6.2.5.1 Sub-ISA Bus Cycles
The ISA bus controller issues multiple ISA cycles to satisfy
PCI transactions that are larger than 16 bits. A full 32-bit
read or write results in two 16-bit ISA transactions or four 8-
bit ISA transactions. The ISA controller gathers the data
from multiple ISA read cycles and returns TRDY# to the
PCI bus.
SA[23:0] are a concatenation of ISA LA[23:17] and
SA[19:0] and perform equivalent functionality at a reduced
pin count.
Figure 6-2 shows the relationship between a PCI cycle and
the corresponding ISA cycle generated.
Note: Not all signals described in Figure 6-2 are available
externally. See Section 3.4.7 "Sub-ISA Interface
Signals" on page 57 for more information about
which Sub-ISA signals are externally available on
the SC3200.
6.2.5.2 Sub-ISA Support of Delayed PCI
Transactions
Multiple PCI cycles occur for every slower ISA cycle. This
prevents slow PCI cycles from occupying too much band-
width and allows access to other PCI traffic. Figure 6-3 on
page 147 shows the relationship of PCI cycles to an ISA
cycle with PCI delayed transactions enabled.
