San Jose, CA, 2006-04-05 - INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM - 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 April 6-7 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.
Pericom won a first place Technology Innovation
Accelerated Award
at the San Francisco IDF show on March 7-9, 2006. Pericom won the Data
Center category with the demo titled
“PCI Express Extravaganza!”
“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.”
