In clock cycle 3, the IP core inserts a wait state because the memory write 64-bit
transaction layer packet request has a 4-DWORD header. In this case, tx_dv could
have been sent one clock cycle later.

In this example, the application transmits a 64-bit memory write transaction of 8
DWORDS. Address bit 2 is set to 0. The transmit path has a 3-deep, 64-bit buffer to
handle back-to-back transaction layer packets as fast as possible, and it accepts the
tx_desc
and first tx_data without delay. Refer to
.
