Single PCI-X Load
Figure 18 shows GD31244 as the PCI-X agent in a standalone embedded application (with no
PCI-X slot). This figure shows one of the chipset PCI AD lines connected through W1 to the Intel
®
31244 PCI-X to Serial ATA Controller. This AD line is also used as an IDSEL line from line
segment W2 to a 2 K resistor through W3 to the GD31244 IDSEL line input buffer. Table 23 shows
the corresponding wiring rules. These recommended wire lengths should support all PCI-X
frequencies. However, prelayout simulation is recommended.
