The present invention comprises a multiple bus master PCI (peripheral component interconnect) bus system within an integrated circuit. The system of the present includes an integrated circuit fabricated onto a single semiconductor die. An internal PCI bus is built into the integrated circuit. The internal PCI bus is adapted to transmit and convey data signals. A plurality of PCI agents are built into the integrated circuit. Each of the plurality of PCI agents are designed to perform a respective function and each of the plurality of PCI agents are coupled to the internal PCI bus to transmit and receive data. The internal PCI bus and the plurality of PCI agents are built into the integrated circuit on the single semiconductor die to create a high performance device.
