Complies fully with the PCI Local Bus
Specification, Revision 2.1
Complies fully with the Advanced
Configuration Power Interface (ACPI)
Specification
Complies fully with the PCI Power
Management Specification, Revision 1.01
Complies fully with Revision 1.0 of the
PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture
Specification
Implements delayed transactions for all PCI
configuration, I/O, and memory read
commands—up to three transactions
simultaneously in each direction
Allows 88 bytes of buffering (data and
address) for posted memory write
commands in each direction—up to five
posted write transactions simultaneously in
each direction
Allows 72 bytes of read data buffering in
each direction
Provides concurrent primary and secondary
bus operation, to isolate traffic
Provides 10 secondary clock outputs with
the following features:
— Low skew permits direct drive of option
slots
— Individual clock disables, capable of
automatic configuration during reset
Provides arbitration support for nine
secondary bus devices:
— A programmable 2-level arbiter
— Hardware disable control, to permit use
of an external arbiter
