The NET 2282, the industry's first PCI-to-USB peripheral controller optimized for converting PCI-based designs to Hi-Speed USB 2.0 products, provides the interface that helps the TV Wonder 650 deliver HDTV and multimedia on PCs and notebooks.
PLX NET 2282 chips are developed for high-performance PCI-to-USB 2.0 data transfers and designed for easy integration with existing PCI based systems and silicon. This allows any system with a PCI bus to instantly add a USB 2.0 peripheral port. NET 2282 is optimized for converting existing PCI cards or CardBus adapters to stand-alone USB devices.
