PCI buss length

Oct 20, 2007 2 Replies

Quick question.



What is the maximum length of a PCI buss? I have a 1U mother board but the PCI slot is in the wrong place and I need to extend it.



Reference links ok.



Cheers


extend it.

Just check out some motherboards. I've seen PCI buses extend over several inches (from chipset to the connectors). The bus loading is way more critical.

extend it.

I know Tprop must not exceed 10ns @ 33mhz. But how much loading is acceptable, with a extender that uses ribbon cables. This tends to become an empirical thing, because modeling it would be fairly difficult.

Cheers
