CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Efficient management of high-bandwidth data transfer and seamless communication between multiple devices or subsystems are critical in automotive, industrial and data center applications, making PCIe\u00ae<\/sup> switches an indispensable solution. They provide scalability, reliability and low-latency connectivity, which are crucial for handling the demanding workloads of modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP)<\/strong> today announces sample availability of the new PCI100x family of Switchtec\u2122 PCIe Gen 4.0 switches<\/strong><\/a> in variants to support packet switching and multi-host applications.<\/p>\n

The PCI1005 is a packet switch which expands a single host PCIe port to as many as six endpoints. The PCI1003 device enables multi-host connectivity through Non-Transparent Bridging (NTB) and is fully configurable to support from 4\u20138 ports. All devices are compliant with the PCI-SIG Gen5 specification and operate up to 16GT\/s. High-speed DMA is supported on all variants. Advanced Switchtec technology features include Automatic Error Reporting (AER), Downstream Port Containment (DPC) and Completion Timeout Synthesis (CTS). The PCI100x devices are available in wide temperature ranges including commercial (0\u00b0C to +70\u00b0C), industrial (\u221240\u00b0C to +85\u00b0C) and Automotive Grade 2 (\u221240\u00b0C to +105\u00b0C) ambient ratings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PCI100x family is a cost-effective solution that does not compromise on high performance and high reliability. It enables designers to now take advantage of PCIe switch capabilities for mass market automotive and embedded computing applications,\u201d said Charles Forni, vice president of Microchip\u2019s USB and networking business unit. \u201cIn addition to these connectivity solutions, customers can get many critical components from Microchip including timing, power management and sensors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Microchip\u2019s broad portfolio of PCIe switches provides high-density, low-power and reliable solutions for applications like data centers, GPU servers, SSD enclosures and embedded computing. The portfolio also includes Flashtec\u00ae<\/sup> NVMe\u00ae<\/sup> controllers and NVRAM drives, Ethernet PHYs and switches, timing solutions and Flash-based FPGAs and SoCs, supporting markets such as storage, automotive, industrial and communications.
