PES12N3 chip, and it can also play an important role for customers to get a headstart on software development while they await the arrival of their own hardware. It is also used inside IDT to reproduce system level hardware or software issues reported by customers. Figure 1.1 illustrates the functional block diagram representing the main parts of the EB12N3 board.

IDT Installation of the EB12N3 Eval Board Reference Clocks Reference Clocks Notes The EB12N3 requires two differential reference clocks. The EB12N3 drives both of these clocks from a common source. The source for the reference clock is user-selectable between the host system’s reference clock and the onboard clock generator.
IDT Installation of the EB12N3 Eval Board Power Sources Power Sources Notes The EB12N3 and all attached endpoint cards are powered entirely by the host system through the upstream PCI Express edge connector. In general, this is sufficient and there is no need for an external power-source.

IDT Installation of the EB12N3 Eval Board Reset Reset Notes The PES12N3 supports two types of reset mechanisms as described in the PCI Express specifications: Fundamental Reset: This is a system generated reset that propagates along the PCI Express tree through a single side-band signal PERST#, connected to the Root Complex, the PES12N3 and the endpoints.
IDT Installation of the EB12N3 Eval Board Boot Configuration Vector Notes Boot Configuration Vector Signals Signal Description RSTHALT Reset Halt. When this signal is asserted during a PCI Express fundamental reset, the PES12N3 executes the reset procedure and remains in a reset state with the Master and Slave SMBuses active.

PCIe parts from IDT. Users once familiar with the GUI will be able to use the same GUI on all PCIe parts from IDT. Use of the software is customized for each device through a XML device description file which include information on number of ports, registers, types of registers, information on bit-fields within each register, etc.
