STE10/100
2.3 PCI I/F
■
■
■
■
Provides 32-bit PCI bus master data transfer
Supports PCI clock with frequency from 0Hz to 33MHz
Supports network operation with PCI system clock from 20MHz to 33MHz
Provides performance meter and PCI bus master latency timer for tuning the threshold to enhance the
performance
■
■
■
Provides burst transmit packet interrupt and transmit/receive early interrupt to reduce host CPU
utilization
As bus master, supports memory-read, memory-read-line, memory-read-multiple, memory-write,
memory-write-and-invalidate command
Supports big or little endian byte ordering
2.4 EEPROM/Boot ROM I/F
■
■
■
■
■
Provides writeable Flash ROM and EPROM as boot ROM, up to 128kB
Provides PCI to access boot ROM by byte, word, or double word
Re-writes Flash boot ROM through I/O port by programming register
Provides serial interface for read/write 93C46 EEPROM
Automatically loads device ID, vendor ID, subsystem ID, subsystem vendor ID, Maximum-Latency , and
Minimum-Grand from the 64 byte contents of 93C46 after PCI reset de-asserted
