PCI System Architecture is a detailed and comprehensive guide to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus Specification, Intels technology for fast communication between peripheral devices and the computer processor. This new edition has been thoroughly updated, reorganized, and expanded to cover the PCI Local Bus Specification version 2.2 and other recent developments, including the new PCI Hot-Plug Specification, changes to the PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, revisions to the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification, and the new features of the PCI BIOS Specification. This book provides clear and concise explanations of the relationship of PCI to the rest of the system and PCI fundamentals, including commands, read and write transfers, memory and I/O addressing, error handling, interrupts, and configuration transactions and registers. In addition, you will find specific information on such key topics as: *Hot-Plug Specification *Power management *CompactPCI *The 64-bit PCI Extension *66 MHz PCI Implementation *Expansion ROMs *PCI-to-PCI Bridge and the PCI BIOS *Add-in cards and connectors *Bus arbitration *Reflected-wave switching *Early transaction e

An invaluable tool and reference on ISA architecture and time reading it is time well spent. You might just end up wondering how you ever got along without it! -David Greenberg, Dell Computer Corporation ISA System Architecture describes the hardware architecture of ISA (Industry Standard Architecture), providing a clear, concise explanation of an ISA system in detail. The authors provide a comprehensive treatment of the bus including: bus cycles addressing I/O RAM, ROM, and cache memory cache architectures decode and reset logic interrupts system kernel bus mastering DMA RTC and configuration RAM If you design or test hardware or software that involves ISA, ISA System Architecture is an essential, time-saving tool. The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title explains from a programmers perspective the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using one particular type of chip or hardware specification.

Designed as a companion volume to the official hardware design guide for Windows 95, Plug and Play System Architecture provides a detailed hardware and software description of the Plug and Play technology that is integrated into Windows 95 and will soon appear in other operating systems, including Windows NT. In addition to coverage of ISA and EISA Plug and Play, PCMCIA and PCI are also discussed.

Universal Serial Bus System Architecture provides an in-depth discussion of USB and is based on the 1.0 version of the Universal Serial Bus specification. It focuses on the USB protocol, signaling environment, and electrical specifications, along with the hardware/software interaction required to configure and access USB devices. Although this book does not focus on writing USB device drivers, it does contain useful background information that aids in understanding the USB software environment. Key topics include: differential signaling environment, device configuration, suspend/resume operations device descriptors, device requests (commands), transfer mechanisms USB transaction protocols, bus-powered devices, self-powered devices host controller designs (UHC and OHC), error detection and handling device class definitions. The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title is designed to illustrate the relationship between the software and hardware and explains thoroughly the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using one particular type of chip or hardware specification.

“In this monumental new book, Tom Shanley pulls together 15 years of history of Intel’s mainline microprocessors, the most popular and important computer architecture in history. Shanley has a keen eye for the salient facts, and an outstanding sense for how to organize and display the material for easy accessibility by the reader. If you want to know what does this bit control, what does that feature do, and how did those instructions evolve through several generations of x86, this is the reference book for you. This is the book Intel should have written, but now they don’t have to.” —Bob Colwell, Intel Fellow The Unabridged Pentium 4 offers unparalleled coverage of Intel’s IA32 family of processors, from the 386 through the Pentium 4 and Pentium M processors. Unlike other texts, which address solely a hardware or software audience, this book serves as a comprehensive technical reference for both audiences. Inside, Tom Shanley covers not only the hardware design and software enhancements of Intel’s latest processors, he also explains the relationship between these hardware and software characteristics. As a result, readers will come away with a complete understanding of the processor’s internal architecture, the Front Side Bus (FSB), the processor’s relationship to the system, and the processor’s software architecture. Essential topics covered include: <ul>
<li>Goals of single-task and multi-task operating systems</li> <li>The 386 processor—the baseline ancestor of the IA32 processor family</li> <li>The 486 processor, including a cache primer </li> <li>The Pentium processor</li> <li>The P6 roadmap, P6 processor core, and P6 FSB</li> <li>The Pentium Pro processor, including the Microcode Update feature</li> <li>The Pentium II and the Pentium II Xeon and Celeron processors</li> <li>The Pentium III and the Pentium III Xeon and Celeron processors</li> <li>The Pentium 4 processor family</li> <li>The Pentium M processor</li> <li>Processor identification, System Management Mode, and the IO and Local APICs</li> </ul>
An “at-a-glance” table of contents allows readers to quickly find topics ranging from 386 Demand Mode Paging to Pentium 4 CPU Arbitration. The accompanying CD-ROM contains 16 extra chapters. Whether you design software or hardware or are responsible for system maintenance or customer support, The Unabridged Pentium 4 will prove an invaluable reference to the world’s most widely used microprocessor chips. MindShare’s PC System Architecture series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Books in the series are intended for use by hardware and software designers, programmers, and support personnel. One of the leading technical training companies in the hardware industry, MindShare, Inc., provides innovative courses for dozens of companies, including HP, AMD, IBM, and Compaq. Through these classes and by writing the highly regarded PC System Architecture Series for Addison-Wesley, MindShare trainers emphasize the relationships of hardware subsystems to each other as well as the relationship between software and hardware.
