PCIe® 3.0 Packet Switches from Diodes Incorporated Bring Greater Data Lane Versatility to Automotive Systems

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(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
