DS160PR810: Can a single DS160PR810 be configured as a dual x2 PCIe link?

Part Number: DS160PR810
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS160PR410

In the DS160PR810 manual, two DS160PR810 devices can be configured as a Dual X4 PCIe Link.,Can a single DS160PR810 be configured as a dual x2 PCIe link?

  • Hi Jason,

    Using 1x DS160PR810, this is in theory possible. However, high speed trace routing may become a concern, as each of these devices are uni-directional. Vias will most likely be needed.

    DS160PR410 may also be suitable for x2, though the same concern about high speed trace routing applies.

    Best,
    David
