PCIe GEN3 8-Port/8-Lane Packet Switch

Diodes Incorporated PCIe GEN3 8-Port/8-Lane Packet Switch supports 8 lanes of GEN 3.0 SERDES in flexible 2-port, 3-port, 4-port, 5-port, and 8-port configurations. The device is available in a high-performance flip-chip package with a 196-ball BGA format. The architecture of the PCIe packet switch allows the flexible port configuration by allocating variable lane widths for each port. The packet switch can be configured to have different port types such as upstream port, downstream ports, and Cross-Domain End-Point (CDEP) ports to support various applications, which include port fan-out and dual-host connectivity. The Diodes Incorporated PCIe GEN3 8-Port/8-Lane Packet Switch also features high signal integrity in the stress channel, an advanced power management mechanism, enhanced reliability/availability/serviceability (RAS), and unused hot-pluggable ports (kept in a low-power state until needed) with LED enclosure management.
