Gen 4 Automotive Qualified PCle Switches Provide Low-Latency, Low-Power, and High-Performance Connectivity for ADAS Designs

Microchip Technology Inc. has announced the launch of new Gen 4 automotive-qualified PCIe switches that provide the high-speed interconnect which supports distributed, real-time, safety-critical data processing in ADAS architectures.  These Switchtec PFX, PSX, and PAX switch solutions offer high-density, high-reliability solutions for data center, storage, automotive, communications, defense, industrial, and a wide range of other applications.

Switchtec PFX fanout PCIe switches enable PCIe solutions for a wide variety of systems by offering simple hardware configuration and advanced comprehensive diagnostics and debug capabilities. These switches feature up to 100 lanes, 52 ports, 48 Non-Transparent Bridges (NTBs), and 26 virtual switch partitions.

The Switchtec PSX programmable PCIe switch is a customer-programmable PCIe switch enabling advanced capabilities to differentiate your end products. Building on the PFX’s PCIe switch feature set, the PSX provides a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the custom development of unique solutions.

Switchtec PAX advanced fabric PCIe switches provide high-performance fabric connectivity for low-latency and cost-effective solutions to the disaggregation of computing, networking, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and NVMe storage resources.
