PRODUCT/PROCESS CHANGE NOTIFICATION (PCN) PCN #: A060102-1 Product Affected: PCI 9054-AB50PI Date: June 1st, 2002 MEANS OF DISTINGUISHING CHANGED DEVICES The PCI 9054 revision AB devices are marked as: ♦ PCI 9054-AB50PI (176-pin PQFP) ♦ PCI 9054-AB50BI (225-ball PBGA) Manufacturing Location Affected: Date Effective: June 1st, 2002 The PCI 9054 revision AC devices are marked as: ♦ PCI 9054-AC50PI (176-pin PQFP) ♦ PCI 9054-AC50BI (225-ball PBGA) Contact: Edward Ng Title: Quality Engineering Manager Phone: (408) 962-3401 Fax #: (408) 962-6866 E-mail: [email protected] Additional Data: PCI 9054 AC Conversion Letter Samples: Contact your local PLX Sales Representative DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF CHANGE: PLX has implemented a metal mask change to the PCI 9054 device. The changes involve adding several gates to fix errata present in the PCI 9054 revision AB silicon. The PCI 9054 revision AC is pin and function compatible with the PCI 9054 revision AB. When operated in M-Mode, the errata fixes affected the AC timing characteristics of a subset of the local bus signals, which may affect a small number of designs. Technical details are available in the PCI 9054 AB to AC Conversion Document available on the PLX Technology web site. To aid our customers in the transition from revision AB to revision AC, PLX Technology will continue to accept orders for the PCI 9054-AB50PI (PQFP packaged device) through April 1, 2003. Last time buy orders must be placed no later than April 1, 2003 for delivery scheduled no later than October 1, 2003. A transition date has not been established for the PCI 9054-AB50BI (BGA packaged device) at this time. PLX will notify customers if, and when, they should begin to qualify the AC revision (BGA packaged device) for existing designs.
