AS90L10208 January 2004 Press Release HyperTransport-to-PCI/PCI-X Bridge The AS90L10208 is a high performance third generation HyperTransportTM-to-PCI/PCI-X bridge capable of transferring data between the HT host port and the other HT port or the PCI/PCI-X port. It is designed for bandwidth-hungry and performance-intensive applications in communications, networking, servers, and storage systems. The next generation AS90L10208 HT-to-PCI/PCI-X bridge expands the possibilities of today's systems architects by providing HT-based design options never possible before. Each HT port operates at a frequency of up to 800 MHz DDR for both transmit and receive directions and sustains a total aggregate bandwidth up to 25.6 Gbps per 8-bit bidirectional HT port. Each AS90L10208 HT port can be 2, 4, or 8 bits wide in both transmit and receive directions. AS90L10208 supports one 64-bit, PCI/PCI-X1.0b configurable port. A fairness algorithm allocates bandwidth among devices, thereby eliminating starvation of bridges at the end of the chain. Up to 31 devices can be daisy-chained to build higher capacity systems with multiple PCI/PCI-X buses and HTbased peripherals. Key Features Two bidirectional 8-bit HyperTransport interfaces: * Supports 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 800 MHz DDR (double data rate) for peak bandwidth of 3.2GB/s per 8-bit bidirectional HT port * Supports dynamic frequency reprogramming Complies with HyperTransport 1.05 Interface Specification. Tunnels between the two HyperTransport interfaces. No protocol-induced maximum HyperTransport link length, which allows system designers to optimize speed vs. distance. The HT interfaces support dual-hosted chain. One 64-bit configurable PCI/PCI-X1.0 port: * 1 x 64 bit, up to 66 MHz PCI 2.2 or up to 133 MHz PCI-X 1.0b * 2 x 32 bit, up to 66 MHz PCI 2.2 or up to 133 MHz PCI-X 1.0b Complies with PCI Local Bus Specifications, Rev. 2.2 Supports with parity and error checking features. Supports daisy-chaining up to 31 devices. The bandwidth is shared among the devices using a fairness algorithm. Built-in two-level PCI arbiter with support for up to six devices * Can also be configured to support an external arbiter. 3.3 V PCI I/O with 5 V tolerant I/Os. Superset register compatible with the SP1011 to leverage the same software driver Con be configured to emulate a single or a dual SP1011 devices Transaction forwarding for the following commands: * All I/O and memory commands * Type 1 to Type 1 configuration commands (downstream only) * Type 1 to Type 0 configuration commands (downstream only) Evaluation board available with firmware and software drivers. 1.8 V core, 1.2 V HT IO, 3.3 V PCI/PCI-X IO.

Host CPUs can be connected to both HT interfaces for greater system flexibility and for sharing PCI-based resources. Supports PCI Plug and Play capability reducing system design complexity and time to market. Low power consumption increases system reliability. Built-in PCI/PCI-X arbiter reduces system cost. Uses existing PCI/PCI-X drivers and firmware to reduce system development and debug time. 31 devices can be daisy-chained to enable a flexible and modular system implementation. Deterministic low latency per tunnel meets the requirements of real-time applications. * Enterprise LAN switches * Storage systems and switches (SAN, NAS, RAID, FC) * Firewalls and security gateways * High-end computing systems * Servers and server clusters * Printing, graphics, and imaging Systems * VPN switches and routers * Edge and access routers * MAN switches * Wireless gateways * Voice and multimedia access gateways * Multiservice access concentrators * IP service switches and core routers * Test equipment and network probes System Block Diagram Memory Integrated P AS90L10208 AS90L10208 HT Port HT Port I/O peripherals Mem CPU Ctrl Core HT Port IO control HT Port PCI/PCI-X PCI/PCI-X PCI PCIPeripheral Peripheral Boot BootROM ROM IO IOsubsystem subsystem PCI PCIPeripheral Peripheral Contact Us Alliance Semiconductor Corporation 2575 Augustine Drive Santa Clara, CA, 95054, USA Phone: 408-855-4900, Fax: 408-855-4999 HT Port Up to 29 additional Devices PCI-X PCI-XPeripheral Peripheral Notice: Information in this document is subject to change without notice HyperTransportTM is a trademark of the HyperTransport Technology Consortium www.alsc.com www.alsc.com Alliance Semiconductor 2003, 2004 (c) Copyright Alliance Semiconductor Corporation.
