Multi-purpose, Feature Rich
ExpressLane™
PCI Express Switch
The
ExpressLane
PEX 8518 device offers PCI Express switching capability
enabling users to add scalable high bandwidth, non-blocking interconnection
to a wide variety of applications including
servers, storage systems,
communications platforms, blade servers, and embedded-control
products.
The PEX 8518 is well suited for
fan-out, aggregation, peer-to-
peer,
and
intelligent I/O module
applications.
Highly Flexible Port Configurations
The PEX 8518 offers highly configurable ports. There are a maximum of five
ports that can be configured to any legal width from x1 to x8, in any
combination to support your specific bandwidth needs. The ports can be
configured for
symmetric
(each port having the same lane width and traffic
load) or
asymmetric
(ports having different lane widths) traffic. In the event
of asymmetric traffic, the PEX 8518 features a
flexible central packet
memory
that allocates a memory buffer for each port as required by the
application or endpoint. This buffer allocation along with the device's
flexible packet flow control
minimizes bottlenecks when the upstream and
aggregated downstream bandwidths do not match (are asymmetric). Any of
the ports can be designated as the upstream port, which can be changed
dynamically.
End-to-end Packet Integrity
The PEX 8518 provides
end-to-end CRC
protection (ECRC) and
Poison
bit
support to enable designs that require
guaranteed error-free packets.
These
features are optional in the PCI Express specification, but PLX provides
them across its entire
ExpressLane
switch product line.
Non-Transparent “Bridging” in a PCI Express Switch
The PEX 8518 supports full non-transparent bridging (NTB) functionality to
allow implementation of
multi-host systems
and
intelligent I/O modules
in
applications such as
communications, storage,
and
blade servers.
To
ensure quick product migration, the non-transparency features are
implemented in the same fashion as in standard PCI applications.
Non-transparent bridges allow systems to isolate 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.
Two Virtual Channels
The
ExpressLane
PEX 8518 switch supports two full-featured Virtual
Channels (VCs) and eight Traffic Classes (TCs). The mapping of Traffic
Classes to port-specific Virtual Channels allows for different mappings for
different ports. In addition, the devices offer user-selectable Virtual Channel
arbitration algorithms to enable users to fine tune the Quality of Service
(QoS) required for a specific application.
