PCI-X interfaces I/O components to the processor and memory
subsystems in equipment ranging from PCs to servers. The PCI-X interface
operates as a 64-bit DMA bus master capable of 64-bit addressing.
The PCI-X interface includes the following features:
• Full 64-bit DMA bus master
• LSIFC929X/LSIFC919X functionality:
– Zero wait-state bus master data bursts up to 1 Kbyte
– Host adapters comply with PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.2
– 3.3 V interface
• Serial EEPROM configuration storage
• Host adapters comply with PCI-X/133 Local Bus Specification,
Rev. 1.0a
