Where These Devices Are Used
These Broadcom PCIe switches are commonly considered for compact PCIe expansion, industrial control boards, test equipment, network hardware, storage systems and long-life embedded platforms. Lower-lane devices such as PEX8608, PEX8606 and PEX8604 are useful when the design only needs several PCIe endpoints and compact package size.
Selection Guide
Use PEX8636 or PEX8625 for designs that need many ports. Use PEX8632 for 32-lane, 12-port applications. Use PEX8624 for 24-lane, 6-port compact designs. Use PEX8608, PEX8606 or PEX8604 for small PCIe expansion applications with limited board space and lower power requirements.
