General Register Addressing
The general register address modes use one or more general registers, depending on the instruction
and data type, or information required to locate the operand(s) to be lised by the specifi~d
instruction.
Register mode-:-.The operand is contained in one of the general registers (Rn).
Register deferred mode-Register Rn contains the address of the operand.
Autoinaement mode........ Register Rn contains the address of the operiU1d. After the operand address
is determined, the size of the operand in bytes is detertninedby its data type and is added to the
contents of register Rn and the result is placed in register Rn.
AutoinC1'ement deferred mode-Register Rn contains a longword address that points to the
operand address. After the operand address has been determined, the number four is added to the
contents of Rn and the result is so tred in Rn.
Autodeaement mode-The size of the operand ,in· bytes is determined by its data type and is
subtracted from the contents of Rn and the result is stored in Rn. The updated, content of register
Rn is the address of the operand.
Literal mode-Literal mode addressing provides an efficient means of specifyingioteger constants
in the range of from 0 to 63 (decimal). In addition to short integer literals, this mode can be used to
specify floating-point literals. The value is contained in the operand specifier.
Displacement mode-The displacement contairied in' the operatid specifier, after being signextended to.32 bits if it is a byte or word, is added t() the contents otregister Rn,and the result is
the operand address.
.
Displacement deferred mode-The displacement contained in the operand specifier, after being
sign-extended to 32 bits if it is a byte or word, is added to the contents of register Rn, and the result
is the operand address.
Confidential and Proprietary
Index mode-The Qperandspecifier consistS of two bytes or more, a primary operand specifier and
a base Operand specifier. The primary operand specifier,contained in bits 0 fhro~ 7, iucludes the
,index regi£tet(Rx)and a modespecmer of4. The address of the primary opemndisdetermined by
multiplying the contents of index ~ter Rx by the sWeof the primary operand in bytes which is
determined byc>pC!ran4 type~ Thisyalue is then added 1)) the ~dress spet;ified by the b$C operand
specifier (bits 15 through 8), and the n;s9;lt'is the pp~ryqpeliand addtess.
Program Counter Addressing
Register 15 is used as the program counter (PC). It can also be usedin.·th~a~i03;rqodes,l'he

Relative deferred mode-This mode is similar to the relative mode except that the displacement,
which follows the addressing mode, is added to the PC and the sum is the longword address of the
operand.

• Instruction S~t
A summary of the VAX instructions implemented by the MicroVAX 78032, the floating-point
instructions supported by the SOating.point unit, and the emulated instrQctionsthat are assisted
by the microcode are listed in Appendix A..
Operand Type
The operand type specifies the use of the operand that is associated with an instruction. The
apcode includes the data type of each eperand and the method of acce:;s as follows:
1. Read-The specified operand is ready-only.
2. Write-The specified operand is write-only.
3. Modify-The specified operand is read, may be modified, and is written.
4. Address-Address ddculation occurs Until tHe address of the . operand is obtained. In this
mode, the data type indicates the operand size to be used in address calculation. The specified
operand is not accessed directly; however, the instruction may use the address to access that
operand.

. Memory Management
The mem9ry management. unit provides. a. flexible and efficient virtual memory programming
environment. Memory management and the operating system provide paging with user control
and swapping. It also provides four hierarchical modes-:-kernel1 executive, superyiso,r, and user,
with ~ad/write.access control for each mode.
The VMS Virtual MeU1QrySystem provides a large address SPace and allows programs to tun with
smail memory configurations. Programs are executed ina process environment. Each process can
.
operate with an address space of 4-billion bytes.
VIrtual Address Space .
Memory management divides the virtual address space into two spaces of.equal size-the system
space and the process space. The process space is divided into PO and PI regions. Figure IOshows
'the virtual address space assignments.

A virtual acldress witllbit J 1 s.,t to 0 is an adpress in the process vil'tl,lal address space. The process

the address is in regionpO. If virtual address bit 30 is settol, the address ism region PL
PO region addreSs transIation~ The pO region ofptocess address space is specified by the PO page
table (POPT). The'POPT is located in system virtual address and its location and length are defined
by the PO base register (POBR) and the PO length register (POLR), Figure 17. The POBR contains the
system virtual address of the PO page table. The POLR contains the size of the POPT in longworos,
that is, the number of page table entries. The page table entry pointed to by the PO base register
maps the first page of the fO region of the virtual
address space, that is,

Memory Management Faults
The two types of fawts ~sociated with memory mapping and.protection are translation not valid
and access control violation. An access con;trpl violation fault exists when the protection field of
the PTE indicates that. the intended page reference in the specified access mode is illegal. A
tran$1ation not-valid fault exists when a read .or write reference is attempted through an invalid
PTE. If ~ access control violation and a translation not-valid faults occur, the access control takes
precedence .
• Exceptions and Interrupts
During system operation, events that are not related to the current process can require service.
These events cause the processor to interrupt the process being executed and transfer control to a
program that will service the event.
An exception is the notification of an event that is relevant to the currently executing process and
normally invokes a program in the context of the executing process.
An interrupt is the notification of an event that is relevant to other processes or to the system and is
serviced in a system wide context. The system wide context is defined as executing on the interrupt
stack. The priority associated with the interrupt is the interrupt priority level. (IPL).
Interrupt Priority Levels
The VAX architecture includes 31 priority interrupt levels. Fifteen levels (1 through F hexadecimal)
are software related and 16 levels (10 through IF hexadecimal) are hardware related. Table 13 lists
the interrupt priority level assignments for the MicroVAX 78032.

Interrupt Requests
Interrupt requests are serviced during the execution of long interactive instructions such as string
instructions and at the completion of an instruction.
Urgent interrupts-....Interrupt levellE (hexadecimal) indicates a powerfail condition and requires
immediate service in the MicroVAX 78032.
Device internlpts-Interrupts 14 through 17 (hexadecimal) are assigned to the peripheral devices
operating with the MicroVAX 78032.
Software interrupts-Interrupts 1 throughF are used by the MitroVAX 78032 system to generate
.
software controlled interrupts.
.
Interrupt Registers
The interrupt system is controlled by the int~ptpri¢rity level register (IPL) , the software
interrupt request register (SIRR), and the soft~interruPt'~ary register (SISR).

- Interfacing Requirements
The MicroVAX 78032 connects to memory, to external circuits, and to the powef&Ql.lrcethrougb
the connection pins on the package. The .following p~phs~inethe power,reset, and bus
connections and describe .the timing considerations for hLlSQpe~tion.
Power Connections
The MicroVAX 78032 requires a single 5 Vdc power supply. Eight pins are provided for power
connections; four VDD pins and four Vss pins. The VOD pins connect to 5 V and the Vss pins connect
to ground. The power decoupling and grounding is important. Decoupling the power supply is
implemented by connecting a capacitor between each VDD pin and its associated Vss pin as shown in
Figure 27. The recommended capacitor type is 10 I!f tantalum, + 1, -10%. The ground pins (Vss)
should be connected to the common ground for the power supply at the chip.
The MicroVAX 78032 internally generates the required negative voltage that is externally available
on the VBB pin. This voltage does not require filtering and the VBB pin must not be connected either
to ground or to 5 V.

Reset and Powerup Requirements
The MicroVAX 78032 is reset by the following conditions.
1. When power is first applied, the RESET level must be held low for a minimum of 3.0 ms after
Voo has reached 4.75 V. To ensure that the internal voltages are stable before an operation
begins.
2. The RESET level must be held low for a minimum of 3.0 ~s if the RESET level is asserted after
VOD has been at 4.75 V for more than 3.0 ms.
When RESET level is asserted, the MicroVAX 78032 stops executing instrucdonsand enters the
restart process. The restart process sets the CPU to a known state and then passes control to user
code beginning at physical address 20040000 (hexadecimal). For a description of the restart
process, refer to the MicroVAX 78032 Central Processing Unit User's Guide.
Bus Connections
Figure 28 shows a typical interface configuration of the MicroVAX 78032 and includes control
signals and bus connections. The directions of the input and output signal are indicated by the
arrows on the lines.

The first microcycle of a CPU write operation is used to transfer the address and control
information and the valid data is written during the second microcycle.
The sequence of events for a CPU write operation follows:
1. The physical (longword) address is driven onto DAL < 29:02> and the memory operand length
.
is onto DAL<31:30> by the CPU.
2. The WR signal is asserted and CS <2:0> lines are asserted as required.

5. The DBE signal is asserted and can be used to control the DAL bus transceivers.
6. The CPU drives data onto the DAL bus and asserts the DS signal to indicate that the data is valid.
7. If the data can be read during the next microcycle, the external logic asserts the RDY signal and
the following microcycle is the last for this bus cycle. If the RDY signal is not asserted by the end
of the current microcycle, the bus cycle will be extended by one microcyde.
If a bus error occurs, external logic responds by asserting the ERR signal and the CPU initiates a
machine check. The ERR signal takes precedence over the RDY signal.
The assertion of either the RDY or ERR signals results in the completion of the current bus cycle.

Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle
An interrupt acknowledge cycle is used to acknowledge an interrupt request from an I/O device,
and to read a vector. The structure of this cycle is the same as a CPU read cycle shown in Figure 30.
The first microcycle of an interrupt acknowledge cycle is used totransfe;1.' the interrupt priority level
(IPL) that is being acknowledged and the interrupt vector from the interrupting: device is latched
into the CPU during the last microcycle.
The sequence of events for an interrupt acknowledge cycle is as follows:
1. The CPU places the IPL of the interrupt being acknowledged on DAL<04:00>.
OAL<29:05> lines are zero and the DAL<31:.30> lines are =10.
2. Lines CS < 2:0 > are asserted to indicate an interrupt acknowledge cycle .
.3 . Lines BM < .3 :0 > are all asserted and the WR signal is unasserted.
4. The AS signal is asserted to indicate that the IPL level on the OAL < 04:00 > lines is valid.
5. The OS is aSserted to indicate that the bus can receive incoming data. The DBE signal is also
asserted at this time and can be used to control the DAL bus transceivers.
6. If no error occurs, the· external logic responds by placing the interrupt vector on the
OAL < 09:02 > lines the normal Q-bus processing flag on OAL < 00 >, and by asserting the
ROY signal. The OAL < 15:10,01 > lines mustbe a high or low level in aceqrOancew,iththesetup

• Memory Access ProlDcol
The 28-bit address provided by the MicroVAX 78032 on DAL < 29:02> is a longword address that
uniquely identifies one of up to 268,435,456 32-bit memory locations. The chip provides four-byte
masks, BM < 3:0>, to select byte accesses within the 32-bit memory locations. No restrictions
exist on data alignment. The data may start at any memory address except for the aligned operands
of ADAWI instruction and the interlocked queue instructions.
The memory consists of four parallel 8-bit banks, each of which receive the longword address on
the DAL<29:02> lines in parallel. Each bank reads or writes one byte of the data bus
(DAL<31:00», when its byte mask signal is asserted as shown in Figure 35.

CPU read or write operations are grouped into one of the following categories-byte access, word
access within a longword, word access across longwords, aligned longword acceSs, and unaligned
longword access. Quadword accesses are treated as two successive longword accesses, with no
optimization. Byte accesses, word accesses within a longword, and aligned longward accesses
require one bus cycle. Unaligned longword acCesses and word accesses that cross a longword
boundary require two bus cycles.

