# PCI9060 Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The PCI9060 product series is a highly versatile and reliable set of integrated circuits designed specifically for Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus interface applications. These devices play a crucial role in enabling seamless communication between different components in a computer system, facilitating the transfer of data and control signals between the PCI bus and other peripheral devices. With their advanced features and robust performance, the PCI9060 series has become a popular choice in a wide range of industries, including industrial automation, telecommunications, medical equipment, and automotive electronics.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 PCI Bus Compatibility
- **PCI Specification Compliance**: The PCI9060 series fully complies with the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2, ensuring seamless integration with PCI-based systems. This compatibility allows for easy plug-and-play functionality, enabling quick and hassle-free installation of devices using the PCI9060 chips.
- **High-Speed Data Transfer**: It supports high-speed data transfer rates of up to 132 MB/s in 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus mode. This high bandwidth capability makes it suitable for applications that require fast and efficient data communication, such as data acquisition systems and high-speed storage devices.

### 2.2 Flexible Interface Options
- **Multiple Interface Modes**: The PCI9060 offers multiple interface modes, including Master, Target, and DMA (Direct Memory Access) modes. In Master mode, the device can initiate data transfers on the PCI bus, allowing it to control other peripheral devices. Target mode enables the device to respond to requests from the PCI bus master, making it suitable for slave devices. DMA mode provides a direct path for data transfer between memory and peripheral devices, bypassing the CPU and significantly improving data transfer efficiency.
- **Customizable Interface Signals**: The chip provides a set of configurable interface signals, allowing designers to tailor the device to specific application requirements. This flexibility enables the PCI9060 to interface with a wide variety of peripheral devices, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), and microcontrollers.

### 2.3 Low Power Consumption
- **Power Management Features**: The PCI9060 series incorporates advanced power management features to minimize power consumption. It supports various power states, including D0 (fully operational), D1 (low-power standby), D2 (deeper low-power standby), and D3 (off). These power states can be controlled programmatically, allowing the device to enter low-power modes when not in use, thereby reducing overall power consumption and extending battery life in portable applications.

### 2.4 On-Chip Memory and Registers
- **Internal Memory**: The device includes on-chip memory and registers for storing configuration data and control information. This internal memory simplifies the design process by eliminating the need for external memory components, reducing board space and cost. The registers can be accessed and programmed via the PCI bus, allowing for easy configuration and control of the device.
- **Interrupt Handling**: The PCI9060 provides a flexible interrupt handling mechanism, allowing it to generate and respond to interrupts from both the PCI bus and external devices. This feature enables efficient event-driven communication between the device and the system, improving overall system performance.

## 3. Applications

### 3.1 Industrial Automation
- **Data Acquisition Systems**: In industrial automation, the PCI9060 is used in data acquisition systems to interface sensors, actuators, and other industrial devices with the PCI bus. Its high-speed data transfer capability and flexible interface options make it suitable for collecting and processing large amounts of data from multiple sources in real-time.
- **Motion Control Systems**: The device is also employed in motion control systems to control the movement
