82C89
CMOS Bus Arbiter
The Intersil 82C89 Bus Arbiter is manufactured using a self-
aligned silicon gate CMOS process (Scaled SAJI IV). This
circuit, along with the 82C88 bus controller, provides full bus
arbitration 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
coordinated. The 82C89 also provides high output current and
capacitive 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
performance equal to or greater than existing equivalent
products at a significant power savings.

: The +5V Power supply pin. A 0.1F capacitor between pins 10 and 20 is recommended for decoupling.
GROUND.
STATUS INPUT PINS: The status input pins from an 80C86, 80C88 or 8089 processor. The 82C89 decodes
these pins to initiate bus request and surrender actions. (See Table 1).
CLOCK: From the 82C84A or 82C85 clock chip and serves to establish when bus arbiter actions are initiated.
LOCK: A processor generated signal which when activated (low) prevents the arbiter from surrendering the multi-
master system bus to any other bus arbiter, regardless of its priority.
COMMON REQUEST LOCK: An active low signal which prevents the arbiter from surrendering the multi-master
system bus to any other bus arbiter requesting the bus through the CBRQ input pin.
RESIDENT BUS: A strapping option to configure the arbiter to operate in systems having both a multi-master
system bus and a Resident Bus. Strapped high, the multi-master system bus is requested or surrendered as a
function of the SYSB/RESB input pin. Strapped low, the SYSB/RESB input is ignored.
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 Information. 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 surrender the multi-master system bus after each transfer cycle. Note that when
surrender occurs BREQ is driven false (high).
IO BUS: A strapping option which configures the 82C89 Arbiter to operate in systems having both an IO Bus
(Peripheral Bus) and a multi-master system bus. The arbiter requests and surrenders the use of the multi-master
system bus as a function of the status line, S2. The multi-master system bus is permitted to be surrendered while
the processor is performing IO commands and is requested whenever the processor performs a memory
command. Interrupt cycles are assumed as coming from the peripheral bus and are treated as an IO command.
ADDRESS ENABLE: The output of the 82C89 Arbiter to the processor’s address latches, to the 82C88 Bus
Controller and 82C84A or 82C85 Clock Generator. AEN serves to instruct the Bus Controller and address latches
when to three-state their output drivers.
INITIALIZE: An active low multi-master system bus input signal used to reset all the bus arbiters on the multi-
master system bus. After initialization, no arbiters have the use of the multi-master system bus.

DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM BUS/RESIDENT BUS: An input signal when the arbiter is configured in the System/Resident Mode
(RESB is strapped high) which determines when the multi-master system bus is requested 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 permitted on this pin (no glitches). If a glitch occurs, the arbiter may capture or miss it,
and the multi-master 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.
COMMON BUS REQUEST: An input signal which instructs the arbiter if there are any other arbiters 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-master system bus to be surrendered after each
transfer cycle. See the pin definition of ANYRQST.
BUS CLOCK: The multi-master system bus clock to which all multi-master system bus interface signals are
synchronized.
BUS REQUEST: An active low output signal in the Parallel Priority Resolving Scheme which the arbiter activates
to request the use of the multi-master system bus.
BUS PRIORITY IN: The active low signal returned to the arbiter to instruct it that it may acquire the multi-master
system bus on the next falling edge of BCLK. BPRN active indicates to the arbiter that it is the highest priority
requesting arbiter presently on the bus. The loss of BPRN instructs the arbiter that it has lost priority to a higher
priority arbiter.
BUS PRIORITY OUT: An active low output signal used in the serial priority resolving scheme where BPRO is
daisy-chained to BPRN of the next lower priority arbiter.
BUSY: An active low open-drain multi-master system bus interface signal used to instruct all the arbiters on the
bus when the multi-master system bus is available. When the multi-master system bus is available the highest
requesting arbiter (determined by BPRN) seizes the bus and pulls 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 processor 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 processor 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 processor 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 priority
master is not accessing the system bus. A strapping option
(ANYRQST) is provided to allow the arbiter to surrender 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
system bus, some means of resolving priority between bus
masters simultaneously requesting the bus must be provided.
The 82C89 Bus Arbiter provides several resolving techniques.
All the techniques are based on a priority concept that at a
given time one bus master will have priority above all the rest.
There are provisions for using parallel priority resolving
techniques, serial priority resolving techniques, and rotating
priority techniques.

NOTES:

2. Higher priority bus arbiter then acquires the bus and pulls BUSY
down.
3. Lower priority bus arbiter releases BUSY.
4. Higher priority bus arbiter then acquires the bus and pulls BUSY
down.
Parallel Priority Resolving
The parallel priority resolving technique uses a separate bus
request line BREQ for each arbiter on the multi-master system
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 recognizes 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 timing 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 priority resolving scheme employed to
settle.

Serial Priority Resolving
The serial priority resolving technique eliminates the need for
the priority encoder-decoder arrangement by daisychaining 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.

FIGURE 3. SERIAL PRIORITY RESOLVING
NOTE: The number of arbiters that may be daisy-chained together
in the serial priority resolving scheme is a function of BCLK and the
propagation delay from arbiter to arbiter. Normally, at 10MHz only 3
arbiters may be daisychained.
BPRN
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
system bus clock (BCLK). The parallel priority resolving
technique 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.
has only one master, providing full availability 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 configures 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 possible I/O
Processor system configuration.
The 80C86 and 80C88 processors can communicate with a
Resident Bus and a multi-master system bus. Two bus
controllers and only one Bus Arbiter would be needed in such
a configuration as shown in Figure 6. In such a system
configuration 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 arbiter
as to whether or not the system bus is to be accessed. The
signal connected to SYSB/RESB also enables or disables
commands from one of the bus controllers. A summary of the
modes that the 82C89 has, along with its response to its status
lines inputs, is shown in Table 1.
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 system bus. The
second, the RESB (Resident Bus mode), permits 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
