• After a signal on the RESET pin, certain registers of 80386 are
set to predefined values.

• These values are adequate to enable execution of a bootstrap

program.

 Processor State after RESET
• Contents of EAX depends on results power-up self test

• Self-test may be requested externally by assertion of BUSY# at the end of

RESET (EAX=0 if the 80386 passed the test, else 80386 unit is faulty)

• If self-test is not requested , EAX is undefined

• DX holds a component identifier and revision number

(DH=3, indicates 80386, DL=unique identifier of the revision level)

 I/O Organization

The 80386 allows input/output to be performed in either of two

ways:
a. By means of a separate I/O address space (using specific I/O
instructions)

b. By means of memory-mapped I/O (using general purpose

operand manipulation instructions )

03/30/2024 11
 a) Separate I/O address space
(An Isolated I/O)
 I/O devices treated separately from memory.
• Hardware and software architecture of
8088/8086 support separate memory I/O
address space.

 M/IO- signal is always low when 80386 is executing

these instructions.

 Can be treated as either independent byte-wide I/O

ports or word-wide I/O ports.

 Page 0:
• Certain I/O instructions can only perform
operations to ports in this part of the address
range.
• Other I/O instructions can input/output data for
ports anywhere in the address space.
03/30/2024 12
 a) Separate I/O address space
(An Isolated I/O)
Advantages: -
 1 MByte memory address space is available for use
with memory.
 Special instructions have been provided in the
instruction set of 8088/8086 to perform isolated
I/O input and output operations.
 These instructions have been tailored to maximize
I/O performance.

Disadvantages: -
 All input and output data transfers must take place
between AL or AX register and the I/O port

03/30/2024 13
 b) Memory-mapped I/O
I/O devices is placed in memory
address space of the
microcomputer.
• The memory address space is
assigned to I/O devices.

• look at the I/O port as though it is

a storage location in memory.

• Make use of instructions that

affect data in memory rather than
special input/output instructions.

03/30/2024 14
 b) Memory-mapped I/O
Advantages:
 Many more instructions and addressing
modes are available to perform I/O
operations.
 I/O transfers can now take place
between I/O port and internal registers
other than just AL/AX.

Disadvantages:
 Memory instructions tend to execute
slower than those specifically designed
for isolated I/O.
 Part of the memory address space is lost

03/30/2024 15
 Memory Organization (Memory Banks)
• 80386DX has 32 bit address bus so it can access upto 4G-bytes of
memory location.
• Address ranges from 00000000H through FFFFFFFFH and 80386DX
can access data in this memory as byte, word or double word.
• Words are accessed from two consecutive memory locations.
• To implement this entire memory is divided into four independent
byte-wide memory banks: Bank0 to Bank3.
• Each bank is 1G-byte in size.
 Memory Organization (Memory Banks)
• Bank 0, bank1, bank 2, bank 3 are selected using byte enable signals
̅B̅̅ E̅ 0, ̅B̅̅ E̅ 1, ̅B̅̅ E̅ 2, ̅B̅̅ E̅ 3 signals respectively.
 Memory Organization (Memory Banks)
• Address lines A31-A2 are connected in parallel to all memory banks which make it possible to
access 1G-byte of memory.
• MOV WORD PTR DS: [2000H], 678H This instruction writes 78 to address 2000H and 56 to
address 2001H
• Similarly, when 80386 accesses Dword from address divisible by 4, it uses four consecutive
memory locations. This works fine when 80386 accesses even byte in case of word access and
address divisible by 4 in case of Dword access, since address on the A31-A2 lines is same for
word as well as Dword access.
• The data transfers using such addresses are called Aligned transfers. But to access word from odd
address or to access Dwords from address not divisible by 4 unaligned 80386 faces problem in
placing the correct address on the address bus. This problem is solved by replacing two address
pins AO and Al with four byte enable pins.
 I/O Instructions

There are two classes of I/O instruction:

1. Those that transfer a single item (byte, word, or doubleword)
located in a register.

2. Those that transfer strings of items (strings of bytes, words, or

doublewords) located in memory.

These are known as "string I/O instructions" or "block I/O

instructions".

03/30/2024 19
 Register I/O Instructions

• The I/O instructions IN and OUT

are provided to move data
between I/O ports and the EAX
(32-bit I/O), the AX (I6-bit I/O), or
AL (8-bit I/O) general registers.

