Overview
The EVB-PCI11400C is a demonstration and evaluation platform that provides the necessary interface options for evaluating the PCI11400C, a single-chip PCIe switch with an integrated USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10G) host controller and programmable I/O options (I2C/SPI/UART/GPIO), on a six-layer RoHS-compliant Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This kit allows the user to gain an understanding of the product and accelerate the integration of the EVB-PCI11400C Evaluation Kit into the user’s design.
The evaluation platform includes four USB-IF compliant downstream USB host ports:
(1) USB Type-C at USB 3.2 Gen
(2) SuperSpeed+ port
(3) USB Type-A at USB 2.0 High-Speed.
EVB-PCI11400C demonstrates PCIe, USB Host, 10BASE-T1S and I2C/SPI/UART/GPIO driver compatibility in Linux®, Microsoft® Windows®, and Android. Options exist for QNX, VxWorks and FreeBSD.
An additional software tool, MPLAB Connect, is used for advanced configuration and diagnostics. This extends to PCIe virtual eye diagram. A fantastic solution for designers to visualise PCIe connections.
