• Obsolete Manufacturer Lifecycle Status - No Longer in Active Production

The PEX8606-BA50BI G is a Broadcom PCI bus controller implemented in CMOS and supplied in a 196-ball PBGA package with 1mm ball pitch. It is rated for the -40C to +85C industrial temperature range with a maximum seated height of 1.9mm, and is RoHS compliant. Broadcom has moved this device to Obsolete lifecycle status, so it is no longer in active production and supply comes from remaining distributor and excess inventory. Bus controllers of this type provide the fan-out and bridging logic that lets a single upstream host port serve several downstream endpoints on a board.

Bus controllers and bridges in this class sit between a host root port and multiple downstream slots or on-board endpoints, and are found in embedded single-board computers, industrial and machine-vision backplanes, medical imaging systems, military and avionics processing cards, storage controllers and test and measurement chassis. Because the device is obsolete but the systems around it are long-lived, replacement demand is driven by field failures and end-of-life buys rather than new designs. Buyers are typically MRO and sustaining-engineering teams, defense and industrial primes with active support contracts, and OEMs performing last-time-buy sourcing through independent distribution.
