Host Interface Signals (Continued)
Signal Name Type Description
HLOCK# I
AGTL+
Host Lock:
All CPU bus cycles sampled with the assertion of HLOCK# and
HADS#, until the negation of HLOCK# must be atomic, i.e. PCI
Express graphics access to System Memory is allowed when
HLOCK# is asserted by the CPU.
HREQ[4:0]# I/O
AGTL+
2X
Host Request Command:
Defines the attributes of the request. HREQ[4:0]# are transferred at
2x rate.
Asserted by the requesting agent during both halves of the Request
Phase. In the first half the signals define the transaction type to a level
of detail that is sufficient to begin a snoop request. In the second half
the signals carry additional information to define the complete
transaction type.
HTRDY# O
AGTL+
Host Target Ready:
Indicates that the target of the processor transaction is able to enter
the data transfer phase.
HRS[2:0]# O
AGTL+
Host Response Status:
Indicates the type of response according to the following the table:
HRS[2:0]# Response type
000 Idle state
001 Retry response
010 Deferred response
011 Reserved (not driven by GMCH)
100 Hard Failure (not driven by GMCH)
101 No data response
110 Implicit Write back
111 Normal data response
HDPWR# O
AGTL+
Host Data Power:
Used by GMCH to indicate that a data return cycle is pending within
2 HCLK cycles or more. CPU use’s this signal during a read-cycle to
activate the data input buffers in preparation for HDRDY# and the
related data.
HCPUSLP# O
CMOS
Host CPU Sleep:
When asserted in the Stop-Grant state, causes the processor to enter
the Sleep state. During Sleep state, the processor stops providing
internal clock signals to all units, leaving only the Phase-Locked
Loop (PLL) still operating. Processors in this state will not recognize
snoops or interrupts.
Host Interface Reference and Compensation
Signal Name Type Description
HVREF I
A
Host Reference Voltage:
Reference voltage input for the Data, Address, and Common clock
signals of the Host AGTL+ interface.
HXRCOMP I/O
A
Host X RCOMP:
Used to calibrate the Host AGTL+ I/O buffers.
This signal is powered by the Host Interface termination rail (VCCP).
HXSCOMP I/O
A
Host X SCOMP:
Slew Rate Compensation for the Host Interface
HXSWING I
A
Host X Voltage Swing:
These signals provide reference voltages used by the HXRCOMP
circuits.
HYRCOMP
I/O
A
Host Y RCOMP
:
Used to calibrate the Host AGTL+ I/O buffers.
HYSCOMP I/O
A
Host Y SCOMP:
Slew Rate Compensation for the Host Interface
HYSWING I
A
Host Y Voltage Swing:
These signals provide reference voltages used by the HYRCOMP
circuitry.
DMI
Signal Name Type Description
DMI_RXP[1:0]
DMI_RXN[1:0]
I
PCIE
DMI input from ICH6-M:
Direct Media Interface receive differential pair
DMI_TXP[1:0]
DMI_TXN[1:0]
O
PCIE
DMI output to ICH6-M:
Direct Media Interface transmit differential pair
DMI x2 is supported for Intel 915GMS chipset
