Microchip Technology EVB-PCI11414C Evaluation Board

Microchip Technology EVB-PCI11414C Evaluation Board is a demonstration platform for the PCI11414C PCIe peripheral. The board incorporates PCIe connectivity, an integrated USB 3.2 Gen 2 host controller, Ethernet, 10BASE-T1S networking, and programmable I/O. This working hardware platform helps developers evaluate the PCI11414C and accelerate its integration into embedded designs.

The Microchip EVB-PCI11414C Evaluation Board supplies four USB-IF-compliant host ports, one downstream PCIe port, an onboard KSZ9131 Ethernet transceiver, and a LAN8651 10BASE-T1S interface. Ethernet Precision Time Protocol and PCIe Precision Time Measurement support synchronized networking and PCIe timing applications. RS-232/485 connectivity and programmable I²C, SPI, UART, and GPIO functions extend the board’s evaluation capabilities.

The platform demonstrates driver compatibility with Linux^®, Microsoft^® Windows^®, and Android^®, and offers additional support for QNX, VxWorks, and FreeBSD. MPLAB^® Connect supports advanced configuration and diagnostics, including PCIe virtual eye-diagram visualization.
