PEX 8111
x1 Lane, 10 x 10mm FBGA or 13 x 13mm PBGA
The ExpressLane™ PEX 8111 is a high performance bridge designed to the PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge Specification 1.0, that enables designers to migrate legacy PCI bus interfaces to the new advanced serial PCI Express. This 2-port device is equipped with a single lane PCI Express port and a parallel bus segment supporting the conventional PCI operation. The PEX 8111 is capable of operating in forward and reverse bridging modes. The PEX 8111 is offered in a 10 x 10mm 161-ball FPBGA or a 13 x 13mm 144-ball PBGA. This device is available in leaded and lead-free packaging.
