Diodes Incorporated has introduced the PI3WVR14412Q, an automotive-compliant 20 Gbps 1:2 video switch for in-cabin infotainment and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications. This device features a space-saving design and is qualified for elevated temperatures.

The switch has four high-speed lanes with a 10 GHz bandwidth to handle DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, MIPI DPHY/CPHY, USB 3.2, and LVDS connections. In addition, there are switches for hot-plug detection (HPD), HDMI display data channel (DDC), and DisplayPort auxiliary (AUX) signals. Low insertion loss, low return loss, and low channel-to-channel crosstalk ensure excellent signal integrity.

Capable of passing high-speed differential signals up to 1.2 V peak-to-peak, the PI3WVR14412Q allows a common-mode voltage from 0 V to the supply rail, which can be up to 3.3 V. This wide voltage range permits DC signal coupling, enabling designers to save PCB space otherwise needed for AC-coupling capacitors.

The PI3WVR14412Q is automotive-compliant - qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2, manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities, and supports PPAP documents. The wide ambient operating temperature range, from -40°C to 105°C, permits deployment in challenging environments or locations exposed to direct sunlight.
