Diodes Incorporated announced the PI3WVR628 3-lane 2:1 switch measuring just 1.7×2.4×0.5mm. The MIPI-compliant switch supports high speed (HS) and low power (LP) connections to CSI/DSI, D-PHY and C-PHY modules. With its industry-leading small outline, the PI3WVR628 is suitable for any device that integrates multiple camera modules, such as smart phones, tablets and laptops, as well as displays.
PI3WVR628 integrates six single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches with a bandwidth of 6GHz to control three lanes, organized as two data lanes and one clock lane for D-PHY modules and two lanes for C-PHY modules. It also features select and output enable inputs with integrated control logic.
Despite its small size, the PI3WVR628 can support data rates of up to 3.5Gsps for C-PHY compliant modules and 4.5Gbps for D-PHY compliant modules. The ability to support both formats provides design flexibility, allowing manufacturers to benefit from the PI3WVR628’s small profile when using either interface.
Operating from a supply of between 1.5V and 3.6V, the PI3WVR628 has a quiescent current of 11μA (typical), falling to a maximum of 1μA when in high-impedance mode.
