摘要
A microcomputer system includes a microprocessor, a cache memroy, and a cache controller all coupled to a local bus. The local bus is coupled to a sytem bus, connecting the remaining system components, through latches. When writing data, the microcomputer can perform a posted write to a unit on the system bus by writing the data into the latches and then, on receipt of a ready signal from the cache controller, continuing its operations without waiting for the data to pas to its destination. A problem arises if the data is posted to a unit with a data width less than that of the microprocessor. In this case, the data should be sent in multiple cycles, but the read signal is generated before the data width of the unit is known and the microprocessor then continues its operations and can not, therefore, transmit the data correctly. To solve this problem, a logic unit is added to monitor the ready signal and the output of a decoder which detects non-cacheable addresses (which are of data width different from the microprocessor data width). If a non-cacheable address is detected, the read signal from the cache controller through the logic unit is withheld from the microprocessor, which now waits to continue processing beyond the write until a ready signal is received from the addressed unit on the system bus.
