Networking Silicon — 82540EP

3.0Signal Descriptions

Note: The targeted signal names are subject to change without notice. Verify with your local Intel sales office that you have the latest information before finalizing a design.

3.1Signal Type Definitions

The signals of the 82540EP controller are electrically defined as follows:

Name

Definition

 

 

I

Input. Standard input only digital signal.

 

 

O

Output. Standard output only digital signal.

 

 

TS

Tri-state.Bi-directional three-state digital input/output signal.

 

 

 

Sustained Tri-state.Sustained digital three-state signal driven by one agent at a time.

STS

An agent driving the STS pin low must actively drive it high for at least one clock before letting it

float. The next agent of the signal cannot drive the pin earlier than one clock after it has been

 

 

released by the previous agent.

 

 

 

Open Drain. Wired-OR with other agents.

OD

The signaling agent asserts the OD signal, but the signal is returned to the inactive state by a

weak pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor may require two or three clock periods to fully restore

 

 

the signal to the de-asserted state.

 

 

A

Analog. PHY analog data signal.

 

 

P

Power. Power connection, voltage reference, or other reference connection.

 

 

3.2PCI Bus Interface

When the Reset signal (RST#) is asserted, the 82540EP will not drive any PCI output or bi- directional pins except the Power Management Event signal (PME#).

3.2.1PCI Address, Data and Control Signals

Address and Data.

 

 

The address phase is the clock cycle when the Frame signal (FRAME#) is asserted

AD[31:0]

 

low. During the address phase AD[31:0] contain physical address (32 bits). For I/O,

 

this is byte address, and for configuration and memory, a DWORD address. The

During data phases, AD[7:0] contain the least significant byte (LSB) and AD[31:24]

 

 

contain the most significant byte (MSB).
