Internal Architecture
The AMD-K6-2E processor implements advanced design
techniques known as the RISC86 microarchitecture. The
RISC86 microarchitecture is a decoupled decode/execution
design approach that yields superior sixth-generation
performance for x86-based software. This chapter describes the
techniques used and the functional elements of the RISC86
microarchitecture.

Chapter 2
Architecture refers to the instruction set and features of a
processor that are visible to software programs running on
the processor. The architecture determines which software
the processor can run. The architecture of the AMD-K6-2E
processor is the industry-standard x86 instruction set.
Microarchitecture refers to the design techniques used in the
processor to reach the target cost, performance, and
functionality goals. The AMD-K6-2E processor is based on a
sophisticated RISC core known as the Enhanced RISC86
microarchitecture. The Enhanced RISC86 microarchitecture
is an advanced, second-order decoupled decode/execution
design approach that enables industry-leading performance
for x86-based software.
Design implementation refers to the actual logic and circuit
designs from which the processor is created according to the

characteristics of the AMD-K6-2E processor. The innovative
RISC86 microarchitecture approach implements the x86
instruction set by internally translating x86 instructions into
RISC86 operations. These RISC86 operations were specially
designed to include direct support for the x86 instruction set
while observing the RISC performance principles of fixed
length encoding, regularized instruction fields, and a large
register set.

performance and promotes straightforward extensibility in
future designs. Instead of directly executing complex x86
instruct ions, which have lengths of 1 to 15 bytes, the
AMD-K6-2E processor executes the simpler and easier
fixed-length RISC86 opcodes, while maintaining the instruction
coding efficiencies found in x86 programs.
The AMD-K6-2E processor contains parallel decoders, a
centralized RISC86 operation scheduler, and ten execution
units that support superscalar operation—multiple decode,
execution, and retirement—of x86 instructions. These elements
are packed into an aggressive and highly efficient six-stage
pipeline.
AMD-K6™-2E
Processor Block
Diagram
As shown in Figure 1 on page 9, the high-performance,
out-of-order execution engine of the AMD-K6-2E processor is
mated to a split level-one 64-Kbyte writeback cache with 32
Kbytes of instruction cache and 32 Kbytes of data cache. The
instruction cache feeds the decoders and, in turn, the decoders
feed the scheduler. The Instruction Control Unit (ICU) issues
and retires RISC86 operations contained in the scheduler. The
system bus interface is an industry-standard 64-bit Super7 and
Socket 7 demultiplexed bus.
The AMD-K6-2E processor combines the latest in processor
microarchitecture to provide the highest x86 performance for
today’s computational systems. The AMD-K6-2E offers true
sixth-generation performance and x86 binary software
compatibility.

Decoding of the x86 instructions begins when the on-chip
instruction cache is filled. Predecode logic determines the
length of an x86 instruction on a byte-by-byte basis. This

instructions, in the instruction cache, to be used later by the
decoders. The decoders translate on-the-fly, with no additional
latency, up to two x86 instructions per clock into RISC86
operations.
Note: In this chapter, “clock” refers to a processor clock.
The AMD-K6-2E processor categorizes x86 instructions into
three types of decodes—short, long, and vector. The decoders
process either two short, one long, or one vector decode at a
time.

The three types of decodes have the following characteristics:
■
■
■
Short decodes—x86 instructions that are less than or equal
to seven bytes long
Long decodes—x86 instructions less than or equal to 11
bytes long
Vector decodes—complex x86 instructions
Short and long decodes are processed completely within the
decoders. Vector decodes are started by the decoders and then
completed by fetched sequences from an on-chip ROM. After
decoding, the RISC86 operations are delivered to the scheduler
for dispatching to the execution units.
Scheduler/Instruction
Control Unit
The centralized scheduler or buffer is managed by the ICU. The
ICU buffers and manages up to 24 RISC86 operations at a time.
This equals from 6 to 12 x86 instructions. This buffer size (24) is
perfectly matched to the processor’s six-stage RISC86 pipeline,
four RISC86-operations decode rate, and ten parallel execution
units.
The scheduler accepts as many as four RISC86 operations at a
time from the decoders and retires up to four RISC86

Branch history/Prediction table
Branch target cache
Return address stack
The AMD-K6-2E processor implements a two-level branch
prediction scheme based on an 8192-entry branch history table.
The branch history table stores prediction information that is
used for predicting conditional branches. Because the branch
history table does not store predicted target addresses, special
address ALUs calculate target addresses on-the-fly during
instruction decode.

performance by avoiding a one clock cache-fetch penalty. This
specialized target cache does this by supplying the first 16 bytes
of target instructions to the decoders when branches are
predicted. The return address stack is a unique device
specifically designed for optimizing CALL and RETURN pairs.
In summary, the AMD-K6-2E processor uses dynamic branch
logic to minimize delays due to the branch instructions that are
common in x86 software.

Cache, Instruction Prefetch, and Predecode Bits
The writeback level-one cache on the AMD-K6-2E processor is
organized as a separate 32-Kbyte instruction cache and a
32-Kbyte data cache with two-way set associativity. The cache
line size is 32 bytes and lines are prefetched from main memory
using an efficient pipelined burst transaction.
As the instruction cache is filled, each instruction byte is
analyzed for instruction boundaries using predecoding logic.
Predecoding annotates each instruction byte with information
(5 bits per byte) that later enables the decoders to efficiently
decode multiple instructions simultaneously.
Cache
Tag Address
The processor cache design takes advantage of a sectored
organization (see Figure 2). Each sector consists of 64 bytes
configured as two 32-byte cache lines. The two cache lines of a
sector share a common tag but have separate pairs of MESI
(Modified, Exclusive, Shared, Invalid) bits that track the state
of each cache line.
Cache Line 0 Byte 31 Predecode Bits Byte 30 Predecode Bits ........ ........ Byte 0 Predecode Bits MESI Bits
Cache Line 1 Byte 31 Predecode Bits Byte 30 Predecode Bits ........ ........ Byte 0 Predecode Bits MESI Bits
Figure 2. Cache Sector Organization
Two forms of cache misses and associated cache fills can take
place—a tag-miss cache fill and a tag-hit cache fill.
■
■
Prefetching
12
Tag-miss cache fill—The miss is due to a tag mismatch, in
which case the required cache line is filled from external
memory, and the cache line within the sector that was not
required is marked as invalid.
Tag-hit cache fill—The address matches the tag, but the
requested cache line is marked as invalid. The required
cache line is filled from external memory, and the cache line
within the sector that is not required remains in the same
cache state.
The AMD-K6-2E processor conditionally performs cache
prefetching which results in the filling of the required cache
line first, and a prefetch of the second cache line making up the
other half of the sector. From the perspective of the external
bus, the two cache-line fills typically appear as two 32-byte

burst read cycles occurring back-to-back or, if allowed, as
pipelined cycles.
The 3DNow! technology includes a new instruction named
PREFETCH that allows a cache line to be prefetched into the
data cache. The PREFETCH instruction format is defined in
Table 15, “3DNow!™ Instructions,” on page 81. For more
detailed information, see the 3DNow!™ Technology Manual,
order #21928.
Predecode Bits
2.3
Decoding x86 instructions is particularly difficult because the
instructions are variable in length (1 to 15 bytes). Predecode
logic supplies the five predecode bits associated with each
instruction byte. The predecode bits indicate the number of
bytes to the start of the next x86 instruction. The predecode
bits are stored in an extended instruction cache alongside each
x86 instruction byte, as shown in Figure 2 on page 12. The
predecode bits are passed with the instruction bytes to the
decoders where they assist with parallel x86 instruction
decoding.
Instruction Fetch and Decode
Instruction Fetch
The processor can fetch up to 16 bytes per clock out of the
instruction cache or branch target cache. The fetched
information is placed into a 16-byte instruction buffer that
feeds directly into the decoders (see Figure 3 on page 14).
Fetching can occur along a single execution stream with up to
seven outstanding branches taken.
The instruction fetch logic is capable of retrieving any 16
contiguous bytes of information within a 32-byte boundary.
There is no additional penalty when the 16 bytes of instructions
lie across a cache line boundary. The instruction bytes are
loaded into the instruction buffer as they are consumed by the
decoders.
Although instructions can be consumed with byte granularity,
the instruction buffer is managed on a memory-aligned word
(two bytes) organization. Therefore, instructions are loaded and
replaced with word granularity. When a control transfer
occurs — such as a JMP instruction — the entire instruction
buffer is flushed and reloaded with a new set of 16 instruction
bytes.

Instruction Decode
The AMD-K6-2E processor decode logic is designed to decode
multiple x86 instructions per clock (see Figure 4 on page 15).
The decode logic accepts x86 instruction bytes and their
predecode bits from the instruction buffer, locates the actual
instruction boundaries, and generates RISC86 operations from
these x86 instructions.
RISC86 operations are fixed-format internal instructions. Most
RISC86 operations execute in a single clock. RISC86 operations
are combined to perform every function of the x86 instruction
set. Some x86 instructions are decoded into as few as zero
RISC86 opcodes, for instance a NOP, or one RISC86 operation,
a register-to-register add. More complex x86 instructions are
decoded into several RISC86 operations.

Figure 4. AMD-K6™-2E Processor Decode Logic
The AMD-K6-2E processor uses a combination of decoders to
convert x86 instructions into RISC86 operations. The hardware
consists of three sets of decoders—two parallel short decoders,
one long decoder, and one vector decoder.
Parallel Short Decoders. The two parallel short decoders translate
the most commonly-used x86 instructions ( moves, shifts,
branches, ALU, FPU) and the extensions to the x86 instruction
set (MMX and 3DNow! technology) into zero, one, or two
RISC86 operations each. The short decoders only operate on
x86 instructions that are up to seven bytes long. In addition, the
decoders are designed to decode up to two x86 instructions per
clock.
Chapter 2
Internal Architecture
15
Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet

Long Decoder. The commonly-used x86 instructions that are
greater than seven bytes but not more than 11 bytes long, and
the x86 instructions that are slightly less common and are up to
seven bytes long are handled by the long decoder. The long
decoder only performs one decode per clock and generates up
to four RISC86 operations.
Vector Decoder. All other translations (complex instructions,
serializing conditions, interrupts and exceptions, etc.) are
handled by a combination of the vector decoder and RISC86
operation sequences fetched from an on-chip ROM. For
complex operations, the vector decoder logic provides the first
set of RISC86 operations and a vector (initial ROM address) to a
sequence of further RISC86 operations. The same types of
RISC86 operations are fetched from the ROM as those that are
generated by the hardware decoders.
Note: Although all three sets of decoders are simultaneously fed a
copy of the instruction buffer contents, only one of the three
types of decoders is used during any one decode clock.
Grouped Operations. The decoders or the RISC86 sequencer
always generate a group of four RISC86 operations. For decodes
that cannot fill the entire group with four RISC86 operations,
RISC86 NOP operations are placed in the empty locations of
the grouping. For example, a long-decoded x86 instruction that
converts to only three RISC86 operations is padded with a
single RISC86 NOP operation and then passed to the scheduler.
Up to six groups, or 24 RISC86 operations, can be placed in the
scheduler at a time.
Floating Point Instructions. All of the common, and a few of the
uncommon, floating-point instructions (also known as ESC
instructions) are hardware decoded as short decodes. This
decode generates a RISC86 floating-point operation and,
optionally, an associated floating-point load or store operation.
Floating-point or ESC instruction decode is only allowed in the
first short decoder, but non-ESC instructions, excluding MMX
instructions, can be decoded simultaneously by the second
short decoder along with an ESC instruction decode in the first
short decoder.
MMX and 3DNow!™ Instructions. A l l o f t h e M M X a n d 3 D N ow !
instructions, with the exception of the EMMS, FEMMS, and
PREFETCH instructions, are hardware decoded as short

decodes. The MMX instruction decode generates a RISC86
MMX operation and, optionally, an associated MMX load or
store operation. A 3DNow! instruction decode generates a
RISC86 3DNow! operation and, optionally, an associated load or
store operation. MMX and 3DNow! instructions can be decoded
in either or both of the short decoders.
2.4
Centralized Scheduler
The scheduler is the heart of the AMD-K6-2E processor (see
Figure 5 on page 18). The scheduler contains the logic necessary
to manage out-of-order execution, data forwarding, register
renaming, simultaneous issue and retirement of multiple
RISC86 operations, and speculative execution.
The scheduler’s buffer can hold up to 24 RISC86 operations.
This equates to a maximum of 12 x86 instructions. When
possible, the scheduler can simultaneously issue a RISC86
operation to any available execution unit (store, load, branch,
integer, integer/multimedia, or floating-point). In total, the
scheduler can issue up to six and retire up to four RISC86
operations per clock.
The main advantage of the scheduler and its operation buffer is
the ability to examine an x86 instruction window equal to 12
x86 instructions at one time. This advantage is due to the fact
that the scheduler operates on the RISC86 operations in
parallel and allows the AMD-K6-2E processor to perform
dynamic on-the-fly instruction code scheduling for optimized
execution. Although the scheduler can issue RISC86 operations
for out-of-order execution, it always retires x86 instructions in
order.

Execution Units
The AMD-K6-2E processor contains ten parallel execution
units—store, load, integer X ALU, integer Y ALU, MMX ALU
(X), MMX ALU (Y), MMX/3DNow! multiplier, 3DNow! ALU,
floating-point, and branch condition. Each unit is independent
and capable of handling the RISC86 operations. Table 1 on
page 19 details the execution units, functions performed within
these units, operation latency, and operation throughput.
The store and load execution units are two-stage pipelined
designs.
■
■

The store unit performs data writes and register calculation
for LEA/PUSH. Data memory and register writes from stores
are available after one clock. Store operations are held in a
store queue prior to execution. From there, they execute in
order.
The load unit performs data memory reads. Data is available
from the load unit after two clocks.

The register X and Y functional units are attached to the issue

has dedicated resources that consist of an integer execution
unit and an MMX ALU execution unit, therefore allowing
superscalar operation on integer and MMX instructions. In
addition, both the X and Y issue buses are connected to the
3DNow! ALU, the MMX/3DNow! multiplier, and MMX shifter,
which allows the appropriate RISC86 operation to be issued
through either bus. Figure 6 on page 20 shows the details of the
X and Y register pipelines.

The branch condition unit is separate from the branch

2.6
Branch-Prediction Logic
Sophisticated branch logic that can minimize or hide the impact
of changes in program flow is designed into the AMD-K6-2E
processor. Branches in x86 code fit into two categories:
20
■
Unconditional branches always change program flow (that is,
the branches are always taken)
■
Conditional branches may or may not divert program flow
(that is, the branches are taken or not-taken). When a
conditional branch is not taken, the processor simply
continues decoding and executing the next instructions in
memory.
Internal Architecture

Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet

Typical applications have up to 10% of unconditional branches
and another 10% to 20% conditional branches. The AMD-K6-2E
processor branch logic has been designed to handle this type of
program behavior and its negative effects on instruction
execution, such as stalls due to delayed instruction fetching and
the draining of the processor pipeline. The branch logic
contains an 8192-entry branch history table, a 16-entry by
16-byte branch target cache, a 16-entry return address stack,
and a branch execution unit.
Branch History Table
The AMD-K6-2E processor handles unconditional branches
without any penalty by redirecting instruction fetching to the
target address of the unconditional branch. However,
c o n d i t i o n a l b ra n che s re q u i re t h e u se o f t h e dy n a m i c
branch-prediction mechanism built into the AMD-K6-2E
processor.
A two-level adaptive history algorithm is implemented in an
8192-entry branch history table. This table stores executed
branch information, predicts individual branches, and predicts
the behavior of groups of branches.
To accommodate the large branch history table, the AMD-K6-2E
processor does not store predicted target addresses. Instead,
the branch target addresses are calculated on-the-fly using
ALUs during the decode stage. The adders calculate all
possible target addresses before the instructions are fully
decoded, and the processor chooses which addresses are valid.
Branch Target Cache
To avoid a one clock cache-fetch penalty when a branch is
predicted taken, a built-in branch target cache supplies the first
16 bytes of instructions directly to the instruction buffer
(assuming the target address hits this cache). (See Figure 3 on
page 14.)
The branch target cache is organized as 16 entries of 16 bytes.
In total, the branch prediction logic achieves branch prediction
rates greater than 95%.
Return Address Stack
Chapter 2
The return address stack is a special device designed to
optimize CALL and RET pairs. Software is typically compiled
with subroutines that are frequently called from various places
in a program. This is usually done to save space.
Internal Architecture
21
Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet
22529B/0—January 2000
Entry into the subroutine occurs with the execution of a CALL
instruction. At that time, the processor pushes the address of
the next instruction in memory following the CALL instruction
onto the stack (allocated space in memory). When the processor
encounters a RET instruction (within or at the end of the
subroutine), the branch logic pops the address from the stack
and begins fetching from that location. To avoid the latency of
main memory accesses during CALL and RET operations, the
return address stack caches the pushed addresses.
Branch Execution
Unit
The branch execution unit enables efficient speculative
execution. This unit gives the processor the ability to execute
instructions beyond conditional branches before knowing
whether the branch prediction was correct.
The AMD-K6-2E processor does not permanently update the
x86 registers or memory locations until all speculatively
executed conditional branch instructions are resolved. When a
prediction is incorrect, the processor backs out to the point of
the mispredicted branch instruction and restores all registers.
The AMD-K6-2E processor can support up to seven outstanding
branches.

data types, registers, operating modes, interrupts, and
instructions supported by the AMD-K6-2E architecture and
design implementation.
The s tepping of the Model 8 versi on of the proces sor
determines the implementation and format of ten ModelSpecific Registers (MSRs).
The AMD-K6-2E processor supports Model 8 steppings [F:8] in
any of eight possible model/steppings—Models 8/8, 8/9, 8/A, 8/B,
8/C, 8/D, 8/E, or 8/F.

The AMD-K6-2E processor contains all the registers defined by

In addition to information about these registers, this chapter

The operating system determines the type of memory model

by the operating system’s memory model. In a real mode
memory model, the segment register points to the base address
in memory.
In a protected mode memory model, the segment register is
called a selector and it selects a segment descriptor in a
descriptor table. This descriptor contains a pointer to the base
of the segment, the limit of the segment, and various protection
attributes. For more information on descriptor formats, see
“Descriptors and Gates” on page 52. Figure 10 on page 27 shows
segment usage for real mode and protected mode memory

track of where the next instruction resides within memory. This
register cannot be directly manipulated, but can be altered by
modifying return pointers when a JMP or CALL instruction is
used.
Floating-Point
Registers
The floating-point execution unit in the AMD-K6-2E processor
is designed to perform mathematical operations on non-integer
numbers. This floating-point unit conforms to the IEEE 754 and
854 standards and uses several registers to meet these
standards — eight numeric floating-point registers, a status
word register, a control word register, and a tag word register.

MCAR and MCTR
The AMD-K6-2E processor does not support the generation of a
machine-check exception. However, the processor does provide
a 64-bit machine-check address register (MCAR), a 64-bit
machine-check type register (MCTR), and a machine check
enable (MCE) bit in CR4.
Because the processor does not support machine check
exceptions, the contents of the MCAR and MCTR registers are
only affected by the WRMSR instruction and by RESET being
sampled asserted (where all bits in each register are reset to 0).
The formats for the machine-check address register and the
machine-check type register are shown in Figure 30 and Figure

Type Range Registers (MTRRs)—MTRR0 and MTRR1—that
each specify a range of memory. Each range can be defined as
uncacheable (UC) or write-combining (WC) memory. Figure 37
shows the format of the UWCCR register. For more detailed
information about the MTRR0, MTRR1, and UWCCR registers,
see “Memory Type Range Registers” on page 207.

Page Flush/Invalidate
Register (PFIR)
22529B/0—January 2000
The AMD-K6-2E processor contains the Page Flush/Invalidate
Register (PFIR) (see Figure 39) that allows cache invalidation
and optional flushing of a specific 4-Kbyte page from the linear
address space. Using this register can result in a much lower
cycle count for flushing particular pages versus flushing the
entire cache. When the PFIR is written to (using the WRMSR
instruction), the invalidation and, optionally, the flushing
begins.

Paging
The AMD-K6-2E processor can physically address up to four
Gbytes of memory. This memory can be segmented into pages.
The size of these pages is determined by the operating system
design and the values set up in the page directory entries (PDE)
and page table entries (PTE).
The processor can access both 4-Kbyte pages and 4-Mbyte
pages, and the page sizes can be intermixed within a page
directory. When the page size extension (PSE) bit in CR4 is set,
the processor translates linear addresses using either the
4-Kbyte translation lookaside buffer (TLB) or the 4-Mbyte TLB,
depending on the state of the page size (PS) bit in the page
directory entry. Figures 42 and 43 show how 4-Kbyte and
4-Mbyte page translations work.

