18522F/0—Jan1997 AMD-K5 Processor Data Sheet
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
FLUSH Cache Flush Input
Asserting FLUSH will flush the internal caches. For accep-
tance, FLUSH must meet the required setup and hold times for
one or more clocks. Instruction and data caches will be invali-
dated. Any modified data in the data cache will be written
back. A flush acknowledge cycle will follow the invalidation to
notify external logic that the internal caches have been
flushed. The FLUSH signal is also sampled at the falling edge
of RESET. If sampled Low, the processor will operate in Tri-
State Test mode.
FRCMC Functional Redundancy Check
Master/Checker Input
FRCMC is used to configure the processor as a Master or
Checker. FRCMC is only sampled at RESET. Sampling FRCMC
High configures the AMD-K5 processor for Master mode opera-
tion, and sampling FRCMC Low configures the processor for
Checker operation. The processor follows standard bus proto-
col in Master mode. It floats all outputs, with the exception of
IERR and TDO, in Checker mode. In Checker mode, all signals
are inputs and their values are compared with predicted
values.
HIT Hit Output
The HIT signal is asserted when an inquire cycle hits a valid
line in the instruction or data cache. This signal can be sam-
pled two clock cycles after EADS has been sampled as
asserted.
HITM Hit to a Modified Line Output
The HITM signal is asserted when an inquire cycle hits a modi-
fied line in the data cache. This signal can be sampled two
clock cycles after EADS has been sampled as asserted. HITM
will remain asserted until the modified line has been written
back.
HLDA Hold Acknowledge Output
The HLDA signal is driven to acknowledge a bus hold request.
The bus is floated when HLDA is asserted. HLDA will be
negated one clock cycle after HOLD is negated. (See HOLD.)
