PLX Technology PEX8114
PCI Express to PCI Bridge
FEATURES
ExpressLane™ PCI Express-to-PCI/PCI-X Bridge Flexible, High-Performance Bridge in a Small Package The PLX Technology ExpressLane PEX 8114 is a high performance bridge that enables designers to migrate legacy PCI and PCI-X bus interfaces to the new advanced serial PCI Express™ interface. This flexible device supports forward, reverse and non-transparent bridging. The bridge is equipped with a standard, but flexible PCI Express port that scales to x1, x2 or x4 lanes with a maximum of 1 Gigabyte per second of throughput per transmit and receive direction. With four 2.5 Gbps integrated SerDes, the standard PCI Express signaling delivers the highest bandwidth with the lowest possible pin count using LVDS technology. The ExpressLane PEX 8114 has a single parallel bus segment supporting the advanced PCI-X protocol, with a 64-bit wide parallel data path running at 133MHz. The bridge also supports conventional PCI operation. GENERAL FEATURES
