The Texas Instruments PCI2050BIPDVG4 is a high-performance, 32-bit PCI-to-PCI bridge designed to extend the PCI bus from a single host. This bridge chip is an ideal solution for embedded systems and communications infrastructure that require expansion of the PCI bus to multiple devices.

Key Features

• PCI Bus Standards: Fully compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2, the PCI2050BIPDVG4 ensures seamless integration with existing and future PCI bus architectures.
• Data Transfer Rates: Capable of supporting 66 MHz PCI operations, it facilitates high-speed data transfers between the primary and secondary buses.
• Dual 5V and 3.3V Operation: This device operates at both 5V and 3.3V, providing versatility and making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require different voltage levels.
• Integrated FIFOs: With built-in FIFOs for buffering read and write data, the PCI2050BIPDVG4 minimizes latency and improves system performance.
• Hot-Swap Capability: It supports hot-swapping, allowing devices to be added or removed from the system without the need to power down or reboot.

Applications

The PCI2050BIPDVG4 is used extensively in systems that require additional PCI slots, such as:

• Telecommunications
• Network routers and switches
• Server motherboards
• Embedded computing platforms
• Industrial control systems
