Intel® 41110 Serial to Paralell PCI Bridge |
|
|
Conceived as a low-cost bridge chip solution for connecting legacy
PCI* and PCI-X* devices to new generation PCI Express* serial
interconnect host systems, the Intel® 41110 Serial to Parallel PCI
transparent bridge chip is ideal for quick time-to-market (TTM) porting
of existing or new PCI and PCI-X add-in card layout designs to PCI
Express cards compatible with PCIe host system slots.
The Intel 41110 is a forward bridge (i.e., root complex/host side is
PCI Express) that can be configured in PCI Express x1, x4 or x8
bi-directional lane width upstream links to host PCI Express slots or
connectors. A single 133 MHz, 64-bit wide parallel PCI-X bus segment
is provided on the 41110 bridge's secondary, card side for attaching
legacy 33/66 MHz PCI or newer 66/100/133 MHz PCI-X chip devices.
The 41110 is optimized for embedded computing card solutions
requiring quick TTM lay-out design/porting, lower BOM costs
and fewer development resource requirements. Examples include
PCI Express 1.0b standard add-in cards: AMCs, blade cards, PCI
Express (PIC MG) backplanes or PMCs and other mezzanine cards.
Such usage models demand reliable, stable and prolonged life PCI
Express bridge chip solutions where extended product lifecycle
management, robust performance, high quality and ROI
investment protection are prime concerns.
With the 41110, developers can "extend" the useful life of legacy
PCI and PCI-X devices ASICs applicability to the industry's newer,
faster and higher bandwidth PCI Express host chipset platforms and
systems.
Featuring support for up to six bus masters, the 41110 Serial to
Parallel PCI bridge chip's PCI-X bus segment can accommodate
multiple devices per PCI v 2.3 and PCI-X v 1.0b mode 1 standards. The
result is a versatile, low-cost bridge chip for both embedded/industrial
and general purpose "open" computing platforms for rapid design,
prototyping and development of new PCI Express cards.
