S5935 – PCI Product
Data Book
The latency timer register has meaning only when this
controller is used as a bus master and pertains to the
number of PCI bus clocks that this master will be guar-
anteed. The nonzero value for this register is internally
decremented after this device has been granted the
bus and has begun to assert FRAME#. Prior to this
latency timer count reaching zero, this device can
ignore the removal of the bus grant and may continue
the use of the bus for data transfers.
