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.
