Reset Strap Options
Several strap options on the memory address bus define the
behavior of the Pentium II processor with on-die cache
mobile module MMC-2 after reset. Other straps are allowed
to override the default settings. Table 14 shows the various
straps and their implementation.

PCI Interface
The PCI interface of the 82433BX Host Bridge is available at
the connector. The 82433BX Host Bridge supports the PCI
Clockrun protocol for PCI bus power management. In this
protocol, PCI devices assert the CLKRUN# open-drain
signal when they require the use of the PCI interface. Refer
to the
PCI Mobile Design Guide
for complete details on the
PCI Clockrun protocol.
The 82433BX Host Bridge is responsible for arbitrating the
PCI bus. With the MMC-2 connector, the 82433BX Host
Bridge can support up to five PCI bus masters. There are
five PCI Request/Grant pairs, REQ[4:0]# and GNT[4:0]#,
available on the connector to the manufacturer’s system
electronics.
The PCI interface on the MMC-2 connector is 3.3 volts only.
Five-volt PCI devices are not supported such as all devices
that drive outputs to a 5
Vt
nominal V
oh
level.
The 82433BX Host Bridge system controller is compliant
with the
PCI 2.1 specification
, which improves the worst
case PCI bus access latency from earlier PCI specifications.
The 82433BX Host Bridge supports only Mechanism #1 for
accessing PCI configuration space, as detailed in the PCI
specification. This implies that signals AD[31:11] are
available for PCI IDSEL signals. However, since the
82433BX Host Bridge is always device #0, AD11 will never
be asserted during PCI configuration cycles as an IDSEL.
The 82433BX reserves AD12 for the AGPbus. Thus, AD13 is
the first available address line usable as an IDSEL. Intel
recommends that AD18 be used by the PIIX4E/M.
4.3.4
AGP Interface
The 82433BX Host Bridge system controller is compliant
with the
AGP Interface Specification Rev 1.0
, which supports
an asynchronous AGP interface coupling to the 82433BX
core frequency. The AGP interface can achieve real data
throughput in excess of 500 megabytes per second using an
AGP 2X graphics device. Actual bandwidth may vary
depending on specific hardware and software
implementations.

Clock Control Architecture
The clock control architecture is optimal for notebook
designs. The clock control architecture consists of seven
different clock states: Normal, Stop Grant, Auto Halt, Quick
Start, HALT/Grant Snoop, Sleep, and Deep Sleep states.
The Auto Halt state provides a low-power clock state that
can be controlled through the software execution of the HLT
instruction. The Quick Start state provides a very low-power,
low-exit latency clock state that can be used for hardware
controlled “idle” states. The Deep Sleep State provides an
extremely low-power state that can be used for Power-on-
Suspend states, which is an alternative to shutting off the
processor’s power. The exit latency of the Deep Sleep State
has been reduced to 30 microseconds. The Stop Grant state
and the Sleep states are not available on the Pentium II
processor with on-die cache mobile module as these states
are intended for desktop or server systems. The Stop Grant
state and the Quick Start clock state are mutually exclusive.
