8399 N/B Maintenance

￿ Inter-operable with VIA Host-to-V-Link Host Controller

￿ Combine with VT8754 (Apollo P4X333) for a complete 533 / 400 MHz FSB Pentium 4 system

￿ Combine with VT8377 (Apollo KX400) for a complete 266 / 200 MHz FSB Athlon Socket-A system

￿ May be used interchangeably with the VT8235CDLSout h Bridge in most board designs

￿ High Bandwidth 533 MB/s 8-bit V-Link Client Controller

￿ Request / Data split transaction

Document

￿ Supports 66 MHz V-Link Client interface with peak bandwidth of 533 MB/sec

￿ V-Link operates in 2x, 4x, and 8x modes

 

￿ Full duplex commands with separate StrobeSecret/ Command

MiTac

 

￿ Configurable outstandingConfidentialtransaction queue for V-Link Client accesses

￿ Auto Client Retry to eliminate V-Link Host-Client Retry cycles

￿ Intelligent V-Link transaction protocol to eliminate data wait-state / throttle transfer latency; all V-Link transactions for b th Host and Client have consistent view of transaction data depth and buffer size to avoid data overflow.

￿ Highly efficient V-Link arbitration with minimum overhead; all V-Link transactions have predictable cycle length with known Command / Data duration

￿ Auto connect / reconnect capability and dynamic stop for minimum power consumption

￿ Parity checking to insure correct data transfers
