle
After
a
Comparison cycle, or access to the
Highest-Priority address, the PA:AA bus carries one of the
following two possible results:
In the event that the Write cycle was broadcast to multiple
devices, all devices that have their /OE lines held LOW
will enable their PA:AA bus. Under this circumstance, it is
up to the system designer to ensure that only one /OE line
is driven LOW to prevent bus contention on the PA:AA
bus.
•
The Match address if the Comparison cycle resulted
in a match in the MU9C RCP. Only the device
containing the highest-priority match enables its
PA:AA bus. All other devices with either no match or
a lower-priority match, as indicated by the Match Flag
daisy chain, keep their PA:AA bus in high-impedance
regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.
PA:AA Bus Conditions of Operation
•
During a control state that does not have any effect on
the device address, such as a Write Register cycle, the
PA:AA bus remains unchanged. In other words, the
state of the PA:AA bus persists until another cycle
causes it to change.
•
All 1s if there was no match in the MU9C RCP. The
lowest-priority device, as indicated by bit FR25 in the
Configuration register, enables its PA:AA bus and
provides the source of all 1s. All other devices will
keep their PA:AA bus in high-impedance regardless
of the state of their /OE inputs.
•
•
When enabled by /OE being LOW, the PA:AA bus is
only free to change while /E is HIGH. When /E goes
LOW the PA:AA bus is latched.
PA:AA Bus After a Write at Next Free Address Cycle
The PA:AA bus is enabled when /OE is LOW
provided that the previous cycle causes them to be
active. When /OE is HIGH, the PA:AA bus is in
high-impedance. Note that /OE is asynchronous with
respect to /E, and is independent of Chip Select from
either /CS1, /CS2, or through the Device Select
register, except in the case of non-broadcast random
Read and Write cycles to the MU9C RCP.
After a Write at Next Free Address cycle the PA:AA
carries the address that was written to during that cycle.
Only the device in which the write occurred enables its
PA:AA bus. All other devices keep their PA:AA bus in
high-impedance regardless of the state of their /OE inputs.
In the event that the system was full prior to the Write at
Next Free Address cycle being executed, so that the write
operation was suppressed, the PA:AA carries all 1s. The
lowest-priority device, as indicated by bit FR25 in the
Configuration register, enables its PA:AA bus and
provides the source of all 1s. All other devices keep their
PA:AA in high-impedance regardless of the state of their
/OE inputs.
