Patent number: 6691200Abstract: A multi-port Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus bridge allows for cascading of PCI buses and reduction of bus loading and traffic. The multi-port PCI bridge has three or more ports that connect to PCI buses. At each destination port, a pair of data FIFOs is provided for each source port, for read and write data. Each destination port has three address FIFOs, one for posted-memory-write (PMW) addresses, another for delayed-transaction-request (DTR) addresses and data, and a third for delayed-transaction-completion (DTC) addresses. An address mux receives addresses from all source ports and combines them into the three address FIFOs. When addresses arrive concurrently, the address mux delays one address until the first address has been written into the address FIFO, and then writes the delayed address. Since separate data FIFOs are used for each source port, data is not delayed. Concurrent transactions from different source ports to the same destination port can occur.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2001Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Pericom Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Zhinan Zhou, Kimchung Arthur Wong
