PI7C8150AMAE

Specialized Overview

The PI7C8150AMAE is a 2-port PCI-to-PCI bridge manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for full compliance with the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.3. It features two 32-bit ports operating at clock frequencies up to 66 MHz. The device supports 3.3V core voltage and accommodates both 3.3V and 5V signaling levels. It operates within an extended commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C. The component is available in a 208-pin FQFP package.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Supports Type 1 to Type 0 configuration conversion and Type 1 to Type 1 forwarding
• Includes internal programmable arbiter for secondary bus masters
• Features posted write buffers and dedicated FIFOs for delay transactions
• Compliant with Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) specifications

Specialized Applications

• Connecting primary and secondary PCI buses in computer systems
• Expanding PCI bus capacity through multi-port bridging
• Implementing hot-plug capable PCI architectures

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and environmental ratings. Confirm RoHS status and lead-free availability requirements prior to procurement. Check current lifecycle status as components may be subject to discontinuation notices from the manufacturer.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32-bit PCI bridge supporting 66MHz operation is required. Ensure the design environment supports the specified 3.3V core voltage and extended temperature range. Verify that the 208-pin FQFP package fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the PI7C8150A family of PCI-to-PCI bridges. The 'MAE' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or environmental variations within the product line. The base model provides the foundational architecture for high-performance PCI interconnect solutions.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Consult official manufacturer substitution guides for verified alternatives. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics carefully before replacing legacy inventory.
