The new PI74LVC logic family provides bidirectional 3 to 5V voltage translation.
This new portfolio of application-specific analogue products helps rejuvenate the interest of design engineers by offering switching solutions that address applications requiring up to 700MHz of bandwidth.
"The industry continues to demand more performance and data throughput in next generation server, networking, PC, cellular and industrial platforms.
Pericom's new broadband differential switch technology provides our valued customers new ways of switching these high speed differential signals required to drive DVI, 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, and Firewire interfaces while maintaining excellent signal integrity", explained Jeff DeAngelis, Director of Marketing.
"This innovative breed of proprietary broadband differential switches will continue to pave the way for more advancements and new uses in customer platforms that were never believed possible until now".
These new broadband switches provide wide operating bandwidths up to 700MHz for TMDS and LVDS signalling standards by simultaneously minimising both on-resistance, and on-capacitance.
This innovative technology also provides attractive attributes in the memory product segment by offering customers the ability to significantly reduce bus loading thus resulting in the ability to double the memory capacity in common applications such as CompactFlash (CF) and PCMCIA cards.
This broadband differential switch technology demonstrates Pericom's continued commitment to provide our customers and the industry innovative application specific product solutions.
Free product samples, datasheets, Ibis models, technical support, and application notes are available today on the company website.
The devices are housed in a variety of performance and space saving packaging.
Pricing is configuration dependant.
A four-channel device starts at $1.50 in 500-unit quantities.
