Detailed Description

PCI Express Gen2 packet switch, 6 ports, 8 total lanes. Designed to expand PCIe connectivity in embedded, industrial, storage, and networking systems. Compliant with PCIe 2.0/2.1, supports 5.0 GT/s and 2.5 GT/s link speeds, low-latency switching, and power-saving modes. Category: Integrated Circuits (ICs). Subcategory: Specialized ICs.

Current stock: 1107 units. Package/Case code: 869. Date code: 1533+.

Key Features

PCIe Gen2 5.0 GT/s per lane with auto-negotiation to 2.5 GT/s

6-port architecture with flexible lane allocation across ports (upstream/downstream)

Lane width options typically up to x4 per port, total 8 lanes

Low-latency cut-through switching for fast transactions

Advanced error reporting (AER) and robust link diagnostics

Hot-plug and surprise-down support for field serviceability

Power management with ASPM (L0s, L1), low-power idle states

100 MHz reference clock input with spread-spectrum support

SMBus/I2C management interface, reset and GPIO sideband signals

RoHS-compliant, lead-free “Green” series

Key Advantages

Adds multiple PCIe ports without CPU changes, enabling easy system expansion

High bandwidth in a compact footprint, ideal for dense designs

Interoperable with a wide range of host chipsets and endpoints

Stable links with built-in equalization and robust signal integrity

Lower power per lane compared to older PCIe devices

Simplified board design with standard PCIe signaling and clocking

Proven family for industrial reliability across many deployments

Packaging

Type: Plastic LFBGA/BGA (lead-free, Green). Package/Case code: 869

Material: Molded plastic body, lead-free solder balls (RoHS)

Size: Compact BGA footprint; see datasheet for exact body size and ball pitch

Pin configuration: BGA ball field with grouped differential TX/RX pairs for PCIe lanes, reference clock pins, SMBus/I2C, JTAG, GPIO, resets, and multiple power/ground balls; exact ball map per datasheet

Thermal characteristics: Designed for commercial/industrial operation; thermal performance depends on board design and airflow. Refer to datasheet for thermal resistance and recommended heatsinking/layout

Electrical properties: Multi-rail power (typical rails include core, SerDes, and 3.3 V I/O); 100 MHz ref clock; PCIe 2.0 electrical compliance; detailed limits (voltages, currents, jitter, equalization) in datasheet

Lifecycle

Status: Active and broadly used in legacy and current Gen2 designs. No public notice of near-term discontinuation as of the latest update. Availability may vary by suffix and package
