PLX Technology to Deliver PCI Express Presentation at Real Time & Embedded Computing Conference in Boston.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- PLX Technology (Nasdaq:PLXT) (www.plxtech.com), the leading supplier of standard I/O interconnect silicon to the communications, server, storage, embedded-control, and consumer industries, today announced that Ash Aziz, PLX(R) applications engineer, will present on PCI Express(TM) (PCIe) technology at the Real Time & Embedded Computing Conference (RTECC) this week in Boston. Aziz's presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the PCIe protocol, including a discussion on interconnect components as well as on PCIe switches and bridges that presently are sampling to board and system designers. The Boston conference is one of several PLX has presented at during the series, which covers multiple cities in the U.S. and Canada.

"Participating in the RTECC Conference affirms PLX's commitment to the embedded-systems community and to the PCIe interconnect standard," said Aziz. "These conferences are a significant forum in that community, one from which we'll provide designers and managers a greater understanding of PCI Express and how it's being rapidly deployed in the real-time embedded computing market. The conference is important also because it is backed by many of the top names in the industry."

Aziz's presentation will include:

--A PCIe overview, explaining the technology's lanes, links, clocks, quality of service, and speeds

--PCIe as a tree topology

--PCIe from host CPU chip sets

--Switching PCIe

--Bridging PCIe

--Dual-host systems using both transparent and non-transparent ports

PLX brings to the Real Time & Embedded Computing Conference a wealth of expertise and rich history in advanced I/O interconnects. PLX is an active member of several standards-setting bodies, including subcommittees within the PCI SIG, the special interest group responsible for the release of all PCIe specifications. PLX already is sampling several chips from its ExpressLane(TM) family of PCI switches and bridges, which are presently being designed into a wide range of server, storage, embedded-control and communications systems.
