Product Description

Product Description

PLEASE PROVIDE DESCRIPTION



From the Back Cover

PCI System Architecture is a detailed and comprehensive guide to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus Specification, Intel's technology for fast communication between peripheral devices and the computer processor.

This new edition has been thoroughly updated, reorganized, and expanded to cover the PCI Local Bus Specification version 2.2 and other recent developments, including the new PCI Hot-Plug Specification, changes to the PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, revisions to the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification, and the new features of the PCI BIOS Specification.

This book provides clear and concise explanations of the relationship of PCI to the rest of the system and PCI fundamentals, including commands, read and write transfers, memory and I/O addressing, error handling, interrupts, and configuration transactions and registers. In addition, you will find specific information on such key topics as:

  • Hot-Plug Specification
  • Power management
  • CompactPCI
  • The 64-bit PCI Extension
  • 66 MHz PCI Implementation
  • Expansion ROMs
  • PCI-to-PCI Bridge and the PCI BIOS
  • Add-in cards and connectors
  • Bus arbitration
  • Reflected-wave switching
  • Early transaction end
  • Fast back-to-back and stepping

Changes from PCI 2.1 to PCI 2.2 and changes from PCI-to-PCI Bridge Specification 1.0 to 1.1 are visibly highlighted throughout the book so that those familiar with the previous versions can quickly get a handle on new features and functions.

Anyone who designs or tests hardware or software involving the PCI bus will find PCI System Architecture, Fourth Edition a valuable resource for understanding and working with this important technology.

The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title explains from a programmer's perspective the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using one particular type of chip or hardware specification.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for a first dive into PCI but insificent in scope, 28 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Much padding with information-less figures. The first 4 chapters are a review of EISA and of such low detail they are just filler (but I must admit it caused me to buy thier prior books on this subject). With the new bridge chips, it will be out of date soon, but a good "bed time read" on PCI concepts. Clearly better then attending the committee meetings. If you are about to decide on a chipset or build a real design, it does not have sufficient information for your needs, see the various solution vendors PDF files. If you are looking for easy to digest background, get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book tells it all, 29 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This book describes the PCI architecture plain and simply. It completely explains the PCI bus in such a way that I understood it all immediately and I still remember most of the important information and details a year after reading it.
