NA# (Next Address)
Pin Attribute
Pin Location
Summary
Sampled
Input
Y-05
System logic asserts NA# to indicate to the processor that it is
ready to accept another bus cycle pipelined into the previous
bus cycle. ADS#, along with address and status signals, can be
asserted as early as one clock edge after NA# is sampled
asserted if the processor is prepared to start a new cycle.
Because the processor allows a maximum of two cycles to be in
progress at a time, the assertion of NA# is sampled while two
cycles are in progress, but ADS# is not asserted until the
completion of the first cycle.
NA# is sampled every clock edge during bus cycles, starting one
clock edge after the clock edge that negates ADS#, until the last
expected BRDY# of the last executed cycle is sampled asserted
(with the exception of the clock edge after the clock edge that
negates the ADS# for a second pending cycle). Because the
processor latches NA# when sampled, the system logic only
needs to assert NA# for one clock.

NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt)
Pin Attribute
Pin Location
Summary
Input
AC-33
When NMI is sampled asserted, the processor jumps to the
interrupt service routine defined by interrupt number 02h.
Unlike the INTR signal, software cannot mask the effect of NMI
if it is sampled asserted by the processor. However, NMI is
temporarily masked upon entering system management mode
(SMM). In addition, an interrupt acknowledge cycle is not
executed because the interrupt number is predefined.
If NMI is sampled asserted while the processor is executing the
interrupt service routine for a previous NMI, the subsequent
NMI remains pending until the completion of the execution of
the IRET instruction at the end of the interrupt service routine.
