Am5X86 Microprocessor

AMD

PRELIMINARY

The Am5X86 CPU product family requires INTR to be

held active until the CPU issues an interrupt acknowl-

edge cycle to guarantee recognition. This condition also

applies to the existing Am486 CPUs.

In the Stop Grant state, the system can stop or change

the CLK input. When the clock stops, the CPU enters

the Stop Clock state. The CPU returns to the Stop Grant

state immediately when the CLK input is restarted. You

must hold the STPCLK input Low until a stabilized fre-

quency has been maintained for at least 1 ms to ensure

that the PLL has had sufficient time to stabilize.

The CPU generates a Stop Grant bus cycle when en-

tering the state from the Normal or the Auto HALT Power

Down state. When the CPU enters the Stop Grant state

from the Stop Clock state or the Stop Clock Snoop state,

the CPU does not generate a Stop Grant bus cycle.

5.5.3

Stop Clock State

Stop Clock state is entered from the Stop Grant state

by stopping the CLK input (either logic High or logic

Low). None of the CPU input signals should change

state while the CLK input is stopped. Any transition on

an input signal (except INTR) before the CPU has re-

turned to the Stop Grant state may result in unpredict-

able behavior. If INTR goes active while the CLK input

is stopped, and stays active until the CPU issues an

interrupt acknowledge bus cycle, it is serviced in the

normal manner. System design must ensure the CPU

is in the correct state prior to asserting cache invalidation

or interrupt signals to the CPU.

5.5.4

Auto Halt Power Down State

A HALT instruction causes the CPU to enter the Auto

HALT Power Down state. The CPU issues a normal

HALT bus cycle, and only transitions to the Normal state

when INTR, NMI, SMI, RESET, or SRESET occurs.

The system can generate a STPCLK while the CPU is

in the Auto HALT Power Down state. The CPU gener-

ates a Stop Grant bus cycle when it enters the Stop

Grant state from the HALT state. When the system deas-

serts the STPCLK interrupt, the CPU returns execution

to the HALT state. The CPU generates a new HALT bus

cycle when it reenters the HALT state from the Stop

Grant state.

5.5.5

Stop Clock Snoop State

(Cache Invalidations)

When the CPU is in the Stop Grant state or the Auto

HALT Power Down state, the CPU recognizes HOLD,

AHOLD, BOFF, and EADS for cache invalidation. When

the system asserts HOLD, AHOLD, or BOFF, the CPU

floats the bus accordingly. When the system asserts

EADS, the CPU transparently enters Stop Clock Snoop

state and powers up for one full clock to perform the

required cache snoop cycle. If a modified line is

snooped, a cache write-back occurs with HITM transi-

tioning active until the completion of the write-back. It

then powers down and returns to the previous state. The

CPU does not generate a bus cycle when it returns to

the previous state.

5.5.6

Cache Flush State

When configured in Write-back mode, the processor

recognizes FLUSH for copying back modified cache

lines to memory in the Auto Halt Power Down State or

Normal State. Upon the completion of the cache flush,

the processor returns to its prior state, and regenerates

a special bus cycle, if necessary.

SRESET FUNCTION

The Am5X86 microprocessor family supports a soft re-

set function through the SRESET pin. SRESET forces

the processor to begin execution in a known state. The

processor state after SRESET is the same as after RE-

SET except that the internal caches, CD and NW in CR0,

write buffers, SMBASE registers, and floating-point reg-

isters retain the values they had prior to SRESET, and

cache snooping is allowed. The processor starts exe-

cution at physical address FFFFFFF0h. SRESET can

be used to help performance for DOS extenders written

for the 80286 processor. SRESET provides a method

to switch from Protected to Real mode while maintaining

the internal caches, CR0, and the FPU state. SRESET

may not be used in place of RESET after power-up.

In Write-back mode, once SRESET is sampled active,

the SRESET sequence begins on the next instruction

boundary (unless FLUSH or RESET occur before that

boundary). When started, the SRESET sequence con-

tinues to completion and then normal processor execu-

tion resumes, independent of the deassertion of

SRESET. If a snoop hits a modified line during SRESET,

a normal write-back cycle occurs. ADS is asserted to

drive the bus cycles even if SRESET is not deasserted.

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT MODE

7.1

Overview

The Am5X86 microprocessor supports four modes: Re-

al, Virtual, Protected, and System Management mode

(SMM). As an operating mode, SMM has a distinct pro-

cessor environment, interface, and hardware/software

features. SMM lets the system designer add new soft-

ware-controlled features to the computer products that

always operate transparent to the operating system

(OS) and software applications. SMM is intended for

use only by system firmware, not by applications soft-

ware or general purpose systems software.

The SMM architectural extension consists of the follow-

ing elements:
