Hello friend, I want to design a converter pci express x 16 to 16 pci express x1. Thank you. FvM Super Moderator Staff member. Presume you'll use buffers. PCIe specification tells that "splitting of Ports into multiple Links" is an optional rather than a required feature, so you would check first if your PCIe host does support it.

Thank you for your response. I produce chip si I think, it have not output for prstn? My suggestion to signal permanent presence to the host, respectively the presence signals of the individual cards are simply unconnected.

I used siA1 for create clock that produce 2 line clock for 2 pci-express x1 but it do not work correctly. Click to expand FvM said:. A sustained test of an 8G folder of 19 large. I didn't have to update any drivers or anything. It was plug and play. I was VERY skeptical that this kind of solution would work but since there's nothing in the market that could replace my old Delta at an affordable price, I decided to give it a shot.

For my application, at least, it works flawlessly, and I would not hesitate to try it for other obsolete, irreplaceable components. Aside from the electronic uncertainties, I was concerned about how it was going to allow the old board to fit. I have to admit it took a bit of fiddling, but it comes with two adapter brackets. I was going to describe the process under 'cons', but I really think that would be unfair because one has to expect to expend SOME ingenuity to make something like this happen, so I'll elaborate a bit under 'other'.

Overall Review: If you're considering one of these, then you probably know the mechanical environment: raising the original PCI board an additional inch or so above the motherboard introduces a corresponding offset in where the support bracket is going to screw into the back of your computer case -- no way around that.

The unit ships with an extender for the 'inside' of the bracket - that is, were it slides in behind the motherboard, but that still leaves the end with the degree bend off by a corresponding amount. With a shallow card, it would probably be possible to replace the bracket with one for a low-profile installation, or even just cut and bend the end, but the Delta is a large card, and that wasn't going to work.

It screws into the adapter board, and lays right over the original bracket perfectly it's offset appropriately to fit right. This still left the original bracket extending beyond the end of the space where the bracket normally screws in.

It also leaves the card supported only by the PCI slot, which may or may not be a problem, but I wasn't comfortable with it. My solution was to CAREFULLY cut off the original Delta bracket to where it just fit the 'overlay' bracket using a Dremel cut-off wheel , then drill a couple of tiny holes and secure it with two small sheet metal screws.

If that makes you squeamish, then this might not be a good solution for you, but it was really quite easy and didn't take me more than 10 minutes or so. As stated ion the beginning - works perfectly. Cons: Not bus powered. I don't like the molex connector just hanging there. I connected the cards using a ribbon cable so the bracket for the riser card just has a hole in it. I used the only two brackets I had in the case. I used one to mount the audio card and the other to mount the adapter.

After connecting the cards with a ribbon cable Windows 7 recognized the audio card and the drivers installed without a problem. All my DAWs seem to play nice with it so far. Cons: It rocks slightly in the pci express slot if you have a large card like I do longer than most graphics cards.

The molex power connectors wires are soldered directly to the board, a bit disconcerting but they're thick enough gauge that I wouldn't be worried about too much as long as I'm not taking this card in and out of the computer all the time. Overall Review: After some modification to my case this adapter is marketed as being for low profile cards after all I was able to continue to use my old pci soundcard for my studio setup in a new computer.
