Description

The EC125 32-bit PCI bus target IP core is optimized for different applications. The back-end interface is a highly efficient and flexible back-end bus which provides for easy integration with other user logic. The 32-bit PCI target core utilizes double data buffer design approach which minimizes design gate count and achieves highest possible data bandwidth at the same time.

The EC125 32-bit PCI bus target controller is capable of handling memory and IO accesses on the PCI. All seven types of PCI memory/IO accesses are support. Configuration register read and write transactions are supported locally by the bus target without assistance from the user logic. Data parity detection and generation are also handled by the core locally.

When a bus master on the PCI bus initiates a PCI transaction, the core decodes the address and the command and claims the transaction if the address is decoded to be within the address space of one of the target devices at the back-end. The PCI transaction is propagated to the proper target device in simple protocol through the back-end bus.

The user interface allows the user to control the characteristics of the access. For example, the user can insert wait state or transfer data without wait state according to its data bandwidth. Single or burst transfer, retry, disconnect, delay transaction and target abort can all be controlled by user logic.

Optional Features

The following table summarizes the optional features which can be provided with the 32-bit PCI target core as required by user application.

Options Description

Mini-PCI and Power Management

Specific supports for Mini-PCI and Power Management for mobile applications.

Base address registers

Supports multiple base address registers, memory or IO mapped, and expansion ROM base address register.

Address and data multiplexing

Separate or combined back-end address and data buses.

DAC

Dual Address cycle to support 64-bit address space.

Direct FIFO interface

The back-end bus can be made to directly interface a FIFO.

Burst length

Automatically limits the burst size beyond user specific boundaries.

Target burst

Single transfer support to minimize core size.

Asynchronous clock domains

Separate and asynchronous user and PCI clock domains. The core provides re-synchronization and data FIFO.
