Optimally Configured for All Arrangements of PCIe Slots, Connectors and Switches

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2013 — (PRNewswire) —   Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced the launch of the TC7PCI3412MT and TC7PCI3415MT, which are two-lane SPDT switches that support PCI Express (PCIe) Gen3 (8Gbps) signals.

The TC7PCI3412MT and TC7PCI3415MT reduce switch terminal capacitance to achieve high bandwidth characteristics of 10GHz at -3dB, making high-speed transmission with lower signal degradation capable.  The new switches are optimally configured for all arrangements of PCIe slots, connectors and switches on the motherboards of desktop and notebook PCs – as well as servers. The TC7PCI3412MT and TC7PCI3415MT can also be used for high-speed differential lines, including: USB 3.0, DisplayPort 1.2 and SATA 3.0.

Features include:

• Operating power-supply voltage: V_CC=3.0V to 3.6V
• Wide -3dB Bandwidth: 10GHz(typ.) @V_CC=3.3V
• Low insertion loss: IL=-1dB @V_CC=3.3V, f=4GHz
• Low switch terminal ON-capacitance: C_I/O=1.5pF(typ.) @V_CC=3.3V
• Industry standard packaging: TQFN42

Main Specifications

According to Talayeh Saderi, business development manager for TAEC, "Our new two-lane SPDT switches have a frequency of 10GHz at -3dB, while many other similar products offer 8GHz at -3dB. Capable of handling up to two PCIe lanes in a given PCIe application, these new switches are ideally suited for circuit design engineers working with third generation PCIe."

Pricing and Availability
Toshiba's new two-lane SPDT switches are available now. Budgetary pricing begins at $0.60 with volume discounts available.
