2.4.3 Upper and Lower Data Strobes (UDSB, LDSB), and Data Strobe
(DSB)
These active-low, three-state signals and RWB control the flow of data on the data bus.
Table 2-2 lists the combinations of these signals and the corresponding data on the bus.
When the RWB line is a logic high, the SCM68000 reads from the data bus. When the RWB
line is a logic low, the SCM68000 writes to the data bus. In the case of an 8-bit write in 16-
bit mode, the same data will be on both D7–D0 and D15–D8.
In 8-bit mode, UDSB is always forced high and only the LDSB signal and RWB are used to
control the flow of data on the data bus.
Table 2-3 lists the combinations of these signals
and the corresponding data on the bus. When the RWB line is a logic high, the SCM68000
reads from the data bus. When the RWB line is a logic low, the SCM68000 drives the data
bus.
DSB is an active-low, three-state output signal that is asserted whenever LDSB or UDSB is
asserted.
2.4.4 Data Transfer Acknowledge (DTACKB)
This active-low input indicates the completion of the data transfer. When the SCM68000 rec-
ognizes DTACKB during a read cycle, data is latched and the bus cycle is terminated. When
DTACKB is recognized during a write cycle, the data bus enters a high-impedance state and
the bus cycle is terminated.
2.4.5 Data Transfer Size (SIZ1–SIZ0)
These active-high, three-state output signals provide information on the size of the operand
transfer. These outputs indicate the number of bytes to be transferred in the current bus
cycle.
Table 2-4 indicates the size signal encoding.
