The PEX8750 is well suited for fan-out, aggregation, and peer-to-peer applications. Multi-Host Architecture The PEX8750 employs an enhanced architecture, which allows users to configure the device in legacy single-host mode or multi-host mode with up to three host ports capable of 1+1 (one active & one backup) or N+1 (N active & one backup) host failover. This powerful architectural enhancement enables users to build PCIe based systems to support high-availability, failover, redundant and clustered systems. High Performance & Low Packet Latency The PEX8750 architecture supports packet cut-thru with a maximum latency of 150ns (x16 to x16). This, combined with large packet memory, flexible common buffer/FC credit pool and non-blocking internal switch architecture, provides full line rate on all ports for performance-hungry applications such as servers and switch fabrics. The low latency enables applications to achieve high throughput and performance. In addition to low latency, the device supports a packet payload size of up to 2048 bytes, enabling the user to achieve even higher throughput. Data Integrity The PEX8750 provides end-to-end CRC (ECRC) protection and Poison bit support to enable designs that require end-to-end data integrity. PLX also supports data path parity and memory (RAM) error correction circuitry throughout the internal data paths as packets pass through the switch. Flexible Configuration The PEX8750’s 12 ports can be configured to lane widths of x4, x8, or x16. Flexible buffer allocation, along with the device's flexible packet flow control, maximizes throughput for applications where more traffic flows in the downstream, rather than upstream, direction. Any port can be designated as the upstream port, which can be changed dynamically. Figure 1 shows some of the PEX8750’s common port configurations in legacy Single-Host mode. The PEX8750 can also be configured in Multi-Host mode where users can choose up to four ports as host/upstream ports and assign a desired number of downstream ports to each host. In Multi-Host mode, a virtual switch is created for each host port and its associated downstream ports inside the device. The traffic between the ports of a virtual switch is completely isolated from the traffic in other virtual switches. Figure 2 illustrates some configurations of the PEX8750 in Multi-Host mode where each ellipse represents a virtual switch inside the device. © PLX Technology, www.plxtech.com Page 1 of 5 10Sep12; v1.0 PEX8750, PCI Express Gen3 Switch, 48 Lanes, 12 Ports The PEX8750 also provides several ways to configure its registers. The device can be configured through strapping pins, I2C interface, host software, or an optional serial EEPROM. This allows for easy debug during the development phase, performance monitoring during the operation phase, and driver or software upgrade. Dual-Host & Failover Support In Single-Host mode, the PEX8750 supports a NonTransparent (NT) Port, which enables the implementation of dual-host systems for redundancy and host failover capability. The NT port allows systems to isolate host memory domains by presenting the processor subsystem as an endpoint rather than another memory system. Base address registers are used to translate addresses; doorbell registers are used to send interrupts between the address domains; and scratchpad registers (accessible by both CPUs) allow interprocessor communication (see Figure 3). Multi-Host & Failover Support In Multi-Host mode, PEX8750 can be configured with up to three upstream host ports, each with its own dedicated downstream ports. The device can be configured for 1+1 redundancy or N+1 redundancy. The PEX8750 allows the hosts to communicate their status to each other via special door-bell registers. In failover mode, if a host fails, the host designated for failover will disable the upstream port attached to the failing host and program the downstream ports of that host to its own domain. Figure 4a shows a two host system in MultiHost mode with two virtual switches inside the device and Figure 4b shows Host 1 disabled after failure and Host 2 having taken over all of Host 1’s end-points. © PLX Technology, www.plxtech.com Hot-Plug for High Availability Hot plug capability allows users to replace hardware modules and perform maintenance without powering down the system. The PEX8750 Hot-Plug capability feature makes it suitable for High Availability (HA) applications. Four downstream ports include a Standard Hot Plug Controller. If the PEX8750 is used in an application where one or more of its downstream ports connect to PCI Express slots, each port’s Hot-Plug Controller can be used to manage the Hot-Plug event of its associated slot. Every port on the PEX8750 is equipped with a Hot-Plug control/status register to support Hot-Plug capability through external logic via the I2C interface. SerDes Power and Signal Management The PEX8750 supports software control of the SerDes outputs to allow optimization of power and signal strength in a system. The PLX SerDes implementation supports four levels of power – off, low, typical, and high. The SerDes block also supports loop-back modes and advanced reporting of error conditions, which enables efficient management of the entire system. Interoperability The PEX8750 is designed to be fully compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification r3.0, and is backwards compatible to PCI Express Base Specification r1.1 and r1.0a. Additionally, it supports auto-negotiation, lane