PI3PCIE3212ZBEX Integrated Circuits (ICs)

The PI3PCIE3212ZBEX is an integrated analog switch designed specifically for data management in storage systems. It is part of an expanding family of ultra-low power, highly-integrated and flexible analog-switches for both input and output applications. The PI3PCIE3212ZBEX is a dual, full-on switch specifically designed for the data management requirements of high-end storage systems. It features two independent, low power 4:8 analog signal muxes, with individually adjustable power settings. The optimum power settings of the signal mux may be adjusted to achieve maximum efficiency and performance in the end-application.

Application Field

PI3PCIE3212ZBEX is ideal for applications in the storage systems, – RAID systems, servers, storage enclosure, and storage cards. The device is suitable for applications requiring multiple, high performance switches with multiple signal inputs and outputs. Furthermore, the device has low power consumption, making it a great fit for battery operated and low power applications. The PI3PCIE3212ZBEX is also a good choice for applications requiring multiple switch lanes.

Working Principle

The PI3PCIE3212ZBEX has two independent analog signal muxes. Both the muxes have digitally adjustable settings. Each mux has an input and an output, as well as four switching pins and eight inputs. The eight inputs are connected to eight lanes, each carrying four digital data streams. The four switching pins are programmed with the power settings of the mux and can be individually adjusted. The mux can be configured to accept different power settings, and the settings are stored in a non-volatile memory. When the power settings are changed, the mux will reconfigure itself to the new power setting. The switch is designed to support a range of operating speeds, up to 5GHz.

The PI3PCIE3212ZBEX is easy to use. It has a simple, user friendly interface and does not require any external components. The device is also compatible with many existing storage systems and plug-and-play solutions. Furthermore, the device can be operated in both asynchronous and synchronous modes to support a variety of operating speeds and power settings.

The PI3PCIE3212ZBEX is an ideal choice for applications requiring multiple, high performance switches with multiple signal inputs and outputs. It is notable for its low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring energy efficiency. It is also easy to use and can be quickly configured to meet the performance requirements of specific data management requirements.
