Description
The Intersil 82C89 Bus Arbiter is manufactured using a self-
aligned silicon gate CMOS process (Scaled SAJI IV). This cir-
cuit, along with the 82C88 bus controller, provides full bus arbi-
tration and control for multi-processor systems. The 82C89 is
typically used in medium to large 80C86 or 80C88 systems
where access to the bus by several processors must be coordi-
nated. The 82C89 also provides high output current and capac-
itive drive to eliminate the need for additional bus buffering.
Static CMOS circuit design insures low operating power. The
advanced Intersil SAJI CMOS process results in perfor-
mance equal to or greater than existing equivalent products
at a significant power savings.

RESIDENT BUS: A strapping option to configure the arbiter to operate in systems having both a

ANY REQUEST: A strapping option which permits the multi-master system bus to be surrendered
to a lower priority arbiter as if it were an arbiter of higher priority (i.e., when a lower priority arbiter
requests the use of the multi-master system bus, the bus is surrendered as soon as it is possible).
When ANYRQST is strapped low, the bus is surrendered according to Table A in Design Informa-
tion. If ANYRQST is strapped high and CBRQ is activated, the bus is surrendered at the end of
the present bus cycle. Strapping CBRQ low and ANYRQST high forces the 82C89 arbiter to sur-
render the multi-master system bus after each transfer cycle. Note that when surrender occurs
BREQ is driven false (high).

SYSTEM BUS/RESIDENT BUS: An input signal when the arbiter is configured in the System/Res-
ident Mode (RESB is strapped high) which determines when the multi-master system bus is re-
quested and multi-master system bus surrendering is permitted. The signal is intended to originate
from a form of address-mapping circuitry, such as a decoder or PROM attached to the resident
address bus. Signal transitions and glitches are permitted on this pin from
1 of T4 to
1 of T2 of
the processor cycle. During the period from
1 of T2 to
1 of T4, only clean transitions are permit-
ted on this pin (no glitches). If a glitch occurs, the arbiter may capture or miss it, and the multi-mas-
ter system bus may be requested or surrendered, depending upon the state of the glitch. The
arbiter requests the multi-master system bus in the System/Resident Mode when the state of the
SYSB/RESB pin is high and permits the bus to be surrendered when this pin is low.
CBRQ

COMMON BUS REQUEST: An input signal which instructs the arbiter if there are any other arbi-
ters of lower priority requesting the use of the multi-master system bus.
The CBRQ pins (open-drain output) of all the 82C89 Bus Arbiters which surrender to the multi-
master system bus upon request are connected together.
The Bus Arbiter running the current transfer cycle will not itself pull the CBRQ line low. Any other
arbiter connected to the CDRQ line can request the multi-master system bus. The arbiter presently
running the current transfer cycle drops its BREQ signal and surrenders the bus whenever the
proper surrender conditions exist. Strapping CBRQ low and ANYRQST high allows the multi-mas-
ter system bus to be surrendered after each transfer cycle. See the pin definition of ANYRQST.

BUSY low to keep other arbiters off of the bus. When the arbiter is done with the bus, it releases
the BUSY signal, permitting it to go high and thereby allowing another arbiter to acquire the multi-
master system bus.

Functional Description
The 82C89 Bus Arbiter operates in conjunction with the
82C88 Bus Controller to interface 80C86, 80C88 processors
to a multi-master system bus (both the 80C86 and 80C88
are configured in their max mode). The processor is
unaware of the arbiter's existence and issues commands as
though it has exclusive use of the system bus. If the proces-
sor does not have the use of the multi-master system bus,
the arbiter prevents the Bus Controller (82C88), the data
transceivers and the address latches from accessing the
system bus (e.g. all bus driver outputs are forced into the
high impedance state). Since the command sequence was
not issued by the 82C88, the system bus will appear as "Not
Ready" and the processor will enter wait states. The proces-
sor will remain in Wait until the Bus Arbiter acquires the use
of the multi-master system bus whereupon the arbiter will
allow the bus controller, the data transceivers, and the
address latches to access the system. Typically, once the
command has been issued and a data transfer has taken
place, a transfer acknowledge (XACK) is returned to the pro-
cessor to indicate "READY" from the accessed slave device.
The processor then completes its transfer cycle. Thus the
arbiter serves to multiplex a processor (or bus master) onto
a multi-master system bus and avoid contention problems
between bus masters.
Arbitration Between Bus Masters
In general, higher priority masters obtain the bus when a
lower priority master completes its present transfer cycle.
Lower priority bus masters obtain the bus when a higher pri-
ority master is not accessing the system bus. A strapping
option (ANYRQST) is provided to allow the arbiter to surren-
der the bus to a lower priority master as though it were a
master of higher priority. If there are no other bus masters
requesting the bus, the arbiter maintains the bus so long as
its processor has not entered the HALT State. The arbiter will
not voluntarily surrender the system bus and has to be forced
off by another master's bus request, the HALT State being
the only exception. Additional strapping options permit other
modes of operation wherein the multi-master system bus is
surrendered or requested under different sets of conditions.
Priority Resolving Techniques
Since there can be many bus masters on a multi-master sys-
tem bus, some means of resolving priority between bus
masters simultaneously requesting the bus must be pro-
vided. The 82C89 Bus Arbiter provides several resolving
techniques. All the techniques are based on a priority con-
cept that at a given time one bus master will have priority
above all the rest. There are provisions for using parallel pri-
ority resolving techniques, serial priority resolving tech-
niques, and rotating priority techniques.
Parallel Priority Resolving
The parallel priority resolving technique uses a separate bus
request line BREQ for each arbiter on the multi-master sys-
tem bus, see Figure 1. Each BREQ line enters into a priority
encoder which generates the binary address of the highest
priority BREQ line which is active. The binary address is
decoded by a decoder to select the corresponding BPRN
(Bus Priority In) line to be returned to the highest priority
requesting arbiter. The arbiter receiving priority (BPRN true)
then allows its associated bus master onto the multi-master
system bus as soon as it becomes available (i.e., the bus is
no longer busy). When one bus arbiter gains priority over
another arbiter it cannot immediately seize the bus, it must
wait until the present bus transaction is complete. Upon
completing its transaction the present bus occupant recog-
nizes that it no longer has priority and surrenders the bus by
releasing BUSY. BUSY is an active low "OR" tied signal line
which goes to every bus arbiter on the system bus. When
BUSY goes inactive (high), the arbiter which presently has
bus priority (BPRN true) then seizes the bus and pulls BUSY
low to keep other arbiters off of the bus. See waveform tim-
ing diagram, Figure 2. Note that all multimaster system bus
transactions are synchronized to the bus clock (BCLK). This
allows the parallel priority resolving circuitry or any other pri-
ority resolving scheme employed to settle.

