Microsemi announces the launch of Gen 4 PCIe switches for high-performance interconnects in the market

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsemi, Inc. – announced the availability of its Switchtec Gen 4 PCIe switch samples, allowing customers to build next-generation, high-performance, low-latency interconnect solutions in high-growth markets, including machine learning, data center servers and storage devices. New generation PCIe switches provide high density, high reliability and low power consumption, allowing customers to significantly re-use their investment in Switchtec management software, drivers, firmware and system design with field-proven Switchtec firmware and chip architecture to provide customers with fast Listing solution.

Andrew Dieckmann, vice president of marketing and application engineering at Datason Solutions' business unit, said: 'The server, storage and general purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) architecture is increasingly using PCIe infrastructure, and our new Switchtec Gen 4 PCIe Switches offer high-reliability solutions to meet this growing demand. Gen 4 PCIe switches dramatically re-use the key intellectual property of Gen 3, allowing customers to leverage most of their Switchtec management software, drivers, firmware and development tools Investing, providing a solution that is less risky and faster to generate revenue. '

Switchtec Gen 4 PCIe switches are GPU-optimized for pin-to-pin low latency and low latency variation for optimal machine learning workload performance. Other features include up to 100 wire-speed PCIe lanes and integrated high-performance pass-through Memory Access (DMA) Engine. High reliability features include hot swap and accidental plug support, end-to-end data integrity and industry-leading debugging using ChipLink diagnostic tools.
