Description
The EC140 64-bit PCI bus target 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. This 64-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 EC140 64-bit PCI bus target is capable of handling both 32-bit PCI transfers and 64-bit
PCI transfers. Based on the bus width chosen by the master, the EC140
bus target transfers data with the higher data width whenever possible.
The PCI 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 64-bit PCI target IP core as required by user application.
| Options |
Description |
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. |
Target retry, disconnect, and abort |
Support for back-end initiated target retry, disconnect and
abort. |
Asynchronous clock domains |
Separate and asynchronous user and PCI clock domains. The core
provides re-synchronization and data FIFO. |
