.. AGP X Mode Interface Layout and Routing Guidelines
This section describes layout and routing guidelines to insure a robust AGP X mode interface
design. The following guidelines will help insure that the AGP specification can be met. The
system designer should do appropriate analysis and simulation to verify that the design
fulfills AGP specification requirements.
... General Layout and Routing Recommendations
There are three major groups of AGP control, data and their associated strobe signals listed
in Table . The remaining AGP signals include AGPVREF AGP reference voltage input, GCLK
and GCLKO AGP clock input and output, VDDQ/GND power/ground and NCOMP and
PCOMP digital compensation.

Note The AGP signal naming convention here and in the VTCX datasheet is slightly different
from that in the AGP Specification.
General routing guidelines for the connections between the VTCX chip and the AGP slot are
shown in Figure . These guidelines were created to give freedom to designs by making
tradeoffs between signal coupling and line length. However, AGP signals must be carefully
routed on the motherboard to meet the timing and signal quality requirements of this
interface specification.

... Vref Characteristics for AGP X Mode
Vref is a DC voltage reference signal used to set the input sense level on the AGP bus. Vref
is set at . x VDDQ between . x VDDQ and . x VDDQ for AGP X mode. Referring to Figure for
an AGP X mode implementation, two unidirectional Vref pins are provided in the connector.
These pins connect Vref between the addin card graphics chip and the VTCX chip. Typical
values of the resistors and capacitors in the voltage divider network are shown in the figure.
The Vref resistor divider network must be placed away from critical and noisy signals,
especially .V swing signals. Guard ground trace should be implemented if adjacent to .V
swing signal cannot be avoided. To avoid signal crosstalk from other signal lines, the trace to
the Vref input pin should be kept away from other noisy traces in the board layout.
Decoupling capacitors should not be implemented directly on Vref for better tracking between
VDDQ and Vref.

Figure . AGP X and X Mode Sharing Circuit
... AGP VDDQ Power Delivery
AGP X or X mode can operate in either .V interface or .V interface. However, AGP X mode
uses only .V interface. For sharing of both AGP interfaces, switching between two different
voltage supplies .V and .V for the AGP slot should be taken into account. Refer to Figure
above for the AGP X and X mode sharing circuit. Pin A TYPEDET of the AGP slot is used to
determine the AGP operating voltage VDDQ through the voltage switching circuit. For
example, the AGP interface is .V if the TYPEDET is shorted to ground or activated to low on
the addin card side. However, when TYPEDET is open not connected to any power rail or
signal, the voltage switching circuit outputs .V VDDQ. At the same time, Vref of . x VDDQ for
.V signaling is internally generated in VTCX and external Vref of . x VDDQ for .V signaling on
board is disconnected. In the case of a universal .V / .V signaling system, an onboard voltage
regulator is preferred. The voltage level of the regulator is controlled by the TYPEDET signal
which is controlled by the addin card.

Appendix B Audio Codec and Game/MIDI Port Layout Guidelines
B. Introduction
This document describes the Printed Circuit Board PCB layout recommendations for VIA
VTA AC audio codec and Game/MIDI port in a motherboard design. The main focus is on
how to improve the audio quality. Electromagnetic interference EMI issues are not
considered in the document. The layout guidelines of component placement, power and
ground planes and signal routing for VTA and Game/MIDI port using a stacked LINEOUT,
LINEIN, MICIN and Game/MIDI IO connector on a motherboard are described in detail in the
following sections. VIA VTA bit audio codec conforms to the AC . specification with excellent
analog performance. Refer to VTA datasheet for more detail. Figure B shows a typical single
audio codec function block diagram and the direct connections between the VTCA south
bridge controller and the Game/MIDI port. Audio input/output signals are processed by VTA
audio codec. Through the AC link, VTA audio codec is controlled by VIA VTCA south bridge
controller.

here is Signal ComponentGroundPowerSignal Solder.
B.. Component Placement
AC Audio Codec and Audio Amplifier
AC audio codec VTA and audio amplifier TPA are two major components in the audio codec
circuitry. An example placement for AC audio codec and audio amplifier on either ATX or
microATX form factor is shown in Figure B. To limit the audio analog grounding area
GNDAUD, it is not recommended to place the audio codec far from the LINEOUT, LINEIN
and MICIN audio jacks. And the audio amplifier should be located right beside the LINEOUT
audio jack because the audio line out signals are very sensitive to noise from any other
signals.
Figure B. AC Audio Codec and GAME/MIDI Port Placement Example
VDD/VSS Capacitive Decoupling
There are analog power signals two pairs of AVDD/AVSS signals and digital power signals
two pairs of DVDD/DVSS signals on VTA audio codec. Local regulation converting from V
power for analog power supply to VTA is strongly recommended. No local regulation is
required for DVDD power supply to VTA. Directly using onboard V power can already provide
adequate digital power supply to VTA through a ferrite bead. All high frequency AVDD
decoupling capacitors less than uF, ceramic should be placed very close to the AVDD/AVSS
pins of VTA and the connection from codec pin to capacitor pad should be routed on the
same layer with a short and wide trace or a small power plane. That is, there should be no
vias connecting the decoupling capacitor to the device pin. All high frequency DVDD
decoulping capacitors should have short wide traces connecting to DVDD/DVSS to decrease
ground bounce and other noise coupling caused from digital switching. These high frequency
DVDD decoupling capacitors should be placed very close to the DVDD/DVSS pins of VTA.
All high frequency AVDD decoupling capacitors should use the same way described above.

