PI7C9X2G608ELCZXAEX

Overview

The PI7C9X2G608EL is a PCI Express Gen 2 Packet Switch from the ExtremeLo family, featuring 6 ports and 8 lanes. It supports data rates up to 5 Gb/s with a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1 V to 3.3 V and dissipates up to 1.05 W. It functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 136-pin aQFN package.

Feature Summary

• Supports PCI Express Gen 2 standard for high-speed serial communication
• Configurable port-lane mapping for flexible system integration
• Integrated EEPROM interface for configuration storage
• SMBus and I2C slave interfaces for system management

Applications

• PCIe switch modules
• Storage area networks (SAN)
• High-performance computing systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the component against the official Diodes Incorporated datasheet DS40215 Rev 7-2. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target system's power requirements and environmental conditions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a PCIe Gen 2 switch with 6 downstream ports and 8 lanes is required. Consider the aQFN-136 package constraints and the 1V to 3.3V supply voltage range. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities given the 1.05W power rating and the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ExtremeLo family of PCIe switches from Diodes Incorporated. It is designed for applications requiring multiple PCIe endpoints connected to a single root complex. The device provides transparent mode operation and supports standard PCIe configuration spaces.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated revisions of the PI7C9X2G608EL series. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting with other models in the ExtremeLo family. Ensure any replacement maintains the same lane count and port configuration.
