Parade and Acer Deliver Advanced USB4® Connectivity in Flagship Display

Parade's PS9010 Dock Controller Adopted in Acer PE320QX Monitor, Enabling USB4® 40Gbps High-Speed Connectivity and Versatile Daisy-Chain Capability

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Parade Technologies, Ltd. (Taiwan OTC: 4966.TWO), a leading supplier of high-speed interface, video display, and touch controller ICs, today announced its Parade PS9010 USB-IF certified USB4® dock controller has been integrated into the Acer ProDesigner PE320QX, a professional-grade monitor for creators. Designed to meet the rising demand for high-speed and multi-protocol connectivity in creative workflows, the PS9010 enables the Acer ProDesigner PE320QX to serve as both an ultra-high-resolution display and a high-performance, single-cable USB4® docking hub.

The Acer ProDesigner PE320QX is built to optimize the user experience in workflows where high-bandwidth data transfers and multi-display connections are critical. By integrating the PS9010, the monitor seamlessly supports USB4®, DisplayPort™ 2.1, and SuperSpeed USB, ensuring robust compatibility with a wide range of host systems and peripherals. With dedicated USB4® Upstream (UFP) and Downstream (DFP) Facing Ports supporting 40Gbps bandwidth, the Acer ProDesigner PE320QX enables effortless daisy-chaining of secondary high-resolution displays and high-speed storage arrays, over a single USB-C® connection.

Leveraging Parade's industry-leading USB4® PHY technology, the PS9010 provides integrated DisplayPort™, USB 3.2, and PCI Express™ tunneling functionality, offering ultimate flexibility for otherwise complex creative and workstation setups. Whether driving uncompressed high-resolution video streams or transferring large media files via external storages, the chip ensures smooth, reliable, and uncompromised performance across all connection types.

With sustainability and sleek industrial design in mind, Parade designed the PS9010 to minimize power consumption without sacrificing 40Gbps performance. The controller’s low power profile simplifies thermal and mechanical design for monitor applications, eliminating the need for a dedicated heatsink. In addition, the compact 8.5mm x 11.5mm footprint saves valuable PCB space, reducing system BOM costs and shortening ODM/OEM development cycles.

"Integrating Parade's PS9010 USB4® dock controller into the Acer ProDesigner PE320QX monitor allows us to deliver a truly streamlined workstation experience for creative professionals," said Charles Wang, Director, Digital Displays, Acer Inc. "With high-speed multi-protocol tunneling and daisy-chaining capabilities now onboard, the PE320QX eliminates cable clutter and provides the comprehensive bandwidth required by next-generation content creators."

"The adoption of the PS9010 in Acer’s flagship PE320QX monitor marks a significant milestone in bringing USB4® dock capabilities directly into modern displays," said Jimmy Chiu, Executive VP of Marketing at Parade Technologies. "By combining 40Gbps performance, multi-protocol flexibility, and low power consumption, the PS9010 offers a proven, highly integrated solution that enables display leaders like Acer to innovate rapidly and deliver superior user experiences."

Availability

The PS9010 is in mass production now. It is available in an 8.5mm x 11.5mm 274-ball BGA package.
