PI7C9X2G304ELZXAE

Specialized Overview

The PI7C9X2G304ELZXAE is a PCI Express Gen 2 packet switch manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features three downstream ports and one upstream port, with each port supporting four lanes. The device operates at data rates up to 5 Gb/s per lane and supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz. It functions within a supply voltage range of 950 mV to 1.1 V and dissipates power up to 650 mW. The component is housed in a 136-pin aQFN package and is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Supports PCIe Gen 2 protocol with four-lane capability per port
• Integrates routing logic and transaction layer decapsulation/encapsulation
• Includes integrated clock buffers for downstream ports
• Provides EEPROM interface and SMBus management capabilities

Specialized Applications

• PCIe expansion chassis connectivity
• Storage area network (SAN) switching
• High-performance computing interconnects

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging type and compliance status. Confirm that the component meets all applicable regulatory standards required for the intended deployment environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this model when a three-port downstream configuration is required for PCIe Gen 2 systems. Ensure the design accommodates the 136-pin aQFN footprint and thermal requirements associated with the specified power dissipation limits under maximum load conditions.

Specialized Part Context

This component belongs to the PI7C9X2G series of extreme low-power packet switches. It serves as a bridge between host processors and multiple peripheral devices, facilitating high-speed data transfer across PCIe lanes while managing traffic flow through internal arbitration mechanisms.
