The PEX 8512 is well suited for fan-out, aggregation, peer-to- peer, and intelligent I/O module applications. Highly Flexible Port Configurations The PEX 8512 offers 12 lanes which can be distributed into three ports or five ports. In the case of three ports, the ports are configured for symmetric (each port having the same lane width). The PEX 8512 features a flexible central packet memory that allocates a memory buffer for each port as required by the application or endpoint. This buffer allocation along with the device's flexible packet flow control minimizes bottlenecks when the upstream and aggregated downstream bandwidths do not match. Any of the ports can be designated as the upstream port, which can be changed dynamically. End-to-end Packet Integrity The PEX 8512 provides end-to-end CRC protection (ECRC) and Poison bit support to enable designs that require guaranteed error-free packets. These features are optional in the PCI Express specification, but PLX provides them across its entire ExpressLane switch product line. Non-Transparent “Bridging” in a PCI Express Switch The PEX 8512 supports full non-transparent bridging (NTB) functionality to allow implementation of multi-host systems and intelligent I/O modules in applications such as communications, storage, and blade servers. To ensure quick product migration, the non-transparency features are implemented in the same fashion as in standard PCI applications. Non-transparent bridges allow systems to isolate memory domains by presenting the processor subsystem as an endpoint, rather than another memory system. Base address registers are used to translate addresses; doorbell registers are used to send interrupts between the address domains; and scratchpad registers are accessible from both address domains to allow inter-processor communication. Two Virtual Channels The ExpressLane PEX 8512 switch supports two Virtual Channels (VCs) and eight Traffic Classes (TCs). The mapping of Traffic Classes to port-specific Virtual Channels allows for different mappings for different ports. In addition, the devices offer user-selectable Virtual Channel arbitration algorithms to enable users to fine tune the Quality of Service (QoS) required for a specific application.
