Thunderbolt controllers second generation will be offered in conjunction with Intel's processor Ivy Bridge. Associate published the names and characteristics of new generation controllers, Thunderbolt, whose production is already running.
Computer-based processors on Ivy Bridge probably will use the controllers Cactus Ridge: Quad and Dual DSL3510 DSL3310. The first will not only allow multiple devices connected in series with the interface Thunderbolt, but will also provide support to the two inputs DisplayPort. Theoretically, the latter function may be needed for video transmission to the controller along with a discrete graphics card and graphics performance of the CPU. As you know, the interface includes support for Thunderbolt protocol DisplayPort, and therefore the appropriate ports let you connect monitors. DSL3510 bandwidth is equivalent to regime PCI Express x4, power consumption varies from 2.8 to 3.4 w. In the case of DSL3310 bandwidth is reduced to PCI Express x2, power consumption drops to 2.1 w.
Light Ridge Controller is available under the designation CV82524EF / L, supports up to four ports Thunderbolt and two DisplayPort source, equivalent to the capacity of PCI Express x4. Package dimensions are 15 x 15 mm, the power consumption ranges from 3.2 to 3.8 w. The controller allows to connect multiple devices in series.
A simpler and more compact (8 x 9 mm) controller Eagle Ridge SFF (DSL2310) supports a pair of devices, a source DisplayPort, the capacity is equivalent to PCI Express x4, power consumption does not exceed 1.85 w . The solution is suitable only for end devices.
The simplest controller Port Ridge (DSL2210) has dimensions of 6 x 5 mm and a power level less than 0.7 w.It supports a single port with a throughput of PCI Express x2, and is also used for end devices. In addition, the controller can not work with the protocol DisplayPort. Related Products :
