PI3PCIE3415ZHE

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Overview

The PI3PCIE3415ZHE is a 3.3V, PCI Express 3.0 compliant multiplexer/demultiplexer switch manufactured by Diodes Incorporated under the Pericom brand. It features four differential channels configured as a 2:1 Mux/DeMux, capable of switching two full PCIe lanes to one of two locations at data rates up to 8.0Gbps per lane. The device operates with a supply voltage of 3.3V and utilizes a 42-contact TQFN (ZH42) package. Key electrical specifications include a -3dB bandwidth of 8.2GHz, maximum bit-to-bit skew of 10ps, and maximum channel-to-channel skew of 20ps. Signal integrity metrics specify low crosstalk of -50dB at 4GHz, low off-isolation of -21dB at 4GHz, and low insertion loss of -1.5dB at 4GHz.
