The TI PCI1410A device is a high-performance PCI-to-PC Card controller that supports a single PC Card socket compliant with the _PC Card Standard_. The PCI1410A device provides features that make it the best choice for bridging between PCI and PC Cards in both notebook and desktop computers. The _PC Card Standard_ retains the 16-bit PC Card specification defined in _PCI Local Bus Specification_ and defines the new 32-bit PC Card, CardBus, as being capable of full 32-bit data transfers at 33 MHz. The PCI1410A device supports both 16-bit and CardBus PC Cards, powered at 5 V or 3.3 V, as required.
The PCI1410A device is compliant with the _PCI Local Bus Specification_, and its PCI interface can act as either a PCI master device or a PCI slave device. The PCI bus mastering is initiated during 16-bit PC Card DMA transfers or CardBus PC Card bridging transactions. The PCI1410A device also is compliant with the latest _PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification_ and _PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification for PCI to CardBus Bridges_.
All card signals are buffered internally to allow hot insertion and removal without external buffering. The PCI1410A device is register-compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF and 82365SL ExCA controllers. The PCI1410A internal data-path logic allows the host to access 8-, 16-, and 32-bit cards using full 32-bit PCI cycles for maximum performance. Independent buffering and a pipeline architecture provide an unsurpassed performance level with sustained bursting. The PCI1410A device also can be programmed to accept fast-posted writes to improve system-bus utilization.
Multiple system-interrupt signaling options are provided, including: parallel PCI, parallel ISA, serialized ISA, and serialized PCI. Furthermore, general-purpose inputs and outputs are provided for the board designer to implement sideband functions. Many other features designed into the PCI1410A device, such as socket-activity light-emitting diode (LED) outputs, are discussed in detail throughout the design specification.
An advanced complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process achieves low system power consumption, while operating at PCI clock rates up to 33 MHz. Several low-power modes enable the host power management system to further reduce power consumption.
