Our PCI Express portfolio

Mini PCI Express

Mini PCI Express is the successor to the mini PCI format and offers increased data throughput. The remote network interface enables flexible integration into compact box IPCs and embedded systems. Using x1 technology and being based on our netX 100 SoC, the cards can be utilized universally for all fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet protocols, paving the way for individual master and slave applications.

Like all our PC cards, the mini PCI Express version has a uniform user interface for all protocols and formats. Our wide range of drivers makes the PC cards easy to integrate. Data access is achieved using a dual-port memory or direct memory access. The mini PCI Express cards are optionally available with integrated NVRAM and as a 2-channel card. A version with M12 connectors for Real-Time Ethernet systems enables enhanced protection and the implementation of protection classes up to IP67 for applications with harsh operating conditions.
