ASM2364
ASM2364 - 20Gbps USB to PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe Bridge | ASMedia
The ASMedia ASM2364 is a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to PCI Express Gen 3 x4 NVMe bridge controller with up to 20Gbps USB bandwidth, four-lane PCIe connectivity, and a QFN-88 10x10 mm package. It integrates ASMedia USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and PCI Express Gen 3 PHYs and translates NVMe storage traffic between a USB Type-C host connection and an internal M.2 solid-state drive. The controller targets external SSDs, onboard SSDs, PCs, laptops, servers, docking stations, and embedded systems.
A USB-to-PCIe NVMe bridge is a semiconductor controller that lets an NVMe drive use a USB interface instead of a conventional internal PCIe port. In the system hierarchy, ASM2364 is an interface controller, storage interface bridge, USB controller, PCIe endpoint, and NVM Express device controller. Its Gen 2x2 USB interface provides two 10Gbps lanes, while its PCIe Gen 3 x4 side supplies four PCI Express lanes for a high-bandwidth storage path.
The verified manufacturer information identifies USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, PCI Express Gen 3 x4, one USB device port, and integrated USB and PCIe PHYs as the central features. ASMedia describes ASM2364 as its second-generation PCI Express-to-USB 3.2 device controller. Advanced power saving is supported through USB and PCI Express link power management together with chip power management, making the device suitable for systems where energy use and thermal performance matter.
The controller supports NVM Express Base Specification Revision 1.3c, PCI Express Base Specification Revision 3.1a, and USB 3.2 Specification Revision 1.0 according to the provided datasheet result. Its high-speed lanes are intended to maximize transfer throughput while retaining compatibility with NVMe M.2 SSDs used in external and embedded storage products. Actual sustained transfer speed still depends on the SSD, host controller, cable, enclosure, firmware, and thermal conditions.
Typical implementations place ASM2364 between a USB Type-C receptacle and an M.2 NVMe socket. The same architecture can support external SSD enclosures, internal PC or laptop storage, server storage adapters, docking stations, and embedded systems. The QFN-88 package is compact relative to the interface bandwidth, but high-speed differential routing, power integrity, grounding, thermal design, and connector signal integrity remain critical.
Designers should validate the complete USB Type-C cable and host path because 20Gbps operation requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host connection. PCB layout must follow the manufacturer reference guidance, preserve impedance-controlled differential pairs, provide continuous return paths, and place decoupling and clock circuitry according to the datasheet. Firmware and NVMe compatibility should also be verified before production release.
This page consolidates the verified manufacturer description, package information, storage use cases, comparison caveats, and practical integration guidance. It separates documented facts from unavailable details, avoiding unsupported assumptions about pin assignments, electrical ratings, lifecycle status, or unverified drop-in replacements.
