PI7C9X2G606PRCNJEX

Overview

The PI7C9X2G606PRCNJEX is a PCIe Gen 2 packet switch from the GreenPacket family, featuring six ports and six lanes. It comprises one upstream port supporting x1 operation and five downstream ports also supporting x1. The device complies with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.1 and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes a 196-pin LBGA package measuring 15mm x 15mm. Typical power dissipation in L0 normal mode is 0.6 W, with a typical latency of 150ns for unblocked packets. The component supports up to 512-byte maximum payload sizes.

Feature Summary

• Supports advanced error reporting, logging, and end-to-end CRC for reliability.
• Enables flexible link power management across multiple states including L0s and L1.
• Provides programmable driver current and de-emphasis levels per port.
• Facilitates peer-to-peer switching between downstream ports.

Applications

• Wireless access points and switch routers
• Network Attached Storage (NAS) and storage platforms
• Server motherboard PCIe slot expansion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Diodes Incorporated documentation to confirm packaging type and availability status. Confirm that the component meets RoHS and lead-free requirements as specified in the datasheet. Ensure compatibility with the target system's ACPI specifications and SMBus interface needs before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a six-port, six-lane PCIe Gen 2 solution is required for fan-out or expansion applications. Consider the 196-pin LBGA package constraints and the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Evaluate the need for specific features like SR-IOV support or Isochronous traffic mapping based on the application design.