. External Processor Protocols
External processor protocols allow the MicroVAX 78032 to communicate efficiently with one or
more external processors. Two external processor protocols exist-one for communicating with the
optional floating-point unit and the second for communicating with processor register logic.
Floating-Point Unit Protocols
The optional floating-point unit (FPU) is coa.trolled by the CPU. When the CPU receives afloatingpoint instruction, it passes the opcode and operands to the FPU for processing. The CPU waits for
the FPU to complete the operation and then requests status information and the processing results.
The FPU protocol is as follows:
1. Command transfer-The CPU performs an external processor write cycle to ttansmit a
command to the FPU. During this cycle, the CS contains 00 indicating a FPU command
and the opcode of the floating-point instruction is placed on the DAL < 08:00 > lines.
2. Operand transfer-The VAX opcode determines the number and data type of operands to be
transferred from the CPU to the FPU. The CPU performs one or more external processor write
cycles to transfer the operands. During these cycles, the CS < 1:0> lines are equal to 01 (data
ttansfer), and the DAL< 31:00 > lines contain the data to be transferred.
Confidential and Proprietary
1-43
Preliminary
MicroVAX'78032
3. Operand processing-While the FPU.is processing the operands, the CPU checks to determine
.where the operation is completed by executing extemalprocessor response enable cycles.
4. Status transfer-When ·the. FPU has finished processing the operands, it ·responds to the next
external processor response enable cycle by placing status information on the DAL<05:00>
lines and by driving the CS2 bus low. The CPU responds to the CS2 low signal by reading the
status information on the DAL < 05 :00> lines.
5. Result transfer-After reading the status code, the CPU may initiate one or more external
processor read cycles to transfer the result operand(s). During these cycles, the CS < 1:0> lines
are equal to 01 (data transfer), and the DAL<31:00> lines contain the data to be transferred.
The VAX opcode determines the number and data type of the operand(s) to be transferred from
the FPU to the CPU.
Register Protocols
The external processor register protocol permits the external logic to implement processor register
functions that are a part of the MicroVAX architecture but are not implemented in the hardware of
the MicroVAX 78032. Refer to Table 16 for the processor registers implemented by the MicroVAX
78032. The following CPU protocols are used with a move from processor register (MFPR) or move
to processor register (MTPR) instruction to access a register not contained in the CPU.
Read from processor register-The read from processor sequence is shown in Figure 36. This
sequence is performed when an MFPR instruction is used to read data from processor registers 25
through 39,48 through 55, or 59 through 61. The protocol is as follows:
,
1. The CPU initiates an external processor write cycle to specify the register number. During this
cycle, the CS < 1:0> lines equal 10 to indicate to a non-FPU command, the DAL < 31 > lines
equal 1 (read register), and the DAL<05:00> lines contain the register number specified by the
MFPR instruction.
2. The CPU waits one cycle and then executes an external processor response cycle to read
the register data. If the CS2 line is driven low by the external logic, the data on the
DAL<31:00> lines is the result of the MFPR instruction. If the CS2line is high, the CPU
returns zero as the result.

o (write register), and the DAL lines contain the register number specified by the
MTPR instruction.
2. The CPU executes an external processor write cycle to write the register data. During this.-cycle,

ac Electrical Characteristics
The input and output signal timing parameters for the MicroVAX 78032 is shown in Figures 38
through 43.
The following notes apply to Figures 38 through 42 and their associated timing tables.
1. Formulas for the timing parameters are stated in terms of the CLK! period. CLKl
period = top =P.
2. All times are in nanoseconds except where noted.
3. The ac characteristics are measured with a purely capacitive load of 100 pF. Times are valid for
loads of up to 100 pF on all pins.
4. ac hlgh levels are measured at 2.0 volts and aclow levels at 0.8 volts except for the BPS and TEST
signals.
5. An ac hlgh level for the EPS and TEST signals are measured at2.2 volts and an ac low level at 0.6
volts.
6. S = the number of microcycles slipped during a bus cycle.
7. The sampling window is used to sample the following asynchronous signals: RDY, ERR, and
DMR. The RDY and ERR signals are qualified when AS is asserted. The DMR signal is qualified
by the AS signal being deasserted. The effect of these signals on the current bus cycle is as
follows:

• The bus cycle will conclude at the end of the current microcycle if the RlSY signal is asserted. and
the E'[R signal is not asserted throughout the sampling window while the AS sigr$lisasserted.
• If the ERR signal is asserted throughout the sampling window while the AS signal is asserted, the
current microcycle becomes an extension cycle and the bus cycle ends after the .next microgcle.
• If the RDY or ERR signals go through a transi~>duringtheS4.U1lplingwindowwhile.theAS

external processor bus cydes.ftindicatesto the FPU thanheinformation on the CS < 1:0> and
WR lines is valid. Refer to the "Bus Cycles Description" discussion for more information on CPUr
FPU bus cycles.
For reset operations, the FPU uses the first assertion of the EPS cycle following the assertion of the
RESET signal to synchronize itself with the CPU.
Write (WR)-The WR signal is an input from tqe MicroVAX CPU that specifies the direction of
data flow between the CPU and FPU on the DAL<31:00> lines. When WR is asserted, data is
being transferred from the CPU to the FPU.
System Control
Reset (RESiIT)-External logic asserts the RESET signal to synchronize the FPU and the
MicroVAX CPU. The assertion of RESET causes the CPU to perform a number of EPS cycles. The
first external processor (EPS) cycle synchronizes the FPU and CPU. The remaining EPS cycles are
used to verify the presence of the FPU in the system.
Control Status (CS < 2:0> )-The CS lines p1'OVide status information about the current bus cycle.
The CS< 1:0> lines are inputs to the FPU that specify the type of information being transferred.
CS < 1:0> are valid inputs only when the EPS signal is asserted. The WR signal further qualifies
the type of bus cycle, as summarized in Table 2. Refer to the "Bus Cycle Descriptions" section for
more information on the types of bus cycles.

• MicroVAX 78132 FPU Instruction Set
The MicroVAX 78132 FPU instruction set consists of floating-point instructions, integer multiplication instructions, and integer division instructions. Refer to Appendix A for a summary listing of
the FPU instruction set.
Floating-Point Instructions
The FPU opcode is a nine-bit code for an FPU instruction derived from the opcode of the original
instruction fetched by the MicroVAX CPU. The opcode for a G.,...floating instruction is the original
instruction preCeded by a 1. The opcode for an instruction that is not of extended range
(GJIoating) is the originalinstruction preceded by a O.
The MOV, MNEG, and TST floating-point instructions are marked with an asterisk to indicate that
they are implemented entirely within the MicroVAX CPU. In a system without an FPU, the CPU
performs a reserved operand fault if an attempt is made to execute these instructions.
The MicroVAX FPU treats a two-operand instruction the same way it treats the corresponding
three-operand instruction. The MicroVAX CPU handles the differences in processing these
instructions.
The POLY instruction is implemented as a continuous, interruptible instruction. The MicroVAX
FPU assists the CPU by performing floating-point addition and multiplication operations. After
each step of the polynomial calculation, an intermediate result is returned to the MicroVAX CPU
and a new coefficient is passed to the FPU. (No new command is issued to process this coefficient
during normal operation.) A new intermediate result is then computed. If the CPU is interrupted, it
can restart the POLY instruction by reissuing the POLY command and sending the most recent
intermediate result, the argument, and the current coefficient.
Integer Multiplication Instructions
The MicroVAX FPU can perform signed integer multiplication. The MicroVAX CPU uses this
capability to accelerate the execution speed ofthe following instructions. Refer to Appendix A for
the format and exceptions of the signed integer instructions executed by the MicroVAX FPU.

During MicroVAX FPU integer multiplication
• The FPU performs a 32 by 32-bit signed multiplication.
• The FPU in all cases returns a 64-bit result.
• The exception code is zero and the condition codes are unpredictable.
Integer Division Instructions
The MicroVAX FPU can perform unsigned integer division. The MicroVAX CPU uses this
capability to accelerate the execution speed of the following instructions. Refer to Appendix A for
the format and exceptions of the unsigned integer division instructions executed by the MicroVAX
CPU.

Preliminary
External processor data write-An external processor data write cycle is performed when the CPU
has data to write to the FPU. This type of cycle lasts f01.ir·clock periQds. The sequence of events is
• The CPU drives cycle-status information on lines CS<1:0> (CS<:1:0> =01 for this type of
cycle) and asserts the EPS and WR signals.
.
• The CPU drives the data on the DAL< 31:00> bus and deasserts th~EPS andWR lines.
• TheFPU responds to the deassertion of the EPS signal by reading the data on the DAL < 31:00 >
bus, and the cycle ends.
N'on-FPU command write-A non-FPU command write cycle is perform,ed when the CPU has an
instruction or command for a processing unit other than the FPU. The sequence of events is
• The CPU drives cycle-statusinfQrmation on lines CS< 1:0> (CS < 1:0> = 10 for this type of
cycle) and asserts the EPS and WR signals.
• The FPU initializes itself, suspends its operation, and disables its outputs so that it cannot
respond to an external processor data read cycle or an external processol" response enable cycle
until an external processor command write cycle for the FPU has been initiated.
External processor iesportse. enable-An external processofresponse enable cycle is performed
when the CPU is ready to accept the result of Some operation from the CPU. The sequence of events is
• The CPU drives cycle-status information on lines CS < 1:0> (CS < 1:0> = 11 for this type of
cycle), asserts the EPS signal, and puts the CS2line in the high-impedance state. 'fP.e WR signal is
not asserted because this is not a write cycle.
.
.
.
• When die FPU completes its current instruction, it drives status information on the DAL bus and
pulls line CS21ow.
• The CPU reads the information and deasserts the 'Ei5'S ~ignal to end the cycle.
CPU/FPU. General Protocol
The communicap,on protocol between the CPU and the FPU is grouped into five categoriescommand transfer, operand transfer, operand processing, status transfer, and result transfer. The
following paragraphs describe each transfer. .
. .
Command transfer-The CPU initiates an interaction with the FPU by performing an external
processor command write cycle. The CPU drives a command (an instruction opcode) on the DAL·
bus, drives a status code on lines CS < 1:0> , and asserts the BPS andWR signals.
Although the DAL<.31:00> bus is driven with a command (in this case an instruction opcode)
during the external processor command write cyde, only DAL< 08:00:> is significant to the FPU.
Figure j shows the FPU command format and able 4 describes the bit functions.

o
If the EXC CODE is not 7 after a floating-to-integer conversion instruction, the condition codes
associated with the instruction are unpredictable and must be determined by the CPU. Integer
multiply and divide instructions always return unpredictable condition codes (that is, in the FN,
FZ, and BR fields) and set the EXC CODE field to 7.
Result ttansfe:r-The CPU performs one or more external processor data read cycles to read a result
from the FPU. During one of.these cycles, lines CS =01 and the DAL<31:00> bus
contains the read data. After the result transfer, the CPU and FPU are free for the 'next transaction.
The following rules apply to result transfers from the FPU to the CPU:
in
• Integer results-An integer result is transferred one external processor data read cyCle. If the
integer is a byte, it appears on DAL<07:00> with unpredictable data on DAL< 31:08>. If the
integer is a word, it appears on DAL < 15:00> with unpredictable data on DAL < 31:16 >. For
integer multiplication, two 32-bit transfers are necessary to return the entire result.
• Floating-point results-An F.J1oating operand is transferred in orieexternal processor data read
cycle. A D..Jloating or G_floating opemnd is transferred in two co.nsecutive external processor
data read cycles; bits < 31:00 > are transferred during the first cycle; and bits < 63:32 >, during
the second cycle.
'
• Overflow and underflow-In integer overflow cases, the FPU always returns the low-order bits of
the true integer result; in floating underflow cases, the FPU always returns a zero result.
• CMPx instruction results-CMPD, CMPF, and CMPG do not cause a result to be generated by the
FPU, but the CPU will request one. The FPU returns a meaningless result that the CPU ignores.

lines (DAL < 1.5 :00 > )-These lines are bidirectional and are· used to transfer
address and data between the VIC and the CPU. During internal VIC register access cycles, when
the CSEL line is asserted, the DAL < 15 :00> lines transfer data to and from the internal registers.
During interrupt acknowledge cycles, if the IAKEI input is asserted and the VIC has a pending
interrupt at the level being acknowledged, the VIC places one of its interrupt vector registers on the
DAL < 15:00> lines or assert the external vector control signal (XVEC). When the XVEC signal is
asserted, the interrupting device must then supply a vector. During interrupt acknowledge cycles,
the DAL < 15 :00> lines are driven only when the IAKEI input is asserted, the IAKEON output is
deasserted, and the XVE bit in the interrupt vector register is cleared. The DAL < 15:00> lines are
otherwise in a high-impedance state.
Data!Address
Address strobe (AS)-When asserted, this signal latches the information on the DAL < 06:00 > ,
CS < 2:0 >, and the WR lines into the VIC. This information is used internally to latch the
PIRQ < 15 :00> line information for the duration of a read or interrupt acknowledge bus cycle that
accesses the VIC.
Data strobe (DS)- This signal is used by the VIC for data timing during internal register access
cycles and interrupt acknowledge cycles. When writing to one of the internal registers, the
assertiono£ this signal strobes the DAL < 15: 00 > line data into the selected register. When reading
an internal register, the assertion of this signal is used to transfer the contents of the selected
register onto the DAL< 15:00> lines. When responding to an interrupt acknowledge cycle, the
assertion of this signal is used to transfer the contents of the appropriate interrupt vector register
ontotheDAL<15:00> lines.
Write (WR)- This signal indicates whether the current bus cycle is a read or a write cycle. This
signal is used with the CS < 2:0 > inputs to decode the type of bus cycle in progress and to access
, internal registers to determine whether the operation is a read or write operation. The WR input is
asserted for write cycles and is deasserted for read or interrupt acknowledge bus cycles.
Control status (CS < 2: 0 > )-These lines and the WR input are decoded to determine the presence
of a read, write, or interrupt acknowledge bus cycle. The bus cycle selections are listed in Table 2.

