The PEX 8548 is well suited for fan-out, aggregation, dual- graphics, peer-to-peer, and fabric backplane applications. Highly Flexible Port Configurations The PEX 8548 offers highly configurable ports. There are a maximum of 9 ports that can be configured to any legal width from x1 to x16, in any combination to support your specific bandwidth needs. The ports can be configured for symmetric (each port having the same lane width and traffic load) or asymmetric (ports having different lane widths) traffic. In the event of asymmetric traffic, the PEX 8548 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 (are asymmetric). Any of the ports can be designated as the upstream port, which can be changed dynamically. High Performance The PEX 8548 architecture supports packet cut-thru with a max latency of 110ns (x16 to x16). This, combined with large packet memory (1024 byte maximum payload size) and non-blocking internal switch architecture, provide full line rate on all ports for performance-hungry applications such as storage servers or storage switch fabrics. End-to-end Packet Integrity The PEX 8548 provides end-to-end CRC protection (ECRC) and Poison bit support to enable designs that require end-to-end data integrity. These features are optional in the PCI Express specification, but PLX provides them across its entire ExpressLane switch product line. Configuration Flexibility The PEX 8548 provides several ways to configure its operations. The device can be configured through strapping pins, I 2C interface, CPU configuration cycles, or an optional serial EEPROM. This allows for easy debug during the development phase, performance monitoring during the operation phase, and driver or software upgrade. Interoperability The PEX 8548 is designed to be fully compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification r1.1. Additionally, it supports auto-negotiation, lane reversal, and polarity reversal. The PEX 8548 also undergoes thorough interoperability testing in PLX’s Interoperability Lab. PEX 8548 Version 1.5 2007 |
