11.4.1.1
The 82551IT uses the PCI Clock signal directly. Figure 20 shows the clock waveform and required
measurement points for the PCI Clock signal. Table 55 summarizes the PCI Clock specifications.

NOTES:
1. The 82551IT will work with any PCI clock frequency up to 33 MHz.
2. Rise and fall times are specified in terms of the edge rate measured in V/ns. This slew rate is met across the
minimum peak-to-peak portion of the clock waveform as shown in Figure 20.
