Data Path Flow through
Response
The interrupt acknowledge cycle is subject to retry If the PCEB is locked or if the interrupt acknowledge cycle
triggers buffer management activity or if the EISA Bus is occupied by an EISA ISA master or the DMA the
interrupt acknowledge cycle is retried
The interrupt acknowledge command is a single byte read that is implicitly addressed to the interrupt controller
in the ESC component The address bits are logical ‘‘don’t cares’’ during the address phase and the byte
enables indicate to the PCEB that an 8-bit interrupt vector is to be returned on byte 0 After performing the
necessary buffer management operations and obtaining ownership of the EISA Bus the PCEB generates a
single pulse on the PEREQ INTA inter-chip signal and performs an I O read cycle (on the EISA Bus) to
the ESC internal registers residing at I O address 04h The ESC decode logic uses the PEREQ INTA
signal to distinguish between standard accesses to I O address 04h (DMA controller) and special accesses
that result in a vector being read by the PCEB The PCEB holds the PCI Bus in wait states until the interrupt
vector is returned PEREQ INTA remains asserted until the end of the read cycle
Result of no response on EISA
The PCEB runs a standard length EISA I O read cycle and terminates normally The value of the data returned
as an interrupt vector is meaningless
Initiator support None
NOTE
The PCEB only responds to PCI interrupt acknowledge cycles if this operation is enabled via bit 5 of
the PCICON Register)
