Switch solutions equipped with high-speed interconnection capabilities
PCIe, ultra-low latency, low power, and bandwidth scalability

Microchip enables an autonomous driving ecosystem that delivers lower latency, lower power, and high-performance connectivity for ADAS designs.

Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP) today announced the availability of the industry's first automotive-qualified Gen 4 PCIe® switch.

High-speed, low-latency connectivity solutions for distributed and heterogeneous computing systems are essential for next-generation autonomous driving applications.

The Switchtec™ PFX, PSX and PAX switch solutions provide cutting-edge compute interconnects for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and high-speed interconnects that support distributed, real-time and safety-critical data processing in ADAS architectures.

Microchip's automotive-qualified Switchtec 4th generation switch portfolio delivers the industry's lowest latency and highest bandwidth needed to connect CPU and accelerator building blocks used in ADAS applications.

PCIe is emerging as the preferred computing interconnect solution beyond the data center market and into the automotive industry.

PCIe provides ultra-low latency and low power bandwidth scalability to CPUs and specialized acceleration devices.

Michael Trug, Nvidia Automotive “Microchip’s solution that meets the stringent requirements of the automotive market is a significant industry milestone,” said David C. McKinsey, senior director of platform architecture at NVIDIA. “Microchip’s automotive PCIe switch provides the flexibility and advanced programmability to enable high-speed SoC and GPU connectivity within the NVIDIA DRIVE platform.”
