    摘要: A link system controller is interposed between a PCI bus and the data bus and memory data bus of a personal computer system to normally allow transfer of write information from the PCI bus to DRAM memories on the memory data bus. Whenever a request is made for the transfer of data to the CPU data bus, a CPU bus interface controller requests release of the system from the DRAM controller. The DRAM controller then grants permission or releases control to the CPU bus interface whenever the DRAM controller is not writing data out to the DRAM data bus. When this release is effected, the transfer of write data to the memory data bus is prevented and transfer of data to the CPU data bus is enabled. This prevents simultaneous switching of the devices on both the CPU data bus and the memory data bus, to reduce the generation of noise; so that the operation of the IC system device is not impaired.

    摘要: A method and system are designed to guarantee availability of ownership of an ISA bus by a bus mastering or a direct memory access device in a system also including a PCI bus. This is accomplished by placing a lock on the PCI bus through a bridge device to a configuration read of a PCI configuration space register. Once the lock is established, other PCI devices are prevented from locking any other resource on the PCI bus. The PCI configuration space exists outside of the memory or I/O ranges to which an ISA resident device can generate access. Consequently, whenever the ISA resident device generates its access, it is to a device known not to be in a locked state. Consequently, the bus transaction is capable of completion within the time limit expected by the ISA resident device.
