Diodes Incorporated provides its latest PI7C9X3G1224GP PCIe 3.0 packet switch. The integrated PCIe 3.0 clock buffer is another advantage of this device. This simplifies the design and reduces the total cost of the BOM. Advanced power management features make it an ideal choice for system design where energy-saving gain is very important. The operating temperature is continuously monitored by a built-in thermal sensor. Error reporting and other diagnostic functions are also included.
The message forwarding delay is low, generally less than 150ns. The flexible port configuration of the device is realized by assigning a scope of variable channel width to each port. During fan out, any port of the packet switch can be configured as an uplink port and connected to multiple downlink ports. The cross domain endpoint configuration of some ports can support multi host arrangements, thus improving performance and expanding functions.
The adaptive receiver and transmitter equalization (RXEQ/TXEQ) function includes assisting in maintaining the signal integrity level and providing continuous system stability. This high-performance 12 port 24 lane device can be used for edge computing, data storage, communication infrastructure, and integrated into host bus adapters, industrial controllers, and network routers.
