Marvell has brought out the industry’s first 260-lane PCIe 6.0 switch. The Structera S PCIe 60260 switch is expected to begin sampling to customers in calendar Q3 2026. Engineering test samples of the switch are available now. Leveraging interconnect technology obtained through its recent acquisition of XConn Technologies, the switch extends the Marvell end-to-end PCIe portfolio. As AI servers integrate ...
Many electronic devices are produced modularly, connecting printed circuits using special connectors. Samtec supplies this type of sockets in various universal formats, suitable for THT and SMT mounting. The development of technology in the field of precision electronics is associated with the need to handle many power and communication lines. This is a significant challenge for engineers designing modular devices. ...
Aaeon has announced a Raptor Lake (13th Gen Intel Core) processor fan-less industrial PC with industrial-grade I/O and expansion slots for both PCI and PCIe. Called Boxer-6801-RAP, it “was designed with the aim of helping its customers modernise industrial set-ups, pairing advanced features such as multiple PoE LAN and NVMe storage support with both a PCIe and PCI slot for frame ...
One to note: a potential upgrade for a Raspberry Pi home computer setup. The Raspberry Pi team has released the M.2 HAT+ Compact.
Raspberry Pi has introduced a board that squeezes a 2230 M.2 PCI Express card slot alongside the fan in a Raspberry Pi 5 case – as well as the Raspberry Pi, of course. ‘M.2 HAT+ Compact’, as it will be known, therefore allows a 30mm NVMe SSDs to be fitted inside the case, or other 30mm PCI Express devices – ...
Diodes has introduced a 64Gtransfer/s PAM-4 intra-equipment range extender for PCIe 6.0 data busses, that is backwards-compatible with PCIe 5.0, 4.0 and 3.0. PI3EQX64904 is a four-differential-channel linear device with equalisation including tunable low and high-frequency and high-frequency zeros. “It optimises performance over a variety of physical media by reducing inter-symbol interference, correcting for known channel losses at the transmitter ...
Mouser is offering PCIe 5.0 cable-to-board connectors from Molex that provide 12 power pins and four signal pins. “These connectors comply with the latest PCIe CEM 5.0/6.0 specifications and support devices requiring AIC [ampere interrupting capacities] of up to 675W”, according to the distributor. The 600V (dc or peak ac) 9.5A power pins have 5mΩ resistance and suit 16 AWG ...
Spectrum Instrumentation has a new flagship PCIe card arbitrary waveform generator, capable of 10Gsample/s 2.5GHz outputs and 16bit vertical resolution. Called M5i.6357-x16, it can store up to 8Gsamples (16Gbyte) internally, and data can be streamed into it on-the-fly from the host CPU or GPU. “Each card comes with 2Gsample of on-board memory – 8Gsample is optional – and data transfer ...
Toshiba has created a pair of 32Gbit/s multiplexer/demultiplexer switches, intended to switch two differential pair signal paths, or four single-ended signal paths, between a single port on one side and two ports on the other. The devices are aimed at high speed serial busses including PCIe 5.0/4.0, CXL 2.0/1.0, USB4 Version 2.0, Gen3/Gen2, USB 3.2 Gen 2/Gen 1, Thunderbolt 4, ...
GaGe has filled out its line of PCIe digitiser boards – essentially ADCs for PCs – with three new dual-channel models: one with with 250MHz bandwidth and 14bit 500Msample/s sampling, and two 125MHz 250Msample/s models, one with 16bit resolution and the other 14bit. The “digitisers boast ENOB [effective number of bits] of ~11+ typical”, according to the company. Inputs are ...
