PI3PCIE3415AZHE+DRX

Specialized Overview

The PI3PCIE3415AZHE+DRX is a 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer switch manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports PCI Express 3.0 performance at 8.0Gbps with four differential channels. The device operates on a single +3.3V power supply within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It features low bit-to-bit skew (max 10ps) and low channel-to-channel skew (max 20ps). Electrical characteristics include -48dB crosstalk, -22dB off isolation, and -1.2dB insertion loss at 4GHz. The component is housed in a 42-contact V-QFN package.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Supports bi-directional operation for routing two full PCIe lanes to one of two locations
• Optimized pinout placement between two PCIe slots
• Minimizes impedance to ensure negligible signal attenuation

Specialized Applications

• Routing of PCI Express 3.0 signals
• DP1.2 signal routing
• USB3.0 signal routing
• SAS2.0 and SATA3.0 signal routing
• XAUI and RXAUI signal routing

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging specifications. The +DRX designation indicates a specific reel width configuration distinct from other variants. Ensure compatibility with the required 42-contact Very Thin Quad Flat No-Lead package dimensions before procurement.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when designing layouts requiring minimal signal attenuation for high-speed serial interfaces. The device is suitable for applications demanding low skew and high off-isolation. Verify that the system voltage requirements align with the specified 3.3V operating range and that the thermal environment remains within the industrial temperature limits.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the PI3PCIE3415A product line designed for high-performance switching applications. It is specifically engineered to meet PCI Express specification requirements regarding channel-to-channel skew and crosstalk. The device utilizes a unique design technique to optimize layout and minimize impedance.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

PI3PCIE3415AZHEX is a tape and reel variant of the same functional device. PI3PCIE3415AZLEX is a 40-pin TQFN version with different physical dimensions. Verify package compatibility and pin assignments before substituting.
