BBSY*
lB:l
BUS BUSY: Open-collector driven signal generated by
the current DTB master to indicate that it is using the
bus.
BCLR*
IB:2
BUS CLEAR: Totem-pole driven signal generated by the
bus arbitrator to request release by the DTB master if a
higher level is requesting the bus.
BERR*
lC:ll
BUS ERROR: Open-collector driven signal generated by
a slave. It indicates that an unrecoverable error has
occurred and the bus cycle must be aborted.
BGOIN*-
IB:4,6,8,1O
BUS GRANT (0-3) IN: Totem-pole driven signals
BG3IN*
generated by the Arbiter or Requesters. Bus Grant In and
Out signals form a daisy-chained bus grant. The Bus
Grant In signal indicates to this board that it may become
the next bus master.
BGOOUT*-
IB:5,7,9,11
BUS GRANT (0-3) OUT: Totem-pole driven signals
BG30UT*
generated by Requesters. These signals indicate that a
DTB master in the daisy-chain requires access to the bus.
BRO*-BR3*
1B: 12-15
BUS REQUEST (0-3): Open-collector driven signals
generated by Requesters. These signals indicate that a
DTB master in the daisy-chain requires access to the bus.
DSO*
lA:13
DATA STROBE 0: Three-state driven signal that
indicates during byte and word transfers that a data
transfer will occur on data bus lines (DOO-D07).
DS1*
lA:12
DATA STROBE 1: Three-state driven signal that
indicates during byte and word transfers that a data
transfer will occur on data bus lines (DO-D 15).
