Announcing the Industry’s First Twelve Port Switch and Eight New Devices for Applications Ranging from Servers to Consumer Products

IDT has expanded its PRECISE family of high performance, low power, small footprint PCI Express switches to the market.

Targeting server and storage applications and providing high performance I/O connectivity expansion, the IDT PRECISE family of PCI Express solutions enables feature rich, cost effective system design.

The company’s initial offering were two devices designed to reduce the cost per Gigabyte of switching bandwidth. IDT has been offering a pair of 3 port PCI Express switches in 12 lane and 24 lane configurations. The IDT PCI Express switches provide I/O expansion to fill the gap created by north bridge devices with limited high performance I/O connectivity. IDT has now introduced a larger portfolio of I/O fanout switches, which support up to 12 ports and up to 48 lanes to support varying system configurations, and provide our customers with an optimized price/performance for their systems.

IDT offers a complete family of PCI Express switches to meet a variety of applications in the server, storage and communications markets. By providing a complete family of switches with varying lane and port counts, system engineers can optimize their system performance and cost.

 

FEATURES Cut through switching architecture Minimized latency through the switch <180nS Support for a large number of flow control credits 32/32/32 for posted, non-posted and completion credits Configurable architecture for design flexibility Per port auto width negotiation (x8, x4, x2, x1) Support for lane and polarity reversal 2KByte maximum payload size (MPS) PCI Express base specification 1.1 compliant Low power 20% to 50% lower than the competition Small footprint Up to 25% smaller than competitive offerings

APPLICATIONS Server and storage applications Communications Industrial and consumer applications

 

IDT’s Serial Switching division has extensively tested the PRECISE family with a large variety of motherboards, north bridge devices, PCI Express endpoints and operating systems to ensure that customers will be able to bring their products to market quickly.
