522 INCREMENTAL LATENCY MECHANISM

As a target the PCEB supports the Incremental Latency Mechanism for PCI-to-EISA cycles The PCI specifi-

cation states that for multi-data phase PCI cycles if the incremental latency from current data phase (N) to the

next data phase (Na1) is greater than eight PCICLKs the target must manipulate TRDY

and STOP

stop the transaction after the current data phase (N) All PCI-to-EISA cycles (memory readwrite and IO read

write) are automatically terminated (during a burst) after the first data phase because they require more than

eight PCICLKs to complete on the EISA Bus

Therefore the PCEB does not need to specifically implement an 8 PCICLK timer and the PCEB handles a

disconnect in a pre-determined fashion based on the type of current transaction

53 PCI Bus Parity Support And Error Reporting

PCI provides for parity and asynchronous system errors to be detected and reported separately The PCEB

ESC chip set implements both mechanisms The PCEB implements only parity generation and checking and it

does not interface to the SERR

signal Reporting of both PERR

and SERR

indicated errors is implement-

ed in the ESC

531 PARITY GENERATION AND CHECKING

The PCEB supports parity generation and checking on the PCI Bus During the address and data phases

parity covers AD 310 and the CBE 30

lines regardless of whether or not all lines carry meaningful

information Byte lanes that are not actually transferring data are still required to be driven with stable (albeit

meaningless) data and are included in the parity calculation Parity is calculated such that the number of 1s on

AD 310

CBE 30

and the PAR signals is an even number

The role of the PCEB in parity generationchecking depends on the phase of the cycle (address or data) the

type of bus cycle (read or write) and whether the PCEB is a master or target The following paragraphs and

Figure 20 summarize the behavior of the PCEB during the address and data phase of a PCI Bus cycle
