PCI and PCI-X Applications
|
Founded in 1985 by one of the original Xilinx Field Application Engineers,
the continuing mission of Bottom Line Technologies Inc (BLT) is to offer our Clients
premium quality design services on aggressive schedules at an competitive price.
The PCI bus came into popularity around 1993 as one of several candidates to replace the aging and performance-limited ISA bus. PCI is available in several varieties, including 32-bit and 64-bit bus widths, 33 MHz. and 66 MHz. clock speeds, and 5 volt and 3.3 volt signaling environments. PCI add-in cards can be built as initiator/target devices, or target-only implementations. Development of PCI backplanes and systems involves the design of bridges and system controllers. BLT has experience with both PCI cores implemented as a component of an FPGA, and with off the shelf, stand-alone PCI interface chips. Each has certain advantages. BLT staff have also served as members of the PCI development committee.
PCI-X provides a PCI-compatible signaling environment with higher performance, pushing clock speeds up to 133 MHz. and providing burst transfer rates above 1 gigabyte per second. PCI-X adds new performance-oriented functions, such as split completion, attribute phase, and read/write block operations. PCI-X also enhances reliability with improved fault isolation.
Most implementations of both PCI and PCI-X require significant, careful design of an interface between the core or off-the-shelf device and the application-specific logic. Bottom Line Technologies has extensive experience designing architectures that maximize bandwidth while minimizing component cost and time to market.
