Design Guide
During 3.3V AGP 2.0 operation, V
REF
must be 0.4VDDQ. However, during 1.5V AGP 2.0
operation, Vref must be 0.5VDDQ. This requires a flexible voltage divider for V
REF
. Various
methods of accomplishing this exist, and one such example is shown in
Figure 2-32
.
The flexible V
REF
divider shown in
Figure 2-32
uses a FET switch to switch between the locally
generated V
REF
(for 3.3V add-in cards) and the source generated V
REF
(for 1.5V add-in cards).
Usage of the source generated V
REF
at the receiver is optional and is a product implementation
issue which is beyond the scope of this document.
