Description:

82433NX (LBX) Overview

Two 82433NX Local Bus Accelerator (LBX) components provide a 64-bit data path between the host CPU/Cache and main memory, a 32-bit data path between the host CPU bus and PCI Local Bus, and a 32-bit data path between the PCI Local Bus and main memory. The dual-port architecture allows concurrent operations on the host and PCI Buses. The LBXs incorporate three write posting buffers and two read prefetch buffers to increase CPU and PCI performance. The LBX supports byte parity for the host and main memory buses. The 82433NX is intended to be used with the 82434NX PCI/Cache/Memory Controller (PCMC). During bus operations between the host, main memory and PCI, the PCMC commands the LBXs to perform functions such as latching address and data, merging data, and enabling output buffers. Together, these three components form a "Host Bridge" that provides a full function dual-port data path interface, linking the host CPU and PCI bus to main memory.