• IN and OUT instructions

addresses I/O ports either
directly, with the address of one of
up to 256 port

03/30/2024 20
 Block I/O Instructions

• The block (or string) I/O instructions INS and OUTS move blocks of
data between I/O ports and memory space.

• Block I/O instructions use the DX register to specify the address of a

port in the I/O address space.

• Block I/O instructions use either SI or DI to designate the source or

destination memory address.

• For each transfer, SI or DI are automatically either incremented or

decremented as specified by the direction bit in the flags register.

03/30/2024 21

Basic memory Read & Write Cycles with Timing Diagram

• The internal and external bus operations of 80386 are synchronized

by clock signal
• The 80386 perform variety of machine (bus) cycles in response to
internal requirements and external requirements.
• There are seven types of machine (bus) cycle/operations.

1. Memory read 2. Memory write

3. I/O read 4. I/O write
5. Instruction fetch 6. Interrupt acknowledge
7. Halt/Shut down
 Bus cycles of 80386
• In each machine cycles corresponding status signals are activated.
• The memory read and memory write machine cycles can be locked
to prevent another bus master from using the bus
• In each machine cycles corresponding status signals are activated.
• The memory read and memory write machine cycles can be locked
to prevent another bus master from using the bus.
 Bus cycles of 80386

25
Bus Cycles of 80386

26
 System Clock
• System clock syrchronizes the internal and external bus
operations in the 80386DX.
• The 80386DX can operate on four different clock speeds
1. 80386DX - 16 (16 MHz)
2. 80386DX - 20 (20 MHz)
3. 80386DX - 25 (2s MHz)
4. 80386DX- 33 (33 MHz)
• Operating frequency of the 80386DX is half of, the CLK2
frequency.
• Therefore, CLK2 of an 80386DX - 20 is driven by 40 MHz
signal.
27
28
 Bus states
• Each machine (bus) cycle consists of at least two bus states
T1 and T2,
• and each bus state consists of two CLK cycles.
1. During the first bus state (T1), address and bus status pin are
active.
2. During the second bus state (T2), actual data lransfer takes
place.
• The 80386 DX can perform two types of machine cycles :
1. Nonpipelined
2. Pipelined.

29
 Dynamic Bus Sizing
• Dynamic data bus sizing is a feature allowing direct processor
connection to 32-bit or 16-bit data buses for memory or I/O.
• A single processor may connect to both size buses
• Transfers to or from 32 to 16 bit ports are supported by dynamically
determining the bus width during each machine cycle.
• The 80386DX microprocessor's bus size 16 (BS-16 [Bar/Complement]) )
input is used to inform the 80386DX at the currently addressed
device is a 16-bit device rather than a 32-bit device‘

30
 Nonpipelined Bus Cycle

During T1, the 803B6DX sends the address, bus status signal and control
signals.
In case of write cycle, data to be output is also send on the data bus,
during T1.
After address access time, read or write data transfer takes place over the
data bus. 31

This activity is carried out in T2.

 Pipelined Bus Cycle
• Pipelining allows machine cycles to be overlapped.
• The main advantage of pipelining is that it increases the
amount of time required for the memory or I/O device
to respond.
• This time is also referred as access time.
• The 80386DX implements pipelining by overlapping
addressing of the next bus cycle with the data transfer of
previous bus cycle.

Here, address becomes valid in T2 state of the previous

bus cycle, and the data transfer for address takes place in
T2-state of the current bus cycle.

32
• IMP Internet Protocol address: address An + 1 becomes valid
during T2 of the current bus cycle and actual data transfer
for address An + 1 takes place in T2 state of the next bus
cycle.
• If the processor is 80386DX-20 then one T-state time is 50
ns.
• In pipelined bus cycle the access time for memory and I/O
device is 100 ns whereas access time for memory and l/O
device in nonpipelined bus cycle is approximately 50 ns.

