Master Bus Interface Unit

The master Bus Interface Unit (BIU) controls the acqui-

sition of the PCI bus and all accesses to the initializa-

tion block, descriptor rings, and the receive and

transmit buffer memory. Table 7 shows the usage of

PCI commands by the Am79C978 controller in master

mode.

Bus Acquisition

The microcode will determine when a DMA transfer

should be initiated. The first step in any bus master

transfer is to acquire ownership of the bus. This task is

handled by synchronous logic within the BIU. Bus own-

ership is requested with the REQ signal and ownership

is granted by the arbiter through the GNT signal.

Figure 13 shows the Am79C978 controller bus acquisi-

tion. REQ is asserted and the arbiter returns GNT while

ano ther bu s m a st er is tra n s f er ri ng d a ta. T h e

Am79C978 controller waits until the bus is idle

(FRAME and IRDY deasserted) before it starts driving

AD[31:0] and C/BE[3:0] on clock 5. FRAME is asserted

at clock 5 indicating a valid address and command on

AD[31:0] and C/BE[3:0]. The Am79C978 controller

does not use address stepping which is reflected by
