Diodes Incorporated Launches Automotive-Grade Video Switch for ADAS Systems
Diodes Incorporated recently unveiled its latest technological advancement, the PI3WVR14412Q, specifically engineered for the automotive sector. This state-of-the-art 20 Gbps 1:2 video switch is optimized for use in both in-cabin infotainment systems and sophisticated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). With its compact design, this switch is particularly suited for applications where space is at a premium and reliability under extreme conditions is critical.
The innovative PI3WVR14412Q distinguishes itself with four high-speed transmission lanes capable of accommodating up to 10 GHz bandwidth each. This versatile functionality supports multiple connection standards including DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, MIPI DPHY/CPHY, USB 3.2, and LVDS. This adaptability ensures that it can be integrated into a variety of automotive systems without compatibility concerns.
In addition to its robust connectivity options, the PI3WVR14412Q includes specialized switches for critical signaling functions such as hot-plug detection (HPD) for HDMI, Display Data Channel (DDC) for HDMI, and auxiliary (AUX) signals for DisplayPort. This attention to detail in design facilitates smoother and more reliable communication between devices, enhancing the overall system performance.
The switch also boasts superior signal integrity features, including low insertion loss, minimal return loss, and reduced channel-to-channel crosstalk. These qualities help maintain exceptional signal clarity and precision across its operational bandwidth, making it an ideal choice for high-speed data transmission requirements.
Another standout feature of the PI3WVR14412Q is its ability to handle high-speed differential signals up to 1.2 V peak-to-peak. It offers a commendably broad common-mode voltage range from 0 V to the full extent of its 3.3 V supply rail. This capability not only facilitates DC signal coupling—eliminating the need for additional PCB space dedicated to AC-coupling capacitors—but also enhances design flexibility and saves valuable space.
Designed with stringent standards in mind, the PI3WVR14412Q is fully compliant with automotive industry specifications. It meets the AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements, ensuring that it performs reliably in a wide ambient operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C. This makes it perfectly suited for deployment in demanding environments, including locations within vehicles that are exposed to direct sunlight.
Manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities, the PI3WVR14412Q supports Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, underscoring its quality and dependability for automotive applications.