Interrupt Inter:faee Signals
Peripheral interrupt request (PIRQ < 15:00 > )-These input lines are used by peripheral circuits
to request an interrupt .. When one.or ·1llOre of these linesal'e asserted ~nd the interrupts are
enabled, .the VIC will assert the appropriateIlQline(s). Mj!.pping between each PIRQIine and the
IRQ line is programmable by softwarethaughthe IRQ Map registers. The interrupt request .can, be
sensed by a signal level or edge or by the signal polarity. The sensing is programmable by the user.
Unused PIRQ lines must. be connected to a valid logic level.
Interrupt request (IRQ < 3:0> )-One or more of these lines will. be asserted by the.VIC when a
PIRQ line is asserted and the interrupts are enabled. The IRQ Map registers determine which IRQ
line is asserted for a particular PIRQ line. An IRQ line will bedeassert¢d when all pending
interrupts mapped to that IRQ line have been serviced. These)~u'¢open drain (pulldown} outputs
that require external pullup resistors.
Interrupt acknowledge (iAC'K)-This signal is a result of decoding the CS<2:0> and the WR
lines and will be asserted for all interrupt acknowledge cycles. The signal isnotaffect:ed by the
interrupt acknowledge daisYc:hain $ignaIs. It allows the ~ternal)ogic to disable the memory

respond to the current interrupt acknowledge bus cycle. This signal should be connected to a
ground reference if the VIC is the highest priority device in the daisychain.

Interrupt ackl'lOwledge enable >QUt lUgh (L\KEOP)- This Qutput and the IAKEON eutput are
cennected to the IAKEI pin of the next lowest device in the interrupt daisychain. The IAKEOP
output is normally an active high pullup. However, when the IAKEI signal is asserted and the VIC
has no. pending interrupts at the level being acknewledged, the IAKEOP eutput is a highimpedance. If the VIC is the lowest-priority device in the daisychain, this line is not cennected to
another device. This is an open drain, pullup output that cannot be pulled low. For daisychain
operation, the pulldown function is performed by the lAKE ON line.
Interrupt ackl'lowledge enable out low/error low (IAKEON)-This is an open drain pulldown
output that is used to either pull down the next IAKEI level in a daisychain application, or pull
down the ERR input to the CPU if this VIC is the last (or enly) device in the daisychain. The
IAKEON line is normally in a high-impedance state. However, when the IAKEI signal is asserted
and the VIC has no. pending interrupts at the level being acknowledged, theIAKEON signal is
asserted. The VIC asserts this signal if PIRQ line is in level mode and the interrupting device
removes its request before the interrupt is acknowledged. The level sensitive inputs are not stored
bithe VIC. Therefore, the PIRQ line that was asserted cannot be used to determine the Vector to
return to the CPU. This output is a high current open drain output.
Miscellaneous Signals
Chip select (CSEL)-This signal, when asserted, enables read/write operations to. the internal
registers.
Reset (RESET)~This signal,' when asserted, sets all the internal registers to a known value except
fer the interrupt vector (IVEe) and IRQ map (IMAP) registers. The contents of the IVEe and lMAP
registers are unknown. The interrupts are disabled and the DAL<15:00> lines become a high
impedance.
Clock (CLK)-This signal is used to gene'rate the internal time states within the VIC. Any escillator
that meets the input requirements of CLK signal may be used.

• Functional De$Crl.ption
The VIC may be connected directly to the CPU bus or to. a buffered I/O bus. It accepts up to 16
priority interrupt requests (PIRQ < 15:00» from peripheral devices and it drives an associated
IRQ line to the CPU. The mapping between the VIC PIRQ lines and CPU IRQ lines is
programmable. The VIC decodes the presence of a CPU interrupt acknowledge (lACK) cycle on the
bus and monitors the interrupt prierity level of the interrupt being acknowledged. It will respond
to. the IACK cycle by transferring the appropriate user programmed vector on lines DAL < 15 :00 > .
The CPU uses the vector as an effset into. the system centrol bleck (SCB) to. lecate the starting
address of the interrupt routine.
A daisychain wiring scheme enables the user to connect more than one VIC tegether so. as to
expand the int~rrUpt handling capability from that of a single VIC. This scheme is compatible with
the daisychain scheme used bY' the other peripheral interfaces.
A peripheral device requests service by asserting one of the PIRQ lines. When the VIC detects the
PIRQ line that has been enabled, it reflects the assertien of the line in the pending summary
register (PSR) bit that corresponds to that PIRQ line. The IRQ output, programmed by the user for
that PIRQ, will also be asserted to indicate to the CPU the interrupt condition at the specified IPL

level. The CPU will respond with an interrupt acknowledge cycle that contains the priority levd of
the interrupt beingackoowledged; The VIC then decodes the lACK cycle and IPL line information
and ifthe VIC ~eneratedthe interrupt and the lAKEl (daisychain input) signal is asserted, it selects
the vector of the nextPIRQ to be serviced for that IPL level. It then places that vector on the
DAL< 15:00> lines. If the VIC did not request the interrupt, it asserts the IAKEON (daisychain
output) signal to allow the next devices in the daisy chain to be serviced. When the VIC is
responding to an interrupt, it holds the. fAKEON line from be~I1& asserted to prevent devices in the
daisychain that have a lower priority from responding,
Registers
The VIC contains 16 interrupt vector registers andBcinterrupt control registers that allow each
request to be individually configured by software,' The internalVIC registers, shown in Figure 3,
are accessible by the CPU and are used by software to cOIlfigutethe operation of the VIC. Each
register consists of 16-bits and is located on a longword boundary. The base address is determined
by external address decode logic. Direct access to the VIC registers is enabled when the CSEL signal
is asserted and the VIC decodes the address on the DAL < 06:09> lines to select the register to be
accessed.
.
.
NOI'E: Only word access to the lower 16-bits of thelongwordare allowed to transfer data between
the CPU and the VIC. Byte accesses and longword accesses are not allowed. Longword
access may result in the CPU reading the incorrect data or lost data during a write cycle.

Level-sensitive inputs allow more than one device to be connected to a single PIRQ line by using a
wired NOR structure. Once the correct polarity level is detected by the VIC, the corresponding
interrupt pending bit is setin the pending summary register (PSR). The interrupt pending bit will
remain set until the PIRQ line is cleared. Therefore, an interrupt acknowledge cycle from the CPU
will not clear the interrupt pending bit in the PSR register until the PIRQ line is deasserted. If a
wired NOR structure is used, a external pullup resistors is required pn the PIRQ line.
Edge sensitive inputs detect either a high-to-Iow (falling edge) or low-to-high (rising edge)
transition. When the correct transition is detected, the corresponding bit in the PSR register will be
set .. The VIC will clear the bit when the interrupt is seryicedllPd will not recognize another

Figure 6· MicroVAX 78518 Pending Summary Register Format
The VIC manages the setting and clearing the PSR register bits for level and edge sensitive PIRQ
inputs as follows. When the RESET input is asserted, the PSR register is cleared .
• For level sensitive PlRQ inputs, thecdrresponding .PSR bit will be set· when the PIRQ line is
asserted and cleared when line is deasserted .
• For edge sensitive PlRQ inputs, the corresponding PSR bit is set on the asserting edge of thePtRQ
input. The PSR bit for a PIRQ input will be cleared by an 1nterrupt.acknowledge cycle that
acknowledges the interrupt request of the corresponding PIRQline, when .the software clears the
PSR bit by writing a zero into the appropriate bit, or when in£ormatioriis written into the LE
register.
Interrupt Enable register-The interrupt enable (lEN) register is used to enable or disable the
reporting of interrupts to the CPU by each PIRQ line. When a bit is set, it allows an interrupt
request from the associated PIRQ line to generate an interrupt to the CPU. When a bitis clear, the
associated PIRQ line is prevented from generating an interrupt to the CPU, The register format is
shown in Figure 7..

The lEN register enables or disables the generating of an interrupt to the CPU and does not affect
the detection of interrupts by the VIC. When a PIRQ line is asserted, the corresponding bit in the

VECTOR (PIRQ interrupt vector}-This vector is the offset into the system
control block (SCB) for the location of the interrupt routine.
01
XVE (External vector enable)-When set, the DAL< 15:00> line drivers are
disabled and the XVEC line is asserted during an lACK t)'de, indicating that an
external vector is to be supplied. When clear, the VIC will drive the contents of
the IVEC register onto the DAL< 15:00> lines during an lACK cycle.

QFLG (Normal/Q-bus processing flag)-When set, this bit forces the interrupt
priority line of the CPP to priority IPL17 when servicing the interrupt. When
clear, the CPU will service the interrupt normally.
These registers are not initialized when the RESET input is asserted and the contents of the register
is undefined until programmed by software.
Interrupt Level 1iiggering and Edge Triggering
The sensing of an interrupt condition by the VIC may be programmed for each PIRQ input by the
LE register. Each PIRQ line can be set to respond to either a signal level or to a signal transition
(edge). The polarity of the sensed condition is also programmable.
In the edge-triggered mode, either a high-to-Iow or low-to-high transition on the PIRQ line will
cause the VIC to latch the PIRQ line information. Further transitions on this PIRQ line will have no
effect. After the acknowledgment of the latched assertion by the CPU, the VIC resets the latching
mechanism allowing the ti!ler to again assert the interrupt with a proper transition on the PIRQ line.
A latched PIRQ assertion may be cleared by writing to the LE register or by writing a zero to the
corresponding bit of the pending status register.
In the level mode, the interrupting device must deassert the PIRQ input before the interrupt
service routine ends to prevent the VIC from sensing the previous level and posting the same
interrupt twice. During edge- or level-triggering, a bit in the pending summary register corresponding to that PIRQ line indicates the pending interrupt and if the interrupt is enabled, the VIC will
assert the appropriate IRQ line as programmed in the IMAP register.
If the CPU responds to an interrupt caused by a edge-triggered signal, the completion of the lACK
cycle will cause the VIC to clear the corresponding PSR register bit. If level-triggered mode was
selected, the PSR bit would continue to reflect the PIRQ status.

Fixed and Round Robin Priority
The two priority modes available to the user are fixed and round robin. Each PIRQ line has a fixed
priority with respect to the other PIRQ lines with line PIRQ15 as the highest priority and line
PIRQO as the lowest.
In fixed priority mode, the highest pending PIRQ for the IRQ level being recognized by the CPU
will be serviced first. In round robin mode, the. highest pending PIRQ for the IRQ level being
recognized by the CPU will be serviced and then prevented from requesting another interrupt until
all other pending interrupts for that IRQ level have been serviced. When all pending interrupts
assigned to an IRQ level have been serviced, the VIC will enable all the PIRQ lines assigned to that
IRQ level and the round robin process will start again. The'round robin mode operates only within
the PIRQ lines of a specific VIC,
The VIC accepts as many as 16 interrupts from peripheral devices and drives an interrupt request
(IRQ) line of the CPU, as determined by the user. The VIC decodes the presence of an interrupt
acknowledge cycle on the bus, monitors the interrupt priority line (IPL) being recognized, and
sends a 13-bit vector to the CPU. Each of the 16 (IRQ) lines i~ configured by software as follows:
• triggering mode and polarity
• IRQ mapping to the CPU
• enabling/disabling of interrupt request
• an interrupt vector
External Vector Generation
External devices can generate their own vector under control of a bit in the IVEC register. The
vector generation sequence is as follows:
1. The VIC provides the external vector enable ~ signal to the external logic that generates
the vector.
;
2. The XVEC signal indicates that the interrupt requested is ge1ng acknowledged.
3. The external logic supplies a vector to the ~ and assert~ an RDYto end the bus cycle.
Daisychain Configuration
More than one VIC can be connected in a daisychain-enable configuration as shown in Figure 11.
The three signals used are the ackrtowWQge enal>le in (i'AKEl), interrupt acknowledge enable out
high (IAKEOP), and interrupt acknowledge enable out low/error low (IAKEON). When the lAKEI
signal is asserted, the VIC can respond to the current interrupt acknowledge cycle. If no pending
interrupts exist for the IPL line being acknowledged, the VIC asserts the iAKEON and !AKBOP
lines to allow the next device in the chain torespohd to the interrupt acknowledge cycle.
Interrupt Operation
The VIC receives interrupt requests £roll1qevices and posts interrupts to the CPU by asserting the
appropriate IRQ lines. It also provides a vector address to the CPU during an interrupt acknowledge
cycle if the XVE bit in the interrupt register is not set. If it is set, the VIC notifies the device that a
vectoraddress is required from the device .•
Posting interrupts-When the VIC detects an assertion on aPIRQ input from a device, it sets a bit
in the in Pending Summary register that corresponds to the PIRQ input, If the corresponding
interrupt enable (lEN) bit in Interrupt Enable register is also set, an IRQ line is set to notify ~he
CPU of the.interPlpt request. The IRQ line that is set is selected by one of the four Interrupt Map
registers. Figure 11 shows the sequence for posting an interrupt req\lest.

Interrupt acknowledge response-After the IRQ line is asserted, The CPU responds with an
interrupt acknowledge cycle that transfers the interrupt priority level (IPL) of the interrupt being
acknowledged on the DAL< 04:00> lines. The VIC decodes this information to determine if it
had requested the interrupt. If it had made the request, an(hhe'IAKEI input is asserted, the VIC
blocks the propagation of the IAKEI signal to another VIC, and sel~cf the vector address associated
with the PIRQ line that requested the interrupt. The VIC then transfers the vector to the CPU

Bus Cycles
The VIC responds to read cycles, write cycles, and interrupt acknowledge cycles.
Register read cycle-A read cycle is performed by the CPU to read information from a VIC internal
register. The VIC responds to the read cycle when the CSEL input is asserted and when the address
on the DAL < 15:00 > lines corresponds to the address of a VIC internal register. The signal timing
and parameters for register read cycle are shown in the Specification section. The register read cycle
sequence follows.
1. The CPU transfers an address on the DAL < 15 :00> lines, indicates a read cycle on control lines
CS<2:0>, and deasserts the WR input to the VIC.
2. The CPU asserts the AS signal to indicate that the information on the hus is valid.
3. The VIC latches the DAL< 06:00 > ,CS<2:0>, and WR line information.
4. The external address decode logic, Figure 13, decodes the address on the DAL lines and asserts
the CSEL input to the VIC.

MkroVAX Bus Interface LiDes
Data andAdtkess (DAL<31:00»-These are time-multiplexed bidirectional lines used to
transfer data and address information between the MicroDMA controller and other MicroVAX bus
devices such as MicroVAX CPU and MicroVAX memory. The strobe signals AS and DS determine
whether data or address information is tmo.s£erred.
Address Suobe (AS)-The fa1l.ing edge of the: AS signal indicates that lines DAL < 31:00 > contain
~va1iCl address. On the falling edge of AS, the MicroDMA controller latches the .address and
inteqJrets it as. a phy:sical address. If the CSL line is als6 asserted, the CPU is performing a
MicroDMA access op~ration. This access could be to a MicroDMA register. or to a location in I/O
bus memory spaee. Refer to the Access Operations section.
1£ the MictODMA controller is bus rilastet; the AS line indicates that lines DAL < 29:02 > ) contain a
valid MicroVAX physidd memory address. ThbDAL<31:30> lines contain a 1 and a 0,
respectiVely.
The falling edge of the AS signal also mdicates that the information is valid on the BM < 3:0> ,
CS<2:0>, and W'R lines.

Access Operations
The MicroDMA controller allows the MkroVAX CPU to access memory and devices on thel/O bus
similarly to devices directly connected to the MicroVAX bus. These access operations are
performed by the user application and define a region of MicroVAX physical address space as an I/O
bus access range. When a range is referenced, an access to one or more equivalent locations on the
I/O bus is performed. Access operations may occur in parallel with channel operations such as
DMA, window and I/O DMA transfers. During access operations, data packing and unpacking is
performed and address translation or realignment is not performed.

-._-------_._----------'----------------:,
Data Realignment'-:Data iii MiQ'OVAX memory orTIO iriemorycan be accessed on arbitrary byte
boundaries. 'The re#ignmentcanoccur as pattof a lDMA or window transfer. During realignment a
data byte, word, or longword on one bus. is .buffered by the MicroDMA and shifted for proper
~nment on the other bus.
Data Buffering-The MicioDMA provides a buffer oftwo longwords per channd to improve DMA
transfer speed and efficie,ncy. 'The data from a device on one bus can be read and buffered until the·
device on the other bus is ready to accept the data, The buffer can also be used to convert bytes and
words from the I/O bus into longword data for the Micio.VAX bus .. This improves the speed of
MicroVAX bus transfers. During realignment, the buffer is used to hold data temporarily that is to
be realigned.
Data Packing and Unpacking-Data packing and unpacking is used for byte and word DMA
transfers and access operations. It asembles or separates data between the MicroVAX and I/O bus.
Data packing is performed to arrange byte or word data into longwords for the MicroVAX bus. Data
unpacking separates longwords into bytes and words for the I/O bus.
Address Translation
'The MicroDMA performs virtual to physical address translation for DMA and window transfers if
mapping is enabled for the channd involved in the transfer. 'The MicroDMA uses page table
information stored in MicroVAX memory and maintained by MicroVAX system software. This
information includes the system page table (a collection of page table entries contiguous in physical
memory), the process page tables (a collection of page table entries contiguous in virtual memory),
and the global page table used to describeshated pages.
Bus Interfacing
The MicroDMA controller prevents different activities between the buses from interfering with
each other. 'The controller appears as a DMA peripheral device on the MicroVAXbus. It requests
and relinquishes the bus through the DMA request andgrandogic. 'The bus interface. uses signals
with the same timing characteristics as those used .for any· other MicroVAX bus device. such as
MicroVAX·memory.
'The controller appears as an I/O processor or CPU on the IjO·bus. The I/O bus supports the
simultaneous use o£S.;l6-,and 32-bit devices and has an interfacing protocol simil~ to :that of the
MicroVAX bus.
The MicroDMA may operate as a master or a slave on either bus. Therefore, the bus controhignal

Registers
The MicroDMA controller contains 63 byte addressable, user-accessible registers. The MicroDMA
controller contains· one set of global registers that defineS the Overall. state of the MicroDMA
controller and four sets of channel registers that define the stat~o£each channel. The registers may
be accessed from either the MicrovAXbus or the I/O.bus.~
The registers occupy a 512-byte region in MicroVAXI/O address space. The base address of this
region is defined by the user and must begin on a 16-MbYte boundary. The user's application
decodes lines DAL<31:QO> and.assetts the cSL line whenan~ddress in the register region is
referenced. When CSL is asserted, the information on the DAL < 08:00 > lines is interpreted as a
register address if the DAL<23:09> lines are all zeros. HDAL<23:09> are not all zeros, the
information on DAL < 23:00 >is interpreted as an I/O bus address and an I/O access cycle will be
performed. (Refer to Access Operations.) The addresses associated with the global registers are
listed in Table 8. Table 9 lists the addresses assigned to the channel registers.

• cLanneJ Operations
The type of operation performed by a channel is specified by MODE bits 05 and 04 of· the
appropriate DMA configuration register (DCCTLO through DCCTL3).·· A channel operation is
performed by the following:
• The configuration data is entered into the DMA global control register.
• The I/O device involved in the transfer must be appropriately configured and enabled. This is
usually accomplished by an access operation that writes data to the I/O device.
• In the MicroDMA, the user registers that define the parameters of the channel operation are
written (initialized) with appropriate data. If mapped transfers are to occw; the DMA global base
register and DMA system base register must also be initialized.
• The data that configures the channel and initiates the channel operation is written into the DMA
channd control registet
DMA Transfers
A DMA transfer requires the user to specify the starting MicroVAX bus address, the starting I/O bus
address of the transfer, and the number of data bytes to be transferred. The configuration
parameters such as the direction and data width of the transfer are then written into the
appropriate DMA channel control register.
For unmapped DMA transfers, the starting MicroVAX bus address of the transfer is completely
specified by the physical byte address of the beginning of the data buffer. This is contained in the
DMA MicroVAX physical address register. For mapped DMA transfers, the system virtual address of
the page table entry that points to the first buffer page and the byte offset from the start of that
page to the first data byte must be entered. These addresses specify the beginning of the buffer in
virtual memory when the DMA· system base register and the DMA global base register are
initialized. The system software computes these quantities from a virtual address and the process
context, and loads them into the appropriate DCSPTEx' register and the DCBOx register to define
the virtual buffer. The starting I/O bus address of a transfer is contained in the DMA I/O base
address register.
The initial byte count is contained in the DMA initial byte count register (DCIBCx). At the
beginning of the transfer, the DCIBCx register information is loaded into the current byte count
register (DCBCx) and the reglster is decremented as the transfer progresses. When DCBCx reaches
zero or becomes negative, the transfer is complete and is terminated.
Configuration information for the DMA transfer is contained in the DCCTLx register. In addition
to specifying the data width and direction of the transfer, it also contains a "count mode" that
specifies which addresses will be incremented !lnd the value pf the increment as data is transferred
from one bus to another. Addresses to or from the MicroVAX bus may be incremented by 0 or 4
because memory is always addressed in longworos on that bus. Addresses to or frof)1 the I/O bus
may be incremented by 0,1,2, or 4 depending on the programmed width of the I/O bus. I/O bus
addresses are not incremented for DMA transfers to or from a peripheral device through its data
register. I/O bus addresses are incremented for I/O bus memory to MicroVAX memory transfers.
Table 14 lists the initial conditions of the registers involved with a DMA transfer. When these
conditions have been established, a DMA transfer is initiated by the assertion of the ITR signal by
the I/O device. A simplified flow diagram of the actions of an I/O device, the MicroDMA controller,
the MicroVAX CPU, and MicroVAX memory during a typical DMA transfer is shown in Figure 22.

*The upper bits of the MicroVAX address depend on the page table information and are not shown.
The lower two bits of the MicroVAX address are indeterminate and not necessarily zero.
Window '&ansfers
To perform a window transfer, a window (Le., a set of I/O bus addresses that correspond to
locations in MicroVAX memory) must first be defined by the user. The user application decodes I/O
bus addresses (IDAL<23:00> such that the ITRx signal is asserted when an address in the
window region is referenced.
When the I/O processor begins a window access, the MicroDMA uses the IBM < 3 :0> information, and the width of the I/O bus (byte, word, or longword) the effective byte count of the transfer
and to perform substitution for the low one or two bits of the incoming address, shown in Figure 23
and Table 16.
For unmapped window transfers, the base of the window region is completdy specified by the
physical byte address of the window in MicroVAX memory. This must be loaded into the
MicroDMA physical address register (DCUPAx), and is added to the window address derived from
the I/O bus device requesting the window access.

If the MicroVAX CPU performs an I/O bus access when' a windoW' access is being performed, a
deadlock may occur as the MicroVAX and I{O processor each wait for the other's bus.
The I/O processor can ensure a unique access·to MicroVAX memory. Before beginning a window
access, the I{O processor must assert VBR and wait for VBG to be asserted. Because the MicroVAX
pus is acquired by the· MicroDMA before the window access, the possibility of deadlock is
eliminated. Aftei the window access (or accesses), VBRshould be deaSserted to allow the
MicroVAX processor to regain control of its bus.
The MicroDMA chip conciinshardware that detects the presenCe of a deadlock if it occurs. It
breaks the deadlock by causing a bus error on the MicroVAX bus by asserting the ERR· signal and
sets a bit in the DMA global control register to inform the MicroVAX CPU of the cause of the error.
Thble 17 lists the initial conditions for an example of a window transfer. The sequence of events
involved in this example is shown in Table 18. One byte is to be transferred from the I/O bus to the
MicroVAX bus. The channel is configured in word mode. The user application decodes I/O bus
addresses in the range xxxlOOOO-xxxl01FF (hexadecimal) as window references. The I/O
processor writes data word 55xx to location 10022 (hexadecimal).

• Address Translation
When bit 17 (PHYS) of a channel control register is clear, mapping is enabled and virtual to physical
address translation will occur for DMA and
. window
.. mode transfers on that channel.
For mapped DMA transfers, the information requirements to completeIyspeclfy a buffer in virtual
memory after the DSBR an.d DGBRregisters h~he~ninitia1ized lire that the DCSPTEx register
must point to the page table entry that references the phY,'sicalpage in which the virtual buffer or
window starts. The DCBOxregistermust contlrlnthe byte, offset from the beginning of that
physical page to where the virtual buffer or window starts:'
Figure 25 shows the address translation for DMAtrans£ers ~atq~ references to process (PO or P1)
or system page tables. Figure 26 shows a DMA transfer th~t uses references to global (Le., shared)
page tables. Further information related to VAX memory mahagement is in Chapter 5 of the

For mapped window transfers, the actual transfer might not start in the page referenced by the
DCSPTEx register. The window address, shown in Figure 23) is used to compute new values for the
SVAPTE register and byte offset shown in Figure 27. The operation is transparent to the user.
A byte offset (BO') and system virtual address (PTE) are associated with point B in Figure 28 that
must be calculated before address translation can occur. Figure 28 shows how these parameters are
determined. Once BO' and DCSPTE' are found, they are used to perform address translation in the
same way as for a DMA transfer (see Figures 25 and 26).

