Connectors
-EXTSMI (I)
System management interrupt. Non-maskable. This is the highest priority interrupt
even taking priority over NMI. See the Intel 486SL Programming Reference for
details. This is an active low signal.
-I/OCHK (I)
The 'I/O channel check' signal provides the system board with parity (error)
information about memory or devices on the I/O channel. When this signal is active
(low), it indicates a non-correctable system error.
I/OCHRDY (I)
-
The 'I/O channel ready' signal is pulled low (not ready) by a memory or I/O device to
lengthen I/O or memory cycles. Any slow device using this line should drive it low
immediately upon detecting its valid address and a Read or Write command.
Machine cycles are extended by an integral number of clock cycles (125
nanoseconds). This signal should be held low for no more than 2.5 microseconds.
-I/OCS16 (I)
The 'I/O 16-bit chip select' signal indicates to the system that the present data transfer
is
a
16-bit
I/O
cycle.
It
-I/OCS16 is active low and should be driven with an open collector or tri-state driver
capable of sinking 20 mA.
-IOR (I/O)
The '-I/O read' signal instructs an I/O device to drive its data onto the data bus. This
signal may be driven by the system microprocessor or DMA controller, or by a
microprocessor or DMA controller resident on the I/O channel. This signal is active
low.
-IOW (I/O)
The '-I/O write' signal instucts an I/O device to read the data off the data bus. It may
be driven by any microprocessor or DMA controller in the system. This signal is
active low.
