PEX 8114

x1, x2, x4 Lane, 17 x 17mm PBGA
The ExpressLane™ PEX 8114 is a high performance bridge designed to the PCI Express-to-PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification 1.0, that enables designers to migrate legacy PCI and PCI-X bus interfaces to the new advanced serial PCI Express. This 2-port device is equipped with a standard but flexible PCI Express port that scales to x1, x2 or x4 and a parallel bus segment supporting the advanced PCI-X protocol or conventional PCI operation. The PEX 8114 is capable of operating in forward and reverse bridging modes. The PEX 8114 is offered in a 17 x 17mm 256-ball PBGA. This device is available in leaded and lead-free packaging.
