Broadcom PCIe Switch - Broadcom -Macnica

PCIe Switch Overview

Broadcom is a global leader in the PCI Express switch market, boasting over 1 billion ports shipped and driving the evolution of next-generation data centers.
Modern data centers demand maximum performance, low power consumption, and high reliability. Broadcom 's PCIe switches are designed to meet these needs and feature the following characteristics:

• High performance, low latency, low power consumption
• Flexible configuration and high scalability
Features that support high reliability

Furthermore, by combining Broadcom switches and retimers, the number of slots can be increased by 40 %, enabling large-scale configurations while maintaining signal quality.
With 50 % lower power consumption compared to other solutions on the market, it enables the construction of state-of-the-art subsystems using mid / backplanes and cables.

Main features

• Wide range of products: Supports from Gen3 to the latest Gen6 (Gen7 and 8 are also planned).
• Proprietary SerDes technology: Ensures hardware compatibility and extends range by 40 %.
• Industry-leading number of lanes & low power consumption design: 50 % less than competitors
• Flexible port configuration: Supports complex system architectures, including port configurations and clocks.
• Multi-host connection: Supports configurations with multiple CPUs.
• Advanced diagnostic features: Broadcom's proprietary embedded logic analyzer (Gen5 and later) supports evaluation and verification.