Descriptors and Gates
There are various types of structures and registers in the x86
architecture that define, protect, and isolate code segments,
data segments, task state segments, and gates. These structures
are called descriptors.
■
■
■
52
The application segment descriptor is used to point to either a
data or code segment. Figure 47 on page 53 shows the
application segment descriptor format. Table 9 contains
information describing the memory segment type to which
the descriptor points.
The system segment descriptor is used to point to a task state
segment, a call gate, or a local descriptor table. Figure 48 on
page 54 shows the system segment descriptor format. Table
10 contains information describing the type of segment or
gate to which the descriptor points.
The AMD-K6-2E processor uses gates to transfer control
between executable segments with different privilege
levels. Figure 49 on page 55 shows the format of the gate
descriptor types. Table 10 contains information describing
the type of segment or gate to which the descriptor points.

Signal Terminology
The following terminology is used in this chapter:
■
■
■
■
■
Chapter 5
Driven—The processor actively pulls the signal up to the
High-voltage state or pulls the signal down to the
Low-voltage state.
Floated—The the signal is not being driven by the processor
(high-impedance state), which allows another device to
drive this signal.
Asserted—For all active-High signals, the term asserted
means the signal is in the High-voltage state. For all
active-Low signals, the term asserted means the signal is in
the Low-voltage state.
Negated—For all active-High signals, the term negated
means the signal is in the Low-voltage state. For all
active-Low signals, the term negated means the signal is in
the High-voltage state.
Sampled—The processor has measured the state of a signal
at predefined points in time and will take the appropriate
action based on the state of the signal. If a signal is not
sampled by the processor, its assertion or negation has no
effect on the operation of the processor.

A20M# (Address Bit 20 Mask)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
AK-08
Summary
A20M# is used to simulate the behavior of the 8086 when
running in real mode. The assertion of A20M # causes the
processor to force bit 20 of the physical address to 0 prior to
accessing the cache or driving out a memory bus cycle. The
clearing of address bit 20 maps addresses that wrap above
1 Mbyte to addresses below 1 Mbyte.
Sampled
The processor samples A20M # as a level-sensitive input on
every clock edge. The system logic can drive the signal either
s y n ch ro n o u s ly o r a s y n ch ro n o u s ly. I f i t i s a s s e r t e d
asynchronously, it must be asserted for a minimum pulse width
of two clocks.
The following list explains the effects of the processor sampling
A20M# asserted under various conditions:
■
■
■
■
■
86
Inquire cycles and writeback cycles are not affected by the
state of A20M#.
The assertion of A20M# in system management mode
(SMM) is ignored.
When A20M# is sampled asserted in protected mode, it
causes unpredictable processor operation. A20M# is only
defined in real mode.
To ensure that A20M# is recognized before the first ADS#
occurs following the negation of RESET, A20M# must be
sampled asserted on the same clock edge that RESET is
sampled negated or on one of the two subsequent clock
edges.
To ensure A20M# is recognized before the execution of an
instruction, a serializing instruction must be executed
between the instruction that asserts A20M# and the
targeted instruction.

A[31:3] (Address Bus)
Pin Attribute
A[31:5] Bidirectional, A[4:3] Output
Pin Location
See “Pin Designations by Functional Grouping” on page 301.
Summary
A[31:3] contain the physical address for the current bus cycle.
The processor drives addresses on A[31:3] during memory and
I/O cycles, and cycle definition information during special bus
cycles. The processor samples addresses on A[31:5] during
inquire cycles.
Driven, Sampled, and
Floated
As Outputs: A[31:3] are driven valid off the same clock edge as
ADS # and remain in the same state until the clock edge on
which NA# or the last expected BRDY# of the cycle is sampled
asserted. A[31:3] are driven during memory cycles, I/O cycles,
special bus cycles, and interrupt acknowledge cycles. The
processor continues to drive the address bus while the bus is
idle.
As Inputs: The processor samples A[31:5] during inquire cycles
on the clock edge on which EADS# is sampled asserted. Even
though A4 and A3 are not used during the inquire cycle, they
must be driven to a valid state and must meet the same timings
as A[31:5].
A[31:3] are floated off the clock edge that AHOLD or BOFF# is
sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor
asserts HLDA in recognition of HOLD.
The processor resumes driving A[31:3] off the clock edge on
which the processor samples AHOLD or BOFF# negated and off
the clock edge on which the processor negates HLDA.

ADS# (Address Strobe)
Pin Attribute
Output
Pin Location
AJ-05
Summary
The assertion of ADS # indicates the beginning of a new bus
cycle. The address bus and all cycle definition signals
corresponding to this bus cycle are driven valid off the same
clock edge as ADS#.
Driven and Floated
ADS # is asserted for one clock at the beginning of each bus
cycle. For non-pipelined cycles, ADS# can be asserted as early
as the clock edge after the clock edge on which the last
expected BRDY# of the cycle is sampled asserted, resulting in a
single idle state between cycles. For pipelined cycles if the
processor is prepared to start a new cycle, ADS# can be asserted
as early as one clock edge after NA# is sampled asserted.
If AHOLD is sampled asserted, ADS# is only driven in order to
perform a writeback cycle due to an inquire cycle that hits a
modified cache line.
The processor floats ADS # off the clock edge that BOFF # is
sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor
asserts HLDA in recognition of HOLD.

AM-02
Summary
ADSC # has the identical function and timing as ADS#. In the
event ADS# becomes too heavily loaded due to a large fanout in
a system, ADSC # can be used to split the load across two
outputs, which can improve system timing.

AHOLD (Address Hold)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
V-04
Summary
AHOLD can be asserted by the system to initiate one or more
inquire cycles. To allow the system to drive the address bus
during an inquire cycle, the processor floats A[31:3] and AP off
the clock edge on which AHOLD is sampled asserted. The data
bus and all other control and status signals remain under the
control of the processor and are not floated. This allows a bus
cycle that is in progress when AHOLD is sampled asserted to
continue to completion. The processor resumes driving the
address bus off the clock edge on which AHOLD is sampled
negated.
If AHOLD is sampled asserted, ADS# is only asserted in order
to perform a writeback cycle due to an inquire cycle that hits a
modified cache line.

AP (Address Parity)
Pin Attribute
Bidirectional
Pin Location
AK-02
Summary
AP contains the even parity bit for cache line addresses driven
and sampled on A[31:5]. Even parity means that the total
number of 1 bits on AP and A[31:5] is even. (A4 and A3 are not
used for the generation or checking of address parity because
these bits are not required to address a cache line.) AP is driven
by the processor during processor-initiated cycles and is
sampled by the processor during inquire cycles. If AP does not
reflect even parity during an inquire cycle, the processor
asserts APCHK # to indicate an address bus parity check. The
processor does not take an internal exception as the result of
detecting an address bus parity check, and system logic must
respond appropriately to the assertion of this signal.
Driven, Sampled, and
Floated
As an Output: The processor drives AP valid off the clock edge
on which ADS# is asserted until the clock edge on which NA# or
the last expected BRDY# of the cycle is sampled asserted. AP is
driven during memory cycles, I/O cycles, special bus cycles, and
interrupt acknowledge cycles. The processor continues to drive
AP while the bus is idle.
As an Input: The processor samples AP during inquire cycles on
the clock edge on which EADS# is sampled asserted.
The processor floats AP off the clock edge that AHOLD or
BOFF # is sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the
processor asserts HLDA in recognition of HOLD.
The processor resumes driving AP off the clock edge on which
the processor samples AHOLD or BOFF # negated and off the
clock edge on which the processor negates HLDA.

APCHK# (Address Parity Check)
Pin Attribute
Output
Pin Location
AE-05
Summary
If the processor detects an address parity error during an
inquire cycle, APCHK# is asserted for one clock. The processor
does not take an internal exception as the result of detecting an
address bus parity check, and system logic must respond
appropriately to the assertion of this signal.
The processor is designed so that APCHK # does not glitch,
enabling the signal to be used as a clocking source for system
logic.
Driven
APCHK# is driven valid off the clock edge after the clock edge
on which the processor samples EADS# asserted. It is negated
off the next clock edge.
APCHK# is always driven except in the three-state test mode.

BE[7:0]# (Byte Enables)
Pin Attribute
Output
Pin Location
See “Pin Designations by Functional Grouping” on page 301.
Summary
BE[7:0]# are used by the processor to indicate the valid data
bytes during a write cycle and the requested data bytes during
a read cycle. The byte enables can be used to derive address bits
A[2:0], which are not physically part of the processor’s address
bus. The processor checks and generates valid data parity for
the data bytes that are valid as defined by the byte enables. The
eight byte enables correspond to the eight bytes of the data bus
as follows:
■
■
■
■
BE7#: D[63:56]
BE6#: D[55:48]
BE5#: D[47:40]
BE4#: D[39:32]
■
■
■
■
BE3#: D[31:24]
BE2#: D[23:16]
BE1#: D[15:8]
BE0#: D[7:0]
The processor expects data to be driven by the system logic on
all eight bytes of the data bus during a burst cache-line read
cycle, independent of the byte enables that are asserted.
The byte enables are also used to distinguish between special
bus cycles as defined in Table 23 on page 132.
Driven and Floated
BE[7:0]# are driven off the same clock edge as ADS # and
remain in the same state until the clock edge on which NA# or
the last expected BRDY # of the cycle is sampled asserted.
BE[7:0]# are driven during memory cycles, I/O cycles, special
bus cycles, and interrupt acknowledge cycles.
The processor floats BE[7:0]# off the clock edge that BOFF# is
sampled asserted and off the clock edge that the processor
asserts HLDA in recognition of HOLD. Unlike the address bus,
BE[7:0]# are not floated in response to AHOLD.

BOFF# (Backoff)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
Z-04
Summary
If BOFF # is sampled asserted, the processor unconditionally
aborts any cycles in progress and transitions to a bus hold state
by floating the following signals: A[31:3], ADS #, ADSC #, AP,
BE[7:0]#, CACHE #, D[63:0], D/C #, DP[7:0], LOCK #, M/IO #,
PCD, PWT, SCYC, and W/R#. These signals remain floated until
BOFF# is sampled negated. This allows an alternate bus master
or the system to control the bus.
When BOFF# is sampled negated, any processor cycle that was
aborted due to the assertion of BOFF # is restarted from the
beginning of the cycle, regardless of the number of transfers
that were completed. If BOFF# is sampled asserted on the same
clock edge as BRDY# of a bus cycle of any length, then BOFF#
takes precedence over the BRDY #. In this case, the cycle is
aborted and restarted after BOFF# is sampled negated.
Sampled
BOFF# is sampled on every clock edge. The processor floats its
bus signals off the clock edge on which BOFF # is sampled
asserted. These signals remain floated until the clock edge on
which BOFF# is sampled negated.
BOFF # is recognized while INIT and RESET are sampled
asserted.

BRDY# (Burst Ready)
Pin Attribute
Input, Internal Pullup
Pin Location
X-04
Summary
BRDY# is asserted to the processor by system logic to indicate
either that the data bus is being driven with valid data during a
read cycle or that the data bus has been latched during a write
cycle. If necessary, the system logic can insert bus cycle wait
states by negating BRDY# until it is ready to continue the data
transfer. BRDY # is also used to indicate the completion of
special bus cycles.
Sampled
BRDY# is sampled every clock edge within a bus cycle starting
with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ADS #.
BRDY# is ignored while the bus is idle. The processor samples
the following inputs on the clock edge on which BRDY # is
sampled asserted: D[63:0], DP[7:0], and KEN # during read
cycles, EWBE # during write cycles (if not masked off), and
WB/WT # during read and write cycles. If NA # is sampled
asserted prior to BRDY#, then KEN# and WB/WT# are sampled
on the clock edge on which NA# is sampled asserted.
The number of times the processor expects to sample BRDY #
asserted depends on the type of bus cycle, as follows:
■
■
One time for a single-transfer cycle, a special bus cycle, or
each of two cycles in an interrupt acknowledge sequence
Four times for a burst cycle (once for each data transfer)
BRDY # can be held asserted for four consecutive clocks
throughout the four transfers of the burst, or it can be negated
to insert wait states.

Summary
BRDYC # has the identical function as BRDY #. In the event
BRDY # becomes too heavily loaded due to a large fanout or
loading in a system, BRDYC # can be used to reduce this
loading, which improves timing.

BRDYC# is sampled every clock edge within a bus cycle starting
with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ADS#.
5.14
BREQ (Bus Request)
Pin Attribute
Output
Pin Location
AJ-01
Summary
BREQ is asserted by the processor to request the bus in order to
complete an internally pending bus cycle. The system logic can
use BREQ to arbitrate among the bus participants. If the
processor does not own the bus, BREQ is asserted until the
processor gains access to the bus in order to begin the pending
cycle or until the processor no longer needs to run the pending
cycle. If the processor currently owns the bus, BREQ is asserted
with ADS#. The processor asserts BREQ for each assertion of
ADS# but does not necessarily assert ADS# for each assertion of
BREQ.
Driven
BREQ is asserted off the same clock edge on which ADS # is
asserted. BREQ can also be asserted off any clock edge,
independent of the assertion of ADS#. BREQ can be negated
one clock edge after it is asserted.
The processor always drives BREQ except in the three-state test
mode.

Summary
For reads, CACHE# is asserted to indicate the cacheability of
the current bus cycle. In addition, if the processor samples
KEN # assert ed, which indicates t he driven address is
cacheable, the cycle is a 32-byte burst read cycle. For write
cycles, CACHE# is asserted to indicate the current bus cycle is a
modified cache-line writeback. KEN # is ignored during
writebacks. If CACHE# is not asserted, or if KEN # is sampled
negated during a read cycle, the cycle is not cacheable and
defaults to a single-transfer cycle.
Driven and Floated
CACHE# is driven off the same clock edge as ADS# and remains
in the same state until the clock edge on which NA# or the last
expected BRDY# of the cycle is sampled asserted.
CACHE # is floated off the clock edge that BOFF # is sampled
asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts HLDA
in recognition of HOLD.

AK-18
Summary
The CLK signal is the bus clock for the processor and is the
reference for all signal timings under normal operation (except

frequency multiplier applied to CLK to obtain the processor’s
core operating frequency. See “BF[2:0] (Bus Frequency)” on
page 93 for a list of the processor-to-bus clock ratios.
Sampled
The CLK signal must be stable a minimum of 1.0 ms prior to the
negation of RESET to ensure the proper operation of the
processor. See “CLK Switching Characteristics” on page 267 for

As Outputs: For single-transfer write cycles, the processor drives
D[63:0] with valid data one clock edge after the clock edge on
which ADS# is asserted and D[63:0] remain in the same state
until the clock edge on which BRDY# is sampled asserted. If the
cycle is a writeback—in which case four, 8-byte transfers
occur—D[63:0] are driven one clock edge after the clock edge
on which ADS# is asserted and are subsequently changed off
the clock edge on which each BRDY# assertion of the burst
cycle is sampled.
If the assertion of ADS# represents a pipelined write cycle that
follows a read cycle, the processor does not drive D[63:0] until it
is certain that contention on the data bus will not occur. In this
case, D[63:0] are driven the clock edge after the last expected
BRDY# of the previous cycle is sampled asserted.
As Inputs: During read cycles, the processor samples D[63:0] on
the clock edge on which BRDY# is sampled asserted.
The processor always floats D[63:0] except when they are being
driven during a write cycle as described above. In addition,
D[63:0] are floated off the clock edge that BOFF # is sampled
asserted and off the clock edge that the processor asserts
HLDA in recognition of HOLD.

DP[7:0] (Data Parity)
Pin Attribute
Bidirectional
Pin Location
See “Pin Designations by Functional Grouping” on page 301.
Summary
DP[7:0] are even parity bits for each valid byte of data — as
defined by BE[7:0]#—driven and sampled on the D[63:0] data
bus. Even parity means that the total number of odd (1) bits
within each byte of data and its respective data parity bit is an
even number. DP[7:0] are driven by the processor during write
cycles and sampled by the processor during read cycles.
If the processor detects bad parity on any valid byte of data
during a read cycle, PCHK# is asserted for one clock beginning
the clock edge after BRDY# is sampled asserted. The processor
does not take an internal exception as the result of detecting a
data parity check, and system logic must respond appropriately
to the assertion of this signal.
The eight data parity bits correspond to the eight bytes of the
data bus as follows:
■
DP7: D[63:56]
■
DP3: D[31:24]
■
DP6: D[55:48]
■
DP2: D[23:16]
■
DP5: D[47:40]
■
DP1: D[15:8]
■
DP4: D[39:32]
■
DP0: D[7:0]
For systems that do not support data parity, DP[7:0] should be
connected to VCC3 through pullup resistors.
Driven, Sampled, and
Floated
As Outputs: For single-transfer write cycles, the processor drives
DP[7:0] with valid parity one clock edge after the clock edge on
which ADS# is asserted and DP[7:0] remain in the same state
until the clock edge on which BRDY# is sampled asserted. If the
cycle is a writeback, DP[7:0] are driven one clock edge after the
clock edge on which ADS# is asserted and are subsequently
changed off the clock edge on which each BRDY# assertion of
the burst cycle is sampled.
As Inputs: During read cycles, the processor samples DP[7:0] on
the clock edge on which BRDY# is sampled asserted.

EADS# (External Address Strobe)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
AM-04
Summary
System logic asserts EADS # during a cache inquire cycle to
indicate that the address bus contains a valid address. EADS#
can only be driven after the system logic has taken control of
the address bus by asserting AHOLD or BOFF# or by receiving
HLDA. The processor responds to the sampling of EADS# and
the address bus by driving HIT#, which indicates if the inquired
cache line exists in the processor’s cache, and HITM#, which
indicates if it is in the modified state.
Sampled
If AHOLD or BOFF# is asserted by the system logic in order to
execute a cache inquire cycle, the processor begins sampling
EADS # two clock edges after AHOLD or BOFF # is sampled
asserted. If the system logic asserts HOLD in order to execute a
cache inquire cycle, the processor begins sampling EADS# two
clock edges after the clock edge HLDA is asserted by the
processor.

EWBE# (External Write Buffer Empty)
Pin Attribute

Pin Location
W-03
Summary
The system logic can negate EWBE# to the processor to indicate
that its external write buffers are full and that additional data
cannot be stored at this time. This causes the processor to delay
the following activities until EWBE# is sampled asserted:
■
■
■
■
The commitment of write hit cycles to cache lines in the
modified state or exclusive state in the processor’s cache
The decode and execution of an instruction that follows a
currently-executing serializing instruction
The assertion or negation of SMIACT#
The entering of the Halt state and the Stop Grant state
Negating EWBE# does not prevent the completion of any type
of cycle that is currently in progress.
Sampled
The processor samples EWBE# on each clock edge that BRDY#
is sampled asserted during all memory write cycles (except
writeback cycles), I/O write cycles, and special bus cycles.
If EWBE# is sampled negated, it is sampled on every clock edge
until it is asserted, and then it is ignored until BRDY # is
sampled asserted in the next write cycle or special cycle.
If EFER[3] is 1, then EWBE# is ignored by the processor. For
more information on the EFER settings and EWBE#, see

FERR# (Floating-Point Error)
Pin Attribute

Q-05
Summary
The assertion of FERR # indicates the occurrence of an
unmasked floating-point exception resulting from the
execution of a floating-point instruction. This signal is provided
to allow the system logic to handle this exception in a manner
consistent with IBM-compatible PC/AT systems. See “Handling
Floating-Point Exceptions” on page 213 for a system logic
implementation that supports floating-point exceptions.
The state of the numeric error (NE) bit in CR0 does not affect
the FERR# signal.
The processor is designed so that FERR # does not glitch,
enabling the signal to be used as a clocking source for system
logic.
Driven
The processor asserts FERR # on the instruction boundary of
the next floating-point instruction, MMX instruction, 3DNow!
instruction, or WAIT instruction that occurs following the
f l o a t i ng -po i nt i ns t r u c t i o n t h a t c a u s e d t h e u n m a s ke d
floating-point exception—that is, FERR# is not asserted at the

the assertion of FERR#.
FERR# is negated during the following conditions:

Following the successful execution of the floating-point
instructions FCLEX, FINIT, FSAVE, and FSTENV
Under certain circumstances, following the successful

FLUSH# (Cache Flush)
Pin Attribute

AN-07
Summary
In response to sampling FLUSH# asserted, the processor writes
back any data cache lines that are in the modified state,
invalidates all lines in the instruction and data caches, and then
executes a flush acknowledge special cycle. See Table 23 on
page 132 for the bus definition of special cycles.
In addition, FLUSH # is sampled when RESET is negated to
determine if the processor enters the three-state test mode. If
FLUSH # is 0 during the falling transition of RESET, the
proc esso r e nt ers t he t hree- sta te te st mode ins tea d of
performing the normal RESET functions.
Sampled
FLUSH # is sampled and latched as a falling edge-sensitive
signal. During normal operation (not RESET), FLUSH # is
sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until the next
instruction boundary. If FLUSH# is asserted synchronously, it
can be asserted for a minimum of one clock. If FLUSH # is
asserted asynchronously, it must have been negated for a
minimum of two clocks, followed by an assertion of a minimum
of two clocks.
FLUSH# is also sampled during the falling transition of RESET.
If RESET and FLUSH# are driven synchronously, FLUSH# is
sampled on the clock edge prior to the clock edge on which
RESET is sampled negated. If RESET is driven asynchronously,
the minimum setup and hold time for FLUSH#, relative to the
negation of RESET, is two clocks.

