Working Principles

The PI7C9X1170ABLE acts as a bridge between the PCIe and PCI buses. It receives data from the PCIe bus and converts it into a format compatible with the PCI bus. Similarly, it receives data from the PCI bus and converts it into a format compatible with the PCIe bus. This allows seamless communication between devices connected to both buses.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The PI7C9X1170ABLE is commonly used in various applications, including:

1. Industrial Automation: Integrating modern PCIe-based industrial control cards into legacy PCI-based systems.
2. Embedded Systems: Enabling PCIe device connectivity in embedded systems with limited PCIe support.
3. Legacy System Upgrades: Upgrading older systems by adding PCIe functionality without replacing the entire system.
4. Test and Measurement Equipment: Facilitating the integration of high-speed PCIe test and measurement cards into existing PCI-based equipment.

Alternative Models

1. PI7C9X1170ABE: Similar to PI7C9X1170ABLE, but available in a different package (e.g., TQFP).
