Introduction
Overview
This document provides information for users of the PCI334A Universal I/O 32-bit PCI Quad
Serial Communications Controller.
Note: Performance Technologies, Inc. has a similar product with a very similar model name,
the PCI344. Ensure that you are using the correct manual for the applicable product.
This manual is not intended as a stand-alone document. If you plan on writing software for this
product the references cited in the “Required Additional Documents,” on page 20 are
necessary to have a complete understanding of all the features and functions of the hardware.
This manual does provide the information necessary to understand the operation and features
of the board. A prime objective was to answer those questions raised by system developers as
to whether the PCI334A will complement their architecture. When combined with the required
documentation listed below, a complete description of PCI334A facilities are presented.
Topics covered in this chapter include:
•“PCI334A Models and Accessories,” on page 16
•“Product Summary,” on page 17
•“Programming Differences,” on page 18
•“PCI334A Features,” on page 19

Product Summary
The PCI334A PCI Quad Communications Controller (shown in Figure 2-1, “PCI334A Side View
Photograph,” on page 18) is a design update to the PCI334A, required due to components
obsolescence. As part of this update, certain characteristics of the PCI334A are revised or
enhanced. Maintaining software compatibility at the user level is the prime objective. Table 2-2,
“PCI334A to PCI334 Product Comparison,” summarizes the differences between the old and
new designs.

Programming Differences
Some modifications are necessary to the QUICC register values for proper operation of the
PCI334A with the SRAM instead of the DRAM SIMM on the PCI334. These disable the DRAM
controller and enable the SRAM controller. The registers are:
• Global Memory Register
• Base Register 1
• Option Register 1
• Base Register 2
• Option Register 2
Further description of the changes can be found in Appendix B, “Register Value Changes for
SRAM,” on page 77.
In addition, the PCI Device ID has been changed to 0x334a. This is in one of the PCI9056
Configuration Registers. A new register field has been added, the Software ID. It is in the
PROM Write Enable Register (one of the local registers). Its value is 6 (decimal).