Summary
The processor asserts HIT# during an inquire cycle to indicate
that the cache line is valid within the processor’s instruction or

the modified, exclusive, or shared state.
Driven
HIT # is always driven—except in the three-state test mode —

Pin Attribute
Output
Pin Location
AL-05
Summary
The processor asserts HITM # during an inquire cycle to
indicate that the cache line exists in the processor’s data cache
in the modified state. The processor performs a writeback cycle
as a result of this cache hit. If an inquire cycle hits a cache line
that is currently being written back, the processor asserts
HITM # but does not execute another writeback cycle. The
system logic must not expect the processor to assert ADS# each
time HITM# is asserted.
Driven
HITM# is always driven—except in the three-state test mode—
and, in particular, is driven to represent the result of an inquire
cycle the clock edge after the clock edge on which EADS # is
sampled asserted. If HITM # is negated in response to the
inquire address, it remains negated until the next inquire cycle.
If HITM # is asserted in response to the inquire address, it
remains asserted throughout the writeback cycle and is negated
one clock edge after the last BRDY # of the writeback is
sampled asserted.

HLDA (Hold Acknowledge)
Pin Attribute
Output
Pin Location
AJ-03
Summary
When HOLD is sampled asserted, the processor completes the
current bus cycles, floats the processor bus, and asserts HLDA
in an acknowledgment that these events have been completed.
The processor does not assert HLDA until the completion of a
locked sequence of cycles. While HLDA is asserted, another bus
master can drive cycles on the bus, including inquire cycles to
the processor. The following signals are floated when HLDA is
asserted: A[31:3], ADS #, ADSC #, AP, BE[7:0]#, CACHE #,
D[63:0], D/C #, DP[7:0], LOCK #, M/IO #, PCD, PWT, SCYC, and
W/R#.
The processor is designed so that HLDA does not glitch.
Driven
HLDA is always driven except in the three-state test mode. If a
processor cycle is in progress while HOLD is sampled asserted,
HLDA is asserted one clock edge after the last BRDY # of the
cycle is sampled asserted. If the bus is idle, HLDA is asserted
one clock edge after HOLD is sampled asserted. HLDA is
negated one clock edge after the clock edge on which HOLD is
sampled negated.
The assertion of HLDA is independent of the sampled state of
BOFF#.
The processor floats the bus every clock in which HLDA is
asserted.

IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Exception)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
AA-35
Summary
IGNNE#, in conjunction with the numeric error (NE) bit in CR0,
is used by the system logic to control the effect of an unmasked
floating-point exception on a previous floating-point instruction
during the execution of a floating-point instruction, MMX
instruction, 3DNow! instruction, or the WAIT instruction—
hereafter referred to as the target instruction.
If an unmasked floating-point exception is pending and the
target instruction is considered error-sensitive, then the
relationship between NE and IGNNE# is as follows:
■
■
If NE = 0, then:
• If IGNNE# is sampled asserted, the processor ignores the
floating-point exception and continues with the
execution of the target instruction.
• If IGNNE# is sampled negated, the processor waits until
it samples IGNNE#, INTR, SMI#, NMI, or INIT asserted.
If IGNNE# is sampled asserted while waiting, the
processor ignores the floating-point exception and
continues with the execution of the target instruction.
If INTR, SMI#, NMI, or INIT is sampled asserted while
waiting,
the
processor
handles
its
assertion
appropriately.
If NE = 1, the processor invokes the INT 10h exception
handler.
If an unmasked floating-point exception is pending and the
target instruction is considered error-insensitive, then the
processor ignores the floating-point exception and continues
with the execution of the target instruction.
FERR # is not affected by the state of the NE bit or IGNNE #.
FERR # is always asserted at the instruction boundary of the
target instruction that follows the floating-point instruction
that caused the unmasked floating-point exception.

every clock edge. The system logic can drive the signal either

asynchronously, it must be asserted for a minimum pulse width
of two clocks.
INIT (Initialization)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
AA-33
Summary
The assertion of INIT causes the processor to empty its
pipelines, to initialize most of its internal state, and to branch
to address FFFF_FFF0h—the same instruction execution
starting point used after RESET. Unlike RESET, the processor
preserves the contents of its caches, the floating-point state, the
MMX state, model-specific registers, the CD and NW bits of the
CR0 register, and other specific internal resources.
INIT can be used as an accelerator for 80286 code that requires
a reset to exit from protected mode back to real mode.
Sampled
INIT is sampled and latched as a rising edge-sensitive signal.
INIT is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until
the next instruction boundary. During an I/O write cycle, it must
be sampled asserted a minimum of three clock edges before
BRDY # is sampled asserted if it is to be recognized on the
boundary between the I/O write instruction and the following
instruction.
If INIT is asserted synchronously, it can be asserted for a
minimum of one clock. If it is asserted asynchronously, it must
have been negated for a minimum of two clocks, followed by an
assertion of a minimum of two clocks.

INTR (Maskable Interrupt)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
AD-34
Summary
INTR is the system’s maskable interrupt input to the processor.
When the processor samples and recognizes INTR asserted, the
processor executes a pair of interrupt acknowledge bus cycles
and then jumps to the interrupt service routine specified by the
interrupt number that was returned during the interrupt
acknowledge sequence. The processor only recognizes INTR if
the interrupt flag (IF) in the EFLAGS register equals 1.
Sampled
The processor samples INTR as a level-sensitive input on every
clock edge, but the interrupt request is not recognized until the
next instruction boundary. The system logic can drive INTR
either synchronously or asynchronously. If it is asserted
asynchronously, it must be asserted for a minimum pulse width
of two clocks. In order to be recognized, INTR must remain
asserted until an interrupt acknowledge sequence is complete.

INV (Invalidation Request)
Pin Attribute

U-05
Summary
During an inquire cycle, the state of INV determines whether
an addressed cache line that is found in the processor’s
instruction or data cache transitions to the invalid state or the
shared state.
If INV is sampled asserted during an inquire cycle, the
processor transitions the cache line (if found) to the invalid
state, regardless of its previous state. If INV is sampled negated
during an inquire cycle, the processor transitions the cache line
(if found) to the shared state. In either case, if the cache line is
found in the modified state, the processor writes it back to
memory before changing its state.

W-05
Summary
If KEN # is sampled asserted, it indicates that the address
presented by the processor is cacheable. If KEN # is sampled
asserted and the processor intends to perform a cache-line fill
(signified by the assertion of CACHE#), the processor executes
a 32-byte burst read cycle and expects to sample BRDY #
asserted a total of four times. If KEN # is sampled negated
during a read cycle, a single-transfer cycle is executed and the
processor does not cache the data. For write cycles, CACHE# is
asserted to indicate the current bus cycle is a modified
cache-line writeback. KEN# is ignored during writebacks.
If PCD is asserted during a bus cycle, the processor does not
cache any data read during that cycle, regardless of the state of
KEN#. See “PCD (Page Cache Disable)” on page 115 for more
details.
If the processor has sampled the state of KEN# during a cycle,
and that cycle is aborted due to the sampling of BOFF #
asserted, the system logic must ensure that KEN# is sampled in
the same state when the processor restarts the aborted cycle.

KEN# is sampled on the clock edge on which the first BRDY# or
NA # of a read cycle is sampled asserted. If the read cycle is a

LOCK# (Bus Lock)
Pin Attribute

Pin Location
AH-04
Summary
The processor asserts LOCK# during a sequence of bus cycles to
ensure that the cycles are completed without allowing other bus
masters to intervene. Locked operations consist of two to five
bus cycles. LOCK# is asserted during the following operations:
■
■
■
■
■
An interrupt acknowledge sequence
Descriptor Table accesses
Page Directory and Page Table accesses
XCHG instruction
An instruction with an allowable LOCK prefix
In order to ensure that locked operations appear on the bus and
are visible to the entire system, any data operands addressed
during a locked cycle that reside in the processor’s cache are
flushed and invalidated from the cache prior to the locked
operation. If the cache line is in the modified state, it is written
back and invalidated prior to the locked operation. Likewise,
any data read during a locked operation is not cached.
The processor is designed so that LOCK# does not glitch.
Driven and Floated
During a locked cycle, LOCK# is asserted off the same clock
edge on which ADS# is asserted and remains asserted until the
last BRDY# of the last bus cycle is sampled asserted. The
processor negates LOCK# for at least one clock between
consecutive sequences of locked operations to allow the system
logic to arbitrate for the bus.
LOCK# is floated off the clock edge on which BOFF# is sampled
asserted and off the clock edge on which the processor asserts
HLDA in response to HOLD. When LOCK# is floated due to
BOFF# sampled asserted, the system logic is responsible for

Summary
The processor drives M/IO# during a bus cycle to indicate
whether it is addressing the memory or I/O space. If M/IO# = 1,
the processor is addressing memory or a memory-mapped I/O
port as the result of an instruction fetch or an instruction that
loads or stores data. If M/IO# = 0, the processor is addressing an
I/O port during the execution of an I/O instruction. In addition,
M/IO# is used to define other bus cycles, including interrupt
acknowledge and special cycles. See Table 23 on page 132 for
more details.
Driven and Floated
M/IO# is driven off the same clock edge as ADS# and remains in
the same state until the clock edge on which NA# or the last
expected BRDY# of the cycle is sampled asserted. M/IO# is
driven during memory cycles, I/O cycles, special bus cycles, and

NA# (Next Address)

Input

Y-05
Summary
System logic asserts NA# to indicate to the processor that it is
ready to accept another bus cycle pipelined into the previous
bus cycle. ADS#, along with address and status signals, can be
asserted as early as one clock edge after NA# is sampled
asserted if the processor is prepared to start a new cycle.
Because the processor allows a maximum of two cycles to be in
progress at a time, the assertion of NA# is sampled while two
cycles are in progress, but ADS# is not asserted until the
completion of the first cycle.
Sampled
NA# is sampled every clock edge during bus cycles, starting one
clock edge after the clock edge that negates ADS#, until the last
expected BRDY# of the last executed cycle is sampled asserted
(with the exception of the clock edge after the clock edge that
negates the ADS# for a second pending cycle). Because the
processor latches NA# when sampled, the system logic only
needs to assert NA# for one clock.

Summary
When NMI is sampled asserted, the processor jumps to the

Unlike the INTR signal, software cannot mask the effect of NMI
if it is sampled asserted by the processor. However, NMI is
temporarily masked upon entering system management mode
(SMM). In addition, an interrupt acknowledge cycle is not
executed because the interrupt number is predefined.
If NMI is sampled asserted while the processor is executing the
interrupt service routine for a previous NMI, the subsequent
NMI remains pending until the completion of the execution of
the IRET instruction at the end of the interrupt service routine.

System logic can use PCD to control external caching. If PCD is

Summary
The processor asserts PCHK# during read cycles if it detects an
even parity error on one or more valid bytes of D[63:0] during a
read cycle. (Even parity means that the total number of odd (1)
bits within each byte of data and its respective data parity bit is
even.) The processor checks data parity for the data bytes that
are valid, as defined by BE[7:0]#, the byte enables.
PCHK# is always driven but is only asserted for memory and I/O
re a d b u s cy c l es a n d t he se c o n d cy c l e of a n i n t e r ru p t
acknowledge sequence. PCHK# is not driven during any type of
write cycles or special bus cycles. The processor does not take
an internal exception as the result of detecting a data parity
error, and system logic must respond appropriately to the
assertion of this signal.
The processor is designed so that PCHK# does not glitch,
enabling the signal to be used as a clocking source for system
logic.

PCHK# is always driven except in the three-state test mode. For

Pin Attribute
Output
Pin Location
AL-03
Summary
The processor drives PWT to indicate the operating system’s
specification of the writeback state or writethrough state for
the page being addressed. PWT, together with WB/WT#,
specifies the data cache-line state during cacheable read misses
and write hits to shared cache lines. See “WB/WT# (Writeback
or Writethrough)” on page 129 for more details.
The state of PWT depends upon the processor’s operating mode
and the state of certain bits in its control registers and TLB as
follows:
■
■
In real mode, or in protected and virtual-8086 modes while
paging is disabled (PG bit in CR0 is 0):
PWT output = 0 (writeback state)
In protected and virtual-8086 modes while paging is enabled
(PG bit in CR0 is 1):
• For accesses to I/O space, page directory entries, and
other non-paged accesses:
PWT output = PWT bit in CR3
•
•
Driven and Floated
For accesses to 4-Kbyte page table entries or 4-Mbyte
pages:
PWT output = PWT bit in page directory entry
For accesses to 4-Kbyte pages:
PWT output = PWT bit in page table entry
PWT is driven off the same clock edge as ADS# and remains in
the same state until the clock edge on which NA# or the last
expected BRDY# of the cycle is sampled asserted.
PWT is floated off the clock edge on which BOFF# is sampled
asserted and off the clock edge on which the processor asserts
HLDA in response to HOLD.

RESET (Reset)
Pin Attribute
Input
Pin Location
AK-20
Summary
When the processor samples RESET asserted, it immediately
flushes and initializes all internal resources and its internal
state including its pipelines and caches, the floating-point
state, the MMX state, the 3DNow! state, and all registers, and
then the processor jumps to address FFFF_FFF0h to start
instruction execution.
The FLUSH# signal is sampled during the falling transition of
RESET to invoke the three-state test mode.
Sampled
RESET is sampled as a level-sensitive input on every clock
edge. System logic can drive the signal either synchronously or
asynchronously.
During the initial power-on reset of the processor, RESET must
remain asserted for a minimum of 1.0 ms after CLK and VCC
reach specification before it is negated.
During a warm reset, while CLK and V CC are within their
specification, RESET must remain asserted for a minimum of
15 clocks prior to its negation.

RSVD (Reserved)
Pin Attribute
Not Applicable
Pin Location
See “Pin Designations by Functional Grouping” on page 301.
Summary
Reserved signals are a special class of pins that can be treated
in one of the following ways:
■
■
■
As no-connect (NC) pins, in which case these pins are left
unconnected
As pins connected to the system logic as defined by the
industry-standard Pentium® interface (Socket 7)
Any combination of NC and Socket 7 pins
In any case, if the RSVD pins are treated accordingly, the
normal operation of the AMD-K6-2E processor is not adversely
affected in any manner.

Any 1-byte transfers
2-byte and 4-byte transfers that lie within 4-byte address
boundaries
8-byte transfers that lie within 8-byte address boundaries
SCYC is asserted off the same clock edge as ADS#, and negated
off the clock edge on which NA# or the last expected BRDY# of
the entire locked sequence is sampled asserted. SCYC is only
valid during locked memory cycles.
SCYC is floated off the clock edge on which BOFF# is sampled
asserted and off the clock edge on which the processor asserts

SMI# (System Management Interrupt)
Pin Attribute
Input, Internal Pullup
Pin Location
AB-34
Summary
The assertion of SMI# causes the processor to enter system
management mode (SMM). Upon recognizing SMI#, the
processor performs the following actions, in the order shown:
1. Flushes its instruction pipelines
2. Completes all pending and in-progress bus cycles
3. Acknowledges the interrupt by asserting SMIACT# after
sampling EWBE# asserted (if EWBE# is masked off, then
SMIACT# is not affected by EWBE#)
4. Saves the internal processor state in SMM memory
5. Disables interrupts by clearing the interrupt flag (IF) in
EFLAGS and disables NMI interrupts
6. Jumps to the entry point of the SMM service routine at the
SMM base physical address which defaults to 0003_8000h in
SMM memory
See “System Management Mode (SMM)” on page 217 for more
details regarding SMM.
Sampled
SMI# is sampled and latched as a falling edge-sensitive signal.
SMI# is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until
the next instruction boundary. If SMI# is to be recognized on
the instruction boundary associated with a BRDY#, it must be
sampled asserted a minimum of three clock edges before the
BRDY# is sampled asserted. If it is asserted synchronously, it
can be asserted for a minimum of one clock. If it is asserted
asynchronously, it must have been negated for a minimum of
two clocks followed by an assertion of a minimum of two clocks.
A second assertion of SMI# while in SMM is latched but is not
recognized until the SMM service routine is exited.

Summary
The processor acknowledges the assertion of SMI# with the
assertion of SMIACT# to indicate that the processor has
entered system management mode (SMM). The system logic
can use SMIACT# to enable SMM memory. See “SMI# (System
Management Interrupt)” on page 121 for more details.
See “System Management Mode (SMM)” on page 217 for more
details regarding SMM.
Driven
The processor asserts SMIACT# after the last BRDY# of the last
pending bus cycle is sampled asserted (including all pending
write cycles) and after EWBE# is sampled asserted (if EWBE#
is masked off, then SMIACT# is not affected by EWBE#).
SMIACT# remains asserted until after the last BRDY# of the
last pending bus cycle associated with exiting SMM is sampled
asserted.
SMIACT# remains asserted during any flush, internal snoop, or
writeback cycle due to an inquire cycle.

STPCLK# (Stop Clock)
Pin Attribute
Input, Internal Pullup
Pin Location
V-34
Summary
The assertion of STPCLK# causes the processor to enter the
Stop Grant state, during which the processor’s internal clock is
stopped. From the Stop Grant state, the processor can
subsequently transition to the Stop Clock state, in which the
bus clock CLK is stopped. Upon recognizing STPCLK#, the
processor performs the following actions, in the order shown:
1. Flushes its instruction pipelines
2. Completes all pending and in-progress bus cycles
3. Acknowledges the STPCLK# assertion by executing a Stop
Grant special bus cycle (see Table 23 on page 132)
4. Stops its internal clock after BRDY# of the Stop Grant
special bus cycle is sampled asserted and after EWBE# is
sampled asserted (if EWBE# is masked off, then entry into
the Stop Grant state is not affected by EWBE#)
5. Enters the Stop Clock state if the system logic stops the bus
clock CLK (optional)
See “Clock Control States” on page 247 for more details
regarding clock control.
Sampled
STPCLK# is sampled as a level-sensitive input on every clock
edge but is not recognized until the next instruction boundary.
System logic can drive the signal either synchronously or
asynchronously. If it is asserted asynchronously, it must be
asserted for a minimum pulse width of two clocks.
STPCLK# must remain asserted until recognized, which is
indicated by the completion of the Stop Grant special cycle.

Summary
VCC2DET is internally tied to VSS (logic level 0) to indicate to
the system logic that it must supply the specified dual-voltage
requirements to the VCC2 and VCC3 pins. The VCC2 pins supply
voltage to the processor core, independent of the voltage
supplied to the I/O buffers on the V CC3 pins. Upon sampling
VCC2DET Low, system logic should sample VCC2H/L# to
identify core voltage requirements.
Driven
VCC2DET always equals 0 and is never floated—even during
the three-state test mode.

Pin Location
AN-05
Summary
VCC2H/L# is internally tied to VSS (logic level 0) to indicate to
the system logic that it must supply the specified processor core
voltage to the VCC2 pins. The VCC2 pins supply voltage to the
processor core, independent of the voltage supplied to the I/O
buffers on the VCC3 pins.
Upon sampling VCC2DET Low to identify dual-voltage
processor requirements, system logic should sample VCC2H/L#
to identify the core voltage requirements for 2.9 V and 3.2 V
products (High) or 2.4 V, 2.2 V, and 1.9 V products (Low).
Driven
VCC2H/L# always equals 0 and is never floated for 2.4 V, 2.2 V,
and 1.9 V products—even during the three-state test mode. To
ensure proper operation for 2.9 V and 3.2 V products, system
logic that samples VCC2H/L# should design a weak pullup
resistor for this signal.