Serial Priority Resolving
The serial priority resolving technique eliminates the need
for the priority encoder-decoder arrangement by daisychain-
ing the bus arbiters together, connecting the higher priority
bus arbiter's BPRO (Bus Priority Out) output to the BPRN of
the next lower priority. See Figure 3.
Rotating Priority Resolving
The rotating priority resolving technique is similar to that of
the parallel priority resolving technique except that priority is
dynamically re-assigned. The priority encoder is replaced by
a more complex circuit which rotates priority between
requesting arbiters thus allowing each arbiter an equal
chance to use the multi-master system bus, over time.
Which Priority Resolving Technique To Use
There are advantages and disadvantages for each of the
techniques described above. The rotating priority resolving
technique requires substantial external logic to implement
while the serial technique uses no external logic but can
accommodate only a limited number of bus arbiters before the
daisy-chain propagation delay exceeds the multimaster's sys-
tem bus clock (BCLK). The parallel priority resolving tech-
nique is in general a good compromise between the other two
techniques. It allows for many arbiters to be present on the
bus while not requiring too much logic to implement.
82C89 Modes Of Operation
There are two types of processors for which the 82C89 will
provide support: An Input/Output processor (i.e. an NMOS
8089 IOP) and the 80C86, 80C88. Consequently, there are
two basic operating modes in the 82C89 bus arbiter. One,
the IOB (I/O Peripheral Bus) mode, permits the processor
access to both an I/O Peripheral Bus and a multi-master sys-
tem bus. The second, the RESB (Resident Bus mode), per-
mits the processor to communicate over both a Resident
Bus and a multi-master system bus. An I/O Peripheral Bus is
a bus where all devices on that bus, including memory, are
treated as I/O devices and are addressed by I/O commands.
All memory commands are directed to another bus, the
multi-master system bus. A Resident Bus can issue both
memory and I/O commands, but it is a distinct and separate
bus from the multi-master system bus. The distinction is that
the Resident Bus has only one master, providing full avail-
ability and being dedicated to that one master.
The IOB strapping option configures the 82C89 Bus Arbiter
into the IOB mode and the strapping option RESB config-
ures it into the RESB mode. It might be noted at this point
that if both strapping options are strapped false, the arbiter
interfaces the processor to a multi-master system bus only
(see Figure 4). With both options strapped true, the arbiter
interfaces the processor to a multi-master system bus, a
Resident Bus, and an I/O Bus.
In the IOB mode, the processor communicates and controls
a host of peripherals over the Peripheral Bus. When the I/O
Processor needs to communicate with system memory, it
does so over the system memory bus. Figure 5 shows a pos-
sible I/O Processor system configuration.
The 80C86 and 80C88 processors can communicate with a
Resident Bus and a multi-master system bus. Two bus con-
trollers and only one Bus Arbiter would be needed in such a
configuration as shown in Figure 6. In such a system config-
uration the processor would have access to memory and
peripherals of both busses. Memory mapping techniques are
applied to select which bus is to be accessed. The
SYSB/RESB input on the arbiter serves to instruct the arbi-
ter as to whether or not the system bus is to be accessed.
The signal connected to SYSB/RESB also enables or dis-
ables commands from one of the bus controllers. A sum-
mary of the modes that the 82C89 has, along with its
response to its status lines inputs, is shown in Table 1.
