Overview

Description

The IDT Tsi384 evaluation board is ideal for evaluating and prototyping the Tsi384 PCIe-to-PCI bridge. The Tsi384 evaluation board is an extended height x4 PCIe card that is designed to fit into a standard PCIe slot on a PC motherboard, or interconnect with other cards equipped with a standard PCIe connector.
 
The evaluation board uses the Tsi384 to bridge between x4 PCIe on the card edge to three 64-bit PCI/X slots on the board.

Features

  • Single x4 lane, 1 GBps PCIe® extended height riser card
  • Fully compliant with PCI Express Specification (Revision 1.1)
  • Three 64-bit, PCI-X slots (up to 133 MHz); or three 64-bit PCI slots (up to 66 MHz)
  • Serial EEPROM that can be programmed with optimized settings for the Tsi384
  • PCI power supported through system or external ATX supply
  • Optional on-board PCIe reference clock
  • Optional on-board PCI bus clock
  • Manual and auto-detect PCI bus clock frequency
  • Over current protection
  • Optional PCI bus arbiter CPLD
