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. Table .

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. AGP X Graphics Card VTCX North Bridge Total trace length L Data, Strobe and Control AGP Slot Universal Guidelines . Data and Control widthSpacing Routings are in the range of quot lt L lt quot. . Strobe Routings are to Strobe and to other signals. . The recommended motherboard impedance for AGP X is ohm / ohm. Figure . General Layout Recommendations of AGP X Interface Preliminary Revision ., November , Motherboard Design Guidelines Technologies, Inc. We Connect Design Guide VTCX Apollo Pro with VTCA ... 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 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.

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.
