Product:
PCIe® Packet Switch - 5-Port/8-lane
Part Numbers: PI7C9X20508GP GreenPacketTM Family
Product Description
The PI7C9X20508GP is a 5-port, 8-lane, PCI Express®
Packet Switch specifically designed to meet the latest
GREEN low-power, lead (Pb)-free system requirements,
such as laptop, docking station, and other mobile or power
sensitive platforms. The name of the family, GreenPacketTM,
refers to Pericom proprietary power saving technology.
The PI7C9X20508GP provides one upstream port
supporting x4 or x1, and 4 downstream ports that support x1
operation. The flexible upstream port provides users the
flexibility to expand or fanout from a wide range of I/O Bridge
such as MCH, ICH, nVidia, and it is a suitable solution for
HBA, Surveillance, Combo card and other applications.