reversal, and polarity reversal. Furthermore, the PEX8750 is tested for Microsoft Windows Logo compliance. All PLX switches undergo thorough interoperability testing in PLX’s Interoperability Lab and compliance testing at the PCI-SIG plug-fest. Page 2 of 5 10Sep12; v1.0 PEX8750, PCI Express Gen3 Switch, 48 Lanes, 12 Ports performancePAKTM Exclusive to PLX, performancePAK is a suite of unique and innovative performance features which allows PLX’s Gen 3 switches to be the highest performing Gen 3 switches in the market today. The performancePAK features consists of Multicast, and Dynamic Buffer Pool. SSC Isolation The PEX8750 employs a multi-clock domain which allows the user to terminate Spread Spectrum Clock enabled domains. Terminating the SSC clock removes the need to pass a common clock across a backplane. The PEX8750 supports SSC isolation on all of its ports. visionPAKTM Another PLX exclusive, visionPAK is a debug diagnostics suite of integrated hardware and software instruments that users can use to help bring their systems to market faster. visionPAK features consist of Performance Monitoring, SerDes Eye Capture, Error Injection, SerDes Loopback, and more. Performance Monitoring The PEX8750’s real time performance monitoring allows users to literally “see” ingress and egress performance on each port as traffic passes through the switch using PLX’s Software Development Kit (SDK). The monitoring is completely passive and therefore has no affect on overall system performance. Internal counters provide extensive granularity down to traffic & packet type and even allows for the filtering of traffic (i.e. count only Memory Writes). SerDes Eye Capture Users can evaluate their system’s signal integrity at the physical layer using the PEX8750’s SerDes Eye Capture feature. Using PLX’s SDK, users can view the receiver eye of any lane on the switch. Users can then modify SerDes settings and see the impact on the receiver eye. Figure 5 shows a screenshot of the SerDes Eye Capture feature in the SDK. Figure 5. SerDes Eye Capture Error Injection & SerDes Loopback Using the PEX8750’s Error Injection feature, users can inject malformed packets and/or fatal errors into their system and evaluate a system’s ability to detect and recover from such errors. The PEX8750 also supports Internal Tx, External Tx, Recovered Clock, and Recovered Data Loopback modes. Applications Suitable for host-centric as well as peer-to-peer traffic patterns, the PEX8750 can be configured for a wide variety of form factors and applications. Host Centric Fan-out The PEX8750, with its symmetric or asymmetric lane configuration capability, allows user-specific tuning to a variety of host-centric applications. Figure 6 shows a server design where, in a quad or multi processor system, users can assign endpoints/slots to CPU cores to distribute the system load. The packets directed to different CPUs will go to different (user assigned) PEX8750 upstream ports, allowing better queuing and load balancing capability for higher performance. Figure 6. Host Centric Dual Upstream © PLX Technology, www.plxtech.com Page 3 of 5 10Sep12; v1.0 PEX8750, PCI Express Gen3 Switch, 48 Lanes, 12 Ports Multi-Host Systems In multi-host mode, the PEX8750 can support up to three hosts at once. By creating three virtual switches, the PEX8750 allows three hosts to fan-out to their respective endpoints. This reduces the number of switches required for fan-out, saving precious board space and power. In Figure 7, the PEX8750 is being shared by three different CPU cores (hosts) on three servers, with each CPU core running its own applications (I/Os). The PEX8750 assigns the endpoints to the appropriate host and isolates them from the other hosts. In Figure 7, the endpoints are assigned to the CPU core of the same color. Figure 7. Multi-Host System Host Failover The PEX8750 can also be utilized in applications where host failover is required. In the below application (Figure 9), two hosts may be active simultaneously and controlling their own domains while exchange status information through doorbell registers or I2C interface. The devices can be programmed to trigger fail-over if the heartbeat information is not provided. In the event of a failure, the surviving device will reset the endpoints connected to the failing CPU and enumerate them in its own domain without impacting the operation of endpoints already in its domain. Figure 9. Host Fail-Over © PLX Technology, www.plxtech.com Page 4 of 5 10Sep12; v1.0 PEX8750, PCI Express Gen3 Switch, 48 Lanes, 12 Ports Software Usage Model From a system model viewpoint, each PCI Express port is a virtual PCI to PCI bridge device and has its own set of PCI Express configuration registers. It is through the upstream port that the BIOS or host can configure the other ports using standard PCI enumeration. The virtual PCI to PCI bridges within the PEX8750 are compliant to the PCI and PCI Express system models. The Configuration Space Registers (CSRs) in a virtual primary/secondary PCI to PCI bridge are accessible by type 0 configuration cycles through the virtual primary bus interface (matching bus number, device number, and function number). Interrupt Sources/Events The PEX8750 switch supports the INTx interrupt message type (compatible with PCI 2.3 Interrupt signals) or Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) when enabled. Interrupts/messages are generated by PEX8750 for hot plug events, doorbell interrupts, baseline error reporting, and advanced error reporting.
