PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT (PCI) BACKPLANE CONNECTIVITY SYSTEM ON CHIP (SoC)

Abstract:

An integrated circuit. The integrated circuit comprises an interconnect communication bus and a plurality of peripheral component interconnect (PCI) multi-function endpoints (MFN-EPs) coupled to the interconnect communication bus, each PCI MFN-EP comprising a multiplexing device, a first address translation unit (ATU), and at least one PCI function circuit, each PCI function circuit comprising another ATU and a plurality of base address registers (BARs).
