Introduction

CH367 is a universal interface chip that connects to PCI-Express bus, supports I/O port mapping, extended ROM and interrupts. CH367 converts high-speed PCIE bus into an easy-to-use 8-bit active parallel interface which similar to ISA bus. It can be used for making low-cost PCIE bus-based computer cards, and upgrade to PCIE card from ISA or PCI bus based. Compared with other popular bus, PCIE is faster, real-time, better on control, so CH367 is suitable for high-speed real-time I/O control card, communication interface card, data acquisition card and so on. The figure below shows is application block diagram.
