PEX 8713, PCI Express Gen 3 Switch, 12 Lanes, 10 Ports
The ExpressLane™ PEX 8713 device offers Multi-Host PCI Express
switching capability enabling users to connect multiple hosts to their
respective
interconnection to a wide variety of applications including servers, storage,
communications, and graphics platforms. The PEX 8713 is well suited for
fan-out, aggregation, and peer-to-peer traffic patterns.
Multi-Host Architecture
The PEX 8713 employs an enhanced version of PLX’s field tested PEX 8712
PCIe switch architecture, which allows users to configure the device in legacy
single-host mode or multi-host mode with up to two host ports capable of 1+1
(one active & one backup) host failover. This powerful architectural
enhancement enables users to build PCIe based systems to support high-
availability, failover, redundant, or clustered systems.
High Performance & Low Packet Latency
The PEX 8713 architecture supports packet cut-thru with a maximum
latency of 138ns (x4 to x4). 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.
Integrated DMA Engine
The PEX 8713 boasts a versatile and powerful built-in DMA engine. The
DMA engine removes the burden of having to move data between devices
away from the processor – allowing the processor to perform computational
tasks instead. The four DMA channels can support high data rate transfers
between I/O devices connected to any of the switch’s ports. Additionally, the
DMA engine in the PEX 8713 can be used to complement the DMA engine in
the processor by providing additional DMA channels for higher performance.
Data Integrity
The PEX 8713 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 8713’s 10 ports can be
configured to lane widths of x1, x2, x4, or
x8. Flexible buffer allocation, along with
the device's flexible packet flow control,
maximizes throughput for applications

direction. Any port can be designated as
the upstream port, which can be changed
dynamically. Figure 1 shows some of the

Performance Monitoring The PEX 8713’s real time performance monitoring allows users to literally “see” ingress and egress performance on each port as traffic passes through the switch using PLX’s Software Development Kit (SDK). The monitoring is completely passive and therefore has no affect on overall system performance. Internal counters provide extensive granularity down to traffic & ...
