Bridge chip brings HyperTransport to PCI-X
The high-performance AS90L10204 HyperTransport-to-PCI-X bridge is optimised for computing applications including workstations, computer servers, server blades, workstations and desktop PCs.
Alliance's AS90L10204, works with AMD's Opteron and Athlon families of X86-microprocessors, as well as with Transmeta's Efficeon microprocessor.
The AS90L10204, microprocessor and a south bridge, create a three-piece chipset that bridges the HyperTransport interface from the Opteron, Athlon or Efficeon microprocessors to the PCI-X bus.
This enables system manufacturers to tap into the vast infrastructure of peripherals and system components based on PCI-X, such as network interface cards (NICs), RAID controllers, host bus adapters (HBA) and others.
"This recognition is another validation of our revolutionary technology", said Robert Napaa, Vice President of Marketing for Alliance's System Solutions and Memory Business Units.
"The AS90L10204 HyperTransport-to-PCI-X Bridge expands the possibilities of today's PC and server system architectures by providing new design options based on the HyperTransport technology".
The AS90L10204 supports two 8bit HyperTransport interfaces that provide 1.6Gbyte/s of bandwidth in each direction and a single 64bit, 133MHz PCI-X bus which enables the connectivity to a variety of PCI-X based peripherals and addon cards.
