Product details
Overview
PCI8402ZHK from Texas Instruments is a single-socket CardBus controller IC integrating IEEE 1394a-2000 OHCI two-port PHY/link-layer functionality, supporting 33 MHz PCI bus interface, 16-bit CardBus socket control, and integrated LDO voltage regulator. It enables legacy PC Card expansion with FireWire connectivity in industrial docking stations and embedded laptop peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the PCI8402ZHK datasheet, PCI8402ZHK pinout, PCI8402ZHK application, or PCI8402ZHK equivalent, key selection criteria include PCI-to-CardBus bridge timing compliance, OHCI 1394 link-layer register mapping, dual-port 1394 PHY electrical specifications, and ExCA-compatible socket event handling for hot-plug detection.
Technical Context
The PCI8402ZHK implements a PCI-to-CardBus bridge with Function 0 (CardBus subsystem), Function 1 (OHCI 1394 controller), and optional Functions 2–4 (Flash Media, SD Host, Smart Card). It supports PCI revision 2.2, 32-bit/33 MHz operation, and full ExCA 2.5 compatibility for PC Card socket management.
Its integrated 1394a PHY provides two differential 1394 ports with on-chip termination, auto-negotiation, and physical layer loopback test modes. Power management includes PCI D0–D3hot states, CardBus suspend/resume, and SMI-triggered wake events via GPIO-controlled ring indication.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AD[31:0] | PCI Address/Data Multiplexed Bus | Time-multiplexed 32-bit address/data lines; requires external latch (e.g., 74LVC245) for demultiplexing in standard PCI designs. |
| C/BE[3:0]# | PCI Command/Byte Enable | Defines transaction type (I/O read/write, memory read/write) and active byte lanes during data phase. |
| FRAME# | PCI Cycle Initiation | Active-low signal indicating start of PCI transaction; sampled synchronously with PCI clock to initiate bus cycle. |
| IRDY# / TRDY# | PCI Initiator/Target Ready | Handshake signals coordinating data transfer timing; essential for burst-mode transfers to CardBus socket or 1394 registers. |
| CLK | PCI Clock Input | 33 MHz single-ended CMOS input; must be clean, low-jitter source meeting PCI timing skew requirements (±1 ns). |
| PCI_RST# | PCI Reset Input | Asynchronous active-low reset; initializes all PCI configuration registers and disables bus mastering until configuration completes. |
| CBx_VCC | CardBus Socket Power Sense | Analog input monitoring socket VCC (3.3 V or 5 V); used by internal logic to configure I/O voltage thresholds and enable appropriate regulators. |
| PHY_DP0/DM0 PHY_DP1/DM1 |
1394 Differential Pairs | Two fully terminated 1394a differential pairs; require 110 Ω series resistors and proper PCB impedance control (100 Ω diff) for EMI compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CardBus + 1394 controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCI7402ZHK | Single-port 1394a PHY (vs. dual-port in PCI8402ZHK); identical CardBus and PCI interface specs. | Suitable only for single-cable FireWire applications; lacks second PHY for daisy-chain or redundant port configurations. | Select when system requires only one 1394 port and lower power consumption (typ. 15% less than PCI8402ZHK). |
| PCI8412ZHK | Same dual-port 1394a PHY and CardBus architecture, but adds Smart Card controller (Function 4) and enhanced GPIO routing. | Required for systems needing ISO 7816 smart card reader integration alongside FireWire and CardBus; adds 3 additional GPIO pins. | Choose when Smart Card interface is mandatory; otherwise PCI8402ZHK offers lower cost and simpler driver stack. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCI8402ZHK in a PC Card system?
The PCI8402ZHK serves as a multifunction PCI-to-CardBus bridge with integrated IEEE 1394a OHCI dual-port PHY/link-layer controller. It enables host systems to support hot-pluggable PC Cards and FireWire peripherals through a single PCI slot. Its core functions include PCI configuration space management, ExCA-compliant socket control, and 1394 packet framing - all implemented in the PCI8402ZHK silicon without external co-processors.
Does the PCI8402ZHK require an external serial EEPROM for configuration?
Yes, the PCI8402ZHK uses a standard I²C serial EEPROM (typically 24LC02 or equivalent) to store vendor/device IDs, subsystem identifiers, and power management settings. The PCI8402ZHK accesses this EEPROM via its dedicated Serial Bus Interface (SBI) pins during power-on reset to load configuration data into internal registers - a requirement confirmed in Section 3.4.3 and Figure 3–4 of the SCPS110 datasheet.
How does the PCI8402ZHK handle CardBus socket power switching?
The PCI8402ZHK integrates logic to drive external power switches (e.g., TI TPS2051B) via its PSW0/PSW1 control outputs. It monitors CBx_VCC to detect socket voltage level (3.3 V or 5 V), asserts appropriate power-enable signals, and coordinates sequencing with CardBus reset assertion. This behavior is defined in Section 2.1.7 and Section 3.5.5 of the PCI8402ZHK datasheet SCPS110.
What are the clocking requirements for the PCI8402ZHK's 1394 PHY?
The PCI8402ZHK's dual 1394a PHY requires a 24.576 MHz crystal oscillator connected to the X1/X2 pins, as specified in Section 3.9.2 of SCPS110. This frequency is used to derive the 49.152 MHz reference for 1394 PHY operation and must meet ±50 ppm stability over temperature. No internal PLL is used - the crystal directly drives the PHY timing block.
Is the PCI8402ZHK compatible with modern operating systems like Windows 10 or Linux kernel 5.x?
The PCI8402ZHK relies on legacy CardBus and OHCI 1394 drivers. While Windows 10 retains basic OHCI 1394 stack support (via LegacyFireWire.sys), native CardBus socket enumeration is deprecated; Linux kernel 5.x maintains OHCI 1394 modules (firewire-ohci) but requires manual ExCA socket driver backports. Full functionality of PCI8402ZHK depends on validated driver packages provided by TI or third-party BSP vendors - not generic OS support.
