Device Overview
PCI Express® switching solutions. The PES48H12G2 is a 48-lane, 12-
port system interconnect switch optimized for PCI Express Gen2 packet
switching in high-performance applications, supporting multiple simulta-
neous peer-to-peer traffic flows. Target applications include servers,
storage, communications, embedded systems, and multi-host or intelli-
gent I/O based systems with inter-domain communication.
provides the most efficient system interconnect switching solution for
applications requiring high throughput, low latency, and simple board
layout with a minimum number of board layers. Each lane is capable of 5
GT/s of bandwidth in both directions and is fully compliant with PCI
Express Base specification 2.0.
