Business Wire
Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) will showcase at the
PCI-SIG® Developers Conference in Santa Clara, CA a new series of
automotive-compliant PCI Express® (PCIe®) 3.0 technology packet
switches for next-generation, in-vehicle networking applications.
The architecture used in these devices enables flexible port
configuration with upstream, downstream, and cross-domain end-point
(CDEP) ports being assigned according to requirements.
The PI7C9X3G606GPQ offers 6-port/6-lane operation, the
PI7C9X3G808GPQ 8-port/8-lane, and the PI7C9X3G816GPQ
8-port/16-lane. The switches are targeted at ADAS, telematics,
infotainment systems, and controllers that are utilized as zonal
networking architectures continue to emerge.
The elevated signal integrity performance provided by these PCIe
packet switches support long trace lengths, with losses of
<30dB. They can connect with up to seven different endpoints and
support multi-host applications. Each switch features a built-in
low-power clock buffer, thereby simplifying designs, saving space,
and reducing the associated component count. Their typical latency
is only 150ns.
The ability to select between 6 and 16 lanes gives engineers
using these new packet switches broad flexibility to develop
projects quickly, and with the most suitable options. Advanced
power management functions ensure constant energy-efficient
operation.
“Diodes Incorporated’s contributions to developing the PCIe
specification-based products continuously bring new benefits to
automotive and other markets, thus growing the PCIe ecosystem,”
said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President and Chairperson.
“The flexibility of these PCIe packet switches offers many
advantages for automotive applications,” adds Dr. Jin Zhao, Senior
Vice President, Analog Business Group, Diodes Incorporated. “This
new series of automotive-compliant PCIe packet switches is designed
to expand PCIe signal outreach in next-generation vehicle
interconnections.”
The PI7C9X3G606GPQ, PI7C9X3G808GPQ, and PI7C9X3G816GPQ are all
AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, manufactured in IATF 16949 certified
facilities, and support PPAP documentation. They are supplied in
144-pin FCCSP, 196-pin HFCBGA, and 324-pin HFCBGA packages. In
1,000 piece quantities, the PI7C9X3G606GPQ is available at $28, the
PI7C9X3G808GPQ is available at $46, and the PI7C9X3G816GPQ is
available at $74.
The PI7C9X3G808GPQ has been successfully used to aggregate dual
automotive processors in an automotive processing reference design.
Conference attendees can find Diodes at booth 18 where this demo
board will be on display.
