2 / 4 page Flexible Port Configurations The PEX 8609 supports a large number of port configurations as shown in figure 1 below. Please refer to the PEX 8609 datasheet for more port configuration options. Figure 1. PEX8609 Port Configurations Hot-Plug for High Availability Hot-Plug capability allows users to replace hardware modules and perform maintenance without powering down the system. The PEX 8609 Hot-Plug capability feature makes it suitable for High Availability (HA) applications. If the PEX 8609 is used in an application where one or more of its downstream ports connect to PCI Express slots, each port’s Hot-Plug Controller can be used to manage the Hot-Plug event of its associated slot. Every port on the PEX 8609 is equipped with a Hot-Plug control/status register to support Hot-Plug capability through external logic via the I 2C interface. Dual Cast The PEX 8609 supports Dual Cast, a feature which allows for the copying of data (e.g. packets) from one ingress port to two egress ports allowing for higher performance in storage, security, and mirroring applications. Read Pacing The Read Pacing feature allows users to throttle the amount of read requests being made by downstream devices. In the case where a downstream device requests several long reads back- to-back, the Root Complex gets tied up in serving this downstream port. If this port has a narrow link and is therefore slow in receiving these read packets from the Root Complex, then other downstream ports may become starved – thus, impacting performance. The Read Pacing feature enhances performances by allowing for the adequate servicing of all downstream devices by intelligent handling of read requests. SerDes Power and Signal Management The PEX 8609 provides low power capability that is fully compliant with the PCI Express power management specification. In addition, the SerDes physical links can be turned off when unused for even lower power. The PEX 8609 supports software control of the SerDes outputs to allow optimization of power and signal strength in a system. The PLX SerDes implementation supports four levels of power – off, low, typical, and high. The SerDes block also supports loop-back modes and advanced reporting of error conditions, which enables efficient debug and management of the entire system. Port and Virtual Channel (VC) Arbitration The PEX 8609 switch supports hardware fixed and Weighted Round-Robin Ingress Port Arbitration. This allows fine tuning of Quality of Service and efficient use of packet buffers for better system performance. The PEX 8609 also supports WRR VC arbitration scheme between the two virtual channels. Applications Suitable for fan-out, control plane applications, embedded systems as well as intelligent I/O applications, PEX 8609 can be configured for a wide variety of form factors and applications. Fan-Out The PEX 8609 switch, with its high port count and flexible configurations, allows user specific tuning to a variety of host- centric as well as peer-to-peer applications. Figure 2. Fan-in/out Usage In this example, the PEX 8609 would typically have a 1-lane upstream port, and as many as 7 downstream ports. The downstream ports provide x1 PCI Express connectivity to the endpoints. The figure also shows how some of the ports can be bridged to provide PCI slots or Generic devices through the use of the PEX 8311 and PEX 8112 PCIe bridging devices. The DMA engine in the PEX8609 can alternatively be used for data transfers between the ASICs, FPGAs and the host. The integrated DMA engine together with the PEX8609 ability to support direct peer-to-peer transfers can alternately be used to transfer data between the ASICs and FPGAs in the system. Active-Standby Failover Model The PEX 8609 supports applications requiring host failover applications through the non-transparency and DMA |
