Rev 1.7
04 June 1997
January 1996 PISA Bus has been developed by Giantec Inc. Taiwan in January 1996.
April of 1996 Giantec introduced the Term „ PISA Bus“ for their definition.
Q3/Q4 1996 other Companies join Giantec to push PISA as a BUS of the future.
January 1997 JUMP introduced its first Pentium Board using PISA Bus.

4. Available Products
Giantec PISA 486DX with cache and I/O available since May 96
Backplane with 4 ISA and 4 PCI Slots available since May 96
Pentium Pro CPU with I/O planned for May 97
many other companies planning to introduce products using PISA Bus in Q2 and Q3 of 1997.
- half size Boards available for space critical applications including PCI and ISA
- allows compact backplanes using ISA and PCI, backplanes are about ½ size of PICMG
- allows for 66 MHz PCI Bus because of shorter routing for PCI Bus
- Std ISA Bus CPU can be used in PISA Slot for upgradeability

The PISA Bus power pins are not used to supply power to the I/O Boards. The I/O slots are supplied over
the backplane.
The PISA CPU Board does generate its own 3.3V and CPU voltages as needed, and therefore needs no
3.3V supply pins.
in addition to ISA and PCI Bus signals, the PISA Bus supports a Powergood input signal.
The PISA connector supports a total of 188 pins, 98 are used for ISA Bus signals and 90 for PCI bus
signals.
The PISA CPU supplies all PCI clocks for 4 Bus slots over the PISA connector and all internal Clocks for
onboard devices.
The PISA CPU onboard PCI CLK delay is specified to be 750 ps later than the PCI clocks routed to the
PISA connector. The difference is measured from the PISA connector pad to the onboard device input
pin.
The backplane manufacturer has to route the clocks on the backplane with a delay of 600 ps including the
delay of both (the PISA and the PCI) connectors.
The PISA CPU supplies all PCI and ISA Bus signals, together with some additional signals for better
signal integration.

7.5. Interrupt-Routing
Following interrupt routing on the backplane is recommended for proper bios support:
Backplane Slot PISA INT A PISA INT B PISA INT C PISA INT D
Slot 1 (AD19) INT A INT B INT C INT D
Slot 2 (AD20) INT D INT A INT B INT C
Slot 3 (AD21) INT C INT D INT A INT B
Slot 4 (AD22) INT B INT C INT D INT A
e.g. INT B signal of PCI-Slot 3 (IDSEL AD21) has to be routed to signal INT D of the PISA board
8. Mechanical specification
The PISA Bus Board is designed to allow for small systems and therefore, the Board is made as small as
possible.
The Board should either end with the Bus connector, or if it is longer, it should not cover the area down to
the connector, because this area is reserved for future 64 bit expansion.
