Toshiba's Multiplexer/Demultiplexer Switches Achieve High Bandwidths

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has launched “TDS4A212MX” and “TDS4B212MX”, multiplexer/demultiplexer (Mux/De-Mux) switches for high-speed differential signals such as PCIe 5.0, USB4 and USB4 Version 2 (Ver.2), for personal computers (PCs), server equipment, and mobile devices.

Shipments of the new products which can be used as a two-input one-output (2:1) Mux switch and a one-input two-output (1:2) De-Mux switch, have begun, according to Toshiba in a statement.

Both products use Toshiba's proprietary silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process (TarfSOI) to achieve very high bandwidths, allowing the new products to be used as a Mux/De-Mux switch for high-speed differential signals such as PCIe 5.0, USB4 and USB4 Ver.2.

TDS4B212MX and TDS4A212MX have different pin assignments. While TDS4B212MX is optimised for high-frequency characteristics, TDS4A212MX has a pin assignment that considers circuit board layout.

A supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, Toshiba draws on over half a century of experience and innovation to offer customers and business partners outstanding discrete semiconductors, system large scale integrations (LSIs) and hard disk drive (HDD) products.
