Neousys PCIe-USB380/340 is an 8-port/4-port USB 3.1 Gen1 host adapter dedicatedly designed for industrial and vision applications. USB 3.1 Gen1, or SuperSpeed USB, is an emerging bus technology to deliver ten times of data rate over USB 2.0, and is particularly useful for high-speed data storage and imaging devices.

Most off-the-shelf USB 3.1 Gen1 cards implement multiple ports with single USB 3.1 Gen1 controller, which introduce significant performance degradation for multi-port operation. To achieve maximal per-port performance, PCIe-USB380 has four independent NEC/Renesas μPD720202 USB 3.1 Gen1 Host Controllers and x4 PCI Express® Gen2 interface to fulfill up to 5 Gbps bandwidth for each port when four ports run simultaneously. In addition to bandwidth advantage, PCIe-USB380/340 features on-board regulated 5VDC power supply with an unique design of configurable 900mA/1500mA current limit to supply stable 5VDC power to external USB devices. It also supports software-programmable per-port power on/off control for fault recovery operations.

Combining high bandwidth, industrial-grade power design and reliable cable connection, PCIe-USB380/340 brings great convenience to interface USB 3.1 Gen1 devices for versatile operating systems, such as Windows XP, 7, 8 and Linux.