33
34
 Non-Pipelined Read Cycle
The sequence of events for the
nonpipelined read cycle:
1. The read operation starts at the beginning of
phase in the T1 state of the bus cycle.
2. In this phase, 80386DX sends the address on
the address bus and enables signals(BE0 (Bar) -
BE3 (Bar)) according to data transfer type.
3. In the same phase, it activates ADS (Bar) signal
to indicate valid address is placed on the
address bus.
4. In phase 1 of T1 - state it also activates the
bus cycle definition signals : M/IO, D/C and
W/R. 35
 Non-Pipelined Read Cycle
5. At the beginning of phase 1 of T2 state,
external device activates BS16 (BAR) signal.
6. Then samples this signal in the middle of
phase 1 of T2-state.
• 32-bit data transfer: If BS16 (BAR) =1
• 16-bit data transfer: If BS16 (BAR) =0
7. The 80386 DX does this data transfer in
phase 2 of T2-state.
8. At the end of phase 2 of T2-state the
READY (BAR) signal is sampled.
9. The logic 1 on this signal inserts wait
state in the current bus cycle to extend
the bus cycle. 36
 Non-Pipelined Read Cycle
10. The LOCK (Bar) signal low
indicates that it is bus
locked cycle.
11. If bus cycles are locked the
other bus master is not
allowed to take control of
the bus between two
locked bus cycles.

37
 Non-Pipelined Write Cycle
The sequence of events for the
nonpipelined read cycle:
1. It is similar to nonpipelined read
cycle.
2. The write operation starts at the
beginning of phase 1 in the T1 state of
the bus cycle.
3. In this phase, 80386DX sends the
address on the address bus and
enables signals BE0(Bar) -BE3(Bar)
according to data transfer type.
4. After sending address in the same
phase it activates its ADS(Bar) signal to
indicate valid address is placed on 38
the address bus.
 Non-Pipelined Write Cycle
10. In phase 1 of T1-state it also activates
the bus cycle definition signals M/IO,
D/C and W/R
11. At the beginning of phase 2 of T1-state,
it sends data on the data bus. This
data remains valid until the start of
phase 2 of the T1-state of the next bus
cycle.
12. At the end of phase 2 of T1- state,
ADS(Bar) is returned to its inactive logic
1 states.
13. The address bus, byte enable pins, and
bus status pins remain active through
the end of the write cycle. 39
 Non-Pipelined Write Cycle
10. In the middle of phase
1 of T2-State,
80386DX samples
BS16(Bar) input.
11. If this signal is high,
80386 DX does the
32-bit data transfer
otherwise 80386DX
performs 16-bit data
transfer.

40
 Non-pipelined read & write cycles
• At the end of the second bus state
within the bus cycle, READY# is
sampled

• If asserted the bus cycle terminates

• Else the cycle continues another bus

state (a wait state) and READY# is
sampled again at the end of that state.

• This continues indefinitely until the

cycle is acknowledged by READY#
asserted.

03/30/2024 41
 Pipelined read & write cycles

• In the pipelined bus cycle

the address for the next
bus cycle is sent during
the T2 - state of the
current cycle.
• NA (next address) signal
initiates address
pipelining.

42
 Pipelined read & write cycles
• It then samples NA signal at
the beginning of phase 2 of
any T state in which ADS is
not active, specifically.
 In the second T-state of a non-
pipelined address cycle
 In the first T-state of a
pipelined address cycle
 In any wait state of a non-
pipelined address or pipelined
address cycle unless NA has
already been sampled active 43
 Pipelined read & write cycles
The NA(Bar) is tested as 0
(active) during T2 of cycle
2 which ensures that
80386DX has to execute
next cycle as pipelined bus
cycle.
The cycle 2 (nonpipelined read
cycle) is also extended
with one wait state
because READY pin is not
active,
in wait state, the valid address
for the next bus cycle is
sent on the address bus as
next bus cycle is pipelined
bus cycle.
44
 Pipelined read & write cycles
The next cycle (cycle 3) is
pipelined write cycle.
In this, data is sent on the data
bus in phase 2 of T1p-state
and remains valid for the
rest of the cycle.
The READY signal is sampled at
the end of T2p - state.
As it is low, write cycle is
completed without wait
state.

45
 Pipelined read & write cycles

The next cycle (cycle 4) is

pipelined read cycle.
In this, READY signal is
tested 0 at the end of
phase 2 of T2p - state.
This means that read cycle is
completed without
wait state.
It is important to note that
due to pipelined address
cycle, access time is
extended and one state
(T-wait) of read cycle is
saved

which to place the entry
• Move a doubleword to TR6 that contains the appropriate linear address, and
values for V, D, U, and W. Be sure C=0 for "write" command.

 To look up (read) a TLB entry

• Move a doubleword to TR6 that contains the appropriate linear address and
attributes. Be sure C = 1 for "lookup" command
• Store TR 7. If the HT bit in TR 7 indicates a hit, then the other values reveal
the TLB contents. If HT indicates a miss, then the other values in TR 7 are
indeterminate
