Widely deployed for wireless baseband, radar, medical imaging and aerospace embedded computing platforms to interconnect CPU, DSP and FPGA.
Core Advantages
High‑Speed Low‑Latency Bridging
Supports PCIe Gen2 and Serial RapidIO Gen2 multi‑lane operation, achieving 16 Gbps aggregate full‑duplex bandwidth for backplane data transmission.
Hardware BDMA Offload
Built‑in multi‑channel BDMA engine handles data transfer independently, reducing host CPU processing overhead.
Flexible Lane Support
Both interfaces work under x4 / x2 / x1 lane modes, adapting to diverse system bandwidth requirements.
Industrial Grade Stability
-40°C ~ +85°C operating temperature, well‑suited for VPX and AdvancedTCA high‑density embedded systems.
