Neousys introduces PCIE-USB380/340 - 8 Ports / 4 Ports x4 PCI-E USB3.0 expansion Card released

Neousys Technology has launched two new PCIe USB 3.0 Host Adaptor Cards. PCIe-USB380 and PCIe-USB340 are eight and four port cards designed to work in industrial PCs such as Neousys’ embedded vision platform. While most USB cards implement multiple ports with a single USB controller that could cause a significant performance decrease in multi-port operation. PCIe-380 has four independent NEC/Renesas uPD720202 USB 3.0 host controllers and x4 PCI Express Gen2 interface, which adds up to 8 independent USB 3.0 ports (4 external, 4 internal) to any PCIe x4-enabled computer system, with full bandwidth support (up to 5Gbps) per port when 4 ports run simultaneously.

In addition, PCIe-USB380/340 features on-board regulated 5VDC power supply with unique design of user configurable 900mA/1500mA current limit to supply stand 5VDC to external USB devices. It also supports software programmable per-port power on/off control for fault recovery operations.

USB 3.0 has become an industrial standard for Vision Camera in machine vision applications. Combining high bandwidth, industrial-grade power design and reliable cable connection, PCIe-USB380/340 brings great convenience to interface USB 3.0 devices for versatile operating systems, such as Windows XP, 7, 8 and Linux.
