Data Sheet

The 89HPES3T3 is a member of IDT’s PRECISE™ family of PCI

Express switching solutions. The PES3T3 is a 3-lane, 3-port peripheral

chip that performs PCI Express Base switching. It provides connectivity

and switching functions between a PCI Express upstream port and up to

four downstream ports and supports switching between downstream

ports.

Five General Purpose Input/Output Pins

– Each pin may be individually configured as an input or output

– Each pin may be individually configured as an interrupt input

– Four pins have selectable alternate functions

Option A Package: 13mm x 13mm 144-ball BGA with 1mm ball spacing

Option B Package: 10mm x 10mm 132-ball QFN with 1mm ball spacing

Product Description

Utilizing standard PCI Express interconnect, the PES3T3 provides the most efficient fan-out solution for applications requiring x1 connectivity, low

latency, and simple board layout with a minimum number of board layers. Each lane provides 2.5 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions and is fully

compliant with PCI Express Base specification 1.1.

The PES3T3 is based on a flexible and efficient layered architecture. The PCI Express layer consists of SerDes, Physical, Data Link and Transac-

tion layers in compliance with PCI Express Base specification Revision 1.1. The PES3T3 can operate either as a store and forward or cut-through

switch 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 to allow efficient switching for applications requiring additional narrow port connectivity and also some high-end connectivity.

Figure 2 I/O Expansion Application

SMBus Interface

The PES3T3 contains an SMBus master interface. This master interface allows the default configuration register values of the PES3T3 to be over-

ridden following a reset with values programmed in an external serial EEPROM. The master interface is also used by an external Hot-Plug I/O

expander. Two pins make up the SMBus master interface. These pins consist of an SMBus clock pin and an SMBus data pin.

Hot-Plug Interface

The PES3T3 supports PCI Express Hot-Plug on each downstream port. To reduce the number of pins required on the device, the PES3T3 utilizes

an external I/O expander, such as that used on PC motherboards, connected to the SMBus master interface. Following reset and configuration, when-

ever the state of a Hot-Plug output needs to be modified, the PES3T3 generates an SMBus transaction to the I/O expander with the new value of all of

the outputs. Whenever a Hot-Plug input changes, the I/O expander generates an interrupt which is received on the IOEXPINTN input pin (alternate

function of GPIO) of the PES3T3. In response to an I/O expander interrupt, the PES3T3 generates an SMBus transaction to read the state of all of the

Hot-Plug inputs from the I/O expander.

General Purpose Input/Output

The PES3T3 provides 5 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins that may be used by the system designer as bit I/O ports. Each GPIO pin may

be configured independently as an input or output through software control, and each GPIO pin is shared with another on-chip function. These alter-

nate functions may be enabled via software or serial configuration EEPROM.

Pin Description

The following tables lists the functions of the pins provided on the PES3T3. 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.
