Scalable PCI Express switch family

20 February 2008 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

IDT has developed a PCI Express (PCIe) family of switching solutions specifically tailored to meet the high-performance data and control plane interconnect requirements of demanding communications applications. Comprised of three 16-port devices, the family offers lane-count options of 16, 22 and 34 PCIe lanes. The 16-lane, 16-port 89HPES16H16 offers economical, high port-count connectivity for control plane traffic between management processors, ASICs, FPGAs and I/O peripherals. The 22-lane, 16-port 89HPES22H16 and 34-lane, 16-port 89HPES34H16 offer flexible x8, x4 and x1 port configurations to support a mix of data and control plane traffic. The large port widths also enable efficient, high-performance cascading connectivity for switching complexes with more than 16 ports, and provide for redundancy and failover mechanisms. The devices are available in flip chip BGA packages as small as 23 mm with 1 mm ball spacing. Each of the IDT PCIe switching solutions has a dedicated evaluation and development kit for device testing and analysis, and system emulation.
