Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet
Sampled
This signal is provided to allow the system logic to handle
exceptions in a manner consistent with IBM-compatible PC/AT
systems.
The processor samples IGNNE # as a level-sensitive input on
every clock edge. The system logic can drive the signal either
synchronously or asynchronously. If it is asserted
asynchronously, it must be asserted for a minimum pulse width
of two clocks.

Summary
Input
AA-33
The assertion of INIT causes the processor to empty its
pipelines, to initialize most of its internal state, and to branch
to address FFFF_FFF0h—the same instruction execution
starting point used after RESET. Unlike RESET, the processor
preserves the contents of its caches, the floating-point state, the
MMX state, model-specific registers, the CD and NW bits of the
CR0 register, and other specific internal resources.
Sampled
INIT can be used as an accelerator for 80286 code that requires
a reset to exit from protected mode back to real mode.
INIT is sampled and latched as a rising edge-sensitive signal.
INIT is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until
the next instruction boundary. During an I/O write cycle, it must
be sampled asserted a minimum of three clock edges before
BRDY # is sampled asserted if it is to be recognized on the
boundary between the I/O write instruction and the following
instruction.
If INIT is asserted synchronously, it can be asserted for a
minimum of one clock. If it is asserted asynchronously, it must
have been negated for a minimum of two clocks, followed by an
assertion of a minimum of two clocks.
