Diodes will bring out its latest PCIe 3.0 packet switcher-Diodes PI7C9X3G1224GP. The product is an efficient 12-port, 24-channel device that can be used for edge computing, data storage devices, communication infrastructure, and integrated into host bus adapters (Hbas), industrial controllers and network routers.It adopts 324 pin flip chip BGA packaging format.
The forwarding delay of PI7C9X3G1224GP is less than 150ns (typical value). The elastic port configuration of the device is realized by allocating a range of variable channel widths through each port. For fan out purposes, any packet switcher port can be set as an uplink port and connected to multiple downlink ports. The port-specific cross-domain endpoint (CDEP) configuration enables multiple host configurations for improved performance and expanded functionality. Adaptive receiver and sender equalization (RXEQ/TXEQ) functions include assisting in maintaining signal integrity levels and ensuring continuous system stability.
The integrated PCIe 3.0 clock buffer is another advantage of PI7C9X3G1224GP products. This simplifies design and reduces overall bill of Materials (BOM) costs. Advanced power management features make it ideal for system designs that focus on energy efficiency benefits. Operating temperature is constantly monitored using a built-in thermal sensor. It also includes error reporting and other diagnostic capabilities.
