Product details
Overview
PCI6411GHK from Texas Instruments is a single-socket UltraMedia PC Card and flash media controller supporting SD, MMC, Memory Stick/PRO, SmartMedia, and xD interfaces; operates with 1.5-V core logic and 3.3-V I/O; compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.3 and PC Card Standard 8.1; used in legacy notebook expansion slots for removable storage and peripheral attachment.
For engineers reviewing the PCI6411GHK datasheet, PCI6411GHK pinout, PCI6411GHK application, or PCI6411GHK equivalent, key selection considerations include PCI-to-CardBus bridge functionality, Smart Card socket omission versus PCI6611, 288-pin BGA Microstar package compatibility, and support for serialized IRQ and PCI power states D0–D3.
Technical Context
The PCI6411GHK implements a PCI-to-CardBus bridge with dedicated flash media interface logic but excludes Smart Card controller circuitry present in the PCI6611/PCI6621 family members. It maps ExCA-compatible registers into memory or I/O space and supports subtractive decoding, VGA/palette memory access, and LED activity terminals.
It integrates PCI Bus Power Management Interface and ACPI 2.0 compliance, enabling suspend/resume via SUSPEND and CLKRUN protocols. The device uses advanced submicron CMOS technology and includes automatic device power-down during suspend to reduce battery consumption in mobile platforms.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCI-to-CardBus bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCI6611GHK | Includes integrated Smart Card controller; otherwise identical pinout and flash media support | Required where ISO 7816-compliant smart card readers are needed alongside CardBus/flash | Select PCI6611GHK only if Smart Card socket functionality is mandatory |
| PCI6421ZHK | Dual-socket variant with identical flash media interface and same 288-pin BGA ZHK package | Used when two independent CardBus sockets must be supported on one controller | Choose PCI6421ZHK for dual-slot expansion; PCI6411GHK remains optimal for cost-sensitive single-socket designs |
Compared with PCI6611GHK and PCI6421ZHK, the PCI6411GHK provides minimal feature set for single-socket applications-omitting Smart Card logic reduces gate count and power, while retaining full flash media compatibility and PCI power management essential for battery-powered notebooks.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCI6411GHK?
The PCI6411GHK is a single-socket UltraMedia PC Card and flash media controller that bridges PCI bus signals to CardBus peripherals and directly interfaces with SD, MMC, Memory Stick/PRO, SmartMedia, and xD cards. It does not include Smart Card controller logic, distinguishing it from the PCI6611GHK. Its design targets legacy mobile computing platforms requiring compact, low-power expansion capability.
Is the PCI6411GHK still in production?
No - the PCI6411GHK is marked OBSOLETE by Texas Instruments per its official packaging information. TI discontinued production, and no new manufacturing lots are planned. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports continuity programs for customers with active production using this device.
What package type does the PCI6411GHK use?
The PCI6411GHK uses a 288-pin BGA package with Microstar footprint and GHK drawing designation. It measures 27 mm × 27 mm with 1.0-mm ball pitch and features RoHS-exempt lead finish due to flip-chip solder bump construction. This package is mechanically and electrically compatible with PCI6611GHK and PCI6421ZHK variants.
Does the PCI6411GHK support Smart Card interfaces?
No - the PCI6411GHK explicitly omits Smart Card controller circuitry. Unlike the PCI6611GHK and PCI6621GHK, which integrate ISO 7816-compliant Smart Card logic, the PCI6411GHK supports only PC Card/CardBus and flash media functions. Smart Card functionality requires substitution with PCI6611GHK or external controller augmentation.
What power management features does the PCI6411GHK provide?
The PCI6411GHK supports full PCI power states D0 through D3, including automatic device power-down during suspend mode. It complies with ACPI 2.0 and implements SUSPEND/CLKRUN protocols, enabling OS-directed energy conservation in battery-powered notebooks. Its 1.5-V core logic with internal regulator further optimizes active-mode power efficiency.
