The Response Phase Parity
General
The RS[2:0]# signals are protected by the RSP# parity bit. RSP# is driven in each BCLK cycle of the Response Phase, it must be left high or driven low to force an even number of electrical lows in the overall 4-bit pattern. Note that if the Response Agent stalls the Response Phase (because it doesn't have the response ready to be delivered yet), proper parity must be provided for each Idle response until the actual response is driven.
