PI7C9X20303ULAZPE Application Field and Working Principle

Interface - Specialized

The PI7C9X20303ULAZPE is a low power, small form factor, high performance, single-channel PCI Express (PCIe) bridging device. It is highly integrated and requires minimal external components for implementation. It supports PCIe kux link specificationV2.0 and continues many features of its popular PI7C9X20303UL predecessor, such as 900 mil pis pin-out compliant with PI7C9X20303UL. The PI7C9X20303ULAZPE holds the same power savings, performance, and compatibility benefits as the PI7C9X20303UL while providing enhanced PCIe interconnectivity and extendibility.

PI7C9X20303ULAZPE is commonly used in many applications that require remote control of, or communication with, computer systems. It is ideal for applications where a PCIe based link is needed, such as on a remote computer to the system CPU, or between two remote computers, or for connection to a PCIe-based memory or device. This device supports one port for up to lane PCIe x4 with rates of up to 5.0Gbps and peak data rates of up to 5.8Gbps, making it suitable for applications that require high-speed, low power, or low latency data transfers.

Data can be sent and received by the PI7C9X20303ULAZPE via the PCI Express interface. The device includes an integrated PCIE endpoint, dual clock generator and arbiter components, and integrated support for AMBA and VCAP interfaces. The device also includes three on-chip FIFO buffers (32-bit wide) and supports a maximum payload of 4Kbytes. The parser engine and PHY components help ensure that data is transferred without error and with minimal power consumption.

The PI7C9X20303ULAZPE supports PCIe link training in PCIe version 2.0. It allows PCIe devices to configure and maintain the correct transfer rates for specific system topologies, including the default mode, link latency and the number of supported PCIe lanes. The device also supports power management and hot-plugging, allowing PCI Express devices to enter and exit power saving states to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, Virtual Capsules (VCAP) are available to facilitate connection of the PI7C9X20303ULAZPE to embedded and communications systems that require direct access to a low power, high speed data bus.

The PI7C9X20303ULAZPE is a versatile, reliable and low cost solution for embedded applications, such as communications and medical systems, industrial automation, automotive, consumer electronics and networking, that require high performance PCIe links. Its compact design and power optimization capabilities make it a popular choice in the embedded industry.
