    摘要: An external bus master (205) accesses a DRAM (207) using a memory controller (804) internal to a data processor (3) without the use of external multiplexers or any other external circuitry. The need for external multiplexers and even a dedicated integrated circuit pin for providing external control during external master initiated DRAM accesses is removed by the implementation of a circuit and technique for multiplexing row and column addresses of the DRAM internally within the data processor.

    摘要: A bus protocol uses signals to designate a bus transfer termination (BTT*) and a bus grant relinquish (BGR*). The BTT* signal is an output which is asserted by a bus master which currently has ownership of a bus to indicate to other potential bus masters that a bus transfer is complete and that bus ownership may be transferred to another bus master. The BGR* signal is an input to a bus master. When BGR* is asserted, a bus arbiter/controller is informing the current bus master that the bus must be relinquished as soon as possible, after the deassertion of the Bus Grant signal, with no regard for locked sequences. If BGR* is deasserted, the bus arbiter is informing the current bus master that the bus can be relinquished at a time which is convenient for the current bus master. In general, BGR* is a bit which indicates the urgency of a pending bus ownership transfer.

    摘要: An output driver circuit has a circuitry portion (70) which is used to generate a Drive-Hi control signal in response to an Output Enable, an optional Precondition signal, and a Data Input signal. A circuit portion (75) ensures that the Drive-Hi control signal is maintained at a voltage which is substantially equal to Vdd when the Output Enable is deactivated. Circuit portion (80) selectively controls the Data Output by driving Vdd onto the Data Output in response to the Drive-Hi control signal being activated. A circuit portion (100) functions to selectively drive the Data Output to a logic zero (ground potential) when a Drive-Lo signal is asserted. Circuit portions (90 and 95) generate the Drive-Lo signal in response to the Output Enable, the optional Precondition signal, and the Data Input signal. In general, the output driver circuit allows an integrated circuit powered at a first voltage to interface to another integrated circuit which is powered at a higher second voltage without loss of performance, without excessive leakage currents, without crossover current, and without increasing gate oxide stresses.
