Diodes Incorporated PI7C9X3G0000GPEVB Evaluation Board
Diodes Incorporated PI7C9X3G0000GPEVB Evaluation Board is designed to evaluate the PI7C9X3G0000GP series, including PI7C9X3G606GP, PI7C9X3G808GP, PI7C9X3G816GP, PI7C9X3G1224GP, and PI7C9X3G1632GP PCI Express GEN 3 Switch ICs. The architecture of the PCIe® packet switch enables a flexible port configuration by issuing variable lane width for each port. A basic cell of the switch architecture is called a tile, which contains eight ports and 16 lanes for Tile0, four ports and eight lanes for Tile1.
The Diodes Inc PI7C9X3G0000GPEVB Evaluation Board is developed around the PI7C9X3G1224GP, a 12-port, 24-lane, GEN 3 switch IC, based on the PCI Express CEM 3.0 specification.
Features
- PERICOM PI7C9X3G1224GP PCI Express switch IC in a 324-ball plastic BGA package
- Based on the PCI Express card Electromechanical (CEM) specification CEM 3.0, and the PCI Express external cabling specification 1.0
- T0P2/P3(SLOT2), T0P4/P5(SLOT3), T0P6/P7(SLOT4), T1P0/P1(SLOT5), T1P4/P5(SLOT6) each share one PCIE slot and with PCIE to M.2 adapter implementation x2 link (516/816_408mode)
- Tile0 supports up to five different port configurations
Tile1 supports up to three different port configurations - In-system programmable serial EEPROM
- Provides the I2C/MSBUS interface
- DIP switches for configuration
- Manual push-button PERST#capability
- Up to twelve LEDs for visual inspection of link speed and status for each port
