Overview
JMB368 is a single chip, 1-lane PCI Express to 1-port PATA Host Controller. It is designed to
provide better PATA extension and compatibility, especially for chipsets without PATA. For these
chipsets with only one PATA interface, JMB368 also provides a feature-up for Legacy IDE device
supporting. It features PCI Express bus interface to lower pin count as possible.
JMB368 supports PCI Express trace length can be up to 12” (30.48cm). Although the maximum
length is up to 12 inch, the trace length is as short as possible on real application. JMB368 supports
PATA trace can be up to 10” (25.4cm). Although the maximum length is up to 10 inch, the trace length
is as short as possible on real application.
PATA of JMB368 supports up to UDMA6. Serial damping resistors are necessary to keep UDMA
performance. Please reference JMB368 Application Schematic in detail. Also, place these serial
resistors within 0.5 inch of Host IDE Connector sid
