________ signal is sent by the initiator to indicate the duration of the transaction.
________ signal is sent by the initiator to indicate the duration of the transaction.
Right Answer is:
FRAME#
SOLUTION
- FRAME# signal is sent by the initiator to indicate the duration of the transaction.
- The initiator also asserts the FRAME# signal to indicate the presence of a valid start address and transaction type on the bus.
- Since the initiator only presents the start address and command for one PCI clock cycle.
- It is the responsibility of every PCI target device to latch the address and command on the next rising edge of the clock so that it may subsequently be decoded.
