I want to use an IC that will take x4 3.0 PCIe lanes, and adds a USB 3.1 controller.
This ASMedia one looks ideal, but doesn’t appear to be available to the common folk: https://www.asmedia.com.tw/product/E0CYQ4fSpaQxdjzA/f32YQ14SmApn1wNA
There’s also https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tusb7340.pdf - but that costs 22USD with LCSC, as well as being much slower (only using x1 lane)
I’m finding it hard to Google as well, because it seems to bring up complete products rather than ICs.
Can buy a whole card on eBay with the ASM3242 on it!
Can anyone help here please?
Maybe this: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/PCI11400 Unfortunately to access the whole datasheet you might have to sign an NDA (and probably have a large company), also designing things with those kinds of interfaces isn’t trivial.
Alternatively maybe this: https://www.renesas.com/us/en/products/interface/usb-switches-hubs/upd720202-usb-30-host-controller It also seems to be locked by an NDA.