For an I/O processor interrupt,
• The MicroDMA asserts the 10PINT signal.
• The I/O processor polls all MicroDMA channels to determine which channel caused the interrupt.
• The I/O processor processes the interrupt according to some I/O processor dependent protocol.
• The I/O processor software dears DONE (bit 23) of the DCCTLxregister after the interrupt has
been acknowledged .
. Termination of DMA Transfers
DMA and I/O DMA transfers are normally terminated when the byte count associated with the
transfer and contained in DCBC register becomes zero or a negative value. A transfer can also be
terminated before the byte count reaches zero when the TERM (bit 01) of the DCCTL register is set
or when the external hardware asserts the appropriate IIR signal and TOI (bit 10) of a DCCTL
register is set. The 101 (bit 22) of the DCCTL register is also set to indicate that termination was
caused by an interrupt. The number of bytes remaining to be transferred can be read from the
DCBCx register.
DMA transfers can also be terminated when the i'E'RR signal Is asserted during an I/O bus cycle,
when the E'RR signal is asserted during a MicroVAX bus cycle, or when an invalid page table entry is
referenced.A global page table entry reference that is either invalid or refers to another global page
table entry will also terminate the transfer. If the transfer is terminated by an error, a corresponding
bit in the DCCTL register is set to specify the error type.
The MicroDMA performs the following for all DMA transfer that are terminated.
• Sets DONE (bit 23) of the DCCTL register.
• Sets 101 (bit 22) of the DCCTL register if an I/O interrupt caused the termination.
• Clears ENABLE (bit 00) of the DCCTL register.
• Asserts the IOPINT signal if IE (bit 02) and nop (bit 11) of the DCCTL register are set.
• Initiates a MicroVAX interrupt at the level specified by IPR (bits 16 and 15) of the DCCTL register
if IE (bit 02) is set and nap (bit 11) is cleared .
• Chaining
The MicroDMA includes logic to automatically switch channels after the data transfer has
terminated. This is defined as chaining and is normally used by I/O subsystems that continuously
transfer data at high data rates. To reduce the time required to service an interrupt and reconfigure
a channel following the termi{lation of.a DMA transfel; chaining is used to switch channels and the
buffers associated with the channels to prevent data loss.
Chaining is enabled by setting CHAIN (bit 12) of the DCCTL register and the next channel in the
chain is specified by NXTCH (bits 14 and 13). If the current DMA transfer terminates without
errol; the channel specified by the NXTCH bits begins operation. Interrupts that were enabled for
the first chanriel will be serviced when the next: channel in the chain is active.
The pins for the ITR < 3:0 > channels involved in a chain should be connected together to preserve
the transfer requests.

MicroVAX Bus Write Cycle
A MicroVAX bus master performs a MicroVAX bus write cycle to transfer information to another
MicroVAX bus device. During the first part of the bus cycle, address and control information is sent
to the bus slave. During the second part, the data to be written is transferred. The sequence of
events follows:
.
1. The bus master drives the physicallongword address of .the location to be read onto the
DAL < 29:02> lines.
2 . The WR signal is asserted and the CS<2:0> lines are driven by the bus master as required.
3. The bus master drives the BM < 3:0 > lines and asserts the AS signal to indicate that the address
on the DAL lines is valid and can be latched. When the MicroDMA is being addressed for
signal must be asserted. The AS signal also qualifies the
register or I/O bus access, the
information on the CS <2:0 >, WR, and BM < 3:0 > lines.
4. The bus master asserts the DBE signal, drives data onto the DAL lines, and asserts the DS line to
indicate that the data is valid.
5. If the slave can accept valid data within the minimum write cycle time, it asserts the RDY signal
at the first sample window after the assertion of the AS signal and latches the data when the DS
line is deasserted. If the data cannot be accepted at this time, the master waits eight periods of
the CLKI signal and samples the RDY signal again. This sequence continues every eight clock
periods until the RDY line is asserted. If a bus error occurs, the external logic or the bus slave
responds by asserting the ERR signal and the bus master must then process the error. The
current bus cycle is completed when the RDY or ERR signal is asserted.
6. The bus master deasserts the DS signal to indicate that it will remove the data from the DAL lines
and deasserts the AS and DBE lines to end the bus cycle.
m
MkroVAX Bus DMA Cycle
This cycle is used to force the bus master to release control of the DAL lines and related control
signals to another MicroVAX bus device. The sequence of events follows:
1. A device requests the use of the MicroVAX bus from the bus master by asserting theDMR signal.
2. If the bus master is not performing a locked read cycle, it responds to the assertion of the DMR
by releasing the DAL<31:00>, AS, DS, DBE, WR, and BM<3:0>, lines.
3. The bus master asserts the DMG signal when it releases control of the bus and grants the use of
the bus to the requesting device.
4. One or more read and/or write cycles occur on the bus between the requesting device .(the new
bus master) and its slave.
5. When the requesting device is finished with the bus, it deasserts the DMR line to return control
of the bus to the original bus master.
6. The bus master deasserts the DMG signal and resumes operation on the bus.
Mic.ro VAX Bus Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle
A MicroVAX bus master performs an interrupt acknowledge cycle to acknowledge an interrupt
request from a slave through the IRQ lines and to read a vector, The timing for this cycle is the same
as the MicroVAX bus read cycle shown in Figure 30. The sequence of events follows:
1. The bus master transfers the priority of the interrupt being acknowledged onto lines
DAL< 04:00 > . The DAL<29:05> lines contain zeros and the DAL<31:30> lines contain
the value of 10.
2.· TheCS < 2:0 > lines are driven by the bus master to indicate an interrupt acknowledge cycle.
3. The bus master asserts all the BM <3:0> bits.· The WR signal isunasserted.

4. 'The bus master asserts~he AS signal to indicate that the interrupt.priority on the DAL lines is
valid and asserts !;he OS signal to indicate that the bus is available to receive incoming data. The
bus master also asserts the DBE line, which can be used to control DAL line transceivers.
5. If no error occurs, the exter:nallogic or the bus slave transfers the illterrupt vector on the
DAL<09:02> lines, the normal processing/Q-busprocess;.qg flagon the DAL line,and
asserts theRDY signal. Refer to the Micra VAX CPU User's Guide for a description of the normal
processinglQ-bus processing flag. The DAL < 15 :10,Q1 > lines ~ust be set to a valid high or low
level in accordance with the setup times shown in Figure 30.
.
6. If an error occurs, the external logic or the bus slave asserts the ERR signal. Thebus master
cancels the cycle jUld ignores the data on the PAL lines.
7. The bus master latches the interrupt vector" dea~erts the D'S signal, and deasserts the AS and
DBE signals to end the cycle.

• Interfacing Requir¢!Jle1lts
MicroDMA interface designs vary depending on the type of peripherals being interfaced. Figure'4i3
is a simplified example of a typical interface application. The MicroDMA is used as an interface
between the MicroVAX CPU and an 8-bit peripheral chip similar to an Intel* device.
*Intel is a trademark of Intel Corporation.
An address latcb and decoder enables the MicroDMA and other devices on the MicroVAX bus. If
more than one device on the MicroVAX bus can respond to a DMA or an interrupt acknowledge in
cycle, the devices are connected as a daisychain as shown. The peripheral chip has separate read and
write controls. The assertion of the IWR and iI5S lines indicates that a write operation is required.
The assertion of the IDS signal without the IWR being asserted indicates that a read operation is
required. The peripheral interface includes buffers 'for the IDAL data and addresses, and a decoder
for asserting signals such as DACK (a DMA data transfer acknowledgment signal), ~ (a peripheral
chip select signal), and peripheral chip register addressing signals.·The !MASTER signal is asserted
(MicroDMA is the default master of the I/O bus) and the IDMR signal is deasserted so that another
device cannot request control of the I/O bus.
Timing for the interfa(:e is from a common 40-MHz clock. The timing logic used depends on the
type of peripheral chip(s) being interfaced and determines when an I/O bus cycle can be terminated
and when IRDY line should be asserted. All the chips are reset by common reset circuit.

• Description
The MicroVAX 78584 Dynamic Ram Controller (DYRC) provides a low cost interface between the
MicroVAX 78032 CPU and 4 Mbytes of dynamic RAM (DRAM). The DYRCsupports 256Kl>y I-bit
DRAMs and supplies mcltiplexed address, timing strobes, and refresh/access arbitrationoontfQl.
Two operating speeds allow the designer to use different speed DRAMs. The choice ot speed
determines whether memory errors are reported during the same cycle or iii following cycle. Error
address capture logic is implemented in the PYRC.to aid in the reporting of memory errors. The
DYRC also provides battery backup refresh suppqlt.r~ lOQ-Hz interval timer, and bus timeQut logic
to report nonexistent addresses or no response to the address strobe. Figure 1 is a block diagram of

'these outputs cannot drive the DRAMs directly. Therefore a memory driver is required between
these lin~s and the memory array. Each line is capable of driving up to foUr memory driver inputs.
Ready (IIDY)- This signal is asserted to notify the controlling processor that the current memory
access bus cycle or internal register data transfer bus cycle can be completed.
.
Data valid (DV)-This· signal is asserted by the DYRC to notify the external error detection and
correction IQgic that the data being read from or written to memory is stable.
Enor (ERR)- This signal is asserted by the DYRC to notify the CPU that the parity checking logic
has reported a parity error to the DYRC by asserting the PARIN signal or that a bus. timeout
condition has occurred. When there is more than one DYRC ina system, only one should report a
bus timeout.

RefresbOperation
The AS, SELECT, EPS, and PFAIL inputs are used by the DYRC to arbitrate a ref.-esh c.;yde. The
DYRe performs the arbitration and control for the refresh cycles that may be started by the
following:
• Detecting thed~ssertion of the AS signal whentheSELECThlgrihl is asserted. The D$Cknows
when the p~t as:;ertion of the AS signal will ocCur. This allbws time for the DYRC to arbitra,te
.
between a refreshc.;ycle and the next memory cycle.'
• Detecting the deassertion of BPS. TheDYl\Cwill perform the:necessary refresh cycles during the
execution of long floating-point instructions .
• Detecting the assertionof the As sisllarwhen the SELECT 017ErS are deas~ for an extended
period of time (62.5 \.IS maximum). Four consecutive rows will be refreshed during the refresh
cycle. This allows refresh c.;ycles to bepertormed while theCPU'is' commuriicating with sloW
peripheral devices.

• At the assertion of the PFAIL signal. This condition inhibits memory accesses other thMrefresh
cycles. When the PFAIL signal is asserted, the aut~matic refresh occurs only when refresh mode 0
or 1 is selected and there is a badmp power sourc:e.· .
.
A refresh cycle consists of transferring the refresh address onto the memory address bus, asserting
the RAS< 3:0 > line information, and incrementing the refresh row address counter by 1 until four
rows have been refreshed. While a refresh cycle is in progress, the DYRC aSSerts the RINPRG signal.
The refresh cycle is completed when the RAS < 3:0 > lines and the RINPRG signal are deasserted.
Any· memory accesses attempted during· a refresh operation· are deferred until the refresh is
completed.
DMA devices that access memory controlled by the DYRC must consider the latency time that may
occur as a result of a refresh cycle. The DMA device can use RINPRG to detect a refresh cycle in
progress.
The four refresh modes that are selected by the REFSEL< 1:0> lines

The
.
ModeO-In this mode refresh operation is automatically controlled by the DYRC. The DYRC will
·refresh 256 consecu.tive locations in 4 ms when the clock input is.40 MH.z. During the powerup
sequence, the memory anay is initialized with eight refresh cycles before any access is permitted.
The RINPRG output will be asserted during refresh cycles.
Mode l.,.,-In this mode, refresh operation is automatically controlled by the DYRC. The DYRC will
refresh 512 consecutive locations in 4 ms when the dock input is 40 MHz or 256 consecutive
locations in 4 ms when it is 20 MHz. During powerup, the memory array is initialized with eight
refresh cycles before any access is permitted. The RINPRG output will be asserted during refresh
cycles.
Mode 2-1n this mode, refresh operation is controlled by external logic. The external logic
requests a refresh cycle by asserting the RRQST input. 'The DYRC arbitrates the refresh cycle,
asserts the RINPRG output, performs the four refresh cycles, and increments the·refresh counter.
The RINPRG output can be used to clear the RRQST signal. During the powerup sequence, the
memory array is initialized with eight refresh cycles before any access is permitted. Automatic
refresh is not performed after powerup.
Mode 3-1n this mode the refresh operation is disabled and no refresh will occur during the
powerup sequence.
Internal Registers
The, DYRC contains two 16-bit registers. The control and status register (CSR) is a read/write
register. that is used to transfer control and status information between the processor and the
DYRC. The fault address register (FAR) is a read-only register that is .used to store the addreSS of the
page in memory being accessed at the time a parity error is reported. Access to the CSRand FAR is
controlled by the RS;CSR, andWR inputs. TheRS input selects the DYRC for a register access, the
CSR input selects the register to be accessed, and the WR input determines whether a read or write
transaction is to be performed. The addresses for the CSRand FAR registers must be on a longword
boundary. Because these registers are 16 bits wide, they must be accessed using word instructIons.
Control Status Register-The control status register (~SR) enables parity errol; support, reports
parity a~d bus timeout status, and forces a wrong parity for diagnostic purposes. During the initiai
powerup sequence or at the assertion of the RESET input, this register is cleared. Figure· J shows
the CSR register format and Table 5 describes the function of each bit.

