The following describes the byte/word lane behavior for Total-AceXtreme® Memory 
accesses: 
6.5.1  PCI Memory Interface 
•  Writes to memory (BAR0) require either 2 high, 2 low, or all 4 byte lanes 
(C/BE[3:0]) active or the writes will not take place (terminated on PCI bus and 
discarded internally).  This allows for either 16-bit or 32-bit writes to memory. 8-bit 
memory writes are not supported. 
•  Reads from memory (BAR0) will ignore byte lanes because reads are non-
destructive and cause no state change to the circuit.  This allows for any 
combination of byte lane assertion to read a full 32-bit memory location. 
6.5.2  PCI Register Interface 
•  Writes to registers (BAR1) require all 4 byte lanes to be active or the write will not 
take place (terminated on PCI bus but discarded). 
•  Reads from registers (BAR1) require either 2 high, 2 low, or all 4 byte lanes active 
and full 32-bit read will be returned over the PCI bus. 
•  Reads from registers (BAR1) without either 2 high, 2 low, or all 4 byte lanes active 
will result in no read performed and 0's returned on the PCI bus. 
•  The PCI interface acts as a standard 32-bit PCI device.  It can operate at 33 or 
66MHz clock rates and will act as a bus master for DMA operations.
