ASM2464PD | USB4 Device Controller 40G

ASM2464PD, is a new generation of USB4 ®/Thunderbolt to PCIe/NVMe Accessory controller based on ASMedia in-house designed PHYs. USB4/Thunderbolt technology enables PCIe and USB protocols to be encapsulated into the USB4/Thunderbolt fabric and tunneled across USB4/Thunderbolt domains. ASM2464PD can be implemented in various types of storage devices such as portable SSD, SSD enclosure, and any other PCIe based storage products that can be used to expand storage capacity with high-speed data transfers.

The ASM2464PD USB connection is able to provide data rate at a speed of USB4/Thunderbolt 20Gbps x2 and is compatible with existing legacy USB 3.2 interfaces, as well as Thunderbolt 3. In addition, the downstream port link of ASM2464PD is also upgraded to PCIe Gen4 x4 to support various NVM Express based M.2, CFexpress, and U.2 form factors.

ASM2464PD integrates USB4/Thunderbolt Gen3 x2, and PCI Express Gen4 with VDD, VCCL, VCCH voltage power source. A USB Type-C CC logic circuit and BMC PHY are integrated for supporting cable orientation, flipping, and PD Sink mode with the capability to communicate via PD protocols including USB4/TBT3 Discovery and Entry with host. ASM2464PD is driven by local 25MHz crystal in a compact RoHS Green compact package with the support of multiple GPIO pins for customization.
