i960 CA CF INTERFACE
The following pins are functionally equivalent to those on
the i960 CA CF from which their names are taken Like
named pins on the i960 CA CF and the NSBMC960 are to
be wired together All 3-State outputs are to be weakly
pulled up to VCC In typical situations a 10 kX resistor is
sufficient

Description
Address Bus (Input) This system bus is a word address which determines the location at which an access is
required
Address Strobe (Input Active Low) Indicates that a new access cycle is being started
Data Code (Input) Signals whether an access is for data or instructions
Burst Last (Input Active Low) Indicates that the last cycle of a burst is in progress
Data Enable (Input Active Low) This input is monitored by the Bus Watch Timer to detect a bus access not
returning READY
Burst Terminate (Output 3-State Active Low) This output is used to request termination of a burst in progress
Used to disable burst writes
Data Ready (Output 3-State Active Low) The READY output is used to signal that data on the processor bus is
valid for Read or that data has been accepted for Write
Reset (Input Active Low) Assertion of this input sets the NSBMC960 to its initial state Following initialization the
NSBMC960 must be configured before any memory access is possible
Byte Enable (Input Active Low) These inputs are used to determine which byte(s) within the addressed word are to
be accessed
WRITE READ (Input) This input indicates the direction which data is to be transferred to from on the data bus
Supervisor (Input Active Low) Indicates that the processor is operating in supervisor mode Required for access to
configuration registers
System Clock (Input) Processor output clock required to operate and synchronize NSBMC960 internal functions
Bus Error (Output Active Low) When enabled this signal is generated by the Bus Watch Circuit to prevent
processor lock-up on access to a region that is not responding
Interrupt (Output 12 mA Active Low) This signal is assented when the 24-bit counter reaches terminal count and
interrupt out is enabled May be programmed for pulse or handshake operation
Chip ID (Input) These inputs select the address offset of the NSBMC960 configuration registers Each NSBMC960 in
a system must have a unique address for proper operation
