2. PCI
Interface
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is a bus protocol that defines how devices communicate on a
peripheral bus and with a host processor. If a device is referred to as PCI compliant it must be
compliant with the
PCI Local Bus Specification (Revision 2.2)
. A PCI bus supports frequencies up to
66 MHz, and 32-bit or 64-bit transfers.
This chapter describes the PCI Interface of the Dual PCI PowerSpan II. The following topics are

2.1
Overview
This chapter describes the functionality of the Dual PCI PowerSpan II. The Single PCI PowerSpan II is
identified when its functionality or settings differ from the Dual PCI PowerSpan II.
The Single PCI PowerSpan II and the Dual PCI PowerSpan II have different characteristics. The
features of each device are shown in the following list.
•
Dual PCI PowerSpan II:
— One 32-bit or 64-bit PCI interface
— One 32-bit interface
— 66 MHz operation
•
Single PCI PowerSpan II:
— One 32-bit or 64-bit PCI interface
— 66 MHz operation
2.1.1
Primary PCI
The Dual PCI PowerSpan II has two PCI interfaces: the PCI-1 Interface and the PCI-2 Interface. PCI-1
interface is 32-bit or 64-bit capable, while the PCI-2 Interface is 32-bit. Both PCI interfaces have
66 MHz capability.
