PCI System Architecture

Author:Tom Shanley and Don Anderson Publisher: Addison Wesley Weight: 2 lbs. Pages: 787 "One of the major benefits of the PCI specification is that it is defined with many engineering disciplines in mind: architecture, protocol, components, board layout, and software. Mindshare's PCI System Architecture is an excellent resource for understanding all these aspects and their interrelationships." - Todd Koelling, Application Engineer; Intel Corporation Description 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. About the Authors... Tom Shanley is one of the world's foremost authorities on PC system architecture and has personally trained thousands of engineers in hardware and software design. Don Anderson passes on his wealth of experience in digital electronics and computer design by training engineers, programmers, and technicians for MindShare. Back to Bookstore
