DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments PCI6515A controller is an integrated, single-socket, PC Card controller and Smart Card
controller. This high-performance integrated solution provides the latest in PC Card and Smart Card technology.
The PCI6515A controller is a two-function PCI controller compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision
2.3.
Function 0 provides an independent PC Card socket controllers compliant with the PC Card Standard (Release
8.1). The controller provides features that make it the best choice for bridging between the PCI bus and PC
Cards, and supports 16-bit, CardBus, or USB custom card interface PC Cards, powered at 5 V or 3.3 V, as
required.
All card signals are internally buffered to allow hot insertion and removal without external buffering. The
controller is register compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF ExCA controller. The internal data path logic allows
the host to access 8-, 16-, and 32-bit cards using full 32-bit PCI cycles for maximum performance. Independent
buffering and a pipeline architecture provide an unsurpassed performance level with sustained bursting. The
controller can be programmed to accept posted writes to improve bus utilization.
Function 5 of the PCI6515A controller is a PCI-based Smart Card controller used for communication with Smart
Cards inserted in PC Card adapters or the dedicated Smart Card socket. Utilizing Smart Card technology from
Gemplus, this function provides compatibility with many different types of Smart Cards.
