Overview –GL9767 PCI Express to SD Express Card Reader Controller•

The major applications of GL9767 are the internal SD Express card reader of laptop, mini PC,
Server system, professional camera, game console and drone devices that demand the highspeed of SD storage or the second SSD-like storage for the real memory expansion.

•

The support of SD Express interface can be up to SD 8.0 SD Express (PCIe Gen.4 x 2).

•

GL9767 is the first SD Express card reader controller which can backward support SD 4.0
UHS-II speed mode and SD 3.0 UHS-I speed mode. The existing devices support UHS-II card
slot use GL9767 in the next generation product not only upgrade the speed of SD storage also
retain the fully support of UHS-II card.

•

For power saving, GL9767 support PCI Express ASPM, L1 sub-states (L1.1 and L1.2) and
RTD3 (Runtime D3 Hot/Cold), Modern Standby and S0ix.

•

The supported OS are Windows, Chrome OS and Linux•GL9767 is available in QFN32 5mmx5mm© SD Association, All Rights Reserved. SD, microSD and related logos and marks are trademarks of SD-3C LLC.
