PCIe packet switches are automotive-qualified for telematics and ADAS
The PI7C9X2G304EVQ and PI7C9X2G404EVQ PCIe 2.0 packet switches packet switches are automotive-compliant for use in telematics/ADAS, navigation systems, in-vehicle wireless routers, and emerging applications such as V2V and V2X communications. They offer three-ports/four-lanes and four-ports/four-lanes, respectively.
The switches are designed to increase the fan-out of PCIe ports on SoCs, ASSPs, microprocessors and FPGAs to support these advanced features in the automotive industry. Both the PI7C9X2G304EVQ and PI7C9X2G404EVQ are qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2, and have an operating temperature range of -40 to +105 degrees C. They are manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
Interoperability at the system level is guaranteed, confirms Diodes, through compliance with the PCI-SIG PCIe Rev 2.1 standard.
Advanced features include an integrated clock buffer and support for peer-to-peer traffic, delivering greater system performance. The low-power operation is complemented by link power management, including active-state power management L0 and L1, device-state power management D0, D3Hot and D3Cold. Power dissipation in L0 is 300mW (typical), dropping to 35mW in PCI-PM L1.1 D3Hot PM sub-state mode.
Latency for a packet running through the switch without blocking is 150nanoseconds, and latency tolerance reporting improves platform power management. While the default mode is cut-through, store and forward modes are also supported. Peer-to-peer traffic is enabled through access control service support.
Diodes manufactures and supplies application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analogue and mixed-signal semiconductor markets. Diodes serves the consumer electronics, computing, communications, industrial, and automotive markets, supplying diodes, rectifiers, transistors, MOSFETs, protection devices, function-specific arrays, single gate logic, amplifiers and comparators, Hall-effect and temperature sensors, power management devices, including LED drivers, AC/DC converters and controllers, DC/DC switching and linear voltage regulators, and voltage references along with special function devices, such as USB power switches, load switches, voltage supervisors, and motor controllers. Diodes also has timing, connectivity, switching, and signal integrity solutions for high-speed signals.
