I agree with everything mentioned. Specific design formula's don't exist
but it's easy to create a design or topology
library by simulating worst case timing with "spec-strength" models.

Both star- and daisy- patterns are possible and it's also possible that
terminations are not necessary (but always
a good idea). Two load PCIX-133 buses require very detailed
design...even with segment lengths as short as 2 inches.

If you are going to ask a topology question like this, a good way to ask
it is from a timing perspective like Chris has asked below. With PCIx
133 I believe you get 2ns to get the signals to settle down on your pcb.
Can you meet that with your topology? Probably, but I would still try
for the best solution and verify it, trying to reserve as many hundreds
of picoseconds as possible for margin....

Do you really worry about a 2 inch PCIX net running at 133MHz ?

You'll have to simulate this one.

When you're not doing point-to-point on 133MHz PCIX, I have never found
a formula.  You may have to play with topologies and line length
constraints and balance them against your physical constraints of the
board, but provided you are in a closed system (no PCI connector cards),
simulation should yield a solution. =3D20

Hello,
I have PCI-X bus(133Mhz) driver with a fan out of 2. What is the best
wiring topology & termination for this case?
