V350EPC is a high-performance and low-cost
generic so lution for interfa cin g b oth 32- bit and
16-bit multiplex ed local bus applic at ions to the
PCI bus. V350EPC directly connects to i960Jx or
i960Sx proces sors without a ny glue logic.
Minimal glue logic is required for highperformance interfacing to other multiplexed
processors like Motorola ColdFire™.
V350EPC is the second generation of V3’s I
2
O
ready PCI bridges - fully backw ar d com patible
with both V961PBC and V960PBC Rev B2
devices - and is supporting powerful features like
Hot Swap and DMA chaining. The PCI bus can
be run at the full 33MHz frequency, independent
of local bus clock rate. The overall throughput of
the system is dramatica lly im proved by
increasing the FIFO depths and utilizing the
unique D
YNAMIC BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION™
architecture.
Access to the PCI bus can be performed through
two programmable address apertures. Two more
aper tur es a re provided for PCI -to- loc al b us
accesses. There are 64- byte s of read FIFOs in
each direction, 32-byte dedicated for each
aperture .
Two high-performance DMA channels with
chaining and demand mode capabilities provide
a powerful data transfer engine for bulk data
transfers. Ma ilbox regis ters and flex ible 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 PQFP packages in 33MHz and 40MHz
versions.
