MC68360 USER’S MANUAL
Once an external device receives the bus and asserts BGACK, it should negate BR. If BR
remains asserted after BGACK is asserted, the QUICC assumes that another device is
requesting the bus and prepares to issue another BG.
4.6.4 Bus Arbitration Control
The bus arbitration control unit in the QUICC is implemented with a finite state machine. As
discussed previously, all asynchronous inputs to the QUICC are internally synchronized in
a maximum of two cycles of the clock. As shown in
Figure 4-37, input signals labeled R and
A are internally synchronized versions of BR and BGACK, respectively. The BG output is
labeled G, and the internal high-impedance control signal is labeled T. If T is true, the
address, data, and control buses are placed in the high-impedance state after the next rising
edge following the negation of AS and RMC. All signals are shown in positive logic (active
high), regardless of their true active voltage level. The state machine shown in
Figure 4-37does not have a state 1 or state 4.
State changes occur on the next rising edge of the clock after the internal signal is valid. The
BG signal transitions on the rising edge of the clock after a state is reached during which G
changes. The bus control signals (controlled by T) are driven by the QUICC immediately fol-
lowing a state change, when bus mastership is returned to the QUICC. State 0, in which G
and T are both negated, is the state of the bus arbiter while the QUICC is bus master. R and
A keep the arbiter in state 0 as long as they are both negated.
The QUICC does not allow arbitration of the external bus during the RMC sequence. For the
duration of this sequence, the QUICC ignores the BR input. If mastership of the bus is
required during an RMC operation, BERR must be used to abort the RMC sequence.
