PCI Features
•
is processor-independent,
•
has a multiplexed address, command, and data bus and supports burst mode operation on reads and writes,
•
runs synchronous with the CPU at speeds up to 33 MHz,
•
has a maximum data transfer rate of 120 MBs (with a peak rate of 132 MBs on a 32-bit data path),
•
has a maximum data transfer rate of 240 MBs (with a peak rate of 264 MBs on a 64-bit data path),
•
has an optional 64-bit data path that is transparently interoperable with the 32-bit data path,
•
has low latency random accesses (about 60 ns write access latency) to slave registers from a PCI bus master
on the PCI bus,
•
is capable of full concurrency with the processor and PCI bus masters,
•
has full multimaster capability, allowing any PCI Master peer-to-peer access to any PCI slave,
•
has hidden and overlapped central arbitration,
•
has a low pin count (master - 47; slave - 45),
•
has address and data parity, and
•
uses three physical address spaces: 32-bit memory, 32-bit I/O, and a 256 byte-per-agent configuration
space.
