San Jose, CA, 2006-03-07 - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:
PSEM), a worldwide preferred supplier of devices that specialize in the
switching, timing, connecting, signal integrity, and conditioning of
high-speed PCI Express technology, will showcase its complete portfolio
of PCI Express interface solutions March 7-9 at IDF in a dynamic
demonstration
that merges the Company’s new PCIe to PCI Bridge, PCIe Packet Switch,
PCIe Signal Switch, PCIe Signal
Re-Driver, and PCIe Clock/Timing devices.
This exhibit will incorporate twenty five feet of CAT6 cable running
signals in a 2.5Gbps PCI
Express system.
“We are already in the unique leadership position of offering
customers the broadest assortment of PCI
Express interface solutions,
and Pericom is taking advantage of IDF to officially launch two new
and exciting PCI Express (PCIe)
products. This includes an industry
unique reversible PCIe to PCI Bridge with Non Transparent mode (PI7C9X110),
as well as a 4
Port, 4 Lane PCIe Packet Switch (PI7C9X20404) with 8
traffic classes and 2 virtual channels per port. Pericom has already
captured
design wins for our new PCIe products, and is working closely
with top tier customers requiring higher performance solutions than
are
presently available,” said Bill Weir, Pericom Senior Marketing
Director. “Customers want a total PCIe solution, and these new
product families add to our already extensive offering of PCIe Re-Driver/Signal
Conditioners (PI2EXQxxxx), PCIe Signal Switches
(PI2PCIExxx), PCIe
Clock Generators (PI6C410x), PCIe Clock Buffers (PI6C2xxxx), and PCIe
Crystals (49S SMD).”
PCI Express is a high-bandwidth, serial, interconnect technology that
maintains software compatibility with existing PCI
infrastructures,
and is uniquely positioned as the logical interconnect technology for
products being developed today.
Pericom’s PCI Express devices
are designed for next generation markets that include Switch and Routers,
Servers, HBA, Data
Storage Systems, PC Manufacturers, Multi-Function
Printers, Test Equipment, Data Acquisition, and Telecom industries.
“The PCI Express bus architecture is enabling a wide variety
of new technologies from many exhibitors at IDF,” said Jim
Pappas,
director of Intel Initiative Marketing. “The IDF PCI Express
Community offers an excellent venue for people to see how
developers,
such as Pericom, continue to progress in enabling desktop, mobile,
enterprise, and communication platforms with the I/O
interconnect standard.”
