PCI Bridge is used for controlling data transformation in between peripheral
component bus to local bus.
Features:
- PCI-X Bus Specification Revision 1.0a
- Functions as one or more of:
- Agent acting as target only
- Agent acting as target and master
- Arbiter
- Generates all types of PCI/PCI-X transactions (master) and responses (target)
- Supports memory modeling of all agent memory spaces (configuration/IO/ Memory)
- Supports 32-bit and 64-bit transactions
- Supports Power Management option
- Supports Message Signaled Interrupt handling option
- 33.33 MHz clock with synchronous transfers
- Peak transfer rate of 133 MB/s (133 million bytes per second) for 32-bit bus
width (33.33 MHz × 32 bits ÷ 8 bits/byte = 133 MB/s)
- 32-bit address space (4 gigabytes)
- 32-bit I/O port space
- 256-byte configuration space
- 5-volt sig5-volt signaling
Applications :
- Storage (RAID cards, ROMB, MROMB, FAS, SAN, NAS)
- Telemetric
- Security
- Graphics, Printing/ Imaging
- Control Plane Processing
- General embedded equipment
- Telecommunication equipment
- Adapter cards and motor boards
