Motherboard Description
SY-K7AIA
13
parameters
l
3.3-V memory interface operation with no external buffers
l
Four cache lines (32 quadwords) of processor-to-DRAM posted write
buffers with full read-around capability
l
Concurrent DRAM write back and read-around-write
l
Burst read and write transactions
l
Decoupled and burst DRAM refresh with staggered CS timing
l
Provides the following refresh options:
Programmable refresh rate
CAS-before-RAS
Populated banks only
Chipset powerdown via SDRAM automatic refresh command
Automatic refresh of idle slots – improves bus availability for
memory access by the processor or system
1-9.3 PCI Bus Controller
The PCI bus controller has the following features:
l
Compliance with
PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2
l
Supports six PCI masters
l
32-bit interface, compatible with 3.3-V and 5-V PCI I/O
l
Synchronous PCI bus operation up to 33 MHz
l
PCI-initiator peer concurrence
l
Automatic processor-to-PCI burst cycle detection
l
Four-entry, 64-bit PCI master (processor or AGP) write FIFO
l
Extensive utilization of FIFOs
l
Zero wait-state PCI initiator and target burst transfers
l
PCI-to-DRAM data streaming up to 132 Mbytes per second
l
Enhanced PCI command optimization, such as memory read line
(MRL), memory read multiple (MRM), and memory-write-and-
invalidate (MWI)
l
Timer-enforced fair arbitration between PCI initiators
l
Supports advanced concurrency
l
Supports retry disconnect for improved bus utilization