Error Reporting
The DYRC reports memory parity errors, bus timeout, and nonexistent memory address errors to
the CPU. For a memory parity errol; the DYRC provides the error reporting interface between
external parity checking logic and the CPU. TI'le bus timeout logic monitors the MicroVAX bus
activity and reports a timeout error when the addressed device does not respond by asserting the
RDY signal. When an error has been reported to the CPU by the DYRC, the error handling routine
must read the CSR to determine the type of error being reported.
Parity Error Reporting-The DYRC provides the interface between external parity checking logic
and the MicroVAX 78032 CPU for reporting a parity error. Parity error reporting is enabled by
setting the ENB bit in the CSR. When a parity error has been detected by external parity checking
logic, it asserts the PARIN input of the DYRC. This causes the page address to be captured in the
FAR, the ERRSTAT bit in the CSR to be set, the parity error logic to be disabled by the clearing of
the ENB bit in the CSR, and the CPU to be notified of an error by asserting the ERR output. The
1·186
Confidential and Proprietary
-
Preliminary
DYRC will hold the ERR signal asserted until the next data stream access to memory. This ensures
that the CPU will detect the error condition and respond. After responding to the parity error, the
software must reenable the parity error logic by setting the ENB bit in the CSR. Refer to the
MicroVAX 78032 Central Processing Unit User's Guide for information on error handling. The parity
error reporting logic also aids parity and error detection and correction (EDAC) designs by
providing a data valid strobe. The TN strobe can be used by external parity or EDAC logic as an
indicator that the d-ata on the bus is valid.
...
Bus timeout ert'Ol'-The bus timeout logic provides a means to monitor the MictoVAX ~s activity
and to notify the CPU oia nonexistentmen;l.ory error or some other error that causes AS to be
asserted for more than 25 ~s.Proper operation of this logic requires a .to-MHz clock input with the
INCLKSEL input assertedot a 20-MHz inJ?ut with tbeiNanEtinputcleassetted. The bus
timeout logic is enab1edor disabled by conn«rlng the ENB'i'Ml(inp\1t toVilD 01' Vss· When the bus
timeout logic is e~ledand the AS inpm has been asserted for more than 25 \.1$, the DYRC will set
the IITO bit in the CSR and asseit the ERR'signal.
Interval Timer
The interval timer provides a 100-Hz output (IN1'fiM) that can be used to support operating
system timing functions. The clock source for this. output is selected by the INCLKSEL input.
When this input is asserted, the clock squrce (cLio) is divided by two and the output is the clock
source for the timing circuit. When . not asserted, the 2o.;MH~input is the clock source for the
timing circuit. The IN'ITIM output will be 100Hz when the input is 40 MHz or the 20 MHz input
is 20 MHz.
Powerfail Standby
Powerfail standby. is functional.only whenrefte·sh mode 0 Ol' l·is selected. The powerfail logic
provides automatic memory refresh for powerfail conditions when memory and the DYRC have a
backup power source. Powerfail standby operation is enabled by the assertion of the PFAIL input.
This input must be asserted by external logic before the system power supply becomes unstable.
When asserted and refresh mode 0 or 1 is selected, any activity on the MicroVAX bus is ipored,
and the DYRC continues to refresh memoryuntil.the ~ signal. is deasserted or the backup
power supply fails. The PFAIL signal should be deasserted a..ID.ll.xhllUm of 10 ~ before pprmal
operation is resumed.
•. . .
..
Reset/Powerup
The DYRC will resetits internal counters and timing sequencers 'when .theRE'SET input is asset:ted
for a minimum of 800 I.IS and the clock input is operating. When the RESET input is deasserted,
the DYRC will initialize theDAAMs with eight refresh cycles. Menl0ry·a.ccess is delayedun~.i1 the
completion of the eight RAS-only refreshes. The DRAM data will belast when 'itESET is aSserted.
When power is first appliedtotheDYRC, the RESET input must be asserted fot a minimum of 800

• Interfacing Requirements
A typical MicroVAX CPU and DYRC interface configuration is shown in Figure 5. The external
logic required to interface a dynamic memory system is also shown. The actual logic may vary
according the requirements of the system. The typical external components consist of external
address decode logic, data bus transceivers with parity, memory address bus drivers, RAS and CAS
drivers, and a write buffer.

• Sy81em Overview
The ADVICE enables the hardware emulation of the MicroVAX CPU and FPU at full-speed (40MHz) and provides the user with complete control over MicroVAX CPU operation. This includes
the ability to start and stop the program operation and to single-step through a program. It contains
hardware and software that can be used directly by the target application to simplifythe
development of the target hardware and software.
Figure 2 shows the system interconnections to the ADVICE module. The host computer is used to
write, edit, and optionally debug the user programs that will eventually run on the target system.
These programs are converted to hexadecimal format by the DECPROM software and downloaded
to the ADVICE over a serial line. A local console terminal is used to enter commands and control
the entire development process.

The V-ll chips interface to main memory and 1/0 devices through three gate arrays that form
the port controller. This logic provides three ports, one of which is the CPU port to the V-U chips.
The remaining two ports access main memory and 1/0 devices. Main memory and system I/O are
on the VAXBI bus and are accessed through the VAXBI bus port and the VAXBI 78732 bus
interconnect interface chip (BIIC). The third port is used for localI/O transfers to the control panel,
floppy disk, etc.

Functional Operation
The patching of incorrect ROM data with RAM data is performed by the.following operation. The
14-bit ROM addresses of the incorrect ROM data are written into the CAM. The correct data is
written into RAM locations that have lO-bit addresses that are identical to the low-order lO-bits of
the incorrect ROM data. BaCh time the ROM is accessed, the incoming ROM address is
automatically compared with the addresses stored in the CAM. If the addresses are the same, the
MA'It:H output is asserted to inform the external logic that the ROM data currently being accessed
is incorrect and that the correct data is in the RAM. The RAM is then accessed in the following
cycle(s) with the same address. tThe ten low-order address bits must be identical to access the
correct data.
The DC327 ROM{RAM chip contains an address/MSELB latch; a ROM,RAM, CAM" a data
multiplexer, and an output buffer shown in Figure 1.
.
' .,
Address/MSELB 'Latch-Thi,siatch ,holds address inputs A < 13 :00 > and the' MSELB 'input.
When the CE input is deasserted, the address and the MSELB inputs pass through the latch to the
intetruillogicof the chip ..A high-to-Iow transition of the CE input loads the state ofthe address and
MSELB H informationint6 the latch, and any trahsitions on those inputs that follow are ignored.
Read-only Memory (ROM)-The 16K by 8-bit word ROM is accessed by the address information
onthe A < 13:00> lines £rot'nthe output of the address latCh. The ROM is accessed during a highto:low transition of the CE input and the 8-bits of the ROM data are transferred to the data
mrl+iplexer.
'
Random Access Memory (RAM)-The lK' by 8-bit word RAM is accessed by the' address
iliformation onthe A< 9:0> lines from the output of the addresslatch. A high-to-Iow transition
of the CE input when the WE input is deasserted will access the RAM and transfer 8-bits of the
RAM data to the data multiplexer. The RAM is written with the data on the D < 7:0> lines when
the latched MSELB signal is asserted, the CE signal makes a high-to-Iow transition, and the WE
input is asserted with the proper timing.
Content Addressable Memory (CAM)-The CAM consists of 32 14-bit registers, 32 14-bit
comparators, logic for detecting an address match, a CAM test address register, and logic for testing
the CAM. When the CAM operates in the normal mode (not test mode), the latched address
information on lines A< 13:00> is cqmpared with the addresses stored in the 32 14-bit CAM
registers. If the latched address is the same as an address stored in the CAM registers, the MATCH
output is asserted. The MATCH output is indeterminate during a RAM or CAM write cycle. In test
mode, the MATCH output is disabled. The MATCH open drain output is internally disabled at the
beginning of each cycle and must be pulled up to its inactive state by an external resistor.

Physical Address Lines (l?At < 6:0> )-These lines provide the M chip with part of the address
earlier than the address is available on the bAL < 38:00 > lines. When the MTB MISS signal is
asserted, the value on these lines is a virtual address. If the MTB MISS signal is not asserted,· the
address on the DAL<38:00> lines is a physical address. The mapping of the virtual and physical

Abort (ABORT)-This signal indicates that the current microinstruction should be ignored. This
inhibits execution of the current microinstruction and forces the loading of the next microinstruc.
tion.
Mini-TB Miss (MTB MISS)-This output is asserted during memory requests and IB·fill operations
when a Mini-TB lookup fails. It indicates that a Backup TB read cycle should be performed, a PTE
should be passed from the BTB to the IjE chip, and the microinstruction or I .boxrequest should be
initiated again.
Clock (CLK)-This signal is driven by the M chip and is used by the lIE chip, M chip, F chip, and
port controller chips. The eLK input makes a transition from a 0 to 1 at the beginning of every odd
phase. The eLK frequency is one half the frequency of the Tn eLK IN input to the M chip that is
used to generate the eLK and eLK BAR signals. The nominal value for TTL eLK IN input is 40
MHz resuting in a 20.MHz eLK input.
Clock Bar (CLK BAR)-Thls signal is used by the I{E chip, M chip, F chip, and port controller
chips. The eLK BAR signal makes a transition from a 0 to l·at the beginning of every even phase.
The frequency of this signal is one·half the frequency of the TTL eLK IN signal. The nominal value
for TTL eLK IN is 40 MHz, thus producing a 20·MHz eLK BARinput.
Clock Synchronize (CLK SYNC)- This signal is from the M chip and is used to synchronize the
chip set and port controller by supplying the reference marker for phase 2 in the cycle.
dc Low (DeW) -This signal is driven by the module to indicate that the dc power is not within
specifications or is heingrestored.
Three State (TRISTATE)-This signal forces all of the output buffers to theirhigh·impedance
state. This feature is used only during parametric characterization, debugging operations, and for
module .test purposes.

special hardware used to enhance the power of microdiagnostics and handles microtrap generation.
Execution Box (E Box)-The E box contains facilities to implement the VAX instruction set. The
E box contains the general purpose registers (GPRs), temporary registerS" (TEMPs), and working
registers. It also includes a shifter, a 32-bit arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a constant generator
(KMUX), and the shift counter (SC) register.

Mm Interface-Th~ MIB interface connects the I/E chip to the external control store through the
MIB. It receives and checks the parity of the microcode wards that are read from the external
control store, controls the sequencing of the ROM/RAM chips, and oversees the use of the MIB for
passing interchip status signals. It is also used for writing the patch RAM section of the DC327
ROM/RAM chips.
.
Interri.a1 Bus Structure
Five of the internal lIE chip buses are 32-bit data buses and the remaining two are used for control.
The f()l1owing is a brief description of the major buses.
.
Internal Memory Information(IMm < 38:00 > )-The IMIB < 38:00 > lines provide the main
control and are used to transfer the microinstruction to all other logic functions in the chip.
Because the lIE chip cannot stall the clocks, it must execute a microinstruction every cycle. The
information on this bus is v:tlid every cycle. The memory interface logic inhibits write operations
that are associated with a stalled microinstrUction. .
.
Microtest <):0::>';";"The miciotest bus is used t6 transfer 'the results oia conditional branch test to
the microsequencer. The microsequeneef uses thls' value and the branch command field to
determine the next microaddress to be driven to the control store.
Internal DatalAddress (IDAL < 31:00 > )-The IDAL bus connects the DAL < 31:00> lines to the
internal register HIe. It is driven by the memory interface during the address portion of the
microcycle and during the data half of the microcycle if the datais being written by the l/Echip. It
is drivenby'the DAL <31;00 >linesll theI/Echip is executing a read transactiori.
D-stteam Bus (DBtJS < 31:00 > -This bus connects the E box registers to the IDAL bus and IS
driven when the lIE chip reads D stream data or external registers. The microinstruction specifies
the E box register to be loaded from this bus.
AW Bus (AWBUS < 31:00 > -This is the main data bus between the I box, E box, and memory
interface and is used as one of the input buses to the ALU. It also transfers the result of the
computation from the ALU. During a normal ALU operation, one of the operands (inputs to the
ALU) is driven onto the AW bus by an E box register. After the ALU operation, the results are
transferred onto this bus and are then written into an E box register. Whetidata is beitig written
from the E box to the DAL lines, the AW bus is used to transfer the data to the memory interface
that then drives, the DAL lines. It is also used to connect registers located in the Ihemory.intertace
and I box to the E box registers.
B Bus (B <31:00> )-This bus is located in the E box and is driven by Eboxregisters to provide
the .remlUo)ng input to the ALU.

