10Gbps Automotive-Compliant Active Crossbar Mux from Diodes Incorporated Simplifies Smart-Cockpit Connectivity

Plano, Texas – August 20, 2024 – Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces its automotive-compliant* 10Gbps 6:4 active crossbar multiplexer (mux) with a linear ReDriver™. The compact PI3DPX1225Q switches USB 3.2 and DisplayPort™ 2.1 signals through a USB Type-C® connector, and delivers low-latency connectivity with high signal integrity for smart cockpits and rear-seat entertainment systems.

The PI3DPX1225Q supports three operating modes: the device can connect one lane of USB 3.2 Gen 2 to the USB Type-C connector; one lane of USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two channels of DP 2.1 UHBR10; or four channels of DP 2.1 UHBR10. The device also integrates an AUX listener and, in compliance with the USB Type-C standard, swaps the AUX channels when a flipped cable is detected.

For each of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 and DP 2.1 UHBR10 operating modes, the differential signals can be easily adjusted with continuous time linear equalization (CTLE). Output compression swing (-1dB) and flat-gain values are controlled by the I2C setting. By reducing intersymbol interference (ISI) jitter, the 10Gbps signal performance is optimized over a variety of physical mediums. Linear equalization does not block the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) receiver’s adaptive channel controls—this supports DP 2.1 transparent link training (LT) without dependency on the DP-AUX channels listener.

The PI3DPX1225Q is packaged in a 40-Pin W-QFN6040-40 with a compact 4mm x 6mm footprint. The PI3DPX1225Q is available from $1.87 in 3,500-piece quantities.

A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verification

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process.
