SYSTEM CLOCK provides the fundamental timing for 80960SA systems. It is
divided by two inside the 80960SA to generate the internal processor clock.
ADDRESS BUS carries the upper 16 bits of the 32-bit physical address to memory.
It is valid throughout the burst cycle; no latch is required.
ADDRESS/DATA BUS carries the low order 32-bit addresses and 16-bit data to
and from memory. AD15:4 must be latched since the cycle following the address
cycle carries data on the bus.
ADDRESS BUS carries the word addresses of the 32-bit address to memory.
These three bits are incremented during a burst access indicating the next word
address of the burst access. Note that A3:1 are duplicated with AD3:1 during the
address cycle.
ADDRESS LATCH ENABLE indicates the transfer of a physical address. ALE is

AD lines. The AD lines should not be driven by an external source unless DEN is
asserted. When DEN is asserted, outputs from the previous cycle are guaranteed
to be three-stated. In addition, DEN deasserted indicates inputs have been
captured; therefore input hold times can be disregarded. DEN is driven HIGH
during reset.

the bus. It is low during T and T
