3 Device AGP Motherboard Layout and Routing
Guidelines
This section describes layout and routing recommendations to insure a robust design. Follow these
guidelines as closely as possible. Any deviations from the guidelines listed should be simulated to
insure adequate margin is still maintained in the design. Since the concentration of this section is
mainly 3 Device AGP implementation, refer to the Intel 440BX AGPset Design Guide for the
remaining design guidelines. It would be beneficial to have that design guide before tying to read
this section. Sections that are referred to the Intel 440BX AGPset Design Guide are:
•
Routing Guidelines
— GTL+ Description
— GTL+ Layout Recommendations
— Single Processor Design
— Additional Guidelines
— Design Methodology
— Performance Requirements
— Topology Definition
— Pre-Layout Simulation (Sensitivity Analysis)
— Placement & Layout
•
