MEMORY BUS FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CPU does not guarantee that the same cycle which was aborted will be issued after
completing the inquire sequence. Thus, BLEC# is activated together with the BOFF# (clock
11). BLEC# is deactivated again (clock 20) after sampling the re-issued (in this example)
ADS# in clock 19.
After the Pentium processor write-back has completed (clock 17), the CPU issues (in this
example, re-issues) the read miss cycle (clock 19). In clock 21 the MBC activates CRDY#
indicating the 82496 Cache Controller the completion of the write-back cycle on the memory
bus. As a result, the 82496 Cache Controller deactivates SNPBSY# (clock 22) and issues the
pending read miss cycle (activates CADS#, CDTS# in clock 22).
