Product details
Overview
PCI2050BZHK from Texas Instruments is a PCI-to-PCI bridge IC enabling hierarchical expansion of 32-bit, 66-MHz PCI buses with dual independent 3.3-V/5-V tolerant interfaces, internal two-tier arbitration for up to nine secondary bus masters, and CompactPCI hot-swap support - deployed in industrial control backplanes and multifunction CPCI cards.
For engineers reviewing the PCI2050BZHK datasheet, PCI2050BZHK pinout, PCI2050BZHK application, or PCI2050BZHK equivalent, key selection criteria include 257-pin RoHS-compliant MicroStar BGA package compatibility, 66-MHz timing compliance per PCI Local Bus Spec Rev 2.2, write combining capability, and secondary clock output count (10) for multi-slot timing distribution.
Technical Context
The PCI2050BZHK implements a transparent bridge architecture compliant with PCI-to-PCI Bridge Specification Rev 1.1, supporting Type 0 and Type 1 configuration cycles, burst-mode transfers with pipeline buffering, and frame-to-frame latency of only four PCI clocks between primary and secondary buses.
It features dedicated hardware for PCI power management (PMCSR support), JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), and configurable GPIOs for hot-swap signaling (HSENUM, HSLED, HSSWITCH), with secondary bus reset assertion and VGA/I/O decoding options enabled via configuration registers.

Applications
| Industrial Backplane Expansion | CompactPCI Hot-Swap Card |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding a single PCI host slot into multiple downstream slots in an industrial automation chassis with strict EMI and thermal constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transparent PCI-to-PCI bridge providing electrical isolation, bus segmentation, and clock fanout to nine secondary devices. Use Value: Enables hierarchical bus topology while staying within PCI electrical loading limits (≤10 loads/bus), eliminating signal integrity degradation across long backplane traces. | Use Scenario: Building a multifunction CompactPCI card that supports field-replaceable modules without powering down the system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hot-swap controller and bridge, managing insertion/removal sequencing and distributing synchronized clocks to all slots. Use Value: Provides native HSENUM/HSLED signaling and 10 secondary clock outputs, eliminating need for discrete hot-swap ASICs or clock buffers. |
| Legacy System Upgrade | PCI Bus Isolation |
Use Scenario: Integrating modern 66-MHz PCI peripherals into an existing 33-MHz host system without redesigning the motherboard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Frequency-transparent bridge translating timing and protocol between mismatched bus speeds. Use Value: Supports independent 33/66-MHz operation on each side via P_M66ENA/S_M66ENA controls, preserving legacy timing while enabling high-speed peripherals. | Use Scenario: Isolating noise-sensitive measurement circuitry from high-traffic data acquisition bus segments in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Protocol-conforming bridge enforcing transaction boundaries and preventing bus lock propagation. Use Value: Implements bus locking propagation control and predictable latency per PCI Local Bus Spec, ensuring deterministic response times for time-critical subsystems. |
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 electrical and functional specification; non-RoHS 257-pin MicroStar BGA package | Same use cases, but not suitable for RoHS-compliant production or EU markets | Select PCI2050BZHK when lead-free compliance is required; otherwise, GHK offers identical performance at potentially lower cost. |
| PCI2040BPDV | Single 208-pin QFP package; supports only one 66-MHz PCI bus (primary); secondary bus limited to 33 MHz | Lower-cost, space-constrained designs where full 66-MHz secondary operation is unnecessary | Choose PCI2040BPDV only if secondary bus speed ≤33 MHz suffices and QFP assembly is preferred over BGA. |
Compared with PCI2050BGHK, the PCI2050BZHK adds RoHS compliance without performance trade-offs; versus PCI2040BPDV, it delivers full dual-66-MHz capability and 10-clock fanout - critical for high-bandwidth, multi-slot CompactPCI systems requiring deterministic timing and regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCI2050BZHK in a PCI-based system?
The PCI2050BZHK serves as a transparent PCI-to-PCI bridge that electrically and logically isolates two 32-bit PCI buses while enabling concurrent burst-mode transactions between them. It allows system designers to exceed the PCI specification's 10-device electrical loading limit by creating hierarchical bus structures - essential for industrial backplanes and CompactPCI systems. The PCI2050BZHK maintains full PCI Local Bus Spec Rev 2.2 and PCI-to-PCI Bridge Spec Rev 1.1 compliance.
Does the PCI2050BZHK support both 33-MHz and 66-MHz operation on both buses simultaneously?
Yes, the PCI2050BZHK supports independent 33-MHz or 66-MHz operation on both primary and secondary buses. Each bus uses its own M66ENA control signal (P_M66ENA and S_M66ENA) to configure timing mode. This flexibility allows integration into mixed-speed systems - for example, connecting a legacy 33-MHz host to modern 66-MHz peripherals - without protocol translation or performance bottlenecks.
How does the PCI2050BZHK implement CompactPCI hot-swap functionality?
The PCI2050BZHK integrates native CompactPCI hot-swap support per PICMG Spec Rev 1.0, featuring dedicated pins (HSENUM, HSLED, HSSWITCH/GPIO3) and internal logic to manage insertion/removal sequencing, status reporting, and fault detection. It drives the secondary bus low during reset and provides precise timing control for hot-swap controllers - eliminating the need for external hot-swap ASICs in multifunction CPCI cards built around the PCI2050BZHK.
What package type and RoHS status does the PCI2050BZHK use?
The PCI2050BZHK is supplied in a 257-terminal RoHS-compliant MicroStar BGA™ package (ZHK variant), with 1.0-mm ball pitch and 17 × 17 array. It is mechanically and electrically identical to the non-RoHS PCI2050BGHK, differing only in lead-free solder composition and associated process controls - making it suitable for environmentally regulated markets without design or layout changes.
Can the PCI2050BZHK be used in temperature ranges beyond commercial grade (0°C to 70°C)?
No - the PCI2050BZHK is specified only for 0°C to 70°C operation. For extended temperature applications (−40°C to 85°C), Texas Instruments offers the pin-compatible PCI2050BIZHK variant, which shares the same RoHS-compliant 257-ball MicroStar BGA package but is qualified across the industrial temperature range. Designers requiring wider thermal margins must select PCI2050BIZHK instead of PCI2050BZHK.
