The PEX8617-BA50BI G is a PCI Express Gen 2 switch IC manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features 16 lanes and 4 ports, designed for high-performance connectivity applications. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a PBGA-324 surface-mount package. This device supports humidity sensitivity requirements and is classified under Interface ICs. The unit weighs approximately 1.714 grams.
This component is officially discontinued and no longer in production. Verification of authenticity is critical when sourcing from secondary markets. Confirm the specific suffix 'G' indicates RoHS compliance as per manufacturer documentation. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements prior to assembly. Validate part markings against official datasheet specifications to ensure functional integrity.
Engineers should evaluate the PEX8617 family variants based on lane count and port configuration needs. Compare the 16-lane 4-port topology against other models like the PEX8619 or PEX8615 for system fit. Ensure the PBGA-324 package aligns with PCB layout constraints. Consider thermal management capabilities within the specified operating temperature range during design integration.
The PEX8617 belongs to Broadcom's ExpressLane PCIe switch portfolio. It serves as an interface solution for connecting multiple PCIe endpoints. The BA50BI G suffix denotes specific packaging and environmental compliance attributes. This series supports scalable connectivity for data center and enterprise environments requiring reliable signal routing.
Broadcom recommends the PEX8718-AB80BI G and PEX8764-AB80BI G as manufacturer-recommended alternatives. These newer devices offer updated specifications and availability. Verify pin compatibility and firmware support before implementing any substitution in existing designs.
