Description

 

 

 

 

 

Parity Error: PERR# is driven by an external PCI device when it receives data that has a parity error.

A_PERR#

 

PERR# is driven by the 41210 in the following cases:

I/O

• when the 41210, as an initiator, detects a parity error during a read transaction

B_PERR#

 

• when the 41210, as a target, detects a parity error during a write transaction

 

 

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

A_SERR#

 

System Error: The 41210 samples SERR# as an input and conditionally forwards it to the PCI

I

Express*.

B_SERR#

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

 

A_REQ#[5:0]

I

PCI Requests: REQ# receives request inputs into the internal arbiter.

B_REQ#[5:0]

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

A_GNT#[5:0]

 

PCI Grants: GNT# is the bus grant output corresponding to request input bits[5:0] from the internal

O

arbiter. GNT# indicates that an initiator can start a transaction on the PCI bus.

B_GNT#[5:0]

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

66 MHz Enable: M66EN is an input signal from the PCI bus that indicates the speed of the PCI bus.

A_M66EN

 

When it is high, the bus speed is 66 MHz. When it is low, the bus speed is 33 MHz. This signal is

I/OD

used to generate an appropriate clock (33 or 66 MHz) on the PCI bus.

B_M66EN

To tie high: Use an approximately 8.2 Kresistor to pull to VCC33.

 

 

 

 

 

To tie low: Pull down to ground.

 

 

 

A_PCIXCAP

I

PCI-X Capable: PCIXCAP indicates whether all devices on the PCI bus are PCI-X devices, so that

B_PCIXCAP

the 41210 can switch into PCI-X mode. Use an approximately 8.2 Kresistor to pull to VCC33.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PCI Lock: LOCK# indicates an exclusive bus operation and may require multiple transactions to

A_LOCK#

 

complete. This signal is an output from the bridge when it is initiating exclusive transactions on PCI.

O

LOCK# is ignored when PCI masters are granted the bus. Locked transaction do not propagate

B_LOCK#

 

upstream.

 

 

 

 

No external pull-up resistors are required on the system board for these signals.
