Tsi350™
PCI-to-PCI Bridge
Features
PCI Interfaces
• Industry-standard 32-bit, 66-MHz PCI bridge • Fully PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3 compliant • Supports up to nine PCI bus masters on the secondary interface • Ten independent secondary clock outputs to the secondary slots • Primary and secondary interfaces can be operated using asynchronous clocks • Secondary clock can either be derived from the input primary clock or supplied by an external clock source • Secondary clocks can be masked through the GPIO interface during power up The Tsi350 makes it possible to extend a
system’s load capability limit beyond that of a single PCI bus by allowing motherboard designers to add more PCI devices or more PCI option card slots than a single PCI bus can support.