Abort (ABo'RT)-This input i~ ~~rtedwhel'l th(d~$tinstructionon theMIB intheprevious P7
and P8 phase is to be ignored. Becausethe AB"C5RTsignal is generated by the lIE chip, the M chip
may not be executing the same microinstruction as the I/E chip and therefore it applies to the
instruction that the I/E chip is executing. When this occurs, the M chip ignores the abort. If the M
chip asserts the MERR signal, the ABORT signal will be asserted by the lIE chip in a subsequent
cycle, causing a microtrap to occur. This ABORT signal must be deasserted by the end of phase 3 if
it is to remain deasserted for the rest of the cycle.
Micro Error (M ERR)-This signal is asserted by the M chip to inform the I/E chip of an error
condition. It causes the I/E chip to abort and microtrap when there is a parity error on data read
from one of the tag arrays in an MREQ, IB fill, or MTB miss operation and when the port controller
asserts a port control error due to a data error on an MREQ read or write operation.
BCI ac Low (BCI ACLO)-This is an interrupt input to the M-chip. When asserted, an interrupt is
requested at IPL 16. This signal is sampled each cycle and is not latched by the M chip.
PortCobtroDer Error (PCNTL ERR)-This inputinforms the M chip that an error has occurred in
the port controller as a result of a data transfer operation.
Port Controller Ready (PCNTL READY)-This input informs the M chip that the port controller
is ready to accept a command. When deasserted and the current instruction requires the port
controller, the M chip will assert the DAL STALL signal until the port controller becomes ready.
Cache Address Lines (CAL < 10:00 > )-These outputs provide the physical address to the cache
during cache read and write cycles and the virtual address to the BTB during PTE· read and write
cycles. The cache data array is organized into 2K longwords that require 11 address lines. The B'tB
contains 512 PTEs of one longworcl each. The CAL < 10:00> outputs reflect the address sent to the
M chip on the DAL<.31:00> lines during the first cycle of cache read operation and MTB miss
cycles. The source of the CAL < 10:00> information is the MVA for the load PTE operation.
During cache fill operations, the M chip modifies the value of the CAL < 1:00> lines by
incrementing them by modulo four (starting from the value of these bits supplied on the DALlines)
each time one of the four Iongwords are received. The CAL line value is derived from the address
received on the DAL < 31:00 > lines or from the MVA.
Cache Chip Select (CACHE CS)-This signal is asserted when data is to be transferred to or from
the cache data RAMs during read and write operations. The direction of transfer is specified by the
WREN <3:0> lines. The RAMs address is on the CAL < 10:00> lines.
Write Enable (WREN < 3:0 > )-These lines specify the direction of the data to the cache and BTB
data and parity RAMs. When active, the data for the associated byte in the cache or BTB RAM
arrays is written. The chip selerct lines determine which bank of cache or BTB is to be written. The
lines are asserted during the following:
• An MREQ write operation that has a cache hit. The write mask that is received by the M chip
during the MIB line status transfer is used to determine which of the 4 bytes in the longword are
to be written.
• When the cache is written with data on a cache fill. All 4 bytes are written and the write mask
contains all ones.
• During an MREQ read operation of the PTE. ,When the PTE returns from memory, it is loaded
into the PTE store and the write mask contains all ones.
• During an MXPR write operation to the PTE. All 4 bytes are written and the write mask contains
all ones.

BI Interrupt (BI iNTi < 4:0 > )-These are interrupt inputs to the M chip. When a line is asserted,
an interrupt is requested on IPL 14 through IPL 17. These signals are sampled during each CYge and
are not latched by the M chip.
Console Interrupt (CNS! INTR)-When asserted, an unmaskable interrupt is posted. This signal
is sampled each cycle and it is not latched by the M chip.
CRD Interrupt (CRDI'NfR)-When asserted, an interrupt is requested at IPL 16. This signal is
sampled each cycle and it is not latched by the M chip.
NI Interrupt (NI INTR)-When asserted, an unmaskable interrupt is posted. This input is sampled
each cycle and is not latched by the M chip.
ac Low (BCI ACW)-This input is asserted when the ac voltage is below the specified limit and
initiates an interrupt request on IPL 16. This input is sampled each cycle.
de Low (BCI DCW)-This input signal is asserted by the power supply when its output voltage is
about tobe lower than the specified minimum value. When asserted, all.outputs of the M chip
become a high impedance except for the CLK, CLKBAR, CLK SYNC, and OUTPUT EN outputs.
The CLK and CLK BAR outputs are normal. The CLK SYNC signal and OUTPUT EN signals are
deasserted.When the BCI DCW signal is deasserted and the CLK and CLK .BAR signals are
asserted,the first assertion of the CLK SYNC signal is within four or six TTL CLK IN cycles. After
this signal is deasserted, the M chip will remain in a reset state and the outputs will be a high
impedance for the first three cycles of the CLK SYNC output. When the CLK SYNC signal has
pulsed a minimum of four times, the M chip will respond to microinstructions on the Mm, and the
high-impedance outputs will be enabled.
Voltage (VBB)-ThiS input is used to supply the back-bias voltage to the module.
PerfortnatK:e Monitor Enable Output (PME OUT)-This output has the same value as the PMEbit
mthe Pl length register (PILR). Refer to the Register section for a description of the P1LR If the

Backup Translation Buffer
The backup translatitln buffer (BTB) is ad.irect mapped arraywith 128 entries,grouped into system
and process spaces as determined by bit .31 of the virtual address. Each entry'containsa tag that
corresponds to a group of four page-table entries (PTEs) and four valid bits, one for each PTE, The
512 PTEs are not included in the chip and are typically industry-standard RAMs. This array is used
on MREQ or IB FILL operations when the MTB MISS signal is asserted and on the MREQ read PTE
operations. It is also used in some MXPR instructions and contains the following registers.
• Memory address register (MAR)
• Missed virtual address register (MVA)
• Invalidate address register (INVAR)
• Refresh address register (REFR)

Data/address Lines (DAL<31:00> )-These are bidirectional, three-state lines that are used for
receiving operands, transmitting results, and for reading and writing the control/status register of
the F chip. Addresses are received from the DAL lines for detecting unaligned memory references
and to properly assemble the data.
DAL Busy (DAL BUSY)-This synchronization signal is driven by the port controller to indicate
that it is driving the DAL < 31:00 > lines. Any microcoded data that was transferred during the
cycle is ignored and must be sent again. The DAL < 31:00 > lines are a high impedance when this
signal is asserted.
DAL Stall (';::n"'lA,L';"·-:;S.::;tr.l\";"L";"'L·)-This synchronization signal is driven by the V-ll chips to stall the
microinstructions so that operations that require more than one cycle can be completed. It is used
when the I/E chip reads a result of a calculation that is not completed.
Abort (ABORT)-When asserted, it indicates that the microword received during the last T150T200 phase is not valid and should not be executed.
de Low (DCW)-This signal is asserted for 70 ms after the 5-Vdc power is within the specified
limits. It is used for initializing the control sequencers in the F chip.
F Box Negative (F BOX N)-This condition is transferred to the liE chip to indicate a negative
result upon completion of a floating-point calculation. It is also used to indicate exceptions.
F Box Zero (F BOX Z)- This condition is transferred to the ljE chip to indicate a zero result upon
completion of a floating-point calculation.

Preliminary
• Functitmal Operation
The F chip operates in the 200-ns cycle of the synchronous V-ll processOr system. It receives
microinstl1lctions from the V-ll cont~l store that can initiate sequences in the F chip controlled by .
the internal control store. The illternal opeJ.'ations of the F chip cycle are performed at 100 ns.
Figure 1 shows the main logic elements described in the following paragraphs and includes the
following:
• A·DAL and MIB interface
• A control store memory
• Afraction processor
• An exponent and sign processor
• Clock logic
DALInterface--The DAL interface conneCts the F chip to the DAL < 31:00> lines. Together with
theMIB interface, its conttollogic deterfuines when data on the DAL is valid. It provides the
interfaces between the external DAL lines and the internal data paths, and it formats the data
internally in a standard floating-point form. It also detects unaligned data and latches and rotates
the data to the proper format. It detects short literals and unpacks them into the standard floatingpoint formats. The DAL Interface also contains the Fchipcontrol and status register (CSR) that is
used by the I/E chip microcode to determine the exceptional conditions that may occur.
MIB Interface-This interface connects the F chip conttollogic to the microinstl1lction bus (MIB)
and contains the currently executing external microinstruction, the current opcode and some of the
DAL line synchronization bits. h contains logic that decodes the current external microinstruction
and opcode, sending control information to the DAL interface and control store.
Control Store-The control store is a 160-word by 36-bit ROM that provides the internal
microinstruction for the F chip. It also contains the simple microsequencer.
Fraction Processor-The fraction procesSQr contains the 67-bit. data path and control logic. It
accelerates the execution of the VAX floating-point ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, and POLY instructions
on the Float, Double, and grand data types.!t also accelerates the MULL and DIVLinstructions.
The fraction data path contains a registerfile of two temporary and eight constant registers, a 67bit arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a 67-bit shifter, registers for storing the ALU information; shifter
data and Q data, and a shift register able to shift up to 3 bits at a time. The operands are assembled
in the I/O register that forms the interface between the fraction data path and the DAL interface.
The fraction control logic receives encoded control signals· .from the control store (internal
microinstruction) and MIB Interface (external microinstruction}. It decodes these signals and
drives the data-path control lines.
Exponent and Sign P:rocessot-The exponent processor is a 13-bit data path with control logic. It
allows calculations tobe performed on exponents and signs of operands in parallel with operations
in the fraction processor. The data path consists of a four location dual-ported RAM with zero
detection on each output, an ALD, and latches for holding ALU data. A PLA is included to detect
certain cases ·of exponent differences and a path for normalization data to get from the. fraction
data path to the exponent ALU. Literals can be transferred .to the exponent data path from a
dedicated' ROM.

DC330
Clock Logic-The clock logic receives the V-ll high-level, 50 ns cycle time dock signals and the
TTL-compatible 200 ns cycle time phase signal. It generates clocks that allow the DAL and MIB
interfaces to synchronize to the 200 ns data transfers, and the internal data paths and control
machines to cycle at 100 ns .

A bus transaction uses the DAL bus
to access memory, 1/0 devi~s, or addressableregi.,sters. A
gerwral purpose transaction is used to access interface devices th~t are not directly addressable by
the DAL bus. Int¢rrupt acknowledge (lACK) transactions are in response to the DCJll granting an

Data Control Lines
Buffer control (""'B:;";U""FC""'TL"""'"')- The BUFCTL lirieis asserted when J;he DAL < 15:00), bus is not being
driven by the DCJll when receiving data during read transactions and during the stretched portion
of any nonwrite transaction. The BUFCTL signal is negated when the DCJll is writing an address
ordatatotheDAL<15:00> bus.
Address latch enable (ALE)-The ALE line is asserted anhestart ofa transaction and is used to
latch the address, I/O bank, I/O map and AIO code irifonnation. During the second half of the
transaction, the signal is negated and can be used to latch the cache memory data.
Strobe (STRB)-The STRB is negated at the end of every tfarisaction and asserted by the end of the
second dock period of the next transaction. The STRB signal identifies the end of a transaction and
can be used for external bus control.
Stretch c:ontrol(SCTL)- Th~ SCTLline is asserted for the stret~hed portiQn of a bus transaction.
During ~rite transactions, the leading or trailing edges of theSCTL signal may be used to latch
data. During read transactions, the trailing edge of SCTL max be used to latch bus. The DMR line status is sampled bythe DCJllat the rising edge of TO andthe
request is acknowledged by the DCJll by asserting the MAi3·1ines. The.I5MR signal is not
acknowledged during write transactions. AssertingDMR ensures that the next transaction will be
stretched. All write transactions are stretched.

Cache miss (MISS)-The MISS input is received from the system interface to indicate the status of
the current dai:!flememory lookup entry. The DCJll samples the status of the ~ISS line at the rising
edge of T3 during a read transaction. If the MISS signal is asserted to ihdicate the entry was not
located in cache memory, the current read transaction will be stretched.
Initialize (INIT)-The INIT input is driven by the system interface to initialize the DC] 11 by
forcing it to go through a powerup routine.
Interrupt Lines

Preliminary
FIUV (Floating interrupt on undefined variahle)-An interrupt occurs when this bit is set
and a -Ois obtained from memory as an operand of an ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, CMF, MOD,
NEG, ABS, TST, or any WAD instruction. The interrupt occurs before execution except
for a NEG, ABS, and TST instructions whenit occurs after execution. When FIUV is
reset, -0 can be loaded and used in any FPP operation. The interrupt is not activated by
the presence of -0 in any BC operand of an arithmetic instruction and trap on -0 does not
occur in mode O. The FPP will not store a result of -0 without a simultaneous interrupt.
10
FlU (Floating interrupt on underflow)-When set, a floating underflow will cause an
interrupt. The fractional part of the result of the operation causing the interrupt will be
correct. The biased exponent will be too large by 400 (octal) except for the special case of
0, which is correct. If the FTIJ bit is reset and if underflow occurs, no interrupt occurs arid
the result is set to exact O.
09
FIV (Floating interrupt on overflow)-When set, a floating overflow will cause an
interrupt; The fractional part of the result of the operation causing the overflow will be
correct. The biased exponent will be smaller by a value of 400 (octal). No interrupt will
occur if the FlV is reset and overflow occurs. The FPP returns to exact O. Special cases of
an overfloW condition are defined in the detailed descriptions of the MOD and LDEXP
instructions.
08
FIC (Floating interrupt on integer conversion)-When set and the conversion to an
integer instruction fails, an interrupt will occur. The destination is set to 0, and all other
registers are not affected. If this bit is reset, the result of the operation will be the same as
previously described but an interrupt will not occur. The conversion instruction fails if it
generates an integer that is longer than the short or long integer word specified by the FL
bit.
07
FD (Floating double precision mode)-This bit determines the precision that is used for
floating-point calculations. When set, double-precision is assumed; when reset, singleprecision is used.
06
FL (Floating long integer mode)-This bit is used in the conversion between integer and
floating-point format. When set, the integer format assumed is double-precision two's
complement (i:e., 32 bits). When reset, the integer format is assumed to be singleprecision two's complement (i.e., 16 bits).
0.5
FT (Floating chop mode)-When set, the result of any arithmetic operation is chopped
(or truncated). When cleared, the result is rounded.

