AGP 2X Transfers


During AGP 2X transfers, clocking is basically the same as in 1X transfers except that the 66-
MHz CLK signal is used to qualify only the control signals. The data bytes are latched by an
additional strobe (AD_STBx) signal so that an 8-byte transfer occurs in one CLK cycle (Figure 4-
6). The first four bytes (DnA) are latched by the receiving agent on the falling edge of AD_STBx
and the second four bytes (DnB) are latched on the rising edge of AD_STBx. The signal level for
AGP 2X transfers may be 3.3 or 1.5 VDC.

AGP 4X Transfers


The AGP 4X transfer rate allows sixteen bytes of data to be transferred in one clock cycle. As in
2X transfers the 66-MHz CLK signal is used only for qualifying control signals while strobe
signals are used to latch each 4-byte transfer on the AD lines. As shown in Figure 4-7, 4-byte
block DnA is latched by the falling edge of AD_STBx while DnB is latched by the falling edge of
AD_STBx-. The signal level for AGP 4X transfers is 1.5 VDC.
