This Design Idea describes a VHDL implementation of a PCI 2.2-bus arbiter (Figure 1). Any PCI system may have one or more PCI-master devices. Most devices can behave as target hosts, but one must be a ...

The XIO2001 is a single-function PCI Express to PCI translation bridge that is fully compliant to the PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification, Revision 1.0. For downstream traffic, the bridge ...

Whether processor or FPGA based, an embedded computer board’s performance capability, as well as its usability in different applications, is typically determined by the high speed bus interfaces it ...

Do you know where your traffic is? Serial protocol analyzers easily locate bits, bytes, packets, and headers. To win a trade-magazine design challenge, Ted needed to list 15 high-speed buses in order ...

No matter what, system architects are always going to have to contend with one – and possibly more – bottlenecks when they design the machines that store and crunch the data that makes the world go ...

Designed for flexible integration of applications where the PCI or PCMCIA bus and HDLC/SDLC or asynchronous communications are required, the ACB-MP.PCI (PCI bus) and PC-ACB-MP (PCMCIA) single-port, ...

If rumors floating around the 'Net are true, Intel is set to drop support for the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus when it launches its next-generation 6-series of chipsets with support for ...

Compaq, Hewlett Packard and IBM are teaming up to improve the PCI bus, the underlying pipeline that connects the CPU to the graphics card, sound card, and other parts of a PC. The new technology is ...

OPINION: When new PC standards come online there is a danger to assume that the benefit will come from an immediate performance boost. Danger because one of the defining features that sets modern ...

I've got a Shuttle HOT-649A, dual Slot-1 440BX mobo, the BIOS is telling me it's running at 133MHz FSB with 33MHz PCI. I know for a fact that AGP is at 88MHz and that's not a problem.<BR>The problem ...
