PCI-to-PCIe Bridge facilitates technology migration.
Press Release Summary:
Offered in various 7 x 7 mm and 12 x 12 mm packages, XIO2001 single-function translation bridge incorporates Performance Tuning Tool (XPT) that lets internal register settings be customized in real-time using GUI. Internal arbiter supports up to 6 downstream PCI bus masters, eliminating need for external arbitration devices. Along with buffered clocks, bridge incorporates adaptive equalization that optimizes jitter tolerance so designers can use extended PCB trace or cable length.
Original Press Release:
Texas Instruments Introduces the Industry's Smallest, Highest Throughput PCI Express to PCI Translation Bridge
Device eases migration path from conventional PCI to PCI Express technology
DALLAS, July 27 -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today introduced a new PCI Express to PCI translation bridge that requires half the board space and provides the highest throughput, compared to the nearest competitive devices available. The XIO2001 is a single-function bridge that provides customers with an easy migration path from conventional PCI to the latest PCI Express technology. Applications include computer motherboards, industrial PCs and control boards, test and measurement boards, and surveillance camera capture cards. For product details, see: www.ti.com/xio2001-pr.
The XIO2001 offers several advantages that allow designers to maximize performance. The XIO2001 Performance Tuning Tool allows register settings within the bridge to be customized in real time using a graphical user interface (GUI), allowing customers to easily tune the bridge for maximum performance in their application. The XIO2001 also provides twice the throughput when measuring upstream memory access performance through the bridge compared to other devices. This is important to customers with implementations where high bandwidth and low latency are key.
Key features and benefits
-- The XIO2001 is available in a 7 mm x 7 mm package, saving customers valuable board space
-- The XIO2001 Performance Tuning Tool (XPT) GUI makes it easy for customers to customize and tailor bridge performance settings for their own applications
-- An internal arbiter supports up to six downstream PCI bus masters, versus four supported by competitive devices, which eliminates the need for external arbitration devices
-- The XIO2001 integrates buffered clocks, which eliminates the need for an external clock buffer and reduces bill of materials cost
-- Built-in adaptive equalization improves jitter tolerance so designers can use a longer PCB trace or cable length
Availability and pricing
The XIO2001 comes in both 7 mm x 7 mm ZAJ and 12 mm x 12 mm ZGU packages (commercial temperature) priced at $5.50 each, and the 12 mm x 12 mm IZGU package (industrial temperature) is priced at $6.05. Pricing is in quantities of 1,000.
