7.13.4 Data Stall
Normally, each 128-bit data word of a 64-byte block transfer flows on SYSDATA
in successive clock cycles without stalls. To facilitate flexible timings for DRAMs,
however, a Data_Stall signal is provided to allow the SC to delay individual
128-bit transfers. Data_Stall also qualifies the S_REPLY signal accompanying a
data transfer. The following rules govern the assertion of Data_Stall:
1. When UltraSPARC is sourcing data, the earliest that SC can assert
Data_Stall is one system clock cycle after it asserts S_REPLY. Asserting
Data_Stall causes the data being driven on SYSDATA during the following
system clock to be held for an additional clock.
