The V363EPC offers the highest performance, most flexible, and most economical solution for interfacing either 32-bit or 16-bit local bus applications to the PCI bus. It is also an ideal candidate for a variety of high-performance applications based on Motorola, IBM, DEC, Hitachi, and other popular embedded processors where only a minimal amount of glue logic is needed.
V363EPC is the 3.3 V enhanced version of the V350EPC and V360EPC Rev A1 devices and supports powerful features like Hot Swap and DMA chaining. The PCI bus operates at up to 50 MHz, independent of local bus clock frequency. The overall throughput of the system is dramatically improved by using our unique Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation™ architecture.
