High ImpedanceÑSame as A[0Ð31].
7.2.4.4  Global (GBL)
The global (GBL) signal is an input/output signal on the MPC8260.
7.2.4.4.1  Global (GBL)ÑOutput
Following are the state meaning and timing comments for the GBL output signal.
State Meaning
AssertedÑIndicates that the transaction is global and should be 
snooped by other devices. GBL reßects the M bit (WIM bits) from 
the MMU except during certain transactions.
NegatedÑIndicates that the transaction is not global and should not 
be snooped by other devices.
Timing Comments
Assertion/NegationÑSame as A[0Ð31].
High ImpedanceÑSame as A[0Ð31].
7.2.4.4.2  Global (GBL)ÑInput
Following are the state meaning and timing comments for the GBL input signal.
State Meaning
AssertedÑIndicates that a transaction must be snooped by 
MPC8260.
NegatedÑIndicates that a transaction should not be snooped by 
MPC8260. (In addition, certain non-global transactions are snooped 
for reservation coherency.) 
Timing Comments
Assertion/NegationÑSame as A[0Ð31].
7.2.4.5  Caching-Inhibited (CI)ÑOutput
The cache inhibit (CI) signal is an output signal on the MPC8260. Following are the state
meaning and timing comments for CI.
State Meaning
AssertedÑIndicates that the transaction in progress should not be 
cached. CI reßects the I bit (WIM bits) from the MMU except during 
certain transactions.
NegatedÑIndicates that the transaction should be cached.
Timing Comments
Assertion/NegationÑSame as A[0Ð31].
High ImpedanceÑSame as A[0Ð31].
7.2.4.6  Write-Through (WT)ÑOutput
The write-through (WT) signal is an output signal on the MPC8260. Following are the state
meaning and timing comments for WT.
State Meaning
AssertedÑIndicates that the transaction should operate in write-
through mode. WT reßects the W bit (WIM bits) from the MMU 
except during certain transactions. WT may be asserted during read 
transactions.