The bank select (BSI and BSO) signals are used with bus and general purpose, read or write
transactions. The~e signals provide .coded information to define the type of physical address that is
on the DAL < 21:00> lines. Thebimk select transactions are listed in Table 3.
Physical addresses that are less than 177 60000 (octal) are memory references. Addresses in the I/O
p8.ge (17769000-17777777) that do not access a DCJll register are external 1/0 references.
Ac!.d.ressesinthe I/Opage access internal registers, except for CCR, are internal register references.
System register references are addresses 17777740 through 17777750.
No Operation Transaction
During a no operation (NOP) transaction, the DCJll performs an internal operation and the bus is
used for external data as shown in, F~gure ,17. The assertion of ALE latches the Ala code that
identifies the transaction as non-1/0. The ttansiictionrequires four periods to complete provided
no DMA requests occur.
If DMR is asserted at the start of the cycle, the Nap transaction is stretched. A stretched
transaction is shown in Figure 18. The DMA request stretches the transaction to a minimum of
eight periods. The DMA request is received 011 DMR and is granted by MAP line. The BUFCTL an'd
scn signals are asserted during the stretched portion.' the transaction continues to stretch in twoperiod increments until the DCJl1 receives the CONT signal to end the transaction.

Figure 29 • DC]l1 Console Start Sequence Flow Diagram (Continued)
. Instruction Timing
The execution time for an instruction depends on the type of instruction executed, the mode of
addressing used, and the type of memory being referenced. In general, the total execution time is
the sum of the base instruction fetch and execute time plus the operand(s) address calculation/fetch
time.
Tables 23 through 30 and the source and destination tables Sl, Dl through D6, and Fl through F4
are used to determine the execution time of an instruction in microcydes. The execution times
listed in the tables specify the number of microcycles required to fetch and execute the base
instruction. The read/write (R/W) columns specify the number of read and write microcydes
required. If the instruction involves a calculation or fetch operation of one or more operands, a
source or destination table is referenced in the table. The source and destination tables specify the
number of microcycles required to perform the calculation or fetch operation for the source or
destination. It also lists the number of read and write microcycles required. During the remaining
microcyc1es, no operations (NOP) are performed .

-Description
The FPJll, shown in Figure 1, isavery large ~caleintegratiqf! (VLSI) floating-point coprocessor for
the DCJU microprocessor thatirnplements the FPll floating-point instruction set on a single 40pin chip. The high performance of the FPJU'significantly ifupl'O\(es the performance of computation-intensive applications.
.
.
The FP]l1 interface provides the ai)illtytp overlap instruction ~tion in a DCJll system. This
ability allows the effective execution. time· of floating-point ins~ons to be measured as the time
required to execute the support microCOde" in the OCJl1\ and .any time waiting for a previous
floating-point instruction to complete.

Operational Units
The FPJl1 consists of two main functional units. The execution unit (EB) consists'of the fraction,
exponent, and sign processors; The bus interface unit (BIU} controls all interface functions between
the EU-andDCJll system. Both units contain independent control sequencers that intetacttoallow
possiblepefiormance impl'tivement through parallel operation of the I/O operations in the BIU and
instruction execution in the EU.
The BIU receives all instruction stream data and decodes instructions in parallel with the DC] 11.
Support microcode in the DCJll initiates all I/O cycles required by the FPJll. On completion of the
support microcode, the DC]l1 proceeds to the next instruction. Subsequent integer instructions
can proceed without FPJl1 intervention. For subsequent load class floating-point instructions, the

the bus write cycle and then waits for the FPJll to provide write data or to signal an exception by
the FPA FPE input.
Floating-point Data .Forrna~.. '. . '.' . . . . .
.....
A Boating-point number may be defin~as having t.he form ( + or - )(2K) X £, where K is an integer
and £is a fraction. For a nonzeronumbet;K anMare determined by imposing. the condition lh ±
< f 1. The fractional part (f) of the number is then normalized. For the number 0, f is assigned the
value 0 and the value of K is indeterminate.
Thei pP]l1floating"point data fc:lJ:tiUlts are derived from: this represeomtiotifor floating-point
numbers. Two types offloating-pointd~taare J?rovided. Ins§Peprecision, or fl~tingmOde, the
data is 32 bits long. In double precision, or double mode, the data is &fbits long. Sign magnitude
notation is used.
.
Nonzero Floating-point Numbers
The fractional part (f) is assumed to be binary norttl;ilized, SO that i~s ~tsigt:Uficax:¢.bit must be 1.
Uris 1 is thehinerif of 0 and a
nonzero fractional part. An arithmetiC operation fotwhich the ~tingtruee:xponent exceeds 177
(octal) is regarded as producing a floating overflow; if the true exponent is less than -177 (octal),
the operation is regard~ ~spro#~a;fl()~ti~'Ul1({~~\v.A·h~~sed expOJ'1~t of 0 cahOccur from
arithmetic operations as a special caSe of oVerflow (true exponerit =200 octal).
Undefined Variable
The undefined variable is anyhit pattern with a sign bit 00 and a.biased exponent of O. The term
"undefined variable" is used to indicate that these bit patterns are not assigned a corresponding
floating-point arithmetic value. The undefined variable is also referred to as -0. The FPJll
ensures that the undefined variable will not be stored as the result of any floating-point arithmetic
instruction in a program that is run with the overflow and underflow interrupts disabled. This is
achieved by storing an exact 0 on overflow and underflow if the corresponding interrupt is
disabled.

The FPJl1 loads all instruction stream data into aprefetch huffer. TheDCJU ~sserts thePRDC ;line
when decoding instructions. PRDC is never asserted unless the prefetch buffer is valid. Floatingpoint instructions (opcode 15:12= 17) begin executign in the FPJll in patanetwith the DeJl!.
For instructions requiring data from memory, the DCJli executes the bus cycles necessary to fetch
the operands. The DCJli then continues to the next instruction after checking for a FPE from a
previous FP instruction. For register mode instruction, the DCJli continues to the next instruction
immediatdyafter,the FPE check.
. ..
The FPJl10utputs data only during store type instructions. OUtput data is supplied by the FPJll
during write cycles and GPread cycles as required. The FPJll may cancel an output cycle by
asserting theFPA FPE signal if the·previous floating-point instruction caused afloatibg-point·
exception.
The'FPJl1 asserts theFPASTL line when executing a floating-point instruction that does not
output data if the execution unit is still busy with a previous instruction. Thi! FPA STL signal is
asserted before the DCJll test for the FPA FPE signal.

An STFjD, STFPS, CFCC, or STEXP to memory instruction should be executed as the first floating.
POint storeinstmction after the powerup sequence to initialize the FPJ 11. This initialization is
performed automatically by all Digital software operating systems except MicroPowerfPascal.
Instruction or Data Reads
The FPJll inputs read data on all instruction read cycles and data read cycles that are fetching FPA
operands. Data is loaded at the high-to-low transition of the ALE signal for cache hits and again at
the high-to-Iow transition of the DV signal for main memory reads. The FPJll uses the high-to-Iow
transition of the STRB input to determine the end of the read cycle. It does not require cache hit/
miss information. The system interface read sequence is not altered by the presence of the FPJli in
the system. If the ABORT signal is asserted during a demand read cycle, the FPJll will abort the
present instruction.

TheFPJll asserts the FPA STL signal when execUting a·floating-point instruction that·dbes·not
ttansferdata if the EUis still busy with a previous instruction. This signal is asserted prior to the
DCJl1restfor It floating-pointexception.Thie FPA STLsignal is also asserted to minimiZe DMA
latency in aOCJl1 system.
The.FPA,STL signal should be OR gatedil:Jto theDC]l1DMArequest (i.5MR) input. Thesysterrt
inter£~e must assert the CONT input to the DC] 11 after the negation of FPA STL to restart program
.
execution in the DC]l1.
There are two cases when the FPJ11 will assert the FPA STL signal. The FP]l1 does not maintain a
copy of the virtual ad~ss of the executing instruction. Therefore, the DC]l1 maintains the
floating-point exception address register. The DCJll microinstrUction sequence determine~ the
extent to whkhfloating-pointlnstructions can be overlapped. The DCJl1 can be allowed to oVerlap
execution of a sUbsequent instruction only up to a point of the floating-point exception check. The
FPJ11 monitors OC]l1 microinstructions and always stalls the DC]l1 while allowing .amaximum
overlap.
During· FP]l1 load class instructions, this overlap allows the DCJllto complete data fetch
operations for a subsequent instruction before it: is stalled by the FPJ11. The effect of load class
overlap in floating-point intensive code is significant when much of the data is located in memory.
The FPJllalso asserts the FPA STL signal to limit the worst caseDMA latency of the DC] 11 'syStem:
The system interface cannot service DMA requests while wairlngfor FPJll data
a\vrite
cycle. The FP]l1 will assert this signal prior to the write cycle allowing the system interface to
serviceDMArequests if FP]11 output data will not be ready within worst case DMA latency time.
This condition can occur only if the execution.unit is executing a previous MOD or DIVD
instruction when the store instruction is decoded by the DCJll .

When it data input or o~tput transfer occurs, the direction of the transfer is controlled by the state
of the read and write lines. TheDCTll continues to issue grants by asserting the DMG signal until
the DMR signal is not asserted. The DCTll then continues its usual operation.
Becausethe DCTll . controls refresh operations based on the number of transactions. needed to
execute the PDP-llinstruction set, consecutive DMA operations are not recommended:
)
In~pt~tion
The DCTll uses a vectored, multilevel interrupt structure. Four priority levels are masked by the
upper three bits of the processor status register. The two types of interrupts are maskable and
nonmaskable.
Maskable interrupts are requested by an external device on the coded priority inputs lines cpoCP3. These requests will interrupt the processor operation according to the priority level of
interrupt codes 0 through 15. The nonmaskable interrupts are HALf and PF which are not masked
by the processor priority.
Interrupts are received on the CPO-CP3 lines when the PI signal is asserted. The processor
completes all bus transactions in the currentPDP-ll instruction before servicing the interrupt.
Interrupts are latched in the processor during read transactions. The DMR inputs are latched
during read or write transactions. The PI line must be asserted to latch either DMR or interrupts.
Each CP code is connected with a vector address in the DCT1t. A PDP-ll vector consists of two
consecutive memory locations. Vector locations are in low memory (0-376) and must be assigned by
software. The first location must contain the address of the first instruction of the interrupt service
routine. The second location contains the new processor status word. The device causing the
interrupt may provide a vector address. When it asserts the interrupt request code, it also asserts
the VEC signal on line AI5 to indicate that an external vector is present. If the VEC signal is not
asserted, the DCTll provides a predetermined vector.
In~pt Aclmowledge Transaction
The interrupt acknowledge (lACK) transaction, shown in Figure 14, starts when the current
instruction has been completed .. The priority is compared with the value in the processor status
register PSR. If the interrupting device's code has a higher priority than the present PSR value, the
interrupt request is serviced. The SELO and SELl lines indicate that the current bus transaction is
an JACK. The RAS signal is the only timing strobe asserted during lACK. When it is asserted,
DAL< 15:08> (SAL < 15:08> in 8-bit bus mode) transfer the priority interrupt code that is being
acknowledged as shown in Figure 15. The DAL < 07 :02> lines contain the vector input if the VEC
signal is asserted.

• Inititialization
The powerup (PUP) input has a Schmitt trigger that senSes transitions from low to high and has a
low-current internal puUdown device~tis alwap e~b~. WheMhe :plJINnput is forced high, all
DCTll operation stops. Figure 17 shows the signal timing for the powerupoperation. The assertion
of the PUP line causes the Ba:R signal to be asserted. The ocrJi signal enables the mode register to
be loaded with the configuration information. When the processor detects a high to low transition
on the PUP line, the powerup sequence starts. All information in the internal registers is undefined.
The information on DAL < 15:00 > and AI < 7;0> lines is also undefined. The control and
miscellaneous signals are not asserted. An externa11k 1% resistor must be connected from BeLR
input to ground to assure the correct operation.

Figure 17 • DCTll Powerup Timing Sequence
Loading the Mode Register
The DAL < 15: 00 > provide information to change the mode register settings. Figure 18 shows the
connections of the pup line to allow the BCLR signal to load the DCTll mode register information.
During the assertiono£ BCLR, DAL < 02:00 > and DAL< 15:08> are connected to internal puUup
circuits and are asserted unless driven low by the external signals. These lines contain the mode
register information and DAL < 07 :03> are in a high-impedance condition at this time. The BCLR
signal is asserted during the powerup sequence and when a RESET instruction is executed. The
mode register will accept data during the assertion of theBCLR signal.
