Summary
Because the PCI bus applies to numerous system architectures, it allows a single add-in card hardware design to be
created for multiple platforms. The PCI standard also provides the bandwidth required for many new, high-perfor-
mance applications.
The AMCC S5933 provides a flexible, low-cost, compliant interface to the PCI bus. The architecture of the S5933
makes it an excellent choice for cards being converted from the ISA/EISA standard, as well as newer applications
requiring high data rates and bus mastering capabilities. These applications include frame grabbers, work station
graphics, satellite receivers, modems, ISDN/FDDI/ATM communications and I/O interfaces. The S5933 allows the
hardware developer to focus on the actual application development rather than debugging the PCI bus interface logic.
This significantly shortens design cycles and decreases development costs.
