PLX Webcasts PCI-to-PCI Bridging to Asia
5/21/2004 - PLX Technology, Ltd. (NASDAQ: PLXT, www.plxtech.com), the leading supplier of standard I/O interconnect silicon to the communications, server, storage and embedded-control industries, announced that its in-depth TechOnline (www.techonline.com) seminar on PCI-to-PCI bridging will be Webcast next month in Japan and Asia. The online seminar, titled "Useful Tips for the PCI System Designer: Avoiding the Pitfalls of the Common P-Bridge" addressing methods of maximizing PCI-to-PCI bridging in a range of applications, will be Webcast via TechOnline on Wednesday, 26 May, 09:00 (Taiwan/China) and 10:00 (Japan).
"This Webcast highlights real-world applications that illustrate for design engineers and manufacturers how key bridge features are utilized to solve a variety of problems in developing boards and systems using the PCI interconnect," said Stephen Moore, PLX senior product manager, who will present next week's TechOnline seminar. "It examines a variety of PCI bridge applications, ranging from low-cost 32-bit, 33MHz transparent synchronous interfaces up through non-transparent asynchronous devices that bridge to high-performance 133MHz PCI-X systems. This is information that we anticipate will be highly valuable to a range of industries throughout Asia and Japan."
The seminar addresses a wide range of issues an engineer may face when developing systems using PLX® PCI bridging devices:
- addressing primary and secondary busses running at different rates
- Hot Swap implementation in CompactPCI systems
- upgrading from 33MHz to 66MHz bus speeds
- deploying several 133MHz PCI-X slots on the same card
- developing a board that can serve as both a system card and a peripheral card in CompactPCI systems
- PCI-X requirements for dual Gigabit Ethernet NICS
- reducing slot usage by deploying multiple functions on a single PCI card
- using the most cost-effective 32-bit 33MHz bridge solution for low-end add-in cards
- bridging to a multi-host failover system
- addressing bus-master load limitations
