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 ...

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 ...

No matter what, system architects are always going to have to contend with one – and possibly more – bottlenecks when they design the machines that store and crunch the data that makes the world go ...

The early days of home computing were quite a jungle of different standards and convoluted solutions to make one piece of hardware work on as many different platforms as possible. IBM’s PC was an ...

PCI Express (PCIe) has been around since 2003, and in that time it has managed to become the primary data interconnect for not only expansion cards, but also high-speed external devices. What also ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The latest version of PCI Express brings massive bandwidth increases to PCs, enabling truly blistering SSD read and write speeds up to 14,000MBps. Here's what you need to know to get your PC storage ...