WB/WT# (Writeback or Writethrough)

Summary
WB/WT#, together with PWT, specifies the data cache-line state
during cacheable read misses and write hits to shared cache
lines.
■
■
Sampled
Chapter 5
If WB/WT# = 0 or PWT = 1 during a cacheable read miss or
write hit to a shared cache line, the accessed line is cached
in the shared state. This is referred to as the writethrough
state, because all write cycles to this cache line are driven
externally on the bus.
If WB/WT# = 1 and PWT = 0 during a cacheable read miss or
a write hit to a shared cache line, the accessed line is cached
in the exclusive state. Subsequent write hits to the same line
cause its state to transition from exclusive to modified. This
is referred to as the writeback state, because the data cache
can contain modified cache lines that are subject to be
written back—referred to as a writeback cycle—as the result
of an inquire cycle, an internal snoop, a flush operation, or
the WBINVD instruction.
WB/WT# is sampled on the clock edge on which the first BRDY#
or NA# of a bus cycle is sampled asserted. If the cycle is a burst
read, WB/WT# is ignored during the last three assertions of
BRDY #. WB /WT# is sampled during mem ory re ad and
non-writeback write cycles and is ignored during all other types
of cycles.

Bus Cycles
The following sections describe and illustrate the timing and
relationship of bus signals during various types of bus cycles. A
representative set of bus cycles is illustrated.
6.1
Timing Diagrams
The timing diagrams illustrate the signals on the external local
bus as a function of time, as measured by the bus clock (CLK).
Bus Clock (CLK)
Throughout this chapter, the term clock refers to a single
bus-clock cycle. A clock extends from one rising CLK edge to
the next rising CLK edge. The processor samples and drives
most signals relative to the rising edge of CLK. The exceptions
to this rule include the following:
■
■
■
Waveform
Definitions
BF[2:0]—Sampled on the falling edge of RESET
FLUSH#—Sampled on the falling edge of RESET, also
sampled on the rising edge of CLK
All inputs and outputs are sampled relative to TCK in
boundary-scan test mode. Inputs are sampled on the rising
edge of TCK, outputs are driven off of the falling edge of
TCK.
For each signal in the timing diagrams, the High level
represents 1, the Low level represents 0, and the Middle level
represents the floating (high-impedance) state.
When both the High and Low levels are shown, the meaning
depends on the signal:
■
■
A single signal indicates ‘don’t care’.
In the case of bus activity, if both High and Low levels are
shown, it indicates that the processor, alternate master, or
system logic is driving a value, but this value may or may not
be valid. (For example, the value on the address bus is valid
only during the assertion of ADS#, but addresses are also
driven on the bus at other times.)
Figure 50 defines the different waveform representations.

Active High Signals
For all active High signals, the term asserted means the signal is
in the High-voltage state and the term negated means the signal
is in the Low-voltage state.
Active Low Signals
For all active Low signals, the term asserted means the signal is
in the Low-voltage state and the term negated means the signal
is in the High-voltage state.

In addition, the processor is forced into this state when the
system logic asserts RESET or BOFF#. The transition to this
state occurs on the clock edge on which RESET or BOFF# is
sampled asserted.
Address
In this state, the processor drives ADS# to indicate the
beginning of a new bus cycle by validating the address and
control signals. The processor remains in this state for one clock
and unconditionally enters the Data state on the next clock
edge.
Data
In the Data state, the processor drives the data bus during a
write cycle or expects data to be returned during a read cycle.
The processor remains in this state until either NA# or the last
BRDY# is sampled asserted. If the last BRDY# is sampled
asserted or both the last BRDY# and NA# are sampled asserted
on the same clock edge, the processor enters the Idle state. If
NA# is sampled asserted first, the processor enters the
Data-NA# Requested state.
Data-NA# Requested
If the processor samples NA# asserted while in the Data state
and the current bus cycle is not completed (the last BRDY# is
not sampled asserted), it enters the Data-NA# Requested state.
The processor remains in this state until either the last BRDY#
is sampled asserted or an internal pending cycle is requested. If
the last BRDY# is sampled asserted before the processor drives
a new bus cycle, the processor enters the Idle state (no internal
pending cycle is requested) or the Address state (processor has
a internal pending cycle).
Pipeline Address
In this state, the processor drives ADS# to indicate the
beginning of a new bus cycle by validating the address and
control signals. In this state, the processor is still waiting for the
current bus cycle to be completed (until the last BRDY# is
136

sampled asserted). If the last BRDY# is not sampled asserted,
the processor enters the Pipeline Data state.
If the processor samples the last BRDY# asserted in this state, it
determines if a bus transition is required between the current
bus cycle and the pipelined bus cycle. A bus transition is
required when the data bus direction changes between bus
cycles, such as a memory write cycle followed by a memory read
cycle. If a bus transition is required, the processor enters the
Transition state for one clock to prevent data bus contention. If
a bus transition is not required, the processor enters the Data
state.
The processor does not transition to the Data-NA# Requested
state from the Pipeline Address state because the processor
does not begin sampling NA# until it has exited the Pipeline
Address state.
Pipeline Data
Two bus cycles are executing concurrently in this state. The
processor cannot issue any additional bus cycles until the
current bus cycle is completed. The processor drives the data
bus during write cycles or expects data to be returned during
read cycles for the current bus cycle until the last BRDY# of the
current bus cycle is sampled asserted.
If the processor samples the last BRDY# asserted in this state, it
determines if a bus transition is required between the current
bus cycle and the pipelined bus cycle. If the bus transition is
required, the processor enters the Transition state for one clock
to prevent data bus contention. If a bus transition is not
required, the processor enters the Data state (NA# was not
sampled asserted) or the Data-NA# Requested state (NA# was
sampled asserted).
Transition
Chapter 6
The processor enters the Transition state for one clock during
data bus transitions and enters the Data state on the next clock
edge if NA# is not sampled asserted. The sole purpose of this
state is to avoid bus contention caused by bus transitions during
pipeline operation.

Memory Reads and Writes
The AMD-K6-2E processor performs single or burst memory bus
cycles.
■
■
■
Single-Transfer
Memory Read and
Write
The single-transfer memory bus cycle transfers 1, 2, 4, or 8
bytes and requires a minimum of two clocks.
Misaligned instructions or operands result in a split cycle,
which requires multiple transactions on the bus.
A burst cycle consists of four back-to-back 8-byte (64-bit)
transfers on the data bus.
Figure 52 on page 139 shows a single-transfer read from memory,
followed by two single-transfer writes to memory. For the
memory read cycle, the processor asserts ADS# for one clock to
validate the bus cycle and also drives A[31:3], BE[7:0]#, D/C#,
W/R#, and M/IO# to the bus. The processor then waits for the
system logic to return the data on D[63:0] (with DP[7:0] for
parity checking) and assert BRDY#. The processor samples
BRDY# on every clock edge starting with the clock edge after
the clock edge that negates ADS#. See “BRDY# (Burst Ready)”
on page 95.
During the read cycle, the processor drives PCD, PWT, and
CACHE# to indicate its caching and cache-coherency intent for
the access. The system logic returns KEN# and WB/WT# to
either confirm or change this intent. If the processor asserts
PCD and negates CACHE#, the accesses are noncacheable, even
though the system logic asserts KEN# during the BRDY# to
indicate its support for cacheability. The processor (which
drives CACHE#) and the system logic (which drives KEN#) must
agree in order for an access to be cacheable.
The processor can drive another cycle (in this example, a write
cycle) by asserting ADS# off the next clock edge after BRDY# is
sampled asserted. Therefore, an idle clock is guaranteed
between any two bus cycles. The processor drives D[63:0] with
valid data one clock edge after the clock edge on which ADS# is
asserted. To minimize processor idle times, the system logic
stores the address and data in write buffers, returns BRDY#, and
performs the store to memory later. If the processor samples
EWBE# negated during a write cycle, it suspends certain
activities until EWBE# is sampled asserted. See “EWBE#
(External Write Buffer Empty)” on page 102. In Figure 52, the

22529B/0—January 2000
Figure 53 on page 141 shows a misaligned (split) memory read
followed by a misaligned memory write. Any cycle that is not
aligned as defined in “SCYC (Split Cycle)” on page 120 is
considered misaligned. When the processor encounters a
misaligned access, it determines the appropriate pair of bus
cycles — each with its own ADS# and BRDY# — required to
complete the access.
The AMD-K6-2E processor performs misaligned memory reads
and memory writes using least-significant bytes (LSBs) first
followed by most-significant bytes (MSBs). Table 24 shows the
order. In the first memory read cycle in Figure 53, the processor
reads the least-significant bytes. Immediately after the
processor samples BRDY# asserted, it drives the second bus
cycle to read the most-significant bytes to complete the
misaligned transfer.

Figure 54 on page 143 shows normal burst read cycles and a
pipelined burst read cycle. The AMD-K6-2E processor drives
CACHE# and ADS# together to specify that the current bus
cycle is a burst cycle. If the processor samples KEN# asserted
with the first BRDY#, it performs burst transfers. During the
burst transfers, the system logic must ignore BE[7:0]# and must
return all eight bytes beginning at the starting address the
processor asserts on A[31:3]. Depending on the starting
address, the system logic must determine the successive
quadword addresses (A[4:3]) for each transfer in a burst, as
shown in Table 25. The processor expects the second, third, and
fourth quadwords to occur in the sequences shown in Table 25.

In Figure 54, the processor drives CACHE# throughout all burst
read cycles. In the first burst read cycle, the processor drives
ADS# and CACHE#, then samples BRDY# on every clock edge
starting with the clock edge after the clock edge that negates
ADS#. The processor samples KEN# asserted on the clock edge
on which the first BRDY# is sampled asserted, executes a
32-byte burst read cycle, and expects a total of four BRDY#
signals. An ideal no-wait state access is shown in Figure 54,
whereas most system logic solutions add wait states between
the transfers.
The second burst read cycle illustrates a similar sequence, but
the processor samples NA# asserted on the same clock edge
that the first BRDY# is sampled asserted. NA# assertion
indicates the system logic is requesting the processor to output
the next address early (also known as a pipeline transfer
request). Without waiting for the current cycle to complete, the
processor drives ADS# and related signals for the next burst
cycle. Pipelining can reduce processor cycle-to-cycle idle times.

Burst Writeback
22529B/0—January 2000
Figure 55 on page 145 shows a burst read followed by a
writeback transaction. The AMD-K6-2E processor initiates
writebacks under the following conditions:
■
■
■
■
Replacement—If a cache-line fill is initiated for a cache line
currently filled with valid entries, the processor selects a
line for replacement based on a least-recently-used (LRU)
algorithm
for
the
instruction
cache,
and
a
least-recently-allocated (LRA) algorithm for the data cache.
Before a replacement is made to an L1 data cache line that is
in the Modified state, the modified line is scheduled to be
written back to memory.
Internal Snoop—The processor snoops its instruction cache
during read or write misses to its data cache, and it snoops
its data cache during read misses to its instruction cache.
This snooping is performed to determine whether the same
address is stored in both caches, a situation that implies the
occurrence of self-modifying code. If a snoop hits a data
cache line in the Modified state, the line is written back to
memory before being invalidated.
WBINVD Instruction—When the processor executes a
WBINVD instruction, it writes back all modified lines in the
data cache and then invalidates all lines in both caches.
Cache Flush—When the processor samples FLUSH#
asserted, it executes a flush acknowledge special cycle and
writes back all modified lines in the data cache and then
invalidates all lines in both caches.
The processor drives writeback cycles during inquire or cache
flush cycles. The writeback shown in Figure 55 is caused by a
cache-line replacement. The processor completes the burst read
cycle that fills the cache line. Immediately following the burst
read cycle is the burst writeback cycle that represents the
modified line to be written back to memory. D[63:0] are driven
one clock edge after the clock edge on which ADS# is asserted
and are subsequently changed off the clock edge on which each
of the four BRDY# signals of the burst cycle are sampled
asserted.

I/O Read and Write
Basic I/O Read and
Write
The processor accesses I/O when it executes an I/O instruction
(for example, IN or OUT). Figure 56 shows an I/O read followed
by an I/O write. The processor drives M/IO# Low and D/C# High
during I/O cycles. In this example, the first cycle shows a single
wait state I/O read cycle. It follows the same sequence as a
single-transfer memory read cycle. The processor drives ADS#
to initiate the bus cycle, then it samples BRDY# on every clock
edge starting with the clock edge after the clock edge that
negates ADS#. The system logic must return BRDY# to
complete the cycle. When the processor samples BRDY#
asserted, it can assert ADS# for the next cycle off the next clock
edge. (In this example, an I/O write cycle.)
The I/O write cycle is similar to a memory write cycle, but the
processor drives M/IO# low during an I/O write cycle. The
processor asserts ADS# to initiate the bus cycle. The processor
drives D[63:0] with valid data one clock edge after the clock
edge on which ADS# is asserted. The system logic must assert
BRDY# when the data is properly stored to the I/O destination.
The processor samples BRDY# on every clock edge starting with
the clock edge after the clock edge that negates ADS#. In this
example, two wait states are inserted while the processor waits
for BRDY# to be asserted.

Inquire and Bus Arbitration Cycles
The AMD-K6-2E processor provides built-in level-one data and
instruction caches. Each cache is 32 Kbytes and two-way
set-associative. The system logic or other bus master devices
can initiate an inquire cycle to maintain cache/memory
coherency. In response to the inquire cycle, the processor
compares the inquire address with its cache tag addresses in
both caches, and, if necessary, updates the MESI state of the
cache line and performs writebacks to memory.
An inquire cycle can be initiated by asserting AHOLD, BOFF#,
or HOLD. AHOLD is exclusively used to support inquire cycles.
During AHOLD-initiated inquire cycles, the processor only
floats the address bus. BOFF# provides the fastest access to the
bus because it aborts any processor cycle that is in-progress,
whereas AHOLD and HOLD both permit an in-progress bus
cycle to complete. During HOLD-initiated and BOFF#-initiated
inquire cycles, the processor floats all of its bus-driving signals.
Hold and Hold
Acknowledge Cycle
The system logic or another bus device can assert HOLD to
initiate an inquire cycle or to gain full control of the bus. When
the A MD -K 6-2E p rocess or sam p l es H OL D as sert ed, i t
completes any in-progress bus cycle and asserts HLDA to

cycle is sampled asserted. The system logic can assert HOLD for
as long as it needs to utilize the bus. The processor samples

22529B/0—January 2000
Figure 59 on page 151 shows a HOLD-initiated inquire cycle. In
this example, the processor samples HOLD asserted during the
burst memory read cycle. The processor completes the current
cycle (until the last expected BRDY# is sampled asserted),
asserts HLDA, and floats its outputs as described on “Hold and
Hold Acknowledge Cycle” on page 148.
The system logic drives an inquire cycle within the hold
acknowledge cycle. It asserts EADS#, which validates the
inquire address on A[31:5]. If EADS# is sampled asserted
before HOLD is sampled negated, the processor recognizes it as
a valid inquire cycle.
In Figure 59, the processor asserts HIT# and negates HITM# on
the clock edge after the clock edge on which EADS# is sampled
asserted, indicating the current inquire cycle hit a shared or
exclusive cache line. (Shared and exclusive cache lines have not
been modified and do not need to be written back.) During an
inquire cycle, the processor samples INV to determine whether
the addressed cache line found in the processor’s instruction or
data cache transitions to the Invalid state or the Shared state.
In this example, the processor samples INV asserted with
EADS#, which invalidates the cache line.
The system logic can negate HOLD off the same clock edge on
which EADS# is sampled asserted. The processor continues
driving HIT# in the same state until the next inquire cycle.
HITM# is not asserted unless HIT# is asserted.

Figure 60 on page 153 shows the same sequence as Figure 59,
but in Figure 60, the inquire cycle hits a modified line and the
processor asserts both HIT# and HITM#. In this example, the
processor performs a writeback cycle immediately after the
inquire cycle. It updates the modified cache line to the external
memory (normally, external cache or DRAM). The processor
uses the address (A[31:5]) that was latched during the inquire
cycle to perform the writeback cycle. The processor asserts
HITM# throughout the writeback cycle and negates HITM# one
clock edge after the last expected BRDY# of the writeback is
sampled asserted.
When the processor samples EADS# during the inquire cycle, it
also samples INV to determine the cache line MESI state after
the inquire cycle. If INV is sampled asserted during an inquire
cycle, the processor transitions the line (if found) to the Invalid
stat e, regardless of its previous sta te. The cache line
invalidation operation is not visible on the bus. If INV is
sampled negated during an inquire cycle, the processor
transitions the line (if found) to the Shared state. In Figure 60
the processor samples INV asserted during the inquire cycle.
In a HOLD-initiated inquire cycle, the system logic can negate
HOLD off the same clock edge on which EADS# is sampled
asserted. The processor drives HIT# and HITM# on the clock
edge after the clock edge on which EADS# is sampled asserted.

AHOLD-Initiated
Inquire Miss
22529B/0—January 2000
AHOLD can be asserted by the system to initiate one or more
inquire cycles. To allow the system to drive the address bus
during an inquire cycle, the processor floats A[31:3] and AP off
the clock edge on which AHOLD is sampled asserted. The data
bus and all other control and status signals remain under the
control of the processor and are not floated. This functionality
allows a bus cycle in progress when AHOLD is sampled asserted
to continue to completion. The processor resumes driving the
address bus off the clock edge on which AHOLD is sampled
negated.
In Figure 61 on page 155, the processor samples AHOLD
asserted during the memory burst read cycle, and it floats the
address bus off the same clock edge on which it samples AHOLD
asserted. While the processor still controls the bus, it completes
the current cycle until the last expected BRDY# is sampled
asserted. The system logic drives EADS# with an inquire
address on A[31:5] during an inquire cycle. The processor
samples EADS# asserted and compares the inquire address to
its tag address in both the instruction and data caches. In Figure
61, the inquire address misses the tag address in the processor
(both HIT# and HITM# are negated). Therefore, the processor
proceeds to the next cycle when it samples AHOLD negated.
(The processor can drive a new cycle by asserting ADS# off the
same clock edge that it samples AHOLD negated.)
For an AHOLD-initiated inquire cycle to be recognized, the
processor must sample AHOLD asserted for at least two
consecutive clocks before it samples EADS# asserted. If the
processor detects an address parity error during an inquire
cycle, APCHK# is asserted for one clock. The system logic must
respond appropriately to the assertion of this signal.

In Figure 62, the processor asserts HIT# and negates HITM# off

shared or exclusive line. (HIT# is driven in the same state until
the next inquire cycle.) The processor samples INV asserted

state regardless of its previous state.
During an AHOLD-initiated inquire cycle, the processor
samples AHOLD on every clock edge until it is negated. In
Figure 62, the processor asserts ADS# off the same clock on
which AHOLD is sampled negated. If the inquire cycle hits a

it drives a new bus cycle. The next section describes the

clock edge after the clock edge that it samples EADS# asserted.
This condition indicates that the cache line exists in the
processor’s data cache in the Modified state.
If the inquire cycle hits a modified line, the processor performs
a writeback cycle immediately after the inquire cycle to update
the modified cache line to shared memory (normally external
cache or DRAM). In Figure 63, the system logic holds AHOLD
asserted throughout the inquire cycle and the processor
writeback cycle. In this case, the processor is not driving the
address bus during the writeback cycle because AHOLD is
sampled asserted. The system logic writes the data to memory
by using its latched copy of the inquire cycle address. If the
processor samples AHOLD negated before it performs the
writeback cycle, it drives the writeback cycle by using the
address (A[31:5]) that it latched during the inquire cycle.
If INV is sampled asserted during an inquire cycle, the
processor transitions the line (if found) to the Invalid state,
regardless of its previous state (the cache invalidation
operation is not visible on the bus). If INV is sampled negated
during an inquire cycle, the processor transitions the line (if
found) to the Shared state. In either case, if the line is found in
the Modified state, the processor writes it back to memory
before changing its state. Figure 63 shows that the processor
samples INV asserted during the inquire cycle and invalidates
the cache line after the inquire cycle.

