PLX Technology Webcasts Useful Tips for PCI System Designer
7/15/2004 - PLX Technology (NASDAQ: PLXT, www.plxtech.com), the leading supplier of standard I/O interconnect silicon to the communications, server, storage, embedded-control, and consumer industries, announced it will deliver next week its second TechOnline (www.techonline.com) Webcast on PCI-to-PCI bridging. The Monday, July 26 (10:00 a.m. PDT) PLX® Webcast, titled “Useful Tips for the PCI System Designer, Part Two: How To Ensure Broad Compatibility with Legacy PCI Systems,” is structured to provide systems architects and board designers with an understanding of compatibility issues surrounding PCI bridging options, along with the knowledge to select and configure the optimal bridge for specific applications.
“Design engineers continue to face the challenge of selecting the right PCI bridge for the systems and add-in boards they develop, with compatibility being one of the foremost issues,” said Steve Moore, senior product marketing manager at PLX, who will deliver the July 26 online seminar. “This Webcast is intended to help those engineers sort through and understand the options they have to meet this challenge. With this knowledge, they’ll be better able to address the full spectrum of bus requirements, from legacy 32-bit PCI add-in cards and motherboards to full PCI-X 133MHz designs.”
“Useful Tips for the PCI System Designer, Part Two: How To Ensure Broad Compatibility with Legacy PCI Systems” will examine:
- sources of incompatibility with legacy cards and systems
- designing new add-in cards to work with legacy systems
- supporting legacy add-in cards in new systems
- independent primary and secondary bus clocking (asynchronous bridging)
- I/O logic level translation
- bridging into different bus widths
- upgrading add-in cards to 64-bit, 66MHz PCI and to PCI-X
