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 ...

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 ...

A brief timeline of PC graphics bus interfaces. The history of the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The status of the current industry-standard PCI Express (PCIe) bus. Prior to the PC era, ...

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 ...

Why the need for PCI Express? As processor clock speeds increase, parallel buses such as PCI become harder to implement. Signal skew and fan-out restrictions restrict the bandwidth achievable on a ...

In another example of superior architecture, the Power Mac G4 optimises PCI performance by connecting the PCI bus directly to the system controller. In a typical PC architecture, PCI devices connect ...

PCI Express products (PCIe products) use a computer protocol and interface format which communicates more quickly than peripheral component interconnect (PCI), a standard which PCIe is designed to ...

The notion of bridging plays a significant role in PCI architecture primarily due to electrical limitations that impose a severe limit on the number of devices residing on a single PCI bus segment. In ...

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 ...

If the datacenter had been taken over by InfiniBand, as was originally intended back in the late 1990s, then PCI-Express peripheral buses and certainly PCI-Express switching – and maybe even Ethernet ...

I plan to use a SCSI 19160 card, 10/100 LAN, TV Card, and PCI Video card (secondary display), and a Santa Cruz in one machine. It will be using the Sis645 chipset... Will I be overloading the PCI bus ...

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 ...
