Toshiba: Bus Switch ICs Supporting PCIe 3.0

Toshiba Corporation will launch two-lane SPDT switches that support PCIe 3.0 (8Gbps).

The new products, TC7PCI3412MT and TC7PCI3415MT, reduce switch terminal capacitance to achieve high bandwidth characteristics of 10GHz at -3dB, making high-speed transmission with lower signal degradation capable.

The new SPDT switches have configurations for all arrangements of PCIe slots, connectors, and switches on the motherboards of desktop PCs and notebook PCs. They can also be used for high-speed differential lines, such as USB 3.0, DisplayPort 1.2, and SATA 3.0.

Samples are available with mass production scheduled for the end of January.

Applications
Motherboards (desktop PCs), laptop PCs, servers
