PI3PCIE2415ZHE

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Overview

The PI3PCIE2415ZHE is a 3.3V PCI Express® 2.0, 2-lane, 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer switch manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features four differential channels and supports data rates up to 5.0 Gbps. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V and functions reliably across an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum bit-to-bit skew of 7 ps, a maximum channel-to-channel skew of 35 ps, and a typical on-resistance of 12 Ohms at minimum supply voltage. The component is housed in a 42-contact TQFN package.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Supports bi-directional operation for routing two full PCIe 2.0 lanes to one of two locations.
• Features low bit-to-bit skew and minimized impedance for negligible signal attenuation.
• Includes ESD tolerance of 2kV HBM and a 3.6V tolerant SEL input pin.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Applications

• Routing of PCIe 2.0 signals with low signal attenuation
• Placement between two PCIe slots

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when sourcing components. The 'E' suffix indicates Pb-free and Green packaging compliant with environmental standards. An 'X' suffix denotes tape and reel packaging options. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required mechanical form factor and material specifications for the target assembly process.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 2-lane PCIe 2.0 switch operating at 3.3V. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Verify that the system power supply remains stable between 3.0 V and 3.6 V to maintain performance parameters such as insertion loss and crosstalk levels defined in the datasheet.
