PCI 9030
SMARTargetI/O Accelerator
As PCI evolves in today's complex systems, PLX continues to provide market
leading, high performance 32-bit PCI solutions. In this tradition, PLX is offering
the PCI 9030 SMARTarget I/O Accelerator.
There are many ways to do a PCI target design. Many PCI chip and core
designs only attempt to implement the minimum PCI v2.1 bus interface signaling
and call it complete. This leaves the burden of connectivity, performance and
system compatibility on the designer. Only the PCI 9030 has SMARTarget tech-
nology, a set of advanced features which go far beyond the minimum to pro-
vide the best possible performance and flexibility to simplify the design. A basic
target design is one thing, but a SMARTarget design is much more.
The PCI 9030 brings PLX's industry leading experience in the world of PCI
designs to you in a way that is simple and convenient to use. The PCI 9030 is
the perfect solution for applications such as:
Migrating Legacy Designs to PCI
Whether you are migrating an ISA or other older design to PCI, or upgrading
your current PCI target design, the PCI 9030 with SMARTarget technology pro-
vides the fastest and easiest route to PCI. The PCI 9030 has the industry's most
flexible local bus which allows for multiple interface options to a wide variety
of memory and I/O devices. Combine that with fully tested, compatible PCI v2.2
compliance, and your design risk is virtually zero.
CompactPCI Hot Swap Designs
Building upon PLX's experience in CompactPCI, the PCI 9030 is the industry's
first CompactPCI Hot Swap Ready Target device. This allows all of your
CompactPCI I/O board designs to be compatible with both traditional
CompactPCI and the new Hot Swap system designs.
Smaller Form Factor Designs
The PCI 9030 offers a 180-pin mBGA packaging option. Where space is a consid-
eration, this ultra-thin, dime-sized package is an ideal solution. This allows for
flexibility in real estate sensitive designs such as PMC or PC-MIP Mezzanine
cards, and PCMCIA PC-Cards.

Posted Memory Writes. A PCI memory
write can be posted to the PCI 9030 for
later transfer to the Local bus. This
allows for maximum PCI performance
and avoids potential deadlock situations.
SMARTarget Flexibility Features
Programmable Local Bus operates up
to 60MHz and supports both non-
multiplexed and multiplexed 32-bit
address/data protocol, and Dynamic
Local Bus width control allowing slave
accesses of 8-,16- or 32-bit devices.
Supports 5 PCI to Local Address
spaces. These spaces (Space 0,1,2,3 and
Expansion ROM Spaces) allow a PCI
Bus Master to access the local memory
spaces with individually programmable
wait states, bus width, and burst
capabilities.
The PCI 9030 has 9 programmable
General Purpose I/Os which may
be used for a variety of purposes.
Four programmable Chip
selects eliminate decode logic.
CompactPCI Hot Swap Ready
Supports Automatic on-the-fly Big
Endian and Little Endian conversion
for all operations and data types.
Interrupt Generator can assert PCI inter-
rupts from external and internal sources.
Fully supports the Vital Product Data
(VPD) PCI v2.2 extension including New
Capabilities Structure. Provides an alter-
nate access method for user or system
defined parameters or configuration data.
PCI Target Programmable Burst. The PCI
9030 may be programmed for several
burst lengths, including unlimited burst.
This allows for maximum transfer rates
on both the PCI and local bus.
PCI Target Delayed Write. The PCI 9030
supports PCI Target Delayed Write mode
where the PCI Target Write data is post-
poned in the PCI Target Write FIFO to
allow uninterrupted burst transactions
on the Local bus. This allows for a higher
throughput for conditions in which the
PCI clock frequency is slower than the
Local clock frequency or when Local bus
bursting is desirable.
PCI 9030 SMARTarget I/O
Accelerator
Only the PCI 9030 has SMARTarget tech-
nology, a set of advanced features which
go far beyond the minimum to provide
the best possible performance and flexi-
bility to simplify the design. A basic target
design is one thing, but a SMARTarget
design is much more.
SMARTarget Performance Features:
PCI v2.2 Compliant 32-bit, 33MHz
Target Interface Chip enabling PCI Burst
Transfers up to 132Mbytes/second.
Up to 60MHz Local Bus operation
enabling burst transfers up to
240Mbytes/second
PCI Target Read Ahead Mode. The
PCI 9030 will prefetch a programmable
amount of data from the local bus.
The prefetched data can then be burst
transferred on the PCI bus from the PCI
9030 internal PCI Target Read FIFO. The
prefetch size can be programmed to
match the PCI master burst length or can
be used as PCI Target Read Ahead mode
data. This feature allows for increased
bandwidth and reduced read latency.

Additional Features
5V Tolerant Operation- The PCI 9030
requires 3.3 Vcc. It provides 3.3V signal-
ing with 5V I/O tolerance on the PCI
and Local Buses.
Serial EEPROM Interface-Contains an
interface for an optional serial EEPROM
that can be used to load configuration
information.
Clocks-The Local Bus runs from a local
bus clock and asserts the necessary
internal clocks. This clock runs asynchro-
nously to the PCI clock. The PCI 9030
provides a PCI Buffered clock which can
be used as a local bus clock if desired.
PCI Power Management supports both
D0, D3hot and D3cold power states.

PCI 9030 Applications
PCI Target Adapter Card
The PCI 9030 can be used in a wide vari-
ety of applications in networking, telecom,
imaging, industrial and storage. The PCI
9030 simplifies migration of legacy designs
to PCI by providing a convenient off-the-
shelf solution that can enable you to
have your prototypes operational in as
little as one week. At the same time, the
PCI 9030's built in SMARTarget perfor-
mance features guarantee you will meet
or beat your performance goals. In addi-
tion, SMARTarget flexibility features such
as 3.3V and 5V tolerant I/O buffers and
local bus operation up to 60MHz, enable
you to connect a wide variety of memory
and I/O devices. With SMARTarget in
action, PCI Target Adapter designs have
never been simpler. Figure 1 shows a
typical PCI Target adapter card.
CompactPCI Hot Swap Adapter Card
Hot Swap capability is a requirement for
today's CompactPCI systems.
The PCI 9030 provides an
excellent solution because it is
the industry's first Hot Swap

mentation. The PCI 9030 is a
PICMG v2.1 Hot Swap Ready
target device including the
following features:
