PCIe switch routes automotive data traffic

January 24, 2025 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

The Switchtec family of PCI switches from Microchip move data around a vehicle’s “data center.” With vehicles becoming more software-centric, their computing power relies on a central processor that manages other processors, often on a single board. PCI Express (PCIe) becomes the bus that transports all that vehicle data. The PCI100x Switchtec PCIe switches from […]
