PI7C8150BMAE

Specialized Overview

The PI7C8150BMAE is an asynchronous 2-port PCI-to-PCI bridge manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It operates with a 32-bit address bus and a 32-bit external data bus, supporting maximum clock frequencies of up to 66 MHz. The device is housed in a 208-pin FQFP package (JESD-30 code S-PQFP-G208) measuring 17 mm in length with a maximum seating height of 1.76 mm. It features 208 terminals, complies with JESD-609 code e3, and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to 85°C.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Asynchronous bridging between two independent PCI buses
• Supports standard PCI transaction types including memory, I/O, and configuration cycles
• Integrated secondary bus arbiter for internal arbitration control
• IEEE 1149.1 compatible JTAG controller for boundary scan testing

Specialized Applications

• Connecting multiple PCI expansion buses in server architectures
• System integration requiring isolated PCI domains
• Industrial computing platforms utilizing standard PCI peripherals

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the component matches the specific PI7C8150BMAE designation against official datasheets. Confirm the package type corresponds to the 208-pin FQFP form factor. Ensure the manufacturer aligns with Diodes Incorporated or authorized Pericom Semiconductor sources. Validate that the revision history and ordering information match current production standards.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring asynchronous communication between distinct PCI segments. Consider the 208-pin FQFP footprint during PCB layout planning. Evaluate the 66 MHz operational capability against system timing requirements. Verify compatibility with existing PCI bus protocols and voltage levels before implementation.
