What is ZettiTM?

Zetti is a new standard of transport layer switch for CPUs and GPUs running multiple peripherals at different speeds. From smart home devices to set-top boxes, medical tablets to industrial PCs, Zetti supports one upstream port (up to four lanes) and up to six downstream ports, each capable of operating as an independent

PCIe port simultaneously with different speeds and functionality. Zetti harnesses premium features – unique at this small scale – to deliver the next generation of performance from multi-functional devices.

Why ZettiTM?

The World’s First Gen 5 Switch

Zetti is the first and only small scale Gen 5 ready switch on the market. Fully backwards compatible with Gen 1-4, Zetti is the future-focussed solution designers working in IoT, smart homes, medical, and telecoms industries have been asking for.

Why ZettiTM?

High-end features unique at this scale

With premium features such as Hot Plug and Peer to Peer support, both unique to this small scale, Zetti establishes a new class of switch.

Why ZettiTM?

Peerless Functionality

Zetti includes Peer to Peer support, which helps offload CPU memory access workload, reducing latency for accessing data as well as power consumption. Efficiency is further enhanced with a Dedicated WAKE pin and power saving mode.

Why ZettiTM?

Built-in Advanced Diagnostics

Integrated on-chip diagnostics for faster and easier in-field debugging. Our Besso software tool lets you look deep inside your system and includes Logic Analyzer and RTSSM Analyzer, plus EyeScope and BER monitors for SerDes.
