Alliance Semiconductor's HyperTransport-to-PCI-X Bridge Recognized by eeProductCenter as one of the Top 10 Logic Products of First Quarter of 2004.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Alliance Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq:ALSC ALSC Association for Library Service to Children ALSC Adirondack Lakes Survey Corporation ALSC Afloat Logistics and Sealift Capability ALSC American Lumber Standards Committee, Inc. ALSC Advanced Logistics Systems Center (AFMC) ), a worldwide provider of analog and mixed signal products, high-performance memory products, connectivity and networking solutions for the communications, computing, embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. , industrial and consumer markets, received recognition as one of "The Best New Products" in EE Times' eeProductCenter Ultimate Products for its HyperTransport-to-PCI-X Bridge (the AS90L10204). The AS90L10204 was selected by the publication's engineering readership as one of the top 10 Logic and Programmable Logic See PLD. products introduced during the first quarter of 2004. Alliance's AS90L10204, works with AMD's Opteron(TM) and Athlon(TM) families of X86-microprocessors, as well as with Transmeta's Efficeon(TM) microprocessor. The AS90L10204, microprocessor and a south bridge, create a three-piece chipset that bridges the HyperTransport interface from the Opteron, Athlon or Efficeon microprocessors to the PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. bus. This enables system manufacturers to tap into the vast infrastructure of peripherals and system components based on PCI-X, such as Network Interface Cards (NICs), RAID Controllers, Host Bus Adaptors (HBA (Host Bus Adapter) See host adapter. ) and others. "This recognition is another validation of our revolutionary technology," said Robert Napaa, vice president of marketing for Alliance's System Solutions and Memory Business Units. "The AS90L10204 HyperTransport-to-PCI-X Bridge expands the possibilities of today's PC and server system architectures by providing new design options based on the HyperTransport technology." The AS90L10204 supports two 8-bit HyperTransport interfaces that provide 1.6 GB per second of bandwidth in each direction and a single 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X bus which enables the connectivity to a variety of PCI-X based peripherals and add-on cards.
