through a passive PC Card adapter or through a dedicated Flash Media socket. In addition, this function includes DMA
capabilities for improved Flash Media performance.
Function 4 of the PCI7611 controller is a PCI-based SD host controller that supports MMC, SD, and SDIO cards. This
function controls communication with these Flash Media cards through a passive PC Card adapter or through a
dedicated Flash Media socket. In addition, this function is compliant with the SD Host Controller Standard
Specification and includes both DMA capabilities and support for SD suspend/resume.
Function 5 of the PCI7611 controller is a PCI-based Smart Card controller used for communication with Smart Cards
inserted in PC Card adapters. Utilizing Smart Card technology from Gemplus, this function provides compatibility with
many different types of Smart Cards.
1.1.4 PCI7411 Controller
The PCI7411 controller is a four-function PCI controller compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3.
Function 0 provides an independent PC Card socket controller compliant with the PC Card Standard (Release 8.1).
The PCI7411 controller provides features that make it the best choice for bridging between the PCI bus and PC Cards,
and supports Smart Card, Flash Media, 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 PCI7411
controller is register compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF ExCA controller. The PCI7411 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
PCI7411 controller can be programmed to accept posted writes to improve bus utilization.
Function 2 of the PCI7411 controller is compatible with IEEE Std 1394a-2000 and the latest 1394 Open Host
Controller Interface Specification. The chip provides the IEEE1394 link and 2-port PHY function and is compatible
with data rates of 100, 200, and 400 Mbits per second. Deep FIFOs are provided to buffer 1394 data and
accommodate large host bus latencies. The PCI7411 controller provides physical write posting and a highly tuned
physical data path for SBP-2 performance.
Function 3 of the PCI7411 controller is a PCI-based Flash Media controller that supports Memory Stick, Memory
Stick-Pro, SmartMedia, XD, SD, and MMC cards. This function controls communication with these Flash Media cards
through a passive PC Card adapter or through a dedicated Flash Media socket. In addition, this function includes DMA
capabilities for improved Flash Media performance.
Function 4 of the PCI7411 controller is a PCI-based SD host controller that supports MMC, SD, and SDIO cards. This
function controls communication with these Flash Media cards through a passive PC Card adapter or through a
dedicated Flash Media socket. In addition, this function is compliant with the SD Host Controller Standard
Specification and includes both DMA capabilities and support for SD suspend/resume.
1.1.5 Multifunctional Terminals
Various implementation-specific functions and general-purpose inputs and outputs are provided through eight
multifunction terminals. These terminals present a system with options in PC/PCI DMA, serial and parallel interrupts,
PC Card activity indicator LEDs, flash media LEDs, and other platform-specific signals. PCI complaint
general-purpose events may be programmed and controlled through the multifunction terminals, and an
ACPI-compliant programming interface is included for the general-purpose inputs and outputs.
1.1.6 PCI Bus Power Management
The PCI7x21/PCI7x11 controller is compliant with the latest PCI Bus Power Management Specification, and provides
several low-power modes, which enable the host power system to further reduce power consumption.
1.1.7 Power Switch Interface
The PCI7x21/PCI7x11 controller also has a three-pin serial interface compatible with the Texas Instruments TPS2228
(default), TPS2226, TPS2224, and TPS2223A power switches. All four power switches provide power to the CardBus
socket(s) on the PCI7x21/PCI7x11 controller. The power to each dedicated socket is controlled through separate
power control pins. Each of these power control pins can be connected to an external 3.3-V power switch.