low ESR amp ESL bypass capacitance. Ground and Power Planes It is recommended to
include partitioned digital and analog power planes directly over their respective ground
planes. All digital pins of the codec and all digital support components should be over the
digital ground. The recommended location for the ferrite bead or the ohm resistor is on the
quietest area where have no signals passing around. Table B lists the audio signals covered
by different ground planes. GNDLOUT and GNDMIDI and one digital ground plane GND are
shown in Figure B. This doesnt avoid the need for additional ceramic bypass capacitors at
the IC pins as mentioned above. November . The importance and effectiveness of ground
planes cannot be over emphasized to optimize the performance of the codec. We Connect
Design Guide . All analog routing should be over the analog plane. Ground Layer Layout
Example Preliminary Revision .Technologies. Ground planes VIA recommends having
separate analog and digital ground planes on the PCB ground layer nd layer in our case.
When analog signals need to cross the gap in the ground plane when connecting the jacks
for example components such as ferrite beads or ohm shorts should be used. If it is
necessary to route a digital signal over the analog plane the trace length should be short and
the digital signal should be static. The powerground sandwich with a substrate separation
can provide an extremely effective. Three analog ground planes GNDAUD. The line out
circuit should refer to its own analog ground partition GNDLOUT instead of GNDAUD for
better signal consideration. The audio IC leads will have pads and vias that go directly to the
appropriate plane for power and ground. Inc. All analog pins and analog support components
should be over the analog ground plane. Guidelines Appendix B . Figure B. Signal traces
should never cross the gap between the ground planes. The analog ground and digital
ground planes should be connected through only one ferrite bead preferred or a series ohm
resistor.VTCX Apollo Pro with VTCA B.. All digital components are mounted over the digital

Routing Guidelines Routing to VDD. Clock signal such as BITCLK should have a series
resistor close to the codec. the copper fill should be shorted to the analog ground plane. The
copper fill should be shorted to the digital ground plane. This is done to reduce inductance in
the supply. The resistors should be placed close to the signal source. Game/MID Signals
Routing The Game/MIDI resistorcapacitor components should be placed on the analog
Game/MIDI ground GNDMIDI and as close to the Game/MIDI port as possible.
Therefore.VTCX Apollo Pro with VTCA B. Audio Input/Output Routing Keeping traces short
can decrease inductance and help avoiding magnetic coupling. This allows a straightline
route and also allows for shielding with ground traces.Audio Codec and Game/MIDI Port

side of the Game/MIDI port to keep them far from other analog signals. Inc. the AC link
signals should come in from the lower side of the audio codec to keep them far from the
analog signals. We Connect Design Guide . Therefore. If the signal traces need to be long
certain precautions should be made to reduce ringing and signal reflections. This series
resistance in the clock lines will help to reduce reflections.MHz clock should have series
resistor by the clock source. Inductive loops in these networks can be a coupling mechanism
for high frequency noise. Guidelines Appendix B . Regions between analog signal traces
should be filled with copper.. Preferably the capacitors should be placed close to the clock
source but should be electrically connected to the opposite side of the series resistor.
November . regions between digital signal traces should be filled with copper. Referring to
Figure B. A shunt capacitor should also be used on these clock lines to help reduce ringing.
The use of ground trace shields may also help to reduce noise coupling and radiation from
the digital link. Referring to Figure B.Technologies. AFILT and FILT capacitors All high
frequency decoupling. reference and filter networks. High frequency noise can then be
aliased down into the audio band during the A/D or D/A process. reference high frequency
decoupling and filter capacitors must be routed on the same layer as the codec. It is also
recommended to place series resistors on the SDATAIN and SDATAOUT lines. If a . This will
help to reduce high frequency interference by creating a capacitance coupling mechanism
from signal to ground. Other clocks like the . excellent shielding through capacitive coupling
can be achieved. AC Link Routing The AC link signals should be as short as possible.MHz
