Chapter 9
Transparent Mode Operation
Introduction
This chapter discusses the operation of Port A. The following chapter, Chapter 11, discusses Port C
which is configured as a non-transparent port. When the PES16NT2 is configured during a fundamental
reset to operate in transparent mode or transparent mode with serial EEPROM initialization, the device
functionally operates as illustrated in Figure 9.1. In this mode, the PES16NT2 may logically viewed as
consisting of two PCI-PCI transparent bridges, one per port, and an internal virtual PCI bus.
Associated with each port is a 4 KB configuration space and a Type 1 configuration header. The organi-
zation of these configuration spaces is described in section section Port Configuration Space Organization
on page 9-5. The functional operation of the PES16NT2 in transparent mode is fully consistent with that
described in the PCI Express® Base Specification, revision 1.0a for a three port switch.
Figure 9.1 PES16NT2 Functional Block Diagram in Transparent Mode
As shown in Figure 9.1, port A is configured as the upstream port and port C as the downstream port.
Port C resides on the internal PCI Bus at Device 1, Function 0.
