Input Hold Time to SYSCLK
Notes: 1. GNT# and REQ# are point-to-point signals. All other PCI interface signals are bused.
Refer to Chapter 4 of PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.1, for more detailed information.
2. Maximum timings are improved over the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.1. This allows a PAL or
some other circuit to use a REQ/GNT pair to expand the number of REQ/GNT pairs available to the sys-
tem (See application note, “GXLV Processor Series: Request/Grant Pair Expansion”.
