May 9, 2006 -- PLX Technology, Inc. today announced that the PLX ExpressLane PEX 8311 generic local bus-to-PCIe bridge reached two milestones: it's been production released and added to the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) Integrators List. The PEX 8311 is dedicated to upgrading standard processor, DSP, ASIC, and FPGA bus-interface designs to PCIe. The newest member of the ExpressLane family of PCIe switches and bridges, the PEX 8311 provides the power and flexibility of PCIe to embedded designs spanning the video, imaging, medical, communications, and industrial-control markets.
The production release of the PEX 8311 reflects PLX's strengthening position in PCIe bridging and switching technology. With six PCIe switches and bridges now in production, PLX supplies a broad array of PCIe interconnect solutions. In addition, the configuration flexibility of the PEX 8311 and other ExpressLane switches and bridges allows them to be applied to the widest range of boards and systems.
