Bypass_En
Bypass Enable
When set, the AMD-761™ system controller internally bypasses certain memory pipe
stages for optimal performance. This bit may be set only if both of the following are true:
1. System is single processor or it is two processors and only CPU0 is present, and
2. CPU clock multiplier is 4 or greater. See “Config Status” on page 74 to determine the
clock multiplier (FID).
8–7
SysDC_Out_Dly
SysDC Out Delay
This bit field specifies the number of SysClk cycles from a return of read data type SysDC
command and the start of the corresponding data.
0b00 = Reserved
0b01 = 1 clock
0b10 = 2 clocks
0b11 = 3 clocks
This field is initialized by pinstrapping during reset.
6–3
SysDC_In_Dly
SysDC In Delay
This bit field specifies the number of SysClk cycles from a write data type SysDC command
and the start of the corresponding data.
0b0000 = 1 clock
0b0001 = 2 clocks
.............................
0b1111 = 16 clocks
This field is initialized by pinstrapping during reset.
2
WR2_RD
WR2 Read
This field defines the number of SysClk cycles that are inserted between write data and
read data cycles to allow the AMD Athlon™ processor system bus data wires to turn
around. This field is initialized by pinstrapping during reset.
1–0
RD2_WR
RD2 Write
This field defines the number of SysClk cycles that are inserted between read data and
write data cycles to allow the AMD Athlon processor system bus data wires to turn
around. This field is initialized by pinstrapping during reset.
