Overview
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is a widely accepted bus standard that is used in many applications including telecommunications, embedded systems, high performance peripheral cards, and networking.
Lattice's PCI IP core provides an ideal solution that meets the needs of today's high performance PCI applications. It is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, revision 2.2 for speeds up to 66MHz. The PCI core provides a customizable 32/64-bit master/target or target solution. The core bridges the gap between the PCI interface and a specific design application, providing an integrated PCI solution. The PCI solution allows designers to focus on the application rather than on the PCI specification, resulting in a faster time-to-market.
The Lattice PCI offering is available in a number of configurations covering 32-bit PCI, 64-bit PCI, 32-bit local bus, 64-bit local bus, master/target and target applications. In this document, details of 64-bit operation and master operation only apply when relevant. The appendix to the user's guide shows what cores are available on which devices.

PCI Express (PCIe) is an important standard for chip-to-chip communications and serves as a standard for connecting motherboards to peripheral cards. It can be challenging, however, to implement the reference clock so that it meets the various requirements of the PCIe standard.
