The PEX8718 is a high-performance PCIe Gen3 switch featuring 16 lanes and 5 ports. It supports Multi-Host PCI Express switching, enabling the connection of multiple hosts to endpoints via a non-blocking fabric. It utilizes an enhanced architecture allowing for legacy single-host or multi-host modes with up to two host ports via Non-Transparent (NT) bridging. Key features include packet cut-thru with 154ns latency, support for payloads up to 2048 bytes, end-to-end CRC (ECRC) protection, and integrated clock synthesis.
