Automotive 8-Port, 16-Lane PCIe 3.0 Packet Switch

Description

The Automotive PCIe® 3.0 Packet Switch family is a series of 6-32 lanes PCI Express third generation switches with 6 to 16 PCI Ex­press ports specifically designed to meet high performance, RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) and the latest power management system requirements of Zonal Central Controller, ADAS and telematics etc. The Automotive PCIe3 Packet Switch family provides elastic bifurcation for upstream and downstream ports. The superior signal integrity performance enables support for long PCIe trace length with loss more than 30 dB. The Automo­tive PCIe 3.0 Packet Switch family are able to connect up to 15 endpoints, such as PCIe- SSD drives, and support multi-host ap­plications and up to 8 DMA physical channels and 3 configurable Cross Domain End-Point (CDEP) ports for high performance fab­ric and failover applications.
