PCI-X Extender

The DNPCIXEXT-S3/5 is an extender card designed to aid in the debug and test of PCI and PCIX-based circuit boards. This extender can be plugged into any known PCI/PCI-X slot - +3.3V or +5V, 32-bit or 64-bit, PCI or PCIX. This is an active extender card--meaning that a Tundra Tsi320TM Dual-Mode PCI-to-PCI Bus Bridge is used to isolate the Primary PCI/PCI-X bus from the two secondary PCI/PCI-X bus slots. A single slot can contain up to two plug-in PCI/PCI-X cards. The primary PCI frequency can range from 0 to 66.66MHz for PCI and TBD-to-TBD if PCI-X. The frequency of the secondary PCI/PCI-X bus is independent of the primary frequency, and is user-selectable via jumpers and a socketed oscillator. The secondary bus frequency may be configured as slow as TBD - idea for ASIC emulation on products from Cadence, Mentor, The DINI Group, et al. The DNPCIXEXT-S3 can be used to create two PCIX slots from any PCI slot.
