Product details
Overview
The PCI1410AGGU from Texas Instruments is a PCI-to-PC Card bridge controller supporting both 16-bit PC Card and 32-bit CardBus sockets, compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification Rev 2.1 and PC Card Standard Release 5.0. It operates at 33 MHz PCI clock, supports 3.3 V/5 V dual-voltage card power switching via integrated TPS2211 interface, and implements full ExCA register compatibility for legacy driver reuse. It is used in notebook and desktop expansion slots for hot-pluggable I/O peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the PCI1410AGGU datasheet, PCI1410AGGU pinout, PCI1410AGGU application, or PCI1410AGGU equivalent, key selection criteria include CardBus/16-bit dual-mode support, ExCA register mapping fidelity, PCI master/slave flexibility, integrated power-switch control signaling, and Suspend/ACPI-compliant power management for mobile platforms.
Technical Context
The PCI1410AGGU implements a configurable PCI-to-PC Card bridge with two operational modes: 16-bit PC Card legacy mode and 32-bit CardBus mode. Its internal architecture includes a PCI configuration space (256-byte header), ExCA-compatible register set mapped to I/O and memory space, and dedicated distributed DMA (DDMA) engine supporting PC/PCI channel arbitration.
It integrates hardware-level support for PCI Power Management (D0–D3hot), CardBus-specific suspend/resume sequences, ring-indicate (RI) detection, and serial bus (I²C-compatible) interface for EEPROM-based configuration loading. The device uses internal state machines to manage card insertion/removal detection, voltage sensing, and power sequencing per PCMCIA v5.0 requirements.

Pinout & Package
The PCI1410AGGU is housed in a 144-pin GGU (Green Grid Array) package - a fine-pitch, thermally enhanced surface-mount BGA with exposed thermal pad. This package enables high-density PCB layout while meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AD[31:0] | PCI Address/Data Multiplexed Bus | Time-multiplexed 32-bit bidirectional bus carrying address (during AD phase) and data (during DATA phase); requires external latch for address capture. |

| FRAME# | PCI Frame Signal | Active-low signal indicating start and duration of PCI transaction; asserted by initiator to begin bus cycle. |
| IRDY# / TRDY# | PCI Initiator/Target Ready | Handshake pair controlling data transfer timing: IRDY# from PCI1410AGGU (as initiator), TRDY# from target; deassertion inserts wait states. |
| CLK | PCI Clock Input | Single-ended 33 MHz system clock input; synchronous reference for all PCI interface logic and internal state machines. |
| RESET# | PCI Reset Input | Asynchronous active-low reset that clears PCI configuration space, ExCA registers, and internal FIFOs; initiates cold boot sequence. |
| CD1#, CD2# | Card Detect Inputs | Dual active-low inputs monitoring PC Card socket mechanical switches; used to trigger card insertion/removal interrupts and initiate power sequencing. |
| VCC_33, VCC_50 | PCI Core & I/O Supplies | Separate 3.3 V (core logic) and 5.0 V (PCI I/O buffer) power rails; decoupling required per TI SCPS057 layout guidelines. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCI-to-PC Card bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cirrus Logic CL-PCID001 | Single-mode CardBus-only controller; no 16-bit PC Card support; lacks ExCA register compatibility; uses proprietary register map. | Suitable only for new CardBus-only designs; requires full driver rewrite; no legacy PC Card field upgrade path. | Select only when targeting pure 32-bit CardBus systems with no backward compatibility requirement. |
| Intel 82365SL-DF | Legacy ExCA controller; PCI-to-ISA bridge architecture; no native PCI bus mastering; limited power management (no ACPI S3). | Designed for ISA-based systems; requires companion PCI-to-ISA bridge; insufficient for direct PCI slot integration. | Use only in brownfield ISA systems where PCI1410AGGU cannot replace existing 82365SL-DF due to board-level constraints. |
Compared with CL-PCID001 and 82365SL-DF, the PCI1410AGGU uniquely delivers dual-mode (16-bit + CardBus), full ExCA compliance, native PCI mastering, and ACPI S3 support - making it the only single-chip solution for scalable, future-proof PC Card expansion in PCI-based platforms.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCI1410AGGU in a system architecture?
The PCI1410AGGU serves as a standards-compliant PCI-to-PC Card bridge controller, enabling host systems to interface with both legacy 16-bit PC Cards and modern 32-bit CardBus peripherals. It translates PCI transactions into PC Card protocol, manages power sequencing, handles card insertion/removal events, and provides ExCA register compatibility - all within a single integrated device. The PCI1410AGGU eliminates the need for discrete logic or FPGA-based bridging solutions in notebook and embedded platforms.
Does the PCI1410AGGU support both 3.3 V and 5 V PC Cards simultaneously?
Yes, the PCI1410AGGU supports dual-voltage operation: it interfaces with 5 V 16-bit PC Cards and 3.3 V CardBus cards. Voltage selection is controlled via the TPS2211 power-switch interface - the PCI1410AGGU asserts dedicated PWR_EN and PWR_SW signals to configure the external TPS2211 IC for appropriate rail activation and sequencing. The device monitors PWR_STAT to confirm correct card voltage presence before enabling data transfer.
How does the PCI1410AGGU handle power management for mobile applications?
The PCI1410AGGU implements comprehensive power management per PCI PM 1.1 and ACPI 1.0 specifications, supporting D0–D3hot states and S0–S3 system sleep modes. It features dedicated Power Management Capabilities and Control/Status registers, hardware ring-indicate (RI) detection for wake-up, and integrated suspend logic that coordinates with host BIOS and OS drivers. The PCI1410AGGU also supports Clock Run Protocol and CardBus-specific suspend/resume sequences to minimize power consumption during idle periods.
Is the PCI1410AGGU pin-compatible with earlier TI PCI-to-PC Card controllers like the PCI1220A?
No, the PCI1410AGGU is not pin-compatible with the PCI1220A. It uses a 144-pin GGU package, whereas the PCI1220A uses a 208-pin PGE package. Pin assignments, power rail requirements (VCC_33/VCC_50 vs. single VCC), and signal naming differ significantly between generations. Migration requires PCB redesign and firmware updates to leverage the PCI1410AGGU's enhanced ExCA compatibility, distributed DMA, and zoomed-video features.
Can the PCI1410AGGU load configuration from an external EEPROM at startup?
Yes, the PCI1410AGGU includes a dedicated I²C-compatible serial bus interface that automatically reads initialization data from an external EEPROM during power-on reset. This includes values for system control registers, interrupt masks, general-purpose I/O defaults, and power management settings. The Serial Bus Data, Index, and Slave Address registers enable software to reprogram or verify EEPROM contents post-boot, supporting field-upgradable configurations without hardware changes.
