Product details
Overview
PCI1510GGU from Texas Instruments is a single-slot PCI-to-CardBus bridge controller in 144-pin LQFP (GGU) package, designed for notebook and desktop systems requiring hot-pluggable PC Card support. It supports both 16-bit PC Cards (5 V/3.3 V) and 32-bit CardBus cards (33 MHz, 32-bit data), implements full PCI bus mastering during bridging, and integrates ExCA register compatibility with Intel 82365SL-DF/SL controllers.
For engineers reviewing the PCI1510GGU datasheet, PCI1510GGU pinout, PCI1510GGU application, or PCI1510GGU equivalent, key selection criteria include CardBus socket register mapping, PCI power management compliance (PCI Bus Power Management Interface Spec rev. 1.1), hot-swap signal buffering, and ExCA register-level software compatibility with legacy PCMCIA drivers.
Technical Context
The PCI1510GGU implements a pipelined, buffered data path enabling sustained 32-bit PCI burst transfers to CardBus devices while maintaining full 8-/16-/32-bit card access via native PCI cycles. Its internal buffering eliminates need for external hot-swap transceivers on all card signals.
It provides dual interrupt routing-parallel PCI/ISA and serialized IRQSER-alongside SMI support and full ACPI 1.0 compatibility. Power management includes integrated LDO-VR, Clock Run protocol, suspend mode with RI_OUT ring-indicate signaling, and PCI PME-capable control/status registers.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCI1510GGU in a system architecture?
The PCI1510GGU serves as a PCI-to-CardBus bridge controller, enabling host systems with a PCI bus to interface with hot-pluggable 16-bit PC Cards and 32-bit CardBus peripherals. It handles protocol translation, voltage domain isolation, power sequencing, and ExCA register mapping - all within a single 144-pin LQFP package. The PCI1510GGU performs full PCI bus mastering during CardBus transactions, eliminating need for external arbitration logic.
Does the PCI1510GGU support both 3.3 V and 5 V PC Cards?
Yes, the PCI1510GGU supports both 3.3 V and 5 V PC Cards through dedicated voltage sense inputs (CB_VS1#, CB_VS2#) that auto-detect card voltage class and configure internal I/O buffers accordingly. Its power control outputs (e.g., CB_PWRON#) drive external switches like the TPS2211A to deliver appropriate card supply voltages, ensuring safe insertion and removal under mixed-voltage conditions.
Is the PCI1510GGU pin-compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF controller?
No, the PCI1510GGU is not pin-compatible with the Intel 82365SL-DF. While it is register-compatible with the 82365SL-DF and 82365SL for ExCA software drivers, its physical pinout differs significantly due to integrated PCI interface, LDO-VR, and enhanced power management circuitry. The PCI1510GGU uses a 144-pin LQFP (GGU) package, whereas the 82365SL-DF uses a 128-pin PQFP package with distinct signal allocation.
What power management features does the PCI1510GGU implement?
The PCI1510GGU implements comprehensive power management including PCI Bus Power Management Interface Spec rev. 1.1 compliance, ACPI 1.0 support, Clock Run protocol, suspend mode with RI_OUT ring-indicate signaling, and an integrated low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO-VR) for 2.5 V core supply. Its Power-Management Control/Status Register (PMCSR) enables D0–D3 state transitions and wake-on-card-insert via PCI PME events.
Can the PCI1510GGU be used in desktop systems, or is it limited to notebooks?
The PCI1510GGU is suitable for both notebook and desktop systems. Its design targets portable computing but imposes no architectural restrictions on platform type. Desktop applications include PCI-based docking stations, industrial I/O chassis, and legacy expansion cards where hot-pluggable CardBus support is required. The PCI1510GGU's ExCA compatibility ensures driver reuse across platforms, and its LQFP package simplifies layout in space-constrained add-in cards.
