Diodes Incorporated has introduced a new automotive-compliant 10Gbps 6:4 active crossbar multiplexer (mux) with a linear ReDriver. The compact PI3DPX1225Q switches USB 3.2 and DisplayPort 2.1 signals through a USB Type-C connector, providing low-latency connectivity with high signal integrity for smart cockpits and rear-seat entertainment systems.
The PI3DPX1225Q offers support for three operating modes, enabling connection of one lane of USB 3.2 Gen 2 to the USB Type-C connector, one lane of USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two channels of DP 2.1 UHBR10, or four channels of DP 2.1 UHBR10. The device integrates an AUX listener and automatically swaps the AUX channels when a flipped cable is detected, in compliance with the USB Type-C standard.
With features like continuous time linear equalization (CTLE) for adjusting differential signals, output compression swing control, and optimized 10Gbps signal performance, the PI3DPX1225Q ensures high-quality connectivity over a range of physical mediums. The device’s compact 4mm x 6mm footprint makes it ideal for automotive applications, and it is available for purchase starting at $1.87 in 3,500-piece quantities.
