PCI 9050 Target Chip

PCI Specification 2.1Compliant Target Interface Chip supporting low cost slave adapters. Up to five local bus address spaces and four chip selects. Bi-directional FIFO for zero wait-state burst operation. PCI Bus transfers up to 132 Mbytes/second. Supports multiplexed and non-multiplexed 8-, 16-, and 32-bit generic local buses. Local bus runs asynchronously to the PCI clock. Supports Big/Little Endian byte conversion. Low power CMOS in 160-pin PQFP package. Direct Slave PCI Interface Chip speeds the inevitable disappearance of the ISA bus.

Product Description:

The PCI 9050 provides a compact, high performance PCI bus target (slave) interface for adapter boards. It enables rapid, low cost conversion of Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) adapters to the PCI bus. The PCI 9050 accelerates I/O data movements on adapter boards from ISA's nominal bus speed of 8 MHz, 5 Mbytes/second to PCI's 33 MHz, 132 Mbytes/second data transfer capability. For designers looking for a simple and painless way to convert their ISA adapters, PLX offers the PCI 9050 Reference Design Kit.
