Intel® 41110 Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge Design Guide 31
PCI-X Layout Guidelines
• Bus parking on last PCI agent or the bridge.
By default, the arbiter parks the bus on the bridge and drives the A/D, C/BE# and PAR lines to a
known value while the bus is idle.
8.2.1 PCI Resistor Compensation
Figure 15 provides the recommended resistor compensation pin termination for the PCI A bus.
8.3 PCI General Layout Guidelines
For acceptable signal integrity with bus speeds up to 133 MHz it is important to PCB design layout
to have controlled impedance.
• Signal traces should have an unloaded impedance of 60 +/- 10% Ω.
• Signal trace velocity should be roughly 150 – 190 ps/inch
There are a couple of general guidelines which should be used when routing your PCI bus signals:
• Avoid routing signals > 8”.
• The following signals have no length restrictions: A_INTA#, A_INTB#, A_INTC#,
A_INTD#, and TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS and TRST#. Most PCI-X signals are timing critical.
These signals have length restrictions for propagation, setup, and hold requirements. Table 6
shows the PCI-X signals.
