The PES12NT3 supports static lane reversal. For example, lane
reversal for upstream port A may be configured by asserting the PCI
Express Port A Lane Reverse (PEALREV) input signal or through serial
EEPROM or SMBus initialization. Lane reversal for ports B and C may
be enabled via a configuration space register, serial EEPROM, or the
SMBus.
Product Description
Utilizing standard PCI Express interconnect, the PES12NT3 provides
the most efficient high-performance I/O connectivity solution for applica-
tions requiring high throughput, low latency, and simple board layout
with a minimum number of board layers. With support for non-trans-
parent bridging, the PES12NT3, as a standalone switch or as a chipset
with IDT PCIe System Interconnect Switches, enables multi-host and
intelligent I/O applications requiring inter-domain communication. The
PES12NT3 provides 48 Gbps (6 GBps) of aggregated, full-duplex
switching capacity through 12 integrated serial lanes, using proven and
robust IDT technology. Each lane provides 2.5 Gbps of bandwidth in
both directions and is fully compliant with PCI Express Base specifica-
tion 1.0a.
The PES12NT3 is based on a flexible and efficient layered architec-
ture. The PCI Express layer consists of SerDes, Physical, Data Link and
Transaction layers in compliance with PCI Express Base specification
Revision 1.0a. The PES12NT3 can operate either as a store and
forward or cut-through switch depending on the packet size and is
designed to switch memory and I/O transactions. It supports eight Traffic
Classes (TCs) and one Virtual Channel (VC) with sophisticated resource

Pin Description
The following tables list the functions of the pins provided on the PES12NT3. Some of the functions listed may be multiplexed onto the same pin.
The active polarity of a signal is defined using a suffix. Signals ending with an “N” are defined as being active, or asserted, when at a logic zero (low)
level. All other signals (including clocks, buses, and select lines) will be interpreted as being active, or asserted, when at a logic one (high) level.

Name/Description
PCI Express Port A Lane Reverse.
When this bit is asserted, the lanes of
PCI Express Port A are reversed. This value may be overridden by modify-
ing the value of the PALREV bit in the PA_SWCTL register.
PCI Express Port A Serial Data Receive.
Differential PCI Express receive
pairs for port A.
PCI Express Port A Serial Data Transmit.
Differential PCI Express trans-
mit pairs for port A
PCI Express Port B Lane Reverse.
When this bit is asserted, the lanes of
PCI Express Port B are reversed. This value may be overridden by modify-
ing the value of the PBLREV bit in the PA_SWCTL register.
PCI Express Port B Serial Data Receive.
Differential PCI Express receive
pairs for port B.
PCI Express Port B Serial Data Transmit.
Differential PCI Express trans-
mit pairs for port B
PCI Express Port C Lane Reverse.
When this bit is asserted, the lanes of
PCI Express Port C are reversed. This value may be overridden by modify-
ing the value of the PCLREV bit in the PA_SWCTL register.
PCI Express Port C Serial Data Receive.
Differential PCI Express receive
pairs for port C.
PCI Express Port C Serial Data Transmit.
Differential PCI Express trans-
mit pairs for port C
PCI Express Reference Clock.
Differential reference clock pair input. This
clock is used as the reference clock by on-chip PLLs to generate the clocks
required for the system logic and on-chip SerDes. The frequency of the dif-
ferential reference clock is determined by the REFCLKM signal.
PCI Express Reference Clock Mode Select.
These signals select the fre-
quency of the reference clock input.
