V360EPC provides the highest performance,
most fle xible, an d mos t economic al method to
directly connect i960Cx/Hx or AMD2930/40
processors to the PCI bus. As a generic solution
for 32-bit de-multiplexed local bus applications,
V360EP C is also a suita ble ca ndid ate f or a
variety of high -perfor mance applications based
on Motorola, IBM, DEC and Hitachi embedded
processors - where a minimal amount of glue
logicis needed.
V360EPC is the second generation of V3’s I
2
O
ready PCI bridges - fully backw ar d com patible
with V962P BC and V292PBC Rev B2 devices and is su pporti ng pow erful fea tures l ike Ho t
Swap and DMA ch aining. Th e PC I bu s can be
run at full 33MHz, independent of local bus clock
rate. The overall throughput of the system is
dram at ically i m pr oved b y inc r e asing the FIF O
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-bytes of read FIFOs in
each direction, 3 2-b ytes d edi cate d 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.
