Data Sheet

1Overview

The AMD-8151TMHyperTransportTM AGP3.0 Graphics Tunnel (referred to as the IC in this document) is a HyperTransport™ technology (referred to as link in this document) tunnel developed by AMD that provides an AGP 3.0 compliant (8x transfer rate) bridge.

1.1Device Features

HyperTransport technology tunnel with side A and side B.

Side A is 16 bits (input and output); side B is 8 bits.

Either side may connect to the host or to a downstream HyperTransport technology compliant device.

Each side supports HyperTransport technol- ogy-defined reduced bit widths: 8-bit, 4-bit, and 2-bit.

Side A supports transfer rates of 1600, 1200, 800, and 400 mega-transfers per second. Side B supports transfer rates of 800 and 400 mega-transfers per second.

Maximum bandwidth is 6.4 gigabytes per second across side A (half upstream and half downstream) and 1.6 gigabytes per second across side B.

Independent transfer rate and bit width selection for each side.

Link disconnect protocol supported.

AGP 8x bridge.

Compliance with AGP 3.0 specification sig- naling, supporting 4x and 8x transfer rates.

Compliance with AGP 2.0 specification 1.5- volt signaling, supporting 1x, 2x, and 4x data-transfer modes.

Supports up to 32 outstanding requests.

31 x 31 millimeter, 564-ball BGA package.

1.5 volt AGP signaling; some 3.3 volt IO; 1.2 volt link signaling; 1.8 volt core.