AHOLD Restriction
When the system logic drives an AHOLD-initiated inquire
cycle, it must assert AHOLD for at least two clocks before it
asserts EADS#. This requirement guarantees the processor
recognizes and responds to the inquire cycle properly. The
processor’s 32 address bus drivers turn on almost immediately
after AHOLD is sampled negated. If the processor switches the
data bus (D[63:0] and DP[7:0]) during a write cycle off the same
clock edge that switches the address bus (A[31:3] and AP), the
processor switches 102 drivers simultaneously, which can lead
to ground-bounce spikes. Therefore, before negating AHOLD,
the following restrictions must be observed by the system logic:
■
■
■
160
22529B/0—January 2000
When the system logic negates AHOLD during a write cycle,
it must ensure that AHOLD is not sampled negated on the
clock edge on which BRDY# is sampled asserted (See Figure
64 on page 161).
When the system logic negates AHOLD during a writeback
cycle, it must ensure that AHOLD is not sampled negated on
the clock edge on which ADS# is negated (See Figure 64).
When a write cycle is pipelined into a read cycle, AHOLD
must not be sampled negated on the clock edge after the
clock edge on which the last BRDY# of the read cycle is
sampled asserted. This avoids the processor simultaneously
driving the data bus (for the pending write cycle) and the
address bus off this same clock edge.

Bus Backoff (BOFF#)
22529B/0—January 2000
BOFF# provides the fastest response among bus-hold inputs.
Either the system logic or another bus master can assert BOFF#
to gain control of the bus immediately. BOFF# is also used to
resolve potential deadlock problems that arise as a result of
inquire cycles. The processor samples BOFF# on every clock
e d g e . I f B O F F # i s s a m p l e d a s s e r t e d , t h e p ro c e s s o r
unconditionally aborts any cycles in progress and transitions to
a Bus Hold state. (See “BOFF# (Backoff)” on page 94.) Figure
65 on page 163 shows a read cycle that is aborted when the
processor samples BOFF# asserted even though BRDY# is
sampled asserted on the same clock edge. The read cycle is
restarted after BOFF# is sampled negated (KEN# must be in
the same state during the restarted cycle as its state during the
aborted cycle).
During a BOFF#-initiated inquire cycle that hits a shared or
exclusive line, the processor samples BOFF# negated and
restarts any bus cycle that was aborted when BOFF# was
asserted. If a BOFF#-initiated inquire cycle hits a modified line,
the processor performs a writeback cycle before it restarts the
aborted cycle.
If the processor samples BOFF# asserted on the same clock
edge that it asserts ADS#, ADS# is floated but the system logic
may erroneously interpret ADS# as asserted. In this case, the
system logic must properly interpret the state of ADS# when
BOFF# is negated.

Locked Cycles
22529B/0—January 2000
The processor asserts LOCK# during a sequence of bus cycles to
ensure the cycles are completed without allowing other bus
masters to intervene. Locked operations can consist of two to
five cycles. LOCK# is asserted during the following operations:
■
■
■
■
■
An interrupt acknowledge sequence
Descriptor Table accesses
Page Directory and Page Table accesses
XCHG instruction
An instruction with an allowable LOCK prefix
In order to ensure that locked operations appear on the bus and
are visible to the entire system, any data operands addressed
during a locked cycle that reside in the processor’s cache are
flushed and invalidated from the cache prior to the locked
operation. If the cache line is in the Modified state, it is written
back and invalidated prior to the locked operation. Likewise,
any data read during a locked operation is not cached. The
processor negates LOCK# for at least one clock between
consecutive sequences of locked operations to allow the system
logic to arbitrate for the bus.
The processor asserts SCYC during misaligned locked transfers
on the D[63:0] data bus. The processor generates additional bus
cycles to complete the transfer of misaligned data.
Basic Locked
Operation

Figure 66 on page 165 shows a pair of read-write bus cycles. It
represents a typical read-modify-write locked operation. The
processor asserts LOCK# off the same clock edge that it asserts
ADS# of the first bus cycle in the locked operation and holds it
asserted until the last expected BRDY# of the last bus cycle in
the locked operation is sampled asserted. (The processor
negates LOCK# off of the same clock edge.)

22529B/0—January 2000
Figure 67 on page 167 shows BOFF# asserted within a locked
read-write pair of bus cycles. In this example, the processor
asserts LOCK# with ADS# to drive a locked memory read cycle
followed by a locked memory write cycle. During the locked
memory write cycle in this example, the processor samples
BOFF# asserted. The processor immediately aborts the locked
memory write cycle and floats all its bus-driving signals,
including LOCK#. The system logic or another bus master can
initiate an inquire cycle or drive a new bus cycle one clock edge
after the clock edge on which BOFF# is sampled asserted. If the
system logic drives a BOFF#-initiated inquire cycle and hits a
modified line, the processor performs a writeback cycle before
it restarts the locked cycle (the processor asserts LOCK# during
the writeback cycle).
In Figure 67, the processor immediately restarts the aborted
locked write cycle by driving the bus off the clock edge on
which BOFF# is sampled negated. The system logic must ensure
the processor results for interrupted and uninterrupted locked
cycles are consistent. That is, the system logic must guarantee
the memory accessed by the processor is not modified during
the time another bus master controls the bus.

In this example, BE[7:0]# = FBh and A[31:3] = 0000_0000h,
which indicates that the special cycle is a halt special cycle (See

all lines in the instruction and data cache. The processor then
drives a flush acknowledge special cycle.

In Figure 70, a shutdown (triple fault) occurs in the first half of
the waveform, and a shutdown special cycle follows in the
second half. The processor enters shutdown when an interrupt
or exception occurs during the handling of a double fault (INT
8), which amounts to a triple fault. When the processor
encounters a triple fault, it stops its activity on the bus and
generates the shutdown special bus cycle (BE[7:0]# = FEh).
The system logic must assert NMI, INIT, RESET, or SMI# to get
the processor out of the Shutdown state.

Stop Grant and Stop
Clock States
Figure 71 on page 174 and Figure 72 on page 175 show the
processor transition from normal execution to the Stop Grant
state, then to the Stop Clock state, back to the Stop Grant state,
and finally back to normal execution. The series of transitions
begins when the processor samples STPCLK# asserted. On
recognizing a STPCLK# interrupt at the next instruction
retirement boundary, the processor performs the following
actions, in the order shown:
1. Its instruction pipelines are flushed.
2. All pending and in-progress bus cycles are completed.
3. The STPCLK# assertion is acknowledged by executing a
Stop Grant special bus cycle.
4. Its internal clock is stopped after BRDY# of the Stop Grant
special bus cycle is sampled asserted and after EWBE# is
sampled asserted (if EWBE# is masked off, then entry into
the Stop Grant state is not affected by EWBE#).
5. The Stop Clock state is entered if the system logic stops the
bus clock CLK (optional).
STPCLK# is sampled as a level-sensitive input on every clock
edge but is not recognized until the next instruction boundary.
The system logic drives the signal either synchronously or
asynchronously. If it is asserted asynchronously, it must be
asserted for a minimum pulse width of two clocks. STPCLK#
must remain asserted until recognized, which is indicated by
the completion of the Stop Grant special cycle.

INIT-Initiated
Transition from
Protected Mode to
Real Mode
22529B/0—January 2000
INIT is typically asserted in response to a BIOS interrupt that
writes to an I/O port. This interrupt is often in response to a
Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard input. The BIOS writes to a port (similar
to port 64h in the keyboard controller) that asserts INIT. INIT is
also used to support 80286 software that must return to real
mode after accessing extended memory in protected mode.
The assertion of INIT causes the processor to empty its
pipelines, initialize most of its internal state, and branch to
address FFFF_FFF0h—the same instruction execution starting
point used after RESET. Unlike RESET, the processor
preserves the contents of its caches, the Floating-Point state,
the MMX state, Model-Specific Registers (MSRs), the CD and
NW bits of the CR0 register, the time stamp counter, and other
specific internal resources.
Figure 73 on page 177 shows an example in which the operating
system writes to an I/O port, causing the system logic to assert
INIT. The sampling of INIT asserted starts an extended
microcode sequence that terminates with a code fetch from
FFFF_FFF0h, the reset location. INIT is sampled on every clock
edge but is not recognized until the next instruction boundary.
During an I/O write cycle, it must be sampled asserted a
minimum of three clock edges before BRDY# is sampled
asserted if it is to be recognized on the boundary between the
I/O write instruction and the following instruction. If INIT is
asserted synchronously, it can be asserted for a minimum of one
clock. If it is asserted asynchronously, it must have been
negated for a minimum of two clocks, followed by an assertion
of a minimum of two clocks.

Power-On Configuration and Initialization
On power-on, the system logic must reset the AMD-K6-2E
processor by asserting the RESET signal. When the processor
samples RESET asserted, it immediately flushes and initializes
all internal resources and its internal state, including its
pipelines and caches, the floating-point state, the MMX and
3DNow! states, and all registers. Then, the processor jumps to
address FFFF_FFF0h to start instruction execution.

FLUSH#
Signals Sampled During the Falling Transition of RESET
FLUSH# is sampled on the falling transition of RESET to
determine if the processor begins normal instruction execution
or enters three-state test mode.
■
■
BF[2:0]
Chapter 7
If FLUSH# is High during the falling transition of RESET,
the processor unconditionally runs its Built-In Self Test
(BIST), performs the normal reset functions, then jumps to
address FFFF_FFF0h to start instruction execution. (See
“Built-In Self-Test (BIST)” on page 227 for more details.)
If FLUSH# is Low during the falling transition of RESET,
the processor enters three-state test mode. (See
“Three-State Test Mode” on page 228 and “FLUSH# (Cache
Flush)” on page 104 for more details.)
The in t er n a l op erat i n g f re q u e n cy o f t h e p roce s so r is
determined by the state of the bus frequency signals BF[2:0]
when they are sampled during the falling transition of RESET.
The frequency of the CLK input signal is multiplied internally
by a ratio defined by BF[2:0]. (See “BF[2:0] (Bus Frequency)”
on page 93 for the processor-clock to bus-clock ratios.)

State of Processor After INIT
The recognition of the assertion of INIT causes the processor to
empty its pipelines, to initialize most of its internal state, and to
branch to address FFFF_FFF0h—the same instruction
execution starting point used after RESET.
Unlike RESET, the processor preserves the contents of its
caches, the floating-point state, the MMX and 3DNow! states,
MSRs, and the CD and NW bits of the CR0 register.
The edge-sensitive interrupts FLUSH# and SMI# are sampled
and preserved during the INIT process and are handled
accordingly after the initialization is complete. However, the
processor resets any pending NMI interrupt upon sampling
INIT asserted.
INIT can be used as an accelerator for 80286 code that requires
a reset to exit from protected mode back to real mode.

Cache Organization
The following sections describe the basic architecture and
resources of the AMD-K6-2E processor internal caches.
The performance of the AMD-K6-2E processor is enhanced by a
writeback level-one (L1) cache. The cache is organized as a
separate 32-Kbyte instruction cache and a 32-Kbyte data cache,
each with two-way set associativity (See Figure 74). The cache
line size is 32 bytes, and lines are prefetched from external
memory using an efficient, pipelined burst transaction.
As the instruction cache is filled, each instruction byte is
analyzed for instruction boundaries using predecode logic.
Predecoding annotates each instruction byte with information
that later enables the decoders to efficiently decode multiple
instructions simultaneously. Translation lookaside buffers
(TLB) are also used to translate linear addresses to physical
addresses. The instruction cache is associated with a 64-entry
TLB, while the data cache is associated with a 128-entry TLB.

The processor cache design takes advantage of a sectored
organization (See Figure 75). Each sector consists of 64 bytes
configured as two 32-byte cache lines. The two cache lines of a
sector share a common tag but have separate MESI (modified,
exclusive, shared, invalid) bits that track the state of each cache
line.

Notes:
Instruction-cache lines have only two coherency states (valid or invalid) rather than the four MESI coherency states of data-cache lines.
Only two states are needed for the instruction cache because these lines are read-only.
Figure 75. Cache Sector Organization
8.1
MESI States in the Data Cache
The state of each line in the caches is tracked by the MESI bits.
The coherency of these states or MESI bits is maintained by
internal processor snoops and external inquiries by the system
logic. The following four states are defined for the data cache:
■
■
■
■
186
Modified—This line has been modified and is different from
main memory.
Exclusive—This line is not modified and is the same as
external memory. If this line is written to, it becomes
Modified.
Shared—If a cache line is in the Shared state it means that
the same line can exist in more than one cache system.
Invalid—The information in this line is not valid.

Predecode Bits
Decoding x86 instructions is particularly difficult because the
instructions vary in length, ranging from 1 to 15 bytes long.
Predecode logic supplies the predecode bits associated with
each instruction byte.
Predecode bits indicate the number of bytes to the start of the
next x86 instruction. The predecode bits are passed with the
instruction bytes to the decoders, where they assist with
parallel x86 instruction decoding. The predecode bits use
memory separate from the 32-Kbyte instruction cache. The
predecode bits are stored in an extended instruction cache
alongside each x86 instruction byte as shown in Figure 75 on
page 186.
8.3
Cache Operation
The operating modes for the caches are configured by software
using the Not Writethrough (NW) and Cache Disable (CD) bits
of control register 0 (CR0 bits 29 and 30 respectively). These
bits are used in all operating modes.
When the CD and NW bits are both 0, the cache is fully
enabled. This is the standard operating mode for the cache.
If a read miss occurs when the processor reads from the
cache, a line fill (32-byte burst read) on the system bus
occurs in order to fetch the cache line. Write hits to the
cache are updated, while write misses and writes to shared
lines cause external memory updates. Refer to Table 34,
“Data Cache States for Read and Write Accesses,” on
page 198 for a summary of cache read and write cycles and
the effect of these operations on the cache MESI state.
Note: A write allocate operation can modify the behavior of write
misses to the cache. See “Write Allocate” on page 192.
■
■
■
Chapter 8
When the CD bit is 0 and the NW bit is 1, an invalid mode of
operation exists that causes a general protection fault to
occur.
When the CD bit is 1 (disabled) and the NW bit is 0, the
cache fill mechanism is disabled but the contents of the
cache are still valid. The processor reads from the cache, and
if a read miss occurs, no line fills take place. Write hits to the
cache are updated, while write misses and writes to shared
Cache Organization
187
Preliminary Information

lines cause external memory updates. If PWT is driven Low
and WB/WT# is sampled High, a write hit to a shared line
changes the cache-line state to Exclusive.
■
When the CD and NW bits are both 1, the cache is fully
disabled. Even though the cache is disabled, the contents
are not necessarily invalid. The processor reads from the
cache and, if a read miss occurs, no line fills take place. If a
write hit occurs, the cache is updated but an external
memory update does not occur. If a cache line is in the
Exclusive state during a write hit, the cache-line state is
changed to Modified. Cache lines in the Shared state remain
in the Shared state after a write hit. Write misses access
external memory directly.
The operating system can control the cacheability of a page.
The paging mechanism is controlled by CR3, the Page Directory
Entry (PDE), and the Page Table Entry (PTE). Within CR3,
PDE, and PTE are Page Cache Disable (PCD) and Page
Writethrough (PWT) bits. The values of the PCD and PWT bits
used in Table 31 and Table 32 are taken from either the PTE or
PDE. For more information see the descriptions of PCD and
PWT on page 115 and page 117, respectively.
Tables 31 through 33 describe the logic that determines the
cacheability of a cycle and how that cacheability is affected by
the PCD bits, the PWT bits, the PG and CD bits of CR0,
writeback cycles, the Cache Inhibit (CI) bit of Test Register 12
(TR12), and unlocked memory reads.
Table 31 describes how the PWT signal is driven based on the
values of the PWT bits and the PG bit of CR0.

Cache Disabling and Flushing
To completely disable all cache accesses, the CD bit must be set
to 1 and the cache must be completely flushed. There are three
different methods for flushing the cache. The first method
relies on the system logic, and the other two rely on software.
■
■
■
190
For the system logic to flush the cache, the processor must
sample FLUSH# asserted. In this method, the processor
writes back any data cache lines that are in the Modified
state, invalidates all lines in the instruction and data caches,
and then executes a flush acknowledge special cycle (See
Table 23 on page 132).
The second method relies on software to execute the
WBINVD instruction which causes all modified lines to first
be written back to memory, then marks all cache lines as
invalid. Alternatively, if writing modified lines back to
memory is not necessary, the INVD instruction can be used
to invalidate all cache lines.
The third method is to make use of the Page Flush/Invalidate
Register (PFIR), which allows cache invalidation and
optional flushing of a specific 4-Kbyte page from the linear
address space (see “Page Flush/Invalidate Register (PFIR)”
on page 200). Unlike the previous two methods of flushing
the cache, this particular method requires the software to be
aware of which specific pages must be flushed and
invalidated.

8.5
Cache-Line Fills
The processor performs a cache-line fill for any area of system
memory defined as cacheable. If an area of system memory is
not explicitly defined as uncacheable by the software or system
logic, or implicitly treated as uncacheable by the processor,
then the memory access is assumed to be cacheable.
Software can prevent caching of certain pages by setting the
PCD bit in the page directory entry (PDE) or page table entry
(PTE). Additionally, software can define regions of memory as
uncacheable or write combinable by programming the MTRRs
in the UC/WC cacheability control register (UWCCR) (see
“Memory Type Range Registers” on page 207). Writecombinable memory is defined as uncacheable.
The system logic also has control of the cacheability of bus
cycles. If system logic determines the address is not cacheable,
system logic negates the KEN# signal when asserting the first
BRDY# or NA# of a cycle.
The processor does not cache certain memory accesses, such as
locked operations. In addition, the processor does not cache
PDE or PTE memory reads in the L1 cache (referred to as page
table walks).
When the processor needs to read memory, the processor drives
a read cycle onto the bus. If the cycle is cacheable, the
processor asserts CACHE#. If the cycle is not cacheable, a
non-burst, single-transfer read takes place. The processor waits
for the system logic to return the data and assert a single
BRDY# (See Figure 52 on page 139). If the cycle is cacheable,
the processor executes a 32-byte burst read cycle. The processor
expects a total of four BRDY# signals for a burst read cycle to
take place (See Figure 54 on page 143).
Cache-line fills initiate 32-byte burst read cycles from memory
on the system bus for the instruction cache and the data cache.
If a data-cache line being filled replaces a modified line, the
modified contents of the line are copied to a 32-byte writeback
(copyback) buffer in the bus interface unit while the new line is
being read.

Cache-Line Replacements
As programs execute and task switches occur, some cache lines
eventually require replacement.
Instruction cache lines are replaced using a Least Recently
Used (LRU) algorithm. If line replacement is required, lines are
replaced when read cache misses occur.
The data cache uses a slightly different approach to line
replacement. If a miss occurs, and a replacement is required,
lines are replaced by using a Least Recently Allocated (LRA)
algorithm.
Two forms of cache misses and associated cache fills can take
place—a tag-miss cache fill and a tag-hit cache fill.
■
■
8.7
In the case of a tag-miss cache fill, the miss is due to a tag
mismatch, in which case the required cache line is filled
from external memory, and the cache line within the sector
that was not required is marked as invalid.
In the case of a tag-hit cache fill, the address matches the
tag, but the requested cache line is marked as invalid. The
required cache line is filled from external memory, and the
cache line within the sector that is not required remains in
the same cache state.
Write Allocate
Write allocate, if enabled, occurs when the processor has a
pending memory write cycle to a cacheable line and the line
does not currently reside in the data cache. In this case, the
processor performs a 32-byte burst read cycle to fetch the
data-cache line addressed by the pending write cycle. The data
associated with the pending write cycle is merged with the
recently-allocated data-cache line and stored in the processor’s
data cache. The final MESI state of the cache line depends on
the state of the WB/WT# and PWT signals during the burst read
cycle and the subsequent data cache write hit (See Table 34 on
page 198 to determine the cache-line states and the access
types following a cache read miss and cache write hit).
If a data-cache line fetch from memory is attempted because
the write allocate misses the data cache, and KEN# is sampled
192

Chapter 8
Preliminary Information

22529B/0—January 2000
negated, the processor does not perform an allocation. In this
case, the pending write cycle is executed as a single write cycle
on the system bus.
During write allocates, a 32-byte burst read cycle is executed in
place of a non-burst write cycle. While the burst read cycle
generally takes longer to execute than the write cycle,
performance gains are realized on subsequent write cycle hits
to the write-allocated cache line. Due to the nature of software,
memory accesses tend to occur in proximity of each other
(principle of locality). The likelihood of additional write hits to
the write-allocated cache line is high.
The following is a description of three mechanisms by which the
AMD-K6-2E processor performs write allocations. A write
al lo c at e is p e r fo rm e d wh en a ny o n e o r m o re of t h e se
mechanisms indicates that a pending write is to a cacheable
area of memory.
Write to a Cacheable
Page
Every time the processor performs a cache line fill, the address
of the page in which the cache line resides is saved in the
Cacheability Control Register (CCR). The page address of
subsequent write cycles is compared with the page address
stored in the CCR. If the two addresses are equal, then the
processor performs a write allocate because the page has
already been determined to be cacheable.
When the processor performs a cache line fill from a different
page than the address saved in the CCR, the CCR is updated
with the new page address.
Write to a Sector
If the address of a pending write cycle matches the tag address
of a valid cache sector, but the addressed cache line within the
sector is marked invalid (a sector hit but a cache line miss),
then the processor performs a write allocate. The pending write
cycle is determined to be cacheable because the sector hit
indicates the presence of at least one valid cache line in the
sector. The two cache lines within a sector are guaranteed by
design to be within the same page.
Write Allocate Limit
The AMD-K6-2E processor uses two mechanisms that are
programmable within the Write Handling Control register
(WHCR) to enable write allocations for write cycles that
address a definable or special 1-Mbyte memory area.

