Applications
This section provides a block diagram for a typical the 41210 Bridge application. This application
shows a PCI-E adapter card with two Dual 2Gb Fibre Channel controllers. Each of the PCI-X bus
segments is connected to the Dual 2Gb Fibre Channel chip running at 133MHz. The two Dual FC
chips provides the four 2Gb/s outputs.
