V2U3X4-PCIE4XE315

The V2U3X4-PCIE4XE315 is a Quad channel USB 3.0 to PCI Express x4 Gen 2 Host Adapter.
V2U3X4-PCIE4XE315 is designed with Two key components.
- 8-Lane, 6-Port PCI Express Switch.
- PCI Express to USB 3.0 Single Chip Host Controller (FRESCO FL1100, USB IF TID 380000026).

Utilizing the standard PCI Express Switch, the 8-Lane/6-Port PCI Express Switch provides the most efficient fan-out solution for integrating four PCI Express to USB 3.0 Single Chip Host controllers into a small board design. Each USB 3.0 to PCI Express Single Chip Host controller takes advantages of 5 Gbps burst rate of 4-lane PCI Express bus in both directions and is fully compliant with PCI Express Base specification r2.0. This solution provides full PCI Express and USB 3.0 functionality and performance.

| USB Bus Power Input | 12V Step-Down to 5V from either PCIe 12V or Power Connector 12V (ATA 4-pin or SATA 15-pin) The USB Bus power (5V) are step-down from 12V and the 12V input might from either PCIe Edge Connector or Auxiliary Power Connectors (J1 & J2). Note: If the PCIe Slot can’t supply 12V current high enough then you have to attach the Auxiliary Power from either J1 (ATA 4-pin) or J2 (SATA 15-pin). |
Computer with PCI Express slot ( x4, x8, x16)
Note:
For the best performance (5.0 Gbps), U3X4-PCIE4XE315 should be installed in a PCIe Gen 2 compliant slot in the host computer. Most computers have PCIe Gen 2 (5.0 Gbps) throughput on x8 or x16 slots.
A PCIe Gen 1 compliant slot reaches up to 2.5 Gbps throughput.