Write Allocate Enable Limit Field. The WAELIM field is 10 bits wide.
This field, multiplied by 4 Mbytes, defines an upper memory
limit. Any pending write cycle that addresses memory below
this limit causes the processor to perform a write allocate
(assuming the address is not within a range where write
allocates are disallowed). Write allocate is disabled for memory
accesses at and above this limit unless the processor determines
a pending write cycle is cacheable by means of one of the other
write allocate mechanisms—“Write to a Cacheable Page” and
“Write to a Sector.” The maximum value of this limit is ((210 –1)
· 4 Mbytes) = 4092 Mbytes. When all the bits in this field are 0,
all memory is above this limit and the write allocate mechanism
is disabled (even if all bits in the WAELIM field are 0, write
allocates can still occur due to the “Write to a Cacheable Page”
and “Write to a Sector” mechanisms).

must be set to 1 to allow write allocate in this memory area. This
bit is provided to account for a small number of uncommon
memory-mapped I/O adapters that use this particular memory
address space. If the system contains one of these peripherals,
the bit should be written to 0 (even if the WAE15M bit is 0,

write allocates can still occur between 15 Mbytes and 16
Mbytes due to the “Write to a Cacheable Page” and “Write to a
Sector” mechanisms). The WAE15M bit is ignored if the value
in the WAELIM field is less than 16 Mbytes.
By definition, a write allocate is never performed in the
memory area between 640 Kbytes and 1 Mbyte unless the
processor determines a pending write cycle is cacheable by
means of one of the other write allocate mechanisms—“Write
to a Cacheable Page” and “Write to a Sector”. It is not
considered safe to perform write allocations between 640
Kbytes and 1 Mbyte (000A_0000h to 000F_FFFFh) because it is
considered a noncacheable region of memory.
If a memory region is defined as w rite- combinable or
uncacheable by a MTRR, write allocates are not performed in
that region.

The following list corresponds to the items in Figure 77 on page
195:
1. CD Bit of CR0—When the Cache Disable (CD) bit within
control register 0 (CR0) is 1, the cache fill mechanism for
both reads and writes is disabled, and write allocate does
not occur.
2. PCD Signal—When the PCD (page cache disable) signal is
driven High, caching for that page is disabled even if KEN#
is sampled asserted, and write allocate does not occur.
3. CI Bit of TR12—When the cache inhibit bit of test register 12
is 1, L1 cache fills are disabled, and write allocate does not
occur.
4. UC or WC—If a pending write cycle addresses a region of
memory defined as write combinable or uncacheable by an
MTRR, write allocates are not performed in that region.
5. Write to a Cacheable Page (CCR)—A write allocate is
performed if the processor knows that a page is cacheable.
The CCR is used to store the page address of the last cache
fill for a read miss. See “Write to a Cacheable Page” on page
193 for a detailed description of this condition.
6. Write to a Sector—A write allocate is performed if the
address of a pending write cycle matches the tag address of a
valid cache sector, but the addressed cache line within the
sector is invalid. See “Write to a Sector” on page 193 for a
detailed description of this condition.
7. Less Than Limit (WAELIM)—The write allocate limit
mechanism determines if the memory area being addressed
is less than the limit set in the WAELIM field of WHCR. If
the address is less than the limit, write allocate for that
memory address is performed as long as conditions 8
through 10 do not prevent write allocate (even if conditions
8 and 10 attempt to prevent write allocate, condition 5 or 6
allows write allocates to occur).
8. Between 640 Kbytes and 1 Mbyte —Write allocate is not
performed in the memory area between 640 Kbytes and 1
Mbyte. It is not considered safe to perform write allocations
between 640 Kbytes and 1 Mbyte (000A_0000h to
000F_FFFFh) because this area of memory is considered a
noncacheable region of memory (even if condition 8
attempts to prevent write allocate, condition 5 or 6 allows
write allocate to occur).
196

9. Between 15–16 Mbytes—If the address of a pending write
cycle is in the 1 Mbyte of memory between 15 Mbytes and 16
Mbytes, and the WAE15M bit is 1, write allocate for this
cycle is enabled.
10. Write Allocate Enable 15–16 Mbytes (WAE15M)—This
condition is associated with the Write Allocate Limit
mechanism and affects write allocate only if the limit
specified by the WAELIM field is greater than or equal to
16 Mbytes. If the memory address is between 15 Mbytes and
16 Mbytes, and the WAE15M bit in the WHCR is 0, write
allocate for this cycle is disabled (even if condition 10
attempts to prevent write allocate, condition 5 or 6 allows
write allocate to occur).
8.8
Prefetching
Hardware
Prefetching
The AMD-K6-2E processor conditionally performs cache
prefetching which results in the filling of the required cache
line first, and a prefetch of the second cache line making up the
other half of the sector. From the perspective of the external
bus, the two cache-line fills typically appear as two 32-byte
burst read cycles occurring back-to-back or, if allowed, as
p i pe l in e d cy cl e s . Th e b u rs t re a d cy cl e s d o n o t o c c u r
back-to-back (wait states occur) if the processor is not ready to
start a new cycle, if higher priority data read or write requests
exist, or if NA# (next address) was sampled negated. Wait states
can also exist between burst cycles if the processor samples
AHOLD or BOFF# asserted.
Software Prefetching
The 3DNow! technology includes an instruction called
PREFETCH that allows a cache line to be prefetched into the
L1 data cache. Unlike prefetching under hardware control,
software prefetching only fetches the cache line specified by
the operand of the PREFETCH instruction, and does not
attempt to fetch the other cache line in the sector. The
PREFETCH instruction format is defined in Table 15,
“3DNow!™ Instructions,” on page 81. For more detailed
information, see the 3DNow!™ Technology Manual, order#
21928.

Cache Coherency
Different methods exist to maintain coherency between the
system memory and cache memories. Inquire cycles, internal
snoops, FLUSH#, WBINVD, INVD, and line replacements all
prevent inconsistencies between memories.
Inquire Cycles
Inquire cycles are bus cycles initiated by system logic. These
inquiries ensure coherency between the caches and main
memory. In systems with multiple caching masters, system logic
maintains cache coherency by driving inquire cycles to the
processor. System logic initiates inquire cycles by asserting
AHOLD, BOFF#, or HOLD to obtain control of the address bus
and then driving EADS#, INV (optional), and an inquire
address (A[31:5]).
This type of bus cycle causes the processor to compare the tags
for both its instruction and data caches with the inquire
address.
■
■
■
■
If there is a hit to a shared or exclusive line in the data cache
or a valid line in the instruction cache, the processor asserts
HIT#.
If the compare hits a modified line in the data cache, the
processor asserts HIT# and HITM#. If HITM# is asserted, the
processor writes the modified line back to memory.
If INV was sampled asserted with EADS#, a hit invalidates
the line.
If INV was sampled negated with EADS#, a hit leaves the
line in the Shared state or transitions it from the Exclusive
or Modified to Shared state.
Table 35 on page 202 shows the effects of inquire cycles—
performed with INV equal to 0 (non-validating) and INV equal
to 1 (invalidating) snoops and invalidations.
Internal Snooping
Internal snooping is initiated by the processor (rather than
system logic) during certain cache accesses. It is used to
maintain coherency between the L1 instruction and data
caches.
The processor automatically snoops its instruction cache during
read or write misses to its data cache, and it snoops its data

cache during read misses to its instruction cache. Table 35
summarizes the actions taken during this internal snooping.
If an internal snoop hits its target, the processor does the
following:
■
■
Data Cache Snoop During an Instruction-Cache Read
Miss—If modified, the line in the data cache is written back
on the system bus to external memory. Regardless of its
state, the data-cache line is invalidated and the instruction
cache performs a burst read cycle from external memory.
Instruction Cache Snoop During a Data-Cache Miss—The
line in the instruction cache is marked invalid, and the
data-cache read or write is performed from memory.
FLUSH#
In response to sampling FLUSH# asserted, the processor writes
back any data cache lines that are in the Modified state and
then marks all lines in the instruction and data caches as
invalid.
Page Flush/Invalidate
Register (PFIR)
The AMD-K6-2E processor contains the page flush/invalidate
register (PFIR) (see Figure 78) that allows cache invalidation
and optional flushing of a specific 4-Kbyte page from the linear
address space. When the PFIR is written to (using the WRMSR
instruction), the invalidation and the flushing (optional) begin.
The total amount of cache in the AMD-K6-2E processor is 64
Kbytes. Using this register can result in a much lower cycle
count for flushing particular pages versus flushing the entire
cache.

LINPAGE Field. This 20-bit field must be written with bits 31:12 of
the linear address of the 4-Kbyte page that is to be invalidated
and optionally flushed from the L1 cache.
PF Bit. If an attempt to invalidate or flush a page results in a
page fault, the processor sets the PF bit to 1, and the invalidate
or flush operation is not performed (even though invalidate
operations do not normally generate page faults). In this case,
an actual page fault exception is not generated. If the PF bit
equals 0 after an invalidate or flush operation, then the
operation executed successfully. The PF bit must be read after
every write to the PFIR register to determine if the invalidate
or flush operation executed successfully.
F/I Bit. This bit is used to control the type of action that occurs to
the specified linear page. If a 0 is written to this bit, the
operation is a flush, in which case all cache lines in the
modified state within the specified page are written back to
memory, after which the entire page is invalidated. If a 1 is
written to this bit, the operation is an invalidation, in which
case the entire page is invalidated without the occurrence of
any writebacks.
WBINVD and INVD
Instructions
These x86 instructions cause all cache lines to be marked as
invalid. WBINVD writes back modified lines before marking all
cache lines invalid. INVD does not write back modified lines.
Cache-Line
Replacement
Replacing lines in the instruction or data cache, according to
the line replacement algorithms described in “Cache-Line
Fills” on page 191, ensures coherency between external
memory and the caches.

and after various cache-related operations.

Notes:
1. The processor’s response to an inquire cycle depends on the state of the INV input signal and the state of the cache line as
follows:
For the instruction cache, if INV is sampled negated, the line remains invalid or valid, but if INV is sampled asserted, the line is
invalidated.
For the data cache, if INV is sampled negated, valid lines remain in or transition to the Shared state, a modified data cache line
is written back before the line is marked shared (with HITM# asserted), and invalid lines remain invalid. For the data cache, if
INV is sampled asserted, the line is marked invalid. Modified lines are written back before invalidation.
2. If an internal snoop hits a modified line in the data cache, the line is written back and invalidated. Then the instruction cache
performs a burst read from memory.
3. If an internal snoop hits a line in the instruction cache, the instruction cache line is invalidated and the data-cache read or write
is performed from memory.

Writethrough and Writeback Coherency States
The terms writethrough and writeback apply to two related
concepts in a read-write cache like the AMD-K6-2E processor’s
L1 data cache. The following conditions apply to both the
writethrough and writeback modes:
■
■
8.12
Memory Writes—A relationship exists between external
memory writes and their concurrence with cache updates:
• An external memory write that occurs concurrently with
a cache update to the same location is a writethrough.
Writethroughs are driven as single cycles on the bus.
• An external memory write that occurs after the processor
has modified a cache line is a writeback. Writebacks are
driven as burst cycles on the bus.
Coherency State—A relationship exists between MESI
coherency states and writethrough-writeback coherency
states of lines in the cache as follows:
• Shared and invalid MESI lines are in writethrough state.
• Modified and exclusive MESI lines are in writeback state.
A20M# Masking of Cache Accesses
Although the processor samples A20M# as a level-sensitive
input on every clock edge, it should only be asserted in real
mode. The processor applies the A20M# masking to its tags,
through which all programs access the caches. Therefore,
assertion of A20M# affects all addresses (cache and external
memory), including the following:
■
■
Cache-line fills (caused by read misses or write allocates)
Cache writethroughs (caused by write misses or write hits to
lines in the Shared state)
However, A20M# does not mask writebacks or invalidations
caused by the following actions:

Write Merge Buffer
The AMD-K6-2E processor contains an 8-byte write merge
buffer that allows the processor to conditionally combine data
from multiple noncacheable write cycles into this merge buffer.
The merge buffer operates in conjunction with the Memory
Type Range Registers (MTRRs). Refer to “Memory Type Range
Registers” on page 207 for a description of the MTRRs.
Merging multiple write cycles into a single write cycle reduces
processor bus utilization and processor stalls, thereby
increasing the overall system performance.
9.1
EWBE# Control
The presence of the merge buffer creates the potential to
perform out-of-order write cycles relative to the processor’s L1
cache. In general, the ordering of write cycles that are driven
externally on the system bus and those that hit the processor’s
cache can be controlled by the EWBE# signal. See “EWBE#
(External Write Buffer Empty)” on page 102 for more
information.
If EWBE# is sampled negated, the processor delays the
commitment of write cycles to cache lines in the Modified state
or Exclusive state in the processor’s cache. Therefore, the
system logic can enforce strong ordering by negating EWBE#
until the external write cycle is complete, thereby ensuring that
a subsequent write cycle that hits the cache does not complete
ahead of the external write cycle.
However, the addition of the write merge buffer introduces the
potential for out-of-order write cycles to occur between writes
to the merge buffer and writes to the processor’s cache. Because
these writes occur entirely within the processor and are not
sent out to the processor bus, the system logic is not able to
enforce strong ordering with the EWBE# signal.
Chapter 9
Write Merge Buffer
205
Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet
22529B/0—January 2000
The EWBE control (EWBEC) bits in the EFER register provide
a mechanism for enforcing three different levels of write
ordering in the presence of the write merge buffer:
■
EFER[3] is defined as the Global EWBE# Disable
(GEWBED). When GEWBED equals 1, the processor does
not attempt to enforce any write ordering internally or
externally (the EWBE# signal is ignored). This is the
maximum performance setting.
■
EFER[2] is defined as the Speculative EWBE# Disable
(SEWBED). SEWBED only affects the processor when
GEWBED equals 0. If GEWBED equals 0 and SEWBED
equals 1, the processor enforces strong ordering for all
internal write cycles with the exception of write cycles
addressed to a range of memory defined as uncacheable
(UC) or write-combining (WC) by the MTRRs. In addition,
the processor samples the EWBE# signal. If EWBE# is
sampled negated, the processor delays the commitment of
write cycles to processor cache lines in the Modified state or
Exclusive state until EWBE# is sampled asserted.
This setting provides performance comparable to, but
slightly less than, the performance obtained when
GEWBED equals 1 because some degree of write ordering is
maintained.
If GEWBED equals 0 and SEWBED equals 0, the processor
enforces strong ordering for all internal and external write
cycles. In this setting, the processor assumes, or speculates,
that strong order must be maintained between writes to the
merge buffer and writes that hit the processor’s cache. Once
the merge buffer is written out to the processor’s bus, the
EWBE# signal is sampled. If EWBE# is sampled negated, the
processor delays the commitment of write cycles to
processor cache lines in the Modified state or Exclusive
state until EWBE# is sampled asserted.
This setting is the default after RESET and provides the
lowest performance of the three settings because full write
ordering is maintained.

Memory Type Range Registers
The AMD-K6-2E processor provides two variable-range Memory
Type Range registers (MTRRs), MTRR0 and MTRR1, each of
which specifies a range of memory. Each range can be defined
as one of the following memory types:
■
■
Chapter 9
Uncacheable (UC) Memory—Memory read cycles are
sourced directly from the specified memory address and the
processor does not allocate a cache line. Memory write
cycles are targeted at the specified memory address and a
write allocation does not occur.
Write-Combining (WC) Memory—Memory read cycles are
sourced directly from the specified memory address and the
processor does not allocate a cache line. The processor
conditionally combines data from multiple noncacheable
write cycles that are addressed within this range into a
merge buffer. Merging multiple write cycles into a single
write cycle reduces processor bus utilization and processor
stalls, thereby increasing the overall system performance.
This memory type is applicable for linear video frame
buffers.

The minimum size of each range is 128 Kbytes.

All bits set to 1 in the physical address mask must be
contiguous. Likewise, all bits cleared to 0 in the physical

Floating-Point and Multimedia Execution Units
10.1
Floating-Point Execution Unit
The AMD-K6-2E processor contains an IEEE 754-compatible
and IEEE 854-compatible floating-point execution unit
designed to accelerate the performance of software that utilizes
the x86 floating-point instruction set. Floating-point software is
typically written to manipulate numbers that are very large or
very small, that require a high degree of precision, or that result
f r o m c o m p l e x m a t h e m a t i c a l o p e ra t i o n s s u c h a s
transce ndentals. Applications t hat t ake advantage of
floating-point operations include geometric calculations for
graphics acceleration, scientific, statistical, and engineering
applications, and business applications that use large amounts
of high-precision data.
The high-performance floating-point execution unit contains an
adder unit, a multiplier unit, and a divide/square root unit.
These low-latency units can execute floating-point instructions
in as few as two processor clocks. To increase performance, the
proce sso r is de sig ned to simul ta neo usly de code mo st
floating-point instructions with most short-decodeable
instructions.
See “Software Environment” on page 23 for a description of the
floating-point data types, registers, and instructions.
Handling
Floating-Point
Exceptions
The AMD-K6-2E processor provides the following two types of
exception handling for floating-point exceptions:
■
■
External Logic
Support of
Floating-Point
Exceptions
Chapter 10
If the numeric error (NE) bit in CR0 is 1, the processor
invokes the interrupt 10h handler. In this manner, the
floating-point exception is completely handled by software.
If the NE bit in CR0 is 0, the processor requires external
logic to generate an interrupt on the INTR signal in order to
handle the exception.
The processor provides the FERR# (Floating-Point Error) and
IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) signals to allow the external
logic to generate the interrupt in a manner consistent with
PC/AT-compatible systems. The assertion of FERR# indicates
the occurrence of an unmasked floating-point exception
resulting from the execution of a floating-point instruction.
Floating-Point and Multimedia Execution Units
213
Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet
22529B/0—January 2000
IGNNE# is used by the external hardware to control the effect
of an unmasked floating-point exception. Under certain
circumstances, if IGNNE# is sampled asserted, the processor
ignores the floating-point exception.
Figure 80 illustrates an implementation of external logic for
supporting floating-point exceptions. The following example
explains the operation of the external logic in Figure 80:
1. As the result of a floating-point exception, the processor
asserts FERR#.
2. The assertion of FERR# and the sampling of IGNNE#
negated indicates the processor has stopped instruction
execution and is waiting for an interrupt.
3. The assertion of FERR# leads to the assertion of INTR by
the interrupt controller.
4. The processor acknowledges the interrupt and jumps to the
corresponding interrupt service routine in which an I/O
write cycle to address port F0h leads to the assertion of
IGNNE#.
5. When IGNNE# is sampled asserted, the processor ignores
the floating-point exception and continues instruction
execution.
6. When the processor negates FERR#, the external logic
negates IGNNE#.
See “FERR# (Floating-Point Error)” on page 103 and “IGNNE#
(Ignore Numeric Exception)” on page 108 for more details.

Multimedia and 3DNow!™ Execution Units
The multimedia and 3DNow! execution units of the AMD-K6-2E
processor are designed to accelerate the performance of
software written using the industry-standard MMX instructions
and the 3DNow! instructions. Applications that can take
advantage of the MMX and 3DNow! instructions include
graphics, video and audio compression and decompression,
speech recognition, and telephony applications.
The multimedia execution unit can execute MMX instructions
in a single processor clock. All MMX and 3DNow! arithmetic
instructions are pipelined for higher performance. To increase
performance, the processor is designed to simultaneously
decode all MMX and 3DNow! instructions with most other
instructions.
For more information on MMX instructions, see the AMD-K6®
Processor Multimedia Technology Manual, order #20726. For
more information on 3DNow! instructions, see the 3DNow!™
Technology Manual, order #21928.

