Product: PCIe2 6-Port/6-Lane Packet Switch, GreenPacketTM Family
Part Numbers: PI7C9X2G606PR
Product Description
The PI7C9X2G606PR is a 6-lane PCI Express Gen 2 Switch
with 6 PCI Express ports specifically designed to meet high
performance and the latest GREEN low-power, lead (Pb)-free
system requirements, such as Network, Embedded, Storage
and other platforms. The name of the family, GreenPacket
TM
,
refers to Pericom proprietary power saving technology.
The PI7C9X2G606PR provides one upstream port supporting x1,
and 5 downstream ports that support x1 operation. The flexible
upstream port provides users the flexibility to expand or fan-out
from a wide range of x86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC SoC/ Chipset,
and it is a suitable solution for wired/ wireless Networking,
Switch router, Embedded, Storage, HBA, Surveillance, Combo
card and other applications.
