The Request Phase Parity

The Request Agent drives the two Request Phase parity bits, AP[1:0]#, at the start of the BCLK cycle immediately following the Request Phase:

  • It drives AP0# to either an electrical high or low to force an even number of electrical lows in the overall pattern consisting of A[35:24]# in Packet A, and A[23:3]# and REQ[4:0]# in Packet B.

  • It drives AP1# to either an electrical high or low to force an even number of electrical lows in the overall pattern consisting of A[23:3]# and REQ[4:0]# in Packet A, and A[35:24]# in Packet B.
