V292PBC provides the highest performance,
most flexible, and most economical method to
directly connect Am29030/40 processors to the
PCI bus. V292PBC is also a suitable candidate
for a variety of 32-bit de-multiplexed local bus
applications based on Motorola, IBM, DEC and
Hitachi embedded processors - where a minimal
amount of glue logic is required. V292PBC may
also be used in systems without a CPU for a
generic PCI master/target interface.
V292PBC Rev B2 is the first I2O ready PCI
bridge, fully backward compatible with V292PBC
Rev B1. The PCI bus can be run at the full
33MHz frequency, independent of local bus
clock rate. The overall throughput of the system
is dramatically improved by increasing the FIFO
depth and utilizing the unique DYNAMIC
BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION™ architecture.
Access to the PCI bus can be performed
through two programmable address apertures.
Two more apertures are provided for PCI-to-local
bus accesses. There are 32-bytes of read FIFO’s
in each direction, 16-byte dedicated for each
aperture. V292PBC also includes bi-directional
remapping capabilities, and on-the-fly byte order
conversion .
Two DMA channels are provided for autonomous
PCI-to-Local/Local-to-PCI transfers. Mailbox
registers and flexible PCI interrupt controllers are
also included to provide a simple mechanism to
emulate PCI device control ports.
The part is available in 160-pin low cost EIAJ
Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package.
