PCI-to-AHB Bridge
The internal PCI arbiter is selected when the RTCK pin is set to 1 during powerup.
Because the
RTCK pad has a weak internal pullup, no external components are
required to select the internal PCI arbiter.
Figure 73 shows how NS9750 is connected to the PCI bus for a typical application
using an external PCI bus arbiter, and where the NS9750 does not provide the PCI
central resource functions (see "PCI central resource functions" on page 458).
RTCK is
pulled low by an external resistor to configure NS9750 to use an external arbiter. The
REQ0#/GNT0# pair for the external PCI arbiter is multiplexed out on the GNT1#/
REQ1# pins — GNT1# to REQ0# and REQ1# to GNT0#.
