World's First Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 3 Packet Switches Introduced by Diodes Incorporated at Embedded World 2017
Diodes (News - Alert) Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and
supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within
the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor
markets, today introduced the PI7C9X2G304SLQ and PI7C9X2G404SLQ at
Embedded World 2017, representing the first-ever packet switches to be
automotive-qualified to AEC-Q100 grade 3. These PCI (News - Alert) Express®
(PCIe®) 3-Port/4-Lane and 4-Port/4-Lane Packet Switches are
specifically designed to meet automotive industry requirements,
targeting applications in infotainment, telematics and Advanced Driver
Assistance Systems (ADAS). These parts feature advanced power
management, hot-plug connectivity and an integrated 100MHz clock buffer
to ease design and lower BOM cost.
Vehicle telematics and infotainment systems demand connectivity that
meets both the latest communication standards and automotive reliability
criteria. Based on Diodes' industry-leading PI7C9X2G PCIe2 Packet Switch
family, the PI7C9X2G304SLQ and PI7C9X2G404SLQ devices offer compliance
with AEC-Q100 Grade 3 over the full automotive temperature range of
-40°C to +85°C, while meeting PCISIG PCIe rev. 2.1 to assure good
interoperability.
With an MTBF rate of over 50 million hours, these highly reliable
automotive devices are characterized by low power dissipation-typically
650mW in normal L0 mode and just 200mW in L1 mode-which eases thermal
design. High performance is also ensured by the family's low latency,
which is typically 150ns for a packet running through the switch without
blocking.
To meet non-automotive requirements for greater fan-out, port-extension
flexibility, and to support multiple-host functionality for failover
operation, Diodes has also introduced 9-port/12-lane and 16-port/16-lane
versions of its PCIe Packet Switches, the PI7C9X2G912GP and
PI7C9X2G1616PR. These support multiple x2 downstreamports, making them
well-suited for a wide range of embedded system, networking, telecom and
storage applications, such as backplanes, industrial process
controllers, switches, routers, gateways, base stations, RAID
controllers, solid state drives, and NAS equipment.
Diodes' automotive-grade PI7C9X2G304SLQ and PI7C9X2G404SLQ Packet
Switches are offered in a 128-pin LQFP package. The 9-port/12-lane
PI7C9X2G912GP Packet Switch is packaged in a 196-pin PBGA, while the
16-port/16-lane PI7C9X2G1616PR comes in a 324-pin HSBGA package.
Diodes is exhibiting on Booth 431 in Hall 3A at Embedded World 2017 in
Nuremberg, Germany, March 14-16, and welcomes visitors to come and find
out more about its exciting new products. Further information is also be
