New product offerings meet signal integrity demands set by PCI Express 3.0 & DisplayPort 1.2 for notebook and desktop computing, server and network storage equipment applications
ON Semiconductor Corporation has introduced two new multiple-channel differential switching ICs in single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch configurations for high frequency signals such as PCI Express 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 I/O signals. Target applications include notebook computers, desktop computers, servers and network storage equipment.
The NCN3612B is a 6-channel differential SPDT switch that supports 8 gigabits per second (Gbps) data transfer due to its high bandwidth. It has an on-state capacitance (CON) of 2.1 pF (typical) and an on-state resistance (RDSON) of 8 ohms (Ω) (typical). This is complemented by the NCN3411, which is a 4-channel differential switch also capable of supporting 8 Gbps operation. It has a CON of 2 pF (typical) and a RDSON of 7.5 Ω (typical). These attributes make the two new devices highly suited to routing PCI Express 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 I/O signals.
The NCN3612B has a power supply voltage range of 3 volts (V) to 3.6 V and draws a supply current of just 250 microamps (µA) (typical), while the NCN3411 has a power supply voltage range of 1.5 V to 2.0 V and draws a supply current of 200 µA. These new devices have an operational ambient temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C.
Packaging and Pricing
The NCN3612B is offered in a Pb-free, 56-pin WQFN (5 mm × 11 mm × 0.75 mm) package and is priced at $1.30 per unit in 2,000 unit quantities. The NCN3411 is offered in a Pb-free, 42-pin WQFN (3.5 mm × 9 mm × 0.75 mm) package and is priced at $1.15 per unit in 2,000 unit quantities.
