ST’s new STMUX3040 is a differential Single
Pole Double Throw (SPDT) 2 to 1, low Ron, bi-directional
signal switch designed for PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect
Express) signaling.
Providing very low cross-talk, low bit-to-bit skew, high channel-to-channel
noise isolation and low I/O capacitance, this switch offers very
little or practically no attenuation of the high-speed signals at
the outputs, thus preserving the signal integrity.
An integrated voltage regulator allows operation at
a 3.3 V power supply if necessary. The integrated voltage regulator
is bypassed automatically if supply voltage is 1.8 V.
Using STMUX3040 as a PCIe signal switch, systems are able to dynamically
reallocate PCIe lanes to the slots that require higher bandwidth,
giving the system the ability of optimize performance of different
PCIe peripherals.
PCIe resource allocations
STMUX3040 could be used as a general purpose high-speed low resistance
signal switch. For example, the LVDS connection between multiple
GPU and a single LCD in high performance notebooks.
