Diodes Incorporated has released the PI3WVR628 3-lane 2:1 switch measuring only 1.7mm x 2.4mm x 0.5mm. The MIPI-compliant switch supports high speed and low power connections to CSI/DSI, D-PHY and C-PHY modules. With its small outline, the device is ideal for any device that incorporates multiple camera modules, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, as well as displays.
The device combines six SPDT switches with a bandwidth of 6GHz to control three lanes, organised as two data lanes and one clock lane for D-PHY modules and two lanes for C-PHY modules. It also offers select, and output enable inputs with integrated control logic.
Regardless of its small size, the device can support data rates of up to 3.5Gsps for C-PHY compliant modules and 4.5Gbps for D-PHY compliant modules. The capacity to support both formats provides design flexibility, enabling manufacturers to profit from the device's small profile when employing either interface.
Operating from a supply of between 1.5V and 3.6V, the device has a quiescent current of 11μA (typical), falling to a maximum of 1μA when in high-impedance mode.
