The PI7C9X2G series PCI Express 2.0 GEN2 packet switch family feature an integrated clock buffer, configurable lanes, the industries smallest package, and advanced power savings and management features.
The chips have three different port and lane-count configurations: a 4-Port/4-Lane (PI7C9X2G404SL), 3-Port/4-Lane (PI7C9X2G304SL), and a 3-Port/3-Lane (PI7C9X2G303EL). The PI7C2G304SL offers configurable upstream PCIe lane width (x1 or x2). The PI7C2G303EL is offered in a small 8 x 8-mm aQFN package. ($5.25 to $5.50 ea/10,000 — samples available now.)
