MAILBOX OVERVIEW

For a detailed description of the Mailbox interface, ref-

erence Chapter 8.

PASS-THRU OVERVIEW

The S5920 provides data transfers between the PCI

bus and the user local bus through the Pass-Thru data

channel. Using a handshaking protocol with Add-On

device(s), the PCI bus can directly access data on the

Add-On bus and internal S5920 Operation registers.

The Pass-Thru data channel is very flexible for user

memory access or accessing registers within peripher-

als on the Add-On bus. Pass-Thru operation in Active

or Passive mode requires an external non-volatile

memory device to define and configure the Pass-Thru

channel region sizes and bus widths.

Four user-configurable Pass-Thru regions are avail-

able in the S5920. Each region is defined by a PCI

Configuration Base Address Register (BADR1-4). A

Pass-Thru region defines a block of predefined user

space address in either host memory or I/O areas.

Memory mapped regions can be requested below 1

Mbyte (Real Mode address space for a PC). Each

region is configurable for bus widths of 8, 16 or 32 bits

for the Add-On bus interface.

The S5920 Pass-Thru channel supports single data

transfers as well as burst transfers. When accessed

with burst transfers, the S5920 supports data transfers

at the full PCI bandwidth. The data transfer rate is only

limited by the PCI initiator performing the access and

the speed of the Add-On bus logic.

WRITE FIFO OVERVIEW

For PCI write cycles, the S5920 has an 8x32-bit Write

FIFO to increase performance for slow Add-On

devices. When the FIFO is enabled, the S5920 will

accept data transfers from the PCI bus at zero wait

states until the FIFO is full. The device continues to fill

the FIFO as long as the transfers are sequential. The

S5920 can continue accepting sequential write PCI

transfers as long as the FIFO is not full and the bound-

ary of the Pass-Thru region defined by the Base

Address Register is not crossed. If the next data

access is for a non-sequential address, the FIFO must

first be emptied by the Add-On peripheral in order for

the next transfer to occur.

The Write FIFO can be disabled, thus configuring the

FIFO to act as a single DWORD data buffer. In this

case, PCI Write Posting is not possible.

READ FIFO OVERVIEW

The S5920 has an 8x32-bit Read FIFO, which allows

data to be prefetched from the add on bus. The user

can program the device to prefetch 2,4 or 8 DWORDs

for each region or disable prefetching completely. For

the first PCI read cycle, the device will request data

from the Add-On bus. As the PCI bus reads the FIFO,

and until after the PCI transfer has finished, the S5920

will prefetch the next N (2, 4 or 8) DWORDs from the

Add-On. The prefetched data is valid as long as the

PCI read addresses are sequential. If the current PCI

read address is not the previous address plus four, or

if a PCI write access occurs, the S5920 will flush the

FIFO and start a new transfer at this address. Flushing

the FIFO will incur a minimum loss of one PCI clock

cycle or possibly more if the Add-On logic has not fin-

ished its current prefetching transfer. Note that

prefetching is not performed past the upper limit of the

base address region. In fact, prefetching is disabled

when the PCI address is eight DWORDs from the end

of the region.

Prefetch cycles are always 32 bits regardless of Add-

On bus width or the byte enables requested by the

PCI.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The S5920 Pass-Thru interface supports both single

cycle (one data phase) and burst accesses (multiple

data phases).

Pass-Thru Transfers

The Pass-Thru interface offers two different modes of

operation: Passive mode and Active mode. Passive

mode is configured by strapping the pin PTMODE

high, while Active mode is configured by strapping the

pin PTMODE Low.

PTMODE = 1 - Passive Operation

PTMODE = 0 - Active Operation

Passive operation allows external Add-On bus periph-

erals to provide read and write control signals to the

S5920. The user drives SELECT#, RD#, WR#.

ADR[6:2] and PTRDY#. The Add-On bus logic has the

flexibility of determining when it wants to perform

reads/writes.

Some applications may require that a PCI address be

passed for Pass-Thru accesses. For example, a 4-

Kbyte Pass-Thru region on the PCI bus may corre-

spond to a 4-Kbyte block of SRAM on the Add-On

card. If a PCI initiator accesses this region, the Add-

On would need to know the offset within the memory

device to access. The Pass-Thru Address Register

(APTA) allows Add-On logic to access address infor-
