PI3PCIE3413ZHEX

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Overview

The PI3PCIE3413ZHEX is a 3.3V, PCI Express® 3.0 compliant 2-lane, 3:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer switch manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V and supports data rates up to 8.0Gbps. The device features an 8GHz -3dB bandwidth, low bit-to-bit skew of 10ps maximum, and low crosstalk of -40dB at 4GHz. It utilizes a 42-contact TQFN package (ZH42) with an exposed pad for thermal dissipation. The component includes a power-down option and is marked as obsolete, not recommended for new designs.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Supports bi-directional operation for routing two full PCI Express 3.0 lanes to one of three locations.
• Utilizes a unique design technique to minimize impedance, attenuation, channel-to-channel skew, and crosstalk.
• Includes a dedicated power-down feature controlled via SEL pins to reduce standby current consumption.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Applications

• Routing of PCI Express 3.0 signals with low signal attenuation
• PCIe lane switching in server and storage systems

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

This specific part number is officially obsolete and not recommended for new designs. Verification of the exact ordering suffix is critical, as the 'E' indicates Pb-free and Green packaging, while the 'X' denotes Tape/Reel delivery. Sourcing should focus on legacy stock or authorized distributors handling end-of-life inventory rather than standard production channels.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Designers must transition to the PI3PCIE3413A series, which serves as the direct replacement for this obsolete component. When selecting alternatives, ensure compatibility with the required 3.3V supply voltage and verify that the replacement maintains the necessary 8.0Gbps performance and 42-TQFN footprint for existing PCB layouts.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Part Context

The PI3PCIE3413 belongs to the Pericom Semiconductor product line, now integrated into Diodes Incorporated's portfolio. This specific model was engineered to meet strict PCI Express specifications regarding signal integrity, offering low insertion loss and high off-isolation for reliable high-speed data transmission in complex motherboard architectures.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Official datasheets explicitly state to use PI3PCIE3413A as the replacement. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics against the A-series datasheet before implementation.
