Features
High Performance PCI Express Switch
– Three x4 ports with 12 PCI Express lanes total
– Delivers 6 GBps (48 Gbps) aggregate switching capacity
– Low latency cut-through switch architecture
– Supports 128 to 2048 byte maximum payload size
– Supports one virtual channel
– PCI Express Base specification Revision 1.0a compliant
Flexible Architecture with Numerous Configuration Options
– Port arbitration schemes utilizing round robin or weighted round robin algorithms
– Supports automatic per port link with negotiation (x4, x2, or x1)
– Supports static lane reversal on all ports
– Supports polarity inversion
– Supports locked transactions, allowing use with legacy software
– Ability to load device configuration from serial EEPROM
Highly Integrated Solution
– Requires no external components
– Incorporates on-chip internal memory for packet buffering and queueing
– Integrates 12 2.5 Gbps embedded SerDes, 8B/10B encoder/decoder (no separate transceivers
needed)
Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) Features
– Internal end-to-end parity protection on all TLPs ensures data integrity even in systems that do not
implement end-to-end CRC (ECRC)
