PC Card Controller 144-Pin LQFP Tray

The TI PCI1410A device is a high-performance PCI-to-PC Card controller that supports a single PC Card socket compliant with the PC Card Standard. The PCI1410A device provides features that make it the best choice for bridging between PCI and PC Cards in both notebook and desktop computers. The PC Card Standard retains the 16-bit PC Card specification defined in PCI Local Bus Specification and defines the new 32-bit PC Card, CardBus, as being capable of full 32-bit data transfers at 33 MHz. The PCI1410A device supports both 16-bit and CardBus PC Cards, powered at 5 V or 3.3 V, as required. The PCI1410A device is compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, and its PCI interface can act as either a PCI master device or a PCI slave device. The PCI bus mastering is initiated during 16-bit PC Card DMA transfers or CardBus PC Card bridging transactions. The PCI1410A device also is compliant with the latest PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification and PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification for PCI to CardBus Bridges. All card signals are buffered internally to allow hot insertion and removal without external buffering. The PCI1410A device is register-compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF and 82365SL ExCA controllers. The PCI1410A internal data-path logic allows the host to access 8-, 16-, and 32-bit cards using full 32-bit PCI cycles for maximum performance. Independent buffering and a pipeline architecture provide an unsurpassed performance level with sustained bursting. The PCI1410A device also can be programmed to accept fast-posted writes to improve system-bus utilization. Multiple system-interrupt signaling options are provided, including: parallel PCI, parallel ISA, serialized ISA, and serialized PCI. Furthermore, general-purpose inputs and outputs are provided for the board designer to implement sideband functions. Many other features designed into the PCI1410A device, such as socket-activity light-emitting diode (LED) outputs, are discussed in detail throughout the design specification. An advanced complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process achieves low system power consumption, while operating at PCI clock rates up to 33 MHz. Several low-power modes enable the host power management system to further reduce power consumption.
