48-Lane 12-Port PCIe® Gen2
System Interconnect Switch
®
89HPES48H12AG2
Product Brief
Device Overview
The 89HPES48H12AG2 is a member of the IDT PRECISE™ family
of PCI Express® switching solutions. The PES48H12AG2 is a 48-lane,
12-port system interconnect switch optimized for PCI Express Gen2
packet switching in high-performance applications, supporting multiple
simultaneous peer-to-peer traffic flows. Target applications include
servers, storage, communications, embedded systems, and multi-host
or intelligent I/O based systems with inter-domain communication.
Utilizing standard PCI Express Gen2 interconnect, the
PES48H12AG2 provides the most efficient system interconnect
switching solution for applications requiring high throughput, low latency,
and simple board layout with a minimum number of board layers. Each
lane is capable of 5 GT/s of bandwidth in both directions and is fully
compliant with PCI Express Base specification 2.0.
