Signal transmission between different communication protocols in PCs, servers, and embedded applications. The market is expanding. This includes artificial intelligence and general fast data transmission. The PI3DBS16212 and PI3DBS16412 are introduced in response to this opportunity. It is a 1-20Gbps 2 channel and 4 channel 2:1 differential multiplexer/demultiplexer with ultra-low loss, reflection, crosstalk and skew. Provides excellent flexibility in channel and routing, typical applications Includes high-speed serial signals that switch to the latest communication protocols, including: 20Gbps ThunderboltTM 3; 16Gbps PCIe 4.0 architecture; 10Gbps USB3.1 Gen2; 12Gbps Serial SCSI 3 (SAS3); 8.1Gbps DisplayPort 4 (DP4); 12Gbps HDMI 2.1 , and 10Gbps Ethernet standards.
The PI3DBS16212 and PI3DBS16412 are suitable for emerging PCIe 4.0 applications and provide excellent signal integrity with an insertion loss of only -1.3dB at 16Gbps. In this application, the lowest skew between the channels reduces the timing budget between the nodes. The consumption is also very low, typically 300μA. Its parts are made of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, so it comes in a very small 2mm x 2mm package and is suitable for 2:1 multitasking.
In addition, the PI6CG18201, PI6CG18401, PI6CG18801, and PI6CG15401 frequency generators provide 1.8V 2/4/8 HCSL output and 1.5V 4 HCSL output, respectively, and use Diodes Incorporated's proprietary phase-locked loop for adoption in response to the new PCIe 4.0 standard. Designed to meet the requirements for compact jitter performance (less than 0.5ps). Its parts are also available for SERDES chipsets that support PCIe 4.0 interfaces, providing a suitable reference frequency. Each output has its own enable, with programmable slew rate With the use of on-board terminating resistors, up to 32 external resistors can be saved for the 8-channel version, which is suitable for space-constrained applications, and the power consumed by the parts is reduced by approximately 85% compared to the conventional PCIe frequency. Spread spectrum options are also available to reduce EMI in sensitive applications.
The PI6CB18200, PI6CB18401, PI6CB18601, and PI6CB18801 are PCIe 4.0 2/4/8 HCSL output frequency buffers that fan out from the reference input. Like the frequency generator, these products are programmable for slew rate and amplitude and have individual outputs. Enabled for better power management. The additional jitter for these frequency buffers is less than 0.05ps.
Al Yanes, President and Chairman of PCI-SIG, stated: 'Diodes Incorporated has been a PCI-SIG member for more than 10 years and has been providing semiconductor solutions for the PCI Express market. The company's support for the PCIe 4.0 architecture helps PCI Express to expand. Ecosystems'.
