Part of the Expresso family of high performance PCI

Express devices, the OXPCIe200 is a single chip

multi-port bridge with a rich set of connectivity ports

and advanced system management to maximize data

throughput while substantially reducing CPU and

system loading.

A fully integrated, single lane PCI Express endpoint

controller and SerDes enables host system access to

USB2.0 host, SPI and SRAM ports, a PLX

Technology’s ultra high performance Oxford 950

UART, plus user defined GPIOs/PWMs. The device

is configurable as dual USB host ports or one USB2.0

host port & one SPI or SRAM port providing a high

throughput communication path from a PCI Express

host system to a slave processor or peripherals.

Complete with the Oxide development tools and

certified device drivers, the OXPCIe200 is easy to

design-in and the ideal connectivity solution for a

diverse range of products including: inter-processor

communication, device control, I/O expansion and

multi-modem ExpressCard modules.

Accelerate your product development and time to

market with Oxide and PLX Technology’s easy to

design-in, high performance serial connectivity

solutions that just work.
