Stargen SG2PCI64-X1 Peripheral Chip - N100/240 AC, 2"/ 5 OUT, NPN, TR Simple Type: Peripheral & Accessory for CPU Board

The StarGen SG2010 is a PCI peripheral chip that bridges StarFabric’s serial interface to PCI devices for communication and embedded systems. The SG2010 expands the capabilities of PCI by providing higher levels of scalability and reliability to PCI based systems, along with the advanced features of StarFabric. Working in conjunction with the SG1010 StarFabric Switch, the SG2010 supports flexible topologies that can be designed to fit specific application bandwidth, reliability, and endpoint or slot requirements. System designers are able to support next generation system requirements while maintaining their investments in peripherals, applications, and software. The SG2010 is a multifunction device. Unlike a traditional PCI peripheral, the SG2010 supports both address routing as well as path and multicast routing. A PCI-to-PCI bridge function in the SG2010 supports legacy address routed traffic, which provides 100% compatibility with PCI drivers, application software, BIOS, OSs, configuration code, etc. The interconnect looks like a collection of PCI-to-PCI bridges. The Gateway function of the SG2010 is used to enable the fabric’s advanced features, such as path routing, class of service, bandwidth selection, redundancy for fail-over path routing, and channels. Additional software is necessary to take advantage of these advanced features. StarGen provides a set of software enablers to minimize this effort. System designers can choose their rate of migration to these advanced features.
