Device Overview
The 89HPES16T4G2 is a member of IDT’s PRECISE family of PCI
Express switching solutions. The PES16T4G2 is a 16-lane, 4-port
Gen2 peripheral chip that performs PCI Express Base switching with a
feature set optimized for high performance applications such as servers,
storage, and communications/networking. It provides connectivity and
switching functions between a PCI Express upstream port and up to
three downstream ports and supports switching between downstream
ports.
Features
◆
High Performance PCI Express Switch

One x4 upstream port
Three x4 downstream ports
– Low latency cut-through switch architecture
– Support for Max Payload Size up to 2048 bytes
– One virtual channel
– Eight traffic classes
– PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0 compliant
◆
Flexible Architecture with Numerous Configuration Options
– Automatic per port link width negotiation to x4, x2 or x1
– Automatic lane reversal on all ports
– Automatic polarity inversion
– Ability to load device configuration from serial EEPROM
◆
Legacy Support

◆
Highly Integrated Solution
– Incorporates on-chip internal memory for packet buffering and
queueing
– Integrates sixteen 5 Gbps embedded SerDes with 8b/10b
encoder/decoder (no separate transceivers needed)
Receive equalization (RxEQ)
◆
Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) Features
– Internal end-to-end parity protection on all TLPs ensures data
integrity even in systems that do not implement end-to-end
CRC (ECRC)
– Supports ECRC and Advanced Error Reporting
– Supports PCI Express Native Hot-Plug, Hot-Swap capable I/O
– Compatible with Hot-Plug I/O expanders used on PC mother-
boards
– Supports Hot-Swap
