SPD6729QCC

Specialized Overview

The SPD6729QCC is a specialized interface controller manufactured by Altera, designed to facilitate connectivity between PCI bus architectures and PC Card (PCMCIA) standards. This integrated circuit serves as a bridge component, enabling the integration of legacy or specific peripheral card interfaces within systems utilizing PCI infrastructure. The device supports the electrical and protocol translation required for reliable data exchange between these distinct bus types.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Provides dedicated hardware support for PCI to PC Card (PCMCIA) interface control
• Functions as a specialized bridge controller for system bus interconnectivity

Specialized Applications

• PCI-based systems requiring PCMCIA slot integration
• Industrial control hardware with legacy card expansion needs
• Embedded systems bridging PCI buses to peripheral card interfaces

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through official manufacturer channels or authorized distributors due to potential availability constraints. Confirm package specifications and pinout compatibility with target PCB designs prior to acquisition. Ensure compliance with relevant regulatory standards for the intended deployment environment.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a direct hardware solution is required to connect PCI architecture to PCMCIA peripherals without software emulation overhead. Evaluate system requirements for interface speed and signal integrity against the controller's capabilities. Consider physical footprint and power consumption relative to the host system design constraints.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to Altera's portfolio of specialized interface and logic solutions. Altera, now part of Intel, historically produced a wide range of programmable logic and interface controllers. The SPD6729 series addresses niche connectivity needs in enterprise and industrial computing environments where standard bridges were insufficient.
