Product details
Overview
PCI2050BIGHK from Texas Instruments is a PCI-to-PCI bridge IC enabling high-performance interconnection between two 32-bit, 66-MHz PCI buses. It supports concurrent bidirectional burst transfers, write combining, and internal two-tier arbitration for up to nine secondary bus masters. Its −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range and 257-terminal MicroStar BGA package make it suitable for rugged embedded systems requiring hot-swap-capable CompactPCI expansion.
For engineers reviewing the PCI2050BIGHK datasheet, PCI2050BIGHK pinout, PCI2050BIGHK application, or PCI2050BIGHK equivalent, key selection criteria include 66-MHz dual-bus timing compliance, CompactPCI hot-swap support, JTAG boundary-scan testability, and industrial-grade thermal operation with universal 3.3-V/5-V tolerant I/Os.
Technical Context
The PCI2050BIGHK implements a fully compliant PCI-to-PCI Bridge Specification Revision 1.1 architecture with independent read/write buffers and pipeline forwarding. It supports Type 0 and Type 1 configuration cycles, frame-to-frame latency of only four PCI clocks, and programmable decode options for VGA/palette memory and I/O address spaces.
Its power management conforms to PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification Revision 1.1, supporting D0–D3 states with predictable latency behavior. Secondary bus arbitration includes both internal two-tier logic and external arbiter interface capability, while CompactPCI hot-swap functionality is enabled via dedicated HSLED, HSENUM, and HSSWITCH/GPIO3 signals.

Applications
| Industrial CompactPCI Systems | Multi-Slot Embedded Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Ruggedized industrial control chassis with hot-swappable I/O modules requiring electrical isolation between slots. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PCI-to-PCI bridge providing hierarchical bus segmentation, load isolation, and hot-swap coordination. Use Value: Enables >10-device PCI topologies while maintaining signal integrity and supporting field-replaceable module maintenance without system shutdown. | Use Scenario: High-density embedded controller with multiple PCI mezzanine cards (e.g., motion control, vision capture, communication). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Interconnect bridge managing concurrent DMA traffic between CPU host and peripheral cards across separate PCI domains. Use Value: Delivers predictable sub-4-clock latency and burst-mode throughput to sustain real-time data acquisition and deterministic control loops. |
| Medical Imaging Subsystems | Test & Measurement Equipment |
Use Scenario: Modular MRI or CT scanner backplane where imaging processors and sensor interfaces require isolated, high-bandwidth PCI interconnect. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bridge enforcing strict timing boundaries between safety-critical and non-critical subsystems. Use Value: Supports 66-MHz operation and write combining to handle high-volume pixel data streaming without bus contention or timeout errors. | Use Scenario: Automated test equipment with mixed-vendor PCI instruments requiring electrical loading mitigation and synchronized trigger distribution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hierarchical bus manager providing clock fanout (S_CLKOUT[0:9]), configuration space isolation, and delayed transaction buffering. Use Value: Ten secondary clock outputs ensure phase-aligned timing across instruments; internal arbitration prevents resource starvation during multi-instrument parallel testing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCI-to-PCI bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCI2050BGHK | Identical functionality and pinout; rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range | Suitable for non-industrial environments where extended thermal operation is not required | Select PCI2050BGHK when ambient operating conditions remain within commercial temperature limits and cost sensitivity favors standard-grade parts |
| PLX Technology PCI9052 | PCI-to-Local Bus bridge (not PCI-to-PCI); lacks secondary bus arbitration, clock fanout, and CompactPCI hot-swap logic | Designed for host-to-peripheral interfacing rather than bus hierarchy expansion | Choose PCI9052 only for simple add-in card designs needing local bus peripherals-not for multi-slot, hot-swap, or bus-isolation use cases |
Compared with PCI2050BGHK, the PCI2050BIGHK provides guaranteed operation over −40°C to +85°C without derating, making it essential for outdoor, automotive under-hood, or factory-floor deployments; versus PCI9052, it delivers true dual-PCI-domain bridging with integrated arbitration and hot-swap infrastructure-neither of which is present in local bus bridge architectures.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the PCI2050BIGHK?
The PCI2050BIGHK is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This extended range distinguishes it from the commercial-grade PCI2050BGHK (0°C to +70°C) and ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation, transportation systems, and outdoor infrastructure where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely. The device maintains full PCI 66-MHz timing compliance across this entire range.
Does the PCI2050BIGHK support 66-MHz operation on both PCI buses?
Yes, the PCI2050BIGHK supports simultaneous 66-MHz operation on both primary and secondary PCI buses, as confirmed in Section 1.1 Features and Section 6.4 AC parameters of the SCPS076G datasheet. It meets all timing requirements for 66-MHz PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2, including setup/hold margins and clock-to-output delays. The device uses advanced submicron CMOS to sustain this performance without thermal throttling.
How does the PCI2050BIGHK implement CompactPCI hot-swap functionality?
The PCI2050BIGHK implements CompactPCI hot-swap via dedicated hardware signals - HSENUM (hot-swap enumeration), HSLED (hot-swap status LED control), and HSSWITCH/GPIO3 (insertion detection switch input) - along with corresponding registers in the Hot-Swap Control Status Register (Section 5.18). These features comply with PICMG CompactPCI Hot-Swap Specification Revision 1.0 and enable safe, software-coordinated card insertion and removal without disrupting other system components.
What package type and pin count does the PCI2050BIGHK use?
The PCI2050BIGHK uses a 257-terminal MicroStar BGA package with GHK footprint, as specified in Section 1.4 Ordering Information and Figure 2−1 of the SCPS076G datasheet. This package is mechanically and electrically identical to the PCI2050BGHK variant but qualified for −40°C to +85°C operation. Pin assignments match Table 2−3 (GHK/ZHK Signal Names Sorted Alphabetically) and support full PCI signaling, JTAG, hot-swap, and power management functions.
Is the PCI2050BIGHK compatible with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2?
Yes, the PCI2050BIGHK is fully compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2, as explicitly stated in Section 1.1 Features and Section 1 Introduction of the SCPS076G datasheet. It supports all mandatory commands (Memory Read/Write, I/O Read/Write, Configuration Read/Write), Type 0/Type 1 configuration cycles, parity reporting, error handling (SERR, PERR), and bus locking propagation - ensuring interoperability with standard PCI hosts and endpoints across diverse system configurations.
