Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Split Transaction Limit (STL): This field is R/W to accommodate diagnostic software that

RW

FFFFh

might want to use it. The field is not used by the Intel® 41210 Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge

 

for modifying its “commitment” level. The 41210 internal launch algorithms prevent buffers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from being over-allocated.

RO

FFFFh

Split Transaction Capacity (STC): Due to the internal launch algorithm, the 41210 always

 

has capacity for its outstanding split transactions.
