2.1.3 PCI6612 Controller
The PCI6612 controller is a four-function PCI controller compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification,
Revision 2.3.
Function 0 provides an independent PC Card socket controller compliant with the PC Card Standard
(Release 8.1). The PCI6612 controller provides features that make it the best choice for bridging between the
PCI bus and PC Cards, and supports Smart Card, 16-bit, CardBus, or USB custom card interface PC Cards,
powered at 5 V or 3.3 V, as required.
All card signals are internally buffered to allow hot insertion and removal without external buffering. The
PCI6612 controller is register compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF ExCA controller. The PCI6612 internal
data path logic allows the host to access 8-, 16-, and 32-bit cards using full 32-bit PCI cycles for maximum
performance. Independent buffering and a pipeline architecture provide an unsurpassed performance level
with sustained bursting. The PCI6612 controller can be programmed to accept posted writes to improve bus
utilization.
Function 2 of the PCI6612 controller is a PCI-based Flash Media controller that supports Memory Stick,
Memory Stick-Pro, SmartMedia, xD, SD, and MMC cards. This function controls communication with these
Flash Media cards through a dedicated Flash Media socket. In addition, this function includes DMA
capabilities for improved Flash Media performance.
Function 3 of the PCI6612 controller is a PCI-based SD host controller that supports MMC, SD, and SDIO
cards. This function controls communication with these Flash Media cards through a dedicated Flash Media
socket. In addition, this function is compliant with the SD Host Controller Standard Specification and includes
DMA capabilities, support for high-speed mode, and support for SD suspend/resume.
Function 4 of the PCI6612 controller is a PCI-based Smart Card controller used for communication with Smart
Cards inserted in PC Card adapters. Utilizing Smart Card technology from Gemplus, this function provides
compatibility with many different types of Smart Cards.
2.1.4 PCI7402 Controller
The PCI7402 controller is a four-function PCI controller compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification,
Revision 2.3.
Function 0 is a dummy PC Card controller function. The PC Card socket is non-functional and the pins
associated with the PC card socket may be left unconnected. The function is required for device enumeration
and is provided for BIOS compatibility with existing devices. The PC Card function may be hidden from the
OS by the BIOS.
Function 1 of the PCI7402 controller is compatible with IEEE Std 1394a-2000 and the latest 1394 Open Host
Controller Interface Specification. The chip provides the IEEE1394 link and 2-port PHY function and is
compatible with data rates of 100, 200, and 400 Mbits per second. Deep FIFOs are provided to buffer 1394
data and accommodate large host bus latencies. The PCI7402 controller provides physical write posting and
a highly tuned physical data path for SBP-2 performance.
Function 2 of the PCI7402 controller is a PCI-based Flash Media controller that supports Memory Stick,
Memory Stick-Pro, SmartMedia, xD, SD, and MMC cards. This function controls communication with these
Flash Media cards through a dedicated Flash Media socket. In addition, this function includes DMA
capabilities for improved Flash Media performance.
Function 3 of the PCI7402 controller is a PCI-based SD host controller that supports MMC, SD, and SDIO
cards. This function controls communication with these Flash Media cards through a dedicated Flash Media
socket. In addition, this function is compliant with the SD Host Controller Standard Specification and includes
DMA capabilities, support for high-speed mode, and support for SD suspend/resume.
