Device Overview
The 89HPES64H16AG2 is a member of the IDT PRECISE™ family
of PCI Express® switching solutions. The PES64H16AG2 is a 64-lane,
16-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.
Features
High Performance Non-Blocking Switch Architecture
– 64-lane 16-port PCIe switch
• Eight x8 switch ports each of which can bifurcate to two x4
ports (total of sixteen x4 ports)
– Integrated SerDes supports 5.0 GT/s Gen2 and 2.5 GT/s
Gen1 operation
– Delivers up to 64 GBps (512 Gbps) of switching capacity
– Supports 128 Bytes to 2 KB maximum payload size
– Low latency cut-through architecture
– Supports one virtual channel and eight traffic classes
Standards and Compatibility
– PCI Express Base Specification 2.0 compliant
– Implements the following optional PCI Express features
• Advanced Error Reporting (AER) on all ports
• End-to-End CRC (ECRC)
• Access Control Services (ACS)
• Power Budgeting Enhanced Capability
• Device Serial Number Enhanced Capability
• Sub-System ID and Sub-System Vendor ID Capability
• Internal Error Reporting ECN
• Multicast ECN
• VGA and ISA enable
• L0s and L1 ASPM
•ARI ECN
Port Configurability
– x4 and x8 ports
• Ability to merge adjacent x4 ports to create a x8 port
– Automatic per port link width negotiation
(x8 → x4 → x2 → x1)
– Crosslink support
– Automatic lane reversal
– Autonomous and software managed link width and speed
control
– Per lane SerDes configuration
• De-emphasis
• Receive equalization
• Drive strength
Switch Partitioning
– IDT proprietary feature that creates logically independent
switches in the device
– Supports up to 16 fully independent switch partitions
– Configurable downstream port device numbering
– Supports dynamic reconfiguration of switch partitions
• Dynamic port reconfiguration — downstream, upstream
• Dynamic migration of ports between partitions
• Movable upstream port within and between switch partitions
Initialization / Configuration
– Supports Root (BIOS, OS, or driver), Serial EEPROM, or
SMBus switch initialization
– Common switch configurations are supported with pin strap-
ping (no external components)
– Supports in-system Serial EEPROM initialization/program-
ming
Quality of Service (QoS)
– Port arbitration
• Round robin
– Request metering
• IDT proprietary feature that balances bandwidth among
switch ports for maximum system throughput
– High performance switch core architecture
• Combined Input Output Queued (CIOQ) switch architecture
with large buffers
Multicast
– Compliant to the PCI-SIG multicast ECN
– Supports arbitrary multicasting of Posted transactions
– Supports 64 multicast groups
– Multicast overlay mechanism support
– ECRC regeneration support
Clocking
– Supports 100 MHz and 125 MHz reference clock frequencies
– Flexible port clocking modes
• Common clock
• Non-common clock
• Local port clock with SSC and port reference clock input
Hot-Plug and Hot Swap
– Hot-plug controller on all ports
• Hot-plug supported on all downstream switch ports
– All ports support hot-plug using low-cost external I2C I/O