Floating-Point and MMX™/3DNow!™ Instruction Compatibility
Registers
The eight 64-bit MMX registers (which are also utilized by
3DNow! instructions) are mapped on the floating-point stack.
This enables backward compatibility with all existing software.
For example, the register saving event that is performed by
operating systems during task switching requires no changes to
the operating system. The same support provided in an
operating system’s interrupt 7 handler (Device Not Available)
for saving and restoring the floating-point registers also
supports saving and restoring the MMX registers.
Exceptions
There are no new exceptions defined for supporting the MMX
and 3DNow! instructions. All exceptions that occur while
decoding or executing an MMX or 3DNow! instruction are
handled in existing exception handlers without modification.

System Management Mode (SMM)
SMM is an alternate operating mode entered by way of a system
management interrupt (SMI) and handled by an interrupt
service routine. SMM is designed for system control activities
s u ch a s p owe r m a n a g e m e n t . Th e s e a c t iv i t i e s a p p e a r
transparent to conventional operating systems like DOS and
Windows. SMM is primarily targeted for use by the Basic Input
Output System (BIOS) and specialized low-level device drivers.
The code and data for SMM are stored in the SMM memory
area, which is isolated from main memory.
The processor enters SMM by the system logic’s assertion of the
SMI# interrupt and the processor’s acknowledgment by the
assertion of SMIACT#. At this point the processor saves its state
into the SMM memory state-save area and jumps to the SMM
service routine. The processor returns from SMM when it
executes the resume (RSM) instruction from within the SMM
service routine. Subsequently, the processor restores its state
from the SMM save area, negates SMIACT#, and resumes
execution with the instruction following the point where it
entered SMM.
The following sections summarize the SMM state-save area,
entry into and exit from SMM, exceptions and interrupts in
SMM, memory allocation and addressing in SMM, and the SMI#
and SMIACT# signals.

SMM Base Address
During RESET, the processor sets the base address of the
code-segment (CS) for the SMM memory area—the SMM base
address—to its default, 0003_0000h. The SMM base address at
offset FEF8h in the SMM state-save area can be changed by the
SMM service routine to any address that is aligned to a
32-Kbyte boundary. (Locations not aligned to a 32-Kbyte
boundary cause the processor to enter the Shutdown state when
executing the RSM instruction.)
In some operating environments it may be desirable to relocate
the 64-Kbyte SMM memory area to a high memory area in order
to provide more low memory for legacy software. During system
initialization, the base of the 64-Kbyte SMM memory area is
relocated by the BIOS. To relocate the SMM base address, the
system enters the SMM handler at the default address. This
handler changes the SMM base address location in the SMM
state-save area, copies the SMM handler to the new location,
and exits SMM.
The next time SMM is entered, the processor saves its state at
the new base address. This new address is used for every SMM
entry until the SMM base address in the SMM state-save area is
changed or a hardware reset occurs.
11.5
Halt Restart Slot
During entry into SMM, the halt restart slot at offset FF02h in
the SMM state-save area indicates if SMM was entered from the
Halt state. Before returning from SMM, the halt restart slot
(offset FF02h) can be written to by the SMM service routine to
specify whether the return from SMM takes the processor back
to the Halt state or to the next instruction after the HLT
instruction.

Bit 0—Point of entry to SMM:

■
Bits 15–1—Reserved
Bit 0—Point of return when exiting from SMM:

The I/O trap doubleword is related to the I/O trap restart slot
(see “I/O Trap Restart Slot” on page 224). If bit 1 of the I/O
trap doubleword is set by the processor, it means that SMI#
was asserted during the execution of an I/O instruction. The
SMI handler tests bit 1 to see if there is a valid I/O instruction
trapped. If the I/O instruction is valid, the SMI handler is
required to ensure the I/O trap restart slot is set properly. The
I/O trap restart slot informs the CPU whether it should
re-execute the I/O instruction after the RSM or execute the
instruction following the trapped I/O instruction.
Note: If SMI# is sampled asserted during an I/O bus cycle a minimum of three clock edges before BRDY# is sampled asserted,
the associated I/O instruction is guaranteed to be trapped by
the SMI handler.
11.7
I/O Trap Restart Slot
The I/O trap restart slot at offset FF00h in the SMM state-save
area specifies whether the trapped I/O instruction should be
re-executed on return from SMM. This slot in the state-save area
is called the I/O instruction restart function. Re-executing a
trapped I/O instruction is useful, for example, if an I/O write
occurs to a disk that is powered down. The system logic
monitoring such an access can assert SMI#. Then the SMM
service routine would query the system logic, detect a failed I/O
write, take action to power-up the I/O device, enable the I/O
trap restart slot feature, and return from SMM.
The fields of the I/O trap restart slot are defined as follows:
■
■
224
Bits 31–16—Reserved
Bits 15–0—I/O instruction restart on return from SMM:

I/O Instruction restart on return from SMM:

The processor initializes the I/O trap restart slot to 0000h upon
entry into SMM. If SMM was entered due to a trapped I/O
instruction, the processor indicates the validity of the I/O
instruction by setting or clearing bit 1 of the I/O trap
doubleword at offset FFA4h in the SMM state-save area. The
S MM se rvice ro u tine should t es t b it 1 of the I/ O t ra p
doubleword to determine if a valid I/O instruction was being
executed when entering SMM and before writing the I/O trap
restart slot. If the I/O instruction is valid, the SMM service
routine can safely rewrite the I/O trap restart slot with the value
00FFh, which causes the processor to re-execute the trapped I/O
instruction when the RSM instruction is executed. If the I/O
instruction is invalid, writing the I/O trap restart slot has
undefined results.
If a second SMI# is asserted and a valid I/O instruction was
trapped by the first SMM handler, the CPU services the second
SMI# prior to re-executing the trapped I/O instruction. The
second entry into SMM never has bit 1 of the I/O trap
doubleword set, and the second SMM service routine must not
rewrite the I/O trap restart slot.
During a simultaneous SMI# I/O instruction trap and debug
breakpoint trap, the AMD-K6-2E processor first responds to the
SMI# and postpones recognizing the debug exception until
after returning from SMM via the RSM instruction. If the debug
registers DR3–DR0 are used while in SMM, they must be saved
and restored by the SMM handler. The processor automatically
saves and restores DR7–DR6. If the I/O trap restart slot in the
SMM state-save area contains the value 00FFh when the RSM
instruction is executed, the debug trap does not occur until
after the I/O instruction is re-executed.

Exceptions, Interrupts, and Debug in SMM
During an SMI# I/O trap, the exception/interrupt priority of the
AMD-K6-2E processor changes from its normal priority. The
normal priority places the debug traps at a priority higher than
the sampling of the FLUSH# or SMI# signals. However, during
an SMI# I/O trap, the sampling of the FLUSH# or SMI# signals
takes precedence over debug traps.
The processor recognizes the assertion of NMI within SMM
immediately after the completion of an IRET instruction. Once
NMI is recognized within SMM, NMI recognition remains
enabled until SMM is exited, at which point NMI masking is
restored to the state it was in before entering SMM.

Test and Debug
The AMD-K6-2E processor implements various test and debug
modes to enable the functional and manufacturing testing of
systems and boards that use the processor. In addition, the
debug features of the processor allow designers to debug the
instruction execution of software components. This chapter
describes the following test and debug features:
■
■
■
■
■
12.1
Built-In Self-Test (BIST)—The BIST, which is invoked after
the falling transition of RESET, runs internal tests that
exercise most on-chip RAM structures.
Three-State Test Mode—A test mode that causes the
processor to float its output and bidirectional pins.
Boundary-Scan Test Access Port (TAP) —The Joint Test
Action Group (JTAG) test access function defined by the
IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan
Architecture (IEEE 1149.1-1990) specification.
Level-One (L1) Cache Inhibit—A feature that disables the
processor’s internal L1 instruction and data caches.
Debug Support—Consists of all x86-compatible software
debug features, including the debug extensions.
Built-In Self-Test (BIST)
Following the falling transition of RESET, the processor
unconditionally runs its built-in self test (BIST). The internal
resources tested during BIST include the following:
■
■
L1 instruction and data caches
Instruction and Data Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs)
The contents of the EAX general-purpose register after the
completion of reset indicate if the BIST was successful.
■
■
If EAX contains 0000_0000h, then BIST was successful.
If EAX is non-zero, the BIST failed.
Following the completion of the BIST, the processor jumps to
address FFFF_FFF0h to start instruction execution, regardless
of the outcome of the BIST. The BIST takes approximately
295,000 processor clocks to complete.

Three-State Test Mode
The three-state test mode causes the processor to float its
output and bidirectional pins, which is useful for board-level
manufac turing t esting . I n t his m ode, t he processo r is
electrically isolated from other components on a system board,
allowing automated test equipment (ATE) to test components
that drive the same signals as those the processor floats.
If the FLUSH# signal is sampled Low during the falling
transition of RESET, the processor enters the three-state test
mode. (See “FLUSH# (Cache Flush)” on page 104 for the
specific sampling requirements.) The signals floated in the
three-state test mode are as follows:

VCC2DET and VCC2H/L# must remain Low to ensure the
system continues to supply the specified processor core
voltage to the VCC2 pins.
TDO is never floated because the boundary-scan Test Access
Port must remain enabled at all times, including during the
three-state test mode.
The three-state test mode is exited when the processor samples
RESET asserted.

Boundary-Scan Test Access Port (TAP)
The boundary-scan Test Access Port (TAP) is an IEEE standard
that defines synchronous scanning test methods for complex
logic circuits, such as boards containing a processor. The
AMD-K6-2E processor supports the TAP standard defined in
the I EEE Standard Test Acces s Port and Boundary-Scan
Architecture (IEEE 1149.1-1990) specification.
Boundary scan testing uses a shift register consisting of the
serial interconnection of boundary-scan cells that correspond to
each I/O buffer of the processor. This non-inverting register
chain, called a Boundary Scan register (BSR), can be used to
capture the state of every processor pin and to drive every
processor output and bidirectional pin to a known state.
Each BSR of every component on a board that implements the
boundary-scan architecture can be serially interconnected to
enable component interconnect testing.
Test Access Port
The Test Access Port (TAP) consists of the following:

Chapter 12
Test Access Port (TAP) Controller—The TAP controller is a
synchronous, finite state machine that uses the TMS and
TDI input signals to control a sequence of test operations.
See “TAP Controller State Machine” on page 236 for a list
of TAP states and their definition.
Instruction Register (IR)—The IR contains the instructions
that select the test operation to be performed and the Test
Data Register (TDR) to be selected. See “TAP Registers” on
page 231 for more details on the IR.
Test Data Registers (TDR)—The three TDRs are used to
process the test data. Each TDR is selected by an
instruction in the Instruction Register (IR). See “TAP
Registers” on page 231 for a list of these registers and their
functions.

The test signals associated with the TAP controller are as
follows:
■
■
■
■
■
TCK—The Test Clock for all TAP operations. The rising
edge of TCK is used for sampling TAP signals, and the
falling edge of TCK is used for asserting TAP signals. The
state of the TMS signal sampled on the rising edge of TCK
causes the state transitions of the TAP controller to occur.
TCK can be stopped in the logic 0 or 1 state.
TDI—The Test Data Input represents the input to the most
significant bit of all TAP registers, including the IR and all
test data registers. Test data and instructions are serially
shifted by one bit into their respective registers on the rising
edge of TCK.
TDO—The Test Data Output represents the output of the
least significant bit of all TAP registers, including the IR and
all test data registers. Test data and instructions are serially
shifted by one bit out of their respective registers on the
falling edge of TCK.
TMS—The Test Mode Select input specifies the test
function and sequence of state changes for boundary-scan
testing. If TMS is sampled High for five or more consecutive
clocks, the TAP controller enters its reset state.
TRST#—The Test Reset signal is an asynchronous reset that
unconditionally causes the TAP controller to enter its reset
state.

Capture states. (See “TAP Controller State Machine” on page
236 for a description of the TAP controller states.) In addition,
the shift register is loaded and shifted serially in the Shift
states. The output register is loaded in parallel from its
corresponding shift register in the Update states.
Instruction Register (IR). The IR is a 5-bit register, without parity,
that determines which instruction to run and which test data
register to select. When the TAP controller enters the
Capture-IR state, the processor loads the following bits into the
IR shift register:
■
■
01b—Loaded into the two least significant bits, as specified
by the IEEE 1149.1 standard
000b—Loaded into the three most significant bits
Loading 00001b into the IR shift register during the Capture-IR
state results in loading the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction.
For each entry into the Shift-IR state, the IR shift register is
serially shifted by one bit toward the TDO pin. During the shift,
the most significant bit of the IR shift register is loaded from
the TDI pin.
The IR output register is loaded from the IR shift register in the
Update-IR state, and the current instruction is defined by the IR
output register. See “TAP Instructions” on page 235 for a list and
definition of the instructions supported by the AMD-K6-2E
processor.
Boundary Scan Register (BSR). The Boundary Scan Register is a Test
Data register consisting of the interconnection of 152
boundary-scan cells. Each output and bidirectional pin of the
processor requires a two-bit cell, where one bit corresponds to
the pin and the other bit is the output enable for the pin. When
a 0 is shifted into the enable bit of a cell, the corresponding pin
is floated, and when a 1 is shifted into the enable bit, the pin is
driven valid. Each input pin requires a one-bit cell that
corresponds to the pin. The last cell of the BSR is reserved and
does not correspond to any processor pin.

Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet
22529B/0—January 2000
The total number of bits that comprise the BSR is 281. Table 45
on page 233 lists the order of these bits, where TDI is the input
to bit 280, and TDO is driven from the output of bit 0. The
entries listed as pin_E (where pin is an output or bidirectional
signal) are the enable bits.
If the BSR is the register selected by the current instruction
and the TAP controller is in the Capture-DR state, the processor
loads the BSR shift register as follows:
■
■
If the current instruction is SAMPLE/PRELOAD, then the
current state of each input, output, and bidirectional pin is
loaded. A bidirectional pin is treated as an output if its
enable bit equals 1, and it is treated as an input if its enable
bit equals 0.
If the current instruction is EXTEST, then the current state
of each input pin is loaded. A bidirectional pin is treated as
an input, regardless of the state of its enable.
While in the Shift-DR state, the BSR shift register is serially
shifted toward the TDO pin. During the shift, bit 280 of the BSR
is loaded from the TDI pin.
The BSR output register is loaded with the contents of the BSR
shift register in the Update-DR state. If the current instruction
is EXTEST, the processor’s output pins, as well as those
bidirectional pins that are enabled as outputs, are driven with
their corresponding values from the BSR output register.

Bypass Register (BR). The BR is a Test Data register consisting of a
1-bit shift register that provides the shortest path between TDI
and TDO. When the processor is not involved in a test
operation, the BR can be selected by an instruction to allow the
transfer of test data through the processor without having to
serially scan the test data through the BSR. This functionality
preserves the state of the BSR and significantly reduces test
time.
The BR register is selected by the BYPASS and HIGHZ
instructions as well as by any instructions not supported by the
AMD-K6-2E processor.
TAP Instructions
The processor supports the three instructions required by the
IEEE 1149.1 standard — EXTEST, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, and
BYPASS — as well as two additional optional instructions —
IDCODE and HIGHZ.
Table 47 shows the complete set of TAP instructions supported
by the processor along with the 5-bit Instruction Register
encoding and the register selected by each instruction.

Description
Notes:
1. Following the execution of the EXTEST instruction, the processor must be reset to return to normal, non-test operation.
2. These instruction encodings are undefined on the AMD-K6-2E processor and default to the BYPASS instruction.
3. Because the TDI input contains an internal pullup, the BYPASS instruction is executed if the TDI input is not connected or open
during an instruction scan operation. The BYPASS instruction does not affect the normal operational state of the processor.
EXTEST Instruction. When the EXTEST instruction is executed,
the processor loads the BSR shift register with the current state
of the input and bidirectional pins in the Capture-DR state and
drives the output and bidirectional pins with the corresponding
values from the BSR output register in the Update-DR state.

SAMPLE/PRELOAD Instruction. The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction
performs two functions. These functions are as follows:
■
■
During the Capture-DR state, the processor loads the BSR
shift register with the current state of every input, output,
and bidirectional pin.
During the Update-DR state, the BSR output register is
loaded from the BSR shift register in preparation for the
next EXTEST instruction.
The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction does not affect the normal
operational state of the processor.
BYPASS Instruction. The BYPASS instruction selects the BR
register, which reduces the boundary-scan length through the
processor from 281 to one (TDI to BR to TDO). The BYPASS
instruction does not affect the normal operational state of the
processor.
IDCODE Instruction. The IDCODE instruction selects the DIR
register, allowing the device identification code to be shifted
out of the processor. This instruction is loaded into the IR when
the TAP controller is reset. The IDCODE instruction does not
affect the normal operational state of the processor.
HIGHZ Instruction. The HIGHZ instruction forces all output and
bidirectional pins to be floated. During this instruction, the BR
is selected and the normal operational state of the processor is
not affected.
TAP Controller State

The TAP controller state diagram is shown in Figure 82 on page
237. State transitions occur on the rising edge of TCK. The logic
0 or 1 next to the states represents the value of the TMS signal
sampled by the processor on the rising edge of TCK.

Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet
22529B/0—January 2000
The states of the TAP controller are described as follows:
Test-Logic-Reset. This state represents the initial reset state of the
TAP controller and is entered when the processor samples
RESET asserted, when TRST# is asynchronously asserted, and
when TMS is sampled High for five or more consecutive clocks.
In addition, this state can be entered from the Select-IR-Scan
state. The IR is initialized with the IDCODE instruction, and
the processor’s normal operation is not affected in this state.
Capture-DR. During the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction, the
processor loads the BSR shift register with the current state of
every input, output, and bidirectional pin. During the EXTEST
instruction, the processor loads the BSR shift register with the
current state of every input and bidirectional pin.
Capture-IR. When the TAP controller enters the Capture-IR state,
the processor loads 01b into the two least significant bits of the
IR shift register and loads 000b into the three most significant
bits of the IR shift register.
Shift-DR. While in the Shift-DR state, the selected TDR shift
register is serially shifted toward the TDO pin. During the shift,
the most significant bit of the TDR is loaded from the TDI pin.
Shift-IR. While in the Shift-IR state, the IR shift register is
serially shifted toward the TDO pin. During the shift, the most
significant bit of the IR is loaded from the TDI pin.
Update-DR. During the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction, the BSR
output register is loaded with the contents of the BSR shift
register. During the EXTEST instruction, the output pins, as
well as those bidirectional pins defined as outputs, are driven
with their corresponding values from the BSR output register.
Update-IR. In this state, the IR output register is loaded from the
IR shift register, and the current instruction is defined by the
IR output register.

12.4
L1 Cache Inhibit
The AMD-K6-2E processor provides a means for inhibiting the
normal operation of its L1 instruction and data caches while
still supporting an external level-2 (L2) cache. This capability
allows system designers to disable the L1 cache during the
testing and debug of an L2 cache.
If the Cache Inhibit bit (bit 3) of test register 12 (TR12) is 0, the
processor’s L1 cache is enabled and operates as described in
“Cache Organization” on page 185. If the Cache Inhibit bit is 1,
the L1 cache is disabled and no new cache lines are allocated.
Even though new allocations do not occur, valid L1 cache lines
remain valid and are read by the processor when a requested
address hits a cache line. In addition, the processor continues to
support inquire cycles initiated by the system logic, including
Chapter 12

239
Preliminary Information

the execution of writeback cycles when a modified cache line is
hit.
While the L1 is inhibited, the processor continues to drive the
PCD output signal appropriately, which system logic can use to
control external L2 caching.
In order to completely disable the L1 cache so that no valid
lines exist in the cache, the Cache Inhibit bit must be set to 1
and the cache must be flushed in one of the following ways:
■
■
■
■
12.5
By asserting the FLUSH# input signal
By executing the WBINVD instruction
By executing the INVD instruction (modified cache lines are
not written back to memory)
By using the Page Flush/Invalidate register (PFIR) (see
“Page Flush/Invalidate Register (PFIR)” on page 200)
Debug
The AMD-K6-2E processor implements the standard x86 debug
functions, registers, and exceptions. In addition, the processor
supports the I/O breakpoint debug extension. The debug
feature assists programmers and system designers during
software execution tracing by generating exceptions when one
or more events occur during processor execution. The exception
handler, or debugger, can be written to perform various tasks,
such as displaying the conditions that caused the breakpoint to
occur, displaying and modifying register or memory contents, or
single-stepping through program execution.
The following sections describe the debug registers and the
various types of breakpoints and exceptions that the processor
supports.

