PEX 8664, PCI Express Gen 2 Switch, 64 Lanes, 16 Ports
The ExpressLane
switching capability enabling users to connect multiple hosts to their
respective endpoints via scalable, high bandwidth, non-blocking
interconnection to a wide variety of applications including servers,
storage systems, and communications platforms. The PEX 8664 is
well suited for fan-out, aggregation, and peer-to-peer applications.
Multi-Host Architecture
The PEX 8664 employs an enhanced version of PLX’s field tested PEX 8648
PCIe switch architecture, which allows users to configure the device in
legacy single-host mode or multi-host mode with up to five host ports
capable of 1+1 (one active & one backup) or N+1 (N active & one backup)
host failover. This powerful architectural enhancement enables users to build
PCIe based systems to support high-availability, failover, redundant and
clustered systems.
High Performance & Low Packet Latency
The PEX 8664 architecture supports packet cut-thru with a maximum
latency of 176ns (x16 to x16). This, combined with large packet memory,
flexible common buffer/FC credit pool and non-blocking internal switch
architecture, provides full line rate on all ports for performance-hungry
applications such as servers and switch fabrics. The low latency enables
applications to achieve high throughput and performance. In addition to low
latency, the device supports a packet payload size of up to 2048 bytes,
enabling the user to achieve even higher throughput.
Data Integrity
The PEX 8664 provides end-to-end CRC (ECRC) protection and Poison bit
support to enable designs that require end-to-end data integrity. PLX also
supports data path parity and memory (RAM) error correction circuitry
throughout the internal data paths as packets pass through the switch.
Flexible Configuration
The PEX 8664’s 16 ports can be
configured to lane widths of x1, x2, x4,
x8, or x16. Flexible buffer allocation,
along with the device's flexible packet
flow control, maximizes throughput
for applications where more traffic
flows in the downstream, rather than
upstream, direction. Any port can be
designated as the upstream port, which
can be changed dynamically. Figure 1
shows some of the PEX 8664’s
common port configurations in legacy
Single-Host mode.
