PCI4510AGHK

Overview

The Texas Instruments PCI4510AGHK is an integrated single-socket PC Card controller featuring an IEEE 1394a-2000 Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) PHY and link-layer controller. It supports two fully compliant IEEE 1394 cable ports operating at 100M, 200M, and 400M bits/s. The device bridges the 33-MHz PCI bus to the 1394 bus, supporting both 16-bit PC Cards and CardBus with hot insertion/removal. It utilizes a 209-pin Microstar BGA package and operates with a 1.8-V core logic and 3.3-V I/O.

Feature Summary

• Integrated IEEE 1394a-2000 OHCI PHY/Link-Layer Controller with two cable ports
• PC Card Standard 8.0 compliant socket controller supporting CardBus and 16-bit cards
• PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 compliant with deep FIFOs for latency tolerance
• Supports PCI power management states D0 through D3 and ACPI general-purpose events

Applications

• High-volume PC applications requiring integrated PC Card and FireWire connectivity
• Systems needing simultaneous expansion via PC Card sockets and IEEE 1394 peripherals
• Battery-powered devices utilizing advanced power-down features for energy conservation

Procurement Notes

Verify the ACTIVE status of the PCI4510AGHK before design finalization. Confirm that the 209-pin Microstar BGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Ensure the design environment supports the required 1.8-V core and 3.3-V I/O voltage levels. Check for any specific RoHS or Green material compliance requirements relevant to the target market regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single IC solution is required for both PC Card expansion and IEEE 1394 host functionality. It is suitable for designs needing support for 100M, 200M, and 400M data rates on the 1394 bus. Consider the 209-BGA package size and thermal characteristics during mechanical design. Verify compatibility with existing PCI bus architectures and interrupt routing schemes.

Part Context

The PCI4510A series integrates PC Card and IEEE 1394 functionalities into a single chip, reducing board space compared to discrete solutions. The GHK suffix denotes the 209-pin Microstar BGA package variant. This device replaces separate controllers for PC Card sockets and 1394 host interfaces, simplifying system architecture for high-volume PC platforms.

Replacement Considerations

The PCI4510AZHK is a pin-compatible alternative within the same family, distinguished by its 'Green' packaging classification (RoHS compliant and free of Bromine/Antimony). Both variants share identical electrical and functional specifications.
