e PI7C1401 is a SPI/I C Quad Port Expander, it’s specifical-
ly designed to manage common port types such as SFP+ and
QSFP+. e PI7C1401 provides an I C/SPI interface, an inter-
ꢀÎSupport Low-speed signals management and I C aggregation
across four ports
2
ꢀÎSupport multiple PI7C1401s to control high-port-count
2
through a single host interface
rupt output to host and four I C interfaces, general purpose pins
2
for low-speed control signals to the modules. e PI7C1401 can
be used a wide range of applications such as Networking, Tele-
com, Storage, Embedded. e typical usage for this device is
high volume applications requiring an “expander” to aggregate
ꢀÎSelectable I C(up to 1Mhz) or SPI(up to 33Mhz) host control
interface
ꢀÎAutomatic pre-fetching of critical, user-specified data from
the modules and stored into internal 32 Byte FIFO
2
all low-speed control and I C signals across four ports and pres-
ꢀÎAdvanced LED features for port status indication, including
2
ents a single I C or SPI interface to host. Multiple PI7C1401s can
programmable blinking and dimming
2
be used in high-port-count applications with one I C or SPI to
ꢀÎSupport standard SFF-8431, SFF-8472, SFF-8436, SFF-8679,
host. e system BOM cost can be cut by using smaller IO count
control devices(FPGAs, CPLDs, MCUs) and by reducing routing
layer congestion.
INF-8074 and other such low-speed electrical interfaces,
2
including a dedicated 100/400Khz I C interface to each port
ꢀÎCustomizable events which trigger an interrupt to the host
ꢀÎBroadcast Mode allows writes to all ports simultaneously
ꢀÎSeparate host-side I/O voltage: 1.8V to 3.3V
