PCI6412ZHK datasheet by Texas Instruments

PCI6412ZHK Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for the PCI6412ZHK?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the PCI6412ZHK is -40°C to 85°C, as specified in the datasheet. However, it's essential to note that the device can operate at temperatures beyond this range, but with reduced performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure reliable communication between the PCI6412ZHK and the host system?
  To ensure reliable communication, it's crucial to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use proper signal termination, and implement error detection and correction mechanisms in the firmware. Additionally, ensure that the clock signals are properly synchronized and that the bus is not overloaded.
• What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by the PCI6412ZHK?
  The PCI6412ZHK supports a maximum data transfer rate of 132 MB/s, as specified in the datasheet. However, the actual data transfer rate may be limited by the host system, bus loading, and other factors.
• Can I use the PCI6412ZHK in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the PCI6412ZHK is compatible with 3.3V systems. The device has a 3.3V tolerant input, and the output voltage can be set to 3.3V using the VCCIO pin. However, ensure that the input signals are within the recommended voltage range to prevent damage to the device.
• How do I handle interrupts generated by the PCI6412ZHK?
  The PCI6412ZHK generates interrupts on the INTA# pin when a transaction is completed or an error occurs. To handle interrupts, the host system should implement an interrupt service routine (ISR) to service the interrupt and clear the interrupt flag. The ISR should also handle any error conditions and take appropriate action.
