S5335

The S5335 was developed to break the PC data I/O bottleneck and clearly opens the door to increasing system speed and expansion capabilities. The PCI Local bus moves high speed peripherals from the I/O bus and places them closer to the system's processor bus, providing faster data transfers between the processor and peripherals. The PCI Local bus also addresses the industry's need for a bus standard which is not directly dependent on the speed, size and type of system processor. The S5335 represents the first microprocessor independent bus offering performance more than adequate for the most demanding applications such as full-motion video.

Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC), the premier supplier of single chip solutions, has developed the S5335 to solve the problem of interfacing applications to the PCI Local bus while offering support for newer PCI chipsets and operating systems. The S5335 is a powerful and flexible PCI controller supporting several levels of interface sophistication. At the lowest level, it can serve simply as a PCI bus Target with modest transfer requirements. For high-performance applications, the S5335 can become a Bus Master to attain the PCI Local bus peak transfer capability of 132 MBytes/sec. The S5335 was designed for 3.3V environment but its inputs/outputs are tolerant to 5V signaling.
