The PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.2 Switch is a customizable, multiport embedded switch for PCIe designed for ASIC implementations. It enables the connection of one upstream port and multiple downstream ports as a fully configurable interface subsystem. It is backward compatible to PCIe 5.0.
How the PCIe 6.2 Switch Works
The PCIe 6.2 Switch is the first embedded switch IP available on the market architected to be physically aware. The switch IP leverages configurable pipeline stages and a fully non-blocking multi-stage routing crossbar to enable implementation of embedded switch logic even in large chips with large physical separation between ports.
The PCIe switch IP transparently manages upstream-downstream data flow as well as peer-to-peer transfers between downstream ports, delivering the flexibility, scalability and configurability required for connecting multiple devices, including NVMe SSDs.
