AGP 8X Transfers


The AGP 8X transfer rate (supported on d325 models only) allows 32 bytes of data to be
transferred in one clock cycle. As with the other transfer rates 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 4-8, 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 8X
transfers can be 0.8 or 1.5 VDC.
