Functional Timing<br />

Pipelined Cycles<br />

The input signal NA is a request to the CPU to drive the address, byte enables,<br />

and bus status signals for the next bus cycle as soon as they become internally<br />

available. "Pipelining" this address allows the system logic to anticipate the<br />

next bus cycle operation.<br />

The CPU cannot acknowledge both address pipelining and 8S16 for the same<br />

bus cycle. If NA is already sampled when 8S16 is asserted, the data bus<br />

remains 32-bits wide. If NA and 8816 are asserted in the same window, NA<br />

is ignored and 8S16 remains effective (the data bus becomes 16-bits wide).<br />

Figure 4-14 illustrates the interaction between NA and 8S16.<br />
