Product Description
Utilizing standard PCI Express interconnect, the PES12N3A
provides the most efficient I/O connectivity solution for applications
requiring high throughput, low latency, and simple board layout with a
minimum number of board layers. It provides connectivity for up to 3
ports across 12 integrated serial lanes. Each lane provides 2.5 Gbps of
bandwidth in both directions and is fully compliant with PCI Express
Base specification revision 1.1.
SMBus Interface
The PES12N3A contains two SMBus interfaces. The slave interface
provides full access to the configuration registers in the PES12N3A,
allowing every configuration register in the device to be read or written
by an external agent. The master interface allows the default configura-
tion register values of the PES12N3A to be overridden following a reset
with values programmed in an external serial EEPROM. The master
interface is also used by an external Hot-Plug I/O expander.
Six pins make up each of the two SMBus interfaces. These pins
consist of an SMBus clock pin, an SMBus data pin, and 4 SMBus
address pins. In the slave interface, these address pins allow the
SMBus address to which the device responds to be configured. In the
master interface, these address pins allow the SMBus address of the
serial configuration EEPROM from which data is loaded to be config-
ured. The SMBus address is set up on negation of PERSTN by
sampling the corresponding address pins. When the pins are sampled,
the resulting address is assigned as shown in Table 1.
As shown in Figure 2, the master and slave SMBuses may be used
in a unified or split configuration. In the unified configuration, shown in
Figure 2(a), the master and slave SMBuses are tied together and the
PES12N3A acts both as a SMBus master as well as a SMBus slave on
this bus. This requires that the SMBus master or processor that has
access to PES12N3A registers supports SMBus arbitration. In some
systems, this SMBus master interface may be implemented using
general purpose I/O pins on a processor or micro controller, and may
not support SMBus arbitration. To support these systems, the
PES12N3A may be configured to operate in a split configuration as
shown in Figure 2(b).
In the split configuration, the master and slave SMBuses operate as
two independent buses and thus multi-master arbitration is never
required. The PES12N3A supports reading and writing of the serial
EEPROM on the master SMBus via the slave SMBus, allowing in
system programming of the serial EEPROM.

Hot-Plug Interface
The PES12N3A supports PCI Express Hot-Plug on each downstream port. To reduce the number of pins required on the device, the PES12N3A
utilizes an external I/O expander, such as that used on PC motherboards, connected to the SMBus master interface. Following reset and configura-
tion, whenever the state of a Hot-Plug output needs to be modified, the PES12N3A generates an SMBus transaction to the I/O expander with the new
value of all of the outputs. Whenever a Hot-Plug input changes, the I/O expander generates an interrupt which is received on the IOEXPINTN input pin
(alternate function of GPIO) of the PES12N3A. In response to an I/O expander interrupt, the PES12N3A generates an SMBus transaction to read the
state of all of the Hot-Plug inputs from the I/O expander.
General Purpose Input/Output
The PES12N3A provides eight General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins that may be used by the system designer as bit I/O ports. Each GPIO
pin may be configured independently as an input or output through software control. Some GPIO pins are shared with other on-chip functions. These
alternate functions may be enabled via software, SMBus slave interface, or serial configuration EEPROM.
The PES12N3A is based on a flexible and efficient layered architecture. The PCI Express layer consists of SerDes, Physical, Data Link and Trans-
action layers in compliance with PCI Express Base specification Revision 1.1. The PES12N3A can operate either as a store and forward or cut-
through switch and is designed to switch memory and I/O transactions. It supports eight Traffic Classes (TCs) and one Virtual Channel (VC) with
sophisticated resource management to enable efficient switching and I/O connectivity for servers, storage, and embedded applications.

Pin Description
The following tables list the functions of the pins provided on the PES12N3A. Some of the functions listed may be multiplexed onto the same pin.
The active polarity of a signal is defined using a suffix. Signals ending with an “N” are defined as being active, or asserted, when at a logic zero (low)
level. All other signals (including clocks, buses, and select lines) will be interpreted as being active, or asserted, when at a logic one (high) level.
Note:
In the PES12N3A, the two downstream ports are labeled port 2 and port 4.
