Le blog de l'entreprise Mingjiada Electronics Supplies ASMedia PCIe-to-PCI Bridge Chips: Empowering Industrial Control and Server Expansion

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. has long been a spot supplier of ASMedia (Xiangshuo Technology) PCIe to PCI bridge chips, covering core models such as ASM1083 (3-port) and ASM1085 (5-port). This series of chips can seamlessly convert modern PCI Express interfaces into traditional 32-bit PCI buses, and are widely used in industrial control, server expansion, test and measurement equipment and medical electronics. Original genuine products, in stock in Shenzhen, supporting samples and bulk purchasing.

I. PCIe to PCI Bridge Chips: An Efficient Bridge Connecting Old and New Buses

With the widespread use of PCI Express interfaces in computers and embedded systems, many PCI interface devices still in service face the practical dilemma of being incompatible with modern motherboards. PCI expansion devices such as industrial control cards, data acquisition cards, motion control cards, and dedicated test instruments are often functionally intact and of high value, but they cannot continue to be used because the motherboard lacks PCI slots. Redeveloping the PCIe version is not only expensive, but also requires re-verification and certification of the system.

PCIe-to-PCI bridge chips are the key technical solution to solve this pain point. ASMedia, a leading global manufacturer of high-speed interface chips, has launched two classic PCIe-to-PCI bridge controllers, the ASM1083 and ASM1085. By converting the x1 PCI Express channel into a 32-bit PCI bus, traditional PCI devices can seamlessly connect to modern PCIe platforms, effectively extending the lifespan of existing PCI hardware devices.

III. Typical application scenarios of ASMedia PCIe to PCI bridge chips

3.1 Industrial control and automation systems

In the field of industrial automation, a large number of industrial computers, PLC controllers, and human-machine interface devices still use PCI bus interface motion control cards, data acquisition cards, and fieldbus communication cards. The ASM1083/ASM1085 bridge chips enable these industrial PCI cards to continue to be used on next-generation PCIe industrial control motherboards without replacing the entire control system, significantly reducing equipment upgrade costs. The ASM1085's 5-port design is particularly suitable for applications where multiple PCI industrial cards need to be expanded simultaneously.

3.2 Server and Storage System Expansion

In enterprise servers and storage devices, some RAID control cards, Fibre Channel HBA cards, and dedicated network interface cards still use PCI interfaces. With ASM1083/ASM1085 bridge chips, these high-value PCI cards can be integrated into modern server architectures for smooth upgrades, avoiding complete machine replacements due to interface incompatibilities. Mingjiada's ASMedia PCIe bridge chips also cover products such as the ASM2824 (24-channel PCIe Gen3 packet switch), providing complete PCIe bridge solutions for servers and storage systems.

3.3 Test Measurement and Data Acquisition

Many high-precision PCI instrument cards (such as oscilloscope cards, signal generator cards, and multifunction acquisition cards) are still in use in laboratory test systems, automated test equipment (ATE), and precision data acquisition systems. These devices are often expensive and verified by long-term calibration, resulting in extremely high replacement costs. The ASM1083/ASM1085 bridge chip provides a technical channel for continued use of these legacy PCI instrument cards.

3.4 Medical electronic equipment

Medical equipment such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound imaging systems still extensively use dedicated data acquisition and processing cards with PCI interfaces. Medical equipment has long certification cycles and high replacement costs. Upgrading equipment through PCIe to PCI bridging solutions is an ideal choice for medical equipment manufacturers and hospital equipment maintenance departments.

3.5 Communication Equipment and Embedded Systems

In communication base stations, network switching equipment, and embedded industrial control motherboards, ASM1083/ASM1085 can be used to expand voice cards, communication cards, and interface cards of traditional PCI interfaces, achieving a smooth transition between old and new equipment.
