Architectural Overview
Introduction
This section provides a high level architectural overview of the PES48T12G2. An architectural block
diagram of the PES48T12G2 is shown in .
The PES48H12G2 contains twelve x4 ports labeled port 0 through port 13 (omitting ports 10 and 11
which do not exist in this device). An even port
n
and its odd counterpart, port
n+1
, may be merged to
create a single x8 port.
–
When ports are merged, the odd numbered port is not logically visible in the PCI Express hier-
archy associated with the port.
All ports support 2.5 GT/s (i.e., Gen1) and 5.0 GT/s (i.e., Gen2) operation.
At a high level, the PES48H12G2 consists of ports and a switch core. A port consists of a logic that
performs functions associated with the physical, data link, and transactions layers described in the PCIe
base 2.0 specification. In addition, a port performs switch application layer functions such as TLP routing
using route map tables, processing configuration read and write requests, etc.
The switch core is responsible for transferring TLPs between ports. Its main functions are: input buff-
ering, maintaining per port ingress and egress flow control information, port and VC arbitration, scheduling,
and forwarding TLPs between ports.
Since the PES48H12G2 represents a single architecture optimized for both fan-out and system inter-
connect applications, its switch core is based on a non-blocking crossbar.
