3.11PCI Interface

The PCI Controller of the IXP43X network processors is an industry-standard, 32-bit interface, high-performance bus that operates at 33 MHz(PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.2).

The PCI interface is capable of operating as a host or an option. This PCI implementation supports 3.3 V I/O only.

As indicated in Figure 13, a PCI transparent bridge is required to support Compact PCI.

General PCI routing guidelines can be found in Section 6.2, “Topology” on page 67. For detailed information, see the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.2.
