Diodes brings out its latest PCIe 3.0 packet switcher

     DIODES will launch its latest PCIe 3.0 packet switcher-Diodes PI7C9X3G1224GP. The product is an efficient 12-port, 24-channel device that can be used in edge computing, data storage devices, communication infrastructure, and integrated into host bus adapters (Hbas), industrial controllers, and network routers.PI7C9X3G1224GP comes in 324 pin flip-chip BGA package format.

     The forwarding delay of PI7C9X3G1224GP is less than 150ns (typical value). The elastic port configuration of the device is realized by allocating a range of variable channel widths to each port. For fan-out purposes, any packet switcher port can be set up as an uplink port and connected to multiple downports. Multi-host configurations can be supported through port-specific cross-domain endpoints (CDEPs) configuration for improved performance and expanded functionality. Adaptive receiver and sender equalization (RXEQ/TXEQ) functions include assistance in maintaining signal integrity levels and ensuring continuous system stability.

     The integrated PCIe 3.0 clock buffer is another advantage of PI7C9X3G1224GP products. This simplifies design and reduces overall bill of Materials (BOM) costs. Advanced power management features make it ideal for system designs that focus on energy efficiency benefits. Operating temperature is continuously monitored using its built-in thermal sensor. It also includes error reporting and other diagnostic capabilities.
