Introduction 1
PCIe-U300 Series
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
ADLINK's PCIe-U300 Series is a PCI Express® x4 lane Gen2
USB3 Vision frame grabber supporting 4, 8 or 12 Type-A USB 3.1
Gen 1 ports (the same as USB 3.0) for multiple USB3 Vision®
device connections with data transfer speeds up to 5 Gb/s per
port.
XPCIe-U304 - 4 USB ports (dedicated bandwidth)
XPCIe-U308 - 8 USB ports (shared bandwidth)
XPCIe-U312 - 12 USB ports (shared bandwidth)
The PCIe-U300 Series delivers 5V and up to 1500mA per port for
external USB3 Vision® industrial cameras. To ensure industrial-
grade high-bandwidth performance for each port, the card uses
four independent Fresco FL1100 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Host Controllers
with a 4 lane PCI Express Gen2 interface enabling every USB port
to deliver up to 5 Gbps bandwidth when operating multiple ports
simultaneously. It supports software programmable per-port
power on/off control for fault recovery operations.
ADLINK's PCIe-U300 Series conveniently interfaces with USB3
Vision devices for machine vision, factory automation, and quality
assurance applications.

NOTE:
The PCIe-U300 Series Function Library Reference and driver
can be downloaded from http://www.adlinktech.com
XAVS-SDK driver for USB power management
XFLUSB3.0-x.x driver for USB3 controller
NOTE:
NOTE:
For the development host PC, make certain to install Micro-
soft's Kernel-Mode Driver Framework v1.11. This is not natively
supported on Windows 7 unless the KB3033929 hotfix is
installed manually or via Windows Update.
CAUTION:
If the total USB load exceeds 20W, a 4-pin Molex Power Con-
nector connection is required to avoid system damage. See “4-
pin 12V Power Connector (CN10)” on page 19.

1.5 USB Power
The PCIe-U300 Series provides a choice of 4, 8 or 12 USB 3.0
ports supporting Type-A USB3.0 connections on the front panel,
with 5V at 1500mA per port and extension port with 5V at 900mA
per port. It supports software programmable per-port power on/off
control for fault recovery operations.
1.5.1 Overcurrent Protection
If the USB connection exceeds a rated ICUT value due to over-
load, short circuit, or ground fault, the system protects the circuit
by shutting down the connection to PD in order to avoid an exces-
sive or dangerous temperature rise in the conductors. The recom-
mend recovery procedure is to reboot the PC.
XPorts 1-8
ZUSB port ICUT: 1700 mA ±7%
XPorts 9-12
ZUSB port ICUT: 1100 mA ± 7%
1.5.2 Software-programmable USB Power On/Off
The AVS SDK for USB power management is ready to use with
the PCIe-U300 Series with no additional licensing required. Appli-
cations are easily created with the SDK, requiring only a few lines
of code.
