Product Description

The PI7C9X2G606PR is a 6-lane PCI Express 2.0 Switch with 6 PCI Express ports specifically designed to meet high performance and the latest GREEN low-power, lead (Pb)-free system requirements, such as Network, Embedded, Storage and other platforms. The name of the family, GreenPacket, refers to Diodes' proprietary power saving technology. The PI7C9X2G606PR provides one upstream port supporting x1, and 5 downstream ports that support x1 operation. The flexible upstream port provides users the flexibility to expand or fan-out from a wide range of x86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC SoC/Chipset, and it is a suitable solution for wired/ wireless networking, switch router, embedded, storage, HBA, surveillance, combo card and other applications.
