RSTN will cause the ST201 to reset all of its functional blocks. RSTN must be asserted for a minimum duration of 10 PCICLK cycles. PCICLK INPUT PCI Bus Clock. This clock is used to drive the PCI bus interfaces and the internal DMA logic. All bus signals are sampled on the rising edges of PCICLK. PCICLK can operate from 0MHz to 33MHz. GNTN INPUT PCI Bu
