Abstract
The present invention discloses a PCI extended function interface and PCI device using such an interface. The PCI extended function interface is suitable for use in a PCI device comprising a master device and at least one slave device. The PCI extended function interface comprises at least one connecting port and a first circuit. The slave device is coupled to a corresponding connecting port and the PCI extended function interface transmits a control signal through the connecting port to control the operation of a corresponding slave device. The first circuit is used to determine the configuration space.
