Pericom Semiconductor Introduces Eight New Low-Voltage 500 MHz Bus Switches
Posted on: Friday, 23 April 2004, 06:00 CDT
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pericom Semiconductor Corporation , a world-wide preferred supplier of high-speed integrated circuits and frequency control devices, has released eight new NanoSwitch(TM) digital bus switch products that are ideally suited to address the operational requirements of next generation Servers, RAID, Super VGA, Memory Bank Switching, and High-performance Networking/Telecom Backplanes.
Pericom's new PI3CH family of Low-voltage (2.5V/3.3V), High-bandwidth (500MHz) Bus Switches offer expanded performance capabilities that meet the challenges of advanced performance communication buses like PCI-X, as well as emerging DDR-I / DDR-2 memory standards, and also simplifies the I/O migration from parallel to serial differential signaling standards. Key performance features in this product family include very flat On-Resistance (5-Ohm -- Flat) across the full device bandwidth, and very low On/Off Capacitance (5-10pF) that enables the Switches to be used in applications to reduce bus loading. The 5V I/O tolerance and beyond rail-to-rail capability makes the PI3CH Switches ideal for bridging legacy 5V I/O based platforms to next generation 2.5V/3V systems.
"Pericom's #1 position in Digital Bus Switch over the past two consecutive years has provided us with an intimate perspective on the industry, and has enabled us to focus our technology to help drive unparalleled performance levels" explained Jeff DeAngelis, Director of Product Marketing. "This product line extension helps rejuvenate the design engineer's toolbox by offering new performance alternatives never believed possible in Digital Bus Switch technology."
Key Features:
-- High signal passing bandwidth (500 MHz)
-- Beyond Rail-to-Rail Switching
-- 5V I/O Tolerant with 3.3V supply
