New switching and power management product target Thunderbolt, USB, and Video protocols


Pericom wants to share our latest press release on our new switching and power management product solutions targeted to mobility, server/storage, embedded, and networking applications.
Pericom Expands Mobile Platform Connectivity Solutions
New switching and power management product target Thunderbolt, USB, and Video protocols
San Jose, CA, April 8, 2013 – Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a leading supplier of serial high-speed connectivity, signal-conditioning and timing solutions, today announced new switching and power management products targeting advanced  connectivity requirements of the latest CPU chipsets for mobility and related applications. The new power management products control platform voltage distribution with unique features for mobile platforms, while the new switching products are optimized forThunderboltUSB, and HDMI/DP (DisplayPort) switching applications. 
ThunderBolt Switch, USB Signal Switch, HDMI/DP Switch
“Our newly announced switching and power management product solutions are optimized with unique industry features that improve customer platform performance,” said Alex Hui, Pericom president and CEO. “We continue to focus our product development on providing industry leading features in our targeted mobility, server/storage, embedded, and networking markets.”
Load Switch
Power switch IC
The 2 new power management load switches sequence the voltage turn-on in mobile platforms to help conserve battery drain. Pericom offers industry unique linear slew rates which provide a smooth voltage ramp, with the benefit of preserving battery life.
The new 10.3Gbps Thunderbolt high speed switch is designed to multiplex and de-multiplex  the main Thunderbolt data paths into individual signals from the graphics processor and route them to a platform connector or end point. The switch includes two 10.3Gbps full duplex data paths, can accept DP and HDMI signals, and offers extremely low power and signal attenuation to preserve high speed signal integrity and system performance.
Load Switch
Switch IC
The 2 new HDMI/DP high speed switches can accept a very wide signal range, which enables the platform’s video stream to operate, even if the external signal is less than optimum. The new USB signal switch adds a unique feature that protects the CPU chipset from accidental over-voltage damage via USB connector reversal or mishandling.
Unit growth of Pericom’s targeted platforms show a healthy 56% 3 year growth for TAB to 222Mu, and a strong 31% 3 year growth to 528Mu for PC/NB (IDC, June 2012).
