Our popular 2 port USB 3.PCI-e add-in card has been updated with the new Renesas µPD720202 Super Speed Host Controller chipset from Renesas. The µPD720202 is fully compliant with USB 3.0 and xHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface) 1.0 specifications and PCIe Gen2 system bus specifications.
Other improvements include:
- Reduced power consumption in low-power mode to 4.5 mW, a reduction of 90 percent from our existing µPD720200 based product
- Improvements to the data transfer processing circuit provide an increase in the effective data write speed of more than 40 percent over the µPD720200
- The µPD720202 features reduced power consumption so supplemental power via a SATA to molex connector is not needed
- Firmware download function eliminates the need for external serial flash ROM
Drivers for the new Plugable PCI Express to SuperSpeed USB 3.0 2-Port Expansion Card with the µPD720202 are different than for the µPD720200 based card. All Plugable PCI-e USB 3.0 cards purchase after 10/16/2012 have the new µPD720202 chipset and will require the new drivers. Both the previous and current versions are available at our Renesas driver page:
