Register Description

R

3.5.32LPTT—AGP Low Priority Transaction Timer Register (Device 0)

Address Offset:

BDh

Default Value:

00h

Access:

R/W

Size:

8 bits

LPTT is an 8-bit register similar in function to AMTT. This register is used to control the minimum tenure on the AGP for low-priority data transactions (both reads and writes) issued using PIPE# or SB mechanisms.

The number of clocks programmed in the LPTT represents the guaranteed time slice (measured in 66 MHz clocks) allotted to the current low priority AGP transaction data transfer state. This does not necessarily apply to a single transaction but it can span over multiple low-priority transactions of the same type. After this time expires, the AGP arbiter may grant the bus to another agent if there is a pending request. The LPTT does not apply in the case of high-priority request where ownership is transferred directly to high-priority requesting queue. The default value of LPTT is 00h and disables this function. The LPTT value can be programmed with 8-clock granularity. For example, if the LPTT is programmed to 10h, the selected value corresponds to the time period of 16 AGP (66 MHz) clocks.
