Profile: P L X Technology, Inc. specializes in PCI express switches, bridges and 10GBase-T PHY solutions. We also provide storage controllers and general purpose USB controllers. We offer fully configurable switches with non-transparent bridge function and forward/reverse bridges. Our PCIe switches and bridges are fully-compliant with the PCI express base specifications. The ExpressLane™ PEX 8748 is a 48-lane, 12-port, PCIe Gen 3 switch device developed on 40nm technology. PEX 8748 offers multi-host PCI express switching capability that enables users to connect multiple hosts to their respective endpoints via scalable, high-bandwidth, non-blocking interconnection to a wide variety of applications including servers, storage, communications & graphics platforms. The PEX 8748 is well suited for fan-out, aggregation, and peer-to-peer traffic patterns. Included is PLX's proprietary visionPAK debug software, which allows, for example, internal receive-eye observation after equalization and access to the devices' internal debug registers thus enabling faster time to market. The ExpressLane™ PEX 8112 is a bridge designed to the PCI express-to-PCI bridge specification 1.0, that enables designers to migrate legacy PCI bus interfaces to the new advanced serial PCI express. This 2-port device is equipped with a single lane PCI express port and a parallel bus segment supporting the conventional PCI operation. The PEX 8112 is capable of operating in forward and reverse bridging modes. The PEX 8112 is offered in a 10 x 10mm 161-ball FPBGA or a 13 x 13mm 144-ball PBGA. This device is available in both the lead-free FPBGA package and leaded or lead-free PBGA package.
