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 ...

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 ...

For more than a decade the PCI bus has been the backbone of personal computers. Other systems, such as telephony and networking, adopted the technology for its cost and performance advantages. But now ...

Moore’s Law might be slowing down CPU compute capacity increases in recent years, but the innovation has been coming at a steady drumbeat for the interconnects used inside servers and between nodes in ...

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 ...

Nearly two years after its formal introduction, PCI Express 4.0 is finally here. The specification promises higher speeds than the previous generation for internal storage, graphics cards, and more.

Although the ability to expand a home computer with more RAM, storage and other features has been around for as long as home computers exist, it wasn’t until the IBM PC that the concept of a fully ...

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 ...

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 ...

We've jumped many chasms over the past three decades of server-based computing. In the 1990s, we went from single-socket standalone servers to clusters. Then with the millennium, we first saw ...

I plan to use a SCSI 19160 card, 10/100 LAN, TV Card, and PCI Video card (secondary display), and a Santa Cruz in one machine. It will be using the Sis645 chipset... Will I be overloading the PCI bus ...
