PCI interface using uC

Hi,

I need to design a PCI interface card using microcontroller. Is that possible? Or I should go for microprocessor.

Thanks

  • I take it that you want to produce a PCI card for putting into the PC?

    If so, what is the card expected to do? That affects how much power the processor on the board needs.

    You will normally not find any microprocessor with any PCI interface for use on a PCI board, so you will need a PCI bus chip.

    On the other hand: There are processors available with the host side of a PCI interface, i.e. intended for use with PCI equipment.
