Description
RESET causes the chip to reset. When RESET is asserted, all external signals
return to the reset state. When RESET is deasserted, initialization begins. When
the 2-x clock mode is selected, RESET must remain asserted for 32 CLKIN cycles
before being deasserted to guarantee correct processor initialization. When the 1-x
clock mode is selected, RESET must remain asserted for 10,000 CLKIN cycles
before being deasserted to guarantee correct processor initialization. The
CLKMODE pin selects 1-x or 2-x input clock division of the CLKIN pin.
The processor’s Hold Acknowledge bus state functions while the chip is reset. If the
processor’s bus is in the Hold Acknowledge state when RESET is asserted, the
processor will internally reset, but maintains the Hold Acknowledge state on
external pins until the Hold request is removed. If a Hold request is made while the
processor is in the reset state, the processor bus will grant HOLDA and enter the
Hold Acknowledge state.
FAIL indicates failure of the processor’s self-test performed at initialization. When
RESET is deasserted and the processor begins initialization, the FAIL pin is
asserted. An internal self-test is performed as part of the initialization process. If
this self-test passes, the FAIL pin is deasserted; otherwise it remains asserted. The
FAIL pin is reasserted while the processor performs an external bus self-confidence
test. If this self-test passes, the processor deasserts the FAIL pin and branches to
the user’s initialization routine; otherwise the FAIL pin remains asserted. Internal
self-test and the use of the FAIL pin can be disabled with the STEST pin.
SELF TEST causes the processor’s internal self-test feature to be enabled or
disabled at initialization. STEST is read on the rising edge of RESET. When
asserted, the processor’s internal self-test and external bus confidence tests are
performed during processor initialization. When deasserted, only the bus
confidence tests are performed during initialization.
ON CIRCUIT EMULATION, when asserted, causes all outputs to be floated. ONCE
is continuously sampled while RESET is low and is latched on the rising edge of
RESET. To place the processor in the ONCE state:
(1) assert RESET and ONCE (order does not matter)
(2) wait for at least 16 CLKIN periods in 2-x mode—or 10,000 CLKIN periods in
1-x mode—after V_CC and CLKIN are within operating specifications
(3) deassert RESET
(4) wait at least 32 CLKIN periods
(The processor will now be latched in the ONCE state as long as RESET is high.)
To exit the ONCE state, bring V_CC and CLKIN to operating conditions, then assert
RESET and bring ONCE high prior to deasserting RESET.
CLKIN must operate within the specified operating conditions of the processor until
Step 4 above has been completed. CLKIN may then be changed to DC to achieve
the lowest possible ONCE mode leakage current.
ONCE can be used by emulator products or for board testers to effectively make an
installed processor transparent in the board.
