The ExpressLane
enabling users to add scalable high bandwidth non-blocking interconnection to a
wide variety of applications including control planes, communication platforms,
servers, storage systems and embedded systems. The PEX 8618 is well suited for
fan-out, aggregation, peer-to-peer, and intelligent I/O module applications
Low Packet Latency & High Performance
The PEX 8618 architecture supports packet cut-thru with a maximum latency of
140ns. This, combined with large packet memory and non-blocking internal switch
architecture, provides full line rate on all ports for low-latency applications such as
communications and servers. The low latency enables applications to achieve high
throughput and performance. In addition to low latency, the device supports a max
payload size of 2048 bytes, enabling the user to achieve even higher throughout
Data Integrity
The PEX 8618 provides end-to-end CRC protection (ECRC) and Poison bit support
to enable designs that require guaranteed error-free packets. PLX also supports
data path parity and memory (RAM) error correction as packets pass through the
switch
Dual-Host and Fail-Over Support
The PEX 8618 supports full non-transparent bridging (NTB) functionality to allow
implementation of multi-host systems and intelligent I/O modules in applications
which require redundancy support such as communications, storage, and servers.
Non-transparent bridges allow systems to isolate host memory domains by
presenting the processor subsystem as an endpoint rather than another memory
system. Base address registers are used to translate addresses; doorbell registers are
used to send interrupts between the address domains; and scratchpad registers are
accessible from both address domains to allow inter-processor communication
Interoperability
The PEX 8618 is designed to be fully compliant with the PCI Express Base
Specification r2.0 and is backwards compatible to PCI Express Base Specification
r1.1 and r1.0a. Additionally each port supports auto-negotiation, lane reversal and
polarity reversal. Furthermore, the PEX 8618 is designed for Microsoft Vista
compliance. All PLX switches undergo thorough interoperability testing in PLX’s
Interoperability Lab and compliance testing at the PCI-SIG plug-fest to ensure
compatibility with PCI Express devices in the market.
Device Operation Configuration Flexibility
The PEX 8618 provides several ways to configure its operations. The device can be
configured through strapping pins, I
optional serial EEPROM. This allows for easy debug during the development phase
and functional monitoring during the operation phase
