PCi-M32: 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI Master/Target Interface Core
Block Diagram

Overview
The main PCI-M32 Interface core purpose is to isolate the user from having to solve complex problems of the PCI interface implementation and let the user instead focus on the application development. The PCI-M32 Interface supports 32-bit address/data bus and operates up to 33 MHz (66 MHz optional) PCI clock frequency. It is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3. The PCI-M32 Interface has both Master and Target capabilities. The interface implements 64 bytes of PCI Configuration Space registers. It is possible to extend the Configuration Space up to 256 bytes if required. The Target part supports up to six Base Address Registers with both I/O and Memory space decoding from 16 bytes up to 2 GB. Both Target and Master supported commands are: - Configuration Read, Configuration Write - Memory Read, Memory Write, Memory Read Multiple (MRM), Memory Read Line (MRL) - I/O Read, I/O Write
Features
- PCI specification 2.3 compliant Master/Target, 33 MHz operation (66 MHz optional), 32-bit datapath
- Zero wait states burst mode
- Support of backend initiated target retry, disconnect and abort
- Parity generation and parity error detection
- DMA Controller Core supporting independent write and read operations available
