• The PEX 8112 supports forward and reverse bridging as defined by the PCI to PCI Express / PCI-X Bridge Specification 1.0
• In forward mode, the bridge allows legacy PCI chips and adapters to be used with new PCI Express processor systems. Reverse Bridge operation allows legacy PCI processors and chipsets to configure and control PCI Express switches and endpoints
• In contrast, the PEX 8112 not only allows complete configuration of downstream PCI Express systems from the PCI bus, but can also handle limited PCI Express root functions for reverse interrupt and power management events
