PEX 8613  Lead Free  PCI-SIG Integrator's List

12-Lane, 3-Port PCI Express Gen 2 (5.0 GT/s) Switch, 19 x 19mm PBGA

The ExpressLane™ PEX 8613 device offers 12 PCI Express Gen 2 (5.0 GT/s) lanes, with support for 3 ports. The switch conforms to the PCI Express Base Specification, rev 2.0. The 12-lane switch enables users to add scalable, high bandwidth, non-blocking interconnection to a wide variety of applications including workstations, communications, storage, and embedded systems as well as intelligent I/O modules and add-in cards. The PEX 8613 boasts the industry's lowest 12-lane PCIe Gen 2 latency at 140ns and unsurpassed performance with its non-blocking architecture, capable of supporting both host-centric as well as true peer-to-peer traffic. The PEX 8613 also features an on-chip Non-Transparent port for dual-host and failover applications, as well as two SSC isolation and two Virtual Channels for enhanced QoS. The device is hardware configurable and software programmable, allowing users to tailor their port configurations and QoS operating characteristics to suit their application requirements. The PEX 8613 is offered in a 19 x 19mm 324-ball PBGA. This device is available in lead-free packaging. This device supports Access Control Services (ACS).
