SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 25, 2011 -- PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLXT), a leading global supplier of software-enriched silicon for the enterprise and consumer markets, today announced first quarter revenues of $28.1 million and a GAAP loss of $9.1 million, or $0.21 per share (diluted).
“Our revenues were up slightly in Q1 with record PCI Express switch revenue increasing more than 18 percent quarter over quarter due to strong demand in the enterprise storage market and Intel Sandy Bridge platforms,” said Ralph Schmitt, president and CEO of PLX. “We also completed the release of four new high-speed connectivity product families: 8Gbps PCI Express Gen3 switches, 10Gbps Ethernet Base-T PHYs and 5Gbps USB 3.0 bridges and USB 3.0 storage controllers. These products continue to layer in opportunities for the rest of 2011 and 2012.”

“Our business metrics were in line with our previous projections,” said Schmitt. “While the impact of entering the 10G Ethernet business has caused our operating results to be negative for a few quarters, this investment will give the company another synergistic growth business as we see the technology become broadly adopted later in 2011 and into 2012.”
Product Highlights and Strategic Direction
PLX announced the industry’s first USB 3.0 general-purpose peripheral controllers that bridge to PCIe 2.0, thus matching the high-performance 5Gbps bus speeds experts predict will be required by most consumer-electronics and industrial designs for the next five to ten years. The new USB338x family targets a broad array of applications that include tablets, mobile PCs, printers, projectors, embedded systems, multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) WiFi adapters, graphics/video adapters, TV Tuners, and the new Thunderbolt adapters.
PLX also announced its collaboration with Texas Instruments on a solution encompassing TI’s digital signal processors (DSPs) enabled by PCIe standards. With PCIe’s high performance, low cost and widespread market adoption, the availability of TI DSPs and PLX PCIe connectivity broadens the capabilities of new designs in applications such as wireless infrastructure communications, DSP farms, digital media, test and measurement, medical imaging and industrial automation. TI is the DSP of choice in these markets but until now only offered a Serial Rapid IO interface. Designers will now be able to leverage the larger PCIe ecosystem expanding the TAM for PLX.
NEC Corporation named PLX a First Tier Preferred Supplier, citing PLX’s commitment to superior service and technical support, combined with its unmatched leadership in PCIe technology, for the award.
On the storage products front, PLX sampled its second-generation USB 3.0 DAS device, which is currently being designed into market leaders’ products. PLX also announced that it is working with system partners worldwide to accelerate PCIe technology’s adoption in the next generation of applications using non-volatile memories (NVMs). Industry-leading storage companies and PLX have defined the architectures that will blend PCIe and NVM technologies for applications ranging from consumer devices to enterprise data centers, with the objective of optimizing NVM’s fast data access with the high-performance PCIe interconnect technology.
PLX's 10GBase-T product line continues to see significant design activity as enterprise switch, NIC and server manufacturers prepare for the widespread adoption of 10Gigabit Ehternet over the preferred low-cost Cat6 cabling.
