Features
General Description _______________
• PCI Bus Master Interface supporting adapters and
The PCI9060 provides a compact high performance PCI
bus master interface for adapter boards and embedded
systems. The chip’s local bus follows the protocol of the
Intel i960 microprocessor family.
embedded systems
• Two independent DMA channels for local bus
memory to/from PCI host bus data transfers
• Four bi-directional FIFOs for zero wait-state burst
operation; one for each DMA channel, one for Direct
Master interface and one for slave interface
The PCI9060 provides two independent bi-directional
DMA channels with bi-directional FIFOs supporting zero
wait-state burst transfers between host and local
memory. Each channel also supports full data chaining
modes which allows concurrent operations. The chip
also contains a bi-directional FIFO for efficient slave
access. In addition, another bi-directional FIFO ensures
high speed Direct Bus Master transfers.
• PCI Bus Master transfers up to 132 MBytes/sec
• Supports both multiplexed and non-multiplexed local
buses, 32, 16 or 8 bit. May connect directly to Intel
i960 Cx, Hx, Jx, Kx and Sx processors
• Local bus can run asynchronously to the PCI clock.
• Eight 32 bit mailbox and two 32 bit doorbell registers
• Low power CMOS in 208 Pin Plastic QFP Package
The PCI9060 also allows the local processor and other
intelligent controllers to perform direct bus master
transfers on the PCI bus. As an option, the PCI9060 can
enable the local processor to configure other PCI devices
in the system.
