Adaptive High Performance Asynchronous 133MHz, 64-bit,

PCI-X –to– PCI-X Bridge for Servers, Storage, DSP, Telecommunication,

Networking and Embedded Applications

PLX’s FastLane™ PCI 6540 is a 64-Bit PCI-X-to-PCI-X bridge designed for high

performance, high availability applications in PCI-X-to-PCI conversion, frequency

conversions from a faster PCI-X to a slower PCI-X bus, address remapping, high

availability hot swap, and universal system-to-system bridging.

The FastLane™ PCI 6540 includes sophisticated buffer management and buffer

configuration options designed to provide customizable performance for efficient PCI-

X –to– PCI conversion and processor bridging. The PCI 6540 allows up to 2KB

prefetch during each PCI read and timed FIFO flush management.
