PI7C9X2G312GPANJE

Specialized Overview

The PI7C9X2G312GPANJE is a PCI Express Gen 2 Packet Switch featuring three ports and twelve lanes. It includes one upstream port supporting x4 operation and two downstream ports also supporting x4 operation. The device operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 196-pin LBGA package measuring 15mm by 15mm. Typical power dissipation in L0 normal mode is 1.3 W, including the clock buffer. The switch supports a maximum payload size of 512 bytes and provides a typical latency of 150ns for unblocked packets.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Supports both Cut-through and Store-and-Forward switching modes
• Enables peer-to-peer switching between any two downstream ports
• Provides advanced error reporting, logging, and end-to-end CRC
• Includes integrated 100MHz clock buffers for each downstream port

Specialized Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS) and storage platforms
• Servers and Host Bus Adapters (HBA)
• Embedded systems and industrial control units
• Wireless access points and network switches
• Surveillance and security equipment

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the PI7C9X2G312GP family specifications. Confirm the package type is the 196-pin LBGA variant. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the required industrial standards of -40°C to +85°C. Check datasheets for specific ordering suffixes to confirm tape and reel packaging if applicable.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this switch when a compact solution with three PCIe Gen 2 ports is required. It is suitable for applications needing flexible fan-out from x86 or ARM chipsets. Consider its low power consumption and GreenPacket technology for energy-efficient designs. Verify compatibility with system requirements for virtual channels and traffic classes.

Specialized Part Context

This component belongs to the Pericom GreenPacket family of PCI Express packet switches. It is manufactured by Diodes Incorporated following their acquisition of Pericom Semiconductor. The device is designed to meet high-performance and low-power system requirements for embedded and networking platforms.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other models within the PI7C9X2G series. Verify pinout and electrical characteristics before substitution. Ensure the alternative part supports the same number of lanes and ports.
