PCI Express switches cut power
consumption
The industry's broadest range of PCI Express switches is optimised to solve system I/O connectivity challenges.
Integrated Device Technology has released what it claims to be the industry's broadest range of PCI Express (PCIe) switches optimised to solve system I/O connectivity challenges Now offering 10 PCIe switches, the IDT Precise family offers the lowest power consuming devices available in the market today and reduces the overall total cost of ownership by significantly minimising system thermal management requirements

IP coprocessors provide flexible search width
IDT has released its first commercially available Internet protocol coprocessor product portfolio that enables up to OC-768 wire speed to support ever-increasing packet processing requirements.
The new switches are optimised to address the I/O connectivity challenges faced by systems ranging from high end servers, storage and communications equipment to industrial and consumer applications.
Using a highly innovative architecture, the switches maximise data throughput performance to achieve not only the lowest power consumption per lane, but also the highest performance per watt, of any PCIe switch currently available today.
The new devices are PCI Express 1.1 compliant and deploy the industry's broadest range of lane/port configurations, providing customers with a wide range of system design choices.
The Precise family delivers switching bandwidth of 24Gbyte/s for the 48-lane/12-port switch.
At the low-end, the eight-lane/five-port switch delivers 4Gbyte/s throughput.
Key design decisions, such as support for up to 2Kbyte payloads, large internal buffers and a significant number of flow control credits enable these switches to offer maximum throughput.
Each member of the Precise family has a dedicated evaluation and development kit for device testing and analysis, and system emulation.
Each kit consists of a hardware evaluation board with representative upstream and downstream connectivity, and an IDT-developed, GUI-based software environment that enables the designer to tune system and device configurations to meet system requirements.
Moreover, to ensure that each OEM system design is optimised for production and meets its time to market objectives, IDT provides customers with extensive, collaborative technical support including system modelling and signal integrity analyses, and schematic and layout review services.
