Introduction

U3-PCIE1XG201 is a USB 3.0 to PCI Express Gen2 Host Bus Adapter.

The U3-PCIE1XG201 complies with Universal Serial Bus 3.0(USB 3.0) Specification, and Intel’s eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI).

The U3-PCIE1XG201 uses a PCI Express bus interface, and it is applicable for PCI Express solutions with host PC systems.

The U3-PCIE1XG201 supports data transfer up to 5Gbps when connecting to USB 3.0 compliant peripherals, while maintaining compatibility with existing USB peripheral devices.



Technical Specifications

PCIe Host Bus
  • Compliant with PCI Express Base Specification 2.0
  • Supports PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 2.0 (PCI Express 2.0)
  • Compliant with Intel’s eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) Specification revision 0.95
  • Supports PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification revision 1.2
  • Operational registers are direct-mapped to PCI memory space
  • Supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) type ROM

USB Features

  • Supports two downstream ports at all speeds
  • Supports all USB compliant data transfer types as follows; Control / Bulk / Interrupt / Isochronous transfer
  • Supports USB legacy functions
  • USB3.0 PHY for super-speed Tx/Rx
USB Data Transfer Rate:
  • Low-speed (1.5 Mbps)
  • Full-speed (12.0 Mbps)
  • High-speed (480.0 Mbps)
  • Super-speed (5.0 Gbps)
Number of Ports:
  • Two USB Host ports


Computer Platform
  • Computer with PCI Express slot (x1, x4, x8, x16)

    Note:
    For the best performance (5.0 Gbps), U3-PCIE1XG201 should be installed in a PCIe 2.0 compliant slot in the host computer.  Most computers have PCIe 2.0 (5.0 Gbps) throughput on x8 or x16 slots.
    A PCIe 1.0 compliant slot reaches up to 2.5 Gbps throughput.



Operating System Requirements
  • Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
  • USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver Kit (x86 and x64)
    • For Windows XP, Vista and 7
