Usage of the Intel740™ graphics accelerator on an ATX and NLX graphics card is discussed. The basis of this document is a reference ATX card. Introduction The reference design card described in this document contains the following features.
  • Page 16: Design Features

    • TV Out Interface. Intel has worked with Rockwell* (Brooktree*) to design an interface capable of supporting a high quality TV out chip. This interface allows the Intel740™ graphics accelerator to output on a monitor, TV, or both.

    Addin Card Design 2.1.2 BT829B - Video Decoder The Bt829B is a video capture processor used to convert analog video data into CCIR 601 digital video data. This chip contains the following capabilities. • Analog Inputs. The Bt829B contains four composite video inputs along with one chroma and one luma input for s-video.
  • Page 18: Fences

    Addin Card Design 2.1.3.2 Fences A “fence” is a line routed out of the plane such that a given area is isolated from the rest of the plane except at a single point of contact, conceptually the “gate” in the fence. A fence will minimize noise originating from digital signaling onto the analog signals.
  • Page 19: Layout And Routing Guidelines

    Addin Card Design Layout and Routing Guidelines This chapter describes layout and routing recommendations to insure a robust design. These guidelines should be followed as closely as possible. Any deviations from the guidelines listed here should be simulated to insure adequate margin is still maintained in the design. 2.2.1 Placement The ball connections on the Intel740™...

    Addin Card Design 2.2.3 BGA Component 2.2.3.1 Layout Requirements The following layout requirements should be followed when routing the 468 MBGA package. • All non-ground BGA lands should be Metal Defined (MD) lands with the following nominal dimensions (see Figure 2-6).
  • Page 23: Ground Connections

    Addin Card Design 2.2.3.2 Ground Connections All lands in the four corners and center are V (GND). Thermal analysis requires that each V ball connect to an adjacent via which passes through to the solder side of the board, one via per ball, with a trace as wide as the via.

    Addin Card Design 2.2.3.5 General Signal Routing Figure 2-11 depicts general escape of traces from the five rows of BGA ball pads. The first three ball rows can be routed on the primary layer. The last two must be routed through vias to the secondary layer.
  • Page 26: Ground Planes

    Addin Card Design 2.2.5.1 Ground Planes The Bt829B and associated circuitry have two ground planes, GND and ANALOG_GND (AGND). These are electrically the same plane but should be separated by a fence, as described in Section 2.1.3.2, “Fences” on page 2-4.
  • Page 27: Power Planes

    Addin Card Design 2.2.6.2 Power Planes The Bt869 and associated circuitry have two power planes, VCC3 and 3VAA_BT869. The 3VAA_BT869 plane is a separate cutout, joined to VCC3 by a ferrite bead. The device should reside entirely above the 3VAA_BT869 plane, as there are no VCC3 connections to the device. So long as the 3VAA_BT869 plane underlies all the analog components, it should be as small as possible.
  • Page 28: Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Memory Layout And Routing Guidelines

    Addin Card Design For example, AD29 and AD_STB_B must not be mismatched by more than 0.5”. No such comparison, however, should be enforced between AD29 and AD30, or AD29 and C/BE2#, etc. Note: AGP strobes must be separated by 2X normal signal spacing (i.e., if normal spacing is 5/10 or 6/12, the strobe signals must be separated from other traces by 20 or 24 mils, respectively).

  • Page 60: About This Chapter

    Section 1, "Introduction"—This section provides an overview of the features of a 3-point AGP reference design (DS1P/440BX/I740). Chapter 1 also provides a general component overview of the Pentium II processor, Intel 440BX AGPset, and the Intel 740 graphics accelerator. This section also provides implementation issues associated with a 3-point AGP design and design recommendations which Intel feels will provide flexibility to cover a broader range of products within a market segment.
  • Page 61: Implementation Issues

  • Page 65: Signal Quality And Timing Issues

    3 Device AGP MotherBoard Design 3.1.5.1 Signal Quality and Timing Issues There are two modes of operation for the AGP bus, each with it's own signal quality and timing issues. These two operating modes are 1X mode and 2X mode. Because 1X mode is a common clock mode, flight time of the signal is of the most importance.
  • Page 66: Clock Issues

    3 Device AGP MotherBoard Design 3.1.5.3 Clock Issues Supplying a clock to both AGP master devices raises issues that must be considered when implementing a logical point-to-point bus. Among these issues are clock signal quality, routing, and clock skew. Signal quality and routing are of a major concern since the clock now must be routed to both master components.

    3 Device AGP MotherBoard Design results. The benefit to the former method is that a solution space can be determined before any placement and routing is attempted. This saves time and effort over the method of route, simulate, adjust. It is, therefore, recommended that the simulation results for the 3-load bus drive the layout and routing.

    Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Thermal Design Considerations Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Packaging Terminology Ball Grid Array. A package type defined by a resin-fiber substrate on which a die is mounted, bonded and encapsulated in molding compound. The primary electrical interface is an array of solder balls attached to the substrate opposite the die and molding compound.
  • Page 151: Thermal Specifications

    Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Thermal Design Considerations Thermal Specifications The Intel740™ graphics accelerator power dissipation can be found in the Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Datasheet and Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Specification Updates. Please refer to these documents to verify the actual thermal specifications for the Intel740 graphics accelerator. In general, systems should be designed to dissipate the highest possible thermal power.
  • Page 152: Power

    Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Thermal Design Considerations Power In previous generations of graphics accelerators where Quad Flat Pack (QFP) packages have been the primary package type, the majority of power dissipation has been through the plastic case of the package into the surrounding air. With the advent of Ball Grid Array (BGA) packaging for graphics accelerators, the majority of the thermal power dissipated by the chipset typically flows into the motherboard where it is mounted.
  • Page 153: Designing For Thermal Performance

    Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator Thermal Design Considerations Designing for Thermal Performance In designing for thermal performance, the goal is to keep the component within the operational thermal specifications. The heat generated by the components within the chassis must be removed to provide an adequate operating environment for all of the system components. To do so requires moving air through the chassis to transport the heat generated out of the chassis.