DR3–DR0. The processor allows the setting of up to four
breakpoints. DR3–DR0 contain the linear addresses for
breakpoint 3 through breakpoint 0, respectively, and are
compared to the linear addresses of processor cycles to
determine if a breakpoint occurs. Debug register DR7 defines
the specific type of cycle that must occur in order for the
breakpoint to occur.
DR5–DR4. When debugging extensions are disabled (bit 3 of CR4
is 0), the DR5 and DR4 registers are mapped to DR7 and DR6,
respectively, in order to be software compatible with previous
generations of x86 processors. When debugging extensions are

enabled (bit 3 of CR4 is 1), any attempt to load DR5 or DR4
results in an undefined opcode exception. Likewise, any
attempt to store DR5 or DR4 also results in an undefined
opcode exception.
DR6. If a breakpoint is enabled in DR7, and the breakpoint
conditions as defined in DR7 occur, then the corresponding B
bit (B3–B0) in DR6 is set to 1. In addition, any other breakpoints
defined using these particular breakpoint conditions are
reported by the processor by setting the appropriate B bits in
DR6, regardless of whether these breakpoints are enabled or
disabled. However, if a breakpoint is not enabled, a debug
exception does not occur for that breakpoint.
If the processor decodes an instruction that writes or reads DR7
through DR0, the BD bit (bit 13) in DR6 is set to 1 (if enabled in
DR7) and the processor generates a debug exception. This
operation allows control to pass to the debugger prior to debug
register access by software.
If the Trap Flag (bit 8) of the EFLAGS register is 1, the
processor generates a debug exception after the successful
execution of every instruction (single-step operation) and sets
the BS bit (bit 14) in DR6 to indicate the source of the
exception.
When the processor switches to a new task and the debug trap
bit (T bit) in the corresponding Task State Segment (TSS) is 1,
the processor sets the BT bit (bit 15) in DR6 and generates a
debug exception.
DR7. When set to 1, L3–L0 locally enable breakpoints 3 through
0, respectively. L3–L0 are cleared to 0 whenever the processor
executes a task switch. Clearing L3–L0 to 0 disables the
breakpoints and ensures that these particular debug exceptions
are only generated for a specific task.
When set to 1, G3–G0 globally enable breakpoints 3 through 0,
respectively. Unlike L3–L0, G3–G0 are not cleared to 0
whenever the processor executes a task switch. Not clearing
G3–G0 to 0 allows breakpoints to remain enabled across all
tasks. If a breakpoint is enabled globally but disabled locally,
the global enable overrides the local enable.

Debug Exceptions
A debug exception is categorized as either a debug trap or a
debug fault.
■
■
A debug trap calls the debugger following the execution of
the instruction that caused the trap.
A debug fault calls the debugger prior to the execution of the
instruction that caused the fault.
All debug traps and faults generate either an Interrupt 01h or
an Interrupt 03h exception.

Interrupt 03h. The INT 3 instruction is defined in the x86
architecture as a breakpoint instruction. This instruction
causes the processor to generate an Interrupt 03h exception.
This exception is a debug trap because the debugger is called
following the execution of the INT 3 instruction.
The INT 3 instruction is a one-byte instruction (opcode CCh)
typically used to insert a breakpoint in software by writing CCh
to the address of the first byte of the instruction to be trapped
(the target instruction). Following the trap, if the target
instruction is to be executed, the debugger must replace the
INT 3 instruction with the first byte of the target instruction.

Clock Control
Clock Control States
The AMD-K6-2E processor supports five modes of clock control.
The processor can transition between these modes to maximize
performance, to minimize power dissipation, or to provide a
balance between performance and power. (See “Power
Dissipation” on page 258 for the maximum power dissipation of
t h e A M D -K 6 -2 E p ro c e s s o r w it h in t h e n o r m a l a n d t h e
reduced-power states.)
The five clock-control states supported are:
■
Normal State—The processor is running in real mode,
virtual-8086 mode, protected mode, or system management
mode (SMM). In this state, all clocks are running— including
the external bus clock, CLK, and the internal processor
clock—and the full features and functions of the processor
are available.
■
Halt State—This low-power state is entered following the
successful execution of the HLT instruction. During this
state, the internal processor clock is stopped.
Stop Grant State—This low-power state is entered following
the recognition of the assertion of the STPCLK# signal.
During this state, the internal processor clock is stopped.
Stop Grant Inquire State—This state is entered from the
Halt state and the Stop Grant state as the result of a
system-initiated inquire cycle.
Stop Clock State—This low-power state is entered from the
Stop Grant state when the CLK signal is stopped.
■

Figure 87 on page 248 illustrates the clock control state
transitions. Each of the four reduced-power states are described

Halt State
Enter Halt State
During the execution of the HLT instruction, the AMD-K6-2E
processor executes a Halt special cycle. After BRDY# is
sampled asserted during this cycle, and then EWBE# is also
sampled asserted (if not masked off), the processor enters the
Halt state in which the processor disables most of its internal
clock distribution.
To support the following operations, the internal phase-lock
loop (PLL) continues to run, and some internal resources are
still clocked in the Halt state:
■
■
■
■
Inquire Cycles—The processor continues to sample AHOLD,
BOFF#, and HOLD to support inquire cycles that are
initiated by the system logic. The processor transitions to
the Stop Grant Inquire state during the inquire cycle. After
returning to the Halt state following the inquire cycle, the
processor does not execute another Halt special cycle.
Flush Cycles—The processor continues to sample FLUSH#.
If FLUSH# is sampled asserted, the processor performs the
flush operation in the same manner as it is performed in the
Normal state. Upon completing the flush operation, the
processor executes the Halt special cycle which indicates
the processor is in the Halt state.
Time Stamp Counter (TSC)—The TSC continues to count in
the Halt state.
Signal Sampling—The processor continues to sample INIT,
INTR, NMI, RESET, and SMI#.
After entering the Halt state, all signals driven by the processor
retain their state as they existed following the completion of
the Halt special cycle.
Exit Halt State
Chapter 13
The AMD-K6-2E processor remains in the Halt state until it
samples INIT, INTR (if interrupts are enabled), NMI, RESET, or
SMI# asserted. If any of these signals is sampled asserted, the
processor returns to the Normal state and performs the
corresponding operation. All of the normal requirements for
recognition of these input signals apply within the Halt state.

Stop Grant State
Enter Stop Grant
State
After recognizing the assertion of STPCLK#, the AMD-K6-2E
processor flushes its instruction pipelines, completes all
pending and in-progress bus cycles, and acknowledges the
STPCLK# assertion by executing a Stop Grant special bus cycle.
After BRDY# is sampled asserted during this cycle, and after
EWBE# is also sampled asserted (if not masked off), the
processor enters the Stop Grant state.
The Stop Grant state is like the Halt state in that the processor
disables most of its internal clock distribution in the Stop Grant
state.
In order to support the following operations, the internal PLL
still runs, and some internal resources are still clocked in the
Stop Grant state:
■
■
■
Inquire cycles—The processor transitions to the Stop Grant
Inquire state during an inquire cycle. After returning to the
Stop Grant state following the inquire cycle, the processor
does not execute another Stop Grant special cycle.
Time Stamp Counter (TSC)—The TSC continues to count in
the Stop Grant state.
Signal Sampling—The processor continues to sample INIT,
INTR, NMI, RESET, and SMI#.
FLUSH# is not recognized in the Stop Grant state (unlike while
in the Halt state).
Upon entering the Stop Grant state, all signals driven by the
processor retain their state as they existed following the
completion of the Stop Grant special cycle.
Exit Stop Grant State
The AMD-K6-2E processor remains in the Stop Grant state until
it samples STPCLK# negated or RESET asserted. If STPCLK#
is sampled negated, the processor returns to the Normal state in
less than 10 bus clock (CLK) periods. After the transition to the
Norm al state, the processor resumes execution at the
instruction boundary on which STPCLK# was initially
recognized.
If STPCLK# is recognized as negated in the Stop Grant state
and subsequently sampled asserted prior to returning to the

Normal state, a minimum of one instruction is executed prior to
re-entering the Stop Grant state.
If INIT, INTR (if interrupts are enabled), FLUSH#, NMI, or
SMI# are sampled asserted in the Stop Grant state, the
processor latches the edge-sensitive signals (INIT, FLUSH#,
NMI, and SMI#), but otherwise does not exit the Stop Grant
state to service the interrupt. When the processor returns to the
Normal state due to sampling STPCLK# negated, any pending
interrupts are recognized after returning to the Normal state.
To ensure their recognition, all of the normal requirements for
these input signals apply within the Stop Grant state.
If RESET is sampled asserted in the Stop Grant state, the
processor immediately returns to the Normal state and the
reset process begins.
13.4
Stop Grant Inquire State
Enter Stop Grant
Inquire State
The Stop Grant Inquire state is entered from the Stop Grant
state or the Halt state when EADS# is sampled asserted during
an inquire cycle initiated by the system logic. The AMD-K6-2E
processor responds to an inquire cycle in the same manner as in
the Normal state by driving HIT# and HITM#. If the inquire
cycle hits a modified data cache line, the processor performs a
writeback cycle.
Exit Stop Grant
Inquire State
Following the completion of any writeback, the processor
returns to the state from which it entered the Stop Grant
Inquire state.

Stop Clock State
Enter Stop Clock
State
If the CLK signal is stopped while the AMD-K6-2E processor is
in the Stop Grant state, the processor enters the Stop Clock
state. Because all internal clocks and the PLL are not running
in the Stop Clock state, the Stop Clock state represents the
minimum-power state of all clock control states. The CLK signal
must be held Low while it is stopped.
The Stop Clock state cannot be entered from the Halt state.
INTR is the only input signal that is allowed to change states
while the processor is in the Stop Clock state. However, INTR is
not sampled until the processor returns to the Stop Grant state.
All other input signals must remain unchanged in the Stop
Clock state.
Exit Stop Clock State
The AMD-K6-2E processor returns to the Stop Grant state from
the Stop Clock state after the CLK signal is started and the
internal PLL has stabilized. PLL stabilization is achieved after
the CLK signal has been running within its specification for a
minimum of 1.0 ms.
The frequency of CLK when exiting the Stop Clock state can be
different than the frequency of CLK when entering the Stop
Clock state.
The state of the BF[2:0] signals when exiting the Stop Clock
state is ignored because the BF[2:0] signals are only sampled
during the falling transition of RESET.

Power Derating Based on Lower CPU Frequencies
This section provides standard- and low-power product
specification power derating based on lower CPU frequencies.
Note: The 166-MHz and 200-MHz data provided in Table 54 and
Table 55 was derived from the standard- and low-power
AMD-K6-2E/233AFR (and AMZ) and AMD-K6-2E/266AFR
(and AMZ) products and is solely for informational
purposes. The guaranteed electrical and thermal
specification data for the AMD-K6-2E/233AFR (and AMZ)
and AMD-K6-2E/266AFR (and AMZ) is also included here
for convenience. The derating data may be of interest to
customers who want to use AMD’s standard- or low-power
devices at lower CPU frequencies. AMD does not guarantee
the 166-MHz and 200-MHz CPU frequency derating data
and does not provide devices with these lower CPU
frequencies. Only devices listed in Table 73, “Valid Ordering
Part Number Combinations,” on page 306 are available.

Power and Grounding
Power Connections
The AMD-K6-2E processor is a dual voltage device. Two
separate supply voltages are required: VCC2 and VCC3.
■
■
VCC2 provides the core voltage for the processor.
VCC3 provides the I/O voltage.
See “Electrical Data” on page 253 for the value and range of
VCC2 and VCC3.
There are 28 VCC2, 32 VCC3, and 68 VSS pins on the AMD-K6-2E
processor. (See Chapter 17, “Pin Designation Diagrams” on
page 299 for all power and ground pin designations.) The large
number of power and ground pins are provided to ensure that
the processor and package maintain a clean and stable power
distribution network.
For proper operation and functionality, all VCC2, VCC3, and VSS
pins must be connected to the appropriate planes in the circuit
board. The power planes have been arranged in a pattern to
simplify routing and minimize crosstalk on the circuit board.
The isolation region between two voltage planes must be at
least 0.254 mm if they are in the same layer of the circuit board.
(See Figure 88 on page 263.) To maintain low-impedance
current sink and reference, the ground plane must never be
split.
Although the AMD-K6-2E processor has two separate supply
voltages, there are no special power sequencing requirements.
The best procedure is to minimize the time between which VCC2
and VCC3 are either both on or both off.

Recommendations
In addition to the isolation region mentioned in “Power
Connections” on page 262, adequate decoupling capacitance is
required between the two system power planes and the ground
plane to minimize ringing and to provide a low-impedance path
for return currents. Suggested decoupling capacitor placement
is shown in Figure 88.
Surface mounted capacitors should be used as close as possible
to the processor to minimize resistance and inductance in the
lead lengths while maintaining minimal height.
For recommendations about the specific value, quantity, and
location of the capacitors illustrated in Figure 88, see the AMDK6® Processor Power Supply Design Application Note, order
#21103.

For proper operation, the following requirements for signal pin
connections must be met:

■
14.7
22529B/0—January 2000
Do not drive address and data signals into large capacitive
loads at high frequencies. If necessary, use buffer chips to
drive large capacitive loads.
Leave all NC (no-connect) pins unconnected.
Unused inputs should always be connected to an
appropriate signal level.
• Active Low inputs that are not being used should be
connected to VCC3 through a 20-kW pullup resistor.
• Active High inputs that are not being used should be
connected to GND through a pulldown resistor.
Reserved signals can be treated in one of the following ways:
• As no-connect (NC) pins, in which case these pins are left
unconnected
• As pins connected to the system logic as defined by the
industry-standard Socket 7 and Super7 interfaces
• Any combination of NC and Socket 7 pins
Keep trace lengths to a minimum.
I/O Buffer Characteristics
All of the AMD-K6-2E process or inputs , outputs, and
bidirectional buffers are implemented using a 3.3 V buffer
design. AMD has developed a model that represents the
characteristics of the actual I/O buffer to allow system
designers to perform analog simulations of AMD-K6-2E
processor signals that interface with the system logic. Analog
simulations are used to determine a signal’s time of flight from
source to destination and to ensure that the system’s signal
quality requirements are met. Signal quality measurements
include overshoot, undershoot, slope reversal, and ringing.
I/O Buffer Model
264
AMD provides a model of the AMD-K6-2E processor I/O buffer
for system designers to use in board-level simulations. This I/O
b u f f e r m o d e l c o n fo r m s t o t h e I / O B u f f er I nf o r m at i o n
Specification (IBIS). The I/O model contains voltage versus
current (V/I) and voltage versus time (V/T) data tables for
accurate modeling of I/O buffer behavior.

All data tables contain minimum, typical, and maximum
values to allow for worst-case, typical, and best-case
simulations, respectively.
The pullup, pulldown, power clamp, and ground clamp
device V/I tables contain enough data points to accurately
represent the nonlinear nature of the V/I curves. In addition,
the voltage ranges provided in these tables extend beyond
the normal operating range of the AMD-K6-2E processor for
those simulators that yield more accurate results based on
this wider range.
The rising and falling ramp rates are specified.
The min/typ/max VCC3 operating range is specified as
3.135V, 3.3V, and 3.6V, respectively.
VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V, and VMEAS = 1.5V.
The R/L/C of the package is modeled.
The capacitance of the silicon die is modeled.
The model assumes a test load resistance of 50 W.

The CLK Period Stability parameter specifies the variance
(jitter) allowed between successive periods of the CLK input
measured at 1.5 V. This parameter must be considered as one of
the elements of clock skew between the AMD-K6-2E and the
system logic.

Notes:
1. These level-sensitive signals can be asserted synchronously or asynchronously. To be sampled on a specific clock edge, setup
and hold times must be met. If asserted asynchronously, they must be asserted for a minimum pulse width of two clocks.
2. These edge-sensitive signals can be asserted synchronously or asynchronously. To be sampled on a specific clock edge, setup
and hold times must be met. If asserted asynchronously, they must have been negated at least two clocks prior to assertion and
must remain asserted at least two clocks.

Package Thermal Specifications
The AMD-K6-2E processor operating specification calls for the
case temperature (TC) to be in the range of 0°C to 70°C (for the
standard-power 2.2-V component) or 0°C to 85°C (for the lowpower 1.9-V component). The ambient temperature (TA) is not
specified as long as the case temperature is not violated. The
case temperature must be measured on the top center of the
package. Table 66 and Table 67 show the package thermal
specifications for the AMD-K6-2E processor.

Figure 99. Power Consumption v. Thermal Resistance
The thermal resistance of a heatsink is determined by the heat
dissipation surface area, the material and shape of the
heatsink, and the airflow volume across the heatsink. In
general, the larger the surface area the lower the thermal
resistance.
The required thermal resistance of a heatsink ( q SA ) can be
calculated using the following example:
If:
TC = 70°C
TA = 45°C
PMAX = 19.95 W at 350 MHz (Standard-power AMD-K6-2E/350AFR)
Then:
Ë T C – T AÛ

Preliminary Information

Thermal grease is recommended as interface material because
it provides the lowest thermal resistance (@ 0.20°C/W). The
required thermal resistance ( q SA ) of the heatsink in this
example is calculated as follows:
qSA = qCA – qIF = 1.25 – 0.20 = 1.05(°C/W)
Heat Dissipation Path
Figure 100 illustrates the heat dissipation path of the processor.
Due to the lower thermal resistance between the processor die
junction and case, most of the heat generated by the processor
is transferred from the top surface of the case. The small
amount of heat generated from the bottom side of the processor
where the processor socket blocks the convection can be safely
ignored.

Measuring Case Temperature
The processor case temperature is measured to ensure that the
t h e r m a l s o l u t i o n m e e t s t h e p ro c e s s o r ’s o p e ra t i o n a l
specification. This temperature should be measured on the top
center of the package, where most of the heat is dissipated.
Figure 101 on page 289 shows the correct location for measuring
the case temperature. The tip of the thermocouple should be
secured to the package surface with a small amount of
thermally conductive epoxy. A second location along the
thermocouple should also be secured to avoid any movement
during testing.
If a heatsink is installed while measuring, the thermocouple
must be installed into the heatsink via a small hole drilled
through the heatsink base (e.g., 1/16 of an inch). Secure the
thermocouple to the base of the heatsink by filling the small
hole with thermal epoxy, allowing the tip of the thermocouple
to protrude the epoxy and touch the top of the processor case.

Sample Heatsink Measured Data
The example measured data (provided in tables 69 through 72
and figures 105 through 108) shows case-to-ambient thermal
resistance and maximum ambient temperature for both
socketed and soldered processors using three passive heatsink
samples with different height profiles (see Table 68) and
different levels of airflow in the system. This data is based on
the following specification assumptions:
TC = 85°C = TC(MAX) for 1.9-V low-power K6-2E processors

Layout and Airflow Considerations
Voltage Regulator
A voltage regulator is required to support the lower voltage
(3.3 V and lower) to the processor. In most applications, the
voltage regulator is designed with power transistors. As a
result, additional heatsinks are required to dissipate the heat
from the power transistors. Figure 109 shows the voltage
regulator placed parallel to the processor with the airflow
aligned with the devices. With this alignment, the heat
generated by the voltage regulator has minimal effect on the
processor.
Voltage Regulator
Processor
Airflow
Figure 109. Voltage Regulator Placement
A heatsink and fan combination can deliver much better
thermal performance than a heatsink alone. More importantly,
with a fan/sink, the airflow requirements in a system design are
not as critical. A unidirectional heatsink with a fan moves air
from the top of the heatsink to the side. In this case, the best
location for the voltage regulator is on the side of the processor
in the path of the airflow exiting the fan sink (see Figure 110 on
page 296). This location guarantees that the heatsinks on both
t he pro cess or a nd t he re gula to r rece ive ade quat e ai r
circulation.

Airflow Management
in a System Design
Complete airflow management in a system is important. In
addition to the volume of air, the path of the air is also
important. Figure 111 shows the airflow in a dual-fan system.
The fan in the front end pulls cool air into the system through
intake slots in the chassis. The power supply fan forces the hot
air out of the chassis. The thermal performance of the heatsink
can be maximized if it is located in the shaded area, where it
receives greatest benefit from this air exchange system.

Figure 112 shows the airflow management in a system using the
ATX form-factor. The orientation of the power supply fan and
the motherboard are modified in the ATX platform design. The
power supply fan pulls cool air through the chassis and across
the processor. The processor is located near the power supply
fan, where it can receive adequate airflow without an auxiliary
fan. The arrangement significantly improves the airflow across
the processor with minimum installation cost.
