XConn Technologies announced that its PCIe 5.0-capable switch, XC51256 “Apollo,” has successfully completed testing at PCI-SIG Compliance Workshop #132. This achievement validates the switch’s adherence to stringent PCIe 5.0 standards and secures its place on the official PCI-SIG Integrators List.
“We are thrilled to announce that our PCIe 5.0 capable switch has passed the PCI-SIG Compliance Workshop, a significant benchmark in the industry,” said Gerry Fan, CEO of XConn Technologies. “This achievement not only demonstrates our commitment to innovation but also ensures our customers benefit from the highest standards of interoperability and reliability.”
The successful compliance validation underscores the industry readiness of XConn’s technology, positioning it as a critical component in advanced computing environments. This achievement is a testament to XConn’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of product excellence and compatibility within the rapidly evolving tech landscape. XConn integrated Synopsys’ standards-compliant, silicon-proven PCIe 5.0 and CXL IP to ensure maximum performance and lowest latency for the XC51256 Apollo PCIe Gen 5 switch.
“Congratulations to XConn Technologies on their successful passing status at the Compliance Workshop,” said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President and Chairperson. “Their PCIe 5.0 capable switch reflects the industry’s efforts toward advancing technological standards. We are pleased to see XConn join the ranks of other members on our Integrators List.”
“We commend XConn Technologies for achieving PCIe 5.0 compliance for the XC51256 ‘Apollo’ switch, which integrates Synopsys PCIe 5.0 and CXL 2.0 IP,” said Neeraj Paliwal, Senior Vice President of IP Product Management at Synopsys. “Its success highlights the benefits of integrating Synopsys’ best-in-class, standards-compliant IP solutions to reduce integration risk and meet interoperability, power, latency, and performance goals.”
The PCIe 5.0 capable switch by XConn not only brings superior performance and flexibility but also features industry-leading low latency and power efficiency. This compliance milestone paves the way for its use in demanding data-intensive applications, such as AI/ML training and high-throughput computing environments.
XConn’s PCIe 5.0 capable switch, XC51256, offers a dense 256-lane configurations for applications heavily reliant on GPUs and accelerators, such as JBOG and JBOA processing setups. The Apollo switch family delivers hybrid CXL 2.0 and PCIe 5.0 technology support in a single switch to further future-proof system designs.
The XConn Apollo XC51256 switch is now available in production volume. For customer samples and/or Apollo reference boards, contact XConn at the website here. View XConn’s inclusion on the Compliance Program PCI-SIG Integrators List here.
