Design Considerations
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is
an interconnection system between a micro-
processor and attached devices in which
expansion slots are spaced closely for high-
speed operation. A PCI-to-PCI bridge is a
high-performance connection path between
two PCI buses that allows bridge transactions
to occur concurrently on both buses. Burst-
mode transfers maximize data throughput
while the two bus traffic paths through the
bridge act independently. In future systems,
many PCI bus structures will be replaced by
Technical Information
Capabilities
• TI’s PCI2050B is a 32-bit, 66-MHz bridge
with internal two-tier arbitration for up to
9 secondary bus masters and support for
an external secondary bus. There are
independent read/write buffers for each
direction and 10 secondary PCI clock outputs.
Functionality
• The PCI2250 is a 33-MHz bridge similar to
the PCI2050B but supports 4 secondary bus
masters and 5 secondary PCI clock outputs.
