description

The Texas Instruments PCI1211 is a high-performance PCI-to-PC Card controller that supports a single PC

Card socket compliant with the 1995 PC Card Standard. The PCI1211 provides a rich feature set that makes

it the best choice for bridging between PCI and PC Cards in both notebook and desktop computers. The 1997

PC Card Standard retains the 16-bit PC Card specification defined in PCMCIA Release 2.2, and defines the

new 32-bit PC Card, CardBus, capable of full 32-bit data transfers at 33 MHz. The PCI1211 supports both 16-bit

and CardBus PC Cards, powered at 5 V or 3.3 V, as required.

The PCI1211 is compliant with the

PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2, 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 direct

memory access (DMA) transfers or CardBus PC Card bridging transactions. The PCI1211 is also compliant with

the latest

PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification, Revision 1.0.

All card signals are internally buffered to allow hot insertion and removal without external buffering. The PCI1211

is register compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF ExCA controller. The PCI1211 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

PCI1211 can also 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 are designed into the PCI1211, such as socket activity

light-emitting diode (LED) output, that 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.

Unused PCI1211 inputs must be pulled up using a 43 k

W resistor.
