PLX ExpressLane™ PCI Express (PCIe)
Product family offers fully configurable switches with Non-Transparent bridge function and forward/reverse bridges. Our PCIe switches and bridges are fully-compliant with the PCI Express Base 1.0a, 1.1 and 2.0 specifications.
Lattice provides customers with low cost and low power programmable solutions that are ready-to-use right out of the box. For PCI Express a full suite of tested and interoperable solutions is available
Oxford Semiconductor products focus on data exchange and backup with resource sharing. The four product categories are storage (DAS/NAS), serial connectivity, USB connectivity, and PCI Express. The company is headquartered in San Jose, CA, has a design centre in Abingdon, UK and sales support offices worldwide.
Oxford’s storage controller portfolio is the broadest in the industry. The Oxford devices were the industry's first to offer combination interfacing, multi-disk RAID capability and built-in hardware encryption engines.
The serial connectivity solutions give the best compromise of rapid product development, power consumption and endpoint/bridge solution cost. Oxford offers a suite of royalty-free & certified device drivers for popular operating systems, evaluation boards, reference designs and dedicated customer support. The Expresso family of PCI Express to multi-serial port and parallel port expansion devices offers cost-effective solutions for a wide range of endpoint applications.
Zigbee / Mesh Technology
Mesh communication is a truly novel technique to install site-wide wireless coverage throughout a facility without the need for dedicated base stations or routers. Each wireless sensor and actuator device acts as a router for neighbour devices. Self-installation, self-healing and redundant communication paths result from the mesh topology. GreenPeak offers this mesh communication along with the ZigBee standard.
GreenPeak Low Power Routing
In addition, and unlike competitive mesh solutions, GreenPeak offers its unique and patented Low-Power-Routing (LPR) communication stack. With the LPR stack, none of the devices require powering from the mains power supply, allowing for battery or even energy-harvested operation. This is achieved by using smart power-up/power-down and synchronization techniques that enable all mesh nodes to operate in a low-power mode without a battery or power cabling.
Self-Forming & Self-Healing Mesh Networks
The GreenPeak wireless network technology is designed for easy installation. Once a node is powered, it will automatically link to the wireless network. This ‘plug and play’ approach enables every technician to execute a 100% correct installation without the need to understand technical aspects of setting up a wireless network.
ISM-RF
RF evaluation boards allow the designer to implement a design quickly and efficiently. Solutions for 433/868MHZ and 2.4GHZ are included.
