Glossary
ADB
Allowable disconnect boundary. An ADB is a naturally aligned 128-byte boundary. PCI-X bus
masters and targets are permitted to disconnect burst transactions only on ADBs.
Address decode window
The address range defined by a device’s base address registers when operating in non-transparent
addressing mode. If a transaction address on the bus falls within a device’s address decode window,
the device claims the transaction.
ADQ
ADB deliminated quanta. An ADQ is a portion, or all of, a 128-byte buffer that fits between two
allowable disconnect boundaries (ADBs). The ADQ forces address alignment of the data packets
within a device’s internal buffers. For example, a 128-byte data transfer that crosses an ADB (that is,
not aligned) uses two ADQs for the transfer.
Attribute
It is the 36-bit field contained on CBE[3:0]_ and AD[31:0] during the attribute phase of a PCI-X
transaction. The initiator of a transaction is responsible for driving the attribute.
Attribute phase
This phase occurs after the address phase(s), and defines additional information about the current
PCI-X transaction. The lower bus halves (C/BE[3:0]_ and AD[31:0]) contain the attributes. The upper
bus halves (C/BE[7:4]_ and AD[63:32]) are reserved and driven high by 64-bit initiators.
Base and limit register
A configuration register that stores memory or I/O address decode information in a device. If the
address of a transaction falls within the window defined by a device’s base and limit registers, the
device claims the transaction. Base and Limit registers are used only by transparent bridges.
CompactPCI
cPCI. It is an adaptation of the
PCI Local Bus Specification (Revision 2.2)
for Industrial and/or
embedded applications that require a more robust mechanical form factor than desktop PCI.
Completer (PCI-X)
The device that is addressed by a PCI-X transaction (other than a split transaction).
Completer (PCIe)
The device that is targeted by a requester during a PCIe transaction. A requester reads data from a
completer, or writes data to a completer. A requester can be either a root complex or an endpoint
device.
Completer ID
This value uniquely identifies the completer of a transaction request. It consists of a completer’s bus
number, device number, and function number.
Configuration transaction
A read or write access of a PCI device’s configuration registers.
Downstream port
A PCIe port that points in the direction away from the root complex (for example, a root complex port).
Egress port
A PCIe port that transmits a packet to another PCIe device.
Endpoint
A type of PCIe device, or mode of operation, that function as requesters or completers of PCIe
transactions (examples include Ethernet, USB, and graphic devices). If a PCIe port is not configured
as a root complex or a switch then it is considered an endpoint. An endpoint can support up to eight
functions.
Fairness algorithm
Arbitration logic that helps low and high priority devices gain fair access to a peripheral bus. This logic
also helps prevent deadlocks among bus-mastering devices in a system.
