Product Description

Utilizing standard PCI Express interconnect, the PES6T5 provides the most efficient I/O connectivity solution for applications requiring high

throughput, low latency, and simple board layout with a minimum number of board layers. It provides 3 GBps (24 Gbps) of aggregated, full-duplex

switching capacity through 6 integrated serial lanes, using proven and robust IDT technology. Each lane provides 2.5 Gbps of bandwidth in both direc-

tions and is fully compliant with PCI Express Base specification revision 1.1.

The PES6T5 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 PES6T5 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.

SMBus Interface

The PES6T5 contains two SMBus interfaces. The slave interface provides full access to the configuration registers in the PES6T5, allowing every

configuration register in the device to be read or written by an external agent. The master interface allows the default configuration register values of

the PES6T5 to be overridden 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.

Six pins make up each of the two SMBus interfaces. These pins consist of an SMBus clock pin, an SMBus data pin, and 4 SMBus address pins. In

the slave interface, these address pins allow the SMBus address to which the device responds to be configured. In the master interface, these

address pins allow the SMBus address of the serial configuration EEPROM from which data is loaded to be configured. The SMBus address is set up

on negation of PERSTN by sampling the corresponding address pins. When the pins are sampled, the resulting address is assigned as shown in

Table 1.

Table 1 Master and Slave SMBus Address Assignment

As shown in

Figure 3,

the master and slave SMBuses may be used in a unified or split configuration. In the unified configuration, shown in

Figure

3(a),

the master and slave SMBuses are tied together and the PES6T5 acts both as a SMBus master as well as a SMBus slave on this bus. This

requires that the SMBus master or processor that has access to PES6T5 registers supports SMBus arbitration. In some systems, this SMBus master

interface may be implemented using general purpose I/O pins on a processor or micro controller, and may not support SMBus arbitration. To support

these systems, the PES6T5 may be configured to operate in a split configuration as shown in

Figure 3(b).

In the split configuration, the master and slave SMBuses operate as two independent buses and thus multi-master arbitration is never required.

The PES6T5 supports reading and writing of the serial EEPROM on the master SMBus via the slave SMBus, allowing in system programming of the

serial EEPROM.

Hot-Plug Interface

The PES6T5 supports PCI Express Hot-Plug on each downstream port. To reduce the number of pins required on the device, the PES6T5 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 PES6T5 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 PES6T5. In response to an I/O expander interrupt, the PES6T5 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 PES6T5 provides 11 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. Some GPIO pins are shared with other on-chip functions. These alternate

functions may be enabled via software, SMBus slave interface, or serial configuration EEPROM.

Pin Description

The following tables lists the functions of the pins provided on the PES6T5. 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.
