Symbol
Type
Name and Function
LINT0/INTR
I
If the APIC is enabled, this pin is
local interrupt 0
. If the APIC is disabled, this pin
is INTR.
LINT1/NMI
I
If the APIC is enabled, this pin is
local interrupt 1
. If the APIC is disabled, this pin
is NMI.
LOCK#
O
The
bus lock
pin indicates that the current bus cycle is locked. ThePentium
processor with MMX technology will not allow a bus hold when LOCK# is asserted
(but AHOLD and BOFF# are allowed). LOCK# goes active in the first clock of the
first locked bus cycle and goes inactive after the BRDY# is returned for the last
locked bus cycle. LOCK# is guaranteed to be de-asserted for at least one clock
between back-to-back locked cycles.
M/IO#
O
The
memory/input-output
is one of the primary bus cycle definition pins. It is
driven valid in the same clock as the ADS# signal is asserted. M/IO# distinguishes
between memory and I/O cycles.
NA#
I
An active
next address
input indicates that the external memory system is ready
to accept a new bus cycle although all data transfers for the current cycle have
not yet completed. The Pentium processor with MMX technology will issue ADS# for
a pending cycle two clocks after NA# is asserted. The Pentium processor with MMX
technology supports up to 2 outstanding bus cycles.
NMI/LINT1
I
The
non-maskable interrupt
request signal indicates that an external non-maskable
interrupt has been generated.
If the local APIC is enabled, this pin becomes LINT1.
PBGNT#
I/O
Private bus grant
is the grant line that is used when two Pentium processors with
MMX technology are configured in dual processing mode, in order to perform
private bus arbitration. PBGNT# should be left unconnected if only one Pentium
processor with MMX technology exists in a system.
PBREQ#
I/O
Private bus request
is the request line that is used when two Pentium processor
with MMX technology are configured in dual processing mode, in order to perform
private bus arbitration. PBREQ# should be left unconnected if only one Pentium
processor with MMX technology exists in a system.
PCD
O
The
page cache disable
pin reflects the state of the PCD bit in CR3, the Page
Directory Entry, or the Page Table Entry. The purpose of PCD is to provide an
external cacheability indication on a page by page basis.
PCHK#
O
The
parity check
output indicates the result of a parity check on a data read. It is
driven with parity status two clocks after BRDY# is returned. PCHK# remains low
one clock for each clock in which a parity error was detected. Parity is checked
only for the bytes on which valid data is returned.
When two Pentium processors with MMX technology are operating in dual
processing mode, PCHK# may be driven two or three clocks after BRDY# is
returned.
