24-Lane 3-Port Non-Transparent
PCI Express™ Switch
89PES24N3
Product Brief
Preliminary Information*
Device Overview
The 89HPES24N3 is a member of IDT’s family of PCI Express™
based bridge and switch devices offering the next-generation I/O inter-
connect standard. The PES24N3 is a 24-lane, 3-port peripheral chip that
performs PCI Express Base switching with a feature set optimized for
high performance applications such as servers, storage, graphics, and
communications/networking. It provides fan-out and switching functions
between a PCI Express upstream port and two downstream ports or
peer-to-peer switching between downstream ports.
In addition to transparent switching, one port of the PES24N3 may
be configured to operate in non-transparent mode. This allows the
PES24N3 to be used in multi-host and intelligent I/O applications such
as communications, storage, and blade servers.

Product Description
Utilizing standard PCI Express interconnect, the PES24N3 provides
the most efficient fan-out solution for applications requiring high
throughput, low latency, and simple board layout with a minimum
number of board layers. It provides 6 GBps (48 Gbps) of aggregated,
full-duplex switching capacity through 24 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 specification 1.0a.
The PES24N3 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 PES24N3 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
management. This includes system selectable algorithms such as round
robin, weighted round-robin, and strict priority schemes guaranteeing
bandwidth allocation and/or latency for critical traffic classes in applica-
tions such as high throughput 10 Gigabit I/Os, SATA controllers, Fibre
Channel HBAs, and streaming media for graphics.
