PI7C8150ANDE

Specialized Overview

The PI7C8150ANDE is a 2-port PCI-to-PCI bridge compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.3 and the PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, Revision 1.1. It features two 32-bit ports operating at clock frequencies up to 66MHz. The device supports Type 1 to Type 0 configuration conversion, Type 1 to Type 1 forwarding, and special cycle conversion. It includes an internal programmable 2-level priority arbiter for secondary bus masters, posted write buffers in all directions, four 128-byte FIFOs for delay transactions, and two 128-byte FIFOs for posted memory transactions. The component operates within an extended commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Specialized Feature Summary

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and environmental compliance. Confirm current availability status as components may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure design compatibility with required voltage signaling levels before procurement.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a system requires bridging two independent PCI buses with full specification compliance. Consider the available package options based on board space constraints. Verify that the target application does not require life support usage without specific written agreements.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the PI7C8150A family of PCI-to-PCI bridges manufactured by Pericom Semiconductor Corporation. The family provides solutions for connecting legacy PCI devices to modern systems while maintaining signal integrity and system timing requirements.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's official replacement guide for verified substitute part numbers. Generic cross-model comparisons are insufficient for functional equivalence verification.
