The Parallel ATA IDE interfaces support the following modes: • Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer. • 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec. • Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of up to 33 MB/sec. • ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible. • ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The IXP 450's ATA-100 logic can achieve read transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec and write transfer rates up to 88 MB/sec. • ATA-133: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The IXP 450's ATA-133 logic is designed to achieve read transfer rates up to 133 MB/sec and write transfer rates in excess of 100 MB/sec. NOTE ATA-66, ATA-100, and ATA-133 are faster timings and require a specialized cable to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling.

1.5.4
IDE Support
The board provides six IDE interface connectors:
Two parallel ATA IDE connector that supports two devices
Four serial ATA IDE connectors that support one device per connector
1.5.4.1
Parallel ATE IDE Interface
The IXP 450’s Parallel ATA IDE controller has two bus-mastering Parallel ATA IDE interfaces.
The Parallel ATA IDE interfaces support the following modes:
Programmed I/O (PIO):
processor controls data transfer.
8237-style DMA:
DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec.
Ultra DMA:
DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates
of up to 33 MB/sec.
ATA-66:
DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of
up to 66 MB/sec.
ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible.
ATA-100:
DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling.
The IXP 450’s
ATA-100 logic can achieve read transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec and write transfer rates up to
88 MB/sec.
ATA-133:
DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling.
The IXP 450’s
ATA-133 logic is designed to achieve read transfer rates up to 133 MB/sec and write transfer
rates in excess of 100 MB/sec.
±
NOTE
ATA-66, ATA-100, and ATA-133 are faster timings and require a specialized cable to reduce
reflections, noise, and inductive coupling.
The Parallel ATA IDE interfaces also support ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives) and ATA
devices using the transfer modes.
